#closed interaction .

[righteaous]

as the opening band , it's just part of vivienne's job to get the crowd hyped . she does exactly that , too . they all do . no one in strawberry rebellion leaves the stage without giving a major performance . they have a whole gig . some regular songs from the band , some songs where the girls of the band are the focus and vocals , and some cover music for the fun of it . the crowd loves it .

it's not until the girls go onto perform their songs that vivienne really shows what she's made of . the rhythm guitar stops for drum solo from her bandmate in the back ﹠ she walks down to the edge of the stage where she sees someone in the crowd holding up a sign for her . she reads it , then pulls them on stage to dare ﹠ give them a kiss in front of thousands of people in the arena . it lights up on the big screen behind them , camera's zoomed in on their spark of unexpected romance . by time vivienne is done with her , her lipstick is slightly smudged . only slightly , considering it is matte ﹠ she applied some extra strength , homemade setting spray .

a wink , a peck on the cheek , and a she sends @ofbookshelves on her way back down to the crowd ... it's not until after the show that they see each other again .

“ just wondering if you bought last minute VIP to come see me .ᐣ ” she says to the woman as she signs off on her merchandise ﹠ autograph . “ i'm teasing , ” vivienne laughs ﹠ flashes perfectly straight , pearly whites when she does . look at that , she signed her number on the photo the woman handed her . “ call me tomorrow , yeah .ᐣ ”

right , it's been a while since she's seen @racointeur . she's still not sure how she felt about their last interaction . he told her what their relationship was going to be like from there on out and she just wasn't sure she could get behind it . did she ghost him for a bit ? maybe .

right now , she's ducking down behind a clothes rack at the mall ; she'll only peek out to look at him once — ah , fuck ! he's standing right there ... “ heyyy , ” she says awkwardly in an attempt to play things off . she's so embarrassed . god damn it .

“ quite a show , @caelestiigne . you do that often .ᐣ sprain your wrist in the middle of everything , i mean . ” asks lilith , who is about to wrap up keegan's wrist backstage . “ heard you're a messy guy , just f - y - i ... is that true .ᐣ i'm just curious , ” they laugh ﹠ offer him a shot of vodka to drink from the flask attached to their belt so he can drink off the pain .

from: @fatalsmile — ❝ what has gotten into you? ❞ / heath ( blood and darkness starters. )

heathen is standing there , covered in blood . he's doing his post murder ritual , which involves singing ‘ hot to go ’ by chappell roan . why .ᐣ because he loves that song , that's why . he's whistling it , doing the dance ﹠ everything .

“ dance with me —- c'mon , ” he says with a laugh . “ c'monnn —- h - o - t - t - o - g - o .ᐟ ” he insists , then grabs hold of her to move her arms along to the rhythm as the song plays on his phone . “ might as well enjoy it now 'cause guess who's helpin' me chop up the body ... mhm , that's right ... you are .ᐟ ”

from: @caelestiigne — “let’s get you some food.” / miles to tal ( hurt/comfort prompt. )

normally , talbot would tell somebody to fuck off for trying to comfort him . he's tired , but restless , after dealing with his family . it's emotional exhaustion more than anything . dunno , maybe they're right about him — maybe he's a spoiled , entitled brat who can't help himself .

“ ... okay , ” he murmurs , then tugs miles down to kiss his cheek . “ can you cook for me , be my cute wife for the day .ᐣ ” he asks , then hugs onto miles' side to find comfort in him . he's effectively sulking ﹠ pouting about the fight he had with his sister ... starting now .

from: @caelestiigne — send me 🔪 to put a knife to my muse’s throat and see how they react. / saint & coven .

whooooa , okay . not what she expected , but kind of hot . they're really gonna do this dance , huh .ᐣ coven attempts to disarm him , then twists his arm behind his back ﹠ pins him to the wall .

“ you wanna try that again , cutie .ᐣ ” they ask , giggling into his ear from behind . they've got him pulled down to their level to make this easier on the both of them ... eventually , they let go to pick up the knife ﹠ twirl it around in their fingers .

“ switchblade , huh .ᐣ super cute , i have a few of those , too — ” what she doesn't mention is that she's currently wearing them somewhere on her persons . “ well , mine now . unless you can take it from me . ”

from: @prophetsvessel — “ah, so you’re taking pity on me, then?” (ziggy @stardustsruin for dean!) / from 'blood and darkness starters.'

the assumption brings a frown to dean's face . he shakes his head ﹠ raises his hands defensively .

“ no , no — just concerned is all , ” he says , then continues to patch ziggy up . “ ya can't just go flying at things like a bat out of hell , ” he says sternly , but it's clear this is hard for him . he acts the same way some days , but he says it because he cares , not because he wants to be hard on them . a bandaid here ﹠ there , some gauze ﹠ tape elsewhere , and they're as good as new .

“ i'll call in a friend for the stitches , i don't trust myself to do them . hold it together for me — 'kay , kiddo .ᐣ ”
