#{ Busy life of a heiress ( Queue )}

[johnwickb1tsch]

hmmmm ok finally got to think about this. what iffffff... I LOVE the idea of him being the illegitimate son of a politician, or maybe even a billionaire business tycoon. Someone powerful. His mother was a beautiful actress or model or something? he's used to being adjacent to big wealth, but maybe was always kind of on the outside looking in?

What if...he's broke, and he's used to living a certain way. He's conniving but kind of ridiculous, so he fixates on you (an heiress, OR a self-made woman) as a mark. he's trying to get you to fall in love with him... Mayyyybeeee you're a bit of an innocent...?🥴 Corruption kink, anyone? Also, somehow adjacent to his half brother, who he haaaaates. you're his sister's friend? who pedro has a crush on???

(maybe you're an heiress and don't even know it?? You live a normal life and he sweeps you off your feet with money he doesn't actually have. At first it's dazzling, but then it just gets ridiculous. He has intel that some distant auntie left you in her will as a fuck you to her ingrate offspring...and he hopes to cash in)

queue a montage of fun dates, ridiculous fails, and...hot animal sex on a yacht?? but he falls for his own grift!! he realizes he actually DOES love you--you're kind and sweet and so unexpected--while you realize he's been trying to play you this whole time. 😱😱😱 like maybe one of your friends who knows his deal from school and always hated him records him talking to one of his bros during a massage sesh 🤣...dun dun dun!!

tragic ending ---> you kick his ass to the curb, you never come to an understanding.

happy ending ---> john comes crawling to you humbled and apologizing, and you forgive him. but girl you make him sign one HELLUVA prenup! 🤣

but what WOULD a modern don John AU look like??? 🤔👀👀😆 @scarlettspectra @discoscoob @treedaddymcpuffpuff @sweetwolfcupcake @ghcstpyre @lilithlinen

In shock, Miran looked at the gun the young man in front of the two women held. Was she aware just how dangerous the streets outside were, especially for those of wealth, she would somehow still never have thought to ever cross paths with a situation as such. Of her life being threatened for a short time being unless she’d give the person, who’s face was hidden underneath a wide hood, all her money.

The more glad the young heiress had been to have the other woman on her side, who apparently had noticed the seriousness so much quicker. So now, Miran stood behind her. Couldn’t help still however, but to swallow down in nervous manner, while gently grabbing the shoulder of the other woman.

“ Let’s just... go... okay? Maybe he’s just bluffing? “

“Oh…so you have monster in your family too?”, it was the best way to word his thoughts, glancing up as Strelitzia tugged on his arm, pulling them both over to the counter that had been set up for them to bake, “…oh…oh!”, Rai gasped slightly, jumping up onto one of the stools,”We’re actually making cookies!”. “Yeah! We can make some as presents too…but we keep the yummy ones”, Strelitzia grinned, giving the boy a gentle nudge before she pulled one of the bowls towards them, “Okay! Miran can measure things out and we shall do the mixing!”

“ Please be careful during mixing though and pull up your sleeves. If something is stuck or doesn’t feel right, please tell me and don’t try to fix anything on your own. You will just risk to get hurt. “, she warned both the children. Luckily enough, the chef had already prepared the ingredients soon before he had left. Surprisingly, despite this hotel being under her ownership, she always felt pretty lost in the kitchen.

So all she had to, was to look at the receipe that was put on the counter after she had asked the kitchen staff. Miran herself could ever hardly remember such things - did she never cook or bake on any other days but close to christmas after all. She wasn’t raised to make her hands ‘dirty’ like this and so she also wouldn’t do it, as long as she had others to do this - this occassion was really the only exception she’d ever make. Not just because it kind of amused her as well, but also for the sake of her sister and now also for Rai.

“ Monster? HAH! That’s an understatement... “, Miran continued the talk with the boy, as she weighted the flour. Eyebrows knitted together, “ Those fool women are a snakes, their mother Mrs. Don’t-do-this-don’t-do-that personally. The next time any of those comes to the hotel, I’ll ensure to get their goddamn butts kicked out so quick, that they must fly back to Europe! “

A train of mutterings followed afterwards, while she looked closely on the receipe again, “ Maybe we should poison the cookies we send to them, but they will surely let them be tasted by their staff first and I can’t get risked to fall that low... “

king of wishful thinking || solo (part 2/2)

Summary: Rumiko finally gives Tony what he needed.

