Welcome! (Back?)

[Aiden Finnegan]

Aiden smiled warmly as Sage reappeared, wrapping him in a comfortable embrace. Siobhan smiled as well. That was a good sign. Perhaps he had gotten through to her a little bit on the matter… Not that any of that mattered. Aiden wanted Sage and he was happy with him. That was that. Siobhan could either support the pair or fuck off.

                In truth, he cared more about her warnings of the future. He didn’t think Nox was the ‘Dragon’ in her dream, but it could have been a person nonetheless. There were monsters out there, but they rarely seemed to be anything out of a storybook… At least in the literal sense.

                With another swig of his whiskey, Aiden titled his head, looking into Sage’s eyes, “Sio is convinced she can turn Vitya straight… She’s also operating on the assumption that he’s gay,” he said that all with a shrug, barely concealing a smirk behind his glass of honey-colored liquid.

                Siobhan literally spat her’s out, eyes bulging.

                “Shut your god damn mouth, Aiden!” She spluttered, quickly looking to Sage, “He’s lying. Don’t listen to him. I want you two to be careful when you go on this god damn journey. That’s all. Lies. All lies.”

                Aiden broke out into a gale of laughter as Siobhan tried to smooth the situation over. He shook his head at Sage.

                “What’d you give the ‘Moon King’ anyway? I hope it wasn’t a new Wallet because I seem to remember you talking about getting me a new one…” Aiden pulled out the device and waved it at his boyfriend, “Not that there’s anything wrong with this one, but I’m sure whatever you gave me would be 100 years more advanced than this thing…”

                There was a slight risk in that statement. Aiden didn’t want to come off as a brat, but he couldn’t help but feel a little jealous that his boyfriend was giving away toys to other boys.
