Brooklyn swallowed hard at the man’s easy charisma. “I’m not sure he’d want me here… with you…” he said almost as a question, betraying his inner thoughts about how startlingly attractive Brooklyn found him.

"Generosity is a practical expression of love "

[brooklyn-bane]

“So are you saying you love me?” Brooklyn asked, mostly as a challenge but with a just the slightest gleam of hope. He smirked slightly.

[slvttybvys]

“I don’t get why you stay with him,” Reese blurted without thought to his best friend. His best friend he may feel more than just friendly love for, but this wasn’t jealousy. Reese just wanted the other man happy and it was clear his current boyfriend made him miserable. “He treats you like shit. You deserve so much better.”

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn was too used to making excuses—defending the man who hurt him over and over and over again. It was almost second nature to snap at those who questioned him. “You just don’t understand.” He huffed, only half-buying his own story. “You don’t see how good he is to me when he’s… you’ll just never think anyone is good enough for me.” He tried to dismiss the dispute, but he knew his friend would never let this go.

There was a brief pause as Brooklyn met his best friend’s eye. He had been in love with Reese for as long as he could remember but he had long since dismissed any notion that they may end up together. Reese was far and beyond what Brooklyn believed he deserved and he had to move on, so it didn’t hurt quite as much. Granted, Charles may have been the wrong person to latch onto, but he was there, and Brooklyn liked feeling wanted. “Why do you even care?” Exhausted from his own mental struggle, the words came out more resigned than he meant them to, but he didn’t bother fix it.

Muse: Jasper Hale, OTA 

“You know darlin if you keep coming over just to see little old me, people are gonna start thinking you feel a certain way about me”  Jasper Hale’s southern tang teased along the room which, he might have been amping up a little just for the effect he knew it had on the other. Not that he’d admit it though as he placed a bottle of wine onto the table in front of him before he walked around the table to peer over at the other.  It wasn’t like it was all that unexpected to have the other around the Cullen house- how could it be? It was more just the other had seeked him out in partiular when he could have gone to literally anyone else in the family. 

“So- what do you need?”  It was a simple enough question as those amber eyes danced over at the other with a little smirk. The version of him that would freak out and attack at the meer idea of taking a drop of blood wasn’t even a shadow of him if you looked at him proper- all that stood was a confident, teasing, somewhat charming vampire.  

“Or do you just like my company pretty boy?” 

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn tried to calm his incessant nerves, picking lightly at the skin at the edge of his thumbnail. The word “darlin” played in his head over and over in Jasper’s voice. In fact, he had almost disassociated from the rest of the conversation, but how could he? Not with that face, those amber eyes, that voice that tickled the back of Brooklyn’s neck while placing a conforming warmth around his chest. It was almost as if the wavelengths of the sound were a cure to anxiety, the ease on the pull in his chest. And yet, his hands were still slightly shaking. Of course Brooklyn had sought out Jasper because he was drawn to him, because he was attracted to him, because he wanted him, but he wasn’t without his practical reasons.

“Well, I thought—could you—I’m having trouble controlling certain… urges.” Brooklyn said, begrudgingly. He wasn’t one to ask for help, and certainly he didn’t want to ask Jasper. It felt weak. It felt desperate. But all he wanted was to be close to him, so he continued, “I was hoping you could help me…?”

Brooklyn slowly rubbed his thumb over the man’s thigh as he reacted. He was glad that Luka was happy. It made everything worth it. He chuckled at the man. “I always want to kiss you.” He leaned forwards and planted another one on Luka’s lips. His eyes went red as he was backing away and whipped cream flew from the table onto Luka’s face. “Oops!” He said with a mischievous smile.

Luka hummed happily at Brooklyn’s words and kissed him back, and before he could even say how much he loved kissing the man in front of him, he caught the flash of red in his eyes and then felt a splatter on his face. He gasped, mostly because it startled him and he wiped a bit off to see what it was. Whipped cream. He started laughing and waved a hand like he would have when he was still a ghost and before he could stop to remember he was human, the whipped cream actually responded by exploding and getting whipped cream everywhere, including on Brooklyn. Hades had told Brooklyn during the test that he would throw in some perks for Luka during the resurrection. He still had his ghostly powers like telekinesis, teleporting, invisibility, cryokinesis, and electrokinesis. All of it was contained in his now human body, and Luka just sat there, looking from the dish to Brooklyn. “Why… I forgot that I wasn’t a ghost for a second so I went to use my ghost abilities… but I still have them. But that’s never happened before. Did… Did I get powers from Hades?”

