@elpida | continued meme | Richard & Eden
Tumblr media
He was lost there within her eyes, in the meadow of sorrow and conflicting feelings. Large fingers flexed over her soft skin and Richard wanted nothing more than to press closer, breathe her in, taste her lips. But this moment held more than just desire, there was turmoil and Richard's chest seized his heart in a death grip as Eden struggled against whatever was going on in her mind and her heart. Richie never had been very quiet about how he felt, what his heart wanted, what he wanted. An island somewhere with the person he cared about, it had always been some pipe dream of a boy that wanted nothing to do with the rules and responsibilities that were his to inherit, the leadership of a pack, a people that he could never truly avoid despite his best efforts. But if he could have that dream with anyone, Richard felt it would be with Eden.
His hand was seconds from slipping into her hair, drawing her flush to him and capturing her lips with his own but Eden moved away, a heartbreaking action that made Richard make a noise of the same sentiment. She was fighting this, fighting what they felt and had between them, all the unexplored emotions and opportunities all because of her fucking family and Richard couldn't help the flash of anger that burned in his veins at that. No, he couldn't let her push him away, he couldn't be away from her. His head shook and the tall man instinctively reached out for her again but stopped himself, fingers curling into a fist and dropping to his side as he just watched her, blue eyes hooded with a sadness that etched across his furrowed features.
All at once he was slammed with emotions, they'd been swirling in his gut and teasing at the back of his mind but Eden's words hit him like arrows, stabbing deep into his chest to root there where he wanted her to be. He shifted, unclenching his fist and roughly shoving it through his curly hair, exhaling a soft growl and glancing away from her for only a second, not wanting Eden to think his ire was at all directed towards her. Whoever made her feel so confined, so trapped and unworthy of love would feel his ire some day but for now... he couldn't do anything but speak his heart like some fool ready to fall into the pits of a trap willingly if it meant being near to her.
"I don't care Eden, I don't care about any of that," Richard said, tone low, sad and laced with a yearning he couldn't help, he stayed where he was, not wanting to bridge the distance she made between them without her consent but desiring it more and more each passing second, he couldn't stand seeing her cry. "I don't give a shit about your dad or whatever he's convinced you he could do to me, to us," he dropped his head a little, tilting it to the side and catching her green gaze, getting lost there for a few breaths as his brow creased with care and emotion. "I care about you and only you." And it was true, not even his pack meant as much to him as Eden did, the little wolf had gotten so deep into his mind, body and soul, Richard would fight to keep her there.
He took a moment, a breath filling his lungs and exhaling through an opened mouth, pondering his next words and knowing they might be reckless, impulsive, but that was what love did to a person, right? Made them do whatever they could to keep it alive. He broke his efforts in maintaining distance, taking hold of her own clenched hand this time and taking it in both of his. His thumbs caressed at her han and he shook his head, knowing that dream of his wasn't the answer to either of their problems, least of all the one's Eden had expressed but he was going to voice it anyway. "We could run away, sail off to some island, just you and me, leave everyone behind and just... be happy, together." He said softly, hopefully, again his head shook and he sighed, glancing down at where he held her hand in his.
Richard wished he could take it all away like that, just get on his boat with this beautiful woman and leave everything behind. All his responsibilities, the legendary shoes of his Uncle he was supposed to fill and the pack he was supposed to lead. Especially leaving behind her father and family, the people that made her feel less than what she should have. But there was no easy and quick solution to this. Whatever they chose, they had to do it together because Richard would be damned if he gave Eden up. Not now, not ever.
"I can't lose you, Eden," he added after a few moments of silence, pulling her hand to put it against his chest where his heart thundered as if it would spring out of his chest, past his ribs, right into her palm, truly where it belonged anyway. He brushed his thumb over her hand again, wanting to pull her even closer now that he'd made contact once more. "Darling, I understand you're trying to protect me but I would face the wrath of Hades himself if it meant being with you. I won't give up, not even if you try to push me away." He could protect them both, though, his own safety meant far less than Eden's, Richard could only imagine what her father would do and had already done to her to instill such fear in the woman.

After having quit his job, Wesley decided to pursue a passion he had since his teenage years, it hadn't picked up as nicely as he thought it would, he was still stuck playing guitar and singing in a nearby park. He had saved money years ago so he wasn't worried about money, not yet but he knew he couldn't play in a park forever.
As he was wrapping up for the day, he was starving and had been eyeing a nearby shop that people had been coming in and out very often, he felt like he was missing out. So, after thanking the small group of people that had gathered around him and putting his guitar back in its case, he made his way towards the shop just nearly a few minutes before closing time.
Tumblr media
"Hey, I'm so sorry, I know you're 'bout to close but... do you still have something left from today? I'm starvin'."

