aliciadelmar:

“Thank you,” she said gently. This was probably the hardest moment of her life. She missed her daughter so much, what she longed for was to pull her into her arms and press her nose against her daughters head. She missed her so entirely. She paused at his words, considering this. “Do you…happen to have any books? If I can’t leave…maybe I should do something with my time.” 

“Books, sure, and you have headphones? I bet some music would lighten up this dreary room huh?” Just about everyone had something on their cell phone for that. “But don’t worry. I’ll get a video of Alma and send it your way. You gotta stay strong for her, sure, but everyone else cares for you too. Ya know?”

lilaxjensen:

Lila blinked as she listened to him speak to her. He was being very helpful, and calming. “Yes thank you,” she said in a very timid voice, she was never a nervous or timid person. However in this moment however, she was so incredibly unsure. She moved to sit down where he had gestured. “I’m sorry,” her eyes watering slightly, she quickly bit them back.  “I’m sorry, you’re busy. You don’t have to. I just…I need a moment.” 

Kid chuckled light and knelt down on one knee, still tending to Lila. “Not busy at all. you’re the only customer in here right now.” The wolf gave a nod to prove he understood her needs. “I’ll go grab you a water.”

There was a small cooler he’d installed with Lincoln after a week of working at this joint and making it their own. Cold waters were stacked up; a must have for young wolves like themselves that ran on pure heat. He rushed back to bring the bottle to her as quick as he could. “How are you now?”

[lilaxjensen]

Lila blinked, like she was waking up from a dream or a daze. She looked around almost frantically. Reaching for the nearest person she spoke in a shaky voice. “I um…I think I’m lost,” she said, why was she so confused? Why did it feel like something was missing? 

[kidcrieswolf]

Joe had noticed something odd about Lila when she wandered into the skate shop. For one thing, he didn’t recall her visiting this side of town very often and he didn’t receive a hello in return while addressing the woman. He was responsive the moment she reached out, turning from the organization task at hand to be there for her. “It’s okay, why don’t you come over here and sit down?” Kid offered a seat near the changing rooms but didn’t leave her side. “You’re at church of skatan. Do you want me to walk you home?” Chances were he would insist anyway.

[kidcrieswolf]

aliciadelmar:

Alicia shifted a little as she thought about that. “Part of me wants that, and part of me is worried that it might hurt more, knowing that we are apart still.” She explained as she lowered her head. “But thank you, I’m okay I just…want this to stop, I miss my home.” She sighed weakly. 

Kid gave a half hearted grin and nodded. He understood. “Just let me know.” Letting out a sigh, Kid kept his distance from Alicia. Up against the wall near the doorway. Per the nurses instruction. “It’ll be over soon, I know that.” He had to believe. “Is there anything at your place that would help pass the time?”

[kidcrieswolf]

aliciadelmar:

Alicia was in the hospital, all she could think about was Alma. But being monitored meant their contact was limited. “If you get a chance could you check in on her for me?” She asked absently. 

“Yes, of course. There’s no reason you can’t face time, or something.” Kid smiled, uncertain if Alicia would want to show her face at this time. “Anything else?”

[kidcrieswolf]

“I threw it away, alright?” Kid confessed with a dramatic cry, hands clenching air before his chest and mouth hanging agape with shame. “The paper. I threw it away. In the garbage. I lied. I’m the worst best friend ever.--I didn’t buy anything.” He shouldn’t have been broken so easily, but this was Lincoln. No one in town knew Kidman better or deserved honest answers from him. Hopefully this would end the gentle interrogation. “Damn it. Why can’t you just let me play cool and mysterious?” Truth was he hadn’t, not for a second, and never could. Best friends might be their most common title, but brother’s would be a more accurate description for this shared bond. 

Kid frowns, pouts, and they’re but a street cross away from the coffee shop. “So you’ll go dig it up now, I presume? Leave me to worry about you over my venti dark mocha?” He used to be more daring. One step behind Lin. He still wanted to be. After the riot bloodshed Kid caused he couldn’t help but be more reserved. Cautious afraid. “Just to spite me.”

theloneteenwoolf:

Lincoln didn’t believe that - the imps wouldn’t skip them, they were easily two of the easiest people in town. “It’s alright if you went ahead without me, I’ll forgive you eventually.” He teased, happy at the prospect of downing a cup of coffee. “Dunno, probably something that could get me rich or laid. I bet that’s what you did -  Kid, you gotta tell me what you got!”

