       Wrong Side of Town
       By: Minyaagar Date: February 10, 2026, 12:44 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Casimir slid to the streets to wipe the gun as good as he could
       and threw it in the lake.
       “bitch making me do this shit- gonna teach her a lesson!” He
       mumbled as he tried to keep pace.
       The man managed to ditch his pursuers in the crowds, yanking off
       his stone to chunk it. They’d be chasing a blonde and blue eyed
       man, with a tan. He slid into a club in an effort to keep on the
       down low.  He found the nearest seat on the bar and caught his
       breath.”give me.. a water first..” he finished-.”follow with
       something hard.” He said as he mentally cursed his situation.
       —
       The day had been wasted by spending it arguing with her mother
       all morning, Fefe wasn't going to let her mom control her life
       and had promptly began getting ready to go out partying, which
       started another fight about how much she partied.
       By the time she had finally left the house Nefertiti was ready
       to fight God himself if anyone tried to stop her. She chose her
       favorite club that hosted adult entertainment just the give an
       extra middle finger to her mom.
       The social light was on the dance floor after only a few drinks
       and had come back to the bar to get a refill when she spotted a
       sexy tattooed guy. Her mom would hate him which made her quite
       drawn in.
       "You look down, need a pick me up? I got some candy," she
       suggested, mentioning the lsd candy she kept. She had just
       picked it up on her way in.
       -
       Casimir took the water to gulp it down. Once he felt calmer went
       for the whisky. He was sipping it slow when he heard a soft
       voice.. his head turned and he saw a hell of a knockout of a
       woman. He could help but look her over.”oh I could use a pick me
       up alright.. “ he murmured. He took one to pop it in his mouth.
       Looked like karma was on his side today- “what is a beauty like
       you doing in a seedy place like this?” He flirted a little. It
       only took a few glances at the few things she did wear that
       screamed money.  It was possible she was rolling in it- but that
       meant to find out if it was possible. His eyes gave a glance
       around.”..names Casimir.. what’s yours? Like to thank you for
       the pick me up… “ he said with a smirk.
       —
       "If I'm being honest? Mom pissed me off, so, I'm trying to get
       back at her. I'm Fefe, What did you have in mind as a thank
       you?" Nefertiti questioned with a once over. She wasn't about to
       give the shady man her full name, as hot as he was he screamed
       bad news.
       -
       “Ah- I see.” Said Casimir to chuckle.”depends on you beautiful-
       want me to buy a drink… or steal a kiss? Could make mom extra
       mad with a hickey…”He flirted a bit. “Fefe.” He said with a
       smirk.  His eyes traveled to notice the ravagers not that far
       off either. He would play nice for now- most often times strip
       bars were safe spaces given they all supported that at least. He
       hoped Eden was hauling ass.
       His breathing calmed down as he spoke to the woman- and his
       heart didn’t feel like it was pounding a mile a minute as it was
       earlier.
       —
       "Hmmm why dont i buy the drink, Do some shots with me and we can
       dance and we can definitely make out," Fefe decided, easily
       getting the bartenders attention before using her card to open
       up a tab.
       "Two shots please, and a martini extra salt, you want another
       whiskey?" She questioned Cas, the pair soon having their drinks.
       The party girl had the shot down in record time and the martini
       finished next.
       The moment Casimir had finished his, Neffy was pulling him out
       onto the dance floor before beginning to dance on him.
       -
       Casimir made a smirk at the idea of dancing and making out.  He
       took his whisky and down the shot, he was enjoying himself to
       dance- what he didn’t expect was Eden of all people to come out
       and cause more chaos.
       He facepalmed a she heard her bullshitting trying to buy time to
       think. It always had been her go to when backed into a corner.
       “Hide.” He had said his arm in front of fefe awfully
       protectively. He knew how rough these fights got especially when
       it came to the talutah and fanatics- they often fought over
       turf, money, and more.
       The only thing that put him and Eden different from the rest was
       they tried to keep innocent people out of their fights normally.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Seeing her dance partners seeming change in deminer and hearing
       Casimir tell her to hide in the bathroom put Fefe on edge,
       letting out a scared sound when the giant of a beastkin got
       himself involved and everything fell into an all out brawl. The
       pampered social light went to run for the bathroom, finding
       herself snagged by one of the talutah vang members who was more
       than happy to drag her out as a hostage.
       It was as the man had drawn attention to himself that Nefertiti
       managed to get her tazor out, jammed it between the man's ribbs
       and let him have it with the tazer getting him to let go, Neffy
       finding her sleaeve torn but she was otherwise physically fine.
       -
       Casimir who was ready to dive in a fight for himself was going
       in with his own brass knuckles. His head turned hearing a noise
       of her being snatched to glare. Once she was down did he see
       another coming up behind her to snag her arm and socked the guy
       out. Once he managed he looked over fefe.”you alright?” He asked
       with a clear shiner on his own face. “No bruises right?” He
       asked to check her over.
       —
       A fresh look of fear had come to Nefertiti when she was grabbed
       yet again for Casimir to rush to her rescue punching the man out
       cold. What she didn't expect was for this hardened gangster to
       begin to fuss over her.
       "I'm fine, I'm fine... you look like someone slugged you good...
       are you okay?" She questioned with a worried expression.
       -
       Casimir made a soft breath out.”I’m fine- just didn’t want ya to
       deal with those jokes- good on keeping a tazer. Sorry about that
       shirt though.” He said.  “I’ll live- ain’t the first fight I
       have been in.” He said with a rather proud smirk as if he was
       bragging. “Hadn’t lost though so that’s good.”
       —
       The response Casimir gave and the rather proud look the made
       held had Fefe giggling. "Mmhmm right, well, thank you for saving
       me," she said, kissing his cheek.
       "You were... very brave... think i need a stiff drink though..."
       She praised, still quite shaken from the experience.
       -
       Casimir felt the kiss to his cheek and blushed a bit. He wasn’t
       use to being thanked this way. “I’ll buy this time.. and for
       your shirt too…” he said flushing a bit. He turned enough to see
       Eden walking off with two tall men and got a brief worried
       expression- but he knew she’d be okay- “what would you like
       fefe?” He questioned with a smile,
       —
       "Long Island ice tea, on the rocks, two extra shots please, you
       don't need to worry about my shirt, I can always buy a new
       one... tell you what, you can make it up to me by coming with me
       on a shopping trip!" Fefe decided as she looped her arm with his
       to drag him to the bar, the only sign of the experience
       affecting her was how she clung to Casimir's arm like the man
       was her only comfort.
       She of course didn't let him pay for the drink, adding it to the
       card she had put on file. Soon she had her drink and had ordered
       something for Casimir. "Think a few more drinks in me and we can
       try dancing again?" She suggested.
       -
       Casimir felt his arm taken as he heard the idea of shllling to
       flush a bit. All he knew was boobs was on his arm. Mean wasn’t
       the first time- but it was a woman that was actually interested.
       He noticed how she laid for everything and ordered a drink for
       him. It almost felt like he never was apart of some gang.. that
       he was on a date with a woman and trying to enjoy themselves.
       ”sounds good to me hot stuff-“ he complimented to down the
       drinks. It wasn’t long till they were dancing again, the man
       enjoying fefe being so close. Her bright smile and just overall
       sensual she was had his own mind going places. He figured
       quietly he’d date her when he could and see where it would go.
       It be an opportunity to try and leave the fanatics very few were
       ever lucky to do so.
       Course it didn’t mean he’d give up all the fun with it- he just
       wouldn’t have someone telling him what to do.
       The music thrummed as he put his hands on her hips.”really can
       make these babies move hm?” He said in her ear as he enjoyed her
       scent.
       —
       Soon, they were back on the dance floor. The booze mixing with
       the ecstasy they had taken getting her in full party girl mode
       as she enjoyed how her body moved so perfectly against
       Casimir's. Feeling his hands settling on her hips and the
       comment had her smirking. Her arms draping over his shoulders as
       one moved up to tangle in his two toned hair.
       "You have no idea... we could go to a hotel room and... I can
       really show you how well they can move," Nefertiti flirted,
       pulled the bad boy gangster into a steamy kiss.
       -
       Casimir felt the hand in his hair as he blushed a bit. “Oh? That
       sounds-“ he started before his mouth was covered by a steamy
       kiss. A groan slid out into it. It had been a while. The idea of
       her on top and seeing her nak.ed egged in his high/drunk
       mind.”let’s go have some fun beautiful.” He said to nip at her
       neck. His worries just about forgotten as he left Eden to her
       own devices.
       He took her hand as he asked.”how we gonna get there?”
       —
       The way Casimir reacted to her attention had Fefe grinning wide
       as she pulled back and took his hand to lead him away from the
       dance floor and towards the exit. "You leave the details to me,"
       she mused with a wink before she pulled her phone out and began
       to speedily text with one hand.
       By the time they got outside, there was a black town car waiting
       for them, the driver getting out to open the door to let them
       inside. She was quick to pull him inside, recapturing the man's
       lips with her own after she gave the driver instructions on
       where to take them before they were off.
       The pair would be dropped off at a high end luxury hotel in the
       most affluent area in the oasis. She finally stopped making out
       with Cas to drag him out of the car with a short thank you to
       the driver before they were checking into the hotel.
       The place was everything you would expect from a hotel for the
       rich. The room they would be given was the size of an average
       apartment with all the amenities. The trust fund brat wasn't all
       that interested in exploring the hotel room as she pushed
       Casimir back onto the bed before her clothes were discarded,
       leaving her in just her lacy black bra and thong. She slowly
       crawled into the bed to help her gangster get undressed, her
       hands exploring his exposed skin. The tattoos and scars a stark
       contrast to her unmarked pristine skin save for the few tattoos
       she had.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Casimir went with it, as the cool night air hit his skin. He
       slid in seeing the side eye of the driver to just smirk, before
       the swift yank inside and more lips. He was smitten and drawn in
       as they would make out as they got to the hotel.
