if   there   was   one   thing   about   mai  ,    it   was   that   she   loved   surprises  .   she   loved   the   idea   of   someone   going   out   of   their   way   to   plan   something   they   knew   the   other   would   like  ,   the   idea   that   someone   valued   another   person   enough   to   go   the   extra   mile   just   to   see   them   happy   …   —   however  ,   being   patient   enough   to   enjoy   said   surprise   proved   to   be   an   issue   for   her   every   time  .   she   tended   to   get   ahead   of   herself   in   her   excitement  ,   asking   too   many    questions   and   making   too   many   guesses   that   would   ruin   the   whole   thing   should   she   wear   down   whoever   it   was   that   made   the   plans  .   she   often   found   herself   liking   the   buildup   to   the   event   more   than   the   event   itself   due   to   the   absolutely   sky  -  high   anticipation   that   tended   to   build   in   her   mind’s   eye   (  which   is   not   to   say   that   she   didn’t   still   enjoy   the   surprise  ,   in   the   end  ,   but   setting   such   high  ,   imaginary   expectations   in   her   head   almost   always   left   her   with   some   degree   of   disappointment  )  .   “   oh  ,   c’mon  ,   benny  ,   ”   she   whined  with   a   pout  ,   puppy   dog   eyes   on   full   persuasion   mode  .   “   give   me   a   hint  ,   hm  ?   pretty   please   with   a   cherry   on   top  ?   ”   her   eyes   narrowed  ,   suspicious   that   he   was   trying   to   distract   her   with   his   delicious   smelling   lunch   —   it   was   working   —   but   she   nodded   anyway  ,   puffing   up   her   chest   haughtily  (   honestly  ,   where   she   gets   the   misplaced   pride  ,   she   couldn’t   tell  you  )  .   “   i   can   handle   spicy  !   i’ve   got   taste buds   of   steel  !   ”   once   again   leaning   forward   to   this   time   taste   his   meal  ,    mai   had   half   a   mind   to   reach   across   the   table   to   steal   the   whole   bowl   for   herself  .   “   no   wonder   you   weren’t   blown   away   by   my   food   —   you’ve   had   that   steaming   hot   bowl   of   liquid   comfort   in   front   of   you   this   whole   time  !   ”

as she visibly contemplates,      benny patiently,      eagerly waits by poking the inside of his cheek with his tongue,      because he was totally normal about knowing that he had just asked to spend almost a whole day with mai.      he wasn’t being too blunt,     right?     he wasn’t being too pushy,     right?     was it too obvious he wanted to spend time with her?      …was he imagining things or were her cheeks flushed?      he wasn’t blushing,     wasn’t he?!      and her answer comes at the right time,     his overthinking nature now relieved as his smile began to match her own.     even though hers was prettier.      “     well,     ”     he pauses,     mind barely thinking over his schedule when he was currently cheesing over the thought of actually spending more time with her     —-     thank goodness he knew how to keep his emotions at bay!     “     lucky for us,     i happen to be free tonight,     ”     he nods,     casually dismissing a meeting he’s supposed to be at seven sharp at his agency.      he did hear them mentioning to his manager that they could reschedule it if he couldn’t make it,     anyway…      “     as for the ‘something else’,     i suppose you'll just have to wait and see.     it wouldn't be as exciting if i gave away all my secrets too soon,      now would it?     ”     his tone is light and playful,     matching the beaming mood she had set.     “     but that means we will have to finish these,     ”     he refers to their meals with a nod of his head,     hand returning to take a hold of his spoon,     “     before we can do all that unless we ditch��--     wait,     do you want to try this?     it’s gochujang pork broth,     it’s a bit spicy but i promise it’s tolerable,     ”     once he had scooped some of the broth,     he carefully holds it out to her direction with a hand at the bottom to prevent it from spilling from the spoon and on her,     “      and if you don’t like it,     tonight’s mackie will make up for it,     trust.     ”

closed starter for @leylayilmz & @bellstrom location: golden hour beach bar

The bar heaved with people in costumes, drunk and letting loose. Gabe didn't know Briar could throw down like this, and he had to admit he was impressed. The place was popping, and everyone had put in so much effort with the outfits. He had chosen Jason from Friday the 13th to add horror to the night's festivities. Girls found slasher dudes hot, right? That's what Gabe argued when he received a few stares.

