Insanity

ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL THOSE WHO STILL WISH TO RP WITH ME!

He doesn’t like to brag, but Theo knew that his food was rather delicious compared to what they usually served around here. So it was natural that Xander drooled over his leftovers, but he didn’t think that the half-leopard would want to tear down his beloved pantry. “Okay.” He raised his brows cautiously, raising both hands before he reached down for a plate and some utensils. “Calm down. I’ll serve them out.” The demigod carefully put his ravioli on the plate, pushing it towards the other before he picked a bowl in order to place his mango sorbet.

Before he began, Xander mouthed a small apology before he literally dug into Theo's food. Becoming the animal that he was, Xander proved he was still that leopard as his teeth tore into the prepared food, sad that he can't really enjoy it, for his stomach demanded the sustenance before enjoyment.  Once finished with his plate, Xander's face and hands were full of sauce. He blushed as he licked the sauce off his hands, then reused them to wipe the sauce off his face. He wasn't usually embarrassed about how he ate food but he was in front of the god. When his face was clean, he literally cleaned the plate before putting it down and sitting with an embarrassed look on his face. He wasn't able to meet Theo's eyes.

          “Don’t you think I already gave you the benefit of the doubt by not killing you on the spot?  By bringing you here?”

"No, I think you thought to benefit yourself, my circumstances be damned." He admitted, sitting up as she extended her hand. He moved to sit on the edge of the bed before he stood and extended his own hand to hers. He shook her hand to seal their deal. 

Thor shared a wide, farely open room together, enough to house a whole family. There bed were twenty five feet adjacent from each other. So when Thor was slowly waking up, he saw the last little bit of Xander’s body, turning the corner. There was something off about all of this. Thor almost always woke up earlier than the younger boy to feast with the rest of the warriors, leaving his son to sleep peacefully. Although Thor knew they were friends, he’d consodered Xander his son. The two had become so close these past nine years.

The deep voice suddenly behind him startled him, causing Xander to drop the orange he had in his hand that moment. As the Asgardian came closer to him, Xander backed until he hit the table. Looking behind him, he frowned when he was trapped and he shook his head. "No. I'm alright." He replied calmly, his eyes catching him without a shirt and a small blush forming on his cheeks. "What are you doing up so early?" He asked, instantly regretting it, for Thor was always up earlier than him. 

          “My abilities are the last thing I rely on.”

The boy shook his head against the wall, his eyes closing once she moved to the door. She was more stubborn than he was and he feared that it wasn't just the vampire's arrogance that would come to worry him. Still, for tonight, they were safe and he could finally sleep.

          “You may refer to me as Kino.”

There was no flinch as she threw the knife behind him, for he sensed her movement before she did so. Still, he let her remain in control that night. "As long as he has no power over me, I will not fuck up." He glared back to her, his eyes repeating her words back to her. There was a part of him that truly did wish to tear into her and he feared it'd always be there. He leaned against the wall, watching the hunter as he took the knife from the wall and twirled it on his fingers. He had never trained with weapons, never had the need to, though a part of him was always fascinated by them.  "I don't care how strong you think you are, do not underestimate this monster. Whatever help you can find, gifted humans, other weres, vampires seeking power, other hunters, etc. We're going to need all the help we can get to defeat him." She'd asked a name and that wasn't a piece of information he had, but he did have an identity. "He goes by Promeneur Nocturne: Night Walker. Classic, I know, but he's old and he's very powerful. Whatever abilities you possess, do not rely on them. They will use too much of your energy and you'll be powerless to evade him. You need to be as quick as me; quicker. I am not doubting your skills as a hunter, nor am I doubting your ability to save yourself. What I doubt is reasoning for going after him. If emotions are going to be your motivation, you're already dead."

