devin: So, my shows for next month are entirely canceled which means I'll be back early.

devin: If I remember correctly, you owe me a whole movie marathon weekend.

Right on time. Matthew hid his half smile as he continued to tend to the flames, making sure that the fire was hot enough to melt the metal, Devin already had her little spot anyway. Full with fabrics that she had gathered and some supplies he had bought from the seamstress down the street. Why her mother did not allow her to do such work at the castle, Matthew would never know. Happy with the flames, he left the iron to melt before he was looking at her “Good morning, my lady.” he took his seat, picking up the blade that he was working on while the metal melted to the perfect point, using a tool to sharpen the edges “Take it this time it was more difficult to evade your handmaidens?”

He had met the daughter of the lady of the castle six years ago, when he had delivered some weapons to the knights that protected the space. At that time, he had thought her to be one of the handmaidens, after all, why would a noble ever talk to such a lowly peasant, even if he was an artisan? The conversation had been easy, and they had become fast friends, with her visiting him shop a couple of months after. Now, it was a habit of Devin to sneak off to visit him, one that Matthew looked forward every day “The baker still hasn’t passed, so I don’t have bread to offer you, I’m sorry.”

「 CLOSED STARTER — @thcblackrosc​ continued from this meme.

                      Hiding  out  in  the  other’s  home  was  far  from  unusual.  It  was  a  safe  space,  far  out  of  the  boundaries  of  where  her  mother  was  willing  to  go  to  have  some  conversation  with  her  that  would  twist  her  mind  and  put  her  into  one  of  her  darkest  mindsets.  Boundaries  —  they  were  important  in  so  many  aspects  of  life,  especially  in  relationships  and  friendships,  more  importantly,  one  as  close  as  theirs.  The  pair  had  crossed  so  many  lines,  unsure  if  it  was  because  of  the  years  of  friendship,  the  connection  she  swore  she  had  always  felt,  or  because  of  the  underlying  feelings,  ones  neither  of  them  seemed  to  admit  to.  She  couldn’t  help  but  notice  how  stressed  the  other  seemed  to  be,  clear  even  with  the  quick  interaction  of  telling  her  he’d  be  back  soon.  Boundaries  were  still  important,  something  they  both  had  always  understood  and  something  that  had  always  been  vital  in  her  mind  with  everyone  in  the  world.  Even  she  couldn’t  tell  you  what  put  the  thought  into  her  mind  to  join  him.  It’s  possible  it  was  that  instinctive  need  to  be  there,  to  help  him  feel  better  like  he  always  did  for  her,  but  she  wasn’t  thinking  about  it  as  the  hot  water  fell  down  her  own  form  and  she  moved  to  reach  for  the  shampoo  bottle.  ❝Let  me  help,❞  she  eased  out  quietly,  her  voice  almost  a  whisper.

「 @thcblackrosc​ liked this post for a short starter.

                           Six  months  spent  in  the  big  city  she  loved.  It  was  a  blessing  and  a  curse  whenever  she  returned  home  to  the  smaller  town,  to  the  only  face  that  brought  that  real  smile  to  her  features.  Not  only  did  it  bring  her  joy,  happiness  no  one  else  in  the  world  could  give  her,  but  it  felt  like  it  ripped  her  heart  out  each  and  every  single  time  as  well,  especially  when  her  time  at  home  was  limited  to  two  weeks.  ❝Maybe  I  should  actually  fully  move  there  or  take  fewer  jobs  so  I'm  here  more,  I  don't  know.❞  Her  head  shook,  only  stopping  so  suddenly  so  she  could  tug  dark  hair  over  one  shoulder.  ❝It's  just  a  lot  of  back  and  forth  and  I  don't  know  how  long  I  can  keep  up  with  it  before  I  break  down  from  exhaustion.  It's  just  too  much  sometimes.❞
