She was sitting in the passenger side of his jeep as they drove out of the city, windows down letting the breeze flow through the car. She shyly slid her hand into his free hand resting on his lap.  He glanced at her with an amused glint in his green eyes, and gently squeeze her hand.  He pulled off to a gravel lot next to a grassy area that overlooked the city.  As soon as he parked the car, she rushed out to crest of the hill and stared down at their small city in the sunset.  She turned back to him, cheeks flushed and a smile on her red lips, heart sped up slightly seeing him leaning against his jeep, a soft look on his face. “Are you gonna just stand there?”  she asked impishly, walking slowly back to him.  “And why would I move when I have a good view from here,” he teased, smirking slightly;  a warmth spread through her at the implications of his words. “Oh really? I try my best. You’re not so bad yourself babe.  but I think you would be a better sight when you are next to me over there,” she purred, hands sliding up his chest and wrapped around his neck.  He let out a deep chuckle before letting her pull him towards the top, only to let out another snort when she brought out her battered brick of a flip phone and snapped a picture of them.  “Don’t make fun of me. For remembrance sakes, you never know when this will end.” she poked him in the side. “Besides, won’t it be nice to have something to remember about this day years from now?”“What about today do you want to remember?” he couldn’t help but be curious about what made today so special to her.“Hmmm, maybe cause I got to spend the day with you.” Warmth flooded her cheeks as she quickly spit the words out. He laughed, finding her flustered reaction endearing. “What makes today different from Monday?  We saw each other Monday.” “Alone, our first actual date. You can’t argue that, that isn’t something worthwhile to remember?” She looked up questioningly at him, trying to gauge his reaction.  This wasn’t her first relationship, but she didn’t think she ever fell for anyone so fast.  Sometimes she didn’t even understand why, he was so grumpy but there were those moments where he was undeniably sweet.  Like now, her heart hammered as he brought her free hand up to his lips and gently brush his lips across her fingertips.  Warmth surge through her.  “Now when you put it that way, I can see where you are coming from,” he teased her warmly.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~They laid in her small bed, limbs entwined around one another, their clothes littered on her floor.  She traced a finger along his bicep as his thumb rubbed soothing circles around her hip and placed soft kisses along her bare shoulder.  In the soft light of dawn filtering in through her curtain, he looked even more breathtaking than usual, tan skin glowing slightly in the  warm rays of the sunrise.  He was looking at her like she held his entire world; her heart swelled with complete adoration for him.  She felt safe, content, and most importantly loved while curled up with him in her too small bed. “I love you,” she blurted out, unable to help herself.. “Is that right, now?”  he asked, smirking. Her eyes narrowed  before jabbing an elbow into his side.“If that is the case, then I don’t love you.”  She made the move of getting out a bed when his arm circled around her waist and pulled her closer.“where do you think you are going?” She shivered, his accent thicker in the early morning.  “Somewhere you are not.”“Is that so?” She felt his lips twitch upwards against her neck.“Uh huh.”She nodded and couldn’t help but shiver when she felt his lips brush lightly along her neck.  “That’s cold Jackie. Yer words break my heart.” She turned around in his hold and faced him.“Poor baby, you shouldn’t have that smirk on your face earlier.”“So cold.  What if I told you I loved you too?” Just as she open her mouth to retort that he was too late, his lips captured hers in a slow kiss, hand cupping her cheek gently.“I maybe love you again,” she breathed when he broke the kiss.     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Some day when you’ll leave me, I bet these memories will follow you around He placed a small bouquet of statice, purple hyacinth, white chrysanthemum and forget-me-nots on the tombstone. Statice and forget-me-nots for remembrance, purple hyacinth and white chrysanthemum for sorrow. Even after all these years her absence left a deep ache in his heart.  Her favorite bunny mug still sat in his kitchen, exactly where she left it.  He is pretty sure that her blue coat still hung in his closet. He wondered why he let himself get attached again. She had wormed her way into his life and entwined hers so tightly around his. And he was happy, even though he knew she would grow old and eventually leave him for death.  He didn’t think he would have to worry about that for years to come.  Then that night came and suddenly he was alone once again, with only a collection of memories of her on the hill in that breathtaking dress, rosy cheeked and smiling at him and the feel of the brush of her lips against his cheek for every hello and see you again soon.    At long last here you go Cheeks. C’est fini.   @vampaster

Aster let out a sharp growl and resisted the urge to slam his fist into Beau’s door in aggravation.  Why in fuck he’d let that stupid phrase leave his lips he’d never know, but it’d happened and this was what he was faced with - a door in his face and the being on the other side refusing to come out.

