“It doesn’t really matter for me, I have a hyperactive metabolism. I just like to eat, that’s about it. What do you prefer then instead of pizza?” Wally asks the woman with a grin.

scott quietly knocked on emma’s office. he was in the process of catching up with the rest of the team and emma was next. “i know you’re busy but do you mind if i come in. i’ve got some things i need to run past you.” nothing too tedious, just some lesson plans. he would have brought the danger room simulations but kaia insisted that this would be her thing and that she could handle it alone. “nothing bad i promise. only if you’re available. i know how annoyed you get when someone walks in on you.”

it is only the fact that she’s able to feel scott approaching before the knock that keeps her hand steady as she reapplies a pink tint to her lips. with almost anyone else, anyone less familiar, she would’ve been startled, jolted the tube of pigment off-bounds and been. extremely. upset.

[ text >> FROST, emma ] — is that sentiment im hearing? [ text >> FROST, emma ] — im shocked emma  [ text >> FROST, emma ] — paragon’s not half bad [ text >> FROST, emma ] — plus most of us are here and the kids. feels like home.

Because I asked around what there is to do and people said camping. CAMPING, Emma. [ text >> ✉️ >> Emma💙 ] —— None of these kids are getting properly cultured it’s a shame

“well - i'spose i shoulda guessed you wouldn’t,” it’s not a jab, though. far from. gaze taking in the woman before her, from her pretty blonde head down to her business woman chic shoes, romy couldn’t help but think that she really should have looked up sooner. after hours focused only on the motorbike she was now rising from behind, making her way closer to her toolbox, there was nothing like a pretty lady to give her eyes a break. “this rusty ‘ol thing is a wrench,” she snatched up the wrench she’d needed, hefting its weight to make sure she saw before letting her hand fall back to her side, “you might need’ta know that, someday. just in case you needa change your own tire or something.”

she preens a little, reveling in the attention. petal-pink lips curve up into a smile that’s almost smug — emma swears she can feel the way the brunette’s eyes rake over her. her image is meticulously crafted each morning before she leaves her apartment, and nothing short of perfect is acceptable. good to know her efforts were appreciated.

❝ God, what if we just fucked one day? ❞ @cmmafrcsts

brutal and oft public humiliation : emma frost’s most obvious kink. kitty knew this would come and yet she still found herself unprepared ( to put it mildly ) once those words slipped right past unfiltered glossy lips. ❝ m’pretty sure i’d lose a BET. ❞ if only she were lying.

          she had heard whispers about emma frost and had read up a few things about her, but will refused to pass any sort of judgement on the woman before actually getting to know her. gossip and files never really seemed to get the full story of anyone’s life. so when emma smiled at her, will took that as a good sign. “ i would love to grab some lunch together, whenever you’re ready.”

it’s — refreshing, to say the least. having to work with someone who’s an equal, someone who doesn’t approach her with all the baggage of her usual reputation. ( though who can blame anyone for that? ) emma’s just grateful she can meet someone and figure that relationship out on a clean slate.

“Please tell me there’s some decent pizza around here.” Wally could technically run anywhere to get it, but that wasn’t the point. “I’ll take anything at this point, what’s good?” 

──   continued from x. with @cmmafrcsts​ !

       it wasn’t who she expected to enter her office, and she suddenly regretted her words. with a frustrated sigh, dinah threw down her pen, relaxing back into her chair.

      ❝ sorry, emma. you’re not who i thought would come in ── i suppose i shouldn’t say that to a student either. just forget it, what’s up? ❞

*/ @cmmafrcsts   said: “ you have no shame, do you? ”

the boy tilted his head, a mischievous grin tugging at his brims as he just shrugged. what could he say anyway? some things just couldn’t be denied. “honestly? not really, no. i can’t take all the laurel, though. i’m pretty sure i’m just another one in a long line of shameless starks. it does have plenty of perks, though. like helping me doge half of the teenage angst bullshit,” he rambled in true leo stark’s fashion.