-

They met on an island. No, that wasn’t right – they met the first time in an alley, when Tony burst out of the stifling gala and made his way to lean against the brick, when she had arrived in her red dress and clanging gold jewellery and passed him a drink. She had stood beside him, just close enough that their shoulders touched, and she hadn’t said anything, hadn’t needed to. Her eyes had been dead ahead as he finished the bottle, and once it left his lips, her mouth replaced it.

The second time they met, now that had been on an island, six months later, six months after Tony wondered why the hell he allowed her to stay over, why the hell he had stayed in the bed with her. It was a routine; fall into bed with someone, someone that made his stomach burn up like he’d drank all the whiskey in the world, then fall out of bed straight after, go down to the workshop, use that moment of relaxation to bring some new innovation into reality.

Rumiko had been his first exception. Even with Ty, he crawled into the other twin bed, turned his back to him and went to sleep. Rumiko talked to him afterwards, kept him up to two o’clock in the morning explaining electron collisions and Newton’s laws, and then she had given a single yawn, touched the side of his face and said, “I don’t understand a single word you just said, but I do like watching you say them, lover.”

Lover. He had kissed her so hard when she said that she just kept saying it, said it for years, every time receiving at least a smile, even in the midst of arguments. He could never stay mad at her, never had any reason to.

On that island, they’d gone for a walk on the beach after twilight. Tony babbled on and on for three hours again, something about economics, the stock market, trade unions … and Rumiko stayed quiet, occasionally letting out a small squeal when she found a new shell to shove in her purse to bring home. “Do you usually talk economics when you’re walking with a girl under a tropical moon?” she had teased, so he had kissed her, and she had told him that if her father was there he’d go insane, and Tony had pulled away.

“Why are you stopping? I love driving my father insane. A billionaire playboy? He’ll go nuts. Come on, lover, play the game.”

Rumiko wasn’t scared of her father, so Tony kissed her again. He played the game until it became more than a game, until he was in front of her down on one knee, making maybe the first proposal in history that didn’t include the word love in there somewhere.

She had pushed the ring out of his hand and grabbed him in a hug, pressing kisses all over his face. “I love you Tony Stark, I love you I love you I love you.”

Everything had been second to her (everything but alcohol, but she knew that). The company, his friends, even Ty fell to the way-side. He spent his days curled up on the sofa with her watching movies, occasionally tapping away on his phone, talking to managers and investors, and he spent the nights at galas and parties where she shone brighter than any light he could create.

She had made fun of weddings. At least, the ones big enough to warrant security at every door. She used to drag him along to ceremonies just to laugh at the whole damn idea. She made him promise there’d be no finger food at theirs, just a barbecue and a buffet, and that there’d be no prospective business partners to impress, no political leaders clamouring to get the young couple’s approval, none of that. Just them and three hundred of their closest friends.

Hypocritical. That was the word he’d use to describe the whole damn day. It was the perfect traditional ceremony right down to the bridesmaid dresses. Tony had fallen in love with Rumiko because she rebelled, because she was more than just the superficial party girl façade she hid behind. He fell in love with her because she was different. How things had changed, in every way.

Carol was safety. He rotated around her all night he was surprised she didn’t suffocate. When she made a movement towards the bathroom, Tony reluctantly agreed to hold their space in the queue for party favours; Carol wanted the bottle opener made of a massive diamond, probably because Tony had dared her five years ago to try smashing a diamond with her pinkie finger, and she never backed down from a dare.

Once the bottle opener was safely deposited in the inside pocket of his suit jacket, Tony’s eyes sought out the bar that was least busy and made his way towards it. He was halfway there when a small, intimately familiar body stepped in front of him, and he felt like he’d been slammed in the stomach by a bus.

Rumiko blinked up at him, her brown eyes shining, hair pulled up off her face in an intricate up-do. She still had that little unruly strand that lay flat against her forehead, and he was about to reach out, about to push it back, when she got there herself.

“Tony,” she said, her voice achingly familiar. “I’m glad you could come.”

“Eiko,” Tony blurted. Rumiko continued to look up at him. “Your dress. It’s an Eiko, isn’t it? 2016, Spring Collection?”

