nothing caused austin joy more than seeing their father lose his fucking mind. they were already pretty difficult to get along with, but an entirely different side of austin was brought out by the very existence of their father. they were just from two very different worlds. what ruined the celebration for them was, of course, that they needed him to hopefully get them out of this. it didn’t seem like he could do much right now, but they assumed that there was only so much the hemlock police could take of mr. braxton “ah, yeah, but it’s different with us. who’s he gonna show off at the old people parties this winter?” not austin. never them. but dick was a big loss, for sure. not many bragging rights when your kids were (they assumed) being investigated for a murder “didn’t you know? prison people are romantic as fuck, you might find your spouse. i had a girlfriend last year who was in prison for, like, embezzlement or something.” they could talk at just about anyone, but lot was a rare person for them. they enjoyed hearing what he had to say just as much as they like his attention. they would never say it, though. admitting to liking lot’s company ruined their whole love-hate thing. pride could be a bitch “i could ask her if she has any friends?”
a quick snort escaped at the point that austin made . it’s not like his dad needed him around to flaunt at holiday parties . hell , his dad had never even been invited to a holiday party , lot was sure of that . nobody really wanted the local DRUNK stumbling around , talking too loudly about his sons’ mediocre achievements at their public school . " oh right . the notorious rich people parties where boomers just brag about how well their kids did on finals at the private school & sip champagne more expensive than my own life , " he chuckled , truthfully having a hard time imagining austin fitting into those stereotypes at all . they just never really seemed like they enjoyed being a braxton & all the expectations that came with their last name . lot allowed himself only a moment to ponder on this before they started talking about their girlfriend who was in prison for embezzlement . " wait , wait , wait … you had a girlfriend who was in prison ? like , for real ? also , who said people in prison are romantic ? who did that study ? " the questions were flying from his lips quicker than austin could answer , but he didn’t really care . they had said some CRAZY shit in a matter of seconds , all of which deserved to be questioned . " please , don’t ask her about her friends . i - … i’m good , i think . for now . "

wolfgang often ate alone, not knowing enough people to have lunch with, nor the guts to sit with other people they didn’t know. thankfully, wolfgang knew how to pass the hours alone. usually it would involve music, the only thing they had any type of confidence in. as they sat alone in the expansive cafeteria, they hadn’t noticed anyone else entering the room, far too lost in the lines before him, lyrics, not his main talent. it did however take all their thought process, the attention needed to find the right words was always difficult for the soft person. but when lot spoke, wolfie jumped slightly, clutching the pencil tighter, shooting off over everything they had just written. their eyes grew wide, looking over at them, their own nerves now growing as did the other boys. “i mean- i didn’t,” he blinked rappidly, looking away closing the notebook in his hands quickly, nervous laughter now spilling out of the brunette. “i’m guessing we both were,” he gulped involuntarily, “you know, the interview thing. we both had to do that it seems,” he nodded, fingers tapping on the tabel, as they shifted to look at lot fully. “you didn’t say anything about me?” he took his lip between his teeth, worry filling his belly.
lot felt horrible as obviously nervous laughter began falling from wolfie’s lips . sometimes he wasn’t the only victim of his idiotic word vomit . he could FEEL the nervousness rolling off of them in waves . nonetheless , the other answered without putting up a fight or making a scene . " i … sorry . i shouldn’t have asked , " he murmured , sheepishly . but in order to make things feel a little more equal , lot shrugged & swallowed down his own nerves to answer . " yeah , the interrogation was rough . i … " he trailed off , taking just a moment to decide whether to divulge this information or not . " i cried , " he admitted , laughing at his own embarrassing situation . " i cried like a big baby in front of those two terrifying men . " more embarrassed laughter followed lot’s confession . but it eventually wore off as he allowed himself to answer wolfie’s question . " oh , no . i … don’t know if i even saw you at the party . so there wasn’t much of anything for me to spill about you . no matter how much i wanted to , " lot teased , the ghost of a smile on his face showing that there was no malicious intent with his words . " what about you ? you say anything about me ? "

