85﹕ brock grabs gloria roughly by the hair . @rejectory
his fingers curled in her hair, sharp and punishing, tilting her head back with a force that dared her to push back. the pain flared in her scalp, she inhaled slow and deep, a ritual of the agony she graves. gloria held his gaze, unblinking, unmoved. breath hitched in her throat, not from fear but fury, caged and coiled like a venomous serpent waiting for its moment.
she smiles, but it's all teeth. all sickness and hunger. that familiar rot curled beneath her skin whenever he got too close. her hand snaps, pressing a thumb just under his jaw. the button to remind that she could drop him if she wanted to— if she needed to. pressure-honed and sadistic against the artery's pulse. ❛ what's it going to be, rumlow? ❜ a laugh slithers up her throat. all that violence she tries to forget, tries to hide under florals and martyrdom, breathes like a second pair of lungs.
❛ we fighting or fucking? ❜
❛ you are my salvation. ❜ price @muutos
she wants to be his salvation, wants it in a way that terrifies her enough to believe him. it’s not flattery, it’s not sweet—it's the weight of meaning because john price doesn't utter a single syllable he doesn't stand behind. it lands in her chest like a round at close range, and for a second, all she can do is feel it: the honesty of it, the need of it. fingers pressed into the hard edge of his chest, sliding up the column of his throat like she’s checking if he’s real, if he’s still warm under her palm. he is, off course he is. a man always burning, always ready to fight someone else's war. the perfect soldier, the selfless leader, giving until there's nothing left and still never staying down.
she leans in, her forehead pressing into the curve of his temple, mouth a whisper over his own. her frame straddled his lap, as if by miracle, she could ground him there. ❛ john. ❜ like she's something soft and not buried beneath devouring violence, like she wasn't haunted in every step she took. how could gloria deny him that refuge? she wants to say it’s too much, that salvation is too big a word for what she can give but, it doesn't change a long-standing truth. at doesn't change the fact that he's her salvation, too. bloodstained, battle-worn, but hers. ❛ i'll be anything for you. ❜ her teeth tug at his bottom lip, testing reverence with a flick of her tongue. it's almost cruel, the way her words tremble against him, how her nails trace his jaw. ❛ but i need you to take. i need you to be selfish, i need you to want this more than you decided on your own grave. ❜
ADRIA ARJONA as Madison Figueroa HIT MAN (2024)
her hand lingers on his chest longer than it should. like she’s not sure whether she’s holding him BACK or holding him UP. the heat beneath her palm is blistering, not from his rage, no...she’s felt that before, watched it shatter men like glass. it's something older, deeper — that relentless ache between them that never stops, only roots and blooms stronger than the last time. there's nothing made of coldness in her eyes, they never are with him and maybe that's part of why she's letting it all CRUSH her. they’re tired, though. tired in that bone-deep way that comes from years of standing just outside the life she maybe could’ve had by some shift of luck. but that's not made for people like her, rewards for unforgivable deeds. ❛ no... fuck, i don't know! ❜
and there it is. that band hitting the dim lighting just enough to coax every bit of guilt eating her from the inside out to the surface. gloria stares, choking down penance and letting the barbed wire cut into her throat. the worst part was that it never stopped her. not once. she pulls her hand back, cradling it like a third-degree burn against her chest. a step back, but it doesn't matter how far she goes, he'll always HAUNT her and she'll always let him. ❛ i don't know what to do, you're not mine. ❜ the fight in her voice is gone, and what's left is so much worse. a quiet devastation, worn thin at the edges. trembled in dewy honey eyes, her arms thrown up with a defeat she can't escape. she could imagine it as some surge of fading adrenaline, from de-escalating impending dread. from the even more fucked up part of her that wanted frank to pummel that handsy fuck into the dirt. but it's so much more than that. ❛ i don't do it to hurt you. ❜ almost a plea, entirely mournful. ❛ i have to remind myself that there's a world outside of you, frank, cause if i don't, i'll keep drowning in you. ❜
anger doesn't just simmer inside him, it boils over — violent, clawing at his chest like something alive. one minute he's nursing a drink with the squad, laughter buzzing around him. the next, he spots the brunette locked in some stranger's orbit, their bodies too close. he watches the guy's hand slide from her arm to the curve of her waist, and something in him snaps. now, he’s the center of gravity — surrounded by too many eyes, all waiting for the kind of show that starts with a punch and ends with smears of blood on the asphalt. it doesn't come to that, thanks to gloria.
palm pressed to his chest, he tears his gaze from the man walking away and leans back against the wall, shaking his head like it might clear the heat rising in his throat. the words are there, coiled tight, but they won’t come out — not when she’s looking at him like that, not with the weight of the ring on his finger. “ what do you mean i can't? what the hell do you want me to do, gloria? you want me to sit back and smile while he has his hands all over you?. ” right now, he wishes the other guy would've swung at him. it would've given him a reason to let the poison out, to crack his knuckles on his skull and stake his claim on her, somehow. “ why do you always gotta do that shit in front of me. ” the anger’s still there, but it’s dulled now — muted by something heavier. that quiet, bitter frustration he saves for himself. the kind he’s been carrying too long, the kind that keeps him up at night with the thought of her.
∗ 14﹕ sender places their head in receiver’s lap . @nashmed
a rare lull, caught between extremities of boundless chaos. IDLENESS WAS A CURSE for gloria. her body and psyche shaped by battlefronts and flipping off death in the midst of carnage. she’s molded into it, spine rigid with war and pushing through on the home front. loss gathers in her throat, clawing its way up until chokes it all back down. she’ll carry it home and fall apart, save anyone the burden of picking her off the floor. because if she sits with her sorrow long enough, it might bury her.
she’s about to move, about to shuffle back up when the slight weight of a head positions in her lap. she exhales an amused chuff. ❛ you good ?❜ instinctive in how her body shuffles to offer comfort to the other. back of her palm flat against forehead to check for fever — gloria was reminded of her grandmother then, all that was missing was a hearty slathering of vick’s to solve all manner of ailments. unfortunately, they never covered such methods in med school or combat training. ❛ or do you need another second? ❜
