[mbm-artist]

Have you ever felt a love that you couldn't quite describe, no matter how hard you try?

~~~

Meet Scarf and Muff! These two are whatever you interpret them to be.

The only things that can be considered fact are:

1. They love each other, deeply

2. They're bonded for life, through thick and thin, no matter what

3. They're around the same age, even if ageless

4. They are equals on all fronts

5. Their matching scarf and ear muffs are always the same shade of blue

You can apply whatever characteristics you like to them, they are vessels that I am sharing with the world. Their intended purpose is to show love in all its forms, and just how different our perception of it can be. They can have any names, be any species, be any gender, any orientation (whether it be romantic or otherwise), straight or queer, familial or not, any identity you can imagine can apply to them. And I mean any identity. Same goes with color scheme, their colors are whatever you imagine that they are (with the exception of Fact #5).

* Note: The only hard rules I am implementing are

1. Please don't sexualize them, not only am I a minor but that is not really what they are meant to embody.

2. I'd prefer if you didn't depict them in a violent setting, such as attacking each other or others. Just a matter of personal preference.

3. Don't depict them in immoral ways (engaging in pedophilia, noncon, incest, etc.), for what should be obvious reasons.

(Somehow if this gets popular and people do it anyway [I doubt it though] please don't use any of the BSS specific tags on this post and tag it appropriately at the VERY least, nobody really wants to see that.)

Aside from all of that, have fun!

Picture Perfect

I’m back lovelies! This little piece is for the AU challenge hosted by @moxleysbaby and I’m going to have the tag list down below. If you want to be added, please drop by my inbox. Enjoy the fluffy goodness!

Today you had a very important photo shoot. It wasn’t just to help your blossoming career as a model, but to also help your long-time boyfriend with building up his portfolio. You had promised him a nice walk out on the nearby nature trail and he’d take pictures of you as you walked around and enjoyed the world around you.

“Thank you for agreeing to do this for me, babe,” Seth smiled as he got his camera set up for our impromptu shoot, “You didn’t have to do this for me, but I appreciate it all the same.”

“I’d do anything for you, Seth,” you replied as you hooked your arm with his, “You’ve helped me get my face out there and it’s only fair I do the same for you and your eye for such amazing shots.”

“I just point and shoot at what calls to me,” he replied humbly, “My pictures speak for themselves.”

You kissed his cheek lovingly before you took off ahead of him down the path. Seth had asked you to wear your black leather moto jacket, a nice light sweater, a pair of warm black leggings, and your dark brown riding boots for the shoot. You added in your favorite beanie of his and a nice scarf to complete the look. After all, it was autumn and the air had gotten chilly in Iowa in the last couple months.

“Can I just say you look great, babe,” Seth commented after he shot a couple pics of me leaning against the railing of a foot bridge, “The light coming through the trees looks heavenly on you.”

“Thanks babe,” you replied as you walked backwards along the path, your hands locked behind your back, “I can always count on you to make sure the lighting is hitting me just right.”

“You can thank the trees before me, sweetheart,” Seth smirked, “But I admire that you enjoy my work.”

“Of course I do,” you giggled a little, “That’s how we ended up getting together.”

You and Seth met way back when you were first starting to model. Seth was a photographer green behind his ears when he landed a job shooting for the job you were hired to model for. You caught his eye and he caught yours the moment you walked out onto the set of the shoot. He hit you up for coffee after the shoot was done and he had you hooked ever since.

But today was going to be extra special. Ever since you got with Seth, you knew he was the one for you. You wanted to be with him and only him for the rest of your days. You wanted to marry him, have a couple kids, and maybe a few dogs with him. You wanted the simple life with him and retire from modeling just to spend all your days with him. He was the end of the line for you. Your ride or die.

“You’re deep in thought, Seth,” you pointed out as you both had stopped by a boulder to rest for a moment.

