Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lawrence smiled when Xavi acted shocked and kissed his cheek before he got up. He was glad Xavi helped carry some things since there was a lot. As he was reaching down to gather their bags, Lawrence glanced behind him when he heard a different voice. He frowned at the man's words but ignored it for now as he picked up a few bags. When he heard Xavi suddenly spoke up. Sure he couldn't be talking to Lawrence, the silver haired man stood up and glanced at the man and grabbed the man's wrist to pull his hand away from Xavi's cheek. "Don't' you know it's impolite to touch other people's things?" he said in a sudden fit of rage. Lawrence's glared at the man and his grip on his wrist tightened. "What the hell?" the guy choked out in pain and a low growl escaped Lawrence's throat. When the man's other fist came up to hit Lawrence, the shape shifter's other hand came up to shove the stranger away... Maybe a little too far away because he flew quite a bit before he landed, knocking over a table and a couple chairs in the process. "Pervert," Lawrence murmured as he smirked then glanced back at Xavi. "We should run," Lawrence said as he quickly picked up the rest of the bags and placed his arm around Xavi's back. Lawrence moved quickly, glancing behind them at the man as he rushed Xavi off out of the food court. Moving all his bags into one hand, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and called the limo driver, telling him to meet them around the front as quickly as possible. Lawrence was hoping the guy wouldn't be catching up with them.

Lawrence got into the limo with Xavi, placing his bags on the ground as he smiled at him. Once the car was heading off to go home, Lawrence sighed and hugged Xavi close. he'd realized his mistake when they were running away. "You're not just a thing to me... I promise," Lawrence whispered as he panted softly. He hadn't realized that he'd openly talked about his precious Xavi as if he was an object and then something hit him and he pulled away from Xavi. "You said you already told the man to leave you alone didn't you? Was he bothering you while I was gone?" he asked out of pure curiosity. The thought that the man could have done something to Xavi while Lawrence was gone actually scared the man and he sighed in relief, knowing that Xavi was fine now. Nuzzling the boy's neck, Lawrence wrapped his arms around Xavi's waist and pressed their foreheads together. "I don't know what I would have done if he had done something to you. I promise I won't leave you alone like that again," Lawrence said, voice full of worry.

The two of them arrived home soon enough and the driver helped take the bags into the house so that it could be placed into Lawrence's closet for now. When they found out where Xavi was going to sleep they would move the clothes to that room. Lawrence lead Xavi out of the car by his hand and went towards the house. They were greeted by passing maids and butlers and as Lawrence stepped inside, a strange meow could be heard as Meemo made her way towards them with her tail in the air as a welcome. Leaning down, Lawrence picked up the silver bengal cat and pet her head. She was a little bigger than your average cat. "Were you good for me while I was gone?" Lawrence asked as he pet her and she purred. Lawrence stood with a smile and showed her to Xavi. "This is Meemo. Meet Xavi, Meemo, Lawrence said and the cat meowed at him.

Lawrence smiled to see Meemo loving Xavi just as much as Xavi was loving her already. Maybe Lawrence was going to be the jealous one now that Meemo was so excited to see that she had one more person to spoil her. "Do you want to pick your room? There's a lot of rooms that are cleaned up and prepared but they're all pretty much the same. You could share with me if you'd like. There'll be enough room for the two of us after all. If not, we'll move your clothes into whatever room you choose," Lawrence said. Going over to Meemo and Xavi, he reached over to pet her head and she actually dodged Lawrence's hand to nuzzle Xavi's face. "Who and I going to love, and pet, and snuggle now that you've forgotten all about me, Meemo?" Lawrence said before he lead them upstairs.

"There's a pool and garden in the back and there's a maze too but if you go in there, make sure someone knows just in case you get lost. There's a forest too and it keeps going until it reaches the river. Make sure you tell someone if you go into the forest as well. Downstairs there's a ballroom with instruments if you can play them and I have an office down there which is part of the library that goes up until the second floor. The kitchen and dining area are downstairs so feel free to ask the chef if you ever want something to eat. I had the pool filled up for you in case you want to go swimming but I'm not much of a swimmer. Please don't swim in the river though," Lawrence said. He probably should have mentioned that he didn't want Xavi in the river because the current could be strong and Lawrence wouldn't be able to help Xavi if it swept him away.

