“Two shots surely doesn’t get a beast like you wasted! But it might get those hips moving.” Ben picked up his shots and gently tapped them to against Blake’s. “To getting you to dance,” he toasted. Raising one shot glass at a time to his lips he tipped his head back, the alcohol barely burning at the back of his throat like it did when he first started drinking hours ago. He’d probably feel that later. “So… you know this means you have to dance with me now,” Ben stated matter of factually, smiling up at Blake. “And you can’t just leave me after a minute of bad dance moves.”

     “Considering I haven’t had shots in like, two years - yeah they might get me wasted.” Downing one shot, he quickly follows it by downing the second as well. Feeling the alcohol burn down his throat, he scrunches his nose as he shakes his head once. “I forgot how gross tequila actually is.” He could pretty much already feel the alcohol taking affect of his. It wasn’t that he was a lightweight, but considering he’d been drinking for a few hours already, it definitely was starting to hit him. “You kept to your end of the deal, I guess I’ll stick to mine.” He says, shrugging slightly as he stands up, holding out his hand for Ben to take. “You may have this dance.”

          ‘ glare  at  me  harder .    maybe  your  face  will  stick  like  that . ’    he  really  does  hate  her ,    doesn’t  he ?    it’s  fucking  hilarious ,    his  righteous  indignation .    it  could  amuse  phillippa  for  hours .    ‘ talk  to  me ,   goose .    either  you’re  pissed  at  me ,     or  someone  just  spoiled  the  ending  of  halfblood  prince  for  you .    you  already  knew  snape  killed  dumbledore ,    though ,   right ?   you’re  a  fucking  dork ,    you  must’ve .    is  this  about  the  penis  someone  —-  not  me ,    i  got  no  clue  who  it  was  —-  spray  painted  on  your  car ? ’    @blakecalder​

     Blake was a decent person, he liked to think he was a good and reasonable detective and that he was patient. Sure, he enjoyed goofing off every now and then but all in acceptable enough measures. But god did Pippa Vassos test his patience. She truly was a pain in his ass and how he wishes they could catch her on something, even if it was just to give her a warning. But no, she was careful. He hated how she could get on his nerves. Refraining himself from rolling his eyes, he crossed his arms as he continued to stare at her. “Sure, you’re basically the embodiment of innocence itself, right?”

        they  didn’t  even  date  for  that  long ,    but  she  still  feels  so  weird  seeing  blake  around  the  city .    she’d  been  trying  to  avoid  catching  his  gaze ,    not  quite  being  in  the  mood  for  awkward  catching  up  and  forced  smiles .    but  tiffany  waits  a  beat  too  long  to  avert  her  eyes ,    and  blake’s  lock  with  hers .   shit .   ‘   hey ,  ’    she  greets ,    more  awkward  than  usual .    ‘ it’s  been  awhile . ’    @blakecalder​

     He was pretty certain that he recognized her, but at the same time he didn’t want to be wrong and embarrass himself. Trying to focus back on what he was doing, he quickly glances at her again only to find her looking at him as well. Hearing her speak there was definitely no doubt anymore that it was Tiffany. “Hey, yeah. Long time. How have you been?” Yeah, definitely not an awkward conversation...

     It was late, the sun set hours ago and Chester couldn’t sleep. One of the many rare days in the week he wasn’t snuggled up next to Nick. The oldest Murphy just couldn’t close his eyes, his brain doing it’s usual of refusing to switch off. So, what’s the best thing to do when you can’t sleep? Commit a minor crime. Or in Chester’s mind it’s pretty minor. But an adventure alone isn’t quite as fun so he pulls out his shitty flip phone and throws a text out into the universe and hopes for a reply as he leaves his apartment for the night. Thankfully there’s a reply and Chester shoots off an address and starts his run through New York to get to his destination. The destination being that of an old movie theatre. A grin forms on his face as he sees Blake approaching and comically waves. “Now, does it technically count as breaking in if I have a key?” An eyebrow is raised, a glint in baby blue’s that’s nothing but mischief as Chess dangles said keys in front of him.  @blakecalder​

     Blake was supposed to be enjoying his evening off. With Eliza staying the night at his aunt’s, he actually had the place all to himself. He could have done anything - watch a movie, walk around naked, go out on a date and bring a date home without a six-year-old ruining the mood. Instead he just went to bed early and then he couldn’t even fall asleep. He’d be lying if he said that he wasn’t grateful when he read Chess’ text. He was out of his bed and dressed in a flash. Mentally debating as to whether or not to take his badge with him, he pushed it away in his pocket as he figured he might as well be prepared for anything. It was Chess he was meeting up with afterall. It didn’t take him too long to get to the address that he was sent, and he could already see a familiar face as he got there. At Chess’ words, Blake raised an eyebrow before glancing at the building. “Well that depends on how you got the key, I suppose.” Blake said, an amused smile on his face.

