The Mavericks & Spike.
After the Mavericks set up Demetria's apartment for her, which took most of the morning. Demetria was fussy about where exactly everything was going to go. Like most women are.
When that was done, they 'ported over to Gwen's hotel room.
Spike looked around and whistled slightly.
"Well."
Mordred shifted Eavan on his hip and sighed slightly.
"Just shut it, Spike."
Vortigern let Faolan hold his hand tighter and sighed as well.
"Spike."
"Fine. Sod it."
Octavian and Demetria giggled.
"So whipped!"
"The wolf's the one with a collar," Spike snapped back.
Octavian howled and Mordred shot him an anxious glare.
Gwen
Gwen padded out of the bathroom and smiled when she saw the group.
"Hey."
She bent down and lifted Bryant up.
Spike, Mordred & Octavian.
"Hey Sparky," Spike said.
"So, are we going to stand here all day, or are we going to actually go outside?"
Mordred rolled his eyes.
"Hi, Gwen."
Octavian grinned at Gwen, blue eyes dancing with mischief.
Gwen
"Yeah, we'll go for a walk."
Gwen shooed them all from the room and locked it up and leading everyone from the hotel.
"How've they been?" Gwen asked, indicated Eavan and Bryant.
Mordred & Faolan.
"They missed you," Mordred said to her quietly.
Faolan sniffed slightly, then glanced up.
"I did too."
"Yeah, the whelp did too," Mordred said in a longsuffering tone.
Gwen
Gwen took Faolan's hand with her free one and smiled at him.
"I missed you too, Fao."
She placed a kiss on Bryant's head and smiled at Octavian over her shoulder.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian smiled back, and then decided to take the 'freak Mordred out something shocking' plan into the first stage.
"So...Gwen, those pictures you sent me were rather nice."
Mordred choked.
Gwen
Gwen grinned.
"Yeah, I'm an expert photographer. Every inch was at just the right angle."
The Mavericks, Spike & Faolan.
The other adults of the group looked interested, and tuned in. Faolan giggled slightly, then ran on ahead.
"I think I dun wanna know!"
"And he'd be right," Mordred murmured.
"Gwen, why did you do that?"
"I was rather...pleasantly suprised," Octavian drawled, looking at Mordred.
Mordred blushed slightly and looked away.
"Ok, I want to know, now," Spike said.
Vortigern choked back a laugh.
"I profess to interest as well," Demetria said.
Gwen
"I thought Octavian should know what he was missing out on."
Gwen grinned and hitched Bryant up futher on her hip.
Octavian, Mordred & Demetria.
"And my," Octavian said.
He grinned at Mordred, who looked distinctly skittish and edged away slightly.
"Very interesting. Intriguing, even."
"Feeling all left out here," Demetria complained.
Gwen
"Aww, Dem, you've seen Mordred. Well, not exactly like that, unless you tied him up too."
Gwen chuckled.
Demetria, Mordred & Spike.
"Oh. OH!"
Demetria giggled.
Mordred groaned.
Spike looked even more interested.
"Leather or chains?"
Gwen
"Chains."
Gwen giggled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"And there were whips..."
Mordred, Octavian & Spike.
"Taking the children away so they can't be corrupted," Mordred said firmly.
He picked up Bryant and Eavan and walked away.
Octavian tsked slightly, then went after him.
"What did you do, Electrogirl?" Spike asked.
"Oh, don't worry so," Octavian said as he caught up.
"You've got *nothing* to be ashamed of, trust me."
Mordred gaped at him slightly.
Gwen
Gwen chuckled.
"Sent some compromising pictures to Octavian and we decided to have some fun. He's going to try and see if Mordred is, like he says, 100% straight."
The Mavericks & Spike.
Demetria, Vortigern's and Spike's eyes swivveled to watch Octavian doing his very best to charm MOrdred. Spike grinned.
"You are so evil, ducks."
Octavian's hand grazed Mordred's ass and the other teen yelped and twisted away slightly.
Gwen
Gwen giggled.
"Oh I try."
She watched Mordred and Octavian in amusement.
The Mavericks & Spike.
Spike chuckled.
"Pretty funny, innit?"
"I always wondered how long exactly this would take," Vortigern said.
Demetria raised an eyebrow at him, then laughed.
"Actually, so did I. He's so emphatic on being straight."
"Actually, he's just that little bit bent. Like me."
Vortigern smiled, then chuckled as Spike caught him and kissed him hard. He wrapped his arms around the vampire's neck and kissed him back.
"How far are you willing to let Tavvie go?" Demetria asked Gwen with interest.
Another muffled yelp sound, and Mordred glared at Octavian. The blond looked innocent, while Mordred put Eavan down and rubbed at his backside, still glaring at Octavian.
Gwen
"Oh I'm willing for it to go all the way."
Gwen grinned.
"Tav's promised me a video if it gets there."
Demetria, Spike, Octavian & Mordred.
"Can I put my name in for one?" Demetria asked.
"I'll just have to pretend really hard it's not Tavvie."
Spike chuckled.
"Yeah, we're all pretty much hooked on sex."
Octavian smiled at Mordred.
"So, how has life been lately?"
"Fine it's been...fine."
Gwen
"Mmmm, yeah, why not?"
Gwen gestured for them to walk faster to listen what Octavian was going on.
Octavian, Mordred & Spike.
"You didn't come to the concert. I'm hurt. Shocked and appalled," Octavian said, pouting slightly.
"Couldn't get a sitter," Mordred said.
"You could have used the mansion's," Octavian pointed out.
"Oh, he's good," Spike murmured.
"He's got the wolf running scared already."
Gwen
Gwen giggled.
"Ah, I knew I went to the right guy."
Vortigern, Spike, Mordred & Octavian.
"Any particular reason you want my twin freaked out?" Vortigern said in a soft but deadly voice.
"I would hope it's nothing too serious."
Spike grinned and kissed Vortigern again.
"That's my Mate. Growl again. Makes me hot."
Vortigern chuckled slightly and shook his head. Octavian kept touching Mordred on the shoulder, arm, anywhere.
Gwen
"No reason. I'm more interested to see if Tav can actually do it."
Gwen shrugged.
Vortigern, Octavian & Mordred.
"Make him very bothered and confused? Yes. Make him do something that could in anyway be construed as cheating on you? No."
Vortigern shook his head slightly.
"Mordred's just not one of those people who takes sex lightly. Anyway. Are we going to meet any of your friends around here so we know you're being taken care of properly?"
Octavian ran his hand lightly through Mordred's hair. Mordred tossed his head slightly, very unsettled.
"Would you just stand still for a moment? There."
Octavian fixed Mordred's hair with a casual flick of his fingers. Mordred looked hunted, remebering very well the conversation with Gwen.
Gwen
"Speak of two of the devils," Gwen muttered as Billy and Dom sauntered up.
"Devils? Yes, handsome ones," Dom said, grinning cheekily.
"Whatever," Gwen replied, raising an eyebrow. "But hey."
"Hello," Billy said.
"Dom, Bill, this is Vortigern, Spike and Demetria. That's Octavian and Mordred."
The Mavericks, Spike & Faolan.
"Nice to meet ya, mates," Spike drawled, settling one hand around Vortigern's waist.
The golden haired teen rolled his eyes.
"Oh, stop it already with the jealous handling. Actually, keep on handling and stop with the jealousy. I'm Vortigern, and the leech that won't let go is Spike."
"Charmed, I'm sure," Demetria murmured, smiling.
"Call me Dem."
"Remember the name, you'll be calling it later," Octavian said.
Demetria slapped his shoulder lightly, and he winced exaggeratedly.
"Silly boy."
"Ah, you know what I am, mum. Anyway. Octavian, and call me Tav."
"Mordred," Mordred sighed.
He ran his hand along his jaw, looking away. Vortigern looked at his twin, and chuckled.
"Dad!" Faolan raced up, looked at Billy and Dom, then grinned.
"Hi!"
Gwen
"Hello there," Billy said, saluting to Faolan.
"He's trying for nice today," Dom murmured to Gwen.
"He's always nice, leave him alone," Gwen said, slapping Dom's shoulder.
"Anyway, shall we go for coffee?" Dom suggested.
"Where's Orli?" Gwen asked.
"With Lucy."
"Ah, cool."
The Mavericks, Spike & Faolan.
"Anyway..."
Faolan tugged on Mordred's hand.
"C'mon!"
"Back in a sec," Mordred said to the group, then followed his son.
"Ah, so DOMESTICATED!" Octavian yelled after Mordred.
"F*cking bite me!"
"Glad to! Where?"
A growl before Mordred flipped Octavian off. Octavian chuckled and Demetria giggled.
"Evilllll..."
"But oh so fun," Octavian said, grinning.
"Evil is fun," SPike said.
"I should know."
"Anyway, coffee?" Vortigern prompted gently.
Gwen
"Just this way," Dom said, pointing. "It's about a five minute walk."
"And a two minute run," Billy said, nodding.
"Yeah..." Gwen shook her head slightly.
They walked up to the coffee place and found a table.
Mordred, Vortigern, Spike & Faolan.
When Mordred and Faolan returned, he gave Octavian a measuring stare, then Gwen. Then hmphed.
"You're a little tattletale," Vortigern said to Faolan.
Faolan stuck his tongue out at Vortigern.
"I have to live with him. I don't have to live with them. And 'sides, I'm getting chocolate out of this deal."
"Cat or wolf?" Spike wondered out loud.
"Cat," Vortigern said.
"Wolf would want coffee."
He rolled his eyes as Spike dragged him into his lap, then settled. Spike licked over Vortigern's pulsepoint softly, then nuzzled it, humming slightly.
Gwen
Gwen sat down next to Dom and Billy, while the waitress came bustling over.
"Anyone ready?"
They all ordered and the waitress left again.
Octavian, Mordred, Spike & Vortigern.
"Just because Gwen put me up to it, doesn't mean I don't want to," Octavian began argumentivly.
"I'm straight," Mordred said flatly.
He ruffled Faolan's hair and the boy purred loudly.
"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, Fido," Spike said.
Mordred growled at him, eyes sparking gold. Spike lifted one scarred eyebrow.
"You want to throw down, Puppy? I can take you on and hang you out to dry."
"This is normal, please ignore," Vortigern said.
"Can we halt this I'm than manlier male pissing contest now?"
"Yeah, we'd need the elf to make it amusing," Mordred drawled.
Gwen
Dom leaned back in his chair and fiddled with the napkin dispenser. Gwen slapped his hand away.
"Stop fidgeting."
"Yes, mum. Besides, I can't help it, I picked up the fidgeting thing from Elijah."
"Yeah, that and herpes, boo hoo. Stop fidgeting."
