It was Nixis' turn to be surprised. Blinking for a moment he bust out in a laugh. "Sorry, sorry," he waved a hand at the guy and then leaned back to breathe. "Too much too soon, teeheehee, I forget that sometimes..." he wiped his eye and cleared his throat. "Let me try again alright," he offered out his hand to shake. "Nixis Nova. A pleasure new boy. Me and Gabryle have been tight friends since he saved my a** a few times. Now we're good friends and thick as thieves. He wouldn't have asked me over unless it was important. As wonderful as I am, not even he can handle me," he shot a saucy look to Leo.
"So don't look so uptight! Chill out man. I helped Gabe get settled into a human life here, I know all about him." Nixis chuckled. "Ah, you can call me Nix if ya like. And Gabe is always taking in strays to help them out. Guess he feels a kinship to them since he was kicked out once too...."
Relaxing back into the couch he smiled a bit mysteriously. "Don't worry about me okay~ All your secrets are safe with me. . . . Unless they're really juicy and should be shared: like that one time I tried to jump Gabe's sexy a** and it just ended up in a big mess and me with a broke nose," Nixis laughed about that. It had been a big mess but Gabryle had been pretty sexy at that moment and did need some cheering up.
"Anyways, go ahead and feel at home okay," Nix spoke softly and soothingly while reaching over to smooth the wolf's hair. "Gabryle's place is safe, promise." |

Leo tensed ever so slightly when Gabryle leaned over his shoulder, but it was hard to notice. He shifted on his feet a bit and covered the pot with the lid that fit is snuggly. "Stew," he stated dejectedly, having been disappointed with himself for so obviously screwing up something so simple. He turned the temperature down, letting the pot finish it's last round of cooking by simmering. With little luck, it'd be saved with this last bit. He scooted away from the bigger wolf, thankful for his gangly stature and went about to set the table in silence.
His feelings were easy to read. Leo was such an open book. The crease on his forehead as he thought back to what he'd done to ruin this simple dish, as well as how he'd miscalculated the measurements for the spices. Perhaps, next time, he should try less of each type? But he used the correct spoons, did he not? He finished setting the table and stared at what he'd accomplished. Well.. at least he did something right. Three settings for three people.
The timer he'd set peeped away and he moved towards the stew again. Then, he lifted the lid and grimaced as he did so. It smelled alright, but what did that mean? He'd never eaten this sort of food before.
"Uhm," he said softly, finding something to ladle the stew into to place it on the table. "It's... done." At least the bread he had was store bought. |

Loe felt himself flush a bit at the pat and muttered a tiny thank you to the other. As he tasted, he noted the strong salt flavor and he grimaced a bit. Lucky for him, the bread soaked up most of the salt. All-in-all, it was a satisfying dinner. Once finished, he cleared the table in silence, waving away any help. He didn't need it, he could do it entirely on his own, thankyouverymuch. After all, if he was going to clean for a living, he needed to do this all by himself!
Dishes took him a little longer than they should've, but he'd gotten particular about them not being clean enough. When finished, he looked at his fingers. Pruny. He rubbed the ridges and dried his hands, letting his sleeves roll back down. He turned to the men then. "Uhm... Excuse me. I'm going to go and take a bath..." He left quietly then and disappeared into the bathroom, leaving Gabe and Nixis all to themselves.
Nixis. Something about him put Leo off, but he couldn't quite figure it out. |

