garden of dreams

A garden of dreams where people find themselves lost forever in visions of themselves.

“Seems like a terrible waste of food.” Avery commented with a shrug and a smile. He took a bite of his sandwich and considered the resulting scene as he believed it was a milkshake was now tossed over the man while the man retaliated with salad. It wasn’t really much of a fight in his opinion.

xx — Savannah pursed her lips together to avoid the laughter. That uncomfortable one where you don’t mean to laugh but at the same time, you can’t really help it. “I suppose it is a waste of food, but I wonder what happened.” Setting her elbows on the table, she rested her chin in her hands, watching the scene. “Couple tend to fight over silly things and I guess the food was just the nearest...throwable thing?” She took a french fry up, chewing on it distractedly before she looked over toward Avery. “Why fight in public though? I feel like I’d want it more private if there’s fighting at all.”

“Really? I would say not. Freckles are charming and unique.” Charlotte replied cheerfully. “That was my plan. I have no interest in siring Vampires to follow me. Perhaps in a few centuries I will feel different.” She shrugged lightly, unconcerned. “As long as I have you I will not be lonely. I’ll worry about the centuries after that when they come.”

xx — A blush painted Maya cheeks as she somehow managed to sink herself lower into the couch, but still close to Charlotte. Compliments are things Maya really needed to work on just accepting. Her grandmother was really the only one who gave them. “Do you think you’ll fall in love with me one day?” Maya asked the question in a whisper, eyes glancing from Charlotte to her own hands that were wringing nervously.

Cierra had gotten up early and headed down to the hotel pool. She was hoping to find it empty at this time of day, as she found trying to swim in a crowded pool was difficult. When she got there, she was happy to see it was mostly empty. In fact, there was only one other person down there. She dropped her towel on a chair and took off her flip flops. “Do you mind if I join you?” she asked.

xx — Faz spun around with a quick spin on his heel, flashing a brilliant inviting smile. “Oh, please do! I was silently hoping someone else would come join. I can’t stand being in a pool with a million people but I also hate being alone in the pool. Somehow my brain convinces me that there’s something in the water.” Faz waved his hand in the air dismissively, knowing the thought was silly. He dropped his phone down on the chair he’d claimed with his towel before he pulled his shirt off and threw it to the side on the chair as well.

Griffin looked away, focusing on getting a beer himself rather than reacting to him being “happy” or living a normal life. He opened his bottle with a laugh, nodding.  “It would suit you, though I’d likely break and just call you Caleb most of the time.”

xx —“I don’t think I would really complain if you did that, although being called handsome and gorgeous is always nice too,” Caleb teased with a smirk on his lips. Tipping his bottle back, Caleb took another sip as he watched them leave the dock and it slowly grew smaller behind them. “Okay, silly question. If you could have any dream vacation, what would it be?”

Rowel stared at the store of sparkly things, with the intimidating clerk who asked questions he did not understand. He should just leave the area of shops but he also still didn’t have thing he wanted. So he sat on the low bench outside the store and tried to muster his courage. “Why do they make it so hard?” he grumbled, half to himself.

xx — Jasper, always curious, couldn’t help himself from stopping in front of the other man. “And what exactly is this thing they make so hard?” He cocked his head to the side, Jasper’s eyes falling on the man. He’d just gotten done buying a new suit and he had time to kill before he really needed to get back, maybe he could be of some help. “Whatever it is, you seem out of spirits now.”

Athena had no problem admitting that it was hard to picture and wrap her head around the lifetimes Jasper had lived and the persons he had been in the past. Mostly she thought it didn’t matter, given that who he was now was the person she was falling for. Someone she trusted and valued not just for the way he acted or the words he said, but for his thoughts in a very intriguing mind. Each time they ended up talking she was eager to learn more about how his mind worked and what his opinions and thoughts were. So what if he had changed? So what if he had made mistakes? It was not as if she was flawless, not by a long shot. “That must be exhausting. Living up to other peoples expectations is tiring enough when they expect you to be yourself..” She shook her head a little, though what did catch her attention was the empasis on how being with her seemed to carry more weight. “How do I play into that?” She asked, not masking her curiosity. While she was able to make assumptions given the words he was choosing to use, leading her to believe that who he had been hadn’t always been a person he was proud of, or thought she’d like perhaps, she wasn’t about to judge him based on it. Her own wine bottle had almost been forgotten in the midst of the conversation, though when he drank she remembered to do the same, not surprised at feeling a little lightheaded and sure that if she tried to plant her feet she would not have a great balance, regardless of her swollen ankle. “Feel free to end up more than tipsy.” Athena teasingly commented. While she was sure getting back to the hotel room would be challenging if that was the case, she didn’t want to be the reason he held back. Once more the wine was forgotten as she stared back into those dark, mesmerizing eyes of his, a light blush creeping up her cheeks. It was just too easy, placing her hands at the back of his neck, fingers brushing skin, pulling in as close as possible. “I’m not conceited enough to answer yes, though its very nice to hear. I mean, gawk away, as long as I can do the same I’m totally cool with that.” She was entirely serious, though aware that she didn’t sound it. Mostly because agreeing was hard and knowing he felt that way was both astounding as well as incredible. “Considering your looks are all god like and breathtaking its a wonder I can make myself passably coherent being close to you.” Her tone far softer this time around. “Makes me wonder what will happen if we do something more.”  

