‘ why would i do that, babe ? ’ they turned to face dove, responding calmly before mirroring their girlfriend's adorable pout. lennon was sitting with her legs crossed on the ground in front of the fireplace ( that she was most definitely not just messing with ). ‘ nah, i'm serious though. i'm not playing a prank on you pretty - i promise. wait, maybe this place is haunted.. ’ their eyes widened purposefully, wiggling fingers at the other.

"baby, did you take my makeup bag off the counter?" dove called out from the small bathroom, frowning as she opened and shut drawers to no avail. pursing her lips and furrowing her brows, she left the room, slipping into the bedroom and pouting once she caught sight of lennon. "it's either that you're playing the long game on pranking me or like... being on vacation is making my memory decline."

his heart's racing now, seeing the other hurt like this - god it feels like his brain's about to explode. prominent brows furrow, anger surging through him too much that he doesn't even notice the warmth of the blood on his hand. ‘ WHO, who is they ? ’ he questions again, realizing that the male can't even probably think to answer coherently. he crouches down a bit holding onto jaxon, trying to keep him up. ‘ c'mon, you're gonna be okay. ’ matthew usually doesn't feel compassion for anyone or anything- except the wounded male in front of him. his best friend, his ride or die, without jaxon he would literally have nothing, nobody. ‘ here - ’ he stands his friend up as a best as he can, putting their arm around him. ‘ you're gonna' be okay, i promise. i'm going to kill whoever did this to you.. you hear me ? y'know i wouldn't lie to you. ’ matthew walks alongside him slowly, leading jaxon to the couch. once his friend takes a seat, he crouches down in front of him, ‘ jaxon.. listen, i get you're hurt - but you HAVE to tell me who the fuck did this. what did they look like ? ’ he runs his hand ( cigarette still in between fingertips ) carefully through jaxon's hair, pulling at it slightly to have their eyes meet. a thumb brushes over the male's cheek, the blood that was just unbeknownst to him transferring back onto the other's skin. ‘ tell me. ’

It was supposed to be simple: meet at the gazebo, get the crack, go home. Instead of a dealer, Jaxon was met with an ambush. There were three of them, fists flying. He was lucky to have managed to hobble home. " Matt . . . " Jaxon barely manages, mouth too loose to properly enunciate the ' t '. He pushes into the familiar weight of Matthew's palm, leaving fresh blood in his wake. Jaxon inhales deeply, thankful to be met with the tangy scent of cheap, drugstore cologne. His nose wasn't broken. " Sorry, man. They took all my shit. Can I go lay down or somethin' ? My head's bangin' like crazy. " He braces his palm flat against what he assumes is the floor, struggling to stand. " Fuck . . . "

HARRY GILBY AS KING ÆTHELSTAN IN THE LAST KINGDOM: SEVEN KINGS MUST DIE (2023)

[stakesraised]

eden had been looking over her lines for a commercial she was awaiting a callback for. there wasn't much for her to do at the moment on set, so she decided to take a quick break after refilling the punch bowl for the extras. that didn't mean she wasn't excited to be on the film set, she really was. although, fetching coffee and holding up a boom mic wasn't really what she had envisioned. she wanted to be an actor, one as spectacular as everyone in the film she was currently a part of in some way. she was fatigued, head shaking as she spoke some lines out loud. she only had two lines, but she took it very seriously. what if a director saw the pepsi ad and wanted her for a movie?

wishful thinking obviously, but eden was always a visionary. blue eyes scanned the words over and over, a voice suddenly breaking through her concentration. the older woman glanced up, doing a double take it as it felt like her heart dropped into her stomach. ‘ oh - uh, yeah of course. yes ma'am. ’ no way she was talking to the lead actress of this film, reign. one of the many actresses eden had looked up to. a tremble could be heard in her voice, before she cleared her throat rummaging through her purse for the dollar. it felt like she was searching for an eternity, before she finally found one, looking back up at the star. eden felt so embarrassed and frazzled, she was hoping it didn't seem that way though. however, the blush that crept along her cheeks was becoming more noticeable, ‘ h-here you go. ’ a shy smile pulled at her lips as she handed the money to the other.

hollywood wasn’t anything new to reign, as it seemed like she sold her soul to the devil himself just to get to the top. lately she was drained of being an actress, she was frankly tired of big hollywood executives and her agent pushing scripts down her throat. it was almost december, she craved to be at home with her family instead of being on set.

she needed a break.

upon talking to the director and going into her trailer, the actress didn’t plan on getting up for anything. she just wanted to sit in her trailer and keep to herself. not many people looked at her for genuine connection anyways, they looked at her for the “reign” she was on the tabloids and movies. a typical facade.

after about an hour or so, reign finally ran out of her bags of hot twisted curls, and her assistant well— she didn’t care to use her assistant for something so little. plus she let her assistant go home for the holidays.

climbing out of the trailer, reign was dressed in a warm leathery peacoat as she made her way to the casting area. grabbing herself some coffee, she realized quickly she was in the wrong area… this table was for extras. she could tell by all the deer in headlights looks she was given, making her severely uncomfortable. she didn’t have any security with her, she just wanted her hot chips to go.

shit. they were all out.

“yo, you got a dollar?” she asked the only person she found that wasn’t giving her any freak-like behavior, who was just simply sitting next to the table of food rehearsing her lines. she eyed the vending machine adjacent to the table, wanting to scram out of here asap. (rocky.)

slight puzzlement was evident on matthew's face, a lit cigarette dangling between his lips. he heard groaning and inaudible words coming from the hallway of the apartment complex. this would usually be nothing new as they lived in a complete shithole. however, it sounded like it was coming closer. this was a familiar voice.. the front door opened, his pondering being interrupted, concern quickly washing over him. he jumped up from the couch, the playboy magazine he was looking at tumbling from his lap to the ground. he rushed over to his injured friend, ‘ what the fu - ’ his words were muffled from the cigarette, before he yanked it out of his mouth. ‘ WHAT the fuck happened ? WHO did this to you ? i'll fuckin' kill 'em. was it those assholes we saw at the gas station the other day ? who was it ? ’ he put out his hand to caress the male's bruised face. ‘ who did this ? ’ he tried to question jaxon calmly, but his blood was boiling.
