Johnny Blackjack turned the corner onto the street his house was on, his motorcycle rumbling as he passed by the familiar houses that belonged to friends of his such as Steven and Melody, Muse and his girlfriend Annaliese now that he had moved back, Chris and Sarah, and quite a few others as a shadow passed over him from above. He looked up to see Tristan carrying Katherine in his arms towards their house that was across the street from his own as he pulled into his driveway, killing the engine to the bike before getting off it, glad to be back from Tuscon at last. This time was different for him, however, seeing as it would be the first time that he would ever be returning home to someone instead of to an empty house, it almost felt alien to him but he found himself excited at the thought as well as he pulled his keys out to let himself in, the scent of coffee filling his nostrils the moment he close the door behind him. He was about to call out to see where she was within the house as a note on the kitchen counter caught his attention, picking it up to read the writing that had been so familiar to him that he had been sure he would never see again once he had been exiled from the Oregon compounds over five years ago.
'Johnny, I made dinner and didn't know when you would be back so I left it on the counter, it's in the blue container and if it has gone cold just pop it into the oven for twenty minutes or the microwave for ten and it should be perfectly hot again, and there are more leftovers in the refrigerator if you're still hungry after that. I hope that your raid went well, and if I am asleep when you get here then feel free to wake me up, I would love to hear all about it. All my love, Angel.'
He couldn't help but to smile as he looked at the container, opening it to find the contents to be steaming hot still, his mouth watering as the scent of lasagna infiltrated his senses as he grabbed a fork to eat it, looking around at the kitchen and seeing that it was spotless, frowning slightly at the fact that she had cleaned while he was gone. He had confessed to Chris that he was more than a little worried about leaving her alone since she had only been there with them for a few days and he wondered if she was settling in well enough, having insisted that she come to stay with him so that he could keep an eye on her wounds as they healed. Chris and his girlfriend Sarah both insisted that it was better that she had stayed behind since she had never gone on a raid before and her wounds, though healing quickly because of her fae blood, needed time to be gotten over before she did anything major like that, and Johnny knew that they were right. Still, he had thought about her the entire time that he was gone, wondering what she had been up to and if she was alright, discussing further with Chris about the way he worried if she was adjusting to life without her repression medication, being reminded that they had fed her blood on the way back to Los Angeles and may need some more to really help her if that was causing issues.
He washed the container once it was empty since he didn't want to leave dishes behind since she had gone out of her way to clean up not only the kitchen but everywhere he looked, walking up the stairs to go looking for her but finding the room he had given her to stay in empty. He remembered he had told her that if she needed to, she could sleep in his room to feel more comfortable since she was going to be there alone, thinking he would find her there as he walked to the master bedroom to find the door slightly ajar, the lights on within. Gently he pushed the door open further to find her laying on her stomach on his bed, her long legs kicking back and forth in the air as his eyes traveled down the bare, pale flesh and over her ass that was covered in just a pair of black booty shorts, lingering there for a moment before they started up the rest of the way. She was in one of his gray muscle shirts that he had given her to sleep in the first night that she had arrived, propped up on her elbows as she read a book that was open before her, her long dark hair curled around her back and shoulders, licking his lips as he took a shaky breath. He watched her for several moments in silence, his mind racing with thoughts and fantasies of things that he wanted to do to her now that she was within his sight once more, forcing himself to relax as he gently cleared his throat, watching her mark her place before looking over at him with her fiery brown eyes.
"I didn't even hear you come in, I must have been so engrossed in the book that I didn't think anyone was here," Angel said with a laugh as she pushed herself up to sit on her knees, her fingers tugging the shirt down when it rose up to expose the pale flesh of her stomach and in turn making it dip deeper down her cleavage. Her eyes met his, and that part of her that felt as though she couldn't breathe was there once again, she had had that feeling since the first time that she had laid eyes on him, and as she brushed her hair over her ear she felt her heart skip a beat as her peripheral vision caught sight of her Compatibility mark that she no longer had to hide from view. "How did the raid go, was anyone hurt or did you just get the things that you needed to find out?" she asked, ever curious about the things that he did as she crawled to the edge of the bed to get to her feet, his eyes following her every movement as she did so, infatuated with the way that her body moved. She crossed the distance between them soundlessly, and he had to smile inwardly at how easily she was learning to use the natural grace of their species like she had been moving like that her entire life.
"Good, everything went good and no one got hurt, though we came kind of close to being caught a few times, thankfully it didn't come down to it though, I need to train you up so that I can take you with me sometime and see how you do, I think you'd be a natural really. And thank you for dinner, it was so good that I almost had seconds but I wanted to come and see how you were since you were here all alone all day and all," he said softly, gently reaching up to brush her hair away from her face, the mark on his wrist that matched hers looking dark against her flesh when they were side by side. Looking down their six inch height difference, his eyes searching hers for a moment as he felt himself bend slowly until their faces were just inches from one another and he knew what he wanted even though he hadn't been so forward with her since her arrival, trying his best to be the gentleman that she had been used to in his letters to her. He was surprised when she pressed forward, and he took that as a sign that she wanted him to close in and close the distance between them, his lips meeting hers in a chaste but tender kiss, his fingers lingering on her cheek as her hand came up to touch his.