“I was just thinking of us,” he replied, “And I have something I’ve been meaning to ask you.”

“Go ahead,” you insisted, lending him your ear.

“Marry me,” he got down on one knee and pulled out an engagement ring from his camera bag, “Make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else.”

“Yes,” you replied as happy tears brimmed in your eyes, “A thousand times yes.”

“I love you,” he scooped you up into his arms and kissed you hard. He then took the ring and slid it onto your finger, and you began to admire it lovingly.

“I love you too,” you smiled at him as you stroked his beard gently, “So I’ve been thinking about my modeling career. I’m more than willing to retire so we can have a family together. Especially now that I’m about to marry you. I don’t want another man to ever take my picture. I want your camera to be the only one to capture my likeness from now on.”

“If that’s what you want I support you 100%,” he replied, “I will never ask you to give this all up just for me. And I promise that as a loving husband I will give you the best life I can. I promise you that above all else.”

“Enough talk of our future,” you got into a nice pose to show off your new ring, “let’s enjoy our engagement and get some pictures of this beautiful ring so we can share it with our friends and families.”

“As you wish,” Seth smirked and began to snap picture after picture of you showing off your ring.

Sun / Sol Masterpost

! DISCLAIMER: The following informationc are may wrong. If you see any misinformations, let me know, but not in the harsh way please! The links where the infromations (mainly) are from, are at the bottom. There are everything assosiated with the sun, use, what is helpful !

Note: i’m starting to post things like this. Mainly about astronomy, green witchery, kitchen witchcraft, zodiacs and more. If you are intrested or it was helpful please let me know!

Probably the most popular of the planetary influences for the general population, Sun rules over prosperity and general protection. Choose Sun plants when you are looking for centering, doing money magic, or honoring aspects of the divine that are sun-associated. Sun plants often have sun-shaped flowers (daisies, for instance) or when ingested give a feeling of calm warmth (unlike the heating of Mars, which can lead to violent action).

Higher Self is the crystallization of a transcendental awareness that is a Fulcrum of Equilibrium of the Force-Form dynamics between Jupiterian grace and expanse and Martial tempering and rigor. Emanative from the Nondual and Eternal: Source Consciousness, Solar Self does experience duality yet is a Throne of Stability from which the Lunar personality can be forged and directed and from which suffering is mitigated through understanding some of the roots of attachment that give rise to Lunar mechanicity. But the Solar Fulcrum is dual-toroidal: from which causally antecedent Form-Form dynamics are expressed and through which the Force-Form dynamics of Venusian impulsivity and Mercurial patterning (the Lunar personality and, ultimately, physicality) are integrated and processed. Waiting to be explored are the astrophysical implications of Solar Self, the Sun in our Solar System, and their relationship to the collective consciousness of humanity.

Protection, prosperity

Sun phases: 

Just like the moon, the sun has phases which can be used to tie in with your magical workings to add an extra boost of power.  The sun measures time, where it sits in the sky denotes what time of the day it is, and a sun dial would be quite useless without the sun to cast a shadow!  I also think that point between night and day and vice versa, that moment of hand over is quite special.

Sunrise – Basically when the sun wakes up and peers over the horizon.  This phase is all about new beginnings, changes, health, employment, renewal, resurrection and finding the right direction. It can also be very cleansing. The morning – This is when the sun is growing in strength, so it brings the magical power for growth, positive energy, resolutions, courage, harmony, happiness, strength, activity, building projects and plans, prosperity and expansion of ideas. High noon – When the sun reaches its peak in the sky at midday – work magic for health, physical energy, wisdom and knowledge. It is also a good time to pop your tools or crystals out that need charging.  (Note: some crystals can fade in strong sunlight so check first before putting them out). The afternoon – The sun is heading back down, and the energy now is good for working on business matters, communication, clarity, travel, exploring and anything professional. Sunset – As the sun takes itself off down below the horizon, work magic for removing depression, stress and confusion, letting go, releasing or finding out the truth of a situation.

