{Mermaid!AU} Haechan

haechan really should wear gold more often (a petition im willing to start) other mermaid aus can be found (here)

“you were just born with two left feet, huh?”

is the first thing you heard when you signed up for ‘ballroom dance’ in middle school

the person who had said it, a boy who laughed when you puffed up and exclaimed “of course not!” was none other than the boy who now sat before you

years later

grinning as he overturned the paper in his hands

“i got into the korean ballet academy!”

you grab the paper and light up

“haechan - this is amazing!”

he leans back in his chair, propping his hands under his bed like he’s lying on the beach

and not just sitting in your homeroom classroom

“well i am amazing. you should know this.”

you scrunch up your nose, but don’t argue

when it comes to ballet, or dancing in general, haechan is just natural at it

his body has the ability to flow like water

you’d started out envious - in middle school when you and haechan were waltz partners

and he got the routine down in one practice while it had taken you five,,,,and even then some

but over the years you grew to admire it

especially when haechan dropped ballroom for ballet

at first, jisung and renjun had poked fun at haechan for his new hobby

but you thought it was downright cool that you’d become the friend of someone who dreamt of becoming a professional dancer

and at that, a national dancer for the korean ballet

you’d been to every show haechan had participated in throughout highschool

from his first nutcracker, to swan lake, to cinderella, to giselle, and to performances you couldnt even pronounce the name of

his pamphlet of ‘les fetes chinoises’ hangs up in your bedroom because it was the first ballet where haechan’s photo was printed front and center

many people in haechan’s group would idle around you and ask the same thing every time

“are you dating haechan?” “you and haechan are awfully close,,,,” “you guys are so cute together!”

the comments would make you laugh, because if anything you were just haechan’s friend and - a fan

a fan of his dancing

because for everything haechan was in school with you, the sharp tongued and confident young guy who liked to make sarcasm the root of his conversations

when he danced he was so much more than that

“so what’s your secret?”

you’d ask and haechan would shrug “practice.”

“there has to be more than that - it’s like your body was born to dance!”

haechan grins, “you could say it has something to do with that.”

then he leans over and flicks your forehead playfully

“or maybe you’re just born to be bad it”

but as you hold haechan’s acceptance letter - you think that your future with him and all your friends is dwindling down to the last couple months of school

you’ve been accepted to your dream college, haechan has been accepted to his academy

as of now - the clock was just ticking till you parted ways

“so, when you’re in the academy you’ll be doing like,,,,fancy performances for people with money?”

haechan tucks the letter safely back into his backpack

swatting jisung’s mischievous hands when he walks by and tries to snatch it

“mhmm, no more free ballet performances at the school festivals.”

you feel a sort of cold sadness wash over you

fancy ballets? you wouldn’t have money to see that

“you’ll be traveling too - right?”

“of course, the korean ballet does an asia tour every season almost.”

traveling? i won’t be able to see you for a while then,,,,,,

“that’s so cool - i hope you’ll get the main parts!”

haechan laughs

suddenly reaching over and tousling your hair

“you’re so obvious - just say that you’ll miss me.”

you feel your face flare up and you pull away

“shuttup - anyway, won’t you be in the last school ballet before graduation.”

“yep, we’re doing midsummer nights dream.”

you smile a little to yourself

it might be your last time to see haechan dance again,,,,,

“speaking of which, i have practice. see you around!”

haechan gathers his things, casually waving and giving jisung a playful tap on the back of his head as he walks out

you sit there, thinking back on your memories of haechan dancing and find yourself wondering all over again

is there a secret to being so good?

the weeks till graduation pass rather quickly

until finally you find yourself nervously seated beside all your other friends at the ballet performance

you can tell no one picks up on your anxiety - but mark, who’d come to visit from college, throws a curious look your way

“is everything ok?”

“y-yeah! im just a little sad this will be my last chance to see haechan dance!”

mark, kind as ever, smiles

“of course its not. it’s just your last time seeing him dance as a none pro. im sure haechan will invite you to his performances in the academy.”

the words soothe you just a bit,,,,,,,but you don’t know how true that is

will life at the academy really let haechan remember you? or anyone from his past?

the lights suddenly dim and everything falls hushed

and you nearly catch your breath when haechan steps out onto the stage dressed as theseus

he has on a pure white toga, ordained in golden cuffs on his arms and anklets on his legs

a crown wreath of gold leaves sits perfectly on his hair

and for a second you think you’re really looking at a greek god

his tan skin and eyes that shimmer from brown to almost yellow like in the lights

are you really looking at haechan and not a prince?

the music starts after a breath speech from the narrator

and once again - haechan’s dancing entices you and everyone in the audience

although ballet seems rigged most of the time - the moves run like waves through haechan

he looks comfortable and poised

even though ballet is grueling

he makes it all look beautiful like a symphony of the human body

and it’s clear why he was accepted to train to be a professional at this

the ballet is short, obviously condensed for teenagers and when it’s over you watch as haechan bows to the crowd

the crown falls off his head and he laughs when someone in the crowd yells for him to throw it

he does an somehow

it lands right in your lap

haechan’s eyes meet yours and for a second it’s a whole new feeling washing over you

before, looking at haechan as just something you did

he was your friend

just like jeno, just like jisung, just like chenle or renjun or mark

but,,,,,,,this feeling was different it was,,,,,,,,,new

it made everything slow down and for a moment the only person you could see clearly was him

and then when haechan’s eyes fell everything tunred back from a blurry mess

“let’s go see him!” mark urges, and you all follow behind him to the stage

haechan hops down when he sees you all approaching

jisung nitpicks at the yoga with his usual jokes

but haechan just touches the crown in your hands

“don’t think i threw it at you or anything”

you almost roll your eyes, but that feeling from before instead maks you blush and look away

mark senses the weird shift and somehow manages to herd the rest of your friend group toward someone else

as you and haechan stand in the slowly emptying gymnasium of your school

“hey, can i ask you something?”

haechan suddenly says

his voice goes low for a moment and you swallow the lump you didn’t know was in your throat

“sure”

“if i ,,,,,,, if i asked you to keep a secret for life, would you be able to?”

you blink, confused for a moment about what haechan is saying or rather implying

but you’re his friend so,,,

“yeah, i mean. isn’t that what friends do - swear to keep secrets?”

haechan doesnt laugh, even though you’d tried to make it a little lighthearted

instead he takes your wrist and quietly asks you to follow him

haechan pulls you through the dark halls of the school

down the stairs to the basement

where the school swimming pool is

the water is still, the bleachers empty and the lifeguard chair is glaring as you and haechan walk by the edge of the deep end

“haechan, what’s going on?”

slowly, fear and doubt start gnawing in your head

what’s this secret? is it something bad? if it is,,,,would you really be able not to tel anyone?

the strobe lights that flicker from the changing rooms highlight the shine of haechan’s profile

his toga bares one of his shoulders were the lines from the light dance on his perfect tan skin

the gold bracelets from his costume clink and echo through the empty pool

“you’re always asking me, what’s my secret. why am i such a good dancer. i think,,,,,,,that if there’s anyone who ought to know the truth behind it - it’s you.”

you don’t understand, your eyebrows knit in frustration

“haechan, im joking around - i know it’s hard work and practice! i never doubted th-”

“it is. it is, but it’s something else too. something ive kept from everyone since i was born and i ,,,,,”

haechan’s usual cheerful, slightly joking tone is gone

his voice has settled into the low, serious one from before

and his eyes have darkened to an almost blackish brown

somehow - in this one moment,,,,you’re a little scared of the boy you’ve known since you were a kid

the boy who maybe

has always meant more to you than just,,,,,,,a friend

“promise me, no matter what - you won’t run away.”

you can’t even find it in yourself to speak

so you nod, shaking when haechan finally lets your hand go and without another word

dives right into the water

on instinct, you let out a shout - concerned with what he’s planning

and when haechan doesn’t come up for air for a while you start to panic

but then

instead of haechan’s head surfacing up in the still water of the pool

you see the golden arch of a tail

of a mermaids tail

it glitters with water on the intricate golden scales and it looks like it’s made of solid gold

that tail,,,,,,,,,is all you remember till you pass out cold

when you wake up your head is resting on someones lap

there’s a cold towel pressed to the skin of your forehead and when you reorientate your sight you see the ceilings of the school pool

what happened?

you ask yourself, everything feels dizzy and muggy and then you feel the towel on your head be peeled away

and then-

“haechan!”

you sit up so fast it hurts and you hear his familiar laugh from behind you

“i didn’t think you’d,,,,,,faint. well at least you didn’t run away.”

slowly everything comes back to you

the ballet performance, haechan’s secret, the,,,,,,,,the golden mermaids tail

it takes a moment for the pieces to fall into place

but when you gasp, haechan’s eyes fall to his hands because he too now knows that you’ve realized it

“you’re a mermaid?”

“sorry it isn’t something cool like a werewolf.”

you shake your head, sitting up straight and trying to find something to say,,,,,,

“i just - it,,,,,since you were a kid?”

haechan lets out a chuckle, “yes, since i was a kid.”

you can tell that even though haechan is being all ,,,,,, sarcasm and lighthearted

he’s nervous

his foot won’t stop bouncing and he isn’t moving closer to you- actually he’s inching away

does he think im scared of him? or disgusted?

suddenly you reach out and take haechan’s hand

he jerks a little in surprised response, but lets you clutch his palm in your own

“is this ,,,,, what you meant when you said you had a secret?”

haechan’s eyes avert to the pool below, but he gives you a tiny nod

you nod too, and then remember

“i promise not to tell anyone. ever.”

you emphasize the ever and haechan again,,,,doesn’t say anything but gives only a small wavering smile as an anwer

after sometime you both get up

your hand falls from haechans and you’re watch his back as he walks out of the pool

you follow behind - your gaze running up the slope of his shoulders up into his hair

it’s haechan,,,,,your friend haechan,,,,,just like he’s been for a while

the same person

walking in front of you on two feet

even though,,,,the person in the water - in the pool only what feels moments ago

that was haechan too

haechan, the mermaid

you rejoin your group of friends who are laughing and talking with the other dancers

mark looks at you past haechan and smiles when he notices how your eyes only linger on haechan

“i always had a feeling about you two.”

he says when you’re all getting ready to leave

“wh-what? we’re just fri-”

“friends dont just disappear from their other friends.”

the night comes to an end, everyone goes home

just you and haechan are left on the bus that pulls up on the street he lives on way too soon

getting up, haechan gives you a wave goodbye

acting as if the days been normal. as if he hadn’t shown you,,,,,what he really was. as if this wasn’t also the last time you’d get to see him dance, so up and close

like this isn’t some of the last times you’ll have together

till he’s gone. out of reach.

you hurry off the bus and haechan turns at the sound of your footsteps

“don’t you have another three stop-”

you run up, holding his face inbetween your hands

“i want to tell you a secret too. you don’t have to keep it. you can tell whoever you want or pretend you never heard it. but you told me yours so im going to tell you mine.”

haechan weaves his eyebrows together, concern apparent on his face

he’s changed out of the costume into his uniform, you look at the person you’ve seen for all these years

he looks normal

but he ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but he isn’t

and not just because he’s a mermaid but because -

“my secret, it’s that i love you.”

and without another thought you press your lips to his, almost comically and not romantically at all

but you do it

because you’re nervous you don’t know what haechan will think

but even if it’s a horrible kiss,,,it’s one you don’t regret giving

until you realize that haechan is slowly easing you off

and you know that means heartbreak is coming

the painful, “i dont feel the same way”

or in haechan’s case something witty to either make you laugh it off or embarrass you

somehow,,,it’s neither

“ok, let’s do that again because i dont want you to be as bad at kissing as you are dancing.”

you blink

“ar- are you making fun of me?”

“no, im asking you to do that again so we can both enjoy it.”

“but do you love me back?”

haechan lets his shoulders fall back

but then he’s grinning

“you think id tell someone i dont love that im a mermaid?”

something blossoms in your chest

some kind of warmth, some kind of new level of happiness

and you let haechan kiss you this time, slower and with more tenderness then you thought possible

haechan walks you home

kisses you enough times that you almost have to put your hands over his lips to get him to stop

and when you get inside, your phone rings and haechan’s message reads

‘just so you know im telling everyone that you confessed. just so they know to back off. but with my secret,,,,keep your promise and don’t tell!’

you text back ‘and what if i break that promise?’

