Was he… rambling? Stretching his sentence longer and longer just to get everything out? Daisy was predictably nervous, but she had to admit, this definitely calmed her nerves a bit to think that he was just as nervous as she was. She’d follow her impulse and not think too much about it. She’d just say the first thing that came to her mind. “Yes.” And so it was. She pressed her lips together, almost in disbelief that she’d said it. “To the date…” she nodded her head as reassurance, “Not to the hanging out as friends thing, though that’s not bad either.”

When she said yes and clarified it was to the date he smiled widely, “Okay..okay, we can go on a date.” He said happily, his heart racing. “Can I hug you?” He asked, wanting to make sure she’d be okay with it first.

DAISY -> DIMITRI

“Because I think you’re beautiful and..we always have good conversation, I like you, I feel drawn to you. I’d like to get to know you better, take you out somewhere nice, the works.” He admitted, “If you don’t want to that’s fine, there’s no pressure, it doesn’t even have to be a date. We can just hang out as friends some more if that’s what you’d prefer.” He smiled, heart racing a bit nervously but he remained calm and collected, a soft smile never leaving his face.

Her gaze only faltered from the little dolphin back up to Dimitri with a smile before she took it into her hands. “No, this is great,” she assured him, “I’m just glad you didn’t deduce that my favorite color is cashmere or something like that.” She hugged it to her chest, pressing her cheek against the soft fabric to take in the texture before she looked back to the dolphin in the tank. “This one’s Paradise,” she informed him with stars in her eyes, “Her brother over there? That’s Alpha… I think the glass might make it hard for them to make out our figures, but if we were in there with them, they’d be able to get to know us better…”

Lauging softly Dimitri nodded, looking at the two dolphins swimming around in the tank. Smiling he nodded, “Wouldn’t it be cool to be in there with them?” He asked softly, shifting a little closer before glancing at her. “I was thinking...maybe you’d wanna go out with me sometime, like on a date. You don’t have to say yes, you can think about it if you want.”

The Beacon Hills Aquarium was rarely filled with visitors, all except for Daisy. She would find herself sitting on the bench in the completely dark room, facing the dolphin tank just in front of her, surrounded by nothing but the blue waters, the ripples reflecting off of her face as she sat there and scribbled, writing poems, attempting to draw anatomically correct Spotted Dolphin. Yes, the sound of a voice disturbed her a bit, but more out of shock. She must have been sitting in the quiet for hours when Dimitri’s figure came out from the shadows into the blue light. 

“Dimitri, hey…” It didn’t feel like she was putting on a show, her tone natural and soft. For whatever reason, she couldn’t explain why she’d felt so comfortable with him. Maybe because she felt like he wasn’t preying on her, or he didn’t have any ulterior motives than to just sit and talk. She liked that about him. She moved her notebook to the side, patting the spot next to her as she caught a glimpse of the little stuffed bottlenose dolphin in his hand, “The bottlenose… common, but never a bad choice. The most hydrodynamic of the dolphins with the smoothest skin and the best fins for navigating tough waters…”

.

Hearing the random fact about dolphins was normal, natural even. Dimitri could sit and listen to Daisy talk about things for hours. “Yeah, I got it for you. I hope that’s okay. I thought about flowers, but I wasn’t sure what kind you liked. But I know you like dolphins, so it was an easy choice. They had other colors, but you like this color. I noticed that.” He murmured, cheeks flushing a bit as he smiled at her. 

He sat down and held the stuffed dolphin towards her, “You really like it here, I can see why.” He admitted, looking towards the tank and just watching the dolphins swim by. Occasionally one or two of the pod seemed to stop and just watch them.

“Can they see us?”

Laura nodded, listening to him. But hearing how he claimed balance was restored, she lowered her head. Wasn’t that what Peter was claiming to do by murdering her? “And I assume you were the one to restore the balance.” She said, nodding at his eyes. 

“I didn’t seek it out, if that’s what you’re thinking. I went back to my hometown eventually, I found the ones who murdered my family coincidentally. Then I followed them and I took back the alpha spark. It wasn’t moral but..they murdered my family, I wanted revenge. But I didn’t originally seek it. The ones who killed my pack and stole the spark were risking exposure to the supernatural world and when I killed them it made things right in a way. Restored balance.”

