Keylo and Cataleya : It's Dead

"I've been giving a lot more thought, to the whole, humans cohabitating, thing." Cataleya took a soft puff at her nearly needle thin cigar. On the exhale, smoke danced out of full lips onto tan skin, before disappearing at her perfectly upright, pointed nose.

The sun was setting her up to glow beside her brother in all of her 6'6 glory. Bare feet attached to mile long legs in painted on black denim. More than half of her midsection was bare, with a long piece of black fabric tied around her chest, and the long end of one of the strands of the knot hanging down the right side of her body; it might have been a scarf.

"What's been on your mind, sister?" Stout, 6'2 Keylo hopped up from the curb in one fluent motion that required absolutely no effort. His bare, dark skin glistened in sweat as the direct sunlight kissed his skin. Beside his sister, he pulled his full, black, curly hairy into a bunch in his hand, before sliding the band off his wrist and doing a weak job at containing the locks.

"I understood that during the extinction, humans existed together, the strong ones, anyway. Like it would make sense to have your strongest soldiers to-"

"You don't have any cigarettes on you, do you?" Keylo interrupted while dropping four hits of enthia in his right eye.

"Give me a moment," Cataleya was gone from the left side of her brother instantly.

With Keylo on his fifth round of enthia in an hour, he let the instant effect help him to enjoy the other wise boring view of nature reclaiming an abandoned gas station out of a viable quadrant. Vines wrapped around what was left of three pillars holding up the roof by the pumps. A tree, broken entirely through the concrete in the corner of the lot by the half dirt, half cement road. Branches long, and full swaying in the stirring breeze of the afternoon.

It almost had an opportunity to be captivating, if the soft sound of an uneven flutter hadn't made Keylo jump thirty feet north, one hand to the ground, legs bent to leap at a moment's notice.

From sixty yards away, he had spotted what had to be an uncharacteristically small demigon dart into the tree, as to conceal itself. Like maybe the unusual flutter was that of an unusual enemy, maybe one of those damn things near death; hard to say when there had never been one so tiny to emerge from a portal. At least not in his 124 years.

And to see something out of the ordinary, after knowing his ordinary for over a century, especially after his brush with death, he was more than reluctant to investigate what could be a brand new threat; and he wasn't going to climb back into that damn bed again.

No leap to get there, no sprint. His steps were light, and deliberate, bare feet sure not to snap a twig, or brush a pebble. He even stopped breathing, so he knew, from what he could distinguish between the wind rustling the leaves, and the steady drip from what was left of the room of the ruin like gas station, that whatever had darted into that tree, was no longer fluttering. Which could have meant a couple things.

Like maybe, it had been some dying demigon, that existed outside of the six to eight foot height he had been accustomed throughout his life, and throughout history. Or maybe, whatever it was, had spotted him from a mile away. Maybe, whatever the small black, fluttering thing was that had fallen silent, was waiting for the right time, to dart across the space between them, and drive itself through his chest. He stepped lighter, like he might get the jump on it, and picked up a heavy rock for a projectile, if that flying thing was the latter.

He's maybe five yards from the base of the tree, wind tussling lose strands of black hair, when the small black winged thing flies from the bottom of the thicket. Without hesitation, Keylo fires the rock from his hand, clipping one of the wings, and with feeling like he has the jump on it, darts to where it had plummeted back to earth.

Five feet away from him, in some tall grass, was the small black winged beast. It had to be maybe the size of his massive hand. Symmetrical as all hell. Two appendages coming out of the base of the body that were, twig like, with three claws at the ends of them. The bulk of it, compact, tiny, covered in, maybe, hair, but not like any hair he had seen. It was black, sheen, and very uniform, tight, all over it's body, as if each of the black hairs grew out of the base of another firmer hair. The same hair adorned the right wing, and what would have adorned the left, if the stone hadn't torn it off.

A couple steps closer, before leaping back fifteen feet when it started to writhe before him.

"What's that?"

"Fuck," on instinct, Keylo shot around with an open right palm to attack the new entity behind him. Which ended up being a mistake, when his sister's quicker reflexes only had him crashing his hand into an invisible wall, which prompted another, "FUCK!"

"Christ, Keylo, what's wrong with you," Cataleya said with a cigarette between her teeth as a lighter floated up to the end, and ignited it.

"You gave me a fright." Keylo was forcing his palm back into alignment to ensure proper healing.

"I see that. You really went full force there," a long drag before floating the cigarette to Keylo's full lips.

"Yeah, I just, there's this I guess-demigon." He turned his attention back to the shaking black, hairy, beast, the size of his hand, with some kind of, appendage, jutting out of what had to be eyes.

"That ain't a demigon like I've ever seen." Cataleya floated forward passed her brother.

"Wait, Cat. You don't know what it's going to do." Keylo took a stride to stay beside her.

"Calm down, brother, I've got it."  The bird began to levitate off the ground and head towards the two of them until it was right at eye level with the siblings.

"Did it attack you?" Cataleya had it flipped over in the air to examine it all over; always the curious one.

"I think it was readying one. It took flight on what I thought was a stealthy approach." Keylo was positioned slightly to the side of the beast, facing his sister, like he was still waiting for it to overpower his sister after finishing regenerating.

"How long has it been like this," she motioned towards the missing part of the wing, before pulling the cigarette from Keylo's lips and taking a good drag.

The wind kicked up and the ends of their excuse for ponytails thrashed behind their heads.

Keylo took back the cigarette from his sister, "Just a short moment, I barely made contact with it," a long drag, then a relaxed exhale.

"It's not regenerating." Catalaya twirled it in the air again, "feel for yourself. It's pulse is erratic."

She rested the immobilized beast into her brother's hand. And when her mind decided to let go, Keylo could feel the all over the place flutter of the tiny winged beasts heart.

"Either way, I suppose I kill it before it gets the chance; we should probably think about reporting it as well. I can't imagine the council wouldn't want to know about a new threat." Keylo began to tighten his grasp on the small winged beast.

"Give me a break, Keylo," Cataleya snatched the cigarette from her brother's lips to take a drag, "two visits to the council and all of a sudden you report to them."

