BEX
Good morning hun. How are you? Sleep well? ❤❤❤
SIGYN
Weird and intense dreams that I don't remember lol
BEX
Sounds like fun. Shame you don't remember. I had one big dream that was
like scenes flashing in a movie. Heheheh
so let’s see…Bash is once again trying to entice Trent, but Trent is
holding him out away from him. Hmmm…. *giggles* That's a bit awkward with 3
people dancing together. oh my 😆
SIGYN
yeaaahhh
REBECCA notices Bash's actions and smirks, going to stand behind him, she taps his shoulder lightly and nods her head slightly
May I?
Meaning did
he want to dance with her a moment, hoping Trent would catch the message. She dances
with Bash, he dances behind her.
SEBASTIAN raises eyebrow coolly at her
Be my guest.
TRENT, still blushing, moves behind Rebecca and follows her movements
REBECCA
You dance divinely,
Sir. Thank you.
SEBASTIAN has an amused sort of look as he curls back up on the couch,
smile fading as he watches them
TRENT turns her round and kisses her, whispers
That was so awkward,
thank you.
SIGYN
so he curled up on the couch, like, lying down and taking up the whole
couch. She would be sitting in front of his knees XD good thing she's tiny
BEX
oh god, I thought you meant like…curled in a ball. eep! ok they go
sit somewhere else!
SIGYN
he's like…
oh ok he's around the same height as Trent
so he'd at least take up 2/3 of the couch
REBECCA hugs Trent and kisses his cheek, whispering back
You are welcome, my love. Anytime.
She chuckled softly and taking his hand, went to sit in the lounge chair, making space in case Trent wanted to join her.
Man, that
was fun! We need to have more nights like that!
BEX
there…fixed it. Hehehehe
TRENT sits on the arm of the lounge chair, trying to ignore the flinty look Bash is giving them both
The dancing was fun, yes…
REBECCA
What a workout though. Whew.
*giggles and looks up at Trent,
smirking*
CAT
Morning everyone!
*comes in with a grin and some coffee*
How's it going?
*goes and shoos Bash's feet away a moment on the couch so she can sit and then takes his legs and props them back on hers*
Still going at it, huh?
(teases)
NATE stumbles out, looking thoroughly wrecked and happy
TRENT rises and goes to hold him steady
Little bug?
REBECCA looks over at Nate
Hey hun. You ok?
*goes to get him something to drink and comes back*
Here, sip slowly. Looks like you need it
GEORGE comes out with a smug smirk on his face, he too has a few
noticeable bruises and a slightly small cut on his left cheek, but he looks
happy as a clam
TRENT shivers pleasantly
Okay, let's— mmm….
*takes the drink from Rebecca and gently feeds it to Nate*
There you go,
sweetie, easy
CAT laughs softly
Ok, everyone needs to take a seat away from each
other…until Luci gets here at least.
SEBASTIAN to George
What the hell happened to you?
GEORGE chuckles softly
Only the BEST TIME ever! (he says enthusiastically, looking over at Bash)
SEBASTIAN
Congratulations. Might want to put some witch hazel on that
*gestures to his cut and bruises*
GEORGE looks down and then touches his face
Right…good idea. thanks.
*goes off into the bathroom to do so*
TRENT pulls Nate into his lap and caresses him lovingly, rubbing aloe
into his skin
XAN comes in, a little slowly, still kind of in a huff
Morning….
His voice low as he just stands there.
Listen—-ummm—-this isn't exactly easy for me cause I never—-
*sighs and runs his fingers through his hair*
I want to apologize last night for my actions, to all concerned. It was rude and wrong of me, and I am sorry…for ALL my actions.
It came out so fast that he almost
tripped over his own words, never having ever apologized for anything in his
life before.
SEBASTIAN stands, stalks towards Xander, and looks like he's going to square up… before pulling him into a bro-hug and patting his back
We're good.
TRENT
If he forgives you, I guess I can too.
XAN stiffens and stares at Bash, but is taken by complete surprise when the man hugs him and it's all he can do but stand there, wondering what the hell is going on…till his brain clicks back on and he hugs Bash gently back
Thanks…both of you…
TRENT
Honestly, I'm too horny to be mad right now. Nobody touch my
little bug.
SEBASTIAN rolls his eyes
REBECCA smirks over at Trent playfully
I can help you with that, Love.
NATE
If that would require me to move from his lap, it's cozy here and I
don't want to.
SEBASTIAN
You and George seriously couldn't go a full hour without
touching?
NATE chuckles
No 🥰
FREYA comes in with a crooked, happy grin on her face. Still wearing Faustus's shirt, but has put on some actual shorts this time. looking like she is positively glowing!
Morning!
REBECCA chuckles and shrugs slightly at Nate's words, before looking over at Freya
Wow! Someone looks mighty pleased with herself! (teases)
You guys go all night?
FREYA
Maybe…
*grins brightly*
CAT
uh-huh…
*laughs softly as she too, notices the slight bruises and hickies on Freya's neck and shoulders.*
Damn girl…what he do? eat you?
FREYA blushes and snorts a laugh
GEORGE
Nope! Not for one moment…All. Night. Long!
SEBASTIAN makes a face
REBECCA
Seems we all had a bit of fun last night…
*chuckles*
MAZE slides in with Luci, discussing the merits of waterboarding; Luci
holds up a hand to stop her when they see Trent, who thankfully is oblivious
XAN perks up a bit at seeing Maze and walks over to her, bowing slightly
Good morning beautiful.
MAZE
Mornin babe
CAT
Babe?
*smirks*
XAN pays Cat no mind and takes Maze's hand and brings it up for a gentle kiss
How are you?
MAZE
Good as ever, you?
Trent and Nate are making out on the couch like teenagers, bemoaning the fact that
aloe makes your skin taste terrible
XAN
All the more better now, that you are here.
*chuckles softly and
goes to sit, pulling her lightly into his lap*
GEORGE looks over at Trent and Nate
Ummm guys…one hour. Or go back
into the bedroom and work it off. (teases)
TRENT
no…
CAT
Well, I don't want you guys to start stripping in front of me.
*snickers*
I don't need to know you that well, Bro.
TRENT
He's already naked and I'm not stripping…
I do have some self-control
[SNIP pic/video exchange]
BEX
CUDDLE TIME! ♥ ♥ ♥
Hi! Good morning, Lucius! How are you! ♥ ♥ ♥
GEORGE tosses a blanket to cover Nate's waist at them and chuckles
I'm going to fix breakfast today. Any requests?
*stands and looks around*
TRENT
Bacon wrapped sausage and eggs over medium?
NATE
Mmm… Pineapple smoothie and scrambled eggs with cheese and avocado
MAZE
I'll just have leftover pizza.
LUCI
I'd love a breakfast burrito, please.
FAUSTUS
the same for me, if you will.
SEBASTIAN
Also bacon-wrapped sausage
GEORGE nods, committing everything to memory
Got it….be right back.
FREYA
Need help?
ALL (Bex-side)
NO!
CAT
You know what, I'll help George.
*chuckles and stands and follows
him into the kitchen, having already gotten Rebecca and Freya's orders or
pancakes and sausage *
SEBASTIAN goes to sit with Trent and Nate
Hey.
TRENT
Bash, I really wouldn't.
SEBASTIAN reaches out and strokes Nate's cheek
How—oooh…. How are you
feeling, handsome?
NATE
cozy.
TRENT frowns at Sebastian
REBECCA watches and frowns
Really Bash!
*looks over at Luci*
Would you
please…negate them or something?
GEORGE calls from the kitchen
We REALLY don't want to have a brawl
this early please!
CAT calls out also
Yea! No bloodletting till late afternoon y’all!
Both she and George laugh
SEBASTIAN cups Trent's face and kisses him hungrily
TRENT makes a noise of dissent and pushes him off
Luce, please…
LUCI
Very well, then.
*Touches all three men with his wing*
NATE to Bash
What the hell, dude?
REBECCA sits glaring at Bash, but allows Luci to take care of the
problem. Hoping no one notices that her knuckles have gone white as one of her
hands clench into a fist
XAN
See? My assumption was correct… (says softly)
GEORGE comes in with the first round of food and sets it out, seeing the way Nate is reacting
What…is going on?
NATE stands up and goes to hug George
GEORGE hugs Nate tightly and rubs his back
Nate? Love…what's wrong?
(asks him softly)
NATE
I'm okay. Luci just negated my thrall. But before he did, Bash
tried to use it to take advantage of Trent
Nate could feel GEORGE's body suddenly stiffen. He glared at Bash, suddenly, for the first time in his life, wanting to be violent.
