into the shop, looking over the shelves/
looked up from his book and smiled a bit in greeting. "I just got a shipment of imported sweets if you like those."
blinks, 'How could you tell?' He laughs, making his way over to the counter.
smiled a bit as he jumped down from the counter, setting his book on a shelf behind it before he went to fetch the box he hadn't gotten out
on the shelves yet. "I find more and more people like the imported stuff better."
ahhs, 'And here I was thinking you could tell I wasn't from around these parts.' He peers over, trying to get a peek at the box. 'You're_
right though, Foreign stuff is better than what America has to offer.'
had been able to notice that, but it was easier just to say he didn't. He pulled out the different boxes and arranged them on the counter,
it was mostly stuff from the UK a few other things from Turkey and the like countries.
picks through it, eyes widening at all the different bars. It was enough to distract him from the odd aura that clung to the other, 'Don't_
happen to have any short bread do you?' he asks, looking over the pile. He was already picking out a few which he would definitely need to_
thought for a moment before he smiled and nodded, "I made some the other day." He went to the glass cabinet and pulled two different trays
out. "One I shipped in," he pointed to the one tray. "The other I made." He shrugged a bit as he set them out.
looks like he could fall in love with the other. 'You made some? Can I try?' he peers at them both, eyes straying to Matt's Tray. Home made_
laughed a bit and nodded again, "of course." He moved to get a small knife and carefully cut a small piece, putting it on a napkin and
handing it to him. "Here you go."
tries it, humming in delight. He hadn't had homemade shortbread in such a long time. 'Marry me?' he jokes, 'Or you could just let me buy_
the whole tray.' He smiles brightly, definitely glad he'd decided to pop in.
flushed in embarrassment as he nodded and carefully started to pack up some of the short bread. "How much do you want?"
hums, thinking he looked rather good with a bit of colour in his cheeks. He seemed far too pale before, 'Well... how about half of the tray?
I don't want to take it all away from you...' Although he would like to. He picks up a couple of other sweets, placing them on the counter._
carefully packed up half the tray in a box for him, wrapping it up neatly when he was done. "No worries, I can always make more." He put the
trays away and packed up the other things the man wanted. "So how long have you been here?"
, 'Not long... maybe half a year. I'm only just now getting around to exploring the area.' He delays pulling out his wallet, just for the_
moment. 'How long have you been away from Canada?' he asks in return.
looks a bit startled at the question, "oh... um... no one's noticed that before." He smiled a bit, "about two years, I took over the shop
nods, looking around. 'Some people can't tell the difference huh? It's a nice place... was it worth the move?' Now that he's had time_
to get over the import high he notices something slightly off about the other. He wasn't quite tied to this plane as much as he should have_
shrugs a bit at that as he finally remembered to ring up everything, finally giving him the total. "It... I guess. It's different."
sighs, pulling out his wallet. He gives the other his money, smiling. 'Maybe you could show me around?' he asks with a grin, 'Show me what's
takes the money and blinked at that. People didn't normally bother talking to him. "O-Oh, um sure if you want... though I'm not sure I'll be
very good at it." He counted out his change carefully and handed it to him along with the bag.
smiles, 'I'm sure you will be fine.' He thanks him for the bag and change yet still stands there, 'What's your name?'
didn't really realize he was stalling, "ah Matthew Williams." He held his hand out to him politely. "What's you're name?"
takes his hand, giving it a small Squeeze. 'Gregory McDougal...' He shakes the hand lightly, perhaps letting the hold linger a little too_
long, half out of curiosity over who he is, half because he kind of wants to get into his pants. 'So when would you be able to show me about
?' he asks with a cheeky grin, finally letting go.
noticed the hold was a bit longer than it should have been, but he brushed the thought off as soon as it cropped up. The question made him
blink before he smiled. "Oh, um... well if you've got time I can close the shop now. It's not like I'll get any one else coming in today."
blinks, 'Really? I don't want you to loose any business though...' He looks around... the shop was kind of empty but, 'Who knows who'll_
stumble across this little treasure.'
shakes his head as he pushed away from the counter and put the rest of the stuff away. "It's fine, I'm lucky if I get one person in here a
day. I mainly survive off selling to the restaurants and what not around here in bulk."
ahhs, smiling softly. 'Well I'll try and pop in here more often then.' He definitely would if the other had foreign sweets. He helps put_
some of the boxes away, 'So what are you going to show me first?'
thanked him for the help with the boxes before he went to grab his coat and keys. "Um... well is there anything you wanted to see first?"