"Sorry, mummy." Dom grinned and took her phone from her hands and spun that round on the table.
Mordred, Demetria & Octavian.
"I could wreck that, and a whole lot of problems would disappear," Mordred said in a thoughtful voice, staring at the phone.
Demetria slapped him up the back of the head.
"Ow!"
"Not before I've seen them."
"I think Gwen sent me most of them," Octavian said.
"They're on my computer."
Mordred deathglared him.
"What? *Years* of prime blackmail material. Matches the slideshow Dem has on me."
Gwen
Gwen handed her phone to Demetria.
"I have some good ones of you in there too. Not like Mordred's. I mean, you're dressed. And they're nice photos. Well, so are his, but... in different ways."
Dom grinned and flipped his phone open, he showed Gwen his background.
"How sweet is that picture? Bill took it while we were rehearsing."
"Why do I look so evil?" Gwen asked.
"Because ye are," Billy replied, nodding.
Demetria, Mordred & Spike.
"And they wouldn't be nice if I wasn't?" Demetria said in a mock sad voice.
Mordred just covered his eyes with his hands and sank down in his seat. Did the humilation never end?
"I think the thought of his ex and his wife together naked fried his poor little canine brain," Spike said.
Mordred managed a bloodcurdling snarl Spike's way.
"Ooh, almost scary, Fido," Spike said dryly.
"Or it would be if I didn't know who wears the pants and weilds the whip in your marriage."
Gwen
"If you want to be naked with Gwen, I'm sure we could drug her one night at dinner and set it up," Dom said, nodding. "Not that she'd have to be drugged to be with you, but she's much more co- operative that way."
"How do you know?" Gwen asked.
"Well, I assume. I mean, everyone's helpful when they're drugged."
The Mavericks & Spike.
"Like Tavvie," Demetria said gleefully.
"Oh so helpful and very obedient."
"Shush, Demetria," Octavian said.
"I'm still waiting for you to gush like a fangirl."
Demetria raised an eyebrow slightly.
"I'm an Edgerton-Smythe. We don't...gush."
"Oh yes? Then what happened the other night then?"
"That was shock. I'm well adjusted now."
"Oh, very well adjusted, I'm sure."
"I hate you."
"Love you too, Demetria darling. Finally, coffee."
The waitress came back with their orders and served them out.
"See, if they were telepathic, you wouldn't hear this," Vortigern said.
"Most of the twin talk between Mordred and me gets cut out. We just 'path it."
"Handy, useful, fun," Spike murmured.
A faint red coloured Vortigern's cheeks. Mordred massaged the bridge of his nose lightly with his fingertips.
Gwen
Gwen looked wistfully at Mordred, then covered it by reaching for her coffee. She missed him, but this really was for the best. Although, one last round of sex would tide her over for awhile. Bad, bad Gwen.
"So how long are you all staying for?" Billy asked. "Maybe you could watch a rehearsal, if you're not too busy. Watch Gwen try and pretend she loves Dom. It's difficult, so I feel your pain, Gwen."
"When have you pretended to love Dom?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah, it's not pretend, Bill. You do love me!" Dom exclaimed, prompting a few people to look over their way.
Mordred, Vortigern, Spike & Octavian.
Mordred shifted slightly in his seat as Spike nibbled kisses along Vortigern's throat. The people who had been looking before, openly stared.
"It's not fair to taunt the public with what they can't have," Octavian murmured, before sipping from his coffee.
"Who's taunting?" Spike said.
"Yeah, ok, maybe I am. But I'm allowed. Like Electrogirl over there always taunts every girl when she's with the wolf."
Gwen
Gwen looked away again and took a sip of her coffee.
"Bad Gwen, very bad, let's not have these thoughts... even though it's been nearly nearly two weeks... or maybe longer, but the point is, you can have some sort of self control..."
"Hey, Dem?" Billy said. "Um... oh this is going to sound sudden, but... you ever acted?"
Demetria, Spike & Vortigern.
"Well, I have been in a few school things, and I *was* going to be in one this *month* in fact, but our musical director ran off with the male lead."
Spike clutched at his leg and grunted in pain. Demetria raised an eyebrow at him and the vampire grimaced.
"Yeah, ok. My bad."
"You can make it up to me with chocolate. Diamonds. You know, girl things. You too," she added, looking at Vortigern.
"Sorry, Dem," Vortigern said.
Gwen
Gwen chuckled slightly and leaned back in her chair, picking a piece of lint from Dom's shoulder.
"Thanks, mummy," he said sarcastically.
"Oh, shut up."
Billy nodded. "Well... we have this role in our screenplay... and it's not like a starring role, but it's... do you think you could play Gwen's best friend?"
Demetria & Octavian.
Demetria blinked.
"Do you think I'm so blonde I'm going to say no?"
"So, that's a yes," Octavian said.
Gwen
"Yay! I have a best friend!" Gwen clapped happily.
"She was all aloooone, no one there beside heeeer," Dom sang.
"Come back with us, and we'll get you a script," Billy said.
"Oh we have this incredibly touching scene, Dem, there's crying and everything."
Demetria, Mordred & Octavian.
"Sounds delightful," Demetria said.
"Oh, and you'll get to see Orlando prance around in pink leather pants," Mordred said.
Octavian looked thoughtful.
"Yes, quite."
"Mind out of the gutter," Mordred said.
Gwen
"It's either pink or red, we're not sure yet. Although if they're red, we can borrow Gwen's pants," Billy said thoughtfully.
"If Orli fits into my pants I will kill myself," Gwen said, shaking her head.
Vortigern, Mordred, Spike & Faolan.
"No you won't," Vortigern said.
Faolan drank more of his chocolate milkshake thoughtfully, looking around.
"No snooping, Fao," Mordred said.
"Yeah, sorry, Dad."
Faolan made a face.
"Better then being like the Ice Queen," Spike said, then shuddered.
"Now there's a thought garaunteed to kill any arousal."
"Bleah, bad Spike!" Vortigern said.
"Jean equals bad!"
"Have to hurt her," Mordred murmured, crooking his fingers slightly.
"Have to wait in line," Spike said.
Gwen
"Now that talks of killing are arising, how about we go back to Bill's?" Gwen suggested.
"Smashing plan, absoultely spiffing," Dom said.
"Dom, get in your shut up mobile and drive away."
"Make me."
"I'll shock you down the stairs again."
"Ok, I'll be good. Let's go."
The Mavericks.
Mordred looked Bill and took the picture cleanly out of his mind. He then pushed it at Demetria.
"I have it."
"Vort?"
The twins constructed a false memory for the people in the cafe and made them look away. The group disappeared. Octavian sighed slightly.
"A little more warning would be nice."
Gwen
Gwen flopped down on the couch and picked up her script from earlier in the day.
Bill went rummaging around the room and found a new script and handed it to Dem.
"So, we practicing our first scene?" Dom said, grinning goofily.
"No, I have bruises. I cannot physically keep running into him," Gwen protested, rubbing her hip.
Spike, Mordred & Demetria.
"Get the wolf to kiss it better," Spike said.
"Or suck it up like a big girl, Sparky."
"Shut up, SPike," MOrdred said.
Demetria leafed through the script, reading it quickly.
Gwen
Gwen ignored Spike and flicked through the script.
"Can we do Bill's death scene?"
"I don't have a death scene," Billy said.
"Yeah... too bad." She grinned cheekily. "So, regretting your choice, Dem?"
Demetria & Octavian.
"No, I think it's going to be fascinating," Demetria said, looking up.
"Because if nothing else, she'll get to see Orlando nance around in either pink or red leather pants," Octavian said.
"Oh, you're the one with the elf lust, Tavvie."
Nevertheless, she leant over and smacked him on the head with the rolled up script.
"No, you're the one who thinks Hobbit feet are sexy," Octavian retorted.
He dodged her next blow.
"Ha, missed."
Gwen
Gwen chuckled and lifted one of Dom's hats from behind the chair. She put it on and focused on her script, eyes skimming the pages quickly.
"We're going to try it on stage first," Billy explained to Demetria. "Then someone might pick it up for a film. But Dom and I both love doing theatre work and Gwen... well she doesn't get a choice."
"Yeah, I just work here," Gwen said.
Demetria, Spike & Vortigern
"I'm more used to stage anyway," Demetria said.
"I just work here...what the servant girl at the brothel said to the priest," Spike murmured.
Vortigern hit him.
Gwen
Gwen mock glared at Spike then lay down on the couch, lifting Eavan onto her stomach and tickling the young girl on her feet.
"Mommy!" she giggled.
Dom grinned and nudged Billy, while they sorted through the papers.
"Dem, you want to try this scene with Gwen? Page... 15."
Demetria & Dom.
"Alright..."
Demetria leafed through to the page indicated.
"Any particular line, or should we just run it from the top?"
"From the top, I think," Dom said.
Demetria nodded slightly.
"I can't believe you sometimes."
Gwen
"Why not?" Gwen raised an eyebrow, slipping into a perfect British accent, while adjusting Dom's hat on her head. "Just give me one good reason."
Demetria & Octavian.
"Oh, you!"
Demetria smiled slightly.
"You're...absurd. Prepostorous. You're completely illogical! And I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that you don't care at all what people think about you. Really, you're turning into a complete bitch."
Octavian raised an eyebrow as Demetria continued.
"Congratulations."
Gwen
"Well thank you for your honesty, although I'm hardly surprised. Try to see it from my point of view."
Gwen sighed slightly and sat up in her seat, letting Eavan slide next to her.
"I love him, and nothing in the world stop me."
Demetria.
"Nothing at all? Silly girl. There's always someone better at the next party. Besides, I heard he's gay."
Demetria bit her lip.
"Which is all beside the point. Of course I'm very happy for you, if you are in love. I'm sure it's nice. I wouldn't know, not really."
Gwen
"Wait, who are you talking about?"
Gwen furrowed her eyebrows.
"Because if you're talking about Liam, then yes, he is very much gay, but I was talking about Todd. Who, up until last week, didn't even know I existed."
Dom grinned. That was him.
Demetria.
"Him? Him?! Oh, please do tell me you're joking," Demetria read in an indignant voice.
"You can't seriously...oh, Alyson, Alyson, Alyson..."
Gwen
"Oh hush, Lily. I know he's not... exactly as high in society as we are, but... he's... I don't know, he draws you in."
Gwen smiled and closed her eyes for a moment.
"He really is a wonderful person."
Demetria.
"A diamond in the rough? A theif with a heart of gold? Oh, Ally..."
Demetria shook her head slightly.
"Please tell me you're joking. Haha, very funny?"
