#then reflections by the neighborhood

"Jason." Leo's voice rang through the other side of the telephone, breathless and airy as if he ran for miles and miles until he inserted the quarters, dialed his number, then called.

Jason waved off Nico, pointing to his phone held to his ear, gesturing that he'd catch up once the phone call was to end. Jason shoved his free hand into the pocket of his jacket and leaned against an office building with a smile gracing his face. "You took so long to call, idiot."

Leo laughed, warming a fast beating heart and overran the electricity that surged and powered his body and brain with heat. Even in the cold temperatures of New York, Jason had forgotten all about the icy sensation pricking his nose and cheeks. "I know. The bus got here late and it wouldn't even stop by the booth. It robbed me of my money too, you know? What bullshit is that?"

He huffed out a laugh. "You called in time because I completely forgot to charge my phone before I left the apartment. I would've missed your call." Jason scratched his cheek, lowering his head to glance down at his shoes and tapped the tip of it against the concrete. He cleared his throat, nerves building in his stomach and swallowed. "Are you...are you coming tonight? To Nico's birthday, I mean."

He heard a groan then a faint smack that could only imply Leo slapped his hand onto his forehead. "I'll be there but don't tell him. Gotta have the best gift for last as a surprise and all that. I'll be there, promise. Listen, I gotta get going. Piper should be here with the car in a few minutes-"

"No, yeah, I'll, uh, I'll see you tonight."

They both had said their goodbyes and as Jason glanced at the screen of his phone, it shut off. He watched the loading circle for a few seconds until it went entirely black and he sighed.

He hadn't seen Leo in months, traveling overseas with Annabeth for their studies since the end of summer but he was overwhelmed with anxiety. They called, of course, but hearing the one person he loved for years over the phone was nothing compared to seeing him in person after an annoyingly, agonizingly long while.

Jason placed a hand over his chest, near his heart as he started to walk down the sidewalk to meet Nico and inhaled sharply. He's just a friend, Grace. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Where have you been? Do you know if you're coming back?"

"We were too close to the stars, I never knew somebody like you, somebody,"

"Falling just as hard ; I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody"

"Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, I see my reflection in your eyes."

Batman "I don't like working with others, I don't trust them, and I won't sacrifice Gotham to help out unless it's absolutely dire."

*Has an extensive network of vigilantes in Gotham and elsewhere, is on 85 different Justice League Rosters, would die for half of them*

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man *fighting every hero he ever meets*

"Weird that no-one likes me, don't know what their fucking problem is, I should fight them"

Daily life and every small thing is the gate to the universe ：）

Separated...

Did we believe the long distance relationship would last? Through love, cheese and facetime, could they really power through and finally see each other again? Could they make it to that bright future, one day...?

And the answer is YES BITCHES THEY REUNITED AND BOTH BECAME HEROES

Anyways Dekuyama canon their wedding is next year, everyone is invited, sparkling black tie event in which everyone wears some form of sparkle on their outfit (Aoyama insisted, Izuku couldn't say no)

I'm currently in Batroun, a majority-Christian place in northern Lebanon, and it just occurred to me that it seems to be my first time really settling in a place where time is told through church bells rather than a minaret call to prayer.

[cvsette]

The thing about church is that I would love to go to a Place every Sunday and have the ritual of a group service and hear music and sing with the rest of the attendees and listen to a sermon about a Topic and reflect on how to be a better, kinder, more self-sacrificing person and feel very small in the universe but also feel as though I can do something to help those around me and in the broader community and have volunteer opportunities to do just that. But the thing is I will always feel like an imposter because I can’t make myself believe in God outside of being in a metaphorical foxhole. Anyways who’s down to invent agnostic Episcopalianism

The thing about Halloween (1978) is when you don't watch Halloween (1978) for a few years you forget how good Halloween (1978) actually is