“Close, it was the Fall.” A small smile crossed her face as Tony clicked his fingers in frustration. “You always impressed me with your eye. Akinobu said the Fall Collection complemented the feel of the day. It also had more zeroes on the price tag, and you know I appreciate a good bargain.”

Tony shook his head, keeping his eyes anywhere but on hers. “Only you could include millions and bargain in the same thought.”

“No,” Rumiko said. “Not only me. You do that, too.”

The absence of lover rang true for both of them, and Rumiko hovered awkwardly before dropping the sentence. Tony appreciated it.

“Why did you invite me?” he asked, because talking money and fashion had never been what they did. (Well, it was, but it always meant something else too, something deeper. He saw to the steel underneath.)

Rumiko didn’t flinch. She always seemed to be a step ahead of people. Tony was good with machines, but Rumiko had always read other humans like a book. That was why they had worked for so long, why he had almost married her.

“I wanted to talk to you,” she said.

“I’m here. We’re talking. I have a phone, you know.”

“I wanted to talk about something important.”

“Me being tortured for three months was pretty important, you know? Ty called. You didn’t.”

“Yeah but you and Ty-”

“What?”

“It was different.”

“Was it?”

“He was your best friend.”

“Questionable.”

“He was your roommate.”

“He was more than that.”

“I was your fiancée. It’s different.”

“I was sleeping with him for years, I don’t see how that’s-”

Rumiko held up a hand. “What?”

Tony furrowed his eyebrows together. “What?”

Her face was almost impossible to read. She was shutting herself off from him again, that openness he had seen displayed almost all day vanishing in front of him. He tried to think back in the conversation, wondering what had changed, and then he realised.

“Wait.” The arc reactor whirred under his jacket. “Are you telling me you didn’t know?”

For all the facades, she built up around her, when it came down to it, she was a book that anyone could read if they cared enough, more like Tony than either would admit. Her hand moved up to her mouth. “I swear,” she muttered. “I mean, I knew there was something, but Ty said-”

“Ty said what?” Tony snapped.

“Ty said it was unreciprocated!”

He was underwater all over again, screaming to be let up, the lack of oxygen burning in his chest.

“He said he was straight, that you came out to him and he couldn’t love you that way. He said you never treated him the same afterwards, that’s why he was so angry…”

He was yelling, his chest was shorting out, he could hear Yinsen in the background arguing in whatever language he could that they needed Stark alive, that he was better this way than dead, that he wouldn’t make it out of the desert anyway.

Rumiko’s hand dropped, but it didn’t go to her side. Instead, it clasped Tony’s, and he allowed it.

“I know what I did was wrong,” she said. Tony wondered if this was the first time she had ever said those words in her life. He felt like he didn’t even know this girl, this woman, this wife and daughter and perfect heiress. “I know that, Tony. I know I betrayed your trust, but I swear to you, if you ever loved me at all, you have to believe that I didn’t know.”

Did it make a difference? Either way, she had slept with his roommate, one of his closest friends. She had slept with someone who wasn’t Tony, that was all that mattered. But somehow, looking into her eyes that were swimming with something not unlike …

Love.

“Ru,” Tony whispered. He could hear the crowd around them murmuring. Isn’t that the playboy she had a fling with back in the early noughties? No, that’s Tony Stark, international tech mogul. I heard he slept with his secretary. I heard he slept with everyone. He looked into her eyes, and the crowd faded. It always had. “Ru, why are you telling me this now?”

She glanced around. She had always been aware of her perception, always played on it, but now, twenty years down the line she played with it instead. She had finally fallen into place, finally given in to her family’s demands, and Tony couldn’t find it within himself to resent her for it. After all, he hadn’t gotten her out.

“I couldn’t talk to you when there … when there was still a chance of us.”

He could’ve written it, what her answer would’ve been. She had waited all these years until she was married, until she couldn’t go back to him, until he couldn’t take her back. She knew he would without a second’s hesitation, no matter what she had done. After the anger had evaporated, he’d been so damn lonely and drowning in his own regrets and self-pity that he would’ve easily fallen back into bed with her.

She wanted to wait until they couldn’t happen to fix what they had been before. It was maybe the most mature decision Rumiko had made in the course of their entire relationship, and Tony hated her for it.

“Right,” Tony said, voice cold. He reached into his jacket pocket, his hand pulling out a pair of sunglasses. “Is that it? I really have to get back to my date, the jet’s leaving in a half hour.”

