What do you want for Christmas? || Camlos

[cameronthoth]

Cameron let out a gentle laugh at almost knocking his boyfie over ~ he thought it was damn cute and kinda hoped he could have. The unicorn put on a childish pout face. “Nein, geschlossen Sie nach oben!” he replied just as childishly as his facial expression portrayed. Cam let out a small squeak feeling the peck on his cheek, finishing off with a small giggle. Hearing the disappointing tease he put on a fake sad face.

"Big meanie…" he mumbled. "You could totes pull it off and I wanna see!" with that Cameron gave a light flick to his nose. "Aber das ist der springende Punkt des Geschenk!" he whined to his boyfriend. "Come oooonnn ~ I’ll dress up as sexy batman

for yooou!” he said beginning to ragdoll on Carlos. “Pleeeeeeaaassse!"

[starseekerarbendroth]

The expression was precious, especially on Cameron's sweet face. The elf should constantly be in fear of catching diabetes from even being close to him, even if he knew better than that. "Nein, du!" he replied, mimicking the other to a T. They had known eachother long enough that it wasn't too hard. "Hell yeah, I told you I'm the biggest meanie out there. Should'a listened, you dork!" he teased.

The cocky banter was short lived and he found himself diving right back into embarrassment. "Mein Gott, babe! Spandex is just not in my wardrobe! I'm barely willing to wear tight jeans," a tinge of whine in his voice. "Cameron," he groaned, face like a tomato. "Fine, but I know you so if you try to take any pictures of me, Ich werde dich töten mich , Brat!" He blew a burst of air into his cheek.

[fintanthefiery]

A bright smile reached her lips seeing that it was her friend Carlos. “Thanks!” she replied tenderly. Fintan let out a small giggle at the remark. “I-I guess… I have already read it so it shouldn’t take me as long ~” she trailed off. She pursed her lips for a moment. ” I-I haven’t seen you around for a-a while… Whacha been up to?”

[starseekerarbendroth]

The smile only proved to make him more bashful, awkward; drawing out some part of him from way back when that had no idea how to deal with social situations. "Oh, you're that kind of reader, huh? Well, I guess that makes two of us," he scratched the back of his head again. "Oh, um. Mostly working, that or spending time with Cameron."

What do you want for Christmas? || Camlos

“CARLOS CARLOS CARLOS CARLOS CARLOS!" he shouted out across the snow covered school yard, running with high knees across the sparkling blanket of white. "Legolas! Ich bin verdammt kalt und ich liebe es!" with that he slipped on the ice beneath the snow, falling face first with a fwomp into the powder. Cameron shot up quickly. “I’m good!” he quickly finished the distance to his boyfriend and leaped on him into a hug. “Wenn ich nicht aufwachen mit Ihnen in einem sexy Robin Kostüm unter meinem Baum Weihnachtsmorgen, werde ich sauer zu sein!”

[starseekerarbendroth]

The day was a fucking blizzard, at least considering how the weather had been barely a week ago. The whole place had the weirdest mood swings, the damned place. Carlos darted his head up from his book, smiling slightly at the sight that filed his eyes. His boyfriend, running through the snow like some cartoon. "Hey, hey, hey, slow down there, sparkles!" he called out just before witnessing the unicorn face plant. He snorted before shooting up, ready to run and help him up; but of coarse that energetic man was too quick. He couldn't help but break out laughing at the assurance. This was literally what kept him going every day, what had kept him going for so long.

He himself almost slipped when Cameron jumped into his arms, barely balancing it out with a small stumble. He pulled him close and breathed out into his hair. His face immediately brightened, deep red covering his face. "Halt die Klappe, Cameron," he chuckled, placing a kiss on his cheek. "Obwohl, wenn es das ist wirklich das, was Sie erwarten ... Sie sind in der für eine ganze Enttäuschung," the words were teasing, really... Though the true reason he would refuse would have to be his ego... Perhaps his lack of confidence. "Ich bin bereit, Ihre vorhanden sein, aber nicht so sehr daran interessiert Dressing in einer 'sexy Robin' Kostüme. Es tut mir leid , Baby." He finished, his face still quite red.

[fintanthefiery]

"U-Um… S-Sorry to bother you, b-but could you help me reach that book..? Th-That one… Life of Pi.” she asked nervously to the person with their back to her.

[starseekerarbendroth]

"Yeah, sure thing." Carlos reached over the short girl easily, pulling down the book with a shy smile. "There. Here for a bit of light reading?" he asked quietly.

[starseekerarbendroth]

"I understand that as well…different reasons but I still get it" Raina gave a small sympathetic smile to let him know that she wasn’t just saying that, that she did understand feeling like you had to put people off. It was something she had had to do often, though unlike Carlos she didn’t do it to protect herself she did it to protect the other person.

