QUEST! :O Maelon: Kid Quest! Well, it's be a long trek for this little one, but it seems he's finally ready to grow! Now what should be done in order to secure his growth? Why, he should be gather these things together: A jacket, a pair of blue sneakers, a snake of some sort, a bottle of poison, and two types of antidotes for said poison. Once he has these in his possession, he must take the poison and feed it to something living, and then figure out which of the antidotes works best.

"MAELON!"
The Sin'aeis boy rolled his eyes, turning from the skateboard that he was cleaning to look at Pryderi. The deer boy shakily held out of a pillow case, tipping it so its contents fell onto the floor. A small, black and yellow snake landed neatly on the carpet, curling up defensively. Mae was instantly on his feet, snatching his newest pet off the floor and allowing it to wrap himself around his arm. "What did you do that for?" He demanded, stroking the snake's scaly head in apology. Stupid protector. Did he not know anything about how to treat a snake? "He was sleeping."
"Sleeping?!" Pryderi spluttered, eying the snake as though it was about to jump at him. "He belongs outside! I won't have a snake in here! I won't!" His voice had gotten considerably higher in terror, as he took a hasty step back. Spiders had been terrible enough. Just knowing that there were large furry spiders in the house while he was trying to sleep had made it nearly impossible for him to sleep at night. He had only just gotten over Kitten when Havok had let Mae take in another scary black spider dubbed 'Bagira.' To know that there was a snake in a house... he didn't even want to thing about it. "I'm your protector, and I say no snakes. Outsides with it!" He pointed towards the door, trying to sound braver than he felt.
"What goes outside?"
Chibi leaned idly on the railing, staring down at the dark chocolate boy and Pryderi. "Mae, what did Havok let you have now?" Stupid kitsune. Did he know how much he'd had to convince the deer boy to let Mae keep his spiders? Exactly how much power did he think he had over Pryderi?
"A snake." Mae said bluntly, cradling the small snake close to him. "And it's too cold for him outside!" He protested, not willing to give up the snake just yet. He'd only just got him! "Please, Chibi, lemme keep him! I'll only take him out when Pry's not looking, an' I won't let him wander around the house an'-"
The tanuki sighed. "It's up to Pry, kid. I don't care if he stays, but Pryderi already puts up with your two spiders."
Pryderi squirmed nervously. It wasn't a poisonous snake, and it wasn't a big snake. But it was still a snake. Chewing on his bottom lip for a moment, he finally said. "You can keep him in your room, and he can only come out in your room! If I see him anywhere else he goes back outside!" Attempting a tone of finality, he watched Mae's reaction. The Sin'aeis grinned broadly, before running forward to hug him. Pryderi paled, and skittered back, out of reach. "Thank me later... when that thing isn't around your arm." And with that, he fled to the safety of the room he shared with Maru. God, what next? Piranhas?
Very pleased with himself, Mae petted the garter snake neatly on the head, before going back to what he was doing. Havok had brought it home yesterday, intending to study it. Of course, he hadn't labeled it (there was only a small yellow dot in the corner of the bottle), but Maelon had been able to identify it. After all, it was one of his gifts. It was some sort of snake venom, the dark chocolate boy guessing it belonged to a rattler snake. With it had been various packages of labeled antivenom. Interested in experimenting with it, had had removed a small amount of the venom, as well as taken some of two different kinds of antivenom. Now all he needed was something to test it on. "I'm going outside!" He called, disappearing out the front door and into the forest. Hmmm... he needed something big, but not too big. It had to be big enough for the poison not to kill it in one shot, but too big would make it impossible for Mae to hold it still long enough.