GEORGE
What part of NO do you have a hard time understanding?
His voice low, soft,
almost dangerous.
SEBASTIAN
You're overreacting. It's not like he's your boyfriend.
NATE
No, but he is my boyfriend—
SEBASTIAN
Oh yeah, of course. You're his cute little bug, you're his
pet
EPIPHANY zaps Sebastian
GEORGE moved so fast no one really clocked what was happening till it was over! He walked over and PUNCHED THE HELL OUT OF BASH!
Don't you EVER say that again! About Nate, about Trent, or anyone else! Hear me!
TRENT
Sebastian?!
*Kneels by his friend*
George… Oh no … Sebastian, Nathaniel isn't my pet, he's an important person in my life, and so are you, and I really wish you'd stop this!
His voice is shaking as tears slip down his face.
I told you, you can't say mean things to the other people in my life
anymore.
SEBASTIAN
Or what, you're going to cut me out of your life? You should
have let me leave last night, if these people are so much more important to you
than I am!
TRENT
You're all important to me! Why can't you understand that?
GEORGE calms and kisses Nate's cheek as he passes him, heading back to
the kitchen to help Cat bring out the rest of breakfast
FREYA
Jealousy does not become you…
Her words soft.
It is something
that eats at you inside. Turns you black and dark. Be grateful you have him in
your life at all, and he cares for you still as a friend. Most…wouldn't even
DO that.
CAT
What's going on out there? (asks George softly)
GEORGE
Bash putting moves on Trent again and then called Nate his pet. (says angrily)
I'm not sorry I hit him!
CAT
wait? YOU? You hit someone? Is it going to snow?
*trying to take the
edge off*
GEORGE
Sure…a blizzard. come on, let’s get breakfast out.
CAT brings the rest of the food out and looks around
Food….
SEBASTIAN
No one asked you, flameslut.
TRENT
Sebastian, stop it!
FREYA stiffened and felt, just for a fleeting instant, that fire rise
within her. But….she remembered Faustus's words from earlier, and simply
settled back down beside him. She was above such insults. She would NOT get
angry. Bash couldn't make her….but it was HARD!
FAUSTUS murmurs
Good, love. Very good. He's beneath your notice.
FREYA smiled up at Faustus at his praise. THAT felt good
Indeed,
Love….
TRENT
Sebastian, I really don't want you to leave. I adore you. You
know that. We've been friends forever…
SEBASTIAN
I just don't get it. Why do you notice Nathaniel and even
George, but not me?
TRENT
I notice you.
SEBASTIAN
Not like that.
TRENT pulls him close and hugs him
Look, I'm sorry to say it, but
George was right to hit you. What you said was really mean and spiteful.
Nathaniel is brilliant and sweet and warm—
SEBASTIAN
And what am I, Trent? Hmm?
TRENT
…
REBECCA
You have your own quirks and such, Bash but Trent isn't interested in you that way. (says softly)
He has said so, time and again, and
pushing him will not only upset him, but everyone else here. You are causing
this all on your own. No means No not Try Harder.
GEORGE
I won't apologize, but I understand a bit where you are coming from.
He still frowns as he cuddles Nate.
Trust me, this is not a road you
want to go down. There is NO returning from it past a certain point.
SEBASTIAN
FUCK OFF, REBECCA. You couldn't be bothered to notice him
until you put his ass in the hospital! You don't deserve—
TRENT
HEY!
*stands and drags Sebastian by the wrist outside to discuss this
privately*
NATE
Rebecca, are you okay?
XAN
I still say you should just let me eat him. (says with a smirk)
Trent can talk to him till he's blue in the face. He will never get it. To stuck in his delusions of what he thinks the way things should be……sad really……
TRENT from outside
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, XANDER
REBECCA nods and is gritting her teeth to keep from reacting
Yea, Hun.
I am alright. Thanks. You ok?
XAN
Was merely a suggestion…I wasn't really going to.
*chuckles*
NATE
I'm just thinking it's a good thing Trent told me about George's
feelings when he did…
*chucks George's chin affectionately*
You had some serious anger issues
for a couple days, 'member that?
GEORGE blushes and nods
I remember…but I tried, for you. I love you,
Nate.
NATE
I love you, too, and once I understood why you were acting the way
you were, it did make things easier in my head going forward.
REBECCA chuckles and leans forward to get her breakfast
It made things
in the office a bit awkward for a while till you guys figured it all out.
NATE
I hate to say it, but I kind of do think Bash would mellow out if
Trent at least gave him a chance. You know, like if they went on a date and
Bash realized they're not as compatible as he thinks?
CAT
and what happens if Trent realizes that they are? (asks curious, her eyes flicking to Rebecca and back to Nate)
No one thinks of that….
FREYA grabs her breakfast before it goes cold and hands Faustus his
That….would present some problems.
NATE
I have, but… Rebecca made it more than clear she didn't want to go
out with Trent when he was blackmailing her, and he wasn't deterred.
He didn't start mellowing out around her until they actually started
dating.
REBECCA
yes, but we shared a past history too, of sorts…me and Bash, don't. (says simply)
Plus, I think I have made great progress in all of this….why
should I be asked for more?
CAT nods
See? exactly my point.
REBECCA
Not trying to be selfish….or maybe…I am…a little….but I don't think I should have to, to be honest. I never expected to share with you, Nate or even you, George….and I am still making peace with that because I love you, Nate. It's hard, but I am trying. I don't love Bash….
*trails off, knowing she
isn't explaining it right*
SIGYN
aargle raargle. Stupid site won't verify my identity, so I have to wait
in line for half an hour for a video call
BEX
Hope they get the stuff fixed for you. Least you can talk to someone
instead of arguing with technology.
SIGYN
Oh yeah, I can talk to people robots who are programmed with certain
responses instead of talking to actual robots that are programmed with certain
responses
I hate bureaucracy
BEX
Ohhh same hun. Same.
Things will work out though.
NATE
I don't think anyone loves Bash, honestly. Who could?
REBECCA giggle snorts
CAT
Nate…be nice. He's not really so bad.
NATE
Um, he's trying to bogart Rebecca's and my boyfriend and blatantly
resents both of us because Trent loves us
CAT
yea…there’s that and I wholly don’t agree, like at all! But he’s hurting too. Not trying to take sides but if wasn’t so keen on my brother….
*pauses*
naw can’t say that cause I do kind of like him. Just wish he would let
all this between him and Trent go really.
NATE
yep. I agree. He'd be kind of cute if he wasn't such a dick to me
CAT
well…if he can't have one sibling….
*trails off and smirks*
NATE makes a face
REBECCA
Cat! You can't make someone fall in love.
CAT
I didn't mean it…ok, so not exactly like that.
NATE
I mean… I knew exactly which sibling I wanted. You make it sound
almost like he could settle… But I know that's not really it either.
CAT
I don't want him to settle…I just want things to stop being so tense, and to eventually, find someone to spend time with at the same time. Two birds with one stone, ya know?
*sighs*
I am so not explaining this right
NATE
No, I get it.
CAT looks at Nate with a slightly surprised look
You…do?
NATE
Yeah, I understand what you mean. I don't like the tension or the
constant infighting either
CAT nods
Thanks, Nate.
*smiles*
GEORGE
He can be quite sweet, when he tries. (teases and kisses his
cheek)
NATE
I think you're sweet even without trying 🥰
GEORGE
you know I love you.
*giggles and kisses him*
NATE 🥰
MAZE
I'm just gonna…
*Peeks out the door*
Oh, looks like they made up.
SEBASTIAN is sitting in the hall with Trent's head in his lap
REBECCA
Did they? That's nice….
CAT
How so, Maze?
NATE reheats his, Trent's, and Bash's breakfasts
MAZE
What are you guys doing still sitting here?
REBECCA
They still out there?
*chuckles*
CAT
Something in the way Maze said that, doesn't sound right…
REBECCA
Cat. not right now, kay?
Sebastian and Trent walk back in and get their food and eat it
NATE also eats
It's a good thing you guys work out. Bacon wrapped
sausage is a recipe for a heart attack
SEBASTIAN
Yeah, but it's delicious
CAT watches them but says nothing
GEORGE chuckles
Well, you guys aren't the only ones who can cook well.
(teases)
NATE
I love your cooking, George.
TRENT
Me, tooooo
GEORGE blushes and chuckles
Well, thank you
XAN nods
If I could eat, I am sure I would enjoy it.
