Warnings: fluffy, meeting for the first time, making plans for a date, GN reader, storms, too long, not proofread

Maybe renting a cabin in-almost- the middle of nowhere wasn’t there best idea. It had been storming for the past four hours, making it impossible to take advantage of the beautiful world outside. You should’ve brought your rain boots.

You were pacing back and forth across the hardwood when your light flickered twice before going out completely.

“No!” You growled. You flickered the switch on and off as if that would do anything. “Fuck.” With a huff you tugged on your coat and slipped into your shoes, using your phone light to guide you. You went around the back of the house fiddling with the power box. “I better not get electrocuted.”

The thought of that alone was enough to make you close the power box. You turned on your heels making your way to the other rental house down the road.

“Hi Mrs. Collier, is your power on?” You smiled at the older woman as she opened the door.

“What’d your roof cave in?” She questioned, taking in your soak appearance. She moved out of the doorway, silently welcoming you inside.

“It’s been on and off for the past hour.” She sighed pouring you a hot drink. “I’ve got spare clothes in the hall closet- don’t want you to get my carpet moldy.” She shooed you off.

“Thank you Mrs. Collier!” You did as she had told and found a nice oversized shirt and sleep shorts.

“So what do we do? Just wait it out?” You questioned sitting at the counter. She pushed the hot drink towards you, then added another candle to the fifty she had on the counter.

“I do what everyone does when something goes wrong. Call John.”

“Who’s John?” You asked. She looked at you with furrowed brows.

“You’ve been living here for how long and you haven’t met John yet?”

You took a sip of your drink and shook your head.

“Well I guess that makes sense.” She sighed. “He’s in the military- high up I think and he does those special agent type things, Y’know like the things you see on TV- anyways he’s gone a lot, never too long but you can always tell when he is.”

“How so?” You pressed.

“The town falls apart, physically. I almost feel bad for the man, never seems to have time to relax.” Mrs. Collier continued. “Someone’s water heater is always going out, or there’s a storm and one time the Hathaway’s fence completely collapsed- sheep got out all over town. It was quite the sight.” She smiled to herself and you wondered for a minute if she remembered you were there. She shook her head breaking herself out of her trance. “Drink up honey, don’t need you gettin’ everyone sick.” She gave a gentle smile.

Suddenly the lights flicked on. You closed your eyes quickly not ready for the burst of light.

“You alright in there.” A gruff voice called from outside. There was a knock at the front door, before the person outside let themselves in.

“Thanks, John. What do I owe you?” Ms. Collier asked, sliding off the stool.

“I’ll take a muffin if you have any.” The owner of the voice suddenly appeared in the kitchen doorway. He paused for a moment when he saw you. His face softened and he offered you a polite smile. You were too flushed about his your appearance to return it. “I don’t think we’ve met. John Price. I live about a mile up the road.” (I know he’s British) He extended his hand towards you, not before wiping it on his pants. He wore a black rain coat, with his hood pulled up over a black beanie. The beanie was far too low for your liking, nearly covering his vibrant eyes. As if he read your mind he tugged it up slightly.

“Y/N, L/N.” You shook his hand, pulling away quicker than you probably should. “You said you lived up the road? That pretty cream colored house?” You asked. He chuckled at you. It was warm and inviting.

“Never been one to think my house was pretty, but yes that’d be the one.”

“Order up.” Ms. Collier handed John a large ziplock filled with muffins.

“Thank you, Doll.” John smiled. Ms. Collier let out a giggle swatting at him and you couldn’t help the smile that grew on your own face at the interaction. “Where you staying? Need a ride back?” John turned towards you.

“Y/N’s power is out too.” Ms. Collier spoke for you, smirking at your flushed appearance. “They’re staying one house over.” Ms. Collier pointed towards the direction you came from.

“Let’s get you settled then.” John said, nodding his head towards the door.

“Are you sure?” You asked hesitantly. John nodded his head in assurance and you wondered what it was like to be someone with such a comforting aura. “Thank you.” You stood up, grabbing your wet clothes from the laundry room. “Thank you Ms. Collier.”

“Anytime, Honey.”

You started out the door but John pulled you back.

