Zoruna<br/><br/>Brivariith nodded his head and held his cousin. He was not going to help him with his developed issue. However, he wasn't going to not hold his cousin after all these years either. "You should ask this guy you like out on a date. Never hurts to give it a shot or even a few." He was still sitting in the same area as Aki when the hour hit twelve. Having taken off his shirt and given it to Aki. Just in a undertank.<br/><br/>Vince looked at Reno. Blinking and nodded his head. "Okay..." he said. He really didn't need a ride home. It was appreciated but when Reno explained why he paled. One of Marlo's was bad news. Still it was best he took the right. He went through the school day without much event. It was actually a very slow day. He carried his books and walked outside. Looking for the car he had left earlier. Running a hand through his hair which was up in a pony tail. His hand going through the ponytail which had fallen over his shoulder. He stretched and waited.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Rude drove to Akihabara in a silent car. No Reno or radio. He parked the car and got out, he didn't turn it off. He waved Vince over and opened the door for him. He closed it then got back in the drivers seat. "Apartment or bar?"<br/><br/>Aki's "problem" subsided after a while, but his blush didn't for several hours. "I-it's.... Vi-Vince....." He looked out his office window. A little scared at how Brivariith would react to his declaration. He wasn't scared of Chris's reaction back then, but he hadn't been as worn down then as he was now.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brivariith looked at Aki. Smirking a bit. He started laughing. "You act like I'm about to beat you over the head with a tank Akihiko." he nuzzled his forehead against Aki's. "There is no one better who I could want for my friend. No one better to care for him and show him what love really is. I happy to know guy hasn't even ever focused on anyone. Let alone crushed or been in love. I think it be a good experience for him." he kissed Aki's forehead. "Now if you are done acting like a whipped puppy tell me when you plan to actually ask him out." He said with a smile. "Personally I think you should do it soon." He smiled a bit. "My guess is Chris had a totally different initial reaction. I want you to be happy."<br/><br/>Vince waited until he saw Reno. He walked over to him. He got in the car. "I guess the bar. Don't really need anything from the apartment right now. Got nowhere else to be." He smiled. "Besides I like it there the people are nice." He set the books on the floorboard.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki blushed again. He was doing that a lot lately. 'And crying.' Magarish inputted. He sighed. "C-Chris actually threatened me. Then he apologized... Vince is like Angela Brivariith."<br/><br/>He looked Brivariith in the eye, "I don't know when or how. I hardly know him, so I'm starting there first." He looked away, out the office window. He saw Rude and Vince enter the bar. He blinked. "What time is it?"<br/><br/>Rude went straight to the basement and stood near Reno, who was playing cards with Hikari, Tamaki, Aspen, and Beliar. He looked at Chris, "Is Aki-sama well?"<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brivariith looked at him. "Yes. I see. He took him in as his son. He actually did that with one of your old friends who went enemy. He was very protective of the ones he took in. He didn't meant to Akihiko. It was the parental nature in him." he laid his head on Aki. "Did you know Chris actually had children that were spawned by him many years before he met you?" He said softly. "When they were murdered it turned him overly protective and fierce towards any he took in. Sure you weren't his son but he was your guardian so to him it was the same thing. Marima and Kenneth were his pride and joy. They were murdered when they were three years old by human terms. It hit him hard. He told himself if he had been more protective of his children they would still be alive. Don't tell him I told you. I was there when he found their bodies." He looked at him. "Is he? You might want to tell Chris to watch for any genetic mutations then. It can be something small or something big. It is something they learned in the underground. It is known above ground."<br/><br/>Vince looked at Rude and Reno. He then smiled a bit. "Twelve ten. I just got out of class." He walked over and looked at them. He then went and took a seat at the table. He just laid his head down on his arm and was day dreaming about different things he could do. Even a walk on the beach.<br/><br/>Chris looked up and nodded his head. "He is with Brivariith. I would get him some clothes." He said and walked off.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki nodded, "I know he didn't mean it.... Though I didn't know he had sired..." He leaned back and looked at Brivariith. "What do you mean by mutations? Will it hurt him? Is he in danger?" Aki's eyes flashed red for a second. Showing Magarish's anger over such thoughts.<br/><br/>Rude nodded and got spare clothes for Aki before walking upstairs. He placed them outside the door and did a patterned knock they had designed before walking back downstairs.<br/><br/>Reno looked at Vince, "If your sleep, Pretty Boy, take the couch and sleep.... Hi-chan! Stop beating me! And don't teach you younger sister after she wakes either!"<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brivariith looked at Aki. "Yes. He sired. He doesn't talk about it because he blames himself for their deaths. You wouldn't know it by looking at him but it kills him when their birthday comes up." He looked at him. "Anything from birth defects to extreme illnesses. I don't know if it will. I don't believe he is but there really is no telling Aki. You just need to watch for it and let Chris know." He said. Kissing his forehead. "I don't know anything more Akihiko. I told you what I know on this matter." He set him on the couch. Standing and stretched. He looked at the time. "I must leave soon Akihiko."<br/><br/>Arnia came running out of the basement and glomped Reno out of the chair. "HI!" She then ran and sat next to Hi-chan. Looking up at her with a smile. "Hi hi." She said with a giggle.<br/><br/>Vince lifted his head a bit. "I'm awake. Was just day dreaming." A look of pain flashed through his eyes as a sharp dagger sensation shot through him then was gone. He shook his head and stood up. He began walking around without any real destination in mind. Stopping and just looked at all the different bottles at the bar. He wanted to do something but he didn't know what to do.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Reno caught her as they fell to the floor. "Mornin' Arnia." He groaned when he saw her sit by Hikari, "Damnit."<br/><br/>Reno frowned. 'Was Pretty Boy hurt?' He looked around for Chris and didn't see the leech. 'Damn him.' He got up and walked upstairs. He did the knock that meant, "Sickness." Then he noticed the clothes on the table by the door. 'Double damn.'<br/><br/>Aki frowned and stood. He opened the door to find Reno staring at a pile of clothes. He chuckled and took the clothes, "We didn't do anything Reno. Who's hurt?" Aki walked back into the office and into the bathroom where dressed into the given clothes.<br/><br/>Reno followed him into the main part of the office. "Pretty Boy got a pained look on his face. So either he's got a cramped muscle from being a stripper or he's hurt in some other way. No I didn't ask boss man."<br/><br/>"Hmm... I'll ask him. And have Aspen look him over." He came out of the bathroom and looked at Brivariith, "Did you need me now or later?"<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Arnia looked at Hikari. Bouncing in place and smiling. She didn't know she didn't have to go back. She hadn't really been that focused on what was going on around her. She smiled at Hikari. She looked down at the table. She didn't know what to say or do. She was just happy these people didn't scare her. That she didn't have to watch out so didn't step on toes.~ Vince just began looking over the bottles. The sharp pain in his abdomen had gone away. He was fine as far as he was concerned. It was probably just a pinched nerve from how he had been laying on the floor. He walked and looked at the wine bottles but didn't touch anything. He just studied the things. Thinking on what he could possibly do today. He wasn't sure he could leave here without somebody following him. That just didn't seem like a possibility. He sighed a bit. THen shook his head. For that matter what was he going to do now that he didn't have to work at the strip club for five months? It was going to be awfully boring.<br/><br/>Brivariith heard the conversation and shook his head. Might be a symptom of something. He doubted they'd find anything this soon. Still it never hurt to check. He looked at Brivariith. "I will be back later. Akihiko...may be a sign of what I was telling you about. Its too soon to tell for sure. Just keep an eye on it. It might worsen." He then walked out and left.
