rayvang:

Ray rather not agree with Gabriel but the plan was logical. It would benefit all of them, to make this town fall into a rather chaotic state. Ray could break away from the coven, gain more power for Mina. It was risky but… His need for freedom was becoming rather strong as of late. Without Mina around to calm him or insisting for him to trust her… He has become more agitated. Especially after talking to quite a few other people in town. “Those that took her powers would have to come into light if there is chaos” Ray spoke, not necessarily to Gabriel but more of a thought spoken out loud. It would allow him to have a chance to understand how the Supreme’s power was taken… And possibly allow him to give the other coven a chance to end the woman that was keeping him away from being completely free. “And so the board is set. Chaos will more or less be inevitable in this game.” 

Gabriel nodded and he already imagined what the town could and would look like. He had waited too long already to unleash himself up the innocent citizens and the more days passed, the more his longing for blood and violence started to grow. Even though Arcadia was quite eventful for those who were not used to anything other that his, he missed his thrill and the adrenaline rushing through his veins. "And that will be our chance to get them back." He knew that if they would not manage to give Evelyn her powers back, he would be the strongest warlock in the coven and he was not planning on taking the burden of the leadership on his shoulders. "All we need to do is move the pieces to their places."

“The superhuman strength, you mean? Yeah, it’s saved my ass a few times, at least.” she admitted, albeit rather begrudgingly. Even a year later, she found it difficult to bask in the glory of being supernatural. Yes, she had speed, and strength, and would never need reading glasses. ( thank god. ) All abilities, however, felt chained to anchors, memories of all she’d run from, and all those she’d hurt with that strength. There was only one thing she could hold onto, the rare hypersensitive touch. A fickle thing, an unwelcome thing, in most aspects of her life. But on the occasion she indulged in a bit of pleasure, she would sooner thank her abilities than condemn them. 

“There’s that chivalry.” she quipped, an easy smirk on her tinted lips, before her eyes narrowed curiously at the man across from her. “So, how old are you?” she asked directly. “Less than a hundred?” she asked, her interest peaked, at least, as long as the cogs in her head continued to turn. 

The promise was enough, she figured, shifting her weight from one foot to the other before nodding at him to throw the ball once more. 

"I think that might indeed be one of the examples." He had to admit that he had been referring to the endurance he had gained because of his vampire powers. He also had to admit that he might have been referring to the hypersensitive skin and the heightened emotions. Even though he was still after the same sort of thrills he had always been longing for, he could now live them to the fullest and enjoy them even more. "I happen to be a vampire by choice." He looked at the other vampire and locked his eyes with hers for a brief moment of time. "And even though there are certain downsides that might make life not always easier, I do not regret choosing to add the vampire powers to my arsenal."

Gabriel curled his lips up into a smirk. "I might enjoy backing my promises up with deeds." He nodded his head slightly and then he thought about her question for a moment. He had always enjoyed sounding like those old vampires who had lived centuries, but even when counting his human years he was not even half way her guess. "I am afraid that I don't even make it to fifty yet." But the fifteen years of being  vampire he had had did make him long for more, that was certain. 

He saw her nod and then he tensed all his muscles once more before he threw the ball at her once more.

Double Date Night

Upon hearing the doorbell go, Erik let out a groan but dragged himself to the front door and pulled it open. “For me? How sweet.” He took the flowers off Gabriel then tossed them behind him to where he knew Kennedy would be stood before moving out of the way, letting her greet her guests while Erik slunk back into the kitchen, his glass still in his hand. 

@kennedyxosmith·

Kennedy was taken by surprise when flowers were tossed back to her, but she caught them and looked at them. “These are beautiful. Thank you.” She placed them on the counter as a reminder to put them in a vase before walking up to the door. “Please, do come in.” She stepped out of the way. “I am really glad you both could make it. I’m sure this is going to be a great night.” Though, Erik’s attitude could be better, she wasn’t going to comment on it. She wasn’t sure if he didn’t want to just be here, or if he was mad at her for any reason. 

“Would either of you like a glass of wine or bourbon? I have anything else if you don’t want either of those as well.” She grinned brightly. Kennedy loved being the perfect host. She moved to show the bottles that she had.

