Love the Way You Lie -- Mizell x Rhys

[istaya]

Alex looked to him feeling hurt, "I am not trying to make excuses..." he protested angry. He flushed and looked down as the wind started to rush around him, this was Alex's powers, his insecurities were coming to the forefront. "I am not...not good enough for you. Your experienced....you will not like me."

[Ephemerality]

Rhys simply sat back, watching the little argument unfold with a tiny, amused smirk on his lips. But Liam didn't seem to notice, too occupied with Alex's words to even look at his younger sibling.

"And who says I don't like inexperienced bearers?" He said, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms, "I thought you'd pick up on that after I nearly tried to get you off in the theater."

"Oho, so something did happen," Rhys grinned like a Cheshire cat, "I knew it!"

[istaya]

Alex looked to him flushing a bit then looked to Rhys. "Don't tell Mizell..." he whispered. He bit his lip, playing with his lip ring, "But you did not know...I had never...done...that..."

[Ephemerality]

"Like I would tell him. I don't want to listen to him bitch," Rhys snorted softly, then fell quiet and butted out of the argument.

"Look," Liam groaned, slumping in his chair as a hand came to his face, rubbing at his brow in exasperation, "You're doing that weird.. bearer.. thing. That thing you pull where you just create problems where there aren't any." He sighed, red eyes opening and settling on Alex, "If I tell you that I want to do this, I want to do this. I don't fuck around with bearers. And frankly, you insisting that I would drop you just because you're a virgin is kind of pissing me off."

The man's voice had rose a bit as he spoke, pulling in the attention of more than a few people nearby. Only after the fact did Liam look up and notice, but he didn't seem to care. The cool, calm exterior had been disturbed, and he was beginning to feel annoyed.

"You're making me sound like I'm some heartless bastard who just wants a good fuck," He huffed, "So thanks for the compliments on my personality."

[istaya]

Alex looked to him as he spoke flushing as everyone started to stare at them. He huffed, "I'm sorry ok?" he demanded. "Givers like that are all I have ever been around. I mean...you know Mizell right? And...I...don't know why you would even want to be with me." He stood whirling on him, "Just forget it ok?" he demanded and rushed out of the ice cream shop. He was creating problems to push him away, he was good at pushing people away, he was afraid to get too close to them.

[Ephemerality]

"You suck at this," Rhys said to his brother as Alex got up and rushed out of the store. Liam sighed deeply, not even deigning to answer him as he pushed himself up and hurried after him. He didn't stop until he had caught up with the other, gently grabbing his arm and pulling him into one of the alleys.. before pushing him against the wall and taking a much, much desired kiss. He only pulled back after a long moment, though kept his face close, his eyes on the boy's face, and his voice low.

"You know what that was?" He said, "Something I've wanted to do since the very damn moments we stopped kissing in the theater. I don't care if you're as big of a whore as Rhys or if you're a celibate priest. None of that matters, Alex. I just want you."

[istaya]

Alex gasped as he was pinned against the wall then kissed him back. He looked into his eyes as he talked, startled that he wanted him. "Why do you want me?" he whispered playing with his tongue ring. "No one wants me for anything but sex or slavery....and you said sex was not it. So why...why do you want me."

[Ephemerality]

"I don't know. There's just something about you that draws me to you," He sighed, pressing his forehead to the other's, "Just trust me?"

[istaya]

Alex looked to him then shyly kissed him, "Ok...but...but we have to go back to Rhys...Mizell would get pissed if he got hurt."

[Ephemerality]

"Shame. I think Mizell would be the only one to miss him," Liam teased, though it was untrue. Even if the two of them bickered and made fun of one another, they still loved one another in their own weird ways. "Let's go, then," He said, pulling back and taking the boy's hand to lead him back to the ice cream parlor.

[istaya]

Alex smiled to Rhys went he saw him, "How are you feeling?" he asked softly as he sat next to him. "You want to do anything else today?"

[Ephemerality]

"Entertained," Rhys answered, "Thanks for the show." Finishing up his ice cream cone, the boy stood, looking to the door. "I can't really think of anything. What do you want to do?"

[istaya]

Alex flushed a bit but he took Liams hand anyway. "Maybe we could go shopping for baby things?"

[Ephemerality]

"Baby things.." Rhys repeated the words, and a soft mumble of approval left him. Though, what all did he have to buy, anyway? He had never had to shop for any babies, not even children of friends or cousins. He honestly didn't have the first clue.

[istaya]

Alex beamed, "This should be fun, maybe we can get a nursery here for when you visit. And stuff for a nursery at home with Mizell. Of course you guys have to buy a home, near me maybe? Or you can stay in the condo above the club...but thats not a good place to rasie a baby." Alex was talking quickly, not even taking a breath, he was that excited.
