Manage This. (Rys/Croix)

[ode]

Rys stared after him with a pout. Stomping his foot, he walked over and slammed himself back in the chair. This was so unfair!

[praiseofblood]

Marco sighed as he made it outside. He ran a hand over his face. Damned kid, damned, crazy ass kid. He cursed, shaking his head.

[ode]

Rys impatiently waited for Drake to finish before huffing. "What now? When do you see him next?"

[praiseofblood]

"See who?" Drake asked, wiping explosion dust from him.

[ode]

"Cr- You're manager, duh," he rolled his eyes. "I need to... learn more about this business."

[praiseofblood]

"Sure you just don't wanna get into his pants?" Drake asked as he headed to his transport.

[ode]

Rys weighed his options before answering that. On the one hand he could say yes and his brother could be cool and thankful he was actually chasing a giver this time. On the other, knowing Drake, he'd probably try to fire Croix and he'd never get to see the guy.

"Don't stifle my creativity, Drake," he scoffed.

[praiseofblood]

"Creativity my ass." Drake scoffed, but said no more as they got in his transport. "You hungry?" he asked, looking at his kid brother.

[ode]

Rys tugged his jacket back on and nodded. "I could probably eat. Nothing too bready though. I need to keep my shape, ya know? Catch more flies and all that."

[praiseofblood]

"When dad sees you in that outfit you'll catch nothing but hell." Damien said with a roll of his eyes as he instructed a driver to take them to a local cafe.

[ode]

"I'm into modern fashion. I'm sure back when dad was my age, he probably wore something he thought fashionable despite what grams and granddad used to think." He shrugged. "Besides, I plan on transporting directly into my room. So how will he know if you don't tell him?"

[praiseofblood]

"Yeah, but dad's a Giver, not a bearer who can get pregnant." he said with a roll of his eyes.

[ode]

"Can't get pregnant without my mate and he hasn't found me yet, so ha," he said flippantly and then frowned as a knot formed in his stomach and the image of the cool Croix surfaced in his head. Wow... It made sense now. THAT was why he was instantly attracted! THAT was why he wanted the man so badly...

Nevermind the fact that he had stalked a few people before this. THIS WAS IT!!

[praiseofblood]

Drake rolled his eyes. "Whatever kid, just don't annoy me and I won't tell Dad on you."

[ode]

"I am having an enigma here. Now hush boy, hush your lip," he bounced a bit in excitement. Ha! Croix could run and he could hide, but he had to give in eventually!

Three long days later, Rys got the chance to see the man again.
