Jack had rinsed out the dirty bottle and folded the blanket, setting it on the couch. He then started to pick up some of the toys, just getting them out of the walk way. Kailah tended to make a huge mess when she was playing with her toys, especially with her stuff animals....that wolf part in her was very strong and she usually bite holes in the toys and ripe out the stuffing.

Yeah.......her name is Kailah...shes not here.....I sent her away so she would be safe and not in this city when those pack of monster come here. He said.

He smiled some and gently took the picture down, looking at it for a moment. I just hope that I will live through this to see her..... He added softly, putting the picture up back on its hook and sigh.

You can have my room if you like....its warmer in there. He said, turning on the heat and smiled.

Listening to Jack talk about his daughter with such fondness had Luca thinking about his own family again. He couldn’t even remember their names or picture their faces but knew he had to have one somewhere because everyone had a family right? He felt his heart sink and a wave of jealousy rush through him as he watched the affection shown in the man’s face towards his daughter.

When Jack placed the picture back on the wall, Luca finally forced his attention away to look at the floor again. He wondered if his parents ever cared about seeing him again that much or if they actually cared at all. Kailah was lucky to have her father and he hoped one day she would know this. Though he knew it wasn’t his place to say, he gingerly stepped forward and placed his hand on Jack’s shoulder.
“I’m sure you’ll make it back to her. It’s always the case when you have something to fight for and a reason to live.” He said quietly before allowing his hand to slip and walking over to the couch.

He only now shrugged his bag and Jack’s jacket off, placing the bag on the floor and folding Jack’s jacket up neatly before placing it on the side table. Turning to face the man, his cheeks flushed some as he was offered the bedroom to sleep and quickly shook his head, the startled expression playing across his pale features.
“I couldn’t… I mean, that’s your bed. I’ll be fine in here. After weeks sleeping outside, I’m pretty sure even the floor would even be comfortable. I’m just really thankful for you letting me stay and… I’ll be out of your way in no time.”

Crouching down on his knees, he opened his bag and pulled his bottle out again, just a little something to help him sleep although he felt sure he wouldn’t need it. Once his bag was zipped again, he quickly removed his she’s realising he didn’t want to dirty the place up before glancing down at his T-shirt in slight horror. Quickly pulling it over his head, he placed it on top of his bag to make sure it didn’t touch any of the nice things the man had.
“Umm, Jack. Would you mind if I got cleaned up?” He asked sheepishly, chewing on his lip as his fingers scratched idly at the specks of blood that stood out against his pale arms. He felt embarrassed to ask but felt it necessary now, especially now he was in someone’s house.

That was true. If you had something worth dieing for, then that right there should give you the strength to protect and survive. He had learned that lesson when he was young...his mother was a regular human female, but she died protecting him and he lived on because of her strength and will power...and her love for him.

Its fine really...I am more comfortable sleeping in my chair anyway. He said, going to the closet and getting out a extra pillow and blanket for him to use.

The hot air was warming the place up, it felt nice and he wondered how long Luca wanted to stay. Course the kid could stay as long as he wanted, he didn't want to cast a kid out into the streets, not with this pending doom ahead.

No, the bathroom is down the hall, last door on your left. He told Luca, pulling off his shirt to reveal a muscular and toned body that was covered with colorful tattoos. He tossed his shirt into a hamper that was starting to get filled with cloths and took off his pants, being left in only his boxers. He picked the hamper up with one hand and walked to the laundry room, tossing the hamper of cloths into the washer and turned it on.

It seemed the man was going to insist on Luca having the more practical place to sleep. Not wanting to make a fuss about it and feeling very grateful, he shrugged his shoulders, smiled and quickly mumbled a thank you to the guy before climbing to his feet. Glancing in the direction the man pointed out, he nodded his head in appreciation before he froze on the spot.

The man had gone on to practically strip down to his underwear leaving Luca staring at him wide eyed and rosy cheeked. The man was a lot more muscular and had a lot and tattoos than the boy had initially thought and Luca felt himself wanting to reach out and touch them though he remained with his hands behind his back. As the man moved on to collect some more washing, Luca finally tore his eyes away and blinked at the floor, only then realising he had forgotten to breathe.
Shaking his head, he quickly made to leave the room and rush to the bathroom at the end of the hall.

Once there, Luca spent a good few minutes staring at himself in the mirror. He didn’t look well but he put that down to lack of sleep and normal human food. His other self-had been in control lately, especially as he’d had to fend for himself outside so that meant sticking to a strict diet of humans, something that made Luca feel sick just thinking about it.

Fifteen minutes later he exited the bathroom again dressed only in his jeans and feeling much more relaxed. Reaching the door that led to the front room again, he paused for a moment, unsure whether the man was decent yet. Running his hand through his hair, he sighed loudly and walked through, his eyes searching for the owner of the place.
At his bag, he quickly knelt down and pulled his cigarettes out before shoving them in his pocket along with his lighter and climbing to back to his feet. Taking a sip from the bottle he held firmly in his hand, he pulled a strange face at the taste before facing jack with another question.
“Umm, where do I go to smoke in here?” He asked curiously, hugging at his body with one arm as though he was being self-conscious. This certainly wasn’t the case though. Compared to the man’s build, Luca was rather on the scrawny side, tall but slimmer than most and he was happy with that.

