Dating Marko Would Include….

First time writing for my favorite lost boy. I’m so excited. Warning, long asf


  • Love Language being biting. Oh come in, you really expect Marko to keep his hands and fangs to himself?
  • Is romantic believe it or not. Behind the violent/ tough image people see him be is a sweet man
  • Getting close to Paul since him and Marko are besties.
  • Being slightly intimadated by David (but then again who isn’t?)
  • Keeps you as far away from Max as possible.
  • And of course Star tries to warn you about the boys it’s sweet that she cares enough but you tell her you know what your getting into.
  • Is very wild, hyper and fun to be around but he doesn’t mind being more calm and chill with you. It’s actually is one of his things; he would cuddling you in his nest at the cave than causing mischief on the borderwalk any day.
  • The dates consist of sneaking into places like the movies, going on rides, visiting your or his favorite restaurants, graffiti random places(that’s Markos favorite thing to do)
  • It doesn’t matter if what you draw/graffiti is a stick person, Marko will say you are better than Leonardo DaVinci ☺️
  • Likes to watch you do simple things. You have his full attention anytime you are around. He will just lean on a wall or something and just watch you be you and just falls even more in love.
  • Is like a proud dad when you meet his pigeons and is even more happy when they start to like you and fly to you when your in the cave.
  • Will send you notes via pigeon so you become accustomed to the sight of a pigeon tapping it’s beak on your bedroom window.
  • Is an artsy person so 9 times out of 10 when he pulls out his sketchbook he draws you-and half of the time he doesn’t tell you that he has. Just let’s you find out for yourself.
  • Makes your heart skip a beat seeing the way your vampire boyfriend draws you.
  • The first time you let him draw you naked is a very intimate thing which leads to very soft and romantic sex.
  • Gives you Spiderman kisses. (another one of his favorite things to do)
  • You can just be sitting on the couch and then here comes Marko flying upside down in front of you with a cheeky smile on his face.
  • Is very observant despite his wild nature. He just can understand you without speaking at all.
  • Is your bodyguard tbh.
  • Let’s say him and the boys have to go feed leaving you alone for a little bit and some surf nazi bothers you. You don’t know how but he always appears right before the surf nazi tries to lay his hands on you. Just poof! magic Werid vampire ablilties ig.
  • Definitely knows when your trying to hide something, he says it’s his vampire intuition.
  • Knows you better than you know yourself.
  • Likes to steal gifts for you big and small things. If he sees you staring at something in a store- don’t bother even trying to speed your money. You’ll have it before the night is over with
  • You got blackout curtains so he can sleep over during the day. He just lays on your chest sleeping soundly and whines when you get up.
  • The sex is absolutely amazing. He knows your body, knows how to make you cum, knows how to make you squirt and by the end of it all you can’t walk
  • This boy has the highest sexdrive you have ever seen.
  • The moment the old hickeys and bite marks disappear is when you get new ones
  • Yes yes being in a relationship with Marko is amazing….
  • But not everything is sunshine and peaches.
  • Marko’s temper gets the best of him sometimes which results into a lot of fights because of it.
  • Can be hot and cold sometimes
  • At the beginning of yalls relationship he had the tendency to go MIA for a few days ( you can decide whether this is before you found out there secret or after) and it would make you worried.
  • Yall talked about it and he promises not to do it anymore.
  • Jealousy knows Marko well
  • Sometimes it can get in the way when you run into a guy friend from your high school
  • The arguments can differ. It could be you yelling and Marko giving you the silent treatment or if it’s bad enough both of you will have a screaming match at Paul or the other boys have to break yall apart.
  • Marko would never lay his hands on you no matter how angry he is. He has a sneaky suspension that the boys think he will which makes him even more angrier because you are his sun, his other half,- he loves you so much and too much that it hurts to think of him hurting you.
  • But back on topic
  • That type of argument can leave yall not talking for days
  • Marko is stubborn there is no doubt about that. So he can totally go days without talking and just pretend like you don’t exist.
  • Which hurts you a lot
  • If you made him mad it will be even harder to talk to him since he just ignores you.
  • If he made you mad then two can play at that game, if he tries to talk to you you will give him the same energy he gives you.
  • Now he knows how it feels.
  • When yall do make up(it depends on the level of the argument) sometimes Paul will make yall make up.
  • Claiming how he is tried of Marko sulking and shit
  • But when yall do make up yall kind of just cry?
  • Like days without talking can pile up tons of guilt for both sides of the argument, no matter who was in the right or who was in the wrong.
  • And Marko ain’t the one to really cry like that.
  • But he just does because you don’t deserve the way he treats you.
  • He thinks to himself that he doesn’t deserve you at all.
  • That you deserve someone who doesn’t have a temper or anger issues.
  • But you remind him that you love him just the way he is.
  • And after one peculiar argument he decides that maybe some things should change
  • So he tries to be better
  • You notice this and the boys notice this as well
  • Even Max did.
  • You do the same, try to be better at things if you seen it was doing more bad to you and Marko’s relationship then good.
  • The relationship is isn’t perfect by any means
  • But both of you wouldn’t want it any other way.

