       Paradise Lost - Eli, Levvy, Mozzy
       By: Minyaagar Date: February 15, 2026, 12:29 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       After a particularly rough day on the streets failing to find
       any odd jobs, Beast was resigned to looking through the
       dumpsters behind the restaurants for something to eat. After
       depending on dumpster diving for years now, he had the times and
       safe moments to dig through each one. He'd gotten it down to a
       science at this point.
       After having slim pickings at the first two places, he finally
       headed to the back of the closest fast food restaurant.
       His stomach growling loudly, he carefully started  shifting
       through the top bags and garbage on hoped of finding something
       edible.
       "If I had an address I could get a real job and be able to
       afford food," he muttered to himself.
       No matter how hungry he got though he would never go back into
       the system. He'd suffered under the care of too many foster
       families to ever go back into it. He'd rather half starve trying
       to take care of himself than submit to another adult.
       "Score! Warm fries!" He exclaimed finding a bag of fries and
       started munching on them happily.
       ----fin----
       Levvy was heading out of the burger joint from another failed
       date. She could hear her father wanting to ‘talk’ to the kid.
       Her tail swayed a little when she heard a teen voice. She saw
       how he scrounged for food to get a gentle look. She gently
       walked over.”hey… want a burger?… way more than those fries and
       they accidentally did give me an extra.” She said as her ears
       pointed his way. She still was cautious of the fact- others had
       tried to rob her before as she kept to the public eye by not
       walking in too much farther of the alleyway.
       —fin—
       Beast was quite enjoying the salty half warm fries, trying to
       make them last by eating them slowly. He nearly jumped out of
       his skin at the voice suddenly speaking and moved to huddle in
       the shadow of the dumpster. An end of a fry was sticking out the
       side of his mouth as he peered up at the gorgeous white haired
       girl.
       When he realized she didn't mean him harm and was offering him
       some food his brow wrinkled slightly and he inched a bit closer
       sniffing.
       "Toss...toss it over," he finally said, a look of suspicion in
       his eyes.
       His sense of smell suddenly enhanced and his eyes widened when
       he realized she was a beastkin like him. His own ears swiveled
       slightly as he stared at her.
       "Th-thank you for sharing," he murmured reaching up to brush his
       hair out if his face a bit.
       --fin--
       She tossed the food over, her eyes watching the boy snag it and
       thank her.”I don’t mind.. dad use to be in this position long
       time ago.. “ she said her hands going behind her.”my names
       Levvy- wanna come to my place? I got extra clothes that Farid
       has that he doesn’t wear anymore- it might fit you.” She said
       blinking.
       That is when she heard her date. “Really you come out here to
       talk to the hoodrat?” He asked as her face twisted.”he’s not
       thanks- and your an ass that’s why I walked out- don’t worry I
       paid for the food.” She said to feel her arm grabbed.”like hell
       you gave him my burger.” He spat as she growled back.”best a
       kind soul than an ugly one like you.” She started as she went to
       pull herself away.
       —fin—
       Beast easily caught the tossed bag, his mouth salivating a bit
       at the smell of the greasy burger.  He paused in pulling out the
       burger at her explanation of her own father growing up like he
       was.
       He tilted his head to the side, a bit shocked and surprised at
       her offer to come to her home, and offering him clothes.
       He glanced down at his stained slightly torn and ripped clothes
       feeling a bit self conscious about them.
       "M-maybe," he muttered slowly. His ears flattened at the new
       voice, and retreated further into the shadows, clinging to the
       bag of food as the two teens argued.
       Perhaps if he'd been braver Beast would have tried to come to
       her rescue. As it was, the poor teen was terrified of the talker
       older teen and desperately looked for a way to escape the alley.
       His fright left him though when the other teen twisted Levvy's
       arm when she tried to pull away.
       "Let her go!" He was suddenly snarling, his cat fangs showing
       and threw the burger bag hard at the other's face. It exploded
       and covered the offenders face in hot grease making him let out
       a pained cry.
       "Fu.cking hoodrat! Now you're gonna pay!"
       Beast evaded the other's fist and tripped the taller teen making
       him go sprawling.
       "Let's get out of here!" Beast exclaimed grabbing Levvy's hand
       and rushed off as quickly as he could.
       --fin--
       She didn’t expect the teen to come to her rescue. She felt her
       hand snagged as they went toward the ally.”isn’t this a bad
       idea?” She asked nervously to see the guy gaining on them.  She
       felt worry for the first time in her life to get her phone, but
       before she could call her father tripped as her phone hit the
       ground and skidded, the boy coming up. “Run.” She told beast not
       wanting him to get hurt for her bad date choices.
       —fin—
       The sound of fighting had drawn Mozzy from his hiding place to
       spot the two teens running from some guy with an attitude
       problem. Mozzy twirled the metal pile in his had to thwack the
       man in the back of the head causing him to crumple just before
       he could grabbed the wolfkin.
       "You know, you shouldn't be wandering around back here by
       yourself." He mused as he tossed the now bloody pipe, wiped his
       hand on his jeans and then offered it to the fallen girl. "You
       okay?" He asked seeming unfazed by the likely murder he just
       committed.
       -fin-
       "No time for thinking, move!" Beast insisted quickly.
       Of course she didn't listen instead trying to get her phone out
       and tripping them both up. Beast's arm was nearly yanked out of
       socket before he went sprawling hard onto the hot asphalt and
       letting out a pained cry.
       He rolled over to see the asshole only steps away from them. He
       tried scrambling up, but had no intention of leaving Levvy to
       the mercy of the as.shole even if he didn't stand a chance
       against the muscular teen.
       Then much to his shock the guy went down hard after getting his
       skull smashed in by another guy wielding a metal pole.
       He stood there frozen, fear racing through him as the new guy
       offered Levvy a hand up as if nothing had happened.
       He glanced at the fallen body and the growing blood pool.
       "You...you killed him." He murmured blinking in disbelief.
