Who: Charlie and Trevor When: Morning Where: Their place What: Powers gone wild!
Trevor and Charlie had been on campus LATE last night trying to get caught up on some homework. Charlie was trying to get her GED and Trevor was helping her out because, well, he was sweet like that. And they'd slept in late because of it. Charlie had woken up earlier than Trevor had and she had decided to get a shower and this was where she was when the vision came. It startled her at first, and then she got so angry, so fucking angry, because this... this ruined everything!!! She rinsed off and turned off the shower, grabbing a towel to wrap around herself before heading back into the bedroom where Trevor was still in bed. "Trevor!" She said loudly, trying to wake him up. "Wake up. I wanna talk to you." ~~~ Trevor made a small snuffling noise when Charlie started saying his name, it was too early, he so didn’t wake up yet…even if it was for sex he did not want to wake up. Oh but it wasn’t for sex, she apparently wanted to talk…even better. He groaned and rolled onto his back, letting the blanket slide down his body. “Red what is it? It’s way too early for me to be awake.” Trevor had no idea what time it was, but he was just so tired he figured it was too early. ~~~ "It's almost noon," Charlie said, giving him a moment to settle into some sort of awakeness before she continued. "What did you do last night? What the fuck happened?" Her arms were crossed over her chest and her stance showed that she was clearly annoyed. She wasn't sure how this had happened, but he had to have done something. She was still the same, after all. So it couldn't have been some weird magic thing, right? So it had to have been him. He did something. Maybe when he went to the bathroom or whatever, she didn't know, but he had to have done something or said something or.... "You made a wish, didn't you? You ran into that crazy Djinn and made a wish!" ~~~ Trevor blinked at his wife and then raised an eyebrow at her. “Charlie, I was with you last night, I didn’t do anything.” He frowned at her and then his eyes widened. “You know damn well I wouldn’t go anywhere fucking near her if I had a choice!” The Djinn was a touchy subject with Trevor, she was not his favourite creature. “Now please explain to me baby what you are so angry about.” ~~~ "But.. well.. not the whole night!" He'd gone to the cafeteria to get them some food and he'd gone to the bathroom a time or two but... Well this wasn't making any sense. "But... then..." She exhaled a breath and flopped down on the side of the bed. "How?" She frowned, trying to get some sort of clarity, trying to see what had happened last night that made it so the man she woke up with was no longer her husband. Well, he was still, of course, but he wasn't the same. ~~~ “Baby I got us food and I went to the bathroom, I don’t know what you mean, I was gone for maybe fifteen minutes when I got food.” Trevor fell back onto the pillows because this was going to make his head hurt. “Charllie why don’t you just tell me what has happened, I am missing some piece of info here baby girl.” He folded his arms under his head as he waited for her to talk. ~~~ Charlie was racking her brain trying to figure it out. She felt exactly the same. Exactly. Nothing about her had changed at all. But they had been at the same place all evening and... it didn't make sense! She exhaled a sigh and glanced over at him. "Think about it, Trevor. The full moon is this weekend. Do you feel it? Really? Like you usually do?" ~~~ Trevor blinked at her and then focused on himself, it was true he felt nothing, no pull no extra hunger or anger. He looked up at her and smiled. “I…no I feel nothing…why is that I mean I don’t have to fight against urges, I’m not angry I feel almost normal.” He laughed as he sat up and then blinked as petals fluttered down on Charlie when he laughed. “Well that was odd…” He said before biting on his lip. ~~~ "But you felt it yesterday!" Charlie contested. She knew that he had because he had been short tempered and agitated and, well, extra horny which was why they had done it like half a dozen times. She glanced up when the petals seemed to fall from nowhere and then she scowled. "It's not odd, it's... annoying! This ruins everything!!!" ~~~ Trevor nodded at her statement. “yeah I did, I could feel the moon creeping up on me and starting to control me.” He said and then was completely shocked by her reaction. “Woah baby what is wrong?” He asked as he got up and took her hands. “How does it ruin things? Please tell me what’s going on inside that beautiful head of yours?” He asked as he kissed her cheek. ~~~ Charlie was so upset. And him being sweet about it just made her that much more upset because it made her want what she wanted even more and now she would have to wait until this... whatever this was was over and done with to get it. And what if it was never over and done with? What if she could never be like him now? She pulled one of her hands away from him to wipe an angry tear from her cheek, her lips formed into a perfect pout as he kissed her cheek. "I... I was gonna ask you to... to make me like you this weekend!" But she hadn't even had the chance to talk to him about it yet and now this had happened! "I saw it once, in a vision, back when we first met, and back then it scared me but then I started thinking about it and... I really love you and I don't ever wanna lose you, not ever, not by any means, and I am already older than you are and so.. I didn't wanna get old like normal and you like.. stay younger