Send 💋 to give my muse a kiss — accepting !!

❝ ewwww !!! ❞ his freckled nose scrunches and he tries unsuccessfully to squirm away . yeah, if his civvie friends thought he was cool, they deeeefinitely don’t now .

@sandmark said : "don't tell me you're not the same person."

the  words  were  simple ,  but  spoken  with  such  a  confidence  it  made  tim's  thoughts  pause.  as  much  as  the  doubt  remained , if  anyone  knew  the  truth , it  would  be  cassie.  she  has  been  there  through  everything ,  saw  who  he  had  become  because  of  grief  and  loss.  the  determination  in  those  blue-green  eyes  chased  away  the  hesitanse  that  lingered.  smiling  softly ,  tim  tilted  his  head  back  to  the  ceiling ,  reaching  his  hand  out  to  gently  rest  atop  hers.  🙶 well ,  you  would  know  best ,  wouldn't  you ? 🙷 

he giggles immediately, leaning into her touch . gold eyes shine like the sun, with a smile just as bright .

certainly not a first timer when it came to being on those high shoes, neither was she one to complain about it. rather special as it was unique, laced throughout previous hardships --- not skipping a heartbeat, donna would put a pause on her life if it meant the protection and safety of a loved one such as cassandra sandsmark. under the eldest adoring gaze the girl represented a part of her found family, and the future of generations to come. it was a lot to be carried under her shoulders, though --- no one could be more aware about the weight this job had on their shoulders, equal to a traitor ill line of thoughts when regarding mental health. clearly vocal, donna made sure to be a phone call of distance whenever cassandra would require her.

perhaps she should settle for the current wonder girl's reassurance instead of living under recurring doubts. more than ever, what cassie needed the most from her was to believe she was capable, to trust her instincts, just like a very much younger version of donna pleaded with diana many years ago. ❝ I am truly glad that you do, Cassie, ❞ her lips curve into a smirk, ever so soft and gentle. azure hues then directed to the horizon painting the sky ahead, in front of them ; a glimpse of the end of another day drawn in shades of yellow and red. ❝ I believe in you. always will --- Sorry if I'm acting far too cautious, or protective even. ❞ her curls cascating down her shoulders, a moment of silence before the conclusion. ❝ you are a great wonder girl, &. it's my honor to have you carry a title so beloved by me. ❞

AFFECTIONATE GESTURES — accepting !!

his freckled nose scrunches up at the boop . then he blinks up at her, SMILING impishly .

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE THINK OF MINE ? — accepting !!

agony thrummed through his GUT all the way out to his fingertips in waves . still, he managed to drag himself against the nearest wall to sit against, chest heaving to try and draw a steady breath . the cold air STUNG his wound when the fabric was peeled away, making him hiss and squeeze his eyes shut . his head then fell back against the wall limply, relenting to Cassie’s aid, though sharp breaths and twitches signified he was still experiencing PAIN through the currently one-sided conversation .

❝ hey — not MY fault I got there first . ❞ he couldn’t keep from reciprocating for long, managing as playful a smile as he could muster in that moment .

and his eyes are hazy for a few seconds, fluttering closed as he drifts in and out of consciousness . but soon he forces his eyes back open and tries to FOCUS them back on his friend .