Rumiko’s jaw squared. She would never be the one to beg him to stay, even when she should’ve. Even when she could’ve. “It’s your jet, Tony. You decide when it leaves.”

“You’re right.” Tony slipped the sunglasses on. He spotted Carol over Rumiko’s shoulder and pointed to the door. “It’s leaving in five. Have a nice life, Rumiko.”

She opened her mouth again, but he pushed past her. He stopped for only a second, a moment’s worth of hesitation at the door, and turned back to her.

“You look beautiful,” he told her, and them, because he couldn’t stop himself, “don’t fuck this one up too.”

For a moment when Tony stepped onto the jet, he felt like he’d accomplished something. He felt like he’d ripped that photo album in his workshop, the one hidden under plans and cardboard boxes, and he’d put a bookend on that bit of his life.

Then he sat down, put Carol’s new bottle opener to work, and drunk himself into a stupor that only ended when he woke up surrounded by models, a blond, muscular man on the sofa that had suspiciously blue eyes, and the overwhelming feeling that he’d fucked everything up.

Again.

@dawnxtoxdusk​ asked: [ kiss ] for your muse to come up to mine and kiss them without warning - Fyodor

Nonverbal Memes - no longer accepting

Whenever she looked at him, her eyes would be filled with scorn - and whenever she felt his lips on hers, she couldn’t help but feel disgust. Disgust over him, over herself, over this whole sorry excuse of ‘soulmates’. With each passing day the bitter taste in her mouth became worse and with yet another kiss, she felt how she just wanted to end this all. How her mind circled around the thought, of just trying to end him.

How was a person meant to stay sane, when life had taken such sharp turn? When being married to a man, who’s eyes were so full of insanity?

Miran blinked, before she mentally shook her head. One day she would be able to free Dazai and Chuuya from where Fyodor kept them prisoned and make sure, they would take Strelitzia and Juan with them into freedom. Until then, she had to be strong. No matter how difficulty this all was - especially with being unable to lie to her husband.

“ Strangely affectionate of you, to kiss me all of the sudden. “, she commented the kiss, “ Is there a specific reason? “

After trying to feed the stray cats that she saw often run around the streets, Miran looked at the child beside her. Her expression clearly showing, that in her mind only question marks existed for a moment. “ But dogs and cats are both animals. “.

Her gaze went back to the cats, that only backed away from the food she had tried to give them. Even more confused than before, “ Both eat meat... so there should be no difference, right? “

[a-frozcnlight]

@agent-candyfloss​ asked: ❝ i don’t get scared. i’m practically fearless. ❞

“ Good, then you go forward into that abandoned building. “.

Miran herself wasn’t looking all too forward to enter it. The way the wind howled through broken glass, how something - a door or another window - banged into its frame again and again and the full moon was their only light in this dark night. All in one, for those who were brave and loved spooky adventures, this was just perfect. For a small heiress, who had to watch over a whole hotel, raise a little sister and definitely didn’t want to get killed? Not so.

So far she had only heard stories about abandoned buildings, read some things in books. But she wasn’t the naive type in this case, to believe things of made up stories... or at least she’d like to think so.

The truth however was, that she felt how small beads of sweat ran down her face. How she had to take deep breaths to restrain herself from running away from this old building, which’s walls looked like as if a single touch would make them break in instantly. Vines had crawled up the house, which once was a mansion, but that didn’t make its appearance less frightening.

“ Actually... yes, go in first if you’re fearless. I’m right after you. “, or she’d just stay outside and hope the fellow woman would come back unharmed and quick.

“ Oh? Is that supposed to be a threat? Or a promise perhaps? “.

If there was a time one should not fight with the young woman - it was today. Her mood had already spiraled down so shortly after the morning. So if he wanted to make the tables turn? He could do so. But she’d goddamn make sure they would fly back straight at him - or anywhere else. Perhaps, she also just took it a bit too literal? She wasn’t all too sure, but she guess she would sooner or later find out.

Taking one aggressive sip from her tea, she put back the cup with a loud ‘clack’, almost breaking the porcelain of the plate underneath by the force she used, “ And if you do so, don’t use this table, alright? I don’t want my tea to go to waste. “

For a moment he concerned being honest, and telling her that it was far from so innocent. At least on his end. True, he hadn’t intended to get her involved in any of this but he knew for a fact who was chasing them. He also knew that he had obtained some very incriminating evidence on that same person and fully intended to sell it to the highest bidder.