“Umbrella?” He raised a brow at you. You shook your head. He quickly unzipped his jacket, sticking his hand in his pocket and holding half of his jacket above your head. You instinctively shuffled closer. He was warm and smelled like pine- and a little something else that you couldn’t quite put your finger on but it was smoky. You both began your track to your house, breathing a sigh of relief when you entered almost completely dry.

“Where’s your power box?”

“On the side of the house.” He nodded his head starting towards it. You began digging around your house for some sort of payment for him. He already had some baked goods and who knows what else he earned on his travels. The lights flickered on in no more than five minutes. Heavy footsteps thudded against your porch and John stopped in the doorway, not wanting to wet your entire house.

“Thank you so much!” You praised. “Now I unfortunately don’t really have any food, well anything substantial at least, but I have some cash.”

“Don’t know if you should be telling strangers you have cash in your home, love.” He scolded, shaking off his coat on the porch. You gave him a sheepish smile, to hung up on the endearment to fully take in his words.

“Yeah.” You sighed, still waiting for an answer from him. “So how much?”

“Dinner with me?” He said suddenly. You began to head over to your bag but stopped.

“I’m sorry, what?” You could hardly believe he wanted anything to do with you. Your hair was plastered to your face and you were wearing the worst clothes the 80’s had to offer. “Are you sure?”

He furrowed his brows at you. “Am I sure?” He repeated..“Something wrong with you?” He hummed. You nodded your head, but quickly shook it.

“No. I mean nothings wrong with me. Well that’s not true there’s probably a lot of things- somethings that I’m probably not even aware of. I’m sorry I shouldn’t say there are a lot of things wrong with me but”-

“Breathe, Sweetheart.” He interjected. “I’ll take dinner or you can just call this one free as a ‘welcome to town’ favor.”

“I like dinner.” The words came from your lips before he had even finished his sentence. He chuckled at you again.

“Good, I’ll pick you up tomorrow. 7:30 sharp.” He began making his way down your porch steps, back to his truck.

“Okay!” You shouted after him. “Thank you.” You knew he couldn’t hear you, so you decided it was a thank you meant for the storm.

Called Home to the Depths of the Forest Ch. 11

Ch 1 Ch 10

If he expected to take advantage of their time alone in the ride back to the cabin, Simon would have been wrong. Instead of continuing their conversation from earlier, they wordlessly elected to let the car fill with whatever radio station Johnny had settled on. He wasn’t familiar with the music, but Johnny seemed to be, mouthing along to the lyrics as he stared out the passenger side window.

Soon enough the buildings grew sparser, and the road transitioned from paved asphalt to gravel to well-packed earth. The town became farmland became forest, with the light of the moon guiding them on their way home.

He felt like the drive had passed in an instant. Moving exclusively through muscle memory, Simon parked and pulled the keys from the ignition, but before he could open his door, a warm touch pulled his attention to Johnny.

The man looked unsure, chewing on his lip and staring at the pristine-looking rental car already parked out front. He didn’t remove his hand from where it lay on Simon’s wrist, thumb idly passing back and forth over his pulse.

“Kate knows, doesn’t she?” he asked, betraying his uncertainty.

“Know what?” Simon had gotten lost in the labyrinth of his own thoughts, so he was having a harder time than usual following Johnny.

“About us? Me and Price and Gaz and the pups…”

“That you’re not exactly human?” he supplied, turning to give Johnny his full attention.

He nodded before finally making eye-contact. His eyes were the vivid blue that signaled his shift was just beneath the surface.

“Aye…” He was silent for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “And you trust her?”

Gently, he broke Johnny’s hold on his wrist. Instead, he tangled their fingers together.

“With my life. Kate is one of the only people to have ever stood by me, especially right after— after my family’s deaths.” He stumbled over his words, but he pressed on. “She’s only ever done right by me, even when they were calling for my head.”

Raising their fists to his mouth, Johnny pressed a hard kiss to Simon’s knuckles.

“Then I trust her.”

His eyes had faded to their usual shade of blue by the time he was finished speaking, but they fell to Simon’s lips. Positioned as they were, leaning toward each other across the center console, it would be so easy to kiss him, he thought.

