Tale As Old As Time

"I'm okay with being alone."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Dragon's smile slowly sank into a frown when he heard that Spike would be staying. "R-Really?" he asked, recalling seeing the monster attack all the workers, Phoebe included. Why was Phoebe so nonchalant about letting that beast stay here?! Wasn't he worried he'd get hurt again?!
The Wendigo blushed when he saw the host strip off his shirt, but his frost blue eyes were immediately attracted to the large bruise. For a second, a small flame of anger welled up inside the pit of his stomach, and his eyes darkened. "Why are you going to let him stay after what he did?" he asked.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"That is, as long as I'm alone with you."

Phoebe pulled on the fresh shirt, scratching behind his ear before starting to undo his pants. "Because there's no point in remaining angry if he apologizes," he said, stepping out of his pants and tugging on the new pair. "I mean, don't you think you deserve forgiveness after you say sorry?"

Dragon sank a little in his bed, remembering when he first learned about his demonic side's nightly cravings. What he did was unforgivable, too. He actually killed people! Phoebe was merciful to him, but Dragon never meant to hurt anybody. That man, Spike, on the other hand, did.
"I don't think just saying sorry is enough..." he muttered while looking away.

"That's what you think," said Phoebe, walking over and sitting beside Dragon. "But in my opinion, I have seen worse that has been apologized for. It isn't in me to hold a grudge, you know that. Besides, he seems truly sincere, and I want to believe the best. Trust my judgment, Dragon. It hasn't done badly for us yet." He reached to take one of Dragon's hands, raising it to his mouth to kiss it gently.

Although it was still obvious by the look on his face that he didn't like the idea, Dragon bit his tongue and nodded. "Okay." he agreed reluctantly. If he saw that monster treat anyone badly again, though, there was no guarantee that he'd be able to stop his Wendigo side this time.
"I'm more surprised that he talked to you." admitted the demon. "I didn't think he'd want to be around anyone." The fact that the beast was still here was surprising enough.

He laughed, waving his hand dismissively. "Well, he was scared. It's all understandable. But I'm not very intimidating, and I gave my word that we wouldn't hurt him. That earned his respect, I think, at least a little." Phoebe's hand moved to touch Dragon's shoulder. "How quickly do you think you're healing?" he asked.

The wince Dragon had was enough of an answer. "I-It's not nearly as bad as before, b-but it still hurts." he said while gently putting his own hand on his shoulder. He brushed his thumb against the lumps from the bite mark that was beneath his wrapping. The cuts weren't as deep, but they were still strong. Even his burn marks were still sensitive.

"Then that means we can't really cuddle in bed," he said, more disappointed than he thought he would be. "But that's alright, I'll just make sure that we spend extra time as long as we're together." He leaned closer to press his lips to Dragon's cheek, then stood up and started for the vanity. "Get some rest. I'm going to finish up some paperwork in the study, I should be back in an hour or so."

Dragon blushed brightly when he heard Phoebe's ulterior motive. "Y-You can s-still s-sleep here, though, r-right?" he stuttered nervously. Great, now he hated himself for not healing fast enough. He let out a tiny squeak when Phoebe mentioned making up for it. Plenty of thoughts began swarming his head, he slowly sank lower into his bed as the redhead moved to work on paperwork. As long as those maids stayed away and he was left with his thoughts he'd be okay.

After gathering what he had in the room, Phoebe walked over to kiss Dragon's temple before walking over to the door. "Go to sleep and get better, okay?" he urged with a smile, then walked out, taking care to look into Spike's room to check on him.

The man stayed in his healing prison, staring out the window and deciding on whether to escape now or not. It wouldn't be hard. He could fight his way through the weak people here and get away clean, especially with the alpha resting and wounded. However, if he left then that meant leaving the angel, too, and he wanted to protect him more than anything. After all, he was just one of the many creatures attracted to the alpha's strength. There were more coming, he could sense it.
Spike watched a bird pass by carelessly. Maybe he could hunt something and bring it to the angel as a gift?

"You know, you're supposed to be resting." Phoebe chuckled and walked into the room, standing beside the bed and crossing his arms. "How are your wounds? Have they healed any?" The redhead bent a little, reaching out to gently peeled up a bandage to check on the redness. "Huh, well you definitely need some more cream to reduce the redness and prevent infection, but you appear to be doing very well." He smiled up at the man before carefully smoothing the bandage back down.

"You're in here more than you need to be, and you know it." commented Spike as he looked at Phoebe. "Are you hiding from something?"

He shrugged, grabbing the blanket and moving it to properly cover Spike. "I wouldn't call it hiding. It's more like trying to find the answer to a problem that I just don't know how to fix." He sighed, then sat down on the bed and picked at a stray thread on the sheet. "Unfortunately, I don't have many friends outside of my estate. Even at the firm where I work, I don't speak with too many of my coworkers about matters that differ from work itself." Phoebe looked over to the door, pursing his lips in thought.

"What is it you need help with that you cannot speak to the Alpha with?" mused Spike with an intrigued tilt of his head.
