hi finn, what would poor daddy think if he found out what you did to get out of playing quidditch? it could ruin the wood family name, we think. well, would you like to keep it a secret and pill reid anderson's secret or we can spill it. we can't wait to find out. lots of love, the gossip witches xoxo

Finn had a feeling something like this would have been coming, it seemed like it had been quiet for too long and once again it seemed like he was a target of the witches who seemed to like to make people's lives hell. He didn't know how long he had stared at the note, weighing the options over in his head, but when he caught sight of the other male who had been targeted he realised that the witches never said he had to keep the note a secret. Maybe he found a loophole, a way to one up them. Tracking down Reid after that had been easy, explaining to him that what the witches had on him would be career ending for him was a lot harder but he knew the other would understand, especially since they were in the same field and of course the other was being selfless, voluntarily falling on the blade so Finn could keep his secret, well, a secret. Finding a quill from someone, he scribbled Reid's name down on the bottom of the note, leaving it for the witches to find.

"You know what, I'm pretty confident that you wouldn't be able to change my point of view on that, ever. Never mind in a few minutes." Finn told the other, feeling like sometimes he could be swayed a little on some things, but this was definitely not one of those things. "You know, sometimes you do paint some very vivid images in my mind with your words, but I have to tell you, not all of them are good ones." Finn commented, "Especially given I don't think you'd be wanting to lap glitter off my skin like a dog with some peanut butter, not exactly the most appetising now, is it? As for my choice, I'm going to be honest with you, would probably do it again. Even knowing that I'd be eternally sparkly."

A little laugh left Roman and he leaned in a little. Pretty sure I could change that point of view given a few minutes." He couldn't resist murmuring in a hushed tone to the man, even if he had no intention of doing such things. He still had confidence enough in himself to know he could make it work. "Well.... lets just say that you wouldn't be the only one sparkling by the time I was done with you. Though maybe I'd do entirely too good of a job at cleaning it off you." He added a moment later, his smirk wide. "It's a choice you made, that's for certain." Roman agreed when Finn explained how he'd been sparkling forever after this.

[finnleywood]

Finn couldn't help but chuckle lightly at the others compliments, "I felt as though I couldn't really do it justice without the glitter, how would people know that I had the skin of a killer?" He teased. "Also I feel like people would just think I didn't dress up, but I'm glad to see that the majority of people tend to know who I am, so the eternal glitter on my skin has been worth it. I think." As she asked about whether he had any accompaniments to his costume he shook his head, "No, it's just me. What about you though? Have you got a Dmitri to go with your costume?"

"Your choice of costume is absolutely iconic," Samantha insisted passionately to the other. "Like even down to the sparkles? To say I'm obsessed would be a major understatement," she grinned. "Have you got a Bella or a Jacob to go with the costume?"

"Concerned." Finn stated, his eyes a little wide as the other asked if he was turned on at the prospect of knives in the bedroom, "If anyone brought a knife into bed with me I would full on believe that they were actually a serial killer and I would either become their next victim or would have to turn into a Final Girl. I also know which one is most likely to end up happening too because I know I've not got what it takes to be a Final Girl." Finn explained to the other, maybe taking this a little too seriously. "I do value my privacy up to a point, yeah. But I have to ask, even though I might regret it like five seconds later, but what do you want to do to me that would make our entanglement entirely too obvious?" He found himself asking, his curiosity getting the better of him. "I think I can't answer the tabloids question until I know that one." Finn smiled and bowed his head a little in mock of a full bow. "Thank you, I can be pretty dedicated to something once my mind is set on it. And apparently this week it was ensuring that I am going to have some sort of glittery sparkle to my skin for the rest of my goddamn life."

"Concerned or turned on at the prospect?" Roman posed to Finn, a lascivious grin playing over his features as he gave the man the once over with his eyes again. "But that's a real shame because I know how you value your privacy and there's no way for me to do what I would like to do to you without our entanglement being entirely too obvious. And you wouldn't want that to get in the tabloids now would you?" Roman was definitely playing with the man because he knew the type of impact he had on Finn, but that didn't make his words any less true at the same time. "Well, bravo on the effort. You definitely went the extra mile. I can't say I'd be as dedicated."

[finnleywood]

Against all his better judgement Finn couldn't help but feel a shiver run through his body as the other dragged the sword across his collarbones, because of course it would belong to Roman and of course the other would still have this kind of effect on him. "I think I'm more concerned about the idea of you actually bringing swords or knives into the bedroom." Finn teased, still feeling the way in which the other was dragging the prop across his body. "You're right, you'd be caught straight away due to the fact that this shit sticks with you. I'm going to be finding glitter in places I don't want glitter for years to come." Because what seemed like a great idea at first, well, maybe not so great of an idea now. "But hey, none of this sparklepants shit, this is the skin of a killer don't you know." He smirked. "But I really wanted to get this part of the costume across, so had to go a little bit overboard with the body glitter. I guess no one is safe from me tonight if they end up getting a little too close."

