Waitin Wolf

[Synistergrrl]

~The talks with the Coyotes had gone well enough, though Gabriel had gotten hurt, but for the most part things had gone okay. Joe had gone with Darry and the others to the hospital, but where Soda, Possum and Pony had gone up to Gabriel's room when the doctor had said it was okay, Joe had slipped out to go smoke. He was leaning on the wall outside, the smoke between his fingers and his other hand hooked into the loop holes of his jeans. He looked like a hoodlum, like a true Juvenile Delinquent standing there with all those tat's and the black wife beater and those beat up jeans. His boots were scuffed and worn, biker boots though he didn't ride a bike. But even as people passed him, pulling to the opposite side of the side walk, none of it seemed to bother the wolf. He just gave a dark smirk to the group of nurses coming on duty who stared at him like he might be there to hold them up.~

~When Darry appeared, Joe gave him a grin, offering the smoke to the vampire. Those pale blue eyes flickered up to stare at the slightly amber eyes of the vampire. He gave a slight smirk. He had when the Coyotes had shown up looked a bit more beat, like he'd been in a fight, but now, well there was hardly any mar on his skin. The only thing left was the claw mark from Ace that played nastily across his shoulder and chest. But it was already healing a little bit.~

Well I guess that went as well as it could, huh?

~He blew out a smoke ring before laughing a little and running a hand through the dark hair. Glancing finally up at Darry, a smile returned as he straightened up some. He was somewhat wild like Soda, but there was a dreamy quality like Pony as well to him and ofcourse the wolf was stunning to look at. He had that easy grace and that looping gait. But the smile faltered a bit.~

So my Bassist is being a bitch and wants to head back home...

~He glanced over at Darry as he let this news ripple from him.~

I told him to go. He's such a fucking bitch....

~He growled and then sighed.~

I think my band's breaking up.... so... that idea of you coming with me is kinda falling apart....

~He shrugged. But Darry would know that the other two vampires wouldn't mind having him around. And it seemed that's what Joe was asking. Darry had to know that Soda already would have plans for them, or if he didn't, he'd be coming up with them soon. Joe inhaled the smoke from the cigarette before slowly blowing it out. He had grown a bit quiet as he was staring up at the sky.~

You gonna hunt with me on the full Moon?

~It was such a seemingly innocent question, but it wasn't. It was loaded. If Darry said yes, then it meant that Joe was staying with them, atleast through the full moon. If he said yes, then it meant he'd seen Joe in that half form again and no telling what would happen. But Joe was there next to the vampire, and Darry could in this cool evening air, feel the heat crawling off the wolf. The wind picked up and Joe glanced to the vampire, leaning in some. He was so close Darry could smell him and God only knows that he smelled good.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-When Joe had claimed his lips Darry’s mind had shut off. With the adrenaline of the fight rushing through his veins like a strange muddy aphrodisiac the vampire pulled down the wall for a second. He had tugged the wolf to some dark corner and for a few perfect hours neither one of them said a thing at least nothing coherent. It was perfect but nothing good ever lasts long. Not in this world anyway. When Darry had pushed up all he murmur was … -

It’s just a one time thing ya know …

-Joe had growled but shrugged a bit as if expecting it and of course he had but seeing a train coming doesn’t mean it don’t still hurt when it runs you over. The vampires had talked and it had been settled they were gonna stay for a while in the middle of this rural little town. Less people. Less temptation. The wolf stayed with them in the house but after he had laid out on the couch and fallen a sleep him and Darry hadn’t spoken. When he woke up Darry was standing in the kitchen. There were a couple of grocery bags around. He’d started up the generator for the wolf and plugged the fridge in and gone to buy him some food. It was his quiet way of saying he was sorry. He was no good with words. They made him uncomfortable. When he heard the wolf stir a bit he looked back and shrugged running his fingers through that dark hair. The cigarette dangling from his lips easily … -

I thought you might get hungry or something … and if Pony brings Possum over …

-He shrugged a bit not wanting to make a big deal out of it. The truth was Joe would feel at home in this place. It was nice. Pony and Soda were in bed together in one of the bedrooms and Pony was reading out loud. They were almost a pack even if they weren’t wolves … the question was … how would he fit in … would Darry ever get over his fucking issues? All good questions and none the brooding vampire in front of him was willing to answer. He put a couple of things on the counter ... -

I turned on the generator out back too ... so we should have water and electricity ... but I'll need some parts to fix it up good ... all I could do was a patch job really ... if we're staying here for a while might as well make it livable ...

