He glanced at Bucky “Your file..” He set it down, Brock didn’t ask questions. He knew how Bucky felt, he felt the same way.
Bucky paused briefly. “File?” he asked, finding his way to the table where he sat. “There’s a file on me?” Maybe that file could answer some of the things he couldn’t understand, things that confused him, making his conditioning easier to fight.
“You’re quite a bit better at it than me most times. I guess that makes us a good match too.” Alec’s eyes briefly closed as he felt Jace’a lips along his jaw, he resisted the urge to moan as this was more of an important moment than that. At least they were willing to fight for each other, he thought. If they weren’t then this would have never worked out and they’d made it this far, hasn’t they? Sometimes he bought that Isabelle knew what they were doing, but she didn’t scold them nor had she told anyone and if he trusted anyone with this, it would be her. “Okay,” Alec agreed with a nod. “We’ll be alright.” They had to be, for both of their sake. A moan did escape him then and he curled closer to Jace. “Mmm, me to…love you,” he breathed against his mouth. His hand trailed up Jace’s stomach as he felt the muscles there beneath his shirt. Today was one of those days that he couldn’t believe Jace was his. Unable to resist, Alec moved to straddle Jace as he deepened the kiss. If Jace wanted him to stop, he was always welcome to tell him to do so. “Mine,” he murmured as he trailed his mouth along Jace’s neck.
Jace gave a little smile. “Have to seem confident in front of others somehow, right?” he mused, content to just lay, but he loved the feel of Alec’s body against him, too. Hearing the moan, he grinned and pulled Alec closer, head canting to one side so Alec had better access to his neck. “Only yours.” he swore, hands ghosting along Alec’s thighs. “Gonna stay the night?” he asked. “It’s been a while.” He really was glad their rooms were close enough that they could stay in each other’s rooms, and it seemed like it was something they both needed.
The dragon didn’t know what to think of the human.
It was weird enough that the kid didn’t scent of shifter. He was just human, human enough to almost make Wade’s nostril’s burn, just pure scent untainted by the wild that would accompany a shifters human half.
It was even weirder that he was this far up the mountain alone, with enough supplies to last him days, as if he didn’t want to be in the village during the spring mating season.
Which… if he couldn’t shift, that would actually make sense. Of course he didn’t want to be there for the spring.
Wade followed the human for two days before finally revealing himself just a little, and the look of shock on the boys face made him laugh for days.
Five more days. That felt like so long away. She’d stayed behind at the New York Institute even though she could have gone with them. “Are you sure you can’t come home sooner?” She didn’t mean to sound so needy, but they’d already been gone a week. It didn’t feel right without them there. Lydia let out a sigh and said, “Sorry, I just….miss you.” The last part came out as more of a mumble than anything. “You’ll still call me every day, right? I suppose I could always get a portal over. Nothing is really going on here. I should have gone with you in the first place.”
Tara managed a soft laugh. “I can try. Most of what we came for is done, they shouldn’t need me for the last few days. I just need to clear it with the superior here.” he offered. He had once only wanted to go home to his own timeline, but with no way to get back, he had settled into a new place, with a new name to hide who he was. He had found someone to love, and he wanted to be home fairly badly. “I’ll send word if they let me come home, I promise.” he said, smiling. “I love you, Lydia.”
The human in Derek wanted to flinch as Seth snared him, but the wolf wanted to coddle and scent an apologize. He slowly released his legs, moving to carefully lay a hand on Seth’s leg. “I love you, too.” He answered quietly. He was still for a moment before opening his arms. “Can I hold you?” He asked, trying so hard not to panic at thw thought of Seth telling him no. Derek hated himself right now more than he ever had in his life, and yet he wanted to curl Seth in his arms and just hold him until Seth healed, which was coming along quickly and that only meant one thing.
Seth would turn on the next full moon.
“Its okay if you don’t trust me, I just…I want you to know you’re safe with me, no matter what happened. I would do anything to keep you safe. Absolutely anything.”
“Y-Yeah, of course you can.” Seth replied before moving to crawl into Derek’s arms, settling himself comfortably. Seth licked his lip as he turned in Derek’s arms to face him. “I trust you. I trust everything about you. I’m… I’m sorry if it’ll take some time for me to not be scared when I’m around you, but just know it’s not you I’m afraid of.” He wasn’t sure if that made any sense, but it did to him and he seemed to be okay with that. Seth hesitantly leaned forward, pressing their lips together. “Even running away?” He asked softly, letting himself lean against the other contently. “Because I don’t like that idea. I want you to stay right here and cuddle the fuck out of me.” Seth huffed and wrapped his arms around Derek’s neck.
Derek gently held Seth, leaning to breathe in Seth’s scent. There was a new, underlying scent that Derek recognized as newly changing wolf. It both comforted and scared him to cat h it on his boyfriend. “I know it’s not really me. What those drugs did to me…that’s what you’re scared of. And I’m so sorry that it happened.” He melted into the kiss, fighting the insginct to pull him closer. Seth’s next words finally made a laugh escape him and he leaned to kiss him more firmly. “Seth, I would willingly die if it protected you. I meant it when I said I couldn’t handle losing you.” He assured. “Here is where you need me, where you feel safe, so here is where I’m going to be.” He carefully lifted a hand, making sure to show Seth there were no claws before running his go hers through dark hair. “I love you, Seth Mitchell. You are my heart and soul. I would be nothing without you.”
Derek tensed, unable to look at Seth for the moment. “I…I broke my promise.” he said, his voice betraying him and breaking even as he tried to keep it even. “I swore I would never hurt you. And I could have killed you. I should have known it was you even with the drugs they’d given me.” His legs lifted so he could wrap his arms around him. “I’m so sorry, Seth. I never wanted to force this on you.” He felt like he was breaking inside, that once forgotten thoughhtabout being cursed coming right back with a force so strong it made his chest feel heavy and it was hard to breathe. “I don’t blame you if you hate me. I can’t blame you for it. But…” But I still love you even if I’m a monster. he finished in his mind, hiding his face to try and wipe away the tears.
“Are you fucking serious right now, dude? You should have known it was me?! Are the drugs still fucking with you?” He asked, stepping closer. “Derek there was no way you could have known. I don’t hate you.” Seth whispered, brows scrunching up in disgust at the thought of hating Derek. “You didn’t kill me, though. And even if you had, I wouldn’t have hated you. I know how drugs can affect your way of thinking. I know first hand what it can do to you and I know that had you been in your right mind, none of this would have happened. I love you.” Even though it was obvious how scared Seth was, he made his way even closer to Derek, allowing himself to sit beside him and nuzzled into his side. “And you can’t go around feeling bad about any of this because the others are great, but I need you to help me through all this.”
The human in Derek wanted to flinch as Seth snared him, but the wolf wanted to coddle and scent an apologize. He slowly released his legs, moving to carefully lay a hand on Seth’s leg. “I love you, too.” He answered quietly. He was still for a moment before opening his arms. “Can I hold you?” He asked, trying so hard not to panic at thw thought of Seth telling him no.
