Nothing To See

--

They’d been running a while, the thrum of adrenaline blending and merging with the effects of the armbands, their breathing (minimal as their breaths were) a rhythmic tandem. Sam hadn't felt this free since their impromptu vacation after destroying the Replicators on Thor's ship. Were they even running? The impact of feet on concrete said yes, her lungs said no. It was all so easy. The clarity of it all filled her senses. Glancing to her right, the Colonel right there, smiling back, struck her with undeniable truth - he was locked firmly in her heart.

Still, however good her reactions were, some things could be missed in the midst of recognition. Deciding to run backwards at full pelt, and goading her Colonel to chase her, she bounced heavily against the wire fence around the mountain. That wouldn't have been so bad, but the force made her rebound into him.

Hard.

So hard they tumbled to the floor like the Tiffany song, giddy mirth and unyielding earth and-- Ho boy, that better not be his gun. The roll stopped, Sam on her back, the Colonel halfway laid between her legs and crushing her hips (and hadn't she dreamt of that exact type of moment a mere thousand times before?), his (strong) arms holding him up, caging her head between his hands.

“Jeez Carter, run much?” he asked, laughing. They both laughed hard until Sam shifted and-- “That’s not--” His eyes rolled shut as Sam rolled her hips. Her name dropped from his lips like a sigh, his forehead coming to rest gently on hers. Quick as lightning, before rational thought had a chance to intercede, she brushed her lips against his. Breathing in his harsh pants, he almost caught her off guard, manoeuvring them so she was on top.

And then, sweet relief, they were kissing again. All Sam could do was kiss and breathe and become sensation, all centred on his lips on hers, his body thrumming between her legs. Her mind short circuited when his fingers tangled in her hair, pulling gently on the short strands at her nape. This was all she needed in life - him, surrounding her.

A snapping branch brought her back to the present. They might be superhuman with of the armbands, but they were still Air Force officers, and this was definitely behaviour unbecoming. “Shit,” she heard the Colonel (Jack) whisper as she sat up and analysed the dark horizon, trying to spot whoever it was out there. With cat-like grace, she got to her feet, and crept towards the noise, the Colonel two steps behind.

There. Holding up her hand, she indicated it was a lone person. On they went, quiet hunters when--

“Jack? Sam?”

“Daniel?” the Colonel hissed. To anyone else, this conversation would be inaudible. To them, with their armbands, it felt like yelling across football fields.

“Where did you--?” Daniel looked them both over and Sam squashed the desire to squirm. Understanding washed over him, and the need to squirm increased tenfold. “I saw nothing.”

“Nothing to see,” said Sam in return. They all nodded slowly. Hitching a thumb over her shoulder she asked, “Should we…?”

More nodding. As Daniel muttered about, “What happened to nobody gets left behind?” Sam caught the Co-- Jack's eye. He winked, smiled a very knowing smile (Sam could feel the blush extending to her hairline as she grinned in return), and followed Daniel to the fence.

These armbands were far too much fun just to sit around the mountain. Maybe she could suggest a race to his cabin instead?

I'm a little behind in my shipments because I've been getting so little sleep + waiting for my shipping material restock to come in (but they came today) I'll be shipping every current order tomorrow when I've had some sleep, thank you for the patience if you've been waiting this week!

Spoiler: I didn't go to sleep. But I will shortly after this post

>You asked Darkleer for one more light. A particular reason, you said, that you would be happy to explain to him. A torture for the both of you-- to wait to see each other any amount was always too long-- but you needed the timing to be just right.

>It has to be a Sunday night, now. And then, you will have him Monday, too.

>Stupidly, selfishly, you hope this does what you want it to. You are not trying to replace memories, or trade one love for another, or ignore the happiness you had so many sweeps ago. But your heart is broken, and this might help with the pain for the time being. And in this, you promised you'd tell him what is on your mind, what is weighing so heavy on your heart. The promise is always to be honest. And so, you will tell him about everything swirling in your mind. You miss being a mother. You want children again. You were so happy doing legislaceration again. You can't ever go back to it. You are more frightened of your fate than you've ever been before. You miss Rufioh. You miss Theodore. You feel lost. You wish that none of these issues were present. You wish that you could be better for him. You're trying to be better.

