#aka nothing for weeks and then a surge of activity for a few days before falling back into nothing

[imbobthetomato]

Oh! I guess I’m supposed to make an introduction post? Ha ha, silly me, cutting right to the business...

[clears throat]

Hey there! I’m Bob the Tomato. You might not recognize me without my friend Larry, but I’m the other host of VeggieTales, heh heh! 

I’ve got an ask box set up so you can ask me questions, and I can even answer questions in character as character’s I’ve played on VeggieTales...if you’re into that sort of thing...

Anyway, thanks for having me on this neat little website. I’ll be around all day! I...I think.

Mouth; room; close; keen

You really know what you’re asking, haha. I cherry-picked for the first three, because as it turns out I use those a lot. And fyi under ‘Close’ is a small excerpt of the Joan/Rio fic ;) 💕 MOUTH From ‘Shine a Light Now (This Time it’s got to be Good)’

“Apparently I am ‘overqualified’,” Beth complains dramatically, putting extra emphasis on it by adding sloppy air quotation marks. Phoebe starts opening her mouth to ask because she cuts her off with: “Find my Family a Pet, Season 5.” Phoebe sputters, grabbing a can of coke to rinse her mouth and spitting it on the pavement. “It’s animals, elderly ánd kids, the three circles of hell. Rookie stuff, damn sure you’re overqualified.”

From ‘Wild at Heart’ Chapter 5

Paul put the bag down, leaning onto the reception desk. “You don’t want to join me and Marissa for breakfast?” he asked. “I hear it’s delicious here.” Rio encircled his arm around Beth’s waist, squeezing it. He clacked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Beth grabbed ahold of his hand, dragging it onto her belly. “Maybe we’ll join you tomorrow, Rio and I have an important appointment.” Rio stroked her through her coat, and Paul picked up on the hint.

From ‘If worst comes to worst, I left a note’

“Y’know what ya getting into?” he asks. She smirks. “Do you?” His eyes get darker and her attacks her mouth again, slipping his tongue between her lips. She circles her hand onto the back of his head, pulling him into her more. And, as much as she hates to admit it, it’s nothing like she ever experienced. Not with Dean, not with the two boys she kissed before, this is something more, and it’s frightening. Frightening, but thrilling. 

From ‘The Kaleidoscope of Love’

And she surges back into him, claiming his mouth. Their lips sliding over each other, erupting sparks in her chest she can’t remember feeling. Their position frustrates Beth, sitting next to each other, so she takes it upon herself to pull back from him – the groan he releases almost embarrassing. She doesn’t let him wait long, climbing onto him so she can straddle him. The trail his warm hands leave on her skin as he lets them travel up from her knees to her thighs, before sliding them under her dress is mesmerizing. She kissing him briefly on the lips. “More,” she breathes, quite sure her pitch is quite uneven. 

From (WT) ‘Come on baby, won’t you show some class’ [aka Mick locks Beth and Rio in a storage room because he’s tired of their shit]

Rio lets his fingers travel along her panties, feeling how wet she already is for him. He chuckles at that, increasing the pressure. “Yeah, you want me, don’t you darling?” He says, now slipping two fingers between her folds, feeling the heaviness of her wetness flooding his hand. He leans his head in, putting his mouth against her ear. “Don’t you?’ he asks, but sucks her earlobe in before she can answer, retracting a very repressed moan from her. That just riles her, and she tries to retract her bend leg from the table. But he grasps her ankle, keeping that leg in place. He reaches out with his other hand, buttoning open his pants, pulling down those and his boxers far enough to extract his lid. “Don’t, do, that,” he says, licking her face on one side in one long stroke. And she revels in it, against her better judgement. 

From (WT) ‘Get Well Soon’ [or the S3 deviation I started writing before S3 aired - FYI Orla is the realtor the girls use to find a store]

The day went by in a blur at best. Beth and Ruby had been cleaning the worst of the storage rooms for almost the entire day. Next they had painted the front-side of the store all white, immediately changing the look of it from depressed to welcoming. And when Orla entered the store around two she even took of her mouth mask. “Look who got this place close to presentable,” she stated, looking around somewhat impressed. Ruby threw her paintbrush into the turpentine. “I’m sure it still smells like fish,” she sighed. “Well, yeah,” Orla admitted. “But at least now it’s thinly masked by chemicals. And as you can tell by my face that’s something I’m way more comfortable with,” she joked. Ruby laughed, kind of surprised by Orla’s sense of humor. “I did hear it’s a bad idea to shoot anchovies up your forehead anyway.” Orla shrugged. “I’ll try anything with a success rate of over 85%, so bring it,” she smiled as she put a bunch of papers on the counter. 

ROOM From ‘Wild at Heart’ Chapter 5 (apparently I use this word a LOT in this chapter, Imma cut down on that one haha)

“No, we’re good,” Salazar answered. She exited the same way the game. “Got enough estrogen in the room as it is, right?” he said, grabbing his teacup and raising it to Rio. Who answered by raisin his own cup. Beth looked at him with disdain, she failed to hide it. She tried to separate this business Rio from the Rio she knew from the wedding, and even though she could fracture herself easily, breaking him up into different people was way harder. “Are you kidding me?” she shot at Rio. He gave her nothing. “We were in business before I was in your bed, you should give me some credits,” she said angrily. “My ass is on the line here too. And I sure as hell have more on that line than you do!”

From ‘If worst comes to worst, I left a note’

“Why didn’t you like me last time?” she asks. “Think you wouldn’t be interested.” Beth is taken aback by that, and it shows. “Why? You liked someone better?” she throws back. He laughs genuinely and shakes his head. “Nah. Just thought I’d was a bit out of your wheelhouse.” “Why?” she asks. But the buzzer goes off, and he wastes no time getting to the other side of the room to get to his next date.

From ‘The Kaleidoscope of Love’

Turner’s been on holiday with his boyfriend for a week in Bora Bora, and since he’s the only one who talks to the matches she doesn’t really have anything to do. She has already cleaned the front office and the break room and the cabinet with office supplies after two days, so now her most potentially productive activity is putting colorful post-its on her own face. Fortunately, just before she feels like her last braincells are dying off, the phone rings. And she scrambles to sit up in her chair, grabbing the horn. “Love Inc, Amber speaking, how may—” “Amber!” It’s Turner. He sounds agitated. “Well, hello sunshine,” she smiles, feel her own teeth crack at the faux sweet tone of it. “Cut the crap,” he orders. And she can’t really make out a lot of background noise, but the loud voices in the background, and actually – altogether chaos, don’t sound too promising. For him though, this sounds like all the opportunity for her. 

