Re: ** Silly Silly **

"No, would be nice if you did. I could always suck on some ice but that would make it harder to suck on other things later." Mandisa said. She waited for the sandwich to cool and then she started to eat it. So good. She loved bacon so much. "I don't know how Eden can be a vegetarian. I really don't."

"I did," Gaius said. "I do. I just...wish it wasn't fake." He was being incredibly open and honest but he'd learned to be very quickly. Jiyong had no love for lies and he'd been very open with that.

[Cedahlia]

"He never used to be, as Jihae. It's funny." Jiyong said he found the changes in them all to be amusing. Though mireya was most like her old self.

Taeyang struggled. He opened his mouth and then closed it again. He was so worried that if he said or did something it would be crossing a line. Part of him wanted Gaius to mean with him, but another doubted. "Should I find you someone to date?"

[Cedahlia]

"Hm...I wonder why he is now then," Mandisa said thoughtfully as she ate her food. "I'm not even sure when he decided to be like that. I guess when I was little? I can't remember him eating meat. I've never thought to ask why he does that. I just always thought he was weird," she said with a laugh.

"No," Gaius said, near laughing again then. "Really no. Sorry. I think I know what I like better than you do. Plus I don't really want that. Some random person. I'm not ready for blind dates or anything yet. I want someone I can trust. Like I trust you."

[Cedahlia]

"I never asked," Jiyong said but he was the quieter twin. He expected by now Taeyang had asked. But he was busy so they would have to wait.

"There's not many people like me," Taeyang replied, because he was struggling. He needed a green light, but he felt they were only small indications, ones be could misread easily.

[Cedahlia]

"It's not important," Mandisa said and continued to eat her food. "I was just curious." Maybe she'd ask when she saw him next.

"There's no one like you," Gaius said. He was also struggling. He took a breath to help build up some courage. "I like you," he said finally. "A lot. I'm sorry if that messes with out friendship but I don't want to lie about it anymore. I don't want to be your pretend boyfriend because I want to be your real one. I'm sorry." He kind of wanted to hide after saying all that.

[Cedahlia]

"About why he's a vegan? Or why he changed so much this time? I am not sure you can ask him that, unless he believes in previous lives and has remembered parts of it. It would confuse him." Jiyong said, but he was such a literal person.

"Oh." Taeyang said and almost laughed. He couldn't help it. "I'll tease you all the time, but it will be always be in jest. I am very rarely serious, because I think life is meant to be fun and serious things aren't. I'm hard to be around as a friend or family, you do realise that right? But if with all of that knowledge you still want to give it a bash, let's do it."

[Cedahlia]

"Oh the vegetarian thing. Like he would know why he's not the same in this life as opposed to the last one," Mandisa said with a laugh. "You're silly."

"Really?" Gaius was shocked. "I didn't expect that." He really didn't. "I know how you are, Tae. I like you for who you are, not because you've been protecting me."

[Cedahlia]

"That's what I was thinking, in my defense." Jiyong said, he laughed though. Because out of him and his brother, he wasn't the silly one. He finished up his breakfast and took their plates to the sink to rinse them before popping them into the dishwasher. "You're sillier than I, just in case you forgot."

"Well, you know. I just want to know things. Same as you do." Taeyang said, but he didn't say anything else. He just pulled Gaius closer and kissed on him softly. He wasn't going to be rough, not unless it was asked for. He was going to be sweet and gentle with him, because that's what he thought Gaius deserved.

[Cedahlia]

"Oh I didn't forget," Mandisa said. She just sat there and watched what he was doing. "Should we go check on the others? Make sure they're not up to no good?" She was just nosy. Plus mischief.

Gaius didn't reply because he was suddenly receiving kisses. Nice kisses, too. There was no force behind them, no aggression. They felt gentle and sweet. He could succumb to those kisses and feel comfortable that his trust wouldn't be taken for granted, that Taeyang wouldn't suddenly bite him or hurt him.

While they kissed, Taeyang received a message in response to his picture mail. Just remember, all it takes is one touch to end your happily ever after.

