Alone Together

[Kerin]

Kerin smiled and threw a look at his mum while the older man continued to laugh at the cute scene. He waited until Lorwynn was situated before he went over to the front door and barked, letting Lawrence know it was time to let them out.

The English man shook his head and did as he was 'told'. "Be good, you two," he called out as his son bounded out of the house with a merry hop. Boys...

[Lorwynn Orothinius]

Lorwynn gasped and grabbed a double handful of fur as Kerin got up and started to move, before easing his grip. He didn't want to tug, but this... was scary.

"Th-thank you!" he managed to call out over his shoulder. "You know, your Mum's really nice."

Ok. He was starting to get the hang of it, now. He had to move with him. Kind of like sex, but not. And no grabbing onto fur. Yes.

"Um, take a right over there," he said, meaning the next road down. "And then you just keep going straight through town."

((Sorry about Lorwynn's thoughts. He's a dirty dirty little boy. ^_^))

[Kerin]

Kerin made a small snicker; the vibration running through his body as he trotted on. "Ruff!" he exclaimed in thanks and understanding as he rounded the corner. Now just to folow the road...Hm. 'Follow the yellow brick road...Follow the yellow brick road...Follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road...Augh! It's in my head!'

Doggie-Kerin let out a whine, but continued on.

((^_~ S'kay.))

[Lorwynn Orothinius]

Lorwynn was enjoying the ride. He'd never experienced anything remotely like it before, and now that he was, he never wanted it to end.

He blinked a little when Kerin seemed to whine for no apparent reason. "Am I getting too heavy?" he asked, worried. "I shouldn't have let you carry me, I'm sorry.... If you just want to stop, I can walk..."

[Kerin]

Kerin shook his head as well as a dog can when running. No, that wasn't it at all! "Woof!" He continued on running, so Lorwynn couldn't get down even if he wanted to...Not that the blonde would prevent that if his mate really did want off. All he had to do was ask. He barked again.

[Lorwynn Orothinius]

"Oh, um... all right, then," he said uncertainly as Kerin continued to run. He blinked as he realized that they were close. "It's at the end of the block, anyway... that one, right there."

He supposed his house was pretty big. Well, it had to be, to house all of the people living there. He fidgeted a little, nervously. He really really hoped that none of his cousins were at home.

[Kerin]

Kerin smiled in a doggy-way; his tongue lolling out to the side betfore he licked his jowls and barked. He continued a bit further before slowing down and finally stopping outside of a...house?

It was more like a mansion! Well, Lorwynn had mentioned his large family, but...Whoa. His mate's family had to be huge. Vaguely, the blonde wondered when or if he would get to meet them all.

[Lorwynn Orothinius]

Lorwynn slid off as Kerin stopped, running a hand over Kerin's head. "You're such a sweetie," he said. "And your fur's all soft, too... aww."

He heaved a sigh. "Ready to go inside?" he asked. "If... you get a little weirded out, I won't blame you. We're a rather... open family. Clan. Same thing."

He walked through the ornate gates and up to the front door, heart hammering in his chest. He pushed open the door (unlocked, as usual.... they really ought to change that), and peered in carefully at the front hall.

No one.

"Oh, good," he started to say, when a blur of brown hair attacked him, and a pair of lips locked onto his.

Oh, shit.

[Kerin]

Kerin briefly wondered how terrifying it would be to have a giant, snarling dog standing over you and for it to be growling at you and baring its teeth...Because, quite frankly, the guy he was now on top of seemed ready to piss himself. Hm. Go figure.

The blonde dog had no idea what had come over him, but one minute he was patiently waiting for Lorwynn to open the dog into the mansion...And the next, he was pushing the guy who had kissed his mate over and then started snarling in his face.

Now to just think of a way to kill the bloody git...Well, he couldn't chew him up and devour him 'cause that's meat. Meat is yucky.

[Lorwynn Orothinius]

"Oh, shit," Lorwynn muttered, smacking his forehead into his palm. "I knew this was bloody going to happen, I just fucking knew..."

He reached out to stroke Kerin soothingly between the ears. "It's all right, dear," he said. "That's Gerrick. One of my many cousins. Now you see why I didn't want to come?" He sighed. "Could you turn back into humanoid form, please? Oh... dear. No clothes. Never mind."

Gerrick seemed to have recovered slightly. "Lorwynn!" he whined, muddy brown eyes hurt. "What did he do that for? I was just happy that you were home!"

Lorwynn sighed again. "I know... but honey, you've got to understand, all right? Kerin, here," he gestured at him, "Is my mate."

Gerrick's eyes widened. "But you're only 15!" he said accusingly. "And you... you're not mated."

Stupid Incubi senses.

"Yes, I know that, but he's my mate. And you, Mr. 13-years-old... you'd better shut your mouth. Some people find their mates sooner than other people do."

"Yes, but..."

"Gerrick! He's my mate, and that's that, all right?"

Gerrick pouted. He was utterly too cute when he did that, and he knew it. However, Lorwynn had seen that face (and used it) too many times to be much affected. "Fine..." he muttered slightly. "You just wait until everyone else hears about this."

[Kerin]

Kerin glared at the Incbus in front of him as best as a dog could. Hmph. Lorwynn was his mate. He would have said so, but alas, his mate was right...No clothes.

