What about kisses while hugging from the back for kendis x nate if you're taking prompts?
i, in fact, am! very tentatively. you get to be my writing for the day. yay you! .... or sorry.
Nathaniel didn't like to consider himself an impulsive man --- for the fact of the matter, he's spent the entirety of his lives cultivating the exact opposite image.
His fingers flexed into a fist after he placed his hand against the doorframe, the strength of his focus was so ensnared by the sight before him that it didn't register to him that his fingernails were eating into the meat of his palm.
It was on her neck. Nate squeezed fingers even tighter together as ... something, some feeling ... some sensation .... caught in his throat. Here at the entrance of the Warehouse's kitchen, after a long and tense day at the Agency, he found boundaries of his patience being tested ...
By the large streak that had managed to find itself on the back of Kendis' neck.
His body remained rigid, stiff as the feeling lodged inside of him, as he attempted to keep himself from just grabbing them into him. He knew ... thought made him stiffen even more, but he knew that it wasn't just his touch that Kendis shied away from. Yet the thought he made them uncomfortable for some reason made him want to push further, instead of falling back. He felt as if he didn't ... he didn't crowd her than she would slip away from fingers that they didn't dare let reach them.
That was unlike him. She made him so unlike himself at times, that he hated it. He hated it so much, he thought; and the corners of his lips flowed into a smile and the frustration he'd been feeling melted away. He couldn't help but picture all the possible reasons for the flour at the back of their neck.
He found himself stepping forward, easing away from the doorway, and giving into the temptation and desire to jerk her close to him. He really wanted to. He knew he could just ask for the touch that he badly needed but Kendis being Kendis there were worse things they could say aside for 'no'. And 'no' was already devastating in it's own right.
Before he could give into the temptation, she turned partly as if she sensed him. The corner of her eye flickered toward him before she turned back toward the counter, set something down, and turned back fully toward him.
Their eyes trailed from his not-at-all artfully tousled hair and took in the wrinkles on his shirt that he hoped he had smoothed away effectively as well as the scuff on the shoes that had been polished when he'd left earlier in the day.
"Whoa. Farah wasn't kidding. You look like --"
"Please," He sighed, tired for various reasons, "don't finish that."
She scoffed but despite that a smirk tilted her lips crookedly before she teased, "Hey. I coulda hit you right off with what Morgan said. But sure." They shrugged. "Since you had such a donkey's crackhole of a day," Nathaniel resisted the urge to wince as they continued on, "I suppose I should cheer you up. An' play nice. Whadda you want? I think the dogpark's still -"
"A hug." The words slipped out before he could stop himself.
He wasn't sure if he hoped that she hadn't or that she had heard his words.
Given her sudden stillness -- a stillness that was an absence of movement that almost rival a vampire's -- it really didn't matt what he hoped. What he wanted.
It felt as if minutes crawled by and he found himself agitated again for another moment in this extremely long day -- agitated in a way he'd never really been since he was a boy .... Perhaps the was the correct term was antsy.
Perhaps that was the feeling that kept itself stuck inside of him, under his skin. Kendis often had a way of making him feel antsy.
His typically quick tongue, adept at smoothing things over felt rigid in his mouth.
And she just kept staring at him. She truly did make him feel so unlike himself.
"Sure."
The word was stated so simply, without any argument Nate would have thought it was his imagination - he likely would have missed it if he hadn't been a vampire - until she opened their arms for him to step into.
"I -"
"This has a time limit so you better hop to it."
It was his turn to stare. Then blink. Then slowly his lips curved into another smile as he caught the impatient wiggling of their fingers.
He felt as if he were slipping free from the weight of the day ... and something extra as he fell into their welcoming arms. He felt almost delirious. He felt so very light as he took the opportunity to in turn wrap his arms around them.
"You know," he started, "for someone who dislikes hugs you are quite --"
"Your luck. You're pushing it."
"I wouldn't the man you -- you cared for if I didn't." Clearly he'd become a man possessed.
Kendis let out a loud snort near his ear and pressed a soft kiss at his temple; so, of course, Nate took the opportunity to place one at the corner of her lips. They rolled their eyes.
she said better luck next time don't worry so much
without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch
as I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
but I should have gone deeper, but I'm not so brave, I said
yeah this is song is like. acid trip sorta level but it’s also abstract and bizarre in a way that fits really well with inky and concepts surrounding them lol
I knew that look dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago
So I will not ask you
Why you were creeping
In some sad way I already know
I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask you and neither would you
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do

retrograde || james blake
You're on your own
In a world you've grown
Few more years to go
Don't let the hurdle fall
So be the girl you loved
Be the girl you loved
I'll wait
So show me why you’re strong
Ignore everybody else
We're alone now
I'll wait
So show me why you’re strong
Ignore everybody else
We’re alone now
Suddenly I'm hit
It's the starkness of the dawn
And your friends are gone
And your friends won’t come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit
i had a whole shepard playlist once upon a time but it seems i deleted it at some point TwT
Sun’s a Colonist Origin ;w;
send me a ♫ + a character’s name and I will respond with a song that reminds me of them. send a ♫ + a ship and I will do the same.
Poison, zodiac, & shooting star for Emma and Addie?
thank you so much for the questions 🥰
poison: vices/bad habits? what are they? how do they affect your OC?
