Frisky Foxes

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Devin spent the night wrapped up with Nikita but the fox got little rest. The sinking feeling he didn't deserve the wolf was ingrained in his mind. When morning came to the two were sitting out in the small garden having breakfast. Nikita was smiling a bit for the first time in a while. He seemed to feel safe with so much of his family near by, safe from vampires, and it seemed to take a bit of the weight off. He was going to be spending the day with the elders and he'd just finished saying that when Nyx dropped down at the table uninvited with his food picking at the noodles easily ... -

Sleep well?

-Nikita smiled at the stunning fox ... -

Quiet well and why don't you join us Nyx ..

-The fox laughed a bit easily and good naturedly ... -

Oh don't be so fussy Nikita ... I'll be out of your hair ... I've got an errand to run in the centre ...

-Nikita glanced at Devin .. -

Take Devin with you. Show him the city ... the good parts Nyx ... I'd consider it a favor if you took care of him while I'm with the elders ...

-Nyx arched a brow at the mention of favor but smiled easily gazing at Devin...-

Watchasay wolf ... ready to tag along with me today? Unless you're scared ...

~Devin sighed and nodded.~

So... are they going to....

~But he didn't get to finish the question for Nyx dropped down at their table. Devin frowned a bit when Niki suggested Nyx take him with and show him the city. It wasn't really what he wanted to do. Infact, he really just wanted to get the foxes to help and then leave. Something about this place did things strange things to him. But the fox was taunting him and Devin couldn't help the smirk as he shrugged as if he couldn't be bothered with such things.~

What would make you think I'm scared, Fox?

~But the smile faded a bit as he looked back to Niki, his hand finding the fragile fox's.~

Are you sure, Nik... I can stay here... really...

~And he meant it which just drove home how much he worried about the fox. It wasn't that he was trying to be mean or that he even felt that obligated to take care of Niki. But it would prove Niki's point to himself. He was broken and Devin was worrying way to much about him. But Devin had no idea that Niki was even thinking that, worrying about that. If he had, well the wolf would be worrying about reassuring the fox otherwise. But for now, he just wanted to make sure that Niki was okay, that the foxes were wanting to help and that they'd be leaving soon to get back to their pack.~

~When Niki reassured Devin it was fine and they finished breakfast, Devin stood and went with Nyx, but not before tugging Niki in closer and claiming his lips roughly. It might cause a bit of a stir amongst the others in Niki's family, but Devin didn't care, he honestly wanted them all to know how much he loved this fox. But then he was tugged off and was on the street with Nyx.~

So... where are we going and what are we doing?

-Nikita saw that fear and worry and it was like a slap in the face. He almost wanted to push Devin away from him, to tell him to go save himself, but he knew the wolf wouldn’t so he hoped maybe slowly he could attach him to Nyx. It wasn’t what he wanted, he loved the wolf, beyond measure, and that was why it was killing him to see him so upset. Nyx grinned a bit at Devin … but it was Nikita that answered nodding quickly …-

Yeah of course … go see the city … we won’t be here long …

-He motioned for him to go smiling faintly but it was fake. He didn’t want Devin to go, he wanted him to stay, but that was part of the problem. He’d asked too much and the wolf just gave and gave. The kiss left him breathless but he sighed into it almost content but there was a sadness to it. Nyx pushed up and tugged the wolf along the street flagging down a cab as they got in going into the city … -

You’re not gonna start asking “are we there yet” are you?

-Nyx teased the wolf but he held up a little black book-

Just dropping off a package to a client; after that I’ll take you wherever you want to go.

-He looked at the stunning wolf for a moment pushing him a bit-

Smile wolf … or do I have to get you drunk again?

-He teased a bit smiling but in the life of the day the fox was stunning and calm and the smile and laugh were infectious and hard to resist-

[Synistergrrl]

A package? Are we doing a drug deal? I've seen movies... ya know... I've no interest in being arrested here and locked up in some backwards prison.

~Devin teased the fox a bit and when Nyx demanded a smile, Devin just pushed the fox a bit.~

Say something funny and I'll be happy to smile. You're not really that funny, though I think you think you are. I don't know who is filling your head with such bullshit.

