LOST BOY ;

scarlett-baldwin:

Digging away into her bag frantically, the goddamn house key wasn’t there. She breathed in and out deeply, her fingers running through her hair, and covering her face. Shit, I locked myself out of my house again she thought to herself.  “Crap, I locked myself out of my house, I forgot my keys in my house this morning before I locked myself out I was listening to Lady Gaga and forgot to grab my key. I was running late for work and I just ran for it” she explained to the other, “Can I stay at yours for the night? I’ll cook or pay for dinner I promise.” She continued babbling on, “Or can you stay with me until I call someone?I don’t want to wait until it gets dark” Scarlett was in total shock that this had happened again, it had turned out this had been the week from hell, and she hadn’t been as organised as she usually was.

“Absolutely,” Romeo replied without much hesitation, even before she’d finished speaking. He didn’t want to appear over-excited, but he had always had a general understanding of helping others in need. “Do you need to pick up any toiletries or something? We can stop by a drug store and get’cha a toothbrush? Some mouthwash? Anything you need. Clothing-wise, sorry,” he added as he rubbed the back of his neck. “I don’t have any, like, women’s clothing. Not sure if I should,” he furrowed his brows slightly. “But! I’m sure some’a my sisters clothes are hangin’ up in the guest bedroom--- if you need ‘em, of course.”

Eleanor 📲 Open

Eleanor: thank you so much for coming to the drive this week!

Eleanor: we’re packaging everything and sending it out on Monday!

Romeo: Oh it was no problem!

Romeo: Glad I could've been of some assistance!

“Okay,” Bella paused, crossing her arms across her chest. “I’m most DEFINITELY not giving you that. You’re fine, I don’t see you hobbling over… and I didn’t take you for a drama queen either,” she added with a roll of her eyes, her demeanor switching from concerned to completely-done within a heartbeat. “You can call me B, that’s all you’re getting… I can give you a ride to work if you’re late though– that I actually do feel bad about… I promise I won’t crash into anything… this time.”

“It was a joke,” he groaned, stretching his arm over his head before smiling. “And you don’t feel bad about hitting me? I’ll accept your most gracious offer, but I am actually gonna need your information--- otherwise I’m gonna have to consider this a hit-and-run, B.”

killianxoconnor:

“It is dead and that’s pretty sad.” He mentioned to the male in front of him. “Seeing as we didn’t see each other then I guess you couldn’t say it was love at first sight.” Killian responded as he laughed nervously. “I will try to let you know if there are anything else that comes from it.”

Romeo nodded in agreement once more, but found himself tilting his head in an almost admirative position at the other. It was amusing just how far some people would go for mindless sex, but he couldn’t help but imagine what a committed relationship would be like. A classic love story. 

“Don’t wanna hear a play-by-play of your playtime, amigo. Just give me the goods--- just not all of the goods.”

laurel-lannister:

She laughed along with the male’s joke in agreement  and then nodded at his question. “Yep, I sure do, I’m the owner actually” she admitted with a proud smile, “I’ve been working there for five years” she added. There was no doubt she was proud of good paws and how much was accomplished. She had great staff and had supported her during her toughest times and although it was hard to walk into work the first day without her brother, she continued on in his legacy. “You should bring your little one sometime, we’d love to see her, for good reasons of course,” she said as she poked the dog’s nose lightly with her index finger, before letting out a soft chuckle. “Who’s Julia?” she asked without thinking, before pursing her lips together, god damn it Laurel, you don’t ask a stranger what could have been a personal question a personal question, she thought to herself. “Uhh, I mean if you don’t mind sharing of course” she then responded quickly after her thoughts had gone a million miles per second. “Sure, I’m willing to give anything a shot – I’m Laurel, by the way, I’m shocked I haven’t seen you around although I do live around Montrose, If you’re ever stopping around the neighbourhood, you should drop by”

“That’s incredible,” Romeo smiled brightly, his enthusiasm striking through his usual poise. Every so often, a peek of Romeo’s true vulnerabilities came shooting out and there was little he could do to prevent them from happening. Ringo brought out that side of him and more often than not, he let it happen. Who was he to deny that face? “I might just have to. Gotta keep a close eye on her through so no one makes off with her. Anyone could just slip her in their pocket and walk out.” Chuckling softly, he shook his head. “Julia was the dog I was referring to. Don’t worry. I can talk about her withing crying now,” he joked. It had been a while since he cried over her, but admitting it could’ve been misconstrued. “Romeo,” he nodded back. “I try to keep to myself. Only really going where I’m needed an’ all.” Smiling, he gave another nod of affirmation. “Sounds good to me. Maybe we could go get a drink?”

adamfosterr:

“ Right…the police.” He said. “ Well, I don’t need the police to speak to me about anything, so I assume you’ll be taking care of giving this to them, right?” He asked, eyes basically pleading that he did. “…Don’t make me be the one to do this.” 

