he needs to   say   something.   they've   been   hanging   out   for   a long time now   ,   so he   should   be   comfortable   enough   to   say   something   to   @denouemente.   of   course   ,   there   is   the   fear   of   rejection   ,   but   the   fear   of   him   not   wanting   to   be   his   friend anymore   is   even   worse   ,   as   he's   really   come   to   care   for   atticus   in   a   way   he   can't   ever   imagine   him   not   in   his   life.   mason   longs   to   tell   him   how   he   feels   ,   wants   to   let   him   know   just   how   much   he   means   ,   but   he   struggles   to   find   the   right   words   ,   which   is   silly   since   he's   usually   so   talkative   &   confident when around people he sees as friends.   deep   down   ,   the   insecurities   resonate   within   him   ,   &   now   they're   at   the   forefront   as   he's   met   with   this   tall   ,   handsome   journalist   who   makes   his   damn   heart   flutter & his face grow hot.   why   he   fell   this   hard   ,   he   can't   explain   ,   but   maybe   love   doesn't   need   an   explanation.   love   .   .   .   it's   too   soon   to   call   it   that.
Tumblr media
❝   thanks   for   meeting   me   at   work.   i   just   finished   my   shift.   ❞   mason   salutes   at   one   of   his   co   -   workers   before   leaving   the   café   area   to   meet   up   with   atticus   ,   smiling   nervously   up   at   him   as   he   approaches.   deep   breaths   ,   deep   breaths.   ❝   come   on.   let's   take   a   walk.   i   wanna   tell   you   something.   ❞   a   pause   ,   hands   waving around frantically as he realized how terrifying that must have sounded.   ❝   it's   nothing   bad   or   anything   ,   i   promise   !   i   just   wanna   .   .   .   talk   to   you   about   something   that's   been   on   my   mind.   ❞   he   blushes.   ❝   it's   been   on   my   mind   for   a   long   time.   ❞

@denouemente. call.
Balfour didn't hold back the loud yawn as he sprawled out across the sofa - and directly over Ásgeirr's lap. He positioned himself quite comfortably, feet hanging off the edge of the too-short sofa, over the arm. "You're quite a good pillow, actually."

"doctor?"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎their tone is empathetic,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎with the lingering curiosity that had her watched with adoration when she was only a child.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the picture of sophistication–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the future queen.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎only this time is that curiosity not pigeonholed into expectations‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎plans to keep a fourteen year old safe,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎now that questioning lingers on their tongue with an intertwined excitement that borders on selfish.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the doctor's features,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the doctor's tone,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it should concern them‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎maybe if they were more scared of demise it would,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎but there is no threat,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎nothing big enough,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎to scare her–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎if this moment should bring as much worry that is etched into @denouemente's shoulders,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎cheeks‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎eyes,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it doesn't scare them one bit).‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"what do you mean?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎is this not the planet you spoke of?"

@denouemente / conor: "i won't tell you how to feel."
she wants to laugh. it's bittersweet. she holds her tongue instead, leaning back in her seat, sitting with her thoughts. it's always funny when people say things like that, giving her the illusion of choice. as if it's up to her what she wants to do or say, as if there's no consequence. she doesn't say what she's really thinking: that it's all kind of bullshit either way.
"nice of you," genuine, because she figures he means it well. she won't be too cold about that. her hands tug at the hem of her skirt, needing something to fiddle with in conversation. "i'm undecided. on what i feel about most things."

❛ we’re not so different after all. ❜
Tumblr media
words ring through his very being, not so different after all. a fate he wouldn't wish upon anyone else. paid to fight until there was nothing left, either enemies would be eradicated or he would die trying. destinied to fight.     ❝ i sincerely hope not, ❞ he grunts, he was a disgraced bastard. a killer whose loyalty laid with the heaviest pay check. fingers flex at his side, sword strapped across his back - feels like missing a limb whenever they separate.     ❝ maybe it isn't too late for you, ❞ maybe there was a family still willing to take @denouemente in. he could only hope so, seen too many slain while seeking the next pay check.

