Turner watched as everyone filed in and smiled, she enjoyed that there were new people around even if they were a little too ….out there. The dark-haired girl sipped a little more wine as she watched as everyone was finally clothed. The music was now just a soft background noise adding some kind of vibe to the room. Her eyes traveled to ‘curly’ who had chosen to wear her exes clothes. She expected to be upset to see the clothes worn again especially by another man but she didn’t, she didn’t know what she felt but she definitely wasn’t upset by the sight. Especially the fact the shirt wasn’t buttoned. Turner closed her eyes tightly, what was she thinking?

Pouring herself more of the magic liquid she was about to walk over to the others when turner noticed ‘curly’ making his way over to her. Sucking in a deep breath she then proceeded to quickly finish off the glass she would need it. As soon as he approached she felt a buzz, which was odd as the wine usually didn’t affect her that quickly. She watched as he leaned against the table and proceeded to ask her where her bedroom was.

Turner had no clue why but she had this weird urge to….please him? So she did. ” Down the hall to the righ-” the words just floated out of her mouth and she cleared her throat, surprised by her own….behavior? Before she could speak again he lowered his voice and turner had to strain to listen. The dark-haired girl listened to his flirtatious
Comment. Usually Turner would scoff and walk away but she responded with comeback, “ Well you see, i was considering to let you-’ she looked him up and down. “ Sleep in my room, because the living room is just sooo uncomfortable” she looked over at the man, flirtatiously biting her lower lip, quickly
Averting her gaze she continued “ But after that, statement i don’t know if I can trust you to
….Behave” turner winked at the curly-headed guy, before she could say anymore the bell rang. Pizza

Moving away from eros she made her way to the door and paid for the pizza, turning to the group she lifted the pizza in the air, as if it was a trophy she won “ Dinner
Has arrived ! smiling she placed it on the table before dishing out plates.

Aj chuckled at his statement, lifting her head up she grinned. "Of course." she joked, laying her head on the counter while she listened to everyone chat. Her eyes were drawn towards a box she had seen many times before labeled 'bonfire material' a frown etched its way across her face as she glanced towards Turner. Her heart always ached for her best friend, knowing she'd been horribly hurt by her past love. Aj knew it had to take alot to allow the men to use the clothes.

Moving to get closer to Turner, she wrapped her arms around the older girl's waist. Burying her face into her chest. "You smell really good." she mumbled, hoping to somehow make the girl feel a bit better. Giving Turner a small wink, Aj released the girl.

Deciding to change from her ripped jeans and tank top, she headed back to her messy room. Plopping on the bed, she sighed as the covers warmed her. Letting out a groan, moving away from the bed she stumbled over the clothes that littered her floor. Before spotting a pair of shorts and a sweatshirt, sitting back on her bed. Her fingers fumbled with the buttons on her pants, before dejectedly giving up. Slipping on the sweater, Aj took another shot at unbuttoning her pants.

Letting out a yell in protest as she tried drunkenly ripping them off. Falling back onto her bed, she let her arms outstretch from her sides. Looking at the strung up lantern lights hanging from her ceiling alongside the glow n the dark stars she put up with June. June!! That's who could help her, "June!! I need your help." she yelled, waiting for the girl to arrive.

june casually barged open the door with a smile and a joking "honey, i'm home!" before leading the boys in a way resembling a mother duck. however, june's carefree smile that had been adorning her face soon fell as her blue eyes caught the box. the box that she and turner had been meaning to burn as one of those fake "break up" ritual bonfires. the box that contained an entire relationship that tore t apart. and she knew how much it must tear her apart now just bringing it out of the depths of her closet. and before she could shoot turner a sympathetic look, the men were already at it looking for clothes. and surprisingly, they all fit. maybe, the thought, it could be magic. or-- they were all ridiculously hot and fit just like the guy turner had managed to catch a few months prior. and with that thought juniper made her way over to the brunette, pulling her in for a tight hug. and still, careful not to spill any wine on her. don't drink all the wine. god knows i need some of that too! she told her with a wink. just before turning back around to face the men, she heard aj come in with a bag of clothes.

