Lavender was growing frustrated, but it was showing itself with nervous laughter each time she matched the wrong plant to the wrong name. All she knew was grains. She could name a dozen different kinds by sight alone, but she couldn’t tell which plant was poisonous. “Ugh, do we even need this? Have you learned any of this?”

A BLIND DATE AFFAIR with @aspcnx​

Asher didn’t usually do the whole dating thing. His life had been complicated enough that he didn’t need to add the drama of relationship on top of it so most cases he had a fuck buddy that lasted a few weeks until he moved onto the next so the whole blind date thing on Valentine’s Day was unsettling especially because he could be working instead of sitting around and waiting for someone named Aspen to show up. The male was taking a sip of his drink when a blonde came over and planted herself down next to him, the male cleared his throat, lifting his gaze up towards her. “Aspen?”

She fiddled with her phone, trying to come up with a smart way to start a text, but Aria had never been a good texter. She never knew what to write, and regretted everything she wrote all the time. And yet, one of the most important conversations she’d had had been over text. She couldn’t leave it that way. It wasn’t like she was any better with words, but she could try to at least look at Aspen in the eyes. She would wait for the next morning, when things were a little colder– except she had never been patient. “Fuck it,” she said, dropping her phone somewhere across the floor in her room and decided to go up to Aspen’s room. 

Aria knocked, but didn’t wait for the door to open before she called out for her friend. “Aspen? It’s Aria.” || @aspenpalmer​

she was used to hear it all in the gossip blog. she was kind of addicted to it anyway. her name had been mentioned a couple times, but she couldn’t exactly say the rest of the things had been scandalous or even relevant or true. and yet... there was this one thing. she put her phone down after a while and decided to barge into aspen’s room unannounced. it was early enough, right? eleven o’clock? “i don’t like being on the gossip blog,” she blurted out, closing the door behind her and leaning back against it dramatically. || @aspenpalmer​

THERE WASN’T REALLY A LIST SHE had that said who was coming, she just expected whoever wanted to to turn up. budni vecher wasn’t as strict with mila as it was with her mother ( she could never live up to that even if she sadly wanted to ) to her, it was just about family and friends, and fuck it, she’d had a shit week so why not? “happy to seen your lovely face here!” she hummed, holding out a glass of champagne for the other woman with a smile. “ veseli praznitsi! “

“Oh man! These things are totally rigged!” Lucas spoke, perhaps a little louder than necessary as along with a bang to the glass, he’d garnered the attention of a nearby employee it seemed. “I mean... how can the claw drop it that many times???” He’d been trying to win a bullet or toad from Mario for the best part of twenty minutes now to no avail.

     Dorian walked into the mess-hall, heading straight for inventory. He walked with purpose like he was on a mission. He wanted to check on the girl that he had found the night of the party, not that he even knew that there was a party. That particular night he spent patrolling Sanctuary, in the wee hours of the morning he discovered someone curled against the gate, rifle in hand. Just looking at her he could tell that she wasn’t doing well so he rushed her to the infirmary. Dorian felt some degree of responsibility for the girl, considering that he had been the only thing that stood between her and dying that day.

     He walked up behind her, leaning against the door frame with two glasses and a bottle of something strong in his hands. “Hey, trouble, you look like you could use a drink.” The male commented, his signature smirk on his face. He placed the bottle and the glasses down on the counter, stepping into the room and gently placing his hand on her shoulder. “Seriously though, how’re you doing?” Dorian asked, his gaze softening as he looked at her, he cared, and he wanted her to know that.

“I need your expertise on pranking our brother,” Kit said, walking into Aspen’s shop.

“Come on, let’s just go to sleep.”

Aspen wiped her hands across her cheeks and fought off the urge to throw her phone across the room. She wanted to blame the pregnancy hormones for getting so worked up about this but she knew they weren’t all to blame. Her ex was a giant asshole and he always had been, she didn’t know why it had taken her so long to see that. Thank god for Nova, though, in a time like this. Her best friend was the only person in the world that could make Aspen forget about the conversation she’d just had and focus on what was most important. The baby was most important. Not it’s horrible piece of shit father. “Okay,” Aspen replied, giving Nova a weak smile. “Let’s just sleep.” Nova made a far better big spoon than her ex ever did.

Staring at the menu in front of her, she suddenly decided that it had been a dumb choice to go somewhere different than her normal place to have lunch. This was simply the easiest place to get to on that day, eyes shooting over to someone else waiting in line, she gestured towards the board. “I don’t suppose you know what’s good here? I could definitely use some help in what to order, or what not to order.” @ofaspens​

After descending from the aqueduct, Lavender found herself breathing hard. Her body was incredibly tired, and when she caught what she swore was the scent of grass, she followed it. Looking almost like a pet lost from home, she sniffed at the air until she was certain she was closer to the dirt and grass scent that was so familiar to her. It soon vanished, but she was close enough now to the city wall to see where it was run down. The sun was nearing the horizon, but Lavender needed a break. Seeing the rows of gravestones on the other side, she grunted and groaned as she climbed into the necropolis.

Perhaps other tributes found this area. There were plenty of places to hide, and it wasn’t so scary even with the sky starting to darken. Lavender held her scythe out in front of her, moving slowly until she found a curved wall on a mausoleum. She settled in on the ground, tucked her knees up to her chin, and kept one hand resting on the scythe on the ground beside her. She leaned her head sideways on her knees, squinting as she tried to make out the strange markings on a grave nearby.

“Last first week of school,” she grins. “Okay, if you count school by school years and not semesters–” The way it made her both panic and excited at the exact same time. She dreamed of being a senior, because she wasn’t sure she would even make it this far. And yet, she made it, and with a girlfriend on top of it all, and lots of plans looking ahead. She looked up at the night sky in the roof, passing down a lit joint. “Are you scared?” || @aspenpalmer​

[burnthesagc]

sage went through the door dividing the rooms and simply plopped down in aspen’s bed knowing she would soon come home, seconds now, really. it was nice that they had been placed together without even planning it. at least she didn’t have to miss this. || @aspenpalmer​

“Don’t you think this is fun? Do you wanna save the insides so you can bake with them later?” Kit questioned. “I’m off later so I can help if you want.”

[ariabeck]

they’re standing in the middle of the dance floor when the slow song hits, and even though aria is not used to slow dancing, she brings her girlfriend closer, moving from left to right, slowly spinning in a circle, until it turn into a tight and very much still embrace. “i’m sorry...” she felt the heaviness in her heart ever since that one conversation where she had made her cry. || @aspenpalmer​
