An Ancient Feud (Private, 18+)

[virtualoo]

Otso continued to eat happily, pretty much finished with his food but not caring to move. He noticed at one point Bryan while reading his book had put his head in his lap. He was perfectly content with this, loving Bryan could just relax like that with him. He didn’t care what they did or didn’t do together, he just enjoyed his time with him

 

Tenmo finally came back with the drink, Ash still looking shyly away. Tenmo didn’t point it out to embarrass him, not wanting to discourage him doing it again in the future. They went back to their board game to finish it up, each grabbing another slice 

[Sathenus]

Ren was sitting in the living room with a bright smile on his face playing with little Oreo so glad that the tiny kitten was going to be spending two weeks with them while Bryan and Otso were on their honeymoon. He didn't quite get what a honeymoon was but was told it was something most people did after getting married. All that mattered to him was more time to spend with the kitten he had been missing terribly. His panther tail swishing happily behind him and ears perked up. Ren was going to enjoy every second of these next two weeks. Kaine was in the kitchen again finishing getting a snack ready for Ren and calling up to Ash to make sure he was ready for his date. Their oldest son having told them that he had another date this afternoon. 

 

Asahi was excited and had been feeling like Wednesday was never going to come. Waking up this morning there was a bounce in his step. The marks that Ash had left on his neck from their last date had faded considerably to the point where he was no longer getting glares every time he went downstairs but he didn't mind the looks. Because he knew it was out of jealousy, just like the looks he was getting now as he was in the kitchen getting something to drink. It wasn't as though they were all unaware of when others had dates it was clear by their excited behavior. So it was no wonder that everyone whose path he crossed seemed to know why he was so happy and eager. After finishing his glass of iced tea he texted Ash to let him know he was on his way and would be there soon. Stepping out of the house Asahi changed into a wolf and darted off far to eager to just walk there like he had for their first date.

 

Bryan was extremely excited for this trip. They had packed up Oreo and her stuff and dropped her off with Tenmo, Kaine and the boys that morning before heading off to get on the plane. Now he was sitting beside his husband as their plane was taking off and he could only think about the great time they were going to have. Turning his gaze to Otso he leaned over and gave him a kiss a loving smile on his face. "We're going to have a great time." He mused taking Otso's hand in his. Rubbing the back of the other's hand with his thumb as his mind continued to race.

[virtualoo]

Otso knew the kitten was in safe hands, remembering how eager Tenmos sons were at seeing little Oreo again. He was happy she had somewhere to go, eagerly helping Btyan the day prior to pack their bags. It felt weird to be somewhere as crowded as an airport, constantly looking around at everything there was to see. He had never been in an airport or on a plane before~! It would be a bit hard to stay calm for so long but he knew he would manage. He squeezed the others hand a bit tightly when they were taking off, excited but a it nervous and scared at the sensation of the now taking off plane. "We will" He said with a  soft smile, squeezing it tighter as he returned the kiss.

 

"You look wonderful darling" Tenmo said when Ash came downstairs, looking like he at least made his best attempt at putting on the best outfit he thought looked good. Ash scratched behind his ears quietly but soon was smiling again. "Thanks" He grinned, little Oreo trotting over to Ash and loudly demanding attention while rubbing up against his legs. He chuckled, leaning down for a moment to give her a few pets. He soon heard noises near the house, assuming it was Asahi and quickly rushing to the door. "Slow down tiger" Tenmo chuckled lightly

[Sathenus]

Bryan gave his husband an understanding smile when he felt him squeeze his hand as the plane was taking off.  Once they were in the air he reached for the book he had packed and turned his gaze to Otso. "You remembered to pack something to do for the fight right handsome?" Bryan questioned patting the others arm. "I'd hate for you to be bored or stress the entire trip." He said with a gentle smile.

 

Asahi jumped up the porch super excited. It took him a few moments to calm enough to change back his tail was still eagerly wagging behind him. Knocking on the floor he didn't have to wait long already hearing footsteps heading for the door. It caused his smile to grow happy to think that Ash was as excited for their second date as he was.

[virtualoo]

Otso nodded, pulling out some bulky but cushioned headphones for him to play some music on. "I got it love" He smiled, hoping he would be fine by the next time they would get on the plane bound for Japan. He put them on and closed his eyes, holding onto the others hand as long as he was able, or at least keeping it so his hand was still touching him.

