Diana Morgan

I agree, we should talk more about things that bother us. It’s important for us to see eye to eye and be there for each other in the simplest ways. I know sometimes it can be a lot, but I think if we just say what we feel or want out loud, things can get a little… easier. I guess our problem was we weren’t doing much talking.

Yeah, pretty lucky.

And wasn’t that bad, was it? You should spread the word to friends and family. Being fucked by the proletariat can be a great thing.

I’m not that great in talking about my needs and feelings, but I can at least try. Just promise me you won’t feel sorry for me if things get difficult somehow.

You’re right, we really weren’t, but after today I’m sure we will improve on that. And that will help us improve in other areas, I think.

I’ll say it could be better just so you’ll keep working of your... skills, but the same foes for you, Dan. But sure, Marx and Engels would be proud of you. 

ledanielmars​:

Diana is right, this is the least we could do. And you’re really a great son, it’s visible how much effort you put into everything. Count on us for anything, alright?

I’m not one to swear much mais putain de merde, River, you’re so fucking special. Don’t try to convince us otherwise. I can’t even count the times you left me mesmerized, and I’m not to be wowed easily.

Yeah, I’ve never cared much for the ideal of success that is socially imposed on us, but whenever we’re together, I feel inadequate in some way. I’m not used to people taking care of me or being vulnerable, but thanks. It’s good to know I can count on you. 

I guess I’m lucky you two have some sort of attraction to tramps. I’m just kidding, sorry. Don’t want to ruin the moment.

Well, I guess maybe we are to blame for you feeling inadequate, at least a little. It’s something we can work on, I’m positive. I think it’s important that we talk about, well, about us, even when something big isn’t happening. It will make things easier for all of us, and then we can all help each other a bit.

ledanielmars​:

I deserve that, I really was an idiot. I hope so, Diana.

You’re a…? Mon dieu, I was not expecting that. I wondered what you needed that money for, but I would never have imagined it was it. I’m sorry that happened to you and you have to go through all of this, River. I too am here for you. Whatever you need, whenever.  

Thanks for understanding, the two of you. I trust very little people with this information about my life and… Well, I guess you’ll stick around and it’s important for you to know what happen when I’m away.

And since we’re being honest here, the reason why I’ve never invited you to visit my house, it’s because I barely have one. I don’t have much money, and most of my payments from the cafe are used to help my mom. She’s very sick and no one really knows what is wrong with her. She was the reason why I came back to London first of all. I’m not much, I know. Diana is a fucking ballet goddess, and you are french and fancy. I’m a poor jack of all trades with a furry problem. Now that you know everything, I want to give you the chance to choose to deal with my mess. You’re not obliged.

You don’t have to thank us for anything, River. Understanding and supporting is the bare minimum any of us could do for each other.

Your mother is lucky to have you as a son, I hope you know that by now. And as far as hoping goes, I hope we’ll be able to help you with taking care of things.

ledanielmars​:

I’m glad you had a good night of sleep then.

I guess we should. Look, I know I said I wouldn’t talk about that night anymore, but let me just tell both of you again, together… I’m really sorry. I’ll do anything to make it up to you, no matter how long it takes. 

River, I’ll never know how it is to be a muggleborn. But I want you to feel safe, and to think someone could do anything to you… it killed me when I understood what that meant. 

Yeah, you were an idiot that night. And since we’re being honest here, I was really disapointed. I thought that you were different than other rich people from the ministry. I guess you’re trying to be at least, and for that I’m thankful.

Well, I’m not just a muggleborn, Daniel. I’m also a halfblood. You saved my ass the other night, so I think you earned the truth. I’m a werewolf. It’s been almost three years since the night I was almost killed by one of them. And the only way to survive it’s… Well, it is what it is. When I asked you for money was to buy ingredients for a wolfsbane potion.

I’m not usually one to give out point for effort, but Dan really does deserve it. I didn’t expect such a shift, and you have improved a lot already. We can’t change the past, but maybe the future will look better for us.

ledanielmars​:

Well, I thought it would be rude if we skipped the talking. 

Did both of you sleep well? 

If you ask me, that’s going to meu top five best ways to wake up after a busy night.

I was so tired that I didn’t even remember falling asleep. And yes… We should talk.

Well, you’re the only one who had a busy night, so I’ll give you that. It is quite nice, and the flowers were a sweet touch.

@river-thompson​ @themorgangirl​

Good morning, Di, River. 

