Day 221 — Morning mingle : Main shelter
[Wake up and smell the lack of coffee. You're on a bunk bed. Maybe you're a top and maybe you're a bottom. There are five other people in your room. Maybe they're friends or enemies or faces you barely recognize if at all. It doesn't matter much. You can leave this room and you don't need to come back to it.

You should get your rations though. You're probably hungry. You're definitely a little sluggish of body. What happened to that bruise you got sparing yesterday? What happened to your newly dyed hair? Mystery, mystery... Move along. Find the public bathrooms and do your business with a hundred of your closest friends.

Find the kiosk and get your rations. Careful not to let anyone steal them. You won't get more until tomorrow and the bots won't care. They aren't here to hold your hand. If you get sick or hurt and they deem it necessary they will take you to the hospital whether you wish it or not. But why dwell on such things? You're here now and you might as well enjoy it. You even get a free day today.]

(OOC: OOC info. This mingle takes place in the Main shelter over the morning hours.

[ weeks ago this hurt her - and it still hurts. it's not a rejection so much as it's a rejection of himself (but it still leaves her sleepless through the nights) and she can't help it; she can't. but she's tired of it. his response fortifies and weakens her, brings angry tears to her eyes. there's a fierceness about her, filling her to a brim. she's standing with him, her hand grabbing at his wrist, pulling his palm over her heart, her fingers pressing him into her skin.

(the horrible things he's done matter. but there is no 'good enough' - there can't be because every horrible thing she's done matters too. because she loves him just the way he is, through it all.) ] Look me in the eyes and tell me this feels wrong.

[ Did he actually expect her to walk away? Not really. Gilberts are known for their stubborn and unyielding nature.

When she grabs at his wrist, he's thinking: oh, goody, he's about to get slapped in the face -- (assume much?). It obviously takes him by surprise when she guides his hand to her chest.

Damon blinks, feeling the warmth of her skin through the palm of his hand, and the strong, steady beat of her heart. He draws in a breath and swallows; knows he's lost every bit of fight he had before he even looks her in the eyes. (She doesn't play fair.)

He moves his hand upwards, brushes his thumb over the curve of her jaw. ]

I'm a terrible liar.

[ she's learned not to play fair, that not everyone will, or maybe she never has in the first place. she sees the honesty in his expression, feels it in his touch. her expression softens only just so - knowing if anything, she's gotten this far to him. (she tilts her chin up, feels a rush of relief and longing and determination, and with it, fear.) her hands cradle his face; her thumbs caress the skin beneath them.

they've been through so much getting here. ] Then don't lie to me. Don't lie to yourself. [ the words are decisive, hopeful, because she needs to take this chance. she's running high on faith and she's afraid - afraid he could just walk away. afraid what the truth is to him, even as she wants him, asks him, to feel how right this is. ]

[ There's him listening to her every word, wanting to believe that it would be okay for him to admit that he wants this, wondering if they could get back what they almost had before. There's all the frown lines ever on his forehead as he reaches for her hand; having every intention of pulling it away (it's hard to think with her so close). He finds himself holding on instead, pressing his fingers into her wrist. ]

[ she doesn't need more than that, more than this. not now. she doesn't need a response or an answer; all she wants and needs is for him to stay. it's everything; it's enough. her eyes are full. the pressure of his fingers on her wrist uncoil something inside her. (she knows he would have pulled her hand away. she knows he won't, that he's not going to. it settles her, reassures her.) she moves forward, so close she remembers what it felt like to be against him. (not yet.) she pushes her fingertips into his hair and runs them down his neck, presses her palm to his chest.

her eyes have dropped, but now they lift to find his. it all seems so useless: thinking about what she should: about caroline, about sam (she can't, doesn't), about anything else, when all she wants, has been needing, is this moment. ]
