Life is full of suprises (Koray/Haruki)

[pohjaden]

Haruki froze. Wait… what? “Are you serious?” Man, just the knowledge that he was that much closer to mating his other half was lighting his body on fire. The incubus and the Zercan in him were practically yelling at him to claim the body next to him. He didn’t know how he would be able to wait four hours.

“Okay…wow. I don’t know how I will be able to stay away from you now.” Haruki took a few deep breaths. He would not go against his word. “I promised I would wait, and I will. Tonight, you will be mine…if you want, of course.”

Finally calmed down, he looked at Koray. “So, after we mate, I will become attached to you for a while. I will most likely become pregnant as well, due to my Zercan personality. I… I hope you don’t mind. Um…oh. We need to decide where we are going to live. Because of the mating and almost-certain pregnancy, it would be fatal for us not to be together almost all the time. Not that this discussion really needs to go on; it is a tradition that the newly mates would stay in the life-giver’s house.” Haruki sighed. “I will miss this place, though,” he whispered.

[koray]

As he saw Haruki freeze, Koray worried that he said something wrong. Hearing his words, Koray nodded his head giving off a soft smile. Running a hand through his hair, he could not help butlook at the older man once more. Hoping that things were all right.

Listening to Haruki, he nodded his head surpassing the chuckle that was coming to his lips as he heard what was being said. "I want to be yours Haruki, and only yours." He said with another smile, lightly squeezing the hand in his.

His eyes went slightly wide as he listened to what else the man had to say. 'Pregnant! How could that even happen?' He thought to himself as he thought it over. If Haruki was telling him this, than it must be true, and he was not pulling Koray's leg. "Wow, your not joking are you?" Koray asked, taking in a slow deep breath. Koray heard the part about living at the ones house, and Haruki made it sound like they were suppose to live at his. Flinching on the inside he knew that would not be a good idea. "Why can't we stay here?" He asked, "My home would not be the best place."

[pohjaden]

Haruki noticed the look on Koray’s face and his eyes widened. “I’m sorry. I haven’t explained the pregnancy thing. You see, the Zercan race is such that heterosexual couples are the anomaly. Because of this, and the need for reproduction, some males are born with the ability to bear children. Mating pairs are made so that one is a life-bearer and one is the life-giver – one bears the children and the other takes care of the family. Zercans have a fifty-fifty chance at being born a bearer, and I just happened to be one of them. As for you, humans can only bear children if they are the mates of interplanetary species like the Zercans. There are other species, but we can discuss that later.”

Haruki almost cried at Koray’s response. “Me too,” he replied, squeezing back on the hand. He didn’t think there was anything that could make this night any better. Nothing could mess up this night. Or so he thought, as he noticed the emotion in his mate’s voice when he spoke of his home. “What’s wrong with your living arrangement? I’m sure that you live in a wonderful home. But if you really wish to live in my house, that would be fine with me. Still, I would like to see your house. Plus, did you bring any clothes to sleep over in? If not, let me drive you to your house to get some. That way, I can visit and you can get your stuff. How does that sound?”

[koray]

Koray listened to what Haruki was saying, nodding his head every once and a while at somethings that were said. It seemed that it was important that he did listen to this greatly. Lightly biting the inside of his cheek, as he watched the man.

Giving off a small smile, he moved closer to the man, keeping ahold of his hand not wanting to let it go. Hearing the question about his living arrangement, he lightly bit his lower lip. "My mother and I we don't get along very well." Koray said softly, knowing that it was the truth, that they had not gotten along since the day his father passed away. "If you want to see it, thats fine. But I do warn you my mother... she's not all that nice."

[pohjaden]

[short, I know. I apologize]

“If you really don’t want to, I understand, but you will need some clothes. There is a possibility that… um…some of them might be ruined.” Haruki blushed and cleared his throat. “And I'm sure your mom isn't that bad. My parents suck too, but they're decent overall. Come on. We’ll take a quick trip to your house. Where is it?” He hoped that it wasn’t that bad of an environment. It would break his heart if his mate was raised in a terrible house.

[koray]

-its okay-

"Alright." Koray said, knowing the truth behind his words, that he would need clothes. And he could not help but smile as he heard the rest of that sentence. When he heard the words about his mother, he made a quick face before smoothing it out. "Things were good, until my father passed on. Then my mother started drinking and could not give a rats-ass about me." Koray then hissed out slightly, not meaning to put any anger in his words when talking to Haruki. "140 Spring st." He said, "first road on the left pass the signal light after Wilson Farms."

[pohjaden]

“Oh…I’m sorry. I didn’t know.” Haruki walked out to the car, wondering about what his mate had to endure. His parents had always been there for him, even when he didn’t want them to be. He could not imagine growing up without them.

The drive over to Koray’s house was relatively quiet, mostly because Haruki didn’t know what to say to make his mate feel better. Hopefully, though, tonight will help Koray remember that he is wanted now, at least by Haruki.

They arrived at 140 Spring Street and pulled into the driveway. The sun was setting beyond the horizon, and the night sky served to make the house look almost foreboding. “Are you ready to go in? The sooner we get in and get out, the sooner our evening entertainment can commence.”

