Earth-bound Misfit

Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies. Tongue-tied and twisted. Just an earth-bound misfit.

judith-polinsky:

“Hey, hey, hey, baby it wasn’t like that at all.” Sure, every now and then whenever he brought up his most recent conquest with a girl she’d feel a little petty but that was on her, not him. She ran a hand over his cheek and shushed him. “You were never that guy babe. How could you have known how I really felt when I never owned up to it? I never felt like I was enough, and that wasn’t because of you, that was because of me, and because I went back to Derek who made damn sure I wasn’t good enough for you. You’re not some shitty fuckboy, Zane, you’re not. You were looking out for us and you didn’t want to fuck this up, and I love you for that.” Jude petted his hair back. “All I meant was, flirting with you was enough for me, for a little while anyway. And then I really started to fall hard for you. I wanted you so bad, I mean look at you babe. You’re funny, sexy, sweet, sexy, an awesome drummer, sexy. What’s not to love?” Jude asked with a kiss.

“Wait, did he know? Is that why he’d always try to fuck with me by rubbing it in my face?” Every time the three of them were ever in the same place, Derek made sure Zane was aware who she was going home with, so it just made sense in Zane’s head. “What a joke,” he snorted. As she uttered all her words of affirmation, he smoothed his hands against her thighs, his hands gripping at the backs of her thighs as she leaned down to kiss him, holding her in place. He was really glad she didn’t let him go to sleep earlier. “Wanted? Past tense?” he asked playfully with a smirk, combing one of his hands through the hair at the nape of her neck to pull her back in for a kiss that was much slower and less lustful than those in their earlier romp.

Amari took a deep breath before she turned to face him better. She wasn’t sure how to best word this and this was a first for her. She’d had solid relationships up until this point so she wasn’t sure how to go about… not doing that until she was sure she wanted to be with someone. “So like… when there are multiple people you’re with,” Amari paused realizing she wasn’t making any sense, “I’m dating someone but I went on a date with someone else and I’m pretty sure I have this addiction to flirting that I can’t shut down. I don’t know how to be casual and chill with people I like, you know? I don’t know how to be with and have feelings for more than one person.”

Zane thought on Amari’s situation for a moment, not knowing if he had any authority to start giving advice on it. “That’s quite the predicament,” he stated, his brows furrowing slightly as he really contemplated. “I’ve never been with more than one person at the same time, like in terms of dating and not just casually hooking up,” he offered, shrugging his shoulders. “One date and you already have feelings? Damn, girl,” he laughed. Catching feelings had never been much of a problem for Zane. “But I guess, maybe you just have to ask yourself if it’s the actual person, the sex, or the attention that you like.”

judith-polinsky:

She understood, hell she was even guilty of running away from her feelings and into the arms of another just to erase them from her but that just brought her back to square one. Not that she was mad about that so much anymore. She was where she wanted to be. “You remember that?” She asked with a small smile on her face. “You were pretty drunk then. Oh, god Zane. That was when I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you so bad that I had feelings for you. And that was when I really fucked things up. And then you were like hardly around because you went on tour and then I sorta forgot about us.” She paused. “I dunno.” She answered. “I knew you were attracted to me, but I didn’t think that was enough you know. I’m dorky, and lazy and you know I sound like a porno minnie mouse when I talk.” She laughed. “Every time you flirted with me, I took every opportunity you gave me cause I thought thats all I was ever gonna get. Right?”

“Oh I remembered. I wasn’t blackout drunk,” he laughed, shaking his head. “I felt so weird that next morning that tour couldn’t have come soon enough, and then yeah, let’s just say tour was quite the distraction.” He chewed the inside of his lip, actually really glad that she didn’t tell him how she was feeling back then, because he was sure the end result would have been incredibly disappointing on her end. “It had nothing to do with your personality and everything to do with the fact that I cared about you too much to risk fucking you over, because that’s what would have happened. I’m sure of it.” His brow furrowed as he combed a hand through her hair behind her ear, instantly remembering how Amari was talking about seeming like Urkel compared to Theo and it made his heart pound, hating that Jude would ever feel like that when she had no reason to. “You were with Derek. I thought, ugh, fuck. I had no clue. Meanwhile, there I am, just being 'Tybee’s resident fuckboy' right in front of you like such an asshat.”

