That couldn’t be good. Giddeon saw the way the other man reacted, and almost swore. “Gus, hey, Gus-” He snapped his fingers and squatted down so he could scratch the side of his dog’s head. That quieted the borzoi almost instantly as his face was then washed and sniffed. “Sorry about him, he just gets excited with other people or anything that moves, really,” He said in a louder voice and at the other person.

“Um. It’s ok.” Jace murmured. Now the dog had quieted, it was ok, he supposed - he didn’t really want to go near it, but it really didn’t look like it was going to be dangerous, as the dog enthusiastically licked its owner’s face. “Um. I guess this... belongs to him. I didn’t... mean to take it.” This was a good experience for him - it had to be. He couldn’t be scared of everything forever, and if he was going to start somewhere, it might as well be with dogs.

“Gus, what’s gottin’ into you?” He asked for what felt like the sixth time since they started their walk. There was so much energy going on with that lanky body. The Borzoi panted and tried to gallop away, but the leash restricted the freedom to do so. They were on the way to the pet store to get another toy, but it took twice as long since Gu get running around his legs. Gideon almost tripped four times on the way, two more inside of the store when they got there, and then one more time when they got back out onto the street. There was a ball locked in the jaws of his dog.

The Borzoi had his tail up, proud and happy from the selection, and Gideon couldn’t help but smile at the sight. Then it faltered when he saw the dog try to bark. The ball fell from Gus’ mouth and went bouncing away. “Dang it-” He lurched forward to try and grab it, but he felt short and stumbled. His eyes were on the escaping toy, and he saw a pair of feet just ahead. “Hey, can you grab that?” Gus kicked up with the barking and strained to get the ball, but he held the dog back as he tried to right his balance.

Jace was out for a wander, getting more and more used to the sheer number of people around, tucked up against the cold. He’d come out to tire himself out a little, too - his meds were giving him weird dreams, and his doctor had said exercise was important - not just to help with the dreams, but also to help him gain some muscle and put on weight, and keep his mind in a good place. 

He blinked, when the ball rolled past his feet, a bit zoned out, and bent, picking it up, but then yelped, flinching, as he heard a bark. He was scared of dogs - he’d had one too many set on him, and they freaked him out. He backed up away from the barking dog - it was huge, and took some deep breaths. It’s ok. Not gonna hurt you.

Jamie raised a brow “Bessie is a van..?” he went quiet for a second before a smile grew on his lips “I can’t wait to meet her! Um..Are you sure you’re okay with sleeping in such close quarters with me?” he asked softly “We did just meet. Not a lot of people would be fine sleeping next to a stranger.” 

“Oh, um, I don’t live in Bess any more. Because I realised that actually while I had a home in her, she was still sort of sleeping on the street. So now she has a drive to live on, and we’ve got some lovely flowers and stuff for her. But, more to, um, the point, you can have your own space! I live with Cian and Alexei. In the house that the... drive belongs to.”

He listened quietly as Jace told his story, head bobbing at appropriate intervals before he smiled softly. “I wouldn’t know what that’s like- coming from a small town.” Now his fingers were toying idly with the hem of his pants as they sat there talking. Fidgeting had always been a habit of his- one his mother had tried to break him of, though obviously without much success. “I grew in Glasgow. Beautiful city, really. But certainly not small.” He glanced over at Jace then. “Do you think you’ll find a new job? With your fresh start?”

“Well... I definitely can’t be a... y’know. Prostitute any more.” He mumbled, but took a deep breath, not about to let himself get tangled up in that right now. It was something he’d done, but now, he was different. He was doing better, and that was what to focus on now. “So yeah. I’m gonna try and find something new. Once I stop being scared of... everything. I don’t really know what, because I don’t have any... skills or training or anything, so... Well. I’ll just have to see I guess.”

Jamie smiled softly “I-I’m glad you beat it…The homelessness and the sickness. Hopefully I can too…” he muttered “In…Bessie?” he asked tilting his head curiously “Who’s Bessie?”

“I’m still working on it. I’m still kinda sick. I have to go to a doctor a lot. So, it’s not a good idea to be on the streets if you can help it. Um, Bessie is my girlfriend! And also she is a van that I turned into my home. She is very nice, I’m sure she’ll like you.”

Jamie straightened up at the offer “I-I…I..You’d really let me stay with you? Y-You don’t even know me” he squeaked out as he looked down “I-I don’t want to be a bother” 

“Um. Well. You see, I was... homeless. For a long time. And it... it sucks. It really sucks and I got... sick, and it’s so cold right now. So, um... you shouldn’t be on the streets. So you can stay with me! In Bessie! I got her when I was kicked out. And I am sure she would be happy to have you.”