Gwen
"Ok, stop," Billy instructed. "We don't actually have anymore of that scene, because we got stuck and thought of something else. We're bad and we procrastinate, we know."
"And you drink far too much," Gwen added.
"Yes, yes we do. Anyway, page... 180. Gwen's almost death scene, where you guys finally work things out, could you try that? And let's have real tears people."
"Demanding little fake hobbit," Gwen muttered.
Demetria.
Demetria shook her head slightly, then flipped through to find the page.
"Ally...Ally, where are you?"
Gwen
"I'm here," Gwen said, making her voice seem quiet and scared. "I just... I don't seem to know where here is, exactly."
Demetria.
"Ally, this really isn't funny. I want to go home," Demetria said in a pleading voice.
"I don't want to play hide and seek."
Gwen
"I'm not exactly laughing about this myself, Lily."
Dom nudged Billy.
"They're good together," he whispered.
"I can't... I can't move, my leg's stuck on something..."
Demetria.
"Ally, I can't see you!"
Demetria's voice was high and frightened.
"Ally! Oh, Ally...oh god. God."
Gwen
"Lily, it's ok... just... follow my voice."
Gwen made a small gasp of pain.
"Are you ok?" she called, blinking back tears.
Demetria.
"I...I'm fine. Fine. Really, really frightened but fine. Are you alright?"
Demetria shuddered in a breath.
"You don't sound ok."
Gwen
"I'm not... I'm not sure," Gwen said, in a small childlike voice. "Todd's passed out."
Dom grinned slightly.
"How do we even get out of here?"
Demetria.
"I don't know, I really don't know."
Demetria scratched the side of her face slightly, then fixed her hair out of the way.
"Wait... I can see you. Well, I think I can."
Gwen
"I can't see you, Lily!" Gwen's voice was panicked.
She stopped speaking and glared at Billy, who had, for fun, lifted her out of the seat and floated her up into mid air. She rolled her eyes and continued.
"I can't... I can't see..."
Demetria & Octavian.
Demetria turned the page of the script, barely glancing at Gwen. Octavian snickered.
"Someone's stealing your trick, Dem..."
Demetria ignored him.
"Ally, oh god. What happened?"
Gwen
"I don't know... I came here looking for - ARGH!"
Gwen cried out as Billy let her fall onto the chair.
"I hate you..."
Billy snickered.
"I came here looking for Todd, and... I can't move..."
Demetria.
"God. Ally...I think I need to call an ambulance. Do you know where Todd is?"
According to the instructions on the script, Demetria started to let tears streak down her cheeks.
Gwen
"I'm here," Dom said, in a pained voice. "I dropped my phone somewhere..."
"Are you ok?" Gwen asked, her lips quivering.
"I think so... are you alright, Lily?"
Demetria.
"I'm fine. Fine. Ally...you don't look so good."
Demetria sobbed in a breath.
Gwen
"I don't feel so good..." Gwen's voice broke slightly.
"Lily, you're going to have to go get help..."
Demetria.
"I can't! I can't...Ally, what if I can't find you again?"
Demetria let panic thread through her voice.
Gwen
A tear slipped down Gwen's cheek.
"I don't know... Lily... just go, save yourself."
Demetria.
"Alyson, I know I've been a bitch and actually not that good a friend sometimes, but if you seriously think I'm going to hare off and leave you here when you're hurt, you've got another think coming! I'll even, ugh, help Todd. And we all know now that I've gone completely barking, don't we? Offering to help *him*..."
Demetria coughed.
"Phone. Todd, do you have any idea where yours is?"
Gwen
Dom paused.
"I think... I dropped it about 10 metres the way you came."
Gwen's lips trembled as she opened her mouth.
"Lily... I honestly don't think I'm going to make it..."
Demetria.
"Don't be silly, of course you are."
Demetria cried a bit more.
"You have to, Ally. You just have to."
Gwen
"Lily?"
Gwen let her breathing go into sharp little breaths.
"I'm... so... sorry..."
Demetria.
"Sorry? Sorry for what?"
Demetria started to weep harder, while keeping her words clearly enunciated.
"You've nothing to be sorry for, Ally. You just...wait, and I'll go...call an ambulance. Something."
Gwen
"I'm sorry for not being the friend I should've been..."
"And cut!" Billy grinned. "That was really very good."
"Damn straight it was, I was in the scene," Dom pointed out.
The Mavericks & Spike.
Demetria wiped her face clean, smiling slightly.
"Yes, well..."
"Just that little bit fond of yourself there, mate," Spike drawled.
Vortigern sighed slightly and Mordred raised an eyebrow.
"What, you knew he was a snarky foulmouthed bastard of a vampire when you started going out with him. Don't act all surprised and resigned now."
"For once, the wolf is being astute," Octavian said.
Mordred growled at him.
"Looks like the play will be interesting to watch," Octavian said cheerfully, ignoring Mordred.
Gwen
"Yeah, there's nudity. Ok, no there's not. I can't entice you all with promises of naked people," Gwen said.
"There's flying," Billy said, nodding.
"No, there's not. There's nothing particularly outstanding besides the good looking cast," Dom cut in.
Mordred.
"Onstage kiss," Mordred said, looking at Gwen.
"She did convince you for Orli, didn't she?"
Gwen
"There's a few... Orli's doing one," Billy said, grinning cheekily. "And... well Orli does a few. He kisses Gwen's character and Dem's actually, to try and prove he's not gay. Then he kisses a guy. And Dom and Gwen have one... and somewhere in there, I have one with Dem."
"It's very incestuous... except we're not related," Dom supplied.
"Yeah, that made no sense," Gwen said, looking confused.
Mordred & Vortigern.
Mordred winced, and slapped himself on the forehead.
"Gah, bad thoughts."
"Hmm? Oh!"
Vortigern looked surprised, then started to laugh.
"All her ruddy fault, bleah," Mordred said, pointing at Gwen.
Gwen
Gwen grinned proudly.
"I still like the thought of Mordred and Tav though... that would be like..."
She stared off into space, then shook her head.
"Sorry, I'm back now."
The Mavericks.
Vortigern was still laughing, while Mordred just looked faintly disgusted.
"Share, for the non-telepathic," Octavian said.
"Me...and Mordred... hahahaha!" Vortigern laughed.
Demetria looked between the two twins and then smiled.
"Yes, quite."
"Anyway..."
Mordred coughed.
"If I kiss him, would that shut you up? Tav, I mean."
Gwen
"It's keep me satisfied for a short amount of time, yes. But it has to be a proper one... and for... two minutes."
Gwen's eyes twinkled.
Mordred & Octavian.
"You are insane, you know this, don't you? Completely and utterly insane?" Mordred said in what was almost disbelief.
Octavian chuckled.
"And don't you even bloody start."
Gwen
"Oh come on, it's Tav, look at him. I'd do it if you asked me too. Come on..." Gwen wheedled like a little girl.
Dom chuckled and threw a pillow at Gwen.
"You're evil."
"Hell yeah."
Mordred & Spike.
"Yeah, but I'm not going to ask you to and you know it," Mordred said.
He sighed and then stood.
"Fine. Whatever makes you happy...god, I'm insane."
"No, just whipped," Spike said.
"Shut up."
Mordred walked over to Octavian and looked back at Gwen.
"And I am *not* doing this again."
Gwen
"Next time I'll ask you to have sex with him," Gwen said seriously, but her eyes were sparkling with mischief.
Mordred & Octavian.
"That is *never* going to happen," Mordred said flatly.
Octavian sighed.
"Oh, I'm so hurt."
"Shut up, Tav."
Mordred kissed Octavian hard.
Gwen
"Damn. Guess asking for a threesome is out," Gwen joked.
Dom chuckled. "You could ask - "
"Oh just shut up."
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
Mordred would have answered, but his mouth was at the moment fully occupied. Octavian moaned and Demetria giggled.
"Sure you're not at least bi, Mordred?"
Mordred flipped her two fingers.
Gwen
Gwen pulled her phone out and made sure the video function recorded it, then took a few pictures.
"Man... that's hot."
Mordred & Octavian.
Feeling that enough time had passed, Mordred pulled back. He ran his tongue over his lips slightly, staring at Octavian. The blond haired teen looked wiped out, and very well kissed.
"Happy now, Gwen?" Mordred asked.
Octavian opened his eyes and looked at Gwen.
"You, are very lucky."
Gwen
"Oh yeah, that's going to give me some good dreams for a long time."
Gwen avoided Mordred's eyes slightly.
Mordred & Vortigern.
"Now I can never look Octavian in the eye again..." Mordred said as he sat back down in his chair.
"Do we have something else to talk about?"
"So, what is the play actually about?" Vortigern asked Dom and Billy.
"So far, I'm confused."
Gwen
Gwen lifted her legs into Dom's lap and took his scarf off him, plaiting the ends to keep herself busy.
"It's funny in bits... it's mainly about those two," Billy said, pointing to Dom and Gwen who were now arguing over the scarf. "They're in love... but Dem's character doesn't like Dom. Not that I blame her. And Gwen kind of surrenders to Dom."
"I'm a pushover, in other words," Gwen said. "But Dom doesn't like me at first."
"She's a one legged prostitute," Dom said, seriously.
"Oh I am not, shut up, you asshole."
Mordred & Vortigern
Mordred's eyes glowed ever so faintly gold. Vortigern slapped him over the back of the head.
"Don't growl at the hosts. Anyway, the play sounds good."
Mordred glanced at Vortigern, raising an eyebrow.
Gwen
"It's not really finished though," Billy explained.
"It's because you procrastinate. And you drink. A lot," Gwen supplied. "Honestly, he doesn't stop drinking. He's probably drunk right now."
Spike, Vortigern & Demetria.
"Man after my own heart," Spike said.
"What?" He said to Vortigern's sigh.
"If you weren't dead already, your lifestyle choices would have killed you," Demetria said.
"Yeah, but then an insane vampiress stepped in, saying she saw burning baby fishies swimming round my head. ANd I'd be dead by now anyway. Old age," Spike said.
Gwen
"Ugh, old age... I turned 26, ugh. Ugh," Gwen said, frowning.
"Oh boo hoo, I'm 35," Billy said.
"AHHHH!" Gwen yelled, grinning.
Spike, Octavian & Demetria.
"Hundred...twenty eight, I think."
Spike frowned slightly.
"Lost track at one point. Not that bothered, anyway."
"Well, that puts me and Tavvie as the youngest," Demetria said.
"Yes, we're much more good looking too," Octavian said.
Gwen
"I'm totally hotter than you, Tav. Not Dem, but you, Tav, definitely," Gwen retorted.
Octavian.
"Such scandalous lies!" Octavian gasped.
"And unfortunately, so untrue."