Getting a bit bored with Gerrick, the blonde sat on his haunches and looked around the room. 'Looking....Looking....Chair...Picture...Coat rack...Pict-! Wait!' he thought before getting up and trotting over to the coat rack. There were several coats on it and one especially caught his attention.

Since the Jshiko was larger then other dogs, if he stood on his hind legs, he could just about reach the...Following through with his plan of action, Kerin managed to pull down the largest coat on the rack without toppling everything.

Proud of himself, he twisted slightly and tried to fling it over his body. It only worked somewhat but it was enough. Concentrating very hard, the blonde transformed into a human again...Albeit one that was practically nude. He grabbed at the coat to keep it from slipping as he stood up and put his arms through it.

There. Now he had some sort of clothing...It only reached about mid-thigh though and he was going commando...BUT, that just couldn't be helped. He turned around and suddenlyt noticed that both Gerrick and Lorwynn were staring at him.

"...What?" he asked, walking over to his mate with open arms. He hugged the younger boy and rested his head against the other's. "I just made a pair of substitute clothes until I could get some others, luv."

[Lorwynn Orothinius]

Ohhh. He liked that Kerin was being so possessive. He also liked the fact that the coat was too short. He relaxed into the embrace, liking the feeling of being protected.

He saw Gerrick roll his eyes. "Never thought you'd become all gushy and sentimental," he said, annoyance in his voice. "I can't believe you went out and found your mate, Lorwynn! Gosh..."

The front door opened again, and Lorwynn stiffened. "Oh, yum... who've we got here?" he heard a voice say. Great. Gerrick's 19 year old brother, Terry.

He slipped around Kerin and Lorwynn, sliding an arm around his brother's waist and pecking his lips. "Who's the hottie?" he asked in a stage whisper.

"Kerin," Gerrick whispered back. "Apparently, he's Lorwynn's mate. Isn't it gross?"

"You know, I'd like it ever so much if you wouldn't talk as if we weren't right here," Lorwynn said, getting irritated. "Is it really that hard to believe?"

Terry blinked at him. "Well, yes. I come home for the first time in a month, and all of a sudden you've got a... well, not quite a mate yet, but--"

"Just because we haven't had sex yet doesn't mean we're not mates!" Lorwynn exploded, face red.

Terry nodded. "Mmhmm," he said skeptically, tracing patterns on his brother's stomach under his shirt. "Right. Whatever you say, sweetie. I guess this means I can't kiss you hello, then?"

"No. We're going upstairs to my room." He grabbed Kerin's hand and dragged him away from them. "I knew this was going to happen," he fumed. He muttered all the way up the stairs and down the hall to his room, opening the door with more force than was needed. He sat down heavily on the bed, pulling Kerin down next to him and kissing him briefly.

"I really am sorry about that, you know..." He sighed and got up. "Let me find you something to wear."

((...I just got going and couldn't stop. Sorry? ^^;)

[Kerin]

Kerin sat up and turned to watch Lorwynn for a moment before he spoke. "It's fine, and thank you...But I have a question," he said before chuckling. "Okay, so a little more then one."

He tilted his head towards the ceiling as if asking it how to word what he wanted to say. "First off...Is all your family like that? Oh! I mean...Will they all try to kiss you and stuff when we first meet them?" he asked, getting a little jealous and angry at the thought. He quickly smashed it down though.

"And my second question would be, why is it so hard them to believe you found a mate? For anyone who finds their mate, it's rather a sudden thing, isn't it? It doesn't happen over time....That's the love, not the actual finding." He looked back over at his own mate when he thought of something. "Besides, I thought you said that Incubi mate early in life...?"

[Lorwynn Orothinius]

Lorwynn shifted uncomfortably. "I... well. They're not bothered by the fact that I found a mate, it's that they're bothered by the fact that I found a mate. Me. I mean, I... get around a lot." He fidgeted nervously. "My entire family gets around a lot. Half of the people living in this house aren't legitimate. I'm one of the few that are. I'm more ostentatious than most," he said wryly. "And I've been disagreeing with my parents about the business of a mate for years. They're happily mated, but they're both Incubi, and they don't mind sleeping with other people now and then.

"As to your first question... well, yes. You've got to understand that it doesn't mean anything. Gerrick didn't mean anything... he really was just happy to see me, like he said. I guess it takes getting used to..."

He bit his lip, looking down at the floor. "You're not... disgusted with me, are you?" he asked, words halting and voice trembling.

[Kerin]

Kerin sat up and looked at Lorwynn for a few moments before pulling the other towards him. After wrapping his arms around his mate’s body, he spoke. “No…Not me. Besides, it would be rather ‘ard to be disgusted with the other ‘alf of your soul, wouldn’t it?” he teased before smiling slightly. “Besides, ‘ow could I blame you for doing what your nature calls you to do, eh? I can understand…To a degree anyways.”

He leaned his head against the top of his mate’s closed his eyes thoughtfully. “I can’t say I know through personal experience, but I can logically understand. Just as long as no one else tries to kiss you or anything, I’ll be fine.” He turned the Incubus towards him and pressed a kiss on his lips. “That right is reserved for me,” he said after pulling away.

It was then that he noticed the way Lorwynn was standing between his legs and how he still had no proper clothes on and…“So, what about those clothes, eh?” he said nervously.
