"I saw you win," Rafael began taking another bite of food, "Before we competed together, you were graceful then." Had he told her that before? She was inspiring. There had been no reason for her to be nice to the other girls. "You are a good sport."

Carmen laughed and stuck her tongue at him. "Obviously I'm not going to take it easy on anyone," she said, "But off the dance floor, I want to be a good sport." Their reputation weren't just built on their dances and level of skill; how they treated the other competitors--fellow kids--mattered, too. "I know you won't have a problem with that," she said. "You're nice to everyone."

Better Than Remembered [Quinton/Raisa]

@thestoriesincoffeestains

He'd been to this bar a million times, and a few times on comedy night. But once he saw Raisa's first set a few weeks ago he might have timed it to come back and see if she was actually as good as he remembered, or if he'd just been really drunk.

She was good. Even better than he remembered actually.

As soon as she finished her set Quinton slid away from his group of friends and over to the bar where he asked the bartender to put the first two drinks Raisa ordered on his tab.

His wingman followed him over to the bar and leaned over, helping keep an eye out as they started to chat. Even if she didn't grab a drink, he'd give it a shot next time. "I don't think I've laughed this hard in a long time," he admitted with a grin, sipping on his own drink.

Last First [Danny/Raisa]

Danny spritzed himself with cologne and then stood back to check himself out one more time in the mirror, combing his fingers through his hair until it was just right. He was dressed in a black short-sleeved button down, the top two buttons undone, and a comfortable pair of jeans. He'd told Raisa to dress as though they'd be sitting on the ground (they wouldn't, but close enough), and he was curious to see what outfit she'd come up with. "Okay, that's as good as it's going to get for me," he announced as he stepped into the bedroom where Raz was presumably still getting dressed. "Almost ready to go?" | @thestoriesincoffeestains

Privacy Invasion {Padmé||Anakin}

@thestoriesincoffeestains continued from [x]

Anakin nodded taking a slow deep breath to help his patience, something he always needed to work on. Their whole situation was frustrating no matter how he looked at it. Any time they had a second to themselves they were so quickly ripped apart for the greater good. “A few days,” he agreed. “I'll talk to Master Windu, maybe I can teach a few fighting methods to some of the older padawans. Then maybe you need to go somewhere for some politics and request the protection of the Jedi?" he asked with a knowing smirk and a tilt of the head.

bliss [khadijah/amani]

khadijah couldn't believe this really happened. she was married, to a woman. they'd done both the civil service and then they'd read the qur'an, and exchanged vows in the presence of witnesses - their friends and family members that had wanted to attend. it had been small and quaint, but it had been perfect. they had chosen to have a nice dinner at a restaurant afterward, but nothing too elaborate. this day was about their love and commitment to each other, not about pomp and fuss.

what khadijah had looked forward to most was their first touch, their first kiss, taking off her hijab in front of her now wife. Khadijah had decided not to show her hair around women who weren't in her family because she was attracted to them and she wanted to do what any other woman would do around potential marriage partners. did everyone feel it made sense? absolutely not, but she was glad she had done it as it would make tonight even more special.

she walked into her home, well - their now shared home and closed the door behind them, finally shutting out the world. "so... here we are." she said, a little nervous but very excited. // @thestoriesincoffeestains

[aquamanandfriends]

She wasn't trying to fight him, she just had the urge to touch him back and kept slipping loose. "Mmm scared I'll scratch too hard--" Mallory tried to ask but inhaled sharply as she felt him slide his fingers inside of her. Her lips parted and she gasped, chin up as he looked down at her. Their eyes locked in that moment and she swallowed hard.

Naveen reached up again, capturing one of her hands to pin it over her head a second time. With the other hand, he slid his fingers between her folds, lifting his head high enough to lock eyes with Mallory, daring her to misbehave a second time.

Morning Modifications [Vik/Vagabonds]

@thestoriesincoffeestains continued from [ x ]

[ text - lex ]: he won't say it but Blake's distracted so just pick up that slack [ text - lex ]: way too many cops around, stay safe

Blake laughed, shook his head and revved his engine in return, "I never let anyone win, ya gotta earn that shit." He called out over the motor as he lined up next to Vik then leaned down over the handlebars.

Kit kept bouncing on the balls of her feet eager to see how Vik's bike would stand up against Blake. Slim moved just in front of the two racers, lifted a hand, looked to the finish line and gave Swirv a nod then counted them down. As soon as his arm dropped the two were off in a cloud of dust.

"Oh fuck--" Clutch waved the dirt away from his face but didn't look away. It was a short race and the two were neck and neck the whole way but from their end they couldn't see who crossed the line first. In a rush, all three bikers hopped on their bikes and rode down to the gas station to meet up with Swirv and review the playback.

