Tumblr media
Ivan stared at the contents of his suitcase blankly, barely paying attention to what he was packing as he flicked the zip back and forth. “I didn’t think you’d be here.” He remarked, glancing over his shoulder.
“I was waiting for you-.. where’s Pixie?” Bruno asked, as though he didn’t already know the answer. “Oscar’s.” “Are you coming back, or..?” Bruno mirrored Ivan’s fidgeting, picking at the fluff on his old joggers. “I don’t know, I need t’think for a while-.. I’m goin’ away with Tilda n’ Mia for a couple weeks n’ all.”
Ivan snapped his attention back upon his luggage. It would’ve been easier if Bruno hadn’t been home, he was bound to forget something now, distracted as he was.
“Ivan, I-…” Ivan interrupted Bruno before he could continue, “Explainin’ ain’t gonna change anythin’ is it?”
Bruno fell silent, struck with inertia at the edge of the bed. He should’ve explained, pleaded, threw himself at Ivan’s feet and promised he’d never return to Oasis Springs-.. but he couldn’t bring himself to do so.
Tumblr media
“I’m probably gonna find someplace else when I get back-.. dunno what you wanna do with the house, but I don’t want it. Y’could buy me out, I guess, or we could sell it.” Ivan filled the void with practicalities that Bruno didn’t want to envision just yet.
“We don’t have to decide anything right now.” He offered, instead. Ivan shook his head, “I ain’t gonna change my mind.” Bruno thought as much, but he still couldn’t help himself from adding, “I still love you, for what it’s worth.”
Ivan paused for an excruciating moment before sighing, deflating Bruno’s glimmer of superfluous hope, “I ain’t sure what it’s worth anymore…”
“It’s not the same as before.” Bruno pleaded, “Kaden’s-…” Ivan rose to his feet, dismissing Bruno’s words with a wave of his hand, “I don’t want nothin’ t’do with any of ‘em-.. apparently, that includes you.”
Tumblr media
Bruno tugged at Ivan’s wrist before he could leave, manoeuvring himself between him and the door; his unusually calm, cold shoulder cut far deeper than Bruno expected it would.
“You don’t have to have anything to do with them-.. no one’s in any danger.” Ivan huffed disbelievingly, sidestepping Bruno’s efforts to stop him from leaving, “Keep tellin’ yourself that.” “It’s different with-…”
Ivan finally lost his air of composure, cutting Bruno off mid-sentence, “Was it not excitin’ enough for ya?  D’ya not feel alive unless y’pushin’ folk around, fuckin’ someone over-.. is doin’ whatever y’please the only thing that gets your blood pumpin’? Does it make life worth livin’?” Bruno blinked as Ivan confronted him, not quite expecting such a succinct breakdown of all his supposed failings.
Ivan’s steady gaze faltered somewhat once he’d said his piece though; his brief flash of anger replaced by sadness as he asked, “All this time-.. why’d y’even pretend, B?”
Tumblr media
Bruno avoided Ivan’s gaze for a moment, unable to form a response; he hadn’t always been pretending, but as much as he hated to admit it, Ivan wasn’t too far off the mark. He didn’t particularly enjoy the lifestyle that he’d described, but it felt a hell of a lot more natural than trying to fit into this one; he wasn’t made for domestic bliss, he didn’t make Ivan happy, nor was he. They both knew he was playing pretend by now, but letting go was easier said than done, no matter how much you loved someone. In fact, love only made things more complicated.
Ivan pulled away from Bruno, punching through the silence than hung thick between them, “I just need some space, okay? Do whatever y’want with yours.” Bruno tugged desperately at Ivan’s shirt as he turned away, “Wait-.. can we just talk about everything when you get back?”
Ivan sighed morosely, offering a weak shrug, “Sure, let’s prolong the inevitable-.. what’s a few more weeks?”
Tumblr media
Bruno hung his head as another rogue tear escaped down the side of his nose. Ivan’s demeanour felt so wearisome, so final-.. but Bruno didn’t want to let go, not that it felt fair to try and convince him to stay either.
“Don’t fuckin’ cry, B! Don’t act like this wasn’t on you!” Ivan spat, his uneven tone betraying the lump that resided in his own throat.
Bruno stuck his fingers beneath his glasses, jamming them into his eye sockets; he thought Ivan’s familiar anger would’ve consoled him, but it didn’t.
Tumblr media
“I tried, okay? I really did-.. n’ you did too, I know y’did…” Ivan added a little more softly, as though he understood; as though it wasn’t really Bruno’s fault, like he wasn’t truly angry at him-.. even though it wasn't true.
