Kevin is woken up many times during the day by a very active and violent little sleeper. By morning he was pretty sure he had a black eye or a bloody nose! By the time Kevin decided to get up though, Daniel had curled on top of him and was finally getting some restful sleep. He carefully picked him up and carried him to the living room.
Eddward is sprawled out spread eagle and Marie is curled up in a ball on the couch. Eddward groans in his sleep. He is having that dream again; the one where it's not Pumpkin he killed but Kevin. He gasps and sits up in a cold sweat before noticing Kevin and the small wolf. "How did he sleep?" Eddward whispers.
"Fitfully... Kicked my ass most of the night but he is sleeping pretty soundly right now." Kevin whispered. "You okay? Another nightmare?"
Eddward nods and sighs "Yes, they are different as of late" he sighs.
"Like how?"
Eddward looks away "Pumpkin is no longer in them."
Kevin nods in understanding and sighs, pulling Edd into a tight hug. "I'm not going anywhere. I got too much going for me right now."
Eddward chuckles softly and kisses his cheek "You know, what cheers me up without fail, besides killing some and having a romp in the pale moonlight with you?" he asks standing up.
"What?" Kevin asks, shifting the young one lay better on his shoulder, rocking slightly.
"You might want to cover his ears" Eddward says walking back behind the couch with Marie still sleeping soundly.
Kevin covers young ears, with one hand and locks eyes with Edd.
Eddward smirks mischievously and bends down he hooks his hands under the couch and flips it causing Marie to wake up. Squealing in shock and surprise, she flings a knife at him and he dodges it, causing it to land in the wall where his head was previously.
"You are still slow on your reflexes" Eddward cackles while Marie flips him off.
"Damn it, every fucking time with you! You think after so many years you would get tired of that" Marie complains.
Eddward is on the ground laughing "Oh Marie, it will never get old, I am afraid!"
Kevin laughs hysterically, which added with all the extra noise and movement, woke up Daniel. All the noise scared him to death and he clung to Kevin, shaking. "It's okay, Daniel. You're here with us now. Look, Eddward flipped Marie over the couch!" Kevin's smooth baritone voice calmed him and he giggled.
Eddward is still laughing on the ground, unable to say a thing and Marie steps forward. "That's not very nice of them, is it sweetheart?" She asks to the little wolf.
"No, but it was funny..." Daniel laughed with his head still on Kevin's shoulder. "Still tired, Brother." Kevin held onto him tightly "S'ok, go back to sleep."
Eddward stands up, his laughter dying down and walks over. "We need to change his clothes, Mon Cher. He can sleep on the way to the safe house but we need to get going. Marie, tell me you got him a back pack for his clothes…"
"I'm not a complete idiot… Of course I did!" she says pointing to a black backpack next to hers.
Kevin carries the younger wolf into the bedroom after grabbing the pack. He pulled some clothes out and had Daniel change, telling the young boy that they had to get ready for the night and the travel to the new safe house.
Eddward walks in shortly after that with a pack of his own "Are you two ready? Who is he traveling with?" he asks.
Daniel was already sleeping again on the bed when Eddward showed up again. "Doesn't matter. We can put him on my back. Just have to have you carry my pack."
"I have been on your back, he is too fragile for that right now..." Eddward muses "Why don't you let Marie or I carry him? It will be gentler and we will be able to go full speed without worrying he will fall off" he suggests staring at the boy.
"Have Marie carry him, then we can hunt." Kevin gently picked Daniel up and walked to the living room.
Eddward nods and follows him "Marie would you carry D-"
Marie shoots into the hall "Gimme gimme gimme!" she says excitedly, reaching for the small boy.
"Don't think even that would wake him up" Kevin laughs "Gentle, Marie." he says handing Daniel over
"Yea, yea… I know, I know" Marie sasses taking the child with surprising gentleness making Eddward smile.
"Marie, we are going to safe house number 9" he instructs. She just nods gazing fondly at the little cub as she walks out the door "Well, shall we then, Mon Cher?"
"My god, I'm so hungry I could eat a moose!" Kevin grumbled.
Eddward snickers "There are some in these woods" he says walking out the door.
"I hope I find a herd, I'll eat half of them!" by the time Kevin had exited the house he was already transformed and more than ready to eat.
Eddward chuckles "You are over exaggerating, Mon Cher" he says taking off towards the safe house.
"Find me a herd of moose and see what happens"
"I do hope your atrocious table manner don't rub off on the boy" Eddward snickers.
