KISS MEME   /   @fiixthis  !

            ❛  –  they’re exhausted,  ❜  she grins as she slips through the door of their bedroom, closing it quietly behind her as she glances over her shoulder a hugh, sitting in bed with a book in his hands, abandoned on his lap the moment she had entered the room.  ❛  i barely finished a chapter before they were all out like lights.  ❜  toeing off her heels beside the door, olivia makes her way to hugh’s side, leaning forward and gently caressing his cheek before she bends slightly, kissing him lovingly without a second thought. her hand falls from his cheek as she walks barefoot towards her dresser, slipping her robe off her shoulders as she passes the end of their bed. still smiling, eyes lowered to the ground as she shrugs the blue velvet from her body and carefully drapes it over the dresser.  ❛  –  the twins are asleep on the sofa with shirley, theo’s stretched out on the floor and steve passed out on the recliner half an hour ago.  ❜  

               bare feet carry her towards her side of the bed, as she rubs moisturiser in to her hands and up her arms. she crawls on to the bed, sitting on her knees on top of the blankets hugh sits under, and olivia exhales a breath of laughter, reaching up a hand to gesture at her face.  ❛  luke wouldn’t let me take off his glasses, they’re crooked on his nose.  ❜  the smile she bestows on hugh is brilliant, and full of pure happiness. she loves her children more than anything, and she loves hugh more than anyone. her head cants as she looks at him, her hands falling to her knees.  

     ❛  –  if we’re lucky, they’ll sleep through the night, and we –  ❜  her hands move, palms gliding across the blankets until she’s on her hands and knees, and she crawls across the bed. olivia rises, balancing precariously before she hooks a leg over his hip and she sits, straddling his covered thighs.  ❛  –  we might actually get to sleep in tomorrow.  ❜  she says softly, a knowing look in her eye as she looks up from where her hands have settled on his chest, and she smiles. olivia’s an early riser in general, but she could sleep until eight if given the opportunity. and there haven’t been many recently.

“ oh, dad! wait! ”    having been in the middle of making lemonade shirley whipped on her heel to stop him from passing by the kitchen with the juice jug in one hand    &    the stir stick neck deep inside in the other.      the basement were    off limits    to them,    that,      she knew,      and considering he seemed to be spending the majority of his time working down there lately...      she had to take hold of the opportunity while it was hers for the taking.      it wasn’t of grave importance anyway.      “ say... if i found an empty photo album with the books would i be ALLOWED to use it? ”      it was their house now,    wasn’t it?      finders keepers and all.      “ i already filled my old one. ”      light eyes shifted from him to the jug,      holding it up.      she smiled a dimpled smile.      “ want some? ”

              she  sits  behind  him  ,  merely  a  figment  amidst  a  world  he’d  forged  with  his  own  hand  .  they’d  had  this  conversation  before  .  truly  ,  a  conversation  between  thoughts  rattled  in  his  creative  mind  .  he  knew  that  she  wasn’t  truly  there  .  and  as  always  ,  she  was  the  one  to  reassure  him  .  to  comfort  him  .  he  had  gotten  quite  good  at  seeing  all  sides  of  this  tragic  world  .  these  words  had  been  formed  in  his  mind  ,  crafted  and  wrestled  over  .  many  of  his  right - minded  thoughts  were  said  better  on  her  lips  ,  is  all  .  this  time  was  no  different  .  ❛ you  don’t  have  to  let  me  go  . ❜  no  ,  she  would  never  ask  that  of  him  .  very  few  things  she  would  ask  of  her  betrothed  ,  and  he  had  to  have  known  the  words  that  next  spilled  from  her  scarlet - tinted  mouth  .  ❛  but  you  do  need  to  make  room  for  them  ,  love  .  they  need  you  .  i  will  always  be  right  here  ,  alongside  you  .  always  .  you  must  do  the  same  for  them  . ❜  

                head  tilts  as  she  blinks  away  the  tears  leaving  her  eyes  a  glassy  abyss  .  she’s  reluctant  to  admit  the  same  .  how  long  had  it  been  since  he’d  walked  these  halls  ? it  must  have  been  years  .  she  can  count  more  lines  upon  his  face  ,  telling  of  this  world’s  dreadful  and  unforgiving  hand  .  delicate  is  the  hand  that  reached  for  him  ,  fingers  splaying  over  the  stubble  at  his  jaw  .  she  knows  they  must  feel  like  ice  ,  because  the  warmth  that  radiates  from  him  leaves  her  palm  tingling  .  ❛  i’ve  been  right  here  .  i’ve  always  been  right  here  ,  ❜  voice  is  but  a  whisper  ,  a  breath  of  frigid  air  .  ❛  i  will  always  be  right  here  ,  ❜  and  it’s  said  as  a  promise  ,  though  she  hopes  he  can  hear  the  plea  .  frozen  within  this  decay  ,  this  ruin  .  she  would  wait  for  him  for  as  long  as  was  necessary  ,  and  long  after  he  was  gone  .  

          ❛  she found what ?  ❜  hazel eyes fixate on her husband’s form from where she sits behind her designs, pencil poised in her hand. it taps lightly as her spine straightens and she cants her head aside, still staring at hugh with a furrow to her brow.  ❛  kittens ? and they were alone ?  ❜  how could they have possibly survived out there on their own ? the poor creatures. a touch of a smile graces her lips as she thinks about shirley and her bleeding heart, but she won’t deny that she’s somewhat concerned.  ❛  i thought we agreed no pets until the forever house ?  ❜  a moments irritability at a decision made without her fades on a sigh as olivia places her pencil down, lifting one hand to gently massage the opposite shoulder.  ❛  --  who knows how long they've been out there.  ❜