Luck seemed to be on his side today, as two rather foul looking rodents peeked curiously out of their hole to look at him. Deformed by the strange plant life that grew in Chibi's forest, they weren't exactly the prettiest of things, but they would do. Placing two drops of the poison on the pieces of bread he'd brought along for material, he put the poisoned bits on the ground. All he had to do was wait. The rodents, obviously not very afraid of him, came out slowly to nibble on the bread. He gave them time. Ten minutes would do the trick. Fishing in his pockets quietly, so as not to disturb his test subjects, he removed the antivenom, both of which were in pill form. Now all he had to do was catch them. The rodents, in their poisoned state weren't actually all that hard to scruff and catch, and each was given half a dose of antivenom. Settling back down in his place, he watched. The first antivenom didn't seem to work very well. The rodent looked sicker the more time passed, the antivenom apparently taking very long to activate. The second, however was much more efficient. Within ten minutes, the rodent looked as though it had just been slightly stunned, running away before Mae could test it again. His tests, however, were finished. Satisfied, he slid his snake underneath his hat - so as not to scare his poor protector - and headed back to the house. Now to get this little guy set up his new home. But what to call him? Hmmm...Ah! He knew. He'd call him Chi. That was a good name.
Content, Maelon headed home. A job well done.

Sigh.
I really don't know where to begin. I didn't expect to be sitting here in a hotel room, writing my thoughts down on the little pad of paper I found on the desk. You're probably wondering why I'm here in the first place. After all, I've been staying with him for almost half a year now. Well, I guess you can say my lease is up. I honestly thought I'd be there forever, with him and our son, but apparently...I was wrong. I've been told I'm always right, and that I would never go into something without knowing the outcome. I thought ahead, I really did. I suppose sometimes even I can't see things coming. I wish I had. But writing nonsense like this won't help. I guess I should start at the beginning of this, shouldn't I?
It started about... oh a week ago. For the most part, I've been able to work from home, teaching my course online. My boss has been extremely kind to me, and I am forever in her debt. Normally, I would have been traveling, visiting places to add onto my research. However, I know how unstable he is, and I couldn't bring myself to leave him, knowing what he'll do. He'd act tough beforehand, as always, but I know he'd be terribly upset as soon as I'm gone. I'm not stupid; I know how much even leaving for a weekend would distress him. So I've haven't gone anywhere. I was lucky. Lucky until last Monday. My boss called, telling me that she had managed to secure the trip to my mother's hometown, and that she could send me there to study the small population of fallen angels that had been rumored to live there. I had wanted to go there for years, but I had never been given the opportunity. Now, when I had it, I was afraid to go. Would he understand how much going over there meant to me? Or would he accuse me of being a cheater and using it as an excuse just to leave him? I had tried to pretend like the second option didn't exist. After all, he loves me doesn't he? He should know how important going on this trip was for me. I could find out so much. Anyhow, I took the trip, and spent four days trying to figure out how to break it to him. The trip itself wasn't until November, but I still thought it best to inform him. It would be easier on him that way, rather than springing it as a surprise. So, I waited another day, before bringing up the subject when we were snuggling in the afterglow of previous activities. I hoped that at least would calm him down a little, so as he wouldn't explode on me when I broke the news. The subject seemed to make him uncomfortable, but he didn't do anything except a little shifting. Figuring it was safe to continue, I finally spat out what had me high-strung since the beginning of the week. Even now, I'm not sure what brought on his reaction. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it after sex. Maybe I put it the wrong way. Whatever it was, he exploded.
He was out of bed in a second, ranting his a** off as he pulled on his clothes. I'm used to his raving, and so I said nothing, letting him get it all out of his system. It was only about the usual anyways. Me being a cheater. Looking for an excuse to leave him to go off with some other scientist girlfriend. Normally, I don't care when he yells at me. I just let him, and then say what I have to say once he's finished. But tonight, I just couldn't handle it. I think it was because I had been worrying myself sick over the matter all week. Now, to have him do exactly what I hoped he wouldn't do made me upset. He had no right to tell me what to do, or call me a cheater. When had he ever seen me expressing affection for anyone but him? I don't leave him, and when I do it's with him. He hasn't left my sight since I first arrived. But no, he has to go on a huge tirade, insulting me all the while. I should have controlled myself, and tried to figure out what he really felt. But I couldn't. Not tonight. Before I knew it, I had already lashed out, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and giving him a good shake. I don't know what came over me. I guess even my godly patience can come to and end sometime. I don't really remember much about the fight itself. For the most part, I think it was just us yelling at each other back and forth, the insults slowly getting worse by the minute. That was when he said it. I can't even write down what he said. The thought is making my pen shake. I don't know why he said it. I could put up with being called a cheater, and any of the other names he can think up for me. But when he said that about her, I just snapped. The words had hardly left his mouth before I hit him. I've never hit him before. Ever. I just hadn't felt the need to...until now. That was the end of the fight. To say I was furious would have probably been the biggest understatement of the year. Ignoring the boy I'd just hit, I packed up my computer, and stormed out (not after saying a few nasty words to him).
