Gabriel smiled, though his grip on the book didn’t lessen. It would maybe answer this witch’s questions, but only after the incubus understood what actually he was looking for. Maybe this one’s different magic was the answer. “I am serious. You’re handsome, and I can’t help myself.” That didn’t necessarily mean those two things went hand in hand, but Gabriel didn’t bat an eyelash. “So what’s it gonna be? Do you want to find out?”

-

The librarian was attractive, but Jakob didn’t really like or care for his style. Still, what was a kiss? He’d put his lips in plenty of worse places. “Alright, fine. But if you’re bullshitting me there’s going to be hell to pay.” Jakob said instead before he stepped forward, it was awkward, and he didn’t know how to start this or finish it. So instead he just went for it, his lips met Gabriel’s, what he wasn’t expecting was for how magnetic it felt. Gabriel’s lips were surprisingly soft, responsive, and when he pulled away after a pair of heartbeats too long it was only because he remembered it was because he was here for a reason. Jakob cleared his throat and took a necessary step back, “Right. Uh-” Jakob wasn’t an idiot, but he felt like one now. “You- so what do you know?’

     “Cool.” Adam was relieved, he wasn’t entirely sure what he would have done if Jakob wasn’t okay with it. Rion had been annoying enough about it, but maybe now it was time to tell his other few friends as well. Which was kind of… an exciting thought. Whereas moving in was a bit daunting, a bit too fast for his own liking. But he couldn’t deny that his brain was already painting scenarios for a future where that could happen. “I don’t think you would like my apartment very much. Too small, too clean. Am I right?” It was a playful tease, and he quickly continued. “When we move in together, we should find something new.” When, not if, because he was planning for this to work out. He wasn’t ready for another failed relationship. “How about for now you keep a toothbrush here? Some clothes, whatever you need.”

-

“You calling me a slob?” Jakob asked jokingly as he raised his brow at the other, maybe he wasn’t the neat freak that Adam was but he wasn’t messy like some other guys he’d hooked up with. His soulless depression pit didn’t count, it wasn’t exactly a fair representation of how Jakob liked to keep himself. Back then his hair was unkempt, his face was unshaven. He’d go a few days at least before he managed to pour himself into a shower. Depression was hard, but Adam saw him anyways. Jakob would never forget that. “When.” Jakob repeated with a smile, “Alright, a toothbrush. Sure. Do I get my own drawer in that dresser of yours too?” Not that it mattered, he was wearing one of Adam’s sweaters right now.

Gabriel moved a little closer, curiosity winning over anything else, “What if I said…I could tell you more for a kiss?” The incubus pulled another book from the shelf, but he held this one hostage against his chest.

-

This was harmless, right? Jakob had only recently gotten his soul back and his magic, if this librarian was able to help him then shouldn’t he go for it? Nothing was written in stone between him and Adam, so harmless, right? “You can’t be serious.” Jakob said instead, not saying no. He was blushing, a fact that maybe betrayed him a bit. The witch eyed the book, “What do you know?”

[jakobxtheler]

adcmgreen​:

     Jakob’s words caused a loud laugh to spill over Adam’s lips, and he shook his head as he gave Jakob’s shoulder a little nudge. “Yeah, you’re right, why do I even ask?”, he went along with the joke. But then he leaned forward to kiss Jakob, a kiss full of happiness and maybe excitement for what was to come. “Then tell everyone about your handsome boyfriend. I will do the same. And I would love to meet your roommate. I uh… sort of already told one of my friends that I like you. I hope that was okay.”

-

“Yeah of course.” Jakob shrugged it off like it was no big deal but there was a quiet part of his brain that was doing somersaults at the fact that Adam was talking about him to others. It made him feel almost... Proud in a way. Possessed in a very healthy sense of the word. “What’s next, you gonna ask me to move in with you?” Jakob asked jokingly, he still didn’t want to move too quickly, the sex between them was great. He liked how he felt around Adam and how the two of them got along, but obviously they’d only known each other a couple months and Jakob still wasn’t convinced that the detective wasn’t a secret serial killer. His place was too... Put together. Jakob just wanted to leave the dirty cups in the sink and see if Adam’s eye started twitching. 

[jakobxtheler]

adcmgreen​:

     Adam took a seat on the couch next to Jakob, and he took a sip of his coffee that he almost choked on at Jakob’s question. Not because he hadn’t thought about it before, but because he hadn’t expected it right now. The human had been held back from asking the same question by two things: Jakob wanting to take it slow, and his own track record with relationships. Putting his cup carefully down onto the coffee table in front of the couch, he moved closer and ran his thumb along the witch’s cheekbone. “I would love nothing more than to call you my boyfriend. If you want to take that step, I’m on board.”

