Legends of Tomorrow | WonderCon ‘16 | Brandon & Caity (x)

We never met each other on Arrow. She helped save me but… Ray never met her on Arrow.

Dinner on the Moon //Caity and Brandon

[caityoakgrove]

She grinned and winked at him, hating to see a frown or pout on his face. “I…..might….” she teased him. She saw the look that crossed his features and she was pretty sure that he was imagining her in his clothes. Little did he know that she had already managed to make off with some of his clothes from staying with him in the past as she moved house or needed a place to crash after a night out on the town.

Caity was happy to hear that he was going to trade his potato for the fries so she could eat them off his plate. She nodded and set her menu down in front of her as she decided on what she wanted. “I remember. I’m going to have the fried chicken with the mashed potatoes and chips” she said. She heard her stomach start growling at their talk about food, sure that it was louder then it really probably was.

She smiled when the girl came back over to take their order and collect the menus, leaving after telling them she would be right back with their drinks and Caity couldn’t help letting her foot slip out of her shoe and up the inside of his calf before giggling softly as she watched his face. “Is there a problem darling?” She teased once she calmed down a bit.

He had to shake the visual from his mind in order to keep focused on their conversation “Might, huh? You brought a toothbrush tonight though, right?” he hinted, assuming the night would end the same way the last several had. “Good choice,” he nodded, as if she needed his approval but the boyish grin that followed made it clear he was teasing. “I’m going to assume I’m not the only hungry one here - mashed and chips!?” Reason number....hell, he’d long lost count - that he adored Caity the way he did. While many girls would have insisted a salad was all they needed, Caity was never shy.

He gave a friendly nod to the waitress as she collected the menus from their table, his eyes quickly settling back on his date once she’d turned her back to retreat to the kitchen. His eyebrow shot up when he felt her foot against his leg, shaking his head “No problem at all, sweet cheeks” he teased back, “but you keep that up and you might have big one.” he joked, leaning forward a little so his arms could reach low enough under the table to get a hold of her ankle, his eyes locking on hers while he ran his fingers from her ankle and along the top of her foot, his smile turning mischievous when he reached her toes and slipped his fingers to the underside to give a little tickle in retaliation.

Well you are missing out then. Yeah  he really is a good guy to have by my side. I make no promises. 

[vancityrouth-blog]

Hey man, don’t throw a brother under the bus. I’ve got a reputation to uphold, you know!

[jaredtheleto-blog1]

You are right about it but when I saw the results I was like what the hell happened? Aha. It’s nice to meet you Brandon, I’m Kendall. How are you?

[vancityrouth-blog]

I feel that feel at least once a day. It’s great to meet you, Kendall - I’m doing pretty damn good, can’t complain. Kids happy, got work. What about you?

[caityoakgrove]

{text from Brandon} So I'm not the only one who thought he was crazy? Cause we aren't...right? He did make some good points {text} I mean I would, yes, of course.

{ text }: It’s Arty, of course he is crazy and I never really gave it much thought. { text }: Really?! You seem unsure about it. Are you saying what I want to hear or telling me you want to be together?!

[caityoakgrove]

{text}: Hahahaha, well its good to know that I am useful to the relationship. Come by my place later and you will be screwed if you want to anyway ;) {text}: Awwwww, that is the cutest, most romantic way I have ever been asked out actually ;)

[vancityrouth-blog]

{text}: In more ways than one, and don’t think I didn’t see that, I’ll be there in 20!

{text}: Phew, at least I got that right.

{text}: Wait was that yes or....?

“Oh you did? Well, I guess in that case it was pretty good,” she said, smiling at him and rolling her eyes in a playful manner. “A doctor? I don’t know about that, but keep up those compliments and we might be able to play doctor,” she teased. “All set?”

[vancityrouth-blog]

He nodded “Pretty good?” he scoffed jokingly, putting his hand on the small of her back to lead them outside “Well, in that case I can definitely do better - did it hurt when you fell?” he wiggled his brow at her, figuring she knew how that one ended. 

[thejennifermorrison-deactivated]

Well I’m now thirty seven. And so far has been an amazing year.

[vancityrouth-blog]

Shoot, did I miss it? Happy Birthday, beautiful. Hope it gets even better from here.

[jaredtheleto-blog1]

I took a test online about the Kardashians and it told me that I need to learn more about them and their lifestyle. The worst thing is when I looked back at the answers I picked and they were actually wrong. What? I’m ashamed.