Despite their mirrored confessions while they were jailed together, they hadn’t actually clarified what their relationship would be moving forward. And even though he wanted so desperately to kiss Johnny again, Simon wasn’t sure he was prepared to open himself up to that kind of vulnerability again. At least not yet.

Reluctantly, he cleared his throat and dropped Johnny’s hand.

“They’re probably wondering what’s taking us so long…” he murmured.

Before he could get too far, though, Johnny reached out again, cupping his face with one hand and turning him back to face him again.

“I love you, Simon Riley. And whatever it takes, I’m gonna win you back,” he promised. “You’re gonna trust me again, I swear it.”

With an unexpected surge of courage, Simon leaned forward and kissed Johnny’s cheek.

“I’m counting on it.”

And if he smiled to himself as he exited the car at the stunned look on his face, it was no one’s business but his own.

It was late when they got back. Late enough that Simon wasn’t surprised that Duncan and Ailsa did not greet him when he opened his front door.

Instead, Kate sat at the table with Price while Gaz leaned against one of the kitchen counters.

“I see you’ve helped yourself,” Simon noted as he took in the tumblers that sat in front of Price and Laswell, filled with what he knew to be his favorite bourbon.

“I was invited,” Kate said simply, nonchalantly taking a sip of hers. “Don’t know if these two can say the same.”

“We’re pack. We get privileges,” Price shrugged, adding “The pups are down for the night in the bedroom.”

Simon nodded, ducking down the hall to peek into the bedroom just to lay eyes on the little lumps under the covers in his bed. Smiling softly to himself, he emerged back into the kitchen.

He shrugged off his coat and quickly poured his own drink as the door opened once again to reveal Johnny with cheeks that were perhaps pink from more than just the chill in the air. Simon held out the drink he had just prepared to Johnny as he joined them in the kitchen, grunting at Johnny’s nod of thanks before fixing himself another.

“If you’re pack because you came with Johnny, Kate is pack because she came with me,” he tossed out, ignoring the raised eyebrows shot his way. Was it really so surprising he had friends other than them?

Gaz was the first to chuckle. “How do you two know each other exactly?”

“She raised me from the dead,” he deadpanned.

Kate rolled her eyes fondly. “We worked together. He was in a different unit. Your Taskforce was exclusively supernatural. Ghost was probably the only human I’d even consider adding to your crew. Luckily you all retired and I didn’t have to.”

“Wait, how did you know that? That’s supposed to be classified,” Johnny asked, clearly lost.

“John, she’s Watcher,” Price explained. “Did you not know who she was this whole time?”

“What?”

Simon and Kate shared secret smiles between them.

“Yeah, mate, how did you not recognize the voice at the very least? We worked together for years,” Gaz said, clearly overjoyed at finding something new to tease him about.

“How was I supposed to know? We only ever called her Watcher, and we never met in person!”

“You never met her in person,” Price corrected.

Before the conversation could devolve into further bickering, Kate spoke up.

“We need to discuss what’s been happening.”

The room fell silent, everyone automatically deferring to Kate.

“Simon called me awhile ago to organize some paperwork for Duncan and Ailsa. I take it that this D.C. Collins is the reason why?”

“Yes,” he affirmed. “For some reason, when we met in town, he became fixated on Johnny and Ailsa in particular.”

“Aye, the bastard seems to have picked up that something isn’t normal with us,” Johnny grouched, shooting back the last of his bourbon.

“Well I was able to look into him a bit,” she explained, pulling a file out of the bag at her feet. Flipping it open, she turned it around so that the rest of them could scan it as she spoke. “Matthew Collins, Detective Constable. He’s with the police where he and his brother, Harry Collins, are from.” She pulled out another folder, this one much thicker, and flipped it open alongside the other.

“It looks like Harry has gotten himself into trouble over the years. Drunken disorderly, breaking and entering, poaching, among other things. It took some digging, but I was able to learn that Harry fancied himself a monster hunter.”

She flipped to a few photos where the man was posed with some others around the body of a suspiciously large bear. Simon recognized the other two from the night he killed them.

