“Well hello pretty bird.” @choaticmusings

The smile that crosses Dinah's face is automatic. Genuine, if a little bit flirty as she turns to face the familiar face of her best friend. "Hey there yourself, handsome." She moves to sling her arms around his neck in a hug she expects him to reciprocate. Almost demands it, really, even as she places a light kiss of greeting on his cheek.

[writelikeyouarerunningoutof]

"It's because I know you," she shoots back, lips twitching with the growing urge to smile. "I'm serious about my ice-cream, Oliver, you know that." Laurel lowers the fork and glances back at her tragically empty freezer. "I was really looking forward to that today." She's pouting. She knows she's pouting, but she can't help it. She deserves the break the ice-cream represents, but there's no ice-cream. Again, she narrows her eyes at Oliver. "I can theoretically be bribed into forgiving you if you get me more ice-cream."

Oliver chuckled and folded his arms over his chest. "Well, I must say, I admire your dedication to frozen dairy products. But really, Laurel, do you truly think I would stoop so low as to pilfer your precious ice cream?" He took a step closer and his smile widened. "I thought you knew me better than that."

“I found him on the street. Looks like his leg is broken.” ( scott from eric / because vet buddies! )

meme: no clue anymore lmao status: accepting (from mutuals)

"Hey, buddy," Scott coos at the dog in Eric's arms, soft and level as he silently gestures to his friend to bring the animal to the back. "Looks like you had a rough time of it, huh? Don't you worry, you're in good hand." He grins at Eric, though there is some worry on his face. The poor dog must be in so much pain. Scott only hopes they'll be able to alleviate some of it.

“Something’s after me.” ( scott from mary-lynnette! )

meme: no clue anymore lmao status: accepting (from mutuals)

Immediately, Scott's by her side, concerned and alert. He's tense, senses focused on their surroundings, but he's looking at Mary-Lynette. "What can I do?" He knows what he wants to do - protect his friend. But he's not going to take any steps without her say so.

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜ ( for kira from jade! )

meme: everything everywhere all at once starters status: accepting (from mutuals)

It takes a few long - long - heartbeats for Jade's question to register. Kira blinks slowly and turns to the other with a confused smile on her lips. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." The repetition is probably not helping her cause here. "I'm fine." Lie, lie, lie and Jade will read it all over her face but Kira keeps that smile on her face and prays that Jade doesn't push.

There's a fork in her hand - Laurel doesn't actually remember taking it out of the drawer, if she's honest - but she points it threateningly at Oliver. "Between you and ice-cream, the ice-cream wins hands down. Every time." Her eyes are narrowed, but the frown on her face is threatening to turn into a smile. "That is how it is, and how it's always going to be."

Oliver raised an eyebrow and smirked at Laurel as he leaned against the kitchen counter. "Ah, so that's where we stand, huh?" He was feigning innocence, but the glint in his eyes was betraying him. "First of all, how dare you accuse me of such a heinous crime? Second, I plead the fifth."

the easy acceptance makes the little bit of worry kira didn't realise she was holding on to slip away. lou's good that way, she knows, but still sometimes kira's urge to please and placate the people around her - she's not good at making friends, worse at keeping them, and she really wants to keep these ones especially - rears its head at the wrong moment. makes her feel insecure and unsure if she's doing the right thing or saying the right words. she's relieved by the change of subject. "i know, right! i made a joke about the x-gene the other day and all i got were blank stares."

"i suppose i can be patient for once," she nods her head. feels her own lips curl upwards into a warm smile when she sees kira's grin continue to grow. "just this once." that's a lie, she's patient whenever she wants - or needs - to be. "i really like your leggings by the way. it's good to know that at least one person will get what i'm talking about when i'm talking about the x-men."

[PRIDE]: after the receiver succeeds in a remarkable achievement, the sender cups their face and tilts their foreheads together to express how proud they are of them. (reversed tho?) (cnfrmdkll)

"Kid," Will's smile was wide and so bright. He brought his nephew in for a hug, tight and quick before pulling back and looking him in the eye. He wanted - no, needed - Jake to see the sincerity in his expression, feel the emotion in his words. "You did good, kid." Almost absently, Will ran a hand through Jake's hair, cupping the back of his head and pressing their foreheads together. "I'm so fucking proud of you." Despite every hurdle that seemed to have been thrown in Jake's path, here he stood anyway.

The laugh he let out was completely involuntary. Eyes were bright with mirth, smirk playing on his lips - he never looked more like his nephew. "Sure, kid. People just so happened to fall on the wrong side of your humour."

[writelikeyouarerunningoutof]

“ please, just go… i’m not the kind of person anyone needs to be around right now. “ (cnfrmdkll for Will bcos confirmed kill?)

Jake wasn't even looking at him. Will was not surprised, not with what he'd been hearing before he got here. He was expecting it, even. So of course he didn't listen to Jake's words. There was no way he would leave his nephew, not now. Not ever.

He lowered himself to the step near the younger man. Not too near as to make him feel overcrowded, but close enough that Jake could reach out if he wanted to. "I'm not doing that, kiddo." He settled in, glancing around the area to ensure no one could sneak up on them or overhear if they did anything more than sit in silence. "I'm going to be right here, for as long as you need."

@potestmagice | liked for a starter.

"Oliver," Laurel starts, carefully, slowly, calmly. "You know I love you, but if you ate my very clearly marked ice-cream, they're never going to find your body." It has been a long day - a long week, even - and all she wants is to veg out on her couch and forget the cases she's been working on. But her ice-cream is gone, and Laurel is a teeny-tiny bit peeved. Oliver's getting the brunt of it because he's here.

the weight he bears down on eliot is not as much as he could. alec's fronting more than actually resisting the other's forceful direction. besides, he knows damn well who would win if he really did try and argue with the hitter about going fishing. he doesn't want to, and he will make damn sure eliot knows it. but he also knows he's not going to get what he wants. "the sun," he says, drawing out the short word, "is a ball of fire in the fucking sky put there to boil us in our clothes and make us do unseemly things like sweat." he crosses his arms across his chest, stumbling slightly even as he keeps moving. "it is evil and so are you, man. so are you."

as far as eliot's concerned , if hardison can enjoy a fishing game , he can enjoy the real thing . he keeps pushing , entirely unsympathetic to the hacker's plight . ( if anything , this is a bit of revenge for making him play that stupid game in the first place . ) " the sun is good for you , hardison . get out the door , c'mon ! i ain't lettin' you get outta this one . "
