Open to Basil
Vance was a smart kid, but math was not at all his strong suit. He did all right, but he was anxious about a test that was coming up, and he it was easy for him to figure out that a good person to help him study was Basil. Of course, sometimes he asked Wendell for help, but the older wolf could sometimes have his hands full with the little ones or his work so Vance didn't want to overload him. Plus Basil and Vance were schoolmates, and packmates, and Vance liked the kid. At school, Basil was the only real person he felt comfortable talking to. He liked Joshua, too, so far but Joshua wasn't enrolled just yet though Vance had a feeling the boy would be soon.

At the moment Vance was sitting at the kitchen table in the mainhouse with Basil, both working on their homework quietly. Vance was anxious to get done so that he could spend time with Pirate, and he was sure that Basil was just as anxious so that he could spend time with Emmy. Vance was pretty happy to be back in school, especially since he'd had to miss out on the first semester while he got use to shifting and the ways of being a fully fledged wolf.

After a quiet twenty minutes, he got up to get himself a glass of tea, and he got one for Basil too. He carried both glasses over to the table and set them down before he got settled again.

"Jason Claymore asked me to the Valentine dance," he told Basil after a moment. "And he said Davey Salerno wants to ask you."

Vance, of course, had said no just as he knew Basil would. But it was surprising that two very well known guys at school were interested in them. They were sort of outcasts, but apparently very pretty outcasts.

	Vance leaned against the countertop and watched Basil with an amused smile. He nodded his head at the other wolf's question, and he reached out to tug at Basil's shirt. "I do, probably just some nice shirt and some dress slacks an my converse," he said with a shrug. "What about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I have a tuxedo in my closet that still fits, but I suspect that will be too formal and I'll end up looking ridiculous by comparison." There was so much to be concerned about. He glanced down at what he was wearing right then, a polo shirt and slacks. Certainly not semi-formal. "I'm sure I can find something," he said with uncertainty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You suspect right," Vance grinned. "I'll help you, don't worry. I think that one of the wolf's in Kingston's pack is a clothing designer, bet you he can help." "Help with what?" Emmy asked as he came in from the cold, and obviously a run. Emmerson had no shoes or shirt on, which Vance found insane due to the cold. He was a wolf, but he was a baby about the cold.

When Basil noticed Emmy looking and smelling like that, his head went sort of numb and he stared, still able to be floored by how much he wanted the other wolf. If the possibility that they ever broke up existed, Basil wasn't sure he'd survive it. He couldn't even answer the question right away because he was so busy breathing in that rich scent of lingering wolf and wild.

"Um," he finally said. "Oh. Actually that's something I wished to speak with you about." He quickly fell back into his formal pattern of speech once he regained his mental faculties.

"Oh really?" Emmy smiled as he went over to Basil so that he could lean down and press a kiss to the boy's mouth. "You don't have to wish that all, just do it whenever you want. Vaughn made dinner at home, are you two hungry?"

He considered his home Basil's home, the kid had all but moved in, and Emmy wanted him around as much as possible.

"I'm eating with Pirate and Louisa, but thanks for the offer," Vance said as he grabbed his bag up and went for the back door. "See you in the morning, Bay."

The nickname had always struck him as odd, but at the same time he liked it. It felt personal and special. "I'm hungry," he said once Vance had left. He didn't think that ever wasn't the case.

He pulled his bag over his shoulder, glad to be done with homework for the evening. Slipping his hand into Emmerson's, he headed out so that they could go home. "There's a Valentine's dance coming up at school," he began. "Vance and I want to go together. Well--not together, alone together. Stag, I think he called it."

Emmy slipped his fingers in with Basil's and led the way out of the door. It was clear that he'd come to the mainhouse just to walk Basil home, and as the boy spoke he lifted their hands up to his mouth so that he could press a kiss to the back of Basil's.

"That sounds fun," he smiled softly. He liked that Vance and Basil got along, and he was glad that his mate had a friend his age. "I wish I could take you."

"I wish you could too," he agreed with a firm nod. He couldn't wait to be older so that the age difference didn't really matter as much to the rest of the world. Basil had learned to be about proper appearances, especially to hide what he was to the public, so if people found out about who he was dating, he got the feeling he'd get anxious of what they'd think. "Vance said a boy from school was going to ask me. A human." Like he needed to specify.

"Yeah? Well, that doesn't surprise me, you know," Emmerson told Basil with a smile as he led the way up the porch steps to their house. The smell of steak, potatos, corn on the cob, and freshly cooked rolls could be smelled. "You're smart and attractive," he added as he held the door open for Basil to slip inside first before he followed. "And you have a cute butt," he added with a swat as the boy passed him by.

Basil let out a loud squeak of surprise and he wheeled around with a pink face. "I do not!" he laughed in an uncommon burst of mirth. Basil was usually so dry and serious. The swat had set a smile on his face though. "Would you be jealous if I danced with other people? Vance says I should slow dance. I doubt i'd be very good at spazzy dancing." He used Vance's word and it sounded awkward coming from him, like he was trying out a word from an entirely different language.

