Manage This. (Rys/Croix)

[praiseofblood]

Marco looked at Rys, "Um hm," he said, kissing his mate. "And what are you really good at?" He asked, raising a brow.

[ode]

"Being annoyed," he said. He knew he shouldn't feel that way but he felt like ever since Drake got famous EVERYTHING was about the man. And now his very own mate seemed more concerned abotu the older giver. "Look, I'm going home until I calm down. I'll call you at your place when I do."

[praiseofblood]

Croix frowned, looking at his mate. "Rys..." he began.

[ode]

"I'll see you later," is all he said before walking off and hailing the bearest transport. Giving it his parents address, he headed home.

Brendan was surprised when the door opened. The only people who had the passcode to the place was Drake and Rys and both had mate's now. Poking his head out, his brows raised in surprise. "Rys? What are you doing here?"

"Don't worry. I'm just grabbing some clothes before I head out. Wouldn't want to bother you." He snapped which shocked the hell out of his giver. Taking a small suitcase, he put some clothes in and teleported to the Mentsai hotel that lined the river district. He just wanted some time alone to get used to living his life second best.

[praiseofblood]

Croix groaned running a hand through his head. "Fuck!" he sighed, moving to his transport and directed it to the Jukar house.

[ode]

Brendan and Niko met him at the door. "What the fuck is going on here?" Brendan wanted to know.

[praiseofblood]

"I don't know, we were walking on the river and he wanted to go to Zerca...I think he feels like I'm putting Drakary before him." he said, shaking his head. "But that's not true."

[ode]

Brendan didn't know what to say and so turned to Niko. "Where the fuck would he go - and why would he feel that way?"

[praiseofblood]

"I don't know sweetie, but I'll go to find him." he said, frowning.

[ode]

"I'll try downtown. Niko, try the river district, that's his favorite place. Croix... Maybe you should go with Niko," he instructed.

Rys sat on the bed hugging his suitcase to him. Okay, so maybe he was being a bit of a drama queen but was it too much to ask to be the only man in his mate's life?

[praiseofblood]

Croix nodded. "I'll try his AI." he started, calling his mate.

[ode]

Rys ignored the urging from his AI to pick up the phone. "Wish everyone would just leave me alone for a little while," he grumbled.

[praiseofblood]

Croix sighed, why was his mate being such a brat?

[ode]

Throwing his AI into the desk drawer he rung up some room service and got in his polka dotted pajamas and settled in front of the giant vid screen.

[praiseofblood]

Three hours later, Niko and Brendan had turned in and Croix was still out. He put in some calls to have people on the lookout for his mate.
