The relief he feels was instantaneous and the tension that had started to build up falls away. He grins at her, using his free hand to push some of her hair behind her ears. “You did?” he asks, delighted that he wasn’t the only one feeling this way. He had thought maybe she felt the same way before, but now it was confirmed and Frankie feels like he’s on top of the world. His smile shifts into a smirk. “Any time?” he asks. “What about when you’re mad at me. Can I kiss you then? It might make you less mad at me,” he teases.

She nods at his question. “Honestly, I’m surprised you never picked up on it. I worried I was bein’ obvious so many times,” she admits quietly. Now she feels silly for ever worrying at all, but maybe it was supposed to be this way. Maybe they needed to wait until now so they can work. Ri laughs at his teasing, giving his hand a light shake. “Even then, but maybe only at the beginning. That little trick might not work as well down the line,” she teases back with a wink.

He grins widely at that. “Yeah? I made that good of an impression?” he asks, maybe more eagerly than he intended to. “What about Tuesday? We could get dinner a little earlier and then maybe go for a walk before it gets too dark?” he suggest. If he asks about a day early enough in the week, maybe he can weasel in a third date before the weekend.

Quinn grins, delighted that he wants to go another date so soon. Sometimes she worries she comes on too strong, but it seems like that won’t scare him away at all. “That sounds perfect! There’s a little Italian place a few blocks from my apartment, they open earlier than a lot of other places for dinner if we want to go there? And it’s near a park! So it’s, like, double perfect.”

Ri’s brain feels like it’s stalled out when she feels Frankie pull her in and kiss her. It’s like she’s frozen, too shocked to do anything. Because Frankie Finnegan is kissing her. Finally. After years of being the neighborhood’s personal will-they-won’t-they story, he’s made a move. She registers that he’s talking, saying something about really only meaning to walk her home but something just came over him, and it’s all she can do to just stare at him in shock. “You kissed me,” she says before chuckling, not unkindly but in surprise. “You actually kissed me,” she adds, grinning up at him.

The laughter was a little unexpected but the somewhat dazed look on her face was even more so. “I did,” he agrees, nodding. “Uh… was that.. I mean are we…” Frankie pauses. He clears his throat and looks down at his shoes before looking back up at her hopefully. “That was okay right? I probably should have asked first, but, well. I just… really wanted to kiss you. I have for a while now,” he admits, giving her a soft smile. 

[theoconnorclanmoved]

“Yeah, it was okay. It was better than okay. It was great,” she answers, smiling up at him like he hung the moon. “I’m happy you kissed me. I’ve wanted to kiss you for a while now, too,” she assures him, reaching over to take his hand in hers. She doesn’t want him to worry or question where they stand, not when she thinks things are the best they’ve ever been between them now. “And for the record, you can totally do that whenever you want in the future.”

Quinn eagerly returns Logan’s kiss, her hands resting gently on his hips. When she pulls away from the kiss, she grins brightly at him. “So I guess this means we’re good to go for the second date?”

Logan has to laugh at that, his hands still gently cupping her face. “I mean, count me in for a third and fourth already,” he tells her. He steals another quick kiss before reluctantly letting her go. “I really did have fun tonight. And I’d like to go out again soon. You free any night this week?” he asks.

[theoconnorclanmoved]

Before she can respond, he’s kissing her again. She really can’t believe how perfect this night has been and she’s happy that he feels the same way. “I have a family dinner tomorrow, but I’m pretty open otherwise. And I’m more than willing to pencil you in for as many nights as you want,” she answers. She wants him to know that she’s just as excited as he is.

“fucking obviously,” she groaned, running her hands through her hair. she took a seat, leg bouncing as she did. she nodded as he spoke, knowing it was true and feeling overwhelmed by all of it. “no we didn’t. and speaking of that, i don’t think we could stay here if we do this. she’ll find me here and i can’t, i won’t let any kid i have grow up in the life or that fuckin’ family. so we’d have to move. we’d have to get clean and move and find jobs in less than a year.” she needed to plan, to see what needed to be done before she decided if she could do it.

he wasn’t high, but he most definitely wanted to be. he wasn’t really emotionally equipped for something like this. but he was good at planning. he drummed his fingers against his thigh, taking a moment to think it over. “i… can get rehab covered for us both, if we… if we do that.” well, he couldn’t. but kai could. and would, without hesitation. “but i don’t have access to my family’s money anymore and even if i did, i’d want to stay the fuck away from them. so that’s… a challenge. moving is doable. jobs are… trickier. i’m… a really good thief these days, ri. i don’t know if i know how to do the 9 to 5 bullshit. but i know that’s not really steady, stable work or safe. but we can… cross that bridge when we come to it, i guess.”