From ‘A Tail to Remember’ [AU where Beth suddenly sprouts a tail that acts on her deepest desires]

“What?” she croaks, her voice still paralyzed by sleep. She rubs her eyes with the back of her hand, and when she can see well through the dusk of the room, she sees Dean laying face down onto the ground next to the bed. “You pushed me!” he’s upset, face crowded with angry splotches of red. And, did she? She looks at where she’s at; still very much on her own side, not even close to the middle. “How?” she asks confused. He’s being all angry-toddler about it, gathering his covers and dumping them on the airbed. “I’m sure you just had a bad dream,” she offers. 

From ‘Get Well Soon’

Beth let the curtain drop back again and focused on the envelope, as she walked back to her room. She turned it around in her hands, there was no address, no stamp. She dropped onto the bed as she opened the crimson envelope in her hands, extracting the midnight blue card from it. In swirly silver printed handwriting it said ‘Get Well Soon!’ surrounded by differently shaped stars. Beth almost sighed in relief, recognizing the print from Lucy’s Etsy. When she opened it though, it felt like she was being doused in icy cold water. ‘Thinking of you lots!’ was staring at her, mocking her with a scarily recognizable handwriting even without the weird e’s he usually wrote. Without another thought Beth threw the card into a corner, dimmed the lights, and crawled into the bed, hoping it would swallow her while she would fight her nightmares that night. 

CLOSE From the ‘Untitled Joan Holloway/Rio’ fic

“I did tell him I’d give him a dollar if Mick would be there in promised time. He lived up to expectations,” she explained. Rio turned his head. “Give him two,” he ordered Mick, before returning his attention back to Joan. She felt great with Rio ignoring the line of people waiting outside to get in, the bouncer opening the door without even giving them a questioning look. Inside was a whole different experience than the rundown outside gave. It was still kind of dark but the lighting and music gave it an intimate and welcoming feel. He escorted her to a booth close to the bar, looking out onto the dance floor. It was very obvious she was one of the very few white people here. “What’s your poison?” he asked, signaling a waiter. “Maybe some bourbon?” she asked. He ordered a bottle of the good stuff. She liked that. She turned her back to him. “Would you mind, taking the pins out?” she asked, her chin pushed against her shoulder as she looked at him expectantly.

From ‘Wild at Heart’ Chapter 5

Beth drops her bag, and moves in on him. “You know, I shot that window pretty good last time,” she says haughtily. “Yeah, when you were on your feet,” he says. Beth takes the gun from him. And she’s taken back to that one night Rio shot Dean in the chest. And by now she’s pretty sure he wasn’t totally honest about not knowing if that shot would leave him alive. Especially after what she now knows she can do with a gun, much less Rio, who has years and years’ experience on her. “So, did Sal get back to you?” she asks, while she takes a stand close to him, taking a hold on his gun. 

From ‘The Kaleidoscope of Love’

It’s all he needs to fully attack her mouth. Entangling his hand in her hair, pulling her in as close as they can get. Their lips slandering, navigating to tend to each other’s needs, sucking and biting, both teasing and tending with conviction. She smiles a little when she thinks about the lipstick marks she’s probably leaving on his face, takes pride in marking him, letting everybody know what they’ve been up to. The thought makes her bolder, rocking her hips against his, a movement he immediately answers, groaning into her.

KEEN NOTHING (*le gasp*). Well, there is once, but it’s in the chapter of Shine A Light Now (This Time it’s got to be Good) where I’m working on now, and that’s just too rough of a draft.

I referenced tons of other work with Batmom in this story, more than usual so...Yup :-). Anyway hope you’ll like it, and as usual, feedbacks are very VERY welcomed ! : 

FINISHED SERIES : PART 2, PART 2.5, PART 3, PART 4

my master list blog :  @ella-ravenwood-archives

__________________________________________________

 Every time Richard Grayson came to visit his parents, siblings or “grandfather” (he came to call Alfred “gramps”, just to annoy him), nostalgia pinched his heart.

Whenever he climbed those steps to the main entrance, opened the big doors to come in the foyer, walked down corridors, rooms etc etc...memories of his childhood and teen years in the manor surged him, and filled him with a kind of sadness that wasn’t too terrible to endure. 

A kind of sadness he always greeted as an old friend. 

Nostalgia. 

Heart tightening, and a stupid fond smile plastered on his face. 

Every time. 

You’d think after four years, it wouldn’t happen anymore, right ? But no.

Dick Grayson was a sentimental, and even though he moved out of his home years ago, and found a nice apartment in Blüdhaven, built his own home...It always made him feel weird to come back to the Manor. 

Even more since he married his teenage sweetheart, Barbara Gordon, and got his first child (the most wonderful little girl in the universe ! Position she shared with his little sister Cass’ of course, who was so cute when she was still a kid ! Damian, aka “most protective uncle ever”, agreed).

Because now, with his job as a police officer and his nightly activities in Blüdhaven...He rarely had time to come “home”. 

Well, that wasn’t really true. 

He still came over at least four times a week and, on most week-ends, his family would come to his apartment to have lunch. And he often caught up with one of his siblings, or parents, or Alfred but...it wasn’t the same anymore. 

He still didn’t see you as often as he used to. As often as he wanted to. 

It was actually a tough change for him, to not be able to get out of his room and find one of you somewhere in his house.

He actually thought about asking his dad to buy an entire building, and then you guys could all live on one floor and you’d be all together always and...he quickly realized it was unreasonable and ridiculous. 

It was just so strange that he couldn’t see any of you whenever he wanted. He was a “responsible” adult now (who bought legos for his daughter just so he could play with them too). 

He grew up...and his siblings too. Hell, Damian was going to be seventeen !! 

He had to accept that things were changing. Evolving. 

It was awful. 

...Though he found reassurance in the fact that some things actually never changed. 

Like how much his parents were in love. 

Dick had let himself in the manor and was looking for any members of his family, roaming the gigantic house. 

He found Alfred asleep on his father’s office chair, a duster in one hand (the poor butler wasn’t getting any younger, and got tired easily nowadays). 

Dick put a blanket over him and left the office silently, continuing his search. 

He found you and Bruce in the main living room, asleep as well, on the couch, in each others’ arms. 

You weren’t getting any younger either...and though his mom, you, was quite younger than Bruce, it seemed like you were the one who was getting tired the fastest lately...

You weren’t even fifty yet ! But in the past few months, you always seemed so exhausted and such...Dick made a mental note to remind you to rest more, and to stop taking care of them so much like that, it would kill you one day ! 

There was a note on the living room table. Dick recognized his youngest brother’s handwriting (elegant and classy). The note stated : 

“Parents, 

We went to Jason’s place to see his new motorcycle and to kick his ass butt ass (sorry Mom, for trying to watch my profanities :p (this stupid smiley was added by Tim Drake)) at Tekken, 

Love you (Cassandra forced me to write that),

Damian, Cass and Tim.”

