Jerold Swiftblade's Story

After almost a full day of driving, Erorn and Luther finally made it to Blackwood Manor. Erorn was a little frustrated that he had to stop and get directions, it had been so long since he had been to his childhood home. When they pulled into the entrance Erorn couldn't help but smile, Luther, however had fallen asleep with his head on Erorn's shoulder. "Wake up, babe, we're home." It felt good to say the words. It was his home no matter how long he had been gone and he missed it terribly.

As he pulled the horses to a stop he looked to the giant doors and saw what looked like an older and slightly taller version of himself come out of the house.

"Uncle Jerry!" He shouted at him before jumping off the wagon to go give him a big hug. "It's so good to see you." He said trying to hold back his tears of happiness.

"Oh my gods, little Erorn, is that you? You've gotten so... well not big, but you got older." He chuckled seeing how little Erorn had grown since he had last seen him. "But you still got that full sized temper, I bet."

"Yeah." He said. "Oh this is my... " He paused a second. He hadn't thought about what to call him. He wasn't gonna start hiding shit now, it's not like he could kick him out of the house he owned. "Boyfriend. His brother should be coming here in a few days too and he's also my boyfriend, best not to ask questions, I don't think I could explain it if I wanted to." He smiled.

They went into the mansion and looked around. It was just as he remembered. He figured it would be best to relax before getting the stuff off the wagon.

"Erorn, can I talk to you for a second?" Jerry asked.
"Sure." He replied as Jerry took him aside out of Luther's hearing range.
"What the hell are you doing with him?" He whispered. "Do you know who that is?"
"Uh... Luther Silverson?" He questioned. "But I'm wondering how you know who he is."
"That's Samael Silverson's son. And you're his and his brother's boyfriend? How does that even work?"
"They're nice guys, Uncle Jerry, give them a chance."
"I'm not worried about how nice they are. It's their father I'm worried about. He's pissed at them and he's been looking for them for years, now. He's even showed me pictures of them so I could tell him if I ever saw them." He sighed when he saw the look on Erorn's face. "Gods you got your mother's face, too damn cute for your own good. Look, I'm retired now, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue, but occasionally my old work associates show up here and if they see you, they might tell Samael. So let me answer the door, okay?"

"Sure thing." He smiled and gave him a big hug.
Jerry smiled too. "So much like your mother." He sighed.

Luther woke up and looked over the mansion. "Wow..." He said before getting out with Erorn. He didn't say anything. If anything he faded into the background until Erorn called him out. "Hello." He said simply and the walked in. It felt weird to be told that he and his brother were someone's boyfriend. It wasn't a normal thing. When his uncle took him out of the room Luther decided to walk around and ended up finding some stairs in the back. Curiosity got to him and decided to go up there and give it a peek. A peek turned into a him walking around a lot more than he should have.

Luther became lost. "Why did I leave?" He mumbled to himself. He decided on just sticking to a room. He laid on one of the beds. "Well at least it is a nice room to die in. They are never going to find me." He mopped and rolled around on the bed. "What did I ever do to deserve such a harsh death?!" He cried out.

Erorn went back to the main living room where they had left Luther. He looked around the room and saw that he wasn't there. "Luther!" He called out, but got no response. He went outside and checked to see if he started bringing the stuff inside. He wasn't there either. He went back to the living room. "Okay, if I were Luther, where would I go?" He saw the stairs and followed them up to the second floor. He started opening all the doors until he finally found the room where Luther was crying about being lost.

"Really, Luther?" He asked with a bit of frustration in his voice. "We've been here ten minutes and you've already gotten yourself lost." He smiled. "And you managed to find my old bedroom of all places to get lost." His grin went a little devilish. "Hmmm, you're laying in my childhood bed." He sat down next to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Don't go exploring without me okay."

Erorn blushed when Luther called him handsome. "Okay, ya big cheese ball, let's go." he laughed before kissing his cheek. He took him through the house, showing him all the guest rooms, the bathrooms, the kitchen, the dining room, and a few other key points of the house. The layout of the house was second nature to him and there was never any real danger of Erorn getting lost. When the tour was done, he noticed that Jerry had made dinner for the three of them.

"Awe, Uncle Jerry, you didn't have to do that for us."

"It's no problem, sit eat." Jerry said. "We have a lot of catching up to do."

Erorn instinctively pulled out Luther's chair for him like a gentleman before sitting down himself right next to him.

"Yeah, we do." Erorn sighed as he started to load his plate with food. "Where do you want to start?"

"Well, you could start with the night of the accident. Where did you go, why did you run away?"

"I saw what had happened, in a vision. It scared me, I ran first to try and find them, then I just kept running and eventually I was picked up by the police and put into the foster system. No one ever thought to look into who my parents were or if I had family. I'm sorry I worried you for so many years. Hopefully we can make up for lost time." He gave a sheepish smile.

"So how did you come to be... involved with the Silverson boys?" He asked as best he could without trying to be offensive to Luther.

"Well, that's a long story. Basically I was a guard for the Prince, he fell for me, I left him, I was kidnapped, the prince didn't want me, and I fell in love with my kidnappers. We have a very... special relationship." He turned to Luther and smiled. "But it works."

"I can see that. You're eyes shine the way your father's did when he met your mother. Never let anyone try to shame you for your love."

Luther walked with him during the tour and tried to take notes. He knew already he was going to end up lost again. When they got to the end of tour there was food. Erorn had pulled out his seat and he sat, scooting in and looking at him for a moment. Luther didn't talk as they ate. He hid in the background, like he did so many times before. He was feeling awkward and hated being talked about in front of his face. He wished James was here.

What got him was the fact that he didn't even care that Erorn got kidnapped in the first place. Luther glared a bit before there was a knocking at the door. He looked out the window and saw the familiar carriage and the feelings of James. "James..." was all he said before going back to eating.

Erorn found it odd that Jerry seemed so nonchalant about everything that had happened. He raised an eyebrow of concern at him. He was about to question him on this when Luther announced that James was there. He smiled. "If you will excuse me, my other boyfriend has arrived." He said with a slightly condescending tone.

He went to the door and opened it to see James. He gave him a huge hug and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm so glad you're here. Come on in we're just starting dinner and you must be tired." He brought James to the dinning room and introduced him to Jerry.

"I was just explaining to Uncle Jerry how you and Luther had kidnapped me." He looked at him with a bit of a glare. "Kind of odd that you didn't seem at all worried about that."

Jerry was able to feel the tension being directed toward him as he watched Erorn seat James as he did Luther.

"I'm not a good man, I'll be the first to admit that. Samael is far worse than I am, I'm sure his two sons would agree. If he hates the two of them so much that he wants them dead, I'd say that must make them some pretty decent young men. So yes, they kidnapped you because of, the prince was it? But the fact remains that you're here now, with these young men who you care about and who obviously care about you, so what good does it do any of us for me to be upset with them about something that has brought the three of you together and brought you back home?" Jerry explained.

