A Helping Paw [MATURE] - Seth Amos' Apartment

[Eri]

He watched her, head craning until the bathroom door closed. Damn he thought, not really sure what she saw in him. Well, he did call her crazy, though only a little.

With her in the shower, he made his way to the kitchen, turning on a pot of coffee. He didn't know if she liked that, so he also started to warm up some water for tea. He shivered, realizing he hadn't bothered to turn up the heat when he came inside. He went down the hall, adjusting the temperature. He was still in nothing, but it was too annoying to him to bother getting dressed just to get undressed.

He noticed his ruined shirt by the door, and plucked it from the ground, following the trail and picking up everything as he went. He was a bit of a neat-freak, surprisingly. Everything had its place, and he balled up the ruined clothing and used up medical supplies before tossing it in the garbage.

He heard the water turn off, and made his way to his room again just as she came out of the bathroom. He paused for a second, head tilting before nodding. He disappeared down the hall, going into a small closet before pulling out a duffel bag. It was for when he had to leave town, but it did have a new toothbrush in it. He returned a moment later, holding it out to her. "There's a comb and toothpaste first drawer down." He owned a comb? It would probably seem surprising with his unruly locks, but he did try to at least attempt to manage it.

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka smiled and kissed him quickly before moving away again, afraid of her morning breath. Thank you. She disappeared into the bathroom again and opened the first drawer down. She grabbed the toothpaste and comb and put them on the counter. She then looked at herself in the mirror to see what she was dealing with. As usual, her hair fell perfectly and her teeth were a perfect shade of white. Her tongue was only a little whitened on the surface but not by much. She brushed her teeth and then went to brushing her hair.

As she gently brushed her hair from the bottom up, she started thinking. Now that she really had time to think and process everything carefully and slowly, she realized something. They hadn't used protection. She froze and her heart beat picked up. Shit! She swallowed hard and shook her head. No. She couldn't think like that. No. She wouldn't think like that. She wasn't ready for a child. She wasn't having a child. She couldn't. Wouldn't. That would be insane. The thing would probably be born as a wolf and Seth would kill them both. Well, worse comes to worse, shed just get an obortion. She had the money. She had tons of money.

She shook her head and along with that he worries. They went away as now she had everything taken care of. Sighing, she finished brushing her hair and walked out of the bathroom. She now had the scent of a normal werewolf. Nature and pine. But of course to a human she would just simply smell good. She pursed her lips as her stomach growled. Was breakfast ready yet? She flared her nostrils and realized it was almost done. She walked out of the bedroom and to the kitchen where Seth was. She took a seat at a small table.

[Eri]

Seth just chuckled, finding his boxers from the night before and pulling them on. He went back to the kitchen, humming to himself as he pulled out food from the fridge. He started up the sausage first, watching it sizzle in the pan as he made the pancake batter. He had a sweet tooth that morning, and searched into his cupboards before pulling out chocolate chips.

He liked sweets.

The sausage was almost done, and he quickly added the eggs to the pan as the pancakes cooked on a separate skillet. The smell of the food made his stomach growl, and he popped some bread into the toaster before pulling out butter, syrup, and plates. He added the chocolate chips to a few of the pancakes, not really sure if Luschka liked them.

He still didn't know a lot about her...well, he would learn now, wouldn't he?

He turned when he heard her footsteps, and turned off the stoves before making two plates. "I made coffee and warmed up water to tea..." he said, seeming to be suddenly unsure of what to do.

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka smiled again and cocked her head. Wow, she was in a really good mood today. I'll take either. Both are fine. She sighed happily and leaned back in the chair. To her embaressment, her stomach growled. She chuckled and moved a hand to her stomach as if that would silence it for now. She looked at Seth and smiled again. Wow. How things could change in just a few hours. Now that she smelled wonderful again, she decided she could kiss him without scaring him off.

Lu didn't care how he smelled, she just cared about how she smelled. So she got up and walked over to him, pulling him to her. She wound her arms around his neck and grinned. She leaned her forehead on his and looked at him, her eyes going a bit cross. Now her thoughts about being hungry for food were replaced with thoughts of how hungry she was for him. Smiling still, she kissed him lightly to see if he would come back for more. If his hunger for her was equivallent to hers for him.

[Eri]

He laughed when her stomach rumbled, but his followed after her as well. He had been pouring two cups of coffee when he felt two arms snake around his neck. He turned, blinking when she pressed her forehead to his. She smelled like his shampoo, which was a complete turn on. He returned her kiss, though in the back of his mind he knew his smelled something bad.

