wasn't exactly legal

“I know how that feels. Everything seems to calm down, and people stop targeting me. Then, boom, I misstep and everyone pounces on me. Also, chaos, and darkness appear to follow me. That’s the annoying thing about being named after a Fury, anger comes super easy to me. Almost too easy. Drama apparently happens everywhere, even the place you’re the most happy. Being here is much better than home, I’m sure of that. It feels so wrong, being so calm and happy, I’m just waiting for something to happen.”

Even to this day, Oliver couldn’t see WHAT Connor saw in him though he was grateful for whatever it was he did see. Normally the Hampton was invisible, never desired and never sought after but rather the consolation prize and before he met Connor, he had accepted that, that was all he’d ever be. But when Connor looked at him, it was like he actually SAW Oliver. Past his insecurities. Past the front that he put on to guard himself from getting hurt. Past his social anxiety. Connor looked at him like he was a man worth loving and no one had ever looked at Oliver that way before. “Well to be fair…I didn’t know the whole story until like recently. And then I sort of freaked when you did tell me. So don’t give me all of the credit. Besides…after everything we’ve been through…I think it’s pretty reasonable that we have a freak out or two…or a million…in my case. But you know I’m always here for you right? No matter what. Just…maybe…stay away from murders from now on, okay? Maybe now we can be an actual boring domesticated couple whose only major problems are who forgot to load the dishwasher.” He teased with a slight chuckle before sighing when he felt the other’s scrappy beard upon his cheek, nodding his head, “Have you met me though? I’m like…the king of worrying. It’s what I do. It just…seems all too good to be true. We got away just like that? No consequences whatsoever? You’re right though. I know you are. It’s just…suspicious is all.” But with every kiss that Connor lies upon his lips, he finds his worries and fears lessening. Though his eyes widen at his lover’s next words, unable to help as he pulls apart, “Wait…are you serious? Connor, I don’t want to pressure you or anything. Seriously, I’m okay with waiting as long as you want. Think about it because I know it’s crazy. I don’t want to make you do something that you don’t want to do.” Unable to stop the rambling even against Connor’s lips as he shakes his head, placing bracing hands upon the male’s chest. “Are you sure…this is what you want? No backsies.”

“don’t tell me what to do.” 

Oliver remained curled up against Connor, letting out a sigh as he already felt himself calming down, brows furrowing as he shakes his head, “Don’t say that. You’re like…the strongest person that I know.” He can’t help but stiffen at the cruel reminder of when his lover had gone missing, “But you’re obviously NOT the easiest to crack and we can’t really know why they chose to take you. It doesn’t matter now. You’re safe and you’re okay. We’re okay. Did we…really get away? This seems…too good to be true.” The male pulls away slightly, worried hues taking in the sight of Connor, jaw clenching at the mention of Connor saying that he wasn’t going to miss anyone else, knowing that wasn’t quite true. Still it might be good for Connor to get away from the whole Annalise group and now they finally had the chance to start over. “You’ll always have me.” The male reassured, knowing that their relationship had gone through many ups and downs but now Oliver was certain that it was meant to be him and Connor. It always would be. He gives a nod of his head, leaning forward to press his forehead against the male’s, reaching his hand up to caress Connor’s cheek, “I know. It’s just…us. This. What we have. It’s the only thing that makes sense.” He inhales, nudging his nose gently against his, “I…I thought I’d lost you. I thought…something bad had happened and with all of these deaths…It scared me. I don’t have to think anymore. I know I love you and I know I want to be with you the rest of my life.”

“In a movie, maybe” She said looking at him with a small smile “But in real life, I don’t know, I mean, we don’t really know”

“Yeah…sometimes that is for the best, at least for some people”

“How is this possible?” She didn’t quite understand, how the world went from apocalypse to how it was before. What she expected when she arrived in New York wasn’t what she got. It was a relief not to have to deal with walkers but it felt like she was several steps back when it came to finding AJ. “Is it over? The apocalypse. Is it over and done with?”

“well as far as i know there’s never been an apocalypse so i’m pretty sure we can say it’s over.” connor wasn’t the type to bite into the comic book loving nerds, except his boyfriend. because where else would you get a comic book from except a comic book.

He offers the stranger a slight grin at the laugh, “Doesn’t hurt to dream.” Hugo replies with another quick shrug of his shoulders, nodding his head, “Good thoughts in a world of bad are necessary.” Though they never seemed to outweigh the said bad, “You don’t have to. I mean I know we’re strangers and all but I’m a good listener. I like details. Hi. I’m Hugo.” Offering his hand out to the male.

THANK god he was safe was all that Oliver Hampton could think about as he held his lover in his arms. It was a bit ridiculous but he believed as long as he had his arms around Connor he could protect him from whatever harm the world would throw at them. He nodded his head, attempting to calm down his breathing and his anxious rambling as he pressed a gentle kiss upon the male’s temple, still gripping him rather tightly as he runs his hands up and down his back. “It’s Annalise we’re talking about. Her drama is everywhere.” He points out with a shaky breath, sighing slightly as he pulls back a bit, brown hues taking in the sight of him to make sure he was in fact OKAY, “I’m just glad you’re okay. I was afraid you had gotten kidnapped again or something.” Though all of his fears seem to vanish when he feels Connor’s lips pressing against his, smiling slightly, “Well it’s not California but you’re right. We escaped.” He nods his head at the other’s response, “Right…I just…Yeah. I know. Take your time. Ignore me. I’m just…freaking out a little.”

Connor hadn’t always been so needlessly aggressive, but he’d built up to that after years of being given every reason to act in such a manner. This particular run in, though, had him hesitating. He had grown accustomed to those he lashed out at being frightened or at the very least put off by the behavior, but this guy wasn’t backing down and that both fascinated and unnerved him. He looked up from where he sat on the bench, carefully eyeing the other male before making his next move. He wasn’t quite so skilled at non-aggressive interactions as he would have liked, he’d never really been given a chance. “Looking around the park, or scouting for dudes?” he shot back, not really sure why he was being at all aggressive but feeling like it was necessary. 

allison nods at the words, knowing exactly what the other meant. new york, oddly, was a safe haven. sure, it didn’t help her escape the supernatural part of her life, but it did keep her safe from certain drama, which was more than enough for her. “ i know what you mean. almost feels wrong being so calm and settled, doesn’t it ?? ”

“yeah, sorta like you’re just waiting for the next bad thing to jump out at you.” he still couldn’t see a police car go past without flinching, wondering when it was gonna be them who got caught. whether they deserved to be caught. the tangle of lies was get too big for connor to unknot anymore.
