OPEN SHIP WITH ME POST

[desertions]

I'm in a very shippy mood and mostly on top of my tags right now so I thought instead of combing through memes I'd leave this as an open post.

Basically leave me prompts: quotes, pictures, song lyrics, whatever with a muse and what muse of mine you want and we'll see what happens. Alternately, if you don't request a specific muse you can leave it up to me to choose who i throw at them.

I make no apologies for the choices made when that happens.

So please, come and enjoy all the ships with me!!

Sometimes her heart aches for home. For the familiar. She misses their friends, she feels like a traitor. But they can't go back. None of them can. Not with all that's happened, all that could happen. They had to run, they had to. Although there were a few nights, when she was so homesick she physically ached, that she made him whisper that to her. We had to run.

Most of the time they have fun, they can forget why they're travelling and just have a good time exploring. She swears they'll go across some ocean soon but right now, while their mothers are alive, she can't stand the idea of going that far. Just in case.

They're on some back road in Georgia (or maybe it's Mississippi, she fell asleep at one point). It's the closest they've been to home in almost a year, she knows that much. As she gazes up at the sky, she thinks the stars look more familiar this close to home. She almost remarks on it before she feels the truck dip, just a little, with his weight as he climbs into the bed of it. She lifts one corner for him so he can climb beneath it. It's getting colder but it's not unbearable. "They really are," she murmurs softly, offering him a smile. "There's so many."

We had to run. Sometimes he has to say it for himself as much for her. But for the most part, they have fun. They make the most of it -- pretend like it's a romantic runaway trip and not something they're doing just to stay alive.

It works, mostly.

He's pretty sure they're in Mississippi by now. Sometimes it's hard to keep track -- and sometimes it's just simply easier not to. But it is the closest they've been to home in a long, long time. He gets under the covers with her, wrapping an arm around her tightly as he does so.

"There are. Kinda makes me wish I had ever bothered learning constellations."

But Tyler was always too busy doing other things as a kid -- learning had never been very high on his list of priorities.

She doesn't move away from him when he wraps his arm around her. In fact, she leans in to press a kiss to his cheek. "Good thing I know most of them." Knowing Caroline, she probably wanted to be an astronaut when she was little.

Some find it a surprise how much Caroline knows, underneath that perky blonde is a real student, even if it's not so much a love of learning as it is a love of being the best. So when he mentions the constellations, she settles against him with a grin, pointing to the left, naming some constellation before moving onto the next, describing it. "Obviously you know Orion's belt. That's the easiest one to know."

"Good thing," He says in complete agreement. It doesn't surprise Tyler -- she's always been an overachiever really. It's one of the many, many things he loves about her.

He's more than content listening to them and when she points out Orion's belt he nods a little.

"Yeah, I know like that and the two Dippers. That's about it."