Gwen
"Nope, no way."
Gwen shook her head.
"Honestly, you are obviously dellusional."
Octavian & Mordred.
"Not delusional, simply truthful," Octavian said.
"Stupid argument," Mordred said.
Gwen
"Perhaps your version of the truth, but unfortunately... no one elses."
Gwen nodded.
"Sad, but true, I am way hotter than you. You're jealous that you can't touch this."
Octavian & Demetria.
"Obviously, plenty of people think I'm hotter then you," Octavian said.
"I get seen more then you do."
"Futility...anyway. Where are you going to show the play?" Demetria asked.
Gwen
"Just because I'm not an exhibitionist," Gwen countered.
"We're going to start here, just at a festival, then go to London, Ireland, and if it goes well, we'll think about the US," Billy said.
Octavian, Mordred & Demetria.
"I'm not the one who had sex in broad daylight in London Zoo," Octavian said.
"Nor, as exhibtionistic as I am, have I ever done it in a church."
Mordred coughed and looked up at the ceiling.
"He has you there," Demetria said to Gwen, then switched her attention back to the conversation with Billy and Dom.
"Sounds smashing."
Gwen
"You forgot the Tower of London," Gwen replied automatically. "But anyway, that was... all part of a plan to um... save the world. Yep. Mmmhmm."
Dom shook his head slightly.
"Yeah, nice save."
"Yeah, nice shut up."
Billy nodded. "We've put a lot of thought into it. Well, I have. Dom's content to fight with Gwen."
Demetria & Octavian.
"She does encourage that type of response," Demetria said carefully.
"Oh no, Gwen's sweetness and light with drugs mixed in, aren't you Gwen darrrrling?" Octavian said.
"And not a bitch at all."
Gwen
"Hey, I only really fight with Bobby and Dom," Gwen protested.
"And Orlando," Dom added. "Don't forget the throwing you in the bath incident, which wasn't fun for me because I got blamed. That's basically when our friendship ended."
"Hey Tav? Get in your shut up mobile and drive away."
Gwen nodded.
Octavian & Spike.
"And you can get in and come to the city of shut the hell up," Octavian shot back.
"Topped it," SPike said.
"Bout the only time you top anything, hey, Tav?"
"My sex life is none of your business," Octavian said.
Gwen
"Can we move on?" Dom asked.
"Can you?" Gwen said, grinning cheekily.
"You are a frustrating person."
"Oh I know."
Demetria & Octavian.
"Sometimes, I think he has Charm to go with his Agility," Demetria said.
Octavian grinned and leant in to her.
"That's just my stunning good looks and charming personality."
Gwen
Gwen looked at her watch.
"Man, I want to go shopping."
"Then go."
"You go."
"No, you."
"Bite me."
Demetria & Spike.
"Shopping! Let's go!" Demetria said.
"Bints," Spike said in disgust.
"This coming from the vamp who hasn't changed his look since the 70's," Demetria said.
"What? Good look. Classic, even. Classics never go out of style."
"Yeah, whatever, Billy Joel," Demetria said.
"I'll have you know he stole his look from *me*."
Gwen
"Wasn't it Billy Idol? At any rate, I need to get a dress for that thing. At the place."
"You can't remember where we're going, can you?"
Gwen looked indignant then shook her head.
"Ok, no."
Spike & Demetria.
Spike coughed.
"She's the one with the mixed up pop culture reference. I just hear Billy...and I go on automatic defensive."
"Yes, that's who I meant," Demetria said with dignity.
Gwen
"Personally, I find Sid Vicious sexier than Billy Idol," Gwen said. "But that's really not an issue at all. So I'll move on. Come on, shopping!"
Spike & Vortigern.
Spike looked at Vortigern.
"No, I do not feel like trying to stop my brother from killing you," Vortigern said.
"But the chit likes the Sex Pistols!"
"No."
Gwen
Gwen slid her wallet over to Octavian.
"Ahemlookunderthefirstpictureahem."
She grinned cheekily, waiting for Octavian to find even more blackmail material of Mordred.
"Who doesn't like the Sex Pistols? They're good. And if I could go back in time, I would go see them."
Octavian, Mordred & Spike.
Octavian looked, looked at Mordred and laughed.
"You're a very good photographer, Gwen. Ever thought of doing it proffesionally?"
Mordred covered his eyes.
"They were fanf*ckingtastic in concert," Spike said.
Gwen
"Why thank you, Octavian. But no, I think I'll stick to my career choice."
Gwen grinned.
"Well, I exhibit no surprise. I like 'No Feelings' the best. Let's find a time machine and go back to a Sex Pistols concert!"
She nodded.
"Oh, Tav, I caught the whole kiss on film, so I'll be sure to send that on to you."
Spike, Vortigern, Octavian & Mordred.
Spike grinned.
"Knew I liked you, ducks."
"Isn't there an alien who can do that?" Vortigern said.
"Mmm, yes."
Octavian smiled nostaligically.
"Quiet thoughts, Tav," Mordred said.
Gwen
"Quiet thoughts?"
Gwen decided to be mean and pictured Mordred and Octavian having sex.
Vortigern & Mordred.
"Very vivid there, Sparks," Vortigern drawled.
"Gah!"
Mordred slapped his hands over his eyes.
"No! Bad thoughts! Dammit!"
Gwen
Gwen grinned evilly.
Octavian ran a hand down Mordred's back, lowering his mouth to his nipple rings, tugging gently.
Gwen chuckled.
Mordred.
"Dammit, this is worse then the messenger conversation," Mordred said.
"Least then I was far enough away I didn't know what you were thinking so vividly."
Gwen
Gwen pictured herself in the middle of Mordred and Octavian.
"Hmmm," she said, smiling innocently.
Mordred & Octavian.
"Oh, HELL no," Mordred said.
He glared at Octavian.
"You *ever* lay a hand on Gwen, and I will flay you alive."
Octavian blinked and shrank back slightly.
Gwen
Gwen hummed to herself and changed the thought.
Mordred, Vortigern and Octavian...
Demetria, Mordred & Vortigern.
"Do we want to know?" Demetria said.
"No, you don't," Mordred gritted.
Vortigern laughed and shoved the thought at her. Demetria's eyes went wide, and she squeaked slightly.
Gwen
Gwen smiled innocently.
Mordred topping Vort... Tav blowing Vort...
Demetria.
"You are so bad," Demetria said in an awed voice, looking at Gwen as Vortigern kept relaying the images.
Gwen
"Yeah..."
Gwen added Spike in.
Spike topping Vort... Vort blowing Mordred... Tav topping Mordred...
Demetria & Mordred.
"Somehow, I don't see Mordred as the ah, bottom," Demetria said conversationally.
"God, hope not," Mordred said.
"Anyway, can we please go on to something else?"
Gwen
"Oh neither, but I thought it'd be kinda hot to see him being topped," Gwen replied casually. "Ok, let's move on... to shopping. Shopping is always good."
"Do you remember where we're going yet?" Bill asked.
"Well, no. But I do remember Dom said I need to be fairly dressed up. And that's when I stopped listening. I mean, who cares where I'm going? If I need to get new clothes, then I'm there!"
Demetria.
"What does happen to the costumes afterwards?" Demetria asked.
"Do the actors keep them, passed on to another production, charity, what?"
Gwen
"We're going to auction some off, and some go to another production. Except our own clothes which we use," Billy explained.
"Yeah! Come on, shopping!" Gwen said, getting to her feet.
Demetria & Vortigern.
"Shopping it is," Demetria said, getting up.
"Where are we going?"
"Always a good question," Vortigern said.
Gwen
"Just down the road... there's some really good shops there," Gwen said, nodding.
"Alright, come on," Billy said, getting to his feet.
Demetria.
"Yes, let's go," Demetria agreed.
The group left, chatting casually.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Demetria asked.
Gwen
"I need a dress for... a premiere! Ha, I remembered!" Gwen said, looking triumphant.
"And then, just clothes in general."
Demetria, Octavian & Mordred.
Demetria giggled.
"Well, I hope your wallets can stand this," Octavian said to Billy and Dom.
"When Dem goes shopping, she goes *shopping*."
"Scary," Mordred agreed.
Gwen
"What does this have to do with our wallets?" Dom asked.
"Well, if you want me to go, you're buying me the dress," Gwen answered sweetly. "Plus costumes."
"Oh, we budgeted in that, it'll be fine," Billy said.
Octavian, Demetria & Mordred.
Octavian laughed.
"Not, I think, the way Dem shops."
"Shush!"
"We're only warning the nice Hobbits, Demmie."
"Why? We wouldn't warn Merry and Pip," Mordred said.
"Might warn Frodo."
Gwen
Gwen stopped and pointed, words seeming to leave her.
"There?" Dom asked, pointing.
"Yes!"
Octavian, Mordred, Vortigern & Spike.
"There it is then," Octavian sighed.
"And may God have mercy on our souls."
"Well, he doesn't have one for a start," Mordred said, jerking his head at Spike.
"Yeah, true," Vortigern said.
"Too bloody right," Spike said, preening slightly.
"The Big Bad, yeah, we know," Mordred said.
Gwen
Gwen grinned and headed into the store, stopping in front of a rack of clothes.
"Oooh, Octavian, can I borrow you for a moment?"
Octavian.
"Why?" Octavian asked warily.
"What do you want?"
Gwen
"I need to ask you a favour. Again."
Gwen took his arm and pulled him away.
Mordred & Octavian.
"I'm afraid," Mordred said.
Octavian glanced back over his shoulder but let Gwen lead him away.
"What favour do you need, exactly?"
Gwen
"So... if I can get Mordred into a dressing room, and get out quickly, do you think you could go in and freak him out some more?"
Gwen shrugged.
"I'm feeling evil."
Octavian.
"Yes, quite probably," Octavian said.
"But I really don't feel like getting punched today. Always a possibilty with Mordred.
Gwen
"Hmmm, I could prevent him from punching you, I guess..."
Gwen shrugged.
Octavian.
"That would be nice," Octavian said.
"By the end of this, you're going to owe me quite a few favours."
Gwen
"I'd offer you a blow job, but we know I can't actually give you that."
Gwen smiled sweetly.
"Alright, I'll go get Mordred."
She grabbed the nearest dress to her and went over to Mordred, taking his hand and leading him away.
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
"What do you want, exactly?" MOrdred asked cautiously.
He didn't trust her at the moment. She had an evil grin.
Octavian smiled slightly, watching them.
"So, what type of clothes for costume am I looking for?" Demetria asked.
Gwen
"We should talk... privately."
Gwen led him into a changing room and stood so she was standing against the door.
Billy thought for a moment.
"Ye'll need mostly casual... but nice clothes. And a sort of... revealing outfit for the party scene."
