we don't follow crowds、we mold them new.

[ُ @grnte]

don’t be so dramatic, babe.

[ً @holyaches]

to want. desire is ugly. incessant. shaped like two hands wrapped around a throat.

[fletcher lyrics @lyricbyFLETCHER]

Come on, I dare you to love me.

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

@ordinaryvale

[۟ @godsfell]

i choose to love you in silence because in silence i find no rejection, and in silence no one owns you but me.

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

happy hump day, taryn nation 💋

lift your chin, straighten your spine.

And if you came here searching for a good time, let me tell ya, tequila ain't the reason that I'm so far gone.

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

twisted way of letting her down easily. when she doesn't see any evidence of that, her head nods slowly.

"/please/."

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

she's felt a shift over the last few days. somewhere between waking with her head on leighton's shoulder and hours spent playing mario kart and leighton running her to the hospital for the appointments to check on her hand. she's felt something about them change just a little, —

Her mouth opens and closes as she registers Taryn's words into her mind. Over the last couple of days, while they normally do spend a lot of time together, everything feels somewhat domestic with Leighton living under the same roof — sometimes even falling asleep in (&.)

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

dreading the response she expects to come. but the one she expects isn't the one that comes.

instead, leighton's words have her mouth going dry as eyes widen slightly. a brief pause, gaze searching leighton in a last effort to confirm that this isn't a pity offer, some —

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

be grateful for that, and everything you've been doing to help me. i shouldn't be trying to push something like this on you. i am sorry."

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

lips purse as she watches leighton for a moment, considering her words, considering how honest she should be, completely oblivious to leighton's own thoughts.

"no. i should be apologizing. you've been so kind to me the last few days, and i appreciate it so much. i should just —

Leighton blinks, taken aback by the quick switch up, before she pulls away after unknowingly leaning a lot closer to her. In her mind, she's convinced that she fucked it up.

Taryn is a friend. She shouldn't be acting that way around her friends.

my old man is a tough man, but he’s got a soul as sweet as blood red jam.

leaving the mug and instead trying to subtly tug the shirt closed over her thighs, feeling just a little too exposed under leighton's gaze.

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

watching leighton's gaze wander has taryn biting her lip. usually, she doesn't mind having eyes on her, but with leighton it feels so incredibly different. it feels like leighton sees so much more of her than most do and it has her adjusting the shirt, covering just a little —

[𝒍𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒐𝒏 𝒗͟𝒂͟𝒍͟𝒆 @ordinaryvale]

A blink. And another one. And another before she finally closes her mouth and swallows the lump on the back of her throat. Her eyes wander down for a second before shaking away any thought, mentally scolding herself in the process.

"You... do?" That /surely/ doesn't (&.)
ㅤ

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

feeling is.

tongue darts across her lips before her gaze moves away from leighton, closing her eyes briefly as her functioning fingers grip the mug a little tighter. "i should have asked before i put it on. i'm sorry, i don't know what i was thinking."

another shift, fingers —

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

"oh, definitely cute. you're less of a mess than i am."

her gaze lingers on hayley's features, noting the flushed cheeks.

"i can get dressed properly if that would make you more comfortable."

[‘ 𝑯𝒂𝒚𝒍𝒆𝒚 @wildwildflcwer]

like she is stealing her breath away.

hand running through her darkened locks as she smiles, flustered cheeks.

“ shh, not cute, a mess really “

[𝑻. @NATCHlOS]

hand extends and fingers wiggle in a request for adeline's hand.

she tries not to laugh, she really tries, but she can't stop the soft chuckle that escapes.

"thank you."

[𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 . @glxmrock]

unable to formulate a complete sentence, eyes on her the entire time.

“ uhm — you’re so — wow. uh .. wow. words aren’t really — fuck. “