"Forgive me, Uncle. I've been in a lot of situations lately that have worn down my trust. I meant no disrespect."

Erorn went back to eating. The joy of having both his men here with him making his silly grin appear on his face again.

Luther and James were feeling awkward in this situation. When they were done Luther collected all the dishes so he could wash them and get away from everyone. Shockingly he knew where the kitchen was again. James sat there with Erorn and his uncle. "If you excuse me I am going to go have a talk with my brother."

He left the two by themselves as he returned to his brother's side. "So your eyes have seen father coming towards the old house. I lead him away from it and towards the south where I heard there might be a way. Hopefully he will get stuck in there... or worse." He whispered.

Luther continued washing and nodded. "Good, that means he won't be coming here for a while."

James nodded and the stood in silence for a bit until he spoke, "So what was that whole blocking me out thing about. You did it more than once." He asked.

Luther smirked, "Just a bit of this and that. Didn't want to bother you with any of it." He said before looking back at his brother.

James glared, "I see... "

Erorn nodded to his uncle and excused himself as well. He didn't go into the kitchen however. He was being hit by overwhelming emotions right at the moment and he knew that if he went into the room where his mother spent most of her time, he'd end up crying until he dehydrated himself. He instead went to his father's study. He went to his desk and sat in the chair in front of it. He was always sitting there and watching his father work as a kid. His eyes began to water up. It was like he was seeing him fresh in his mind, the last night he spent in that house. He stood back up and walked around to the book shelf behind the desk. He remembered walking in to see his father standing at the shelf all the time, he always was looking at the same book. Erorn ran his fingers along the books, it was clear from the thick layer of dust that no one had been in here since his parents had died. He pulled out the book on the shelf, the only one with a blue cover. The shelf began to rumble and slid across the floor.

"What the fuck?" he said as he took a look into the room behind the shelf. It was a vault with stacks of gold, cash and priceless items. He saw a couple of items that caught his eye, but he didn't touch anything. He left the room and pushed the shelf closed. He walked out of the study and back down to the living room. He took a book off the shelf and sat on the couch waiting for James and Luther to come back from the kitchen. His emotions were getting to him and just being in the house was making him miss his parents.

James was the one to come out the kitchen first with Luther behind him. "Hey, babe..." He said softly so that Erorn's uncle wouldn't hear. "Could you show us to our rooms? We kind of need to unpack." Luther nodded. They wanted to get everything done as soon as possible, especially since Erorn's uncle knew their father. They weren't going to be as naive as Erorn and straight up trust him.

Erorn looked up at James, his eyes still glistening with tears. "Yeah, sure." He said fighting back the tears. He took James to one of the guest rooms next to his own "You can stay in this one, and Luther can that one." He pointed to the one on the other side of his room. "One of you on each side of me, I think I will like that." He smiled but it was clear that it was one of his fake smiles. He hugged James out of nowhere. "I'm glad you're here." He said choking up a little on the words. "I hope you don't get too mad at him, but Luther and I... got closer. It was my idea, so go easy on him. But it's what you wanted, I got through most of his walls and he started opening up to me." He smiled.

James and Luther had just put things away in their rooms when Erorn called them into his. James came in first and laughed softly. When Luther walked in he about died. He walked over to Erorn's trunk with clothes and walked out. He walked around trying to find a good place to hid it.

James shook his head and chuckled, "Looks like all you are going to be wearing now is your kid clothes." He took that time to walk over to him and pull him closer, kissing him deeply. "I have missed you." He whispered. "Are you okay?"

Luther found the perfect hiding spot that he knew Erorn would never look and turned around. He was lost again. He walked to the nearest room and opened it to find Unlce JJ. Luther's lips curled into a smirk. "Well hello, Uncle JJ." He said with flirtatiously and winked.

Erorn looked up at James, he gave a gentle grin and squeezed him tight. "I just didn't realize it would be this hard. There's just so many memories in here. I didn't think they'd all come back and hit me at once." He said. "I thought this would cheer me up." He laughed. "It does look good on me though." He smiled looking into his closet. "I had pretty good taste for a ten-year-old. I think I can fit in most of it still. Oh, by the way, you might want to find Luther, if he hasn't come back yet, he's probably lost."

Meanwhile, Jerry got a little startled. "You must be lost. Down the hall, first right then two lefts." He said with a smirk at his comment. "Oh, by the way, treat my little Erorn good. He's the only family I have left and I don't want him to get hurt. Now go have fun." He chuckled.

James sent for Luther and Luther sent back a calmed emotion. "Luther is okay, he isn't panicking... which means you are going to have to wear your kid clothes for a while. Nine out of ten Luther has hid them." James chuckled. He sat down on Erorn's bed. "Well it is best you deal with the emotions as soon as possible, staying too long into the sad ones can... become rather bad for you." He said softly. He looked over Erorn and smiled. "I love ya, Kid..."

Luther closed the door behind him. "Down the hall, first left, then two rights, right?" He asked, looking like he was confused before taking a seat in one of the chairs. "I can only treat him as good if he wants me near him. Right now him and my brother are having their... whatever. So it is me and you, Uncle JJ. I can see where Erorn gets his good looks." Luther smiled.

"I Love you, too, James. And Luther too, but don't tell him yet, I want him to say it first." Erorn grinned. "I think I'll be okay, I'm even finding things around here I never knew about. There's a vault in my Dad's old study I never knew about. I mean I was ten, so that's not a big surprise, but still it's kind of odd." He said. "You know me, babe, I couldn't keep my emotions bottled up if I wanted to. It's getting late, how about you help me try to get this hoodie off so we can get to bed?" He grinned devilishly.


Jerry looked at Luther with a sideways glance. "You're a kind man, Luther. And I'm flattered. But if you keep going the direction I think you're going with this you will be sadly disappointed. I'm not exactly into... well let's not get into that. The point is you're barking up the wrong tree. But thanks for the compliment. "

James looked over Erorn, "What? You can't keep it on forever? I am so disappointed." He smiled and got up. He grabbed the bottom of Erorn's hoodie and lifted the it over his head and threw it on the bed. "There, was that so hard?" He asked before sliding his own clothes off and climbed into bed. "Pretty comfortable bed for being so old." He said. James sat on his legs and fluffed his pillow.

Luther frowned a bit, "Is it because I am not womanly enough? Or is is because you just don't like it in general?" He stretched, "either way..." Luther sat up and glared at him. "Enough play talk. We aren't Erorn, you are way too damn friendly to be from the black market. It would be ashamed that Erorn had to lose his only family member because he played his card wrong." Luther smiled and got up, walking to the door, and looking back. "Thanks for the directions, Uncle JJ." He said before leaving and getting to his room. He started a fire and checked out the room. A secret door opened. "Hot damn." He whispered before closing it. Luther wasn't about to get in and get lost inside the damn walls.