xx — Jasper tapped his fingers on the wine bottle he held as he thought to himself about how to phrase the answer to Athena’s question. It was easier for him to explain if he took the time to pull his words together rather than shooting in the dark when he felt clueless about his own feelings most of the time. “With you, I feel the need to be the better version of myself. The person I was before would not be someone I would ever want to expose you to and it helps keep myself grounded. I’m still learning, but I try to remind myself to be someone that you can be proud of and happy with. The man I was before...” Jasper shook his head, opting to let the words die. The man he’d been once before would have seen Athena as someone to play with or worse---blood to enjoy. The old Jasper would not have seen her as a person. He lifted up the wine bottle, taking a long swig. Partly to wash away memories but also from Athena’s encouragement. If she had no issue with him getting slightly tipsy, he would happily do so. He set the wine bottle back now, forgetting about it as soon as he felt Athena’s hands and felt her closer. When she was this close, Jasper could get tipsy on her beauty and scent alone. He’d certainly be the happiest vampire if he could stay like this forever. “You’re more than welcome to stare whenever you’d like. I’ll make sure to give you a nice view of my ass on occasion,” Jasper teased with a chuckle. His eyes flickered to her lips, the temptation building inside him. It would be so easy to press his lips to her own, to feel more than her hands touching him. “You know, I wonder the exact same thing myself...” Jasper leaned forward, resting his forehead against Athena’s. He waited a moment, that short moment of uncertainty before leaning forward and kissing Athena.

Taking a deep breath Athena nodded. “Good, cause thats not how I’d ever wish for you to see me.” She said, deadly serious considering that it actually meant a bit to her, being seen as capable and strong on her own. If not there was a lack of respect there that she was relieved they would not have to discuss or deal with. It wasn’t so much the reaction that had upset her, as much as the violence. Violence thrumped everything, and Athena did not handle being the cause of it. Which, to be fair, wasn’t entirely on Jasper, and stemmed from years and years of being Nico’s little sister more than anything else. Anyone who had dared to cause her harm or hurt, either it be physically or emotionally, had gotten to experience her brothers lack of morals and limits. He didn’t have them, and while she knew it was all out of love, out of genuine affection and care, if given a choice in the matter she would have chosen differently. She wouldn’t wish anyone harm or strike out at someone for hurting her. For hurting her family or her loved ones? Yes. And that was why she did understand where her brother came from. Why she accepted that he did go to extremes to protect her. She just hadn’t expected that her fiancee would be in the very same boat. And jealousy.. that was much much worse to figure out than protectiveness. Athena could not help but shake her head a little. “But I am yours, and I don’t want anyone else but you Jas. That in there-” she jerked her head once in the direction of the bar. “-was just me being polite and friendly. That guy means nothing to me. But you do. You’re the only one I want, and thats not going to change.” She said, glad to be done yelling and bickering. She would much rather just talk honestly. As much as she dared to. “Just.. please try not to harm anyone because of me. Nico has taken lives to protect me, taken lives to avenge whats been done to me, and I can’t be the reason for more lives being taken. For people getting hurt and dying I just.. please try not to. I don’t fully understand it, that primal aspect to own me, but I do get wanting to have all of my attention. But you do, I promise. All the time when we’re together, and even when we aren’t. You’re always on my mind.” She leaned up to fit her lips to his, a passionate kiss, almost as if wanting to both remind him and underline her own words. Drawing back eventually, Athena went for another nod. “Okay.” Cutting the night short seemed like the wisest idea, considering. Beginning to walk, though keeping one of his hands, they had been moving for a while before she found the courage to ask the question she had wanted to ask all along. “Do you trust me?” 

