@fangedscience asks: “  you know, if you moved in we wouldn’t keep having to say goodbye like this.  ” | prompt ; accepting

     "Yeah," Mauri agreed with a sigh, and it took a few seconds for her to process the words fully. "Wait, like really?"

     "You just want to keep me locked away in a bubble wrap fort."

@fangedscience ;; cont. from here.

The Burrus House Inn is a beautiful hotel nearby that overlooks the water. Not the ocean, whose shores are littered with the usual style hotel for vacationers, but the bay. When Edeva booked it, she briefly tried to remember the area and how much it changed, but the memories of the Roanoke were ones she let blur and fade with time. Except Henry, of course.

Edeva led them into the suite she was staying in, the doors to the patio looking out onto the clam waters. The suite had a homey feel to it, comfortable and quaint but nicely updated. It was mostly left untouched, expect for a few personal items strewn about. Her suit case sat empty in the closet, her clothes put away. Unsure of just how this reunion would go, she booked the suite for a week. If anything, she hoped for a nice, relaxing vacation by the beach. Fortunately, Henry showed and things seemed to be going well for now, if a bit hesitant.

Without thinking, Edeva kicked off her shoes and pulled her hair up into a messy bun. A second thought on the actions would tell her it was because she felt safe enough to automatically go into her usual routine. The part of her that remembered she hadn't seen Henry in over 500 years had the decency to be embarrassed.

"Um," she started, motioning him to the couch in the living area and sitting down. Her blue eyes never left him, a gaze both fond and nervous. Where did they even start?

"I'm sorry." The rational part of her brain picked for her, not letting her get caught up in the ghost of memories. Edeva picked at the couch cushion anxiously. "For kissing you. I shouldn't have assumed -" A laugh escaped her. "I mean, we're practically strangers again, aren't we?"

For a moment, she expected a sadness to wash over her, but instead it was warmth. Edeva was getting another chance to meet Henry Sturges all over again, and maybe, just maybe, they would get to fall in love again.

serum testing starter for @fangedscience​

“Howard,” Peggy’s voice was a steely calm after all of the yelling that had just taken place. Zola was now gone and it was just her and the man she considered a best friend. It was such an odd friendship, she knew, especially with how incredibly angry he could make her, but he was a friend nonetheless. “Howard, what did I actually just inject myself with?”

She didn’t feel the incredible amount of pain she thought she would feel if she injected herself with something that could kill her. When she found out that Zola and Stark were working on recreating the super soldier serum, she marched down to the lab, wrenched the full vial out of Zola’s hand and injected herself with the liquid all the while screaming at Howard for breaking his promise to her, to never recreate the serum, to let Steve rest, to keep Erskine’s formula out of hands that he would not want it in. 

No instead she felt growing pains as if everything in her was growing and shifting. She didn’t feel taller but her sleeves and pant legs were tighter around around her arms and thighs as if she had just acquired quite a lot of muscle mass. She was starting to get a headache from how bright the room suddenly was and they should really get the AC checked on if it’s making that much of a racket and barely any air flowed. “Please tell me for once in your life, you actually learned from your mistakes and you didn’t lie to me again, that you didn’t break a promise. Because how am I supposed to trust you after that, Howard? I let you back in once. I will not have you turn me into a fool.”

“So do you get like...cavities then?” She gasped only to ask yet another question then, “Are there like dentists out there that are strictly for vampires? Vampire dentists? Do some vampires need braces? Is there a specific kind of toothpaste or product vampires need?”

@fangedscience - continue from here X

There was one, maybe two customers at most in Merryton, Maria therefore decided that now was as good as time as any to get down a pile of books she stowed on top of one of the high shelves. She couldn't even remember what was in there. She'd gotten them in a charity shop in the next town over and now that customers had taken a few of the resident books home with them, there was room for these to make their debut.

Maria reached for the box, slightly out of reach. She knew she was stretching, she knew she should be more careful, yet common sense seemed to evade her for a moment. The dust from the top of the shelf kicked up and Maria sneezed, the books went tumbling to the floor and a moment later she followed.

Instead of a hard landing and broken bones Maria found herself wrapped in firm arms. Maria stared into the strangers eyes for a moment, shaking her head gently when she thought she saw a change in his eyes.

"Thank you." She breathed, before becoming entirely conscious of the fact she was still, caught, in a strangers arms. Her cheeks flushed and she disentangled herself. "I uhm- thank you, I'm so sorry, I just- how did you?" Maria babbled for a moment before taking a deep breath.

