Talks, trouble and tequila. Minus the tequila. - For Isaac

[vexatiously]

Life had turned upside down again. The last time it had brought him Isaac and Darcy. Now it had let him keep them. So long as that was the case, the rest he could work with. The house was beautiful, and familiar to Isaac, and they seemed to not be the only ones that came through whatever had happened.

Yet a change in residence didn't mean that Vex knew he and Isaac still had a talk to finish. One where, yeah, Isaac swore he loved him and his past didn't change that, but Vex had seen the look in his puppy's eyes, and he knew they needed to talk. More.

And maybe he needed to feed, but he would let them get through talking first. He needed to talk about it all with Isaac and make sure it really was okay.

So he grabbed a couple of beers out of the fridge and sought out Isaac.

Keep the candle burning (Derek will kill me in my sleep for this title)

[destabilised]

He'd parked a few miles outside the town, leaving his car in the woods, running the rest of the way, although he stopped out of sight of the party that was gathering around the bonfire. The party itself was technically only meant for students from the local high school, but one more wouldn't be noticed.

Of course considering how small the town was, he'd probably stand out like a sore thumb, especially considering he wasn't exactly unknown. The main point being to be avoid the town proper. He'd even managed to duck out on Peter which was a feat all of it's own.


And he'd answer for it. That was something to deal with later though because at the moment, he didn't much give a damn. The woods were outside Lockwood territory as far as he knew so it was safe enough for him.

And he hadn't actually committed to showing up so it'd be a surprise anyway. At least until he got into scent range. Derek's lips quirked slightly before he started towards the flames he could see through the trees.

It looked like the party was in full swing already.
