there’s  a  thunderstorm  rumbling  on  the  horizon.    he  can  practically  taste  it,  feel  the  way  that  the  wind’s  whipping  up  a  little  around  them.  there’s  nothing  wrong  with  a  crime  scene  in  the  rain,  of  course,  but  the  yard’ll  kick  up  a  fuss  about  the  evidence  being  partly  washed  away  by  the  downpour  ⸺  so,  it’s  probably  best  to  get  a  move-on.  a  glance  spared  to  the  manic  detective  behind  him,  coat  swishing  about  as  he  dashed  from  one  side  of  the  scene  to  the  other,  before  john’s  attention  draws  back  to  the  young  witness  in  front  of  him.  one  doesn’t  normally  witness  a  murder  on  their  way  to  carry  out  daily  routines,  and  yet  …  she  looks  surprisingly  calm.  perhaps  it  hasn’t  really  caught  up  with  her  yet.    “  so  …  did  you  say  you  actually  saw  the  murder  occur?  or  was  the  scene  like  this  when  you  passed  by?  ”

@lcvelj​: ❝ do you think the moon gets lonely? ❞

♚ -------------------- MAGNOLIA CASTILLO prompt  ( no longer accepting )

     THE BLUE VELVET  sky beyond the window’s glass had invited the query with its otherworldly beauty, the lustre of the full moon vying for an audience even amidst a sea of  coruscating  stars. a trek across a multitude of universes had been a requisite for their  tryst  but the destination was well worth the cost. messages scribed by  auras  in the all-encompassing abyss could only gratify their yearning to a point, less of a substitute and more of an  aperitif  to the proverbial main course; a whetted appetite could only endure so much  temptation.

          the quality of time spent in-person was nothing short of  exquisite,  as was the fruition of the perennial suspense.

     from the darkness that had befallen her room had the entity taken shape to join her at the bedroom window, sleeved arms slow to embrace her from behind so as not to startle her while shadows disrobed him of their  obstructive  veil. the initial fervour of their reunion had simmered into a comfortable warmth, not unlike how the gem in her necklace had  dulled  in their close proximity.  characteristic  ringing  hid within the medley of noises outside, the walls breathing around them and the stifled  melody  of white noise. when she was with him, the being’s campaign against his human counterpart was adjourned until the  itch  manifested again. the exact moment in which they were brought together again was committed to memory -- the  first  touch,  the  first  breath, and the  first  kiss.  no instance was wholly the same and as lips bestowed a chaste kiss to the back of her neck, all felt  impossibly  still once more.

     ❝  all  great  and  precious  things can get lonely at times.  ❞  the quote’s recital was married with a smooth timbre, a near whisper that was further accentuated by layers of  dreamy  echoes. each disembodied voice represented one possibility out of an infinite quantity, ripped  asunder  from their respective place in time and space for the sake of theatrics. it was a testament to his presence, a tribute to her and his  obdurate  resolution to reunite with her over and over again.  ❝  after all, it can only  admire  the sun from afar ---- or perhaps it’s  content  as it is, in the  company  of the stars.  ❞

     pale fingers were slow to climb along the centre of her torso as the other upheld their hold, taking care to enjoy the journey before the eventual destination. the pad of his thumb mindfully brushed over the jewel’s  lusterless  surface, the gesture lending itself to a proposal which could quell her curiosity with an apodictic truth. their current reality succumbed to a shimmer and for a moment, the edges of the window and the  watercolour  sky seamlessly blended together. they could walk into the unknown hand-in-hand, experience all that the universe had to offer and  seize  opportunities that weren’t presented to the average human. she with the necklace, she could  follow  him where she once couldn’t, even a reality where the moon itself was  personified.  for now, they had all the time in the world to revel in the privilege of each other’s existence.  

                         WHERE DOES LOVE GO ?                                  ( WHEREVER YOU ARE. )

       this  was  their  last  summer  until  college  started.   jacob  was  excited.   both  of  them  would  end  up  going  to  new  york  city  in  the  fall,   jacob  attending  columbia  while  lara  jean  was  off  to  nyu.    regardless,  he  wanted  to  spend  as  much  time  with  her  before  they  were  off  to  college  &&  their  time  together  would  become  L I M I T E D .   ❛   so––  what  is  it  that  we’re  doing  today ??   spend  the  day  at  the  pool,  go  to  the  summer  fair,  or  staying  in  &&  watching  an  entire  season  of  pretty  little  liars  or  something.   ❜

         surprised painted her features,  dmitry was never one to tell her things like this.   eyes looked over to him for a while before she started on blushing brightly as it settled in.   they had been living together for  three years ,  and she had never heard that from him.     “   do ... you need  glasses  or  do you want something ?   ”     she giggled,  poking his forehead as she looked back at him.     “   i would say that you look  great too,  but you’ll tease me.   ”

❝    you  are  seriously  the  best  thing  that’s  ever  happened  to  me       ━━━━━━━     ❞            is  that  praise  all  because  she  brought  him  pizza  at  3am  ,  straight  to  his  lab  ?          yes  ;  yes  it  is.          his  eyes  hurt  from  staring  at  baymax  for  so  long  ━━━━  he’s  surprised  he’s  not  flat  out  crying  at  this  point.             especially  with  the  surge  of  pure  dopamine  lara jean’s  presence  &  the  smell  of  pizza  produced.
