New York is my kinda town

[Synistergrrl]

~Miko stood near a cliff that dropped off the side of the mountain, down a good 50 feet or more. It was the only place he got decent reception and so he came there and was staring out over the landscape.~

West Virginia... don't ask... you'll only laugh...

~He was smiling, toying with his blond hair before he sighed.~

Stop... now you called for a reason...

~He straightened, the kitten turning into the cat. He was listening though and nodding as if the person on the other end could see him.~

No... no... I hear you. I will go to New York tomorrow.

~He hung up the phone and then sighed. For a moment he was just quiet and then he turned and went back to the camp. Slipping back in, the cat watched for a moment the motley group. He smiled some but then crept in to drop down by Declan. He leaned into the wolf, resting his head against his shoulder. He liked how the wolf made him feel safe. He spoke softly though.~

We need to talk...

~When Declan would look at him. Miko pushed up and nodded for him to follow. He led the wolf away from the others and once they were in the woods, he stopped and leaned up against a tree. He was holding the phone in his hand and he lifted it a bit.~

I got a message today, from my mentor... I called him... he needs me to go to New York tomorrow... We knew that at some point this was going to happen... so... are you going with me?

~He waited for Declan to say yes or no. It luckily wasn't anything overly strange or sexual. He didn't have to seduce anyone. He simply had to go and check in with some things. ~

I have to check in with an old vampire friend of mine. He's... well, he doesn't want strings, but he likes to think that when I'm there, I'm his. We don't have to stay with him or anything like that... but... he'll put on airs with you there. Make it a point to let you know how well he knows me.

~He was looking up at Declan, quietly waiting for the wolf to say no, that he couldn't go, that he belonged there. This was sort of a test. It wasn't just that. Apparently the vampire had gotten some word about another in Europe doing some searching. Miko knew that it could be Jean Luc. And he needed to find out just how far the vampire was reaching and looking for the ones that got away.~

-Declan arched a brow when he heard those words. Nothing good ever followed those words. He was about to respond but the cat sauntered off. He moved slowly back into the woods following the cat willingly. He smirked pinning the cat in a bit as he stared down arching a brow. He leaned in kissing up his neck slowly ... -

What makes you think I'd let you go alone?

-It was possessive and there was his response. The wolf was coming along. He arched a brow at those next words and the low grumbling dangerous growl stirred in his throat ... -

... and I'm ... not supposed to crush his throat when he does that correct?

-He teased the cat but he knew it wasn't far from the truth of what he'd want to do if anyone wanted to touch the cat. He couldn't help it. The wolf had claimed the cat for his own and he'd be hard pressed to let him go. He reached out wrapping his arms around his waist ... -

I'll have to tell my brother ... and let him break it to my alpha ...

-He let his fingers play through that soft blond hair enjoying the feel against his palm. He felt the warmth of being next to the cat wash over him and more to the point the excitement of getting out of these woods if only for a little bit. He smirked laughing a bit ...-

So you think I'll embarrass you in the big city ...

[Synistergrrl]

~Miko stared up at Declan, a smile toying at his lips the moment he said he was going to come. But then the rest and Miko's smile fell. He wrapped an arm around Declan's neck and pulled him closer.~

you promised, Declan... you can't get upset... You'll ruin that relationship and I can't do that... it's a job... that's all...

~He looked worried and sad. It was his big fear, why he'd not wanted to get close to the wolf. He couldn't describe the magnetic feelings he had towards this boy, the way he was drawn to him and wanted to just roll over and purr for him. But he also knew that he had a job to do. It was part of who he was and Declan could be a very big kink in that plan.~

You tell Colt whatever you need to tell him. But we need to leave tomorrow, after breakfast.... I need to speak to Em about it. We won't be gone very long, just a few days max.

~Miko laughed though and shook his head, draping his other arm around the wolf.~

No... but I have a feeling my friends are going to eat you up. They'll love the accent... Oh... I need to call my roommate to let him know I'm coming...

~He purred a little bit, his fingers toying through the wolf's hair.~

I really am happy you are coming with me. But you have to behave, D... I mean it.

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Declan frowned looking at how upset the cat looked. He sighed as he brushed the hair from his face pushing his chin up a little bit ... -

I'll behave ...

-He tugged Miko in a bit closer ... -

Stop worrying so much ... do you have so little faith in me ...

-He growled at the last bit ... -

I don't have a fucking accent ...

-The purr made him happy. He wrapped his arms around the cat's waist tugging him in closer claiming his lips before they returned back with the others. Ren was growling for some of the wolves to come along if they wanted to do a patrol with him. The alpha was shifting and Declan nudged Miko a bit to drag him along on the Run-

Come on ... enjoy fresh air while we can ...

-He loved this place, he wanted to leave though, to explore, but deep down he knew this was his home and he belonged out in the woods, the country, not the city-

[Synistergrrl]

D....

~Miko smiled and then wrapped his other arm around the wolf.~

it's not about not having faith in you....

~He purred into his ear and then he pulled back and there was a soft, sad smile on those full lips.~

I don't want to hurt you... at all... and I'd not want something to happen that would cause you to look at me differently then you do now.

~The funny thing was, the cat meant those words. He honestly didn't want to see Declan hurt. And he certainly didn't want to be the cause of that pain. And worse still, he didn't want Declan to start resenting him for just having to do a job. ~

And yes... you do... it's cute though...

~Miko was all pressing into D, his arms around his neck, toying with his hair and then that kiss and the cat melted against the wolf, moaning into that kiss and wanting more. He hated that he was falling for Declan, and yet he already knew that even in this short time, he was falling in love with the wolf and it scared the hell out of him.~

I'd like to enjoy a long hot bath in a jacuzzi tub and then a massage followed by lobster for dinner and a nice chilled bottle of white wine...

~He'd been tugged back to the camp and now the wolves were shifting. He rolled his eyes.~

When we get to New York, I'm going to show you want my world is all about....

~He teased the wolf, but he didn't shift.~

Go ahead wolf... you'll need to get this clean air now... you won't have it tomorrow afternoon... I need to set some things up... go on..... I'll be here when you get back.

~He did need to make some calls and he wanted to talk to the little fox too before he left.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Declan shook his head slowly ... -

You worry too much ...

-He shrugged easily as if he wasn't worried anything would change between them. He snorted when his accent was called cute and then he tugged him in closer claiming those lips. He grinned slowly ... -

I'll be enjoying the jacuzzi ... and a message by you ... and you hand feeding me lobster ... damn I may like the city after all ...

-He pulled back before Miko could hit him. He was tugging off his clothes as he shifted enjoying the feel of putting on his fur before taking off running. He slammed into his cousin before moving as the wolves took off in the run. Ren wanted to make sure the territory was safe and no one was moving in, that no one had been too close, but it was away to bond as well. It was night by the time he returned. He moved to pack knowing in a few hours they'd be gone. He'd never been out of these woods. Not far. He wasn't stupid. This was a terrible test for him and Miko. He might not fit in his world and then where would they be. He wondered if the gap between them was too far to bridge ... -
