With a deep breath, Lucas looked into the mirror intensely, his eyes tired, and lips chapped, he gave his thick beard like stubble a final caress before having to do the painful ritual of shaving, which he hadn't done in about five months. Getting out the cream he slathered his face in it, then he looked at the razor. His hand shaking as he reached for it, taking another breath, he began. With every stroke he felt more and more naked, with every rinse of the razor he felt as if his sex appeal would disappear, with every wince he knew he would be received differently. With finishing he shut his eyes, wiping off the rest of his face with a towel, he held his breath, slowly looking up into the mirror.

"Hey you almost done in the bathro-LUCAS WHAT THE FRICK WHY ARE YOU NAKED?!" Griffith screamed before scurrying out of the washroom, in complete and utter terror. Leaving the newly shaved demon all the alone time he wanted to stare into the mirror and admire his clean slick shave. He always hated the process but in the end appreciated it, and he knew Mira would like it too.

They met up at the van around 11 AM, everyone was well rested and ready to get going again that night, mainly because they were only a few states away from their destination of South Carolina and they really wanted to get there without spending a week around one town so they could pretend they weren't pretty much homeless. Mira's eyes locked with Lucas's as he walked up to the van, wearing a tight black shirt and lazy jeans, he was still stunning... Especially clean shaven for her. His rugged sexiness turned into something more, reassuring, like dealing with a good business man.

"I saw Lucas's dick, I'm now in the process of questioning my sexuality." Griffith said with despair, causing for Jean to give out a chuckle, taking it as a joke sadly, fuck that man was positive. Natalia was already in the passenger's seat, watching as the people slowly piled into the van, Lucas, Mira, and Boris sat in a row, which was pretty much a sexual tension sandwich. Each piece of bread wanting to be the only one with the middle... like when you only have one slice left so you fold it over, yeah, one of those sandwiches.

"So! We're on the road again~ Can't wait to get back onnnn the road again~" Jean hoarsely sung to the radio before chuckling. "Perfect song to get going to in the morning, and I hope that at least one person sings along." Smiling brightly he continued to sing, the people in the back collectively sighing. It was going to be a long, awkward, sexually intense trip although it would take them maybe another few days to reach South Carolina if they tried for once to go far.

With a deep breath and smile Jean finally pulled the car over, they were there, and only in a month, why so long you ask? Because Jean hated driving, with a pure passion, some people were surprised he could do it for an entire day but then the next he would most likely say that they should stay in the town for a day or two and look at the landmarks. Which no one did, they just bought junk food and hid in their hotel rooms, probably having sex or whatever is closest to sex. Except for Lucas, who after shaving and being kinder, caused Mira's sex drive to sky rocket sadly.

Lucas was left to a ball of complaints, whom annoys Griffith to no end mercilessly with his sorrow and despair. But today he say his newest opportunity to win back Mira's heart. Their entry to Congaree National Park.

The ol' demon knew a few park rangers (because yes, demonic beings like staying in woodland areas, shut up) so they got in real smooth with good understanding. Even being told of an abandoned ranger's lodge by the lake which they could try salvaging and living there until the real religious nuts found out through rumours and make sacrifices and donations. Luckily rich people believed in the keepers, that's why they were rich, but it was a well kept secret, very well kept secret.

Mira stepped out of the van, slowly walking towards the slightly overgrown cabin which looked big enough to house them, and possibly even more people thankfully. "Wow, so, this is my house? And I can just live here for as many centuries as I want." She smiled looking at her father who nodded, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and pulling her into a hug.

"Welp, it is a pretty good house, ya know, when we get all the clutter out, buy new furniture, kill any infestations." Boris groaned before he was pushed down to the ground by Lucas. "The fuck was that for??"

"Heh, you just sound like my mother when we had to rebuild our home when a tsunami hit. God was she a nag, surprised she isn't in hell." He smiled warmly at the pissed off man sitting in the dirt, whom was being completely ignored by his girlfriend at the time being.

"Boys boys, can't you just enjoy the moment, we have a home to live in!" Natalia smiled, dragging Griffith out of the car with a cheerful grin. She had grown to liking Griffith like a son almost, although the eldest being of the bunch hated it, because he was the fucking oldest and they treated him like a kid. "Well I'm not living here, me and Jean plan to live outside the park."

"Wait what? Jean, your leaving me here with these three?" Mira asked her father who bit his lip before nodding, looking at his daughter before smiling wide and pulling her into a hug.

"Your gonna be an adult! I don't want to be 'cramping your style' not to mention we do plan on visiting often. Very often." He said, stepping back before he and Natalia loaded into the van and drove off.

"Ah fuck."