[koray]

"Its okay, I learned to deal with it." Koray followed Haruki out to the car, seeing the slight far off look in his eyes. Wondering just what the older male was thinking right now, but he could nto bring himself to ask him this question. Biting his lower lip, he got in the car hoping to god that his mother was asleep, or she was not home.

The quiet was getting to him slightly, even though he did not know what he wanted to say right now. So he just rested his forehead against the window, looking out at the sun slowly make it way down towards the ground.

Seeing that they had arrived at his home, he took in a deep breath and sighed softly. Looking over at HAruki he gave a soft smile. "As long as your with me, I'll be fine." He said, taking in another deep breath before stepping out of the car.

[pohjaden]

Haruki walked around the car and grabbed his mate’s hand. "Come on." As they walked up to the house, Haruki took in the look of the house. It seemed like a plain single family home, but not all things are what they seem.

When he reached the door, he took a quick look at his brunette. “Do you have a key, or should I knock? We’re trying to sneak in, right?”

[koray]

Feeling a bit more comfortable when Haruki grabbed his hand, he followed him hoping that his mother was sleeping, and/or awayh with what little friends she had. It had seemed like a plain single family home, but if it was not for Koray cleaning every once and a while the place would look like a pig pen.

Hearing what his mate asked him, Koray reached into his pocket and pulled out the key. "I got a key right here." Putting the key into the lock he twisted his wrist and unlocked the door opening it. Everything seemed quite right now, and he could not help but sigh and take a few steps inside.

[pohjaden]

Haruki walked into the house. It seemed like it was okay, despite the junk in the living room. Still, it was a quaint little house. He wondered what could have made it such a hated [place to his mate. Mentally shreugging it off, he turns to Koray.

"Why don't we head up to your room and pack? that way, we can avoid your mother and be out of here as soon as possible." 'the sooner the evening begins, the sooner I have him all to myself,' Haruki thinks to himself, a light blush spreading over his cheeks.

[koray]

Seeing that his mother was not home at the time, Koray could not help but feel relieved at the fact. Running a hand through his hair, he walked over to the stairs.

"My rooms, upstairs." Putting his hand on the railing, he slowly made his way up them, not for the fact he did not want to move fast. There had always been one or two steps he did not like to step on, due to he felt they would break at any given moment.

[pohjaden]

Haruki noticed that Koray was being careful of where he was stepping, so he followed his mate's lead. 'What kind of environment was my mate exposed to?' he tried not to dwell on it for long. His mate would be living with him for now on. The thought alone brought his spirits up, as well as a light blush to his cheeks.

They finally made it to Koray’s room, and Haruki was a bit disappointed at how empty it looked. Sure, the boy had a few personal items around, but altogether he would have expected it to be a lot more…I don’t know… just more. Deciding not to mention it, he turned to Koray. “Let’s go ahead and pack up all your things. That way, we won’t have to come back. That is, if you decide to stay with me after these next couple of days.” They look the next half an hour making sure that they had everything of importance to Koray. Haruki spent most of that time thinking to himself about all the possible outcomes of tonight’s outing. Unfortunately, most of the scenarios he came up with were negative. He believed the boy when he said that he wanted Haruki, but how could he be sure that he still would after he learned the truth? After all, Haruki has never really been close to people, and he knew that his soul would shatter if he could not stay with his darling mate.

By the time they had finished, he had decided to put that behind him and just let destiny control the fate of tonight. “Come on, love. It’s time for our evening of fun to begin!” Haruki exclaimed with a brilliant smile. They had made it to the front door, and Haruki opens it only to run into an elderly woman – who looks suspiciously like his mate – about to put a key in the door.

[koray]

Looking at Haruki, he nodded his head, not wanting to be here any longer than what he had to be. And as far as he could tell, his mother was not home. but that did not mean to him that his mother would not suddenly come home. Once they were done, he smiled softly as he looked at Haruki. "I can't wait." Koray said with a small laugh as he followed his mate towards the front door. Stopping as he saw who was standing there just about ready to enter the house. "Oh Bok."[oh shit] He quickly said as he saw the expression cross his mothers face as she looked from Haruki to himself.

The woman decided to ignore Haruki at the moment and glare at her son. "Now where do you think your going young man." she all but snapped these words out. Hands now on her hips as she quickly cast one more look at Haruki. "And who the hell is this? what have I told you. You are not allow to have anyone in this house unless I am here." Raising her hand as if she was about to slap Koray. Causing for him to flinch back just at the thought.

[pohjaden]

Haruki heard his mate curse, and wondered why it would be a bad thing that his mother has returned. Thinking back, he did remember Koray stating that his mother wasn’t the best of people. After seeing the look on her face, he could see where Koray was coming from. The woman looked downright pissed. At the moment, she was passing Haruki by while yelling at his beautiful mate. Noticing the look on his brunette’s face, he was hard-pressed not to put this woman in her place. It’s true that he was always a dominant person – despite his bearer status – but he never took it out on adults. Just the unintelligent population of his own generation.

But when he saw her raise her hand against Koray, and his flinch back as if this has happened once before, Haruki snapped. Using his Zercan speed, Haruki disappeared, reappeared in front of his mate and grabbed the mother’s hand. Squeezing it just enough that it stung, he gave her a glare that would freeze the sun. “I understand that you are Koray’s mother and have the right to discipline him, but I swear; if you hit my mate I will seriously hurt you!”
