Monday - March 23rd, 2009
Who: Will and Devon
When: Evening
Where: Out
What: Dinner and a movie
Devon wasn't used to feeling nervous where Will was involved but this was to be the first time he had seen him for a while and, well, things were different between them, odd, and neither one of them really knew where things stood anymore. So he was nervous, of course, dressed in one of his nicer suit jackets, a button up and a pair of jeans, waiting at the front door and checking his watch. Five till six. He'd be there any minute. He exhaled a breath and drew his fingers back through his hair then smiled when he caught sight of him approaching.
~~~
Will had toned down this evening dress-wise. He was wearing his usual black jacket, black shirt that showed off his chest, but instead of the glittery zebra pants he'd wanted to wear he instead stepped out in normal jeans which hugged his ass and were comfortable. His hair was down, eye make up almost non existant... he wanted tonight to be real. The angel offered a wave to him as he approached but once he was there he didn't know whether to hug, kiss, or just shake hands. "You look good," he said eventually.
~~~
If he thought that Devon had more of a clue of what to do, he was wrong. The other man simply smiled, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, then replied. "So do you." He looked.. kind of normal, like.. not as glitzy as normal which was nice. Devon wanted something a little low-key right now. So many people had been talking and he hated it. He didn't like everyone being so in his business so he defintely appreciated this more... down to earth version of Will with which he was presented. "I called a cab already," he added. "I was going to drive us but... I'm kinda still learning so.. figured we might be safer letting someone else take care of it." He laughed a little. "Should be here any minute now."
~~~
"That's good... I don't really wanna die. No offence." He shot him a grin and then put his hands in his pockets, hating that he wanted to hug Devon but felt like he couldn't. "So how have you been...?"
~~~
"You already did once," Devon reminded him. He smirked a bit as he added, "I don't think I could take that a second time." Yeah, this was weird. It kind of sucked. So instead of really giving him an answer to the question, he reached out and grabbed his arm to tug him toward him, wrapping arms around him in a tight hug. He nuzzled his face against his neck, inhaling his scent deeply with a sigh. "Better now."
~~~
Oh thank fuck. As Devon wrapped his arms around him and nuzzled into his neck the angel sighed, squeezing him close. He had missed his little big man so much and he hated not having him around. It was all better in that moment. "I couldn't handle being dead again, so... works for both of us right?"
~~~
"Sounds like a win/win," Devon said with a smile, holding that hug for a bit longer before he dropped both hands down to grab hold of Will's own. "You okay?" He asked with a smile, lightly stroking the backs of his hands with his thumbs.
~~~
Will didn't want the hug to end but so long as Devon didn't go completely he didn't care. Afterwards he sighed and squeezed those hands, looking into his eyes with a soft smile. "Almost perfect now..." He heard a car and sure enough it was the cab, but they could have this moment a bit longer. "It's good to see you."
~~~
Devon's smile turned a bit shy at the remark and he lowered his gaze before he spoke. "It's good to see you too." He was quiet a moment before he nodded toward the cab. "Car's here." They could talk just as easily in the car as they could there on the steps and chances were the car would be much warmer.
~~~
Getting in the taxi Will settled down, making room for his companion before he gave instruction as to where they were going. After a few seconds of driving Will had taken Devon's hand in his once more, interlinking their fingers. "So you choose the movie tonight," he told him. "I don't care what we see."
~~~
This was nice, yet he still felt nervous. He wasn't sure how to act, what to say, who to be anymore. But maybe... maybe he just needed to say screw what he thought was expected of him and just be his fucked up self. So with a bit of a shy smile, glancing over at Will, he commented about his choice in cinema. "Leave it up to me and we'd be watching Harry Potter." He exhaled a laugh. "Or Watchmen. It just came out. I heard it's pretty good." He shrugged.
~~~
Will wouldn't want Devon to be anyone but himself because that was the only way he'd be able to grow and learn who he was. Leaning closer towards him Will tried to remember trailers. "Watchmen... sure... though I don't mind Harry Potter, you know. You converted me." He shot him a wink.
~~~
Devon laughed and then scooted in closer to Will. "Well, lucky for you, the new one's not out yet. So Watchmen it is, I guess." He gave a small shrug of his shoulders. "I hear you get to see the blue man's penis. You should like that, ya freak." He wiggled his brows at him.
~~~
"Ah... excuse me?" Will growled, raising an eyebrow and then beginning to poke him, tickle his sides. "I do not want to see a blue man's penis unless my lover has frostbite."
