semi plotted starter for @doesntxlikexalarms​ and @fivedollrshake

HER FRANTIC VOICE OVER the phone made him shake. He was scared for her life and only a tiny bit scared for his. Marsellus was fuckin’ dead and his whole fuckin’ empire was about to come crashin’ down on Mia’s head; he was sure she was already feeling the pressure of that when she yelled over the phone for his help. And he would help.

Vincent takes a staggered drag of his cigarette as he thinks about who he could call. ‘Cause they can’t fuckin’ do this on their own.

Jules?

He pushes the thought of his partner out of his head quickly, his chest aching for a moment. He liked Jules. Jules was his friend but Jules was also very loyal to Marsellus. No doubt there would be some tension there, maybe anger. Of course, anger.

Jesus Christ, he feels like he’s about to have a heart attack.

A trembling hand goes up to pluck the cigarette from his mouth, when it suddenly hits him. He reaches for his cellphone and dials the memorized number, then waits for the other person to pick up.

“Hey, Vic, it’s Vincent! Listen, I know it’s late but I need you’re help, brother.”

is she drunk? or high? can’t tell which is more potent, the champagne or the coke. either way, things are a little fuzzy as she leans over, mumbling a soft “ happy new year “ and planting her lips on his, breaking away in a fit of giggles, turning to the bartender across from them and pulling out her gun, face stoic and brow cocked, “now, empty your fucking register.“

—————————— HE COULDN’T SAY HE WAS SURPRISED -- about the stick up not the kiss -- the kiss came as a sure FUCKIN’ shock. Still, his lips had moved with hers and no matter how brief it was, it still sent shivers down his spine. Her pulling out her gun sent a different exhilaration his way and he couldn’t help but smile like the Cheshire Cat, from ear to ear, as he pulled out his own pistol.

“Do as the lady tells ya!” Pumpkin says to the bartender, gun up in the man’s face, before turning to the bar patrons behind him; just a few old winos in a rundown dive. “THE REST OF YOU FUCKHEADS BE COOL! It’ll all be over soon and you can go back to your maudlin!”

marsellus loves throwing these lavish parties and new years was just another excuse. she’s been on his arm all night, flashing vincent smirks any time she saw him. mia manages to escape as everyone’s counting down. she’s quick, grabbing hold of his sleeve and dragging vincent into the women’s bathroom. she grins, grabbing his tie and giving him a kiss, “ happy new year. wanna raise? “

NEVER MUCH FOR PARTIES, Vincent had still been polite and accepted Marsellus’ request to attend another one of his soirées. Many acquaintances and coworkers were also in attendance but after greeting Marsellus and Mia (her discreetly), he had stuck to Jules’ side for most of the night attempting (and failing) to keep his eyes away from the boss’ wife. Vincent could feel Jules’ contemptuous side-eye and he wondered how much he knew about them two.

A countdown begins and he finds relief in the thought that the whole shindig will soon wind down and he’ll be on his way home. Suddenly, he’s being yanked away and pushed into a bathroom. Blue eyes, wide and in disbelief, settle on Mia before he feels her plush lips against his. He allows himself to reciprocate briefly before he snaps backward, catching only the end of her sentence. He blinks -- “A raise?!”

𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗦. Larry doesn’t have the best opinion on Vincent. He thinks he’s stupid if he’s being honest and he believes Mia could do a whole lot better. He ain’t gonna say all that, though. “I know you don’t really believe that.” Is what he ends up saying and it’s the truth. He can see it written all over her face despite how hard she tries to hide it. “You were the best thing to ever happen to him.”

It’s hard to get his attention-- he can’t seem to focus on them, his eyes darting to the side every chance he got. And whatever he saw was certainly putting him on edge, his shoulders hiked up, his tension obviously. He looked like a rubber band pulled back and ready to snap at any moment.

“--’Scuse me. I canno’ take it anymore--” He suddenly sprints off, subtly growling in his throat as he chased...after a squirrel. Just a little gray squirrel that had been scurrying about in his peripheral. Angus does give it quite a chase, his speed admirable as he nearly grabbed at it’s tail before it scampered up a tree and just out of his reach. “Oi! Stay up there-- ye fluffy rat bastard--”

Angus eventually comes back, pouting and kicking the ground as he walked. “Can’t stand those lil’ shits...can’ eat ‘em anymore ‘cause they’re too high in cholesterol apparently.” He sniffed and scratched at his neck before giving the other a crooked grin, his canines eerily sharp in his mouth. “What were ye sayin’? I didn’t catch it.”

@fivedollrshake​ said: you have beautiful eyes.

HIS SMILE GROWS and holds till his face aches. Completely unintentionally, Vincent bats his eyelashes at her and shoots her a coy look. It’s a compliment he’s gotten before but, right here and now, it means a little more coming from her. “Oh yeah? Well, thank you very much,” he says and holds her gaze for a moment too long before allowing his eyes to falter. The image of her own striking blue eyes indelible in his mind. “You, too, have a pair of the most gorgeous eyes I’ve ever seen, missus Mia Wallace.”

HE STAYS SILENT for a moment, holds his breath, and feels his heart do a funny little jump.

He’d been upset with her when she called him at first. She’d had him worried for such a long time, disappearing like she had. But now she’s callin’ and tellin’ him that she loved him and he isn’t as upset anymore as he thought he’d be...

Vincent opens his mouth and then shuts it again. The silence drags on for a moment longer as he listens intently to her breathing over the line.

He’d been scared she was dead; afraid that he’d never get to see her again or talk to her, tell her all the things he felt deep in his heart.

[ 📞 ] “I -- love you.”

It slips out before he can really think about it and he’s glad for that.

Delft blue - what mistake do you keep making over and over again?

“Oh Jesus..”

“Take your pick. Trusting someone before I’ve got all my ducks in a row? Wearing my heart like a cuff-link with certain people? Going in too deep? Thinking about family and missing them- Damn, see? I’ll just stop the list there.”