Sun altar:

I always say that an altar is very personal, it has to be for you to be able to connect with the energy. You will know what needs to be put on your altar.  If you aren’t sure then start with a guide or suggestions from others (books, friends, internet etc) but keep it simple and then live with it for a bit.  You will find that you are drawn to add other items to it. My suggestions for a sun altar, you don’t have to use all or even any of these, in fact if you put everything listed on there it would be pretty crowded, sometimes less is more. Any spells you are working on can be popped on your sun altar to give them a boost of solar energy. Altar cloth; which could be a head scarf, a table cloth, napkin or bandana, it doesn’t have to be an expensive item.  I like to use yellow and orange colours. Sun symbols – well that’s a given really, you can get all sorts of items, ornaments and bric a brac in sun shapes. Flowers – fresh, dried or imitation, go for sunny yellows, oranges and reds but any bright flowers will sit nicely. Fruit – oranges and lemons look fabulous on an altar, you could even dry some slices to decorate with. Crystals – go with whatever you are drawn to but if you need some guidance there is a list of sun crystals in this book. Candles – there probably aren’t many altars that don’t have candles on!  Go with sunny or fiery colours.

other things:

Flame symbols to represent fire. Triskelion or phoenix images. Coloured ribbons. Circles and discs in yellow, brass, copper or gold colours. Equal armed crosses or the swastika. God’s eyes (see craft section on how to make one) Oak leaves and any fresh greenery. The Sun or Chariot tarot card. Antlers and horns work well to bring in the masculine energy of the sun. A wand, again for the masculine energy. Flower wreaths, I often use my flower circlets on an altar. Bees – not real ones obviously, how would you stop them from buzzing about? Honey – a little dish or pot full. If you are working with a solstice or equinox you can add in symbols and correspondences that tie in with the energy of the season.

Fire of sun

deities: bel, horus, demeter borne by lion, vishnu zodiac: leo stones: amber, topaz, ruby, diamnd, cat’s eye plants: Calamus root (seed, herb, essential oil), Cowslip, Hops, Marigold, Mexican Marigold, Mistletoe, Pericon, Sunflower, Yauhtli colors: gold, red, yellow, orange, greenish yellow, reddish amber, gray, deep purple day: Sunday plant qualities: Radiant, strong, and enriching plants.

"You're an idiot, Dunne.” I said, coming down from the box on which I sat beside him.

He was looking at me with mockery, and not even my apparent annoyance would change that. I stood in front of him, crossing my arms. "What's the point of this, anyway?"

“What are you talking about?”

"Do not pretend, Dunne! I'm talking about your much-touted promo, belittling Tyler.”

"That's the role of a heel, isn’t it?" He frowned. "I didn’t see anything much in what I said”

"It's okay that you're heel, but you didn’t have to exaggerate ..." I pursed my lips in annoyance, then snorted at the realization that he wouldn’t listen. "He is your friend, if not your best friend."

He laughed very briefly, shrugging with a grimace that made his neck throb. I knew the meaning of it; he would soon try to escape the subject. “So on. Now, let's face it, ya owe me a commemoration for my conquest.”

I rolled my eyes. "I owe you nothing."

"Yep ..." His left hand was already resting on my waist, sliding to the butt. I took it off with a cover.

“Not into it.” I said firmly, watching him move one hand over the other to ease the lid.

"I can make ya change your mind ..." I felt his touch again. Before I could push him away, he pulled me against him. His legs held me and his right hand just above my butt prevented me from leaving.

"Pete-", I pronounced his name as a warning to let me go. We were backstage, the NXT recordings rolled out. Anyone who passed by here, even if it was a half-hidden area, could see us ... And receive a Regal rubbish was not in my plans. But Pete did not seem to care much; especially as his lips moved closer and I felt his breath on my neck. “I’m serious...” I held a sigh, trying to hold myself.

