24 Christmas Eve // Homesick in Alpha House

Finn didn't feel a huge need to girl-it-up in the house anymore, within reason. Everyone either knew or wasn't important enough to his bottom line to hide from. To anyone not paying attention, he made a well and fine lady. If he didn't, oh well, he lived here. He was already in the trenches with all the newly empty rooms and being alone on Christmas Eve, he didn't want to spend it slumped alone in his room. He was spending it alone slumped into the couch in the living room. Home Alone 2 had just started and as on the nose as it felt he liked the movie too much to change it. At least some housemates let their dog run around the house so at some point he was joined by Rosanna's English bulldogs. A little piece of the homeland. He knew what Rosanna was doing tonight because Ethan had already told Rose that he, Mark, and Ro would be spending time. He knew because she was invited. He couldn't bring himself to go. How could he intrude on real friend's time like that? The guilt would eat him alive. There's a point between the family running through the airport and the toy store scene where he closes his eyes for just a few minutes. When they open again he sees someone sitting on the end other side of the sofa. Before he blinks a few times to get the sleep out of his eyes he thinks it is Schlatt, but no. Max had been sitting for some time, petting Coconut. Finn stays quiet and looks at the movie to see where they are then back to him. He glances over and when their eyes meet he gives the most unguarded smile Finn's seen in quite some time. "Settled down for a long winter nap, ain't ya?" He chuckles as Finn fixes his hair and sits up, rubbing his eyes and all. "Oh you don't need to get up! Sorry I just- I saw ya down here and- and I-" "Are you alone too?" He cuts him off, softly, quietly, but his own real tone. Max nods, cheeks pink but he doesn't wear the same shame that was prominent on everyone else who would be caught existing. Finn pat's the spot next to him and settles back down under his blanket and on his pillows. "Come sit with me at least. Max, right?" "Yeah! Uh yeah, Max." He tries to hold back a little enthusiasm as he scurries over the couch to sit next to Finn, surprised his presence was taken so well. Finn throws a side of his blanket over Max's legs and looks forward at the movie trying to not have him take it any kind of way. "And you're, Rose?" He weighs the choices in his head, turning his head to look at the other and wondering how worth it it would be to string him along, to build another collect of half-truths and stories. "Not tonight. Finn." Max seems to consider it for a moment and the thought is clearly still in his head as he gives a nod. Finn gives a nod back and looks back to the movie with his heart racing. @vomxtprxnce

Advent day 20: Just coal this year // future AU

"Suzy? Suzy!?" Arin called up the stairs to his wife, holding one daughter on his hip as the other followed quick behind them. "Suzy!" He exclaims as he walks into her work room, shes doing her make up and has one eye done so her look of surprise as she storms in with the whole rest of the house is even more giggle inducing to their youngest who peers at her from behind her dad.

"Yes! Arin?" She mockingly tells back and waits confused and just the slightest bit alarmed. Nothing seemed to be dramatically wrong even though the daughter in his arms pouting pretty fiercely. She was also pretty old to be picked up and carried at nine but Arin could manage it and has holding her tight right now.

"I'm going to go down the road and fight some gay dads, I need it to be on the record its cause their bratty little kid and not because they are gay." He says and holds Lilly a little tighter. His wife sighs and puts her stuff down after quickly finishing her winged liner.

"You're not going down the street to fight any dads." She says smiling up at him as she got closer and rubs her daughters back. "One of you stop frowning long enough to tell me what happned." She requests and they both look at eachother then to Suzy.

"Rue said I'm just getting coal this year cause Santa doesn't like me." She says and sniffles a little bit. "Said I'm too mean for presents." She adds which Arin huffs at, his lips a tight flat line under his mustache to keep himself from cursing.

"My little Likly is a sweetheart! That Santa adores!" He says and grabs her in again to give her a big squeeze. Suzy looks at him in disbelief shaking her head.

"You don't go fighting Joey and Cry because Rue said something rude." She said and pulled out her phone, getting Facebook up and going to a neighborhood mom group she kept getting reinvited to buy at least it be useful now. "You don't go fight them cause then they're martyrs... you start a rumor with the anti pageant moms that Rue is being forced to wear fake teeth and go see what happens at the next PTA meeting." She says and shows her husband a messages she sent. He starts to grin and put Lilly down to kiss his lovely wife.

"You're a wicked genius."

"Don't you forget it."

Advent day 25: Quarantine Christmas

Mark almost wanted to leave campus, but where would they even go that would be safer than here? Where was there going to be this many people to safely interact with, should he need that? What other was could he keep his family safe? He video calls with his mom but they only enjoy it for so long until the distance starts to become obvious and it just hurts a bit. They get off before their spirits are too damped and Mark checks on his phone. Nothing from Rosanna yet, but it was still kinda early. He let's put a sigh, dreading the year for a moment when he remembers another fella that locked up here away from his east coast home.

He gets up and throws on on a Santa hat, getting his gift for Ethan and heading down to his room with both Chica and Henry following. He thinks about last year as he travels through the hall. They both got to go home but their thoughts were still intertwined, their lives still co-exiting hundreds of miles apart. What lead him here? Not to Ethan's bedroom door exactly, but here? What always brought him back? What kind of thread was tied to the other side of the he knocked on. The thoughts all leave his head as the door opened and all he could do was smile as he held out the small stack of gifts. "Merry Christmas!"

