Let's see if this lives as long as a butterfly, eh?

Lou shook his head. "No. Can't. Not supposed to."

Leo sighed "I'm clean. I don't fuck girls without condoms. When can we fuck again?"
He got dressed, then gave her his shirt. "Yours is covered in vodka.. Sorry sexy." he kissed her neck, biting and sucking.

Persephone hissed, "That's my baby sister you're talking about. If you don't tell me, I swear to god you'll never see my face again."

Cassiopeia pushed him away, looking faintly disgusted, and pulled his shirt on.

Lou nodded, taking her hand and standing up, tugging at her. "Follow." was all he said, his eyes darting around the room.

Leo sighed. "Look, I just want an answer. Maybe I can come over tonight..?"

Persephone rolled her eyes, "Where are you taking me: MI5?"

Cassiopeia laughed, "Not a chance, sunshine."

Lou shrugged, "Walls listen. And the potatoes have knives." he tugged her to his car, pushing her into the passenger seat and getting in. "Don't be mad at them."

Leo pouted "You sure? I can't climb through the window?"

Persephone got out of the car instantly, "You're not driving."

Cassiopeia raised an eyebrow, "I would rather be assaulted by a bear than have you "pay me a visit"."

Lou scowled "I'm fine. I can drive better like this then when they aren't talking." he got out and shoved her into the drivers seat. "You drive then. Don't be mad at them. Please."

Leo sighed and opened the door. "Yeah sure. Come on. You sure you don't want to stay for a little bit longer?"

Persephone rolled her eyes and started the engine, taking a second to get used to the car, "Hm."

Cassiopeia strode out, "Perfectly certain."

Lou sighed. "Drive." he poked her "Drive!"

Leo sighed, getting on his bike and waiting for her. "Hurry up!"

Persephone smacked his hands away, "Don't make me end you."

Cassiopeia rolled her eyes and got on behind him.

Lou whimpered, hiding his face. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!"

Leo sped off, towards the woods. "Short cut!" he yelled over the roar of the motor.

Persephone looked exasperated as she pulled onto the road, "Where to?"

Cassiopeia narrowed her eyes, waiting for the right moment to jump off the bike and hopefully land somewhere soft and leafy.

Lou pointed straight. "Lake."

Leo stopped. "Stay here.." he went to move a branch out of the way, and jumped back on the bike after it was out if the way. "Okay!" he started the bike again and the trees turned into a green and brown blur.

Persephone groaned, "Fucking gingers." She drove towards the lake, calm but hurried.

Cassiopeia huffed.

Lou poked her again. "Don't be mad at them. Persephone please.."

Leo laughed, parking by a tree. "School or your house? Or my house if you want to get drunk or something."

Persephone growled, "Stop fucking poking me."

Cassiopeia rolled her eyes, "Back to school."

Lou retracted his hand, his brown eyes huge and fearful.

Leo nodded and drove to school, taking an unused road and parking in the back lot. "Okay.. Tomorrow same time?"

Persephone sighed, ignoring him until they reached the lake.

Cassiopeia deigned not to answer, getting off the bike and going into school.

Lou opened the door and got out after she parked, walking over to open her door and tugging her out. "Persephone.. I'd be the perfect boyfriend you know.. I'd cook for you, and clean and I'd always be there for you. And I couldn't get you pregnant if we ever had sex. Will you just consider it?!" he begged, leading her to the shack.

Leo sighed, watching her leave. "Okay then! Bye babe!"

Cassiopeia felt a rush of guilt and turned back. She hugged him and kissed his cheek, whispering, "Thank you.", before going back inside.

The last vestiges of playfulness fell from Persephone's eyes and her voice was cold and harsh as she said, "You repel me."

Leo genuinely smiled and walked back into school with a smile.

Lou dropped her hand like it was red hot. "P-Persephone? What did I do?" he looked confused and hugged himself.

Cassiopeia went to her locker in the hope that there were clothes there.

Persephone looked incredulous, "You think that what you're doing is normal?"

Leo walked to his math class, still smiling.


Lou closed his eyes and took a few steps back. "I-.. They wanted me to tell you." he whispered before running off into the woods.

Cassiopeia changed into a snug grey shirt and went to music.

Persephone sighed, "Brilliant, there goes my ride."

Leo snagged a hoody from his locker and zipped it up, remembering ow tight his little red head had been with a grin.

Lou walked back, looking much calmer and smoking a joint. "You should give me a chance, I'd be good to you." he muttered with a thick Jersey accent, his voice sounding huskier than normal. "C'mon, the shacks this way."
