Father's Hatchet

Hands Off-

TW: {Elijah/ 

~Micheal's P.O.V~

We sat there in awkward silence, just staring at the wall and stealing glimpses of one another, until-

A sharp gasp escaped my lips as I felt his hands trail up my thigh, I really don't think he meant anything by it, I believe he was just curious. "Hey hands off-" I let out another sharp gasp as he grabbed my good leg and yanked me underneath him, he didn't even make eye contact with me, his eyes glued to my bottom half, next thing I know his hand slipped under my skirt. "Hey! You can't do that" I said slapping his hands and sitting up quickly, we were pretty much nose to nose, I glared at him he just looked at me confused. "Why not?" he sounded genuinely confused, "Well, because I said no....and it's my body" Elijah looked at me confused, "So?". I felt a little sick to my stomach, "You mean to tell me consent doesn't matter here!?" Elijah's eyes widened, "Oh, no, it does, I was asking why won't you let me touch you". I sighed in relief, "Because it makes me uncomfortable" I answered confidently, Elijah perked an eyebrow at me looking at me unimpressed. 

I rolled my eyes at him causing him to grab something from behind him and throw it at me, looking at it now I think it's supposed to be a makeshift pillow. I caught it and threw it back at him, it hit him in the chest and he dramatically rolled over like he was seriously hurt, then he got up and pretended to favor his wing. I gave him an unimpressed look and grabbed the pillow behind me this time actually hitting his wing, "Ok that actually hurt" he said gritting his teeth before grabbing the pillow and throwing it a little harder at me. I tried to catch it but I missed, and it smacked me in the face before falling off of the catch, I huffed under my breath and jumped off the couch onto his back, we fell over laughing before he rolled over pinning me under him. I grabbed his face to get his attention, "You should apologize to Zach, that was really unfair of you" I said moving my hands to his hair which was surprisingly soft. He leaned into my touch, "I like you" he said closing his eyes, I laughed "I like you to I guess."

Elijah's tail waved back and forth, "What...are you exactly?" I asked hoping that I wouldn't come across as rude. "Oh, I'm a griffen....what are you?", I thought for a moment, "I'm a human" I said removing my hand from is hair, his tail picked up speed, I have a griffen form to but I'm to lazy to turn into it right now. Elijah said his tail slowing a bit, his tail was smooth till it got to the tip then it flared like a lion's tail. I grabbed his tail causing him to freeze and just stare at me, "What...it's soft" I said rolling me eyes, he grabbed my hand and pulled me onto his lap, his hands once again slipping under my skirt, I rolled my eyes giving up on telling him no. "Are you going to apologize to Zach?" I asked, "I will later" he mumbled burying his face in my neck, his warm breath causing my skin to flare up with goosebumps. "No either you go apologize to him right now or I leave". Elijah pulled away from my neck and looked down at me, even though I was on his lap I was still shorter then him, I know bullshit.

"And where are you going to go?" he asked looking at me unimpressed, "I don't know, back to my spot where I was in the first place, where I would have a better chance at being found and getting to go home to my family, who I miss very dearly right now, I mean I would even take my mother right now and I don't even like her that much" I ranted trying to get him to say he will apologize to shut me up, "Did you know-" Elijah cut me off by slipping his hand over my mouth "Shhhhhh" he said an annoyed look on his face. I got off his lap, "Are you going to go apoligiz-" I began, "Yes! Okay I will go now" Elijah said finally getting tired of me talking. I watched as he stood up, giving me one last look, his eyes drawing up and down my body before he walked out of the small house. I began looking around mapping where everything was at.

~Elijah's P.O.V~

I groaned as I stepped out of the house, I just met him and I want to do everything that makes him happy. I sighed as I began making my way down the long spiral staircase, laughing to myself as I remembered how Micheal struggles with it. It's so weird to me, a whole other life  outside of the island, I grew up here so this is all I know, but listening to Micheal talk and explaining things to me has made me want to explore beyond the confinements of the island. I honestly had no idea where Zach would be right now, unless he is in the cold spring, makes sense I did make him carry  stuff this time so he is probably sore, now that I mention it I am to and I know because of that bad hip Mike is to. So...i'll just go back up and get him,  he doesn't need to know I didn't apologize, I turned around and began going back up the stairs, I had only made it 2/3 of the way down so it wasn't that bad. As I made it to the top, I knocked on my door wanting to scare him a little, the little shuffling I heard stopped and I just knew he was staring at the door like a jackalope when you catch them off guard.
