❛ i don't know why you're telling me. i'm not involved. you made that, very clear. ❜

she isn't good on the assurance that it all gets better, gets more manageable. IT DOESN'T, but your body adapts as it would in times of duress ( times of war ) ❛ in my mind, i can save the boy. ❜ an utterance between the rhythm of stabilized vitals, tedious beep taunting with a drop at any given second. she'd brutalize herself if she couldn't.
lyrical sc// @frthestars ( mel )
honey gaze scours the delicate clutter of tools. all foreign to her knowledge and oddly comforting, as if by some extension of who he was could quell pockets of unrest. the tightness in her chest loosened, just a little. she keeps so many horrors there, unearthed like a vandalized mausoleum. gloria follows the sound of his voice, leans back into the warmth of his presence behind her. her fingers hover over the spools before settling on one — a dusky blue, like the swirling sky of a storm.
❛ this one. ❜ she murmurs, voice low enough to keep it steady. gloria focused on the feel of it, every sensation of lips adorning skin and distracting racing thoughts. ❛ don't go too easy on me. ❜
@medicbled
"here, let me show you something." voice and touch are gentle yet firm as he ushers them to his work desk and tugs gloria down, wooden office chair squeaking in protest under their combined weight. before them stands a rotary vise fixed around a fishing hook and a collection of colorful threads, feathers, flash, and beads kept in organized chaos. there's a storm brewing in that head of hers and this method, distraction and redirection, has always been effective in quieting his own busy mind.
"we'll do an easy one," josef begins, reassurance offered in the form of a squeeze and pecks against the slope of her shoulder between sentences. "pick a thread."
gloria's cool date idea: a fucking nap and you pretend like she didn't drool on you a little bit cause she's comfortable with you.
an non - spicy starter call so a regular one ? ( obvious subject for existing ships that it to be shippy if that’s the direction I go in )
15. bookcase. // HC @owestwind
BOOKSHELVES// she has a habit, a collection that rivals her record one. two points in her home have dedication to her literature. - a corner in her living room and a good portion of her bedroom. every single book is one she's read at least once before and there are favourites she revisits often. many copies that have seen combat and deployments and gotten her through difficult times. she's a fast, thorough reader and her taste varies, but this is a little snippet of some of her favourites.
the gun is still, but her breath isn’t. it slips through clenched TEETH as something she doesn’t trust herself to name. her eyes don’t waver and that’s the only thing that doesn’t betray her. everything else, every muscle, every nerve ending is listening to him. his words coil around her like smoke in a sealed room; thick, unrelenting, poisonous and holy.
he stands in front of her like a revenant. a memory reanimated into something hungrier, rougher but not gone, and maybe that was her penance for unearthing what should have stayed dead. she watches the way he leans into the barrel, like he’s inviting annihilation. like he already knows she won’t give it to him.
and that’s what tips her.
gloria moves before thought, a surge of instinct and history. rage, ache, and hunger burn under her skin like shrapnel hitting a nerve. she lifts her hand, the barrel close enough now that it kisses his chin at the juncture between flesh and mask. she knows he'll find her and haunt her, and she will let him in every single time.
❛ you’re right. i don’t want control and i don't need permission either. ❜ her voice serrated, low and trembling with something that has nothing to do with fear. her free hand curls in his shirt, dragging him tighter against her. she wants to feel the pulse of him and plead to the man beneath.
❛ and you, what about you, querido? ❜ she leaned in, her nose brushed his mask, mouth hovering at the edge of his jaw, and then so suddenly. CLICK — that's all it was: an empty game of roulette she never loaded. a sound so deafening despite being so small. She pulls back just enough to look at him, really look at him. ❛ i could always see you, you know. all that hurt i could sink my teeth into like you tore into mine. ❜
she holds a beat like she's unhinging her maw. ❛ but you’re wrong about one thing ❜ a push off his frame, empty clip snapped out of the pistol, and the entirety falls to the ground. her eyes don't leave him, emotions too deep to remain buried and twice as volatile as the heart on her sleeve. ❛ i don’t want to pretend i’m better than you. i want to believe i wasn’t always just like you, but we both know that's not true, don't we? ❜