     Tony may or may not be scanning the crowd for one specific person. Okay fine, he has been trying to find his partner for about half an hour and has had to deal with his sisters constant teasing. He doesn’t know how all four of them are in one place and nothing has exploded yet but time will tell especially when they get drunken. Giovanna, the oldest sister and the one Tony is closest to, decides to ruffles his hair before whispering in his ear where a certain person is receding. Hazel eyes widen and find exactly who he’s looking for. Blake. A smile tugs on his lip and Giovanna shoves him in Blake’s direction and simply cackles at the glare her baby brother shoots her way. That’s the last time he tells her about any of his crushes. There’s some nervousness in his approach for some reason but he shoves that down and decides to tease. “Oh my God-” Out of habit of being hit over the head with a wooden spoon by his Nonna, he makes a quick cross on his chest for his blasphemy before continuing. “Is that THE Flynn Rider? Wow, I think- I think I might be star struck for the first time in my life and I arrested Time’s Square Elmo!” @blakecalder​

     Arriving at the party, Blake couldn’t help but feel somewhat out of place. Maybe it was because deep down he’d rather be watching Hocus Pocus with Eliza, but he knew he had to go out more. Tonight’s party was the perfect opportunity for that. Somewhere at this party, he knew he could find his siblings. Or at the very least Daniella. There was a big chance Connor was either home studying, or even getting dragged into dressing up for Eliza’s sake. Grabbing a beer from the bar, Blake looked around to see if he could find a familiar face in the crowd. A smile grew on his face as he saw his partner walking his way, before a laugh came over at hearing Tony speak. “Wow and I am the dork in this relationship, huh?” He jokes, a grin on his face as he takes in Tony’s outfit. He looked really good in the costume. “So are you here to arrest me or go all vigilante on me? Or am I actually in the clear?”

“I might be. We’ll find out now wont we?” he grinned, standing up as the male suggested a drink. “I’ll be extra nice and buy you a couple of shots so they get to you quicker. Come on Blake, let that hair down, it’s Halloween and if there was ever a time to dance it is tonight.” Ben led the way to the bar leaning against it as he ordered four shots which he was given on a small tray. Avoiding spilling them as he navigated the crowd he returned to Blake holding the tray in front of him. “Two for you two for me.”

     “Shots?” He asked, expecting just a simple beer or something. Blake’s eyes just followed Ben as he walked through the crowd, unable to contain the laugh that slipped his lips. Somehow he already knew he made a mistake challenging the other. Especially if shots were involved, something that had proven dangerous for Blake in the past. “I said you needed to get a drink in me, not to get me completely wasted.” He joked, before taking two shots of the tray and holding them out, waiting for Ben to grab his own. “To getting me to dance?”

       So, maybe he shouldn’t have punched that guy and started a full on bar fight. But Elijah has been a tightly coiled spring for days now and one night stands weren’t helping to unwind. Also didn’t help that he had no fights this week. But now he’s in a holding cell with bloodied knuckles bored out of his mind and trying not to knock out the drunk singing ABBA on repeat on the bench opposite him. Hearing footsteps approach, dark brown eyes glance up from the grey floor to spot a familiar face. A snort escapes him, of course it’s Blake the guy fucking works here but still. “Wanna join in on the ABBA fan club?” @blakecalder​

     Picking up coat to throw it on so he could leave for the day, Blake froze as he heard one of his colleagues say a familiar name. Letting out a small sigh, he put his coat back and headed over to the officer, asked for more information and ended up saying he’d take over the case and that they could just call it a night instead. Entering the holding cell, Blake just shrugs and crosses his arms behind his back. “I would but unfortunately I just don’t have the time.” He says, an amused smile on his face. “So should I expect a call from your mom at any moment now?”

