ron jumped a little when he heard a loud scream. it had caught him off guard but the person that did that must be running for their life in that house. “sorry, by the way, i didn’t mean to startle you.” he kind of had that effect on people. ron always managed to sneak up on someone and scare them. not that he meant to do it. “i don’t know. i’m thinking about it. facing your fears and all…” biting his lower lip, he started to get nervous. he was twenty three and still kind of afraid of going into some haunted house eventhough kids that were about ten came out laughing. he should just man up and do it. but maybe not by himself. “care to join me?”

     facing his fears wasn’t a  thought that often came to eddies mind , in fact ... he wondered if it ever had . for all of his life , he’s been perfectly content to keep his back to and ignore them . maybe that was one of the problems in his future , in his relationships . ❝ it’s okay , you — you didn’t . ❞ eddie lied , if not to make ron feel better , than to make himself feel better .

     with a worried sigh ,  his attention fell back to the house that emitted booming noises and spat out people that looked like they had a blast . he couldn’t contain the way his leg would bounce against the bench , a nervous habit . ❝ well , it could be dangerous ... ❞ he began , glancing back to ron . ❝ like like like , do you really think they got a safety inspection before all this shit ? and , even if they did , one missed rusty nail catches your shirt and then , and then ... ❞

     he stopped himself ,  taking a pause to breath through an inhaler and think about his ramblings . landing on the idea that maybe pushing himself a little bit out of his comfort zone would do good for his late dilemmas , he slowly pushed himself off the bench and nodded to himself . ❝ fuck it . let’s go . ❞

       though lizzie may not be the closest to the other girls, she agreed to join them. how can she not when it was all cheryl talked about? not that she could really say no to the redhead. she made it difficult for her to do so. besides, she could play nice when she wanted anyway and the other girls weren’t that bad company. still, part of her wanted to spend more time just with her friend.

     being pulled away from the group they were in, the blonde watched her friend keenly and she looked even more beautiful underneath the lights. she narrowed her eyes slightly as if asking her what this was about. “ i don’t think it’s that– ” she began to say, but stopping before she could even finish her thoughts how she doesn’t think the ferris wheel could live up to what it’s being hyped for. shaking her head, she offered the redhead a smile as she agreed, “ actually, yeah, i’d love to. ”

    “ come on, ” lizzie urged as she linked her arm with cheryl’s, footsteps leading them towards the direction of the huge attraction. 

     all of the chaos unfolding  around them seemed to fade away when their arms linked together , coaxing cheryl to sway closer to the blonde beside her . lights , noise , fun and distractions were usually all cheryl was about ... but she enjoyed this calm , too . most usually , with lizzie .

     ❝ come on , liz , ❞  cheryl spoke with loud ( sarcastic ) disbelief , her hand coming up in the air only to fall back down to her side . a small smile made it’s way onto her lips as she glanced over to her . ❝ don’t tell me that you don’t believe the rumors , if we get to the top of that ride and we can’t see the whole city ... i’m going to have to blame your lack of faith . ❞

     as the end of the  line neared and they came to a stop , the redhead turned to face one of her best friends , taking her hands into her own instead . ❝ sorry i dragged you along with my friends , ❞ she apologized . ❝ i hope you still had an amazing night . ❞

        elena tensed a little when he draped an arm around her, but easily relaxed after a split second. the two didn’t exactly hang out that much outside of the premises of the club he worked in. however, it feels like she has unloaded so much over the bartender that he probably knows her life story by now. the touch made her stomach flutter a little, but at the same time, there was something about it quite unnerving. though, that’s probably just the paranoia beginning to sink in since she started having these nightmares she couldn’t even quite remember about.

“ is that the case then? found any interesting competition? ” retorted the brunette as she peered up at him with a playful smirk on her lips. “ maybe i could try their martini as well. they might make a pretty mean one. ” 

throwing the now empty paper cup in the nearest trashbin as they stopped in front of the game booths, part of her was disappointed when he dropped his arm. “ don’t be so cocky– ” she quipped in with a shake of her head as she pursed her lips, eyes darting from one booth to another. considering that she doesn’t have a good aim, there was no way she was gonna win at darts over him. “ let’s do the skeeball, ” she announced as she padded towards that booth instead.

     ❝ that’s hardly necessary , ❞  kol mused casually . his eyes followed the paper cup before flickering back to her , falling on the suitable smirk he was always happy to see . ❝ mine are far better , and besides , i know the way you prefer them . ❞

     a confession that was never  outright spoken slipped out as he exchanged a few colourful tickets for heavy plastic that was meant to resemble snowballs . for a second he purses his lips , wondering if she’d ever noticed his remembrance of her simple order . if she hadn’t , she knew then .

     as he turned back to  face her , he offered one of the plastic snowballs before pulling it back to himself , instead . ❝ want to make a bet ? ❞ he’d ask , only half in attempt to try to cover up the subject . offering the ball once again , he added , ❝ if i really am just cocky , you’ll certainly win . ❞

“all i am hearing is big words coming out of your mouth and no action with it,” the raven haired woman teased with a smirk. she enjoyed the company that came with kol and he was certainly the best partner in crime a girl could ask for, “anything alcoholic? sign me up and lead the way, handsome,”

