You should totally do number 2 with Lex (abd maybe Hannah) Foster……….
2 - this was a mistake - ask game !! - ao3 post !!
Lex pulled into the parking lot of a small hotel, killing the engine of his rundown car. he glanced at the rearview mirror, silently thanking whatever gods might exist that Hannah seemed to have fallen asleep. sighing under his breath, he leaned forward to rest his head on the top of the steering wheel, shutting his eyes as tight as he could to fight back the tears that threatened to form.
"this was a mistake," he whispered to himself, hands slipping from the steering wheel and landing in his lap. four hotels in one week, countless others since they'd been on the run, not trusting anyone enough to have more conversation than a passing 'hello, i need a room.' it had been so completely exhausting, and they were only halfway to their final destination. the indirect route they had opted for to hopefully shake off anyone following them had taken... longer than they'd hoped for.
the streetlamp he'd parked beside flickered twice, and a hand landed on his shoulder, causing him to jump and whirl around to face... Hannah. she'd woken up, a concerned look on her face as she rubbed her eyes.
"Lexi..? you alright?" she mumbled, words slurred from sleep. he smiled at her, trying to wipe the sadness from his eyes, and nodded. he was doing this for her. to keep her safe. as long as nothing could hurt her, he could do anything.
