“Good. You should feel that way always, though you are something definitely better than a queen to me.” He smiled, glad to see her smiling and seemingly happy. He’d felt the distance he’d left as well, and still felt some distance simply because of how different he felt. Erik felt more distant and wary than he’d been before, and he didn’t know how to be who he’d been. Setting the two bowls out, he chuckled. “Yes, I Of course can’t use the same lines with my whole harem. That would simply be disrespectful.” He laughed at the idea, shaking his head as he got silverware and moved to sit with her.

“Eh, it is not, but I do my best to always remember things pertaining to you.” Erik gave her a soft smile, wishing he knew how to be exactly what she needed at all times. But, as that was likely a flaw he’d never be able to completely over come he simply determined to do his best. “I’m done darling. I managed to time it just right.” He loved to get bowls as she moved to the wine, using his magic for the small task simply to practice the small gesture again. “That is a special skill I happen to have, yes. But in your case the flattery is always true.”

“Makes me feel like a queen.” Selena smiled. She’d always loved how Erik seemed to take an interest, how he actually wanted to know her just as much as she seemed to want to know him. It had been hard, the distance between them since his return, she hoped perhaps they could put that behind them. When he said he was done, Selena nodded and set the two glasses down, pouring them both the wine while she waited for Erik to serve up their meal. The small use of his magic made Selena smile. “Good to know you’re not just feeding me the same things you tell other girls.” She chuckled playfully.

Erik returned her kiss happily, relaxing at the gesture and encouraging words.  He wasn’t sure where he fit in the world anymore, but he knew at the very least he would always have her.  Putting an arm around her as she leaned in close, he chuckled at the question.  “Of course I do darling. How could I ever forget?”  Smiling at her, he bent to kiss her again softly before looking back at the stove.  “I made some chicken as well, in case you felt like a protein in your meal too.”  Looking back at her, he spoke softly.  “You’ve only grown more beautiful with time my love.”

“I don’t know perhaps it’s not on your mind much these days.” Selena chuckled, returning his kiss when he leaned in again. It felt nice, to be kissed by him, relaxed and slow. Selena had missed it. “Sounds delicious babe, should I let you get back to it or are you already done?” She smiled, stepping back so he could return to cooking while she used her magic to set her jacket on her coat rack, kicked off her heels and began to get comfortable, moving over to her winerack, choosing a bottle and pouring them both a glass of the rich red. “Is that so? You’ve always been a flatterer love.” She smiled playfully around the rim of her glass.

“Then stop worrying.” She chuckled fondly and cupped his cheek, bringing Erik into a kiss. Her life was certainly full of responsibility but that didn’t mean she didn’t have room for him, Selena would always have time for Erik. When he asked if she’d ever been refused she smirked. “Well, the people who have didn’t last long.” She smirked, pressing into him more, always comforted by the feel of his strong body against her own. “My favourite hm? You still remember how to make your famous Mac n’ Cheese?” She teased him, but was already looking forward to the meal, it had been ages since she’d tasted Erik’s cooking, far too long. She was certainly no chef, but had whipped them up a decent meal over the years before the world ended. 

Erik returned her kiss happily, relaxing at the gesture and encouraging words.  He wasn’t sure where he fit in the world anymore, but he knew at the very least he would always have her.  Putting an arm around her as she leaned in close, he chuckled at the question.  “Of course I do darling.

“Of course, you’re abilities aren’t what make me love you. Of course I was drawn to you back then for your power but that was then.” Selena answered simply. She could see his doubts and she didn’t want him to think he was suddenly weak because of what happened, but Selena was powerless to do anything about that. “I always have time for you Erik, you just need to come to me.” She reminded him. Selena wasn’t going to chase him around like some lovesick puppy, she did indeed love him deeply, more than anyone she’d ever loved, he was her family but she was also strong, and had her self-respect. Selena was pleased to see a smile touch his lips, that familiar playfulness she’d missed. “Good, because I don’t like being refused.”

“I know that my love, truly I do.” Erik sighed, lifting an eyebrow before giving up.  He’d not wanted to interrupt her work, or her current sense of purpose now that she had a coven and a bar to run.  Life was more complicated for her, but he wasn’t about to let that come between her and him.  “Have you ever been refused Selena?  I believe anyone who looks at you would simply throw themselves at your feet in awe.”  He smirked and winked teasingly, glad to be able to fall into a lighter mood.  “Also, I cooked what your favorite meal used to be at least, but don’t feel like you have to eat it.  I’ll understand if you’re not hungry or..such.  My gesture wasn’t entirely thought through, even if well meaning.”