, 'Maybe somewhere that serves a decent cup of tea?'
nods as he put his coat on. "I think I know a good place then." He smiled at that and moved to flip the sign on the door around.
opens the door for the other, 'You're full of surprises Matthew.' He can't help but fell that Matthew is a ghost... but he couldn't be right
... the guy was right here, and so very solid. He even smelled of sweets.
looked over at him curiously at that comment as he stepped outside, thanking him again for getting the door. "Eh? I'm not really..." He was
really hoping he wouldn't have to explain what he is.
wouldn't ask now... maybe later. 'You have foreign sweets and know where I can get decent tea, you're definitely surprising.'
laughed quietly and shrugged a bit as he moved to lock up the shop. "My granddad was the one who started stocking the imported sweets. I
just added to the list and continue ordering them."
hums, smiling slightly. 'How are you gonna explain away the tea knowledge?' he asks with an amused smile, waiting for Matthew to the side.
tucked his hands in his pockets as he started in the right direction. "Ah... I like tea." He offered, he really couldn't explain it away.
falls into step with him, watching the other. 'What's your favourite?' he asks, taking a chocolate bar out of his bag. He offers Matthew _
glanced over at him and took the offered piece with another quiet thanks. "Lately it's been earl grey," he nodded as he popped the piece of
chocolate in his mouth and let it melt. "Yours?"
hums, 'Probably Assam.' When he could find it, 'I normally just settle for basic British Tea though. The likes of Tetley and whatnot.'
thought about that and nodded, "I think I have Assam at home. I've sort of lost track though." He stopped when they got to the quaint little
coffee shop and moved to get the door for him. The place really wasn't far from his store, one of the reasons he liked it.
thanks him, walking in. It smells of coffee, something that should put him off but he supposes he should trust the other. 'Really? I'd love_
to take a peak at you tea collection then.'
smiled a bit at that and lead him to a quiet corner near some book shelves. He took his coat off and draped it over the back of the chair.
"If you want." He nodded.
smiles, 'It would be a pleasure.' He follows Matthew's actions, eyes on the bookshelf. 'So that's why you like it here?' he asks, nodding to
the shelves. 'You seem to like books.'
caught off guard by that and he flushed a bit at being caught. "Yeah... well... books are... they're good." He nodded. "No one really pays
me much mind." He nodded and headed to the counter to place his order. "That and they do have really good tea here."
nods, placing an order after Matthew. 'So you live vicariously through books?' he asks, not meaning to be mean. Just curious. He himself_
had done it as a young child, when other kids wouldn't talk to him because he spoke to think air. By the time he hit High School he had_
learned to keep his mouth shut and made a better job of being social overall... but Matthew himself seemed so easy to miss.
nodded a bit, "yeah I guess you could say that." He knew why people didn't notice him and there really wasn't anything he could do about
that, after all who wanted to speak to someone who was half ghost. Hell what he is shouldn't even be possible, but he had his mother to
watches him for a moment, before giving him a sympathetic smile. 'It's not a bad way to be.' He pats the other on the shoulder, 'And hey..._
I'd never pass you over. You're too much of a looker for that.'
went a few shades darker at the comment. "E-Eh? Um well I'm sure you would." He didn't mean to make it sound mean or anything. "Thank you
he's suits it. The colour earns Matthew a grin, 'You should have more faith in me Matthew Williams. I don't forget people so easily,'_
especially so when they prove to be a mystery.
gave him a curious look at that when their orders were called he happily accepted his tea and the biscuit before moving back to the table.
