"Alway's so quick with the charm, aren't you?" Trysta gave him a small smile, quickly moving over towards him. Reaching up a hand, she placed it lightly on his cheek and ran her thumb across it.

"You don't need to worry about me. I'm fine." Moving her hand down to his shoulder, she used it for balance as she got up on her tip-toes and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"Besides, I can kick some ass if need be."

[thelittlestrcse]

Trysta watched his face nervously, checking his reaction before her smile started to grow along with his. It was almost infectious, that smile. Everytime his lips turned upwards, hers couldn't help but follow.

She'd been terrifed to tell him, worried that it would ruin their friendship and she would have no one left in Alexandria to talk to, or even spend time with. Then she'd have to go back to the Kingdom, where she was basically an outlier now for even talking to Negan, since some of the folks there still had it out for him even though he was truly trying his best.

Honestly, she was shocked at how quickly her feelings for him had grown but he was just so likable, he had a personality that just made him real charming when he wanted to be.

"Oh, you do huh? You just wanted to make me confess first, so you could be all smug about it, hm?" Her eyes lit up as she joked, nudging him gently. "But what exactly did you have in mind? You clearly put some thought into this, since you seemed to know pretty well what I was gonna say."

His smile grew as she spoke those last few sentences. HAPPY AS SHIT would have been an honest to God understatement to describe him in that moment.

They'd come such a long way from that first meeting in his cell, and really? It was pretty damn hard to believe someone like her would harbor romantic feelings for a guy like him.

He wasn't exactly what most people would describe as a ' good man ', not by ANY means-- even though he really was trying to be. And if he was being honest? Negan liked her from day one, but there were about a million reasons he believed bringing it up would be a bad idea.

❝ Well, isn't that just convenient as hell? ❞ his gaze fell to her lips for a very quick moment before going on, ❝ I like you too. A god damned hell of a lot. I'm thinkin' maybe we should do somethin' about it. ❞

@wiredcapability asked 🎲 & rolled a 36 (A kiss to the shoulder)

Sneaking up behind Negan was easier than expected, considering who he used to be. Trysta crept closer and closer to him until she was right behind him, reaching around to loosely wrap her arms around his neck and plant a soft kiss on his shoulder.

"Y'know, you should be more conscious of your surroundings. Someone could get the jump on you." She grinned at him, planting her chin against his shoulder. "Wouldn't want that now, would we?"

“Yep. No other reason. I betcha feel special now.” Shaking her head with a laugh, she leaned back and watched the fire for a moment. Trysta’s head nodded in agreement as she listened to Negan talk until he finished.

Scooting closer to him, she hummed, as though she were deep in thought. “No beating around the bush with you, is there?”

Trysta twirled a few strands of hair around her finger, taking another pause to make sure her words came out properly. “I didn’t want to say anything, because I didn’t want to ruin the friendship we had. It’s not like I’ve been super subtle, but.. you never said anythin’ and I wasn’t going to be the first one to bring it up.”

As she turned her head to give him a small smile, she shrugged her shoulders. “But if you’re tryin’ to ask me in a roundabout way, then yea. I do like ya’. More than you probably realize.”

Negan listened to her as she spoke, more than a bit surprised by some of her words. Of course, he had a feeling he was part of the reason she was still there, but to actually hear her say out loud he was the ONLY reason?

Well, that added a whole new level to the confidence he needed to ask the next question on his mind.

❝ God damn. No other reason, huh? ❞ A deep chuckle left him as he tossed another small wooden plank into the fire.

❝ Lemme ask you somethin' else, Trys. You and me? Safe to say we've become pretty damn close over the past few years. Hell, if we're bein' honest, you're probably one of the only people on this planet that can stand my ass, and I'm glad as shit for it, but--

I can't help but wonder if maybe there's somethin' more between us. ❞

"Y'know, you don't have to flatter me too. All you had to say was that you wanted me to say, and I woulda said yes to their offer."

Trysta leaned over and nudged him lightly with her shoulder. "You can throw me a one man house party when I fully move in, it'll be fun." She rubbed the back of her neck nervously, her eyes flicking between him and the fire.

"I'm glad you want me to stay though. I probably would've said no otherwise. No other reason I'd stay."

She kicked a foot out and tossed some dust into the fire before tucking both her legs in to her chest. "Honestly, I wasn't even sure how to bring it up to you but you beat me to it in the end."

