Haunted House GP

[londoncallingmods]

 The house doesn't exist, that's the first thing anyone who might find themselves inside it would want to know. Now, you might ask how one could find themselves inside something that doesn't exist, but you'd honestly be better off asking yourself how you could leave something that doesn't exist. After all, ideas and concepts can't be burnt or broken, and you can't breakdown a door that's not there- Or was there and then decided to be somewhere else for a while...

 

You wake in a house though, a house that doesn't exist. A house that defies the laws of reality. There are corridors that go on for days, rooms full of nightmares, and millions of doors that lead you anywhere but out. Trapped inside with you are dozens of other people, all searching for an exit, or an explanation.

 

Behind every door you'll find your darkest fears, maybe even memories you've tried to forget, or secrets you never wanted to share... 

 

(OTA! Here is your first of two Halloween gps! This one is, of course, set in the haunted house where your pup can run into anything you can dream up! Deadly traps! Spooky monsters! An existential crises! Top level your pups waking up or running into danger, and then go ahead and tag other players! Since this is all magic-y and spooky don't worry too much about time lines and who bumped into who first. Only rule is that your pup can't escape until November 1st! Have fun! Also, because there are two GPs going up this week, both are open to new top levels for two whole weeks! And, of course, you can keep tagging long after that if you want. :D I'll post reminders daily on slack.)

"I feel strongly about you as well," Val said, looking a bit surprised. "I just didn't want to assume... And asking someone to be your boyfriend- Well, I was worried you might find that silly. Childish, even."

[jageskro]

"Frightening, more like," Jag answered, because he might as well be honest about it.

[hollow_moon]

"Not exactly the response I was hoping for- But understandable. ...I've not dated anyone in a very long time anyway, if I'm honest. I tend to prefer my lovers to be gone in the morning. I've never even considered having a truly serious relationship. I certainly wouldn't ask for one out of the blue. ...I only mean to say that- I very much like you. As more than a friend, and as more than someone who warms my bed and is gone in the morning. It's not something we have to define though I'm not asking for that."

[jageskro]

Jag was done with his plate, and he stood, because he couldn't have this conversation on the other side of the bloody table from Val. So he walked around it and dragged a chair right up beside him, so he could sit there and take his hand in both of his. "I don't... I'm a fuck-up in a lot of ways, Val. I tend to hurt the people I care about - which, well, you've noticed already. And I'm scared shitless of opening up to something that'll leave me vulnerable. But I'd like to try. I don't want to be gone in the morning, either."

[hollow_moon]

"You're not a fuck up, don't say things like that," Val said. "I'm glad you want to try though. ...I care for you. Very much, actually. I like having you near."

[jageskro]

"Well, I like being near," Jag confirmed with a half smile, and tentatively raised a hand to cup Val's face, and lean in for a kiss. He needed the physical confirmation of what they were saying, needed it to believe it. Actions didn't lie.

[hollow_moon]

Val leaned in to meet him halfway, putting down his fork in favour of touching Jag- Holding his arm tightly, as though he worried the man might run away.

[jageskro]

Jag had absolutely no issue with the tight grip, on the contrary. It echoed the way he felt, himself, and he poured that need, that fear into the kiss. Eventually, though, he broke it, but kept his forehead pressed to Val's. "I'm sorry for hurting you," he told him, again, glancing up into his eyes at the end of the sentence.

[hollow_moon]

"I'm sorry for pushing," Val replied, touching Jag's cheek lightly. "And for letting the wolf get the best of me."

[jageskro]

"It was probably for the best," Jag answered, turning into that touch and brushing a kiss on Val's fingertips. One of his hands had ended up on his thigh, and was stroking it up and down, apparently unable to not touch. "Now we know what the problems are."

[hollow_moon]

Val was only human. ...Well, mostly human. He couldn't help but react to that touch.

"We do," he nodded, turning a bit more in his seat in an attempt to get closer.

[jageskro]

"And we should talk about them," Jag went on, but he was already leaning in for another kiss, if Val was going to lean closer.

[hollow_moon]

"We should," Val agreed. Though that didn't stop him from leaning in for another kiss. "We really should," he said, trying to sound a bit more firm- Right before he kissed Jag again.

[jageskro]

"We will," Jag confirmed, and pressed closer, into a harder kiss, "in a bit, yeah?" Added between one kiss and the next. Please, let Val agree, he needed this.

[hollow_moon]

"God you make it hard to say no," Val groaned, searching for another kiss as he pawed at Jag.

[jageskro]

"Good," Jag smiled against his lips, briefly, then lost himself in another kiss, wrapping an arm around Val's shoulders to draw him into an embrace.

[hollow_moon]

It was so easy to let himself get lost in the kiss. To wrap his arms around Jag in return and close his eyes. It was easy to convince himself this would all work out- That they'd make it work, even if they both were clearly not good at this sort of thing.

Val had spent years going through lovers the way most people went through dental floss, and a small part of him worried that he might cling too tightly now that he'd found someone he really wanted. ...Or worse, that he'd push Jag away and lose not just a love, but a friend as well.

[jageskro]

Jag kept an arm securely around Val's shoulders, but his other hand could not seem to stay still, reexploring Val as if it had been years since last he could, cradling his jaw, tracing a thumb down his neck, stroking a path down his chest, back to his face, touching his thigh, anchoring itself at his hip for a moment, only to move on again. Jag forced himself to break the kiss, loosening his arm around Val's shoulders. "Want to relocate? Otherwise I'm going down on you right here."

Fair warning, really.

[hollow_moon]

"You are absolutely not doing that in this kitchen," Val laughed. "Upstairs, I think. Somewhere with a bed, perhaps. ...Not that I'm against getting creative."

[jageskro]

"We could've got creative right against this table," Jag pointed out, smiling brightly, and stood, holding his hand out to Val. Wherever they were going, he just wanted to be there already, and taste that patch of skin on Val's neck that made him moan so prettily.

[hollow_moon]

Val growled playfully, taking the offered hand and pulling Jag towards the stairs- The very grand stairs.

"We'll go to one of the guest suites," he offered, hoping Jag wouldn't be too put off by the fact that each suite was almost a mini apartment. Bigger than some people's homes.

[jageskro]

Jag was climbing the stairs two by two, and he grinned at Val. "If you're sure you don't want me to suck you off against that banister."

It was, after all, a very grand banister, and Jag could picture it easily, Val leaning back against it, fingers curled around it, knuckles white, head thrown back in pleasure. Yeah, he liked that image a lot.

[hollow_moon]

"No! God no!" Val laughed, nearly falling over as he doubled over slightly at the thought. "Oh my god, I can't even imagine. What if one of my aunties walked in to check in on the place? They'd have a heart attack."

[jageskro]

"Come on, what are the odds?" Jag protested, still smiling at him, but keeping going. He was still talking, but he was just fine with grabbing one of the guest suites, or whatever Val had called them. "You'd look hot, braced against that thing as I went down on you."

[hollow_moon]

"The odds are slim, but it would be just my bloody luck," Val laughed, allowing himself to be pulled along, but pulling Jag to a stop near the top of the stairs.

"Promise me you'll not get all weird once we go in there," he said, nodding at the door. "That you wont panic or get upset."