A small smile washed over her face. “I just feel like I really pulled the rug out from under your feet back there. Maybe I could have been more honest, not put you on the spot like that.” She replied, not that she was upset now at how far they had finally come. She was proud of the progress they made and knew realistically that they could have never worked out when they were younger anyway, even a year ago when she felt like those were when her feelings were really settling in. She had who she wanted and that was all she wanted to focus on from now on. Putting her hands on his face as she threw a leg over him, she kissed him sweetly. “Baby, don’t beat yourself up about that. We were both scared and we don’t have to be anymore. I love you so much.” Jude smiled, running her thumb over his bottom lip.

“Love you too,” he replied with a smile, running his hands up her thighs slowly as he attempted to form a coherent sentence out of all the things he never really told her. “I mean,” he started, thinking back to the weeks and months leading up to when they actually got together. “You’re so sexy and at one point something switched and I was struggling with that for a while. You remember that night a few months ago at that club when you were dancing on me and I bailed?” he asked, settling his hands on her hips. “Or shit, a fucking year ago when we were cuddling and I kissed your shoulder, jesus christ I forgot all about that.” He knew that was because he worked so hard to suppress it, using tour as an excuse to get the hell out of that situation as quickly as possible. He was curious, really not knowing how good he was at playing it all off. “What did you think was going on?"

“You can take a break for now.” Jude smiled sweetly and leaned over for a small peck on the mouth. “But I’m not done with you yet.” Another small peck and then she took another deep drag of her smoke as she listened now feeling admittedly guilty that she was the cause and effect for Zane. Jude leaned over and stubbed out her smoke. For a while she had bounced back and forth between quitting but never really having a good enough reason to quit. It’s not like her habit was even that outrageous, she smoked to keep her hands and mouth busy, on her work breaks and after sex. But Zane was the last person she wanted to share a smoke with. She ran her hands through her bangs. “I’m sorry, Zane. You’ve been on such a good streak up until now and you know thats all like pretty much my fault.” 

Zane shook his head, not about to have her feeling guilty at all for something he had full control over. “Nope. Not your fault, J,” he assured, squeezing her thigh and letting his hand rest there. “That’s why I went quiet for that little bit there though, was trying to rewire my fucked up brain so I could stop being a little bitch when it came to my feelings. After that first night we spent together, I was just anxious as hell constantly. Like being fuckin’ 16 again,” he laughed, trying his best to make light of it, then leaned his head back to rest on the headboard. Now that he opened that can of worms, he felt the need to apologize for something he still felt bad about. “I know I made you feel like shit though, playing with you ‘cause I was confused, which wasn’t cool at all. You’re a saint for sticking around and dealing with my shit.”

“Mmmm.” Jude hummed liking the sound of whatever he had to offer and while she was pretty exhausted she was admittedly down for another romp. “What? You mean you’re not up for round two? I’ll get on top of you and do all the work.” Jude purred as she was pretty sure even he was down for some lazy sex to really tucker them out.  A stream of smoke puffed through her nose as he took the smoke from her and she blinked repeatedly and crossed her arms over her naked chest. “You don’t smoke.” She professed, confused as she watched the smoke roll from his mouth, biting her lip at how ungodly sexy he looked before she shook her head and accepted the smoke back and took another drag, filling her lungs. “When did this happen?” She asked.

Zane looked up at her, one of his eyebrows raised and a smirk crawling across his face. She knew him too well, and the idea of her taking control was enough to get him excited. “I dunno, I’m pretty tired... but I’m not opposed to you trying to convince me,” he teased, knowing he was way too weak to actually say no to her, but he and his dick would both need a little break. “Correction, I didn’t smoke,” he admitted as he scooted back up, slightly ashamed that he even craved them again. “A couple days before this happened,” he continued, pointing between them. “I was all fucked up over you before one of my gigs, made the mistake of bumming a smoke from Chuck. It helped, but now I’m just dealing with the cravings, they come and go it’s all good.”

amari-florence:

Amari started laughing again only lighter this time. She was more amused at the way he got when he mentioned Jude. It made her want to squeal with delight, but she kept it together. She would keep the squealing for Jude and try to be chill and cool. “Well now I have to come to one of your shows and help get Jude all dolled up,” Amari insisted with a playful grin. She paused for a moment letting her grin fade a little. “Can I ask you something? Being that you used to be this epic rockstar playboy. I’m not trying to dig for information or anything, I just think you might be able to help me with a little issue I’m having,” Amari asked.

