Pheonix shivered at the whisper and as soon as his mother retreated back into the kitchen turned, latching around Cleons neck, burying his face in the warmth. "No..." he shook his head, voice wobbling, "he'll be busy like always. He lives on a cruise ship...in the middle of the ocean somewhere. By now he'll be too far out for a phone connection to go through..." He burrowed his nose through damp hair and laid a kiss on Cleons neck before he could stop himself, pulling back and blushing.
"S..sorry....I didn't mean to...well, I did mean to but...." He broke off, pouting at himself, taking a breath before attempting to speak again," I just want the rest of my time here tonight to be great. I don't want my parents getting into a fight, or my mom.....doing things," he lifted golden orbs to study his mates face.

Cleon smiled a little and placed his finger under his chin. He brought Pheonix's face closer and kissed his nose. "If that is what you really want," he whispered, emphasizing 'really'. "I would not want you to be sad, knowing you never said good by to your life giver," he continued.
"I just want you to be happy... and not apologize for kisses," he said.

"Yes...it's what I really, trully want. I'm so happy with you, I wouldn't give it up. And i'll try not to apologize...guess i'm just a tad shy," he blushed as he leaned up to place a kiss on warm lips, jumping when pans crashed to the floor in the kitchen.
"Pheonix Dalorian Arashi!" He winced at the use of his full name and turned just as his mother peeked into the hallway. "When you put dishes away you put all of the pans into the wrong cupboard. Come and...." she sighed and waved him off. "Go have fun with your friend. I'll clean it up. Just remember next time when you do dishes." His shoulders slumped in relief, doubly glad his mother hadn't been drinking.
"Come on," he motioned to the stairs, "we'll go up and get those showers real quick then set up our little theatre. We can eat dinner up here and everything so my mom doesn't get stressed." Stress=alchohol, and he didn't want Cleon to see that.

Cleon entertwined his fingers with his mate's while they walked up the stairs. He wasn't sure whether or not he liked Pheonix's mother. She had seemed nice a second ago, when she said she would clean the dishes for her son, but every other time it seemed like she was yelling. He wondered what she would do tomorrow when she found out her son was gone, and would probably never return. And what about his father? The Dragonis' sighed inwardly. Pheonix told him he didn't want to see his father before he left, and he would have to obey his wishes. Only he wished he could bring him to see the man....
Cleon tightened his hold on the other boy's hand when they walked down the upstairs hallway. "Your mother gets stressed eating dinner with other people?" he asked quietly.

"My mother...." he sighed, wiggling his fingers, tapping them on Cleon's warm skin. "My mother gets stressed at the mere sight of me. She can hardly stand the people at work but she does it for money so she can get more...alcohol and food. I shudder to think how she'll act around people, much less if I ask her to eat at the table for once." He shrugged, telling it like it was. He wasn't about to sugarcoat his homelife. He didn't know how. He paused at the door to his room, turning to press his face into his mates shoulder.
"Don't pity me Cleon...please. I've lived through it for twelve years....since I was four. I've seen enough pity...just...love me, okay?" He looked up and offered a small smile before pushing his door open.

"...I will always love you," Cleon whispered. He closed the door behind him then brought Pheonix into a warm hug. "I just can not belie-" he stopped himself from rambling on about his mate's mother and her stupidity. The woman was his mother-in-law he realized. He kissed the red head's forehead.
"You know, you look so much like a Fire Breather. If I did not know better, I would say you were one. Most of them tend to be a little on the irritable side. You, sweetheart, are not anything like that though. You are the kindest person I know. Not to mention the most beautiful. I am so lucky to have you," he said softly, running his fingers through the other boy's hair the entire time.

Pheonix blushed, his face matching his hair, and ran his own fingers through Cleons hair, twisting the strands gently as he hugged him back. "Thank you....i'm more lucky to have you...I've never done anything to deserve you," he buried his face in a warm shoulder and smiled against Cleons soft robes. "I...I can't wait to meet your family. I'm so excited, and I have butterflies right here," he dropped a hand to rub over his stomache, wishing tomorrow was here, yet at the same time hoping his mother would see fit to keep this night special.

He knew there was no reason for his mate to be nervous. His family would love him, and he was sure his parents would care for him the way his real ones should have. Sure, they would be really surprised when they saw him... but that would quickly change into happiness. The boy was sure of it.
Cleon smiled mischeiviously. "Riiiight here did you say?" he questioned, and tickled Pheonix's stomach.

Pheonix let out a squealing laugh, squirming in warm arms. "Cl...Cleon..haha..sta--stop!" He finally managed to turn completely around, arms criss crossing over his abused middle, huffing and giggling. "You are evil," he glanced over his shoulder, pouting teasingly.
"Wait until I get payback," he was no longer nervous and he daringly pushed back into Cleon, grabbing the others arms and pulling them up around his shoulders. "Hmm..you're comphy..."

Cleon laughed, hugging Pheonix enthusiastically. "Well, I am glad to be good for something," he grinned.

"Oh..you're good for more than that," he nuzzled warm arms before turning again and kissing Cleons cheek before his courage diminished. "Come on, we're still wet. We'll get a shower.....uh..I mean showers and then we'll..um...clothes! We'll get clean clothes and set up the movie before supper." He flushed drastically again, mortified that he had slipped up on his sentence and had almost given up on the rest of the statement. How embarassing!

Cleon blushed lightly himself and the thoughts coming to mind at Pheonix's slip up. He rubbed the other's cheek. "That sounds good. You may go first, so you will warm up. Are you still cold?" he asked, even though he was sure his mate had said he was warming up some time ago. It was always better to double check though.

"N..not really." Not now anyways. He banished the thoughts from his mind that had popped up upon his slip of the tongue and pulled reluctantly away from his mate, going to his dresser. He pulled out a clean pair of boxers, rolled them up in a long night shirt and paused at the bathroom door. "When you come in here for yours, just hang your robe up. It'll dry. I'll find you some clothes as soon as I get out...or you can look through mine and find some. I'll wash your clothes downstairs then before tomorrow." Smiling he closed the door behind him, setting his dirty clothes in the corner.
He turned on the shower and slipped under the warm spray, letting it scald his goosebump covered flesh, hardly feeling it as he untangled his crimson locks.

He smiled softly as the door closed. No matter what Pheonix did, he was pretty while doing it. All the time. Especially when he was laughing. Cleon chuckled at himself and decided to find some clothes for himself. He was sure his mate would be too embarrassed to bring the clothes in with him when he knew he was going to be naked under the towels. Which made him remembered he still had his things at that hotel. 'Tomorrow....'
He found some grey pants and a blue t-shirt to wear, then waited on the bed for Pheonix to finish up.

He quickly rinsed salt from his body and shampoo from his hair, drying off just as quickly. He pulled on his clean clothes and brushed his teeth before gathering up his dirty clothes and tossing them in the hamper. He'd have to make sure to wash them then with Cleons. They were a set of his favorite and he wanted to take them when they left tomorrow. Grabbing a brush he slipped out of the bathroom, padding quietly into his bedroom.
"Your turn," he said quietly, pulling curled, deep red locks over his shoulder to dry before he attempted to untangle them.
