sydcarmy | single dad!carmy | 8/? chapters
For months, she’s been tugged towards a life she once told herself was off limits, long since abandoned for the sake of a stable career and decent working hours. She wants to blame Carmy for her change, and in some ways, he is to blame, but she also knows in a deep place she wishes wouldn’t pipe up so often that this wouldn’t have gone as far as it did without her contributions. Carmy may have planted the seeds, but she was the one who tended to their fucked up garden of fantasy. And now there was no more hope for quieting down the impulse constantly tugging at her, no more grinning and bearing it, waiting to hear her class assignment for the next year and meeting with first grade teachers to talk over transition in the last few months of school.
*The pharmacist was visibly shaken by this question. Their heartrate shot up like crazy. They recognized this voice. The voice that had… somehow… called them before.*
*Trembling, they took out their phone, only to find nothing at all.*
H- huh…? What the…
*If it wasn’t their phone, then… where was his voice coming from?*
*...*
*Suddenly, they felt uneasy. Their breaths quickened.*
*Hearing the sound of footsteps, they widened their eyes as they looked up to find…*
*Wade talking loudly to other people in the bar, mainly Logan on a night out after they had a hard mission that day*
*Logan just listens pretending to hate it as usual*
*As it gets later more people come into the bar and eventually there are so many people*
*It's really loud in there but Logan was still listening to Wade and was surprised when he suddenly stopped talking*
*And for the first time Logan looks up to see Wade on the barstool next to him just staring*
Logan: Hey bub, you okay?
*Wade just turns his head to Logan and nods with a smile that doesn't even reach his lips properly*
*Logan shakes his head*
Logan: What's wrong bub.
*Wade stares at the bar counter top and Logan nudges his arm lightly*
Wade: *leans over to Logan and whispers very quietly (most wouldn't hear but Logan has his senses)* It's... Too loud.
Logan: *slightly confused* You can take gunshots right next to your ears but this is too loud.
*Wade looks down again embarrassed*
*Logan realises that was kinda a insensitive thing to say*
*He puts the money for their drinks down on the counter and puts his hand around Wade's shoulders gently leading him out of the bar and Wade just kinda leans his head against Logan's shoulder*
