Caleb smiled, his arms kept snug around her as he pulled her slightly more onto his lap. "True, you can leave the pilotin' to me," he grinned, his eyes locked on her as he reached up to gently card his fingers through her hair.
He feigned a somewhat surprised look, eyebrows lifting before he let out a gasp, "have I been lackin' on my "giving minnie attention" agenda?" He gently prodded his forefinger against his pout with a soft chuckle, "heeey, I'm here now, and you've got all my attention."
Her pout only etched further into her face at his fake surprised expression, she knew he was finding amusement in her feigned despair. Of course, her cheerful eyes didn't exactly help her despaired cause here.
The hunter only made herself more comfortably seated in his lap, reaching out to gently pinch his cheek in protest. "You're making fun of me, hm?" As childish as it may be, the nostalgia of just being silly with Caleb like this reminded her how much she had missed him. However, the main reminder being how quickly her heart was beating right now.
"Actually, you have been lacking. I believe you owe me a whole year's worth of Minnie-tention, you're in great debt."
If her heart could soar any higher, she was sure it'd evacuate the confinement of her body and fly right out the window. Or at least that's how Maeve often made Minnie feel. A sweet smile to adorn her freckled face when her partner nuzzled into her palm, slumber evident in her response.
"I'll make all your favorites, so you can start your day off right." Minnie whispered, holding back the giggle that threatened to escape smiling lips. Each kiss to her palm only deepened the shade of pink along her cheeks. She needed more mornings like this, where Maeve could sleep in & she could spoil her with promises of good food and a day to unwind from their chaotic job. As the other fell asleep, Minnie reached out to gently move Maeve's hair out of her face. Her gaze lingered on her partner's peaceful slumbering expression before reluctantly leaving the room to start prepping for that breakfast she promised. Minnie was determined to have everything ready for Maeve when she wakes back up later.
For what it was worth Minnie was expecting a rather unhappy greeting from him. If she were to be honest, she hadn't expected him to answer his door at all. Not after she's been keeping his messages on read and not offering any kind of explanation for her disappearance. Surprise flitted across her face for a brief moment, before his words reached her ears. But when they did, despite his tone lacking anger it still cut into her. He's disappointed... and he had every right to be.
Brown eyes that were once focused on his face fell downcast. staring at her shoes like they could help her find the courage to lift her gaze. Minnie only moved when noticing he had stepped aside to silently allow her entrance. Guilt began to weigh heavily upon her shoulders as she slowly entered his apartment, despite the urge to turn around and leave.
"Xavier..." she began in a low and discouraged tone. "No, you're right. That wasn't sincere of me at all. I owe you an actual apology." A long sigh fell from her lips as her eyes finally lifted from the floor to stare into the blue depths his gaze always offered. Except this time it felt like she was drowning. All previous inquiry of his help were pushed to the back of her mind. "I... can't say why I was gone, but I truly didn't mean to not message you or check in. I just didn't want you to worry. In hindsight, i'm sure disappearing did just leave room for you to worry a lot more. For that, i'm genuinely sorry."
Dear Nymeria, Who said all love letters have to be romantic? I know we haven't known each other for too long... and I know i'm not exactly around as often as i'd like to be, for now. But I want you to know I already consider you one of my closest friends.
I can only describe this instant connection as like... do you ever just meet someone and your soul knows they're supposed to be a part of your life for a very long time? That there's this feeling of adventure with them you're destined for? That's how I felt when we met. I hope we can be close for the rest of our lives. I don't think you realize how much I already adore the antics we find ourselves in. Whether that's drinking too much Cava and finding ourselves stuck on fridges and countertops, singing at the top of our lungs so confidently to songs we only remember few lyrics for, or navigating through a storm together under a small umbrella when the other forgot theirs at home. I could never ask for better memories with anybody else. Here's to many memories to come, many more adventures, and much more fun and laughter that we deserve!
Nymโs lips curled into a smile as she read through the letter, her heart feeling warm despite the usual guarded exterior she kept so tightly wrapped around herself. The familiar, comforting words made her laugh under her breath, and for a moment, it was like the world around her faded a littleโjust her and the letter, with all the memories that came rushing back.
She couldnโt help but grin as she read the part about "fridges and countertops" and drunken Cava-fueled adventures. Minnie. Of course, it was her. There was no one else who would describe their chaotic, beautiful friendship in such a way. It was one of those connections you couldnโt put into words, but somehow, Minnie managed to.
