" mhm, she insisted ... " he hummed as he felt the presence of the other next to him. gaze did not even have to land on him to realize he was there. aurelio did not doubt that his sister got everyone in line for her summer plans but he was glad she did. dark hues followed the stone as it broke the calm of the waters surface. " so she had to drag you here then. "
did this mean that this summer would be anything like the last one? maybe it was selfish but he wished it would. memories of late night swims, hikes to explore the woods and shared laughs. " i'm glad you decided to come. " head turned and he met his gaze for the first time.

❛ it would. i kinda know it to be a fact, kenya. ❜ malakai was very head strong about a lot of things, one thing in particular was his relationship with kenya. he was okay with her just wanting to be friends right now, because it told him that she still wanted him near. whether she was with him or not.
❛ no, don't ‘kai’ me. i came here with her and yet i'm standing here with you, telling you that you come before her. ❜ he paused, eyes darting towards her. ❛ if that doesn't mean something, then i don't know what does. ❜ he was sick of pretending. of acting like the girls he would mess around with could even compare to kenya. none of them could. once he realized that kenya's eyes were on his… situation at the moment, he sighed. ❛ you don't have to stare bullets into her, y'know. ❜
emotions mixed inside her body. butterflies but also the nauseating truth that he was with someone else. she wished it was easy. or maybe she wished she would make it easy ... take a leap of faith and hope that he would catch her. but what would happen when reality kicked in? would they realize that it had been a big mistake? wasting a friendship for the dream of true love.
" you make it sound like it's supposed to be romantic. " she bit back quickly. it kind of was. femme turned to look him in the eye, " it's easier to look at her than to look at you. " because then it wasn't as easy to act unbothered. dark hues studied his face for a moment. the sharp line of his jaw, the bridge of his nose and those eyes. " you'd do it? " let's the question linger in the air between them for a second. " you'd tell her it was over, right now, if ... if i wanted you to? "
continued ... for @pomsoju.
the burn of her words left an ache in his chest. when summer came around he felt the most alive ─ the most himself. their families became side characters as they went off on their own adventures. it was just them, the beach and the sunset. nothing else mattered. then the fall came with it's crispy winds and reminding them that they needed to get back to reality once again.
" one last time ... " words felt like venom on his tongue. " can't do what exactly? " if she was going to put an end to everything ... then he wanted to hear her say it. otherwise his mind would concince himself that he had made the whole thing up.

─ for the wonderful @angelsdvsts.
her period was a little late but it had happened before. especially since giving birth it had been irregular. the doctors said that was normal. she just got this feeling that something was up and had to check. the blonde opened the bathroom cabinet and reached for a pregnancy test she knew that she still had laying around. she didn't quite believe it could be possible. she peed and waited anxiously for it to develop. bare feet paced back and forth until the timer on her phone rang. it was late and alex wasn't home yet. flynn flinched when her phone told her that time was up. " oh god no ... " two dark lines appeared on the stick and the tears welled up in her eyes.
the baby was fast asleep already and she sat down on the couch. she was just so god damn tired. being a mother was the greatest thing she had done with her life even though she never thought she'd have a family. alex walked into her life and gave her the fairytale she had always dreamed of. still she doubted her abilities to be a good mother. anyone could be a mother but be a good one? that was the tough part. he assured her everyday but after years of growing up hearing you were worth nothing ... it took a toll on a girl. fuzzy blanket were wrapped around herself as she waited for the familiar sound of him walking through the door. she wanted a big family for them but she wasn't sure she was strong enough. hands wiped over her cheeks to dry her face. thoughts continued to spiral until he got home. " alex ... " weak voice called out for him from the couch.
" i thought you weren't coming this year. " his words cut through the sounds of the waves hitting the rocks. eyes didn't move from the water but he knew it was them. they knew each other inside out but would they even be described as friends anymore?
god had he missed them. the summer by the lake wouldn't be the same without them. the cozy small town just felt ... incomplete. " i heard your family wasn't sure if they would make it. "

mason knew he could count on oliver to dilute his delusions and pull him out his magenta veiled perspective to the dullness of reality. he wanted to chuckle at his friend’s response for it to be a silent surrender. before it could flare his already shaken nerves. if he wasn’t questioning reality at the moment he would’ve gave his friend an earful of mindless ramble.