And so, here I am. It's been two days since I left. No calls from him. Nothing. I knew he wouldn't call me though. He's stubborn like that. Probably distraught too. Sigh. This time, it's up to him. I can't fix it this myself.
That's enough from me tonight. Night.

I know I don't write in here much, but I think I need to. I just needed to get some things off my chest and into writing. This past week has been a disaster. Well, I shouldn't say week; it's really just these past three days. I only expect that it started earlier than that. I had noticed Havok was a bit stressed since Monday, though as he didn't seem to be going into any kind of depression, I didn't push it. I thought it was just work, and that he would be over it in a few days. After all, this is Havok we're talking about. Logical, patient, Havok. I honestly didn't think he could ever lose his temper, even when it came to Chibi. He was always the best at remaining calm and picking out the real meaning behind the tanuki's words. But I guess even godly patience like his has to come to an end sometime. Unfortunately, it was three nights ago. Chibi had been secretly confiding in me that he thought Havok was going to leave, and that was why he was so high-strung. I told him he just had an overactive imagination, and nothing more. He was still a bit worried, but he seemed a little comforted by my words. After all, I didn't believe that the kitsune would leave. I know he loves Chibi a great deal, and that it would take something huge to make him leave. Three nights ago, I found out exactly what it took.
Sachiya and I were playing a game of rock-paper-scissors on the living room couch when all of a sudden we heard yelling. I paused, trying to figure out what was going on. It must have been Chibi, ranting about something. He would be done in a few minutes. The yelling, however, seemed to be getting louder and louder, until I could hear every word Chibi was saying. He was insulting Havok about something. Finally, when I was about to go upstairs and tell the tanuki to be quiet, I heard a rather loud thump. There was silence for a moment, before I could just make out Havok's voice. Thinking the coast was clear, I went back to the game, only to hear Chibi start up again, this time, arguing against an equally loud Havok. That was when I knew something was wrong. Sachiya was starting to sniffle, his ears pressed back into his hair. I gathered the toddler in my arms, attempting to soothe him. All thoughts of soothing, however, left my mind as a loud SMACK all but echoed through the house. My stomach felt like ice. Moments later I heard the door slam, before Havok came storming down the stairs. I don't think calling him livid would have even given the expression he wore any credit. His shoes and coat were on in a minute, and he was out the door, slamming it as though for good measure. The house was deathly silent after that.
Sachiya was the first to break the silence with a rather loud sniffle. I pulled him tighter against me, stroking his hair gently as he started to cry. My mind was reeling. Chibi had pushed it too far for even Havok to withstand. What had he said that had made Havok so furious? I needed to know. Now. Luckily for me, Raylin seemed to have read my mind. The boy sat quietly beside me, as though waiting for me. Still cradling Sachiya, I gently passed him over the pony boy. The toddler didn't seem to mind, just wanting to be held and told everything was all right. It was so hard to leave him with Raylin. Momentarily torn between going back with him and leaving to go see Chibi, I bit my lip. The horse boy simply nods upstairs, before beginning to rock the crying child in his arms. I hesitated only a moment longer, before I slid towards the stairs. I needed answers. I knocked on Chibi's door, and waited. There was no answer. "Chibi, I'm coming in." I said, before starting to open the door. I was about half way through the door what he lunged at me. He was yelling at me to get out, shoving me and trying to push me out of the bedroom. I resisted, determined not to leave him alone. "Chibi! Stop!" I said, still trying to get into the room. "No!" He screamed, before a deflected shove hit the door. The door swung shut right on my tail.
I couldn't have stopped from crying out even if I wanted to. Sucking my breath in sharply, I felt my body start to coil almost protectively around my new injury. My cry, however, seemed to have stilled Chibi. I took my chance and wrapped my arms around him, trying to ignore the throbbing pain in my tail. He stiffened, before I could feel small hands attempting to push me away again. Sigh. He was so frustrating sometimes. I began to herd him towards the bed, barely able to stop myself from wincing as moving caused my tail to twinge painfully. Finally, the back of his knees hit the edge of the bed, and he was forced to sit down. I moved up beside him, still not relinquishing my hold of him. He's finally stopped fighting, slumping weakly against me. I cradle him like I did his son only moments ago, feeling him start to cry. I let him. There's nothing else I can do. Finally, when his body stops shaking, I speak.