That being the only thing truly stopping him from putting an end to this right now. For none of the information was worth much with their pursuer dead. Which would mean they couldn’t get caught.

So he ignored her panicking as he paced around the room, pretending to look for a way out he knew wasn’t there.

“Undoubtedly,” he said, even though depending on how one looked at it could have been considered something of a lie. “Which is why we should be finding our way out.”

It was a mystery to her, just how Fyodor managed it to stay as calm as he was. At least he didn’t seem as panicked as she felt... unless he was hiding it pretty well? Miran swallowed hard, as she nodded with her lips pressed into a thin line. Thinking, where the exit could be... or could they eventually just somehow break down the door they had entered through? She knew it had closed behind them all of the sudden and was locked. Which was already creepy enough. This all was  just like a horror movie becoming the truth... but ah, if they would go back, their follower surely would find them quicker, right?

Unless he would wait for them there in expection they’d go back there... 

Taking a deep breath, she soon forced a thin smile on her lips. But her azure eyes still clearly showed fear. “ Yes, let’s find a way out there... I assume the exit truly isn’t in here? Maybe we should go into the next one then. “, she muttered every word in a rather quick pace and idly-minded, as she went towards the door. Stopped in her steps however, turning around to the male again.

“ Hold on, but what if he doesn’t follow us but waits for us at the exit? “

Send me an URL and I will tell you  ( still accepting ) - @starlightofdream

my opinion on;

character in general:  Oof, I can’t say much about that tbh xD All I really know from her muses is Kunikida, but their ( didn’t find your pronounce anywhere, so please tell me if I should change it;; ) multimuse is a really interesting mix tbh ° - °)/ 

how they play them:  As already said before, I don’t know a lot about Regulus or Phantasos. However, I really enjoy writing with Amy’s portrayals of them ( and Kunkikida of course ) nevertheless c: Despite not knowing anything of their fandom or the muses themselves, it feels easy to write with them. Often I have a little troubles to interact with Crossovers at first ( even if they have a verse for the fandom I’m in too ( BSD in this case ), but its not like this with hers…. I hope that made sense, LOL. 

the mun:  I didn’t really interact a lot with the mun tbh, but Amy seems actually pretty nice? And they also seem like somebody, who truly does their research when it comes to their muses!

do i;

follow them: yup c: rp with them:  We have three threads I think? So yup, we do ° - °)/ want to rp with them: Already doing so as said c: But I’m always open for more threads ( though, I still have to reply to our current ones, LOL )

ship their character with mine:   Wwwhhh, I’m somebody who hardly ships my muses instantly ( unless its already in a plot or platonic ) as I’m really more chemistry based. But who knows? I definitely wouldn’t say no neither I guess xD

@diverse-hearts​ asked:  💀 dark/violent meme - higuchi

101.  “No kids. That’s my only rule.” - Dark/Violent starters

Port Mafia was dark and full of violence, Miran knew so much. But yet, she had made in some terms her own rules - no matter if she had the right to do so or not. She could kill if it had to be, but only if the situation really didn’t allow it any different, as she was unlike the many other members not all too fond of murder. Actually, she still had to hold her breath at the sight of blood, still had to hold herself back from not feeling bad for those who had lost their lives and yet she tried to never show it too openly.

Miran wanted to belong into the organisation... but somehow it was harder than thought at first. At times she found herself still wondering why Mori took her in.

Even now, while sitting in one of the few cafés that weren’t filled by the morning crowds of people, who would get their breakfast of those before rushing to either work or school. Could she yet imagine why nobody would go here, was it after all pretty hidden and its reputation not all too well because of the rather unfriendly owner - an elderly women who was known for her temperament in this area and her ways of shooing guests she didn’t like out with a broom. Miran had found it someday when searching for new desserts she wanted to buy for her sister - and those desserts here were cheap, but still had a great taste... and by now, she hadn’t gotten on the bad side of the owner luckily.

“ You know, I sometimes do think of how to belong in there like everyone else. “, Miran feared a bit, that this topic had gotten annoying by now. She had often asked for advice of others, especially Higuchi. Miran took a sip of her tea, the porcelain already showing some cracks - might another reason why nobody truly visited here. But the beverage was very well brewed she had to admit. It almost reminded her of the home she had ran away from, “ It’s not like I’m unable to harm people, no matter who it is. But no kids, thats my only rule. Could this be my mistake though? Is this, why I always seem to look like some damsel in distress who needs to be saved all the time? “.

