Malcolm had dismissed his final class for the day and had stayed behind to pack up his things. It had been a long week and he was very much ready for the weekend. When he had become a man of simple pleasures was beyond him but he did look forward to nights in where he didn’t need to think about work. Gathering up a few books and sheets, he filed them away in his bag before noticing one of his students before him. With a class that big, he ought not to have remembered her name, but she was a more vocal member, recalling her name as Theodora.

“Are you quite alright? I didn’t notice you’d stayed behind, please tell me you don’t have a question that requires me to take all this out again.” His tone light as he gave the young woman a smile as he took off his glasses and placed them in his chest pocket.

it    was    objectively    funny,    that   was    all    there   was    to    it!   you    couldn’t    possibly   blame    her    from   laughing.    eleanor’s    hands   immediately    went    to   cover    her    face   …    as    if   that    in    any    way   was    supposed    to   help    the    eruption   of    laughter    that   she    was    unable   to    stop.    “    you    –    it’s    so   –    “    she   couldn’t    even    get   out    a    full   sentence    as    she   dropped    her    hands   to    look    at   the    other,    “    are  you  sure  you  didn’t  buy  the  extra  small  on  purpose? –oh my  god  ---  why  did  you  order  so  many?! ”

    ever since she met erik she wanted to know more. she contacted her father’s former colleagues and had background checks on the male, had people track his whereabouts, stalked any previous relationships. she waned to know everything about him. there was something about the man that was delectable. maybe it was the mystery of it all--- who was he? she didn’t know. it was what led her to the same bar as him; it wasn’t her usual scene. she preferred high class lounges. bianca ‘accidentally’ collided with him and let out a girlish giggle, feigning innocence as she covered her face. “erik! i didn’t expect to see you here.”  @grrlhoods​

          the fondness in which lou casts upon her is reserved entirely for her and her alone-- god, how long had he been blind to the feelings that he had? he lounges in the garden chair lazily, underneath the vast chestnut tree, finally taking the sunglasses off and peering at her. “you look lovely.” he says it offhand, as though testing the waters to see how this conversation might go.

seeing all the people scrambling outside the building, benjie pales at the lack of belongings on his person. he’d managed to carry a disgruntled four-year-old and a bird cage down more than ten flights of stairs, though, which is pretty much all that matters. he spends the next few minutes trying a story on his daughter on why they’re out and about in the middle of the night, but the number of wailing children he passes by kind of contradicts everything he’d made up. and then she’s crying too. “sssh, we’re gonna be fine, bub.” he presses a kiss to her cheek, holding her close as he tries to squeeze his way out of the crowd. he’s trying hard not to think of finding his whole unit in ashes the next morning or the entire building collapsing, or else he’s going to look like most of these kids pretty soon. seeing no visible signs of fire just yet, he almost wants to go back up and retrieve a couple of things, but the sight of his neighbor stills him for a second. “hey,” a small smile surfaces on his lips as he approaches her --- hopefully a familiar face would appease his little one for now. “look gracie, it’s our friend from next door.”

        things with edith had been fun --- especially because it was a service that willow was paying for. after all, she always wanted to support women in the industry. whether or not it was purely sex related, giving women the power to use their bodies in order to make money? amazing. and willow was all for erasing the stigma... however, it was an expensive service. and right now? all she could afford was netflix. “tonight was really fun,” willow said with a giggle, bundled up as she locked arms with the other walking home from the christmas market they were at. they were almost at her apartment, and willow was happy to make hot chocolate and cuddle --- but she didn’t want to keep this secret for much longer. “not that i expect anything, but... with the new year coming up, i really have to start budgeting. and as much as i loving hanging out with you, i feel bad... ‘cause i really can’t afford it anymore. and i just don’t want you thinking i started seeking someone else, because it’s totally not that!”

     “what? are you going to h u r t me?” miller scoffs. walking towards the other,  heavy boot clad foot steps hitting the floor with each step, his eyes never left imogen. “gonna slap me? punch me? kick me while i’m down?” the twisted idea was perverse, yes, but if she was to indulge him it would make for an interesting evening. @grrlhoods​

inspired by this.

      “i don’t want to need you.” he didn’t want to admit it. he wished he wasn’t strong enough to say it out loud for the first time. but, it was true. he needed her, now more than ever, yet he could not have her. what was the point of all of this? “i don’t want to need you, but i do. bad.”