“There’s no hard evidence of this, of course, because ‘officially’ supernatural creatures don’t exist. He and his cohort seem to have been better about not documenting the more outlandish creatures that couldn’t be explained away. Luckily, they weren’t particularly successful. I was able to find only about five victims in the last decade, including Duncan and Ailsa’s parents. There might be more, but I doubt it with the way these men operated. The Collins’ father seems to have been much more active in his time, but he was killed when the boys were about twelve and fifteen respectively. I suspect that’s where this all started, with their father’s death.”

“So they decided to take up the mantle,” Price growled.

“So that’s the dead brother,” Gaz said. “What about the one that’s after us now?”

Kate smiled thinly. “Matthew. While his brother became a murderer, he chose to pursue a career in law enforcement. His numbers are pretty average, but it looks like he was able to get big brother Harry out of trouble a few times. He’s been investigating this on his own. Officially, he’s not even on the case. I was able to speak with his higher ups and have him reprimanded and pulled from the case. They’re not happy with the mess he’s made of things out here.”

She pulled out yet another file, this one incredibly thin.

“This is Harry’s missing persons file.” Flipping it open for them, she placed it on top of the other two. “Officially, this case is impossible to close. No body, no evidence aside from some eyewitness testimony from earlier in the week, and the last known location that pinged off his cell that’s a handful of kilometers from here. He’s running this show on nothing but his gut. I was able to get all the charges thrown out, but Simon,” she paused, looking him dead in the face. “You did not need to get arrested too. I had to promise to replace the receptionist’s paperweight. She didn’t let up until I told her it was all in the name of love.”

He ignored the knowing look in her eyes when he grumbled, “You told me to get in to see him…”

“In what world does that mean get arrested?” Kate asked incredulously. “That’s how I knew it was real. When Simon Riley is making foolish decisions over a man.”

“Kate,” Price murmured, trying and failing to subtly gesture for her to stop.

“Oh, are you…?” She looked from Price back to Simon and Johnny who were standing stiffly beside each other. “I didn’t realize you were pretending not to be in love.”

“No, uh, it’s just complicated at the moment,” Johnny tried to rescue him, his face progressively getting redder and redder.

Laswell looked between them again before rolling her eyes. She took another swallow of her drink before muttering something that sounded suspiciously like “Men” under her breath.

“Regardless, I am hoping that getting Collins pulled from the case by his bosses is enough to get him to back off, but with how persistent he’s been, I doubt it. I recommend continued caution until I can confirm he’s gone home and will stay there.”

They all shared a look, wordlessly agreeing about the likelihood of that happening (next to none).

“On that note, I am turning in for the night,�� she declared, drinking the last bit at the bottom of her glass. “Whoever is coming back to the Price-Garrick abode, you can join me in the car or make your own way.”

“Ruthless,” Price teased as he and Gaz went to grab their coats.

As she cleaned up her folders, Simon went to help her, and Johnny began gathering glasses. Before Laswell put them all away, however, she pulled one last file from her bag, holding it with more care than the others. It was unassuming for the most part. It was a decent size, but there were no notes on the outside to denote what lay within. There were a few sticky notes peeking out from the sides, and a handful of paperclips that ensured it didn’t lay evenly.

When he went to open it, Laswell gently laid her hand over his, stopping Simon.

“This is everything I could find on their parents,” she murmured. “They don’t have any other family from what I can tell. It’s probably more than strictly necessary, but just in case they want to know more as they grow older. I included all the photos I could find.”

Johnny stepped up to stand next to Simon as she spoke, addressing both of them.

“That’s unusual for wolves, to be the only ones,” Johnny said, grief implicit in his voice.

Kate smiled sadly. “They had each other. From what I can tell, theirs was a small but happy family.”

Johnny made a sound in his throat, something caught between a whine and a chuff. When Simon slung his arm around his shoulders, he leaned in.

“We’ve got them now,” he murmured. “Thanks, Kate.”

“Of course, Simon. You know you ask and I’m there.”

As she passed them on her way to the door where Price and Gaz were waiting, she squeezed them both into a tight hug.

“You boys are doing a good thing,” she reassured.

When the door shut behind them, Johnny turned back to Simon.

“And then there were two,” he mused, going back to cleaning up anything left out for the night.

