“Okay scrooge are you going to kick a dying child, next? Dude, it’s not so much a season as it is just one day. What’s the big deal about Christmas anyway?” 

“The best thing about this season is the mulled wine. And the selection of all sorts of Christmas alcohol in the supermarkets. That is the only thing that can get me in any sort of jolly mood. I fucking hate this season.” Charles said before he took a sip of his mulled wine.

Holding her against him once she moved over to lay on him, Alex kissed the top of her head. “You don’t keep fucking up, that’s not true” he said, choosing to ignore every time that she had fucked up before in their relationship, hoping that if he could forget her fuck ups she might forget his. “That’s fair, I deserve that” he nodded when she said she was going to use him cheating in later arguments, which he knew was going to kill him in the future but she had every right to stay mad about it. “You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that” he said with a sweet smile

“Okay well don’t start lying so soon,” she scoffed, her body slightly numb from the amount of drugs in her system. “You deserve a lot but I’m almost completely sedated so I guess you’re off the hook, we still have a lot to figure out...” Shaking her head she looked up, careful not to move her body. “If you do it again.. I’m out.”

“One month….just one month” he repeated, looking back at her. he smiled a little when she spoke again, “We’ll get your shoulder all fixed up after this and everything will get better, we just have to take it one step at a time” he said, climbing up on the other side of the hospital bed to lay with her. “I want you to come home, Ev… I can’t..” he paused, looking back at her. “I can’t keep doing this without you, I need you” he spoke quietly as he looked at her. “I know I messed up and I’m going to spend the rest of my life making that up to you, I just need you by my side”

As she nodded in acknowledgement, it almost felt like the way things were which was the way she missed things. “Then I can finally be a normal member of society... Wouldn’t that be nice,” she said as humor rattled her strained voice. As he laid down beside her, she didn’t waste any time. No, she rested her head on his chest, draping her arm and good leg over him. She could blame it on the drugs but she didn’t want to, that wasn’t her goal in the slightest and with every word he spoke, she only grew happier. “I... need you too, I just keep fucking up without you,” she paused while she looked up at him... “You did fuck up and when I’m angry I’ll probably bring it up just to hurt you but –– You’re my person. That still hasn’t changed.”

“If you do it without the police then you get arrested for everything you do with them, you understand that right?” he sighed, thinking to himself for a moment. She put him in a tough spot. He didn’t want the mission to continue, but he didn’t want her to do it alone, and he really didn’t want to arrest her. Shaking his head, he looked back at her, “1 month. I’ll give you 1 more month, that should be enough for you to fade out” he looked down at her hand as she let go of his. “I miss you, Ev”

“I know. That’s exactly why I’m saying it. I can help you legally or illegally. It’s your call,” she rasped, the drugs taking away the pain from her shoulder and her leg. Probably shouldn’t give her more than needed otherwise she’ll get hooked again. “Maybe after I can finally get that stupid shoulder surgery,” the girl scoffed, her smile dropping when he said he missed her.  Of course she missed him, she thought about him constantly and all she wanted was to do was to go home. Shifting slightly on the bed, she got to one side before patting the space next to her. “I miss you too.”

alex-buchanan‌:

“Unfortunately, I do have a say in if you go back or not, you’re my informant” he looked back at her, “You can’t make that call, Ev. I get that you don’t like me being in charge of you in this, I hate it too, that’s one of the many, many reasons why I didn’t want you to go through with this in the first place. But you don’t have the authority to say that I can’t call the shots, you’re not a cop and you’re not in charge of this operation. I’m sorry, but if I don’t pull you from this investigation, you still report to me” he said before shaking his head. “No, I haven’t. What about you, have you..been seeing anybody?”

