“Prob’bly not, but it ain’t what I’m currently doin’.” To be fair, most of Lyri’s family was gorgeous and Izzy wasn’t blind. “So when’re ya tellin’ ‘em that it’s mine? It’d be nice ta know how long I have before I need ta go inta hidin’.” He was kidding, mostly, though he knew she was right about Elise’s inevitable response. “Gods. He found out his sister’s his mom an’ that his mom’s his grandma an’ now he gets ta hear that his dad knocked up his great grandma.”

“Key word being currently?” She shouldn’t encourage him, but the joke was out before she could even consider how it might sound. “Probably not until I figure out how to break that news. No one is going to be very pleased about all of this. I’ll at least make sure they all know you didn’t know what kind of actual state I was in and that you didn’t take advantage so they won’t be as pissed at you?” She knew what the immediate assumptions were going to be. “At least he’ll have Luna to side with him in his bitching?”

babyitsmagic:

“I think the universe just sees that as a challenge.” It felt like it had in his case, but that wasn’t something he wanted to get into, now or ever. “You this nice to everyone?”

“Then the universe is an asshole.” Which seemed like pretty common knowledge but earned being repeated. “Only to the people I like.”

louisianalostones:

“Ya don’t gotta worry about Benji. He’s not into it so it ain’t happenin’. Kid’s smarter than people give him credit for. As for Ben, ya know I’m not actively tryin’ ta sleep with your whole family, right? It’s just sort happenin’. Only so many immortals in the world, I guess.” Of course, Izzy still wouldn’t say no to Ben and that was at least half the problem. “Have ya told anyone– Shit, what’s Lin gonna say?”

“We both know if given the shot, you wouldn’t say no to trying to make a game of bingo out of nailing my family.” After all, she had played a game of that herself in her younger days with her brother. “Most of the family I live with is death spirit mixed, they know. Not that it’s yours, but they know it exists. You can tell Lin.”

babyitsmagic:

“That kind of question is inviting the universe to fuck you over,” he said, taking the offered hand, largely because he wasn’t sure how steady he was going to be on his feet.

“Maybe I don’t believe in that sort of thing.” It was a lie, Colette completely believed in it, but one them had to be even slightly optimistic right now. She gave his hand a slight squeeze, glad she was sober enough to drive still.

louisianalostones:

“Only tried once, back when I first met her an’ didn’t know any better. Benji, tho, I’ve tried at least twice.” And he still flirted, but he knew there wasn’t going to be anything there. “Maybe. He might be less mad if he weren’t in love with ya.”

“Oh no, you stay away from Benji. That boy is too sweet for you and Kat might kill you if you do anything to hurt him. She named Ben after Benji. And you’re staying away from Ben too.” She had no doubts that Ben would happily go to bed with Izzy since he would hardly be the first person they had both wound up in bed with. “True.”

babyitsmagic:

He scoffed. “Wouldn’t be the first time.” Still, getting arrested was an expense he didn’t want to deal with tonight and he downed the rest of his drink. “If it goes badly, remember it was your idea.”

“I’m a big girl. Besides, what’s the worst that could happen?” It was probably the absolute dumbest question anyone could ask, but she didn’t even consider it as she stood and offered him her hand. 

louisianalostones:

He hadn’t thought to ask how she knew, simply trusted that she did. Lyri wouldn’t lie to him about something like this. He doubted there was much she would lie about, really. “It’s not the worse thin’ I could do to piss off Jasper. An’ he already hates me, so it ain’t much of a loss. Least I haven’t slept with Simone or Benji.”

“I would sincerely hope you haven’t tried to get Simone into bed. Even I haven’t tried that one. She definitely deserves an actual romance versus a hook up,” she sighed, wanting to stick to that conversation but know it wasn’t really the point in this. “I think this might be like top 5 though.”

louisianalostones:

He didn’t have to ask if she was keeping it. He knew Lyri well enough to know the answer. “Well… fuck. At this rate, your whole family’s gonna hate me one day. …how far along are ya?”

“Far enough that I can feel its energy strongly enough to know it’s not Cam’s.” He wasn’t wrong about how her entire family was going to end up hating him. “Jasper is going to be pissed when he finds out.”

babyitsmagic:

“I know,” he deadpanned. “But I get worse. Consider yourself warned.” He figured it was only fair to give her the chance to avoid him. After all, she’d yet to give him a reason to hate her.

She offered him a soft smile, tempted to reach out for his hand but refraining. “Which is probably why you shouldn’t be alone. If you’d rather, we can get you good and drunk at my place so there’s no risk of cops getting involved.”

louisianalostones:

“‘course. It ended the way most’a my nights do. But… better, because you’re better in bed than most people I met.” His frown deepened. “…oh, gods. Lyri, tell me I’m wrong.”

“Why else would I be so hellbent on getting your balls removed? Only other person I’ve been with that could swing that is Cam.” And she damn sure knew it wasn’t Cam’s based on the pulse of the energy surrounding it. “If Cam doesn’t kill you, Elise might.”