~~~
Devon giggled as his sides were poked, squirming a bit, a smile ever present upon his lips. "I have frostbite, I think..." He wiggled a brow at him. "Wanna see my penis?"
~~~
The angel laughed then had to bite his lip. "Honey, you know my thoughts on that," he said softly, almost purring. "You most definitely do not have frostbite but you have a lovely penis..."
~~~
"How do you know? It's been a while since you seen it and it has been awfully cold at night..." Devon was being bad and he knew it. But was there anything wrong with that? He didn't think there was. They were supposed to be having fun tonight, after all.
~~~
The angel was growling slowly, his gaze turning more devious with every word that Devon spoke. "Well I guess there'd only be one way to find out... and see if I could help..." He leant closer then, biting his lip a little and adding in a murmur. "You're not making things any easier."
~~~
Devon grinned, and in his most serious yet soft voice he replied, "Probably making them harder, aren't I?" And then he laughed before he poked Will's tummy. "I'll behave. Sorry. Just... I've missed, uhm, you know, stuff."
~~~
Will shrinked away when he had a poked tummy; Devon was right. He was certainly stirring things within him and the angel was going to find it difficult through the evening. "You don't have to behave. I've missed - stuff - too. Especially in the morning... and afternoon... and evening... and in the middle of the night..."
~~~
"Well.. maybe you could stay over tonight?" The suggestion was met with him biting his lower lip. "Do you think Syn would mind?"
~~~
"I'd like that... and I'll let Syn know I'm staying out longer." He then reached across and pressed a kiss against his cheek, smiling then as he nuzzled closer. "Anything you want."
~~~
"Good," Devon replied with a smile. "You're mine until sunrise." Of course that probably meant he wouldn't get much sleep tonight but that was fine. It didn't take a lot of sleep just to wash dishes. He'd be okay without it.
~~~
"Oooh.... like some rentboy vampire..." he teased, trying to get as close as possible to Devon. This was going better than expected. "I'm your puppet tonight my darling.. starting from where you want dinner."
~~~
Devon grinned. "Well, I figured we could start with a culinary classic...." He smirked. "McDonalds." A laugh parted his lips. "I've been craving some processed, deep-fried chicken parts."
~~~
Trust him to pick McDonald's. "Really? McDonald's...?" Will smirked at him. "You gonna get faaaaat. Too many quarter pounder with cheese meals with giant shakes and I'm gonna have to roll you home or get a ladder to mount you."
~~~
"Hey!" Devon scowled. "I am never gonna get fat." And then he frowned as he thought of something that had been bugging him. "Actually, you know I weigh exactly the same as I did the day that I turned twenty-one. And like.. everything else is the same too. It's weird. Like... nothing changes. Which I know it hasn't been that long but... that's weird, isn't it?"
~~~
Will set Devon with a look at his worries. "You have your dad's metabolism. Nothing changes with you. You could eat a whole cow and not gain any weight, and you're not supposed to keep growing at 21... your dick's gonna say the same size... but if you're concerned..."
~~~
"My dick size is fine," Devon retorted quickly. "At least you never had any complaints." He smirked. "But it's not.. just that. It's like... I could go a week and not shave and, you know what, it wouldn't get any longer or fuller than it is right now." He rubbed at his chin. "And my hair, it won't grow any longer than this. Like.. I haven't cut it at all in months and not even an inch." He shook his head softly. "That's not normal, Will."
~~~
"No complaints but plenty of moaning..." Will qiupped back, returning that smirk but as Devon continued to speak it was a little worrying. Not noticing any growing hair was really weird. "Maybe... you're still adjusting? Like your mind is catching up so maybe your whole... growth is too."
~~~
"I like the moaning," Devon said with a smirk. But yes, it was worrisome. He hadn't thought much about it at first, but now... It had been a while that things had been like this so he was kind of concerned about what might have happened with the whole wish thing. "You could be right. But.. maybe I should talk to Wesley just in case? Or Hope even. She could maybe.. do a blood panel, make sure everything's okay there."
~~~
"You should talk to both of those people," Will agreed, plaing a hand on his leg in the hope of reassuring him but also just to feel him. He missed those skinny little legs. "I don't want you to worry. Because you're lovely, Devon, and you don't deserve to have worries."
~~~
"Okay," Devon replied simply and then smiled. "I'm not worried about anything tonight. You know, other than how to keep my hands off of you long enough to eat dinner and watch a movie."
~~~
"We don't have to watch a movie," Will grinned, putting his arm around him. "I know you want some greasy shit to eat but I wouldn't mind skipping two hours in a darkened room not touching you to spend all night in a darkened room all over you."
