BIO
past
raised by a wild spirit who met dionysus on a spree through california vineyards, duke grew up just as carefree as his mom. maybe because of that he had to raise himself for the most part, but heâs made it this far just fine, yâknow? he was a high school dropout when he found nl, trying to make it on his own and doing his best despite the struggles.
present
listen. heâs just some guy. thanks to nemean, he was able to get his ged but to this day he still wonât finish college, not for lack of trying. he gets by just fine though and he currently tends at a local bar, and occasionally serves drinks for nl parties. if heâs not working a party, though, heâs definitely in the middle of the largest crowd â with his powers, every party is a guaranteed rager. besides going crazy going wild, he just loves life, you get me? he will always see the bright side and being around other people makes him so happy that he falls in love at least once a week.

âthanks for the heads up, the very last thing i want to do is contribute to making a man feel special,â ariel responds without any real heat behind it, which is alarming because her default setting of exclusively being rude to jae feels like a thing of the past. and itâs silly, that sheâs had this realization approximately seventy times during this one conversation when any normal person would just accept it and stop⌠wishing to be mean. âiâll admit nothing to you but certainly not a lie.â she has great taste, itâs why she dislikes herself so much. âand that doesnât inspire you to change in any way?â she wouldnât expect it to, of course. itâs not as if she ever allows herself any meaningful development as a person. âwe could,â she says in agreement, no hint as to whether the idea is appealing to her. ariel feels a bit⌠lost is too strong of a word but indecisive is too weak. theyâre exploring something new, the concept of doing something mindless that apparently doesnât involve their bodies. âwhat do you do when youâre not pestering me?â
âdonât tell me you talk to all the boys like that. and here i was thinking i must be your favorite.â jae doesnât make it a habit to pay attention to anyone ariel talks to beside himself, but he canât say heâs ever noticed her give very many people the time of day as it is. he has to be her favorite by default of mere persistence at this point. he snorts. âand risk turning into a bore? iâll pass. besides, you seem pretty partial to the way i am now. iâd hate to ruin your fun.â in any case, heâd rather be interesting than introspective. the last time jae had looked too deeply inside, heâd nearly given up on everything completely. itâs simply better to ignore any criticisms against his character, outside or otherwise, and just... continue to be. he raises a brow. that isnât really an answer. âthink of new ways to pester you,â he teases, poking her side, then takes a beat to consider. âwork. scroll through fashion accounts on my phone. pester everyone else. work again. what about you? what do you do when youâre not busy brooding in your office?â

âThey did not.â Just like Juniper, he let the snowball to hit him, the impact not as hard as what hit the demigod behind him. Though, honestly, if she had thrown it with all her strength, Narumi wouldâve been able to take it. âIâll look like this,â he said, gesturing to his chest covered with a few specks of snow. âAlso, you can see me getting hit.âÂ
âIf you say so!â Sheâd just have to let Narumi have this one for now. That kid definitely tripped or whatever... but to each their own. Juni watched the snowball burst as it hit him but it wasnât nearly as satisfying a throw as the last one. âDoesnât it feel too easy, though? Not much of a snowball fight if weâre just using kiddie gloves the whole time. Howâre we supposed to get our blood pumpinâ, yâknow?â
âJuniperââ he starts, but he knows thereâs no good way to finish his sentence. Thereâs no good way to tell her they had their reasons, however much they backfired, nor does it seem like she can hear that regardless, if if they hadnât blocked her powers that night, there would have been nothing she alone could do. Peter hates the feeling stuck in his throat now, the choking sensation that came along with the reminder of how much he had failed her and everyone else. It had been a hard year, hard to get up in the morning and believe in the path he was on after all of this. But none of it was Juniperâs fault or burden, so all he can do is swallow his words and nod. âRight. Thanks for the heads up,â he tells her, and continues on.
âPeter,â she lobs back, smile returning, âLighten up, man. Itâs not that serious.â As unhappy as she still is, there is nothing Juniper can handle less than a sour mood so she rallies her pep back into step and slaps Peter on the shoulder. âHey, youâre still everyoneâs favorite staff member, yâknow but maybe take it easy today. Itâs the holidays. Even you deserve a break, right?â
âNone at all.â Even if ze did like someone, ze wouldnât tell that to Lillian. Minzhe didnât even know her. âIâm telling you that there isnât anyone. I donât mind just⌠kissing you,â ze said. âHonestly, I should be asking if youâre fine being stuck with me.â A complete stranger.Â
âToo good for what NL has to offer, or just not a fan of kissing in general?â Now sheâs just curious. Lillian gets being cagey about personal interests, but maybe ze doesnât even like people like that? She gave Minzhe a look and shrugged lightly. âWhy wouldnât I be fine? Is there something wrong with you?â