-

“Yeah I mean, after swallowing all your kids I’m practically Adam-by-injection.” Jakob joked, “But yeah, I mean. I’d like to tell people who ask that we’re a thing. You should meet my roommate, Violet, She’s my best friend and she’s going to kill me when she finds out I’ve been keeping you from her.” That was probably dramatic but still, nothing really ever felt real until he told his best friend about it. 

[jakobxtheler]

adcmgreen​:

     When Adam woke up and found the bed next to him empty, for a moment he expected Jakob to be gone. He was still getting used to all of this, in a good way. In the span of a week he had gotten used to falling asleep with his arm wrapped around a warm body. Still half-asleep he made his way into the living room, a smile blooming on his lips when he saw Jakob on the couch. “Morning,” he greeted back, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of the other’s head.”Thanks, I really need some coffee.” He picked up the cup before he sat down next to Jakob. “Did you sleep well?”

-

One look at Adam appearing from inside the bedroom and Jakob thought maybe his throat just hurt because something had been smashing against the back of it so frequently lately. The smell of coffee permeated the space between them, and as Adam pressed a kiss to the top of his head a lazy, lopsided grin formed at the corner of Jakob’s mouth. “Yeah you put me right out last night.” Jakob remarked, this was all new territory for him, sleeping over, being -something- to anyone “You never asked me officially, so guess I’ll do it. Does this... Are we... You know, like, official?” Because this was the 1960′s and Jakob needed to know if they were going steady.

Gabriel studied the other for a few moments, debating on whether or not to trick the witch out of a kiss just to feel what his soul was like. He’d slept with genasi and witches before, but this ones magic was different. He held the book in his hand, raising an eyebrow, “You take this witchcraft stuff seriously, don’t you?” Gabriel hummed, “I mean, there’s all sorts of witchcraft. You should talk to the Occult teacher, Henry. He stops by every now and then. But besides blood or voodoo, I’m not sure what you mean.”

-

“Call me a witch nerd.” Jakob offered sheepishly, he had to remind himself that he had a boyfriend, or a something anyways. Someone that the witch was serious about anyways. Henry didn’t ring any bells, but if he was a teacher of occult studies here in Corinth then he was maybe bound to have some kind of clue. Though how much Jakob could actually reveal to him was... Well, unclear. “He works at the University? Yeah, maybe I’ll track him down. Does he got a last name?”

“Maybe you should seek him out. He might have answers that he could give you. Did you catch his name?” Violet could also go sleuthing on her own, on Jakob’s behalf. She wants to know what’s happening with him likely almost as much as he does, if it’s something that puts her best friend in danger. And aside from that, this could potentially affect witches as a whole. She’d like to have as much information as possible, if that’s the case. “We kind of are at the magic epicenter of the world here. There’s gotta be something to explain what this is.” Maybe the library will have something of use, in order to identify whatever this is that’s become of Jakob. 

-

“No um, just Phoenix I think.” The night was kind of a blur, but the man hadn’t introduced himself. “He just... saved me, and then took off.” Jakob looked around the room again, thankful to have something akin to a home base, and grateful too that he could share this with Violet. She’d always meant the world to him, before they had been boyfriend and girlfriend they were best friends. After everything he was glad that they’d never lose that. “I can’t help but think there must be others like me, you know? And this power... I don’t know, I want to get a handle on it. Really see what I can do. It’s exciting, right?” Maybe it was the new soul talking, but Jakob felt alive for the first time in months.

Half-dressed and on Adam’s couch, Jakob sat with a cup of coffee already brewed in front of him. They’d had a no sleepover rule before but seeing as how Jakob had slept over just about every night this week, that was all well and in the past. “Morning sleepy head,” Jakob greeted, he’d woken up early to make coffee for the other man, still a bit sore from the night before he imagined that Adam maybe needed to sleep in. The witch felt like maybe he was starting to come down with something, the back of his throat was scratchy and he’d woken up with a bit of a headache. Jakob thought maybe it was because he’d been practicing his magic so much recently but usually that just made him feel a bit tired. “there’s coffee on the counter.”

“Fuck slow.” Jakob said as the witch’s hands fisted into the front of Adam’s shirt and he roughly pulled the man forward to claim his lips once again. It had been well over a month now since they’d been intimate, maybe even two, it was hard to keep track but he felt power in his veins and life in his chest and he was tired of playing at slow. He wanted to share this vigor with Adam and hungrily he devoured the officer’s lips as he shifted to straddle his waist. Jakob reached beside Adam and pushed his seat handle so he could push the man back, a confident grin on his face. “Fuck me instead.” 

