If I had to compare Zee to an animal? I’d definitely have to call her a cat. What kind? Not sure, but she’s feline if ever someone was. She’s delicate and indestructible, slinky and sneaky and sexy as hell. She’s warm and loving, but she’s so much alone and she likes it that way. She’s an island unto herself, it’s her way or no way. It’s funny how little compromise is in her when we find our own middle ground all the time.

Maybe she’s a housecat that way. Not like it sounds, but like they really are. We got two of ‘em, and I think they like her a little better than me ‘cause they get her. Zee’s a hunter, but she’s a hunter with a safe harbor. She knows her environment, where the food and shelter are at and she chooses them. Dangerous as she is, she’s safe to be close to ‘cause she has her needs provided for. Hardy and Kel got Friskies and the spot by my feet on the bed, Zee? She has music, sex, and yeah, food.

And she’s got me. For whatever that means to her, she’s got everything I have. And it must mean something, ‘cause she stays. Like the cats, I can leave the door open and she won’t run away ‘cause she’s got a good thing here. She’ll scratch me if I test her patience or pull her tail, and she’ll kill anyone that messes with her young, but just like the goddamn cats she’s in bed with me every morning when I wake up.

She’s not domesticated, but I’d like to think she’s content.

I don’t own her, never have. Like our furry kids, she chose me, and as long as I respect her and let her have her head? She’ll allow me to call her mine.

Reach out and touch me
Before I go insane
Reach out and touch me
Boy don't you make me wait
I'm a diamond and you're so on the money
Reach out and touch me
And all I need is to feel you
Reach out and touch me

NOTE: takes place Tommy's first night home from New York. This is also per [livejournal.com profile] zee_ali's request...happy belated birthday, babe! I love you more than Joanie loves Chachi!!!! :P

Your Risk Taking Level: Medium



What's life without a few risks?

You're willing to be daring when the time is right.



You know that there's no reward in life without risk.

You just always make sure that you look before you leap.



And I totally spaced out on my fatherly duties, been too busy getting settled in again. The day before we left New York May hit a huge milestone.

She stood up. My baby girl's on her way to becoming a walker.

We were at Bee's place and she used the dog to get to her feet. Turn my head and she's standing there with her hands on the puppy and fighting to stay up. She stood for a full minute before she had to plop down again, but since we got home it's all she wants to do. Thank God Prom is bigger than Irina and patient as the day is long, she's always crawling after him to do her little workout routine.

Zee says she's as obsessive as I am. I say she's as stubborn as her mother.

Anyway, I'm off to drive four hours to a town that has the jail cell I'll need for my latest stunt, then off to get eviscerated. I'll let you folks know how that turns out.





...seriously, I'm kidding. Late rehearsal, we're working on a new sawing in half illusion. Catch you guys later.
magic_fratboy: (emote - lovin' on puppies)
We walk through the door, and there's a huge pile of shit waiting for us in the foyer. Dad's been feeding the animals while I was gone, so had to have happened today.

Future reference: don't warn the furry children when we're coming home. They'll plan revenge on us for being away so long.

Translation? We're back in Vegas, Zee's getting used to the new house...and Sassy? You better haul your ass over here to say hello before Zee starts making cannolis and makes my waistline disappear.
magic_fratboy: (may - a father's love)
NOTE: Bee is [livejournal.com profile] deep_red_bells and Zee is [livejournal.com profile] zee_ali. Both are used without permission but lots of love. :P

“Wow…get a load! Bee, that’s--”

“Puh!”

“May, no…that’s just--”

“Puh! Puuuuuh, popo!”

“Mayilia…”

“PopopopPOOO!”

Wincing a little at the tiny shriek, Tommy flashed Baileigh an apologetic grin as he passed the snapshot to Zee and set May on the floor. She promptly, and only a bit clumsily, got onto her hands and knees and started crawling towards the massive German Shepherd that was laying about a foot away. )

He knew the first time he went to draw her.