It had been a few hours already, and Gabe was already tipsy, texting Benny frantically to get his ass here. His mask lay discarded on the table as thumbs continued to tap his screen, pestering his best friend. He had agreed to some dumb trick-or-treat thing with a local mom and her kid. The thought of which made Gabe shiver. The idea of kids had always terrified him, yet his best friend was running around playing daddy. A far cry from the Benny of the Chicago days.

He felt someone hit his shoulder, and he turned to see a woman in a suit with what appeared to be an inflatable alien by her feet—the things you could only see on Halloween. "I think you dropped your buddy," Gabe teased, holding up the alien. His eyes finally took her in, and a smirk spread over his lips, dimples showing. "Women in black, huh? Sexy..." There was something undeniably attractive about a woman in a suit, the power. "Can I get you a drink?"

Ohh I've just had an idea for a very angsty blue skies sequel (which I won't elaborate too much on for fear of spoiling the plot) but 👀

starter for: @bellstrom location: on one of the outside balconies of the resort, towards the end of the night

The ballroom was beginning to feel a little stuffy, and with all the noise, there was a small headache just beginning to pound in the back of Val's head. Grabbing Alex's jacket, she threw it over her shoulders before excusing herself for a moment to get some air. Stepping out onto the balcony, she immediately moved towards one of the standing heaters that looked out over the beach behind the resort.

She didn't hear the noise behind her and didn't realize someone else was out on the balcony as well, until she happened to glance behind her and saw a tall, lanky figure leaning against the wall, the tiny pinprick of light from a cigarette barely illuminating his face. "¡Ay dios mío!" she reached up to clutch her chest as her heart raced, catching her breath only when she finally recognized the man. "Benny! ¡Me cagaste de miedo!" She shook her head as if shaking off the scare and moved to approach him. "What are you doing out here, all broody and alone?"

But before he could answer, she cut him off. "Actually, you know what, before that," she waved her hands in front of her as if to stop him from speaking, "I've been meaning to talk to you for weeks now!"

Reaching up to poke him in the chest, a feat much harder than it should be thanks her shorter frame, she glared up at him, "¿Qué carajo was that stunt you pulled at Halloween, hmm?"

@bellstrom BR New Years Eve Bash The only logical adult way to let go of the recent holiday tension was obviously to make sure that Nia didn't let a second pass of tonight without a flute of sparkling alcohol in her grasp. Doing so on a mostly empty stomach, because she had been running around making sure last minute details were taken care of. Her head was a buzz, but she hadn't been stood still for barely a second all evening it felt like. "Shit, can you just..." with little to no attention paid to the poor soul in question at first Nia stopped in her tracks and used his sturdy shoulder in passing to balance while she adjusted one of the straps of her sparkling heels. Only once she was satisfied it'd stay in place did the woman chance a look up, "Sorry I—" her apology stopped short the second recognition settled in, and instead a warm mile wide smile danced into place. "Oh. Hell, never mind. I'm not that sorry now." A playful laugh colored her tone, "Thank you. You're a very good support beam." Oddly steady on her feet despite she was clearly a little inebriated, Nia took a step back as she blinked up at him. "Are you enjoying yourself? You're not hiding in a corner with a book?"

001. heath & benni @devouredxmuses

Heath pulled up in front of Benni's residence and got out of the car, leaving it running as he leaned against the passenger side door. They had much to discuss. And seeing as he'd gone on his first investigative dive without his partner in crime—or perhaps his partner in revealing the truth—this time he'd made a point of picking her up.

When she stepped into view, he threw one hand up in a lazy wave, then gestured to his car and circled around to get back in the driver's seat. It wasn't a nice car by any stretch of the imagination, but it was his, and that made it special in its own right.

"So, like I said, I don't know much so far about what these assholes are up to, but I figured we could take a better look together." It wasn't much of a hello, but he still felt bad for forgetting to invite her the first time around, and wanted to get right into the action. "I'm thinking old-fashion stake out. You bring a disguise?" he asked, jokingly as he threw the car into reverse and peeled out of the neighborhood toward the building he'd only semi-scoped out beforehand.
