THERE were two sorts of people: those who couldn’t get close enough to him and those too terrified to come within a twenty foot radius, and the young businessman was unsure as to which he preferred. currently, it was the latter that prevailed if the empty seats next to him were any sign as the train sped and slowed along its underground track. it isn’t horrible, after all hardly anyone looks at anyone on the subway. but still, it’s as if he’s infected with the plague.
NOT the plague, perhaps, but his father’s security guards. he can see one now if he tops forward just the tiniest bit, blue eyes catching the glimpse of a dark-suited, dark-sunglasses man at the other end of the car. of course. take the subway to avoid his father after the meeting and he’d still tailed. a tiny sigh escapes as he sits back once more, the faint sound lost in the commotion as the train jolts to a stop, a dozen pattering feet moving as passengers jostle on and jostle off just as they have the past three stops.

LOVE/SEXUALITY headcanon.
as i’m sure y’all have seen, the eye-boggling rabbit hole that is margarethe’s romantic and sexual orientations is a fave of mine to talk about. honestly, the deeper i excavate there, the more mysterious things become.
this was going to be another long, deep headcanon about margarethe’s sexuality, but honestly, i was dissatisfied with every single word i wrote, and i can summarize it in essentially two sentences: while margarethe’s fantasy sexual life tends to involve muscular hunks, she is way, way more likely to actually put out for men with $$$$$$$$$$. in theory, she would sleep with men or women (she’s not familiar with non-binary gender identities), but again, in practice, things are different: women in her world aren’t a financial resource the way men are.
“Ella?!”
He ran through the hospital, down the cardiac ward and around to the E.R. She wasn’t in the waiting room or any of the adjoining rooms to the E.R.
“Sir-” a nurse protested as he rounded the corner, “sir, you can’t be in here right now.”
“I have to see her!”
“The young woman who was just brought in is currently in surgery. We’ll let you know when she’s ready for visitors.”
Kit waited in the waiting room. He wished his father was here to keep his company and ebb his worries. He rested his elbows on his knees, hands pressed together like a prayer. The paparazzi stayed outside the hospital, but weren’t permitted to come inside.
Finally a nurse called his name. He glanced up, before bolting from his chair with such force that it almost toppled over. The young, tired looking woman led him down two hallways before presenting a room. It felt like his chest was caving in when he saw her there, so pale and motionless on the bed. The quiet beeping of the monitors reminded him she was alive. Her eyelashes brushed against her cheeks like butterfly wings. “El ” he choked on her name, clearing his throat and taking her hand. “Darling...can you hear me?”
I want to tell you a secret that will follow you through all the trials life will offer.
“And what might that be, my dear Ella?”
"Sssh...he's sleeping."
Kit’s own hand clamps over his mouth; he relaxes as it becomes clear that the child’s stirring will have no consequence. Their precious boy has been sleeping many hours, and yet his mother still stands vigil by his bedside; she has been worried about him since these terrible nightmares have begun. “What worries you, my love?” he questions, although he already knows the answer.
You have found my weakness, but I have yet to learn yours. (lol IC)
“I have many weaknesses. Beginning here.” A tap of the nose; he will follow his fingertip with his lips, dropping a careful kiss on her sweet button nose. “But you mustn’t let my advisers know I’ve a weak spot.”
