[CLOSED] Welcome to our...humble home?

[tyler deschon gryffon]

Tyler draped his arm around her, trying to provide warmth. "Yeah, we're close. He nodded up ahead. "Just another block or two alright?" And then he continued on in silence.

Soon they were approaching rosewood and city life became more structured around the houses there. He led her on, pausing to open up the door upon reaching the house. Laughter from within, probably Shawn poking fun at someone again, a soft complaint, the sound of roughhousing and then silence, curiosity as Tyler opened the door and ushered charlie into the warmth of the house.

Charlie walked in, and looked around. She followed him to the kitchen, where she sat the bags down. She slipped off her jacket, draping it over a chair. She wrapped her arms around herself, tapping her fingers on her elbows. She could feel the bulge of her wings against her thin shirts. She sat down at the table, laying her head on her arms.

She looked over at him, watching him put the things away. She saw how smoothly he moved, and was almost embarased for herself that she couldn't move that delicately, and she was a girl. She swung her feet back and forth, then giggled. "Look, Tyler! My feet don't touch the floor!" She smiled over at him, wanting to hear him laugh, or talk again.

Tyler hadn't offered any explanation to his brothers about bringing someone inside. He could feel Jacob and Shawn watching, dumbfounded, Cole keeping to himself as usual.

So he went about putting things away, glanced over at Charlie as she spoke, and laughed breathily from where he was bent over the fridge. "That's pathetic," He taunted lightly, smiling before peering into the fridge. He was well aware of his brother watching this, making sure he didn't sneak a beer, and he sighed, loading things in before closing it and placing everything else in the cupboard. "Well then... Charlie, that's Jacob," He nodded towards his older brother. "Shawn's over there on the couch." The younger teen waved their way, odd eyes, one green, one brown, reflecting his gentle smile. "And that's Cole." Cole gazed up from his phone curiously, then looked away.

Charlie waved back at the boy, smiling at him. "I'm Charlie." She said quietly, looking from one twin to the other. "When you said twins, I didn't think you meant like.. mirrored images of one another." She looked down at her feet, biting her lip. "Hm.." She slipped off of the chair, slipping her jacket back on and hoping it would hide the bulge of her wings. She walked over to Cole, leaning over his shoulder.

She smiled at Shawn, then looked over at Jacob. 'Wow. They all have completely different personalities.' She thought.

She walked back over to Tyler, looking up at him. It was like a small child looking up at their father, she was so short. "My back hurts.." She whispered, almost in tears.

Tyler watched this all, Cole seeming a bit wary though he could tell he wasn't bothered much by it. He watched Shawn draw lifeless legs closer, curled lazily on the couch watching tv.

And then charlie was returning to him and he bit his lip. "Guys, imma show her around the house," He huffed, taking her arm gently and leading her towards the stairs. Climbing them, he stepped into the bedroom on the left. "I can leave if you want.." There were two beds here, his and Jacob's room, a poster on one wall adorned with a wolves eyes, the rest of the walls just plain white, a few clothes strewn about but otherwise pretty clean, Jacob's acoustic guitar on it's stand against the wall. "But they won't bother you up here if you need a bit. Promise." He smiled crookedly.

"Just.. stand outside for a minute?" She asked, and watched as he left and closed the door. She climbed into his bed -knowing it was his because of his cologne. She pulled off her jacket, then her shirts, tossing it all to the floor. She laid down, closing her eyes as her wings painfully broke free of the skin of her back. "Ow.." She cried, pulling his blanket close to her, covering her chest as best she could. It probably didn't help that her jeans were low on her hips and she was half naked in his bed, but she didn't care. She just wanted Tyler there with her. And as attractive as he was, she guessed he had probably slept with a many girls.

She looked up as he walked in the room. She pulled his blanket closer, looking up into his blue eyes. She sat up, pulling his blanket around her. "I'll fix your bed before I leave.." She said, patting the bed beside her. "Come sit? Please?"

Tyler left when she asked, waiting outside the door patiently until he heard he mumbled 'ow'. He hesitated,knocked once, then opened the door a crack and peered in before stepping inside.

When she asked that he come sit, he did so, shrugging. "Not worried about the bed," he huffed, collapsing back. Blonde hair fanned lightly around his head, feet still on the floor, one arm draped lazily over his stomach, the other lying on the bed palm up.

He stared at the ceiling thoughtfully before tilting his head to gaze over at her, taking in her wings with a faint, satisfied smile. They were amazing. "Feel better..?"

[charlie annalise richards]

Her wings twitched, and she laid down beside him, curling up at his side. She looked up at him, still amazed at how blue his eyes were. "It doesn't hurt as much as it did.." She said quietly, her hand finding his on his stomach. She felt their fingers intertwine, and got butterflies all over again.

"How do you do that..?" She asked, moving a little closer to him. "Do you.. I've never in my life gotten butterflies in my stomach around anyone.." She mumbled, laying her head on his chest, her eyes never leaving his. She searched his face, praying he wasn't sad anymore. She would stay here forever if it meant he wouldn't be sad anymore.

"Are you not sad now?" She asked, biting her lip. "Will you tell me why you were sad, Tyler?"

Tyler smirked when she talked about never getting butterflies in her stomach. How was he supposed to know? And then she asked him about being sad. "I dunno..am I..?" He huffed softly, thoughtfully. "Sometimes I think I hide it so well I even trick myself...."

He bit his lip, shrugging faintly. "But the why...ah...we don't talk about it much," He admitted. "It's..rough on the family, especially Jacob." He rubbed at his face some. "Guilt we can't let go of, even now.. tears us apart sometimes."

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie scooted up, keeping his blanket tight around her. She laid her head on his shoulder, seeing that her question had hurt him. "We don't have to talk about it, okay? We can just lay here until I have to go find somewhere to sleep, okay? Please be happy, at least for tonight? For me?" She looked up at him, squeezing his hand gently. She pulled his hand to her hip, then reached up, stroking his cheek.

"What'll make you happy, Tyler?" She asked, looking at him, biting her lip. She honestly wanted him to be happy. And she would do whatever he asked, it it meant he would be happy. "Please? I wanna see you smile.."
