Thread: Immortal Desires

So there were still things going on in families like arranged marriages. He hadn't known customs like that still existed in this particular country and felt somewhat sorry for the people who were forced into that sort of thing with no way out. But at least Tez had been one of the luckier ones. Kane thought about what Tez had said about being in the military and was fairly sure he could handle the constant verbal abuse and following orders wasn't out of the question for him but taking a beating might not be his strong suit since he had never really been able to take pain well. However, getting a local job might be a problem since they usually required some way to contact their employees like a phone number. Since he wasn't living at home anymore and didn't have a cell phone, it was kind of hard to put down a number he could be reached at if he didn't have a place to call his own at the moment? Even if they did decide to hire him, how would they get in touch with him? Sure he could linger by the building in question but at the same time he could be picked up for loitering or something along those lines. The military sounded like the best bet for him at the moment since it probably didn't require a number and might even take him in instantly, depending on their circumstances. Then again, perhaps he could just ask Rane to help him out for a little while. Like borrow his cell phone for a few weeks until he got the job. Kane raised a brow when Tez brought up the possibility of stripping and considered it for a few seconds. Well, stripping was different from prostitution. Stripping didn't mean you had to fuck or be fucked by anyone, it just meant people's opinions of you were lowered. But Kane didn't mind that personally, however how would it look for Rane if he managed to get into the spotlight? If people found out his younger brother had been a stripper for a short time, wouldn't that make trouble for Rane? There were so many things to consider. He blinked when Tez asked what it was he had seen in the distance and asked if he could describe it. For a moment he was about to respond but then something inside warned him not to as if he would be in danger if he did and his mouth closed on its own. No, it's nothing, I probably imagined it. Kane said with a shake of his head and a half-smile came to his face at Tez's next words. Well yes, you are pretty handsome. You should be pleased with that, after all I could have said you were only decent like me! He teased and a light chuckle escaped him when Tez complimented him on his own looks. Kane didn't really think he was that good to look at, sure he was attractive but nothing really special to the majority of the population. Not like his brother who had the face of a model. Then, out of nowhere, Tez suddenly leaned forward and kissed him, albeit a short one but a kiss nonetheless and it left him almost breathless. Well. That had been unexpected! Kane's mind returned to him a second after Tez had pulled away again and he made a face as he watched the other male stride away. Too bad, he would have liked to have pounced on him in return but now was not the time or the place for such an action. He would have to wait until later. Kane let out an exclamation of surprise when someone nearly ran right into him and backed up a few paces. Tez! This was a surprise, he hadn't expected the other male to be here. Of course he should have, hadn't Tez said he would find him later? But hadn't he been out taking care of the dragon lady? Maybe he had already taken care of it but that had been quite fast! Impressive. Did you take care of the dragon lady? Kane asked and then his green eyes widened as Tez's glamor faded for a brief second, showing his white streaked hair, long pointed ears, long claws and bare, clawed feet. What the hell? He didn't notice but his face had gone pale. Kane backed away from Tez as the other male came towards him and let his eyes flicker up and down Tez's frame. No, he was back to normal again but still... he could have sworn that Tez had changed before his very eyes. There it was again! Not all of it this time around but he could see the claws on his arms and the long pointed ears. Now they were gone again. What are you? He managed to get out, narrowing his eyes at the other male. Sure he was accepting of pretty much anything and everything but he wasn't stupid. There were things and humans out there who were dangerous. Now he had to figure out if Tez was dangerous. If he wasn't, it didn't matter what he was, Kane would accept him. But if he was dangerous, he was going to get out of here regardless of the benefits it provided.