Donating Toys| MortiLew AU|| Youni Advent Day 19

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” Suzy gasped as cameras captured her face as Shawna lured into the room with a dining room table and the floor underneath cascading with toys, the girl barely noticed that the photographer had taken the pictures. Her hands flew to clutch her fake pearls, but instead a beautiful negligee of death to match her dark dress. “Where did all of this come from?!”

“Our guests,” Shawna said as she wrapped her arms around the girl’s waist and kissing her exposed shoulder, “I said that if we’re gonna have a Christmas wedding then we’re gonna donate toys to kids, so that they had a gift to look forward to-”

“You set this up behind my back~!” Suzy huffed, turning around and embracing her new wife before giving her a few kisses on the list, “Genie~ how dare you keep secrets from me~”

“It’s not like I paid for it, Snoozy...I just told everyone in the wedding invite that they should bring gifts or raise money to buy gifts for kids in foster care...given that they were streamers and all that,” she said, biting her lip despite the kisses at the girl’s accusations, still having the feeling in her chest that almost made her not go through with all of this. 

“So..you mean- these are true donations?..Like direct donations?” she asked with a hush as they walked back out of the ballroom, closing the doors together, “Like they bought the toys-”

“And there’s 500k going to over 50 foster care facilities across the US and Canada...signed by the new Mrs. and Mrs. Suzy Berhow-Howson,” she explained confidently, “See? Our marriage is making a difference already-”

“You mean more to me than that, babe,” Suzy cut her off, still not comfortable with hearing their married name, or the fact that they were away from their wedding reception just for her to show her this: work. Not even just work, the fact that the children made her think of Arin, and the conversations she had with PJ and Danny before the wedding. All those months ago when the girl finally got a break from planning and the whirlwind of the culmination of a year-long engagement. Both of them agreed that if she felt so strongly about being with Shawna then just be with her, but if she had any doubts it would grow into resentment towards her for forcing her to choose. She could have started a family with Arin a lot easier than Shawna. She had already had that conversation with him, and planned it out, playing in his dorm room with pillows under her shirt. The little talks they had while he laid his head on her stomach in the grass. She just decided that it wasn’t worth going back to it, possibly getting hurt like she did again. The whole point was to move on, and she had to remember how many moments similar she had with Shawna.

“I know babe, it was a bad way to word it..Look, we’re gonna be at the party for the rest of the night, I just couldn’t wait to show that to you. If not, you wouldn’t have know about it until the wedding video came out from today...It was something that you and I were both really passionate about..and I knew how uneasy you’d been about the registry and the gifts, so I just told everyone I could we’d prefer to give for a good cause, but it’s not selfish,” the brunette explained, stopping her in the door before going back to their ballroom full of guests and family and friends. Shawna gave and gave to Suzy, but with not much conviction behind it because she could tell something was up, and that maybe this had gone on longer than expected. Damien and PJ knew that Shawna had best friends that she was a little too close to, as well as Damien not knowing that she had been engaged for the better part of a year. Knowing that what he felt from her was real, but there was no way they could properly work out being open because they would both question the validity of it all at the end of the day, and that they would probably be better apart. It tore Shawna to shreds knowing the life Suzy gave up to be with her and the life she was living to be with Suzy. 

That was something both girls wished they didn’t have to grapple with when they donated their love to one another out of curiosity and functionality- was that they would face levels of sacrifice and doubt that doesn’t come with things they donate to others willingly. Why couldn’t they be as hopeful as the table full of toys- bright, awaiting a future to make someone’s life that much more meaningful and give it more to understand about it, not necessarily a purpose.

Day 17: The Holiday Budget || Future Kids AU

YouTube Youniversity Advent Event

“I want frog, I want a gecko, I want-”

“Bud, that’s a lot of tanks for those animals.”

“Nuh uh, they all share one, maw-ster.”

“Oh, right, yeah, that makes sense.” Ethan laughed, shaking his head. 

He was being tugged around by “Frankenstein” in the store, letting them show and explain some of the toys they wanted this year for the holidays.

“What about something else, there’s no animals I can buy in this Walmart.” Ethan tried to put into perspective, not wanting to say to Franks right out that they couldn’t get them. 

“Ice pups!”

“Boy, that sounds familiar.” Ethan sighed, knowing exactly what his little creation meant. They were already 4 and too smart for their own good, and way too similar to him.

“I can get you those any day of the year, babes, tell me something you really want this year.” His eyes held tightly to their hand, unable to imagine his life at this point without the little tike by his side. He just wasn’t sure if everything they wanted this year was going to fit his budget.

“I want EVERYTHING!” they giggled hard and almost menacingly, going completely into super Saiyan pose in front of him, their curly hair puffing out around their head.

Ethan couldn’t help but laugh hard, picking them up in a swift motion and leaving them in a fit of laughter. “You know something, I want EVERYTHING too!” they teased, shaking them in the air as they held them. Some shoppers nearby watched in stun, wondering if a scene was happening right in front of them.

But no, just a dad playing with their kid.

Finally, Ethan settled Frankenstein on top of his shoulders, letting them swing their legs against his chest, even if it hurt. “But, for real, kid. What’s something you reallyreallyreallyreally want?” they traveled through the aisle together, like some big person without the trenchcoat. Ethan liked the thought of that, and maybe they would try playing something like that together at home when he could. 

“I wannaaaaa..” their eyes looked around as they spoke, hands gripping at the tops of Ethan’s hair. “Mawnster?”

“Yes, Frankenstein?”

