open to sigmund
As much as Graham wanted to say that he'd never miss pack life, he could never quite say the words. He sometimes missed his pack... especially Sigmund. They had a rough go of things for a few years, but it was hard to shake feelings for someone when you had such a deep ... Well, he wasn't sure what it was that they'd had. But Graham wasn't the best type of man for a pack. He didn't get along with Hunter at all, and honestly? He hardly got along with any of the other wolves.

So he took off on his own after he and Sigmund had decided to part ways once and for all. They always fell back together, so it was easier to just leave. And he found another wolf who he ended up traveling with sometimes. They tracked hunters who tracked their kind. They'd saved a lot of packs, and killed some hunters in their day, but what had to be done had to be done in Graham's opinion.

When he caught wind of the Cold Water pack being in trouble, he couldn't push down the familiar feelings of protectiveness. That was his pack, even if he wasn't actively there or a part of it. Two days later, and he was at Sigmund's door knocking. When a young man with tossled hair answered, Graham arched a brow.

"Who the fuck are you?" he asked the boy.

Casey just sort of blinked before he furrowed his brow and wet his lips. He hadn't expected that sort of greeting from the stranger at all.

"Um, my name's Casey, who are you?" he said in return.

"Where's Sigmund?" Graham asked as he pushed the human aside. It was still Sigmund's home. He could feel it... And mell the other wolf, too.

With a sigh of frustration that bordered on a growl of insanity, Sigmund took the pizza from Casey and set it on the steps before he gathered the younger man up in his arms and kissed him. He needed that, needed some kind of release to the tension and a reaffirmation that Casey wasn't just a human like Graham had said. What right did he have to come in here and judge. Sigmund's wolf rolled up and over the both of them as he pressed Casey back against the wall. He didn't give him a chance to breathe, just kissed him hard enough to make his knees buckle. His hips rocked forward, practically assaulting the poor boy instead of answering that question.

When he finally broke away, he kept close, holding Casey's gaze with intensity. "He's someone I used to be with. He came to warn us about a hunter. We need to go back to the haven until this all blows over. Don't worry--Graham frequently gets his panties in a bunch over nothing." Not true, but he wanted to reassure Casey.

When Sigmund came at him like that, Casey barely had time to think. His body just reacted on it's own, and he kissed back as his arms wound around Sigmund's shoulders. He stood up on his toes and let out a soft sound as he was pushed against the wall, and he pressed his hips forward. He had no idea where the aggression was coming from, but he liked it. He was a little breathless when the kiss broke, and he wet his lips as he looked up to meet Sigmund's eyes.

"Oh," he said softly, not entirely sure how to take the information of Sigmund and Graham being together. "All right... Um, well, do you want me to go to my Gram's or ... Are you sure they'll let me stay out there again?"

He wanted to ask more about Graham, but he didn't know how to just yet.

He wanted to take Casey upstairs for a quickie before they left, but then he thought how cruel it would be to arrive late to the haven smelling like sex. The moment he thought about that though, he was angry over the fact that Graham's arrival could alter his actions with Casey so quickly. This was not going to be an easy stay out at Wolf Haven.

"No, you need to stay with me. If some half-bit pack alpha knew enough to come after you, then his hunter would know to do the same. I can't have you in harm's way. I can escort you to classes if you want." He smirked at that thought, carting Casey around, his personal bodyguard. "And if any of the pack have a problem with you, then they have a problem with me." He kissed his chin after he'd tilted it upward. "I'm being bossy, aren't I. Do you mind?"

Casey swallowed and shook his head a little bit at the question as Sigmund tipped his head forward, and he shifted in his stance so that he could wrap his arms around the older man's shoulder a little bit more. He pressed his face against Sigmund's chest and let out a sigh.

"Why aren't... What didn't work out between you two?" he said after a moment, gaining enough courage to just ask, though his voice was quiet.

The contact was infinitely calming and he was very thankful that Casey was coming with him to the haven. He knew he couldn't handle Graham without the stabilizing factor of the boy in his arms.