Zane chuckled, nodding. “Hell yeah, definitely come out. But honestly, J could wear a trash bag and she’d still probably drive me fucking crazy. That girl.” When Amari’s face went a bit more serious, Zane’s brow furrowed slightly. “I dunno about epic rockstar playboy,” he snorted. Sure, he was a drummer and he had a reputation, but that’s hardly how he would have described it. “Umm okay. Yeah sure, shoot.”

As she tucked her bangs over an ear she snorted. “My bad. I really meant for that to sound hot too because honestly I do want you to fill me up.” She was ready to hop on board so much as he was. Raw sex sounded great. She felt the heat go back to her cheeks as she searched for a pack of smokes and light somewhere by her bed. There was no such hope in hiding her smile when he talked like that about her or the redness that added to her face. “I’m all done I swear.” She smiled with the smoke between her lips as she lit up. “I want to really feel you.”

“You best believe I will take you up on that offer and I will make it worth your while, just not tonight. I’m fuckin’ beat,” he stated, rubbing at his tired eyes before a yawn escaped him. When Jude lit up her smoke, Zane all of a sudden felt that familiar itch, remembering all the times back in the day he’d smoke after sex. “Fuck,” he muttered as he waited for her to finish, then kissed her on the cheek as he pinched it between his fingers and brought it to his mouth to take a deep drag, the smoke heating up his lungs. “Something about that first drag,” he stated, the smoke rolling out of his mouth as he handed the cigarette back and sank down into the pillows.

thea-lawrence:

Thea was thankful for Zane’s understanding. She just sat there trying her best not to melt into tears again as she wipes her eyes and waits in the silence for Charlie to come. Her thoughts went to all the darker things and she couldn’t help but continue having her chest hurt and tears kept coming. Seeing Charlie, she tried her best to stop, but his words were so idiotic. She began laughing before her laughs turned into crying again. “You’re so stupid,” she says through the tears, not trying to be mean, but he always had to say the wrong thing. And she adored his impeccably bad timing. She continued laughing and crying, hoping that Zane would help explain.

Zane just looked at Charlie blankly when he started talking about a threesome, then glanced over and gave Thea an incredulous look before looking back at Charlie. “You really are stupid,” he echoed, shaking his head as he stepped closer and lowered the volume of his voice a bit. “She sounded like she needed to take the edge off, so I smoked her up. Her grandma died, man. And she’s just in bad shape because of Jay peacing out without a word, so try not to be an ass, alright?” He backed up and picked up the paraphernalia from the grass, and started nodding. “Alright, I’ll leave you to it,” he stated before turning around and heading back towards his place where he fully intended on polishing off what was left in the bowl after all the drama.

thea-lawrence:

The thoughts in her mind were racing. Back and forth towards her childhood and her grandmother and what little good memories they had. And the fact that she didn’t have good memories with her made her upset and scared and hurt. Why couldn’t she have something normal about her life? Instead of the shit-show that was Thea Lawrence. Her tears kept falling as her cries were more audible than she wanted. Zane’s words were heard, and she nodded. “I’m sorry, man. I’m embarrassed. I’m really not sure what the hell is happening.” She speaks, wiping her eyes as she whimpers a bit. “Could you…would you call Charlie?” Sniffling as she feels extremely pathetic.

Zane made a face, shaking his head. “No need to feel embarrassed for being human,” he said, shrugging as he pulled his phone out of the pocket of his sweatpants. It was late, but Charlie would no doubt still be awake, so he pulled him up in his contacts and hit send. “Hey, man,” he greeted as Charlie picked up, glancing over at Thea for any signal to hang up the phone. “Hey uh, so weird situation, but Thea is over at my place. She’s pretty upset, can you come over? We’re outside.”

