Fresh fish!

They dig. We dig. He dig. She dig. You dig. I dig... see it´s not a good poem... but it´s quit deep.

A topic to @Ellery

Påklædning + udseende

Place: Near the water.
Weather: The sun is down but there is still hot outside.
Time: Night time... around 23.08

For the first time since he camed back... he was going to hunt. He was hungry as fuck... and no matter how much he tried to eat a bunch of food... It did not help. He needed a soul.
As he walk towards the water late at night he had no idea how or where. First of all... why did he go towards the water?? what did he expect? To get soul from a fish? Even if he could, he would never do it, since he was still a vegeterian at hear. He would never eat an animal... but now he had to kill living creatures. He sighed at the thought and looked down at the beer in his hand. Maybe this tool was the reason to he found himself down here by the water? He took another sip and emptied it easily. A bit confused, and still fucking hungry, he sat down on a bench and threw out the can of beer in the trash can near by.  
He laid down at the bench and stared up at the sky.
"It´s still bright outside... the time is late... and it´s still bright... the fuck weather gods... the fuck... or nature?" he mumbled for himself. When he heard something razzle near him, he immidiatly sat up and stud up on the bench.
After a few seconds, he realised he was standing on the bench and therefore jumped down to earth, easily and light weighted. He did admit as a demon there was a few perks. His strenght and agility. He felt like he could be a part of Assasin creed! Or maybe it was the tipsy brain talking.
Completely swallowed by his own thought, he forgot about the noices near him, to he heard them again and looked at their directions. "I have seen horror movies... so I ain´t gonna ask who´s there?" He looked down at the ground for a few seconds. Then he looked up again and lifted a finger. "Ignore the fact that I just said it!"

Ellery had just finished his run, and as usual, he cooled down by taking a walk at the fjord. Normally, no one was out at this time, unless they were hunting or moonlight lovers. But none the less, few feet from him, a blonde guy stood on top of one of the benches. He jumped down, and for a moment he seemed okay, until he actually started talking to himself about horror movies. Ellery chuckled lightly, as he moved closer. ''Horror movies, huh?'' he asked, with a slight chuckle in his voice. ''You know, sailors and drunk men are easy prey for the sirens living out here, right?'' he asked, jokingly, before he nodded at the blonde man.

''So, what are you doing out here?'' he then asked, his eyes reflecting the light violet color that seemed to emminate under his skin as well. Ellery was a tall man - a little bit over the 2 meters - with dark hair and a five-o'clock-shadow gracing his face. His eyes, now slightly violet and glowing, normally had a mmixture of different colors in them. Ellery hadn't hunted today, an to be fair; he was famished. Eating seafood was a great way for him to keep the hunger at bay, but sometimes he needed more, just to stay sane.
Dressed in a pair of sweats and a pair of sneakers, he walked a bit closer to the blonde man. He had no shirt on - his body slightly shiny from the sweat. ''I'm Ellery, by the way,'' he then said, reaching out his hand, in case the blonde man in front of him wanted to shake it.

Tidus looked a bit surprised as the source of the sound moved closer. It was none other than a man there looked like he just stepped out of a model catalog. Tidus shook his head. Where on earth did this dude come from? He looked down at himself and realized that he looked like a sack of potatoes next to this man.
“Uhm… sirens?” he looked up at the man and now tilted his head a bit. “They live at the ocean… don´t… they?” He looked out at the fjord. To be honest… he never considered that there could be sirens out here.
When the man asked him what he was doing out here, Tidus quickly searched for a reason to what he was doing out here… but the truth is… he didn´t have any good one. “I… went for a walk and somehow ended here…” he sighed and looked up at the man. Tall… why was he also so tall?
The man introduced himself and reached his hand out. With a tiny smile, Tidus decided to take it and shake. “Tidus.” He then let go of the hand and put his hand down in his hoodies pockets. “What about yourself? Are you just walking around out here and playing fanservice?” with a bit of a cheeky smile, he looked up at Ellery and then realized something.
Maybe he could eat the soul of this guy!? On the other hand… Tidus sighed. He made a deal with himself to only eat the soul of assholes… but… he couldn´t know for sure if this guy was an asshole. “Playing fanservice…” he mumbled to himself. “that´s not even a correct sentences.”

Ellery chuckled softly, as the man in front of him seemed to be a bit without clue to what sirens in reality was.
As he shook Ellery's hand and then released it, his hand returned to its former position. ''Fanservice?'' he said with a raised brow as he looked down at the blonde demon before him. ''Well, that's a first,'' he said, winking at him. ''I was out for a run,'' he then said, looking out over the waters of the fjord.

He understood quite well the young mans mumble, as Ellery slowly moved a hand through his hair, flexing his arm - and the tattoo of a feather - in the process.
He smiled a bit, while he then looked back at the young demon, tilting his head slightly to the right. ''Sirens live in the water, yes.'' he said, agreeing to his statement that sirens lived at the ocean. ''But I've been told that they wander the earth like humans, tempting their prey to follow them into the waters,'' he said, winking at the blonde demon. He chuckled slightly, putting his weight on the other leg, as he looked back out over the waters.