REBECCA
Glad you guys worked things out. We good, yes? No more….whatever
that was?
SEBASTIAN, smiling happily
For now, at least
REBECCA
Good.
*nods and leans back in her seat.*
CAT
well, that's a good thing. Maybe no more brawls till later tonight
huh? And then only the fun kind…
GEORGE
oh yea! The Angel and the Priest still us one.
*laughs*
TRENT eats his food quietly
LUCI
Hmm, I suppose we do…
FAUSTUS
I'd rather save that energy for other activities
FREYA snickers softly
you have no issues with energy, Love. None at
all.
FAUSTUS
Not when it comes to you 😉
FREYA
I beg to differ, love.
*smirks up at Faustus*
we didn't have any
issues last night.
NATE
Hey, Trent. You guys okay? Did you fight?
TRENT nods
I fought.
REBECCA's eyes furrow slightly
what happened?
FAUSTUS
Well, I want to save all my energy for making love to you,
rather than these tawdry brawls.
TRENT
I lost.
*Goes back to quietly eating*
FREYA chuckles and kisses his cheek
you are perfection, you know that?
REBECCA
lost what? I'm lost. What is happening? Are you ok?
NATE
You… Lost a fight?
TRENT
I'm fine. Hungry.
REBECCA noticed right away that something was wrong
Babe…can we
talk a moment, please?
TRENT
Nope. Let me eat.
*continues eating his food*
FAUSTUS
As are you.
REBECCA settles back in her seat to give him a moment but she will
figure out what is going on soon enough
PENRYN
Or you could respect his boundaries and
drop it???
AKUMA
Don’t be silly, of course she can’t!
FREYA blushes lightly at Faustus's words
thanks love.
SIGYN
haha Trent isn't going to tell her
BEX
what happened? Lol cause omissions are lies and they promised
SIGYN
I'm not getting into this again, but some omissions aren't lies
and he's not going to talk about it
I still think the insistence on knowing absolutely everything at all
times is really controlling & not comfortable with it 😕
BEX
ohhhh ok. I forgot about how we are different on that. Lol
sorry
❤❤❤
PIFFY
"I don't
want to talk about it" is not lying by omission!
it's not okay
to need to know every little thing
there's this thing called PRIVACY
SIGYN
ah, understood. We good
BEX
or me…I guess it has to do with my background and slight trust
issues far as men are concerned. Several people I have been romantically
involved with 'hid' stuff or omitted and when I found out…literally by an act
of fate or their mistake I was so hurt and angry. Steve did it once too and I
caught him, and it hurt so it's not that I'm trying to control everything cause
I'm not but I don’t want to wait for the other shoe to drop all the time either
terrible at explaining. Hehehe
PENRYN
Sounds like an issU not an issTHEM.
SIGYN
okay, I understand. The thing is, though, I know you and Rebecca share
a name, but she's a character from a tv show, like, she isn't you, so while
it's ok to work out some things through characters, I would suggest working out
that particular thing through an OC
in Trent's case, he didn't cheat, he didn't personally do anything
wrong, but he still doesn't feel comfortable sharing the details of their
argument for whatever reason, and if she pushes him about it, it's going to
strain their relationship
BEX
gotcha…hehehe. me and Steve worked it out, that mishap but that's
still the way my brain works and my fallback which therapy is helping but
still. Lol I'll try and remember that though because I don’t like always
feeling that way either. 😛
And understood. Thanks for explaining. That really helps a lot. ❤❤
SIGYN
sure!! Bash did do something bad, but at this point, Trent doesn't
want any conflict anymore because it's exhausting being caught in the middle 😺
anyway 😺
NATE frowns and looks between the two other men, but eats his food
quietly
CAT catches Nate's look and Trent's look but says nothing. Tension though…
so whole day today…fun times.
GEORGE
yes, last night was awesome. I didn’t know I could top like that.
*smiles at Nate*
thanks for that babe
SEBASTIAN is just merrily chowing down without a care in the world
NATE
Mmm, you're always an amazing top, George. Last night, though, that
was phenomenal. Addictive, even
GEORGE
was it? I hoped that I didn’t go to rough. It was like I was
there…but also wasn't…if that makes sense.
TRENT toys with his fork, considering something
NATE
No, you weren't too rough. I enjoyed every second.
GEORGE
ohh…well…good.
*chuckles softly and smiles*
TRENT
Rebecca, can I ask George something? Also, do you want to watch?
REBECCA
ummm…ok?
*looks over at Trent and then at George*
TRENT lets his hand glow full-on red and takes George's hand, and whispers in his ear
George, I want you to take me into the other room,
face-fuck me until I can't remember my own name, and then top me exactly the
way you did with Nate last night. Do you think you can handle that?
GEORGE's smile faded from sickening sweetly as Trent touched him, hearing his words as that same glint the night before came into his eyes
as you wish…
He stood and led Trent from the room, unable to carry him like Nate
since he was so tall.
REBECCA blinks but stands and follows
SIGYN
Trent is shorter than Nate LOL
BEX
oh crap…hehehehe
SIGYN
Scott Michael foster is 6'2"
Trent and Bash are about 5’9”
Editor’s Note: Initially had said “Trent is about 5’8”, but he’s
actually a couple inches taller than Josh, who is canonically 5’8”, so Trent is
probably closer to 5’10”. Sebastian is 5’9”.
SIGYN
George is maybe 5'6"
PENRYN
He's 5'8".
NATE didn't catch what Trent said but got the gist of it from his body
language
CAT watches them leave and then looks over at Bash as her eyes furrow a bit. But stands and walks over to him
you feeling better?
*curious and asked
gently*
SEBASTIAN
Yeah, I'm good, thanks 😊
CAT
good. I'm glad you're here though.
She pauses as her phone rings.
opps…one moment
all (Bex-side) is silent for a moment till there was a loud crash coming from the room
where Cat had gone
SEBASTIAN is out of his seat in a second
Cat?!
CAT
I'm fine!
*peeks out*
sorry…something fell.
*closes door and comes
back out a few moments later dressed in a short skirt and a low cut v shirt*
SEBASTIAN
Cute outfit. What's going on?
CAT
nothing…just wanted to relax a bit before I have to get to the docs
office.
SEBASTIAN
cool cool cool. So what are we doing?
XAN
y'all danced last night I heard.
*chuckles*
shame I missed it.
His
eyes cut playfully to Freya, who ignores him.
CAT
since I'm not 'allowed' to drink…are there any games where drinking isn’t required?
*smirks*
FAUSTUS
Could drink with juice instead.
CAT
that's an idea! So, what shall we play together?
LUCI
How about Truth or Dare?
FREYA
sounds like it could be fun. I'm in.
CAT
me too!
XAN
count me it too
MAZE
Yeah, sounds fun.
*Wicked smirk*
NATE
I'm game.
SEBASTIAN
One rule. You can't dare someone to tell you the truth.
LUCI
Yes, that would defeat the purpose of choosing dare…
FAUSTUS
I'm in.
FREYA
so who goes first?
MAZE
Glad you asked. Freya, truth or dare?
FREYA chuckles
dare….
MAZE
I dare you to hang your panties out the window and yell
"Freebird!"
FREYA bursts out laughing and shakes her head. Stands and thanking Satan, Faustus's shirt was long enough, she slipped her shorts off and then her panties, putting the shorts back on and goes to the window, opens it and screams at the top of her lungs as she dangles out the window with panties in hand
FREEBIRD!
We hear yells of "AH! NO! PELLEGRINO, PELLEGRINO!" from
the other room. Nate and Lucifer immediately get to their feet and go there.
Lucifer breaks the thrall, heals Trent, and Nate helps Trent walk back to the
circle.
TRENT, shaking slightly
it's okay, little bug, I'm okay. Um. What's
going on?
NATE
Truth or Dare. Freya just did her dare, so she gets to pick who's
next.
GEORGE comes in, looking a bit sheepish as he takes up a seat. He
hadn't meant to hurt Trent and the fact that a safeword…of sorts, was used,
mortified him
PENRYN
Good job making someone else safewording all about you.
REBECCA returned, a little shell shocked but she sat by Trent and Nate
quietly
FREYA
ummmmm…Lucifer…truth or dare?
LUCI
Truth. I've nothing to hide.
TRENT goes and hugs George
I'm okay, Georgie.
GEORGE hugs Trent and kisses his cheek
I'm sorry.
FREYA
is it true…that Angels have the fastest recovery time of any species?