     Adam was not about to complain — he couldn’t remember ever seeing someone for so long without having sex. It had been a small form of torture, to be able to be close to Jakob but not quite go all the way. There was certainly some pent up sexual frustration inside of him, and he was ready to get it out. But he had also promised to do this right, to go at Jakob’s pace — he had more or less been waiting for the other to just give him a sign. A grin spread over his lips, his hands on the other’s waist as he pulled him closer and pressed an almost desperate kiss to his lips as he started undoing his pants. “Thank God, I thought you’d never say that again.”

Violet wishes she had an answer to give him, but this is just as foreign to her as it is to Jakob. This kind of magic is something she’s never seen before, and she likes to think herself decently well versed in the kind of magic that pertains to witches. “Jake, I’ve never heard of anything like that before.” Being able to control shadows? That shouldn’t be something they can do, not really. “Why would your magic change?” His soul is back, that should mean that his magic is back to normal, shouldn’t it? “Do you think it’s something the Phoenix did to you?” That’s also something Violet has never heard of them being capable of before, but there is no other reason coming to mind for how this could have happened to him.

-

“Maybe?” Truthfully Jakob didn’t know, maybe it was something with the phoenix’s fire and his own fire element not meshing but that seemed like a stretch. “I don’t know- and truthfully there’s hardly anything on phoenixes or cubi even out there.” He planned to go to the library in the morning and kick over whatever stones he could but Jakob didn’t exactly have his hopes up that it was going to bear any fruit. “But I feel like... I dunno, if anywhere is gonna have an answer to what’s going on with me it’ll be here.”

“Cubi?” Kasey echoed the word, shaking her head. “No, it was a lady. Her name is Thalia, but she’s gone now.” She waved her hand casually, “But it’s back. It’s not so quiet anymore.” She wrinkled her nose with a smile, tipping her chin at the spirit that lingered near them, eager to be a part of their conversation. Settling down on the stone ground, the witch tucked her legs under her, poking at the markings from what seemed to be a hundred other similar rites in the same place. There was power there, it made sense that other magic users had been drawn to it. “It’s different, but—“ pale brows tugged in. “Not wrong. No more air, but I can play with shadows. The stars talk to me again, and,” she let out a breath. “I’m not as sad. I think I’d rather have anything over being sad like that again, wouldn’t you?”

-

“Yeah, sounds like she was a succubus.” Jakob said, “Cubi is the plural and gender-neutral term for them.” The witch offered. This person’s approach to what had happened them felt almost juvenile by comparison, like he was looking at it through a child-like lens that somehow made it all the more palatable. Sad didn’t quite cover it, the months he spent without his soul were... “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t get my soul back. That’s what she took from you, not just your magic. Your soul. It’s how they feed.” Jakob said further as he drew his attention back towards the spell he was weaving, one hand over the other as he delicately folded the slippery magic together. Gradually he could feel himself getting the hang of it. “Anything is better than how I felt before, all this- it has to mean something.”

[jakobxtheler]

adcmgreen​:

     It had been a test, or maybe a way to ask for permission for more. Adam had never exactly done it. Even with his two ex-boyfriends they had just sort of gone over from having too much sex to having too much sex in a relationship. He had never taken anything slow, or handled someone with as much care. But he wanted to do this right, and if only this one time. Still, he returned Jakob’s kisses with just as much fervor, and it took everything out of the human to somewhat control himself. His hand on Jakob’s hip pulled the other closer, but he still made a point out of breaking the kiss to grin against the witch’s lips. “I thought you wanted to take things slow. This does not feel slow,” he teased playfully.

-

“Fuck slow.” Jakob said as the witch’s hands fisted into the front of Adam’s shirt and he roughly pulled the man forward to claim his lips once again. It had been well over a month now since they’d been intimate, maybe even two, it was hard to keep track but he felt power in his veins and life in his chest and he was tired of playing at slow. He wanted to share this vigor with Adam and hungrily he devoured the officer’s lips as he shifted to straddle his waist. Jakob reached beside Adam and pushed his seat handle so he could push the man back, a confident grin on his face. “Fuck me instead.” 

[jakobxtheler]

adcmgreen​:

     “I was aware that you like it,” Adam teased, running his fingers through Jakob’s hair as he looked at the other. “Are you really going to blame me for wanting to catch the bad guys after what happened to me?” Because that had really been his main intention behind becoming a cop – after he had almost been killed by a monster, he wanted to prevent that from happening again. But whatever tease, whatever silly argument had been brought up, it all ebbed away at the witch’s next words. Adam’s exterior softened, and his eyes fell to Jakob’s lips before he leaned in to brush a kiss against his lips. It didn’t last long, more fleeting than anything else, but it still put a smile on his lips. “I’m happy to hear that.”