the worker’s mind had been set — an endeavor not regarding the store itself but what lies internally. last night footsteps had reached a limited amount bandwidth of the carpeted labyrinth, the soft buzz of the yellow tinted florescent lighting had burned itself within his eardrums as a lingered jeer to remind him of his cowardice retreat. “ no. “ the quick shot decline came with partial panic, but been packaged away late. mason cleared his throat then two fingers went across his own lips to sooth the tempertment, “ i- i can do inventory. the first floor is . . . “ words severed by the sounds of flickered lights in the distance of the store, he could feel the atoms in the air shift towards the stairs of the lower level. a call mason felt b͟e͟c͟k͟o͟n͟e͟d͟ t͟o͟ a͟n͟s͟w͟e͟r͟. “ yours. “ the final stamp on the contest of who has the most generosity. the bulge of mason’s addams apple rose then fell, “ there’s a lot going on with inventory right now — and i think your pretty face fits the front more than mine. “ a quick glance to their bags that shared the same space, parallel to them, then were brought back to this company. his own concealed gear with the intent to explore. inner impulse had been rushed, “ oli, i don't think the big guy is coming back any time soon. and i don't mean ' the rich selfish asshole that blew through another business ' kind of gone ; there's something fucking off. “
the secrets of the store were still unknown to oliver. he did not realize the danger that was lurking underneath the surface. " mason ... are you sure? you seem weird ... i don't know. " a shrug followed his words. " i don't want you to work yourself out man. " something wasn't right but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. " alright. if you say so. "
brows knitted together in confusion as he spoke again. " what do you mean gone? like he's abandoning ship? " he teased as a chuckle slipped between his lips. " okay fine. i see you're serious. so what, he's giving up? this place hasn't made money since ... wait ─ has he ever made money on this shit? " oliver sold a couch a few weeks back but that was pretty much it for income this last month. " then we should get the hell out before we can. if he goes bankrupt we won't get our salaries paid. "
bites the bottom of her lip while looking up at him, a soft, rare smile pulling at the corners of her mouth as she nods in agreement. feels a , sharp ache settle behind her ribs at how completely the roles have inverted. the very person she had chosen to be a mere pawn in her scheme, a tool meant exclusively to weaponize against her parents' clinical expectations, has transformed into the only anchor holding her steady. she had sought him out for passing entertainment, a brief distraction to pass the time, yet he remains the solitary figure refusing to abandon her wreck while the rest of her gilded world falls away into silence.
settles her palm directly on top of his ]hand, her fingers pressing into his knuckles as she turns her gaze toward the dark, dirt-streaked glass of the window. the passing streetlights throw long, fractured shadows across her face, mirroring the heavy guilt that suddenly populates her thoughts. tracking the unfamiliar streets, she realizes the weight of her own selfishness; she had played with his devotion like a cheap toy, never expecting his honesty to be the exact thing that would leave her feeling so exposed and small.
follows him closely out of the bus and into the narrow corridor of his neighborhood, the cracked pavement and low, dim lighting completely foreign to the pristine, guarded spaces she has known her entire life. the sheer vulnerability of the area makes her step nearer to his side, locking both of her hands securely around his forearm to hold him as tight as she can manage. “ you shouldn’t walk here alone at night, ” she says suddenly, her voice dropping into a protective murmur. looks around the dim alleyways, her nose wrinkling with a flicker of habitual disgust as her shoe executes a sharp, deliberate skip to avoid an innocent puddle left behind by the afternoon rain. “ do you often work late ? ” asks, her dark eyes searching his face with a sudden, anxious curiosity, needing to understand the reality he is so willingly offering to share with her.
continued with @darklodge
the neighbourhood was alright, some shady people at the outskirts but nothing too bad. he'd never had an issue since moving there years back. it was quiet and not much else could be heard but barking dogs. " it's all fine baby. i've been doing it for years. " he leaned down and placed a soft kiss against the top of her head. " yeah sometimes. " he shrugged as he lead them through a shortcut between the buildings. " sometimes we skate at this abandoned warehouse downtown. during the nights we can stay there for however long we want. the security guards don't even bother trying to kick us out anymore. "
free hand reached for the keys in his pockets are the reached his building. he punched in the code for the entrance. tiled stairs took them up to the third floor and his apartment. " here we are. " key is pushed in the lock and he held up the door to let her go in first. " you hungry or anything? i think i have some leftover pizza in the fridge from yesterday. " keys jingled as they hit the counter and he pushed off his shoes. " maybe a cup of tea and a movie? " he'd learned to become soft ever since he met her. it was easy to only care about yourself ─ it was a different thing to care about someone else. to put someone higher than your own selfish needs. he went around his studio apartment and lit some of the lights, it looked quite cozy at night actually. " tell me what you need right now baby. " he looked at her, defeat tainting his body language. "i feel bad. this is my fault ... for loving you. "

the answer provided acted as safety net — familiar in tone but a response he could rely on. close to reality while he still had it. “ i can think of a few people that like their job . . . “ the response barely audible, lacked the heart for a humored pull but his words were solid in stability to keep active in the conversation.
