“I didn’t expect you so soon.” Seth admitted. “How’s Lia?” Seth could sense Peter wasn’t as calm as he should be and knew he was part of that reason. Shaking his head, Seth sat up slightly, moving his hand to rest against Peter’s arm. “I want it.” Seth whispered, eyes closing for a few minutes. “If that’s still an option. I… I want it.”

Peter kept his eyes on Seth the whole time, moving to lace the fingers of his free hand with Seth’s. “I could hear your call to Terra.” he admitted. “My senses are really high, is all.” he assured, bring their hands so he could kiss the back of Seth’s fingers. “She’s getting better, slowly. It’ll still take another day or two, ut she’ll pull through. We found an antidote in time.” He answered, losing his breath as Seth spoke. HE adjusted so he could look Seth in the eyes, the red steadying. “Seth…honey…are you sure?” he asked, eyes watering from the emotion he could feel. “Of course you still have that option. I would never ever take that option away from you.” he swore, leaning over to kiss Seth softly. “You and Malia are my everything.”

“I’m not paid to enjoy myself.” Seth muttered. Tilting his head, Seth blinked at Peter. “A bonus? What would that bonus be exactly?” He questioned. Seth didn’t want to seem too greedy, but he could use whatever he could get. Even if it wasn’t money. More than usual… Right. Seth recognized him. Around the club. He flushed, realizing that the male knew exactly what he could do and if he wanted to impress him, he’d have to try harder than normal. Nodding his head, Seth cleared his throat. “Right, well, I’ll head out and get started then.”

Peter held up his hands innocently. “Whatever you prefer.” he assured. “I don’t know. Maybe lunch or dinner?” he offered. He led the way to the back patio, opening the door to the music and decorations. “The DJ is just over there,” he pointed. “You’re free to get something to drink or anything if you want, though.”

“Oh.” Seth blinked before nodding slightly, allowing himself to step inside. He shifted awkwardly, glancing up at the male before shaking his head. “N-No. It’s okay. I mean I wasn’t invited here to enjoy the party. I was invited here to work. So… You’re the one I’m really here to impress, right? I mean, I promise everyone should be impressed, but you know there’s always that specific person you should want to impress the most.”

Peter gave a little laugh. “No, enjoy yourself if you’d like. The dj is open if you have any specific music you’d like him to play?” he offered. “Yes, that’s true. Maybe if you impress me more than usual, I’ll add a bonus.” he mused, grinning. Really, he just wanted to get to know the younger male. He’d been single for so long that to suddenly want a deeper connection – a real relationship – scared him and he wasn’t sure how to go about it.

“Peter.” Seth whimpered, closing his eyes tightly. “Fine.” He sighed and told the other male where he was. “Please just… I need you here. I’ve got – got my other hand on my waist and can I just say I’m beyond glad there aren’t vampires because that’s a can of worms I don’t want to open.” He chuckled, whimpering again because of it.

Peter knew his wolf was close to the surface as he sent an emergency alert to the closest team he had near Seth – wolves the lot of them that oculd be there in just a minute or two – and hoping they could get him to the doctor in time. “Just hang on for me, Seth. I’ve got a team headed out.” he promised. “They’ll get you to safety and get you patched up until I get there.” His voice was sort of a growl, wanting to break something. As Malia walked in, hearing her father’s voice, he held up his hand. “No, vampires are long gone, dearest.” he replied, unable to see the panic that flashed through Malia’s eyes, blue glowing as she watched him. “But when I get there, we need to seriously talk about giving you the Bite.” he said shakily, tensing as Malia touched his hand on the laptop. “They should be getting to you in a moment, okay? Stay awake while they carry you. Talk to me.”
