They're were a few things Dissain had come to not like doing certain tasks given to him by Jewel during his stay with her. He was still adjusting to living with candidates for Queen of Magical World. From time to time he stuck, as their teacher when Jewel's time was occupied with men or drinking (always was both). He was glad during some moments Ava was there to act as a guide to help the lessons along. Through it all he had Bethel as his company and on his side when thing got tough.
Like now; since the person they picked up during one of Jewel's failed field trips was someone he wasn't ready to face YET. Who went by the name of Ferice making him one of eldest sons to Captain of the Royal Guard in Magical World. Was once Dissain's sexual partner in maturing relationship both perused with a passion. Ended in rudest of scandals to point Dissain came to live with Jewel to finish his magical study. Leaving the vicious rumors and snickered remarks about him behind.
"At least we're reunited once more." Dissain sighed at looked upon Ferice's bandaged face.
He had been watching over Ferice after the guy was treated upon their return to the human world one-day ago. Taking over his sister and Lolli's shift since the girl's familiars reminded them about a hart gather opportunity. That they would ended up leaving to attend while figuring out how to build up their wands.
"He doing all right?" Ava walked down from the second floor.
"Better then Mistress Jewel's behavior..." Dissain tried to sound happy.
Ava couldn't help but groan about the trouble she went through to get a tipsy Jewel to her room after their return. That woman wasn't going to lay down for anyone since she wanted to party more. Jewel got her wish when her current fling showed up willing to distract intoxicated woman. Acted as a distraction for Ava, so she could at the time check in girls who had been caring for Ferice.
This had given the girls and Dissain the chance to use mending charms and healing spells on Ferice's hurt body. His clothes were altered magical to something he wouldn't wear by drunken Jewel. Leaving his appearance to be cleaned up by Ava when everyone had been done to make him better.
"Will here," She set a basket down. "Just a few items I put together for out guest's sore body."
"How much?" Dissain asked about the cost.
"Over 3000 ecure since it's a gift basket of rare sprays, creams, and other items that can make up a magical first aid kit." She gave him the total, "Don't worry about price."
She ended not charging Dissain for the items she specially made to be used on whatever wounds on Ferice. Weren't mended magically by the girls who only used the basic of basic of recovery magic. All in hand woven basket that Ava had crafted her self from reeds she gathered her self.
"Going to want some company?" She offered.
"Got that covered." Bethel squealed.
"How about something to eat or drink at least." Ava knew Dissain hadn't eaten since last night.
All he could do was wave one of his hands from side to side not up to using words to describe what he wanted. Bethel just jumped from his shoulder squealing about him needing to cheer up some. Was something Ava would have agreed with if she didn't leave for the kitchen to cook something. Leaving Dissain to wallow in bundle of memories he tried of force him self to forget. All had do to with the person lying on the sofa comfortably an under comforter slumbering away.
"Why were you in those woods?" Dissain whispered toward Ferice.
He knew from his information they gathered when they were together for those few years as a couple. That Ferice was known for going on these wild adventures within the Magical World alone. All those times Ferice would come back with kind of trophy that would end up on the shelf of his room.
"This time around...you lay on the sofa of my caretaker after being found by your ex in forest no powerful wizard can enter." Dissain spoke softly.
He wasn't going to wonder how his own Ex had come to get hurt so badly that someone ended up finding his battered body. Since he was trying to figure out how to explain a certain problem that had come up because of Ferice. The guy couldn't stop calling Dissain by his Old Nick name for him during last few hours. This left Toffy to place her form of torturous guessing game on why her brother had that name. Lolli, three familiars, and drunken Jewel playing the game then didn't help the situation. Led to Dissain revealing the past relationship he once shared with Ferice. Wouldn't be further discussed further then thanks to timing and Ava uncomfortable aura.
"He even alive?" Bethel noticed Ferice hadn't moved.
"Yeah he was always known to look like a dead corpse when he slumbers." Dissain recalled.
Bethel ended up slamming him mouth shut forgetting a certain rule Jewel drilled into him about bringing up Ferice. Instead of his master breaking out into tears like he had been when Ferice was drought up. Dissain ended up sighing painfully with dry eye just staring form of man he once loved. Deciding he needed to get over this obstacle so he could some day return to the Magical World.
"Miss. Ava," Dissain called to her, "Need some help?"
Bethel ended up taking over for his master who finally got his appetite back when he stomach started growling. Telling this mouse that his master must be getting over what ever had been keeping him back. He took Dissain's spot on the coffee table to stare at Ferice's body with his beady eyes. Twitching his pink nose every now and then before twitch of Ferice's fingers made him jump. That twitching finger turned into a limb that turned into heavily breathing chest. Before sapphire red eyes with blurred vision opened up to a dizzying sight of Jewel's living room. Calling out a single name he swore he saw out in forest of the Magical World very loudly.
"You sum up what you just told me." Toffy sounded like she heard something juicy news, "You and MY brother were doing the dirty pretzel while he was..."
She was cut off when Dissain ended up dropping a tea filled with tea set upon the coffee table harshly. Reminding her to stop annoying Ferice about something that was already shared with everyone. Got him the dead eye from her since she wasn't ready to stop digging his past about his love life. Before she was also told by Ferice that he wasn't going on until Dissain was ready. This would have gotten a face full of bats summoned fourth by Toffy if she did take off running.