Keylo didn't respond, focused more on to the incremental increases in pressure from his grip. The fluttering heart beat faltered, then slowed, then picked up immensely, before stopping entirely. When the winged beast heart stopped beating, he opened his palm, to see the mangled corpse, and to let the wind take away the ash of the soon to be disintegrating body.

"It's dead." Cataleya was nearly hovering directly over her brother.

"Yes, it is. I-I don't know why it hasn't started turning to cinders yet. Maybe it really is defective."

Two minutes had passed without the winged beast burning away to nothingness. It didn't even take two minutes for the serpents the size of skyscrapers to disintegrate after death.

"I think something's wrong..." Keylo said it low, eyes only on the nearly indistinguishable blood covered eyes of the small winged beast. And it might have been the enthia, but tears were pooling in his eyes.

"I feel it too." The wind rustled, kicking up the siblings hair once more, before Cataleya used her telekinesis to take it from her brothers hand, and tear it to nothing herself.

Then Keylo was sure, it wasn't the enthia.

Chapter Five

Hoseok: There will be a car waiting for you outside at around five pm, don't be late.

Hoseok: I'll be waiting.

You read your messages again with a content smile on your face, thinking you had done something right last night if he was the one to initiate contact and so you lay back on the in your lounge chair, soaking up the rays of sunshine like you had been deprived for too long. You had gotten them not long ago, deciding to go down to the pool and relax for the time being.

You had already reported it back to Jungkook, the moment you got the texts so did he. Every call and call was recorded as evidence into the database. You didn't even have to lift another finger.

You take off your sunglasses as the waiter brings you your ice tea, thanking him with a smile as you lean back. This was definitely your favorite part of your job.

The 'bodyguards' that had been assigned to you were now sitting a couple of lounge chairs away, dressed in suits as they kept an eye on you. You hadn't heard them complaining once as noon came around and the sun was high in the sky. You did, however, see them silently move towards the shade.

"Are you really relaxing during a mission?" You hear a familiar voice say as they seat down next to you. You weren't startled by the sudden question, instead you remained completely still.

"Hey Taehyung" You say nonchalantly, peeking at him from the side of your glasses. "You on babysitting duty?" You ask him with a chuckle.

"Yep, apparently you need to be watched and it just so happens the new guy has to do it" He grumbles, you knew he was kind of annoyed at the idea since he had trained for far more important things. Let's just say if you wanted to know how to kill someone with a spoon Taehyung was your guy.

"I thought you would be at the estate by now" He commented, leaning back on the lounge chair. He looked completely out of place in his leather jacket and black skinny jeans, surrounded by people in swimming trunks and bikinis.

"Maybe he likes taking it slow?" You suggest, taking another sip of your drink. Taehyung scoffs in amusement, chuckling as he imagines one of the top kingpins in the country being patient.

"I don't think that's it" he replies, "besides, he already has a room for you." You raise an eyebrow at that.

"What do you mean?" Resting your hands on your elbows, you look over at him. "I mean, that once you're in his clutch, he's not going to let you go" Taehyung smirks in your direction, peaking over his sunglasses.

You already knew what he meant. You've always been a prized possession to these people, something they could put on a huge pedestal and show off. Maybe that was the reason you decided to joking the good guys, even if your father didn't know about it.

"(Y/N), have you forgotten who your father is?" His smirk never falters as you roll your eyes. Your father. The whole reason you were doing this, the only reason you were even picked for this job.

"Don't remind me. You of all people should know how much I hate it when he's mentioned" You claim, laying back down in the chair, "there's never a good enough reason to mention that bastard."

"Sorry" Taehyung whispers an apology when he sees that your once relaxed mood was no longer present, instead it had turned sour and he knew that at that moment all you wanted to do was just punch something. Hopefully not any of his vital organs.

He should've known that no matter how long ago it was, the subject on your father would always be a touchy one.

"I didn't mean anything by it" He continues, looking away from you with a stone like expression on his face. "You're not like him, we both know that. Hell, you know that" " Taehyung finishes as he stands up, not sparing you another glance as he walks away.

You take in a deep breath, feeling your tense muscles relax as the sound of people enjoying themselves by the pool distracted you. Sighing, you decided that your relaxing mood was ruin.

You hastily pick up your things as you stand up, feeling your mood turning completely sour after that conversation. This was not a vacation and the faster this was over, the less he was mentioned and the more happy you appeared to be.

Yoongi watches you through the camera, knowing this was the only way he might get to see you for a while. "Remember to wear the necklace" His voice cutting through the silent room, making you look in his direction.

"Don't you have other people to order around?" You joke as you grab onto the necklace that was resting next to the computer. "You know, besides me that is."

Yoongi smiles at the sudden question, he had to admit that he might've been paying special attention to your case. Even if he wouldn't admit it aloud.

"No, just you at the moment." He hums as he takes a look at your full figure. The dress you were wearing was beautiful, but in his eyes it did not do you justice. The necklace you were wearing would be the only form of them to know where you were.

The only thing they had to keep track of you. And him.

"So. Is this good enough?" You ask him, turning around in a full circle. He smiles with a look of adoration in his eyes, "He'd be a fool not to fall for you" Yoongi whispers to himself, watching you walk away from his view.

You lean forward, your eyes catching his and with a smile you look down at the time. "It's almost five, I should really get going now" You remind Yoongi.

If he was going to tell you, it was now or never. Yoongi gulps as he takes in a deep breath, feeling nervous all of a sudden.

"Actually, (Y/N)... Th-there's something I wanted to talk to you about..." Yoongi rambles on, his hands moving in different directions in front of him as he tried to make the words in his brain come out correctly, but he was making himself look like an idiot and he knew it.

You hear the ping on your phone, distracting you momentarily from the man in front of you. Your ride was here and by what you read you knew Hoseok didn't like tardiness. "I should get going!" You interrupt him, there's no reason he couldn't tell you later anyway.

"Wish me luck?" You sigh, hearing him mumble a good luck as you shut the laptop.

You felt better now, after a long cold shower you could feel going back to the normal, half cheery you.

Any thoughts on the conversation you had this morning with Taehyung had now been pushed to the back of your mind — out of sight, out of mind. And you hope that there won't be another one like that.

