The Dunbar brothers meet for the first time.
August 20 2015
Beacon Hills - 10 Linda Vista Drive
☀It's been a few days now since the blood link locator spell lead him to this part of California, he's apparently in somewhere called Beacon Hills, the spell was supposed to lead him to his father and better have worked, lack of fund meant he had to hitch-hike his way here which took a while, guess folks don't wanna pick up fifteen year olds, not the normal folks anyways. After asking around he's finally found the only house in town linked with anyone called Dunbar, glad too, it's starting to get dark and since that night, really not a fan, dropping his bag by the side of the house he takes a deep breath and steps forward knocking on the door.
The young werewolf has been home alone all day, and well working out his boyfriend has been busy so he's been doing pull up and such. He blinks as the doorbell rings and hops up to answer it. He walks down stairs and opens the door to see the strange teen in front of him, "Yeah?" Seems normal right? The only problems is he'd been all ready to Skype with Ethan and was wearing a black speedo that matches his boyfriend's black leather jacket and that's all. So he's answered the door with a perfectly normal looks on his face with a leather jacket and a speedo.
Grey raises an eyebrow at the other teen answering the door, one he expected an adult, two he did not expect someone dressed like a rather niche stripper and three he kinda smells funny, kinda like this one type of scent he was picking up a lot near the woods and the high school. Recovering from the oddness he nods, "Err hey, is there a guy named Dunbar living here?"
Liam Dunbar still doesn't realize how he's dressed , "Uh yeah I'm Liam Dunbar?" He tilts his head a little confused after all who would look for him by his last name.His tilted head touched that leather jacket and made him look down. Sudden he has his ashamed oh crap look and um tries to cover up... with out much avail, not that he's exactly indecent. After all if he was on the swim team he'd actually be wearing less in from of the whole school... still this was /awkward/.
Grey watches as Liam tries to cover up and realising the guy might be a relative tries to help out, taking a step back and reaching round he pulls a pair of sweat pants out of his bag, "You wanna put these on?", he offers holding them out. Continuing he tries not to think how this Liam might be related to him, one family panic at a time, "Is there a Mr. Dunbar about Liam? I kinda need to talk to him".
Liam Dunbar isn't going to accept strange sweat pants from strangers... instead he yells, "One sec!" as he runs just slightly out of view of the door and a second later he's back and pulling on gym shorts and a muscle shirt as he goes. He for his part isn't used to using his nose so while Grey smells a little odd he doesn't know what it means, "I uh no um I'm the only Dunbar here, My mom remarried, and my stepdad's name is Dr Geyer. I uh think you have the wrong house?"
As Liam slips off Grey puts the sweat pants back in his bag, he looks visibly disappointed when he's told there's no other Dumbars living there, this is where the spell lead him. "Oh, ok sorry for bothering you, if you happen to have any relatives under Dunbar can you tell them I'm looking for my dad? My name's Grey Dunbar".
Liam Dunbar rubs the back of his head, "I uh don't really know anything about my dad. Far as I know he died before i was born in the army." He rubs the back of his head again, " Um his name was Alan? Um if you want you can come back when mom comes home?" He sniffs the air a bit just casually, "Uh want a bite to eat? I mean it'd just be like leftovers, but there's some chicken alfredo in the fridge." He was a nice guy and well he was all embarrassed so he wanted to make it up to the other guy.
Grey leans against the wall and slides down it into a crouched position as he's told the guy he came all this way to look for is dead, "He died? He was my last hope...". His attention is caught again by the offer of food, "Yes, please. I've not eaten in days, I'm starving", and maybe Liam's mom can point him in the direction of other Dunbars, he gets to his feet and then it hits him, "Wait, if he's your dad, does that make you... my brother?"
Liam Dunbar blinks at the starving and start to run to the kitchen to get the guy a power bar... then hears the comment about being a brother. And runs into the wall. Luckily he wasn't pissed or anything or he'd be through it. Instead he looks up from the ground with sparkles before his eyes and goes, "I uh.... Hi?... Wait Your dad was named Alan?" He stands up shaking his head and goes to a bookcase with the obligatory photo albums gets a REALLY old one, and pulls it out, " Um well it depends? Is this him?" He shows Grey a few pictures of his dad, "They'd only been married a few months when he went um away." Honestly he didn't believe it he'd tried to look his dad up to find the details but hadn't found anything at all and there was only one picture of his dad in uniform...