Going to Walmart with The Lost Boys

I couldn’t not stop thinking about this so I had to write it HEHEHE.

  • All I have to say is good luck because you are going to need it.
  • A lot of it.
  • Don’t be surprised if you get banned from Walmart.
  • Honestly the whole time you felt like a Mother trying to control her roudy kids.
  • Dwayne was the only one that was helpful
  • It was time to do your monthly shopping and being clingy, the boys wanted to come with you and you agreed.
  • First mistake
  • When you all got there (by your car) you have Paul who wanted to ride in the buggy. Which you said no because of 2 reasons 1.you need the space for groceries ofc and 2. Paul was a heavy mf and there is no way your going to spend 2 + hours pushing him.
  • Halfway through with your shopping you find out that Marko is missing and you freak out until you found him look at the fish tanks in the back

“Marko! Jesus you almost gave me a heart attack!”

“You think I’ll be able to buy one and take it back to the cave? ”

  • When he meant buy he meant steal and you said absolutely not because there is no way he is able to take a fish back and is able to keep it alive on the way
  • But hey it’s Marko were talking about so who fucking knows what he got up his colorful sleeves.
  • Paul is that one person that goes to the kids isle and play with the toys. You will have to drag him away from the isle and don’t be surprised if you have to buy something like a stuff animal or something just so you can get him out of the isle.
  • Basically bribery
  • Him and Marko would definitely put random shit in the cart. Weather it is food, candy, etc if they like something they are going to put it in the cart.

“Paul. You do not need that much candy”

“Why not?”

“Babe.. your a vampire you don’t even need to eat human food for crying out loud.”

“But that doesn’t mean food isn’t good. ”

  • The one time you relented and bought him a full bag of candy he downed it within a few hours and got a stomache, something you didn’t know vampires could get.
  • Lesson Learned:Never buy Paul a full bag of candy.
  • And David(the sneaky bastard) goes into other people’s carts and just takes the shit your looking for.
  • Like if someone grabbed the last item of something don’t be surprised if you see it in your cart or an angry shopper approaching you claiming you stole something from their cart.
  • You have to snatch his cigarettes because he kept trying to pull them out to smoke.

“David you can’t smoke in here!”

“Says who?”

“Says me. ”

  • He did get a little pouty when you took his cigarettes and that made you almost feel bad. Keyword: Almost.
  • But it was cute seeing him all pouty you just had to give him a kiss on his pouty lips.
  • And Dwayne.
  • Sweet Sweet Dwayne.
  • He is just as chaotic as the other boys but if you genuinely need help he’ll stop for a little while to help you. It’s not like the other boys won’t help you think of it as the first one to respond when you need it.
  • If your short and something is out of reach, he either gets it for you or gets it even more out of your reach, it’s one of those two.
  • If Laddie tags along you have to buy him something. It’s either because you became a mother figure to the little boy or he uses those puppy dog eyes on you so you couldn’t say no.
  • It warmed Dwayne’s unbeating heart to see you buy stuff for Laddie even if he wasn’t there.

“You reckon this is Laddie’s size?”

  • All the boys just feel for you even more after you first bought something for Laddie.
  • But the one thing they all do is help you but the grocery in your back trunk.
  • And they obviously have a contest on who can carry the most bags.
  • Its a miracle if yall didn’t get kicked on the first time you went to Walmart with them.
  • Each time you say you are never going to Walmart with them again but everytime the employees see you, their is always 4 roudy men and a little boy following close behind you.

Dating Dwayne would Include…..