‘then no more awesome mermaid kisses from me’

you giggle, clutching the phone and for once - falling asleep absolutely love sick

the next morning is full of all the teasing you could have imagines

jisung and chenle grab a hold of one and other and reenact dramatically how you and haechan must have confessed

jeno asks you if haechan cried

renjun is the only one who seems genuinely happy for both of you - in a none condescending way

and mark calls only to say that he knew it from the beginning

at some point jaemin is like “whats this about?” and haechan throws his arm around you and goes “they’re mine now”

to which you lean up, flicking haechan’s forehead and going “i think you mean, you’re mine now.”

the happiness that floats around you two and the buzz of new love almost makes you forget

that your future,,,,with haechan,,,,,,,is still at best - minimal

you and haechan finally get some alone time after everything, you’’re sitting back at the pool

where haechan has watched you touch the water gently but has chosen to stay away from it

“haechan,,,,,when you pulled me down here. you said that you had a secret”

“that im a mermaid, yeah.”

“no, but you said the secret helps you be a better dancer. is being a mermaid tied to that?”

haechan slides down from the bleacher, he sits criss crossed beside you and stares down into the water

“mermaids,,,,,,,,have skills humans don’t. breathing under water is the big one, but because of that mermaids,,,,,,we can naturally move more fluidly.”

haechan suddenly moves closer to the edge, looking around first and then stretching out his legs so that he can dangle them over the edge of the pool

“mermaids are great swimmers, but we’re not always swimming - in the water we can glide and that’s taught me how to move my body in away humans,,,,,would say looks beautiful. it looks beautiful because it looks like dancing.”

suddenly he pushes himself completely into the water and you move, panicked

only to see him emerge, the side of his neck glistening and showcasing his set of gills

“so are you saying - because you’re a mermaid you just,,,,,dance better?”

haechan grins, diving back into the water only to come up with a gigantic splash and a flip that pushes his whole body out of the water

his tail majestically falling behind him

you stare, amazed and shocked that that’s haechan

that’s the boy you love

“you could say i was just born with this unfair advantage because being ‘rhythmic’ is just how mermaids function. the water, the waves - it all shaped me to be this way.”

he swims closer to the edge

and you lean over it

letting your hand come out, gently pushing the strands of haechan’s dark wet hair back

“well i hope the ballet academy doesn’t find out, or they’ll say you cheated to get in”

you joke, but haechan takes a hold of your wrist

in a serious tone he goes, “i know you think the academy will tear us apart. but you’re the only one aside from my family who knows who i really am. i dont plan on letting you go.”

you breath almost catches in your throat

has he known ive been worried all along?

and you fell your eyes almost well up

“haechan, i dont want you to have to think about me when making your decisions. being a professional dancer should be your only concern-”

“it is. but loving you is not something i want or will stop.”

you want to say something, but haechan suddenly tugs

and you go, flailing hands and all, right into the pool

but haechan pulls you in, pulls you up against him

and like this you can see the matching gold undertones of his eyes

the scales that frame the gills on his neck

and just the handsome face of boy you love

“i chose to let you know about this, i chose to make you a big part of my life. i want you to know that.”

he presses his nose against your cheek

it’s wet and cold, but you only want to lean into it. lean into haechan’s arms forever

“ok, but -”

haechan pulls back, he looks anxious of what you’ll say next

but instead of that

you playfully splash some of the water at him and go “but don’t ever pull me into a pool without warning again! you’re a mermaid so you’ll be fine, but you know im no good at swimming!”

haechan’s smile grows wide on his face

“no good at swimming, dancing, or kissing - yet i still love you!”

you huff, crossing your arms

“hey - you liked kissing me!”

“sure, sure keep telling yourself that!”

you try to flick him again, but haechan dives back under only to resurface behind you and close his arms around you

surprised, you let out a laugh - telling him to let go but then you hear him whisper gently against your ear

“no good at a lot of things, but you’re just perfect at making me want to be yours forever.”

more than a pretty face. (2)

Pairing: Ben Hardy x OC AN: This is going to go back into the past a little bit, just before the Golden Globes. Just as a little heads up. All of this is completely fictional of course, but just so you have an idea of the timeline here. Let me know what you think! Tags list is open, just send me a message to be added. Warnings: Cheating, drinking

All anyone could talk about were the Golden Globes. Even though it was still a few weeks away, as soon as the boys found out that they were nominated, there had been instant celebration and constant talk over what they were going to wear and what they were going to do if they won.

Charlie had been so excited for them, knowing just how much they all deserved it. While Ben had already been over the U.S. for a while staying with Sophia, once the nominees were announced, Gwilym, Lucy and Allen had flown over to celebrate. Charlie had suggested throwing a party at her place, since it was the biggest, and they had happily taken her up on her offer. She was the only one in the group who had a townhouse that could accommodate everyone who was sure to be coming.

Normally, Charlie might have been a little more apprehensive about having so many people she didn’t know well in her living space, but she was willing to make an exception for this. It was such a big moment, and the perfect way to start the awards season.

“Thank you so much for letting us have this party at your places, Charles,” Joe said cheerfully, as he wrapped his arm around his brunette friend. Charlie could tell that he had already had quite a bit to drink, considering he had broken out his ‘Charles’ nickname that he knew she despised. It only reared its ugly head when he was drunk and when he knew that she wouldn’t get mad at him.

“Of course, Joey. You guys deserve it,” Charlie replied, smiling brightly at him.

There was loud music playing in the living room, and there were people milling about all over the place. Most people Charlie recognized as either other cast members from Bohemian Rhapsody, or as friends from other movies. No one had told her exactly who had been invited, only to expect a lot of people to come. They weren’t wrong.

As Charlie moved to see to it that the bar was fully stocked, Joe bounded off to greet someone that he hadn’t seen in a while. The party had been going for almost an hour now, and Charlie still hadn’t seen Ben or Sophia anywhere. She couldn’t complain though. Not having to see Sophia’s face was more than enough thanks for throwing this party.

The crowd seemed to get denser the closer to the kitchen she got, and just as Charlie was able to push her way into the room, a voice called her name and she felt her stomach drop. She hesitantly turned in the direction of the voice, and put on her best fake smile as Sophia’s best friend, Wren, moved towards her.

While Wren wasn’t nearly as bad as Sophia, the entire time that Charlie had known her, she had been trying to sleep with Joe. As far as Charlie could tell, Joe was nowhere near interested, but that didn’t stop Wren from asking about him anytime she had the misfortune of bumping into her. Also, the fact that Wren was here meant that Sophia was also there somewhere. The thought made Charlie nauseous.

“Charlie, oh my gosh, I’ve been looking all over for you! What an amazing party!” Wren’s blue eyes were wide, and Charlie had a hard time telling whether she was being genuine or if she was just faking it in hopes of getting in good with Joe. Either way, Charlie wasn’t buying it.

“Thanks, Wren. Of course, it was all put together by Joe and Rami. I just provided the space.”

Wren’s face lit up at the mention of Joe’s name, and just as she opened her mouth to launch into twenty questions about him, Charlie was knocked to the side, a sarcastic ‘sorry’ being muttered as someone pushed past her. She wasn’t at all surprised to look up and see Sophia smirking smugly at her, while Ben trailed behind her like a lost puppy. His eyes met hers for a brief second, and Charlie thought that she might have seen a bit of an apology in his expression, but he had disappeared into the crowd before she could be sure.

“I’m sorry, but I have to go and check to make sure the rest of the kitchen is one piece. I’ll talk to you later,” Charlie excused herself, ignoring the fact that Wren’s face fell at her dismissal. Deep down, Charlie hoped that the big crowd kept her, Wren, and Sophia as far from each other as possible.

The urge for another drink consumed her, and Charlie grabbed a plastic cup from the stack at the end of the bar and made her way down to where the keg was sitting. There were several people hovering around it, but they all parted for her as she grabbed for the tap. After filling her cup up completely, Charlie turned to make sure that everything else was in order, and was surprised to see that all the drinks had already been restocked. She figured Rami or Lucy must have come in at some point, and made a mental note to thank them later.

Charlie pushed back through the crowd, and when she made it back into her living room, she smiled when she saw Rami, Lucy, Joe, Gwilym, Allen and Ben chatting happily amongst one another. Lucy was perched on Rami’s lap in the lounge chair, and Joe, Gwil, Ben, and Allen were all smashed together on the couch opposite them. Rami looked up and smiled as Charlie entered the room, drawing everyone else’s attention to her as well.

“Charles!” Joe cried happily, and Charlie rolled her eyes. He eagerly patted the armrest next to him, but she just shook her head. Sitting next to him would require crawling over almost everyone’s laps, and she wasn’t about to do that.

“Are you guys having a good time?” she asked, bringing her cup to her lips to take a drink. All of them nodded simultaneously, each one wearing a giant smile with the exception of Ben.

“Oh, it’s just wonderful. Thank you so much for doing all of this for us, Charlie. You are the best,” Lucy gushed as she removed herself from Rami’s lap and walked over to wrap her in a hug. Lucy was always so sweet, but just like with Joe, Charlie could tell that she had already had quite a bit to drink. All of them looked like they had.

“Really, it’s nothing. Hopefully in a month we will be able to have an even bigger celebration.”

Lucy left one of her arms draped across Charlie’s shoulders, but she didn’t mind. She wasn’t normally the touchy-feely type, but when it came to this group, it was something she had been forced to get over quite quickly.

It was several more minutes before Charlie realized that, besides Lucy, it really was just all the guys. Sophia was nowhere to be seen. The thought of having her running amuck in her house made Charlie nervous, so she quietly excused herself to see if she could locate her. She didn’t say anything to anyone about what she was doing, because she knew if she brought it to Ben’s attention, he would get offended and the entire night would be ruined. Charlie cursed under her breath when she realized that there were still a ton of people around, making her search even harder. Sophia was not a tall person, so spotting her in the crowd was going to be difficult.

She started with the main floor, searching through the dining room and kitchen, but found nothing. She then headed into the lower level where people had set up some drinking games, but the crowd was sparse, and after one glance, Charlie could tell that she wasn’t down there either. She could feel a knot form in her throat at the thought of her being on the top floor, where only her bedroom, the guest bedroom, and another bathroom were located. When she made it upstairs, at first, the area looked empty. But then, Charlie noticed that the guest room door was shut. She was just about to reach out and open it when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

“Charlie? What are you doing?”

She must have looked suspicious, because when she turned to face Ben, he gave her a questioning look.

“I was just checking to make sure everything was okay up here. I mean, this is my house. I can go wherever I want,” she huffed in response. “What are you doing up here?”

Ben narrowed his eyes and gestured down the hall towards the bathroom.

“The bathroom downstairs was taken and Joe said that there was another one up here.”

Charlie nodded curtly, and then both of their attention was stolen by a loud crash and then a giggle coming from inside the guest bedroom. Charlie turned quickly, and Ben laughed.

“Sounds like someone is having a little fun in there.”

Charlie cringed at the thought, and reached out to push the door open. Regardless of who it was, she didn’t want someone getting it on in her guest bed. She was already going to have quite the mess to clean up.

As soon as the door swung open, Charlie inhaled sharply when she saw a half-dressed Sophia sitting on the edge of the bed while another man was sprawled out across the floor. The loud thud had apparently been him falling off the bed.

“Soph- Sophia?”

For a moment, Charlie had forgotten that Ben was right behind her. In his curious state, he had moved closer to see who was causing all the commotion, and for the first time since she had met him, Charlie felt sorry for him.

“Oh my God, Ben! Honey, it’s not what it looks like!” Sophia struggled to remove herself from the tangle of sheets, but Ben was already gone. Charlie could hear his footsteps racing down the stairs, and the man that was on the floor leaned up against the bed, clearly confused as to everything that was going on. Sophia grabbed her shirt and shorts in haste, but when her eyes landed on Charlie, she glowered at her.

“You did this on purpose!” she hissed, pulling her shirt over her head and stumbling over towards the doorway. “You’ve always been jealous of Ben and I!”

The accusation made Charlie laugh, and even though Sophia was giving her a look that could kill, she didn’t feel threatened in the slightest.

“Oh no, sweetie. You brought this upon yourself.”

When she finally stumbled back into her pants, Sophia pushed past Charlie in the doorway and disappeared down the stairs, leaving Charlie alone with the stranger.

