Zoruna<br/><br/>Brian looked at her and nuzzled her lightly. "Nope. I can't get sweeter because then I'd have trouble eating because you'd be so sweet I'd get cavities." He said playfully. "I have perfect teeth right now. "He nuzzled her a bit. Watching her pull back and contemplated this. "Mmmm...kinky. Do you plan to bathe me in it everywhere? If so I think it sounds like a delicious idea." He nibbled on her earlobe. "If it makes you happy you can bathe me in as much chocolate as you want love."<br/><br/>Vince turned bright pink as he listened to Brian and Elizabeth's conversation. However his attention soon turned back to Aki. His eyes went wide and his whole form turned a dark red hue when Aki took his fingertips into his mouth. "I'm not yummy. You are supposed to eat the chocolate not me." He said in a shyly cried out comment. He looked at him. "You should take nutrition shakes with you for times you most likely won't be able to stop to eat. Its what I did when I would have to go to school and then go straight to work. The chocolate ones are awesome." He said with a smile. He smiled at him.<br/><br/>Chris looked at him. "Glad you like it. However, I still think I should get more lessons from Elizabeth when she and Brivariith aren't busy devouring each other." He said with a smirk. He made a face at what Aki said and did next. "Really? Really? You really just went there Aki?" He sighed in exasperation.<br/><br/>Brivariith looked at Aki when he heard him talking to him. "Hmm?? Oh..." He said. His mind processing what had been said. "Yes. Yes. I think that is a wonderful idea. I believe we should give fate a helping hand. Seems like the only way to get him with someone is to play matchmaker. I say we get to it soon. Elizabeth can even help. Though on that other note...there is never a time I am not somewhere in my mind thinking of my beloved Akihiko." He said. Burying his face in Elizabeth's hair and inhaling her scent.<br/><br/>Chris made a face again. "I don't want to." He said in a huff. Seriously? They were going to blind date him? Gah! That was not cool. Mostly because he knew they'd tag team him in a way he wouldn't see coming. Sighing a bit. Then looked at him. "Yes. Devin." He blinked for a moment. "Uh...you don't remember texting Reno and them telling them not to let him come to the apartment that he was in town?" He shrugged a bit. "Well same old thing Aki. Also...you did. He thinks you need him. He thinks you want him. thinks you can't live without him. Apparently he thought you offed me and was quite surprised to see me enter the office. He was quite upset that you weren't coming. Oh and uh..." He closed his eyes. "He threw himself through your office windows. Thankfully he didn't hurt any of the patrons while being all pissed I beat the shit out of him." He opened his eyes. "On another note you should really watch the video your little sister took. I think my favorite part will be the unraveling and resulting effect of her booby trap she did to your office to protect it from people like Devin." He frowned a moment later. "I just hope he doesn't find out about Vince and your interest in him. Who knows what your obsessed ex would do. Obsessed people are crazy." He huffed a bit.<br/><br/>Vince blinked and looked between Aki and Chris. "Who is Devin? Why do you both seem upset about him?" He looked at Aki.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Elizabeth grinned widely and leaned in close her lips barely touching Brian's and pushing her breasts into his chest. She whispered softly, "Oh it will be /everywhere/" She purred the last word then kissed Brian.<br/><br/>Aki chuckled at Vince's reactions, a wide full teeth smile on his face. "But what if I want to eat you?" He asked innocently. Aki leant back and let out a full belly laugh. "Brivariith! I meant to trip his chair! Not blind date!" He grinned impishly, "Though both can be arranged of course."<br/><br/>Elizabeth nuzzled Brian's collar bone as he buried his face in her hair. She closed her eyes and breathed. "And there isn't a moment I don't think of you, My Love."<br/><br/>Aki's face went blank at the events with Devin in the bar. His insurance mutt hated him and his window already. This is the fifteenth time he's had to replace it. He grinned, "I hope she got a good angle." He chuckled, but it stopped short at the threat of Devin. His arms were immediately around Vince, his eyes flashed red, and a deep guttural growl issued from his throat. Aki didn't register Vince's question, but he froze and made no sound.<br/><br/>Aki was immediately off Vince and in the bedroom in a second flat. 'Did I just ruin everything?' He wondered frozen in the bedroom. He had been left once because his face, glowing eyes, and a deep guttural growl. They said he was an untamed animal that should be locked up in a cage where he belonged. Aki closed his eyes and tried to breathe and calm down. It wasn't working well.