a concoction between a chuckle and sigh slips from gideon's mouth as he turns to face his wife , eyes warm , his gaze dips from her to the tool box and back. ‘ yea , thats my bad ⸻ it's the claw looking thing , red handles. ’ explanation comes as he makes his way over to her picking up the tool in question. ‘ you might not have a clue about what you're doin' but i'll take you over hendricks' ass any day .. ’ jest follows , second nature to him , but there is no untruth to his words . he would take evie over .. well , anyone.. any day. stepping closer , calloused hands reach to brush the stay lock of hair hanging in her face behind her ear. lips quirked up in a saccharine smile but the worry that inches through his veins and is etched into the lines of his face is all too evident. the tension in the air palpable , still. mere hours ago they had been deep asleep , should be for the next seven years if it hadn't been for the unexpected and devastating solar flare that shook them awake and left their ship in tatters. ‘ y'know , best thing about waking up early is definitely getting to see your pretty face again. ’ words are honey dipped in sugar , single finger beneath her chin tilting her face up to him as he speaks.

the stars floated past the small window towards her left , nothing more than tiny blips of light --- what must've been light years away and evie supposed that soon they'd all be heading north into that pit of darkness . she wasn't frightened , space travel was the job but all of this it was supposed to be good . a new start at life , leaving a dying wayland - yutani rotted planet before it all collapsed on themselves and they were the lab rats . it was far better than waiting around to die though . " you want me to pass you the what now ? " digging back around through the metal toolbox beside them , she's got no clue what he's actually asked her to find and what it looks like . evie was arguably the smartest person on the ship but her knowledge was with numbers , with biology . not anything mechanical . " describe the general shape better they are all silver . "

he had buried an empty casket , three years ago when the only person carlos had come to care about — since his teenage years — was violently ripped from him. endless days and agonising nights spent in denial , mourning , heartache. gone were the days of effortless smiles and silly banter , because she had taken them with her when she had died. too many times had he played out the scenario of her homecoming. never did he think he would be able to see it actually play out. he approaches her slowly as she calls him out , the sound of his footsteps coming to a halt once he gets close enough , but not too close as to crowd her. ‘ just wanted to check on you , you've been in here for a while ... thought maybe you could use some company. ’ tone is casual , but the worry that has made a home of him doesn't allow for very much more.

" you're hovering . " jill states , gritting her teeth and biting back anything snippy that floods through her mind . after being pronounced dead for three years , it was understandable why carlos worried --- why he hovered . jill hadn't been cleared for work , again , and she was growing more impatient by the day waiting for her life to flood back into some normalcy . her side was still traced with hints of yellows and blues , the long ever - lasting reminder of her time away from home . now she's exhausted , wrought to the bone with her fists still wrapped tight in gauze as she'd spent far too long punching the damn punching bag down at his work's gym . " i can feel you staring at the back of my head . "

his grin spreads wider , rough chuckle vibrating against her fingertips as she touches his chest. ‘ oooohhh ... he wouldn’t stand a chance against you. ’ he teases , his voice low , full of warmth. he wraps his arms around her , pulling her in closer , savouring the feeling of her body against his after what feels like an eternity passed in cryo. his hands slide down to the small of her back , holding her in place. ‘ three years might as well have been three lifetimes , ’ he murmurs against her lips softly , brushing his nose back against hers , pulling back only a little bit to get a better look at his wife. ‘ guess our solar flare just didn't want us to go another four without seeing each other. ’ he offers pecking her lips once more before stepping back , properly this time. ‘ just wish it hadn't made such a goddamn mess of everything else. ’ frustration and worry lace his words , not voicing the fears currently occupying his mind.