POINT A GUN AT MY MUSE PROMPT. | @waruins
that barrel's not cold. that is what gloria doesn't realize. it's not trembling in her grip. but he can feel the hesitation affecting her. and jigsaw? he feeds on that.
it's not wanton glee or the mockery you'd get from an overperforming circus clown. he has a hunger that lives in the marrow of his bones. the version of him before wouldn't flinch. neither would the one that came back from the mirror.
❝ now this—this is the good part. ❞ his voice scrapes out. it's rusted and sharp, like heavy metal dragged across the asphalt. there's a twisted reverence that overrode any delight or scorn he might have derived from his grim circumstances.
his devilish audacity compels him to tempt his fate and step closer. to dare her finger to twitch against the trigger because he invaded her space now, in her head, and still—he’s unafraid of death.
❝ oh, go on. ❞ the virtually masked eyes flick to the muzzle that was ready to bark at any second. he wonders what dark whispers it put in her head to make her believe this was the right move. ❝ do it. i’d let you. right here. right now! permission to kill, soldier! ❞
the mask covers the jagged and lopsided grin. it shields her from the ruin, but not the dark dare. his head cocks, wolfish, a second away from acting on the impulse to tear into her for the cowardice alone.
❝ i think you want me close. i think you want me to bleed for you. break for you. and maybe even burn you a little and call it worship. ❞ he says it like it was a secret passed between their sinner selves of a previous life. a gospel carved into the wall of some brig.
❝ i think this little gun? ain’t punishment. it’s one of our fucked up foreplays. ❞ because it felt familiar. it seemed like some shit he'd be into with a girl like her in his past. his hand lifts slowly—measured, not threatening—fingers brushing against the side of the coal-black barrel like he’s petting it. like it's her hair. his thumb grazes the slide, the tension point of unceremonious death, and he sighs like he's tasted the most exquisite dish for his last day on earth.
❝ you don’t want control, gloria. you want permission. you want to see what you are when you stop pretending you're better than me. as if we didn't fly the same colors for our country. ❞ his other hand reaches—not to her, but to his own chest. he taps it once. twice. thrice. firm. he leans in and whispers rot in her ear:
❝ squeeze the trigger. i’ll still come back for you, gloria. even if you break me. even if you kill me. i'll crawl outta hell and find you, sweetheart. ❞ then—he steps back. but it's barely an inch away. it's enough to see her beautiful trepidation in her eyes. enough to see if his words led to them softening or hardening. jigsaw grins again.
❝ now what’s it gonna be, angel? you gonna make uncle sam proud? or are you scared it’ll feel too fucking good? ❞

❛ fucking hit me already. ❜ / frank ! @weaponid
gloria doesn't ask if he means it. she watches him like she’s trying to see past the skin and into the marrow where all that rage lives coiled and choking. watches him like the cornered fox minds the rabid hound. she knows he means it; pain has always been an open door between them. her hand twitches at her side, she swallows down barbed wire and the fucked intimacy of it all. she moves fast, sharp, her fist colliding with his face in a clean, brutal arc. there’s no hesitation behind it, no apology. honesty ruptures and lands with a crack that echoes louder than it should. his head jerks to the side, and for a second, everything holds. suspended and sacred.
she's caught on every hitch in her unsteady cadence of breath. something so much deeper than transactional sadomasochism and ire, because it's never been that simple for them. his skin is hot beneath her palm when she grabs his jaw, dragging his face back to hers. her thumb presses along the red blotch on his cheek, rough and reverent. ❛ that hard enough, frank? did that knock some sense into your fucking head yet? ❜ its a clawed grip behind his neck, the other hand gripping the collar and yanking him closer, foreheads pressed so hard it hurts. her voice breaks against his mouth. ❛ you're broken, i know, and so am i. i don't care how many fucked up pieces of you are left cause i'm going to keep coming back until there's nothing to come back to. ❜
