DT MEMES




FIGHTING YOUR INNER DEMONS
Everybody has them. Some are louder than others. Some are stronger. Some are overwhelming, and sooner or later you just give up fighting. But there are other people around you who want to help you - maybe they're suffering too, either because of your inner monster or their own. Or maybe they're one of the lucky ones with demons that don't howl so much.

You can help each other. It's better than the alternative.


TURN OVER A NEW LEAF FOR YOU


Here's the thing: in the past, you've not been a nice person. Whether you were just a little nasty, you did terrible things, you were forced to be a monster, or your heart was dark to the core, it's understandable why you weren't anyone's favorite. But those days are behind you. Now, there's someone you care for, someone you want to get closer to, someone you lov-

Well, they make you want to be a better person. This desire could have been a gradual realization, or you could have suddenly decided one day to improve. In the same vein, you may want a complete overhaul, yet you could also be more realistic and try to work on one thing. Still, you know that you're the only one who can change yourself.

How is that going? It can't be easy, as old habits die hard. Do you have a supportive loved one — or someone who wants nothing to do with you, no matter how much you improve?


FIRSTS

You're in right smack in the middle of exciting times, perhaps even the peak of your life so far, and you're not alone. For you and your companion, it's all about firsts: first crush, first love, first fight, first confession, first kiss, first time, first adventure to certain death together - you know, as you do. There is a first time for everything, after all, and they say you never forget your first.

So...first?

1. First Kiss: Is there anything sweeter?

2. First Date: Are you super awkward and nervous or getting on like a house on fire?

3. First Time: A little awkward, a little exciting, always memorable. (Unless you had to get drunk to get up the nerve.)

4. First Place: Apartment in the city, or perfect white picket fenced home! Either way, better make the best of it.

5. First Pet: Dog or cat? Fish tank? Rhinoceros?

6. What is this...Love Thing?: I don't understand love. What is love, baby don't hurt me ---

7. Protected/Safe: You always feel safe with them. How can you thank them?

8. Childhood Sweethearts: You've loved them what seems like forever, ever since you were little.

9. Arguments: You jerk! Look what you've done! I never want to see you again.

10. Unlucky Friend: You lost the person of your dreams to someone else, perhaps because of their allure or perhaps because you never spoke up. What can you do now?

11. I'll Cheer You On: Always supportive, always by your side, they're the person you can count on. Why do they care so much, though?

12. Slap-Slap-Kiss: I could kill you for what you just did! I could - I could KISS YOU.

13. Confession in the Heat of the Moment: You're about to go defeat the ultimate baddie. How about confessing your feelings to the person you love? Seems legit.

14. Sudden Kiss: Kiss from nowhere! There are lots of reasons for this: to stop someone from crying, to make them be quiet, or just to explain yourself when words can't.

15. Waking Up: Fluffy, sleepy, giggly morning in bed.

2, First "Date"

[personal profile] crazy_white_girl 2018-08-16 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hot date, sweetheart?"

The oh-so-casual question made Tandy stop dead in the middle of applying a fresh coat of soft pink lipstick in favor of meeting her mom's amused gaze in the bathroom mirror. Blinking a bit, she straightened as she felt a strange flare of panic and butterflies in the pit of her stomach.

"What?" She blinked again for good measure just to show that she was really confused by the question. "No. I'm just going out with a friend."

"Ah, right." The corners of Melissa's mouth twitched before she affected a more innocent look than before. "Is it Ty?"

This time that panic was genuine but Tandy reminded herself that her mother didn't know about her and Ty or what they got up to most nights. That Melissa had met them the night they honored the people they lost on the anniversary of their deaths. It was the night that Tandy saw that horrible vision of her father hitting her mother but she hadn't brought it up to Melissa yet. She wasn't sure if she ever would.

"Um, yeah?" She tried to go for casual again as she leaned forward to finish her lipstick. Once done, she pressed her lips together and grabbed some gloss to give it a bit of shine. "But we're just going out as friends."

