    SHE      FROWNS      AS      GLASSES      ADJUST.                     ❛           it  matters  to      me.      i  felt  sick  to  my  stomach  for  a      whole      week      after.           ❜           it  was  true      -      jess  had      barely      helped  move  her  things  in  to  her  apartment  with  cece.  she  had      mostly      just  laid  on  the  couch  and  watched  dirty  dancing,  occasionally  opening  a  box  and  dumping  the  contents  out  on  the  floor.  bright  eyes  look  at  him,  and      impulsively      she  rests  a  hand  on  his  knee.           ❛           i’m      sorry      for  leaving  like  that.  i  didn’t  know  how  else  to  break  it  to  you,  but  it  was      mean      and  i  shouldn’t  have  done  it      that      way.           ❜

    LIPS      PRESS      TOGETHER      AND      SHE      LAUGHS      COLDLY.                     if  only  he      knew      the  root  of  it  all.           ❛           that’s  what  a  lot  of  people  say.  but  i  just  don’t  ever      see      it.           ❜           because  why  would      anyone      be  into      her      of  all  people.           ❛           in  middle  school  and  high  school,  i  was      always      second  to  cece.  boys  gave  me  flowers  to  give  to      her      or      valentines   ��  or      chocolate.      and  it  only      escalated      when  she  became  a  model.  and,  i  dunno,  i  guess  that  mind  set           -           that  all      any      guy  wants  from  me  is  to  get  to  my      best      friend           -           has  just  …      followed      me.      especially      after  spencer  cheated.  you  get      rejected      enough  times  you  just  think           :           well  then  maybe  the  problem  is      me.           ❜           the  words  are  said  in  a      half      hearted      tone,  but  she  tries  to  keep  the  conversation  light.           ❛           i  mean,      especially      you.  you  flirted  with  cece  for  the  first  couple  months  we  knew  each  other           -           i  was      sure      you  guys  were  gonna  hook  up.           ❜

          HE WASN’T AWARE THAT HE WANTED AN APOLOGY UNTIL HE RECEIVED ONE. He’s reminded of the emotions he felt when she left him. While he carries the belief that it’s in the past and that he’s forgiven her long ago, those words are the true closure he needs. Warm eyes briefly shift to her fingers upon his jeans, and he’s THANKFUL that she progresses the conversation elsewhere. 

          “ME AND CECE?” HE CAN’T MASK HIS OWN LAUGH. “You know flirting was such a game for me. I was just havin’ fun back then; it didn’t really mean anything.” However, he’s evolved from that point -- perhaps not too far, as he still enjoys the thrill of exchanging chides with another. It’s just that his sights are focused in on people he can actually see a future with. JESS IS ONE OF THEM. An affectionate hand settles upon hers ( the one upon his thigh ), fingers squeezing her hand as he catches her gaze, a genuine curvature to his lips. He feels his heart drum within his chest, and he attempts to suppress the urge to kiss her -- now ever-prevalent due to how alcohol has loosened his veins. “Maybe I was just practicin’ to make sure I would IMPRESS YOU. You caught my eye pretty early.”

     ARMS CROSS OVER HER CHEST AS SHE TRUDGES FORWARDS, LIGHT SPLASHES marking her steps as a grin pulls across her lips. the mask isn’t necessary and she knows it, but she likes the aesthetic. “oh, i watched the action from somewhere dry. leather and water… not a great mix. and i worked too hard on my makeup to watch it melt.” one hand reaches out, gloved fingers brushing lightly against his cheek as she draws closer. “schedule me? is it that tight of a fit, baby?”

          LIPS CURLED INTO A DEVILISH GRIN, his gaze drops to watch her when claws graze his skin. “You better watch out talkin’ about tight fits,” he jokes, blue digits finding comfort upon her shoulder. He blinks slowly, cursed by a foggy tunnel-vision of adoration. “How about I take you out on a motorcycle ride? I definitely think we’ve both got time for that.”

‘ you just gotta believe, dude. ’ HE GRINS, truly people from the future always were the hardest to convince ‘ — look, i just don’t like go around saying this to a lot of people, but i don’t know, man, you seem like a cool enough guy. ’ HE’S TEASING, a hint of SARCASM. such a teenager at times.

