*He twitched uncomfortably as they drew closer to the doors. While subconsciously he knew that shit would be okay, he was still nervous. He and T had gone through something similar once before, as Am was like his baby sister. But he hadn't actually seen Ry in years. And... yeah. The years before that hadn't been pretty. He knew without even thinking that this entire evening was going to be fucking painful. The door swung open to silence. Raising a brow, he tightened his hand on Illy's slightly in reassurance. Let's hope dipshit managed to keep the past from being shared over dinner, cause that would fucking ruin an appetite.* Assuming they're in the kitchen. Are you ready for this, little bit? There's still time to hop a flight to anywhere-but-here.

*Biting my lip nervously, I glance up at Kaden and smile* It'll be okay. If not we'll move far, far away. *Holding onto Kaden's hand, I slowly walk us through that house. T's cooking smelt better and better the closer we got to the kitchen. Glancing at the dinning room table, I push open the door and come face to face with the most uncomfortable silence I have ever felt. Slightly panicked, I look up at Kaden to see he felt it too. Clearing my throat to get their attention, I try to smile a little* We're here.
Ailwin Ryann |PF|
*They'd all gone silent as Turstin had begun cooking. Am had set the table. He stood around and glared. Wasn't much good for anything else at the moment. He heard the moment the door latch clicked open. Every muscle tensed in preparation of beating some sense into a fucking asshole until he agreed to tuck tail and run, never looking back. As the footsteps got closer, his tiger wound higher. Standing to his feet as Illy cleared her throat, he glanced dismissively at the male standing next to her before opening his mouth to say something to her. Clarity hit in a split second before the words actually formed. What he'd been intending to say came out as a snarl, teeth bared. Had he not smelled the bonding scent of the two, he'd slaughter the fucker where he stood* You fucking ignorant asshole. Had enough of slumming it, so you go after my fucking sister? *He made it to the male in barely two steps until they were nose to nose* Leave. Your depraved shit doesn't belong anywhere near her.
Turstin Ryann |PF|
*Turstin barely had enough time to register that Kaden was Illy's mate when Ailwin damn near went crazy. Stepping forward* Ailwin. Kaden is a friend. So calm your tits. Plus, don't you smell it? They are bonded, we can't kill him without killing her. And honestly, it could probably be worse.
Amethyst Ayesha |PF|
*If she'd had any doubts, seeing the two of them together had pushed them aside. She'd never seen Illy look so sure of herself, secure in her own skin. Kaden for the first time looked like years of weight had been lifted from his shoulders. The difference in both, in even such a short time, was startling. She threw Kaden a reassuring smile before Ailwin literally lost his shit. Her eyes wide, she glanced between the two of them. Mouthing "What the hell?" towards Turstin, he shrugged, hesitantly moving towards her as if to protect her if fists started flying. Curling her arm around his waist, her gaze danced between the other three. She had known Kaden all his life, and she had no damn idea that he and Ailwin had known each other. Or that there apparently was some kind of history. This could actually end up being rather entertaining.*
Kaden Kaleva |PF|
*Knowing that Ry wouldn't touch him. Or, well, at least wouldn't kill him made him not give a fuck at the moment. His lip curled as he kept the tiger's gaze, refusing to look away even as he could sense that Illy was starting to worry.* From where I'm standing, you barely fucking know your sister. I'm the one that was there when she needed me. So fuck your attitude and fuck you. If I leave, she comes with me. So you're pretty much fucking screwed, Ry. But then again, that's nothing new, is it?
Illy Ryann |PF|
*Turstin's reaction was pretty much as I expected but nothing could have prepared me for Ailwin's reaction or more to the point Kaden's reaction to Ailwin's reaction* Wait a second, you two know each other? *Neither of them looked away from each other and it seriously pissed me off. Stepping between both of them, I put a hand on each other their chest* How about we calm the hell down, shall we? *Looking at Kaden* That is my brother you are talking to, so stop being a jerk. *Looking at Ailwin* He is my mate, Ailwin. I am happy with him and he is happy with me. Also, you lay one hand on him and I'll rip it off myself.
Ailwin Ryann |PF|
*He softened his expression slightly as Illy stood in between them, but K's words paired with his smirk pissed him right the fuck off again* You really wanna do this, K? Yep, that's me, always fucking screwed. Lucky me I never got lonely. Remember Bogota? How 'bout Amsterdam? Lots of shady little fucking memories I got stored up, you asswipe. You wanna stand here and pretend you've changed, but I know damn well our tastes don't change. You're just as fucking deviant as you were then. I fucking don't want your shit tainting my goddamned sister. She deserves better than you. Hell, she deserves anything but you. We use women, K. We don't mate them.
Kaden Kaleva |PF|
*He hissed as 3 separate pairs of eyes turned to him and Ailwin both.* You're a goddamned fool. You always were. Shady memories, my ass. You were right there with me, sick fucks both of us. *He growled low at the implication that he didn't deserve his mate, which made him almost reach for the tiger's throat but Illy standing between them stopped him* You use women, Ry. I may have at the time but I didn't fucking love them. They were strangers. There's a goddamned difference. I'm in love with your sister, I can't treat her that way. She fucking deserves to be loved.