“What if.. I wanna get you everything?”

Ethan felt his heart melt a little, smiling to himself. “I already have everything when I got you, my little monster..” he pulled them off his shoulders to start smother them with kissing all over.

They screamed playfully, wiggling and kicking in his arms, “You’re the monster, you’re the monster!” they yelled as more looks were given, right before Ethan set them back down to hold his hand. 

“Right, I’m sorry Frankenstein.” he smiled to himself, wanting to know he was still serious in this change for them. He knew he shouldn’t worry about upsetting them this year, he literally had the best kid in the world and they would love anything.

“I also want more skirts. And firework rockets!”

“Both are a given, you’re totally right.” he laughed, letting his babe lead them the rest of the way through the store.

Wait, Which One Was Yours Again?- Youni Advent Day 3: Hot Cocoa

The first snowstorm of the season had already blown through the school grounds, and with the extension of the Greek house social distancing exchange, Suzy was not too excited, but not very happy, either. She couldn’t even go back home to see her family or even go back into Gamma to stay in her room and occupy her own space. The visits that she would do- like the one she just did today with Matt- were just not enough. 

“Is the heat always this...functional, in the winter?” Suzy asked as she pulled off her hoodie, “I’m fucking cooking in this house!”

“We made it so that we had a fireplace that heats the center of the house like a heart. Then, we save money when the HVAC actually cuts on, and it gets so cold up here, that running both is natural..I don’t know why you didn’t expect that, one of our presidents is Canadian. They know all about extreme cold and saving money,” Matt explained as he prepared their mugs.

“Hehe..hm, I guess you’ve got a point there,” she said, “Then what’s with your room being so cold?”

Matt turned around, taking his vape off the table and taking a hit, blowing rings in the girl’s direction, making her giggle as she kicked lightly, not taking an eye off of her thighs, “I like it on the cool side, and I’m usually smoking cigs, and I don’t want the smoke to linger in my room.” He loved how she looked wearing a baby tee with some lounge shorts, sitting on his school hoodie. She must know what that does for him, her hair hanging out of the usual tie and ponytail she wears with the fresh blush on her cheeks of her sweat. The way this was all comfortable, and her easy amusement made everything so wholesome and familiar. 

“That makes a lot of sense...guessing you close the window when I get down there?” she asked.

“Yup..Either that or I crack it..you want cream in yours?” he asked, turning his attention away from the girl sitting on the island.

“You already did that!~” she quietly pointed out, feigning shocked and kicking his back with her foot playfully, “But I could never mind a little more...and cinnamon, too, please!”

“Coming right up! You get to try our house’s specialty hot cocoa-”

“Your house has a specialty cocoa?” Suzy looked up from her phone, “I thought that was only Alpha..”

“Gamma have one?”

“Nah...we just heat up chocolate G-Fuel with milk and Yoohoo-”

“That sounds interesting and very unhealthy, but what can you expect of streamers and gamers, right?” he said, waiting for the kettle to heat up and focusing his attention on her thighs again. He liked how even though she was sitting on the counter she was still underneath him, reaching a hand up to caress her cheek with his thumb as she moves to suck it slowly and seductively, then both breaking character to laugh as he grabbed the canister of cream, playfully and gently grabbing her jaw at its base, pointing her head up and lightly squeezing her cheeks, “Open your mouth for me,” he commands.

The words made the girl swoon a little as she opens her knees to bring them closer as she stuck her tongue out and gets a few seconds of spray of the homemade creamy foam onto her tongue as Matt sat down the canister and grabbed Suzy’s waist, locking their lips as she took in the foam and tasted it and the musty nicotine of Matt. She wrapped her arms around him as a moan tumbled out of her mouth as they shared a long and deep kiss while the kettle began a low whistle. “That was amazing~!” she moaned as he pulled away to grab the unmarked bottle, chocolate syrup, and a bottle of cream, “I want more~”

“You always want more, Suzy..you’re so needy” Matt joked, pulling out the electric stirrer and putting the ingredients together in a medium tumbler glass with some cinnamon powder.

“No, but seriously..that was the..sweetest whipped cream I’ve ever had...the kiss made it so much better..” she mentioned as she grabbed the canister next to her.

“We make out stuff in-house, since we usually don’t leave and our house made us follow this code of taking pride in the pure materials that makeup small things. So we source as many things as freshly as possible and make it ourselves...Also, we’re very particular about our coffee, so we have to hand-pick our materials, which also make great deserts...” he said as he poured the mixture into his large mug and goes to wash the head and the tumbler.

“Who made the whipped cream?..What’d you just put in yours?” Suzy asked as she kept taking samples of the cream.

“Homemade Kahlua liquor..figured you didn’t want to get even hotter by having bourbon whiskey liquor warming you up in your hot cocoa..Also, it’s strong,” he said, dipping his finger in his mug and coming over to allow her to taste it, Suzy again seductively sucking on his finger with some familiar tactfulness and class. Matt breathed as she moaned again from the flavor. 

“I really like it~” Suzy bit her lip as she playfully wrapped her legs around Matt’s waist, to pull him in, “And of course your trailer park ass needs brown alcohol to keep warm..it’s so..primitive, but...more rustic coming from you..”

“It’s called Southern charm and hospitality, baby~..A lil love makes everything a lil better...” Matt cooed after he handed the girl her large mug with the cocoa powder and sugar and the bag of extra large marshmallows, which she sat the bag on the counter and waited for the water. He takes the assembles and garnishes her mug with the cinnamon as per her request atop her whipped cream that hid the huge pillow floating in the chocolate. He finished assembling his own and toasted with the girl for the first sip. 