~But there was a slow smile that taunted his lips as he called the fox out a bit. He leaned back in the cab, looking the fox over. He was pretty, stunning actually with that easy smile. He wondered again if Niki had been like this before Jean Luc. God he wanted to kill Jean Luc. For hurting Niki, for taking Finn, for making Em and Jules turn Finn, all of the shit that vampire had done to his family. He deserved nothing less than death. Devin honestly didn't care who did it, as long as it was done.~

Well... considering I know shit about this city, I think it'd be better you decide where we are going... though I think I'm gonna regret those words.

~He taunted the fox a bit with those words. But even as he teased and flirted with Nyx, he still was thinking about Niki, still worried about him. It was hard to let that go. Hell, he was thinking about Finn and Jules and even Ciaran. Nothing was going well for them. And the betrayal of Tanya and the rest of the Denali, that was hard to deal with as well. The smile had sort of slipped from his lips the more he thought about it, staring out into the streets. Finally he looked back over at Nyx and forced a smile. It was easier to let all that go with Nyx sitting beside him, looking so pretty and charming. He leaned in a bit to the fox.~

So, you use that pretty little head of yours and find something for us to do.

[LittleDeadGrrl]

Drugs? Please … any two bit human can deliver drugs …

-The fox snorted looking almost offended before he smirked faintly … -

Besides I’d never let you get imprisoned … pretty as you are you’d get passed around like a pack of smokes …

-Nyx laughed when he was called out for not being funny before shrugging. He saw the smile and it was all that mattered. He wanted to make the wolf happy, he didn’t know why, but he did. He also had a feeling Nikita wanted him to keep the wolf occupied, he didn’t know why exactly, but a favor was a favor and he didn’t mind doing it with such a cute wolf. He led the wolf into the middle of the city which was all high rises. Singapore was a major financial district. The fox tapped the driver on the shoulder motioning for him to stop when they got to the place he needed. It was clearly some kind of office building and it was clear only the wealthy were a clientele by the looks. Nyx got out gripping an envelop in his hand as he moved up the steps tugging Devin along. Neither looked dressed properly for this place and it showed in the looks but Nyx smiled at the secretary and leaned in speaking in Chinese fluently. She picked up the phone before staring back with distaste-

I doubt Mr.Hu has an appointment with you …

-Nyx smiled and leaned over the desk pressing the button to open the door-

Oh but he does …

-He walked right up the door despite her protests. By the time they opened the officer’s door there was guards shouting for him to stop. It wasn’t until the fat business saw Nyx before he paled and spoke quickly. The guards left closing the doors as the man bowed his head-

My apologies … I had thought … our meeting was tonight …

-Nyx moved and sat on the desk tapping the envelop in his hand … -

I’ve got the information your requested …

-He held it out to the greedy banker before tugging it back just out of reach … -

However, I’ve just decided the price doubled. -Mr.Hu got up blanching … -

What?! You can’t … -Nyx leaned in, his eyes flashing the golden color of the eyes of a fox … -

I can. One of your associates left a girl working for us badly beaten last night. He felt so bad about it he hung himself this morning … but the fact it wasn’t YOU who hung him shows us you have no respect for our establishments. You and your bank exist on our whim only … you can be replaced at any time … and unless you want to wake up one morning with a similar sudden tragic desire as your associate I suggest you take a good look at who works for you and be sure they understand common rules of courtesy …

-The human nodded quickly as he moved to his safe, hands shaking, handing the money quickly. Nyx smiled cheerfully … -

Thank you … have a good morning …

-He tugged Devin along leaving the place as he counted the cash before tucking it carefully in the inside pocket. He glanced at the wolf … -

Well now we got some extra cash to blow … we can go to the market … it’s Saturday and everyone is selling fucking everything … you gotta see it … I’ll buy you something pretty if you’re real nice to me …

-Nyx ruffled the wolf’s hair before kissing him on the cheek teasingly as he walked off leaving him to catch up … -

Nice to know you think I'm pretty...