the attempt was structured with a pathetic form, and the lie remained stationed at the back of his throat. mason couldn’t find the appropriate assortment in time, “ i know, i know, you’ve been here all day, and you’re being a͟s͟k͟e͟d͟ ͟ t͟o͟ ͟ h͟e͟l͟p͟. again. fuck it, i’ll throw in a chunk of my check — i just need someone else in the store with me, tonight. please. “ mason’s oxygen had ran short mid way through his sentence at the realization. fingers tightened their wrap around the cut shaped metal. azure had finally met oliver, bags had developed over night as an added shadow for his gaze, “ you have no idea, oli, like . . . i think i’m actually going insane. “ the cautious line of an unwrapped truth had blurred, his judgement tilted on whether to admit the eerie discovery about the workplace.
" well ... this one is not one of them. " it could be worse though, couldn't it? they could be flipping burgers at mcdonalds for some shit pay. the store paid alright and they didn't have to do much. it was better than nothing. oliver leaned against the side of the counter as he looked at him.
" fuck mase ... " digits pushed his hair out of his forehead as he exhaled deeply. " i'll stay ─ keep your money. " it looked like the guy needed a break. " come on, you need a break. you know what, go home and i cover this one? get some sleep and you'll feel brand new again. " oliver dropped his bag behind the counter again. " and the inventory? i'll do it tonight so you don't have to think about it. "
♬ ⋆ . ˚ continued from here for @darklodge
❛ maybe you should've. if you would've, maybe shit would be different. ❜ nothing lingered in his tone, he was beyond straightforward about his feelings towards kenya. she deserved nothing less from him.
❛ yeah.. she is pretty, ❜ a quick glance was all it took for kai, it reassured every thought in his brain. ❛ she still ain't you. i'd leave her the second you told me to. ❜ complete nonchalance nestled in his tone, he cared very little to tell little lies to kenya. he knew that she knew better than that. so there was no point. kai wasn't this toxic person, but he wasn't ready to let kenya go just yet. and he had to make sure she knew that she'd continue to have a piece of him.
maybe things would have been different but his honesty wasn't as easy to handle as it seemed. people, men, said one thing but really wanted another. it was easier to keep him as a friend than let the dream of something more destroy what they had. not everyone could get that fairytale. " would it? "
" kai ... " sharp eyes moved to look at him. " don't say that ─ you came with her tonight. that means something. " he wasn't the only one to blame though. she'd gone through her fair share of suitors just to try to find someone who could make her feel something. it never lasted long with any of them though. hand pushed her dark locks over her shoulder as gaze moved to his girlfriend again.

the keys to the building had been clutched in the tightened hold of his knuckles, stomach had been turned and dragged by the loom of dread and memorized flashes of last nights findings. mason's last line of sanity resembled a thread, torn by his o͟w͟n͟ ͟ j͟u͟d͟g͟e͟m͟e͟n͟t͟ if the store harbored more than it appeared. " i . . . i just really hate my fuckin' job. " the worker's exhale escaped with a forced sense of normalcy . a storm brewed behind the gaze of cerulean, " i have the night shift, and i dunno if the big guy is going to be there tonight, i could use some help. "
" well, who likes their fucking job? it's not supposed to be fun mase. " it was the most boring shit to sit around in a stupid store that no one even visited. the prices weren't enough to get customers to spend their money.
" you need help? with what? we can do the inventory when i get here on monday again. " he let out a sigh as arms came to cross over his chest. " i doubt the big guy is gonna pay for me to be here. " time was precious and the money was needed. " what is up? like honestly, you look like shit. has it been a hard week or what? " he would rather have his friend tell him straight what was going on. oliver should be careful what he wished for though. the truth was not what he would expect it to be.
open to: femme / nb ! from: malakai flores. twenties. f1 racer. plot: in source.
❛ she's uh.. she's great. but she's not you, ❜ his expression was unmoving, but there was a slight shift of his head, turning to their direction. ❛ i think you know that though. ❜ nonchalantly, he rose his cup back up to his lips, sitting in the moment of silence that washed between the two.
" i know ─ i could have told you that a long time ago though. " the two women were like night and day but it did not make it any easier to see them together. maybe it would've been easier if she saw something of herself in the other femme.
