<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Open Sans">Sig was just as happy to see Blue, even the bigger male who didn't outwardly show his emotions towards him. He'd let him in, of course, and was letting him sit in the bed with his scantily clothed mate without snarling, so he figured that had to mean something. The two had obviously made progress in their relationship from when he first found them. Eivind seemed more secure, and Blue more satisfied. Of course, actually claiming one another probably had a great deal to do with it.<br/>
<br/>
“I don't ever want to impose,” he returned, though he was mostly looking to the other male in askance. He didn't think Blue would mind so much if he stuck around. Blue called Eivind over, and somehow all three managed to end up on the bed without encroaching too much on each others space. He figured that probably had a lot to do with how Blue and Eivind were practically sharing the <i>same</i> space. It was naturally for wolves to be more touchy and open with one another, or and this case, a human and wolf, and it didn't bother him in the slightest. It by no means made him uncomfortable, and Eivind would likely understand that more than Blue. Sig shifted so that he was on his stomach, feet dangling off the bed until he kicked his shoes off.<br/>
<br/>
Blue started in with his question. Sig stared for a moment, and then burst into a fit of laughter.<br/>
<br/>
“Unfortunately not all of us are gifted with a big knot,” Sig stated, patting Eivind's thigh as he looked at Blue knowingly. Eivind ignored it. “Usually it's the more dominant, aggressive males that knot. I've always said they just have more ambitious cocks. Mine is a little more agreeable.” It was clear he wasn't insecure about it, having no problem poking a little fun at his own lackings.<br/>
<br/>
“It's convenient for me, otherwise it might be more noticeable and I suppose I would have a lot more explaining to do.” Sig raised his brow as he thought about what all Blue seemed curious about.<br/>
<br/>
“Are you trying to figure out how to fuck in less private places? If you fuck a lot, and I mean, a lot, his knot will ease quicker. Deplete his reserves, so to speak. Exhaust him a little.” Sig was smirking at Eivind. “Or, like you were thinking, don't let him knot you. You can still take you own pleasure. The benefit of having a mate. You can be a little selfish sometimes, because you know you'll make it up to them later.” He had no problem speaking openly about this, even with the both of them. Maybe Eivind would even learn a thing or two.<br/>
<br/>
“Don't put ideas into his head. He's already enough of a tease,” Eivind grumbled, playfully pinching Blue.<br/>
<br/>
Blue was a little distracted, and Eivind could tell. Sig wasn't blind either, but they didn't say anything, and eventually Blue supplied what was on his mind. He was watching Eivind's face, and the bigger wolf was frowning slightly.<br/>
<br/>
“Ahh, no need to be nervous, friend. You're a good fellow, deep down, no matter if you look like a lumberjack serial killer.” Sig was grinning, hoping the lighten the mood. It didn't seem to help. Eivind seemed to be contemplating his options; stalling.<br/>
<br/>
“Do you think we could wait until tomorrow?” Eivind asked. “I'll make it up to you. I promise.” He just didn't exactly know how. He'd had enough scolding today from the doctor without getting it from Blue's parents as well. “I won't stall tomorrow, and I'll put on my best face to meet them.” Promises words of good behavior when encountering Blue's 'pack'. Blue agreed, a little sulkily, and that made Eivind feel worse. When he had a chance to speak with Sig alone, he looked to him.<br/>
<br/>
“I should.. take him somewhere? I don't know how humans date,” Eivind admitted.<br/>
<br/>
“Yes, you big dolt.”<br/>
<br/>
Sig was there to assist, smiling fondly at the inept wolf. He was sneaky when he helped Eivind get late reservations at a nice steakhouse downtown, something he figured that both would enjoy. Sig made up some excuse to head out, and Eivind lured Blue into the shower, though it took some coaxing.<br/>
<br/>
“It's a good thing we got some nice clothes. I'm taking you somewhere. You should probably get dressed. We don't want to be late,” Eivind said, once they were getting out to dry off. Their reservations were at eight pm, so plenty of time to get ready and be on time for a later, more romantic shared meal than delivery in bed. He was grinning, having let Blue pout for a time. Eivind cleaned up a little, trimming up his beard so that he looked less like a <i>lumberjack serial killer</i>. He wore one of the finer outfits Blue had picked out for them, hoping that the black jeans wouldn't be too casual. Sig had helped them pick the place going based off information Eivind had supplied him. Big meaty portions, ambiance, fine wine, and music. Sig was sure Eivind knew how to act civil, he just needed a chance to show it.<br/>
<br/>
After they'd gotten dressed, Eivind drove them to Christner's steakhouse, where they have a private little table for two set aside for them farther away from the busier section of the restaurant. Truly, Eivind wanted to spoil Blue in any way that he could, and he hoped that this was enough to take his mind of the stresses of his family. A pianist was playing in the far corner, not so loud as to be bothersome.<br/>
<br/>
“Sig helped me pick it out,” he admitted, knowing that he wouldn't have known the first thing about taking his lover on a real, proper date. They were led by a doting little hostess to their seats where wine menus were provided for them, and glasses of chilled water filled. Not that Eivind knew the first thing about wine, and he admitted as much to Blue.<br/>
<br/>
"I figured we could get back to getting to know more about one another," Eivind said, smiling as he reached to put his hand over Blue's. "When we're alone, and you're not hurting in some way, it usually leads to sex. And maybe this night will." He was always hopeful. "But I still want to do this right. I want you in other ways, as well." He didn't want to act a fool in front of Blue's parents, like his intentions with their son were misguided. He was sure there were things he still didn't know about Blue, and things Blue didn't know about him. "There are probably things we still aught to know about one another if your parents are going to take me seriously at all." And it was clear by his expression that he was earnest in his affections towards Blue, if the young man didn't realize it already.</span></span>