       He heard the sound of voices and other people heading towards
       them and moved to grab Levvy's other hand and helped her up
       quickly.
       "We gotta hide and fast. They'll put us in prison or worse!" He
       exclaimed fearfully.
       -fin-
       Lev was getting ready to claw the fu.ckers face out when she
       heard a sickening thud.
       She heard the teen say what he had to blush just a little.”yeah
       thanks.” She said to take his hand- she almost seemed very
       little phased at what she saw. After all her father was still a
       gang member on a level.  She saw how beast panicked.”- honestly
       this would have still panned out with him dead.. dad is so not
       gonna let me live this down.” She muttered as she walked to her
       phone and texted instead. “We do need to move but hero over
       there probably needs to ditch the evidence.” She said in a sigh.
       “What size do you wear?” She asked the boy as she texted a
       little more.
       —fin—
       The panic out of the boy had Mozzy chuckling. "You two are
       funny," he mused before his eyes started to glow, with a snap of
       his fingers, the three of them were already across town.
       "See no rush, can get cleaned up here." He said, opening the
       door in the unnaturally dark alley to a chaotically furnished
       hideaway.
       "Collect yourselves, then, I can get you where you need to be.
       Don't worry about alley guy, someone will eventually find him."
       He mused as he pulled his shirt off and tossed it into a magical
       fireplace and pulled out some clean clothes for himself and
       beast seeing as they guy looked about his size.
       -fin-
       Beast was starting to almost hyperventilate as his panic built.
       Then he was shocked out of it when they were teleported
       instantly away across the town.
       Beast's eyes widened, his mouth falling open at the strange teen
       opening a random door to reveal a rather odd eclectic hideaway.
       He blinked, unable to speak and trying to decipher what had just
       happened.
       The clothes he was offered reminded him of just how dirty he was
       underneath his own ratty torn ones.
       "Do you have a bathroom I could use?" He questioned glancing
       around, a bit of wonder on his eyes at the place. "Just...how
       did you do that?"
       Beast glanced to Levvy recalling her asking his size a few
       moments before they'd been teleported. "Skinny as a waif,
       whatever size that is," he told her and scratched his head
       hating how itchy he felt. "i don't suppose you have a shower
       here...do you?" He asked hating how hopeful he sounded almost
       instantly.
       --fin--
       Levvy made a wide eyed look at what he did. “How did you do
       that?” She asked as she heard her phone go off.  She still typed
       on it. “Mm it’s fine but I know I’ll be approached by the cops
       later.. I was on camera dating the as.shole.”
       Her eyes went to beast to feel for the guy. “Thanks for helping
       me- honestly- I was going to call dad. See he’s sort of part of
       a gang- tends to scare the as.sholes off a lot of the time.” She
       explained. “Plus he does find cleanup so hopefully they get
       there first.” She said with a sigh.
       —fin—
       "Magic, old magic in fact. Yes I do indeed have a bathroom and
       shower, though, I think you might need a little help to get
       completely clean if you don't mind my help, in fact, I insist."
       Mozzy mused.
       "Make yourself at home, just, try not to touch anything that you
       dont know what it is, i have a few cursed items here." he told
       the girl.
       The eclectic teen then took Beast by the wrist to drag him
       through another doorway that led to a nice big bathroom. Mozzy
       closed the door and finished stripping fully, "I'll destroy the
       clothes so don't worry about it, just strip and jump in," he
       mused as he turned the water on and soon slipped in. "The water
       is perfect," he added.
       -fin-
       Beast's ears folded back hearing Levvy mentioning cops. That was
       the last thing he needed or wanted. He'd just have to find
       somewhere to lay low.
       "Are...are there cameras by that dumpster?" He asked shrinking a
       bit at the thought of having gotten caught on film.
       "Thanks for the food even though I didn't get to eat it," he
       said with a grateful look.
       The hair on his tail puffed up a bit when the strange teen said
       he'd done magic and then insisted on helping him get clean in
       the shower.
       He stared at the teen a bit dumbfounded hearing the guy had
       cursed items in his home. Beast let out a slight yelp when he
       was grabbed and pulled off towards the bathroom.
       He huddled against the door holding the clean clothes staring
       with shock as the other guy stripped in front of him and then
       got the water going before climbing in.
       Beast's face was a very bright red, looking almost like a cherry
       at seeing the other teen completely naked.
       "Can...can I at least know your name before I get naked?" He
       asked sounding a bit awkward as he set the clean clothes on the
       sink top and got off his holey shoes and socks first. Once he
       heard the other's name he got to pulling off the rest of his
       clothes and tossed them in a pile next to Mozzy 's.
       Then beast covered his privates as he got into the shower with
       the teen, feeling very self conscious of the scars and bruises
       on his body. Not to mention how his ribs stuck out.
       "Sorry, I know I smell pretty bad," he apologized, lowering his
       head, letting his hair fall to cover face more. It has been a
       very long time since he'd had a haircut as well. His body was a
       rather bright pink as it completely flushed from being so close
       to Mozzy's naked self.
       --fin--
       Hearing the shy teen request to at least know the dijin's name,
       he popped his head out of the shower, "Mozzy," he answered
       easily before going back in and patiently waiting. A gentle
       expression coming to his eyes seeing how shy and embarrassed the
       guy was.
       "Don't worry about it, that is what showers are for, wash away
       the filth. I can even get your hair nice and trimed up if you
       like, I'll take good care of you," he said, gently pulling the
       teen under the water.
       "Mind me asking your name back?" He questioned as he got soap
       and began to give Beast a *deep* scrub. Focusing on the long
       matted hair last. It took a few hours but soon Mozzy had the guy
       clean.
       "There, good as new, oh wait." He mused before giving Beast a
       *deep* kiss, sending magic through the teen's body and healing
       his injuries. "There, a kiss the make all the booboos better,"
       he mused with a wink before he got out of the shower to dry off
       and put on the fresh clothes before he scooped up the old to
       throw it into the fire when he came out of the bathroom and
       began to set up both a meal and get his scissors ready to cut
       Beast's hair.
