Characters: Leon and Gael
Setting: Monday Night, After Janis' post of flipping out
Rating: SFW
Summary: Leon thinks Janis drank some LSD, and went to grab Gael. Together the boys are going to trek off to investigate this finger bits in the woods business. After all, these woods can't be worse than the ones around Hogwarts, their father told them plenty of stories about those woods.

It was chilly enough that Leon actually cracked out his jacket for this adventure, though he'd still been too lazy to actually put on real shoes. But at least he'd had common sense enough to bring his wand and a torch flashlight with him.

Looking back at his brother, he shivered a little in the cold, before tossing the other boy the torch. "Hold that," was all he said as he started zipping his jacket up and pulling his beanie down around his ears. "Fuck me, it's fuckin' cold out here."

Still, Janis' sanity was in question, here. It was up to them to calm her down by finding nothing, or...prove her right and call the cops.

As an athlete, Gael tended to take more care when he went out in the elements and as such was dressed in real shoes, with socks, and a sweater and jacket. And a scarf, just to be on the safe side.

When Leon tossed him the torch, he quickly pulled his hands out of his pockets and caught it. "Yeah, well, maybe you should wear warmer clothes, genius. I mean it is fucking winter." He cast the light around the area, looking at the ground and into the trees.

"Piss off," Leon retorted, glaring half heartedly at Gael before starting off into the wood. He wasn't really sure what they were looking for, but it was something.

And it was supposed to smell.

"You think there really could be fingers and rotting flesh out here?" He asked as he stepped over a fallen limb.

Gael just gave Leon a half smirk, half smile in response. Better to keep the mood light, it was dark, late, and he still wasn't entirely sure what they were supposed to be looking for.

He followed after his brother, avoiding obstacles and ducking low-hanging branches when need be. He shrugged even though he was behind Leon. "I don't know. Maybe it was an animal or something and she just got spooked."

"Maybe we went overboard with the horror flick marathons." He laughed, though. Looking through the woods blankly for a moment. There wasn't anything unusual going on, which was strikingly odd. For a forest.

"I was thinkin' of asking Addy to go with us to France, for the party." He was waiting for the massive 'are you insane' that was sure to follow that as he came to a stop.

"Yeah, probably," Gael agreed with a chuckle. "I mean, we all know Jan's a marshmallow when it comes to things like that." He cast the light to the side of where they were walking, checking for anything unusual. But he didn't even hear a rustle of leaves to show that there were any animals around.

And far be it for Gael to disappoint his brother. "Wait what?" He stalked around to frown at his brother incredulously. "You're kidding, right?"

"The Blair Witch Project was your idea too, wanker." But Leon laughed regardless. He'd not exactly protested the plan in the slightest. They really were no better than real older brothers.

But then there was Gael, forgetting all about the Blair Witch Project and completely focused on...well....Adelaide.

"No," he said with a bit of a shrug. "They'll met her eventually right, and maybe..." Adelaide would back out of this relationship to save herself. He didn't say that aloud, of course, but the thought floated across his mind for a moment.

"Night of the Living Dead was all you though." Gael grinned. It's not like he hadn't wanted to watch it, too. Poor Janis, between the two of them she was lost.

Of course, now that Leon had brought up his little girlfriend, any hope at little playful jabs were out the window. It was as though he wanted them to argue.

"Will they? Will they really? What, you planning on asking her to marry you or something?" He shook his head at this thought. God, please tell him that you won't do that, Leon. Please... "I honestly don't even get what it is you see in her. She doesn't make you happy!"

"You know, technically speaking? Nothing makes me happy, Gael. That's why they make me take pills." He rolled his eyes, resting his hands on his hips as his head lolled back. Staring up at the forest canopy he took a deep breath, en shut his eyes for a moment.

He'd honestly thought about it, to be fair. They were seniors, and it was time to start thinking about the future or whatever. Besides, getting married to someone like Adelaide was sure to please everyone but Gael.

"Why are you such a dick to her?" He asked finally, looking back at Gael. "I mean, honestly, what did she do to piss you and Janis off so much? Her friends hating me, I get. I really, do. I'm am arsehole, and I'm not going to deny it."

"Well, yeah, but still." He frowned in frustration and looked off into the woods. Great reasoning, Gael.

When Leon looked back at him, Gael met his gaze in that same instance, frown still in place. "I'm not a dick to her, I just... don't trust her. I don't know, alright? It just doesn't seem like you guys are right for each other. There's something... off about it."

"Seriously? If everyone in the world listened to what people around them had to say about their relationships? No one would ever date." Leon rolled his eyes, stuffing his hands into his pockets as he looked off.

"Besides," he continued, turning to stomp around Gael, kicking some leaves up in the process. "What on earth could be 'off'?"

"Sure they would. Not everyone dates someone who isn't suited to them." Gael hunched his shoulders a little, his frown deepening.

He rolled his eyes and shrugged a shoulder, not really wanting to have this conversation. "I don't know, it just doesn't seem like it really works. I mean, you guys are always fighting. That's it! I just don't think that's healthy."

"We haven't had a fight in forever," He didn't really count Halloween's little snit. It hadn't lasted more than five minutes anyway. "People fight, fighting makes the sex better, what's your point?"

He knew what Gael's point was, but really? What was he going to do about it? Heh. Better to just let it shrug off. "Besides, she's probably the only girl that would ever date me. It works out."

Gael gave Leon a look. "You haven't had sex. And people don't fight the way you two have. I mean, a fight every once in a while, sure, but you guys can get nasty..."

He shook his head again, this time sadly. "That's not true... I mean, yeah. You can be a bit of a dick. You're my brother and everything, but to other people you're definitely an ass." He would have said 'I love you' but they're guys. Guys don't do that.

"This is so not what I was intending to talk about, douche." He snorted a little, before looking back at Gael. "Look, I know you don't like her, but fuck...Michi's not exactly my favorite person either, Gael. I've said shit all about her. Would it kill you to try to be nicer to my girlfriend? Regardless of your opinion?"

He stopped an turned about to look at his brother, a curious expression on his face. "Besides, who the hell really enjoys spending time with me?"

Gael sighed. Leon did have him there. Though he didn't appreciate Leon's comment about Michi. Michi and Addy were totally different... For some reason though, Gael just couldn't wrap his head around being nice to Adelaide. "I'm sorry, I just..." He sighed again, bringing his free hand up to his face, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Fine. Maybe if I spend time with her in mixed company it'll be easier."

He raised an eyebrow at his twin. "I do? Janis does."

"You two? Have known me too long." He snorted, bouncing a little on the balls of his feet to keep warm. "Though...I had coffee with AB today. It was sort of weird."

Weird in the sense that they'd actually had a pleasant conversation.

"So? We both still enjoy your company." Both eyebrows went up when he heard that. Not in disbelief, but in interest. Last he knew, Leon and AB weren't friends.

"Bad weird, or good weird?"

"Just...weird, weird." He said with a shrug before squinting at something in the dark. Taking the torch from Gael he moved the light over what seemed to be an old, ratty cloak.

"....What the hell is this doing out here?"

"Yeah, but was it a weird you never want to have happen again, or one that would be okay to go through again?" He watched as Leon took the torch and then turned his attention to whatever it was that had caught Leon's.

He frowned. "...I have no idea." He walked over to it to carefully nudge it with his shoe.
