Seven rolled around and the car he hired pulled up to the address. An arched brow made its way onto his face as he buttoned up the jacket he wore. It was one of his more casual suits, the<a class="postlink" href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0073/8132/files/3-AW01-2.jpg?7746822899451098563">charcoal grey</a>given a pop of color with a steel blue tie that brought out the color in his eyes.  A warehouse seemed very typical for a place that Colt called home. It had the space that he would need for his antics, but it allowed for the sense of security that a lone wolf would need. For whatever reason, he had the feeling that the inside would be more opulent than the outside led it to be. Afterall, Athan basically raised him, and while he might not have taken on all of his tastes and habits, there were a few of them that he knew the wolf kept up with.<br/><br/>At the door, he took a moment to check his suit once more before he rang the buzzer. Hardly was he out there before Colt answered the door. Freshly showered by the look and smell of him, did nothing for the cocky look on his face either.<br/><br/>“Hello, Athan,” his tone friendly enough though that didn't do anything for Athan’s mood. “You look sharp. I thought this was casual?”<br/><br/>“I am dressed casual,” the vampire replied as he subconsciously adjusted his suit again.<br/><br/>“So casual for you?” Colt shot back as he leaned casually against the door frame. “That would make more sense I suppose.”<br/><br/>“At least I bother to try and look more like an adult and less like some former cast member from 21 Jump Street,” Athan smirked at the jab that made Colt shake his head and sigh.<br/><br/>“Looks like someone is jealous that I can pull off the whole jeans bad boy look. Whereas you’re just a bad boy with a stick up his ass,” the wolf snickered at the look that flashed over Athan’s face.<br/><br/>“How much longer is Tempest going to be?” no longer interested in this polite back and forth.<br/><br/>Colt leaned back into the building, mostly to listen before he resumed his position on the door frame. “She is on her way now,” he said and then as if as an afterthought. “Did you eat before you came here?”<br/><br/>Disgust and the look of being insulted washed over his face at the insinuation thrown at him. “What is it to you? What if I planned on asking her to let me feed from her?”<br/><br/>Colt visibly bristled at the thought, the muscles in his neck, shoulders and jaw tightened and worked in silent protest of the unspent rage that suddenly swelled forth. “If you so much as-“<br/><br/>“If I so much as what?” Athan spat, quick to cut him off. “She does not belong to you, and she is not your girlfriend, and she is definitely not your mate,” gaze locked with that of the wolf, burned with just as much anger and righteous fury. “So, you have no claim on her and what she chooses to do or who she chooses to be with,” now, feeling bold, Athan stepped into Colt’s personal space only so that he could drop his voice in a threatening whisper. “If you even want to stay in her good graces, we both know that you have to deal with whatever she does with me, just as I have to deal with whatever she does with you.”<br/><br/>For what felt like an eternity they stared down one another. Eyes locked in a battle of wills that did not end until both notice the approach of Tempest. Instantly, their eyes allowed breaking contact at the same time as both visibly relaxed in her presence.<br/><br/>“You look beautiful,” both men said in unison. It was Athan that broke the awkward silence that followed where he cleared his throat. “Umm..shall we go?” Arm offered to her he walked with her to the car, a look thrown over his shoulder at Colt.<br/><br/>“You really do look beautiful,” he whispered to Tempest as he opened the door to her so that she could enter first. The ride to the restaurant was filled with small talk as he worked to catch himself up on her life and just spend time with her. Once there he helped her out of the car and walked with her to the entrance.  “Now, this place is a bit more fun and well different than what I usually enjoy, but I thought that it would be a nice change of pace.”<br/><br/>The fresh air of the air conditioning greeted them as they entered a place that had more excitement and life than Athan dared to spend when not hunting. It was one of those Japanese restaurants that prepared and cooked the food right in front of you on a grill. It was lively, and people clapped and cheered amongst the showmanship of the chefs. Shown to their grill, he allowed her to sit first before he took his own seat. “So, what do you think?”