“Well you’re not allowed to pass out on me yet, we gotta cuddle.” She smiled sweetly. Cuddling was just another bonus she had come to love far too easily between them. Jude climbed outta bed as well to pull her head through her baggy tee and wait to go pee. As she watched his sexy naked self walk back towards the bed, she pinched one of his ass cheeks with a smirk and sauntered off to her on suite. “No more damn UTIs.” She chanted as she washed her hands and walked back out. “I’ve been on the pill since I was like fifteen. I mean that does make more mess for me but hey if you want to fill me up next time.” She shrugged biting her lip. "Thats up to you.” She sang and climbed up into bed next to him, giving him a smooch.

Zane snorted as he squeezed her into him. Of course the idea of being able to not wear a condom during sex was appealing as shit, but she had such a way with words. “Way to make something incredibly hot sound so gross, or like stopping at a gas station,” he said, scrunching up his nose as he laughed. “Though honestly, now that’s all I’ll be able to think about. Being able to really feel you,” he moaned, blowing out some air as he thought about it. “Though if this is you teasing me again, I swear to god, woman...”

“Thanks,” she mutters. “She wasn’t a good person, and it stink that she’s gone, but…it’s better this way.” Thea gives a shrug, her grandma had barely raised her. The money her parents had left was gone within the first few months after their passing and so the woman dipped into all of Thea’s accounts until they were baron. The woman was also extremely neglectful, hence how she had met the Challengers. Thea felt her lower lip tremble, not wanting to cry but as soon as he touched her knee, she felt herself crying. And then of course she was embarrassed for crying, so she cried more. She tried listening to his words, but for some reason they just hurt more than helped. This was far from the plan she had in mind. But here she was, her knees tucked to her chest, hugging herself as she cried for the first time in years.

Zane had no fucking clue what to do in this moment. She was clearly having a rough time, but he had no idea how to comfort someone who didn’t want to be comforted. He was sure anything he was saying was falling on deaf ears. He nodded to himself, then leaned back to look up at the clear sky. “I’m sorry I’m so shit with words. Just let me know if there’s anything I can do, alright?” he said, his brow furrowed as he let her cry it out.

judith-polinsky:

Zane was easily the best sex she ever had. The way her body reacted to every thrust, every touch was enough to send her over the very edge. And fuck, he was not kidding when he wanted to coax every damn moan out of her system. Every deep thrust from her rear made her moan loudly, and gripping the sheets between her fingers. He pushed her to another hard climax, trapping the muffling moans into a pillow her face was pressed onto. “Fuuuuuck.” She whined as he pulled her back down his length as he came in her. She fell back on the bed, breathing out heavily. “Ugh, me? What about you? Wowwww fuck. My damn legs are so shaky. They won’t stop.” She laughed as she rolled over onto his chest and rested her head on her hand and smiled at him. “How’re you feeling, babe?” 

He had so many words going through his mind when she asked him how he was feeling. Fulfilled, satisfied, exhausted. “Sleeeeepy,” he replied with a big smile as his eyes closed and his hand roamed the skin of her side. “One second,” he groaned as he moved to sit up, sliding off the condom as he walked his happy, bare ass into the bathroom to clean up. “Imagine a world where you could just have sex without a condom with no consequences and go to sleep and not have to worry about cleaning up or taking a piss. That’s the world I wanna live in,” he joked as he pulled on his boxer briefs and got back into bed.

She smiled at his response, nodding. “Yeah, well that’s what happens when the only surviving member of your family kicks the bucket and leaves you with nothin’ but medical bills.” Thea hadn’t spoke to anyone about her grandmother passing until now, of course it only coming out now since she was high. The brunette gave a shrug as she took back the bowl, needing a hundred more hits before remotely feeling alright. Listening to Zane gave her some hope, but also made her feel stupid. Holding the lighter above the weed as she takes another puff, she gives a shrug at his comments and question. She exhales through her nostrils, “Yeah but I don’t know, that just seems like…that shit isn’t gonna happen to me. I’m looking for someone to care about me unconditionally, dude. Like no matter how bad I fuck something up, they still are there. And still love me and forgive me at the end of the day.” She could feel herself on the verge of tears. Thea never cried, and she never wanted to either. She felt like it was a sign of weakness and vulnerability. But all her inhibitions were fried from all the stress and now the weed. She began to get choked up, “Like fuck man, I’ve never even felt that from my family.”

