where - asbury boardwalk

Wren had a free evening and had decided to watch the sunset on the beach, and while it'd been a good idea in the beginning, now she was annoyed with herself because she was walking the boardwalk in the somewhat-dark now without her mace (or her cat dagger keychain) and so when a guy tried talking her up she tried to just wave him off and telling him she wasn't interested-- but she had no luck, the aw, come on's making her grit her teeth because why were so many men such assholes.

So when she saw a guy up ahead in line at the frozen lemonade stand she headed over, hoping he wasn't an asshole too as she wrapped her arm around his middle, giving him a nudge so he'd look to her and hoping he'd get the hint to play along. "I told you to wait for me by the funnel cake stand. I can't take you anywhere, huh."

closed starter @ Tequila Cowboy with @maverick-bennett

Drumming her perfectly painted fingers on the dark wood of the table, Summer worried her bottom lip between her teeth as she watched the door of the bar. She paused her instrumental when finally it opened, a beaming smile on her lips as the face of her best friend came into view. Jumping to her feet, she ran over to Maverick and embraced him in a hug, not caring that he disliked physical contact. "Look at you," she grinned as she pulled away from the hug, taking his face between her hands. "It's so nice to get to hug you without having a guard scream at me for touching." It had been so long since she had last seen him, and she definitely needed moral support from a friend. "What do you want to drink, babe?"

"I don't know about you," she murmurs, looking at the take out menus in front of them. "But I could devour an entire pizza all by myself." She laughs. "Does pizza sound good to you?"

The next person on his list to track down was tricky, the description easily able to fit a few people. It was only the gleam from a pig in hand that tipped James off to the right guy. Jogging slightly, he ignored the way his knee seized in protest. He was already putting a lot of strain on it without his cane. "Hey, you, floppy haired kid with the pig. I'll buy that from ya. I'll give ya double what you paid. Please."

where - sweet nothing's

Today was one of the days Liza had brought Elise with her to work, grateful that she could have days like this since she hated being away from her daughter since starting to go back to work this month. While waiting for Sully to get back from his latest delivery, she was working to restock the display case, singing as she did so to entertain the baby in her rocker beside her. She paused when she heard the door chime though, and at the familiar face walking in, Liza's face broke out into a grin. "Well hey stranger."

@persephonyed

the door to maverick's modest studio apartment clicked shut, leaving behind the hum of the city outside. the lingering scent of street food and laughter trailed them inside, blending with the quiet that settled in the room. he couldn't shake off the awareness of the unspoken tension between them. he'd introduced her to his friends, his "crew," and the dynamic had shifted. he knew it, and by the way her eyes lingered on the photos on the wall, the records neatly stacked in the corner, she sensed it too. maverick hesitated, choosing his words carefully as he broke the silence. "listen, about tonight, i—I might've, you know, introduced you as just a friend. i didn't want things to get... complicated." he took a step closer, his hands nervously finding refuge in his pockets. "i just thought it'd be easier, you know? they can be a bit much, and i didn't want to put you on the spot."

@dommavmason : Hey!! You're new around here, thanks for the like! I'm Diego, by the way :-)

[sheenlux]

Sheen was in the Mentor's training room, it was late and he couldn't sleep, his tributes were entirely frustrating they were older volunteers, why would they want to listen to him? Even worse, Sheen had two friends, and his ether supplier going into the arena. Of course, he was worried more about his friends, how the hell could he pick between Alder or Abel? So he currently found himself at a punching bag, taking his frustration out on it when he heard the door open, turning to look it was.....one of the tributes? The one from Two. Taking a break, he raised an eyebrow.

"Think I'm technically supposed to report you for being in here? But with all the new security I have no clue who that person would even be that I give that report to." Stretching his arms over his head, "Going to assume you're academy so you should know how all this shit already works."

Ciara was looking over the list of acts for the day, working out the logistics of everything. Seeing one of the performers backstage, she flagged him down. "Hey, you're Maverick right? The hell does this mean by music/trick? What exactly are you going to do up there?"

[ayakoito]

Maverick poured Aya some coffee after their second meeting. It was a week since she joined and today was the day where they had to go over some presentations by the junior sales associates. He looked her over, wondering if she was overwhelmed, and finally decided to ask.

"So Aya, how are you feeling? I saw you talking to that health and wellness expert some time ago. Getting accustomed to all of this, or are you thinking of running away anytime soon?" He smiled to show he was only kidding about the latter part.

Watching him kindly pour her coffee, she pushed aside the papers in front of her and gave her full attention to her new boss. She hadn't heard from her old one, but she had an uneasy feeling that she soon would.

"Thanks," she said briefly before wrapping her finger around the handle to take a sip.

His words made her snort, laughing softly. "Oh no, I don't, as of today, plan to at all. At least I like it here so far. And most importantly, the pay is right, too."

Eyeing Maverick, it occurred to her that she had just seen him smile for probably the first time, which she found rather charming. Normally he was rather serious, hardly allowing any emotion, but perhaps he was quite different in private. Perhaps. But he was her boss, it wasn't really her place to bring up such a thing. She just didn't know him well enough.