@torres-natalia

She started laughing. “You would have my jealousy to deal with, of course, but I don’t think Erik would like it very much. He doesn’t really seem like the sharing type…” Which was only good for her, even when she wasn’t that afraid of losing Gabriel tonight. Kennedy seemed perfectly happy with Erik, the last time they spoke. She waited until he opened her door, slowly getting used to the way he always wanted to take care of her, took his arm with a smile and walked to the door, where Erik opened. She raised an eyebrow when he just tossed away the flowers and glanced at Gabriel how he would react on it. They were expected here tonight, weren’t they? But yeah… Kennedy’s reaction made sure this wasn’t just some kind of misunderstanding. “Thank you for having us…”, Natalia said. “And I’d really love a glass of wine, thank you.” She wasn’t planning on getting drunk, at least not yet. And she knew she was at a disadvantage tonight, with three vampires present.

@mrgabrielsharp​

Even though he could sense Natalia's slight discomfort when Erik opened the door, Gabriel was in a way relieved that the vampire he had gotten to know during a way too amusing night had not disappeared completely. "It is my pleasure to enjoy your hospitality and I'm really happy that you invited Natalia too." He exchanged a short look with the werewolf girl at his side and then he smiled when he noticed the bottles, perfectly placed on the table. Kennedy might have told him something about her hosting skills and so far she at least lived up to the expectations. "I prefer a glass of bourbon." He debated whether or not he could ask for an additional shot of AB+, but he didn't want to make Natalia feel left out any more that she probably already did.

Erik just looked at the glass in his hand then let out a loud sigh at the oncoming situation. He hated that she had to lure him in here just to get him to do something like this, sure, he wasn’t exactly the most forthcoming vampire in town but still. 

This was going to be one awkward night.

@kennedyxosmith·

Kennedy kept the food on low heat so it could stay warm, but not burning it. She moved to Erik. She smiled. “I love you.” She leaned in and kissed his cheek softly. “And I’m sorry. I know you probably have better things to do, but I am glad you’re staying.” She smiled brightly. 

@torres-natalia·

“Ah… that’s the smart move. Charming two ladies at once. You’re not going to make me jealous tonight, aren’t you?” She was just teasing him. She could handle a bit of flirting as long as she knew that she was the one he’d come home with in the end and she didn’t doubt that for a moment. She shrugged. “Maybe I’m just projecting? I know I suck at behaving myself with you around, so…”, she winked. She’d manage. Maybe she wouldn’t manage to keep her hands of him completely, but she had the feeling both Kennedy and Erik could handle that. She gripped the seat of the car when Gabriel was speeding towards what would probably be Kennedy’s house, forcing herself to relax the moment she noticed what she was doing. He wasn’t going to get them in an accident. And even if he would, she’d come out of it. She got over an arrow in her leg, after all. At least they managed to get to their destinations quickly, she noticed when Gabriel stopped the car in front of a house. “She lives here?”

@mrgabrielsharp​

"I am afraid that if I would try to charm Kennedy a little too much, I will not only have your jealousy to deal with." He winked, remember all too well that he and Erik both had a different kind of morality than their other halves. Probably Kennedy and Natalia would be seen as the better halves, but Gabriel dared to doubt that at least a little. "And I will try to make sure we both behave then." He winked and when he parked the car in front of Kennedy's house, he pressed a soft kiss on her nose before he got out of the car, quickly grabbed the bouquet of flowers and then rushed to her side to open the door. In an old fashioned way he offered her his arm and then he lead her to the front door. "I do hope so, because this is the address I've gotten." He pressed the doorbell and he shifted his weight from one leg to the other while he waited for Kennedy to open the door.

erikhawtcrn:

“Aw, that one is no fun.” Erik groaned out loud on purpose. “Okay, are you attracted to us?” He smirked a little at his question. “Depending on how you answer is what comes next.” 

Gabriel smirked and he let his eyes wander over her nervous and trembling body. Of course, he could easily compel all those worries and sorrows away, but there was little to not entertainment value in that. "You can be absolutely honest, of course." He winked and then a small and breakable voice whispered. "You both are very handsome, yes..."