This was requested by @justsomeomehere sorry it took so long! I just took a step back from tumblr for a little bit

  • Boyfriend of the year award goes go the one and only.
  • He can be just as crazy as the other boys can. But like a calm crazy if you know what I’m saying.
  • Is very in tune with your feelings and partically knows if something is wrong with you.
  • Takes you out on nice little dates like local diners,arcades,walks on the beach, or even having the cave all to himself for a while.
  • Dwayne is definitely likes to read so on some days you two don’t feel like going out he would read to you (and 99% of the time you fall asleep due to how soothing his voice sounds)
  • Getting close to Laddie and him seeing you as an older sibling/parent.
  • Warms Dwaynes heart to see you playing with Laddie,makes him fall in love with you even more.
  • Likes to hold eye contact with you.
  • Touch is his way of showing love.
  • He would hold your hand,backhug you,rest his head in your neck.
  • Loves to stay at the cave or at home and just watch movies on the TV they stolebought.
  • Leaves little poems for you to find.
  • If you are having a bad day he would just bring you in his arms and let you sob it out if you need to.
  • Listens to anything and everything you say. So if you mention something that you like, you bet your ass it’s gonna to appear right infront of you.
  • You guys rarely get into arguments,sure you will have some disagreements but yall won’t have a full on screaming match
  • If he makes you mad he would want to make up with you asap. But will give you space if you need it and will just sulk in the corner until you are ready to talk.
  • If by chance you make him made he will give you the silent treatment. And it will hurt seeing him give you the silent treatment. But you are rarely the source when he is mad so we all good.
  • Did I mention the sex? ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC the dick is definitely a 10 out of 10
  • Very sensual,and romantic sexy time with him BUT don’t underestimate him he can and will go rough with you
  • Definitely drinks from you but doesn’t take a lot.
  • When it came to telling you what he was he was SCARED
  • Like he was terrified that you would be scared of him and leave him.
  • It took a lot of courage for him to show/tell you. And he cried when you stayed with him anyway.
  • He doesn’t kill around you unless the situation calls for it (like hunters,other vampires,humans in general etc.)
  • Yall definitely have a place that only you two know about. Like a little paradise for you two.
  • Takes you on midnight rides on his bike.
  • Builds you a nest in the cave so you can spend the night and sleeps with you in it.
  • When you get sick he will worry,like a lot but since he has dealt with Laddie being sick he can help you feel better too:)
  • MOMMA DWAYNE ACTIVATED.
  • He hasn’t been human in a loooonnngg time so of course he is going to worry and be scared for a little bit. But he will try his best. He will go to the store and get what you need,and will make some home remedies that he remembers his mother used to give him when he got sick.
  • Laddie will help to since you have been with Dwayne long enough to help Laddie when he got sick
  • Laddie is such a sweet boy.
  • David will be suspicious of you in the beginning cuz he doesn’t want you to break Dwayne’s unbeating heart (it’s been broken before but we don’t talk about that-)
  • Which he tells him to back off a little bit (ciz David is fucking intimidating ok?)
  • You will get close to the boys and they will view you as a sister as time goes buy.
  • Then came the topic of you becoming a vampire
  • He would respect your wishes if you wanted to stay human but he would just be heartbroken knowing that kne day he would have to see you die.
  • It took you some time to think wheather or not you wanted to become a vampire.
  • But with Dwayne, living forever didn’t seem so bad :)
  • So when the time came you dranked from the bottle and had your first kill. Dwayne helped you eith your new reborn life.
  • There was times it was rough
  • But having Dwayne by your side made it 100 times better and completely worth it :)

Very tempted to add Billy Hargrove as a Lost Boys rn.

JUST LOOK AT HIM!!! He has the vibes for it you can’t convince me otherwise. THE EARRING!!!! Him and David would definitely clash, Paul and Him would get high as fuck. Him and Marko would just fuck around with the people on the Boderwalk,and be on that deep level shit bro like-And tell me his first kill wouldn’t be Neil. After the shit he has put Billy through. All of that pent up anger would just make him kill Neil (accidentally or not).


He would not ditch his Camero tho. That thing is his pride and joy. Don’t know how but he and the boys would just have races on the beach and pull up to the Boderwalk and now all of a sudden you see 5 fine ass men pull up getting off their badass vehicles and there they go to terrorize people.


I’m already thinking of like a whole backstory on how he would became the last lost boys. Billy would be a better choice then Michael when it came to turning fr fr. Should I write him as a lost boy guys? Let me know cuz this sounds really exciting.

