Seth smiled as he open the door to his Two bedroom apartment.Swinging the door shut he made his way into the middle of the room placing his guitar soflty on the couch that oppsite the TV.He headed for the Kitchen turning on the lights as he went.Bou was on his way over.The snow leopard was moving in with him so that he wouldn't have to be alone in that hotel.Seth felt alot better knowing that Bou would be in the same place that his maker left him if he for some reason chose to come back and try to get the kitten to follow.After grabbing a cold drink he made his way back into the living room glancing around making sure everything looked tidy and clean.


The room was done in light yellows and creams.Not something he would have chosen really but he thought it went well with the wood trim.He glanced over at his tv eyeing the dvd player he had manged to buy earlier in the day.He had gotten some help actually having called Kestral and have her pick one up and set if up for him while he was at practice.Nodding his head Seth grabbed the guitat off the couch and headed to the extra bedroom to put it up.

Bou hopped off the elevator and walked towards the number scrawled on the piece of paper Seth had given him. He had a bag on his shoulder and another in his hand, holding the clothes he owned and a few personal possessions. He looked around at the door numbers until he found the one Seth lived in. Smiling giddily, the small snowleopard walked up to the door and knocked on it, hiking his bag onto his shoulder as he waited for Seth to open up.

Seth was half way though his second soda when a knock at the door made him glance up from his cd collection.Over 200 cd's, mostly rock sat piled in little stacks around him in one of the corners of the living room.Rising he smoothed down the red jeans and made his way to the door.He risked one more glance before opening the door.He almost never check the peep hole but noe that the thought had occered to him he made the mental note to do it more often.


A smiled settled on his face as he opened the door and spotted Bou.He had a small bag that was resting on his shoulder.He hadn't expected the blonde to have much in the way of stuff but he had been expecting more for some reason. He pushed back the tiny flare of anger at Bou's maker for leaving with so little.The least the perv could have done was buy the Snow Leopard a cell phone.Seth quickly decided to buy the tiny blonde something cute to carry around on him.


"Hey Sweet.Is that all you have?" Seth asked stepping though the door and wrapped one arm around Bou's waist before tugging him closer.He snffed the side of Bou;s neck before planting a soft kiss on his lips.

"Yup, just these two bags," Bou smiled as he looked up at Seth, tilting his head back and fully expecting a kiss on the lips from the lion, which the tiny leopard got, "I didn't have much...mainly clothes...Alejandro always told me to pack light since we never knew when we'd have to move quickly." The small cat smiled and shrugged a bit, then looked around the apartment. "This place is amazing, Seth...so much bigger than my hotel room..."

Seth placed on of his hands in Bou's and gently tugged him in though the door.He glanced out before pulling the door shut behind them.sterring Bou to the middle of the room he pointed down the hallway.

"My bed room is the first door in the right,Bathroom isthe first door on the left and the spare room is the one on the end of the hall.I have my band stuff in that room."

Seth wasn't to sure if Bou would want to share a room or start out with his own so he had made the spare bed and tryed to keep all his stuff mostly in one corner of the room.He laid a kiss on the leopard forehead."Your more than welcome to unpack your stuff in my room.Did you want something to drink."

"Anything to drink would be good," Bou smiled as he walked towards Seth's room to unpack his clothing, "Thanks, Seth...really...for letting me move in and everything..." Bou grinned as he set his bags down on the bed and started pulling out clothes. Most of them were female clothes...but some were faded and ripped jeans, some with brown splotches of old blood splattered on them. Bou didn't realize that having bloodstains was anything bad, it was normal for him...and these jeans were comfortable.

Seth let out a silent sigh as he watched Bou head straight for his bedroom andn ot for the spare one.Smiling at his chance of luck he headed to the kitchen and pulled out two glasses.Setting them on the small four person table he retraced hissteps and grabbed a couple cans of Moutain Dew out of his fridge.He hummed as he poured the soda into ice filled glasses and sat down waiting for Bou to head back out this way.



Dinner was about an hour away but he hadn't cooked anything wanting to see if there was something Bou would preffer.Seth wasn't a great cook but could mange some pretty tastey stuff on his own.Taking a sip of his drink he let himself think of different dishs you could try out now that he didn't live alone.

"I'm done," Bou smiled as he stepped out of the bedroom. The small leopard had changed into a pair of his favorite jeans and a t-shirt. The jeans were ripped in a few places, faded on the knees and backside, and had a few brown splotches on them. The t-shirt was loose-fitting, dark blue in color, and had "Don't Flatter Yourself, I Was Looking At Your Friend" in white letters across the front.

