#NICOLE REL » i’ll throw away my faith to keep you safe ( nicole x kristen )

[tornsurvivors]

Also friendly reminder, Nicole stopped Kane’s men from kicking the crap out of Kristen and took the beating instead that put her in a coma, because she didn’t want them touching Kristen ever again. 

Get you a guardian angel like that.

Nicole doesn’t really say the words: ‘I love you’ to Kristen that often. Because they both know they don’t need to. They often say it in an unspoken way, like the little things they’d do for each other or the extreme lengths they would go for each other and they’d just know. 

Those rare occasions when Nicole does say the words, she’s most likely having a very emotional realization or a breakdown or it’s probably one of those times where she almost lost Kristen to Kane or his goons.

Angels with silver wings Shouldn't know suffering I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan That only He understands I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged, things get broken I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken Left us so brittle There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust Have faith in both of us And keep room in your hearts for two

[tornsurvivors]

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask I want to exorcise the demons from your past I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You trick your lovers That you're wicked and divine You may be a sinner But your innocence is mine

DID SHE REALLY EXPECT KRISTEN TO BELIEVE HER?  No. 

How can she --- even when Nicole, herself... still has a hard time hearing herself say it. If she could UNSEE any moment in time, it... it would be the moment she first laid her eyes on that furry mutation. A thing of nightmares. Even though she knew Nadia would find it cute. That woman and cats, she swears. There’s a slow, exaggerated sigh. Just a LONG exhale. Maybe Kris has the right idea here.   

“Got any left to spare?”  She mumbled as she walked over to the blonde, before plopping herself right down on the vacant stool next to Kristen. “Along with a dose of bleach for my brain, maybe.”   Oh, wait till you sober up and see this thing, Kris... you just wait... then we’ll see who’s crazy.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐆𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑. (SW verse ft. Nicole Existere)

Nicole lived out her childhood on Tatoonie in Mos Eisley, where her parents were a mechanic and a smuggler. She developed a deep hatred for the Empire after they got her parents killed when she was seventeen years old. She managed to escape in her father’s ship and fled to another planet where she could survive. She decided to become a smuggler, because it’s all she had known and she decided it was better than fighting with the Resistance. She never really wanted any part in the war. 

A few years later, a certain grey-Sith was escaping and somehow landed on Nicole’s ship while she was on a smuggling run. When she found out the Empire was looking for Kristen, Nicole was hesitant about helping her... but Kristen proved otherwise by taking out a stormtrooper ship pursuing them and decided to help.

They started up their own smuggling business together and she helped Kristen run the bar she owned.

Bonus; Nicole is deadly with a blaster. She learned how to use one when she was very young from her father and it was one thing she loved to do every day after she comes home from her father’s work with him... practicing with the blaster her father had constructed for her. Now, she NEVER misses a single shot.

❓+ What's a memory with Kristen that always makes you laugh? For Nicole ❓+ What do you think is the best way to get Isabella to get you another cat For Nadia ❓+ What would you like to have in your wedding with Isabella? for Nadia

❓+ Who's the better cook Alice or Claire for Alice

❓+ would you and Isabella make a haunted house type thing for work? Would you both put things in to scare each other? What would you put in that you both would enjoy seeing? For Isabel

this prompt.

𝑵𝑰𝑪𝑶𝑳𝑬.)  There’s a lot of those little moments they had. Fleeting, albeit precious and worthwhile. She’ll never forget the temporarily shocked expression on Kristen’s face when a soda can she’d bought for her while staying at some hotel overnight on one of their road trips, had exploded when she opened it and it just sprayed everywhere. Nicole had purposefully shaken it up to play a little ‘prank’ to lighten the tense mood. She didn’t stop laughing till Kristen got her revenge, playfully, of course. Just exactly how Nicole had planned it. But yeah, basically moments like that will always be her favorite memories. Because Kane has no part of it. Nor the war they’re in. It’s just the two of them. 