Negan's smile grew as she finished speaking. He was excited at the thought of her staying in Alexandria permanently. No longer having to wait months on end for her visits was a win.

And her being offered a proper house within Alexandria's walls was a good thing too, but Negan knew it would be quite some time before the settlement was fully repaired after the damage done by the Whisperers.

Hell, even Negan himself hadn't been offered a home within Alexandria. It was understandable, of course, ( even though he was PROMISED otherwise ) that they'd placed him in that abandoned cottage on the outskirts, but he would always remain hopeful his banishment would be lifted.

❝ Opposed? Couldn't be me, darlin'. I think you stayin'? Would be one of the most BADASS things to happen around here. ❞

Trysta's eyes twinkled with mirth as she looked upon Sandor, taking a step back to give him the space he so clearly wanted. "I'm not after anything, ser. An urge just came upon me and I had to act upon it."

Truthfully, she didn't know what had come upon her. She'd seen him standing there, all tall and imposing, and she decided then and there that he deserved a peck on the cheek, for all his hard work. "Don't be so crass, your scars don't frighten me. You just happened to be facing in the opposite direction, and so what choice did I have but to kiss the other side, hm?"

She hadn't expected such a drastic response however, although she shouldn't have been too surprised. It wasn't too unladylike of her, or at least she hadn't thought so. Clearly he thought otherwise, or perhaps he just didn't want a kiss from her. "If I've offended you in some way, I do apologize. Truly."

@thelittlestrcse : ❛ 21 . a kiss on the cheek . / trysta & sandor

𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄-𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐓𝐇 𝐏𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄𝐒 of his being. it's all shock when he feels her lips upon his cheeks. he , some pet of the crown , and her — some sacred FLOWER in its gardens. the two only mix sorely.

sandor jerks back , half in preservation of himself and half for her. perhaps he might have the last name of some lord and perhaps he might be some candidate of marriage and yet for all the years of his youth and into his twenties , he has not felt the pressure of any such prodding. marrying into the sliver of casterly rock gold his family might have some stake in has never tempted the likes of a woman so far before. though he supposes the present isn't too soon for such an action. and yet the future twin of the crown might be too far a reach. and his existence remains an enigma. what is he here for?

jaw clenches. some measure too forward. too unexplained. nothing he would let past like the breeze. nothing so simple. ❝ managed to kiss the good cheek , did you? ❞ afraid of the roughness , perhaps. too fond of beauty , perhaps. she is out of her element. ❝ don't know what you're after , girl. ❞

[thelittlestrcse]

Trysta's eyes widened, her smile almost frozen on her face. She hadn't thought he would notice, truthfully. Going back to the Kingdom was the last thing on her mind lately, and they'd offered her a permanent place in Alexandria if she'd wanted it. She hadn't agreed to it yet, but she was thinking about it for sure, especially when she had someone there that she enjoyed seeing.

"I never took you for so much of an overthinker, but I guess I learn somethin' new everyday." Pausing, she struggled for a moment to think of how to word her next sentence. "Well, see. The thing is.. I enjoy spending time in Alexandria, and I.. like spending time with you, especially." Trysta mumbled out the last bit, cheeks starting to turn red.

"And I haven't decided yet but they've offered me a proper house if I want it, and I'm really thinkin' about staying on a more.. permanent basis?" Looking back at the fire for a moment, eyes watching as it sparked up for a moment before going back to the calm little fire they'd had going. "Would you be opposed to that? If I were to stay?"

Negan knew what he wanted to ask, but it was difficult to find the right words. He went silent for a few long moments, ceasing his attention on the burning wood when he was finally satisfied with the size of the fire.

❝ Well-- it's been a little over two weeks that you've been in Alexandria. Now, don't get me wrong here, darlin', I am glad as shit you've stayed as long as you have, but usually? You take off after a couple of days.

So-- you know me, I'm dramatic as shit, right? I think and I think and I overthink, and hell-- I can't help but wonder what's got little Miss Trys stayin' for so long this time. ❞

[thelittlestrcse]

"Oh please, you know I could never be tired of you. I know we spend a lotta time together but we have fun, and that's the important thing." Tossing a couple loose sticks onto the fire, she turned her head to look at him.

"Somethin' nagging at you? Well, that sounds serious. I'm definitely curious now though, so ask away."