"Thank you" the girl replied in response to the boys comment about her name as she scanned the book "Alright so you’re total comes to 15 dollars" Raina reached over and retrieved a bag, placing the book inside it and then placing it on the counter as she waited for the star elf to pay.

[starseekerarbendroth]

Carlos looked down for a moment, feeling bashful for the first time in a long time without his Cameron near. He scratched the back of his head nervously and gave a half smirk, "well, I hope that improves for the both of us." He locked his eyes with anything that wasn't the girl in front of him... He wasn't fond of the idea of seeming rude in front of her, but he was afraid his face might go full apple if he wasn't careful. 

"You're welcome," he spoke in a distracted way, looking at the book as she scanned it in and pulled out a bag. He reached into his back pocket, pulled out his wallet, and sorted through it. He placed the appropriate bills on the counter and allowed a small smirk again. "Thank you... It was... nice meeting you."

[starseekerarbendroth]

Arrogance was not a trait she enjoyed in other people, a little bit of it really never harmed anyone but at a certain point it could become too much so she was put at ease by Carlos’ explanation “I get it, I feel that way about certain things as well…maybe just work on your wording” she half joked with a playful smile.

Raina reached out and shook his hand “Nice to meet you Carlos, I’m Raina Bellamy” she let go of his hand as she walked the few steps over to the cash register. “So what got you interested in astronomy?” she asked curiously. 

[starseekerarbendroth]

Carlos looked down for a moment, letting out a sigh and a soft shrug. "I got used to making sure to put people off, I've never had the best experiences with 'friends'," he allowed another explanation... There was something about this girl that made him feel at ease... Usually if someone said something like that to him he'd be snapping at them right now.

"Raina," he repeated, the name sounded odd with his accent... "Very pretty," he allowed hesitantly. He followed her to the counter silently and looked up at her when she spoke again. "Oh, it's a family thing. I'm a star elf, so..." there wasn't much explanation needed there, she wasn't an idiot.

[starseekerarbendroth]

Raina was slightly shocked by the bluntness of his statement and she could hear the underlying annoyance but what he was annoyed at she was unsure. “Well it certainly couldn’t hurt” she replied nervously.

"You’re welcome. Would you like to buy it or just read it here in store? technically I’m not allowed to let you do that but if you find a good corner where I can’t see you we could probably get away with it" the dark haired girl offered.

[starseekerarbendroth]

Carlos looked down and scratched his palms lightly, her nerves getting to him for a moment. A sharp sigh escaped his lips, "I just mean that I wish there were more people who understood and appreciated the universe like it deserves, it's all of our home no? Plus our place of origin," he stemmed off and scratched the back of his head nervously. Astronomy always brought back out that soft part of him, the shy nerd he remembered like a song he had heard in the background of a bar chat.

He allowed a soft smirk, "I appreciate the offer, however luckily for you, I would love to buy it." Her kindness was almost offsetting, after all he wasn't used to it. "I'm Carlos, by the way. Carlos Arbendroth..." he stemmed off before holding out his hand as a second thought.

[lawrence-johnsen]

Lawrence grinned “What gave it away? Is it my hair? I suppose a trim wouldn’t hurt..” He trailed off, a smile still lingering on his lips. 

[starseekerarbendroth]

A pause from Carlos as he cocked his brow, surprised by the man's sense of self control. "Yeah sure, Sparky. Just the hair," he tried, completely offset by the other's calm.

[lawrence-johnsen]

"I am not a dog. Do not treat me like one, skippy.”

[starseekerarbendroth]

"Really? You sure as Hell look like a dog to me?"

[starseekerarbendroth]

"This is real blood isn't it?" Carlos demanded irritably... This was precisely why he loathed Halloween and all it's events. "Sure as hell smells real."

[rainadervillabellamy]

Raina felt guilt as she watched the boy go to defend himself, it was obvious she had frightened him and that had not been her intent at all and the guilt worsened when he picked up the book she had dropped and put it in its rightful place. “Thank you…sorry again for reacting the way I did” the girl apologized sincerely. Raina’s eyes then traveled to the book he held in his hand and she took a minute to think about where the second volume might be “Well it will probably be in our astronomy section let’s go check. If it’s not there I can always check in the back we just got a new shipment of books it could be with them” Raina turned and walked over to the astronomy shelf, her eyes quickly scanned over the ‘C’ section.

