Episode 2 ~ Bound By Blood
We settled at the dinner table since it was really the first sitting place you run into in my house. “So what is this truth you wanted to tell me?”
It took some time for this Jameson character to establish himself in his seat. It was like he had to charge up or something or perhaps he was collecting the rhyming pairs in his mind? Any ways, once he decided to speak his words came out full of energy and purpose. “First, I should let you know that I’m a magician but one fueled by ambition and one who’s on an important mission!”
“Of course you are because its impossible for me to meet a regular normal person,” I say with a roll of my eyes.
"Regular? Normal? Such things are BORING! Why keep ignoring the unusual and wish for what gets you snoring?”
"Okay Dr. Leuss, this can only be amusing for so long. Why are you here?” I question because now that I know he’s another supernatural I lose interest and patience for him at once.
"Ah, yes, let’s not deviate?” He paused for a moment. “Let’s see here yes yes, this is about your fate!”
"Great. A fortune teller that raps. Go on then.”
He started in a very ominous voice. “Two paths emerge, choices to be made. Laverne’s Crossroads where fates are laid. One leads to shadows, the nights embrace. Where a sinful essence claims your mortal’s grace.”
"Okay....”
"The other through forests, beneath the moon’s allure. A beast’s spirit dances, wild and pure. This path holds secrets, secrets to unfold. A mystical realm, your story yet to be told.”
"Oh watcher-”
"Anyhow! I’ll be leaving now! Ciao!”

WE NEED SOME LYRA AND GRAY HCS 🙏
OKAYYYYY 🤭🤭🤭🙌
- grayson calls her “ms. kane” when he’s teasing her but usually just calls her “my love” or just “love” 🤭
- she’s the only one who can make him blush, and somehow managed to do it in front of his brothers. they all cheered and snapped a photo, but grayson went onto all of their phones and deleted it 💀
- whenever grayson plans a visit with gigi and sav they always make him bring lyra too because they “love her more than him” (in a joking way, but gray still told lyra and she found it funny)
- when grayson first met her parents, lyra forced him to wear a NORMAL outfit (normal pants and a nice shirt) and his brothers were all speechless when he left the house 😭😭
- whenever xander can’t get grayson to agree to something stupid, he always makes lyra ask (and he always say yes to her 🤭)
- he loves giving her nose kisses and she loves giving him forehead kisses
- before gray and lyra became a thing, gray used to wake up at around 5:30, but after they started dating and lyra started sleeping in his bed she made him get up at 7 instead because “nobody should be waking up at that time” (he’s lowk grateful for it though because he ends up feeling more energized when he does wake up)
- THIS ONES MORE A SPECIFIC SITUATION BUT STILL!!
- gray, lyra, avery, libby, max, xan, Jamie, and nash were all swimming in the pool to cool off on a hot day, when suddenly jameson pushes lyra into the pool (they’re besties so it was in a joking way 💀)
- gray gives him a look, and when lyra comes up for air and starts saying “ow, jameson you made me scrape my ankle really hard, I think it’s bleeding” the look turns into a lecture
- lyra puts a hand out for gray to hold and help her out, when suddenly her pained expression turns into a devilish grin. She tugs on his hand, and sends him flying into the pool. everybody starts laughing, when Xander’s eyes go wide and he starts telling lyra to swim to the little stairs thing that gets you out of the pool (help I forgot what it’s called 💀)
- lyra realizes at the same time what everyone else did, that she needed to swim away as fast as she could. why? because she, who is the most average and slow swimmer to ever walk this planet, just pushed a practically olympic swimmer into a pool. NOT a good idea. 💀
- she swims away, going underwater to help her move faster, when her legs suddenly get pulled from behind her. She gets spinned around and is suddenly face to face with grayson. he’s smiling, and has the same devilish expression that lyra wore earlier. taking her up with him for air, he puts an arm under her legs and one on her back and carries her out of the water baby style. xander grins and steps toward grayson, and suddenly he was carrying her ankles, and grayson was holding her arms. they threw her into the pool, and grayson teased her for the rest of the day for being a slow swimmer 🙄💗
- he’s very big on hand placement, so he always has a hand on her thigh or around her waist 🤭🙌
- lyra is a very light sleeper, meanwhile graysons a DEEP sleeper. because of this, lyra could bang pots and pans in the morning and still not wake him up, but if grayson tries to get her head off his chest with even the slightest movement in the morning she’ll immediately wake up 💀
- he’s obsessed with how she looks in dresses with the leg slit (😻) and always tells her how beautiful she looks wearing them
- grayson is in love with lyras voice, so whenever he’s having a panic attack she’s always there whispering sweet things in his ear, or even just stories that she grew up being read, and it always calms him down 😭💗💗
- acacia loves lyra and lyras mom (assuming she has a good relationship with her mom) loves grayson 🫶🫶
- grayson loves to braid lyras hair, so sometimes when she gets out of the shower and is about to go to bed he’ll braid it 💗💗
- grayson loves how she looks in dark red lipstick and can’t stop kissing her whenever she does wear it 🤭🤭
- and she loves how he looks in suits (although she’ll never admit it because she doesn’t want his ego to get somehow bigger 💀)
- grayson always has to lie about how much he spends on clothes/gifts for lyra cuz she’ll be mad if he spends too much 💀
- for example it’d go like this:
- “hey gray, how much did you spend on this necklace you got me?”
-“$60.”
-“are you sure? dont lie”
“……$600”
“are you serious?? that’s way too much to spend on a necklace!”
“okay, then you’re not gonna like the actual price..”
“why? what’s the actual price?”
“…”
“grayson…”
“just… just add one more zero…”
“$6000?????”
- because of that whole thing, she’s somehow convinced him to not spend too much money on her (he still does anyway 💀)
OKAY THATS ALL THANKS FOR THE REQUEST 🫶🫶

Episode 2 ~ Bound By Blood
I open the door expecting...well, not sure what I should expect, but what I do see is a rather plain looking man. Actually, plain is far too harsh, he is good looking but otherwise I guess he looks normal? “And you are?” I ask.
"I am the one and only Jameson Gray, so what do you say?” He says as if he’s announcing for some event.
It leaves me a little confused. “Ummmmm, what?”
"Can’t you tell by my tone that I’m the man from the other side of the phone?”
"Ahhhh, yes, you do sound familiar-”
"There we go! I knew you were a clever girl! How about we head inside as there is a secret truth about you I’d love to unfurl.”
"Aren’t you adorable?” I guess with every line he has to rhyme? No, I didn’t mean to rhyme that time...dammit! I invite him inside because I am intrigued, not like I could have stopped him any ways.
