Acting impulsively wasn’t exactly new for Nico.  Recording the album was over and he was back home and it felt aggressively lonely without Noelle.  It was one thing to not have her while recording but to be back home and for her not to be in an arm’s reach?  Well, it was unbearable.  It didn’t help that between their schedules talking became more and more sporadic.  They were lucky to squeeze in a few texts and voice memos through the day.  

He tried to keep his restlessness at bay but by the end of the week he had a plane ticket and hotel room booked in the city she was studying in.  A surprise he hoped wouldn’t be too much.  He knew she had a lot on her plate.  

Nico flops onto the hotel bed and pulls out his phone to FaceTime the other, a few moments of anxiety trickle by as he waits for her to answer.  The fear is almost unbearable but then her face fills the screen and any worries are squashed.  “Hey, beautiful.”  

Hurt/Comfort Prompts @fvzzybrain said: SHELTER ( holden + steven ! ) SHELTER : seeing a threat barreling toward them (such as a storm, the shockwave from an explosion, or a building they’re in collapsing), sender holds the injured / incapacitated receiver close, turning their back to the threat to bear the brunt of the impact instead of the receiver.

He knew that it had been a mistake separating from his colleague, however with a large building to search and limited time before their suspect got away, Steven was aware that they had little choice. While Holden had taken the upper levels, the older detective had made his way down into the basement, gun at the ready and body prepared to react should he need it. Unfortunately, no amount of preparation was enough for the ambush that awaited him, when their target appeared from the shadows and drove a large blade into his abdomen, illiciting a gasp of pain and shock from Steven. He was left to crumble to the floor as the hooded suspect sprinted up the stairs and disappeared from view.

A groan on his lips, Steven rolled over and looked around, trying his best to get to his feet, but it was no use, and with the scent of smoke hitting his nostrils, he knew that things were going from bad to worse. The man must have lit something ablaze as he escaped, with the flickering orange glow appearing at the top of the basement stairs. Silently, all he could do was hope that Holden had at least made it out of the building safely, but when he saw a figure barreling down the stairs towards him, he cursed under his breath.

"Get out of here..." he muttered, feeling pressure being applied to his wound as the flames began to get closer, appearing at the door in full view now. "Please, Holden, just go-" Before he could say any more, the wooden staircase began to crack and creak, the flames eating at the steps and frame until-

"alright so..." ronnie slurred slightly as she rapt her knuckles against the wood of the bar. all the customers were gone by this point, and the two of them were left to clean and close up. which lead to them pouring extra strong drinks and an enticing round of two truths and lie (love life edition) as they mopped and cleaned up around the restaurant. it was honestly the best way to end the night in ronnie's mind.

they appeared out of nowhere, back in his life like they hadn't left it in the first place. normally isaac welcomed ghosts from his past with a hug and bright smile, but this one was different. despite having moved so much growing up, isaac had always made it a point to keep their friendship. that was until college took them in different directions, they changed completely and one day they stopped returning his calls.

and now they were back, both living in the city, as if nothing had happened. as if they hadn't absolutely broken his heart. not that they knew it from the start - he had never had the guts to reveal his crush to them - but he hadn't expected the rush of them to come back in the force they did when they stepped into his office one day. especially considering he had just proposed to his girlfriend.
