Thomas laughed, "Yeah, he does," the boy sobred a bit, "I have to worry though. It's not that I don't trust your brother, it's just I feel almost a big brother sort of responsibility for Conner. He's extremely fragile. He's had a lot of hurt and a lot of pain in his life, and I just worry for him. Worry that he finally gets some happiness"
Conner shook his head, "His mother and sister died in Sokovia, then he was captured by Hydra and taken to Germany where they did all of the experiments. That's where the Avengers rescued him" he silenced. Conner's hands, much to his dismay, began moving of their own accord, and soon they were wrapped around Raz' neck, settling the two men into a comfortable position. A soft smile appeared on Conner's face as he looked at Raz
"I get it, my brother would never hurt him, or anyone for that matter, unless they posed a threat to those closest to him. He would protect Conner with his life if need be." he smiled at the thought, knowing that her brother had done the same for her when she left the family
He smiled in surprise "No one should go through that, I can see why he's so protective of my Ferris." he wrapped his arms around his waist "It's good to have friends like that, those are the only ones that matter in the long run." he whispered
Thomas chuckled, "For your brother's sake, let's hope so," he said, pecking her on the cheek. They walked on in silence for awhile before Thomas lead her into a particularly dense part of the forest. It thickened for awhile, then began to thin out, until it opened up into a small clearing, big enough for four people to stand comfortably. The moon shone perfectly inside, illuminating the rocks that jutted from the ground, making them seem made of crystal.
Conner nodded in agreement, feeling safe and warm in Raz' embrace. His green eyes met Raz' and he felt himself stretching closer to Raz' face, his gaze flicking between Raz' mesmerizing gaze and lips
She laughed along with him "should I be worried for my brother?" She asked lightly, settling down in the grass, pulling Thomas to her
He smiled, near militneters away from touching "so who's making the first move hm?" He smiled challengingly as his hands idly move along his spine
Thomas chuckled, "Only if he messes with Conner" he said, sitting down behind Ferris and pulling her back so her back was pressed against his chest and his legs on either side of her.
Conner smiled, "You were kind of slacking, so I figured I'd take matter into my own hands," he teased before closing the gap, pressing their lips together
She turned towards him, placing a hand on his chest and raised an eyebrow "is that threat my love?" she said playfully
His eyes widened then closed in content. He pressed him closer never wanting to break contact. after a few moments, he parted and looked him in the eyes "slacking?! really? I'll show you who's slacking…" he smiled and pressed his lips to his again.
Thomas shrugged, feigning indifference, "Perhaps," he said challengingly, meeting her eyes.
Conner smiled into the kiss, shivering slightly. He tightened his grip around Raz' neck, pressing himself as close as he could to the other man, kissing him deeply.
"wow, so you would hurt my brother?" she shook her head, playing along "unbelievable, truly unbelievable."
Raz wrapped his wings around them both, kissing him deeper. "Loki, haha jealous dog get off!" he shoved the wining husky off him "what is it boy? hm? what do you want?" loki barked for attention "what? wanna play?"
Thomas raised an eyebrow, "He'd hurt me if I hurt you" he said truthfully
Conner laughed at the dog, sliding his hands down Raz' chest before crouching in front of him and rubbing his face, "Hey there, Loki! Who's a pretty boy? Yes, who's a pretty boy. Who's a pretty boy!" he cooed, hugging the husky
"hmm, true, I guess that's valid. Fine, how about just not hurting anyone?" She said with a smile while idly tracing the curves of his muscles.
Loki, loving the attention, sat on his haunched in content and looked up Raz with satisfied dog smile.
"Alright Loki you gotta give him back at one point." Reyla, padded up and bumped his shoulder "hey girly, missed you too." He looked up at Conner and smiled, finding it very cute that he was naturally good with dogs
Thomas sighed, "Fine," he said, then smiled and leaned forward, kissing her and pulling her closer to him.
Conner hugged Reyla too, "Yes, you're a sweet girl too," he cooed, kissing each of them on the snoot before standing again, leaning into Raz with a content smile
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeper "devil," she murmured "my devil" she leaned into Thomas with a grin "but seriously, in any circumstance other than Raz hurting Conner, don't kill my brother."
"I see how it is, my dogs get more attention than I do." he sighed dramatically and sat near the cliff, looking up at the night sky
Thomas smiled, "I promise," he said truthfully, moving his lips over her chin and neck.
Conner pouted and stood, walking towards him and boldly sitting on his lap, straddling and facing him, "The dogs deserve attention too," he said, cupping Raz' face, "But don't worry. You're cuter" he smiled and pecked Raz's lips
"Mmm thank you," she ran her hands through his hair, gasping in surprise when he kissed a sensitive part on her neck
He held him so they would fall over the cliff "thank you but make no mistake, nothing is cuter than a husky." He smiled at him and nuzzled his neck, kissing him gently
Thomas smiled as she gasped, storing the knowledge in his mind before biting down lightly on the sensitive part, smirking evilly
Conner giggled before kissing him back, relaxing for the first time in awhile. Being in Raz' arms, talking to him, it just felt natural, comfortable
She felt a growl rise in her chest as he bit down "didnt eat enough at the restraint love?" She smiled at him
"Where have you been ally life?" He asked, parting slightly, but keeping close enough so he had to whisper "I've been searching and searching but never found you, until now"
Thomas smirked, "Perhaps not. Perhaps you're just too delicious to resist," he said, his voice husky. He took her lips in his and kissed her hungrily, a small growl rising in the back of his throat.