James thought about it and smirked, "I think I would be okay with that." He whispered and held him close.



Luther, James, and Erorn seemed to settle in nicely with only a few more awkward situations. Luther decided to go back to escorting, but outside of the house. He also found himself loving to pick on Uncle JJ everyday. It has started to snow more in the recent days keeping Luther stuck in the house. He found his way through the house in just his boxer briefs and found Uncle JJ. "Hey there handsome." He draped himself over him.

James was dancing with Erorn in one of the rooms and tilted him back before pulling him back up and began to slow dance him around. "Any reason why you aren't drafted to war? I am sure Marcus knows you are here." He asked.

Erorn loved dancing with James. He looked into James' eye and smiled a soft smile. "I don't really know why he hasn't tried to draft me. Probably too scared that I'll get hurt. Not that I'm complaining, it gives me more time to spend with my boys." He said before giving James a big kiss.

Jerry let out a loud sigh as Luther draped himself over him. "Don't you ever get tired of this? It's not that you aren't an attractive man, I'm just not attracted to anyone." He said. "Couldn't those moves be better used on your clients, or someone who is in love with you?" He hinted as even he was able to tell at this point. It seemed like Luther would never say it to Erorn first.

Luther thought about it and patted Uncle JJ's head, "Nope, I don't get tired of it. I quite like it, indeed. It flatters me than you think I am an attractive man." He smirks before moving over to a futon and laid there. "I can't leave because of the snow and James is with Erorn. So I turned to my one true love." He looked at Uncle JJ and made a face like someone who was in love would. "You, Uncle JJ." He smirked.

James kissed him back, "I guess that is a good thing. More time I get to spend with you..." He said softly. James knew that Marcus would ride with his army to war so he felt better knowing Marcus wasn't coming for Erorn. When the song ended James went sit down. "So I see Luther has attached himself to your uncle." He chuckled.

"Yeah, I noticed that too. I know he's just having fun and all, but I swear Uncle Jerry has the patience of a saint." He chuckled before his face went a little more serious. "So is he playing a fucking game of chicken or something? I mean, he must know how I feel right? Does he know I'm waiting for him to say it first? Is he trying to break me?" He asked. He felt a little awkward asking James. It was like asking him to invade Luther's privacy. But Erorn could tell that Luther felt deeply for him, he just wanted him to say it. He was glad that they couldn't see into Erorn's mind right now, he had a plan but he wasn't going to go through with it until Luther said he love Erorn.

James frowned, "Luther will say it when he is ready, Erorn. You can feel deeply for someone and not say I love you ever. I think he is hanging around your uncle because it is like the older version of you and he doesn't have to really fight anything. It helps that your uncle doesn't like anyone." He smiled. "When Luther is around your uncle he is calm, he doesn't feel nervous like he does when he is around you." James looked Erorn over. "What are you planning?" He asked.

Erorn looked up at James with a conniving grin. "I can't tell you, it's a surprise." He smiled. "It's not that don't think he likes me, it's just... I want to do something nice and that would just make it better." He didn't say anything more of his plans and he dropped the subject for the time. "I hope Uncle Jerry doesn't hurt him." He joked.

Jerry decided to give Luther a taste of his own medicine. He walked over to the couch where Luther had sprawled out. Jerry knew he hadn't fallen asleep yet, but his eyes were closed. He reached down and pulled the elastic waist band of his boxer briefs and let it go with a snap. "Don't give me that crap, I'm not your true love. It's clear that sleeping is obviously your true love.” He chuckled before going to the library to read.

James glared at Erorn for a bit and sighed, "I just hope it doesn't backfire. You don't have to deal with his overpowering emotions." He got up and gently shoved Erorn against the wall, kissing him softly. "I can always torture the plan out of you." He whispered, biting the tip of his ear a bit harder than gentle. His hand traveled up Erorn's shirt.

"You can torture me all I... I mean you like, but I won't tell you. It's a surprise for you too." He smirked. "But don't stop what you're doing." Erorn said. He grabbed James and pulled him close and kissed him passionately. He pulled away for a second. "So I was wondering... I've gotten really close to both of you guys... individually, but could we maybe try getting close all together one night soon." Erorn's eyes seemed to glow with lust.

James moved away, "Maybe." he said. "If Luther doesn't want to, no point in trying to force it." James was shaking his head at what Luther was feeling right now.

Erorn felt a little embarrassed by what he had just asked. "Well it doesn't have to happen if either of you aren't comfortable with it. I don't want things to get weird between us." He smiled back up at him the lust gone from his eyes. "C'mere, let's cuddle" he said as he went to the couch and patted the side next to him. He was afraid that he had offended James.

Jerry was sitting in the library reading and he heard Erorn's voice through the wall. He didn't want to get involved in what he was hearing. He knew that they'd work it out, young lovers always did. He heard a knock on the door. "I got it." he called out out of habit, not that he actually thought someone else would get it. He opened the door and saw one of his old associates at the door.
"Hey there, Jerry, I got a client looking for some merchandise and we both know you got the best weapons around. Any chance you could slip a few swords and axes to him?"

"I'm retired, Lenny, go get your stuff from one of the other weapon smiths." Jerry replied dryly before slamming the door in his face. He was going to go back to the library again, but instead he figured he'd get Luther one more time. He stopped back in the room where Luther was still laying on the couch. He saw he was laying on his stomach. He walked up behind him and slapped his ass. "Hey put some clothes on or stoke the fire, you're gonna freeze running around here like that." He chuckled.

James sighed and shook his head, "I am going find Luther." He said and walked out.

Luther sighed and mumbled fine before walking out. He was half way to his room when James came up to him. "Yo yo yo, bro ho." He said tiredly.

"You want to explain your emotions a bit ago?" James asked.

"Nope." Luther said before side stepping and going into his room. James followed. "Maybe you sho-"

"I am leaving once the snow goes down enough for the carriage to go through." Luther interrupted.

"What?!" James whispered. "What the hell are you leaving?"

"Because, I am tired of being cooped up in here like I am fucking hiding. It was a better risk living back at our old home. I didn't have to hid from a fucking knock at the door. The war is happening, father went that way, and nothing seems to be happening. I will go back to the islands and check up on Rylie. We haven't heard from him in a while, probably because Oh he... we moved." Luther slipped on some sweat pants and a long-sleeved shirt. "You have anything else you wanted to say before you leave?" He asked.

"Erorn has some sort of plan." He said. Luther groaned. "Great and let me guess... you have no idea what it is?" James nodded.

"Well tell him don't." Luther said.

"Are you really going to do this?" James asked.