"I'm sure you'll be able to save him from my horrid table etiquette" Kevin laughs, walking along side Eddward.
"One can only hope" Eddward says before taking off.
Kevin follows and move silently thought trees, hoping to catch a big kill otherwise they would have to waste more time getting a second kill when he could be spending time with his brother. He spies a buck and makes a bee line for it, not caring that it can hear him, he wanted to chase something down and kill it. And he did... And he ate his fill.
Eddward, having found a stray camper gathering fire wood, dispatched him quickly. He shoots off and snatches some rabbits then waits for Kevin to get done eating. Once he is done. Eddward stands "Ready?"
"*burp* Yes..." Kevin eyes the rabbits "Those for Daniel?"
Eddward looks at them then Kevin "Yes..."
"Let's go... I want to get back and see if he is awake." Kevin looked at Eddward with a glare. "You ok?"
"Yes, why do you ask?" Eddward asks avoiding eye contact with the wolf. Knowing full well he was asking because he has been acting distant with him.
Kevin transforms and approaches the vampire with a grin. He felt the Full Moon coming and he was getting more and more horny. He didn't bother grabbing a shirt when they left so he was left in just his jeans that rode low on his hips. He grabbed Edd's hips and pushed him against a tree and attacked his neck.
Eddward moans and grits his teeth against what he body and his mind wanted. He pushes the wolf away "Kevin, we should be going. Daniel needs to feed and so does Marie." he says making an excuse.
Kevin's fangs broke the skin and he bit down, feeling that sweet blood fill his mouth. His hands ran down the vampire's sides and grabbed Edd's ass, grinding their hips together. "Come on, the Full Moon is coming and I'm getting hornier by the day." Kevin cooed, licking the wound he made.
Eddward groans and detaches himself from the wolf and begins walking off. "That would be inconsiderate to Marie and Daniel is so malnourished already, he needs to eat consistently in order for him to become healthy" Eddward says, walking off in the direction of the safe house.
"I guess so..." Kevin sighed and followed, pulling shoes out of his pack and throwing them on his feet.
Eddward sighs in relief that his little lie worked and continues on his way an hour later they arrive at the safe house and Eddward walks in only to hear giggling and Marie's soft voice.
"Little Wolf, where could you be?" she giggles.
Eddward looks at her in amusement "What are you doing?"
She stands up quickly "Uh-uh, see what happened was..." She sighs in defeat and blushes "I'm playing hide and seek..." a soft giggle sounded lightly throughout the living room.
Eddward chuckles "Marie, go feed" he instructs.
She nods "I'll be back later Danny!" Marie calls out before leaving the house.
"Mon Petit Loup, it is time to feed! You need to come out!" Eddward calls out.
When no little wolf appeared, Kevin tried. "You know I can sniff you out very quickly... Come and eat!" They heard a soft "awwww" and soon a small little wolf limped his way from behind the sofa. Kevin smiled sweetly "Come on, kid. We'll play a bit when you're done eating."
"I brought you some rabbits, Little One" Eddward says holding them out for him.
"...Never had rabbit before..." Soon old habits come back and he is suddenly very nervous and shy, hiding behind Kevin with his tail and ears down.
"Ah, they are very good! Would you like to try them? I killed them just for you." Eddward says gently.
"It's okay, Danny... Edd's not gonna hurt you, remember?" The little red head seemed to get braver and moved to sniff and take the rabbit in his mouth.
Eddward sets the other two down by the young pup "I'm going to go take a shower."
Kevin watched Eddward leave and shut the door to the bathroom. He looked to Danny, who seemed to be happily enjoying the rabbits, and told him that he would be right back. Kevin entered the bathroom quietly just as Eddward was getting ready to take off his shirt. He came up behind him and wrapped both arms around his waist. "Let me help you with these clothes..." he smiled and kissed Edd's neck.
Eddward freezes and whips around trying to stay calm "Kevin no" he says sternly.
"Why? Can't I shower you with some affection?" Kevin asked, leaning in for a kiss.
Eddward backs up "What about Daniel? Someone needs to be with him. Who knows how often Nathan left him alone? He needs your attention right now, not me" he says avoiding eye contact.
Kevin's face fell as he let go and backed up, releasing Eddward. "Fine..." he turned and slammed the door. Walking to the living room, seeing Daniel finishing off the second rabbit, looked up and let out a happy squeak. "Kevin! Can we go outside now? Please?!"