❛ i felt your absence. ❜ 4 leia from jim
innumerable amount of stars line the sky, a collection of constellations greater than the eye can see. the galaxies endless, the adventures endless. she, the daughter of a rebellion, has no luxury of going this far — to see the sights he sees. the princess turned general is required to return to her duty, the one who can lead the rebellion, the heir to peace in the galaxy. he, the boy that adventures. captain kirk, a name synonymous with escapades that parallel even the greatest history books.
— this whirlwind game of strangers, friends, soulmates. a man and a woman. a princess and a captain. (@denouemente : kirk & leia)
❛  don't say such things. ❜ it tugs her heartstrings, the sheltered organ leia buries deep under layer of protection. how many have you lost princess? there is an late moon, a rare occurrence in their hidden planet, tucked away in endless stars with no close planets. her head leans against the captain's chest, hearing the thunder of his heartbeat. ❛ — it will make me miss you more. ❜ more than i can. more than i should.
how long do they intend to play a game they know ends in heartbreak?
❛  where are you off to next? ❜ the sadness in her voice carries, how leia dances over the request. her hands clasp against his, fingers intertwined. ❛  there is a — ball, for lack of better terms. perhaps you could make an appearance, at my request. a request for your attendance. ❜

how   long   has   it   been   since   he   last   saw   @denouemente   ?   mason   can't   seem   to   pinpoint   an   exact   number   of   weeks   or   months   as   he   watches   him   stride   into   his   apartment   ,   a   rare   place   for   them   to   spend   time   together   outside   of   the   bookstore he worked.   his   tall   form   sagged   &   slumped   as   he   crossed   the   threshold   into   his   small   living   room   ,   relief   filling   mason   as   he   watches   him   sit   on   his   couch   ,   no   doubt   exhausted   from   all   his   travelling.   he   had   only   just   gotten   back   today   ,   yet   he   isn't   spending   time   in   his   own   home   resting.   instead   ,   he   made   his   way   here   ,   made   his   way   to   his   place.   did   that   .   .   .   mean   something   ?   a   blush   creeps   across   mason's   cheeks   ,   but   he   tries   not   to   let the thought consume him too much.   thankfully   ,   atticus   seemed   too   tired   to   really   notice   any   sort   of   reaction   from   him   &   the   lights   in   his   living   room   were   too   dim   to   really   reveal   anything   from   his   face.   good   thing   too   ━━   mason   may   be   an   actor   ,   but   he   was   terrible   when   it   came   to   emotions   of   the   heart & it was becoming more clear each & every day just how strong his feelings for the journalist had grown like strong , thick vines up a stone wall.
Tumblr media
❝   you   look   like   you've   been   through   it   ,   ❞   mason   says   with   a   low   whistle   ,   taking   the   opposite   side   of   the   couch   as   he   watches   him   cautiously.   his   cat   ,   bumblebee   ,   takes   to   the   seat   nearest   to   atticus   &   purrs   loudly   ,   already   adjusted   to   his presence   in   mason's   life   ,   curling   in   close   to   steal   his   warmth.   mason   would   adore   the   scene   if   he   wasn't   so   focused   on   his   friend   ,   a   tad   bit   jealous   that   his   own   cat   could   get   close   to   him   ,   yet   he   still   feared   even   just   stretching   out   a   hand.   ❞   if   i   have   to   think   about   one   more   thing   today   ,   my   head   will   explode   ,   ❜   atticus   finally   speaks into the open air   &   then   it   all   clicks   in   mason's   mind.   somehow   ,   the   journalist   had   viewed   mason   as   some   form   of   calm   &   peace   ━━   someone   he   can   talk   to   or   even   just   be   around   without   feeling   as   though   the   world   was   on   his   shoulders.   if   it   were   the   bookstore   that   made   him   feel   that   peace   ,   he   would   have   gone   there & spoken to one of the many employees at shelf indulgence   ,   but   he   came   to   mason's   apartment   instead   &   decided   to   recharge   here   under   mason's   watchful   eye.   his   heart   warms   a   bit   as   the   pieces   form   in   his   mind   &   he   braves   his   fears   enough   to   gently   offer   a   hand   on   atticus'   shoulder   ,   kneading   the   tense   muscle   there   as   he   smiles   at   him   ,   at   his   friend.   ❝   well   lucky   for   you   ,   you   can   be   as   brainless   as   you   wanna   be   here.   ❞   mason   grins   ,   all   teeth & shining eyes.   ❝   take   a   load   off   &   we   can   talk   if   you   wanna   or   just   sit   in   comfortable   silence.   i   can   order   us   some   pizza   too   ,   if   you'd   like.   ❞   mason   moves   to   get   up   from   the   couch   to   grab   his   phone   to   order   their   food   ,   but   before   he   can   leave   completely   ,   he   looks   over   his   shoulder   at   atticus   &   smiles.   he   looked   good   here   in   his   apartment   .   .   .   he   could   get   used   to   him   visiting   here   more   often.   ❝   glad   you   made   it   back   from   wherever   secret   place   you   were   at   in   peace   ,   atticus   ,   ❞   he   grinned   ,   despite   a   whisper   of   a   voice   echoing   what   he   wanted   to   actually   say   ﹕ i missed you. i was worried about you.   ❝   you're   welcome   to   stay   here   as   long   as   you   like   ,   whenever   you   like.   ❞   forever   even.