-He said we easily but he could mean him and the vampires or him and joe and the rest of the vampires. He didn't specify. His eyes lifted a bit to see how the wolf would handle this and what he'd say. He had handled badly last night but he didn't want to lose the wol ... the thought scared him ....-

[Synistergrrl]

~Joe pushed up slowly, running a hand through his hair. He sighed softly and then looked up and over at Darry. Pushing off the sofa, the wolf moved with that feral grace to wards Darry. But instead of invading his personal space, he stopped and peaked in the bags of food.~

Cool, but we're gonna need alot more meat then this... Plus, I need to go and get the shit out of my motel room.... I uh... mean... I should shouldn't I?

~His brow arched realizing he was just assuming he was going to move in with the vampires now. It wasn't even a question apparently in the wolf's mind. He shrugged about the generator.~

I can stop at the hardware store in town if you tell me what you need while I'm picking my shit up. Darry gave him a quick list of things and then he nodded.~

kay... I'll be back in a bit...

~He turned, grabbed his keys and disappeared. He was gone for a while, longer maybe then it should have seemed he should be gone. But finally just when Darry was sure the wolf had left with his band, he'd hear the car pulling up the dirt road. Joe got out, grocery bags and bags from the hardware store in his hands. He set them down in the kitchen and then went back out, returning with a guitar case, a backpack and a duffel bag. He dropped those down as well and then went into the kitchen.~

Sooo... apparently this land belongs to the guy who owns the local bar where I was playing at. He's offered to let me stay here for free if we agree to fix it up a bit. So... I said cool, cool?

~He then went to the bags and handed the hardware ones off to Darry and then began unloading the groceries. He had some beer, which he set in the fridge and then some steak which went in the freezer. After putting it all away he turned to glance at Darry, leaning on the counter top.~

I saw Possum.. he's gonna bring Gabriel up here too... they wanna see us and it's probably better to keep Gabriel near then push him away.... that kid's trouble...

~He was skirting the issue about what had taken place between him and Darry. But he was thinkin of it, he couldn't help it. The vampire was just standing there like some fucking god waiting for Joe to make the next move. But Joe was looking just as good, leaned against a counter, a beer in one hand and that dark hair falling in pale blue eyes.~

So whatta we do, Darry, huh?

[LittleDeadGrrl]

Really? There’s like four stakes in there …. How much meat do you eat?

-Darry had almost laughed a little bit. Course he had no idea the amount of food wolves could pack away and eat. He had shrugged though and nodded easily when Joe asked the question murmuring a little “of course” as if he had assumed he’d move in as well but the truth was he was both relieved he was staying and anxious. He wasn’t sure what Joe expected and he didn’t know how much he could control himself just watching him lay on the bed, sleeping, and not doing a thing about it. He leaned back on the couch and finished the pack of smokes before Joe returned. He pushed up and looked through the bag and nodded a bit. It was all good and he almost intended to just go outside and start working on the generator but than Joe started talking … -

Cool … I can do that … used to work construction a lot back home … a while ago but I remember most of it … ‘something to do …

-He leaned on the counter. His brow arched … -

The human … I dunno … that ain’t a good idea … I guess we gotta stay on Possum’s good side tho and if he wants the kid up here …. why do you say he’s trouble?