Mordred & Demetria.
"Yes, talking now. Talking is good," Mordred said.
He looked at her.
Demetria nodded.
"Think I can manage that..."
She started to browse.
Gwen
"I think... I think we're doing ok, don't you? I mean, with the whole friends deal we're kinda having."
Gwen hung the dress up on the holder in the changeroom and pretended to look at the size.
"Damn, I'll be right back, ok?"
Mordred & Octavian.
"Yeah, ok."
Mordred stuck his hands in his pockets, feeling out of place.
Octavian raised an eyebrow at Gwen as she left the cubicle then slowly moved over to it. He entered silently.
Mordred jumped slightly.
"Tav?"
"Mordred."
The blond grinned, then kissed Mordred hard.
Gwen
Gwen watched with interest, pulling her phone out to film it again.
God, that was hot.
Mordred & Octavian.
"Mmph!"
Mordred's arms windmilled slightly in shock. Octavian took advantage of this to slide his hand down Mordred's pants.
Gwen
Thank God the changerooms were huge.
Gwen stood watching, a smile on her face.
Mordred & Octavian.
"Dammit, Tav, stop!" Mordred hissed, managing to get his mouth free.
Octavian pouted at him, and Mordred moaned softly as Octavian stroked him.
"Oh, really?"
Gwen
Gwen opened the door and closed it behind her. She stood with a smile on her face, blocking the door.
Mordred & Octavian.
"Goddamit, Gwen...ahhhhh," Mordred started to say, then moaned.
His blue eyes fought to focus, anger and arousal flickering across his face. Octavian moved his fingers just a bit faster and Mordred's hips bucked helplessly.
Gwen
"Shhh."
Gwen covered his lips with her own, her hand joining Octavian's in his pants.
Mordred & Octavian.
"Gwen!"
Mordred couldn't manage much more then that half formed protest. He kissed her back, for the moment ignoring Octavian's presence.
Octavian skinned Mordred's jeans down around his ankles and swallowed him whole. Mordred's eyes opened wide and he moaned into Gwen's mouth.
Gwen
Gwen kissed Mordred deeper, playing with his tongue stud as her hand fondled his balls.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred just gave up and surrendered, kissing Gwen back. His hips thrust and Octavian gagged for a moment, then returned to what he was doing. He wet a finger in his mouth, then slowly entered Mordred with it. The blackhaired teeth almost protested, then Octavian nudged his prostate.
"Ah, holy f*ck!"
Gwen
Gwen sat on the bench in the changeroom, and opened Mordred's shirt. She licked across his nipples, tugging on the silver rings as he foot massaged Octavian through his pants.
Mordred & Octavian.
"Ah!"
Mordred's back arched. Octavian moaned around Mordred, hips bucking slightly.
Gwen
Gwen slowly let her foot rub Octavian harder, one hand reaching down to unzip his pants.
Mordred & Octavian.
Octavian worked another finger into Mordred, carefully. The other teen was obviously a virgin...at least, this way. Mordred almost whined, head thudding back onto the cubicle wall as Octavian moaned deeply.
Gwen
Gwen slithered down to the ground and pulled Octavian from his pants. She gently slid her hand up and down.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian moaned, bucking into her hand, then deepthroated Mordred again. Mordred cried out softly and came, Octavian swallowed repeatedly.
Gwen
Gwen pulled Octavian's head back and she kissed him deeply, chasing out Mordred's taste in his mouth.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred gasped as Octavian's fingers shifted slightly inside him.
"Ah godddd..."
Octavian kissed Gwen back, letting her control the kiss.
Gwen
Gwen broke the kiss off, then lowered her head to Octavian's length.
Well, Mordred was obviously not that adverse to sharing...
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred looked down as Octavian moaned softly and nearly said something. Then Octavian's fingers hit his prostate again, and he saw stars.
Gwen
Gwen took Octavian further in her mouth, humming around him, then sparking gently.
A hand went up to rub Mordred's length.
Octavian & Mordred.
"Ah god," Octavian gasped softly.
"Gwen..."
Mordred growled, then moaned.
Gwen
"I still love you, my darling boy," Gwen whispered to Mordred.
She sparked around Octavian again, taking him so she was deep throating him.
A hand twisted Mordred's nipple rings.
Rebekah
"Tav... you flatter me, when it should be the other way around."
Rebekah shook her head.
"The fact that you came after me, twice... you're an amazing guy, and I'm sorry that I dragged you into this, when you probably just want to be doing something else."
Gwen
Gwen swallowed around Octavian, letting her fingers spark gently as she fondled his balls.
Hmmm... maybe she and Mordred should ask Octavian to stay over... a lot...
Mordred & Octavian.
Octavian gasped, then came, shuddering slightly.
Mordred's fingers dug into the wall behind him as Octavian's fingers twisted.
Gwen
Gwen swallowed and stood, kissing Mordred and letting him taste Octavian as she delved her tongue into his mouth.
"Hmmm..."
She undid her pants and stepped out of them, then hitched herself up and wrapped her legs around Mordred's waist, sliding onto his length slowly.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred's hands came round to hold her automatically. He could taste Octavian in her mouth, and it just tasted...odd.
Octavian slid his fingers out of Mordred and started to adjust his clothing slightly, generally cleaning himself up.
Gwen
Gwen's hand went behind her to rub Octavian through his pants again, as she kissed Mordred harder.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred thrust into her shallowly, kissing her back. Octavian moaned softly.
Gwen
Gwen pulled away from Mordred and moved Octavian closer to her. She kissed him deeply, her tongue delving into his mouth.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian kissed her back. Mordred growled softly as his fingers tightened on her hips.
Gwen
Gwen moaned into Octavian's mouth, one hand pulling Mordred's nipple rings. She tightened around him, and then came.
Mordred & Octavian.
"Ah, god!"
Mordred's hips bucked as he came. Octavian kissed down Gwen's neck.
Demetria looked around for Mordred and Gwen. No Mordred and Gwen. No Vort and Spike. She shook her head in disgust. Oh god, not again!
Gwen
Gwen slid down Mordred's body and closed her eyes lazily.
"Mmmm."
She slid her hand down Octavian's pants.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian's hips bucked upwards and he moaned.
Mordred panted, then pulled Octavian's head up to kiss him.
Gwen
Gwen took Octavian's hand and put it on her upper thigh, nudging it to go up slowly.
She slid her free hand over Mordred's length.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian slid two fingers into her, thumb working over her stud. MOrdred kept kissing him, moaning softly as he slid a hand into Octavian's pants.
Gwen
"Oh God..."
Gwen fastened her lips to Octavian's neck and she gave him a hickey.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian leant his head backward, panting slightly. He kept moving his fingers.
Mordred massaged Gwen's breast with his other hand.
Gwen
Gwen moaned softly and stroked Mordred's length harder. She twisted his nipple rings with her other hand.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred ran his nails down Octavian's length and the other teen bucked and moaned.
"So weird..."
Mordred shook his head slightly, then kissed Gwen.
Gwen
Gwen kissed Mordred back, then pulled Octavian's fingers from her, and slipped her hand from Mordred's pants. She fixed her clothing, putting it on where necessary and left the change room.
"You look pleased with yourself," Dom commented.
"Yeah... um, the dress looked good."
Octavian & Mordred.
MOrdred moaned slightly, and Octavian gasped as the other teen's fingers tightened faintly.
"Ah god!"
Mordred looked at him, then kissed him hard.
"F*ck it."
Gwen
"So, do you want this one?" Dom asked.
"Why don't we shop around some more?" Gwen suggested, casting a thoughtful look at the change room she'd just been in.
"Another store?"
Gwen smiled evilly. "Why not?"
Demetria, Mordred & Octavian.
"Yes, why not? I haven't found anything," Demetria said.
Octavian came into Mordred's hand, gasping slightly. Mordred looked thoughtful for a moment, then wiped his fingers clean on a hankerchief. He leant his head back as Octavian took him into his mouth, rolling his balls in his fingers.
Gwen
Gwen took Dom's hat off his head as they left the store, and arranged on her own head.
"That one," Gwen said, pointing.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred hissed as he came. Octavian swallowed, then sat up. The two guys fixed themselves up and cleaned up slightly.
"They left," Mordred said.
"We'll just have to catch up."
Mordred ;ported them both to near where the group was.
"Not nice, leaving," Mordred said.
Octavian smiled a cat got the canary grin.
Gwen
Gwen grinned and went into the store. She found a dress and went into the change room.
Demetria, Octavian & Mordred.
"Honestly!" Demetria hissed, punching Octavian on the shoulder.
"I'm not the one you should be punching this time! Truly!" Octavian said defensively.
"Shoud be Gwen."
Mordred rubbed his thumb thoughtfully over his upper lip.
Gwen
Gwen stepped out of the change room and struck a pose, in a long tight fitted blue and green sparkling dress, with a split from her mid thigh down.
"That... that's good..." Dom said, nodding.
"I thought so too," Gwen said, smoothing her hands down the cool fabric.
"So I'll wear this to the premiere."
"Mmm," Dom said, just nodding.
Mordred.
"Looks good, cariad," Mordred said.
He glanced at Dom and growled softly.
Gwen
Gwen shot Mordred a warning glance and went back in the change room. She changed back into her clothes and handed the dress to Dom who went to pay for it, grumbling good naturedly.
The Mavericks & Spike.
Spike and Vortigern almost fell in the door of the shop, both laughing. When Spike raised his head, there was blood around his mouth and he hissed at the shop assistant, eyes glowing golden. She blanched and took a step backwards. Vortigern laughed harder.
Demetria and Octavian shared a worried glance. Vortigern wasn't normally like this. They didn't see any fangmarks on Vortigern either...not new ones. His mouth only had blood where Spike had kissed him. Yes, they were worried.
Mordred snorted.
"For God's sake, clean it up a little."
"Sod off," Spike snarled at Mordred.
"I can smell what you've been doing. Or who. None of your f*cking business if I've been hunting."
"If the police come it may be," Mordred said.
"Well, there ain't no body to find, so that's fixed," Spike said almost sulkily.
Gwen
Gwen took the bag from Dom and smiled uncertainly.
"You ok?" he asked quietly.
"What? Oh yeah, thanks."
Spike & the Mavericks.
"Princess is all settled in her apartment, we've seen Sparks. I have...business to attent to," Spike said.
"Zap us home, Werewolf of London?"
"Not English, but yeah, sure," Mordred said.
He walked over to Vortigern and Spike, putting a hand on their shoulders.
"Back in a tick."
"Bye, all!" Vortigern said.
The three disappeared.
Demetria put a finger to her mouth looking thoughtful. Octavian blinked then shook his head.
