Cain had been a little on edge lately. He'd carried on like normal, because he was ashamed for suspecting her, but there was a black hole in his stomach. Haley had been painfully mysterious about why she'd not shown up. It had been the only thing ever to be muddled between them, and he'd obsessed over it when he was alone. Today most of that had passed. He'd woken up with an overwhelming lightness. Haley wouldn't do anything to hurt him. She wouldn't willingly hurt anyone. But all that calm had been swallowed up by the returning black hole when he saw the darkly dressed boy.<br/><br/>He nodded along to what she said. It was fully plausible. In fact, the way Keida lived his life, it was strange this hadn't happened sooner. But Cain remembered her sounds on the phone, and the diffuse reality of the date that never happened. "If you need help with him you just tell me." he said with a smile that suggested he was apologizing for Keida's behavior. Eventually Cain stood alone, listening to her light steps up the stairs. He went to look down at Keida's plate. Half eaten. Foreign malice took over him, and he took the food to the sink and opened the door to the trash. He poured it all off. Why did it feel so good? Cain touched his cheek where she'd kissed him. He laughed, breathless to himself. She wouldn't.<br/><br/>Keida was waiting by the lightswitch close to the doorframe, which meant she passed him on her way in. He closed the door and grabbed her. "Hey, baby." he said and lifted her up to sit on the counter. He was always placing her on things. Keida kissed her violently, with a reckless passion. It was owed him, promised him, after all. His hands were all over her, the places he'd learned she liked, gentle but tough, and then started pushing up her skirt and tugging at her panties. "Just a short one. Just let me feel like someone cares and I'll leave." he mumbled into their lips.<br/><br/>he might not be such a stellar student in school, but he'd learned her well. Drunk Keida had an if possible more fluent touch. He wanted to overwhelm her with her own sensations, drown her in what he'd discovered was her favorites. It was all she cared about in one offer - his body and his secrecy.