''Tell me, Tidus,'' he said, revealing his thick French accent to the demon, as he spoke his name. ''What is it to be a fanservice? I'm not sure I've met that word before.'' he said, scratching the stubbles on his cheek a bit, as the started to itch. Everything itched, to be fair. This human skin was almost always completely unbearable for the last couple of hours before he needed to return to the water.

Out for a run. Tidus nodded to that answer and looked just a bit down Ellery before looking away. He remembered all the times he went for a run… just to get into trouble every fucking time. Ahhh good times. For fuck sake… he needed to get home and get a nap. Or food. He needed a god damn soul!
The conversation about sirens was entertaining to listen to. They walked around like humans. This made Tidus look up at the guy an eyebrow highly lifted.
”You´re siren ain´t ya?” he said out of the blue. It was just a feeling the guy gave him. After all he was the one who started to talk about these cool sirens. The winking attitude made Tidus smile cheekily and look out on the water.
The cool French accent the guy now showed he had, made Tidus look a bit surprise up at him and just for a second, he thought it was his drunken brain their made it all up. A tiny and low giggle escaped Tidus lips when Ellery asked what fanservice ment.
“It means that you walk around, showing off that upperbody and looks like something that just stepped out of a Calvin Klein commercial,” was Tidus answer to fanservice. “All though… you have no audience around to show of your body… but still…” He made a funny little kick with his legs and looked at the fjord. “Do you think the water is cold??”

He laughed softly at the demon, as he seemed to finally take a hint. ”Of course I am a siren,” he then said, winking at the demon before he looked intensely at Tidus as he explained what a fan service was. ”a model?” he asked, slightly chuckling at it. He crossed his arms. ”is it here that I use the cliche of asking if you could draw me like one of your French girls?” he then asked, running his hand through his hair.

As tidus asked if the water was cold, Ellery smiled a crooked and yet daring smile. ”that depends,” he answered with a teasing voice. ”cold for swimming, fucking or drowning?” he asked, as it was the most natural three things to do in water. He then looked out over the waters again. ”it is cold enough for your package to shrink up, anyway” he then said, looking down at tidus’ groin. He smiled a crooked smile, as he had to admit that he wasn’t interested in men, sexually speaking. But since his brother had decided to start messing with Kenna, why shouldn’t Ellery be able to have some fun himself?it wasn’t like they were an item... they had no label, and therefore no boundaries... he felt foul for thinking that, but he was so angry with his brother, and so hurt that Kenna hadn’t noticed the shift, that he wasn’t thinking straight.

”How come you say that I have no audience? You’re here!” he then said, winking at him again. Surely, he wasn’t going to hit on the demon, but it was fun from time to time to mix things up. He wasn’t going to play mister nice guy right now; he was too frustrated to do that.

The little titanic reference made Tidus laugh a bit and roll his eyes. Although he couldn’t stay silent. How could he stay silent with a comment like that?
“Oh yeah sure, just lay down on the bench, let me get my pen and paper and then we are flying,” he answered with a little smirk.
He did not believe Ellery answer if the water was cold. Especially not with those words! He looked a bit surprised up at the siren, just in time to notice the way he looked down at Tidus, which made Tidus look down at himself too. Quickly he looked up at Ellery again. His scar eyebrow lifted a bit high. “Hey buddy… eyes up here.” Tidus here pointed here at his eye whiled he laughed a bit. “And for drowning… I ment for drowning.” He started to walk towards water before turning the other way around. “So… mr. fanservice, as you´re only audience, I offer you up on a beer.” Here he looked around. “If I had any idea where we could by one.”
All of sudden his stomach growled inside him. He sighed. “Okay… maybe this a random question… but do you know any places where I could find an asshole and eat him/her?”
Drunk and clearly confused, he looked up at the tall siren and expected the man to walk away. He probably should tho… It was not a good idea to be around Tidus right now.

Ellery just simply laugh mildly by the demons little comment about drawing. At least the man wasn't completely without humor.
What seemed to be or less an innocent joke about the demons package seemed to evolve into something a bit more erotic, as the demon had caught on to the fact that Ellery had checked out the groin of the slightly shorter demon. He winked at his, as their eyes met again. ''I take it that you prefer my mouth there instead of my eyes,'' he then said, with a slight tug on one shoulder, as he looked at the demon walking closer to the water. He had a crooked smile, resembling a smirk, stretched across his lips.

''I'll gladly accept that offer, mr. Tidus,'' Ellery said, winking at his as he called him a fanservice still. ''I'll show you the way to a local pub, if that is what you fancy?'' he suggested, but then he noticed the growling of the poor demons stomach. ''Oh dear,'' Ellery said, looking surprised at Tidus. ''I take it that you haven't had dinner yet?'' Ellery guessed, as Tidus had asked him if he knew a place to find an asshole. ''To be honest, I only just moved here not too long ago,'' he then said, crossing his arms. ''I wouldn't know any other assholes than my brother, and that would be... Well, not ideal,'' he said, with a slight chuckle in his voice.

