It just kind of slipped out, something about the buzz of the pub, the soft light and smoky atmosphere. Not that he hadn’t wanted to say it before, but this one just got past his filter. He had to own it though, he was done being ashamed of himself and the things he wanted. It was a tough battle but he was winning a little more everyday.

He rolled his eyes as he sipped his beer, “I’m not askin for your hand,” he shook his head. “Yes, you, shouldn’t take a world class detective to figure that out, but-“ he gave a shrug and a teasing smil.

Colin rolled his eyes when Ray answered him. Of course that would be something for him to say and he would not get hitched, at all... never in his life. He had seen too much going wrong for that to ever happen. But Ray... he had been there for so long. Been his best friend for so long.

“Ok...” Colin began as he leaned in so that he could look Ray in the eyes. Not a sign of drunkenness so he could rule that out too. “Promise me that nothing will change.” The detective told the other seriously. “I don’t want to loose my best friend over a stupid kiss or a night of great sex.”

They were cold, and hungry, and broke. Stranded in the middle of a city, they couldn’t risk shifting, stealthy as they could be it was too risky. He didn’t like stealing but, desperate times and all that. He wrapped the coat around Alex’s shoulders as he returned to where the other shifter had been waiting for him. “It’s not much but at least now we shouldn’t freeze, and maybe enough to buy something to eat,” he told Alex as he rubbed some warmth into the other cat’s arms.

@mr-lusic

It had been quite a while since Alex had felt like this. On the run, like he had always been when he still had a pack. He still didn’t know the full extent of what had happened, only that Ray had woken him up in the middle of the night to say that they had to go. “It’s ok, I’ll be fine. Nobody saw you?” Alex asked as he huddled a little closer to Ray for the warmth. He bit his lower lip. “Maybe I can sneak us into a motel where we used to come a lot.”

They’d settled into their new house, it was small, nut that meant they didn’t have to share so he didn’t mind. A run in their new backyard seemed just the way to celebrate, being on the edge of town had it’s advantages. What he didn’t expect is to catch the scent of a strange cat just outside the town border, being the hunter that he was, a guard for their town he began to track it until he found his query. Even more of a shock was when Alex suddenly lept to the strange cat’s defense, growling with teeth bared. He backpedaled and hissed in return, not understanding.

@mr-lusic

Alex was happy for the first time in a long time. Ray was nothing less than perfect for him and even if he was not free, he was not always limited to the colony they living in. 

And then a cat showed up on the borders of the town. A familiar scent... he had always known that his pack would return for him, that they had found out that he had been captured. He had no choice but to defend her, hissing at the other cat to go away before turning his attention back to Ray. When the cat was gone Alex calmed down, almost apologetic, and padded inside.

He startled, enough to pull him out of the vision, he wasn’t sure why he thought things would have changed if wasn’t the first time he’d been able to touch Tommy, be touched by Tommy. He felt more alive than ever, but still found himself drawn to his old haunts. He gave the man a tight smile. “Sorry, old habits and all that,” he turned his hand to capture Tommy’s and gave it a soft squeeze.

@mr-lusic

Ray had gotten better in avoiding the trap of going back to his own past. Now that Tommy could touch him it was almost like the ghost was alive again. Except that he wasn’t. “I know, babe.” Tommy whispered, not for the first time reminded that they were sharing just a moment in time. “I was going to bed... want to come with me? I haven’t been cuddled in a while.”  At the start he’d had to concentrate to just touch Ray, by now it went a lot easier.

@mr-lusic liked for a starter from Finn:

Finn couldn’t say that he disliked working at the club, although he still had to get used to all the noise. His first reaction was still to be on all alert and glance around when he heard a particular booming sound. Currently off the clock, he just took a look around the club to see if any of his colleagues were in trouble, before he headed over to the bar.

From the moment they met, Finn had kinda liked the bartender, he was no nonsense and did his job well, didn’t ask too many questions. “A coke for me, thanks Ray.” A quick smile appeared on Finn’s lips at the request, hopping on a stool to rest his sore leg. “Busy night?”

Taking a month off was not without it’s cost, not that it wasn’t worth it, but now Alex had him running around doing dog work. When he saw his phone light up he almost didn’t pick up, just about to head into a bar for what he assumed was going to be a messy pick up but he took it.

the news settled like a bolder in his chest.

“That’s-” disappointing? heartbreaking? frustrating? all of that and more? but that wasn’t what Tommy needed to hear right now. He took a deep breath and settled in the drivers seat of his car. “That’s okay.” he said gently, scrubbing his face with a hand. He frowned because he could hear a shaking in Tommy’s voice that he’s never heard before. “Deep breaths darling, it’s okay, she told us it could take a couple tries. It’s going to be okay Tommy…”

@mr-lusic

Tommy’s heart had been racing when he tried to call Ray. He knew that he shouldn’t while his alpha was at work, but Ray knew that he had gone to see Alice. It seemed the best choice at the time, but not so much now. He was anxious and took a deep breath when Ray told him to, almost forgetting to breathe in waiting for his alpha’s answer.

“It’s not ok.” The omega murmured into the phone. “You should be with someone who can give you what you want instead of all this trouble.” With a deep sigh he glanced at his watch. “Do you have any idea when you will be coming home? I could see to food. Alice has given me new vitamines and the lot, and that we should talk about artificial insemination.”

This deal was slowly killing him. The meeting was supposed to be over by 3, but it dragged on until 6, and in truth this contract should have been settled the week before. Normally it wouldn’t bother him so much, but it was Valentines day and for the first time he actually had someone to spend it with. So much for his dinner reservation.

It still took some getting used to have someone to come home to, it was nice. He let Tommy help him with his things and lead him over to the couch, rubbing his shoulders and pressing a sweet kiss to his cheek. “Well the reservation was for about an hour ago, and seeing as its Valentines day I doubt we’d be able to get a table…” he sighed, maybe they’d take a little trip over the weekend.

“You wouldn’t mind if we just ordered in tonight would you?” He leaned his head back so he could look up at Tommy.

@mr-lusic

“You know very well that I don’t give a damn about something like Valentine’s day.” Tommy replied as he bent his head a little so that he could press a peck to Ray’s lips. “They don’t even have a holiday for it, so it’s kind of silly to make a big deal out of it.” He was perfeclty find with ordering some take out and let Ray kick his feet up.

“Why don’t you...” Pressing another kiss here and there while he spoke, he continued his massage on Rays shoulders. “Get out of that monkey suit of yours and into something more comfortable. I’ll make sure that we get some food and if you want I can make this a full body massage later. Make you completely relaxed before bed. What do you say?”

@mr-lusic continued from here :

Usually Jared loved his life. He owned several clubs all over the world and when he got bored he moved on throughout the continents. He often didn’t have much care in the world. Once in a while someone came along who turned all of that upside down though. Like Ray. A human bartender who made Jared want to reveal himself, his true self. None of that camouflage, just him.

And of course Ray had been scared of him, he should have known. They all were. But Ray had come back to him... which was a surprise all on its own. Jared had spoken more out of frustration than anything else. When you have seen it all, it sometimes was hard to have a feeling of wonder, of amazement, of...

Ray was on him faster than he had thought possible. The kiss was hard and with purpose. Since Jared didn’t need to breathe, it was Ray who pulled back first. “I guess I should say thank you.” The vampire spoke quietly as he cupped Ray’s cheek. “Are you afraid of me, Raymond?”