It was reassuring to hear that Erik’s feelings hadn’t changed, but Selena would need actions to back up those words. After all, he’d been so distant since he’d come back into her life. She understood he’d needed time, but she felt that it was almost harder, to know he was there and yet have to keep her distance instead of him just being gone. “You power isn’t what makes me love you Erik, it was always who you are, not what you can do.” She reminded him. “But if you feel like you need to train again, like we used to, you should have come to me. I’ll gladly help you remember all that power and strength you had. Besides, there was nothing hotter to me than watching you flex that power.” She smirked. 

“Hm, but am I the man you fell in love with without my abilities? That is the question I’m struggling to answer.  I’m also doubting myself, which you’ll know is not anything I’ve ever dealt with before.  But.”  He smiled a bit, looking at her earnestly.  Erik truly did adore her, the warlock loving the witch more than he ever had anyone else in life before.  His new unsteadiness and fears had him off balance, and he didn’t wish to risk her to right himself, even if he also understood that thought was ludicrous.  He trusted Selena, and knew she’d be able to help him in the same way he’d assisted her all those years ago. “I would like that, when you have time darling.”  When she smirked at him he chuckled and gave her a flirty wink back.  “In that case, I obviously can’t refuse you that sight if you enjoy it so.’

Selena didn’t want him to feel guilty but she did appreciate the apology. It had been hard to give him his space, feeling like she was losing him all over again or doing something wrong or that things had changed and she didn’t know how to fix it, put things back the way they should be. Selena smiled slightly at the kiss to her brow and when Erik told her she should just slap him if he became so reclusive again. “You know I’m never going to force you to spend time with me Erik. If things have changed, I’d understand. We live in a different world now and we’ve been apart for almost a century. I’d get it if that meant you didn’t feel the same way anymore.” She just wanted him to know that he wasn’t obligated to want or love her just because he had once before. 

Erik lifted an eyebrow, offering her a soft smile.  “Now, that is insanity Selena.  There’s not a world change or space of time that could pass that would affect how I feel about you.  You’re still the strong, brave, intelligent woman I fell in love with, only you’ve come o far and become so much stronger than you’ve ever been before.”  He smiled at her before running a hand through his hair. “My distance has only been my own fretting....I’m weaker than I was, less than...”  He grimaced, not liking to admit weakness to anyone, not even his beloved.  “I worry that my lacking will affect how you see me.  That’s..well.  The highly unattractive and insecure reason I’ve been off working at regaining my strength.”

“How did you end up a slave? You don’t strike me as some sort of human sympathizer.” Erik quirked an eyebrow, curious about the werewolf. He seemed an interesting sort, even if he was a bit callous. “Thanks.” He smirked back before laughing a bit. “That’s one way to go about things I suppose. You pulled together a costume pretty well I’ll admit. Creative.”

warlock-erik‌:

Erik’s eyebrow rose, surprised by the complete lack of respect but also wasn’t going to be bothered to punish it. So far the slave was amusing at least. “That he did not, but you seem to be making it work. And alright. Don’t cause trouble and you won’t have an issue then.” He could tolerate a supernatural slave much more than a human one, his absolute hatred for mortals making him much more likely to torture them than be amused by odd behavior. Glancing down at his costume he shrugged. “Some sort of ancient Roman fighter. It was what I could find last minute. And you are a werewolf? Even though I’m assuming that’s what you are anyways?”

“Don’t plan on causing trouble, but that doesn’t mean trouble doesn’t usually find me. I didn’t end up a slave because I’m a careful guy.” Xander shrugged casually. He could see this master wasn’t sure what to make of his attitude but Xander was still a 300 year old werewolf and had been a slave less than a few months. His attitude wasn’t going to adjust itself. He studied the costume and nodded. “Gladiator. Sexy.” The wolf smirked before giving a nod and a chuckle. “Yeah, the guy who rented me didn’t priorities a costume so I made it work. Stole the ears from some slave girl when I walked in here.” He grinned.

Erik had been watching the slaves at the party in particular, ensuring the ones who were hired by Selena stayed in line and did their jobs, while the owned ones he just watched. If they acted up he’d find the master or Mistress he’d noticed bring them and alert them. Thankfully the evening had been smooth so far, Erik only having to inflict light pain a couple of times just to refocus the hired ones. The wolf slave slipping away had caught his eye, and he’d moved to follow, the sight that greeted him making him smirk a bit with amusement. “I can’t say that I have. Rather creative of you. Does the man who brought you know you’re off doing this?” He expected not, but was curious about the slave’s response.