''Regarding that beer, though,'' he said, smiling friendly at the demon, ''I think it is for the better if I return home to put on a shirt before I enter any establishment,'' he said, chuckling slightly as he stretched his arms towards the sky, letting his sweats glide down ever so slightly, so they rested on his hipbones, and threathened to leave the sirens body if he didn't pull them up.

It weren’t a little saying that Tidus haven’t experienced a whole bunch of different people and their weird ways of comebacks. But this... this one kinda put icing on the cake.
Tidus couldn’t hide a surprised look on his face. A little surprised look that quickly turned into a smirk. These words could bring him out in trouble... maybe even get the siren annoyed, but as always, Tidus didn’t think before he spoke.
“I’m pretty sure your mouth would have no idea what to do down there.”
He looked at the siren, sending him a cheeky smile and then turned his back towards the man. That should be enough. Drunk or not. Tidus couldn’t stay silent to a comment like that.
Mr. Tidus. Tidus turned around again.
This on the other hand, made Tidus laugh and take of his beanie, putting it to his own chest and bowed down. His blonde hair was messy and everywhere. “Oh mr. Fanservice, how I do appreciate that you did not decline my offer on a beer!” He stopped his bowing and putted back on his hat. Teasingly as always he winked at the siren.
“But you’re right... you probably shouldn’t walk to a pub like that. And it’s probably not a good idea that I eat your brother... although if he is an asshole.” In jokingly matters, Tidus poked on his cheeks and looked thoughtful out into the air. Here he then chuckled and looked at Ellery again. “What do you say about that we meet and the pub closes by in an hour or so? Then you could get dressed and I could find something to eat?”
This time there was actually nothing teasing to find on Tidus face. It was an serious offer.
Ellery just went for a run and there was nothing better to end a run, but with a beer!
Curiously, he now waited for the siren to answer him. If he declined, then Tidus would be a bit disappointed, but also understanding. After all, Tidus was a stranger to Ellery and one that ate souls!

As Ellery noticed the surprised look on the demons’ face, he smiled a teasing smile. Maybe Nathaniel would thank him later for being a wingman - maybe not. When the look turned into a smirk, Ellery could already tell that Tidus had a reply in mind. The reply, however, made Ellery laugh a bit. It wasn’t offensive in any way, it was just funny. ‘’To expect such a situation, you must have had some terrible blows,’’ he then said, winking at him before he looked shortly out over the waters.
As Tidus laughed, pulled of his beanie and bowed to Ellery, his words were said in fun but the turned into mocking of Ellery. Instead of getting frustrated, he played it off as being because the demon was drunk. Perhaps he should just drag him to the water now and have some dinner himself? - no, the man had invited him for a beer, and he needed that; or… Nathaniel needed that. As Tidus put the hat back on, and agreed with Ellery that he needed some clothes, he smiled yet again.

‘’That sounds like a plan,’’ he said, as Tidus had suggested an hour delay on the beer so Ellery could get dressed, and Tidus could get a meal. He looked at Tidus shortly, before he looked in the direction of his house. ‘’An hour, mr. Tidus,’’ he said, winking at him, before he walked back up to the trail of cobbled stone. He started his trip back home with a run, and within seconds, he had disappeared between the wall separating the fjord from the city, and the buildings on the other side.

On the trip home, Nathaniel decided to finally be a bit more insistent. *So, what are we going to wear!?* he asked, a bit excited about the fact that Ellery went out with a guy. ‘’We are not going to wear anything,’’ Ellery answered, and he could feel the confusion of his brother seep into his body. ‘’Relax, he’s all yours!’’ Ellery said, his voice a bit annoyed. He wasn’t really in the mood to let Nathaniel take over, but they had agreed to him having some more time in the body, and then he would leave Ellery and Kenna alone whenever they asked. ‘’Just… Don’t let me wake up and walking funny!’’ Ellery sighed as they entered the house on the beach and Nathaniel just laughed. *I never receive, dear brother. That would be cruel to let you wake up to,* Nathaniel answered, before Ellery just nodded.