it was truly a rare sight to see so early in the morning. having spent most of the previous night swiping her way through various apps and lining up a few lucky contenders for the moment they’re allowed to leave campus; her priorities were clearly set and sleep hadn’t exactly been top of the list. however, mother doesn’t wait for anyone and a previously scheduled seven am phone call is one she’d die from if her screen reported to her that the call was missed. so eden’s awake. cranky but awake— for the most part. sleep still threatened to lull her to bed so she turned to coffee to combat it. it almost takes her by surprise when lot’s hand extends up towards her with an offer of skittles. “ugh get that away from me.” the blonde huffs, smacking the tiny bag away. the sound of a few of the candies pattering the ground fills the silence that follows soon after until— “huh..that’s a sad fucking breakfast.”
for the most part , lot had grown to expect the worst out of people . yeah , it was a sad & pessimistic way to live . but it meant that he rarely got his hopes up or extended himself further than he should . but being caught eating skittles on the floor of the food hall this early in the morning was a vulnerable thing , causing the boy to ignorantly lean into a kind gesture . for some reason , the last thing he expected was for his breakfast to get knocked all over the GROUND by eden lennox fucking montegomery . lot clenched his jaw & gathered up the fallen skittles in his hand before hurling them directly at her . " maybe it fucking is ! so what ? we can’t all eat one boiled egg & a glass of water for breakfast , " he snapped , trying to ignore the tell - tale lump in his throat . his eyes remained fixed on the skittles that had pelted her , scowl settled perfectly on his features .

a select group of people being forcibly held while they all fawned over a majorly beloved figure wasn’t something unfamiliar to griffin. seriously, was history repeating itself? instead of an investigation they should’ve just called it a cult. she was surprised they all didn’t take some acid and hold hands around the lucrezia statue. but, it was an investigation after all, especially now that they thought melanie was dead. i mean, griffin basically figured she was dead and not just fucking around in hawaii or something. it was a cult based mindset of course, once someone was gone they were gone. six feet under or locked up joe goldberg style. but the posters were near bullshit, she’d helped examine far too many obituaries to make sure it wouldn’t link back to the cult in her younger days. griffin didn’t know what the fuck to think. still, it was whatever. griffin had sunk too far into her internal void to even want to analyze the logistics of melanie’s death or who was responsible.
if she stayed in that cursed apartment for another second she swore she’d go insane. it was just another reminder that melanie was their martyr and savior and that griffin was gay and michal knew and if the obituaries weren’t real — whatever. griffin could just go to lot’s. he’d seen her like this before: tangled hair and body so tense that you figured she froze on the cold rainy walk over.
“i hate this shit, seriously. like she mysteriously disappeared, she’s dead, blah blah. it’s not our fucking fault someone had it out for her. we should be home or at least not in this fucking hell scape,” griffin ranted, pausing to break a pencil between a clenched fist. crack. was she making sense? who knew. her blood was boiling to the point where if she had the sense, she swore it could have evaporated. the cadence of her words synced with the fast pacing of her feet, turning back and forth in the small open space of lot’s dorm. now back to the bullshit. “i’d just rot in some hotel between shifts, yeah, but still. and now she’s dead? boohoo. what’re you thinking? you buy into this shit?” crack. griffin’s arms crossed as she tossed another broken pencil into lot’s lap.
lot had seen griffin slip into her inner void more times than most had . he knew that this was just part of his friend & there wasn’t much to do about it than just sit back & stay out of the way . especially when the void was ANGRY . it always just made things better for the both of them . so , lot was settled on his bed in his dorm as griffin paced in front of him , snapping pencils left & right as she ranted . the boy knew that this is just one way that she blew off steam , but he also benefited from the anger management skill . he had a whole box full of her broken pencils , some with erasers on top , some with the lead still intact . those broken pieces typically took the role of his standard writing utensils . occasionally , lot would try to tape the eraser piece back to a writing piece , but mostly , he would just carry around two chunks of a working pencil & call it a day .
at this point in time , lot gripped a pencil being held together by pink duct tape & scribbled down some SHITTY lines of poetry about feeling isolated & exposed all at once as griffin rattled on . he had to do something to keep his mind & fingers busy . " yeah , i don’t know , griff . i agree . it seems kind of weird . i mean , who’s around to run the covington chronicles , anyway ? plus , last i checked , melanie wasn’t born in 1973 . but maybe she just had a dope skincare routine , " he shrugged , throwing out some theories of his own . it all did seem kind of fishy . lot glanced up from his journal , giving his friend a warm smile . " you know i wouldn’t let you ROT in a hotel room , though . especially not one of the shitty ones around here . i would let you rot in a hilton , maybe . perhaps that one in vegas . but never a hemlock hotel , " he teased , smirking faintly .

