You're more my thing. "Flowers please," he squeaked, taking no notice of the other boy's awkwardness as he was too worried about his own. If there was one word to describe Tadhg, awkward would definitely be it. He had never really had a proper friendship back in Ireland and it had only worsened when he came to America. Socialization was always a struggle for him.
"I mean, don't fruits 'n stuff have flowers too?" he asked, head tilted slightly. "Cause apple trees have flowers before the apples come," He hoped he was right about this. He didn't want to further humiliate himself. The gestation of fruits was something one would usually learn in school, but Tadhg had been too busy being tormented to pay much attention

He tilted his head, pondering Alaric's words. "I always got matches with me. You should like, have an emergency supply of 'em in a pack or something, yeah?" he suggested. His expression seemed to darken at the burning comment. It was kind of scary how quickly the boy's demeanor could change, giggling one moment and completely serious the next.
Fleeting images flashed before him. Screaming muffled by the crackling of flames soon, followed by the wailing sirens. He closed his eyes, breathing rapidly as the memories cascaded over him like a hellish waterfall. He was terrified by the past which often haunted him. Certain words would set him off, and Alaric had certainly hit those buttons.
He reopened his eyes, smiling nervously as he avoided eye contact. He didn't want fire boy to think he was a freak or a psycho or any of those other things people called him. Tadhg desperately wanted to befriend the boy and having flashbacks in the middle of their conversation wasn't helping. "Fire eats everything," he agreed softly, his once excited voice having become quiet and somewhat timid.

Tadhg finally had the cabin to himself. He tried to avoid being there when any of his siblings were, as Ri and Tomas would almost always be fighting. He hated watching them fight. It made him cry and he hated crying. He would usually run to a secluded part of camp and light matches until it blew over.
He had returned to the cabin early in the morning to find both Tomas and Ri gone. He assumed his sister had gone to see Blake and as for his brother... Well, he was never really sure where Tomas went off to. The young boy had flopped onto his bed, happy to finally lay somewhere comfy. He was just daydreaming at first but his mind quickly began to wander. It's not like he was trying to think about flower boy, but to be fair he was just a pubescent teenager with a crush.
Tadhg sure as hell wasn't expecting Rileigh to be back so soon. She didn't even bother to knock, busting in like she was the only one living there. Her timing could not have been worse. He tried to stop himself. He really did, but it was too late. The poor kid orgasmed with his sister watching on in horror. The worst part? He let out an audible moan. Definitely added to his growing list of things to erase from memory.
"Fucking hell!" he squeaked, face bright red as he yanked a blanket up to cover himself. "You didn't just- I mean, I'm not-" he stuttered, dying of embarrassment. There was no way to get out of this one. Maybe he could just hide under his blankets and pretend to disappear? Or set himself on fire. It would be basically equal if not better to his current situation.

It hadn't really occurred to Tadhg that Persephone not only reigned over all things spring, but the Underworld as well. That could only mean that Cyrus currently had control over the the shadows... The boy shivered slightly. All of that wasn't particularly a friend of his. He'd never admit it, but it scared him slightly. The dark in general was scary enough. There was too much uncertainty, too much that could be lurking just beyond his field of vision.
"I don't know much about flowers to be honest..." he mumbled a bit bashfully. He could've lied and acted like some sort of genius, but that wouldn't get him anywhere if they actually had to talk about it. Besides, Cy was cute when he talked botany. All happy and focused and kinda dorky... Tadhg blushed, biting his lip. "Maybe you could show me?" he asked hopefully.

"Flowers! Yes!" he cut in excitedly, brightening up instantly at the boy's suggestion. He didn't know much about flowers other than they were fragile and beautiful, much like Cyrus. He had never been particularly interested in flowers, appreciating them from afar but not wanting to damage them. He had the same fear in the back of his mind over flower boy. He had planned on only just watching him, but clearly that hadn't worked out.
"Your mom is Persephone, right?" he asked. He already knew who Cy's mom was, but it was probably best to not tell him that. He had learned quite a bit from just wandering around camp like a shadow. He liked learning about others. It was a good distraction. "Mine is Eris. I don't have any cool powers, really."

He already knew the boy's name was Alaric, but decided to keep that fact to himself. Best to not completely weird him out within the first 5 minutes of talking to him. Tadhg desperately wanted to be his friend and admitting to listening in on his conversations probably wouldn't help.
His eyes darted from the boy's face to his hand as Alaric retrieved a lighter. The young boy's heart sped up and his breath seemed to catch in his throat. Tadhg personally liked matches but lighters did the same thing. They started fire. His eyes widened as he leaned closer, watching with great intensity as Alaric sparked the lighter. A small gasp escaped his lips as Alaric put the flame in his hand like it was nothing. Didn't it hurt?!
It dawned on him that the son of Hephaestus couldn't get burnt. He wished the same was true for him. The boy had more burns than he could keep track of, some inflicted by plain recklessness and others by his father's will. He had been to the infirmary more than enough times for quite literally playing with matches. It was a damn miracle he hadn't yet burned down the Eris cabin, the key word being yet. No doubt Ri would beat his arse if he did.
The flame was extinguished and it seemed Tadhg could breathe normally again, though his heart was still racing. "That was amazing..." he murmured in awe, completely captivated. "I wish I could do that... Doubt it, though. Don't think the chaos goddess has any reign over fire," In fact, he wasn't entirely sure what his powers would be at all. His elder siblings didn't seem to have any, at least none that he could see. It seemed all that Tadhg was good at was crying and breaking things.

