Artemis, Asclepius

artemis - do you believe it is vital to everyday life to know what is happening in the world around you?

“ THIS MIGHT SOUND TERRIBLE BUT not really? i think sometimes it’s important to know some things and be aware of people, but there’s a such thing as being too invested and that can just really make life suck for you. ”

asclepius - have you ever lied about being ill to avoid school or work? If so, how elaborate have your stories been?

“ OF COURSE I HAVE! BUT they’ve gotten less elaborate as time goes on since really the more elaborate they are, while being the most fun to come up with, the harder they are to make convincing. my most recent one i just sent “superflu” in an email to a professor and they let me off. ”

13, 16, 20, 29

13 - inside or outdoors?

“ OUTDOORS, ALWAYS. FOR THE MOST part. i like a good movie night in a fort too and that gets a little harder outside. outside movies are great though. i like to hunt down where drive inns still are. ”

16 - if you’d grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?

( can be found here. )

20 - would you rather be in Middle Earth, Narnia, Hogwarts, or somewhere else?

“ OKAY THIS ONE IS A really hard one because all of them would be so cool and there’s others i’d love to live in. but logically, i’m going to go with hogwarts because middle earth and narnia can be pretty terrifying for just a human and if i’m in hogwarts that means i’m a wizard. ”

29 - three songs that you connect with right now.

“ FEEL IT STILL BY PORTUGAL. the man. my generation by the who. and thrift shop by macklemore. though honestly this was really hard to decide on. ”

16. if you'd grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?

“ I DON’T KNOW, FOR THE most part maybe? a lot of who i am is because of pax and noah and the rest of them, but i know a lot is because of me too. i can say without them, i’d have been way loads less happy and i think that’s the most important part. ”

#♞ ANSWERS ⎯

Zeus & Hestia

zeus - what’s your favorite kind of weather?

“ I LIKE SUMMER WHEN IT’S just humid enough to hear cicadas during the day and crickets at night and you could sleep out in the woods without a tent and just have the stars to look up at. ”

hestia - what’s the weirdest scar you have and how did you get it?

“ IT’S FROM THIS BURN I got when i microwaved chocolate this one time and it became a burned molten mess. it’s on the back of my hand and looks a little like a half star. kinda faded because it happened so long ago. ”

“That sounds so nice!” Sally would have to beg Finn to make a fort with her one of these days. Maybe she could get Adam and Teddy and even Luke in on it too. Maybe even Ed! She tucked her knees to her chest, smiling up at her friend happily. “Is it stuffy? She asked curiously, tilting her head to the side. “What makes a movie stuffy?”

“ IT IS! KINDA PEACEFUL TOO. ” that was one of the many perks of the lights. no matter the colors, they were a bit like stars. “ it’s not too stuffy itself... at least the least stuffy in the stuffy movie category. though really it’s not bad for this movie. ” he shrugged a bit. “ i actually don’t know what makes a movie stuffy it just kinda feels natural calling some stuffy. especially some old ones. like gone with the wind? ” he made a snoring noise. “ nope, never again. ”

ever since their days in foster, jay has been his number one. beyond doubt the one person who’d support him in every decision; 110% certainty. that’s not to say the rest of the lost boys don’t have his back, that they would refrain from following him off into the unknown. they all believed in him, as he believed in them. but as children, pax chose jay as his second. his right hand man and his ride or die, and rightfully so. he never regretted that decision. he can count on his friend ( to this day ) to be there for him. a lot of the time, that included stroking his ego. nobody knew his need for it better than jay himself.

“y’really think so?” it definitely makes him feel good. he grins, crossing his arms as he hops up onto the counter. “you’re pretty great too, y’know.”

JAY WASN’T QUITE SURE WHAT brought him to the topic to begin with, but honestly he didn’t always remember what brought him to the compliment that left his mouth, only that he meant it and it was deserved. and pax could always count on getting one from him and he took pride in that fact. because if someone didn’t have someone to bolster their confidence then that was one lonely life. just like how things would be if the lost boys had never found each other and stuck together.

“ of course i think so, ” jay said, smiling to add to the point. he looked away to finish the hot cocoa he was making and put it in the window, calling out the name, before his attention turned back to pax. “ really? that means a lot. loads. ” not that he didn’t already know pax thought so before this moment. they all always had good things to say about each other.

“Lights?” Sally repeated curiously, looking over their work with the same awed expression. The fort was cozy enough already, imagining it with lights made Sally want to snuggle in and never leave it. “I’m not really sure.” She admitted with a small shrug. “I kind of want to see something new. I’ve never seen the Wizard of Oz.” Sally admitted.

“ YEAH! ” JAY RESPONDED ENTHUSIASTICALLY. “ WE usually hook them up to an extension cord outside the fort and string them up to line the the sheets and blankets. ” he smiled thinking about them. he really needed to hunt down some for times like this. “ wizard of oz? yeah, we’ve got to watch that. it’s been a while since i’ve seen it, but it’s essential. i think. that’s what a lot of people say. and it’s actually good for being a stuffy old movie. ”

what’s one of your favorite childhood memories?