       Casimir not use to the high life did stare for a moment to be
       pulled away for the inside.
       He chuckled feeling the shove back on the rather large and
       comfortable bed, his eyes fluttering a bit around the room.
       But his looking around did not take long as he heard her
       stripping already to be met with lacy black underwear and a lot
       of skin.
       The way she crawled to him and her hands on him made him blush
       as he worked off his own things, it was clear their difference
       in lifestyles but he didn’t care.
       She was hot- she wanted him- so he wanted her.
       ”damn what a body.” He murmured his hands sliding up her form.
       He tugged a bit at the front of the bra to bring her down for a
       kiss as he unsnapped the back with little difficulty. He got the
       view he hoped for.
       His hand groped a br.east a he gave a soft buck up against
       her.”better get you ready princess.” He purred at her. His body
       flipping them over.
       He slid down to her underwear and slid them off.
       He slowly slid his tongue against her sli.t in a teasing way
       before he would enter her heat- his fingers adding to the
       sensation.
       —-
       The man was much hotter out of that ratty clothes than she had
       expected, she could only imagine how good he would look if she
       got him the right clothes. She gladly kissed him as he worked
       off her bra, his callous hands playing with her br.easts and
       roaming her body before she felt the buck to groan.
       Moments later, Fefe was on her back, her thong discarded and his
       head between her legs feasting on her. Needy moans escaped her
       at the way that tounge moved inside of her, the addition of the
       fingers  had even more intense moans escaping her.
       "Oh fuck! Casimir! I need you inside me!" She demanded in a
       needy moan as her hips squirmed under the intense attention.
       -
       Casimir grinned as his fingers danced inside.”demanding hm… “ he
       teased as his fingers brushed against the pearl. “I’ll fill you
       and make you beg to c.um.” He growled softly. He positioned her
       in the missionary to pin her arms- slowly filling her.”that or
       make you want to ride me that desperately.” He teased as he
       slowly shifted his hips in a drawn out way. Teasing her.
       Seeing her face and hearing that voice, drove him crazy- but he
       kept himself under control.. after all the  beast part was
       egging things on to mark her. He knew better.
       Everything screamed in him that she belonged to him, and him
       alone.
       His pace picked up as he heard the begging his own eyes rolling
       back at her clenching. The man in the end pulling out to make
       her a nice right mess in the end.
       He took a breath as he laid to the side. His eyes flickered at
       her face and body. How much he wanted to just mark her. He
       chewed his inner cheek in through as he caught his breath.
       --
       Those growled words had Nefertiti's whole body on fire with need
       and want. A hot moan left her when he got her in the position he
       wanted to fill her up with that massive me.mber inside. The
       teasing pace just about had her trembling with need.
       She attempted to hold out but soon cracked, "Casimir, Please!
       Make me c um, stop holding back!" She begged to finally feel her
       wants met as he picked up the pace causing her to tighten around
       him as he near instantly brought her to a peak.
       Just as things were getting to their most intense for Nefertiti,
       Casimir pulled out to cover her in his see.d. The social light
       moved to press herself against her new lover pulling him into a
       fresh steamy kiss before her lips kissed their way down his body
       before taking the reawakening member into her mouth to bring him
       back to full attention.
       Once he was ready, Neffy straddled him to impale herself with a
       hot moan. Her hips doing the work this time as she moved on top
       of the man, her hips practically trying to milk him.
       -
       Casimir was shocked a little to feel more lips before watching
       her go down, “damn.” He commented before watching her impaling
       herself on him. The man feeling that egging on again to push the
       instinct down.
       He bucked into her a little hard to gasp.”little minx got some
       energy.” He praised.
       He watched as she danced on top of him. His hands sliding on her
       thighs as he bucked again. He aided her in getting more of a
       fill this way, as he let himself be mesmerized by her movements.
       —
       "I'll show you energy," Nefertiti playfully threatened. The pair
       would spend the next *several* hours enjoying eachother's body
       before passing out for the night.
       It wouldn't be until the next morning that Neffy would stir and
       groaned at the hangover she had. She made a quick call to room
       service before heading to the bathroom to get a proper shower
       in, all the while being careful not to wake her partner of the
       night.
       He felt different than all the other toys she had picked up to
       piss her mom off. She couldn't place it or why she felt this
       way, but, she had it in her mind, he belonged to her.
       -
       Casimir slowly woke up- he swore it had to have been one of
       those dreams he always gets when on lsd- but it clearly wasn’t
       when he woke up in that fancy room.. his eyes flickered around
       to not see her- but she clearly had jumped in the shower from
       the sound of running water.
       His body was littered with hickies not that he cared to move a
       little before hearing his burner phone go off-
       ```Take your time this morning- hope the hottie was worth it.
       -E ```
       The man chuckled a bit- being on cloud nine, he had forgotten
       about what happened yesterday as he shifted for the bathroom,
       his head sliding in the curtain.”so it definitely wasn’t a
       dream.” He teased a little to get her attention.
       —
       Hearing the footsteps had Nefertiti turning to look at the sexy
       bad boy she had shared a bed with the night before. A smirk
       crossing her lips as she pulled him into the shower and under
       the water with her.
       "I ordered us some breakfast and clothes to the room, figure we
       get cleaned up and go shopping after. Behave yourself and I
       might just take you home with me," she purred flirtatiously.
       The man in her arms seemed like the perfect combination.
       Dangerous, but protective and amazing in bed. She could see
       herself enjoying spoiling him for a good long while if not
       forever.
       -
       Casimir felt the pull in. He heard the idea of food and clothes
       to blush a bit at her words. To go to her home.. and be treated
       like a boyfriend? For a moment he had to take a moment.. he was
       use to being used for things- having to really work to have
       clothes on his back and being fed.
       “Then I best act good enough - and piss off mommy dearest?” He
       said with a smirk.”by being a good boyfriend?” He said with a
       chuckle.
       —
       "Mhmm you catch on quick," Nefertiti praised as she captured his
       lips with her own to make out with her new lover for several
       long moments before she pulled back just enough to grab the soap
       and get them both *really* clean.
       A scandalized look coming to her eyes when she saw the amount of
       dirt and blood had actually been on the man. "I don't know what
       your usual bathing schedule is, but you will be taking a daily
       shower," she informed the man.
       Once they were both to her standard of clean, Neffy dropped
       herself in a robe. "Hmmm stake naked, I like admiring hot sexy
       you are," she requested as her eyes looked him over before going
       to answer the door and got their food and clothes. She then laid
       them out on the bed judging them quite harshly in her own mind.
       "These will have to do, I can buy something more suitable when
       we go shopping." She murmured before getting dressed in the
       provided sundress and offering Casimir a pair of nice dark jeans
       and a proper button up shirt.
       She then settled in to eat breakfast, only making a small
       portion for herself and letting Casimir have at the offerings.
       Given the night before, she could tell the man lived a hard
       life.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Casimir made an embarrassed look.”honestly I didn’t really have
       a home.” He told her. “Been on the streets a mighty good long
       time- if we ended up with a roof over our heads usually just for
       a night.” He to her.
       Casimir blushed a bit more. He wasn’t use to being spoiled like
       this.. sure Eden gave up meals time to time for him but things
       were to this level.
       The food though was what got him. He began to eat enjoying it a
       little bit to say. “Thank you.” The pancakes made him smile at
       how sweet it tasted-he felt a mild urge to tear up.”so when are
       we going?” He asked looking at her a little.
       —
       "Well, that is unacceptable, You will just have to let me take
       care of you then.I can rent you out an apartment.... though that
       would take a few days at least plus furnishing. I could just
       have you stay here until I have have a suitable place ready....
       though, I could just move you in with me for now.... how
       attached are you to having your own space? I have an apartment I
       usually stay at in town. You could stay there with me. Be kind
       of sudden to be living together... but it is up to you." She
       said with a shrug.
       "When we finish eating we can head out." She added as she
       finished her food before going into the bathroom to tend to her
       hair and makeup.
       -
       Adan exited the high rise apartment and headed down the elevator
       to the parking lot where his sleek dark blue Aston Martin was
       parked. His grandmother had insisted he go on a "shopping" date
       with one of their business associates daughters. He hated how
       she was constantly setting him up on these type of blind dates
       when he could be dealing with other matters.
       He had no desire to be married or to start a family anytime
       soon. Apparently she did, cause this was the third date she'd
       set him up on in the past week.
       Adan sighed as he turned on some music before he headed off to
       pick up his date at the hotel her father owned. After waiting
       nearly half an hour in the foyer, the young woman finally
       emerged and introductions were made before he led her out to his
       car.
       "Do you mind if I sit in the back? It's just more comfortable
       for me,"
       Adan held back an exasperated sigh and moved to help her in the
       back.
       "I gather you plan on meeting someone other than me at our
       destination?" He asked, getting the feeling that the young woman
       had only agreed to fool her own father.
       "I hope you're not too disappointed, but yes. I can't really
       tell my father I have a girlfriend. He'd disinherit me," she
       replied pulling her sunglasses off to look Adan in the eyes.
       Adan felt rather relieved that he wasn't actually going in a
       date. "It's all right no need to apologize.  I do have a few
       things I need to buy. Text me when you're ready for me to drive
       you back home,"
       "Oh thank you Adan! You really are a true prince for helping me
       out like this. If your grandmother asks, I'll tell her you were
       a real gentleman, but that I just didn't click with you."
       Adan smiled slightly as he got buckled up. "I'd appreciate that
       Cassandra. I'll say something similar to your father."
       After a bit of a drive, the arrived at the high end mall and
       they headed in together. They parted ways, her going off with
       her secret girlfriend and Adan heading to Andre's to order a few
       suits for upcoming events.
