DISCLAIMER: As per usual, nothing belongs to me blah blah blah... I think you get the point.
"Is it a crime to visit my dear old friend?" The intruder scowled, feigning offence as they rounded the bed to sit cross-legged beside the ruffled Dark-Hunter. "I'm impressed." The being purred, scooting close enough to whisper in his ear. "It's a nice little place you've got here." The dark-hunter shuddered and cleared his throat. Peeling off his blankets, he got up and pulled a light blue button-up shirt out of his drawer.
"We've talked about this," he stated firmly, pulling the shirt over his head without bothering to unbutton it first. "I will not betray anyone else."
"Then all those you care for will know the truth of you." The being whispered with promise, then with an indignant smirk; evaporated into nothing.
All those you care about will know the truth of you. The truth.
"Welcome to Sanctuary, my name is Alex and I will be your server tonight. May I take your order?" Alex smiled absentmindedly, looking over to the bar where Colt and Sasha were on shift.
"Yes, I'll have... your attention, with a side of eye contact please." She jolted and turned; her face red. She let out a nervous little laugh.
"Knox! It's um... I was just..." she let her gaze wander back to the perspiration dusted were-bear.
"Checking out just how shiny the counters at Sanctuary are?" He chuckled, "because, uh that's what I hope you're doing." Alex gave him a look before sliding into the booth next to him.
"So, do tell; what is going on in the Dark-Hunter world today?" she asked locking her hands together and resting her chin in the arch, giving him her best 'reporter' look. Knox laughed whole-heartedly, and he leaned across the table.
"If I told you, I'd have to kill you." He whispered jokingly. Alex gave him a playful shove. Their laughter was cut short as the more temperamental of the quads approached them with a rare grin that he only seemed to wear around the Dark-hunter and his half-sister.
" Hey kitten!" the bear gave a mock- glare " aren't you supposed to be working?" he chastised, then pretty much cancelled it out when he broke into a full blown smile, and chuckled lightly. He didn't know what it was about those two; but they were infectious. As he chucked the tea-towel he had in his hand at Alex, he and the Dark-Hunter made eye-contact. It was one of the weirdest experiences of his life; the stare was so intense; he almost missed the tiger-swan's comment on his and Knox's pent-up sexual frustration and their obvious attraction to one another.
"Seriously Remi; I'm choking on pheromones over here." He rolled his eyes and shook his head as Alex made choking noises and clutched her throat. Knox snorted.
"Yeah Kitten; and it's a picnic over here watching you eye-fuck the bar staff." Her brother retorted. Remi sputtered.
"Excuse me?" They both laughed at Remi's expression. Alex instantly went pale when near hysterical laughter came from the direction of the bar. She slowly turned, and saw both Colt and Sasha in the middle of equally harsh fits of laughter. Knox covered his mouth to keep from laughing out loud, which was pointless, because when his sister turned back around; his face was fire truck red and he was damn near vibrating in his seat.
"You're an ass!" she scoffed and smacked him lightly on the arm. She tried to send him a death glare; but ended up looking more like a kitten that someone had just sprayed with a garden hose. He held his hands up in mock-surrender still shaking from laughter.
"Don't hurt yourself now, kitten." He teased. She pouted and looked over at Remi, to find him trying to compose himself.
"Traitor!" she accused her face creasing even farther, that was all Remi could take before he keeled over laughing too.
"Oh come on, Lexy, I'm sorry." Knox said with a pouty face of his own, and grabbed her arm gently before she could walk off. She turned just enough to stick her tongue out at him before walking away.
"You two lovebirds have fun!" she shouted back before she disappeared, "and remember boys! Cover your stump before you hump!"
Remi looked after her in disbelief and Knox just shook his head.
