Diamonds in the Rough

This blog is home to a few canons but also to many OCs and OCs inspired by canonic tales. Everyone's out here trying to do the best with what they have. They're trying to turn a grain of sand into a diamond, but will they? Everyone craves diamonds and gold whether they mean it literally or not. To each person (and character), diamonds and gold are what make their lives worth living and their struggles worth fighting. Get to know each muse to see where their values lie. Some muses will be harder to open up, but they're all worth it even if they don't see it. These are my characters, and I hope your characters become a very important part of their stories and vice vera. Let's make our own diamonds and gold in these fictional universes where anything can happen. Go out there take [the world] on, and turn a grain of sand into a diamond.

When he said it was all new to him too she was able to take a deep relaxing breath and feel less on edge. “Yeah,” she scoffed and shook her head. Monica moved back to sit at the table and chuckled a little. “I’m lucky to live around really good places that deliver,” she tilted her head to the side, “You really don’t ever want me to cook.” Monica paused. “Do you want a drink?” Maybe that could help them box relax a little more. 

Although Tommy was traditional and preferred a woman who cooked, he also loved restaurant food just as much. He could cook himself, but he didn’t enjoy it. “I do’t want me to cook either,” he agreed with a sly smile. 

“Sure, what you got?” Alcohol was something that always brought Tommy some comfort. He couldn’t turn a drink down unless he was on shift, and that was tomorrow morning’s problem.

Rain incoming

“’Sprinkling’ or ‘pouring.’ No matter what you call it. Shit is about to rain. Cats and dogs are about to fall out from the sky!” The sous chef tried to reason with the server who was outside. It wasn’t that Stone was trying to get them to wait tables. He just wanted them to not get down-poured on before a busy dinner shift. It would be a real buzz kill.

She smirked in the slightest and shook her head. “No, just, taking a second,” Monica sighed. She hadn’t been with someone in a little while and it all came crashing into her like a wave, she didn’t want to scare him off so she’d taken a second longer in the bathroom. “No fuss made,” she countered. 

Neither of them dated much, if at all. Maybe that was the reason she’d found herself giving this a chance. “I…I don’t want you to go,” she confessed, “And that’s new for me, so, I just wanted to be sure. Sorry, I’m…rambling.” 

In response, Tommy shook his head. “No...” The man spoke softly and lightly. He didn’t want Monica to feel in the wrong when he was the one stirring up the trouble. Feeling out of sorts, but knowing he was no longer out of place, he pulled off his beanie and tucked it back into his jacket pocket. He needed to settle back down and try to be a person. Connecting with others was a challenge for him, but for Monica, he was willing to put up a fight.

“’S’all new to me too. Least it’s been a while.” He wanted to clue her in, but he wasn’t ready to open up. That wasn’t the Conlon thing to do anyway. After sitting back where he was before, he decided to move the conversation along. Maybe they could both recover. “Thanks for the food. I ‘ppreciate a hot meal.”

“Gravy?” she asked, pausing only a moment to try and process his words. She shook her head then skipped a step to grab his arm. “Wait,” Monica pleaded before she could stop herself. “Sorry.” She dropped her hand and bit her lip. “I didn’t mean–If you want to go, that’s okay, but…you know you don’t have to.” Monica wasn’t sure what was going on or what really to say.

When she said he didn’t have to go, that changed things. “I thought you was lookin’ for an escape when you was in the bathroom so long.” The man closed his piercing blue eyes and let out a huff. “Uh... Didn’t mean to make a fuss.” 

This was their third date, and Tommy didn’t do much dating. Monica could probably see why at this point. Although he was broad-shouldered and had the demeanor of a grizzly bear, the man was truly a terribly awkward, teddy bear.

Read Room

| muse: Monica Sargent | open to: anyone | sexuality: bisexual | demisexual | suggested connections: ex, lover, friend, crush, co-worker, roommate

Monica wasn’t totally sure what she walked in on but the tension in the room was enough to choke on. After a long moment of silence she just asked. “What’s wrong?” unsure what else to even say. Were they mad at her? Had she fucked up? “Hey–where are you going?”

[turnagrainofsandintoadiamond]

“It’s all gravy. Do’t even worry ‘bout it.” The man’s raspy voice cracked. His actions told a different story. He tugged on his beanie to go outside and leave the woman behind. Now, he was kicking himself because he didn’t leave sooner as he felt she had spent too time away. He felt he was intruding on her space. Maybe she had wanted to leave herself.