 

Ash's tail remained out, still perked up and swaying in delight as he opened the door and saw Asahi there and eagerly waiting for him. "Asahi, hi!" He said with a big smile, eager to go out on their date. Oreo was darting over with plans to go along, Tenmo catching her before she got to the door. "Have fun you too!" Tenmo said with a small wave. "Let us know if youre going to be out late or eat dinner or anything" he said while Ash tried not to be too embarrassed

[Sathenus]

The rest of the plane ride was quiet between them. He continued holding Otso's hand throughout the flight letting it go only when he needed to turn a page in his book. Getting off the plane he hummed softly as they made their way through the airport and.to baggage claim. After collecting their stuff he lead the way out of the airport and over to get the vehicle he had rented for them. Once they were in the vehicle he was happy and driving them to the hotel. "This place is already pretty." Bryan mused looking around as they went.

 

"Hey Ash!" Asahi greeted happily his smile definitely growing. "I'll be sure he lets you guys know." Asahi promised taking his embarrassed date's hand in his and pulling him out of the house far to eager. The door closing behind him as he was happily leading the way into the woods thinking they could have a lot of fun running around and enjoying each other's company maybe even go on a hunt together since he had never seen Ash hunt and he was interested in seeing it.

[virtualoo]

"Woooow~!" Otso said once he saw the hotel, happy to be off of the plane. It was so gorgeous and it had such a high class feel to it while also looking like it had a sort of safari wildland feel to it. It was hard to explain. He kept on looking at the lobby while Bryan was checking them in, eager to see the room. "Lets goooo~!" he said eagerly, feeling so giddy he was wiggling a bit. He pecked his cheek on the way to the elevator, finally seeing their room. "Wooooah~! It has everything!" He said, letting his ears and tail finally come out. It had a full kitchen, a balcony with a wonderful view, and a- so many things!

 

Ash eased up when they were leaving the house, happily following the other through the woods that he was finally starting to get used to. "So..what's on the agenda for today?" He chuckled, eager to spend the time with him regardless. He found he liked the dates he went on with Asahi most of all out of all the dates he had been on so far.

[Sathenus]

Bryan loved how much Otso seemed to be amazed by the hotel lobby and then again by their room. "I thought we could eat out a bit but it'd be nice to have some home cooked... or room cooked meals too." Bryan replied as Otso was looking over the kitchen. The amenities in the room weren't anything new to Bryan who often travelled and did business trips, these were basic accommodations for coven members. So it was only natural when planning their honeymoon that he wanted the same amenities that he was used to. "I'm glad you like it. Now why don't you go check out the bedroom and start unpacking. I'll get a nice bath going. A great way to unwind after a long flight." Bryan suggested.

 

"Well, I thought we could explore the forests together and a hunt. Show you some of my favorite hunting places and just... have fun." Asahi replied when asked what was on the days agenda. "Sometimes it's nice to just be able to hang out in the forest without worry." Asahi added. The things he wanted to do with Ash was to help him familiarize himself with the land that he now called home while getting to know each other. It was helping Ash and it was helping them build a good relationship. A hunt together would be important as well. It'd let him know if they had compatible hunting styles which would be important to know especially if there was any hope for a more serious relationship.

[virtualoo]

"There is even a jacuzzi in here~!" Otso called out from the bathroom before hearing Bryans mentioning to look around the bedroom and to unpack. He eagerly got to work unpacking, putting his clothes in one of the dressers under a large tv. This room was incredible~! It felt so fancy and he loved all the new smells of an entirely different area that wasn't near or close to the pack house or town. He could not wait to explore, rolling around the rather large bed happily once he was done unpacking.

 

"That works for me!" Ash said, eager to go on a hunt in the woods even if his family was not there with him. "That does sound like a nice plan...I want to go to the zoo on our next date" Ash said happily, focusing back on their date right now. "Want to hang out for a bit first or start the hunt now?" He asked curiously, staying at the others side. He was itching for their hunt later, wondering how the other hunted down his prey, knowing similar hunting styles helped matches.