Made some breakfast for us, hope you’re hungry… or craving some caffeine. 

Coffee first, good morning later.

Thanks Dan, after working until late last night, I’m starving.

Not the best way to wake up, but a very good one indeed.

Like in the whole world? Or could I escape it? Is that cheating? I hope not because both suck.

Peace is fine, but no interaction? I think that just might be too much for me. So I'll go with conflicts and entertainment.

Merci, Di.

You’re right, I’ll switch to water then. 

And since we’re here, and this song just started… may I have this dance?

Of course. Lead the way, Monsieur Mars.

I don’t think you would. You know what we have to talk about, and I don’t think you’d even let us deviate from topic. It would be nice if you’d hear what we have to say to each other… I know it’s an intimate moment, but what moments of ours weren’t? 

Just because there are things more urgent matters between me and River, doesn’t mean you don’t have place in this talk. I would like your presence there, and I’m sure River would appreciate it as well. Does that count for something?

You say that, but sometimes I’m not all that rational when it comes to us. Maybe more than just sometimes, even. It would, you’re right, but still... it’s not the intimacy part that makes me worried.

It does count... 

It feels like a conversation for the three of us to have, Di. It’s not just about me and him, you’re a part of this too. It’s about us.

But I get it if it’s too much. 

To me it feels like you two have more things to unpack that don’t really involve me, or how things are between us three.

Yes, everyone seems very poised and comfortable as well. It’s a nice environment. 

It did, actually… he agreed to come over after the party and we’ll talk about things in the morning, after we get some rest.

Were you planning on going home after the wedding? ‘Cause I was wondering if… maybe you’d like to join us? 

Oh, he did? That’s great, I think, but I do hope you two actually talk and...

Com certo receio, Daniel limpou os sapatos no tapete de entrada da casa de Diana e adentrou o recinto, a seguindo até o sofá e sentando-se ali com uma distância segura da bailarina.  Observou ela falar, sentindo suas entranhas contorcerem-se quando foi dito que não tinha sido ela quem ele tinha mais machucado. Se pudesse voltar atrás, ele o faria sem pensar duas vezes, porém sabia que isso seria impossível. Suspirou fundo antes de responder. — Because I thought you’d be worried too. — Revelou, sincero. — And I don’t think he’ll wanna hear from me ever again. — Complementou, passando as mãos pela calça de alfaiataria bem ajustadas. Mars tinha muitas incertezas quanto a River, pois além de ter minimizado sua dor naquela noite, ele jogara na cara do britânico todas as suas frustrações referentes à vez que tentara falar sobre seus sentimentos para ele e fora delicadamente rejeitado.

— You said they have River’s address. — Ele disse em um tom baixo, enfim erguendo a cabeça para fitar a mulher. — I can’t stop thinking about that, Diana. — Disse, levando a mão direita aos cabelos asseados. — What if something happens to him? Something bad? — Daniel desviou o olhar para um quadro exposto na parede da sala da mulher, sem coragem de encará-la. — I thought all those attacks were under control… mais merde, I was wrong. — Completou. Apesar de lidar vez ou outra com algum caso de ataques à nascidos-trouxas e mestiços em seu trabalho, quando envolvia a dinâmica entre a França e Grã-Bretanha, Daniel sempre acreditava que eram casos isolados, e que as coisas não estavam tão ruins assim. Ele colocava muita fé na proteção dos aurores, mas pelo visto nem os aurores em treinamento estavam a salvo.

Ver Daniel daquela forma fazia seu coração doer de uma forma que era extremamente desconfortável. Durante os momentos que dividiu com ele, e também quando estavam juntos de River, o francês sempre era mais confiante, uma presença calma e certeira em meio à confusão que os dois britânicos podiam ser. Era até curioso que sem ele as coisas parecessem ter se acalmado tanto, mas de uma forma que deixava todos os envolvidos plenamente insatisfeitos. Por Morgana, as coisas deveriam estar melhores sem ele, e Diana deveria estar repleta de raiva em vê-lo, não era justo que ela se sentisse assim. Embora não fosse exatamente seu papel perdoá-lo, precisava admitir que havia ficado bastante magoada com as palavras e a forma como ele lidou com tudo, e a presença dele ali fazia com que se sentisse cada vez mais próxima de realmente acreditar que podiam superar aquilo. Apesar de seus reais sentimentos, persistiu em manter a face séria e não mostrar sinais de que estava cedendo,
