Steve was fighting to reel himself back in, managing to muffle his sobs enough to hear Eddie's words. He was sure that it all seemed dramatic from the other's perspective. The pair hadn't really been close enough for him to still be grieving years later. Even Steve hardly understood why the feelings were so strong. Something something, queer awakening. Robin was better at explaining it anyway.

As Eddie explained what had happened, he slowly tilted his head, trying to process. Guilt wracked his body as he imagined how alone Eddie felt. How lost he must have been. "I tried to come back for you." he admitted, slightly interrupting. "The first time I couldn't lift you. The second time I came back you were gone." he murmured, starting to process now, why Eddie was gone.

"You don't have to apologize. I should apologize. Really, Eds." he murmured, chewing at his lower lip. He reached over, resting his hand on the other's forearm. "You don't look that dangerous to me. Skinny as ever." he joked, tears still freely rolling. "Why couldn't you come back? What happened?" he questioned, scooting slightly closer. "I mean Dustin was...Dustin is a wreck about you. You were a God to that little shit. And me? I mean you weren't even here to guide me through listening to Ozzy Osbourne." he forced himself to joke, trying to battle the uncomfortable-ness.

For a brief moment Eddie forgot that so much time had passed. He was thoroughly confused when Steve led him to a vehicle that wasn't his. Except wait, yes it was, duh. Such a simple change, just a different car, and yet it smacked Eddie across the face. How much had he missed? What else changed since his 'death'? He could only hope it was all superficial shit like this and nothing major.

Eddie joined Steve and sat there uncharacteristically still and silent, waiting for the other man to lead this conversation. He had no idea where to start or how much truth to share. Given the shit that Steve lived through, Eddie didn't worry about being believed, that was a given. He was worried about how the story would be received. If Steve looked at him like a monster? If disgust or fear showed on his face? Eddie knew he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Just when he opened his mouth to break the silence, Steve took him by surprise by crying. This wasn't a tear or two, he was really fucking emotional. Eddie's lips parted, his brow furrowed. And all he could do was watch in horror, unsure how he was supposed to help. Steve's words knock into the vampire, each one a critical hit that leave him woozy. "Um, I'm really sorry, Steve. I didn't mean to contribute to all this," he said, ringed fingers gesturing between them. He sighed heavily as he glanced down at his lap, unable to look at Steve any longer.

"The problem is I don't really know everything that happened. I remember fighting off those fucking bats. I remember how much it hurt when they bit me, chewed me. I remember Dustin's fucking face--" Too much, too painful. Reel it in, Munson, he told himself. "Then I died. Everything went black. No more feeling, nothing. Until I woke up. Fuck knows how long I was out for. Could have been hours, could have been weeks or months. No way to really tell. I just know I was still there, in that hellhole. I also knew that I was alone, you guys were nowhere to be found. I also figured out pretty quickly that I was different. Changed. Not, uhh, not exactly human anymore." His nerves made it hard to think clearly. Was he even explaining this properly? Probably not. "I wanted to come back to Wayne, to the fucking Scooby gang. It wasn't-- I wasn't-- safe. So I stayed away. Figured my shit out on my own and learned how to kinda exist again." Vague, he was being so fucking vague. Steve would have questions and they could build off those, right? "I'm really fucking sorry."

ben giggled at enzo's words. "aw, you can't control yourself while thinking about me? one picture starts to get your hard?" he tutted his tongue, closing the distance and pressing himself against the other. "it depends on what your idea of winning is. mine is getting fucked senseless....and i'm starting to think i have a chance." he smirked, reaching up to cup the other's jaw. "unless you want to keep arguing, i think it's a fun form of foreplay." ben practically purred, brushing his lips against enzo's, taunting him to make the first move.

"sorry the flowers weren't up to your standards, princess." the world rolled off enzo's tongue easily. he'd told himself he wouldn't bite, wouldn't give ben the satisfaction of seeing him take the bait. but fuck, this was fun. and that smirk ben was trying so hard to hide, it only made it worse. this was the kind of game enzo loved to play. "your body is perfect," enzo drawled,. "but sometimes i am surrounded by people while wearing clothes tighter than the pope's morals. i'd rather not give them a fucking show." enzo's tongue clicked against his teeth, slow and deliberate. and then, his gaze raked over ben as if he was peeling back every later of bullshit. "do you really think you'll win this?"

