she  was  torn  between  either  being  in  disbelief  over  the  fact  that  out  of  all  places  damon  would  be  here  out  of  coincidence  or  if  he  was  keeping  tabs  on  her.  either  way  it  was  slightly  comforting  to  see  a  familiar  face  within  the  scenery.  "  mm?  flirting  already?  "  she  playfully  called  him  out.  it  was  friendly  as  she  still  held  an  amused  grin  as  her  gaze  was  fixated  on  him  after  he  swiped  her  chin  with  his  thumb.  a  laugh  erupting  from  her  throat  as  his  words,  "  i  don't  know,  did  i?  "  winona  hummed  for  a  minute  to  play  coy  since  it  was  a  but  it  was  obvious  she  did,  it  was  in  her  body  language.  "  i  did  miss  having  someone  by  my  side  while  i  roam  around.  "  turning  her  head  to  look  at  her  drink,  avoiding  eye  contact  with  the  tall  male.  eventually  they  would  grow  to  want  their  space  and  she  wouldn't  fare  to  think  to  deny  such  a  thing  for  damon.  "  so?  was  it  boring  without  me?  got  old  quick  huh?  "

she looked good just like she always had. damon couldn't quite read how she felt about him being here, but she was smiling so that was a good sign. in the past when he had appeared unannounced in her life she hadn't reacted as nicely as he'd imagined she might've. his overactive mind was running rampantly which wasn't anything new for him; the worst part for him about being undead was being stuck enduring his own thoughts for...forever. "you can't blame me, it's a pretty nice side." his gaze shamelessly took in her familiar apperance for the first time in a good ten years. "don't pretend like you're not happy to see me. you know you missed me." he smugly swiped his thumb against her chin. truthfully the reason he was here bothering her was ever since he'd been told she hung out at this establishment, he couldn't get it off of his mind. he told himself that maybe it was better off if he actually left her alone for once, but try as he might he couldn't think about anything but her. he scoped out the bar a handful of times before he actually ever came inside. only time would tell if he was better off not showing up altogether.

"That... was a really long hey," Joel chuckles, voice slow with sleep. His eyes are not even open as the phone is pressed to his ear, leaving his opposite arm draped over his eyes as if the room was not already dark with the intention of calling it a night. "Hey. You didn't think I would answer but you called anyway?" He smiles, his brain too slow to do much other than the release of a breathless chuckle. "No, you didn't wake me. Or--maybe you did kinda wake me, but I don't mind. Is everything okay? You sound a little weird."

"no,  not  that  i  remember  —  maybe  you  should  remind  me."  koji  suggests,  a  coy  smile  playing  on  his  lips.  he  tilts  his  head,  as  if  taking  a  moment  to  ponder  his  answer.  "like  you  just  want  to  eat  me  up."  he  responds  daringly,  stifling  a  chuckle  that  threatens  to  escape  his  throat.  "...  am  i  wrong?"

"if you say so," he slurred. "it just felt like you were going to kiss me there ya know?"

Fen doesn't even hesitate to brush his thumb over their hip, the ink beneath his skin, a grin on his lips. "You know you can never leave me now. Not with my name here." It had been the hottest thing they'd asked for and Fen wasn't really one to tell them no. @devsmuses

She’d been in the middle of painting, so in-the-zone that she nearly missed the buzzing of her phone. Eyebrows knit together curiously upon seeing Jill’s name flash across her screen. Sucking air through her teeth, she answers – hesitates.

“Hello?” And there it is, that familiar voice. A smile ghosts across Leo’s lips as she talks. “Yeah, wow, I… I haven’t talked to you in forever.” It feels a little awkward on her end, though Jill seems entirely normal about it. “I’m good! Yeah, I’m good, just… you know.” A wave of her hand like the other girl could see it. “…Painting, right now. What- what about you? How’ve you been?” Now she’s up and pacing, spinning in slow circles. “Are you still in town?”

the moment ezra spoke, time felt like it slowed down. it almost didn't feel real, his mind taking it's time to catch up with what his ears had just heard. in his mind he’d imagined a moment like this a few too many times, never thinking it could really be true. he shot up in bed, then realizing he’d been quiet for a few moments too long. “ no ! no, i, uh … i’m not uncomfortable. ” he was soon on his feet, pacing back and forth, hand running through his hair. “ i have feelings for you too, in a non-friendship kind of way. ” feet came to a slow stop, but the beat of his heart continued to thrum erratically. the distance between them now seemed unbearable, and miles found himself wishing he could jump on a plane and head back home. " if we're being honest, i have for a really long time, i was just so afraid of losing you that it seemed better to keep it to myself. " he was beaming from ear to ear, smile so big it almost ached. a soft chuckle soon escaped his mouth as he moved to sit off the edge of the bed once again. " i wish i wasn't half way across the world right now, this would be so much better if i could actually kiss you. "

"of course," he confirmed with a gentle smile, which hid the nefarious thoughts that he harboured; that unspoken knowledge that had now crept between the pair of them, willing them closer. although he shouldn't even attempt to flirt with his brother's best friend, let alone actually try anything - that tension had been brewing for quite a while now, and it was threatening to boil over. he figured what they had between them was something they'd yet to explore because of his brother, but it was too much now. his attraction and hunger had grown too big to be ignored anymore. the elephant in the room that was threatening to stampede right through it. it doesn't take him long to lead her, his fingers grasping between her own, as he directs her through a few busy crowds, only to slip past his brother jenson with relative ease. he opens the door and shoos a few lingering bodies out of his room and away from his door, before gesturing politely with his head for her to wander in first. "our mother is going to kill us for this," he admits with a broken laugh, though the smile sat against his mouth conveys very little remorse, if any.

