♕ -- king poppy

As he pulled away for only a moment to call out her name, Poppy couldn’t help but smile, giggling every few times he continued to kiss her between breaths. “Ken--” She replied back before her lips were once again connected with his, her fingers tugging lightly at his hair.

Poppy: ah well okay... at least you made it out?

Faith: ya i dnt wanna stick around to kno his thoughts

Poppy: everyday there's something knew with you.

“basically all of my life.” he answered. “i’m from there actually, brooklyn to be exact.” he added, smiling at her. “you?”

“I, um, went to school there--” It wasn’t really a lie, “Just high school, then I came back at the end of my last year. I lived mainly in the city, in the heart of manhattan.”

Poppy: WHAT DID HE SAY??

Faith: ehh he didn't rlly 'say'.. he shrieked

She felt his hands slowly trace down her arms, reaching her waist, and as he pulled her closer, Poppy brought her other hand up towards his neck as well, her fingers lacing into his hair. She couldn’t help but smile the whole time, allowing him to deepen the kiss, the humming noises he made vibrating within her and only causing her to be more nervous, but excited nevertheless.  

His interest really took Poppy by surprise-- she didn’t understand why someone would invest time in her. And yet, there he was, leaning back down to kiss her and she just melted away and complied, one hand reaching up to rest lightly behind his neck, offering some type of balance as she smiled into the kiss, her face flaming red. It was so sweet-- he was so sweet and different, unlike any other person she had been with before, and for a moment, Poppy realised this was uncharted territory. She didn’t know how to react, what to think, and what would come of this. But for those for seconds, she let herself melt away from Ken’s touch. 

Poppy: WHY DID YOU THROW UP ON HIM?

Faith: SOMETHING DIDN'T AGREE WITH MY STOMACH

H: i didn't have any sleep at all

H: i went ghost hunting with my whole team at this hotel we're staying in

H: it didn't end up well and now i cannot sleep :---)

H: pls distract me thx

P: why would you do that! LOL

“More like actually blunt and real people everywhere.” he corrected her, smiling. “Feel like New York is one of the best places to get a reality check on the world and people. But yeah, a lot of them are pretty angry alot.” he chuckled.

“I love it,” She smiled, “How long did you live in New York?”

If her stomach could’ve imploded in that moment from her nerves, it would’ve. She didn’t know what it was about Ken that made her so weak and frail, but it was there, and it was strong, and it controlled Poppy. Without thinking, the moment his fingers gently touched her chin, she reached up and kissed him lightly on the lips. “Shit, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-- Well, I did, but...” She pulled away, stumbling over her words as she tried to explain her impulsive actions. 

She looked down at smiled, feeling her face redden even more, and that in turn making her even more embarrassed. “Thank you,” Pop whispered, trying her hardest to not look back up at him, her stomach in knots as she became nervous. “Thanks for coming up here with me.”

“Why are you apologising?” She interrupted, furrowing her eyebrows as she turned to look over at Ken. She gave his hand a little squeeze and smiled, “As long as I’m with you too, it’ll be alright.”

flynn laughed, shaking his head. “yeah, gotta love that New York atmosphere.” he joked.

“How can you not?” She smiled fondly, thinking back to the good old days where she lived in New York. “Angry people everywhere-- my kind of people.”

Faith: Hypothetically, if I threw up on a hot cop do you think I'd get arrested after he's done cleaning himself up?

Faith: HYPOTHETICALLY

“You’ve got to choose your buildings wisely and the timing has to be just right.” She smiled, sneaking a glance over at him, “Of course-- most of the time I just draw. If you’re okay with me just sitting for a bit and working on a piece, that’s fine.”