xx — Jasper still felt unsettle, parts of him struggling to put the pieces together of the emotions that he was feeling. It was a raging storm, Jasper facing it with uncertainty of how well he’d fare in the end. But he would have to learn. If he wanted to make Athena happy and wanted their relationship to thrive, he would learn to handle his emotions and instincts. Such as not hurting random people. That he could certainly do, but he couldn’t make any promises about not harming anyone at all because of Athena. If it were the case of someone trying to hurt or kill her, that would be a different story. Jasper melted into the kiss, shoulders dropping and tension slowly leaving his body. It was strange to think that he’d finally met someone who could easily make him melt. “I will try to not hurt anyone unnecessarily like I did tonight. I can’t promise you that I won’t ever hurt someone in your defense. If someone were to hurt you or worse,” Jasper reached up to caress Athena’s cheek with the back of his fingers. “But I will try to be better.” He liked it better when they weren’t yelling at each other, when he hadn’t accidentally angered her by one of his mistakes. Jasper happily held one of Athena’s hands, smiling at the sight before looking ahead of them. Everything wasn’t entirely mended, he was sure of that, but at least they had made some progress. Athena’s question made Jasper look down at her, eyebrows raised. It wasn’t a question he’d expected. “Of course I trust you, Athena. I would not be as open with you if I did not and I trust you in regards to other people. You’re one of only four people in this world that I trust.” Jasper’s face twisted in puzzlement, not sure how to express it better than that. He looked back up to the street, the hotel at the end of the block. After a moment of silence he added, “I do fear that one day you may leave me. That may be where the jealousy stems from,”

Charlotte grinned, “Oh I realize and I look forward to discovering them all. Each and every single one. It may take me at least a decade and I think it is a worthy use of my time. You know how much I adore your freckles.” She traced her hand up Maya’s arm to trace a fingertip over her soft cheek. Such beautiful skin. “To be honest, I never plan to make another vampire, even though I am not sorry to be one. It was my decision and I have no regrets.” She leaned in to softly kiss the pretty girl in her arms. “Especially as it means I found you.”

xx — “I used to feel really self-conscious about them when I was younger,” Maya started, opening a bit more about her childhood. “Kids didn’t really make fun of me about them, but I noticed most people didn’t have them and thought it was weird I did. When I got old enough, I realized that it made me unique and I started to love them.” It was the last time Maya had really felt self-conscious about something until she triggered her werewolf gene. “Never?” Maya asked softly with a touch of concern before she melted in the soft kiss. It was sweet and made her feel special to know that Charlotte cared so much. Maya cupped the side of Charlotte’s face softly, giving her a sad smile. “I don’t want you to get lonely., but I guess you can always make friends with other people. You don’t really need to make another vampire.”

“Oh, prohibition wasn’t so bad” said Alexander with a smile. “It was basically one long party.” For those who survived it, anyway. And if there was something they could use right now, it was a party. He chuckled. “Well, then” he said, raising the fresh glass of whisky the bartender had set before him. “Let’s drink to needing alcohol to hope with the madness of the daily routine.” Then he took a large swig of the liquor.

xx — That was certainly something that Jasper could drink to--although he was sure he could find any reason to drink. Jasper set his glass back down, a fond smile on his lips. “Perhaps it makes me sound like an alcoholic, but I don’t think I could go a day without at least one relaxing glass. It just soothes everything. Granted, being a vampire certainly helps with avoiding the negative consequences.

“I take back everything I said about this city having nice weather” said Wren, standing in the hotel lobby. He’d just come in from outside and was drenched in sweat.  “It is way too hot out.” No place should get to 94 degrees  before it was even summer. And why did Americans have to use Fahrenheit  anyway? He was still having to convert everything to figure out just how miserable he’d be that day.

xx — “Sweetheart, this is why you wear very little clothing in order to try to feel as cool as possible.” Faz chuckled softly. “Only downside, you end up with god awful sunburn. As for the whole Fahrenheit thing, I think Americans just like to be different than the rest of the world. No idea, but maybe one day this country will convert over to Celsius.”

“Dude.  You’re ridiculously attractive, which I’m assuming was also the case in high school, and you’re actually a good guy.  Also hard to come by.  High school sweetheart is just an assumed.”  Griffin laughed a bit and shook his head.  He did look over at the other with confusion, asking. “Wait, why do you think you need to try to be cool with me?  You could rant at me about Star wars and battlestar Galactica or something and I’d definitely still be in….”  Griff blushed darkly and looked back at the street ahead of them before finishing. “Still be very interested in you.”

xx — Caleb grimaced, shrugging a shoulder. “I wouldn’t say I was ‘ridiculously attractive’ in high school. More like... awkwardly attractive.” That seemed like a much better explanation of his high school appearance. He’d have to bring up some picture from his childhood for Griffin. Quirking an eyebrow up, Caleb chuckled softly. “Good to know you’d still be interested in me. I guess I just want to impress you, you know?” He reached out to press the button for the crosswalk, keeping his eyes on the signal for when they could cross. “I know it might not seem like it, but I’ve got my own insecurities.”

