Saving Earth One Mate At A Time.

[ode]

"Yes, I always volunteer when I don't have to work." Showering and drying quickly, he went about getting dressed.

[fearless]

Zayvin got dressed quickly then went to him. "Where do you work?" he asked curious.

[ode]

"I subsitute at a school right now while I'm finishing my teaching degree," he said, grabbing his keys and locking the door behind him. "I rather like kids," he said with a shrugs.

[fearless]

Zayvin smiled, "Well if you like teaching maybe we should stay here..."

[ode]

Ode' choked, and turned to face his mate, "I love to teach but I don't like it here." He wondered at that question since he had told his mate many times he wished to leave. Was that Zayvin's way of telling him to stay? He knew it was a childish insecurity that had him wondering these things, but wonder them he did. He'd never been in love and never had someone touch him the way Zay had, with tenderness and aggression all mixed in one.

[fearless]

Zayvin nodded and moved to kiss him. "I just want you to do what you like. We can find a different town and you can teach there."

[ode]

"We'll see," was all he said as he unlocked his car and got in. He was wondering if he and Zay were to good to be true.

[fearless]

Zayvin watched him worried. "Ode are you alright?"

[ode]

"I'm just nervous is all," he answered honestly and with a shrug. "You seem so perfect and nothing that perfect can be real. I keep waiting for the other shoe to fall and you to tell me you were just joking all along while I've been acting like a lovesick puppy."

[fearless]

Zayvin frowned and pulled his hand to tough his heart. "That beats for only you. I cannot lose you, I'm your other half. I will never leave you Ode. This is not a joke."

[ode]

Ode's face was red as he stared down at his lap. "I want to believe you but no one ever stays in my live, Zayvin. Everybody always leaves, what makes you any different?"

[fearless]

Zayvin moved closer to kiss him deeply, "Tell me you can't feel that," he whispered. "We're connected it would hurt to leave you."

[ode]

"I do feel something - I love you - I'm just scared of what that means," he admitted, resting his forehead against the other males. "I don't mean to be dramatic or emotional or whatever... I just am not used to any stability when it comes to companionship or love."

[fearless]

Zayvin kissed him again this time on his forehead. "I'll show you. I am never going to leave you...I love you."

[ode]

"I-I want to believe you and I do on some level," he sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Maybe I'm just fucked and need to accept you as long as I have you."
