Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina popped the remaining half of the strawberry she had just fished out of her dress into her mouth and finished it off quickly. She then licked her lips and moaned softly in pleasure at the taste. ??Mmm yes I prefer it to the rough hack and slash of a sword. Archery has a grace and style that I like. ? She nodded slightly smiling at the other girl not realizing how much she had been showing off. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Her blush darkened hearing Lyina moan, even if it was for the tast of the strawberry."The sword has its own grace" She replied "But only in a skilled masters hands...Master Link's sword was almost an extension of himself...when he fought it had been difficult to separate the sword from his arm".The blade was not rough, it was just as graceful as archery but one needed the right training."So...tell me..." She started to say but their conversation was cut short by a guard bursting into the hall clutching his side."R run...get...get out of here" He said weakly "The..castle...danger". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina did run, to the guard. ??Your hurt come over here. ? she helped the man over to the table and pushing the food off she forced him to lay down. The man was trying his best to stop her but she opened his armor to look at the wound and her brows knit together, the wound was very bad but she started her best to treat it.The guard looked back at Mira, ??You ? ha ? have ? to get the ? get her out of here. ? |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira's stood as Lyina rushed to the guard her mind was racing with thoughts of what was transpiring in the castle."What happened...where's the queen" She said going to kneel beside the knight "Who attacked you".The knight was hurt bad and the wound would probably prove fatal. She looked at Lyina and thought about what to do. If she rushed of to guard the queen it left Lyina vulnerable, but she couldn't run off and leave the queen either."Get out of here...the queen surrendered...to protect..." He coughed "Just run...". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina bites her lip hard almost to the point of making it bleed itself. She could see there was no way to save this man but that almost made her try harder to save him. her hand pressed down on the wound as she ripped a piece from her dress to stanch the blood with. She pulled the bow and quiver from the man ??s shoulders and looked up as a loud boom was heard outside out near the main gate. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira heard it to and straightened drawing her sword. Seeing Lyina grab the bow and quiver she shook her head."Princess...I'm going to escort you out of the castle" She said to her "If this man speaks true...there is nothing else we can do".She hated the words as they came out of her mouth but if it meant keeping the princess safe she'd speak them. Link had told her of Zelda's self sacrificing nature but it was a hard bit of medicine to swallow. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina slowly stood up from the guard ??s lifeless body putting the bloody quiver on her shoulder and stringing the bow. ??You can run if you want to, hero. But I am not letting some monster get his hands on my mother and my kingdom. ? she drew a arrow and headed for the door about to pull it open and rush out into the court yard to confront this menace. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira grabbed her arm and stopped her."You're mother surrendered...that means she couldn't beat whoever is attacking" She said softly but smiled "If you want to fight...well I'm going to have to join in...let's go".She opened the door herself and stepped into the hall glancing around for attackers. It wouldn't be good to lose her wits and charge in blindly."Just don't get hurt princess" She added as she ran towards the courtyard. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina was not really happy with the fact that Mira was coming along, yet at the same time she knew that it would be foolish to go in without backup. The moment they were out in the court yard already they were being faced with enemies. Flying through the air were large grotesque beings that she had never before seen in her life. they seemed to have no wings or other form of lift and yet they stayed in the air and could even stand still in one spot. The few guards that were trying to still make a stand against them were being blasted by heat or ice and often switching between both as one monster would move on to be replaced by another one. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira almost gulped seeing these things, she wasn't great at fighting flying creatures and the bow wasn't her strong suit. Then again she wouldn't back down...not if it cost her life to fight."Princess" She said softly "Don't do anything reckless...your mother would kill me if you got hurt".Pulling the shield from its binds across her sheathe she prepared to fight. This wasn't going to be easy but still she charged into the fight. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Air born opponents were no problem for Lyina as she pulled back on her bow lining up and taking a quick shot at one of the flying monsters. There was only one problem, her shot was true and perfect flying right for her enemy, but even though it struck its target it did nothing but make the monster look down. It was clear that they monsters were protected from mundane weapons. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira gripped her blade tighter as she watched the arrow fail to harm the monsters. They needed something...stronger but she had no clue where to get it."I should have brought dad's quiver...but I left it...on" She said softly then exclaimed "EPONA".She brought her shield up for protection then pulled out the small whistle. Blowing three short bursts she turned to Lyina as Epona galloped towards them."Princess...take the quiver from Epona" She yelled "But make the shots count...there're only ten left". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina looked over at the horse smiling a little as she recognized the color and build from stories her mother had told. She came over and lightly brushed the beautiful horses nose before taking the magic quiver from the saddle. Pulling one of the magic blessed arrows from the quiver she lined up yet another shot striking and killing one of the monsters that was closing on Mira. ??Ten shots aren ??t going to make much of a difference hero! ? |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | "That's why I said make them count" She replied as Epona galloped over to her.Hoping it would get her higher up so she could hit the monsters she climbed onto Epona. Aiming a slash upward she nicked one of the creatures but didn't get an exact hit."Damnit...still not high enough" She growled "How are we gonna beast these things...". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina held her arrows for ones that she knew she could hit but still she would run out quickly. She looked hastily around that was when she saw something that took her breath away. Just now coming over the wall was a monster unlike any that she had ever seen ? it was taller than the castle and the aura of evil that it gave off was oppressive. In one hand the giant held princess Zelda limp and clearly out cold. ??MOTHER!! ? |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira whirled Epona around and looked up at the giant beast."NO...MAJESTY!!!" She exclaimed as she saw the unconcious Zelda "YOU...BASTARD...LEAVE HER ALONE!!!".She kicked Epona's haunches and aimed her toward the monster. There was no way she'd let her father down, she had to save the queen."Come on...you're helping" She said grabbing Lyina and pulling her up onto Epona's back "We can't let he be taken away". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina was for the first time in agreement with Mira and pulled up to make her mounting faster. She notched another arrow and pulled back on the string. It was then that the arrow started to glow with a bright yellow light like that of the sun. Lyina didn ??t hardly noticed as she lined up the arrow. Loosing the shaft it flew steady and true right for the creature ??s back. It struck but the creature barely even flinched as it turned to look at the annoyance laughing. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | She was shocked seeing that the arrow didn't work. That was impossible, those were light arrows they'd been given to her father by one of the spirits."Damnit...what the hell is this thing" She said angrilly then she noticed something about it.The giant looked like someone her father had once told her about. A man from the once great Gerudo tribe, but that was impossible there was no way he could still be alive."That can't be Ganon" She said softly shaking her head "There's no way". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | ??What? ? Lyina hadn ??t heard all that had been said by the other girl but she had understood one word. Gannon. She gasped as the bow dropped to her side, there was no other giant like Gannon out there, only he had the power to level the castle like this. There was no way that it could be anyone else, only Gannon could do everything that she was seeing. ??There is nothing we can do ? . ? Lyina had lost all hope, there was nothing that the two of them could do against someone as powerful as Gannon. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | She registered the princess's words and knew she was right, but she couldn't just stop and give in to him."No...I can't let him win" She said "There has to be a way".This was only a set back, there was a way to beat him. Her father had, why couldn't she...someone had to know another way."I'm not going to give up" She said spurring Epona forward "I'll kill him...Princess...take the reigns". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | ??Mira ? no you can ??t ? that was all that Lyina could say before she was forced to take the reigns as Mira did what ever it was she thought she could. Lyina first had been shocked that the arrow had glowed with light, but that had only shocked her more when it didn ??t work. Even against Gannon light arrows should have worked, they were some of the only things that did work against him. if some how Gannon had become so powerful as to be immune to Light arrows, then would even the master sword work on him? |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira didn't have the option of using the master sword like her father had, he'd returned it to the temple of time once he'd vanished."Get somewhere safe once I dismount" Mira said as Epona closed in on Gannon "I don't want you caught in the crossfire".Drawing her sword she raised up onto Epona's saddle and leapt over her head. Going into a roll she regained her momentum and charged Gannon not sure what good it'd do, but she wouldn't quit just because of his size."You're mine big boy" She said as she ran up his tail in the hopes of at least getting a good whack at his head. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | The giant looked over his shoulder at the little girl rushing at him and laughed deeply before swinging hard with his fist that didn ??t hold Zelda and knock the girl off her feet.Lyina was off Epona just as fast as Mira told her to be but that wasn ??t fast enough to miss what happened to the would be hero. She dropped to the ground and then rushed to the hero. ??Mira are you ok? ? |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | She'd tried to block the blow with her sword but with such force the blade practically shattered. As the fist collided the rest of the way with her body bringing several metal shards with it she cried out in pain. The next thing she knew air was rushing past her as she descended to the ground."No...dad...why couldn't I even make a dent" She said softly before her backed slammed into the ground causing her to bounce once.She knew for certain she wouldn't be able to move at the moment but at least she was concious."Lyina..." She groaned softly "Damn...I guess...I'm not strong enouh".She tried to laugh but ended up coughing and sputtering."Aw hell..." She sighed "I'm fine...just get me to one of the spirit springs".She'd seen the miracles those had worked on her father's injuries and even Epona's, the spiritual power in them was tremendous. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina shook her head slowly, ??Heros. ? With a sharp whistle of three notes that Lyina had heard most of her life since Malon had still be delivering milk to the castle. Epona came rushing over to them and Lyina helped Mira up onto Epona ??s back before she climbed up herself.Taking one last look over her shoulder, Lyina saw her mother in the hand of Gannon. She was awake now and it was like time froze. Zelda looked down at the two girls, ??Run! ? And Lyina kicked Epona into a full gallop leaving the life and world she knew behind her in the hands of the greatest enemy that Hyrule had ever faced. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira grasped the reigns and wrapped thenm around her arm despite the pain. Hyrule was lost, there was no way she could beat this thing especially not without a sword."Thank you..." She mumbled once she was on the horse.Looking up at the creature she gritted her teeth this couldn't be the end. As they galloped off on Epona's back she looked to Zelda and saw she was awake. She lowered her head in shame at her weakness before looking back up at the queen."This isn't the end" She said afraid of raising her voice higher "We'll come back for you Majesty...I promise".While she was still concious she directed Lyina to the spring in Faron Woods. It was the only one she knew of that was pretty well protected. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina set out for the spring that Mira suggested rushing as fast as she could. Even with Epona the trip would take some time. She sighed and slipped her arms around Mira ??s waist as the rode to make sure that she didn ??t fall off. ??What are we going to do Mira? the castle has been taken and all the army with it ? and if light arrows no longer work on Gannon...will the master sword even work? ? she nuzzled into the other girls back whimpering softly scared of what would happen to them. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira understood Lyina's fears she had them as well, but that didn't mean that they should give up on hope. Her father had beaten Ganon before but could she do the same."I do not know what we'll do now" She said softly "But we can't just give in...".She was trying to keep from passing out on the trip to the spring so she could keep Lyina calm. This wouldn't be easy for her to handle, losing everything she'd known for her entire life."Lyina...we'll find a way...Ganon won't have this kingdom for long" She added.The trip wasn't short in fact it was nightfall before they even made it into the Ordon Province. Mira was slipping in and out of conciousness by the time the entrance to Faron woods could be seen. The spring wasn't far from their position and as soon as Epona rode into the water Mira released the reigns and let herself slip into the shallow pool. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina had rode in silence most of the way before the reached the pool. She slipped off Epona ??s back and gently drew Mira to the shore. Lyina sat on the shore with the hero ??s head in her lap letting the girl ??s body float in the water. She sighed deeply gently brushing back Mira ??s hair from her face. there had been so much that had happened in such a short time ? it was all Lyina could do right now not to start crying from shock. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | She felt an instant warmth course through her veins as the spirit spring's power began to heal her slowly. Then the feel of being drug to the shore."Lyina" She said soflty opening her eyes "I'm sorry...I wasn't strong enough..."Tears filled her eyes as she looked up at the one thing left of the kingdom she needed to protect."I promised to protect the kingdom like my father did..." She told Lyina closing her eyes "I failed on the first day...".It was then that she finally slipped out of her concious state and into a deep sleep. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina brushed The poor girl ??s hair trying to shush her before she passed out. Sighing deeply Lyina just held her head in her lap brushing her hair. It wasn ??t till about an hour later when Mira was looking much better that Lyina slipped from the shore and started to put up a small shelter. It took some doing and the axe in Epona ??s saddle bags helped a lot. She finished enough just in time as rain started to fall. Lyina pulled Mira under the shelter before she also dropped to the ground exhausted and passed out. The sky let forth large drops of rain almost as though the world itself cried at the loss of Hyrule. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | The rain was still falling by the time that Mira woke up. She sat up and looked over to where Lyina lay sleeping and sighed softly. A feeling of loss and pain washed over her so she stood and left the shelther. The rain didn't bother her as she walked over to Epona and patted her side."What would father have done" She asked the horse knowing there wouldn't be an answer.The spirits of the springs had helped him figure things out years ago but she'd never seen so much as a flash of light from any of them."Well first I have to get a new sword...I can't fight with just my fists" She said with a light shrug. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina slept fitfully for a long time. Finally sitting up not being able to force herself to sleep more at this point. She sighed looking over at Mira standing there in the rain. Slowly Lyina got up and walked over to Mira, she placed her hands on the taller girl ??s shoulders, ??Mira please come back out of the rain, the last thing we need right now is you getting sick. ? Her small hand slipped into Mira ??s slowly wanting to pull her toward the shelter she had made. She was scared, not that Mira would get sick, but that Mira would leave her either by dying or by just walking away. Lyina couldn ??t handle someone else leaving right now. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | She looked at Lyina feeling her touch. Things were so confusing right now and she knew that she needed to be strong."Alright" She said going back to the shelter with her "I was just worried about Epona...".Once they were back in the shelter she grabbed her hair and began to squeeze the water out of it. The worry in Lyina's eyes caught her attention and she wondered what the next step would be."I have somewhat of a plan" She said to Lyina "Ordon Village isn't too far from here when the rain stops we'll go...we might be able to figure out what to do next". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina moved back to the shelter and settled down next to the warrior watching as she spoke of the plan she had. Lyina rather suddenly wrapped her arms around Mira and pressed her face into her breasts starting to sob hard and uncontrollably. Everything was just coming down on her at once and she needed someone to hold her and tell her it would be alright even if it wasn ??t sure that it was going to be. She sobbed hard into Mira ??s breasts not caring how it looked right now or how she had been acting to the warrior right now she just needed to be close to someone. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira's face softened when Lyina hugged her and started crying, it was something she'd expected to happen alot sooner than it did."Shh...its okay" She said softly putting her arms around Lyina "We'll figure something out princess".Lyina wasn't a warrior, she'd never been in situations like this befre. Mira hadn't either but she had to be strong for both of their sakes. This was too much though, she couldn't ask the princess to help her save the kingdom the girl had just lost everything she knew."Just let it all out" She said rubbing her back not sure what else to say to her.Mira had never had to comfort someone else before and it was difficult to find comforting words to say. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina whimpered softly against the warrior ??s chest all the emotion everything that was clouding her mind. Finally she nuzzled against the other girls breasts lightly before lifting her head to look up into Mira ??s eyes. Her own eyes were red with crying but they were clear as a bell right now. She looked up into the warriors eyes and leaned up pressing her soft lips against Mira letting her eyes close as she held tight to the warrior ??s shirt kissing her softly. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira was taken aback when Lyina kissed her and considered pulling away. It wasn't proper for her to let the princess of Hyrule do this but something told her to respond in kind. She pulled Lyina closer gently deepening the kiss this felt so right at the moment."Lyina" She breathed pulling back for air after a few moments.She looked at her and smiled not sure what to do now. This was a very delicate moment and she didn't want to ruin things. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina looked into Mira ??s eyes as she pulled away and once again snuggled into the other girls chest. She just needed to be close to someone right now and the only person there was Mira. ??Hold me Mira ? I just ? just.. ? she started to cry softly again the emotion still pouring out of her even with that kiss. There was just so much to let out that she needed time and closeness. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | "Its okay Lyina" She said softly not sure what had kept her from pulling away "I won't push you away".She held her tighter knowing that she couldn't leave her somewhere...even if it was safer. Lyina's emotional state could become even more unstable if she was alone."Don't worry I won't leave you either" She said softly and gave a reassuring smile "You're not alone in this...I promise". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina shook her head lightly and looked up at Mira the tears pouring from her eyes ones of anger now. ??I need more then that Mira ? I need you to help me reclaim my birthright. Promise me that neither of us will stop fighting till we take Hyrule back! ? she wasn ??t going to sit on the side lines being a skilled archer and knew that she could help. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | "That goes without saying" Mira replied witih a smile "Hyrule isn't going to be Ganon's hands forever...and neither will your mother".She could see the determination in Lyina's eyes and knew she wouldn't be able to sit back while everyone else was in danger. Mira wouldn't either she'd sworn to protect Hyrule and she as going to keep her promise."I swore fealty to your mother and through her...you" She added "And I swear that you will get your kingdom back...even at the cost of my life". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina pulled back from Mira at that and looked her square in the eyes. ??Don ??t you dare say that ever again Mira, I won ??t let you do that. You are never to give your life for me or my kingdom. if you are going to do something that will take your life we will just find another way to do it. you are not allowed to die do you hear me? ? Lyina was holding back tears again at the mere thought of it and she wouldn ??t let it happen no matter what. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | She was taken aback by the princess remark but smiled and nodded."Of course Princess" She said then noticed that the rain had stopped "Princess...its time we went to Ordon Village".She would give her life to save the kingdom, death was nothing she'd ever feared. Standing up she held a hand out to the princess and smiled."Come on...we'll get some dry clothes while we're there" She said they were both pretty soaked from the storm "Epona...its time to go".The horse trotted over and neighed happily, it seemed that she missed Ordon too. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina nodded and took Mira ??s hand before walking over to Epona and lightly nuzzling into Mira ??s back. It still felt so good to have something near to her that wasn ??t going to leave. Even if Lyina might realize in the back of her mind that asking a hero not to risk their life was like asking someone not to breathe still she didn ??t want to lose anyone else. There as something about how she felt for this hero that she couldn ??t explain like she was connected to her somehow and no just through family history. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Mira smiled at Lyina then turned to her to help her get onto Epona."Please...ride Epona on our trip" She said to her "I don't want you getting exhausted while we travel".She gripped her by the waist to hoist her up into the saddle fully intent on walking."There is some gorgeous scenery between here and the village" She added hoping to make the princess happier. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina gasped lightly as she was lifted up into the saddle but Mira ??s strong arms. She bit her lip lightly before moving back on the saddle and patting it lightly. ??Join me please Mira, I could use you being close right now. ? She looked around the path at the scenery that was mentioned and sighed deeply. ??I just hope that we can keep it that way, I don ??t know what to do right now and worry that Gannon will win. ? |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | "I'd rather walk" She said smiling up at Lyina "I'll be right next to you though...so don't wory".She looked around as well, she knew what Lyina meant, Gannon had a way of destroying everything that was beautiful. At least that's what her father had told her."I won't let him change it...Gannon won't win" She said to her "As for what to do...we'll think of something...but first I need a new sword...". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina nodded and just stayed on the horse watching the world go by. Hearing the comment about a new sword she shook her head slowly. ??If light arrows don ??t even affect him now they I doubt even the master sword will be enough. I will need to get a better bow and arrows as well if I am to help you bring order back to the world. ? |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | "I'll get you some when we return to town" She said to her "Some people in the town owe me favors".She wouldn't have to pay anything, or would be able to pay later. The people in Ordon had practically helped raised her, and took her in when her father had died."We'll be able to get some new clothes too" She added sneezing "I'm freezing". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina nodded and rode in silence for awhile before the gates of Ordon village came into view. She sighed softly and looked down at Mira as she sneezed. ??We need ot get you out of those wet things as soon as we can. Our first stop should be the inn where you can get out of those clothes and into a hot bath, and those clothes can be dried. ? It had been a long time since Lyina had gone on a trip around the country and she thought she remembered a lovely inn in Ordon. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | "I can't afford the inn...I'm broke" She said "No...I've got a place where we can stay...I just hope that they've taken care of it".They passed a house in a tree that was dark, it hadn't been lived in since her father's first adventure. Then again that really didn't matter right now they'd stay in it later. She was thankful for the town gates and even more grateful to see that the lights in the town were still on. As they entered the town Epona whinnied happily, it was like coming home."I can assume you've already met Ordon's mayor...Collin" She said smiling "And his wife Beth".As she spoke she walked Epona to the large house that was decorated with the horns of an Ordon Sheep. She quickly moved to help Lyina down out of courtesy. