There is always a role to play.

“…does showing up to our date with bullet holes in him count?” Mikleo’s expression soured. His voice quiet. He knew that problems came up with their various breeds and such, but still. “…he won’t say a word about his job aside from he runs a business.” Which he wasn’t even sure if it was entirely the case.

Lailah’s eyes went wide for a moment when she heard about Sorey’s injury, then sighed a bit. Deciding to close her laptop to take priority in the conversation “The bullet wound is definitely concerning…even I didn’t know he showed up to the date like that. But if you are looking for an answer about his business and marketing, I can’t give you one besides that you do not have to worry as much as you are. Once he is ready to tell you, he will. I think its more of a trust issue than anything.” Lailah explained, trying not to worry her vampire friend, she reached out and placed her hand on top of his.

” He’s been screwed over in the past, and I think he is just trying to get all his ducks in a row” she smiled gently at Mikleo. “Just try and give him time. Though, if it really does continue to bug you like this…” she trailer off for a moment “I can give you his work address and you can talk to him in person there”

Sorey had taken a few days to rest and work at home for a bit. Letting his leg relax and heal for a bit. Once he could though he went to the office, working on the drug routes and discussing the different interventions with the girls. He also talked about employees there and who to keep and get rid of.

It was later on in the day and Lailah was sitting down with Mikleo, having ordered just a normal coffee as she typed away at her computer. Making all of the arrangements for the next meet and greet for Mikleo.

For a while he just commented idly to his next book signing. After a few minutes, he frowned. “Hey, Lailah? You know…Sorey more personally right?” He knew he’d be distracted the rest of this time with her if he didn’t at least try and talk about it.

“I can tell he’s hiding something…which I know it’s not your place to tell but it’s just aggravating…” Sipping on his coffee he sighed.  

Lailah was just going about her business, typing away at her computer. She looked up at him when he asked and nodded, tapping her chin slightly as she thought about his question.“ Well, has there been anything to happen that has made your interest peak even more? Or perhaps something he said?”

After having left Sorey at the park, Mikleo felt agitated as he went towards his apartment. Why wouldn’t the wolf tell him about his “business”. He could tell there was something going on and knew Sorey obviously didn’t want to discuss it with him. 

After having fed from a human and using his powers to make sure they forgot about it, he left them somewhere safe. After that, he escaped into the shadows and arrived at his apartment. 

[text] Do you know what Sorey’s job is? Or Rose’s for that matter?

[text/dezel] Rose is always vague about it. I mean it doesn’t really matter that much to me personally.

[text] Yeah, and I get that. I just don’t like Sorey beating around the topic…

[text/dezel] …Just leave it be for now. I’ll let you know if I find out anything though. I’ll see you tomorrow, night Mik.

Mikleo sighed as he made some coffee in the kitchen.

Sorey smiled as he watched the other leave, knowing the other was going to be mad that he kept beating around the bush. But it was for his protection. He sighed as his driver came over and helped him to the car, getting into the back seat.

Once home he decided to just take it easy and go to bed. Wanting to give his leg a rest. The swelling starting to come back full force. He was definitely in for a long night

The next few days passed, Mikleo was busy working on his new book. Meeting with Alisha a fair bit and now with Lailah to work out his schedule. Honestly as he met her at the cafe, he didn’t know how to approach talking to her about Sorey. Or if he even should. Or if she would even say anything if he did ask.

Sitting down, he ordered some blood coffee while he waited. 

Sorey had taken a few days to rest and work at home for a bit. Letting his leg relax and heal for a bit.

“Well maybe one day I’ll dig it out for you. Though, if I’m being honest, I was way too embarrassed to ever publish it. I named it Mad Screams of Love.” Angst. Lots of angst and emotions being loudly displayed on those pages. He could only think to call it mad. 

“I’ll be all right. I have to make a stop on the way. But we can see each other again soon? After you’ve properly rested and healed from your wound.”

“Well I will be waiting for that day” he chuckled as he moved to stand up, though you could tell the pain was starting to come back into his leg. He would probably wait somewhere close by for his driver to get here ans help him in.