The small boy stumbled back a bit as Alaric fell from the bench, eyes wide. Oh gods, he didn't mean to scare him. Tadhg stared at the boy as he got back on his feet, eventually having to look up as Alaric stood nearly a foot taller than him. He let out a small squeak at the height difference, unconsciously standing on his tippy-toes to try and make up for it.
"Oh! I just kinda... I saw the fire and..." he mumbled, shrugging. Gods was he bad at interacting. He tried so hard, he really did. Everywhere he went he would attempt to befriend others but it seemed no matter what he did he failed. He blamed himself for being too shy, unaware of the darkness that followed him.
He nodded happily at Alaric's suggestion, trying not to seem too excited as he sat across from the boy. He could now see him eye to eye rather than looking up like a small child. This didn't help his confidence in the least, blushing as he avoided eye-contact.
"I'm Tadhg. I just got here a few months ago." He explained shakily, accent thick from his nerves. Hopefully fire boy wouldn't have heard of the incident that brought him to camp. It seemed that everyone knew all the details, but Tadhg was hopeful since Alaric didn't seem to recognize him. "You're the son of Hephaestus and you have fire... Eris is my ma but I don't know what my powers are,"

Tadhg was awkwardly lingering in the shadows of the pavilion. The kid had yet to make any friends despite his best efforts. People were scared of him thanks to the news coverage. The coverage on his crimes described him as psychotic, violent, insane even. It seemed everywhere the son of Eris went his past followed him, keeping others away. He hadn't meant to kill that boy but no one seemed to care what his intentions were. All that mattered was that he had lost it and killed someone.
And so he had become accustomed to lurking around camp like some sort of dirty secret. He had ways to pass the time, though. Tadhg had taken up a certain interest in a son of Hephaestus, following around the boy named Alaric like a lost puppy. It wasn't an obsession, but had definitely become close to one. His fascination was partly caused by the fact that Alaric had control over fire. Tadhg liked fire, and therefor he liked Alaric.
He crept towards the Hephaestus boy like a nervous child, shaking slightly. For all the rage pent up inside of him he was an awfully shy boy. "H-hi..." he mumbled once he was close enough. He rocked back and forth on his heels, nervously glancing at the dark-haired boy. "I heard you became cabin counselor... I just wanted to congratulate you..."

"No! No, don't worry 'bout it at all! I honestly wouldn't mind if ya talked me ear off 'cause I like listenin' to you speak lots," he said quickly, words hard to understand as his accent thickened due to how fast her was speaking. His face turned even more red at the realization of his own words. "N-not in like a weird way or anything..." He internally face-palmed. Way to go, Tadhg. First falling on your face now this... he scolded himself mentally.
"I just came here to..." He came to a complete stop, mind shooting blanks. He hadn't actually planned this far into their interaction. He stared at the other boy, wide-eyed like a deer caught in headlights. "I'm really bad at talking to people, sorry..." he mumbled, just about ready to dig a hole and stay in it forever.

He internally groaned in embarrassment as he took the boys hand and was pulled to his feet. He quickly yanked his hand away, blushing. Oh god, he knew his name. He squeaked, looking down at the ground and biting his bottom lip. "Uh... Yeah..." He mumbled, glancing back up at the flower boy.
"Oh, hi Cyrus," he squeaked, obviously nervous. "I was just, uh... Looking at the strawberries? And then... I tripped... over strawberries. Yeah..." The excuse was weak and honestly a bit of a mess. It wasn't exactly an option to tell Cyrus that he had basically been stalking him. The poor Eris boy had a bit of what one may call a school-girl crush.

Perhaps a huge field of very flammable plants wasn't the smartest place for a fire-obsessed kid to be, but for once flames weren't on the young boys mind. He was too busy watching flower boy to bother with his usual mischief. Okay, so flower boy probably wasn't really his name, but it wasn't like Tadhg was going to just walk up and ask what it was. Besides, the boy was always tending to flowers and reminded Tadhg of a flower himself.
Flower boy noticing him watching wasn't at all a part of the plan though. Maybe it was a bit creepy that he was just watching him through the plants, but that hadn't at all occurred to the Eris kid. The child of Persephone seemed to know he was being watched, though. And, so like an sane person, Tadhg decided it was best to abort whilst panicking.
He squeaked, attempting to turn around and run, but only managing to get a few steps before falling flat on his face. He let out a muffled "Ow," and prepared to succumb to his embarassing fate, staying face down in the dirt. Probably not the most graceful first impression to one's crush.

As much as Tadhg would deny it, he was still a kid and tended to act like one. He was doing just that as he slunk into the infirmary, holding his arm to his chest. Instead of being concerned for his safety, he was more just irritated, if not slightly embarrassed, by getting hurt in the first place.
His presence in the room was a bit awkward, the young boy just sort of standing in the entrance. "I... Uh, kinda got burned..." he mumbled, chewing on his bottom lip as he glanced towards Greyson. He knew most of the kids who worked at the infirmary by name. This was far from the first time he'd arrived at the infirmary with burns. He must have set some sort of record for the few months he'd been at Camp.
