[quote=@ViolentViolet] [hr] [center] Damian Luv Cafe [/center] Damian could see Jack’s gaze falling as he looked back and the goth raised an eyebrow at him, the corner of his mouth turning up in a hint of a smirk as he looked forward again, shoving one of his hands back in his pocket as he walked, shoulders back and his chin high; he refused to allow others disdain affect him as greatly as it once had. He’d gotten one of the hottest guys on campus as a match and he was going to be proud of that and make the man proud, even if it was just by cooking a fantastic meal for him after work or being the loudest of his cheer leaders at a swim meet in the summer months of the school year. Even if he had to start letting people see or hear him, then he would make this man proud to have been matched with him instead of the last that had run for a new match as soon as he’d seen the boy dressed in such dark attire. Often dressing as he did earned him strange looks and others tended to judge him based on it and few ever got the chance to meet the boy beneath who loved to cook and cuddle, to write and read, to sing and play his music. He felt the mans’ hand slips around his, interlocking fingers quickly as if he would not be denied this little thing and the smaller boy laughed quietly at the shyness in that action; he would have thought Jack would be more bold and out there when dealing with the obviously more shy homosexual. The young man seemed as nervous as Damian felt by the way he spoke, going on tangents and rambling every time something caught his attention and he laughed quietly when Jack mentioned his lack of ability in the kitchen and he nudged the man with his shoulder playfully. [color=bc8dbf]“It’s a good thing I’m a fine chef then.”[/color] He said flashing him a smile on lips painted a deep purple, once again setting off his clear blue eyes with the darkness of the makeup. [color=bc8dbf]“I must say though, pastries have always been more fun for me.”[/color] Then Jack asked about the tattoo and his smile faltered for a moment before he was able to adjust and fix the smile on his face, and shrug as they got closer to the café. [color=bc8dbf]“I’ll tell you once we’re inside okay?” [/color]Damian looked away then, his gaze focusing on the walk ahead of them until the two approached the café and saw the ambulance outside and several police officers questioning witnesses while boys were carried out on stretchers, each one unconscious with a burn mark on their face as if they had been touched by a very hot phone before collapsing. Electrocution, Damian could tell by looking at their hands as well and knew that something had happened before the two had arrived this afternoon and while the younger of the boys was undaunted he looked up at his match to see if he had a problem with going inside still. [color=bc8dbf]“We can go somewhere else if this bothers you?”[/color] Damian wasn’t sure what would bother Jack, though he hoped that it wasn’t something as simple as this, the freak accident they had walked in on and the café was clearly still open and running like normal from the people who sat inside. He could see Claudia Desmond at a booth facing the door with the Quick twins; the two she had been matched with and he almost felt sorry for the poor girl. She was so sure that it was better she wasn’t matched, but he knew that it would be good for her to have a couple other than him doting on her all the time. [color=bc8dbf]“I’ll still tell you, so you don’t have to worry about that.” [/color] [/quote] Jack Thomas Cafe Jack had to laugh when Damien said he could cook. That was more important to Jack than anything. He did not just want a pretty face to smile at him. He wanted someone who could help him, to show him things that he did not know anything about, or someone who would just take him as he was. That was definitely not as easy as it looked and Jack definitely did not want Damien to see him one of those moods. He usually got really bad and things would get ugly as all hell if he was like this. He was worried that Damien would see behind the mask and hate what he saw there. Jack usually was not the type to just kiss a guy on his first meeting but part of him wanted to do so right now. Course Jack did not try to anything to crazy since he knew that Damien did not like to be pushed at all so Jack stayed quiet. "[color=0054a6]Alright. I am gonna hold you to that, Dami.[/color]" He said using a new nickname for Damien. He thought that it would be a nice thing for the two of them. He tried to look over the crowd and then back at Damien. "[color=0054a6]It takes a lot to scare me or force me away from something. I say we just go in and get that drink. You owe me a story about the tat.[/color]" He joked as he looked around the cafe. He had no idea what was going on and did not want to try and figure it out. He just wanted to talk to Damien more than anything. [quote=@ScarlettWaters16] [color=lightblue]Eliza Brindelwood[/color] Garden Eliza couldn't think of anything else to say or do, so she hugged him extremely hard and was nearly bawling into his shoulder. She took a deep breath before drawing away and she rested her hands on her knees, smiling down at them. "Neither of us may not be very good at this, but it seems like we're getting better," she murmured to him before standing up. "Why don't we go down to the pool? I want to go swimming! I was actually planning on it before I got the call this morning, which is one of the reasons why I have a swimsuit on under my stuff..." She pulled down the top of her shirt slightly, exposing the top of a bright pink bikini strap and she jumped around excitedly. "Come on. It'll be fun!" She grabbed his hand and tried to pull him to his feet. [/quote] Oliver looked over at Eliza as she cried and hugged him. He tried to stay calm and in control in a situation like this. he was not doing all that well right now. Course he managed to stay calm even though he was having issues. "Well I don't have have my swim suit but I could always just use my underwear." He said as she pulled him to his feet. "Lead the way! This could be exciting." He said as they walked to the pool. Once they were there, Oliver quickly pulled his shirt and pants off. He did not seem to think anything different about just doing that infront of someone he barely knew. He dove into the pool and looked up at Eliza. "Come on in! It is great right now!" He said treading water looking at her.