“Yeah of course! Maybe you could come over to my house some time as well, play nurse” he teased and gave him a soft elbow to the side. “Just make sure you stay safe tonight and don’t let the normies see you” he said, a slight serious but fond tone adopted with the phrase

luzrovsoulrulay​:

Mikleo had already gathered that information, but nodded. “Well, did you know I have a book of poetry that was never published? Like I wrote them. Just never decided to publish them.”

It did still nag him that he didn’t know much else about Sorey’s job other than he ran his own business. However, he didn’t want to force anything. Continuing to let his hand flow and play with the water, Mikleo gazed down at the fountain. 

There was a gnawing feeling in his throat. The usual itch he had whenever he was hungry. Unfortunately, he may have to cut their date short so he can go…drink for himself. Usually, at home he had blood bags and other items he could feast on. He could and did occasionally find a passerby to feed from. Though, honestly he hated it. He knew it was a necessity though. Mikleo always made sure to leave them somewhere safe after. Due to his powers, the humans never remembered anyway.  

“I might have to leave soon. Need to eat myself…”

“I didn’t know! That would be so cool to read!” He grinned as he sat close to the other. He wanted to be truthful with the other, but he knew he shouldn’t for his own safety as well as Mikleo’s.

When the other stated his need, he nodded in understanding. Knowing it was necessary for him. “That’s alright. Do you want me to give you a lift home?” He smiled

luzrovsoulrulay​:

Sorey glanced over at the other, seeing that small distant smile. He frowned a bit as he moved to sit down with him, a small relief to the growing pain in his leg.

he watched him play with the water, reaching over and gently holding his other hand, running his thumb over the top of it gently. “I don’t think I’m as wrong as you think I am in that regard” he chuckled and held his hand.

“I’m not talking about the confidence to do anything and everything, you are confident in your own way. You published your own books, take pride in your writing. You were confident enough to ask me out on a first date. Even were the first one to ask what we were together just now.” He said, a smile on his face aa he tries to lift the others self confidence and spirit.

“I know you are shy, and not as loud and outgoing as I am. I also know you don’t like crowed spaces like clubs and what not. But you are much more confident than you think you are”

“Well, in our case, I kind of felt this vibe going. So I probably wouldn’t have asked if we didn’t seem to click so well at first…” Mikleo explained, though honestly Sorey was just making him feel more self conscious. 

“If you say so…” Mikleo didn’t really think himself confident though, even with Sorey trying to defend the case. “Anyway, new topic. Tell me something about yourself you haven’t shared yet.” Glancing back to Sorey’s eyes with a neutral gaze. He truly did just want to know more about him. 

Sorey frowned when he saw the other go into his shell more, deciding to drop the topic. He moved to rub the others back as he sat next to him. When the other asked the question it took him a good bit to respond. Not exactly knowing what to tell the other.

“Um….that’s a good question” he chuckled and rubbed the back of his head “I mean, I run my own business so there is that. I’m pretty social and outgoing. I try to make friends with everyone I meet or at least leave a good impression” he babbled on, not exactly knowing what to tell the other. Not wanting to let him know just how crazy his life was.

he didn’t make straight eye contact with the other as he explained, trying to find how to explain everything without actually telling Mikleo everything. Granted its not like the other would actually believe him though.

Sorey walked along side Mikleo, fairing far better than earlier given that he was feeling better thanks to the medicine. When the other looked back at him and asked the question, he just chuckled. Moving to wrap his arm around the others. Rubbing his side as he spoke. “Well, to put it bluntly; no. But not in a bad way” he smiled and kissed just under his ear.

“I always thought that the person writing the books always wrote as a way to create their own adventure. As they didn’t have the courage to do so themselves. So they shifted realities in a sense to live in their utopian world. When I met you though, you’re this confident, outgoing person. Who knows what he wants and needs, so he goes after it” he smiled and glanced over at him. Staying close to him.

Confident and outgoing? Sorey didn’t know him very well at all yet. “You…might have been more right with what you said first.” Mikleo’s smile was sad as his gaze was distant. “I’ve done my research and utilized other’s experiences visiting some of the places to write as best as I can. I would love to visit the places that I’ve written about though. As well as other places.”