“Well ya don’t have ta…ya know…do that back!”  Aster grouched, huffing and crossing his arms as he turned and then leaned against the wall behind him.  “And ya don’t have ta fuckin’ hide, either!  Or toss me off the bloody couch!”

In reality, that’d been the some of the reason Beau had gotten into the room in the first place.  That shove off the couch had knocked him on his head, but it was also the shock of Beau’s reaction to his stupidity that made him stall for a moment.  That moment had been all Beau needed to get into the room and get the door closed behind him.

Beau knew he didn’t have to say it back, but what had panicked him was that he wanted to. That and he hates when Aster sees him embarrassed; he wasn’t a child he shouldn’t get flustered so easily. 

“I didn’t mean to push you off the damn couch!” He hissed, trying to get a hold of himself. “And I’m not hiding... I just” He sighed and stepped away from the door. There was no point in pissing off Aster anymore than he had, he should just go out and confront him.

He tried to ignore how much his face burned and took hold of the door handle. He opened the door and looked awkwardly towards the ground. “Now will you stop yelling? I have neighbors.”

[askthemonsterroomies]

“Ya have ta come out at some point!”

Send “You have to come out at some point!” for my muse to lock themselves inside their bedroom and refuse to come out

“I do not!”

Beau leaned against his door and held his burning face in his hands. This was ridiculous and too embarrassing for him to handle. One minute he’s sitting on his couch, sharing a few kisses with that stupid vampire of his and then Aster had to say those words. 

They had froze mid-kiss and Beau had all but shoved Aster away from him. He remembered how Aster looked at him in shock, before Beau had jumped up and ran to his room.

//Both of us have horrible ex's AU - name 5 headcanons.

//hello dawling

1) Both want to kill the ex of the other

2) Somehow Jack and Kimi think Aster and Skadi should pull a ‘John Tucker Must Die’ revenge plot.

3) Both don’t live far from their ex’s and now have to find ways around town so they don’t see them

4) Aster has to work with Skadi’s ex because he’s the landlord of the block where Aster has his gallery.

5) Skadi keeps ‘accidentally’ giving Aster’s ex frostbite on his feet whenever he or she enters the room.

//…how’s that? o.O

Taz drove home, this time more settled and yet more unsettled at the same time. She knew him better now, felt more comfortable with him as a person, even. But what had happened had put her on edge, at the least. She knew it wasn't his fault-- couldn't have been. But it only gave a new reason for her to wonder if it was safe to hang around him. She didn't want to think that for a second. Besides, she knew how to stop it. And he was so exhausted after the whole ordeal, what would he have done without her? Did it happen before? How had he dealt with it then?  Maybe it was safer for him that she was there. She could feel how draining it must have been, when she had controlled the plants through him, herself. It must really have been no surprise he crashed after that. Still, even though he had told her to leave, she felt bad she had to abandon him like that.

When she got home, everything was the same as usual. The house looked unassuming, a few lights left on throughout. The door was unlocked, and she was undisturbed as she made her way in, took her shoes off, and headed upstairs.

And the moment she rounded the corner, there was Rohan in the kitchen, nonchalantly making himself something. He glanced over, raising a brow.

"Hey, you been out partying again?" He joked casually, turning his head to get a good look.

She only made the beginnings of a smile through a tired face, and nodded ironically. "Oh yeah, that's…. what I do." She adjusted her purse on her shoulder, not sure if she should put it down on the table or just carry on and take it with her. Before she had started driving, she had fixed herself up a bit, so her appearance couldn't have been too shocking.

But it was clearly still noticeable. Rohan squinted a bit, tilting his head oddly. "…Ya sure? You sure look a little, ahhh.. tired, there." He leaned his side against the counter, supporting himself with one hand. "Where were ya, exactly?"

"With Aster again." She said casually, shrugging. "He needed my help with something."

She knew what to tell him. There was no need to hide the truth after all.

Well-- half of it, that is.

"What exactly did he have ya doing?" He laughed a bit, raising a brow.

She'd seen most of this coming, frankly. "He..... isn't so good with plants. Magic, I mean. He needed a lot of help, and I've been giving him tips."

He just laughed more after that, predictably. "Well darn hell, how bad is he? You look like you've been doin most the work, to put it blunt! Y' mean t' tell me that a lone pooka wandering around out here can't even use magic properly?" He shook his head as if in amusement and disbelief.

