[ CATCH ] (for rosa & luke !)

🐝  *  ―  𝐅𝐈𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐄  𝐒𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆  𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒. |  [ CATCH ] ― your muse catches my muse when they tumble. [Accepting.]

As part of Luke’s plan of getting Rosa to relax after the rather long and stressful case they had solved with the other NXX members, he had suggested they go to an ice skating rink outside of Stellis that he had found. Which, she had agreed to, and it made the detective unbelievably happy. Not that he showed it! Though, it would have been obvious either way. Rosa always brought the best out of him and his most childish self out of him.

When they arrived, Luke had paid for not only their tickets in, but also the rental skates they would be using. Before Rosa could refuse, he quickly shot her down, saying something along the lines of “I have enough money to spend” and, “This is your time to relax! Not worrying about something this small. Come on, come on, let’s get out on the ice, Watson! I bet I can outskate you~.”

And so, with a bit of a competitive air lingering over them both, they were both off and on the ice as soon as they put their shoes on. Luke seemed to have no trouble at all maintaining his balance and even doing a few spins and jumps. Just to show off of course. Ice skating was just one of the many skills he had on his belt that he accumulated over the years.

Though, while he had been preoccupied, he heard a slight yelp, causing him to turn around and rush over to Rosa’s side, arm wrapping around her waist while his other cupped the back of her head to keep her from crashing to the ground. As he looked her over, deep concern set into his coral hues. “Are you okay?” His tone hushed, but panicked. “You need to be more careful, what would you have done if you hit your head? You could’ve given yourself a concussion!” With his heart thumping loudly in his chest, Luke slowly helped her get back to her feet, almost holding her protectively against his body. “Here. Let’s do that again, but I’ll hold your hand this time. You wanted to go faster, right?”

@arscarrietia​ asked: Everything was finally set for his birthday, and now it was just a matter of moments until Luke arrived. Rosa was nervous, to say the least -- her hands gripped the popper in hand. As soon as he entered, green hues were bright with joy and relief as it went off."Happy Birthday, Luke!" With the room now covered in presents, and confetti, her smile matched the warmth of the attic-turned party space. Presents were laid on the table, with some even hanging up on the wall that she would give to him later. For now, she was happy -- he finally came.

TOP SURPRISE - LUKE’S BIRTHDAY EVENT! 

Luke had raced over to “221B Baker Street” as fast as he could. He had been anxiously waiting and anticipating the moment when Rosa would contact him again, after ignoring him for days on end. So when she called him and asked for his help... He hurriedly exclaimed he would be there in 20-- no, 10 minutes tops.

When he finally arrived and entered the attic, he was surprised and startled when he heard a popper go off.

“Ah--!!”

Luke’s eyes widened. He hears the words “happy birthday” coming from his dearest Watson. Those coral hues drifts along the attic’s room, looking at all the presents and decorations designed especially for him. He was silent for quite some time, his heart filling with warmth. He could feel himself getting a little emotional, and he quickly rushed over to Rosa, throwing his arms around her, pulling her closer to his chest. His face buried into her shoulder, eyes glistening with unfallen tears.

“Just... let me hold you for awhile.” His voice rough with emotion. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”

Luke was. . .exhausted. Case after case. They piled on top of each other, hardly giving the detective a chance to breathe or do anything. Of course, he loved his job, it was something he strived to do ever since he was younger. But that didn’t mean he didn’t experience burnout. And it was hitting him hard.

He’d neglected calls and messages from his friends, including Rosa. Which, he felt immense guilt over. He didn’t want to worry her, no no, but he also didn’t want to burden her with his problems. This was something he could handle on his own. 

So one could imagine his surprise when he had spotted his. . .dearest ‘Watson’ at his antique shop. Luke quickly rises from his seat, looking quite alarmed. The bags under his eyes were obvious. His hair, messy and tousled.

“It’s late. . .what are you doing out?” Was his first question. Though he didn’t elaborate further. He was just. . .so happy to see her. So utterly guilty for ignoring her attempts to contact him, but just her mere presence made all that struggle and effort worth it.

