"A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars." Bethany L. Duval • XI• Waitress

“Please don’t I am fragile.” he said in a small voice, a pout visible on his features. He couldn’t recall a time he felt this careless, it were moments like this that only seemed to occur around Beth. “For how long have you known me now loser? You know I won’t.” his tone sounded different than usual,  a whole lot less sarcastic and a lot more genuine. He was used to people telling him to do the exact opposite so hearing Beth tell him he should stay the exact same was a pretty great feeling. While Asher was one of the least touchy people on the plnaet he had to admit that the feeling of Beth’s hand caressing his face, no matter how briefly, felt nice. “We should, it has been entirely too long. So tell me, what’s the plan?”

Bethany released a bark of laughter at the idea of Asher being fragile, but mere seconds after it pierced the air, it quieted. What if he was fragile? She herself tried to make everyone believe that she was strong and well put together, when really, she was constantly afraid and broken. “You better not,” she half-whispered, a sweet, loving smile tugging on her lips. “You’re the best damn person in my life, shitty attitude and all.” Caught up in the moment, Bethany felt herself leaning forward in the hopes of placing a chaste kiss upon her best friend’s cheek. Yet just after moving barely centimeters closer, she pulled back and a bright pink washed over her face. “Uh, well,” she stammered, slightly flustered, “what would you like to do, Ash? I’m down for pretty much anything s’long as you’re involved.”

“Okay- I just wanted to make sure you were okay, I mean I’m never warm enough when I’m walking home so I just got a little worried is all…” Arabella ducked her head in slight embarrassment- her worrying could tend to come off as a little strong to some people. “No, no kids for me,” she giggled in slight confusion. She couldn’t even imagine being a mother, or not anytime soon anyways. “I can barely take care of myself.”

“Trust me, I’m fine. Please don’t worry ‘bout me, I’m sure Asher does enough of that in his own way.” Nodding her head, Bethany could feel a hot flush of embarrassment hit her cheeks. “O-oh, I’m sorry. Maternal instincts are great with people, though. It’s all good.”

“I can repay you woith the satifaction that comes with helping out a fellow human being.” Cameron chuckled. While he didn’t know the girl she seemed nice and he decided to go with it, the only other alternative was dropping the boxes at some point and ruining all his stuff. “The staircase up? Third floor.” he said with a sheepish grin.

“Well,” she started, her voice thick with sarcasm, “that doesn’t sound like much of a reward at all.” Bending over carefully, so sweatshirt didn’t rise up and expose the scars on her back, Bethany picked up one of the boxes. “There aren’t any bodies in here, are there? I don’t wanna be an accessory after the fact.” While the words seemed like a rather dark joke, she was a tad bit serious. During her time working with her last ‘employers’, she had seen and heard of one too many macabre things.

“I am truly blessed that the Bethany Duval, the most wondeful woman in all of Corland likes me.” he joked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He liked their playful banter, Bethany was one of the few person he didn not constantly have to watch his tongue around and that was a relaxing feeling. “I have been behaving great. Pushing old ladies in front of cars, throwing rocks at homeless people, the usual you know.”

[wtvrbethany]

“I’m going to fuckin’ punch you.” A bright smile tugged at her lips, forcing her warm eyes to light up. It was so nice to actually laugh, to relax. She felt as though she had looked over her should for far too long and she didn't have to do that with Asher around -- usually. "Oh sweet Jesus, you're never gonna play nice, are ya?" With a quick, playful wink, she lifted her hand to Asher's face and softly grazed her thumb against his cheek. "Don't ever change, freak." As quickly as she had raised it, she let her hand fall to her side. "So, uh-- we should, I dunno, watch a movie or something. Something like we used to. It's been a while since we just hung out, the two of us. At least it feels that way."

[ffslucien]

“You just keep feeding my massive ego so eventually it’s just you to blame.” he said, faking a cocky smirk. “So basically what you sound like everythime you call me when you’re drunk?” Asher joked, nudging her softly with his elbow. “No you’re the little devil sitting on my shoulder telling me to kick puppies and steal candy from toddlers. Without you I would be the perfect citizen but look at me now.“

[wtvrbethany]

She couldn't help but release a scoff at his words, a light snort accenting the sound as it left her lips. "Mm, yeah, I guess it's the same sound. You're lucky I even like you, asshole." As much as Bethany teased, there was no one in Corland she trusted more (or cared about more) than Asher. They had been best friends for as long as she could remember. "Right. People are totally going to believe that little innocent Bethany Duval encourages your behavior. Speaking of, have you been behaving lately? Or are you still accostin' innocent people?"

“Any chance you could help me with these boxes? I think I overestimated myself a bit with these.”

[wtvrbethany]

Bethany had just come back from a short shift at the diner when she heard a voice asking for help. Taking a deep breath, she turned around and forced a smile. “How much are ya payin’ me?” she teased. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Where to, kiddo?”

[nsfwlennon-deactivated20160314]

“How could anyone let that happen! I hope it wasn’t too far of a walk… I wish I could have helped but I’m stuck with walking everywhere too. Winter is the worst- but you can borrow my jacket for now if you want? It’s not much but it might make you feel better until you warm up?”

[wtvrbethany]

“Hey, Ma? I’m all good,” Bethany said with a light chuckle. “Honestly, it was my own fault. I could’ve called anyone, especially a tow, but I just didn’t feel like it. Thanks for offerin’ your jacket, though.” With a sweet smile, she tilted her head to the side and hummed to herself. “So, are you a mom? I don’t mean to be disrespectful if you’re not, you just seem like the type.”

[mendczas-deactivated20180420]

❝ Oh, yeah, that’s fair enough. You could always repay them in favors or something, no? ❞

[wtvrbethany]

“You do realize that totally sounds like you’re tellin’ me to be a prostitute, right?”

“Please, I am the most fun person you know, You love my rambling Bettie don’t even fucking deny it.” he said, shooting her a cocky wink. “But fine have it your way, next time your clingy ass calls me because you need my help with whatever you can suck it. You’re such a stubborn little fuck.”

[wtvrbethany]

“You give yourself way too much credit, babe.” Beth cringed at the sound of ‘Bettie’, the nickname she hated more than anything. “If I was clingy, I would have called you. ‘Oh Asher, please come get me. I’ll die without you. If you don’t pick me up, I won’t survive.’ I am stubborn and honestly, it’s the only thing that keeps your ass in line. You’d be a criminal without me. Admit it. I am your conscience.”

[ffslucien]

“Scrawny ass?” Asher asked teasingly. “But for real why didn’t you just call me you moron I could also just have picked you, could have saved you the hypothermia. “

[wtvrbethany]

“If you’re making fun of my own, personal nickname, I highly suggest you stop while you’re ahead.” Narrowing her eyes, Bethany shot Asher a playful glare. “Don’t call me a moron, asshat. I didn’t want to subject myself to your ramblings on how so-and-so is an idiot, or how my car is a piece of shit, or how I’m stupid for standing out in the cold. I was protecting my precious ears.”

[mendczas-deactivated20180420]

❝ You couldn’t call one of your friends for help? I’m sure any of them would’ve been willing to help. ❞

[wtvrbethany]

“I could have but I didn’t want to inconvenience anyone. Plus, I don’t exactly have spare gas money and I sure as hell ain’t gonna ask someone to bring me home and not pay up.”

[wtvrbethany]

"Oh my god, I'm exhausted. Guess whose car broke down at work and  had to walk her scrawny ass all the way back to her apartment? Me. I did. I can't feel my legs it's so cold. I honestly did not miss the winter at all. Spring, please hurry up before I freeze half to death."