       -fin-
       Meanwhile Levvy kept standing at the sound of cursed things soon
       as she saw the boy come back in just asked.”can you tell me
       where exactly safe is for sitting?” She asked her tail a bit
       tucked underneath her skirt and her ears down. “Rather not get
       cursed accidentally.” She said with a sigh.
       ----
       Beast felt rather reassured by Mozzy's telling him not to worry.
       The sensation of the warm water on his body brought out a
       pleased moan and he lost himself in it.
       "Okay, you can cut it, but not too short please," Beast replied.
       "Uh...it's Eli but I also go by Beast. You can call me either
       one," he  added.
       He about melted under the hands scrubbing over his tired achy
       body. The touching also made him flushing even darker, when his
       body responded in other ways he hadn't experienced before.
       After the long drawn out shower a scrub down, Beast was half
       asleep. Until Mozzy was suddenly leaning in and kissing him
       deeply on the mouth.
       Beast stared at Mozzy with wide deer like eyes, his tail
       suddenly swaying like crazy, his ears standing at attention.
       He was standing there in shock for several moments trying to
       figure out why Mozzy had kissed him without warning.
       Then he realized his bruises and scars had been completely
       healed.
       He slowly got dressed and found a second towel to try a dry off
       his long hair slowly and silently stalking from the bathroom.
       "The couch or chair looks safe enough," he said to Levvy after
       hearing her sighed words.
       His nose picked up on the food that Mozzy was setting out and
       his stomach chose that moment to erupt in an endless loud angry
       growl.
       "Yeah I know you're hungry," he said patting his stomach as if
       trying to appease it like it was a living thing. "What are you
       making Mozzy?" He asked curiously.
       --fin--
       At Levvy's question and Beast's comment, Mozzy was once again
       chuckling. "The couch and chair are indeed safe. I don't just
       leave...." He started before his eyes fell on an item that made
       shat he was about to say untrue. "Well... I don't leave most
       cursed items laying around." He said as he got a rag and picked
       up an innocent looking doll an threw it into a closet. "This is
       my curse closet." He explained before a random seeming ding
       noise sounded.
       "Oh! The food is ready. I don't know what it is making. I
       attuned it to your hunger so whatever you desire and need more
       likely." He said before pulling off the cover of the now ready
       meal.
       -fin-
       Levvy still seemed uncertain at first.”I don’t know- Farid sat
       in a cursed chair once and well any chair after that would break
       with one leg.” She said sheepishly.”he finally got rid of it-
       but luckily it was a minor curse.” She said before hearing
       moxxy’s assurance of the chair and couch. She opted for the
       chair. She saw the a doll to make another face. “Mmhmm- staying
       away from that.” She said softly.”and it’s okay- sorry that
       asshole made you waste it.” She said with a sigh.
       Her eyes flickered to the pot to tilt her head as she waited to
       see what beast would say given it was attuned to him.
       —fin—
       Beast turned to glance in the direction that Mozzy looked and
       shivered picking up a very dark vibe from the doll on the floor.
       "Why does that doll make me think its the living embodiment of
       evil?" He asked, edging away from the closet and made a motion
       of a cross over his chest shaking a bit.
       He was suddenly wondering where the hell this place was..and why
       he'd followed this stranger inside without asking questions
       first.
       His ears folded backe against his head when the other mentioned
       that the pot was making whatever he had been desiring.
       "How...how is that even possible? Where the hell are we?" He
       asked, inching closer to cling to the white haired girl, his
       hands grabbing her jacket as he buried his face into her
       shoulder.
       He had no desire for food, now that he knew there was magic in
       this place. Magic was dangerous and vengeful. He'd had to live
       with a mad wizard during the first few years of his life in the
       foster system. "Can..can we please just leave? I can't stay
       here..there's too much stuff here freaking me out. I can feel
       the evil things in the closet, my head is killing me..and I'd
       rather not take chances on food from a magic pot. Last time..I
       ended up waking up as a cat  and stayed that way for three years
       of my life."
       -fin-
       Seeing Beasts reaction had a deep frown coming to Mozzy's face,
       clearly hurt by the distrust. "Well... right now, we are in my
       lamp, I have it well hidden so no one can force me to grant
       wishes.  I can take you back but given you are trying to lay low
       it wouldn't be the best idea... I won't force you to stay..." He
       said quite mopey over the idea as he put the lid back over the
       fresh food meant for Eli.
       -fin-
       Levvy felt the cling of beast and how his face went to her
       coat.  Her eyes went soft, she felt for the boy before hearing
       the other. “Djinn?” She asked gently.”beast we will be fine-
       djinn generally are kind- that’s how they get used sadly- “ she
       said trying to coax the teen to sit.”my name is Levvy- what’s
       your names?” She asked with a tender tone in her voice.
       “Clearly you trust us enough to have us inside… “ she said with
       a soft look. Part of her would have asked to wish him free- but
       something told her he’d not believe her if she asked.
       “Beast I think it’s best we wait a bit longer.” She told him as
       she heard her phone go off. She smiled a little.”sorry it’s my
       dad, he should take care of the problem so we can relax a bit.”
       She said as she took beast with her to sit down.
       “I like how your home looks.” She said with a smile.
       While it looked a tad chaotic- it certainly was homey.
       —fin—
       Beast did feel a bit bad for hurting Mozzy's feelings, but was
       relieved to hear the magical boy wasn't going to force him to
       stay if he wanted to go. In all honesty, it was more the feeling
       of being caged that freaked him out than anything else.
       For a moment he was a bit confused over the mention of a lamp
       until Levvy asked the other of he was a djinn..how had he not
       figured that out?
       "Really? That's terrible," he said softly thinking of the many
       times his own kindness had caused him problems. "If you want you
       both can call me Eli. Beast is kind of just a nickname." He
       explained relaxing a bit more.