“God, I can’t stand it when he yells and carry on like that.”

It was difficult to contain calm, to put the cup gently back on its plate and to not just make her anger air, while she sat in front of her boss’ wife. Unsure about, how she should keep her lips sealed, when all she wanted was to just rant about this goddamn loud executive. Had both, Chuuya and Miran this hot headed personality and the amount of pride, that made them at times clash together. But especially she hated it whenever he felt the unnecessary need to yell at her, whenever she simply tried to be helpful. Tried to heal those, who needed it.

Why was he so much against her doing what she could do best? They might were friends, but at the same time they both were in the Mafia. Injuries and even deaths were normal here and as long as he was well, everything should be okay, shouldn’t it?

Sighing she leant slightly back, as her sight fell on the closed door. Reminding herself, that she was not in the place to question him. At least not loudly... and yet...

Now that Cara understood the seriousness of the situation, a part of her was starting to regret the fact that she had been so stubborn about not leaving Ireland. But she’d had hope that she could return to Dublin then, and that hope had since whistled away since realizing that her father would never want her back. What was the point of staying too close to the family if they did not want you as you were? So, instead of beating herself up for having the security change their initial plan, she just nodded in response to his words. “Ireland always had a very special place in my heart. I didn’t want to leave her, because it’s my home. I was under the impression that I cannot be safer anywhere rather than home but… I was wrong. I can’t be safe anywhere in Ireland, and it’s not like I have a reason to stay close to my family. I’ll be fine. Just do what you need to do.” 

It broke her heart to even think it. But somehow Cara was able to tell that if she were to leave Ireland now, she might not be coming back anytime soon. Or if she were coming back sooner than expected, it might be in a coffin. “Just don’t let me die, okay? I know I don’t have much to live for except Alfie, but… I’m not ready to die. I haven’t even started to live.” She wanted that reassurance from him, not because she was scared, but because she feared that no one else would understand her reason for wanting to live. Alfie was the only thing she had. “A lot of people… judge me for loving animals more than humans. I spent more time on my grandparents’ farm, playing with the cows, and horses, than I did attending all the fancy parties, and board meetings that my father wanted me to go to. Animals don’t care about money, or monopoly, or politics. Animals don’t abandon their children when they defy them. Animals don’t choose to sacrifice their children to save their business. I guess I always knew that no human relationship in my life could ever be as loyal. That’s why I always surrounded myself with animals.” There was a bitter smile on her lips as she said that. “I have no doubt that you’ll come back for me. But if in case something does happen, if these bad guys do get to me, and for whatever reason you can’t find me… I want you to promise me something. If you can’t find me, can you at least promise me that you’ll find Alfie a good home? One where he will be loved, and taken care of. He’s been with me since I delivered him, and his siblings… and I don’t want him to not have a home if I’m gone.” 

Cara nodded as he ordered her to stay in the living room, and she leaned down to grab her dog, holding him on her lap. “Shhh…” She shook her head at him, and thankfully Alfie stayed quiet, as though he could sense that something was off. As she sat on the couch, she tried to listen to the conversation at the door. From the sound of it, she could tell that it was the police. Why would the police be at their door? She was almost suspicious that they might not be real law enforcement, given the circumstances. 

The moment Coop uttered the word ‘girlfriend’, Cara’s eyes grew wide, and she looked back at the dog who was staring up at her as if he had seen a ghost. “He really swung past a whole queue of Irishmen with that one, didn’t he?” It was true. Although the veterinarian’s relationship with his father had been strained for years, that hadn’t been the case in the public eye. Given her status as an heiress, she did have a fair amount of suitors who were hoping to get in on the Kelly family fortune. Unfortunately for them, she had never shown them any interest. But even then, having her bodyguard pose as her boyfriend did not seem like a bad idea. It was not like those suitors could ever find out. It was only for the sake of convenience, and no other reason. 

Thankfully, she was pulled away from her thoughts at the sound of footsteps, and the next thing she knew, the officers were standing in the living room. Cara stood from the couch, still holding Alfie in her arms, looking past them to Coop, and cleared her throat. “Is everything alright, darling?” 

.

