" Why did the coffee file a police report? Because it was mugged. " put her back in the lab
Leon turns in his office chair to angle himself towards Alena. She gets his full attention and a thoughtful hum. His lips suddenly kick up. "Hah!" He flips his pen and taps it in the air. "I'm stealing that one." If she returns to the lab now, she'll probably have a shadow in the form of a field agent who will abandon his deskwork for any reason whatsoever.
"What gave it away!?" He gasps like it's been some well kept secret, his hands sliding to rest in the curve of her hips as he looks down into her eyes. "You can just see right through me"
closed starter for @sacredpyre, since I had a “bad” idea
Sebastian sat next to Adrian, the two men overlapping in their time off as they awaited their shared lover — Alena. Eventually, Adrian’s one hand cupped Sebastian’s cheek, the other undoing the buttons and zipper of Sebastian’s slacks, palming the taller man’s increasing bulge and admiring the size in a side comment that Sebastian barely heard. “Let’s see who can get the other to finish first, to prepare us for a few romps in the hay with Alena,” Adrian suggested after breaking the breathtaking kiss, hand now wrapped around Sebastian’s member.
“Fine, winner gets to kiss her hello first,” Sebastian retorted, caring the most about Alena’s needs and satisfaction rather than his own or Adrian’s. He leaned over, letting Adrian keep his hand on him, and freed Adrian’s own cock from his pants and began flicking his tongue over its tip, keeping eye contact with an increasingly flustered Adrian. “You like me,” Sebastian challenged, “and my mouth more than you ever admit.”
"I know." Harry said softly, "I mean you're not really subtle about it- but I appreciate it. I'm not very good at subtle, you know? And ... I care about you too. I hope I'm at least okay at showing it."
Pleasantly surprised by the greeting and its well meaning intentions, Lilia was momentarily taken aback even as a smile touched her lips.
"Thank you. It's been a long time since I danced around a maypole or jumped over a fire, but I have to admit it's still one of my favourite seasons."
Warmer weather, the longer days, colours and sounds of life and nature. Everything just felt that little bit more like Sicily. The Sicily she remembered anyway.
Send ৻ꪆ For One Trauma My Muse Has And How They Cope/Don't Cope With It In Their Everyday Life
The trauma: Her alcoholic abusive father
How she does/doesn't cope with it:
She absolutely doesn't cope with it at all. But it prepared her for a lot of her interactions with Klaus. Having to stare down an angry man that wants to hurt you? Oh absolutely. Her father was her FIRST bully he taught her how to put on that brave face. It's why she tries to offer Klaus "A drink" in one of the season 2 episodes where she's his prisoner. It's because she learned from childhood distracting with a drink helps.
Katherine has ALSO picked up drinking, which she didn't do much of as a human, just wine here and there but not much. It wasn't till her vampirism that she started loving the drink. Mostly because her tolerance was insane and it was almost impossible for her to actually lose control. Unfortunately by the time she became human again alcohol had become such a normal thing for her after 500 years she no longer cared and started leaning on it as a crutch to numb the pain of her reality.
There's an appreciation given it's something him and Mells did as children--knows for a fact she still does. Alena is obviously thought of in a similar vein. Watching out for his well-being. "You know I probably need this more than I realize."
A pause as he chuckles.
"What with all the bad mojo I attract with the stupid shite I do."
Experienced or reckless? Those were her only options? The magic that flowed through the brunette hummed beneath Morfydd's skin, like an animal purring.
"Perhaps I'm a bit of both." The dark haired Asgardian smiled, eyes flickering over the blonde.