It took less than twenty minutes to get ready; he put on some jeans on, a shirt and a jacket. He styled his hair slightly, brushed his teeth and slipped into his boots, before he wrote a note to Kenna, saying that he had gone out with a friend and he didn’t know when he would return. After that, Nathaniel - who had taken over the body quite seamlessly - stepped out of the house, and began walking back to where Ellery had met the blonde demon. As he reached the destination, he pulled out his phone to look up nearest pubs, so he could navigate himself to one of them. It didn’t take long to find one, and with ease, he moved towards it, keeping an eye out for the blond demon in the baggy clothes.

when Tidus was left alone he nodded to himself, went away and did hos best to find that one soul, so he no longer would be hungry. And when he finally did find the soul, it didn´t go that perfect. The man struggled, got a few hit in and Tidus was now just even more tired. But it happened, the man now laid on the cold ground, dead and cold. Soul empty. Tidus looked at the corpse, before putting a hand on his stomach and sighs. At least he werent hungry anymore. He snorted annoyed, dried away the blod from his lip and started to go to the bar. He was still supposed to meet the fan serviced blessed siren.
After the little fight with the demon, his big grey shirt was a bit ruined, but he still walked in on the bar. He ignorered all the eyes that would lay on him. Right now he was searching for the siren. And he found him... dressed nicely and still stepped out of a magazine.
"I hope you didn´t wait here for long," he said behind the sirens back. Exhausted, Tidus sat on the bars chair and ordered them a beer. "It was NOT easy to find a soul... I will tell you that!" he laughed and took a big sip of the beer. "So... Ellery... do to your accent you´re not from England right?" He looked at Ellery with a cheeky smile.
although he was actually interested in where Ellery was from.

As he entered the pub, eyes met him immediately. He didn’t mind it; he was a siren after all. In a smooth motion, he moved up to the bar, and sat down on a bar stool. He ordered a whiskey, waiting for the blonde demon to arrive, while he looked at his phone. There were no texts regarding him - only his brother. He knew that it would be like that, it always was. The only one that could even think about texting Nathaniel instead of Ellery was Kenna, and they weren’t on good terms. As he finally heard the voice of the demon beside him, he smiled a cheeky smile. ‘’I thought you said one hour?’’ he said, teasingly. He liked to be a bit of a jerk at times, but never to someone knew. If they didn’t know his humor, it could be received like he was cruel, and he didn’t want that; not with this blonde beauty, at least.

Quite calm, as Tidus took a seat next to him, he looked at the blonde demon. It wasn’t the same, looking through Ellery’s eyes. Seeing the demon for himself had him dumbfounded. How did his brother stumble upon this gem, out on a run? It seemed weird, but at least he had given Nathaniel a possibility to have some fun too. That was rare. ‘’You just need to hit up the south side,’’ he said, emptying his whiskey in a quick motion, as Tidus took a sip of his beer. At least he kept his offer, of buying him a beer. That wasn’t the normal behavior for the semi-drunk men he had met. Maybe Ellery did find the needles in the haystacks, after all. ''The south side has all the jerks and criminals,'' he said, winking at Tidus. ''Almost, that is,''.

He knew that Tidus expected him to be his brother. Just the fact that he used his name make him want to admit that he was in fact his twin. But did it matter? It wasn’t for the personality he had offered him a beer; it was because he was a fanservice, as he had said earlier. That didn’t change from brother to brother. ‘’No,’’ he admitted, winking at him. He smiled a little charming smile, before he took a sip of his beer. ‘’I’m from Combe,’’ he then said. He looked at the bartender, as even he had a confused look on his face. He then looked back at Tidus with the same charming smile. ‘’It is in France,’’ he then said, lying a tiny bit. Combe had not existed in the past close to 700 years. The village was turned to a mass graveyard, back when the plague hit the first time, in the mid 1300’s.

Teasingly Ellery joked about Tidus being late. Which just made Tidus click his tongue and take a sip of the beer. “Well… apparently my victim wasn’t the best at keeping a time schedule.” It was clear to Tidus that Ellery was teasing him. Therefore, he didn’t take it personally.
“So… south side is filled with assholes? Great… now I know where my next meal will be headed,” Tidus answered and looked a bit teasingly at Ellery. “But… then again… you´re saying almost… why? Is your so-called brother from the south side?” He had no idea where he was going with these questions. His mouth just opened before his brain could register it.
That charming smile Ellery send Tidus, made the blonde almost choke his beer, which made him put his hand up to his mouth. Maybe he should not drink anymore. He had a tendency to end up sleeping in bushes when he drank to much. He looked at Ellery questionable. The blonde could only hope that this siren would not choose him as his next meal. But how did a siren even eat? Was it like a shark? Or do they eat meat at all?
When Ellery answered where he was from, Tidus immediately forgot about his other thoughts, and now tried to imagine Combe in his head. “France… yeah, of course!... but what on earth are you doing here then? Why would anyone leave France?? They do have the baguettes after all.” Once again Tidus took a sip from his beer. Here he noticed the confused look on the bartender’s face. “What? Never heard of France before?” He asked the bartender in shook and not provoking… even though it could sound a bit provoking.

Nathaniel couldn’t help but smiling a bit by the fact that Tidus seemed to under the impression that Nathaniel himself would be a real asshole. ‘’Well, don’t schedule a dinner date this late then,’’ he suggested, rather sarcastically. ‘’Maybe you should consider just buying souls on the black market as the rest of us?’’ he joked, winking at the demon. As they talked about the South Side, he understood that Ellery hadn’t been talking nicely about him. ‘’Well, I just don’t think that you’re an ass just because you rummage the South Side. What my brother does, is his own headache,’’ he said, taking a sip of his beverage.

