* 001 ↷ STEELE , CRISTYN .
cristyn is staring. full on, solidly, stuck staring at him like a deer in headlights. she blinks a couple times, his voice playing over in her head like a scratched cassette — he knows, he’s always known. what the f u c k does that even mean?? her brows are creased intensely to the point where it translates her befuddled disposition ; a vein unveiling itself in light of her blood pressure taking a hike, a key implication that she’s kinda UPSET. “————what do you MEAN you’ve a l w a y s known, ALARIC???” tone as stern as matriarch’s ; neither of them can turn away from this now. it seems like her twenty years of failed curiosity has only led to more unanswered questions, and now’s not the time for him to be pandering at his cuticles. she leans and draws a pointed finger across the table in an attempt to redirect his attention. “what the hell does that mean??” she does her best to keep the volume low, but there’s a desperation in her voice that pleads for an explanation.
HE RECOILED SLIGHTLY at her tone , flinching . all of the possible outcomes to this conversation quickly go through his head , and he shifted UNCOMFORTABLY in his seat because in most of them , he can so easily lose cristyn . taking in a breath to calm his nerves , alaric paused for a moment to gather himself before everything comes spilling out , ❝ when .. when i was eighteen — ❞ he shook his head , ❝ you , you were only seven at the time . but i spent ALL SUMMER looking for you and your parents . i just .. i guess i wanted to see you before i left for university , make sure you were OKAY .. my mom died three years prior and i don’t know , ❞ alaric sighed and gave a defeated shrug , ❝ it seemed like the right thing to do at the time — i was NAIVE , believing in things like destiny and fate .. then i did find you . you’re parents ... they introduced me as your brother’s friend or something , you probably don’t remember but ... your parents talked to me and cristyn , you have to UNDERSTAND , i made a promise to them that i wouldn’t approach you , tell you , anything — they were very clear . ❞ he paused , his lips thinning into a line . he hated this , every minute , but he knew that he had to keep going , he couldn’t keep anymore secrets from her if he had any HOPES of this relationship working in the future . ❝ i think .. i think they wanted to tell you themselves but i guess they never got around to it .. ❞ eyes downcast , alaric furrowed his brows together in a dejected look before looking up again to meet her gaze . ❝ then .. jessica INTRODUCED us and it felt like FATE . i wanted to tell you , so badly , you have to believe me but then .. i found out that your dad DIED and it — it just felt WRONG , so i kept my promise and ... i’m — i’m sorry , cris . ❞

* 001 ↷ HALE , ELLIOT .
FIXING HER NASAL CANNULA without a mirror was tougher than it looked . her nose scrunched while doing so , ❝ i’m not apologizing . only because if you’re going to MARRY into this family you need to emotionally prepare . ❞ she warned looking over at the older man . ❝ if anything you should be THANKING me . ❞
ALARIC ACCIDENTALLY LETS OUT A SNORT and his eyes widen slightly , taken aback by his own actions . he must admit , elliot’s not wrong . he knows the dair / hale clan are ... a WILD BUNCH to say the least , but he’s been around most of them for so long , even before he met jessica , was that not preparation ENOUGH ? the more he thinks on it , the more he feels offended by elliot’s words . ❝ you don’t think i know what i’m getting into ?? ❞ he questions with a raise of his brow , ❝ i have had YEARS of emotional preparation , enough to be older than you , thank you very much . ❞

GREEN ORBS LOOK OVER AT the man sitting across from him as he takes a brief sip of his drink . ❝ so , i ran into the GIRLS the other day — elliot and bailey . reminded me how LONG it’s been , even though it only feels like YESTERDAY ... they’re reminding me more and more of you and selina . ❞ alaric pauses and tilts his head at nixon , ❝ it’s quite SCARY , actually . but anyways , i suppose i should ASK , how are you two ? ❞