~Half a cup of Cocoa later~

Matt’s panting fills his bathroom as he braced himself as he thrust into his counter while Suzy twirled the leather around her hand one more time as she moaned almost uncontrollably. “Slow d-down~” she breathed as she took a brief.

“Yes mistress...what do you need, baby?” he asked, interrupted by his own moan.

“I’m ready to cum..I-I want more cum. Touch me,~” Suzy panted as she tried to focus, feeling the buzzing of her body as Matt’s hand planted around and above her against the mirror, moves to caressing her face and pulling down to her jawline to pull her in for a sloppy and kiss before the girl brought her hand up to grab his two fingers and slides them in her mouth. The thought of how messy they looked, his hair draping over her and their excessive sweat making them sweaty as her pale skin is littered with hickies on her thighs, stomach and neck as the hunger for their release churns in them made her blurt a breathy chuckle as the sugary cream lingered on his fingers from earler. “Put those sweet fingers to work.”

Day 5: Dear Santa || Ray - AU

Dear Santa,

We got a problem. See this year was a bit hard. So yeah I got in a bit of trouble but I can explain.

So first I might have been there when my buddy Arin slipped all the way down the hall. And I might've spilled the water and soap that made him go a solid 20mph. But I didn't leave the staircase open so his leg being in a cast isn't at all my fault. So me getting his lunch for him is like community service.

And and I can't help that Jeremy got trapped in the fish tank at the aquarium. Yeah I dared him to go in and told him he would be the biggest scaredy cat if he didn't but the decision was all his. And I got him out within an hour plus he was only grounded for a week.

Lastly no matter what Rosie and Arkizyer say, the fail of the bake sale wasn't my fault. First of all they were bullies so it was Karma, second Danny was the one who had all his grandma's sleeping pills. How was I suppose to know they weren't sugar for all the cake batter? Anyway it was a fun community nap and the Emts said every one was fine.

So worth all that cleared up. I would like a PS4 for Christmas this year.

-Ray Jr.

Day 23: "Its Tradition" || The Theta Crew - The Ski Trip

Pjs family always went to the mountains for the Winter holiday. It was the same Resort year after year since they moved here. The parents found it and fell in love so they got a membership and now Pj knows it like the back of his hand. The resort was always real fancy and full of stuff to do. Pj used to spend hours doing all the activities it had to offer, he never noticed how his parents would basically disappear until the end refreshed and ready to go. But eventually he got bored, and complained about being alone. He didn't wasnt to go there anymore. "It's tradition." they'd just tell him.

That next year, his entire 6th grade class was invited to go with him. They loved it. There were endless amounts of food to eat. All types of games to play. They even got to ski and snowboard when ever they wanted. Plus the inside pool was heated so they could swim forever. Even the adult chaperones were impressed. No one wanted to leave.

Peej felt alot better with all of them around, though it didn't feel like a break if he was constantly in line for stuff. (How the resort handled it, he'll never know) So the next year he wanted something smaller. Peej had requested only a few tickets for Dan, Phil, and Charlie. They were the closest thing they had to home so he wanted them around as much as possible. That year was perfect.

Everyone else was of course disappointed. Some parents tried to find the resort to go themselves but it was exclusive, open to members only. And the money needed to buy a membership wasn't worth it. They talked with his parents and they explained that it was up to their son as they just needed playmates for him. No one could return without Pj it seemed. The next year, all of the Brits were going to England so he had extra tickets again. To everyone, they were golden tickets. He had alot of friends suddenly. Alot of people asking about his winter break. Alot of people telling about theirs. Sometimes he felt surrounded, wanting to shoo everyone away, but not having the courage to. He didnt know how to be mean.

In one of the classes, was a little girl who knew. She was never the nicest but she tried. She would say antyhing on her mind and no one could get in her way. It rubbed alot of kids the wrong way. She didnt have alot of friends which is probanly why she didnt speak anymore. He hadn't heard her talk all year. At the end of gym class, he went over to Shawna as she was flipping off someone and gave her an envelope. They stared at each other for a minute and Peej smirked then walked away.

In the lunchroom, he saw a little boy, he always had the biggest smile, and the biggest black hair. Him and Pj had a deal to trade chips. He'd get the British ones and hand over the American one. When Michael brought over his tray, Pj handed him the bag and an envelope. "I want you to come with me. I need my supply of chips." He said with a smile. Micheal nodded, smile as big as ever. "Its a deal."

Pj had his companions for the trip settled. People tried not to be jealous but everyone could tell something was different between them when they returned. There was an unspoken bond, but none would say a word about it. All they would talk about is the activities and food and how fancy it was. Shawna was even talking again. The weird thing was they continued on like before. Different friends groups, different classes, different circles, only speaking every now and then. If people didn't understand Peej then, they definitely wouldn't now.

The next year was high school. The gossip about the trip kept going around, talking a life of his own. There were upperclassmen mixed in with the people surrounding him now. They googled the resort and wanted in. Some wanted tickets as a sign of friendship between them. (Dan and Phil wouldn't stop being his friend over it but they were shocked they weren't invited) Most wanted the ticket to sell for money or favors.(Charlie wanted it to get back his new microscope that was stolen from him. Pj got it back and Charlie was happy to forfeit his place) Others wanted it to just gloat. (His relationship with Liz was rocky for a few weeks after that.)

