@investsmokz-
` ` .. can cas stay the night at your place tonight ? ` `
♧《 @investsmokz- 》 she swallowed weakly , crossing her arms . ` ` i have to work night shift and i don ' t feel comfortable leaving him alone all night and day . ` `
@crybabycarver "sure , you know you two are always welcome. is something happening?"
♧ ;; / my sweet delusional angel
` ` get out !! / out / ! i don ' t need you ! just — just leave me alone . ` `
♧《 @investsmokz- 》 curled into the corner between the motel bed and wall . primrose had tossed a soda can at the other , missing him completely but .. she tried . soda dripping down the wall behind her , all she did was curl up into her knees , holding her curls and sobbing .
@crybabycarver " .. maybe not , but do you / want / me here?" his voice was soft as he spoke , not moving closer but also not moving away. "you're allowed to want things."
♧ ;; / swimmin
` ` i ' m telling you i can ' t do it — ` `
♧《 @investsmokz- 》 how did she let him convince her to learn how to swim . she felt so stupid . she slowly stepped into the water , hands trembling a bit . ` ` okay .. ` `
@crybabycarver "yes , you can." he reassured calmly. "this water is shallow — you can't drown. it's okay to be scared , but I promise I won't let anything happen to you."
`` hm , sorry . . can't sell these to you . `` a teasing smile on face
`` maybe ~ `` a small laugh left the boy . `` besides ! would hate to see you go too soon because of these things . `` he was just beginning to enjoy the investigator's company .
@forcedbrainz "why'd we haggle if you were just gonna go back on your word?? do you exist to torture me .. ?"
`` can I watch over your dog while you work ? ``
`` that's what I meant . can I hang out with her ? `` he corrected himself , a hopeful look in eyes .
@forcedbrainz "she's plenty independent on her own." he explained in amusement. "but if you just want to hang out with my dog while I'm away , all you've gotta do is ask."
`` what ? . . .I just really like crime related shows and books . what you were talking about reminded me of a show that's all . . . ``
`` ah . . I don't know . seeing blood and stuff in real time gets me queasy . `` he mutters out almost dismissively . `` i think I want to make my own crime — mystery novel one day . writing is more fun to me . . . ``
@forcedbrainz he looked the boy over before giving a smile. "ever thought about going into the law force? they always need brains like yours."
` ` i really fucked up with cas this time .. and i have no idea what to do . ` `
♧《 @investsmokz- 》 slowly sitting down on her motel bed , bringing her knees up to her chest , she began to tear up . " man i am really failing this whole parent thing . "
@crybabycarver "at least he ran off to my place , yeah? you know where he is. he's safe , warm , and fed. you got time to figure out the rest."
` ` you — you shouldn ' t — / care / ! we aren ' t your responsibility ! ` `
♧《 @investsmokz- 》 frustration laced the woman ' s features as she held her hair , pacing around the motel like she could burn a hole straight through the floor . what was she doing ? why did she care so much ? what was she so afraid of . " you don ' t need to do this . all you need is be a detective you don ' t — / i / can take care of things here it ' s my job . i can take care of cas . ` `
@crybabycarver "you're two kids all alone in this fucked up world .. I can't help but worry. I'm not gonna apologize for that."
` ` this ? oh uh .. my — .. mm .. dad — got it for me , way back when — doesn ' t fit as a necklace so i wear it as a bracelet .. what — were / your / parents like ? ` `
♧《 @investsmokz- 》 ` ` that ' s a long time . ` ` she laughed . and she wasn ' t wrong , to her , the twenty year old . that seemed like a long time .
@crybabycarver "it's pretty." he commented with a slight smile. "my parents? meh. not anything special. haven't seen them in over two decades."
` ` you ' re kidding !! that must have sucked . ` `
♧《 @investsmokz- 》 eating at the food he brought , she was laughing now . " jesus . well atleast you get out , i would have hated that . ` `
@crybabycarver "more than you know. set off the alarms when I picked the lock too. what was I supposed to do? sit in the station all night? I have a baby at home. not my fault they locked me in."