"You can uh... you just call me Mattie. It's probably easier."
takes his tea, looking at it with suspicion. 'Then please call me Greg in turn.' He sits himself down opposite Matthew, setting the cup down
gave him a warm smile at that, if he wasn't careful he might start thinking the other man was quite good looking. He shoved those thoughts
aside though. "So um what else do you want to see?"
, playing with the string that hangs out the side of his cup. Greg would encourage the other thinking he was good looking, he really would!_
'Maybe... a decent second-hand book shop? If you know any.'
looks all to excited about that idea and he nods, "oh of course. I know at least three." He looked down at his own tea and carefully took

tenses for a moment, before deciding to be frank. 'I'm a hunter.'
frowns a bit as he stared at him before he looked down at his tea, "I guess that makes sense then." He was suddenly very glad he was hard
to kill. It explained why Greg was talking to him though.
watches him, somewhat guessing what he was thinking. 'I'm not after you...' He gives a bashful smile, 'I was just after some good company.'
looked up at confused. "O-oh... Umm and you don't know what I am?" he'd had more than enough people asking him about it lately.
hums, 'You've either gotten up close and personal with a ghost, or you're somehow half... I can't tell between the two. The former, from_
past experience, seems more likely.' He grins, 'I'm not easily scared off.'
nodded a bit as he ran a hand through his hair lightly. "Half, my mom was a necromancer. I don't even know how she did it and really I don't
think she's inclined to sharing either."
replies, 'I wasn't planning to pry. That's why I didn't ask.' He finally sips his tea, 'You were right. It's good here.'
smiled weakly at that, "thanks." He was starting to really like the guy, shaking his head absently he grinned at the comment about the tea.
"I told you, I come here a lot when the shops really dead."
hums, eyes looking over the cup at Matthew with amusement. 'I'm sorry for ever doubting you, oh wise one.'
laughed lightly at that, "hardly wise. I'm just a kid." He shrugged.
shrugs, 'What are you 20,21? It's not that much younger than me, and you know more about this area than myself.'
smiled now a he sipped more at his tea. "Thank you then... so, um book store after this right?"
smiles, sipping his tea. 'Yep, unless you can think of anywhere else you'd rather show me.'
shakes his head, "um... I'll think of somewhere else I'm sure." he nods.
shakes his head, 'Don't force yourself.' He's almost finished his cup now.
nibbling on his biscuit carefully dipping it in his tea as he felt bad not having any idea of what to show him.
didn't mean to make him feel bad! He drains his cup, 'If you can't think of anything right now, it just gives me an excuse to visit again.'
blinks at that and stares at him, "oh... I didn't think you'd want to visit again." He shrugged and he doesn't think it's his fault.
blinks, 'Why wouldn't I want to visit you again?' Really, this guy needed more self confidence.
smiled and took another bite of his biscuit. "I don't know," he finished his tea with that. "Sorry I'm just not used to conversations longer
than 'hey, you're strange what are you? oh cool. Bye.' It's nice to be able to talk someone though." He nodded, he was enjoying this.
blinks in surprise. Surely some people would stick around a bit longer than that, 'Well... I'm not one of those people.' He grins, before_
slipping his jacket on. 'I want to get to know you better,' he adds on, eyes perhaps giving Matthew a discreet up and down.
couldn't help but be surprised by that as he set about pulling his own coat on as well paying for bother their drinks. He didn't notice the
look. "Ah... well there really isn't much to get to know."
blinks when Matthew pays for both, thanking him. He would definitely have to return the favour sometime. 'You should leave that for others_
glanced up at him as he finished doing up his coat and he smiled a bit. "I'll trust you on that one then." He nodded, "so what do you hunt,
if you don't mind me asking."
