She puts on a pure white mask like snow and a pure white dress that clings to her form and pale leggings that flash in the night. She wants to be seen. It's going to piss him off, her brother hiding under a green hood.
She fights with him and he takes it as a threat, because he's never been really good at playing on a team. She shows up night after night in her stupid mask that he should see through (but won't) and her too-tight dress and thigh-high boots and waits.
She fights with him until he accepts her and in that brief moment of silence between not-fighting and fighting, she pushes him against a wall and thrusts her tongue in his mouth, tasting every part of him. He pulls her closer, his hands running up her back and pressing her thin form into his own chest. He bites too hard and she tastes blood in her mouth and the sigh of contentment that oozes out of her only makes him push harder.
He has a scar on his knee from when he was eight or nine, falling off of a jungle gym. Tommy says he climbed to the top where you aren't supposed to go and lost his balance. There's a gash on his leg the size of her hand and she is crying because her brother is invincible, he can't be broken, and they laugh at her - her brother and her not-brother - and it's the first time she's seen someone bleed. There is a first time for everything. She knows later that there is never a last time for this. She associates blood with his strength and pulls it around her like a blanket against the cold.
She wears her mask when she slips into his window and he doesn't ask questions, she crawls between them and for the first time feels whole. It hurts, loving them, they leave bite marks on her shoulders and she draws blood from their backs. They cry out and she cries.
In the morning her mask is at the foot of the bed and she's in the kitchen flipping pancakes in his shirt (doesn't matter which one) with the marks they left on her skin exposed forever.
She exposes them all, rips them open and feasts on the bloody remains, and they hate her for it and they love her for it. And it hurts so good she never lets them go again.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WANTED IT, BUT I DID AND NOW ITS HERE AN ITS AMAZING.
THEA AND HOW SHE'S ALWAYS FALLING FOR HER BROTHER(S) AND HOW SOMEHOW BLOOD IS MIXED IN WITH EVERYTHING. WITH WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY MEAN AND HOW IT MAKES HER SEE OLIVER DIFFERENTLY IN HER EYES AND HOW THEY BITE INTO HER SKIN AND SHE TEARS INTO THERE'S. BECAUSE THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS JUST AS MUCH ABOUT PAIN AS IT IS ABOUT LOVE.
AND AND AND-- SHE LETS MALCOLM TRAIN HER BUT THEN SHE KILLS HIM HERSELF (THE STUDENT DEFEATS THE TEACHER) AND HOW SHE TAKES ALL THOSE THINGS SHE'S LEARNED BACK WITH HER TO GAIN OLIVER'S ATTENTION. SHE'S DONE WAITING, SO SHE DRESSES HERSELF UP IN WHITE, WHEN IT SHOULD PROBABLY BE IN BLACK, AND THEY FIGHT AND THEN THEY KISS AND THEN SHE'S CLIMBING THROUGH THE WINDOW (A FAMILY TRAIT) AND SHE FORCES EVERYTHING INTO THE LIGHT.
AND I JUST LOVE IT ALL.
YOU SHOULD WRITE ALL THE THEA THINGS EVER. if you know all the capslocks didn't you know, prove that.
have i mentioned i love everything you did with this?
THE WAY YOU WRITE THEA (AND TOMMY AND EVERYONE ELSE) NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME HAPPY.
YOU CAPTURE HER SO PERFECTLY.
I'M HOLDING OUT HOPE THAT IT CAN STILL HAPPEN, THAT THERE'S TIME AND THAT ITS BASICALLY REVEALED THAT HE HAD AN EVIL PLAN ALL ALONG AND THAT HE USED THE GOOD GUYS TO GET WHAT HE WANTED. SO YOU KNOW THERE'S NO MORE HANDWAVING VIA THE WRITING IMO. OR THERE SHOULDN'T BE. SO YOU KNOW, ONE DAY THE STUDENT WILL APPEAR AND SHOOT THE TEACHER DOWN (THREE TIMES) AND THEN GIVE THE RING TO NYSSA TO TAKE OVER AS LEADER.