[charmlessmorning]

"Tomorrow night? I thought you'd be a little more forward and take me out tonight but......I'm free around seven tomorrow." she agrees, tilting her nose up. She pushed herself up from her seat, giving his shoulder a gentle nudge. "You are so cute, it makes me sick." she grinned.

ㅤㅤOoh, Zack was done for as soon as she laughed and reached out to pinch his cheek. Even more so after mentioning he'd have to impress her if he asked her out. If he had a tail, he's sure it'd be wagging as he nodded in acknowledgement.

ㅤㅤ"Yeah?" He asked with a dopey grin. "In that case, can I take you soon? Maybe... tomorrow night?" Zack questions with a hopeful gleam in his eyes.

"It's bad enough your boyfriend punched me in the eye, but now you're not responding to my texts? That's torture." Auggie sighed dramatically as he leaned against their front door. "You avoiding me?"

[charmlessmorning]

"start an argument?" ben asked as if he was offended. they both knew that he wasn't, because enzo was right. "yeah well they were shitty flowers." he continued to lie, unable to help the grin that was already starting to spread across his lips. usually he was better at holding out, but something about the other disarmed him. "the worst times? i don't think there's a bad time to get them. i mean my body is perfect." he hummed, leaning back against the counter as the other gripped at his shirt. "hm, i don't want you to show me." he said, tilting his head as he chewed at his lower lip. "i need you to, enzo. i mean if you wanna keep me around anyway."

"is this you looking to start an argument?" enzo’s voice how amusing he found all of this. he could've been annoyed, but he saw right through ben. "because if i remember correctly, i came here out of my own volition, flowers in hand." no one forced enzo to do shit he didn’t want to do. not his team, not his fans, and definitely not ben. he hoped ben knew that by now. "ah, yes." the smirk slipped out before he could stop it, curling at the edges of his mouth. "at the worst times, but yes." not that he was complaining. ben’s timing was shit, but his mouth? fucking perfect. "you know you do a great job destressing me," enzo murmured, closing the distance between them in three easy strides. his fingers found the hem of ben’s shirt, twisting the fabric absently. "i’m a dick and you’re needy," enzo finally declared. "if you want me to show you how much i'm into you, just say it."

ben found himself pouting in return. "i'm sorry," he even whined, clearly engaging in a competition to see who could be the whiniest, while also being completely infatuated. he stood down however, when chandler stepped forward. he hugged him tightly, pressing a series of small kisses to their shoulder. "a stain? where?" he grumbled, though it was obvious he wasn't planning to pull away. "you should just show up more, this is nice." he laughed softly.

chandler makes a point to keep pouting once they finally get to see ben in all his sleepy glory, not wanting to give him even the satisfaction of them finding it absolutely adorable...or the way their heart reacts in that weird way they're still not yet used to. "it's...well, it's late enough!" he almost stomps his foot in exasperation. "i sent like eight in a row! and they were some of my best work, too!" he grumbles, eyes glancing down to ben's open arms before finally leaning in and resting his forehead onto his shoulder. "....is that stain?"

[charmlessmorning]

He was surprised to hear her to agree to go to dinner. "Thank you." he hummed, before lifting the flowers higher for her. "Well you know, these actually made me realize I needed to apologize. It only seemed right for me to get them for you." Once upon a time he had been good at flirting but it had been years. This felt like something different, something other. "The dead ones last way longer, so...you know. Good to hang up. Anyway." he rubbed at the back of his neck. "Any requests for dinner?"

Joey crossed her arms and regarded him with a steely expression. The way he'd dismissed her previously had been humiliating and really put her in a tough spot. But he seemed pretty earnest, and it's not like she didn't understand why he shut her down in the first place. Auggie's story was a difficult one, which was why it was so important to her that it be handled with care. "Fine, we can do dinner. As we talk we'll see what you feel comfortable putting on the record and what I've got to omit. Are those for me?" Joey uncrossed her arms and gestured towards the flowers, amusement tugging a corner of her mouth up into a grin. "You didn't need to do all this, the apology would have been enough."

[charmlessmorning]

"Oh you do?" Taylor asked with a tilt of her head followed by a laugh. "Glad I was right." she said, reaching over to squeeze his cheek gently. "I'll think about letting you ask me out then. We'll have to see if you impress me." she offered a shrug and a laugh.