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn laughed, covered in whipped cream and licked his upper lip. “It looks like Hades gave us both some upgrades.” Then, he waved his hand and the whipped cream faded into a red smoke that vanished into thin air. “Where is a god when you wanna thank him, am I right?” He examined Luka. “I wonder if you can do anything else. I mean, you didn’t get this awesome tattoo, so I feel like I’m the favorite here.” He teased with a chuckle. “What other sorts of things could you do as a ghost that you might have retained?”

[tricky-tricky-boys]

Luka laughed as he watched the mess vanish. “Looks like it.” He smiled and looked over to the couch, and as soon as he thought about phasing out to appear on the couch, he was gone in a swirl of sunset orange smoke. He reappeared on the couch in another swirl of the orange smoke and he giggled giddily. “Teleportation’s one. Telekinesis was another. Umm… Invisibility?” No sooner had he said it, his body disappeared and he started laughing when he reappeared. “This is SO COOL!” He laughed and looked around. “Umm… Cryokinesis was next.” He took in a deep breath and held out his hands, trying to pull the heat from the air. It worked a little too well. The walls started to get iced over, and the glass from the windows was frosting too. He stopped and the ice slowly started to recede. “That’s… a scary one. Umm… Electrokinesis? That sounds dangerous so I don’t wanna do that in the house.”

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn watched at Luka flashed across the room. He smiled softly as the man wen transparent and all he could see was the aura left behind. When the room went cold, he looked around. It definitely seemed at though Brooklyn wasn’t the only one with a newfound power. Ever seeking knowledge, Brooklyn started daydreaming the things that they could do together. With the combination of their powers, there was really no stopping them. He chuckled at Luka’s hesitancy to try his electrokinesis. “Seems like Hades did us more than one favor.” He walked towards Luka and held out his hand to grab his. Still freezing, Brooklyn magically warmed his own hand, and with a small sizzle, a thin line of steam rose from their hands. “Fire and Ice.”

The man was like a work of art to Brooklyn. Ever since they met, his life had felt a bit unreal, but he sunk into the feeling with ease. If this was just a fantasy, it was a fantasy he would give everything else for. He studied each aspect of Joel’s face, the way that his eyes scrunched at the ends when he smiled, the curve of his eyebrows, the wild and yet tamed waves of hair coming down to his ear, like they were crashing onto the shore of his jawline. Brooklyn was unwillingly, unwaveringly in love. “It only makes sense.” He responded, “Because the only man I’d ever fall for, is you.”

Joel and Brooklyn’s life together had been a whirlwind life and love story. He loved writing about him, including him in every story. They were intertwined in love and so they were going to be intertwined in the stories that Joel wove. “Oh, Brooklyn… I love you so much. I am so happy to have you in my life. You make me so happy. Always and forever.” He purred, kissing the raven-haired beauty.

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn leaned into the kiss, and then nuzzled his head into the man’s chest. “Forever and always.” he whispered in response. “You make me happier than I ever could have imagined, you know that?” And it was true. Nothing had ever made Brooklyn as happy as Joel. They were the perfect fit, and he wanted  more of a future with him. “Do you...” He trailed off, a bit nervous, “Do you think you would be ready for kids?” He always imagined little Joels running around grabbing at their ankles driving them both nuts, and he wanted nothing more.

Brooklyn looked at their hands and smiled in reflex. He knew that he was happy, externally, he wanted this, but something felt off. Something wasn’t connected, not fully. He knew he wanted Luka, but he didn’t feel it exactly the same way as before. Whatever it was, he was sure that it would pass and things would go back to normal. He looked up at Luka and pulled a stand of har out of his face. “Of course I want you around. You’re all that matters. What happened is in the past, it doesn’t matter anymore.” He leaned forward, placing a light kiss on Luka’s lips. “I like being here too.”

Luka felt tears welling in his eyes when the other pushed some hair out of his face and spoke to him. The words made him happy, and he definitely returned the gentle kiss. “I’m glad. Thank you for saying that, Brooklyn. It…” He felt a tear go down his face when he blinked and he wiped it away. “Whoa, I forgot what that felt like. It’s a happy cry, I promise. I just… No one has ever thought that about me, and since it’s coming from you… with everything you’ve done for me… It’s just reason for me to be emotional, I guess. We should eat, yeah? Unless you want to give me another kiss?”

Brooklyn couldn’t help but smile, and smile wide. “Me? A prince?!” He grabbed the back of Joel’s head and held their lips together for a moment. “I can’t believe I would inspire royalty.” He chuckled a little.

So who’s this scrappy pauper that catches my eye?”