[mrgabrielsharp]

tangledxmagic:

“Hmm…somehow I just knew that you had refined and expensive tastes in alcohol as well as other areas.” It isn’t exactly difficult to determine that, based off of what she has seen about him so far. 

“Really?” Amanda raises a brow of curiosity when he speaks about his parents, listening quietly as he continues to explain. There’s a softness in her eyes that shows a good degree of understanding when she hears what he has to say. “Material needs are important but shouldn’t replace other things that are equally, perhaps more important.” Having said that, Amanda has had little emotional support and love over the years, so even though she has said that, she has been quite materialistic sometimes. “I am glad to hear that. Nobody should really be stopped from achieving their dreams and goals. I suppose there are exceptions–but in general we should all be free to try and succeed in them.” There are times when she wonders what her own parents would think of how she has turned out, but the fact they had given her up to begin with–their opinion doesn’t matter much to the brunette. “Do you still have contact with your parents and do they live around here?”

–She’s wary.

There’s no denying it. For so long, Amanda has relied on herself and a good part of her will remain that way. Yet surely if she could progress further and be better, then that’s a good thing for her, right?

“I certainly have no damn intention of ending up as the next corpse in this town.” There had been a one or two dangerous encounters recently. “I’m not sure how you can help…I’m…well..I don’t think I am like you…” Now is the time to be straight and blunt about it. “Tell me what you are, Gabriel….cards on the table for this…and I will too.”

"I am the kind of person who wants to enjoy life to the fullest and if I have everything I need to do so. Why should I settle for anything less?" He cocked his head slightly and he stared up and down the woman in front of him. He had not even attempted to hide his riches and wealth, but he had never gotten the impression that she minded. 

"My parents believed that my wishes and longings were forbidden. They have been told the same stories over and over ever since they were little children and unlike me, they believed them and toke them from truth." He bit his lips slightly and he thought about the anger he would face if he would ever tell and show them what he had become. Who he had become. "Although a part of me has never stopped loving them, I have decided that staying away from the is better for all of us." He had not called them anymore, even though he had dialed their number a few times. In a way he was afraid to lose them, but in a way he also knew that things would get easier once they had finished their lives and had left this earth. Unless their spirits would decide to roam around the world and would discover the truth anyway, but that was a problem he preferred not to focus on right now. 

Gabriel took a deep breath and his eyes met hers. He saw something he had not seen in a very long time, ever since he had met her in the woods, lost and looking for answers she had probably not found. "Do you want to know what I tried to become and reach and why my parents tried to stop me?" He curled his lips up into a slight smile and he manipulated the wind around him. "I created something that nature doesn't allow to exist, at least, that's what everyone believes."

[mrgabrielsharp]

rayvang:

What Gabriel was discussing was pretty on point. The wolves don’t seem too concern with politics in the town or interacting with other species that were roaming. Perhaps it was due to the whole power struggle that was happening a few months ago? “They are wrapped up in their own affairs” He murmured, wondering if that would continue. It certainly would work in Evelyn’s advantage as well as his. Give time to see which wolf pack can be manipulated to turn their sights onto the new group that has trapped them here to begin with. Which, once again Ray reluctantly agreed, the Lykos pack certainly seems to be the ones that might come out on top. He is hoping for that outcome. “Perhaps bring the war among the packs to light in front of people” He raised an eyebrow, “More so than it is… Certainly it would make many more… Focused on them.” People usually ignore those lurking in the shadows if a monster is right in front of you. The fact that Gabriel might set this in motion could work greatly with Ray’s chess game. Take a few more pawns off the table.

Gabriel squeezed his eyes and he let the thoughts cross his minds while he weighed them over and over again. "I think that we might be able to add some extra fire into this werewolf fight and maybe we can even find a way to get the other coven and the vampires involved in it." He wondered what would happen if they would discover that he was working on a cure against the one thing that made werewolves lethal for vampires. "It would give them something more important to worry about. After all, once a months they would be very vulnerable with no possible cure." Gabriel cocked his head. "And while the entire town is lost in the chaos of a war that was not even supposed to be theirs, we can make sure that we find whoever has Evelyn's powers and return them to her. I'm certain that after that we can use the chaos to our advantage too." Gabriel took a sip of his drink. "I don't know exactly what plans Evelyn has for this time, bit I'm certain that she's not against a little more chaos."