~Devin smirked and then he leaned in.~

I can handle myself, little fox... you want me to prove it?

~It was a tease. But then the cab stopped and they got out and went into the building. Devin's eyes were dancing around the building as Nyx drug him along. Finally they were up in the office and Devin just watched as Nyx took control. It was on some level like being in a movie. The way Nyx just walked into the guys office and sat on his desk like it were nothing. It was funny too, as the little fox managed to make the human shiver and quake. When the guy gave Nyx the cash and the fox turned back into that easy going happy creature, it made Devin laugh. And then they were leaving. Outside as Nyx started talking, Devin reached out and clamped a hand over the chattery fox's mouth.~

What... was.... that? Just shut up for a moment and let me digest what just took place. Who in the hell are you? That... up there...

~He pointed up~

That was not this...

~And then he pointed to the boy infront of him. He was laughing as he said all that. And then he pushed Nyx playfully.~

Alright, come one and take me to this market and I'll let you buy me something...cause apparently, you can afford it.

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Nyx was about to speak when a hand was over his mouth … -

I’m the fucking godfather…

-Nyx smirked but he leaned in and wrapped his arms around the wolf’s neck tugging him in a bit closer as he looked up batting those eyelashes … -

You play your cards right and you could be my trophy wife …

-He laughed before he pulled back and tugged the wolf along easily. He flagged down a cab and took him to one of the special markets. The floating market, called because it was not exactly legal, or human, and it moved every week. They got out of the cab into one of the seedier parts of the town and the fox smirked up at the wolf … -

Alright try not to piss anything off in there … and you’ll see what I mean …

-He teased the wolf before tugging him into the suspiciously simple looking warehouse. Inside it was a madhouse. Stalls popping out from everywhere, selling everything, the walls decorate in bright beautiful canvasses but what was most interesting was that Devin was hit with every smell imaginable. Smells of other shifters. Lots of them. All of them were showing off some animalistic feature to tell what they were, pretty girls with fox ears, and long lion tails swishing back and forth and bigger men that moved slowly and grumbled and growled like bears. There were creatures the wolf had not encountered yet. Nyx leaned in whispering softly, looping his arm through Devin’s as he leaned in-

A shapeshifter’s market … you can find amazing things. Things from all corners of the world.

-He led the wolf along looking at the pretty wares. Beautiful scarves and jewelry and knives and anything you could want. The weapons were of course the most amusing, most of them clearly meant for killing specific creatures, even silver. As you went in deeper there were more and more unsavory goods, and even a few selling themselves, for sex or as killers for hire-

[Synistergrrl]

Apparently that's exactly what you are, Marlon Fucking Brando...

~Devin let his hand fall to the fox's hip easily, laughing at the idea that he'd be some trophy wife. And honestly there was a time, he'd not really have minded that. They got in the car and then they were in some seedy part of town. Devin was staring around, again lost in the whole place. The smells and sights were wild, and as he moved through the stalls, stopping here and there and staring at the different creatures. The wolf in him bristled a bit, knowing full well that he was a bit like a mouse in a cage with all these other shifters around. The truth was, as they walked, there were those that stared at him with intense hate. But Devin managed to keep his chin up and push the wolf down, forcing it to obey him.~

I never... I had no clue that anything like this existed.

~His voice was full of amazed wonder. Sometimes his fingers drifted over this or that, but for the most part he stayed close to Nyx, weaving in and out of stalls and isles. For a long moment he was just open mouthed and quiet. But then he moved in next to Nyx.~

You've lived your life like this? I mean... Niki has said here and there that the foxes have different rules and roles. He's eluded to some of it , but not all of this. But this is normal to you?

