Shut it off.
It was a simple concept to Dirk. When he was told to shut off his emotions as a child, he did. He learned how to conceal everything behind a pair of shades and a stoic expression. Now, whenever some kind of emotion got in his way, instantly he would hold it back and shut it down. But there was an urge to let everything out.

Anger Issues ➳ Frerard
"You don't tell anyone what happened unless you wanna end up like that kid" --- Frank was shy and timid and didn't really bother anybody until one day when he walked into the wrong place at the wrong time. Then his life was pretty much threatened by one of the most dangerous kids in school. Gerard got mad easily-and when he got mad, you would fear for your life (well, probably not literally) but he was dangerous and got mad easily and all the time. Maybe it got out of hand when he wound up putting an innocent kid in the hospital almost killing him. Everyone scared of Gerard. Except maybe one kid. (Sorry, I just had to write another one; even though I know I'll regret it)Complete
Reject (mxm)
Paranormal Romance (Werewolf) You know that movie Jerry Maguire? It's about this sports agent who got fired for suddenly having a conscience. Anyway, there's this very romantic scene by the end of the movie when Jerry made this very heartfelt and passionate declaration to his wife. Those words would melt you into a puddle and make you burst into tears thinking, "I want to have that kind of love!" Well that very sweet scene did not happen on this story, not all of it anyway. Don't get me wrong it was heart wrenching, very much so, and there was a passionate declaration. But instead of saying the oh so loving, oh so sweet and oh so scripted "I love you. You complete me..." like Jerry did in the movie, my 'mate', the other half of my soul and the one who 'completes' me said, "I hate you. I wish you were dead!" He said it with disgust and anger burning in his eyes. He didn't run into my arms like he was supposed to, he ran away from it. But who could blame him? Jerry Maguire was right. We live in a cynical world and we work on a business of tough competitors. Why would my mate want to be with me? He'd be shunned and be forever laughed at. Aside from the fact that I was male, I'm basically useless to him because I'm a werewolf who can't phase. He's an alpha. He could have anyone he wants. And me, well, I'm on the bottom of the pack, the runt of the litter. The council didn't know what to do with me. They couldn't kill me since it could drive my mate insane, even if he didn't want me. I can't kill myself because it would probably have the same effect on him. I have to live but I can't be with my mate and my pack. So I made it easier for everyone, I ran away. I always believed in the saying "Out of sight, out of mind." What I didn't consider was the possibility that they'd come after me and forcefully bring me back.Complete
Believe
We didn't want to believe in her, so she started to die. That's when it all started... What happens when we give up? Our fantasy, our dreams, they would be forever forgotten. Our reality, our life, that would go away eventually, too. And other things, like light, dark, emotions... you get the idea, would leave with it. In a world where Personificationites, or things that our brains interpret, (fantasy, reality, light, dark, emotions, and other stuff) are LIVING, when this happened, they would start to die. Because Fantasy would be lost first, that would lead to a domino effect. So, the Personificationites need to save Fantasy. But how do you make someone believe? And how can you save the world without even knowing who you are? #26 in AdventureComplete

Leda's Plea
Plea /plē/ Noun. A request made in an urgent and emotional manner. Marcus Aurelius once said you have power over your mind- not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. I've always lived by that quote, until it was twisted around in a debilitating way. The power of my mind has been held hostage by a seed of culpability which the outside events have planted. How does one destroy something for which one has created without taking a piece of them along with it? I simply don't know. But I heard once that there are no easy answers, but there are simple ones. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.Complete