But Simon wasn’t paying attention. His eyes had made their way back to the file folder sitting on the table. Images of a woman, covered in blood, begging him to keep her children safe flashed before his eyes.

He slowly opened it, eyes scanning over basic demographic information, and a driver’s license photo.

Danica Anderson. A name.

She had Duncan’s eyes. Ailsa’s nose.

He flipped the page to find a man. Patrick. When he died, he had been in his wolf shape, so the face staring back at Simon was unfamiliar while simultaneously looking exactly like his children.

When he felt a hand on his shoulder, he startled.

“Just me, Si,” Johnny murmured.

“Sometimes I wish I had just left town earlier that night. Then maybe I could have gotten there sooner,” he whispered, reaching to slide his arm around Johnny’s waist. “I know I can’t change what happened, but they shouldn’t have died.”

A particularly wolfish sound left Johnny’s throat at that.

“Oh Si, I know. We do our best, but we can’t replace them.”

Gently, he pushed past all of the documents to the photos Laswell had mentioned. Johnny leaned further into his side as they looked at images from social media, photos likely hacked from some app online, and school photos from when Danica and Patrick were younger.

“She was bonnie,” Johnny observed, running a finger down a photo of Danica laughing at what appeared to be a professional conference.

“She was damn smart too. Doctor of entomology,” Simon commented, pulling aside a photo of the two of them at Danica’s commencement, proudly holding her degree while Patrick kissed her cheek.

Johnny smiled at that. “Now we know where Dunc’s love of creepy crawlies comes from. Oh and here’s their Da playing footie! Think I can convince them to get into it?”

There was a soft smile playing at his lips when Simon looked down at Johnny.

“I think you could probably get those pups to do just about anything with you.”

Johnny tilted his head back to look back at him.

The two of them weren’t fixed, but they were getting there.

They spent a little longer looking through the photos and learning about Ailsa and Duncan’s parents. Johnny got a little misty eyed when they found Danica’s maternity photos, and even Simon wasn’t sure his own eyes were totally dry.

“When it’s calmed down some more, I think we should talk with them about how they want to remember them,” he murmured as they gathered the file into some semblance of order again.

“Aye, that’s probably a good idea.”

When it was as together as it was going to get, Simon headed into the living room. He pushed the couch aside to reveal one floorboard in particular that lifted to reveal a fireproof lockbox.

“Code is ten-ten-eighty,” he said out loud.

The door popped open to reveal a small fortune in cash in multiple currencies, several passports, a handgun, about half a dozen knives, and a pile of several file folders where Simon stacked this one.

“I’ve got hard copies of the documents Laswell drafted up for the pups as well as some backups with aliases just in case. You’ve got some in here too.”

He didn’t look back to see what Johnny’s reaction was. They were retired, but Simon had learned that they had both been special forces. Hopefully the other man understood.

When he stood back up, Johnny wordlessly stepped forward to help him replace the couch.

“I guess I’ll sleep out here, if you wanted to take the bed with the wee’uns,” Johnny offered.

“I don’t want to wake them,” he admitted. “I can take the couch if you want the mattress.”

“Alright…”

They were back in awkward territory.

When they moved at the same time to move the mattress, they bumped into each other, muttering apologies. Simon stole a glance only to meet those blue eyes again, a blush once again taking up residence across Johnny’s cheeks.

They laughed softly, smoothly falling back into a partnership as they set up the living room for the night.

A creak sounded from the hallway behind them, and when they both turned to look, they found wide, sleepy eyes staring back at them.

“Simon? Johnny?” Duncan spoke, sounding small.

Instead of saying anything else, his sister pushed past him to march up to them, practically climbing Johnny to get him to hold her.

“Easy there, girly,” he chuckled.

She was still very clearly half-asleep, so all she did was snuggle closer and close her eyes again.

“Don’t leave again. Missed you,” she mumbled.

Duncan walked over and stood in front of Simon, lifting his arms up.

Like a well-oiled machine, Simon responded to his cue by hauling him up into his arms, and letting the boy latch around his neck like an octopus.

“Come sleep,” he demanded, surprisingly bossy in his sleepiness.

