Gale was still a bit lost. "What kind of rules?" He asked, now wondering what Ronan had in mind considering how this had deviated from the course he had in mind.

Ronan smiled. He found it amusing that the other never gave it a thought. "For example. If this is just sex, then we can leave it at that. No more dinners or breakfasts or baths. Nothing that could make us bond in an intimate manner. We could also avoid telling each other who we are also sleeping with to avoid jealousy. We can also limit communication. There are many rules that we could use."

Gale took in everything he explained and he disliked it all. "So I should what? Kick you out now?" His displeasure was evident by the way his eyes narrowed. He was good at hiding his emotions, but only when he was wearing his mask. He was not trying to hide anything when being around Ronan.

Ronan didn't think Gale would appear so lost. Was he not aware of his own feelings. "Basically, if you don't want for this go beyond sex, then we should put a few rules."

Gale was still a bit lost. "What kind of rules?" He asked, now wondering what Ronan had in mind considering how this had deviated from the course he had in mind.

"Yes, is this really just fucking to you?" He asked and took another topic. "Should we set some boundaries in case you don't want this to get deeper?"

Gale blinked a few times. He felt like he had taken some physic damage with those questions. He focused on the second question instead of the first. "What do you mean by boundaries?"

"Then you don't need one." He shrugged as he moved to grab the class he just cleaned so he could get some water. "Are all of this questions because you want to take this further?"

Gale blinked at that. Seconds later he was blushing. "Taking this further?" He question as if Ronan was talking a super foreign concept he knew nothing about.

Ronan laughed and leaned in to kiss his cheek. However, it was the hellhound who spoke next. "Hellhounds are, but it is as secretive as the supernatural secret."

"I know. You are suppose to protect people like me. Are you trying to become my bodyguard?" He turned around and smiled a him. "I have a pretty good one already."

"I'm aware." Ronan said as he stood close to him. "If we were in a session I would say you are projecting. Do you think I'm a plan set up by someone to mess up with you?" Ronan asked him with a smile. "Who would know you were into older men?" He asked, "Sorry, younger men since you are older than me."

Gale glanced a him and smiled. "You and your wit." He said and started to dry his hands. "I won't like about our ways, but you are also quite secretive, no?"

"A way to trick people?" That was a new one, though he did calm put himself in a positive persona when speaking to clients. It encourages openness and comfort. "Why would I need to trick you?" Ronan asked him as he followed him.

"Yes, just like us kitsune trick others." Gale said as he started to wash the put the leftovers in separate containers. "Hellhounds are usually aggressive creatures. They don't ask questions, they just do their missions and leave."

Ronan chuckled again. Yes he was right. Why would he care about the light bill. "Sorry, I sometimes forget, but more importantly. Is this your way of saying that you want to fight me?"

Gale took their plates and started to walk towards the small kitchen. "I would love to fight you yes. I want to know if this nice persona of yours is just way to trick people." He didn't actually believe that, but he believed that there was so much that he didn't know about him. It was obvious that Ronan kept most things to the chest even when it ddn't look like did.

Vai rolled his eyes. "Start driving then."

Gale chuckled and started to drive. "Get my phone number. We will be in contact often." And they would be. Vai had a lot of potential. Potential he could use.

Gale's eyebrows went up. "Are you seriously asking me for you to become the heater?" He asked, but he gave it some thought actually. "You won't like...die of cold water?"

Ronan laughed. "I won't die, no. Hellhound fire is not killed that easily just like kitsune foxfire is not killed that easily." Apparently his fire was far stronger. "And it is just an option if you want to control your light bill."

That was a fair point. Water didn't kill their fire because it was magical fire. Magic had to fight against magic. "I wonder how my magic would fair against your fire." He said and finished eating. "I'm rich. That's not going to be an issue."

Gale laughed. "The man who rans hot is excited about a bath?" The kitsune wondered if Ronan would melt. After all he was the man on fire.

Ronan laughed as he put his clothes on top of the bed. "Just don't make it hot and we should be fine." He said, "Actually make it cold. I'll warm it for you."

Gale's eyebrows went up. "Are you seriously asking me for you to become the heater?" He asked, but he gave it some thought actually. "You won't like...die of cold water?"

Vai couldn't believe it. This guy was way too relaxed after basically threating his life. "Take me to my job then. The Sea Bar"

Gale smile. "As long as you tell me where that is." He had never heard of that place.

Ronan shook his head. "I'll eat it later if anything. I am more excited for this bath." He said and got out of the bed to look for his clothes. "I should have brought a set of new clothes..."

Gale laughed. "The man who rans hot is excited about a bath?" The kitsune wondered if Ronan would melt. After all he was the man on fire.

Vai blinked a few times. "That's really it?" He asked him.

"That's really it." Gale nodded with agreement. "There is nothing else I want to know."

This could be us 🐒🐒

@ronanhounddunbar

Gale chuckled and took a piece of his plate to 'help him'. "It is in this room. You didn't get to see it last time, but there is a big bath there, enough for the both of us."

Ronan just chuckled. Gale could be such a child, but it was adorable considering his age. "I did not, but I'll trust you on how big it is. Shall we use it now? I think I ate enough."

Gale laughed. That sounded so stupid and he blamed his dirty brain for that one. "Are you sure you don't want to eat more? That hellhound must consume a lot of energy."