"Miss (Y/N)?" The man in the suit said, bowing his head slightly. "That would be me" you respond, hugging the thin coat around your body.

"The young Master Jung asked me to take you to your destination" He quickly responded, his gaze never meeting your eyes and you could tell by the way he mentioned Hoseok's name, he wasn't lying.

"Alright" You quickly agree, not questioning him any further. It's not like you couldn't defend yourself if the situation did arise. You wrap your coat tighter around your body as you step into the car.

The tinted windows made the space in the car darker than it should be and it gave you time to think, time to escape into your mind. A dangerous thing to do. Your hand grabbed onto the necklace that was hanging around your neck, it was a golden cataleya flower with white edges — the one thing they had bugged and the one thing you would never take off.

"Miss, we're here" You snap out of your thoughts as you hear the driver speak up. You had noticed the car had stopped in front of a club, which surprised you. You were certainly expecting something else.

"Uh, are you sure it's here?" You ask the driver, hoping he wasn't just playing a trick on you. "Mr. Jung asked that you were to be brought here" He replies, not even glancing in your direction. You jump as the door beside you suddenly opens, a smirking Hoseok leaning down to face you. "You coming?" He holds out his hand, waiting for you to take it and you do.

"No bodyguards today?" Hoseok asks, a small smirk present on his lips. You shake your head as you approach him, "I gave them the day off" you say sarcastically, knowing full well you had to force them to stay.

"You must have a lot of trust in me" He claims out loud, his right hand reaching out and landing in your lower back.

"Could be" You grin, "Is there a reason I shouldn't trust you so much?"You smirk in his direction, watching him think it over. Hoseok remains quiet, humming as he thinks over all of the possible answer only to have you push his shoulder lightly. "Are you seriously thinking it over right now?" You laugh at him.

Hoseok smile was bright when your laugh hits his ears. "Let's go" He grabs onto your waist, pushing you through the door where the muffled music was coming from. The club was big, going up two more floors and even with the large space it still felt stuffy and hot with the amount of people that were inside.

You feel his hands wrapping around your waist as he leads you through a long hallway made of glass and purple lighting illuminating the way.

You can't stop looking around, this being the first time you had gone to a club willingly. You always thought that being sweaty and in a cramped space, whilst rubbing against strangers was something that you definitely didn't like doing. You preferred to stay at home and watch a movie, read a book or practice your knife skills, like a normal person.

You come back from your thoughts as Hoseok takes your hand, walking up to what you believed was the VIP section. You guess the guards standing at the bottom of said stairs gave that away.

You watch as they both nod towards Hoseok, not saying anything else as the both of you passed through them and up the glass stairs.

This section of the club was no different than what you had imagined. Drunk people with money flaunting it around and girls dress similarly to you, some with even less clothing, clinging on to the men for dear life.

You stumble a little when Hoseok suddenly stops in front of you, grabbing onto your wrist he pulls you to the side. You were confused for a moment, wondering why he had stoped you all of a sudden. "Something came up this afternoon, I just need a couple of minutes to deal with it and then we'll be on our way" Hoseok confesses as he glances behind his shoulder.

The questioning look on your face was answer when you took a look behind him — a group of men were standing right behind him, waiting in front of what you assume was Hoseok's office.

"Wait for me out here, will you? I just have some business That needs to be taken care of" Hoseok orders watching you give a final nod as he walks inside with the other men. You weren't that close to go in with him during his meetings — no, you had to work for that kind of trust.

You take this time to really take a look around the lively place. You knew it was one of the many places that Hoseok owned — and just like now, it was where most of his deals would go down.

You could tell from a glance that the club was filled with college students, seeing as it was a Friday night and the club was smack down in the middle of every campus.

"Well you're pretty." You hear someone say from behind you. The last thing on your mind was thinking that said comment was being directed at you.

"You giving me the silent treatment now?" He chuckles, "that's a little cold for meeting for the first time"

"I'm not interested" You respond in a monotone voice, not bothering to turn around again as he leans on the railing next to you. With the way he was swaying from side to side, you were surprised he even made it up the stairs.

"Come on baby!" The drunk man sways in your direction. You raise your eyebrows slightly, ready knock him out if he so much as lays a finger on you. "Give me something to work with, I'm dying over here" He yells again, catching the looks of the other people standing in line at the club.

You decide to let it go for now, he wasn't doing any harm. He was just being an embarrassment to his more sober friends. It was when you felt a sharp and stinging pain on your ass that you finally decide to do something about it. "Listen here yo-"

But as you turn around, the drunken guy was no longer behind you. He was yanked away from you, a strong grip on his collar making him choke on his words.

You watched as Hoseok slammed the guy's head - repeatedly — on to the railing behind you and in that moment, you couldn't help but think to yourself, This is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.

You watch as Hoseok lifted the man by his collar — the blood gushing out of his nose quite visible as he pulls him close so that he made eye contact and said in a deadly whisper; "Don't you ever touch my girl again" and with that being said, he threw the guy into the ground — walking closer he lands a kick on his stomach. He gestures towards the guards at the door, "Get him out of here, make it painful" He whispers to him, making sure that you didn't hear him before giving them a pointed stare at the guards that were watching his office door.

You watch as he walks towards you, the angry glare disappearing in an instant and he was now looking at you with a loving smile. "Let's go" Hoseok sharply says as he places his arm around your waist, leading you towards the small room he had once disappeared to. The once loud music now muffled as you look around you.

You felt his hands on your shoulder, grabbing onto your coat before pulling it off of your body. You nod in thanks as you take a look around, ignoring the stares you were getting from the large group of men in the room.

The mirror that you had seen outside was now see through, you could see the walkway you were once standing in and the crowd of people still dancing the night away.  Hoseok must've been watching you the whole time.

"Gentleman" Hoseok coughs, gathering everyone's attention in that split second. "Meet Miss (Y/N)" And the moment he says your name you knew something clicked in their minds. Your name was unique and to have this much attention from someone like Jung Hoseok, it could only mean one thing.

You watch as they bow in your direction, a sign of respect, bowing back as you walk towards the glass. You hate to admit that you did like the attention you were getting just because of your past, but the fact that it was because of him was what made you hate it more.