"I think you should go." Luther said, warning in his voice. James sighed and walked out before going to his own room.

Erorn heard the doors to both of their rooms shut, but he couldn’t hear what they were saying. He went back upstairs to his own room and locked the door. He opened the desk drawer and pulled out the false bottom that was there. Inside the small space were the two items he saw in his dad's vault that had caught his eye. Two rings, both with a nearly flawless stone in the top. The first was a sapphire the other was a ruby and they reminded him of each of the guys. The sapphire was cool and calming like Luther and the ruby was fiery and passionate like James. Each of them were priceless just like James and Luther. He smiled and thought about how he wanted to do it. He wanted to make them a meal and at the end give them a glass of wine with the rings at the bottom of the glass. He wanted to marry them both. He knew he couldn't do it legally, but he could at least have a ceremony. But he wanted to make sure Luther felt the same way, he already knew James did.

Luther and James didn't leave their room for the rest of the night. The next morning Luther went check and sure enough the snow went down to where the carriage could go through. He packed his stuff, or just enough for clothes, and went get the horse and carriage ready before sliding his stuff into it. James cames down, "You seriously going to leave without saying anything to Erorn?" He asked.

Luther turned around, "Can't you just tell him?" He said trying to hurry and leave before Erorn got up.

"Why the hell would I do that? You can be man enough to fucking tell him." James growled.

"It isn't like I am fucking leaving forever, just.... for a while." He said before climbing up. James walked in front of the horses. "Move, James!" He hissed.

"Over my dead body, you can't just leave. I know how you feel, remember? I know what you want... I can't say I blame you, but really? The guy is asexual." James hissed.

"I don't like... it isn't like that. He is just fun to tease and knowing he won't do anything back except maybe get a bit annoyed." Luther said. James glared at him, knowing full well it was a partial lie.

Erorn woke up and went down to get some breakfast and saw James standing in front of the carriage and Luther in the driving seat. He didn't hear what had already been said, but it was clear that Luther wanted to leave. "But I... I love you." he was barely able to whisper he was so choked up. He turned and went back inside. He didn't know what to think, he didn't know what he had done wrong. But he was sure that it was his fault. It was always his fault, not looking at the big picture and all that shit, and now he had driven away one of the men he loved. He went back to his room and through the secret passage in his room that lead him to the attic. He used to go up there all the time as a kid when he wanted to get away from everyone. He sat in an old chair and began to cry as he stared out the window.

James glared at him, but Luther was already off the carriage. "I was only going to be gone for a few days, a month max." He sighed and went back inside. He looked in Erorn's room, nothing. Walked into the library and every room and didn't find him. The last place was the attic. Luther found him sitting in the chair crying. He sighed and crouched in front of Erorn. "You really need to stop being so emotional about everything. I am just going away for a few days. I have to get out of this house. I feel like prisoner, always having to hide whenever someone knocks at the door or when your uncle playmates come over." He got silent, "I am trying... been doing this for four months. I know I could have come and talked to you about it, I am sorry." He said softly. He didn't mention Erorn saying I love you to him, especially if he wasn't going to say it back.

Erorn wiped away his tears, he was so tired of this. "I'm sorry I over reacted." He sniffled. He caught the view of some things in the attic and got an idea. "How about the three of us get away together? You know how to hunt?" He asked. He thought that a trip out in the wilderness would be nice, away from civilization and camping for a while. Getting away from the mansion and not having to worry about who might find them because they'd be so far away that no one would find them.

Luther smiled, "I know how to do many things thanks to my dad, but you know if we do it now we will be freezing our asses of right?" Then it hit him, "Nevermind, we can go. If it means getting to see you smile of course. No more tears okay? You could drown the whole damn world with how much you cry. I think the gods may be a bit jealous." He said softly, cupping his face and leaned up to kiss him softly. "When would you like to go? The snow has melted some, so we can hit the trail in about an hour or would you want to wait?" He asked. Luther thought that the things that could eat them would be hibernating right now and that fishing would have to be their source of food, but it was manageable.

Erorn hugged Luther tight. "Next time just talk to me first. I probably wouldn't have gotten upset at all if you had said something to me, but seeing James standing there it made it seem like you weren't coming back." He laughed at how badly he had reacted. "And trust me I won't let either of you freeze your asses off." He smiled at him. "But it'd probably be a good idea to pack some extra blankets. We could leave as soon as we get James and me packed, since you're already packed. I'll get all the hunting gear out of the attic here. Hopefully James will be up for it too, I know I need to get out of here as much as you needed to." He smiled as he got up and grabbed a couple of bows and quivers full of arrows, a tent, and a large backpack with cooking equipment in it.

Luther nodded and kissed the top of his head before leaving him to it and went down to tell his brother the plans. James wasn't bothered by the idea and didn't mind going out for a few. Luther made his way back to the carriage and got his things before going back in and packing more clothes for camping and some more blankets, then he went to find Uncle JJ since he wasn't going to be seeing him for a few days. When he found him he draped his arms over him and then looked at his ears. He wondered if would react the same way as Erorn did and gently rubbed the tip of his ear. "We are going camping, I am going to miss you." He smirked.

James got ready for camping and went help Erorn. "Where the hell is Luther?" He sighed when his emotions hit him, "Nevermind. So we are going camping? We won't find much of anything besides fish, but the bows would come in handy for protection. Also," He pulled Erorn in and smirked, "What are you planning behind this little camping trip?" He asked.

Erorn had almost finished packing. "I'm planning to have fun with the two guys I love, without having to be cooped up in this damn house. I was going crazy in there too. I think I might have to wait for my other plan. Camping would not be the right place for it." He smiled. He had just finished packing. He looked even smaller with a huge backpack full of camping and hunting supplies on his back.

Jerry looked up at Luther and gave him a nod. "Well good luck with that. Stay safe." He said before looking back at his book. He liked to keep to himself and would enjoy a little bit of time without Luther throwing himself at him every chance he got. He was beginning to wonder if it would be best for everyone if he were to just move back to his old house back in town. That way his former associates wouldn't be coming around the mansion and making things dangerous for them.

James couldn't help but chuckle at the way Erorn looked with the backpack on him. "I can carry some of that if you want." He tried to say without laughing. "And I am sure Luther wouldn't mind carrying some too." He said before ruffling his hair. "Don't over do it to try and keep up with us. Our father trained us so we could beat an army." He sighed at the memory. "Don't tell Luther this, but that man could kill half an army by himself if he was mad enough. Yet, he never gets mad enough for that to happen." He shook his head.

Luther frowned, "Aw you don't feel nothing in your cute little ears?" He slid off of him and then draped into his lap. "Well at least miss me a little. I know I will miss you lots and lots." He said poking at the book he was reading. The title didn't look interesting at all.