" she's pretty ... real pretty. " a striking beauty that would make anyone turn their head if she walked by. " she must have something i don't, i'm sure. " otherwise they would be together right now, wouldn't they? they would be attending the party together, hand in hand and all cozied up.
sets a small, slow smile against the corners of her mouth, finding the chaotic unraveling of his temper entirely charming. the sudden tight fracture in his composure acts as a quiet temptation. feels an intoxicating urge to completely dismantle his reality, to tear down the walls of his life just to keep that frantic, pretty look pinned across his features for a little while longer. “ but i thought you said we were nothing. why should i care if it ruins you ? ” she taunts. tilts her head to the side, letting her gaze lock onto his with an irritatingly sweet expression designed specifically to needle his nerves rather than offer a single shred of comfort.
lets out a low, amused chuckle, allowing her body to follow without resistance when his fingers tighten around her skin to drag her out onto the empty patio. steps onto the cold concrete, her posture relaxed despite the sudden shift. “ that's why i want it more, ” she states simply, the admission falling between them with a quiet, dangerous weight. pushing past his rigid boundaries and grasping for the precise things she is forbidden to touch serves as a twisted sanctuary —— spent a lifetime being thoroughly deprived of ownership, hollowed out by a world that left her with nothing, and now she handles her cravings by demanding the impossible. “ not possible ? ” she repeats, letting the syllables hum low against her teeth while a predatory spark ignites deep within her dark eyes.
“ well, if everyone at this party finds out your little secret, you won't have anyone else left but me, ” she notes, her tone perfectly even as she closes the physical distance between them. lets her fingers rest near the opening of his pocket, her pulse remaining remarkably steady under his furious glare. “ so it isn't really that impossible after all. now is it, aurelio ? ”
continued with @darklodge
he has worked hard to run from his last name. the accetta family had plenty of skeletons hidden in the closet. many things done wrong that would forever stain them. something aurelio had tried to run away from. he was not a good man, he knew that, but he was not as bad as his brother and father. " and when you have it? then what? " wouldn't she just get bored and ruin his life anyway? he had created a life for himself that he was somewhat proud of. getting an education, his own apartment and his own friends. now it was all in jeopardy because of her.
hazel hues scanned her features. every move of hers felt calculated now. " you'll get bored of me. " he stated and he was sure of it. if she won this game and he caved in ... then what? he wasn't better than any other guy at this party. " i'm nothing special ─ you know that. " it was clear that she wasn't dumb. he was just another college guy with too much of an ego who liked sleeping with pretty women. " i don't get it. "

“ well, sorry miss lady for my humble home, ” mutters with a dry, drawling breath, setting the glass base of the lamp flat against the wood. takes no real offense to her sharp tongue, but the sudden silence that follows feels far too large in the dim room. heavy weather always makes the quiet feel thicker, bringing an unwanted weight to the dark corners of the house. olivia used to hate storms like this, always humming her favorite melody under her breath to drown out the heavy rattle of the windowpanes. the complete absence of that familiar sound leaves a strange, hollow space between the floorboards. “ sounds like a stupid and privileged thing to do, ” notes bluntly, leaning forward on the stool with his elbows resting on his knees. out here in the county, nobody gets the luxury of just hiding beneath the covers when a line of dark clouds rolls over the ridge. a storm means securing the loose tin on the barn, checking the stock in the pasture, and laying down sandbags before the driveway washes out completely.
listens to her question about the house. his gaze shifting toward the soft, flickering amber flame of the oil lamp. “ not that long. dad passed maybe ten, twelve years back, ” says softly, the words coming easily enough. talking about his father is a simple, settled thing, far different from the fresh, jagged ache that comes with mentioning olivia. “ but i pretty much lived here since i was nothing but a tiny scrap of a boy. ” a sudden, violent crack of thunder shakes the wooden foundation of the porch outside, followed immediately by a sharp flash of white lightning that cuts through the cracks in the shutters. rises from the stool and steps over to the window, peering out into the sheets of dark rain. “ dang, i knew it was gonna be a big one, but i didn't know it'd hit like this. ” takes a small comfort in knowing he secured the perimeter before the sky broke open.
