Derek questioned this road trip even before Erin thought about it. The idea of doing something cross country and burn gas, which was expensive nowadays, didn't stop this idea of hers at all. She managed to somehow get him to do this the same way she got him to take her out for Valentine's Day. To make it worse, she seemed extra restless at night. Her feet itching to push him away every second she could due to the summer heat. It didn't matter about the lack of clothes. Sweat stuck to their skin and accumulated with every passing second. This slickness of his skin is probably why her kick launched the giant right to the floor with a loud thud. Derek groaned as he moved to sit up, ❝ C'mon, Erin— You're acting like we never shared a bed before...❞ // closed starter for @decadentias

Derek couldn't be more thankful for the weather being shitty. He used the snow as an excuse for being close to Erin. She'd been pretty closed off since they discovered she was pregnant; all she seemed to do was sleep and eat. He didn't mind. He isn't in his best state of mind, but he put that aside to try and be there for her. It seemed she had just woken up from another long nap. There's one thought that has been plaguing him for a while. His fingers combing through her hair, he felt that now would be a good time to get it off of his chest. ❝ Hey... What do you think about the possibility of maybe us getting married before he's born? ❞ // closed starter for @decadentias

❝ So you want to go out  to eat on a Tuesday night?! Okay... ❞ It seemed strange that she made it each a big deal. Derek looked over a few places nearby before he asked, ❝ You think you know what you’ll be in the mood for on Tuesday? I’ll make a reservation if you have certain place in mind. ❞ It completely flew over his head that Erin was asking him to take her out for Valentine’s day. The days had all become one for him since the manor came to an end. He felt proud just knowing that today was actually a Tuesday. 

@decadentias request a clueless idiot for valentine’s day

❝ Who the fuck is Flynn Ryder? ❞ he asked curiously. Derek couldn’t believe that he was entertaining the idea of wearing matching costumes with Erin. Looking up the plot, he saw that it was a Disney romance movie.  ❝ Woah, they get married at the end of this movie. Why are we going to dress up as a couple? We’re not dating, Erin, and no one is going to believe we’re just friend if we go as them. ❞   // a campy starter for @decadentias​

🕯️ (Derin)

send me 🕯️to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character.

❝ What the fuck—❞ is the only phrase that he could muster in his brain as he held the empty pregnancy test box in his hand.

Derek wasn't even sure why he had the notion to look inside of inside of the trash bin in his bathroom. He never had the inkling to check before. Surely, Erin definitely didn't mean for him to see it whatsoever, since the box was wrapped in toilet paper before shoving it in towards the bottom of the bag. Maybe it was the weight. The man wasn't some controlling weirdo that looked through his trash. It definitely felt heavier than before. He didn't want his suspicions to be correct in any way; he might have been obvious to certain things, but he wasn't an idiot.

Erin had been acting distant lately. Derek chalked it up to his own personal actions. The manor's ending still had a strong hold on him. There were some days that were better than others. The male had himself nearly convinced that he happened to be one of the unaffected ones. He learned that hard way that it was wrong. His depression caught wind to his small window of freedom and brew a wildfire in him. The weather didn't help in easing out his depression since it rained damn near every day. Erin's presence almost felt like a blur to him. Outside of random conversation at dinner and random bouts of sex, he didn't tune into the world around him.

It's why he didn't recognize her complaining about her period like she did. The random moodiness. The random texts about cravings at 3 o'clock in the morning. He should've known. Yet, he stood herebaffled by the fact that it took up for this point for him to realize that he might be a father. The scariest part to this is his inability to find the one object that would confirm his fate, the pregnancy test. ❝ —Where the fuck is it? ❞

❝ Erin isn't dumb enough to go all this way, hiding the box, and not doing the same with the pregnancy test... ❞ Derek didn't hesitate to rip open the bag, searching for the slinder object, regardless of how disgusting it was. When he couldn't find it there, he decided to search every single garbage bag inside of the house. Tearing his apartment apart trying to find the damned thing. ❝ Where the fuck would she put it if she took it here? ❞

❝ Maybe it isn't recent? ❞ The thought hit him like a ton of bricks before he stopped to convince himself otherwise. ❝ No way... She would've told me if she knew that it was serious, right? That's what we do... We tell each other things. Not just little things. It's a fucking baby— Our baby— My baby. Is it my baby? No— Fuck— It has to be here somewhere. ❞ His thoughts scrambling for another thirty minutes before he grabbed the crushed box and threw it to the ground as his eyes welled up with tears. ❝ Why the fuck would she leave the box and not the test? ❞ The only thing running through his mind screamed from the pit of darkness living inside of him. ❝ Isn't it obvious? Who the fuck would want a kid from someone like you? You can't even go a day without falling apart. I wouldn't tell you either. ❞

Not negating the voice in his mind,❝ Maybe I'm not someone whose capable of being a father, but she would at least try. She could hardly keep a secret from me and we haven't been able to keep our hands off each other since the damn wedding. We haven't talked about kids— or hell— whatever it is we are— But I love her enough to know that it's at least worth a fucking conversation and that she wouldn't do this to me. Hiding it from me just because— ❞

It's almost like thinking of the word love and Erin within the same mental conversation caused her to spawn. If Derek could count the times that it happened, he'd be a billionaire by now. Yet, you'd think otherwise, with the look he had on his face. The blonde walking in on Derek standing in the middle of the room with his apartment an utter disaster, garbage strewn all over the floor, some pieces moved in a corner in case of it possibly being a pregnancy test, and the hot tears still pouring down his face. Derek, a man of little words and few expression could only muster the simple question. ❝ Where did you put the test, Erin ? ❞

The gig was finally up. Somehow, on Everleigh’s quest to find out the mole, she managed to dig up the fact that Ash was hidden in plain sight. It was partially his own fault. Derek had gotten lazy. He had always been careful to keep the whereabouts of Ash hidden, but the lack of interest over the past five years made it seem that Everleigh didn’t care anymore. She very much did. She not only dragged Ash back into the now hellscape that is the manor. She got a bunch of the rather tough looking Gen Three’s to dish out his punishment. There was about ten of them who took turns attacking him until he was left unconscious. He was left with an inch of his life, and if it wasn’t for some brunette nurse who stumbled upon him in the basement, Derek didn’t think that he’d be living. She managed to drag him to a hospital that the manor wouldn’t touch, but one that wouldn’t necessarily look any further than an attempted mugging. 

