Brother Test (Kyle H)

[Deleted]

Sam was in a good mood today. She was off work today and still had fresh in her mind the last date with Terry, when he’d not so accidentally put on a scary movie and not so accidentally gotten her scared to the point where she ended up staying the night with him. No, not that sort of staying the night. They had agreed they would avoid that for a while at least. It was just like when she’d stayed at his place for a handful of nights after he lost his brother in the war to help him with his nightmares and depression, only this time it had been her who hadn’t wanted to turn the lights out. But having Terry there had helped a lot. Which brought her to where she was now. She’d stayed over at his place several times now, so it was high time she repaid him, and she intended to do that within the next week at the latest. Invite him over for a nice home cooked dinner. Maybe a movie if he wanted it. She wasn’t overly creative in guessing what to do for him, she had to admit. Fixing him her best recipes was the best she could come up with. But it was the thought that counted, right?

Anyway, said best recipes required a trip to the local grocers. So she’d bundled up against the fresh new Autumn weather and set out. It wasn’t quite hat or scarf or mittens weather just yet, but a light jacket was starting to be needed. Today was right about sixty degrees. Not too hot, not too cold, but she preferred it around seventy, so yes, it was jacket weather for her. She stopped by Terry’s coffee shop – why not give business to one of the places that you worked for, right? – and got a pumpkin spice latte for the adventure to get into the Autumn spirit. So now, latte in hand and waiting to cool, she set off through the forum, not in any particular hurry, but rather just enjoying the day itself. She would get to the grocers in due time.

Kyle would be lying if he said he was getting a coffee after his training session. In all honesty, he pretended to get wounded and walked to the infirmary with one of his buddies int he cohort who offered to walk him there, but in all reality they turned and headed to New Rome and were sitting in his brothers coffee shop. Kyle had actually finished his coffee and his friend had left by the time a familiar looking female walked in. She looked really familiar but far too old for Kyle to have tried to pick up before. So then, why was she familiar? Oh right! She worked in the coffee shop, and she wasn't just any worker, no, she was the one that her brother had the hots for and apparently dating. Right, well, that required some conversation to the dame on Kyle's part. Once she left the shop Kyle got right up and followed her. Lucky for him she wasn't in a rush and was able to catch up fairly quickly.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you Samantha Mason? Because if I'm wrong, why in the world are you dating my brother, surely you could do a lot better." Kyle said in jest. Though, c'mon, look at her. She was obviously in a whole different class from his tree of a brother. She was a petite blonde, definitely attractive and well, Terrence was a tree. There, Kyle said it. But it's not like there was any denying of it. He was freakishly tall. However, despite the twos definite class differences in attractiveness, Kyle was happy for his brother. He seemed to be able to move on from his unfortunate past with love and actually manage to get a beauty. Kyle just wanted to make sure the idiot didn't mess it up or that the girl was just using Terrence.

If she was just using him for free coffees like any stereotypical white girl, then Kyle would be fairly upset at her and would definitely alter her brain to make it so every tiem she thought of coffee she would get nauseous. Although, Kyle wasn't sure if he could actually do that. He rarely ever used his brain powers, he just enjoyed his alcoholic ones. What could he say? It was genetics, that and having a good time. Yeah, Kyle wasn't a stereotypical Roman and he wasn't going to try to be one anyway. Why be something you're not?

Sam had always loved Autumn. When she was little, she’d climb up the Acropolis with her brother just to get a view of the colors. On the Hunt had been no different; well, minus her brother. Nowadays she tried to take the time once more to enjoy life, knowing that she was no longer immortal and, especially after that last war and what happened with Terry’s brother… well, the Fates could have their way any day. But enough of that depressing stuff. She took a sip of her latte and continued on her way. The Forum was packed today. Fine fresh Saturday like this, of course it was. Kids enjoying no class, young people getting ready for the chariot races later that afternoon, you name it. New Rome was anything but boring.

The only other thing about New Rome on a day like today was that it was easy to get snuck up on. (Thank the gods Terminus kept weapons out.) This was exemplified when someone randomly came up beside her and gave her an odd, rather cheeky smile… and apparently knew her name too. Not that that was a flag-raiser or anything. Nope, not at all. Dating his brother? A relative of Terry’s then, though she couldn’t put a name to the face, which she felt a bit guilty about considering he already knew her name. “I am, actually, so no worries about being wrong.” She was about to ask the embarrassing question of who he was exactly, but thank the gods it clicked right before she opened her mouth. The bar. Probably the most popular bar in all of New Rome. She’d never been in there, but she’d heard plenty about it. And twenty denarii said this was one of the infamous owners. “And correct me if I’m wrong, but are you Kyle Hydee then?” Oh boy. She never thought she’d be talking one on one with one of Camp Jupiter’s most well-known flirts. Odd thing was, looking at Terry and his personality, one would never think the two were related. But here he was. And judging by his intro, she had a feeling she knew what this was going to be about. She may have been a Hunter most of her life, but that didn’t make her totally ignorant. After all, had she been there long enough, she would have done the same thing for Lucius when he got to dating age. So in a way, she already had a new respect for Kyle Hydee for looking out for his brother.
