Kitt let out a chuckle, as they sat at the bar. Both of them now smoking. Somehow Kitt had conviced him to leave the apartment for the night and go drinking. They weren't old enough, but Kitt knew plenty of people.
Vik watched as the other boy spoke with two girls. Both of them giggling with him. He just rolled his eyes, before getting up and leaving. He didn't need to watch this. He was tired of watching this.
As he walked outside, almost stumbling over his own feet, he knew that Kitts apartment would be noisy tonight. So it was either be woken up by Xenia or listen to that all night. The former was sounding better right now.
It was too much to listen to Kitt do those things with women sometimes. Especially with how he was starting to feel for his partner. He sighed. That would never happen. Kitt was straight and he was gay. It would never work.
"Lovers quarrel?" Said a familiar voice. Edvin was sitting on the top of the stairs to the Parliament building, why had he walked this way and why had fate put him in front of the last person he would want to see.
"How can it be a lover's quarrel when we aren't lovers?" He spat at the other boy. Only to see the other smile at his words.
"So you're available then?" Edvin said with a glint in his eye. Almost like a cobra stocking its prey. Even though he knew to stay away from the other boy, he was still beautiful to look at.
"Not to you." He said, but not with as much conviction as he liked, his words almost slurring due to the alcohol.
Edvin stepped down off of the steps and closer to him, taking his hand and sliding it slowly down his face before whispering in his ear. "And why not?"
He shivered against his better judgement. Looking up into the snakes eyes. "Because you have a fiancé." It was the only reason he could think up in this state. What the other boy was tempting him with was far too enticing.
"What of her? It was never my decision. My mother picked her for me before I was born." Edvin whispered, trailing his lip down his ear. He let out a groan. "I've never been attracted to her in the same way I am to you."
With that he didn't care as he grabbed the other boy's jacket and pulled him into a kiss. Edvin pulled him closer, trying to get him to open his mouth. He did and instead rushed forth to claim his prize, as Edvin moaned against him rocking his hips against his.
His face rolled back as he let out a gasp and Edvin chuckled. "I've waited to have you Viktor. I want you. Can we?" The boy said as he started on his neck.
His heart felt like it was going to beat out of his chest. Edvin may be an ass, but he wanted him. He could never have Kitt, so why couldn't he at least sleep with Edvin. But he wasn't thinking clearly, he was too drunk, he couldn't make this decision like this, could he?
He froze as he pulled Edvin off of him. The boy looked disappointed. He blushed. "We can't do this."
Edvin touched the side of his face. "Yes, we can. Even if you taste like alcohol, I don't mind. I had a little earlier myself. " Without another word he was leaning down and kissing him again. The jolts from Edvin's touches were sending waves of pleasure down his spine. Could he do this? He wanted this, why not give in a little?
"Can we at least work up to that?" He asked. Seeing delight in the other boy's features.
"Of course, why don't we just make out tonight? Just like we did all of those years ago." Edvin said now kissing at his neck.
He gasped. "I was thinking going a little farther than that." His mind was going fuzzy as the other boy expressed his delight by biting down on his neck.
"What do you want? We can do anything you want." Edvin said taking his hand in his. Ready to lead him away.
His eyes were locked with those beautiful green ones. "Why don't we cross that bridge when we get there?"
Edvin smiled and led him up the stairs. Maybe he would regret this come morning, but right now he didn't care. He just wanted something for once and he was going to get it.
Kitt sighed putting out his cigarette in his apartment. He thought that Vik would have come back here, but it seems that he headed home.
Maybe hanging out with those girls was a wrong move, but he wanted Vik to relax a little. He always seemed so stiff for some reason. Last thing he wanted to do was alienate him. First thing in the morning he would apologize.
He walked into the guest room and was surprised to find Vik's bag was still there. Sure, he could just have went home, but that meant that Vik never came back to the apartment afterward. Was he really that mad?
Now he knew he would have to do double the apologizing. He always wondered why Vik was always mad about him flirting with girls. Heck, Vik never even looked at girls. Not in the way most guys their age did.
His mind froze. No. That…it can't. No. It made sense his parents were. NO. Vik was. No. But it made sense why Vik always had problems with Edvin Knud. Vik had always said he was too naïve when it came to Edvin, but he never once questioned it. He figured that they had just had a bad time as kids and Edvin being the snake that he is tricked him. Not..not that. If Vik was gay then how did he feel about Edvin now? Was he still attracted to the creep or had he moved on?
Maybe in time Vik would tell him. It wouldn't bother him is he was gay, but there was no way he was letting Edvin mess around with him. That boy was bad news.
But was it fair for him to mess around in Vik's love life. If he wanted to be with a guy, he really had no say in the matter.
He sighed again as the door opened and Vik walked in looking like he had just rolled out of bed. He couldn't help but stare at him. What had he been doing?
"You're still up?" Vik asked confused as to why he was still awake. That was a good question it was early in the morning, but the sun was still down.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep." It seemed like the best excuse. He didn't want Vik to think he was waiting up for him.