Mihail knew what fear looked like. Five hundred seventy-seven years just wandering around and trying to understand how people worked, and how he could live as a vampire without getting hurt, had been really helpful to know it. And he could see the young woman in front of him was afraid. And he loved it. She had all the rights to be scared, especially with him. Moving closer to the gingerhead, the vampire looked at her. “Aw, look at that.” He said with a slight chuckle, before putting his bloody fingers on her face, moving her head slowly to look at her. “Little kitty is scared. Don’t you worry, I don’t drink animals’ blood, you’re freakin safe.”

xx — Maya instinctively took a step back, every part of her screaming that there was danger in the area. Not just for her, but for anyone in the area who could fall victim to the vampire. She’d lived too comfortable around good vampires, hadn’t been exposed to the dangerous vampires who had no care in the world for the lives of innocents. “I’m n-not an animal,” Maya stammered out, wincing at the feeling of his fingers on her face. She made a move to swat them away. “If anyone is an animal here, it’s you. How could you do that? You have not right to just... murder someone.”

“Is it?” A simple question, and the vampire scrunched up his nose, shaking his head and crossing his arms in false annoyance. “Darn. Now I’m gonna be in the laws? Fucking shit, I hoped I would be a bad person.” Of course his tone was dripping up with sarcasm. “Why don’t you mind your own business, doggy?”

xx —“Hard to mind my own business when you’re just out here publicly murdering people.”’ Caleb’s eye were narrowed in a glare, his mind already trying to put together the best course of action. It wouldn’t make much sense to go to the police and Caleb didn’t trust the Council to really do anything about it. “If you’re going to be killing, you should be more discreet. But I’m sure most people would prefer you just didn’t at all.”

“Well we will definitely see the extent of my artistic creativity won’t we?”  Caroline trying to joke away her nerves.  She listened carefully as she followed Savannah to the canvas.  “Alright so basically just go at it?  It can’t be that hard, I mean as you said preschoolers do it everyday.”  Caroline stuck a finger in some blue paint before pausing a second to look at Savannah.  “Here goes nothing!”  As she spread the finger over a small part of the canvas, a smile spread across her face.  “Okay yeah this is fun, it’s a weird texture on your fingers.”

xx — Savannah smiled away a laugh, an adoring smile that made her seem entirely lost in the adorableness of Caroline. “See, there you go!” The sight of the blue on the canvas was prominent, stark against the whiteness. “It does feel weird, but it’s weird in a cool way,” she attempted to summarize as she dipped her fingers in red paint. Savannah made she to get enough so she could flick her fingers toward the canvas and the red paint splattered across the canvas, some dipping into Caroline’s blue. “I’m totally hoping by the end of this your inner child will have sprung free and you’ll have finally experienced the joy that preschoolers get to enjoy.” Savannah leaned over to press a kiss to Caroline’s cheek. “And I get to see you being absolutely adorable.”

reckless-nico:

“Depends on the circumstances I guess.”  Nico shrugged, not liking to assume.  Maybe there was a black magic user who wasn’t a twisted monster out there. At Jasper’s last words he just quirked an eyebrow, not ready to completely believe the other yet.  “Hopefully that desire continues.”

xx —“I’m always going to want to make your sister happy,” Jasper said, glancing over to Nico. “I’ll spend every day that I have with her doing what I can to make her happy. Admittedly, I am bound to upset her or make her mad on occasion; relationships are something we both seem to be learning how to do. Regardless, all I want is for her to be happy. It there ever comes a time when I’m doing more bad than good for Athena... “ Jasper trailed off, shrugging his shoulders with a sad look. The last thing he ever wanted to do was leave Athena and he certainly had no plans for that. But if he became detrimental to her well-being, he’d have to do what is right for her, not him.

xx — “Oh my god,” Savannah gasped. That was the first time she’d ever witnessed a public break up, especially one that ended with food dumped all over someone. “I can’t believe that just happened, I thought that was something that only happened in movies!”

“I can’t argue with that glowing review. But I won’t hate it.” He promised, ducking his head to hide his shy grin. “Not if you like it so much.”

xx —“It’s one of my favorites. I watched it as a kid when I bounced around through homes,” Faz said with a fond smile on his lips. There wasn’t much through that time that made him smile, but the movie always did. “The animation is just adorable and it’ll tap into your inner child which everyone needs every once in awhile.”