“We can tuck you in, Bug,” he assured.

“No. Everyone in the big bed.”

Simon and Johnny shared another smile.

“Aye, think we can manage that,” Johnny agreed.

Instead of putting away the mattress for the night, the silent agreement was to leave it for the morning. It was late. Their presence had been requested in the bedroom.

It was still a tight squeeze with all four of them, but the pups snuggled close. When Ailsa, almost definitely asleep already, felt Simon lay down beside her, she looped her arm around his, cuddling his biceps like her favorite stuffy. She did the same thing with her other arm when Johnny slipped in on her other side. Duncan just settled himself on top of Simon, never having let go of his neck.

“G’night,” he mumbled, promptly falling back asleep.

Before long, they were all tumbling headlong into the Sandman’s embrace.

Eric Albuja Tips for Making Your Dream Trips Affordable

Have you ever scrolled through Instagram, envy bubbling up as you see your friends jet-setting across the globe, exploring exotic destinations, while you're stuck at home counting pennies? Well, fret no more, because Eric Albuja, the master of affordable travel, is here to spill his secrets on how to turn those dream trips into reality without breaking the bank.

Plan Ahead, Be Flexible:

Eric Albuja's first golden rule is to plan but stay flexible. Keep an eye out for flight deals and accommodation offers months in advance. Being flexible with your travel dates can save you a significant amount of money, as prices tend to fluctuate depending on the time of year and day of the week.

Travel Off-Peak:

Avoiding peak travel seasons can be a game-changer when it comes to saving money. Eric Albuja Roanoke Tx recommends traveling during shoulder seasons or off-peak times when tourist destinations are less crowded, and prices are more wallet-friendly.

Embrace Budget Accommodations:

Forget about luxury hotels with hefty price tags. Instead, opt for budget accommodations such as hostels, guesthouses, or vacation rentals. Not only are these options more affordable, but they also provide a more authentic travel experience by allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture.

Cook Your Meals:

Eating out every meal can quickly drain your travel budget. Eric Albuja suggests shopping at local markets and grocery stores to cook your meals, especially breakfast and lunch. Not only is this a more budget-friendly option, but it also allows you to try local ingredients and flavors.

Use Public Transportation:

Skip the pricey taxis and rental cars and opt for public transportation instead. Buses, trains, and subways are not only more affordable but also allow you to experience your destination like a local. Plus, you'll save money on gas and parking fees.

Take Advantage of Free Activities:

You don't have to spend a fortune to have a good time while traveling. Eric Albuja recommends researching free or low-cost activities and attractions in your destination. Whether it's exploring parks and museums or hiking scenic trails, there are plenty of ways to enjoy yourself without breaking the bank.

Travel with a Group:

Sharing expenses with friends or family can significantly reduce the cost of your trip. Consider traveling with a group and splitting the price of accommodations, transportation, and meals. Not only will you save money, but you'll also create unforgettable memories with your travel companions.

Earn and Redeem Travel Rewards:

Make the most of the travel rewards programs airlines, hotels, and credit card companies offer. Eric Albuja Dallas TX suggests signing up for loyalty programs and using rewards points to offset the cost of flights, accommodations, and other travel expenses. Remember to pay off your credit card balance in full each month to avoid accruing interest.

Stay Open-Minded:

Finally, Eric Albuja encourages travelers to stay open-minded and embrace the unexpected. Sometimes the best experiences happen when you least expect them, so don't be afraid to stray from your itinerary and explore off the beaten path.

By following these tips from Eric Albuja, you can make your dream trips a reality without breaking the bank. So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your next adventure today and prepare to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Spiders Are Ugly And Other Lies Capitalism Has Told Us (part one)

“Dad,” Astrid called out, shutting the coral coloured front door behind her. “Are you home?”

She dumped her cream tote bag spray painted with the words ‘Washing Machine Heart’ in big, rainbow letters onto one of the stools facing the granite countertop. The rest of the Merry Hoes followed suit. It was weird seeing a person as chaotic as Astrid in such a calm environment.

