Tristan Campbell

Tae waved at the new customer.  Technically he was off shift and on his way out, but the other server was busy.  “Hi!  Welcome!  If you know what you’d like, I’d be happy to get you something quick before I head out.  The turkey sugar cookies are really good.  And the cute wolf boys tell me the turkey based turkey cookies are really good too if that’s your thing.”

After a long day of classes, Tristan was in desperate need of coffee or else he may fall asleep right then and there. Heading across campus he moved to the small bakery he had been meaning to check out and stepped inside. A sile lit up his face as he recognized the boy who spoke to him. “Tae. It’s good to see you again,” he said with a hum. “I’m just here for some coffee, I need to wake up a bit.” he chuckled out.

Bella hadn’t realized someone was besides her when she stopped and Tristan’s words had her looking at him slightly surprised before she smiled and shook her head. “No no, I was just…… resting my arms for a bit..” She said as she dropped her bags to the floor and sighed before looking around and wiping some sweat off of her forehead.

Tristan was already sat on the end of the bench but he moved his bag and art supplies from beside him to the floor at his feet clearing the other side of the bench for her, “Here, take a seat, you look like you could use and overall rest,” he said giving her a warm smile before offering her a clean handkerchief to use on her forehead. 

Lily was enjoying the colder weather, it was her favorite time of the year, but she wasn’t ready for winter clothing, which turned out to be a mistake, but she tried to not let it get to her. She was currently walking around with a dress and sandals as she followed after her kittens. She paused looking down to see she was in front of a man. “ Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t even see you there.” She giggled. “ sorry to disrupt your sketching.” She said looking down at his pad. “ Those are really good.” 

Tristan moved his gaze to the young woman before noticing the kittens at his feet which made him smile. “Oh thank you. I love the architecture of these buildings here so I wanted to capture it myself.” he said setting his pencil down in its case, grabbing a cloth to wipe the graphite smudges from the side of his palm. “Are these little ones yours?” he asked as he looked to the felines. 

Walking down the hallway, Sabrina held the device in the air before sweeping it towards the floor. She muttered under her breath, taking a step forward than backward. She continued towards the building seeing a bit of an increase, but not much. No wonder there were complaints. She walked further into the courtyard, frowning as the meter almost went dark. Hearing the voice, she jumped. Smiling at the man, she shook her head. “Sorry, I’m trying to get the wifi readings. For a place with magic, you would think they could signal boost it on their own.”

Tristan let out a chuckle as he listened to the female's words. “Have you mentioned that to the headmaster? Maybe he could get some of the more experienced witches around here to try and work on something for that,” he said folding his hands over his sketch pad as he shook hair out of his eyes. “Then again maybe he likes it that way, makes it more difficult for the students if wifi cuts in and out on them,” he shrugged his shoulders slightly. 

Tae opened his mouth to offer to cook for the man once he had groceries, but then the man’s lips were on his cutting off all such thoughts.  He let out a soft, pleasured sound as he returned the kiss eagerly.

His ears caught the sound the other let out and hummed against his lips, kissing him deeper as his arms snuck around Tae’s frame fully moving over him. After a short while he pulled back and smiled down at him. “Let's go get some food first and then we can come back to this and have a little fun,” he said as he rolled over onto his back, pulling Tae with him so the younger was above him. 

Tae nodded.  “Yes, Sir.  I…I don’t like to be in charge,” he said with a blush.  “Except in the kitchen,” he added in a mildly awkward attempt at a joke.  He then shook his head vigorously.  “No, Sir, I wouldn’t mind at all.”  That set off a whole new round of blushing.

Tristan couldn’t help but find the other boy simply adorable. He was very much enjoying the hints of rosiness that tinted his cheeks. “Well don’t worry there, in the kitchen, you can gladly be in charge, I can’t cook very much beyond basics.” He had always been too busy studying to cook properly. He smirked again at the other's words and closed the gap between their lips, gently brush his own against Tae’s. 

Yes, he was definitely trying to make Tae blush more.  “Can’t help it,” he mumbled even as he leaned into the man’s touch.  It was nice having his hair played with like that and he let out a happy little sound.  “Umm…..I don’t…I don’t like asking, but I like um….more….when it happens….with nice men.”

Tristan smirked at the others words. Rolling over a little bit to slightly hover over the younger male he hummed, “So you prefer when someone else takes the lead? Would you be opposed if I did want to have some fun with you today?” he asked ghosting his lips dangerously near the other's own.

“There are nice masters and mean masters.  The nice ones ask…um before,” he said with a blush.  “It’s…um nice when they ask and them um…yeah,” he babbled, ducking his head so that his face was buried in the man’s arm as if to hide his blushing.

“It’s incredibly endearing when you blush like that,” Tristan said chuckling as his hand came up to ruffle Tae’s hair. “How about this, if you find yourself wanting to do anything more then cuddling you tell me and I would be more than happy to oblige, that sound fair?” he said with a smirk. “Otherwise just cuddling is perfectly fine to me. I rather enjoy being able to hold someone in my arms while I sleep.”

