Alex awoke to the sound of a yip from outside in the living room. The first thing he noticed was that Eiryk was not in bed beside him. He sat up, feeling empty and alone in the bed in his room. He stretched and rubbed his eyes, swinging his legs over the side of the bed.
Out in the living room Thora was incessantly nagging at Eiryk, who was fast asleep on the couch. Alex smiled. Crossing the room he hushed the kit, picking her gently up and moving her out of the way. Bending, he slipped his arms behind Eiryk's shoulders and beneath his knees then lifted his boyfriend gently.
He carried Eiryk into the bedroom and set him gently on the bed, covering him up, tucking him in, and bending to kiss him softly. "Love you," he whispered into Eiryk's ear, convinced Eiryk would hear him even dead asleep.
Back out in the living room Alex gathered Thora up and set her on his shoulder. He went about his morning routine which now included feeding her and cleaning her litter box. Once everyone was taken care of he headed down to his shop, leaving Thora upstairs with Eiryk.
Alexander returned twice during the day to feed the kit. The third time was after he closed for the night and had gone back to his place. After seeing to her needs he carried her into the bedroom and sat on the bed at Eiryk's side. His boyfriend would wake soon and Alex wanted to be there.
Can We Keep Her? (Attn Alex)
Eiryk was carelessly sprawled across Alex's couch with their new pet, Thora, the little kit. She'd been checked out by a vet and pronounced fit. They had gotten everything required for a small canine and it was now all scattered through out Alex's apartment. Eiryk had a duplicate set delivered to his place, but they hadn't set it up yet. It was scary how attached he'd become to the critter.
Once she'd gotten over being cold and hungry she was as adventurous, curious and mischievous as any puppy or kitten. Thanks to his gift though she was mostly good. She knew what she could chew and couldn't and mostly stuck to that and was getting rather good at the litter tray Alex had suggested.
They were taking turns feeding her every few hours. Eiryk had done the last shift very early in the morning after Alex had gone to sleep. But he had also fallen asleep on the couch with the little warm fuzz ball curled up against his bare chest. Thora was attempting to wake him nudging him incessantly with her nose, biting at his thumb with her almost teeth and calling to him through his gift but Eiryk only just shifted in his sleep. Finally the kit gave up and barked at him.
Eiryk still didn't really move.

As he woke, the first thing that Eiryk did was to reach out for Alex. He wasn't awake, not really but he was almost kind of thinking about considering being awake. Feeling Alex he buried his face in Alex's side and muttered something unintelligible. Thank god Alex was patient because it took another ten minutes or so for him to actually move or make any sense at all and then he wanted coffee, -very- badly. He hadn't let go of Alex when someone started shouting at him.
[Eiryk!]
He yawned.
"Kids... Thora..."
He had to regroup and communicate it to her without speaking. They repeated the "Eiryk!" "Thora!" two or three more times. The did every evening, it seemed to entertain the kit.
With another yawn and a less than subtle nuzzle of Alex he tried a sentence.
"How do you like being a dad?"

Alex smiled as Eiryk went through the routine of waking up painfully slowly. Thora, he thought, hadn't quite caught on to the fact that no matter when Eiryk woke, Eiryk did it at his own pace.
He waited until Eiryk was almost making sense, his smile breaking into a grin when Eiryk actually formed words. "Not exactly what I envisioned," he said, "But I could get used to it."
He brushed his hand through Eiryk's hair and kissed him gently. "There's coffee in the kitchen," he said, Eiryk having long since brought a supply over and shown Alex how to brew it acceptably.
"Did you want to do something this evening before you go to your office?"
That question might be a bit too much for Eiryk this early in the evening. Plans usually had to wait until after coffee.

