<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Open Sans">Eivind could when Blue had enough, but he wasn't sure what he'd was going to do about it. They could just leave, he knew, and the longer things went on Eivind was starting to think that would be the best option. He could only see it getting uglier from there, and maybe that would be the case, but at least Blue was doing the talking now, telling his parents how he really felt. Most of it needed to be said, perhaps not right then, but it was obviously and issue that the family needed to work through if they were going to set aside hard feelings. Blue rounded back and pointed out that things that were really not so different between his parents and then, but Louis only laughed and asked Blue if he felt he was mature enough to get married. It was clear his father's opinion on the matter, and Eivind could only watch the exchange until words were sent scalding in his direction, and he didn't really know what he'd been insinuating until Blue spoke up.<br/>
<br/>
Blue was angry, and he sounded too satisfied with himself when he got to throw that little tidbit of information back into his father's face. Eivind went rigid, unsure how Louis was going to act once it was made perfectly clear that marriage could wait, since he was already fucking Blue. It took a conscious effort for Eivind not to stand during the uncomfortable silence. The anger from the older man was palpable, and he was trying to decide where his line was, and what he'd do if the older man threw himself at him. A fight would have already broken out among wolves, and he decided he'd draw the line at Louis turning his anger onto Blue.<br/>
<br/>
Blue's sisters were sent out, and Louis leaned forward to stare at Eivind. He wasn't sure how much longer he was going to without his anger without some sort of outburst, and Eivind was spring loaded for it. Of course, these were humans. They did things that he wasn't used to, but Eivind was trying. He wasn't going to give them any more excuse for them not to like them. Perhaps in the future, if he kept civil, they come around to him at least enough that they didn't think Blue was making a mistake with him. Louis, instead of letting that anger manifest asked Eivind if he was prepared to deal with all the hard things that came with Blue. Eivind hardly blinked, staring back at the other man. Luckily, he and Blue had already touched on these topics.<br/>
<br/>
“I like to work, and committing to extra contracts to make sure Blue gets to finish is something I've already considered.” It wasn't Blue's fault that his life had been turned upside down by a pack of wolves. Eivind didn't want him to worry over experiences he felt he lost due to that period of it life, since his father wasn't going to agree to pay for his schooling any longer. He didn't want him to be punished over something he had no control over.<br/>
<br/>
“I don't want him to worry at all.” It was just money that could be replaced. That investment and a year of supporting Blue was nothing when looking at the bigger picture. Blue was his mate. They'd have a lifetime together. “Jobs will come to him in the future, once he finishes, or he can help me work on side projects when he has the time.” He was sure he could use Blue for something. It would be rough, especially with the beating his savings had recently taken, but they could make it work.<br/>
<br/>
“Blue's temper and stubbornness isn't something that puts me off, either. We've managed this far, and I've gotten a taste, I can assure you that, but here I am still, trying to explain to you that I'm <i>devoted</i> to your son. It seems to me as if you'd prefer me to abandon him.” Things had been hard, and Eivind had been there with Blue since he'd found him. Of course, he couldn't explain how hard it had gotten, but Eivind knew how he felt for Blue.<br/>
<br/>
“Blue is exactly what I've been looking for my entire life. We fit one another; our personalities, our lifestyles.” <i>Their bodies</i>. “This isn't a passing fling. I'll be around for as long as Blue will still have me. You're wrong about me being a distraction, but you'll learn, with time.” Eivind had settled back in the sofa, but he was still staring at the other man. He didn't expect him to believe him. He couldn't. Humans were dull in their senses. Even if they did mate up like wolves, he wasn't sure they'd be capable of finding one another. Eivind wasn't so blind.</span></span>