          “UH HUH,” THE NOISE IS INSTINCTIVE. Ashton soon crosses his arms, curiosity plastered onto his lips as he tilts his head. There’s a part of him which isn’t too shocked -- his own abilities remain at the forefront of his thoughts. “How do you do it? You got a machine or a fancy watch or somethin’?”

@shesurvivor !

          “I THOUGHT CATS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AFRAID OF WATER,” he teases, brow furrowed as he finally catches sight of the suited woman watching overhead. Blue gloves meet his own hips, completely dry in spite of the thin layer of water that still coats the street after a telekinetically-resolved water tower failure. “If you came for the action, it’s all over now,” he pauses, “But if you came for ME, I think I can schedule you in.”

@websaved !

          HIS BOTTOM LIP DROPS, TAKEN ABACK MORE THAN HE EXPECTS TO BE. She’s always been beautiful in his eyes, yet there are core moments where he can only appreciate her, a slick tongue stuck in a moment of vulnerability. “You look great, MJ,” he’s able to recover, smile curled ‘pon excited lips. “You ready to go?”

[atomotus]

@timedtm !

          “IS THAT SOME JOKE?” he furrows his brow, yet there’s a small chuckle slipping past his lips, indicating that he lacks true offense. “Listen, I know I dress like a greaser, but I’m really NOT from the sixties.”

unastute / @unastute:

    SHE      CHOKES      ON      HER      DRINK      AT      THE      QUESTION.                     she’s  wasn’t  ready  for  it,  not  in  the      slightest.      hand  covers  her  mouth,  trying  to  stop  the  liquid  from  getting  all  over  her      pajamas      as  well.  eyes  look  at  him  behind  wide  rims,  not      entirely      sure  how  to  answer  his  question.           ❛           i  …      well      i      …            ❜           she  stops  her  words  to      swallow      and  try  to  catch  her  breath.  eventually  she  shakes  free  of  the  fog  and  looks  him  dead  in  the  eye.  if  she  wanted  things  to  get  back  to      normal,      jess  had  to  stop  skirting  around  the  edge  of  the  problem.           ❛           yeah.      yeah,      i  do,  actually.  i  never      stopped      thinking  it.           ❜           but  that  wasn’t       why      she  had  cut  it  off,  either  time,  and  he      knew      it.

    OF      COURSE      SHE      NOTICES.                     jess  is      acutely      aware      of  how  people  express  their  feelings  toward  her,  and  his  words  catch  her  like  a      small      punch.      but  it  isn’t  something  for  her  to  dwell  on.  after  all,  she  had  said      no,      right  ?  when  she  looked  at  him,  she  didn’t  see  the      ashton      she  once  knew.  she      barely      saw  the  ashton  she  fell  in  love  with  years  ago.  she  motions  for  him  to  take  a  brownie,  she  herself  picking  at  the  top  of  one  in  thought.           ❛           see,  i      never      thought  you’d  go  for  me.  and  after  …  well,      you      know.      i  didn’t  think  i  stood  a      chance      with  you.           ❜           she  is  referring,  of  course,  to  her      leaving      him      to  move  to  los  angels.           ❛           i  never      apologized      for  that,  did  i  ?           ❜

         THIS IS WHERE THEY SHARE COMMON GROUND. There’s something awfully ironic about her line, thinking she didn’t stand a chance with him, for it’s now the harsh reality that he faces. She’s extinguished those passionate flames, yet a warm kindling will always remain. He will ALWAYS want her, whether it’s verbalized or not. He can’t help it. To help distract himself, his fingers retrieve a brownie, taking a bite from the soft chocolate.

         “YOU DIDN’T.” While the response is blunt, he appears relaxed. He’s lost any resentment about that day long ago. “That’s okay anyway. I’m not sure how much it matters anymore.” He even releases a small laugh, the corner of his lips turned upward. There’s a hum in his throat as he finishes his brownie, accompanied by a pause as he evaluates how far this genuine-natured streak will go. Impulse carries him forward, yet he keeps an awareness for his boundaries. “You always seem to think people aren’t gonna be into you, Jess, and I hope that changes one day -- y’know, for your own sake.”

ashton, especially when he’s older, may be able to ‘ breathe ‘ underwater by using his telekinesis to take in gaseous oxygen from the water... it would be rly difficult and would probably take a lot of training, but may be possible !
