Thought about getting you a dog, but figured you already had one. Or three. So happy birthday, T!

P.S. Make sure Roman doesn’t mistake her for a snack.

Thank’s Kai! You’re the best.

Hurt || Obsidian & Malakai

Legs moving as he kept a steady pace, Malakai followed the same path that he had run since he was a boy. Inhale, step, exhale, step, inhale, etc. Mind completely blank, he pushed harder as the breathing slowly came in more shallow puffs. Pushing himself to move a little faster, his foot found the only hole in the trail, one that he had been avoiding consecutively the last few laps, causing the instant rolling of his ankle as he went down with a flurry of limbs.

“Fuck!” he yelled, hands moving to grip at the ankle he had rolled. Tender as it felt, Kai was almost positive that he hadn’t broken it though it sure hurt like a bitch. Rolling onto his back, he sprawled out on the trail, unable to bring himself to put any weight on it just yet. “At least the ground’s dry,” he muttered under his breath.

Obsidian was still getting used to the town, but there were some things she liked about it. The area was gorgeous, the trees and the way the sun danced over the horizon. The air was clean, too and the town was quiet. It wasn’t the hustle and bustle of the large towns, but it wasn’t the rural quiet of some of the towns in the highlands of Scottland. It was a good mix. She’d found herself rather taken with a small park in town. She could often be found sitting on the bench reading over her notes for her clients of listening to sessions. 

Her midmorning quiet was disturbed by a loud yelp. The lone runner that had lapped her as she sat and read disappeared from her line of sight and she looked down to find him on the ground clutching his ankle and rolling around in pain on the still sunburnt grass. “Are you okay,” she asked as she got up and made her way over to him. Her Scottish accent was smooth and her concern sincere as she knelt down beside him. She chuckled at his wry humor and smiled. “There’s a way to look at a shite situation. How’s that silver lining?”

Secret || Tara & Kai

Her fingers drummed on the top of the table, a tuneless beat that was followed by the tump of the sole of her chuck hitting the concrete floor of the cafe. She was sitting in the back of the place, her salad already ordered and the cup of coffee already filled and emptied twice as she waited for her cousin to show up. Their standing lunch on the weekends was one of the few things she went out of her way to never miss. Even the shop couldn’t keep her away from them. Kai was like a brother to her, the same age with similar blonde hair, the pair often passed for fraternal twins. It got to the point where they just let people think they were siblings. The last names fit, they looked alike... it was perfect. 

“Another cup of coffee?” The deep voice caused her to look up and she smiled at the replacement waiter. 

“Please,” she said with a nod as he started to pour the hot beverage. 

“Would you like any creamer?” 

“No, thank you. This is good.” She said before the waiter moved on and her fingers had taken to picking up the cup. The ring on her finger glinted in the light and she considered taking it off. Typically she wore it around her neck, under her shirt, but she knew the secret would be safe with Kai. She actually kind of wanted to talk to him about it. She hadn’t told anyone but she wanted to tell him. She was almost bursting at the seams with excitement.