"I'm serious, too.” He grunted, just before tooking my neck with a kiss followed by not very soft bites. "This will leave a mark", I thought, biting my lower lip at every sensation that made it harder to resist. I had to push him away ... Quick.

“Stop!” I put my hand against his chest, pulling him away from me, receiving in return a questioning look from one who didn’t know what he had done wrong.

He looked at me in a mixture of confusion and a slight spark of irritation, I could already discern this by the time of coexistence. His blue irises were darker than usual, accompanied by a slight twist in his upper lip, which revealed his probable thoughts as he looked at me.

Pete had never been out of many words, leaving everything to his facial expressions. In time, I learned to read them. "No", I said again, realizing that he would keep silent. "If you did not notice; we're in the corridor of an arena, my match is soon ... Need more reasons?!”

“... You talk too much.” He said after a while and, before I could fight back, I was even closer to his body and with his lips sealed in mine, in search of a kiss that I wasn’t late to correspond.

Addiction. I liked that savagery of his kiss, I liked the bites, I liked how he always seemed more eager for me as he ran his hands over my body. I didn’t need to look to know where he was playing, I already felt it and allowed it. One certainty: I was not thinking straight.

How long was I without him? I think from the eve of his fight against Tyler for the United Kingdom Championship. Enough to miss, while part of me vehemently repressed the fact that I wanted him. So far, this part was losing by a nice disadvantage; greater than the sum of my fingers.

One of his hands was on the back of my head while the other felt my butt on the verge of squeezing it. I had grabbed part of his shirt at a time and pulled him close to me, while the kiss alternated between savagery and brief pauses to catch breath. I knew he’d find a way to get us out of here so we could go somewhere else. The locker room, maybe.

"What do you think you're doing, Dunne?!?!” Regal's voice was scare enough for me to shove Pete and get rid of his grip, breathing unevenly and nervously.

“Kissing. Can’t you see!?” I should have foreseen it. The arrival of Regal, Dunne's runaway reply, and I staring at the floor, so nervous and embarrassed. I didn’t have to look at them to know the tension between; they never got along, this would be just one more episode added to the list.

"Get out, Dunne.” Regal snorted, but made a point of not showing all his anger. Maybe because I'm involved in the situation.

I lifted my gaze a bit to see the exit from the Bruiserweight, watched by Regal at every step, which did not make it impossible for him to make certain motions with his jaw as he grunted. Despite that, I still recognized sarcasm in his own way. He never gave a damn, I did.

“(Y/N).” I heard my name being uttered by the only remaining english man, forcing me to look up and swallow. I was expecting the worst. "Your fight is in five minutes, go.”

I nodded, not giving myself much chance to look at him or hesitate, and went on to fight. I know it’d be nice to apologize later, but now wasn’t the time for that. Regal was impatient; I was nervous; and Pete ... He probably didn’t even care.

{...}

"How long does a girl take to change her clothes?" The question was shouted from outside the small locker room where I was arranging some last details of my hair before leaving.

“Quite so!” I replied, rolling my eyes, but with a certain laugh on my lips.

“Oh come on, (Y/N)! It's just a little confraternization, you don’t have to pack up so much ...”

“I know ... But anyway!” I said, looking at myself in the mirror and noticing something I had missed: the marks on my neck. I clenched my lips, trying to think of some way to disguise them.

The makeup was lighter than the skin tone of the area so it would have no effect; My top much less. The way would be putting on a jacket, a scarf maybe (luckily, it was cold outside), and hope nobody notice. I sighed, looking at the reflection in the mirror and reminding myself of every detail. He would be at the party, that is, "confraternization". Who knows the possibilities ... “(Y/N), if ya don’t answer me, I'll think ya died in there!” I’d been so distracted that I probably had ignored some of Tyler's lines. Enough to make the blonde agonize.

