" what’s even the point of trying to find someone at this point ? " / @loveshard

[painfools]

" i'm not afraid to admit it. " shrugs, eyes narrowed in exhaustion. " i'm really fucking scared to go to sleep tonight. " / @angelsdvsts

[painfools]

" did they just try to kiss you ? " / @swtsours

[painfools]

@luriddaze liked for a starter ! (insp. in source)

" f - fuck, i'm sorry about this but i lost my keys and . . . " lets out a shuddered breath, body trembling. " can i come in ? just until the rain lets up. " gazes at them pleadingly, corners of his lips downturned.

[painfools]

" i'm two seconds away from throwing a punch. " / @fatalsmile

[painfools]

"  so  am  i.  "  muscles  burn,  eyes  heavy  with  exhaustion  as  he  tries  to  piece  together  a  plan,  a  way  that  they  could  both  make  it  out  of  this  alive  and  unscathed.  "  pretty  sure  there's  a  blown  fuse,  "  suggests  with  a  frown.  "  and  if  they  manage  to  get  the  lights  on,  then  their  assailant  can't  hurt  them  quite  as  easily.  "  i  think  i  should  go  for  it.  you  wait  here.  "

no  matter  what  occurs  ,  it  was  nice  to  know  that  he  would  have  her  back  --  hoping  that  her  nervousness  didn't  reflect  ;  trying  to  be  brave  for  the  both  of  them.  "  honestly  ?  my  brain  is  just  too  exhausted  to  think  ,  i'm  so  fucking  tired  .  "  she  admits  ,  yet  every  time  she  closes  her  eyes  she's  unsure  if  she'd  miss  something  .

" you know, i've noticed that. people who grow up as the only child are really weird and lonely. " who'd know better than the sufferer of single child syndrome himself ? stares blankly, attempting to wrap his head around that. " pretty sure i'd need a ton of lady parts to make that work but . . . thanks ? " chuckles, brows furrowing in confusion. " uh, so, do the kiddies have names yet ? "

"oh, i'll have one. the plan is two, they're less weird when they're in pairs." actually, she'll accept three, as long as they're not triplets. they freak her out too much. "it's just not happening in this body in my lifetime. i don't have the childbearing hips for it, but you... you look good for it." she promises that's a compliment.

[painfools]

"  y  -  yeah.  "  they've  got  each  other.  it's  a  nice  feeling,  even  if  he's  pretty  certain  she's  trying  to  reassure  him  against  an  inevitable  death.  smiles,  mimicking  the  action  with  a  soft  hand  squeeze  of  his  own.  "  okay,  so  .  .  .  "  looks  around,  trying  to  figure  out  how  they  can  repair  the  electricity.  "  what's  the  plan  ?  any  ideas  ?  "

a  weak  arm  moves  to  punch  him  in  the  shoulder,  small  smile  forming  across  her  lips.  "  don't  say  that,  "  she  states  in  a  stern  voice.  "  because  this  is  not  a  movie  and  we  have  on  another  ,  nothing's  going  to  happen  to  us  .  "  she  assures  reaching  over  to  give  his  hand  a  squeeze.

[painfools]

" glad we agree on something. " because . . . yeah, he's not exactly suited to be a father. doesn't have a secured income, lacks the dedication needed. leonardo has no intention of becoming one of those dead beat dads either. " no. but all the baby talk was kind of making me think you wanted to become one. "

"gross, no. don't be ridiculous," she quickly answered, providing a look of disgust. stretch marks, baby kicks, lamaze classes. the thought made her physically sick to the stomach. "do i look like a human incubator?"

[painfools]

" nope. " never had a reason to. most women he comes across don't think about those things upon first glance. scoffs, shaking his head. " what ? why do i feel like you want me to knock someone up . . . intentionally. " both brows are raised, playful smirk toying at his lips. " and that someone wouldn't happen to be you, would it ? " jokes.

"really? and you've never considered it?" her mouth dropped open at their admission. "that's a damn shame. a face like yours, and that hair. it needs to be shared among the next gen. it'll be, like, doing society a massive favor."