“You’re not listening to me, this thing... I am going to finish it because if not, then she’s gonna find me, I can fade out, just give me time.” The girl rolled her eyes, “I don’t need your permission, I can still do it without the police. So if you don’t want to protect me, then you can do it,” she huffed before she cleared her throat, dropping his hand. “Of course not.”

alex-buchanan‌:

“That’s not true and you aren’t stupid, Ev, I keep telling you that” he said as he looked back at her. Sighing, he looked down for a second. “I know, I know. I messed up and you have every right to be mad at me. But how we started was not like this, you have to believe me” he said, pausing for a second. “You weren’t some random girl at a bar who threw herself at me, I’d already fallen in love with you before I’d ever even kissed you. This was just some stupid, stupid mistake and I would take it back if I could, you were never a mistake. I need you to believe me on this” he shook his head. “You’re not going to die, I would never let that happen, that’s why I have to pull you from the case”

“And I won’t stop denying it, Alex,” she spoke, her thumb brushing on the backside of his hand. “I know –– I don’t but, I’m trying to,” the girl huffed, sadness reaching over her. “You don’t have a say if I go back in or not and if I ... If I forgive you then things are going to have to change. You can’t call the shots like this anymore.” Evie wanted to take her hand away but knew that she just needed to be close to him. “Have you been seeing anyone?”

Sighing in annoyance, Chase closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was his fault, he knew. He came into a bathroom and crossed through a bar while his face was all bloody and didn’t even bother to lock the door. “You should leave,” he said, not threatening, but very seriously. “Leave and don’t tell anyone, don’t say anything.”

The girl couldn’t take her eyes off of the man covered in blood. Like Evie of all people would listen to what someone else said. “But I’m not leaving and I probably will say something,” she shrugged. “Did you kill someone?”

Letting out what seemed to be an eternal breath she had been holding forever, Valentina turned to Evie and felt the urge to shoot her, too, only out of frustration. She had hired the girl to stand by her side and take whatever came, but lately she was unreliable and getting herself in the hospital. “Yes I fucking can,” she said between gritted teeth. “Do you have a problem with it?” Valentina challenged Evie. 

She wished she could just back out and never see her pinched face again, but no, she had to go against fucking everything she was told. “No you really fucking can’t,” she hissed, looking over to the man covered in his own blood. “Yeah! I have a huge fucking problem with it! Windows are open, people could’ve seen us, you can’t just do that. Did you think about that one? ‘Cause it really seems like you didn’t.”

alex-buchanan‌:

“I don’t think anyone gets good at dodging bullets, people are just usually good at avoiding areas and situations where they could get shot….you usually go toward those situations” he said before shaking his head. “It took you thinking you were going to die for you to talk to me again, any time I tried to see you before now you’ve barely spoken to me” he frowned. 

“Well, you chose me for a reason, maybe it’s cause you like rescuing stupid girls,” she smiled weakly, turning over on her good side, looking at him with glazed eyes. “Alex,” she warned. “You... kissed someone else, I had a right to be angry especially since that’s how we started. You can’t put that on me,” her defenses growing higher by the second, her heart picking up pace. “I didn’t want to die without you knowing how I really feel.”

[evieharmon]

Ever since she got out of the hospital, she had been keeping a low profile, keeping her injuries a secret from Val for the most part and keeping her nose out of the police’s radar. She’d had enough of everyones interference and she was focused on getting her job done. Standing next to Valentina, just like she always did, she kept her mouth shut but within seconds she heard gunshots, and she had to make sure it wasn’t her again, flashbacks puncturing her memory as she stood there shocked to reveal a dead man on the floor. “What the –– Valentina, you can’t just,” she looked around to notice how many people were taking note of the noise. “You can’t just kill a man,” she told her, struck with fear.

Things had not been going the way Valentina wanted them to. She was trying to keep everything together, but for some reason things just kept falling apart. Tonight was not supposed to be her responsibility. She paid people for this, for fuck’s sake. But, she was the type of person to take matters into their own hands. And so, she did. She took the matter – a gun. She was so in the moment that she didn’t even think to look twice before she pulled it out and shot dead the man that she knew had been stealing the drugs she was supposed to be smuggling across the world. Valentina had had enough of the incompetence. Now she just had to deal with her own.

“Neither am I” he said, giving her a look when she commented on the fact that he’d never been shot. “Normally you’d be pretty happy that I don’t have any bullet holes in me” he said, nodding a little, “You don’t have to apologize, I get it. Just trust me, you’re going to be in more pain if you keep moving” he said, giving her hand a light squeeze as she spoke again. “I know, but I’m here now, and I’m not going anywhere” he said with a small smile, “I promise, you don’t have to be scared anymore, I’m here”

“Then it looks like we’re both shit out of luck,” she mused with a weak appearance, dismal features taking over. “I’m pretty happy about it I’m just mad that this isn’t my first time being shot, I still haven’t mastered the whole ‘staying out of the way’ thing.” Evie tried her best to stay still but it wasn’t any use, no matter what she did, she was still going to be riddled with pain. “Yeah, I thought that was true but it took you thinking I was dead to come and find me.”

