I Aim To Please

My name is David Carson. I'm 27 years old, and I have been in this city long enough to know that the only way you survive is to simply give what is expected of you. I'm undeniably human in a city full of creatures. And I have given my all to get by. Slave of: Logan De Wright

[ashendrifter]

“No.”

It’s earnest truth ripped clean from layers of scar tissue and broken armor. Logan doesn’t peel his eyes away from the glass box just yet, brows furrowed in thought. A hand rests at his boy’s nape, stroking the soft hairs there idly. His voice is scarcely more than a hoarse whisper as he stands there drawing in a strained breath.

“Are you?”

Now there is something softer to his quiet voice, a hint of the man beneath. Looking away from the glass, his eyes linger upon still healing bruises and follow the curve of David’s cheek to meet those soft brown eyes. Leaning forward, he merely presses his forehead close, lets their noses brush, and then once more returns his attention to the small glass box.

“What does it do?”

[david-carsonx]

At his admission, David sighs, leaning into the touch his master gives all the while his eyes search the face as it stared intently at his little contraption. It worried him to see Logan like this. Withdrawn, even slightly from him. But he wouldn't pester. That wasn't his job until Logan gave that up willingly. Moving to stand behind him, he pressed lips into the crook of Logan's neck and hummed, looking at the design as well. It's a little machine that sends out small pulses. Relaxing vibrations in a small space. It's to help you relax after work." He explained as warm hands ran over Logan's sides. "Something to ease your stress." He added, glancing at Logan with a serious gaze. "Because lord knows you worry just a little too much. But..." His next words are careful and quiet as he speaks them against the skin of his guards neck. "I love you for that."

[glennlyonn]

Glenn enjoyed how David always played with his hair, and it provided him some comfort. At the joke, he managed a small smile. “Let’s just say you should be glad I’m a slave or it probably would have been a less pleasant sight.”

[david-carsonx]

"You know, I really don't think I would mind as much as you think." He assured Glenn, looking around. "Fortunately, I'm all too familiar with gore. However I would've liked to see what you could've done with Cordelia." He offered with a raised brow as he looked back. "I've got an idea. Want to come to the coffee shop with me? I've been walking around long enough, I could use a booster."

[glennlyonn]

“Just…don’t want to go home…” he murmured softly, tightening his grip a little. “I don’t want to share him, and since I have to, it’s easier to just stay away.”

[david-carsonx]

Jealousy could be a terrifying monster. And even David wasn't sure of what he'd do should Logan ever bring anyone else home. But he remembered the rift it put between Cordelia and himself. "I remember that feeling. I used to hide in my old shop for days." He admitted. "I'm not big on sharing either." He leaned his head on Glenn's. "You can stay here with me as long as you like, though I have to admit, watching me tinker isn't much fun."

[ruby-red-rose-covaire-city-deac]

Rose sighed and moved over to sit on the table. “Hey, it’s no problem… He just freaked me out a little. He asked me about Cordelia?”

[david-carsonx]

He chuckled to himself as she sat on the table. "He can do that to some people." He joked ruffling his hair. "Cordelia was my ex mistress. She kidnapped me. Logan disposed of her. And now he needs to know who's safe for me to be around."

[glennlyonn]

At the hands of the human, he looked up, allowing the tears to linger in his eyes. Just as David felt safe being weak around him, he felt safe being weak around David. The wolf nuzzled into the other’s hands before pulling him into a hug. “…Are you okay?”

[david-carsonx]

David smiled as Glenn pulled him close and played with the hair of the wolf, nodding. "I'm better." He admitted, leaning back. "So... Did the easter bunny piss you off so bad that you had to murder his whole family and then some?" He teased, wiping stray tears.

[ashendrifter]

“Another?”

Stepping tentatively into the lab, his gaze lingered over the various tools strewn about. Logan no longer grimaces when he walks but there’s something changed in him. Until the door is closed and locked behind his back, the gaze that drifts slowly is cold, withdrawn. There is a stiffness to his poise that has settled in his bones, refusing to leave. “What about this one?” The vampire raised a finger to the glass box.

[david-carsonx]

As Logan enters, David's smile warms. At least until he notices that the usual demeanor the guard kept for everyone was suddenly being used with him as well. Once his fingers raised to the glass box, David limped over and pressed a kiss to Logan's shoulder. "That is actually something I'm working on for you." He murmured. "Are you okay?"

[ruby-red-rose-covaire-city-deac]

Rose had gone to find David. She needed to ask him about Logan and why he wanted to talk to her. “Logan came to find me…”

[david-carsonx]

That made David give pause. He sighed, glancing down at some of his work before he tossed a tool on the table and his hands lay down flat. "That's my fault, honestly. He's probably going to track down every scent on me til' he figures out who's really trustworthy for me to be around." He murmured. "I do apologize... He's protective."