When asked if the master who’d paid for his company for the night knew he’d found himself a nice little corner to smoke in, Xander shrugged casually. “Dunno, don’t really give a shit.” He answered plainly. What was it this guy’s business anyway, he was the one who’d rented him so what did it matter if Xander was doing his ‘duty’ as a slave or whatever. He wasn’t employed for the night so as far as he could see he could fucking enjoy himself. “He’s probably got his dick in some other slave or someone else by now anyway, pretty sure he only paid for me so he could say he brought a slave to this party, after all, he didn’t exactly dress me up all pretty or some shit.” Xander shrugged as he lit his joint and took a deep drag of the weed. “Fuck are you supposed to be anyway?” He asked, gesturing to the other’s costume or lack of one, Xander couldn’t tell.

Xander hadn’t exactly tried very hard with his costume, he didn’t really give much of a shit about Halloween anyway. Some master had rented him for the night to take to the party, whatever stupidity had driven them to do that he didn’t care so long as he could make the most of it for himself. So he’d simply ripped up the clothes they’d given him a little, splashed some blood here and there, and stolen a girls pair of fluffy ‘wolf’ ears, slipped them into his curls and called himself a “Wolfman”. His naturally bi-coloured eyes probably helped ‘sell’ the costume a little more, what with his genetic defect of having one eye permanently stuck in its wolf form, golden, canine and utterly inhuman contrasted against his natural blue eye. It had been pretty easy to slip away from the guy who’d rented him, find himself a nice corner to roll a joint. “What, never seen a slave score some weed before? It’s real fuckin’ easy when you know who to talk to.” He smirked, licking along the edge of his paper.

Selena didn’t want to tell him that he was right, he had been distant and that she’d hated it because she’d been trying to give Erik his space. She still didn’t know exactly what had happened to him all these years, so it would have been selfish for her to expect him to just go back to the way things had been before. But it didn’t hurt any less to get him back and then have this distance between them. 

Slowly she offered up a smile, soft and gentle as she set down her belongings and walked over to him. “Yeah, you’ve been a little shit lately but I get it Erik. You needed time and I was trying to give that to you. You don’t need to apologise to me, but dinner would be nice, thank you.” She said softly. Selena didn’t want to dismiss what he’d done for her, but she wanted him to know he didn’t have to apologise either. 

“Of course I need to apologize to you.  My own insecurities shouldn’t affect the time I spend with you.  And I’ve been letting them.”  Taking her hand, he sighed softly, meeting her eyes with a slight smile.  “I truly am sorry.  Feel free to just come slap me if I do it again?  I’ve been more introverted with how I deal with things than I used to be it seems.  But that’s no excuse for staying as distant as I’ve been.”  Gently he kissed her brow, wanting to give her his affection but also not wanting to push it while apologizing.  He’d understand if she was irritated with him.  He’d been very reclusive with everything as of late.

“As did mine. I spent a lot of time with them before the bombs and found many who were kind and caring, who wished for better than there was in the world at the time. They aren’t all evil, no matter what you believe. And you’re not going to convince me otherwise,” She replied to him, her eyes narrowed, showing just how displeased she was with the fact he kept calling her an idiot and stupid. “That’s your opinion. It doesn’t change what I know and what I believe. So if you’re done calling me names, since you’re not in the cell, you can walk away now.”

“Obviously not.  Because at this point if I could convince you otherwise your life would just get that much worse would it not?”  He chuckled a bit, shaking his head.  Erik was admittedly amused by how irritated she seemed to be at him calling her foolish.  “What you know may be completely flawed because of your dim wits, just as my opinion may be entirely biased because of life experience.  Mine is at least accompanied by intelligence though.  And perhaps I’m not done calling you names.  I believe I’m the one whose to give orders around here, hm?  I’ll walk off whenever it pleases me pet.”

Selena figured Erik needed his space and so she’d kept her distance from him. It had hurt a little to do so, having him back after thinking him dead for so long and then him barely seeing or speaking to her had cut deep but she told herself that it was fine and busies herself with work. After all, she had the Halloween Event to consider, her club being the location for this year’s festivities, her coven was a major priority so the witch didn’t have time for relationship issues. 

She’d been at Nebula for most of the evening but left earl when she simply needed time away, every intention to curl up in her apartment with a good book and a glass of wine. Cliche, but she didn’t care. A little time to herself would be good. 

When Selena walked into her place, saw the lights on, the smell of food cooking, she was stunned, briefly alarmed until she saw Erik’s familiar silhouette in the kitchen. “What’s this all about?” Selena asked skeptically, slipping out of her leather jacket and her emerald heels. 