Weren't they?

It was still on her mind when she snuck into the church a little while later, trying to be delicate about it because of the bag in her hand and the dress she was wearing. A white dress naturally since that seemed to be her thing these days. The fact that it was short and tight was just how the dress was made, that was it. It certainly wasn't by choice or maybe a tiny bit of hope that Ty would like it.

First, she would have to finish convincing him to come out with her. She had nearly succeeded but she knew he would need just a tiny push over the edge. So she had her best charming smile in place as she made her way to the front of the church. "Ty? Come out, come out wherever you are."

Even though they had succeeded in getting some justice for all they had lost, Tandy felt guilty that she couldn't have done more to keep Ty from the situation he was in now. She hated that he was still a fugitive and that he couldn't be home with his family but she was relieved that he was still in the city instead of running far away to go into hiding.

Because if she were really honest with himself, she would have gone with him. Yes, her Mother was still there but she had thought about leaving before and she hadn't been lying when she said that whatever this was with Ty was the only thing she knew at times. Yes, it was messy and they were just only learning what it meant to be a 'divine pairing' but Ty gave her solid ground to stand on. Sure, he could be a pain in the ass sticking his nose in her business at times but....she almost needed him to. She just needed him around, period.

She knew he was in protest of her idea and that he would mutter at her whole bunch when she showed up but she wasn't prepared for the sight of him in just a towel. Stopping dead at the sight of him, she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came to mind. So she pressed her lips together, trying not to look as flustered as she felt in that moment as she swallowed thickly and tried to gather her thoughts together. It wasn't like she didn't know that he was cute but she hadn't really thought about the fact that Tyrone Johnson was actually kind of hot.

Shaking her head in an attempt to snap out of it when he turned away, she looked down at the bag and reminded herself why she was there besides trying to drag him out. Conjuring up a playful smile, she made her way over to him while holding up the bag.

"Don't bother trying to find clothes." She probably shouldn't just pause right there, right? "I mean, uh, I got some clothes for you to wear tonight. To fit in."

As far as Tandy was concerned, it had been an incredibly easy decision to follow him when he was determined to sacrifice himself to save the 504. It had been pure instinct to chase him, cutting her way through whatever stood in her way until she could reach his side and prepare to sacrifice herself as well. She hoped he would know that she would never leave him after that either. Or at least she would really try not to.

She knew he was feeling bad about his chick disappearing but she was kind of relieved if she were honest with herself. Sure, it wasn't really fair since she had kind of liked them together but there was a part of her that was selfish enough to admit that she kind of liked having him to herself. She would never tell him that because he probably wouldn't approve but yeah, it was the truth.

She was sure that he was just keeping an eye on her to make sure she stayed out of trouble though. Dropping the bag beside him, she decided that she would take what she could get because she was sure they wouldn't hang out like this otherwise. He wouldn't really choose to spend time with her if he could have his normal life back and they didn't have to save the city, right?

"Hey, I don't mind." She told him with a genuine smile as she moved to a nearby pew where she could sit and wait. SHe liked being around him and for now she didn't mind when he did his creepy stalker thing. Mostly because she didn't view it like that. It was comforting having him nearby most of the time.

"Shouldn't I be the one walking you home?" She asked with a teasing chuckle. "Making sure you get back safe and sound?"

There were times when she still missed the hoodie but she had recognized that he needed it more and she had needed him which meant giving it back. That and there was a certain level of comfort that she had gotten from the hoodie that she got just from being near him. As well as the strange hum of energy that felt like it was both pulling and pushing her whenever she was near him. She knew it was most likely their powers reacting to one another but sometimes she wondered if it was more than that. Or was meant to be.

He also made her feel a bit nervous like she wanted his approval at times which was a strange thing for a girl who often pretended like she didn't need those things. So she couldn't stop herself from smiling when it looked like he might approve of her choice of clothing for him and even more so when he looked up to smile at her. Or maybe it was in response to her, who knew. Either way, her smile grew before she popped one eyebrow at him and tried not to take that comment in the wrong direction.

