"That stupid little brat." Richard growled slamming his fists in a wall in Jean's room. "He's confusing the hell out of me! I don't like guys! "
"You clearly like him." Anita yawned, all the vampires were tucked in their coffins and Sin was tucked away between Jason and Nathanial conducting an experiment . They'd already reported that he hadn't lost his body heat any. A bunch of people were gathered in Jean's room it was almost eight in the morning and they were shocked to see Jean come in. "Get over it, Richard, I heard the reports on how you made him feel when you rejected him like that! He's attracted to you and you him!"
"I don't like guys like that!" Richard protested, "I tried to stay away from him! I thought it would go away! You know if I wasn't around him! But when I heard he was throwing a fit I just dropped everything and came running! What the hell is he doing to me?!"
"Ma Loup." Jean laughed, "You are in Love."
"NO!" Richard protested hitting the wall again. "This cant be true!"
"You protest too loudly as always." Jean told him with a chuckle. "I suggest you give him a chance ."
"A chance..." Richard slid down the wall with his head in his lap. "How do I do that? I upset him didn't I?"
That earned him a chuckle. Richard looked up glaring at Jean. He wondered when the room had filled up so much.
"If I may make suggestion?" Elinore asked earning herself a glare. "Regardless, I'm going to give it." Richard sighed, "Take him aside and explain to him that you've never been with a guy before and know that he has but do to how he was treated you want to date and take things slow so he knows that he means more to you than just a way of release. That you wont be having sex until you feel you are both ready. That you are actually going to date. "
"Do you honestly think he'll understand that?" Richard sighed slamming his head back against the wall. "I mean he seems so young and fragile and I just want to protect him..."
Richard swore he'd find away to kill Jean without dying himself when the man once again chuckled at him.
The Ulfric was in trouble! Sin burst into the living room to see Richard fighting with a werelion named Haven. The fight was over but Haven was trying to fight on.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Sin's power sent the lion flying through the wall. Sin was then at Richard's side licking his wounds . He looked up when the doctor Lillian touched his shoulder. He moved away and let her set about helping Richard. "Will Ulfric be okay?"
"Yes, dear." Lillian smiled at him. "Richard will be fine. Why don't you help me get him to the hospital though."
"Okay!" Sin helped to support Richard to the hospital area, he took great joy in being so close to Richard. But started feeling guilty again because he was getting aroused. He helped lay Richard down on a bed then backed off into a corner in a crouch. He watched Lillian's every move.
"I'd like to talk to Sin." Richard told Lillian. "Can you leave us please?"
"Of course." Lillian smirked at him and left.
"Sin, come here." Sin bounded over to Richard's side but didn't get on the bed like he wanted to. "I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier..." He moved over and watched Sin's face light up as he crawled on to the bed and began licking a wound on his arm. "Sin, please listen to me." Sin looked at him and Richard's heart clenched. "I...I've never ...been with a guy before..." Sin blinked hope filling his eyes. "and I was always taught that it was a terrible thing ...to like another man... I know about what happened to you...Lets take this slow okay?...You and I together...lets date for awhile...we wont have sex until I feel we are both ready okay...? "
"Really?" Sin asked in a cautious voice. Richard nodded. Sin smiled shyly at him. "Thank you." Sin licked Richard's cheek. " So it's not bad I feel this way around you?"
"No, Sin it's not bad."
"Good."
Sin went back to licking Richard's wound for awhile then curled up at his side and slept for a little while longer. It was later discovered that he'd smashed up Jason's room and knocked them both out so that he could get to Richard so the two were also sitting in the hospital.
Sin was dressed elegantly as he sat with Richard watching the Ballet. When they were being rolled he called his power connected, through Richard to Anita, and together they were able to free their people as Anita called them. Sin smiled shyly at Richard. He'd just suddenly grabbed the man's hand. They were sitting in a shadowed area so no one had seen but Sin didn't want to let go. Richard rubbed his thumb over Sin's knuckles making Sin give him another shy smile and a blush.
Richard cursed to himself did Sin even know what he was doing to him? The damn boy just looked so damn cute! He allowed Sin to move his chair closer to him and got a sad look when he took his hand away then a smile when he put his arm around him. Sin watched the rest of the show happily then they were in Richard's car.
"Are we going to the club?" Sin asked, "I heard Nathanial talking about the party at the Club."
"If you want to." Richard said, "I guess i should. I'm part of the Triumptive and weaken them by not being there. " Richard called ahead using his cell phone to let them know they were coming. He then glanced at the teen in the seat next to him. "Did you enjoy your night out?"
"I've never been around so many people like that before." Sin replied, "and I've never been to an event like that. It was...interesting . " Sin smiled shyly. " I had fun because I was with you."
Richard sighed to himself. Sin was destroying his self control he wanted nothing more than to kiss him. Hell, he wanted nothing more than to take him right here in the car. His mind drifted back to Asher and the grilling he'd gotten after attacking Sin. Asher said he'd been unable to stop himself that he was drawn to Sin like some kind of force had taken him over until Sin was all he could think about. He hadn't thought that Sin would turn down the drugs because he'd been an addict. He'd just wanted his mind free from wanting Sin so bad.
Richard wondered if that was what was happening to him but then shook his head. He didn't think so. No . Even though his feelings were freaking him out he knew they were true. He was already in love with the teen sitting in his passenger seat. He really needed to get hold of himself.
"Hey, Sin." Sin looked at him with emerald eyes that seemed to glow in the dark. " Would you like to come hiking with me this weekend?"
"I don't know how." Sin said, tilting his head to the side. "But if you're with me I'll be happy to try anything."
"Good." Richard nodded, "There's nothing to it."
Sin smiled he was glad the Ulfric , no, Richard was giving him a chance.