       -
       Casimir felt surreal of a woman suggesting he live with her. “I
       don’t mind.. sharing..” he said as he didn’t like the idea of
       her renting a whole ass apartment for him on her dime- to him
       that was him being a burden.
       “Okay.“ he said as he watched her walk off. This felt like a
       real big dream.. and he didn’t want to wake up. He looked at the
       pancake he had left and lifted the burner phone. He re-read
       Eden’s message and got a small worried look. What would she do
       without him? They had watched each others backs for a long time…
       did he really deserve this life?
       He texted the one phrase the other promised would if they landed
       a better life…
       ***I died and gone to heaven.***
       He waited till he saw the words.
       ***forget me and live.***
       His hand shook a little as he placed it in his pocket- not
       wanting to break it yet- somehow- having at least something to
       check on Eden was still built in him.
       He finished up and got his clothes on. He checked himself out as
       his mind shifted to the new life he felt he was starting to live
       to smile.
       —
       It was shortly after Casimir had put his burner phone away that
       Nefertiti emerged with her makeup and hair fixed. She looked
       over her new boyfriend before dragging him into the bathroom to
       do something with his wild hair.
       "Hmmm checklist. Need to get you some new clothes, maybe some
       new piercings seeing as those look very old. And a hair cut. Not
       going to cut it all off but I doubt you have had a trim in a
       while. After we take care of that... hmmm you don't have a
       proper phone do you? I will have to remedy that, need to be able
       to text  and call you!" She rattled on excitedly. She loved
       shopping.
       "Oh!!! I could get a new phone too and we can match!" She added
       as she finished fixing his hair before dragging him out to the
       waiting town car.
       Soon, they were at the mall and fist order of buisness was a
       haircut before hauling him through just about every store and
       having him try on about half the items in each to decide what
       she liked best on him, taking his tastes into account as she
       went.
       Even after having a car full worth of clothes, Neffy was far
       from done, taking her lover to the hot topic and other jewelry
       places to replace his current ones.
       ---
       While Skoll had agreed to sharing Snow with Eden and the three
       being a throuple but he still felt off about it. He had kept his
       distance from Snow for the last few days trying to process why
       this didn't feel quite right.
       He had decided to occupy his mind with the mall while Snow and
       Eden were on an actual date. He liked that Snow and Eden got to
       go have a normal date but he couldn't help feeling left out
       either. So, the mall it was. He lingered in the food court until
       a man caught his eye heading into the suit department and
       couldn't help but admire him.
       He felt an odd compulsive need to follow after the man and when
       he was close enough to hear his voice, some visions hit him
       *hard* of living out in the desert, learning to speak and read
       *from* this man.
       "Adan..." was the word he muttered, covering his mouth quickly
       hoping the man hadn't heard him before the wolfkin was hurrying
       out of there hoping the man wouldn't think him a stalker.
       -
       Adan had that feeling of being watched as the tailor in Andre's
       went over several suit designs with him. He glanced up quickly,
       his ears catching his name being spoken and caught sight of a
       talk man lurking in the store.
       His eyes narrowed when the man rushed off and coolly told the
       tailor he'd take what the other had suggested before heading
       after what he believed to be a stalker or spy.
       Most didn't realize that his job as an  archaeologist was far
       more involved than just looking through ruins and logging what
       he found. There had been many times he'd had to deal with
       villainous men wanting to steal the precious and rare artifacts
       he uncovered. That however was a secret he kept to himself. His
       grandmother wouldn't be happy to know his job was so dangerous.
       Adan quickly caught up with the man by taking a secret shortcut
       and then grabbed the other by his shirt and shoved the man
       against the wall in a hidden corner.
       "How do you know my name? And why are you following me?" He
       demanded getting into the other's face.
       The man's face brought a sudden flash back of a recent dream and
       Adan's eyes widened at the familiar features.
       "You... you're real, you really exist," he exclaimed and his
       grip tightened a bit more. "you're.. Skoll, right?" He breathed
       out slowly half shaking in shock and excitement.
       For as long as Adan could remember, he'd had very vivid dreams
       of three very distinctive people. One was now currently being
       pushed against the wall..and felt real. Did that mean the other
       two existed as well? What the hell was happening?
       --
       Casimir was beginning to feel a bit like a project to her he
       heard her talk about a phone.  It felt.. so normal.
       The shopping trip was definitely new, everything felt so nice
       and clean. He started to enjoy himself again. The man looked so
       different, “thank you fefe..” he said softly. The only ache he
       did feel was guilt of leaving someone behind- and wasn’t sure
       how to feel about it.
       —
       "No problem sexy, but you don't need to thank me, but if you
       feel the need to, you can thank me in bed later," Fefe said with
       a wink before stealing a kiss. "Should get these skull
       piercings, they would look so cool, this this one if for your
       nose," she said pointing them out.
       "Oh! We should get you fitted for a suit!" She said getting
       *very* excited before she paid for what they had picked out in
       that store and dragged him to the suit tailor that Adan had just
       left.
       ---
       The sound of feet following after the wolfkin had died down,
       getting Skoll to let out a breath of relief before he felt his
       shirt suddenly grabbed. The gangster had never thought he would
       be pinned to a wall so aggressively by such a hot well dressed
       man but here he was.
       His ears pinned back at Adan's demands before the man got a
       weird look and suddenly knew his name after going on about the
       wolfkin being real. This was weird.
       "... yes? I'm Skoll... I... I could ask you the same thing about
       the... whole name stuff... I'm... pretty sure I'm real... are
       you having a bad trip or something?" He questioned, not
       resisting the man in the slightest, something felt right about
       being aggressively pinned like this by the man.
       -
       Casimir was feeling all sorts of feels. The idea of new
       piercings and more made him smile a bit. Course when he heard a
       suit got a flush as they were headed to a tailor.”hey easy with
       the pulling fefe.. please?”He asked before catching a glimpse of
       the big beastkin ravager being pinned by a fancy looking man in
       a suit.
       “Hey.. that guy might need help- ..” he started unsure if he was
       seeing sexual tension or a threat.
       —
       Adan's grip loosened a bit at Skoll's response and shook his
       head at the question about him being on drugs.
       "I don't do anything like that," he responded automatically.
       Images from his dreams began flickering through his mind. Some
       being quite erotic, others seemingly day to day interactions
       with the man in front of him. Only now he had the feeling these
       weren't dreams, but memories from a past life.
       A sudden surge of desire hit him and had Adan moving in to claim
       Skoll's mouth in a deep kiss. Adan's fingers curled tighter into
       the other's shirt as he moaned and melted against the other's
       taller lankier frame as the kiss grew even more heated and
       passionate by the moment.
       ----
       The response Adan gave to Skoll nearly had him rolling his eyes
       but he was being hit with similar visions as Adan was,
       *especially* when the man kissed him. Bits and pieces of the
       erotic things he used to let the man claiming his lips like this
       do to him.
       The beastkin couldn't help but let his arms wrap around that
       missing piece, holding the man close as they got more and more
       heated.
       At least until he suddenly heard a voice.
       ---
       "Oh don't be a baby," Nefertiti began to tease before she
       stopped to look in the direction to catch just in time to see
       Adan fully on aggressively kissing another man, her eyes went
       wide before she got a *massive* smirk on her lips.
       "Oh this is great, I know that guy," she mused before pulling
       Cas along with her, clearing her throat before saying in an
       *extremely* proper and chipper voice.
       "Adan? What *are* you doing?" She questioned with the biggest
       smirk like the cat who caught the canary.
       A growl left Skoll, "fu.ck off," he threatened darkly.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Adan melted even more against Skoll when the other's arms
       wrapped around him. He didn't hold back now, slipping his tongue
       into the other's mouth and groaning even louder in pleasure at
       the taste.
       His eyes snapped open at the voice speaking and pulled away to
       turn to stare at Nefe with a rather irritated look on his face
       at her interrupting them.
       "What does it look like? I'm kissing my boyfriend, you got a
       problem with that Nefe?" He asked turning and pulling Skoll's
       arms around his waist as he stared her down.
       His eyes turned to look at the rough looking man accompanying
       her and his lips curved into an amused grin. "Looks like you've
       got a new boyfriend yourself. If you want to surprise your
       mother, best keep what you saw to yourself," he warned.
       He gave a nod to both before drawing Skoll off in another
       direction, his hand firmly holding the other's.
       "No need to worry about Nefe, she won't say anything. How would
       you like to go on a date with me? I got set up on a blind date
       by my grandmother. Turned out my date already  had a girlfriend,
       so I've got hours to waste until I have to take her back home."
       He explained.
       After a few moments he realized that he'd forced himself on the
       guy and hadn't explained why. And now he'd sort of kidnapped
       Skoll.
       "So, I think those dreams I mentioned are actually memories from
       a past life. You and I were more than just lovers back then." He
       added feeling his face heat up a bit.
       ----
       Even with the daggers Skoll was glaring and the irritation on
       Adan's face, Nefertiti was entirely unfazed, grinning away. She
       had no intention of tatting on the man, she just enjoyed seeing
       him going against his grandmother so boldly.
       "Wonder if they would want a double date?" She mused before
       going back to her mission to get Casimir fitted for a suit.
       ---
       When Adan only showed irritation and not anger, Skoll was
       slightly confused, but it seemed the man knew her. Then it
       seemed some exchange he didn't understand happened. He was still
       very stuck on being so boldly claimed as the man's boyfriend
       before being pulled away by said boyfriend.
       Then, Adan was reassuring him and asking if he wanted to join
       him on a date right then. The wolfkin was blushing like made at
       how open the man was with his bold affection.
       "I... um yeah sure, what... do you do on dates?" He found
       himself agreeing. His mind going to his lover, hoping the man
       wouldn't be mad.
       "I um... do have a... kind of boyfriend and... sort of
       girlfriend already... they um... know about each other but...
       um... if I'm... going to be your boyfriend you need to meet
       them..." He explained .