Dick smiled at the thought of his younger siblings playing Tekken. 

That game always ended in “bloodshed” and fights, at the Wayne household (competitive kids)...until you would come along and win every game and settle their quarrel easily. 

You were the best at Tekken, period. 

Well, there was the sempiternel fight about who was the second best but you know... 

Yes, his siblings’ antics always made Dick smile uncontrollably. 

Another thing that always made him smile : you and Bruce, forever in love. 

And as he was looking fondly over you two, at your embraced form on the couch, he couldn’t help but smile like an idiot and think : “relationship goal, right there”. 

It was everything he aspired to have with Barbara. Your perfect relationship. 

Haha. 

Perfect ? Well, not always. 

You were both too stubborn for your own good, and had quite a temper. A strong personality too, which meant that sometimes, fights happened. 

Small ones about petty things, and big one over important matters...but it always ended up the same, wether it was about something small or big : with you two apologizing profusely, regardless of who was wrong, and then...going to...do...gross things in your bedroom (or whatever place somewhat private was available to you). 

Dick shivered. 

He was almost thirty and did some...uncatholic things with Barbara too but he could never not be be grossed out by his parents doing...ew. 

Whatever, the important thing there, wasn’t that, but it was that no matter what, you’d always pull through. You always had each other’s back. You always made up, and your “perfect” relationship would only grow stronger each time. 

You guys were made for each others, and it wasn’t a silly fight that would separate you two (Hell, every healthy couple fought from time to time). 

Though...it almost did once. 

Here’s a memory Dick didn’t particularly cherish. 

That time he almost never had a second (amazing and perfect) mom. 

That time you two almost made a decision that would have make the both of you forever miserable and bitter. 

That time you almost ruined your life (Dick loved to be over-dramatic...though in this instance, he genuinely believed you almost ruined each others life). 

************

Nearly twenty years earlier : 

-Oh my God Bruce, get over yourself ! 

-I’m the one that’s suppose to get over myself ?! Please (Y/N), grow up ! 

This was terrible. 

Dick had to do all the efforts in the World not to cry. 

He had been living with you and Bruce Wayne for the past six months now (you moved in with Bruce after about a year of relationship...Eight months hidden from paparazzis and danger, four months officially together. It was Bruce’s idea. He loved you, you were almost always at the Manor anyway, you had an entire chest of drawers full of your stuffs...you might as well live with him !). 

And though the pain of losing his parents was still vivid, his little eight years old heart felt he had another chance at life. Felt like he could still be happy. 

Sometimes, he felt awful that, only six months after his parents’ death, he was already feeling better...but he couldn’t help it. 

You, Bruce and Alfred made him feel like he was home instantly, as soon as he set foot in Wayne Manor. 

Especially you, if he was honest. Bruce was busy, and Alfred’s English phlegm didn't go through Dick yet, just like Dick’s need for hugs and reassurance wasn’t clear enough for the butler yet. But you...

You were but (almost) twenty two years old and yet took full responsibility (well, almost too, Bruce was there too) of that lost (and adorable) kid. 

Though you were barely an adult yourself, you didn’t hesitate one second about what you’d do when Bruce said he was taking Dick as his ward. 

You just took care of him as if he was yours, without questions. 

When he had nightmares, shivering in his bed, you were there before he opened his eyes and screamed. And you always convinced Bruce easily to let him sleep in your bed, between the two of you, when he was still too scared to fall back asleep. 

You always asked him if he was alright, you listened to him, and to put it in a simpler way : you just loved him. You made sure he knew you loved him. Made sure he knew he still had a family. 

In fact, you and Bruce were making him feel so at home that he almost called you “mom” and “dad” a few times. 

...He wanted to call you like that. 

But he was to afraid that it would mean betraying his own parents, betraying their memory ! Oh man, it was a lot to take for an eight year old boy, life wasn’t suppose to be that difficult at that age ! 

...It seemed though, like part of his dilemma would be no more soon, as he keeps listening to you and Bruce arguing in the living room, hiding on top of the stairs: 

-I guess this is what I get for dating a goddamn child ! 

Bruce says angrily, and your face says it all. It looses all colors, and it seems to Dick as if you were deeply wounded by Bruce’s words...but too stubborn to actually show it, as you say : 

-Oh. Child. Of course. It didn’t seem to bother you last night uh ? 

-Completely unrelated to the subject. 

-Oh really ? 

-Yes really, and you know it (Y/N). You’re being unresonable. You know you’re wrong, and lack arguments, hence you start to talk about things that has nothing to do with the subject. 

-Like you just did by stating that you’re dating a “goddamn child” ? 

Dick couldn’t really understand everything you were saying (he was so curious about what you did last night though...a pillow fight maybe ? if the situation wasn’t so desperate, and made him feel so miserable, then he would have been vexed that you didn’t invite him to said pillow fight !), but his heart tightened at your every words.

He couldn’t stand seeing you two fight. 

He wasn’t used to see you two fight...In six months with you guys, he only saw you argue about very petty things a few times, and immediately apologize. 

But this time ? It seemed serious. 

It was about Bruce’s night activities (Dick knew now that he was the Batman), and how he put himself in useless danger sometimes. How he needed to be more careful. 

It was about Bruce not wanting you to meddle with this part of his life at all, even if he knew you were right. 

It was about Bruce still being somewhat reluctant about letting you fully in his life. 

It was about Bruce being an insensitive prick. 

It was about you being too stubborn to let it go. 

It was about you wanting to meddle with his night activities, because you cared about what happened to him, but also because you were vexed he was treating you like a weak child, trying to shield you from all of it.

It was about you not being experienced enough with his “dark side” yet to realize when to stay silent, or to know how exactly to tell him things. 

There was a way to talk to Bruce. And you didn’t master it quite yet...it would take you a few more years for that really. Your boyfriend (soon to be husband) was a damn complicated man. 

-Don’t tell me what to do (Y/N). I was upfront with you. You know this...is...my life work, and it comes first. 

You stay in front of him for a few moments, in silence, taking his words in. 

Bruce looks at you back, his face unreadable. 

He knows perfectly well this is not the truth, that you and Dick are more important than anything else now...but he’s too stubborn to admit it, he’s still too used to his old lonely ways (even though he had you by his side for more than a year now...it had just been six months since you were here 24/7). 

And he’s not sure he wants to let it go...Wouldn’t that mean betraying his parents ? 

Finally, you say those awful words, that makes Dick want to cry even more : 

-Fine, I think we’re done here then.

-Fine. 

-Fine. 