"Yes you do," Emmy said with a grin as he stepped forward to wrap his arms around Basil. He let his hands slip down to cup at the boy's ass and he gave a playful squeeze. He pressed a quick kiss to Basil's mouth before he let him go to dish up their plates. "I might be a little jealous, but in a good I'll his ravage you when you come home kind of way," he grinned. "Dancing is harmless, as long as nothing else happens."

The very notion of dancing with someone else, all the while thinking about how Emmerson was going to act possessive when he got home and take time to lay claim to him again was enough to make his knees go weak. He may have been quite hungry right then, but he really felt like kissing Emmy again.

But he controlled himself and went to make the plates up. When he was done, he took them to the little kitchen table. "Then I'll dance and work up an appetite for you."

"You do that," Emmy grinned as he poured himself a glass of juice, and one for Basil too. "Are you nervous? Probably wondering what to wear?" he asked as he set the glasses down and had a seat. "That new fox from the Portland pack makes clothes." Vance had said wolf, but he hadn't met Shannon in person yet. "He's really good. He made Aryk some pants and a vest, really nice."

Basil had lots of expensive clothes, but they weren't all very stylish or modern. He was also growing rapidly and growing out of all the clothes he'd brought from home. "A vest?" He perked up a little. "That sounds sharp." He liked the way vests looked under suit jackets, but that was a little to formal, but maybe just a vest would be relaxed enough. "Do you think it wouldn't be too much of a bother to ask him to help?" He hated to be a burden.

	"I think he'd like to it, he seemed really happy when he found out how much Aryk was into vintage clothing," Emmerson said as he started to cut up his steak. He all ready knew that Vaughn was upstairs with Ever, and Ever was writing, so he wasn't expecting them to come down. "I'd ask him to make me something, but I don't wear a lot of clothes," he grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And i'd like to keep it that way," he said quickly. "No use in altering a good thing." He smiled a little and took a bite of steak. He ate with meticulous precision, back straight, exact motions of his hands. It was impossible to break that kind of training. The idea of slouching and shoveling food into his mouth, no matter how hungry he was, was apalling.

"All right, I'll ask him." He was even more excited now and he was trying to hold it in.

	Watching how precisely Basil ate, Emmy couldn't help but smile in adoration. He imagined that they were quite the odd couple. Basil and his need to perfect everything probably seemed strange paired with Emmy and his oh so easy going behavior. "You're dating a hippie you know," he teased with a playful grin.

"Yes," he nodded, well aware of their comical differences. He was very fond of the way Emmerson carried himself. It set him at ease when he needed it most. "You're dating a bourgeois stuff shirt," he smiled good naturedly. It clearly didn't bother him and he got the vibe from Emmy that it didn't bother him either.

"I love you very much," he said formally, but there was a lot of emotion behind it and in his eyes.

	Emmerson leaned over to press a soft kiss to Basil's mouth, letting it linger for a moment before he pulled back some and brushed a kiss to the tip of the boy's nose. "I love you very much, too," he said softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Having eaten enough to be satisfied, Basil was more easily distracted by the kiss. In a little flurry of movement, he was stretched onto his feet, leaning way over the table in his eagerness to get close to Emmy. He didn't think of simply walking around it. With long arms, he reached to draw the other wolf closer too and he almost knocked over his drink. As elegant as Basil could seem, there was a profound lack of grace to his movements.

	A quiet giggle escaped Emmy as he kissed Basil again. He loved little moments like this, ones where Basil lost just a tiny bit of his poise. He loved Basil's personality, but it was nice to be the one person who could pull him out of his precise ways. "You are really, very, seriously cute," he murmured. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Cute because I'm serious or very very cute?" he asked without teasing. He wanted to know. Bt he didn't have the patience to stop kissing Emmy long enough for an answer. Slowly, his brain started to work out how to get closer to the other and he scooted around the table so he could climb into Emmerson's lap. The man beneath him was anything but cute. Basil thought he was many things: sexy, amazing, maddeningly beautiful, but not cute.

	"Both," Emmerson mumbled as Basil slipped into his lap. He closed his eyes and kissed at Basil's mouth before he kissed down along the side of the boy's throat. His hands slipped beneath Basil's shirt to touch skin while a noise of enjoyment escaped him. "Bed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Every ounce of the attention was appreciated. He shut his eyes and tilted his head so Emmy could get a better angle. "Bed," he confirmed with a nod. He slipped his arms around Emmy's shoulders, clearly not intending to get up himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Emmy smiled and nipped at Basil's earlobe before he got to his feet, leaving the dishes for the morning. He carried Basil upstairs and down the hall towards him room, and once they were inside he closed the door with his foot and put Basil down onto the bed.

"Would you like to take a shower with me? It'll give you time to sleep in," he said as he leaned down to steal a quick kiss from Basil's mouth. "And it'll be fun, I promise."