    Once he stepped back from the topic of finance, Lexi felt more comfortable. There was something in Gabriel’s manner…Maybe even in just that wink of his that had her doubting, much like she had off the bat ( pun intended ), that he wasn’t all smiles and civility. He was a vampire. Even Kennedy, the good vampire of the North had a darker shtick to her. She had less trouble masking it though, from what little Lexi had learnt about her.

      “Healthy, friendly…” Lexi tossed the words in her mouth like the ball Gabriel had in his hand, a smirk gracing her lips. “You sound too good to be trespassing property with a stranger.” 

     “Sure!” she agreed, swinging the bat lazily, and internally hoping she didn’t somehow let it slip and make a fool of herself. “If you want to use them to decapitate me, why not?” 

   Something about the fact that Gabriel wasn’t a familiar face, brought about a side of Lexi she hadn’t been able to show in a quick minute. No one ever said she was easy to win over. Even doing something simple like participating in a conversation about baseball, Lexi failed to keep locked and stowed away her particular knack for sass. 

    Well, he kept walking into it, she thought. As Gabriel actually took a moment to applaud her potential, however menial the task was, Lexi hesitated. The sentiment, shallow in retrospect, sparked some friction in the otherwise rusty cogs of her heart. She didn’t change up her demeanor, though her next words offered a drop less sarcasm than she would have otherwise brought to the table.

    “I’m sure you’re older than me, given that cute little accent the rest of you carry around town, so I figure the chances I hurt you are a little slimmer, but I’d like to keep them…Eh, nonexistent?” she pitched. It was a rather complicated way of saying she didn’t want to hurt him, and even with that, she felt tempted to add she was almost bothered enough by his fastball to do it.

"I might have heard that comment before, but I do not need to tell you that there are certain pleasant sides to being a vampire that I do wish to enjoy and that are not always seen as perfect." He winked once more and he wondered how long she was already a vampire and how much of those pleasant sides she had allowed herself to experience. He knew that not everyone was like him, and probably for the surviving of the human race that was a good thing. "And tress passing property with a stranger while knowing to not get in trouble for it, might be one of those pleasant sides."

A smirk spread across his face and he shook his head. "I'll make sure that you will return home in one piece. What kind of person would I be to invite someone for a game of baseball only to kill them in the process?" Although he had to admit that he might have thought about that option if Lexi had been human and not a vampire like him. After all, he had not killed anyone for a way too long time and his fingers were itching to return to the one thing he enjoyed most.

"And I do have to admit that I might have adapted my way of speaking to how old I would like to sound." He winked. "I am not as old as I would want to become and not as old as I prefer people to believe I am. To be honest, the age difference between me and my girlfriend might be a little less shocking that in some quite popular young adult books." He looked at the girl in front of him once more. "And I promise that I will not be angry if you end up accidentally hurting me anyway."

[mrgabrielsharp]

erikhawtcrn:

But Erik kept hold of her wrist, drinking far more than necessary and that made her start to panic so Erik finally let her go and slumped back in the seat. “Go for it.” He indicated to her with a wave of his hand. 

Gabriel squeezed his eyes a little and he could see the panic in her eyes as if her brain was still trying to understand what had just happened. She could barely open her mouth, let alone say something, but eventually she whispered "truth", which was something he had expected already.

A nice guy. Erik couldn’t help but let out a slight snort about that but covered it up with a cough smoothly. 

“So basically, I don’t have a choice. Thanks.” He didn’t sound too impressed though even with the glass in his hand and sex on the plate after it. Was this what she was going to stoop to? Having to lure him into a situation she knew he would hate? “Whatever, what time are they coming?”

@kennedyxosmith·

Kennedy smiled brightly. “Nope.” She kissed his cheek. “You’re fault for dating me.” She let out a small laugh. She moved back to the stove and continued to work on the food. “Seven?” She tilted her head to look at the time. “Any minute now. Just make yourself comfortable. It’s just going to be a fun night.” 

