If anyone were to recognize the hope emblem it would be Felix, lucky for Jonsey, the boy is kind of gullible

2025 <- 2022

I learned how to draw old people. This is Ender, a very old tow captain of mine who honestly would have thrived in the newest game with the psychopath trait and Aza… it’s probably for the best he wound up in Halcyon as it tempered him A LOT

OC Kiss: Dare (Rae/Seth, The Outer Worlds)

"You ever feel like your life could do with some excitement?'

"Not really, but if you're that keen for it, you could always swap labels on the doctors' lunches and enjoy the show."

"No thanks. Some of us don't have board member parents to smooth things over so we don't get fired for 'disrupting the workplace' or 'inhibiting production' and I can't afford to lose this job."

"Oh, fine. If professional life is off limits... I dare you to kiss your new boyfriend. That'll get you some excitement."

"Vy!"

"You haven't kissed yet, right?"

"Well, no, but we're going slow for a reason-"

"There's taking it slow and there's stringing you along, and at what, eight months? he's pushing it, Rae."

Despite redirecting the conversation--and Vylette's attention--to the test swabs they were collecting, Rae couldn't shake the words from circling her thoughts the rest of the day. They distracted her clear into the evening and led to Seth nudging her shoulder halfway though their dinner date. (Takeaway eaten picnic style on her living room floor because the diner was closed today and her table was still wobbly.)

"Air control to Dr. Winters, how's the view up in the clouds?" he teased, slurping a bite of noodles.

"Sorry." Rae rolled her eyes. "Though doctor's a long way off, y'know. I have a few years before I'm even eligible for any sort of promotion, I might make medical assistant inside the decade if I'm lu-"

"It was a joke, Rae," he said with a laugh, squeezing her knee. "You looked like something was buggin' you."

"Oh." She rubbed the back of her neck and debated if it was worth trying to brush off. "Just something Vy said at work, won't go away no matter how hard I try."

Seth twirled up another bite of noodles. "Anything you want to share? Would that help?"

Rae sighed, poked at the noodles and vegetables in her own bowl. "Thinks it's her job to commentate my love life."

He arched a brow. "Uh-oh. Should I be worried?"

She shook her head. "I disagree with her opinion. She dared me to kiss you, thinks we're moving too slow--but I know you don't wanna rush b'cause of Tenille" --a faint eye twitch when she mentioned his ex further steeled her resolve--"and I'm fine with the pace we're going, I promise." The words spilled in a rush as she scooted closer, legs half over his, grabbing his hand when he started to suck the inside of his cheek. "Seth. Seth, I really am." She liked him a lot, maybe even loved him, the last thing she wanted was to make him feel this, he, wasn't enough for her. "I shouldn't have said."

"I asked," Seth deadpanned. "And... maybe she's not wrong." He rubbed his beard.

"Hey, I'm not sure 'too slow' is a thing," Rae protested. "Vy doesn't know you, barely knows me, I didn't wanna give out sordid details about your jackass ex."

"And maybe she's still right," he said, tugging Rae's legs more deliberately across his lap to move them closer. "Maybe... maybe I'm hiding from something that's not a threat." He traced one thumb down her jaw. "Maybe you should kiss me."

She bit her lip at the touch, but, "Don't rush because of something a work friend said-"

He rested two fingers against her lips. "I'm not. I'm okay with this, Rae. Are you?"

Rae nodded. She'd been wanting to kiss him for weeks, but not as badly as she wanted him to be comfortable with it when it happened. "My breath smells like lo mein," she warned, wiggling closer.

"Eh, so does mine," Seth countered, eyes twinkling. "It's the perfect time. If you dare."

"Are you su-"

He kissed her, arm around her waist, hand cupping her jaw. "Absolutely," he murmured when he pulled back to breathe. "I think I'm safe with you."

The soft words made her heart dance and Rae grinned. "Then I dare you to do that again," she teased, and then smiled wide into it when he did.