     Tony groans, letting his forehead rest on his desk and a black coffee to the left of his head. There’s sunglasses askew on his face and he’s wishing for the sweet embrace of death currently. His brain feels like the seven dwarfs are currently mining for gems in there and he just wants to curl under his desk and sleep. But Tony taking a day off because he isn’t feeling great? Never. Last time he had a day off was last year for a family event and that was it. So, now he just has to suffer. At least he feels like a true Catholic now. Hearing familiar footsteps, Tony lets out another dramatic groan. “Blake- walk quieter I’m dying here.” @blakecalder​

     Blake wasn’t going to lie, he definitely had a few too many the night before. Maybe it was the beers, maybe it was the shots he did with Ben. He really didn’t know, all he knew he wasn’t feeling all that hot. He was wide awake though, aided by a six year old that came jumping and screaming on his bed to wake him up in the morning. Who needs an alarm clock when you have kids? Part of him regretted not having taken the day off, but taking a day off just because he had a slight hangover wasn’t something he wanted to do. Clutching to his coffee, he walked over to his desk. “We’re both dying, so don’t be a grump and just let me get to my seat before you start complaining.” He chuckled softly, wincing a bit as that actually made his head hurt.

Ben + Blake | You have to know

Ben: I'd like to see that but don't think I want to be the one you're angry at

Ben: Don't you know, you're one of the best

Blake: Probably not. Better to just be around when I'm angry at someone else, if you really want to see that happen.

Blake: Aw shucks, you're going to make me blush.

[blakecalder]

Ben + Blake | You have to know

Ben: Frowny face blake still probably hot. so annoying

Ben: you bet i am! only the best of the best today

Blake: Not going to lie, I have been told I still look hot when I am angry, so frowning will probably have a similar effect.

Blake: Nah, I'm just messing around.

Blake: Only the best today and you still take the time to message me? I feel honored.

[blakecalder]

Ben + Blake | You have to know

Ben: Work faster. Grow some wrinkles of something.

Ben: THanks!

Blake: I'll try to frown more, see if that helps with the wrinkles.

Blake: You celebrating?

[blakecalder]

Ben + Blake | You have to know

Ben: You have to know dads arent suppose to be as hot as you. It's not a thing. You should fix that it isn't fair for the rest of us.

Blake: Thanks? I'll work on getting uglier, if you prefer.

Blake: Oh btw, happy birthday!

Ben moved over to sit beside Blake with a huff, resting his arm on the back of the seat as he lent in to hear the other in the busy room. “Good thing we’re in a room full of people in masks and costumes, hiding their identity. You can pretend for just a little while you can dance. Move those hips. Pull some 80s dance moves. Make me laugh. I think it’d be a perfect end to the night, getting you to dance.” It felt like a challenge and he was certain to at least try to win Blake over. 

    Taking a quick glance around the room, he supposed that Ben had a point. Still, by no means had he have enough to drink if he was even going to consider going on the dance floor. “Are you setting yourself up for a challenge?” Blake joked, taking one final swing of his beer before setting the bottle down on the table in front of them. “If so, then I’m going to suggest you buy me a drink because that’s the only way you’ll even get close to getting me to make a fool of myself for your amusement.”

“Aw, that’s sweet. Big softie I see.” Scarlett said cooing at the thought letting go of Blake’s hand smiling kindly at the taller man. “Nice to meet you too. Sadly I’m without my Tin Man as he’s trying to stay away from temptation since he’s in AA at the moment. I’m all by myself tonight though the party’s pretty good so that’s a plus.”

     "Yeah, just don’t tell anyone - I have a reputation to uphold.” He jokes, as if everyone didn’t already know that his daughter practically had him whipped. Though she did tend to have that effect on most people, he wasn’t sure whether he should be proud of that or worried. “Ah well, that’s a fair enough reason to skip the party.” Blake nodded. He supposed that a Halloween party, which for most adults was basically an excuse just to dress up and get wasted, wasn’t exactly the ideal place for someone who’s working on getting sober. “Well you and me both then, though I’m pretty sure there are a fair amount of people here that I know, but hey - you can consider me your friend from this point on, so I guess you’re no longer alone here.”