*giggles*
BEX
did Trent really shout a wine brand as his safe word? Lol
SIGYN
yes lol
it's sparkling water, is how he knows it
TRENT
Hey, it's okay. I forgot Little Bug likes it rougher than me, and
I did tell you to do the exact same thing to me you did to him
LUCI
We're generally invulnerable, actually, but yes.
GEORGE smiles a bit, feeling a bit better.
PENRYN
Is Trent seriously having to comfort George because using his safeword
hurt George’s feelings? Ugh.
CAT
is that so, Luce? Interesting.
*chuckles*
LUCI
Right then. Cat, truth or dare?
CAT
truth
LUCI
Describe your perfect date.
CAT thinks a moment
well…we'd meet up at the house, and then go out to
a nice dinner, talk and get to know each other. Share our likes and dislikes
and such. Then if the weather is nice, go for a walk on the beach…or even to an
art museum and just bask in each other’s company and the peace of the moment.
soooo…let's see…Bash. truth or dare?
SEBASTIAN
Dare.
CAT
I dare you to…make an obscene phone call to someone random….not in
this room.
BEX
kinda like Bart Simpson and Moe
SIGYN
I've never seen that but
BEX
you've never seen the Simpsons?
SIGYN
nope.
BEX
wow…ok. lol
SEBASTIAN
Okay.
*Takes out his phone and dials a random number*
Hey
baby, I'll give you $100 to let me shove my cock down your— hello? Oh, they
hung up.
LUCI
That's disappointing
BEX
TRENT
Who did you call?
SEBASTIAN
The coroner's office, apparently
CAT snickers softly
Good one….
TRENT
You should call Walmart next time. They're underpaid, they'll take
the money.
REBECCA giggles
SEBASTIAN
Xander, truth or dare?
XAN
Truth
SEBASTIAN
What really happened to that plane last night?
XAN chuckles
I almost crashed it, wanting to shut up a certain
celestial being, who shall remain nameless…I guess he got tired of me trying to
kill him cause next thing I know we are in Iowa, but the sun was so hot and it
made me smolder, and not in the good way, so I darted into the shadows before I
burned and drank—-well, it took me a while moving as fast as I do and stopping
for a drink every few miles to get back
SEBASTIAN smirks
Interesting…
XAN
Faustus….Truth or Dare…
FAUSTUS
Truth
XAN thinks a moment
Is it true you fell in love with Freya the second your eyes met hers or is that….just something you both say and if so, how does that even happen?
He had no idea how real love worked and was curious.
PIFFY
“Real love”? That’s infatuation.
PENRYN
Also, note that he's indicating he doesn't know how love works in front of his girlfriend.
BEX
brb Steve home and he brought dinner. hehe ♥ ♥ ♥
FAUSTUS
Hmm…. There was certainly a spark of interest the first time I
saw her, the way she carried herself, and heard the way she spoke. I felt an
undeniable pull towards her and a desire to protect her and help her blossom, a
desire mostly unknown to me. I didn't quite realize I was in love with her
until later when I was teaching her how to harness her magic.
Now… Let's see… George, truth or dare?
GEORGE
ummm…dare?
FAUSTUS
I dare you…to… kiss… a girl of your choice in this room, on the
lips.
GEORGE stutters a bit but nods and stands, walking over to Maze, he smirked and softly whispered
forgive me….
And then he kissed her! A good,
long, passionate kiss before pulling back and walking back to his place, blushing madly.
MAZE
Well, that was something.
Her reply made GEORGE blush all the more.
GEORGE
ummm…Trent…truth or
dare?
TRENT
Dare
GEORGE
I dare you to do a freestyle rap for the next minute about anything the comes to mind
*smirks*
TRENT
Freestyle…? I don't— uh… Okay, let me think
CAT
oh this should be good.
*smirks and sips her juice*
TRENT
Commit a crime, on a dime, when I can't find the words to rhyme
with these thoughts spitting in my head, I wish I was still in bed, my face is
red when I don't get the words you said a week ago, and I don't know, which way
does the wind… Um… Yeah, I can't do this.
NATE
Now if you'd asked him to recite a rap…
TRENT
Oh yeah, that's easy
REBECCA
that was good though babe. Good effort.
*smiles*
CAT
wow a lot better than I thought…good one
MAZE
Anyone notice he stopped at "blow"?
TRENT
Okay! Um, Rebecca. Truth or dare?
REBECCA
truth…
TRENT
Do you ever borrow my sweaters to sniff them?
REBECCA chuckles and nods
yes…I love the way you smell, Love. It
relaxes me in an odd way when you aren’t around
Maze….truth or Dare!
MAZE
That was a weirdly wholesome and fluffy ask. Okay, truth
REBECCA
if a genie granted you 3 wishes…what would you ask for?
MAZE
I can get just about anything I want without a genie's help, but
okay… Let's see…
1) Change the rules so I can be Queen of Hell.
LUCI
Maze, a genie can't do that. Only my father could do that.
MAZE
2) Hypnotic ability similar to Lucifer, but instead of bringing out
their desires, I just force them to tell me the truth about whatever I want to
know.
and 3) the ability to cure stupid phobias.
Trent, truth or dare.
TRENT
What? I just went, choose someone else.
MAZE
Fine. Chicken. Bawk bawk. Bawk bawk. Nate, truth or dare?
BEX
should I do Nate? Heheh
SIGYN
oh oops! Okay I guess so, just for this round
NATE
ummmm…truth
MAZE
Okay… If you had a chance for a threesome with Xander and me, would
you take it?
NATE tilts his head as he looks at the looming man and shook his head
I don’t think so…no.
BEX
awwww! This is so odd…he's not mine…but…also…yea…hahaha
MAZE
So you do have a sense of self preservation
SIGYN
alrighty, he's mine again 😛
NATE
at times
Okay,… I feel like we should call Greg or something so we've each got
six
But uh… Freya, truth or dare?
FREYA
truth…this time
NATE
What's your favorite thing about Faustus?
FREYA
ohhh…wow…that's a tough one because there are so many things I love about him. Hmmmm…
*thinks a moment as she looks up at him*
I guess…it would have to be that he believes in me. That he sees the "me" beneath the name. Not many people have or wanted to. That he makes me feel loved…every single day and is always there should I need him, for anything.
A
faint blush tinged her cheeks as her smile softened.
FAUSTUS smiles warmly at her
BEX
awww they are so cute! *explodes into glitter*
SIGYN
yeeee
Maze has one for Trent, but he wouldn't go until a few others have
gone XD she's gonna be a little shit-starter
am surprised George kissed Maze like that, also, that was fun
BEX
George is a little adventurous at times. Sure…let's kiss a demon and
see what happens. Hehehe
SIGYN
nice!
FREYA
hmmm…Bash…truth or dare?
SEBASTIAN
Dare.
FREYA
I dare you to…eat a large spoonful of the hottest hot sauce
Lucifer has in his club and see if you can keep it down for at least a minute.
Luci can help you cater if you need.
LUCI
Right, be right back.
*Disappears, returns with hot sauce*
(4:44 PM) SEBASTIAN measures out a tablespoon and drinks it like medicine
Ach…so strong….
CAT
He likes hot stuff, doesn't he?
*chuckles*
SEBASTIAN
I like you and Trent, so yes 😉
NATE makes a face
SEBASTIAN (4:46 PM)
Okay, it's been a minute. Rebecca, truth or
dare?
REBECCA
Truth
SEBASTIAN
What made you finally decide Trent was the one? And I ask this
with no malice, no ulterior motive. I genuinely want to know.
REBECCA's eyes looked between the two and sat up straighter
Because
I know in my heart that Trent did everything he did out of love for me, and it
was MY fault that I didn't see it at first. He is a kind, loving, gentle,
brilliant, understanding man and I love all he is and all he stands for. He was
always there for me, and that means a lot as well. He is the love of my life.
SEBASTIAN
Hmm.
TRENT 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love you, too, babygirl. Always have, and always will
REBECCA smiles over at Trent and kisses him gently
Ok…so…Lucifer…Truth
or dare?
LUCI
Hmm, dare. I'm feeling adventurous
REBECCA
I dare you to say something dirty to the person on your left.
LUCI whispers something to Bash that makes him blush
REBECCA
I meant to say out loud but ok.
*laughs*
[SNIP video exchange]
BEX
mommy and baby cuddles. Dawww! ❤❤❤❤
SIGYN
I love when he rests his tiny little head on me
BEX
it's the best! Rhett is stuffing his face at the moment. Lol
LUCI
You didn't specify. Alright… Xander, truth or dare?
XAN
Dare!