“Might be too late for that,” Romeo shook his head slightly, cocking an eyebrow at the other. “You already have.” It took him less time to whip out his chained badge from beneath his shirt than actually finishing his sentence. With a soft sigh, he scrubbed a hand over his face. “Christ, I just wanted a nap.”

e-for-eleanor:

“You want me to just… Guess? Lord.” She stopped walking and looked him over. “I don’t know… uhm, maybe a bar tender? Or like a waiter? Somethin’ where you get to chat with people.”

“I did wait tables when I was in high school,” he mused with a soft smile. “I was also a bartender in San Francisco for about a year. So, yes--- you’re not wrong.” After making his way over to the next post, he gazed over to the other. “I think the elementary school thing is a cover-up. I think you’re a model just making the rest’a us common folk look bad with your good samaritanism.”

capclla:

He sounds like a nervous parent. Cap doesn’t point it out, but he does attempt to hide a little bit of his amusement at it behind his hand. It’s kind of adorable, actually. “Understandable.” He says, clearing his throat after a few moments, and then leaning forward where he’s sat to rest his arms on his thighs. “You can screen people though, you know? I get that it’s sort of impossible to ever really be sure, it’s just an alternative to pocket pup is all. Don’t suppose your job allows for pets, does it?” Strangely, some jobs actually do, and considering Cap doesn’t actually know what he does for work, he’d not have a clue.

From the corner of his eye, he briefly caught the look of amusement of the other. His own cheeks stain a light pink tint before he cleared his throat out of habit. He could tell he was being overdramatic and perhaps his way of dealing with the stress shouldn’t have been to lay it all on some stranger. The laughter was never any good indication. He looked like an idiot. Coddling the pup closer, he glanced away to meet the other’s gaze. “She’s much too small to be considered for the K-9 Unit, but it’d probably be adorable seeing her in a tiny vest.”

detectivebanner:

Rey had a weak spot for animals, she instantly melted whenever there was something adorable and fluffy around her, and this was no exception. “Why would your sister never want to look after her?” She questioned in a tone that showed just how ridiculous she thought that sounded. “She’s an absolute sweetheart, I’m sure if you brought her down to the station everyone would want to look after her.” It wasn’t a lie, the young detective knew that she would work the day away with the small puppy on her lap. “I know for sure that I would, although she might end up gaining a few pounds because I’d just keep feeding her treats.”

“It was hard to keep her off this little lady at first, but after I kept asking her, she stopped answering my calls,” he admitted with a soft laugh. “I mean, yeah, was it a stupid idea to get a dog with our kinda job? Probably. Our day doesn’t just end at five.” Sighing softly, he ran a gentle finger over the dog’s head. “I’m happy I got her, though. Maybe I will bring her by the station one day.”

killianxoconnor:

“Actually, I wouldn’t mind it being just a booty call if that’s what he wanted!” He said as he laughed a little bit. “I mean we just had that one encounter and everything, so I definitely wouldn’t say that.”

“Romance truly is dead,” he sighed, a smile toying at his lips. “So it wasn’t love at first sight?” He tilted his head much like a dog would before grinning. “You’ll have to tell me how it plays out.”

[xmcrello]

killianxoconnor:

Killian laughed softly at the other’s question and he shook his head slowly. “No, I haven’t called him back yet, but he did give me his personal phone number, so I’m not sure exactly what that means. I haven’t been in like a situation romantically in quite some time.”

“A phone number could mean anything in this day and age. You could be a potential booty-call or an actual romantic interest,” he nodded affirmatively. “Are you interested in this guy? Romantic, or not?”

laurel-lannister:

“Lucky” she responded, “You can always say to the girls that those bite marks are in fact shark scares,” she said, pointing at the other agreeing with her own comment. “You can always drop by at the clinic we do need more volunteers if you’d like to take care of a pet without worrying about taking them home” she offered, knowing how much of a help other’s could be, especially when the clinic needed it. “I suppose you’re right” she answered with a shrug of her shoulders, “but when you take care of someone else’s pet for so long although you’re really over the moon that their animal is cured there’s a small part of you that goes with them when they leave, cheesy I know, but I get so heartbroken saying goodbye” she admitted, pursing her lips together in a straight line. “My dog is 5 years old, I still remember the day that I got him, how about yours? Maybe they can go on a playdate one day, Marley needs more friends”