“I think it goes without saying, but you really need to leave,” Charlie said, as she pulled the door closed behind her so the man could get changed. A few seconds later, Gwilym bounded up the stairs, a bewildered look on his face.

“What just happened? Ben came storming through the living room, mumbling something about leaving and then Sophia chased him outside with her shirt on wrong side out.”

Charlie tried not to laugh, considering the delicacy of the situation, but before she could reply, the man exited the guest bedroom and sheepishly squeezed past them to head downstairs. Charlie’s eyes met Gwilym’s and a look of understanding crossed his face.

“Damn, poor Ben.”

The sympathy that Charlie had been feeling for Ben dissipated and instead frustration took its place.

“This has been happening for a long time, Gwil. You know it, I know it, we all know it. It’s his fault for not opening his eyes to it sooner.” A sad look crossed Gwilym’s face, and Charlie already knew what he was going to say before he said it. It was the same thing all the guys had been saying when the issue got brought up. “And no, love is not that complicated.”

Charlie made her way back downstairs, and saw that several people had already left. The mood of the room had shifted considerably, and without saying, people seemed to realize that something had happened. The rest of the BoRhap crew still sat in the living room, but their eyes were watching the stairs, waiting for her to come back down and explain what had happened, even though they were all sure they could guess.

“Is he going to be okay?” Allen asked first, as Charlie took the empty seat next to him. Charlie shrugged.

“I’m sure he’ll be fine.”

A somber kind of quiet fell over the group, a complete contrast to the upbeat dance music that was blasting through the speakers. The evening’s celebrations had been ruined, and now all anyone could think about was Ben and how he was handling what had just happened. Rami excused himself after a few minutes, and Charlie knew that he was going to go try and find him.

“He shouldn’t be alone right now,” he murmured, as he pressed a parting kiss against Charlie’s temple, and Lucy followed him out.

A few more people filtered out, and Joe took it upon himself to go down and make sure that everyone else knew that the party was over. Before long, it was just Gwilym, Charlie, Allen, and Joe left in the house and someone had turned the music off.

“Do you think he’s going to take her back?” Gwilym asked awkwardly, after a few more minutes of silence. Charlie was still sitting next to Allen on the couch, but Joe was leaning in the doorway across the room.

“God, I hope not,” Charlie breathed, and Joe laughed. She hadn’t meant for it to come out so loud.

“For his sake, I hope he doesn’t either. Ben’s too good of a guy to keep having his heart broken like this,” Allen added.

Charlie felt a little confused at his phrasing but didn’t say anything. Was this not the first time Ben had a bad relationship? It didn’t really matter. She could only hope that tonight was the last that she saw of Sophia.

Trust | Montgomery De La Cruz | Part 2

Summary: Reader was having a normal morning until someone decided to pull a stupid prank

Warning: None

Montgomery De La Cruz x Reader

Its been about 2 months since you broke up with Montgomery and you had no intention on getting back together with him.

Everything seemed so better, you got to wear your favorite perfume that Monty told you sent like shit, and dress, shirt, or shorts you want without him yelling at you about ‘walking about with you ass half out’.

But like everything there was a bad side Monty had been calling and texting you almost nonstop half of which were happening while he was drunk, he ever showed up at your house one night thank god your parents weren’t home, having to sleep alone with no one to cuddle with even though Montgomery was cheating on you he held you so close to him at night that he might have thought you would evaporate if he didn’t.

You also started to notice him getting into more fights at school or coming to school with bruises that weren’t there the day before leaving you to conclude that he had been sleeping at home most nights.

The bell had just rang for third period while you were on your way to ap history when a hand went over you mouth and one around your waist. You start to kick but soon after your feet are restrained as well.

When you finally set down you look around and your surrounded by guys in the middle of the boys locker room.

As you survey the faces of your attackers you realize it none other than the Liberty High baseball team.

“Thanks I’ve alway wanted to know what it felt like to be kidnapped.” You said sarcastically but still with and uneasy feeling as you knew what most of the baseball team were into. “I guess I can also say I know how Natalie Greendale felt at Sheri’s party.” You joked with a small laugh once you realized no one else was laughing you kept quiet....of a while.

“OKAY WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE?!?” You yelled.

“Well explain in a minute just calm down.” Zach said.

“No zach I’m not gonna calm down in a room full of high school male and not a witness in sight.” I sneered.

“What do you think we’re gonna do Y/N?” Bryce asked taking a step closer to you.

“I don’t know Bryce you tell me, but I do know that if you don’t back the fuck up it will be the last think you do.” You replied.

“Alright let’s all calm down here.” You turn at a new voice entering the locker room.

“We’re all calm here coach.” Bryce says taking a few steps back.

“No were not I was just kidnapped.” You interjected.

“Look we’re sorry about that we just needed to talk to you.” Scott explained.

“And ‘hey Y/N.’ Wasn’t gonna workout for you?” You asked rolling your eyes.

“We didnt think you would listen if you knew what it was about.” Zach said making you have him a look to tell him to continue. “Monty.”

“Oh hell no.” You said turning on your heels and heading towards the door, only to find you path blocked by no less than 7 males.

“Hey Y/N, is it? Monty is one of the best guys on this team and as of late it’s been showing in his preformance on the field that something is off with him.” Coach spoke up. “And according to the team this all happened when you guys broke up.”

“Still not seeing what this has to do with me.” You interrupted.

“Look I’ve seen you around school with Monty and at the games in the stands cheering him on and you two seemed like a pretty solid pair and you don’t want one little fight to ruin that do you?” He asked condescendingly.

“Uh coach.” A random member started. “He was cheating on her for almost a month.”

“And that’s awful but everybody makes mistakes.” Bryce replied.

“Yeah and im not putting up with his ‘mistakes’ anymore.” You snapped. “I had to come to school everyday and see the girl my boyfriend was fucking behind my back, see them talking and flirting and act like I didn’t know anything so I don’t look like the crazy jealous girlfriend! For 3 week he looked me in my eye and lied to me and then had the nerve to accuse me of cheating and call me a slut!” You yelled causing half the team to flinch.

“Look no one ever said Monty was smart, but i since you dumped is ass he’s had a hair trigger and if he gets into anymore fights porters gonna bench him for the rest of the season, not that it matters is playing has sucked.” Scott quickly got to the point seeing you were running out of patience.

“I never asked him to be smart Scott I just wanted him to be loyal, or is that too much to ask from you people. You know if the roles were reversed I’d be slut-shamed out of the school, but when a guy does it we’re just expected to forgive him?! Well fuck you! I’d say fuck Monty but I’m sure someone is already on that now either you let me out of this damn room or I’m gonn a start screaming rape at the top of my lungs not that that would be beyond any of you!” You shout. “No offense Zach, Scott.” You said becoming a little calmer.

“All good.” Zach said at the same time Scott replied with a “no problem.”

After you exited the locker loom you went straight to class but you couldn’t focus on anything that was happening your thoughts were only on Montgomery.

Was he really that upset about your break up?

Of course not he wasn’t thinking about you when he was screwing Natalie.

But the team needs him.

So what has the team ever done for you?

Everyone deserves a second chance.

He had a second chance the first time he slept with her, the chance to come clean and never do it again but he wanted to her more than he cared about you.

Thoughts like these were floating though your head the whole day. Finally it was time to go home when you were trying to make your way to the door but a huge crowd was blocking your exit.

“I’m gonna beat your fucking as Adams!” You hear a familiar voice from the core of the mob.

“What the fucks your problem all I’m saying is it not my fault you cheated on your girl and got caught.”someone replied.

As you pushed your way through the crowed you saw just what you expected to see and angry Montgomery. What you didn’t expect was to see the face of the Asshole jock the tried to suck your face.

You felt a presence beside you causing you to look and come face to face with Bryce walker.

“What Walker?” You sighed.

“Nothing just wondering if your gonna let this happen?” He asked gesturing towards Monty.

“I’m not letting anything happen, this has nothing to do with me.” You replied.

“Yeah your probably right. But it’s no secret Monty has been looking for a reason to beat Adams to a pulp, and when he’s does there will be no more baseball he could miss the chance at a scout. Not to mention his dad will hear about it as we both know how that’s gonna end assuming no one presses charges and sends mont straight to jail, but yeah completely out of your hands it’s not like you could stop it or anything.” He went on and on.

Taking off your backpack and trusting to towards him which he takes.

“I hate you.” You say before walking to stand between Monty and Adams.

“Y/N what are you doing? Move.” Monty said still staring down the boy behind you who once you looked at him realized how scared he was. He knew he fucked up and that once Monty started it would take a lot for him to stop.

“Monty no.” You said holding you hand out keeping him from coming forward. “Think about this, even if you beat him up now what’s gonna happen to you after?” You asked.

“I don’t care.” He gritted out.

“I do Montgomery look at me.” You order but you demand went ignored.

You move closer to him and put your hand on either side of his face and gently guilt it down to the level of your eyes.

“Look at me.” You say softly as he finally submits. “I’m willing to talk about us Monty but you have to prove to me it’s worth it. Please just come with me and walk away. Please.” You quietly beg.

He started into your eyes for what seemed like forever.

“Fine.” Said causing you to let out a sigh of relief. You glance over to Bryce and nod.

“Alright, alright folks nothing to see here clear out!” He said starting to wave people off.

Once the group had dispersed Bryce had returned your bag to you and reminded Monty about having practice before the game tonight.

“Okay let’s go talk.” He said reaching for your wrist. You move slightly out of his reach.

“Not now Montgomery.” You replied.

“But you said.” He started.

“And we will, but you heard Bryce you have practice and a game. We can talk after.” You clarify.

“Your coming to my game?” Monty asked. You didn’t miss the joy fill his eyes as he waited for your answer.

“Yeah I’ll be there.” You say bitting your lips.

“Okay that’s great.” He exclaimed. Before you could stop him he quickly pecked you on your lips. “Oh I’m sorry.” He said once he realized what he didn’t.

“It’s fine, but just because I’m willing to talk doesn’t mean we’re getting back together.” You clarify.

“I know but if you do get back together I promise I’ll treat you like the angel you always were to me.” He said.

“You should go you have a game to win.” You said with a small smile.

“Yeah I’ll see you later.” He said walking backwards as if when he turned around you would disappear.

“I’ll see you later.” You said turning to walk away.

Once you got you your car you sat there staring straight forward.

“What the hell am I gonna do.” You said dropping your head down into the steering wheel a little too hard.

“Ow.” You quietly wined rubbing your forehead.

Sweetest Downfall- Ch.7

Hope you’re all enjoying this so far. Let me know what you think, I definitely need some motivation to keep this going.

###

Chapter Seven: Tells

“Nena” Andre’s whine broke through my concentration and I felt his head lift from my lap.

“Is Nena your new thing now?” I asked, not taking my eyes off the paper I was reading.

“Yup, I like it and it rhymes with Alena so get used to it.” I saw him shrug from the corner of my eyes as he shifted around restlessly.

“Älskling,titta på mig” I pulled my eyes from the paper turning my attention to the whining man child next to me. He was sitting cross-legged brow pulled up with a look that demanded attention.

“What can I help you with darling?” I drawled out lazily watching him smile happily finally gaining my undivided attention.

“You’re coming to the game today, right?” I brought my bottom lip between my teeth averting my eyes from his.

“Baby, I thought you were going?” There was disappointment in his voice and impossible to ignore when I met his eyes.

“I know but do you see all these papers?” I gestured to the stack next to me, “I need to get these rough drafts finished this weekend.”

“It’s a 3pm game you can be home by 8, plenty of time to get work done, please?” He continued pleading with me and I felt my will slowly breaking down as he pouted with those big brown eyes of his.

“I have no one to go with Shay can’t go and Taylor isn’t in town” I pointed out, referencing Tom’s girlfriend, the only Caps girl I had met.

“Alena that’s not an excuse. Osh said all the girls are going and its time you meet them. We’ve been together long enough.” He was serious now, which was rare, and I really hated being on the opposite end of his serious tone.

“Says you” I mumbled shuffling the papers in my lap. He took hold of one of my hands bringing my knuckles to his lips kissing them softly. Little shit knew exactly how to get me to crumble.

“Can’t it wait until another game? You know how awkward I am. I will do so much better if I have Shay or Taylor with me” My bottom lip pouted out in a vain attempt to reverse our pleading roles.

“Nena, the girls have been asking about you non-stop this is the perfect time. I know you’ll be fine. You met me alone” He pointed out, a small smile peeking at the corner of his lips.