"Yeah, but what fun is there in that?" She asked, maybe somewhat hopefully but, again, she told herself that she knew better.

Realizing then that she should look away while he changed, she twisted around on the pew while crossing her legs and turning her gaze towards the back of the church. Then she chuckled, tucking a bit of hair back from her face. "I'm good at reading people, remember? That includes figuring out sizes."

Which meant she had checked him out? Possibly?

Just like always, Tandy seemed to sense him as he drew close and she shifted on the pew again to face him even before he got close enough to edge in on her personal space. Tipping her head back, she gave him a curious look as he started tripping over his words but she hardly noticed as her eyes drifted down for a moment to the site of his chest under his unbuttoned shirt.

"We haven't....what?" She was asking for clarification as she drew her eyes back to his face, her long lashes fluttering until he asked if this was dancing or dinner. Should she have suggested they go out and get dinner? Crap, maybe he was hungry?

Then he was telling her that she looked amazing and she blinked at him again because she wasn't really expecting that. Still, it made her smile again as she rose to her feet. "Thank you, Ty."

Standing up brought them close to one another again and she swore she could feel the energy dancing over her skin as she realized that she would barely have to reach to touch him now. So she went about it rather casually as she reached with her hands to tug at the front of his shirt, pressing her lips together as she did a couple buttons right in the middle. "You look really good too."

"Well, I know it's not a school or basketball uniform but I had to start somewhere." Tandy couldn't resist teasing him though she did pause and make a briefly apologetic look because she didn't want to stir up anything that would make him feel bad. Especially since he couldn't go back to school or his life at the moment.

Deciding to gloss over it and push ahead, she looked down again as she realized that buttoning up his shirt was a rather intimate thing to do between two friends but she wasn't stopping either. She liked the warm feeling it gave her though normally it would freak her out with anyone else. "But it's the man that makes the clothes, not the other way around."

Which was her way of saying that he made the clothes look good which he did. But he was also bringing up a good point about seeing whether they could touch or not. Pausing, she looked up at him as she nearly pointed out that they were touching now except they were. Her fingers had grazed over his skin briefly a couple of times but mostly her touch lingered on his shirt, the material seemingly acting like enough of a barrier to keep their powers from going haywire. Or maybe they had beaten the haywire part by what they did at the plant.

"You're right." She commented casually while her stomach flipped with a sudden swarm of butterflies and warmth that seemed to spread everywhere. "We should touch just to be sure we can."

The predicament he was in now wasn't something she would have felt bad about before when they first met but she had been honest with him about trying to learn how to care now. The truth was, Ty made it easy to care and she figured that was a step in the right direction. They were good at balancing each other out though she would swear that he did more for her than she did for him.

Letting her hands fall away from his shirt, she moved after him like he had tugged at her to do so even though no physical connection had been made. He moved, she followed. It was that easy. She did wonder a bit about the fact that he had brought her over to his bed but she was trying not to think anything about it. Or to make any smart ass comments.

Instead, she remained focused on the task, half expecting him to reach for her hand like they had done the last time but he caught her by surprise by reaching for her sides. Or maybe it had been her hands that he was reaching for but they were already drifting back to his chest once more, hovering lightly over his shirt as he started to lean down in a way that made her heart start to race. So much so that she swore she could hear it pounding in her ears as her eyes dropped to the shape of his mouth without realizing it.

Her breath seemed to stutter as his forehead touched against hers and she could feel the swell of energy again but there was no glowing this time. She just felt incredibly warm and almost giddy as she felt his breath teasing over her lips, lending a charge to the air that she couldn't help be aware of now.

"No." She felt and sounded breathless as she finally touched her hands to his chest, letting them slide up to his shoulders as the urge took hold and she gave in. Still breathless, she tilted her head and lifted her chin to touch her lips tentatively to his. She really hoped he wouldn't hate her after that.

