“I NEVER said you weren’t.” She swiftly replies with a scrunch of her face. It was only a teasing statement. Angélique simply is not used to such public display of affections. By no means is she a prude or chaste, perhaps the best way to describe her is shy even with him. “Oh, how can you be so certain? They barely know me,” she counters with a soft laugh. “And what about your friends?”

"Because I KNOW my family," Davey says, and there's no uncertainty to his words. Even if they wouldn't have liked her, it would have not changed his feelings, but it helps to know that they adore Ange as much as he does. "And my friends will love you as much, seriously, how could anyone NOT love you?"

mayhap you could draw the infamous 92sies tie pull?

There is no heterosexual explanation for that scene. Absolutely none 😭

[frxncaise]

Perhaps, this is the furthest SHORT holiday she has ever taken. Undergoing such effort would not have occurred under normal circumstances. In fact, this anything but ordinary: Angélique Leclair has flown across the ocean with the sole goal to see her soulmate. The word still felt foreign on her tongue, especially when she did not say so around her family. For all they know, she is visiting a very good friend.

After being on a flight for a little more than eight hours, exhaustion has settled into her bones. However, she is SPARKED back to life upon setting sight on him. Even with the cap, it is impossible for her to miss him. Perhaps, it is part of the whole soulmate ordeal or sheer luck. Either way, it is undeniably him. Her pace begins to quicken as she moves towards him.

“Hello, darling. Sorry for the wait.”

[thewalkingmouthdavey]

It's VERY UNLIKELY that anyone here recognizes them, her even less than him ( and Davey has calculated the odds ) so he allows himself to wrap his arms around her once she has closed the distance between them, taking in the familiar warmth of her arms and her scent. It sends his heart beating faster in his chest, simply being this close to her, and even if he had doubted soulmate connected before, he wouldn't do so now.

"No need to apologize." He then says, pulling back with a smile. "I didn't wait long at all," he holds out the bouquet for her then, his smile softening. "How was your flight?"

the tortured poets department: the anthology sentence starters.

i just don't understand how you don't miss me.

i may never open up the way i did for you.

do you hate me?

you knew the price goin' in.

i can tell when somebody still wants me.

whether i'm gonna curse you out or take you back to my house, i haven't decided yet.

you were never not mine.

even if it's handcuffed, i'm leaving here with you.

we broke all the pieces but still want to play the game.

told my friends i hate you, but i love you just the same.

pick your poison, babe. i'm poison either way.

they tried to warn you about me.

you're in terrible danger.

i tried to warn you about them.

if you want to break my cold, cold heart, just say "i loved you the way that you were."

you said some things that i can't unabsorb.

you needed me, but you needed drugs more.

if you want to tear my world apart, say you'll always wonder.

will i always wonder?

i can't pretend like i understand.

how did it end?

it's happening again.

tell me 'bout the first time you saw me.

are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?

no one's ever had me, not like you.

tell me something awful.

tell me all your secrets.

i don't believe in good luck now that i know what's what.

seems like it was never even fun back then.

i'm lonely, but i'm good.

i'm bitter, but i swear i'm fine.

this place made me feel worthless.

i can't forgive the way you made me feel.

there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you.

maybe you've reframed it and in your mind you didn't beat my spirit black and blue.

i don't think you've changed much.

everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman but she used to say she wished that you were dead.

does it feel alright to not know me?

i'm addicted to the "if only."

i guess a lesser woman would've lost hope.

i don't want money. i just want someone who wants my company.

do you believe me now?

they say what doesn't kill you makes you aware. what happens if it becomes who you are?

is it something i did?

i thought it was just goodbye for now.

you said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me.

life was always easier on you than it was on me.

i didn't want to hang around.

we must stop meeting like this.

you are bloodthirsty.

you have no room in your dreams for regrets.

i'm not a donor but i'd give you my heart if you needed it.

the story isn't mine anymore.

Introducing your boyfriend to your twin sister who is mean to you 😔

[ur-daily-inspiration]

[frxncaise]

Ever since she was five, it has ONLY been her father and her. The closest maternal figure in her life was her governess who had grown to be family by the end of her adolescence. As much as she adores her papa, there is a sense of loneliness that overcomes her at times.

“I wouldn’t dare to say anything false,” Angélique insists with a smile. A small gasp leaves her when he draws her towards him. “Oh shush, you’re going to get us caught.” She gently chides, only to reciprocate the gesture.

"What, I am not allowed to KISS my girlfriend?" He asks, one eyebrow raised, though his face quickly changes into a soft expression, lips curved into a smile. Especially when Angel kisses him back so quickly. "I do mean it though," he finally tells her, brushing their noses together. "They like you, and that's all that matters. Anything else? We can work that out,"

“I’m pretty sure his record is four, last time I checked. One sittin’ on his shoulders, one on his back, and one in each arm. That’s how he corralled 'em last time he tried it out. Though they’s gettin’ a little taller now, so it might be trickier…”

Well, the twins are getting taller, anyway. Splasher is still resolutely pretty tiny, which is good for selling, and his appetite is strong enough so Race isn’t too worried. He still sneaks some of his food to the kid though, just in case. He’s got most of his growing done after all, Splasher’s still got plenty to do, same with Mike and Ike and Henry.

"That sounds HORRIBLE for his back, to be honest." Though Davey can't quite keep the smile off his face as he tries to image the whole thing happening. "Maybe they could join the circus for a guest performance with it, though." Which is definitely an interesting thought as well. "But yes, just be careful for a couple of days, rest the injured part and you'll be as good as new soon enough,"

The holiday season would not be complete without the young lovers ending up under the mistletoe at some point. Being Buddhist, none of her religious events occurred during this time of year. Thus, she has celebrated a secular form of Christmas ever since she could recall. Angélique has grown fonder of such events, now that she knows their friends and Davey amongst all others. It would perhaps be cliche to say that holidays with a loved one cannot be beat.

[thewalkingmouthdavey]

"I take that as a NO?" He chuckles, reaching up to brush a strand of hair behind her ear, a motion that had become so familiar to him it's as easy as breathing, really. "I suppose we should kiss, just to heed the tradition." His lips are curved into a smile as he leans in to brush their lips together then, a short and sweet kiss, not nevertheless filled with love and adoration.
