Ted started walking with his messenger bag, putting up flyers for a dog he found. He’d been out for a run the night before when he came across a blue heeler. He was sweet enough that he followed him back to his practice. He bathed him since he was covered in mud, and gave him a meal to eat. In the morning he took a picture of him and created the flyers he was taping up around town. The dog seemed trained since he didn’t give him any trouble. Someone had to be missing him. The plan was to set up a good perimeter before heading back to work. When he reached the community center, he saw quite a few people go in and out of the building. Not focusing on them, he posted one last flyer on the light post. He heard a voice behind him so he turned around with a smile. “Oh, I’m sorry were you talking to me?”

send “❄️” for our muses to experience the first snowfall of the year together

He’d been away at a conference and came back just in time. There were rumors a snow storm was headed their way, and he had to start a bad weather protocol for his veterinary clinic. There were some long term residents in there, and if they couldn’t go out to buy more supplies, he’d have to stock up soon. But that was for later. Right now, he had someone to see. Taking a cab straight from the airport, he appeared on her doorstep, and smiled fondly at her after having knocked at the door. “Surprise. Got back early. They say there’s a storm coming in, but I say, what the heck. Let’s go to Hyde Park and indulge in some way too expensive hot chocolate and pastries before we get snowed in.” he chuckled.

“Elyse...a concussion isn’t something to downplay,” Ted remarked with concern--without meaning to, hovering over her. “What were you doing?” A frown started to develop as he looked her over. “If it’s severe, you should stay the night. Everything else can wait.”

Song chosen [x]

Ted and Elyse were walking along the boardwalk after having had dinner, when he heard the song playing. Queen had always been a favorite band of his. Especially since the lead singer had no qualms of being every outrageous bit of himself in front a crowd. While Ted had always been a positive person there was no doubt that he was bullied frequently when he was younger. Being different, or odd never affected him growing up. Just made him more loving and appreciative of the things he could control. He smiled to himself, halting their pace, and taking her hand. Without a word, but a playful smile on his lips, he swirled her, bringing her close. “Can I have this dance miss?”

Winter Holiday Symbols

Ginger bread pieces were cooling in the kitchen, before they could finish constructing the homes. Since the snow had started to slow, they’d gone out to look at what turned into a White Christmas. The street was quiet, and every breath brought a small puff of vapor. But Ted loved the change in pace. He was even starting to love Chicago all the more. He’d only been living in the city for a good 3 years, but ever since he’d started dating Elyse, he’d seen a different side of Chicago he’d been neglecting before. As they walked outside hand in hand, he walked over to a patch of what would have been grass (now completely covered in snow). 

“Wanna make snow angels?” he asked, letting go of his hand to take out his phone. “We can see who makes the best one, and whoever wins...maybe they get a five minute start on the ginger bread house, before we start the competition?” he asked with a pick up of energy at the last word. Obviously, win or lose they would still have a great time, but he found giving these activities an edge tended to make it more memorable.

“You’re not wrong.” Ted took the knitted blanket from the table he’d left it on, and sat next to Elyse. Placing the blanket over them both, one of the dogs he was fostering jumped up next to her and he laughed. “So, I believe it’s your turn to pick the movie we’re renting tonight.” He placed his arm around her shoulders and smiled at her, opening up the categories. “So, Pumpkin Spice Queen, what’ll be?”

AUTUMN PROMPTS 🍂

While Ted had participated in many holiday activities, one of the few he hadn’t was pumpkin carving. There was a possibility he didn’t notice how embarrassed he actually was about it, until they were preparing everything. In typical Ted manner, he was watching video tutorials trying to see if he could perfect it. He was identifying each tool along with the video before he looked up to see Aubrey was already hacking away a design. Feeling intimidated he looked over at Elyse. “She’s got a knack for this, huh?” he chuckled bashfully, before glancing back down at the video to see where he’d left off. As he picked up an instrument, he kept watching, but addressed Elyse. “I know I’m slowing you down, you can start without me. After all, it’s not a race. I’m already at a disadvantage with this one” he nudged over to Aubrey.

@chicagosfincst​  “Well, you look exhausted. Stay hydrated.” Elyse to Ted

☼ ∞ PALM SPRINGS SENTENCE STARTERS [PART 1] ∞☼

Ted had a strict healthy regime he stuck to on a daily basis. Any toxins he had would be sweated out when he’d go on a run after work. But a new restaurant had opened up and they decided to give a shot. Fast Forward three hours later, and Ted was not feeling well at all. He excused himself early, and had disappeared. His phone was left forgotten on the kitchen counter, and the bathroom had been his main residence for the night. Somehow he’d managed to make it to the sofa, and passed out. Elyse -- no surprise to him, figured something was wrong, and appeared the next morning. He groaned feeling weak, as she sat next to him. He sat upright, his hair disheveled and nodded to her words. “That’s the last time I try a medium rare steak. I knew it looked too bloody.”