As he seemed to be very interested in France, Nathaniel couldn’t help but chuckle slightly. ‘’Oh, I needed a change of scenery,’’ he said, winking at Tidus yet again. ‘’Even France didn’t have the most handsome man I’ve ever seen,’’ he then said, looking at Tidus with those multicolored eyes. He could, if he wanted to, lure him in. however, he wanted for the demon to be interested on his own accord. ‘’I needed to see if Gaia had better options,’’ he said, taking yet another sip of his beverage.
‘’Leave the man alone, dear Tidus!’’ Nathaniel chuckled, as the bartender moved away slowly, with his hands in the air. ‘’What about you? You aren’t from Great Britain, are you?’’ he asked, to make the demon tell more about himself.

Tidus chuckled heart fully. “Hey hey... don’t use my own sarcasm against me. I’m fluently in sarcasm... it’s ma birth language... but seriously tho...” he then leaned a bit in and said lowly. “Is it possible to buy souls on the black market?”
This whole eating soul thing was new for him. So maybe it was like a drug industry. Maybe you could buy souls on bottles? What the hell did Tidus know? He shortly looked around with the blue eyes, who shined a bit up in the dark and then back at Ellery. Or Nath. “In that case... where could I get some?”
Right now Tidus treated Nath like he was some kind of drug dealer.
The comment on the brother and south side, made Tidus nod and then move a bit away. “True... you shouldn’t be judged on where you come from.”
As he was about to take another sip of his beer, he realised it was empty and sighed a bit. He always emptied them so fast.
For some reason, didn’t Tidus notice the winking and rather flirty comment fro Nath. Like something in the blonde heads screamed: he would never flirt with you.
“Oh! In that case... Gaia is the right place,” said Tidus lightly and with a smile. “Here lives a whole bunch of handsome men! You’ll see that you fit right in. And of course might find the most handsome one you’ll ever see..” Here it was Tidus time to wink.
When the bartender moved away, Tidus poured a bit and looked at his empty beer. “Awh... but it’s empty!” If he leaves the man alone, he would never get a new beer. As Nath asked about Tidus, the blondes heart started to pound a bit faster than usually. He hated talking about himself...
“Nope... or yes... I lived here for many years, but I was actually raised in Japan until I was 13... which is why I have no gorgeous British accent.”
When Tidus spoke, he did sound a bit more American. He never caught the accent and would hate to fake it... he enjoyed to listen to others instead!
“So... as a siren... do you eat meat? As in human meat??” He looked interested up at Nath.

Nathaniel looked at the demon with a crooked smile, as he tried to exclaim that sarcasm was his territory. ‘’Geez, chill!’’ he chuckled at Tidus before he leaned closer to the demon as Tidus did the same. ‘’There’s a black market for the souls, and the people that comes with them. It’s called slavery, my dear Tidus,’’ he said, winking at him. Once upon a time, Nathaniel had lost a bet with a man, and as a result, both him and Ellery - since they shared bodies - was sold as a slave. It was centuries past, but he still understood the negative impact slavery had on the world. ‘’If you need something to eat, I could set you up with a supplier? You’ll still need to kill the poor bastards, but you wouldn’t have to deal with the decision on if they deserve it or not. Most of the time, it is voluntary.’’ He said, taking a sip of his beer, before ordering both of them another one.

‘’I might already have found him; but with all of those baggy clothes he wears, I’m not quite sure yet,’’ he exclaimed, winking at the poor demon. ‘’British accent? Should that be considered gorgeous? Then what about the French?’’ he asked, with an enticing smile. He knew he was speaking with a thick French accent, so it was obvious that he wanted Tidus to comment his own accent. ‘’But Japan? That must have been… An experience,’’ he said, with a slight chuckle. He had not been to Japan himself, but all he knew about the place was geishas, anime and neckbeard-men.

As they two new beers arrived, he turned slightly, facing Tidus dead on. ‘’Tell me, are you always this curious, Tidus? - or are you just scared that I might want to eat you?’’ he asked, a bit cheeky, before he emptied his first beer, making way to the second one he had ordered, while passing the other new beer to Tidus.

“Slavery!?” it came out as a big surprise for Tidus. “Na ah.” Tidus shook his head and although it was a bit of a serious topic, he giggled a little and drove a hand up to his head to remove the beanie. “Thanks, but no thanks, I would rather go kill some bastard myself instead of supporting slavery.” He smiled shortly at Nath. A smile that just got bigger as the siren ordered them new beers.