Luke saunters over, into open arms, leaning heavily into the embrace that now envelops him. His face buries into her shoulder and he breathes in her scent. It was nice. Soothing. He could feel fingers running through his hair, which leads to his eyes fluttering shut. So tired. . . “’M sorry.” He finally murmurs.

" i... i think i need to sit down. " ( to luke )

Power prompts. | Accepting!

His hand drops, the aura surrounding the Holmes books he had been reading simultaneously fading and each novel dropping to the ground at the same time, creating a loud THUD! Luke’s gaze whips around to the girl who stood in the middle of his antique shop, and he felt his heart sink. He looked visibly disheveled, the usual one-liners that came with him never seeming to bloom.

“Lydia... Wait wait it’s not that weird!” Luke hurries to explain, rushing over to her, neglecting his books for just a moment ( which he would regret later once the situation died down, those were collector’s editions! ), and he waved his hands.

“I know this may seem strange but... Would you believe me if I said you were hallucinating from staying up all night looking through files?” An attempt at a joke was made, most likely falling flat. And yet, he chuckles. To alleviate the uncomfortable atmosphere.

🍫 ( to luke )

Soft Prompts | Accepting!

Fingers gently massaged temples, a stressed sigh escaping the detective’s lips. He leans back against his seat, setting down the tablet he had in his hand, showing background information on someone who Luke assumed was connected in a case he was currently working on. He was clearly tired, the way his shoulders sagged and the way he occasionally grunted and yawned, blinking tears from his eyes that formed from the excessive yawning.

He only looked up when he heard the door of his PI room, noticing that it had been Lydia with. . .a bag of food? His crimson gaze lighting up. “Oh, hey! Did you need something?”

He looked towards his phone, noticing that there were several missed calls and he laughed sheepishly. “Geez...I didn’t even have my ringer on, I’m sorry.”

“You shouldn’t work so hard, Luke! When was the last time you even ate? That’s it, you’re taking a break and eating with me. I have some sandwiches.”

“If you insist... How could I possibly resist spending time with you? Especially since we haven’t hung out in so long!” Luke laughs, a little guiltily as he turned his attention to his dearest friend, reaching into the bag to pull out one of the sandwiches. “I’ll have to treat you out sometime once I finish this case. How about we go to this cute-themed cafe I found?” He winked. “It’s my treat.”

@immortal-ichor​ asked: "Happy birthday, Luke!" Usagi cheered, shoving the box covered in light purple wrapping paper under his nose. She was bouncing on her toes, so excited it she looked like she might leap out of her skin. "Go on, open it!" she encouraged, that megawatt smile of hers never leaving her lips. "Mako-chan wrapped it up for me, but I promise I bought it all by myself!" Inside the box was a beautiful first edition of Sherlock Holmes.

TOP SURPRISE - LUKE’S BIRTHDAY EVENT!

Luke’s head jerks back with clear surprise as the gift was suddenly thrusted into his face without warning. He blinks, the excitement Usagi had been displaying being rather overwhelming, and it so precious at the same time. She was like a little puppy! He laughs a little and nods. “Alright, Alright, give me a moment!” 

Luke carefully unwraps the present. Taking out a pocket knife, he cut the tape off of the box and finally opens the flaps. . .what he saw inside wasn’t something he had expected. His eyes widened. He takes the book out of the box, carefully looking it over. “Usagi, where did you get this?” He looked over at the girl, his coral hues twinkling with clear happiness. “This is. . .amazing! I’ve been looking for this edition for YEARS--how did you manage this?” He laughed. “You really are a special girl huh. Always able to do the impossible. . .”

With the book gently tucked under his armpit, Luke walks closer so he could envelop the blonde into a tight hug. How could he not? He was just SO HAPPY. “This is the best birthday I’ve ever had.”

“. . .Marius, what are you doing?” Blank, coral eyes settle on the corporate heir as he quite rudely rummaged through his closet. Clothes flung every which way, he could hear his friend(?) complain and grunt under his breath about Luke’s fashion sense ( which wasn’t that bad at all in his opinion! ) 

“You just said we were going to hang out, not rearrange my entire closet. Hey -- put that sweater down, that’s my favourite one!”
