[Closed] Dancing with the Wolves

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn eyed the guy who had been watching her warily, smiled at her next words. "Ah, I dunno. We're close that's for sure. Since things...happened..I'm one of the only people Cole even talks to anymore. Ty and Jake are lucky if they can get him to utter more than a few words at a time.." He shrugged, rubbed at his nose.

"Ah, sure we looked the same for the most part, 'cept the eyes of course. And...I'm almost one hundred percent sure Cole swings the other way sexually. But he's so damn quiet now.."

He leaned forward thoughtfully. "He's definitely one of the most important people in the world to me..I dunno what I would do without him."

She smiled, still tracing her finger across the table. She bit her lip, thinking about her brothers. "I'm pretty sure Marc likes boys.. But he's kinda like Cole. He doesn't say much. Not even to his twin. And I seem to repulse him, so.. But I think he's hurt.. We had to bring him to the hospital a lot. Still do.. Dad says after mom died, he stopped talking. Started trying to kill himself." She shrugged, brushing tears from her eyes. She didn't want to admit it hurt, seeing her brother so broken.

"It must be really nice to have someone to be close to." She choked out, a tear falling down her cheek. "I think it's cool, how people can be twins and triplets and stuff.. Do you and Cole ever try to confuse people? Cause when you guys are just sitting there, you can't tell the two of you apart."

"I know it's rough..." He murmured, rubbing her back gently when she seemed to be crying. "The accident that did this killed my father...on his birthday.." He bit his lip, hid the tremble of his jaw. "You wouldn't believe how broken we are...especially Tyler.." The other boy was flirting with some girl, simply trying to get her to buy him lunch.

He shook his head. "It's all a mask," He admitted, hand continuing to run across her back soothingly. "I think Jacob worries abotu Tyler's mental state most, even if he has problems of his own, goes to counseling twice a week...he..had been driving that night with a buzz. Both him and Ty had been drinking." He rubbed at an eye. "But we're strong yeah? Deep down we all are. Including you, including your brother..."

She laid her head down on the table, wiping her cheeks. She liked the feeling of his hand on her back, and she closed her eyes, letting him rub her back. She reached over, resting her hand on his leg. She opened her eyes looking over at him. "Sometimes I really don't want to be strong. I always hear how I'm the spitting image of my mom, how I act just like her, look just like her. And I don't even remember her.. I don't want to have to be the mom to five guys older than me.. I want to be Shaun, and do what I love, and find a guy who doesn't care I'm pretty much a dog.."

She watched Tyler, wondering what his girlfriend would think about it. 'Must not like her that much..' She thought, biting her lip. She looked up at Shawn again, removing her hand from his leg to touch his cheek.

Shawn gazed at her hand when she placed it on his leg. Every day it got harder and harder to remember what that would feel like there. "You may not have known her, nobody said you have to act like their mother...but no matter what you should think 'what would make her proud?' Go on and be yourself. Nobody is stopping you."

He smiled gently, chuckled. "At least you're not a mutt," He teased. He watched Tyler say something, probably about having a girlfriend just as the girl fell for the trap to give him money, and he recieved a slap to the face. Shawn shook his head as his older brother laughed and bounded away. "I guess we all deal with it differently.."

She continued to look up at him, wondering if she would be able to remember his face later, if she would actually see him Saturday. She had invited many guys to go to shows with her, and they all bailed. Not that she cared. She ran her thumb across his cheek, wondering what he could feel, and where. She brushed his hair out of his face, her eyes meeting his. She smiled softly, thinking that the girl who got him would be very lucky.

"Who says you're a mutt? Mutts aren't this cute. Unless they have one floppy ear." She smiled, retracting her hand. It felt wrong, touching him. She lowered her gaze, biting her lip again. "Nobody wants a dog. Especially a girl dog. They're just bound to be trouble, right?" She sat up, stretching a bit. "Oh well. I'm not worried about it. It's the last thing on my mind."

Shawn smiled faintly at the touch again his cheek, then felt her draw her hand back. "My mom's human, father was a full werewilf. Pretty sure that makes me a mutt," He teased. His hand still rested on her back. "Don't lut yourself down like that Shaun..I'm sure plenty of people would want you. You're beautiful, you have an amazing attitude.."

He smiled at her gently, taking in the lines of her face. He couldn't deny the attraction he felt.

[shaun michel foster]

She shook her head. "No, that makes you Shawn. And I like Shawn. He's amazing. He's adorable. And I think he's pretty much perfect." She said quietly, looking up at him. She looped her arm around his on her back, pulling it into her lap. She held it between hers, careful not to let their fingers lock.

"Anyone who would want to change anything about you is stupid. Plain and simple. You're the most amazing guy I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. You're different, but only because you treat others with respect, you don't just use them. And you're really sweet. I don't care if you can't walk. It just makes you you. That's all." She looked over at him.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn just smiled gently, running his thumb over the side of her hand. "That's cos people deserve respect," He murmured. "And I can't get it if I don't give it." He smiled again.

"And I could say the same about you, you're pretty amazing yourself, one of the first people to approach me with no hesitance at all. "I definitely wanna see you this weekend okay?"

He patted her hands gently. "You've already made today a really good day."

[shaun michel foster]

She smiled, looking down at her lap. "I'd love to see you this weekend. If you're okay being around a bunch of girls in their underwear. It's just a gift from our agents, and we can bring a few people to help promote VS. But I don't wanna bring a few people. I just wanna bring you." She smiled when he said she had made his day better.

"You made today pretty awesome, too. I think you're really cool. You gotta play the keyboard for me sometime." She looked over at him and smiled, squeezing his hand gently.