Again. Tidus didn´t quit catch the flirty comment towards him. Instead he started to look a bit around, to see if he could find this handsome man in baggy clothes. Buuuuut as he slowly realized it, he looked over at Ellery with a high lifted eyebrow and couldn´t help but blush a little. Maybe he was overthinking. Like always. “Maybe the baggy clothes are the only thing that fits him.”
That was it. That was his comeback. He was getting out of shape… He sighed over himself and laughed afterwards. Luckily, they talked about accents right now. And Clearly the siren wished for Tidus to comment on the France accent. This made Tidus look cheekily at the siren once again. “Well… I would say that a France accent isn’t bad either and it´s actually rather special.” Flirtatious he winked at the siren.
The comment on Japan made Tidus laugh a bit louder. “You say that with a chuckle… I can already see what Japan is to you in your mind… but yes… it was an experience and a culture shock when I was removed back to England!”
When the new beer turned up, Tidus face lighted up like Christmas lights. He quickly took a sip of it as it was passed to him. “I´m always this curious… ask anyone.” He placed the beer down again.
“And yeah… I wouldn’t say I´m scared that you might eat me… I have talked casually with a lot of other predators... sooo… nah…” he smiled at Ellery. “I´m just a very curious person…” he took a sip of the beer. “Curiosity killed the cat… but luckily I´m not a cat.” Here he looked over at Ellery and winked.

Nathaniel understood the demon’s reaction to the suggestion. He wasn’t going to accept slavery, which was a good thing. Then there was no legit reason for the demon to dump Nathaniel because he had a slave he could fuck around with instead. ‘’Then, might I suggest hunting - real hunting. Not whatever you call this fuckery,’’ he said, winking at the poor demon. He was sure he wouldn’t understand, but Tidus seemed like a man capable to do some serious damage if he wanted to. He was surely no old demon; a created demon, more likely.

‘’Maybe my sheets would fit even better?’’ Nathaniel suggested, winking at the demon once again. ‘’Your comebacks are getting weak. Do you need something stronger?’’ he asked, nodding at the beer. Quite calm, he ordered two rounds of mixed shots for them, which the bartender started on lining up after he had passed them their second round of beers. ‘’French accent sounds prudish, I’ll admit,’’ he chuckled before raising his beer to toast with the siren.

‘’Actually, I can see you in Japan. A handsome Caucasian man with ocean eyes and sun-kissed golden hair,’’ he said, with a little shrug. ‘’You must have been a merveilleux to the locals,’’ he said, with a crooked smile, before he took a sip more of his beer. ‘’Curiosity is the source to knowledge,’’ he then said, when Tidus used the old saying about a killed cat. It was an outdated cliché. ‘’and for the record; I’ll just might want to eat you… Or, at least, taste you,’’ he said, with another shrug of the shoulders. He wasn’t going to go into details. He was already being a bit to lose in his way of flirting, since Tidus was so dense that he didn’t seem to get it.

As the two rounds of shots was placed at their spot on the bar, he looked daring at Tidus. ‘’So, one question per shot? You go first. Ask a question and drink your shot. I’ll answer, then ask another and drink to that. Deal?’’

Hunting. Real hunting. This made Tidus look interested at Ellery. “What do you mean? Real hunting?” Although the siren was winking and probably ment It as a joke, Tidus really wanted to know what he ment by that. If Tidus weren’t real hunting, then what on earth was he doing? “Should I go totally the hunger games on them?”

The comment on maybe Ellerys sheet would fit Tidus better, made the young demon roll his eyes and then take a sip of his beer. Even though his cheeks got a bit redder and he couldn’t help but laugh a little. “Your sheets… my comebacks are getting weak and your flirting skills is getting silly… we both need something stronger.” Tidus here made a face that gave him big eyes, like he was trying to indicate that they really needed some stronger alcohol. After he laughed lowly and shook his head. He looked at the shots that was poured of for them.
“Prudish… what a funny word,” Tidus said and cheered the beer with Ellery.

Ellerys imagine of Tidus in Japan made the young demon and choke his beer. Here he laughed and covered his mouth with his hand. “Well uhm… I was a really puny and not very attractive teenager soooo… Uhmm…” he still couldn’t stop laughing. “and what on earth is Caucasian and merveilleux?” Luckily, he had placed the beer back on the table, so he did not drop it when Ellery talked about tasting him. As always when he got a bit nervous, he said the first thing on his mind, which ended up being: “You don´t wanna do that… I taste weird.” When he realized his words, he could have slapped himself in the head! He was blushing his head off. “Please forget I just said that!”

When the shots were placed and the game begun, Tidus smirked and nodded at Ellery. “Deal!”
Here he picked up a shot and thought about a question. “Do you always goes for run with a naked upperbody?” He looked teasingly at the siren and then took the shot. It was a strong one. He made a funny face and shook his head.

Nathaniel almost laughed at the poor demon, as he didn’t seem to know what hunting really was. Perhaps he thought that drinking and hunting under the influence was the best way to do it. Nathaniel would have to teach him otherwise. Funny how a siren and a demon seemed to be on different ends of the spectrum; he enjoyed the hunt, while Tidus seemed to dread it. Each to their own.