They were all spending the summer in LA with Astrid and her Dad. It had taken a while for Kevin to convince his family it was a good idea. Especially because he and Blessica had finally put years of pinning behind them. Making out on Kit’s bed at Mina’s third birthday party certainly wasn’t the way they had envisioned it but as the longing was over with, they were happy.

The Chu’s didn’t love the idea of their son living in a different country for three months with his girlfriend but we’re on board once Kevin assured them there was no possible way Blessica could get pregnant.

Kit wasn’t officially sleeping at the Yang’s but at the Institute with his boyfriend. Julian wasn’t so thrilled about the situation but Emma was. She was positively ecstatic about having a training partner as skilled as Kit was, courtesy of Jem and Tessa. Though staying a thirty minute drive away (on the wrong side of the road, Mari noted) wouldn’t keep Kit away for long. Even now he was with them instead of having his own reunion make out session.

Speaking of making out…

Mari rested their chin on the top of Astrid’s head and wrapped their arms around her middle. “Why don’t you show us your room while we wait for your dad to get home.”

It was kinda perfect, Mari often remarked, that she realized her feelings for their best friend weren’t so platonic as she previously led herself to believe at the same time they and Kit realized they were better off as just platonic.

Astrid hit her hand playfully. “That’s not fair!” she whined! ”How dare you take advantage of my constant hornyness when my God-fearing Presbyterian father could be in the next room? Shame! Shame on you, shame on your family, shame on your cow.”

“I’m pretty sure it’s ‘dishonor’”, said Kit, who didn’t even look up from his phone when he addressed her, “but go off I guess.”

Astrid looked like she was questioning all her life choices up to this point. “A white boy knows Mulan better than me.” She shook her head in disgust. Mari could feel the loose hairs of her girlfriend’s ponytail ticking her exposed collar bone. “Mulan.”

Mari laughed before softly brushing their lips against Astrid mop of bleached strands of pastel yellow, pink and blue mixed magnificently with her natural inky black.

“Is hornyness even a word?” Kevin wondered aloud as he observed the knickknacks placed at even intervals utop the kitchen cabinets. Blessica was with him. She was gazing at one of a crab steering a ship when she spotted a slim piece of paper taped below it.

“Ast,” she called. The both looked in her direction, despite Blessica needing the attention of one. “Your dad says he won’t be home till seven. Emergency at work.”

“Which leaves us more than enough time to pack and head over to meet Ty, Dru and Thaìs at the arcade,” said Kit. He finally turned his phone off and shoved it into the back pocket of his ripped jeans. “Marstrid can do the ol’ devil’s tango then catch up to us.”

‘Marstrid’ wrinkled their noses. “I thought we agreed on Astari, Christopher.”

“Astari sounds gayer,” confirmed Kevin, his eyes never leaving the miniature decorations.

“Not to be rude but why does Astari sound gayer?” asked a visibly confused Blessica.

“Because,” answered Mari, unraveling herself from Astrid to slide onto one of the bar stools and reaching into the Jolly Rancher jar, blindly searching for a green, “Astari has ‘star’ in it. Star equals astrology. An obsession with astrology is the price you pay for the gay agenda. Besides, Marstrid sounds like an old southern lady.” Then she furrowed her eyebrows and swiveled to face Astrid. “Southern is Texas, right?” Astrid nooded, a smile so big the Cheshire Cat would be jealous.

Without looking, she stuck her hand in the jar and pulled out a green apple flavoured hard candy on her first try. She held it out to Mari, who snatched it out of her hand with an angry huff.

“Hey, Ast, where do you guys keep the crisps?” asked Kevin when he finished inspecting all the knickknacks.

“Uh, under the barbecue sauce, I think.”

Kit’s eyes lit up. “So I’m sitting there”- Astrid understood what was happening in just enough time to quote- “barbecue sauce on my titties” in unison.

Mari put her head into their open palms, still sucking on the pity candy. “Why is this my type?”

“Are you sure this is the right place?” asked Blessica as Kit attempted to parallel park outside the location Ty had texted him to meet at. Key word, attempt. When Tessa had taught him to drive, he’d been such a disaster at parallel parking she had instructed him to ‘take the underground when tight spaces might be a possibility.’ Which he prided himself in doing. But this was America and the underground was called the subway, so, technically, no rules were being broken.