"Tell me."
It's not a question. It's a demand. I need to know. He says nothing. I don't repeat my statement. Finally, he says meekly.
"He left, didn't he?"
I make a small noise of affirmation. He draws a shaky breath, before he finally spills. Havok had received a job from his boss that required him to travel. Supposedly, it was very important to him. Chibi mentioned he was supposed to be studying fallen angels. I didn't really need him to say anymore. The thing Havok wanted to do more than anything. Something that Chibi feared. That had been what had caused the kitsune to snap. I sighed inwardly, before rubbing the tanuki's back soothingly. Exhausted, it only took him a few minutes to fall asleep. After I tucked him into bed, I slid to my own room.
And that's where I am now, writing this. I'll give it a day or two, and then I'm going to call Havok. I need to sort some things out before I try and fix this. Not just for their sakes, but for their son's sake. He'll be devastated if the two of them split up.
Night.

Havok lay on his back, staring at the plain ceiling of his hotel room. Sigh. So this was what life was like without Chibi. It was definitely a lot quieter. That thought, however, didn't make him feel any better. The kitsune was just about to roll onto his stomach and try to go to sleep, when a familiar song caused him to pause. What was that? As the first few measures of "I'm too sexy" came again, he realized it was his cell phone ringing. Havok hesitated, before he picked it up. "Dr. Harakhty speaking." He said dully, leaning back against the headboard. It was probably his boss or something. However that was definitely not the voice that he heard.
"Havok, it's me. Maru."
He should have known it was the merman. Havok sighed, before adjusting the phone against his ear. He had a feeling this was going to be a long conversation.
"We need to talk."
"I have nothing against you."
"It has nothing to do with us."
Havok bristled immediately. So Maru was going to try and bring him back? Not this time. The responsibility was Chibi's and Chibi's alone. He wouldn't let the merman convince him to come back.
"You can fix things this time, Maru."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
" ... Why?"
"This is between Chibi and I." Havok paused, before deciding that it would be best to let the merman know how he felt. After all, Maru wouldn't get angry with him. At the very least, he could help the tanuki understand. "I can't keep making things okay. I know I'm supposed to be able to see through his little facade, but sometimes even I need to hear from him that he actually cares about me. And with what he said two days ago-"
"You know he loves you!"
Havok sighed at the interruption. If only he could pretend it was true for a little longer. But the merman deserved the truth. "You know what, Maru? Even I'm not so sure anymore."
There was silence once again, before finally Maru spoke. "I'll talk to him. Don't give up yet." Click.
Havok slowly closed his phone, before setting it gently on the bedside table. Here's to hoping Maru knows what to do. He didn't want to think of what would happen if he couldn't convince Chibi.

I called Havok a few hours ago. While the conversation was short, I have a better idea of what was running through his head. I feel bad for him. I suppose it is partially his fault for getting in a relationship with Chibi, but I understand where he's coming from. He needs to know that the tanuki really wants him back. He even admitted that he doubted Chibi. I didn't think it went that far. No wonder the two of them blew up at each other. Sigh. Speaking of Chibi, the kid's been a mess. He's stayed locked up in his room ever since that incident. He's locked the door too. It's lucky for me that I managed to get a hold of the key, otherwise I wouldn't be able to force meals into him. Sachiya isn't much better. He keeps asking where his daddies are, and why they come and see him. He thinks it's his fault that everyone's so upset. Poor boy. Ray and I have done our best to make him feel as loved as possible, but he's still considerably more down than usual. I suppose I should have known something like this would happen, but I had hoped it wouldn't have occurred until Sachiya was at least a teenager. That way, he could at least be old enough to understand that people fight, and it has nothing to do with him. I just hope this can be resolved soon. The last thing I want is for Chibi and Havok to have split up. The thought makes me shiver.