Tae moved easily at the tug, more than willing to snuggle up to the older man.  He blushed and let out a happy sound at being called snugly.  As far as he was concerned that was a solid compliment.  “I like snuggling,” he said softly.  “I’d like that too, Sir,” he said to the offer of a night out of the cells. “I promise to be very good company.”

Having the other pressed against his side had him relaxing even more. It had been too long since he had someone in his arms like that. “I’m sure you will be and I promise I won’t do anything you don’t want to do. I’m sure there must be some masters here that would do whatever they like to you but I’m not one of those,” he said with a smile pushing hair out of his eyes again. 

“That would be really nice.  I’ll be sure to send you an invitation,” Tae said enthusiastically.  It was really nice to hear someone talk about his dream as something that would happen.  Even if he’d just met the man.  “That sounds nice, Sir,” he murmured.  He had to resist the urge to shift closer to the warmth of the man’s body.  That was rude to do without invitation.  “Oh, I’m happy to keep you company.”

The boy's enthusiasm was refreshing. It really did remind him of himself, he would get overly enthused whenever he got to look at architecture. Looking the boy over he couldn’t help his little smile and reached forward to tug at the back of tae’s shirt pulling the boy down to lay beside him, arm going around his shoulder. “Hope you don’t mind, I’m a bit of a snuggler and you looked very snuggly,” he said with a chuckle. “It’s thats the case... how would you feel about being able to stay out of your cell for the whole night? I’m a bit company starved.”

“I’ll be sure to do that, Sir,” Tae said happily.  “I don’t imagine I’ll be able to have my own building designed from the start but…um…maybe if it’s really successful, a new location could be um…done that way.”  He could only wish to be so lucky.  “I’m thinking of doing a fusion type place.  Asian and American mostly, with a fancy feel, but solid staples rather than super fancy dishes.  So it feels like home cooking but with flair.”

Finishing up his second suitcase he smiled as he listened to Tae talk. He was clearly very passionate about cooking and it showed. It was the same type of passion Tristan had about architecture. “That sounds nice. I’ll be sure to come and be one of your first guests when you open,” he said moving to put the second suitcase under the bed as well before moving onto the bed as well and stretching out. It was nice to stretch out after the long flight he had. “Let me relax for a bit and then how would you like to join me for dinner? A thank you for keeping me company,”

“Hydration is important.  I know I keep a big bottle by me when I’m baking.”  He needed it with the heat from the ovens.  “I could show you where the grocery stores are if you like.  Or give directions.  I do a lot of shopping.  Well, when I can afford it anyway,” he said.  He settled on the bed to watch the man.  “I’m studying cooking.  I want to have my own restaurant one day.”

Glancing up as the boy settled onto his bed he smirked, that was a sight he could get used to. Emptying out one suitcase, he closed it and stowed it under the bed before beginning the second one. “That sounds nice, I’d like that. A restaurant huh? Well if you need someone to design the building let me know,” he said with a chuckle as he moved through the rest of his clothes, taking out the few nicknacks and photos he had packed as well. Setting a picture of him and his parents on the dresser as well as one of him a Jace from their college graduation. 

It’s like the man was trying to make him blush.  Tae gave up on trying to control it; it never worked.  “Yes, Sir.  I’ll look.”  He hurried over to the fridge and blinked at what he found there.  Water, water, and more water.  A glance at the freezer showed a few ice cube trays.”  He took a bottle and walked over to the man.  “Here you are, Sir.  Um…you have a lot of cold water.  Nothing else, but a lot of water.  A lot, a lot.”

He had begun taking out his clothing and moving over the dresser and closet and putting things away. Little tedious tasks like this were something he actually enjoyed. Turning back he chuckled and took the bottle from Tae. “Thanks. Yeah, I’m a big water drinker, a guy my size got to make sure I keep hydrated,” he said with a chuckle. “I’ll have to do some shopping and stock it with stuff other than water later on.” he took a mouthful before setting the bottle down on the dresser and motioned for Tae to sit on the bed, “Come one get comfy, why don’t you tell me about yourself. What’s your major?” he asked as he continued working. 

Tae had been in enough of the suites for masters and professors to know just what room it was that the professor had looked in.  As a result, his blush intensified.  The offer to get to stay out without having to do the unpacking made him smile brightly.  He wouldn’t have minded doing the work at all, but nice masters were always a good thing.  “Yes, Sir.  That’s right.  Thank you.  I will do my best to be good company.”

Tristan smiled at the other. He could already tell that Tae was a very nice person, one that he would not mind spending time with at all. “Being with a cute boy like yourself is always good company,” he said with a chuckle as he took off his jacket and draped it over the back of a chair before opening his suitcases to get to work. “Would you mind looking in the fridge for me and seeing if they stocked it with some cold waters?” he asked tucking some of his hair behind his ears.
