Scott felt the wind against his face, his body recoiling from the flash of light that struck the earth as the riders took off. Taking with them their latest member. He had been a fool, a man desperately grasping for power and control. A means to a life so drenched in blood and death. Despite the rage and hatred, Scott felt towards the man, there was the ever persistent sense of compassion and sorrow. Two emotions that gnawed at him, quietening his more animalistic sense of rage. The glow from his eyes flared, twinkling across the dark night as his gaze drifted towards Theo. 

It was all so familiar. He hated the man, loathed him, wanted nothing more than to sink his claws into his gut and his teeth into his neck and crush and pull. But as their eyes meant, the alpha felt his heart skip, his breath hitched, catching in his throat, caught behind a low needy whimper. Malia and Peter had already taken off, walking away in awkward silence with Stiles close behind.

Behind the bloody glow of his eyes, Scott’s expression is one of longing, of lust. Barely contained, barely hidden. Theo is the first to move, his eyes breaking away, the look of smug arrogance, of playful innocence which once glowed with a light brighter than their golden hues, were now dim. Rather genuine or not, Scott couldn’t tell, he never could. He was fooled once, lured in by that smile and handsome face. But the way Theo felt, the warmth of his touch, the musky smell of his scent and the way his name left the other’s lips in that baritone voice, sexy and seductive. His words like velvet as they slipped from a poisonous tongue. And always that smirk, that damn sexy smirk. 

Scott found himself swiftly covering the distance between, one hand gripping Theo’s wrist as the other balled into a fist and slammed against his temple. “I hate you...” Which word dripped with his bottled up anger and rage. Fueled by the hatred of the Chimera’s past misdeeds. But the growl that followed, the way Scott leaned in and pressed his lips against Theo’s, capturing the other boy in a hungry lascivious kiss, was anything but.

What a great night at Hostel Fish!

Andrew told me that on the weekends, the bar has been fairly easy-going until 10:30pm, or so, then it explodes until the end of the night. I was prepared for that, and was able to get everything restocked for you fine and thirsty folks, beforehand. Sure enough, people arrived in droves around 10pm, and it stayed that way for the rest of the night. It was a high-volume/quick-turnover type of night, and everyone seemed to be in good spirits. Speaking of spirits, Absinthe was a fiery selection, and our new Suerte tequila proved to be a crowd favorite.

A couple of cool moments:

--I’ve been trying to get Paxton to show off her rad piano skills, being a music-business major, and all. She’s been coy about it, though, so at one point when it was just us two and another person in the room I said “alright, alright, how about this: if I get the ring on the hook in the first 3 attempts, you give us 5 minutes.” As I lined up, she said “If you get it on the first try, I’m out of here.” Sure enough, I landed the ring on the hook the first try and she bolted out of the room without saying anything. It was all humorous.

--Bijon, a warm and friendly guest of ours, showed me a picture he’d taken from the balcony. It was of me crouching down in the parking lot below, at the time I was taking a group-picture for a few ladies who were going into Ophelia’s. Without any other context, me just crouching down in the middle of a parking lot looked rather silly…

--It was a very pleasant surprise to see Nic and Mary, who are both awesome past Hostel employees. They both have some exciting opportunities ahead of them, and we love when Fishes past-and-present come to chill at our Lodo-oasis.

--At that denouement-time of a busy night, when the bar has been mostly cleaned and the music is winding down and people are reminded to start making moves, there was one special moment between myself, a friend, and a couple of guests. I’d shut the music off already and brought my guitar down for my friend to pick around on while I continued to clean. At one point, I walked over to the piano just to see what happened. I don’t play piano (at all) but I asked David the chords, and was able to find the right notes and a few riffs to go back and forth from that fit perfectly. Our hostel guest kept the beat nicely on one of our wooden side tables, and another guest joined in with a little impromptu scat. It was one of those cool, serendipitous, special moments that seem to happen around here often.

Overall, it was a damn good weekend. Cheers, all!

M U S EBoA ( Dangerous Business )

“Oppa. I’m scared. What if your appa finds out and he’s furious?”

She was indeed scared out of her mind and she was sure the pregnancy hormones weren’t helping. This was one of those times where being involved with someone who’s family was part of a dangerous business really stressed her out. Then again, she was just as stuck in it as he was. Because her father had sold her like some piece of art that was for sale.

There she sat, in a white dress that was supposed to be her wedding gown. Not exactly what she had originally planned but it would do given the short notice and all. Apparently something had happened because she was taking a nap and the next thing she knew, she was being rushed around and informed that they were eloping.

They were going to run away and do this. The pure definition of eloping. And she was petrified. Which of course wasn’t good for the pregnancy. It was stress but she had to remain some kind of calm. But she honestly had no idea how she was going to do that when she knew how dangerous his father was.

But then she really got a good look at her soon-to-be husband and realized that maybe this wasn’t all bad. At least she got to marry him finally. It wasn’t perfect like she had imagined it countless times but it would still be their wedding day and she would make the most of it.

💖👀🚨

💖: i have a romantic crush on you!

Seriously, I say this every time someone sends me this.

Say Hi.

👀: im too shy to talk to you 

I am literally just a dude with a blog.  I’m trying to make myself more and do better, but that’s all I am.

🚨: you intimidate me

I mean…I guess?  I don’t get it, but I empathize.  Feel free to ask @its-a-dangerousbusiness , @thenuanceddebater , or others.  I’m not that scary.

So recently… I’ve been on this huge weird thing where I look back at all the old gems of my iPod… and this song is one of the lovely throwbacks I’m going to share.

For whatever reason, I love Underoath. And I love this song, “It’s Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door.” Actually, I love this album. And I remember when it came out. Which is weird cause it’s like 10 years old now… holy macaroni and cheese, right?

Anyways!! Back to the song, I think out of all the songs on this album, this is the one I come back to almost every time. I love the chorus! I love a lot of the lyrics! The screaming is clear and ragged at the same time which is wonderful to my ear holes, though I couldn’t tell you why.

This was also my first screamo song. Isn’t that just adorable?

Cheers to you Underoath! I still think of you sometimes!