       He finally nodded slowly at Levvy's saying they should wait and
       stay there until the trouble died down.
       "S-sorry for hurting your feelings Mozzy," he apologized after
       Levvy had pulled him to sit down next to her. "I..I just have
       trouble trusting most people. I've been hurt by other magic
       people in the past," he explained and reached to pull his tail
       around himself and played with the end a bit.
       --fin--
       "Yes, I am a Djinn, I escaped my last master a few years ago.
       Hid my lamp after that.  You can call me Mozzy. It's not so much
       that I trust you two, just... you were in need of help so I
       helped..." He explained.
       He was glad to hear the beastkin convince the teen to stay for a
       while, explaining her dad was getting things cleaned up.he was
       taken off guard by Eli apologizing for hurting his feelings.
       Mozzy gave him a  halfhearted smile.
       "That's alright, I'm used to being hurt by the people I try to
       help..." He said plainly before using working on getting
       everything he had set up for beast away. The shifter clearly not
       trusting him.
       -fin-
       “Still even the fact.” Said Levvy.”thank you.” She said with a
       smile.
       She heard beast speak again and speak of his reasonings. She
       felt for both the boys. “Sometimes things happen and well in
       some we can’t help with how we react.. try to not dwell on it
       now- we are safe and that’s what matters.” Said Levvy.”Mozzyy
       mind if I have a drink? All that running made me thirsty.” She
       asked and let her tail show. It was her way of showing she felt
       safe. Her ears turning in places as if keeping an ear out.
       “It’s terrible having to hide your lamp.. and more so when it’s
       the terrible ones get ahold of you.” She said frowning.
       —fin—
       Beast's tail wrapped around his leg, his ears falling a bit at
       Mozzy's saying he was used to being hurt by those he tried to
       help. He felt terrible about hurting the guy's feelings, but he
       couldn't really help or change what he was fearful about.
       "Yeah, true," he said agreed softly, hiding behind his hair band
       making himself as small as he could, wishing he could go
       invisible.
       It was obvious that they'd have to stay there awhile until
       things died down. He sighed and tried to ignore his grumbling
       stomach and chewed on his fingernails, wishing he had the
       hamburger that had gotten smashed.
       His gaze flicked up when Levvy mentioned that Mozzy might be
       hiding from terrible people himself.
       "Maybe we can help you break free of your lamp," he spoke up.
       "Is it the same as in the Aladdin movie? You just need someone
       to wish you free?"
       -fin-
       At Levvy's request, Mozzy snapped his fingers for a thin stand
       appeared with a single glass filled with water and a pitcher
       next to it along with a trey of cookies. "Hope that will satisfy
       your needs." He said with a grin before Beast asked about the
       lamp and wishes.
       "Well, I suppose someone could wish me free of my lamp, but, I
       don't think anyone would ever do such a thing... most wish me to
       serve them for the rest of their life. My lamp is just better
       off hidden..." He said with a sigh as he began to sit on
       seemingly nothing, a chair with lion feet came running to be
       right under him when he was seated.
       "I wouldn't exactly go off the Aladdin movie for your Djinn lore
       though," he added with a chuckle.
       -fin-
       Levvy saw the water to smile softly.”thank you kindly.” She said
       as she took her glass to drink some of the water.
       She listened to beast and Mozzy talk. She couldn’t blame the
       djinn on what he said. People were greedy. And most didn’t care
       for those that struggled. She chuckled in return. “I understand-
       it would take a great amount of trust that isn’t there since we
       don’t really know each other.” She said. Her tail gave a gentle
       swish.
       “So Mozzy- I do wish to do that- so I hope you can sate my
       curiosity a little but - is it true the lamps are the prisons or
       is it an attempt to keep the magic in check? I hear it’s
       powerful time and space magic- making the impossible possible-
       granted it’s rumors. I only ask cause well- I was always curious
       as to why your kind are truly bound to your lamps.” She said her
       eyes giving a soft blink.
       —fin—
       The sudden appearance of the water and plate of cookies on the
       table startled Beast so much he nearly toppled off of his perch
       on the chair. He managed to catch himself, his heart racing a
       bit. Why did he have to be so afraid of magic? It wasn't as if
       Mozzy was using it to try and hurt him.
       "I hate that dam.ned wizard," he muttered, his thoughts suddenly
       filled with the memories of the dark wizard that had taken so
       much from him.
       Mozzy's joke about the Disney movie he had referenced had Beast
       break into a shy smile and relax a bit more.
       While the other two of continued talking he slowly got off his
       seat to go look into the magic cooking pot. His eyes widened
       seeing a stack of burgers inside.
       He pulled out one to sniff it and then took the teeniest bite
       possible. After that he was wolfing down one after another until
       he was  completely stuffed and feeling sleepy.
       Not wanting to disturb the others' conversation, Beast curled up
       on the floor and slowly dozed off. Soon he was snoring lightly,
       his tail moving to curl around him.
       -fin-
       "Well, there is some truth to it. Most dijinn view it as a home,
       others a curse. Originally, my kind were bound to them as a way
       to control the unruly of my kind. Then there was merit in how it
       could increase our power in a lot of ways, but no one foresaw
       that it would leave us vulnerable to other races..." He had
       explained, going into more detail as he caught Beast looking at
       the pot, smiling a little when he noticed the teen pull a burger
       out. They guy soon going to town on the never ending pile of
       burgers.
       "As far as I can tell, anything that gives incredible power is
       going to have a drawback at some point..." He finished just as
       he heard the snoring.
       "Poor guy," Mozzy mused, moved over to Beast and scooping the
       teen up in his arms before hauling him into the nearby room with
       a nice big bed inside.
       It didn't take much effort to get Beast tucked in and settled,
       leaving the door barely open so hopefully Eli wouldn't freak
       when he woke up.