She caught the scent of pain, and looked down. She could feel bad for him, but it didn’t justify what he was doing. It still felt wrong. “I’m sorry to hear about that. You wanna talk about it? Not that I’m forcing you to or anything. I don’t want to bring up old wounds.”

“It was years ago, she was at home with my pack. I was studying abroad. I...woke up one day with this...really bad feeling. I felt wrong. I called home and found out they were all gone.” He shrugged, “It was years ago, in the past. Besides, it was made right in the end. Balance restored.”

Closed starter for Daisy

Daisy had been coming to the bar a lot, just to talk about her day, about job interviews and the likes. Dimitri found it nice, refreshing. She brought a certain vibe to his daily life that sometimes, on the rare occasion he didn’t see her around it felt like his day was missing something. 

He stopped at the gift shop just inside of the aquarium, he knew he would find Daisy there. He didn’t know what kind of flowers she might prefer but he had an idea of something else he could gift her with. 

Purchasing a stuffed dolphin for her was an easy choice, it was a bit large but he’s sure she’d love it. At least he hoped she would. 

Spotting her across the way sitting in front of the dolphin tank and just watching them made his heart start to race as he smiled happily, hiding the dolphin behind his back he approached her from the side at an angle she could see him coming from so he didn’t scare her. 

“Hey Daisy.” He smiled warmly, “Mind if I join you?”

“I’m sure there’s more to you than that. Other hobbies, that kinda stuff.” She shrugged. After all, she thought bitterly, he had plenty of time to start building a pack in a small town where they were all trapped. As far as she was aware, he hadn’t spoken to anyone about it either, which made Laura instantly suspicious. She didn’t want a repeat of Peter. “Is your son’s mom going to be joining you in town at all?”

Dimitri’s heart clenched at the mention of Jeremiah’s mother, he stared down at the bar and shook his head, “She was killed when he was just a year old.” She’d been killed along with the rest of the pack, something Dimitri still has trouble thinking about without pain overwhelming him, the death of his entire pack still with him even years later.

“Are you sure? You practically live here, I figured you don’t have much of a social life outside of this place.” She shrugged, folding her cloth and slipping it back into her belt. She wasn’t sure what she could find out if he headed out, but there had to be something. “You must have better things to do. This place is taken care of, and I’m sure Allison doesn’t mind babysitting for a little longer.”

“I don’t really have a social life, no. I mostly just talk to Allison, people here at the bar, and take care of my son.” He admitted with a laugh, there was Erica, but he hadn’t hung out with her enough. He’d have to get to know her better since she was going to be a part of his pack now. He could always head out and give her a call to get to know her. Really know her. But as it was, she didn’t seem menacing, or like she had any bad intentions.

Laura had been taking a break at work, listening to the radio on her phone with her headphones plugged in. And when her music was rudely interrupted by a rogue signal, she was about to switch it off altogether… But then she heard her boss’ name. Her shoulders tensed up, and she glanced over, heading back onto shift. This was the exact thing she’d warned Scott about. The radio wasn’t playing in the bar, however, so she was sure that Dimitri had no idea what she knew. She hadn’t told him she was an Alpha werewolf, and she wasn’t about to now.

“Not too busy tonight, huh? You can clock off early if you need to, I’ve got things covered here.” Laura shrugged, wiping down the counter, keeping herself relaxed.

Looking up at Laura when she walked back in Dimi just smiled, “It’s not terrible no, I don’t really wanna leave early though. I don’t mind just hanging around though, I like it here believe it or not.” He laughed, looking around at the small amount of patrons littered about the bar.

“How’d you lose your pack?” She questioned. Erica didn’t want to jump with both feet in if the Alpha was incompetent as Derek. She needed something solid to stand on her own two feet. “No I’m pretty sure most of my friends will stay loyal to the McCall pack.” She explained. 

.

“They were killed by rogue wolves looking for power.” He said simply, “I wasn’t an alpha at that time, I was a beta and out of country with my son. After I got back, I found the ones who did it.” He flashed his crimson eyes again as proof of what he’d done, taking back the alpha power. 

Like he hadn’t sought a pack he hadn’t sought the power, but it was his, and well deserved. “That’s fine, I’m not trying to steal anyone away from another pack. Just didn’t know if you had friends who needed an alpha as well.” He smiled. 

