When dancing is all you got and the thought of changing and enriching people’s lives is all you want. Once a dancer, always a dancer.

Hunger

@fullofpromise

Donny hadn’t realized how long it had been since he fed.

His hunger was thrown into stark relief when Julia arrived at his home, an apartment at the edge of town, far from others but near enough to feed. Julia, with her brightness and warmth, had come to visit. 

“Babe,” he said. “We have to do this another time.”

@fullofpromise continued from here. 

The last thing she was expecting was a marriage proposal. She had noticed his change in behavior and he was acting weird, but she thought it was best to just let him go.

The tears were sparkling in her eyes, he really wants to marry her. “Are you serious?” She never had thought she’d marry again. Until she and Donny pursued their relationship and suddenly she could see a new future.

He smiles up at her on his knees, the shiny ring held out to her. It was his mother’s, given to him for a special girl like Julia. She’s the girl he has to give this to, and while it took him quite awhile to perfect the speech, and way of proposing, he’s finally here. Their private anniversary dinner seems like the best time to him. 

‘ I’m serious. I don’t wanna be with any other girl. I wanna marry you, Julia. ’

An Investigation

@fullofpromise

“I’ll be out late tonight. Don’t wait up for me.”

Katherine stuck her phone in her pocket and pulled on her jacket. “You can go ahead and invite Donny over if you want. Tonight’s a perfect night for it.”

She grabbed her notebook and stuck it in her bag. “If you want me to grab takeout, text me. I can’t risk picking up your call.”

He shook his head. "I'm bolder." He said, standing up and taking a deep breath. "Bold enough to do what I should've done a long time ago." He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into a deep kiss. Something he'd been dreaming of for a while.

“Do you remember when you loved me once?”

Donny ran a hand through his hair and turned away from her. “I do. I remember how much you meant to me. How deeply I wished things could’ve been different.”

@fullofpromise

Donny messed with his shirt, looking out at a storm starting to gather in the distance over the kingdom. The fields in the distance were in desperate need of rain, it had been a dry spring.

"If my father asks I went to visit the market." Donny told his new chambermaid, a young woman who was insanely beautiful, she'd been here for about 2 weeks now and had said all of 5 words to him. He kept trying to get her to warm up to him but it wasnt working quiet yet.

"And if he doesn't believe that just tell him the truth." He signed rolling his shoulders. He was actually heading down stairs to play the piano, something his father didnt appreciate him doing anymore.

36: our muses sitting at their child’s sickbed

@fullofpromise

Donny quietly closed the door, careful not to upset the mug of tea in his hand as he softly made his way toward Julia. June was sound asleep in bed, but her condition was temperamental, and after the last close call, they had no choice but to keep a constant vigil.

He handed the mug to her and whispered, “You should get some sleep. I can watch her.”

@fullofpromise​ continued from here. 

She smirks at him. “What’s the problem Mr. Nova?” She asks with a raised eyebrow. “Are you ticklish?” She questions as she runs her finger over the same spot on the scar. She had never seen Donny squirm so much.

It was entertaining, she had no intention of stopping. She was thrilled he’d gotten some sleep, but she was bored and she had always wanted to touch the scar. Thankfully it didn’t hurt him anymore.

‘ N   No! ’ He claims through his laughter, squirming just enough to make her stop. He is comfortable in her arms otherwise. Besides the ticklish onslaught, Donny could consider this a good way to wake up. Perhaps, they could wake up this way every day.

“Julia, that ain’t no one’s fault.” He knew his best friend well enough to know she would probably probe Donny for information on Michael’s death the second he left.

Jack was doing his best to soothe her. “C’mon.” He ushered her inside. “Maggie’s in bed already, we’ll sit in th’ kitchen an’ I’ll make some tea.”

“It was his fault, Jack. He’s the reason Michael is dead.”

@fullofpromise

Jack couldn’t think of any thing to do other than embrace his friend. This was what he hadn’t wanted. He didn’t what he heart broken all over again by the reality of what happened.

He ushered her inside his home. “It ain’t somethin’ he done on purpose, right? I mean that guy looks like he cared a whole bunch ‘bout Michael.”

[withcameraandpen]

“How is married life treating you, Mrs. Kelly?”

@fullofpromise

Katherine beamed, none-too-subtly fiddling with her wedding band. “Very well, thank you. Getting to wake up beside him and take Maggie to school is wonderful. And here I was, thinking things were just going to go back to normal. Like things wouldn’t really change, but so much has changed.”

[kingxhood]

@fullofpromise

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon when Donny found himself back in the streets of Cleveland Ohio. He hadn't been here in years, he'd been avoiding visiting, and for good reason too. He had a kid here, and even worse he was utterly and madly in love with his mother. It was a scary thing to be in love and to live forever, the power he had never made up for the love he lost decade after decade.

Still, knocking on the little house with the white picket fence, and American flag hanging on the door he couldn't hell but feel guilty. Was he really here to try and make up for the time? Or was this just his last desperate move to turn the tide of the war in his and the others favor? Either way, he knew it wouldnt be easy.

He knocked three times on the door and shoved his hands into his pockets, holding his breath.

[betterthansinatra]

“I wish you saw in yourself what I see in you.”

@fullofpromise

What did she see in him? A bruised and battered man worthy of pity? A villain who had hurt her deeply? Or maybe just as the temperamental musician, quick to anger when something didn’t go his way.

The worst was that she found something in him to admire. He was talented, but could she admire his talent when it came with so many caveats?

He swallowed hard. “That’s kind of you.”

[miiirrorbcll]

@fullofpromise continued from here. 

She’s never been this sick before, or at least if she has been she can’t remember it. “You’re going to get sick if you stay here with me like this.” They don’t both need to have whatever this is. Rehearsals for the band have already been cancelled and they’ve already had to cancel a gig. She hates knowing that she’s the reason the band stops making progress.

“There is supposed to be a rehearsal tonight and because of me there isn’t.” She feels guilty and she absolutely despised this illness. She pulls the blanket around her more, trying to warm herself up.

‘ I’m pretty resistant. I think the last time I was ill was when I was a baby. ’ He chuckles, setting his head on her shoulder. He grabs her hand when she starts re wrap the blanket around her, knowing that she’ll soon over heat if stays in a bundle of blankets. 

‘ Jules, you’re already hot enough. And this cancellation isn’t you fault. The guys needed a break to relax. ’ He assures her, running his cool hands up and down her arms slowly.

“Just let me take care of you. Why are you so stubborn?” (@fullofpromise for Donny)

@fullofpromise

 “I’m not stubborn, Julia. I just know I’m able to take care of myself.” Donny says after falling up the stairs and scraping his leg and palm. He had tried to patch himself first, but Julia had insisted she do it herself.