Joel grinned and pressed a kiss to Broklyn’s lips, holding his lover close to his body. “Well, I was thinking I might write myself in to the story, hm? What do you think?” He asked softly, running his hands through Brooklyn’s hair.

“Oh don’t worry.” Brooklyn said, still giddy. “You can leave.” He sipped his coffee again, and then set down his cup and magically moved his chair closer to Luka, placing a hand on his knee. “I’m different now Luka. I’m a hundred times more powerful- I mean, I’m still not Hades, but if I could sustain your physical form for hours at a time before with my old powers….” Brooklyn looked deeply into Luka’s eyes. “You’ll never have to worry about being whole again, Luka. I’ll make sure of it. You get your life back.” It was the one good thing that had come out of all of Brooklyn’s turmoil, so he was going to make sure it didn’t crack. Luka was the source of his soul now. Without his innocence, his light, Brooklyn might completely lose himself.

Luka smiled when Brooklyn brought his chair closer and placed a hand over his thigh, and he placed his hand over the hybrid’s. “I know. I just… I want to know that you’re okay too. And… I don’t want my old life. That’s long gone. My family… I can’t return to them after forty years. I want a life with you. You’ve done so much for me, even doing this… however you did it. I… If you don’t want to talk about what happened, I understand. I just want you to know that if you still want me around… I want to be here. With you. Whatever happened, I want you to know that I am grateful to be alive again, so that I can hold your hand like this. So I can hold you while we sleep. So we can eat breakfast together.” He smiled and squeezed Brooklyn’s hand gently, trying to be reassuring. “I like being here. With you.”

Brooklyn smiled widely and pulled Luka to the table. He sat down, and methodically picked a plate, making sure that none of the foods came close to touching. “I hope its good. I don’t usually do food magic, but I think I got the hang of it.” He said as he snapped his fingers, and a silver pot in the middle of the table rose up on its own, flew through the air and started filling Brooklyn’s cup. “Coffee?” He asked. Brooklyn would kill anyone that told him this, but it was the most like his father that he had ever been. 

Luka watched as Brooklyn buzzed about a mile a minute and he sat down next to him. It was almost disorienting, but if Brooklyn was using this to deal with whatever he went through, then he could be supportive. He smiled when he saw the coffee being poured and he nodded. “Yeah, sure. Might as well try everything, right?” He grinned and looked at the pot. “Do you think I’m actually able to leave the house now that I’m alive? Or do you think I’m still bound? If I can leave, then we should go somewhere. You can show me around and tell me stuff that’s changed since the 70′s.”

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn slowly sipped on coffee as the pot floated over to Luka and filled his mug. “That sounds like a great idea.” He said, smiling warmly. “Although, I gotta warn you, the world kind of sucks compared to the 70s.” Brooklyn raised his eyebrows. “In fact, the 80s were the peak of human existence.” Brooklyn always had a soft spot for the 80s for some reason. He wasn’t as fond of the technological age. “I have to show you what they’ve done with discos! Truly appalling.” He almost shivered a the thought of it. 

[tricky-tricky-boys]

Luka laughed at Brooklyn’s critique of the world’s changes. “Well, first we need to figure out if I can even leave the house.” He took a sip of the coffee and groaned. It was his first taste of anything, and he was enraptured. “I mean, I saw a little bit of the 80′s. There was a family that lived here in the 80′s. They were spooked because they heard about my death. Their youngest was able to see me, and they lived here for about two years before moving out. They had a teen daughter and she blasted music all they time. I liked the music back then. It was so fun.” He paused. “Discos? I heard it died a long time ago.”

[brooklyn-bane]

“Oh don’t worry.” Brooklyn said, still giddy. “You can leave.” He sipped his coffee again, and then set down his cup and magically moved his chair closer to Luka, placing a hand on his knee. “I’m different now Luka.

Brooklyn sighed as he threw on his seatbelt. “Honestly, he is the dumbest smart person I know. He’s gonna get himself killed one day, and I’m going to find a way to revive him just so I can kill him again!” Brooklyn took a deep breath. “Thank you for coming. I don’t know why he is always doing this to me. I’m constantly worried about him.”

Dannie was the friend that had become Brooklyn’s sounding board. There was no filter with her, no shut off valve, just stream of consciousness, but nevertheless he never felt like she didn’t;t accept him for exactly and totally who he was.

Dannie arched an eyebrow as she listened to her friend’s rant. Her lips twitched with a hint of a smile. I’ll bring him back to life so I can kill him myself. It was a funny concept, but she totally understood where Brooklyn was coming from. She had felt that kind of love before, even if it hadn’t ended up working out in the end for her. “Honestly, Brooke, I don’t think he’s trying to do anything to you. He’s probably just thinking of himself.” Dannie didn’t actually know Zach all too well. The only times she had hung out with him, was when Brooklyn had brought him along to parties or to hangouts. He seemed like a nice enough guy, but Dannie sensed an underlying anger in Zach. She didn’t know the guys backstory, but she could guess that it wasn’t all sunshine and roses.