Would they try Pegging?

I’ve been thinking about this for ages


David

  • Absolutely not
  • Look I’m sorry, but I just don’t see David trying out pegging
  • Like I just can’t picture it my guy‍♀️

Dwayne

  • MAYBE
  • It’s gonna take a lot of convincing for him to try it.
  • And it’s probably going to be a one time thing if he does try it. Probably a 50% chance he would like it.
  • Feel like he would be kind of silent with a grunt every now and then.

Paul

  • HELL YES!
  • Like I can definitely see Paul trying it out
  • Probably will be the one who brings it up to you
  • Will moan and whimper. Don’t care who the he’ll hears him.
  • Will like it and will add it to yalls sex routine to spice it up cuz that’s just how Paul is.

Marko

  • Will try and but would want to be in charge.
  • So he would be on top.
  • Will whimper and moan like Paul but will be shy about it .
  • Hiding in your neck and shit.
  • Is surprised when he cums without being touched.
  • Is surprised with himself that he likes it and sex for yall will never be the same.

Hey guys I’m gonna be out and about today but before I go out to town I thought I leave you with some little Laddie Headcanons! A special thank you to my co-writer @imlostinsantacarla!

Laddie Headcanons

Unfortunately, Laddie was a part of a home in which a divorce was in the process of being filed. There was an immense amount of tension in the family dynamic whilst his father and mother sought to gain custody of him individually as they were in the midst of a messy breakup. The young child’s grandparents were aiding his father in filing for custody over him as his mother was hell bent on having sole custody without any visitation rights.

It’s well known that Laddie’s face was on a milk carton in the movie, with the word ‘MISSING’ written above it. This is just primarily speculation, of course. However, why else would two parents who didn’t care about their child put up missing person’s posters everywhere? It’s certainly obvious that his parents were deeply troubled and affected by their son going missing, in conjunction with being apprehensive over his safety as they had no idea where he was.

Whilst his father was attempting to gain custody of him with his grandparents’ help, Laddie’s mother lost him one night whilst on the BoardWalk too busy getting drunk at a bar, which is how and where the boys found him. He was all on his lonesome, wandering the BoardWalk terrified. The sight sincerely pulled on their heart strings. Seeing a little kid lost in the dead of night searching for his mother desperately just did not sit well with them.

Armed with the knowledge that their fellow sister Star was having second thoughts over their lifestyle, David immediately took the initiative to coax Laddie into drinking his blood and turning into one of them. This was not only to provide the child with a home, but also a strategy put in place to keep Star close and have her fully commit to their way of life as vampires. After all, girls love kids, don’t they? Surely her maternal or big sisterly instincts would kick in and provide her with the drive to become a caring figure for the young boy whilst solidifying her place in their group. She’d already agreed to the terms, there was no backing out now!

The other boys come to a conclusion of agreement that this is the best option as they cared about Star immensely, least enough to put up a fight when she was considering leaving, and they could not just let a poor boy stay out on the streets with nothing. There was a high likelihood of him getting kidnapped, murdered or something far, far worse whilst he was out there on his own. So they made the collective decision to take him under their wings and into their home, promising him that he would always remain safe with them.

Graciously, as if it were a match truly made in Heaven, Laddie and Star got on swell. The wee boy clung onto her desperately as she truly did remind him of his own mother and how she once was when she was with his dad. Star also bears a resemblance to his mother physically, ensuring that Laddie would bond with her much easier. The boys could not have been more happier and celebrated their success.

And thus it was settled! The boys took Laddie to the hotel and turned him, buttering him up a little in order over the next several to gain his trust and comfort.

So, Laddie, you like it here?” David smirked at the young boy sat on the edge of the fountain in the hotel.

Yeah it’s super cool!” He beamed enthusiastically, dangling his little legs off the edge and swinging them back and forth, they barely even hit the ground.

Would you stay forever?“ David pressed further, blonde brow quirked up in intrigue.

Can I?!“ Laddie exclaimed with an enormous grin plastered on his childish countenance.

Hell yeah little dude! We even have a pretty, cool big sister for you!“ Paul interjected just as happily, patting the tiny guy on the shoulder.

"Really?!”

Mhm,” Dwayne added, “and you can play every night.”

And you can eat as much as you want without getting sick, dude!” Marko declared.