smiles back. He starts to answer as they head to the door, 'Demons who have been causing trouble mostly. I don't just hunt for the sake of_
it, like some people... and angels.'
follows him outside as he listened. "Oh... oddly demons are the one thing that can touch me when I'm... not so solid."
hums, 'Angels can't touch you?'
blinks, "I don't know... never had one try."
hums, 'Perhaps they both can?' He slides his hands into his jacket pocket, 'They don't bother you, do they?'
shakes his head, "no they leave me alone. Sort of like everyone else." He nodded.
watches the other, a hint of sadness crossing his face, 'Must be lonely...'
paused for a moment before he smiled and shrugged, though the smile was forced. "It's fine."
frowns at the other, 'It's alright to talk to others sometimes you know. It doesn't have to be me... but you don't need to force a smile,_
flushed darkly when he said that. "Um... oh..." He fidgeted for a moment. "Sorry, thank you though."
ruffles his hair, smiling. 'No problem...' He looks around, 'So how far is this bookshop?' He's changing the subject.
startles a bit and it took him a moment to think about it. "Oh, um about a ten minute walk if that's okay?"
apologises, pulling his hand back. 'That's fine Matthew.'
shakes his head, he didn't need to apologize. "Okay, and um you didn't need to apologize. I didn't mind that."
grins. Matthew has just opened a floodgate for excuses to touch him. He brushes some hair away from his face, 'I'll keep that in mind.'
looked a bit more embarrassed at that. "O-okay." He couldn't help but think Gregory was attractive when he grinned like that.
isn't aware of it himself. It's just a natural expression for him, especially when he's teasing and being playful. He looks amused, 'You_
nods quickly and smiles, "yeah I'm good." He moved to started walking in the right direction. "Sorry about that. I uh... was distracted."
smirks, following Matthew's lead. 'Ohh?' he asks, grin cheeky. 'Mind if I ask by what?' He has an inkling, but it would be nice to hear it.
flushed darkly at that as he tried not to look over at him. "Um... by... " he hesitated. "Ah it's embarrassing but I was distracted by
surprised it was so easy and pauses briefly. He's soon smiling though, 'I guess it's only fair to say that you've been distracting me a fair
bit.' He looks the other up and down, 'Actually, a bit more than a fair bit I'd say.'
gaped a bit at that as he looked over at him, he hadn't expected that. "A-Ah, um... Oh." He tried to hide the even dark blush. He didn't
know what to say to that."
grins cheekily, 'You know. Most people either kiss a person after admissions like this, or invite the other back to his place.' He was_
only flustered even more at that as he shifted slightly. "U-Um well, if you want... I did say I would show you my tea collection." That
sounded horribly lame even to himself.
doesn't mind how lame it sounded, he's nodding along. 'Yeah... you said you had Assam right?'
nods, "I think so. I can't promise anything though. I had at least fifty different kinds."
shakes his head, 'I'm sure I'll find something that suits then...' If not, well his main reason to visit wasn't the tea.
smiled faintly, "so um still want to go to the book store first?" He wasn't sure.
suppose his probably should, if only to be polite. 'Sure,' he replies, starting to head in the same direction they'd been heading before.
laughed softly and nodded a bit as he kept walking, it wouldn't take long to get there. "So what kind of books do you like to read?"
rubs the back of his neck, 'Law Thrillers. Yourself?'
looked over at him as he tucked his hands in his pockets. "Fantasy mostly, but I like anything that's got good world building and plot."
smiles, 'I can see why you like it... but I experience enough of that stuff in real life, you know?'
a bit bad suddenly and smiles, "oh yeah I don't blame you then."
doesn't think he should feel bad at all. 'I really like Terry Pratchett though,' he adds with a smile.
grins at that, "oh he's good!" He nodded.