~~~
"I know but... I want to." Devon said, looking over at him with a smile. "That's okay, right? I just... want a... date night, ya know?" He frowned a little. "I've never done that."
~~~
Will smiled and nodded. "That's fine. I understand, Devon, really. I didn't have a proper date until - for 111 years." He didn't want to mention James again. "We can go see the film after stuffing our face..." And it appeared they were almost already there. As Will paid the driver he waited for Devon to get out before following, immediatley taking his hand. "All you can eat?"
~~~
"Okay," Devon smiled. "I'll make it worth your while later..." He said this part in a sing-song voice with a grin upon his lips. Climbing out after Will, he shot him a devious grin before he said, "The all I can eat part comes later."
~~~
Will's brow raised again and he chuckled darkly. "Oh yeah?" he smirked, cuddling him closer towards him as they headed in the direction of the golden M. "I look forward to that."
~~~
"As do I," Devon grinned. And then they were in happy, greasy fast food land and he was ready to eat. A ten-piece nugget, large fry and large sweet tea later, he was a happy camper, sitting at a table with Will across from him, watching the kids out in the play place. "Wasn't that long ago I would've been out there jumping in that ball pit with them."
~~~
Will had a lot more than Devon. Burger, fries, mcflurry, shake, another burger and an apple pie. He could still put it away, and he was just about to proclaim he was bursting when Devon mentioned the kids. The angel barely gave them a glance. "Yeah well... you're in a totally different ball pit now, my friend," he smirked.
~~~
"Sometimes," Devon agreed. "But.. sometimes I wanna just.. go jump in and forget. Forget.. everything." He frowned a little. "You don't know what it's like. I mean you're... You probably can't even remember what being a kid felt like." He was old. They both knew it. He didn't look it, but he was so.. that made it hard for him to understand, probably.
~~~
"I know precisely what being a kid was like," Will replied, licking his fingers like they were talking about the weather. He hated remembering his childhood but he would if it helped Devon. "I was kept in the attic of the house while witches and demons were burnt and tortured in the rooms below. I was sent out to beg for money and try and suss out who was unclean.... I didn't have any ball pits at a fast food chain."
~~~
Argument was he'd not even had a childhood.
~~~
A frown pursed Devon's lips and then he sighed. "Mine wasn't all sunshine and roses either." He'd spent his youth being dragged from place to place, town to town, by a mother who was scared of her own shadow, traumatized by dead people over and over again. And then he'd finally found something stable and... Well one could easily see how that turned out. "Sometimes I hate this place," he said after a moment of silence. "Sometimes... I just wanna be anywhere else but here, ya know?"
~~~
"Never said it was," he said softly. But then Devon mentioned hating this place and the angel had to sigh. "Running away from it doesn't help either. Believe me, I've tried. Maybe at some point we can take a vacation. I know you don't really like Syn being in the... picture but maybe if things settle down we can just head out somewhere..."
~~~
"I know it doesn't but like... somewhere else, not everyone would know me or.. us or..." He frowned. "People wouldn't talk about us the way that they do. Wouldn't talk about you, which isn't fair. You.. didn't do anything wrong and it's just... stupid. It annoys e."
~~~
The angel frowned at what Devon was saying. "It annoys me too but if I told everyone who passed comment to go fuck themselves I wouldn't speak to anyone," he shrugged. "They can say what they want but they don't know the truth. They're passing judgement when they know nothing about it, and the funniest thing? They're not fucking in a place to do that."
~~~
"I know they aren't but... It makes me uncomfortable." Devon frowned a little. "But maybe you're right. Maybe I should just.. not give a shit. It's just.. easier said than done, ya know?" He gave a small shrug of his shoulders. But then he smiled and added, "Let's not think about that anymore tonight though. Sound like a plan?"
~~~
Will reached across and took Devon's hand. "I know it's easier said than done. Te trick is - you gotta look like you don't. So you walk around like you're having the most amazing sex of your life, you live in gold, and those who question what makes you happy are just fucking retards."
~~~
Devon shook his head softly. "I can't do that. That isn't me." He was a modest sort of guy, nothing like his father. He was more like his mother than he was James and that was her influence in him. "I just... want to be happy and have people be happy for me." He shrugged a bit. "It's just hard to do that here sometimes."
~~~
Will snorted a little. "You mean people like Charlie and others who don't want a fucking child molester and his victim around? Like a very wise vampire once said - Fuck those bitches." Still he knew that Devon was a sensitive guy and he took things like that to heart. Will stood then. "You're right let's not dwell on it. We're happy, right?" he smiled at him. "Full belly... let's blow it on popcorn."