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina nodded at the question about knowing the mayor. She realized that they had needed to leave in such a hurry that they had nothing at all but the clothes and weapons they had on them. She gladly accepted her help down from Epona and felt her body lightly press against Mira as she was lowered down. She bit her lip feeling the woman ??s soft breasts and soft body close to hers and secretly wanting more as they finally came eye to eye their breasts pressing against each other. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | She stopped for a moment as she looked at Lyina, a light blush crossed her cheeks and she was thankful for the darkness."Mira...its so good to see you" She stepped back and turned in time to see a much older woman burst out of the house "Welcome home".She was swept up into a hug and chuckled happily returning it."Aunt Beth" She said cheerfully "Its good to be back".Beth stepped back then turned to Lyina confused she looked at Mira."Let's get you both inside" She said "Then you'll explain to me and Colin why the princess is here".Mira sighed softly but nodded turning to Lyina with a shrug."Well...come on Princess...I'm sure there'll be a warm fire and nice mug of Aunt Beth's spiced tea" She said with a smile "As well as some nice warm clothes". |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina watched the greeting with a smile never being able to remember being greeted like that. Though it was highly improper to greet a princess like that it still would have been nice sometimes. She nodded obediently before following the two other women into the house and after being directed to a chair sit there her hands folded in her lap. She was still feeling the effects of shock over losing everything that she had known and just had no idea what to do about it right now. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | As soon as they sat down Beth went to fetch them some blankets and a drink. Mira looked around the living room and smiled it was strange being back here."So Mira...mind telling me why you brought the princess here" She looked over as Colin walked into the room "And why you both look as if you've been drug through a river".Mira gulped softly and looked down at her hands. She didn't know how to tell them that Hyrule had been taken over by Gannon, but she slowly began to talk. While she spoke Beth wrapped the blankets around them and got them to drink her spiced tea. At least they were warm as she explained their reason for being there. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | Lyina sat there shivering as the explanation of given for their being there. Even with the blanket and warm tea she was still cold but not all of it was a earthly cold. She bit her lip hard trying to stop but she couldn ??t make it stop no matter what she tried. Her clothes were feeling like icicles on her skin and if someone were to touch her she would feel like she had just come out of a ice water bath. Something had happened during that fight something that neither girl knew about. there had been a unseen opponent that had touched Lyina and cursed her. it was near the end of the conversation that Lyina suddenly fell out of her chair shivering on the floor. |
Link's Legacy (RP for me and Kolath) | "P princess..." Mira moved and knelt by Lyina's side "She...feels frozen...".Beth turned to Colin confused she'd never seen anything like this before."Quick...we need to get her warm" Colin said coming over and picking Lyina up "Mira...get some blankets...see if anyone can spare some...Beth...start some hot water...we'll need to make some warm compresses...and a hot soak".Mira nodded and rushed quickly to get some blankets being sure to not take too long. She didn't know what was wrong with Lyina but she wasn't going to just let her freeze to death. |
Perfect little Town.. | Slow down a little bit.. whispered Nairv softly as he rested on bed watching his girlfriend quickly ride on top of him. The morning sun covered their nude bodies as they had sex in his bedroom surrounded by a crowd of clothing and electronic equipment. Both of them had been going out for quiet some time now and it was actually rumored that they where soon to get married even though no such offer was ever spoken of. His hands held onto her hips as he watched himself quickly disappear inside of her feeling her squeeze around him tightly. Ether though she wasn t the only girl he had ever had sex with he had to admit that she was by far the best. If you keep slamming down so hard and fast your going to end this fun really quick, its not normal for both my mother and father to be gone at the same time.. so lets take advantage of it.. sitting up he held her close stopping her movement. Licking her nipple softly he teasingly bite it before suck on it carefully and rather affectionately. He had always taken good care of her unlike most of the other men especially one of his positions.In the mist of their sex the sound of a car driving up towards the mansion caught Nariv by surprise as he pulled away from her quickly. It was his mother, which was strange since normally when she went out it took her more then half a day before she came back. Yet, what caught his attention even more is when a girl stood up from out of the car. Get off.. he whispered before throwing his girlfriend onto the bed in a rush. Quickly he grabbed at a random pair of clothing and ran out of the room as he desperately tried to slip them on. Could it really be her? His mind was racing a million thoughts pair minute and it didn t help that he was still sporting a hard on. Getting to the door he was finally fully dressed and was quick to open it surprised that his father had bet him outside first. I see.. so this will be our new house quest.. and what should we call you? Asked Dick harshly as he stared down at the young girl. As he spoke Nairv just watched from a distance. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | It was December but California had decided to forego common courtesy and stay hot as hell it would be the second Christmas in a row that Harry Lockhart hadn't seen a snowfall but he still wasn't used to it. After all, what was the Christmas season without having to dig your car out of four feet of the white stuff, or without slush and sleet and hail pellets so big that they shatter your sideview mirror twice in one month and force you to rob a corner store so you can pay for the repairs?Actually, fuck snow.Harry lifted his chin from where it had been settled on his fist and squinted through the windshield Perry had left him in the car again. Sometimes he felt like a dog, and a bad one at that, because at the very least he could have cracked a window instead of leaving him in a BMW hotbox.He shifted in the seat again, slumping down so his knees touched the dashboard.The holiday season always made him twitchy as a rule, Christmas sucked, and maybe it was a universal thing, maybe everyone's Christmas was tra la la la fucked every year but in his experience, the holidays inevitably ended with hospitalization and the previous year had been no exception.Harry glanced at his hand, eyeing the stump where his left ring finger used to be, then leaned his head against the side window, frowning at his own reflection. It would be the first time in four years that he hadn't spent long, cold evenings breaking into stores to do his holiday shopping in fact, it would be the first time he would be able to legitimatelybuya gift for his neice back in New York.The urge was still there, though some habits were hard to break, and apparently theft was one of them and so was smoking, but Perry had already told him to stop stealing and he would be damned if his nicotine got taken too. In fact, he had half a mind to light up right then but Perry wouldn't like that. As gay as Perry was, he was also a lot bigger than him, and smoking in his car meant running the risk of getting a nasty look, to be quickly followed up by one of those slaps to the back of the head.Harry fingered the half pack of cigarettes in his pocket but didn't pursue the thought any further instead, he twisted in the leather seat and miserably pressed his face into the edge of it, sighing. It had only been ten minutes, but given that Harry had the patience and attention span of a cocker spaniel on crack cocaine, it felt like hours.Perry had gone in for a follow up with a client, wrapping up a case he'd been working on for the past two weeks infidelity, missing trust funds, and some sort of Taiwanese hooker were all involved, but that was really just par for the course in California and was probably sorting out any final details. Apparently somewhere along the line, Perry had decided that he was utterly incapable of anything that involved business or polite conversation, thus he got left in the car.Harry had been prepared to roll around the seat again, up until the point his ass vibrated, which was cause for him to briefly attempt to escape the car without actually opening the door it was only when he was outside of the BMW and several feet away from it that he realized the thing bouncing around on his seat was Perry's cell phone.And people were staring at him. Possibly because he had screamed.Grimacing, Harry begrudgingly got back into the car, plucking up the phone and tossing it onto the driver's side seat, where the thing continued to bounce around and play Gloria Gaynor.In his lifetime, Harry Lockhart had done some stupid things, but he knew better than to do something like answer Van Shrike's phone.He sure as fuck knew better than that.But that didn't explain why he ended up with the thing to his ear anyways,"Yeah, hello." Harry said.The voice on the other end was female, kind of sexy in a I Smoke Four Packs A Day way,"Van Shrike?""Um. Yeah. This yeah. This would be him. His phone. My phone." Harry replied articulately, glancing at the windshield again, then back at his own knees, "Who's this?""Bensen Elaine Bensen."There was a long, expectant pause when Harry said nothing, she continued on,"I got your number from a friend, but I need to talk to you in person, I can't discuss it over the phone. Can you meet me at the fountain in Inglewood Park tomorrow, at three?""Well, I'm gonna have to check my schedule " Harry began, only to find himself cut off."Please this is important.I need your help."Harry scrunched his face up something about those four words got him every time."Yeah. Yeah, sure. I'll be there."He guiltily put the phone back on Perry's seat and slouched back into his own he told himself it wasn't a big deal or anything, it was probably just a missing dog, or a cheating husband.Perry didn't have to know. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | At some point between here and there and he means between getting out of the car and closing the door really Perry van Shrike had to come to terms that no idea no matter how sane and safe it sounded at the time would be a good idea when Harry was involved. Seriously, he couldn t leave the man alone for more than five minutes before something illogical happened. The fuckhead was just a magnet for crap that would end up with more than checks being written out or a migraine at the end of the day.For a good minute, he had stared at Harry once he got out of the car, observing the other male to make sure that nothing was going to spontaneously burst into flames. He wouldn t put it pass it happening.Once he was sure that things were as safe as he could leave it, he turned and went to meet with the client. Just ten, maybe fifteen minutes tops. Dear god, don t let Harry find a way to unlock the door and get loose. It was like keeping a dog, really.So when it reached the ten minute mark with the fucker talking on and on about how he should have realized what was going on, how things could have turned out differently , Perry was plastering on his I m going to be polite, he most likely will be a returning customer smile.Someone up there finally gave him a break though, and with a polite wave, he slinked out of the place and back to the car as fast as he could. The blonde checked his expensive, diamond encrusted watch a gift to himself a few weeks earlier. Twenty minutes. And Harry was still in the car, and his car was still in tact.The night was going fabulous. As gay as the brunette would have told him that sounded.Unlocking the door and climbing in, he sat on his phone and quickly shifted to pick it up. Did you touch it? that was a stupid question. Did Harry evenknowhow to use this thing? Never mind. he interjected before the other male had a chance to response. Putting the car into drive after turning it on, he nearly sped out of the driveway and onto the street. The night was wearing down on his nerves and he had plenty of paperwork to do. He was also expecting a few clients to call him by the end of the night.Completely ignoring the sidekick in the passenger seat, he drove home without a word and ABBA playing in the background. Still wordlessly and rather calmly, Perry made his way towards the door. He expected Harry would be following him, since they did live together still. He d have to check his sanity on why he still allowed that.Multitasking, he was trying to open the door and check his phone at the same time. In sequence, the door clicked open and gently eased away from him, his phone light flashed on at the press of a button, and the neighbors woke up from the rather common disturbance. HARRY, YOU IDIOT. Common. So they turned back off the lights and went back to bed. You touched my fucking phone! without walking into the house just yet, he turned to face the other man and nearly shoved his phone into the other s face. There were oil marks on the surface, he could see it. Sweat marks that naturally formed if someone pressed their cheek against the phone while talking. He fucking hated that and always made sure keep the phone at least a centimeter away from his cheek when in use. What the fuck were you thinking? Didn t we go through this last week? even though his voice was still annoyed, it was much quieter and more incredulous than anything. How many times did he have to teach Harry something until he got it? |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | As per the norm, Perry slipped into the car with all of the good cheer of the Hulk, if the Hulk happened to have perfectly back combed hair and Versace shoes Harry opened his mouth to respond but snapped it shut again just as fast, deciding to let the silence take over for the duration of the car ride, a task that was no small feat for him.The quiet was effectively ended when they got out of the car, however Perry checked his phone and maybe it was his freaky detective skills or maybe he'd left prints on the phone, but whatever it was, it lauched Van Shrike into one of his mini tirades, something that Harry had become used to long ago."Actually, last week it was about where I put my shoes and how you trip over them every night" Harry corrected him, rubbing at one of his eyes with his knuckles, "And the week before that it was, um, I think it was about how you hate my hoodies and I should stop dressing like a twelve year old. Ten year old. Or something."He shrugged his mouth and glanced up at the sky, swinging his arms at his side and clapping his hands together before looking at Perry again,"Oh, hey, so how did it go? I mean, everything is all wrapped up, case closed? 