I left the dressing room without further ado thanks to that, finding Bate all dressed up in a white social shirt tucked into the navy blue linen trousers; I was duly impressed and made sure to express it, making faces. “Wow! And you still tell me it's a ‘little confraternization’ ", I paraphrased him, putting a hand on my waist as I watch him laugh as if my astonishment were an exaggeration.

"Don’t come with that, look at yourself!" He motioned to me. "It looks like you’re coming out of a fashion show.”

I rolled my eyes, feigning disgust. “Fashion show? Okay, if that's the case, I won’t go.” I crossed my arms, beak; enough for him to pull one of them, undoing the act, and bring me close with a laughter sketched on the lips.

"I just meant ya look more beautiful than ya should."

“Hmm ... I don’t know! I'm not convinced.”

"Please", he said. Just to see, I already suspected what lay ahead; he would try to convince me in every way to go. Not that it was difficult, in fact, I would go even if I had been irritated. It was a "pre-trip" farewell and losing it was not part of the plans. "Ya know I said that ‘cause I'm ashamed to go out with someone as beautiful as ya!"

Needless to say, after such compliment, any resistance of mine went down the drain and a certain blush washed over my face. I stared at him in surprise until he laughed and extended my arm to accompany him. I frowned at that and watched him withered with an impatient expression. "I swear if you don’t accept, I'll pull you out."

My turn to burst into laughter and finally hold onto his arm. Nothing strange, after all, Tyler sometimes came up with these strange ideas and I, as a good sister, was forced to compact. To the others, we probably looked like idiots; for me, we were just happy on this point ... Even if, internally, I didn’t have such happiness.

{...}

“It means that our little girl is going to spend three weeks without us... !” Trent practically screamed, already a little affected by the drink apparently.

“Hey! Little girl, no!” I complained, pouting as he hugged me by the shoulders, bringing me closer. He, in turn, only laugh and motivate the other two to laugh too.

Despite that, I was amused by the situation as well. Oh really. I could hardly imagine how my weeks would be without the presence of these three english men, and thinking that I could hardly go with them. Reason? At the last moment, WWE chose to take only its main female wrestlers ... Yeah, I sure was a nothing in the company. I was expecting a chance at the Mae Young Classic, honestly.

"How do I stand you, eh?" I asked, being squeezed further by Trent while Pete was practically lying in the upholstered seat and Ty was singing, out of tune, the music that reverberated through the room.

"We are irresistible", Seven was the first to respond, looking at me as if this were obvious; without taking a certain giggle out of his face, of course.

"Badass", Pete added, forcing a short mocking laugh as Trent straightened his mustache as usual.

“All of the best, overall.” It was Tyler's turn to sum up, stopping singing to stare at me with a lightly tossed smile.

"And we can’t forget that you love us.” Pete got the dose, more and more mocking and stunned to look at me; enough for me to roll my eyes and go out of Trent's embrace, crossing my arms against the far corner of the couch.

Even Dunne straightened to look at me, next to the other two, wondering mentally what had hit me. I sounded annoyed but, internally, it was just strange that this was enough to catch the attention of the three. Apparently, they worried about the possibility of irritating me. I ended up giving up the annoyance, relaxing my muscles and laughing, I don’t know if by commotion or pity. Worst choice.

"You should have seen your face, you seemed to have seen a ghost!" I said, laughing, then infecting the three newly frightened.

"Never give me such a scare again, okay?" Tyler said, then came over to place a light kiss on my temple. I smiled sheepishly at this, seeing with the corner of my eyes as Pete rolled his eyes.

After all, I never understood why my closeness to Tyler always bothered him. Part of me wanted to believe that this revealed any kind of feeling, but reality warned otherwise. Before I began to ramble or lose my gaze on him, I shook my head and focused on something else. "I don’t know how you can stand me", I said, still looking at the blond with greenish-brown eyes.

Before anyone else, Pete took the lead in responding. "Simple, you're hot.” He snapped, making me frown and look at him, just like Ty and Trent. “What's it? Did I lie, by any chance?” He asked, strangely.