He kept his same crew that year. That meant saying no to Shawna asking for extras or giving her own away. Micheal only wanted to bring his best friend Shane, and Peej rejected that too. It's weird how no one fought him about that, well Pj is weird so he didnt think twice.

His sophmore year, Michael moved away. He insisted the ticket go to Shane but Pj didn't take requests. Instead the was a brash boy who was always in detention across the hall from him and Shawna. He never failed to make them laugh or do something stupid. Pj bet him a ticket that he couldnt slide down the entire hall in one go. After a shitton of soap and two practice runs, Matt joined them on the trip. It surprised no one that they werent good influences on each other. The school branded them menaces after they got back, they were back to running in different circles but somehow found each other when mischief was needed. That kind of changed what the the trip seemed to be.

The hype of the ski trip simmered down. It was a myth at this point. Teens came and went, some believing some not. And Peej didn't seem like a snob. He was "mysterious and artsy and a badboy" though he never felt like it. He was just a nerd with a camera, some snarky words, a flirty disposition, and an addiction to pranks.

He tried to open up more. Connect with more people. Be social. He even found the cutest boyfriend in the world. It was good until November. Ethan asked for a ticket, having a list of people he wanted there and a list of people he didnt want there. Other people Peej got close to joked about the tickets but he could see the hint of seriousness. The Brit brushed it off. He intended to keep his same crew because at this point.... Its tradition. Nothing was going to change his mind.

Except for a new guy. He had gotten lost his entire first day. The boy was the happiest person Pj had ever met. The boy brought cookies to his first meeting to the "photography club"(It was a fake club Matt made on a dare. Peej and Shawna kept it going.) a few week later. Him and Peej had spoken maybe 30 words to each other in the past months but Pj was attached. One day in the hall he saw Thomas and invited him. Said he had a week research it, think about it, and decide.

Nobody could believe that happened. Despite that, they tried to convince him not to go. That it was for the bad kids. And they'd corrupt him. And shouldnt he be suspicious why Peej asked someone he didn't know. Ethan stopped talking to Pj but eventually forgave him when they planned a getaway of their own.

The day before school ended Thomas came up to Peej with a smile and a nod. Pj smirked and handed over the envelope. "Good. See you at New Year's." No one though Thomas could smile any brighter than the day he returned.

Day: 23 It's Tradition || Brit Boys - AU

Dan was the last to walk in. Well crawl in. He didn't remember the tunnel being so small. Then again he hadn't been that small is a few years. High school Dan was a bit wider than grade school Dan. He looked at his friends already huddled around. He wasn't sure where to get in but he set his laptop up and sat on Phil's side. Though he could feel the shakes from the sobs.

Pj looked at the pictures he hung around the small tree house. His new beautiful detailed pictures hung up next to his old faded ones. The same ideas of imaging the Uk. This was their slice of home once upon a time. A way to go back where their parents wouldn't take them anymore. Pj held his friend as he cried and the old brit kids movie played. How long had it been since he was in here or with them?

Phil wasn't sure what to say. A friend in turmoil on his left and a friend in discomfort on his right. Usually he would know what to say. He always knew what to say. But he wasn't the different one. The background that made him stick out among his peers, made him blend in here. Nothing he could say would be better than anything, anyone in here could also think of. He looked down at his care package of festive treats, untouched, mostly to add to the atmosphere anyway.

Charlie couldn't see in between tears. The whole room and everyone in it just fuzzy shapes now. He could forget how the wood was discolored but sturdy despite the years of absence. Or the leaves and crawlies that made this place home. Or how weathered every item left here was. It could be just like it was in grade school. He only blinked his delusional tears away when he heard the sounds of a familiar show. A laptop was playing it, there was candy on the floor beside him, the walls had new pictures of home, and he was surrounded by the same friends that had inspired its creation so long ago. It made a new round of tears start just imagining if things had never changed.

Dan wondered what it would be like if he had never stood his ground. Of course him arms Phil had gone to the same middle and high school. Finally being British made them popular, especially their outrageous stories. But he didn't to keep changing in the waves of trends like Phil. It was the biggest fight they had every had but it was coming anyway. He wished he hadn't called him a clueless airhead. But Dan and a few good friends did things their own way without Phil, made their own stories, and promised to keep only true friend close. Maybe that why when the local news story popped up on his phone he realized he might've left a few behind.

Phil couldn't honestly say who his real friends are. His life changed so much. Sto meant things interested him and he just went for it. He was in different clubs, and went to a lot of fun places. He always had people with him just as excited as him to explore. He meant to keep in touch with his friends but maybe he was running from the idea of missing home again. Or being stuck in something like Dan. Nothing wrong with thaat. He probably shouldn't had gvhd called him an emo want ta be. Life moves on. But somehow it stopped when he saw the news and the alert that went with it. It brought him here. He wondered why he was surprised that everyone looked differently.

Pj somehow knew that he had started this. He was the leader after all. He proposed and everybody went with it most of all. He left so he wasn't supposed that everyone else left. This place was built for them because they missed home so much so they made it here. A sweet gesture but only temporary relief. His own grief over losing his citizenship led him from group leader to head of a four person gang. How did he think that was a good way to get sent back to the UK. It only served to get him moved to a different school. He found art as a outlet but became the first to leave their group. It seemed everyone followed. Dan leaving to find something else to hold on to and Phil to explore everything America offered. And yet Charlie. Sweet loyal Charlie was left behind.