       "Hopefully by the time he wakes your father will be done and the
       two of you can go... though... I don't exactly want to just...
       let Beast go live on the street again..." He said with a sigh to
       Levvy once the pair were in the main area again.
       -fin-
       Levvy listened intently as Mozzy spoke. Her ear flickered a
       little as she got a soft look.”Shame it went that way- given you
       litterly can manipulate spaces so well. “ she said to side eye
       beast eating to smile a little.
       She watched as he curled to sleep to chuckle a bit. “Can’t blame
       him- nice meal and a safe place put anyone to sleep.” Said the
       beastkin.
       “I feel the same for him- if he continues a gang member of one
       of the three might grab him.” She said softly as she folded her
       hands on her lap.
       “And really thank you- I didn’t expect my date to be so…
       vicious.. “ she said to play with her hair a bit.
       “Would it be alright if I visit? Maybe we can have a place to
       meet up safely? “ she asked.
       Her eye ran over mozzy a little to blush a bit.”mean.. I
       wouldn’t mind getting to know both my rescuers after all.” She
       said to twirl a strand of her hair a little.
       —fin—
       "Maybe you can help me convince him to stay with me... I would
       love to have you come visit us and get to know you better! I can
       figure out a safe place to meet and text you. You are quite the
       adorable wolfkin, smart too... if your date haven't been that
       way, we wouldn't have met, so, take the good with the bad."
       Mozzy mused.
       -fin-
       The girl got a bit of a blush at mozzy’s compliment towards her.
       Her tail swayed a bit.”mmhmm.. definitely the lemonade from the
       lemons..” she murmured to flush.”sorry it’s a saying I
       remembered.” She said as she gave a soft blink. “So.. is there
       anything you want to do or do for fun?” She asked as her finger
       tugged a little at the strand as she realized she caught it in
       her twirling. She untangled it a bit as she listened for his
       answer.
       —fin—
       "Well, I can manifest any kind of board or card came you could
       want. I usually wander around and people watch when I get bored.
       That's what I had been doing when I found you in the first
       place. Mean, unless you didn't gave actual game in mind," Mozzy
       mused with a wink before he sat down on the couch next to Levvy.
       "What do you do for fun?" He questioned with a smirk, enjoying
       the blush he had caused.
       -fin-
       Levvy listened a bit as she watched him sit by her and asked his
       question.”oh.. I read, watch movies.. flirt…” she joked a
       bit.”course… if a cute boy is involved.. tend to have a
       weakness..” she said to play with the edge of her skirt. She
       would lean in as her lips would touch his.
       She parted a bit to blush.”was it alright I kissed you?” She
       asked with a bit of a blink at him.
       —fin—
       At first, Mozzy just listened, his eyebrow raising at the
       mention of flirting was one of the things she did for fun,
       before admitting to a weakness for cute boys. It was at this
       point he realized she was flirting with him, especially when she
       gently pressed her lips to his.
       A scarlet blush raced across his cheeks, even more when she
       asked if that had been alright. "Yeah, it's alright you kissed
       me, have a weakness for adorable beastkin and shifters," he
       mused, cupping her cheek in his hand to draw her into another
       kiss. He hadn't had many chances to kiss someone willingly and
       was going to take that opportunity. He more hoped this wouldn't
       be a one time thing but was content with staying in the moment
       for now.
       -fin-
       Having been in the streets for so long had Beast always on edge
       and never truly relaxing or sleeping more than short periods of
       time. It hadn't just been to stay safe on the streets, but also
       to avoid the nightmares that plagued him.
       As his mind settled into a deeper state of sleep, the nightmare
       began to unfold, bringing first a whimper and then soft cries,
       his body moving and thrashing around as the nightmare unfolded.
       "No...please... lemme go," came from his lips as he got more
       tangled in the blanket.
       --fin--
       Levvy smiled softly at the boy. Hearing that he swung both ways
       made her smile widen a bit. His lips went back on hers as they
       kissed. They were starting to get into it when she heard a
       whimper that caused her ear to turn and break the kiss.”beast
       sounds like he’s having a nightmare.” She said worried. Course
       it was mixed with mild disappointment since Mozzy was so
       receptive. She moved a bit to get up.”we best try to sooth him.”
       She said with a soft smile.
       —fin—
       Given Levvy's ears were more keen than his own, Mozzy didn't
       hear the whimpering until the beastkin mentioned thinking Eli
       was having a nightmare. A look of worry came to his eyes as the
       dijinn was swiftly on his feet and headed to the room he had
       left the shifter in.
       More concern filling him at the tangled mess and cries of Beast.
       Mozzy used a spell to detach the blanket before sitting down
       next to the nightmare filled Eli and gently shook his shoulder,
       but when they didn't rouse him out of the nightmare, Mozzy drew
       the shifter into his arms and showered his face with kisses.
       "You are safe, I won't let anyone hurt you," he soothed.
       -fin-
       Beast's flailing stopped when the restriction of the blanket
       disappeared. His distressed cries continued despite the gentle
       shake from Mozzy. It wasn't until he felt the arms draw him in
       and his face covered in kisses did his eyes slowly slide open.
       Beast took in a shuddering breath and burrowed his face into
       Mozzy's neck, his arms sliding around the other's waist.
       "Promise?" He muttered in a sleepy muffled voice. Then he was
       pulling back and looking around for Levvy.  When his eyes lit on
       her he reached out a hand. "Wanna join the cuddle pile?" He
       asked, sounding more like a little kid than a teenager.
       Often after particularly rough nightmares, his mind would
       sometimes go back to simpler times when he'd been safe. It was a
       protective measure his mind had worked out to keep him from
       being overwhelmed by the horrible memories that plagued him.
       ----fin----
       Levvy came in to see Mozzy act right away. She felt a twinge of
       jealousy as she couldn’t help it. But it melted with the
       innocence of beast as she gave a soft smile. “Might as well.”