As Tidus tried to make a comeback on Nathaniel pointing out his weak comebacks, Nathaniel just shook his head. ‘’My flirting just seems silly because I need to make it clear to you. I could just kiss you and get that part over with, but I’m sure you would slap me for the indiscression.’’ Nathaniel said, before he took another sit of his beer. He understood that Tidus seemed to be in the need of making comments to hide when he was uncomfortable with a situation. A shame really. Tidus seemed like he was a really nice guy, underneath the comebacks.
He ignored the fact that Tidus meant it was a funny word; Prudish. It was a word like any other. It wasn’t a pun or the incredibly long work from Mary Poppins. He was sure it was because Tidus seemed to be a bit drunk already, that he found the word amusing.

‘’Trust me, ever ugly duckling seems to be a gorgeous swan,’’ he then said, as Tidus tried to underplay his looks as a teen. With a crooked smile, he listened as Tidus asked about the two words he didn’t seem to know. ‘’Caucasian means you’re white. And merveilleux means that,’’ he took a break, taking a sip of his beer yet again; prolonging the intensity of his statement. ‘’It means you’re a marvel. A wonder, so to speak. Or, to some, very gorgeous.’’ He said, a bit nonchalant, before he looked at the shots. The game had started.

The question seemed rather simple and yet somehow, Nathaniel seemed to let out a chuckle, followed by an enticing smirk. ‘’Yes,’’ he answered, quite simple. He didn’t care to run with a shirt on, as he wasn’t really ashamed about his body. ‘’But only when the weather allows it. If not, I’m not out running,’’ he explained, before reaching for a shot and holding the tiny glass between two fingers. ‘’Why do you feel like you need to talk yourself down?’’ he asked, raising an eyebrow. It was true, Tidus seemed to talk himself down all the time. Either he wasn’t at all interested in Nathaniel, or he was of the perception that he wasn’t allowed to speak highly of himself at all.
‘’It seems like whenever I try to give you a compliment, you throw it back at me.’’ He then clarified, before he downed his shot without a single miniscule reaction to his face. He had done this for centuries; he was used to it.

If the stranger Ellery already had put his lips on Tidus, then yes, he would probably have slapped him… and then again. He might have pulled away fast, look surprise at the attractive siren and then fall of the bar chair like an idiot. Because… yeah. He was a clumsy ass motherfucker. “Naaaah… who knows…” he just ended up saying. But yeah. Tidus was maybe a bit blunt in the beginning that Ellery was flirting. Again… in his head Ellery would never flirt with him. But now… he did seem a bit silly next to the siren. More than he already did in his baggy clothes.
Normally would people probably fall at Ellery´s feet. Do everything for him… men and women. Especially if he ran around and called them a beautiful swan. He shook his head as Ellery explained the words. They were sweet… He should have said thank you… but… for some reason he just couldn´t. Instead he just laughed and kept continuing shaking his head. Like he didn´t believe any word Ellery was saying.
Idiot… that was the only word to describe Tidus.

Luckily, they were distracted by other stuff now. A drinking game. So, every time Ellery went for a run, he would do it with a naked upper body, so he could make the rest of the audience droll. He laughed at that thought. Although it seemed he didn´t went for run when the weather was shitty or cold.
Just as Tidus thought they could stop talking about him, Ellery turned the question back to why he had the need to talk himself down. “I….” he sighed again and looked away. What on earth should he answer to that?
1. I don´t want compliments, because I do not believe in them.
2. I am told I look like my father, so compliments are compliments to my father.
3. I´m a big ass mess.
Which one should he choose?
He here looked at Ellery, bit his lip nervously and then scratched his neck. “Is the answer that I´m a bit messy good enough?” He laughed nervously. “I really don´t know what to answer… I never been good at accepting compliments.”
Here he picked up another shot. “Do you throw those pickup lines out often? My question is… am I just lucky to get your attention or do you do this often?” when he was done explaining, he took a shot and made a funny face again. He smiled cheekily at Ellery.

Nathaniel chuckled slightly at the demon’s response. Who knew? Was that supposed to be an open invitation to kiss him and find out? No, it surely couldn’t be, as Tidus already seemed a bit perplexed by the fact that Nathaniel could find him attractive. ‘’You know,’’ he pointed out, winking at him. ‘’Or am I just that handsome, that you don’t know what your body would do if I chose to kiss you right here and now?’’ he asked, with a cheeky grin. He knew that Tidus was no fan of talking about himself, but he was already on the verge of being drunk; now was the best time to ask him.

It seemed like the drinking game had been a good idea, since it forced Tidus to answer him. Though, the answer was somewhat lackluster; he wasn’t good at compliments. Nathaniel looked at the demon, unable to understand why Tidus couldn’t accept a simple compliment. He was handsome, sweet, funny and a bit of a flirt. Why couldn’t he accept others thinking that of him and expressing it?
The next question made him chuckle slightly, as he took a sip of his beer. ‘’Well, Tidus,’’ he said, with a crooked smile, ‘’I can’t say that it is often that I’m agreeing to having a drink with a stranger,’’ he said, winking at Tidus. ‘’But I prefer to believe that when I do, that person won’t be a stranger for much longer. And my pickup lines are reserved for those I actually want to pick up,’’ he said, with a cheeky smile.