"I'm so sorry, you might have just saved my bones if not my life, thank you Mr?"

Reassurances;; w/ @fangedscience

"Still an ass, I see," rolls off her tongue without thinking, eyes rolling fondly. There's no malice behind Mauri's words. This is their usual dance, and despite time apart, it comes too easily. The corner of her mouth quirks upward, and she leans against the counter, propping her chin on her hand. "Your lucky I find it charming."

The fact that she can still decipher Henry's tone - notice the smallest of expressions he hides well to anyone else - settles nicely in her chest, making it's home there. Mauri pouts.

"Momo, I've got weapons for prosthetics. I think I can do at least a little bit of self protecting." And while her tone is playful and light, she still reaches out to give his arm a comforting squeeze.

❝ every time you smile at me, i memorize it. i remember each moment that i get to be the one to bring out that light inside you. no matter what happens between us, that’s what i’ll remember. ❞

     "Oh..."

     It is both frightening and incredible that, even after dying and being brought back as a deadly monster, the love Edeva once felt for Henry is still there. Of course, she always knew she still loves him, but there's a difference between loving a memory and loving the actual person.

     His words are true - she can feel it without poking around his head. He has no reason to lie. And knowing that Henry has kept part of her alive in his memory, in his heart--

     "Then I'll be sure to always smile, so long as you are here to see it."

Favorite Ships: Antechuity (Henry Sturges / Mauri Taylor)

I can’t pinpoint the exact moment I fell in love with you, because it was so normal. It was always there, in a way. It was like breathing. You exist, and I love you, and it’s so easy. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been hard. You know how hard it’s been. But God if you sticking around through the hardest times doesn’t make me love you even more.

ah yes, another thread w/ @fangedscience ;;

I'm ridiculous, she thinks, laughing wetly as she dabs at the open and still bleeding wound on Henry's head. Yes, sure, he'll heal. The least she can do is clean the damned thing. It gives her something to do other than sit with worry about him. The hit he took would likely have killed any normal human, and she's never been more thankful of his regenerative abilities.

"Stop talking," she mutters, wiping the blood from his face with one hand, the other holding his cheek, her thumb swiping back and forth softly.

While it's not necessary, Mauri dresses the wound, if anything to stop blood from getting on anything. Though, she supposes that point is moot when she glances down at their bloodied and dirty clothes. Well. At least they're safe.

"How many fingers am I holding up?" She asks, releasing his face and holding 4 fingers a good distance away. It's silly, but it's a gesture that might help her gauge how fast he's healing.

"'Adorable'? What am I: sixteen?"

Henry rolled his eyes, clearly amused. “Are you only allowed to be adorable when you’re sixteen? What would you have rather I said?”

Huffing, Mauri shrugged and swung her arms in an effort to come up with the words. “I feel like at twenty-four I should have upgraded to, I dunno, sexy, or something.”

“Adorable and sexy are two completely separate things. Adorable doesn’t grow up to be sexy," Henry laughed, thoroughly entertained by Mauri's antics. "Regardless, you are both adorable and sexy. Happy now?”

Despite the fluttering in her chest, Mauri managed a 'tch' sound as she twirled a lock of hair around her finger. “Well don’t say it ‘cause I said something. I want you to really think it.”

When she didn't hear an immediate response, Mauri looked up again, finding Henry looking at her with a look that makes her mouth dry. “I do really think it.”

“I don’t believe it,” she sputtered, cheeks red, before scoffing.

The look only became more intense when he grinned at her, his amusement for her distress coming across more wicked. “Yeah? And what would I have to do to prove it to you, hmm?”

“I don’t know," she shrugged, licking her lips. "Show me, maybe?”

“How am I suppose to show you that you’re both? Would you like me to direct you to a mirror?” His intensity faltered for a moment, not understanding Mauri's veiled desire.

This was it. No turning back. Taking in a breathe, Mauri leveled him with a gaze of her own. “No. I want you to show me that you think it.”

The smirk on his face was far too smug for Mauri's liking as he leaned in closer. “Ohh, you want me to show you I think you’re sexy. Well, in that case…”

And then Mauri was kissed - finally kissed - by the man she's been steadily falling in love with for almost two years now. Henry kisses her slow and sinful, and Mauri's legs would have buckled if he wasn't holding her hips flush against his own.