"Odd..."
Gwen
"Why do I get the feeling I was checked up on today?" Gwen murmured to herself.
"Should we all go out to dinner tonight?" Dom asked.
Demetria & Octavian.
"No plans," Octavian said.
"And if Mordred has any, which I doubt...he'll ditch them."
Demetria leaned in to whisper in Gwen's ear.
"Of course he was checking. Silly boy that he is."
Gwen
Gwen sighed.
"Oh well."
"Shall we get going?" Billy suggested.
Mordred, Demetria & Octavian.
Mordred flickered back into existence, then stretched slightly.
"So, any plans?"
"We're going out to dinner, apparently," Demetria said.
"Nice, casual or dressy?" Octavian asked.
Gwen
"We'll do dressy," Billy decided.
"Fun," Gwen said.
"So, home?"
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
"Yes, to get ready," Demetria said.
"Mordred? I'll take Tav."
"Fine."
Demetria nodded, then looked at her watch.
"See you in a bit. I'll come back to Gwen's hotel room."
The twins disappeared, and Mordred 'ported himself, Gwen, Billy and Dom back to Billy's house.
Gwen
"So we'll meet you back here in an hour?" Dom said.
"Sounds good," Gwen replied, nodding.
Mordred.
"I'll take you to your hotel room, Gwen?" Mordred asked.
"Then I'll take the kids to the babysitters at the mansion."
Gwen
"Cool, let's go."
Gwen lifted Eavan up into her arms and took Mordred's arm.
Mordred & Faolan.
"Awww," Faolan pouted.
"Well, you can either go there and play Xbox, or come and be bored at a resteraunt," Mordred said.
"Xbox!"
"Well, that's settled. See you in a few."
Mordred nodded at Dom and Billy as he picked up Bryant and took Faolan's hand. The small family disappeared.
Gwen
Gwen arrived at her hotel room and handed Eavan to Mordred. She kissed all of the children and yelled out a goodbye and dashed to the bathroom.
Mordred.
Mordred shook his head slightly.
"Women."
Then he teleported away. He settled the kids with the babysitters, then went to have a shower and change. He couldn't get over what had happened in the shop. It kept running through his mind, over and over. God, he was going to go insane.
When the hour had passed, he teleported back to Gwen's room.
"Gwen love?"
Gwen
Gwen came out of the bathroom, dressed in a short, dusky pink, satiny dress. It was tied up in a criss cross pattern in the back, and her shoes were a perfect match. She'd straightened her hair and done a zig zag part, with the ends flicked out slightly.
"Ready."
She grabbed her bag.
Mordred.
"You look beautiful," Mordred said.
He took his hands out of the pockets of his black leather pants and held one out to her. The deep sapphire blue of his silk shirt shimmered slightly as his arm moved.
"Shall we, milady?"
Gwen
Gwen took his hand and smiled slightly.
"Ok."
Mordred, Demetria & Octavian.
Mordred smiled, and they were gone. A few seconds after they had arrived, Demetria and Octavian shimmered into sight.
Demetria's long red dress went down to her ankles, with a slit up one side almost to her waist. It had a plungingly low neckline, which set off the single ruby pendant shining on her throat. Red droplets which almost looked like blood glimmered from her ears, hair upswept into a mass of golden curls.
Octavian was dressed in black, with platinum bands around his wrists and throat. His shirt was open to the second button.
"All here and accounted for?" Octavian drawled.
Gwen
"Yep," Gwen confirmed as Billy and Dom appeared.
"Oh God."
"What?" Dom asked.
"The One Jacket," she replied.
"Hey, I like this jacket," he protested.
"I know, too much. Hence The One Jacket."
Billy furrowed his eyebrows.
"Huh?"
"Well, there's a fandom on the net about Dom's jacket. Honestly, man, people think it holds some sort of significance..."
"Like what?" Dom asked, quirking an eyebrow.
Gwen laughed.
"They think it was a gift from Elijah."
Demetria, Mordred & Octavian.
Demetria giggled.
"Slaaaaasher."
"What?" Mordred asked.
"Fanfic term, darrrrrling. Slash is male male relationships, not put in canon."
"People write that kind of stuff?" Mordred asked.
Octavian grinned.
"My oh my, Dem's being a bad girl. What shock. What horror. What sites?"
"I like Lure of the Ring, myself," Demetria said.
"RPS, and FPS."
Gwen
"Hey, you know what we should hire?" Gwen started, eyes twinkling as she grinned at Dom and Billy.
"Don't you dare," Dom said. "You do... and... I'll..."
"You'll nothing!"
"I will so... I'll um... do something."
"Let's hire 'Lord Of The Strings'," Gwen said, nodding. "It's a lovely porn movie, involving rings of a sort..."
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
Mordred blushed slightly, and stared off over everyone else's heads.
Octavian chuckled wickedly.
"Where has this side of your personality come from, Gwen dear?"
"Goodness knows it's been-"
"In hiding or something similair-"
"Because you're just about to shock-"
"Mordred out of those extremely sexy-"
"And spraypainted on leather pants," Demetria finished.
Gwen
Gwen thought for a moment. This had always been her, it had just been pushed aside with Mordred, for the most part.
"Remember when we were watching Lord Of The Strings and you didn't realise is was porn?" Gwen said, giggling.
"Shut up, it started out like... not porn," Dom started.
"I still can't believe that you pay for the porn channel, Bill," Gwen said.
Billy grinned.
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
"Good to see an investment pay off," Octavian said.
"I own a lot of stock in the entertainment industry."
"What, you don't just star in it?" Mordred jibed.
"That has never happened...I think," Octavian said thoughtfully.
Demetria giggled.
"Entertainment industry...nice positive spin to it, Tavvie."
Gwen
"Hey, with the video I have on my phone of you two, you could make some sort of movie..." Gwen grinned and fished her phone out.
"Anyone want to see?"
"No thanks," Billy and Dom said in unison.
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
"If it wasn't Tav, yes," Demetria said.
Mordred glared at Octavian.
"Don't even dare think about it."
Octavian pouted, looking cute.
Gwen
"Awww, he's so cute," Gwen said.
"Shall we?" Billy suggested.
"Yes, we shall."
Demetria, Mordred & Octavian.
"Where and how are we getting there?" Mordred asked.
Octavian smiled at Gwen.
"Ta muchly, Gwen."
"Oh, don't inflate his ego anymore," Demetria said.
Gwen
"But he is and he has a big - "
Dom clapped his hand over Gwen's mouth. "Finish that and I'll boot you up the arse."
"Promise?" Gwen grinned.
"Impossible girl."
"Gay."
"We'll take the cars, who wants to go with who?" Billy asked.
"Bags the Jag!" Dom and Gwen yelled at the same time.
Mordred, Demetria & Octavian.
"I'll go with Gwen," Mordred said softly.
"Wherever, whatever, all is good," Octavian said.
Demetria covered her mouth to hide her smile.
"Whatever, darrrrlings..."
Gwen
Billy tossed the car keys to Gwen and she stuck her tongue out at Dom.
"I'm driving, suck it up, hobbit," she said, jiggling the keys. "Come on, let's goooooo."
She led Mordred and Dom to the car.
Billy shook his head.
"If she scratches that car again... actually, that was Dom last time, nevermind. Anyway, come on, we'll take the other car."
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
Mordred ran a hand down the paintwork, near lust in his eyes.
"Nice car, mate."
Demetria, Dominic and Octavian went out to the other car.
Gwen
Gwen grinned and opened the car, sliding into the drivers seat.
"God, there should be more than one seatbelt for when you drive," Dom said.
"Oh shut up, at least I can handle the speed."
Gwen started the car and revved the engine.
"Scared yet anyone?"
Mordred.
"No," Mordred said, getting in.
"I drive a motorbike. My bike flies compared to a car. Even a good one like this."
Gwen
"I'm poohing my pants," Dom said.
"Well, don't get it on the seats."
Gwen grinned and shifted into reverse and drove out of the garage. She changed into first and took off down the street, eventually ending in fifth as she took the car to it's limit.
"If I die, I just want you to know that I hate you."
"Right back at ya, baby," Gwen replied, eyes never leaving the road.
Mordred.
"Come on, Gwen, I thought you said we were supposed to be scared?" Mordred drawled.
"I am!" Dom said vehemently.
"Nancy."
Gwen
"Diddums," Gwen teased, zooming through an orange light and taking the corner at a ridiculous speed.
"You know... you shouldn't go round a corner in fourth..." Dom started.
"Are you driving?"
"No, but I wish I - AH!"
"F*ck!" Gwen slammed on the brakes as a car cut across her.
"Reflexes of a cat."
"Yeah..."
Mordred.
"Can I drive on the way back?" Mordred asked.
Gwen
"Yeah, then Dom and I can get frisky in the back seat," Gwen joked.
"You wish."
"You wish."
"Nightmare, not a wish."
"Cutting."
Gwen flicked the radio on with one hand and turned the corner, shifting into fifth gear down the long street.
"AHHH!"
"Pussy." Gwen chuckled and started singing to the radio. "Coz you walk pretty and you talk pretty..."
Mordred.
"Meow, kitties."
Mordred closed his eyes and leant back against the seat.
Gwen
Gwen pulled up at the restaraunt and slid into the parking spot neatly.
"Don't tell me that wasn't fun," she said, smiling.
"It wasn't..."
Gwen hopped out of the car and adjusted her dress, before locking the doors once everyone was out.
Billy pulled up moments later, with Tav and Dem.
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
Mordred grinned.
"Fanf*ckingtastic, Gwen."
Demetria let Octavian help her out of the car, flashing a fair bit of leg as she did so.
Gwen
"Yeah, real fun," Dom grumbled.
"Diddums, come on," Gwen said, walking with him into the restaraunt. "You still poohing your pants?"
"Yes."
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
Mordred snickered.
"F*cking unbelievable. You want scary driving? Spike's the worst driver on the face of this earth. Cos he's already dead, and he doesn't care if other people die too."
"Rather cold," Octavian said.
"But that's just Spike," Demetria said.
Gwen
Dom shook his head.
"It's not that I don't trust Gwen... well, it's partly that."
"I've been driving since before you were in nappies, baby boy," Gwen retorted.
"I'm older than you!"
"Oh yeah."
Billy went and gave their name to the waiter and they were led to their table.
Demetria, Mordred & Octavian.
"Forgetting how to add in your old age?" Octavian said archly.
Mordred growled at him, and Octavian laughed.
"Very scary," Demetria said.
Gwen
Gwen stuck her tongue out at Octavian as she sat down at the table, next to Dom. She pulled her phone out and typed in a quick message to Tav.