~He meant the brothels, the violence, the underhandedness of it all. In some ways, Devin suddenly felt like a puppy all over again. Even though they'd seen darkness, this was a different seedier level of darkness that Devin had never been face to face with.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Nyx kept the wolf close to him relaxing visibly. Devin had his arm around his hip and the fox had his wrapped around his waist staring at all the pretty new things brought from all over the world. They looked like a couple and for a moment Devin could forget all about the problems back home. It was too amazing to think of anything but what he was looking at. Nyx nodded slowly speaking quietly … -

The wolves got segregated because of the vampires … some of them still hold grudges against your kind … the vampires used them as hunting dogs and wolves are still amongst the strongest of us … especially in a pack …

-Nyx spoke softly as he stopped at one stand letting his fingers toy with one of the silk scarves … -

… and after the bond was broken between the wolves and vampires … well wolves went underground. Vampires, as old and smart as they are, have their head pretty far up their own assess. The Volturi like to say they rule the world but they are barely holding in charge of their few domains in Europe. The rest of the world … different story …

-The fox flashed a little smirk … he arched a brow at the next part-

I’d have thought he’d have told you all about this …

-Nyx shrugged a bit nodding slowly-

This is our world, it’s dangerous, and I don’t have the luxury of shifting into some big killing machine …

-He smirked leaning on Devin as if he was some big muscle builder … -

So we gotta be smart and fast. It all depends on what you’re good at … Nikita was protected a great deal ... he was beautiful and charming and everyone loved him ... me I'm better at talking my way out of bad spots so that's what I do ... the elders just wanna make sure we survive ... we're sneaky and clever but we're not the toughest ....

-He spoke only briefly about Niki but the wolf had a feeling Niki had been protected a bit, maybe that's why the shock had been so great for him, and why he was taking so long to recover. Maybe he never would. He looked up at the wolf tugging him along. He stopped at one place and picked up a stunning bracelet, leather and intricate wrapping it around the wolf’s wrist-

I think this suits you …

[Synistergrrl]

~As Nyx told him a bit of the real history of things, he just listened, his eyes playing over Nyx. The fox was so forthcoming. And he had this constant smile and flash in his eyes that made Devin relax for a moment and forget his problems.~

No, he hasn't really told me that much. But I've not asked, to be honest. It's not for not wanting to know, it's just I didn't want to pressure him... He's been through a lot of shit...we both have been. It's hard for either of us to trust.

~He stopped and looked at the cuff his eyes cutting to Nyx.~

You think?

~Looking back at the cuff, his fingers dancing across it.~

And you weren't protected like Niki?

~The wolf cocked his head before he looked back at Nyx to watch his reaction to that question. He wanted to know more about Niki and Nyx, their lives before all this.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Nyx nodded slowly as he spoke about Nikita. The more he spoke the more Nyx was beginning to think Nikita would not be leaving this place. He had a feeling the elders would want to keep him, to protect him, and heal him. He wondered if the wolf would stay or even if he’d be welcome. He smirked as he fixed it on staring up at the wolf … -

Yeah … I do …

-This close the sparks between them could be felt. He moved in a bit closer but he was staring down at the cuff letting his fingers toy across it a bit … -

Being protected wouldn’t have helped me … my role in society … it helped Nikita. He was bitten by one of the elders … he’s very much loved by them … and they’re happy he is home …

-Nyx lay the bread crumbs quietly. He wondered if Devin understood or not but he was beginning to see Nikita wanted to stay too. He knew the jealous fox would never have sent the wolf with him if he wasn’t contemplating something. The fox smiled as he brushed passed the wolf teasingly paying the vendor before he looped one arm around his own tugging him along … -

So what about you wolf … tell me more about your life.

[Synistergrrl]

~The sparks were flying between Devin and Nyx. He felt it, landing on his skin and he wanted to grab the little fox and own him right there in the middle of the market. Or more to the point, the wolf wanted too. But Devin just smiled, his mind flickering back to Niki as Nyx spoke about him.~

So he's a favorite? And you weren't? That's sort of surprising. You all act like each one of you is a special little snow flake.

~His words were teasing though. But the truth was some of those breadcrumbs were being picked up by the wolf. He was frowning a little bit but then the fox was paying for the cuff and smiling and tugging him along.~

Me? Whatcha wanna know?

~He smiled a bit and leaned in.~

I'm an open book...