Seven shook his head in disapproval, Bate shot him without apology; while I, in turn, just got up and left. "Where are ya going, baby?" I heard the latter ask behind me as I walked away from the bar.

“Get a drink.” I snapped, snorting. My best friend didn’t deserve this, I know, neither he nor Trent; but I was far from being able to take another second near that ...

I didn’t want to look at him. I didn’t want to see Pete Dunne's face, probably questioning others what got into me. “Spare me ...!” I growled, clenching my teeth. Yes, I was angry; but most of all, I was disappointed. I never expected too much from him. Really. But knowing that the reason for him to “stand me" was just because I was hot... That was the crux! My mind confusion wanted to make me cry, although giving him such a "taste" was out of question.

I leaned against the bar counter, breathing deeply to contain any stubborn tears as I watched the room. Everyone was having fun, apparently, but me. I could no longer see the three english men. It was better that way, though deep down I still wanted some of them to come after me. "He, preferably", I completed it mentally, knowing that this would not happen.

But perhaps foreseeing that I expect someone to come, Tyler appeared. I forced a small corner smile as I watched him, noting him doing the same as he approached. "Did you order your drink?" He asked, knowing the answer.

"You know I don’t." I said, turning to face him.

"I know, but ya must admit this was a great way to break the ice!" He said, making me laugh a little.

"Goof!" - “It was not!” I rolled my eyes.

"But you laughed." He put a finger to my cheek, laughing my way. I undid my beak, feeling obligated to this, still not giving up. “Come on, (Y/N), admit it...”

I sighed. “Okay, you win.” I said, finally making him give a little smile that soon vanished after all I was not in my normal mood. He remained silent because of that, I had no idea why but I let the silence reign until I noticed his eyes on me. "Why did you come here?"

“I came to see how you were.”

“And... ?” I forced him to speak.

"And convince you to come back".  "I knew!" I thought, giving a very forced laugh and shaking my head. I wouldn’t go back.

"I'm sorry, but you know I won’t.” I said, turning my back to Ty before I felt him grip my wrist.

“Please...”

"No." I fixed my gaze on his so he would understand.

“Please, (Y/N).” He didn’t let go of my wrist even though I forced it. "Trent and I already gave a fine moral lesson to that asshole ... He’ll even apologize!”

I paused for a moment, seriously considering if I should go back. Dunne never apologizes, this was a unique opportunity. I had to see it, taste what it is like to have someone like Pete Dunne apologizing to me. " Seriously ..." Tyler tightened, releasing my wrist slowly as he held me in front of him.

"Is he really going to apologize?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"He will, otherwise Trent and I will beat him until he does."

I laughed, dismissing the possibility. “Don’t exaggerate!”

"Don’t doubt me, I'm quite capable of killing him."

"I know, but you don’t have to.

"For ya, I do." I blushed, watching him smile affectionately as he adjusted the collar of my jacket with one hand. This had always been his normal but for the moment, it only made the redness on my face worse.

I don’t know why but his gesture only made me more nervous. There was something different about him ... As he straightened up my jacket, the part of my neck where Pete's mark lay was discovered. I knew he had seen it, and I was even more sure when the tip of his fingers brushed it lightly. I looked for a way to explain myself. “I...”

“You don’t have to explain.” He interrupted me, forcing a corner smile which I had no doubt about the falseness. There was a certain annoyance in his gaze, it was easy to notice, so much so that he soon tried to cover the mark with the collar of his jacket. "I think I know why ya came with this jacket now", he tried to laugh, but the reality was already explicit.

"Ty, I ..." I tried to explain again, I could not. Honestly, it would be better if he understood my lack of words.

"It's all right, don’t worry.” The forced smile continued on his lips, but I could not blame him, he was trying to reassure me.

I felt the tip of his fingers on my cheek, giving a faint affection. I forced myself to watch, holding up his gaze that was strangest. "Did I mention that ya look beautiful?" He asked, not ceasing his caress.

