“oh i’m sorry i was talking to myself,” she said with an embarrassed smile. “i need to remember to buy some stuff from the story, and i don’t want to forget it.”

[luke-avery-blog]

“Oh no worries.” Luke smiled. “I do that all the time.”

“Would you consider Taylor Swift to be more Pop-Country or Country-Pop?”

[luke-avery-blog]

“Her older stuff was probably more Country than Pop but her newer stuff is more Pop in my opinion.”

dori relaxed the slightest as like seemed to accept his continued persistence. he followed luke, sitting applesauce beside him and tucking into his side. lifting luke’s arm so he could set it around his skinny shoulders, he smiled. “ much better. ” he murmured, head against his shoulder.

[luke-avery-blog]

Luke wrapped an arm lightly around Dorian’s shoulders. Giving him a small smile as the other’s head rested on his shoulder. He turned his attention to people watching after that letting Dorian start a conversation if he wanted.

Margo rolled her eyes, “Right. So I’ve been speaking to myself for the past five minutes. Great. No wonder the dude on the next stool was starting to stare.” She took her beer and shook her head before taking a down a gulp.

“I apologized. Don’t give me your sass I’m not in the mood right now. You didn’t even tell me that you wanted to talk to me before you started your conversation.” Luke sighed wrapping his hand tightly around his drink.

[luke-avery-blog]

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just got here so I’m behind on this conversation.”

[coldfangs-blog]

dori’s frown deepens, and he glanced down at their hands. he felt like luke didn’t even want him there, but he knew he couldn’t just leave it. he shrugged a little, a sweet smile on his face. “ i’m not coddling you. ” he said, quietly. “ i’m spending time with you. ”

[luke-avery-blog]

Luke didn’t know why Dorian would want to be around him when he was like this but he shrugged smiling a little. “Alright then.” He moved to sit on the towel dragging Dori down with him.

[coldfangs-blog]

dori frowned again. “ … luke.. “ he said, quietly. he hated seeing him hurting, and shook his head, “ just… hold on, “ within a second he had thrown his ice cream away, and had come back, wiping his hand on his jeans and then returning to his position in front of luke. “ i don’t want to ignore you, “ he said, softly, trying to convey a warmth over the bond. he nudged his hand forward, tangling fingers with luke’s. “ i want you with me. even when you’re sad. “ 

[luke-avery-blog]

Luke sighed reluctantly leaving his hand in the other’s grasp. “You know you’re wasting perfectly good ice cream for no reason silly. I’m fine. You don’t need to coddle me.”

[mckennatf]

“No…it just makes me sad.”

[luke-avery-blog]

“Don’t be sad.”

[amirxmusa-deactivated20160516]

“Since when do you not want to annoy me?”

[luke-avery-blog]

“I just don’t feel like it.”

[mavdonalds-deactivated20180223]

“thank you because ice cream is great.” she replied with a smile, “i’ll be back in a second.” lelia told him before running off to get him a drink. it didn’t take her long before she was standing in front of him and handing it over. “i hope you like cola.”

[luke-avery-blog]

Luke nodded at her comments before she left. He watched people silently smiling a little when she came back. Taking the drink he handed her the ice cream. “I do. Thank you.”

[coldfangs-blog]

dorian’s frown deepened and he turned around, looking at his ice cream — it was inconvenient, to say the least, to have something he couldn’t put down in one hand when he needed them both. “ it’s okay. “ he said, mustering up his bright-eyed, smile. he shifted, toeing the grass and then, his voice uncharacteristically quiet, “ do — do you need a hug, luke ? i give really good hugs, i mean —— if you don’t mind how bony and short i am. “

[luke-avery-blog]

“You should already know that I don’t mind either of those Dori. I try to tell you that all the time but I guess I won’t be able to convince you of it. I don’t need a hug if you don’t want to give me one. I apologize for being so down. I’m ruining your fun. You should just ignore me.”

[coldfangs-blog]

dori frowned, pulling his chin back and taking the bag wordlessly. feeling a bit scolded, he nodded and trotted off, hoping that hunting down the most picture perfect spot might cheer luke up. it was hard for him to remember that sometimes not everything bad was his fault, so instead of confronting the issue, he frowned at his ice cream cone even as he tried to finish it, tossing the towel down and using magic to smooth the corners, trying to focus on the towel instead of if luke was approaching or not. 

[luke-avery-blog]

Luke could tell that he had upset Dorian by snapping at him. He had done his best to restrain himself but Dorian thinking that he bugged Luke was irritating. He had been a bit sad for awhile. He couldn’t quite figure out why and that made it even worse. He followed Dorian after a few moments walking up to stand behind him. “Sorry I snapped at you.” He mumbled feeling down about having hurt Dorian’s feelings

[coldfangs-blog]

dori hummed a little, flicking curls out of his eyes and stopping abruptly to look up at luke, chewing his lip. “ that’s silly. i’d just end up bugging you. “ dori informed him, tapping his chest with a finger.  “ oh !! right… yeah… i guess we could… you’re so prepared. where’d you leave them ?? then we can pick our own spot. maybe by the trees, where it’s a little quieter. “

[luke-avery-blog]

“You don’t bug me.” Luke sighed turning to walk towards the bag. Picking it up when he got to it. “It’s all right here. Go pick a spot and I’ll follow you.” He was being a bit short with Dorian but his mood hadn’t been very good lately.

[coldfangs-blog]

dori hummed, picking a coke out of the icy mess and handing it over to luke. he tilted his head, flicking his curls as he did so, and started to eat his ice cream. “ nope ! i’ve only had soda once. i was eleven and it tasted funny. “ he said. he reached for luke’s wrist, before he paused, clearly deciding if he wanted to risk spilling luke’s ice cream or soda in order to lead him somewhere. instead, he just bypassed it and tugged on luke’s shirt, his smile returning. “ c’mon !! we should go steal someone’s towel and lay in the sun for a while. i feel like i haven’t gotten to sit with you in ages. “ it had only been a few days, but dori’s talent for drama was impressive.

[luke-avery-blog]

Luke took the coke mumbling a quiet thank you. He watched as Dorian reached towards his wrist but stopped to grab onto the front of his shirt. He gave the other an amused little smile as he followed him. Letting Dorian drag him along. “You know you can spend time with me whenever you want Dorian. It’s not as if I do very much. I would suggest just getting one of the towels I packed instead of stealing one.”

( luke-avery ):

“Well I don’t know that I would take it as far as being a slave. Of course you can have the ice cream if you get me a drink. I wouldn’t lie about it.”

“okay, good point. i can totally get you that drink then. i’ll believe you for this because i’ll be very upset if i don’t get any ice cream, you know?”

[luke-avery-blog]

"I understand. I promise I won't ever tease you with ice cream. That would be too mean."

[mckennatf]

“You used to be.”

[luke-avery-blog]

“I know. I’m sorry for changing Kenz. Do you dislike me for it?”

[mavdonalds-deactivated20180223]

“i don’t know how i feel about being someone’s slave.” she replied softly even as she eyed up the ice cream. “do you promise to give me the ice cream? i mean, i don’t want to be getting conned into getting you a drink and then i get no ice cream, you know?”