after a quick hug and the assurance that the youngest of the three had indeed made it to and fro 100% safely, she ruffled her hair. do you want an asprin before you eat, love? she asked aj. not even waiting for a reply, because arlo knew that june would make her take it, no matter what the brunette made her way into the nearest bathroom and retrieved two white pills. and on her way back, she made a quick pitt stop at the kitchen to fill a glass with water. but when j turned around, aj was not there anymore. her blue eyes were still searching the apartment when she heard her name being hollered over the faint noise in the living room. oh god... she whispered before making her way to her "little sister's" room. before she could even set down the contents in her hand, a fit of laughter left her mouth. aj, in her intoxicated state, had gotten stuck in her jeans. arlo jane, i swear to god. you are much more work than a puppy. she said teasing the younger girl. after helping aj into the pair of shorts that were left on the bed, she reminded her to take the asprin. you'll feel much better, hon. just take it and then come out to eat. i hear turner ordered pizza! as if on cue, a ring was heard throughout the loft followed by t's confirmation that it was indeed the food.

juniper flew out of aj's room. oh thank god. i'm starving! she let out in an exasperated huff as turner paid the delivery man. she could see by t's smug look on her face and curly's not so happy glance that something had gone down. but honestly, june was too hungry to think about it. nevermind asking about it. so, she got out paper plates, cups, and napkins. setting them all out on the counter before helping herself to a slice of pizza. finally, being able to relax she shot a look around at the guys. her blue gaze finally landing on jerkface. and although he was not too kind to her, he had to be one of the most gorgeous men she'd even seen. and the fact that he didn't see the need to put on a shirt, made this fact more painfully obvious. juniper hadn't even noticed that her mouth was slightly open until she reminded herself of one of her favorite movie lines. "close your mouth, michael, we are not a cod fish". she thought thinking to her favorite movie, marry poppins. what a shocker, i know she followed the advice from the magical nanny and closed her mouth. grabbing the wine bottle turner had opened, she filled a red solo cup almost to the top, and took a big gulp. she was right, she would need a lot more wine. and juniper, was too much of a lightweight.

in a few minutes, the previous sober june, was replaced by her not so sober counter part. and a drunk june was a loud and giggly june. after a few more bites of pizza, she started laughing hysterically. something about how wine was "sooo good even though it's made of old grapes. like raisin juice" her eyes drifted from her food and to the boys. she was currently sitting down or rather draped over one of the armchairs in the living room and her solo cup had just recently recieved a refill. so you guys seriously just fell down from the sky? she asked setting down her empty, grease stained, paper plate. she studied their faces for any sign of lies. not that she would be able to recognize them in her current state anyways. she shrugged and took another gulp, this time drowning down all the liquid from the red plastic. aww t! i just love this song! care to turn it up? juniper asked as she got up off the chair and started dancing. man, they should've spent more time in the club tonight. she thought as one of her hands ran through her hair.

xxeros raised his eyebrows, surprised that turner was actually telling him where her bedroom was. he wasn’t complaining, though. he smirked slightly, making a mental note. as she continued speaking, however, eros found himself almost leaning in to her, drawn in by her words and sudden change of attitude. he watched as she bit her lip, and his eyes became glued to her mouth, fixated by the soft, pink curves of her lips as they moved. it was then that he realized that he was being played at his own game. eros felt oddly frozen in place, as if he didn’t quite know what to do, his brain humming with static. he hated feeling this way—it was such a foreign sensation to him. he was so baffled by it that he almost didn’t notice when turner quit talking, but he managed to catch the last word of her sentence. regaining his wits, he smiled slyly. “behave?” he said. “oh, i’ll behave, sweetheart. unless, of course, you don’t want me to.” he winked back at her, but it was at that moment that a bell sounded, echoing through the loft, and turner whisked herself away from their conversation. he bit his lip, watching as she walked away. damn. that was some girl.

xx‘pizza’ turned out to be a round disk of dough covered with cheese and red sauce. when he bit into a slice, he nearly cried from the sheer joy of just how delicious it was. it may have only been so good because of the fact that he was very hungry or because he couldn’t remember the last thing he ate, but it was unnecessarily tasty nonetheless. he was halfway through his second piece when june asked the men a question. he would’ve answered, but his mouth was full, so he just nodded in response. that was at least the story they were going with, falling from the sky. he couldn’t remember everything, but what eros could remember seemed to make sense only in that scenario.

xxfinished with his pizza, eros left his spot and once again went to join turner. the music was louder now, and june, clearly tipsy, was up and dancing, which looked like fun. eros, though, didn’t have to be intoxicated to have a good time. he grabbed turner’s hand, spinning her around and inviting her to dance with him.