He then had to think about his plans for the next day, the first thing being to look for a job. He also wanted to find somewhere else to stay so he didn’t feel like he was intruding so much. This man had a baby making it most unfair for him to have to share his apartment with some boy he didn’t even know.
Running his hand through his hair and feeling the water sprinkle down his face, he smirked slightly before asking another question, his fascination getting the better of him. “Where did you get all your ink from? Did they hurt?”

Once Jack did some laundry, he went to his bedroom to get a clean pair of pj pants. He found a simple pair of black ones and put those one, looking up to see Luca had finished cleaning himself off. The bed was already mad and the room was clean, so Luca shouldn't have any troubles sleeping and what not.

He walked out of the bedroom, getting his chair ready and looked to Luca with a cocked eyebrow. I've done a few myself and I've have them done at the stop I work at....and other places outside of Somber Falls...and no they don't hurt but I have a pretty high pain tolerance. He said with a smile. Why, thinking about getting some ink? He asked curiously.

Luca leant against the plush looking couch as he watched the man setting up his bed for the night, his eyes still wondering over the ink that stood out over the man’s body. He hadn’t seen anyone with that many tattoo’s before, not that he could remember any way, the question the man shot back at him caused his to look up now, his eye’s meeting Jack with another smirk.
“Maybe. Depends if I can find someone who isn’t going to make me freak out when they touch me.”

He gave a small chuckle now as he thought back to the last person that had tried to jab him repeatedly with needles. He hadn’t done it intentionally but his alternate self had taken it as a threat and it hadn’t ended to nicely at all. It wasn’t his fault his demons could be so overprotective. They also appeared to have a jealous streak too when people got too close meaning he usually ended up doing something he regretted when anyone got close to him.

Taking another long sip of the drink, he looked down at his defined hips, scowling slightly at how un-masculine they were. “I was thinking of a paw print, just there…” –He traced his finger across the inside of his hip to show Jack where he meant- “And then something down the side of my ribs but unfortunately, I don’t do too well with needles or people getting that close. Who know's though, I may have to visit you at your shop sometime and see if you have the right hands for the job. ” He grinned now causing his dimples to show more than he liked and walked to the window where he pulled back the curtains slightly to gaze outside. He could see the lights from the town centre. Opening the window, he leant out slightly as he lit one of his cigarettes and made sure to make sure any smoke was going out of the window.

Jack looked at Luca, cocking an eyebrow at his words. He wondered if whatever was inside the boy tended to act out when someone got to close to its host. Guess the boy was possessed by a demon or something. He was glad that Kailah wasn't here, course he would never allowed Luca to come into his house with Kailah or allow someone who was considered uncontrollable to be in close proximity of his precious baby girl.

He looked at Luca's hips, trying to picture a paw print tattoo on the boys well defined hips. Luca barely had any muscle tone, actually his body was kinda androgynous in his eyes. Well maybe you should know that I am allow to touch you before you go into my shop, I don't want you killing everyone up in there and scaring customers away. He said with a chuckle.

He watched Luca walk to the window, opening it and started smoking. He did walk up behind the other, opening the window that was beside of him and took out his own smokes. His eyes did run over Luca's body for a moment, turning his head away and looked out the window.

Luca couldn’t help but smirk at Jack’s words in return. Of course, it would help if he didn’t have the urge to eat anyone that got close to him. Still, the guy didn’t look weak or stupid; one of those people that Luca barely made any time for because if he ever did want anything from them, they were a lot tougher to trick and take down. Luca wasn’t stupid enough to test this either, he was smart and sly and only made his choices when he knew he could get away with them. That was, providing, no one got too close and hurt him.

Once Jack joined him by the window, he turned slightly and looked him up and down with a sigh, his eyes lingering slightly longer than they were meant to.
“I suppose there is that to worry about… but I’m sure you could handle me. If I didn’t think you could, I wouldn’t have come here tonight.” He said, letting a smirk play on his lips again before taking a drag on his cigarette and aiming the smoke out of the window. Going back to looking outside, he leant over the window sill but kept the man in the corner of his eyes.
“So, this daughter of yours, she’s safe right? Where’s her mother? Is she safe with her?” he asked with an air of innocence, glancing back to Jack with the same childlike look he had in the forest. It was mostly curiosity playing on his mind but other than that, the boy had always wanted to know everything about everyone.

Jack had handled worst than what this boy could dish out, but he wasn't going to entirely underestimate the boy since whatever was that was lingering inside the other was something that wasn't quite nice or innocent. He just chuckled at what the boy said next. Mmm I would agree....but even I don't know what you have going on inside that body of yours....so I couldn't completely say I could handle it... He added. Course I would never allow you to just go around and kill my customers either... He said with a chuckle.

He looked back at the window as well, staring up at the starry sky and had alot of thoughts rushing through his mind till Luca's voice caused him to break away from his inner thoughts and looked back at the boy. He almost scowled at Luca's words on the mother, but he just frown at the thought of Amanda. Yeah my daughter is safe...and her mother I could give two shits less about. He said, growling some at the last part.