"That was so damn tight!" Clutch called out with a laugh as he parked his bike and jumped off quickly towering over Swirv's shoulder. Blake and Vik watched intently, Blake brushed a hand through his white blond hair.

"Shit that was close..." Blake mumbled and nudged Vik with his helmet at his side, the smallest smirk on his lips. "You're fuckin' good," he mumbled.

"Did she beat you?" Kit asked pushing her way in with Slim next to her. "It's like a hair but she totally fucking beat you! Oh my god!" Kit laughed and reached out to tap Vik's arm. "No fuckin' way!"

"You can't see that," Blake countered and shoved Kit teasingly, his lips still quirked up in the smallest of smirks. "It's a tie at best." He turned to Swirv, "Right?"

Morning Moments [Toby/Blaire]

@thestoriesincoffeestains

Toby's eyes slid opened early, around seven in the morning, and he had to fight the feeling that he was running late. It took him a minute to realize he not only had the day off but he had Blaire laying next to him. The man smiled and brushed two finger over her her side, grazing her silky pajamas until he reached her waistband. He'd promised to wake her up, and he intended to deliver. Toby slid lower, under the sheets. He pulled her shirt up a little and pressed kisses over her stomach then down by her hips.

Parallel [Raf/Carmen]

@thestoriesincoffeestains

"Hey," Rafael declared softly when he noticed Carmen still around outside of school. He moved over to the bench and sat next to her. "Dancing queen, I thought you left already," she'd said goodbye and slipped out. Raf had hung back with the rest of the cast at least half an hour longer. Now they were the last two left. "Do you need a ride?" he wondered but there was more there. "Or we can just sit." They'd been rehearsing for a few weeks now and things were starting to really come together.

Seaside Drive | Danny & Raisa

Danny zipped up his bag and set it on the bed, going over a mental checklist one more time before he called it good. It was the Sunday after they'd discovered Raisa's pregnancy, and the two of them were about to head out on their weekend trip up the coast, just as soon as Raisa finished packing. "Almost ready?" he called to her as he perched on the edge of the mattress. He'd gotten off work at the bar early (thanks to Benny's generosity), but the sunlight was going to fade fast and he wanted to get going. "We'll be back Tuesday, you know," he teased. "No need to pack your whole wardrobe." Plus they'd be traveling by bike, so there was limited space for luggage. | @thestoriesincoffeestains

Good Enough

| muse: Mathew ‘Thew’ O’Brien | open to: anyone | sexuality: heterosexual | bicurious | suggested connections: friend, troubling making friend, roommate, crush

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean,” he sighed, they’d gone through a whole bottle of whiskey and were about to crack open the next. “I just can’t do it anymore you know, my dad just, he just wants me to be a man so that’s what I’m doing you know?” He huffed, “Nothing, nothing is ever going to be good enough and I just need to like, assess it–accept it.”

Taking a Beat [Avin/Inez]

@thestoriesincoffeestains continued from [x]

"Super real," he laughed, "I couldn't make that up if I tried." Though Avin was a creative, he didn't see it that way, not aways. "Or we could go with Troll 2, the only troll movie. There is no Troll 1, not to be confused with the animated kids movie Trolls," he snickered.

Resting Branches [Xiulan/Dyson]

@thestoriesincoffeestains moved from [ x ]

Dy chuckled, "You won't lose me just have to put up with me drilling and building and probably messing up and starting all over," he grinned and squeezed her hand as they began to make their way down a trail to the water. "The first thing I'm doing is making sure there's a good bed in there."

For Me

| muse: Dashel 'Dash' Trenton | open to: anyone | sexuality: pansexual | suggested connections: co-worker, friend, drinking buddy, friend of the family, crush, lover, fwb, stranger

Dash shook his head, "I wish..." he pressed his tongue against his cheek, biting his tongue a little before he said something a little too vulnerable. "I just wish he'd see me for who I am not who he wants me to be, you know?" Dash sipped his drink. Talking about his dad always hurt. "I might not be exactly what he wants but I've done things, I've reached, achieved ya know? I'm not gonna let him down but he won't even hear me out."

Make It Right

| muse: Victor Von Doom | open to: canons or oc’s | made with legacy but can repost with beta | sexuality: pansexual | suggested connections: ex, will they won’t they, someone he went to school with, friend of a friend, maybe they are dating his enemy 

Victor hadn’t indented to make the event awkward for them, he didn’t know they’d be there. It was hard to catch himself staring but he did his best. Finally, he couldn’t stand it anymore and approached them when they were alone. “I know that I lost my chance, but I can’t...” he sighed. “I can’t get you out of my head and I keep trying to think how I can make this right. Tell me. Whatever it is, I’ll do it.”