“ THERE’S ALWAYS THE NIGHT ME and the pax and noah and the rest of them ran away, but i feel like i always give that answer. i think another favorite memory came soon after and showed we were still all going to end up together forever. it was simple really, but we snuck out to the roof and stared at the stars and all said something we all had to remember about ourselves. mine was i hate pickles. ”

what is one thing that you regret never saying?

“ THERE’S REALLY ONLY ONE I regret never saying and it’s probably not saying how much i care about marley to her. just fear of the future got in the way. ”

what place do you wish you were right now? why?

“ I DON’T KNOW... I THINK i’m pretty satisfied here right now? maybe right now right now, i wish i was out in the woods with noah and pax, but that’s always easily fixed. ”

Sally had made blanket forts before when she was still at her father’s, but they were so small and sad in comparison to this one here. This fort was big, and it was cozy. And Sally wasn’t alone this time, she had Jay, who had guided her in making this giant fort. Sally looked around, seated on one of the couch cushions as she took everything in, a wide smile on her face. When Jay rejoined her, she grinned and took one of the blankets from the pile, draping it over her legs and giggling. “This is so cool! You really do this all the time?”

JAY GRINNED LOOKING UP AT the roof of the fort, marveling at their work, and nodded. “ sometimes there’s lights too, but all the ones i have are burnt out. i’ve been meaning to pick more up not that the holidays are over. ” it really added to the atmosphere of it. though it made it unintentionally hipster he supposed. usually the lights weren’t exactly that people considered “aesthetically pleasing” because he preferred to go for greens and blues when he had the chance rather then a soft white. “ what movie were you thinking? ”

♘ FOR SALLY BECUASE THEY WOULD BE CUTE FRIENDS

JAY DUCKED HIS HEAD UNDER the sheet that made the roof and sides of the fort from behind him and sally to above the tv. he had a hap-hazard stack of blankets in his arms that was going to be added to the already dozen of blankets in the fort. “ yeah, we have so many forts and movie nights around here that i just have a lot of blankets, ” he said, shrugging a little. he set the blankets down before he plopped down on one of the couch cushions. “ if we need more, i have more. ”

the shirt dissolved away, which left the two of them even more alone together. she wasn’t really sure where they were supposed to go from there. pizza, she guessed, was a good start. “oh yes,” she said, sitting down onto the cushion. “fire is pretty permanent, you know,” she teased. of course, this didn’t mean jay was here forever. it didn’t really mean that marley was here forever either. they were still young, and who knew what the future held for either of them. marley still thought sometimes about moving to the city. like new york, or even paris. places that were made for young designers and entrepreneurs. it seemed impossible that she could achieve what she wanted in apple peak. but then again, she didn’t really want to leave here. apple peak was home, and she loved it.

she wanted to say that if anyone knew about jay and his distaste for long term decisions, it was her. she wanted to remind him that she was a big forever decision that he had turned down. but she didn’t. things didn’t need to get even more awkward, not just when they started to get normal. perhaps they would never have that conversation. maybe it would always loom over their heads and they would just continue mutually existing, or maybe it would soon all blow up and it was only a matter of time.

“you know me, i’m pretty much down for anything,” she told him, leaning back and pulling a pillow into her lap. “i’ve even been known to enjoy anchovies on my pizza now and then,” she smiled. “so you decide.”

JAY NEVER REALLY IMAGINED LEAVING but that was because he didn’t do much for thinking in the future. it’s not that he didn’t want to, it was just how he was. living by the seat of his pants and letting the now be the center of his thoughts. maybe it was his default because he was afraid. the future could always do so much to people. becoming an adult could always do so much to people. he supposed he was an adult now, but thinking like a responsible person would sometimes really messed this up. he wondered if his parents thought about the future.

maybe if he thought about the future and could plan so far ahead and be so ready to settle down and be sure, he’d have never had problems with marley. maybe they’d still be together. but he did his best to reason with himself that she was better off with someone that was ready to think about their future. he was surprised she hadn’t found that person yet. he always felt like he was the outlier in that department.

“once, i tried to order anchovies, and rich looked at me and was like ‘i always thought people liking them was a joke’ but he might have them now. ” he laughed a little before he shook his head. “ i mean i’ve never been opposed to something like mushrooms and pepperoni? ”

hearing that, he grins. that’s what he likes to hear. he’s quite proud. “what’d the cashier think?” it’s a funny thought, jay grabbing every single box of nerds and hauling them to the counter for pay. their candy-obsession definitely gets them weird looks from time to time, especially when they make the decision to buy the entire section out. sometimes it gets them a chuckle. their need for sugar is comical.

looking over the identical t-shirt, he’s once again mentally praising his friend for being able to think ahead. that’s one thing that pax is unable to do. each lost boy ( and pax himself ) has their own personality, their own abilities. they’re much more than a group of misfits, and pax’ll remind anyone and everyone. he thinks of them extraordinaire. “good thinkin’.”

the decision is easy, and it comes to him quick. which isn’t unusual. “let’s wait. it’ll be more fun with all’a us,” his arms cross, looking around the humble, woody area of their home. “how d’ya say we make it more fun?” his boastful and childish personality traits are often limiting to his range of thought and decision, but there’ll never be a day where he isn’t considerate about the opinions of his lost boys.