Ares watched as everyone got somewhat situated he sat on the couch his arms still draped on the back. When the one named turner announced there was pizza, but Ares didn’t get up to get any of the delicious food. He was rather nauseous especially with the fact that according to these girls, they fell from the sky and not to mention he has no idea who he is.

Ares was brought out of his trance when he felt a pair of eyes on him, looking around his eyes landed on the one named June. She was staring at him her mouth slightly agape, he couldn’t deny that he liked the fact that the Girl’s eyes were on him, he looked back at her biting his lower lip rather flirtatiously before sending a wink.

Not too much later, the girl was going on about how good wine was. Raising a brow Ares shot a look her way before noticing the odd glow about her, she wasn’t in her right mind and certainly ‘wine drunk’. Then she went on to talk about how they ‘fell out of the sky?’. The man shook his head before letting out a chuckle. “ Well according to your friend Turner, we did. And I don’t know-how. So you can drop it sugar “ . He glanced at the girl,
With a rather stern look. He didn’t really want to talk about their odd entrance. Ares stood up before looking for something a bit stronger than Wine.

The curly-haired man sighed as he chugged his third….he didn’t exactly know what he was drinking but it was certainly doing the trick as the room grew a little happier? And he became less stressed about the whole situation, and not to mention his eyes kept wandering to June, who had now started to dance as if she was back at the club. Before he knew what was happening Ares was making his way towards June. Soon he started to dance as well. His
Mind becoming quite foggy as the music went on, he placed a hand on June’s hip not really paying attention to what he was doing as he continued to dance with the beauty before him.

Turner had just finished her second slice of pizza when June started to make it evident that she was indeed tipsy. Starting with her declaring how good the wine was and secondly and very giggly asked the boys if they just fell from the sky. “ That’s what I saw June” she pursed her lips as her best friend started to dance. She furrowed her brows “ Maybe you should just get to be-”, turner cut herself off as one of the boys joined in with June, getting a little too close for Turners taste, but before she could cut him off from June she was tugged from her spot and spun around before coming face to face with ‘Curly’.

Turner scoffed but didn’t pull away from him, looking up at the quite handsome man she puffed her bottom lip out, “ And here i thought i scared You off” she emphasized you, by jabbing her finger against his chest. She looked up to meet his gaze and the music grew softer and everything around her became blurred, only was he in focus. Instead of removing her finger from his chest she uncurled the others and pressed her hand against his chest. It was as if she was mesmerized, unable to break away, her mind was just filled with him, “ H-h- how? Turner stuttered softly and almost inaudibly. Whatever was happening she didn’t want it to stop she wanted to be devoured by it. Her gaze still locked onto his Turner pressed into her toes and leaned in.

Before she was able to lock lips with him, the music came rushing back in and turner came to her senses. Quickly removing her hand and stepping slightly away from him she avoided his gaze, “ I’m sorry ... I should go”

xxthe corners of eros’s mouth turned up ever so slightly. “you couldn’t scare me off,” he assured her. he felt her finger on his bare chest, then her whole hand and it was warm against his skin. he gently grabbed her hand, running his thumb along her slender wrist, where he could feel her pulse quickening. his own heart was on the verge of racing, and his entire body felt like it was humming with energy. this wasn’t necessarily a result of turner’s actions (though the way she looked at him wasn’t exactly causing the sensation to stop), but it seemed to be the opposite—the stronger this feeling got in eros, the more turner seemed to react to him in the way that he wanted. he didn’t know what was making this possible, but even if he did, he couldn’t say that he would’ve put an end to it.

xx“how?” he heard her say, looking every bit as confused as he felt. the left corner of eros’s mouth turned up, his eyes sparkling mischievously. “i’m just irresistible,” he said. turner was about to kiss him—they were so close that eros could feel her breath on his lips—when suddenly, the buzzing energy within him stopped and she pulled away, avoiding looking at him. eros knit his eyebrows together. “no, it’s fine. i shouldn’t have—” he stopped himself, taking a moment to study turner. she didn’t seem mad or uncomfortable so much as...sad. “are you okay?” he watched helplessly as turner seemed to shut down, unsure of just what had happened between them.

