open to pirate
The holiday season was Vance's favorite time of year. From Halloween through New Years, he was a happy camper, though being kidnapped had sort of put a damper on Halloween. He'd been too hurt to really enjoy it. But Thanksgiving and Christmas, he was back to his old self, though seeing Kenneth's dead body had been a bit jarring. At least he had Pirate, though. The two seemed nearly inseperable.

They were staying at the New Orlean's pack house, mostly because Vance was better now, and where Pirate was he wanted to be. After a shower, he put on a pair of pajama bottoms and nothing else as he ventured into Pirate's bedroom. The other wolf was laying face down on the bed, and Vance went over to crawl up onto the bed so that he could settle down against him, putting his chest against Pirate's back.

"It's snowing," he said softly.

Pirate squirmed a little, very pleased with the holidays now that Vance was around. He wouldn't admit it out right, but it was clear to Louisa that he was practically ecstatic on the inside about having the boy around for Christmas. The New Orleans pack had raucus traditions, revelling late into the night Christmas eve, eating tons of food, and generally making a lot of noise. Pirate never took too much time with that, but this year he planned on participating more, excited about showing Vance their unique traditions.

"Snowing? Not used to that." They didn't get much snow in New Orleans but Pirate never exactly missed it.

Vance smiled softly before he pressed a soft kiss against the back of Pirate's neck before he turned his head so that he could look out the window. The light in the room was dim, there was only one little lamp on, but the warm glow made the room feel warmer somehow. Or maybe it was just being near Pirate.

"It's pretty though, isn't it?" he murmured against the other wolf's shoulder as he wiggled his toes.

His feet captured Vance's wiggling toes like an over excited cat pouncing on a mouse. The predatory instinct in him was strong, especially with Vance. He wanted to protect him and devour him all at once. It was a wash of emotion every time he was around the other and it made him feel alive. Leaning forward, he bit at Vance's neck gently and then murmured against him. "It's very pretty." But it was clear he wasn't specifically talking about the snow.

When Pirate caught Vance's feet with his, Vance let out a laugh and squirmed as he slid off of the older wolf some. He settled next to Pirate, one arm and one leg still draped over the other man. He smiled at the kiss to his shoulder, and wiggled closer. It was early Christmas morning, probably 3 AM, but Vance could still hear Sterling downstairs.

"I think it's very pretty," Vance replied, having not caught on that Pirate wasn't talking about the snow.

"I especially like how pale it is, almost glittery when the light hits it right. Its blue eyes are pretty amazing too," he added just to make sure Vance caught on.

Sterling had almost come upstairs a few times, but Louisa had given him dirty looks and even drug him back down the steps on more than one occassion. She would not have Pirate and Vance disturbed by a troublemaker on her watch. "Ugh, I can hear it amping up down there. We're a small but mighty pack." Small now because of a cruel alpha, but safe because of Louisa.

Vance was about to reply that snow was always glittery, but when Pirate said the bit about blue eyes, he smirked a little as a faint blush creeped up into his cheeks.

"I'm not snow," he said as he poked Pirate gently in the side before he leaned in to press a soft kiss against the other wolf's mouth. "I like everyone here, they're fun," he murmured into the kiss. "I really like Louisa best, though."

He quirked a brow. "Really? You like Louisa best? I would expect you to like me best." It was mostly a joke, though there was just a hint of concern to it.

Focusing on the blush, Pirate brushed his thumb against it and leaned back to fully appreciate it. "No, I don't suppose you're snow, but you're perfectly pale and sometimes your fingers are very cold." He laughed a little.

	"Well, I like to think that you being my favorite goes without saying," Vance replied as he squirmed a little due to the attention of Pirate's fingers against his pink cheeks. "I guess my fingers and toes do get cold sometimes, but you're awfully good at warming them up," he added with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes, and you're good at sticking your toes against my legs and jarring me out of a sound sleep." It sounded like outright complaining, but really it wasn't all that harsh coming from Pirate.

He was thoughtful for a moment though, considering what Vance had said about liking everyone. "You like Sterling?" The two of them didn't quite get along. Sterling was always pissing Pirate off royally and most of the time it seemed as if he did it just for the hell of it.

Vance smiled sweetly and wiggled his toes some before he stuck them against Pirate's legs. Ever since he'd been back, he'd been sleeping tucked next to Pirate, and he was sure that he would never sleep so soundly anywhere else from then on.

"Sterling's nice," Vance replied as he tucked his arms beneath the pillow and turned onto his stomach, but kept his head facing towards Pirate. "He's a little boisterious, but he's nice. You don't like him?"

"He dupes people for a living," Pirate said stiffly. That was a good enough answer. No, he did not like Sterling. Everything about the man was the sort of thing that Pirate hated. Loud, obnoxious, casual, morally ambiguous, overly sexual, lazy. His parents were kind of like that, and Pirate hadn't gotten along with his parents either. Just talking about Sterling made him agitated.

It was unfortunate then that Sterling burst into the room smelling like a Hurricane, probably from the drink he'd spilled down the front of himself just moments before. Louisa had gone to get a towel to clean it up and Sterling had snuck away upstairs to pester Vance and Pirate. "Reveillon, Pirate! Reveillon. You never celebrate, even with your little tifi 'round." He said softly, but even Sterling's soft voice had a way of filling a room with dramatics.

"Anyone who takes a gamble with his antics should look up the word gamble, and realize that the house always wins," Vance replied with a faint smile as he leaned over to steal a quick kiss from Pirate's lips.

When Sterling came barrelling into the room, Vance blinked and turned onto his side so that he could prop himself up onto one of his elbows, and he looked over at the other wolf with a raised eyebrow.

