Running was something Grayson always loved, she loved the burn in her lungs, the pounding of her heart in her ears while she pushed her body to be the best it could be. She had started to run along the beach, the sand made it harder to step, which burned more calories, and she liked the way her legs burned after her run, she was really looking forward to being strong enough for it to stop hurting soon. She was running her usual path one day, between the houses and the beach, when she saw two dogs wandering around the beach. She figured their owner was going to be close by, and she slowed down to a jog, but when she realized she didn’t see anyone around she stopped and looked at the dogs, one of whom seemed a little shyer than the other. “Well, what are you two doing out here?” she asked the friendlier dog as she knelt down and was immediately met by kisses and jumping. “Okay, okay,” she sighed and then grabbed the dog by the collar. She read the address on the collar and then looked around. “I think that’s close,” she mumbled before pulling her phone out and looking it up. It was just a five minute walk, so she stood up and sighed as she looked at the dogs. They could probably make it home on their own, if they could make it five minutes one way they could definitely do it another way, and she was about to run off and just leave them, but as she started to jog again, she was surprised when they started to follow her. 

“Oh come on!” she said as she looked at them. “Go on, shoo, go home,” Gray said as she waved her hands, the friendlier of the two gave a little bark and jumped around, obviously thinking this was some sort of game. She sighed darkly and then looked at her phone. “Fine, you know what, fuck it,” she said before starting to jog again. She checked to make sure the dogs were following every couple feet, and they were, hell they were keeping pace with her, so when she got to their house she opened the gate to the front and watched as the dogs ran right in. At least it seemed like it was the right place. Gray jogged up to the house and knocked on the door, holding the collar of the friendlier dog so that the owner wouldn’t think she was just some random girl coming over to knock on their door for no reason. When the door opened she gave the owner a heavy sigh. “Lose something?” she asked dryly.

Walking over to Leslie’s was a bit of a walk from the treehouse, but it was on the way from school, so stopping by had never been a problem. Sure he’d been a little busy lately, he’d been doing some renovations to the treehouse, making the railing... Exist. And sturdy enough to lean against, but mostly existing. He was also redoing the wall around the outdoor shower, and fixing the plumbing, so it had been a time consuming project, but no excuses, he was going to see Leslie today. 

When he got to the house he hopped over the fence easily, grinning as the dogs ran up to him. “What’s up my little ankle biters?” he asked as he knelt down and pet them both as they shoved at each other for his attention. “Hey- Artie, be nice to your brother,” he said before he stood up and walked up to the front door. The main door was open and the screen was closed so he rapped on it a few times before opening the door. “Anyone in?” he called into the house. “Anyone order some Monteith’s? Because I got a couple cases with your name on it!”

[text] I know, but I feel terrible about how I acted! I guess even after several years I still can’t seem to accept that these things aren’t my fault.

[text] Oh good! You pick the day and location then. And I promise to tell you if I’m feeling even the slightest bit different. 😉

[text from Evie] I got your gifts, thank you so much. They're beautiful!

[text] Would..you like to go to dinner one night? I want to make up for everything.

[text] There's certainly nothing to make up for. We've all had a few difficult days with magic.

[text] But of course, I would love to have dinner with you, Evelyn. You're always good company. Under normal circumstances, of course.

[text] LOL

Grayson & Leslie

Send me a ship and I’ll tell you… Gray & Leslie

Who asks the other on dates: Leslie, Gray is so focused on her dancing, she forgets about stuff like that. Who is the bigger cuddler: Leslie again, Gray isn't the most touchy feely person, but she actually likes cuddling when it happens, she just doesn't seek it out. Who initiates holding hands more often: Leslie for the most part, but when she's more comfortable in the relationship she'll slyly slip her hand into Leslie's Who remembers anniversaries: Gray, she's good at keeping track of things like that Who is more possessive: Gray, she's a very possessive person Who gets more jealous: Gray, she has a very deep seeded jealousy streak Who is more protective: Leslie Who is more likely to cheat: Neither? Who initiates sexy times the most: Gray Who dislikes PDA the most: Gray Who kills the spider: Gray will kill it, Leslie's more likely to catch and release Who asks the the other to marry them: Leslie Who buys the other flowers or gifts: They buy each other gifts, but Gray's gifts are more practical, while Leslie's are more thoughtful Who would bring up possibly having kids: Leslie, Gray's never given much thought into having kids Who is more nervous to meet the parents: Leslie, since his mum is gone, Gray won't be able to meet her, but she does get nervous about going to his mum's grave- death makes her very uncomfortable Who sleeps on the couch when the other is angry: Gray is more likely to get angry over Leslie, she's a very reactionary young lady Who tries to make up first after arguments: Leslie, he likes to keep the peace, but Gray's more likely to pretend the argument never happened Who tells the other they love them more often: Again, Leslie, Gray has a hard time opening up about emotional things, and she can be hesitant to say anything that makes her feel vulnerable

