<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Open Sans">“Don't act so surprised. At one point you chewed my ass out for not paying attention to you better. I learned my lesson. Your art obviously means something to you, and if you can figure out how to make money with it in the future, even better.” Eivind was sure he'd make it up to him in the future, but for now, it didn't matter to him that he was helping carry them through this period in their life together. There were a great deal more important things than money. If something happened to him and he wasn't mated, it would default to the pack. That had been what he expected to happen to a good portion of it anyway, but with Blue, it made him want and need more out of life.<br/>
<br/>
Eivind <i>was </i>asking Blue how best to present himself when it came to meeting his family. Most likely his tastes were too simple, and he had primarily old jeans. They could kill two birds with one stone. He probably needed new clothing anyway. Eivind didn't particularly enjoy shopping, and so the least amount of effort he had to put in, the better. He'd put his foot down with some things, but mostly clothing was just clothing. It meant little to him, especially when he was naked most of the time anyway. They exchanged banter about meeting Blue's parents, but it was a real concern for both of them. Mostly, Eivind worried about how Blue would feel about all of it. He'd felt compelled to distance himself once, and he knew he missed his family. Likely all Blue wanted to do was reestablish that connection. Hopefully they would let him.<br/>
<br/>
“You're only saying that because I've dragged you around the forest since we met. I've lowered your standards so that I look better,” Eivind teased again, his tone self-depreciating.<br/>
<br/>
“You've done plenty for me.” For a man like Eivind, who'd often times felt incredibly unfulfilled, Blue brought him a sense of purpose. His hands went to Blue's hips as he climbed into his lap. He could feel Blue's sleek cock pressing against him, and his erection hadn't waned since Blue had started to undress.<br/>
<br/>
“Fuck, Blue,” Eivind grumbled. Perhaps he'd have counted it as a punishment for being hasty before, but why should Blue have to suffer? He shifted their hips and lined himself up with Blue's cock, and then guided the young man's wrist down to them, to wrap his long fingers around them both. They weren't going to get any sleep at that rate, and likely Blue would just jack off anyway. Which may or may not be safe with an unsatisfied werewolf sharing his space, so Eivind decided compromise was in order.<br/>
<br/>
“Go easy,” Eivind told him, mostly worried about his breathing as he worked them both up. Blue's hand was soft and smooth. They certainly felt better than his own, and he could feel his lover's cock pressed up against his own. He lavished attention onto Blue's mouth, kissing and nipping, groaning.<br/>
<br/>
“I want to be inside you so badly,” Eivind told him when they parted for a moment, but for now he called upon the memory of their bodies coming together, melding to one. After Blue masturbated them both to completion, it was time to get out of the bathtub, especially since it had cooled since they'd spent so much time it in. With that need out of the way, Eivind could at least focus again on other things; his ravenous stomach for one.<br/>
<br/>
They decided on a local Italian place. Eivind wanted something different to break up what their meals had consisted of as of late, but he wasn't terribly specific. He opted for a meat-heavy pizza, and some pasta; he didn't care what kind. It was all pretty much the same to him. He encouraged Blue to order what he wanted as well, and he encouraged him to order in excess. They needed to indulge, and Eivind hoped a variety would get Blue to eat more. They could snack on leftovers if there were any.<br/>
<br/>
The delivery driver brought it up to them, likely surprised it was only a meal for two. Eivind paid, tipped, and then carried the bags, and pizza box inside. Instead of setting them on the table and eating there like civilized creatures, Eivind set everything down on the bed and indulged there with Blue instead. His lover encouraged him to try a little bit of everything, rather just let him wolf down something until he was stuffed. It was apparent Eivind wasn't eating for taste a lot of the time, and slowing down helped him to enjoy it all more. Especially flavors he didn't usually have a chance to experience, due to him being such a man of habit.<br/>
<br/>
They went to bed happy, and sated, the handjob in the shower enough to take the edge off. With things to be done in the morning, and breakfast to lure Eivind downstairs, they dressed and started their day. Eivind ate plenty there too, stacking a plate full of breakfast meats, eggs, pancakes, and biscuits. No syrup and he ate it all pretty much together. The meats were all saltier than what he was used to, but he cut it with the milder flavors of things.<br/>
<br/>
“You said that there was a mall?” Eivind clarified, sitting across from Blue in the dining area to the hotel. They'd had to put their clothing back on from yesterday, and people went about their morning, leaving the couple to mostly sitting against the window by themselves. Some people were brave enough to be swimming outside, but it occurred to him the pool had to be heated. Humans were far too sensitive to be swimming otherwise unless of course they were Blue, forced to brave cold rivers.<br/>
<br/>
“We should probably do that first, in case we grab food that may spoil.”</span></span>
