We Are Bulletproof

Ken?
I have a question.

@Kenneth Branagh

Back in town.
What's the work load looking like?

@Blue

*innocently trying to buy groceries when he's bombarded by Monroe*
*several minutes later*

Why is your twin brother telling me you're going to try and befriend hunters?

@Blue

Things felt so out of sorts, ever since Gregg had been bitten. With success, he'd hidden the wound from his fellow hunter friends and he managed to hide the changes during the full moons that passed afterward. That first change had been arduous but he'd been lucky enough to find a werewolf just like him that showed him the ropes. Gregg thought of him with uncharacteristic fondness. Gregg wasn't normally one to feel deeply affectionate towards anyone.

He had friends in the other hunters but now he questioned how deeply those friendships really ran. Now that he was the Other, he couldn't help thinking they would turn on him in a heartbeat. They would kill him and he wasn't even sure it would be that tough for them. Maybe for Dom. If Dom was still around. But Dom had gone missing some time ago, written off as yet another hunter casualty in the war against the supernatural. But the way he disappeared... it wasn't new. Dom was just kinda like that--here one minute, gone the next.

So why did Gregg sense him here? He more than sensed him; he could smell him with his newly heightened senses. Dom. He was probably the closest person to a friend he'd made amongst the others but even he probably wouldn't understand. Unless he'd been bitten, too. He might have a reason for disappearing--and one similar to Gregg's reason for vanishing. The difference was, Gregg had only been missing for a few weeks. Dom... Dom had been gone for a long time this time. Probably some super secret job he didn't want to let the others in on. After all, bigger cut, depending on who he was working for.

Gregg cautiously stepped through the orange and red leaves, listening for any sign of other creatures in the forests nearby. What would Dom even be doing here... if it was him? All he knew was that there had been a note on his phone that looked like it had come from Dom. Note. Really it was just a photograph of these woods, as if it were a clue in some cruel game. In all honesty, Gregg partially thought it was a murderer, showing him where his friend's body had been buried.

But he smelled him and he smelled very much alive.

Gregg was a quiet man, so he didn't burst through the brush shouting and yelling his friend's name. In fact, he said nothing as he walked through the forest, just another leaf in the wind. It was only when he saw another man in his path that he stopped and it was only then that he spoke.

"Dominic," he said, rather formally, as if it hadn't been so long since his last appearance.

@Queen Halo

Aldon?

Are you coming back?

@Aldon Huang

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 17 2017, 04:52 PM
I know you're gonna get that look on your face

But do you want to go clubbing with me tonight??

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 17 2017, 09:30 PM
If you know, then why are you asking me?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 17 2017, 09:36 PM
Because I have to try, Gregg

How would I get anywhere if I don't try?!

So yes? Clubbing with Aldon~?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 17 2017, 09:39 PM
Trying does seem to pay off for you.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 17 2017, 09:47 PM
You're trying to distract me, but it won't work~

C'monnnnnn

It won't kill you! You don't even have to dance!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 17 2017, 09:54 PM
You promise?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 17 2017, 09:58 PM
...do you want me to be honest or do you want me to be Aldon?

Cause if you want me to be Aldon, then yes. I super duper promise.

If you want me to be honest

I might get you on the dance floor against your will. ;P

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 17 2017, 10:08 PM
Then be warned that I can't dance and be prepared for bruised toes.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 17 2017, 10:12 PM
Omg I broke you!

You're not even trying to resist anymore!

<3

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 17 2017, 10:14 PM
Not broken.

Just trying.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 17 2017, 10:20 PM
Well just for that, I'll let you step on all my toes tonight

And Gregg

(takes him a minute or two to write it)

I really like you too

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 17 2017, 10:21 PM
That's very brave of you.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 17 2017, 10:31 PM
For letting you break my toes??

I'll wear steel-toed boots

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 17 2017, 10:40 PM
(sarcastically)

Yes. That's what I meant.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 17 2017, 10:48 PM
I know what you meant!

I'm

trying too

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 18 2017, 01:15 PM
Good.

(Doesn't seem like enough)

We're on the same page.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 18 2017, 01:23 PM
Well. Good!