"Hey Lolli!" Toffy called for her, "Your not going to believe what I got to say."
Out of the living room Toffy ran in one of her rare good mood to the point she needed to gossip. Leaving her brother once more to watch over a now conscious guest still unable to move his sore body. Didn't stop Ferice from insisting that only Dissain be the one to care for him since he become conscious.
"Seems she still hasn't lost her...spunk." Ferice tried to laugh.
He was soon reminded that his ribcage was still covered in a good amount of bruises that kept him from fully laughing. All he could do was groan in pain while herbal blend was poured for him. Before being set off the trey all done by a quiet Dissain taking a seat on edge of the coffee table.
"We were able to get word to Castle about your health and approval to stay here until your healthy enough to move." Dissain couldn't face him, "You'll be relocated to upper flo..."
He was unable to finish his sentence about where Ferice would be staying until his body fully healed. Since said person for went sipping heat cup of tea to reach out and grasp the hem line of Dissain's sweater. When he got a tight enough grip he tugged as hard as his sore muscles would allow him. Pulling the person to sit upon his comforter covered lap as he forcedly sat up to face look into their eyes.
"I want you back and will not take a NO for an answer!" Ferice hoarsely spoke.
"You shouldn't be straining you vocal cords." Dissain ended up straddling Ferice's lap.
"Di...please..." Ferice started to wheezed.
Dissain had to stop Ferice from further straining a body that needed to rest and recover before moving like THIS. Not like the position he was in wasn't the first time he sat like this while in Ferice's lap. Since the many times they been together in that sexual way this was their popular position, but their favorite. This time around both were clothed and one of them didn't have other up his rear.
"We'll see when you get better..." Dissain wasn't saying no, "Now to get back on topic."
He wanted to go on to tell Ferice that he would be staying on the same floor where the girls been living. For his own good since he was on way able to stay in the basement with Dissain like he wanted. Not like the news bothered the person it was intended for since he got was wanted before that. Before Dissain could pry him self form a vice-like grip upon his waist so he could get up.
"Double Bubble!" Toffy's voice came from the stair well showing off her purchase wand accessory to Lolli. It meant it trying in on her brother like Viktor suggested after the scene his good eye looked upon. Drenching both teen-age boys in a flurry of bubbles that repeated bombarded the both. Making Dissain smell like a rose bush as Ferice was took on the smell of a bouquet of lilies.
"We weren't doing what you think." Ferice loudly spoke.
Ended with him coughing rather harshly that got Dissain to remind him not to strain his voice like this. Before getting back at Toffy and Viktor by using a one of his own cold spells that sent her running. Back up the steps instead of spying on them like she had been doing after chatting with Lolli.
"Hope she likes hailstorms." Was all Dissain had to say.
Ferice ended up silencing Dissain by bringing their own lips together by leaning forward more toward him. This kiss was simple one where tongue wasn't exchanged between the both of them. Before Ferice pulled away and released his hold on Dissain requesting he hand over the teacup. This took place for the both of them in quiet matter as Dissain returned to his seat on the coffee table.
"I am so going to have to break this to Lolli." Dissain knew she would be disappointed.
"Forgot our dear princess ahs always had a crush on the son of Magical World's savoir." Ferice started to sip his tea.
"They're goes my chance of taking the throne." Dissain joked.
Ferice was the one that had to put some thought behind what Dissain said before finally figuring out. His grandmother Cinnamon chooses to hand the throne of Magical World over to Lolli's grandmother Candy. Then his mother gave up the throne to save the Magical World so Lolli's mother could take it. It seemed Dissain was willing to get back with him and give up on a chance for the throne.
"Why does it seem cruel in a way?" Ferice asked aloud.
"It called love." Dissain answered, "So live with it."
On to his feet Dissain went telling Ferice when he was up to walking he'll show him to his room later on. This put a smile on to Ferice's lips before he place his empty teacup down and yawned. Back under the comforter Ferice went so he could settle back into a peaceful sleep. Leaving the person who agreed to re-kindle a relationship with to have a private chat with someone whom crushed on him
"Toffy I know your there." Dissain made his way to the stairs.
When he stepped onto the first step he could see a pouting Toffy standing on the stop step staring down at him. Viktor rested on one of her shoulders hissing angrily about the cold spell spent after them. Both stared at him like he was diseased and needed to be killed off before he touched them.
"Seems you choice the Bubble Gem?" Dissain meant her wand.
"Gives me a three-spell choice and shine to skin and hair." She stood there.
"You do know its in shape of a lumpy cloud." He thought it looked weird.
"It a new wand accessory that takes on the shape of who ever purchases it." She coldly answered.
"Meaning?" He knew he wasn't getting anywhere.
She decided to warn him to not shattered their friend's heart with the news he was about to say. Revealing that Lolli wasn't emotionally thrilled about she story that Dissain had shared another something with someone. That someone was a guy who worked with Palace's Guard within the Magical world. Left poor Lolli to deal with something that seemed to be aching her own heart. Didn't interfere with her heart gathering since she got a quite a few when out with Toffy.
"You know I'm heading her way to set things straight." Dissain meant it.
