Partner

Short, I know. Perhaps I'm tired. Possibly not. I thought it was just me going, the idea of writing sex between these two is meh. Like. Not interesting. Obviously it's been long enough that the wallbanger is there but I get the vibe that it's like. Sex for the sake of going through the motions.

Back when I mentioned Souse/Koln last it was more in a "I thought about saying this, but it seems wrong" which isn't a gauruntee. Yes I could work it. It wouldn't be as fun that way and it's not important to the plot. Mildly amusing to see a certain reaction. Mildly.

Anyways. Read, Review and Enjoy.




Mik dropped his keys on the counter and sighed at Paw, sitting at the kitchen table, trying to piece his computer back together. Bits sat all over the kitchen table. Tools scattered across the floor. Mik walked over to the Sidhe, grabbed a green chip thing that he knew was needed for computers to run, or at least fairly certain, and dropped it into the sink. Paw screeched when Mik ran water over the part and leaped over the table when Mik hit the switch that turned on the little machine that munched its way through nearly anything.

Not quite through a chip. The thing rattled around, cracked and threw bits out of the sink, making Mik duck and gave Paw time to shut the machine off. The chip was, however, mangled as Mik had planned it to be. Useless.

Paw held it out at Mik like a people who had just found that their pet had made a foul mess of their favourite shirt. The Sidhe waggled it and Mik, sitting on the floor, hands at his sides, looked up at Paw passively.

“Lookit what you did,” Paw snapped at Mik.

Mik had made certain that Mari understood. And she seemed to. Souse had had a long discussion, in people, with Violet and several other ‘key’ members of the newly united tribe, about the computer and what to do with it. She had decided not to interrupt Souse’s plan to destroy the computer, as Sidhe should deal with Sidhe matters such as that and… Souse had a point.

Whatever fucking point that was, it was obviously lost on Mik.

But Mik wanted his Sidhe back.

Mik looked at the chip and looked at Paw, “Oh. I’m sorry. Did you need that?”

“Yes.” Paw said in a raised voice.

“Oppsles.”

“That’s not even a word!”

“Woopsles.”

Paw threw the chip at Mik and Mik batted it away effortlessly. It clattered across the kitchen floor and slid to a stop by the fridge. The two watched each other for a long, long moment.

“You are bad,” Paw said, jabbing a finger at Mik.

“No sex for Paw.”

“Excuse me? You cannot cut me off of sex. I cut you off of sex.”

“Mik going to take wallbanger into bathroom,” Mik stood and stretched his back, pushed his shoulders back as he had seen Hohi do when the male was throwing around attitude, “and please self. Or. Maybe Souse…”

“Don’t try that with me.”

“The Mik going to throw out wallbanger so Paw cannot use wallbanger on Mik for Paw’s own pleasure.”

“Fine. Go. Go on. Do it.”

Lillow slid into the kitchen and dumped whatever was in her mug on the remains of the computer. Paw glared at her and the girl opened a drawer as if Paw had done nothing at all and pulled out a matchbook.

Why… did the apartment have a matchbook? Mik managed the thought as Lillow struck a match and flicked it towards the computer. The entire thing, computer, chair and table went up in flames. Sprinklers went off, a sudden screaming, high pitched sound pierced the apartment and sent both Lillow and Paw to their knees. The water that rained from the ceiling put out the fire and then clicked off, their jobs being done.

The screaming alarm wailed for another moment before shutting off. Phone in the living room was ringing and Mik scrambled to his feet and to the living room. His ears were buzzing as he clicked it on.

“Hullo?”

“Why did your kitchen just go up in flames?” Mari asked, something in the background clicking away like… like an angry woman clicking through images…

“Lillow did it. Not so much with the getting my point across.”

“You are unhappy.”

“The sex hasn’t been good even, recently.”

“So beat him.”

“I am not going to-”

“Do something absolutely primal. What did he do to start changing you?”

Mik had no idea. All of it had just… happened and … Paw’s adorableness. “I don’t know.” he walked further into the living room and sighed, “I can’t figure this out. I mean… what can I do? He doesn’t listen to us, he doesn’t listen to Souse’s obviously blunt warning. He ignores the hierarchy and the… everything. He’s not Paw. He’s some walking, talking, freakish clone person and…”

He wished to the gods that Whisper could just have words with Paw, fix this.

“And I’m afraid that I’m going to lose him. I can’t love a people. I can’t… love what he’s becoming.”

The door to the apartment slammed shut and Mik sighed.

Sidhe hearing was good. Very good.

“I am terrible with love, let me talk with my sisters and get back to you on that.”

“What the… hell?”

“I am being serious, Mik, dumb as a doornail, my father used to say, on the matters of love and the heart. I still suggest beating him, but more because of the fact that Sidhe show dominance through physical means when other means go asunder.”

“I am not beating him. Put aside personal opinions on the matter, he can kick my ass while drunk and tied up.”

“Then… you will have to wait until I speak to my sisters.”

“I can’t afford a consultation with Illuens!”

Mari was silent for a long, long moment, “companies pay for Illuen. Government pay for Illuen. We do not charge the general public for such small questions. Give me a few days. Then we’ll talk about that.”