“Yeah but I didn’t have hours to overthink everything. Don’t you remember how awkward I was on our first date?” He nodded laughing a little at the memory. “That was because I had time to overthink”

“You were, but you got over it. C’mon, do it for me, please?” His begging combined with those fucking pouty lips had me crumbling in a second.

“Fine, but I need to be back early”

His face lit up and I tried to hide my smile as he leaned in for a kiss, but I turned away forcing him to settle for my cheek. He grunted in annoyance placing his thumb and forefinger on my chin turning my jaw back towards him letting him kiss me properly on the lips.

“Andre” I protested against his mouth trying to pull away but his tongue easily pushed past my lips and I easily caught up in the kiss while his other hand came around my neck holding me in place. I put a hand on his chest gripping his shirt fighting the urge to rip his clothes off. I sighed against our kiss releasing his shirt pushing against his chest enough to separate our lips.

“What’s wrong?” His lips were swollen from our kiss and I had to bite down hard on my cheek to control the reaction it sent through me.

“I have work to do and since I don’t have all day to finish I can’t have you distracting me” I said, laying down the law as best I could.

“Fineeee, I have pre game stuff I need to do anyway.” He rolled his eyes with a huff and stood up to walk into the living room.

“Thanks hotshot, ‘preciate ya!” He mumbled in Swedish as he walked out and I turned back to my papers trying to ignore the growing anxiety I had over meeting the other girls. I knew I was awkward with guys, but when it came to other girls, especially the girlfriends of professional athletes, I could only imagine how I would react.

I hesitated before taking the final corner, leading me to the club section, not ready to walk into the room full of women I didn’t know. For someone as socially awkward as myself walking into a room of gorgeous woman I didn’t know was the definition of anxiety. I kept reminding myself I was doing this for Andre, but it was still tough. I wanted nothing more than to turn and walk out of the arena, but I made it this far, right? I took a deep breath gave myself a little pep talk and willed my feet forward.

I stood in the entry to the suite watching the group of girls chatting amongst themselves and I was frozen. Couldn’t speak, couldn’t move. Frozen.

“Hi, you must be Alena?” I was brought out of my fog as a gorgeous blonde walked towards me with a wide smile and I instantly knew who she was.

“Im Lauren Oshie, TJ’s wife. Im so happy you’re here!” She stood before me and I did my best not to gap at how impeccable she was from head to toe, and I was instantly insecure.

“Hi, Alena Richards its really great to meet you.” My voice was shaky but I flashed a smile hoping to mask my nerves. I held a hand out for her to shake but she waved me off with a laugh.

“Oh please, we’re one big family here sowe hug.” She caught me off guard reaching out pulling me into a hug which I returned awkwardly.

“I was so excited when TJ told me you were coming. We’ve all been waiting to meet you. Girls come meet Alena.” Lauren placed her hand on my arm stepping to the side allowing the other girls to see me. Four more sets of eyes fell on me and I felt my cheeks warm with the attention and I took a deep breath preparing for the onslaught.

Five minutes later I was running through the list of names trying to make sure I didn’t forget anyone. Each girl I met was just as gorgeous as Lauren and I wished more than anything that I had Shay or Taylor here with me.

“From what Nicklas has told me Andre hasn’t stopped talking about you since the day you two met” I blushed hard at Liza’s words pulling my eyes from her.

“Im sure he’s exaggerating” I said, waving off the compliment as I failed to hide the smile on my face.

“Girl, TJ said the same thing. That boy is falling hard for you.” Lauren teased with a knowing glance.

“Well he definitely makes it easy” I said dragging my attention from the girls and onto the ice just as the puck dropped.

“So Brett tells me you’re from Boston, did Andre ever mention we lived there for a season?” I looked to my right as Katrina Connolly dropped down in the open seat.

“No he didn’t but I thought Brett’s name looked familiar”

“Yup, we were only there a short time but we both loved the city and the team.”

“Boston really was amazing; I mean I love DC but there was just something so homey about Boston. We were only there a short time but I loved it” She smiled warmly and for the first time all night I felt calm. Talking about home tended to do that.

“It really is a great city. Boston has this big city feel but at the same it doesn’t feel overwhelming. All the little DC neighborhoods really remind me of Boston” she nodded excitedly as I talked.

“Yes! That’s exactly it. And I loved being by the ocean. Do you miss it?”

“Everyday. I haven’t been back since I moved and I’m having withdrawals.” I laughed.

“What made you move here?” I looked onto the ice, my eyes falling on Andre within seconds and I smiled.

“Work. I couldn’t find a teaching job in Boston and my best friend lives here so I tried my luck in DC.” I said with a shrug.

“Do you see yourself staying?” That was a loaded question.

“Umm when I first moved here I didn’t think so, but meeting Andre definitely makes it hard to wanna leave.” I laughed as Katrina did the same.

“He’s such a sweetheart. I knew whoever he set his sights on would be one lucky girl” I couldn’t help but blush at her words.

“He’s the best. He came in and messed up all my plans, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.” I smiled that goofy love sick smile and I inwardly cringed.

“They say you find someone when you’re not looking. Seems like that’s what happened with you two.” She had a knowing smile on her face as she spoke and it had me looking away blushing, again.

I continued fielding questions from the girls as they prodded for all the juicy details of how Andre and I met. I tried to focus on the game and only add to the conversation when I knew I had been quiet for too long. The longer we talked the less anxious I became but I still couldn’t shake the feeling that I didn’t belong here, like I was out of place.

“I don’t know Jamie, I just felt so out of place.” I huffed into the phone as my older brother listened to me vent.

“How come? Were they all bitches?”

“No they were all wicked nice, but I just felt like I didn’t belong there.” I shot a look over my shoulder making sure no one was around to hear me.

“Lena you need to be more confident Andre adores you.” Jamie urged.

“I know he does but that doesn’t really matter in this situation. These women are just-”

“Alena, you out here?” I panicked hearing Andre’s voice echo out into the nearly empty corridor.

“Shit, hold on Jamie” I poked my head around the corner and saw him standing in the hallway just outside the room I was supposed to be. I let out a small groan taking in the light grey suit he wore the hugged him in all the right places.

“Right here hotshot” I called out, stepping into the hall so he could see me. His frown turned into his goofy smile when his eyes found mine and he crossed the hall in five large steps.

“Are you on the phone?” He eyed me suspiciously and I nodded.

“Yeah its Jamie, gimme a sec” He nodded and I turned away.

“J, I gotta-”

“Hey Jamie!” Andre’s voice rang out from beside me and I shot him a stern look as he laughed.

“Tell Andre I said hi and call me soon. Remember, that guy adores you and that’s all that matters, oh and I love you.” I smiled at his words, thankful to have a brother I could call at any moment.

“Thanks Jamie, love you too.” I hung up the phone sliding it back into my pocket turning my attention back to my handsome Swede.

“Hey you, great game tonight” I smiled up at him rising up on my toes to kiss him. He smiled against my lips and I sighed against him before reluctantly pulling away.

“Thanks. How’d it go with the girls?” He had an excited smile on his face waiting for my answer.

“Great! All the girls are so sweet. It was nice to finally meet them.” I forced a smile and he quirked an eyebrow.

“You’re lying, what’s wrong?” He squinted his eyes and I mimicked him.

“No im not, it went great” I smiled again placing a hand on his arm.

“Nope, I can tell when you’re lying” He said matter of factly and I scoffed.

“Bullshit” I said crossing my arms over my chest.

“You scrunch your nose up then move it side to side. Like a bunny” My eyes went wide and he laughed tapping my nose with his finger. Barely two months and he already knew my tell.

“So what’s wrong? Were they rude?” He question, now concerned since I just gave myself away.

“No of course not. They’re all so sweet. Honestly its nothing, don’t worry.” I smiled patting his chest.

“Lena come on, what’s wrong?” The concern in his eyes hit me hard but I didn’t want to bother him with my crazy insecurities.

“Burky, let’s fucking go!” We both turned as Tom stood in the doorway motioning for us. I looked back at Andre for an explanation just as a light went off in his head.

“Oh shit, I told Vrana and Tom we would go grab dinner with them.” I glared up at him, annoyed that he made plans after he promised we would be home early.

“Babe I-”

“Let’s go you two, im hungry!”

“Shut it Tom were coming” Andre grabbed my hand dragging me towards the two guys as I tried but failed to gain his attention to remind him why we couldn’t go out. But I also knew this was a losing battle the second these three got together and I was too much of a people pleaser to protest.

We walked into Andre’s apartment a little after midnight and I was exhausted and pissed off. I put on a happy face throughout dinner not wanting to be that bitchy girlfriend but now I was too annoyed to care.

“Nena, what’s wrong?” He called out when I walked past him heading straight for his bedroom.

“Nothing Andre im exhausted and I need to get some sleep. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow.” I was being passive aggressive but I couldn’t stop. I was upset and my way of dealing was through passive aggressive comments. That’s just who I am.

“Are you sure? you seemed off all night” I felt his hands settle on my waist as he stood behind me but I stepped out of his embrace turning to face him.

“Yes im sure. I was perfectly fine all night” I stated crossing my arms over my chest. He narrowed his eyes reading straight through my words.

“That’s the problem, you were fine. I know you better than you think Lena and I knew something was wrong. Talk to me, please.” His pleading had my anger faltering and he could tell. He reached for me and this time I let him take my hand pulling me against his chest wrapping his arms around me. I soaked up the feel of him for just a moment before I remembered I was mad at him.

“Im fine, can I please just go to sleep?” He sighed letting his arms fall from my waist and I smiled.

“If that’s what you want then yeah.” His eyes bore through me, waiting for me to crack.

“It was a long day and like I said, I have a lot to do tomorrow.” I emphasized the words hoping he might clue in, but he simply nodded moving aside so I could go get ready for bed. I could feel his eyes on me while I moved about the room and I did my best to ignore the judging stare he was giving me. He really did know me better than I thought, but he clearly wasn’t privy on just how stubborn I can be when I wanted to avoid issues.

There are a couple of you who have been following this story with the man, and so I finally wrote it all up so I can share it once, and then don’t have to individually type this behemoth several times. @sewluscious @im-not-great-at-making-up-names @uriellactaea

So. Things with Jordin.

It started back in March. I have known this guy through the Ren faire for a couple years. And he lives with Kyle and Blue, who are married (Blue is a woman). The three of them have a house together; I always wondered if they were in a poly relationship. I went out to Kyle’s birthday party, and we got to chatting there a little bit. The next day, he asks me out. At the time I was still stuck in the realization that I was probably asexual, and trying to figure out what that meant for me. So I turned him down, and explained why. He said that sex for him wasn’t as important as spending time with people he liked, so he left the coffee date open on the table, whenever I wanted to change my mind. We saw each other a few times after that, but never picked it up. (I did think he was cute and liked him just... not enough to get over my fears).

In June, he was vacationing in Europe, and I was seeing pictures of him frequently and realized that I did still like him, enough that I was willing to be brave and try dating him. So this time I asked him out. He said he would love to, but he was just getting back from Europe, so he would get a hold of me when things calm down. I waited to hear from him for almost 2 weeks, then he tells me that things got crazy busy for him, and would it be okay if we sorta waited till life calmed down. He said he thought he would want to ‘dedicate time’ to whatever was between us. I was disappointed but not overly so. I was just proud of myself for being brave, and frankly we were coming into the Ren faire season, which was why we were both super busy. So that ended there again.

Week before Ren faire, he is performing at the Highland Games, so I go to see him... and the games, but mostly him. He seems happy enough to see me, but not overly so. And there is a girl there who seems really interested in spending time with him. He definitely seemed more into her than me... so I thought, okay, well, that sucks, but he just isn’t interested anymore. First weekend of Ren faire passes, and same thing. Same girl there talking with him after hours. I was sitting in the group of seats in front of him, and I don’t think he even saw me. End of the night, and I was gonna leave, so I kinda interjected myself a little to give him a hug and say Hi, but then I continue on. I wasn’t going to throw myself at him, or pine or whatever. If he didn’t want to spend effort on me, I wasn’t going to waste away, lol. So, I thought friends, nothing more, he just wasn’t interested.