So, Laddie, what do you say?” David asked, head cocked to the side as he watched the little runts eyes float from face to face.

He sits still for a moment… “Hell yeah!”

The guys cheered excitedly, Marko handing David some fancy looking bottle, who in turn passed it to Laddie. “All you gotta do now, is drink this.

It smells funny. What is it?”

Old grape juice.”

All the while, when Laddie is missing, his mother is struck with excruciating bouts of grief and shame, and attempts to get herself into a better space. Overcoming the worry and guilt that she feels over losing her son through alcohol, drugs, whatever it was that had caused her to lose her son on the BoardWalk that night, is an incredible challenge. She felt she had let her son down as well as her previous marriage. It only spurs on Laddie’s father to find him and gain total custody of the boy.

Living with four rambunctious teenage boys is a handful in itself, so it’s not a wonder that Laddie swears like a sailor, a terrible habit he picked up from the boys. Yet his one sister attempted profusely to set a better example for him. David and Paul find it hilarious that Laddie has a filthy potty mouth, whereas Dwayne and Star aren’t a fan of his newfound language.

Hey, watch your language, bud.” Dwayne states sternly, chocolate orbs glowering into Laddie’s smaller ones.

Pussy!” Paul bursts out in between a false coughing fit.

Laddie truly adores reading comic books frequently. In fact, the Frog brothers knew Laddie far before they knew the Emerson’s, they just didn’t acknowledge the kid all that much since he was far younger than them. This was especially since they were far too engrossed in blabbering about vampires, their investment in their own stuff made it impossible for them to give an ounce of attention to him. In their eyes he was always just the little twerp that stood on his tiptoes at the counter in their parents store, sprinkling dollar bills on top of a fat stack of mad magazine, Batman, and secretly some horror comics stuffed underneath the other ones he’d picked out.

“ ’Scuse me, can I get these,“ Laddie inquired politely, his eyes peering up at the two brothers behind the counter arguing over what the best way to waste a vampire was.

Uh, yeah sure kid, whatever.” Alan stated fervently, his eyes still plastered on his brother’s brooding gaze.

Edgar stuffed them into a plastic bag without sparing the kid a glance. “$15.75.”

Okay.” Laddie stated in defeat before scooting over a wadded up ball of a $20 bill onto the counter before collecting his change and leaving with his head hung low.

Laddie is still a sucker for comics and wants new ones on a constant basis, it’s certainly something that aids him in passing the time at the hotel. Yet Paul’s adamant that he isn’t going to pay those dorks at the comic book store a single cent from his pocket. And David is a master at mental illusions, so there is one hell of a team to concoct a way to steal comic books. Neither Paul nor David feel any shame in it. David will create the illusion that Paul is walking by the store, only to actually be stealing a stack of comics to keep the poor kid happy.

Star and her inability to part with her human nature and high morals, is never too thrilled about the entire ordeal of stealing comics for Laddie. Laddie sees nothing wrong with it and only responds with utter enthusiasm at how awesome Paul is because Paul can do whatever he wants! This leads to Laddie following in the footsteps of the other boys, believing that he can both take and have whatever he wants, whenever he wants it no matter if there’s real life consequences involved because he can use his gifts (with training from David) to acquire all of his desires.

It’s also a common occurrence for Laddie to experience homesickness; after all, he misses his parents dearly because even though they weren’t the most astounding or perfection parents, they were still his parents. When this occurs, he’ll often seek out Dwayne or Star for comfort, sitting beside them, perched into their sides. They will attentively listen to him, reminding him of how much they themselves and the other boys love him and how they aren’t going anywhere. They all will be together forever. They’d even let him know that his parents and grandparents still love him too, even if he has a new family now.

Laddie unfortunately had to learn the hard way not to go to David about this specific predicament, because whenever he did, David would unintentionally guilt trip the kid about missing his parents. It wasn’t something he meant to do, it was just that David had never really had a home or a family that cared about him, his world before being a vampire was a dog eat dog world. You had to fend for yourself and choose your family. Even then he’d seen people get chewed out for trusting the wrong folks. So there’s a huge disconnection between the pair when it comes to familial things.

Whereas Marko and Paul will do things that will take Laddie’s mind right off of the down parts of being a missing child. They’ll happily play with him, get him his favorite food, read comics with him, steal said comics from the comic book store, maybe even let him help them tinker on their bikes, blast some gnarly music, you name it! They’re prepared to go all out in helping him feel happier where he is in the present and understand that he has a place with them.