"Thanks, Seth," the small cat said as he took the glass of soda and plopped down across the table from the lion, smiling widely, "For the soda and for letting me move in...it was rather lonely at that hotel room all by myself."

Seth tilted his head as he heard Bou make his way down the hallway and then appeared in the doorway of the Kitchen.He offered a smile as the leopard took the seat across from him and grabbed his drink.The saying on his shirt made Seth chuckle and he took a sip of his soda.

"How long had you been alone before you decided to go to the beach?" Seth asked tapping now blue painted nails against the table top.He shrugged off the welcome."Im glad you moved in".

"About a week," Bou replied, kicking his legs slightly as he sat across the table from Seth, "It was very lonely and I was actually scared to come outside of the hotel...I'd never been out without Alejandro before, I didn't know what to expect...But eventually I knew I had to go out because the food we had in the room was running out and I had to go shopping..." Bou blushed and smiled at Seth. "I'm glad I finally came out, though...The world's not as scary as I imagined."

Seth reached out a hand to Bou when he mentioned that he had only been in town for a week by himself.he had been postive that the leopard was gonna say that he had been left alone for alot longer than that.It wasn't as bad as he thoughthe mused running a thumb over the back of Bou's hand.

"I haven't made any plans for dinner yet.I wanted to see if there was anything that you would like to have" Seth admitted looking up into Bou's dark eyes.He twisted the glass around in his other hand waiting for the blonde to suggest something.He might have to make a run to the store depending on what Bou wanted.

Bou smiled and took the hand, then stood and walked around the table to Seth's side, grinning as he slid into the lion's lap, straddling him, legs dangling above the floor. The small snowleopard threw his arms around Seth's shoulders, leaning in and kissing him softly.

"I'm all for whatever you want to cook, Seth," Bou smiled, giving him another small, soft kiss, purring lightly, "I love fried Ramen noodles...been about the only thing I can cook..."

Seth was pleased when he suddenly had a lap full of leopard.He rested his hands on the legs that were now curled around him and petted him gently.He leaned forward in to the kiss barely hearing the words that Bou offered when he mentioned what he wanted for dinner.Pulling back from the kiss Seth rubbed his face against the side of Bou's neck.

"How do you fry Ramen noddles?" Seth asked still running his hands over Bou's legs.He gave a tug making sure they were as close together as they could be."I have stuff to make stir fry,Taco's and Ham sandwichs.Or if you want we can go to Quinn's Diner for Dinner.Im sure he'd be happy to see you." Seth laid a soft kiss on the side of Bou's neck.

"Ramen noodles come fried," Bou giggled softly as Seth rubbed his face against his neck, purring at the kisses and wiggling as close as he could to the lion he was sitting on, "All you gotta do is boil them and add the seasoning...very yummy and cheap." The small cat purred and nuzzled Seth behind his ear, kissing the skin and nipping at the lobe.

"We can go out to Quinn's place...I haven't been there yet," Bou said, his voice purring as he didn't stop kissing the lion along his neck and jaw.

Seth moved his hands from Bou's legs to his back.He rubbed small soothing circles on the leopard's back as he listened to the soft voice of the blonde.He was already nodding when Bou agreed to go to Quinn's saying he hadn't been there yet.He had manged to find the diner after a week of take out food.He was surprised to say the least,to find out that a Lycan owned the Diner.Meeting Quinn had been cool and scary at the same time considering he quickly found out how much the Enforcer disliked Vampires.


Bringin his mind back to dinner Seth closed his eyes and purred when Bou nipped at his earlobe.Enjoying the feel of being wrapped up in leopard Seth smiled even though he knew Bou wouldn't be able to see it.Not wanting to rush anything he leaned backwards as Bou softly kissed his neck.Gazing in the blonde's eyes Seth was overwhelmed by a sense of happiness and snagged the blonde in another kiss tangling his hands in Bou's hair.

Bou purred and wiggled slightly in Seth's lap as he kissed the lion back, feeling the hands in his hair. His inner cat was almost thrumming with happiness at the touch of another lycanthrope. The small cat wound his arms around Seth's shoulders, kissing the lion in a gentle, yet deep kiss.

Finally, Bou pulled back from Seth's kiss, though it was slow and hesitant, and smiled at the lion, dark eyes staring up at him. "Maybe we should get going...I don't know what time Quinn's place closes." In truth, Bou didn't want to leave...he wanted to stay here and cuddle and kiss Seth all night long.

Seth almost leaned into Bou when he pulled away.He restrained himself and offered a smile at the tiny blonde still in his lap.He ran hishands though Bou's long blonde hair smoothing it down so he wouldn't have to brush it if he didn't want to.Settling his hands on Bou's shoulder he placed a kiss on his forehead.