       "You.... you are saying we were mates? Like... I marked you
       level mates?" He questioned, feeling like he already knew the
       answer to that.
       -__-
       Casimir gone speechless at what he had seen till he heard fefe.
       He looked at skoll to chuckle.”sorry man- I thought you were
       getting roughed up- you helped E and well - seems I don’t have
       to return the favor—yet.” He said to flush a bit.”but this
       definitely explains a lot- hope she ain’t that bummed.” He said
       to laugh and wrap his arm around fefe’s shoulders.
       “Double date huh? I don’t mind- I’m always looking to make
       friends.” Said Casimir- the fact he felt a bit more free meant
       he could try to connect with others. He noticed someone
       scrambling around to see him and made eye contact.
       He realized it was one of his own and the guys jaw dropped at
       the sight of the clean up Casimir. He made a face at the gang
       member that was recognized as imma beat you.. to leave quickly.
       He made a small worried look hoping that he wouldn’t get
       reported- course if it did happen that guy was more than dead
       meat.
       —
       Adan couldn't help but smile at how adorable Skoll looked when
       he blushed. It was a bit surprising that Skoll had no clue about
       dates.
       "Whatever we want to do, we can just hang out and talk if that's
       more of your pace," he replied, not wanting to overwhelm Skoll.
       He blinked a bit surprised to hear Skoll say he had a boyfriend
       and girlfriend already. The image of a tall white haired man and
       a petite red head filled his mind.
       "Skoll, I have the feeling they are the other two that I've
       remembered in my dreams. The guy is as tall as you are with
       white hair, and the girl, she's short with red hair. I really
       would like to meet them again. I feel like I've been waiting my
       entire life for you and them." He added, a look of wonder in his
       expression.
       Adan scratched his jaw trying to recall more to answer Skoll's
       questions.
       "Yeah, I think all four of us were. You'd marked us with bite
       marks, and we all had a tattoo we got to represent our bound to
       one another as well," he said thoughtfully.
       "How about we start with a drink? There's a great coffee shop
       not too far." He suggested and gently reached out to take
       Skoll's hand.
       ----
       Hearing Adan *describe* his lover and girlfriend had Skoll in
       shock. Normally he would think the man was stalking him but
       given he was having similar visions. He had marked three mates,
       and if his own flashes of memory served, Adan had been gifted
       with visions.
       "Do you... still have visions? Think I might need something
       stronger than coffee, but yeah, we can do coffee... wouldn't be
       against making out again but... need to talk with... Snow and
       Eden before we can do... other... couple things..." He said
       blushing quite dark.
       It felt good to have Adan so openly holding his hand. It felt so
       *normal*. Like he had listened to the man talk while pulling him
       along a thousand times.
       Soon, Skoll found himself seating in a nice coffee shop getting
       odd looks form passer bys that he would give glares to. He was
       proving Adan with questioned, mostly because he enjoyed
       listening to the man talk.
       ---
       "Who would be bummed?" Questioned Nefertiti as she began to
       browse the suits while they waited for the attendant to be
       available. When they approached, Fefe gave a whole laundry list
       of instructions for the tailor before leaving Casimir to be
       measured while she looked through the suits she wanted him to
       try on.
       When she finally got him in a suit that was being pinned to be
       fitted that day she was looking him over with hungry eyes. "I
       like this suit on you a *lot*," she purred.
       -
       “A friend. The guy your friend was kissing? I saw jumped in that
       fight at the bar for her. Didn’t realize he was gay.”he said as
       he walked with her.
       They got in as he felt like a monkey trying on all the suits.
       Once he had one fitted right did he see those eyes to blush a
       bit.
       ”you sure you like it on?” He teased at her his toothy grin
       flashing. “Gods knows I’d like to see you like I did last
       night…on top.” He said making the tailor of all people blush as
       he spoke to Fefe.
       —
       Adan could see what he'd said shocked Skill so he got knew the
       faces he'd seen were the other two.
       "Actually I do, usually though it takes awhile to figure out
       what they mean. They're not as cute and dry or obvious like the
       ones I've had about you and the others," he explained.
       He chuckled a bit hearing Skoll saying he might need something
       stronger. "We could go to a bar later if you need. I agree,
       talking and meeting them should happen soon. I'm in no rush
       Skoll. I'd really just like to get to know you better first." He
       said with a reassuring smile. "Honestly I was never able to go
       further than touching with other people. It felt wrong, so I'm
       still a virgin," he explained.
       He couldn't get over the familiar feel of Skoll's hand in his
       own and didn't let go until they'd gotten to the coffee shop to
       order. He paid using one of his cards and then led Skoll over to
       a rather public table. It wasn't like he was the type to hide so
       the thought to get a table in a corner never even occured to
       him.
       "I'm actually an archaeologist, explorer and adventurer. Kind of
       like Indiana Jones, but cuter," he said with a chuckle when
       Skoll asked what he did for work. "I'm also a translator and
       linguist as well. I'm one of those super brainy nerds. What
       about you? What do you do?"
       --
       Even with the commonality of them both never going all the way
       with anyone, Skoll felt like Adan was so far out of his league
       it was almost funny. His eyes widened, clearly impressed with
       what he was hearing after asking the man what he did for a
       living.
       "Well... feel like even if I lie to you... you are going to find
       out anyways... I'm... a part of a biker gang called the
       Ravagers... Snow is... actually kind of the leader now... its...
       some dangerous stuff so... it is best to keep meeting with him
       and Red under wraps... but... I'm excited to finally feel like
       all my missing pieces are together." He said, hoping to not get
       too bad of a reaction out of Adan.
       ---
       "Ooohhhh I see I see," Nefertiti had mused when Casimir
       explained. His words in response to her flirting had her eyes
       wide and a blush of her own. "Casimir! You naughty boy. I should
       wash your mouth out with soap," she said, unsure if she meant
       what she said.
       "My darling, you save that kind of talk when we aren't in
       professional company," she lightly chastised. Soon, the tailor
       was done and the man explained it would take a few hours.
       "Why don't we grab some lunch while we wait? What are you in the
       mood for? Or we could get your hair cut, up to you," she mused,
       hanging on her boyfriend.
       -
       Casimir chuckled a bit.”good luck with washing mine with soap.”
       He said with a smirk. Course the chastisement just made him want
       to dirty talk that much more- since her face read differently.
       “I wouldn’t mind food- I am getting hungry with all this running
       around.” Said Casimir.
       -+++
       Adan raised an eyebrow as Skoll explained both he and Snow were
       part of a biker gang. He wasn't in the least bit scared of from
       meeting the other two, despite Skoll saying there were dangerous
       things going on.
       "I'll keep it quiet," he replied and reached over to squeeze
       Skoll's hand gently. "Honestly, I've been shot at before.
       Kidnapped, ransomed and been in some pretty dangerous situations
       in my life. I wasn't really joking when I said my life was like
       Indiana Jones. there are lots of desperate greedy people that
       will get into grave robbery. They're probably just as dangerous
       as biker gangs, if not more so." Adan admitted.
       "You don't have to worry about me being scared of your job
       Skoll. I'm not going anywhere. I want to be with you, and
       eventually the others too. I'm fine with taking things slow." He
       reassured him gently.
       Adan finished off his coffee and then slowly stood and offered
       his hand to Skoll. "How about we just walk around until you find
       a store you want to go in?"
       --
       Hearing the danger that Adan was used to had a worried crease
       for on Skoll's forhead, though it was good to know that the man
       wasn't so easily scared off. It brought a smile to his lips
       while the squeeze to his hand made him blush as he finished off
       his own coffee.
       "At this rate I'll be 60 before I finally get one of you in
       bed..." Skoll grumbled to himself.
       "A store I want to go in? I'm kind of broke, I just hang out
       around at the mall on occation..." He tried to explain, the idea
       of Adan wanting to spend money on him a very foreign concept.
       ---
       At Casimir's response to her comment about washing his mouth
       out, Nefertiti rolled her eyes. "Food it is then, what you
       feeling? Chinese? Chicken? Burgers?" She questioned as she
       pulled him along to the food court.
       ---
       It was finally the weekend. After a long week of little
       gremlins, he needed a break. Not to get it twisted, the harpy
       loved his job with his whole heart and usually the kids wernt so
       bad but given some upsets in the schedule for upcoming holidays,
       he found himself *ready* for winter break.
       The man walked into a random bar, sat himself down on a stool
       and order a whiskey for himself to start sipping.

       Casimir smiled softly.”Chinese sounds good.” He said as he got
       use to the pulling. It seemed that was his life now and he
       accepted it as he took in the sights. He brushed his hair out of
       his face a bit as they entered a place, the food hitting his
       nose.”smells good…” he murmured as he looked for a table.
       Once seated he ordered a soda and realized it was a buffet. The
       man went and got his plate to sit down and began to eat some. It
       felt like his life changed overnight.. like a movie he saw once
       of a stripper being picked up off the street to being some
       classy lady.
       His eyes went over fefe wondering just how long this would
       really last… it was good.. too good.. would she get bored of
       him?… would he end up having to go back?… his eating slowed as
       his face clearly read he was in thought.
       ——-
       Vash was on his day off, he was already drinking when he saw the
       man coming in. His eyes flickered over the harpy man. He
       couldn’t help it.. something about the guy was homey. He
       honestly felt he could hold a genuine conversation.
       Much as crash was an intellect- he wanted someone more relatable
       outside of gang activities.
       He flipped the book he was reading shut. He wore slacks and a
       nice button up shirt, no one would think looking at him he’d be
       dangerous. His eyes traveled to lance.”so.. you looked stressed-
       want me to buy the next drink?” He questioned with a smile.
       ---
       "You got it sexy," the socialite mused as they went into the
       chinese play. "It does smell good in here," Nefertiti agreed
       when Cas commented on the smell of the place. The pair soon
       seated and drinks ordered. Neffy getting up to fix her plate
       soon after Casimir. She was slowly eating her food when she
       noticed her boyfriend slowing down clearly deep in thought.