Two days ago, one of my dearest besties, @elpida , celebrated her birthday — and there’s no way I could let the week pass without doing something special for her. Using a bit of my Photoshop magic, I wanted to create a little something with the ships she’s gifted me through our writing and the incredible stories we’ve brought to life together. 💖 I’m so grateful for the creativity we share and the beautiful worlds we’ve built — happy birthday again, love! ❤️
My baby, I love you — and you know it goes far beyond this platform. You can always count on me, for anything, anytime. I’m so incredibly grateful to have you, not just as a writing partner, but as a bestie in every sense of the word. I hope your birthday was everything you dreamed of and more, because you truly deserve the best. ❤️❤️❤️

"When did you get this?" + reverse - because i'm not able to control myself eden&asher
he had claimed his own scars were stories of a past he wanted to leave behind, yet the man wanted to know each story related to the woman. hypocritical of him? absolutely, but asher couldn't help it. the little Q & A he'd endured days earlier had left him curious - resulting in him watching eden a touch closer than usual. nothing obvious, but perhaps his gaze lingered a bit longer - raking over any revealed swaths of skin and sending eris' dirty looks when the woman caught his quiet perusal.
wandering around relatively blind proved difficult when none of them could see upcoming obstacles and often left him carefully helping her and the children over or around them while eris and silas were left to fend for themselves. that day, he'd had to lift her and fingers had grazed a particular mark that had left his mind whirling. it was only when they stopped for the night that he worked up the courage to actually say anything. the kids were asleep - silas and eris were elsewhere, and hesitantly, he'd reached out to graze the spot. "when did you get this?" the question is a parrot of what she'd asked him, but turn about was fairplay, wasn't it?

@elpida asked: “they’re gonna catch us—” - from eden. (again, sue me.) || meme
"Let them, they might learn a thing or two," Alexander said with a growl in his voice and a mischievous grin on his features. After Eden confessed her feelings and in turn he told her about his own, when neither of them were working, Xander was all over her; making sure she knew how hooked he was on her. Tonight wasn't the exception.
The assassin hadn't been to a party in years, often found himself at a pub having drinks with a couple of friends or staying at home with Auggie and Romeo and watching a rugby game or film. But here he was now... hidden in some supply closet because he couldn't take his eyes off of Eden throughout the whole evening. And she had done her own teasing before too.
With her back facing him, Xander hiked up her skirt to above her hips and after pushing her panties aside, he unzipped his jeans to free his erection. Licking the pad of his thumb he teased her entrance, "look at you, you've been wantin' me just as much, sweetheart..." He murmured then grasped his hardened cock and slowly pushed his tip between her soaked lips until he was fully sheathed within her. "How does that feel, hm?" His voice came out hoarse.

Bellamy had been on an early morning run, trying to clear his head of the thoughts that had kept him up all night. He thought of grabbing a coffee, which led him to thinking about the bakery, which trailed to thinking of Eden. It had been a few weeks since they managed to clear out the remaining damage, but he had yet to stop by while off-duty. He saw the closed sign, but caught sight of her through the window. He would've knocked had she not already been walking to let him in. Bellamy barely waited for the door to open before he spoke. "I broke up with Jenna..." The words came tumbling out—the confession long overdue. It was for the better, honestly. Looking back on it now, they were both seeking comfort rather than something long-term. It didn't help that Jenna also wasn't Eden.

It's not that Xander wasn't aware of the weight of his question, of what the consequences it could bring for them if the topic was brought up. It was a question he wanted an answer to because when they first talked about it, when Xander confessed, Eden told him she couldn't forgive him. And she has every right not to.
Her voice was different as she spoke, it was usually filled with a sweetness and tenderness when she talked to him but it couldn't be found right that moment. As Eden talked, he nodded his head slowly, his features softening when she talked about her brother. He wanted to interrupt her, he wanted to say that he would never hurt her... but he had in the past. And it broke his heart. It still broke his heart knowing he broke hers first, knowing he had broken it way before they met.
Then she's voicing that fear again, of something happening to him and that's when he gently reached for her hand, then took a careful step towards her, pushing a loose strand of her dark hair behind her ear, "you're not like your father, Eden." A hand remained on her features, his thumb gently tracing her cheek, "if you were, you would've dealt with me months ago when I told you what I did." Now her father... if her father found out it would be a different story.
Tumblr media
"Every night I go to bed thinking about what I did. About what I took from you and I wish I could go back. I wish I could do something to take away the pain I caused you, that I still cause you." He remembers well that job, it was one of the first he did and felt he had to prove himself, he was being selfish so he didn't leave room for critical thinking as he does now. "I'm not able to bring Ben back but I will do everything in my power and more, to ensure that you're safe, Eden. He was your protector, your safe person. I want to be that for you. Can I keep being that for you?"

