       ❛ Just... Stay. Look, I’m not trying to fix you Ana. I’m just - Trying to do what friends do alright? Support each other, help each other and right now... You seem like - I don’t think you should go out on your own. ❜ He is bluntly honest, but how could he help her if she didn’t want his aid? He couldn’t force her to stay but if anything happened to her while away, he surely wouldn’t be able to bear it. ❛     You wan’t to go? Fine, then go. I’m not keeping you here against your will. It’s not as if I’m going to tie you up to stay or something. ❜

 @veiledhostilities​  "Oooh are we making breakfast?...Where's my eggs???" @theimpalpable​ tagging you too cause reasons!

    ❛ I’m the sous chef. ❜ he parrots with a huge smile ( you see, he’s proud of said title ). Drew places another plate and lays the remaining eggs in the pan on it, slowly pushing it towards Kaila with a smile.          It is quite important to say though, Drew is a horrible cook and Samuel may be the only one who can deal with it without a complaint.

The days she spent over at Drew’s were always some of her most favorite.  She could get out of her space, and while they had been scary years ago, it was easy when it came to Drew.  

Most nights they stayed up messing around at the piano playing bits of songs together until something sounded right.  Many times, he would play a song, smile on  his face as she sung the lyrics.  It was life giving to her soul to explore her musical talents with him.  To enjoy that side of herself without having to fear the powers she did have.  Drew trusted her, and she trusted herself with Drew.

By the end of the night, Rylie had fallen asleep next to Drew, one of his shirts loosely draped over her body.  She slept so peacefully there, tucked against his side until the morning light woke her up.  

In all honesty, she didn’t want to move from that bed.  She was her own boss, so she could take the day off.  It wouldn’t harm her or the store, but it was deeper than that.

Rylie eased upwards, kissing Drew’s cheek.  “Good morning,” she whispered.  Her accent was a little heavier, as it always was in the mornings.  After the simple kiss, her forehead fell to his shoulder, face nuzzling against his arm.

      ❛ Mhm... Good morning... ❜  his voice was just slightly hoarse and his demeanor rather sleepy. The clearing of his throat made him wake up a little bit more before peeking with one eye at Rylie. If it wasn’t for her he would probably be snuggling even closer and still in dreamland, dreaming, something he didn’t do quite often but seemed to happen when she was around. 

     That day Drew wouldn’t mind staying around, if Rylie weren’t around he would probably go out for a walk, distract himself for a while and keep his mind busy. The lonesome thoughts seemed to cease lately and he liked it that way, without his chest feeling pressed tight or his hyperventilating moments of anxiety when no one was looking. Rylie’s presence was haven, he couldn’t think how to thank her for that though the intention was there. One day he would find a way.           ❛ Tell me you’re not going to work today... ❜ the pianoman mumbled, nuzzling the top of her head and hiding from the morning light in her soft curls. The mumble became a gentle whine and he was ready to pull the puppy eyes card if she said she would. ❛ If you are, let’s stay a little longer yeah? ❜

Send ’ 🎉 ’ to kiss my muse at midnight on New Years Eve. @lovestoofew​ 🎉 (drew and lucy!!!!!!!)

The buzz of people around began to fiddle with his senses, overwhelming streaks of color and blurred lines yet Drew wouldn’t like to be somewhere else. It was a crescendo of voices, excitement and growing anticipation just waiting for the countdown to commence within the bar. Drew stood by the piano, leaned against the black baby grand with arms crossed and a soft smile on his lips. It was entertaining just as endearing just too look at people enjoying themselves and sharing moments with each other. Couples waiting for the moment the clock hit twelve to share their kiss, strangers eyeing each other hoping that one stolen glance and a flirty smile will get them to lock lips.    His eyes spotted a familiar silhouette within the crowd and his eyes fell to the floor, a half smile reached his lips.  TEN, NINE... For a moment he wondered if she was there with someone else. The musician stood on his on his toes even to have a better look, he wasn’t that tall to see over the crowd properly.  EIGHT, SEVEN... He heard people counting as he finally pushed himself off the piano taking his chances and made his way through the patrons. SIX, FIVE! They continued. A couple of moments later he was finally beside Lucy, hands behind his back, whole body swinging on his heels a little. Butterflies began to flutter in the pit of his stomach.    FOUR!      ❛ You know, they say if you don’t kiss someone at midnight the year might be filled with loneliness. ❜ he says looking ahead, voice struggling to be heard over the counting. THREE! TWO!  ❛ ...Wouldn’t like that to happen right? ❜  A smile was shared then, tired eyes looking at her brown ones while he bit his lip briefly. ONE!! His arm slid around her waist pulling her closer and he leaned, lips meeting hers tender and slow. The color of a kiss meshed with the hues of all the voices shouting... 

         HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Send 'I want a baby' to see how my muse reacts. | @zeitlosleben​ 'I want a baby' @ drew lolz

     ❛ I’m sorry - WH- WHAT? ❜ his face turns the color of tomatoes in a beat, this is certainly not the first time El teases him, for the sake of him blushing or just make him lose his composure, last time he remembered was him rushing to take a cold cold bath. ❛ With me? OR - Or just a random baby? I mean, not a random baby     not like we can just steal a baby     but - a baby with another guy. Like...  ❜ his eyes narrow for a second. ❛ You’re kidding... Right? ❜

[ sms - Dom ]: I don’t mind my friend, I know that time is kind of against us too. You need to rest... Does this mean you have accepted my habit of staying up late and not sleep huh? [ sms - Dom ]: YES! I forgot my keys and she kindly let me in, but before I went up her stairs to mine I had to take a nap... [ sms - Dom ]: ... It’s not a bad idea... It sounds like a meet cute right? Tom said it was one... But we’re just friends. She’s nice, really nice. And she’s got this beautiful smile...

 ‘mistletoe' for drew! maybe its accidental ;) @vuulpecula​

THE BAR WAS FILLED WITH MISTLETOE, Tom had made sure that at least every five meters there was a small piece of it hanging. He liked to play Cupid on holidays, even let himself be a victim of his own traps and feign surprise now and then.    Drew on the other side, he had forgotten the whole thing until he bumped into Fox on his way to the bar. His smile widened at the sight of her, it usually did, the man had a major crush your see. He was about to speak up, greet her when something caught his attention from the corner of his eye. Mistletoe hanging on their heads. Damn it Tom... Or maybe not damn at all.     ❛ Oh... ❜ A chuckle rippled from his lips, hand quickly moving to scratch the back of his neck sheepishly. Mistletoe meant one thing, and that one thing his eyes fell upon as he stood in front of Fox: her soft and tender lips. The memory of their first kiss came to his mind suddenly, not precisely asked for. The day she stole any word left from his lips for a while and turned him into a blushing mess. He wondered if she remembered, they were past a few drinks... Drew, focus.      His arm fell to the side, gathered courage and all he leaned forward pressing a tender kiss to her lips. His lips remembered how hers felt and how they ached to dance along them again, it was brief but enough to steal a little air from hope-instilled lungs. It was then that he remembered words and the best he could come up with was a whispered ‘ Hi... ‘

    ❛ As someone who I heard or read somewhere said... What’s life without a little risk huh? ❜ he grins, a typical grin with wiggling playful eyebrows shot Liz’s way.        ❛ But what are we afraid of? Falling? ❜ If she knew he’s already done that...

LATE NIGHT SENTENCE STARTERS @refinedtragedy​ ‘ i don’t deserve you. ‘ ( aria to drew)

    ❛ Why would you say that? ❜ It was definitely unusual to hear such thing, especially coming from Aria. ❛ I mean, I’m not... Like, some awesome dude to be deserved? I’m just... A regular guy hanging around with an amazing girl. That’s you.  ❜

@fcntsies​ continued from here

    He somewhat managed to keep up, so many flashes aimed at her and bouncing over at him, added to the swarming colors all the voices evoked in his mind was enough to bewilder him. Once inside the car it took him half a minute to come back to his senses, soon enough for Sofia’s voice to arise in his mind’s eye. 

“Well, my responsibilities start in the afternoon so I’m pretty free if you’d like to have a drink or two.” He smiles, leaning back against the seat in a more comfortable position. “Next time I suggest costumes, we’ll hint you’re at a place when in fact you’re somewhere else and then we sneak out like ninjas, how about that?”

