“N-No.” Seth shook his head slightly, not even caring that Peter couldn’t see him. “No, you don’t have to send anyone. None of you would get here in time anyway.” Seth whispered, even though he knew that Peter could hear him as if he hadn’t. “Can you just… stay on the phone… with me? Talk to me, please? I- I like hearing your voice.”

Peter froze and set the pen down. “Seth, what happened?” He asked, worry clear in his voice. “I have contacts there who can get to you. Just tell me where you are.”

Behind the Masks | sttormsofnight

Malika finished the last of her makeup, smiling at herself before going to turn in her full length mirrors. The navy gown fit her in all the right places, and the little jewels made the mask stand out a little more; plain black and settled over hazel eyes in the shape of cat eyes. Blonde hair was loose and tied half back, waves cascading down her back as the string that held her mask rested snugly under the top half of her hair, a princess tiara on her head with diamonds and sapphires before she made her way out into the hall. She paused briefly, looking before she laid eyes on her favorite person. “Seth, don’t you look ravishing.” she mused with a smile as she joined him. “Ready for your first official party as an elite?”

Seth closed his eyes as Derek kissed down his body, a hum falling from his lips. “I love you, too.” He stated softly, keeping his breathing normal. Last thing he wanted was to have a panic attack during their first time.

The wolf could tell Seth was worried, or at least anxious, and he kissed a trail back up his boyfriend’s body. “Hey, I got you.” He said huskily, brushing his nose against Seth’s. “Tell me what I need to do.” He didn’t want to cross a line Seth wasn’t comfortable with.

“It’s fine. I don’t mind helping, you know? Besides, it could be worse. All we have to do is pretend to be married when people are around. The rest of the time? We can ignore each other. Depending on where we stay, my place is big enough we probably will only bump into each other around dinner time.” Seth shrugged as he sat down. “What’s scaring you?”

Ana watched him for a moment, dark eyes vulnerable. “Seth…I hate that you have to give up your life for this.” She frowned as he sat next to her, staring at her hands. “That’s what it is, and I don’t want you to feel like you have to ignore me. I know I’m probably the last person anyone would want to marry, but I’d still like to try and be friends.” She was quiet for a long moment after his question, hands wringing a little. “I’m scared this will be for nothing. And that thought…terrifies me.”

Hey Bartender | sttormsofnight

“Sorry.” Seth blushed in embarrassment before shrugging as he took the bottle from him, sniffing it before smiling contently as he took a sup. “Been busy.” He shrugged. “Gracing you with my presence isn’t my only job. But it can sure take precedence. I do enjoy seeing your face sometimes.”

Alizair gave a faint little quirk of his lips at how pretty that blush was, but he kept the comment to himself. “Oh, ouch, Sure know how to hurt a wolf there, Seth.” Alizair gave a laugh from where he stood behind the bar. “Let it be known I do enjoy seeing you perched here.” he grinned. “What’ll ya have? I got plenty of options.” He knew Seth wasn’t a big drinker, so he made sure to keep a selection of sodas behind the bar every night he worked just to be safe.

“You better not be at all.” Seth grumbled, crossing his arms. Though his resolve quickly fell through as he wrapped his arms around Elliot, nuzzling into him. “Missed you too.” He murmured, a soft smile on his lips.

Elliot smiled and pressed a kiss to Seth’s temple. “Just a couple of beers, my love. I know how much you detest drunks.” he swore, setting the second of his beers down to brush his fingers through Seth’s hair. “Besides, until I know with a million percent certainty that we’re safe, I would never risk your safety like that.” 

All I Ever Needed | sttormsofnight

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.”

“I don’t ever want you to have to willingly die. Not for me. Because I couldn’t handle losing you either. I really wouldn’t.” He snorted,
“Careful there, Derek. That sounds insanely close to a marriage
proposal.” He teased, humming contently at the fingers combing through
his hair. “I love you..” Seth smiled, kissing him again. “And you’re right. I do feel safe right here in your arms. Where I belong.” 

Derek continued to comfort Seth through touch, knowing the change from human to wolf qould be helped by it as well as Seth’s natural reaction to it. He kissed back softly, gently wrapping his arms around Seth and kissing his temple. “Yeah? Would you say yes if it was?” He asked with a playfulness in his voice, trying to make Seth smile. Having hurt Seth hurt Derek deep in his soul, and he hated himself more than ever even as Seth told him to stay. “Then I’ll stay right here, help as best I can with your change.” He swore. “I’ll be at your side as long as you’ll have me.”