"Absolutely, I need to get out of this house anyway." Kevin muttered. He transformed and they walked out into the woods, the ever careful big brother watching over the little brother, making sure no harm came to him.
Eddward sighs and runs his hands through his hair and gets in the shower once he heard the wolf leave.
Kevin and Daniel moved through the trees and Kevin was teaching him a few things about tracking and hunting. "Will I be a fighter like you and Eddward?" Daniel asked, laying on Kevin's back while he walks, having grown tired after play.
"With any luck you will at least be able to defend yourself and run. You're a Healer, Daniel. You must harness those abilities before anything else." The smaller redhead sighed and thumped his tail agitatedly against Kevin's side. He laughs. "Don't worry, everything will be fine" at least he hopes so.
Eddward is out of the shower, fully dressed and sitting on the couch with his head in his hands when Marie comes in and spots him. "What's wrong, Eddward?"
Eddward sighs and looks up "I've upset Kevin. He keeps making advances towards me and I keep shutting him down because of the claim" he says miserably.
Marie nods and sits next to him "You need to tell him… The full moon is in a few days." She says firmly but Eddward sighs.
"I just don't want him to run." he says sadly, putting his head back in his head. She puts her hand on his back and begins rubbing soothing circles/
Kevin and Daniel came back in their human forms after the Sun had started to rise. Daniel had fallen asleep while they were star gazing and talking. In all honesty, it felt so good to have his little body curled up next to him that Kevin stayed there for the better part of two hours before heading back. Walking back into the house, Daniel in his grasp with his face buried in his shoulder.
Eddward looks up and notices the dead rabbit. "You should put him to bed, Mon Cher" he says walking forward and throwing the dead rabbit outside.
Kevin put Daniel in the room with his pack in it and laid down in bed with him. He curled into Kevin's embrace and sighed happily. Kevin's heart was breaking... The first person he lets in... Fuck, man. He doesn't know what he did, he wished he knew so he could fix it but now he was too irritated.
Eddward sighs "Mon Cher, are you going to sleep in here tonight?" he asks quietly, once he noticed the wolf was in bed with his brother.
"Sounds good to me. You are the one that said we don't know how often he was alone" Kevin sniffed sadly.
Eddward sighs sadly "Very well. I will be in the other room if you need me."
Once the door was shut, Kevin rolled on his back and stared at the ceiling. A few tears slid down his face; he didn't know what to do! It felt good to sass to Eddward but he knew it wasn't going to help them. 'If you need me'... Doesn't Edd know I always DO need him?'
Eddward flops down on the other bed, sighing quietly, refusing to let himself cry because it's his own damn fault the red head is upset with him. Marie comes in knocking quietly.
"Eddward?" She asks quietly. When he doesn't respond, she comes in closing the door and lays down next to him, pulling his head onto her chest. "Listen here you over grown care bear, tomorrow night you are going to tell that mongrel everything: the claim, why you've been avoiding contact with him, everything. But tonight, I'm going to sleep in here so you don't have nightmares, got it?" she asks petting his hair. He just nods miserably since she didn't give him a choice and falls asleep. Shortly after his breathing leveled out she drifts off too.
Kevin tosses and turns for a few hours before getting sick of it. He needed to talk to Eddward and they needed to sort this shit out and they needed to do it now. He slowly detangled himself from Daniel, making sure that he was tucked in before slowly opening the bedroom door. He didn't shut the door all the way, he wanted to be able to hear in case Daniel needed him. He pushed the door open and opened his mouth to say Eddward's name when movement caught his eye. He expected to see the face of the man that he wanted to kiss and punch at the same time. Instead he was met with Marie's face with Eddward's head resting on her chest and his arms around her waist. That's how they slept... every night! Kevin was taken aback... he didn't know what he should do but he knew what he needed to do. Looking down, he spied his pack and quietly grabbed it before backing out of the room. Entering Daniel's room again, he grabbed his pack and gently picked up the little red head before heading to the window. He knew that Eddward would be able to hear the door open and close, he always does.
"What's going on, Big Brother?" Daniel asks tiredly as he was put on the ground outside.
"We're going on a trip. Be quiet so you don't wake anyone." Kevin whispers and leaped out the window. They put on their hoodies and pulled their hoods up. Kevin picked Daniel up and took off. They had to get a good distance from the house and everything that has happened to him on the last few weeks. This was not worth it... Never again would he open his heart to anyone! Especially a certain raven-haired vampire!
