A mortal in the Band (Closed)

[Asa]

A softly chuckled "stubborn vampire" from Luna as she continued to drive them to the next destination.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He was on a stage, it was not familiar, but the people were screaming his name as he played. Eden's voice came over the speakers, soft and melodic, melting into the music. The crowd was . . . human. They all smelled like blood and he could hear their heartbeats over the music. He could feel the need to feed, he was not ready for this amount of humanity, the beast was thirsty . . . but it always had been there. The older he had become, the more he learned to control it. The control was not a fight, it was a co-existence.

The stage changed, and turned into a meadow, with soft grass, and a pleasantly warm breeze. Eden was there with him, this was the first time they had kissed and in his dream, he smiled.

 

[Asa]

Luna drove as the others all slept. A couple of other cars close by as well in case of problems.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He shifted around a few times in his sleep and woke up when the bus came to a stop. Feeling a bit bleary, he looked around, remembered where they were, and noticed that the sun was busy setting. He got up out of his seat and stretched as best he could, his back cracking as he yawned softly.

 

[Asa]

Luna nodded to him seemed pleasant dreams my friend... for both of you.

She pointed to their still sleeping fearless leader with a soft smile on her lips.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He chuckled

"I dreamed of music and of her, so yes, it was quite good dreams."

He peered at the road stretching out in front of them, lights twinkling in the distance as dark started to settle.

"About an hour or so?"

 

[Asa]

Roughly.

Luna nodded. Then another hour from then to the gig.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He nodded

"Two hours, good enough. Gives me time to explore the bus a bit, it sure looks different from the last one."

He gave her a grin and then moved towards the back of the bus, looking around him as he moved

 

[Asa]

Luna nodded to him and smiled as she drove.

Explore all you want Alex can teach you as you go.

 

[TertiusHuman]

The trip down the back of the bus did not take too long, but by the time he returned, he had a good idea of the layout, and of course, Eden was awake. He smiled when he saw her open eyes, "Hey there pretty lady."

 

[Asa]

She smiled to him.

Well hello. Did you sleep at all?

She knew him well and knew he would fight the sleep if he felt there was risk reason enough to do so.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He grinned at her

"Of course, had to keep you company or else you'd wander around looking for me."

He gave her a wink and leaned in to kiss her gently

 

[Asa]

Kissing him tenderly she reached a hand to his cheek and stared into his eyes with a single whispered.

Beloved.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He smiled at her and turned his head to gently kiss the palm of her hand

"My only."

He motioned with his head

"Come with me."

 

[Asa]

She moved to walk with him.

Yes love?

 

[TertiusHuman]

He took her hand and led her into the small bathroom which housed the shower, he looked back at her

"I just love this new technology, a shower on a bus."

He grinned like an excited kid at Christmas

 

[Asa]

Yes but probably way too small for one of our showers... she winked loving his happiness and enthusiasm

 

[TertiusHuman]

He gave her a grin

"One of those showers might just break this shower."

He leads her further back into the bus, revealing a sleeping area with a television mounted on the one panelled wall

"And why are we not using this, but sleeping in seats?"

 

[Asa]

Old habits I guess and all of us in one bed might be a little strange.

She chuckled.

We have all sat back there and watched a movie before or acoustic session to write.

 

[TertiusHuman]

"Ah, so once I returned, you decided that it is a good thing to remind me of our humble beginnings."

He nudged her playfully, then wrapped an arm around her waist and leaned in to kiss her once more, resting his forehead against her's.

"I don't think I will ever take for granted just this simple act of being able to hold you and kiss you."

 

[Asa]

No... just never felt right to sleep back here... without you.

She curled against him and smiled huggingnhim close kissing him tenderly.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He returned her tender kiss, stroking his hand over her hair. When the kiss broke, he smiled at her

"I bet that if we behave, we can actually both fit into that shower. Want to be a bit adventurous and find out?"

 

[Asa]

Of course lover.

She winked turning to lock the door behind them

 

[TertiusHuman]

He chuckled and started to slip out of his clothing, he knew that the others heard them and also knew that they were turning a blind eye as long as it didn't endanger the family. And he was quite sure that having a shower with his beautiful soul partner was way up on the list of things not dangerous. Well unless they lose control and the shower actually gets broken.

 

[Asa]

Slipping from her clothes she smiled to him. She had missed this so much and to have him back once more truly and fully this time was wonderful.