june's vision was blurry. lines weren't straight and faces were almost not recognizable. and frankly, she didn't care. she had been the strict one for the past hour and that drained her. juniper was usually carefree. a hopeless romantic who worked at a flower shop with her parents. the kind of girl who really, had never been in any sort of long term or even committed relationship. she yearned for true love, but honestly, at this point, any relationship would be nice. the brunette was so used to living through books and movies that she never really experienced anything in real life. these men coming into their lives was the most eventful thing that had happened to her in well over a decade. so, she wanted to enjoy it. sure, she had some worries about letting them into their home. they were five strangers. but the fact of the matter was, that she never really saw them capable of hurting the girls. and so, she let go of all those worries in her mind and kept on dancing.

it was only when she felt a pair of hands grip her hips slightly that she noticed others had succumbed to her lead. jerkface, although his face was angelic, stood behind her. smiling as he danced along. man, she needed to give him a new name. the music and the conversations around the room melted away. becoming white noise in the background. june spun around to face him before coming face to face with his chest. she had quite forgotten that the brunet in front of her had opted out of wearing a shirt from turner's bonfire material box or from the clothes that arlo had gotten them. she felt her cheeks getting a tad pink, "probably the wine" she thought, her hands seemingly having minds of their own as she reached up and tousled his dark hair. you know, juniper started. her blue eyes staring into his. i need something to call you. i keep referring to you as jerkface in my mind, but i don't think that's very accurate. she said softly. is it? she asked as she looked up at the man in front of her.

Ares was quite enjoying dancing with the woman, not paying much attention to the people around them, and didn’t notice that June had turned to face him. He practically melted as she tousled his hair but he fought to keep his composure or what was left of it in his drunken state. He laughed after she spoke about referring to him as jerkface. “ I don’t know what my name is…. he practically purred as he reached out and tucked a piece of loose hair behind her ear, “ But it also depends, if you want me to be this ‘ jerkface’ or if you want something else” .

The music flooded Ares’ ears and he closed his eyes letting himself get lost, little did he know quite practically. When his eyes opened he wasn’t at the loft, the music was gone. He looked down and June was gone along with his pants which had been replaced with a tunic. He narrowed his gaze and then he heard a feminine voice. “ Ares, you can’t Just keep flaking” he looked up for some reason responding to the name. Before him stood a beautiful woman who looked rather ticked at him.
“ Ares Eros keeps asking where you are, he misses you” her gaze turned soft as she glanced over at the small boy who clung to the fabric of her dress, the small boy also strangely had wings that shined like gold. He narrowed his eyes at the sight, Before he could respond the scene faded away and he was back at the loft dancing with June.

Ares, shook his head. Whatever had just happened was something he would have to figure out later, but now he just wanted to focus on one thing and that was June. He gazed down at the beautiful goddess before him, and removed his hands from her hips before grabbing her hand and spinning her out then pulling her close to him, quite close. He smirked as he looked down at the girl, “ You are so beautiful, you rival Aphrodite-” Ares furrowed his brow as the words tumbled out his mouth, realizing how odd they sounded. Especially the name, he looked away for a second before bringing his eyes back to June only to see the woman from before standing in her place. “ What the hell!” he stumbled back before practically falling over the couch and slamming his head against the table causing the world to go dark.

Turner brought her gaze to the ceiling as she tried to process what had just happened. Turner was never one to make the first move and the fact that she had almost kissed him was totally out of character for her, but a second ago she felt as if she had no control over what she was doing, it was like he was controlling her. It wasn’t the slight buzz she had or the small attraction she had toward him it was almost a supernatural pull.

Taking a deep breath the girl brought her gaze back to curly as he asked if she was okay, she searched his face as if it had some answers or hidden secrets. She narrowed her eyes as her mind formed some kind of connection. It hit her like a train, she had seen him before. Turner crossed her arms before addressing the man. “ So you don’t remember anything? Do you even know your name?” she spoke, Because I might . Not waiting for his answer she wandered over to the small bookcase over by the tv. Her eyes wandered over the wooden bookcase looking for a book she hadn’t read in a long time.