𝑵𝑨𝑫𝑰𝑨.)   That’s easy--- there is absolutely no denying Nadia. How could you deny that pretty face? And her seducing methods, of course. Plus, all she has to do is convince Isabella to take a look at the tiny faces of the kittens and ask her if she could truly deny them a home. There’s just no way.

Nadia would love for Princess to be the ring bearer in the wedding. As for Leo & Nova, she’s thinking they could be the flower puppies to follow Princess down the aisle. That would be super fucking cute. Them in their Halloween costumes as well, since the wedding is gonna be on Halloween.

𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑪𝑬.)   Probably Alice.... (no offense, Red lmao). But yeah, Claire seems to be the type that’s always working and worrying about other people first, so Alice would be the one that often cooks for them. She does cook up a mean chicken alfredo though... and blueberry pancakes. That’d be for the modern / pre-apocalypse verses. The apocalyptic verses? All they got is canned food. Aside from the fresh veggies they grew in the gardens in the settlement. I feel like they could take turns in making a decent stew. Alice learned the best from her mother.

𝑰𝑺𝑨𝑩𝑬𝑳.)   Pranks to scare one other is kinda Isabel’s love language, honestly. She enjoys throwing puns, jokes, memes and pranks at her bestie / loved ones. You definitely can count on Isabel having something up her sleeve for Spooktober, alllll month long. One day, she’d set something up at work before Isabella arrives. But won’t do it the next day because Isabella would be expecting it. She likes to catch them off guard.

@torntruth:  five times touched, claire and alice or nicole and kristen. (I’ll probably do one for clairice too another time... because nobody said we can’t have both.  :both-is-good.gif:)

i.     Nobody should be alone.  Not here.   The twelve years old Nicole thinks. It’s almost Kristen’s birthday, and hers as well. They’re still stuck in this hellhole and it makes her skin CRAWL, just asking herself how long they’ll be here. How long before they die?   No, she’s not going to believe that they will die. They can’t... they’ll see their family again.  Tears stung her eyes, but her gaze never left Kristen’s back. Did she just see Kristen’s body tremble?  Who knows, her vision is too blurry to tell right now. She inhales, sharp and deep.  Even her hand shakes as she moved closer, and closer. Till she’s directly next to Kristen. Not a shred of hesitation was offered when she reached out for the younger girl’s hand, ever-so-gently wrapping fingers around Kristen’s and pulling it into a hold. A gentle squeeze of reassurance that simply said: we’ll be okay as long we stick together. 

ii.     It still feels like a dream.  The fact Kristen Durus was ALIVE and well. When the door to her bakery opened,      the little bell above it jingling,    and stark blue eyes flicked up-- it felt like the entire world came to a screeching halt. Nicole knew who it was, long before the woman took her sunglasses off to reveal bright vermilion green eyes. She just KNEW.  Maybe it was the fact that the media as of lately, was all about Aiden Kane-- knowing she would eventually hear from someone. Or Nicole MIGHT have dreamt what an older Kristen would’ve looked like before nightmares ruined it every time. Either way, when her back was pressed against the wall in the elevator and feeling Kristen’s body flush against hers-- Nicole’s hand moved to lay along Kristen’s lower back. Fingers curling to grip onto Kristen’s shirt as their lips crashed into a messy,      almost desperate,     kiss-- Nicole knew she was happy with the fact Kristen, indeed, escaped alive. Those two men a seventeen years old Nicole,    awakened from a coma,    had killed were just another pair of liars trying to get under her skin.

iii.     She’s not afraid.   (Blood on her face.)    She’s STILL not afraid.    (Pupils dilated and irises dark from her rage.)   SHE NEVER WILL BE AFRAID--  because she knows Kristen isn’t the monster Kane tried to turn her into.  (Her blood-drenched hand trembles, the one holding the switchblade.)   The smoking Jericho 941 in hand is slowly lowered and intense,     yet protective of her lover,     blue eyes flicks over the body of the super-mutant laying in the puddle of it’s foul blood.  They’re, 100%, DEAD. She holsters her gun, but leaves the latch off. Just in case. Footsteps from her boot-clad feet were barely audible-- (her ragged breathing is louder.)   Her dominant hand moves up and lays on Kristen’s forearm, just holding-- offering that much needed sliver of comfort and she whispers:    let’s go home.