[delightfulredeyes]

madaf-erica​:

Erica tucked her hands into the leather jacket she had stolen. “Oo aren’t you cocky,” She flashed him a wicked smile. “It’s a bit of both. You see, I’m packless and I don’t think I’ve seen you with any betas of your own. So I want to see if we can form a pack.” She wasn’t trying to beat around the bush. Erica was actively trying to avoid asking the man to take her in. She felt like a child begging for someone to call her alpha. It went everything against who she was as a person, but everything her inner wolf wanted her to be. 

“I don’t have a pack, not that I don’t want one. I lost mine a while back, but I’m open to forming a new one.” He murmured as he looked at her. “Is it just you or do you have friends that you’re asking for as well?”

[delightfulredeyes]

madaf-erica​:

Erica had been actively searching for a new pack. While McCall’s pack was the dominating force among Beacon Hills there were plenty wolves still in town. Many, of whom, were packless like her. The only Alpha she had met was Peter. The man made it perfectly clear that he couldn’t recruit due to a deal he made with the McCall’s pack. She had suspected Dimitri. Erica didn’t know him, and he didn’t know her, but she had an inkling he was an Alpha. 

For a few days she followed him from afar. It was ridiculous that she had to chase down an Alpha, but times were a lot different. The barrier and influx of mystical beings had Erica doing things backwards. “I don’t mean to fight you,” Erica held her hands up. The final nail in the coffin, she finally saw his red eyes. 

Erica’s eyes flashed a golden hue, but she kept her hands up to show she meant no harm. “I just want to talk, and I think you would like to listen.” She weakly chuckled. Her eyes went back to their normal shade of brown. “I’m Erica,” She introduced herself. Erica still kept a fair distance between her an the alpha. 

Seeing golden eyes flash at him made him pause, raising a brow he smirked at her words. “Dimitri, I’m listening, what is it you’ve come to ask and or offer?” He studied the girl, he didn’t recognize her. Though he had a feeling she had been the person he’d felt following him. It had been the reason he’d been out here in the woods alone after all, he knew the person would reveal themselves eventually.

Closed starter for Erica

Dimitri missed having a pack, he missed that close connection each full moon, knowing he had his family beside him. It killed him each time he looked at his son, unable to give him that bond he’d had as a child. Knowing that a pack bond was important to a wolf. Especially to one as young as his son. 

He wasn’t actively searching, not really. He’d promised Allison that he wouldn’t go recruiting.

But that didn’t mean he didn’t want one, behind him a branch cracked, pulling him from his thoughts. From the scent he could tell it was another wolf, turning to face it his eyes flashed crimson in case the other was a threat.

“A plate of mozzarella sticks and something fruity, please,” Daisy sighed as she slid into the chair at the bar, recognizing her friend from the last time she was there, “I didn’t get the job… but it was fun pretending I had a shot for a little while.”

“Coming right up.” Dimitri murmured as he sent someone to grab the mozzarella sticks while he made Daisy a low alcohol fruity cocktail. “You’ll get it next time, you’ve got charm. Also you’re cute, so you’ve got that going for you.” He winked as he handed her the drink.

Daisy wasn’t even sure if he’d recognize her, if her small stature would even be noticed in a place that was full of people. She wasn’t even sure if she’d recognize him if he came walking her way. She didn’t have the confidence of the mask anymore (not that it gave her that much confidence anyway) and as a shield instead, she buried her nose into the menu, pretending to be interested in drinking when someone approached her. “What kind of beer do you recommend for someone who doesn’t like beer?”

.

Dimitri gave the woman a once over, he recognized her from their brief meeting in the park, when she’d been sprawled out on the ground as if she were dead. She hadn’t been though, good news at least. 

She also seemed a bit more familiar now, a flash of a memory from the ball, dancing with someone. 

Now he studied her closely, taking in her appearance, her question about what he might recommend for someone who doesn’t like beer. Without a word he began making her a drink, offering her a quick smile and a wink. 

“I think I have an idea.” He said softly. 

He made a simple mojito, substituting the rum for ginger beer instead. He also added an extremely small dash of smoky habanero hot sauce to bring the drink all together. A balance of sweet and smoky. 

Pushing the drink towards her he put in a tiny straw and then handed her a bowl of peanuts. “All yours.” He smiled.

“I can certainly make that happen.” He laughed, pulling out a bottle and making a strong handed cocktail before handing it to the other. “There you go.”