[vancityrouth-blog]

Hey, no one can be expected to remember everything, right? I wouldn’t feel too bad - I’ve missed far more obvious things in my days. I don’t think we’ve met though, I’m Brandon

[vancityrouth-blog]

{text}: That’s not it at all, I just hadn’t given it much thought myself tbh. I knew I liked hanging out with you and wanted more of it, but it wasn’t until he pointed it out that somehow we’d gotten there without me even realizing. 

{text}: Which honestly, is a bit of a pisser, cause I missed out on the whole romantic gesture of asking in some grand way. But also another clear indicator of why I need you in my life, someone has to tell me what to do or I’m screwed! 

{text}: So yeah, this is me officially asking you if you’ll wear my class ring ;)

Talk about your favorite part of someone else’s body.

I’m not sure if this technically counts, but it is part of her body so I’m doing it anyway. Hands down, without a doubt, Caity’s freckles - cutest fucking thing ever, cuter even than a box of kittens. She has a great ass too. @vancitycaity

Talk about someone you want to be friends with.

Can I say Ben Affleck? Not only did he kick ass as the new Batman and shut down all his haters, but we’re talking Chasing Amy, Good Will Hunting, Gone Girl - so many great films that he’s been a part of not just on camera but behind too. Alright, so maybe it a man crush, but whatever, I dig him.

Wait, you wanna kiss me? Are you drunk, that’s what’s happening here right?

[foxymegz]

Yeah, I mean why not? Ha, no, I’m not drunk. Not at all. Can I ask why it seems so weird to you that I’m totally okay with kissing you?

[vancityrouth-blog]

Um, I mean I’m not complaining don’t get me wrong but cause you’re hot as hell and I’m...me! 

[arthuroakgrove]

Alright, calm down! I’ll pick you up at 8 tonight and take you out to a fancy restaurant.

[vancityrouth-blog]

Goodie, I’ll put on my best dress!! Can’t wait! 

[arthuroakgrove]

Of course I do but I meant……nevermind man. @vancityrouth

I meant that you two spend all your time together, she stays at your flat pretty much every night. You two are dating for crying out loud!

[vancityrouth-blog]

What, no we’re not, we’re just....wait, shit, are we? I need to talk to Caity.

Dinner on the Moon //Caity and Brandon

[caityoakgrove]

“You promise? Because I may need to head back inside and pack a bag….though on second thought, maybe I will just steal some of your clothes” she teased, biting her lip at his squeezing her knee. She couldn’t bring herself to admit how good it felt and instead she distracted herself by picking up the IPod and beginning to shuffle through the songs again.

She kept a steady stream of conversation up with Brandon on the trip, occasionally singing along as a song she really loved came on and it didn’t escape her notice that his hand never left her knee for the entirety of the trip. She looked out the window as he parked the car and she heard what he said about karaoke. “Oh so that means you have plans to take me out on another date then?” She asked as she took his hand and stepped out of the car, interlacing their fingers as she did. “Lead the way good sir” she teased him with a bright smile as she let him take the lead and she played with his fingers.

Once they were inside, she gazed around and nodded approvingly. “I like this place already” she said as a staffer brought their menus to look at and she knew almost instantly what she was going to get to eat as she opened it and glanced at the first page. “What are you going to get because I hope you know I am going to pick off it” she teased. Yet another thing that she had started on set, them each ordering something different and then picking off the other’s plate because it was only fair that if she picked off his, she share hers as well.

[vancityrouth-blog]

“You mean you don’t just have one permanently packed and waiting?” he stuck out his lower lip in a faux pout, though he couldn’t help but grin at the thought of her prancing around in one of his t-shirts. Conversation with Caity was easy - she hadn’t met most of his family, nor he hers but somehow he felt like he knew them through the stories they’d shared. And it never felt forced or like they needed to find things to talk about - even the moments of silence that occasionally fell between them felt comfortable. It wasn’t something Brandon shared with a lot of people - usually he felt the need to fill space with something, which usually wound up being something goofy for the sake of a smile or laugh, but with her he’d never felt as if he needed to be anything other than who he was. 

“Hasn’t that always been the plan?” he asked with a raised eyebrow, teasing her a little, though to be honest - the thought that they wouldn’t go out again had never occurred to him until she said it and the idea of it filled him with a slight sense of panic that he had to brush aside while they made their way into the restaurant. He gave a nod of thanks to the host once they were seated with their menus in hand, chuckling a little at her threat to pick off his plate. “The biggest steak they’ve got.” he nodded “but I’ll make sure to get the fries instead of baked potato so you can easily pick.” he added, laying the menu down once he’d finalized his decision “And you? Nothing with mushrooms, remember!”