Shit. Kid was in a bind now. He couldn’t decide what was worse; being caught in this lie that had grown by two or three levels at this point or allow Lincoln to believe he’d gone through the task alone so heartlessly. The latter would require evidence... that he did not possess. “Listen. E-even if I was handed one of those spell things... I’m happy with what I’ve got.” Not so much what had been lost the last five or so years, but what Joe had currently between Lincoln was far more than he deserved. This was a white lie, but suddenly he was a bit concerned of Lincoln pushing him further on the answers he gave. He tsk’d, disappointed, “Not that I care to admit it; but you are more than capable of getting between the sheets without help from some potion or curse. If you put your mind to it. Same thing with money, really.” Riches didn’t phase Kid. Going broke was now an excuse to live carefree on the road again. But love? Maybe. Considering the ‘unique’ characters his nose was drawn to.

bonnie-sutton:

“Don’t be a silly, I hardly go on facebook. Facebook is out. It’s all about Instagram and Snapchat, duhh.” She teased him, though what she said was true for her. Facebook was to stalk what people from back home were doing. “Excellent. Just let me into your kitchen and I will create magic,” she waved her fingers around. Sometimes her cooking wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea… But if Joseph and his friend really did eat everything, well, maybe it would help her out. “Hey man, what 20 something year old doesn’t like parties? Especially the ones here, they’re always so… magical?” She shrugged a bit before gaping at him a bit. A wolf? “Okay so like… Like in Twilight? Do you guys have an alpha? Can you read each other’s minds when in wolf form? Do you guys like imprint or something ” She had too many questions. 

He smiled, feeling better about his actions now, or lack of action. “I have to agree with that. We should swap info then I’ll be on top of it.”

“Not that I have much preference, but what sort of magic are we talking here? Savory? Dessert-y?” Her comment coaxed a light chuckle out of Kid. It was warm and deep as always. “I've loved every one I’ve hit up so far.”

His expression turned perplexed as Bonnie asked her questions, then twisted into one of distaste. “We’re just... bros?” He tried to explain, shrugging his hands this way and that. “Lone wolves otherwise... we experience the turn differently, and control, but being together during full moons helps a great deal.” At least it seemed that way each morning that followed.

hellhoundblake:

Having the crying boy against his chest, his hangover was all but forgotten. All that mattered in that moment was trying to make sure that Kid was okay. Petting his hair softly, the hold on him didn’t let go or even budge not even when he felt his shirt starting to get wet. “I’m not sick,” honestly he didn’t drink enough water to get sick or even be at a risk. “I promise, I’m not sick.” Not being able to help himself, lost in the moment and wanting to comfort him, he pressed a kiss to the top of his head. 

At first Kid feared Blake would just lie to put him at ease, but as he emphasized his point and Kid got a chance to listen to the hounds steady heartbeat he knew what it was the truth. He cringed once again from the emotion that crippled him before letting out a heavy breath, then another, and Blake’s supportive contact helped keep Joe’s shaky knees from sweeping his feet out from under himself. “Good...” He sighed again, calming some, “good. I can’t... take losing any of you.” Kid looked up, more sideways as he continued to hide the pathetic tears and wipe them away fast. Hoping they could pretend this never happened. “Lincoln. ... My sister...” A clutched hand folded against his left eye. He tried to keep all this in, but... he was exhausted. Maybe it would help to talk his fears out. “everyone’s scared.” Except for Blake it seemed. That was sort of nice.

hellhoundblake:

The part hellhound heard the ding of the bell when the other came into the shop from his office in the back. The said office was mostly just a couch where he passed out on when he was intoxicated, or hung over. Like now. Letting out a groan he rolled over trying to get to energy to stand up which took about 30 seconds longer than he planned. When he was finally standing he grabbed his plaid shirt and wrapped it around him before walking out into the main store area. He only got a few steps into the shop area before he stopped cold in his tracks. Kid had been his best (?) friend for months now but never before had he seen the boy cry. “Joe?” His voice was soft as he called out, walking over to him and not letting the boy answer before pulling him into his arms, holding him tight against him

It struck hard and fast, Joe was fighting sniffles by the time he realized he was no longer alone and to regain composure. Even as he did try, this time it made it more difficult to stop. Kid’s cheek landed on Blake’s shoulder after he was turned and grasped. Feebly, his hands that were clutched toward his own body wove their way faintly against Blake’s mid and upper back. “I’m sorry..” Kid turned his cheek and set his forehead on the shoulder. Allowed himself to hug a bit tighter to the hellhound. He felt damp and the smell of booze didn’t help that... “Tell me you’re not sick. Please.” Voice muffled only slightly from the angle his lips face, Kid’s shoulders flinched after asking. “Please...”