"I believe this meeting is over then" Hoseok insists as Jimin finishes counting the money. Nodding towards Hoseok as he carefully places it into a suitcase and walks out with it.

You don't bother to look behind you as you hear the sound of people shuffling out of the room. Some even bold enough to spare another glance at you, knowing they might never get this close to royalty ever again.

And then, just like that, the two of you were left completely alone.

You didn't even hear him as he walked up behind you — you didn't even know he was there until you felt his hands tight on your hips. His hand slowly caressing your stomach as he pressed his front into your back when you didn't pull away.

"What happen to being the perfect gentleman?" You smirk when you feel his lips softly graze the side of your neck.

"You it difficult for me to keep my promise" Hoseok mumbles, pressing his lips against your neck as his hand goes slowly moves from your hips, up your stomach, through the exposed skin that was showing between the valley of your dress until it was around your throat. His fingers were delicate as the grasped onto your jaw, almost as if he was touching art. He was careful as he moved your head in the opposite direction.

Your breathing became heavy when you felt his lips coming into contact with your neck. One kiss. You felt yourself getting wet at the soft touch. Another kiss. You felt shivers running down your spine.

"You have a habit of getting into trouble don't you?" Hoseok whispers turning you away from the glass, he was so close that his lips so close to touching yours. One of his hand disappears from where it rested against the glass beside your head and it wasn't long until you started to feel his hands traveling lower, to the tops of your thighs.

His hands slide up so slowly until they reach the hem of your already short dress. "Can I?" He mumbles into your ear, making you turn around surprised at the sudden question. You would've expected that with the reputation that he had, he would've been the kind of man who would do, not ask.

You don't waste time in wrapping your small hand around his wrist, pulling it up towards the lace, until he had his hand flat against you. You feel yourself getting wetter as he growls in your ear and with every growl his hand would tighten around you.

"I can already feel you getting wet and I'm not even touching you directly" Hoseok sighs hotly on your neck, his other hand sliding up your body covered dress until it reaches your covered breasts. His hands grope at the swollen mound, feeling your nipple hardening in his hands at the contact — smiling at the thin fabric that told him that you weren't wearing anything underneath.

"Did you choose this dress on purpose?" He asks, his hand slipping past your underwear and you can't help but moan at the feeling of his expert hands rubbing against your clit and you could tell he knew exactly what he was doing.

Hoseok watches as you lean your back against his chest, the smirk on his face seemed permanent as his hands unties the top of your dress. He loves the way it fell around your waist and how it pooled around your feet. His hips grinding against your now exposed ass, the underwear you were wearing not leaving anything to the imagination.

Hoseok pushes you to walk forward, "How are you this wet already?' He growls pushing you against the glass. You knew they couldn't see you or him, but being pressed up against the cold surface made you even more excited.

His hand slips out of your underwear, smacking the back side of your upper thigh, leaving behind a red tinge and a stinging sensation. You surprise yourself as you moan out loud — you had better self control than this.

And yet, the feeling of his hands touching your skin was making it very hard for you to pretend as if you weren't enjoying it.

"Do you want me to fuck you against the glass?" His deep voice growls into your ear, his hands on your waist tighten as he grinds himself against your ass. The material from his dark jeans giving you friction where you most needed it.

"Just do something already!" You whine, your voice filled with desperation as you reach a hand behind you. Your hand moves to his thighs, clenching your fingers around the rough fabric. You were starting to get impatient with the way Hoseok seemed to just be playing with you, teasing you.

Hoseok's fingers slip past the only thin fabric that was covering you, his fingers slipping past your folds until he had two nestled inside of you. You bite your lip to keep the moans from escaping your lips when you feel him move and open his fingers as he began to stretch you. "How are you so tight?" He moans into your ear, he looked down only to see you dripping onto his hand and onto the floor. "You're so wet and I've barely done anything" He chuckles when he sees your reflection in the glass.

Your cheeks were red, flushed against the glass was the most erotic thing he had ever seen. Every breath and sigh that you let out was visible on the glass and he was sure that with the way he had you pressed up against it, your body would leave its mark on it as well. He can feel you shivering as he adds another finger, noticing the way your eyes were shut tightly and how hard you were biting your lip. You were holding back on him.

Hoseok didn't like that.

You jump at the unexpected stinging pain in your backside. "I don't like it when you're quiet baby" Hoseok grabs a hold of both of your hands, holding them both in his as he starts to take off his jeans. The sound of a belt hitting the floor, followed by the sound of a zipper made you reach back. Your hands were still trapped in his large ones, but in that position it was easy enough to run your small fingers down his covered length.

The wicked smile on your face spreads when you hear him moan the moment your hand slips into his underwear and grabs onto the base of his cock. You quickly turn around when the grip around your arms loosens up, grabbing a hold of his chin as you began to move your hand up and down. You could feel the pre-cum on the tip as you plant kisses across his jaw.

It was as if the both of you were fighting for dominance, you liked it when a man was trembling beneath you. Knowing that you were the one to make him shiver and a moaning mess, and yet, you always played the submissive. But tonight, you might try something new.

You lean in closer to his lips, almost brushing against the soft skin. "Who said you were the one in charge here?" You whisper against his lips, your small hands coming up to push him back. You watch with hooded eyes as he falls back on one of the chairs near the two of you, quickly straddling him. Your fingers coming up to his exposed collarbone, tracing the skin as your finger went further down.

During all of this, Hoseok watches quietly. His fingers gripping onto the arm rest, afraid he would get scolded if he touched you without permission. He didn't know what had gotten into him at that moment, but he was willing to play along with you. Especially if it meant you were going to touch him again.

You don't say anything as you start unbuttoning his white shirt, exposing his tan skin and well defined muscles until the very last button was opened. You rake your nails from his neck to the top of his underwear, loving the feeling of his chest moving up and down quite fast. You don't stop at his underwear, moving your nails down his clothed manhood — feeling him harden against your touch.

You begin to rub him up and down with your nails, watching him twitch beneath the thin fabric was turning you on. "Someone's getting excited" You smirk when you hear Hoseok groan as you grip onto his shaft.

You pull him out of his boxers, his jeans sliding down mid thigh as you glance at the swollen head of his member and you could tell he had been holding back when you saw that his nails were digging into the leather arm rest.