Conner smiled, leaning their foreheads together, "I've been waiting for you," he breathed, wrapping his arms around Raz' neck, "Just me and my books, waiting for you to find me," he smiled, closing his eyes and enjoying the moment
Her hands slipped under his shirt to the base of his wings. Her own growl escaping her as she kissed him back with the same hunger
"Wait, hold up…you have book?!" He squealed "ahh Yus!!!! This boi needs his knowledge!" He hugged her tight and laughed "well I'm here now, and not leaving. Ever." He gently carressed his cheek, "I promise."
Thomas tapped his chest, his shirt melting away into the disc, which he tossed a small distance away, pulling Ferris closer to him, his wings wrapping around them, sending them into their own little world.
Conner laughed, "Yes, I have a book. It's called 'Our Time Together'" he said, smiling and laying a hand gently over Raz', leaning into his touch, "You can… you can come over and see it if you like?" he suggested quietly, a soft smile on his thin lips
She whimsically laughed against his lips "convenient," Bringing her hands to his chest, she buried her head into his neck, nipping gently. "irresistible."
He smiled back and nodded "I'd like that." swinging his legs away from the cliff edge, he helped Conner get up "should we wait up for them?" he asked, referring to his sister and Thomas
Thomas smirked and ran his hands down her sides before sliding them under her shirt, a silent way of asking permission to remove it,
Conner shook his head, "Something tells me that they're a bit busy" he said with a smile, picking up the leashes and calling the dogs over
She bit her lip and shook her head slightly "not yet." she said quietly, slightly embarrassed. She sighed and laid her head down on his chest "I'm sorry, just with everything that's happened to me,…I'm not ready for that, not for a while. It's not that I don't trust you, I just…." she closed her eyes, pushing back tears that were forming from the memory "not yet," she begged
He glanced back in worry towards where the two disappeared, feeling conflicted on whether to wait for his sister and Thomas or to go with Conner
Thomas gently cupped her face, "Hey, it's okay," he said quietly, stroking her cheeks, "It's totally fine. I understand, Ferris. I get it. I'll wait as long as you need, my love" he said truthfully, smiling.
Conner clipped the leashes on the dogs and stood, "Ready?" he asked Raz, a smile on his innocent face
"I don't want you waiting for something that may never happen, Thomas, you deserve better, stronger, not a broken thing like me." she tapped his disk, watching it change colors at her touch "I love you, Thomas. I don't want to hold you back, I won't do that to you."
He kept glancing back not hearing what Conner had said what if they get hurt, what if they need help, or get lost, what if Fer doesn't come back… memories of his sister leaving flooding his senses. He crouched down and placed his head in his hands
"Hey, stop," Thomas said firmly, forcing her to look at him, "I don't care" he said, "I don't want you just for that. I love you. All of you. Every single part of you. The good and the bad" he gently stroked her cheeks, "I'm serious, Fer."
Conner furrowed his brow and crouched next to him, laying a gentle hand on Raz' shoulder, "Hey, hey… What's wrong?" he asked softly
She swallowed the lump forming in her throat and looked him in the eyes "I love you too, the good, the bad, all of you." she hugged him tight, never wanting to let go "so you're ok with waiting?"
He jumped, forgetting Conner was there "sorry, sorry…it's nothing…just thinking." he sighed and decided she was safe with Thomas "sorry, ya lets go." he sent a quick text to Ferris telling her where he was if she needed anything
//he Fer, I'm heading to Conner's house, text me if you need anything, tell Thomas that if I see a scratch on you, he's dead, love you sis.//
Thomas nodded, holding her close, "Forever if that's what you need," he whispered, rubbing her back lightly.
Conner nodded, "Okay," he smiled and held out the leashes, figuring he'd want to walk his own dogs, "My car is back at the restaurant. We can walk there and I'll drive," he said
"Thank you," she said into his neck, she glanced up when she heard her text tone ring "Raz is going to Conner's house, ha he sends you this." she showed Thomas the text and laughed aloud "brothers are great!"
He nodded and smiled "I think Loki likes you, you can walk him if you want, right Loki?" he smiled down at the dog
Thomas chuckled, "I'll keep that in mind!" he said, kissing her neck tenderly.
Conner smiled and pet the husky, who barked happily and began to walk forward. Conner slid his free hand into Raz' and smiled
She laughed again and bit his ear gently "don't taunt him, I've seen him do it before. he may be cute and innocent, but he'll do what's needed to protect those he loves"
He leaned his head against Conner's shoulder "sorry for being dramatic back there, I just worry about her." he said sheepishly