(Feeling embarrassed and awkward)

So tonight? Meet me at Envy around 8? I'm hanging out with Roe after class

He's all

Happy 

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 18 2017, 02:03 PM
Is that a bad thing?

I'll be there.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 18 2017, 02:13 PM
No, not in general

I just need to give him The Talk about the guy he's seeing!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 18 2017, 04:13 PM
Is he going to give you one too?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 18 2017, 04:18 PM
Why would he? You're a great guy!

I did try to set him up with somebody else though, and he backed out last minute. What a jerk, right??

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 18 2017, 04:44 PM
That must have been... disappointing.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 18 2017, 04:52 PM
It was! I thought the guy was

(Few seconds later)

Are you making fun of me right now?!

I know where you sleep at night!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 18 2017, 09:48 PM
Now why would I do that?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 18 2017, 10:10 PM
Because you pretend like you don't have a sense of humor but you totally do

You can make fun of me all you want right now

Cause tonight, I'll get you back 10x more!!!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 18 2017, 11:14 PM
With some good old fashioned foot stomping?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 09:37 AM
Pfft no. That's child's play!

I'm not going to tell you what I'll do but it'll be BAD!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 09:59 AM
Good bad?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 12:18 PM
Definitely~

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 12:21 PM
As long as it's not actual foot stomping...

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 12:34 PM
Is that your one weakness? Like how superman has kryptonite but you have fragile toes?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 12:38 PM
No.

Not sure you've found that yet.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 12:44 PM
Oho! A challenge!

Now I have to find it!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 12:49 PM
If anybody can I bet it'll be you.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 12:57 PM
You really believe in me that much?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 01:01 PM
(hesitant)

You don't?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 01:03 PM
I totally believe in me!

And you.

And us.

I just wish I'd met you sooner.

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 01:06 PM
I don't.

I don't think earlier would have been

good.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 01:25 PM
Why not??

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 06:33 PM
Just trust me.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 07:28 PM
I do but you can't just say that and then leave me hanging!

Gregggggggg

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 07:34 PM
I wasn't somebody you'd want to meet.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 07:42 PM
What were you like?

Worse than you are NOW?

(That was a joke!)

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 07:55 PM
Yes, actually.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 08:06 PM
Really? In what way?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 08:10 PM
Someday I'll tell you. I don't think now is the time.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 08:11 PM
You sound like my grandpa. 

I'm a big boy and I want to know now, not someday!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 08:12 PM
I don't think it's pre-date talk.

Or something to say over text either.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 08:22 PM
Okay, fine, I'll drop it.

So you're calling this a date? ;]

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 19 2017, 08:25 PM
(Oh shit)

Is that not what it is?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 19 2017, 09:49 PM
Depends

Do I get a corsage and will you pick me up in a limo?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 12:53 AM
That's prom.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 06:51 AM
Oh... then...

How about you buy me a drink later and we make out in the cab on the way home?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 11:36 AM
That sounds more like it.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 11:55 AM
Do you ever feel like we're doing everything backwards?

Not that I mind!

It's just kinda funny, the way we met and everything.

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 11:59 AM
Maybe that's the way it had to be.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 12:50 PM
Well it's not the way I usually meet people I end up dating seriously

But then again I threw hot cheese on Ry before he went out with me so...

Maybe it's me. You think it's me? Am I just weird??

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 12:55 PM
Yeah.

You're definitely weird.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 12:59 PM
;(

Well you could've at least tried to lie

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 01:52 PM
Is it a bad thing?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 01:56 PM
Isn't it?? People don't say weird in a good way

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 02:19 PM
Is unique better?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 02:21 PM
Now you're just saying that because you don't want to hurt my feelings!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 03:16 PM
I'm really not.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 03:22 PM
So you want to hurt my feelings????

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 03:23 PM
No....

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 03:25 PM
I'm just messing with you!

And I don't care if I'm weird

Cause being weird got me in a relationship with you so... it can't be that bad!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 03:35 PM
(That what I was trying to say...)