[glennlyonn]

Without saying anything, Glenn made his way behind David and wrapped his arms around the other’s waist, nuzzling against the back of his neck. It was his way of finding comfort in one of the closest people he had to him.

[david-carsonx]

As Glenn nuzzled into his back, David placed an arm over the other's hand and looked over. "Well hello." He murmured, letting the cane lean on the table as he reached back to allow his other hand to rub Glenn's arm. "Are you alright?"

[glennlyonn]

The scene probably looked like something from a horror movie. The wolf was surrounded in dead, bloodied squirrels, rabbits…birds, anything he’d been able to get his hands on to take out the frustration of being neglected out on. And now, as his hurt and anger still lingered, he sat there with his bloody hands covering his face as he tried to hold back tears and ignore whoever was coming near him.

[david-carsonx]

David had limped into the forest to relax. The past week had been enough to make him wish he could just get out of Covaire permanently, and yet, there were so many things tying him here. Once he stumbled upon Glenn, though, he realized there were more things keeping him here than he'd ever dreamed. "Glenn?" He mumbled. He hobbled closer before kneeling down and took Glenn's face in his hands. "Hey... hey. It's okay."

[david-carsonx]

He still had to walk with a cane, but at the very least, he was able to work. Humming to himself as he mozyed through the lab, he tapped on a few things before he heard footsteps and looked up with a small smile. "Watch yourself. Some of the things in here are pretty sensitive. I'd hate to have another small explosion around here."

[gwenyth--carrington]

“Where is he?” She over articulated to make sure he could read her lips. “I’m staying at…” She pulled out a pad of paper and wrote it down. “I’m rented by Effy right now. You can come with me for a bit?”

[david-carsonx]

This was all inexplicably confusing, and for the inventor, frustrating. But as he watched her pull the pad out, he sighed in relief. Reading it, his brows furrowed. Rented? As he glanced up at her, concern found his features. But he wouldn't ask questions. Wounds like that were better left alone. Nodding, he took her hand and slowly stood, glancing around. Terrified they would be snuck up, beaten, or even attacked; he kept her close as he started walking.

Sɘnsus ::: Ben & [open]

[blessed-freeman]

Ben had stopped counting the necks he had snapped after ten. He turned around when he heard his name too focused on watching a girl going half mad in her cell because she couldn’t see… she was giving Elle Driver a run for her money. The guard shook his head at the question.

Ben smelled the blood and saw it. He got closer, touching the wound and showed his hand to David afterward.

[david-carsonx]

The wolf was agitated, that much was plain to see. David could only hope he hadn't bothered him to the point where the ire would swing in his direction. As Ben approahched, David held his breath, but looked down when the hand was offered up. When the fuck had that happened. Pulling out a kerchief, he wiped Ben's hand. "Sorry... I'm sorry..." Panic was latent compared to the sense of helplessness. But he glanced up, looking Ben over. "You can't talk?"

[gwenyth--carrington]

Gwen had left Effy’s to try to pick up something for the vampire that might make her chill out when she ran into David. She looked him over ang gave him a big hug. She was without the massive dog that was always with her, and no longer had a collar. She pointed to her ears and shook her head, mouthing that she couldn’t hear either.

[david-carsonx]

As arms surrounded him, he could only pray that they weren't of threat. But when his eyes opened and he hugged back, he realized who it was. "G-gwen?" He muttered. He watched her then, nodding his head. "I can't do this... I can't do this, I need Logan..." He mouthed back.

"…” Ben was about to rip something apart. This wasn’t the time to bother him.

[david-carsonx]

Everytime the hairs stood up on the back of his neck, David's head whipped around. Wounds that had finally started healing were now bleeding, and his lack of touch and hearing wasn't helping matters. He needed to find Logan, which lead him to stumble into the Chateau. Leaning on the wall in the darkness of the cells, his eyes found a familiar face. "Ben..." But what if the other couldn't hear as well. Stumbling forward, David warily approached. "Please tell me you've seen Logan..." Christ he didn't even know if he was speaking properly, this all felt wrong, out of place.

[david-carsonx]

The only thing that the explosion had granted him, besides absolute panic over what the hell had happened this time, was freedom from the pain of his injuries. Mostly healed, they still ached like he'd been beaten only yesterday. However, with the freedom of pain, another sense had escaped him. "Jesus fucking- SOMEONE HELP! I CAN'T HEAR!" Stumbling from the tiny apartment, eyes raced around him, searching for the slightest sign of anyone willing to at least lend a hand. He felt defenseless and Logan was away at the Chateau, leaving him more vulnerable than usual. "Someone... Please."
