@shiftergene said, ❛❛ what's on your mind? ❜❜

there's  no  skyline  tonight.  he's  lower,  closer  to  his  ordinary  beginnings,  and  peter's  legs  dangle  over  the  edge  of  an  old,  brick  building.  a  place  that  sits  by  the  pier  and  smells  of  rust  and  salt.  the  weathered  warehouse  is  definitely  off-limits  but  there's  never been surveillance or a need for a great escape.  peter  considers  the  question  while  he  stares  out  at  the  water,  the  pylons  and  the  driftwood  golden  in  the  last  of  the  day's  light.  it  makes  him  ache,  and  the  ache  is  blue,  when  he  thinks  of  what  he  keeps  quiet  to  keep  this  soft.  he  has  a  responsibility  to  this  city  and  he  also  has  a  responsibility  to  his  friend.  to  shield  him  from  the  additional  stressors  that  come  with  the  knowledge  of  what  he  does  when  the  sun  wanes  and  the  darkness  creeps.  still,  it's  far  from  simple  to  be  careful  with  his  words  when  he  turns  his  head  to  look  at  arthur  now,  who  glows  with  genuineness  and  melting  care.  there's  a  trembling  moment,  a  bolt  of  a  thought  that  motivates  him  to  believe  in  arthur,  [  and  he  does,  he's  had  complete  faith  in  him  since  the  day  they  met,  he's  a  good  proton!  ]  but  then  he  vanishes  again,  into  the  comforting  light  of  playfulness  and  humor. 

❛❛ i'm  going  to  have  ten  bucks  to  my  name  when  i  pay  rent  tomorrow.  and  then  i  thought:  woah,  that  would  be  scary  to  a  lot  of  people.  i'm  not  stressed,  though.  that's  kind  of  funny.  i'm  so  used  to  being  broke.  i'm,  like…  good  at  it. ❜❜

"where you headed?"

sometimes life seems supernatural / @shiftergene

"to go and find lauren. someone has to. and her parents are woefully unequipped to do so."

"i was about to come and find you, actually. i need a ride." a beat and then: "an actual ride, arthur." though she wouldn't be opposed to it's secondary definition, either. after they've found lauren, of course.

[floripire]

"i want to thank you. for everything."

sometimes life seems supernatural / @shiftergene

"---you're welcome, arthur," she winks. all in a day's hard work, right?

right when she's about to say something else, reed strucker calls her away. before flori turns to leave, she smiles at him. if you really want to thank me, well, i wouldn't be opposed to you taking me for a drive in that car of yours.

it's up to him to figure out the meaning of the sentence.

that's okay, though - he's got enough time.
