@worldly-diversity whispered: 🎉💋 || Gar

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴇɢɪɴɴɪɴɢ, jason was somehow curious as to why gar had whisked him off to his room to give him another smooch. he was still so high on serotonin and the excitement from not only the new year beginning, but also from the kiss that he had given earlier. when he was pinned up against the wall, however, with gar's lips all over his, he remembered ; he was worried about being judged by the others, so he preferred to be kissed in private. as much as he ENJOYED the smooch he had gotten earlier, it was nice to be able to be with each other in private, away from the prying eyes and pricked ears of everyone else in the tower. alone, they could be a lot more handsy with each other, and a lot more dramatic in their shared affections.

his hands cupped gar's cheeks, enjoying the way he was pushed up against the wall, his skin becoming hot and flushed with excitement no more than a few moments later. his tongue swiped against gar's, one of his hands that was wrapped around his shoulders to pull him close swinging out to rather roughly shut the door with a slam, the newfound privacy giving the two of them more freedom to explore each other's bodies, and maybe needs. his heart POUNDED in his ears, his cheeks a dark red as he kept gar's body pulled close to his, only pushing him away slightly to yank off his tank top, his jacket having slid to the floor moments earlier. he grabbed one of gar's hands and placed it on his chest, wanting the other to feel his heartbeat, darkened hazel eyes meeting green as lust and desire washed over him.

@worldly-diversity whispered: 🌿 || Gar

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ʜᴇ ɢᴇɴᴜɪɴᴇʟʏ ᴡᴀꜱɴ'ᴛ sure if this was a prank, because he seriously had to wonder why he was running into the kids all day, especially like this. he knew dick was the serious type, but when he was in the mood and not stressed out, he could be QUITE the prankster. he somehow found himself pulled in by looking at gar's lips. they weren't dry, they weren't taught ... they were relaxed, and looking kind of ... lonely, if that even made sense. he licked his lips awkwardly before leaning forward to press them against gar's for about half a second before briskly pulling away.

@ghxstofycu whispered: a kiss that leaves lipstick stains .

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ʜᴇ ʟᴏᴠᴇᴅ ᴡʜᴇɴ emma acted all needy like this, the feeling of her hands on his cheeks, her lips against his skin. she had gotten all dolled up for their evening out at a new italian restaurant downtown, which included putting on a new deep red lipstick she had bought a few days earlier. with the way she kissed him, he could feel the STICKINESS of the makeup and the way it left residual marks on his skin. he'd worry about that later, though ; all that mattered to him was the beautiful young woman in the red dress that matched her lipstick, freely giving him all the so desperately needed affection she could muster.

[jaesntdd]

@ghxstofycu whispered: “ look, i don’t know what happened to you. and i don’t need you to tell me, okay? i don’t… i just want you to know that i’m here. i got you. no matter what. and if you need some space, then… then i can leave. just tell me what you need, okay? “

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ɪᴛ ᴡᴀꜱ ꜱᴏ like her to be so caring, so open to talk to him ... except, he didn't really know how to talk about this. when it came to things that he was afraid of, it was so easy for him to casually make fun of himself, to pass off his fears as silly little things that got in the way all the time, instead of the things that WEIGHED him down by his shoulders, things that he never paid attention to. but this tug in his heart, in his feet, whenever he was up on platforms, when he was in places that made him see the ground from very high up ... that was much more than a fear. remembering the sensations of the air all around him as he fell, the stories flashing by his vision, lights dancing behind his eyes, waiting for his demise by hitting the ground ... it was enough to get him to completely shut down, his generally happy and energetic disposition shutting off as if he were a robot. staring out the window certainly didn't help ; he could see those same visions FLOODING back, but no matter how many times he tried to peel his gaze away from the piece of glass that saved him from plummeting to the ground below, he just couldn't. he felt trapped.

❝ ... i-i'm okay, ❞ he responded absentmindedly, his hand propping his chin up at the desk, hazel hues flicking up and down in an attempt to slow down the vision of the stories FLASHING past him. it was as if he were falling, over and over and over again ... nothing could break him out. not even his lover's touch, her gentleness, her words. nothing.

he couldn't be cured, no matter how hard he tried.

@ghxstofycu whispered: ❛  if there weren’t so many people watching us, i’d already be on my knees in front of you.  ❜

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« … ᴏʜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ? ᴡᴀꜱ that so? damn, he never thought she could be so needy for him ... of course, in a way they'd never really been able to explore with each other. hopefully not until very soon. he smirked, hazel eyes meeting blue as his fingers traced along the bottom of her chin, his gaze flicking back and forth to watch the other diner patrons putter about and tend to their own business. they just got here, but he wouldn't lie, getting FRISKY with emma in the privacy of his apartment sounded a lot more fun. ❝ ... well, who says we gotta stick around here, huh? we can go back to my place, turn out the lights, lock the door ... and let the fun begin. how's that sound, baby? 'cause trust me, i'll make you feel so good ... show you things that you'll never be able to forget about. ❞