The next Monday, two days after that, he sends me this:

“ Hello. All that has been going on there is something that has been going through my head....You came up to me in the pub and you smiled....your smile made me happy. Yours is the only one that does that. I thought you should know”

So, obvious that is a bit of a warm, thrilling statement! But at this point, I am a bit warry. I don’t know if he is a ninja-slut, getting with girls whenever he can... but I also made it obvious to him that I am asexual, so that isn’t the reason right? So, warily, I start talking back with him:

“Me: :) that's nice to hear. You seemed busy, so I didn't want to butt in, but I did want to say hi

Jordin: Umm, I'm sorry, I'm not really sure how to say this without sounding weird but....you showed up and everyone else kinda went away. Is it too late for coffee?

Me: Lol, it sounds kinda like a line, but cute and no, not too late. I was also slammed earlier so it was a good call, but things are calming down now.

Jordin: I've grown quite weary of lines. What I AM aware of is who I hope to see and that you, and you're usually in slow motion....with theme music. But seriously, I think you're amazing and I would be a damn fool to not want to see you. If that makes sense. Are you available in the morning? Like tomorrow or some time this week?

Me: Hehe that's awesome. Unfortunately my job kinda sucks with its rigidity. I have no mornings available”

blah blah blah. So I was running by his house to pick up something from his male roommate the next day, randomly. So we said we would see each other then. I saw him on Tuesday, and they all invited me out to dinner. I don’t think Jordin told Kyle and Blue that he had asked me out, just the impression I got from it all. And during dinner, again, just didn’t feel like he was all that interested. But I just figured maybe he was playing it down from his roommates.

So, as far as I knew, we were still in this predate limbo thing, and I didn’t hear from him the rest of the week. Friday rolls around, and I go to the pub, and there he is, his arm around another girls waist. Cue sinking stomach and disappointment again. Spent a little time while there, ignored them as much as possible, but waved once. They end up sitting on a bench, facing each other, his legs over hers. Like... people were telling them to go get a room, they were so all over each other, although I don’t know if they ever kissed. So, I went to leave, and I had to pass by them. As I did, he called out my name and held out his arms for a hug... like... what? So I hugged him, her (I know who she is from faire and everything) and then leave. Thinking it was over, I felt played and hurt by it all. Next morning I woke up in a much calmer frame of mind. I think my feelings are/were completely valid, but I also didn’t have any claim on him. We hadn’t been on a date, and yes, I think it is kinda shitty for how warmly (dare I say romantically) he talked to me then was all over someone else. But... I don’t know, I was willing to see how it all went.

So next night, go to the after hours pub again, and he is there, not with some girl, just with Kyle and Blue. We kinda are around each other, but no one on one conversations. Then, without me asking, he tells me that the girl from Friday had asked Jordin to save her from an over-eager patron, and then found out they had similar religious upbringings and so spent the next two hours talking religion. Also, Blue was pissed at him for being all over this girl.

Now, I’m super confused. Was it a good thing or a bad thing that he volunteered this information without me asking? Did he want to set me at ease because he liked me and didn’t want me to get the wrong impression or because he is trying to keep all options open? Why would he tell me about Blue being pissed? He never told me he was in a poly relationship, which I think is something that he should have been very clear about from the very beginning... or was she for some reason pissed on my behalf? even though I didn’t think Jordin had told them that he had asked me out. So I left confused, cautiously optimistic. I sent him a text the next day, asking how the day went, he said “SO good,” and that was it. Sooooo, yeah, thoroughly confused.

When I still didn’t hear from him on Tuesday I sent him this: “ I am pretty awful at dating stuff... completely oblivious. So I am not really sure if you are trying to tell me you are not interested anymore. I have been getting a lot of mixed messages, and I am confused about what you want. “

To which he replies: “ Hehe that's fair, there was a lot of confusing things flying my way as well from Blue so.... honestly I need to get some answers before I can proceed in any direction as far as dating goes. Hope that made sense despite being pretty vague.”

So, at this point, kinda pissed. (Seriously? Hehe?) Cause... first of all, pretty sure this means you are poly, and never told me. And if you need to get some answers before you start dating, why did you ask me out THREE TIMES? Why didn’t you do that BEFORE all this?!?! So, I am pretty much done. Close the door, whatever. It wasn’t like we had even been on a date, and I had been through some serious highs and lows with him, and I am tired of being jerked around. So I sent this back ” I hope things get less confusing for you, whatever that may end up being. I'm just gonna keep being me, but I'm not really going to expect anything. Hope whatever your end works out to we can still be friends.”

Jordin: Absolutely!! I would definitely hope so “

And that was the end of it. I didn’t expect anything from him, it was done, I’m not going to wait for him.

I saw him on Saturday, gave him a hug, said hi, but wasn’t spending much effort to hang with him. 4 different times that night, line probably less than 45 minutes, he called me over to join his conversation. So... he is making it real hard to turn off the feelings, but unless there is some big changes, I’m just not going to let it go anywhere.

So yes, there is my novel length story of Jordin and my fleeting potential dating life... sigh. Stupid boys.

What Happens in Vegas

Flynn thought that it was time to give himself a little vacation. He had been working hard in getting his studio up and running, and now that his apprentice (now partner in the business) had completed a masterful amount of hours, he felt comfortable taking some time off. So, he thought about all the places he had ever wanted to go, wrote them on slips of paper and picked one out. Vegas. He was a little anxious about it since he wasn't really a gambler- but Vegas was Vegas so he knew it wouldn't be all about gambling. It took a week or two of planning but before he knew it, he was on a flight to Sin City and eager to enjoy himself. The place was crazy and over the top, so he wasted no time in checking into his hotel, dumping his stuff and then heading out to the casino floor. He made it to the blackjack table and enjoyed playing a few hands, quitting while he was up and going to the bar before he could get greedy and blow it. It was crowded but he managed to spot a bar stool and settled in before ordering a drink.

Rhys had gone to las vega for a friends birthday. After splitting with his partner of six years Rhys a few months before, he was now ready to go out and socialise. By 9pm he was well on his way to being drunk. Being the only gay in the group he decided to head to the casino bar when his friends all left to go to the strip joint. He plonked himself down and ordered a jack Daniels and sighed. Maybe he should have stayed at home

Flynn was quite enjoying himself, people watching really as he sipped his drink. Part of him wished that he was here with someone- a special someone even but it had been a long while since that had been true. Part of him, for a long moment, wondered if he should visit that Bunnyland Ranch or whatever it was but that only made him feel more pathetic. He had just received his next drink when a man settled himself in the last remaining stool. There was no way Flynn could ignore his attractiveness. He bit his lip, heart beating faster as he willed himself to say something, anything to the man, the next words just falling past his lips- "Long night?"

Rhys looked round and saw blue eyes and smiled " my friends birthday. They just headed to the strip joint so I'm here all by myself." He said swirling his whiskey once the barman gave it to him " what about you?"

Flynn's breath caught in his throat when the man's green gaze landed on him- and then that smile. God he hoped that the man next to him liked men. Flynn wasn't normally a one night stand kind of guy...but he was on his way to being drunk and that was what Vegas was about right? "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas". He could let himself go for once. "And you didn't go with them?" He asked slightly surprised. He had never understood the appeal of strip clubs- get all worked up for no pay off? He'd rather watch porn. "Vacation. Finally feel comfortable enough leaving the business in my apprentice's- got she's my partner now- in her hands."

" nah... let's just say they strippers are the wrong sex to turn me on." He said and smiled and blushed as he looked at his glass " I'd be more likely to screw your rather then a stripper." He chuckled and then felt bad and embarrassed " sorry it's the booze." He said softly " I'm Rhys."

Flynn was secretly very pleased that the strippers were the wrong sex. That meant that the other man was into men. God Flynn hoped he didn’t look a mess. His silence allowed the other man to continue his thought and he blushed lightly when he confessed he’s rather screw him. “Good to know.” He said with a sly smile and greeted him in return. “Good to meet you Rhys. I’m Flynn.”

"Nice to meet you Flynn. you waiting for your partner?" He asked with a small smile. "Wife?" He asked. He ordered another whiskey. "You want one?" He asked

"No, she's at the studio, holding down the fort." Flynn answered, not even thinking about his words. "No, she's not my wife, she's my business partner. I think we're both in a place that we trust her to handle things. No, I'm single." He answered, shaking his head when he offered another whiskey. "I will take another vodka and cranberry. I don't want to mix and get sick." He said, nodding to the bartender. "How about you? Partner waiting at home?"

Rhys laughed. "No. he is now on his honeymoon with his new wife." He said with a smirk. That was the last time he would date a bisexual. He ordered the drinks and smiled at him. "So.. what do you do for a living?"

“Oh well that would explain things.” Flynn answered with a little laugh, wondering if that was painful or not. “I’m a photographer. Mostly wedding, maternity and newborns but with my co-worker, we’re branching out more. How about you?” He said, eyeing the other man, thinking it had to be something physical.

"Wow... so have you taken any racy pictures?" He asked with a cheeky wink. "Me? I restore architecture. Big buildings, monuments. You name it ... I have probably done it ." He said and then smiled. "Lucikliy for me Im not scared of heights

“I have done a few boudoir photo shoots but they’re long days- which says something considering I do weddings.” He said rolling his eyes, wondering what he’d have to do to get him to pose for him. He blushed at the thought and smiled at the other man. “That sounds incredibly fascinating. And yeah, I can imagine that would be an issue.” He said, looking at the other man feeling a little bashful but he was going to go for it- “do you want to go somewhere a little more fun?” He said, thinking he would love to get to a club. He wasn’t the club type but it would be an excuse to get close to the other man. Or of course, they could just drink some more and go someplace much more intimate

"Sure." He replied simply. "I'm staying at this hotel. You wanna come up. I have a minibar and we could order food. And if you are lucky I might even let you take my picture." He grinned with a hint of mischief in his eyes

Flynn took a breath internally and asked himself if he wanted this- and found himself agreeing. “I think I’ve been pretty lucky so far.” He murmured, tipping the bartender well and following Rhys up to his room, almost grateful for the full elevator. It gave him a moment to steady himself. People picked people up for sex all the time. He had been working so hard- he deserved to let himself enjoy this without getting into his head too much. He laughed softly when they got off on the tenth floor. “My room is on the other end of the floor.” He murmured, the feeling of alcohol flooding his system, wondering how many he had ended up drinking after all. He kicked off his shoes once the door shut to the other man’s room. “Should’ve asked...” He murmured, feeling silly for a moment.

"Maybe I am." He responded and smirked taking off his jacket and laid on the bed. "So come on lay down and tell me all about yourself. I wont judge as Im too drunk." He laughed and let his shoes fall off onto the floor.

Flynn bit his lip as he shrugged out of his jacket to lay out on the bed, watching the other man spread out. He blushed a little when he invited him to lay out next to him. Flynn shook off his sweatshirt, his shirt catching and pulling up a little before pulling it back down. "So...about me. My parents are still together, I have a younger sister. She's amazing..." He said, trailing off trying not to think about her sister and the clock they had on her. "How about you? Any siblings?"

"Younger brother. He is really cool. Can be a bit of an asshole at times but hey siblings know how to push your buttons." He said rolling onto his side and gazing at him with a smile. "So why vegas?"

Flynn laughed softly. He hadn't had many issues with Ava but then he was a lot older than her, and her being ill...it just didn't see like it was worth it. His heart beat faster when Rhys rolled to him, asking why Vegas. "Luck actually. I made a list of all the places I wanted to go, could afford to go and where it wouldn't be a bad season...put them in a bucket and pulled out Vegas." He said, leaning forward a little. "So were you excited to come to Vegas- since I'm assuming it was your buddies choice."

"Yeah I was. I split with y ex and it was a little messy so I threw myself into work and now I'm here... with you." He murmured and looked away with a small blush. "Do you like it here?"

Flynn wondered who in the hell would ditch the man next to him. He smiled softly as the man said he was here with him, he was glad as well. He reached out to tangle his legs with the other man. "I think I've started liking it a lot more since you sat down with me." He said, leaning forward a little more until he was surely in Rhys' face. He licked his lips and caught Rhys' as well.

Rhys smirked and looked at him. "So you are single huh?" He asked with a smile then tilted his head. "So when was the last time you ....? he asked ad oved a little closer.

Flynn blushed when asked about the last time he had been intimate. "At least a year." He answered, reaching out to drape an arm over the other man's waist. "I was kind of hoping that you might change that..." He said, looking at Rhys' lips and then back up again.

