hello gamers like this to plot
❝ Shut it. I don’t want to hear one word out of your mouth about this. ❞ So eloquently spoken as he awkwardly settles himself on Sampo’s lap. The tavern is overly crowded, and he’s here to do reconnaissance on someone who’s not Sampo ( for once ).
ITS HARD TO RESIST THE TEASE —-— wanting to poke and prod at gepard; wanting to make the other BRIGHT RED. it’s so, irresistible. especially when the blond is right here in his lap. his hands naturally go to support gepard, resting on his hips. it’s a crowded place, no one’s paying attention to them. and it’s why sampo’s eyes are LAZER FOCUSED on the man in front of him. undercover missions are simply a specialty for him, he can adapt to any part he needs to. “ — awh c’mon. ” a pause as he pulls gepard even closer. “ y’know how hard it is for me to keep my mouth shut! ”
that’s the truth, especially around the blond. he loves to talk… he loves to run his mouth. especially in scenarios like this. “ but i guess i can try to BEHAVE. even though your makin’ it awfully difficult. ” there’s almost a whine in his voice. he’s finding it really difficult to PLAY NICE. again, he wants to poke at the other. wants to see what he can manage before gepard forgets about the job he’s here for. it’s always been part of their game.
ITS BEEN TOO LONG —-— he’s simply been gone too long. and fuck does it get under his skin. but UNFORTUNATELY that’s the live he leads. constantly moving, constantly working to the bone. and while he does his best to ignore it, it’s something he can’t quite ESCAPE from. but those aren’t things he needs to worry about… not right now. especially now that he’s been reunited with spencer, and for once the hotel actually seems nice.
boots are kicked off almost immediately before falling FACE FIRST into the bed. quick to roll over, eyeing the other down. “ — would it make me sound lame if i said i missed ya? ” he’s never prone to show SINCERITY, but this is him at least making an attempt. trying to sound sweet while making a bad joke; the signature ‘ KOSKI STYLE! ’ he can’t help but stare, wanting to drink in the other’s features. wanting to make sure he didn’t forget anything while he was gone. “ because i did. i really missed you spence… more than words can explain. ”
surprise for @lichthey !
blanket draped form, cover sheet hanging loosely over. five minutes ago, spencer had been blissfully unaware of sampo's return - pulled deep into slumber. the lack of the relic hunter & partnership had taken a toll. no one else really clicked right, no matter the pairing. none around knew nor meshed quite like him. now the foxian practically throws themself at him, clawed fingers attempting to pull bodies even closer. there's safety & comfort in his scent.
❝ shut up. ❞ they mutter as nose burrows itself into the bend of his neck. ears flatten against the crown of their head. ❝ nothin' 's th' same without ya'. never leave me like that again. ❞
THERE ARENT ENOUGH WORDS IN ANY LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE THE WAY HE FEELS —-— not in this moment. the way his body warms up the second spencer gets close. warmth… love, words he NEVER DARED to think about before meeting the fox. it’s almost embarrassing to admit that he can feel the frost melting away from his emotions. sometimes it’s enough to make his head spin. “ — awh i love ya more. ” there it is, that teasing tone.
hand moves the rest on the other’s head. light touches against spencer’s ears. being as gentle as he can manage. “ you know i didn’t want to leave, im just glad i made it back in ONE PIECE. ” there’s a kiss to the top of the other’s head, mumbling his words. it’s true, he hates leaving. but he fears coming back even more. he fears the potential of coming back to BAD NEWS. he fears… he fears losing the other.
good morning gamers, it’s storming pretty bad and i have to leave for work in like an hour!

SPIDER-MAN PROMPTS * assorted dialogue from the 2002 film
this is my gift, my curse.
i'm not like you. you're a murderer.
that's all i have to give.
a bit of a slob, isn't he?
now get outta here.
i chose my path, you chose the way of the hero.
i missed the part where that's my problem.
believe in me, as i believed in you.
i resent that.
hey, what the hell?
i'll give you two hundred bucks for all of 'em.
this is why only fools are heroes.
with great power comes great responsibility.
you don't trust anyone. that's your problem.
now he's gonna get away with my money!
has he mentioned me?
what the hell's the matter with you?
it's as if you've reached the unreachable and you weren't ready for it.
one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail.
in spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you.
hold it right here! you're under arrest!
i would never hurt you.
thank god for you.
go home dear. you look awful.
feeling better this morning?
think you're pretty funny, don't you?
i don't want to fight you.
just don't fall on your ass.
you know, you're taller than you look.
we are who we choose to be.
i want you to know that i will always be there for you.
hey freak show! you're going nowhere!
give me your hand.
if anything happened to me, it was you i could count on.
sorry i'm late. work was murder.
you know how much i sacrified?
