Log;

She wasn't sure she'd have any luck at all, but Mercy decided she'd try and drag Thomas at of the hospital for a while. He had asked her to the Across the Universe party, so she thought she'd try to use that as an excuse to get him to go.

So, here she was, dressed up more than usual, clicking down the hallway to Anthony's room. She paused in the doorway. "Hey," she said softly. "How's he doing?"

He took her hand and lead her upstairs. Leading her over to a sofa, he let go. "You can wait here, if you want. Or you could help me pick something out."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

She smiled up at him. "You want me in your bedroom?"

[prodigalvampire]

His eyes were hungry. "You ready for the answer to that question?"

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"I think I know the answer to the question," she said quietly, an answering hunger in her own. "I guess the real question is, is it a good idea for me to come into your bedroom."

[prodigalvampire]

His eyes flickered a shade lighter for a second. "We might miss the party."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

She laughed a little shakily, never taking her eyes off him. "We've never even kissed. Hell, you've never even washed my hair."

[prodigalvampire]

This was it. She was either going to hate him forever, or this was actually going to be something worth while. He leaned in, pressing his lips to hers, passionate but not lengthy, before pulling away. During their contact, the demon thrashed and roared in it's little mental cage, but he kept hold of the key, wanting to taste Mercy for himself before he took the reins.

Mercy was startled, but kissed back, her arms going around his neck. She moaned a little as he pulled away, eyes dazed.

[prodigalvampire]

He pushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear and stood. "I'll be right back."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Mercy sat down on the couch a little unsteadily, watching where he'd disappeared into the bedroom.

"Wow."

[prodigalvampire]

Thomas came back a few minutes later, his hair pulled back, the pentacle about his neck resting atop a deep blue silken button down, beneath a black suit coat. His pants matched, and the shoes shined as well.

"Ready?"

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

She stood quickly, smiling up at him. "You're gorgeous. And yes."

[prodigalvampire]

He smiled and offered her his arm. "Of course I am. Let's get out of here."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Mercy took it, snuggling in a little. "We're going to have a great night."

[prodigalvampire]

He relaxed a bit as they walked. She was still here. That was something. He knew the way to Victrola well enough to talk was they travelled.

"So, what have you been up to?"

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"Nothing much," Mercy admitted, happy enough just to stroll along with him. "Working on the bug in the garage, working at X-Factor investigations..."

"Watching the curses hurt everyone."

[prodigalvampire]

"Yeah. Gotta love those crazy curses." He heaved a sigh. "How's the bug coming along?"

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

She thought about the heap of mismatched parts in the garage and smiled. "Slow. But it gives me something to do that feels like home. That and Medea, I guess."

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah. Thanks Kyle. "The cat?"

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. She curls up with me at night and I just feel, well... a little less alone and out of place."

[prodigalvampire]

Of course. "Well, I'm glad you have her."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." She was quiet for a moment, just enjoying the night and being with him.

[prodigalvampire]

"You know," He said, attempted to change the subject, "my brother has a beetle, back home."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

She smiled up at him. "Yeah, you said something about that before. About it always needing work or something. Too bad it's not here."

[prodigalvampire]

He chuckled slightly. "Hey. The Blue Beetle. I can't remember it ever being blue, though."