If it had been anyone else, Tandy might have thought it was just a clever ploy to get her over to the bed but she would never think that about Ty. Partially because she didn't really think he would entertain anything that would involve her and a bed as well as the fact that he was simply too innocent for something like that. At least in her eyes, he was.

But then he was touching her and she forgot those little whispers of doubt that he would see her that way. She forgot to really think at all as she pressed her lips to his, seeming to stun him for a second or two before he kissed her back.

Then it was like whoa.

She felt like she had been hit with a sledgehammer when the kiss turned greedy and he pulled her tight against him until there was no way he could hide the sudden arousal if he tried. Not that she minded as the heat seemed to flare from the center of her core and pour through her, making her knees feel weak as the rest of her jumped to a new level of awareness. One that had her starting to wrap her arms around him as she kissed him back with the same heat, the kiss going from zero to sixty in a second. Then suddenly back to zero again.

The sudden change was like whiplash, leaving her to stumble half a step before she caught herself and then proceeded to stare at him with wide eyes, her breasts rising and falling heavily as she tried to wrap her head around what had just happened. It was one of the few times he would see her momentarily speechless as she opened her mouth and then closed it again, gulping down some air.

Then, just like always, she felt a sudden flare of panic in the face of uncertainty and intimacy. Blinking, she gathered her wits around her or tried as she gave a jerky little nod. "Yeah, right. Maybe we should go? I mean, clearly we can....touch."

Yes, words were good, Tandy.

At the moment, Tandy didn't know what to do with herself as she stared at Tyrone and struggled to catch her breath again. She couldn't remember having ever felt this shaken up before from a simple kiss and the realization made her feel almost guilty. Mostly because in all the time she had been with Liam, even during their most intimate moments, she had always held herself back but that felt like an impossible feat with Ty. All it had taken was the feel of his mouth on hers and his arms around her to get her all caught up and swept away. It was so sudden and intense that it actually felt kind of scary.

What was even more terrifying than that was how right it had felt too.

Blowing out a small breath when he turned away to grab his hoodie, she brought her hands up to smooth her hair down again and then to tug at the neckline of her top which might have inched down just a bit when he pulled her into his arms. Getting it back into place again, she looked up and looked almost wary at the mention that they should test something else but she didn't get a chance.

Suddenly she was being enveloped in his arms and in the hoodie at the same time, leaving her leaning into him as she realized what he was going to do. Or maybe 'clutching' was the better word to describe what she did as she grabbed onto his sides and pressed her face against his shoulder as he teleported them from the church.

She was still there when they 'landed' and he started to let go. Once she was sure her feet were on solid ground, she lifted her head to peek over his shoulder before taking a small step back. "Okay, whoa, warn a girl next time, Ty."

"Is that what it feels like all the time?" She asked, tipping her head back to look at him while licking her lips.

[personal profile] crazy_white_girl 2018-08-22 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
The fact that he wasn't anything like any of her exes was probably a good thing. In fact, there was no 'probably' about it. He wasn't like anyone she had really ever been interested in before and that was actually really nice. Not that there had been anything wrong with some of them. Liam was actually a good guy whose only fault was letting her use him. Not like Ty who held her accountable and made her want to be better.

"No." She answered in a rush and with a shake of her head as she took a small step back while he shrugged out of his hoodie. "I just wasn't really expecting it but it wasn't bad. It was actually...kind of a rush. Almost like when I make my daggers appear."

Which she had told him was like sex when it first happened.

Glancing around quickly to make sure no one had spotted them, she heard his question and answered with a small smile. "There is a small club nearby that I like to go to sometimes. Don't worry, it's not one of the ones I used to do my thing in. I would just go there for fun sometimes."