Jamie swallowed hard and shook his head “N-No..I was gonna call the guy I was seeing b-but..My phone was cut off so I sold it for extra money a-and I don’t know his number off my heart..S-So I’m screwed” he sighed 

“Well, um...” Jace bit his lip a moment, before shifting his weight from foot to foot. “I- You don’t have to be sc-screwed. I mean. I have somewhere you can stay. If you - If you need to. Because you can’t sleep on the... street.” He perhaps shouldn’t be just offering this, but Bessie was still his, and yes, it was their property she was parked on, but he was sure they wouldn’t mind. He was supposed to be making friends, after all.

Jamie bit his lip as he tried to wipe away his tears quickly “I um..I’m fine…Please don’t worry” he said quickly as his body quivered a little “I-..I just um..Got evicted so..I’m just a little upset. I-It’s nothing you did. S-Sorry for making you worry if I did” he sputtered out quickly before swallowing hard. 

“Oh... Oh no!” Jace frowned, tilting his head, looking up at the building behind them. “Um... No, you don’t need to apologise. Um- do... do you have somewhere to stay? Tonight, I mean.” He knew how it felt to be alone with no help - he’d known people, but that hadn’t stopped him from going cold and hungry most nights.

Jamie groaned softly as he walked away from his apartment that he had finally been evicted from “F-Fuck…” he mumbled as tears streamed down his cheeks. He had his guitar case in hand as that was all he could really carry out of his apartment by hand, that and a bag of clothes. “I-…I guess I’m homeless…” he mumbled to himself before sniffling, his tears drying to his cheeks quickly from the cold air. Jamie felt as if his life was going to shit. First his phone get’s cut off, then he loses his regular gig to some pretty girl and now he was being thrown out to the street. He stumbled softly as he realized what his life had come to and ended up ramming into someone. He looked up at the man with teary eyes and quickly began to apologize “I-I’m so sorry…I-I hope I didn’t hurt you” 

Jace yelped as he was bumped into, flinching away a little. There sure were a lot of people in this city. But, as he kept telling himself, he would have to get used to it. He lived here now, with two men who he (whispering, even in his own internal monologue) loved, and he couldn’t hide forever. 

When he saw the person who’d bumped into him, though, he held a hand out, to steady him, in case he was going to fall. “Oh- Oh no. Are you ok? I’m... fine.” He’d be bruised, sure, but that was more his fault - he needed to gain weight, and hopefully his counts would start going in their various correct directions, so he could stop bruising at the slightest little bump. “Don’t worry about me, um... what’s wrong?”

Daniel furrowed his brows while he idly picked at a loose thread on his jeans. “Afraid?” New York was big, and Daniel could certainly understand some level of fear. After all, the horror stories he’d heard about America were enough to give him mild nightmares- not to mention the fact that he’d called the other boy over just because he’d heard something under his bed. But still… “That’s an awfully long list of fears. What made you so afraid?”

Jace nodded, cuddling Dracarys. “Mhm. I came from... a real small town. I’ve never been anywhere with as many... people as this. And the people I did... know... Well. They weren’t super nice people. I was, um, homeless. And I didn’t have many ways to make money. So I...” He hadn’t told many people this, only Alexei and Cian, but he didn’t want to keep it a secret from everyone. “There were some ways I could make money, y’know. But people would hurt me a lot. So... This is kind of... a fresh start. I have a therapist, and I am working on being trusting. But smart. It’s kind of a lot!” Jace smiled at Daniel - that hadn’t actually been as hard as he’d thought, and he still had his sleeves rolled down, hiding the track marks - one thing at a time.

The moment that the tiny creature crawled back out, Daniel shift and sat up right against with his legs crossed in front of himself. “Well, I’m sure glad that I had you and your creature to come help save me.” He let out a breath and reached a hand up to push his hair back from his face. “I honestly don’t know what I would have done otherwise- likely wouldn’t have gotten much sleep tonight. That’s for sure.”

Jace smiled, rolling back onto his back, slowly enough to let Dracarys hop down into his lap, and petted him gently. “He’s very clever. And brave. I’m very lucky to know him. I’m glad we could help!” He beamed at Daniel, brushing his fingertips over the chinchilla’s nose. “I get scared of stuff a lot. Like this city. And the people. And crowds places that aren’t here. And sometimes when doors slam, especially car doors? I could go on, but... It’s a long list.” He gave Daniel a sheepish smile.

“Ahh. How rude. I hope they paid the royalties.” Daniel laughed softly. After a moment, he shift, moving to lie out on his stomach so he could glance under the bed as well. This was all very strange- but not unwelcome. Sometimes a break from the normal was exactly what was needed. And it was definitely helping to take his mind off whatever the hell was under his bed. “So really you’re a humanitarian doing us all a great service by saving us from the wrath of your inter-dimensional princeling? You deserve an award or something.”

Dracarys emerged, some fluff in his paws, which he dropped, continuing to sniff around. “Oh- did you eat it? That’s kinda gross. I hope you don’t get sick now.” He held his hands out, and the little creature hopped over into his lap, and Jace petted his fur, gently. “There! All sorted.” He hopped the chinchilla up onto his back, and crawled to the bed, flipping the blankets up, showing the empty space underneath. “Nothing here.”