She took a sip of the glass of wine she had poured herself. “And I know you don’t eat food, so I’m not going to force you to get a plate. Your company is perfect enough.” 

@torres-natalia·

“Flowers, nice! I thought they were for Kennedy… but I’m not going to say no to that.” She liked that, the fact that he constantly brought small presents and tokens that he had thought about her. Never too big -she hadn’t seen a hot air balloon anywhere, luckily-, but attentive. “I’m going to put them in some water and then I’m all yours for the entire night.” She laughed when she did as she said. “Just behave while we’re still there, before they get a really bad impression of us, ok?” She grabbed her coat, took Gabriel’s hand in hers and walked him out of the door before locking it. “Well, let’s go then. Before all the vampires think a werewolf has a bad influence on you.”, she winked. 

@mrgabrielsharp​

Gabriel cocked his head slightly and he curled his lips up into a slight smirk. "I might have a second bouquet on the backseat of my care." He winked and he followed her through the house while he watched how she placed the flowers in the much deserved water. "And how dare you doubt that I will not be able to behave myself?" Gabriel raised his eyebrows a little and he felt the warmth of her hand in his, feeling satisfied that her feelings for him were not gone yet. That would be quite useful. "And I will make sure they can't blame you." He lead Natalia towards the car and after he had helped her to step in, he rushed towards the other side and did what he did best. He ignored whatever speed limit the state had set, simply because his senses were much better than any human senses could be.

[mrgabrielsharp]

lexibramptonrpg:

“I don’t see how that’s your business.” she chimed, her tone teasing in a way her words on paper might not have been. 

Money wasn’t such an easy topic for Lexi to talk about. Certainly not with the well-off vampires all around her who, as close friends as they were, would never truly understand or remember what it’s like to work to make end’s meet, and still come up short every time. Now she had the chance to adapt, like they did. It was a silver lining in an otherwise charcoal dark twist of fate. Even still, Lexi felt she’d never be able to run away from the pigeonhole she’d been squeezed into the moment her father walked out the door. By the recession, by the town, hell, by her mother.

Still smirking at her new companion, Lexi fearlessly met his narrowed gaze. She wondered if he thought he had figured her out yet, or if it was dawning on him that perhaps she wasn’t the kind of puzzle that should be solved. His initial answer was unexpected, but then he threw in an innuendo and the brunette couldn’t have rolled her eyes sooner. 

Gabriel barely gave her time to duck. Once the ball came hurdling her way in a speed unparalleled by any athletic machinery, she looked up and watched the ball rattled and bounce on the dirt beside her. Lexi looked over at him, jaw slackened, her heart quick now.

“What the hell?” 

"I do agree that it is not." Gabriel nodded and he cocked his head a slight bit. "It was nothing but a healthy curiosity and friendly interest in you as a person." He winked. Even though he had not always been a vampire and had not always had the riches he possessed now, he had to admit that he could not imagine what life would be like without money and with the constant need of having to accept jobs that were far below his interests and intelligence. His parents had certainly not given him everything he had longed for emotionally, but materially he had never had something to complain about. 

A grin spread across his face when Lexi managed to duck in time and he shrugged his shoulders. "When you possess certain talents and certain qualities, I do believe it's much more fun to actually use them to the fullest." He raised his eyebrows a little. "I am certain that if you had actually given it a try, you would have been able to catch that ball without much trouble and without much pain either." He stared at her and he wondered how long she was a vampire already. Probably not even as long as he was. "Why don't you use your own arm throwing that ball back at me? I am certain it does more damage than that machine you've turned on."

[mrgabrielsharp]

rayvang:

Ray nodded, but didn’t speak about the situation with Evelyn anymore. He did not express that they have been on a time limit since the coven has put up the barrier, knowing that there will be more people wanting to get out than those wanting to help them. Unless the person that took Evelyn’s power is an enemy of the town as well… But that would require asking questions that would bring more attention onto himself. Staying silent and observing is what he can do best, while the more charming man next to him can inquire to the inhabitants of this town. 