turns back toward the couch, his shoulders dropping slightly as he looks over at her. “ there ain't much i can offer you in a place like this, but giving you a dry roof over your head oughta be enough to count as that southern hospitality folks are always talking about.” lets his gaze settle on her face, curiosity replacing the gruff edge in his voice. “ you visiting your grandma's funeral, or just her grave ? ”
" it is humble alright. " she mumbled underneath her breath. if he wanted to continue his rudeness ... so would she. for a moment she had given him the benefit of the doubt after hearing what he had gone through but to what extent? he was just a rude stranger after all. " or what normal people do. you should try it sometime, instead of walking around with that stick up your ass. " arms came to cross over her chest as she leaned back into the cushion. maybe it was better to go to bed than continue talking to him.
eyes drifted to look at him as he sat down. she could not quite imagine him running around this house as a little boy. femme jumped at the crack of lightning surprising them both. " jesus christ. " now she wished she was home and in bed but no, she had to be stuck in the middle of nowhere while a storm rolled in. still her hands shook from fright even though she tried to hide it. " that's enough for me. " low words disappearing behind the violent rain outside. " it's ugh ... the funeral was a few weeks ago but she left her house to me. " she wanted to visit her grave but she wasn't sure if she could. it felt too ... final. if she refused to acknowledge the loss of her grandma then she could pretend like she was just on a trip somewhere. not that she ever left the house but ... it would made things easier. " i'm getting the keys tomorrow. " arms wrap around herself in an attempt to soothe her racing heart. " that's why i'm here. " the thunder rumbled again and it felt like deafening. " where ─ where can i stay? i should get to bed. "
@darklodge / " since i saw you walk in . " it's cutting , spat from an upturn of lips that is nasty in nature . doesn't know how to be friendly when he's feeling like this : he's not in control of his emotions , has no idea how to hide them and not make a scene . this whole building could burn down and he wouldn't give a damn . how is he so good at it — not giving a shit ? is it really this easy for him to witness him with somebody else ? could break into laughter that he's going insane while the other is cool as a cucumber . it really is a testament to their relationship . takes a long , greedy chug of his drink , throat working around the burn of liquor as he tilts his head back and allows every drop to empty before he responds . " maybe . why , you hoping for a shot with her ? knock yourself out , bud . m'sure she'd love to take you for a ride . " who wouldn't ? took one look at him in that suit and dreamt of using that tie around his wrists . clears his throat , jaw setting as he follows his lead and looks away . doesn't know if he can do this , but he does know that he shouldn't have come tonight . it was proving to be a mistake . alongside expecting nikolai to change his mind about his girlfriend when all they've ever been is a dirty secret behind closed doors . head nearly snaps at his request , brows furrowing and gaze pinching as he stares at his side profile . i've missed you . it's a sucker punch to his gut , throat tightening and adams apple bobbing unsteadily around a swallow . doesn't say anything for far too long to be normal but he's offering a curt nod of his head , sniffing as he pivots on his heel and walks down the corridor leading towards the elevator . " you're going to miss the ceremony . " says , not bothering to check if he's behind him or not as index stabs the up arrow button leading to the rooftop . " now's your chance to run back . "
he really wanted to believe if he buried himself in someone else then roman would disappear from his mind. if he played the part of happy boyfriend and star athlete ... then his feelings would fade until they were nothing. honestly he thought he could get through the show without caring if the other was there. eyes drifted to meet his gaze. " she's not really my type. " even though he wished she was. nikolai was set on dark hair, broad shoulders and a great ass.
the words are heavy and he knows he'll regret saying them in the morning. still he could not deny their sincerity. chest ached when the silence lingered between them. niko had overstepped and now he might've fucked it up forever. their secret hookups had become a routine in his life now. a bad habit he didn't want to quit. for a split second he's sure that he'll walk away without a word but at what feels like the last second he moved towards the elevator. lips are pressed into a thin line as he followed, standing beside him in the small elevator. " i don't care. " his whole life he'd held on tightly to prizes and medals which ended up making him feel no better. elevator doors closed and he doesn't move. still he wondered if he'd made a mistake being so ... vulnerable. they usually just took turns with pissing each other off and bossing around the other in bed. nothing quite so serious were said so casually.
elevator brought them up to the empty rooftop. everyone was busy mingling and getting ready to sit down for the ceremony. player of the year was supposed to be announced for the masses. did niko think he would win? yes. there was a few other nominees of course ─ roman being one of them. 2025 had been the kournikov year, the points had been higher than ever and everyone had noticed. none of it really mattered. he had no idea who he was anymore, if he ever knew. it somehow just felt easier when they were together. it felt like he could let himself be. the crispy night air felt nice as it filled his lungs. much better than the sticky nauseating feeling downstairs. " so ... " he was no sure what to say when it felt like he'd said too much already. body came to a stop and hues drifted to roman.
