Bad influences | Open

Wendy had never been the type of child to get in trouble... at least not by herself. She was so loyal that she was constantly dragged into many problems for the sake of friendship and brotherhood. 

“May I help you with that?“ said Wendy politely to the person apparently struggling with what they were doing. Who could ever say if that’d be the start of a chaotic friendship or not?

Nightmares @@ open

Aurora: Dreams can be used as a gateway to deeper magic sometimes, maybe a part of you /did/ go flying every night. The important thing is you always came back.

Aurora: I'll be okay, thank you. Im just trying to reach my friend before I decide running into the street and grabbing onto the first person I see to determine whether they're real or not is a good idea

Aurora [unsent]: Why did I decide living alone was a good idea

Aurora: But are /you/ okay? If that all really was real, then I know some people got hurt. Are you injured?

Wendy: Wow I didn't know that...

Wendy: No, I'm completely fine. I just feel a bit baffled

Wendy: Exactly like that, indeed, as if this was all a dream?

Aurora: Im sorry, I think my message didn't send to the right person, which is... Not helping the 'loose grasp on reality' thing

Aurora: But you understand what that's like

Aurora: I was told it was real, are you alright?

Wendy: A few years ago I kept dreaming the same... And it felt so real

Wendy: I dreamed I left flying through my window, I even remember I came back to my room before dawn...

Wendy: are you alright??

Aurora: Tina? Are you there?

Aurora: Did you experience that bizzare reality/nightmare as well?

Aurora: Sometimes I can't tell if my nightmares are real or not and I cant tell what that was, pls, Im scared

Wendy: Hey

Wendy: I'm not Tina but... that has happened to me a few times as well!!!

Wow, did that–actually mean she had run away?

Maui had just been teasing but that was like–some serious shit, wasn’t it? If she had, that was. Did her family know where she was? Were they worried about her? Maui thought of Celia and his stomach twisted a little. He liked Wendy, he liked her quite a bit, but now, he was wondering if he was going to have to keep a proper eye on her. 

“Ah, I see,” he mused after a minute, keeping his playful smile up, though there was a flicker of something darker in his eyes. “How is that backpack trip treating you then? Any plans to head home soon? Or are you in it for the long haul?”

Wendy didn’t really noticed how concerned Maui was at this point, so she just kept going on. “Well it’s...“ how to describe it?, she made a pause. “...such an adventure“ Wendy said with a smile in her face since that didn’t bother her, she lived day by day and to be honest she didn’t have much of a plan yet, except for one... but she wasn’t ready to tell Maui yet. He was a good guy. 

“I don’t know.” she confessed “I don’t want to go home, I just left, you know? But I don’t want to say I will never come back either.“

“But... let’s just enjoy the moment, yes? Are you hungry?“

Maui didn’t know what having overprotective parents were like. His own had pretty much left him alone since he was old enough to fend for himself. Of course, his mother fretted and fussed over him, but he didn’t have a curfew or anything like that. His parents expected him to be home for dinner, and otherwise, in the shuffle of four brothers he just–

Got lost.

Maybe overprotective could’ve been nice.

“So, you–bein’ here all on your own? Is that you sneaking out?” he asked, raising an eyebrow playfully, but a small part of him was–concerned. Were her parents looking for her? Did she have someone to stay with?

Wendy wasn’t very used to people (besides her parents of course) worrying about her, she was usually the one looking after her friends and her brothers, so, it was an unfamiliar feeling.

“Nah. Let’s say I’m just having an extended backpacking trip“ she smiled. She didn’t want to start feeling guilty for leaving home the way she did, because she knew perfectly the reasons why left in the first place.

“It was already planned”

Maui laughed delightedly at her anecdote about her dog. He had always wanted one. What boy didn’t want a dog? You grow up watching movies like My Dog Skip and Home Alone, and it was all you could think about. 

(Also–don’t think he had missed the whole sneaking out bit.)

“Ah, nah. We never had–” the money “–space for one, really. I’ve got four older brothers, and I think it would’ve driven my mom crazy. But, these are a good substitute for sure.”

A beat.

“So, sneakin’ out?” he asked, raising his eyebrows. “Didn’t take you for a girl who liked to sneak out.”

Wendy was listening to his reasons, a bit sad, she personally couldn’t imagine life without a dog, but 4 brothers!? 

Wendy remembered that time her cousins Jane and Danny stayed for a whole week in her house because their parents went on a second honey moon and well... it was like having 4 siblings. It wasn’t that easy for anybody so...

“Everyone says the same“ she stated, with a hint of mischief in her eyes. “It’s not that I liked it but, my parents were too... over protective.“ Wendy shrugged.

Maui leaned up and put his hands on his hips as he watched her bend down, stroking all of the dogs as they tripped over each other to garner her affection. He laughed brightly. It was cute, really, as she laughed and looked so delighted as she greeted each of them, one at a time.

