It had been about a week or so, Tae wasn’t sure, since he had met his strange new friend, Raphael. Or Resident Ninja Turtle, as he had listed as the man in his phone. Initially, Tae had been wary of a stranger in town who openly admitted to murder, but after knowing he knew Grace and after spending more time with him, Tae resolved that the man was good people.

So of course, what better way to welcome someone to town than to try and get them friggin’ schwasty? Tae invited Raphael to meet him at Saints & Sinners. Flanigan’s was too casual (not to mention Erin was there and Tae didn’t need some hotter guy getting all the attention) and Neverland had more of a human vibe to it. Tae sat at the bar with his gin and tonic, perking up when he saw Raphael walk through the door.

“Hey! Ninja Turtle!” He greeted, waving his hand. “Come on over, man, first round’s on me!”

“I’m not covering for you, now what is going on.”

 Raphael let his eyes slowly move over the handsome young man, all too familiar with him by now having been coming here for months and yet every time it was just as enjoyable and secretly just as eager to see that chiseled and sculpted body all over again with a low hum escaping his lips before he turned his eyes back up to Tyler. “I take it you saw how much you’d make in a month, you could easily apply for college next semester with that kind of money and let’s be frank darling, this place? It’s beneath you.” He remarked, casually spreading his just a little and getting comfortable for the show that he knew he was going to enjoy.

 After all, Tyler had quite the talent.

“I don’t mean to be a bitch, but why are people still having businesses and everything in Hogsmeade? I heard apparently this isn’t the first time people had to rebuild Hogsmeade. I feel like it would change my attitude about keeping a business here.”

“Can you even explain what the point of Valentine’s Day even is?” she said, licking some of the whipped cream off the top of her hot chocolate. If Ophelia was being honest, she hated Valentine’s Day. “Actually can anyone explain it?”

Ella had spoken to Raphael since the foundation dance and since then she had put a guard up, the majority of the people around the university would see her come cross as a bitch the last few days and although that didn’t bother her. She was trying to get better but she felt the pain and sadness from putting her guard up and all she wanted to do was cry. She was exhausted and worn out. Sighing, she decided to go to Raph’s room, she knocked the door and opened it slightly before looking around  before walking in and saw him in his room and she smiled slightly, “Is it okay if I come in?”

Kara knew there was a dance coming up and she knew she wanted to be the one to ask Raphael to it since he asked her to prom and she knew she didn’t need to  be worried, he’d probably say yes but she was still scared to ask him. She decided to go to the class where Raph was going to be in and wait outside, it was weird how she knew what class he would be in but she didn’t really think about that too much. She saw everyone come out of the class room before she looked up to see Raph walk out and she couldn’t help but smile, “So hello Stranger.” She said giggling looking at him.