“I tried to say all of this before you ever got hurt doing this and you still didn’t listen to me. It doesn’t matter when I bring it up, you’re always going to dismiss it” he said, looking back at her. “Don’t- don’t move. You’re just going to hurt yourself if you try to move, just rest, please” he said, his voice soft. Sighing as she asked to talk about it later, he complied, not wanting to upset her more when she was in this condition. Taking her hand, he looked back at her. “I was at the station when the call came in over the radio, I heard the descriptions and I just-…I knew it was you, I don’t know, I felt it”

“I’m not gonna change my mind,” she said, the bandage on her leg coming undone as she tried to move to a comfortable position which just made her shoulder ring with pain. “Easy for you to say, I don’t see any bullet holes in you,” she cursed before narrowing her eyes. She had to shake it off. “Fuck, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that,” she spoke, looking over at him again with a softer expression. “I was freaking out when I was there ––– at the place. I just didn’t to die and I kept thinking about you and how you weren’t there,” she continued as she squeezed his hand. “And I was scared when I woke up here alone.”

“It just really seems like you hate me…” he frowned, very much so not used to people giving him the cold shoulder when all he’d tried to do was get along with them. “I don’t know, I’m just trying…and it kind of feels like you dont even give me a chance to get along with you, I guess…is what I’m trying to say”

“If you’re around long enough, it seems like I hate everyone,” she said without range to her voice. “I don’t know what you want? If you’re looking for a best friend, I’m not a very good one so I don’t know what you want me to do for you. I’m really not the dress up type, I don’t talk about feelings with everyone, stop me when I get to your favorite thing that I don’t do.” 

[evieharmon]

alex-buchanan‌:

“I won’t let you because you’re gonna get killed out there. It’s a dangerous environment full of dangerous people and I-….That scares the shit out of me, I want you to be safe” he shook his head, “Ev, you can guarantee that I won’t lose you- I mean look at you right now, you could have died today. The deal didn’t change, no matter what happens between us, I would rather die than see you get hurt. I don’t want you going back out there, I didn’t want you going out there in the first place”

“Alex, don’t. You can’t just come in while I’m recovering, rules blazing and expect me to follow them,” she said, eyes narrowing as she felt a pain in her chest as she tried to move. “The deal did change but, can we drop it? It’s not fair that you’re head of this and I have to follow what you say,” she spoke. “Can we just talk about it later,” she said, eyes dropping as he mentioned them as a them. Evie held her hand for him to take again, “How’d you know it was me?”

“Do you-..” he paused, not sure he’d like the answer to his own question. “Do you not like me?” he asked, shrugging, “I- I mean like, did I do something to make you not like me?”

She took a second to think about what he just asked her, not putting a single emotion on her face. “No and no. I just don’t know you,” she shrugged. “Why do you care?”

[evieharmon]

brendon-rulli‌

Taking off the mask of the costume, Brendon looked over at Evie. “Can I ask you something?” 

“You can do whatever you want.” 

[evieharmon]

alex-buchanan‌:

“What?” he said, looking back at her as she said she didn’t want to stop working as an informant. “Ev-..I..” he struggled with finding the right words to say about it. “I can’t let you do that, you almost died today, I’m not going to lose you” he shook his head. “I told you going into this that the only way I was going to be okay with it was that I was pulling the plug the second you got hurt, I stand by that”

“I’m not done,” she said, her eyes riddled with saddness and pain, she just wanted to be close to him again, but this wasn’t what she had in mind, not in the slightest. She looked over towards him and frowned, “I don’t know why you won’t let me,” she said, her hand clenching the railing of the bed. “It wasn’t.. I wasn’t ready, it wasn’t even against me,” she begged, her eyes welling with tears again. “You’re not going to lose me, I’m right here,” she  pleaded with a rasp. “The deal changed, you know that.”
