"A hotel?" They were walking out to Eivind's truck, and with the limited amount of pain meds Blue had been provided with, he was moving much more naturally and freely than he had prior to the hospital visit. "Are you sure? Eivind, I don't even want to think about how much that visit to the emergency room cost, and with a host and my doctor's visits . . . I don't know. This is all so much." But Eivind didn't seem to want to hear Blue's objections, and as the young man wasn't too excited about the idea of returning to the pack so soon, he gave in to the wolf's will rather easily, with only the smallest of disagreements and grumbling.<br/><br/>"No, no camping," Blue managed, smiling at Eivind despite himself, weaving his fingers with the wolf's as they climbed into the front seats, with Sig throwing himself into the back. "If it's all right with you, I don't think I'll be in the mood to hike for a long time. A very, very, very long time."<br/><br/>The hotel room was more spacious than Blue would have expected, and he sat down on the edge of the large bed; it was big enough for all three males to comfortably lay in if they so wished. "Yes, yes, this is more than enough. Thank you. Both of you."<br/><br/>When Sig let it be known that he wasn't staying, Blue couldn't exactly say he was surprised. "Of course, you're always on the move, aren't you?" He shook his head and watched as Sig made his way into the bathroom, gently closing the door behind him, but not all the way. Blue could see a sliver of the small wolf as he stripped off the clothes he had gotten from . . . somewhere . . . but he turned his head away, blushing slightly. He had already seen Sig naked, but there was something awfully improper about watching another person strip, regardless of whether they knew anyone was watching or not, and Blue didn't want to be impolite, especially after all the help he had provided him and his mate.<br/><br/>"Eivind?" he said, directing his attention to his lover and waving for him to come sit down next to him on the bed. "On the drive over here, I noticed something. I recognized some of the street names as we approached, and I know where we are." He inhaled deeply, his nerves starting to ignite as the words fought to leave his mouth. "I, uh, my family . . . they live on a few miles away from here, Eivind. I was thinking that maybe I could, you know, visit them? Tell them I'm alive? They haven't seen me in months. They probably think I'm dead, Eivind. But I can go back. We're so close. I can go back and see them again. I can see my sisters again."<br/><br/>The sound of the shower was distracting to Blue, but he tried as hard as he could to focus on the wolf sitting next to him, on the smooth lines of his face and his sharp, masculine features. He leaned against Eivind now, resting his head against his shoulder and lightly kissing at the older male's neck. "I honestly didn't think it was possible. With Lofgren, and then Sieger, I thought I'd never have the opportunity to tell them I'm okay. I'd get it if you don't want to come with me, but I want you to, Vin. I think my family should meet the man that saved my life. I know it's a lot to ask. And if you don't want to come, I won't argue with you. But I have to see them, Eivind. I hope you understand."<br/><br/>The shower stopped. He could hear Sig moving around in the bathroom, finishing up his freshening up routine before exiting. Blue said good bye to the wolf and told him he hoped Sig came back soon. He was always welcome. When Sig left, the heavy hotel door clicked and locked behind him, and he and Eivind were left alone. Blue stood from the bed and grinned at Eivind. He slowly began taking off his clothes; first his shirt, up and over his head and tossed carelessly onto the hotel room carpet. "I know you think I'm fragile and everything because I just got out of the hospital, but I promise you, I'm feeling much better." His pants next, carefully unbuttoning, unzipping, down his narrow hips along with his boxers until they were at his feet. He carefully stepped out of them and stretched his long nude body, sidling up to Eivind and carefully pushing himself in between the sitting man's legs.<br/><br/>"I was thinking, since we're all alone and I'm not currently dying, perhaps you'd want to kiss me?" He ran his hands through Eivind's hair and let them fall to the man's shoulders. His fingers danced along his partner's neck playfully, teasingly. The last few days and been very long and very difficult for both of them, and he was missing his wolf's tender touch.