"Its the least I could do after you have waited so long." He breathed and kissed hi lightly and looked at hi with a raised brow as he was waiting for a response on if he should go further

Flynn felt time slow after he said those words, wondering how he had gotten so brave but then he was fairly drunk. The words had barely sunk in when Rhys closed the gap and kissed him. It was light and tentative and he pouted when he pulled away. He leaned forward and kissed him back, adding pressure and using the arm he had draped over the other man to pull him close.

Rhys chuckled and then softly kissed him again holding his face in his hand the kiss became more passionate the longer it lasted and Rhys pulled back and smiled still with his eyes closed " that's.. nice." He mused " I like that."

Flynn breathed in the scent of the other man as he kissed him softly, hands gently cupping is face. They stayed locked together until they were breathless. "I liked it too. How about I fix us both a screwdriver and we can discuss just what we're expecting from this night..."

" I'll have a champagne." He murmured " it's in the mini bar." He smiled at him as he got up and made them drinks giving Rhys perfect opportunity to look as his ass. He was hot. And Rhys wanted him.

Flynn nodded and headed to the mini-bar wanting to clear his head. He wanted to make sure that he and Rhys were on the same page. Feeling his eyes on him though, he had a feeling that they were. He passed over the glass of champagne and settled on the bed close him. "So what do you want of me?"

" the same thing you want from me." He teased not letting up. " a year since you last had sex Huh? You must miss it right? Do you top or bottom?" He asked and took a sip of champagne.

Flynn drank a little deeper, listening as he teased him, feeling better that they were on the same page. "I'm flexible. I like both. I'm more about pleasing the other person. If that means they want to top, I am fine bottoming- or visa versa. How about you?"

" same. I love oral and rimming. I could literally come from just that." He groaned and sighed it had been a while since he last had sex and he was beginning to miss it. " so.. what do you like in bed ?"

Flynn was beginning to wish they hadn't stopped and that they were doing all the things they had talked about instead of just talking. "I...like a lot of things. Rimming and oral are amazing. I love...giving myself over, marks, feeling it- those reminders..." He said, blushing lightly. "I think...maybe we should stop talking and start doing..." He said, downing the rest of the glass.

Rhys watched him and laid out on the bed" I am all yours." He teased and then caught his eye and grabbed his shirt pulling him onto him. He kissed him roughly and moaned

Flynn's breath caught in his chest as the other man laid out on the bed, offering himself to him. He put down his glass and moved closer, letting out a little gasp of surprise when Rhys grabbed his shirt to pull him close. He moaned when their lips collided, burying his fingers into Rhys' hair keeping him there. After a long moment, he let his hand drift down between them to start working the buttons of Rhys' shirt open. He hummed as he felt the warm skin and hard muscles, marveling that he had been lucky enough to have the man agree to leave the bar with him.

Rhys smiled and pulled off his shirt before reaching for flynns. He pulled it off and began to kiss his neck and chest rolling around on the bed till he was breathless and flushed. " you sure you want to?" He breathed as he pressed against him

Flynn felt way out of his league when Rhys pulled off his shirt. The man under him was built and he was...not. He wasn’t fat but it was obvious Rhys had a physical job and he didn’t. That fact didn’t seem to faze Rhys, who had him out of his shirt and under him a moment later. They lost themselves in kisses, rolling around, entangled in each other before Rhys broke the kiss to ask him. “I am. Are you?” He asked, offering him the same curtesy, even as his head was swimming with desire (and booze) and his body starting to react.

" fuck yeah. I'm so hot for you right now." He whispered and palmed him and nipped at his neck. " but you know once we have sex we have to get married." He teased " it's vegas." He murmured and worked his way to nipping his nipple

Flynn moaned softly as the other man gently groped him, softly nipping his neck. He laughed softly when he mentioned marriage. “Pretty sure you’re supposed to get married before the sex...” He teased back, arching up as Rhys’ lips worked over his chest before capturing a nipple. “Fuck...” he whined softly, letting his hands tangle in his hair again. “You like to tease...”

Rhys pulled away " then let's get married." He said grabbing his shirt and shoes " the quicker we marry the quicker I can fuck you into the mattress."

Flynn blinked, the sudden absence of the handsome man over him. “What?” He mumbled, the man’s words finally filtering in. “That’s crazy...” He murmured but even as he did, he found himself climbing off the bed to get dressed, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the elevator. He pressed Rhys against the wall as they entered, kissing him desperately as they rode their way down to the lobby. A small part of him was trying to tell him this was crazy...but he was too drunk and too hazy from lust to realize that part was right.

Rhys kissed Flynn passionately in the elevator in a wild moment before pulling him out to the main floor " ok where's the chapel. " he said and then looked at him " shit you need your passport." He hiccupped

Flynn was breathing heavy when they parted, biting his lip and looking around when Rhys asked about the chapel- shaking his head when he brought up his passport. "N-No, just need my driver's license- license! We need to get the marriage license." He said, looking up the clock. "We've got 30 minutes." He said, heading out, fingers tangled with Rhys to pull him to a cab. "200 S. 3rd St." He ordered the cabbie

Rhys laughed and climbed in the cab with a smirk. he loved adventures and he enjoyed watching Flynn seem nervous but excited. He was getting married. H watched as the Cabbie drove fast through the strip untill they got to where they needed to be. H eclimbed out and smiled at Flynn. "ok now what?"

Flynn was a bundle of nerves but he was excited. This was crazy and impulsive but it wasn't enough to stop him for taking on this adventure. They pulled up in no time flat (or it seemed that way anyway). "Right. Now we go in, fill out the papers, they give us a license and we find a chapel that'll marry us." He answered, blushing lightly following Rhys up the stairs. They managed to get the papers filled out and put in just in time. They left around midnight and Flynn held Rhys' hand. "So, now we need the chapel."

"What about the chapel o love they are drag queen preists." He laughed. "Wait I need to get you a ring." he raced into a tacky jewellery store and found a silver ring with a diamond horeshoe on it. He came back out and in the middle of the street proposed on one knee as people walked past.

"If that's where you want to get married." He said, leaning against Rhys a little, looking up to him. "You've got such Bright Eyes...they shine even in the dark..." He murmured, watching as Rhys took off into a jewelry store, returning a moment later with a ring before he got down on one knee. He blushed and even teared up a bit when Rhys got down on one knee and proposed. "Yes, I will marry you." He said, laughing as they garnered applause, kissing to seal the deal. They walked along, holding onto each other until they found the chapel they were looking for. He felt his heart pounding as they approached but he pulled him up short. "I just realized...I don't know how to say your- our- last name." He murmured, looking at the certificate.

" it's said Cher val ee yay it's French I'm from Paris. What's your surname ?" He asked as he watched him mouth his surname " should I know anything about you ? Crazy exs kids etc."

"Cher-val-ee-yay. Got it. Ooo how exotic..." He said, laughing at his own silly joke. "Holt. Not all that exciting." He said with a shrug when he realized he did ask him the same. "Only relationship that wasn't mutual was a girl who decided she didn't like that I like boys. No kids- and possibly not ever."

" you never know you could have one or two in the future." He said with a soft smile and then waved a cab. " let's go get married." He said taking his hand

"I...who knows." He said softly, not wanting to bring the mood down by talking about his sister and the fear of passing those genes along. Flynn blinked as Rhys hailed a cab, looking up when he realized they weren't at the right place after all. He climbed into the cab behind him looking out as they passed, his heart and stomach meeting as they climbed out again. "Ready?" He said, gazing at the man beside him.

" the game is on." He grinned and told the guy where to go. He squeezed his hand and kissed his head and wrapped his arm around him.

Flynn felt warmth spread through him as the other man kissed his head, arm wrapping around him. He followed after him and they went up to the counter to make arrangements. They picked out wedding bands, which Flynn paid for, and then Rhys paid for the tux rental. They were whisked away and Flynn selected a gray tux, taking his place outside of the chapel, knowing Rhys was would be waiting at the other end for him.

Rhys felt weird in a tux but the blue suit and pink tie suited him. He stood and waited still slightly numb from the alcohol and smiled to himself. He had found a tramp and a stripper to be the witnesses and wondered who Flynn would walk down the isle with.

Flynn fidgeted a little outside the chapel as he waited for his turn. There was a moment, when he sobered for a moment, wistful that his family wasn't there. It didn't matter though, they could celebrate later, have a renewal ceremony. Now, what mattered, was that he made it to the end of the aisle. He took in a breath and let it out a little shakily when he heard the music start. He had selected pachelbel canon in d and the doors opened, his breath caught. He barely knew the man at the end...but he was stunning and the way he was smiling at him. He took his time walking down the short aisle, feeling a little silly but as Rhys' strong hand took his when he reached the end, he settled. This was random and spontaneous but something felt so right about this.

Rhys smiled as Flynn walked down the aisle and then when service began he squeezed his hand and smiled and whispered " relax." He answered and repeated when the drag queen told him to he then looked at Flynn

Flynn was trying not to fidget but it seemed he wasn't doing well as Rhys whispered to relax- and amazingly it worked. The one soft word from the other man settled him. The service started and even though it took him a moment to catch up with what he was meant to say, he made it. He surprised himself when he felt tears slipping down his cheeks as they were pronounced married. He was overjoyed- marrying a stranger and he was happier than he had been in a long while.

Rhys saw tears and stroked them away. " you ok?" He murmured and then posed for the photos. He walked out hand in hand with Flynn. " so did you take my name?" He asked as they headed back to the hotel

Flynn blushed as Rhys reached up to brush away the tears. "Yeah, I'm good...just really happy." He said, smiling at him, posing for photos with his new husband. After a few solo photos, he laughed as the drag queens and everyone jumped in their photo for the group shot. They were given two thumb drives of the photo files and then they headed out to go back to the hotel for their honeymoon. "I think we hyphenated." He said with a laugh, looking at the folder of paperwork again. "We're officially Rhys and Flynn Chevalier-Holt" He said, stepping into the lobby and heading back to the elevator and up to Rhys' room. "Since I walked down the aisle I think that means I'm meant to be carried over the threshold to our honeymoon bed."

" you get all the fun stuff. Although if you are playing the wife role then I guess that means I get to fuck you tonight." He beamed as he picked him up and then carried him into the room and laid him on the bed. He kissed him softly before standing back and stripping to his boxers. " your turn."

"I would've let you walk down the aisle but...I don't know, you seem more like the one to be waiting at the end." He murmured, giving him a smirk when he said he would be fucked if he were the wife. "You won't hear me complain." He said, letting out a laugh as the other man- his husband- swept him off his feet and carried him into the room, laying him out on the bed. He bit his lip as he watched the man strip, before he slipped off the bed to do the same. He was a little shy as Rhys watched him, suddenly worried he wouldn't like what he saw. He smiled shyly and then kicked off his boxers as well. "Your turn..."

Rhys smiled and raised a brow as Flynn dropped his pants. " ok." He grinned and dropped his boxers and looked at him." You like what you see?" He asked and bit his lip with a sexy smile

Flynn bit his lip when Rhys quirked an eyebrow, but he had to let go. He let his gaze drag over his husband, breath catching. "Fuck every inch of you is gorgeous..." He murmured looking at other man before crowding his space to kiss him deeply. He stayed until he couldn't breath and pulled back gasping before crawling onto the bed. "Nothing between us now."

Rhys laughed " I could say the same about you." He said and climbed into bed beside him. " you are so hot." He grinned and kissed him slowly as he wrapped his arms around him. He smiled and stroked his hair " you are so handsome."

