𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒 is wide and perhaps one of the most genuine smiles she’s felt in a long time. the very same kind that made your cheeks hurt, and to them a rosy tint rushes to her skin. she hopes he’ll NEVER stop saying these things, hopes that they could hold onto that naive bliss that seemed to cloud over them. through the good days and the bad, she wants to feel this way always, wants to feel the very same warmth and comfort she feels now in his arms for the rest of her life. the smile is followed with a laugh, one that she can feel deep within her stomach as her feet fail to touch the ground. arms lift to wrap around his neck as his kiss is welcomed, embraced, almost failing to reciprocate past the grin that failed to leave her expression.
eventually, the smile fades from her lips, softens as the gap between twin flesh is closed and all that remains is a slight curling at the corners. there were times she could look at oliver and not know what was going on inside his head, but now was not one of them. she sees it on his face, clear as the daylight outside of the house she’d grown to call home, it was love, unadulterated and unbridled, and a HAPPINESS that she’d rarely known. she wants to imagine him like this forever, wants this image in her mind until she could no longer remember her own name.
hand travels to the his cheek, silent as she continues to memorize each detail of his face. her own visage tilts, gaze wandering all over his. for a moment, she wants to cry. it’s not out of sadness, but gratuity that he existed in her life, that he loved her so deeply. it’s terrifying to think he could so easily break her heart, but this was it. it was to be oliver or she would sooner die ALONE than allow herself to feel this way about another.
❛ please don’t stop saying those things. ❜ voice finally breaks the silence, soft in nature, and she removes her hand from his cheek to return it behind his neck, her own head shifting to nestle into his shoulder. she squirms for a second, getting comfortable against him. ❛ i’m sickeningly in love with you, too. ❜
within oliver had always laid a certain amount of longing , which was usually coupled with a misguided attempt to grasp onto something that worked to cure this impossible , finite desire that coursed through him. he would search for this cure within his relationships , diving deeper than most in the earlier stages , desperately trying to cling onto something that not only made him feel comfortable , but SECURE , too. this longing plunged him in & out of perfectly good relationships with women he genuinely enjoyed , too -- women he could’ve had something special with if he had lingered a bit longer or tried a bit harder. it was an impossible longing , though -- a desperate need to find the grand idea of love he had painted in his mind as a child , yet had truly never seen in his adult life. he could not have settled for less than the notions that ran through his mind , though , not until he had seen it : the true depection of love & all of it’s imperfections , magnified & multiplied in his father’s rebirth of sorts. that longing within oliver did not lessen when he watched his father fall in love TRULY for the first time , but it had begun to shape into something more reasonable , something that made what he had here , with anna , possible.
what he had with her wasn’t free of imperfections -- they both brought their respective amounts of baggage to the table , with handsome amounts of fear of commitment for them both -- but he wanted it , wanted her , despite it , & that’s what separated their relationship from the others. inside of him now was a desire for MORE than this ideal version of love he had secured earlier in his life ; he wanted something complex , something that made him feel ALIVE as much as it did in love & that’s what he had with her. oliver felt content with anna , because he knew that he could face the troubles he had with others in the past & overcome them & grow stronger with her because of them. he felt in LOVE , but it was more than that , too ; he felt matured -- a better , more forgiving version of himself that needed her & liked it rather than feared it.
❛ i won’t , ❜ he assures , tone soft. his lips tug into a smile to match , & he feels -- physically feels -- the warmth of love in his body when she moves her hand back to its original spot. his own digits smooth out the fabric of her dress as she moves against him , sure that this is perhaps the most content he’s ever been with any one person. he doesn’t want it to end , wants it to go on & on , time frozen at this exact moment for all eternity. this is all he’s ever wanted really , to love & be loved in this form. what he had been longing for was her. ❛ i like you being here , with me. you don’t make me feel alone. sometimes with people , you can feel alone , sometimes more than you do just by yourself , you know ? but not with you. i just feel good with you here. ❜

Do you ever just love the character you write so much? Like I like all the ones I write but I have two that mean so much to me. It just hit me a few minutes ago. To those of you that love your muses and gush over them that’s really great. Keep gushing. Keep writing. If they’re important to you than let them be important.