Charlie wasn't sure what he expected. He had always adjusted fine. Homesick was never a big worry since he made new friends just like him. He never thought twice about losing them. This treehouse was suppose to be proof. And yet. Pj left in middle school, and Dan and Phil went to a different high school. It was fine. He made a friend, found a new hobby and went as best as he could. But here he was. One bad situation went out of control, and all he could do was run. Just run. To a place he was sure no one would remember, a place no one could find, a place where he could be forgotten. It only took a few hours for Pj to find him, then Phil, then Dan, and yet it was all still crashing down. No one had said anything about making him leave so maybe while he was in here. Time rewound and everything was fine like it was in grade school. Charlie laughed though his crying at the thought. Nothing would ever be fine.

No one was sure what to make of their grieving friend. They just let him get it out. Just watched the show over the crazed laughing and crying. When Charlie had when numb for a few moments. Dan pulled some thing out of his backpack. Pj and Phil couldn't resist smiling. They were poppers. Like the ones they would always sneak in during the holidays. Dan somehow had a bookbag full of them.

"Are those?" Phil asked.

"Yeah." Dan confirmed.

"Dan for the win." Pj said looking in the bag. "Shall we pull some?"

"I mean we don't have to." Dan said trying not to force the mood.

"Yes. Let's. We've never been able tonresist. Its practically tradition at this point." Charlie said with his voice a little horse."

Nobody was going to argue with Charlie. So Pj offered the blonde one and they started pulling. Soon there was nothing but laughter to be heard. The boys stacking the paper crowns on their head as they ate the candy they won from their pulls. The laptop playing some Christmas music in an accent they recognized. For that moment it was like they had never been apart.

Day 4:  “No, I’m your present” || PewdieKat

Suzy wanted it to be perfect. Maybe she was trying too hard. But... something in her said it wasn’t enough. Maybe it was just her insecurities talking, or perhaps it was things whispered to her in the past, maybe they both went hand in  hand? Regardless, she wanted it to be perfect.  Her parents were going to be out of town for the night, until late evening the next day. The boys were staying at their buddies for a Friendsmas, and Ginger had decided to take the trip out with their folks. Now was the time. She had it all set up, her eyes wondering around the room, hands clasped together. A buzzbuzz came from her back jean pocket, the one with the tiny black heart scribbled on it with sharpie.  [Felix 🖤:] Sorry it took so long, I couldn’t find tape to wrap your present! But I’m heading down the street now, be literally there in a second. She shook her head with a soft chuckle, then let out a sigh. The room was dimly lit. The fairy lights she bought for ‘Holiday decorating’, at least that’s what she fibbed to her folks, did most of the illuminating. And the Christmas tree. It’s rainbow lights being a nice contrast with the yellow hues of the other strings. The fort wasn’t all that great. In fact it was pretty sloppy. All the sheets were of different textures and colors too. She held the structure of them with cheap tacks in the wall, and heavy chintzy knick-knacks her family collected.  Pillows scattered and piled in the center, two heavy comforters made a plush carpet for them to lay on, and of course Suzy’s favorite blankets waited for snuggles. It was perfect. Well. She hoped. Right as she was about to check her appearance in the reflection of their grandfather clock, there was a knock on the door. She cleared her throat and pressed down her bangs as she rushed to the door. There he was, tall, blonde, and fair. She smiled, flashing some teeth genuinely.  “Well hello there.” Felix looked back, his eyes traveling the girl before him. Beautiful cat eyes, those genes he loved dearly that she decorated with her own doodles during class, and the shirt he met her in-a gaphic tee of her favorite anime. He was heart eyes. “You are a sight for sore eyes.” he said in a awe.  His beautiful spooky princess. She blushed and shook her head in dismiss. “Come on in, silly!” she said and moved away.  As he came in, his blue eyes only went bigger though. Now she was the one watching him in awe. “Suze! This... This is... Wow.” he said and shook your head. “I can’t.... believe you went out of your way like this!” he said, pushing his hair back. She blushed deeper and rolled her eyes, “It was nothing!” she said, tucking a piece of loose hair behind her ear now.  “Oh! Here!” he said then grabbing out a small box and handing it her way. “I saw it and thought of you!” he said with a smile.  With that Suzy tore open the wrapping paper and then undid the silvery box. In laid a faux raven skull necklace, it was black, and matte, and had black lilies complimenting either side of it. “Oh Felix, it’s so pretty!” she gasped. “Just like you.” he said cheesily. “Put it on me?!” she asked, lifting her hair and turning her back to him, the box handed over her shoulder. Once it was on, all she could do was twirl it between her fingers, admiring it. They stood their silent for awhile. Her staring at the necklace. Him staring at her. Then she realized it was time. It was her turn. Her eyes met his now, her face redder than it ever could get. “Oh uh...” she said and let the necklace fall to her chest. “Heh.” she said, her arms going behind her back, very much like an anime girl. “So about that...” she said, looking now at the tree, at the blankets, at the fort. “Huh?” he asked, looking from her, to it, to her. It was time. It had been long enough.  “Oh! I know, you don’t have to explain, Suze!” he said, sitting down now into the blankets. “You went above and behind with this gift. I am so grateful.” he said with a smile and than patted the spot next to him, grabbing at the tv remote on the couch arm rest.  “Oh um... er... No. That’s not... Welll... N-No, I’m your present” she said and bit her lip, moving closer to him. His face tinted now. “Suzy?” he asked, his voice cracking just a little. She smiled and now bend down, crawling over to him. Her hands lifting and tangling into the back of his hair, pulling him into a kiss.

