BEAU.

beau immediately clicked with the girl the moment he met her but not in the way that he’d hoped. he realized that he liked her better as a friend and that was okay. the boy needed a close friend and it was kinda sad he didn’t have one before now but he decided against thinking about it too much. once he finally got off his morning shift, he went home and changed into some christmas pajamas - one’s he had to wear or she was going to refuse to let him in. he couldn’t even remember the last time he wore these and he was almost positive his mom gifted these to him years ago. he drover over to her house when he was ready and then knocked on her door when he made it there, smiling softly at the girl. “hey.” he stepped in. “what kind of cookies?”

“oh, look at you, you look so cute!” amethyst said, ushering beau inside so they could go straight to the kitchen. “sugar cookies, obvi.” what was christmas without sugar cookies? sad, it what it was. “are you ready to start baking?” she asked, opening the fridge and getting a few things out.

BLAINE.

blaine was still curious as to what those questions were but he figured that since she was into him and he was into her, he’d find out sooner than later. and he was right. he looked at his phone as it buzzed and took his attention away from his laptop. he immediately smiled and shot her a text back, “i’m free tonight. when should i meet you there?” he replied.

smiling from ear to ear, amethyst immediately replied. “7? we could see the new spider man movie and grab some food after if u want to.” not waiting for a response, amethyst rushed to the bathroom to start curling her hair. it was long and thick and curling it took a while, so she didn’t usually put in the effort, but blaine seemed worth the effort. she wondered if he was her soulmate... and she wondered if her feelings would change if he wasn’t. she didn’t think so.

amethyst had only lived on the island for a few weeks, but she had always been quite the social butterfly. she had particularly clicked with beau, who she’d matched with on tinder when she first got here. they quickly realized they were better suited for friendship, and now hung out almost daily. she’d invited him over that night to watch some stupid christmas movies and bake cookies, and she had just finished putting on her christmas pajamas (she’d told beau to come wearing christmas pajamas or she wouldn’t let him in) when she heard a knock on the door. “hey babe!” she said affectionately, swinging the door open. “come on in. i’ve got the kitchen all set up for cookie baking.”

@blcinefck

after their phone conversation had ended abruptly (amethyst’s cell service was horrific on anteros, she’d learned), she didn’t have the answers to the questions she had. however, she still had a date, and that was good enough for her. not one for making a ton of plans ahead of time, she sent blaine a text saying “hey! u free tonight? wanna see a movie? :)” and waited for a response, sitting next to her phone, trying to will it to vibrate with a response.

CLAIRE.

“So, I’m starting to feel a little sad, right? I want to get this puppy-Look.” Claire says showing the person a picture of an Australian Shepherd puppy.”-Cutest thing,right? Well These breeds are rather high maintenance to begin with let alone as a Pup. I feel like I won’t have enough time to love and care for her like she needs-but look at that face!”

amethyst melted. she loved puppies, and wanted to adopt every single one she saw. “do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend or sibling or friend, honey? shit, i’ll even help you take care of her. you need her. she needs you. you have to get her.”

SCARLETT.

Scarlett let out a sigh in relief when she saw the woman’s carefree reaction. With papers fluttering through the air and other things scattered on the ground, it was definitely a funny sight, but also one that could end up potentially disastrous. “I really need to stop walking so close to building corners,” she said, shaking her head to herself before bending down to pick up a few fallen things. “I’m okay. Again, I’m sorry. I hope everything is still in the right order.”

amethyst brushed it off, stacking her papers into a pile. “they were really never in any order,” she remarked with a slight laugh. “and i got all of them, so it’s fine... but yeah, you should stop walking so close to building corners. that’s just an accident waiting to happen.”

[cmethyst]

BLAINE.

blaine nodded his head, making a mental note to look it up at a later time. “there’s always next year.” he replied, a smile on his face as she tucked his card into her pocket. he hoped he would hear from her again but he knew he’d have to wait to find out.

blaine always answered unknown callers because he figured that they were wanting his business but when she spoke, a smile grew over his face. “hey, amethyst. i was hoping i’d hear from you again.” he spoke up, his fingers running through his hair. “well, i also thought you were really cute and really nice, and so i’d love to see you again.”

amethyst smiled, twirling her hair in her fingers as she listened to him speak. his voice sounded like what spreading soft butter on toast felt like. “great. before we proceed, though, i have a couple questions for you. if that’s alright?” she trailed off, knowing her questions would take him a bit aback.

[cmethyst]

GABE.

“i don’t know but i feel like if i don’t ask then she might now be happy but if i’m going to adopt a puppy, i want to surprise her.” gabe lifted his shoulders up in a shrug. “you’re probably right and our schedules are usually opposite so one of us will be home while the other isn’t.”

“you should consult her,” amethyst said. “but maybe do it as a hypothetical... say your friend is considering buying a puppy and describe your circumstances. i’ll vouch for you to her, if you need.” she smiled. “then it’ll still be a surprise, but you’ll know if it’s a bad idea.”

[cmethyst]

PRESLEY.

“Right…” He said shrugging it off, he really didn’t care, he was just offering the replacement as something nice. “Yeah it is I guess. He said looking around and tossing the coffee that was now useless to the both of them now. He turned back to her and rose a brow. “Yeah, well, I’m Presley, next time I’ll know to always check the name on the cup. I get just a black coffee, it’s simple.”

