[C] When It All Blows Over

Ti nudged open his bedroom door carefully, holding a hot mug in each hand.

It was over. The month of avoiding this room completely so he wasn't tainted with the extremely loud noises that had come from within was over.

Khaliq had left not too long ago and now Rai was alone.

A perfect time to sit and chat and just catch up.

He hadn't talked to the woman properly for weeks. That was a long time to go without talking to one of the only people he knew.

"I bring a peace offering," he murmured, sitting on the edge of his bed and holding out a mug for the woman.

Raisa had slept through the entire night since she calmed down and hadn't budged, not even Liq getting out of bed woke her, she was exhausted.

She did however wake when Tibor spoke.

The woman looked up groggily, rubbing her eyes as she gave him a sleepy smile.

"I was wondering where you ran off too, I'm sorry about-"

Her hand fluttered in the air uselessly, it was easy enough to understand what she was apologizing for.

The boy shook his head; an action he used instead of waving his hand dismissively at her.

"It's normal."

He didn't hold it against her. Honestly, for the last few weeks, she'd had enough held against her for him to hold this against her. It was mating season and it was normal for Wolves to get a little bit crazy.

"Here." He held the mug out a little more. She deserved a nice hot drink.

Raisa pushed herself up and took the mug, luckily she had come to her senses last night, at the very least she was showered and dressed.

Though her clothing consisted of one of Liq's shirts which she had stolen and a pair of underwear.

"Thanks, you're a godsend."

She muttered, taking a large sip of the hot beverage.

"Where have you been hiding out the last few weeks?"

She asked, she had been worried about him when she had moments of clarity.

Ti's gaze didn't even flicker down when she sat up. He'd gotten used to Rai flouncing around in just her underwear or something she'd borrowed from Liq. He didn't care any more. It was just like him slugging around wearing just his boxers and binder.

"The games room mostly."

He'd spent most of his days curled up playing Animal Crossing or watching a movie.

And, occasionally meeting a few people. Like Amr...

Rai sat up and moved to sit beside Tibor, sipping at her drink and curling in against him.

Her body was absolutely covered in bruises, scratches and bite marks.

She and Liq had really gone at it and it would take a few days for all the marks to fade.

"Well I'm glad you're alright, this month was terrible timing since you only just moved in."

Tibor wrapped an arm around the woman when she curled against him.

Ti had grown close to Rai. He felt the woman was almost a sibling to him now and he enjoyed the close contact with her.

"We can't change biology."

The woman would have to go through this twice a year no matter what.

"I was f-" The boy shuffled around a little, reaching into his pocket to pull out his phone. A text. He smiled a little, cheeks flushing as he read the text. From Amr.

"Good thing Liq is a sex-maniac otherwise I'd feel bad for him too."

The man wasn't complaining much though, he had enjoyed the weeks of constant sex as much as she had.

Rai perked up a little as Tibor stopped talking to answer his phone.

A grin appeared on her lips as he blushed, she knew what that look meant, she had seen it on a lot of people.

"Who messaged you?"

She asked, snatching the phone to take a look.

"Tibby has a crush~"

Ti flushed brighter when the woman snatched his phone away from him, reaching for it desperately.

On the screen flashed a message. The plans for a date condensed into two simple words.

From Amr:

Coffee tomorrow?

"Rai," the boy whined, still reaching for his phone.

Raisa aww'ed as she looked at the phone, that was adorable.

"So cute."

She cooed as she handed Tibor back the phone and leaned back against him with a chuckle.

She really did feel like his older sister now, it was funny how fast she had gotten attached to him.

"So how did you two meet?"

"In the games room last week."

From Ti:

Yes~ ^3^ <3

He shove his phone back into his pocket and smiled as Rai curled up against him again.

"He asked me to play a fighting game with him and we ended up playing hide and seek on animal crossing."

"I don't have to give you the talk do I? Even as a gay couple you need to be careful."

Rai teased with a grin as she nuzzled up against the boy.

She really did see Tibor as a boy, it didn't matter what parts he had or what his scent said.

The boy was quickly becoming her little brother and she was beat the shit out of anyone who said otherwise.

The boy leaned over Rai so he was crushing her under his weight.

"I know everything in that talk and then some. Please spare me the embarrassment," he murmured, still crushing her.

"We'll be careful, promise. And I don't even know if anything will come from it. This is our first proper date."

For all he knew, they wouldn't get that spark and would just float away from each other.

Raisa gave a chuckle as she was crushed, trying to shove him off.

"You sure? I'm sure I can teach you a few things."

That much would be evident from the mass of toys that had been scattered around the last few weeks.

"If he has any sense he will snatch you up quick before someone else steals you away."

The boy's cheeks puffed out and he leaned on her further as he flushed darkly.

She wanted to show him how to work toys? That was... well, it was embarrassing to say the least.

Though, he had to admit that he was interested...

"But I dont want to push him if he's not feeling it." Ti liked the man but he didn't know if the man really liked him.

Raisa laughed softly as he flushed and crushed her further.

"I bet you a ten that he is feeling it."

She replied, she didn't want to get the boy's hopes up but the messages were cutesy enough to suggest Amr was interested.

You could never really know though.

"I dont want to place bets on it."

It'd cheapen it in Ti's mind. He wanted to get to know the man and start dating him without money in the equation.

Ti wasn't so desperate for money that he'd bet on his own abysmal love life.

"But I hope you're right."