~~~
This conversation was going badly and quickly so it was probably a good idea to just end it there. Devon smiled and moved to his feet. "And an Icee?" He asked, a grin tugging at his lips. "Maybe some nachos?" He reached a hand out to lace his fingers with Will's own, lifting it to his lips to press a kiss against his knuckles, not really concerned with the looks that got him.
~~~
Will appreciated the show of affection and he returned it with a smile and a kiss of his own on Devon's hand. "Come on, little big man..." he purred, leading them out of the 'restaurant' and out into the city. The cinema wasn't too far, and they were able to pay for the tickets and get the munchies ready for the film within around fifteen minutes.
~~~
Once they were settled at the movie, popcorn and snacks in hand, oversized drinks stuffed in the drink holders, waiting for the previews to begin, Devon decided to take a moment to say something he had been thinking about for a while. "Will... do you think maybe... maybe we could come up with a new nickname for me?" He glanced over at him. "I mean... I don't mind it really, it's okay, but it's.. a little weird for me sometimes when you call me what you do because.. well when I was younger you kind of called me the same thing and... It just.. confuses my feelings about you." He hoped this request wouldn't upset him. Will could be sensitive about things sometimes, and he didn't want to upset him.
~~~
A new nickname was the last thing Will had anticipated the kid asking so it was met by a confused sort of look as the angel considered it. "Sure..." he said eventually, not really knowing what else to say. He couldn't say no because that'd be stupid. He just never actively sought out nicknames they just - became. Before he could say anything else though the trailers began and Will was able to block it out.
~~~
"Thanks," Devon replied with a smile. Maybe they didn't have to actively seek to figure one out but.. a combination of what he called him when he was still a kid along with what he was right now was just weird for him. It made him feel like he was still a child when he was trying to be a grown up. Devon settled back as the trailers began, laughing at a few of them and remarking that he'd like to see that when a few of them came on.
~~~
In truth Will wasn't watching the trailers, though he agreed with everything Devon said just to not be rude. When the film started he linked arms with Devon, running through his mind. Not Little BIg Man... not that. Maybe something funny? H hhad no idea which made him frown a little. And then there was a sex scene in the film and he forgot all about it.
~~~
This was supposed to be a comic book movie! Those weren't supposed to have sex scenes. And yet right there, just after an action-packed beginning, there it was. Devon shifted somewhat uncomfortably. He was still a man, a young man, and he had hormone issues, of course. He cleared his throat and then glanced at Will, flushing slightly before his focus moved back to the screen. He'd never had sex with a woman but he wanted to. And this scene reminded him of all the reasons why.
~~~
Will missed Pearl. He'd not done right by her and he knew she deserved better than him but he still adored the woman. If he were compelely straight he wouldn't have left her alone. With a sigh Will stroked along Devon's leg, just idly, barely paying attention to the story.
~~~
Pearl was attractive. Devon thought she was stunning. But he had no idea which girl he wanted to be with. He had figured it would be Blue, but not she was gone so... now he had no idea. But there was no need to rush things, right? "Blue penis," he remarked with a laugh, glancing over at Will with a smirk. "Guess that means he always has blue balls."
~~~
Will sniggered. "Yeah. I know how that feels, man, it's not good..." If he wanted, Will would be able to find a woman who Devon could explore and not feel awkward around. Maybe it would be bes that he knew said person but still. Once again his hand found Devon's.
~~~
"I don't." He smirked. "I just jerk off." He exhaled a soft laugh and then looked down at that hand, lacing fingers with his own. He was going to speak again, but then he noticed that someone was glaring at them and he shut his mouth. This was a movie. They were here to watch it. The talking could wait until after.
~~~
The movie continued for longer than expected and WIll didn't really understand it, because he was not paying attention for the first half. As soon as it was over and the credits started to roll he pressed a soft kiss to Devon's cheek. "I've decided," he said finally. "On your nickname. Wanna hear it?" He offered him a small grin. "It's... Devon."
~~~
The movie was... disappointing. It was long and it didn't always make sense and he had no idea why they had to keep showing the blue man's dick but.. whatever. At least it was over. He looked at Will when he spoke and then he grinned broadly. "I like it." He smirked. "It suits me."
~~~
"See? I knew I'd come up with something." Giving Devon a small kiss to the lips he then chuckled and began leading him out of the cinema, just strolling. He shot the two who had glared at them a look of death, then turned to face him, walking backwards. "So..... what do you wanna do now?"
~~~