[theoconnorclanmoved]

“i have some money stashed away. not a lot. like, maybe enough for a deposit on a place if the place is cheap,” she said it quietly, rubbing her thumb along the palm of her opposite hand. “it doesn’t have to be a 9 to 5…it just has to be better, you know? the kid would deserve parents who aren’t criminals.” even her dad, who was infinitely better than the woman she occasionally recognized as her mother, was nowhere near the parent he could’ve been if he’d had a legitimate job. she felt better. still scared, but in a more manageable way. “i hate and i mean hate to say this, but i could probably ask murphy for some extra cash too. he’d help me get out. and he wouldn’t tell the others.”

theoconnorclan​:

“i’m not saying to blame him. i’m just pointing out that it’s not an ideal living situation for a baby who will then be a toddler who will get into things because it’s what they do.” she took a deep breath, though it didn’t do much to calm her down. “the other options are just as scary. and there’s a million things to think about first. like do you even want to get clean? or be a dad? you don’t want to try and force me, but i don’t want to force you.”

“even if robin didn’t live there, i couldn’t babyproof an entire warehouse.” he liked living there. it had been good for him, a much needed project, and now it was something of a sanctuary. but he could do it again, start somewhere else. “do i want to get clean? fucking no. it’s the worst. do i want to be clean? yeah. and i’m not exactly good at self-motivation, if you haven’t noticed.” he hadn’t even chosen to get clean the first time around. but he had chosen to stay clean and that was what mattered, wasn’t it? “i… don’t know. if i’m being honest, i didn’t really think i’d get the chance. i like kids, but it’s not exactly like either of us have stellar parental role models.”

[theoconnorclanmoved]

“fucking obviously,” she groaned, running her hands through her hair. she took a seat, leg bouncing as she did. she nodded as he spoke, knowing it was true and feeling overwhelmed by all of it. “no we didn’t. and speaking of that, i don’t think we could stay here if we do this. she’ll find me here and i can’t, i won’t let any kid i have grow up in the life or that fuckin’ family. so we’d have to move. we’d have to get clean and move and find jobs in less than a year.” she needed to plan, to see what needed to be done before she decided if she could do it.

“how is this not going to be? we’re complete disasters. how can we take care of a whole fucking kid? how…how do we both stay clean and raise a kid when you live in a fucking warehouse, with another addict, and the only job i’ve ever had is being a dealer? i don’t know what i want to do, i’m, i don’t even know. i’m fucking freaked out.”

“i can get clean again. it’ll fucking suck, but i can do it. i was clean for years and it’s not… robin’s a good kid. i don’t blame him.” that’s kit’s own fuck up. robin made it easier, but even without his roommate, he would’ve relapsed. he wasn’t exactly in the mindset to stay sober that day. “we do it one step at a time. or we think about the other options. there’s adoption, too.”

[theoconnorclanmoved]

“i’m not saying to blame him. i’m just pointing out that it’s not an ideal living situation for a baby who will then be a toddler who will get into things because it’s what they do.” she took a deep breath, though it didn’t do much to calm her down. “the other options are just as scary. and there’s a million things to think about first. like do you even want to get clean? or be a dad? you don’t want to try and force me, but i don’t want to force you.”

theoconnorclan​:

“no, kit, i don’t think we fucking will. this is, this is a fuckin’ disaster.”

“it doesn’t have to be. you don’t… like, i’m not gonna be that asshole who insists you keep it if you don’t want to. and if you do want to, we’ll fucking figure it out. it doesn’t have to be a complete disaster.”

[theoconnorclanmoved]

“how is this not going to be? we’re complete disasters. how can we take care of a whole fucking kid? how…how do we both stay clean and raise a kid when you live in a fucking warehouse, with another addict, and the only job i’ve ever had is being a dealer? i don’t know what i want to do, i’m, i don’t even know. i’m fucking freaked out.”

little quiet starter call for one of these kids.

[pettythieveswithpotential]

@heartfullofxfright for any muse/any blog!

“we’ll figure it out, okay?”

[theoconnorclanmoved]

“no, kit, i don’t think we fucking will. this is, this is a fuckin’ disaster.”

[theoconnorclanmoved]

@babyitsmagic​ said  “ don’t ever let anyone make you doubt your worth. ” okay but also some parent feels parker @ quinn????

“It’s not…I know my worth, it’s,” she sighs. It’s hard enough going through this, but it’s even harder to try and make her dad understand. “It’s discouraging that they don’t see it, too. Like I know, but they’re obviously not getting it…or I’m coming across wrong, I don’t know”

[babyitsmagic]

“…not everyone’s always going to see it. Which… sucks. Definitely sucks. But there are always gonna be people who doubt your value. It doesn’t make you any less valuable. You just have to find the right people. The ones who know exactly how amazing you are.” Did that make sense? He hopes it did. He still feels like he’s figuring this whole thing out every day. But he keeps trying. He’s never gonna stop trying for her and Brighid.

[theoconnorclanmoved]

“I know you’re right, but I hate that you’re right because it’s hard.” She sighs, running her hand through her hair. “Sorry that was really whiny, I’m just upset about the whole situation. It’s like a huge disappointment. I really wanted to get into the program and I know the other people who got in are also talented. It’s just frustrating because I thought they’d see I was talented and let me in.”