*chuckles*
LUCI
I dare you to kiss a man of your choice, with tongue
XAN makes a face but stands and looks around. Goes over to Nate and
kisses him soundly, but pulls back and smirks
NATE kisses back eagerly, and smiles contentedly when Xander pulls back
Why me?
XAN
Because you seemed interesting.
*chuckles*
PENRYN giggles
And you wonder why he has a crush on you, Xander.
XAN
Maze….Truth or dare?
MAZE
Dare 😉
XAN
I dare you to eat a banana without using your hands
MAZE
Fine.
*Goes to the fruit bowl, picks up a banana between her toes,
walks on her hands back to her seat, and uses her foot and mouth to get the
banana out of its peel and eat it*
TRENT
You should be in the circus
XAN's jaw drops, and his smile brightened considerably
MAZE smirks
Ah yes. Trent. Truth or dare?
TRENT
… Dare?
MAZE
Good choice.
*Her smirk widens*
I dare you to give Bash a blow job.
TRENT freezes for a second, then nods meekly, kneels between
Sebastian's legs, and unbuttons his fly
SEBASTIAN smiles and runs his hand through Trent's hair
Hey, baby…
NATE
Trent, no. You don't have to do this.
SEBASTIAN
Come on, Nate, don't be a party pooper.
PENRYN
While it's absolutely a party foul to dare someone to perform a sex act, the only explicit rule was, "No daring someone to tell the truth". Sebastian, you're a lawyer. You should have pointed that out. Of course, you're his best friend so you should also notice how uncomfortable he is about completing the dare.
TRENT looks from Maze to Nate to Bash, and then cups his mouth over
Bash and closes his eyes
SEBASTIAN
Mmmm, yes…. Perfect, Duckie. I love the feel of your mouth on
me ….
MAZE giggles
Okay, Trent, you can stop. I just wanted to see if you
would actually do it or if you'd chicken out.
TRENT pulls back, nods, wipes his mouth, and goes back to his seat, not
looking at anyone
SEBASTIAN tucks himself back into his fly
Oh, come on!
BEX
ohhhhhh shhhiiiiittttttt!
one sec….my Rebecca muse is SCREAMING! hahahaha! Ohhhhh! Don't react
that way girl….noo…be good. be good! 😛😛
SIGYN
like I said, Maze wanted to be a shit-starter
BEX
I honestly don't know how to react. hehehe. Me, personally, I'd be
furious…game or no game. Kissing is ok, but that…nope.
Rebecca is holding her glass so hard it broke when she saw Trent
actually do that! eep!
[SNIP audio message exchange]
REBECCA's eyes went wide, her grip became so tight on her glass that it actually BROKE, but she said nothing. Only her eyes gave away her anger, as she tried to swallow it down. It would have been different if it was Nate or even George, as they were a trimutive….but Bash was NONE of those things, to any of them. She glared at Maze and if her eyes could shoot fire she would have!
Of all the things to make Trent do, Maze…you had to pick that! Why?
Her voice was surprisingly calm which belied how she felt on the inside.
And don't say you were just curious.
But then she cuts her eyes back to Bash and she feels her anger rise just that much more.
And YOU….you should not have
agreed! Game or not, you know Trent has no intent or want to do that to you!
EVER!
BEX
hope that's ok…still mad, but not really at Trent…
Lucius is so calm and cute tonight! Rhett is having a meltdown. lol
he is so super tired, but bedtime isn't for another hour. Lol
MAZE giggles more at Rebecca's anger
SEBASTIAN
What's the problem, Rebecca? It's just a game. He could have
refused the dare, too, but he didn't.
TRENT
Is that an option?
MAZE
Not usually, but I would have accepted it. Like I said, I just
wanted to see if you would, or if you're a big ol chicken.
SIGYN
it's perfectly fine. Poor Rebecca
REBECCA had only felt anger like this ONCE…to where she literally wanted to murder someone much in the way Xander and Maze would. Slowly, harsh and if her looks could kill, both Bash and Maze would be dead!
Trent isn't a chicken, Maze, you know that, and it wasn't fair knowing that he didn't know he could refuse! YOU put him in a position to where you knew others would be furious…possibly with him at first till they realized he didn't understand.
She looks at Trent and her face softens.
I'm not mad at you, Love…don't worry.
But that murderous look returns the second she locks eyes on Bash again.
Just
a game? Just a game? Is Trent's feelings just a game to you?! You know how he
feels about you and yet you still continue to push. What's it going to take!
Smacking you around doesn't seem to work…should I ask Freya to brand it on your
FOREHEAD!!
FREYA
Whoa! Hey! I'm not in this…but that was kinda shitty.
SEBASTIAN, sharply
Trent didn't have a problem with it, he did it just
fine, so why are you making it a problem?
TRENT
She's right to be upset. With both of you. That was really
underhanded, Maze. Also, chickens are pretty vicious animals that'll fuck you
up if you come at them wrong.
That Trent stepped in, cooled REBECCA's anger, but only just.
REBECCA
Are.
You. That. BLIND!?
TRENT
and Bash, don't make her feel like she's unreasonable for being
mad about that. She doesn't like being made to feel forced into sharing me. You
know that.
SEBASTIAN
That's how I got the prescription.
*Waves his glasses
cheekily*
NATE
How many times you want to get punched today?
GEORGE
Yes! How many, because I have a severe itch into doing so!
REBECCA
Obviously, us hitting him doesn't beat any sense into him so what will?
*glances around*
He is being on purposely blind about Trent's
feelings, unless something has suddenly changed….
[SNIP picture exchange]
BEX
such a BIG BOY Lucius! ♥ ♥ ♥
SEBASTIAN
This has nothing to do with Trent's feelings. He completed a
dare. That's what's up. Stop trying to make this more than it is.
And stop acting like I'm the one that set the dare, because I didn't.
REBECCA had enough of arguing, she simply stood, and glared at Bash
You…are a sorry waste of skin and a horrible friend! You have no concept for what that is, and I don't have to watch or deal with it.
She turned on her
heel and stormed out.
BEX
well…she didn't hit him 😛
TRENT follows her
Rebecca, wait.
SEBASTIAN rolls his eyes and flops back down
GEORGE
You don't get it do you! Trent said NO! He said you were friends
ONLY and that he had no feelings for you in that way! A REAL friend would have
gotten that through his head by now and known that such a Dare was wrong…not
use it to their advantage!
TRENT
Rebecca, I understand why you're upset, and you have every right
to be. But, um… It's not that big a deal. It wasn't the most moral dare, but
for me, it was also just a game, and that's why I didn't have a problem going
through with it
SEBASTIAN
George, why don't you let him speak for himself? Or are you
jealous he wasn't doing that for you?
NATE
Actually, he did do that for George earlier today.
SEBASTIAN
Wow, okay. Join the club then, I guess.
REBECCA
No…you really don't….and I am not mad at you for it, Love,
honest I'm not. I'm mad at Bash. He knows better and knows it's alright to
refuse a dare or not. That he didn't and had you do so….I am sorry, Love, but a
real friend wouldn't do that after being told NO several times by someone they
claimed to care about. Bash keeps pushing…and he knows how you feel and that's
what makes it wrong.
TRENT
Oh… So you're not upset that I was doing that with someone besides
our agreed-upon partners?
GEORGE stands but it is Cat who catches his hand
CAT
George…No. Everyone’s blood it running a tad bit to high right now.
REBECCA
I am, a bit, but you also didn't know that you could refuse so
that makes my anger…void. If you knew you could have refused and did it
anyway then yes, I would be very mad at you.
PENRYN
Once again, that dare wasn't against the rules ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
TRENT
I wish I'd at least tried to turn it down, now.
*hugs her tight*
REBECCA hugs him back and squeezes him
I love you Trent…so, so much.
It makes me so mad when someone keeps trying to hurt you in some way. I would
do anything for you….
TRENT
Thank you, babygirl, but I'm not hurt by what Maze did or by Bash
not countermanding it. I'm worried about you. By all means, be upset for your
own sake, but I kind of figured we would get some weird dares… I'm not upset
about it.
REBECCA
There’s' a line, one does not cross even in such games as this…and that line was crossed.
*sighs softly*
It's not the game itself though love…it's….him! I get that you had some weird relationship in the past but NO means NO means NO…and not TRY HARDER.
*chuckles softly*
PENRYN
You expecting Maze, a demon, to know what that line is would be silly enough, but you're... blaming Sebastian for a dare that Maze set, and that's sillier.