there had been more knocking on the door to michal’s apartment in the past twenty-four hours than there had been all semester. it was weird and foreign, and she didn’t know if she liked it or not. she put her episode of masterchef junior on pause, rolled out of bed, shrugged some pants on, and went to look out the peephole at who was outside. sure enough, it was lot, someone she hadn’t seen or heard from in a hot minute. missing person’s cases sure brought everyone out of the wood work. she opened the door with a friendly smile, leaning against the door frame. “hey, long time no see, come on in,” she said, ushering him into the living room. “ignore the mess, it’s been a weird transition with having only one, well technically two, but basically one, let’s call it one and half, people living here. how’s everything going?” she asked, finding a seat on the armchair in the corner.
lot offered up an awkward smile & an equally awkward wave as michal greeted him . he swiftly stepped into the WARMTH of the living room , already tucking his lower lip nervously between his teeth . " i’m really sorry to bother you . i’m sure you’re getting guests like crazy , " he muttered , hand reaching up to scratch at the back of his neck . lot settled on an available place on the couch , gaze shifting quickly between his clasped hands & michal in the armchair . " one & a half people , " he repeated , a short chuckle shaking his form . he knew what she meant , but just hearing it sounded funny . " i’m … i’m doing fine . i’m fine . but i … how are YOU doing ? i can’t imagine … " lot trailed off , glancing around the place hesitantly .

ever since the party, donatella had been walking aimlessly through covington - it wasn’t the fact that she missed melanie, things were just too tense. it seemed like everyone was just waiting for the second shoe to drop, for the inevitable bad news to become public. if there ever was a time in which the brunette walked around looking like a zombie, this was it. which was why, when someone stumbled into her, her first instincts were to apologize - she had no idea who had been the wrong one in the situation.
it didn’t take her long to realize that, even if she was the responsible for the close contact, she wouldn’t admit it. she’d never apologize to lot. donatella was the first one to admit she wasn’t the smartest person around, but a little bit of observation and logic told her exactly what had just happened. ❝ lancelot. i thought you were better at skating than that. ❞ her brow rose tauntingly. even though it had been two years since she had been on a skateboard, but she knew she still had the skills. ❝ i could do that move with my eyes closed and in heels. ❞ she called out as he made to leave, ignoring the mumbled words thrown at her.
the sound of his full first name falling from donatella’s lips caused a disgusted shiver to run up his spine . he already HATED hearing his full name , but that girl was nowhere near deserving to call him that . this caused lot to whip around , a scowl already on his pretty face . " don’t call me lancelot . that is reserved for valuable & deserving audiences only , " he snapped , not mentioning that no one is valuable enough or deserving enough to know him like that . maybe griffin , but she wouldn’t even want to call him that if he let her . " thanks for the little compliment , though . nice to know that you’ve been watching me skate , " lot retorted , allowing one of his eyes to drop into a wink despite the less than flirty look on his face . his grip tightened around the edge of his broken board , keeping his eyes fixed on donatella . " oh , please . skateboarding isn’t like riding a bike . just because you were able to coast around without falling a couple years ago does NOT mean you’re the next fuckin’ tony hawk , " the boy bickered , eyes still narrowed in her direction .

