Jameson Hawthorne is going to throttle Xander.

It started out as Xander showing Jameson a new invention, leading him into one of his many workshop and having him look at something with too many gears for Jameson to comprehend. Then after 30 seconds of talking, Nash, the eldest, walks in.

With Rohan right behind him.

At the sight of Rohan, Jameson turns to leave the room. Nash side steps in front of him and grabs his shoulder. "Not so fast, Jamie."

Xander claps his hands together and goes to stand infront of the door, "Okay! Me and Nash-"

"Mainly Xander," Nash cuts in.

"-have decided that you two need to deal with whatever argument you had and refuse to talk about and get that over with so we can go back eating in the same room, and what better way to do that than..." Xander turns, grandly gesturing to a digital clock on the wall that reads "2:00" in large red font.

"Puzzles! A Hawthorne tradition through generations of wealth and blood fued. Now, to bring you two closer together and make up."

Nash nudges Jameson further into the room, and with that, him and Xander leave. The door locks with an audible "click."

🃚 🃖 🃁 🂭 🂺 🃜 🃚

The clock on the wall makes a "ticking" sound. It now reads "1:59" and counting.

Jameson let's out a frustrated breath, taking a not so subtle look at Rohan, who's wearing a cream cashmere sweater with simple slacks. Sunglasses perched on his head. "This is your fault, you know."

"My fault." He repeats. "Are you sure about that, Hawthorne? You're their brother. And if my memory serves me right..." his voice lowers into something just above a whisper, "You're the one who said you wanted me."

Jamesons mind flashes to that night almost a month ago- drinks were drank, comments were made, decisions neither of them could go back on were done. Since then, they've been avoiding eachother. Passing eachother is hallways became awkward. So Jameson took the passage ways to avoid Rohan. And then Xander caught on and now they're...here. Locked in a room together with puzzles and a ticking clock.

Jamesons head snaps to him, glaring at Rohan. "Excuse me?" He asks, stepping closer.

They are both only around foot apart now, Rohan can smell the faint scent of what is leftover from Jamesons cologne. He grins, "You know im correct, Hawthorne. You remember that night just as well as I do. Probably more enjoyable as well."

Jameson blinks and steps away, walking around the room "Help me look for puzzles, Rohan." He mutters.

"Sure thing, trouble." He pushes off the wall does a slow sweep of the room. Occasionally pushing on wall panels, pulling drawers and flipping switches. Then he gets lucky, a panel in the wall rotates out. And on the other side engraved is a riddle.

"Hawthorne, I found a clue." Jameson glances over his shoulder, he walks over and runs his hand lightly over the engraved peice of wood.

"If you drop me, im sure to crack. But smile at me and I'll smile back." Jameson says aloud, he presses the surrounding panels hoping to find another clue, another engraving. Something to get him out of this room as quick as possible.

As Jameson continues his investigation, Rohan takes a step back and- unlike Jameson -does not bother to hide the look over he gives him. Hes in "home clothes," which consists of a sweater that cost more than Rohans first car, plaid pajama bottoms that have to have a designer logo somewhere on them, and hair falling slightly into his eyes.

"You know," Rohan strolls back over. Leaning against the wall with the engraved peice of wood jamesons leaned over. "Maybe Xander is right. We shouldn't avoid eachother forever." His eyes flick downwards to Jameson, who's looking up at him with those green eyes.

They stare at eachother, silently waiting to see who will break first. Always a competition and always no real winner.

A grin spreads across Rohan's face as he leans down slightly, bringing his lips down to Jameson's ear. "And I know for certain that I don't want to avoid you."

Uhh idk how to end this so they uhhh escape using a mirror (answer to the riddle) and live happily ever after and They both look abnormally flushed after leaving the room. Merry Christmas.

I cannot begin to explain how much I cant tell if I love or hate this🥀🥀

jake seems like a guy who doesn't fall in love much, but instead develops crushes rather quickly. i can feel his aries moon very vividly here, his emotions burn extremely hot at once, but the fire dies down just as fast. i can see him walking around and spotting three different girls he finds attractive in an instant, he's drawn to people pretty easily. + jake will be quick in approaching his crush, and very direct in the expression of his liking towards them. i pretty much get the four of pentacles in most romantic readings for him, however here it is reversed. i can see this desire of "possession" being more of an internalized and surpressed emotion, meaning he'll feel a sense of attachment to his crush, on a more subconscious level. it won't act out as obviously as it does when he's in a relationship. however, he will definitely be very engrossed in the person he's interested in. i keep hearing "가져야 해" which translates to "i have to get her". jake will not want to lose out on the opportunity to "obtain" his crush, so best believe he'll make sure to express his interest immediately. he will hate the thought of anyone else approaching them before him, and will definitely get jealous if he sees them with any other guy.

(side note, i keep feeling hot while being in this energy.. jake's emotions definitely 🔥 very powerfully, like when he feels he really feels)

sooo much of his ego will be attached to his crushes reaction though. although he'll be good at disguising it, i'm getting a lot of nervous energy internally, in a "oh sht, what do they think? do they like me?" type of way. jake does fear rejection, since he feels that it just makes him look stupid and embarrasses him. it hurts his pride immensely. he's aware that he can be very charming, and kinda views his natural ability to flirt as one of his strong suits. that's why, whether or not his crush gives in to him, will literally make or break him in that moment.

jake is an intuitive guy who's excellent at reading people and figuring out what they're thinking. so he'll be extremely observant of his crushes reaction once he approaches them. he will make sure to carefully study their facial expressions, gaze into their eyes deeply. one thing about this man, is that he knows how to make eye contact. there is eye contact, and then there is scorpio eye contact. it's intense, to say the least. i can see him loving to intimidate his crush with the way he just stares at them while they talk. he enjoys seeing their reaction and having a powerful effect on the person he likes.

he will use very straightforward ways to express his interest verbally. the moment jake sees someone he finds attractive, they are all he sees. the man gets obsessed. he does not care how dramatic it is, yeah he might've known his crush for a few minutes, but they're literally the love of his life. (i can hear jay telling jake "two days ago you called that other girl the love of your life too bro how many lives are you living" lol)

i can see jake telling his crush things like "no lie, i would've regretted it my entire life if i didn't go up to you" and laughing. he'll be amazing at making them think they're his one and only.

if jakes likes you, he'll be crazy good at luring you, and creating a perfect love scenario for you two, within a few minutes. even if you're in a crowded place full with people. in that moment, it'll feel like it's just you two. the energy will be very magnetic and i can feel the air getting kinda heated. you'll just be hypnotized by the way he makes your skin buzz. with his gaze, with his voice, with his words. even if he doesn't touch you or gets too close to you, it'll feel very intimate. he's excellent at smooth talking, and drawing you in so much that you can't seem to be able to take your eyes off him.

- as obsessed he'll be with his crush within that specific moment, it's surprisingly easy for him to move on. he might want to exchange numbers, maybe text you a few times, only to leave you on read in the end. i do see why people could call him a player, because he for sure plays with people's hearts, and can have selfish tendencies in this regard.