NATE throws Bash a death glare and gently hugs George
Hey, sweetie. I
know things got a little intense with you and Trent earlier… um… is that the
first time anyone's ever safe-worded with you? Are you okay?
PENRYN
Is George okay? For being safeworded with? Are you off your bloody
fucking rocker?
TRENT
Oh, no, we were never in a relationship. We're friends 😁
And honestly, as much as I see your point, I can't blame him for going along
with the dare. Back before we got together, if we'd been involved in Truth or
Dare and someone had dared you to do that with me, I would have been ecstatic,
and I probably wouldn't have spoken up either, even after… we met later.
GEORGE cuddles up into Nates embrace and nods
yea…it was. I didn't really think I was going that hard or cutting that deep. I mean, you can take a lot and Trent said exactly the same, but I thought I held back a bit. Maybe we shouldn't use the magic when I top….I don't want to seriously hurt someone next time.
He didn't add that when 'instructed' while under glamor, something else
seemed to 'take over' and he had no intent nor want to stop, even with a
safeword.
REBECCA sighs softly and nuzzles him
well I don't like it. He is not
part of our group and I have no feelings towards him at all, nor does Nate or
George. I don't think it's fair that he keeps trying to weasel in when we all
know, Nate, George and me, know that Bash wishes we'd just disappear.
NATE strokes George's hair gently
You can use it when you top me, I
can handle it… but maybe just keep the fun toys locked away if Trent asks you
to top him again. He seemed okay after Luci healed him.
GEORGE
Yea…I guess. But I still hurt him enough to safe word.
*sighs softly and kisses Nate*
I love you….you know this, yes?
*smiles playfully*
TRENT's expression clouds over
But… I don't want him to disappear. And
he wasn't the one who asked me to do that, during the game, you know? I'm not
mad at him for it. And he knows none of you are going anywhere. I thought this
was resolved after…. But then Maze had to go and— she's the one I'm really mad
at, you know?
NATE
I love you too, and honestly, that's not difficult.
*Laughs*
He's
safe-worded with me, too. Apparently needle play is a hard limit.
BEX
net again…I card today for a new provider but have to wait till
tomorrow to get 'seen' bleh
SIGYN
aww that sucks
so, Nate is joking about the needles, but Trent has actually used a
safe word with him before
REBECCA
Ohhh don't worry, Love. I'm mad at her too! sighs softly again
She did that on purpose as well, knowing Bash wouldn't say no.
TRENT nods, frowning slightly
GEORGE
Really? So he safe worded with you too? that makes me feel a bit
better. Chuckles
BEX
sorry…yelling at AT&T right now. Lol
SIGYN
noooo problem boo I gotchu
REBECCA sighs and kisses Trent again
You do know we can't keep doing this though, yes? Something has to give, and I have no idea what that is yet….but I won't lose you. Ever.
*nuzzles him gently*
NATE
Yeah. I was joking about the needles, but the backs of his shoulders
are really sensitive, and he's good with being verbally dominated, and even
noncon play, but he doesn't like pain.
GEORGE
He doesn't? But he seemed to like it last night till——maybe it's just a lot of pain he doesn't like. Hmmm…
*chuckles softly*
TRENT
I don't want to lose anyone. I love you, and while I'm not there
with Bash I actually don't have a problem going down on him if it keeps him
mellow. Although I know that's not something you or Nathaniel wants for me
NATE
He's a strange guy, but don't worry too much about it. It's a
learning experience, and he obviously really likes you if he asked for you
specifically today
REBECCA
No, you're right, it isn't and if that is what you talked about earlier,
it sounds like manipulation to me. He seemed to…eager and then to…relaxed
after. Like he knew we could rail all we wanted, and you wouldn't say anything.
His smugness rubbed all of us the wrong way….I don't like it at all.
TRENT looks away
I know, and that's fair….um…do you want to go rejoin
the others or do you still need some space?
GEORGE nods and kisses Nate just under his chin
I felt special.
*chuckles*
He isn't really so bad…and I am glad he makes you happy, he does so
for me as well.
NATE
He does?
*Blink*
George, do you… like him?
REBECCA noted him looking away and tilted her head and sighed
I am
fine, for now…we can go back.
GEORGE shrugs and smirks a little
maybe I am starting to…?
TRENT nods and hugs her again before heading back
SEBASTIAN
Hey, duckie. Are you…?
TRENT
I'm fine.
SEBASTIAN
Did you—?
TRENT
We're good. She's upset about the dare.
SEBASTIAN
Yeah… Everyone else is mad about that too. I guess I should
have said something.
GEORGE
Ya think?!
His voice is actually still deep as he glares but he turns his attention to Trent and kisses his cheek when he comes back.
You sure
you're ok? (he whispers to him)
REBECCA takes her seat by Trent and settles back in her seat, trying to
relax
TRENT
I'm fine. He um… He didn't set the dare, and I don't have a
problem doing that with him if it keeps him calm, but Rebecca really isn't happy,
and I can't put more strain on her or on you and Nate by asking to add him… I
don't want him to leave either… I don't know what I'm going to do.
BEX
trying something they suggested if this doesn’t work imm call that other
provider back tomorrow. Lol
GEORGE
problem keeping him calm? What?! (asks in a soft but shocked voice as he looked at Bash)
what kind on nonsense did you feed Trent now? You don’t
need Trent to do shit for you to keep you calm or mellow you….!!!
MAZE smirks
Oh, "Duckie…"
TRENT looks reflexively round at the familiar nickname, then frowns
MAZE, still smirking
You don't have to act so ashamed of it, you know. If you
liked tasting him. You can just tell us.
TRENT
Mind your business, Mazikeen. You've done enough.
GEORGE
say that nickname…just once, like that and not even Lucifer will be able to save you.
He was REALLY getting pissed and for a mild, mannered
person such as George to get really angry…well…it was unnatural.
MAZE
No one can save me, I'm a demon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
GEORGE
exactly my point….
CAT
I think we really need to all just calm down a moment
MAZE
Yeah, sure, calm down. Makes no difference to me, but am I the only
one here who noticed Trent had the exact same look on his face after he came
back from his "talk" with Sebastian as he does now? Like he feels
guilty about something?
FREYA
I'm glad this isn't us… (whispers softly to Faustus)
they argue
almost every day…how do they even keep going?
FAUSTUS
Haven't a clue, and wouldn't want one besides
REBECCA
no I've noticed it too…but I have no desire to start another
fight
GEORGE
we already fighting….so let's get it all out there then…
MAZE's smirk widens
Well, "Georgie", the good news is that
Bash didn't tell Trent to do anything to keep him mellow. In fact, he didn't say
much of anything. Demon hearing. But Bash sure did look calm when he came back.
Hmm. Wonder why that is.
all (Bex-side) eyes turn as one to both Trent and Bash
REBECCA
you didn't……? (she asks softly)
ohhhhh love….please tell me you
didn't?
GEORGE
or that he didn't…?
MAZE
That's what you wanted George for, isn't it? To wash out the taste?
CAT's eyes go wide as it clicks
No… (whispers)
GEORGE shakes head
it's not true….is it?
REBECCA
Trent…?
Her voice is so soft.
TRENT, avoiding eye contact with anyone
Stop, Mazikeen. Why do you even
care? None of this has anything to do with you.
CAT
because the truth should matter…to all concerned.
PIFFY
IT IS NOT "WITHOLDING INFORMATION" WHEN THE INFORMATION IS PERSONAL AND NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
XAN
We all live with each other. We each hurt when the others do so…
He
is loath to admit it.
REBECCA
Babe…? Please…?
GEORGE looks up at Nate and then back at Trent
Tell me it's not true….
TRENT
… I really don't want to talk about uncomfortable things or fight
anymore
That was all the answer Rebecca needed as she shook her head,
stood and retreated, muttering "No…No…No…" under her breath the
entire way.
GEORGE
So you…and then you…with me! How could you do that? (he asks, hurt)
I am not a tool to make you feel better about yourself…
He trails off and glares again at Bash who seems so smug, and it flips a switch inside him. a VERY dangerous one.
Nate….can you help me, please, Love? You might need a few
of Lucifer's feathers for after…
PENRYN
Yeah, how DARE Trent want to engage in consensual sex after feeling coerced into it with someone else? Ugh, he's honestly the worst.
PIFFY
wow George okay you're a huge jackass
ERNEST
Did he just ew to comfort sex?
CAT
Wow! Yea…great one the three of you. awesome!
*gets up and follows Rebecca, noting she hadn't just headed to a room but left completely*
Someone
has to follow her…it's dark out there.