       She said as she slid her shoes off and crawled in the
       bed.”honestly you and Mozzy should stick together.. you’ll be
       safer in numbers.” Said Levvy as she stated one of the things
       her father often spouted off. “Plus it’s a warm bed and you’ll
       get plenty of food.” She said with a gentle look.
       —fin—
       "I promise with my whole heart Eli," Mozzy had answered, giving
       Levvy a sweet smile when Beast asked her to join them. The
       Dijinn moved so he and Levvy were on either side on the reclined
       Beast. Mozzy doing his best to be comforting.
       "She is right... If you stayed with me, I would make sure you
       were safe and fed with a nice warm bed, and I'll be here to keep
       you company. We can even go out to a park or forest or something
       if you feel too cooped up...." He found himself suggesting as he
       gently ran his fingers through Eli's hair.
       -fin-
       Beast smiled, feeling quite happy when Levvy joined them. There
       was something about her and Mozzy that made him feel safe. Even
       more so when Mozzy promised with his heart to keep him safe. No
       one had ever said that before, and with the others arms around
       him, he finally felt like he had people he could finally trust.
       "It's not a bad idea," he mumbled in response to both saying he
       should stay with Mozzy. His eyes slowly closed at the fingers
       playing in his hair.
       "Suppose we could try," he  sighed out before snuggling closer
       and reaching back to pull Levvy's arm over his waist. "Closer
       please,"
       --fin--
       Levvy felt herself arm taken over his waist and snuggled closer.
       She blushed a bit lightly. “I can visit anytime..” she said
       softly. A song came to mind as she began to hum, a gentle
       soothing one she remembered as a child. She still remembered her
       mother that she had lost at a tender age of seven.
       Her ear moving around as she hummed as it felt a lot calmer the
       more she did so.
       —fin—
       At Beast agreeing to stay and both snuggling closer combined
       with Levvy's sweet humming, Mozzy was soon fast asleep. His
       dreams changing the inside of his lamp as they slept. It would
       continue to change until he woke back up.
       Different parts of the rooms would shift. The dresser going from
       a falling apart drab piece of trash to an extravagant wardrobe.
       The light sifting from a chandelier to a spotlight, and then to
       a more extravagant chandelier. Even the bed and sheets they
       layed in changed around them.
       It was normal to the dijinn, so he didn't think to warn the
       pair.
       -fin-
       The warm bodies draped and wrapped around Eli was so comforting
       that it was quite late when he finally started stirring from his
       slumber.
       He let out a groan and slowly sat up, careful to not disturb his
       new friends too much.  Eli stretched out a bit and then blinked
       and rubbed his eyes as he took in the changes to his
       surroundings.
       "Hope the bathroom hasn't changed too much," he murmured and
       slipped out of the bed to relieve himself.
       His eyes got rather round at the other changes he witnessed
       happening around the djinn's lamp. It was kind of trippy and
       quite bizarre to him.
       He headed back into the bedroom a few moments later, and gently
       shook Levvy and Mozzy, trying to wake them up.
       "Mozzy, Levvy, wake up. There's weird stuff going on and things
       I gotta do." He said a bit urgently.
       He had agreed to stay with Mozzy, but he needed to get back to
       where he'd stashed his things before someone stole them. Sure
       most of his stuff was trashy but they were his. He has very
       little to his name, and he wasn't about to give them up.
       Especially the one picture he had of his birth mom and the
       letter she'd left with him as a baby.
       "Mozzy, Levvy, come on wake up!" He persisted, getting just a
       bit louder and shook them a little more.
       --fin--
       Levvy slept a bit more than she intended. She felt a shake to
       wake up and noticed differences as she got a bit wide eyed.”his
       lamp…can change?” She murmured at first to chuckle. Of course it
       was a thing..having magic to do such things would be normal. She
       noticed mozzy was sleeping a bit hard. “Hey mozzy.. time to wake
       up.” She said to think and leaned for a kiss as a last ditch
       effort to wake him up.
       —fin—
       Despite the sorted traumatizing past Mozzy had endured, the teen
       was a very heavy sleeper. The shaking to his body translating to
       the world in his dream shaking. He was sitting at a nice table
       speaking and having tea with some Victorian age women and men,
       two of the group looking like Levvy and Eli. Then, the woman who
       looked like Levvy, came around the table and yanked him up from
       his seat and into a kiss.
       This caused the reality in the lamp to change a little as the
       room shook as Mozzy was shaken and when Levvy kissed him, all
       their outfits changed into fancy Victorian garb before a groan
       left Mozzy as his eyes fluttered open, going wide to see the
       woman in his dream actually kissing him in real life, but it
       didn't stop him from kissing her back as his eyes drooped back
       closed, the groggy djinn still not fully awake but the lamp had
       at least stopped changing.

       Re: Paradise Lost - Eli, Levvy, Mozzy

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       "I guess so," Eli said scratching his head and shifted from foot
       to foot feeling a bit wary. The magic of the lamp was starting
       to wear on his nerves.
       His eyes widened and his mouth fell open when Levvy leaned in to
       kiss Mozzy. "Hey!" He protested, a strangely hurt feeling going
       through him at the sight. Was this jealousy he was feeling?
       Seeing both Mozzy and Levvy's change suddenly and his own
       becoming more constricting had him jump back in surprise.
       "What the hell just happened?" He cried out, his gaze looking
       down at the strange pants and shirt, vest and long coat he was
       now wearing.
       "Mozzy! What is this get up? It's too tight!" He fussed trying
       to pull at the collar around his neck. "It's nearly as bad as
       the magic collar I was forced to wear," he grumbled more than a
       little freaked out.
       -fin-
       Levvy felt the kiss back to  sigh into it before parting.”he’s
       dreaming and it’s affecting the lamp- magic of time and space
       can do that.” She told Eli.
       ”definitely not fond of the corset- I can hardly breathe!” She
       complained. Her ear twitched.