In the days before they realized their attraction, when he would awake intermittently to find her tangled in his sheets, he lay watching her body half-bare to his gaze and fought the urge. Soon it became a compulsion, driving him from his bed and into the guest room where he kept his drawing supplies.

He knew when the lines came with ease, dark slow strokes and lighter lines that captured the lean planes of her stomach and thighs. Sharp angles for her hips and features, careful shading to create the fullness of her lower lip and the soft fall of her hair against her cheek…it was a magic he’d never touched before.

He was half done with the sketch when it occurred to him that she was still in the other room, that he was capturing the essence of this woman from memory.

Even when he slipped back in to finish the sketch, he rarely looked up at her to get the pose he wanted. Details and feelings danced through his head and heart, teasing and tormenting him as he struggled to create a perfect representation of that boundless energy in repose. It was easier to pull the lines from his memory because they were more readily available to him than they were to his eyes.

Without his being aware of it, Ziyah had begun haunting his thoughts. Her face, her body, her essence…he had memorized them without even realizing it. She was so close he could smell her, taste her, so near that he could feel her even when they were apart.

He knew he had to be in love with her when he realized that he could draw her better with closed eyes than he could with them open.

You Are Fairly Normal in Love



When it comes to love, you have fairly normal ideas and expectations.

Your relationships and ideas may be a bit quirky at times...

But you see love the same way as most people do.



Why You Are Normal in Love



You are normal because you first fell in love when you were 18 or younger.



You are normal because you believe a long distance relationship can work.



Why You Aren't Normal in Love



You are abnormal because you kiss on the first date.



You are abnormal because you have been in love with two people at the same time.



For the record? Not only is the kissing thing insane, but seriously, this meme is unfair to those of us who've lived more than once. Sure, I love more than one person at the same time: I'm marrying Zee, I still love Bess, and I'll go to the end of days loving Pandora. She's the reason I'm here.

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go kill my cousin before the Darkness beats me to it.
magic_fratboy: (emote - okay i'll bite)
 
Behold... My Future
  I will marry Zee.  
  After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in California in our fabulous Apartment.  
  We will have 8 kid(s) together.  
  Our family will zoom around in a Black Harley Davidson.
  I will spend my days as a Short Order Chef, and live happily ever after.  
 
whats your future
 



See, baby? Even the meme knows we're meant to be.

It’s a trifling piece of sadism, but he can’t feel guilty about it any more than he can bring himself to turn out the light to let her sleep. She frowns, tosses and turns in his arms, but he can’t see well enough in the dark to satisfy the hunger to look his fill.

For the first night in months, he lies awake and finds his rest as his fingers map the contours of her face and body. There are wonders to be had in the simple act of mapping her face with his fingers or nuzzling her neck to feel the pulse beat strong against the skin. She sighs in her sleep as he trails his index finger down the valley between her breasts, stirs when his toes brush up her calf ticklishly.

More than once, his eyes stray to the ring on her finger, the one she won’t take off. Bruises and cuts on his body remain from where her hands dug in too tight and brushed carelessly, frantically to touch as they made love. Where the diamond found him and left its mark, he still feels the burn and relishes it. He lived with memories for too long, the reality cuts like a knife and burns with the ache in his muscles and the cuts on his skin.

He can finally rest, but the miracle of watching Zee sleep won’t let him. More than awe fills him, power whispers through every touch of skin on skin. Love reclaimed heals his broken heart, justice to serve clears his hazy memory, and faith restored rekindles the fire of magic he lost the day he lost her.

For the first time in months, he is as he once was. He is Tommy Karras again…and he’s glad.

May's starting to try and talk, and she's been a chatterbox since I got Zee back to Boney's place. I think she almost said 'uh oh' earlier, and she's trying to say 'picture' when she looks at Zee, but ain't getting further than 'poo.' I show her Zee's picture every night before bed, so I think she recognizes her.

Also got some good news, but I'm saving it for a post of its own, so...catch you all later.

You Are Snow



You are peaceful and calm. You are able to enjoy each moment.

You have a pure, gentle spirit. People automatically trust you.