* 001 ↷ STEELE , CRISTYN .
with age has come prosperity and a better judge of character ; cris can admit that at first she didn’t like the guy who was trying to steal her best friend. but as the world carried on and she found herself subsequently stuck in the same place, she realized that everything happens for a reason. her abhorrence turned into a fixation and it’s more than likely the reason why her chest feels like it’s going to concave from impending anxiety right about now. as she approaches, she contrasts his slick-cut appearance with creased vans and a tucked-in tee held up by the elastic band of her ‘mom jeans’, and exhales — “what’s up, alaric.” she adjusts the chair, takes a seat ; eye contact is briefly made, but is drawn to folded hands resting atop the table. “i just uh… before you say anything, i’m just going to do what i do and say what i have to say first.” they’re both busy people – she knows – getting to the chase is her motive. “i mean — it’s kinda weird since we’ve already gotten to know each other through jessica, but… i’ve always wanted to know who i originated from. you know i’m adopted, and… to my parents and their obliviousness, i went digging around a few years ago. so,” fuck it, cris — stop breathing so hard & say it: “i’m your sister. like, your birth sister. from blood.” a brow pops, locking her gaze to his with an expectant yikes.
ALARIC RAISES AN EYEBROW at her words , eyes narrowing slightly as he tries to figure out her point before she gets to it . he’s still CLUELESS for the first few seconds , until the key word pops up . adopted . immediately , he feels his body tensing up , PANICKING . her revelation comes sooner than he expected and unfortunately , he has nothing prepared . does he continue the CHARADE — pretend to be shocked ? no , alaric’s not a MONSTER . taking in a deep breath , he lets out long exhale as he AVOIDS her gaze for a few moments , trying to figure out what to say . he supposed the truth was bound to come out some time , ❝ i know . ❞ alaric says simply , finally looking up to meet her brown eyes that remind him way too much of his mother’s . their mother . ❝ i’ve — i’ve always known . before i met you , before i met JESS ... ❞ again , he sighed . how does he explain this without sounding like an ASSHOLE who’s using her dead father as a scapegoat ?? alaric picks at the side of his coffee cup , waiting for her reaction to his OWN confession .

LOOKING UP , ALARIC’S GAZE SETTLES on a familiar , young brunette and almost immediately , his expression sours . ❝ i swear , if you even MENTION the word slim fast again , i am LEAVING , elliot . ❞ maybe he was being a little dramatic , but alaric knew she wouldn’t take offence to his words . that was one of the things he had actually LIKED about elliot – she wasn’t so SENSITIVE like how other kids can be . her sense of humour though ( that she definitely got from her parents ) , not so much .

GREEN EYES NARROW as he looks at her , a dubious expression on his face . ❝ you’re nixon’s youngest daughter ? bailey ?? ❞ his eyebrows rise and he LEANS back in disbelief . did he just wake up from a COMA without knowing ? ❝ jesus , you’re HUGE . i mean — big . grown up . ❞ he fumbled , how do you talk to children ?? or he supposed , YOUNG ADULT . it felt like yesterday he had to stand awkwardly in a toys r us , picking out her birthday presents — he must be getting old .

* 001 ↷ HOT TAMALE .
her eyes were squinted as gentle toes tipped through their home . she had left her earpods on the couch in the den . it wasn’t until she sees the glowing from the kitchen , she directed her attention to the action . blue hues try to make out the scene before a shake of her head & a quick flick of the light . THERE HE WAS — CAUGHT RED HANDED . crossing her arms over her chest , jessica looked at her boyfriend with a less than pleased facial expression . “ i should be askin’ you THAT question . “ she fanned her hand , a sucking her teeth as she made her way closer to him . “ green juice my ASS , ric . it’s almost two in the morning , you know i can’t fall back to sleep without listening to instrumentals so i come get my airpods & i see YOU SNEAKIN’ SNACKS AGAIN !! “
A DEFEATED SIGH ESCAPES HIS LIPS and alaric sets the bottle of juice down on the island . he matches her actions and crosses his own arms , even going as far as sticking his BOTTOM LIP out — but only slightly . ❝ well , you know that i can’t fall asleep HUNGRY . it makes me restless and i have a MEETING in the morning , ❞ now he’s just being EXCESSIVE . damn it , he can’t argue hungry either . ❝ besides , it’s not snacking , it’s … dinner , technically . i was going to grab the leftovers … ❞ he turns away to put the juice back , muttering under his breath . ❝ i should’ve just gone to jack in the box . ❞