'Cause you don't seem like you closed a case, it seems more like someone pissed in your cornflakes or something." |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Before he even realized what he was doing, his arm twitched and he felt the palm of his head come in contact with the back of Harry s head. Fuckhead. he simply stated, as if that was enough explanation to why he had lashed out.Turning to walk into the house, he threw over his head a warning that Harry better take off his shoes and leave them to thesideof the door. The other male trulywaslike a child, needing to be told almost everything before he did something and sometimes even during so he wouldn t fuck up. Not that Harry was a fuck up.Okay, so he shouldn t lie.They all were fuck ups in LA that s just how it was. But Harry was a disaster magnet on top of that. As Perry moved to prepare something to eat for dinner, he shut his phone after a wipe against a towel, not bothering to check if Harry went through something. The idiot probably just got bored and played with it. Of course the case went well. Would I be standing here if it didn t? he answered, shaking his head. Are you going to eat or shower first, Chief? Perry pointedly asked, clearly indicating that he wanted the brunette to wash up at some point. Dirt from the day plus Harry plus his house? Not a good combination. He swears sometimes, he thinks Harry is just one step away from rolling on the ground like some puppy.He shuddered at the image. From horror, of course. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | He should have seen it coming really, he should have. Having spent nearly a full year living in close quarters with Perry Van Shrike and regularly getting swatted upside the head or punched in the shoulder, he should have expected it to happen and yet, when it did, Harry's expression was one of utter bewilderment. Hair mussed, he stared owlishly after Perry for an instant before continuing into the condo,"We've had cases go bad and we're still standing." Harry said, apparently having completely disregarded the head slap that had occurred only seconds prior most people viewed Harry Lockhart as having a mind that was roughly the equivalent of that belonging to a goldfish he seemed to forget things quickly, be amused easily, and get distracted by shiny things.Just, since moving to L.A, he felt like he was in the wrong fishbowl.At Perry's question, Harry glanced down at himself, frowning at the hoodie and too loose jeans his clothes were generally ill fitting, stuff that he'd had since he'd lived in New York, things that he'd had for years and figured they still had a few more years left in them."I'm clean." Harry said finally, managing to sound mildly insulted, "Mostly. It's not like I jumped around in the mud or fell in a fountain or something."Again.He toed off his shoes and left them in front of the door after a pause, he shifted them off to the side with his foot and moved into the sitting room, standing by the sliding door to stare out at the city. Since the previous Christmas, the cases had been standard. Or what Harry had learned was standard, given that his first experience as a Private Investigator had involved his balls being electrocuted. Thank god that wasn't standard.Harry told himself it was a good thing that their cases were normal it was reasonable, and it was healthy to have normal, non threatening cases.Yet some days it was hard to ignore the little part of himself that was bored to shit Harry stepped out on the balcony and into the hot California air, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | It doesn t matter. You sweat. as if that was enough of an explanation for a shower. In reality, Harry was probably not that messy. They hadn t done much today other than drive around, get lunch, snapped some shots on surveillance, and met with the client to close the case. Other than that, paperwork had taken over the spare time. There hadn t been any chance for either of them to get dirty enough that theyhadto jump into the shower this very instance.All the more reason why he thought Harry should. Who knew what the other male had done when he wasn t looking? For a brief moment, Perry stared at Lockhart as if he had drooled all over that old and battered hoodie.Oldandbatteredhoodie.He couldn t believe he even let that thing in his home, let alone be seen with it. As Harry moved to go out onto the balcony, amber orbs found them trailing after those hidden globes that And that was when Perry van Shrike smackedhimselfup the side of his head. Fuck, what the fuck am I thinking? Harry fucking Lockhart? Shit, I need fucking therapy. he mentally snapped at himself, as if he had done something stupid as he claimed Harry to be. The sandy blonde got back to making their dinner he never allowed Harry to cook on the stove in fear of losing the house to a fire or explosion.Once the thrown together spaghetti was finished, he began to dish up some for himself. Harry, put that out and get in here and eat. Come on and he made some tutting sounds as if he was calling a dog. Never let one say that Perry van Shrike was not playful. At least, if they wanted to live comfortably for very long. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | "Yeah, well," Harry said, speaking through the crack in the door, "Most humansdosweat, it's not my problem you're like a ken doll."The unmoving hair included. What thefuckdid Perry put in his hair?He took a heavy draw on the cigarette, holding the smoke in as he stared out at the city L.A. was nothing like New York. Sure, it was overpopulated and smelled bad in a similar way, but it had always felt like New York was alive, like the city itself was moving in one constantly wriggling, cheerfully homicidal mass.But there was something almost lazy about California, maybe it was the weather, the constant heat made people lazy, whereas the ball shattering cold of a New York winter made people move around so they didn't die of hypothermia. At any rate, he couldn't blame the steady access to drugs because New York had even California beat in that regard just, instead of risking getting capped for buying crack off the wrong guy, in California you risked being bedazzled in fabulous clothes by your dealer.He peered back through the door a second time when he heard Perry calling him like he was a faithful golden retriever on some level, Harry knew he should be insulted by being spoken to like a lap dog, but then he considered that he had been called much worse things in his lifetime. He snuffed his smoke out on a tray he kept on the balcony he'd put it there after Perry had yelled at him for flicking them onto the ground below and pocketed the remaining dog ear of the cigarette. Waste not, after all New York tended to linger in a guy.Stepping back inside, he gave Perry a sideways look,"One of these days you're gonna have to let me use the oven." Harry said, taking up a plate, gesturing to the oven, "It's a ceramic top you can't even cause fires with those things unless you toss some butane on it."He took a serving of the spaghetti anyways he would never argue if he was being fed, but still, it wasn't like he was going to burn the place to the ground by turning on a heating element."Anyway," Harry said, "I think I'm gonna go see Harmony tonight."It had been a few months since he'd seen Harmony and a few weeks since she had answered her phone to him he was pretty sure she had invested in caller I.D. Of course, she'd made it pretty clear that they were never going to happen they'd tried it after the whole almost dying thing, but it had just been awkward. Strange.Plus she'd fucked some other guy within a week. That had kind of sucked.Yet it was Harry who looked guilty,"Just gonna, you know. See how she's doing." |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Perry was already in his seat at the dining table of course they had designated seating arrangements by the time Harry came in to dine. Not together though, because they re not together. Just across from one another.He used the excuse that his mouth was full to not debate about the oven issue with the brunette, since he knew how that was going to turn out. I want to use the oven, Per! No, fuckhead, I know you ll figure out a way to burn down the house. With a ceramic top? insert offended look here. Insert a long, suffering sigh and a meaningful look here. End argument for the day, due to Harry s survival instincts.. . .So instead of replying, he just chewed the sauce covered noodles and raised an eyebrow at Harry. It wasn t like he wasn t listening to the other male, but it was hard to follow Harry s conversations when he wasalwaystalking. Hadn t he heard of a quiet dinner? But there was always something that would catch Perry s attention and make the detective do a double take.Such as anything involving the name Harmony.As rough as their interactions were with one another, if it boiled down to it, Perry would have to grudgingly admit that Harry was his friend. He had taken a bullet for the dumbass, so somewhere buried deep in his subconscious, he must have thought Harry as something more than a petty thief born to be thrown into jail.He kept his features neutral as he swallowed his bite. Did she say you could come over? he asked patiently, like Harry was a child that needed permission from both sides. Besides, who said you could have the night off? Shower and thenpaperwork, remember? there was no such thing in the night s game plan, but it gave an excuse to keep Harry away from Harmony. They were all great friends, yet he knew that if Harry went to see Harmony alone, there was a possibility that the New Yorker was going to come back brokenhearted.Fairytale love in Los Angeles? Not fucking likely. Harry wanted destiny and fate and love made of the gold shit. Well that shit didn t exist in the West Coast. Even Perry had to come to terms with that, what with all the fucked up relationships he d been in, and on some levels, he wanted to protect his Damn, I guess I have to think of him as a friend one of these days. to protect Harry from finding out the harsh way.He didn t feel guilty for lying to Harry the first time last Christmas. He really didn t. This was just being honest. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Harry didn't look at Perry as he settled himself down in a seat, keeping his focus on the table, chewing on the inside of his cheek,"It's not like it'll be the first time I've showed up unannounced," he reasoned as he poked the spaghetti around on the plate, "And she hasn't been answering the phone, you know?"She was avoiding him, she didn't want to talk to him she was the one who had shtupped someone else, yet he felt like he was the one who had fucked up. He'd forgiven her for it already and some pathetic part of him knew he'd probably forgive her for the next time she did it, too and there would be a next time. There was always a next time for Harmony guys fell at her feet at age thirty four the way they did back when she was nineteen, and with so many options, why would she choose some fuck up New Yorker with a criminal history?He didn't tell Perry any of this."Maybe her land line has been down."For three weeks."And she doesn't know I've been trying to contact her." he added, then shrugged, taking a bite of his dinner. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Not in Los Angeles.But Perry didn t tell Harry that, because there was no need to kick the puppy when he was down. Well, too bad, Chief. I don t care if Harmony s expecting you or not, you have work to do. You know,work. The thing that pays you and lets you have a roof over your head? the sandy blonde reminded, snapping his fingers back and forth over Harry s face a few time.He shook his head and went back to his spaghetti, taking large bites and chewing thoroughly. He also doesn t tell Harry that he s seen Harmony a few times around town. Instead, van Shrike gives a sharp and narrowed eyes look to the other man, before polishing off his plate. Without another word, he puts the plate in the sink and begins to wash it it d stain the porcelain plate if he didn t. Are you done? You re done. Go shower and get to work. he firmly ordered, wagging a finger at Harry like he was trying to train his dog if he ever had one and grabbed for the plate, whether or not Harry was actually done. Cleaning everything off and storing the leftovers, he did the dishwashing. It was only natural if he wanted his dishware last longer than the day.He placed the dishes on a rack to air dry, before drying his hands and moving towards the stairs. Perry expected Harry to follow orders. That s how it was in his mind. And in a perfect world, he would have the perfect, obedient assistant and lackey. Sadly, he only had Harry. Even if the puppy eyes did strike a nerve in him. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | The sound of snapping brought Harry's head back to the condo and away from the memory of having his head settled against Harmony's thighs granted, at the time he'd just been shot and she was afraid he would die, but still. It was a nice thought.God, she had great legs."Right. Yeah." Harry said, still sounding a little distant, "Paperwork."It'd been almost a year that he'd had a real honest to god job before Perry, he hadn't had an actual job since he was seventeen, which was around the time he'd discovered he could get more cash if he was dishonest the guilt had only lasted for a week after the first robbery he'd pulled off. It had occurred to him that he could end up in jail because of it one day, but it had been preferrable to the alternative of continuing to live in the gutter that was his family home just him, good old dad, and dad's best friend, Jack Daniels.He'd done a few odd jobs over the years too, always just enough to get him by and always paid under the table.This was different though, working for Perry for starters, it was legal. It was legitimate. He didtaxesnow.He managed to get in another forkful of pasta before the plate was taken and he glanced awkwardly at the clock on the wall,"Maybe you're right. It's kind of late. Another time." he said, talking more to himself than to Perry he glanced down at himself a second time, eyeing the jeans and t shirt, trying to uncover the source of Perry's insistence that he needed to bathe.Upon finding nothing, he shrugged and headed for the bathroom anyways, grabbing some night clothes along the way. He ignored his reflection as he stripped down and stepped under the hot spray this was another thing that had taken some getting used to Harry's apartment back in New York rarely had hot water the plumbing had been so defunct that most days the shower would be frigid, which was especially hellish mid winter. Those were the days when he had practically lived off of coffee. Not that he needed the caffeine.And back in his old apartment, he'd never had the sort of shit Perry had in the shower Harry opened the shampoo bottle and sniffed it curiously it smelled like a damn garden. As per the norm, Harry just used the cheap stuff he'd bought and soaped himself down, scrubbing himself slightly pink under the hot water.When he stepped out, he finally caught sight of himself in the mirror and grimaced he needed a shave. Inspecting himself, he noted he was getting a little thin he'd always been spindly from running around too much and never being able to hold still, but Los Angeles had only made him more hyperactive and his time in the gym had burnt away what little body fat he'd had to spare.Harry frowned at himself, then shrugged, digging for his razor. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | I should feel guilty. Perry mentally told himself, knowing that he was trying to keep Harry and Harmony away from each other as much as he could. For completely non selfish reasons, of course.But then, the notion of feeling guilty dissipated before it even settled. He just shrugged his shoulders at the idea of feeling guilty for that, and continued on with his night. The shower turned on in the bathroom between their rooms, indicating that Harry decided to follow his orders. He should have been specific that he was going to shower first.But instead of worrying too much about it, he just sighed in thanks that the brunette even heard a word he said, and moved to prepare for his own shower. Just silk pajamas and a large, fluffy white towel was all he needed. Perry decided that if he was going to have to wait he really needed to get a second bathroom installed he might as well do some work. It was on the way down the hall to fetch a new derringer, as the old one had been used in the last case, that he spotted the towel on the ground.The sandy blonde raised an eyebrow and moved to pick it up. There on the corner, were the initials HL . Harry s towel.And yes, he had their stuff initialized mainly so Harry didn t have any excuse why he had touched Perry s things.Not caring for formality, he turned the knob of the bathroom door, finding that it wasn t locked. Perry went right in, with the towel in his hand like an offering. Harry, you dropped your towel. Don t you notice these things, fuck head. there had been a notable hitch in his tone and he ended it as a statement rather than a question, but he played it off as cool as he could.But fuck, did Harry have a nice ass or what?For someone who appeared scrawny and could be broken in two, the brunette has a firm body. A firm, dripping, nude body. One that was facing away from him it was how the bathroom was designed, as the mirror and sink was facing away from the door and showing him the glory He had to mentally smack himself again to stop that trail of thought. Perry didn t externally react though, despite a few glances down to the assets that he didn t realize the house dog had. I guess you haven t been lazing in the gym after all. a simple statement that wasn t exactly a compliment. Perry knew what Harry did most of the time and where the other male went, mostly out of necessity if they had a job that came up unexpectedly. Yet he had always suspected that Harry went to the gym to pick up girls he really should have thought that one through or just to pretend to be macho.Sure, Harry didn t have the bulk and muscles Perry had, but it was noticeably different than he had expected. Pleasantly so. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | At the time, Harry had been frowning at the mirror, focused as he drew the razor down over copious stubble his facial hair tended to have a life of it's own, and not attending to it for even two days generally meant a struggle was inevitable.He had been concentrating so thoroughly on what he was doing that he didn't even notice Perry's reflection in the mirror not until he spoke, anyways, and it was enough to startle Harry, causing him to jerk mid stroke of the razor he drew in a hiss between his teeth, the white blue shaving foam turning vaguely pink as he opened up his own skin."Shit." Harry said, glancing back to Perry, realizing he was completely naked, then repeating, "Shit."It wasn't because Perry was gay really, it wasn't. It was more that, regardless of who he was standing in front of, Harry just generally didn't like being naked because despite the hyperactivity and chattiness and the penchant for showmanship, Harry Lockhart was socially shy and being without the copious layers of his t shirts and hoodies and baggy jeans was, frankly, mortifying.Firmly facing the sink and clutching at either side of it, Harry stared down at the faucet,"Uh yeah, thanks." Harry said, grimacing as words escaped him just a little too fast, "Mind just, you know, dropping it somewhere? I'll, uh, I'll get it."Of course, the next thing Perry said was cause for Harry's eyebrows to shoot up he chanced looking in the mirror and caught sight of Perry in the reflection he was standing in the doorway, holding out the towel, but Harry held fast to the sink it was bad enough that his bare ass was on display.He could feel his face burning."Cardio does wonders." He added weakly. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Harry wasn t a homophobe. He really wasn t. Because if he was, then how could he work for and live withGay Perry?Perry knew that. He knew it, and yet, it irked him to see how uncomfortable Harry suddenly got when Perry came in. They were guys, for fuck sake. It wasn t like he doesn t see the same junk every time he whipped it out to piss, shower or occasionally masturbate. He didn t see it much when with other partners, as it d be occupied doing other And let s not think of things like that while staring at Harry.But like the little devil inside of every gay bastards like he was, he only grinned as an idea came into his mind. Instead of just handing Harry the towel and scrambling out of the bathroom like he was embarrassed at seeing his coworker naked, he stepped fully into the bathroom. The door was given a gentle bump, so that it seemingly just swung a fraction towards closing. The lock didn t resound, but a small tig sound nearly echoed in the bathroom as the door rested an inch from fully shutting.Perry, with a neutral face, dropped the towel like Harry had asked.Thrown it really.A few feet from him, angling it just a few feet to the right of where Harry was standing.He stared and raised a neutral eyebrow at Harry in the mirror s reflection. Well, pick it up. He wondered if Harry every heard of the soap in the prison joke. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Harry barely resisted dropping his face into his hands life always had a way of fucking him over, but this was a new one.Via the reflection in the mirror, Harry was able to watch as Perry's expression transformed from being neutral, to being split by what was possibly the most ominous smile he had ever seen. At some point Harry heard the door strike lightly against it's frame, but the implications of it never occurred to him his main focus at that moment in time was just that he wasnakedand there was someone else in the room.Granted, he had been naked in front of people before. Women. Usually women he'd met in bars, who he went to bed with late at night after they'd both had a couple of beers. In dark rooms.Given that sort of sexual history, Harry could never claim to be a practising Christian, but being raised in an Irish Protestant home tended to teach a person shame, or in Harry's case, a painful case of shyness.He made eye contact with Perry after he threw the towel, both eyebrows raising,"Really?" He deadpanned, doing his best to ignore the way his cheeks were burning he tried to remind himself he was a grown man, not a school girl in a change room, but it didn't seem to help,"Seriously?" he added, just for good measure, before shifting to the right and deftly maneuvering the towel over with his foot he did his best to ignore the fact Perry was standing behind him as he plucked it up off the ground, immediately putting it around his waist and immediately grateful for it. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | The two words uttered between them were only given the same, even smile that Perry had plastered on his features. It was obvious that Harry was awkward and embarrassed, but Perry couldn t help himself. He continued to stare at the other s form and waited for Harry to focus on the towel before he stepped closer.For a brief moment, Perry knew he shouldn t do this. That this was really going to put a kink and not the fun kind between their relationship and not the intimate kind. Perry and Harry had been begrudged friends since last Christmas, partners a little bit after that, and housemates a month after they started working together. Where Harry had stayed before he moved in with Perry was still a mystery to him.But the point being, he had no reason to break the somewhat domestic and peaceful atmosphere they had with one another. The less he provoked Harry, the less he had to worry about something breaking, catching on fire, or god forbid staining.He really shouldn t do this.And yet, before he even had a chance to stop himself, his hand went flying out and gave a resounding smack on now covered bottom of his partner again, not in the gay way.The feeling of the firm, muscular bottom covered by the towel bounced under his warm palm. It was brief as his thoughts, but the sensation of the rather firm smack left his hand tingling in ways that wasn t just from the impact.Confused at why he did that, he stared down at his palm for a moment, then Harry s ass, then his hand, and then turned to leave the bathroom. Seriously he half said, half murmured, swinging the door open and then throwing over his shoulders, I m showering next, so get the fuck out. As if nothing had just occurred between them, he went to his room to get the clothes he d left there, and hoped that Harry would have half the brain it took to realize he d better move least it get awkward if Perry returned with Harry still in the bathroom. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Whatever security had come with having part of himself covered by the towel was quickly dissapated by what happened next with his focus solely on keeping his private parts private, he hadn't been aware of Perry sliding closer and had understandably been completely unprepared to getslapped on the ass.Perry's palm was wide and it impacted hard enough that the connection made a clapping noise Harry let out a yelp of surprise, back stiffening,"What the " Harry began, completely bewildered, as though the gayness of the situation had only just occurred to him but Perry was so casual about it that Harry found himself questioning if the contact had actually even occurred. He stared after Perry as he exited the bathroom, eyes wide, face dripping water and shaving foam and a little blood as he clutched the towel protectively around his waist he ended up going to his room like that, deciding he could finish shaving later. Dressed.Closing the bedroom door behind himself, he dropped the towel just long enough to glance back at his rear and, yes, there was a palm sized pink mark that was gradually fading away.Perry Van Shrike had slapped his ass.Pulling on a pair of loose black track pants and yanking on a t shirt, it occurred to Harry that it probably wasn't the weirdest thing Perry had ever done, especially given his warped sense of humour, but he was pretty sure there was some sort of rule about not spanking your partner's the not gay kind ass.Harry didn't know what to do with himself at that point he ended up in his default state, which meant smoking on the balcony and trying his damndest to pretend it hadn't happened. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | What the fuck just happened?Seriously, what just happened?Perry continued to ask himself that over and over as he grabbed for his clothes and went to the bathroom on autopilot. In fact, he was like that the entire time he took his shower, only noting briefly that he was glad Harry had the decent grace to leave the bathroom so they didn t have to deal with something like confrontation about the ass smacking so soon.As he felt the warm water drizzle over his body, trickling down the firm muscles and flesh, he thought about why he had done that. No answers came up, but only the strange fixation on how nice it had felt, and how cute Harry had looked before and after the said incident.Cute. That was right.Perry van Shrike thought Harry Lockhart was cute.God, howgaycould he sound? Perry mentally groaned at thinking that, wondering why in the world he was feeling a beginning attraction towards his housemate. Harry was a trap for bad luck and nothing but heartache. He knew it, because the brunette was fixed on one thing only. Harmony. Well, most of the time. Other times, he really didn t know what went on in that airhead.But the fact of the matter was, he was attracted to Harry s body, and Harry was straight. I m fucking crazy he murmured to himself, tilting his head back to allow the spray of water to wash his hair and scrub away the suds there. On further thought, he was almost convinced that his slight attraction to his work partner was probably just a mixture of body appriciation and loneliness. Seriously, when was the last time he brought home another man and fucked?That was it, he decided. Turning off the water and drying himself, he didn t even think to speak to Harry before he went into his own room and as quick as he could, got to bed. He was resolved at what he was going to do though. He needed to clear his mind off of Harry, because Harry wasn t really what was bothering him. At least, not in this aspect, but in others, Harry always bothered him. In this context, he knew that he probably just needed a good fuck.So as he fell asleep, his hair still wet and the towel thrown into the hamper, Perry made a mental note to flirt with someone at the party of a past client that they were invited to tomorrow.The so called paperwork was completely forgotten about. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Harry ended up smoking three cigarettes before he even realized he was still smoking, the action had become so automatic At some point it did occur to him that they had never gotten around to the paperwork they were supposed to do, but he couldn't bring himself to be dissappointed this was partly due to the fact he fucking hated paperwork, but also because, right then, he wasn't sure how comfortable being in the same room would be for either of them.He stood on the balcony and tried not to think for a while, which worked up until the point his brain helpfully supplied precisely where Harmony's condo would be in the city, and he proceeded to stare mournfully at the very distant gathering of lights and buildings until he finally accepted that it was probably pointless and a little unhealthy.By the time he dragged himself back inside, one a.m. had rolled around even though there had once been a time where he would have still been wandering the city long past three in the morning, he buried himself face first into his pillows and fell into his usual restless sleep anyways. Ultimately, Harry slept the way he lived holding still just wasn't an option.And when the sun rose at an ungodly hour, Harry did as well he didn't need to be at Inglewood Park until three, but some guilty part of him wanted to get out of the condo before Perry was awake.Ultimately, a long history of theft had given Harry the skills he needed to be exceedingly quiet when neccessary the front door didn't even make a sound when he slipped out, immediately sticking a cigarette into his mouth before jamming his hands in the pockets of his hoodie and hoofing it down the street. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | By the coming morning, Perry was all but well rested and nothing seemed to bother him. The sun shined under the crack of his door like a love letter, slipping in with such ease that he was almost thankful that he was awake just a bit before it to see the beauty of something so simple. It was like a perfect morning, and he couldn t tell why it was like that.Instead of questioning it, he got up and moved to adjust his morning wood. Sometimes it was there because he needed to take a piss, but other times, it was just there because of some erotic dream he had the night before. This time, it was obviously because he had had a good dream. Too bad he couldn t remember what it was.Sleepily, he went into the bathroom and took care of himself, leaning against the wall with a hand while the other stroked himself. A quickie with his hand and aimed at the bathroom allowed him to flush and clean up without a hassle. A quick hand wash, hair brush, and then gel to slick his hair back it was all routine, really. So in a few minutes, he was out of the bathroom looking all for the world like Perry van Shrike, private detective, again. In silk pajamas.All was going well for him this morning, as he walked into the kitchen. So of course all had to go wrong when he spotted the small smudge of what seemed to be residue from ashes on the ground. Maybe a smear from Harry s shoe the previous night, as the other male had smoked quite a few sticks out on the balcony. At least, that s what it looked like with a peek out there to see the ashtray filled with crap.. . . of course Harry had to ruin his morning. Even when the fucker wasn t here.When the fucker wasn t here? Fuck. he nearly hissed, shaking his head as he realized that Harry probably used this chance to go do something stupid. Getting a quick peek out of the window confirmed that his car was still in the parking lot and in one piece, Parry sighed in relief. At least he didn t take the car he confirmed to himself, before getting breakfast with a calm mind. Harry would be fine.At least, he hoped so.If Harry came back with less than nine and a half, then he d be worried. Until then, he d let the world fuck with Harry.So for most of the morning, he made to do the paperwork that he should have done, did the calls that he should have called, and then met with a client or two that he said he was going to do. The party wasn t until much later in the evening, so he had time to find the fuckhead they both had to be there for professionalism purposes, since it was being hosted by a past client.When four in the afternoon came around, he found himself back at home, getting ready for the party and ticked that he still hadn t found Harry. Picking up his phone, he pushed the second speed dial and waited with a scowl on his features for Harry to pick up the goddamn phone. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | 4:05 P.M.Choking up water, Harry clamored up out of the fountain ignoring the blood streaking from his forehead, he reached unsteadily for his jacket and fumbled for his cellphone.Caller: Van ShrikeHarry looked up at the sky, then back to the phone he answered:"I've gone ahead and hit myself upside the back of the head for you already." he said, adding, "I'm sorry I answered your phone yesterday by the way. Any idea who wants you dead?" |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | . . .. . . What the fuck did you do? Are you all right? Where the hell are you? FUCK, Harry, are you hurt?! He wanted to ask all that, but it didn t come out. Instead, he just stared at the blank white walls, wondering exactly why he decided to keep the walls white. It wasn t a good idea, since he knew that white was a bitch to tend to.Like Harry was a bitch to tend to.The other male was trouble after trouble, scraping on his nerves and grinding on his last nerve by the end of the day as if it was the fuckup s only job. Like hepaidHarry to cut years off of his life.Like he took the bullet for Harry. You answered my fucking phone? he asked, voice dark and anger laced through each word. He was angered at the fact that Harry answered his phone. He was mad that he was right. And worse of all, he was angry at himself for leaving the phone in the car in the first place. Perry, no matter how much he tried to deny it, had a deep and fond affection for his friend. Like an annoying puppy that he just hated to take care of, he loved to hate Harry as much as he Hated to love him.If Harry had talked to him at any point during his musing and revelation, then he hadn t heard. Instead, he only felt shaken that he felt scared him, fucking Perry van Shrike scared that he was admitting some dark and sick feeling. Sick because this was his straight friend.Well, straight for now. Unless Harry did something stupid and got himself killed. Never mind, he said to cut anything else from coming, both from Harry and himself. Where are you? I ll come and get you. We need to fuck, we need to get to the fucking party, you dipshit. What in pluperfect hell were you thinking?! Picking up my phone and going to meet someone that calledfor me. Is your name Perry van Shrike? Are youGay Perry?! I don t think so! he continued to rant now, his nerves fried and his eyebrows pinched in a frown. Swearing and bitching all the way to the car, he nearly wrecked something with the rage he was driving to get to where Harry was. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Sitting on the edge of the fountain, Harry held the phone near his dripping face until he realized a family of four had stopped nearby and were currently watching him with a mix of fascination and worry, as though wondering if he was maybe a street performer or part of the Christmas celebrations that were currently overtaking most of the park.He stood and began to head away from the fountain, the angel statue at the centre of it blotted with blood across its robes as he walked, he held the phone near thigh height while Perry ranted, alternating between tiredly rubbing the filthy water out of his eyes and wringing it out of his shirt. When he finally brought the phone up again, Perry was still raging."Inglewood." Harry said, once Perry stopped for air, "I'm at Inglewood. Um. Near the fountain Iwasnear the fountain. I'm near Commercial Street now, just at the edge of the park. Please don't run me over." |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Running over Harry was definitely a good option at the moment. It would at least make him feel better. But Perry knew that the good feeling would be a fleeting sensation for all but a few minutes, before he would miss the fuckup. God, how fucked up was that, that he would missHarryof all people?He was really a masochist, he just knew it.So in a few short minutes, he was turning down Commercial Street, nearly running every car and one out of the way until he spotted the beat up figure in cheap and old clothes, half dead. Must be the fuckhead he mentally confirmed, nearly running Harry over before swerving a bit and then stopping in front of him.The car doors were unlocked, his hands firmly gripping his steering wheel, and Perry continued to face forward, glaring at Harry s figure before him. Get. In. The. Fucking. Car. he mouthed, anger clearly written all over his face. Harry was lucky that Perry had slammed on the emergency breaks rather than just the breaks at the moment, because his right foot had the itching feeling to just floor it and run over the dumbass.Only after Harry would climb in and hewouldget in the car, because Perry fucking said so did the sandy blonde finally break his silence. What the fuck were youthinking?! And oh fuck no Harry was bleeding.On.His.Leather.Seats.Someone was going to die. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Harry wasn't particularly surprised to see Perry's BMW speeding down Commercial Street like Sarah Palin was on his tail despite knowing he was running a high risk of being run over, Harry didn't bother to move aside chewing on his cheek, he eyed Perry through the windshield and watched him very clearly mouth that he should get in the fucking car.He briefly considered warning Perry that he was, in fact, completely soaked since he knew exactly how Van Shrike felt about anything dripping on his upholstery, but he decided it probably wasn't a good time to remind him of his own finicky rules.Instead, he climbed unsteadily into the car and stared out the windshield blood ran in rivulets from two parallel gashes on his forehead but he didn't seem to notice,"Someone wants you dead." Harry repeated, rolling his head to the side so he could look at Perry, apparently utterly oblivious to the man's rage. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Someone wants you fucking dead right now and he s sitting in close quarters with you. Yet another thing he didn t spit right out, though he thought that if he had acted on it, it would have been easier to just reach over and strangle the life out of Harry.At least, that s what he wanted to think that he wanted to do. Perry van Shrike did not didnot want to reach over and pull Lockhart into an embrace and tell him that he was going to die, as soon as Perry calmed downed and tended to him like some fucking worried lover.Fuck. Look where his mind was wandering if he let it.Mentally shaking that off of his mind, he just closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before turning to fully take a look at Harry s state. Worry battled with anger, and he found himself reaching over with his pocket handkerchief before he thought fully on what he was doing. It was pressed almost roughly against the wound on the brunette s forehead, soaking in the blood that oozed out like a freshly sliced tomato. Though his hand pressed against it hard, his thumb unconsciously stroke across the unmarred, though bruising flesh just aside the eyebrow. All right, Chief. You have thirty of my fucking seconds to explain before I decide that leaving you to bleed on the streets is the better option. he snapped out, eyes focused on the wound he was dabbing at and examining it to see if Harry had a concussion. He would rather avoid the hospital if possible, but what if Harry was hurt anywhere else? First, who the hell did you meet up with? No one wants me fucking dead. that he knew of. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | ...How Harry Ended Up In the Fountain The sun was high and hot and Harry was surrounded by elves as if that wasn't fucking weird enough, he was pretty sure the Mrs. Clause who had been eye raping him for the last twenty minutes was actually a guy, so he did his best to ignore her tinsel adorned winks and focus on getting through the crowd.It turned out that the twentieth of December happened to be the first day of the annual Tennenbaum Parade, a five day public Christmas festival that came complete with a sideshow, which was ultimately just a travelling circus dressed in holiday wear. The air was thick with the smell of California and peppermint and he was surrounded by staggering drunks, children, and little people wearing prosthetic pointed ears, though sometimes he couldn't really tell the last two apart.Weaving through the crowd and scarcely avoiding colliding with a guy dressed as latex fetishist rudolph, he managed to get to the less populated area of the fountain, just beyond all the booths and rides. The Archangel stood at the centre of the display, staring heavenwards a bit of her face had chipped off long ago and the daylight shone through the visible iron rods underneath, water occasionally spouting from the broken concrete as though she was weeping violently, like a cartoon character shedding buckets of discoloured tears.Harry lingered by the fountain, and it was around the time he was lighting up a cigarette that he realized he probably should have asked for a way to identify Elaine Bensen. Taking a draw on his cigarette, he had to do a double take when he realized there was an enormous Santa Clause lingering nearby, giving him a hard stare behind his fluffy white beard. The moment Harry made eye contact, Santa looked away and resumed wandering around, waving a sign pointlessly printed with a cheerful 'Merry Christmas!'When did the circus get so fucking aggressive?A hand landed on his shoulder and Harry nearly choked on his cigarette, ducking down and turning he wanted to say he was ready for a fight, but the bewildered look on his face made it clear he was more likely to bolt."Wha, hey!" Harry said, and found himself nearly face to face with a short, slender dark haired woman her make up was styled like something out of the forties, complete with the little mole by her eye and the dark red lipstick she was wearing a particularly striking purple dress, and Harry's eyes immediately fell to her legs, but he forced them back up again."Mister Van Shrike?" she asked.Harry did a quick search for a wedding band engagement ring expensive one. And his brief downwards glance had informed him her shoes were Manolo Blahnik, not the sort of thing one walked around in for any length of time. No public transportation for this girl."Ms. Bensen?" Harry replied."I'm sorry I had to bring you here. I just felt safer somewhere public."Harry tried not to feel insulted."Not because of you," Elaine added, "I mean I know you're "She waved a hand vaguely and Harry struggled to keep up."You know." She said, "You wouldn't try anything on me."A lightbulb went on. Right. He was Perry Van Shrike. Gay Perry Van Shrike."Right. Yes." Harry said, swallowing down contempt, "As gay as a handbag full of rainbows. Gotcha."Elaine looked startled,"I didn't mean " Elaine began, but Harry waved her off."It's cool, I'm a huge fag." he confirmed cheerfully, glancing back over his shoulder for an instant, "And what iswiththat Santa over there?"Elaine looked back, eyebrows raised Harry noted that she had used copious eyebrow pencil probably not her natural colour, then."What Santa?" she asked, and it figured that the fat man was gone just in time to make him look insane."Nevermind." Harry said, blowing his smoke out away from her and putting out the stub with his foot Elaine linked her arm with his and began to walk with him, "You said you needed help with something?""Yes." Elaine replied delicately, leading them towards the fountain and perching herself on it Harry took the cue and sat down beside her, "But I'm afraid I've brought you here under false pretenses I don't have a case for you.""Uh?" Harry asked."I brought you here to warn you." she said, and Harry's eyebrows shot up she put a hand on his shoulder, "The case you're on now you have to drop it. For your own sake.""What?" Harry asked, "Look, I know Taiwanese hookers are a little weird to deal with, but that one is wrapped up."Elaine looked bewildered for a moment,"This is no time for levity, Mr. Van Shrike," she said, brows knitting with concern, brown eyes watching him imploringly, "I mean what I'm saying I know you've dealt with some hard cases before, but you're in over your head. If you carry on with this one, you're going to die."Harry felt like someone had thrown ice water down his spine."I have to go." she said, getting to her feet now."Wait, hey," Harry said, rising as well and stepping after her, "What case are you talking about? I don't even ""If you follow me, I'll scream." Elaine replied quickly, and Harry was briefly stunned by the comment she was already heading through the crowd by the time he got his brain back in order."Like I haven't heard that one before!" Harry called after her, and frowned.What the fuck was that about?He stared for a long moment, frowned, and then lit up another cigarette, putting his foot up on the fountain and staring at the Archangel.Perry wasn't evenona case right now, outside of the usual financial theft and adultery ones standard stuff. Unless there was something Perry wasn't telling him, which he wouldn't doubt, given that there tended to bea lotthat Perry didn't tell him.Someone tapped his shoulder for an instant, he thought Elaine had come back. He turned, and Santa gave him a hard stare, then whirled his billboard around and hit him in the head with it hard enough to knock Harry backwards into the fountain. Floundering for a moment, he came up for air, stunned,"What the f " Harry began, but Santa leapt into the water and grabbed him by the scruff it was immediately evident that the guy was wearing a fat suit because the strength defied the softness as Harry was dragged, struggling, to the centre of the fountain. Harry threw an elbow back but it only impacted with the fake pillowy stomach his arm was wrenched up and yanked for his efforts, hyperflexing his shoulder before he was dropped into the water, hands and knees hitting the cement base. As Harry tried to gain footing, a hand went into his hair, grabbing it roughly and he was rammed face first into the Archangel, his forehead contacting with her knee.Stars exploded in his eyes, pain blinding him as he swiped a hand through the water and grabbed hold of the first thing he could get, which happened to be the fallen chunk of the Angel's face Harry shot his hand out and managed to swipe it across his attacker's thigh, splitting part of the flimsy costume and cutting through skin. Santa let out a roar of pain, and then came the second impact with the statue Harry smelled blood and felt it fill his mouth as his tooth cut into his lip and everything went black. Harry stared at Perry,"Santa tried to kill you." he said finally. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Elaine.The name struck something like a memory that he couldn t quite place. Throughout the entire story that Harry was telling him which he was surprised he could even follow he tried to think of who that person was. It was almost obvious that it was a trap, and sadly, Harry had been caught in the middle of it.When the brunette stated that Santa tried to kill him, Perry felt a twitch on his arm. Just barely, did he stop himself from whacking Harry s head not a good idea if the other male had a concussion. He didn t try to kill you er, me. he stated offhandedly, temper much cooler now that he had time to count to a hundred. So Harry answered his phone, thinking he could pick up some case likehewas the detective, and ended up getting his ass kicked in Perry s stead.It d be fucking romantic if Harry hadn t been the one that got canned.Heaving a heavy sigh, he shook his head and began to drive towards the ex client s house to join the party there. Let them ask questions if Harry wasn t presentable. Not like the other male was ever. At least, he wasn t, but he will be, once they got a chance to shop in the next day or two.For the drive, he kept quiet, not quite sure how he should reply to Harry. Elaine of course, that s why the name sounded familiar. It had been a case that had been sent to him. Emailed under a Mr. Mystery how lame was that? Sentron Inc. was asked to investigate about something about a stolen artwork. That alone would have sent him shutting his email down and ignoring it. However, it wasn t just one artwork, it was many. They happened periodically, different kinds that had more zeros attached to them than Harry had fingers. The Mr. Mystery suspected that someone from his internal household or someone who had access must be stealing them.Now if that wasn t an easy pay and something to fill in time in between cases, then Parry didn t know what did. Not that he took on the case not yet at least. But it seemed that with this evening s events, he might just take it on.No one hurts Harry.Well, no one but Perry. Fuck he hissed, knowing that it wouldn t be the right thing to be dragging their asses to the party tonight. Not when Harry needs looking after. If the fuckhead wasn t borderline concussion, then he would have smacked him harder to hopefully right something in that airhead. Let s just get the fuck home so we can talk about how Santa handed you your fucking ass. god, if he wanted to control his newly found attraction, then he shouldn t put those two words together. And get you cleaned up. Stop bleeding, you re ruining my handkerchief beyond saving. Turning at the next light, he began to floor it home, not caring that he might be speeding. Want to tell me why the fuck you thought it was a good idea topick up my damn phoneand not tell me what it was about? If guilt was supposed to settle in now, it was behind schedule. Harry had just gotten beaten up in his stead if it had been him that went, he wouldn t have been beaten up but it was easier to get irritated with Harry than become some sissy ass that was two seconds away from mothering the dumbshit. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Harry was slouched down in the seat, nose level with the bottom of the window as he stared dumbly out at the streets, watching the world whirl by in a glaze of colours and lights.It wasn't the first time he had been hit in the head and it wouldn't be the last, but he couldn't recall ever being hit that hard and having it hurt so little. In fact, his head felt numb, which he supposed he should be grateful for."Hey," Harry said, sitting up and dripping all over the leather seats, holding the handkerchief to his forehead despite Perry's protests, he continued to bleed anyways, and the square of cloth was beyond salvation at that point, "Wait, no. There's that party we're supposed to be at. I mean, I know I'm not exactly cleaned up for it, but it wouldn't be the first time you left me in the car, right?"The car sped up they were on their way back to the condo anyways."I don't know. Want to tell me why someone wants you dead bad enough to try it in a public place in broad daylight?" Harry shot back, confident that with his head as numb as it was, he wouldn't feel it when Perry swatted him anyways. He looked over at Perry after he said it, giving him a hard stare it was rendered less effective when his nose suddenly and unceremoniously began to gush blood."It only looks bad." Harry added, clutching at his nose. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | He truly believed that it took an iron will not to just reach over and smack Harry upside the head at not answering him. Even worse, he only answered by questioning Perry. Luckily, Perry had that iron will.Well, not really. The only thing that stopped him was that they were back at the condo, parking, and Harry s nose decided this was a nice time to burst a few blood vessels. Shit! he instinctively cried out. Worry for Harry flashed over his features, and for a moment, he might have looked like he was caring for the safety and health of someone he was fond of. Don t drip! Perry demanded, trying to shake off that feeling and justifying his shout through anal hygiene habits.Getting out of the car, he was quick to leap to the other side and yanked open the door. Helping Harry out of the car yanking him almost as hard as the car door was yanked, actually he tried to get them into the house before Harry passed out on him. Hold your head back. Fuck, are you downplaying how hard they kicked your dumb ass? Do we need to go to the hospital? He hated that the ending sentence had a twitch to it. The thoughts of the untouched case that got Harry into this mess was thrown out of his mind for now, as he tried to get Harry into the bathroom without dripping blood anywhere on the carpets or wooden floor.Blood was a bitch to get out. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | As he was yanked out of the car, Harry's hand was briefly pulled away from where it was being held by that point the blood from his forehead had converged with the blood streaming down his nose, mapping out a river of it across his face,"I'm not dripping!" Harry protested, half staggering alongside Perry and into the condo as he was yanked around like a ragdoll, he was realizing more and more that he probably needed to gain some fucking weight, "I'm not downplaying and it wasn't a 'they', okay, it was one. Singular. Kris Kringle isnota happy man jolly my ass."Having been manhandled to the bathroom, Harry ended up stumbling into the sink, gripping it's edges in a position that was astoundingly similar to the one he had been in the previous evening bad time to think about that.Also similar to the previous night, he found himself looking up at the mirror and finding Perry's reflection in it only this time the big guy's expression was different. Sure, there was the usual self righteous anger and the ever present look of irritation, but that tiny trench that was dug between his eyebrows told the tale of worry, and Harry might have even said something, but then he caught sight of himself in the mirror.And jesus, no wonder Perry was asking about a hospital.The gash in his forehead was split diagonally across his temple, the skin around it already reddened, a bruise that would extend down to his cheekbone. Veins of blood had covered most of the left side of his face and trailed down his neck, absorbing into the collar of his shirt, and even his palms were torn to shit from where they had struck the fountain."Huh." Harry said, blinking dumbly at himself as he leaked into the sink,"She was wearing a wig." Harry added as he reached up and pinched his nose, clutching at the faucet to steady himself, "Just thought it was you know. Little weird. Since she gave her name and all assuming itwasher name. She was either hiding from me or from someone she thought would be nearby." |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Once they were in the bathroom, Perry instantly moves to grab for the towels. There was only a brief moment where his movements paused, just to take a look at Harry and make sure the other male wasn t going to keel face first into the sink. When he was assured that it wasn t going to happen, he moves to wet the towel with the bathtub s faucet, and then moves back to Harry. Sit. he orders, basically manhandling Harry to sit on the closed toilet cover. Using the towel, one that he would obviously throw away later, he gently dabbed at the streams of blood. With his other hand, he reached below the bathroom sink and shuffled through things to find the peroxide to stop the bleeding rubbing alcohol, while good for germs, would have been cruel. Even from Perry. Wearing a wig of course it could have been anyone. Nine out of ten, it probably wasn t even Elaine. the blonde mentally processed, but externally, he didn t respond to that. Instead, he found himself cleaning Harry up.He found himself dong that often, now that he thought about it. It was like he had some Munchausen syndrome and that thought was enough to make him shiver.With one hand on Harry s thigh, he leaned in closer to take a look at the gash on the other s forehead. The blood was trying to coagulate, which was a good thing, but the skin around it wasn t a pretty picture. It was like some kid had taken their paint set and slashed it all over Harry s face. Fuck and then, as if he was on delay, he found himself on the last subject they were talking about, rather than the case subject. You know that the guy who beat you up was some fuckup in a suit, not Santa. Some idiot that actually knows how to fight? because while Harry was an idiot, his fighting skills amounted to that of a five year old s. Then, there was a strange expression over his features, while he continued to clean Harry s face dabbing at the pink lips, smeared with blood. You do know that Santa doesn t fucking exist, right? One never knew with Lockhart. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Harry didn't bother to protest as he was tugged over to sit on the toilet cover he slouched back against the cistern, staring at the opposite wall he briefly furrowed his eyebrows, but thought better of it when the action pulled at the cut, sending a sharp pain through his head, reminding him that the numbness wasn't going to last forever. This was going to be a bitch in the morning.He became aware that, at some point, Perry had come very, very close so close, in fact, that when he tried, he found he could actually start counting the big guy's eyelashes but his mind couldn't focus long enough for him to get very far, he just knew there were lots of them.And that the hand on his thigh was warm and strangely comforting.He refocused when Perry spoke again, and Harry's expression dropped into a deep frown,"I guess I should stop writing those letters to him then, huh?" Harry asked, running his tongue over his lips to wet them, only to gather the taste of blood and peroxide."I stopped believing in Santa when I was six and he still hadn't brought me a new dad." Harry added, tacking on a lopsided smile, but it faded away just as quickly as it had arrived,"Who wants you dead, Per?" he asked again, voice suddenly flat as his nose continued to steadily run thick blood the world was going a little too bright all of a sudden. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | A small twitch around the edges of his lips was the only indication that Perry thought Harry s comment was entertaining. Other than that, he concentrated on cleaning off the blood on his partner s face. The only fleeting thought he had on Harry s comment on wanting a new dad why did they all have father problems? was: I ll be your daddy Thankfully, he mentally shot that one down and beat it like the hooker owed him money. No one that I know. he told honestly, noting that more blood was trickling down the nostrils. There s this one case just got it in the company s email a few days ago at this, he shrugged and tried to tilt Harry s head back so that the blood wouldn t gush all over. Seemed interesting, but I haven t picked it up. Elaine Ravan R. A. V. A. N pronounced Raven, is one of the suspects that this Mr. Mystery emailed about. Think that s the same woman? Did she seem to hint at the guy in the suit to attack you? Even as the blonde spoke though, he was leaning in closer and closer to Harry. Not that it was for personal enjoyment the other male was looking a lot paler than he d like to see in living people. Idiot, are you even listen? he didn t know how to voice concern, so that was the closest he could bring himself to ask. Two fingers shot out and gave a light tap against the back of Harry s head, in lieu of the usual harsh whack. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | "Ravan." Harry repeated pointlessly, voice distant as he processed the information with the speed of a drifting iceberg, "No I don't I don't think she "He shook his head and immediately regretted it, shutting his eyes as his entire head throbbed from the motion he leaned back against the cistern then, tilting his head against the wall to coincide with Perry's urging. For a long moment he was silent, his mind drifting away from the present, leading him back to the fountain, back to Elaine Bensen it was only when Perry's fingers came in contact with his head that he snapped out of it, his voice drifting back, one eye cracking open:" she waswarningme. She seemed, uh, scared." Harry said, adding, "Nice shoes too." |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Gay.At least, that s what he thought when Harry mentioned about nice shoes.Nice shoes? Evenhewasn t that gay that he d notice women s shoes.But now wasn t the time. What? She warned you. Warned you of the guy in the Santa suit? seeing that the other male was fading in and out, he frowned and began to maneuver the brunette into standing. Come on, Harry, stay with me. We re going to go to the fucking hospital. Well, didn t this make the best of nights?Wrapping his arms around Harry s waist, Perry tried to gently lead the other male back towards the car. All the while, he swore and cursed mainly at himself, as he had actually listened to Harry and assumed the other male wasn t injured. The other male was probably in shock and didn t realize he was injured, and Perry? Well, Perry had been distracted attachment towards the help was always bad, as it made a person forget bare facts and just ride on faux facts. Keep telling me about this Elaine Bensen. Anything you can remember. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | "What?" Harry asked, brows furrowing even though his eyes were still closed he just needed to block out the light, just for a little bit and then he would be fine, he was sure of it, "No, not that she just warned me she didn't even notice 'roid rage Santa. She said she'd brought me there under under false pretenses, she warned me to drop the case, said I'd you would end up dead."He felt arms around him, felt himself being pulled onto his feet his eyes opened again,"Hey, no, fuck you, I don't want to go to the hospital, I hate the hospital. Just give me some some advil. Tylenol. I'll sleep it off, it's not like my head got cut off in the door or something."Though, knowing his luck "Anyways, that one case was just finished so I don't even know what she was talking about." Harry said, clumsily attempting to remove himself from Perry's mother Hulk grip, aiming for the couch, "She was pretty keen on getting out of there fast though, like she had somewhere else to be. Giving me a death threat just before she had to run off to a party or or something. Said she'd scream if I followed her, how weird is that? She wouldn't even, uh, give me any information. Just that I you are getting in over your head." |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Dipshit, the case isn t over I haven t even picked it up. Perry sighed with a bit more force than necessary. He was beginning to truly worry about Harry s state though, as the other male wasn t exactly showing signs of full health. The blonde didn t keep a tight grip though, so the other male had easily slipped away and began towards the couch.Telling himself that he just didn t want the couch stained, he nearly yanked Harry by the waist towards him to keep the other male from actually sitting or lying down. Come on, chief you re loopy and fuck, still bleeding. Let s get you to the hospital. the silent for my sake and yours went unspoken, but he hoped that Harry got the silent message.With a second attempt, he began to drag Harry towards the door and hopefully they d make it towards the car. Most likely, the brunette had a concussion, and he was just lucky that Harry wasn t vomiting all over the place.As he held onto his partner yet again, he s reminded that it s not the gay kind Perry felt a strange sense of comfort. Harry s waist was small compared to his bulk. Not pansy shit tiny or like a woman s, but smaller than the muscular guys he was used to bringing home to fuck senseless. But it didn t mean Harry was any less comfortable to hold. Pleasant even, as they shared a small amount of body heat at the areas of contact.God, he better not get a Rodney while helping the fucker out. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | "No, I meant the other the other one," Harry said, lapsing into silence for an instant, and then expanding on it: "Thai hooker."He had nearly made it to the couch with the full intention of collapsing on it and maybe sleeping for the next three days, but two big, warm hands took hold of his waist and pulled him back again for an instant, his back connected with Perry's front and it occurred to him that the big guy was phenomenally solid."I'm not loopy." Harry protested pointlessly, even as he clung to Perry's shoulder to stay on his feet, "But could you please stop spinning the room? I can't see where I'm going when you do that."Harry closed one eye as though it might help him balance things out," I need a cigarette." he said, patting around himself until he located his pack he pulled one out and stuck it between his lips, but made no motion to light it, "Hey, aren't we supposed to be at a party?" |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | Great, he s fucking lost his last marble the detective heaved a mental sigh. It seemed like he couldn t help but sigh in frustration or despair whenever he was with Harry. Why couldn t his sighs be of conten It was a good place to cut himself off, as he began to bend down. Without waiting to explain, he hooked his arm under Harry s knees and picked the other male up like a bride. His features clearly stated that Harry was not to say a thing about how he was and he had to shudder at this, though the reason why was unclear carrying Harry. Yeah, we weresupposedto be. Doesn t fucking matter now, we re more than fashionably late. he muttered, breath ghosting over Harry s features. They had even more contact now than before, which made him wonder if it d be a bad idea to throw Harry down and have his wicked way with the brunette. Sure their friendship if there was anything of it and partnership more like a hound dog for trouble would be over as soon as Harry s back would hit the floor. But hey, 5 minutes of a quickie!. . .Yeah, not a good idea. So instead, like the good Samaritan he was, he nudged the door open, kept hold of Harry, and moved them towards the car. Whether the fuckhead wanted to go or not wasn t an option at this point. Hey, keep talking to me. Don t go to sleep or anything. Perry demanded of the brunette, trying to get Harry safely into the car.After three tries, he got frustrated and basically just dumped Harry on the ground, opened the car door, and shoved then moved to dump the other male into the car. The drive to the hospital was going to be a long one he could just tell if he was going to have to make conversation with Lockhart. |
Cheap Paperbacks (KittenxSeven) | If the world had been in disarray before, it was even more confusing when Harry's entire perspective altered Perry had swung one arm beneath him and was now lifting him like well, like a bride over the threshold, if the bride happened to have recently suffered a terrible head trauma."What are you doing?" Harry asked, bewildered and giving Perry a bleary eyed look, gripping Perry's bicep to steady himself, "Hey.Hey.Put me down."There was no sense in protesting regardless, Perry was still bigger than he was and Harry's wriggling wasn't doing him any good it ended with him sitting on the driveway only for an instant before he was unceremoniously piled back into the car."I know what you're thinking," Harry said, "You think I'm hurt badly. Bad. Is it 'bad' or 'badly'? Fucking adverbs. But I'm not. I don't need I don't need to go to the hospital."He probably did. He just didn't want to go because it was just more evidence of what a fuck up he was maybe if he could avoid the hospital, he could avoid having another mistake added onto his ever growing list. And then maybe if he didn't make that list grow, one day he could even get enough credit for Perry to trust him a little."S'funny, though, you usually want me to shut up." Harry added, looking vaguely amused. |