"Today was fun... feel like a repeat? I can probably convince Mordred to go to the bathroom..."
Octavian.
Octavian picked up his phone and read the message. He quickly typed one back.
"Why not? Maybe I can convince him to f*ck me this time."
Gwen
Gwen waited for Mordred to sit next to her, then slid her hand over his crotch. She leaned over.
"Bathroom?" she whispered.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred swallowed and nodded.
Octavian turned away to hide his smile.
"Follow you in five?" Mordred murmured.
Gwen
Gwen nodded and trailed her fingers over him one last time, then got up and excused herself.
She strutted to the bathroom, hips swaying seductively as she disappeared.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred waited for a bit then left, excusing himself. Octavian waited a few seconds, then followed him.
Mordred entered the bathroom Gwen had gone into, carefully turning everyone's eyes and minds from it. He walked over to her and kissed her. Octavian slipped into it behind him.
Gwen
Gwen kissed him back, looking at Octavian as he entered the bathroom. She pulled back from Mordred.
"Hey you."
Mordred & Octavian.
"Hey," Mordred said softly, stroking her cheek.
Octavian snickered, and slid his hands around Mordred's waist into his pants, cupping him in one palm. Mordred made a surprised sound.
"Hey yourself."
Gwen
Gwen kissed Octavian over Mordred's shoulder.
"Well, I should leave you to it."
Mordred & Octavian.
"Ta, Gwen," Octavian said easily.
"The f*ck?" Mordred choked out.
Gwen
Gwen undid Mordred's pants and pulled them down. She undid Octavian's and took Mordred's hand in hers and slid it over Octavian's length.
"Have a good night."
Octavian & Mordred.
"Don't want to watch, Gwen?" Octavian asked politely.
Mordred looked at Gwen disbelievingly.
"You have got to be f*cking kidding me."
Gwen
Gwen grinned.
"Maybe I will."
She bent down and licked at Mordred's length.
"Come on, you can't deny not wanting this."
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred's hips bucked slightly and he moaned.
"God, Gwen..."
"Don't you want to f*ck me? Gwen doesn't care, I want to get f*cked, you want to f*ck, what's the problem?" Octavian asked.
Gwen
"That's what I figured."
Gwen stood and kissed Mordred gently.
"So come on, we all win."
Mordred & Octavian.
"God," Mordred said.
"I don't think he's listening," Octavian said.
He slid his hand down Mordred's length, then leaned round to kiss Gwen.
"Don't want to stay?"
Gwen
"Depends... you're going to f*ck me, aren't you, Tav?"
Gwen reached behind Mordred and stroked Octavian gently.
Octavian & Mordred.
"Depends if Mordred is going to kill me or not," Octavian moaned.
"I won't, ok?" Mordred said.
"So..."
Octavian snickered slightly and dug in his pocket for lube.
"So, Mordred. Ready to f*ck?"
He put the tube in Mordred's hand and the black haired teen shrugged slightly, before putting some lube on his fingers. Octavian moaned slightly as Mordred slid a finger into him.
Gwen
Gwen grinned and licked across Mordred's lips.
"Good boy."
Mordred & Octavian.
"You realise how absolutely perverted this is?" Mordred said.
He slid a second finger into Octavian and the blond spread his legs slightly, moaning deeply.
"Yes, that's what makes it fun."
Gwen
"Interestingly... I don't seem to care at the moment."
Gwen lifted her dress over her head and hung it over a cubicle door. She stood there in heels, and a lacy black g string.
Mordred & Octavian.
"God..." Mordred murmured.
Octavian moaned as his fingers brushed over his prostate.
"God, Mordred!"
"So...Gwen. You want to watch me f*ck him first?"
Gwen
"Sounds good."
Gwen kissed Mordred gently.
Mordred & Octavian.
"Alright..."
Mordred kissed her back, then slid his fingers out of Octavian. The blond moaned softly, then his eyes snapped open wide as Mordred slid into him fully.
"Ah god!"
Gwen
"Man, that's hot."
Gwen perched herself on the sink counter and watched in amusement.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred's fingers gripped Octavian's hips and he breathed in deeply. Octavian moaned and tightened.
"Ah god!"
Mordred started to thrust, setting up a powerful rhythm with his hips.
Gwen
"Good, isn't he?" Gwen said conversationally.
Octavian & Mordred.
"Ahhhh, yesssss..." Octavian moaned.
Mordred growled slightly and bit down on Octavian's shoulder.
Gwen
"Hmmm, growly."
Gwen hopped off the counter and bent down in front of Octavian. She took him in her mouth slowly.
Mordred & Octavian.
Octavian moaned.
"Ahhhhh, Gwen..."
Mordred growled slightly.
Gwen
Gwen hummed around him and took him deeper in her mouth, sparking lightly around him.
Basically showing Octavian why Mordred married her.
Octavian & Mordred.
"Ah god!"
Octavian's hips bucked slightly and he moaned. Mordred thrust into him harder, holding onto his hips with a tight grip.
Gwen
Gwen rolled Octavian's balls in her fingers, sparking through them lightly as she deep throated him.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian moaned, then came. Mordred panted as Octavian tightened around him rhytmically.
"God!" Mordred moaned as he came.
Gwen
Gwen swallowed and licked Octavian clean, then stood up, kissing Mordred gently.
"Hmmm, well then."
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred kissed her back.
Dammit, but he was confused.
Octavian stood and stretched slightly.
"Good God, Gwen...and you could still walk in the mornings?"
Gwen
"You get used to it. Mostly."
Gwen ran her finger down Octavian's chest.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred watched as Octavian took Gwen's hand and kissed it. He bared his teeth slightly.
"Well, obviously, you did..."
Gwen
"Mmmm, indeed I did."
Gwen moved closer to him and kissed Octavian gently, while one hand stroked Mordred's length.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian kissed her back, one hand cupping her breast while the other slid down to rub her stud. Mordred moaned softly and his hips bucked slightly.
Gwen
Gwen moaned and squeezed Mordred's length gently. She spread her legs slightly, and licked over Octavian's lips.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian's tongue met hers while they kissed, fingers moving slowly. Mordred's hips bucked slightly.
"Gwennn..."
Gwen
"Oh Goddd..."
Gwen moaned and kissed down Octavian's neck. her hand sliding over Mordred.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian let his head fall back slightly, moaning as Mordred slid his hand over his length. Mordred leant around Octavian to kiss Gwen gently.
Gwen
Gwen kissed Mordred back, hitching herself up against Octavian slightly.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian removed his fingers and entered her in one smooth thrust. He moaned, then tilted his head back as Mordred tangled his fingers through the blond's hair. Mordred kissed him.
Gwen
Gwen moaned and wrapped her legs around Octavian's waist.
"Godddd... Tavvvvvv..."
Dom looked at the empty seats.
"Should we just order for them?"
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
Mordred slid inside Octavian, making him thrust harder into Gwen. Octavian moaned.
"Ah god!"
Demetria sighed slightly.
"Probably a good idea."
Gwen
"Ah f*ck!"
Gwen moaned and bit down on Octavian's shoulder.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred licked at his own bitemark on Octavian's shoulder, tasting just a drop of blood. His thrusts got harder, and Octavian moaned.
Gwen
Gwen clenched around Octavian, moaning softly, her breathing shallow.
"God!"
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian moaned and his head fell back against Mordred's shoulder. The other teen growled softly and bit down on the soft skin.
Gwen
Gwen clenched again as she came, leaning over and kissing Octavian deeply.
Octavian & Mordred.
Octavian kissed her back, thrusting back onto Mordred. He ran his hands down her back. Mordred bit down harder and felt blood hit his tongue. He lapped it up.
Gwen
Gwen slid down Octavian's body and fixed herself up.
"Hmmm, well thanks guys."
She put her dress on again and flicked her hair out.
"I'll see you in a bit."
Grinning to herself, she left the toilets and rejoined the party at the table.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred started to slide his hand over Octavian's length roughly, still licking at the wound he'd inflicted on his throat. Octavian bucked and came, moaning. Mordred thrust a few more times, then came as well.
He slid out of Octavian, cleaned himself up and left. Octavian paused to regain his breath, then chuckled.
"Well."
Gwen
Dom shook his head.
"We ordered for you. And you should be ashamed of yourself," he mock scolded.
"Oh shoosh." Gwen lazily sipped from her drink.
Mordred, Demetria & Octavian.
Mordred slid into his seat at the table, running a hand through his hair.
Demetria shook her head.
"*Worse* then London."
Octavian cleaned himself up slowly, humming slightly to himself.
Gwen
Gwen smiled innocently and focused her attention on Dom, talking to him like nothing had happened.
Mordred, Demetria & Octavian.
Mordred bit at his thumb slightly, blue eyes blank. Demetria turned to Billy.
"So, when exactly are we putting this play on?"
Octavian sauntered out of the bathroom and came back to the table. He sat down carefully.
"So, did I miss anything?"
Gwen
"In about 6 months," Billy answered. "We still need to cast a few more parts."
"They're very disorganised," Gwen supplied.
"We are not... ok, we are. But we've been busy doing press for Return Of The King," Dom protested.
Demetria, Mordred & Octavian.
"Which was excellent," Demetria said.
"But then, all the Lord of the Rings movies have been."
"She's just a bit of a fan," Mordred said.
"More of the books then the movies," Demetria said mildly.
"So much so she learnt Elvish," Octavian said.
"Oh, hush. Elvish is a beautiful language, mr I learnt more languages so I could flirt with more people."
Gwen
"Besides, we were very important in the third movie," Dom said.
"Very important," Billy put in.
"Maybe Pippin was," Gwen teased.
"Awwww." Dom pouted.
"Oh shut up."
Demetria, Mordred & Octavian.
"I loved the way they did the Gondorian army of the dead," Demetria said.
"Weird shit," Mordred said.
"In the books though, Aragorn went in alone, but of course you have to change things for the movies."
"Ah, speaketh the Tolkien fantic," Octavian said.
"I haven't read the books."
Gwen
"Plus more Orlando screen time doesn't exactly leave the fans screaming in anger," Gwen said, as their food was brought out.
"What did you get me?"
"Chicken, what else?" Dom said, rolling his eyes good naturedly.
"You arse."
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
"You ordered for us, Dem?" Mordred asked.
"Well, yes. Dom and Billy had no idea what to order for you two," Demetria said.
"I at least had an inkling."
"Ta muchly, Dem," Octavian said, kissing her on the cheek.
Gwen
Gwen smiled slightly and took another sip of water.
"So, after this, back to Bill's for coffee?" Dom suggested.
"Yes, just invite people," Billy said, grinning.
Dom shrugged and turned to the next table.