“Tiniest and cutest shark attack I’ve ever had,” he smirked. At her suggestion, his eyebrows rose. “You work at the clinic? That was a shot in the dark,” he smiled before giving an enthusiastic nod. “I’d love to volunteer! Fair warning, I might actually take another dog home. I used to have an older little lady, another Maltese I adopted a couple years back when I moved back to the states,” he gestured down to the pup who didn’t seem to be letting go of his thumb. “She’s been my little saviour since I lost Julia.” Taking the dog, he lifted her up to press a small kiss to the top of her head. “She’s about fourteen weeks. Might be a little too young to play, but we could give it a try.”

junenixon:

“and you say your sister don’t wanna take care of her?” june asked incredulously - still cooing at the thing like it was a newborn baby. “no, absolutely not. unacceptable.” she teased, offering the same enthusiasm; a small laugh tumbling off her lips. it was rather wonderful, the way a small animal could turn june into mush. “oh my fuckin’ god, i’ve already forgotten your name. what’s your name?”

“She’s gettin’ kinda sick of looking after her. I call almost every day. She has stuff to do, too,” he explained softly, still smiling at the other’s enthusiasm. “Ringo.” He nodded briefly towards the smaller creature. “Oh-- were you talking to me, or her? ‘Cause I’m Romeo, but everyone just calls me Rome and on occasion just ‘R’ ‘cause they can’t be bothered to say my full name.”

[xmcrello]

e-for-eleanor:

“I guess, it really depends on the kids.” She shrugged, beginning to walk again. The woman smiled softly as he stumbled over his job description. “I didn’t think you were a janitor.” Eleanor told him.

“So, you’re saying I don’t look like a janitor?” He cocked an eyebrow, a smile playing at this lips. Walking over to pin up the next sign, he shook his head mostly to himself. “If I didn’t tell you what my job was, what do you think I’d do for a living. Be honest.”

taliyacstllo:

taliya remembered waiting tables in manhattan and just how rude people could be. she’d been fired from countless jobs for her attitude which was still prominent to this day. she just couldn’t stand it when people talked to her a certain way or acted as if they were higher up on the food chain than everyone else - it was infuriating. though luckily, with age, she managed to subside that fiery temper which only arose with the situation warranted it. “ well aren’t you just a regular knight in shining armor, ” she chuckles as he returns to his seat. the barista couldn’t help but smile softly as the man headed out of the shop and down the street to fume somewhere else. “ you handled that much more gracefully than i would have - and without any shred of violence - impressive. ”

“No, just a guy that doesn’t like impoliteness,” he corrected, gaze downcast towards his book. Praise for something anyone could’ve done wasn’t exactly his forte. Someone should’ve stepped up to tell the man what he was doing wasn’t right--- but he didn’t like confrontation. Emotions seemed to well up at the thought of how different that could’ve went and how quickly things would’ve turned had the other man made a move. Clearing his throat, he glanced at the other with a small smile. “Just glad I could help.”

liamjeppsen:

It was dangerous that Bruno was under the tractor, thankfully construction wasn’t happening at the moment but if anything happened to the dog it would be on Liam’s time and he would feel heart broken himself if Bruno got hurt. He started to snap his fingers, making small noises and calling for the dog some more. But Bruno was too scared to move. He didn’t feel the man approach the tractor so it took him by surprise when he heard the question. Almost scaring him until he registered what he said. “Oh yea, it is a beagle. He gets scared of vets. Last time he was in, he bit the other vet.” 

“Most dogs hate going to the vet ‘cause you guys are always try’na stick stuff up their butts,” he shook his head. “You gotta keep them relaxed and give ‘em treats an’ stuff.” Walking closer, he knelt down to hold out his hand to the canine, rubbing his fingers together. “Of course, you’re the expert here. Not me. I just like dogs.” Watching as the dog made his way out slowly from under, he rubbed a soothing hand over his head. “Maybe try blindfoldin’ him when you get back.”

bellaxhart:

“You know, sometimes shit happens, but you stand up and brush it off– here, do you need help? Will you live? Will you survive? Are you good?” she asked with a roll of her eyes at hearing his words. That was what she got for trying to be a nice person. Hmph. Maybe she should have hit him with a little more force to knock some nice back into him. “Speak for yourself, I find food very comforting,” she frowned, throwing the dejected twinkie on the sidewalk. “Get in– I can take you if you want. Or we can stand here being sassy towards each other. I’m all good with either but you’re the one with potential brain injury so… your call.”

“Yeah, like being struck by a distracted driver, for instance,” he shot back, pushing himself to his feet. Glancing around to prying eyes, he swept a hand over his leather jacket, dusting it off. “Sorry,” he said after a moment. “I used humour as a crutch. You’ll forgive me if I find this situation ridiculous enough to laugh about.” Sighing, he shook his head. “I’ve got to get to work, but you can write down your information so I can sue you later.”