iv.      MAKE ME FORGET;   the words are spoken the loudest through actions-- which is exactly what happened with them. Nicole came back from a ‘trip’ overseas and was greeted by a disheveled Kristen. Clearly something personal must’ve happened, just enough to have an impact on the fearless SWITCHBLADE.   Kristen usually doesn’t let anyone see her in her rawest. Not even Nadia. Only Nicole.  Heavy pants in between heated, messy kisses. Insistent pressing of bodies together, while hands fumbled and tugged on clothes. Nicole catches Kristen’s hands at the button and zipper of her jeans, stopping her for a moment and tugs them away.  “Slow down. Let me.”  Her words are whispered over Kristen’s lips, one of her hands releasing Kristen’s wrist before disappearing inside the blonde’s jeans and underwear. She relishes the sharp inhale that was supposed to be a quiet gasp from Kristen when her fingers come in contact with the bundle of nerves. A gentle caress; something Kristen deserves right now... more than just a quick, rough fuck. 

v.     This may very well be the end of the line for them, or the END OF THE WORLD.   They’re finally going to confront Kane for once and for all. They’ve successfully dismantled his grand ‘army’ and a way in was blown wide open. Nicole’s exhausted, and so was Kristen. They stood together in silence while bodies littered the ground around them-- save for the harsh breathing. Nadia’s somewhere safe with her older brother, so that was a peace of mind for them at least.   DESPITE HOW HARD IT WAS TO LEAVE HER ...    knowing well it may be the last time. Her silver Jericho 941 was held in her hand,     loosely,     while her other-- covered with blood (hers and theirs) reaches up. Fingers trembled as they curled around the back of Kristen’s neck and pulled her in till foreheads touched. They sometimes share this silent prayer. You don’t need to be religious to have a prayer. Just need faith in something. 

“...Let’s end this war.”  They say it together.

@torntruth​ sent in; 

The amount of confidence Kristen exudes is almost inhuman, like she's incapable of much of anything else, just a force to be reckoned with... but there are some times, the fact she's just a person, really shows. It's usually in the most random of situations, something so rare. It's definitely when Kristen walks through the door, too pristine smile on her lips, opens her mouth to say something sweet and catchy before she realizes that... Nic and Isabel are sitting at the same table. Instead, she sort of just says, "Oh." The only thing that could really undo her even more in this moment is if Nadia showed. You know what? Just throw in everyone she actually loves and respects. Not so much the bad guy now. // please, chris, i had TOO much fun.   (oh i don’t doubt you did, red.) 

The two pairs of blue eyes turning to Kristen--- is almost comical. Well, to them at least. Maybe it’s because of the conversation they briefly had before Kris came in. Nicole still had a grin on her face and she’s appearing like she’s TRYING not to laugh again. Isabel, on the other hand, was suddenly looking a little flustered (the literal description of a gentle giant). Especially at a certain memory. The tips of her ears were turning red, just a little. The dead giveaway? It’s the way she was scratching the back of her neck and briefly glancing down, before clearing her throat. But then she smiles... it’s warm and inviting.   ALWAYS IS.  Especially now that she is officially a part of the family. 

“It’s a bummer I didn’t tag along with you when you visited Mary-sue, Kris. Sounds like you had quite the... exciting reunion.”   Nicole does laugh again, unable to hold back the mental picture of a shocked Isabel... speaking of, the tall blonde rolled her eyes and huffed lightly, mouth still twisting into that smile anyway.  Maybe it’s a good thing Nadia wasn’t around. Nicole could see it now... the German cat just mercilessly teasing Isabel about it.

“Nadia had to head out, by the way. Says she’ll be back later.”   Nicole nodded towards the table next to Kristen--- where a note was left with Nadia’s neat handwriting.  Not much was said. Just something about needing to do an errand. Nicole had tried to tag along, because of growing concerns regarding the increase in sightings of Kane’s goons lately.