>It's not fair. You think this often, when you ask him for comfort, when you make your desire known, when you try to catch his attention… One day, this will even out. One day. But for now, you take, and you take, and you take. You know that bringing him red velvet cookies baked with care, and brandy, and blue hydrangeas will not balance anything, but it certainly can't hurt. A peace offering, a token of your affections. All you can offer him, all you can do for him, you will.

>Before you go, you sit at your vanity, curling your hair, painting your lips red, making yourself as beautiful as possible. But this time, you dress yourself in blue.

>You don't wait for a message, choosing to send yourself along as soon as you're ready, and when you see him, when you find his warm gaze with your own, when you realise his arms are outstretched for you to fall into, you set everything on the ground before you run to him, arms flung around him as you bury your face into his chest.

>This is part of the promise to be honest. You love him, you love him, you love him, and you will tell him that a million times over. You will hold him close until neither of you can stand it. He will feel your heart, your love, for the rest of your lives. Every light, you think. Doesn't matter which one. He will have love in all of them.

Spent the first 2 hours of my 30s watching my best friend play Return of the Obra Dinn while half asleep in the world's comfiest chair. Let that be an omen for the coming decade, whatever it may be.

also like. i don't mind anti - violence or pacifist stories. hell, i like quite a few. it's just that ... i really think bloodline executed its messages very poorly, and at times, frustrating and unrealistic. i just felt they could've done it better is all.

like in most WELL written pacifist stories (see superhero comics, the last airbender, trigun) - the pacifist gets their viewpoint challenged by other characters or the world around them. they have to wonder if their pacifism or lenience on others is the right choice. but the problem with bloodline just felt like everyone disapproved of heavy violence or murder. like the only character who didn't was the Obvious Bad Guy (see heihachi). when really, there should've been characters that challenged jun or xiaoyu. maybe hwoarang, for example, should've not cared that jin was bashing heihachi's face in. maybe hwoarang should've actively supported that because it's what he feels heihachi deserves, rather than going "jin, no!" it wouldn't make hwoarang a bad guy perse (also he was a street thug remember that lmao) - i mean, in the shows i've exampled, the other avatars thought aang should kill the firelord. in trigun, wolfwood was always butting heads with vash over not killing. this isn't to just give the main character conflict, but to also challenge the audience's viewpoint, to give the audience something to THINK about (good media should make you think) and come to your own conclusion.

but when it feels like every character, including the ones who feel like they should have a different stance from jun - is just ready to lecture jin - even when it comes to fighting his own abusers (seriously, heihachi wasn't the only time this happened. jun lectured jin for even smiling at his bullies (ABUSERS!! THEY WERE PHYSICALLY ABUSING HIM!!) getting knocked on his butt... it just feels like both the main character and the audience is getting lectured, especially over something that might not even be the Best Thing (again, is it really wrong to be happy that an abuser gets small taste of his medicine? I mean, yes - the whole beating them to a pulp may lead you down a road of solving everything with violence and gradually becoming worse. but you can't even celebrate them getting hurt after they've spent weeks hurting you? you can't feel glee that maybe this means they'll stop hurting you? it's just really weird imo. there's also just the debate concerning if some immoral people really deserve death and if it's okay to be the ones to kill them)

Update soon(ish)

Chapter 5 reached 10,000 words today!! Woop!! Still a few thousand to go before the first draft is completed, but I'm really happy with my progress so far! I'm really loving this chapter and I know y'all will enjoy it ^_^

[lill-cute-fluffy-devil]

@justwilfee this post gave me the idea to draw these! I hope you like them!

She looking at her paw. X3 (I'm terrible at drawing horns)

Clearly confused. XD.

I drew them with their clothes, but also what you think what cat they would be Wilfee. I drew these on my chromebook, then put them on to Google docs, then screenshot them, then edited out the extras, so sorry for bad quality. Credit to @justwilfee for the original characters Natalie and Barney.