"I'm glad I can do my part. My colleagues are very nice, so is the lady from the health and wellness team you mentioned. The fact that you hired me in the first place takes every ounce of trust. Considering what I was actually trying to do here."

au in which somebody says they saw Iceman Kazansky hugging a woman longer than necessary, and it becomes the scuttlebutt of the year and then of the year after when she goes to a Navy event with him.

By the time a third person sees them, drinking coffee together, they entire Navy is convinced that Admiral Kazansky is now married and that it should stay a secret. Between him, his wife, and the entire Navy.

It funny, because none of them know how right they are, how he's married, and has a kid who looks nothing like him but has his same temper. But, Ice thinks, while 2010 ends and 2011 begins, let them believe it's as they say, just for a little while longer.

Cowboy Casanova

Pairing: Jake Seresin x Reader

Warnings: suggestive language, some swearing

The air in the bar was electric and thick with smoke; the speakers blaring footloose as you watched a big majority of people go to the dance floor. You were sat at the bar with your best friend, talking and catching up. Your head was thrown back in laughter, alcohol coursing through your veins.

“I’d like to buy these two ladies two shots of what they’re already drinking. Add it to my tab.” You heard an all too familiar voice come up to the bar beside you. The shit eating grin of Jake seresin met you as you turned your head, a mumbled swear leaving your lips. “I’d also like you guys to come and hangout with my buddies and I, if you guys are interested.” Damn it, you forgot the pull he had on you.

You took a deep breath, immediately saying no as your friend said yes. You caught a look of confusion flash across Jake’s face before he regained his composure. “Well, we’re right over there whenever you two make up your minds.” He tipped his hat before he turned and walked away.

Your friend looked at you incredulously, her mouth hanging open. “What the actual hell are you thinking? He’s fine as hell!” She looked at you as if you had two heads, waiting for your answer. She had you by the arm as she pulled you away from the bar.

You just shook your head and sighed, looking back at her. “Him and I have history. It’s.. complicated.” You didn’t want to admit that you fell for your on again off again friend with benefits, but it had happened. Then, he had left with the navy for almost a year, and you hadn’t heard from him since and you were a tad bit jaded about all of it. “He’s just bad news. Trust me on this.”

She just gave you a look, debating on asking before she just shook her head and accepted the answer. “Well alright then. But, I’m telling you right now he can’t keep his eyes off of you.” Your friend was now facing the opposite direction, her gaze directly on Jake and his friends before she saw you try and slap her playfully. She just laughed, winking at you before she walked off to the dance floor.

You let out a small sigh as you decided to turn around, your gaze immediately meeting Jake’s as he motioned you towards him, mouthing “come here.” You hesitated for a second before walking towards him, leaning against the wall beside him.

His bigger frame was soon in front of you, his arm placed against the wall above your head as he leaned in towards you. It was his favorite position to have you in, especially in busy places like this. “Well, hi darlin’.” The way he called that was enough to make your knees weak, your voice catching in your throat.

“You look good. The navy is treating you well.” You decided to skip the small talk and get into a rhythm of banter that you were more familiar with. You felt his green eyes staring into yours, your bottom lip pulling between your teeth before you said your next words. “I bet you have girls throwing themselves at you in San Diego.”

He just chuckled and smirked, a cocky glint in his eye. “I mean, I do. But, there’s something about this damn girl in Austin. She’s all I can ever fucking think about. No matter how long I’m gone.” His lips were close to your ear now, closing in on the sensitive skin right under your earlobe. It caused you to gasp, balling his shirt up in your fist as you let out a small squeak of pleasure. “And tonight she’s playing hard to get.”

You swallowed thickly, practically melting into his touch as he moved his free hand down to push your shirt up a bit. He moved his fingers to the exposed skin of your hip, drawing circles with his fingertips. “Y-you’re lying.” You managed to squeak out before he chuckled again, moving his lips back up to your ear.

“Sweetheart, if you haven’t noticed what you do to me yet, you’re blind.” His voice was husky and laced with lust, his lips moving to ghost over yours once, twice, three times. “You drive me absolutely insane.”

You let out a groan of frustration, standing on your tiptoes to let your lips meet his. “I want you all to myself. Especially tonight.” The words left your lips with a hint of desperation, Jake chuckling and smirking as he pulled away from you.

He reached up and took the cowboy hat off his head, setting it down on yours. “All you had to do was ask, baby girl.” Your eyes scanned over him as you heard the words he told you the first night he met you. You wear the hat, you ride the cowboy. Not that you ever had a problem with that. In fact, everytime you saw him you managed to steal his hat for that exact reason. “Now, get your friend home safe. Then we’ll meet up tomorrow. Keep the hat until then. I want everyone to know you’re mine.”

You smiled as you readjusted the hat on your head, running your hands down his chest briefly as you decided to get him even more riled up. “I mean, I gotta abide by the hat rule now. The hat stays on during that, by the way.”

“Trust me, I 100% agree. That hat is staying on all night tomorrow.” He sent a wink your way before you felt his fingers on the waist band of your shorts, a piece of paper being slid between your underwear and your waist band. “Oh, and when you can’t stop thinking of me later, there’s my phone number.” You swore under your breath as he pressed his body against yours before he winked and backed away, leaving you sexually frustrated and aching for him.

Oh, you definitely would be using that phone number later.