Eiryk muttered something about spit up and dirty diapers that wasn't really coherent. It was more along the lines of stream of consciousness and might have included some odd references to diapers and formula and a few other things. The rambling was stiffed under a an enormous yawn and stretch which was a little on the suggestive side. He didn't always remember they had an audience.
"Sperm donor... adoption.. keep your boys on ice...."
He rolled over and stared at the ceiling, completely unaware he had spoken. But he did feel Alex's hand in his hair and hear the word coffee. And fought more toward wakefulness. He did here something about plans and Eiryk's first reaction came tumbling out of his mouth...
"You... do you .... "
About then he half sat up aware of the smell of coffee and of Thora trying to jump up on to the bed and whining at them, looking for some one to pay attention to her and/or feed her. But his lips sought Alex's, coming in contact with his boyfriend's knee but Eiryk happily accepted that for now.
"And... coffee... you in coffee... early...."

Alex chuckled as Eiryk actually regressed from forming a coherent sentence to making no sense at all. He lifted Thora and held her so she couldn't bother the waking vampire, chastising her gently.
"Hush, you just ate. Let Eiryk wake up and he'll play with you."
Alex set the kit aside on the bed and lay next to Eiryk, gathering the blond to him and snuggling him close. "Do me, huh?"
All right, he could be convinced to kiss Eiryk awake - it hardly took the twist of an arm after all. Alex tilted Eiryk's chin up and kissed him softly once again, prolonging it and dragging it out, waiting for Eiryk to respond as he knew he would, shortly.

Eiryk could feel Alex moving and he knew when Alex kissed him. It took a few seconds for that to get through his sleep addled brain, but when it did though he went from being a passive participant to an active one. Slowly Eiryk started to ask more and more of Alex's kiss and gradually he began to explore, tease and torment.
Pulling himself to his knees Eiryk pushed Alex back among the pillows and straddled the man. His hands started to wander and some where along the line he pinned both of Alex's hands above his head. Eiryk was just starting to think of several delicious things he could do at this point when...
[Eiryk! Play! Eat!]
He groaned and collapsed back on Alex.
"Yes I thought that is what I was going to do."
He said aloud. While Alex couldn't hear Thora Eiryk was working on making sure his boyfriend could hear at least one side of the conversation, responding both verbally and mentally at the same time. He also hoped that Thora would learn some language and at least be able to understand Alex.
The kit laughed at him.
[Me! Not Alex, me.]
"It isn't time for you to eat. Alex fed you didn't he."

This was definitely his favorite way to wake Eiryk up... and he had it on good authority that it was Eiryk's favorite way to be woken. Alex grinned as, after a few minutes of sleepy but surprisingly focused foreplay, he was flipped onto his back and pinned.
Apparently, though, there was one personality in the bedroom who didn't approve. Eiryk groaned and flopped onto Alex, who immediately dropped his arms and wrapped them around Eiryk.
From the little bit of conversation he had gotten and Thora's insistent yipping, he could pretty easily guess what had happened. Alex laughed sympathetically and splayed his hands over Eiryk's back, rubbing gently and nuzzling into his boyfriend's neck.
"How do you like being a mom?"

"It is a very good thing she is cute."
Eiryk groused. He twisted about so he could better see their 'daughter'. Any time Eiryk moved there was a good chance he would fall out of bed, but he had total faith in Alex's ability to catch him.
"You are lucky you're too young for me to give twenty bucks to and tell you to go to the movies."
Thora apparently didn't understand that as she cocked her head at him before sitting down and scratching one ear.
[Play?]
Unable to resist Eiryk picked her up and set her in his lap softly stroking the tiny head.
"We can play. How about hide and seek? You hide and we'll seek."
That might be dirty pool but unless Thora caught on Eiryk didn't see the harm.

Alex kept one arm tight around Eiryk's waist when his boyfriend turned to address the little fox kit. Eiryk would certainly survive a fall, but Thora might get squished in the mayhem.
"You're the one who wanted to keep her," he pointed out with a cheerful smile. He knew Eiryk's threats were hollow and likely so did Thora even at her young age.
When Eiryk straightened again the little animal was in his lap. Eiryk's suggested game made Alex laugh but he poked Eiryk gently in the side.
"We can play with her," he suggested, "and then we can play our own games."
They had learned over the past couple of days that Thora might play like crazy but after that, she slept like crazy. The easiest way to get some relief was to give in to her and play a game. She liked to tug like a dog, and she seemed to like to fetch too. She was very smart, even for as tiny as she was.

