this is for the snakes and the people they bite, for the friends i've made, for the sleepless nights, for the warning signs i've completely ignored. there's an amount to take, reasons to take more. it's no big surprise you turned out this way, when they closed their eyes and prayed you would change, and they cut your hair and set you away. you stopped by my house the night you escaped. with tears in my eyes, i begged you to stay.
last ooc post in a row i SWEAR im sorry i suck omg. but i’ll be on in a few hours ( i work till 6:30 cst ! ) and i’ll do replies and post starters etc etc. lov u all miss u <3
raising her perfectly sculpted eyebrows, delilah let a FOND smile play at her features. if it were anybody else, she would’ve given them a hard time, but it was ( WARREN ), she could never tease him. “i think you both need a proper meal and somethin’ to drink.” she said, holding her arms out for the puppy. “come up to my place and i’ll keep her for the night. but i swear, if she pees on my new couch, i’ll kick ya both out.”
he nodded at her, eyes softening a bit as she suggests food and a drink. he knew the small puppy in his arms could use some food and water, and he wouldn’t turn it down. “ i can keep her for the night, i think . . . i need to take her to the vet tomorrow. she wouldn’t pee on your couch, though, i think she’s really too SCARED to pee at all. isn’t that sad ?? she’s calmed down now that i’ve been holding her to warm her up, but if i put her down i think she’ll just start shaking again. ”
“jesus fucking christ, mate.” max said, taking a few steps back as he scrunched his nose in disgust. him and warren had been friends forever, but the two couldn’t be any more different, that was for sure. “first of all, that damn thing probably has rabies. second of all, it fucking stinks from here and third of all, if you think i’m gonna allow you to bring it into my limo, you thought wrong, dude. go leave it on someone’s porch and then take a chemical shower.”
it took wren all but three seconds to pout when max started talking about the dog in his arms. he squinted his eyes and pursed his lips, cradling the fragile dog in his arms. “ i didn’t ask for her to go to your house or in your limo or whatever, max, i was just simply informing you that i can’t possibly leave her out on the streets. she doesn’t have rabies, either, or i’d have been bitten by now. ” that might be a lie, but he didn’t care. he huffed and shifted his weight to the other leg, voice raising in pitch when he starts again, “ i mean, christ, i’ll feed her and keep her tonight, but i’m gonna take her to the vet tomorrow. she’s just thin, not even real dirty. ”
“ i was swindled by the flashy advertising, i didn’t stand a chance. i might head to the hamptons soon - or anywhere soon, summer in manhattan is so stagnant. they have ??? i’ve been dealing with very different old rich dudes, then. snapchat is full of useful things. i learned that i’m a gryffindor, and learned how to french braid. maybe they have an article on how to scam people into bringing pizza to your apartment, i’ll have to browse. ”
" you might head to the hamptons ?? take me along in your backpack ?? i’m small and quiet enough i won’t be any trouble. i’ve got drinks and a place to stay there, so. and YES !! they have. don’t you remember when your parents warned you not to talk to strangers on the internet because they were really fifty year old men ?! maybe it wasn’t common but it wasn’t a lie. they’re out there and they’ve been out there, lip. maybe i’m one. maybe i conned you. ”
‘ sleep is for the weak, my dearest, and there have been far too many rooftop parties to miss over a pesky thing like a nap, ’ stella counters, mirroring his grin and nudging into the boy. ‘ speaking of, i propose we throw one of our own! ’
“ no, ” he insists, again shaking his head at her. “ nuh uh. if you’re throwing a party, i’m not gonna be a part of it. you look like you need to sleep for like, twenty hours at least. ” his face softens with concern then, and he frowns at her, “ really. won’t you please just take a rest night ?? it’s just one. and it’s not even an exciting day. promise you’re not missing anything. ”
“ –– and now here i am. it was long winded, i know, but i couldn’t just let the poor dog run around without a collar . . . plus, she looked like she was thirsty. ” he was cradling a small, skinny dog in his arms, his eyes locked on the person in front of him. he jutted his bottom lip out, moving the dog forward just a little, as if to show the person look at her, she’s so sweet, “ i know i can’t keep her, but i couldn’t just leave her out there. it was going to rain tonight. ”
“━ i was mindin’ my business on the snapchat explore page and i saw this article about rich guys getting vasectomies before they go to the hamptons for the summer. that way they don’t accidentally knock girls up who are trying to take their money and if ‘m being honest that’s most savage thing i’ve ever heard. careful guys, old rich dudes are the new joanne the scammer 2k17. ”
“ i don’t mean to prod... but why did you click on that article ?? are you planning on going to the hamptons or were you just internet window shopping ?? plus, old rich dudes have been joanne the scammer for a long time. they were just so quiet about it before you never knew. ”
‘ summer in manhattan is essentially the next level of HELL, ’ stella exhales her words, dragging a hand through unruly chestnut tousles. ‘ —- i propose we get drinks somewhere cool. and with dim enough lighting that you can’t notice the bags under my eyes. ’
he shakes his head at her, his lips tilted upward in a smile. “ stella, it is not that hot here. but i won’t tell you no on a drink. ” he leans into her and looks at her eyes, pursing his lips. “ have you been sleeping ?? you need some rest. should we go back to my place and order takeout so you can take a nap ?? ”
hello !! i’m katie and i’ve been trying to find a home for my baby warren (wren !!) and i think i’ve found it here !! i’m v excited for this, so under the cut is a little about wren and some wanted connections !!
