As enthralled by him as she was, Sera still had just a little decency, though it only ran as far as wanting to move somewhere a little more private if things were going to get more hot and heavy, if only because the last thing either of them needed was Britt or Azrael to get a call home about their behaviour.

He felt her hesitance and smirked as he eased back. It didn’t take a genius to know what was going through her head and, on some level, he agree that getting their mom and her dad involved would not end well for anyone. So instead of pushing the game, he simply guided her to the car and even opened the door for her, playing the gentleman card if only because it suited what he wanted.

“Yeah, well he doesn’t believe that and he’s not exactly subtle or lighthanded about how he makes sure you know it.”

Zayde’s expression was turning sourer by the second, his breathing pattern changing to reflect that the topic caused him considerable emotional and psychological pain. It was obvious he had a lot of internal conflict over it, and it lent weight to why he was so hellbent on self destruction.

“Yeah, well, he’s a piece of shit. I’ve only ever kissed a girl once and it did not go over well.”

He was almost tempted to kiss him, but he doubted that would be a great idea given the topic at hand and the previous anger. Sure, he hadn’t been mad at Zayde per say, but he was the one that was there for Devin to take it out on.

rustandglass:

“That’s an understatement.”

The question had his distress flaring again for a moment in response, Zayde looking at the floor with an expression like a kicked puppy that answered the question regardless of whether he spoke or not.

Swallowing thickly, it took a second to gather himself together enough to try to elaborate just a little.

“He says it’s a sin,” he mumbled, fidgeting awkwardly. “He thinks that it’s the Devil trying to corrupt me.”

He snorted at the response, a faint urge to growl barely touching the sound as he shook his head.

“Your dad is full of fucking shit. I know a girl who’s daddy is like, an actual god, and the girl is about as gay as I am. Gods don’t give a shit who you’re fucking, just so long as it’s consensual.”

rustandglass:

“If you met my dad, you’d understand.”

There was almost a laugh to his words, but it was hollow and bitter, bordering on sounding vaguely unhinged in its grim acceptance.

At least Zayde was getting to his feet now though, teetering slightly with a small wave of lightheadedness that had him touching the wall behind him to steady himself.

“Hell, there’s a good chance you already heard of him.”

“I don’t want to know who he is because he sounds like a fucking dick,” Devin grumbled, eyeing the other for a moment as certain things began to click.

“When I made comments about fucking you, you had a spike of lust but also shame. He not okay with the gay thing or something?” He knew there were far more subtle ways to put things without basically outing himself as a shifter, but he figured Lissa had already slipped up in front of him. Her control was shit when she was high.

rustandglass:

“I just don’t.”

There wasn’t really one specific reason he could give for it, but the basic ones were just that he didn’t even technically have anywhere to live, so he didn’t actually own one, and on the road, he just slept wherever he could find a vaguely comfortable spot.

“Maybe that’s part of why you don’t sleep all that well.”

The lack of proper sleep support definitely had to play into it and she was almost tempted to push the issue, but she knew better. If she pushed too hard, he’d want to leave and it would spoil the entire point of bringing him out here in the first place.

Cam hadn’t slept so well in years. All the time Tass was gone, it had affected him on every level, leaving him restless at night and prone to waking far too easily, even with both Kat and Lyri by his side. He’d had no idea how much a piece of his soul was missing with Tass, how much of himself he’d given to the other in falling in love with him, but to remove any one of the three of his lovers from his life was to remove a piece of him along with it.

He didn’t stir yet when Tass touched him, still wrapped in the warmth of much-needed rest, but at least his dreams were no longer fraught with the sense of loss, despite any resentment he had still to let go of.

Tass was honestly content just to lie there and watch Cam sleep. It had been far too long since he had had any sort of closeness and gods knew he needed it, needed Cam as much as he did Lyri. He loved Kat too, but the two of them weren’t as close. Lyri and Cam were what kept those two in each other’s lives and neither minded it. 

His lips grazed Cam’s shoulder, feather light to match his touch, trying not to wake him.

Though the news stung him a little bit, Hypnos understood and he would never hold it against either of them, especially when Hypnos and Hecate had a child together anyway in Tayte, so he just saw it as further solidifying them all as a family unit.

“I’m glad you were there for each other,” Hypnos soothed, showing that he wasn’t angry. “I worried you might have started shutting yourself away again like Thana does.”

“She wouldn’t let me,” he replied with a slight chuckle. The fact that they all knew how he generally responded to things that hurt was amusing, but also a little bittersweet. He knew why they knew it now and there was still a lot of regret tied to that.

“I’d say you’ll love the twins but they’re not easy to be around. Cayden would probably give you a speech longer than you could stay awake from on those two.” But he loved the little creeps deeply.
