CHRIS PINE as STEVE TREVOR Wonder Woman (2017)

[darehearts]

@de2thletter !

“If I pass, will you tell me your first name?” “No! Good night!”

[darehearts]

there  will  come  a  time  when  everything  will  come  together       &       make  sense  to  the  blonde.       she  will  understand  why  he’s  not  rough  around  the  edges  with  her.       the  fact  that  the  two  of  them  are  not       ALONE       anymore  flashes  inside  his  mind  every  breath  he  takes,       causing  him  to  be  careful       &       vigilant  in  ways  he  didn’t  think  possible  for  him.      

his  hands  are  forever  bloodstained       &       calloused       ;       how  could  they  behold  a  pure  being  without  staining  him       ?       or  her  —  with  a  legacy  of  massacre       ?       Kirk  holds  Carol  a  little  closer  with  those  thoughts  torturing  him.

❝          i  didn’t  know  what  i  needed.          ❞       he  explains  with  honesty,       tilting  his  head  to  press  a  long  kiss  on  her  head.       ❝          NEVER  AGAIN.          ❞       there  cannot  be  anything  more  surprising  than       THIS.       he’s  sure  of  it.       she  shouldn’t  be  thanking  him  for  anything.       he  doesn’t  say  it,       but  the  confused  frown  on  his  visage  when  she  looks  up  at  him  speaks  it  clearly.

suddenly,       his  lips  find  the  place  they  belong       :       her  mouth.       this  is  the  only  language  he  speaks  fluently.       ❝          you’re  sleep-deprived.       that’s  not  good                                ❞       with  a  slow  yet  smooth  motion,       he  picks  Carol  up  even  if  she’s  bound  to  whine  about  being  carried.

❝          i  didn’t  get  far.       i  walked  endlessly  inside  a  forest,       then  turned  around  to  find  you.          ❞

no shit. well, at least, they seem to agree that his departure was a mistake. still, she shouldn't make it too easy on him. otherwise, he will continue to do whatever he wants without giving her another thought. ❛   that would defeat the purpose. i would have no satisfaction from watching you jump.   ❜ he is even more annoying than when they first met.

Carol ( finally ) meets his gaze for a few seconds. ❛   stop being so agreeable. it's weird.   ❜ the lady half-heartedly jabs at his chest multiple times before giving up. he remains as STOIC as ever, & she's slowly growing weary now that the tension is leaving her body.

before she can escape, he pulls her back against him. as much as she wants to fight him, she decides to give up. it's pointless. they both know she will eventually give up. ❛   it wouldn't kill you to leave a note if you need some time away . . .   ❜ her arms wrap around his waist before she sighs. ❛   if you ever pull anything like this again, i will shove my foot up your ass somehow.   ❜

how can she be so EASY ? a few words, a bit of softness & she's ready to forgive him━not that she'd tell him that yet . . . who are they kidding ? she forgave him as soon as he showed up. ❛   thanks for coming back.   ❜

@danversiism !

first. he touches you and you light on fire. your wrist blazes where his fingers meet your skin. the burns don’t show, but it’s hard to breathe with ash in your lungs. it’s so hard to breathe. you’re suffocating daily.

second. it hurts to watch him. he shines. he’s brighter than the sun, he’s too beautiful for your eyes. it’s hard to look at him. it’s even harder to look away from him. you’re going blind.

third. your ears are tuned to his voice. you could pick him out in a sea of thousands. his voice makes pretty singers who sing pretty songs sound dull. his voice makes everything else sound ugly.

fourth. the color of his eyes is enough to drown in. he is turning you into a clichéd love-wrecked being. you’re drowning, always sinking. down, down, down.

fifth. you know him. you love him. through a thousand lifetimes, across millions of stars, you’d find him, you’d never leave him. you love him, till death do you part.