[Sathenus]

Bryan chuckled as Otso mentioned the jacuzzi in the bathroom. So cute. Bryan thought to himself seeing Otso dart off towards the bedroom had him shaking his head amused. Heading into the bathroom he started the water and added some bubbles knowing Otso would enjoy that. Once the bath was ready he was already slipping out of his clothes. "Baths ready!" Bryan called to his husband.though he was too eager and already sinking into the water with a very pleased sigh.

 

"I thought we could just hang out first." Asahi replied happily. After they had travelled for a bit he changed back to his wolf form blue eyes moving to Ash. A wolfish grin appeared on his muzzle playfully nudging Ash with his head before darting off. He had really enjoyed their run last time and he was so happy to be with Ash again that he was feeling quite playful.

[virtualoo]

Otsos ears perked up at the mention of the bath being ready. "Cooooming~!" Otso called out, eager to join the other in the tub. He loved it even more seeing the other already in there and waiting for him surrounded by bubbles. "Perfect" He said with a small smile, taking his time even if he was eager to jump in there so quick. He hummed in delight when he finally slipped into the warm water, leaning against the other.

 

Ash looked at the others wolf form, loving the striking blue eyes of the other that somehow looked even more lovely now. He watched the other dart off, quickly turning into his black panther form to dart after him. He loved the playful nature of them chasing each other, going after him with a bit more ease now that he was a bit more familiar with the woods.

[Sathenus]

There was definitely and observant gaze on his gorgeous husband as Otso was undressing. Feeling like the other was taking his time just to tease him and if he wasn't then it definitely didn't take much to tease him. Once Otso joined him he wrapped his arm around the smaller body kissing the top of his head. "This is the perfect way to relax after a day of traveling." Bryan sighed happily. "Maybe I could convince you to join me on business trips sometime?" He curiously asked the other.

 

Asahi loved running through the trees together. It was the first time he got to see Ash as a panther and he loved it. The other man looked so majestic and stunning. Even with them playfully chasing each other around he could admire the strength he could see. It was a lot of fun, more fun than he had I a long time though their first date had also been a lot of fun. Not to mention he already knew there'd be a third since Ash said he wanted to go to the zoo for their next date. Slowing down as they reached a river he huffed looking over the moving water before turning his gaze to Ash. Asahi had experience with the river but not what lied beyond it. That was where he wanted to explore with Ash but he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get him across the river. Turning back to the river he thought they could try to find a better place to cross. 

[virtualoo]

Ash kept following him, able to keep up as he watched the others form darting through the woods. It was this beautiful white and he probably looked even more gorgeous in the moonlight. He was about ready to pounce on him when he stopped, noticing the river. He still was a bit adverse to water and inched towards it, looking into the water. "Not too fond of water.." He said quietly, knowing it was not a likely jump to leap over its entirety which would mean he would have to walk right through it...batting the water with a paw. He knew the other wanted to go across and was not sure if there would be a better place. Just go...just go...you'll be fine just go..

 

Otso let out a quiet hum in agreement at this being a perfect way to top off all the travelling they had done. "Oh? Now that will be kind of fun...Having your hubby waiting for you after a long day of work" He pecked the others cheek, putting his tail away so it wouldnt splash too much from wagging happily

[Sathenus]

Asahi's ears turned hearing Ash speak saying he wasn't find of water. Asahi was already knee deep, the water not too far from reaching the fur on his stomach. Glancing around he looked to see if there was sleeting he could do when his eyes found a dead tree that was already tilted towards the river. "Come help me." Asahi said to Ash darting out of the water and over to the dead tree. Standing on his hind legs he put his front paws on the tree pushing against it. He could feel it give a little under his weight and knew with Ash they should be able to knock it down completely. Then the other could use it as a bridge while he had fun going through the water.

 

"That's a lovely thought." Bryan purred with a dirty smirk even if Otso may have meant it innocently. "Maybe I'd get lucky and my husband would be waiting for me in a special way." He said softly leaning down to catch his lips in a loving kiss. "We're going to have a great time here. Plenty to do and tons to see." Bryan said happily. For awhile they enjoyed the bath before Bryan decided they need to get out and get some food. Not sure about his husband but knowing he was absolutely starving.

[virtualoo]

Ash was happy he didn't have to brave the river for today, seeing the other had pointed out a dead tree. He followed the other when he was called, getting behind him. He got on his hind legs, placing his paws on either side of the others. "Ready" He said, waiting for the others cue to give it a sturdy push. The other wasn't so tiny in front of him like this but loved the soft texture of the others fur. He would need to ask Kaine to teach him to swim and help him with water...He was too embarrassed to ask Asahi.