You glare at Bruce, and he gives you one of his infuriating arrogant look in return. It does indeed, infuriate you. 

When you said : “I think we’re done here”, you didn’t mean “done” forever. You meant that there was nothing more to say. That this fight was over, and would stay unresolved. You meant...but it doesn’t matter what you meant, because he misunderstands and, struggling to hide how truly heartbroken he is, he says coldly : 

-You know where the door is. 

It’s a tone he never used with you before. It lacks love, awe, fondness, joy...it’s empty (just like he’s feeling now), and it hurts you more than anything else. 

And from there...Things escalate quickly. 

You both say things you do not actually mean. You both enter “self-defense” mode and starts to be genuinely awful to each others.

You both go too far. 

Neither of you actually say the word “break-up”, but as you storm off the manor without even saying “bye” to Alfred or Dick, what is happening is pretty clear. 

Sat on the floor in the corridors upstairs, Dick hears you leave in a fury, saying profanities he would never dare to say out loud. 

He hears Bruce yell : “And don’t come back !”. 

And all he can do, is stay there, “hidden”, crying softly. When Alfred finds him, a few hours later, for the first time since he came in the Manor, he takes him in his arms, and they stay like that for a bit. 

Bruce sees them, as he climbs the stairs...but he ignores them. Silently, he goes and locks himself in his bedroom, trying to erase from his head the face of that poor little boy who’s crying in his butler’s arms. 

For the second time in his life, Dick Grayson’s family is “dead”. 

************

Dick doesn’t see you for almost an entire week. 

The day after your departure, one of your friend came to get your stuffs. 

Bruce wasn’t there...since you left he buried himself in his work, both by day and by night. 

Bruce Wayne never attended that many meetings at Wayne Inc, and Batman never arrested that many criminals in the streets in such a short time span. 

The poor man was exhausted, both physically and mentally...Dick understood. When he first arrived at Wayne Manor, right after his parents’ death, he never forgot the look his adopted father gave you, when he said : “I know things are difficult for you right now...but I promise it will get better. I know my words might sound hollow for you but...one day, you’ll see. One day, you’ll realize that the World is still spinning, and that you’re still able to love and be loved. I hope I will help, just like others have helped me”, emphasizing the fact that Bruce knew most of his happiness came from you being by his side. 

But he was too stubborn to admit it, and therefor, worked even more. 

Maybe he was trying to stay distracted, to keep going so he would never have time to actually think about what happened ?

Maybe. 

Dick doesn’t hear anything about you for an entire week, when you finally call. It seems you knew Bruce wasn’t there, as you called on the Manor’s landline. 

Alfred answers of course, and you two talk for a few minutes. It sounds to Dick as if the butler went through different feelings while talking to you, from despair to anger, finishing on a beaten note. 

He comes to him, and gives him the phone, saying a flat and emotionless : 

-It is Miss (Y/L/N). 

Excitedly, Dick takes the machine in his small hand and says, voice full of hope : 

-(Y/N) ? 

It’s such a relief, to hear you say :

-Hey buddy, how’s it going ? 

-Ok. When are you coming back ? 

There’s an awkward silence, and he can feel by your tone that you’re choosing your words very carefully : 

-I...I’m not sure I’m coming back kiddo. 

HAHA ! “Not sure”. You didn’t outright say : “I’m not coming back”. You just said..”not sure”. This was something, right ? You continue : 

-Listen buddy, what about I take you to the fair tomorrow ? And we can talk. Would you like that ? 

-Yes ! Yes I would love that ! 

On the other side of the line, you can’t help but smile. Damn you missed that kid. But your smile soon turn sad and you say : 

-I have to go right now, but we’ll talk more tomorrow ok ? Can you give the phone back to Alfred please ? 

-Yes. See you tomorrow right ? 

-Right. 

-Promise ? 

-Promise. 

-Good. You can’t break a promise. Bye bye, I love you. 

The words come out of his mouth faster than he can think and...he’s a bit embarrassed, but not too much. After all, it’s true. He loves you. 

Your voice breaks a bit as you answer :

-Love you too buddy, love you too. See you tomorrow. 

He gives the phone back to Alfred, and act as if he’s going back to his business, though he clearly tries to listen in on what the butler says. 

Alfred though, knows better, and walks further away, and Dick end up only understanding a few cryptic words : “...ask him yourself...” “...miserable...” “...back...” “...his everything...”. 

Soon enough though, being just a child, he forgets about it, and focus all heartedly on the perspective of seeing you again tomorrow. And at the fair at that ! He couldn’t wait. 

He missed you so much, during that week of silence...

************

You end the call with Alfred and your heart is filled with nothing but sadness and pain. 

You want to call Bruce, to beg him to take you back, to apologize, to...whatever really. You just want to hear his voice. 

But you don’t. Because you’re too stubborn. Because he doesn’t call you either.

And man, why did you have to feel so bad about not talking to Dick in a week ? You weren’t his mom after all !! 

Just thinking those words make your heart bleed. It makes you realize that things are truly over, and that you’ll...never...be...his mom. For the hundredth time that week, you go to bed early and weep all night...

************

Bruce is greeted by a very excited Dick who jumps in his arms and goes on and on about what he’ll do the next day. Automatically, Bruce catches him and lifts him up in the air, holding him against his chest. 

It takes the Batman a few minutes to finally understand why, for the first time in a week, his boy seems so lively. 

It’s you. 

Of course, it’s you.

It’s the prospect of seeing you again. 

For a split second, Bruce’s heart beats faster, and it almost feels as if he’s going to be the one seeing you tomorrow. 

But the dark reality slaps him in the face fast enough. He won’t see you. Not ever. Not after all the things he dared to tell you...

And oh he regrets every single words, oh he wishes he was brave enough to call you and beg for your forgiveness...He would do anything to get you back, he would do anything you wanted. He would even stop being Batman, if that’s what it took and...But it wouldn’t happen. 

He was too cowardly, too proud and stubborn, to actually call you and apologize. To actually give himself another shot at “being happy”. 

It couldn’t happen anymore. He had his chance, and he blew it. It was destiny bringing him back down on Earth. You’d be better off without him. That was sure. It’s as if life was telling him : “you’ve been a selfish bastard, you knew your relationship with her wouldn’t actually go anywhere, and you played with her...this is your punishment. Karma’s a bitch”. 

And as Dick was going on and on about all the things he’d do with you at the fair, it dawned on him that...vacations were over. 

You left, forever. 

He had to...

-DO YOU THINK THERE’S ROLLERCOASTERS AT THE FAIR ?! DO YOU THINK I’M TALL ENOUGH TO RIDE THEM !!?? DO YOU THINK (Y/N) WILL BUY ME COTTON CANDY ?! 