Yeah. I'm dating you

and I don't usually do that

(hesitates then,)

:]

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 03:45 PM
A SMILIE??

Okay who are you and when did you abduct Gregg?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 03:55 PM
I just thought I'd try it. I apologize. It was stupid.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 03:57 PM
Nooooooooooo

Don't stop it! You were just starting to be cute!!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 04:07 PM
What? I wasn't cute before?

...don't answer that.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 04:10 PM
You're the cutest!! I'm totally telling all my friends about how cute you are!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 04:16 PM
No. Don't.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 04:27 PM
Too late! I'm texting Rae right now and telling him!!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 04:45 PM
Why??

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 04:54 PM
Because 1) I love annoying him and

2) I love freaking you out

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 05:18 PM
I'm not freaked out

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 05:25 PM
Were too~

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 05:38 PM
Were?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 05:42 PM
Are?

Do you freak out for long periods when people call you cute?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 06:07 PM
...no

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 06:52 PM
I think we're both weird, Gregg

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 06:54 PM
I'll say.

Also most people really don't think guys over six feet tall with tattoos are "cute."

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 06:56 PM
Well most people aren't Aldon

I think 6 ft tall guys with tattoos are cute and weird

So there

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 07:23 PM
Cute weirdo.

Little childish though.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 07:28 PM
I'm gonna step on your toes so hard when I see you

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 08:10 PM
That better be some kind of innuendo

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 08:19 PM
It's not

Maaaaaaaaaybe

You'll just have to find out when I see you~

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 08:25 PM
For calling YOU cute?

It's the weirdo part isn't it?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 08:35 PM
No, for calling me childish!

I'm totally mature! Just ask

My mom!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 08:36 PM
I think I might have laughed out loud a little bit.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 08:52 PM
Aha!

Mission accomplished!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 09:07 PM
All you got was me admitting it. Didn't get to hear it.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 09:15 PM
Hey! Let me have my small victories!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 09:18 PM
You're one of those inch people, aren't you?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 09:20 PM
I have lots of inches, yes

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 09:28 PM
.....that's not what I meant but

good to know.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 09:29 PM
You know I do, you've seen it!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 09:34 PM
(I have?

Oh right. I have. We met... naked.)

That was before I

shit

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 09:37 PM
Before you what?


Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 09:40 PM
Before I considered you a man.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 09:46 PM
What does that even mean??

You thought of me as a woman maybe????

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 09:47 PM
Not as a person to

be with.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 09:48 PM
I don't know if I should be offended or worried.........

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 09:50 PM
Neither.

I told you I don't do relationships remember?

Normally just call a prostitute.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 20 2017, 09:53 PM
Why not relationships?

I mean aside from the fact that you hadn't found me yet. ;P

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 20 2017, 10:56 PM
They seem messy.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 12:31 AM
You didn't think they're worth it for moments like we just had?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 08:33 AM
Never had moments like this.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 09:31 AM
Thennn you just didn't meet the right kind of person!

Besides don't just get a prostitute, who knows what they have?? Only thing you have to worry about with me are rabies!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 12:09 PM
Can werewolves get rabies?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 12:40 PM
Anyone can get rabies!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 12:45 PM
Just weird thinking of werewolves with rabies is all.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 01:01 PM
Why? People get rabies too you know!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 01:59 PM
I guess because of the healing factor.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 02:10 PM
...remind me again why we're talking about rabies??

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 02:11 PM
Pretty sure you brought it up.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 02:18 PM
*reads back*

As a joke!!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 02:44 PM
Are we getting ready? Or should I just show up shirtless?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 02:48 PM
If you show up shirtless we're not gonna make it out of the cab

Just sayin

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 03:12 PM
Then you won't get a chance to stomp my feet.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 03:15 PM
I'd be busy doing other things though. ;)


Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 03:42 PM
Sounds like a better time if I don't wear a shirt.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 03:53 PM
The shirt's coming off anyway, let's be honest

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 04:14 PM
Just mine?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 04:17 PM
Of course not~ Gotta be fair right?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 04:18 PM
I feel like we're not going to be out long.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 04:48 PM
Just long enough to get a drink and for somebody's toes to get stepped on.