MAVERICK DOESN’T KNOW WHAT FEELS normal anymore. ‘ normal ’, in the sense of his old self, the one he had spent seventeen years trying to grow out of ? the one that gives, and gives, and gives, never to take ? or perhaps his newfound self, the one that was more self-assured. the one that now liked indulging in small arguments in class to stimulate his interest in the objectivity of beauty, or something or other—instead of fearing being labeled as the contentious PRICK. he knows that covington’s grounds feel anything but normal—empty sidewalks just aren’t as thrilling to skateboard on when there exist no obstacles to overcome. funny: with the amount of obstacles he’d faced in his childhood, he should have been glad to see empty roads. instead, the opposite: it exudes something eerie, a reality he would rather not face.
it’s the reason he never reads the ends of novels: picture-perfect endings are never realistic, and the few books that do get it right are in the minority ( or so he’s told ). fingers trace worn spines of covington’s bookshelves, searching for another adventure to dive into, one to help him escape this HELLISH reality. he had been early to meet lot, anyway—aimless wandering had led his feet to the library, figuring that finding something to read would be a better way to pass his time than staring at his ceiling. “ hey—i know i’m flaky, but invitations to the library these days are few and far between, ” he jokes; maverick actually does want to be here. if anything, the quiet of the library lays a safe blanket around him to those who wish to question him. “ you read anything good lately ? ” maverick asks as he takes a spot on the floor, reaching for the volumes closest to his hand. “ it’s a shame these guys don’t get as much love, ” he notes, referring to the books on the bottommost shelf. “ it’s not their fault they got the SHIT end of the dewey decimal system. ”
maverick & lot didn’t exactly have similar childhoods growing up . the raven - haired boy knew that much . in fact , the differences were practically night & day . however , maverick was strangely one of the few people on campus that lot could really level with on many things . not many people could probably guess that much , but lot believed that was how he & his friend liked to keep it . the second year delivered maverick a warm smile at the joke , flipping the book around in his palms . " you know me , mav . super BUSY guy . i’m having a really hard time fitting you into my intense schedule , " he teased back , knowing that couldn’t be further from the truth . yes , there was an investigation going on that took up much of his thoughts , but his interrogation had been over in forty minutes TOPS . past that , all lot had to do was roam campus , nap , play video games , and read , read , read . so , when maverick questioned him about his latest books , he was more than happy to list off his recent finds . " i … uh , yeah ! just finished watermelon sugar by richard brautigan . WEIRD shit , that one . been reading dickinson some more , " lot began to list off , chewing the inside of his cheek as he thought .
after a pause , he ultimately gave up on the list , deciding to unload a little instead . " god , i could go on forever . i’ve had nothing but time recently & books are the only thing keeping me sane , " lot griped , rolling his dark eyes . the boy knew he was not alone in this GNAWING restlessness in his bones . he couldn’t be . however , maverick’s comments distracted him momentarily . lot’s eyes softened at the bottom shelf of books , lowering himself to view them . " i … i’ve never thought of it like that . they probably do get so much less attention just because they’re not in plain sight . that’s kind of … " a pause for a bit of thought . " heartbreaking , honestly . "

it wasn’t news to anyone that austin lacked the ability to stay still for a moment. they’d wandered every inch of campus already, settling in for their third cup off coffee since the day began. it was counterproductive, pumping them with all this caffeine only for the energy to go to waste, but they were hoping for a big crash to come at some point in the day. can’t do anything else with your day, why not just sleep it away ? they were almost excited by the company, happy to have another body occupying the space with them despite the irritating personality that came with the body “jesus, don’t remind me, the dad thing was a nightmare.” a hand came up to rub at their temple, wipe the memory away “he’s busy throwing a tantrum right now. old man’s not used to not getting his way, poor thing. the one time my pops can’t get what he wants it’s when i can’t even enjoy it. universe has a funny way of working.” cup of coffee wordlessly slid over to their company, they continued with a snort “i should’ve thrown your ass under the bus. maybe you’d do well in prison, get yourself a nice husband.”
a rare , broad grin tore across lot’s face at the mention of mr . braxton’s temper tantrum . being rather close with both of the braxton boys meant that he had encountered their father a handful of times & the thought of him tearing the hemlock police department a new one brought the boy a lot of joy . " i can only imagine . i don’t think anyone’s parents were exceptionally happy that their kids are being kept from being home for the holidays to be investigated , " lot pointed out , the toothy grin still on his visage . such smiles were not a commonality for the boy , but being around austin had this effect on him . something about them was just so unique & talking to them felt like a breath of FRESH air . maybe that was cheesy , but lot didn’t care . it’s not like he would ever tell them that . his eyes glanced down as the coffee cup was silently pushed in his direction . lot knew not to fight it . there was no use fighting austin . so , he wrapped his fingers around the warm cup & brought it to his lips . he took a sip of the BITTER liquid before cocking an eyebrow . " oh , prison is where i need to be looking for true love ? i’ve had it wrong all this time . "