“I’m not outgoing…and my confidence is far between if I’m being honest.” Finding a spot on the fountain rim, he sat down. His hand reaching down and playing with the water. 

Sorey glanced over at the other, seeing that small distant smile. He frowned a bit as he moved to sit down with him, a small relief to the growing pain in his leg.

he watched him play with the water, reaching over and gently holding his other hand, running his thumb over the top of it gently. “I don’t think I’m as wrong as you think I am in that regard” he chuckled and held his hand.

Once outside, Mikleo walked with Sorey over to the nearest park. Staring up at the night sky and the stars. He didn’t really say much as they moved around. Glancing back at Sorey, he smiled gently. “Do I meet your expectations then? Seeing as you’ve read my books for a while.” 

Sorey walked along side Mikleo, fairing far better than earlier given that he was feeling better thanks to the medicine. When the other looked back at him and asked the question, he just chuckled. Moving to wrap his arm around the others. Rubbing his side as he spoke. “Well, to put it bluntly; no. But not in a bad way” he smiled and kissed just under his ear.

Who knows what he wants and needs, so he goes after it” he smiled and glanced over at him. Staying close to him.

luzrovsoulrulay​:

“Mmm, yeah that sounds good. But will you be all right? You should probably go home and rest.” Not that he wanted Sorey and his date to end but still. Sorey did need to rest still to heal even if he would be healed fairly quickly. 

Getting up, he moved some things around and left money and a tip for the server on the table. 

“I should be fine. It doesn’t hurt right now so it will be fine” he smiled and rubbed the others back as he stood up. Stretching and leaving a tip as well. Moving to help pay for the food before he held his hand out to the other, rubbing his back

luzrovsoulrulay​:

Mikleo was okay with the current touching and wandering of Sorey’s hands and lips. The werewolf’s gestures. Though, he really didn’t want anything further to happen as of yet. 

Nodding, he felt like Sorey was teasing him. Flushed still, Mikleo pouted.  “I do know how to do this.” Not very well though. “But this is nice.” He hoped with that comment Sorey got the point that the current status was okay with him. 

Placing his hand over Sorey’s in his hair, he hummed quietly. “Are you having a good time too?”

Sorey leaned his forehead against the others, taking the hint he didn’t want to go any further. He just moved to kiss the other again gently. Keeping the hand in his hair with a smile. “Of course I am. How could I not be?” He smiled and ran his hand over the others back gently.

“If you’re ready, we can go ahead and leave, maybe go for a walk or something” he explained as he hugged him close by the waist.

Sorey gave a small chuckle as he held Mikleo close to his chest. Rubbing his side as he kept close to him. Lips hovering ever so slightly over the vampires. He saw the flush to his face, reaching up and stroking his fingers through the others hair. Pushing the white locks back out of his face. Moving to lean over to the side his pushed back and kiss right under his ear. Pulling him a bit closer as he did. “Glad to know you learn quickly” he teased.

he was being careful and mindful of where he kissed and placed his hands. Not wanting to make the other uncomfortable or push him into anything. Wanting him to know he had the option to tell Sorey to stop at any time.

luzrovsoulrulay​:

“Well, then…” Mikleo had kissed Sorey back, now leaning his head against the werewolf’s forehead. “As your new boyfriend, I’m asking that you try and take it a little easy and get some rest in. You’ll heal quicker and then you can get back to your busy schedule.”

Moving to kiss Sorey once again, his fangs biting gently on his companion’s bottom lip. Realizing he did that, he backed off. “Ah, sorry…” He didn’t intend to bite him. Some people didn’t react well to his fangs. He knew Sorey wasn’t like that but still. 

Sorey sighed when Mikleo pulled the boyfriend card, knowing he was gonna do that. He moved to gently wrap his arms around the others waist. Pulling him close with a gentle smile, at least happy the other cared so much. “Okay fine, I will for as long as I can”

He kissed the other back, pulling him closer slightly by his waist as he did. He felt the fangs to his lip, causing a different emotion to stir up a bit. Of course nothing bad with it. When the other pulled away from the kiss and turned, he gently reached up and grasped his chin. Just every so lightly with the side of his index under, guiding him to look back over. Kissing him once again" Who said you had to be sorry?“ He whispered, just barely having pulled away from the vampires lips.