*:･ﾟ✧ ( louis tomlinson & he/him/his. ) - have you met ( warren vanderbilt )? the ( twenty two ) year old that gossip girl usually calls the ( opulent ). i heard they’re usually ( superficial and reserved ), but after a few drinks, i guess they can be ( alluring and easy going ). they’re desperate that gossip girl doesn’t find out about ( his girlfriend is a coverup for his sexuality ), though that’s just the tip of the iceberg around here. ( katie, 20, cst, she/her/hers. )
( if you go thru the accepted tag and see his Big Secret, pls pretend like you didn’t.... i’m tired ok) THIS IS LONG BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO NOT TALK FOREVER SO..... hi
ANYWAY SO wren wren wren his full name is warren ezra vanderbilt and he is Smol but he won’t admit it and he won’t let any of u know ! except he doesn’t have to say anything. he just exists that way
he comes from a very very very wealthy background
his father owns an architecture business that started in london england, but they moved to brooklyn, new york when he was 6 (his mum was from london) and his dad’s business transferred with them so he has businesses across the US and back in london tht he oversees
warren works for him as a social media representative (i.e. he posts pictures of the houses and buildings and gets promotion and he does some of the marketing as well)
he has 2 siblings, one older than him and one younger (and i’d name them but i’m gonna submit a WC so,,,)
fun fact that everyone in his family knows about but no one says anything about: his youngest sisters is from his father’s affair
they got away with it by saying the family had to travel back to london for a year (i.e. wren & his older sister were forced to do online school while they hid away in london with his mum, dad, and dad’s mistress so they could pretend it was mum’s baby) they paid the woman a lot a lot a lot of money to keep her mouth shut and the family adopted the youngest sister and they just don’t speak to the other lady anymore
he is VERY very very closeted like, he has a fake girlfriend to try to convince his parents he’s not straight. they’ve questioned him before and threatened him with therapy (his dad, not so much his mum) so he just..... keeps it a secret
the girlfriend knows it’s a coverup (maybe he’s a coverup for her, too ??)
he’s had secret boyfriends of course and his closest friends know but he is very very afraid to tell ppl in fear of it getting back to his dad
he was obviously..... very well off ?? with his dad being a business man so he never missed out on extracurriculars or anything like he played football and piano and he is actually going to colelge (fully paid for) for public relations and a minor in music and literature
HE LIKES TO PARTY but on the downlow like won’t get smashed in public all the time but likes to go have fun and definitely gets high and wasted in his apartment
and.... he’s a sweet baby and he’s very very....... Smol.... Little Spoon..
BUT HE IS SUPER SUPER..... like he doesn’t talk abt himself unless you’re close with him bcuz he doesn’t want ppl to find out abt his sexuality bcuz the more ppl who know the better of a chance his dad will find out. so he’s v v v reserved and if ur really really close with him, then ur probably really really special too
HERE ARE SOME WANTED CONNECTIONS !!
F R I E N D S H I P ;
BEST FRIENDS –– obviously he can have more than one best friend so these are probably the people who know about his sexuality. they probably hang out all the time and they’re just like..... best friends you know how that goes he tells them everything and he’s been in NY for 16 years so.... lifelong friends can be a thing too delilah
HIS PERSON –– his Best Best Best friend. like they’re basically married and they love each other so much and they’ve been through it all together. they know everything about him and maybe even know that his sister is from an affair ?? like he trusts this person with his whole heart stella st. james

SECRET BOYFRIEND / CRUSH –– ee !! cute boys sneaking around kissing and doing nice things for each other and everyone just thinks they’re best friends but really they like 2 kiss each other’s faces. i don’t like to really plot out established relationships but like..... i would do it for this and we could always start at them being Fond and not being together that way 2 make sure there’s even Chemistry
COVERUP GIRLFRIEND –– OOO SURPRISE SHE’S GAY TOO !! maybe. that’s up to u or she just needs publicity from his rich ass family either way they’re prob friends and they’re not bitter or anything toward each other they really like each other as ppl but it sucks because they don’t really like the situation but at least they like the other person ??
