Wherever the Wynd Takes Us ((Feara/Alei))

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"Oh, okay. Is there anything I can do to help either of you?" I ask, wanting to feel useful.

Feara looked at the boy with a raised brow. "You can shut up and sit down." he said irritably.

"Feara." Caira frowned, his tone hard.

"What?" he asked, looking at his brother.

"Stop that."

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I sat down and stared at the floor, thinking about my mom. She died of an unknown disease a year before I was sold into slavery. Her death was what caused my father to descend into alcoholism. He sold me into slavery to buy more alcohol. Stars, I miss her.

Caira finished cleaning and headed from the room to his dance studio, sighing. He had too much excess energy.

Feara observed the kid, "What are you moping for, kid?" he asked, with a small frown on his beautiful face, tapping his fearsome red claws on the table.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"I'm just thinking about my mom. And, I do have a name. It's Alei, not kid."

[praiseofblood]

Feara looked at the boy, "I didn't ask you for your name, for a reason, kid."

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"Why's that?" I ask, confused. Then, it hits me. "You don't want to get attached. Look, you'll have to open up to somebody eventually, or you're goning to die alone, Feara. All alone." With that, I got up and left him, just to prove my point.

[praiseofblood]

Feara blinked raising a brow. Weird kid. He didn't care about being alone, he and Caira had been alone all their lives, and they'd be together. He didn't need anyone else, especially not some snotty kid.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I went and visited Caira in his dance studio. He was playing some rock and roll, and dancing something spectacular. I watched him until the end of the song, then started clapping.

"You're amazing! I wish I could dance like that." I exclaim, smiling my first genuine smile in years.

[praiseofblood]

Caira looked at the male in surprise. When had he gotten here? "...thank you." he said after a bit, his eyes downcast as always.

"Did you need something?" he murmured quietly.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"Not really. I just want to watch."

[praiseofblood]

Caira looked at the male full on, his brightly colored eyes full of surprise. "Why?" He asked, cocking his head.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"I-I've always wanted to dance, but, as a slave, I never got the chance to learn. I was thinking that by watching you, I might learn something." I blush and look down, avoiding Caira's gaze.

[praiseofblood]

Caira was silent for a time. "Come." he said, pulling the boy closer as a softer tune began playing. Caira began teaching the boy.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

Caira taught me to dance, and I learned quite quickly. We danced for over an hour, until Feara came in.

"Hey, Feara." Caira called. Feara looked at us in shock, I was in the arms of Caira. He growled at us, causing me to jump and run out of the room, crying.