“You’re welcome!” he told her back, giving her a big grin when she turned her own smile to him.

It made his chest warm. This was a such a simple thing, but he could tell he’d made her whole day. Which was something he was learning as Maui–it was really easy to make someone’s day. And–he really liked doing it.

“You have any pets back home, then?” he asked after another few moments, reaching down again to pat one of the dogs solidly on its side.

“Of course, we have a big old Saint Bernard” Wendy answered, still petting some dogs that kept on licking her hands “Her name is Nana and... she just takes everything too serious. I got busted a couple times while sneaking out at night because of her...“ As she finally leaned up again, shaking the dust off her hands, she couldn’t help laughing at the memories “...but she thought it was her job all along” 

”What about you? You have any pets or you just come here and make all this guys your temporary pets?”

Maui could tell that he’d made her a bit uncomfortable. He’d always hated the idea of parents controlling your life, though. His own father had pulled him out of school as soon as it was legal to help him out on the fishing boats, and Maui had loathed it. Of course, he’d done it, because he understood the duty to family, despite himself. 

And, he really hadn’t meant to make her uncomfortable.

Good thing they were almost there.

He saw Brad at the gate, giving them a wave as they approached. Maui waved back to his friend (they had met at the gym a few months back.) Brad opened the gate and instructed them towards a paddock of about ten dogs, and then, left them to it. 

Maui grinned and looked over at Wendy.

“Well, have at it!” he gestured, before leaning down to pet two dogs at once himself, smiling as one jumped up to lick at his cheek.

The next few minutes were kinda uncomfortable, she couldn’t deny it, but it wasn’t Maui’s fault however, in fact, she hadn’t realized how much she hated thinking about the future until now, it was sort of a burden. 

Quietly, she waved at the gatekeeper as well, just for the politeness. She listened to every instruction even tho, she trusted Maui would lead her around the place without any problem and then, the moment she saw the dogs, whimping, tails wagging, standing in their hind legs... all the awkwardness and heavy thoughts went away, soon she was leaning down too petting as much dogs as her hands allowed, saying hi softly to every single one of them. 

“Maui this place is awesome!“

Sergio’s eyes lit up when he saw what the customer was beelining towards. He laughed and followed her over to the rug. “It is certainly one worth camping out for but I wouldn’t make you do that,” he said lightly, crouching down beside her.

He tapped a finger against the intricate stitching around the border of the rug as he spoke. “This rug was hand woven by an amazing woman in India. Esme, I believe she said her name was. Very sweet lady. Incredibly talented. She had hundreds of rugs, I spent at least an hour going through. I would’ve bought the lot of them if I’d been able to.” Unfortunately, that trip he’d been a bit strapped for cash, and was having trouble finding a local job, but he hadn’t been able to resist buying at least one of the beautiful rugs.

“I’m very glad to see that someone else appreciates the beauty of it as much as I do.” Sergio actually had to flip over the corner of the rug to see what Tina had priced it at. She was better with numbers and organization, so she usually handled that part of the shop. “Ah, let’s see. Thirty pounds, for the rug.”

Wendy turned her head to the other as he spoke. Her eyes gleamed in awe, she really loved listening stories of adventures “You mean you brought this rug, yourself, from India??”

Of course Wendy noticed a certain beauty in it, but it didn’t go further than a piece of decoration. She didn’t have the slightest idea it came from the India! And then she wondered if this man had brought every single item in the shop from somewhere around the globe. If it was so, she swore she could stay and listen to every story.

Maui looked around dramatically at her words–behind her, in front of her, to both sides. Over-exaggerating his movements for a few seconds, his hands going to her shoulders like he was peeking over her.

“Is your–I’m sorry, but–is your dad anywhere around here?” he asked cheekily, dropping his hands to his sides and strolling forwards again.

He had no idea what Wendy’s relationship with her dad was, but, his own relationship with his father had never been good. If he wouldn’t have won the Maui competition, well, he certainly wouldn’t have stuck around long. He had never really cared what his dad thought.

(This was a lie, it mattered a great deal to him.)

“You should be able to do whatever the fuck you want!” he exclaimed. “You’re a grown ass woman. Er, no offense?”

Wendy laughed at how Maui was always so theatrical. She only shook her head. 

Wendy was actually obedient, (well, somehow, she was) let’s say she didn’t have problems with authority as long as it didn’t intrude her right to make decisions, which was something her parents had been doing all along. She didn’t want her father deciding what she should become but she didn’t want him out of her life either. Her family was way too important for her, despite anything.

A grown ass woman?— Ouch. 

“No offense“ She didn’t feel offended, Wendy smiled, trying to hide how scared she was of the single idea. Life was easy this way. She didn’t want a job or taxes or having to pay rent, at least, not now. She wasn’t ready.