Les, happy Valentine’s Day mate, I’m looking forward to seeing you soon, thanks for letting me set up on your hammock when Cassie’s bringing girls home, it’s not easy being the cool dad, but friends like you make it much easier. Come round sometime and we’ll do a dinner, it’ll be nice. Gotta get all the kiwis together, it’ll feel like home again.

[text] Everyone was out of line. That’s..not how I normally act myself. You can’t hold yourself at fault for something that was out of your control.

[text] Oh..that would be lovely. I really would love that. I’m still in the hospital though. That’s why I didn’t thank you as soon as I should have.

[text from Evelyn] Thank you so much for the flowers, they were very much appreciated and needed.

[text] And please don’t apologize. It wasn’t your fault at all. Believe me, I’m embarrassed about how I acted as well.

[text] It was hardly polite. Or becoming of a friend at any rate. You're very welcome. You don't have anything to be embarrassed about. My comment about your footwear and dancing was wildly out of line.

[text] Perhaps I could make it up to you with dinner one night?

This place wouldn’t be any different. Leslie felt a fool for thinking so. He’d thrown the mask away, annoyed with it enough. Most people here hadn’t even heard of a Kiwi bird, or even his beloved New Zealand. Or if they had the first thing out of their mouth was Lord of the Rings. Sure, they were great movies but honestly hadn’t anyone heard of Sir Edmund Hillary? The All Blacks? It was a travesty. He should have stayed.

He should have stayed and defended his farm and killed the bastard who had dared desecrated his land. His mother’s and the nun’s land. His perfect piece of Aotearoa. The fact that everything was burned, everything, gave him and Mary Katherine the impression it had been a demon. Every bit of religious iconography, no one left alive, all in less than four hours time.

But he took Mary Katherine’s advice instead and came here. For what? An apartment his dogs hated, that he hated, people who didn’t understand him… Even his job people didn’t get. If one more person called folklore “just fairy tales”, if one more student acted like it would be something called a “blow off course” or “bird class” he’d show them how easy they’d have it.

He didn’t like being this angry or upset. Or even jealous, thinking back on Sage being all over Wilder at the waterfall. Normally he never had a reason to be. Coming here, everything was different. The only people who spoke normally was Wild, and Fawn. A little bit. They were so old their accent wasn’t as strong.

It just wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fucking fair.

It would have been a lie to say that Leo had enjoyed the party. Sure he was down for kinky play, but he’s not into non con and he was definitely not into the whole crying and screaming part- unless it was exclamations of pleasure due to his many skills. The slaves, the label he hated using for obvious reasons, clearly didn’t want to be here. Two, maybe three seemed like they were enjoying themselves and even then it was questionable. But who was he to say anything. He only had time to care for himself. 

Taking another sip from glass number- he’d lost count, in the corner of the room, he almost choke when the sudden flying of an object hit and landed next to his feet. He looked down, holding the glass high in the air as he eyed the discarded mask in disbelief. “What the even hell?”

Turning toward the direction where the mask came from, Leo noticed the surly looking male immediately. The man didn’t even have to say anything because Leo knew almost right away that the mask came from him and even if it didn’t... well, it just did.

With a wave, he signaled the man with a look of incredulity before motioning toward the mask on the floor. “Dude, what did the mask even do to you to deserve this kind of disrespect?”

Top 5 people who should slide into your DM's right now and one person who should do it cause you don't know them well.

Well, anyone can really! I'm always open to talking to anyone. But I'll say:
