"Hey! I’m back! And I brought a stray with me!!” Elias called out upon entering the door digging out the items from his pockets and dumping them on the kitchen counter as he made his way there. “Hey!! You here?” he ran his hand blindly across the wall before he found the switch to flick on the light. Elias blinked while his eyes adjusted to the bright kitchen light. He tilted his head to listen for any noise but heard nothing. He shrugged as he moved to open the fridge, he looked over his shoulder as Demetri walked through the door “I think Yonen is out, want a beer?” Demetri looked disgruntled before shaking his head. “God Elias, and you wonder why people think you’re a bad parent. I’m not technically legal yet!” Demetri huffed, flopping down into one of the kitchen chairs and resting his arms across the table “I’ll take a coke though if you have it” He smiled when he saw Elias pouting at him but didn’t reply as the man brought him a soda before sitting across from him. “I take offense to that but I won't argue, I’m pretty sure I’ll constantly forget how old Anti is once he’s your age… besides in Illusia we don’t have this of age bullshit.” Elias grunted, leaning back as he popped open his beer and took a sip. Demetri shrugged noncommittally before he took a few sips of his drink “Yeah well here on Earth we have age limits because humans can be pretty idiotic at my age. You wouldn’t believe it.” he huffed slightly, an obvious mixture of a snort and a laugh, “Anyways I’m just down for a few days on an assignment and since I was in the area I thought I’d stop by while I was around.” Elias smiled at Demetri softly before he shook his head just ever so slightly “When are you going to stop doing these assignments? I understood why you took on killing all the members of the gang that did whatever it is to your family but… you really didn’t need to become a professional hitman. This isn’t good for your health, mental or physical” as Elias said the last word he waved a hand in Demetri’s general direction, showing that Demetri’s weight loss had not gone unnoticed. In response Demetri groaned and rubbed his face “Elias, god, please stop. I just, I have nothing else okay? At this point I don’t even know what else to do. I’ve been doing this for so long now its just who I am.” he took another sip of his soda before he glanced up at his friend, his pseudo dad, sighing and placing his head down on his arms “Please, please just don’t start this today. I know you’ve taken care of me for over ten years now and you’re worried, but please.” Elias smiled weakly down at his friend, reaching over to gently ruffle the bronze tresses “Maa Demetrius, as you have said I have watched over you for more than ten years now. I cannot help but worry, you know that” Elias’ voice was soft, taking on that tone he quite often used when trying to sooth one of his siblings or his son, or even the many children constantly in his care. “Ano, you do realize telling Elias not to worry is pointless. He doesn’t have the ‘don’t worry’ function.” A deep voice suddenly spoke up from behind Elias causing the man to jerk and turn around quickly. Demetri also reacted by straightening upon hearing the voice but relaxed the second he recognized the older male. Yonikusu, often referred to as Yonen, stood six foot seven. He had a very wiry yet fit frame, that only seemed to make him look even taller. He was naturally pale which only ever seemed more so in comparison to his naturally silver hair. Dark blue eyes that always seemed guarded stared at them more openly now as he came through the door wearing a white tank top that hung loosely across his body and sweat pants. Sweat was trickling down his face and neck easily soaking his shirt with it. “Ahhh, Yonen you scared me!” Elias cried before he jumped from his seat to go greet the male. Demetri just eyed the two taking another sip of his soda. “Elias, you’re part cat I shouldn’t be able to sneak up on you at all, you know” Yonen mumbled as the younger male wrapped his arms tightly around his waist ducked his head against Yonen’s neck. Yonen rested his chin atop copper tresses and looked over at Demetri, completely ignoring Elias’ mumbled excuses. “Hello Demetri, it has been a while but you seem...well” Yonen voice was soft, civil but to trained ears the undercurrent of hostility was ever present. Demetri twitched slightly, unnerved by the man’s presence as he had always been. He would probably never understand how two completely opposite personalities could get along so well the way Elias and Yonen did; “Yes well, I have an assignment close by thought I would drop in.” Demetri muttered, looking away as he wiped his palms against his pants. “Mm, of course, I heard such.” Yonen replied in such a way it was obvious he was dismissing their conversation, turning to look down at Elias he pressed a gentle kiss to the male's forehead. "Anthony make it to his mother's okay?" Yonen murmured, smiling when Elias huffed but nodded. "Yeah I picked this stray up on the way home" Elias murmured, humming softly. @Dcotpforeva