Anyhow, I went up a few minutes ago to talk to Chibi. He didn't seem to like any of the suggestions I had in mind. That tanuki is stubborn until the end. Finally, I asked him if he wanted Havok back. He said no. I told him he was a terrible liar. I think we must have stared at each other for about fifteen minutes before he tucked his knees to his chest and mumbled something into them. I moved to sit beside him, rubbing his back as I asked him to repeat. He swallowed noticeably, before whispering. "I want him back." Satisfied, I hugged him warmly. He snuggled willingly into me, and I rubbed gently in between his ears. He needs a little comfort even if it was mostly his fault. Besides, no matter how much I comfort him, this time I can't be the one to fix things. Havok's not going to let me bring them back together, nor will he come home willingly anymore. He told me himself. I gave Chibi a few minutes, before finally suggesting that he call Havok. He looked up sharply at me the moment I mentioned it, as though I was crazy. I managed to hold my ground, however, and simply repeated what I'd said. I told him that was what he needed to do, and that it was his turn to make things right. He started to protest, telling me that it wasn't just his fault, but I placed a finger over his lips. "Think of how many times he's taken the blame for you. This time, you need to." A kissed the top of his head, and left him alone to think about it. I honestly hope he'll do it. His courage is my only hope.

Chibi sat quietly on the edge of his bed, staring down at his hands. Call Havok? That was the best thing that Maru could think of? He wasn't going to do it. He would not! Grinding his teeth together angrily, the tanuki clenched his fists. Stupid. ********. Kitsune. He had the nerve to hit him and then to leave! Who the hell did he think he was?! Some sort of god?! Well, he could STAY at that ******** hotel for all that he cared. He deserved it. He really did. It was all his fault. All his fault. That was it. Just keep telling yourself that. It won't change the truth. "Shut up." Chibi mumbled aloud to the nagging conscience in the back of his mind. It was always right. Always. Whether or not he actually listened to it was a completely different story. He left because of you. The tanuki ignored the voice, standing up and heading towards the door. He needed a glass of water and an aspirin. That would make this headache go away. He had just opened the door a sliver when voices caught his attention. Pausing, he knelt down, pressing his ear against the crack. It sounded like... Sachiya talking.
"How come Daddy won't come an' see me?" A voice answered him.
"He's just not feeling well, baby. He'll be out soon."
Sachiya sniffled loudly, before spoke again, this time his voice quavering considerably. "And where Da? Did he leave 'cause of m-me?" The toddler stuttered on the last word, hiccupping softly. He sounded as though he were about to cry. Chibi felt his heart ache painfully, and closed the door quietly. He hadn't realized how much damage this was doing to Sachiya. The poor pup. He must be so distressed. True, he and Havok had before, but they had never ignored him afterwards. Unconsciously, Chibi found himself standing in front of the beside table, staring at the drawer that contained his cell phone. Call. All he had to was call. But what would he say? Biting his lip nervously, he fidgeted. What could he say? I'm sorry? Would that cut it? And what if Havok had decided not to come back ever again? What if he was just calling to be made fun of? Another hiccup from the hall brought the tanuki back to the real world. Whatever the result, he needed do this. For Sachiya. For yourself. You need him. Reminded the voice. Chibi swallowed, mustering up all the confidence he could, before taking out his cell phone and holding down the two. He was going to talk to Havok.
The phone rang three times, before a click signaled that it had been picked up. "Dr. Harakhty speaking." Came the brisk voice, so unlike the one the kitsune used with him. Was this how he would sound now? As though the tanuki was nothing more than just a client? "Havok?" Chibi said tentatively, feeling the hand holding the phone start to shake. There was a pause. "'Soka?" The tanuki swallowed, before he forced himself to speak, faltering even as he did so. "Y-yeah." There was silence again. Chibi let it go on for about three minutes before he couldn't take it any more. Clutching the phone to his face, he just sobbed. In between heavy breathing and crying, he managed to spill out what he had been trying to ignore for almost three days. He missed Havok. He needed the kitsune, and he wanted him to come home; not only for Sachiya's sake, but for his sake. Finally able to quiet his sobs down enough to be understood, he whispered into the phone that was pressed so close to his ear that it would probably leave an imprint tomorrow. "C-come back t-to us. Come h-home." He wanted the kitsune here, telling him that it was okay, that he was forgiven. "I love you."
