<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">Victoria's discomfort was palpable, causing Cyrus to glance her way every now and again. Finally asking how she was doing when they finally got a quick moment of peace. His smile soft as she pretty much told him not to let go of her hand. "Well, I don't plan on letting go of you anytime soon so I think we're good." And because he could he grabbed his mates chin, leaning down to kiss her softly. The kiss lingering before he eventually pulled away, his chuckle low she as admitted to needing a change of scenery. The pack run was actually the one thing he was genuinely looking forward to. "You and me both, love." Cyrus had never been one for pet names, <i>ever</i>. If anything he'd been annoyed by those ridiculous couples who just didn't seem to understand that some people could have gone their whole life without being forced to witness their starry eyed displays of affection. <br/>
<br/>
But then Victoria came along and his whole perception changed.Suddenly, he was disgustingly and hopelessly in love. He'd turned into one of those people he'd made fun of as a teenager. Of course he'd grumbled about this endlessly to Preston in the beginning. But of course his Beta had no sympathy for his plight and Cyrus was surprised the man hadn't just walked out when he started in on one of his endless ramblings: Victoria this, Victoria that. <i>'Hey did you know Vicky...'</i> and on and on. Thinking back on it now, he wanted to go back in time and stuff a sock in his mouth to shut himself up. <br/>
<br/>
Cy let out a pleased moan as he occupied his mouth with a handful of mini meat pies. His ever observant grey-green gaze drifting over the surrounding party-goers, spotting the unmistakable red hair of Saoirse. The girl was an amazing cook but she was sorely lacking came when it came to socializing. The living embodiment of awkward. The girl needed friends, people who could pull her from her shell. His two  most likely candidates were Jaymus or Victoria. But they were soon going to be busy with their own things and he held off on making the suggestion on the chance that they might feel obligated to do it.<br/>
<br/>
Speaking of the Gamma, Cyrus easily spotted both him and Preston at the desserts table. Cy raising a dark brow as he watched the shorter male snatch up as many cookies as his hands could carry. Not a big fan of sweets of himself, he just didn't understand all the hype. <br/>
<br/>
His smile was amused as he noticed the look on his Beta's face as he stared at his mate. Anyone with a working pair of eyes could see the man was smitten. Cyrus had had a field day when Preston discovered Jaymus was his mate. Just managing to quell his laughter enough to get out, "So it's true that opposites <i>do</i> attract. Jaymus is a walking ball of hyper and you're..." he'd waved his hand at his Beta trying to find the words to describe the man, "...well, you're <i>You</i>." No doubt he was happy for the both of them. Though he did feel somewhat bad for his closest friend given that his mate wasn't all that keen on the two of them settling down just yet. Cy didn't know he would have handled it if Vicky had wanted to take it slow.</span>
