jovi gives apollo a few pats and goodbye ear scratches before he catches up to abel. “isn’t what what roomies do? a couple of servers at the herring have roommates, and they’re always whining about rent checks and bills.” jovi’s never had a roommate. well, not unless he counts vesper and a few passing people inside the kam mansion whenever he didn’t want to be alone. but he never charged them anything, didn’t even think about it because he never needed the spare money. unfortunately ironic now. if he were in a better mood he’d laugh.
“do you feel the inspiration? does my pain spark a bit of artistic desire? have at it then, michaelangelo.” jovi spreads his arms wide, “i am your canvas.” the idea of fresh ink does cheer him up. jovi’s always liked the needle a little too much. “you know what would do wonders for my mood?” he shoots abel a glance as a car pulls up. “some serious winnings down at your super secret private club. it’s been a while.”
“Being actual roommates would require a lease and I’m not doing that.” The last thing he needs is any more paperwork in his name, let alone associate it with Jovi and tie him up in anything if something were to happen. “Besides, does it look like I’m in need of any extra money coming my way? Are you saying I look like a charity case?” He turns towards Jovi with a raised eyebrow as hey head out to meet the driver. “Be careful, I’m tattooing you later don’t forget.” He points his finger back towards Jovi. “Just don’t forget to keep the doors locked and Apollo stays in the living room at night. I know he’s a great cuddle buddy but he’s a guard dog first.”
A laugh leaves him. “When aren’t I feeling the inspiration? Though if you had a preference I suppose I could be guided in a specific direction.” Jovi’s glance has him trailing however and he knows that look far too well to think it’s anything other than trouble. Not that Abel dislikes that. “Oh-- Are you in a betting mood tonight, Jovi?” Abel raises an eyebrow. He hadn’t planned to fight tonight but if that’s where the other alpha’s in the mood to go he’d never turn down the opportunity to rile someone up.