THE FEELING OF HIS LIPS AGAINST HER SKIN both takes her back twenty years & makes her feel more present , move alive and feeling than she ever had before. pure contentment raptures her features, gentle hum rumbling in her throat as he traverses her skin with kisses ; the grin she wore all the while remains as he pulls away. it occurs to her that in spite of the sadness she felt at having missed out on twenty years of him, of being together, she was excited still to trace back where he’d been: to hear the STORES on how he’d eventually come to be the version of himself stood before her today. the version ready to start a life together, the version ready to stay. though she’d always mourn the years LOST between them ( years which, in truth, maria knew could likely never have happened with any success ) , the notion of the rest of spending the rest of their years TOGETHER more than soothed the ache in her chest.
❛ i think i can live with you bein’ veggie, it’s no dealbreaker, ❜ she offers in sweet & teasing reply, electricity sparking on her skin where his fingers had been, moving her hair away. a hand lifts, absently, to rest on his countenance, fingers stroking gently the expanse of his cheek, the soft lines emanating from his eyes. shoulders shrug. ❛ honestly, i dunno if i can have ‘em either, at this point. we can test out if we can later. ❜ a chuckle pours from her lips, cheeks dimpling at her own joke —– twenty years had changed much of her, though they’d left her sense of humour untouched. ❛ well, if we ever wanted t’ have ‘em —– i dunno, there are other ways. GOD … this is weird. ten minutes ago we hadn’t kissed in twenty years an’ now you’ve got me thinkin’ about babies. and you run. and you’re like, my boyfriend. or, maybe we’re too old for that. my manfriend ? it’s a lot to comprehend. ❜ head gently bows, the grin which she’d worn before the movement lingering still as she raises her head once more. ❛ it’s weird, but i love it. i love you. i’m just… i’m so happy you’re back. ❜
it felt surreal , this -- being with her , touching her , piecing out bits of the future with her in mind. she was going to have a place in his flat , & she was going to become a permanent fixture in his life , brightening his otherwise dull existence. it had been twenty years of WONDERING --- of LONGING -- & he ended up here , with her , the way he had always felt he had meant to. what he had shared with his ex - wife had been intimate , but with maria he shared something beyond comprehension or control -- it was destiny more like , a pulling of forces that had brought them to this point. mark had never believed in something so heavily as he did their union now. their relationship had arisen from the grounds wrought with inevitable failure , maturing into something more STABLE & yet , remaining completely familiar in terms of connection. it was nothing short of PERFECTION , & the excitement he felt at discovering this shows ; a wide grin graces his twin - flesh as he leans into her touch , feeling at home with her here , even in simon’s dusty old pub. this was his home --- edinburgh , leith , HER. he felt nothing but content.
❛ me too , ❜ comes his honest answer. he doesn’t care where his life goes so as long as it does & it does with her in it. he actually fancies the notion of a couple of kids & sundays spent at shops & diy projects & all that meaningless , mundane bullshit he mocked in his younger years. all of that SCREAMED being alive & well -- of going through the motions of life -- & he wanted it. mark wanted so badly to not feel like a stranger in his adulthood the way he had in his youth , & he knew he could , especially with her. he felt present now , absolutely ecstatic to have made it this far , eager to go farther still.
❛ ah’m cuffed to be given another shot with ya , mar. honest , just the notion of ye sleeping beside me again has me thrilled. ❜ a laugh falls from his mouth. ❛ it’s been a bit , mind. ❜

