Day 13: The Hug™️

[lavenderlhymes]

danger whispers

from west of the hills

along a small lakeside village

the air hangs heavy

with earth and moss and

petrichor, promising a spillage

verdant summits blaze

amber and maroon as shadows

creep close enough to pillage

My Body

[tw // sh] For as long as I can remember, I've been a target - one can easily dismember, Always left to tremor or surrender, To the hatred they try to render.

I walk the streets, and they call me names, They whistle, jeer, and my heart is maimed. My eyes, my ears, all in flames. My body, my being, they tried to claim.

On public transport, I am on high alert, As groping hands try to make me hurt. Their vile touch, their depraved flirt, A daily ordeal, I must endure and skirt.

At work, I try to blend and hide, But their stares make my skin crawl inside. Their words cut deep like sharpened knives, A reminder that I'm not valued as a life.

I long for a day when I can walk free, Without fear of what they'll do to me. A world where respect is the only decree, Where my body isn't a clean-up site to be.

Time to say Goodbye - 30

fare thee well, old self

and reformed self

for we are entering anew.

April, I almost say you are leaving us,

but it is not true - we leave you.

And May is right before us,

and if time tells honestly,

she will not be all the things we hoped her to be,

but in some ways she will be more.

we are leaving you, wellness. and health

and all those other things im leaving behind.

except really you're there. always and forever.

and ill think of these days most fondly,

and cry to the music in the background.

you are perfect and beautiful.

and to anyone who will listen,

please kiss April on the head,

before you say goodbye.

imagining a defiant interrogation whumpee who gets sick of saying "I'm not telling you" so they start going into what sounds initially to be them finally telling whumper what they want to know, but ends up being whumpee wasting time by just quoting a song.

the sun sets behind the clouds - 29

the sun sets behind the clouds

and as your steps carry you away,

my heart’s pieces jingle in your pocket.

~

night, so cold, cold as my hand,

no longer in yours.

and time brings night in recompense.

buck/eddie | teen and up | 2.2k words

for @putijeansdiaz-ronordmann reverse prompt challenge!

"Listen," Eddie clears his throat. "Thank you for doing this. I—"

"Thank me after we get out of this alive." Buck leans forward, his face just a few inches away from Eddie's, he has a conspiratorial glint in his eyes and his cheeks are flushed— Eddie should get an award for how strong he's being right now, seriously. It takes everything in him not to close the gap between them and kiss Buck right then and there. 

He could do it, though, with the excuse of people watching. They need to keep the charade, right? 

When Pepa kept setting him up on awful, horrible dates, and Buck offered to pretend they were dating— well, how could Eddie ever refuse something like that? The chance to get a taste for what he's been aching and longing for since forever, even if it'll end up with his heart more broken than it already is. 

It seemed like a good idea at the time, alright? Eddie's never claimed to make smart, sound decisions. 

or: there's a wedding in texas, a meddling tía pepa and only one bed. somehow, it all works in the end.
