Blitzstone Oneshots

The Resident Gays

That long one I swore was coming? Yeah. This ones not it. I totally lost motivation and the plot dead ended, so it would've sucked anyway.

School is more important than wattpad, so I have a lot less time to write.

I need to do other stuff too.

Lillian and Jinx are original characters and you will love them. I don't make the rules, but you are required to love them. I also have a stutter, like Lillian, but my experience with how it affects me may be different from yours if you have a stutter. I wrote hers like mine, where sometimes I get caught on a word/syllable like a broken record or my mouth just gets stuck.

Lillian had heard of this place. She had gotten lost several times in the neighborhood, but that would have been because it (the neighborhood, mostly, but the house too) was large and intimidating. The only reason she could identify the brownstone was because there were kids sitting out front.

There was one that had a hoodie with the agender flag on it, and that one was talking with someone with green hair and vibrant pink and green clothes. Those two looked like they were around the same age. A person with red hair and freckles slid down the railing repeatedly with a kid that couldn't have been older than nine. The door opened, and the green haired one- they seemed to be the leader- ushered everyone inside. For dinner maybe? It had been so long since Lillian had had a good dinner. Her stomach growled.

Come on, Lillian. She told herself. It's not a big deal, you're just going to ask for food and somewhere to stay. Still, her knees shook. A former "gifted child", she was still not used to needing to ask for help. A couple years or so on the streets hadn't really changed that.

She steeled her courage, and speed walked to the steps before she could change her mind. Just as she was about to knock, the door flew open.

The person with the agender flag hoodie stood in the doorway, and they grinned at her lopsidedly. "I was wondering when you were going to get here! I was talking to Alex about you earlier. Hungry?"

Lillian flinched, taken aback by this person's excitement. "Uh, ye-"

"Great. I'll show you around, then we'll go to dinner and I'll introduce everyone. Uh, starting with myself. I'm Jinx, I use they/them pronouns, I'm fifteen, and I shall be your guide today." Jinx took a bow, offered her a hand, and pulled her inside, shutting the door behind her in one fluid motion. It was enough time to register that they were around the same age as her, and that made her feel better. "I know you'll have questions, and that's what I'm here for! I've been here the longest- although on and off, as shelters are- besides the adults, so I see all and know all."

"Hi. Um, okay. I'm L- l-" she recognized that she was stuck, and had almost deadnamed herself, so she stopped to move on. "Bleh, sorry. I'm Lillian. I use she/her pronouns, and I'm 14. I'll be 15 in..." She tried to remember what day it was. "Uh, four m- mo- m- months . First ques- first que- question, how did you know I was coming?"

"We've seen you walking around, and no offense, but you look pretty homeless. Blitz wanted to go talk to you and invite you, but Magnus and Alex told him no. Hearth did too. It's like the only thing he and Blitz have ever argued about. Magnus, Alex, and Hearth wanted to see you walk up to the door yourself. They also thought you wouldn't trust them, and I backed them up on that."

"Well, you were right. I definitely wou- wouldn't have trus- have tru- have trusted you. Second question, who are those people?"

"Magnus is related to the lady who technically owns the place, her uncle left it to her when he died. Magnus is blond and really looks like Kurt Cobain. You know, the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" guy? Magnus has grey eyes though. Alex is the green haired terror you saw me talking to earlier, and he's pretty great. He's also genderfluid. Just wait for him to tell you what gender he is at the time. He and Magnus are together, so don't go getting any ideas." Jinx joked. "Blitzen (Who does not like when people ask him "like the reindeer?" so just don't.) and Hearth- I haven't mentioned him yet- are the resident gays, because they're here more often than Magnus and Alex. It's your lucky day, though, because they're all here. Blitz is a short-ish black guy (he's, like, five foot five? I don't know, I haven't measured him), and he cannot cook. Like, at all. We only trust him with the microwave and sometimes soup. He runs a clothing store that we work at sometimes. Hearth, who is his boyfriend, is about a foot taller than Blitz, really pale, and has this weird bag of Norse dominos he doesn't go anywhere without. He's a much better cook, though." As they said this, they started walking.
