WHO: Mary Magdalene & Huitzilopotchli
WHEN: Just after midnight, 14th February
WHERE: Huitzilopotchli's building
WHAT: Oh, Valentine's Day
WARNINGS: sex? bad decisions and emotional paaaaain
The whole aura of Valentine's Day was putting Mary in a bad mood. She was trying to constantly forget about her disastrous 'love life' (if it could even be called that) and yet everywhere she turned for the last few weeks it was giant plush love hearts and smiling teddy bears.
She wanted to get herself back on track, or as on track as she ever was. Mary was known for being rather track-free. At 11.58 on the night of the 13th, Mary was sitting on the bed in her little apartment, twisting copper waves around her finger as she read the POSITIONS VACANT pages of the newspaper. She needed a change. Maybe anything would do it.
At 11.59 she circled a few things and did the maths in her head about how much she'd need to get make to the Grand Canyon and do that same trek again. But could she want to do it again? The last time Huitzilopotchli had been there. Maybe everything about that whole place now would remind her of him. She didn't want that. She and he were over and she had to accept that.
Midnight clicked over and Mary frowned at the paper. But why did she have to accept that? Because he'd said so? Because he hadn't responded to her message? Did he even mean it? Her chest ached and she knew, in that moment, what she had to do. She had to see him. She'd beg if she had to. For for Hummingbird, Mary would crawl on her knees.
She pulled off the clothes she'd been wearing and changed, pulling on a blue dress because wearing his colour had always pleased him. She combed her hair and smiled at herself in the mirror. This was the right thing to do. This would change things, would fix them. If he just heard from her lips how she really felt, knew that it was still true, then he wouldn't deny those same feelings in himself.
She spent the last of her money on a cab to take her to his building, the walk out of the question tonight. Shivering, Mary banged on the door and waited for someone to answer it.