"We were alike in the wrong ways and different in the wrong ways. We were never able to compliment each other like you and I do. We were just mismatched." He couldn't keep the taint of regret from his voice. At the time, he'd wanted things to work out so much. But standing here with Casey made him glad it hadn't.

Casey easily caught onto the tone, and he swallowed hard as he tightened his hold on Sigmund. He felt insecure, even though he knew that he was probably being silly. But he honestly couldn't help it. How could he compare to an ex who was what Sigmund was? And was actually older... And probably smarter. More experienced in all the ways Casey wasn't and couldn't be.

"Why'd he come here to you and not Hunter? Couldn't he just have told Hunter and he would have called you, wouldn't he?"

Sigmund could almost feel his worry radiating off of him. "I don't know," he said with a slight frown. That was a very good question, to be honest, and one that Sigmund definitely didn't have the answer to. He could guess, but he didn't really want to admit what he thought.

"Do you think I'm going to want to be with him again? Because he's back?" He wanted to get that out in the open, worried that Casey was going to think he and Graham still had something viable.

	Casey shrugged his shoulders a little bit as he pulled back to brush his hair out of his eyes. He blinked a few times before his gaze met Sigmund's, and a quiet sigh escaped his lips. "He's... Like you," he said after a moment. "I know I can't ever really be like... What Wendell is to Hunter, you know? Sometimes I worry about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sigmund almost laughed at the notion that Graham could fill that role either. If Sigmund was looking for a Wendell, he'd be looking far from Graham. But he held the laugh in check because he knew that now wasn't the time and he didn't want to make Casey feel worse. "You're what I want," he said firmly. "Every part of you. There is absolutely nothing that is lacking about you and nothing I wish would change." He paused and then smiled a little, breaking through his own seriousness. "Except maybe that you would walk around naked more often."

Casey couldn't help but wonder what exactly it was about him that made him so perfect to Sigmund. Maybe Sigmund just... Wanted to be with a human. Maybe it really didn't matter that Casey wasn't a wolf, too, because a human was what Sigmund really wanted. Or maybe it was just Casey he wanted. Either way, the boy felt lucky, and he leaned up on his toes to press a kiss to the older man's mouth as a hand came up to rest against Sigmund's jaw.

	Indulging in a long lingering kiss, Sigmund pressed himself against Casey. When the kiss broke, he reached down to grope his ass playfully. "Pack a few things? We can eat some pizza on the way up." He couldn't believe they were really going back so soon, but Sigmund knew it was the right thing to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The kiss literally took Casey's breath away, and he swallowed hard when Sigmund pulled away. He wet his lips and nodded his head a little before he stole one more quick kiss, and then he slipped past Sigmund to go upstairs to pack a few things. He came back down a few moments later with his dufflebag and violin case in tow.

"My Grams keeps saying I practically live with you," he said with a sheepish grin.

going to the haven?]

"Do you think she's all right with it?" It was hard to think of Casey as belonging to anyone but him. But he had to recognize that his Grandmother had a piece of him too. "I mean, deep down." Sigmund worried about such things sometimes.

Sigmund had packed a few things too, and now he was heading out to the car, loading them up. He'd already managed to down a couple pieces of pizza too.

"She likes you," Casey told Sigmund honestly. "She likes you a lot. She's definitely okay with it."

He carried his things out before he went back inside to eat two slices of pizza. He got full so easily, and after he drank some water he was pretty set. He went to wash his hands before he glanced back and over his shoulder at Sigmund.

"It's my Dad who doesn't like you," he added with a cute grin, "But I don't really like him so it doesn't matter."

"My dad would have loved you," Sigmund said with a mild laugh. It was true. The man would have been incredibly happy to think that Sigmund had found someone like Casey, someone that made him so happy.

He headed out to the car after finishing off the pizza and got in. The drive was shorter than Sigmund would have liked and when they arrived, he glanced around for Graham's truck, half wishing that this visit had been some sort of hallucination.

