1x1 w/ Anna and Echo

[AnnaCat17]

Ricky blinked in shock at the kiss but quickly stumbled to his feet. "Do not go ask her for help! She is just going to make things worse and i want nothing to do with her!"

Alex smiled and kissed the back of his neck. "Ive missed being close to you, jace. I dont like how much time we spent apart."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Lie back down," he told him, not bothering to turn to look at him as he walked to the door. "How can she possibly make things any worse? You're on your deathbed."

Jace sighed. "Me neither." He closed his eyes happily as he enjoyed the kisses and attention.

Ricky rolled his eyes but sat back dpwn. "Please, my deathbed will be made of gold, not oak." He didnt want anything to do with death. He was scared of the act of dieing more, though, since he knew he couldnt trick hos way out of it anymore. He laid back down amd held saige in hos arms, letting her presence calm him down.

Eira hurried after fade quickly as he wemt outside. "Why did you kiss him?"

Alex turned him around so jace was facing him. He examined jace's face carefully, taking in the look in his eyes and the curve of his mouth as his mind spun with thoughts. "What if he wants you to move here?"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade rolled his eyes, but was relieved he lied back down. He left the house, shoving his hands into his pockets. "I don't know. I...just kind of felt bad, and he looked awful...." Fade shook his head, picking up the pace. "Forget it. Anyways, you should head back to the house. I need to talk to Death."

Jace wrapped his arms around him, pulling him closer. "I'd only move here if you would be coming with me."

"He said not to mess with her." She quickly grabbed his wrist and tried to pull him to a stop. "I wont let you become a slsce again just to hp someone who doesn't even care about you."

Alex's heart tried to swell with happiness but his mind beat it dlwn as his elven side kicked in. "Jace... You need to do whatever is best for you and your future."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"I wasn't a slave! She just kept me there until Ricky came to get me." He yanked his wrist out of her grip. "You said he was fond of me..." He hated the desperation in his voice. "Look, I'm not letting him die. Now get out of my way."

"And you're what's best for me and my future," he teased, kissing his nose.

[AnnaCat17]

"Why do you even care about him!" She snapped, her anger hiding how terrified she was she was going to lose him. "Even if he is your dad he was never there for you! What if death decides you have to die on his place? What am i... What am i supposed to tell your girlfriend if you go and get yoursf killed?"

Alex smiled faintly but the war continued to rage inside of him. He pulled jace into his arms, hugging him tightly.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade flinched a bit as she yelled. "She might not kill me. And besides, he has a kid and a wife. She's just a girlfriend I met not that long ago. She doesn't need me, but Ricky's family needs him."

Jace smiled, happily kissing him as he hugged him back. "Let's go take a walk," he suggested, eager to see everything.

[AnnaCat17]

Eira glared at him but as she felt herself about to break down she turned away from him. "Whatever. See if i care." She said bitterly before storming off.

Alex nodded and let go of Jace, allowing him to lead him off.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade watched her walk away, his eyes narrowed. He couldn't understand why she was so angry at him about this. He made his way to Death's house to see if he could make a deal with her.