Morning after |  accepting @hostilidadesveladas​ ft. Cadence  “ i can’t find my shirt. ” :) because i'm wicked x2

     ❛ I thiiiiink... It’s hanging on the lamp over there. ❜ he points out, sitting up on the bed watching Cadence hurry around the room gathering her clothes. Oh he wishes she didn’t have to work so early, but then again, he is the one with the night shifts so he cannot complain for not running around the place like her. There is a noticeable pout on his lips, hands on his lap. She’s non-stop picking it all up and dressing, he cannot help but stand up and walk towards her. His hands cup both her cheeks for a moment leaning to close the gap between them in a soft kiss.    ❛ I’ll see you tonight? ❜ 

[breathingliifearc]

Five times hugged |  accepting  @theforsakenmyths​ ft. Lei FIVE TIMES HUGGED (Drew/Lei)

i. The first comes out of pure joy. Drew rushes towards Lei the moment he sees her, wrapping his arms around her and picking her up in a tight and twirling embrace. It has been a while since they first saw each other with him having to go to London for a whole and he cannot contain the happiness and need for one of Lei’s hugs. They are magical you see? And once they are there, hugging tight once her feet touches the floor again, his face buries in the crook of her neck. ❛ I missed you... ❜

ii. The second happens in a cool night of winter. Lei surprised him by going to the bar that night, they were supposed to meet a few hours later. Having waited for the night shift to end, he met her rubbing his hands together due to the sharp cold breeze outside. ❛ Aren’t you cold in that coat? ❜ he asked concerned the fabric was too thin. ❛ Come here, I’ll hug you all the way to your place even if we walk like frozen penguins until we get there. ❜ A chuckle and that was what he did, his arms and coat enveloping her as they walked down the street towards Lei’s place.  iii. This one has protective written all over. Hearing in the morning that fierce storms would hit the city by the night Drew didn’t think it twice in standing at Lei’s door. He knocked, waited as he stood under an umbrella, comfort food within a bag in his other hand until she opened the door. That night he’d take care of her as she did for him, they found SOLACE in each other. The rain pattered hard on the windows, thunders lighting the whole room with its intermittent flashes. Lei sat next to him, and his arms were wrapped around her. He knew storms weren’t of her likings so he hummed a lullaby, rubbed her back soothingly and pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head. ❛ It’ll be over soon, I’m here. ❜ iv. The fourth. She’s painting his colors, the ones he describes thoroughly for her to capture in a canvas. Lei seems so focused, so determined to get every stroke and color to match the best of his descriptions about his world. So thoughtful and wanting to share his technicolor vision of the world. A sweet smile spreads on his lips and he waits for a little pause     see, he doesn’t want to move her and cause her brush to go astray    . Once the moment comes he gently wraps his arms around her from the side, pressing his lips to her shoulder.  ❛ Thank you. ❜  v. And the last, they are having a tickle fight. Whatever started it had suddenly been forgotten between loud laughs and gasps for air. Both holding at their sides protectively from poking and tickling fingers, now laying on Lei’s living room floor. Resting on his back Drew tries his best to breath in, calm down his aching midsection. ❛ TRUCE! TRUCE! ❜ Quickly he gathers himself and rolls to the side, launching an arm around her to hug close, chuckling as he does. ❛ Let’s just stay here a bit, I swear if I laugh a little more I might pass out. ❜

[breathingliifearc]

Morning after |  accepting @refinedtragedy​ ft. Aria  “ no don’t move, it’s too cold outside the covers. ” ( Aria to Drew ) 

    ❛ Alright, alright I won’t move. ❜ Drew chuckles, snuggling closer even when Aria’s hold keeps him from standing up and getting to the kitchen to prepare them some breakfast. It is a cold morning indeed, colder than the weather had predicted, perfect to just stay in bed for as long as they can. Rolling on his side though, with his arm wrapped around Aria’s side, he bites his lip.    ❛ You’re cute, when you wake up. All sleepy like that. ❜ he begins, lifting his hand to put away a lock of hair from her face. ❛ I’ll get us something to eat in a bit, yeah? Are you hungry? ❜