And yeah, okay, it was hot. Mauri would deny just how much she loved how his lips felt on hers, how his unfanged teeth pulled at her lip, if Henry asked. He would know she was lying.

But there isn't just the simmering lust burning beneath her skin at his touch. There's a warmth that makes her feel safe, protected. His cool skin is a balm on her wounds, still open from damage years prior. When she looks into his eyes, she sees a familiar hesitation, but it is a mere flinch. His eyes tell her he trusts her. He cares for her. He loves her. It quiets the constant thoughts of insecurity and fear. Lightens the heaviness around her heart, even if a little.

🔓 — to see my muses phone lock-screen

They had traveled together once before their falling out in 2013. Mauri insisted they got to Disney World, partly because she had never been. But mostly because the idea of Henry in such a colorful, magical place was kind of a dream of hers. Disney World is where dreams come true, after all.

So, they pack up the day she mentioned it, take a private jet to Orlando, Florida, and Mauri can’t even scoff at the pretentiousness of it because she was on her way to Disney World. Because they could, they stayed for days, enjoying each of the parks to their fullest and dining all the best restaurants on Disney property. And then Mauri requested one more thing.

A trip to the beach! They’re near the coast, so why not? It was sundown, and thankfully they were on the correct side of the peninsula to see the sun setting into the water. Right before it sunk below the horizon, Mauri got this lovely shot. Facing away, protecting his eyes from the dimming glow, but turning as soon as he saw Mauri’s phone up. He laughed and beckoned her over. She saved it as her lock screen before he could snatch her phone away.

(Silly, Henry. Mauri’s already got it backed up on the Cloud.)

She hadn’t changed it, only switching it to her home screen after the falling out, when her sister started raising brow at it. Recently, though, it’s made it’s way back to the lock screen.

❝ when i’m with you i feel like myself. i feel like every side of me is present and accepted. and i feel good about it— i feel good about who i am when i’m with you. ❞

     All Mauri can do is blink at him momentarily, before her lips turn into a pout, eyes big and shiny. She can hardly contain the swell of emotion in her chest, because did he really just say that?? Was Henry - her Henry - being open and honest about his emotions with her? Regarding her??

     "Momo," Mauri whines, faceplanting into his chest. When she finally looks up at him, her teeth are sunk into her lip to prevent the smile wanting to bloom along with the red on her cheeks. Her hands lift to cup his cheeks, thumbs brushing along the bone. "Good."

     She's positively giddy, doing her best to tamp it down, because this is unlike either of them - being genuine with their words instead of using humor or brushing it off. Mauri lifts onto her toes and presses her lips to his in a chaste but lingering kiss.

     "I am so glad that you do."

“Uh-huh,” Mauri answered, missing Henry’s tone as absorbed as she was in her work. However, what he said finally registered and caught her attention. Blinking her eyes back into clear focus, Mauri looked over at him. “What?”

Oh. Feeling the warmth of the blood trickling above her lip, Mauri lifted her hand and swiped it away hastily. “Oh, my god, I’m sorry. Are you– Do you need to feed?”

Standing, Mauri rushed over to the handwashing station to clean her hands and face. It didn’t even occur to her to be worried that she was bleeding.

❛ nope, puppy dog eyes aren’t going to work this time! ❜

“But Momo—“ Mauri pouts, looking at him through her lashes. “Are you sure? Really, really sure?”

Long lashes bat prettily, her bright blue eyes even glossing over with unshed tears. She’s has years to perfect this look with Kasia, so she knows it works.

“You’re right, I don’t understand, yet. Will you help me?”

There’s a talent in the way Henry is able to sound both exasperated and genuine. Mauri doesn’t blame him. He’s always put up with her bullshit, and she’s grateful he’s stuck around this long. Doesn’t mean she’s going to make it easy for him.

“Yes! Okay. So,” she lifts her left hand, palm up, and a holographic display of her body appears. The cybernetic aspects of her are highlighted red against the blue light of the rest of her anatomy. The real cybernetics on her body give off the same red glow in the LED “veins”, and her eye glows red, as well. “I can run full diagnostics on myself, including the biological parts. And I don’t even really need this display, I can see it all in my head. It’s fucking wild, Henry. I’m an actual c o m p u t e r.”

There’s a sound of humored disbelief that leaves her throat, one that doesn’t quite match the millisecond long twinge in her brow of concern.
