Thread: Immortal Desires

So Kane was an interesting name? He didn't think it was anything special but perhaps this man hadn't ever heard of it before. Come to think of it, the guy was pretty attractive with that long red hair that resembled his own color although his was more of a pale red and Tez's was more of a bright red. Kane stretched out his own hand to grasp the stranger's and winced as he felt something akin to sharp claws brush against his arm for a brief moment. Eh? There was nothing there though and his brow furrowed at the thought, maybe he had just imagined it? Realizing that he was probably staring at Tez in a strange manner, he smiled up at the other male and scratched his head in a sheepish way as if to apologize for his earlier behavior. Sorry, I kind of spaced out. It's funny, I don't usually do that. But yeah, having something warm to drink would be nice. The redhead said with a nod and made a face when Tez asked about being kicked out of his house. Oh, so you heard that? Yeah, it's not much fun being out all alone. I mean, I still have a credit card to rely on at the moment but who knows how long that will last. Kane said with a shrug and chuckled when Tez asked if he had fallen in love with the wrong woman or something. How ironic were those words. Something like that. He replied with a twitch of his lips. If only the other male knew it was exactly the opposite. Oh really? What did you do? The redhead asked, curious to know how Tez had survived out in the real world without anyone to rely on. At least he had his brother but had Tez been so fortunate? Military work? No, I didn't think about that. Was that what you did? Do you recommend it? Kane inquired, waiting to hear what the other male would say in response. Once the two of them had entered the diner, Kane dried himself off as best he could with the towel Tez had placed over his head and put it off to the side after he was done with it, just in case someone else had need of it. Or had a place they stored the laundry here. Thanks. Kane said as he sipped the hot cocoa and then started in on the soup which was actually quite good. He looked over at Tez when the male asked if he had seen the storm. No, I didn't see it start but I saw it end and I could have sworn I saw something strange in the distance when everything calmed down but it was probably just my imagination. Kane said with a shrug, knowing no one would believe what he had seen if he said anything, not even Tez regardless of how nice he might seem at the moment. A small smile started to form on his lips when Tez spoke of how he thought he was exceptionally beautiful and asked if he would consider going out on a date with him. Seriously? The redhead asked, wondering if the other male was teasing him or if he was actually serious. Because I would love to if you're not joking. You're pretty handsome yourself. He remarked, wondering if he was going too far or not. Then again, Tez didn't seem like the sort who would get offended by his words, not when he himself had asked him out. But appearances could be deceiving which he knew all too well. Sure that would be nice. If I'm not too much of a bother that is. Where is this Emerald Manor? Kane asked and smirked when Tez spoke of how he could be an added bonus to staying there. Oh well, if you put it that way, how could I refuse, right? He teased and made a face when Tez's Walkie Talkie interrupted them. Kane's eyes widened when he heard the word 'dragon' but then the word 'lady' followed after it and his muscles relaxed. So they were just talking about an old Chinese lady and not an actual dragon like the one he had thought he had seen. That made more sense than a mythological creature being out here. Dragon Ladies were common in this part of the city. Kane picked up the address and nodded when Tez told him he had to go and waved him off. Oh don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. Go help them. Once Tez had left, Kane spent the next hour warming up and then after he had filled his stomach, he headed out to find this Emerald Manor. He knocked on the door when he arrived and when he was let in, Kane made his way through the place towards an area that was unpopulated at the moment. This wasn't too bad, at least he was just sharing a room with one person. It was kind of like a college. Yo. Looks like we're roommates. You lost or here alone? Ren asked as he looked over at Kane. Ren had short, spiky dark hair and brilliant blue eyes and seemed at home on the streets going by his clothes. But then, that could have just been the look he was going for. Uh, I'm here alone. Got kicked out of my house by my parents. So don't really have anything to my name. You? Ren made a face. That sucks, man. I don't have anyone, they're all dead so I'm on my own too. Why don't we look out for eachother then? He said with a smile and Kane inclined his head after a moment's thought. Sure, that sounds good. So what do you do when you're not here? The redhead asked curiously and Ren shrugged. He leaned back against the wall of the room and studied Kane. Not much, just what I need to do. Grab some food, find a way to make some easy money, do what I want. Whatever. You can have fun in this city if you know what to do. Ren was actually a member of a popular street gang who sold drugs for profit but never used them. It was forbidden to use them because of what it might do to the gang itself. He wore a heart tattoo with a lightning bolt through the middle of it with the word 'shark' written through the middle of the heart. The Sharks was the name of the gang he was a part of and although most people didn't know it, Ren wasn't exactly human. He was a vampire. A carefree vampire but a vampire nonetheless. A few hours passed and Ren left to take care of some business while Kane wandered through the place, exploring as much as he could. Military work, he could try that he supposed, perhaps it would even make him into a better person. Of course no one could still know about his sexuality but then Tez had done it, right? That meant it could be done and as long as he didn't fall in love with anyone in the service, things should be fine. He was so occupied with his thoughts that Kane started to think about them in greater depth.