You have a playful, adventurous spirit. You still feel like a kid.

You are able to find the joy in any situation. You are blissful.



For the record, I want to apologize to everyone I've been kind of weird around lately. Bee, Sass, Chan, and my new co-worker...Steph, right?

Uh...anyway.

I'm in New York right now, and I'm back to normal. May's with me, and we're both doing fine.

Zee's home.

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me


She’s on the far side of him, wrapped in concrete and steel behind a wall of glass and wood. She’s in clothes that don’t quite fit, hair hanging in eyes that haven’t seen the impossible shadows. Darkness fills them, empty and afraid, but innocence in her face tells him what the voice droning in the distance is already getting to.

“…traumatic events have caused retrograde amnesia. We don’t know if she’ll ever remember who she is or what happened, we can only hope. It’s the only way to find…”

He lets the voice fall away again as he moves towards the two way mirror separating them. She’s standing now, idly wandering around the perimeter of the room. For months, he’s been wrapped in a sense of this, the moment before he walked through the door and saw her there in concrete and steel.

The wait was over... )

He spits another piece of ice into the crimson-stained drain, mouth numb and still somehow burning with agony as he contemplates the sight of his own blood marring the sterile white of his kitchen sink, offset by the coffee-stained white of the tooth he lost in the earlier fight.

It’s wrong and it’s ghastly, but he’s not shocked by it. The piece of ice glitters like a diamond, catching the color of each stain as it slides and rattles almost cheerfully when it hits the surface and settles in to nestle in the little chrome sieve just above the pipe.

It stings…but it’s beautiful... )

In other news, while I been going stir crazy waiting for some word on Zee, I've been thinking a lot about the multitude of ways I've screwed up in life. With Zee, with my daughter, with my life before, fucking everything.

So I called my Aunt Zephyr about...well, you could call it a family heirloom. She talked to Boney and my uncle and said I could have it.

The second Zee gets home...I'm done fucking things up.
magic_fratboy: (emote - tranquil)
Anyone that says the perfect couple shares a connection is insane. I’m talking about all the time, being eternally bound heart and soul to another human being. It’s crap, a big steaming pile of it.

Being with Zee’s never been that way for me…we’re at odds a lot. We fought, we clashed, we didn’t agree on a lot. Sure, the stuff that counts, the stuff that brought us together, but we didn’t work ‘cause we shared some sorta perfect bond. We worked hard to make things work, but in between we had…moments.

Sometimes it was a fraction of an instant, sometimes it was a chance encounter in bed that we’d draw out, laying there as our eyes met and just basking. It was a moment where the power of what we had washed over us, the intensity of this perfect, shining thing we felt carving a moment out of time that only we could fill. We felt it, we accepted it…and we understood the power of loving each other.

There’s a great deal of peace in the perfect comprehension of being imperfect. Half of a person, a tiny part in something great and beautiful, it’s a humbling and addictive experience. That’s why love works: you start jonesing for the high of being complete.

Love is completion, peace, but it’s not a constant thing. It’s moments carved out of time, places in the fabric of existence that belong to us and us alone. We have each other only as long as we live, and we have our memories until our minds fade, but those pieces of reality itself?

Those belong to us forever.

NOTE: Too long for a drabble, but the muse got wordy. :P

She would’ve bought him a cake, decorated…she would’ve made it fun. That’s why he goes and gets a small one, smiling and aching as he finds a black tombstone candle for the top.

Alone, he lights the wick and watches it burn. He thinks of the Voisin, his own birthday six months before, and as the wax drips down he thinks of the death that’s been hanging on his soul for far too long.

In the light of the flame, he sees a shadow of her face. Shutting his eyes, he stares at the afterimage behind his eyelids until it fades and the candle burns down to nothing but a puddle of wax, dark as blood in moonlight against the thick white frosting.

Not exactly a fan, but Bee's into DANCING WITH THE STARS and showed me a clip from a couple seasons ago...one of the couples danced to this song, and it struck a chord.

I don't think I need to say that this goes out to Zee. I love you...and I'm waiting.