“I have interacted with the other packs roaming this town than I have with the one that is established here” Ray murmured, pondering on the thought of dealing with the wolves. They didn’t hold much interest to him, mostly due to the fact that a group of them during a full moon could rip him to shreds if he wasn’t careful. That and after interacting with one of the packs intending on taking over the area… It seemed like they were all going to destroy each other at some point. Glancing over at Gabriel, his eyebrows rose a bit, taking note that the situation with Evelyn was weighing on the man. He nodded, despite loathing the coven that he was in, “Then… The coven will work on it.” While he had no real intention of helping… Even he was getting a bit unsettled by dealing with the spirits in this limited area. “The vampires hint at power but they remained in control. Elusive. The wolves… I was starting to believe they were just going to destroy one another from the inside out. But that remains to be seen if that will be the case.” 

"I have been interacting with the wolves myself too." He thought about Natalia and about his short meetings with the others. "And even though they are quite lethal during that one night a month, they do not seem to bother much with the general politics in town." He squeezed his eyes for a moment and wondered when the wolves would figure out that there were only so many witches within the borders of this town capable of creating a spell like that. "I do actually agree that from what it seems it is more likely that they will turn on each other before they will turn on someone else, although I do believe that if the Lykos pack will end on top, they might not want to stop at simply being the leaders of their werewolf brothers and sisters." Gabriel frowned his eyebrows and thought about it for a moment. "We could of course use their war as a distraction and we could give the town something more important to worry about than the border, while we work on a solution for the current problem with Evelyn." He paused for a moment. "And I happen to know a powerful vampire who might be willing to play a part in that scenario."

[mrgabrielsharp]

tangledxmagic:

Amanda gives a small nod. “Ah…so you were one to drink plenty in your youth were you?” She shoots him an amused look. “I think I should drink more and then I would be less likely to suffer the consequences afterwards.” Yet what she usually does is not have a drink for a few days or perhaps a week or two and then go all out and downs a few glasses–resulting in a hangover. 

She isn’t sure whether he noticed her hesitation or not, but if so, Gabriel hasn’t indicated he did. She just figures that it might be best to not do anything that could jeopardise the pleasant atmosphere and conversation they have shared between them so far.

She blinks, but her line of vision remains connected with his as she listens to him talking about nature and his parents. Amanda might be wrong but she is pretty certain by how he is talking, that there is something in his words which connects him more than any human–just like it does with her. “I wish I knew my parents…though at least I found out a little about them recently.” She didn’t get much information from Remy. He wasn’t aware that her parents had given her up–but at least she knows why they had now. Though what they agreed to do, along with Remy, she can’t help but feel like she won’t forgive them. 

His next words do catch her attention though and she raises her brow. “I knew there was something with you….something I sensed…but I didn’t go with it….when I should’ve.” Her gaze remains firmly fixed on his. Declaring what she is, is something Amanda doesn’t often do voluntarily, yet with what he has just said, she knows he is aware of her too. “You’d help me?” She has struggled so long on her own, that it is quite difficult to believe he has just stated that. 

Gabriel raised his eyebrows slightly while he curled his eyebrows up. "I have always had a certain love for expensive and strong drinks. I do believe that has taught my liver and kidney's how to quickly react to alcohol in my system." He smirked and of course there was that small detail of where his body was programmed automatically to take care of unwanted invasions in a much more efficiënt way than non vampire and werewolf bodies could.

"And there are moments I wish I could unknown my parents." He cocked his head a little and he made eye contact with the beautiful young woman. "Although they did love me and provided me with all wanted material needs, I mostly got the impression they were creating a barrier between me and my dreams and goals." He folded his hands behind his back and shifted his weight from one leg to the other. "I can happily announce though that their attempts to stop me from doing everything I wanted have not worked too well." And therefore he had now not seen them for a very long time. He knew that not only they would hate who and what he had become, they would also attempt to kill him if they could. And that would most likely end in him killing them. He might not feel a certain love for his parents, but he did not want to kill them either, strangely enough. 

And there it was. Right when he was opening up a slight little more there was a certain crack in her mask, a crack that made him smile. "I do think that connected souls should help each other in this harsh and cruel world. After all, we do not want to end as the next corpses in this town, do we?" He cocked his head slightly. "I will teach you anything you're willing to learn." And he might abuse and use a slight bit of her powers for himself along the way.