The tanuki waited, feeling as though each second of silence stretched on for hours. Was Havok going to say anything? Anything at all? Drawing a shaky breath, he said brokenly. "H-h-havok?"
"I love you Chibi."
Chibi started to cry again. '******** it.' He thought dully, not really caring anymore what Havok could hear. The kitsune was whispering words of affection to him over the phone, attempting to soothe him. Quieting himself just enough to be able to hear Havok speak, Chibi waited.
"I'll see you soon, love. I'm coming home." Click.
The tanuki sat with the phone pressed against his ear even after Havok hung up. A knock on his door caused him to finally look up, as Sachiya slid quietly through the door. Chibi stared at his son for a moment, before getting off the bed to kneel on the ground. Opening his arms to the toddler, he managed a small grin as the boy came running to him. Clutching his son in his arms, he rocked the Sachiya slowly back and forth. "He's coming home, Chi. You're Da's coming home."

I honestly didn't think he had it in him to actually call me on the same day Maru suggested it. I'm amazed. It makes me a little angry with myself that I even doubted him. Sigh. Well, what's done is done and all I can say is I'm glad to be back. I missed him, silly tanuki. I hope that's the last time I ever have to hit him. He has a bruise on his left cheek from where I caught him. It makes me feel guilty every time I look at it. It was the first thing I saw when I got back. He was actually surprisingly mature about it, and said that he probably deserved it. Poor kid. But my sacrifice and great show of intestinal fortitude was not in vain. He's been so much better lately. He was back to his normal, bratty self within a day or two of my arrival, but his insults have lost their venom again. I don't mind really, as long as I know that he's just being cheeky. I can always just kiss him quiet. Works every time. I don't care if he says that I'm being too affectionate in front of Sachiya, the toddler should at least know what a loving kiss is. From what I've heard, all these kids now a days don't even know anymore. It's craziness I tell you.
Speaking of Sachiya, he makes me feel the worst about leaving. I didn't realize how much a huge fight would upset him. I don't think I got to that chapter in my "How to be a Parent" manual. Poor boy. He thought it was his fault that I was upset and that Chibi didn't want to leave his room. I suppose, according to toddler logic, that does make sense. Still, I didn't expect him to think something as farfetched as that. Luckily, however, I came back fairly quickly and made things alright again. We're lucky he forgives easily, otherwise we would have been in big trouble. I can't thank Maru and Raylin enough for their care of both Chibi and Sachiya while I was gone. Without them, I really think that Chibi would never have called me. I don't even want to think about that. I've kind of grown accustomed to the little tanuki, and I'm not sure I want to let him go any time soon.
We finally sat down last night to discuss the trip I wanted to go on. I told him that I'd cancel it if he absolutely couldn't handle me leaving yet, and that I wouldn't hate him forever if he said something like that. After all, he's been under a terrible amount of stress lately, and I'd rather miss this trip than worry him even more. Another trip would come up sometime (hopefully.) I really expected him to say that he didn't want me to go. I mean, both he and I know me leaving will make him feel terrible. But he said I should go, but on one condition: that I call him every night. My phone bills, no doubt, will increase dramatically, however I don't really mind. If that's all he needs, then that's fine. I told him I'd even send him a postcard everyday, and he just laughed. I don't think he knows how grateful I am to him. This is what I've wanted to ever since high school when I was determined to become a scientist. I hope I expressed to him how much this meant to me last night. I think he knows. He better not worry himself sick until the date of the trip comes. Silly tanuki.

A Penny Dime for My Thoughts: stare Enter correct starting line here,
Didn't I tell you he'd come back? I was right too. Then again, I'm always right. The fox was back in less than a week. I was glad, because that means I get to spend more time with him. Supposedly Maru called him, but he didn't come home right away. And good for him too! He doesn't need to come home to a house where he's unappreciated (I know how that feels). He was staying at a hotel, waiting for Chibi to practically collapse and call him himself. Which he did, thank god. I didn't know the raccoon had it in him. But he did, and he called and then the fox came back. Whoopee. The little Chibi is happy again too. I heard it was him who influenced the raccoon to call. No doubt about that. He's weak to that kid.
