leave these words unspoken

“I beg to differ. My voice is calming opposed to your brash, incredibly loud gibberish when you’ve had too much to drink.” She opened her mouth, lightly tugging on his lip as she pulled away. “None of this comes free you know.”

“If you think I am loud you’ve never head yourself in bed, lass.” A low laugh hummed against their lips, and while she pulled away he made sure to keep her close. “Well if I’m not willing to give up the whiskey what is it that you want?”

“I’ll share a glass with you if that’s what it takes. Maybe my kisses will taste better with the whiskey. I feel like you’re trying to make me prove a point here, Alec.”

“They always are better with the taste of whiskey. But maybe that is because your accent isn’t quite as piercing when drunk,” he teased kissing her lightly. “I absolutely am.”

“My kisses are top notch too. Or have you forgotten already?”

“That may have earned you a sip or two. Maybe I am glorifying the past but I think you used to kiss much better than that.”

“Oh, you think my kisses aren’t good enough? What happens if you find out they’re worth more than a shot?”

“This is top-shelf stuff, Sassenach. It has to be a hell of a kiss to come close to deserving a drop.”

“What would you say to a kiss for a shot?”

“I think I might need to sample first before I can agree.”

Chloe: Well, no. The plan is to settle mid-April but the good thing is that I'm in my apartment lease until June, so I'll have time to go in and get everything cleaned and painted plus at least start the master and kitchen without having to move any furniture in. That way I'll at least have a place to sleep and a way to make food if it takes longer than expected. Actually yes. It gave me these faux farmhouse vibes so it'll be catered to that aesthetic except a little more modern and a little less rustic.

“I’m sure I could come up with something to trade you for if you prefer that.”

“Well I would have to hear what it is you have to trade.”

Madden: You’re cute. Kissing you would be really nice right now. How are you holding up?

“Fair enough,” she laughed, taking a step closer when his hand fell to her hip. “I think you’ve got dessert covered,” she said, nodding towards the bottle of alcohol in his hand. “It should. I’m probably the person you need to stay the farthest from since I’m still working. I’m sure you’ll be able to survive without me for a month or three.” 

“Appetizer,” he corrected her, only pulling her in closer. For as many times as he told himself to put a restriction on this but the moment she was in front of him that fell away. “I had a different craving. Something much sweeter,” he kissed her neck before pulling back. Alec’s eyes went a bit wide at her comment. “I’m probably immune I’ll be fine. Unless you are using this as an excuse to end things with me cause seems convenient.”

“So you’re admitting you’re not the fittest?” 

“Am I the fittest I’ve ever been? No, but I don’t think you need to worry about doing wellness checks on me just yet.”

“Well you should have grabbed some more.”

“Oh you should just go and open up my cabinets.”

“I think most things are going to become take out only so you’re going to be able to live your dream.” 

“Half the time I eat in my car anyway so not a lot will change for me.”

“No need for food or anything? I’m all for the tequila and whiskey but I think some food is needed.”

“It’s different for us Scottish folk. We were born to live off of this since being a wee babe,” Alec joked with a smile.

“Is there fluoride in that shit or nah? Might be killing two birds,” Finn kept his expression straight with a small shrug. “Full bar.. a man who knows how to live.”

“Exactly. Just swish it around a bit and all my hygienic needs are covered,” Alec matched the tone of the other. “Exactly. Besides if the end of the world is coming, God knows I’m not going to go through it sober.”

“Are you this distrusting with everyone or am I special?”

“This is just you. But if wrapping it up in a special makes ye feel better, go for it.”

Shanley: Well... in all honesty I feel like it'd be rude of me to try and deny that statement completely either.
