It was still a few hours away from the game but Walden’s already been getting what he came for. No pun intended. There he was at his tent, lying naked and wet from sweat and other things. He couldn’t be bothered to wipe everything off right away. Instead, he reached for a nearby pack of cigarettes and lit one stick. Beside him was Daniel, someone Walden every now and then hits up for a little action in the Ministry lavatory.

Don’t get him wrong. The cramped space of bathroom stalls, the need to keep things silent, and the possibility of getting caught made their trysts incredibly exhilarating. But there’s only so much you can do when you can’t flip your paramour around and maneuver him in different positions so that he becomes more accessible.

Walden finished his stick before throwing it to the ground and turning to the man beside him. He might hate Aurors with so much disgust but it always feels good after fucking one. “So...” he started after exhaling the last puff of smoke from his lungs, “are you ready for round two?”

Daniel was walking through, in his own world when he heard a voice that seemed to call out to him. He glanced down at the girl in the hammock and offered a small smile, “yeah that’s frustrating. I hate when that happens”. He wasn’t really one for small talk but he didn’t have anywhere else to be. After a small pause he asked “what’re you reading?”

Lifting her green eyes from the dusty pages of the book she’d been reading, Sophie focused on the man. “Crime and Punishment,” she supplied and marked her page with a piece of origami she had with her. “Are you familiar with the piece?” she wondered. She was aware that it wasn’t going to be the reading choice of most people on the island, however, there was a part of her that always wished to hope.

“You were...” her original plan was to confront him, to be angry and repeat the words she has heard a thousand times (though, never directly to her), but before she can continue her planned tirade, she starts laughing, “this is not...” covering her mouth with her hand, she tries to will the laughter away. 

A few seconds later she finally continues, a few chuckles still escaping her lips from time to time. “I don’t know why I am laughing. And, sorry about approaching you so... dramatically? Well, anyways, do you have anything to say in your behalf, Mr. Street Magician?”

“Mr. Street Magician who ignored me when I got curious about your magic tricks? Ha! I knew there was something different about you!”

Jeremy called Daniel right after he talked to Jenny, and learned that she had apparently crossed the border and forgotten that she had ever returned to Beacon Hills. He didn't know what the best way to handle this was but he thought that figuring something out with Daniel, and Dan of course, was the way to go before someone told her something that would hurt her. Now he was back at his house, waiting for Daniel to show up. From what he could tell, Elena wasn't home. He hadn't made it upstairs yet, but the house was quiet. Just thinking about his sister led him off on another spiral of his own thoughts. They were supposed to have dinner together that night at home, takeout given the fact that neither of the Gilberts knew what they were doing in a kitchen yet, and he was going to tell her everything. And by everything, he really meant everything. About the mark on his arm, and the Five, what he knew of them of them at least, to the fact that he was seeing the ghosts of his dead ex-girlfriends, right up to telling her that he was now dating Daniel Salvatore.

He didn't know how all of that was going to go over, but he would hope for the best. His sister usually had a way of handling things surprisingly well, and he thought it was time she knew. Jeremy had made his way over to the couch at some point while he was waiting, and he was laid out across it withe the remote held in one hand, when he heard someone at the door. Feeling sure of who it was, he quickly pushed himself up and let the remote fall back down on the couch. He made his way over to the door, smiling after he pulled it open. "Hey." He let go of the door to take a step forward before pulling Daniel inside the house with him. They had plenty of things to worry about, so Jeremy thought they could have a moment before it was time to face it all again.