Zane’s face fell when Thea spoke about her grandma, her tone sounding colder than what you’d expect for someone who just lost a loved one. However, he understood resentment, and that sometimes no matter if you love someone, you can hate them all the same. His mother taught him that. He sat up and started picking some of the grass. “Sorry about your grandma. I don’t know the situation, but regardless, it sucks.” He listened intently as she spoke, truly feeling terrible that Thea actually believed the stuff she was saying, even worse when she started crying as he could relate to her more than she knew. “Listen,” he said, reaching over and putting his hand on her knee for a second as his best shot at comforting her. “This is good, the honesty, vulnerability, man. How is anyone gonna love you if you’re not being as authentically you as possible? And if I’m being honest, that hard exterior does you no favors anyways.” He bent his knees and rested his elbows on the tops of them as he looked up to the sky and back down at her. “Hit it as much as you want, you need it more than I do,” he said, his voice quiet before he gave her a small smile.

“You are literally gonna kill me you know that. I never teased you this badly.” She muttered under her breath both excitedly and frustratedly as he pulled her top off and shook her hair out, biting back a moan. She propped up on her elbows when he asked her what she wanted, realizing nobody had ever asked her that. But every thought came back to her blurry. She was too turned on to even focus on what exactly she wanted apart from how badly she wanted him. “Oh, god, Zane, I want you. I want you to make me come so hard I’m gonna melt into this damn duvet.” She looked down at him between her thighs with a coy smile and a small breathy laugh. “Please baby.” The small brunette begged with her little voice. 

Zane was to the moon happy after he coaxed the exact response he wanted out of Jude. She was so sexy as she squirmed, and her begging for him to continue was like music to his ears, so he did his best to give her exactly what she wanted before they got down to the rest of their business for the night. Sweat beaded off his chest as he finished with Jude’s ass pressed up against him, his hands gripping it roughly as a grunted “fuuuck” escaped out of his lips. He leaned down to kiss the back of Jude’s shoulder as he pulled out and dropped down next to her to catch his breath. “Holy fuck you’re so sexy,” he groaned, his eyes now sleepy from the release.

Amari started laughing and clapped her hands together. She had completely forgotten that poor adolescent boys had to go through that. She forced the image of Theo having to hide a boner out of her head because she always forced Theo’s…parts out of her head. She didn’t need to start thinking about that. “That is a very good point Mr. Foster,” Amari agreed as soon as she stopped laughing, “I’m hoping it’s not something you still have to deal with, but I guess if it did happen while you were working it’s a lot easier to hide it what with the drums and all.”

“Nope I think I’ve officially mastered the art of talking myself down before any sort of awkward boner situation arises,” he replied with a smirk, “though I will take your advice if it ever does happen, who knows, I haven’t actually been out in public with J yet now that we’re together and she is very capable of driving me fucking crazy,” he laughed, picturing her all dressed up for a night out. “Alright, please change the subject. This is dangerous territory.” Zane had no clue why it was so easy to talk to Amari, but he didn’t really have a problem with it at all.

thea-lawrence:

She laughs a bit, shaking her head. “I’ve known how to do taxes since I was like eleven, man.” Thea had a rough childhood and there was no question about that. So even if she felt like she wasn’t an adult, she had become one far too earl to feel as though there was more growing up for her to do. She hands over the bowl back to its owner. “Yeah, yeah. I’ve been on the verge of a mental breakdown for a few weeks now. So nah, I’m better for the moment.” She shrugged. She leans back propping herself up with her elbows. “It’s just shit…y’know? I’ve never had what you have with Jude or what like Charlie has for Liv. And sometimes I think I’m never gonna because I’m just all fucked up and know how to love.”

Zane grabbed the bowl and lighter from her and lit up a hit for himself, sucking back as much as his lungs would allow before handing them back and lying back onto the grass. He held the smoke in as he spoke, “Mental breakdowns are no bueno,” he muttered before blowing out the thick cloud of smoke towards the night sky. “Hey, like I said, I got incredibly lucky with Jude. I didn’t even think that shit would ever happen for me, didn’t really want it to actually.” Zane didn’t really know what it was like to pine for someone, to pine for a relationship, but now that he felt like he knew love, he understood why she would and it made him feel some sympathy for the girl. “Well, what is it that you’re looking for?”