longer and then..." She exhaled a breath. "I just don't want that." ~~~ Trevor was surprised by her reaction and he just pulled her into his lap on the bed, holding her close to him as a warm breeze seemed to surround them, causing her hair to float around her like a halo…okay this was getting really weird for him. “You…you wannat be a lion?” Trevor asked with great surprise. “It’s not just the not aging Charlie, there’s a lot of shit you have to deal with…I mean if it’s what you really want than I will of course help you through it but…are you sure?” Trevor wasn’t sure how he felt about it and then it hit him…he couldn’t bite her, he couldn’t change her and that knowledge pissed him off. “but I’m sure whatever is going on won’t last…Adam told me about other shit that’s happened around here because of stupid magic.” ~~~ Charlie didn't even notice the whole breeze thing. She was too distracted by her own thoughts racing to really pay attention to anything else. "I do. And I know that. I know it's not all.. sunshine and roses but..." She moved her hands up to cup his face, stroking fingers down his cheeks. "I love you. You're my husband. And I wanna share that with you, you know? I wanna like.. be a part of your..." She frowned as she tried to think of what they called it for lions. "Pride. I wanna be a part of your pride." She exhaled a small sigh and then pouted a bit more. "Stupid magic." ~~~ Trevor smiled at her and then played with her hair. “Well then when this stops going to hell, we will do it on the first full moon after…however you will have to talk to Riley about it and I think we should have someone else there just in case I taste you and lose myself…I don’t think I will but just in case.” He said softly and then chuckled. “Yes my pride…which is just me because Adam and I can not be in the same one. You do know how vicious and protective female lions are right? Especially with their cubs. You might be a bit more protective of Mara than before.” ~~~ "Do I have to?" Talking to Riley had not been in her master plan. She didn't want him to tell her no and she had a feeling that he would. Or he would, at the very least, tell her that she should wait until they had been together for longer. But she didn't wanna wait. She wasn't going anywhere and neither was Trevor. She was sure of that. They would always be in love and they would always be together no matter what else happened in their lives. "I don't think you'd hurt me. I mean you'd smell yourself on me and you'd know that I was yours so..." She ruffed up his hair with her fingers. "I'd be okay but if it'd make you feel better, we could have someone else nearby probably." She didn't want someone else watching them though. It would be a very intimate thing, if it went the way it had in her vision, and she didn't want to share that with anyone else. "Aww. She's my cub." Charlie giggled. Of course thinking about Mara made her think about something else and though it wasn't totally a right now sort of thing, it was a maybe in the future sort of thing. "Do you wanna have a baby with me someday?" ~~~ Trevor gave her a look and then sighed. “You know he will be fucking pissed if he finds out after. And yeah maybe he will say no, but You don’t have to ask his permission …just tell him you wanted to talk to him about it. He is your legal guardian or whatever it’s called but he doesn’t get to chose this, you do.” He said softly as the wind died down. “I don’t really want someone watching us but…I want you to be safe.” He said as he nuzzled her and then chewed on his lip. He looked up at her when she asked that question and he shrugged slightly. “Maybe someday, if we are both lions we have time to wait for when we want.” ~~~ "Yeah, and? He'll be pissed if he says he doesn't want me to do it and then I do it anyway." Charlie gave a small shrug of her shoulders. "It's kinda no win, ya know?" But he probably had a point. She hated that. She should probably tell Riley that she was going to do it if for no other reason than the fact that they had a child together and her and Trevor lived in his house. "We'll figure it out." She frowned and then added, "It's not like we don't have time now." She was still pissed that it couldn't be this weekend. She'd already had it all planned out and... she'd wanted it to be this weekend! She'd wanted to be able to shift with him come the next full moon and know what it was like to be with him in that way too. That wasn't a yes answer and she wasn't sure that she liked the uncertainty behind it. She sighed, a frown pursing her lips. "It was such a horrible experience being pregnant with Mara. And giving birth and having her around as a baby because of... because of JR." She paused and added, "It's not supposed to be that way. And I want... I wanna do it again, eventually, with someone that I'm in love with who is also in love with me and that I feel safe with, ya know? Instead of having to be so.... terrified and upset all the time." She chewed her bottom lip for a moment before she added, "I love Mara. I do. But sometimes... I can't help but feel things that I feel guilty about feeling when... when I'm around her." ~~~ It was true Riley would most likely say no, but Trevor had an idea for that. “What if I offer it to him to? You know he’s thinking about getting older, I mean he’s a pretty guy, he don’t wanna look old.” Trevor thought it was a good plan as he ran his hand over charlie’s back, wanting to soothe her , knowing she was upset. “We do have time, I know you don’t want it but I’m sure come next full we can do it.”