Lawrence smiled at the reply he got from Xavi. Once they were upstairs, Lawrence showed Xavi the master bedroom and smiled when he got a kiss on the cheek, a cute smile, and Xavi agreeing to share his bedroom. "You're welcome," Lawrence said before he kissed the corner of Xavi's mouth and opened one of the large double doors at the top of the stairs. Inside was a large renaissance styled room with a modern hint. He hoped that Xavi wasn't going to make him redecorate because Lawrence rather liked his bedroom the way it was. On the wall farthest from him, the wall was glass and the top half was shut for now. The bottom half was opened a bit so that they could walk out onto the balcony which looked down into the backyard. You could even see past the forest and see the river. It really was a nice view and Lawrence lead him there first. Lawrence was sure Xavi would be happy to see the huge walk in closet they would be sharing as well. The washroom was rather large too although Lawrence used the shower in there instead of the bathtub. "Do you like it?" Lawrence asked with a smile.

Lawrence smiled. He was happy to see that the room was liked and paused when Xavi finally saw the closet. Of course he would notice all the clothes he didn't like and soon most of Lawrence's clothes were on the ground. Meemo went to play in the pile of ugly clothes and Lawrence could only look back at Xavi with confusion as he got that look in his eyes. Lawrence smiled at what Xavi came up with then shrugged. "As long as you're happy and I won't be hobo stud anymore," Lawrence said with a grin. "Should I get a sewing machine in here and have my office turned into your fashion studio or something?" Lawrence asked with a chuckle although he was completely serious. Xavi had said something about how he used to make clothes and Lawrence was eager to see what his pet was capable of. "Will I need to pay you though?" Lawrence asked with a smile. He honestly wouldn't care if he had to as long as Xavi didn't use the money to run away from Lawrence. As long as Xavi was going to stay with him, Lawrence would honestly do anything for his precious Xavi.

Lawrence smiled and hugged Xavi back. "Well since you're staying in this room instead of the next one, I can have the next room turned into a place where you can sew and do whatever you like. The balconies are connected for my room and the one on the right and left of it anyways so you can choose whichever room you like even though they're basically the same," Lawrence said as Xavi pulled away. Lawrence had to glance away to keep from staring at Xavi's behind as he gathered up Lawrence's clothes that were soon to be remade. Maybe the slave he picked was a little too attractive but Lawrence just smiled and left the room for a moment to ask one of the maids to move a sewing machine into Xavi's bedroom. If Xavi needed anything else, they could go get it or ask someone to get it for them. When Lawrence came back, he found Xavi. "Should I show you the rest of the house? The place is pretty big so I don't want you getting lost. If you ever do, just ask a maid of butler for help," Lawrence said with a smile. Lawrence was still curious of what he was going to end up doing to repay Xavi for making his clothes look a little more attractive. Tugging at the bunny ears on Xavi playfully, Lawrence smiled when he saw that the rabbit tail attached to a pair of boxer briefs was alone on a shelf. "Should i get you more animal costumes? Maybe I should get one to match you with Meemo," Lawrence joked.

Lawrence smiled happy to see that Xavi liked the idea. When Xavi asked him where he went to mostly, Lawrence lead him downstairs and to the back yard first. "Most of the time I'm inside the forest, maze, or garden. Like I said before, I don't like to swim but you're welcome to use to pool," Lawrence explained before he went over to the garden and sat them down under the shade at a bench that faced the back yard. He pulled Xavi into his lab and nuzzled his neck, guessing that they could spend some time there since it was still nice outside. "Should we go inside the maze?" Lawrence said as he rested his chin on Xavi's shoulder and stared up at the boy. Lawrence could show him the middle of the maze where there was a rose garden in the opening and a place to seat two. Lawrence usually spend time in there alone when he simply wanted to relax since he knew his way around the maze but he would be happy to share the space with his Xavi. No one really bothered him there except for Meemo and that was why Lawrence liked the place.

Lawrence smiled and stood once Xavi was off his lap. He allowed Xavi to take his hand, liking the feeling as he lead them to the maze. The walls were tall, perfectly trimmed rose bushes. Lawrence led them though twists and turns until they found the middle of the maze. There were little rose bushes here and there along with a few rose bushes trimmed into animals. In the middle of the opening, there was a gazebo and in the centre of it was a small table with a chair on either side. There were cushioned seats inside the gazebo as well and Lawrence lead them there instead to be a little more comfortable. "This is my favourite place," Lawrence said with a soft smile as he pulled the rabbit into his lap again. "Didn't you say I was going to have to chase you if you wore this?" Lawrence asked with a chuckle as he tugged at the rabbit ear again. "Should we relax or play hide and seek?" he added, thinking it would be fun.
