Jerome
*"Hurry up, love! The sun us starting to rise already!"* *Elias would chuckle, taking Lukes hand gently.*
Steve
*"Alright, alright! Patience! Stop calling me that, you silly rat."* *He laughs warmly as Elias tugged him along the trail.*
Jerome
*"Did I tell you there was a lake in the Elder Forest? But its very teeny tiny."* *He looks over to Luke, with a warm smile.*
Steve
*"Pft, like your common sense. But no, and if it was small, it was probably a pond, stupid."*
Jerome
*"I'm going to tell your sisters to stay home for thr rest of the week, so they can bug you! You meanie."*
Steve
*"You can try. They really don't like you. And actually, I don't think anyone likes you. I'm like, your only friend."* *He laughs
Jerome
*"You like me."* *He responds, looking at you teasingly.*
Steve
*"Shut up. No I don't!"* *He pouts, continuing to walk the trail.*
Jerome
*"Mmm, I think you do. I can prove it!"* *He grins cheekily.*
Steve
*"Then prove it, you retarded taxidermied goblin!"* *He says, provoking you a bit.*
Jerome
*Elias would spin Luke around to face him, gliding his fingers to your wrist, feeling your pulse. It got faster.* *"See how your heart beats for me?"* *He teased.*
Steve
*He tugs his hand away,* *"You wish!"*
Jerome
*Elias rolls his eyes playfully, his panther tail flicking to the side.*

*Both their eyes widen, not expecting the pure beauty of this natural thing.*
Steve
*"It's beautiful."* *He smiles softly as he sits on a low tree branch.*
Jerome
*He sits beside Luke, happy to be able to share this nice moment together in peace. Just away from the world, finally.*
Steve
*Luke smiles softly, resting his head on Elias' shoulder. Luke moves his hand to Elias', intertwining their fingers. They were finally away from everything. No one to judge their relationship, no one to make comments on every single consonant they form. It was just them two.*
David
|| these two are precious

|| someone protect them
Norman
|| but now they are quite literally sitting in a tree
Steve
*"You know we have our shift in the orphanage in a few hours right? We should get home and rest up a little. Cmon."* *Luke says softly, kissing the corner of Elias' lips. Then stands up, helping Elias down.*
Jerome
*"Alright, alright. Do you know if Quinn is going to be home? He didn't say."* *Elias said, smiling softly at the kiss.*
Steve
*"What, you scared we'll be house alone?"* *He teased as they walked back into town.*
Jerome
*"Oh, shut up."* *He laughs as they hold hands on the way.*
Dorothy
***Timeskip to when they get home.***
*Background info— Elias's parents are out of town so he and his siblings are staying at Luke's place for the time being <3*
Steve
*Luke unlocks the door and enters, it seems no one was home. Even Lukes siblings. Strange.. He looks to find a note on the table, saying, "Hey Elias, I took Chris and the girls out on a walk to the forest. Don't do weird shit with Luke while I'm gone. —Quinn."*

*Luke can't help but chuckle softly to himself, and leans on the wall. He didn't feel tired, but he knew he would be during work if he didn't rest now.*
Jerome
*"What'd the note say?"* *He says, peeking over his shoulder.*
Steve
*"Quinn took Chris and the girls out on a walk, and he also said don't do weird crap."*
Jerome
*"Mean."* *He comments, still looking over his shoulder to see exactly what was said.*
Steve
*Luke rolls his eyes playfully, Elias was such a big baby.*
Jerome
*Elias just rests his chin on Luke's shoulder, and wrapped his arms around his waist, hugging him from behind. Elias was feeling a little bit tired.*
Steve
*Luke can't help but smile slightly at the interaction, laying his head back a little.*
David
|| These two are adorable
Steve
*"Alright cat, get some sleep."*
Jerome
*Elias nods and smiles, pecking Luke on the lips before going to his room, his tail flicking around a bit haplily.*
Dorothy
***Timeskip, Day 2.***
Steve
*Luke was just outside, watching the animals scurry and the birds chirp and squeal.*
Jerome
*Elias walks over to Luke, just hugging him from behind again. Elias could be quite clingy, but Luke didn't mind much. Elias just plays with the ends of Luke's curls. The mornings were normally pretty nice and quiet.*
Norman
|| haha, these teo are so precious

|| to bad i have to kill Luke off for plot reasons 😈
Jerome
*Elias kisses the back of Luke's head, "Why are you up so early?.."*
Steve
*"Couldn't stay asleep any longer. I feel tired, tired of being asleep. It's a strange feeling." Luke says softly.*

*Luke suddenly feels extremely tired, and feels his legs almost give way. Stupid anemia..*
Jerome
*"Are you alright? You don't seem well."*

*When Elias doesn't hear a response, he feels panic rush in his veins.He turns Lyke to face him. Lukes eyes were a little bit dull, and he had red spots on his neck and arms. Elias wondered silently to himself, why was this so similar to Leukemia? Anemia, spots, coughing blood, it couldn't be!*
Steve
*Luke stands up straighter, rubbing his eyes a little, "I'm okay, I'm okay."*
Jerome
*His eyebrows furrow, "Are you positive I dont need to take you somewhere to get medical assistance? This has been happening a lot recently, and im concerned, what if—"*
Steve
*"No, Elias. Remember last time we went somewhere? They said horrible things to you just because your a witch, I'm not letting that happen again, Eli.." Luke says, his voice was a little bit shaky like he was going to break into a coughing fit
Jerome
*Elias just embraces him, hoping everything would be alright in the future. He couldn't lose him. He can't live without him.*

*"Alright, love. Let's go inside, this cold isn't doing you any better."* *He kisses Lukes forehead, rubbing Lukes arms gently.*
Norman
Read from beginning for context 👍

Kixu even loves it ||
Pamela
This is just another version of silly goose
Norman
But luke is a "Friendly bully" Apparently

Luke is just a big baby sometimestho
Pamela
He's one of those partners who bully the other
Steve
"I dont want to." *Luke complains, his eyebrows furrowing.*
Jerome
"Please, I'm asking nicely?" *He says softly, still caressing Elias's hand.*
Steve
"Fine.." *He sighs, unlocking the door and walking back inside.*
Dorothy
***Timeskip to sometkme later because i dunno how to continue the plot 😃🖕***

**The two were resting on the couch, side by side. Both were a bit mentally tired at the moment.*
Jerome
*Elias sighs, his face resting in the crook of Luke's neck, and his arms wrapped around his waist. Embracing his slim build. His mind was a little foggy right now, and all he wanted to do is just stay with Luke, making him feel loved, keeping himself, ect
Norman
STUPID ENTER BUTTON 😭
Steve
*Luke sighs softly, just caressing Elias's arms lovingly.*
Norman
This shit makes my heart flutter but im literally the one writing it ||❤️
David
|| shhhh my heart is fluttering too
Jerome
"I love you so unfathomably much, okay? Don't.. Don't get too anxious to say it whenever you need something.. Alright? I'll give it to you no matter what. No matter how great or little. Alright?" *Elias says, pressing his lips to Luke's forehead.*
Steve
"Alright.." *He says, pecking a tender kiss on your lips before resting his head back on your shoulder, intertwining their fingers together.*