       "Everything okay?" She questioned with a worried look in her
       eyes. "Am I being to much?" She asked, suddenly worried she was
       overwhelming the man with so much change. "We don't *have* to
       get your hair cut today if that is too much for one day," she
       added, now trying to guess what the man was thinking.
       ---
       At first, the Harpy didn't notice the man reading at the other
       end of the bar until he heard the book snap closed and the man's
       voice pointing out he looked stressed before offering to buy the
       next drink.
       "Oh um, yeah you are welcome to buy me a drink, I'll be okay, I
       am a pre k teacher, I'll hopefully survive until winter break.
       Only got another two weeks and then I have three weeks off. Then
       it's the grind to summer," he admitted with a chuckle.
       "Love the munchkins but sometime," he finished his sentence with
       an exasperated sigh.
       --
       Adan noted the look of worry on Skoll's face and reached out to
       smooth away the crease. "You really don't need to worry. I know
       how to fight and can take care of myself," he assured the biker.
       He chuckled a bit at Skoll's grumble of waiting until he was
       sixty. "It's not going to be that long. Trust me."
       Adan shook his head at Skoll saying he was broke and only hung
       out at the mall occasionally.
       "Let me buy you something. I did kind of rip your shirt," he
       said noticing the collar of the shirt had a rip on it that
       hadn't been there before. "Then we can go get some real food,
       whatever you want and we can go loiter at the Barns and Noble
       and read for free. They have a lot of great comics," he added
       hoping it would entice Skoll into agreeing.
       --
       “It’s just so much. I lived my life in the streets forever- I
       just am .. worried that this is a one time thing..” he said
       quietly and honestly. He ate a bit more and put down his
       chopsticks. “Guess I’m just wonderin’ if I’m allowed to live
       this good life.. and be with a good woman like you.” He said. It
       felt strange being open with someone that wasn’t Eden.  But
       somehow… it just felt right to him.
       ——
       Vash chuckled as he put some money down for the man. “That
       sounds way intense- brave man like you taking on the littles
       like that.. the bitey ones tend to be the hardest.” He said.
       “And I get it- in my profession sometimes I get smacked but what
       can you do but try to correct them the right way of being a
       proper person?” He said as he smiled.
       “Names Vash- what’s yours ?” He questioned as he eyed the man,
       he definitely was his type and if he retired could see a
       comfortable life laying in that man’s lap.
       “Any hobbies that take the stress off? I like reading - it helps
       at times I think.” Said the hidden hitman as he tapped for
       another glass of his own to get more whisky on the rocks.
       —
       The words Casimir spoke brought a deeper look of concern to
       Nefertiti's eyes. She wanted to feel hurt over such words but
       instead, she just sighed. She couldn't just dismiss his doubts
       so easily and she knew that. The man had lived a very hard life.
       Fefe reached forward and took his hands into hers.
       "Casimir, I can't promise we will be together forever or even
       six months from now, but I do like you a *lot*. I, can see
       myself spending the rest of my life with you. Long as you don't
       cheat on me or lie to me or try to hurt me... I don't see a
       reason I wouldn't want to be with you. We only just met
       yesterday so it will take time to get used to the changes but
       soon you won't remember what it was like to go without." She
       tried to reassure.
       "You are definitely allowed to live a good life with a good
       woman. You deserve the world Cas." She added with a sweet smile.
       ---
       "Well, thankfully this year I don't have any bitters. But you
       are right we can only guide them to be better people." The harpy
       said in agreement.
       "My name is Lance, I knit when I have the time, but reading is
       always a good go to. What kind of work do you do? Are you also
       in education?" He questioned.
       ---
       The reassurances Adan gave Skoll had the man relaxing a little,
       his cheeks flushing at his new boyfriend's insistence at being
       allowed to buy something for Skoll then a promise of lunch
       after. Was really got him was the idea of reading at the book
       store.
       A flash of laying his head in Adan's lap as the man read to him
       by candle light. The beastkin shook his head to come back to
       reality. "All... Allright... this... is going to sound... so
       stupid.... you know what... never mind... yeah let's uh... go
       get me a shirt I guess. I don't want you to just waste a bunch
       of money on me... I don't want to take advantage of your
       kindness..." He told Adan, cutting himself off from asking the
       guy if he would read to him in the book store but felt like a
       child to ask such things on top of feeling all kinds of
       unworthy.
       -
       Adan waited patiently for Skoll to make a decision, wondering if
       maybe he'd offered too much at once. He had never really wanted
       for anything in his life but unlike other high society types, he
       was far more empathetic to those that didn't have much. Probably
       due to seeing how much suffering others went to through during
       his travels.
       For a moment as Skoll blustered his way through speaking, Adan
       had the oddest feeling of deja vu. As if he'd seen Skoll this
       awkward and adorable in the past.
       "It's not a waste if I want to treat you to something you need
       Skoll," he said with a smile. "I promise I won't spoil you
       needlessly. And I know you're not the type to take advantage of
       me. At least I get the feeling you won't," he added with a
       bright grin.
       He reached again to take Skoll's hand and pulled the taller man
       after him towards a clothing store nearby.
       "So t-shirt or button up?" He asked as he started looking
       through a rack once inside. "What color would you like? Maybe a
       dark red? Or black?"
       --
       Casimir felt his hands taken. His eyes went up to hers as he
       felt drawn in. He felt as if.. she had an exotic look in her
       eyes. Something that just felt that look was just for him. He
       looked at her before one of his hands would go over and touch
       the side of her face.
       ”loyalty you’ll never have to worry about- once I stick with
       someone I always do.” He said softly. “There’s .. things that I
       still might go through though- but I’ll try to be better..” he
       said as his thumb ran gently on her bottom lip. He leaned in to
       give a gentle kiss before he’d settle back to eat.
       ——
       Vash listened to the man speak as he leaned a little on his
       hand. A smile graced his lips at the idea of a man that was
       crafty.  Of course when his question of work predictably came
       up- did he settle and say,”nowadays? I take out the trash. Lot
       calmer than being a corrections officer.” He lied. Previously he
       was an enforcer before he found it easier being a hitman. It
       meant he didn’t have to hold back.
       “What’s your latest knitting project?” He asked as he diverted
       from the work conversation.
       —
       When Casimir reached out to caress her cheek, Nefertiti leaned
       in to the affection, gazing into his eyes as he promised her
       loyalty and to attempt to be better before giving her a sweet
       kiss and settled back in his seat to eat.
       She smiled, glad she could reassure him a little. "Just, don't
       try and hide anything from me," she said before going back to
       eating her own food, "so, do you want to wait on the hair?
       Because we *have* to get it done before next weekend, Zoe is
       having her birthday ball and you just have to cone with me, that
       is what the suit is for," she explained.
       ---
       "Oh? Interesting," Lance had started, about to ask a million
       questions about the guys line of work, but the sudden subject
       focus of his knitting project had gim grinning ear to ear.
       "Well, I'm currently working on my end of the school year
       project. I find out each child's favorite things and knit them a
       mini version of it for them. They get a kick out of it." He
       explained, pulling his phone out to show Vash pictures of all
       his little projects, talking a good two hours about it by the
       time he finished, having gone through four drinks as well, he
       was mildly tipsy.
       ---
       Hearing Adan insist it wasn't a waste to treat him along with
       the promise to not needlessly spoil him had Skoll looking away a
       bit shyly before he felt his hand taken to be dragged away to
       the nearest clothing store. Seeing that bright smile had stopped
       any resistance in it's tracks as he obediently went with his new
       boyfriend.
       "Oh um... a t-shirt probably... don't think I've ever worm a
       button up... dark red or black is fine," he agreed, not exactly
       browsing himself as he watched Adan.
       Corse, given he looked like he was loitering over shopping, it
       was only about five minutes after he had gotten there that an
       attendant walked up as Adan slowly drifted away in his search,
       to Skoll.
       "Sir, you can't be in here if you aren't going to buy anything,"
       the sassy clerk told him with a hard look that told him he
       clearly wasn't welcome.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Adan nodded at Skoll as he went through the rack looking for the
       right shirt. There were some with weird designs that he figured
       Skoll wouldn't care for. He had pulled a few out for Skoll to
       look over and try on when he heard the sales girl get rather
       snippy.
       It rather pissed him off how she was being so rude to Skoll
       based on how he was dressed. He headed over and dumped the
       shirts he'd collected on the counter near the girl.
       "Come on Skoll, I've changed my mind about shopping here. I
       don't really care for the attitude or atmosphere," he said
       giving the girl a glare before reaching to take Skoll's hand.
       "Someone should learn better manners," he added before pulling
       Skoll out of the store.
       "Sorry, but people like that annoy the hell out of me," he told
       Skoll.
       He found another store a short ways away and proceeded to buy
       Skoll two shirts and a whole new outfit for him, which he
       changed into before they left.
       Now Adan was wearing more street like clothes and matched Skoll
       a bit better. "I was getting tired of that stuffy suit," he
       admitted and took Skoll's hand again. "So what do you feel like
       eating?" He asked. "I say we go to the food court and pick
       whatever looks good," he said with a wide grin.
       ----
       Casimir smiled a bit.”I won’t- “ he said as he began to finish
       his food.”I don’t mind getting it done today. And a birthday
       ball? You mean a party?” He asked as he ate more. He made a
       small inquisitive look at being told he’d be in that suit. “Is
       it really that fancy?” He asked.”probably better to ask why it’s
       important..” he said as he clearly just was curious.
       ——
       Vash watched as the man shifted from almost asking about him to
       talking about a project. He took a look to grab the phone to get
       a closer look.”ooo! They look pretty detailed- no wonder the
       kids love them.” He said as he gave it back. He enjoyed the
       man’s talking for the few hours. It certainly was different from
       dealing with the screaming targets.  He noticed the man was
       getting tipsy.”doing alright? I could give a ride home- one
       would never let someone drive drunk.”he said in his serious
       responsible tone- the man only touching two to the man’s four.