It was a steady hand that held the sword in place, not wavering in the least except to allow it to travel across the mans collarbone and along the buttons of his shirt, head tilting slightly to one side. "Don't worry, I'm surprisingly adept at only slicing what I want to. It's not your skin you need to be concerned with right now." He teased, letting the sword trail lower, teasing down his body. "Though if I did manage to murder you, there would be very little chance of me getting away with it. Did someone dump you in a vat of glitter, sparklepants? Pretty sure I can't get near you without ending up looking like I've rubbed myself all up over you."

[finnleywood]

Finn loved Halloween, he loved the spooky decorations and theming of the food, he loved the horror of it all whether it be through movies or ghost stories and he truly loved getting dressed up and seeing other people's creative costumes. One thing he didn't love about the holiday though when at a party was the props. The amount of times in which he had nearly been taken out by a set of wings, or some sort of fake weaponry, well he wouldn't be able to count them on one hand. Which is why he felt himself calling out when a sword got a little too close to his throat from where he was sat down. "Hey! Watch where you're swinging that thing, I know it's not real but still don't feel like experiencing what it'd be like to get my throat slit."

FINNLEY WOOD // HALLOWEEN 2028

as Edward Cullen (Twilight) featuring several cans of spray on body glitter

[finnleywood]

FINN: Oof, wow. That was bad even for you. But you seem really proud of yourself so I'll let you have it. FINN: I wouldn't expect anything less from you and at least you'll be able to give me any tea that you find about him. Though, I'm like 87% certain that he's not after like dates and shit and just wants to sleep with me. So I wouldn't get too invested. FINN: I know I'm trying not to get too invested. FINN: I think the accidental like is a cross we all have to bare at least once in our lives. Now that I've done it, I feel like I've done my duty as a social media user. FINN: Yeah, can't imagine my boards being immaculate. More like a representation of my brain which is always a fucking mess. It's be like a chaotic dumpster fire. FINN: Yeah, got to be extra careful about a lot of things. Feel like I'm getting the hang of the fame thing these days though. Even if I've had to learn some of the lessons the hard way.

STELLA: I get it. Sometimes I do too. That makes has STYLE STELLA: Hah– his name really is fitting 😂 STELLA: Absolutely. You also know I'll take any excuse to throw in a playful dig at you but I really do mean this. STELLA: I will be doing SO much Insta stalking after this. I'll know more about him than you do in no time STELLA: As for the accidental like... rookie mistake but man we have all been there. You've been through the trenches like most of us 🫡 STELLA: Fair enough. I spent hours on my life on that site that I can never get back but like... I don't regret it either. My boards are fucking immaculate so it's all worth it in the end STELLA: Good shout. Especially with a following like yours– you've got to be extra careful

[finnleywood]

"You are so welcome, though I feel like it would have been weird if I was living with you all. I'd be like the Mum no one asked to be there, that or the Uncle that just sort of hangs around and no one knows why." Finn shook his head, "Not every other thing, just some things. But it's my right as the eldest sibling to worry about you, pretty sure it get's written into your DNA upon the birth of younger siblings." He explained. "And yeah, I know if I were to get a pet it'd be a dog, not a cat. Not a big cat person, which is always a problem when I go over to Stella's because there are just cats everywhere."

"Thanks Finn, glad I could be of service," she said sarcastically. "One less thing? That sounds like you worry about me for every other thing," she teased back. "There's always one cat person in a sibling relationship, and I'm glad that it was Nate and not me."

[finnleywood]

"Oh shit, I remember you telling me about that. Actually all the stories I heard from when Rory was living with the three of you sound like something right out of one of Nates' nightmares. So I can't imagine that would have been fun for you dealing with it all too." Finn commented with a low whistle, "Though I'm kind of glad it was you and not me, even if that does make me sound like a terrible person." He added. "But I'm glad you're not going to be stealing anyone's pet dogs, gives me one less thing to worry about when it comes to you." He teased. "At least you and Malcom have a mutual understanding, I swear he hisses at me every time I come visit, even if Nate says he doesn't. I must give off bad cat vibes."

Alison sighed, "Ugh, I wish," she replied. "Nate would kill me though if I brought home a dog. I was in that flat when Rory and Liam's dog infiltrated it, I do not wish to go through that again, even thought it was really cute. Maybe when I'm not living with Nate I'll get one, and I promise not to steal someone else's dog, even if they're cute. Right now I'll just have to deal with Nate's cat, who has a mutual agreement with me to stay our of each other's spaces, maybe sometimes give them some pets."