Trevor looked at her when she was talking about Mara and he hugged her tight. “It won’t be like that with our baby Charlie, they will be so incredibly loved…and Mara will be an amazing big sister.” He said softly and then looked at her. “I know you do baby…but you’re just going to have to work on it because you can’t keep punishing yourself forever. Look where you both are now…your lives are good.” He said against her skin. “and if you can’t tell…I do want a baby with you, but I’m only 18, give me a couple years.”
~~~ Charlie looked at him like he'd lost his mind. "No!" Yes, he had a point, and that would probably make Riley feel better about her doing it but... "If we decided that we were going to let him be a part of it then I'd do it, not you. That'd just be... weird." She made a face. The idea of him biting Riley was just... too weird. "I hate waiting," she pointed out, as though the quickie marriage in Atlantic City wasn't proof enough of that. "But... okay. Next month. We'll.. plan it all out."
Talking about Mara, about JR, about the pregnancy and the delivery and the time when Mara was a baby, it was definitely upsetting for Charlie. "I know it's not my fault," she said softly. "But I... I can't just... I don't know how to just put it behind me." And a part of her thought that maybe doing it again, doing it the right way, would make it better. She frowned at him as he spoke, though the frown was slowly turning around, and she asked in a small voice, "Well, that doesn't mean that we can't, you know... practice in the meantime, right?" ~~~ Trevor hadn’t exactly expected her to be thrilled about the idea but then he laughed slightly at her reaction. “Yes Charlie, you would bite him…I really don’t want to be the one holding him and biting into his neck thanks.” Trevor cleared his throat and then smiled at her. “I know you do but it will be worth it.” Trevor hoped she wouldn’t regret it, he wasn’t all that thrilled to have the lion in him but what could he say.
He hated seeing Charlie upset and all he could do was hold her and kiss her cheek. Then he let out a laugh and nodded. “Oh yes, we can practice a lot for the baby, trust me…I’m good with that.”
~~~ "Good. Cuz I'd be jealous." Charlie smiled a little at the admission. "You're both mine so... you can't be like that with each other." Not that Trevor wanted to. Even though he had been with men, it wasn't exactly his thing so she didn't have to worry about that but... She still wouldn't be comfortable with it. "I know it will be," she replied softly. "It's the right thing for us. And maybe... maybe if I am with you like that then.. then you can learn to feel better about what you are and what happened to you." She was confident that it was the best thing for the both of them.
The laugh made her smile, eyes brightening. "Good," she smirked, wiggling her brows. "Cuz... I'm naked under this towel and..." She ran her hand down his chest and added, "So are you." ~~~ Trevor scrunched up his nose and then shook his head. “Oh fuck there’s no way in hell I’d put myself in an intimate position with Riley…” Not even if Charlie asked, which he knew she never would. “It is…I agree.” He said softly and then chewed on his lip. “I will tell you what happened with that if you want…before I turn you.” Trevor hadn’t spoken to Charlie or anyone other than Rez about it so he figured she should know.
Trevor looked at the towel and blinked in surprise as it floated away, seemed to fluff itself and fold itself on top of the dresser. “Dude this is kinda awesome.” He laughed and then rolled onto the bed with her. “So I am, what a good eye you have Mrs. Reid.”
~~~ "Good." Charlie smirked a little. She would share either of them with someone else if the time was right but not with each other. She was too territorial for that. A small smile formed upon her lips when he said that he would tell her about what happened to him. "Baby, you don't have to tell me anything until you're ready." She had never pushed him. She would never push him. But she would always listen when he wanted to talk.
Charlie let out a surprised gasp when he made the towel float away and over onto the dresser. "Tricksy, tricksy!" She giggled, shifting easily beneath him as he rolled her onto the bed. "Mmm, I'll never get tired of hearing that, of being your wife." She smiled brightly. "I love it." She tangled fingers in the back of his hair as she added, "I love you." And she leaned up to press a warm kiss against his lips, pulling him tight against her with a soft moan vibrating against his lips. ~~~ Trevor sighed and shrugged, he wanted to tell her, he just hated how weak he sounded in the story. “I will, I want to.” He said softly, but happily becoming much more distracted once the towel came off. “hey this power has it’s uses.” He grinned and then kissed her. “I will never get tired of hearing it either, I love it.” He murmured and then smiled. “I love you too.” He answered back as he pressed against her and nipped at her bottom lip. ~~~ "Okay. I'll always listen, ya know?" Charlie assured him. And she wouldn't judge, though she didn't need to tell him that. She giggled again and then remarked, "Almost makes me sad that it's only temporary." She grinned. "Almost." But she didn't want it to stay that way. It could be fun though, while it lasted. "So let's take these powers of yours out for a test drive," she suggested with a grin and then nipped at his lip in return. ~~~ “I know you will babe, I’m not worried about that.” He said softly as he kissed her again, grinning at her words. “I wonder what else they can do, I mean I’m not sure what the hell I’m doing here.” He chuckled and then growled when he nipped at his bottom lip, which was weird because that didn’t even sound the same.