-

Truthfully Jakob had to wonder how many supernaturals ended up behind bars, the worst of the kind that Adam spoke of went down one way -  with a stake through their chest. At least, that’s what Jakob always thought. He wanted to ask if there was a way of holding the big bad out there, or if it really was all just fury and vengeance for them but Jakob didn’t get a chance. Adam brushed his lips against his, short, sweet, but it was over too soon. “That was cheap.” The witch said simply before he tugged roughly at the front of Adam’s shirt and pulled their lips together again, each pass of his mouth against the other teemed with the yearning he felt for the other. Jakob had never done this before, not seriously anyways. It had always been in the back of some club, or some guy’s car that he connected with over a faceless app. What they had was real, significant and the more Jakob tasted fo Adam’s tongue the more he wanted to devour him whole. 

[jakobxtheler]

adcmgreen​:

      “Oh, shut up.” As Jakob started talking he couldn’t stop himself from breaking into a laugh – it was questionably easy to laugh with the other, and he playfully gave Jakob’s head a nudge with his own. “Then again, I’m sure you’ve written about nothing else but me in your journal, right? Probably tried out all the possible name combinations, lamented about my great dick,” he teased, his eyes scanning the other’s features to hopefully catch the smile he could bring to it with his words. “Hey, I don’t have to be the only reason you’re staying. But as long as you’re staying, I’m happy.”

-

“Your big dick is your best feature.” Jakob pointed out good-naturedly, the fact that Adam was a cop was an obvious red flag but nobody was perfect. The witch was clearly evidence of that much. “It’s so good that I’m willing to look past the fact that you willfully decided to become an officer.” He added, his smile bright and easy. It had been a long time since he’d felt so at ease with someone, that was what he loved about spending time with Adam. It was easy, simple. Even though neither of them were anything but complicated. “Still,” he said simply as his smile faltered, his eyes sincere, “you’re a factor.” 

[jakobxtheler]

adcmgreen​:

     So what was the better fate? A dad who was an asshole, or an absent father? Adam didn’t think one was better than the other in the end – every child deserved loving parents, but it just wasn’t in store for everyone. And he had gotten used to it. Part of him figured maybe that was why so much in his life had gone wrong. Why he had gotten addicted, why he almost died, why he fell for the wrong guys. But since coming to Greece, things had sort of fallen into place. He liked being a cop, he had friends here, a place to sleep. And now… there was Jakob, whatever that meant. So the news of the other’s mom wanting him to come home ignited a weird feeling in the human’s chest he couldn’t quite place. “I wouldn’t hold you back if you really wanted to go home, but I’ll be honest and say I think I’d miss you here. I… like having you in my life.”

-

“Oh yeah?” Jakob teased, that was what every guy wanted to hear wasn’t it - that someone liked having them around. He was only being cheeky but Adam made it easy. “I’ll be sure to journal that later, or maybe I’ll throw it up on the whiteboard, create a t-chart with pros and cons: Adam likes having me in his life.” The witch idly watched the other’s lips as he spoke before dark eyes darted up to greet hues that mirrored his own - though were somehow even darker. “It’s okay,” Jakob offered, “I like being around you too. You’re not the only reason I’m staying, I mean I like it here. But, you know. You’re a factor.” 

[jakobxtheler]

adcmgreen​:

     Parents. Not a good topic for Adam, but considering how much of himself he had already bared to Jakob, did it really matter anymore? He exhaled a deep sigh, fingers brushing through the other man’s hair as he tried to think about where to start. “I don’t know my dad. He was just some one night stand my mom had in law school. And my mom… didn’t want me. But my grandparents wouldn’t let her have an abortion, so she had me anyway, but I was just – a nuisance, you know? She wanted to study, live her life, become a great lawyer. I was an obstacle that she was trying to get rid of, or at least ignore. I haven’t spoken to her since I was eighteen.” A crooked smile appeared on his lips as he glanced over at Jakob. “We both didn’t luck out that much on the parents front I suppose, but at least you have your mom.”

-

That was a lot. From what Jakob knew of Adam’s last relationship it was pretty clear that the man had never had it easy. A father he never knew, a mother who never wanted him. Maybe he’d have been better off getting put up for adoption. It made Jakob think of his own family, his mother he loved, and a father who tolerated him. Out of sight, out of mind, that was the benefit of being in Greece. “My dad’s an asshole,” Jakob agreed, “but at least he was always there. I never wanted him to be and he’s a selfish image-obsessed prick, but that’s still my old man.” The witch added as he wrung his hands together, “I called my mom after I got my soul back, she wants me to come home. Obviously.” Jakob smiled as his gaze held onto Adam’s, “But I dunno, kind of thinking Greece might be worth sticking around for.”
