‘ i’m not sorry for myself or any part of me . ’ / the gg's
it’s only natural that he offers this sentiment with bloodied knuckles, a consequence of how they gained entry into the bar —– old history with the bouncer, she assumed, though knowing gio, it could’ve been on pure whim. that was the thing about him, she never quite knew what to expect … and whether that was exhausting or endearing, it was never once boring. ( does he think she judges him ? like she holds any merit to do so. ) she just wanted to take him on a night out in her world for once, but the success rate for that isn’t looking too hot.
the lounge is sleek and moody, everyone seems to be air kissing each other or kissing ass in general —– and graciela realizes that this isn’t her scene anymore. these people had connections and access, but would they protect her like he has ? would they make her laugh ? would they take care of her in dark corners with whispered assurance ? a smile slowly creeps upon her lips while a gentle hand curls at his wrist. ‘ i don’t want you to be, ’ she murmurs, huddling closer and pressing her forehead to his shoulder with reluctant submission ; not to him, exactly, but to this. ‘ weirdly enough, i think i like you exactly as you are. ’

‘ someday you’ll be glad i made this decision. ’ // christian & phoebe !
he knows better than to expect a screaming match or to gain any sort of rise from phoebe ; to exert herself on behalf of another simply isn’t in her nature. she watches him, though, and feels a shift in her trust, something not easily won by the intangible creature. whether his act of kindness was disguised as cruelty or vice versa, he still hurt her and knew exactly what he was doing.
‘ because everyone loves having decisions made on their behalf, right ? ’ her cadence is cool and level, void of the purring affection she’d lavished upon each syllable just a few nights prior. that’s how quickly the tides could shift between them, why phoebe refused to genuinely let christian woodley in.
‘ you can go now. ’ there is no suggestion in her words, simply a thinly veiled demand punctuated by an icy stare. ‘ and don’t come back. ’
‘ every time i look back, all the good stuff was with you. ’ // clara & lucy :]
it takes a miraculous amount of strength not to immediately react —– her gaze flickers down to clara’s lips, the temptation fraying her nerves and short - circuiting her senses. they can’t do that here, where intrusive cameras long to capture every facial reaction and involuntary response during the obligatory reunion show. the damn contract is the only reason lucy’s even here, but this stolen moment with the only person who made this experience worth a damn, safe behind closed doors while the audience waits, makes her realize that she never wants to go this long without her again.
if only things could be that simple.
‘ yeah —- it was only good because of you. ’ her voice is soft, broken, and the feels the plaguing sting of tears threatening hazel hues. she lifts her head slowly, offering a strained smile that does little to console either party of their current standing. ‘ … ——- but now you’ve gotta go out there and be in love with him, right ? ’ that’s how the show goes on.
‘ i’m not a solution to your problems. i’m another problem. ’ // gg's
a ragged sigh pulls from her chest, emerald hues lifting upwards as she thought, for a moment, they could actually enjoy a relatively normal day out —– that’s her first rookie movie, as things with gio are never liable to fall under the blanket of normal or stable in any sort of way. ( which is usually what she likes most about him. )
‘ all the times you’ve been chased after, shot at, threatened, provoked to start a fight … think hard on who the common denominator was during all of those. ’ a grin dimples her cheeks, eyes alight as she gestures to her svelte frame, ‘ —— me ! ’ it’s a proud declaration to cause just as much chaos & strife as the mob’s biggest wildcard.
‘ maybe you ought to consider who’s really the problem here. ’ a pause, ‘til she bounces on her feet and shifts to face him head on, despite his towering size, ‘ or accept the fact that we both fuckin’ are. that’s why we’re out here, no ? ’