Emma’s worst habit is probably her inability to stand up for herself and how she often lets other people take advantage of her. The girl has like no healthy boundaries and will often wear herself out to keep the people around her happy. She is also very guilty of telling people what they want to hear to keep them happy. Emma doesn’t have a lot of confidence in herself or really any sense of self worth outside what she can provide for the people around her.
Addie has a terrible sleep schedule. No consistency whatsoever which can leave her feeling groggy and exhausted
zodiac: what’s their sign? does it influence their personality? do they care about astrology?
Emma is a cancer. Big homebody and likes to take care of the people around her. Doesn’t pay a lot of attention to astrology and only knows her sun sign
Addie is a libra. Romantic and charming she enjoys talking to people and learning how they see and experience the world. does know anything about astrology
shooting star: if your OC(s) could have one wish what would it be?
Emma would wish for her dad back, to have a happy and close family
Addie would wish to be free from her family name and legacy. to be able to build her own life
Aww, Hayley is not a morning person (she needs at least 2 cups of coffee first thing to wake up) and would be really cranky. I see this changing gradually over time with Felix. In the beginning, she might snap at him if he says good morning or grumble or ignore him/not say it back until she has coffee but any irritation melts pretty quickly given how he looks at her.
In deep romance, I think she’d open her eyes and love looking into his gold ones and let the warmth there wake her up slowly like the sunrise. Then a soft, “Good morning” exchanged between the two of them before they get up to get ready.
💙— How do they say/show that they miss their partner?
Harley’s not really into texting but she’ll check her messages to see if Felix sent her anything and usually send a couple that say things like “Thinking of you,” “I miss you,” if they won’t see each other for a period of time. Felix is all about sending her messages if he knows he won’t get to talk to her or see her - lots of emojis since they’re more expressive. In deep romance, they’ll try to talk on the phone at least to say good night.
🧺— Random domestic headcanon
I’m going to pick this one - 🏠— How soon do they want to move in together?
This is a funny one because I’m pretty sure it’s early - like Felix wants to be around Harley all the time and they settle into domesticity pretty quickly. But when they actually start talking about living together, it’s more of a jokey conversation about ground rules - like Felix going, “so if I’m going to be here more often, you need to clean the place” and Harley responding with, “if you’re going to live here, you can put your vampire speed to good use and help clean.”
send me an emoji for my characters! (see my detective tags)
hmmm, interesting.... i do love the smell of honey chamomille tea that i drink from time to time before bed, it’s sweet and soothing. also the smell of laundry fresh from the dryer is nice! 💕
🍑 - What is a color that makes you smile?
🌻 sunflower yellow! i love deep golden yellows very much so, that entire family of yellows is my favorite color.
It’s not too late! (I never check my inbox whoops)
3) What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?I love aus of any kind. Neighbor aus? Yes. High school aus’? HELL yes. College aus? Coffee shop aus? Fake dating aus? Future/medieval/space/dragons/literally anything. I love them all.
14) Your favorite side pairings to put in?In Leverage? Hmmm... I love the ot3, but I also kinda really like Eliot/Quinn.
20) 4 sentences from your work that you’re proud of?“And there it is, that deep rooted fear that bubbles up in his chest until he feels like he can’t breath” (this is from something I haven’t posted yet, but I really like it)
“Nate, the mastermind, the man who doesn’t like secrets, the man who could turn the entire team against him with a single question”
Jeeeeeeeeeez this took me way too long I’m so sorry!
11. Books and/or authors who influenced you the most
Oooooh, that’s easy! Everyone who’s been following me on Tumblror been to my house (two groups that sadly don’t interact) knows that, withouta doubt, I owe most of my views on characters, development thereof and thethings you Can Do, Should Do and Should Notdo with regards to storytelling to one Sir Terry Pratchett. Reading the TiffanyAching books when I was fifteen was… an Experience, which is exactly why I’llnever get down from my A’Tuin-themed soap box trying to get everyone else toread them too.
… speaking of which, have youread them? Because they’re really really great!
28. Favourite side character
You know, I’m tempted to make this a Discworld-themed answer butif I did that, I’d have a list of favorites as long as I’m tall.
So I’m gonna pick someone else, and it’s gonna be Percy from A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue. Themain character, Monty, is basically what Ezekiel Jones would be if he waswhite, British, rich and also not as muchas a thief, which is why you also should go and read it. But Percy…
Percy is adorable.
He’s sweet and funny and has the patience of a fucking saint especially where Monty is concerned.He’s also Black, has epilepsy and plays the violin so well it can make angelsweep. I love him and I kind of resent the author for what she does to him inthe second book (A Lady’s Guide toPetticoats and Piracy, which is also amazing). Don’t worry, he lives andall’s well that ends well, but I still gave out a very loud and irate hey at a certain point.
Protect Percy, guys. Protect him at all costs.
49. Which character would you most want to be friendswith, if they were real?
SamwiseGamgee. Because he’d tell me the most amazing stories about Middle Earth (halfof which he’s heard from his Gaffer, the other half he’s seen with his own twovery eyes, mistress, I swear) and then he’d hand me a bowl of the mostdelicious potato stew I’ve ever tasted in my life. And a girl really can’t askfor more than that.
