Gast - Tumblr Posts

Note: if anyone's curious as to why I didn't share the 3rd book, it's because it has sensitive topics and unless some expresses interest in seeing it, I don't wanna add to the millions of other sensitive topics on the internet.

But, now it's time for the last member of the group.

Gast doesn'thavealastnamebecausespoliers

Gast is a very shy boy who seems to have no presence. When he's at school, he's frequently ignored where people don't even notice he's standing right in front of them. He doesn't mind that since he's a worried, anxious, and shy young man.

Being a new student, no one really even knows who he is either. However, he ends up seeing the group when they're exiting a rift and after seeing other strange events like this, asks the group if he could be protected by them.

Cassie is extremely willing to help him out and he joins the group!

Because of his low presence, they often use Gast to get things they would otherwise be seen trying to obtain. Gast is also very sensitive to emotions and because of that has a fear of animals since they're more emotion based than humans or other species.

Here's an excerpt of my boi:

*A/n: he goes by Abel when he's first introduced*

Neither Cassie nor Larson were very concerned about the individual, but they felt differently about how to handle him having seen them.

Jax was more level headed and tried to think of the situation as rationally as he could.

“You g-guys are freaks!” The boy started to breathe very heavily. Taking in audible, quick, and deep breaths while holding his chest.

“Woah, calm down…” Jax tried to ease him. “Can you tell us your name at least?”

His eyes shut tight, but he spoke. “A-abel…” He seemed to be getting worse with his erratic breathing and unsteady feet.

Jax continued his efforts and told him to sit down. Abel now sat inside Jax’s car while catching his breath.

The trio then moved to stand around him. With how everything seemed, they needed to make a decision sooner rather than later. However, that wasn't going to happen while the boy remained in his state of distress.

Cassie stayed a bit away from him in order to give him some breathing room and no one said anything. They let him calm down and soon he seemed to be getting better.

At this, Cassie spoke up. “Are you good now?”

“A bit better…” He managed to say. “But that’s all.” He paused looking up. “B-but, still, can you guys tell me what’s g-going on?”

“What do you mean by that?” Larson asked.

“Like, you guys going into that… thing o-over there and coming out like two minutes later!”

“It was really two minutes?” Cassie turned and asked Jax.

Jax smiled. “That’s a good base to start with, but I’d still like to get a real timer and make a proper conversion.”

“What are you guys talking about?” Abel asked.

“Nothing, but if you’re really curious, answer my question first and you’ll get your answer?” Larson said. Abel said nothing and he went on. “Why did you follow us?”

Abel took a small pause and lowered his head slightly. “While you’re right that I was kind of… s-stalking you guys. I only was because you guys turned down that girl who’s been bothering me!”

“You mean that kind of promiscuous girl?” Cassie spoke.

Larson scoffed. “I think you mean a slu-”

“I’ll kill you if you say that Lars.” He clicked his tongue and didn’t speak. “But her?” Cassie asked, returning her attention to Abel.

“Yeah… her name is Mandy and ever since I got here, she won’t leave me alone.” He let out an uncomfortable moan. “She finds me wherever I am, no matter how hard I try to avoid her. On that day when you guys were with your dog in the park, she found me there as well! Then, I saw you guys talking and she left and hasn't bothered me since then.” He explained. “I just kind of… want that to continue.” His voice dropped off by the end.

“Why?” Jax asked.

“Because! I-I just don’t want people getting too c-close to me… I-I’m not the type of person who likes a lot of attention, I just wanna be left alone...” His voice trailed as he went on and his head dropped with every word.

“But we’re fine?” Larson seemed unconvinced.

Abel tried to defend himself. “I-it’s a lot better than having a g-girl who n-never knows when to leave you alone,” Abel said, “p-plus, like I said; I saw you guys go in that thing and… and that's not the weirdest thing I’ve seen since I got here! I saw a guy lift up a boulder with o-one finger and I figured he was just like you guys and I-” He began to breathe heavily again.

Cassie crouched down and gave him a soft smile. “Hey, you don’t have to tell us, okay?” He looked at her. “I can believe you, and I think I know what you’re asking of us.”

“Huh?” Abel said as Cassie returned to standing normally.

“You want to be our friend!” Everyone just stared at her. “I know you all are staring at me like I’m crazy, but screw all of you ‘cause I know I’m right.” She snapped at their silence. “Whether you like it or not, the only way we can protect you from all these dangerous things going around is for you to be our friend.” Cassie turned back and gave the biggest smile she could to Jax and Larson. “Alright?”

“I should be impressed,” Larson said, “it only took you seconds to decide something this time.”

“See? I’m getting better aren’t I?”

“More like worse.”

Cassie frowned. “What did you say?”

Cassie and Larson began to bicker while Jax just returned to Abel. “Do you mind accepting her offer? Cassie’s a hard one to turn down.”

Abel’s eyes fixed on them, he felt himself calm down seeing as how none of them were totally fixated on him. “I don’t know if I should trust you guys yet or not.”

Jax smiled. “At the very least, if Cassie says it, it’s a given. So if she wants you to be her friend, then it means we all agree.”

Abel looked up at Jax before letting out a sigh. “I’m… alright being friends with you all… that is if I really can?”

Jax smiled. “Like I said, it’s a given if Cassie says so.” Jax then looked up in thought. “But I would’ve waited if I were you.”

Abel's eyes widened. “H-huh? Why?”

Jax laughed. “I’m kidding.”

Abel let out a sigh and relaxed as the pair went on arguing...

Fun fact: Gast's hair style is based on Belphie's from Obey Me! I didn't intend for that, but after I made it, I realized they were too similar to be coincidence.