ㅤㅤ"Probably the best choice for ya, yeah." Zack adds, grinning after she nudges him playfully. After he hears her comment about being into pitiful men, he also laughs. ㅤㅤ"Luckily for you I happen to fit that criteria to a tee."

[charmlessmorning]

"Alright with it?" She asked with a soft laugh as she turned on the small coffee maker, shrugging off her slippers. "I'm feeling better than alright. I don't think I've been fucked like that...ever." she thought briefly before she stepped closer to him. "Don't tell me you're having second thoughts. No one saw us anyway, I think we got back here at like five this morning." she rambled softly, reaching out to gently rub at his side.

Still obviously taken by tiredness and surprise, Cassius had nothing to say when Taylor teased him about still being there. His student’s playfulness ironically sent a wave of reassurance through him, if only for a moment. She had no regrets, and that was a good thing, even as his thinking started flashing towards worries that he’d been seen cavorting with a student and possibly more. With such thoughts still dancing around Cassius’ mind, he turned his gaze to Taylor’s figure when she propped herself at the end of the bed. “Uh… yeah…” he finally said at her question. “Coffee would be great. I really need it right now.” Blinking to try and banish the lingering effects of sleep from his eyes, Cassius added, “I… you’re alright about what happened… last night… right?”

Taylor smiled and tilted her head at his response. "As if. I'm never going to be aggressive with you again. You'd be too into it." she teased right back, nudging her elbow against his side. "Sadly though I'm into absolutely pitiful men, so the attraction may be mutual."

ㅤㅤTilting his head back a little, Zack huffs, smiling at the other as if he didn't just admit one of his personal turn-ons. ㅤㅤ"What?" He asks with a laugh. "I'm just saying. Plus, I'm not going to complain if you wanna get aggressive with me. A woman after my own heart, I'd say." He adds just to be a bit cheeky.

ben rolled his head back and groaned at enzo's words. "yes you're here, but it felt like i had to drag you here." he groaned. honestly, he was enjoying watching the other grow more frustrated. "oh c'mon i text you constantly, or at the very least send nudes." he said, furrowing his brows as he stepped closer to enzo. "own up to it, you're being a dick." he said, crossing his arms over his chest. "listen, i get it your busy but shouldn't we you know...be working on de-stressing you? if you're not into me just say it."

on paper, ben and enzo probably seemed like an unlikely pair. polar opposites, except when it came to their stubbornness. still, they had a good run.thing was, enzo was too proud to admit he was capable of fucking up. he carried the same arrogance on and off the track, the kind of man that'd much rather crash than yield. "dropped?" he scoffed, not falling for the dramatics. "i'm here, aren't i?" he leaned back against the wall in a casual act of defiance, crossing his arms over his chest. "i told you i was training." his tone was dripping with irritation now. "you know how much time i have to spend in the gym. and the simulator! testing the fucking car. it's not like i'm out there ignoring you for fun." but ben was right, he was a shitty texter. "i don't recall ever giving you shit when you're busy."

[charmlessmorning]

Ben should have understood more than anyone how a crazy schedule could affect someone. Between filming and going to conventions, he was rarely left time for himself, let alone a partner. Yet, he was too dramatic and selfish to not take it personally when the distance grew. "I know what your schedule is like, but I didn't think that would mean I'd be dropped. I mean you barely even text back." he frowned, practically begging for attention.

"i thought we had discussed this already." his voice is tinged with a hint of exasperation, though he tries to keep it in check. it isn't their fault he is a busy man, not really, but he can't help but wish they’d be a little more understanding. "this is what i do. you knew who i was and what my schedule was like." his chosen lifestyle doesn't leave much room to compromise. enzo wants to be the best. the importance he gives to the grind and the hustle is what keeps him moving, even when those around him can't keep up.

"I thought I also taught you how unhelpful it is to try and use court logic in the real world." Mateo said, tilting his head as he met her eyes. "Anyway, I'm not asking you to get back with me, Priscilla. I'm not trying to plead innocent, I know it's useless...I just think we could maybe be...mutually beneficial for one another."

"I just can't tell if that's you telling me I'm being too kind or if I'm turning you on." Taylor replied with a tilt of her head and a little grin. "I knew you were a pervert, I can't say I'm surprised, Zack."