He stopped though when his stomach rumbled again. He laughed, "although I would love to have you for a morning snack, my stomach seems to argue." He lifted two plates, offering her one. "Do you like chocolate in your pancakes? I have a bit of a sweet tooth...."

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka chuckled softly and released him from her grasp. Well, at least she knew he would be kissing her if he wasn't hungry. She put her thumbs in her back pockets and gave him an 'are you kidding me?!' look. Who doesn't?! She smiled and laughed whole-heartedly. She took one of the plates from him and set it down on the table. She turned back to him and cocked her head. Silverware? She was curious as to where he kept it. She would need some to eat anyway. She may be a werewolf but she isn't a slob. Infact, she's quite the opposite. She loves it when things are neat, clean, and situated properly.

She zoned out for a second when she spotted something framed on the wall. A medalion with the Amos family crest. She blinked a few times and realized that last night she had sex with the most notorious werewolf hunter. These realizations just become more and more serious--but she still wouldn't trade it for the world. Hopefully Eclipse never found out. That would be the worst thing ever. She couldn't be demoted, but she knew he defenitally wouldn't be happy with her for not telling him. She had to tell him. And soon. Probably today. They were close, and she hoped he would honor that and not try to kill Seth.

[Eri]

"Ah," he turned, opening a drawing next to the sink before pulling out two already rolled up silverware. He liked things organized after all. He smiled, "My uncle always gave me crap about liking chocolate in them." He explained as they sat down at the small table. He grabbed the syrup, pouring it over his pancakes heavily. Be somehow managed to do so without getting it on his eggs and sausage. He had tje toast for the two of them on a small plate.

Before digging in though, he paused. He closed his eyes, tilting his head downwards as he said a small prayer in Hebrew. The Amos family had a rich history, and were religious warriors against werewolves. Long ago they often worked for the church to purge evil spirits. The church never knew that they were simply using their resources to hunt.

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka smiled when she saw him pray. So he's a religious man too. Sexy. She figured it was Hebrew since she knew the history of the Amoses. Who didn't though? She sighed and rested her head in her hands. She would pray herself, but she hadn't really been raised in a religious family. It was more of a fight-to-the-death family. Both of them. Her biological and 'adoptive' families. She suddenly lost her appetite. Mom. Dad. Isabella. Shane. Those names kept going round and round in her head. She hadn't realized that she was starting to cry until a tear landed on her finger and trailed down her arm.

She wiped at her eyes in a delicate way. This was silly. Why was she crying? Why was she acting this way? She had just had the best night of her life, and the man she loved was sitting across from her, and he had made her a wonderful breakfast which was right infront of her. This made no sense. She sniffled and laughed a little. Sorry. Overwhelming flash backs. She looked at him and tried to smile. It probably didn't work too well.

[Eri]

When he had finished, he looked up and was surprised to see her crying. Oh god, did I do something wrong? he reached forward, placing a hand on her shoulder in a comforting manner.

At her statement, he gave a faint smile. "I know what you mean. I think there's a philosopher that said something like 'If you want to be sad live in the past. If you want to be anxious live in the future. If you want to be peaceful live in the now.'" He leaned back in his chair.

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka smiled and nodded. She willed herself to stop crying and, thank God, they did. She hated crying in front of Seth. She knew how uncomfortable it made him feel. He obviously wasn't the emotional type. Lu picked up her fork and knife and started eating. She quickly finished her breakfast and smiled again. Thank you. That was amazing. And she didn't just mean the breakfast.

She stood up slowly and ran her fingers through her nearly-dry hair. Want me to clean up while you take a shower? She picked up her plates and then his. She walked over to the sink, put them on the counter, and turned to him questioningly. He was still in nothing but his boxers and she was in her jeans, and his shirt. She sighed and pulled her hair to the side and played with it.

[Eri]

"Ah, thanks...I'm not used to cooking for a second person." he admitted. At her offer to clean up, he hesitated slightly. Still, he felt disgusting now that his stomach wasn't distracting him. He walked over, pressing a kiss to her temple. "Sure, that'd be great." he motioned to a cupboard door, "There's a dishwasher in there." The apartment hadn't originally had one, but dammit it was too convenient for him to just miss out on.

With that task left to her, he padded his way back to his room. He pulled out fresh clothes, disappearing into the shower. Once in the warm water hit him, he hissed as the many cuts started to scream out in protest. He turned the water even hotter, letting it pelt at his skin to loosen his muscles. He watched the drain slowly change from red to clear as the blood and dirt left his skin.

