The Emerald Tales (BastinxKalin)

[fearless]

Kalin froze trying to listen to whomever was outside. He quickly pulled out from under Bastian. "I...its my bearer," he whispered fixing his clothes quickly. "G..get decent."

[ode]

Bastian raised a brow at the fear in his mate's tone. He didn't like that at all, but did as asked and straightened him shirt out while smoothing down his hair. "What now?"

[fearless]

Kalin bit his lip then looked to the door as his bearer knocked on it. He quickly went to open it hoping he wouldn't ask. Rovin, the bearer, looked Kalin over, "I brought snacks. But your father and I want you to come downstairs and hang out in the living room."

[ode]

Bastian couldn't help the smirk that came to his face. Stars, he felt like a naughty child being scolded for snatching sweets.

[fearless]

Kalin nodded, "We will be right down," he promised then looked to Bastian once his bearer left. "I think he knows..."

[ode]

Bastian smiled toothily, "You think?" He couldn't hold back the laugh, enjoying the feel of being so young and answerable to someone. "To Blanserta with him, you are my mate. Who cares what he knows?"

[fearless]

"He can kick you out," he muttered and looked away. "And I care what they think."

[ode]

Bastian made a face, but only where his mate could not see. He hated playing by the ruled. Damn it. Sighing deeply, he reached over and punched hismate gently in the arm. "Come on, man, have you heard about that creepy daemon that hunts in the city. Whoa, thats crazy! I'd like to... well, I'd like to," he paused in his childish acting and frowned. "I wonder what a kid would like to do?"

[fearless]

Kalin chuckled and quickly moved forward to gently kiss him. "I'm sorry...I know you don't like this. But its better this way...I don't want them to send to away."

[ode]

Bastian accepted this kiss and went a step further by taking his mate's hand in his and pressing a soft kiss to the palm. "No, I don't like this business. But I will do it for you, I will do anything to be with you, Kalin, and I mean that."

[fearless]

Kalin blushed, that was so sweet, and he liked it. Kalin nodded then slowly pulled away, "Lets go before they come back up..."

[ode]

Bastian once again did as asked and followed his mate down the stairs at a leisurely pace.

[fearless]

Kalin smiled to his parents as they looked Bastin over. "So what is your name young man?" he giver demanded.

[ode]

"Bastian," he gave the short expected bow that all younger men gave the elders. "I am honored to be in your presence, sir."

[fearless]

His giver smiled, "How did you meet my son?"
