❛ do you think i’d let anything happen to you? ❜
she hasn't disobeyed her manager before, but when was the last time that she had actually smiled like this? her giddy joy, the molly and sound of pumping bass in her ears, it wars with the growing fear gnawing in her stomach. caine will be so angry, won't he? he--- he just gets so angry when she makes any mistake.
she hadn't even noticed how tightly she was clinging to the other singer's arm until he stops and turns, blocking the rest of the bar from her view and assuring her. "i---" magda's answer sticks in her throat just as her eyes lose themselves in his hazel ones. he's just--- he's so beautiful, always, but especially now. naomi didn't deserve beauty like that. she didn't deserve someone she didn't appreciate. "no. i know i'm safe with you," the singer finally murmurs, struggling not to let her eyes slip to his lips. "but i don't want him to hurt you, too."

❛ i’m replaceable. you’re not. ❜ (gretchen)
he was going to give her an ulcer, or grey hair or--- “you’re not replaceable! don't say that!” and now here she was, in hospital, beside the bed of another oded rockstar. but apollo was her brother, and she could never give up on him ( as if she had ever really given up johnny either. a tear slips past her lashes and she doesn’t bother to wipe it away. she’s just glad he’s finally awake. “you have to eat your jello and drink your water because i need you around, okay? i need you, apollo. i just got you?”

" WAIT RIGHT THERE, " SHE CALLS FOR HIM TO STOP THE MOMENT HIS FEET LEAVE THE LADDER AND HIT THE ROOFTOP, HOLDING UP A TATTOOED FINGER STERNLY. she's reclined in a lawn chair, UNTOUCHED bottle of vodka at her side, her phone in an empty cup at her feet playing dax riggs quietly as she puffs away at the first of a couple blunts she's rolled. she's PRE-GAMED without him, but at this point, she feels she DESERVES it.
" house rules, child, listen —— you get sloppy, handsy, mouthy, or rude, and i'm calling you an UBER, you're waiting on the SIDEWALK. we good? " she clarifies her stance on things and follows it up with a less serious roll of her eyes and a, " have it on GOOD authority that you're not s'posed to BE HERE, anyway. "

always fall asleep when you're waking
i count the hours on my hands
doing the math to the time zone you're at
is an unseen part of the plan

“ you don’t get it, do you? ” she spat in an annoying tone. from all her friends, it was her who always had to solve things -- and now she had been asked to face the other person even though that would get her in trouble. “ you're sitting at our table. we always sit there. ”

❛ ah , ah - don’t touch . ❜ :)
"please." why were his hands so fucking hot? it was like she could feel every single callous from the years of touring when he touched her. they way they traced up her back, shivers following his every touch as she arched her back and whimpered, loud like he always asked of her. apollo had always been able to unlock her every fantasy, make her see stars and beg like she wouldn't have for anyone else. dark eyes flutter open as she grinds down against his knee, lips forming a pout when the friction still isn't enough to push her over.
but she meets his eyes and again, she can only do what he asks of her. it's the way his gaze always affect her, the way there's so much want in them. the way they spark when she whines, when he pushes her farther and farther than she thought she could even stand. magda knows deep down that she really would do anything for him. she huffs. "yes, sir. i'll be good." slowly she drags her hand up from between them, her fingers instead tightening around his shoulders. red nails digging in deep enough that there would be marks the next day, but he always loved that as much as she did, didn't he? "but i am absolutely breaking up with you after this."

━━ ⋄ “can we. can we talk about last night?” she’s very clearly fiddling with her rings, not totally meeting his eyes as she asks.