THERE WAS A LAUGH WHEN pax asked him what the cashier thought. they’d always gotten some weird looks by buying a whole section of candy. and once in a while the look came with a comment so it was only natural pax wondered. “ he thought i had the munchies or something, ” he said, laughing some more. “ i thought about messing with him some over it, but i didn’t wanna waste time. ” maybe they’d all take a little road trip just to personally mess with the guy.

he nodded a bit when he complimented his thinking. “ thank you, i was hoping so. i’d of thought maybe we could’ve roasted marshmallows and hot dogs over them, but i’m also not sure what the shirt fumes will do. ” he was sure it wasn’t toxic or anything, but it would be best with just regular wood and not shirts.

“ you’re right and it’ll just be one big funfire! ” the image he was getting in his head was just getting more and more perfect. exactly what he needed when he got home. a night with pax and noah just like always. “ i say it’s perfect. i’m thinking one of those logs with color changing fire and maybe some sparklers. there’s gotta be some around somewhere. ”

he walked over to her. there was something weird about standing there next to him. her hands were clasped in front of her, they were a sort of awkward distance apart. it all felt very purposeful, and very unnatural. her body felt lighter though when she heard the familiar comedic tone in his voice. he turned to the fire, holding up the shirt in front of him as he gave a playful speech. she smiled to herself as he spoke, trying not to laugh and ruin the artificially solemn moment. she understandably took the shirt from him, taking a few steps forward closer to the fireplace.

she paused for a moment, looking down at the shirt in her hands with bold letters on the front. of course it was just a shirt, but it symbolized the possibility of jay leaving apple peak, of running away to some other life with some other people. it symbolized a lot of what they had argued about all those years ago. marley moving to the city, jay leaving for college. but now, three years later they were both still here, standing there in her living room, together again. she smiled softly before throwing the shirt into the fire and watched as it quickly went up in flames. she turned back to look at him.

“welcome back, shaw,” she said with a small smile. “now you’re stuck here forever so i hope you made the right choice,” she teased as she moved back towards the couch.

THE FLAMES LICKED AWAY AT the shirt as soon as it ended up in the fire. it felt good. the five dollars on sale it was and all. maybe he should’ve kept one in commemoration, but then again, it would’ve been like he was holding onto something for no reason. he was getting past the little impromptu college visit he took. he was getting past thinking he’d ever leave this place. because that was dumb of him to think he would ever do that.

he let out a nose laugh, watching the last bit of shirt disappear. this wasn’t the first of the shirts he’d watched burn, but it was the last and the most final. a smile settled on his face as he turned to face marley. he watched her walk over to the couch for a moment. after all this time, here they were in her living room laughing over something stupid he’d done or almost done. and they were there together and it was strange that everything lead up to this.

“ oh so that was one of those binding contract burnings? ” he asked, looking back at the fire one last time before he followed her over to the couch. “ you know, i think i made the right choice. normally final, stuck with the decision forever, choices leave a weird feeling in my stomach. ” someone could say it was because he really wasn’t there forever, but he knew that wasn’t it.

“ so pizza. what toppings?”

Moments like those were something Stella really enjoyed overall. She loved spending time with friends just hanging out and talk about the most random things. “ I feel having a title as that, deserves a badge or something. ” She joked, once again erupting into a fit of giggles. Stella found solace in sharing a similar experience with another. It wasn’t much of an everyday thing since the girl often felt out of place with those around her. “ That sucks, man. Wait- you’re also a hot chocolate lover as well?? That’s wicked amazing!! I honestly despise the flavor of coffee. That’s if it isn’t in a frappe with a bunch of sugar. ”

JAY KNEW IT WAS A joke, but he still started pondering it anyway. “ i’m sure we could make one somehow. if not, i’m sure someone else can. ” because really that sort of title did deserve a badge because otherwise people might not know about it right away. “ of course i am! i’m the same way though. you’d think working at a coffee place would change that, or at least that’s what everyone said, but nope. hot coco, sometimes with peppermint. i also have been convinced into chai tea too. ”

PAX && JAY HEADCANON

there’s a lot to say about pax and jay, like their love for chocolate causing them to get creative at work or even the classic night of how them and the rest of the lost boys ran away out to the woods. but jay would definitely follow pax into any scheme no matter what it is and it is guaranteed to always be what he considers to be the best decision. to him pax is golden and he’s not going to pretend and not know he can be overwhelming to people, but he thinks they just aren’t taking the right amount of time to know his friend the way he knows him.