Erorn laughed a little at the question. "I love how you guys worry about me, but really it's fine. I was trained to be able to do at least twice this much on my back in the army." He shivered a little at the idea of entire armies being killed by one man. "What is taking him so long anyway? Is he flirting with Jerry again?"

"Well, I felt you touch it, but it didn't do anything for me like it does for most elves." Jerry sighed. "Doesn't it get tedious for you? Do you really think that I will ever feel anything like that for you? Even if I were able to be attracted to you, do you really think I would do that to Erorn? "

James nodded, "Most likely." He said an looked down at him and saw his face, "Luther... is a complicated person. He knows nothing will come from flirting with your uncle, but right now his mood has shifted so something happened with them." James shook his head. "Do you honestly think something is going to happen between them?" He asked.

Luther friendly smiled faded and a more serious look appeared. "For one," He sat up and moved to the seat across from him, "you are nothing more than a toy, something Erorn isn't. I know you won't do anything back, which is why I go at it so hard. I don't have to bug Erorn all the time." He walked to the door, "Since you want to be so serious, for someone in the black market you think you would have located Erorn better. I wonder if someone didn't set his parents up for that orc invasion." He said before walking off, not bothering to close the door. He found the boys in the attic, he had gotten his stuff before finding them. "You two ready?" He asked with a monotone voice.

Erorn looked into James' eye before Luther came to them. "I get that he wouldn't do anything. I know that he doesn't want to bother me every time he's in the mood, but you'd think by now he'd realize that when it comes to you guys, I'm always in the mood and it really wouldn't bother me." He chuckled. "But this is why I haven't said anything, I know I'm over emotional and I'd end up making it seem like it's something bigger than it is." He noticed the lack of tone in Luther's voice. He stood on his tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. "Cheer up, babe, we're getting out of here." He smiled as they went down stairs and out the door.

Jerry waited for the three of them to leave and then he started packing his stuff. He decided it would be for the best if he left and went back to his old house to keep the dangerous people off they're trail. He left a note for Erorn explaining his actions, aside from the part about the flirting, and didn't tell them where he was going. Jerry wasn't like Erorn, he was a coward who didn't face his problems he ran from them or paid them to go away. That was how he got in the black market to begin with. He knew that Luther was getting too close to the truth about Erorn's parents and he couldn't have him finding out the truth.

They had hiked a good ways into the woods. James walked in front, Erorn in the middle, and Luther was in the back. He knew something wasn't right with the whole situation dealing with Erorn's parents. Part of the reason he even flirted with Uncle JJ was so that he could find some information from him. He got bits and pieces, but never the whole puzzle. James could feel Luther and frowned, something happened before they left and Luther wasn't going to talk to him about it. So he focus on finding a good spot for them to pitch their tent. "Here we go." He said and placed his stuff down. Luther walked ahead and checked the perimeter before gathering some wood for them to make a fire.

"The sooner we get the fire going the better." Luther said. His voice had life in it now, but it was dull and serious. Luther let Erorn start the fire before going over to James. "Why you so ugly?" He smirked, going back to his old self, or pretended so that they would leave him alone about the Uncle JJ thing.

James growled, "We look alike, asshat."

"I never said I was pretty." Luther smiled.

Erorn got the fire started quickly and then started pitching a tent for all of them. He finished that as well and couldn't resist the obvious joke staring him in the face. "Well I got a tent pitched for you guys, oh and I got a place for us to sleep tonight too." He laughed. He sat by the fire warming his hands for a little bit. It was then that something had finally occurred to him. His curse. He was out on a hunting trip when killing anything would make him want to kill more. He didn't worry though, he'd always been able to control himself enough to not kill people he cared about, hell in the army he managed not to kill any of his fellow soldiers and he hated most of them. "Hey guys, not to worry you too much, but I figured I should remind you about my whole blood lust thing. If I get scary out there, please don't worry, I promise I won't hurt you. I might come back with a lot of food though." He chuckled nervously to try to lighten the mood.

James and Luther looked at each other and then back at Erorn when he made the joke. They didn't really think about Erorn's little curse that much. "I will just send Luther on you if you do come at us," James smiled and ruffled his hair before sitting next to him by the fire. Luther looked at them two with a raised eyebrow.

"I knew you two were talking about me behind by back. I will just sleep this trip away now." He joked and went sit on the other side of Erorn. He looked at James and James looked back at him. They both smirked evilly and reach up. Both gently rubbed the tip of Erorn's ear for a bit, before dropping their hands. "We should go hunting now. Get something before it is too dark." Luther said and James agreed. They stood up and got their hunting gear.

Erorn let out a muffled moan when they teamed up on his ears. "Damn guys you're gonna scare away the animals making me moan like that, wait till we eat first." He laughed before grabbing his own gear. He was a natural at hunting, it was one of his few forms of recreation when he lived alone. He knew the types of animals to find at this time of year in the woods. He walked through the snow glad that he was lighter than the other two. He hardly left any footprints on the snow as he walked. His senses seemed to be heightened as he walked. He heard a twig breaking a few yards away. His head snapped to the direction of the noise. His eyes peered through the bushes and he saw them rustle a little bit. He pulled an arrow from his quiver and readied it in the bow. He stood perfectly still until he saw a large fox digging in the snow. He could have taken the shot, but he knew what the fox was doing. After a little digging the fox had pulled a rabbit from the hole and then he let the arrow fly piercing both the fox and the rabbit. He then went and grabbed the arrow holding it up like a lollipop. "Well I got my dinner." he grinned. His eyes were a little dark. He could feel the urge to kill more animals.

Luther and James had crept around with Erorn, they heard the faint rustle in the bushes a bit too late. By the time they turned Erorn had already had his bow ready. They decided to watch and see if he would actually be able to make the shot. They actually thought he was going for the fox but then when he held the arrow up there was a rabbit and a fox. Luther threw up his hands, "I could have been sleeping. Erorn got it in one shot." James laughed softly and kissed Erorn's forehead. "Good job, babe." They headed back to the camp. Luther and James skinned and cleaned the fox and rabbit before putting it one the fire. Luther got a pot of snow and let it sit by the water to warm up before cleaning his hands. "Okay, I am going sleep. Wake me up when the food is ready." He said before crawling into the tent and falling asleep almost instantly.

James looked at Erorn, "You look so cute, hunting. Lucky I have self control." He smirked. "But really, that was amazing what you did back there. I believe we would have missed the rabbit." James cleaned his hands and dried them off before cupping Erorn's face. "So I guess your ears aren't just useful to get you to easily moan." He smirked.

