I haven't seen the second season of
Heroes - I mean, I've seen a few episodes but I don't know, I lost interest? I still love Nathan, though. and Petrellicest of 'course.
I've found my old Petrellicest drabble-things I wrote waaay back--- oh, I don't even remember when but it was a long time ago. I've gotten a bit nostalgic when I saw them and well, I'll just post them here, yanno? Sorry it's capitalization-less.
wish - a lone star shoots through the sky and peter closes his eyes; he imagines that it's not a star but something--
someone else riding the night skyline.
need -
i'm so sorry, peter overhears the doctor telling his mother, and even though her strangled cry breaks his heart into little pieces, right now - inhaling and exhaling in short, raspy breaths - his mind, body, soul and just fingers seek for the strong, confident and protecting hand of his beloved brother.
dream - his yawn is cut short as he starts blinking confusedly; even though he can see that it's Heidi curled up against his chest, he could swear he just looked not into his wife's metallic blue eyes but into a pair of warm coco brown ones.
search - nathan had moments when he simply hated his life, especially when instead of hanging out with his friends when he was twelve he had to study under his father's watchful eyes. he never really was a child, so when a new one came to his family, a little baby boy, he couldn't help but be envious. a few short years later though he understood that he found his childhood here, with peter, the biggest gift of all, living out the things nathan couldn't have and sharing them with him; those thoughs flied through nathan's mind as he pushed the swing, smiling with his heart beating faster in his chest.
destroy - he ran as fast as speedy gonzales, speed of light on his frail, thin legs. tripping on a rock blurred out of his vision by frantic tears he felt a shoe connect with his rib. he almost reached the doors this time, almost, but safety is always too far away. he heard and felt something drop heavily on the pavement - an army bag - and looking up he saw a figure of a man, comfortingly familiar, dressed in a beautifully cut uniform, rage just reaching his eyes. peter smiled tearfully.
he's back. home reached him this time.
fly - nathan knew this flying thing would become a problem, especially when peter got high - both literally and figuratively. he pondered if he should call the firefighters when peter got stuck between branches of an old oak tree, yelping and whining like a very vocal kicked kitten.
swim - he had the luck to see nathan flying around just in his underwear today, rushing to get ready to leave. peter sat transfixed in his chair, gaze following the man around like he was watching a tennis game, taking in the lean, rippling muscles, still untouched by aging. he fidgeted in his seat, beginning to feel ashamedly hot around his collar, when nate's eyes snapped to his, catching him red-handed. suddenly the air was as thick as water and just swallowing felt like drowning.
freeze - sometimes nathan wishes that he could stop time when peter was the cute as a button two years old, joyful six years old, or the adventurous eleven years old, not the jaded twenty-seven years old that he is now
jump - nathan told him that you've got to reach your goals one step at a time, so now peter was smiling cheerfully while rubbing his sore feet, after a few hours of using a pogo stick without a minute of rest; he was determined, he's
sure he will soar through the skies one day.
run - peter rolled his eyes as he fumbled with the shoelaces of his both shoes sneakily tied together; he's never going to invite nate to play tag with him, never again!
mother - nathan guessed it was understandable and very right that after his mother said that 'she knew all along' his breath got painfully caught in his throat, but very, very wrong that after she clarified that she meant their powers he sighed happily.
father - he loved his father, he really did. he just loved nathan, his mom, heidi, his nannies, his flat, the fridge, his new converse shoes, his toothbrush, orbit gum and his neighbors' iguana much more.
brother - all those couples, they barked out empty words about how they're 'connected by soul, mind, heart'... but which one could say that they were
actually connected by something, by blood?
sister - do you know the feeling when you know you have to shoot a photo but you don't have your camera with you? peter knew it all to well, especially the day after nathan's bachelor party, when was woken up by a completely drunk nate, smeared lipstick sloppily painted on his mouth, a dress ripping off his broad shoulders with every small move he made.
I've also written about three complete fics - one is dream-like, confusing and I don't think I handled it well, the second one is a long-ish comedy one, the third is Heidi-centric about her life. They probably won't be posted, because I--- well, I have issues with them.
By the way, Cat Power has some amazing songs.
Lived in Bars,
Hate,
Cross Bones Style,
Ice Water--- they're
incredible.
Completely unrelated IRL note - I quite like my social life lately. I meet up with different people, not those I see every time when I go out. T'was awkward at times but hell, making new friends is never a bad thing, no? Like today I completely accidentally met up and spent several hours with this girl I meet with basically only when we're going out in a wider group of friends, and her classmate who I know briefly (who is just so fucking
adorable, she's such a doll). It was fun! And tomorrow I'm going to help find fitting jeans for this guy, I also met up with him and his girlfriend once, and with them and their group of friends too.
The only downside of this? I don't have time to meet up/talk with my older friends. Which kind of sucks, to be honest, I'll have to work out some time for her, seriously. Yeah, I'm talking about just one person now. Sorry Arleen, I hope I'll find some time for you soon, love. D;
