smokestacks | mara & jude.
@marakingston
Like birds of a feather, the wayward flocked together. Although, clad in a leather jacket and supported atop the growl of a bike, he would suppose the reason they were drawn to one another (like the claws of a cat to a dangling thread) would be due to similarities neither one would confess; they were outward polar opposites which encompassed hearts as tarred as the other and a mindset most would simply brush off as stubborn - a feeble word considering the longevity of their game.
As he brought the vibrations of his transport to a halt, supporting his helmet across the tattered seat, he merely ran his scuffed fingertips across excess facial hair and meandered towards the entrance of her humble abode. It was what he expected - picturesque and fitting for what she had earlier stamped with the acclaimed title of a Southern Belle. Mara was far too contradictory to fit into the box; a doe-eyed enigma with thick skin and a bite believed to be venomous. Nonetheless, as curled knuckles drummed an irregular beat, he stuffed his palms into the confinements of fabric and awaited what he would assume would be her grandmother. Although Jude often mingled better with family members rather than his primary focus, he would remain to grasp onto the belief she at least possessed the smallest of soft spots for him.
“Surprisingly, your ant-sized legs can walk a hell of a lot quicker than I thought they could,” he mused, stretching his lips outwards into an exaggerated grin.

Mara: I wasn't thinking that. I was thinking that you talk too much and it ends up becoming a regular thing. Can't say I'd be a big fan of you and my grandma being BFF's.
Mara: I'll leave the door open, I'm on my way back myself.
Jude: that's just a common occurrence with me and everyone else's family
Jude: what can i say, i'm a likable guy

Mara: I told you. Silly you. You should work on that.
Mara: Your confidence in yourself is overwhelming. And I have no idea what it is that's making you think that, but it's not. And for the record, I never said a word about forcing me into anything. Relax. I'm not painting you as a complete dickhead, here.
Mara: Eh.
Jude: it's better than having no confidence at all

Mara: You can fly?
Mara: When has having sex with you ever been discussed? I was talking more in general leaving me alone. You're the one who jumped straight to that.
Mara: Besides, you know that's not going to happen.
Jude: apologies for assuming that when u hypothetically mention hooking up, i assume ur hypothetically talking about hooking up. silly me lol !!!!
Jude: let me just clear one thing up and u can take it or leave it: it's probably going to happen and i'm cool with that, but i'd only be cool with that if u were. i'm not gonna force u into this, mara.
Jude: even tho u and i both know it'd be a great time

Mara: You never know, Jane Austen was into some kinky shit behind closed doors, you might get horny mid-chapter. All those beady eyes on you. Hey, old people could like orgies too.
Mara: You're disgusting.
Mara: But hey, if I hook you up, does this mean you'll leave me alone? 'Cause it might be worth it.
Jude: the oldest i have ever gone is 36 and i plan to not go any further. yet, anyway.
Jude: i know

Mara: Not to mention the fact I don't want you in my house, so you can add that to the list of good reasons too.

Jude: u say this like i'm suddenly gonna try and hump ur grandmother's leg