~His eyes flashed to a big rough looking creature that walked passed, bumping into Devin roughly.~

excuse me...

~But the creature, who Nyx would recognize as a hyena turned with a snarl.~

You aren't excused, flea bag....

~It was biting words. Devin pulled back and the wolf's eyes narrowed.~

What?

~Devin took a step in towards the creature. Ofcourse those around were watching, some already starting to take bets on who was going to win this.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

We ARE special snowflakes … asshole …

-The fox spat the words out at him with a smile leaning in a bit as he said those words. He shrugged at the first question smiling a little bit. He had to admit he liked the wolf, a lot, and all he could think about was the one kiss they'd shared. He wanted more and he wanted to erase Nikita's image from his mind ... -

I don’t know … tell me about what your life was like before becoming a wolf … you said you didn’t know about this world before being bitten right …

-He was about to continue when Devin was bumped into by the hyena. The fox frowned sensing trouble as he pushed in between the two … -

You KNOW the truce hyena … no fighting in the market

-His eyes never left Devin’s … -

Truce is inside the market … not outside … let’s go fleabag … unless you afraid …

-Nyx rolled his eyes a bit … -

Ignore him Devin. They aren’t known for their brains sadly …

-The hyena laughed a bit with the other two that were walking with him … -

A little fox protecting a wolf … now I seen it all …

-Devin had to know he was being baited and it’d be stupid to go out but the wolf in him was growling and prowling inside of him begging to be set free to teach the other a lesson. Just go out and tear him a new one and show him he was the biggest wolf around and not to be messed with … -

[Synistergrrl]

~Devon's eyes had narrowed but Nyx was infront of him. He wasn't really looking at the fox though. His eyes were on the Hyena. But his eyes flickered down to the fox for a moment. For a moment it seemed Devin might actually do as the fox said but he just brushed his hand across Nyx's cheek and stepped around him.~

Just you and me.... Come on then...lead the way.

~The Hyena smirked and turned heading out of the market. As they moved, a crowd started to follow. There were those that just wanted to see a fight and there were those that wanted to see the wolf get his ass kicked. There were more of the later. But Devin didn't seem to care, even as the crowd started making loud bets about the Hyena winning and just how that was going to happen.~

~As Devin stepped out of the market into the bright sun light, he was taken back as the Hyena came right for him. Devin danced back quickly, almost tripping over the others behind him. The wolf darted under the Hyena and backed away from the creature. The Hyena snapped his teeth as Devin, shifting some, his claws and fangs growing. Devin growled, his head dipped down.~

Gotta shift to kick my ass, fleabag? Are you scared?

~The Hyena growled, throwing a punch at the wolf. Devin backed up again, dodging under the punch, and jabbing the Hyena in the ribs causing the hyena to suck wind. The crowd was growing around them and yelling and roaring for the fight to continue, for the hyena to beat the fuck out of this wolf.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

Devin… come on …

-Nyx followed behind rolling his eyes as he sighed a bit. He was nervous the wolf would get hurt and then he’d have A LOT to explain. He watched the wolf fighting and he had to admit he looked good, fierce, and he knew the wolf was going to win. He moved in towards the Hyenas standing next to them with his arms crossed smiling … -

Doesn’t seem to be going good for you …

-He almost purred feeling them growl and lean down into him but the fox smiled sweetly-

I bet you one owed favor for one owed favor my wolf leaves your hyena limping …

-The others growled and pushed the fox a bit but took the bait. He watched the fight cheering the wolf on easily until the fight was over. He was waiting for him to win and for him to be owed a favor by the hyenas. He was also watching carefully to make sure none of them cheated because it was more than likely. He knew how shifters worked and especially these ones. When it was over the wolf had won but he was a bit bloody for it. The fox smirked at the hyenas … -

You’ll get my call …

-He teased as he moved into wolf slipping in closer as he wiped a bit of the blood from the wolf's cheek before leaning in and licking off a few drops near his lips leaning into the wolf. He draped his arms around his neck ... -

You're such an idiot ... you took the bait ... you know what would have happened to me if you'd gotten hurt?