Her eyes landed on the golden binding and she quickly pulled it from the shelf, A guide to the Greek pantheon . Flipping to the page she had read many times before due to her fascination with the myths. this is crazy she thought as she skimmed the page until she found a picture of the statue of Eros with his mother Aphrodite. A small gasp escaped her lips as she saw curly staring back at her from the page of the book. No way , no way . Turner slammed the book shut before turning and glaring at Eros.

The girl now filled with anger that he used His magic love voodoo on her and the fact that “ they didn’t know who they are” that was all crap. She glanced over at June, and the man who she still didn’t know who he was. Making her way back over to Eros, she continued to glare at him as she grabbed a handful of his shirt and pulled him closer to her so only he could hear. “ I can't believe you lied to me! Using your magic love voodoo or whatever to get me to do what you wanted ...Eros, that's right i know who you are!” finishing she huffed and released the god before she opened the book to his page pointing to the picture she shoved it in his face. “ You better not lie to me again or you can get the hell out of my house” Turner stated with a huff.

Aj nodded as June helped her into much more comfortable clothes, letting out a sigh as she took the aspirin. Perking up at the sound of food being mentioned, she got up quickly. Heading into the kitchen, she hummed along to the music that drifted through the room. Grabbing a piece of the pizza Turner had ordered, she decided to grab her phone and head out to the small balcony they had. Slipping out hoping to be unnoticed, she bit into the greasy yet oh-so delightful pizza. Switching on her playlist, she leaned back into the door while humming along to the sounds of Frank Ocean as they echoed from the device. The spinning in her head seemed to disappear as the medicine began to kick in.

The sound of yelling drifted from inside to where the girl sat, debating on whether or not to get up. She decided to stay and look at the city lights for a bit longer, they were alluring to her. Besides, a part of her knew that this would be the last relaxing moment she'd get before being called back inside. Snuggling deeper into her hoodie, she closed her eyes just focusing on the music. Missing the vibes she'd gotten from the club, she wanted to go back and dance some more.

The cold breeze kept her awake while she sat out there, her legs shivered yet she made no move to head inside. After they all had moved in here, Aj had decided this would be her 'spot', she would sit out here for hours if anything was troubling her or if she just needed to relax. The girls understood what it had meant to her and when to leave her be, it was nice. Now they'd have to deal with the strange men in their living room, she wondered where they came from. Maybe they were aliens? Turner seemed to have an idea on whom they might be, maybe she should ask her.

xxeros shook his head. “no,” he said. “i have absolutely no recollection of who i am.” he watched in confusion as turner turned and went over to a bookshelf on the other side of the room. his curiosity getting the better of him, eros followed her. he tried to catch a glimpse of what it was she was reading, but she had the book angled just right so that only she could see. and then, once again, seemingly out of nowhere, turner’s mood took a turn, this time much worse than the last. eros squirmed uncomfortably under the strength of her glare, wondering what he possibly could have done to earn such a look. and why only after she’d searched through this book? what was in there? eros was taken off-guard when turner suddenly seized him by the shirt and pulled him down to her level. “you know, you’re a lot prettier up close,” he said. however, she was also angry, which gave her a scarier aura, but somehow that made her even hotter? he listened to her words and let out a snort. “magic love voodoo?” he asked, making sure he’d heard her right. “i have no idea what you’re talking about. that’s the most ridiculous—“

xxbefore he could finish, a picture of him was being shoved in his face and the strangest thing happened. the room and music around him faded and gave way to a more heavenly landscape. looking down, eros saw that his clothes had morphed into a tunic, and something was in his hand. a bow. and across his back was slung a quiver full of arrows. across from him, turner had changed into a different person entirely. strangely enough, she was now the blond man that had been among the men found in the alley, who was dressed similarly to himself. he was saying something. ”your archery skills are nothing compared to mine.” almost involuntarily, eros thought, we’ll see about that, apollo... and then the scene changed. eros was nocking an arrow and aiming it at the blond man’s back. he let the arrow fly, and it found its way to the blond man without a hitch. then, he watched as the man fell hopelessly in love with a young nymph, and he knew he’d accomplished his mission. wait, what? can i do that?

xxeros blinked and the vision dissipated. he shakily ran his fingers through his hair, feeling panicked. he looked at turner, and this time it was his turn to take hold of her. her grabbed her arms. “did you see that?” he asked, hoping desperately that she had. if not, insanity was always an option.
