sometimes i really think you have a death wish . @rbnvtch
there's a break in every human being, a line of resiliency, of ENDURANCE. outside of medicine, she'd be trained to find that point and push past it, to crawl beneath wire with broken limbs and keep going. it's wired into her, vigilance kept home from spine to gaze. her smile is still warm, the chuff of laughter like a breeze of life. a spark of intimacy behind the weariness of honey— maybe she was starting to lose her edge, exhaustion seeping into her bones like that. maybe that's the most tragic part about it, was how she could still soldier on for another double if someone asked her to.
❛ death hides when he sees me coming. ❜ god, she wished. she'd BEGGED AND BEGGED so many times, screamed into an empty sky, bled herself dry and still kept fighting. she tucked the iPad under her arm to give him her undivided attention. perhaps, too much as she reaches for his coffee cup ( he brews it better than anything around here ), and takes a sip. not too tired to mess with him. ❛ working two doubles in seven days isn't that bad, michael. i'm almost done. unless you're going to drag me out kicking and screaming. ❜ a playful glint, another sip and her index points in silent accusation.
she isn't someone who flusters easily. could withstand the force of a thousand storms and still hold her ground against the CARNAGE AND CHAOS. ❛ i've got a hundred thrown-out speeches i almost said to you. ❜ she's at a loss here, in over her head and overthinking because it's not as simple as locking into task or mission. her heart wears too close to her sleeve and clawing its way into his hands.

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.

Leon’s grabbing her by the jaw |: @washsins
heat curls under her skin, violence biting the edges, like a spark in the air before a storm breaks. his hand was on her, rough and anticipated, fingers clamping around her jaw and tilting her head up like she was something he owned. that's what it was; an ache to be wanted for more than the war in her veins. consumed in a way that suffocates every haunting at her heels. lip curled before her brain could catch up. a smile, slow and cutting, almost sweet in the right light, and he knew better. but the moon cast a shadow, held a spotlight on her. the stuttering of lifted hips interrupted their rhythm; leon catches her before she can torment any further. ❛ did i even stand a chance? ❜ a ragged exhale, amusement flushed as a glow on her cheeks. hand dancing across his chest wraps around his wrist, honey eyes fixated and still taunting in a silent dare. her head tilts, guiding to her throat and pressing into calluses. ❛ you have the stamina for it, don't you? or is age catching up? ❜

she didn’t think. she couldn’t think. by the time she had crossed the threshold past his door, gloria’s hands were shaking. not from fear, not from the cold, but from something hungrier, meaner. something she couldn’t scrape out of her chest, no matter how hard she tried. it had been gnawing at her for days, weeks maybe. that hollow, bone-deep need that curled under her skin and made her feel too tight, too human, too breakable. heart hammering against her ribs, adrenaline stabbing at the base of her skull the way it used to before firefights.
only this was worse; this was personal.
gloria doesn't give russell a second to breathe or contemplate the brokenness she carried in. she was already on him, grabbing the collar of his shirt and dragging him down to meet her mouth. it was desperate, waking up the part of her soul that had been warped into something caustic and fractured. her teeth caught on his lip, fingers yanking at the fabric over his chest like she could tear her need out by force if she just clawed hard enough. she needed someone real. someone solid, someone that could pin her down when the world spun out and she couldn’t catch her breath. ❛ please. ❜ gloria heard herself say it like a disembodied entity haunting the room. a hoarse whisper, nearly unrecognizable. she hated the sound of it, the crack in her own voice, but she needed him more than she needed pride right now.