Grey winces when Lian runs into a wall, "You ok?", he waits a moment by the door for Liam to come back, looking at the photo, he remembers, "One sec", heading back to his bag he pulls out a picture of his dad he found in one of his mom's books, walking back he holds it next to the photo album, "Yeah, it's the same guy, so it is him", and he really is dead.
Liam Dunbar he bites his lip, "Uh definitely going to have to stay till my mom gets home... and um... He might not be... I mean... Mom told me that when i was a kid, but I've looked up for any Alan Dunbars in the army, cause that's an army uniform and there's nothing and mom doesn't have his social or anything... so...." He blinks a bit wondering why he's telling this kid everything, it could be a trick, but well all he smells is sadness and sincerity, "Anyway here." He throws Grey a power bar, then starts to reheat some leftovers for them both. But not before grabbing his phone and sending out a text.
Grey is on that power bar the second he catches it out of the air only just taking the time to open the thing, he nods to Liam, "Yeah I'll wait if thats ok and thank you for the food, a power bar has never tasted so good". He looks around seeing this is a really 'family' house, a house he might have just caused real trouble for, "I'm sorry to drop this all on you, I didn't know where else to go and Beacon Hills was the only place I knew he'd lived".
Liam Dunbar blinks again and pours his bro a big glass of soda and a big plate of pasta. Of course he eats almost as much himself, but he just realized he'd been working out for the last 6 hours... Anyway he replies, "Well um he never lived here... This is my Stepdad's place.. I mean he's my dad... but yeah." He sits down at first at the table then he rolls his eyes, "Uh... wanna up go up to my room and play some games maybe? No clue when anyone will be home." He's already thinking and sends another text.
Grey eats the pasta exactly how you'd expect someone who hadn't eaten in a few day to eat, "You're step-dad the guy in the Doctor's coat in that photo?", he nods to a photo on the wall as he continues eating, the guy looks like a nice guy, warm eyes, "Yeah sure, what game you got?", he's being fed and there may be some answers about, playing some video games while they wait sounds great, "You this nice to all the strangers who need help?"
Liam Dunbar rubs the back of his head, and bites his tongue he almost said his alpha rubbed off on him.. That would be awkward. Speaking of awkward wolfing out over a game would likely be a bad first impression so something light ..... "What about Smash brothers?" He then curses to himself he always gets pissed at that game, well he can game with his new brother without wolfing out right? "Well if you're my brother then I uh have a brother. Just um don't tell my boyfriend right now? Cause like his brother is missing and its kinda freaking him out." Wait did he really just admit to a complete stranger he has a boyfriend?
Grey nods, "Smash Bros works, dibs on link", he gets to his feet and nods again, "Yeah sure, I won't say anything, gotta suck having someone missing", Grey moves right past the boyfriend thing, he has lived in LA after all and hey, he's a demon of some kind so who the hell is he to judge, he almost considers mentioning the locator spell he used might work for Liam's boyfriend, but that would freak out a normal person.
Liam Dunbar leads Grey up to his room, which is perfectly normal and sits on the bed, Conveniently ignoring that his computer desktop is a picture of Ethan's shirtless flexing everything else looks like a normal straight boy's place. He turns it over to his Wii, granted his parents totally could afford a wii u, but with the amount of broken controllers, they figured it was cheaper not to bother. "Cool... So uh... we're brothers... I mean we do kinda look similar."
Grey follows Liam up to his room looking around as they go, "You've got a really nice place", he reaches out to pick up a control making sure not to crack it, he's a lot stronger now and it's taking some getting used to, "Yeah I guess we do, must be the sides that we take after the Dunbar sides, I'm I the only one finding it weird using the word brother, this is majorly knew, would've been nice if my mom gave me a heads up, rather then giving us both a sudden, 'hey, we've got a new brother each', not that I mind it, been feeling kind of isolated".
Liam Dunbar blinks a bit and suddenly realizes that he's NOT freaking out... Then again with everything he's been through in the last few months, finding out he has a new brother is meh. Of course he can't actually tell his brother that. He picks it up, "So How hard should we make the computer? And together or against each other?" He asks while his brain goes into over drive wanting to make sure he doesn't suddenly out himself as a werewolf, these things take time to come out.
Grey is very much in the same mindset as Liam, he's doing his best not to panic as it could make that other face show, new brother or not, dealing with a demon is asking too much. "Work together? High computer? See how good we are at working together?", still that smell is confusing him, Liam doesn't smell like other people does but then again, what the hell does that mean?
To be continued...