not everyone is meant to make a difference.
for me, the choice to lead an ordinary life is no longer an option.
you and i are not so different.
why bother?
i went through exactly the same thing at your age.
i tried to stop it, but i couldn't stop it!
here's the real truth.
i will always be there to take care of you. i promise you that.
we're exceptional.
i'll be here when you get back.
is somebody there?
why wasn't i told?
you can't do this to me.
i could squash you like a bug right now, but i'm offering you a choice.
you were awesome in all the school plays.
imagine what we could accomplish together, what we could create.
is that what you want?
don't play innocent with me.
you're gonna pick on a guy trying to save a bunch of kids?
i got something for your ass.
you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!
what's your name, kid?
i will always be your friend.
that's the best you've got?
you're amazing.
nice to have a fan.
follow the cold shiver running down your spine.
you sure you want to know?
the story of my life is not for the faint of heart.
this, like any story worth telling, is all about a girl.
that's me.
that's what you've chosen.
slander is spoken. in print, it's libel.
can i do anything for you?
you know who i am.
only a friend?
i wanna act... on stage.
make him suffer.
i offered you friendship, and you spat in my face.
we're gonna have a hell of a time.
you killed those people on the balcony!
i had nothing to do with it!
i beg you, protect me!

pin + ‘ can you attract any more attention to us!? ’ loud & deafening silence + reluctant allies : @merchenary
Ugh — a grunt reverberates from the back of his throat as a result of the impact, his body now pressed to the brick wall, pinned between that and Sampo’s chest. Gepard scowls — an instinctive reaction to Sampo in general, really — though the feverish flush of his skin tells a different story. He thrashes lightly until Sampo speaks again, causing the captain to pause.
‘ can you attract any more attention to us!? ’
Cocky bastard.
❝ Can you?! ❞ Gepard hisses indignantly, shouldering his way out of the hold. He’s ridiculous.
ITS CLEAR GEPARD ISNT FROM THE UNDERWORLD —-— he’s too stiff, even when he’s in disguise. one wrong word or movement could ruin their whole operation. it’s why they’re in this mess now. sampo PRESSING gepard into the wall, trying to keep him out of sight. but even with the other’s mistake he can’t help but find this whole ordeal ENTERTAINING.
the way gepard’s face starts to turn red when there’s minimal distance between them. the way he pushes sampo back. it’s all part of THEIR DANCE. that CHAOTICALLY CRAFTED routine sampo’s become accustomed to. “ — oh trust, if you want me to get their attention i will. ” a pause as he dusts off his shirt. making DIRECT EYE CONTACT with the blond. “ but maybe we should halt your search for a little bit. they’re gonna be on their guard if we keep following them. ”
@merchenary radioed : ❝ From the looks of these chains, someone didn’t want us to go very far either. ❞
❝ at least ya' can actually see. ❞ an annoyed grunt sounded, echoing off what ears picked up to be an empty room. no items to soften the echo. whoever had gotten the jump on the duo wasn't someone to be scoffed at. especially since it seemed they were aware of the abilities the two possessed. wrists were shackled firmly at the small of their back, a fabric crudely tied and blinded their vision.
❝ 'm not flexible enough for this shit. y're gonna have t' be my eyes, okay? 'til i can get this damned thing off. ❞ being chained was enough to cause breath to escape at an uneasy rate. the vixen prided themself on being able to stay calm, but the lack of mobility and vision prompted anxiety to rise.
they are on the verge of a full scale panic attack.
HES NO STRANGER TO CUFFS —-— but this already felt worse than that. COLD && RUSTED CHAINS have them both secured. and hearing that spencer was blindfolded added something else he can’t quite describe. they’re in trouble, that’s about all he can tell. this whole SITUATION might’ve been easier to deal with if they weren’t back to back in the chairs.
from what he can see there isn’t anything notable in the room. it’s completely empty except the two of them… there’s not even light. “ — listen, you’re gonna be okay. i promise. ” he can hear the other’s breath starting to get HEAVY. it’s clear they aren’t feeling amazing about this either. “ from what i can see we’re alone. that was their first MISTAKE. ” he’s trying to talk enough to keep spencer distracted. they just need enough time to come up with a game plan.
c’mon sampo… THINK!
“ this is a mistake, i shouldn’t be here. ”
THERES A GRIN ON SAMPO’S FACE —-— it’s clear he’s up to no good ( per usual. ) but what he didn’t expect to find was dan heng wandering about. “ — a MISTAKE? ” there’s a POUT to his words. that whine in his voice is a clear indicator that he’s BORED. “ we’ll have fun! you can trust me! ” just what exactly was he planning? not even he is sure about that.
it’s not unusual to see the other SNOOPING around but this was different. the rest of the squad was nowhere to be seen. HOW INTERESTING. “ but did you wanna tell me why you’re running around belobog in the middle of the night? ”
surprise, probably an accident <: probably
THE TEXT CAUGHT HIM OFF GUARD —-— but it’s not something you’ll find him complaining about. in fact, he’s doing quite the opposite. he’s practically DROOLING at the sight. his back is pressed against the bricks in the alley. half mumbling to himself as he types out his response. “ — oh gepard. ”
[ text ] bored tonight?