TRENT
George, it isn't like that
GEORGE has to bite his lip to keep from raging.
NATE!!!??
He poses it
as a question as he walks away. He needs to release and has never felt this way
before. So angry and hurt that he literally wanted to tear Bash slowly apart, one screaming inch at a time.
PENRYN
Meanwhile, now George is trying to force Nate into a scene with him, implying the injuries would be so bad Nate would need angelic intervention, to comfort himself because he's angry about Trent using him for comfort sex.
DESMODA
You're not supposed to Dom when you're angry.
AVERNA
I'm taking this moment to stroke my own ego for having self-awareness. Not the moral high ground, just self-awareness.
DESMODA
Word.
XAN has a time trying to keep his fangs from showing. Everyone’s tempers flaring and then storming off….but he managed
Easy George…
PENRYN
Why does everything have to be about Rebecca's and George's feelings? Did they get sexually assaulted today?
TRENT grabs George's arm
Hey. I really do like you, okay, and I… I should have thought how you'd feel about …. I'm sorry. It was stupid and selfish of me. So… Bash and I went outside to talk. He sat down and I sat next to him… He um… My head went in his lap and he… God, I am so sorry, I am so, so sorry—!
Tears stream down his face.
MAZE goes after Cat
GEORGE
You should have thought how I felt, or how Nate or Rebecca would feel. We love you, Trent…all three of us. But this can't happen anymore. I can't speak for the other two, but I won't be used in any way, and that's how I feel. I thought you honestly wanted me to make love to you and that's what I did…granted we used the power together, which was still great…
*shakes head*
but that wasn't what happened…was it? Not this time, not really. Using me to forget…is as bad as hitting someone in anger.
PENRYN
What about you trying to use Nathaniel in anger? Where does that rate on your little self-serving morality scale?
GEORGE sighs deep in his chest
This is what Bash wants…can't you see that? He wants us to fight, so we leave each other alone so he can move in when you are most vulnerable, and I—I almost forgot that for a second there. I don't like him…because of this…
He moves to wipe away Trent's tears gently and kisses his cheek.
It's horrible…to all concerned and he doesn't seem to care.
PIFFY
it feels like they want Bash to be their scapegoat for everything
GEORGE shakes head
Trent…Nate asked me earlier if I had feelings for you…and I answered that I was starting to….but I want what we build together to be REAL and not because you need any one of us to help you forget…
Hearing that George loved him stunned Trent, but George had
misunderstood something.
TRENT
Georgie, no, I did want you. I did want to make love to you… A little
bit of that may have been as a palate cleanser, yes, but I would never, ever screw you just for the sake of it. I … I don't know if I love you, but I do
really like you
REBECCA had settled in the park, a few miles away from the house, just to cry and vent a little away from the others. When she sensed Cat first
Go
AWAY, Cat!
CAT
Nope… (says softly as she sits down beside Rebecca and nudges her)
You wouldn't leave me when I felt bad…not gonna leave you.
REBECCA sniffs
You really are your brother, you know that? hardheaded
and stubborn
CAT
Thanks…
*sighs*
He broke down you, know? He's upset.
REBECCA
GOOD! He should be!
CAT
Hey…now I know that's not you, Rebecca. (says gently)
I know you're
upset too, because he…did something without thinking…again, and you consider it
a weird form of cheating cause it isn't in your group…but the man LOVES you.
ok? Trent LOVES YOU!
REBECCA
I KNOW! And I love him…that's why I am so MAD at him right now.
He knows how I felt about adding Nate to our mix, how much I fought it and I
love Nate…why would he do something like that…with Bash! when they are 'just
friends'?
CAT sighs
You know how he is…calm…talk to each other.
REBECCA
He won't understand…
CAT
yes, he will….eventually.
*nudges her again*
Come on…it's getting chilly.
*pauses as she senses Maze and looks up at her*
Maze…now isn't a good
time.
GEORGE
Then stop hurting us….me… (says softly)
Inadvertently or not…stop. because we can't keep constantly fighting. It ages you and I will not grey before my time.
He cracked his lips a bit to show he was joking a little.
Trying to lighten the mood a bit.
PENRYN
Harry Potter and the Audacity of This Bitch. Who was hurt today, really? Because I don't think it was you, George.
MAZE
Hey, I just want to make sure you guys get home safe. About Trent…
I shouldn't have pushed about that. I didn't realize he didn't consent to
anything.
TRENT
How can I not hurt you if I don't understand if I'm hurting you?
Maybe I'm the one who should go…
REBECCA looks up at Maze and wipes her eyes
I'm fine…
*stands and wipes her hands off on her pants*
wait…what do you mean he didn't consent to
'anything'?
MAZE
Oh, Bash forced him to give him a blow job earlier when they were
"talking", in the hall.
GEORGE
Don't you say that, Trent! No!
*shakes his head and pulls the man literally into a bear hug*
I don't want you to go anywhere, and neither does
Rebecca or Nate! That…would kill us….please don't think that. We love you…and I…am
starting to fall for you too….
REBECCA
WHAT!!!???? (shouted so loud it echoed around them like an aftershock)
TRENT
I'm s-sorry… I just don't know what to do! It's like everything I
do is wrong and hurts someone.
MAZE
Yeah… Sorry, I thought Trent was cheating and tried to call him out
on it.
REBECCA looks at Maze
can you…poof me back there or something? Cat
too?
MAZE
Yeah, okay.
*Teleports with them*
CAT
maybe have Lucifer send him to that weird place Faustus sent Xander for a while…Bash…not Trent. Awww!
*is whisked away with them both*
REBECCA poofs back in with Maze and Cat and rushes to Trent's side
I'm sorry love…I am so sorry, for storming out. I didn't know what had happened…and needed a moment.
She raised her eyes to Bash.
YOU!
Her voice was low but fierce.
You weren't talking out in that hallway…you forced Trent to do it, didn't you?
GEORGE
What?
*pulls back to make room for Rebecca and his eyes furrow at
Bash*
TRENT
Georgie, I just explained that…
GEORGE
Lucifer….banish this filth for a few hours please? maybe to EBBY
DEBBY! No one forces anyone to do things against their will…
BEX
*laughs* oh gosh…hahahaha
SEBASTIAN
No, please— Look, I know what I did was wrong, okay, but—
look, please don't send me away.
REBECCA
A few hours is better than a week there….You deserve so much
worse. Be glad I don't ask for it.
GEORGE
While you are there, let it sink in, what your actions wrought.
It's only a few hours and not all night.
TRENT looks torn
NATE
Trent, I think you should let him go
REBECCA
He hurt you, Love. What he did to you wasn't right…and he has to learn that. (says softly)
It's only for a few hours.
TRENT
I'm sorry, Bash, but they're right…
LUCI nods and banishes him
REBECCA
Things will be alright, my love. They always work out and we all
love you.
PENRYN
Not as much as you love your own bloody egos.
SERLEINA
DIIIIIID SOMEBODY SAY "BLOOD EAGLE"?
PENRYN
Oh, don't tempt me.
GEORGE
Aye, I do…starting to…I really like you too!
*blushes a bit*
TRENT nuzzles Rebecca and then cups George's face and looks into his eyes, green searching brown
Can I kiss you?
GEORGE nods as he looks into Trent's eyes
Yes, Trent…
TRENT, with a soft moan, leans forward and captures George's lips with his in a tender, yet passionate kiss
Mmmmm……
When Trent kissed him, George felt himself melt a little into
him. he raised his hands and lightly caressed his face and kissed him back,
nipping lightly at his lower lip.
TRENT moans and deepens the kiss, practically climbing on top of George, though mindful to make sure he does not start glowing.
TRENT slowly, reluctantly breaks the kiss and pulls back
Now do you
see? I do really like you, Georgie 🥰
GEORGE was a bit surprised by Trent's actions but molded himself to Trent's body when the other man climbed on him, only pulling back at hearing Nate clearing his throat
Sorry…Nate… (he said, gasping a little in excitement as he turns an almost shy smile to Trent)
Yea…I see….I really so like you too,
Trent. 🥰😘
NATE smiles fondly
I'm glad my boys are getting along. Now can I have
a kiss?
GEORGE
Of course you can!
*turns and kisses Nate deeply, and passionately*
I love you! More than anything.
CAT
glad things are back to normal…for now.
*chuckles and goes to sit
back in her seat*
NATE kisses him back with equal passion
I love you too, my sweet,
perfect boy
TRENT also kisses Nate
And I love you, sexy darling
NATE
I love you too, Trenty 🥰
MAZE
Sorry about starting that fight earlier, you guys. I completely
misread the situation.