       “Instead of acting jealous why not use those lips to wake him up
       more.” She said her side eyeing the shifter. “He likes us both
       you know.” She said with a smirk.
       —fin—
       Eli glanced over at Levvy seeing the tight corset and dress
       she'd been forced into wearing and his eyes widened a bit. "Well
       it it helps at all, you look gorgeous in it," he said a bit
       shyly and brushed his hair back.
       Then he was blushing quite darkly when she suggested he use his
       own lips to wake the still sleepy Mozzy.
       "Uhh...he does?" He asked,  feeling the blood rushing into his
       face and his heart beat thumping wildly in his chest.
       "I.. suppose I could," he muttered and moved in to lean over
       Mozzy's face and looked down at him.
       From this angle, and the relaxed look on Mozzy's face..the djinn
       teen looked quite young and vulnerable. "Don't be mad," he
       whispered softly and leaned down to press a soft kiss to Mozzy's
       lips.
       --fin--
       When Eli moved over the dijinn, the teen was nearly dozing again
       already, so when he felt the next set of let's, Mozzy groaned
       and wrapped his arms around the teen to pull him in closer and
       kiss him back, pulling back after a few moments with a smirk on
       his lips. "Not mad in the slightest cutie..... what are you two
       wearing, mean, don't get me wrong like of love the look..." He
       questioned before a look of realization hit him. "Ohhh, bet that
       stuff is uncomfortable..." He murmured, snapping his fingers to
       turn the clothes into sleep shirts with nothing else under. His
       own clothes turning to sleep pants. "Better?" He questioned,
       giving Beast another kiss. "Want to let me up? Or did you have
       more in mind than just kissing me sexy?" He questioned with a
       growing smirk.
       -fin-
       Levvy slightly blushed at beasts compliment. “Well thank you and
       yes he does.” She said to back up and let the two kiss.
       She felt a twinge of jealousy at how Mozzy drew in beast but
       chuckled at the response. Levvy gave a small dry look at the
       question- but it seemed he realized as she felt the clothes
       change but noticed lack of things underneath to close her legs a
       bit bashful given the dress was ample for how she was sitting.
       “Should have known your dreaming affects the lamp.” Chuckled
       Levvy.”any way to bring you out of a hard sleep if there is
       something you can’t get out of?” She asked softly.
       Dreams were one thing- but she wanted at least some amount of
       prep if this guy had a nightmare.
       —fin—
       Eli couldn't stop from releasing a soft moan at the arms
       wrapping around him and a much deeper kiss being returned. By
       the time Mozzy pulled back, Eli's face was a bright red and got
       even darker when he was called a cutie.
       He relaxed a bit once he was out of the tight clothes. Then felt
       just how breezy things were and let out a soft yelp and pulled
       away to wrap the blanket around his bottom half.
       His face got rather pink at Mozzy's questions and tugged the
       blanket up over his face and rolled back into the middle of the
       bed and buried himself from sight.
       "Just mortified that I don't have pants or underwear on," he
       replied in a muffled tone. "If you're talking about...sex..no
       I'm too embarrassed to do anything but hide right now,"
       After a few moments he pulled the blanket down a bit and eyed
       Mozzy with a sigh. "Can ya scrounge up more clothes? Cause I
       have to go get my stuff,"
       --fin--
       Seeing the reaction of the two had Mozzy chuckling to himself,
       especially when Eli buried himself. The dijinn closed his eyes
       and imagined reasonable but stylish street cloths that he hoped
       the pair might like and snapped his fingers to make it a
       reality. He then slowly got out of bed and slowly changed some
       things back to how they originally were why leaving some,
       especially when he couldn't remember what he previously be
       there.
       He looked in a full body mirror to change his own clothes before
       finally teleporting them to the park. "Ah fresh air, there is a
       little coffee shop around here that I love," he mused as if this
       was their normal routine.
       -fin-
       Levvy watched as the clothes morphed a bit to blush a bit. She
       noticed the corset look was back into place but with a bit more
       of modern fashion the leather coat giving it a nice touch.”guess
       I do look that good in it..” she murmured before the sudden
       teleport had her grasping Mozzy’s arm, “sorry! Just..
       teleporting can be a bit surreal.” She said to blush a bit.
       “Coffee shop? Is it a little shop?” She asked as she clung to
       mozzy’s arm a little.
       —fin—
       Eli emerged from his blanket shield after he felt his body
       enclosed in different clothes and rolled out of the bed to fix
       his messy bed hair.
       "These are cool clothes," he said checking himself out a bit,
       feeling a bit odd wearing clothes without holes in them. "Thanks
       Mozzy,"
       Being so quickly teleported to a public space rather startled
       him and he moved to press against Mozzy and Levvy. "Fresh air is
       nice and all, but a little warning next time would be helpful,"
       he murmured.
       It took him a few minutes to settle down and realize that both
       of them had mentioned a coffee shop. "I know the one you're
       talking about. The people there are super nice. They give me the
       extras from people's smoothies and all the day old food at the
       end of the night. It's not one of those soulless big companies,"
       he added glancing down at Levvy.
       "They have the best lemon blueberry bars in the world!" He said
       with a grin.
       --fin--
       "Right right, yes, sorry, I don't usually travel with others, I
       will have to get used to that. I'm glad you like the clothes,
       yeah, sounds like the place. We can go fetch your things and
       then I can treat you two to a breakfast date," he mused, putting
       an arm around each, pulling them close with a nice big friendly
       smile.
       "Hope you can find your way to your things from here, I didn't
       want to being you back to where I found you," he mentioned.
       -fin-
       The wolfkin made a grin.”that makes me excited! I’d totally love
       to go.” She said as she heard Mozzy say date.”be best if it was-
       last thing we need is popping up in an awkward way.” she said to
       chuckle. “Should we get your things first or food?” She asked
       beast as she looked at him.
       —fin—
       "well hopefully you'll get used to it soon enough," Eli replied
       with a shy smile. His face flushed a bit at Mozzy calling it a
       date and sliding an arm around him.
