pairing: you and eva stratt

For the people who just want eva stratt and not ryland grace (even tho I love him, I just need eva rn)

you're a scientist who is working under Stratt, and who has gotten away with a lot of things. Like flirting. A LOT of flirting. Have fun fam!

Suggestive themes, nothing wild.

"have you noticed how brightly the stars are shining whenever you're outside?" You asked, eyes pointed at Eva, who tried to not react with how close she could feel you. "Almost like they were made for you!" The stars were especially bright above the two women.

"I do hope you understand that I'm a decade older than you." Whilst Eva was forty five, you were only thirty five. Younger and a little less experienced than the madam director standing next to you.

"I said what I said." You commented, playing innocent. Eva blinked at you, then shook her head with her jaw tensed. It was bad obviously, you should be helping Grace or any of the other scientists with the Astrophage problem, not flirting with your boss.

"you need to be working, the sun is dying and you're trying to get me in bed." Eva looked at you.

"I'm not trying to get you in bed. Only wanted to ask you out on a very special date before the world ends if this hail mary plan goes to shit." You were bold, she'd give you that.

"we're on a ship." Eva looked beyond bored at this point.

"there's a cafeteria." You said, grinning.

"it's not exactly special, is it?" Eva asked.

"give me a break here," you scoffed, turning to the stars, "I'm not exactly a god at asking out hot people."

Eva's breath hitched. No one's called her that in, well, in a long time. She wasn't bad looking, but with the wrinkles coming in and the frown lines and everything else that was wrong with her, she'd have thought someone wouldn't really notice her. Especially after she became the boss of everyone. "I'm not..." When did she become so shy. She cleared her throat. "Absolutely not, don't do that."

You turned to her, noticing the flustered cheeks. A smirk became apparent on your lips. "Do what?" You teased, leaning in slightly. Eva was definitely warmer, that's for sure. "Maybe you need to relax a bit."

Eva was surprised by how bold you're becoming in her flustered state. Maybe she could relax a bit tonight. With you in her company. "Yeah, okay." She was quiet. But honestly, the way you stared at her made her heart jump. You grabbed her hands, tugging her with you. You kissed her once, twice... Maybe thrice. You didn't know, all you know is that the woman you pinned for, for ages, was willing to try a complicated relationship.

Even if the earth and sun were dying, you could be human with someone that night. So completely human.

"If there is no God, everything is permitted."🌼

​

The first morning I woke up without her in the world, the morning felt different. My mind was shouting thoughts quicker than my heartbeat. I knew she was gone, the warmth on my skin, flowing through my veins and deep in my bones was nothing more than what felt like a flush. In my mind, the sun hadn’t risen, it stayed hidden below the trees and fog. Darkness thick in every breath you took and exhaled.

 The moon was never and will never be enough to light up the sky.

 I hope she died with the lights on, though I doubt it. I hope she could see her room filled with her son’s drawings and the books that pilled on the armchair and her nightstand. I hope she could see the hands I had kissed a couple hours prior. I hope she could hear the nurses walking quietly in the hallways and know the world will be okay if she lets go. I hope she knows how much she will be missed, how much her loss will change lives. I hope she knows I love her, that her son and her husband love her, but that we will be ok. We will all move on. I will never know if you knew all this before you died, all I can do is hope. All I deserve is to hope now that you are gone.

I feel my face go cold in the morning dew, I glance at my feet, they brought me outside. Dirt and grim on my skin and under my toenails. As I touch my face, I know I have been crying. I feel as though I can see everything around me, I am floating into the morning sky. Further and further away from my body that stands planted to the ground. I see the sun rising along with me.

I drew it with my hands 🙌

Yes like the song.