He then grabbed a shot too, licking his lips slightly as he thought of his next question. ‘’Okay, here goes nothing,’’ he said, looking a bit hesitant at Tidus. ‘’What are the chances of getting your number tonight?’’ he then asked, before he downed the shot, and grabbed his beer yet again, to remove the horrible taste of the shot. It was something way to sweet for his taste.

Tidus chuckled here and made a clicking sound with his tongue. “Ohohoho… you better step down from those clouds fanservice.” He sipped of his beer and looked challenging at the siren. “That is not what I ment… and by the way If you kissed me…” here Tidus leaned in teasingly. “You would never be able to forget about my lips again.” Shortly he looked down at the siren’s lips, before moving away and finish his beer.
He was kidding. Teasing as always. They were both drunk, so why no just play along and keep joking with each other. Relaxed in his seat, Tidus looked around, only to find the looks of an older man looking their way. He quickly looked back at Ellerys as their game continued.
The answer was a bit unexpected for Tidus, but still kind of amusing, which made him chuckle and looks a bit more focused on the siren. The next question was already flying from Ellery’s mouth, but before Tidus could answer the kind of forward question, the man from before walked up behind Ellery.
“Someone as gorgeous as you are wasting your time with the kid,” he whispered seducingly in Ellery’s ear. With a smug on his big bearded face, he looked over at Tidus and then at Ellery again. “So… come with me instead.”
Tidus rolled his eyes, but for some reason, he couldn’t stop smuggling a bit behind his shot glas. He was now kind of curious to see how Ellery would react.

Somehow, Nathaniel got the feeling that Tidus actually wanted Nathaniel to kiss him. ‘’What if I didn’t want to forget them?’’ he asked, with a raised brow. True, he was a bit offensive. Maybe he should lay off on the flirt, so that the poor demon could catch a break instead of having to fend off Nathaniel’s attempts on hooking up with him. He took a sip of his beer, as Tidus looked around. They continued the game, and it was Nathaniel’s turn to ask. While it seemed like the demon was about to agreeing on letting Nathaniel have his number, they were interrupted quite rudely by a man in what appeared to be the thirties. Though quite handsome, he lacked on the charm - and by his words, Nathaniel judged him as simply an asshole. ‘’Oh,’’ Nathaniel said, with a surprised tone in his voice. His eyes met Tidus’ for a brief moment, before he looked at the man. ‘’I’m afraid that you’ve got the wrong impression,’’ he then said as he got up from his seat. Nathaniel was a great deal taller than the man. He looked at the man, giving him a quite displeased look. He turned to Tidus, removed the glass from the demon’s fingers and placed a finger under his chin. He lifted Tidus’ face, shortly making eye contact, before Nathaniel kissed him in a gently and without any force. Tidus could remove him without any trouble, if he chose to.

Nathaniel released Tidus’ chin, ending the kiss and turned to face the man once again, licking his lower lip with the tip of his tongue. ‘’I’m not interested in assholes,’’ he stated, with a crooked grin on his face. He then moved closer to the man, their chests almost touching. ‘’Scram,’’ he whispered, as he put a finger on the mans chest, moving him away from where Nathaniel and Tidus were sitting. ‘’How rude,’’ Nathaniel sighed, as he returned to his seat, looking at Tidus with a cheeky grin. ‘’So, your number?’’.

Instead of accepting the strange, but kind of handsome man´s flirting, Ellery got up from his seat. For a minute Tidus he was going to punch the shit out of the man. He lifted his scared eyebrow and looked from Ellery to the man. It was funny to see how Ellery towered over the strange man. The man on the other hand, still had his smug on his lips as Ellery got up. He looked down at him like he was a piece of meat to eat. Even when the man discovered the displeased look on Ells face, he still had that stupid smug on his face, like nothing could remove it.
As Ellery walked over to Tidus, the demon looked a bit surprised up at the siren, now only to be removed his shot glass. Before Tidus even got to ask what on earth he was doing, the siren took a hold off his chin and pressed their lips together. Tidus opened his eyes in shock. The blood rise to his head and he was like frozen underneath the kiss. But… it felt kinda nice… actually. His lips were soft.
Before he even got to kiss him back or find his head, the siren had pulled away and had his focus on the strange man again. Still a bit puzzled, Tidus touched his lips slightly with his fingertips. He quickly shook his head and looked over at the man. Even with Ellery being a bit Hostile, the man stilled stood near them. He even smugly tilted his head.
Tidus cheeks were now redder than ever. “What on… shit biscuits was that… COULD YOU FUCK OFF!” The last words were clearly not towards Ellery. All of Tidus attention was now turned towards the strange man.
The strange man chuckled. “So hostile both of you… But then again… I like a challenge…” he looked from Tidus to Ellery. “What do you say?”
“No.” Tidus said cold. “Never. Donald trump had to come here and officially make me do it before I would even consider it.”