[Cedahlia]

Jiyong laughed, "We can visit with Zeke. Not with Taeyang. He's busy." He said, but he didn't say what was happening. Just pulled her along to Zeke's room.

"Pause." Taeyang said, because he felt his phone go off, he knew it was his shitty brother. "One moment to reply to him. Then I'm going to make out with you some more. And turn it off." He read it, he didn't react. He took a picture of just him with a rather smug look, he apologised that Gaius wasn't in the picture but his head was slightly lower and his mouth was full, he added on 'I'm not scared of you, you can't kill me and you have to go through me to get him. Remember it took just one spark to ruin YOUR life. Imagine what more can do?'

[Cedahlia]

"Lies, he's never busy," Mandisa replied. "But sure, let's go pester the kid." Not that she was all that much older than him. At all. Like two years. But still. She was going to call him that because it got him mad and she thought it was funny.

Zeke had cleaned up his room and was currently laying on the floor in the middle of the room texting away on his phone.

"Okay," Gaius said and tried not to act like he was worried about how his ex had reacted to the picture of them being silly together. He didn't try to read the screen or see the message that had been sent. He didn't look at the reply later though he could tell from Tae's expression that he was sending another picture message back.

[Cedahlia]

Jiyong knocked because zeke was a teenager and needed his space. His privacy for whatever teenagers did.

Tae put his phone on silent and then pulled Gaius into his lap. "I'm going to take you out on so many awesome dates. So many you won't know what's hit you, I'll be the best boyfriend ever. Ever."

[Cedahlia]

"Yeah?" Zeke answered the knock on the door. He didn't look up from his phone. "It's safe. You can come in."

Which Mandisa did. She just burst into the room and almost tripped on the teen on the floor. "What are you doing?" she asked, amused that he was just laying there on the floor instead of somewhere comfy.

"Sexting my boyfriend," Zeke replied, his fingers flying across the screen. He finally put the phone down. "What do you want?"

Gaius couldn't help but smile. "I know you will. And I'm curious to see what kind of dates you come up with." Because they wouldn't be typical. There was nothing typical about Taeyang.

[Cedahlia]

"For you to not do that. Are you even legal?" Jiyong said and made a face at Zeke. "Behave yourself or lose privileges." gross. "I don't even sext Mandi. It's not classy."

"They will blow your sheltered mind. So will the sex, of course." Tae said because it was so true. He was so very amused.

[Cedahlia]

"Who said I was classy?" Zeke asked as he sat up. "And I'm nearly eighteen so that probably makes me legal in most regions," he pointed out. "Besides, he's not even any good at it. It's actually fairly hilarious. And I wouldn't have to do it at all if I ever got to actually see him," he added with a pout.

"I'm not sheltered," Gaius protested. "Okay, you have been sheltering me so I guess that's fair. But I wasn't before that." Not that he'd exactly lived a tough life. He was not innocent though.

[Cedahlia]

"You make it sound like we don't allow you to see him," Jiyong sighed in a frustrated way. It wasn't like that, they just didn't want to hear sex if they were in the house. "Invite him for dinner tonight, he can stay but I swear to Arceus himself if I hear one moan, from either of you I will never invite him again. Ever. I will ban you from seeing him, texting him, or even thinking about him."

"Compared to the standards of a god? You've been sheltered. Shut up." Taeyang laughed, a nice god. He didn't count his dickhead evil brother. He didn't count at all. "If you tell me that you enjoyed any intimacy with Yveltal, I'll need to re-evaluate your personalty." Because he couldn't imagine it was anything good.

[Cedahlia]

"You can't control my thoughts," Zeke said with a raised eyebrow. "Are you telling me I can't have sex with my boyfriend at all or just when you're not in the house? Because he doesn't live with his parents. I can just go over there if it's that much of an issue."

