could it be so wrong if she feels the ichor of gods run rampant at his touch ? even the apple tasted sweet across eve’s tongue , and what could be so unholy that offered such divinity ? stood at the threshold of the barricades she sees him ( beautiful as ever , she notes , like a halo would suit his crown nicely ) and the ghost of a smile makes a home on a face too acquainted with scowls and frowns . ❝ hey hot shot , anything interesting today ? ❞ if her hand lingers too long on his shoulder and her stare too diluted in something like infatuation , she doesn’t acknowledge the implications —- moves past the indulgence before anything is to come of it . ❝ i also wouldn’t be opposed to a little white lie for the sake of dramatics . anything for a good story , right ? ❞ @scottadler

laugh spilling from smiling lips and it tastes foreign across her tongue —- bliss like an anomaly in a world bloated with chaos . ❝ well , better now that you’re here but in comparison to yours , my day was just fantastic . ❞ roll of the eyes to punctuate . ❝ found an old shed a few miles north and i might’ve brought you back a lil’ something . ❞ mirth painting colloquial as digits reach into the knapsack at her side ( once a virgin white and now stained with soot and blood . might’ve laughed at the ugly old thing if circumstances weren’t so dire ) . ❝ ta da ! your very own can of peaches ! and look at that , they’re not even expired either . you’re getting the real royal treatment around here ! ❞
his smile grew wider at her response. the cowboy let out a soft and surprised ah ! at her announcement, ‘ a present, roma? i sure wasn’t expectin’ that. ’ she was always kind to him, and whether he was oblivious to her intentions or in denial, he’d always returned the kindness in a friendly manner. never seeking to take a step forward, force of habit.
‘ peaches! ’ glee slipped in his tone involuntarily, and it was genuine, ‘ well thank you, you truly are a sweetheart, ’ he gave a brief pause, as if leaving time for thought between the both of them, unwillingly, before he added, ‘ listen, as much as i’d like to selfishly devour these sweet peaches on my own, what do ya say we share ‘em? right here, right now. i’m a little peckish. ’