I promised friend we'd go together but once he finds a new friend... We're out!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 05:04 PM
Is this the one you were trying to set up with your brother?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 05:08 PM
Yeah! I felt bad about it so I offered to go with him.

But since I can't pick anybody up... I might as well bring you too!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 05:19 PM
You could but that would be strange.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 05:26 PM
We should do that thing where we pretend we don't know each other, and then pick each other up.

Uh. Role playing? Or something?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 05:40 PM
No.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 05:43 PM
Yes yes! We can even pretend we're werewolves!!  :D

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 05:49 PM
Or pretend we're not.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 07:26 PM
That's no fun. Being an ordinary human is so... bleh

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 07:38 PM
But we're already werewolves...

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 07:44 PM
IT WAS A JOKE!!!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 08:32 PM
Calm down.

I knew that.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 08:38 PM
I am calm

It's just hard to tell when you're serious and when you're slightly less serious

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 09:20 PM
Maybe if we were in person right now.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 09:42 PM
Miss me already~?  :D

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 10:18 PM
I've grown fond of having you around.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 10:26 PM
I also

I have feelings for you.

I think I could probably even

Nvm

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 10:28 PM
You're going to leave me hanging now?

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 10:31 PM
It's just not something I want to say over text.

Maybe I'll whisper it in your ear when I see you.

Have a step-ladder ready for me, tall man! :P

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 10:33 PM
Hm, could pick you up.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 10:36 PM
No! That'll make us look too gay.

Just bend your knees and I'll get up on tip toe.

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 10:40 PM
That seems drastic. You're not ten.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 10:56 PM
Do you want to hear my confession of undying you-know-what or not??

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 11:00 PM
I do. We could just sit down.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 21 2017, 11:04 PM
Oh yeah... You're so smart, Gregg. <3

But wait. I'm not going to be the only one saying stuff right?

Riiiight?

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 21 2017, 11:48 PM
If we're conversing, I'll probably say stuff too.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 22 2017, 02:31 AM
Okay but

No take backs!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 22 2017, 08:54 AM
I'm not ten either.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 22 2017, 09:34 AM
It doesn't matter so much when you're 10 and take back your pokemon card

Adult take backs are different 

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 22 2017, 10:10 AM
I won't take anything back.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 22 2017, 10:23 AM
: ) I want to see you already. But. Roe.

I'll see you in a bit okay? Gotta go brag to Roe about what a great guy you are~

And you know. Hang out with my twin and stuff.

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 22 2017, 10:25 AM
All right. See you later.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 22 2017, 12:07 PM
Only 1??!

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 22 2017, 12:15 PM
....you're lucky you even got that one.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 22 2017, 12:16 PM
I take them all back

Posted by: GREGGORY LENNOX Jun 22 2017, 12:21 PM
I thought we weren't doing that.

Because we're not ten.

Posted by: ALDON HUANG Jun 22 2017, 12:23 PM

Good good.

See you then.

"Werewolves are fucking assholes," James said, sounding pissed beyond words. Greggory's gaze flicked around the coffeehouse, half expecting somebody to hear him through the phone. Nobody had. Or if they had, they made themselves look as if they hadn't.

"Can we talk about this later?" Gregg asked. Lately, he couldn't speak so ill of the werewolves, despite everything they had done to him. They'd stolen his mentor for him. They'd turned him. That meant he was one of them. On top of that, he might just have fallen for one. It wasn't something he could share with James. James being one of his hunter partners.

"Am I on speaker?" James asked, sounding hesitant for once.

"No."

But James could still take a hint. It wasn't a good time to talk about the supernatural.

"All right, whatever," James said. "I'll see you later tonight. Don't forget the extra bullets. I'm all out from that last hunt."

"I won't," Gregg said stiffly. After they said their goodbyes, Gregg gladly sat his phone down on the table. His drink had been barely touched at this point. James called just after he bought it and now he had no appetite, not even for a cup of java. He was just getting up to toss it in the bin when somebody bursting into the coffeehouse sporting a large wound on their shoulder. It looked like a dog bite. Or something else.
