☆ // white night

WHO: Waver + mostly open
WHERE: Around town + Gemini
WHEN: 6/22-23
WHAT: Thornmarch (Savage)
WARNINGS: None

[i; around town]

[There was a lot he had to do today. Stalling would serve no purpose, least of all when these goddamned moogles were only increasing their efforts at intervention. In recent days he'd taken to leaving the Academy not only on time (for a change) but out through various windows in bird form. The occasional cardboard boxes and hurriedly drawn cartoon hedges out front meant the damn things were all but lying in wait for him.]

[So it was a matter of pulling the trigger before it was pulled for him, which pushed his calculations forward considerably. On this specific day, Waver could only be seen around town by those with particularly sharp eyes; ducking in and out of alleyways carrying a shopping bag full of varying items--including, if one looked closely, a small bouquet of red and yellow roses.]

[Perhaps you've noticed him in the midst of one such vanishing act, hurriedly scrambling around the corner of a building into the shadows--moments later, a moogle comes down the street and looks around in confusion before turning off in a different direction.]

[Unfortunately for Waver, the building he chose to hide behind was that suspicious store with the oddly intermittent schedule. And perhaps, as he double checked to make sure the coast was clear, something got mysteriously slipped into his pocket.]

[...There was a lot to do today indeed.]


[ii; closed to diarmuid]

['Let's do something fun tonight.' he'd offered in as casual a way as possible with his heart lodged firmly in his throat trying to choke him to death. 'Change of pace, you know?']

[That change of pace took the form of an evening on the roof of their apartment building, with an apple-based cake and a freshly made pot of tea. A perfectly calm night under the stars. Nothing odd or unusual about that. Not a single thing.]


[iii; 6/23; un: silverrose]

vital advice to anyone looking to purchase a ring for any reason whatsoever

don't let those tax evading flying rat pom-pom bastards hear about it
hoshikiri: (rough divide.)

[WAVER.

THE MOOGLES ARE COMING.

I COULDN'T STOP THEM IN TIME. DON'T DO THE THING.

THEY'RE GOING TO FIND YOU.

THEY'RE ON THE WAY

WAVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.]
twofoldfury: (13)

you know why i'm here.

[There really was no reason to doubt that this was done just for a change of pace. And Diarmuid was an appreciator of shaking things up every now and again. So he was delighted to have a dinner under starlight.

He supposed for this he'd allow Waver to be the one to cook and not make it a competition to make it to the kitchen first.]


The night is perfect for such a dinner, isn't it?

I wasn't here in time to enjoy the coming of summer last year...

[He trailed off a little, realizing that it's been nearly a year since he was granted this second chance at life as Lancer. He served tea for the both of them as he's done many times since his first arrival.]

The stars do not always need to fall to appreciate them. [Try to keep up that casual act while Diarmuid's got starry eyes looking at you, Waver. Can you resist?]
twofoldfury: (67)

[personal profile] twofoldfury 2024-06-21 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Strange. So about that staying calm, he's still got that fond look but it's mixed with a curious one.]

Is everything alright?
twofoldfury: (50)

[personal profile] twofoldfury 2024-06-21 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[yeah bud?

cuts cake cutely for you while not breaking eye contact?]


You seem nervous about something.
twofoldfury: (64)

[you'd think diarmuid would have had a better sense for them this entire time

Rather than continue to press Waver on the matter that he's very very clearly stressing over, Diarmuid just smiled and reached over to take his hand. Be calm, you high strung beloved twink.]


Then I'll listen. Tell me what you have to say, you have nothing to worry about. [Something about the air here didn't seem... dire as many matters they've stalled about have been in the past. Serious perhaps, but not world ending. Hence the smile.]

GASP!

Is that FRESH BREWED TEA I smell?
twofoldfury: (67)

[This was... starting to sound somewhat familiar. Notably so to a different time they were in a private and intimate space under the summer night sky. Because of course Diarmuid would remember something like that.

Maybe it's remembering that that made him not realize how much of a hypocrite he was about to be.]


I'm the last one you need to strive for perfection with in any matter. Mistakes and all, I will accept whatever you have to say. There are times where situations will need to be approached from careful angles, but I would hope that you have no need to with me.

[The last bit is said with a light humor in his tone, as if to say he isn't forcing Waver's hand by any means but that he can take his time and if he fumbles, that is alright. Even if Diarmuid happens to disagree with something, he will still accept it. That was... that was partnership. That was what he allowed himself for once in this place.]
fiddlestick: (oh no)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2024-06-22 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh c'mon! You can give more details than that!

Where did you propose? How long have you been planning this? Did he say yes? Do you need help with your wedding's music?
bebest: (They had style they had grace)

Is English tea more mysterious than regular tea. Is it bitter? Questions we must always ask!!

There there. Poor baby.

I'll give you more words of comfort and encouragement if you tell me what that cryptic message was about. Or I can draw my own conclusions and get REAL obnoxious about this in about two seconds.

Your choice!! Tick tock. Tick tock.

...I have a sizable number of antique rings on display if you ever wish to come take a look at them.

Flying winged rats are not allowed in my store.

...Ah, I see. You were a victim.

You have my condolences. And my annoyance. I am more than sure there has to be some sort of ethics violation around this.

Force-Wedding people... What a mad concept.
