Crispin had a lot going on in his world. He was preparing for his senior year, after all. He had finally asked the girl of his dreams out on their first date! She had said yes! He still couldn't believe it!! She was incredible, he felt like the luckiest Grimm in the universe. Cris still needed to plan out a romantic date for them...but he'd get there. Lilja was an awesome friend, and even if they didn't end up dating it was an exciting first-time experience for the easy-going junior. Since he needed nice date ideas...maybe he could ask his packmates like Lilja suggested?

His Pack...

Time had sure flown by fast, hadn't it? They weren't small freshlings anymore. They were all so busy and didn't always seem to have time for each other anymore. Had he given them all enough of himself? Tobias and Keegan seemed to be in love, and Kobe...his beloved twin brother seemed distant from him. Crispin felt guilty in some ways. He was always busy with practice, school work and hanging out with Lilja it seemed like the days had swept past him like a hurricane.

He himself was still the energetic, easy going kid who loved to play. Crispin was just taller. Even as he got older, and his body stronger, the snow colored grimm continued on with his interest in various sports. He wanted to be a police officer someday. To accomplish that, he needed to be in shape. The only question was, was he the leader he had always tried to strive for? Wasn't that the most important thing? His pack always came first in his mind.

Without his pack, who would he have to turn to when he needed someone? Who else would he have shared memories with? They were the reason he strived to be a better Grimm. Yet...was it his imagination? Or did they seem to be drifting apart? The realization had kept him up late on many occasions, as he tried his best to keep the pieces together. Crispin held out hope that they would always have each other, to think anything less was just..sad.

Thoughts such as these swirled around inside Crispin's mind. He had time still to try and make amends. He finally settled for, needing this to hold onto for now. In truth, Crispin wasn't sure what the future held. Yet, felt the excitement on one paw, and apprehension towards the unknown on the other. All he could do was keep putting his best foot forward. That was the only way Crispin knew how to handle his stress. Pack was Family, and even if they went different paths and roads in life they would always have each other. Crispin had always believed that, and now, on the tail end of his Junior year, he held on tightly to this belief.

For now, it was this very same hope he had, that gave him the courage to face the days. Crispin wanted to be someone his friends and family could depend on.
