Should have seen it all along...

"You're bruised but they're fine," Butcher said slowly. Ryland would do that to someone who's pregnant?

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:08 pm

Mikey sighed in relief, not caring about the state of his own body. "I told him not to hurt them."

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:18 pm

"And he listened?" Butcher said in awe. Maybe the vampire was getting soft.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:19 pm

Mikey shrugged. "Maybe because I'm pregnant." He nuzzled into Butcher. "But they're ok..."

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:25 pm

"I'm suspiciuos," Butcher said quietly.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:26 pm

Mikey raised his dark eyes silently, blinking slowly.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:27 pm

"He always does what he wants to cause pain," Butcher gazed back into Mikey's eyes. "Something doesn't add up."

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:28 pm

"Then." Mikey said bitterly. "He'll be back."

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:30 pm

Butchere's eyes darkened as he considered what Ryland might have in mind.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:30 pm

Mikey couldn't look into Butcher's eyes anymore. He looked away and hugged his knees.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:35 pm

Butcher hugged Mikey closer. "We have to kill him."

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:35 pm

Mikey laughed bitterly, staring at the tiled wall.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:44 pm

"But he's like a cockroach," Butcher muttered, closing his eyes and leaning his head on Mikey's.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:45 pm

"If you kill him," Mikey whispered. "Then it's likely William and I will die as well. Wait until the babies are born."

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:50 pm

Butcher opened his eyes wide. "I can't then."

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:51 pm

"You need to get rid of him." Mikey traced a circle in his lover's palm.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:57 pm

"I can't do it if I lose you too." Butcher smiled softly at the feeling of Mikey's finger on his hand.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:58 pm

Mikey dropped his gaze and kissed the other man's palm. His lashes were dark on his pale skin.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:06 pm

"I don't want to lose you," Butcher half whispered, half mouthed.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:07 pm

"I might come back." Mikey murmured. "I'd never be able to exact revenge on you."

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:17 pm

"If there's any way..." Butcher already felt guilty for causing Mikey so much pain. He couldn't imagine how he'd feel if he killed his lover.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:18 pm

"But I wouldn't be able to touch you. And that would be agony." Mikey pulled Butcher's arms tighter around him.

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:23 pm

Butcher smiled and rubbed Mikey's side gently. "Are you warmer?"

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:24 pm

Mikey nodded, pushing a few wet strands out of his eyes. "A little bit, anyway."

Subject: Re: Should have seen it all along... Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:26 pm

"Nils learned a new word today," Butcher realized something was missing and looked around.