Matthew suits that expression, 'You should grin more often mate.'
blinked as he finally stopped outside the bookstore. "You should too, you look really attractive when you grin."
blinks, before his cheeks turn red. He'd never been told that before, and he was rather taken aback by the other's forwardness. 'I'll keep_
it in mind.' He opens the door for them both, letting Matthew in first.'
quietly thanked him for holding the door as he stepped inside. He was just being honest, he thought Greg was the kind of person who liked
honesty. "Um so... there's really no order to the chaos here."
nods, 'Right. So you dive in and hope for the best?' He did appreciate it... but the openness had caught him out.
returned the nod, "yep. Almost always come up with something good though."
smiles, 'Alright then...' He glances at a few of the shelves, humming as he does indeed find something. He pulls it out from the shelf, '_
Definitely coming back,' he tells Matthew over his shoulder, grinning.
couldn't help but smile as he watched him. He carefully moved to another shelf and ran his finger lightly over the spines before he found
the book he'd hidden last time he was here. He plucked it off the shelf. "Glad you found something."
smiles, 'Ta for bringing me here.' He plucks Matthew's book out of his hand and pays for the both, 'As thanks for the tea.'
started to protest as he paid for both the books but stopped himself and only nodded. "You're welcome and thank you."
shakes his head, handing him his book back. 'It's my pleasure,' he replies, tilting his head.
smiled a bit at that as he took the book back back. "Well you've been nice to me so I feel like I owe you."
shakes his head, 'You don't need to owe me for something like that.' He slips his book into an inside pocket, 'Ready to head?'
nods, "I just live above my shop." He stepped out of the book store holding the door for Greg.
blinks, '... Wow. Talk about handy.' He thanks him, stepping out. 'Rent must be kinda hefty.'
shakes his head lightly. "The shop is fully paid off, so just the apartment rent."
ahhs, 'Right. That's not bad at all. Close to work too.' He looks up at said flat, 'Looks good an'all.' He grins.
smiled a bit at that as he nodded and unlocked the door next to the shop. It just lead up a flight of stairs. He held the door for Gregory
before he went up the stairs and unlocked the second door at the top, stepping inside. "I'm never late for work, that's for sure."
laughs, 'That might be because you're your own boss.' He found he was never late for work. He follows Matthew up the stairs, hanging up his_
coat when he steps inside.
hung up his own and laughed lightly at that with a nod. He took off his shoes next before he went towards the kitchen. "That's a good
follows along, quite eager to see his tea collection now. 'I rarely make a bad one,' he replies with a grin.
smiled over at him as he went to the cupboard and started to dig through it. He pulled out several boxes and a whole bunch of tins. "I think
looks at the collection, picking up a few. 'Quite a collection you have here.'
shrugs as he moved to his other cuboard and pulled a tin. "Do you like tablet?"
holds a hand to his heart, 'You're a guy after my own heart. I love Tablet.'
((Man. Matthew is pretty much Matthew's perfect guy this event. He has shortbread and Tablet... and Scotland has low requirements xD ))
held back another soft laugh, a grin slipping across his lips instead. "I made it yesterday so it should be fine." He pulled some out and
set it out on a plate for him. (Mm my Neighbour made the best tablet ever I miss it so much )
((I'm jealous xD I only ever got home made from school fairs xD ))
crowds behind him, stealing a piece - impatient. 'God, That's fantastic.' He leans closer, arms on either side of Matthew, 'You should come_
and try some of mine one day.' He takes another piece, popping it into his mouth with a hum. 'You're full of surprises Matthew.'
((aw, he made it for us every Christmas and the British imports store near me sells homemade that the owners mom makes.))
felt his cheeks flush a bit as he came so close. He nodded, glad he liked the tablet. "If you wouldn't mind. I'd like that."
shakes his head, 'I wouldn't have offered if I minded.' He presses a piece to Matthew's lips, pressing a kiss to jaw from behind.
flushed at the kiss as he took the piece of the sweet into his mouth. He enjoyed it quietly before he carefully turned to face Greg. He
didn't know what to say so he lightly kissed him instead.