@ghxstofycu whispered: [DESK] - For receiver to find sender asleep at their desk after working nonstop

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ʜᴇ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ʜᴀᴠᴇ sworn he heard emma come into his apartment about an hour or so ago ; he wanted to check up with her and ask her if she had any suggestions for the song he was writing for his upcoming EP, a second part to the debut one he released in the last year. he would have asked her sooner, but being involved in a video game with gar certainly didn't help with his memory. he had only been looking over it for fifteen minutes, SWITCHING over to it after gar decided to hang up and go to bed since he had to be up early the next morning, but when he knocked on the door to the studio that they often hung out in together and where she'd go when he was busy with something else in the apartment, he found her curled up, head on the desk right next to the turntables and mixers. he stifled an amused chuckle, shaking his head and placing the papers with his draft lyrics at the very edge of the table, writing a little note at the bottom of the page.

read over this before you come see me. i'll be here when you wake. - jason ♡

@ghxstofycu whispered: 🙏 — our muses lace fingers together

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ɪᴛ ᴡᴀꜱ ᴀ delightful discovery in finding out just how comforting emma's presence was to him after a long day of work. this was probably his busiest month regarding music production, recording, and what his agency had required him to submit for his next publishing proposal. he had just released a new single and was in the process of being compensated for his previous production, writing, and guitar work with the titans, so he found he could get pretty tired when comparing this amount of work to the stuff he usually did. he wanted this new year to be much more productive and successful than the last ; he had just released his debut EP in the last nine months, and thanks to the titans and his familial connections with dick, his business life wasn't TERRIBLY difficult to maintain right from the start, so he figured he'd had it easy in comparison to other rising stars and musicians. even while he wanted to make this kind of work a part of his regular schedule this year, he couldn't ignore just how exhausted it made him, and the way emma's fingers curled over his helped him relax enough to offer her a smile, even craning his head up to press a few gentle kisses along the underside of her jaw. ❝ ... thanks for always knowing how to cheer me up, baby ... ❞

@ghxstofycu whispered: 🎉💋

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ᴇᴠᴇʀ ꜱɪɴᴄᴇ ʜɪꜱ timer dinged at 11:55pm, he had been staring at the clock, watching it count down on the big screen of the TV in his room. he was almost fairly certain that emma had been planning the same thing as him, for the closer the clock got to striking countdown, the more he could feel her hand pressing up against the side of his, the closer he noticed her SLIDING over towards him on the mattress. ten seconds left to go, and they dramatically began to count down, their voices growing in volume. the second it struck midnight, the two of them happily shouted out ❝ happy new year! ❞

jason was quick to wrap his arms around emma, pulling her down on top of him on the mattress, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss, one that still had hints of a fun-loving nature, excitement, and, of course, the flavor of sparkling apple juice. he ran his fingers through her hair when she pulled away, a FLIRTATIOUS yet genuine twinkle in his eye. ❝ let's make this the best year yet. and i have a feeling it's gonna be that way, especially since i'll have you. ❞

[jaesntdd]

@worldly-diversity whispered: As the countdown ended and the fireworks were shot into the sky, Gar gently took Jason's chin and guided him into a sweet but passionate deep kiss. A minute later Rachel made her presence known and took over the kiss with a smirk of her own, matching Gar's earlier passion but with a bit more attitude, if you will. Happy new year, Jason.

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ᴘᴀʀᴛ ᴏꜰ ʜɪᴍ wished he'd have been a lot more surprised by the kisses that seemed to be so freely thrown his way. surprises could be pretty nice, he thought ; they tended to provide him a lot more emotional support and comfort than most people bothered to give him throughout his life. they were a nice DISTRACTION, many often providing him enough serotonin to get him through experiences he deemed painful, boring, or simply unwanted. and the kiss from gar? it was genuinely something he didn't expect, even after their moments in private together.

part of him wished he could share this moment privately with the one he may have started to consider a lover behind closed doors, but there was little to nothing private about being kissed like that, especially around others. normally he'd have behaved distant and quite a bit visibly SHOCKED on the outside when such moments occurred, but the rush of passion and desire that hit him in the head like a brick when gar kissed him was enough to distract him, and in fact got him craving more.

then came rachel to satisfy that desire, even if he admittedly didn't know her as well as gar or had as great of a connection with her. she tasted sweet, not as musky or as light-hearted as gar, the innocence much more apparent in the flavors that danced across his tongue. there was somewhat of an ATTITUDE behind the way she kissed him, the pressure against his lips apparent right from the start, enhanced by the popping sound it made when she peeled herself away. it was a pleasant surprise, getting not one but two kisses on this holiday. he didn't have time to be distant or annoyed ; he was much too busy with the elation at the prospect of being kissed by the two people he'd found himself spending so much time with as of late.

he hoped this new year would end up being the perfect time for the three of them to start over with one another, to put their differences behind themselves and grow closer not just as teammates, but as friends. and maybe lovers.

and with that, jason raised his glass to the roof, pulling his friends close to his sides to share the newfound joy and elation of this new beginning. ❝ happy new year! ❞

@ghxstofycu whispered: What is your muse’s earliest memory?