@denouemente asked: “I should be writing this down.”
"Only if you want to get me in trouble." The words left Balfour's lips lightly. He knew Ásgeirr never would, that his words were spoken only in jest. There had never been a calm or average day at the Palace, at least not in Balfour's memory. Certainly not once Elisif began running the place - or, rather, before her court tried to rule through her instead. It was often exhausting. Balfour hated the vast majority of it, though he still wasn't fool enough to reject such a position of honour.
Some days also proved themselves ridiculous. The kind that he might laugh about afterwards, when he came home to Ásgeirr.
Tumblr media
"If Falk heard the things I said about him, he would kill me." He flashed a smile, even if the words held some truth. Balfour was a nuisance to most at the Palace - but hardy and difficult to be rid of. He was good at not giving them excuses. Teasing, then, and light, as he took Ásgeirr's face in his hands: "You would give him reasons to be rid of your beloved?"

beckon, sender beckons receiver closer with a finger. from alistair
Tumblr media
scarlet blooms across her freckled cheeks - heart fluttering at the simple gesture and the smugness of his grin. she wonders, sometimes, if this effect he has on her shall ever fade. in that moment it is so strong that she doubts that it ever will. it is not strong enough to compel her into obedience; not so quickly, anyway. though she smiles at him coyly, leaning against the door slowly until it latched shut behind her. "anyone else would lose that finger for such arrogance, you know," but he is not anyone else, is he? he is alistair, and he could get away with what she would not forgive in anyone else, so long as he gazed at her the way he was presently. she tips her head sweetly to one side, openly appreciating him with a slow salacious glance up his tall form before finally landing on his eyes. "there was a time when you couldn't even bring yourself to kiss me without blushing. now look at you."

@denouemente re:cullen liked for an inquisition era starter.
   the door opens and theo glances up. there in the doorway, limned in the syrup-heady dusklight, cullen cuts an impressive figure. expensive armour. fur mantle. high-backed leather chair and a heavy wooden desk. world's light on power-happy choir boys, apparently—given the way they keep promoting from within.
   the silence seems to tick like a clock. they stare at one another and hawke lets it stretch, taking the time to wonder if cullen is more or less impressive now than he'd been the day bethany had looked up, just like this, to see him standing in the doorway of their uncle's hovel on the reeking end of lowtown. hawke hadn't been there that day. if he had—
   "nice office," theo says conversationally, managing to land the faintly sarcastic tone of camaraderie he'd been aiming for in spite of his train of thought. he drops the stack of probably confidential reports he's been leafing through back onto the desktop—as casually as though it was his own expensive desk in his own expensive office. "needs better locks, though."

@denouemente said ; i appreciate you coming down here. from atticus for nancy
"of course!" nancy smiles over her cup of coffee and muffin as she leans forward in the booth of the small, 24 hour diner she's found herself in, "i mean, how could i resist? it sounds like you've found something really interesting, atticus." there's a certain gleam in her eyes. it's been called her case-hungry look by friends in the past. she has to be, to have jumped on a plane and flown here with little explanation other than a request for her presence, though it's far from the first time she's impulse purchased a plane ticket in the middle of the night.

@denouemente. call.
"Hm. You make it very hard for me to do my job when you look so handsome." Balfour narrowed his eyes at Ásgeirr, only teasing, before his gaze turned back out onto the crowd. Parties. He'd used to like these, before he had become Elisif's housecarl. Now, he was always on edge. But he could still smile for now. "I think, technically, that might be treason."