Nym leaned back in her chair, letting the letter rest on her lap for a moment as she let the nostalgia wash over her. The memoriesโthe late nights, the random bursts of singing, the storms theyโd trudged through side by sideโthose were moments sheโd never trade for anything.
And yet here she was, calling it out with such sincerity.
The warm, affectionate smile didnโt leave Nymโs face as she carefully folded the letter and tucked it into the same drawer where she'd placed the last one, right next to her journal. She would keep it close, even if it wasnโt from some mysterious lover or secret admirer. Minnie was more than enough.
Nymโs fingers hovered over her phone for a moment before she finally typed her response.
๐ฌ Youโre such a dork, Minnie ๐ฌ Butโฆ I guess I wouldnโt have it any other way ๐ฌ Youโre my partner in crime, and Iโm glad youโre stuck with me ๐ฌ Hereโs to more ridiculous moments, even if they include trying to sing with no idea what the words actually are
She hit send, already chuckling to herself, imagining Minnieโs face when she read it.
Another adventure would come soon enough, and when it did, Nym was ready. With Minnie by her side, anything was possible.
[ anger ] reverse! receiver takes their anger out on sender (she can vent)
"He's so... stupid! Jeremiah, he's so very stupid!" Minnie was still seething about Xavier's behavior as of late. The hurt she was harboring for the lack of knowing took form of anger and poor Jeremiah was getting the brunt of it. The brunt of said anger that should've been given to Xavier.
"That idiot just disappeared for two weeks. Jeremiah, two weeks." The hunter emphasized with gesturing hands as she began to pace around Philo. "No warning, no phone calls, and no signs that he was okay. Instead he just casually shows back up two weeks later and with injuries." Her rage reignited all over again just thinking about the injuries he came back with. So much so that she whipped her head around & brown eyes squinted suspiciously in Jeremiah's direction now. Feet carrying her to where he had sat, stopping before him to point a finger at his chest.
"And I bet you encouraged him to go, didn't you?" Now she was just feeding into the anger with an accusatory tone.
result...
oh, little one, you have burned for so quietly for so long, haven't you? burnt yourself out trying to give others light? wishing, desperately, that they would notice the way your hands shake or the wildflower bruises under your tired eyes. but they never have, have they? and so, it obviously wasn't bad? right? you had more to give, didn't you? how much could you pour yourself out before they noticed? it is all you've ever known, after all. help, help, help, help. ( are you providing it, or begging for it? ) but you've given too much, spread yourself too thin, didn't you? you are so heavy, so tired. you have spent your life caring for others the way you wished someone would care for you. but you're worried, aren't you? that if you can't be what they need, if you can't be the pillar for others to lean on, they'll leave you. what you seek is home, a safe place to rest and be taken care of. and little light, you deserve it. you have earned it. you are worth more than what you can provide for others: you deserve the same care you so freely give out. they will love you all the same, honey. set down the world, and rest that weary heart of yours.

[ nightmare ] sender wakes receiver up from a nightmare
Reccurence; a nightmare far too often recycled in the back of her mind. Everything was so vivid, the brush of flower petals between her fingers as muffled voices surrounded her. Everything was too real. Dull & broken eyes that could only belong to her did as they always did in this unpleasant environment, they swept over the scene. Caleb's funeral. That familiar sense of dread weighed heavily on her, as heavily as the many eyes in the room that stole glances. All the black and white attire, his graduation photo sitting so ominously atop the coffin, the many flowers that wound around the mournful sight. Her heart lurched in her chest as it always did. He's gone. He's really gone.
You said you'd always stay by my side...
Her heart sank.
You left me behind... You left me here alone.
Her heart sank further. Fingers digging into the wood of the seat beneath her.
The muffled voices were becoming more sound, more clear in coherency as they urged her to step forward. Minnie was quick to jump up, but rather than approach his coffin, her legs carried her the other way. Far away from it all, away from the now leering gazes, away from the reality she was finding herself in. Except this time she wasn't met with the sight of sunlight and fresh air when she threw the doors of the funeral home open. No, she was met with the sight of Caleb's coffin. The bright petals of the flowers adorning the cold wood were mocking her. Now she was standing before the very scene she wanted to run from; his smiling face in the photo brought tears to her eyes.ย
"It's okay..." A familiar voice whispered directly behind her and a cold heavy hand pressed down on her shoulder now. Minnie began to shake. That voice...
