Dorian passed outside on the front yard, hands shoved in his pockets, for what felt like forever before he finally knocked on the door. He couldn’t remember the last time he had just knocked, but this didn’t feel like a just walk in kind of situation. He fidgeted on the front step, bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet as he nervously look around. Once the door flung open, the words just came out. “We need to talk. I- I know that sounds like I’m breaking up with you and I promise you I’m not. But, I- I need answers. You can’t keep on keeping me in the dark.”

He just- He needed to get away. He needed a break from the noise. The screaming of the crowds, the fear in people’s eyes when they caught a glimpse of him. The anger building up underneath the thin paper mask. He hadn’t what had happened to him. Hadn’t that he’d never be able to have a normal life because of it. Hated how people ran for him, reviled as a monster. He knew the paper bag didn’t help. He knew he looked scarier with his face concealed, but he couldn’t help it. He felt deformed and ugly. Crimes that the world showed little pity for. But, he could deal with the ridicule, the scorn, hate and cheer if it couldn’t get back to him. If people didn’t know who was under the mask then it wouldn’t reflect badly upon the police department. So when his shirt was off, the mask would stay on. If he couldn’t be the poster boy for the department, if how he looked would reflect badly on HGPD, then he wouldn’t let anyone know it’s him.

Ducking into the ferris wheel cart, Dor sat down closing his eyes and letting out a small sigh. He just wanted to feel like he wasn’t as much of a mess like he thought he was. Letting his eyes flicker open, he blinked past the paper, taking in the sunset off in the distance. The sun casted it’s golden rays down upon the clouds of billowing smoke,turning them bright red, fire red. It was beautiful, he could help but think, his lips bearing the semblance of a smile. He wished he could stay here for the rest of the Jam. He wished someone would someday look at him like he was looking at the sun. Wished he was someone who burned bright instead of someone who hide in the dark. Someone worth sticking around for. 

He was lost in thought when he felt someone slip into the seat beside him, looking over his eyes widened when they settled upon Lee. Fuck. The last thing he wanted was to be trapped on a ride with him of all people. Trapped with the ex who wanted nothing to do with him and trapped pretending like he was somewhat all right with it all. Jumping to his feet, Dor attempted to get off the ride but it was too late. The bar had already come down and they were starting to move now. Dor let out a sigh taking off his mask and placing it in his lap, suddenly all too aware of Lee’s presence and the fact that he was sitting there not only shirtless but also in a pair of swim trucks no less.

I'm really curious, what do you see in Lee? He has a bad attitude with literally everyone. I heard he made a puppy cry once.

Not to me. He’s the best man I know. He’s strong-willed, fierce, doesn’t judge me for the way I look, and would take a bullet for a stranger in a heartbeat. He works his ass off at his job day and night. And even though he’d like to pretend like he doesn’t care, he does. He’s a great cop and an even better boyfriend. Sure, he may be grumpy at times, but I wouldn’t have him any other way. I like that he’s not just nice to anyone. He’s honest and real and I had to work my ass off just to get him to notice me but it was worth it because he’s worth it. 

And he’d never hurt a puppy. He prefers dogs over almost anyone. Me most likely included in that.

trick or treat

Closed Starter for: @leemanfred

For once, Sam had decided to have fun during this town event. All right, so the decision hadn’t entirely been her own, but since her chief had told her that her working this event was unnecessary, she had decided to go full out. Well, as full out as Sam could go. Her costume was just a white t-shirt that said Error 404: Costume Not Found. But at least she kind of tried! And she was out and about in the crowd. That had to count for something.

Sam refused to think about what her family was probably doing this Halloween. Her mom rarely decorated--she said real life for their family was scary enough. But she and her brothers had always liked to play pranks. And their city had enough Halloween events to go to that they didn’t feel like they were missing out on anything. This year, well, Sam definitely felt like she was missing out on something. 

Strolling through the crowd with a beer in her hand, Samantha spotted one of the two people in town guaranteed to make her feel better. Or at least who could make her feel better about her misery. Making her way towards Lee, she grinned, and nudged him with her shoulder. 

“What are you going as this year, a sourpuss?”

past life - Sam and Lee

Fuck! The word roared through her brain as a face flashed in front of her. Her body reacted before her mind actually caught up and processed what it had seen. Sam was just lucky she had been coming round the corner and so could still duck back. Peeking back around, she wanted to see if the blast from the past was still there, or if she had overreacted to a doppleganger.  

Nope. Still him. Of all the rotten luck!

Sam leaned against the outer wall of the building, cursing inwardly. Her hands balled up in fists and she was shaking. if her heart still beat, it would be going a mile a minute right now. Hollow Grove had been her escape, her safe haven. She had been turned against her will and had run away here to figure out what it meant to be a vampire. And how to cope. Staying in Chicago had not been an option. She couldn’t place everyone she had ever known in that kind of danger. So Sam had run with no word, just a note. And she hadn’t been back.

She knew it was unfair to her family, but it was the only thing she could think to do. Her brothers and father were police officers, her mother a nurse. They had all seen it all. But no one had ever brought up anything supernatural. No one knew that monsters like Sam now was existed.

Looking around the corner again, Sam took in Lee. He had been her older brother, Jackson’s partner, and she had known him well...once. He was just another person she had had to leave behind in the wake of her being turned. “What the hell is he doing here?” Sam whispered to herself angrily. She knew her family was probably mad at her, and they had every right to be. She wanted so badly to hear how they were doing, but she also didn’t. And she definitely didn’t want them to know she was here. 

“Fuck.”
