Blood, Lust and Magic
Lust 028
Wrapping his arms around the bubbly blonde Dave grins into her hair and then whirls her around in a circle, putting her back down he starts his own interrogation of her, "So when did you get back into town?"
"Last night, I ended up merging with Finn as you two couldn't make it," she says and he winces because they'd bypassed the hospital due to hornets. "Santana was pissed at you but then found out about the hornets and flipped out worrying about you."
Santana's naturally scary, but the good thing about her was that if she liked you, then she would simply never stop in an attempt to get to you and save you, god help anyone who got in her way.
"Yeah, it was scary but the work truck stood up to the little fuckers and I'm fine, I was seriously lucky the truck was there for me to hide in until the guards could take them all out," and he's lucky, he knows he is.
"Hmm," she frowns, "But mana hornets in Lima? That's something I never thought I'd hear about," her arms tighten, "Damn Dave, you got lucky it was something that didn't hurt our little Fancy," one of her hands rests on Kurt's shoulder and the man steps in and starts a group hug.
At this angle Dave can feel Trixie's hip better and his hand brushes up against the concealed weapon there, he lifts an eyebrow at her and she shrugs, "Gotta keep you safe wonder wizard," he snorts at the name and hopes she doesn't keep it.
Trixie sits and eats with them and he gets to hear about her teaching the Special Empaths how to merge with Healers, that's a very useful trick that Kurt had discovered and taught to Trixie. With the boost of power from a Familiar a Healer would be able to even more miraculous moments of Healing for everyone to benefit from.
She even walks them to physio, Kurt clinging to one of her hands the whole time and Dave can admit he's clinging just as hard to her other hand. Stepping into Stu's office he's laughing at one of her jokes when something snarls and he spins to see Santana glaring at him.
"Dave you total lump, how dare you put yourself in danger like that," the Latino is advancing towards him as he tries to take a step back to escape her wrath, her arms end up around his neck and she's actually shivering, "Don't you ever scare me like that again, what the hell am I supposed to do if I lose you, you…" she's lost the ability to snark and send insults so he holds her tenderly and his heart nearly stops in shock when the sob is ripped from her.
"'Tana, god 'Tana, don't cry, I'm okay," he rubs her back and soothes her as muffled curses and swear words in Spanish drift up from her. He centres his own feelings and he knows she'll be seriously grumpy later but he sends her all his love too, she's family to him and she means so much to him. The wave of love that hits him back is different from Kurt's but no less powerful, he's known for a while that she really does care for him but he's never known how much she loves him too.
Empath ally is telling Master that she loves Master. Master is telling Empath ally that Master loves her too. Not rabbit tells him that Empath ally was scared for Master because of the wasps and now she can be sure that he is safe and sound.
"Dave?" Stu is standing in the doorway to the physio room and Dave's stunned when the man walks briskly over, "God Dave, we heard about the mana hornets and when they explained what they did…" the guy breaks off, "Damn it dude, stop having to prove you're special…"
"I didn't exactly do it on purpose," he tries to protest and then Stu of all people is hugging him, he'd not really thought about how this would have effected everyone else, he'd been a bit caught up in just him and Kurt last night. "I'm okay Stu. Valour and Sparkle and all the other Specials made sure of that," he nods at the guards.
Valour snorts, "Yeah, but Fury, I've only ever seen a few Wizards with the reflexes to have sprinted that quickly to the truck, you saved yourself and bought us the time to get you out of trouble."
Everyone is so happy to see Master is safe. Master is so very special to have so many friends worry about him like that, he is lucky to have Master in his life.
While he is on the table they all talk and he shares with Empath ally who shares with everyone else.
Tired after the table he hugs table man goodbye and they go home. Flame girl plays with him and they lay out on the grass with big black dog. She makes sure he is all right as they run around the garden and sometimes she chases big black dog who is faster than her.
Laughing he falls into the grass and he hugs not rabbit who is amused at them all.
Sitting on the step into the house Dave watches them in the back garden and glances at Valour who settles next to them, "Fury," the stupidly huge man rumbles, "We have new orders, all Wizards are to stay in the centre grounds at all times, so no more scanning this week."
"Damn," he frowns, "We were getting somewhere on the backlog too."
"Tough," the man gives him a sudden grin, "You'll have to work on the house instead, get some furniture in..."
"Yeah," Dave has been wanting to get something to sit down on in the house and it will be good for Kurt to learn how to sit and eat at a table and not on the floor. He lets Kurt run around some more and then gets their dinner on, he assumes that everyone is staying.
His sides hurt from the silent laughing and then Master is calling to him and the other allies, there is food here. He runs to Master and Master makes him wash his hands so they are clean for eating. He takes his goo and juice and sits in the place for eating.
Master is working in the kitchen and then the other allies are with him, they sit and eat and tell Master the food is good. Master has made them all food. Master has lots of skills if Master can make food too.
"'S'Okay," Dave shrugs a bit embarrassed at the fuss, he knows he's not brilliant at cooking but he hasn't poisoned anyone yet either, unlike Santana and the infamous turkey incident.
Also the great thing about cooking is that other people then feel obliged to wash up, which leaves him with Kurt who comes for a hug, "Hey Kurt, guess what we're doing tomorrow."
Master is asking him what they have to do tomorrow, he knows that they are going out again so that Master can check the homes and houses for things that shouldn't be there and he shows Master that.
"Nope," Master says and he is uncertain now, they have already been to the fun Empaths and he asks Master what they will be doing. "Tomorrow we are going to make plans for the house. What colour for all the walls, and what furniture we want. We can't keep sitting on the floor."
He thinks the rainbow of colours at Master who nods, "Yep we have to pick a colour for each of the walls, and then maybe curtains and shit like that," he used to really like doing that and he is excited that he can play that way again.
Master gives him a kiss on his forehead, "Good, I'm glad you're looking forward to it, I need the help 'coz I hate deciding things like that. We'll pull up the options on screen and we can narrow it down to the basics to start with and build up from there."
And Master really means for him to have a choice in the colours and the things to sit on. He is really happy. Today bright Familiar came to see them and eat with them and now he gets to play with Master all day tomorrow.
"Awesome," Dave says and hugs the man close, this was going to work out for them. Maybe the hornets were a blessing in disguise, they'll give him time with Kurt and from memory the body parts from the hornets were worth a fortune, he's unintentionally made a lot of money for the centre.
It's getting late and Dave offers for them all to stay over, Valour and Sparkle decline and leave with Santana but Trixie's happy not to have to face her mess of an apartment just yet.
When he hears about it Kurt practically bounces in place and for a second Dave could swear the man's face twitched with the beginnings of a smile.
A/N: Sorry for any and all mistakes, I've tried to catch those I could, but I'm only human.
