As they danced in that empty, dimly lit gym hall, with none to criticise or see ,they were free from the chains that held them down. They could dance and sing to the beats of their hearts, like the day in the ice rink or the woods.
He was like fire, filled with love and compassion, twirling around letting the air guide him, as his steps were full of life.
She was like water, following through an endless ocean fording her own path, destroying those that doubted her as her heart guided her, making her steps were light and sure.
And as they dipped and lifted each other up, it was like a swirling tornado of hot and cold air. As they twirled around each other, pulling each other close and pushing each other away. Like their hearts verses the world. Forcing each other apart as they desperately wished to pull each other close.
But as the song came to an end, and the heavens finally looked away they knew that it would never be the same even if they wished it to be. They needed each other, to dance, to believe, to be.
But now was not the time, not for them but for the world. So as they stepped apart they decided to let the stars die, before something tried to kill it. Cause they weren't ready for the task ahead, they weren't ready to make history. Not ready to write all the desperately needed to be written, to show all that needed to be known.
Cause they were just two people with stars in their hearts wishing to reunite, they were people with a thousands of stories of tragedy hidden on their skin and a fire in their eyes. They had no armour, no skin of steel, no hearts with barricades. They were just two people wishing to hold each other, two people with souls who have never had the time. Two souls that fell at the wrong time and in the same way.
And so in that empty, dimly lit gym they knew that the right time would never come, it would always be to late or to early. But they couldn't risk it. They no longer had army's guarding their hearts or armour guarding their skin they were human. And they were carrying exhausted souls through the same streets of tragedy, carrying they same love and pain.
So as they looked at each other, hearts heavy, souls tired and deeply in love they turned away. Each walking their own path waiting for a when the time was right. But they knew that the only chance would be to look back and run to each other.
However that would be the guilt and pain they would bear. Alone and healing, wishing for another dance.
But time goes on. Even in heart ships, they will heal, cause they've survived a lot more hardships trying and failing of course. One day though they may succeed. They might get that last dance.
i love when characters are in the middle of getting down and dirty or even just a first kiss type of situation and they just-
stop and whisper "hi" to each other
foreheads touching, both in awe that something is finally happening between them and they're so in love and stupid about each other
i just- love their love
EVAN BUCKLEY WEEK 2022 ↳ DAY TWO: FAVORITE LINES OR SCENES
Miles asking Liv questions from his physics homework mid-battle because he's a multitasking genius.
Gwen referring to her main arm as her "dab dominant arm".
Noir stealing guns from goons when nobody's watching because he's not passing up on a futuristic military-grade SIG Sauer M11-A1 when he can't afford a new revolver.
Miles takes up yoga after losing another game of twister to Gwen except she's started to join him and he's since lost all concentration.
Miles no longer willing to do 'interrogations' after he got braces because the last guy laughed at his lisp.
- It’s really good to see you. - It’s good to see you.
okay but what if it's exactly chris growing up that leads them to finally talk about the Will? because chris will want to be more independent and yeah eddie will have an existential crisis about it but buck will probably be worrying even more. because eddie is still his dad, but what's buck's role now? does he still have a place in chris' life? will they still need him, now that eddie is healing and is also trying to fix his relationship with his parents? is there still room for him? what if buck worries that the Will will eventually lose its meaning and its purpose because chris is growing up so fast and they'll no longer need him. what if they talk about it.
My favourite way of buck coming out to the firefam is someone bringing in LGBTQ+ badges in and buck just goes "sick!" And picks up a bi flag and walks away while everyone else just is shocked in a range of huh? To WHAT!
never beating the sleepy allegations. they’re snoozin’

okay but the yen waking jaskier up to help scene is what tells me she’s not a morning person because only someone who themselves has a hard time waking up is going to be THAT fucking tactile. she needs to make SURE jaskier is gonna get up. shaking and patting and grabbing his face. she knows that’s how someone would need to wake HER up (no matter how much they’d lose a limb for trying). and she succeeds in waking him up, but jaskier, also not a morning person, STILL doesn’t get up and tries to go back to sleep until he gets yelled for.
which also means that if there is not a direct threat to be dealt with, yen and jask CANNOT be sent to wake each other up for things. bc they won’t. they will get there, go “oh you look comfy,” and just climb into bed with each other to sleep more. you’ll only end up with TWO people to wake up now.
Idk about y’all but both Buck and Eddie learning to move on and learn things about themselves. Moving forward hmmm 👀👀 (x)