“Dracarys…” Daniel echoed softly. “That’s… a Game of Thrones thing, right?” His gaze never wavered from the small creature as it moved about his apartments, and he blinked when it disappeared. “A princeling form another dimension.” He spoke slowly, enunciating each word before he turned to look at Jace. “And how, exactly, did you come to be in possession of such a… fearsome? …creature.”

“No. He says they stole it from him. And that Dracarys is the closest we can get to his true name in our sorry excuse for a language. His words not mine.” He bent down, elbows on the floor, trying to see the chinchilla under the bed. “Oh, he came through to our dimension. Because he didn’t wanna be king. I found him in the remains of his capsule under an underpass. He nearly died! He said in exchange for saving his life I could serve as his peon.” He gave Daniel a look, and dropped his voice to a whisper. “Between us, if I didn’t look after him he would for sure be in trouble by now. He is very used to being a spoiled princeling who gets to do whatever he wants.”

Daniel blinked, watching quietly as Jace withdrew some sort of furball from his jacket pocket and placed it on the floor. His mouth opened, then shut, then opened, then shut again. Both brows knit together near the center of his forehead and he watched as the creature scurried across the floor. There was a beat, a moment during which Daniel simply stared before he finally closed the door and moved to sit down on the floor beside Jace. “…what, exactly, is that?” He asked after a long moment.

He is Dracarys.” Jace smiled. “His full title is a bit too long for me to remember. But he’s a princeling from another dimension. And, by his own account, a fearsome warrior. So if there’s anything under there, he’ll get rid of it for sure.” He looked over at Daniel, and smiled gently. “There are lots of things to be scared of, but it’s good to be able to do things about the stuff you can.” Dracarys sniffed at the blankets of the bed, sitting up on his haunches, and then vanished under them. “Dracarys isn’t scared of anything.”

Ezra was on a break from his rehearsal so he decided to go down to the little cafe around the corner and grab a coffee. He didn’t really need it. He was hyper enough without any caffeine but he really wanted it. He just really loved the smell of coffee. He was so distracted by trying to decide what kind he would get he walked right into someone. He let out a little surprised squeak and reached out to try to steady them. “I’m so sorry! Are you okay? I really need to start watching where I’m going. Please say you’re okay!.”

[jaceingwithcare]

Jace was on a coffee mission again. They’d decided he had to go to five different stores, so he’d gone further afield this time. He was wrapped up in layers upon layers of clothing, too skinny to keep himself warm. He’d been a little tuned out, not wanting to focus too much on the fact that he was surrounded by people, so despite the relatively gentle knock, he toppled right over. Blinking (and rather glad he hadn’t been holding any coffee) he looked up at the stranger, frowning a little. “Um. I’m okay. I think. Yeah.”

Wally sighed, tilting his head as he shoved his hands in his pockets. He was walking through the park, kicking random mounds of dirt. It was almost his birthday and, while for most people that was a positive, Wally had always hated his birthday. His parents always tried to call and it just caused stress in his life. But for now, he was just trying to not think about it. In his absentmindedness, he felt himself bump into someone and stumbled back, looking up. “Oh… Well my bad. I guess.”

[jaceingwithcare]

Jace had decided he loved the park. There were people, yes, but not crushed together, and they were more relaxed, not storming from one place to another, but just enjoying themselves. He was zoning out, doing a little meditation, when someone walked into him. He squeaked, softly, staggering back - he still needed to put on weight, and he got light-headed easily. “Um, it’s okay. I’m fine. Are... you okay?”

“Okay… Look. You can think I’m ridiculous, that’s fine, mate. But I called you here because I was being serious.” Daniel groaned, head tipped back as he pranced on both feet in the doorway of his studio apartment. “I heard it, and I know I’m not crazy. Stop looking at me like that!” He lift a hand and waved it wildly at the bed across from the door. “I heard something under there. And I refuse to go to bed tonight until I know something isn’t going to grab me by the ankle and drag me to the deepest pit of hell. Please… please help me out and just give it a look? I’m too scared to.”

[jaceingwithcare]

Jace chewed his lip. He didn’t really understand why Daniel had called him, but he was willing to help out a friend. I have friends! Weird. He smiled reassuringly at the other man. “It’s okay. I brought backup. Someone who is much more used to dealing with monsters than me.” He scooped Dracarys out from his pocket, petting the little chinchilla, and then put him on the floor, over the border of the room. “Your Majesty, please go kill the monster under the bed. If there is one.” Dracarys looked up at them for a moment, wiggling his nose contemplatively, and then made his way across the floor, sniffing around. Jace sat down cross-legged on the floor, and watched. “Don’t worry. He’ll be able to help us.”
