Ollie nodded and little, rubbing at the back of his neck, “Yeah… it would be nice to be close to someone by blood…”
Under The Willow Tree ((one-on-one//closed))

Wolf tilted his head. "You're not close to your parents?" He wasn't judging–he was simply curious. He, himself, wasn't very close to his parents or his elder sister–all three of them expected absolute perfection. Sorry to be a disappointment, but he wasn't cut out for perfection from the start.
He stiffened instantly, shaking his head very quickly at the mention of the worst subject he knew, “No… I’m not and I won’t ever be.”
group
"Okay, sorry. Touchy subject," he said quickly, feeling bad for bringing it up. "Umm," he bit his lip. "Any other subject you want to talk about?"
Ollie waved a hand dismissively, forcing himself to relax, "Don't apologise, you didn't know," He then shrugged and bit at his finger nails, "Do you have any hobbies?" He asked.
group
"Ummm," He tilted his head as he thought about it. "Well, you already know about being outdoors. I also like learning languages–preferably dead ones."
Ollie narrowed his eyes a little, head tilting to the side, "Dead ones? Interesting… what ones have you learnt so far?"
group
"Uh, I'm fluent in Latin, I know quite a bit of Ancient Greek, and I'm working on Old Norse. My sister knows a lot of languages."
"Wow, that's impressive… I can speak Spanish but that's only because I had to learn it in school. Then again, I never really wanted to learn it but Dad made me continue all the way though high-school."
group
"Well, you're better at Spanish than I am," he said with a half smile. He wasn't too sure how to talk to Ollie, so he was just bumbling through. He was never this awkward around other people…
"You should learn, hermoso. It's a nice language," He blushed a little, looked up at Wolf with a smille, "How long did it take to learn Latin?"
group
"Uhhhh," he tilted his head as he thought about it. Tufts of his hair fell into his eyes as he did so. "Five years, I think. I was learning other languages alongside it, but I picked up Latin faster than the others."
Ollie's eyes widened a little, "Wow, that's impressive. And learning others at the same time… damn you're talented."
group
He rubbed the back of his neck, a small blush tainting his cheeks. "I guess I have a knack for it."
"Are you studying in collage or anything right now? And if you're not becoming a linguist I would be very surprised." He giggled quietly, sitting up a little straighter.
group
He bit his lip as the blush bloomed some more. "Umm, I'm not really studying in college at the moment. I go to this school… But it's not really what you'd think if someone said college." He chuckled. "Then prepare to be surprised, because I'm not planning on being a linguist. I don't know what I really want to do with my life." He snorted. "Well, okay. I do know that I don't want to have anything to do with the… Ah… Family business."
“Family business?” He tilted his head to the side, making him look much like a curious puppy, “Why don’t you want to continue it?”
group
"Because it's not for me," he said simply. "For them, everything has to be perfect and just right. Follow every rule, dot every i and cross every t. I'm not like that. I prefer to have some fun, and I definitely can't boss people around."
Ollie hummed a little, "I guess that makes sense. You shouldn't spend your life doing something you don't want to do. What do you want to do?"
group
Wolf blew out a breath. "I dunno, honestly. I'm just kinda wondering aimlessly until I find something." And someone, but he didn't mention that.
He smiled softly up at him before drawing circles with a stick in the dirt, “I understand. You’ll find something you’ll fall in love with, and when you do I know you’ll be amazing at it.”
group
Okay, now Wolf was really blushing. "R-right. Thanks." He ducked his head and watched Ollie from the corner of his eye. He's so cute…
He grinned, his entire facing lighting up as he did so, “You’re welcome.” He turned his attention back to the circles, resting his hand in his free hand.
group
His body froze as his eyes turned a milky white. In his mind, he saw a hazy picture of him and Ollie getting really close, their faces mere inches apart and getting closer…
He blinked, and the vision was gone. But not from his memory. He covered his face to hide the redness. Ollie didn't see it, as it was a Seer vision, but still.
Ollie sensed that Wolf had frozen though he didn't know why which caused him to pout a little as he tried to figure it out.
group
Wolf saw the pout through his fingers and nearly melted. How did I not notice he's so adorable. Like a puppy.
Eventually, with a small sigh, he gave up, though he still looked like he was pouting a little due to his bottom lip being bigger then his top, something Ollie hated about himself.
group
Wolf tilted his head, trying to distract himself from Ollie's lips. "What?"
"Hm? O-Oh, y-you stiffened and I-I was trying to figure o-out wh-what I'd done wrong…" Ollie replied quietly, refusing to look up.
group
Wolf's eyes went wide. "Wait… Nononono, you didn't do anything wrong. It was just something that happens to me at random times. It had nothing to do with you." A partial lie, but that wasn't the point he was trying to make. He ducked his head so that he could look into Ollie's eyes. "I promise."