Erorn's blood lust was quickly replaced by just pure lust as James complimented and flirted with him. He smirked at James. "Hmmm, just because they're good for one thing doesn't mean you can't still use them for the other." He grinned. He pulled a few seasonings out of his backpack and seasoned the the fox and the rabbit while they roasted on the fire. "Even in the wilderness we can't have bland food." He said. Then he leaned over and kissed James. "I'm so glad we did this, it's fun to do something a little more rugged for once, I mean I may be gay, but I still like to do manly shit." He cuddled next to him while they watched the food cook.

James pulled Erorn into his lap and cuddled him. "Your ears are so cold... let me warm them." He kissed up Erorn's jaw and not so gently bit one of them while he rubbed the other one. He loved taking opportunities like this and making him squirm and as pay back sent Luther most of the emotions. They could hear Luther ruffle in the tent. "Really James?" He growled as he poked his head out.

Erorn chuckled a little when he realized what James was doing. "Yeah, James, there plenty of me to share." He smiled. "No matter how small I look." He then walked to the other side of the fire and checked the food. "Well the rabbit is done, but the fox could go a few more minutes Who wants to eat something small and cute?" He knew the joke he was setting them up for, but he wanted them and he was okay with surrendering to them to get that right now.

Luther crawled out of the tent and sat down. "You keep this up and we won't be eating rabbit or fox tonight." Luther mumbled as he huddled by the fire. James nodded in agreement. When the fox was ready they all ate. It was pretty good, "Not bad, not bad at all." It had gotten a bit colder as the sun began to lower. "I got used to a warm fireplace." Luther mumbled before taking Erorn on his lap. "Warm me up." He mumbled into Erorn's neck.

Erorn felt so spoiled having the two of them lavish attention on him and he loved it. "Okay, babe." He smirked. He kissed him on the cheek. "How about we all go into the tent and warm up under the covers?" He said seductively. "I know we just ate, but I could really go for a cuddle sandwich." He smiled.
…..
"Fun doesn't begin to describe it." Erorn smirked back. "Mmm, it's nice how I fit perfectly between you, like I was made for you two." He smiled as he started to drift off to sleep. "So nice." he murmured then he was out like a light. He looked so sweet and innocent it would be hard to believe he had just done all the things he did if they hadn't just experienced it.

James fought hard not to wake him up from his sleep and Luther glared at him so that he wouldn't, he knew James was itching to be more rough, but Luther had to hold him back. Erorn knew nothing of what James 'rough' side was really like. He waited until James fell asleep before falling asleep himself.

James woke up first, the other two boys were both sleeping. James slid out t tent and made another fire before hurrying back in. It was freezing.
James and Luther let Erorn rest while they went out. They got far enough away from the camp site to start talking. "Uhm, about earlier." James said. "What about it?" Luther asked. He knew what James was talking about. "I am sorry if it got a bit awkward for you. I just... it was to please Erorn." He said.

Luther looked at him, "Are you sure it wasn't to please you too?" He asked. James got silent. They stayed like that as they gathered more wood and hunted. Luther thought about it the whole time. "I didn't mind it." Luther finally said. It was barely a whisper. He didn't like to admit he liked it and that he wouldn't mind doing it again. James could feel what Luther was feeling.

"Yet you don't like it." James said as he gathered the two rabbits he shot. Luther shrugged, "Siblings aren’t supposed to do those things." He said.

"Siblings aren't supposed to share lovers either." James replied.

"I enjoyed it, James. Okay? Probably a little more than you did. Are you happy now?" Luther stormed off. He wanted to be alone. James sighed and continued to hunt.

Eron slept for a few hours before waking up to an empty camp. He got dressed and stoked the fire. He figured the best idea was to wait here for them, rather than going out and trying to find them and getting himself lost or something. He was so happy that he could barely contain himself. He loved his boys and they loved him even if one of them didn't want to admit it to himself.

Luther wished he hadn't of ran off. Now he was lost. He looked around and everything looked the same. The snow was falling again and it covered his tracks. He sighed and decided to turn around hoping it will lead him back to camp.

When James got enough food, he went back to camp and handed Erorn the food, "get these cooking. Luther got lost." He said before walking off. It took a while to find him. He was heading the opposite way of the camp. "At least you aren't dead." James said.

Luther glared at him, "Sadly." He said. James glared at him. "I won't do it again." James said and they walked in silence back to the camp.

Erorn had the animals skinned and was seasoning them before putting them on the fire to roast. He saw the looks on both their faces and knew something was up. "Okay, out with it now before it gets blown out of proportion and the crying starts. I really don't want to break icicles off of my eyes." He said dryly as he stared down at the meat. "I can't fix anything if you don't tell me what's wrong."

Luther was the one to speak first, "You really so go to the doctor. I don't think it is normal to cry as much as you do." James punched him lightly in the shoulder and glared. Luther shrugged and sat next to Erorn. "Nothing is wrong and you don't need to fix a thing." He said finally after James sat down on the other side.

James patted Erorn's head. "I am shocked you are up, seems like we took a lot out of you." He smiled. He didn't look at Luther, scared that he would run off.

"You'd think you would be better at lying, but whatever." He smiled. "I probably shouldn't have made it weird earlier." He sighed "As for my crying, it's perfectly fine to be in touch with one's emotions, so there." He said like a little child then stuck his tongue out at Luther in a squinty face. "And if we're going by volume, I took much more out of you two, so make sure you get plenty of meat here to replace some of that protein." He chuckled and wrapped an arm around each of them pulling them close.

Luther nor James said anything. When the food was done and they had had their fill Luther got up to leave. James practically threw Erorn at him. "Take him at least. Like we need you lost when it starts getting dark." He said. Luther grabbed Erorn's hand, not looking at his brother and began to walk. Erorn was so tiny compared to him that it made him smile. "You are so adorable... " He said softly.

James sat there by the fire, making sure it was going and didn't die. He could feel the bond between them loosen a bit. Luther was drawing away from him.

Erorn looked up at him after the comment with a smile in his eyes. After that he kept quiet for a little bit then smiled. "The stars are so clear and bright when you get away from the city." He looked into the sky and the moon light made his eyes sparkle.

They walked for a while when he decided to make the comment about the stars. He looked up and finally notice the stars. "Mmm yeah, they were like this at the old house." He said softly before looking down and seeing his eyes sparkle. Luther stopped walking, they came to a river and he sat down on a rock after knocking the snow off of it then he picked Erorn up and sat him between his legs. "You are so damn light. It comes in handy." He smiled and kissed Eron's shoulder.

Erorn chuckled. "Yeah for you maybe, but being small isn't always fun." Erorn twitched as Luther kissed a ticklish spot. "That's not fair, I can't tickle you back." He laughed. Luther felt so warm and comfy. "Hmmm. Maybe it 's you who fits around me." He thought outloud as he looked out at the river. Luther was warm and comfy as Erorn sat there with him. It felt like Luther wanted to say something, but Erorn was probably just reading something into the silence that wasn't there. He felt Luther's heartbeat through his shirt. It was slow and calm and it calmed Erorn letting his mind go blank.

