Non-Discord Starter call

Hello! I'm Shelby and I play Cat, Tari, and Fletcher.

This is a starter call for anyone not on the discord. Like this post and I'll slide into your dms.

He couldn’t argue. There was nothing that even Hunter Hilton could say to make any of this better, and the worst part was, everything Liam said was true. They had all gone behind his back, aired their grievances and their issues with each other rather than going to him directly. Hunter just looked down at the ground, alternating between his feet and Liam’s. The barrage of scolding kept coming, pushing and pushing until Hunter finally looked up. “No!” He was shouting before he realised, “I have no idea what kind of message that sends because when have I ever given a fuck about anyone else that isn’t me? I don’t. Fucking newsflash but I’m Hunter fucking Hilton and if you aren’t me you aren’t important. Until you came the fuck along and I’m so out of my fucking element here.”

It didn’t stop there, each point Liam brought up something Hunter wanted to counter. “You are not the fucking problem Liam, you’ve never been the fucking problem. It’s me…it’s always me. I can’t just…” he slapped at his head, Flash turning back to his owner with a concerned look. “That’s not what’s happening. Fuck whatever Lenn is doing, I can’t speak on their behalf, but your feelings are the one fucking thing I have actually been considering.” He scoffed, and rolled his eyes. “I don’t want to date Lenn, I want to date you!” It felt weird to say out loud, but not wrong. Liam slammed into him, and attempt to leave, but this time all gentleness was forfeit, Hunter now grabbing his arm to stop him from walking off. “Don’t go…”

And he leant in for a kiss.

[violenttempest]

His free hand, the one not held in place by Hunter's grasp on his arm, reached up and grabbed hold of Hunters shirt. It wasn't to pull him closer. No. Instead he braced against Hunters movement towards him, keeping the other at bay. "How has any of this been about my feelings?" Liam asked through clenched teeth.

"You hurt me. You could have said no. You could have told me you didn't want to try, that you weren't willing to potentially hurt what I had with Lennon but you didn't. You didn't say anything. You made a choice and left me out of it. I thought I'd done something wrong. Then you swan about with that shit head like some kind of accessory like you're trying to flaunt that I fucked something up."

Liam could have stepped away if they had decided exploring their feelings was too much of a risk. He would have done that. Hunter muddied the waters. "You can't ignore me for as long as you have and then try to kiss me. You can't make these decisions about my life and go back to a place where you get to kiss me. This isn't like before. There is no experiment. You crossed over that line when you let me into your bedroom. I am not a book to be picked up when reality proves not interesting enough. You need to decide what you're doing because I refuse to wait around. Now if you don't mind, I have to find my boyfriend and ask him why he can't be honest with me about his feelings."

Violet watches Helena carefully as she speaks, her features contorting into a look of sympathy. "There's no right way to show you care." She insists, squeezing Helena's hand. "Just look at us. I know we're not fucking or anything like that and it's not exactly the same but I don't question that you care about me. I just know. I'm sure he will too."

[violenttempest]

She didn't know how to explain the difference. That there was something heated in the exchange between her and Etienne that terrified her. That it felt like weakness and vulnerability and opening ones self up to fatal blows. She didn't know how to explain that she didn't feel worthy of the attention. Like she was something damned and rotten that would burn simply at the touch of purest water. All wickedness and thorns with nothing good inside of the shell she held together by pure willpower and spite.

"Seems annoying persistence is a quality you both share." Helena mused quietly as she curled her fingers around Violet's hand.

"Why wouldn't you say that he cares?" Violet raises her brows in question. She watches Helena carefully and after a moment she reaches out to take one of Helena's hands. "You care about me. Can't be too much different."