       "Foods closer, let's grab that first," he suggested as his
       stomach grumbled loudly in agreement.
       Eli ducked his head a bit, feeling more than a little shy about
       the pda and other people staring at  them as they made their way
       to the coffee shop.
       "Hey Mr. Smithers! I brought some friends with me today!" He
       greeted the owner once they entered.
       The kind faced older man smiled and waved the trio over to the
       counter. "You're looking good Eli, who are your friends? What
       can I get for you?" He asked.
       "This is Mozzy and Levvy. Umm..." He paused to look at Levvy and
       Mozzy realizing he didn't have money to pay for anything. "What
       do you both want?"
       ,--fin--
       At the consensus of the food being closer, Mozzy happily walked
       the pair to the coffee shop. He gave a bright smile at the
       kindly old man. "Pleasure to meet you sir! I'll be covering
       whatever these two want," he mused and he looked at the menu for
       a moment before ordering several finds to try along with several
       of the lemon blueberry bars Eli had mentioned.
       "I'll have a caramel latte as well," he added before looking to
       his companions for them toplace their order as he pulled his
       wallet out, pulling out a few bills that more than covered
       anything they all ordered.
       -fin-
       Levvy came inside as she heard the name of the older man. She
       flushed  a little.”I don’t mind a coffee and those lemon bar
       things.” She said softly. “With chocolate in it too.” She said
       and smiled kindly to Smithers.
       Once she got her drink watched as Mozzy paid for
       them.”definitely coming here for my morning coffee now.” She
       said with a smile after trying her coffee. She took a bar to
       snack on it a little as her tail moved.”so good!” She marveled
       with a smile.
       —fin—
       Eli relaxed a bit at Mozzy offering to pay for what he and Levvy
       wanted. Once the others ordered, Eli asked for a half hot
       chocolate, half cappuccino drink and one of the breakfast
       sandwiches off the menu.
       Smithers smiled and got their orders to his workers and then
       brought everything over to the table they chose.
       Eli happily sipped on his drink, watching the other two enjoying
       their drinks and treats. "It really is the best place ever." He
       agreed happily, his own cat tail slipping out to sway happily.
       "Well I'll look forwards to seeing more of you and your friends
       Eli. I'm glad to see you doing so well. Try and be safe out
       there kiddo,"
       Eli gave a nod as he swallowed a bite of food. "I will. Thanks
       again, Mr. Smithers," he said gratefully.
       Once they were left alone, Eli couldn't help but look over Levvy
       and Mozzy a bit as he feasted on his meal.
       He was a bit at odds at having feelings for both of them. He'd
       never had any type of relationship before, nor had he really
       been taught or heard of people being attracted to both genders
       before. He couldn't help but feel like he was an oddity.
       "So, is your dad gonna be worried about you being out all night
       Levvy? I mean, that's what a normal parent would do.. right?"
       -fin-
       Soon the food was ordered, paid for and the trio was seated with
       their meal, Mozzy gladly digging in and looking to Levvy at
       Eli's question. "Most parents I would think so, I never knew
       mine so I don't exactly have first hand experience." He mused as
       he took a nice big bite of his food.
       -fin-
       Levvy was drinking her coffee till Eli spoke of her father to
       swallow a little too hard to cough before grabbing her phone.
       Thankfully the only thing that didn’t get affected.”oh no… 20
       phone calls..” she mumbled.she quickly dialed up.”dad I’m sorry
       I fell asleep!!” She said as she heard the man asking where she
       was at.”I ended up at the coffee shop- swear I didn’t mean..
       yes.. I am safe.. I’ll see you in a little.. I’m on a better
       date.. yes.. love you too…” she said to take a breath and hang
       up.”sorry.. “ she said as she took another square to nibble on
       it.
       —fin—
       Eli wasn't all that surprised by Mozzy's not knowing his
       parents. That was rather normal in his life. Though it sounded
       like Levvy's father was more involved especially since he'd
       tried calling her over 20 times.
       His ears pricked at what she said into the phone, his face going
       a bit pink when she mentioned bring on a better date.
       He blinked, looking between Mozzy and Levvy, his mouth open in
       shock. "Wait...aren't we just hanging out? This isn't really a
       date..is it?" He asked his hand still frozen with one of the
       lemon blue Berry squares in it.
       He glanced down, an odd mix of fluster and shock on his face.
       "I've..never been on a date before," he admitted and brushed his
       hair into his face as if trying to hide.
       --fin--
       A smirk formed on Mozzy's lips when he heard Levvy call this a
       date as well, a chuckle leaving him at Eli's question of this
       was in fact a date and seeming bashful about his lack of
       experience. "It's only a date if you want it to be, I want it to
       be and Levvy seems to want it to be, but do *you* want it to be?
       Date, hang out, why can't it be both?" He mused flirtatiously.
       -fin-
       Levvy chuckled a bit”I agree it can be both!” She said with a
       smile.”course you and I never kissed.. could change that.” She
       said as her finger went to her mouth a little to smirk.
       —fin—
       Eli's eyes shifted between the two, taking in the flirty smirk
       on Mozzy's face as he said it could be whatever he wanted. Then
       to Levvy as she chuckled and smiled brightly saying she agreed,
       then mentioned that he had yet to kiss her. This had a bright
       flush of pink break over his face at the thought of kissing her
       in a public setting. "Maybe..later? Somewhere a bit more
       private.." He suggested, feeling his face get hotter by the
       moment.
       His ears pricked at the sound of the coffee shop door opening
       and glanced to it, and froze at the sight of the huge white
       haired guy that strode in. His mouth went a bit dry and he
       dropped the lemon bar onto the table as he froze. He then slide
       down in his seat,  turning his face into Mozzy's arm.
       "That..that guy..I saw him take a friend of mine. Don't let him
       see me," He murmured,  letting out a frightened whimper.
       ---picks up in a start of a new threat--
