37 Howls: Aftermath

[coyote_walking]

That was... well... I'm glad it's over.




Thomas... I have to talk to you. About the mistletoe curse.






Hey, look. No hard feelings, right? This doesn't have to affect our friendship at all. It was just a stupid curse, right?






I, um... just want you to know that as far as I'm concerned, that never happened. I mean, it did, but it was just the curse and not something, well... real. I just don't want us feeling all awkward about it okay?

Private

He doesn't care? ...At all? Does he think it's...it's okay to have sex with other people or something?

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's an incubus, so sex, well... he and I have very different ideas about it.

Maybe I've spent too much time around werewolves.

Re: Private

[rogueintent.livejournal.com]

I...would be very uncomfortable with that...are you okay with it?

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

No.

He says he hasn't slept with anyone else, though, and I believe him. So... Well, our beliefs are different, but if he's willing to respect mine... it will be okay. I hope.

Re: same filter

[notverypriestly.livejournal.com]

Well. He is a guy. We're traditionally jerks?

Re: same filter

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

You're both good guys. You are.

This is just... something we'll have to work out.

Re: Private

[rogueintent.livejournal.com]

No were would ever act like that. It's very different.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

If I was involved with a were and I even flirted with another guy... there'd be hell to pay.

Re: Private

[rogueintent.livejournal.com]

Well yes. But it'd be all the guys fault. I'd feel sorry for them. I don't know...I kind of like it that way. Charles is mine and I'm his. If it wasn't that way I wouldn't feel as safe.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Yes. That's exactly it. I feel uncertain and a little frightened.

I'm not sure he can understand why, but maybe he can accept it for my sake even if he doesn't quite understand.

Re: Private

[rogueintent.livejournal.com]

Why frightened?

I'd be frightened of someone like that. He...seems nice. But I was around people who didn't see sex as anything...

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I just feel like... well... like if he feels like it's okay for him to sleep around then... I can't stay with him.

And I really love him. So, it's frightening to think I could lose him just when we'd worked things out.

He is nice. He's wonderful.

Re: Private

[rogueintent.livejournal.com]

Just because he thinks it's okay doesn't mean he will though right? Would he be okay with you sleeping with someone else?

Re: Private

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah. You mean a lot more than sex to me, Mercy.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Okay. Okay then.

If relief could come through a keyboard, it would definitely be coming through this one.

I'm glad. I thought so, but it's good to hear.

Just... just don't go sleeping with anyone else while we're together, okay? Or at least tell me if that needs to change?

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I... I don't think he will. I think I'm more important to him than that.

Yeah, he would. He said he wouldn't mind if I slept with his brother and maybe others.

Re: Private

[prodigalvampire]

I'll do what I can, Mercy, but...I can't promise that. I can promise I'll do my best to let you know if that needs to change but...I couldn't have predicted the thing with Kyle, and if that happens again...well, I just don't want to break a promise.

Re: Private

[rogueintent.livejournal.com]

I guess that's something.

Oh...that's...I don't know what to say.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

That's different. I'd never ask you to promise something like that. If you're hurt or cursed or something just happens, there's nothing you can do.

I just... please don't go off and decide to have casual sex with someone because you have an itch or she's gorgeous or you feel like someone better different from me. It would... I couldn't handle that. The other, I can.

Re: Private

[prodigalvampire]

That I can promise.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Then we're all good.

Re: Private

[prodigalvampire]

Good. Okay.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I got so freaked about it.

Re: Private

[prodigalvampire]

It's understandable. You didn't know what I meant.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It caught me off guard, that's for sure!

Things are... very different back home. If I'd been with one of the werewolves and I'd even flirted with someone else... the guy would be a goner. And I'd be in big trouble.