[violenttempest]

Helena paused, contemplating the vulnerability she was risking showing to Violet before she continued. "Because if he cares then I have to admit this is something more than either of us intended it to be. I have to admit that there's... feelings i'm not use to. That i'm scared of feeling. I don't know how to be gentle. Loving. The way people are expected to be when someone wants to be with them. I wasn't raised in that or raised to expect it. The way he looks at me sometimes I still feel like I'll be punished for it. Like that monster that wears my fathers face each night will break through my window and choke the life out of me."

tiana was still looking over at lucas when he said that, chuckling a little at the question. “i don’t think you’d make it weird no. if we’re being truthful here i’d say you’re probably also my closest friend.”

[violenttempest]

The world was cruel and he often felt like he didn't deserve the little he had but it was nice to feel wanted in some way. He smiled at her, his hand reaching to rest on hers. "Sometimes I need to remind myself that I'm not alone."

[ghostsbrokenbyfairytales]

olivia nodded at the suggestion and looked up at fletcher after the kiss before leaning up to kiss his cheek. “that might be a good idea. i’m gonna go lay back down, will you at least join me to cuddle a little bit? pleeeaaaase.” she said batting her eyes at him.

[violenttempest]

"When have I ever been able to say no to you?" He murmured before giving her a kiss. "Just don't throw up on my bed sheets or you're cleanin' them." He teased with a smirk before he nudged her back to the bedroom giving her ass a light tap.

Beverly couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. The whole reason she planned the event in the first place was to help him. She felt awful. "Gosh, I'm so sorry, Lucas... I wanted to do so much better on the matches, but when Elijah got hurt, I--" She paused, sighing. "You deserve a whole lot better."

[violenttempest]

"It's not your fault. I know some people had a really good time. Plus it caused enough gossip to keep everyone distracted for weeks. I just have bad luck when it comes to relationships. Either I'm just some chump to take advantage of or too boring to bother with."

"Okay, I'm not trying to antagonise you," Waylon said genuinely, "we were bantering over some beers. I forget that even though you're grown up you're still so fucking sensitive. " He sighed again, that quick tongue of once again making comments he hadn't thought about properly. "Look, you wanted me to make an effort right? Try and ... adjust to this way of life and your new normal. This is me trying. If you don't want the Uncle Way stuff, fine, consider it never mentioned again, but I didn't come all the way across the fucking world to find you just to get shunned out day one for talking bollocks while drinking." He sighed again, extended a hand, and tipped his glasses down with the other so that pale eyes met his brother. "Forgiven this once?"

[violenttempest]

"Shut the fuck up. That wasn't banter. You said to my face you wanted me to be miserable. You said I was like our dad. It's not my job to take care of my kids, you said. You said they weren't mine. That I was nothing more than a legal guardian. The fuck do I know about a happy home, right? We are what we learn. You're going to stand there and say that was banter? That you were joking? That you didn't hone in on every insecurity I had so I would be just as miserable as you. I'm not fucking sensitive, Waylon. You were just being a shitty brother and I don't know why." He spat at him before stepping back and taking a shaky breath in and out.

"You want to try? That's fine but you don't get to pretend like you didn't hurt me. Like I'm over reacting. Would it kill you to actually apologise? See that maybe your behaviour wasn't acceptable and that if you want to be in my life, around my kids, you're going to have to grow the fuck up and take some responsibility for your behaviour."

Lucas ignored the outstretched hand for the moment. "I want to forgive you but I need to hear that you understand what you did."

[ghostsbrokenbyfairytales]

olivia nodded lightly to confirm and let fletcher touch her face, smiling a little at how concerned he'd gotten so quickly but mostly because it made her feel loved by him. "i feel fine in my head if that makes sense, i don't feel like it's a cold i just feel nauseous and tired." she admitted, leaning forward to rest her forehead on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his waist more. "tea does sound good though, can you add some honey to it?"

[violenttempest]

"Of course," he leaned his head down to kiss the top of her head. "If you're not well then you should go back to bed. Maybe you just need to sleep it off." He murmured. Any time anyone got sick it was a concern. Their limited resources could only do so much and if they had something that medication couldn't fix then there was nothing to do but wait.