Just talking about you made him want to end it all. That’s how much he loved and missed you. He’ve had enough of this life of pain and misery. When you came in, you eclipsed (almost) the darkness...if he didn’t make a promise to his parents, that he would spend his life avenging them, he’s not sure he would still be alive. 

He listens, keeping silent, to Dick’s ramblings about you, and about what you guys are going to do. Alfred fills him in on what you said on the phone, how you asked to see Dick and take him out for the day. 

Bruce doesn’t say anything. He couldn’t bear the fact that the boy would be able to see and touch you, while he himself would never be allowed to do that ever again. But what could he do ? Stop Dick from ever seeing you again ? 

You’d never allow that, loving that kid too much. And besides...it wasn’t this poor little eight year’s old fault, your relationship didn’t last. 

Why should he be punished for something he had no control over ? Bruce shook his head and chased away his selfish thoughts. 

Of course he’d let Dick see you. 

But...Was it really fair to do so, knowing you wouldn’t be there for him as much as you used to ? Was it fair to let him have hope of you ever coming back when Bruce knew it would never happen ? He didn’t want the boy to be hurt...

Maybe he shouldn’t let him see you. 

No. This was ridiculous. You...

-Do you think I’ll be able to convince her to come back, eh, Bruce ? 

Lost in his thoughts, it seemed as if the Batman lost track of the conversation, and didn’t hear a big chunk of Dick’s ramblings. He couldn’t remember how the kid came to talk about you coming back...Oh this wasn’t good. 

He gives a desperate look to Alfred, but the butler isn’t looking back. In fact, he’s turned away from his “master”, in an obvious “You got yourself in this mess, handle things yourself” way, and slowly leaves the room. 

Bruce turns to Dick’s painfully hopeful face, and say : 

-I...I don’t think she...wants to...wouldn’t want to...

He stumbles on his words, and it seems to encourage the little boy. Yes. This was his time. He had a week to rehearse his speech, but didn’t dare to say anything...but now ? Now it was the time : 

-Bruce, we don’t know that ! You didn’t even call her. You guys didn’t speak calmed down yet. You know when people are angry, they say stupid things. Which is what happened. There’s still a chance, and if you want her to come bac...

-No. 

Bruce understood where the boy wanted to go. And he had to rip any hope from him, now. Otherwise, it would become dangerous. 

Bruce understood that Dick was about to try and convince him to make a move, to try and get you back. He guessed easily that the kid was about to tell him that he’ll talk to you tomorrow, to plead his case. That he’d help in any way shape or form. 

Bruce knew that Dick was about to go on a rant about how they should try again, about how there was still...hope. 

But Bruce knew better. He was convinced he would never get you back, he knew he went too far, pushed you away one too many time...He knew you thought his Batman activities were more important to him than you or worst, than Dick, and he knew you couldn’t forgive him (at the time, it seems he didn’t fully understand you yet...but you two were still in the “early stage” of the relationship of course). 

And he had to destroy all hope. He had to be blunt, though dishonest. 

-...No ? 

Dick said in a small voice, not understanding. Closing his eyes, Bruce got on his knees and put his hands on the boy’s shoulders. After a deep sigh, he said : 

-I...don’t want (Y/N) back. And I meant what I told her. 

-No Bruce, you love her. 

Dick’s innocent look, and the way his voice sounded so sure of his statement...almost make Bruce cracks. The man almost breaks down and tells all of his feelings to his kid but...he’s just a kid. A tiny eight years old. He couldn’t burden that boy with his pain like that...And so he shakes his head and says : 

-No Dickie. No. I...Loved her. But those feelings are...gone...now. We’re...we’re not together anymore. We broke up. That’s how life is. Sometimes...you...just have to move on from good things and...or...good things turn into bad...I don’t want her back. And she doesn’t want to come back. You heard her, we’re done. It’s over. 

Every single stumbling words that came out of his mouth was a struggle. But he thought that his cold tone was pretty convincing. He thought that Dick and his young age would buy his lies easily (clearly underestimating him). He gets back on his feet and ruffle his boy’s hair, taking the direction of the Batcave (he needed to think about something else than you right now). 

Dick looks at him leave, tears welled up in his eyes...and more determined than ever. 

************

Of course, his failure today could have had convinced him to abandon all hope. 

But...no, never. He knew he was right. 

That morning, you came to pick Dick up. You thought you saw Bruce looking at your car from behind his bedroom’s curtains but...It was probably all in your head. Wishful thinking. You wanting him to miss you...but for what ? 

You wouldn’t get back together. 

The vision of that little eight year old boy excitedly going down the Manor’s stairs, a backpack in his hand, and rushing in your car lifted your heart. 

For the first time in a week, you didn’t feel too terrible. Hell, you even caught yourself smiling widely at Dick ! 

You feel a bit bad for not going out to say “hi” to Alfred...No, that was an understatement. You grew so close from the man, while you were dating Bruce...it physically hurt your soul to not go out to hug him and catch up...but what if Bruce was there ? 

You couldn’t risk it. And so you just kinda nod at the butler from your car, and drive away, not noticing his pained expression. 

The morning flies by so fast, you don’t even realize it’s already noon, only Dick’s belly grumbling gives you a hint. 

And it’s there, while you eat lunch, that he attacks. 

He talks about Bruce, observing your reaction. But just like your boy...ex-boyfriend, you cut his sentences short. 

There is no “(Y/N) and Bruce” anymore, you’re not getting back together. 

Dick can tell you even less words than he told Bruce...And yet. 

Yet it doesn’t discouraged him. 

It should have had. But it doesn’t. 

A few months ago, Dick started his training with Bruce. One day, he too would be a night vigilante ! And one of his first lesson was this : “Always observe the situation, always know your ennemies”. 

He would have never thought but today...his ennemies were the people he loved most in the World. 

You and Bruce. 

He triggered emotions in you by talking about getting back together, and he was now convinced that you both loved each other but were too dumb (later he’d know that “dumb” wasn’t the right word...”stubborn” was...well, stubbornness was dumb) to apologize and fix things yourselves ! 

Or maybe too scared ? Not brave enough ? No. Impossible. Not you two. It wasn’t that. You were really just...too dumb. 

By telling you guys he would try to get you back together, he made sure that you were still in love. And obviously, you were. 

You both thought you were way better liers than you really were. 

Dick could see through you two. When you said “we’re not going back together, I don’t want too, and he/she wouldn’t either anyway”, all he could hear was the “anyway” signifying that there was still a kind of wish to be back together, that you were just afraid it was a one-way thing...

Yes. Months of training actually taught him a lot. 

Dick was slowly becoming a detective. And theory had no secrets for him...The “know your enemies part” was over. Now came the part he...didn’t know so well. 