"Doesn’t look like it’s out here we could have sold out. Astronomy has become a pretty popular subject as of late. Just give me a minute to look in the back" Raina made her way to the back hastily and began looking through the box labeled ‘Astronomy’ a victorious smile placing itself on her face as she pulled a copy out. The dark haired girl walked back to where the boy was standing and held out the book to him "There you go, the cosmos volume two. We just got the order in so it is brand new"  

[starseekerarbendroth]

The stranger's expression got him thinking, and the subject of astronomy softened him; the elf shook his head lightly, giving a half smirk in assurance... Usually he tried to avoid friendly behavior, it just gave you more people to worry about in the end... In more ways than one. This was some sort of sanctuary, one of the few times he could feel safe out of his love's company. A heaven of sorts, and one does not disrespect an angel of Heaven... Or at least the symbolic kind. "Old habits," he commented as she followed him with her eyes; that was as much as he would admit in regards to his actions. He followed her despite knowing the results of her search, allowing her to check if he hadn't been thorough enough... Even after searching one hundred times over. He nodded as she spoke, eyes brightening at the mention of a new shipment. She seemed to know the place well for only have been there a little while... Somehow this made a small flame of respect flicker inside him.

A wave of mild disappointment washed over him due to the results, however Carlos followed her eagerly towards the back. The mention of the popularity of astronomy got him rather defensive... But it wasn't as if the stars belonged to him. "Good, perhaps a bit of knowledge on the universe would benefit the people of this school," he stated bluntly, thinking of the few times he had expressed his interests and gotten little back. he waited politely, his hands tucked behind his back and eyes to the floor. He smiled at the book fondly, "wonderful." A pause before he decided quietly, "thank-you."

[rainadervillabellamy]

Raina glared at the top shelf of the bookcase and let out a sound of annoyance. It was her first day working at the bookstore as well as her first day in the town and already she was running into problems 'hopefully this won't be an omen of the rest of my time here'. Raina had always been aware that at 5’2 she was considerably short but she hadn’t thought it mattered working in a bookstore, boy was she wrong. The succubus moved the hand that was currently not holding the book she was meant to be placing onto her hip and looked around for some sort of assistance, her eyes landed on a rickety ladder “Well if I ever want to fall to my death I’ll be sure to use that” she muttered out. The girls eyes returned to the shelf and once again tried to stretch her arm to reach it, even going so far as to go on her tip toes and when that hadn’t worked she had actually attempted to jump up to no avail. “Come on Raina it’s just putting a book on a shelf you can do this. Just take a minute and think” It was then that the Succubus started considering using her powers of levitation and as she did she began to worry her lip between her teeth, using her power would decrease the length of time she could go without feeding but then again if the ladder broke or if she fell off of it and hurt herself the amount of time would decrease even more drastically. With her options weighed carefully the girl looked from left to right cautiously and then held out her hand, her eyes took on their demonic shade of red and the book floated off her palm and floated higher and higher until finally it was lined up with the top shelf all that was needed now was to push the book forwards. It was then that the girl noticed something or someone out of the corner of her eye and she panicked, the loss of focus causing the book to drop to the ground and her eyes to return to their human colour as she turned to look at the stranger with a startled expression on her face.

Oh crap someone had caught her using- wait a minute. 'Calm down Raina this is a place for supernatural beings. You don't have to wipe their memory'  Right. That had been one of the main reasons her father had suggested she come here, to be able to use and expand the powers that she had not been able to when in the strictly mortal world. With the reassurance that there was no danger in what the stranger had seen, if they had indeed seen anything, Raina felt more at ease than she had been before but some anxiety lingered still. “Sorry about that you startled me. Welcome to Boogies & Fog Books, is there anything I can help you find?” A welcoming smile replaced the anxiety filled look she had worn before.

[starseekerarbendroth]

Even with the vast rows of shelf there seemed to be little material. Carlos looked at the pile of books he had been reading over on the table in pure disappointment, taking a break from his pointless quest. He had looked through the astronomy section of the library a hundred times over, and yet he was willing to look through it a hundred more times to try and memorize more of the wonderful words of the universe. A sighed as he sorted, "'commentary of the comits'...." he rolled his eyes, "of coarse, and next thing we know gravity likes to tango." He scoffed and placed the book back gently, despite the hostility he felt towards the author no book deserved to be defaced or misused. He moved on, wandering back to his pile and reading over the titles once more. "Everyone accounted for," he sighed, scratching the back of his head as he thought. Then it caught his eye, 'the cosmos v.1'. His heart jumped in excitement. Volume 1. 'It must have been lost among the others', he decided with a smile... He couldn't believe he hadn't noticed prior. The next problem would be to find it. He moved to the first shelf at the far corner of the library and began his search, book after book disappointing him with dull recipes and suggestions to a life of water... He turned the corner to see an unfamiliar face, he knew who all worked here; not personally, but their faces were engraved in his mind. Her eyes were red and she was levitating a book upwards... Must be a demon of some sort. He flinched when it dropped and she spun on her heal.

