"Hush," he says, pulling your body flush against his. Your breath hitches in your throat, and your heart pounds wildly in your chest, ready to crack through its skeletal cage and flee in utter terror, blood and vessels trailing behind it. Your eyes fix uncomfortably on the policeman's, searching for any sign of reassurance. His lips press together to stifle his breathing, his eyes strangely composed yet still wide and alert. As your fist curls in his jacket, you feel his pulse pounding through the fabric of his uniform and the leather of his bulletproof vest. Then, you hear them...once a distant echo, now steadily drawing nearer... Stomp.

Around you is one of the very few instances Runaan tends to let his guard down, but that doesn’t mean he’s anything easy to surprise. Only once he’s fully occupied polishing one of his daggers are you able to walk behind him, carefully leaning around where he’s sat to press a quick kiss to his lips, soon grinning at the momentary, wide eyed and agape mouth, look of shock on his face. He quickly coughs, regaining his composure. “I suppose this means war then.” “War? Always so serious.” You twirl a strand of his white hair around you finger “Though if I get more kisses out of it, I suppo

       “Hey, you're finally awake.” Turning to face the slightly louder than usual footsteps, you greeted Vergil with an unapologetically sarcastic smile. “I was starting to think you died, or gone into hibernation.” Enjoying his ever so slightly confused expression a bit more than you should have, you struggled to keep your teasing to a minimum. “I didn't think it was possible for someone to sleep that long.” Though his confusion was still evident, at least to you, Vergil bitterly scoffed at your words. “Of course I'm not dead.” “Obviously.” Rolling your eyes at his overly stern t

           “Had you told me that you were having trouble sleeping, I would have suggested you come to stay with us sooner. You shouldn't have tried to suffer through it alone.” Fingers laced with yours, Sebastian sat next to you on the rhythmically swaying carriage. It was long after sunset, and most people had already tucked themselves into bed for the night. You, however, had found sleeping almost impossible since the day Grell broke into your home. Even when you did find sleep, the dreams you had made you wish you'd never closed your eyes. Once Sebastian had learned of this, he insisted you come to the

                    He sat on the throne, his actions pensive.  His chin rested in his open palm.  Through the destroyer he set out to terminate that small New Mexico town, he heard his “brother” plead for the town’s safety.  His eyes narrowed for a split second. Why should I believe him now?  Why is he so soft now?  Loki mused.  His decision was almost made.  He wasn’t going to listen to Thor.  However, Loki heard a small sigh from the corner of the room.  He looked over at the source of the noise.  “What do you want, (Name)?” he asked.  (Name), his wife of only eight months padded over to him.  She gra

         “Hey, there you are. I heard you made it.” Standing outside of the Tōtsuki resort, almost as if he had been waiting for you, a wide, excited smile appeared on Sōma's face the instant you walked through the doors. “Congrats.” “I did, but just barely.” Tired beyond belief, but also proud that you had managed to make it until the very end, you nodded. “I almost gave up a few times to be honest with you. I never expected any of this to be this hard.” “It has been pretty tough, but I knew you could do it.” Surprisingly energetic, especially compared to all of his clas

        “I think that was the last one. Quick, flip the sign before anyone else tries to come in at the last minute.” Subconsciously holding your breath in your chest, you let out a loud, relieved sigh as Sephiroth turned the sign on your small flower shop from opened, to closed. Glad it was all finally over, for this year at least, you placed your hand over your heart and relaxed the tension that had been building in your shoulders. “Thank god. That was too much.” Chuckling softly at your disheveled, worn out appearance, Sephiroth cocked a sarcastic brow. “Tired?” “Tired is an understatement. I fee

Day 5 When you woke up again from the sound of your alarm, you could feel the relief shoot through your body immediately. Your heart was thundering inside your chest and as you took in a shaky breath, you could feel the tears wet your cheeks.    You had never felt so hopeless in your life. Seeing Steve there on the ground of the Hydra base, slowly bleeding out, something inside you had clicked back in place. The girl you had been for the past year had faded from your mind and you had vowed to yourself that whatever were to happen today, you would be yourself again. And if you were to die tonight, you’d at least take that damned Hydra