The action. 

He was still too inexperienced in that. He wasn’t sure how to act...after all, he was just an eight year old boy. 

And he couldn’t ask Bruce for help, as he would usually when he was in a delicate situation, because Bruce was part of the problem...

It took Dick a few days to come up with a solution. 

What did Bruce always said ? 

-If you’re in deep and big trouble, and I’m not here to help...Call this number. Ask for Superman and tell him everything. He will help. He will fix things. 

This definitely counted as “deep and big trouble”. And Bruce couldn’t help. And he needed someone to help him fix things...

Dick waited for Bruce to leave for his nightly activities, and for Alfred to look away (Dick wasn’t sure yet if Alfred would agree with him and his plan and...he couldn’t risk the butler to stop him. Of course, he would never do such a thing, because he wanted as much as Dick for you two to get back together, and he actually “looked away” on purpose but...well, he couldn’t blame the kid for being unsure, after all, Alfred didn’t talk much about what he thought of the situation, things being too hurtful for him to...). 

He dialed the “red number” Bruce gave him. 

A voice he didn’t recognize fused from the computer : 

-Member N°2. Batman. You’ve reached the League headquarters, how can I be of service ? 

With an hesitant and small voice, Dick says : 

-Hum...Can I...talk to...Superman ? 

-Member n°2. Batman. You asked to talk to Superman. Getting you through...now. 

There were a few agonizing minutes where Dick thought Superman wouldn’t pick up but...Finally, his face appeared on the computer. He seemed a bit panicky, and when he noticed Dick in front of him, seemed to get even more panicked : 

-Dick ? What is happening ? Are you ok ? Is Batman ok ? What is the danger ?! 

Dick took a big breath to give himself courage and said, more determined than ever : 

-No, I am not ok. And Batman definitely isn’t either. And the danger...it’s his dumb self being too dumb to realize he’s taking a dumb decision ! 

To be continue...

weren’t we supposed to be watching a movie?

A/N: belated because i’m not very well at the moment and it hurts to look at a screen (tardiness is probably going to be a recurring theme for the other fics i have planned for this week if i don’t get better soon) but here is my contribution for day 1 of clexa halloween week

Summary: When Clarke suggests that they watch a horror movie, Lexa doesn’t want to admit that she’s scared of them. Thankfully she’s got a couple of tricks up her sleeve to distract Clarke before she can press play.

aka an excuse for me to write smut with a very tenuous link to halloween

Read on AO3.

“We’re supposed to be watching a movie.”

Lexa hums incoherently in response, and then moves her lips to the exposed pillar of Clarke’s neck. The skin is hot beneath her touch, flushed a pretty pink from their making out, and Lexa drags her tongue across the flesh, tracing a path between two freckles that decorate the creamy skin. Clarke lets out a soft hiss as Lexa’s mouth finds the flutter of Clarke’s pulse in her neck, and Lexa closes her teeth around Clarke’s skin, not hard enough to leave a mark but enough for Clarke to feel it and elicit a low whimper.

“Lexa,” Clarke gasps. “Movie.”

Clarke’s voice is significantly huskier than the last time she spoke. That was Lexa, that’s something that she did, and the sense of pride that surges through Lexa’s body with that knowledge only brings with it a thirst for more, a need to slowly dismantle each one of Clarke’s inhibitions until the blonde is nothing more than a writhing mess, a soft putty for Lexa’s hands to mould at her own whim.

Dropping her palms to Clarke’s denim-clad butt, Lexa gives the cheeks a squeeze and encourages Clarke to rock her pelvis over Lexa’s own hips, then smiles suggestively at the girl in her lap as she says, “Or we could just…”

For a moment, Lexa thinks that she’s triumphed. Clarke’s eyes are hazy, her pupils dark with want, and her chest heaves with each lurching breath.

But somehow, Clarke has within her the willpower to say no to what Lexa is offering her.

“We can do that later,” Clarke says, reluctantly extracting herself from Lexa’s arms. “Come on, let’s watch.”

Clarke reaches for the television remote that fell to the floor somewhere between Clarke climbing into Lexa’s lap and Lexa tugging Clarke’s shirt up and over her head, then points it towards the screen in the corner as she scrolls through the selection to find the right movie.

“What if I don’t like horror movies?”

Looking across at Lexa, Clarke arches an eyebrow, then sniggers under her breath as she says, “Good one.”

“I’m serious.”

Clarke pauses, the television remote still held in her outstretched hand. She stares at Lexa in disbelief, waiting for the moment where Lexa cracks and tells her that it’s just a joke, but when that moment doesn’t come, Clarke’s expression morphs from one of confusion to one of wide-eyed surprise.

“You … you don’t like horror movies?”

Lexa shrugs indifferently, then answers, “Not really.”

“But you’re … you’re …” Clarke stammers, searching for the right words.

“I’m what?” Lexa asks in amusement, interested to see what Clarke’s reaction will be to this new piece of information that Lexa has decided to share with her.

“You always seem so unaffected by everything,” Clarke explains. “And now you’re telling me that Miss “love is weakness” is scared of watching a horror movie.”

“I’m not scared,” says Lexa. “I just don’t like them.”

“Yeah right.”

“They’re full of gimmicky jump scares, the plots are non-existent, and the characters are predictable and under-developed,” elaborates Lexa.

“Nerd,” says Clarke, poking Lexa’s shoulder with one of her fingers. “It’s just a movie.”

Lexa gently extracts the television remote from Clarke’s fingers, placing it on the coffee table out of Clarke’s reach, and then dips her other hand down to palm at Clarke’s butt through her jeans as she lowers her voice and says, “Then why waste our time watching ‘just a movie’ when there are so many better things we could be doing?”

Clarke’s breath catches in her throat and her eyes darken. Much to Lexa’s delight, Clarke seems to have forgotten about the movie in favour of other activities.

With one of her hands on the arm of the couch beside Lexa’s head to support her weight, Clarke leans down until her face almost meets Lexa’s, Clarke replies throatily, “You make a compelling argument.”

Lexa tangles one hand in Clarke’s hair, cupping the back of her head as she draws Clarke’s lips down to touch her own. Their mouths meet in an urgent kiss, tongues swiping messily against each other. Feeling bold, Lexa’s hand traces a burning path up Clarke’s spine, ghosting over the claps of her bra in a silent promise of things to come.

Pulling away just enough to speak, Clarke mumbles, “I know that you’re only trying to distract me so that we don’t have to watch the movie.”

“Are you complaining?” Lexa asks, unsnapping Clarke’s bra and flinging it off to the side as her other hand dips down and cups Clarke’s centre through the denim of her jeans.