       —
       "No, I mean ball, it's high society attire, nearly black tie
       honestly. It's important because Zoe is my friend you silly
       goose, she likes to go all out for her birthday. I can't really
       blame when I do the same thing," she said with a laugh.
       Once the two finished their meal, Nefertiti paid for it and led
       Casimir to a salon in the mall to get his hair into a nice
       haircut. "So, look through the catalog and we can decide what
       kind of hair style you want." She told her boyfriend.
       ---
       "Hmmmm yeah probably best you take me home," Lance agreed before
       waving the bartender over to pay his tab. "I don't want to be a
       burden, I could just call a cab," he found himself suggesting.
       ---
       A fresh blush crossed Skoll's cheeks when Adan so sassily put
       the attendant in her place before dragging him off to the next
       store. "You don't need to apologize, " he had insisted before
       they were in thr next store. Soon Adan had bought not only some
       shirts for Skoll but a new outfit for himself.
       A chuckle left him at the man's comment about the suit. "Mean,
       you looked amazing in the suit, but I can imagine it being
       stuffy."He commented, blushing again as his had was taken.
       "I have been craving some BBQ. I think they have some tia BBQ in
       the food court. After we eat are you still wanting to hit up the
       book store?" He asked.
       -
       "well you don't deserve to be treated like that. No one does. I
       may be from a well off family, but I will never treat anyone
       like that. Maybe I was just raised better,"
       Adan grinned feeling quite pleased when Skoll complimented him
       on his suit. "They can sometimes get stuffy." He agreed. "Would
       you ever consider wearing one yourself? Say if I asked you to go
       to an event that required one?" He asked curiously and tried to
       imagine the tattooed biker in a suit. The image in his mind had
       his smile get a bit bigger.
       "Barbecue sounds good to me. If you want to we can, unless
       there's something you'd like to do more," Adan replied, not
       wanting to force Skoll in doing something he wasn't interested
       in.
       -
       Casimir simply made a small face as he wasn’t use to all that
       big stuff. “Your good- just usually when we got birthdays it’s
       ‘congrats’ your alive still and some alcohol… and other stuff..”
       he said offhandedly to not really touch on the fact all they did
       was get drunk and high depending.
       Once they finished did the pulling around begin again, as he was
       brought to the hair salon. He picked one with an undercut- to
       tame his hair a bit.
       He shifted after a little to check it out. He felt like he was
       apart of normal society now- least it looked it.
       “Like it?” He would hear.
       “You know it.” He would respond.
       —-
       Vash paid for his own tab and lance’s to chuckle.”oh I don’t
       mind- plus it’s cheaper with how things are ran nowadays-“ he
       said.
       He helped lance to his own car that sat - a Chevrolet Corvette
       to place him inside- “alright cutie- your address?” He asked as
       he fiddled with his keys to get it in the ignition.
       —
       Hearing Casimir admit to never being celebrated before had
       brought a sadness to Nefertiti as she mentally decided she was
       going to figure out when his birthday was and throw him a big
       party. She wasn't pulled out of her mental planning until Cas
       was done with his hair cut and gave the man an appreciative once
       over grinning wide.
       "You clean up real nice," she praised, quite pleased with the
       results as she paid the stylist before she looped her arm in his
       and led him off to the apple store in the mall.
       "So, I'm going to guess you haven't had a nice phone of your
       own, I want to get you an apple watch too, they coke in handy
       all the time." She chattered as she finally stopped pulling on
       him but didn't let go of her sexy boyfriend.
       ---
       The harpy gave no resistance to being led off to Vash's waiting
       car and gave an appreciative whistle. "That's a sexy ass car for
       a sexy ass man..." He  praised as he was loaded up. His wings
       having to be stuffed inside the small car.
       At his new companions question, he rattled off an adress
       alright, the one to the school. The man being a bit too
       intoxicated to not bet things mixed up. When they pulled up to
       the school he looked confused before cracking up at his mistake
       and gave the adress to his apartment this time.
       Once they arrived, the Harpy stumbled out of the car and was
       struggling to stay upright. "Mmmm want to help me inside.
       ---
       The beastkin's ears swiveled as he thought about Adan's question
       of if he would wear a suit. "Well, normally I would say fu.ck no
       you aren't getting me into a monkey suit... but... I... would
       consider wearing one for you..." He admitted with a darkening
       blush.
       "I'm good with the bookstore... have... memories of you reading
       to me... do... you think... we could... do that?" He asked,
       clearly see selfconscious  about asking.
       -
       Casimir heard fefe speak about how good he looked to give a
       grin. He cocked his head to the side of a phone.”not really use
       to burners..” he admitted as they walked. The idea of being
       showered with so much stuff was still a lot but- not entire
       unwelcome. But once the pulling stopped and she held his hand..
       felt very much like a date.
       He smiled warmly as he walked with her and took in a city from a
       different angle.. not that of the slums- but of someone that was
       in a functioning part of society- little did he know of the fact
       of how short lived he would feel this way.
       ———
       Vash gave his lopsided grin to get him inside. He was careful of
       the man’s wings before he would drive  him. Soon as he saw the
       school he chuckled himself- now he knew where the guy worked.
       From that point to the place where the harpy lived wasn’t very
       far- he could see why a drunk man could mix it up.
       He went to unbuckle to get the man some help to hear his
       question.”I already planned to- can’t seem to walk straight can
       you?” He said good-naturedly as he got the man’s arm around his
       shoulders.”here we go!” He said with a slight blush of contact.
       Once they got to the door would he take over for the keys. The
       man clearly having issues making the hole to insert to unlock it
       and walked him in to shut the door.
       —
       Adan wasn't bothered in the least bit by Skoll's colorful
       language and gave the biker a pleased grin. "Well I might be
       asking you one of these days, so keep it in mind. I'll let you
       dress me in whatever you'd like in return," he added.
       Adan looked Skoll over closely trying to imagine how sexy the
       beastkin would look in a suit.
       At Skoll's question and mention of being read to in the past, a
       memory of them curled up on a couch as he read to his lover go
       through his mind. Other memories of teaching the man to speak
       and learn to read and write flicked through his mind rather
       quickly, making him stop mid step and clutch his head.
       "I-i remember that too. I think I taught you how to read and
       write back then," he murmured softly. "Yeah we can do that,"
       Adan agreed then moved to lean against Skoll a bit.
       "Everytime I get hit by too many memories at once it can get
       overwhelming," he explained. "Food will help though."
       -
       The pair spent the next hour going over which cellphone Casimir
       wanted before getting him a smart watch to match before getting
       her own verson in a different color. She then brought him to an
       phone accessory shop to personalize their devices.
       By the time Fefe had worn herself out on shopping, it was the
       late afternoon. "You ready to head home?" She questioned with a
       yawn. She had loaded Casimir up with all of the shopping bags as
       she led him out to the waiting car.
       ---
       The harpy nearly put all his weight on the man helping him and
       stumbled along. Once the door was closed behind them, the drunk
       Lance pushed Vash up against the wall next to the entrance and
       kissed the man. "Than you for your help, I enjoyed your company
       tonight..." He murmured in slightly slurred words.
       ---
       "Deal," Skoll had said with a widening grin. The grin vanishing
       when Adan was clearly having side effects from remembering. It
       had Skoll putting his arm around the man and held him close as
       they walked.
       "Why don't we grab something to eat.... then we can go to the
       bookstore and relax?" He found himself suggesting as he pulled
       the man towards the BBQ place he had suggested.
       Soon they were seated in a booth, Skill making Adan sit next to
       him so he could snuggle the man. It was his only comfort when he
       worried about Adan. Memories of similar feeling came to him but
       just focused on his boyfriend.
       "Would you mind if I snapped a photo of you? I... kind of want
       to show you off to Snow and Red..." He questioned with a shy
       look.
       -
       Casimir for once felt ragged from the experience- the only time
       he felt this way was the one job that Eden had fudged that left
       them fighting for a couple of hours. “Yeah.. feeling a bit
       sleepy.” He admitted. He helped with the bags of things so that
       fefe wasn’t carrying everything and got in the car with her his
       arm encircling fefe as it felt natural to do so.
       He kissed the side of her head.”thank you for today- it was a
       lot of fun.” He said with a smile.
       ——
       Vash felt the hot kiss to smirk a bit after.”I enjoyed yours as
       well drunky.” He teased as he got the man inside his apartment.
       “where’s the bedroom?” He asked with a lopsided grin. He felt
       for the guy getting hammered- he didn’t feel right just leaving
       him alone and figured he’d stay.”I can put you to bed and spend
       the night in case you need someone..” he murmured softly.
       Part of him wanted to take advantage of the situation- but the
       other part of him- with his morality in question didn’t want to
       mess up a potential relationship he felt he’d have with the
       harpy. But damn even the drunk kiss the man showed he was quite
       the kisser.
       “Can at least get you out of the uncomfortable stuff so you can
       sleep.” He said with a smile.

       Adan nodded and smiled up at Skoll, rather liking it when Skoll
       wrapped an arm around him and then led him off.
       "Sounds like a great idea,"
       Adan was more than happy to get close to Skoll and slide his
       hand into the other's and leaned up against him.
       "You want a picture of me?" He asked a bit surprised at the
       question. He was normally pretty cautious about having his
       picture taken. He'd been keeping an eye out all day for
       potential paparazzo popping up. "Sure, but only if we take a few
       together. I want a few for myself too. Do you have any of them?"
       He asked curiously as he pulled his own phone out and glanced up
       at Skoll curiously.
       Even sitting down the beast kin towered over him.