"Do you want to go to Billy's house?"
The couple looked confused.
Demetria, Octavian & Mordred.
Demetria giggled softly.
"Now, this does remind me of something," Mordred said.
"Really, what?" Octavian said, before forking some of his food into his mouth.
"Ah, something that happened in M.E."
Gwen
Gwen grinned and slapped Dom's shoulder playfully.
Dom chuckled.
"What people don't realise is that I'm more like Pippin in real life, than Bill."
"Oh those bloody golf balls," Billy said, shaking his head. "I thought Pete was going to kill you."
Demetria.
"What happened? Do tell," Demetria said.
Gwen
Gwen chuckled.
"When we were filming Fellowship," Dom began. "And we were doing the Prancing Pony scene, where it's all muddy and dark, and the Black Riders come in..."
"Well, they'd put golf balls in the ground to mark out where the horses were meant to go. And Dom saw them," Billy continued.
"And I pointed them out to Bill, and I'm saying "come on, I'm going to take one, Bill. I'm going to get one." and Bill's going "no, no, Dom, I think they need to use them for something." but I took one anyway. And Pete..."
"Pete realised one was missing and he demanded to know where it was... and then worked out Dom had taken one."
"And it was raining and it was muddy, and hard to run in my hobbit feet."
Demetria, Mordred & Octavian.
Demetria laughed.
"Oh dear. But obviously you're still here..."
"So he didn't get that violent," Octavian said.
"The other thing was, didn't your head hurt after Viggo chucked the apples at you?"
Mordred chuckled slightly.
Gwen
"Oh yes," Billy said, nodding. "And he just thought it was funny."
Gwen nodded. "I'd find that funny too."
"Or what about when you made me run around the tables?" Dom said.
"Oh that was good. We were up in this canteen sort of place, waiting to be called for our scene, and there were all these tables, and Dom said "I bet I could touch all of these tables in a minute", so I said "yes, go on." And..."
"The biggest game for Bill, was to watch me run around and touch all of these tables and forever forget to set the time, so I'd do it again... then - "
"Just as he'd started the last time, his foot flew off, right when someone stuck their head in and told us that we were needed on set - "
"So I was left, standing there with this bloody hobbit foot that would take about a half hour to re-apply, and there Billy was, just giggling."
Demetria, Octavian & Mordred.
"Oh dear," Demetria said, laughing.
"The hobbits looked surprisingly realistic," Mordred said.
"In general."
"So did Gollum, creepy little thing," Octavian said, faking an elaborate shudder.
"Precioussssss..."
Gwen
"I got to be Gollum one day, because Andy Serkis wasn't there, so I was just couching up the ring," Dom said, thoughtfully.
"Or a hairball," Billy put in.
"Yes, thanks Bill. I think Gollum looked a lot like Elijah."
"Yes, just Elijah was a bit more handsome."
Dom and Billy giggled to themselves.
"See, they are real life Merry and Pip," Gwen said.
"When Elijah gets over here, we'll have more stories of his stupidity. Remember when he fell down like 3 flights of stairs, and then just got up and walked away again?" Billy asked.
"Oh yeah, and if you left him for 15 minutes, he'd just fall asleep!" Dom exclaimed.
Demetria, Octavian & Mordred.
"Elijah was nice," Demetria said.
"And hot," Octavian put in.
"Do you only think about sex?" Demetria said disdainfully.
Octavian grinned at her.
"Well, it's one of the nicer things to think about."
Mordred sipped from his glass, smiling slightly.
Gwen
"Elijah will probably be coming tomorrow, actually," Billy said thoughtfully.
"And then we can make fun of him some more," Dom replied, grinning happily.
They finished their meals and got up to leave.
Why do I have this sudden urge to race Mordred home?" Gwen asked.
Mordred.
"Well, if someone gives me a set of keys," Mordred said.
"We can see about that."
Gwen
Gwen tossed the keys at Mordred and took Billy's from him. She typed in a quick message to Octavian.
"Come in my car, we're going to pkay a trick on darling Mordred."
Dom looked thoughtful.
"Well, Mordred didn't mind Gwen's driving, so I assume he's worse... I'm going to go with Gwen."
Perfect.
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
Octavian smiled slightly as he read the message.
"I'll go with Gwen. Mordred's insane."
Mordred grinned slightly and tossed the keys in his hand.
"Guess it's me, Dem and Billy then."
They went out to the car and Mordred slid in behind the driver's seat. Demetria buckled her seatbelt firmly.
Gwen
Gwen hopped into the car and waited for Octavian and Dom. Dom slipped into the backseat and put his seatbelt on.
"So... we're going to let Mordred win."
"So you're going to drive slowly?"
"Not at first, no, but we'll take a detour."
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred started the motor as he watched Octavian get into the car.
"Gwen's being evil," Octavian halfsang.
He buckled his seatbelt and closed the door.
"What's the plan?"
Gwen
Gwen revved the motor and took off, not waiting for Mordred.
"We're going to do a detour, turn up at Billy's about twenty minutes later and look like we just had a threesome."
Mordred, Demetria & Octavian.
Mordred chuckled slightly, then the motor of the car roared as he raced after her. Demetria gripped the seat hard as the car squealed around a corner. Billy gulped.
"Why pretend?" Octavian drawled.
"He'll probably kill us anyway."
Gwen
"Well if we really do it, then we'll have nothing to defend ourselves with."
Gwen turned into a side street and cut the engine, watching as Mordred drove past.
Mordred & Octavian.
Mordred picked the route out of Billy's head and drove faster. He shifted down to third to take a corner, then back up into fifth.
"Good point," Octavian said.
Gwen
"Now, when you say 'kill us'... you don't mean, literally, do you?" Dom asked.
"Maybe. Probably not. I think I could stop it," Gwen said.
Octavian.
"And I can run very fast," Octavian said.
"Not that that's much good against a teleporter. But I can try very hard."
Gwen
Gwen checked the clock.
"Ok, we'll start heading to Bill's, just the long way."
Gwen started the sar and shifted into first as she headed out of the street. She shifted into second and cruised along, ducking into streets to make the trip go longer, finally shifting into third, and about twenty minutes later, they were just about at Billy's house.
Gwen stopped the car.
"Ok, now with the messing up."
She turned around and unbuttoned some of Dom's shirt, and untucked half of it. She messed her hair up slightly and untied one of the strings on the back of her dress.
Mordred, Demetria & Octavian.
Mordred, Demetria and Billy had arrived a while ago. His fingers drummed uneasily against the armrest of the chair.
Octavain grinned slightly, ruffling his hair into disordered golden strands. He untucked his shirt and unbuttoned it, then rubbed his fingers hard over his lips, making them look puffy and bruised from kissing.
Gwen
Gwen drove to Billy's, then parked the car. She hopped out and slipped her shoes off, holding them carelessly in one hand. She waited for everyone else to get out, then she locked the car.
Dom walked over to her and she leant on him as though she had been well and truly f*cked and couldn't walk.
Octavian, Mordred & Demetria.
Octavian snickered slightly.
"YOu really are an excellent actress."
Mordred looked up as the car drove in. Demetria continued to chat idly with Billy.
Gwen
"Why thank you."
Gwen let Dom support most of her weight as they walked into the house.
"We didn't win, did we?" Gwen asked loudly.
Mordred & Octavian.
"No, you're very late," Mordred said, turning his head.
He took in the three at the door and his eyes flamed into gold. He snarled, baring lengthening fangs.
Octavian eeped, and hid behind Gwen.
"Oh yes, we're very dead."
Gwen
"No, we're not."
Gwen stepped forward and flicked a spark up in her hand, throwing it from hand to hand.
Dom hid behind Octavian.
Mordred, Octavian & Demetria.
"What the f*ck?" Mordred growled in a distorted voice through the fangs as his jaw shifted slightly.
Billy stared.
"What is going on?"
"This is called, someone pushed Mordred just that bit too far and they're about to find out *why* we call him 'Wolf'," Demetria said smartly.
Octavian winced.
Gwen
"Oh for f*ck's sake, lighten up."
Gwen stared at Mordred and folded her arms.
"You know, this is exactly our problem. And I have officially had enough."
Mordred.
Mordred glanced through her mind and Octavian's, then Dom's. He shook his head, eyes fading into blue.
"What did you think I was going to think? For God's sake, Gwen...you *wanted* me to react like this. So then you could feel all f*cking selfrighteous. Grow the F*CK up."
Gwen
"F*cking hell, I am so sick of you right now."
Gwen rolled her eyes.
"That's it... you know what? I'm really... I've had enough of this completely. I don't want to be anyone's property, it makes me feel like a piece of furniture, so as of now, you can just officially refer to us as broken up. Because that's it. I've had enough."
She turned around and headed for the stairs.
Mordred.
Mordred got up and stalked after her.
"I don't think I own you. But you're not the only one with possession issues...who gave who the collar, hmm?"
Gwen
Gwen shrugged.
"Take it off then. I don't care anymore."
Her lip quivered slightly, but she bit back the tears.
"I don't want this anymore."
Mordred.
"I want you," Mordred said.
"But you keep pushing and pushing...and you've pushed me away. I'll wait for you. I'll always wait for you. But until you've sorted yourself out and thought really hard about some of the things you've done today and made me do...I don't think I want to see you."
His eyes glimmered with tears and he kissed her hard, then stepped back and disappeared.
Gwen
Gwen let the tears come and she sat down on the stairs, holding one hand over her stomach as she stared at the ground.
Dom came out and held his hand out.
"Come on, Bill says you can stay the night here."
"I..." Gwen burst into a fresh round of tears and Dom bent down and put his arms around her, as she cried into his shoulder, sobbing desperately.
Demetria & Octavian.
Demetria was crying unashamedly, tears rolling down her face.
"Here, Dem..."
Octavian pulled her into a hug and she cried all over his shoulder.
Gwen
"Are you going to be ok?" Dom asked, kissing her forehead.
"I don't know..."
Dom helped Gwen to her feet, and led her up the stairs to the spare room.
"I wanted this... I just... I didn't want this to be... I don't know..." Gwen's shoulders shook, and her voice was heavy with emotion as she lay down on the bed.
"It's ok..."
"I don't think it is."
Demetria & Octavian.
Demetria hiccuped with sobs as she clung to her brother. Octavian patted her shoulders awkwardly. Feeling awful. God. What had he done? He shouldn't have listned to Gwen...
He felt like he was going to throw up. He was turning into his father.
Demetria just ;ported them both out of there without saying goodbye.
Gwen
Billy sighed and went upstairs to see Gwen and Dom.
They all spent the night in the spare room, Gwen crying herself to slep and Dom and Billy sleeping on the floor by her sides.