[painfools]

"  me  neither,  "  sighs  because  he  hates  feeling  helpless.  pretty  sure  they're  backed  into  a  corner  with  no  way  out.  "  yeah.  i  mean,  that's  why  everyone  dies  in  those  horror  stories.  they  split  up,  think  they  can  take  the  bad  guy  on  their  own.  "  attempts  to  smile,  but  falls  short. 

"  i  really  don't  want  to  be  alone  after  tonight  ,  "  she  admits  eyes  glancing  over  towards  him  --  nodding  her  head  ever  so  slightly.  a  small  smile  forming  across  her  lips  ,  "  it's  better  if  we  stick  together  anyways  .  .  .  make  sure  nobody  could  harm  us  .  "

amelia. knew her name because their mail person had the bad habit of slipping her mail into his mailbox. had only ever bothered to remember because of her pretty smile, though. it's needless to say that she's made an impression on him, but it's never gone beyond a few traded words. swallows thickly, offering a soft nod as he draws a step forward. " thanks. i owe you big time, " laughs softly, chin still trembling, water drops falling on his skin and over his clothes. " oh, " just about to decline the offer, too embarrassed to accept any more kind gestures. he's so cold though, so tired that he finds himself quickly yielding and swallowing his pride. " thanks, " grabs the towels, bringing one up to his face. " oh, " shuffles at his boots, offering a nod, " that'd be much appreciated, yeah. and it's not weird. It's actually really nice of you. " finds it cute, though, that she's the one concerned about coming off weird when he's the one in her apartment.

the last thing amelia was expecting was company, and she was even more shocked to see the man stuck in the rain. she didn't know him much, exchanging a few smiles in his direction as they left in the mornings, but nothing more than that. amelia was shy, and it made meeting new people a rather difficult task. "oh no, no.. there's no need to apologize. come on in," she assured him with a kind smile as she opened the door a bit wider. "stay as long as you need. i could probably use the company." deep brown eyes traveled over his frame, a small pout forming on her face as she noticed the trembling. "give me two seconds. i actually just took some towels out of the laundry.." without hesitation, she made her way into the nearby laundry room and took out two large towels, fresh out of the dryer. "here you go. if you want, i can look to see if i have an oversized shirts for you to wear? is that weird to suggest? i don't know."

[painfools]

silence lingers for a few seconds before, " how can you tell me that you'd like that and then say i can't ? " scoffs, finding the whole damn thing funny. maybe it's working. " i'm just saying. i'm not above getting into fights just because i'm the guy fixing the drinks. "

“As fun as that would be — focus on me, okay? They don’t matter.”

[painfools]

"  andy,  "  begins,  sighing  fingers  tracing  through  his  hair  in  frustration.  "  you  know  why  it  matters.  "  because  he  still  cares  despite  what's  happened  between  them.  can't  she  see  that  he  still  cares  ?  that  he  only  wants  to  keep  her  safe  ?  "  i  just  wanted  to  make  sure  you  were  being  safe.  i've  seen  the  way  guys  are  at  parties.  "  one  of  the  many  perils  of  being  a  bartender.

“   what   does   it   matter   to   you   ?   ”   they   weren’t   together   anymore   ,   she   shouldn’t   have   to   explain   herself   to   him   .   “   we   didn’t   kiss   anyway   .   didn’t   you   see   me   push   him   away   ?   since   you   clearly   can’t   stop   watching   me   .   ”

[painfools]

" that's . . . i don't even know how to unpack that. " chuckles, brows furrowed. " i don't think there's any amount of money in the world that would make me wanna have a kid. "

"to procreate and fill the world with more evil spawn. plus, the tax write-offs are good from what i hear.. for the marriage and the evil spawn."

[painfools]

smiles,  offering  a  slow  nod.  "  yeah,  "  decides  with  a  sigh.  "  i'm  glad  i'm  not  the  only  one.  "  and  that  he  won't  have  to  spend  the  night  alone.  "  it'd  be  better,  right  ?  we  can  protect  each  other  if  something  happens.  "  when,  more  like.

"  would  you  feel  better  if  i  slept  besides  you?  i  --  i  don't  know  if  i  could  sleep  in  a  separate  room  after  tonight.  "