       --
       "Well, once we get home, you can take a shower while I get
       everything put away. Need to get all the loose hair off you so
       you won't be itchy later. Then we can take a catnap before we go
       out for dinner. Unless you want to order in?" Nefertiti began to
       rattle off before they were settled in the car. She grinned
       quite wide when Casimir was so affectionate towards her and
       thanked her.
       "You are such a sweety, if you aren't careful I might fall in
       love with you," Fefe purred, giving the man a proper deep kiss.
       "If you aren't too tired we could fool around in bed before our
       nap," she suggested seductively with a smirk when the kiss
       broke.
       ---
       That lopsided grin nearly made Lance's heart stop as a blush
       raced across his cheeks. "Sounds good to me... bedroom is this
       way," the harpy murmured, kissing his new companion again before
       drawing him away to his bedroom. The room was nice and spacious
       with few things to be knocked over by the Harpy's wings, that
       flapped about in an attempt to keep him upright when he had let
       go of Vash and started to try and get his clothes off, only to
       fall on the oversized bed that was just a modern day nest for
       the birdman.
       "Think.... I might need that help you were offering...." He
       grumbled drunkenly.
       ---
       "Was kind of planning on it being pictures of the two of us....
       yeah, I actually do have a few of them." He answered, pulling
       out his most recent burner phone and flipped to the rather low
       quality pictures of him and Snow at a biking festival they had
       gone to a few months ago, and some rather Saucy pictures of him
       and Eden, the woman pressed against him enough to hide her tits
       from being seen fully but clearly both were topless.
       "This one is Snow, that was Bike off a few months back, it was a
       lot of fun. This is Red, she is a *firecracker* let me tell
       you.... that is here from... this morning actually..." He said
       blushing.
       The beastkin then pulled Adan close once he got his camera on
       his phone pulled up and made a wide smirking grin.
       He quickly snapped the photo once Adan seemed ready, taking a
       few to pick from. He then let Adan take his own pictures of him
       and the man that was way too good for him. Once done, Skoll went
       to text the best oneo of the bunch to Snow and Red with the
       words,
       `I found him!` and no other context. Skoll then picked up his
       menu once his phone was put away.
       "What are you thinking? I'm kind of digging the pulled pork," he
       questioned. "Not as gamey as the wild ones.... think I used to
       enjoy... hunting... like... a *lot*," he said with a chuckle at
       the memories slowly seeping in, making them feel distant but
       also like they just happened.
       -
       Casimir made a soft smile at what she said as they settled. The
       next words of hers caused a soft blush before feeling the press
       of her soft lips against his.. then the slip of the tongue that
       wormed around his. He took a breath and pressed his forehead
       against hers.”we could do before and after the nap..” he flirted
       back. “And honestly- I believe you hooked me fefe..” he murmured
       sweetly.
       He felt an inkling of deja vu.. something he couldn’t explain.
       He brought her close in his arms as best as the belts would
       allow.”I’ll never let you go.” He said softly.
       ———
       Vash felt the pillowy lips of the harpy, sink into his as he
       felt the drunken pull. His arm going around  lance.”careful..”
       he said with a soft look.
       Once he let go though at his room, saw the sight of the harpy
       trying to keep upright, he chuckled softly as he heard the man
       accepting his help.”alrighty now.” He said as he sat lance up to
       pull the shirt off. His eyes was blessed with a sight of
       muscles.”work out?” He asked with another grin as he went for
       the pants that were half off. He pulled them off as well.”want
       some pajamas or you the type to sleep as is?” He teased.
       —
       "Good," Adan replied, his eyes shining a bit brighter when Skoll
       said he had pictures of the other two.
       His breath caught in his lungs the moment he saw Snow. His
       heartbeat raced in his chest and he leaned in closer to get a
       better look at the man. The red haired woman made his mouth go
       dry and a strange thrill go through his entire body. There was
       no mistaking that they were the ones he'd seen in his memories
       and dreams.
       "I can't wait to meet both of them," Adan murmured, smiling a
       bit at how Skoll described Red. "She definitely looks like it,"
       he agreed. "Probably a bit reckless as well..."
       Adan flushed a bit at being pulled so close for the pictures. It
       took a few minutes for him to relax and calm down his racing
       heartbeat. After a few "tame" pictures for Skoll, he leaned in
       to nip the other's jaw for one and then turned the others face
       to kiss him in the next.
       Then it was his turn to get several pictures of his own. A few
       with Skoll's blushing face, and another half a dozen with them
       being affectionate.
       "Texting them already?" Adan asked, a thrill of excitement and
       nervousness shooting through him.
       He glanced over the menu, smiling at Skoll's banter. "I recall
       you getting lost on several of those hunting trips," he teased.
       Their waiter came over, prompting Adan to order a variety of
       sides from memory as well as pulled pork for Skoll and barbecued
       beef ends for himself.
       "You want anything to drink Skoll?" He asked after ordering a
       sweet tea for himself.
       --
       The way Casimir held her while claiming he was hooked and never
       letting her go had Nefertiti blushing, smiling *very* wide.
       "Before and after sounds great," he agreed, snuggling as close
       as she could.
       Thankfully the ride to her penthouse apartment wasn't far and
       she was dragging him into the place. The outside looked like a
       fancy highrise building, the inside looking fit for royalty,
       *especially* when they got to Fefe's apartment.
       A open sprawling space with luxury everywhere you looked. The
       only seemingly out of place items were thinks once might expect
       to see of a heavy metal fan or someone who might present as goth
       mixed in.
       She didn't give much of a tour as she dragged Cas to the
       bathroom before going to her bedroom to unpack all the things
       she had bought to add to her walk in closet and even made a
       space for Cas's things, even clearing out a drawer for him.
       ---
       "Mmm yeah, I go to the gym daily," murmured Lance drunkenly as
       he was helped out of his clothes. Soon he was left in only his
       briefs being asked if he wanted Pajamas. "Mmmm sleep like
       this... though.... I can get cuddly... might be good idea to
       wear pajamas... wouldn't want to... take advantage of your
       kindness." He murmured, most of his words extremely slurred.
       ---
       "Well yeah, besides, don't want to piss them both off by going
       on a date without telling them... mean... as hot as Snow looks
       when he is pissed I don't want him pissed at me," Skoll said
       with a chuckle. He couldn't wait to show Snow all the pictures
       he had later having only sent one of the tame ones to Snow and
       Red.
       A deep rumbling laugh left Skoll at Adan mentioning him
       regularly getting lost. "I have thankfully gotten better with
       directions in this lifetime," Skoll said with a smirk. "I'll
       take a coke," he answered.
       "I do remember you needing  to be rescued many times in the
       past, you aren't exceptionally kidnappable are you?" He asked
       jokingly.
       -
       Casimir made a smile as they snuggled. They got inside her
       apartment for Casimir to look around enough while she dragged
       him to her room. He watched as she got things organized just for
       him as he sat on the bed.
       He looked at his old burner phone to text a number. Before
       crushing it. It was to his friend. Somehow the idea of just
       forgetting her never set well.
       He hoped she was finding something warm to eat.. maybe even got
       lucky like he had. Once fefe would move to do something else he
       would grab her by the waist and tug her in for a warm hug.
       ———
       Vash chuckled.”you take advantage of me? Good man I feel like I
       would, since I’m sober.” He joked as he got the pajamas. Once he
       got the man dressed he said.”I’ll sleep on the couch alright? Be
       a good boy and I’ll see you in the morning.” He said with a
       twinkle in his eye.
       He was going to woo this man properly. Least in his mind he was
       going to. He craved a normal life.. and something that wasn’t
       attached to his job.. though he wasn’t sure how long he could
       hide it from a potential husband as he went to move after
       tucking the harpy in bed.
       —
       "ah I can understand that," Adan replied with a thoughtful
       expression at Skoll's explanation. "Does he have a temper?" He
       couldn't help but ask, more about han a little curious about
       Snow.
       He grinned a bit wider hearing the beastkin laugh at his
       teasing. "Well that's good to hear,"
       Adan glanced around a bit warily , his face going rather serious
       at the other's question about being kidnappable.
       "There have been some attempts in the past. I was grabbed as a
       little kid, but was able to outsmart them and get away. Plus my
       job, well let's just say there are people who like to stop my
       work. I don't believe in the rich keeping priceless artifacts
       all to themselves when they should be enjoyed by everyone," he
       explained.
       "But really, I don't need a babysitter these days. I've trained
       in defensive maneuvers, and I'm a pretty good shot when I need
       to use a gun," he added in a lower tone.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A giggle left Nefertiti as she was pulled into a tight hug after
       the man had sat on the bed for a while she put things away.
       "Everything okay? Were you waiting for me to take a shower?" She
       questioned as she turned in his arms and draped her arms around
       him, a loving look in her eyes. It felt like they had known
       eachother their whole lives.
       ---
       Hearing Vash's response dissolved the harpy into a fit of
       laughter but didn't resist letting the man put the pajamas on
       him. "Mmmm maybe I can take you on a breakfast date in the
       morning, no work tomorrow," he murmered drunkenly as he we
       settled into bed.
       Soon, only the sound of snoring could be heard from Lance's
       bedroom.
       ---
       "He can have a real bad temper but what biker doesn't have a
       temper," Skoll said with a shrug, knowing his own temper was
       exceptionally horrible. He frowned when Adan got very serious
       all of a sudden.
       "Well, it's good to know you aren't as helpless as you used to
       be. Though... I would like to be there to have your back when
       things to get hairy, I know Snow and Red would feel the same
       way...." Skoll said softly as he took his new boyfriend's hand.
       "Can't wait to get you all together..." He mused with a massive
       grin.
       Casimir chuckled.”wouldn’t mind one with you.” He said softly.
       “Kitten.” Slid out reflexively. He kissed her cheek as he went
       for the bathroom. He glanced around at just how big it was. The
       shower and a tub in the same place felt unheard of as he began
       to get undressed. He glanced at the mirror to see the scars that
       he had taken over the years. He went under the water once it
       warmed up to wash what he could while he waited for fefe.