@tantrcm \\ starter
THE NIGHT IS GOING OFF WITHOUT A HITCH, AND ALMOST AS SOON AS EVIE HOPES SHE HASN'T JINXED IT, SHE SPOTS HIM AT THE BAR. she knew it was bad luck to even THINK how brilliantly the showing of the abstract artist from the greater seattle metropolitan area has gone so far before she's hit the midway point, and the moment she sees that FAMILIAR face, she wonders what she's just conjured up. she hasn't seen apollo in WEEKS, but it seems hardly accidental that he would show up with that LOOK on his face in the middle of a relatively busy friday night.
but she's SURE he sees her when she sees him, and there's nothing to do but stride over with a smile and say HELLO, order a drink. he is her FRIEND after all, even if she knows this next looming conversation might go awkwardly for the girl who's sang the values of never getting in a committed relationship for more than half a decade, before recently beginning to post more pictures of one man in particular to her social medias. a conversation is polite, and it's precisely what she does as she flags down the man behind the makeshift bar, and he NODS, making her what has become her USUAL. now, the hello part.
" hey man, " she greets him with a smile, claiming the stool next to his and crossing her arms on the bar. " someone looks —— MISERABLE, honestly. are we doing robert smith impressions tonight? "

━━ ♦︎ “you’re DANCING WITH THE DEVIL,” jude mutters, his attention seemingly centered on tuning the bass in his lap. strumming once, then twice and feeling satisfied with the sound, though, golden eyes do catch the singer in his uncommonly striking gaze. “the drugs, the booze, that’s ONE THING. but this? this line you keep toeing with our singer? it doesn’t end well. you need to pick someone else.”

( ANGRY SENTENCE STARTERS )
━━ ⋄ “FINE.” the single word is bitten out, days of suppressed frustration in the one single syllable. painted nails dig into her hips as she glares up at apollo. “YOU’RE FUCKING JEALOUS. you’re so fucking jealous that i have someone that loves me who isn’t you.” her jaw clenches, and tawny eyes grow dark as she continues. ( part of her feels like she’ll never love anyone like she loves the boy in front of her. ) “CAINE LOVES ME. fucking get over yourself. go back to naomi and get off my dick.”

━━ ♦︎ oh my god. is that? no way. no fucking way! “you’re apollo deo.” ( obviously, gretch. he knows his name. ) “sorry,” the apology is equally immediate, and the extra long starbucks line only makes this whole interaction MORE EMBARRASSING. “just. my boyfriend was obsessed with you. or, ex-boyfriend. sorry. this is probably really rude, right? you’re trying to get a coffee and now a fan is like. talking your ear off.”

" i understand, i’m a liability. "
“YOU AREN’T.” when did jealousy become the only thing running through her veins? when did envy green take over any gold that used to be in her eyes? she didn’t used to have anything close to a short fuse, but now all it takes is five self-deprecating words from apollo’s mouth to light anger in her chest. “not to me. you fucking know that you aren’t a liability to me, pollo. don’t say that shit to me.”

━━ ⋄ prove it. make me. i dare you. how many times can they crash together like this, teeth nipping at exposed skin, clothing torn with how desperately hands roved until they found what they were looking for. APOLLO WAS RIGHT. they were a mess of sexual tension, but--- there’s so much fucking more there than she can admit to. ( she knew it from the first night she caught his innocent face as he dreamed. if she got to have him, only to lose him? she’d never recover. )
his fingers bite into her neck where his teeth just left, and for a second she must see HEAVEN. cherry lips part, “harder” drawn from them in a hiss that’s more pleasure than pain. you want him to hurt you, don’t you, holly? like everyone else you love. ━━ BUT she knows he won’t, never like this, not when his eyes search hers like she’s the only thing he sees and his lips catch her next moan in a kiss that leaves long legs trembling.
he always catches her before she falls, presses her back against the wall and angles his hips between her legs as she clings to him. and fuck if she doesn’t do everything in her power to press closer, to feel that friction between them she craves each time she watches him with SOMEONE ELSE. his words don’t even startle her, how wanting they sound, but she does catch herself off guard with how desperate her mouth is for him. “you have me, pollo,” holly breathes, a pink tongue darting out to wet red lips as she stares up at him. “take me.”

" I'M NOT MAD AT YOU, APOLLO —— I'M DISAPPOINTED, " SHE CORRECTS HIM, SOUNDING MORE LIKE HER MOTHER THAN SHE CARES TO ADMIT. she isn't angry with the other, just upset in a way that correlates PERFECTLY to her astrological placement as a LEO that apollo failed to heed her advice. " you said no one was going to get HURT. "