     ❝ big words ? ❞  the vampire repeated with a scoff . though not exactly an exquisite craft , kol took pride in the success of the full moon . sure , the club belonged to klaus , but he wasn’t subtle about his belief that he’d helped their market grow drastically . in a swift motion , his arm locks with his best friend’s and he’s finding himself heading back to the drink booth . ❝ either way , now you know why i’m here , what are you doing ? ❞

𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑  𝐓𝐇𝐄  𝐀𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘  𝐏𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐘  𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓  ,  will  always  let  his  kids  know  that  as  long  as  they  did  their  best  ,  that  that  was  all  that  mattered  .  he  never  wanted  them  to  feel  like  they  had  to  strive  to  get  4.0  gpas  ,  simply  wanted  them  to  just  be  in  fields  that  they  enjoyed  .  and  while  they  were  growing  up  ,  it  always  was  interesting  to  wonder  what  all  his  kids  would  end  up  doing  for  their  careers  .  allison  ,  with  her  love  for  animals  and  habit  of  picking  up  strays  ,  brought  him  no  surprise  when  she  had  gone  into  veterinary medicine  ,  and  neither  did  it  come  to  be  a  surprise  when  persephone  had  opened  her  own  flower  shop  after  how  their  house  quickly  became  a  forest  in  the  years  after  he  adopted  her  .  

he’s  always  done  his  best  to  avoid  asking  too  much  about  their  schooling  ,  never  wanted  to  stress  them  out  .  but  he  also  knows  that  there  are  other  days  where  his  kids  also  love  talking  about  their  studies  .  so  ,  he  hopes  today’s  one  of  those  days  .  “  how’re  your  classes  going  ?  enjoying  them  ?  ”

     home always had been ,  and always would be , a safe place for eddie to collapse into at the end of exhausting days . since he began university , it seemed like the time spent here was at an all time low . waking up at six to get ready , colliding with one of his many siblings during the process , and then heading out the door for nearly the rest of the day . still , he knew that when he walked up the driveway , there would always be someone there waiting for him .

     eddies decision for his future  wasn’t as obvious as his siblings were , at least not if you didn’t know him well enough . the wonderful world of business didn’t seem to fit him , his interests weren’t there and yet ... it made sense . it was a safe field , a field he didn’t have to worry about getting injured or falling ill or being at any risk at all in .

     ❝ they’re alright , i think i’m  doing good . not , like , top of the class good ... but good . ❞ the question was avoided , since he didn’t know if he was fully enjoying it so he'd focus on his academic achievements instead . in all honesty , most classes bored him , apart from bens . with a small glance over to his father , eddie let out a little sigh . he worried about him sometimes , and seeing as though he appeared to be more busy lately , this was one of those times . ❝ everything alright at work ? things have been ... kinda a lot lately , just wanna make sure you're keeping it together . ❞

the day never ended for her , it felt as if everything dropped to an okay level and then an event will rattle it. even if it’s the littlest offense. “ hey , excuse me - excuse me - “ she raised the volume of her voice to get the other’s attention. “ I need to ask you a few questions , do you have a minute ? : sharon carter questioned , lowering her tone the moment she was successful.

     her heels clicked loudly as  she strut with a quick pace down the nearly empty hallway . given the scenery , it was fairly obvious the voice that echoed the walls was speaking to her . once failing to ignore , cheryl spun on her heel to face her . ❝ fine , ❞ a tone that wasn’t as annoyed as she tried to make herself seem slipped out . ❝ what could you possibly want ? ❞

midge hadn’t fallen back into her old dance routine in the longest time. she missed everything about it – and while she was out figuring herself out – this would be the one thing that wouldn’t change. she took up one of the rooms at the gym for practice – but before she could begin , she heard footsteps. “ you’re just in time , i was hoping to get a dance partner - unless you’re here to share a room. “

     ❝ a dance partner ? ❞ wasn’t exactly  what she was expecting when she’d stepped into the gym . it’d never been a skill she’d attained , never one she thought about testing the waters of , either . still , something made her begin to think of it now . with a contemplating sigh , one that sounds as though she already knows she’ll regret this , her gym bag falls off her shoulder and she begins to walk over to her . ❝ what style ? something easy to follow along with , i hope . ❞

             𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒   ,   when   the   world   is   quiet  and   the   nights   are   long   ,   she   lets   herself   miss   him   .   today   ?   is   not   one   of   those   days   .   mikaelson   ,   daenerys   has   long   since   learned   ,   is   synonymous   with   big   fucking   headache   .   catching   her   lower   lip   in   a   light   clamp   ,   she   offers   kol   a   tight   smile   .   sometimes   ,   most   of   the   time   :   𝐒𝐇𝐄   𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒   𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓   𝐇𝐈𝐌   ,   sure   ,   she   ended   things   .   but   she   doesn’t   want   him   to   end   up   dead   in   a   ditch   somewhere   .   mostly   .   it’s   her   own   fault   ,   really   ,   getting   attached   to   a   twenty   -   one   year   old   was   never   going   to   end   well   .   the   urge   to   remind   him   he’s   not   her   problem   anymore   ,   however   dies   in   her   throat   .   ❛   you   ,   ’   a   pause   ,   with   a   head   tilt   to   boot   .   ❛   shouldn’t   have   come   here   ,   kol   .   i’m   working   .   anakin   will   blow   a   gas   git   .   ’

     for a long while ,  seeing her hurt . now , he wouldn’t admit that , because admitting that would be admitting to the true extent of his feelings for her . kol hardly remembered how humans experienced feelings — all he knew now was the heightened sense of loss , the amplified dose of love , and the seething waves of rage that came along with his abilities . time after time he’d question if the emotions that arose were genuinely his , or if they were mere illusion .