SHE FINDS THE DISTINCT FEELING OF COMFORT welling inside unfamiliar, and more than a little unusual given the briefness of knowing him, though not at all unwelcome. if anything, she finds herself relishing in the natural ease that came with his company, & too the lack of bravado she found herself needing to project around him. so much of the time, maria hid behind electric grins & mile-a-minute speech that her actual SELF —– the one mark had managed to ease out of her now —– was left forgotten behind the front. grateful hands take the tea offered, soft & thankful smile cast his way as she lifts the sweet beverage to her lips. ❛ i see. he sounds like an interestin’ character. maybe one day y’ can tell me how he got the nickname, ❜ she murmurs from behind the mug, kind grin he gave her mirrored in happy return. ❛ y’ known him long ? ❜ the question falls without much thought, finding herself wanting to know more about him, despite her certainty ( and sadness ) that this would more than likely be their first & last time meeting.
after a few beats, she makes herself more comfortable on the sofa, leaning back into the material with the warm drink held close to her chest. wide eyes watch him, noting his thin form, short reddish hair, his earring, finding everything about him endearing to her. ❛ no, i haven’. i love crime stuff & pacino though, go for it. ❜ brown eyes peer at him with unwavering warmth from behind the mug.
the comfort mark has begun to derive from this near perfect stranger befuddles him. it wasn’t often that he found the will to speak the way he was speaking with her. the words just flowed from him , voluntarily & with ease , as if she was the journal he’d been needing for ages. despite the rockiness of their initial meeting , mark could not deny that he liked her a lot ; there was something about her character that just appealed to him -- something that made him feel as though he could trust her with all of his words & ramblings. she’d be a gear therapist , he reckoned.
his cigarette stained digits grasp onto the vhs of their choice & he puts it on , before rising from the ground. a grin dares to creep across his features as he makes his way back to her. ❛ tis just because he’s a sick cunt , really , ah think. ❜ mark confesses , shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly. they were best mates , sure , but mark would not be the one to deny that the true nature of his friend was beyond QUESTIONABLE. the name was fitting , & had all put washed away his actual one because of it ; only when it was him & si did he bother calling him simon. ❛ we’ve bin mates since primary. he’s a'richt bit ah don’t recommend running aroond in his circles if ah wur ye u. ❜

um, not to be corny but i love mark with my whole heart & i will always think he is one of ewan’s best characters. the way he stayed with ewan for twenty years after the original film like that was impeccable. i think mark is such an interesting & compelling character & i know why ewan is so proud of him tbh. there’s so much to him that begs to be unpacked & his character development is nothing sort of amazing. i could actually go on for ages talking abt how great mark is ( and also how awful he can be, too ).

“I think some people are just inexplicably bonded. Drawn by forces beyond their own comprehension, they have no choice but to gravitate toward one another. Destined by fate to keep crossing paths until they finally get it right.”

PLOTTED STARTER FOR RENTON - @roundourwcy
❛ alright renton, ❜ ira greets in a sour tone, likely a bi-product of an evening spent a little too wound up in liquor, more so various other substances as it happens ; a wash of grey and purple under his eyes. hands are deep and hidden in his coat pockets and his hair points out at odd angles, indicative of someone too apathetic to let it bother him. he slumps into the nearest available sofa, a stretch of ugly salmon pink fabric littered with mysterious stains, and takes a deep, futile sigh, as if hoping it would clear his lungs once and for all.
❛ —– god, i feel like shit. do you remember what we took last night ? ❜
TOO GOOD FOR SKAG , TOO GOOD FOR SKAG -- the mantra repeats in mark’s head repeatedly as he sinks into the hard ground beneath him. he feels like a waste of air as he makes an effort to turn his head towards ira while he speaks. sobriety is daring to make its way back , & mark’s body is fighting hard to resist it ; the craving for the drug has begun , making him groggy & weak. only in this state does he think that perhaps life on the other side isn’t so bad after all -- that he could truly make something of himself like tom the therapist had told him during his first ( & last ) stint in rehab . too good for skag -- it’s just a phase. right fucking on , but what else is there ? , mark thinks before realizing he’s not heard anything ira’s been saying.
❛ dae ye want some ? ❜ mark manages to say. he musters up enough energy to rise from his spot on the ground , motivated purely by skag. his fingers reach for the spoon & the belt. ❛ it’s th’ same shite we hud lest nicht , like. ❜