-Darry’s brow arched. Soda had seemed a bit flustered to him but he hadn’t picked up on anything specific but subtle didn’t work for Darry anyway. He was toying with the bag full of tools and other things trying to focus on the conversation and on work. On anything but how good Joe looked and smelled and how much he wanted to make good use of that couch again. When Joe asked that loaded question Darry wasn’t sure what to say. What could he say … he sighed a bit … -

I guess … I’m gonna go work on the generator …

-Yeah he was sure taking the issue head on but part of him didn’t want to deal with it. He couldn’t. What could he say. That what had happened had been perfect and it had feel so fucking good but he couldn’t accept he liked to fuck guys as much as he liked to fuck girls. Maybe more so or better yet was he supposed to say that it had just been a one time thing. He’d already said that and Joe had looked ready to leave. Maybe if he just worked it would get better. He grabbed the bag and went outside brushing passed Joe. The moment the door opened his skin light up like fire. He slipped back in the shade slowly and moved towards the generator. He stayed out there for a while working slowly. That night Possum and Gabriel were sure to pay them a visit. That should be fun but maybe it would take both of their minds off what they were thinking. Fucking one another again …. -

[Synistergrrl]

~Joe watched Darry just out and out ignore the question and then turned and walked out. Joe gave a soft sigh and shook his head. He grabbed another beer and took a deep swig of it. He didn't follow the vampire outside right off the bat, instead he stayed inside. But finally he moved outside to lean against the shed the generator was.~

I say that kid's trouble cause I can see it in him. He was starin at Soda like he was a bar of gold or something. I don't know what he's got planned, but he's got something planned, that's for sure.

~He was staring at the vampire who by now had to have grease and oil on him. A brow arched and Joe drained the rest of his beer.~

I think it's just something we should maybe keep our eye on.

~He shrugged and then he moved in closer. He reached down and picked up the wrench Darry was going to need, holding it slightly out of reach.~

You can run off for now, Darry, but eventually, you're gonna have to face things...

~He offered the wrench to him, but when he did, he was leaning down close to the vampire. He was such a stunning thing staring down at Darry and he looked so serious, but then he smirked, letting go of the wrench.~

But right now, I'm going to give you break.... for now...

~He shrugged and then he turned and started back into the house.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Darry was bent over the generator trying to fix it up. Lucky for him the piece of shit was about as old as he was and his old man had had one of these in the back of their house. He knew the thing inside and out and that almost kinda made him smile. It was one of the reason he liked old cars. The newer ones were almost alien to him. He hated it and he wondered, should he live, how he’d feel in another 50 years. Maybe he’d kill himself by than. How could this, whatever they’d become, really be natural. He couldn’t blame how the coyotes looked at them … not that whatever they were … was all that natural either …. –

Well whatever it is … how much trouble can a human make … worst comes to worst and Soda looses control and kills him … and than we’ll have to leave … coyotes won’t tolerate us here than but plenty of space …

-He shrugged a bit not seeming to concerned but Darry was only really concerned with the big things. He’d never been on for anything too subtle. Pony saw it though and so did Soda. Possum had seen the way Pony was looking at Gabriel. It was more than jealousy and irritation. It was something else. The youngest of them watched him like a hawk cause he fucking knew he was trouble … human or not … -

Who said I was running?

-Darry’s brow arched as he looked up a bit still leaning against the generator full of grease and dirt now but it suited him somehow. Joe could never imagine this boy in a suit or even in anything too fancy. The wolf was in suddenly closer and Darry felt a hitch in his breath. He was about to say something but instead he stayed quiet and just went back to work. He was out there for another hour and finally the lights kicked on a bit brighter and even the fridge started coming to life. Darry came in wiping his brow a bit. He caught Joe in the kitchen with his back to him pouring himself a beer. He couldn’t help but just look at the wolf who made his breath catch every time. He slipped in a bit closer without making a noise. His arms wrapped around him from behind as he tugged him in closer wiping grease on him as he nipped at his throat. He sighed content kissing up slowly crushing the boy against him. His fingers toyed with his pants teasingly as he almost smirked … -

I kinda like you bent over like this …

-When Joe shifted to look at him Darry claimed his lips roughly. He couldn’t help it. Fuck he wanted this boy but than his eyes lifted and he watched Pony and Soda walking back from outside. Both wearing coats they didn’t need to just incase anyone saw them but there was no need. This how really was in the middle of nowhere … the dirt road that led up wasn’t even on the map. Darry pushed away slowly and moved towards the bathroom to clean up. He didn’t tell Joe he’d come to terms with it and the wolf almost knew he’d have a hard time fighting the vampire to just accept it but well for now these rough kisses that were like molten lava … they might be enough … -

I better go take a shower ....