Smiling a bit at the witch, he looked at his hands for a brief collecting moment before he responded.  “It’s my rather cliche attempt at an apology.  I’ve been distant and removed far more than I should have been my dear.  I figured a gesture might help with my current...inadequacy.”  The warlock stayed where he was, knowing his behavior hadn’t been what it should, though he also found it difficult to explain.  It was one thing to be captured and then escape, but for him to now be haunted and weaker, he didn’t imagine those would be attractive qualities in a partner.  “Just wanted to thank you for being patient with me.”

[warlock-erik]

Erik knew he’d been distant as of late, the warlock having been focused on strengthening his power now that he had found Selena again.  That had always been his first goal, but now that it was accomplished he felt a need to be the man she’d fallen for again.  Strong, capable.   Not the haunted, weakened mess he felt he was now.  The humans had taken so much from him, he didn’t want to lose her now because he couldn’t be who she’d loved again.

But, he had also come to the realization he was withdrawn and seemingly not seeing her often, and he hoped to make up for it tonight.  He’d made dinner, there were candles lit, and he’d made sure everything was as she liked.  Erik knew he was risking that she already had plans by not telling her, but he wasn’t worried about it.  All he wanted was for her to be happy, even if it was only for a moment.  

When she came in he was finishing in the kitchen, the warlock turning to look at her with a soft smile.  “Surprise?”  Erik wasn’t totally sure if it was the right gesture, but he hoped it was the thought that counted.

Hanna could feel her body tensing the more she spoke. How much she hated not having her vampire abilities anymore, because she never would have let someone talk down to her like he was right now. Glaring at him, Hanna walked closer to the edge of her cell. “I’m not an idiot. Just because you’ve obviously had a bad experience with humans, doesn’t mean they are all monsters. Can you blame them for hating us and not trusting us when this is what we do to them? Someone has to make it all stop. To reach out and try to make peace and that’s what I did. You can say whatever you want, but I’m not going to change my mind or my opinion of them. So go ahead and keep trying to make me feel like I’m stupid. I know better.” She was not about to let some bitter Warlock shake the confidence she had in herself and her beliefs.

“A bad experience?  Darling, I got to experience the lovely creatures in their natural habitat for nearly a century and got to see exactly what sort of monsters they are.  And my interaction began before they even knew about us fully my dear.  They’re manipulative monsters who’ve skillfully worked you over.  And here you are, paying the price for your idiocy.  If you’d like to hang on to your ignorant hope, that’s your prerogative, but I’m also not going to suddenly discover you’re not stupid.  Ultimately, the tell really is who is in the cell and who isn’t.”

[warlock-erik]

hanna-witter‌:

Hanna didn’t take kindly to him laughing at what she said and she narrowed her eyes as she looked at him, arms folded across her chest as she stood there. “They aren’t all monsters. Not the ones I’ve met and have known throughout my life. You have all chosen to blame a whole race for the mistakes of a few. Not all of humanity is evil. Just like how not all vampires let their blood thirst run their lives. Or how not all witches and warlocks tamper with dark magic. We are all different and it’s the same for the humans. I helped the ones who were innocent. I’m not insane and I am most definitely not stupid.”

“They are, and you’re a fool to have fallen for their pitiful whining.  All of humanity is evil, just as vampires need life to live and witches do terrible things with both dark and light magic.  None of them are innocent, except maybe babies, and those are just monsters that haven’t gotten big yet.  You’re an idiot my dear, but it’s alright.  Perhaps someone will find that attractive.”

Dropping her legs down to let them fall straight in front of her, she then got up onto her feet and instead leaned against the wall just to prove a point. “Better?” She quirked a brow at him, not missing the way he stated that she must have something wrong with her for sympathizing with the humans. “And just because I helped some humans, doesn’t mean I’m broken. In fact, I think it’s just the opposite. Knowing the risks of helping them and still doing it? I think that’s courage.”

Erik couldn’t help but laugh, certain now that this woman was either brainwashed or mentally handicapped in some way.  “But it does.  You assisted monsters who would kill and torture you if they had a chance, and that my dear, is complete idiocy.  The fact that you would label it courage simply proves you’re absolutely insane.  Or completely stupid.”

He was the first one to stop by her cell and mock her in someway, and she guessed that he would not be the last. But looking up at him from where she was seated on the floor, doing her best to avoid being spotted by any of them, but it seemed they were on the hunt for her. “I’m just sitting here,” She replied, not trying to curl up because she was broken, but just because it was comfortable and felt safe for her. “I’m not broken or anything.”

“You must be broken in some way, to assist humanity.  And you can say you’re “just sitting” all you like.  You’re curled into a ball in the corner of a cell.  A more aggressive master would be pinning you to the wall right now for fun.”  He was half tempted himself, but ultimately wouldn’t be bothered to.  This one was simply stupid in his eyes.