evie could crunch numbers like it was no one's damn business , to a point where her brain almost seemed too good to be true but the variety of tools in front of her all looked the damn same far as she was concerned . and that's why they all needed him , who else would put up with her late night rambles or maintain the well being of the ship ? in that order exactly . " i'd hope so , you did decide to marry me after all . hendricks isn't going to warm your bed at night and if he tried too , i'd have to beat his ass . " the brunette snorts , arms crossed over her chest with a bright smile plastered all over her face . cryo sleep hardly felt like more than a good night of sleep , with the edges of a hangover in the morning but evie knows with the current trajectory of the ship it'd been three years since she'd felt the warmth of his skin against hers , got to hear his gruff voice against her ears . her hands drop from her chest , shifting upwards to fall upon his chest sulking happily in the heat beneath her finger tips that she had unknowingly craved in their years apart . only feet apart but it felt like galaxies stuck in cryo sleep . " yeah , don't i know it cowboy . " evie quips , standing on her toes to kiss him proper . nudging her nose against his , her eyes flutter open but she doesn't step back . " it's been far too long . "

‘ well, i feel like enoughs happened over the years for me to assume as much , rach. ’ to say they'd left thing off on a bad note would be putting it lightly , but the fact that she showed up here meant something , even if he didn't yet know what exactly. ‘ just around huh ? ’ smile hooks itself into the corners of his lips and tugs upwards , amused at her ever so honest thoughts. ‘ it's obvious ⸻ you missed me. ’ tone is teasing , a little smug , as he's unable to help himself. adding a quick , ‘ i kinda missed you too. ’

" i never said that i hated you ... you were always happy to make that assumption on your own , micah . " but what was she doing there ? they didn't actually know . it felt like forever since they'd seen each other face to face and perhaps , seeking him out was a mistake . " i was around and ... we left things off weird last time . i can see this wasn't one of my better ideas . "

brows furrow and eyes narrow into slits as grayson looks over at the brunette , sporting an unimpressed and frankly confused look on his face. ‘ yeah , i don't fucking think so , bells. ’ he laughs at the idea , shaking his head. ‘ she was fun the other night , but that's pretty much it. ’ tone almost offended she would even suggest such a thing.

" you're not like ... in love with her are you ? "

carlos’s expression softens as he looked at her , a familiar warmth in his eyes that comes from years of being married. ‘ jill , you’ve never embarrassed me ... not once. ’ his voice firm but tender , the way it always is when he needs to remind her of something she seems to forget. he steps closer , reaching out to steady the punching bag that sways between them. ‘ you don’t need to do this alone , you know ? i’ve always been here , you just need to talk to me. ’ sigh slips passed his lips , hand lingering on the bag for a moment before he lets it drop , his gaze still fixed on her. ‘ they’ve got me running around on god knows what. they’re tight - lipped as usual. ’ he shrugged , trying to inject a bit of lightness into his tone. ‘ but that doesn’t change anything. ’

he'd been by her side when the world had fallen apart . it had been the two of them through thick and thin but it had been her mistake to take the risk , to refuse to settle because neither of them were those kinds of people . sitting in an apartment all day ? residing herself to a boring desk job ? none of that was in the cards for jill at least , it wasn't supposed to be . jill had been lucky they ever let her leave that facility , that even with a foggy mind --- unable to determine which memories were real and which weren't that she could crawl back home to him . " i didn't want to trail you like a lost dog . " it felt embarassing , she worried that she embarassed him --- like she was some child that needed to be hand held through the day . turning to face him , the punching bag lightly swings and taps the hand she'd pushed back to catch it with a soft thud . " still got a few things to do ? they won't tell me what they've assigned you too these days . "

‘ are you fucking high right now ? ’ his laughter fills the room as he questions his best friend. ‘ she's a fucking asshole , and i can say that with full confidence because she told me i was probably shit at eating pussy because i didn't wanna touch hers. ’ on second thought maybe he was the dick ? ‘ anyways , forget about her , you coming to my fight this weekend ? they finally managed to reschedule. ’

things would be far easier if she could just say why it all bothered her but that would be too damn hard for her to get out . isabella would prefer to wallow in her own insecurity , allow it in like an unwanted house guest and let it eat her alive . " she .... seemed nice . " from the five seconds she saw , ignoring the jealousy that had itched in the back of her mind .