2 New Years Resolutions // Fairn

Finn didn't really know what to do with himself sometimes with how quiet the Greek court could get. Might as well go for a classic New Years resolutions and hit the gym. He couldn't do it as Rose though. He had to run the risk to go to the gym in basket ball shorts and a muscle top to be comfortable. He could do this, he could even cover himself if worse came to worse. He think about who was even left he really had to keep convinced.

Rosanna probably would never challenge Rose even if she read Jude's file front to back. Suzy was of not of interest, and the rest of alpha were old friends. Schlatt and Max were like two sides of the same coin, both knowing but both unbelievable if they tried to tell anyone else. Wilbur was blissfully indifferent, all other thetas were not of interest, most of them old dog. Same with almost all of Gamma, even the ones who knew like Matt and Ryan were not viable men of interests.

"Finn!" the shout snapped his brain out of it less like a trace and more like a rubber band, losing his focus on not just his thought spiral but the excirsize he had been doing. "Rest is over princess, let's go!" Arin taunts him, hitting him on the side of his arm with the target pads on his hands before holding them back up in front of him. "Jab!"

This is one of the reasons Finn had agreed to do this with Arin regularly. It demands his attention. Working out was a good way to do that, but especially with someone on his case if he lost focus. Arin was understanding about everything. Everything. He had been an ear to all the woes and in return, Finn let Arin teach him boxing. It worked great the first few times, but today whenever a rest happened Finn's brain took it as an opportunity to take stock of his situation.

Ethan. Ethan was the only one left who was truly being deceived, and prehaps the least deserving of it. Schlatt and Wilbur both know where they stood with him and still stuck around. Maybe Ethan would too... but he didn't want that with Ethan....

"Do you need to call it for today?" Arin asks before bitting the strap around his head and shaking the pad off his hand before getting the other normally. "You're head really isn't in it, I don't want you to get hurt."

"No! No please I just need- need like one thing to get me in the zone and I'll be good." He huffs and holds up his fists, shadow boxing at Arin. "Com'on then! Be a good coach!" Finn is playful with him, looking the other in the chest like they were eye to eye as he boxed since Arin had some height on him. Arin crosses his arms and looks down at Finn with pursed lips, thinking. "Wot?"

"Theres one thing... that always gets my attention when I'm out of during training... but it usually happen during sparing." He hums the a final realization hits him then shakes his head. "Nah, I cant do that to you."

"No cone on! What is it? At least tell me."

"If I tell you I don't think it work the same."

"Then just do it."

"If you lose focus again." He agreed with the idea that some looming threat would keep Finn in focus. Finn may have considered at some point that it was a threat, but he was so curious he forgot to be scared. Maybe that was why when Finn lost his place in combination because he was thinking about his last date with Ethan, Arin smacked him across the face.

"Fuck!" The sound followed by Finn's yelp ricochet through the gym and a silece fills the air. The sting slowly set in and Finn's heart raced. As he looked back to Arin, his breathing is faster, wrapped hand over the spot the other man struck. "Holy shit..." He huffed out.

"I told you! Geez and biscuits fuck! I didn't want to punch you like you'd get in sparing, I thought that wouldn't be as bad!"

"I think a punch would have been much worse." Finn says though a few more pants, feeling the initial fear subside and settling back into his body. He had imagined a guy here would hit him one day, but it was the worst case scenario whenever he played it out. Now here Arin was, just after smacking him, groveling, trying to look small, and Finn couldn't bother to even but annoyed. "That was good."

"What?!"

"No yeah, you should definitely do that when I slip up. It will-" his throat is rather dry feeling suddenly and he tries to swallow to alleviate it "It will keep me in the moment and my head clear and- and- and I'm so hard riggt now." He blurts out, hands quickly going over his mouth and looking up in horror.

"Uh... scuse me?" Arin blinked at him a fee times and his eyes scan the room quickly.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Finn turns and tries to find his things to running out of there but his head was so scrambled he couldn’t even see it when he looked around the room. "I'll leave I just- if I had my bag I-"

"Get it together, princess!" Arin barks at him, successfully pulling his attention back. Arin gives a much lighter and playful smack to the same cheek. Finn turns his head with it and let's out a whimper. "I didn't know you were cool like that." He chuckles, even as Finn looks at him with stary eyes. "You okay? Too far?"

"You wanna make out in the locker room?"

"The locker room?"

"You want to do it here?" Finn asks biting his lip and looking the other man over. Arin face gets rosey and he has to take a steadying breath.

"Hit the showers! Great job out there today!" he rushes out, throwing a giggling Finn over his shoulder and striking him on the ass as he rushed hulled him to on of the changing rooms.

Advent day 24: Christmas Eve // slice Eg0bang

"I miss you..." Arin says gazing at the screen intently, Danny's head peeking up form his phone and smiling into his web cam sleepily.

"I miss you too, man." He says, eyes dropping to look at Arin on the screen. "You have any plans tonight? Tomorrow? I know you didn't get to go home but I heard that you all are allowed to mingle again." He notes and his eyes fall father back to his phone.

"Well it's already like 10 here so..." he notes and Danny looks a bit surprised when he realizes the time on his end. "Not much planned..."