You don't waste anymore time as you push your underwear to the side, gripping onto his member and plunging yourself on him. The both of you moan out load at the sudden action — Hoseok felt warm as your walls began to clench around him. You felt full at the sensation, not moving as the wave of pleasure hits you like a truck in the middle of a freeway.

"Fuck!"You groan out. From what you had seen he wasn't that big in length, but what he was missing there he made up in girth and you could feel him stretching you as you continue to clench around him.

He kept his composure as you began to move up and down slowly on his cock, he was red to touch you so badly and yet, he wanted you to tell him that he could. Hoseok wanted to please you in every possible way.

You push the white shirt down his arms, your hands gripping onto his shoulders with so much force you thought your nails had broken skin in the process. "Put your hands on me" You mumble against his neck, instantly feeling his hands grabbing at your hips, moving them up and down even quicker.

Hoseok leans his head against your naked chest, grunting at how the tip of his member felt surrounded by your warmth. The feeling was making his heart race, his pulse quickening as he found himself getting near his orgasm.

With a growl, the man beneath you picks you up and throws you down on his desk. You like being in the position, as his thrusts were harder and sharper. The faster he went the less control you had and soon you were a moaning mess beneath him. The movement of him snapping his hips against your made the desk shake and a thumping sound was heard.

Anything that was in close proximity in the desk was now laying on the floor. "How do you feel so good?" Hoseok moans out into the room, making you chuckle as you feel that tingling feeling going up and down your spine.

"Moan for me" Hoseok asks, his thumb coming down to rub circles on your clit. Making you tremble under his touch — it was too much for you to take all at once and your hands instinctively went to his stomach, pushing him as you try make him go slower but to no avail.

You moan out loud as you feel his pace quicken, rasping breaths and grunts of pleasure fill the room and the both of you feel you cheeks flushed. You were sure your cheeks were red as you felt a warm feeling drown your body — making you tremble in pleasure, his own orgasm following not to far behind making you tremble at the strong sensation.

Nothing amused and scared the shit out of Jungkook more than the look on Yoongi's face at that very moment. The older man was glaring at the computer as loud moans and grunts filled the room, as if that would make the whole thing stop.

Yoongi's cheeks were a deep red, his jaw clenched tightly he couldn't deny that he was pissed at what you were doing but also very turned on to see this side of you.

"I don't think we need to record this part" Jungkook mumbles, his hand reaching towards the mute button on the keyboard only to have a hand slap his away. He groans as he rubs away at the stinging sensation on his hand.

"All information we gather is vital to this investigation" Yoongi grumbles in a clipped tone as clenches his fists, rubbing them slightly on his cloth thighs.

Jungkook didn't say anything more, afraid that his boss might hit him again, so he just sat there. He didn't want to listen to you moaning, but he didn't want to leave Yoongi alone to be swallow into his own dark thoughts. So, he just sat there. And waited.

His cheeks turning a strong red as his not-so-innocent mind thinking of things he shouldn't be thinking when it came to you. His eyes wide when he hears you curse out loud. He feels as though he shouldn't even be in the same room as you.

You chuckle as your chest heaved up and down. Your skin feeling sticky and sweaty against the wooden desk beneath you. The air surrounding you smell of heavy sex, something that you hadn't experienced in a long while.

"I thought you were going to be a gentleman" Your tired voice resonates in the empty office, the muffled sound of the loud club music still very present and it's as if you suddenly remember where you were.

"I let you cum first, didn't I?" You felt Hoseok's lips brush against your neck. His fingers slowly tracing your curves, taking in every dip and rise of your skin before he stood up.

"This wasn't what I had planned at all for us tonight" Hoseok chirps in a happy tone, the smirk on his face seemingly permanent when you gave him another glance. "Really?"

"Yeah, I was planning on taking you to dinner first" Hoseok admits as he let's go of you, sliding the underwear and jeans that were still mid thigh.

"Well thanks to you, I've worked up an appetite" You say to him, walking over to the dress that was still by the glass window. "How about we keep this night going?" You suggest with a smug look on your face as you walk towards him, your lips hungrily moving against his as his hands grab at your ass again.

Something was telling you the both of you would never leave this office for the rest of the night.

let's check in on the rest of the family

ajay moved in with nicholas and the goths. if he doesn't let you put your programmer-socks-catgirl-twitch-streamer gaming setup in the attic bedroom you share in his mother's gothic mansion, leave him.

ritvik and alana are settling into old age - they had another kid, cataleya, who now lives in ajay's old room (chris's old room is a guest bedroom now ig)

lorna aged up and moved out to evergreen harbour and lyla and bramble had twins: maeve (short hair) and melanie (long hair). i think lyla got pregnant and had them and bramble is now also pregnant. i do not know how they managed that given neither of them is capable of getting people pregnant but good for them.

[anarchosimdicalist]

another family winterfest! chris, ash and molly made a very nice lunch together and the twins got along good with their cousins and auntie cat

i also gave joni (and to a lesser extent emeril) a little makeover because i overindulged on cc and needed to try it out somewhere

Keylo and Cataleya : Travelers pt. 3

The moon graced us with its bright presence that night. It made things incredibly visible.

"No, you're not grasping it." I sat down at the edge of the cliff in between Keylo and Cataleya. I had found a kind of flattened hook to attach the light rod to my waistband, so that took some adjusting upon throwing my legs over the cliff. The pouch of tiny explosives wasn't a problem. It was actually a cute accessory; I might use it when it was empty. When my cigarette was lit, I cuffed my black skinny jeans to reveal my ankles, then rolled up the sleeves of my black t-shirt. This trip was turning into something.

"No, I get it," Keylo pulled the cigarette from between my lips and took a good drag, he hit the ash off and it fluttered onto his white cropped tank top and small black shorts that his massive things seemed to hang out of, "They were like, the first soldiers, the humans couldn't really conquer them, so they naturally were viewed as superior, as they were." He stole another drag then passed my cigarette back to me.

"No, no, it wasn't like that, Keylo," I took a drag and tried to gather my thoughts, "They didn't have any ability. They didn't have any physical or mental manifestation that made them superior to the beings around them. The strength they referenced, the right to be superior, it was something they claimed was given to them by a higher being. It was just, I don't know."