In this terrible dreamscape she didn't physically turn around. She couldn't, but Minnie could still see who was standing behind her. Grandma Josephine. Not as she remembered, no this version of Josephine had no color to her complexion, just cold grey skin. As if she rose from the dead. Her eyes were just two black holes, her mouth shrouded. Minnie physically stayed frozen, but Josephine continued speaking. The funeral home and all the once familiar faces began to match her dead and morphed expression. Josephine's cold fingers dug deeply into her shoulder now as she practically shouted into her ear.
"You need to let him go."
Minnie jolted awake, gasping for air like she had been holding her breath for far too long. As she sat up in bed, she could feel there was an actual hand on her shoulder. But she couldn't confront who was in the room with her, instead tearful gaze looked down at the comforter pooling in her lap. She turned her attention the other way, looking at the sunny apple plush that was looking at her from it's spot in a chair. Recollection followed; Skyhaven. Which meant she was in Caleb's house. Her heart began to race, still conflicted from the nightmare she had been stuck in. Tears began rolling down freckled cheeks before Minnie finally turned her gaze to the very source of her unpleasant dream.
"Caleb..." her shaky voice greeted. Still wondering if she could trust he was truly standing before her. Pleading eyes that seemed just as broken as they were in her nightmare stared up at him now. "Please tell me you'll never leave again."
okay but I am cooking on Minnie's non-MC verse. so far i'm set on her having a force field Evol that's like aquamarine little cubes she primarily pieces together for shielding and barriers.
but also I like the idea that she first works as a barista in Destiny cafe because she failed the Hunter's exam. Joining the association is a pipeline dream for her at this point.
@deepspacexavier appreciation post mayhaps? I'm fortunate to have the best Deepspace Hunter in all of Linkon as my teammate. ๐คญ
It's been so long since I lost the game.
" . . . "
A beat of silence passes between the two as big brown eyes narrow into slits. One hand rose to poke her beloved on the cheek as the other hand anchored to her hip. Playful pout upon lips. "How could you? I'm pretty sure I was second place to your first place. Why have you forsaken me?"
Minnie's eyes light up when he hands over the little creature, she gently cradles her in her arms with a smile. "She? How can you tell? Wow she's so warm." She laughed as Dizzy blinked up at her and nestled further into her arms. "I have a kitten back at home, if I could i'd have more animals. I love little companions. You're lucky to have such a cute one. Have you had her for long?"
"Tell? She just-" The second he jumped to explain a squabbled mess spills from Dizzy amounting to gibberish to everyone but Mateo. "Hey manners! She doesn't know!" Apologetically, he raises his hands. "Sorry, she didn't mean that. She gets cranky sometimes but she means well. I've had her for years now. Since I was a kid. Been forever now that I think about it." There's no commentary from Dizzy this time. "Sooo what's your kitten's name then?"
Brows raised when the incoherent noises left the little creature and even more so when he seemed to understand the gibberish. The hunter was flabbergasted for a moment, brown eyes just peering into beady red eyes. Did she say something rude?
"Wait, you can understand what she just said? Literally sounded like gurgling..." As he further answered how long he's had the creature, she figured it'd be best to return his little companion, especially at mention of being cranky. Reluctantly arms held out the little one to him with a smile. "That's so cool. Thanks for letting me hold her. Sorry little one."
With a hum in thought, eyes went from the apologetic look on his face to the red beady eyes of the little creature and back. "Her name's Calypso. What's her name? And yours, of course."
@galaxythixf's Mateo was spotted!
"Can I hold it?" She's gesturing to the cute blue creature the other was talking to & holding. "It's so cute, did you make it with your Evol?"
"Oh for sure! Just be careful." Dizzy was in a good mood so he hands her over gently. "Nah, my Evol's not really that special. She's just a buddy. You a big animal person?"
Minnie's eyes light up when he hands over the little creature, she gently cradles her in her arms with a smile. "She? How can you tell? Wow she's so warm." She laughed as Dizzy blinked up at her and nestled further into her arms. "I have a kitten back at home, if I could i'd have more animals. I love little companions. You're lucky to have such a cute one. Have you had her for long?"