"All right, all right, not hide and seek. We'll play that when you're older."
They would have to teach her how to hunt and be a fox at some point. Not Eiryk planed on returning Thora to the wild, but he wanted her to be a fox, not a cat or a dog or a baby.
Getting out of, OK falling out of bed, Eiryk disappeared into the living room and dug around a bit finding a cat toy he'd picked up for her the other night. It was basically a feather on a string, but it would let her stalk and pounce on it.
Eiryk handed it over to Alex to tease Thora with. He worked hard to build the relationship between Alex and Thora especially as Alex couldn't speak to her as he could.
"We'll have to take her over to the towers this weekend. She'll like the windows."
Although Alex's place had some decent views and a lot more happened on the third floor than the twelfth but some how Eiryk thought she'd like looking down on things.

Alex followed Eiryk out into the living room, taking the cat toy from Eiryk and dangling it for Thora as he went over to sit on the couch. He understood the reason Eiryk wanted him to play with Thora so often; obviously she clung to Eiryk. Eiryk was the one ho spoke to her. But his boyfriend wanted Alex to be close to the little kit as well. Alex thought they were well on their way already; Alex did feed her several times throughout the day. But he liked playing with her and he wanted to please Eiryk as well.
She was very cute and clever with her paws as she pounced like a kitten at the toy Alex dragged along the cushion of the couch next to him. He let her catch the toy a few times and tugged it just out of reach others.
Smiling at Eiryk, he said, "That will be good. She'll like it there."
Thora tired of the toy quickly enough but Alex had other means by which to distract the kit. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a laser pointer, flashing it onto the cushion to catch her attention and then moving it out onto the living room floor for her to chase which she did with enthusiasm.
"Saturday night, then? Don't forget we have a date with Rowan and Christian. Something about you. And an axe."

"She's going to turn into quite the adventurer. A very well traveled kit."
Maybe in a few weeks or a month they could try putting her on a leash. That would interesting, they could take her to the preserve let her stay in touch with her natural environment.
He watched Alex play with the laser pointer and it looked like fun. Unfortunately he had a tenancy to get the laser in his eye. Granted it wasn't a permanent injury, but it hurt so he tried to avoid it.
"Damned it, I forgot that. I'll need to clean it, probably ought to bring a sword or two knowing Rue and his tendency to gravitate to fine blades."
Eiryk wrinkled his nose. He'd learned how to fence but he'd never been really good at it, he'd never really enjoyed it.
"You were planning on playing too weren't you? We ought to get you some equipment."
Not necessarily the blade but mask, vest, gloves you know safety stuff. Any injury he Rue or Christian picked up would heal. They also had a lot of experience. Alex was lacking both in experience and regenerative capabilities.
[Eiryk!]
Thora's voice caught him off guard.
"What little one?"
[Catch it! I want it. It gets away.]
Thora pounced at the red dot again and it escaped. Eiryk couldn't help but laugh.
"You are driving her crazy."

Alex chuckled at Eiryk. "So... what you're saying is, she's Thora the Explorer?"
He laughed at the idea and considered a fox-sized back pack. While Eiryk considered weaponry Alex continued to dart the laser pointer around.
"Yeah I was going to come, but I thought I'd just watch. And distract you with random yoga poses. I don't know anything about it yet. I'll play after a few lessons. If I like it I'll look into some equipment."
He didn't stop with the laser as he listened to Eiryk's half of the conversation. When Eiryk told him he was driving Thora crazy Alex paused. "Good crazy or bad crazy?"
He didn't want to torment her; if it wasn't any fun for Thora he would find another toy.

That name sounded oddly familiar but Eiryk couldn't quite place it. Obviously it meant something to Alex who was amused by it. He cocked his head in question at his boyfriend, unconsciously mirroring one of Thora's expressions.
"That is a good name for her."
The thought of distracting yoga poses was... yeah... distracting.
"You mess with me too bad and I might lose an eye or get a sword through my heart and that will put a crimp in the rest of our evening."
Thora was still trying to get the red dot, she was a determined little thing. Alex's concern was touching.
"What if you can't catch it?"
[Will!]
"What if you can't, should Alex take it away? It doesn't ever have to bother you again."
[No! Must... will...]
Eiryk watched amused as she tried stalking and then pouncing still to no avail. When Alex stopped she turned and looked to them expectantly.
[More.]
"I'd say good crazy." Eiryk said with a low chuckle.
"That is a good name for her."