“presley. nice to meet you.” she smiled at him, her previous animosity disappearing. she held up a finger to signify that she’d be back in one second, and walked over to the counter. “hi, do you have a black coffee for presley? he’s been waiting for hours and... i don’t know if you know this... but presley is a very important person around this island and i’m sure you wouldn’t want to keep him waiting any longer.” as the barista hurried to fix the drink, she walked back to him. “there. shouldn’t be too much of a wait now.”

[cmethyst]

do you believe in soulmates?

“mmm... yes. but do i fully believe my soulmate and i are meant to be together? no. not if my soulmate isn’t blaine.”

[cmethyst]

What is your favorite drink?

“appletini. buy me one sometime, if you’re interested.”

[cmethyst]

What position do you usually sleep in?

“well, i’m not sure. i usually fall asleep on my right side and wake up in some random position.”

[cmethyst]

GABE.

“they’re having a pet adoption across town and i noticed it on my way here, and i’m trying to figure out if my sister would be upset if i brought home a puppy.” gabe spoke, just starting up a conversation with the nearest person as he stood in line at the coffee shop. he hardly knew anyone here and needed to attempt to make friends, other than the people he worked with. “i just think it’d be a nice touch to our home but i’m also on the fence about it because we both work twelve hour days and puppies need a lot of attention.” he added, a sigh slipping past his lips.

“who would be upset about a puppy?” amethyst asked. she honestly couldn’t imagine a world where someone bringing her home a puppy was a bad thing. “if you needed help looking after a puppy i'm sure there are dog-walkers around here.”

[cmethyst]

BLAINE.

“so, what would you have picked if it were up to you?” blaine questioned, tilting his head to one side in curiosity. he realized that he didn’t have to tell her to smile. the girl had basically been smiling the whole time but it was like a warning. to just let her know what was about to happen. “right.” he pursed his lips and then felt a smile tug at his lips as she asked for his number. “oh, yeah. of course. i actually have a card.” 

amethyst got up, walking towards the man. “i would have picked rumors, by neil simon. it’s funny and much more age appropriate for middle school.” she took his card, and gently tucked it into her pocket. “you can be expecting a call from me soon, blaine.” she smiled at him and walked away.

later that week, she took the card out of her pocket, finally working up the courage to dial the numbers and call him. “hi, this is amethyst colombo, we met at the middle school the other day and i asked for your number under the guise of you taking pictures for my show but really, it’s just because i thought you were really cute and really nice and i wanted to see you again.”

SCARLETT.

Scarlett spent most of her time walking up and down the streets of the Island. It had been two weeks since she’d settled into her little apartment and so far, the only places she knew how to get to were the grocery store, pharmacy and the bakery. Everything else was still a mystery, including the people. As a child Scar had always been told that she needed to open up and step out of her comfort zone. Now, at 25, she finally did it. The island was far far far away from her comfort zone and she had no choice but to face what was in front of her.

As she turned a street corner, Scarlett felt another body crash into her. “I’m so sorry!” she exclaimed as she quickly stepped back to asses the damage. “Are you okay?”>

“oh, goodness!” amethyst said, dropping her materials. she’d brought papers from school home to grade, and while her collision with the other woman hadn’t caused any injuries, the papers were everywhere. she chased them down, catching a few in midair and picking up the rest, before laughing at how insane the situation was. “i’m fine, i’m fine. are you alright?”

[cmethyst]

FALLON.

Fighting wasn’t something that Fallon usually set out to go do, it was usually Presley. He went out looking for a fight when he didn’t want to talk about his problems, when he just wanted to punch someone and forget about what was on his mind. After he left Sid’s place in a huff and went home to find Presley not home he immediately left on his bike, knowing exactly where he could look for a fight.

On the other side of town there was a gang that had always disliked him and Presley, growing up their “leader” had always threw homophobic remarks at him, and the moment Presley punched him their little war began.

The moment he stepped foot on their “turf” the guy was there to greet him, and with no hesitation he threw the first punch. The fight lasted a short time before sirens could be heard coming towards them and they all scattered. There was a lot of fists thrown and he could tell he was going to have a black eye and he had a few cuts on his face, possibly a bruised rib by the feeling of it.

Fallon flinched as he hopped on his bike and rode into town, walking into a pharmacy to grab some bandages and pain killers. He was on his way out when someone bumped into him and he dropped his bag “fuck” he groaned in pain.

“oh, my god,” amethyst said, reaching down to pick up the other’s bag. she hadn’t been paying attention to where she was going, and was instead on her phone, when she bumped into someone. “are you okay? i didn’t mean to run into you...”

[cmethyst]

PRESLEY.

It hadn’t taken long before a girl had come up to him making sure he knew that she was having her coffee replaced and that he definitely was going to owe her another coffee. “Yeah, I said that.” He said raising a brow and looking back at the cup in his hand. “This is probably the worst thing I have ever tasted to be honest.” He wasn’t judging he just felt like it had to be said. He didn’t understand why coffee had to be made so complicated and added with all the extra sweeteners and creams. “So… you’re Amethyst, then?” He asked. “Sorry, about your coffee, they just took so fucking long I expected it had to be mine.” 

“no, i know. i was just clarifying that i don’t want it now, i want it in the future.” she rolled her eyes slightly, not having the patience to be polite to him. “good thing you’ve got your own coming, then, isn’t it?” she didn’t expect the conversation to continue beyond that point, but when it did, she let out a quiet sigh before plastering a hint of a smile on her face. “that’s me, amethyst. although i didn’t catch your name, since i didn’t take your coffee... and it’s no problem, really. what did you order?”