"Of course I didn't," Gaius said and near rolled his eyes. "Does that even need to be said? Because I think not. But he's not the only guy I've ever been with. I at least know how it's supposed to go." Which was helping him get over Yveltal and be ready for someone new. He remembered what it felt like to be in someone's arms that wasn't out to hurt you for their pleasure. If Yveltal had been his first, he'd likely be ruined for intimacy.

[Cedahlia]

"I don't want to hear it, or hear about it." Jiyong said, that was all he said as well. He wasn't going to give permission or take it. That would be hypocritical and he didn't feel like it. He really didn't. "So go ahead and invite him over. I hope he likes whatever we decide to have for dinner, because I don't like him enough yet to let him have a choice."

"I didn't say he was. But you're ignoring the very vital point that I was making." Taeyang said and frowned as if he was frustrated. But all he did was throw Gaius on the bed and tickled the crap out of him. "I. Am. A. God. Electric. God. Sparks. Are. My. Specialty. You. Are. Sheltered. From. Such. Awesome."

[Cedahlia]

"He can't come over," Zeke said without even texting the guy to ask. "He's with one of my band mates or something. Whatever. He's not close enough to make it to dinner. But thanks for asking and then saying you don't like him. Because that makes me feel so comfortable with it." He sounded frustrated but it wasn't really with Jiyong.

Gaius laughed and struggled against the tickles. "Okay, I get it now," he protested as he rolled over. He had so not made that connection in the least. But he was fire and they were passionate. Fire fed well on air so potentially he could have been good lovers with Yveltal. The man himself got in the way of that.

[Cedahlia]

"Well, to be fair. I don't know him. So stop bratting out, gosh." Jiyong said and dramatically tripped over Zeke as well. Only to land on him though and give him hugs. He gave him one of those gorgeous as fuck smiles, because it worked on everyone. If he wanted them to stop being moody or whatever. You couldn't be when that smile happened. He lit up rooms, for fuck sake. HE MADE THE WORLD TURN.

"You had better," Tae said, he stopped tickling then. His torture had worked and he didn't need too continue it. "I was going to take more pictures of us, but you know I'm more interested in your lips right now." He said and rolled Gaius back over onto his back and leaned down to kiss on him some more.

[Cedahlia]

"Gosh, fine," Zeke said in response though his mood seemed to have improved. He just lay there and allowed himself to be squished. There was no point in fighting it. He'd learned that. "Your girlfriend is being creepy and staring at us," he said.

"I'm not sorry," Mandisa replied.

Gaius couldn't reply because of kisses but he was quite happy with that. He put his arms around Taeyang and just continued to kiss him until both of them were breathless from it.

[Cedahlia]

"She is probably imagining all sorts of disgusting things." Jiyong said, with a laugh and shook his head. "or I took her breathe away again with my smile." He said with a very happy look, the smile returning for her.

"Okay, enough of that." Taeyang said and cleared his throat. Awkward. He was getting totally horny. Not that it had been ages, but just because.

[Cedahlia]

Mandisa smiled and looked away. "I am not telling you a thing," she said to him and refused to look at him. It was so unfair how he did that. Really.

"Are you going to let me go now?" Zeke asked. "And why did you come to see me anyway?" They hadn't said. They'd just come in and then got on him about his boyfriend.

Gaius laughed. "Okay," he said. He was perfectly fine with limiting their interactions as a couple to sweet kisses. There was no reason to rush anything. So he was being pretty chill about it. Though it had been ages for him he felt no desperation.

[Cedahlia]

Jiyong laughed, he was proper amused. Aw, bless her. "Mandisa was bored so we came to be mischievous at you but we all fell over. Oops?"

"Do you have any work to do today?" Taeyang asked, he straightened out their clothes and sat up.

[Cedahlia]

"Bored? How can you be bored after what happened this morning?" Zeke asked Mandisa in surprise.

"What do you mean? It was fun. It happened. Now it's ended."

"Yeah but...Ahhh..." No peace. None. The teen was out of luck.

"I do have a task for the day," Gaius answered. "One of Master Lucian's children got angry and there was an accident with fire...So now I must find three new servants. I suppose a visit to the graveyards will be needed."