[ text ] seems like someone misses me ;)
[ text ] try and find me and maybe i can help!
USUALLY HE’D BE THE ONE IN SPENCER’S PLACE —-— a scuff here, a scratch there. COLLECTING BRUISES like trading cards whenever they were working. but this time the PAIN fell onto the other, and that’s not something sampo enjoys seeing. in fact, it makes him feel like he FAILED. but at least now, with natasha busy, he can step up. he can be of use. “ — doctor koski to you! ” he jokes, trying to act UNBOTHERED. but as soon as he hears that next string of words he’s practically tearing up.
they had an ODD ROUTINE for sure. declaring love after an injury just happened to be a far too common occurrence. “ i love you too angel. ” his words are soft, that gentle tone is a GIVEAWAY. it’s clear to tell how worried he truly is. maybe one day soon they’ll catch a break. they’ll get to relax, free from the thoughts of MONSTERS. but while they’re here in belobog that hardly seemed to be the case. “ get some rest okay? ”
it wasn't meant to be such an emotionally charged statement. the last uttering of the words from their mouth had been one of the scariest moments of their existence. it was something that plagued them with nightmares. a life without sampo, well. why else would they be in this business if not to be with him, at his request?
❝ stay, please. ❞ a singular finger caught his own, attempting to anchor him to this spot. it wasn't often spencer felt so fragile, but it kept happening. time and time again defensive walls were shattered and all was left was bare, bleeding self. ❝ i . . . i sleep better when 'm with you. ❞
HE WANTS TO GET UP AND GO —-— find somewhere private where he can BREAK DOWN. but something about spencer’s voice makes his plan change completely. the vulnerability that soaks through those words. he can’t ignore that. “ — of course. ” a pause as he readjust in the chair he was previously sitting in. “ im not going anywhere… promise. ” it’s rare form to see sampo this quiet… to see him so visibly NERVOUS. but he’s trying his best to hold himself together.
he has to do it for spencer, has to be strong for them. if he can’t do that then what’s the point of him being here at all. it’s his FAULT that spencer ended up like this. if he hadn’t gotten so attached maybe they’d never have gotten hurt. “ i’ll be right here. ” there’s so much he wants to say, but the words aren’t coming together. he just hopes he can be ENOUGH.

“I haven’t seen you in hours. Where were you hiding?” shit I’ve said to my cat : @merchenary
❝ I hate you, ❞ even as words part from his lips, accompanied by a glare, Gepard knows there’s no ire behind them, only exasperation at the man’s typical antics. Truthfully ; Sampo’s remarkable stamina and cunning prowess are almost impressive, though he’d never give Sampo the victory of hearing that admittance out loud.
That won’t stop Gepard from arresting him, either. ❝ Now turn around. ❞
ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY SPENT ON THE RUN —-— if it weren’t for gepard he’s sure he wouldn’t have this much stamina built up. that man is practically a PERSONAL TRAINER at this point! but he’s thankful he managed to hide well enough to earn a break, even if it did end up rather boring. “ — awh c’mon gepard… we’re barely getting started. ” and while he could sit and tease the other for his choice of words, for once his mind isn’t immediately IN THE GUTTER. “ im sure we can run a few more laps around the city! ”
he’s not lying either, instead he’s being completely honest. if he needed to keep RUNNING he would. he’d run and run and run until there’s no wind left in his lungs. anything to prove a point, especially to a captain like gepard. sampo doesn’t give up easily, he’s sure the blond knows this by now. “ i don’t think you’ve earned the right to put me in cuffs, i usually reserve that for people who buy me a drink or two. ” so much for keeping his mind out of the gutter.
❛ hunger . give my muse something to eat / drink .
SHARING FOOD —-— it’s such a new concept to him, something he’s more than happy to dive into. here the two of them sat, the tray between them. looking out into the stars as the picked at snacks. the energy is completely different… tame in comparison to the CHAOS they usually involved themselves in. he breaks off a piece of the bread, moving his hands towards spencer’s mouth. “ — here… ” his voice is quiet, practically a whisper.
he’s not sure how he managed to luck out like this, but truth be told… he never wants this to go away. this feeling of peace, the NECESSITY of being with spencer. he’d fight battle after battle to keep things like this. “ this is some of the best bread i’ve ever had. you should try some. ”
