[OPEN] full moons? they drive us mad.

Shaun looked up as Baz came down the stairs, grabbing a slice of pizza before he plopped down in a chair. He ate it slowly, looking out the window. Shaun just ate her slice, feeling sick at the idea that there wasn't just pizza in her stomach now. 'Why couldn't it have been Shawn?' She thought for the hundreth time today.

"Shaun!" She looked over at Baz, not realizing she was lost in thought.

"Huh?"

"I asked if you needed to go get any clothes." He said.

"No.." She figured she could always just wash her underwear instead of dealing with her dad to get her clothes.

Charlie finished picking up the glass, tossing it in the trash can before she walked over, sitting on the edge of Tyler's bed. She ran her fingers slowly through his hair, biting her lip.

Shawn nestled up, playing with her hand with his free one. He watched Cole sit down on the floor by Baz's feet, smiling to himself. They were so attached at the hip it wasn't even funny.

Tyler closed his eyes at the touch, drawing in a far more careful breath. Briefly he turned a glassy gaze her way, regret edging it, then yawned softly, nestling into the blankets.

Shaun smiled, slowly slipping her fingers between his. She squeezed his hand gently, resting it in his lap. She finished off her slice of pizza, then put her soda between her legs so he could pop the tab on it. She took a drink from it, looking over at Shawn for a second. She couldn't help thinking again how handsome he was.

Baz leaned down, tipping Cole's chin back gently to kiss him softly. He smiled and pulled away slowly, placing a kiss on his forehead.

Charlie continued to play with his hair for a few more minutes before she knelt beside the bed. She folded her arms over the edge and laid her head on them, closing her eyes.

Shawn caught her looking and smiled back faintly, finishing his pizza and kissing her temple gently. "What?" He teased softly.

Cole leaned up for the kiss, smiled the slightest bit before picking at his pizza. He took a careful bite.

Tyler soon began to drift into sleep, tense and drunk body relaxing, his lips parted with his soft breaths. He was sweating, but remained curled tightly under the blankets.

[shaun michel foster]

Shaun smiled, laying her head on his shoulder. "Just realizing how cute you really are." She said, sitting her plate aside. She curled up close by his side, holding her coke in her hands as she closed her eyes.

Sebastian smiled, reaching down to slowly run his fingers through Cole's hair. He kissed the top of his head, telling him that he would be back before he got up to throw away his pizza crust and go upstairs to use the bathroom. When he came back out, he leaned over the balcony, looking at Shaun.

"Want me to throw your clothes in the wash?" He asked her.

"Oh. No. I got it.." She mumbled, biting her lip. She got up carefully, putting her plate in the kitchen before she started up the stairs, passing Baz going down.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn laughed. "Oh, yeah?" He chuckled, watching her affectionately as she got up. He shifted his weight some, watching Baz come back down the stairs. It was silent up there, and he wondered if Tyler had drank himself into oblivion and finally passed out.

Cole was curled against the chair slightly, head resting over it, an arm wrapped tightly around his stomach. He glanced towards Baz, biting his lip.

[shaun michel foster]

Shaun brought her clothes downstairs to wash them, then took Shawn's plate to put it in the sink. She sat back down beside him, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "I told Ty we'd sleep in the den tonight." She said, leaning her head back to kiss his jaw.

Baz smiled, sitting down in front of him. "You're as close to perfection as I've found, love." He said, leaning over to kiss his nose playfully. "And if you say you aren't, I'm sleeping on the sofa tonight. No snuggling for you."

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn hugged her tight, tilting his head with a faint smile at the kiss. "Mm, okay," He murmured, rubbing her back gently.

Cole looked up, managed a smile. "Okay," He murmured. He rubbed at his stomach some, watching Sebastian.

[shaun michel foster]

Shaun draped her legs over him, scooting close to his side. She kept her arms tight around him, not wanting to be away from his side. She looked up from where she had her head, her eyes tracing every line of his face. "How did I end up with someone as amazing as you?" She asked, slowly tracing her fingers over his chest.

"Are you trying to tell me something or does your tummy hurt?" Baz asked Cole, opening his arms so Cole could come climb in his lap.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn kept her pulled close, laughed. "Mm.. I dunno.. How did I get somebody so beautiful?" He kissed the tip of her nose gently, reaching to brush her hair back.

"It just hurts.." He mumbled, climbing into Baz's lap. He rested his head on his shoulder, nestling close. It had bothered him that morning but he hadn't worried and it went away. He just didn't know why it was back.