James decided to go off and head the opposite way that Luther and Erorn went. He didn't want to just sit around and wait for them to get back. He found a good fallen branch and headed back to the camp with it before he started to widdle at it.

Luther held Erorn close, resting his chin on Erorn's head. The silence was nice and it helped him think things through. He absentmindedly rubbed Erorn's ear as he thought about his brother and Erorn and then Erorn's parents and how someone had to set them up for that orc raid.

Erorn let out a quiet purring-like noise as Luther rubbed his ears. He was beginning to realize the reason they went out this far was for Luther to be alone with his thoughts. He couldn't imagine what it must be like for either one of them to have someone else in your head all the time. To not be able to hide how you really feel. To have someone who knows you better than you know yourself. He leaned back to snuggle against Luther's chest. His purring got louder. "I love how you know how to push my buttons just the right way." He sighed with contentment.

They were silent for a while and Luther was thankful for that. He got through what he needed when Erorn began to talk. "Hm? Oh.." He stopped rubbing his ear. "I am sorry. I didn't know I was doing that, but it is nice to know I have that kind of thing over you." He smiled and ran his fingers through Erorn's hair.

"You know... I don't want you to feel bad for making me and my brother stroke each other off. It was... me who made it awkward." He tried to find the words to use. "I actually really liked it. My father is just getting inside of my head." He said softly before lifting Erorn's chin and kissing him softly.

"Okay, I'm glad you liked it then." He smiled after bing kissed. He turned around to face Luther and wrapped his arms and legs around Luther. "You're right, there are some advantages to being so tiny. I can sit on your lap even when you've barely got a spot to sit down." He then kissed Luther pasionately and then rested his head on Luther's shoulder. "I could stay like this forever." He grinned. There was no rush to get back to camp and this was nice.

Luther wanted to laugh, but kissed him back instead. He was so tiny. "Mmm, the things I could do to you right now. But I think I am going to be a good boy instead." He said and ran his hand up and down his sides slowly.

James had widdled the banch into a small sword and about died when he thought of Erorn. "Childs toy for a small man." He said softly. Something calm had washed over him and he couldn't tell if it was the camping or his brother.

James decide after he was done with the widdling to go lie down and rest before they got back. "Maybe I should go camping on my own... when it isn't so bloody cold." He mumbled and rolled himself into a blanket burrito.

Erorn wanted to make a comment about Luther being a good boy, but he liked that side of Luther. He loved how soft and gentle Luther was when it came to him. He was never too rough. He was such a sweet man, when he wanted to be. He remained silent again just to enjoy the moment with Luther holding him.

It had started to get dark and Luther didn't want them to be out there when it was fully dark. He set Erorn down cupping his face and looking him dead in the eyes. "You are going to have to get us back to camp. I have no idea where we are." He said before smiling innocently.

Erorn couldn't help but smile. For once he wasn't the most adorable person around. He couldn't resist giving him a big kiss before taking Luther's hand and leading him back to the camp. Along the way he smiled "This was nice, we should go for walks more often, it's a little more fun than a morning run." He chuckled.

As they walked into the camp Erorn saw the toy sword James had widdled. He smiled thinking about how cute it was. He saw James in the tent and decided to be nice and let him sleep. He stoked the fire and cuddled with Luther by the fire. "Let him sleep." Erorn said with a grin. "I'll help you get back at him for this morning later, but right now, let's just enjoy this." He said in a soft gentle voice as he put an arm around him and leaned his head on Luther's shoulder.

Luther nodded, he did like to take walks more so than running. He would run with James in the morning and walk at nights with Erorn. When they got to the camp James was in the tent sleeping and Erorn didn't want to wake him up. They sat by the fire and Luther wasn't even thinking about getting revenge, but now he was, and a slow smile crept on his face.

Luther held Erorn close by the fire, his fingers trailed under his clothes and felt his smooth warm skin. He looked down at him for a second and like how his hair seemed to glow with the light of the fire. It made Luther pull Erorn into his lap and snuggle his face into the crook of his neck. Luther smirked evilly and tilted his head gently to the side before kissing and gently biting his neck. "I could eat you right up, Erorn." He whispered.


Erorn twitched again at the ticklish spot on his neck. He giggled a little. "You know I wouldn't be able to resist." He smiled. He leaned into Luther's neck and kissed him as well, but he knew it wouldn't have the same effect. He wished Luther had just the slightest bit of a sensitive spot that he could find and expliot. He kissed up his jaw line and up to Luther's ear. He nibbled the ear lobe gently and then laid his head back down on his shoulder. "How are you so comfy? You have like just the right amout of muscle so that you aren't boney but you aren't squishy either. He kissed at his neck while he rested like that. He was realizing that he hadn't shaved and he must be a little stubley. He couldn't understand how his stuble wasn't even slightly tickling his neck as he kissed him.

Luther smirked at Erorn twitch. He looked up, "I have no idea." He chuckled a little and let Erorn kiss his neck. He liked his lips on him. Luther hadn't notice the stumble and it didn't bother him when Erorn kissed him. The thought of Erorn looking like a rough and tough man got him laughing a full hearted laugh. "Oh man... Erorn please don't grow a beard. I don't think my sides or heart could take it." He cupped Erorn's face. "I like the innocent look you have, it is one of my many weakness." He blinked for a moment, "And the only one you will know." He smirked and kissed him softly, loving his lips on his own.

"Sure the only weakness I know." He smiled devilshly. "Whatever you say, babe. I'll be sure to shave when we get back home." He kissed him on the lips again and felt calm and relaxed. For once he wasn't worried about anyone or anything, at least in this moment, and he wished he could make the moment last forever.

Luther ran his thumb over the stubly cheek and smiled, "I think I am bleeding." He joked before trailing his fingers down his throat and chest before resting on his hip and holding him closer. The night was getting colder, but the fire and Erorn was keeping him warm. Luther wondered how long this could last. He pushed the thought down and enjoyed the silence with Erorn for the time being. Luther smirked evilly and placed a cold hand on his warm back.

Erorn arched his back with the cold finger running down it. He managed to keep his mouth closed but his voice still let out a scream, but his closed mouth and clenched jaw made it sound like a moan. His eyes got wide with the cold. He could see the lust in the back of Luther's eyes and he suddenly realized what it must have looked and sounded like. He hit him on the shoulder playfully. "That is so not fair, I don't have any way to get you back." He then kissed him. "I will find another weakness of yours, just wait and see."

Luther laughed, he couldn't get over the look and sound that came from Erorn. It was pure bliss for him. "Mmm that is the way I like it. Can't have you trying to take control over me..." He kissed him back and whispered, "You can sure try." He ran his thumb over Erorn's lip. "I may get lost in a house, but I know how to hide things very well." He chuckled. "Plus.." He held Erorn tightly with one arm and tickled him, "Huh... I forgot." He smiled.