He came out a few minutes later, looking at his battered torso with an annoyed eye. He pulled on clean pants, leaving his shirt off for now. He wanted to put on fresh antibiotics and bandages. He did his best to get his hair tamed, but sighed and just ruffled it in the end. After brushing his teeth, he shaved the shadow from his face and neck before coming out of the shower.

He didn't like his beard growing in, it only seemed to make people more intimidated by him. He slung his clean shirt over his shoulder, returning to the kitchen. "I'm black and blue all over."

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka smiled and got to work. She rinsed the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. She cleaned the table and by the time she finished, he had returned. When he stood in the room and commented on how bruised and injured he was she smiled half-heartedly. I know baby. What you have to think about is that soon, you'll get better. She stroked his cheek softly with her thumb.

Seth smelled and looked so much better though. Last night she hadn't really cared since she was kind of busy, but this morning she had and it would have broken her heart if she wasn't so ecstatic. She kissed him now. They both had eaten a good meal and showered so there wouldn't really be any distractions. But she pulled away, biting her soft bottom lip. Did he still want her after last night? She cocked her head, thinking to herself. Maybe he's tired of me now....maybe he needs a break from me because he's not used to being with someone this way? Not in a physical way, but more in an emotional way?

Looking at him she took a step back. She looked at his injuries. Again they pestered her making her feel that she would hurt him. She was surprised she hadn't last night--y'know, with her werewolf strength and all. She knew her eyes were defenitally glowing a little from all the intense emotions she had been feeling. She wondered if her claws had come out.... Well, it didn't matter. Her eyes were closed most of the time and she wasn't really using her hands. She pursed her lips wondering if he would go back in for a kiss--or kisses.

[glow=white,2,300]Eclipse Holt

[/font][/glow]

What part of 'born wolf' don't you understand?

[/size][/color][/font]

Sitting outside the Royal Apartment Complex, Eclipse kicked the kick stand down on his motorcycle and sat there for just a moment, trying to process the information that a pack member had given him. Why would Luschka be here? he thought, already throwing a booted foot over the back of his bike while thrusting the ends of his trench coat over the bike as well. Once he was standing on the other side of his bike, he scratched his head one more time, still not sure what was so bad about Lu seeing a human, he tended to push his pack to spend as much time with humans as they wanted . . . . unless . . . . No! Luschka was his Beta Female, she wouldn't be spending time with a Werewolf Hunter . . . . .

No, he pushed the thought far back in his mind. His Beta Female was wild, but smart.

Walking around the bike, he recalled the information of the apartment number and location that had been given to him. Standing in front of the door, he took a good whiff of the area, wishing he hadn't as he smelt more than his fair share of the insides of these apartments. As a young wolf, he had practically lived in these apartments and had seen some of their insides. It wasn't pleasant in some cases.

Growling under his breath, Eclipse raised his fist and rapped on the hard wood with his knuckles. Once he knocked, he took a step back, shoulders rolling and popping as he repositioned his coat on his shoulders. The Eden Town steel mill work shirt covered his chest, while his typical blue jeans with oil spots stains and black boots simply made him look like any old human that lived in Eden Town, probably looking for his wife to drag away from her lover.

[Eri]

Seth's head snapped towards his door, eyes narrowing as he pulled his shirt over his head. Within a second all signs of his fight the previous night was hidden. He glanced back at Luschka, a questioning look on his face. "Your friends wouldn't happen to be looking for you or anything, would they?" he asked as he quickly moved through his living room. Within a few moments all signs of weaponry was tucked away, and the Amos family seal was gone. Three of the blades however had disappeared into his clothing.

He then made his way to his door, peering through the peep hole. Well, this guy certainly didn't look welcoming. He also wasn't familiar, which only caused more alarm. He turned to Luschka, and gestured to the peep hole. "A friend of yours?" he questioned, gesturing for her to see.

[Âłíșōñ]

Luschka sighed when she heard the door knock. She kissed Seth quickly and walked to the door. I'll get it. She opened it a crack and the air flooded in carrying in an all too familiar scent. Eclipse. Her eyes widened as she looked at him and her mouth fell open. Eclipse! What are you doing here? She looked quickly back at Seth and then back at Eclipse. She held up one finger to Seth as to say 'one minute'.

She stepped out and closed the door behind her firmly. How did you find me? Who told you I was here? She growled quietly. This was outrageous. WHo knew she was here? Who knew exactly where she was? She looked around, making sure no-one was around to hear this conversation. She crossed her arms and tapped her toes, aggrivated.
