Don't Touch What's His (mlm)

Chapter 23

Lathaniel
I sighed as I got out of the study after so long. Since Toby had his friends over I didn't see the need to hang around for their reunion, so I locked myself down in my study and caught up on some work.

I walked into the kitchen and fixed myself some whiskey. I drank about three rounds before heading up to my room. It was already quite late, I doubt Tobias would still be awake.

I walked into my room and to my surprise Tobias was awake reading a book from my library. I stood silently and watched him, waiting until he noticed, which he didn't.

I cleared my throat as I walked in further, getting his attention. "Hey." He said softly, getting out of bed to come to me. I smiled down at him and pulled him into a hug. "Hey." I whispered back. "Why're you still awake?" I asked him as we pulled away from each other.

"I...I'm scared to go back home, where I'll be alone for the most part since I no longer have two jobs. I don't want it to happen again." He answered lowly, keeping close to me.

"What do you want to do?" I questioned. He sighed before going to sit down on the bed, making me follow. I watched him as his ears became red with frustration. "I want to move in with you, but if it's too much too quickly then it's fine. But I really don't feel like I can set foot back there again without you, let alone stay there." He replied and looked at me with teary eyes.

I wiped away the rogue tear that slipped past his eyelashes before pulling him into a short loving kiss. "You can stay with me." I said when I pulled away from him. "You don't have to worry about him, I'll take care of you. Okay Kitten?" I added. He nodded in response before hugging me tightly.

"Let's get some sleep." I whispered before getting up to change. He got into bed just as I finished changing. I slipped into bed and cuddled up next to him and he switched off the bed side lamp. I held him fairly tightly, trying to keep him safe and trying to make him feel safe.

Although I was certain I could beat the shit out of anyone, I was still afraid of something. Maybe I was afraid of disappointing him with my immense violence, or maybe he'd start the fear me because of it. Maybe the fact that I'm a demon would really come into play in his head and he'd leave me...

I shook the negative thoughts out of my head and held him tighter. "Don't squeeze too hard." He whispered gently and I loosened my grip. "Sorry Kitten." I whispered back.

Soon enough I'd fallen into a deep sleep, the deepest I'd ever been in. I didn't have a dream in particular as I wasn't there yet. Sleeping as much as I did was a miracle as I didn't really need sleep or to eat or anything really.

But because I was with him so often now, I didn't really feel any need to just walk around in one of my other, easy to maintain forms. Besides, I liked being human. I could actually feel things and I could love on a different scale. On one that isn't built on fear and dominance but just simple love.

I suppose that's what I like most about humans, their style of loving. They're capability of being so passionate and empathetic, even to people they don't know? It's truly amazing.

Of course I didn't sleep for too long as Tobias's mark began to sent of jolts of electricity through me. He was having a nightmare for the first time since we'd gotten together. I closed my eyes and tried to see if I could get inside his head and inspect his nightmare.

Once I got in I could see him shivering like a leaf in a corner on the floor with a tall dark figure in front of him. I just wanted to interfere but it was nothing but a mind projection, nothing to worry too much about.

What I did do was hold him tighter and whisper sweet nothings in his ear which seemed to throw his nightmare into a dream. The scenery changed to one that was less of a cause for concern and I smiled before opening my eyes and returning to reality.

I kissed the back of his neck before closing my eyes and going back to bed.