“Yes, Blessie, I’m certain.”

“Okay. Just checking cause a few turns back the GPS said-”

“Blessie!” He nearly crashed into the car in front of him.

“Right. Shutting up.”

When Kit managed to park with minimal damage and the three were about to exit, the voice of Nicki Minaj boomed from his pocket. Ty was calling him. He accepted the call, putting it on speaker.

“Hello Tiberius.” There was giggling from the other end of the line. A groan soon followed it.

“It’s been a year,” came the annoyed voice of Dru. “Get over your British kink already.” Kevin’s laughter echoed from the backseat.

“Hey Ty!

“Hi Kevin.”

”Hey Dru!”

“Fuck off.”

“Ouch. Why do you feel the need to hurt me so?” Blessica laughed.

“Hey…Thaìs?”

“Here,” replied Thaìs cheerfully.

“Are you here yet,” asked Ty.

“Uh, yeah! We were just getting out of the rental car when you called. You didn’t tell me it was going to be crowded. I had to parallel park!”

“What are you talking about?” interrupted Dru. ”There are only four cars in the parking lot.”

“But,” Ty countered, “there are lots of Billy’s Fun Zones’ around here. You guys must have got mixed up and taken a wrong turn. I could have sworn I sent you the correct location on GPS.” Maybe Ty said more on the subject but Kit could hear anything or see anything except the superior smirk Blessica was giving him.

He covered the speaker. “Not. A. Word.” And no word came out of her mouth the entire ride to the correct Billy’s Fun Zone but the ‘I told you so’ look on her face spoke loud enough.

Kit slid back into the booth next to Ty, handing him his pretzel. Ty kissed him on the check in gratitude.

Dru and Ty were right. About this one being empty. He told him he had heard about it from Alyssa. Her pack frequented it often. They were left alone because, well, there was no one else there to bother them.

“Where are Astrid and Mari?” he asked.

“Fucking. I think. Or maybe just making out. I’ll know which one when they finish.” When Ty gave him a puzzled look he continued, “Astrid describes it all to me in full detail. I honestly don’t know whether she doesn’t have a filter or she just needs someone to scream to about how amazing Mari is.”

“Why can’t it be both?”

“True, true.”

They sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes before Ty picked up the conversation again. “When Thaìs first met Astrid, she had a huge crush on her. They got along great. I always thought they would end up together. Or hook up at the very least.”

“Huh, that’s funny,” observed Kit.

“What is?”

“When me and Mari split, I was planning on trying to set them up with Thaìs. But then I caught her ans Astrid making out in a storage closet at school. Which, in hindsight, was pretty stupid cause they were in there so I wouldn’t be sad Mari moved on when I opened the door in the first place avoiding her to call you.”

“Hmmmm.”

The gears in Ty’s head were visibly turning. Kit loved watching this process. An idea was forming in his boyfriend’s genius mind, he could sense it.

“What is their stance on monogamy?” he asked finally.

“Um, fuck, hold on. Mari sent me this whole speech about it.” Kit scrolled through his phone at a rapid rate before he saw what he was looking for. He cleared his throat and began reading aloud.

Mari_da_bisexual_whore, sent 1:52 AM: monogamy is just another lie capitalism has fed us

Mari_da_bisexual_whore, sent 1:55 AM: like, for example, the notion that house spiders are ugly and to be feared

Mari_da_bisexual_whore, sent 1:56 AM: it’s just to sell bug spray

Mari_da_bisexual_whore, sent 1:56 AM: same with monogamy

Mari_da_bisexual_whore, sent 1:56 AM: pointless!!!

Mari_da_bisexual_whore, sent 1:58 AM: in conclusion, if I want to join a polyam cult, who tf is the government to stop me?

Kev-Kev, sent 2:01 AM: mari please go to sleep

Bless-ing_to_the_world, sent 2:04 AM: ^^^^^^^^^^^

Mitski_my_love, sent 2:05 AM: preach!

Mitski_my_love, sent 2:05 AM: go off queen

By the time Kit was finished with his dramatic reading, Ty’s plan was fully formed.

“That settles it! We are going to play matchmakers!”