( sixth. he loves you, too. )

Five things you know, and the one thing you don’t by anonymous

[darehearts]

if  only  he  could  spill  the  truth  right  here,   right  now.   could  she  see  this  has  nothing  to  do  with  his  previous  warnings  or  admonishments       ?       that  this  has  nothing  to  do  with  them  time  traveling  or  him  taking  revenge  only  to  find  absolute  emptiness  afterward       ?       nothing  makes  sense  to  him  anymore.

his  previous       &       future  plans                               his  mind  is  a  violent  jungle       &       he  himself  is  the  hunted.

she’s  not  even  there  with  him  yet.       she’s  in  shambles  because  of  his  absence.       in  a  twisted  way,       he’s  thankful  for  this  moment.       he’s  unsure  what  lies  ahead.       ❝          i  do.          ❞       Kirk  agrees.       idiot,       asshole     .  .  .       he’s  been  called  worse  where  he  comes  from,       &       none  of  those  who  did  live.

❝          I  MADE  A  MISTAKE.          ❞       he  interjects,       utterly  unmoved  by  Carol’s  attempts  to  push  him.       he  supposes  this  is  how  she  expresses  her  annoyance  with  him.       it’s  why  he  watches  while  his  fingers  twitch  hesitantly,       wanting  to  touch  her.       ❝          i’ll  jump  willingly  if  that  helps  you  feel  better.       just  say  the  word.          ❞

after  she  steps  back,       he  steps  forward       &       brings  his  arms  around  her,       pressing  her  against  his  chest  to  give  her  a  proper,       tight  hug.       ❝          you’re  allowed  to  react  however  you  want  to.       i  accept  my  punishment.          ❞

his perfect composure only annoys her more. but as mad as she is at him, most of her anger is at herself. her whole foundation was shaken when he came into the picture, & now look at her ! he must not have seen that brief flash of relief when he walked through the door. part of the blonde had been so sure he wouldn't come back. why would he ? he'd been telling her along who he was ?

then he shows up, & now he's APOLOGIZING. what the hell is she supposed to do with that ?!

❛   you're a real asshole, yanno ?   ❜ Carol turns, still upset, avoiding looking into his eyes & choosing to focus on his shoulders instead. ❛   you tell me all those things, & then you go off on your own without a warning. then you come back the same way.   ❜ her palms slam against his chest. naturally, he doesn't move an inch.

❛   you didn't even bother to think about how ━━   ❜ it would make me feel . . . she tries to SHOVE him again. she's so annoyed with both of them that she's on the verge of tears. ❛   you're lucky i can't push you into the water, idiot.   ❜ for second, she leans against him for some comfort before taking a step back. ❛   i'm still mad at you.   ❜

❝          you’re  projecting     .  .  .          ❞       calling       HIM       needy  when  it’s  the  god  who  needs  help  is  hilarious       !       his  comment  is  under  his  breath,       somewhat,       regardless.       pulling  the  ‘i  know  your  brother’  card  feels  unnecessary,       &       potentially  will  annoy  Loki.

the  captain  holds  back  on  that  for  now,       following  him  with  sure  steps.       he  almost  asks  him  to  be  honest  with  him.       that  feels  pointless  too.       ❝          i  will  enjoy  it  only  if  i  know  whatever  you  are  up  to  will  benefit  innocent  people.       as  you  can  probably  infer,       this  better  not  be  some  selfish  theft  to  fill       ONLY       your  pockets.          ❞

loki's grin ebbs away into something a little less manic as he considers james considering him. it's a bit of a stand-off for a good few seconds until the man says something that has loki rolling his eyes so hard they might have fallen out of his head.

"will that make you more inclined to join the mission? honestly, you're so needy, james. fine, i would like your help... to be both bait AND a diversion. it's right up your alley, come now, surely you'll enjoy it?"

@prcspcr !