WITH HIS HANDS IN THE POCKETS of perfectly tailored pants , alaric mindlessly toyed with the small , velvet covered box inside . ❝ uh , i’d like to thank you , for MEETING me here . ❞ his words came out stiff , nervous . a feeling he wasn’t familiar with . ❝ i won’t beat around THE BUSH — ❞ he knew that like him , eve was a no-nonsense type of woman , something he always ADMIRED about her . ❝ but just to clarify ; in no means , am i asking for your APPROVAL . however , i thought i should let you know that i’m planning on asking jessica to marry me – soon . probably after mavis’ and freddy’s WEDDING , that seems to be the most APPROPRIATE timing . ❞

biggest mistakes?
❝ i’m … not sure if i have any . i was RAISED on the principle that no matter how BAD things get , god always has plan and so far , i AM pretty satisfied with how my life’s turned out so , ❞ alaric gives a small shrug of his shoulder . ❝ i suppose , if i were to NIT-PICK , i regret waiting too long to tell jessica ( @jvsscas ) how i feel about her . ❞

biggest insecurity, if any?
❝ not quite sure , actually . i mean , they’re definitely THERE , just hard to come up with on the spot . i guess i just always worry that i’m not doing enough … whether it be for my FAMILY , jessica , the kids , people i care for in general . even with the firm and my employees , or with how THE WORLD is doing . but i don’t mind it , i think that’s what keeps me in check and my LIFE in line . ❞

thiccyboi * ahem * business magnate , alaric romero , is seen supporting the aclu at the 2018 fourth of july dinner , hosted graciously by none other than the hale family . being a known contributor to the n.g.o ( not to mention the outrageous price tags on everything he’s wearing ) , the rumours of a large donation made that day in mr. romero’s name is no surprise . however , maybe he should show the same generosity to his waistband , or maybe buy a new pair of designer chinos . your pants are looking a little tight mister !

MOONLIGHT STREAMS IN THROUGH the skylights and bare feet pad softly across the wooden floor of their kitchen . as quietly as he could , alaric pulls open the refrigerator door and scans its contents . green eyes land on a container of CHINESE LEFTOVERS but before he could even reach a hand out , the kitchen lights flicker open . alaric flinches and blinks at the sudden shock and slowly , he RELUCTANTLY straightens to find jessica across the island , manicured hands on the light switch , and a LESS THAN impressed look on her face . ❝ oh — hey , hermosa , ❞ a weak attempt at distraction . he gives an embarrassed SMILE and quickly reaches for a bottle of green juice , ❝ i was just , uh , grabbing a snack . it’s .. late , SWEETHEART . why are you up ?? ❞

DEXTEROUS FINGERS CURL AROUND A steaming cup of coffee ( a double espresso , naturally ) as he sits by himself at a table for TWO . while this is usually a normal sight , today , alaric is actually EXPECTING company . company that he invited , WILLINGLY . his co-workers would have an aneurysm . of course he wouldn’t be able to share with them the reason for his UNUSUALLY GREGARIOUS behaviour — he had made a promise , after all . it wasn’t , by any means , a non-disclosure of any sort but he was a MAN OF HIS WORD , at least when it came to dead men . which was why he couldn’t explain himself to cristyn either . so he supposed that’s how he found himself in this situation , scheduling for these HORRIDLY AWKWARD coffee dates when god knows he doesn’t have the time , talking , SOCIALIZING . alaric wasn’t used to putting this much EFFORT into a friendship and quite honestly , it was exhausting but he forced himself to push through for cristyn .