"What's a tifi?"

Sterling laughed loud and unabashedly. Plopping down onto the bed with them, he kicked off his shoes as if he was going to stay a spell. Pirate's entire body was tense, rigid next to Vance. "A little girl," Pirate said through a tight jaw.

"Not just any little girl!" Sterling corrected. "A pretty little girl. Look at those eyes, Pirate, couldn't you just get lost in so much blue?" He started to bounce on the bed, jarring the other two. "Why you both wasting time up here? We gettin' Louisa chockay out there." Which wasn't true in the least, Louisa got loud, but she didn't get drunk, it required too much alcohol.

Vance furrowes his brow a little bit and pursed his lips together before he lifted his leg up and poked Sterling in the side with his toe.

"I'm not a little girl," Vance said. Pretty, maybe, but he was definitely not a little girl. "We're spending time alone right now. We'll come down later on, in a little while. Go finish getting Louisa chicken out there or whatever it was you said."

Pirate was steadily building himself to fury. He was just sure that Sterling was here to ruin his time alone with Vance. In reality, Sterling was just having fun, not having the temperament to sabotage Pirate's love life. "Sterling, go away," he said, voice low and threatening, a low rumble deep in his chest as his annoyance built and built.

Reaching over Vance to thump Pirate on the nose like a bad dog, Sterling flopped back even harder on the bed. "Bein' alone is boring. Come down." It was Sterling's most frivolous wish for Pirate to just cut loose one of these days and he thought having Vance around might loosen him up a little, but to no avail. The thump on the nose, however, was enough to make Pirate get out of bed and walk around to Sterling's side, pick him up by the shirt and start packing him toward the door as Sterling flailed his gangling arms and legs.

Vance could feel the tension building up in Pirate, and before he could think of anything to say or do, the damage was done and Sterling was being hauled out of the room. Vance slipped down towards the edge of the bed and watched with a faint little frown on his lips as Pirate hauled the other wolf out of the room.

"It's Christmas, you don't need to be so cranky," he said once Pirate had shut the door.

	Pirate turned. "Oh, it figures that I would get scolded for something Sterling pulled." Folding his arms across his chest, his body language said that he was quick on the road to shutting down and just being cranky for the rest of the night. Pirate was not the sort who cared whether or not it was a holiday. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vance slipped off of the bed and settled his feet on the ground before he got up and went over to where Pirate was standing. He hooked his fingers around the waistband of the older wolf's pants and tipped his head up to look at him.

"I wasn't scolding," he said as he leaned up to kiss at Pirate's jaw. "He wasn't pulling anything, he just wants us to come downstairs and spend time with everyone, to have fun. That's all. He's very social. You're not. You guys are just different." He pulled back and wet his lips as he smiled a little bit. "Wanna go for a run with me in the snow?"

"That wasn't perfectly innocent. And we are different, but you like him. The last time someone like him--" Pirate shook his head, not wanting to talk about the reasons he hated Sterling as much as he did. The idea of shifting sounded very good to him, not having to think like a human, even though Pirate kept a lot of control as a wolf due to his stubbornness and mental fortitude.

"Yes, i'd like that," he nodded and pulled back from the boy so he could open the door he'd so recently closed.

	Vance wanted to ask more, but decided to wait until they were alone outside. He slipped on his shoes and a t-shirt, and grabbed a blanket to wrap up in it like a burrito so only his face was visable. "I forgot my coat, and it'll be cold before we shift," he said to Pirate as covered his mouth with the blanket, leaving his blue eyes uncovered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Pirate stared at the boy, trying not to smile but he couldn't resist. His face broke into a brief grin. "You're a Vance wrap," he chided before tugging him toward the door, not bothering with shoes or a coat or even a shirt at this point. He didn't often get cold, even naked in the snow--not that he had a lot of experience with snow. He was just that stubborn.

Heading downstairs, he gave Louisa a pleading look and she kept Sterling preoccupied so they could slip by. Once outside, he rubbed his hands together and moved his feet a little faster.

Vance trailed after Pirate, still all wrapped up, and once they were outside his teeth started to chatter. He got cold so easily, but once he shifted he would be fine. Once they were in the clearing of their usual spot, he shed the blanket that looked more like a cape and started to undress. He tried not to look at Pirate, seein te other wolf naked would only rile him up.

Pirate still had some issues with being naked in front of other people, leftovers from his human life. He shed his clothes slowly, glancing occasionally over at Vance and finding that the process of watching him disrobe was extremely pleasing to the eye. He almost forgot about how angry Sterling had made him just a little while before.

When he was finally naked, he took a deep breath of cold air and stood there for a moment. "Do you need a push?" He offered because it was often easier if the wolf was called out of the new shifter. Pirate could already feel the primal shimmer of his own wolf ready to unfold.

Vance, obviously, hadn't ever had sex, but being around Pirate made him think about it often. Especially at the moment. He wet his lips and tipped his head up to look at the other wolf before he reached out to take a hold of his hands. He stepped closer to Pirate and stood up on his toes so that he could press a kiss to his mouth. He let it linger for a moment, then kissed at his jaw before he nodded his head some.

The warmth of their bodies pressed together contrasted aginst the cold air and made him go weak in the knees. As soon as Vance pulled back, Pirate closed the distance again, keeping the kiss going. He couldn't hold back the rush of his wolf, and it came on stronger than he would have allowed it had he been in control of it.

When their wolves crashed together, Pirate let out a growl that was anything but human. His animalistic side wanted so much to physically claim Vance as his own. He held onto Vance tightly, even as the shift started.