[darehearts]

he  swore  to  himself  that  he  would  not  get  tangled  up  with  any  of  his  crew  members  anymore.       &       maybe  that  promise  alone  is  where  he’s  gone  wrong.       Kirk  has  plenty  of  rules  to  follow  in  his  beloved  home,       some  of  which  he  takes  too  seriously,       tying  his  honor  to  them.       however,       his  world  feels  upside  down  when  it  comes  to  the  blonde.       he’s  reluctant  to  let  go.       doing  so  leaves  him  with  nothing  but  an  awkward  smile       &       his  weight  slightly  shifting  on  his  spot,       considering,       in  technicality,       he  shouldn’t  have  kissed  her.

he  shouldn’t  have                           it’s  why  it  was  all  the  sweeter.       ❝          it’s  much  more  preferable  to  a  fight  of  phasers.          ❞       Jim  comments.       his  tone  is  smooth       &       at  its  usual  frequency.       at  least,       he  seems  fine       EXTERNALLY.       within  his  heart,       it’s  a  different  story.       ❝          i  don’t  know  what  came  over  me.          ❞       he  tells  Carol  with  a  soft  expression,       lips  pursing  as  his  gaze  shifts  down  at  her  boots       &       then  up  at  her  features.       this  feels  like  a  good  time  to  sprinkle  some  honesty  into  their  conversation.       ❝          you  have  a  particular       EFFECT       on  me  that  i  cannot  explain.       i  hope  i  didn’t  make  you  uncomfortable.          ❞

he seems to embrace her fiery personality & stubbornness. almost delighting in it & daring her to keep going as if to see how far she's willing to take it. luckily, the blonde isn't someone who backs down from a challenge or otherwise. it's thrilling━an addictive feeling that she needs to watch out for before she's in too deep with no way out. after all, this is HER CAPTAIN. if anyone has anything to lose here, it isn't him. however, life isn't without risks, so she cuts off his path & silences him with a smirk on her features. her lips part to let out some ridiculous remark, only for her to be silenced in return.

her gaze widens once his mouth captures hers. for a second, she's too stunned to properly react before surrendering to him. her head tilts as she gets hold of his gold shirt & her mouth opens slightly, hoping for more. rationality is out of the window even as he pulls back & lies. she blinks in confusion. ❛   i wasn't even speaking . . .   ❜ the lady straightens her RED outfit to have something to do while her heart presses violently against her chest. he's a good kisser. must be one heck of a passionate lover . . . what is she thinking ?! Carol clears her throat, trying to regain her composure. ❛   furthermore, that is cheating. yanno, you can't solve everything or WIN every argument by kissing people. nice as it is . . .   ❜ the last four words are but mumbles under her breath.

good morning a hot take perhaps but it is totally okay to write goofy things with your muses  ??  not all threads will make perfect sense or fit the concepts or themes you want to explore.  not every reply has to be nobel prize worthy.  sometimes you gotta stop thinking and just have fun with your writing partners  !  😌💞

[darehearts]

he  was  beginning  to  wonder  why  it  was  taking  too  long  for  an  outburst  to  occur.       Kirk  has  always  known  his  communication  ability  dwindled  over  time  as  centuries  passed  in  bloodbaths       &       twisted  displays  of  roaring  rage.       he  spewed  tar  forever.      

the  tragedy  is  that  he’s  coming  on  too  strong  even  without  wanting  to.       there’s  a  part  of  him  ordering  everybody  around,       looking  past  their  pain.       if  he  endured  what  he  had,       no  one  should  have  an  excuse.      

realizing  such  a  concept       CANNOT       apply  to  his  queen,       he  lets  her  shout,       watching  her  with  slightly  widened  eyes.       if  not  for  his  blinking,       one  might  assume  he’s  frozen  by  the  kitchen  counter.       déjà  vu                            he  watches  her  go  past  him  again.      

how  conflicted  his  heart  is       !       how  it  burns  knowing  what  he  does       !       he  still  cannot  process  it.       a  minute  later,       Kirk  follows  Carol  to  the  dock.       ❝          I’M  SORRY.          ❞       he  announces  after  coming  to  a  halt  a  big  step  behind  her.       it’s  the  first  time  he’s  apologized  to  anyone  since  losing  his  crew.       ❝          i  promised  i’d  never  hurt  you,       but  i  have.          ❞

it doesn't take long before she regrets coming out. how can someone be so exasperating ? he has a real talent for it. not to mention those big balls for coming back here like his actions weren't a big deal. can't he see how annoyed she is ? he should give her some time.

hell, he could try a softer approach instead of trying to impose his will on her. it is always what HE wants, when he wants it. he leaves for a day, then comes back, & she's supposed to welcome him with open arms ?

