“Alright, I’ll take your word for it, but if I think for a minute you’re still not warm enough, I’m gonna turn it off. Deal?”

Matt wouldn’t take no for an answer, even if he had to make Tucker think it was his idea instead.

“Don’t see how you’ll be able to with me wrapped around you like a sloth,” he pointed out, having absolutely no intentions of letting go of Matt for even a moment. 

Of course he knew what his brother was trying to pull, but he didn’t really care. He was comfortable for the moment.

“You damn well know you did,” he returned, holding her gaze and giving her jaw a tight squeeze. His strength was human, but the grip wasn’t weak. These were hands that knew how to deal damage, had been doing it for hundreds of years. He released his grip, hand dropping to his side. “You can’t go about scaring off customers or there’s no point in keeping you around the shop. If I have to come up with another use for you, it likely won’t be one where you keep breathing.”

His grip tore a pained whine from her lips, but she was otherwise still until he let go. Trying to pull away would have only caused more damage, something she knew from experience. “All I was doing was agreeing with the cat,” she protested, rubbing at her jaw gently. She knew it was going to be bruised, knew she was lucky he wasn’t anything that could literally shatter her jaw by grabbing it the way he did, but that didn’t make it hurt any less.

“Longer than you can go without this,” she teased, matching his tone perfectly even though they both knew neither of them could stand up to the challenge for too long before they both cracked, since they were so completely entwined with each other that they’d been inseperable since they were kids.

“Doubt it since I can sleep a lot longer than you can,” he taunted, wiggling his eyebrows at her playfully. He never slept as long as he probably should but only because he preferred to spend his time with her.

“ Why are you so stubborn?” He asked, groaning to himself he rubbed his face, turning to walk down the hallway, away from her room. He needed to breathe for a moment, walking out into the kitchen he leant up against the fridge, sliding down it to sit at the base on the floor with his head resting in his hands. He was holding back the tears, tears of frustration, tears of grief and of fear for his childrens safety. “ Why is this so hard? why is everything so fucking hard?” he whispered to himself, letting out a deep sigh then fell into a short sob. It was times like this he wished his own father was still around to lend some advice.

Caolinn waited until she heard him move into a different room of the house before she sliding her window open as quietly as she could. If he was so hellbent on forcing her to leave her home, he would damn sure have to find her first and she wasn’t about to make that easy.

Sneaking out was easy, she had been doing it since she was at least thirteen, so it wasn’t like she made much, if any, sound in doing so. The sound of him in tears was almost enough to make her pause, but not quite as she slipped out the window and into the woods.

Adam opened the door to her room, dragging her in. He let go of her, standing in the doorway, he crossed his arms. “ I am giving you the chance the pack something Caoilinn! If you’re going to be a brat then you can take nothing.” His words were purely frustration, he hated speaking to his daughter like that but she was so goddamn stubborn.

“Just le-leave me a-alone!” she screamed back, refusing to look at him with tears soaking her pale cheeks. She didn’t want to be around him at all right now and she wasn’t going to just do as he said either. She was tired of being treated like a child that couldn’t take care of herself.

“ Don’t-” Adam kept his grip on her arm, but he knew it wasn’t tight enough to hurt her. “ Don’t you lie like that Caoilinn, you know I wouldn’t hurt you, you damn idiot!” Adam hissed, pulling Cao down the hallway towards her room.

       “ You’re being a fucking child, Caoilinn.”

Between his tone and choice of words, she was quickly falling apart. He could drag her to her room all he wanted, but that didn’t mean she was going to pack anything and definitely didn’t mean she was going anywhere with him.