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE SEASON ONE SENTENCE STARTERS (PART ONE)

episodes: s01e01 - s01e04

❛ There are stories out there that need to be told. ❜

❛ Mortality beats a heavy drum. ❜

❛ Things didn't end well the last time, so forgive me if I'm a little nervous. ❜

❛ Do you not know your value? Do you suffer these indignities for some larger purpose? ❜

❛ Let the tale seduce you. Just as I was seduced. ❜

❛ Stop! Don't do that shit here! ❜

❛ Dishonesty breeds dishonesty. ❜

❛ It ain't easy, the work I do. Nothing but broken souls around me, and the ones that ain't broke are greedy. ❜

❛ The Earth's a savage garden. ❜

❛ How do you do that? Get in my head like that. ❜

❛ I had no room for feelings like these in my life. ❜

❛ I have seen death over and over and over and over again. It's boring. ❜

❛ Easy prey for the discerning predator. ❜

❛ And rather than fix it like a man should, I run like a coward. I run to the bottle. I run to the grift. I run to bad beds. ❜

❛ I laid down with the Devil. And he has roots in me, all his spindly roots in me, and I can't think nothin' anymore but his voice and his words! ❜

❛ I'm not the Devil. You were wrong about that. But I can give you death. ❜

❛ What rage you must feel as you choke on your sorrow. ❜

❛ I can swap this life of shame, swap it out for a dark gift and a power you can't begin to imagine. You just have to ask me for it. ❜

❛ For the first time in my life, I was seen. ❜

❛ Be my companion. Be all the beautiful things you are, and be them without apology. For all eternity. ❜

❛ Memory is a monster. We forget, it doesn't. ❜

❛ We live off the blood of the living. Lap up the blood of the deceased and it'll suck you right down into death, along with your victim. ❜

❛ You have the power to subdue anyone you want, but sometimes restraint is your most powerful weapon. ❜

❛ This is your home now. ❜

❛ The sun gives life to everything but us. ❜

❛ The life of a vampire has its challenges and its rewards... ❜

❛ Do you contemplate the life of the rabbit before you cut it? Or do you simply cut?❜

❛ These are nightmares I'm having, not dreams. ❜

❛ One might think the ability to read a mind a most useful gift, but, in reality, it's quite mundane. ❜

❛ Every human thought boils down to three things..."I want food", "I want sex", "I want to go home". ❜

❛ You chase after phantoms of your former self. I'll break you of it. ❜

❛ You hide from me this long again, I'll hunt you down and slap you sideways. ❜

❛ I had powers now and decades of rage to process, and it was both random and unfortunate, the man picked that night to dabble in fuckery. ❜

❛ You are a library of confusion. ❜

❛ I don't like sleeping angry. ❜

❛ For the record, if disrespect was done to you, I would have killed him myself. ❜

❛ If you love your family, as I know you do, spare them all the pain that you are causing them. ❜

❛ I ain't never gon' have a family of my own, am I? No sons, no daughters. ❜

❛ I'm your family. ❜

❛ I've been neglectful of our romance. ❜

❛ He was my murderer, my mentor, my lover, and my maker… all of those things at once. ❜

❛ There is one thing about being a vampire that I most fear above all else... and that is loneliness. You can't imagine the emptiness, a void stretching out for decades at a time. ❜

❛ We must stay together and take precaution and never part. ❜

❛ Well, I don't say that you have to enjoy it! Kill them swiftly if you have to, but do it! Embrace what you are! You are a killer! ❜

❛ Come now, love, let's get you to the couch to die. ❜

❛ If you'd listen to me, if you finally submit to your nature, you will be filled, with all the life you can hold. ❜

❛ You will see death in all its beauty, life as it is only known at the very point of the death. You alone, of all creatures, can see death with that impunity. ❜

❛ You alone, under the rising moon, can strike like the hand of God. ❜

❛ Do you ever think that we, that's to say, our kind...were put on Earth for a larger purpose? ❜

❛ I put you on this earth. Your purpose is to enjoy yourself. ❜

❛ I desire blood as much as you do. But I wonder, should we be more selective? ❜

❛ Hunting is pure instinct. Reason is a set of leg irons. ❜

❛ Every one of them is capable of abomination, even the ones worthy of admiration. ❜

❛ Don't mind the shaking. I've snapped his spine. It's merely his nerves spasming. ❜

❛ I don't wanna kill people anymore. ❜

❛ So much of that year was a blur. And you can imagine what time's inevitable hammer does to the minute details. ❜