Then she noticed that he was silently offering his hand and she couldn't stop herself from smiling. Even if she had experienced a small moment of panic after their kiss, she reached for his hand without second-guessing herself and even went so far as linking their fingers together as she moved to lead him forward.

The truth was that Tandy had taken the hoodie into consideration when she went about picking up some clothes for him. It made sense to her that he would bring it along because they never knew when they could run into trouble and he would need to take off. Especially with the cops still looking for him at the moment.

She felt like they would be pretty safe in the area they were in at the moment even though she considered asking him to make sure they teleport to firmer ground next time. Luckily, he was holding her hand as she picked her way up the incline without wiping out in her heels which she figured was a feat in itself.

Finally reaching the top, she paused long enough to look this way and that before leading him across the road with a smile. "Dancing. Maybe one or two drinks if you aren't against having that kind of fun. There is also a guy who shows up with a food cart about an hour before closing and he has pretty great burgers that we can grab when we're ready to go."

"Sound good?" She asked, glancing back at him to make sure.

[personal profile] crazy_white_girl 2018-08-23 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
At this moment in time, Tandy had no plans on dancing with anyone else but Ty if she could manage to get him out onto the dance floor. She knew there was a chance that he would say no but she was also betting on the fact that she could probably convince him to give it a go with just enough pleading. It hadn't escaped her that she was pretty good at convincing him to do things after all. But there was one thing she knew he didn't really care for as she glanced at him, correcting herself. "Or we could just drink pop all night if you want. I don't mind."

Then she caught the sight of the smile on his lips and she slowed to study him, her brows pulling together at the same time her lips curved into a curious half-smile. "What? Okay, shut up! I...just..."

Yes, he had managed to get her a little tongue tied but that was only because her mind shot to the idea of being in his arms again which stirred up the memory of kissing him. Not that the memory had been very far from her mind and suddenly she felt a little hot despite the fact that she was wearing a mini dress. She would blame it on the heavy feeling of heat and humidity in the air....and not him.

"What?" She blinked at him again. "What did I start?"

Was he talking about the kiss?
crazy_white_girl: (smiling / pleased)

[personal profile] crazy_white_girl 2018-08-24 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
If she had known that he found this state adorable, Tandy would have been more flustered in a way she had never really been flustered before. She was usually able to control herself or ghost out if she needed to but it was impossible with Ty. It was almost disconcerting that he was able to strike her speechless but there was something nice about it too.

It was definitely preferable to fighting which they had done their fair share of too, especially in the beginning. Oh, there were moments when they still frustrated each other. She was sure it was more on his side than hers since she was constantly doing stupid things but he seemed to take it in stride. Hell, he hadn't even really said anything to her about the time she pushed him over a railing on the second floor of a party into a fountain below. Maybe she would have to apologize for that sometime.

But he had still shown up for her even through it all and she had shown up for him when it mattered because she couldn't imagine letting him sacrifice himself. And now here they were going out for a night on the town like, well, almost like they were a couple.

It made her wonder if people would think that he was her boyfriend and she found she didn't mind the idea. The little flare of panic wasn't nearly so bad now and she was curious when he told her that they could talk about it inside. Deciding that he was right, she turned her attention ahead and strode forward. Then, as if she could sense that he was nervous, she gave his fingers a squeeze as she greeted the guy at the door. The bouncer barely looked at them while waving them inside, causing Tandy to smirk back in triumph at Ty before they plunged into the darkness of the club.

She thought again about getting a drink but the only stop they made was by a chair where he placed his hoodie. Turning around to face him, she smiled as she started moving back onto the dance floor, still holding his hand and starting to shimmy her hips to the music while he followed.

The lights flashed over them both, making her stand out a little with her white dress and blonde hair but she only had eyes for him as he started to move. There was no hiding her smile or the fact that she was impressed by the way he could move. So she slid close again, sliding one hand to one of his shoulders and her other arm looped loosely around his shoulders while she rose up to whisper in his ears. "Color me surprised. You've actually got some moves!"