cynthiaâs pout forms into a full blown scowl when she realizes jaeâs deflecting. nothing new, but doesnât fail to surprise her. âitâd have to be dia, no? daphne or peter probably contributed in some way if i were to guess.â from the few times sheâs seen the three of them in passing, she chalks it up to the event lead to stir the pot in some way. then thereâs that annoying grin. thatâs the jae she knows, having a blast at her expense. as much as she wants to wipe that damn smirk off his face, heâll carry on as long as sheâs visibly distressed. just because theyâve recently reconciled doesnât mean she doesnât have any cards up her sleeve. thatâs why rather than wriggling in his grip, she grasps onto his other forearm, maintaining her composure and their closeness, if not inching imperceptibly closer. âwhoa, youâre a little eager there. did you want this that badly, hm?â
âIf not Dia herself, she at least definitely knows these are up, and she either helped or willingly looked the other way.â There is a moment where he considers pulling back on the teasing, when he senses how genuinely agitated Cynthia is â which, first of all, ouch, is he really that gross? But then Jae notes the glint in her eyes and he only has half a breath to realize he might be in trouble before sheâs already moving. Whatever she thinks sheâs trying to pull, itâs effective as his eyes widen in shock and his smile doesn't so much as fall as it shrinks into something warier. Leave it to Cynthia to see a challenge where there wasn't one. But now that she's thrown down her glove, he can't exactly back down now, can he? And itâs not like he can tell her that heâs already figured out his own loophole. That would be too easy an answer for someone whoâd rather win, but he canât let her have that, either. He leans into the touch, gaze sharp and curious. âYouâre one to talk. The lady doth protest too much, donât you think? What are you so afraid of?â
Narumi chuckled nervously, furniture integrity? How strange for Jae to say that during this very moment. While he didnât understand why Jae asked about his table, he knew for certain that it had nothing to do with furniture integrity. Following Jaeâs movement, the back of Narumiâs legs hit the edge of the table, eyebrows raised by the action until it finally hit him. Oh, was that⌠was Jae asking about his table because ofâ he didnât know what to say or how to react. You know, other than his usual air of silence and stiff movement. He had to do something different, something unusual that matched the unusualness of this very gift. He breathed in and then breathed out, hoping to settle his hammering heart ( though to no avail ) as he let Jaeâs words sink into his brain. What do you propose I do with my gift? Gods, he wished he knew what to say. No, scratch that, Narumi did know what to say, it was getting the words out that was the problem. Being honest about what he wanted, especially to the person he had romantic feelings for. It was difficult, for a young man who has never been in this situation, Narumi didnât feel like a twenty-four year old man but a twelve year old pre-teen dealing with a crush for the first time. He felt small, embarrassed, and very much unsure of how to go about this situation. This is ridiculous, he thought to himself, frowning at the fact that he was still radio silent. Only for some seconds! While only seconds have gone by, it still frustrated Narumi because this wasnât like him. He always had a response, whether it was a few words or a gesture, he was always ready with a speedy response. But not here, not before Jae as he presented him with an unusual gift.Â
Then do something that was equally unusual.Â
And it dawned on him, what he needed to do. Reaching forward, Narumi grabbed the front of Jaeâs shirt, pulling the other closer to him for a kiss. It was soft and lasted for some seconds. The same length of time it took for Narumi to come up with an answer. Pulling away, Narumi said, âWhatever your heart desires, itâs your gift.â And went right back to kissing him.Â
There was a charged silence after Jae got them moving that he didnât particularly mind. Though he had expected more of a reaction, if not some kind of answer, Jae could see that Narumi was clearly working his way there. Heâd known Narumi long enough to be patient. What he hadnât expected, however, once the deer-in-headlights look staring back at him shuttered as he reached a conclusion, was the swift action that followed next. Jae made a small noise of surprise, more exhale than anything. This was perhaps the side of him Jae liked the most. That Narumi could still find ways to catch him off-guard like this with such a gentle vigor made him smile into the kiss. âMy heart, huh?â It wasnât really the organ he paid much attention to and definitely not the one in charge right now, especially as he was pulled right back in. At least this time, Jae was ready for it. He surged forward to meet Narumi head on and leaned forward fully over the table, hand trailing down the pretty arch of his back to hold him there at the small of it. âIâve got a few ideas on what Iâd like to do with my gift,â he breathed hotly into the curve of Narumiâs jaw, once he finally came back up for air. âBut you might want to order dinner now before you work up an appetite.â Though Jae wasnât planning on making that easy for him. He made absolutely no move to release him and instead moved to kiss his way down Narumiâs neck.
