@piigtails ♥'ed for a STARTER

▬ So this was meant to be the start of his and his family's new life? Ethan turned his gaze to the dated apartment building's lobby and found it hard to hold back his grimace. Addison Apartments.

It's only temporary, he tried to remind himself. Pushing the button to the elevator, Ethan took a step back to wait. Chris had assured him of that, just a few months here, and the straight to Europe. However, Ethan wasn't sure how he felt about that either. Since leaving Louisiana, it felt like everything was just ... Out of his control.

With a soft ding, Ethan was pulled from his thoughts, eyes turning as heavy doors slid open wide. Quickly, he reached for his pocket, pulling out the small bit of paper with his apartment number on it. Yet, a bright of blue caught his attention, " Oh-! " A still bandaged hand shot out to catch the closing elevator doors, pulling them back ajar for the other, " Hey, sorry about that. Almost let them close on ya. "

“Didn’t you hear? Someone was murdered here.”

"And? Is that supposed to scare me or somethin'?" A look of annoyance is passed towards the other; big whoop, so someone died there - it wasn't anything new to Mickey. He would be more impressed if he was showed a place that didn't have a violent history to its name. "So what happened? Drug deal gone bad? Domestic dispute? Robbery?" The possibilities were endless and once again, nothing new to Mickey.

[ 𝐇𝐔𝐆 ] My muse hugs yours tightly after not having seen them for a while

             It’s been YEARS since Ethan has set foot in the town. Years since the seeing the RUNDOWN building that was ADDISON APARTMETNS. Since Ethan had thought of that small apartment he shared with his wife, while the paperwork for Romania was being sorted out. Rose hadn’t even been born yet, she was only a light conversation between the two. And Sal. The father sighed, thinking of the blue haired boy. It all seems so far away now, not just a whole new life, but a whole new WORLD to the father. One where he was NO LONGER human, yet was he even before?

Hues turned to the door, before glancing over the paper once again. A small hand written note on how to get to Sal’s new home written by LISA. Ethan was happy to know that that was where the woman had ended up, she seemed BRIGHTER and from his quick glance and small talk with Henry, the two seemed HAPPY TOGETHER.

Now that he stood before the house, Ethan felt hesitant. Yet, where else could he go? He TRUSTED the kid and since THE VILLAGE ... Ethan needed this. The TRUST and UNDERSTANDING from the child he had helped raise during his time in apartment 403. Taking a DEEP breath, Ethan knocked on the door. 

“ ... Hey, buddy. “ A weak smile came once the door was pulled AJAR, seeing the younger once again. A boy that had now grown into a MAN, it made emotion grip at Ethan’s throat, “ Long time no see. “ 

A GRUNT came from the fathers chest, as the younger moved to HUG him. One that Ethan was quick to return, holding the boy tight in his arm, “ Look at you. “ He beamed, eyes tearing over and THREATENING to spill, “ You grew up so fast?! “ Ethan chuckled, sniffling lightly as he pulled away. Hands resting on the boys shoulders, the father looked him over, “ Let me see you. “

@piigtails | meme from here | “ sweetheart, you look a little tired. “

        “ tired is an understatement , “ LARRY LAUGHED bitterly as he threw himself on his bed , sprawled out . that’s what he got for barely getting any SLEEP - leaving him sluggish & moody . a couple of FIGHTS almost broke out between him & travis today . if sal & ash weren’t there , he’d be way more EXHAUSTED .

        TODAY WAS just one of those days it seemed . the brunette turned his head , SMILING at sal before moving to make space . “ i know i’ve been a short fuse all day , but you don’t have to sit so far away , “ larry spoke , hinting that he wanted his best friend WITH him .

        “ i couldn’t be mad at you . well - except for you not letting me fucking punch in travis’ teeth - “

“Everything is more fun when you’re around.” - For Larry <3

thats the way i love you | accepting !

        THE CIGARETTE in his mouth was lowered , hanging out the small window of the tree house they sat in . they’d been painting together for almost HOURS now , & larry wanted to take a BREAK . it was hard to keep up his creative energy sometimes . he flicked THE ASH off his cigarette before looking over to sal with a smile . ❝ you really think so ? i figured you’d get bored of me having to smoke every ten minutes , ❞ he joked , but the unfortunate addiction could be ANNOYING .

        SNUFFING IT out on the windowsill , he set it down before making his way over to sal & whatever it is he was working on . ❝ how are you doing so far ? starting to get a hang out of it ? ❞ larry asked , shoving his hands in his pockets as he HOVERED above him .

[Almost kiss] 😏

from close to you meme | accepting !

their hang out was going as it always did - playing video games , rocking out to sanity's fall - but now all of sudden the boy's faces were close . very close . they'd suffered a fall when larry had decided to jump right into sal , a joke of an attempt to mosh . but now there they were , on the ground after sal couldn't catch the surprise weight .

was larry having a bad trip right now ? was he just imagining his hand holding sal's chin , threatening to just push up the mask ? it wouldn't be the first time he'd seen him without it , he could just -

the world around him suddenly unfroze when he realized what he was doing & he scrambled away from his friend . he quickly went to turn down the radio & start digging through his tapes .

" so - uh - i found this band with a similar sound to sanity's fall i thought you might like - " larry spoke , trying to act as if the situation never happened .

@piigtails​ asked;

❛   cook .   present  my  muse  with  home - cooked  food . + Reverse!

     Elbows rested neatly on the tables surface, listening closely as the younger moved about the kitchen. It was just the two of them ... and Gizmo, Ethan stole a glace from the cat that sat OVERLY relaxed on the couch. A WARNING gaze was returned, forcing Ethan to turn back to the kitchen. With Sals father and Mia CONSTATNLY working, the two often found themselves ALONE. It had almost became routine now. Each Friday one or the other would come over, sometimes even Larry or Mia would join. What they did was always different, rather it be watch a movie, order pizza, and apparently now ENJOY Sals cooking. 

“ You sure you’re okay, Sally? I don’t mind to help? “ as he spoke, the boy APPEARED. A small meal placed on the table. Out of instinct Ethan HELPED to arrange the table so that everything may fit, “ This look good! You did a really good job, kiddo. “

          “ CHAOS THEORY. ”  hannibal lets that hang in the air between them for a moment. they both wear a mask to conceal the horror beneath, their true faces deemed unacceptable to the people around them.

          he can offer comfort only in the abstract. sal’s search for understanding will be a lifelong endeavor, and hannibal knows he will find no answers. past tragedy cannot be undone.

          “ our lives are predicated on countless underlying variables. it is not our job to parse them; not even god can do that. if even his knowledge is finite, what hope do we have to ascribe order, or meaning, to the disarray? ”
