new years eve party! ota
WHO: Everybody!
WHERE: De Chima Grand Hotel (and the entire block around it)
WHEN: December 31st, 2017
WHAT: New Years Eve Bash!
WARNINGS: Drinking, partying, etc.
[De Chima's Grand Hotel is the city's most luxurious and expensive hotel, mirroring the sophistication and art-forward nature of the neighborhood that surrounds it. The space inside is an electic mix of cast-iron detailing and majestic masonry columns, all of which create a leap from the street outside to the accomodations inside. Bruce rented the entire hotel months in advance, wanting to make a gesture to imPorts and native citizens for all of the turmoil they endured over the past year. Now, instead, they could all come together and celebrate their entry into a new year, and hopefully, better circumstances.
The hotel leads party-goers up the iron wrought grand stair, hand painted silver leaf ceiling overhead, to equally beautiful hand painted elevator doors. It takes them all the way to the rooftop, a spacious outdoor oasis with unobstructed views to De Chima's own glittering New Years Eve ball. There's a premium open bar, with catered hors d'oeuvres and dessert stations. Festive hats, horns, and noisemakers are complimentary as well as Champagne at midnight.
Not to be outdone, Tony Stark has the entire street outside of the hotel set up with a DJ and the largest speaker setup anyone has ever seen, blasting an upbeat playlist of blood-pumping music. Woden is, unfortunately, uninvited from performing after the events of last month, his photo passed around to security and bouncers alike to remove him from performing. Unfortunately, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, who had planned on attending, is immediately removed from the premises by mistake. He can be heard screaming through his vocodor that there is some sort of mistake, but his cries go untended. As with the rooftop above, complimentary Champane and alcohol is served at ground level.
At midnight, the countdown begins to 2018, with a fireworks display the moment the ball drops at 12:00, a joint effort between both billionaires, and one of the few things the both of them could actually agree upon for the evening. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE AT MOM!]

He offers his free hand, keeping the other one on Ronan's. If he's going to fight with Gansey, he certainly doesn't want to do it in the middle of this party. Even if they're not going to fight, he's just ruined the mood and he doesn't want to be here anymore. "Home, please. My room."
no subject
He takes Adam's hand and pulls he and Ronan through a portal leading directly into Adam's room.
When they're all safely through, Gansey continues:]
Tired of being how?
no subject
[He takes his hand back and extricates himself gently from Ronan. It doesn't feel right to keep cuddling with Ronan now that the conversation's taken a turn. He doesn't want to let Ronan leave, but he also doesn't want to rub in how naturally he and Ronan have been getting on lately when he and Gansey only ever seem to fight.]
I can't seem to stop. I'm frustrated with you all the time.
[Adam goes to his bed, sitting down and leaning back against the pillows. He hugs one knee to his chest, watching Gansey.]
I don't think it's you, either. Or at least that it's not your fault.
no subject
I'm not sure what recourse we have, then.
no subject
I loved it when it was just the four of us. A complete set. There was something... tidy about it.
Ever since we started dating outside of the Raven boys, I've been crazy with insecurity. Jealousy.
[Adam picks at the knee of his trousers. The fine, expensive fabric of the tuxedo. It feels all wrong for this.]
I know it's not that, either. It wasn't perfect. You and Noah always were missing Blue and wanting to be with her. It just seemed right, when it was the four of us, but it's only because that's all there was and because the fractures--mostly mine--hadn't had any chance to spread.
I think I need a break.
no subject
He's silent for a few long uncomfortable seconds as he processes.]
A break? Is that any different from "breaking up"?
no subject
[Adam's eyes flick up, lingering on Gansey for a moment and then away. He loosens his bow tie, tugging it free from his neck and letting it fall carelessly aside.]
A break-up has more connotations of me not loving you anymore.
A break has more to do with I still love you but I'm overwhelmed. Something's not working and I can't figure out why. I want things to be simpler.
[His gaze strays toward Ronan, then returns to Gansey. Now that he's chosen this course, he's dedicated to it. There's certainty in his eyes, determined to see his decision through.]
Call it what you want.
no subject
(Or is he leaving all of them?)
Though he's been watching Adam the whole time, Ronan looks at Gansey now, pushing a thought at him: Don't you dare blame yourself for this. Adam is just this way, has been ever since they met him, and no amount of kindness or sacrifice on Gansey's part will fix what's broken here.
His next words are out loud, to Adam:]
Should I go?
no subject
Ronan's thought cuts through the whirlwind of his own, and Gansey's glad that Ronan can no longer read his thoughts. The only acknowledgment is a brief stilling of Gansey's person, there and gone.
How could Gansey not blame himself? Everyone was having a great time at their respective NYE parties until Gansey showed up, careless and giddy. And now here they are.
His expression closes off to further emotional fluctuations.]
Then...I'll leave you both. [His own gaze flickers up to Ronan, blank, before he turns to exit Adam's room.]
no subject
Gansey. [He gets up, taking a few steps toward them both. His heart clenches with hurt and regret.] I love you. I just need some... time.
[It's Ronan who he goes to, curling his fingers loosely around Ronan's wrist. Making clear to them both that Ronan will be staying.]
no subject
He's decided that it hurts when he sees Adam go over to Ronan.
Gansey nods.]
That I can give you. Good night. [Because it feels too weird to say "I love you" back right now, even if he means it with his entire being.]