Sorey gave a small chuckle as he held Mikleo close to his chest. Rubbing his side as he kept close to him. Lips hovering ever so slightly over the vampires. He saw the flush to his face, reaching up and stroking his fingers through the others hair. Pushing the white locks back out of his face. Moving to lean over to the side his pushed back and kiss right under his ear. Pulling him a bit closer as he did. "Glad to know you learn quickly" he teased.

he was being careful and mindful of where he kissed and placed his hands. Not wanting to make the other uncomfortable or push him into anything. Wanting him to know he had the option to tell Sorey to stop at any time.

luzrovsoulrulay​:

“Well, that’s good. So…” Mikleo looked down at Sorey, his hair falling into his face as he did so. “Are you going to take it easy until you’re recovered? Or will I have to instruct Lailah to make sure you do?” Well, the thought of checking on Sorey himself did cross his mind but there were still so many questions between them. Not enough answers. As well as their whatever this was–possible relationship–was just starting.

“Also, what do you think? Should we consider ourselves dating, because I would like that but…”

Sorey leaned into the others hand and closed his eyes. Happy that the other was happy. When the first question was asked he gave a small chuckle “I will more likely than not still try and work. I have a lot to do and little time to do it” he explained and reached up, pushing Mikleo’s hair back from his face.

When the question of them dating came up, he just gave a smile and leaned up, locking lips with the other. Being gentle not to spook him as he kept a hand on the back of his head. After a few minutes of kissing the other he pulled away, gently leaned his forehead against the others “I would love to be your boyfriend Mikleo”

Sorey nodded as he listened to the other explain about his day, smiling as he listened about the house. Leaning back in his seat with a smile. “Its sounds quite beautiful. Definitely one that I would go for for sure” he grinned and looked over at the server who came in with their food.

He thanked them before gently taking a bite of his own. “How did Dezel like it? Any complaints from him?” He jokes and smiled

“Actually, he liked it a lot. Granted I should have assumed he would have an opinion. Seeing as he is always at my place. This way though he can have his own room and I don’t have to worry about him coming into my room with Rose. Or on the couch anymore…” Mikleo sighed as he then sipped on his blood coffee. “How do you like the food?”

Sorey laughed and moved to kiss the others hand gently when he heard that last part, knowing the other hated having to watch them. When the other asked about his food he just nodded with a smile. “It tastes great. Probably one of the best ones I have had” he grinned

luzrovsoulrulay​:

“It’s on the beach, a condo.” Mikleo pulled his phone out to show some pictures as he described about the place. He and Dezel would have bedrooms upstairs, a bathroom for each room as well. The main level had an open floor kitchen and living room area. There were windows, but when it was light out, Mikleo could put up and use his blackout curtains.

“Well, it’s on the cliff that looks over the beach. There’s a path that leads from it down to the water though. An awning for my car to go under. That kind of stuff.” Ideally Mikleo would love to have a room for his books, a library if you will. He would just have to see. he’s also have to figure out a good writing space as well. 

Their food and beverages came then. Mikleo sipped at his blood coffee as his date’s platter of food was sat down. 

Sorey nodded as he listened to the other explain about his day, smiling as he listened about the house. Leaning back in his seat with a smile. “Its sounds quite beautiful. Definitely one that I would go for for sure” he grinned and looked over at the server who came in with their food.

He thanked them before gently taking a bite of his own. “How did Dezel like it? Any complaints from him?” He jokes and smiled

“Not if I can protect others” he smiled and leaned into his hand and closed his eyes. Staying close to Mikleo and holding his hand. He moved to cuddle close to the other as be spoke “How has your day gone so far? How did you like the house?” He asked and glanced up at him

“I liked it. Dezel did too.” Seeing as Dezel would be having a room for himself in this new house. “I went ahead and had the agent put in the offer today. So, I’ll hear back soon about it.”

Sorey nodded as he listened to the other talk, moving to sit up slowly and stretch. It did hurt his leg a bit but it was fine. He nodded and glanced over at him with a smile “What all did it have?” He asked wanting to know more about the others day