"What were they? Rulty?" Cataleya was fiddling around her bright red backpack for cigarettes, when she found them, she placed one in her mouth, lit it, then tossed the bag about a foot away from her, to be a bit away from the mountainside.

"No, Leya, royalty. They were kings and queens. They ruled the land. Think of them as sector commanders, but, but with even more ability." I took a drag then passed it back to Keylo who quickly accepted.

"Honestly, I don't know how you retain all of this. Beside birthing, I couldn't be interested in anything else about the humans. They didn't do much besides kill each other." She took a steady drag and let the smoke dance out of her mouth before inhaling it through her nose.

"That's the thing Cataleya, they were so much more than that. They were definitely odd creatures, living in ways that were counter to their survival, but they also created so much, and their experiences were so intense. Not in the serpents falling out of the sky, but, I don't know. I don't fully understand what some of it means, but they were just, they were a lot more than birthing." I was all worked up from the fascination of humans.

"Well, we'll just have to take your word for it, babe." Keylo planted a kiss on me, and I turned to give him on back. I tasted the smoke in his mouth and on his tongue, and it soothed me.

We smoked in silence for a moment while Keylo rummaged through his small shoulder bag to reveal a larger than life bottle of enthia. He started off quicker than usual, hitting three droplets in each eye before passing me the bottle. I decided to take it slow with one drop in each eye. When it was Cataleya's turn, she did three in each eye, like her brother. They were too much sometimes.

"Christ," Keylo spoke up after lighting two cigarettes in his mouth and passing me one, "The trees at the bottom of this mountain are huge. They'd probably tower over us."

Keylo was under the influence of enthia when he took everything as an ethereal sight of beauty. That, and his eyes red, like fire.

No one responded, instead we all just took another drag.

Then, like all attacks, things happened at once:

The cliff side we were on exploded outward and I can say for myself, I was flung a good chunk away from where what used to be where we were sitting on the mountain side. The feeling in my stomach was new. Eventually I'd recognize it as falling, a feeling I'd grow to hate. My body collided with trees, and I couldn't differentiate between leaves and branches. Then I collided with the ground, and I took a long blink.

When I opened my eyes, everything was still black, like I was caught in that blink. My eyes began to adjust when they saw an orange glow through a thicket of trees that wasn't too far off. I was half way there when the sparks stopped shimmering. That's when I noticed the screaming.

Instinct pushed me towards it. I had never heard Cataleya scream like that. Come to think of it, I had never heard Cataleya scream.

She was hunched over Keylo, well, at least I assumed that how little moonlight was making it through the tops of the trees

When she stopped screaming, there was a ringing in my ear, that muffled most things that night.

Cataleya. She can't hear you. You have to say it out loud. Leya. Say it. Say her name out loud. you can't communicate if you don't say anything. Cataleya. What's wrong with you? Why aren't you moving your mouth? Cataleya! Cataleya! What's going on!? Use your fucking words. Move your fucking mouth. Cataleya! Cataleya! Fuck, why were you screaming? What happened to him. Fuck! Cataleya! What happened!

"Cataleya!" She turned around in a flash and this is what the moonlight gave me.

There were shining lines across her face and where Keylos left shoulder was, along with the arm, there was nothing but empty space, and pooling blood. Keylo's left arm was missing and he wasn't moving. I had never seen him so still.

He wasn't moving.

"Jay! My bag. you have to find my bag, now!" After too long, something clicked.

I could see her bright red backpack, sitting beside a tree as clear as if I were staring right at it. I darted back through the way I came and sprinted for what I assumed was the difference between light and dark. I sprinted, for what I thought meant saving Keylo's life.

When I could sense I was near the bag, I saw what happened next. In about thirty seconds, when I would be reaching the bag, a portal was going to crack open in the sky, and it was going to illuminate the forest better than sunlight. Cataleya and I would take a breath, and I'd grab the bag and sprint back. When I'd reach the final layer of trees I'd have to cross to get to Cataleya and what had to be a still living Keylo, demigons would begin pouring out of their portal, then the visions split into two paths:

The first one, we got out of there, the second one wasn't an option.

I held on to the idea of the first one as I grabbed the back, as the portal ripped open, as I made it to Cataleya while the eight foot tall spiders with wings flew out of their portal.

I tossed her the bag and she ripped it apart with her telekinesis. The cure-alls she had in there flew into her neck and her brothers. Then there was a glass container of some shiny liquid. Like someone had melted down metal and it had managed to stay in liquid form.

She tore the bottle that held it apart with her mind, demigons were closing in.

She splattered it across her brothers massive wound and he immediately inhaled and began writhing in pain. His suffering relieved me; it meant he was alive.

The hoard of demigons had to be about thirty feet away. I tried to trust my visions. I tried to trust Cataleya.

She'd have her energy back in two hundred and twenty-seven seconds.

Two hundred and twenty-seven seconds. That's all we had to last before she could get us back. That's all we needed to survive.

Four minutes, just about. Give her four minutes.

I grabbed a couple of the small metal bombs that Keylo had given me, and I unhooked the energy bar from my waist and let my finger rest on the button. When I held it, with enough room in the forest, it grew to three feet. I clicked the buttons on the explosives and threw them as far west as I could and began a full sprint towards the direction. When the bombs exploded in the sky, they helped the demigon swarm change direction and head in the direction that I was running.

The trees were going to be a huge advantage. The demigons were too clumsy and no where near as agile as they needed to be to maneuver in this area so tight.

When I tried to peak forward, I couldn't see much. There was a lot of grey, it had to be due to the indecisiveness of my mind. Our fates weren't set in stone.

A demigon struck me on the side and sent me flying, losing my grip on the energy rod. I really wasn't a fighter.

Standing up as quick as I could, the creature was on the ground, charging at me as wild as it could.

I tossed an explosive, and relied on my returned visions.

Jump right, the energy sword is behind the rock, get up, slice off its- No, its too fast, you'll lose your life. Grab the energy sword, dive behind a tree. Another explosive. Its stunned, sever the head. Two more are there now, you were just ripped from your torso, you're dead.

