Volcano Pack:                 

Akio wasnt buying it however, and was rather confused at his lie this time "What do you mean? You were still asleep though... there was no way you could have planned this out in yoru sleep... Ber.. what happened..." Akio asked again gently. Leading the male now to a place he could sit that wasnt strewn with broken glass and a ruined  couch. Akio still seemed worried Genuinely worrid for Ber which if the male notice could impact him quite a bit and make it even harder to keep up his rapidly deforming story

Ber pursed his lips, then cracked a smile when he noticed Akio's half nude state again. "Shouldn't you put some clothes on? I don't know if I feel too comfortable getting sentamental with a guy that can't keep his pants on." Ber laughed at his own lame joke.

Akio blushed a bit and quickly retreated to his room for a few moments before coming back in a teeshirt and shorts nearly stumbleing obver the baseball bat he had dropped moments before. It was cute how he actualy thought Ber was serious just then. But Akio still wanted to know what happened "Seriously Ber.. can you tell me..? I know i didnt get robbed.. the doors are locked and the windows are shut... Was it a bad dream or something?" Akio asks softly. Ber could make a little game out of it if he wished. although it was nearly breakfast too there wouldnt be a point in going back to sleep now

"Don't worry about it, Akio. It's really not that big of a deal." Ber replied with a shrug. Honestly, he didn't mind getting so personal with Akio, but he wasn't about to start sharing his night terrors with anyone so readily."Besides, It's like three am. Don't you wanna get back to bed?"

"Well.. you kinda trashed my living room up a bit from it but.. fine.." Akio reluctantly gave up before shaking hsi head "Im fine.. besides i gotta clean all this up.." He murmers gently before sweaping up the shattered glass and tossing the broken table outside before draging the couch out to join it in the trash before returning to the living room rubbing his eyes a bit as he sort of searched for what to say but came up empty.. eventhough akio did seem tired he didnt wanna go back to sleep yet

Ber sighed as he stood and began cleaning up his own mess. "No, it's okay. I can clean up after myself." He retorted a little colder than intended. "I mean... I might as well. I'm already up and I got time before I have to get back to... the others." He finished lamely.

Akio helped anyway wondering if he had done something to upset Ber "The others..? It sounds like you dont like your job too much..." Akio murmers softly and surprised Ber with a gentle hug once the mess was delt with tryign his best to cheer him up

Avoiding eyecontact, Ber spoke with his head down. "Yeah... the other vamps I've been mooching off of. My mentor'll be pissed if I don't show up bright and early this morning. Not to mention, I don't need them asking me questions about where I've been all night. The less they know, the better." He admited in a borde, slightly annoyed tone. Not so much at Akio, but more so at how dumb he'd been the past couple of hours.

(Aww.. he having regrets?) Akio frowned a bit "I could come with you if you like" He offered softly "I can tell you dont really like these guys... or atleast dont wanna head overthere if you dong have to so maybe i can make it a bit more bearable for you if i tag along. It couldnt hurt.. could it?

Ber offered Akio a smile before he shrugged. "If you wanna come with, I suppose. They shouldn't have a problem with you." He thought it over for a moment before adding "And if they do have a problem, they're gonna have to get over it, I guess." 

Akio gave a smile and seemed quite happy that he could tag along if he wished. Expectng Ber would have said no "They wont have a problem that im a human?" Akio asks as he glanced over at the clock "And what time did you need to head overthere anyway?

Damon, the second in command of the Broken and Forsaken gang, made his way over to where he had tracked his new apprentice down, grumbling something obscene as he walked, hands in his pockets, the male, though of average height, presenting an intimidating image. Cut all in black, he blended with the shadows, and his eyes, a blood red when he was in his vampiric form and mode, chilled bypassers to the bone, as did the snarling curl of his lip, displaying the fashion of his sharply edged fangs, the dark spikes that were his hair reflecting his short tempered and angst like personality, his body radiating tension, his muscles pulled taut and his form tight, his stride short and clipped. It took him no time at all to find the place, having been able to follow his Sire's directions to a tee, though he had to admit, he would rather be out and about right now that babysitting the new guy. As second in command, Damon had things to do, and tasks to attend to. He supposed Ber would simply have to come along and observe...quietly. Damon would not tolerate any mouth or pesky, stupid questions, his short supply of patience already taxed this night after the occurrence of an encounter he'd had with Aphrodite's dog, Attila's great, slobbering face having humiliated him with the ultimate defacement of canine saliva painting his flesh. A vision and sensation that still made him shudder. He preferred cats. Wild, feral beasts who were more than capable of taking care of themselves. Making his way up to the house, the vampire made an inspection of the place, his keen nose telling him there were two beings within, yes, but was one of them really Ber? After all, Damon had never met the man, and was not sure of his scent. He didn't even bother to knock, however, as he reserved such respect and courtesy for those of the gang who did not irritate him or force him to track them down just to accomplish a task. It seemed there was a lesson here to learn. Leaning silently in the doorway, nothing to reveal his presence other than an expanse of blackened shadow, Damon went unnoticed for several minutes, until the smooth roll of his handsome voice drew the necessary attention, the soft scrawl of a Southern drawl evident in the underlying hints of his tone. His skin was pale, like the rest of his race, and currently his eyes remained their usual demonic, blood red the shade of scarlet, the crimson hue glittering coldly in the darkness. His lean, muscled figure was clad in a midnight dress shirt, the low v of its cut revealing a soft expanse of muscled chest, his black slacks and dark dress shoes cutting a striking figure. His face had the chiseled features of one of the Greek gods, but his hair was dark instead of fair, and by his stature, his rigid posture, one could guess that he was one of the higher ranking members of the gang, the method in which he carried himself revealing an aura of confidence and deadly predatory instincts. Though he was slightly calmer (if more irritiable) with Aphrodite, without her, Damon was far more intimidating. And far more frightening to the humans who beheld the animalistic nature of the vampiric "prince" of the underworld. "Well, well, isn't that just fucking adorable? The fresh meat's found himself a plaything already."

