★ 𝄃 𝄃 𝄂 𝄂 𝄃 ⌗ 𝓜IMI ( @spectakl ) SAYS !! ❛ 𝓒ome on, dez, give me a little love here. ❜

𝓙AW feels like it's tightly lined with wire, molars grinding in their ears with the pressure. any more bitter, & their vision would be vividly red. of course her affection is wanted now, away from the light of day — no, away from valerie wong. denali's brow twitches at the mere thought of her name. ❛ you just fuckin' stood there. ❜ they practically SPIT, continuing their angry scrubbing of body glitter ⎯ wipes rubbing, grating, until skin is tinged red. they have no interest in meeting mimi's gaze, not until the exact second their arms begin burning — agitation sparking into fire. dirtied wipes are thrown atop trailer vanity, chest excruciatingly tight as dez spins upon mimi. ❛ no, worse, actually — y'fuckin' dogpiled me. seriously, mimi, what the fuck are you even thinkin', comin' here ? ⎯⎯ i don't wanna SEE you. ❜

★ 𝄃 𝄃 𝄂 𝄂 𝄃 ⌗ 𝕹YX ( @spectakl ) SAYS !! ❛ ⁽ 𝘁𝘅𝘁 ⁾ i want to take a nap on you.

⁽ 𝘁𝘅𝘁: 8:33ᴬᴹ ⁾ : fuuuuuuckkk i know right... sounds heavenly ⁽ 𝘁𝘅𝘁: 8:34ᴬᴹ ⁾ : stayed up so i could sleep on the plane ⁽ 𝘁𝘅𝘁: 8:34ᴬᴹ ⁾ : think we can nap away the whole 7 hrs ??

★ 𝄃 𝄃 𝄂 𝄂 𝄃 ⌗ 𝕹YX ( @spectakl ) SAYS !! ❛ ⁽ 𝘁𝘅𝘁 ⁾ hey, where did you go ?

𝓦ATER bows around dez's frame as they're SUMMONED by the chiming of their phone; device perched at the poolside, ringer thoughtfully left on for this very reason. elbows press into the concrete of pool's perimeter, lifting dez towards her neatly folded towel — hands quickly dried before phone is snatched up. it's nyx, who presumably remains two floors up in their hotel room with their still - sleeping drummer. ( you'd SNUCK OUT nearly thirty minutes ago, leaving bandmates in deep slumber — the past few days on the wide open road have been tolling on all of you, & this off - time has been well earned. )

⁽ 𝘁𝘅𝘁: 1:02ᴬᴹ ⁾ : everything's ok, dw ♥️ ⁽ 𝘁𝘅𝘁: 1:04ᴬᴹ ⁾ : needed some air. i'm down at the pool ⁽ 𝘁𝘅𝘁: 1:04ᴬᴹ ⁾ : wanna join? hot tub's running...

𝓗AND - in - hand, rings clinking & acrylics clicking — two strides so effortlessly in sync. as if it's always been this way. gone are the days when denali might've pulled up DIRECTIONS, now content to merely roam with nyx at their side. ❛ these came out so good, ❜ excitement takes over their features, bright phone screen held out for band - mate to see the photos they'd just taken. dez had pulled the emergency break on their heels & insisted upon an impromptu photoshoot — mainly of nyx — under the boulevard's dazzling lights. ❛ — like ?? ugh, look at you ! ❜ they gush, making a playful fanning gesture.

𝓘T'S a GAME to the pair of them, now. spotting the cameras, slipping away before the vultures can give chase ₍ ... ₎ on this night in particular, it's extremely close. mimi's firm grip drags dez out of the street before they even know what the reason is, girl stumbling on studded platforms & nearly taking mimi down with them. heart races, a lopsided grin taking over their features. ❛ that ₍ ... ₎ was TOO CLOSE, ❜ giggled out deviously upon a labored breath; their faces are mere inches apart, dez still grasping mimi's shoulder to keep them both upright. ❛ — gettin' kinda dangerous out here, huh ? ❜