Jump right, the energy sword is behind the rock, dive behind the adjacent tree. Pull out three explosives, one for the demigon you're dealing with, two for the ones that are going to ambush you, throw them three seconds apart.

The first one's dead. One of the other two is on fire. Kill the third one. Straight through the torso, then pull up. The energy sword is sharper than Keylo's crimson blade.

Catch a breath. What's next. Cataleya, head back- No, there's too much open space. There's too much open space. They'll pluck you from the ground as you run, you're not quick enough.

In here, you don't have to be quick enough.

Toss another explosive, get the hoards attention, then another.

Funnel them in through the entrance that the first three came in.

Bombard them with those damn things.

No, set off one in the bag, toss the whole lot at them. Where does that leave you?

Three of them were dead and I had attracted the hoard through the opening in the trees. It was all grey again, I couldn't focus.

My original plan was all I had. There was no second call, there was no back up.

I unhooked the waist band from around me, clicked a spherical explosive and dropped it in the bag before throwing the entire thing at the fuzzy arachnids with wings.

The explosion felt like when a portal exploded open next to you. Heat, light, pressure.

I landed on my ass. When I sprung back up, through burning corpses, I could make out demigons convulsing and writhing about.

Through the smoke of the corpses and dying bodies, one flew straight at me and dug its sharp claws into my left arm, with my right hand I activated the energy bar and it drove through the best on its own. I made a sprint through the forest back to Cataleya.

The flutter of wings above the trees terrified me, but not as much as dying away from Keylo and Cataleya did.

A couple demigons crashed through the trees, it was too tight for them to maneuver, it was easy enough to get away.

When I made it back to Cataleya and Keylo, she was sitting cross legged, floating above Keylo's body. Demigons were flying into the invisible shield where they immediately began disintegrating into their usual cinder.

"Cataleya!"

The next part felt like slow motion.

Cataleya fell to her brother's body, with her hand hitting his chest, like magnets, he stuck to her as she flew across the space between us at what had to be record speeds for her.

Their bodies collided with me and the wind was knocked out of me, when the electrifying feeling began stabbing every part of me.

Next thing I knew, we were slamming into other soldiers in a brightly lit medical center and I was hearing Cataleya scream for the second time ever.

[calyfornian]

Keylo and Cataleya : Nature and Nurture pt. 3

"What happened, love?" Cataleya was cradling me against her. The moonlight forcing its way through the windows and glass sliding door of their living room was enough to illuminate the different glimmering stones that adorned her.

"He, he had sex with Nevaphor." I said it in a choke, as if there wasn't air to support the words trying to escape my body.

"Nevaphor has sex with everyone, love, I know he's annoying but-"

"No, No. He didn't have sex with Nevaphor, he just had sex with him a couple fucking weeks ago. Right when, right when we accepted that it was just us. It was just Keylo and I. No one else." Tears were forcing themselves out of me, not in a violent kind of way, but they were refusing to stop.

"Maybe he just didn't understand, what was it, Mahogany, maybe he-"

"Monogamy." I hated when they didn't get what I said properly. All these things that I learned, all these things that I wanted to share with them, with Keylo, and they couldn't even fucking remember it for longer than five fucking minutes.

"Right, Monogamy, sorry, from the sound of it, maybe it was left in the past for a reason. The humans sounded like odd little creatures, maybe it just doesn't fit for us." Cataleya's hand was rubbing the upper part of my back in a circular motion, but far different from usual, I didn't feel the comfort that came from Cataleya.

"Cataleya. Cataleya," I started to cry harder.

In an attempt to collect myself, I took a step back from her to face her, the physical contact was inciting so much emotion in me. Well, that was probably only contributing to emotions after what had happened five minutes ago.

"Cataleya," I tried to look into her soft eyes, "Cataleya, I know I can't explain this enough, and not even that well, and even if I could, you wouldn't understand," the beginning of the statement forced me to take a sharp breath, " There is nothing else in this existence that I want to be engulfed in more than Keylo. I-I want him to consume me. I want him to fucking consume me." My breaths were harder and standing my ground was a well done joke when I only was crying before Cataleya in some kind of hysterics.

"You want him to consume you?" Cataleya's face was confused, or that's what I gathered in between glances through glossed over eyes.

"Leya, can we please have a cigarette?" I was unbuttoning my tight black dress shirt that was feeling way too damn restricting at the time.  I used it to wipe off my face.

"That sounds like an excellent idea, love." She slipped out of her sky high heels and continued barefoot to the wooden balcony that was their backyard.

When are cigarettes were lit, which felt like too long for my mood, Cataleya went on, "You know, I don't know if my brother wants to 'consume you,' but I can speak to the fact that he holds you so damn high, Jay. He told me," she let smoke fall out of her mouth on one drag only to elegantly inhale it through her nostrils, "he told me when those portals crack the sky open in a blinding kind of light; you're the only thing he can think about, you're the only priority."

"More of a liability than a priority." My response made me chuckle, and I didn't think it was too self deprecating.

"Whatever you say, the point is," her head bobbed upward and her red curls shook with her as she took a drag then shot the smoke into the open air, "What he has to say doesn't feel much different than from what you to say about him, the words might not be there, but I, I feel it, and you now how rare that is."

I was reminded that my protectors, they weren't much to emote. It wasn't something that they had the time to learn on their own. At the most they somewhat understood anger, it was probably the simplest emotion to understand. They didn't have time to sit in the learning annex for hours on end learning about the human brain cycle; they were busy saving the world. They didn't have time to read ancient literature that had the ability to blow a massive invisible hole through you at the loss of love, or the loss of life. I was reminded, yet again, as caring as Cataleya was, as compassionate as Cataleya was; she wasn't any of those things.

Keylo and Cataleya : Good Vibrations pt. 4

"You did exceptionally out there today. Its been so long since I'd seen you in the field; I was really taken aback at first." Keylo had finally spoken up to me after the last of his troops had left the hall to return to their quarters.

"You weren't so terrible yourself, Keylo." My smile was quick, fueled by familiarity.