You're just so pretty. Lennon signed it, grinning as he did so. He'd always thought Liam was beautiful, inside and out. How could he ever have resisted falling for the other? His best friend. His partner in crime. His partner. Realizing he was probably staring too long, he took the opportunity to roll his eyes at mention of one of the absurd fanfictions they'd read. "I wonder where fairy-me even planned to take you. Was I just going to keep you in some fairy cellar? Do you think fairies eat humans in that world?"

[violenttempest]

Liam started laughing at Lennon's questions, opting to sign because he couldn't stop laughing to speak. You thought you were going to keep me in a cellar and eat me? I'm not allowed to be the fairy prince's new consort? I'm just an appetiser?

[curreres]

violet raises her brows at the comment about not finishing, and she wants to ask questions but doesn't want to make her friend uncomfortable. she listens as helena explains, and then violet shrugs her shoulders. "i mean, is it a bad thing if you're comfortable with him? he clearly cares about you, right? so what's so bad about that?"

[violenttempest]

"I wouldn't say that he cares." She deflected but even so she looked down with a frown as she remembered that he had basically told her he wanted to ask her on a date. People who didn't care wouldn't do that. Helena played with a loose thread on her clothes as she avoiding looking at Violet. "If he did, it would be uncharted territory for me. I wouldn't know how to... do the caring thing."

[ghostsbrokenbyfairytales]

tiana sat in silence with a small smile on her face, something about being around lucas made her calm. she could tell something was off with him though but didn't want to push it, only pulling her attention away from the movie when he spoke. "of course, you know i'd hang out with you even if marvel films weren't involved." she turned her head to look at him, still smiling, "i enjoy your company lucas, honestly."

[violenttempest]

"Would I make it weird if I told you you're probably my closest friend?" He murmured through the quiet, the sound of the film the only thing filling the room between their words. He could relax around Tiana, he didn't have to think to much or too hard. She was genuine and he knew what to expect.

[ghostsbrokenbyfairytales]

tiana was already settled onto the couch while lucas set everything up, she wasn't a super tech savvy person so she was glad someone knew how to set this thing up. "that's fine with me, it's been a while since i've seen any of them so it's a good refresher."

[violenttempest]

Lucas sighed, settling against the couch. He was tired and hanging out with Tiana seemed to be the only reprieve he got these days. As the film started his attention wandered a little. He'd been so none stop recently there was a tiredness in his bones that always seemed to linger. "Thanks for hanging out with me." He murmured. "Even if it is just to watch Marvel films."

[ghostsbrokenbyfairytales]

"the bed was just too comfy." she chuckled as well, moving her arms to his neck as he turned to kiss her so she could kiss him back. she looked at the food and frowned slightly, usually she would love to eat it but right now she wasn't sure. "would you hate me if i said i wasn't that hungry? i feel bad that you already made the food but my stomach is kind of hurting right now."

[violenttempest]

"Your stomach hurts?" Fletcher frowned, gently putting his hand against her cheek then her forehead to check her temperature. "You don't feel warm." He murmured in concern. "Okay, don't worry about breakfast. I'll make you some tea, maybe that will calm your stomach a little?" He gave her cheek a stroke with his thumb.

[oxtofmydcpth]

He should have been offended by the comment, creepy uncle almost a worse title that abusive father to some. Great, now I'm worse than dad. But he laughed anyway. "I like this kid. He's got my sense of humour." That comment was sure to get under Lucas' skin.

The kids took off, and Waylon offered an overly friendly wave goodbye before stepping in to block Lucas' view of them as they headed home. "You never stopped to say hi at the speed dating. I was kinda upset y'know. I waved at you and everything mate."

[violenttempest]

"Why are you doing this?" Lucas asked, a tired expression on his face. "Antagonising me. Purposefully trying to get under my skin. I was so happy to see you again and then you stood there and shit all over my life like I don't already struggle with feeling worth any of it. Walking over here calling yourself their uncle knowing full well a couple months ago you said they weren't my kids and that I shouldn't care about them or care for them."
