❛   oh , don't give me that bloody look. ❜ a scoff escapes lila before she takes another drag from her vape. she turns to better face @yoakkemae , brows raising expectantly. ❛   right , right --- you here to give me a mom lecture ? POPCORN LUNGS ? COUGHING UP BLOOD ? c'mon. lay it on. tell me how this is going to kill me faster than anything else we've faced. ❜

[neverburied]

lila had the same issues -- found sleep escaped her more often than not. it had driven her crazy in their first few years here -- trapped away from everything reasonable &* comfortable. she hadn't acknowledged the part of her that liked the danger. hadn't acknowledged the equal part of her that found she enjoyed five's company more than anything she'd enjoyed in the calm of domestic life either.

children &* husband waited somewhere out of this subway -- the longer away from them , the more she festered on how much freer she felt without them. how the rush of discomfort here was actually far more comfortable than the stability there for her. she's lived her whole life in a state of danger &* purpose &* freedom. that damned house had felt like a prison where she played dutiful wife &* mother. there was guilt there , of course. pain &* loss &* a knowledge that they were never getting out of here.

but there was also five. someone who knew far too well that instability was stability. it was known. calm was . . . anything but. they'd worked tirelessly for years. clawed &* fought &* suffered to get back to a family that would never understand them. they've never even thanked five once for his efforts. never even stopped to hug him. they'd all fallen into complacency while he &* lila made efforts to get them free of that wrongness that was the new timeline. diego was the worst offender of this -- found her more appealing in that guise of domestic wife &* mom. reminded her he hadn't liked her much when she was more herself. she had been fun , but she had not been the stability he craved. a stability she has tried to give him without considering herself for years.

so as five awakens from a restless dream , lila is there , deep gaze flickering over his face in the darkness around them. he touches her hand &* she is reminded in turn that he is all she has left in this world. the only one she would have from now until infinity. she is forced to face the knowledge that she doesn't hate the idea. that she might even enjoy this life with him. might want to find that stability in chaos at his side.

so she offers a faint smile from where she is laying beside him , propped up on her elbow as she lays on her side , facing him. ❛   want me to tell you a bedtime story ? those always work like a charm. ❜ her tone is teasing in the quiet , but her intentions are sweet for once. she hesitates , then wraps her hand around his own. comfort , in the dark. ❛ tell me about it ?   ❜

𝙻𝙸𝙻𝙰  𝙿𝙸𝚃𝚃𝚂 / @poetarum said  ❝ You look tired.  More dreams ? ❞

The dreams were nothing new to him, nightmares of waking up back in the apocalypse wasteland he lived in for decades, alone without even Delores for company.  He had had them often while working for the Commission, frequently in the early years of his contract but then they slowed down.  Now stuck in the subway, they started up again.  Sometimes he was back in his original apocalypse alone, other times he found his siblings, the worst dreams were the ones where something happened to Lila.  He couldn't do it, he couldn't stand to be alone again, trapped here in endless torment.  Alone again. 

Five nods his head slowly, conforming her suspicion.  Fingers reach out to her hand, he has to touch her for just a moment, to know that she's real.  Hallucinations are no stranger to him.  Relief washes over him when his hand touches her.  He lets out a quiet sigh.       ❝   I'll try to get some sleep again later.   ❞

❛   ooh , she does still have a fun fucking side. ❜ delighted laughter bubbles off the mimic's lips as she extends her arm , vape passed on to the other. ❛   diego gives me endless amounts of shit about smoking --- as if i don't need a little extra help keeping myself sane with three kids bopping about all day. ❜ her voice does nothing to hide her resentment as she crosses her arms. ❛   i've never seen you smoke , though. when did that start ? ❜

' uh , actually , i was thinking that you're a bitch if you don't share. ' allison holds a hand out , palm open , as a gesture for the vape. she might have been a mother longer than lila , but she's still a hargreeves. unhealthy coping mechanisms were part of the parcel , really , even if allison's usual vice was alcohol. ( however , with klaus in her house and sober , she didn't keep any of that anymore. ). ' so , come on , hand it over. '