 

"Naughty boy!" Otso said with a faint blush but didn't totally mind the idea. He kissed the other back lovingly before fully relaxing in the tub. He was reluctant to get out at first but he was hungry. He stepped out of the tub, shaking off the excess water before going to the kitchen, not bothering to put his pants back on.

[Sathenus]

Asahi definitely liked how close Ash was when he joined him and placed his paws on either side of his own. While he was much closer to Ash's size as a wolf while the other was a panther their paw sizes were quite different. He liked the feeling of Ash's fur on his back and had to shake his head to refocus. "Alright, in the count of three. One... two... three!" Asahi counted down pushing his weight hard against the tree when he said three. With Ash's added weight and strength it only took the two hard shoves to knock the tree down and make the bridge for Ash. "There!" Asahi said proudly happy to have managed to get the tree knocked down for Ash. He didn't want to make him do anything he wasn't comfortable with. Since the bridge was ready Asahi wasted no time bounding into the river with a happy look on his face splashing around far enough from the bridge that he wouldn't get Ash wet.

 

"Very." Bryan growled with a heated look. He could without a doubt be quite naughty but he knew Otso liked that side of him too. Setting his husband leaving the bathroom without clothes had him eyeing the other with a hungry look. Getting out he quickly dried himself wasting no time with clothes either and following Otso to the kitchen. "What are you hungry for?" He asked the other with a curious look. Opening the fridge to see what was in it.

[virtualoo]

Oh god did he love when Bryan looked at him with that heated look of his...he even growled! He swore he could pounce on him anytime he got like that,..He thought as the other opened the fridge. "Oh...I know what I am hungry for. As far as food, what did the hotel stock it with?" Otso asked as he peeked his head in, leaning against the others back.

 

Ash was able to help him get it down after the second shove, able to back off of him before he would fall onto the others back. He found the tree to be sturdy enough as he stepped onto it and started to walk across. He watched as Asahi seemed to have a lot of fun in the water splashing around like he was. Respectful and fun to be around...Asahi was pretty cool...He thought to himself as his heart thumped for a moment before focusing on reaching the other side. He waited for the other to return, going back into his human form

[Sathenus]

"Quite a bit." Bryan replied seeing that the fridge was fully stocked with different things. Sandwich meats, cheese, milk, butter some different options to drink and plenty more. Feeling Otso leaning against his back he glanced back to him with a smile. "Lets check the freezer." He added shutting the fridge and opening the freezer to see that it too was stocked. "How about... I make us some cheese burgers and fries?" Bryan questioned.

 

Asahi was having far too much fun in the river. Seeing Ash waiting for him had him bounding towards the other. Shaking his fur out once he was on shore before he as running over to Ash. Jumping up and licking his cheek before returning to his human form and catching the others lips in a kiss. Once their lips parted he smiled warmly up at Ash. "I'm glad you agreed to cross the river. I'll have to remember you're not a fan of water the next time we're adventuring out here." Asahi admitted. Feeling bad for not have taken that into consideration to begin with knowing that Ash want a werewolf. It was easy to forget when they seemed to be so prefect for each other. While other pack members had married vampires no one had ever been this close to another type of were much less a werecat.

[virtualoo]

Ash hummed happily into the kiss, feeling at ease with the other. "I do not like getting wet and also I can't swim..." He finally admitted, wanting to be honest with him. He felt like he could be honest with the other without judgement, even if swimming and water was a normal activity for werewolves. "You didn't know...Don't blame yourself, but thank you" He nuzzled the other with his head, happy the other was so considerate of him regardless.

 

"Sounds good to me...Hurry up though or I will get angsty and want to eat your meat instead" Otso said in his best attempt to be flirty. it only made him vey embarrassed, covering his bright red face. "That was soooo embarrassing~! But yes cheeseburgers please with tomatoes on mine" His voice came muffled from behind his hands.