It seemed Jack did use his brain unlike most people Luca had met and was keeping caution which made Luca happy to see. He hated nothing more than people who were too trusting and underestimated them; naivety was just one of those things that made his skin crawl even though that type usually made for easy prey.

When Jack answered the question Luca had left him, he almost wished he hadn’t spoken. The growl that left the werewolf made Luca frown a little as he looked back at the man with a puzzled expression.
“Ok… well I’m sorry for speaking… I’ll make sure not to bring that up again. No need to get ratty about it…” He rolled his eyes now and took another drag on his cigarette. Eyeing the man suspiciously, he wondered what his story was but delved no further. After a moment, he sighed and shook his head, almost looking upset again before he spoke. “I’m sorry I brought it up… it really wasn’t any of my business. I was just intrigued… I-I was just curious to know about you. I don’t usually get the chance to talk to people before they ruin everything for themselves…”

It wasn't probably...polite to get this rattled over Amanda to this total stranger, but the thought of her at this moment honestly sickened him and just pissed him off to no end. He just sigh, taking a huge drag of his cigarette before just flicking the now one inch stub and closed his window.

He looked to Luca again, sitting down in his chair and leaned back some, closing his eyes with a heavy sigh. It's fine....you didn't know.......just talking about her makes me mad is all.... He added with a soft sigh.

After clearly touching a nerve on his last choice of topic Luca decided that now it was best to keep quiet. He hadn’t expected the kind of reaction he had got and quite frankly didn’t want a replay. He took the last few drags of his cigarette in silence before carefully flicking it out of the window and turning to look at Jack. He offered a small smile to the man to show he hadn’t meant any harm when their eyes met for a moment before he quickly looked away again and started playing with his feet.

Hearing Jack take a seat, Luca sighed and leant back against the window sill, unsure of what to do now. He took another glance around the room as Jack spoke, only turning to look at him through his lashes with slight sympathy when Jack’s reaction was explained. He knew the feeling in some ways, having met a few people that could make his blood boil just thinking about them though that was only because they knew how to get under his skin. They were all six feet under now though and in some ways Luca missed them as they had once helped him feel something, even if it was unbearable confusion that made him hate those he had once thought he had loved.

Sighing, he slowly walked across the floor and behind the couch where Jack was sitting as though making his way to the bedroom but then paused. He leant over the back of it, rising his feet of the floor a few inches in a playful challenge to keep his balance as his eyes wondered across the plush material of the couch until they landed on Jack once more. His eyes glazed over once more as they shamelessly took their time wondering over the man’s panes again before he shrugged and spoke.
“Well at least I know what topic to avoid now. You look tired Jack. Maybe it’s time you got some sleep. You sure you’re ok with me having your bed? I don’t want you being uncomfortable because of me.” His eyes finally met Jacks as he smiled in contentment and waited to see if jack was ok with everything.

He took out another cigarette, needing another one already and lite it up. He inhaled deeply, exhaling through his nose and stared up at the ceiling for a moment in deep though and almost forgot that Luca was here till the boys voice broke him out from his thoughts and he turned his head to look at the other.

Yeah its fine...besides you staring at me would make me more uncomfortable than me sleeping on a bed. He teased and chuckled.

He held the cigarette between his fingers and cocked an eyebrow at Luca. Do you normally check half naked guys out or am I just that good looking and my tattoos fascinate you? He added with a teasing tone.

Luca was brought back to his senses by the man speaking, his cheeks turning a rather rosy colour against his pale skin as he appeared to be somewhat flustered by the question. His eyes landed back on the couch and he opened his mouth to object before quickly closing it again and biting his lip. Was there any way to answer that question without looking slightly weird?

Kicking his toes against the floor, he let a small, sheepish grin cross his face as he kept his eyes anywhere but in Jacks direction. It was safe to say the question had left him speechless, the man making him feel confused as to what he was implying. He wasn’t used to this situation and in all honesty it made him feel slightly overwhelmed.

Finally, he managed to clear the not so innocent thoughts that had filled his head and turned back to Jack with a shrug of his shoulders.
“No... I mean... Ok, I have to admit, it’s usually half naked girls I check out but I make an exception for those I that have something different to offer. Your ink is pretty fascinating and you clearly have a body that most would find hard to look away from so come on, you can’t exactly blame me for looking and being curious. It’s not my fault.” And it was true, it wasn’t his fault. He had a natural hunger for many things which was out of his control but at least it kept his demons happy. He shot the man a quick wink before going back to smirking and staring at the couch in thought.

The question seem to put Luca in a no win situation with his answer. He just looked at the other, wondering how the other was going to reply. He chuckled at the answer that Luca had given, running a hand through his long hair and pushed it back against his skull. Bi-curious are we? He asked with a chuckle.

He got up now, poking Luca forehead. Be careful though......curiosity can be a bad thing and get you into some trouble. He added with a smirk before going to the kitchen and pulled out some Vodka. He got a cup out, pouring a shot and tilt his head back and drowned it.