Pry's been talking about some weird s**t with Maru lately. I think we're moving, but I dunno about it. We'll have to see. I kinda hope we move. Then again, it'll be moving in with Pryderi. Urg. Have to decided it moving it a good or a bad thing. Later.

P.S. Didn't see any change. Just so you know, it's dimes now.

"Woah woah woah... what?"
Chibi skidded to a stop, having just caught the last bit of the conversation between Havok and Pryderi. Had he heard what he thought he heard? He narrowed his eyes narrowed when the deer boy muttered something, the look turning to a frown when Pryderi stalked upstairs. Who shoved a stick up his a**? Turning a questioning gaze towards Havok, he grunted when the kitsune just smiled knowingly. Typical. He always had such wonderful; responses. Yes, that was sarcasm. Havok, seemingly following his lover's train of thought, reached over to affectionately stroke a freckled cheek. The tanuki huffed at this, but didn't pull away. He didn't want love (at least not now), he wanted answers. And Havok was going to give them to him. Or else... well, he didn't really have a plan B, but he would think of on eventually. Fixing the kitsune with the best "I want answers now kthx" look his could muster; Chibi rested his hands on his hips and tapped his foot expectantly. Yes, he was being serious. That didn't mean Havok had to actually take him seriously - the look was poutier than Chibi would have liked - but the kitsune was supposed to. And he better.
It seemed today that Havok was not going to withhold information from Chibi, which probably meant it was something important. The kitsune, moved to sit down in the nearest chair, beckoning for Chibi to come over. Looking as begrudging as he could, the tanuki sauntered over, flopping into his lover's lap. He may have loved being held by the kitsune, but he would die before admitting it. He was lucky he had such an understanding lover. Havok always seemed to know. Still, Chibi had learned that he did need to spill his true feelings ever now and again. He just wasn't feeling particularly up to it right now. Regardless, he snuggled willingly into the embrace Havok offered, hoping that would prompt the kitsune into spilling. He didn't like having secrets withheld from him.
"I'm going to tell you, but you're not allowed to jump up, okay? I don't fancy being smacked in the chin."
Chibi huffed at this, but nodded.
"Pry's moving out with Maelon. They're going to move to a house near that Sin'aeis place. He says it'll be better for Mae. They'll be gone by tonight."
There was a moment's silence, before the tanuki spoke. "Oh." At this, Havok reached over to put his hand on the boy's forehead. "You feeling okay, 'soka? No screaming? No yelling?" Chibi swatted his hand away, irritated. "I can be mature!" Havok couldn't resist snorting at this, amused not only by the statement, but the indignant look that appeared on the tanuki's face at his snort. Ah, he was such a silly little 'coon.
Chibi grumbled irritably at the whole situation, before burying his face in Havok's shirt. Stupid kitsune. The sound of two pairs of footsteps coming down the stairs caused him to look up, red eyes meeting Pryderi's gold pair. "You off already?"
The deer boy nodded, suitcase resting neatly at his feet. "Well come back for visits...we won't be far." He said quietly, before heading towards the door. The Sin'aeis boy grudgingly followed his protector, raising his hand in a wave.
"Catch you later Pry! Kid!" Chibi called after the retreating figure, before sighing and wiggling to get more comfortable on Havok's lap. Feeling fingers running through his hair, he murred softly.
"Are you going to miss him?"
The tanuki blinked. "Yeah... a little. We'll see him around though."
Havok smiled, resting his head on Chibi's. "If you say so, 'soka."

Pryderi took me out of that crazy raccoon's house. Can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad one. One one hand, I don't have to put up with that stupid other boy who was there. No, not the pony boy, the other one. All he did was bounce around and keep all the attention to himself. It sucked, but now he's gone. I don't have to see him much more. That's good. Sucks that I don't get to see Havok much more. Doesn't mean Pry is going to have any say over what I do though. Bitchy deer. It might have been better if I stayed with Chibi, because at least then Havok could tell that deer to go away and leave me alone. Stupid. Anyway, floor plan of our new house:
I'm currently redoing my bedroom. Pry doesn't like him. He can bite me.

P.S. Havok sent me these cool headphones. They're awesome.
