soft gestures ft. @dreamse
15 + 18 = trace their scars + kiss their knuckles
he's been tender with her a hundred times before, maybe more. yet butterflies still seem to flutter in her tummy, the heart she once thought to be made of ice skipping a beat as warmth spreads throughout her chest. if there's one thing cleo knows for certain, it's that she loves angelo. knows she always will. there's not a day that passes that she doesn't kick herself, that she doesn't wish she could feel more ready for lifelong commitment. but there's still part of her that thinks she's a curse, that tells herself there's no way she's meant to have something that lasts. but when he traces her scars that he knows every story behind with a touch that has her craving more, she can't help but to gravitate closer. " i don't know if i'll ever be able to quit you, " she whispers, gaze locked on his every move as familiar lips brush over busted knuckles. truth is, she doesn't want to, even if deep down she knows it would be kinder on the both of them. free hand comes up to rest on his cheek, fingertips moving to trace the outline of cheekbones, the line of his jaw, under his chin and guiding him until her lips linger dangerously close to his. " sometimes i think the thought of never seeing you again is the only thing that keeps me here. " an admission that speaks volumes but it's true⸻ she's a runner, always has been. yet each time she packs a bag to leave, the idea of what could still be keeps her feet planted firmly on the ground.

reid + val — things you said too quietly
[ @dreamse ]
chapter fifty-nine: how to save a life.
“i think it’s dangerous ,” there's a flicker of candle light from the night , dwindling low on it's last flame as she lay close to him . chest to chest , fingertip running random shapes across it as she listens to feel his heart beat underneath , “how much i love you .”
how she let herself care and be cared for for once. how when she wakes up in the morning, she's not filled with dread, but a sense of protection like he was meant to keep her safe. like he'd never hurt her the way savannah had hurt her and all of savannah's boyfriends in between.
"i'm scared one day that i'm going to leave you," death seemed to be the only option for as long as she could remember. the years between the days she was born and the time she found out her dad , wasn't really her dad . and monti wasn't the person she thought he was .
but he was , wasn't he ? the dad she was meant to have , the dad she never deserved . never forgave herself for the last voicemail she ever left him , telling him how much she hated him for leaving her . for wishing he was dead.
just to find out he was.
all the nights spent alone in the treehouse, wondering when the last time would be the last time. thinking of all the ways she could let herself off easy and be done with it all, to stop feeling the pain. to stop feeling at all.
just let me die already, she had said to val once. she'd never said that out loud before. it was always in her head, through her actions. the obscene amounts of alcohol, the drugs she would take to numb herself until she blacked out, stealing corey's keys that night just to crash it into a nearby tree.
and still, she survived that and she never understood why.
"and i don't want to," but raising a baby? how the hell was she supposed to do that? how was she supposed to love someone the way she was never loved? the way savannah would try to make her forget how monti had loved her all those years before he was gone?
"but i might have to."

@dreamse send a 📸 to see three pictures that my muse has taken of your muse / kinsley and beckham
1 . during a beach party in town , they weren't together anymore but he'd still look out for her in every single event . he never really liked the party scene and her company always made him relax and think of anything else that's not the growing crowd around him so he's always looking for her . she just happened to look extra beautiful that night , make him regret fucking things up and almost kiss her during the sunset before a voice in his head told him to keep his distance and he listened again / 2 . she looks so grumpy in that one and that was probably because he was late to pick her up for a walk , which was probably his own fault , spending too many minutes staring at himself in the mirror and preparing himself to see her again outside a party / group situation . had to work his brain into knowing that it wasn't a date and that he shouldn't make it a habit out of hanging out with her like they used to , but he was too damn happy to think about that after he found her pouting in front of her house . brought her coffee as an apology but clearly it didn't work that well ( at first ) / 3 . during the time they were together , driving into a town a few miles away to catch a beach day without the curious eyes keeping tabs on what they were doing and saying . probably spent the entire day away , had lunch with her in that town , grabbed dinner on the way back and ate in the car before they spend almost an hour parked in front of her house cause he didn't want to say goodbye knowing he'd go back to australia the next day .

“ casey ? ” tone rises slightly at the end of his name to signify how genuinely confused she was to see him standing in this room — surrounded by her father’s colleagues , supporters , and whoever this female was next to him . eyes glance away from features briefly , just to get a better look at her . “ what are you ... ? ” doing here , with her , is what she means to add but he already knows that , doesn’t he ?

“ baby , i’m home . ” he calls out while allowing his jacket to melt from his shoulders , tossing it onto the back of the couch as he moves through the apartment with practiced ease . can hear the shower running in the distance and doesn’t think much of it , paying more attention to the pit in his stomach that begs for something more than a cigarette and cup of coffee . so he heads toward the freezer and grabs a frozen pizza , carrying it over to the counter to place it on a pan but before he can finish the task , a piece of mail catches his eye . at the top in bold letters read jacinta’s name and right above it , the hospital up the street . while normally he wouldn’t pry in his girlfriend’s business , he couldn’t help but indulge in the contents out of sheer concern . but even has he read the letter once , twice , five times over , it wasn’t making any sense . none of it . so rather than jump to conclusion and feed into this feeling of deception , he went straight to the source . “ what is this ? ” he swallows thickly , holding the paper up between two fingers as he leans into the doorframe of the bathroom .