“God, no,” Clarke gasps breathily, rocking her hips into Lexa’s fingers, seeking more pressure than the teasing touches Lexa is willing to give her. “I want you so much.”

Lexa moves both hands to Clarke’s hips and pretends to push Clarke off her as she looks around the room with a frown on her face and says, “Weren’t we about to watch a movie?”

Clarke slaps Lexa’s arm lightly, rolling her eyes in her impatience.

“Don’t be an ass.”

Lexa thinks about teasing Clarke for a little while longer, but as appealing as that might be, so is having Clarke riding her fingers, and hearing the sounds that Clarke makes when she’s approaching an orgasm, and watching Clarke fall apart in her lap, and Lexa just can’t find within her the patience to wait for any of those things when the power to have them right now is in her hands.

Literally.

Lexa squeezes Clarke’s hips once, then drops her hands to the front of Clarke’s jeans, where she flicks open the button with expert fingers and then makes to push the obstructive material down Clarke’s legs. They have to adjust their positions a little bit to make it work, but Clarke is more than eager enough to help Lexa remove the garment, tossing it aside with as little care as Lexa proffered Clarke’s bra when she removed that barely a minute ago.

With Clarke’s jeans now gone, Lexa’s hands rest on Clarke’s upper thighs, where the skin is satiny smooth and ablaze with the heat of the moment, not daring to dip inwards yet as she asks, “Can I touch you?”

Clarke rolls her eyes so hard that it probably changes the direction of the wind, then reaches for one of Lexa’s hands, clasping her fingers around Lexa’s slim wrist and guiding towards her lace-clad centre.

“You don’t have to ask.”

Lexa applies the barest amount of pressure through the material of Clarke’s underwear, ignoring the fingers wrapped around her wrist that try to coax a more definite kind of movement out of her. Lexa is content to keep the touch light, reminding Clarke that she is there without applying the regularity or the definition of movement that will start to give Clarke what she desperately needs.

“Lexa,” whines Clarke.

Lexa doesn’t comply immediately. Instead, she sends one hand up to the back of Clarke’s neck and pulls her mouth down for a kiss. It’s open-mouthed and a little sloppy, but it’s still perfect for the moment. Perfect, because it distracts Clarke enough for Lexa to be able to reposition her hand and for it to elicit a gasp of surprise when her fingers dip beneath lace and into the wetness that awaits beneath.

“Wow.”

Lexa is very rarely a talker in bed. Even her own orgasms are usually silent in their intensity, and she often finds herself far too embarrassed to attempt any kind of dirty talk when getting Clarke off, particularly because she feels inadequate compared to Clarke, who is so good at being vocal when the roles are reversed. But there comes around the odd occasion, once in a blue moon, where Lexa’s confidence spikes and she finds the words to reduce Clarke to even more of a mess.

The rarity of such an occasion just makes the effect on Clarke even more devastating.

“Such a good girl,” she tells Clarke, as her fingers push through folds that are dizzyingly wet. “You’re soaked, and all for me.”

Clarke’s reaction is predictable and instant. Lexa barely even has to touch Clarke because her words are enough to wickedly tease. Clarke’s breath is laboured, her eyelids heavy with lust, and the buck of her hips, seeking contact that Lexa doesn’t want to give her just yet, is messy and desperate.

It creates a wonderful circle – the more Lexa teases, the more desperate Clarke gets for Lexa to touch her properly, and the more desperate Clarke gets, the more Lexa wants to just keep teasing.

“Lexa, please.”

Lexa can’t resist, not when Clarke looks so beautiful when she’s this needy. Moving her free hand to cup a flushed breast, where the stiff peak of a nipple brushes against the soft skin of Lexa’s palm in a way that has Clarke gasping, Lexa uses her other hand to start giving Clarke a bit more pressure. Her fingers are soaked and she rubs slippery circles around Clarke’s clit, dipping lower every few rotations to tease between Clarke’s folds nearer to her opening.

“Do you want…?” Lexa starts to ask.

“Yes,” Clarke answers, before Lexa can even finish getting the question out. “Give me everything.”

It’s so hard for Lexa to deny Clarke anything, not when she’s inviting her over for an evening of watching movies from Lexa’s least favourite genre, but especially not when she looks like this – mostly naked, eyes closed, hair ruffled, and her sticky arousal dripping all over Lexa’s fingers. So Lexa doesn’t deny her, she slides her fingers lower and slips one inside her girlfriend.

This position, Clarke sitting in Lexa’s lap, makes it very easy for Clarke to take exactly what she needs, and Lexa is grateful for it because her own brain has gone into overdrive. She’s not even the one being touched, not yet, but she may as well be because she gets lost in her surroundings, overwhelmed by how good Clarke feels above, by how much she is aching between her own legs, and she can do very little more than keep her fingers where Clarke needs them and let her do the work.

Clarke moves her hips, rocking up and down on Lexa’s fingers rhythmically. Lexa can only try to hold on, squeezing Clarke’s breast with her other hand and curling her fingers every time they plunge deep inside Clarke’s dripping centre.

Fucking Clarke is like riding a rollercoaster without any seat restraints. It’s the single most exhilarating thing in the world, terrifying in its dizziness, but it gets Lexa’s blood pumping, gets her adrenaline surging through her body like nothing else.

There’s something surging through Clarke’s body too. Lexa can feel the first ripples of it around her fingers. Clarke’s breath gets shallower, her body becomes more rigid, her movements become more frantic, and all Lexa can do is try to remain present for it all. She keeps the movements of her fingers consistent, thrusting when Clarke can’t anymore, curling them so that the pads of her fingertips reach that spot deep inside Clarke that drives her wild, pushing past the ache that starts in her wrist because this is about more than Lexa’s pain. It’s about making this feel good for Clarke.

And then, with a beautiful cry that echoes through the dark living room, Clarke crumbles.

Lexa holds Clarke tight through it, keeping her fingers steady and pressing her lips to the warm skin of Clarke’s shoulder. And, because Lexa is weak and sappy and terribly gay, she whispers words of comfort into Clarke’s ear, telling her how beautiful she is and how much she loves her and other such sweet words of adoration.

Clarke is beautiful when she comes. Well, she’s always beautiful, in Lexa’s slightly biased opinion, but especially in times like this one. Her mouth is open, her eyes squeezed shut, and she lets out these soft little mewls of pleasure as the tremors ripple through her body. She shakes in Lexa’s arms, clenching around the two fingers that are still buried inside her, letting the pleasure take over her body.

All too soon, Clarke’s orgasm ends.

She collapses on top of Lexa, sweaty but sated, and nuzzles her face into the crook of Lexa’s neck, her leg draped over Lexa’s hip and her hand tangled in Lexa’s hair.