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brivariith pulled her chest into him more when she pushed her breasts into his chest. Practically crushing her chest with his without doing it enough to hurt her. "mmmm..." He said. He could just imagine the fun they would have with that. Plus it would feel good her mouth and tongue everywhere. Especially in the places he really liked her mouth and tongue being. He kissed her back. THough he enjoyed hearing her words that she whispered to him. He looked at Aki. "Well tripping his chair isn't nearly as much fun. So I assumed we were talking about what I said." He said with a playful grin. He smirked and let his drakken tail out. The long snake like tail went to Chris's chair not far from them and tugged on it. Of course his large wings were out as well. He wrapped them like a screen around him and Elizabeth. Moving his hands and groped her breasts. Teasing her nipples with the pads of his thumbs. Then he changed back to fully human after Chris's chair dragged forwards and fell. "All done." He smirked.<br/><br/>Chris glared at Brivariith and Aki playfully. Though soon yelped as the chair jerked forwards and he went flying towards the ground. "Aaaaaaaaah! oof!" He groaned and got up. "Not cool guys. Not cool." He then burst into laughter. "I'm not going on a blind date." He said. Fixing the chair and didn't lean it again. He nodded his head. "Your little sister is a pro in the making with a camera. I'm certain she did."<br/><br/>Vince looked up at him. Blushing deeper red. "But I'm not edible." He said softly and shyly. He snickered a bit at what Brian said. He felt Aki's arms around him suddenly and looked up in confusion. He was in a secure hold and Aki's eyes just went red? He tilted his head to the side puzzledly. Hearing the deep guttural growl but didn't quite understand the whole conversation. Aki had seemed very protective right then. He looked to Chris who had sat up. He yelped when he was suddenly let go. Catching the table to keep from falling when the chair went off balance. He blinked and Aki was gone. What just happened? Was Aki okay? He got up and barely noticed the concerned look on Chris's face. He got up quickly and even though the sudden movement hurt he hurried off after Aki. He needed to make sure he was okay. He stood in the doorway. Looking at Aki then slowly went over to him. Getting on his knees and crawled the last couple of feet. Stopping and looked up into Aki's face. Trying not to upset the dragon Aki more. "Are you okay Aki?" He asked softly. His tone filled with worry and concern. Even his eyes were that way. He didn't move again though was on his knees angling his back and staying that way with his hand. His head tilted curiously to the side.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Elizabeth moaned, "If your going to play we are going down the hall... with the chocolate..." Elizabeth blinked out her fog when she heard Aki growl. She had turned right when he ran. She frowned.<br/><br/>Aki opened his eyes to half mast and stared unblinking. "... It's ironic you ask that when your the most vulnerable of us all. I could snap your neck like you break a pretzel. And you still want to be near me?" Aki gave a small condescending smile that rarely graced his face, mainly his thoughts, "Me. The untamed animal that belongs in a cage like the beast I am." Aki's eyes were not glowing the whole time. He closed his eyes and took a step back from Vince, "Go back to the other room... I'll be back once I calm." Aki turned his back to Vince and watched the shadows in the corner of the room not touched by the light from the den.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brivariith looked at her. "You almost sound like you are complaining." He teased lightly. Though his gaze shot to the bedroom. He too was frowning. Though he blinked when Vince took off running after him. He looked to Chris. "Should we go after him?"<br/><br/>Chris noticed the events. Looking to Brivariith. Shaking his head. "No. This is something they need to do alone. You both know as well as I do what Aki has been told before. He needs to hear it for himself by himself."<br/><br/>Brivariith nodded his head and cocooned Elizabeth in his arms and wings. Wrapping them around himself as well. He didn't like it but Chris was right.<br/><br/>Vince looked at him and tilted his head to the other side. Listening to him speak. Frowning a bit when he mentioned snapping his neck like a pretzel. "Good thing I'm not a pretzel then right?" He said with a smile. Trying to cheer Aki up. "Yet I know you wouldn't. You wouldn't hurt people you care about. Even if you only cared about them as a friend." He said softly. He nodded his head. "Of course I want to be near you. You are my friend. I like you. You protect those around you even when you are angry." He sat up and crossed his arms a bit. "You are not." He said seriously. No more smile. He didn't like the way Aki was talking about himself. Why would he talk about himself like that. He stood up and followed Aki. Slowly wrapping his arms around him. Holding onto him. "No." He said softly but stubbornly "You also don't need to talk about yourself like that. You are not an untamed animal. Whoever told you that needs to be beat over the head with a two by four and then