there weren’t many people rosemary felt like she couldn’t hold a conversation with . melanie always said one rosie’s best features was that she could make friends with anyone and everyone . melanie always joked that rosemary could make a new friend in three minutes flat . it wasn’t a lie but rosemary never admitted while melanie was with her , she wouldn’t admit it while melanie was gone . lot calling out to her took her by surprise . she turned back to see him , trying to offer him a soft smile ( she wasn’t doing much smiling at all lately . ) “ oh . “ rosemary didn’t care about star wars . she knew nothing about dark vader and all that light saver nonsense . “ maybe if you ask if a cop can escort you or something , they’ll let you . i think that’s the least they can do for us . “ sure , she was feeling lost without her best friend but everyone else and her deserved to have fun still . melanie wouldn’t want any of them to mope around . “ no , it’s okay , lot . are you doing okay ? “ even though she was hurting herself , rosemary still had to make sure everyone around her was alright .
there was nothing lot hated more than the anxious TUG in his chest following some dumb shit that he allowed to escape from his lips . it happened so frequently that he should be used to the feeling , but he’s not sure that day will ever come . the boy’s hand came up to scratch sheepishly at the back of his neck . " it’s … definitely not THAT important . it’s just a movie . i can like , watch it illegally on the library computers or something , " he muttered , gaze lowering to the pavement beneath their feet . lot fell silent for a moment , mind scattered as it usually was in front of rosemary . or anyone , for that matter . but the embarrassed burn in his cheeks seemed to GLOW stronger in front of her . the girl took him by surprise when she asked how he was doing . him , of all people ! " god , you are … more selfless than i could ever be , " lot scoffed , almost disbelieving that there was really a human being like this . " i’m holding together . what about you ? i mean , i know it’s tough on all of us , but you guys were … " he trailed off , eyes unable to meet hers still . however , as lot’s almond - shaped eyes AVOIDED rosemary’s , they connected with melanie’s . well , a picture of melanie’s . her unofficial obituary . " i hate those fucking posters , " he grumbled , mindlessly .

there weren’t many times where you could find lot kang settled on the ground with his back pressed to a candy machine at eight o’clock in the morning . but now was , in fact , one of those times . the boy had been CRAVING skittles all night long , but felt guilty calling someone to come open the cafeteria at 3 AM . so , he stayed up all night to wait for the moment the food hall opened just so he could get in contact with that snack machine . the candy reminded him of home - the rainbow colored candies being the one his father would pick up from him occasionally on the way home from work - and the boy just missed florida right about now . hell , lot MAY have even cried when the popped that first skittle into his mouth after busting into the food hall the moment it opened . but that rumor cannot be proven ! what he did not expect to see was someone entering the food hall at the same early hour as him . the boy didn’t even bother moving from where he sat . instead , he reached up , quickly wiped away what may or may not be tear stains , and put a scowl on his face . despite the grumpy look , lot still raised the baggie of candy towards the passerby . " skittles for breakfast ? very healthy , gives you tons of energy . doctors recommend it , " lot grumbled .

lot took every chance he could get to remove himself from the confines of his bedroom . he had too much energy to stay in one tiny place like that & the covington campus was starting to feel smaller & smaller every day . earlier that day , lot had caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror & decided that he was DONE having dark hair for the time being . he was sure he had an extra box of bleach laying around somewhere . so , he went deep diving through his closet , backpack , under his bed , etc . eventually , he was able to track down a single box of unused hair bleach . after deciding that the mirror in his room was too small to do his hair in , lot shoved the box into his backpack & took off to the BIGGEST mirror on campus . which is exactly how the boy came to be settled criss - cross applesauce in front of the mirror in the gym , sectioning off pieces of hair to be bleached . however , someone entering the gym caught lot’s attention . " oh hey . don’t mind me . my hair was just getting boring & my dorm’s mirror is tiny . i can turn down my music , if you want . you probably brought your own headphones . i can’t afford headphones . so , i just have to - " rambling , once again . " sorry . REALLY . i’ll keep quiet . "
