“ i can’t find my shirt. ” / @emeraldbuilt
she's face down in the pillows , awake but loose , relaxed. her hair is a scattered mess spread across her back and face. the complaint makes an eye pop open to the brightness of the world , wheeling around the bare-bones room until she finds where his voice is coming from. it finds his shirt thrown across a half unpacked box , blending into the blanket , which was ALSO thrown across the room sometime during the night. buttercup doesn't say anything. why the fuck would she ruin the view ?
goddamn he's pretty. the morning sun shines off his skin in a way that makes him look gilded. its his house , but he looks as lost in it as anyone else , boxes scattered around the place haphazardly. she was supposed to be helping him move in. technically she did that. the boxes weren't left behind on the moving truck , after all. so what if she got distracted.
“ that's so sad , ” buttercup deadpans , unmoving.
morning after.

link, sender links arms with receiver while walking. - bubbles!!! / @clickedbait
it's so easy to know when one of her sisters is touching her — they're the only ones who can get her to stop moving. buttercup sighs , looking toward bubbles and whatever caught her eye.
( swear to GOD if it's another puppy — )

💿/ @webheadedhero
“ be totally completely honest , ” buttercup says , reaching over to dial up the volume. the music grows louder , and somehow even more RIDICULIOUS. this isn't her normal cup of tea , but yung gravy is having so goddamn fun that it's infectious. the man would absolutely be cast in a modern austin powers movie. he already dresses like that. “ if yung gravy stole your girl , could you even be mad ? like if you really loved her , could you really get mad that she got to experience that ? ”
music.

gwen carefully handing her phone over the next time her mom calls
buttercup takes hold of the phone with such gentleness , terrified that an errant spurt of strength would crush it before she had the chance to say her piece. her fingers FLEX with the fear of it. she feels like a starving animal offered its first piece of food.
gwen hates it when she's mean to her mom , and buttercup can't find it in herself to be anything else.
though if she's being honest , mean is such a tame way to say it.
buttercup terrorizes the woman. people like that , with such hatred for their own , survive on little but fear. fear of the unknown , fear of the known , fear of not being the top of the food chain. natalie and everyone like her spends life horrified by the idea that someone might one day treat them the way they treat others — and worse , the idea that no one would protect them. that no one could protect them. that no one would WANT to. it's so easy to stoke that fear like a carefully tended fire.
buttercup has never been known for her kindness.
natalie likes to pretend at hers , though.
the woman's voice straddles a strange line between chipper and DEMANDING when buttercup answers , half barking orders without waiting so much for a hello. they've been gone for a while — a mission that's taken far longer than anticipated. buttercup expected , for gwen's sake , to hear even the vaguest hint of concern. there's none there. just the haughtiness of a woman unused to being kept WAITING.
natalie's going to have to get used to a lot now.
( it's no wonder gwen didn't let them cross paths sooner , despite the years of friendship gained through strife and white-knuckled stubbornness. buttercup's never been against the idea of MURDER , but she has been less in control of herself before. )
“ you're confused , ” buttercup says after natalie's finished. “ that's not how you talk to people. ”
a slow , cruel smile spreads across her face at the tinny sound of the woman's gasp on the other end. phones can never quite catch the LITTLE sounds right — the heartbeats barely caught by even the best microphones , the intakes of air rattling around in the metal — but it does the job well enough to let her know she has natalie's full attention. she loves to pretend , in person , that they're on equal footing. as if that fantasy has ever been correct , even without the benefit of superpowers against her fragile , mortal flesh. natalie would be hard pressed to find someone who isn't above her. on the phone , without the benefit of her family around , buttercup wouldn't be surprised to find out her knees were shaking , her skinny cigarette trembling between her fingers.
natalie never admit it. she might not even NOTICE it. her fear so often comes out as rage. like an ant plotting against the sun. knowledge of her own insignificance would shatter her stupid little psyche.
but buttercup knows. buttercup can smell it on her whenever she sees her daughter , a woman so much more than natalie could ever become. buttercup can smell it whenever ships are so much as MENTIONED. buttercup is to natalie what a god is to a bug ; it would be nothing to crush her between her fingers , to pop her like an overgrown zit. as is gwen. natalie has the benefit of being her mother , of commanding a sort of affection over gwen that buttercup is free of.
( she has one parental figure and she knows in her heart of hearts that she would kill him if she had to. and he doesn't even DESERVE it. what's a racist xenophobic narcissist in comparison ? )
“ you're going to listen carefully , natalie , and you're going to do just what i say. ” she expects the interruption , but buttercup still tsks the way one would to a misbehaving toddler. “ don't interrupt me again. ” there's a threat in her voice , implicit and cold. the devil fears her. getting one mortal to hold their tongue isn't especially difficult. “ you're going to answer yes or no , and then you're going to shut the fuck up. ”
honestly , she expects more arguing. she expects a woman married into intergalactic warriors to have a spine. even just a little one. but that's the way with people like this : they're only strong when everyone around them is weak.
natalie's answering yes is faint.
“ good. find your manners when you talk to my friends , or we're going to be talking in person next time. ”
another yes.
“ anyway. she's busy. we're in the middle of space a couple lightyears away and you're fucking LUCKY i'm answering at all. take a hint and stop calling. gwen will call you when and if she's good and goddamn ready. stop blowing up this phone. ”
she doesn't bother waiting for another response. she ends the call and hands the phone back to gwen. the smile on her face is almost sickly sweet. “ she says she misses you. ”

“You’ve been mostly dead all day.” / @emeraldbuilt
she hasn't gotten a lot of sleep lately. honestly , she hadn't realized how much they were beginning to RELY on john — how many of his occasional shifts were slotted into the permanent rotation , for one , but more annoyingly , how much she relied on the steady rhythm of his heart to fall asleep.
it pisses her off.
his being here wasn't supposed to change how they do patrol. what happens when he gets sick and tired of this place ? when the space cop schtick and the architect job and the local hero bit all get to be too much ? when he up and leaves , because he CAN , because he isn't tied to this hellhole by more than a paycheck ? getting used to their grueling shifts again after being so spoiled is going to fucking suck.
what happens when he actually leaves and she can't fall asleep ?
she missed him. that pisses her off too. she's not USED to thinking about people when they're gone , beyond a cursory curiosity. she's not used to being distracted by it , wondering if he's alright even though she knows he can damn well take care of himself. wondering what he's up to on his stupid space missions , which hot aliens are seeing him without fresh bites , thinking he's alone.
it's STUPID.
it's all stupid.
she was fine before him. she'll be fine after him.
“ i'm fine , john , ” buttercup snaps , though the yawn that pushes through her betrays it. she can't look him in the eye. “ go away. ”
movie meme.