Now, as for Laddie’s tantrums… well, every child has them. Usually they tend to be pretty humorous to Paul, Marko and David- that is until something happens to their precious stuff. To be fair he is an eight year old boy, of course he wants to mess with Paul’s Walkman or Marko’s bike keys! Paul nearly had an aneurysm when he saw Laddie accidentally ripped his mint condition 1965 Playboy Magazine.

Dude who the fuck- my fuckin- WHAT THE FUCK MAN?!“

Laddie, who had been a bit spoilt from months of pampering from a group of enabling teenagers, showed minimal signs of remorse. ”They were ugly anyway, she hand on granny panties or something.“

Dwayne had to step in and hold Paul back from wringing the kids neck out like a wet dish towel!  ”Dude, Paul he’s a kid"

“I will eat you, you little turd!”

Once again, David cracks up frequently until Laddie begins to delve into his stuff also. It all began when he wanted to go for a ride and David being the more lazy member of the group had turned him down, especially in a much firmer tone the second time around. So what did the little shit do? Hide all of their keys to their bikes.

Dude, where are my fuckin’ keys,” Paul hissed, digging through the cave like a tornado went through the damn thing. 

Yours too?” Marko exclaimed his question, settling down the couch he had lifted onto the ground. “Mine vanished.

David chuckled to himself, that was until he patted his pocket where his precious motorcycle keys had suddenly proved to be void of its contents. “Alright which one of you assholes stole my keys?!”

However that confrontation ignited an inferno of a tantrum from the small boy, who was so used to suddenly getting his way and now he was faced with the harsh reality of being told no. The boys should have really thought twice of enabling an eight year old boy! A fit from a kid can get ugly real quick, yet it’s a whole different story when that kid is an emotional half vampire that flips tables and screams at such a volume and octave that glass cracks. Star tends to primarily be a softer disciplinarian, she isn’t fond of the idea of yelling or smacking him, she’s much too gentle for that. Dwayne on the other hand, while preferring to approach things along the placid route, feels that sometimes it’s a necessary evil- while David just straight up thinks that a good smack on the mouth ought to settle him down.

Laddie is a thorn in their asses when he’s bored out of his mind, and the boys learned rather harshly and swiftly that having a little brother was not as fun as the Brady Bunch had it appear. This kid got into all their stuff, no matter how fool proof they made it, the kid always found a way! He would follow them excessively around the cave like a lost puppy, tell them the same story for HOURS on end, ask far too many questions that Marko would just blank the kid out with his music, only for Laddie to talk even louder! It was more than evident that the child had little concern over the fact that they were killers, he’d still happily pester them until they vamped out. In fact, he went out of his way to do that! The crazy little shit…

Laddie would climb on top of one of the many dust caked couches in the hotel right next to where David was reading and peek over his shoulder to get a noseful of whatever he was focused on. “Whatcha reading?” Laddie asked innocently, chin resting on the blonde vampires shoulder.

“….War and peace.” David grumbled irately.

What’s that? It’s big! It looks boring! Why are the words so tiny? What’s it about? Who’s the hero? Who’s your favorite hero? Mine’s batman! Well, I like Iron Man too but Batman has all the gadgets and stuff, and I like his cape but I guess you don’t need a cape to be cool, but I like the cape anyway- I like Superman’s cuz it’s red, red’s my favorite color. What’s your favorite color? Well I mean red’s super cool- oh but black! Black is really cool, i guess you probably like black too huh? I mean you wear it all the time, but really maybe it’s cuz-” he had blabbered all of that out in one go without so much as a breath in between his sentences! And David selfishly wondered what the repercussions were on if he flew the kid onto a random cliff and left him there for several hours. He knew it probably couldn’t be good, but it was worth a try if he was ever going to catch a break and get this book finished! Not to mention the countless times that Paul’s thrown into the mix of things, David can’t stomach it and leaves the room because he can’t handle two obnoxious chatter boxes all at once. Star yelled at him once for hypnotizing Laddie to fall asleep because he wouldn’t stop talking about Batman and Robin.