REBECCA smiles at her boys and cuddles them all close as she gives Trent and Nate a deep kiss, before kissing George lightly on his cheek
You guys mean everything to me…I love you so much!
She looked over at Maze and nods.
Forgiven…
GEORGE looks over at Maze
You were worried…in some way…about Trent and us so….thanks. Just next time, whole story before one or all of us loses our heads.
*chuckles*
MAZE
Yep, understood. Xan, you wanna get out of here?
XAN
Be my pleasure.
He stands and nods.
Everyone…goodnight.
/exit Xander and Maze
TRENT pulls her into his lap and kisses her again, running his hand up
her back, more or less chastely
REBECCA curls up into Trent's embrace and nuzzles him gently. Her arms around his neck
Don't worry about it anymore, my love. We will get through this as we
have everything else…together.
TRENT sighs
I don't know, Rebecca. It seemed like you were really quick
to believe I had cheated. You left before I … I mean, I didn't want to explain,
but then George was going to leave too
*looks so, so lost*
Now you guys talked Lucifer into banishing Sebastian
and… I just… I feel so alone…
NATE
Hey…
*Cradles Trent*
You're not alone, you know that.
REBECCA
Honestly, I just saw red for a moment, and I walked out so I didn't act, say or do anything that I would regret later. I know my temper, Trent. You know my temper. I didn't want to blow up and cause a scene on the wrong person…which would have happened had I not gone to clear my head for a moment. I trust and love you, Trent. I don't want to do anything that will ever hurt you again, and I know my reactions come off a little harsh…
CAT interrupts
A little?
*sees the look Rebecca gives her and smirks*
Sorry…
REBECCA
You aren't alone…you have Nate, You have me, You have George…we are your lovers and your fiancé. You have your sister, Cat who loves you in her own way…and everyone else here loves and cares for you too…even Freya and the Priest…in their own weird way.
*rubs her fingers lightly through her Beloved's hair as Nate holds him*
You aren't alone….Never, ever.
TRENT
I know, and I know what I'm feeling isn't rational. I just feel
like I've betrayed him, like I've turned my back on him somehow.
GEORGE
But that's the opposite of what you should be feeling, Trenty. You didn't do anything wrong. He did.
*sighs but understand as he too joins
the cuddle pile*
TRENT blinks slightly at the nickname coming from George but doesn't protest
Did he, though? I should have— have seen him earlier. All the time
I've been obsessing over Rebecca, it must have killed him to hear me constantly
talking about her, wondering how I was going to finally be with her, planning
for that day, and— and all that time… I mean, he probably did sabotage me a
little, and that wasn't cool, but to think that I could have made him feel the
same way I felt when… Or, or the way you felt when you had to hear Nate talking
about others. I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone, especially not my best
friend!
GEORGE
that is not your responsibility though, Trent. Not to him. Not to
anyone. Bash is a grown adult and if he can't accept that his time has passed
and let you be happy and be happy for you…even if it is pretend…because I have
been there myself, then he doesn't really care as much as he says he does. You
are not responsible for his actions nor his feelings. I get that is part of why
you and Nate are so close cause you 'made' him bond with you by accident, but
Bash hasn't bonded with you by accident or have you made him. That was purely
his choice, and as a friend, he should respect that your choice was a no, and
it came with boundaries. That he didn't shows an issue with him…not you and it
is not your job to 'fix' him…or anyone else.
TRENT
My job? Of course it's not my job. A job is something you're
obligated to do for someone else. This is… I can't stand to see him in pain.
And I don't want him to leave, either. And it's not that I feel nothing for
him. I turned him down for Rebecca's sake. She's already doing so much,
accepting Nathaniel and…. I can't ask this of her, because I can't stand to
hurt her, either. At least he also likes my sister so it's not like he has no
one to be interested in besides me, but… This situation sucks.
CAT
of course it sucks, because he won't take No for an answer. (says gently)
This is not your fault, Trent. He has no one else to blame but himself.
He taught you that 'friends' laid together in bed, cuddled. He taught you that
'friends' fed each other all romantically and so many other things…as friends,
not partners. His fault. Not yours. If you said No and meant it, then you stick
to it and don't let him force you to do anything you don't want to do. no
matter what he says or does.
TRENT
Can we let him out so I can talk to him please? Not privately this
time… But I also don't want him to feel cornered or trapped, so please, don't
gang up on him
GEORGE looked to Rebecca and raised his eyebrows slightly. He was smart enough to know she was 'alpha' over him
Rebecca?
PENRYN
Excuse me, what the fuck? The Alpha dynamic is only a thing with animals in captivity, George and Rebecca certainly don't have that dynamic, and George would never think of Rebecca as having authority over him except maybe as a senior partner at their firm.
REBECCA nods
Fine…
She looks around for Luci.
Luci…can you please?
LUCI summons Bash back
TRENT
Sebastian…
*Takes both his hands gently, trying to ground him, as he's done with Nathaniel in the past*
You know how much you mean to me. I meant
it when I said I didn't want you to go back home, and it tears me apart inside
to have to see you so heartbroken… I know you're acting out from a place of
pain, and I remember how it feels to be going what you're going through. But
you really should have told me explicitly how you felt back in school. You
should have told me how much our date would mean to you, begged me not to
cancel it, or— or something! I can't do anything for you right now. The woman
of my dreams has finally accepted me, and I'm already putting a lot of stress
on her by asking to keep Nathaniel—
SEBASTIAN
I told you, I don't mind that you're with Rebecca. That
doesn't bother me— much. And you're right. I should have spoken up sooner. I
should have told you in no uncertain terms that I've loved you since before I
even understood the concept of love. I should have told you what I meant when I
said I would always be here for you even if she wasn't. I should have told
you that there were times that things got dark
He pulls one hand out of Trent's grasp unconsciously and clutches his forearm.
and that I didn't see the light again until I saw you or heard your
voice. I should not have forced myself on you earlier. You were right, it
didn't fix anything. It just made me want you more. You're my everything,
Trent. I don't mean that in a manipulative way. And I'm not trying to tear you
away from everyone else and take their place. I know I could never… I'm not
even one whole person, how could I take the place of three?
TRENT
Bash…
SEBASTIAN
Sometimes, though, I see you with your happy little harem and
I just… react. Without thinking. And now they all think I'm this horrible
person, and… Maybe I am? I honestly can't tell anymore. All I know is that my
life isn't — I can't— you mean a lot to me, okay?
TRENT
Bash, of course you're a whole person! And you mean a lot to me,
too! You're smart and funny and you can be really sweet and supportive. I just
can't have you doing mean things anymore, okay? I can't have you straining my
relationship now that I finally am in it. I can't explain why I saw Nathaniel
and not you, okay, I wish I could. I wish we could go back in time and see what
there could be between us, but… Look, you like Cat, right? She's a sweet girl
and she needs someone strong to take care of her, like you.
CAT peeks up at her name and looks around, wondering how she got dragged into this, but she had to admit that she did like Bash
It means a lot
that you are here, Bash. You helped me the other night, right? Comforted me
when I was scared. That means a lot. More than you know, having someone who
would do that for me. I—I really like you, Bash.
Rebecca & George are both listening to what was said and while George might 'forgive and
forget' to keep the peace, it would take a bit longer for Rebecca to do so. But
again, she had promised to try and as long as the parameters were kept and held
to, she had no issues with the men being friends. She really didn't have any
issues with Bash except the fact that he wouldn't take no for an answer, but
that could be resolved…or so she hoped.
NATE frowns; he had noticed Bash grab his wrist
Hey, Bash, do you need
us to call someone for you? Are you safe?
SEBASTIAN immediately shuts down, refusing to speak
REBECCA
Are you alright?
Her eyebrow furrowed a bit as she heard Nate's
words.
CAT
Man, where is Xander when you need him?
AVERNA
If you want him dead that bad, stop being coy and kill him yourself.
PENRYN
She won't, because he was brought in as a potential love interest for her.
AVERNA
Weak.
BEX
I just found this artist…this song is kinda sad…but it's atheistically
pleasing.
TRENT snaps
That's not funny, Catherine. Nathaniel, no, don't call
anyone.
*With a gentler tone, taking his hand again*
Bash? Hey, look at me.
SEBASTIAN
It was… a while ago. Not today. I'm fine.
TRENT nods and scoots close to him, wrapping his arms around him
Never
again. Please?
CAT
I meant only that he could sense if Bash had hurt himself…
BEX
Midnight (Central) cut-off
Next!
