He stepped into the Lounge, her lips twisted in an ironic smirk. The first place he'd visitted when he'd been trying to come to grips with his vampiric life, last December, had been the lounge. The very thought of it being merely last December made him stop in his tracks suddenly. So much had happened since that fateful night, so many changes in him, in his life. He'd met a beautiful young woman who turned out to be a vampire and turned him, fell for Becky's twin, was seduced by the Xeneri Matriarch, then fell for her only to be tossed aside like yesterday's bathwater. Then he'd fallen for two pyres, one he'd married and the other he felt drawn to, even if he rarely got to see him.
Giving himself a shake, he stepped further into the bar, moving right up to the bar itself. He had sent a note to Dri and hoped he'd gotten it, asking him to come and meet him there at the pub. "Scotch, neat," he ordered, then watched the bartender go scurrying off for his drink.

I'd been sitting at my desk in my study for the past half hour, looking over various reports and forms from my different businesses, after a few more minutes, I turned the display off with a frustrated swipe of my hand, by luck or good timing (one never could tell) Ethan happened to walk in just as I put the last of the few paper documents on my desk into a locked drawer, looking up I raised my eyebrow inquisitively, to which he only handed me a note in reply before withdrawing, I set it aside for just a bit as I finished securing all the sensitive information, then I turned back to read it, toying gently with the engagement ring on my right finger as I read it, after I'd finished I smiled softly, it'd been too long since I'd seen Michael.. and I hadn't been entirely well back then, truth be told my mind still gibbered a bit anytime I thought of him, but for the most part Akane had taken a broken me and made me whole again, not an altogether easy or speedy process, but he'd stayed by me, I smiled brightly at the memory as I got up to grab a light coat, my eyes turning that deep shade of crimson that made my pupils seem almost made of blood, the look they always took when I thought of Akane, I headed out the door with a brisk stride, using celerity on occasion to shorten the trip, arriving at the Lounge, I walked in, my eyes quickly finding Michael, I walked up behind him silently, then just stood there, wondering if we were still as tuned into eachother as once we had been

It hadn't taken long for the bartender to get him his scotch. It wasn't like it was a hard drink to make since all you needed to do was get a glass and pour the scotch in. When it was brought to him he nodded to the man then took a sip before straightening his hip-length black leather jacket. He seemed to always be wearing that jacket as well as his dark blue jeans and black shirt.
As he was starting his second glass of scotch he suddenly felt a familiar presence behind him. She knew he was there without even turning around, though he wasn't sure if this whole thing was such a good idea. The last time he'd seen Dri he'd fallen apart. It had been all he could do to hold him.
Slowly he turned, his glass settling upon the bar, and got to his feet. He stepped up to the other man and reached for him, then pulled his hands back, fearing that Dri would shy away from him again. His eyes travelled over his face, his body, checking for changes, a hesitant smile upon his face.

I smiled in mild humor as I saw his hesitation "Afraid I'll break down into a gibbering blob again?" I teased lightly, trying to put that period of my life off lightly, as something that had happened and was to be ignored, then I turned to the bartender and said "Burbon on the rocks" before watching him hurry off to fill the order

He heard the tone of his voice and it was obvious that he was poking fun at the way he'd been the last time they'd seen each other. He cast his eyes down, not sure what to say to that, what to do now. He saw the bartender to hurrying off so he reached onto the bar and picked up his scotch, bringing the liquid to his lips. Once he'd taken a sip he said, "You look good Dri, like you're doing much better. I'm sorry I've not been around..." He cleared his throat as he tried to catch his eye, his head tipped to the side.

I waved my hand dismissively at his apologies "I'm sure you had your reasons" I said, smiling a bit forcedly, 'Besides, you can only miss someone so much' I thought sadly to myself as the barman brought my drink, I took a small sip to savor the flavors before sitting it back down on the table, my clear blue eyes finding his seeking lavender ones easily even after all this time

He could tell that the smile wasn't sincere, that there was something more behind it and he sighed. As their eyes met once more he felt drawn in by those wonderful blue eyes. He moved closer to him, his eyes upon his more intently. "I have missed you Dri," he whispered softly, his voice just barely heard above the din of the Lounge. "I haven't been around much of anyone... even Anna..." he whispered, dropping his face so that his eyes were upon the glass in his hands.

I reached up to catch his chin, pulling his gaze up to meet mine again "I missed you too" I said softly "And like I said, I'm sure you had your reasons, I don't hold it against you" I smiled at him gently "You're always going to have a place in my life, even if it's not the same as the one you had" I continued, my thumb stroking his cheek softly, sure that he could feel the cool metal of the ring against his skin, wondering if he would ask or not

There was a flutter in his stomach as he felt Dri's hand catch his chin and his face was lifted back toward his again. "But I should have been here for you and..." his voice trailed off as he felt his thumb caressing his cheek and felt the coolness of metal along his cheek. He lifted his hand to Dri's, placing it over the other man's as he felt the ring there. After hearing the words he sighed, dropping his face once more, "I understand," he whispered softly.

I chuckled softly "What, you think this writes you out of my life and your former position entirely?" I asked "Admittedly Akane might need more of an explanation than Anna did, but I promise, I'm not writing you out of my life, besides, I have all night to spend with you" I said, hoping he got the hint

He looked back up into Dri's eyes as he heard his chuckle, their eyes connecting once more. Then he hears another man's name and it doesn't register for he doesn't know that pyre. He couldn't help but chuckle though, as he heard that they had all night. "Well..." he began as one hand moved back to carressingly run through his hair, drawing him even closer. "It just so happens that I have all night too..." he sayed softly before leaning in and pressing his lips to Dri's in a soft, loving kiss.

As our lips touched, I found myself returning the kiss, gently, passionately, as I pulled away after a few minutes, I realized as much as I loved Akane, I couldn't give this up, I wanted to spend my forever with Akane, be his in heart and name, but I just couldn't pull myself away from Michael's gentle ways, it was almost a balance, Akane's aggressive sadistic and masochistic side matched mine, the same as Michael's gentle self fit so well with that half of me, through it all the constant fear of losing Akane lingered in my mind, even as I rose to take Michael's hands and pull him with me out the doors towards our usual romping grounds
