Daven plugged in the TV he had to drag out of storage. The gaming system was still sitting in the box. He had no idea how to work it. He'd leave that up to Jesse to figure out. Raven was supposed to bring his fiance to his room. Scanning the area, Daven made sure everything was put up and somewhat clean. His mother would be proud. He glanced at the drawers to his dresser that couldn't close all the way, well maybe she'd be satisfied.

Sitting on the bed, Daven began the wait. Maybe he should shift to human. He was less intimidating in that form.

"Daven." The white werewolf poked his head around the corner. "I brought Jesse."

The dominant stood and was happy to see his fiance was in werewolf form. It made things a little less awkward.

Jesse grabbed Raven's hand when the sub tried to leave. "Stay with me, for awhile. Please."

Raven turned to his brother. "Is that okay?"

"Sure." Daven shrugged. "If that makes you feel better, then I'm fine with it." He gave Jesse a small smile. "Well, I got the TV working. I don't know where to go from there."

His fiance shuffled forward to the box and started getting everything out.

"Do you need help?" asked Daven.

Jesse shook his head. "I got it. It's not too hard."

Daven sat down on the bed. Raven plopped down beside him.

"What the hell is in your ears?" Daven flicked one with a diamond earring.

"Stop it." Raven knocked his brother's hand away. "I like them. I'm tired of everyone making fun of me. Mom pierced hers too."

The dominant laughed. "I thought dad said you'd have to take them out."

Raven picked at his claws. "He said I could do what I want."

"I'm messing with you, Raven. They suit you."

The sub bowed his head. "So what do you think of Jesse?"

Daven glanced at the werewolf who was behind the TV. "He's cute. Smaller than I'd thought he'd be. I didn't think werewolf came in a smaller size than you."

Raven narrowed his eyes at him. "You're not funny."

"I like him. He has a little fire to him. I see why Uncle Titus likes Aden so much. It makes things interesting." He leaned back on his arms. "Don't worry, Ravy, someone going to love this pure white thing you have going on."

The younger twin's mouth fell open. "I don't want a mate."

"Good," Daven patted his head. "Between you and Jesse, I'm going to have my hands full at Midfield. No boys, remember?"

"You get mad at me for talking like dad, so don't do it to me."

Daven gave him a cheesy grin. "You better keep your nose buried in those books, because that is all you'll be doing."

Raven bristled at the comment.

"It's ready," muttered Jesse, standing in front of the TV picking at his tail. "Which do you want to play first?"

"Something easy," breathed Daven. "Really easy."

***

"Yes!" Jesse threw his hands in the air. "I win. I'm the champion."

Raven groaned as his car ran off the road again and blew up. "I hate this game."

Daven just stared at the screen that was flashing 5th over his car. Video games were harder than they look. At least he did better than Raven. The sub had gotten last every time.