Jonah knew what the right thing to do was, but he wasn't sure he had the strength to do it. He should walk away from the other man and go find his girlfriend. But that wasn't what he wanted to do. Jonah's attraction to Ezra was still strong and he wanted to fall into old patterns. It would be so much more enjoyable than going to his girlfriend and wishing that she was someone else. "I love her but she isn't you." He admitted too Ezra because he did have feelings for his girlfriend. The issue just was that those feelings weren't nearly as strong as what he'd once felt -- what he still felt --- for Ezra. "You haven't made me do anything that I didn't want to do." Jonah said as he was more than fine with where things had been going so far.

and just like that, the cozy little bubble away from reality they’d found themselves in had busted as jonah mentioned his girlfriend. ezra felt a pang of guilt as he thought of her and he almost felt ashamed of what had happened here tonight. his feelings still remained for his ex, but that didn’t give him the right to kiss someone else’s partner, and that’s all jonah was right now to him, someone else’s person. a soft sigh brushed past his own lips as he hesitantly looked into the other male’s eyes. “i don’t really know what the right thing to do is,” he bit his lip for a moment before asking something he was scared to get the answer to. “do you love her?” ezra wanted to gauge how serious their relationship was. if it was a new relationship without many strings attached then that would make this situation easier, but it still wouldn’t be completely right. “i don’t want to feel like i’ve done something wrong by kissing you tonight, but you’ve got a girlfriend and i hate the thought of me wrecking someone else’s relationship selfishly.”

"and  what  excuses  do  you  have  this  time  for  your  little  disappearing  act?  i'm  all  ears."  alice  spits,  her  impatience  apparent  as  her  furious  gaze  meets  her  girlfriend's,  and  her  arms  cross  over  her  chest.  they  both  lead  busy  lives,  she's  well  aware,  but  it  doesn't  mean  that  falling  off  the  face  of  the  earth  without  a  warning  is  anything  close  to  their  normalcy.

piper was drunk there was no denying it, but boy did she try. fingers trailed along the others jaw as she mustered up the most innocent look she could. "i've been trying to get you alone all night." her arm moved to snake around their shoulder as she stepped a little closer. "i have a surprise for you."

"There's nothing left here for us but you keep trying. Why do you keep trying?" Gus needs to know. Whatever was between them died. He doesn't know when or why just that is has. They've only been fighting for weeks now. They know just how to get under each other's skin and Gus uses it to his advantage every time he wants to see them turn flush with anger. He's usually not this guy, he swears, but they've brought out the worst in him over and over again. "Weren't you all over Mikey last weekend?" @devsmuses

He sighed. He wanted to say he trusted her, but he didn’t want to drag the conversation out, so he quickly nodded when she suggested they try to make the night better. He chuckled softly when she mentioned the take out choice, then brought one of his hands to her face, pulling her close by her face and hip to sit her on his lap. ❝That’s a great idea. I don’t want you to leave❞

kylie simply shakes her head as lip suggests they still can go to the party as it was the furthest thing from her mind at this point. "i don't even care about going anymore. it was never really about the party. it was about the fact you made me feel like you don't trust me and that made me feel really shitty, obviously." she brought her own arms up to rest comfortably around lip's broad shoulders as she let out a relieved sigh before continuing to speak. "now, can we try and turn this evening around? we could order take out, my choice for obvious reason. maybe we could watch something, just spend time together like you wanted?" there's a mix between a soft smile and a bit of a smirk on her face. honestly she was relieved they'd somehow gotten through this argument without it spiraling too out of control; no one had stormed out and left with words unsaid so it wasn't too bad on the scale of their arguments in her opinion.

"i mean it. the weed doesn't distort my vision, just makes it easier for me to speak the truth." he practically sing-songs matter of factly, a mischievous glint in his eyes when he smiles back at her. perhaps it was a mortal sin to flirt with his brother's friend, but he wasn't at all inclined to stop. he didn't see the harm, if anything all he could see in his weed-fuelled happy place was positives to their current circumstance. "why thank you-" he curts his head playfully, taking another hit from his joint, then handing it back over to her. "yeah?" it paid to have a younger brother who enjoyed hosting parties at his place, "you want me to show you what i see?" he asks then, head tilting curiously. "--my camera is in my room. would y'rather i went to get it and photographed you here mid-party or...we took this back to my room?"