Erin was, surprisingly, the first person on his mind that he managed to text his location. The staff was surprised to find he had a name given there were no emergency contacts, and it was rare for someone to remember such a detail after the trauma of a mini coma. The idea of her was foggy, but the name was swarming in his brain for some reason. He had a feeling that her presence would begin to jog some of his memory. The hospital explained that temporary amnesia was expected with the type of beating he received. It would mainly block the moments leading up to the trauma, and he was hanging out with her the day before. The male also managed to shoot a text to the emergency check-in group chat which managed to get no reply. Where did everyone go? What was going on? All he wanted to know is what happened to him, and he hoped that the blonde could help him retrace his steps. ❝ Erin? ❞ he attempted to sit up before the vertigo caused him to grip his head and lay back down.  ❝ Is that you?! ❞ // @decadentias

❣️ + derin

SEND ME ❣️ + A SHIP AND I’LL TELL YOU…     [   VOL. 2   ] 

Who is the little spoon? Derek is the little spoon without a doubt

Who sings in the shower? Erin is definitely the one who sings in the shower. Derek can play a few instruments, but he doesn’t like to sing

Who plays pranks on the other? Erin tries to prank him often which he sees through. He likes to act like it pisses him off even though it never does

Who is the one who listens to pop music? Erin 100%

Who brings the other a random cup of joe? Derek has her order memorized from every shop and also how she likes to make it at home. He does it more, but she will get him coffee on occassion. She usually tells him to actually NOT drink as much coffee as he does because she thinks he drinks too much

Who picks the cheesy movies for date night? I feel like Derek defaults to letting Erin pick movies because he isn’t exposed to a lot of stuff. She’s still probably in the 1980s-1990s movie wise and they’re working their way up to Tangled slowly. He probably JUST started watching spongebob lol

Who is more likely to feed the other in public? Erin tries to feed Derek because he hardly eats. He’s getting better at it though.

Who gives the other random little compliments? They weirdly flirt with each other so it’s always half-digs more than compliments

Who is always stealing food from the other’s plate? Erin steals from Derek’s plate when it comes to fries, but he orders a larger size so it’s not really stealing. He’s used to her antics when it comes to fries though

Who is more likely to let the other borrow their car? Erin more than Derek. He’s really in love with his car so he probably wouldn’t let her borrow it (sorry Erin)

Who makes the list before they go grocery shopping? Derek is the list maker for sure

Who makes sure the other takes their meds when sick? I think they’re both good on that cause Derek for sure takes his meds regularly and I feel like Erin is good with that too. They’re both good at taking care of each other in that regard. He wouldn’t hesitate to help her and vice versa

Who watches sports and has to teach the other the rules? Tbh I think that no one has to really learn. Erin definitely knows a lot more than she lets on and I wouldn’t be surprised if she taught a thing or two to Derek

Who pulls the other to their feet for a dance in the living room? Erin is pulling him. Derek is a reluctant dancer, but he’s actually not half bad

Who has to keep reminding the other to hurry or they’ll be late? Derek TOTALLY nags Erin because he likes to show up a bit early

Who is the one most likely to get a tattoo with the other’s name? I don’t think either of them will get a name. Derek does have a few tats and he may get one dedicated to her, but not a name. I don’t think Erin would get anyone’s name tatted on her either. Maybe they’d both get matching or pair tattoos. He’d have to be kinda drunk to do that though because he has a lot of tattoos and sworn them off for a bit.

💏 Derin

send me a 💏 for my muse’s reaction to seeing your muse kiss somebody else.

The Halloween party didn’t end up being as bad as he initially thought it would. Derek didn’t feel embarrassed by his costume choice like expected, the snacks were good and the food was even better. The interesting part was that Erin wasn’t attached to his hip the entire time like expected. The male sat on the wall like it was a hobby with a cup in his hand while he watched Tinkerbell have the time of her life dancing. He didn’t mind since he wasn’t exactly sober. When the music changed to something that bore him, he decided it’d be the best time to smoke a blunt outside. It was interesting. Ever since he got out of his coma, the male found himself able to get loose more than he ever had before. His brief life-or-death moment made him appreciate the little things. Leaning against the wall of the building as he let himself tune out. He didn’t even realize how long he’d been outside until he checked his watch. Derek figured he’d probably should go back inside to check on Erin since she was probably looking for him, right? It turned out that she was quite preoccupied with someone else. Derek was glad that there was enough distance between them that she didn’t seem to notice his stare. Eying the other male down with a bit of a laugh. He could’ve sworn he’d never seen a girl with such a strong type from head to toe. He wasn’t that much of a looker, but it was funny that she happened to surround herself with guys that kind of looked like him. Derek didn’t want to think about why he began comparing himself to the guy she was making out with. He didn’t want to think about how it was beginning to feel weird to him. It’s not like he would cockblock her in any way. She was clearly having fun, and it would be wrong of him to ruin the moment. So instead of making a scene he went to grab another treat before going back outside to smoke.