Vik walked up to the fridge. "So where are your girlfriends at?" The boy didn't look too interested in them, he instead looked rather annoyed.
"Dina and Hannah? I left them at the bar." This was just casual conversation at this point, be it an awkward conversation.
"Oh." He watched as Vik took one of his beers out of the fridge, they weren't old enough to drink but he knew a fair amount of people that would just give it to him.
"Yeah, I'm sorry if you thought they were coming back here. I wasn't really in the mood after you left." He figured apologizing now would be best, Vik would start talking normal again.
The boy just took a swig of his beer and said nothing. "You didn't have to stop for my benefit."
"Where did you go anyway?"
Vik sighed. "Just visiting an old friend." What did that mean?
It shouldn't have bothered him either way, but it did.
"Anyone I know." He decided ask, even though he already knew.
Vik seemed to just stare off into space, as if he would rather not speak about what had just happened.
"Anyway, I'm going to bed before the sun comes up. I think my brother has some plans he wants to go over." Vik said turning his back to him and exiting to the spare bedroom.
He sighed as he fell back against the couch, what business was it of his if Vik wanted to be with a guy. It didn't matter to him at all, but even as he tried to tell that to himself he felt a strange ache that was ever present in his chest. Even after feeling it, he chose to ignore it. What good would come from reacting to some out of place emotions? It would just mess up their friendship.
The sun was just coming up as Laxus readied himself for his trip. Grey and Juvia weren't his first picks for companions, but they were better company then most. Grey usually kept to himself and his girlfriend never really lookied at anyone but her boyfriend. Making this just look like a trip to plan a wedding was far too easy.
They were going to be headed out soon and that was the plan. Not that it wouldn't look suspicious with the other guilds showing up, but Grey and Juvia had a lot of friends outside of the guild. It wouldn't be too surprising for all of the guilds to meet under those circumstances.
He heard a small knock on the door, Mira had gotten up before he had. "What time are you heading out?" She asked as he buttoned up his shirt.
"Around ten, but before that I have to debrief the others while I'm gone." He said finishing up his shirt.
"Is Master Makarov staying until after you return?" She asked, he could see that she was wary of all of this.
"Yes, I trust him with everything while I'm away." He walked over and gave her a kiss on her forehead. "I'm leaving both you and Maky in the best hands."
"Just promise me that you will come back." She said looking up at him.
He chuckled. "Mira, I'm not going on any crazy missions. This is just a coalition to get a treaty made."
"I know but something just doesn't seem right about this. Please, watch your back. I know that we are allies with those guilds, but how many of them are truly on our side?" He hated to admit that she was right. While he would never question the likes of Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale, it was hard to trust others like Mermaid Heel. Mermaid Heel seemed the least outraged over the attack against Raven Tail 3 years ago, even though one of their former guild members was killed.
"Don't worry, I'll have Grey and Juvia there." This didn't seem to get her to calm down though, he really couldn't blame her. After losing Lisanna for a second time, he didn't think that she could handle losing someone else. With that he lifted her chin and looked down at her. "I will be back."
She gave him a small smile. "I know. Just come back in one piece."
With that he gave her a kiss and finished getting ready. The train ride would be long and he had much to discuss with the guild.
Warner sighed. It had been a long time since he had walked through Margret Town. Everything looked different, even though it had only been 5 years since then.
"Calm yourself." His wife said at his side. He wanted to, but it was kind of hard. He hadn't been at Lamia Scale in all of those years. Would anyone remember him? He didn't exactly leave on good terms.
As they reached the guild hall, he took a deep breath, hopefully they didn't know about his involvement with Raven Tail. That would make things awkward and it was not yet time for their reveal.
Instead of waiting like he wanted, Carma went ahead and opened the door for him. Eyes turned to see him standing there in the doorway. Many a face going pale.
He stepped forward as his old guild master pushed through the crowd. He figured he was in for a big long speech about timing and coming uninvited.
To his surprise Babasaama looked over him with tears in her eyes. "You're alive…how can this be?"
He was startled. If they thought him dead than they had some inkling of what he had been doing during the last 5 or so years. "That would be a long story."
She started to lead him away from the crowd. "Then I expect to hear it." Just as they reached the steps, she turned around, addressing the whole guild. "Tell no one of this arrival. Understood. If this gets out, you will all be spinning! Got that!"
"Yes, Ma'am." The words echoed through the guild hall.
Maybe Bickslow was right, there were allies to them on this side. Now hopefully Babasaama knew something about his mother.
To Be Continued….
Authors Note
So yeah, I know that a lot of people kind of liked Edvin/Vik from the previous fic and were disappointed at the ending to that. But I kind of planned this from the beginning. So Edvin/Vik/Kitt is a thing. Basically Edvin wants Vik, Vik want Kitt, and Kitt has no idea what he wants. Pick which one you prefer in the reviews. The first love or the best friend, which of them is better.
So Warner has made it back to his old guild, I wonder what Babasaama knows about Winoona's past and if she has any answers for Warner and Raven Tail.
