Three Little Words
Soren and Eli were sharing the loft together. It was Friday night, but neither of them felt like going out tonight. They rarely did. They tended to spend most of their nights in unless they had plans with friends. The winter sun was setting and mostly...
Movements on the Surface
Eli was in the loft. This was not an abnormal thing though. Painting was his job, after all. In the past three months he had two more successful auctions. He had a habit of attracting people who would start a bidding war. He pulled in enough money that...
Not Unanticipated
Soren and Eli greeted people at opposite ends of the double doors to the gallery. Eli smiled and waved, fidgeting a bit in the black suit that he hated wearing. Soren was much more relaxed on the outside, tall, sharp, and formal in his own navy...
A Bit too Much
Eli was pacing about the apartment, staring intently at his phone. It was almost 8:00, and he hadn't heard from Soren at all. Why was he this late when he got off early today? He had sent him a text at 5:30 saying he was about to leave, but now... was...
Warm Welcome part 2
Soren was worrying. This was far from abnormal though. He worried about everything. He just over thought everything. But this kind of worrying was different. The thought of meeting Eli's parents intimidated Soren, no matter how many times Eli reassured...
Warm Welcome part 1
Eli was enjoying a well deserved break. His auction last week was incredibly well received. Both Gloom and Clockworks had started a three way bidding war, going out for very large sums of money. In a way, those few days of tenseness between Soren and...
Order's Wrath
Order's WrathThe room was stiflingly warm. Soren sat between Eli and Logan in the small, under-air-conditioned office of Mr Cohen, the long time lawyer that the Sauls had worked with. Mr Cohen dressed as sharp as the blades on his wrist. He was a short...
Dark Whispers
Crisp was awake, but he was having a lie in. It was a Saturday, so why should he be up early? Cairo was up and about already. He'd probably gone down to the gym or something. Crisp wasn't sure whether his master had always been this keen on fitness or...
The Coffin: Part 2
The sound of dripping water rang around the cavern as well as the light burble of a tiny stream over rocks. There was also an ambient ringing sound that Marcus couldn't identify. _Wait... why am I hearing anything? I fell, didn't I? Why am I even...
The Forbidden Schools
The Forbidden Schools Crisp wandered the halls of the Ivory Tower he called home, re-strapping his white and red fingerless gloves as he walked. He rolled his shoulders under a white jacket with a similar red trim to his gloves. His shorts were of a...
The Coffin: Part 1
Marcus sighed. Here he was... it was known only as The Coffin. Well, it was a coffin. Who knows how many adventurers had made this forsaken pit their final resting place? The wolf sat shirtless in front of his small bonfire, brooding into the tongues...
Stockings
Sun fell down on Soren's face. Slowly, he opened his eyes. Eli was in his arms, still asleep. It was probably the best way to wake up. Soren closed his eyes again, feeling Eli's chest rising and falling against his as he breathed in... out... in......