"Yep, but I think you can say it again." I forced a chuckle. On the bright side, he had made him laugh too; on the bad side, the situation made me uncomfortable.

The exchange of looks, the affection on my cheek, his way ... At the moment, it did not seem to be who I considered as brother. Ahead was a well-known stranger whose gaze hung over my lips. "I'm sorry ..." I heard him mutter. And before I could say anything, he joined our lips.

I didn’t know what to do. One of his hands kept on my face as the other slowly tried to rest on my waist to join our bodies. At first, he was incapable of sketching a reaction; but soon I fell into the real. Kissing who I considered as brother ?! Never. Thinking like that, I tried to push him away. “What...”

“I’m sorry.” He interrupted me once more, taking his hand from my face and moving further away. His face was filled with confusion, and mine was certainly worse.

"Why did you-" I tried to stammer, watching him run his hand over his face in some kind of regret. “You don’t...”

"I know." His gaze revealed confusion, guilt perhaps, and something else I could not distinguish. “I wasn’t thinking straight.”

I frowned, not understanding. "Tyler ..." I sighed. "... Tyler, are you drunk?"

The question was a thump to him. I could see when his eyes opened and they blinked repeatedly, in surprise, while his mouth twitched and his face assumed a feature of ... Grief ?! Seeing this, I soon tried to explain myself. "I mean, I do not ..."

"No, you're right.” He said, unable to disguise the hurt in his tone. I should never have asked that question. "I'm not thinking straight, it must be drink effect."

I bit my lower lip, worried. It hurt me to see him like this, mostly because I knew I had some of the blame. “Tyler... I'm sorry, I ...”

"You're right, I told ya.” Maybe it was my impression but it sounded harsh. "It's my fault, (Y/N).”

I didn’t open my mouth after that. I could no longer look at him, and the images of his wounded features hammered my mind with guilt. I had experienced such a reaction, but what mattered to me now was the possibility of hurting my best friend. "Let's go back." He cut off the silence, making me look up at him and see that he wasn’t looking at me anymore. The cluster for my sadness.

Without a word, I followed him to where Trent and Pete were. Seven was the first to be surprised by the mood between us, addressing me with a silent question. "What happened between you two?" I’d like to be able to answer this question but, like the proper idiot I was, I just kept quiet and avoided any looks. Dunne didn’t seem to care. I don’t know if I should be grateful for it, or simply regret my insignificance.

The rest of the party went on as it should. I force myself laughing and drinking one dose at a time, Tyler doing almost the same, Trent still intrigued by our strangement but disguising it, and Pete ... Being Pete as always. Carefree, debauched and silent when he wanted to. After all, he didn’t apologize as promised and I made a point of charging it.

Near three in the morning, it was farewell hour. They made a point of leaving me in my apartment, which allowed some last moments with the three of them. The first to say goodbye, with a hug, was Tyler; a gesture full of coldness and quite different from what I was accustomed to. Pete also hugged me, entitled to the silly hand next to my butt and, surprisingly, an apology for the situation before.

I could be content and consider the night, in parts, as well finished. But Trent had the dislike of whispering in my ear that he knew why Tyler and I were like that as he held me in his arms. I left him with a perfect poker face. I didn’t see the three of them go away, I rushed up to my floor on the excuse of being very tired. The most ragged possible but who cared?

I locked the door behind me as soon as I arrived, breathing uneasily as I dragged my body into the bedroom, throwing myself on the bed. Tears ran down my cheeks. I was crying. Why?

Why was I such an idiot?

Why did Tyler act like that?

Why didn’t I want to admit that I liked the kiss?

Why, even in those hours, didn’t Pete leave my thoughts?

I don’t know, I'd probably only have the answer in three weeks. Only one thing I knew for sure: I had just lost my best friend/brother.

I sincerely hope you like it. Please let me know if you have any critics or just a opinion.
