nate knocked repeatedly on the door until augustus answered. ever since parker had left town without any warning nate had been in a funk. as much as he loved spending time with athena it wasn’t the same as having a guy friend he could just mess around and be stupid with. not that augustus really filled that void, but he was someone who wasn’t a girl to hang out with. so when he went into hiding or whatever it was he was doing nate had understandably gotten concerned. and after days of ignoring texts nate knew it was time to take matters into his own hands.

when augustus finally opened the door and he saw the look on his face nate immediately held up the bottle of whiskey as a peace offering. “i know you said you don’t want me here, but come on. you can’t just hide in your house forever, what the fuck is going on with you?” while there was a teasing tone to his words there was also genuine concern. though neither of the men would admit it they did care about the well-being of one another. “even if we just sit in silence and drink all night i think you need someone right now.”

Dimitri’s brows furrowed at the other man’s words. He didn’t beleive it, not with the Augustus that he had seen. Perhaps another version of him —the one he saw peeking through the first time they had met, or when resentment stained his words when he spoke to Charlie… But the man who offered him comfort when he needed it and made him believe, if only for a moment, that this life was not a curse —he had to be trusted. Didn’t he? Dimitri, at least, would but his faith in the man. Even if he didn’t want it. 

      “I… don’t believe that.” 

He was the anxious one, the one on the brink of tears at any given moment, if only someone were there to give him a shove. Eternally uncertain and worried he had done the wrong thing, said the wrong thing, Dimitri was not used to offering comfort, himself. Unless it was to Mona. He wasn’t providing comfort here, though; that didn’t seem like something Augustus would want, nor something Dimtiri believed he needed nor would try to offer him. He was just being honest. 

      “I might be a child, or an idiot, or whatever you want to call me, but, um… I just don’t.”

♠ - … My muse on a bad day

✰ - a drabble about my muse from the point of view of... my muse’s best friend.

“Sofia Santiago...” 

Alex shook her head in mock-disapproval, but her smile gave away her love of the girl. 

“I followed her here, you know. To West Hollow. God knows I would never have come to a town like this if it wasn’t for her. She’s got this crazy vision, right? Can’t tell you what it is, or she’d wring my throat, but uh...” 

Her smile faded a bit, but her eyes were alive with admiration. 

“I’d follow her to the ends of the earth, y’know? She’s impulsive as all hell, but she’s... She’s so fucking smart, and strong, and ---well, I could go on, but you get the point. She does the right thing, even when it’s the hard thing. She’d make a great leader.” 

👤 - If they could switch bodies or lives with any one person, who would it be?

      Anyone living. She’s not particularly picky, but she does think it would be interesting to switch bodies with a man.

🎧 - How would they react after hearing an unexplained sound while home alone?

      When she was alive, she would have likely ignored it, turned the TV or her music up louder, and hoped that it was nothing. Now that whatever it is can’t really hurt her ---and that she knows things that go bump in the night are real--- she’d go investigate.

🔮 - They have a premonition that something terrible will happen to them. How do they handle the situation?

      The only truly horrible thing that could happen to her at this point would be to never move on to the next world, or to nothingness, or whatever happens once her unfinished business gets finished. If she found out that this would happen, she’d do whatever it took to move on or destroy herself. She’s not sure it’s possible, but she couldn’t stand for it.

😴 - Would they ever choose to die in their sleep? Why or why not?

❌ Would they consider themselves easy to corrupt? Already corrupted?

      Not necessarily easy to currupt, but definitely easy to influence. As someone that hates conflict and has pretty intense anxiety, if somebody encourages him to do something with enough persistence, he’s quite likely to go along with it. In terms of long-term or permanent corruption though, he’s not easily swayed that far. In his opinion, however, he is already corrupted because he was turned.

😪 Name one thing someone could say or do to make your muse cry.

      If he cares about the person in question, it wouldn’t be hard ---they could say something self-deprecating that makes him sad (read: Mona), they could say something mean that he wouldn’t expect from a loved one, they could also do something incredibly supportive. 

👤 If they could switch bodies or lives with any one person, who would it be?

      If it were a legitimate option, he wouldn’t take it. However, he’d be pretty curious to see what life for someone like Nate would be like. 

🐲Were they afraid of monsters under the bed as a child?