Tylio felt a sense of dread when she said that she could see him - that meant she was nearby. Maybe she really did go into that alleyway. Maybe— but his anxious thoughts were interrupted when he realized that he could hear her getting up. He just couldn't see her. He squinted, still looking around for her, trying to find where she was hiding. He was looking so hard that he almost flinched when he felt her suddenly hugging him from behind. The startled feeling quickly turned into intense relief when he heard her voice. She was fine. She wasn't hurt. He didn't realize until that moment just how tense he had been about this whole thing. He turned around, wrapping his arms around her, hugging her. Just for a moment, because he wanted to get her out of here as fast as possible. Whoever followed her might still be around. "Of course", he nodded, grabbing her hand, a relieved smile now gracing his features as he looked at her face. She looked like she had been crying a bit but she was otherwise unscathed. Part of him had been worried to get here too late and find her with some kind of injury. "Let's go, my car is only two streets away", he told her, pulling her along with him as he broke into a fast paced stroll. He waited until they were back in his car with the doors closed, before he finally felt a bit calmer and asked: "Are you alright? Do you want me to drive you home, or is there somewhere else you want to go?" He assumed she would want to go home but maybe she was worried about being followed there too. "Eden...have you been followed before? Do you know who could've done this? Sorry, it's a lot of questions...I think...I just got worried. I'm glad you're safe."
Tumblr media
"I think I can see you." Eden eventually spoke, she'd been silent for far too long, just the sound of her breaths, despite the fear that had her wavering, almost panting. "I think-" she whispered, and about two minutes later Eden came up from behind Tylio and turned him by the shoulders, only to throw her arms around him so tightly. She hadn't gone down that dark, dingy alleyway, she'd hidden and she'd hidden damn well. "I thought- when they and and then-" she couldn't even get her words out quick enough to explain all the things going round her head. Everything was jumbled, messy, that was the alcohol in her not able to make sense of everything but she knew that.. he was safe, that she could call and he'd always answer, when it really mattered.
Tumblr media
"Can we leave? Please- Ty, can we just get out of here like, right now.." her eyes were pleading just as much as her voice. Her heels were around her wrist, she'd always take the shoes off first when she'd had a couple of drinks. Tears were brimming her eyes, it'd been a long day, followed by a night she hadn't asked for. "I don't want to be here."

( our modern au! rhea & elias )
"you really didn't have to walk me home," she repeats again, dark hues flickering up to the man at her side. he'd stood at the bar hours earlier to place a drink order for himself and others ⸻ people rhea could only assume were friends or colleagues, but after they'd been passed over to him, they'd been delivered to their intended hands before he'd plopped back onto a stool in front of her. it was on the quieter side that night, so rhea hadn't had any issue entertaining him, assuming he'd grow bored after a while and wander off when she expressed nothing but friendly banter. but conversation had flowed so readily between them, that rhea had grown frustrated when she'd been drawn away to serve other customers. and when the bar eventually cleared out and closing rolled around, she'd been surprised he was still there.
tugging her jacket closer around her shoulders, rhea takes a quick glance at her phone screen, a noise of contemplation leaves her. "there's a little bakery right around the corner from my building. owner is sweet as pie and she makes the best damn pastries i've ever had. good coffee too. she should be opening up soon ⸻ let me buy you breakfast?" a very early breakfast, mind you, but breakfast all the same.

kassandra had very little patience outside of her trusted circle of confidants . part of her had wished she could return to the tucked away cottage she shared with eden and avoid the outside realms , free of worries and her father's looming fears that she could suffer the same fate of her late mother ⸺͏͏ hence , the annoyance when she's at the edge of the realm's castle with hands folded beneath her breasts . rich , pale blue fabrics standing contrast to silk . . . silver gold braided strands , milky and freckled skin . "if you have came to keep a watchful eye on behalf of my father , you can tell him that his daughter has yet to runaway."

"When did you get this?" - eden&asher ehehe prepare yourself
between the turning weather and the lengthy days spent blind folded as they traveled in search of a more permanent home, it was rare any of the others saw him without a handful of layers on. they'd lucked out recently - finding a house with a working well and woodstove. it had been enough to convince eris and asher to stick around - to scavenge the nearby area and give everyone else a much needed rest.
with his clothes having been scrubbed clean in the bathtub and left to hang to dry in front of the fireplace, the man had sat on the bed that evening in nothing but a pair of sweats, remaining swaths of tarnished skin on display. getting comfortable on the mattress, he'd rolled to face eden - as if expecting the question now that she could properly see each puckered or raised mark.
even without looking, he can identify the scar - knows how it looks, how it was caused and why. fingers twitch at his side - a residual reaction from a man who once would have told another to leave well enough alone. but this is eden - and while there might once have been shame in admitting the truth, now.... now he almost wants to unburden his sins. speak them aloud and let them float away. "i wasn't a good man, before." a fact he's admitted to her previously. "got in with the wrong people young to work off the debt my dad got us into. needed a way to take care of my sister. first time my boss sent me out solo i got this. someone owed him money and was attempting to skip town. was told i needed to get payment one way or another." cash, assets or a life. "found him easy enough. easy to pick out skittish people. but he was nervous - desperate. tried to fight me, pulled a knife. have a few others scars from the swipes he tried," fingers rise to tap against a handful - all small little slivers of silver compared to the puckered mess eden had originally pointed out. "went for a hit i wasn't expecting and he stabbed me. ended up finishing the job a bit more messily than i should've. boss wasn't pleased - told me i could patch myself up. was the first time i'd ever done it for something more serious."
Tumblr media
he had worse - not that he'd admit such a thing - not if she didn't ask. "'m covered in 'em. nothin' to worry about now. just stories of a past i'm not too proud of."