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn took a deep breath in and relaxed a little. “I know. I know.  You’re right. It just drives me crazy, thinking about him getting hurt.” He looked over at Dannie. “I mean, let’s be honest he’s lucky to have me.” Brooklyn broke a little too easily, a smile spreading across his face followed by a laugh. 

“How’s life on the love front for you?” He asked, intrigued, noticing that Dannie’s hair looked better than usual. It always looked good, but this was just a step above normal. “You’re hair looks good, today.” It could have been nothing, but either way, Brooklyn wanted to know.

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

“Well, that’s an understatement.” he chuckled. Something about that smile always made Brooklyn want to smile. He took a small step closer to the other man “So, you think I’m endearing then?…” He licked his bottom lip. “Do you think I’m cute too?” He looked at his shoes half flirtatiously and half nervous, because it was his perpetual state of being.

Zach laughed and scrunched his nose when Brooklyn said that not being able to call Zach normal was an understatement. “Watch it, Buster, I’m not weirder than you are,” he joked. Then Brooklyn continued to close the space between them. Zach smiled, arching an eyebrow when the other man looked away. “Cute?” He looked up, pondering the question. “I think sexy is a better dyscriptor.”

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn smiled, looking back up at the man. “Well, that’s a relief.” He grabbed his own arm with the other, and came within centimeters of Zach’s face with his own. “Because, I’ve been harboring a secret.” He played, continuing to lean forward slowly until their lips were almost touching “I think you are the sexiest man I’ve ever met.”

Brooklyn popped out of his seat like an actor out of Singing in the Rain. He went straight over to Luka, grabbing one of his hands and completely ignoring the fact that he was trying to cover up. He interlaced his fingers with Luka’s. “I’m so sorry you’re so wet. Here.” His eyes went red, and a warmth took over Luka, like a personal heater. Within a few moments, he was completely dry. “I didn’t sleep, but I’ve never felt better! Honestly, I don’t think I need to sleep anymore. It’s like I have this permanent adrenaline running through me. It feels amazing.” He kissed Luka on the cheek. “Breakfast sounds great! What should we make. How does waffles sound? Oh, or bacon! Let’s go crazy and do both.” He dragged Luka out of the bedroom door, and to the kitchen, where a whole feast was laid out on the table. Brooklyn looked down, and all the sudden he was dressed in a short sleeve denim button up, and peach dolphin shorts. He gave Luka a much more preppy look. “Do you like it? I can change it. What do you want?”

This was… strange. Brooklyn seemed so… fragile last night when they went to bed. Maybe this was an after-effect of whatever Hades did. He let Brooklyn take his hand and interlace their fingers, and he smiled up until he felt the magick warmth rolling over him and then he was dry again. His morning wood had died down by now, so he just held onto Brooklyn’s hand and listened while he rattled on. Permanent adrenaline? They’d see how long that lasted. He needed to be there if that adrenaline crashed. The kiss to his cheek made him smile and he nodded as he was dragged along. “Both sounds great. It’s been forty-plus years since I’ve eaten anything, so I-” He stopped when he saw a whole spread on the table and he raised his brows. “Wow. This is quite the spread, Brooklyn.” He looked down when there were suddenly clothes on him and he laughed. “Preppy. Nice. It’s fine. Let’s just sit down and eat. I can actually smell again, and it’s absolutely amazing.”

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn smiled widely and pulled Luka to the table. He sat down, and methodically picked a plate, making sure that none of the foods came close to touching. “I hope its good. I don’t usually do food magic, but I think I got the hang of it.” He said as he snapped his fingers, and a silver pot in the middle of the table rose up on its own, flew through the air and started filling Brooklyn’s cup. “Coffee?” He asked.

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

Justin had just been turned down, but he didn’t let that get to him, instead he smiled at the other. “Yeah, I probably deserved that,” he said with a shrug. “That wasn’t my best pick up line.”

[brooklyn-bane]

Brooklyn wasn’t one to turn someone down that showed an interest. He was usually too nice and let the meeting play out before politely taking a number he didn’t want and leaving. Then again, he wasn’t that used to being picked up in the first place, and definitely not used to someone so attractive, but he was right, it definitely wasn't a good pick up line. “Maybe you should try a better one.” Brooklyn teased, feeling a little empowered by the situation.