Flynn reached out as he settled next to him, relaxing in his arms as Rhys kissed him slowly. He hummed softly as he pet his hair, complimenting him. "Thank you...so are you. You and your bright eyes..." He said gazing at him, getting lost in the deep green and golden flecks. "Do you...have supplies?"

i feel like it’s about time for another system roll call?

this is callon & kei typing. i think kei is closer to front but system organization (and being awake Constantly) is callon’s thing, so.

we’ve been doing alright. i was kind of in the hole for a while after we broke up with toah but the new season brought me back & hanging out with shilo for a while was really good. callon has been like.. so consistently at front that ey’s starting to lose eir sense of identity again, which i guess happens but it’s not the best. we’d like eir to rest but idk if i’m up for core rotation again yet, and it’s hard for vex to front if callon’s not around, and we need vex to front for con prep, so. idk, i guess callon’s gonna be around for a while longer. i’ll try to help though.

vex is technically still in eir work room but the door is cracked open and there’s like a flurry of activity in there. ey’s doing eir best to get us through katsu prep and doing a pretty good job!

amelia and floret have been on the couch bonding since floret got back. they’re drinking tea and like keeping their heads close together. post-storm reunion feels? floret might be ready to be active again soon.

echo’s napping in her chair, as per usual.

gabbi is leaning on the counter & fondly watching amelia & floret, i think ne made the tea for them.

nitexx seems to be working on new music in zir room, with kayden. they’ve been wanting to sing for you guys for a while but our laptop can’t handle recording audio any more so we’re not really sure when or if that will happen.

vite is outside with the gang. they seem to be building a tree-house? i thought their club room would be a building beside the tree, but. kitt is definitely in the tree with a hammer. nero is on the ground shouting up at im.

riley is sitting at the top of the stairs. it took a while to find it, its presence is still a bit hard to pin down.

haze is outside by raliel’s cliffs for once, i guess enjoying the fog and sea mist.

remm is still in vir room. the door is cracked open and we can’t see vir through it but we can kind of sense vir and it feels like a trap.

ailecent has ascended the building entirely and is hanging out with xykiel above the roof, both of them in pure light form for the time being. ailecent has been extremely quiet lately but ae doesn’t seem to be doing badly.

over at corian’s house, tyto and perien are trying to figure out how to cast small magics with tea brewing. it’s nice to see perien like indoors and hanging out with people. nika seems to be their willing test subject, drinking whatever they put out and maybe starting to get a bit caffeinated. corian is... down in their workroom, i think?

i don’t remember if we mentioned, but kestrel created a cave that opens into corian’s workspace. we’re aware of its presence and its rough appearance but we can’t tell if ae’s actually down there because corian’s workspace is sort of a forbidden zone. maybe if tyto was fronting we could explore more but it’s me, so. mysteries.

azdien’s mansion is housing the usual suspects. vae’s in vaer reading room, apparently actually reading despite the horrendous lighting.

oh! kestrel’s in the mansion now apparently. ae looks very smug & is drinking.. probably tea? maybe coffee?? prepared by drohen, who does not pull anything weird with it like tyto does, or do “fruity bullshit” like gabbi. jody is there too. darion is, as fucking always. trysten.... is hanging out with nika actually, but not drinking tyto’s tea.

micah is in their room, and seems to be hard at work coding and/or crafting conspiracies.

tobias is also still in his room but he seems like he might wander out and have tea with the others eventually. door cautiously cracked open.

oh, nine was like across the back of the chair nika is in and i didn’t even notice bc corian’s sense of decoration is so pavonine to start with lmao.

kisoquine is in azdien’s kitchen today? xe seems to be looking for something but we are not about to ask what.

rayn is still in the shallows but it seems like it would go up to the house and hang out with amelia & co if it could. hopefully that group will take a walk by the shore soon.

gail is skulking around the woods between skye & drohen’s territories. skye is... also brewing tea, green. aloe seems to like the smell of it.

and ooze ocean is peacefully in void’s own dimension, as void should be.

so i guess since like everyone in system is having tea, i will go put a pot on for the body & our housemates. hopefully we can do research into tyto’s tea spells soon.

Wrapping up phase one…

Okay, it’s just time to get this started as a regular part of our process. As it stands now there were so many different workouts I wanted to write, hesitated, and it was past. So, this is likely going to be a little on the long side, but still good info as we start the season, so be sure you are reading all the way through National Group.

We’ll start with a general wrap up of the first 6 week phase and how we have started. I’ve stated over and over, but I think you are all off to a very impressive start to the season. The second half of the training period of the fall season will be what makes or breaks things from here. You’ve put yourselves in a great position to build off of the first half and really make some big changes, but it’s going to test you over and over for the next 6 weeks. It’s going to challenge how bad you want to reach those goals. Are you willing to push 100% when asked to go fast, because you know 99% isn’t going to get you there? Are you willing to focus on the details until you master the basics? With the understanding that mastering something is not the ability to do it correctly, but your inability to do it incorrectly. Build those habits that will get you to success. Make those Champion’s Choices. It’s time to decide how bad you want it and will yourself to push through the pain now, so you see that break through at the end of the season.

Our goals #WJTEAM #P2MR #P8FR are well under-way and we are climbing to them, and now is the time to keep those right in front of you like a carrot. Avoid that complacency by keeping that focus on those TEAM goals. We need to earn it daily!

Of which, we’ll make that the first pic. Our Sept 24th effort towards the #P2MR goal is below and is a solid start. The more we compete with each other and support each other, the better we are as a TEAM.

Okay, let’s touch base on some workouts here as well. First off some technical work for each of the strokes (non-free). I’m not going to spend a ton of time here, but I want each of you to know and understand those focal points on each. Fly is clearly power into rhythm. The pieces all need to then fall into that from there, but without those two you are lost. Backstroke is that connection of the pull to the rotation of the body. Not only creating more power with this connection, but it will set up the proper timing of the stroke to allow for efficient speed variations of the same stroke technique. Breaststroke is so many things to so many people, but our two focal points are going to be the power in our kicks and from there the insweep used to create the all-important timing of the stroke. While other strokes timing may make it a 1 (arms) + 1 (legs) = 3 equation when you add in the proper timing, for breaststroke it’s more like 1 (arms) + 1 (legs) = 7 equation when you have the right timing. You can take an average breaststroke puller and kicker, but have an impressive swimmer, all because of how it all works together.

Take a quick look through again just to understand those focus points. Keep in mind the more we find those things that not working for us, but against us, the more efficient you become in the water. That efficiency comes in the way of feeling much better at the end of races.

Be ready as well, we will do quite a bit of fast stuff with fins. I like the focus on being prepared to handle that type of speed and of course the increased leg drive to really benefit from fins is a bonus as well. (I included the front of the board for your times on the 100 from a push with fins)

Test sets coming up next. I’m not going to spend quite as much time on those here, but I do want to talk a bit as we completed the first round of the year. We have these 2 which will be our standards, and then we’ll also occasionally do one that is a throw back to my high school swimming days. We’ll do a best average set of 10x100 on 2:00 – break at 5 to collect times, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

First up was the Step Test. We’re focusing in on free or IM on the Step Test now. The goal here is to be able to have a pretty steady descent as you move from HR to HR (again, HR60 refers to 60 beats below max, or roughly 22-24 beats per 10 seconds) and down to the fast 200. I like 5 for us as if our strokes are where they need to be and we swim efficiently, we should be able to do this very well. If we are falling off or struggling, I believe it shows inefficiencies in either strokes, racing, or training. Your first goal is to be as fast as possible at each level, with as even of a swim as possible (100 to 100), at the designated heart rate. Learning how to swim 200’s like that, being efficiently powerful, and numerous other things will help us get better at that, and then the goal is to move the graph to the left at every point through consistent, focused commitment to the training.

Overall assessment is a good starting point. The set and 200’s seem to have been swum really well, but we need to be faster on the end. That’s both because of where we want to be, but also to some degree where we already are now. Next time the board will show circles for improvements and underlines for ties, and we need the board full of circles.

Below you’ll see a spreadsheet that you’ll get a link to on Google sheets. I’ll have the first one filled in, you’ll fill it in from there. I have a master sheet that is linked to each of yours and I’ll get an alert when they are updated, so we can all stay on the same page. The graph on the right shows the first set, and then will compare against that line each time as they are already all set up. We are using an average 100 time, so just divided by 2 and done the math for the full heartrate. Danny was first on the list, so you can see his below. Pretty steady climb overall, and needs to be faster. The main focus would be the big jump in heartrate from the 4th to the 5th swim, but the time not having that same corresponding size jump. Shows a bit of an inefficiency there (although only slight as I have seen many work harder and go slower, there was still an increase in speed here), as we as a similar steapness to the line from 1 to 2. Your refernce line is around a 45 degrees.

Up next was the Challenge 100’s. Short interval, holding stroke. It’s that drive and push to maintain stroke on the end of the 200 all wrapped up in a test set. How much will you be able to drop that interval this year? Again, improved set performance is definitely still possible at this point, but the main goal is physical changes by what you do on a daily basis between now and the next set. Three of you need to start thinking about your next interval as well.

I’ll wrap up the write up for the first phase of training with some shout outs. First and foremost, you need to all understand that you are off to a great start. So my first shout out goes to the entire group, and that is the most important piece by far. We are in a fantastic spot, but the thing is that the chase never stops. We need to be striving for excellence daily. Pushing through to new levels. That’s the opportunity you have opened up for yourselves, the opportunity to work your way through the door of greatness.

AS – is just getting it done, we found a stroke flaw that really stood out finally and not only was she able to change it, but it already seems to be her stroke and showing amazing advancements already, that’s impressive, then add the determination to work herself to the level she wants to be and oh, still swimming fast along the way, big things coming

NC – look out for Nicky, she is just getting the work done day in and day out, if she builds her confidence with things like already hitting her Challenge 100 pace and all of her other sets, and then allows herself to race like that at the end, 😊

KR – consistency? I think this is it. If I am not mistaken, she’s found this needed focus in workouts and is ready to take this great start to new levels. Consistency at this level alone, let alone any gains from here, is going to yield a lot of smiles in the end

AY – making some great stroke changes and finding a way to have some speed when tired, this could be a very fun year indeed

DS – sometimes the first step is learning what you have to learn, then moving forward from there; doing a nice job learning those steps still to take to become the swimmer he wants to be; pedal to the floor

RD – refocused, driven and ready for big things it appears

IH – getting after it daily in workouts and if he is getting ready to race that same way, he is in for some big swims

Okay, I think that will wrap up the first phase of training and on to the next. Time to find some speed!

Great job all. It’s time for all of us to settle in and find that consistency over the next 6 weeks. Recruit trips winding down, tests taken, school trips done, it’s time for us to settle in, be consistent, and roll through this phase even better than the first.

Keep it up and …

Go Rose Bowl!

Survey Says, Part IV, Finale

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been trying to get people to fill out a survey which I do 1-3 times a year, these often do have impact in choosing how the sim moves forward. Bit behind on these results like many other things!

Believe we’re on question #10

10 asked, Events: What do you prefer? (Can choose more than one)

78% PVE, blend of combat and story

63.4% PVP

63.4% PVE, primarily story

58.8% Social, Pazaak, Racing,etc

31.7% PVE, combat focused.

Can see above we have a fairly diverse player base in what they like to do. We’re a bit short on storytellers right now so if you or someone you know may fit that role, do let me know.

Then #11 asked “ What social event would you like to see more of?”

By far the favorites here were Swoop Racing and Fights. The downside to swoop racing is that everytime someone loads into sim it causes a few second delay for everyone, but if people are willing to deal with that we can definitely hold more races. As for the fights we have a “Pit Fighting League” under construction in which people will be able to earn credits by having sanctioned matches which they can do at any time and submit logs (though limited in how many they can do). It will also have tournaments and champions. Every fight done can potentially increase someones placing within the league to lead to bigger prizes at the end of the season. Still seeking some help managing this. Pazaak didn’t get as much love but we do like doing those as they are an easy social thing to throw together. Some of the other answers included a desire to see more tech rolls in the events, then someone mentioned more like Sume’s Valentine day event, then someone even mentioned music. We’re open to ideas and do support players who want to run something.

Last thing we asked was #12: Any other general thoughts you'd like to share? Please keep brief/to the point.

Lot of responses so I’ll select a few without getting redundant.

“Ensure that the system you have in place does not need certain players online. I.E, Ive been trying to get my Imperial I.D, and cannot. “ - Anon#1

I think this was fixed so that there is an automated version?

“ I’d love to see the trash piles spawn more often and/or give out more resources. This is invaluable to new players, as gaining credits was quite tough for me and many others at first. The trash is a good way to start up from nothing, but I feel it should spawn slightly more than 1-10 Credits or 1 crafting resource; especially with how rare they are right now. “ - Anon#2

I agree, been asking Renward about this type of thing but he’s been very busy.

“ when chars are arrested very little if any rp is done after the initial arrest. No interrogation. No release. This needs to change. “ - Anon#3

I find captures are often very hit or miss.