“Hey! I’ve got that water for you.” Kid announced after using his backside to push through the front doors of the comic shop. He was distracted as always and didn’t have the spare energy to put his unnatural senses to use. Find if Blake was around through scent or sound. Despite it all, Kid was wearing a brave face while hoisting what now could be considered a light case of bottled water onto the front counter before taking a breath and wiping both hands clean over his shirt. The water was part reason why Kid had showed up and the other was to check in on his friend. As he stood in silence, waiting a reply, the facade Joe had been keeping up for everyone started to fade. It was quiet here. No one else entered. In that moment he covered his eyes and turned back toward the 24-pack to silently weep in privacy. What if Lincoln got sick, Bonnie, Blake?

roxanna-castillo:

Whistling after an early shift at Masion, Roxy found herself walking through another route. The area was familiar, just not one she normally took. She found herself flinching slightly as she heard noises to her left, her hand edging towards her waist where she would find nothing. Turning, she realized it was just someone walking down the steps and throwing a piece of paper away. She was just about to continue on her way when she realized who it was. The dancer grinned and made her way over to him, jumping onto his back. “Kid! I feel like I haven’t seen you in days.” 

“Ah!” He gasped. Somehow, his senses had let him down and Kid failed to notice the faint jog coming from behind before contact. It had been that was for awhile now. Kid was distracted... “O-oh, hey!” The wolf pushed out a laugh and gripped his chest before letting out a heavy breath. “You scared the crap out of me.”

“You dick! Taking all the imp stuff for yourself.” Lincoln huffed, scraping away the last bits of sleep that clung to heavy eyelids. He had been sleeping horrendously late ever since school had ended - but still. “Alright, show me what you got. Did they have any potions strong enough to fix that face of yours? Then I’m off for some coffee and an imp to sell me some goodies.”

Kid’s eyes were a happy squint as Lincoln prodded for more detail. “I can never keep a secret around you.” Yet he was doing just that with the crinkled paper laying deep in a waste basket. “Turns out we didn’t get a note--or maybe it just blew away.” Kid shrugged. “I've survived this long with my chiseled good looks, ‘think I’ll be fine--coffee would be amazing right now.” The wolf continued to walk down the street. “What would you ask an imp for? Seriously.”

[kidcrieswolf]

theloneteenwoolf:

“Hey Kid! I’ve been looking for you all morning.” He had rolled out of bed no more than five minutes ago, and wandered around the apartment in a sleep induced haze, calling his partners name. Slipping on a pair of once bright white (but now a seasoned grey) sneakers, Lincoln found Kid outside, lingering by the trash cans. “We didn’t get a visit from the imp - do you think its a werewolf thing? I was really looking forward to getting into some magical mischief too.”

Kid shot a gaze over his shoulder before turning to face Lincoln. The ever present, patient grin appeared, and another pang of guilt struck him. “I should’ve woke you, but thought the surprise would be better.” He admitted. A suspicious deep laugh escaped Joe, “Says you. I already met with the roach and got my goods. That’ll learn ya to sleep in late on this day of all days.” There was no hiding the cocky sense of glee while saying this.

bonnie-sutton:

She laughed a bit. “I’ve already started actually.” It was her fault really, for not seeking him out. For not telling him she was going to be going to school in that town. He was, afterall, one of the reasons she gave her parents for wanting to go to school somewhere else. “Cuilnary~ So if you ever want something let me know. Oh! You could be my guinea pig? I promise I won’t poison you.” Bonnie listened to him, nodding along. “I haven’t been here for too long, but it is all pretty exciting.I love all the parties here,” she said in a whisper as if it were a secret. The girl shifted her weight from one foot to the other “Into what exactly?” She was slightly jealous. Slightly. Most residents were something cool and amazing and she was just human. 

He smiled too and felt a flush move up his neck. “I’m so dumb. I really have to pay more attention with... facebook and all that.” That sort of social media wasn’t his cup of tea. Too many people who knew of his history... too many people who pretended to know, at least. Kid wanted that fresh slate. He didn’t mind Bonnie, she didn’t act like the others. “That is really awesome. Lincoln and I are ravenous ‘growing boys’ so I’ll definitely take you up on the food offer. We’ll be test subjects, bring it on, there’s nothing our bodies can’t handle anyway.” Perhaps he was being too friendly, but Kid couldn’t help himself. Under different circumstances, their first meeting would have probably been more like this moment. He wished that it had. “Parties, huh? Hopefully there’ll be more.” Kid chuckled. “Werewolves--god... it sounds crazy talking about it. I hardly ever have to. ‘feels completely normal after all that time.”