She only made a tired but accepting expression at that, not able to blame him. She'd wondered the same thing, at first. But that was nothing compared to how much she was wondering, by the time Aster's incident had occurred.

"Yeah, it's.... weird, but I have no idea why. Why he can't... get a hold of it very easily. He's doing better, at least."

"Well, it's good t' know you've been able t' help out a pooka astray. Hm?" He smirked a bit.

She just shrugged, shaking her head. "He doesn't seem astray, I mean... He seems to know what he's doing. I can't imagine how-- he still won't tell me why he's out here, or why he feels safe without any powers, but... maybe eventually."

Rohan just nodded, this time actually looking more serious and understanding. "Yeah, he's probably not in a good spot back home. He doesn't sound any safe around here though, the guy probably has somethin' up his sleeve...."

Tahira would normally have dwelled on that last comment more than anything. But the one before it had captured her attention. "He doesn't sound any safe around here though." She simply started down in silence at the floor, arms folded around herself. After a moment, she finally spoke again.

"....Are we any safer, really? I know we are, to some extent at least, but.... how much more, really?" She gave him a look of uncertainty, the silence hanging in the air. She couldn't keep eye-contact for long, lost in thought.

Rohan only looked back, folding his arms for a moment. After a brief stillness, he pushed himself up from the counter.

"Y' know what, hold on a moment. Be back in nothin'."

He left the room, leaving her standing there with her own thoughts. She was glad he didn't seem to care much about her visits, at least. But was the really the case? She could be sure he wanted to know more about Aster, anyway. She couldn't find any legitimate reason not to tell him everything, at that. Yet she felt unsure what his reactions might be-- what could come of it. A pooka gone haywire through faulty magic? Maybe he should know. A pooka with a curse? She couldn't decide. All she could do was wait to learn more, and see how she felt. But what something happened before she could?

Before she knew it, he returned, rolling something around in his hand. When she caught sight of the gleam, she knew what it was.

"Now, here, take a look at this..... y' see when the light shines brighter in the middle like that?"

He walked over, holding a sort of pendant or medallion-like device in his hand. About as wide as his palm, it had rotating pieces inside, and seemed to be constantly working. She tilted her head to see. But before she knew it, he had come close as possible, holding it out in front of them. "You gotta see, right in front of ya, like that....."

He stood behind her and held it up, one arm on either side of her, and leaning in close so he could see at her eye level. He tilted it till he was sure the glow was obvious.

She raised her chin and gazed at it attentively, blinking when the light caught her eye.

"It's... like it's beating..." She spoke softly, never having seen it do that before.

"Mhm. Probably senses your unease." He spoke quieter now, so not to speak too loudly into her ear. "If y' ever feel unsure that it's safe, it'll react, see. Work stronger. Cover yer presence even better."

She looked at it a moment longer, then sighed. "Yeah, I suppose it does." She was silent for a moment. "I.... always thought it worked. Even after I was gone for a while. Like it... rubbed off, and lingered?....."

He closed his eyes and raised his brows. "We wouldn't be safe at this point if it wasn't a charm, no? Yeah, I reckon it's got a few tricks up it's sleeve."

She nodded, and looked down sleepily. She then turned her face to his. He looked back at her, and took the device back in one hand, turning it around and looking at it. "Well, of all the things to get stuck with, good thing it was this, hm?"

She only smiled weakly in response. "Yeah... you know, I.... think I might go to my room now. Been a long day."

He nodded, and gave it another twirl in his fingers before stepping back. "Just let me know if anything feels fishy. I'll get these things goin' and make sure their isn't a snoopy outsider t' be seen."

After that, there wasn't much to be said. He took the device back with him where he got it, and she left for her room. It wasn't long before she pushed the confusions of the day away, in her tiredness.

Rohano however, was still a bit more energetic. He was intrigued to hear the buck didn't even have his magic going for him, for one thing. Though, that only made him wonder more what he was hiding-- why he was out here at all. And the two of them seemed pretty comfortable with each other. Hopefully wouldn't be a problem, in all optimism. More importantly, he knew she wouldn't tell anyone about the device, not with a darn good reason.

As far as he'd seen.

"Taz!" Aster shouted. "Taz! Ah've got a question fer ya that maybe ya can answer!"

"Wh— yeah? What is it?….."

"AH— What are you— Really?" She grinned, trying in vain to fix her hair as if nothing was happening. "Are you just gonna keep that now?"
