Apollo was looking at the other, head resting on one of his hands. They’d walked by him a number of times as he was sipping his milkshake, probably due to things that had nothing to do with him, but it wasn’t like that part mattered. 

“Are you a parking ticket?” he finally called out to them. “’Cause you got fine written all over you.” it was cheesy and really fufcking bad, sure, but sometimes that worked for him.

              heart of fire,  heart of venom;  tell me where did you let them lay you down for death ??  an angel she is not,  yet her face is soft,  eyes big,  & the sweet curve of lips speak volumes.  but she is not her,  she is not the form she takes.  & when eyes meet hers---  as she feels more than just the weight of their stare---  she looks indifferent,  cold,  malevolent.   ❝  move along.  i’m busy.  ❞

              ❝ you are aware there are fifty other benches in this town. ❞ and they chose to take a seat night next to a grumpy dragon. the overcast clouds that hide the sun away practically shouted an invitation for kayden to get out of bed and dare he say seize the day. with nothing to do and absolutely no one to see, he sulked around town, not exactly knowing what he was looking for, growing more and more frustrated by the boring normalcy of this town. the bench became the stop for his smoke break, the addictive cravings once again begging the dragon to indulge.  ❝ i mean, you’re free to stay, i guess. if you’re into the smell of an ashtray...  ❞

  “ it was one seizure,  i’m fine. ”   the dismissal is half - hearted ;  she’s exhausted.  they always seem to take the wind out of her,  and of course the troubling things she sees don’t help her case.   (  she can’t use drugs as an excuse -- she isn’t on any drugs.  there’s no medication to trip out on,  not even recreational,  specifically because of this.  god,  maybe she should be medicated.  at this rate . . .  )   

 vampire fangs.  maybe it was just a bad nightmares.  vampire fangs.  maybe she had been watching too many cheesy movies.  vampire fangs.  it was probably just a badly executed prank.  yeah,  that’s the most probable.   “ work gave me a week or so off,  i got all my homework,  i’m chillin’.  straight chillin’. ”

It had been a relatively calm day at LOVE&JOY, which meant Artemis spent most of her time reading. Her headphones were in, knowing she could’ve very well taken a break and closed the shop if she wanted to, but it just didn’t seem logical. 

She only kind of heard the bell on the door as the other walked in, fixing her posture as she noticed the person at the door.

“Thought you said you’d never step foot in here again?” Her tone was playful, though if she recalled correctly, that had been what she heard.

❝ i never thought i would genuinely miss falling asleep to the constant sound of howling coyotes at night. a noisy boston street isn’t exactly soothing.❞ she thinks back to the bar that she lived above and the people that would hover in front of her building, drunk with no ability to tone it down, ❝ ...yeah, not at all. i would take coyotes any day. ❞

❝ looks are free but besides that can I get you anything to eat or drink ?? our chocolate milkshakes are addicting just a warning. ❞

was ten months a little young to be walking? maybe, but esther was doing it anyway. she wasn’t great, of course not, but she was doing her best. shiloh’s taken her to the park and is sitting in the grass with her as she toddles around and coos softly. before they can stop her, she makes her way over to another person in the park and looks up at them expectantly. “sorry about that,” shiloh says, hurrying over and scooping their daughter into their arms. “she’s a friendly one.”