❛   no ! why should i listen to anything you have to say, huh ?!   ❜ Carol takes a sharp turn in his direction, her index finger pointing right at his chest. thankfully, he remains at a distance, or who knows what she'd do. ❛   is that supposed to intimidate me ? because it doesn't.   ❜

what an asshole ! first, he sends her into a panic, & makes her look for him everyone. does he have any idea what he put her through ? no, he doesn't. & now he's trying to justify his actions like that would change how AWFUL he made her feel. ❛   if you don't want to be quiet, then you can stay here instead & i will go this time.  ❜ & she goes out the back door, walking in the direction of the dock.

[darehearts]

according  to  Kirk,       whatever  form  of  punishment  she  deems  fit  for  him  is  acceptable  because  he  went  back  on  his  word       &       left.       he  can  only  hope  that  his  somewhat  swift  return  will  help  him  salvage  the  remaining  broken  pieces  of  her  trust  in  him.      

not  to  mention  the  news                         the  truth  that  he  half  pretends  to  ignore  will  sink  into  this  house  soon.      

he  waited  centuries  at  a  time  before,       so  however  long  passed  doesn’t  bother  the  ex-captain.       he  simply       EXISTS       where  he  sits,       trying  to  keep  his  mind  blank.       it’s  not  easy.       once  the  bathroom  door  opens       &       Carol  goes  past  him,       his  gaze  follows  her  movements  without  a  flinch.      

Kirk  follows  the  lady  into  the  kitchen  a  minute  later,       just  in  case  she  needs  to  gather  herself.       ❝          i’m  not  trying  to  sell  you  anything.          ❞       he  announces.      

❝          you  don’t  have  to  talk  to  me,       but  you  must       LISTEN.       can  you  do  that       ?       nod  if  so,       you’ll  need  to  take  a  seat  for  what  i’m  about  to  tell  you.          ❞       his  gaze  travels  from  her  very  annoyed  face  to  the  nearest  chair.       is  that  disbelief  in  her  gaze       ?       ❝          I  DON’T  PLAY  AROUND,       CAROL.          ❞

at least he's not trying to barge in here. still, if she knows anything about him, it's that he won't give up. both are prepared to wait it out, but they know she can't be in there forever. ugh. for a second, she wonders if she's overreacting; after all, he did come back. only to tell herself she has a right to be MAD at him.

he can't do whatever the hell he wants & expect her to always be here, waiting, simply because she has feelings for him !

❛   dammit.   ❜ so much for waiting until he walked off. should she go out there ? he probably expects her to go off on him, which is precisely why she can't. & why is he talking so much all of a sudden ? could he have something IMPORTANT to share ? it could be a ruse to get her to come out, even if it isn't his style.

what does she know ? a couple of days ago, she didn't think he'd leave her, but he proved her wrong. let him suffer !

a while later ( not knowing how long it has been ), Carol emerges but walks right past him. ❛   whatever you are trying to sell, i don't want it.   ❜ she announces, moving towards the kitchen. ❛   i'm still NOT talking to you.   ❜

The best bit of advice I ever got was during my teaching training a few years ago. “You can’t pour from an empty cup”. You can’t devote yourself to anything - a job, a person, a hobby, a craft - if you’ve nothing left in you. 

Take breaks. Rest. Prioritise your health. Refill your cup. 

[darehearts]

You saved the crew.
