IF I CROSS THE ( LINE )

009 VERSE SC. hit the heart for a starter in aaron's 00 / mi6 verse!

born in scotland , aaron had been forced to move a lot as a child and yet he had only caught glimpses. his adoptive mother , paranoid - jumping from one place to another. london was the longest place aaron had lived ( and yet it still didn't feel like home - like his father , it seemed as if he spent most of his time running from something ). IF JAMES WAS TRULY GONE ; no , he would not accept he'd lost his father. not after years of secrecy and only now just getting to know him. HIS GAZE FOLLOW'S M ; her expression was impassive. he senses that he'll never truly know what she's thinking - if she even grieves for the agent that had given his life to six.

( he thinks she might - his father had often spoke highly of her , had trusted her , there had to be some kind of friendship there ). running fingers through unruly curls - the agent swallows the lump in his throat. "i have buried my father more times than i can count. i know you have too. we spend our lives waiting for him to walk through that door." & THERE'S SOMETHING BITTERSWEET ABOUT NEVER TRULY KNOWING. "i don't want to bury him again. im asking you to hold off on any funeral arrangements - until we know whether or not he died in that blast. my sister...." he thinks of mathilde , only six years old. she had already lost him 'once'. "we know how this goes , ma'am , she doesn't." HER QUESTION CATCHES HIM OFF GUARD. blinking , he glances back towards her.

Learning all that really matters is a slow and painful lesson , it is not pass or fail, but a poisonous progression. Try to micro-dose to immunity but you'll never, ever get it. I could build a tower with the times I was pretending, try to micro-dose to immunity but I'll never see the ending.

“I never noticed your eyes were this [colour].”

“Your heartbeat’s really loud.”

“You asleep?”

“I like this, being so close to you.”

“Your hair keeps falling into your eyes, do you know that? Here, lemme just—”

“You’re so, so, so pretty.”

“I just — I’m breathless, okay? Whenever I’m with you, it happens.”

“You make my heart beat so quick.”

“You always know how to make me smile.”

“You’ll always be safe with me.”

[Kisses the other on the cheek]

“Always.”

“I can’t imagine being anywhere but here with you.”

“All my choices lead me to you.”

“I’ll never give you up.”

“I sleep better if you’re around.”

“You snore in your sleep. But… it’s adorable, okay?”

“I like this. A quiet breakfast with you.”

“There’re billions of people on this planet, and I love you. How incredible is that?”

“I trust you.”

[Holds the other’s hand when they think the other won’t notice]

“You keep staring at me instead of watching the film. What’s up?”

“Let’s push all of these stuff away. I wanna dance here right now with you.”

“Are we really doing this? Are we really slow-dancing?”

“When you laugh like that, it just — you’re so beautiful, you know that?”

“No, sorry, you laughed. I … I never saw it before. It’s — pretty.”

“You haven’t laughed in a long time, and I guess I was staring ‘cause I forgot how that looked like.”

[Puts head on the other’s shoulder]

“I will never let you go.”

“You’re the best thing to have ever happened to me.”

“You wrote me a song?”

“You’ve got a fever. Of course I’m not going anywhere.”

[Suddenly feels around the bed to search for the other’s hand / body when they’re sleeping]

[Extends a hand when they see the other was searching for it while they’re sleeping]

“I just feel calmer. When I’m with you.”

“You’re not in bed. I came looking for you.”

“What are you doing up? Come to bed.”

“It’s weird. I never thought I could feel like this, but you showed up. Now, it’s like I don’t wanna go on knowing I might lose the feeling.”

“I don’t mind sharing the blankets with you.”

“You’re cold. Come here.”

“You always do that. You always warm me up.”

“Stay.”

“It’s getting crowded. Here, hold my hand.”

[Hugs for a very long time]

[Puts feet on the other’s lap]

“I’m so proud of you, you know that?”
