The much anticipated annual Fourth of July Little Family Barbecue was in full swing. Mrs. Martha Little, the driving force of the whole event, was making the rounds in the backyard greeting and bantering with their welcomed guests. She was often so engrossed in her hosting duties, she ends up failing to remember she had her own husband and son to interact and speak with as well. At least, until she was in need of their help. Though, they never really minded. Usually these events are a chance for them to sneak off to enjoy some time together and they were sure today won't be much different.

When Martha asked for Dylan to go grab some condiments from the walk-in pantry as they were running low (and Martha was not about to be caught unawares), Peter and Dylan both knew not to waste such a precious gift. Peter furtively followed after Dylan into their home as he tried not to make it look too obvious that he's following after his own son. A quick 'Hello' or 'It's been a while' here and there, a hand shake or two, and Peter was in the home stretch. He made a beeline for the pantry as soon as he was in the clear.

Now the plan had been to just keep a low profile. A 4th of July where he didn't have to be Captain America or 'on'. He could just have a beer, be in the background of some seemingly normal neighbourhood and that would be that. But it seemed fate or at least one guy in particular had other plans for him, as Steve found himself cornered by a young man who seemed to know exactly who he was.

He seemed nice, genuine even though perhaps a little eager and had all but cornered Steve against a wall as he talked to him. Steve holding his beer, as the young man continued to talk to him - the soldier unable to ignore that the young man's clothing did little to hide his physique - bulging bicep, huge pecs - he might be shorter than Steve but his body seemed just as big.

"Hm? What, I sorry son I...lost my train of thought for a moment. What did you say?" Steve quickly snapped back into focus, hoping the staring had not been obvious and with no clue what this guy had even said or suggested to him.

Scott was biking his way home from a quick errand to pick up milk for his cereal the next day when he saw Theo’s truck in the middle of an empty parking lot for a closed business. He frowned and let his curiosity win him over, biking in to the lot. He looked at Theo’s truck and gasped as he saw the curled up form of Theo inside. He knocked on the window with a frown, waiting until Theo got up and opened the door. “Dude, are you seriously sleeping in your truck? That’s so fucked up.” He shook his head and crossed his arms. “Not anymore. You’re sleeping at my place from now on. We’ll swap who gets the bed each night. Tonight’s my night, but I swear, it’s not uncomfortable I did it with Isaac once upon a time. Just come on. No one deserves to sleep in their car.” He hoped Theo would accept even if he didn’t fully trust him yet. This was the first time Theo showed him any vulnerability, so he was a little taken off guard.

"Well, this sure is a surprise” Owen remarked, standing in the doorway of his own home having just answered to see two of the neighbour’s kids standing right there on his front lawn. He’d been simply enjoying a lazy Sunday alone, beer in hand and the game on when there had been a knock on the door. He knew the two boys somewhat, knowing that they were on their way to college sooner rather than later and he knew both their fathers. Large arms folding over his big chest, brow raised somewhat and a curious look on his face at what they were doing here and what they might want, need or be up to. “What can do for you boys? Your fathers need something?” He remarked, doubting that was true but he wasn’t sure what other reason they could be here for. Eyes momentarily glancing up and down at them before settling back on them. 

Jace knew he was running out of time to break the curse on the royal family and if that happen, their enchanted songs would be lost for all time. True love’s kiss was the only key to breaking the curse but he wasn’t quite sure what that meant. His time on earth was short and he didn’t understand too much about their society yet but he figured a kiss would be a good place to start. Jace pressed his lips against the first man that caught his attention, the kiss was long and chaste before he pulled away frowning. “It didn’t work. How am I supposed to get true love’s kiss now?” He thought, not realizing he was speaking into the other’s mind..