When Ber heard Damon's voice, his smile spread wider across his face as if he'd just experianced the birth of his first born son. When he turned to face his mentor, the young vampire nearly drooled as he eyed the handsome man standing just beyond the shadows. His bright green gaze floated over every chiseled feature Damon possessed like a hungry lion in the midst of the hunt. "My my, did it just get hotter in here, or do I sense a stud?" He purred. "Demon, I was just about to come find you but it seems the fates have decided upon a different course of action." Throwing a glance over his shoulder, Ber adressed the elephant in the room that was dear Akio. "Ah yes. This is my new mount, Akio. I met him just a few hours ago, but unfortunately we haven't had the chance to play this new riveting game the humans like to call 'anal'." He said rather bluntly as if talking about something totally normal and pg13.

Akio at first felt a pang of jelously hit him seeing the way Ber was eyeing up Damon like he was getting ready to try and hunt him down like he did Akio. Then he blushed a bit surprised at Ber speaking about such matters so calmly.. yet.. it sorta got Akio a bit more eager to be Ber's. Although now the human was worrying he may have compitition.. "Oh you had a chance to Bery" He replyed with a bit of a grin as he stayed close to Ber. "Is this the mentor you spoke about?" Akio asked his tone going from suggestive and teaseing to curious and a tad jelous. something they might pick up on

Damon raised a brow nonchalantly, not even flinching as Ber's eyes traveled over him - it unnerved him, yes, but Damon was quite adept at concealing such, and was more prone to showing his irritation and agitation than he was to anything else. Besides, he had Aphrodite, and even though the two were not yet a couple, Damon could sense the growing connection he held with the unique blend of emotion and curious mannerisms that were his partner of a healer, and he knew the Sire approved - he could sense it vaguely, though he hadn't the slightest clue she was setting up the blonde female and raven haired vampire she had come to view as a son up on purpose. "The only thing you sense is your own insanity," Damon calmly replied, curling his lip slightly to reveal the glistening curve of his fangs. "As for your games, I could care less, just make sure to keep your newfound puppy on a leash. If he becomes a threat to our organization, I shall be forced to deal with the liability." Damon's keen red eyes flashed onto Akio, perhaps causing the more submissive male to shudder in fright and shrink behind the more masculine and protective form that was Ber's. The look in those eyes was not friendly, nor was it particularly kind. Damon was an angry creature, and one who held the world as if there were a grudge he had not moved on from, and one from which he might not ever fully recover. But then, perhaps Aphrodite could help him with that...if he ever worked up the courage to speak to her about it that was. However, he sensed that they were not yet there in their relationship (if one could call it that), and so for the moment, kept the reasons behind his short temper and hot headed nature a briskly guarded and well kept secret. It was apparent there was an underlying promise...or if one chose to view it in such a manner, a rather apparent threat.

Ber waved a hand in the air as if swatting away Damon's lame seriousness. "Oh don't you worry your handsome, well groomed head, my lord~" He reasured, putting an arm around Akio's shoulders, sensing a twinge of his jealousy. It was a jesture to let him know Ber wasn't about to serously fawn over Damon in place of him. "I may be a tad insane, but if I felt as if your organization was being compromised, I would have finished off this human the moment my chance came about." He sang as if they weren't speaking of Akio's demise lest he decide to blab about the vampires' opperation. 

Akio felt a bit better feeling Ber's arm drawing him close causeing him to smile a bit. He did feel rather bad for thinking Ber wasnt loyal.. althogh Akio wasnt even sure where they stood in their relatonship.. Last he had heard Ber refered to him as a friend with benefits.. which.. Akio didnt mind. Although he did wish to advance that to gain the title of Ber's boyfriend.. and toy at the same time if the male felt Akio deserved both. Akio didnt flinch away too much which could prove to be surprising. perhaps he was trying to act tough infront of Ber.. or perhaps he felt confident as long as he didnt fuck around he wouldnt have his life in danger "I did wish to come with Ber if that isnt an issue.. im not stupid anything i hear wont be repeated again." He kept calm.. almost as if he had done something like this before.. could  cause suspicion if Damon realised Akio was being a bit too relaxed, calm and used to this kind of stuff. he still kept close to Ber however. Enjoying the protective aura the male held for him... wondering just how far their blossoming relationship was going to go.. There could be an upside for having a human working for them as well besides the ever useful snack. Not many humans would work with them and those who do generaly wanted to be turned. Akio would never be picked out by police as an accomplice to the gang making him useful for carrying sensitive items.. (i so want them to use akio as a package deliverer. xD

"I better be on my best behavior then.." Akio commented as he listened to what the two planned wondering just exactly what the hell Ber had gotten himself into. Of course once damon was gone Akio would inquire why Ber didnt just leave the gang he was in as Akio sensed he didnt realy enjoy being in it. "Its no problem if I come along right?" He asks, and seeing as he was Ber's responceability it was left up to him