Eiryk's caution made him raise his brows. "You don't use practice blades? You're going to fence with, how do they put it? Live steel? That seems dangerous. Even if you can regrow most of it."
Thora continued to race after the laser light, pouncing, spinning, and leaping. Eiryk said she seemed to enjoy it so Alex continued, trailing the light as far away as he could so the little kit had to run. The sooner she was worn out, the sooner he could drag Eiryk back to bed and have his way with him.
Bwahahaha, or something like that.

"What? We were explorers! Who do you think found America and don't say Columbus."
The man was an idiot. Eiryk had not met him but had just never been impressed with his 'discovery'. There were other explorers who had been much better at their jobs.
OK it wasn't the best idea ever to play with live steel even when you were a vampire. He did have to give Alex that.
"Maybe, we'll see what the others want to do. It isn't as bad as it sounds if everyone knows what they are doing. We wouldn't start you out that way though."
They could use practice blades, but they never felt right to Eiryk. He'd be more inclined to use live steel with a blunt edge.
Thora's running and pouncing was slowing down a little but she wasn't giving up. No wonder she'd not been dead when they'd found her, she was a stubborn little thing, but she seemed happy with them.

Alex blinked at Eiryk. "Columbus has nothing to do with it."
Well, it might be too much to expect that Eiryk had ever heard of a certain animated Latina child. He grinned at the misunderstanding. "I know you have more than a passing acquaintance with google. I suggest you look up Dora the Explorer."
He wasn't going to point out that America was clearly discovered by several thousand paleo-Americans long before there were vikings. Alexander had always found it interesting, though, that history discussed the "discovery of America" as if there hadn't been an indigenous population already well in place.
He smiled at Eiryk, full of trust. "I didn't expect you would start me out that way," he said. "Rowan mentioned something about exercises to do before I even got to hold a sword."
That was fine by him. You didn't learn anything, really, but jumping in feet first on day one.
"We'll see how it goes," he sad, lifting his shoulders. "I'm okay with the distraction factor."

He raised a quizzical eyebrow at Alex. Dora the Explorer. OK he'd bite, lord only knew what Alex was up to with that little tidbit but he was on it.
Grinning at that obvious statement Eiryk relaxed a bit.
"Rue would say that. He's got a good head on his shoulders for all he was a pirate."
Once in a while Eiryk wondered who his friend had been before they met. Sometimes Eiryk thought perhaps the red head had a kinder gentler life than the one he'd been thrust into. Regardless, he was a good friend.
Distractions and sword play left Eiryk only one way to go and he leered at Alex.
"I have a sword you can hold right now. That should be distracting."
And so was Thora stretching to put her front paws on his knee and yawning at him, apparently she was tired now.

"It seemed like a sound method... don't give the kid anything pointy and sharp until he stands a chance at not skewering himself with it. I can handle that," Alex said, laughing.
Eiryk's blatant come-on had him grinning all the more; he knew Eiryk did it on purpose. He'd seen his boyfriend be subtle and delicate, but every now and then he did this, this adorable leer with the not-so-subtle line. Alex found it adorable. And irresistible. He put the laser pointer away, seeing that Thora was just about done in, and moved over to Eiryk.
"It's plenty distracting," he assured Eiryk. "Are you offering to give me my first lesson? Rowan might be surprised."
He chuckled at the visual that evoked and pressed up against Eiryk, wrapping his arms around him and drawing him close, mindful of not jostling Thora.
"I guess the kit's ready for her nap now. I wonder what we can do while she's sleeping? Got any good movies?"

Like he needed any encouragement at all. Eiryk went right for Alex's neck nipping lightly, no fangs just right then. Right now this was just gentle foreplay.
"Private lessons."
He murmured into Alex's neck as he softly kissed his way from one side to the other.
"Rowan doesn't get these, I'm a jealous man."