[finnleywood]

FINN: I realise now, that basically I'm saying that I want to dress like Harry Styles. FINN: I'd ask if you're just saying that to make me feel better, but then I remembered who I'm talking to and you're like the mother of tough love and saying things as they are. So I really shouldn't have reason to question you on this. But at least it comes across as charm and not ignorance. FINN: His name is Roman Rodriguez if you want to do a Insta stalk, I know I did one. Wasn't ashamed of myself for it and if I accidentally liked something from 8 months ago, then I will deny it until the cows come home. FINN: It's more like I don't trust myself on it because I will hyperfixate on something I see on there at like 9 in the morning and then the next thing I know it's like midnight. It feels dangerous in that sense. FINN: I tend not to post much on instagram or twitter either, because I'm scared I'll accidentally post something I shouldn't and then get cancelled. FINN: You're not wrong, it has been and it works for us so no point in changing it really.

STELLA: got it, got it STELLA: you're right, subtle is /not/ your thing. but like it made you a total hit with the fans. it always killed in interviews and all that. it's part of your charm, finn STELLA: that's a lot of as. damn. i've got to see this man you're talking about for myself some time STELLA: i don't get why lol... it's like the easiest app to not fuck up on. social media without the social part. sounds like you'd be better off on there than on instagram or twitter STELLA: oh 10000%. i'd argue that's been our relationship from the start anyways 😂

[finnleywood]

FINN: No, I would have still came. Knowing would have just allowed myself to prepare and potentially have to deliver some awkward conversations about privacy with the whole, please don't post about my private like and relations on your social platforms, thanks. FINN: That and I always check to see if roommates are journalists, just in case. FINN: Like they wish to worship and please you and that there's nothing they want more then that in that moment. I can see why that can be intoxicating. FINN: One thing at a time.

Roman: Would I have been invited to yours if I did have roommates? Roman: In a manner of speaking, yes. I tend to find them far more interesting. They have a way of looking at you and sounding, sometimes almost an innocence though more likely an eagerness for everything... it's a little bit intoxicating. Roman: Hah, well let's see if you make it through tonight first cowboy. One thing at a time.

[finnleywood]

FINN: Okay, good. Or well, not, not good. It wouldn't have mattered. Just doing collateral damage checks, you know? FINN: I never said it was a bad thing, but was I wrong? FINN: I'm good to skip out on the coffee tonight- tomorrow though? Unless that's WAY too forward. FINN: I'm sure you will be.

Roman: No, no roommates. Roman: I'm sure that's what you take from it. Roman: If you're so caught up on the coffee, I'll put the machine on for you. Roman: I'll be waiting.

[finnleywood]

FINN: Cool, thanks. FINN: Wait- actually, do you have roommates? FINN: So what I'm hearing is you're a big fan of people who basically fall over their feet to be close to you? FINN: Noted. Though might save the messaging someone who I don't know to get the down low on their best friend who I asked out for a coffee and it then somehow turned into the coffee being forgotten and me in their bed for a later date. FINN: See you shortly.

Roman: I'll send you my address. Roman: I can work with that. A lot of the time I find them the most fun. Roman: Most of it will be the truth, she may just exaggerate occasionally but it's mainly because she thinks she's funny. If you explain why I am sure she'll give you the low down. Roman: As am I cutie. I'll see you shortly.

[finnleywood]

FINN: I'm going to say 70's grandpa, cardigans and high waisted pants era. FINN: Look, you have known me for a very long time. Therefore you should know I am the furthest thing away from subtle most of the time. FINN: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my league. But glad to know that's all you needed to become invested. FINN: Alright is better than doing shit, so I'll take it. FINN: Probably. You know I come to you for all things pinterest because I don't trust myself on that app. FINN: Is it possible to love and hate someone at the same time, because I think that sums up my emotions for you right now.

STELLA: depends what era of grandpa we're talking STELLA: way to make it obvious 😂 STELLA: yup. sounds /super/ convincing after you just said that lol STELLA: a guy way out of your league? oh man i'm invested now STELLA: listen the whole 'not trying too hard' thing is on trend. not everyone can pull it off but you're doing alright STELLA: granola vibes... i'm going to be spending a lot of time on pinterest aren't i STELLA: yes but a very cute moose. make all the boy moose who are way out of your league go whaaa 😉

[finnleywood]

FINN: And so am I, so.... FINN: Right. Okay. That's really good to know because I find myself to be some of those things, often, not on purpose. FINN: Bisexual awakening to be saved for another time, got it. FINN: Will it not be the truth though? And just things that you don't want her to tell me about you? FINN: Looking forward to it. Like, really looking forward to it.

Roman: Well I'm available... Also, I really don't have a problem with eager and desperate. In fact I like it. Roman: That sounds like a story but we'll save it for another time. Roman: Do not trust everything she says however, she will try and wind you up. Roman: Good, well it is something we will explore.
