Zoruna<br/><br/>Arnia smiled and put the camera away and jumped up and down in place. "It was awesome sissy." She said with a giggle. Then looked at them. "Okay Sissy. Okay Reno." She went and began to help out taking orders from the tables.<br/><br/>Chris continued to head towards the apartment. He was rather amused that Devin jumped through a window. <Brian landed mere moments before the phone began ringing. Elizabeth upon his Drakken back. He shifted back and walked inside carrying her still. He headed towards the bedroom without stopping. Wondering where Chris was. He walked into the bedroom to check on Vince. He had told Elizabeth about what had happened earlier in the day. He still didn't let Elizabeth off his back yet. He heard Aki mumbling in his sleep. Smirking and whispered to Elizabeth. "Isn't that just the cutest sight ever." He heard what Aki mumbled and walked to the chair. Picking up the phone and spoke softly. "Hello?" Yeah. He answered the phone without a voice manipulator. He wasn't really thinking about it. "No. He is not interested." He hung up and put the phone down. He leaned his head back and looked at Elizabeth. "I suppose you want down now?" He asked in amusement.<br/><br/>Vince shifted in his sleep. He wasn't sure how much closer he could get pulled into Aki's chest. He was now pressed firmly against Aki's chest. Nuzzling him in his sleep. Smiling as the extreme warmth made the pain so numb he wasn't having any issue sleeping at all.<br/><br/>Brian watched the two sleeping. "My best friend and my cousin make such a cute pair." He said with a snicker. He let go of Elizabeth's legs so she could get off his back if she wanted to now.<br/><br/>Chris walked into the apartment and locked the door. Sniffing. Brian. Elizabeth. Vince. Aki. Looked like the whole gang was here. He set the box on the counter and pulled out the blood. Flitting over to the microwave and began nuking it. His stomach was growling.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki woke to Elizabeth's feet being placed on the ground. His eyes opened and he saw Brivariith then Elizabeth. Aki blinked a few times. Then he heard the microwave and groaned. The side effects finally appearing. Aki took a pillow and put it on his head, still holding Vince. He breathed in and out. Even that too loud for his ears.<br/><br/>Magarish snorted. 'It is what you get for using /that/ trick.' Aki just nodded. "I know." He accidentally answered aloud.<br/><br/>Elizabeth frowned at Aki's behavior. She looked at Brivariith, "I've never seen him do that, Brian." She whispered as she grabbed Brian's hand. "Is that Chris with the microwave?"<br/><br/>Aki in turn tossed the pillow at Elizabeth and Brivariith, "Out." He snarked. His eyes glowing, showing Magarish's feelings about the side effects. "You're too loud." Aki nuzzled Vince's hair and tried to calm down and concentrate. He usually got in the shower, heat on as high as it would go, and sit in the bottom until everything was normal. His little mate hindered that remedy. He would not take Vince in the shower, but he couldn't leave Vince either.<br/><br/>Aki glanced down at Vince's face and sighed. Tensing and un-tensing with each sound he heard. Which was everything. Aki looked to Brivariith. "Take my place for an hour. I can't." Aki winced and tensed up again. Brivariith was just as warm as him, so Vince should receive minimum discomfort.<br/><br/>Elizabeth was worried and pushed Brian at the bed, "Go ahead, I'll go talk to Chris." She walked into the other room to Chris and saw the boxes, "Hi-chan make food?" She pursued it and checked how much was there and for whom. There was a note just for her from Hikari that said what was what. "And we have a detailed list too." Elizabeth waved the sheet lightly.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brian looked at her but didn't comment. Nodding his head at her next question. "Side effects my love. Side effects." He caught the pillow and looked at Aki like he had gone mad. Merely smirking at his snarky tone. He let Elizabeth push him towards the bed. "Fine fine. Two against one is hardly fair." He muttered. He moved over to the bed and pulled Vince from Aki after climbing up onto the bed. Turning his best friend and pulled him close. Sending Aki a look that says you asked me to do this so don't be getting all territorial on me. He indicated the bedroom bathroom. "Well go on. And don't you dare start growling at me either. You knew better than to do what you did. If my suspicions are correct." He looked at Vince.> Vince whimpered when he was moved but recognized the arms holding him. He made a face but didn't wake up.<br/><br/>Brian chuckled a bit and shook his head. "Spoiled already eh Vince..." He said in amusement. He watched Aki carefully.