shit eating grin makes it's usual appearance , barely holding back the amusement in his eyes as she blinks at him , wide - eyed and unsure . it's never the plan to get stitched up . ‘ i know you hate the blood , but don’t worry about that . i'm walking away without a scratch on this one . ’ voice is low , calm and confident as ever , he’s said it a hundred times before . reaching out he gently tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear . it's a sign of reassurance because it's a lie , a bold , blatant and quite frankly obvious lie . and he knows she knows this too , but smile on his lips say trust me . she definitely shouldn't .

isabella blinks at him , rather stupidly like someone should apply the cartoon sounds over every time she batted her lashes . " oh ... that's a lot . " it took her aback , it didn't sound that bad when he was talking about her not long ago but she wasn't certain if questioning him ever worked out in her favor . " if you want me too . i want to support you but you know all the blood . " she hated it , she hated the blood and the bruises , always gasped too loud when he took a hit but she still went every time . " i won't have to be stitching you up if things go wrong will i ? "

concentration is completely shattered the moment she feels him there . been reading the same page over and over again for the past however many minutes waiting for him to speak up . eyes finally lift , and a smile spreads on her pink lips the instant he makes himself known . ‘ fun is reading a stupid romance book on the beach . ’ explanation comes as she turns the book towards him so he can get a good look at the title . ‘ this is homework . ’ it takes all the power she possesses not the roll her eyeballs into the back of her head . ‘ alex has me reading up on slaying techniques . . ’ offence in her voice clear , brow arching at ivan as to say , like i need these . putting the book on her side table , she redirects her gaze to him as he now stands in the soft light of her room . ‘ miss me ? ’ words are gentle , teasing , smile that blossoms on her lips nothing short of sugary sweet.

he's sat on the window sill , peering into the dimly lit room letting her continue to read her book in peace before he announces his presence . the fall air is cool , spilling in through the open window and his view of her is heavenly --- obscured by lace curtains faded baby pink and the yellow hue of the bed side lamp skewing soft warmth across the soft features of her face . " you're up late . " the vampire muses with a sly grin , tilting his head to peer at the book title in hand . " anything fun ? "

laughter bubbles up at the back of her throat , mouth quirking in a half - smile , and she briefly lets her gaze fall on dimitri . ‘ what's wrong , big guy ? club scene not really your thing ? ’ dulcet tone is teasing , knowing damn well there isn't another reason other than obligation that he would set foot here , each square inch of the place the complete antithesis of who he is. ‘ maybe they'll wanna go to the library next .... ample opportunity for dry humping there y'know . ’ sarcasm tinges her words , soft laughter finally falling from her lips and a smirk follows not too soon after . though , there's no point in denying that rose would rather be out there too , carefree and drunk on the dance floor with the man she loves making a complete spectacle of herself . ‘ soon , don't worry . lissa's wearing her uncomfortable shoes again , i'll give them another ten minutes , maybe less . . . ’ reprieve is offered as she checks her watch , noting the time to see if she'll be right .

they weren't off the clock but when really were they ? he's sipping an almost luke warm beer as he watches christian and lissa dance in circles , leaning back against the bar . " when do you think they'll get bored and want to run off elsewhere ? " it was the first word he's spoken in some time , too intent on people watching and give the illusion that the two royals had some form of privacy .

chest feels hollow , the tension surrounding them heavy . his eyes dart in the direction of who she speaks about but only for a split second . their son . gaze returning to his clasped hands before him , the temptation and heartache he feels greater than any he has ever endured . heart beats erratically and he needs to take a deep breathe before he speaks up . ‘ you know that's not how this works . ’ wants to throw caution to the wind and and say fuck it more than anything . hug his son and tell him how much he loves him , for the first time . he's gotten so big and mercer wonders if he looks more like him now , if his voice sounds the same as his . to hear him laugh . ‘ i shouldn't have come . ⸻ but i . . . i couldn't stay away . ’ moment of weakness , turned to guilt . he knows he's putting both of them in harms way by being here . ‘ i should go ... 'm sorry . ’

plot : based on sally jackson and poseidon but can take routes that aren't strictly god and mortal . could be any form of immortal like vampires or some weird supernatural curse i dunno just here for the angst .

