Jack woke up and found himself hugging a pillow to his chest, alone in a large bed and in a bedroom that wasn't the one he was used to. It took the young man a bit to remember what had happened in the previous night. After letting out an embarrassed chuckle, Jack curled back up under the very warm blanket, deciding to sleep more.

"Spicer, I know you're awake." Chase stated as he entered the room. Jack made a point not to move as he tried to drift back off. "Get up." The warlord walked over to the bed and nudged Jack.

"No." Jack groaned and curled up even tighter.

"I will drag you out of this bed." Chase warned. Jack only groaned more and hid his face. "Spicer." Chase grabbed the blanket and threw it off of the bed.

"Five more minutes." Jack whined and covered his head with the pillow he was hugging. "Chase!" He yelped when Chase lifted him off of the bed. "It's Saturday! We sleep in on Saturdays!" The young man yelled as he struggled in Chase's grip.

"You may, but I do not." Chase sat Jack on the ground and groaned when he immediately plopped back down on the bed. "I do not have time for this." The warlord bent over to lift Jack again but stopped when Jack wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Please? Let's just go back to bed. Let's sleep all day." Jack said with a small smile and a hint of mischief in his eyes. When Chase didn't respond, Jack put his legs around the older man's waist. "Please?"

"As tempting as you make this sound, Spicer, I am already up, wearing my armor and have plans for the day." Chase straightened himself up and sighed when Jack was still clinging to him. "You need to get ready, I have a new lesson for you."

"But we never got done with my playing lessons." Jack protested.

"We'll take turns." Jack held out a grunt and made his body go limp, forcing Chase to catch him. "Would you quit behaving like a child?"

"Trust me, I could act a lot worse." Jack said, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't." Chase sighed and carried Jack out of the room.

"Why can't we have a lazy day?" Jack asked.

"Because if I allow a lazy day, then you'll be behind on your training and you'll have to work twice as hard the next day and you and I both know that you are not capable of accomplishing that." Chase stated.

"That's no fun." Jack pouted.

"Life isn't all about fun and games." Chase gently placed Jack down in front of his room.

"It's also not about constantly working and having no fun." Jack added.

"You do have a point there, but not for today." Chase kissed the top of Jack's head, making the younger man stiffen and face turn a light shade of pink.

"Stop doing that." Jack muttered and rubbed his hands through his hair. "Evil genius' don't do head kisses."

"Well, it's a good thing that I'm taller than you." Chase chuckled and kissed Jack's cheek. "Better?"

"A little." Jack shrugged.

"Allow me to make it even better for you." Chase was about to kiss Jack on the lips when Wuya flew in and spoke.

"Should I come back at a different time?" Wuya held her arms up.

"What is it?" Chase asked with gritted teeth, moving away from Jack.

"I'd thought that I'd be nice for once and tell you that two of your warriors just went out. I don't know them or your system that well, but I do know that you make them go out in groups of three or larger." Wuya said, noticing Jack's attire. "No footie-pajamas?"

"He made me change." Jack pointed at Chase.

"Which warriors were they?" Chase asked, holding a hand out in front of Jack to prevent that conversation from continuing.

"I don't know their names, but one was a panther and the other was a cheetah." Wuya answered.

"Was the panther a female and the cheetah a male?"

"I believe."

"It was Nani and Liam!" Jack squealed. "They're going out on a little date!"

"A date? Your warriors are going out on a date?" Wuya floated up so she was looking Chase in the face. "I didn't know your warriors had any emotions."

"They're still living beings, they just obey my orders." Chase stated.

"Does that mean they can get pregnant?" Jack asked.

"Spicer!"

"I wanna know if I'm going to be an uncle."

"Go change!"

"Fine!" Jack threw his hands up in the air and went into his room, slamming the door behind him.

"It's been a month and you two sound like an old married couple already." Wuya chuckled.

"Hush." Chase waved a hand at Wuya and started walking away, the witch flew by his head. "Was there anything else you wished to tell me before Spicer and I start his lesson?"

"Not anything to tell, but something to ask." Wuya said.

"What is it?"

"Why are you teaching Jack to fight? Jack, out of all people. He's a silly boy who can barely tie his own shoes half the time."

"I must be stubborn or something of that sort. I refuse to have my mate be completely useless in a fight. His inventions can only take him so far." Chase paused for a moment to pat Niso's head, the panther obviously bored as he waited for his friends to return.

"So, you're only doing this so Jack doesn't get hurt?"

"I guess you could say that."

"That's sickly sweet."

"Don't remind me." Chase sighed and continued walking, Wuya flying over to the other side of his head and Niso following the two.

"Jack filled me in a little bit about what happened last night before you took him to your room, I hope you know-"

"Nothing happened, nothing will most likely happen for a very long time." Chase interrupted, knowing where the witch was heading with her comment.

"I might not be Jack's biggest fans or vice-versa, but I'm not in the mood to listen to that boy cry because of you hurting him in a not physical way."

"So you're fine with me punching him in the face?"

"Depends on the reason, I'll admit to having a slight soft spot for him, but it's not much." Wuya couldn't prevent a smirk from appearing on her masked face. "Not as much as yours is at the moment."

"If you're attempting to insult or mock me for caring for Spicer, you're not going to get any form of embarrassment from me." Chase stopped after going down the last step.

"I'm not trying to mock you, I'm just trying to find something to prevent myself from going insane as I watch my hopes and dreams fly away as the Chase Young attempts to bed a child." Wuya scoffed.

"Didn't know you had hopes and dreams, I'm not bedding him nor is he a child." Chase stated.

"That was harsh."

"It's also harsh having to see you every day." Chase glanced at Wuya and then looked away. "Very tiring on the eyes."

"That was just plain mean."

"I am evil."

"There's a difference between being evil and just being a jerk." Wuya huffed and flew off, leaving Chase alone.

"Were my comments too harsh?" Chase asked Niso, who had sat down next to him. Niso only meowed and shrugged. "You're right. I'm fine."
