Skylar x Josh/ Celine and Damian Showing 401-450 of 2,255

[Celine☆]

"I just..." Josh swallowed painfully, as if the words physically stung him. "Skylar, when you were still a vampire," he began tediously. "I didn't complain when you drank bl...lood at breakfast. You drank it because you h-had too. I can't eat at breakfast be...because I'm a werewolf and that's how I o-perate. It something I can't ch-change." His voice broke a little at the end and he gulped hard.

[Celine☆]

Josh just stared at him, his brown eyes filled with hurt. His hands stopped, but were clenched together tightly as if he was trying not to twist them. He took a breath and let it out slowly. It was really a small thing that Skylar had been upset about, but it was his words that had hurt Josh more than anything.

[Celine☆]

Josh swallowed and he tore his gaze away. "It..." He put his arms around his waist and pulled him closer. "It's okay... You really s-sounded like you meant it though..." He buried his face into Skylar's shoulder.

[Celine☆]

Josh nodded and swallowed hard again at the lump in his throat. It hurt him so bad how Skylar had spoken to him... It made him feel worthless and nothing but a freakish burden on his partner. "Okay," he breathed, mumbling into his shirt. "I trust you. I just... You promise none of that was tr-rue?"

[Celine☆]

((Oh, this is gonna be interesting...))

Josh's hold around him tightened. "I... I love..." He began, but then trailed off into silence. Then his arms slipped and he let go totally, taking a shadow of a step back. There was a hot feeling crawling along his shoulders, searing his neck like a poison. The anger was strong enough to make him draw his hands back and curl them into themselves. He took a deep breath and ground his teeth. "Skylar, you're full of shit." The words came out in a low voice similar to a growl.

[Celine☆]

"You damn well heard me." One thing about Josh when he's angry; his stutter disappears entirely. "You're full, of shit Skylar." He met his gaze and gave him a glare that would raise hairs. It was what was left of the wolf inside him, a look so feral and threatening only someone like him could pull it off so well. He hadn't given Skylar a look like that since he had eaten Mallory. "Don't lie to me. You don't care."

[Celine☆]

"You just put up with me!" Josh nearly barked the words, taking a larger step back. "I'm NOT your fricking housewife! I can't work because I can't stay HUMAN long enough to do a full day! You think I'm weak and worthless, Skylar. I'm not stupid."

[Celine☆]

((Sure... I'm trying to think of what that may be...))

[Celine☆]

"I say it because it's true!" Josh burned inside. He was so pissed off, but why was evading him. "I don't even know what to DO around you. You're dead, Skylar. LITERALLY DEAD. I touch you and you're cold! You drink blood. You bloody murdered my COUSIN. You're the reason I'm alone in this world! I'm only with you because you took the only other person who EVER cared about me - AWAY. I have nowhere else to go!" His voice was strained with a passion be didn't even know he had. It was coming from nowhere, these thoughts and feelings... He just needed them to go away... He needed to yell. Somehow it was all Skylar's fault. "You're just a creature, a monster. No better than me. It's no wonder they had vampire hunts when you were little." There. It was out, and suddenly the anger was gone.

[Celine☆]

The red disappeared from his vision and Josh's hand slowly relaxed. The strength of the anger nearly left him reeling at it's sudden vacancy, dazed as he struggled to remember what he had said. He didn't need to know what he had said; he knew it was bad and he didn't mean a word of it. He turned and left the room, catching up to Skylar quickly. "Sky, Sk-kylar," he reached out and gently grabbed his hand. "Please st...op..."

[Celine☆]

"Sky I'm sorry, I didn't... I d-didn't mean that..." Josh didn't know what to do. He wanted to follow him, make him understand, but he was almost afraid he would make it worse that way. "Please..."

Darren felt kind of lonely now. He could hear his uncle arguing with Skylar, and just wanted them to stop. It just made him think of things he didn't want to, things he was trying to forget. He sat in the adjacent room, knees hugged up tonhis chest on the chair. He was watching the whimpering puppy, who even seemed upset at the fighting.

[Celine☆]

"I..." He stared at him, voice barely above a whisper. "I s-said that?" Josh's expression fell even more, if possible, and a brick of guilt slid back into his place in his chest. As one of his many nervous twitches, his hands began to tremble. "Oh, no... Sky... No I didn't... I didn't know what I was s-saying, I swear. You kn-know I don't mean that..." He tried to reach up and wipe the tears from Skylar's face, his fingers shaking on his skin. "Please..."