“ I have never RP'd anywhere else before and this is the most fun I have had on Secondlife so far in 11 years. The main draw of this sim to me is the amount of people who actively use it. I could not see myself RPing in a sim with a low amount of active players. Getting new players and retaining old players is the most important thing to me. I have no real ideas on how to do this though. Good luck!” - Anon#4

Thank you, we do our best with that, sometimes more difficult than others but we’ve been able to maintain for around half a decade, let’s go for a whole one :d

“ I loveloveLOVE the build but I noticed it's very graphics laggy. I also noticed that while you use teleporters to essentially skyboxes with the building interiors, those interiors are still directly behind the building facades. If you moved them out of draw distance and spaced them out, the sim would be a lot easier to render for everyone. Less lag, higher framerates, more fun! “ - Anon#5

The reason I do tend to do this is I find if something is out of cam range, people are less likely to enter, you do give a valid argument though and will consider further.

“ Having mentors/mediators would be really helpful to take a lot of the load off the staff on sim. So then they can focus on the cool stuff, like building the lore, and actual problems. “ - #Anon#6

Yeah, would like to find a few more.

“ I'm concerned about the system being an element that pulls players from the immersion of their RP. As medical personnel i'm also still concerned with the 'reset' feature on health causing individuals to not be prompted to seek medical attention for their injuries. It is a handy system for varying stats, offering abilities and providing a more structured combat basis but it would be helpful if there was an easier application for it than typing in commands. If there were an attachable HUD for the Chimera available upon entry to the sim which offered either buttons for Chimera options or a drop-down menu to choose from it might help expedite system use in combat, speed up combat, and make the experience more enjoyable overall. Spending hours in combat can sometimes be exhausting and take away from time desired for other aspects of RP. “ - #Anon7

Post this, we did take action about the reset button and have taken a few other steps as well to increase realistic recovery from injury and people using medical services. May still see more in this area.

“ With regards to conscent, reasonable right to life and consequence. Dont do something that would get you arrested, and deny consent. “ - #Anon8

Yeah, would agree on that, you may see changes in that area very soon. We’re behind on many things we’d like to do.

“ I feel like I’d personally be more invested if there was more for the Jedi to do. So far all we have to do is be captured or whatnot. It was fun for a bit but I think a lack of leadership for a while has made it hard. I hope this changes soon. “ - #Anon9

It is a difficult era for Jedi players, we knew that going in but we wanted to try something different. We are always shaking things up though so you could see things evolve in the future.

“ Lot of trolls get into the sim/rp. Gets a bit annoying. Might just be an issue all over SL, though. “ #Anon10

It is, but I find “trolls” are fairly easy to tune out/ignore/etc. The only time trolls have power is when people take the bait and react. They usually knock it off once they know it doesn’t get to you. To use my own example a few used to give me a hard time for engaging in sexual roleplay, they would take pictures and IM me these pictures. I laughed, and just got more lewd, like who cares? and they stopped making a thing of it.. so I just find trolls pretty easy to ward off or ignore. Always more concerned with those who create and stir drama than I am with trolls. Drama kills sim dead, trolling is just irritating.

“ Well , if you ask to me , there should be much more various social events .. Also before the events such as pazaak there should be courses before he game night so people could have an idea about what they are doing . About the groups , you shouldnt bring some strangers as directors , you should pick them from the group according to their activeness. Also you should appreciate or make a system to appreciate employees such as [redacted] employees .. I have been in group for two months i think and i am still security guard. No rank-ups .. And i have been coming online and standing as a guard almost everyday . Thanks for your patience and reading this. Good luck about the sim.. “ - #Anon11

If there are those who have been active and also have leadership ability then they will be. Having the skills needed for leadership is not something every active player has. This could be because their temper is too short, or maybe they do not work well with other group leads to be able to create interactive roleplay, or maybe they just are lazy or a variety of other reasons. If we have someone who handles lead roles well, yes, at times they will leap frog if there isn’t a suitable candidate within X group.

“ If there is a time jump done, people need a way to get the most out of the 5+ year missing time. Something to encourage them to write up story for their characters for that time. After they've done so and handed it in, could lead towards special rewards for their character or the player. Something to think over. “ - #Anon12

I very much like this idea if we ever have one of those. There currently is not one planned but like I’ve said, we’re always willing to change and adapt to do what’s best for activity.

----

DONE. Thank you to everyone who filled it out, really enjoy the feedback as it helps us figure how we can improve things for you all.

❤ Veronica Mars ❤ Big Binge(Re)watching on one of my favourite series. ❤ It's summer, in this moment of the year usually the empty tv schedules lets me some holes in my (limited) free time and so i decided to do something that was rolling in my mind for quite a while now: rewatching veronica mars conpletely. This serie is one of my favest ever and i rewatched it a lot of times through the years but since the movie came out i never rewatched the whole thing all together. When i went to watch the movie at its release date it had been quite a while since i last saw veronica mars and so i'm sure i missed a couple of references here and there. Now i wanted to catch 'em all. XD With that said, after a few weeks spent on rewatching this pearl of a serie i have a couple of thoughts and question marks i have to note down. As a refresh of memory season three left us with many questions: - Veronica was with Piz at the end of the serie but when Logan beat up the ass of the scumbag that released her "sex tape" out in the open she smiled at him like a thanks (or something that could be seen as more for the LoVe fans) so we do not get to clearly see who she ends up with. - The Sheriff election: with Don Lamb now dead Keith was temporarily filling the place but only an election could make him permanent. However at the last minute his investigator and rival Vinny Van Lowe joined the "race" and emerged as his counter part in the fight for the job of the sheriff of Neptune. Since Vinny has been cooperating with the criminal family Fitzpatrick during all season 3, and was also plenty supported by them during elections, it was going to be a hard fight for Keith to win; however we do not get to see who the winner is, we are only left at the final scene of the last episode with Veronica voting for her dad. - Veronica's "stage" for the FBI is plenty mentioned during the serie, although when she misunderstands her Criminology Professor's intentions she makes a stepback in the will to join this stage but after that, when all is cleared, she still shows greatly interest for this opportunity. We are left with her happy about the acception from the FBI for her internship in virginia and Piz's face not exactly excited. - Wallace was joining the summer program of the group helping the child-soldiers in Uganda in the 18th episode of s3. - Mac left animalist Bronson (whyyyyyy?????) for helper-cheating-in-exams Max but in her last scenes wasn't too happy of Max's total lack of interest in college since his extra curricular activity was more than good for his wallet. And that's about it.. Probably some other minor stuff but that's what strikes out my attention the most. So here we go, beware for anyone that didnt see the movie yet from here on there are SPOILERS. Now we go to the 2014 movie of Veronica Mars. Set around 10 years after s3: - Veronica's lovestories have a hole from "9 years ago" to "1 year ago". The movie starts off having her together with Piz but it's been mentioned by Piz that they have not been together for these past 10 years. Veronica and Piz are back together only since 1 year and he mentions they had a relationship in college (that we know in fact) 9 years ago, but that's it. Logan also is surprised to find out that she is currently with Piz, but anyways they didn't stay in contact with eachother for these past years. - The current sheriff of Neptune turns out to be another Lamb, Don's brother, however more corrupted and less "capable" than the Lamb we know of. (wtf a brand new brother pulled out of a magic hat) A question mark remains: who won, years before, the election? Keith or Vincent? Nothing has been clearly stated about this in the movie; however when Veronica refreshes the viewers' memory with a brief description of the characters, at the moment to introduce Vinny she just says "private eye" and nothing else. She could have added "former sheriff" or any of her classic subtle comments to let us know his incapability to do the Sheriff but she did not. This leads me to think that Vinny didn't win the election. Just speculatively speaking, Keith could have won and stayed in her Sheriff job for the 5 (? Correct me here, im just guessing) years as the rules/laws say, so i can suppose that Neptune got worser after Keith's sheriff career finished. Right now he's returned to his private eye job with newer and technologic spy stuff. He is still mentioned as "former Sherif" by random characters but it's not specified the period of time they refer to (if when the Lilly Kane's murder occurred or if it was years later post elections). - The famous FBI internship.. Was blandly forgotten in the movie. Back then, after s3 finished, the staff produced a teaser trailer known as 4×00 where Veronica was FBI (letting us assume that the internship went well and that, possibly, after college she became an FBI agent, giving a pretty decent idea of what season 4 would have been about. Sadly as we all know, that never happened due to low ratings), but as of now, in the current storyline of the movie that important opportunity, that was also overly stressed in s3, was like never happened. What's more is that when we get to see our sweet former cop-agent Leo D'Amato he asks Veronica about the famous FBI thing but she says something like "you have heard wrong" or something. It's officially never happened. Moreover, according to Veronica's inner monologues she has left her investigative career (which we could guess it includes the possibility of the FBI internship) because -and here a brand new line of stortytelling starts- it was too addictive to her like drougs are with toxic-addicteds or like alchool is for alcholists. I have to say: this complete "take over" of the serie's main soul transformed into "something bad" it disappointed me. Now we get to see an apparently changed Veronica who has totallt left the private eye career and is now facing the chance of a Lawyer career. Wow. That is some change. Isnt it? Im not disappointed in the idea of change of interests for our protagonist, im disappointed instead in the "change of personality" the movie gave her and in the "exorcising" process of her private eye experience which was like her whole world. Her being. On a side note we get to see someone else changed: Logan is in the military now, aviation if i must guess. - Wallace's experience in Uganda: never spoken of. Well not that we can demand that 10 years later they are still talking of what they did so much time before, but even a super small slight mention wouldn't have hurt anyone. Well, let's talk abou Wallace a bit more: he was an extremely talented athlete and his dream was to become an engeneer. He wasn't super smart at was having some difficulties in his engeneer class but he was trying hard and it seemed he was achieving enough results to pass the class but who knows what happened. In this department as well nothing has been said anymore. For what regards his athlete talents it looks instead that he didnt pursue a professional athlete career but remained in the "same field" acting as a coach now, completely different from what fans might have expected. - Mac. She is always been a nice character, now we see her adult version working for Kane industries, a short cut of hair and woth no mentionable-worthing love stories currently. She is alone, i was sorry to see her with no one (well Wallace also is still single), of course no comments about her previous boyfriend/s be it Bronson or Max here either. Now to a new point to discuss that arised: - Weevil. Personally i always loved his character, probably almost as much as i love Logan. Thankfully they didnt make his character going out of the stage with the arrival of Herst college in s3, and since his arrest at the end of s2, made a sensed storyline that he strived to find a job that hired former inmates therefor he was hired as the janitor in Herst college to wisely keep him in the cast. Back in s3 he was interviewed in criminology class and confessed that it was hard for him not to go back to his old bad habits but that he was also trying hard to pursue the right path. Now in the movie he is surprisingly changed a lot: he is married with a beautiful wife which he visibly loves, in addition he has a lovely daughter whom he adores. He has a proper job now, he has his own car workshop. He dresses with normal clothes and is 100% legit. Doesn't touch a bike since 5 or so years (which is when his daughter was born). I loved how he changed. However he can still be a badass if needed (see when he joins Logan in the fight to protect Veronica's honor at the high school reunion) and also brave and selfless (see when he helps that car assaulted by the new generation of PCH bikers band). However that is exactly where i want to go: the scene where he helps the "poor person" in the car (which we later find out was the damn Celeste Kane). In her panic the stupid rich woman shoots at Weevil who was just going to help her and not only she hurts him but she also doesn't say anything when the Sheriff fabricates evidence and place a gun in Weevil's hand. The thing goes on and he's at the hospital and has to face assault accusation and the Kane bitch still doesnt say anything. Now. I don't know if it was just the damn Sheriff's fault (but i don't think she would get easily intimidated by him, since she is way more powerful than him) or if it was her idea to blame Weevil just to avoid any news of her shooting at her helper, but still what the hell man. What the hell. Concerning Weevil's case, later we see Keith in car with agent Sax that was willing to testify about the illegal behaviour of the sheriff and his men but he get murdered with a planned car incident. So we have no evidence to help Weevil's case. Keeping on with this his storyline we jump ahead to the end of the movie: we see him at Keith's office and they say he is still not out of the woods. Damn! The video esposing Sheriff's illegal behaviour of willing to pursue Logan as murderer just because he didn't care, didn't proof his illegal corrupted behaviour as well regarding the arrest of innocent people falsily accused like Weevil. So that video didn't proof Weevil's innocence and his charges are still on. I was hoping for the movie to solve that part of the story too but they just did not. They left it there. C'mon! This thing pissed me off. Poor Weevil, he deserves more love! He has a family now, he cant face false charges.