❛ This is the odyssey of recollection. ❜

❛ Oh, come now. I don't bite. ❜

❛ Aren't I enough? ❜

❛ We'll be together ten thousand nights, a hundred thousand.  ❜

❛ What we're doing is hard. Anything that wards off the dungs of the everlasting road we walk. ❜

❛ There. I said it. We're communicating so much better now, no? ❜

❛ You ever think about those old days when we were kids? ❜

❛ You wanna come around, you come around when people are awake. ❜

❛ Well, I thought we could have an orgy. You can fuck them, and I can eat them. ❜

❛ What can I say? I'm a lot. I'm not perfect. ❜

❛ I heard your hearts dancing! ❜

❛ You watched the whole thing like some creeper! ❜

❛ This is not a life! ❜

❛ Am I from the Devil? Is my very nature that of the Devil? ❜

❛ Take a black man in America, make him a vampire, fuck with that vampire, and see what comes of it. ❜

❛ You're here to threaten me, I suppose. ❜

❛ Why is your heart beatin' so fast? ❜

❛ Did you not smile when he begged? Did you not feel pleasure as you carved him up? ❜

❛ You did what you did because it gave you pleasure. ❜

❛ We should make this our anniversary. ❜

❛ That's why you and me ain't never gon' work. That's why you're always gonna be alone. ❜

❛ You were ready to abandon our home. Now you want a third. ❜

❛ I'm not human no more, am I? ❜

❛ I'll teach you, but not if we're going to have family secrets. ❜

❛ We're a family? ❜

❛ You're not a girl. You're a devil. ❜

❛ Hungry? You just ate a man twice your size. You can't possibly be… ❜

❛ I'm so hungry. I think I'm gon' die. Is that how vampires die? From starvation? ❜

❛ If you made me and you made [name], who made you? ❜

❛ When I'm tired, I'm not so kind. ❜

❛ Fighting sounds funny in French. ❜

❛ A girl vampire needs her own space if she's gonna find herself in this no-day world. ❜

❛ He got secrets. He don't give good answers to questions, sits on the truth like it's his chair or somethin'. ❜

❛ I thought we weren't supposed to keep secrets. ❜

❛ Sometimes, old people don't like talkin' much about the past. ❜

❛ For a killing machine, I kinda like her. ❜

❛ You wouldn't believe how time flies when there's people to eat and money to spend. ❜

❛ We do like mortals do. We fight, we eat, we laugh, we sleep, we love. ❜

❛ Never seen a dead one look so peaceful. You know what her last words were? ❜

❛ Wakes were invented in places where it snows. ❜

❛ You've been too sheltered, my belladonnic beauty. ❜

❛ You must be most ferocious, hmm? ❜

❛ There's something back there, something evil. ❜

❛ Yeah, I'm surprised your fancy parents let you out at night. ❜

❛ I finally got a few secrets of my own. ❜

❛ You're an angel. ❜

❛ This is why we never get close to mortals. Because sooner or later, they end up dead. ❜

❛ I had a daughter. ❜

❛ That means there's so much more fun out there to have. I'm just getting started.❜

[thelittlestrcse]

"Flatterer." Walking over towards him, Trysta felt her face heat up and a tinge of red appeared on her cheeks. "You sure know how to make a girl feel good about herself, as always."

Eyeing him up and down, she made a small humming noise under her breath. "But really, I swear I see you chopping wood more often than the others, and it's gotta be because of the way you look doin' it. No other explanation."

She knew he really didn't need his ego boosted anymore than normal, but she just couldn't help herself. She'd managed to keep her mouth shut more often than not when she caught her eyes lingering too long but this time, the compliments just kept spilling out.

Continued from here with @thelittlestrcse

Negan stopped what he was doing to turn and look at her, admittedly a bit shocked that she was being so open with her compliments on his appearance.

His ego certainly didn't need any help when it came to his looks, but he'd gladly take her compliments.

A smile found him as he set the axe aside to give her his full attention, ❝ Well, I am just FLATTERED as shit that you think so, darlin'. And can I just say you look god damn gorgeous as always? ❞

[thelittlestrcse]

[ PLAY ] for one muse to play with / brush / braid the other’s hair

Humming lightly Trysta ran her fingers through Michelle's hair, starting to section it off into a braid. "So what's new in the world of Michelle, hm? Anything exciting?"

She hadn't seen Michelle in awhile, although they'd been keeping in touch via text but sometimes it was nice to talk face-to-face with someone.

"Nothing new with me, unfortunately. Just the same old, same old. Working, of course. Holing up in my apartment so that I don't have to socialize."