[Synistergrrl]

~Joe had gone back inside with a shrug to the question Darry had asked about Gabriel and tugged out his guitar, strumming away and singing loud enough that Darry would hear him. Infact, he moved to the back porch for a while and Darry could hear him singing old Johnny Cash songs and some old Elvis. It was mostly old song just something to make Darry smile a bit. But he'd stopped when his throat started getting a bit sore, putting the guitar down and going inside to grab a beer. Did he expect the bigger vampire to come in and hug him or much less start kissing up his neck. He'd almost choked on the beer as he turned to say something, his lips were claimed in that rough kiss. It made the wolf swoon some, pressing into Darry. As Darry pulled back, Joe was licking his lips and there was a smirk there. A brow arched as he took in the greasy dirty vampire before him.~

Yeah? I'm not always so willing to bend over, Darry....

~He smirked as the vampire was pulling back, saying he was going to take a shower. Joe smirked, turning around to watch Darry.~

that an invitation, Dar?

~He purred the words as the vampire started walking up the steps, but then Pony and Soda came in and Darry was moving up the steps and Joe was laughing a little bit. He shook his head and leaned back on the counter to watch the other two. Soda looked up at the laughter, then cocked his head to look at Darry and he gave a smirk, sure that something was going on, but not sure what exactly. He grinned and moved in as Joe turned a bit, a secretive smirk on his lips.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Darry had purred when Joe had choked on his beer half laughing a bit but than they were both drowning in that kiss and it felt so good. Darry had liked listening to the old songs and he knew Joe had been playing them just for him. It had felt good. He sighed nuzzling into the wolf and than a rumbling laugh escaped him at the next words. When he left and Joe called after him he shrugged a bit … -

I didn’t know you wolves took showers … and no ... it isn't an invitation ...

-He looked back raising brow obviously teasing as he slipped into the bathroom enjoying the laugher from behind him. He knew one thing. He was gonna go out of his mind pretending he didn’t want the wolf when he’d be sleeping on their couch. Pony and Soda came in. Pony’s brow arched as the lights were turned on and the fridge was whirling away … -

Wow … what happened here? Darry got the generator working ….

-He sat up on the chair looking Joe over carefully. He really couldn’t imagine Darry fucking a boy … actually he didn’t really want to … especially Joe whom he’d begun to like … -

So … what we doing tonight?

-He looked at the guitar on the counter and smiled that dreamy little smile … -

You gonna play for us Joe?

[Synistergrrl]

~Joe had flipped Darry off but then his eyes were drawn to Pony and Soda who had come in and was leaning on the counter by Pony. Joe moved in closer to Pony, leaning into the vampire some to reach around and pick up that guitar. He flashed Pony that easy smile liking that dreamy little look the boy had.~

Maybe... if I play for you, whatcha gonna do for me?

~He let his finger tease across Pony's jawline and then pulled back with a smirk. Soda just shook his head and rolled his eyes.~

Ya know... you're laying it on a little thick there wolf...

~Joe turned on Soda then, one hand laying on the counter top by his hip and he leaned in to the wild vampire.~

Maybe you're just jealous, SodaPOP...

~Soda smirked and leaned in a bit to Joe.~

Nope..... I just know where you been layin, wolf and none of us wanna cross paths with that.

~Joe rolled his eyes and pulled back turning his attention back to Pony.~

I think he's just jealous...

~He winked at Pony and then went and dropped down on the sofa.~

I ran into Possum earlier... He knows where we are staying, so he'll probably be stopping by....

~He glanced up at Pony then and gave him a little smirk. Soda's brow arched.~

He bringing Gabriel?

~Joe shrugged.~

Nah, I don't think so. I think the kids gonna be in the hospital for a little bit.

~Soda shrugged but Joe was looking over at Pony and he nodded for the vampire to come to him, to sit with him.~

So, I figured we'd grill out when he gets here, eat and hang out. I can play, we can ya know make s'mores or some bullshit...