His hands swung up in a defensive motion, somehow ready for her to jump him. No... This wasn't like his old home. He straightened up slightly, clearing his throat stubbornly and approaching her. He leaned down and picked up the discarded book before she answered, placing it in it's rightful place. He side-glanced her before moving back cautiously, "yeah. I was looking for volume two of this book," he held up 'the cosmos', not exactly needing help but deciding the conversation might be a lot less awkward if he didn't snap at her and leave... Plus Cameron was getting sick of him being a dick to everyone, so he may as well try and be decent.

A small feeling of guilt began to creep into Constantine as he could sense how incredibly nervous the other was. However he was not worried, he knew Carlos was very capable, not just of climbing the tree but conquering fear. If he was to fall, Constantine would easily catch him. He shimmied up the tree with ease but kept to one branch below the other - just in case. “How is the view? The stars should be coming out shortly.”

[starseekerarbendroth]

The fear was slowly fading as Carlos looked over the trees, swaying softly in the cool breeze. It was like peeking into heaven. The beauty and grace of the leaves twisting above the trees and the drifting cloud. He almost forgot to breath. He was woken from his daydream by the voice beneath him, "o-oh? Yeah. It's," he looked back over the trees, smiling. "It's wonderful." He snapped himself out of it and reached a hand down, offering aspot beside him for Constantine.

[cameronthoth]

Cameron let out a laugh as the other restrained him with a hug, so freaking happy to be in his boyfriends arms again after a forever apart. “Das ist correct! And I’m hella pissed about it because that was so rude. Totally didn’t look in the mirror and just about pee myself~” he said with playful sarcasm. “To be fair Carlos - to be fair -  I only cried like the whole time.” he said before letting out a laugh, wiggling his arms free so he could rest them over Carlos’ shoulders, giving a small purr noise as the other kissed his nose. “But where were you? I was hoping you’d be my Robin and I missed you a bunch ~ what did you get turned into?”

[starseekerarbendroth]

Carlos allowed his boyfriend to squirm, he had always been a little too energetic to hold down for a long period of time,  but he wasn't exactly prepared to let go. He chuckled softly, "yeah, headmasters can be total bitches~. But what'cha gonna do? Education and faulty, but present, protection? Pretty wicked deal," he admitted, pursing his lips in thought. "Oh? Only the whole time? That's pretty good!" he encouraged with a laugh. The embrace was warm and welcoming, causing Carlos to lean their foreheads together contently. "I was-... Okay, I admit I totally pussied out but in my defense-!" His face brightened and he looked away, "well... I was a yeti... It was embarrassing so I just sort of avoided the outside... If I would have known you were a clown I would have been there for you in seconds, Batman." He looked at his boyfriend with apologetic eyes.

Cameron wandered around Verdandi dorm looking for his lover Carlos. He would call his name every now and then and follow it up with a bird call, he wasn’t able to find him during the whole ordeal which made him a bit upset. After all he was turned into a freaking evil clown, those sick headmasters… "Carlos! HEY CARLOS - BAE!" he called out down the hall where his room was.  Cameron knocked on the door to his room enthusiastically. "Carlos I’m batman! Now ask me why! BECAUSE IM A BADASS THAT’S WHY! Got turned into my worst fear no biggie ~” he said happily, dancing behind the door. “I DIDN’T EVEN GIVE A BOTHER BECAUSE I’M AWESOME BRAVE STALLION!”

[starseekerarbendroth]

Carlos lay in his bed, staring at a crack that hadn't been repaired just right... Even now that everything seemed like it was completely alright, the seams were so close to ripping. He flinched and sat up when he heard a familiar voice, a smile spreading over his face. He opened the door and pulled his boyfriend into a hug mid-dance, strangling the flailing limbs with a tight hug. "They turned you into a clown?" Immediately knowing what his boyfriend meant by 'worst fear'. "That's sick as Hell..." To be honest he been hiding out during the event, embarrassed by what he had become... It wasn't exactly pleasant to think about and he had to vacuum four times to get all the hair out. "I bet you cried, don't lie about being Batman~," he teased and gave him a quick peck kiss on the nose.

[constantineerebos]

Constantine smiled up as the other immediately began to climb - very apparent that he was trying to prove himself for his own pride. It was adorable really. He moved over to the branch next to where Carlos had started and swiftly began to move up the tree. “Don’t be afraid to request assistance please - I would hate if you put yourself in a precarious position.” he said as he climbed. 

[starseekerarbendroth]

Carlos scoffed a bit, pulling himself up and trying to ignore the pounding in his chest. Just one, two three... Repeat. The height was beginning to make him feel nauseous... But there was no going back now. The top felt a million miles away as the elf's limbs shook silently. He took a deep breath as he pulled himself up onto the highest branch he could reach without destroying the tree. He swallowed hard as he looked out over the greenery, the sky... Just don't look down. he was speechless.