“You’re in so much trouble when I get my breath back,” Clarke mumbles into Lexa’s jaw.

Lexa knows that it’s supposed to be a threat, but with promises like that, she can’t really do anything but clench her thighs together and grin into Clarke’s shoulder at the prospect of what is to come.

10 People on What Their Runner's High Really Feels Like

You don’t have to be an avid runner to be familiar with the urban legend-esque ‘runner’s high’ — aka the phenomenon of being hit with a ton of endorphins and feeling really good during a workout. Even the name sounds mystical, as if only top runners can achieve this kind of drug-like euphoria.

There’s no definitive proof that it truly exists, but some small studies have found that intense endurance exercise does increase pleasure receptor activity in the brain. But since each individual experiences endorphins differently, it’s safer to assume that the runner’s high is more anecdotal than scientifically proven.

This begs the question: What does the runner’s high really feel like then?

Sure, we can feel ecstatic and victorious when we conquer the massive hill we used to struggle up — and yes, it feels triumphant to push yourself to the point of beating your personal best. But are these proud runner moments the fabled ‘runner’s high’ people gush about?

Unfortunately, we don’t know just yet. (Science, we’re waiting on you!) But for now, we can see what other runners have to say about this phenomenon and how their own bodies experience it.

Here are 10 people on what their unique runner’s highs feel like. Prepare yourself as they’re probably going to make you want to strap on your sneaks.

Neel Somani, college student

“When I get a runner's high, there's typically a light throbbing in my head. I get goosebumps and I start to feel warm, even if it's cold outside. If I were to compare it to another feeling, it's kind of like being mildly drunk. It typically doesn't last very long for me, maybe about 5 to 10 minutes, and that's assuming that I'm continuing to exert myself. During a runner's high, I think my head feels the best, if that makes sense. It feels a little bit like getting a scalp massage.”

Nita Sweeney, author

“At the risk of embarrassing myself, I'll say that runner's high feels a bit like the afterglow of sex. There's that rush like being in love. When runner's high hits, my skin tingles and warm, positive sensations flood my body, especially in my chest and throat, but the feelings spread through my belly and down my arms and legs too. The pinnacle high lasts only a few moments but the afterglow lasts most of the day. It's so pronounced that if I'm in a bad mood or depressed, my husband will ask, "Are you going for a run today?" He's seen firsthand how a run can transform me.”

Christopher Duburcq, winemaker and triathlete

“It could be like when you were cold and wet outside and then you get inside a warm interior. All of a sudden you feel very strong and comfortable. It is a freshness sensation not linked to any other pleasure such as a good meal, a tasty wine, or a kiss. You feel as if only your body is giving you this good feeling!”

Walter Meyer, writer and speaker

“At first the runner's high was like being a graceful animal, an impala or puma at full speed, but eventually it transcended that and it felt like my feet left the ground and I became a bird in flight. There is no feeling quite like a runner's high, which is why I miss it so much. Any drug or alcohol high also causes some confusion or grogginess and there is none of that with a runner's high. It is just a rush with no downside.”

Pat Sherman, personal trainer

“A runner's high is like nothing else I've ever experienced. I also weight train, do yoga, I've taught group exercise classes — none compare to the feeling I get after a run. It's a sense of calm really. A feeling that no matter how crazy life gets, a good run always makes it better. I've solved many problems on a run, relieved anxiety on a run, run away from stress on a run.”

Amanda Brooks, marathon runner and author

“Runner's high is like stepping outside in shorts and feeling the sun warm your whole body after a week stuck inside due to a polar vortex. You stand a little straighter, throw your arms out to soak it all in, and feel a smile spreading from head to toe.”

Latoya Shauntay Snell, athlete

“Sometimes I hear nothing but the sound of my own breath when I’m in the thick of it. If there was a genre to match this sound, it would probably be some sort of West Coast rap/hip-hop like Tupac or a Marilyn Manson alternative/goth metal.”

Meghan Stevenson, running coach

“What I notice the most is that my whole body feels connected, like all the muscles are cooperating and working together to produce a run. Since we usually isolate what feels bad in our bodies (tight, weak, fat, etc.) and [we don’t] concentrate on what feels good (loose, strong, lean, etc.) the runner's high gives me a unique, holistic sense of my body moving in space.”

Tahlia Butler, freelancer

“The animal I would be... it would have to be a cross between a cheetah and a lion. The cheetah represents the agility and speed, while the lion would represent the power and grace.”

Melissa Jannuzzi, PR account executive

“It’s the perfect balance between an immense surge in energy that also allows my body and mind to completely relax. My muscles are stressed to the point where they have no choice but to release pain and allow my body to be calm. At the same time, my mind is at ease because I’ve just accomplished one of the hardest tasks of my week. My runner’s high seems to make me see the world a little bit differently. If I run before I head into the city for work, that feeling of accomplishment lasts with me until nighttime when I finally get to bed. It gives me a sense of confidence that you really can’t get early in the morning unless you decide to push yourself.”

It’s a sense of calm really. A feeling that no matter how crazy life gets, a good run always makes it better. I’ve solved many problems on a run, relieved anxiety on a run, run away from stress on a run.”

Amanda Brooks, marathon runner and author

“Runner’s high is like stepping outside in shorts and feeling the sun warm your whole body after a week stuck inside due to a polar vortex. You stand a little straighter, throw your arms out to soak it all in, and feel a smile spreading from head to toe.”

Latoya Shauntay Snell, athlete

“Sometimes I hear nothing but the sound of my own breath when I’m in the thick of it. If there was a genre to match this sound, it would probably be some sort of West Coast rap/hip-hop like Tupac or a Marilyn Manson alternative/goth metal.”

Meghan Stevenson, running coach

“What I notice the most is that my whole body feels connected, like all the muscles are cooperating and working together to produce a run. Since we usually isolate what feels bad in our bodies (tight, weak, fat, etc.) and [we don’t] concentrate on what feels good (loose, strong, lean, etc.) the runner’s high gives me a unique, holistic sense of my body moving in space.”

Tahlia Butler, freelancer

“The animal I would be… it would have to be a cross between a cheetah and a lion. The cheetah represents the agility and speed, while the lion would represent the power and grace.”

Melissa Jannuzzi, PR account executive

“It’s the perfect balance between an immense surge in energy that also allows my body and mind to completely relax. My muscles are stressed to the point where they have no choice but to release pain and allow my body to be calm. At the same time, my mind is at ease because I’ve just accomplished one of the hardest tasks of my week. My runner’s high seems to make me see the world a little bit differently. If I run before I head into the city for work, that feeling of accomplishment lasts with me until nighttime when I finally get to bed. It gives me a sense of confidence that you really can’t get early in the morning unless you decide to push yourself.”