<br/><br/>Chris had the heated up blood packet with his fangs in it but his mouth holding it in place. He was drinking from it slowly as he began to make chocolate covered strawberries for Vince. He turned and looked at Elizabeth. Nodding his head and went back to it. This was not easy. He turned and continued draining the pouch as he sucked on it. Finishing the pouch he took it from his mouth and tossed it in the trash. "Indeed. My adopted son wanted chocolate and strawberries. Not sure why all the rest is in there. I'm just finding it strange Vince is craving a fruit he utterly dislikes." he said with a chuckle. Taking another pouch to nuke in the microwave. "So Brivariith brought you yes?" he looked at him. "What is it like riding on the back of a lunatic flyer?" He said with a playful grin and a laugh. "Whenever I saw Brivariith flying it looked like he was doing dangerous aerial stunts. Though I'd imagine since you were on his back he'd fly less insanely." He then stuck the pouch in his mouth and sunk his fangs in. Starting to drink it while he made more chocolate covered strawberries. His hands were becoming coated in chocolate on the tips. He finished the pouch and tossed it away also. Holding up the plate of messily chocolate coated strawberries. "Am I doing this right? I figured it be easier just to coat them in chocolate but its not like I eat this stuff every day." He said in amusement. "So you are staying for a while? The old man never looked like he could float without his wings before." He put the other packets of blood in the fridge.<br/><br/>Brian held Vince who didn't seem to want to be in his best friends arms. He had such an adorable face of disliking on his face. It had him chuckling softly.<br/><br/>Chris looked at the rest of the food in the box. "What in the world does she expect me to do with all of these things? She is the awesome chef. I can skim by." He said. Looking at Elizabeth. "So how is your clan doing?"<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki was up and in the shower in a second the water turned on hot. Aki fell to his knees and let his head rest against the side of the shower. He closed his eyes and breathed in and out. In and out. Listening to the water fall was all he needed right now. Aki blearily opened his eyes and realized he didn't turn the light on. He huffed, not like he striped for this anyway. Aki watched the water spiral down the drain in the dim light.<br/><br/>Elizabeth giggled. "He didn't fly like a lunatic, though I wouldn't be surprised. And your strawberries look fantastic." She put her hand to her mouth and giggled. "The clan is fine. A couple new additions actually. Young too. It makes me sad that their parents can't accept them, but that's what me and mine are for. We accept them and show them that no matter how different they are to everyone else. They. Are. Amazing." She smiled at Chris, "It's all they need, plus some of this food is for Aki too, ya' know."<br/><br/>Magarish huffed, 'Brivariith knows.' Aki sighed. 'I wish he didn't.' Aki told Magarish, he managed to not say it aloud this time though. The pain was ebbing away and the sounds were lowering in frequency. That didn't say anything for light though. Aki groaned.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brivariith held Vince he kept pushing away from him some. He chuckled a bit. "Even in your sleep you are insistent upon what you want." He whispered. Shaking his head. Relieved when Vince settled down. He looked towards the shower and shook his head. Later...but not today...he and Akihiko were going to have a serious talk. He was nearly entirely certain he was right on his suspicions. That was foolish and dangerous. Still...he could see why Aki had done it. His beast was probably out of control from what happened this morning. Still it was a stupid thing to do.<br/><br/>Chris looked at her and shrugged. "Well then you are even more special than anyone already knew." He said with a flash of teeth while he finished making strawberries. He looked at her as she continued. "I would hope not. I do not exaggerate on his methods of flying. They might have gotten better over the years but back when I first met him he looked like he was doing aerial assault twenty-four seven." He said with a laugh. Listening as she spoke and nodded his head. "Yes. People who are different need that." He looked in the direction of the room then back at her. "Where the devil were you when the three of us men needed to have a very difficult and awkward conversation with Vince?" He asked. "I swear that conversation was far worse and awkward then having the sex talk with Vince when he turned 15. Besides...you are a woman. You know more about it then even the three of us men combined." He laughed a bit afterwards. "Well...I'm just glad we found out. Though I kind of get the impression Aki thinks he could have done something to prevent this. There really wasn't anything he could have done. There wasn't anything any of us could have done. There were no signs that we could tell...you know?" He sighed a bit. "I feel the same way though...like there had to have been something more I could have done. I know there wasn't but it still feels like it."