Bruno nodded; the tips of his fingers still pressed firmly against his eyes in a vain attempt to stop the pain from overcoming him completely.
“Bruno, don’t…”
Ivan tried to pry Bruno’s fingers away from his eyes, wordlessly begging him not to make this harder than it already was.
Tumblr media
He acquiesced, dropping his hands to his sides as Ivan gently caressed his cheek, his eyes brimming with a million different emotions at once-.. but that was Ivan, and that was the problem.
He hated, loved and felt everything with intense fervour, unapologetically wearing his heart on his sleeve for all to see; a heart so full of love and passion that Bruno felt inadequate in comparison. He couldn’t reciprocate any of it the way Ivan deserved; it would never be enough.
Tumblr media
Hollow and empty in contrast, Bruno could never hope to give as much as Ivan was worthy of, and he was worth the world-.. but maybe it wouldn’t hurt to pretend.
Maybe just one last time…

Dan: What’d you think of the first one?
Frances: It made the black mold in my shower look more appealing.
Dan: You right. The third one… The people in the office were kind of rude.
Frances: Maybe they had a bad day?
Dan: Maybe but damn dude, it’s not that serious. I hope we’re able to find something soon. I’m so over hearing headboards creek.
Frances: Honestly, yeah, like bro have a conversation, watch a movie, chill.
Dan: Maybe it’s to remind us how painfully single we are.
Frances: Who needs a partner when I have the power of stringed instruments and a sick glitter pen collection?
Dan: Don’t go saying that to strangers.
?: We have this unit available starting the first. It’s a two bedroom, one bath. The kitchen is a bit on the smaller side but there’s plenty of cabinet space. The living room  is spacious and you have a deck. 
Dan: And there’s a pier nearby, hell yeah. It’s perfect.
Frances: You don’t think San Sequoia is too far from Oasis Springs?
Dan: It’s a bit of a drive, besides if you land that internship, you won’t need that job anymore.
Frances: Oh, I was planning on staying there.
Dan: Wait really?
?: I’ll give you two some room to discuss.
Frances: I like it there. [ softly ] Quite a bit.
Dan: Yeah but you should have a life outside of work. Speaking of which, where were you yesterday after the audition? You came home late.
Frances: I was… With Icarus.
Dan: You mean your boss?
Frances: Dan…
Dan: Am I the only one that sees something wrong with this? 
Frances: It isn’t what you think-
Dan: I don’t know man, I have such a bad feeling especially with power dynamics-
Frances: [ exclaims ] Dan it’s fine!
Dan: Frances… What happened?
Frances: I don’t want to talk about it.
Dan: Did he touch you? I swear to god, I’ll hurt him-
Frances: [ groans ] NO! No. I think I ruined things.
Dan: How so?
Frances: I… Can we not?
Dan: Well now I’m worried.
Frances: I promise, I’ll tell you when I’m ready.
Dan: Alriiiight. 
Frances: Thanks. [ sniffles ] We can sign the lease on this apartment.
Dan: But that wouldn’t be fair to you.
Frances: Like I said, I might’ve ruined things at work so I guess I should focus on the future.
Dan: We can sleep on it if you’d like.
Frances: No. Miss, we’ll take it!
Dan: Frances-
Frances: It’s fine.

@tricoufamily's duo challenge!
-ˋˏ✄  ━━━━━━━━━━━ ⊱⚱️⊰ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⋆˚ ‧
⌞ When Heather Charm, the sole non-magical member of her sorcerous family, seeks acceptance from her mother, she forms a pact with a mysterious spirit, who promises to teach her the secrets of magic. ⌝
Tumblr media
Amidst the vast halls of the Charm family, where magic infused every corner with its presence, Heather Charm stood as the peculiar exception. Niece to the esteemed Minerva Charm and cousin to the gifted Darrel and Gemma Charm, Heather bore the weight of her lineage with a heavy heart. Branded as the family's black sheep for her lack of magical prowess, she harbored a fervent desire to redeem her honor. With determination ablaze within her, Heather delved into realms beyond conventional magic. Venturing into the enigmatic world of psychic phenomena, she sought solace and strength amidst the whispers of her family's disappointment.
Tumblr media
In a moment of audacious resolve, Heather forged an alliance with a potent spirit, binding it to her very essence. In this pact, woven from threads of desperation and ambition, the spirit pledged to guide her along the path less trodden, promising to unearth the latent power that lay dormant within her ancient bloodline. — But in the shadows of uncertainty, whispers lingered. ···································· ➺ using the psychic mod !
(@itsmariejanel I always imagined Heather as also being Jace's cousin as I played her a while back 🤭 However, it's time for her to inhabit her own universe 👋🤧)