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ʜᴇ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀꜱ ᴛʜᴇ small, messy living room of his mother's apartment, boxes strewn about and bottles of wine stacking up along all of the surfaces. he remembers his father entering the room, spending some time with him, reading to him, tossing a few toys at and with him for probably a maximum of thirty minutes before speaking to his mother, wihch quickly turned into a flurry of curse words before his father was promptly kicked out. he remembers the flickers of light from the small TV that he'd fixate on, CHEWING on the stuffed animals he'd find in the boxes as his mother puttered about in the kitchen, peruzing around for another bottle of zinfandel before yanking the stuffed animal out of jason's mouth, scolding him for getting into things he shouldn't have, wails and sobs of protest leaving the toddler's mouth. he had no idea that his mother's habits and his father's absence would turn his life completely upside down all those years later.

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ʜᴇ ꜰɪɢᴜʀᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ this day would come, especially after finding out just how much he enjoyed touching and teasing her. whether that be calming strokes, gentle nudges, or even playful tickles along a sensitive spot, touching emma to get a rise out of her was an enjoyable pasttime for him. so when she decided to turn the tides on him, her fingers PRODDING him incessantly over his sides and stomach, he knew he had no chance against her counterattack, squealing in laughter and doubling over in a desperate attempt to protect himself. ❝ o-okay — okay, S-STOP ... ! ❞ he wheezed, feeling tears beginning to gather in the corners of his eyes.

@worldly-diversity whispered: She's just going to push him down onto the couch and straddle his lap. If he wanted to play tough, maybe all she needed to do to shut him up was distract him with something better~ || Rachel

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ᴀꜰᴛᴇʀ ᴀʟʟ ʜɪꜱ years of training with batman, he was so incredibly certain that he'd be able to manage being manhandled like this. he'd managed to shimmy his way out of several things before, but when a dark cloud of what looked like smoke was coming straight at him to pin him against the chair, there was nothing he could do to fight back against that. it truly locked him in place, kept him from fighting back, kept him from doing ANYTHING to save himself as rachel straddled him on the couch. eyes widened and brows furrowed in surprise and shock, the cloud releasing him, but her grip still strong enough to hold him in place. ❝ ... the fuck are you doing?! ❞ he demanded, struggling in her grip. he felt that familiar sensation of fear TRICKLING through him, that same fear that he felt before during training, the one that overwhelmed him enough to cruelly call her a freak before he stalked off in an attempt to cool down. ❝ l-listen, i'm sorry about the training session, i just — i'm not used to your powers okay ... ?! ❞

[jaesntdd]

@ghxstofycu whispered: " everyone else always sees this ridiculously happy, over excited, naive little baby who needs protecting. but... never you. you've always seen the real me. i guess that's what i love the most about you. "

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« … ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ? ꜱᴏᴍᴇʜᴏᴡ ʜᴇ couldn't imagine the rest of the world looking at emma as someone who needs to be protected. she always had this air of quiet STRENGTH about her, someone who always managed to push on and keep going no matter how difficult things in life were for her. he knew she's lost people, and he had too ; over time, he just figured that those losses were only what made the both of them stronger, shielded their kindness and their emotions behind that vault so deep in their hearts to protect themselves from feeling any more hurt if they were to lose anyone else. but even with that, he still didn't see her as someone who needed to be protected, despite her height, despite how playful and kind she could be, even to strangers. ❝ ... you'll always be so strong, so kind, so BEAUTIFUL to me. you don't have to prove anything to me, be anyone you're not when you're with me. i PROMISE you that. i'm with you ... always. ❞ he bent down to look into her eyes as he spoke, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear before pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.

[jaesntdd]

@ghxstofycu whispered: " i'm trying so hard, but... i can't stop myself from falling in love with you. "

»» ──────ஓ๑⚔︎๑ஓ ────── «« ꜰᴀʟʟɪɴɢ ɪɴ ʟᴏᴠᴇ with him ... that was certainly an interesting way to put it, now, wasn't it? he felt his heart race at the words, that rare sensation of comfort and security washing over him, a feeling that he never once imagined the day he'd see. he had a lot to THANK emma for ; she gave him hope, comfort, confidence, not only in himself but in his music ... he didn't know how to thank her for that. but sometimes he wasn't sure if his own mind worked like that, followed the same track that his heart did. it worked in mysterious ways ; it led him down a path of darkness before, an insatiable need for revenge, to get away from all senses of comfort and touch and having someone there for him. he wasn't sure if he was ready for this ... wasn't sure if he was even in touch with his own emotions. and he didn't consider that a positive for either of them. ❝ ... you sure it's ... THAT ... ? ❞ he wondered aloud. he didn't want to potentially hurt her feelings, or even gaslight her, so he figured the best thing to do was to pose a question out into the ether, even if his own heart twisted in on itself as he did so.