[Sathenus]

Learning that Ash couldn't swim made him feel even worse bout having him cross the river. If something had gone wrong and the tree had broke or Ash had fallen off into the river he'd feel crap. Of course he would have gone after him and pulled him to shore but he never would have forgiven himself for putting him in danger like that. He pushed those thoughts aside as he was nuzzled and rushed for being considerate. Not getting like he really had been. "Well... Maybe some time I can come hang out with you at the lake and we can take it slow. Play in the shallows and maybe if you're feeling braver try swimming?" Asahi offered. He thought that if nothing else he could play around in the shallows with Ash to help him get over his fear of water.

 

"Keep talking like that and you'll have to regardless of how quickly I cook." Bryan growled with a heated look. He loved hearing Otso talk like that even if he saw how embarrassed his sexy husband was after. Getting everything he needed out he turned to his husband pulling his hands from his face. "Don't be embarrassed love. I love that side of you. I love this embarrassed side too but you definitely don't need to be embarrassed around me." Bryan told his husband. Leaning forward to kiss his husband before pulling away to start cooking.

[virtualoo]

Ash couldn’t help himself but smile at the other encouraging him and willing to take it slow. “Thank you Asahi, I really do” He said with another soft smile across his face. He nuzzled him again playfully before saying “Let’s get back to exploring now!” He said, eager to see what was on the other side of the river.

 

There it was again, damn it you sexy man~! Otso liked throwing him for a loop like that and surprising him, even if it was embarrassing. “Or just while you’re cooking...Keep focused love” He said, feeling like being playful again. He would definitely be surprising him with the naked walk when they got home at some point, knowing the other wouldn’t expect that. He got down on his knees, flicking his tongue over the others tip

[Sathenus]

Ash suggesting they go back to exploring causing Asahi's tail to reappear and start wagging quickly behind him in excitement. "Yes!" He replied pulling away but keeping Ash's hand in his as he started heading through the woods once more. Already knowing he wouldn't have a hard time finding this part of the river for them to cross back over. He loved the new and yet familiar scents in the air and the freedom that came with the forest. As they travelled further Asahi finally released Ash's hand to change back into a wolf to travel the land more easily.

 

Bryan gave his husband a curious look after he had placed a couple burger patties in a pan when he heard him speak about staying focused. He wasn't waiting long to figure out what he was talking about feeling his husbands tongue on his tip. Bryan hummed happily at the stimulation not minding this at all. Continuing to work on their dinner though his mind did keep getting side tracked it just meant his hands paused for a moment as well before he was focused and working on their food again.

[virtualoo]

Otso knew if he was in the others position he would have a harder time keeping his composure. But he liked jow composed he was, even if he knew it meant certain ‘punishment’ later for his boldness. He at one point took the other in his mouth, bobbing his head while fondling him.

 

Ash finally let go of the others hand, switching with him into his panther form. He wondered what kind of game laid on this side of the river, also curious about the unexplored territory. If he wasn’t focused on Asahi, he was taking in his surroundings

[Sathenus]

Bryan tried his best to stay composed and focused but that completely shattered for a moment when he felt Otso take him into his mouth. A deep growl escaping him as his eyes darted from what they had been doing down to his husband. He was just as aware as Otso was what tonight would hold for the other. Reaching down he rested a hand on his husband's head watching him for a moment and just enjoying the feeling. "If I didn't know any better I would think you like being punished." Bryan purred though he already knew his husband did. It wasn't like the punishments were actually meant to discourage his cute wolf after all. They didn't have that type of relationship.

 

It was fun to be running around with Ash again. Asahi would occasionally stop to sniff at scents that caught his attention. While they were running around and enjoying being able to explore Asahi came to an abrupt halt his ears pricked. Standing absolutely still as he was listening blue eyes scanning the area ahead of them. A scent had caught his attention that was familiar in the sense he could identify what the animal was and it was a bear. Now it was just a matter of figuring out if it was in the area still or if it had moved on but he was being very careful and watchful in determining that. Slowly moving forward to follow the scent, he could tell it was from today and not long ago. 

[virtualoo]

Despite still bobbing his head on the other, his cheeks did flush a little bit at the others growl and his words. He knew full well he was going to get punished but knew the other was right, he liked it when Bryan punished him. He loved pushing his buttons to the point of Bryan going ham on him or teasing him back.

 

Ash stopped when he noticed Asahi had froze up, picking up on a scent. He soon smelled it in the air, having no idea what it was. It was some sort of animal and he went to his basic instinct, keeping low to the ground and eyes darting between the trees
