Once upon a time, as cliche as that may seem, there was small fishing village by the edge of the sea. Opposing the vast ocean were mountains and valleys--tall and steep and dry and deep. Covered in thick snow and filled with thicker forests, unexplored and uncharted. Dangerous and unknown. But, the

“Ah good, Lestrade, you’re here. John’s having some sort of crisis about this relationship, sort it out, will you?” John glared at him. “Actually, you’re just clarifying some things for me,” he snapped. “Been one of those mornings, has it?” Greg asked. “You two are right idiots, sometimes.

“You don’t have to be nervous.” “I’m not!” He says as he rights himself, flopping down onto the couch with a petulant huff and turns his attention back to the silver haired man – tracking his movements as he comes to stand in front of Kaveh. His presence is looming and overwhelming, the scent of aged leather and decaying paper hitting him in the face as if he had just thrown open the doors to an ancient library. Intoxicating would be a good word for it, his body instinctively shifting forwards to draw himself closer into this man’s gravitational pull. A hand tucks under Kaveh’s chin, nudging it upwards as a thumb soothes along his jaw. “Could have fooled me, Kaveh.” His lips curl up slightly as he holds him there, his grip tightening ever so slightly. “It’s alright, it’s natural to be a bit nervous. Especially if this is your first time doing something like this. Are you familiar with the color system?”

This isn’t something that she’s ever really fantasized about, not in any real detail; on the rare occasions when Archie wasn’t the star of her inner mind’s show, the girls that floated into her head were always anonymous, composed of ever-changing facial features that were usually hidden beneath a thick layer of hair or buried between her legs. She has a feeling that, if things keep going the way they are, the girl in her fantasies is going to have a very familiar face. Or: the one where Betty and Veronica share a bed at a sleepover and share their second kiss (and then some).
