Right here, right now

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi really should have known better than to go to a Noah for a job.

Having found himself as a sudden personal assistant to Tyki Mikk of all people...He's not sure how to feel about that. And that meant having to suddenly lose his apartment since Tyki thought it'd be best to keep him close at all times. Lavi cursed himself one too many times for not using the spell his grandfather had taught him to hide his omega status.

The last thing he needed was for an alpha.

Although, he will admit that working for Tyki isn't that bad. Even if he would get bombarded by the man's niece who likes to come and go in their suddenly shared apartment just to bother him. Or Tyki. Or both.

Damn Road.

Lavi releases a groan as he collapses onto the couch, arms stretching above his head as he finally lets himself relax. It had been much too long since he got the chance to lay down and do nothing, free from any strange activities Tyki wanted him to do.]

[ateaseofpleasure]

Am I working you too hard?

[ The question comes in an amused tone of voice as Tyki suddenly appears out of nowhere to lean over the back of the couch and smile down at the omega sprawled in a boneless heap on his couch. Having shed his tie and suit jacket upon arriving home, he's dressed in just his dress slacks and a button-up shirt at the moment, although even the shirt has had the first few buttons undone to add to the air of casual relaxation, almost rumpled. ]

[Lavi doesn't even jump at his presence, forcing his eye open in order to look at the alpha.

He huffs at him.]

Remind me again why you thought it was a good idea to hire me? [The pay is good. The living accommodation is better. Lavi misses his loft sometimes, though.

He just sighs and keeps himself relaxed.]

[ateaseofpleasure]

[ Tyki just looks amused at this question, reaching down to lightly tug at a stray lock of bright red hair. ]

Why, Lavi. Have I given you the impression that I have found your work to be anything but satisfactory?

[lostinshadows]

[He reaching up, swatting his hand away.]

I have no desire to run into any of your family members next time I have to do something for you. Cyril's just plain creepy.

[ateaseofpleasure]

[ That gives Tyki pause, because he knows his siblings can be, on occasion, problematic. Gaze narrowing, he stares down at the omega before reaching out to catch his hand as he swats at Tyki. ]

Did he do something to you?

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi pauses before he shakes his head.]

Just Cyril being Cyril.

[In other words, older brother does not approve of younger brother's choice in omega. Lavi's too much of a fighter, not to mention how his grandfather is not well liked by the Noah in general.]

Nothing too bad.

[ateaseofpleasure]

But it was still enough to bother you.

[ That's easy to see. ]

I'll speak to him. He won't bother you again.

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi eyes him before sighing.]

Just so long as you two don't end up fighting, I guess.

[ateaseofpleasure]

That will be up to him. [ Tyki doesn't seem too bothered by the possibility. But he does give Lavi a curious glance. ]

What was it that bothered you so?

[lostinshadows]

I didn't take too kindly of being called a 'bitch' and I may have punched him.

[He hardly looks apologetic, though.]

[ateaseofpleasure]

Good. He probably completely deserved it.

[ Since he still has a hold of Lavi's wrist, he gives a light tug, drawing him upwards and closer to him. ]

He called you a bitch?

[lostinshadows]

[Oh.

That has Lavi moving up to his knees, looking faintly annoyed.]

He was trying to get under my skin. Sort of succeeded when I punched him. [He shrugs.] Not sorry if he complains to you about it.

[ateaseofpleasure]

[ Tyki reaches out to slide his fingers along Lavi's chin, turning him back to face him. ]

It sounds as if he succeeded, after all.

[lostinshadows]

It's nothing, Tyki.

[He waves it off.]

I'm surprised you're home early.

[ateaseofpleasure]

It's not nothing if he succeeded in upsetting you.

[ Lavi had seemed fairly impervious to most of Tyki's family so far, so this was a bit of a surprise. ]

We have a long weekend. I thought we could get out of the city for a while.

[lostinshadows]

I'm dealing with a bit of omega hormones. He caught me at a bad time.

[He really hates being an omega. He had spent a majority of his life pretending he isn't one. Cyril just really caught him at a bad time.

Lavi tilts his head.]

Where?

[ateaseofpleasure]

[ One arm snakes out to twine around Lavi's waist and a moment later he's being tugged against the Alpha's solid chest. ]

Problems, Lavi?

I hadn't decided yet. Is there somewhere you would like to go? Someplace you've never been, but have always wanted to see.

[lostinshadows]

Nothing I can't handle. Just give me a couple of more days to cool off.

[The redhead frowns a bit when he's tugged up against Tyki. Sighing, he makes himself comfortable, resting his chin on his chest as he peers up at him.]

Paris.

[ateaseofpleasure]

Then I think a few days away for both of us is even more warranted, don't you? [ He smiles down at Lavi when he relaxes against him, eyes bemused. ]

Paris, hmm? How romantic of you. Very well, then. Paris it is.

[lostinshadows]

....Any chance I'd at least get my own room?

[He just kind of eyes him suspiciously.

Or does he have to share a room with you?]

[ateaseofpleasure]

I'll see what I can do.

[ But that's probably a no. Especially because you've mentioned your omega hormones are out of whack, Lavi. To an Alpha

What do you think? ]

Why don't you go start packing your things? I'll arrange for our jet to get ready.

[lostinshadows]

[There are regrets in his life.

Lavi should've flat out rejected the job offer.

His lone emerald eye watches Tyki for a bit longer as if debating something before sighing. He pulls away from the alpha to get off the couch and disappears into his room.]