" you should ... you should talk to him . " they shouldn't be having this conversation , it had been years since she had laid eyes upon them and it killed her to realize that . there was little more between them than a shared son they hadn't known , one who could never understand that none of this was easy for any of them . " just this once . "

‘ you know i'm barely holding back from fucking you over this counter , right ? ... don't push your luck . ’

amusement flickers in his blue eyes as he watches evie , brows knitting together as she speaks , not at all buying what she's trying to sell . ‘ oh , so you're here to give me a hand , are ya ?? ’ smirk tilts one side of his mouth up , gaze roaming down her body before settling on her face again . he's been at it for hours , fighting for his life to restore the comms back to what that were . frustration over failed attempt after failed attempt eating at him . ‘ it's already taking too long to get this piece of shit working , and i think you bein' here is only gonna make it worse . . ’

doe like eyes widen as pink flushes across her cheeks , unable to hide it even as her gaze falls from him onto the project splayed across the counter . she can't fool him , rarely can even when her intentions are far from forward but he was so easy to rile up . " you ... looked like you needed some help with --- what are you fixing ? "

blush that creeps across delicate cheeks is telltale , tinging them pink with the simplest of compliments . her own body betraying her so easily when he's around it scares even her sometimes . ‘ two hundred plus years roaming around this place and you couldn't spring for some acting classes ? ’ amusement coats her words as she speaks , kicking the covers off over her legs so she can move closer . nights like these , with no patrol and minimum slayer duties are rare , reminding her of a time before prophesies and near constant death . barely remembers what it's like to be a normal girl as opposed to the chosen one , how ironic that the vampire in her bedroom would . ‘ didn't think you'd come over tonight , ⸻ i know how much you like to be out there when i'm not . ’ teases softly , getting on her knees beside him , as he takes off his boots . skin cool to the touch , smooth under her hands as she puts them on either side of his face , looking down into his blue eyes . ‘ no slayer things on the agenda tonight but theres plenty of other stuff we can practice . . . ’ delicate laughter follows as she leans down , crushing a kiss to his lips .

legs swing over the entrance to her window , always expecting to feel some form of barrier but he never does . long ago had silver began to invite him into her home , into her bed --- there was never a wall of force to bounce back upon . " you look nice . " it's her same usual get up , short night game that drapes over her so gently and all he can do is think about the warmth of her skin , how fucking alive she made him feel again . " oh , you want to practice . get all romeo and juliet about it , you can stab me and i'll play dead . " the blonde jokes , making a comical and poorly acted dead face for a moment tongue hanging out before he snaps back . " unconvincing ? " stepping further into her room , the man moves over to the edge of her bed and begins to untie his boots . " my love , i always miss you . "

‘ you mean do i want you to go and give someone else a hand ? ’ brow rises and chuckle rolls of his tongue as he buries his calloused hands in her hair , twisting the locks around his fingers before pulling her head back gently so she's looking up into his eyes . ‘ definitely not darlin' . ’ accent wraps itself around the endearment as he shakes his head . ‘ think i can find plenty for you to do around here . ’ walks her back slowly until the back of her legs make contact with the workspace behind her . fingers untangling themselves from her hair and skimming down her body to her hips so he can pick her up and sit her down on top of the table . ‘ why don't you remind me again just how much you like to be helpful . ’

the woman hums in agreement , even if he doesn't believe a word that comes from her mouth . evie's specialty and purpose aboard was determining if new atmosphere and conditions were viable for human life , researching the natural life to new planets if there were any --- she wasn't a mechanic . arms loosely chain around his waist , her head plopped onto his shoulder she cannot help but grin making some half assessed attempt to hide it by planting a kiss on his shoulder . " i could be a great hand . " for other things , she thinks nearly making herself laugh at the thought . " you want me to go bother someone else ? "