[Celine☆]

Josh stood there, his hands trembling until he locked them together as tight as possible. Best to let him be for a while, he reasoned. Then he would go talk to him. Josh leaned against the wall and then slid down until he was sitting at it's base, legs bent and compressed up to his chest. He put his head down onto his knees and took a shakey breath. How could he have said such a thing? How did he even concieve the thought? This confusing guilt burned on him harder than the rage had, made him afraid Skylar might... He wouldn't leave him, would he?

[Celine☆]

Josh swallowed hard and took a deep breath before getting up. The thought of Skylar believing his unwarrented words for another moment was unbearable. On his way out, drying the tears from his face, he grabbed a peach from the counter.

Out in the courtyard, it took him a moment to find Skylar. When he did find him, curled up against the wall, Josh used what was left of his uncanny quietness to walk up silently behind him. He could tell he was crying by the way his back shuddered. God he felt terrible. He had never regretted anything more than this - ever. Not ever. He sat down beside him carefully, keeping a little distance between them chastly. Without saying anything, he handed Skylar the fruit, putting it gently in his lap.

[Celine☆]

Josh didn't smile back. He couldn't bring himself too. He folded his knees so he was sitting crosslegged, as usual. Gently, he reached out and put a hand on Skylar's back, saying, "Sky I'm so sorry." His voice was laced with regret, and to look at him it was obvious. "I promise you I don't f-feel that way... I don't... I don't know why I s-said that... You know I don't think like that, d-don't you?" He asked, eyes searching what he could see of his face.

[Celine☆]

"I..." Josh thought about it. Why had he said it? "I don't know. It's... It's like I didn't even know what I was saying... I was j-just s-so an...angry... I don't know why. You didn't d-do anything wrong..." Finally, like he had been dying to, Josh reached out and wrapped Skylar into a hug. "You know if I could go b-back in time to help you I w-would. I would kill myself if I thought it would change what h-happened..."

[Celine☆]

"I p-promise." Josh nodded and pushed his face into Skylar's shoulder. "And if I do, know that it's n-not me talking." He hugged him tightly for a long moment, and then let go all together. "Wedding's still on?" He asked after a long moment of silence on his part, worried brown eyes flickering over Skylar's face.

[Celine☆]

Josh smiled back in relief and gave him a kiss. "Doesn't g-get much better than you, does it?" He said, getting to his feet and reaching down to help Skylar up.

[Celine☆]

Josh shook his head and took a deep breath against him, just to feel how close he was. "No." He said quietly. "I won't... Unless a sexier v-vampire comes along."

[Celine☆]

Josh had never been happier to see that cocky-ass smile on his finacée's face. "Oh I dunno..." He said teasingly. "Remember Mark? He was p-pretty damn hot..." Of COURSE he was kidding. He honestly believed it got no sexier than Skylar.

[Celine☆]

Josh responded immediately. He took Skylar's face in both his hands and dragged him close as possible into the kiss. "I was kidding... You're the best..."

[Celine☆]

Josh smirked and moved his hands down to his waist. "How do I live with you..."

[Celine☆]

"No... That's not it..." Josh smirked as he hugged him in return and gave him an eskimo kiss.

[Celine☆]

Josh let out a breath and rested his forehead against Skylar's. "Oh hun I t-try..." He murmured quietly. "I just have no appetite in the m-morning... Would it be better if we just st...stopped buying me b-breakfast?"

[Celine☆]

Josh brought his face back and looked at him before breaking into a crooked smile. "N-Now that you mention it," he said. "That might w-work."

[Celine☆]

"Don't even try m-matching me in the puppy dog stare." Josh smirked and kissed him. "You can't beat a dog in his own g-game... Although that is pretty damn c...cute." He kissed him again, harder this time. "And sure... We'll ex...experim-ment."

((I know. :P I'm have it open in another tab and I'm working on it slowly. Lol))

[Celine☆]

Josh glanced around and shrugged. "S'long as we don't do it by the w-window." He really didn't want Darren seeing that...

[Celine☆]

Josh smirked and shrugged, nodding. "Yeah I know... I just k-kinda hoped it would be later on, you kn-know?"

[Celine☆]

Josh smiled and played with him, moving his hands down to his hips and pulling him closer. "Puppy..." He murmured against his lips. "I'm a wolf."

