  ❛ what the fuck is referencing? ❜   apparently he’d missed a lot.  with something between a frown and a sigh,  finn pulled out his laptop  ー  which was so old it barely ran,  but he couldn’t afford better right now  ー  and coaxed it to life.  maybe there was something posted online.  he definitely hadn’t looked before coming to class.  ❛ as long as there’s no test. ❜

「 he shrugged and slid his hand up his cheek and through his hair, fingers combing through messy locks. as his hand dropped to his lap, he straightened up in his seat.  ❝ just an essay over the break. ❞ all that meant was he had several weeks to procrastinate writing it, and then rush it out the night before. as long as he passed.

the professor asked a question, hawk-like gaze sweeping over the students before him. murphy sunk down into his seat, refusing to make eye contact with the teacher. blessedly, some poor soul in the front row got picked on instead.

❝ what hole have you been in the last two weeks anyway? ❞ 」

      _{whatever it was in the atoms that made up this college campus,  finn was chronically allergic to it.  after spending the last two days miserable in his dorm,  though,  he had to suck it up and get back to class.  disgruntled,  he sat down beside murphy.  ❛ did i miss anything important? ❜}

「 the professors droning almost always seemed to give him a headache. in one ear, out the other. if he literally wasn’t holding his head up with one hand, elbow pressing uncomfortably into the desk, murphy would probably have collapsed onto it and fallen asleep.

when finn dropped down beside him, he turned his head, cheek squished into his palm, to glance at the other boy.  ❝  just more of the same old shit. ❞  his gaze flicked briefly back towards the front, ❝ i think he’s talking about referencing. riveting stuff. ❞ 」

❝well, shit ❞ ～ finn, misc sentences

「 the beginnings of a mischievous smile tickled his lips and a laugh bubbled up in murphy’s throat. he glanced briefly at the boy standing beside him, before fixing his gaze back on the devastated table top.

❝ i did warn you about partnering with me for the science experiment. ❞  」

❝ i’ve got your back, okay? ❞ ～ harper, misc sentences

「 her words hit him in a dark, sensitive spot that he liked to pretend didn’t exist anymore. it didn’t seem to matter how much bullshit they survived or how many years had passed in space, part of him couldn’t let go of the scared, angry boy who’d been kicked out of camp way back when. the part of him that has always screamed ❛ SURVIVE at any cost ❜.

but that voice had started to quieten. gradually, he was able to see through the burning cloud of mistrust, and change the narrative. sometimes the cost was too high. he didn’t have to be alone anymore.

so after a brief pause, he looked over at the woman he’d begun to consider family, and offered her a tight smile. ❝ same goes. ❞ 」

         _{❛ you did nothing wrong. ❜   /   @sarcasiisms​}

he snorted, shaking his head disdainfully.  it was nice of her to say, but he didn’t believe it for a second.  ❝ do you really think that’s how the others will see it? ❞

_{@sarcasiisms  →  starter !}

       _{the world was burning below them and there was nothing any of them could do about it.  finn was just glad to be alive;  glad to be up here safe with raven and their friends…  at the cost of clarke’s life,  which he was certain didn’t sit easily on anyone’s conscience.  he hadn’t wanted to leave anyone behind.  earth had chosen differently for them.}

_{he was cleaning up dishes from monty’s first successful batch of algae when the sudden thought came to mind.  ❛ hey, murphy.  remember that knife i gave you?  was it ever helpful? ❜  he hadn’t been brave enough to turn away from clarke and bellamy,  but he’d tried to help regardless.}

「 the taste of algae seemed to linger, like a stain in his mouth. he swept his tongue across his gums, as if he could wipe it away. when it didn’t work, surprise, a scowl settled on his features, eyes darkening with a pessimistic prediction of their new life. rationally he knew it was their only chance of survival. but that didn’t mean he liked it.

he hadn’t moved from where he’d sat during the meal, arms folded on the table, staring at the opposite wall like it’d eventually start speaking and give an alternative. when finn spoke, he didn’t respond immediately, but his head cocked slightly in the other mans direction.

after a long, slow breath, ❝ i still have it actually. ❞ call him sentimental. just maybe not to his face. 」