rather prefers this to talking, kissing him back. A hand settles at the back of his neck, threading through his hair. The other tasted of_
Tablet and Tea, a wonderful combination.
tried to hide the shiver at the hand in his hair. He hesitated a bit as he moved his own hands to the front of his shirt.
keeps the kiss tame for now, sensing the other's hesitation. The other arm wraps around his waist and hefts him up onto the counter,_
attempting not to break the kiss in the process.
gasped into the kiss as he settled on the counter. He shifted his hands to his shoulders, he was quickly forgetting to be embarrassed.
soon slots himself between the other's legs, hand skimming over his thigh before settling on his hip. He gives a small squeeze.
gently wrapped his arms around his shoulders pulling him a bit. He didn't want him to stop anytime soon.

tangling his tongue with the other. He definitely loved the taste of tablet on their tongues.
moaned softly before he could catch himself, flushing even darker at that. He let one of his own hands slide into Greg's hair as he gladly
took the chance to enjoy the taste of him.
smirks against his lips, using that as an excuse to pull back and breath. He keeps a hand in his hair, the other squeezing Matthew's_
nipple as he watches the other.
glad for the break in the kiss as he caught his breath, he glanced up at him and tried not to show how much the fingers on him effected him.
the other an encouraging smile before kissing his jaw. He nuzzles, breath ghosting over his skin. 'I don't think you realise how hot you_
look right now,' he murmurs, pressing a kiss to his jaw.
shuddered as he closed his eyes, enjoying the kiss. "I-I'm hardly... hot..." he bit his lower lip lightly as he thought for a moment,
"y-you're way better looking."
laughs against his skin, 'I beg to differ mate,' he murmurs, lightly nipping on the collar of his neck. 'You're much fitter.'
lightly tightened his hold on him a bit, "I hardly do anything physical though... you're the hunter." He smiled at the thought.
licks the spot, sucking on it. He presses a soft kiss against his collar bone. 'Agree to disagree?' he asks, the questioned murmured against

fingers in his hair lightly.
takes the hand in his hair as an encouragement, continuing to kiss his neck as he pushes the other's shirt up. He pulls back to help him_
take it off, eyes on his skin as soon as the clothing falls to the floor. Forgotten.
reluctantly pulled his hand from his hair as he slipped his shirt off, he blushed at the eyes on him. "Do... um... do you want to move to
nods, 'Lead the way.' He steps back, helping the other down from the countertop.
got down and carefully slipped his hand in around Greg's before he lead him towards the bedroom. It wasn't much, mostly books and the odd

urging him to fall back onto the bed.
faltered a bit as he fell back, breaking the kiss again as he looked up at him for a few seconds before he reach up and pulled him down with
him, wrapping his arms around him and kissing him again. "I don't want you to hold back either," he murmured against his lips.
hums in approval against his lips, before resuming the kiss he had broken. His hands move to Mattie's trousers, tugging off the belt. His_
hands then slide back up, toying with the other's nipples as he deepens the kiss. He's definitely not holding back.
felt his breath hitch as he slid his own hands down his back, exploring the skin he could reach. One of his hands slid up into Greg's hair
groans with the tug, one hand moving down to cup Matthew's crotch through his trousers in response. The Other pinches and tugs at the_
nipple, wanting a reaction.

catch his breath, moving to kiss at the side of his neck instead. He was trying not to focus on the fingers on his chest.
massages Matthew's crotch, tilting his head to give the other access. His back is in a small arch from the nails, eyebrows furrowed in_
pleasure pain as his hand falters on Matthew's chest. His thumb soon rolls the abused nipple under his finger though, relishing the small_
sounds he can drag out of the other.

sliding a hand down his hand with a feather light touch till he slid his hand under he waist band of his pants and pulled his hips into his.
groans with the connection, grinding down against Matthew. He swears softly at the mouth on his neck, 'F-fuck, get your trousers off,' he_

((Yeah. I'm just going to head to bed so I'll reply in the morning ;o; ))