[Celine☆]

Josh gave small laugh and undid Skylar's buckle. "I don't know if frisky will c-cut it..."

((...))

[Celine☆]

Josh rolled over on the grass and reached for his shirt laying a few feet away, grinning happily. "Well I feel b-better..."

[Celine☆]

Josh nodded slowly. "Yeah, yeah I th-think so..." He got up, doing up his jeans, and gave him a light kiss.

[Celine☆]

Josh followed Skylar in, looking at the set up with raised eyebrows. "When'd you put this up?" He asked, actually not entirely repelled by the smell of food this time aound.

Darren had disappeared, hiding away by himself as he assumed the two were both still arguing.

[Celine☆]

Josh just nodded and smiled, kissing him quickly before turning and leaving him. He wandered around the house for a long time, searching. "Darren?" He called, frowning as he couldn't find his nephew. "D-Darren? Where are y-you?"

Darren took a deep breath and hesitated. He didn't want to come out... Not yet...

[Celine☆]

((Oh and btw, I won't be on for a day or so. I'm going to be at my grandparents with my family.))

[Celine☆]

((... My grandpa has cancer and it's a family get together. I'm there to help my grandmother clean her house... Sorry... ))

[Celine☆]

((Oh good. You almost had me pissed. :-X I guess I use ':P' a little differently... lol.

I'm sorry. :( ))

[Celine☆]

(( :( I guess that's a problem I'll never have. Every time I see him I say goodbye. My aunt died suddenly like that a few years ago, but I was little so I can come close to understanding I think. ))

Josh finally found him in a curtained window seat. Apparently Darren liked it there, since he had hardly moved all day. "Darren?"

His nephew glanced up at him briefly before looking back out at the garden beyond the glass. "What?" He asked quietly. "C-Come out please and eat something." The boy shook his head and hugged his knees a little tighter. "No. I'm not hungry." Of course it was a lie. Josh knew he was hungry. "C'mon." He pushed the curtains back. Darren sighed, exasperated. "No."

Josh grew frustrated and he began walking away. "Darren COME." He commanded, and Darren climbed out to follow him like a dog obeying it's master. He took his nephew back to the dining room, trusting the smell of food to knock some senses into him.

[Celine☆]

((Yep. Just depends who initializes it. ;) ))

Josh smiled back at him and nodded, studying the black and brown plate with more appetite than previously thought. "Th-Thanks hun..."

Darren eyed them, almost nervously, as he got his own plate ready. He hadn't forgotten how they had been yelling earlier.

[Celine☆]

((Super super sorry. I was gone a lot longer than expected... But I don't think the time went to waste anyway. Let's get this show on the road. ;) My phone batteries are super low so I'll try to squeeze in as many posts as I can. :P 1 sec, and what's our next twist gonna be?))

[Celine☆]

((... o.o Totally ship it, but how and why?))

[Celine☆]

((Okay, sounds reasonable. :) Who should show up first? Caleb or Mark? LOL Mark's gonna seduce both of them. XD))

[Celine☆]

((Who's first?

You gotta make him reaaaal good this time though, to get Josh on the band wagon. >;) ))

[Celine☆]

((Excellent mon ami. >:)

Query: do you think, maybe, we could somehow influence these seductions by Robspierre's emotional-kinetics? It would make it seem less evil when, you know, they're making out with evil exes so close to being married... lol))

[Celine☆]

((Oh yeah! Like Skylar's parents disapprove of Josh (being a werewolf and all). That could work.))

[Celine☆]

((Oh mon dieu. LOL. Good ol' sexy Mark... ))

[Celine☆]

((*facepalm* I get a kick outta these guys...

Where should we start? Back where you left off, or should we skip to when Caleb arrives?))

[Celine☆]

((Better hope his highly intuned finacée doesn't notice. XD))

Unlike the normal 'ding dong' of a doorbell, a guard poked his head into the room. "Sirs," he said through a thick French accent. "A mister Caleb Boone here to see you?"

[Celine☆]

Josh blinked from across the table at him. "Who's C-Caleb?"

The guard nodded curtly and disappeared to bring the guest inside.

[Celine☆]

Another question was at the end of Josh's tongue, but he stopped when the door opened and Caleb's handsome face glanced in.

"Oh hi." He said, smiling white enough to get thousands of girls drooling at the mere memory of it. "Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb breakfast. I can come back later..." He was about to back out of the room.
