fleet (v) : to cause time to pass usually quickly or imperceptibly

To Oliver, Adam is complex.
To Adam, Oliver is simple.
And that's how they make a fool out of themselves.
--
Oliver is a mess of long limbs. A game no one ever finishes - level after level gets harder, level after level there's an increasing amount of frustration, sighs and fatigue. She's always running, and she is never caught. Even the wind is wheezing trying to hold her by her ankles. And she laughs loud and smiles wide, adrenaline pumping through her blood and impulse is her gas, with feet always itching to keep going without a destination in mind. Everything is a blur when she wants it to be focused, but what is there to do? She isn't reckless, more like doubtful. Because she hurts people and people hurt her and if she runs fast enough, the pain will never be able to catch up.
Adam knows what he wants. And what he wants, he gets - most of the time. His eyes are calculative, and his tongue knows words that command, words that plead. With a face you can trust and hands so soft they feel right, he slithers in a way you never notice. Time, to him, is only relative, so he saunters too much for his own good. Consequences are just challenges he's always ready to take head-on. There is pleasure in seeing the future - what will happen, what might happen, how can he adjust it or adjust himself right into it - and he never fails to prepare and dive right in. That was who he was. There was always an intention. He never fails. God forbid he fail. If he does, he just might bring hell on Earth.

He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued.

Revolution- Runaways 3 [EDITING]
The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.Complete

Can he show her a better way to handle her grief? Can she learn to trust him? Will his mesmerising smile be enough? Will she discover what having the best life really means? ________________________________________ I have issues. Lots of them. But I'm mostly angry. I'm too much for most people. Just the way I fucking like it. It's much better for everyone to just stay the hell away from me. My safe happy angry life. So why does the universe insist that we keep crossing paths? And why does he insist on fucking smiling at me every single time? ________________________________________ I have to admit, when I first laid eyes on her at the bar, I could barely breath. She was stunningly beautiful without even trying and although she left without saying a word, the way she looked at me with those pretty eyes had me hooked and wanting to be able to see her again. I wondered about the who, what and why she felt like she needed to run like that. Her obvious defence tactic is that angry scowl she wears like armour, protecting herself from any harm and dissuading anyone from attempting to get too close. I plan on getting as close to her as fucking possible, if she'll just stop running.Complete

Unconditionally
"What I was suppose to do? You left me, you went to Arizona." I shout at him as he storms away. "Wait for me." He shouts and I go mute. Did he really just say that?

falling through forever
"I've only died three times-or at least, that's all I remember. The truth? It could be a hundred. Maybe more. And each time, it's terrifying. It's not some gentle fade into light; it's a cruel, ripping pain that leaves me gasping, only to wake up somewhere new, as if the universe is punishing me for not staying in line. Every death feels like a price I'm paying for something I shouldn't have done-something I shouldn't feel. Asher Lively is that price. He's the wrong path I keep taking, the gravity I can't resist. Falling in love with him isn't just forbidden; it's a death sentence. I don't know why-why it's wrong to want him, why the universe keeps tearing us apart. But the pattern is clear: every time I try to hold on to him, I lose everything. It's not just the dying. It's the knowing. Knowing we can't end up together, no matter how much I want to. Knowing that loving him feels so right, but comes at the highest cost. Maybe we're only meant to exist in those fleeting moments, between lives, between deaths. Maybe that's all we'll ever be-almost."