Coop knew the face of resignation when he saw it. And that was what Cara’s expression was telling him. The reality of the situation had finally set in. “I understand why you wouldn’t want to leave,” he admitted. “I promise it will only be temporary. We will get you back home as soon as we can. But for right now, we’re going to get you somewhere safer. I’ll call Griff and get us set up.” 

The bodyguard’s expression softened as asked him not to let her die for Alfie’s sake. The idea that she only had the little fluff ball in her life to truly care for didn’t sit right with him, but he opted not to dwell on it. He was here to keep her alive. Nothing more. Nothing less. “I’m not going to let you die. Even if you only had a gold fish to look after, I would keep you alive,” he assured her. Coop listened to her carefully as she talked about her childhood and her family. He couldn’t help but agree with her. In spite of actually being quite close to his family, he still preferred the company of animals. “The world would be a better place if humans were more like animals. Anyone who judged you for that clearly just hasn’t grown up on a farm. There’s nothing like the love and gentleness of a farm animal. Especially cows,” he agreed, recalling his time on his family dairy farm. He understood the bitter smile that crossed her face, but he couldn’t say he liked it. “I promise that Alfie will always be taken care of, and loved. I’ll make sure of it. But you should know, for me to not find you... it would most likely mean I was dead.” He said it without gravitas or arrogance, a simple statement of fact. Coop would see his protection detail through to the end. Whether that meant the job’s or his, it remained to be seen. Simple as that. 

The former marine was grateful the Alfie stayed quiet as he regarded the two police officers. And when he called Cara his girlfriend he could only hope that she was listening and was willing to go along with it. It was the only thing that would make sense, and when they finally admitted they were there because there’d been reports that he’d been stalking her, he was glad he’d gone with girlfriend. Though he was fairly certain he might get an earful later. 

The officers moved around him quickly towards the living room. He followed the one of them got in his way. “Stay back, sir.” 

Cara didn’t address the officers, she looked directly to him and played along beautifully. His lips curled up and the sound of the pet name leaving her lips. So she was paying attention. “I believe it’s just a misunderstanding, honey. It appears our new neighbors were worried I was stalking you this morning while we walked Alfie. Officers, I can explain. It’s our first morning in the neighborhood, and whenever we go out in a new place, I like to survey the land. A marine habit, I’m afraid. Drives my darling girlfriend up a wall, so she usually walks a few paces ahead of me.”

The officers didn’t appear to believe him. Which if roles were reversed he probably wouldn’t, so he couldn’t exactly blame them. But he was more concerned about getting out of this unscathed than anything else.  

“Sir, we would like to speak to your girlfriend in private.” The emphasis on girlfriend made it clear his story wasn’t selling. Griff was going to murder him. 

“Ma’am would you please step into the other room with me? I need to ask you a few... questions.” The one who wasn’t blocking Coop asked. He trailed off and then tilted his head and Coop could practically hear the ding of recognition in his brain. “I’ll be damned. You’re Cara Kelly aren’t you?”

@dawnxtoxdusk​ asked: “ dance with me? “ - Oda

Just cute little things - no longer accepting

“ Oh? “.

Eyes widened in surrpise, before she let out a soft chuckle. She couldn’t remember, when Oda and her had ever danced. So the young woman had always thought, that he might wasn’t interested into such a thing or maybe couldn’t dance. However, the more cute it was, that he suddenly asked her so out of the blue.

Gently Miran stood up from the couch she sat on. Skipped to her lover to take his hands and guide him in the middle of the living room by stepping backwards. Her azure eyes were trained on his during all the time, “ I’d gladly dance with you. “.

@diverse-hearts-ocs​ asked: “It’s probably the Illuminati anyways.” - Annastacia

Late Nights

“ Anna, please don’t say things like this. “

The topic of cows being kidnapped by aliens had somehow took over the night. Not only when it came to the children, but somehow now also during the tea session of Annastacia and her. Did Miran simply try to find a reply that made more sense. Literally NOBODY knew if aliens needed calcium or even had bones after all! So how would she know?! Probably they didn’t even kidnap cows! It made her wonder just who even started with this topic.

Was it her? Was it Rai? Had Strelitzia been involved into it? Was it maybe one of her employees, of her managers or directors? A guest? Aah, she doubted she would ever find out the answer about this.

“ The Illuminati doesn’t really exist neither. “
