“If he’s so intent on keeping it, then I don’t see what the problem of a partnership would be.” Rhys replied, looking over the couple. They seemed like a nice family, Chibon aside. He wondered why the teen was so set on the Spa. Family business or no, what would keep him from getting a new one when he wanted to?
The reason for the Spa’s sale mad Rhys’ nostril flare. What kind of insensitive bastard took out something on a kid? He had to know. “I don’t mean to pry. But want sort of accident? What kind of man would be so cruel?” Rhys wanted the man’s name so he could go beat the shit out of him. Nothing irked him more than a greedy person.

Said boy was playing with his toys with one hand, the other holding a stuffed cat toy closed to him, it looked like its seen better days but it was still clean and as well kept as it could get in its old age. The father looked at Rhys "Its not a problem to you but it is to him...hes a very independant child, he only asks for help when theres no other option that he hasnt tried yet....he wanted to take the business on his own and make it better, he wanted to make his parents proud...you could say not only was it his own ambition but also his dream"
The mother nodded "He really is a very nice person..." He sighed "As for the incident it happened three years ago.....Lu was only 3...he had wandered into the mans room having been playing hide and seek with Chibon" He placed the chopped contents in a bowl "Next thing anyone knows is he comes running into the main hall crying with a very angry man after him...apparently hed accidentally knocked over a one of a kind priceless item the man had won at an auction....." He sighed "Needless to say the guys face met Chibons fist...you could imagine how it went from there....."

Rhys looked at Lu, smiling a bit. The boy was very cute and he wondered if Chibon had ever looked like that. He ruefully dragged his attention back to the conversation. “I understand, but then…I don’t understand. If Chibon truly wants things to be better, then he should ask for help.” Rhys had learned that lesson the hard way. It was okay to ask for help sometimes. He also hated help from other people, but knew when to ask for it. It seemed Chibon had no quite gotten to that little bit of know-how yet.
“Well that’s fuc--” Rhys glanced at Lu. “I mean that’s really stupid.” He amended. “If the man was so rich, then why bother getting huffy about some vase? Obviously he was an idiot for leaving it laying around in the first place.” For some reason, anyone hurting Chibon’s family in any way made Rhy’s blood boil. It was people like that, that gave people like him a bad name. Running businesses wasn’t a bad thing, but it was the assholes who made it that way.
Rhy sighed, rubbing a hand over his mouth. “I’ve very seriously have regrets about this. I should just give the whole lot of it back to Chibon. It would be less troublesome…and painful too.”

The smaller male chuckled "Yes...Mates can be a pain at times...." The father nodded in agreement. The mother smiled, looking at Rhys "You are very perceptive...I never said it was a vase...the mans anger is understandable atleast....one of a kind items are hard to come by after all but it still gives him no right at all to do what he did out of his anger" The father hmphed "He enjoyed doing it too....as for Chibon dont worry about him...he'll get over it on his own"

Rhys coughed at the mate comment. “Excuse me?” Mate? No thank you. He shook the statement off though, and continued lightly. “I say a vase because I had a similar incident, though mine involved twins, a priceless urn, and a peanut butter sandwich. Needless to say I haven’t been into pottery since.” The Incubus sniffed delicately, not elaborating further. That had been a hellish day.
“Well if that dic -er dinosaur- comes sniffing around here again, I’ll bury him. Besides, I’d like Chibon to get over things now so he's not taking it out on me later. I hate being sucker slapped.” Rhy wanted it clear, very clear, that the only interest he had in Chibon was sexual. Sex he did, marriage he did not. He didn't want these parents getting any funny ideas for the reason he wanted Chibon as a partner.

The father snorted "Be lucky its just a slap....i'll tell you one thing he didnt sucker punch that guy..." A sponge hit him "Hey!" The mother gave a scolding look to which the father looked the other way, whistling. "As my husband was saying.....Chibon himself is one to act while he thinks...." He then smiled a dangerously sweet smile "And if i find out the only interest you have in my son is sexual you will find yourself a groinless incubus...." Werent humanoides suppossed to be sweet non-violent beings?.....must be what the father was hinting at when he was talking about Chibon. "Besides.....your wanting him to not be sad is only the beginning.....you'll see soon enough"

“Damn, you got me.” Rhys admitted to the truth easily, holding up his hands in surrender, forgetting not to curse in his discomfiture. How did the two know? Rhys himself was slightly suspicious of the idea, but had put the thought to the wayside. He was not interested in something like that at all. No way. He had seen his own parents at work, squabbling all the time.
“Seriously though, I think you’re jumping the gun a bit. I just don’t like seeing people upset is all. You honestly don‘t have to worry about your son around me. That‘s for sure.” It may have been a case of protesting too much, but Rhy didn’t care. He had come for a Spa, not a mate, and he’d be damned to have only what he wanted.

