Once again, Izyk flagged down his bartender this time signally for two each, ignoring the knowing glance she was giving him. He could deal with that tomorrow, right now he was on a mission to get the boy and himself loose enough from the booze to steal him away into his office. “Good,” he grunted out before took the two back to back. He would give away however much free booze it took to get that vampire naked, Izyk just hoped that it wasn’t enough to bankrupt him.

Nimble fingers grasped around the first shot and he quickly downed the amber liquid, followed in succession by the second. It wasn’t enough to get drunk by any means, but he sure as shit wasn’t gonna deny the liquor. 

“So you uh, come here often?”

The wolf’s lips pulled up into a small smile when the vampire slide next to him. Signaling with his fingers, he waited for the two shots to be brought over to him in a speedy manor. Normally he wouldn’t do this kind of thing, at least not with a vampire, but tonight he knew he needed it. Florence was off doing whatever she was and they did have an open marriage…

Grabbing the drinks, he handed it to the boy before nodding his head and taking the shot with ease. The wolf’s bane in his own burned slightly going down, an indicator that it was working. Grunting, something he did a lot, he turned to his date (?) and simply said, “Another?”

The vampire winked before he took his shot, easily taking it down before he offered a wide, infectious grin. “Fuck yeah,” he agreed, leaning against the side of the bar, hungry eyes glancing up his chest and back to his face, “I could do this all night."

Fuck him, the wolf was a looker, and that little grunt was damn sexy.

“No.”

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“Well, then do you tweet? Got a Twitter?”

“Bet you’ve got at least a thousand followers.”

[margo-simmons]

“..No.”

People had come and gone all night. Some stopped by to grab a couple drinks, others had gotten some food and would more than likely be there until closing. It was just the way a bar worked and his was no different than any other. Tonight was one of those nights he decided to stay and blend into crowd, moving though the throng, watching how everything was moving and meshing from the eye of his customers. It was a rare thing for him to do but occasionally he would enjoy it, the wolf inside him relaxed enough to be around others and Izyk was grateful tonight the wolf was calm enough for him.

He had spotted him the moment he walked into the room. That stupid little hat, the clothes that screamed attention with all of the bright colors, the smile on his face. He wasn’t the usual type that Izyk found attractive, far from it but there was something about him… Meeting the boy’s eye, he nodded at him as he moved to the bar making sure Sandra was okay with the rush of people deciding they needed drinks in that exact moment.

He missed his sister. It had only been a few weeks really, but he felt like he’d been away from her for years, for a lifetime. Bea was his other half, the one who really completed him, and without her, what was he? The vampire’s nose crinkled slightly and he took an abrupt turn, pushing himself into the nearest bar. Drinking would help. When didn’t it? If he had enough, he’d get that fantastic warm, overall fuzzy feeling, and then he’d get to spend the evening preferably riding the shit outta some handsome guy he’d meet.

If not, he could always spend the night dancing on top of the bar itself.

He moved through the small crowd, eyes bouncing from person to person before his gaze settled on a very tall, very gorgeous wolf. Oh yeah, even through the crowd of mixed species, he could gleam the musky scent of wolf and woods pulsing from him. The vampire’s lips tugged into a grin when the wolf in question gave him a nod, and in turn he followed him and waited a moment before asking, “You gonna buy me a drink?"

“Anything hard and in a shot glass would do just fine.”

“I like your phone.”

“Have you played Candy Crush? It’s god damn addicting.”

[iontheskies-blog]

Dia didn’t really have much to say on the matter. He couldn’t prove this stranger wrong, in his statement, but he also didn’t really care enough to try.

“I guess. Can I get back to this movie, or do you have more to say?”

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“Ain’t stoppin’ ya, so sure thing,” the vampire relayed, offering a short shrug, “Course, I always got somethin’ to say so.. I mean yeah dude, go for it.” 

He wasn’t surprised that the quote from the very movie on the screen seemed to go over this guy’s noggin, but he was a little disappointed. 

[sabine-avitus]

“I guess we shouldn’t get scared so easily over these movies.”

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“Ya really shouldn’t, they ain’t airing the super scary shit.”

“Plus,” the boy added, unable to help but bark out a short laugh, “I’m pretty sure you could take down whatever’s comin’ at ya.”

[veronikanikolov]

The guy sounded impressed by her feat. She was not expecting that. She pursed her lips slightly amused by the vampire’s tale. “Oh I should meet your mother sometime, sounds like we have a bit in common,” she told him. “Poison. Though I guess now all I have to do is give them a goodnight kiss,” she smirked. “Don’t have the teeth though, maybe I should get that seen to,” she shrugged. 

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“You should! She’s a fantastic mom, ten outta ten,” Brax told the other, holding up both hands and spreading his fingers, emphasizing his rating. 

“She’s just the tops, ya know? But uh, I bet you could find some underground surgeon to get the done,” he continued, “But definitely tell the good doc about the rows and rows of teeth, and get some implanted beneath so’s if ya bite into like, a pole or something you ain’t a hillbilly shark, you’re a normal cool killer queen kinda shark.” If there was one thing the vampire never ever did, it was shut up. He could talk endlessly about anything and everything.

Izyk rolled his eyes when others turned their heads to glare at that vampire’s outburst. Then again Braxton was always loud. “I have my reasons.” He grunted out, “And dolphins are the underwater ‘puppies’. Not sharks.”

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“Pops, dolphins are assholes. At least sharks ain’t gonna fool you into thinkin’ they’re sweet all the damn time,” the vampire insisted, lowering his voice just a touch. 

“If you’re a good boy an’ you sit through another one of these flicks, I’ll deep throat ya in your favorite part of the woods.” He leaned in a little closer and pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. "I mean I'mma do it anyway, but ya should still be good."

[veronikanikolov]

“Funnily enough I had the same reaction killing both of my husbands,” she looked to the vampire with a deadpan expression.

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“Woah,” Brax leaned in, brows raised for a brief moment before a wide grin sparked across his face. 

“Mom killed her hubby too, not dad though, dad ain’t married,” he said, not taking the time to elaborate on his somewhat confusing family line. Richard was his father, his sire, and his mom, Kai, was more or less adopted, for better or for worse. “What’s your method of choice for mariticide? Cannibalism? You got dem shark teeth?” He asked, making a chomping motion with his hand. "With the rows and rows of teeth?"

[pa-izyk-blog]

“I don’t like sharks.” The wolf muttered, pulling his plaid jacket closer around him, wishing for the hundredth time that night that he was a wolf instead of a human. “I don’t like this movie either.”

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“..What the hell.”

“How can you not like this movie? Or sharks!?” The vampire shouted incredulously, “Sharks are basically underwater puppies. Like your second cousin just in the ocean. Are you sharkcist?”

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“You know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin',” the vampire paused, ducking his head a little closer to the other, 

“Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white.”

[marcelluseickenhorst]

“..Sadly, yes.”

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“What the fuck.” The vampire took an uneasy step backwards, gaze lingering on the freshly spattered blood along the shore. He’d never seen anything like that before. Although his curiosity generally got the better of him, he was without his sister or his dad or Izyk, and it embedded him with a touch more caution than usual. 

“Did it.. Have a tail?” He asked, prompting the question before he pressed forward a few feet, mindful to keep himself relatively close to the elder vampire. 

[braxton-grayson-blog]

“Holy shit. Did you see that?”