     moments with her didn’t fall  into those categories . he’d already discovered them all to be true , only ... perhaps a little too late . all he had to do now was figure out how to live with it . ❝ well , ❞ the original sunk lower into the leather armchair . ❝ you haven’t been returning my calls and i can’t seem to put my finger on why , as i was under the impression we were to remain friends . ❞

don’t look now, but there’s SKY RYMAND over there with their BELLA DONNA ROOM KEY ! they’re never seen without it. rumours say they hail from MAMMA MIA !, but that just doesn’t sound right… after all, the TWENTY THREE year old WEB DESIGNER has lived their whole life here ! if they didn’t, surely they’d remember THE OPENING OF BELLA DONNA. either way, i hope they enjoy their time in somnilia ! / kj apa, cismale, he/him.

don’t look now, but there’s CHERYL BLOSSOM over there with their VIXENS UNIFORM ! they’re never seen without it. rumours say they hail from RIVERDALE, but that just doesn’t sound right… after all, the NINETEEN year old STUDENT/SOCIALITE has lived their whole life here ! if they didn’t, surely they’d remember TAKING DOWN THE FARM. either way, i hope they enjoy their time in somnilia ! / madelaine petsch, cisfem, she/her. 

    rolling her eyes fondly at that comment, she just shook her head and decided to drop it at that. still, there was the hint of a smile adorning her lips as she took another spoonful of ice cream. if she continued, she was pretty sure that she wouldn’t hear the end of it from him.

“ i’d believe that when i see it, ” the brunette pointed out as she playfully waved the plastic spoon in front of his face. she could spot the false innocence from a mile away, but this friendly banter they had was something she did enjoy. the light bump against her shoulder had her returning one to him before a full blown smile appeared on her lips. “ yeah–i’d like that. my parents have already left anyway, ” elena noted with faux nonchalance, trying not to sound all too eager to spend some time with the bartender. 

       stepping away from where they were standing in front of the ride, she motioned towards the direction of the games booths. “ have you tried any of them? ” queried the girl as they made their way towards the crowd of people. since the sun has already set, it almost seemed like the number of people doubled.

     the night was still young ,  at least to him . while he couldn’t deny that the festival had exceeded his expectations , he didn’t know how much more there could be to enjoy about it . elenas company offered a promising shot .

     she was different than the  people he was used to being around . less intense , much softer and ... human . she was kind and warm , something he didn’t know if he’d ever been . still , against the odds , they were friends . ❝ i haven’t , not yet . ❞ kol mused , his arm playfully falling over her shoulder when he swayed back from the nudge . maybe one day he’d tell her how much he enjoyed being around her . raising a solo cup in a playful mockery , he added , ❝ i’ve just been checking out the competition , as any good employee would do . ❞

     there was a large variety  of colourful booths , all cluttered with various sized prizes and groups of people . ❝ pick your poison . ❞ he offered , dropping his arm and taking a few steps ahead only to turn back to face her . his arms outstretched as he stood between a skeeball booth and a dart game , a small grin tugging at the corner of his lips . ❝ either way , i’m probably going to win . ❞

closed. // @timebind· (for any of your muses)

hearing the screams, ron hesitated to go inside. some people came out laughing and others looked terrified. that didn’t put his mind at ease. not that he was such a scaredy cat, but you never know what you’ll find in a haunted house. eventhough he did like watching a horror movie now and then, he doesn’t feel like becoming part of one. there are too many movies that have haunted houses in them and people get killed. but this was just a spring fair, nothing bad would happen here. spotting a few kids exiting the building, laughing and joking with one another, ron took a deep breath. they didn’t look older than ten so if they could do it, he should be fine. when he noticed a presence near him, he turned to them. “have you been in there already?”

     he didn’t know why his  place of choice to take a break from the crowd was near the haunted house . each loud sound effect that struck and every scream that carried through the air made him flinch , yet he’d still rather be parked here than bumping shoulders with strangers .

     the voice makes him jump  slightly , though it’s much softer than the horrors he’d been listening to for the past fifteen minutes . a doubtful gaze is cast towards the old house he wanted to describe as cheesy , but only could define as eerie . ❝ uh , no . ❞ eddie mumbled as his gaze navigated back to meet the others . it was clear he was trying to act unbothered , not delighted to portray himself as a coward . especially not when people who appeared much younger than him were walking out in laughter . ❝ why ? are you going in ? ❞