again with the idiot stick." He said simply. The idiot stick was what his mom called an object she said was made just for idiots to let them know how stupid what they said or did was. He moved and was next to Aki looking at him. "You don't need a cage either. You aren't a beast. I mean yeah your a dragon but that doesn't make you an untamed animal that needs a cage. Do you really think that of yourself Aki? With all the good you do and all the people you help? How you care for women and children and protect them even if it means against yourself? How even when you are angry you separate yourself not to hurt people you care about? If you were really an untamed animal you would go rampaging around hurting anything and everyone around you. Whether you cared about them or not." He laid his head on him. "Besides...dad, Chris, gets glowing eyes and hisses all the time when he is angry or protective. That doesn't make him an untamed animal does it? So why should glowing eyes and growling make you an untamed animal? It doesn't. Everyone has a different way they show anger or protectiveness. Like when I'm angry I withdraw. I won't talk to anyone at all until I calm down. I isolate too. I don't get angry often but everyone shows angers or shows protectiveness differently. Of course dragons and vampires will have more obvious ways that people can know they are angry or protective but that doesn't make them monsters who need cages." He looked up at him his chest laying on Aki's chest as he moved to hugging Aki with his chest at his side. "You can't let what mean or stupid people say affect who you know deep down you are. My mother told me that. It is true and she also told me if someone says something mean and stupid to you that you just imagine hitting them with the idiot stick." He hugged him tighter. "You don't let what cruel people say batter down what you know is really the truth." He looked up at him "So yeah...no matter what I still want to be near you. I trust you not to snap me like a pretzel no matter how angry you are. Whether its with me or someone else. I don't think you are an untamed animal and I certainly don't think you need to be in a cage. Whoever told you those things need to be in a cage. They are the ones who are the beasts." He fell silent after that. Trying to make Aki feel better.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki turned and crushed Vince to his chest with his face buried in Vince's hair. "I... I was told that everyday for every hour by someone close... It's burned in my mind like a beacon... I'm sorry..." Aki let his wings out, his shirt bunched up at the point between the wing joint and back. His wings wrapped around him and Vince. Encasing them in darkness.<br/><br/>Aki lowered them to the floor and had Vince straddle his lap. He moved his face to the junction between Vince's neck and shoulder. "P-please just let me stay like this for a while..." Aki breathed in Vince's scent and made himself relax.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Vince blinked as he was suddenly crushed into Aki's chest. Looking up at him and just hugged Aki with a smile. One the warmth made his body not hurt whatsoever and the second was Aki wasn't facing away from him anymore. "Well they lied to you. They really weren't good enough for you then Aki. They didn't care about you if they would tell you cruel things. If they would put you down like that then they didn't deserve you. They didn't deserve to be in your life if they would do something like that all the time." He said in a soft voice. "Well I'll unburn it out of your head. Use the sos pad and scrub it right off." He said with a soft laugh. "You don't need to be sorry Aki. Whoever hurt you like that is the one who needs to be sorry." He held him in the middle of his back. Hugging into him more what little was possible with being crushed into the other guys chest. He felt the wings come out and smile. He loved Aki's wings. They were so awesome. Then it got really dark in the room. Looking up he noticed that the wings were wrapped around them like a cocoon. "When we get out of the wing cocoon we are going to be butterflies. Beautiful and free forever more. Okay Aki? We are going to be butterflies. Worry and carefree even if it is just for a little while." He said with a smile. He was soon straddling Aki's lap and moved his legs so they rested comfortably on each side of Aki's lower body. He kept his head on Aki's form. "Okay. We can stay like this for however long as you need." He said softly. Holding onto Aki and just stayed like that. Glad Aki seemed to be feeling just a little bit better. He could feel the bleeding still but thanks to Chris sometime earlier he was wearing thicker clothing so it would take a long time before he had to worry about it seeping through. He'd feel so bad if he got that icky blood on Aki. Though he knew Chris be going to get those things he needed with Elizabeth and Brian soon. "Just take whatever time you need Aki. Let your heart's spirit raise and sore free like one on a dove's wings." Doves represented love but they also represented purity and hope.