"Wow it's getting late huh... do you want to call it a night?" He asks and Arin's stomach drops as he nods. Of course he didn't want to.

"No, yeah! We can talk tomorrow... we can talk tomorrow right?" Arin asks once again just to make sure the pla. Was agreed on.

"Yeah man! I'm sure you'll get into something by then but if you have some time I can slide on for a while... just no naughty stuff! It would be kinda wierd... unless its naughty or nice stuff." He adds with a big over dramatic wink. Arin laughs even though he is dreading hanging up. They say their goodnight an one more story to eachother, then another round of goodnights, Danny yawning through a lot of his words.

"I love you..." Arin says with his stomach in a knot bit a soft smile on his face that was returned to him twice as stong.

"I love you too. Merry Christmas, Arin."

"Merry Christmas eve, Dan."

Advent day 21: Holiday Away // future au

Sylvin huffed about it and Reiner tried to talk them out of it, but the rest of the family seemed so excited for the island Christmas get away. When they saw the resort they both came around, running off to clubs and young adult even with the twins. Altair and Vega had always been on board for the Christmas in the tropics, especially since they had found out the drinking age on the island was 18 and they were just squeaking in to getting to have as much fun as the eldest.

Camilla wasn't happy once she raised this. At home her older twin brothers were still "at the kids table" with her so to speak but now they were off like the other big kids. Rosanna and Mark planned for this by inviting Ethan to spend the holiday with them, and with him came his spawn.

"Camilaaaa!" Frankenstein yelled when they saw her come down to breakfast the first morning. They already had a flower necklace placed on them and a plate full of food from the buffet. She gives a small bashful wave back before going to get her own food then going to where their families sat she naturally goes to sit with her siblings at a table all together but they are already talking excitedly about stuff she couldn't do and taking up their whole table. She frowns but then looks to the sound of snacking on a seat beside them. It was Frankenstein again, scooting further into the booth their parents sat at and welcoming her to sit with them. She sighs with a soft smile as she joins.

"Morning, Doctor." She says staring to pick at her food as the other fourteen year old lays a map out infront of her with several spot circled and notes writen all over it.

"Me and my monster stayed up last night making a perfect plan for us to have the ultimate island adventure today before the family activities tomorrow!" They says proudly and start to explain the timing and locations of all they would do and how some of the stuff technically wasn't 'offered by the resort' but there wouldn't be a problem if they weren't caught.

She starts to feel as little more better with each passing explanation and plan presented to her. So her siblings were lame old people now, she got to hang with the mad scientist. They could go down cocktails out of pineapples if that what they wanted to do, but when they were throwing up the next morning from over doing it Frankenstine and her were off to sunrise zipline appointment. It was way more fun to her.

Hey, it’s Andrew. 

I know I’m the last person you want a Christmas card from, but I was really looking forward to you coming home this year. You probably still wish me dead for putting you where you are now. Maybe you don’t. I don’t know. Listen, I’m writing this to you for a reason. I miss you. It’s been so long and I’ve grown so much and seen so much and didn’t love enough. That’s what I’ve been learning. I’ve been hurting more than I’ve been loving.

And I know I’ve come to you before about making it work and making it worth your while before. And I hurt you more than ever. You were patient with me. You loved me. You loved hard, consistent, and unconditionally. It was an internal beauty that only existed in one woman. And that woman was a girl.She’s still a girl. She never grew up. No matter who I found to replace her, no matter who I told was never going to be her. No matter how many times I pulled away indifferent and unsatisfied. My attitude wasn’t going to bring her back. Me wishing she hadn’t died wasn’t going to bring her back. It wasn’t my fault. And I certainly shouldn’t have told you it was yours.

I shouldn’t have abused you and broken you. I shouldn’t have turned your family against you. 

I’m sorry. 

I realize I’m still chasing girls and pushing my demons by asking you to come home. I promise it’s better. I promise that I’m better. Not a day goes by that I don’t watch your videos or your streams just to see you smile. Knowing that you smile anyway. Knowing that you now smile because you found another reason to smile. Knowing you found a reason to smile that had long since hadn’t been me.

I hope you’re being loved and having a warm holiday. I’m going to jail. I guess I wanted to see the last woman who I never loved before I get to see the one who I thought I could never replace.

Take Care and Happy Holidays

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arin, 

I’m the last person I know you’d want to hear from. Things had been...weird..between us. I want to say that I’m sorry. I really do want to apologize.

This isn’t something you have to believe me about, but hear- well, read- me out. 

Once upon a time, someone hurt me so badly and it put me here. They were beat up inside about themselves missing someone they weren’t allowed to see. Something they wished they could change. They were very matter-of-fact about it. As if to make it real, but it just hurt. 

I don’t know why you gave me control and I don’t know who that person was that made you the way that you are on the inside, but I want to thank you for being vulnerable enough with me to show me. I was too sick to know what to do with it, and too sick to be an adult about it. I had fooled myself into thinking I had it all figured out, that was all the way put back together. I had all the things that kept me steady and grounded. It was PJ. 

I realize now I shouldn’t put my faith or my beliefs on things that are essentially out of my control and that was the wakeup call I got. My days of being wonton and careless- living in this world as though nothing was going to touch me and that everything was going to be alright no matter what- vanished right before my eyes. I managed, but I just remember how you just wanted to be there with me to escape that person running around in your head, living rent-free, as Dr. Dee calls it. 

I miss those times and I miss those moments and I would do everything to get them back.

Take Care and Wish You Well

Shawna
