THE HURT:
“Nah, it’s not that bad. I’ve had worse.”
“I don’t think I can walk that far… or at all.”
“I’m fine. I don’t need your help.”
“Will you stay with me? Just until I fall asleep?”
“I’m sorry, I’m just—I’m just really tired.”
“I don’t need a break. I’m okay.”
“It was my fault. It was all my fault.”
“I think I need help.”
“So, I don’t think I’m dying, or anything, and it’s probably not that serious, but… I’m kinda bleeding. A lot.”
“Is the room spinning right now, or is that just me?”
“No, I’m okay, I just… I hit my head. Really hard. I’ll be okay, just give me a second.”
“I’m not sick! I’m fine!”
“No, I don’t think any of my bones are broken, or anything like that. Just bad bruises.”

“I’ve got a headache.”
“Seriously, though, I’m fine! Stop making such a big deal out of it!”

“You’re dead on your feet, poor thing. Come on, you need some sleep.”
“Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you.”
“Tell me where it hurts.”
“How many times have I told you to be more careful?!”

“Oh, honey, you’re safe now. I promise. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”
“Go ahead and take a shower. I’ll fix you something to eat.”
“What happened to you, baby?”
“I’ll kill that bastard. I’ll kill him for what he did to you.”
“You look like shit, man.”
“Whoa, whoa, take it easy! You got pretty banged up back there, and you don’t want to go making yourself worse.”
“I’m not trying to baby you. It’s called taking care of my friends.”
“Sweetheart, you’re burning up! Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you tell anyone you were sick?”

He's amused by her lack of conviction: his stance, by default, when he'd seek to fuel his delusions with meaningless advice from strangers: similar to their situation right here. It never failed to entertain him, though, to make conversation out of it. Store the truths that were offered to him in some safe corner of his brain and carry on to learn his lessons by his own hand. "What's your alternative, then? Never trying?" Calvin inquires. "I think that would waste just as much time. It'd be quite boring, too."
Katydid is skittish about most things and that includes taking chances. She listens to his words, though; sees if they reverberate at all in her chest. Still, she's scared to dip into the well of hope, afraid of what might come out. "I'm not sure I have enough time to waste on something like healing," she says, tilting her head at him. // @hcartspill

Manon would gladly use her magic to help others: this trait had made her dedicate her lifetime to helping people. It was the one way she knew how to relate with humankind, the only way in which it was acceptable for her to care for others over herself; her self-imposed purpose. Growing up as a wild witch was lonely: she had to learn how to harness her powers on her own, bearing the inherent responsibility to conceal it from the many mortals she lived around over the course of her existence. Logically, she would do anything to cling to these connections.
Helping Dorian, however, demanded a different kind of commitment: not only because it was her closest encounter with one of his kind... but because of the nature of the magic he was attempting to perform. She sympathized with his situation immediately, and was quick to accept in taking part in the ritual when he proposed it. But as it became more bloody and complicated, the brunette was starting to second guess her capability to pull this off.
"I need to know more. About how I can help you." She interjects, as her brown eyes worriedly examine the marks on his body. "I don't want... what we're doing to be the last thing you ever do."
OPEN TO: any f muse 25 + !
MUSE: dorian sykes, covenless warlock. twenty-nine. dylan o'brien fc.
PLOT: dorian's coven exiled him before falling to ruin after he tried to warn them. he's trying to protect himself from a curse placed upon the coven he isn't sure he was spared of. unlike witches, warlocks require higher stakes to do magic. he needs this witch more than she needs him. they get together to do a spell but dorian's magic isn't pulling its weight, so he needs some extreme measures.
It had always been more complex for his kind, the stakes always higher. The contact needed to be far more precise and the surrender a kind of submission that came with an ache. Pain seemed to be the only thing that reminded anyone they were human, and it challenged a warlock to put their faith in something more if they truly wanted to defy it.
The spell had been attempted three times with crimson staining the carpet as proof. A soft grunt of frustration was buried into the collar of his sweater as Dorian pulled it over his head. The remnants of his coven were pierced into his skin. It had been the only way to save them and their essence, and they were memorialized and saved in inked memory. Yet, the tattoos were split open at every attempt to use what little magic was left from their demise when he needed it the most.
"It'll be quick," Dorian assured her, pressing the blade into the black sand of the circle they sat within before pressing it to his side. "It's never as easy for me as it is for you. Man was made to destroy the earth, so we need to sacrifice ourselves if we want to submit to it."

her night wasn't much better: coming back from a crammed pub after performing an hour - long set of songs that didn't fail to remind her of their still fresh breakup, though not too eager to go home and struggle to get rest on a bed where paris' absence was still felt. feet drag along the hallway before she notices a faint glow coming from the apartment, signaling presence. sprinting towards the door darcy turns her key with urgency ( she had always been quite the scaredy cat ), yet her gaze softens when she recognizes the blonde's silhouette, appearing to her like a vision of their previous normalcy. though her posture relaxes, her stomach is still in knots. ❛ — jesus, paris. i thought the worst. ❜ she breathes out. ❛ is everything okay ? what . . . what are you doing here ? ❜
❛ ♡ for a wishlist starter ━ ⊰ ✶ @hcartspill / hits different.
the night was a vibrant, multicolored blur. she remembered arriving at the bar, she remembered ordering her fifth ( or was it sixth? ) drink, she remembered throwing up on the curb next to the street light, and now she’s at home. it’s still dark outside, she’s still drunk, perhaps she hasn’t even slept yet... just simply emerged from her heartbreak induced blackout. her eyebrows furrow as she hears a noise coming from down the hall. a key turning in the lock, she swallows harshly, noting how absolutely terrible she both feels and looks. ❛ h - hello ? ❜ please be them, please be them. maybe they’d realized how much of a mistake they had made, maybe they were feeling the same way, or maybe her friends had told them how insufferable she had been tonight. or maybe she was just hearing things, maybe she was going insane.