"And you think screwing him then leaving him will make him happy? Youve got alot to learn yet..." The father shook his head as the mother looked at Rhys again "Call it intuition....besides...nothings being jumped its the simple truth...you wont admit it to yourself but your attracted to him even if at the moment its merely a physical attractiveness...on the other hand, for the sake of mentioning it, not all matings are bad, the ones that are are simply mated to the wrong one"

“Not at all.” Rhys laughed nervously a little hot around the collar. Damn empathy. “I have plenty of other friends for that. I wouldn’t presume as much. I have no other serious intentions other than running this spa.” The half Incubus smiled, raking a hand through thick black hair. He was starting to get a little unnerved here.
“Pardon me if I beg to differ. I have yet to see a successful pairing other than your own. So please excuse me if I don’t readily agree.” Okay, when all else fails fall back to the cool businessman façade. That’s what Rhys did, hoping to keep his calm even though he was getting a little fidgety.
“You sure I should still stay for dinner now?” Came the hopeful question even as he began slowly backing towards the door.

"Its up to you...." Was the only reply from the mother "Dont say I didnt tell you though...." The falling gave him a look....basically he was telling him to get out while he could still get out alive. Lu looked up from his playing, blinking at Rhys before giving him a smile and wave.
Chibon was out on the shore, standing just out of reach of the ocean waves. The gentle breeze had picked up and was now a bit more then breezy. His hair and any loose part of his clothing swayed in the wind, skirt making its jingling sound.

Rhys took little Lu’s silent advice and hightailed it out of there very quickly. So it may have a been a little rude but the Incubus was far from caring. Those two men freaked him out to no end. When did that mother come to presume that he, Rhys, was a mate for their son? He shook his head. Damn empaths. He’d go back later and tell them to keep their sodding Spa. They could keep his money too for all he cared. He was not getting trapped into this!
Going nowhere in particular, Rhy headed towards the beach. The sound of the ocean, calming. Who he saw there wasn’t so calming. Chibon looked stunning just standing there in the wind like that. Rhys’ stomach plummeted and he…No! Damn it, no! Forget about it he told himself even as he walked over to Chibon.
“Dude.” He started. “You’re mother is off his nut. Consider the Spa yours.” That was all he said. He was not going to tack on another mother who badgered him senseless. One was enough for him.

He sighed "Keep it....you bought it....just ignore ma....he does that from time to time when his empathy becomes too much for him to handle which is only when hes over stressed......" He didnt turn to look at him, hardly moved a muscle at all "Why did you buy the spa to begin with? Didnt you want to turn it into something?"

“I bought it because…” Why did he buy it? Because he could? No, that wasn’t it. It was because…because…oh hell. Truth was good right? “I bought your Spa to get away from my parents. To get far, far, far away from them. Both of them, even my father, were driving me insane.”
Rhys was inwardly relieved to here what Chibon said about his mother. So the man was just yanking his chain! Well, that was good because he sure had Rhys going there for a bit. It was obvious his Incubus’ sexual instinct had been in full swing when he first saw Chibon. He mistook his lust for like.
“I’m glad. Not about you’re mother’s stress, just to hear he was making shit up.” Rhy was sweating a little from such a close shave with Fate. “I wished he wasn’t stressed though. Is it about that man who messed with your kid brother? Cause if it is I could take care of the guy real quiet like.” Rhys was still irked about the story from earlier. He was so going to find that jerk.

He blinked and looked at him "What he say to you?......" He shook his head "No.....hes stressing because hes worried...Hes having a baby and he doesnt know how theyed support it....savings can only go so far after all" He looked back to the water. He closed his eyes as the sun began to set, casting sunset colors on his entire being as he stood there.

“Nothing worth mentioning. I’m certainly not going to say it. You’ll have to ask him later if you want to know.”
Rhys was shocked when he heard the news of Chibon’s mother being pregnant. So that was the reason everyone seemed a little off tilt! A baby. Jeez. He thought the moons were going to explode from the way Chibon was acting.
“Is that all? I suppose congratulations are in order then. Even though your mother freaked the hell out of me.” Rhys stopped for a moment to enjoy the dappling of the sun in Chibon’s vibrant hair. He cleared his throat and continued. “I’m assuming here again, but you probably hate rich bastards and their help, right? Would I get smacked again for offering?” Whatever Chibon’s answer was, Rhys was going to help anyways. He already had the Xun’s account number. It was a simple matter in emptying one of his smaller accounts into theirs. To him, worrying about money was stupid.