A gruff laugh, mixed with a grunt, "Yeah, its a nice break not having to save your ass all of the time. Mind if we walk and talk? I have to get out of this suit." He nodded his head in the direction that he wanted to go and began moving. Looking back on it, I think it was more of a command than a question.

I followed him through the hall and to the elevators, when we were inside, I let nostalgia take hold, "You never were much for wearing something for longer than five minutes."

It brought the massive smile to his brown face, "Yeah, I suppose some things last a long time. What about you," he nudged me, "still only predicting the rain?" His laugh came back as a heavy chuckle and it caught in me.

"No, no,"  I attempted to collect myself in the moment, find some reserve, "I was promoted, now I get to look out for thunder storms too."

My attempt at humor was successful when Keylo was laughing enough to give me more of a push. I even cracked myself up sometimes.

"I really did miss you, Jay. Its so uptight around here, its nice to have been around a familiar face." He was looking at me, I could see it in my peripherals, I couldn't stand to look at him. I couldn't stand the familiarity.

"It is good to see you. I've wondered how you've been." I looked towards him and took in his features while he was staring up at the screen that informed passengers what floor they were passing. His nose, perfectly imperfect with that bone formation, it was him. I was him in the fucking flesh.

The room dinged and the elevator doors opened.

"This is me," he took a step into the foyer of his living space, paused, and turned to me, who seemed to have turned to stone in the elevator, "You're getting off, right."

My feet began to move until I was beside him, "Yeah, sorry, I must be kind of out of it."

"This is home, make yourself comfortable, the bar is over there and enthia is in my room." He left me alone in the foyer.

When he turned the corner out of sight he was peeling off his sleeve from the battle suit.

Instinct made me follow him through the unfamiliar territory. When I rounded the corner he disappeared through I came upon his bedroom. His bed was massive, and it looked reinforced; it made me think about how much more fun sex must have been with two soldiers, instead of one.

There was a large opening, more than a door, kind of like the bathroom was connected to the bedroom, Keylo came into sight with his battle suit pulled down to his lower waist where the v guided to his crotch. What was left of his single tattered sleeve was dangling beside his thigh.

With his upper half completely bare, I noticed a stark contrast between his actual skin tone and the ash that had collected on him from all of the demigons he had ripped apart with his bare fucking hands.

"Sorry, I really have to get cleaned off. You're welcome to use my facilities too, if you'd like. The shower is huge, I could probably fit three more of me in there." His face seemed more, serious. The laughter, the smile was gone, like, like he was waiting for some grave decision to be made.

Then I remembered, there was a decision to be made

I unhooked the chain around my neck which dropped my black cloak to the ground, "Yeah, it'd be good to get cleaned off."

I unzipped my battle suit to the waist, and slid my arms out of each sleeve, then pulled it down to my waist to match Keylo. He tucked his thumbs in between both sides of his waist band and without breaking eye contact, began to pull down the material.

With the suit around his ankles, he kicked the last of it off, and stood beside it, then he undid his hair and let the curly mess fall on both sides of his shoulders.

He looked the same as the day I met him. Every part of his perfect body was in tact. I guess that came with the perk of age ceasing at the day of pod evacuation. Ten months, or ten decades, he'd always be Keylo.

"You going to shower in those too." A smile snuck into his face and tugged at the right side of his mouth.

Without a word, I peeled the rest of my suit off, with less grace than he did, I nearly topped over trying to get my foot out of the tight part that clung to the ankle.

When I locked up, he made a what I think he thought was a casual tug at his penis, with a not so casual lick across his full lower lip.

He left back through the entryway to the bathroom. I quickly followed behind him.

He was turning the dial on the wall, and the half of the room farthest away from us began water pouring from six different spouts all over the ceiling, like it was raining. The water had to be scalding with how quickly the steam was everywhere. Then again, his house was cold now that I was in the nude.

Keylo wasn't much for temperature.

"There's towels in that cabinet any cleaning supplies you need to get ash off of you is in that caddy in the corner." His speech broke my eye contact with his butt.

"Thank you, I appreciate it." I passed him and headed into the near scalding water. I wasn't much for hot showers, but in the moment, it was unusually soothing.

Maybe a minute had passed before Keylo entered the small hot rain that was taking place in his home. He went straight for the caddy to pull some soap and scrubs. I let the water hit me as I watched him lather up his hard body, his hard body that I had never missed more than that moment.

He was still the god I had come to know.

I made my way over to him, done with the decision that didn't need making to begin with. The front of my body was against the back of his, and I put my hand to his chest, then he spoke up.

"You said I was the beginning and the end, is it still true?" He didn't turn, he spoke to the wall.

"The beginning and the end, Keylo, what do you think that meant?" I rubbed his chest, just like I would have four years ago, just like I had twenty years ago.

"What did it mean?" He turned around and broke the rhythm I was forming against his chest, "I thought it meant it was just us. I thought it meant it was just us, from start to finish. That's what I thought it meant."

"That's what I thought it meant too..." I wanted to say more, but his green eyes were piercing, and I was losing my focus.

"It took me so long, it took me so long to fucking figure out what this was. To figure out what you were. To figure out fucking emotion, it took me so fucking long to feel what you pretended to mean." He was yelling mixed with a kind of choked up.

"What I meant!" My reaction was an immediate yell.

"Bullshit. Bullshit. You left. You fucking left." His voice was leaning closer to choked up, then yelling.

"Keylo, I'm sorry. The council, they called for me, they needed me; things changed. Things had been different ever since-"

"You can't do that! You don't get to fucking pull that card, Jay. You don't to fucking pull that card. Maybe when I was naïve. Maybe when I thought you were right, but not the fuck now. You told me, you told me I was the beginning, and the end, and I fucking believed you, then you left me behind. You left me. Don't play the fucking victim. I don't care how much you like to." Keylo was out of breath, and if it wasn't pouring water from the ceiling, I think I might be able to say it looked like he was crying.

"I'm not doing this, Keylo. I'm here now, take me or leave me."

"Take you or leave you? Who are you?" There wasn't room for yelling, he was entirely choked up.

"This was a mistake." I headed out of the water towards the towels, when I was opening the cabinet, his hand was around my wrist, and he jerked me around almost violently.

His lips crashed against mine. Urgent to salvage the moment,

and I let them.
