someone says: “ you've got it wrong. innocence is bullshit and useless. when he says stay gold he means stay gentle. now that’s the REAL fight.”

i sink to the bottom & say: “ stop trying to scare me ! ”

JANUARY: standing barelegged on the front porch, someone yells: “ PEOPLE DON'T ROT ! THEY HARDEN ! ”

You exist like nothing has ever touched you. Where did you learn how to do that?

“Oh, uhm, yeah, right.” That was a lot easier said than done for Rain. “I’m uh, I’m Rain Mars, it’s nice to meet you.”

          _{she   can   see   that   the   younger   is   nervous ,   so   the   brunette   offers   her   a   smile ,   in   an   attempt   to   put   her   at   ease.} 

          _{“ well ,   nice   to   meet   you   too ,   rain .   you   can   call   me   tanya .   tanya   stark .   now ,   how   about   i   buy   you   a   new   beverage   to   replace   the   one   i   just   spilled ?? ”}

              judging by the CAREFUL glance he was throwing at the machine, anyone could have said bucky was EXPECTING it to grow arms && legs && pounce at him. nonetheless, the whole tower was full of some rather STRANGE apparatus that he didn’t know how to use, && he usually stayed as far AWAY from them as he could.

              but he knew he had to get used to the new world.

              ’ — hm. ’ something that sounded somewhat like a GRUNT left the back of his throat when he raised his blue gaze towards tatiana. ’ wouldn’t it — wouldn’t it be SIMPLER to do it the old way ?? this seems … LAZY. ’ a small smile cracked the surface. ’ okay… would you TEACH me how to use it ?? ’

          _{“ try   not   to   think   of   it   as   LAZY .   try   to   think   of   it   as   more …   convenient .   for   the   working   class   people ,   at   least .   they   can   be   off   getting   ready   for   work   while   it   cooks . ”   it   was   also   useful   for   morning   make - out   sessions   too ,   (  when   you’re   too   busy   canoodling   to   watch   egg   cooking   progress   ‘ the   old   way ’  )   but   she’s   not   going   to   bring   THAT   up .   she   doesn’t   exactly   want   to   scare   bucky   off   now ,   does   she ??   she   knows   that   steve   wouldn’t   be   too   happy   about   that .}

          _{“ SURE .   it’s   as   easy   as   pie !   well ,   toast   and   eggs .   but–   you  know   what   i   mean .   it’s   easy .   you’ll   get   the   hang   of   it   quickly .   i   promise   you   that . ”   or   rather ,   she   hopes   he   can   get   the   hang   of   it   quickly .   but   then ,   she’s   never   needed   to   TEACH   anyone   how   to   use   a   toast   and   egg   maker .   so   really ,   this   was   a   trial   and   error   case .}

     ‘     don’t.     ’

the words tumble from her lips before she has a moment to stop them - or eve think of what could happen if she lost even a tiny bit of control. she fees the all too familiar crackling beneath her skin, warning her than she is too powerful to feel so shook up. it’s like this every time. one mention of pietro and she doesn’t have the control to hold on. 

    ‘     pietro wouldn’t want me caged again. don’t think
          you can use his name to sway me.     ’

         _{she   knows   that   it   was   a   low   blow ,   &&   a   part   of   her   regrets   bringing   it   up .   (  tanya   very   well   wouldn’t   want   her   brother’s   name   used   against   her   by   any   means.  )   but   the   damage   was   done   now ,   and   so   she   couldn’t   exactly   take   the   words   back ,   could   she ??}

better ideas for chance encounters than a bar or coffee shop:

• a storm is delaying our flight home and i’m afraid of thunder, please talk to me while we wait
  
• we’re both in small claims court and i got into a huge fight with the person suing me but you stepped in to hold me back before security got there
• i drove two hours to the closest video rental store that’s still operating and you were checking out the only copy of the movie i was after
• i hit you with my car but luckily you’re okay, but we should still exchange information i guess
• our friends that we came here with went off together and now we’re making awkward small talk
• i was worried about buying something off of someone creepy from craigslist but oh no you’re hot
• my friend talked me into playing a drunken game of spin the bottle even though we’re all adults and now we have to make out
• we both decided to take a [yoga/fencing/cooking etc] class and we’re the only two assholes not taking it seriously and everyone else is giving us dirty looks but we keep grinning over at each other
• my date just made a scene in public and got arrested and now i’m stranded in a city without a ride home
• sharing a cab together
• you’re trying to get me to sign a petition and i have no idea what you’re talking about
• you’re drunk at this festival and dancing on the table and when you eventually fell i caught you
• i tried to get a part time job at this place right by my house but they hired you instead and i have to see you every day when i go there now
• blind date!
• my roommate is your ex, and your roommate is my ex, and i caught them sleeping together and told you so now we’re pissed off and going on a date to get away from them even though we didnt really know each other before now

          ^{❛ yes… yes it is me. ❜   maria will nod at her daughter, far too scared to move closer to her for fear the woman will pull away from her. then again, the italian believes she deserves such a reaction, and thus, expects little now simply for the reason that she wants not to get her own hopes up.   ❛ you are so beautiful. ❜   after all, it’s been almost thirty years since she’s seen her daughter in person. brows furrowed as she thins her lips, trying hard not to let the other see how lips quiver, maria will allow a single tear to trail down her paled cheek, hands clenched into tight yet small fists at her sides so that she may keep at least some of her composure.}

          _{“ i   thought   you   were   gone ,   mama . ”   she   speaks ,   a   wash   of   gentle   sobs   escaping   her   lips ,   which   she   is   now   biting ,   trying   hard   to   soften   the   sounds   of   her   own   overflowing   emotions ,   salt   water   droplets   staining   both   cheeks .   “ but   you’re   back ,   now .   i   have   you   back . ”}

‘     holding my past mistakes against me is
        hardly going to make me change my mind.     ’

she has already been locked up and controlled by an organisation once –
though some argued that she had made the decision to be there – and she
wasn’t planning on going back into that situation. wanda didn’t want to fight
with the only people she had left, but she didn’t see another way that she
could keep being herself.
