Vincent was all talk when it came to dealing with Eivind. The other male was much shorter and leaner than he was, but Vincent was convinced the man was a fucking psychopath, and everyone knew that crazy always beat out brute strength. When Eivind growled his warning, Vincent instinctively took a step back, not wanting to get his ass handed to him a second time. He loved the way Blue's parents had simply stomped right in to retrieve their son, and even better, it looked as if they had interrupted something between Eivind and Blue. This was definitively confirmed when Blue rushed up, looking like he was ready to tear out Vincent's eyes from their sockets while wearing nothing but a pair of sexy, translucent briefs.<br/><br/>"Damn, Blue," Vincent chuckled, momentarily forgetting about the snarling older male as he stared hard at Blue's body. The sight of Blue's partially erect cock, tucked underneath the nice-looking fabric, aroused the blonde man momentarily. He didn't give a shit that Blue was yelling in his face. He stared for a moment before Blue hissed and quickly looked to his boyfriend. When Blue stomped away, Vincent took ample opportunity to peer past Eivind's shoulder so he could get a good look at Blue's ass.<br/><br/>The young male grumbled as he acquiesced to his mate's will, hastily pulling on the jeans Eivind had removed just a short while ago. He didn't bother with a shirt, not thinking, but it didn't matter. It was too late. Katherine had already seen Blue's battered body and had directed Louis' attention to it, and now Papa was stepping up to Eivind, pointing his finger in the wolf's face and accusing him of something he had absolutely nothing to do with.<br/><br/>Blue's face went white as fresh snow as he rushed back to his mate, shoving himself between Eivind and Papa. "No, Papa, it's not like that," Blue began, but Eivind had already begun to counter Louis' unfair accusations and the expression on Blue's face fell even further. "Eivind, stop!" Blue hissed, but the words had already left the wolf's mouth, and now Papa and Mom were staring, their eyes hard and searching their son's face for some kind of clue as to what the fuck was going on. Nothing Eivind was saying was making any sense to them, and they wanted answers.<i>Now.<br/>
</i><br/>"Blue?" Katherine said gently, her voice stern, but curious. The young man sighed, his shoulders sagging. There was nothing he could do. His anger at Vincent had caused him to reveal himself to his parents, the one thing he had never wanted to do. He couldn't tell them about werewolves--that would still be too fantastical for them to believe, he knew--but he could get as close to the truth as possible without outing Eivind's kind completely. It was the only thing he could think to do to keep his father and boyfriend from throwing their fists at one another.<br/><br/>"Eivind's telling the truth."<i>Part of it, anyway</i>. "I got myself into some trouble. After I came out to you guys, I ran off to the preserver, where we used to camp when we were kids. I wandered past the safety area, sneaked beyond all the warning sides, and I was attacked by a wolf."<br/><br/>Katherine gasped, bringing her hand up to her face, her eyes like saucers. "A wolf?" she whispered, her gentle voice muffled by her long, thin fingers.<br/><br/>"These marks? They're all teeth marks," Blue continued, turning to the side to show his parents his rib cage more fully. "I was attacked, but Eivind saved me. We... we didn't lie about his work. He owns a lumber company. They mill, and he has smaller companies as well that does contracting and builds furniture. You can even look it up if you don't believe me, under Eivind's family name. Anyway, because of the milling, he lives out in the words. He happened to be close, and he scared away the wolf and took me home. He... he saved my life."<br/><br/>Blue was chewing on his lower lip, wringing his hands together as the nerves ate away at his heaving chest. "He... he got me help. Antibiotics and pain medication. He cleaned and took care of my wounds. He took me to see a doctor!" Blue rushed to get the paperwork, sitting resting on the table. "See? These are the receipts from my appointments." Blue shoved the paperwork into his father's hands.<br/><br/>"He took care me of me. Eivind never left my side. If I had asked to come back, Eivind would have brought in me a second, but I was weak, and scared, and Eivind let me stay with him. At some point, we just.... I just... "<br/><br/>"What, Blue?" Louis asked, his left eyebrow cocked in interest as he peered at the papers Blue had given him.<br/><br/>"I love him," Blue spit out. Neither of his parents seemed to react to this, they only stared. "If he asked me to marry him now, I would. You said I wasn't ready, and maybe I'm not completely, but Eivind and I work together. We already started making a plan for how to get me to go back to school. We're talking about where we should live, and how I can make extra money for both of us by selling my artwork. This isn't just a passing fling. We're serious. I'm not leaving him."<br/><br/>There was a long, pregnant pause after Blue finished. His parents seemed to be simultaneously kneading the information Blue had given them in their minds, but by the looks on their faces, Blue could see they still weren't completely convinced.<br/><br/>"That's all really adorable and sickening sweet," Vincent drawled, bored by the lack of physicality this evening, "but you have failed to address the fact that your knight in shining armor is fucking insane. Sweet guys don't beat random strangers for talking to their precious little boy toys."<br/><br/>"Oh, fuck you, you asshole!" Blue snapped, twisting back onto Vincent and lunging toward him.<br/><br/>"Blue!" Louis' booming voice stopped the young man in his tracks, leaving him frozen. "Enough. Even if everything you say is true, you're still too young for this. All of this. Your mother and I want you home. Get your things."<br/><br/>"Papa!"<br/><br/>"Fais le! Je ne me répéterai pas!"<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