Gabryle ate seconds and thirds while Nix only had seconds. "You eat like a pig..." the redhead teased while the wolf just flipped him off.
After dinner both offered to help but where shut down. Gabe was more than happy to just watch, again, Nixis went off to watch cartoons. When the smaller male went off to bathe after taking too long to wash up the dishes he followed the other to the couch. "He can tell you aren't normal..." Gabe sprawled his legs out and tossed an arm over the back of the couch. "Kid's got good instincts."
"Oh stuff it... Then again I swear I smell just like a human..." Nix shrugged and sniffed his armpit making the other snort a laugh. Smiling back at him he soon became somber. "Still, Gabryle, be careful with this one," he removed his eye patch and looked in Leo's direction. "He's special..." his luminous blue eye swirled in stark comparison to the endless deep of the scarlet red one. "You might want to hold onto this one a lil tighter than usual. Unlike the rest this one might just--" he stopped himself and tilted his head at his friend. "Hm... Well maybe I'll tell ya laterz," he hopped up. "Anyways, I'll have work next week so I can't be on call to babysit. That cute lil blonde Even may be able to~" he wiggled his eyebrows. "And I know for a fact he's into you so he'd do it." Laughing the redhead replaced the eye patch dancing away from the tossed couch cushion. "Ciao!" And like that he was gone, a few small fluffs were left.
"Dumbass..." Gabe grumbled getting up to clean up the left over salt and pepper mix of feathers. "Making a mess for me to clean up...." Still he paused and looked in the direction that Leo went. What had that halfbreed been talking about: Holding tighter? Watching him? True Leo would have someone(s) looking for him but it couldn't be that dangerous. If anything he could make Nixis spill but it didn't seem like it was something he couldn't handle. "And like hell I'd let Even see this place," he snorted in disgust. Even Free was a friend and only a friend. So what if the blonde was a cutie and a regular at the same gym. He was 100% human... and not one night stand material.
Sighing heavily he rolled his neck letting it crack them put up the leftovers, if he'd left any that is, and going to bed stripping on the way. |

Leo looked at him for a moment, rubbing his arm as he did. He'd been in this home with this man for just a short time, and already he felt more accepted and comfortable than he'd ever felt at home. He shook his head slowly then, and smiled a bit. It was warm, and it looked right on that tall, scrawny boy. "I don't mind him. I'm not sure... if I should understand what sort of creature he is, but he seems to truly adore you."
He shifted from foot to foot and then quite suddenly bowed really low to him. Something an Alpha would've never done to anyone. "Thank you!" he exclaimed. "You don't understand how important this is to me, and how comfortable I feel around you! I'm sorry, I hope that doesn't sound... strange." He straightened himself, looking determined. "Tomorrow, I will find a job so I can afford my own clothes and help you in your home." Or at least he hoped. By human standards, he was an illegal alien.
Werewolves didn't understand human society. He had no identification, no birth certificate, no permits for anything. These things... he had no clue what they were. Unless he found someone who'd pay under the table, he was out of luck.
"Uhm... good night," he said and quickly went to curl up on the couch.

Gabryle couldn't help but smile back. Leo literately warmed him with that smile. It was probably the first real smile he'd gotten from the other alpha since letting the boy into his home. "Don't try to figure him out," he chuckled. "One moment he's as sweet as an angel the next a damned devil...." telling words if you knew the red head well enough but to anyone else just a comparison.
When the other started sinking to his bow Gabe hissed in a breath, completely taken aback a this. It was a big deal for Leo and Gabryle too, because when he'd been cast out it hurt not to have another to lean on. His idea of helping those out of luck was his own personal way to pay it forward for how lucky he'd been to be picked up out of the gutter and cared for. The fact that Leo was more graceful about it than he'd been kind of made this mushy feeling in his gut. So honest with his feelings...
"Yeah, nah... it's cool...." the large man shifted, his face a suspicious shade of light red. The other went off to the couch and he went back to his bed. Though he didn't sleep but put in a few phone calls. Leo couldn't work unless he was documented and he had a few favors out there. And if push came to shove he'd just make Nixis do it for him.
The next morning Gabryle was up early sipping coffee and eating his breakfast, trying his damnedest not to wake Leo on the couch. If the kid wanted work he could ask friends first if they had space to pay him for extra labor.
Even Free worked at a bar, several in fact, they always needed help and would be happy to pay under the table, Nixis, was a last resort, and the place he worked was too hard of labor for the scrawny kid to just start in. Beside he didn't know the first thing about humans yet.
Leaving a note to just clean the house he went to work making calls the whole time. |