Double Date Night

[gerardxmarcel]

kennedyxosmith:

erikhawtcrn:

Erik had been half asleep on the sofa in the front room when his phone chimed, as soon as he saw the picture she had sent him, all thoughts of napping went out of his mind, replaced with others. He just replied to the photo with the letter ‘K’ before getting off the sofa and headed out of the door after calling out to Zach that he was gonna go get laid, therefore not to wait up for him.

When Erik got to her house, he stopped at the front door, pausing for a second before wandering in. “Are you in the bedroom?” A small smirk graced his features… that was until he smelled food in the air. “What the hell?” 

Kennedy smiled when she heard Erik come in. She heard both his comments before smiling. “In the kitchen.” She moved away and went to Erik. “Please, don’t run out the door.” She smiled at him. “I promise sex after. Any kind you want, baby.” She bit her lip a bit. “So, I told Gabriel awhile ago I’d make him dinner, and then a double date turned about, and I knew if I told you you wouldn’t show up.” She took his hand and pulled him closer. “He’s a really nice guy and a good friend, and he is dating Natalia, so it was just a fun idea.”

She let his hand go before looking at the clock on the wall. “They should be here any minute.” She moved into the kitchen and poured him a glass of bourbon before going to hand it to him.

She wasn’t exactly waiting at the door when Gabriel was coming by, they were past that point now. That didn’t mean she wasn’t looking forward to see him, that there were still butterflies in her stomach when she heard the doorbell and that she wasn’t grinning like an idiot when her ridiculously handsome boyfriend was standing in front of her door when she opened it. “I missed you…”, she smiled when she stole a kiss before letting him in. “Is it very bad if I’m looking forward more to having you all to myself after dinner than the dinner itself? I can use a bit of you before the full moon later this week.” Although it could be fun. She liked Kennedy, she was at least trying to like Erik and it was kind of fun to spend time with other couples. She stole another kiss before grabbing her coat. “I think we should go in a minute?”

@mrgabrielsharp

Gabriel made sure to select the prettiest bouquet of flowers before he walked towards Natalia's front door. He curled his lips up into a charming smile and casually he leaned on his right leg while his finger moved to the doorbell. Even though there was a part of him growing tired of not being allowed to do anything that came to mind, he did enjoy the smile and the stolen kiss he had clearly earned by staying away for a little too long. "Although I'd say it's not that kind towards Kennedy and Erik, I do believe I share your feelings." He pressed the bouquet with flowers into her hands. "Because I have been horribly at getting my priorities straight lately." He cocked his head and raised his eyebrows. "And I assume Kennedy might not appreciate us being late, indeed."

“No filming.” Erik pointed at Gabriel with his free hand. He had gotten this far in life without some weirdo tracking him down through photos and videos in the past. “Sorry, but no.” he grabbed the offered wrist and took a bite out of it. 

Gabriel squeezed his eyes a little, but he curled his lips up into a smile. "What a pity, this could have been a true youtube gem." He crossed his arms over his chest while he watched Erik taking a bite out of the girl's wrist. "So, I assume you are next, Erik?"

Kennedy smiled and shrugged. “I mean, you really don’t have to bring anything at all, but I won’t say no if you brought something.” She couldn’t wait to prepare and make sure everything was clean and perfect at her place. “This will be a lot of fun. Erik and I don’t spend time with other couples.”

Gabriel raised his eyebrows slightly. "And I believe that when someone invites you to dinner it is nothing but polite to bring something." He curled his lips up into a smile. "I am certain that we will have a lovely evening." He nodded his head a little. "I am already looking forward to tomorrow and I'm certain Natalia is too."

Natalia: Ok, I'll be ready

Natalia: Anything I should know about what to wear?

Natalia: Tomorrow is going to be great

Natalia: And it's just before the full moon. It works out ;)

Gabriel: Kennedy has assured me that this dinner is nothing formal. I'm sure you will look beautiful in whatever you decide to wear

Gabriel: And no matter how much I love you, I will be safely hidden during the full moon
