#odessa goodwin / starter.

closed starter for @angclnumber ft. odessa + slater !

after a couple hours mulling back and forth over a bottle of red wine, odessa realized she couldn’t fight off the temptation and texted her old band manager, seeing if she could score a ticket to tonight's show. it was easy to say she was nostalgic and hopeful for the band’s success, and wanted to wish them well on their first gig without her... but despite the sincere act she effortlessly put on, she wished quite the opposite. the poor band was just collateral damage, though; slater katz was the sole object of her infuriation and the reason she donned her own captain america disguise, throwing on a baseball cap and inconspicuous coat before heading to the venue. settling into the crowd, she’d enjoyed the majority of the show, even feeling slight pangs of guilt and envy as they performed the songs she had once been on stage with them for, singing the words she wrote, seemingly tapping into all of her raw emotions without her even there. they were doing good, and it fucking killed odessa. but even then, amidst the shoving fans who held up signs that she wanted to burn, odessa couldn’t help but fixate on them. it wasn’t until they were nearing the end, the chords to a particular slow song that swelled her heart started playing and odessa met slater’s eyes. it was undeniable and impossible to look away from, heart stopping either in sheer terror or their lingering connection that couldn’t be denied, and odessa instantly knew her cover was blown. it didn't take an idiot to see it reflecting back her way.

open starter for: anyone !

plot: odessa has major commitment issues and has been avoiding defining the relationship.

      “listen,” the girl began, washing her pathetic opening down with the local bar’s _ draft. “it’s not that i’m trying to hide you or anything, i’m not ashamed ..... i just don’t want to subject you to my mother yet. it’s a small town, and if we go super fucking official in a small town, the word will one hundred percent get back to my ma before i could tell her myself. and neither of us know how serious this is going to really get yet.” except they’ve definitely been ‘dating’ long enough for them to have a conversation about being serious, and this is the first time odessa hadn’t actually avoided it completely.