Casey couldn't help but be a little uneasy. While what Sigmund had said put him at ease, the idea of Graham and Sigmund was still very fresh in his mind. He followed Sigmund up the porch and into the house, and he wasn't at all surprised to see Wendell was getting a room ready for them. Graham was in the study, speaking with Hunter in private, and Casey couldn't hear a word that they were saying. The atmosphere of the house was heavy, though.

Regardless of how worried Wendell was about the whole situation, he was always happy to have more people in the main house. Wendell was one of those individuals who gained energy through interacting with people, especially his family. "Hello, Casey!" He said brightly as he came down the stairs to greet them both. "Good to see you again, though I'm sorry it's under such frightening circumstances. Graham isn't usually so concerned about hunters, but this one seems especially talented at wrecking havoc."

	"Hello Wendell," Casey said back, and he couldn't help but smile. He'd barely gotten to see the real Wendell before he and Sigmund had left the haven. Wen had been missing, and when he'd come back Hunter had been taking care of the wolf in their room and Casey hadn't seen a whole lot of him. "It's good to see you doing so well, how have you been?"

"I've been better than the last time you two were up here," he beamed. He loved having people to take care of. He knew he made Sigmund a little uncomfortable though, so he kept their conversation brief. "Towels upstairs in the closet by your room. Extra blankets in the chest at the foot of the bed."

Sigmund hated that Wendell could tell how weird it felt around him, how much the man reminded him of his father. But he was relieved when he left.

Wendell was easily Casey's favorite packmate of Sigmund's. He was so friendly and easy to talk to, and he made Casey feel so welcome. That meant a lot to Casey, especially in an environment like the haven.

"Are there other humans here, or is it just me?" he asked Sigmund as he took a hold of his boyfriend's hand so that they could head upstairs and get settled. "I didn't see any the last time I was here, I mean... Not that I'd know for sure, but you know."

"There's Jocelin," he said as he ran through the long list of current residents of Wolf Haven. "There was a young man, Campbell, who was a human, but he did something very foolish and went to be bitten by an old mutt. He's lucky to be alive, not everyone survives a bite, especially from someone as far gone as that wolf was. He just wanted to be a wolf so badly after living here, I suppose." Sigmund hadn't approved, but there hadn't been anything anyone could do to stop it. Campbell had planned and executed it all by himself.

	Casey hadn't met Jocelin, but now he wanted to. He kind of liked the idea of not being the only human around, of course he didn't realize that Jocelin use to hunt Sigmund's kind. "Oh," he said after a moment, taking in all that Sigmund had said about Campbell. "You wouldn't ever want me to be like you?" he asked quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Even if I did, changing you would risk losing you and nothing is worth that. So it's fortunate that I'm very happy with you just as you are." He led them upstairs, kind of hoping to avoid running into Graham again this evening.

Once upstairs, he sat down on the end of the bed and kicked off his shoes. "Do you want to be a werewolf?" He supposed it was a two way street.

Casey slipped out of his shoes and went to stand in front of the foot of the bed after he'd closed the door behind them. He considered the question, and let out a quiet sigh.

"I don't know," he admitted after a moment. "I mean - it's... Intriguing. But I think I'd be too afraid to really go through with it. When you shifted that one time... It looked so painful, did it hurt?" he asked as he lifted a hand to gently touch the side of Sigmund's face, though he stayed put standing for now.

Sigmund nodded slowly. "It always hurts a little, but it gets better over time. You're so laid back that I can't imagine you fighting it too hard. When you don't fight it, it comes more easily." Not that he was encouraging Casey not to be afraid. If that's what kept him from seeking out some crazy old mutt to turn him into a werewolf, then that was fine by Sigmund.

"I'd support you no matter what you decided to do, you know. But I'd be devastated if I thought you wanted to risk your life to be a werewolf just because you imagined that I wanted it that way."