It’s obvious that Laddie tends to ride with Dwayne, and it’s because Dwayne is capable of ensuring that Laddie stays in one piece. If the kid had his way and rode with Paul… let’s just say that Laddie would be smeared road kill! And frankly, none of the other vampires trust Paul with the kid. Last time he rode with Paul, he was nearly flung forward when he went off of a steep ramp. Star almost slapped the smirk straight off of Paul’s face! Even Marko thought it was a bad move of Paul’s. So, it was a collective decision - minus Paul’s whining and bitching, in conjunction with Laddie’s pouting - that Laddie rode with Dwayne from now on.

When the boys were killed off one by one, Laddie was the only one who was saddened by this, because he had formed genuine bonds with his older brothers and even though they weren’t perfect, they’d kept their word to him and kept him safe. He was going to miss Paul and Marko playing with him and teaching him cool stuff about bikes and rock n’ roll. He’d even miss David and the way the man got irritated whenever he flitted about him. But the one he was surely going to miss the most was obviously Dwayne. Dwayne was like the older brother that Laddie had dreamed of ever since he was a kid. Dwayne had taken him under his wing and ensured that no one messed with him. He listened to him whenever he was homesick and was always super patient with him and just all around compassionate. Out of all of the boys, Laddie related to him the most. And now he was gone. Though each boy held a special place in his heart. As he left the Emmerson residence, he didn’t have the stomach to look at their dead bodies as he sniffled on his way out, tears streaming down his face. Although they hadn’t been the best to Star and sometimes weren’t the kindest to him, he knew that they had loved the pair of them and deep down, Laddie would always love them.

After the entire ordeal, Laddie decided he’d set foot on finding his parents again and sadly left Star behind. She reminded him a lot of the boys and she would always have a special place in his heart. Before he left he hugged the life out of her, staining her gypsy purple skirt with his tears as he thanked her for loving him and taking such good care of him. He promised her that he’d never forget her and he hoped she never would forget him. Star was heartbroken but also knew that it was best for Laddie to return to his parents and live his life out normally. She hoped he’d grow up to be everything wonderful in life and she assured him that he would remain important and ever present in her gentle heart. A long way down the line they met each other again and embraced like close siblings that hadn’t seen each other in centuries. They were much older now and wiser.

But back to the present, Laddie stumbled upon his mother on the BoardWalk that night, as though it were a miracle. The woman looked strikingly similar to Star, she was the woman that he had remembered from earlier on in his childhood, and he was truly overcome with joy. He got to see his father again which made him happy also. Although his parents couldn’t work things out, they managed to come to a steady agreement that they would have equal joint custody of Laddie, which was something that made things easier on him to adjust back to ordinary life. However, whilst he was missing, his beloved grandparents passed away, never having lost hope in Laddie being alive and returning home someday. Laddie missed them dearly but he adjusted as best as he could to his brand new life. He was never really the same after being with the boys and Star and losing them all, his parents were aware of the change but Laddie never discussed what had happened to him, only responding in vague statements or exclamations.

Somehow though, he found a way to keep in touch with Star, Michael, Lucy, Sam and the Frog brothers. They were all connected through these twisted and sad chain of events, and his bonds with them only deepened as he got older. Even Though they had remained adrift in life, Star, Sam, Lucy and Michael showed up for Laddie’s graduation when he finally got through high school. Even still he remained in Santa Carla up until his graduation dinner out with the Emmersons, Star and even the Frog Brothers had shown up. Wandering for a moment on his own, his pace slowed until he came to a haunting stop.

Just beyond the tilt-a whirl, outside the arcade, he swore, parked on the boardwalk he could see a group of biker boys. As the 80s peeled away into the wild teenage rebellion of the 90s, their styles had altered. A blonde still sported a wild lion’s mane, another had messy curls grown out. The platinum blonde one was the first to alert the other three of Laddie’s gaze. The four grunge rockers sported bizarrely skeletal motorcycles, laughing with each other, now carrying mischievous smiles. Before he could even confirm the haunting visage of said familiar faces they vanished in a flurry of roaring engines. The last to leave looked at him with dark, haunting brown eyes. He could see under the guy’s leather jacket and torn up Nirvana t-shirt jagged scar tissue around each of his limbs faded into bronze skin. They just looked at each other for what felt like a lifetime, and a wave of chills trickled down his back. The raven haired biker smirked at him, no malice in his grin. Only a soft farewell, proud even. And then he was gone. Laddie managed to take a deep breath in, silently turning on his heel to return to Star and Michael at the diner. When he got home he was applying to a few out of city colleges, somewhere away from his past.