       ——-
       Vash chuckled softly. He could hear the snoring as he tugged his
       tie loose and sat on the couch. The room felt so lived in and
       warm. “I could get use to living here.. if he wants that too..”
       he murmured to himself. He shut his phone off as he tugged his
       shirt off, and took off his belt. A few scars littered on his
       chest and side. The only evidence of his life. He settled back
       to stare at the ceiling like he always had.
       The difference between now and his normal routine? The soft
       snoring he heard from the harpy’s room.
       Somehow it became a lullaby for the man as he dozed into a soft
       sleep.
       —
       "There are worse characteristics people can have," Adan pointed
       out, not being too worried about Snow having a temper. "Now
       explosive anger and being psychotic tendencies are scary. I've
       dealt with stalkers with both,"
       Adan had the feeling that Skoll might be exaggerating his being
       helpless in the past. Not that he wanted to call the wolfkin on
       it.
       "I'd welcome having you and the others helping me. Though I hope
       I won't need it."
       Adan glanced down as Skoll took his hand and smiled softly,
       squeezing Skoll's hand gently. "I can't wait either. Hopefully
       in an meet them both soon."
       They soon finished their food and Adan led Skoll off towards the
       bookstore on the second floor of the mall.
       "What do you want me to read right you? I've been trying to
       think of something you might like. I usually read biographies or
       books based off of history. You can pick anything but...racey
       romance books. I don't think the workers would be okay with
       that," he said with a chuckle.
       --
       A smirk crossed Nefertiti's lips as she was called kitten and
       kissed on the cheek. She followed after her boyfriend and
       watched him for a moment and he stripped, soon pulling her own
       clothes off and slid in behind him in the shower, her arms
       wrapping around him and stole the soap before her hands began to
       run over his body. "I hope you had fun today, I know I can be a
       bit much," she murmured against his neck.
       ---
       The morning came far too soon as Lance groaned at the light
       pouring in from his window. The curtain having the disrespect to
       be open. The harpy pulled a pillow over his head and groan for a
       moment from his hand over. Soon, he was stumbling out of bed and
       going about his usual morning routine until he was going into
       the kitchen, passing his couch, that held a sleeping man.
       His eyes went wide as a dark blush streaked across his cheeks as
       he remembered the events of the night before. Even if things
       hadn't gotten spicy, it wasn't from his own lack of trying. He
       felt so embarrassed. He quietly made his way into the kitchen at
       that point.
       He then started cooking a nice big greasy breakfast to help kill
       his hand over and feed his guest. Soon the smells of coffee,
       back, eggs, and toast filled the apartment. while he was no five
       star chief he could cook a tasty breakfast.
       ---
       Soon, their food was gone and Adan had paid for everything and
       towed Skoll along to the bookstore upstairs in the mall. A
       rather dark blush already settling on his cheek as Adan asked
       what kind of book he wanted read to him, going even darker at
       the mention of no saucy romance books.
       "I um... don't know, I... honestly don't read much at all..."
       the beastkin murmured. His past self would have killed to be
       able to read books like Adan and yet this version had just
       wasted such a gift, it made him ache inside. "There, was this
       history book you always ready me," He said, holding his head as
       the memory came in quite painfully and vividly. "It was about a
       war, it was one from your homeland."
       ----
       Casimir felt the arms to smile a bit to feel her hands.”oh it
       was awesome- just hoping when I crash I don’t wake up and find
       this out to be some dream.” He told her as he drew her
       in.”you’ve done so much for me for someone that I barely met..
       but I felt like I knew you forever.” He said to chuckle as his
       forehead touched hers.
       “Fefe.. I do feel we are soulmates… funny I know..” he said
       softly before kissing her softly.
       —-
       Adan stilled, glancing up at Skoll as the beastkin replied,
       mentioning that he recalled Adan reading a history book about
       his past. Seeing the other holding his head, a pained look
       coming onto his face prompted Adan to draw Skoll to a couch
       inside the massive book store and have him sit down. "Do the
       memories pain you like this all the time?" He asked a look of
       concern on his face.
       "How about you rest your eyes and head and I'll look for a book
       that we both might like," He suggested kindly.
       Once he was sure Skoll was going to take his advice, he moved to
       look through the shelves of the more popular books. He paused,
       his eyebrows narrowing as he saw a somewhat familiar face on one
       of the covers and moved to pick it up. "Huh..this kind of looks
       like Skoll's red haired girlfriend,"
       He flipped it open to read the book jacket insert, making a
       thoughtful sound as he read the premise of the book he couldn't
       help but think it might just be the type of book that he and
       Skoll might both like.
       "Oh..you'll want to start with the first book in the series or
       you'll miss out on the build up of the story." Another shopper
       spoke up seeing the book he was holding.
       "First book? This is a series?"
       "Oh yes! There's five books so far, the sixth is still being
       worked on! I hear that the leading lady is gonna get herself a
       third love interest," She said a bit excitedly. "The others are
       in the supernatural mystery section."
       Adan thanked her and headed to check out the the author in the
       other section. There wasn't all that much information about the
       author which surprised him by how popular the guy seemed to be.
       "Must use a pen name for some reason." He muttered and carried
       the stack of books back to where he'd left Skoll.
       "I think I found something we'll both like. The guy who wrote
       this series uses a lot of the history of the Oasis in his work.
       Plus..doesn't this lady look a bit like Red to you?" He asked
       showing Skoll the cover of the first book.

       "I'll try and make sure not to wake you, but I'm very sure this
       isn't a dream... I feel like I've known you for many lives....
       I... think you are right... I think we are soul mates..."
       Nefertiti mused before gladly kissing Casimir back. Soon she had
       them both washed up and her hands began to roam her lover's as
       they made out under the cascading water.

       Once the food was cooked, the brown feathered harpy was making
       plates,setting his own down at the table to be eaten there and
       sat on the edge of the couch to gently shake his guest awake.
       "Morning sleepy head, I made breakfast..." Lance purred.
       ---
       A blush colored Skoll's  cheeks as he was guided to the couch in
       a rather protective manner before Adan was questioning if the
       memories hurt like this all the time. "Sometimes... you don't
       have to fuss over me I'm fine..." He lightly protested but did
       as he was told and closed his eyes.
       When his boyfriend returned with the book what seemed to depict
       Eden he looked confused. "That does look like Red.... weird...
       yeah, sounds good to me," the giant beastkin said before moving
       so his head could be in Adan's lap. The two making quite the
       pair and getting lots of stares.
       -
       Casimir heard her words as he blushed a bit. The words ringing
       something deep inside.. a faint memory of a dream of a woman
       dressed like royalty though he knew it not. “I think so too..”
       he murmured before his mouth was taken back his hands pressed
       against the wall of the shower.
       His eyes darkened a bit in lust as he slid his hand down
       touching her soft folds as he leaned next to her ear.”so what
       does my queen want?” Slid out smoothly.
       His mind went to the idea of just breeding her and making sure
       she was his alone. A faint instinct from a faint memory coursing
       of someone that was mixed.
       His eye started to glow and eerie red as a memory hit him, and
       his mouth piecing  together the ancient common tongue.
       “*nefe, my queen, forever bound we will be- while things change
       over a course of time.. I will never forget you- as the earth
       never forgets us..*” the faint vows falling from his mouth as
       his hand took hers to hold it tightly. He took in her scent, to
       merely pick her up and out of the shower.
       He brought her to the bed and placed her down carefully. “*my
       mate..*” slid out softly before his mouth would take hers,
       before his mouth would slid to her neck and lightly rake with
       his teeth, as his hands roamed her body as he waited for her to
       speak.
       ———
       Vash being what he was, snapped out of habit to grab the man’s
       arm to drag him up and turned to pin the harpy, his fist raised
       in a groggy state. He paused as he realized who it was to
       blush.”sorry!” He said to move back. The man quickly getting up
       off the guy.
       He flushed more as he said softly.”.it smells amazing.. “ he
       said as his heart finally calmed down. “I’ve been attacked in my
       sleep when I was a teen.. that was purely reflex I swear.” He
       said to rub his face.
       —
       Adan noticed Skoll's flushed cheeks, but held his tongue on how
       it made him he tough biker look adorable. He had a feeling that
       would make Skoll break out in protest or an even darker blush.
       "Well if it does bother you, please let me know. If I can help
       you through them, I want to be there for you," Adan replied
       softly, still feeling worried over Skoll going through tough
       memories on his own.
       Adan made a thoughtful sound when Skoll agreed that the picture
       looked very much like Red. He was soon smiling, a wave of
       pleasure and contentment rising inside when Skoll moved to lay
       his head in his lap to listen as he read to the man.
       He'd gotten about half way through the first chapter when he
       realized he had attracted a small crowd of listeners. He managed
       to finish the first chapter, grateful that there wasn't any racy
       scenes in the first chapter and perused the second chapter for a
       few pages before closing the book."well that's enough for here.
       It gets a bit..more descriptive in chapter 2," he explained to
       Skoll.
       The audience let out sighs and then eyed the stack of books to
       go grab copies for themselves from thebookshelves.
       Adan set the book down and then blushed when a worker approached
       saying he should come in and to readings at the store.
       "You could seriously read any book here and people would buy
       them. Your voice is very captivating,"
       "Thanks, if I ever choose to change my career path I'll take
       that on mind," Adan replied with a chuckle.
       He ran his fingers idly through Skoll's hair for a bit after the
       worker had left.
       "I suppose, I should let you get home," he sighed, not really
       wanting to end their date just yet. "I should check and see if
       my faux date is needing a ride home," he said after a moment and
       pulled his phone out.
       He couldn't help but grin seeing the text she'd sent telling him
       she had a ride home. "Well..let me go buy these books, and then
       we can decide what we want to do next. I'm free to do anything
       you want to do next,"
