@triquestar ​ ->  [ non-fog verse ] he handed her a gift box that had an awkwardly tied bow around it. within contained a set of copic markers and sharpies that he'd heard suzie mention quite a couple times now. he wasn't great at these types of sentimental gestures, but he had wanted to give her something she might like. ❛ happy birthday, suzie. ❜

HER SUBCONSIOUS MIND IS AWARE OF THIS FACT , she knows rue has never been the one to ABANDON her in a moment of emotional weakness such as now. she’s never , EVER had to watch the brunette leave while susie was in a GENUINE moment of need-- not even when susie would say she SHOULD leave , much like now. as the two sit curled up , legs folded atop the pink haired girl’s bed as lightly shaking hands slowly wipe away tears that stain her pale , freckled cheeks with dark mascara streaks. painted digits tuck blush toned curls back behind a pierced ear as susie musters a WEAK smile over at the other.

the smile fades FAST , though-- teeth sinking into her bottom lip deep before she speaks up. “ t-thanks , rue.... i guess i should know better , h-huh ? “ there’s a weak attempt at a chuckle before she sniffles again , doe eyes shift to the floorboards QUICKLY as she tries to ease her nerves yet again. arms wrapping gently around rue’s shoulders without warning before a MESS of brightly colored curls is rested against her as well-- arms snaking the taller girl closer.

“  I-I DIDN'T KNOW Y-YOU WERE PAYING ATTENTION...” it's an honest statement. as she sat , curled COMFORTABLY in one of the reading chair in arthur's bookshop , susie was COMPLETELY unaware he had been paying any mind to her sketching him whilst he put books away-- BUT , it seems he had. not only that , but arthur had walked over and snuck a LOOK at the drawing too.

her cheeks MUCH match the shade of her hair as he looks it over , hearing the tiny GASP that leaves him is enough to make the poor girl’s heart LEAP into her throat as she waited to hear what he would say about it. “  i-i’m sorry i-if it’s not t-that great... i-i’m not anyth-thing special A-ANYWAYS. “ she’s a stammering mess , hands nervously clenching the end of her tank top as she sit’s up to look up at him from her seat.

NIGHTMARES WERE AN OCCURANCE THAT PLAGUED HER since her youth , & sadly even as an adult she wasn’t free of the chains that were her past , & the ptsd that came along with it. this , unfortunately  , meant poor darren was at risk OFTEN to bare witness too these nightmares-- well , what they would do too her. laying by darren’s side in bed , susie begins to whimper quietly in her sleep until quiet whines turn into full on sobs , enough too wake darren & NOT susie. when she FINALLY awakens , she’s being held by the black haired male , being gently rocked back & forth as he quietly tried to soothe her. rubbing her eyes , susie takes a moment to CALM herself , running her hands through her messy curls for a moment before she got up & followed him to the living room. 

darren wasn’t normally the sappy type , but he seemed to feel REALLY bad for the poor girl tonight ,  & it showed as he did his VERY BEST to try to calm her nerves , & hopefully help her get back to sleep... but it wasn’t coming. “  i-i’m sorry , d-darren... “  green eyes are cast to the floor , teeth sinking into her bottom lip-- UNTIL she feels him take her hand , pulling her up from where she sits & gently guiding her outside , where the rain that started as a faint drizzle before they went to his bedroom has become a heavy shower , cool air soothing her POUNDING head & twisting stomach as he wraps an arm around her waist , pulling her close. eyes closed , her heart beat starts to finally settle down , smile curling onto her lips as she nuzzles into his side. she feels , safe.

“ AWW , i missed you t-too , b-but i was only at work. but , i-i have off ALL DAY tomorrow , so you won’t have to miss me. “ words are hummed as she walks over to the MUCH taller brunette , tippy toeing until she could snake her arms around his neck & gently pull him down for a kiss.

IT'S JUST THE TWO OF THEM , arthur sits quietly reading in a chair across the room while she sits on the couch with jynx , running her fingers through the cats long white fur until she decides to BREAK THE SILENCE , crossing the room before she gently takes the book from his hands , placing it on the table beside them as she climbs up into his LAP , gently wiggling & shifting until she gets comfortable.

“ is this seat taken ? “ her smile is innocent , sweet , PLAYFUL as she giggles under her breath , arms wrapping around his neck as fingers comb gently through short brown locks.