Erorn squirmed in Luther's arms. He smiled. "I don't want to control you, I want to make you feel as amazing as you do to me." He grinned. "And if anyone can find one, it'll be me." His determination glimmering in his eyes. He looked up into Luther's eyes. "You may get lost in my house, but I could get lost in your eyes." He knew the line was cheesy, but it was also true. He could stare into Luther's eyes longer than he could read and learn far more about life from Luther's eyes than he could from any book. He gave up trying to get Luther behave, he knew he was past the point of no return now. But he was glad that he wasn't trying to push it in James' face and force him to wake up like James had done this morning. He was liking the one-on-one time with Luther right now, and he would get some one-on-one time with James later.

Luther cupped his face, "You are so cheesy, but you flatter me. And no I am not blushing I am just cold." He smiled and kissed Erorn's forehead softly. James and Erorn had a good bit of one-on-one at the house for the past four months while he was trying to get information from Uncle JJ, so he didn't mind the time he had with Erorn now. Plus he had to push away the feelings he had for his uncle away. He didn't go in wanting them to begin with. Luther added more wood to the fire so it wouldn't die. The moon was high above now and Luther couldn't feel his feet. "Okay, kid, we need to get in that tent... but James is hogging all of the covers. If I go in it could get ugly... so uh... you go in." He smiled and stood, letting Erorn down gently in front of the tent and patted his butt.

Erorn went into the tent and sure enough James was in the center of the covers. He suddenly found himself wishing that he had brought more of them. He crawled under the covers and gently nudged James over to one side of the tent. He was glad that James was a deep sleeper. He held the flap of tent open and motioned for Luther to come on in. He smiled and and slapped his ass as well when he came into the tent.

Luther looked at him innocently, "How could you hit such a pretty thing?" He whispered before sliding in on the other side so Erorn could get in the middle. "I am shocked he didn't wake up... he always wakes up when I try to move him." He pouted for a bit. "But then again I wasn't as gentle as you either." He tried not to chuckle. "Now strip... you have to sleep naked with us." He smirked evilly and looked like James at the moment, with black hair.

Erorn kissed him and smirked. "You say that like you think I wouldn't enjoy it." He chuckled quietly. He did as he was told and slid under the covers. A rather large tent being formed in them as he laid on his back. He put his hands behind his head as he waited for Luther to do the same.

Luther stripped and then went under the covers and smirked. He blew into his hands so they were warm and then began to gently stroke him hard and slow. He wasn't going to put his mouth around Erorn's member just yet, he wanted him to need his mouth on it. His thumb teased the very tip of the head while his other hand gently played with his balls. Luther had to cut himself off of James so he wouldn't wake.
Luther smiled softly and didn't say anything. They ended up falling asleep. James was the one to actually get up early and snuffed out the fire completely before packing everything. "Get up you two." He said. James didn't wait for them to get up as he tore down the tent and packed it up.

Luther groaned and growled, "What the fuck, James?" He asked trying to get dressed as fast as he could. He was freezing.

"I let you two love birds sleep in, you should be thanking me." He said dryly. He had felt it last night. He didn't have to watch it to know. A part of him was pissed, but he just stayed quiet about it. He placed the backpack on and waited for Erorn.

Luther packed his bag and didn't look at James after feeling what James threw at him. Part of him felt like he cheated James out on something.

Erorn was kinda pissed as well when James took down the tent. He didn't say anything and he could feel the tension between everyone. He didn't see what the big deal was, which usually meant that there was a bigger picture that he wasn't seeing. He tried not to get too upset about things until he knew what he was getting upset about.

He got dressed and put on his back pack after helping them pack up. It was a little bit irritating that they were leaving the trip in a worse mood than when they had arrived. "Well, I guess we should get going." Erorn said trying not to sound too upset with anyone.

Luther and James walked behind Erorn the whole time, yet didn't even look at each other. It seemed like a longer walk back to the house than it was when they were going to the forrest to begin with. When Erorn entered the house James tried following but Luther had stopped him. "Go in, me and James need to talk." Luther said. He waited till Erorn was gone to talk to James.

"What is up with you?" He asked softly.

"Nothing is up." James replied.

"You have been acting mad all morning. Don't play that shit with me, James. I can feel it." Luther said.

"What the hell do you want me to say? What happened last night was bound to happen sometime, I just didn't think my ass would be right fucking next to you two." He said.

Luther looked away, "I didn't think it was ever going to happen... he asked for it though... what was I supposed to do?" He said.

"Nothing you did what you were supposed to do. Can I go in now?" He asked. His voice as emotionless as his face.

"James..." Luther said softly, but James turned to go.

"Now I see how you felt when you came back home..." James said softly before leaving Luther outside. He didn't talk to Erorn as he walked by him. He went into his room and locked the door before starting a fire in the fire place and going shower.

Erorn went in to his room and set his pack down. He too needed a shower so he went and did so. When he was done he came out and saw the note Uncle Jerry had left on his bed. It explained that he had gone back to his last house so that Erorn and the boys wouldn't be in danger from his people coming to visit. He understood what he was talking about and while he'd miss having his only family living with him, he knew that it was for the best. He knew it would only be a matter of time before Luther noticed Jerry was gone, so it would probably be a good idea to tell him before he freaked out thinking that he was killed or something. He went out the door and yelled assuming both the guys were in their rooms. "Hey, guys, I got some bad news for ya, Uncle Jerry decided to go back to his home, so it's just us here and we should be safe now. There really shouldn't be anyone coming to the door.

He went back to his room and collapsed on his bed. He was exhausted and he felt like he could die happy now. He didn't have a care in the world, except for wondering what was bothering his boys. He was not going to over react like he always did. He was going to wait, eventually it would come out and they could get through it.

Luther about screamed before storming into Erorn's room, "My ass he left because of safety. I was so damn close and he just runs away. I am going to be leaving for a while, Erorn." He said before kissing his forehead and walking out to his room to back clean clothes and started to strip for a shower. He hurried in and did a throw quick job and jumped out before getting dressed. James didn't even come out of his room.

Erorn went to stop him quickly before he left. "Wait a minute. Can you explain to me what's going on before you go? You were so damn close to what exactly, because it wasn't his bed. Please don't leave me in the dark on this Luther." His heart was racing, but he kept his breath calm. He was determined not to over react, since Luther had actually told him he was leaving this time. He was just really confused.

Luther looked down at him and frowned, "I can't tell you... not right now anyway." He said softly. He cupped Erorn's face gently and kissed him like it was the last time he would. "I am sorry, Erorn. Hopefully I can return with some answers." He side stepped him and made his way out of the house before loading the carriage up and hooking the horse up.