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Pony pulled back a bit eyes half wide squirming at the suggestion of what he might have to do and it wasn’t just that those kind of thoughts always made him squirm in embarrassment but on top of it all Joe basically belonged to Darry right now or he was all tied up and Darry and like Soda pointed out a second later. That ain’t nothing to get in between of … -

Shoot … Soda ain’t jealous of no one … he don’t have to be …

-Pony smiled that little smile of his as he looked at Soda and he really did believe it but than Joe dropped on the Soda and Pony followed easily dropping beside him. He was strumming a few chords idly reaching off but than his eyes snapped up at the mention of Possum and Soda had to see the pleased smile on his lips and know whether he liked it or not when that coyote was around he’d have to share Pony’s attention but at least Gabriel wouldn’t be there to torment him even though a small of him had to want the human there. Pony snorted a bit a the mention of Gabriel … -

Good …

-Joe had a feeling Pony liked and trusted the human about as much as he did … -

You gonna cook Joe … you like … our cook and shit now … can you be our maid too … Darry and Soda are pigs … make a mess of everything … they don’t listen to me when I say to clean up a bit …

-Pony smiled a bit teasing but he knew Soda was about to hit him. He was happy though at the moment. Joe was here whom he’d begun to like a lot cause even though he teased him a bit he was nice to him and Possum was coming and Gabriel wasn’t. He looked around the place. It was kind of a disaster so he’d have to clean up a bit … -

[Synistergrrl]

I don't.... I think Soda might have somethin to be jealous of there, Pony.

~Joe smirked a bit. And when the boy looked up with that smile, Joe caught the look in Soda's eyes. The wolf couldn't help the smirk that tugged at his lips, but Soda just gave him a sneer and shot him a bird over Pony's head before coming in and sitting down. Joe's head kicked up then and he pushed Pony.~

I'm no one's maid and yeah.. I'll cook. anything that's on the grill, but ya know, I didn't think you were gonna be eatin with us, Pony.

~Joe leaned in a bit to Pony and there was something a bit playful sexual in his tone as he brushed back some of Pony's hair.~

Course I got...

~But he didn't get it finished cause Soda hit him.~

Hey... lay off...

~Joe laughed and pulled back. He was teasing ofcourse, but he couldn't deny that he kinda liked the little vampire. The way he got all embarrassed and shit, it was cute. But he knew he could only push things so far and honestly, as much as he liked the little vampire, he knew that he didn't do for him what Darry did. Pony could never send a chill down Joe's spine the way the bigger vampire did. It wouldn't ever be that rough or demanding. And a part of the wolf knew he needed that.~

~Soda was staring at Joe, but then he leaned back, looking over at Pony and giving him a little smile. He knew that when Possum got there that he wasn't so sure he'd be this chipper. He was already feeling a bit of that green vine of jealousy grow in the pit of his stomach. But he just pushed it back telling himself it was stupid and it was simply that Pony was had always followed him around like a puppy and that's why he was feeling a bit jealous.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Pony didn’t see the look between the two he just smiled a bit staring down at the guitar strumming it a bit. That dreamy look touched his eyes. The way the hair fell across those amber eyes. He was stunning without knowing it and that almost made him more stunning … -

Bullshit … Soda’s like one of them boys from the books … he ain’t a good like Darry … or YOU … Joe … he’s special … so don’t go flapping your gums … he got nothing to be jealous of ...

-He smiled a bit and than blushed as Joe came in closer and teased him. He was squirming but than he smiled as Soda saved him. He moved and sat closer to Soda laying his head on his shoulder and stretching out a bit comfortably. He was smiling and it was the kind of smile Soda hadn’t seen in a while. Without Ace all of them could breath but especially Pony … -

So … you gonna play for us or what … I heard you singing some old songs before … you should sing ‘em again … the barbecue can wait a while right?

-For now they were all happy. A second later Darry emerged and Joe had to admit the sight kinda of stole his breath. The big rough looking vampire had only a towel wrapped around his waist. He was dripping wet with dark hair falling in those dark amber eyes. The water dripping off his chest and shoulders and he was all sinewy muscles and pale skin. A few scars marred him here and there but it only added to the effect …–

Fuck all of you talk to goddamn much … Joe play something so everyone will shut up … I’m the only one that does any work here … Soda just looks pretty and Pony reads them stupid books … I swear I’m gonna put them all in the fire when we barbecue tonight …

-Pony looked appropriately shocked and frowning nuzzling into Soda … -

Soda wouldn’t let you burn my stuff … not in a million years ….
