“You realize this is completely foolish!”
“Why? It will totally hide your ears. We’ll just put sunglasses on you and no one will see your eyes!”
“Scott, I-”
“No. You promised you’d go with me!”
“I know, but I-”
“No buts! I really want you to go, Please, please please please please.” He whined out like a 2 year old.
The fae simply let himself laugh and shook his head. He pulled the hoodie off of his head and Scott pouted. A flash of blue and his ears had rounded off and his eyes were a static deep chocolate brown. His skin darkened slightly, mimicking the texture of Scott’s.
The blonde’s mouth dropped open. “Are you kidding me!? Why didn’t you tell me you could do that!!!”
“You wouldn’t let me speak. I tried.” He grinned at him.
Scott lifted him into his arms spinning him around. “You really are the hottest boyfriend ever.” He smiled down at the boy against him “I love you.” He kissed the tip of his nose and Mitch giggled.
“Come, lets get going. I want to see more of the hobbits.”
Scott shook his head. “We’re going to dinner first. TGIFridays is going to blow your mind.”
Mitch raised an eyebrow but kissed the side of Scott’s neck quickly. “Do I look normal now?”
“You will never, EVER be normal, babe, but that’s why I love you.”

The trip through the veil was like nothing he’d ever felt before. It was almost like what he imagined being in space was like, weightless and suffocating at the same time. Oryn held tight to his hand and once they were through they broke off into a run just as she'd instructed and they headed straight into the trees without stopping.
It was hard to keep up. The nimble female seemed to forget that he was human, and quite a clumsy one at that. He wanted to look around, to take in the wonder of the landscape as it zoomed past, the colors that were just so vivid. He caught a few glimpses of creatures he’d never seen before and some he tried to put together with descriptions Mitch had given him long ago. After what seemed like forever (at least to his lungs and his burning muscles, but in reality was only about 7 minutes) they reached the base of the largest tree he could ever imagine. It’s base stretched around reminding him a bit of a skyscraper, and he felt a bit like a mouse next to it. Oryn reached out a hand, whispering a few words as she let her palm rest on the rough surface, and quite suddenly his feet were off the ground. He nearly let out a scream but a hand covered his mouth before he could. He was glad he wasn’t afraid of heights, because the journey to the top felt endless. He kept expecting to feel lightheaded, but had to remind himself that this world was much different than his own. He let out a sigh of relief as he was gently placed back on his feet on a little makeshift ‘deck’, the limb that had carried him up moving back to its place amongst the others.
Oryn didn’t say a word, just walked inside of her home, a large hollow that the tree had fashioned just for her. He went to follow her but barely made it two steps inside before he was stopped by a small, rather round creature with little stubby legs, a stump for a tail and two very small horns poking out from the top of its head. It blinked at him with large, round brown eyes and hopped twice toward him, hissing as it’s blue body began to darken, shifting over to an angry red & tiny blue flames extended from it's nose as it huffed at him, clearly not happy to see the stranger.