Illy Ryann |PF|
*Glancing between both of them, I haven't the faintest idea what to say. Something about Columbia and them both being depraved. Biting my lip, I look over my shoulder to Am and T, both of which seem to be watching the show while eating the dinner T made. Great. Turning back to the matter at hand* Would you two just stop, this isn't going to change anything. *Suddenly Kaden's words register and I turn to face him with a smile on my face* You love me? *For the first time in almost 20 minutes, Kaden breaks eye contact with Ailwin to look down at me* I love you too, K. *Reaching my hand up, I brush the hair back from his eyes*
Ailwin Ryann |PF|
Jesus. *Muttering under his breath as Illy seemed to have completely lost the teeth she'd just grown, he slammed his fist against the wall in frustration. How the hell could he argue with this shit? How could he stomach knowing the fuck was sleeping with his baby sister, knowing their past? Their appetites didn't change. Hell, he was living proof, wasn't he? Ever alone. That's how it was. You just adjusted. Grimacing, he turned on his heel, dropping into his seat at the table, taking a huge drink of whatever the hell Am had poured into the glasses.* Hurt her, K, and there won't be a place on this entire fucking earth you can run. That I promise you.
Kaden Kaleva |PF|
*Blinking, he broke eye contact to glance down at Illy as Ailwin stormed off to the table. The fucker had opened a can of worms that he hadn't actually wanted to open in front of the people who he respected for the most part. Closing his eyes as Illy's fingertips traced his temples, he gave her a small smile before capturing her hand to press his lips to her knuckles. For the first time he was actually aware of what the others had mentioned. The air around them seemed to thicken, their scents blending together into something wholly new.* Yeah. Probably shouldn't have just shouted that shit, but I meant it. *Tugging at her arm, he led her to their seats, his cheeks flushing as both Am and T gave him interested looks. Shit was going to be uncomfortable for a few days while this night and it's various bombshells wore the hell off* So. Yeah. Illy and Am want a family dinner. *Giving Ailwin a nod, he ended up just shaking his head. To be honest, silence from Ailwin was actually a good thing. Meant he'd run out of shit to argue about and they'd manage to move on eventually.*
Illy Ryann |PF|
*Smiling at Kaden, I glance across the table and see Ailwin not looking at anyone. For some reason the sight suddenly makes me want to cry. Was he not my big brother anymore? Was he disappointed in me? I just got him back and now it felt like I lost him again. A lump forms in my throat and I try to eat past it but it's hard to do. Setting my fork aside, I see Kaden look at me. Doing my best to smile but failing miserably* I'm not really hungry. *Looking around at Am and T, I give them the same failing smile and look down at my plate. Figures, I do my best to prove to my brothers that I can take care of myself and now I'm getting all choked up because Ailwin now hates me. Awesome*
Ailwin Ryann |PF|
*He could hear it in her voice. See it in her posture as he glanced her way. He'd somehow managed to fucking upset her again. Sighing heavily, he watched as K wrapped his arm around her shoulders, putting her fork back into her hand and urging her to eat. Hell. This was why he stayed away. He was no good with this emotional bullshit and treading on thin ice to not sink the damn ship. Clearing his throat, he raised his gaze as she glanced to him* Eat, little sister. K and I... shit's complicated. You don't put two assholes together and expect 'em to get along without some blows. But if you are happy, that is all that matters to me. I can't promise I won't hit the smug fuck, but it won't be because of you, it'll be cause he's a goddamned prick most of the time.
Illy Ryann |PF|
*I try to smile at him* I love you Ailwin and I'm afraid your going to just disappear again. *Grabbing onto Kaden's hand, I let out a breath* I think things will get better in time.
Turstin Ryann |PF|
*T motions between Ailwin and Kaden with his fork* Did you miss the last half hour? They are probably going to beat the shit out of each other at some point but don't worry. I won't let them kill each other. *Clearing his throat, T looks at Illy* And don't worry. We aren't going anywhere. *He stares meaningfully at Ailwin* We are a family and we aren't going our separate ways again.
Amethyst Ayesha |PF|
*She almost laughed out loud at Turstin's matter of fact tone, but she held it in. Figured, things had just started sort of calming down and it was her male that had to mention more fighting. Reaching her hand under the table, she gave his thigh a small squeeze. She was grateful that they meshed together so easily, really. She truly was a lucky female. The fates could have landed her with a grouch like Ailwin. Resisting a shudder, she caught herself glancing between the two males again. Ailwin returning her look with a glare of his own. Kaden didn't appear to really see anyone but Illy at this point, which was rather adorable but she'd kiss her ass goodbye if she actually said that out loud.*
Amethyst Ayesha |PF|
*She'd have to get Kaden alone and bully him for a bit later, because that was a friendship that she simply had to know how it had happened. Though, if she knew her best friend as well as she thought she did, Illy was likely to get the deets before Am herself did. As the sounds of forks hitting plates and small bits of chatter resumed, she took a sip of wine, leaning her head on Turstin's shoulder. They were a screwed up family. But she honestly wouldn't change it for the world, assholes and all.*
*Biting my lip nervously, I glance up at Kaden and smile* It'll be okay. If not we'll move far, far away. *Holding onto Kaden's hand, I slowly walk us through that house.