He saw the disgust and fear in their eyes. Not that he could blame them. Usually he had control, but the hunger inside him won against his moral responsibilities. Xander sighed and stood, backing away so he was against the wall, far from their reach. He did this so the others would feel more relaxed at the distance between them and so his back was guarded against any other possible surprises that night.  "Thank you for the food." The leopard nodded and frowned. "I am sorry, though, you had to see what you weren't prepared to see. What I am is not something I am ready to explain to two strangers. I can tell you that I am dangerous, but I will not harm those who do not deserve it, if I can help it." Watching them with skepticism, he tried to put their minds at ease, though he feared he was sewing seeds of doubt. From his explanation, he probably sounded like the characters Jekyll and Hyde.

     Everything moved slowly before her, just like any other fight.  His hand moving towards her wrists, something she could have stopped but allowed to happen.  Rage was something that needed to be let out of its cage now and again.  To have it pent up and trapped the way she was physically now would only cause them both more problems down the line.  Makoto’s eyes narrowed as she responded.

Where it was true he had survived this long alone, which was very rare for a submissive to do, but he had a promise to keep. He calmed himself down as he watched the hunter, her words pushing their way into his mind, demanding to be heard, regardless he didn't want to hear it. 

Kieran sighed a bit as the other spoke, nodding slowly as he glanced at Liam. He bit his lower lip and pointed to the refrigerator, “Liam, go get the left overs from last night and pop them into the microwave.” Liam sighed and did as he was told, Kieran was the only person Liam ever truly listened to. It was the only person he trusted enough too. Kieran reached out and helped the other off the floor, guiding him at couch.

Once seated on the couch and the smell of food overwhelming his nostrils, Xander's mind went blank. Looking for a moment at the food placed on the coffee table in front of him, the animal rage inside him was let loose and he quite literally devoured the food. His eyes began to glow as the beast inside him began to be sedated. It wished to remain, but it was Xander's turn to be in control. His face was covered in the juices of the meat and his tongue licked his fingers. He was truly an animal on display for the two boys watching. All conversations were lost to his hunger, even their question was ignored, at least until he finished cleaning himself and the plate.  Modesty was a privilege and he was without it for the time being. Still, his cheeks glowed slightly as he watched the stares of the two boys. Recalling the question, Xander turned his attention to them, the glow of his blue eyes dimming down. "My name is Alexander, but I prefer to be called Xander for personal reasons." He replied, tilting his head. "And you two?"

     She nods, that much was obvious, he didn’t quite seem the type to go hell bent on revenge.  Then again, neither was she when she was younger.  Things change once a fire is lit inside of them.  Makoto stepped back, feeling his hand push her aside.  It amused her how bold he was in doing so, but she kept her mouth shut about it.

A rage lit inside him at her words. Moving closer, he pushed her hard against the wall, his hand grabbing the wrist that held the blade, then the other grabbing her wrist that went for the gun. He glared harshly at the hunter, sweat pouring down his brow and body trembling. "I'm fucking terrified." He admitted, a growl building inside him as he spoke. "If you're not scared, you're an idiot."

      Kieran cleaned up around the small apartment as their stranger slept on the sofa. he was trying to occupy himself. He couldn’t just stand their and stare at the other, as Liam was doing, sitting quietly in the arm chair and watching him sleep. Kieran finally finished cleaning and scoured their cupboards for food. He put soup on before hearing a faint sound come from the living room. When he got out there the man was standing up, clearly disoriented. 

It was strange how strangers, well the one stranger, showed him sympathy. Obviously it wasn't something he was used to and he showed his uncertainty when he looked down at the offered hand. His eyes shifted to the other boy who spoke his doubts and Xander couldn't help but smirk at him. "He's right, you know. You shouldn't be helping strangers. Good way to get you hurt."  Looking down once more at the extended hand, Xander hesitated before he placed his hand on the other's. "Guess I should follow my own advice, huh?" He tried to smile, but his free hand moved to his stomach and he crouched over once more. Looking up at the one the other boy called Kieran, Xander shook his head. "No I haven't. I fear if I don't soon, I'm going to do something I regret." The leopard admitted, his eyes scrunching together in pain.