"I'm ready whenever you are" Seth said,"I even got a dvd player for us to watch movies on afterwards".Seth glanced behind him to see the tv out of the corner of his eyes.His collection of movies rested in front of the tv in a blinder.

"Or we can come back and make-out heavily," Bou chuckled softly, leaning in and kissing Seth again, "Which is what I really wanna do right now...and it's so tempting...but I'm starving and I can only imagine that you are, too." Bou grinned and kissed Seth again, then resisted the temptation to deepen it and slid out of the lion's lap. "Should I change?"

Seth felt himself flush at the thought of making out with Bou all night long.He had a pretty strong will but even that might test him.He wouldn't push Bou for anything that he didn't think the blonde couldn't handle.Thinking very unsexy thought to help himself Seth got to his feet to follow the leopard.


Glacning at what Bou was wearing he slowly nodded."Maybe just the pants.I can smell the old blood on them so I'm sure Quinn will be able to,too.I like the shirt though". Seth grabbed his wallet of the counter and slipped it into his pocket.

"Oh..." Bou blinked a bit and looked down at his pants. He was a little surprised someone would make a comment about the bloodstains dotting the material. Bou had never assumed having them on your clothes was a bad or abnormal thing. "Okay, I think I got a clean pair without the blood on them..." The small blond turned and walked back into the bedroom to change. He came back out in a pair that was free of bloodstains and looked newer.

"I bought these just before Alejandro left...so I haven't had a chance to break them in," Bou told Seth, smiling as he took the lion's hand, "Let's get going...I'm so hungry I could eat a horse...Literally."

Seth smiled as Bou made his way out of the bedroom in a newer part of Jeans. He walked up and let the leopard slip his hand into his own.

"I'm not totally sure Quinn wouldn't grill out about the blood even if it is old.This way we can enjoy dinner with the Pard trying to ruin it...Well I'm sure Quinn would mean well though".


Seth tugged on Bou hand pulling him out of the front door making sure to look it behind him.He offered a nod to the next door neighbor as the young girl headed into her own apartment. He steered Bou towards the street hoping he didn't see the odd look his neighbor gave him.Hehad only been here about a month but he had never brought anyone home with him.Looking up and down the street he pointed to the North East corner of the next street.

"Quinn's is just down there.About a Five minute walk from here".

"He does seem rather protective of me," Bou replied as he followed Seth, his hand clasped easily in the lion's, "Though it's hard to see why...he barely knows me..." The small cat nodded at the point of direction and allowed the lion to lead him to the diner. "Quinn told Michael about Alejandro...called him a 'rogue'...Michael said to look for him, but I'm sure Alejandro is long gone by now..."

Seth tightened his grip onBou's hand ast hey made their way down the street.It made sense that Quinn was gonna go after Alejandro.The Pard wouldn't want any bad press coming their way if someone in Miami had made an underage shifter and then left him behind like an old toy he got bored with.Wrapping his arm around Bou he tugged the blonde in closer to him.


"I feel better knowing Quinn is on his trail.He might get lonely and try to make another kitten for himself to pay with."Seth mentioned brushing his shoulder against Bou's.He could see Quinn's place across the street now.

"Well, he's probably well out of Miami by now," Bou said, purring softly as he laid his head on Seth's shoulder, an arm looping around the lion's waist as the two started across the street towards a diner which the small cat could only assume was Quinn's place, "I don't expect Quinn to find him anytime soon...or ever...I doubt Alejandro's even in the United States anymore..."

Keeping a watchful eye out for Traffic Seth lead Bou across the street.He watched as a couple of people headed out of the Diner laughing about something or another.He tightened his grip on Bou as he lead him into the slightly dark diner.He stood in the doorway letting his eyes adjust.Spotting Quinn he waved as he waited to be seated.


"He's not the type that would come back for you? I know you said he wanted you to learn how to take care of yourself but does that mean he'll show back up?"

"I don't know," Bou replied as he stood inside the diner, "I mean, he might come back and he might not...but if he does come back, I'll have to go with him since he's my creator and cubs always do as their creators tell them to." That was another one of Alejandro's lessons to make his kitten do as told without questioning or arguing.

"Oh! Hi, Quinn!" Bou smiled and waved to the leopard.

Seth shuffled his feet as he waited for the waitress to show them to a seat.He watched as Bou spotted Quinn and started waving.He plastered a smile on his face when Quinn looked up to see what all the noise was about.Seth nodded at the young girl that showed up and smiled brightly at the boys.Moments later they were shown to a table in the corner.


Seth slipped in trying to ingore the twisty sinking feeling he had in the pit of his stomach.He didn't like the though that if Alejandro came back and didn't like seeing the blonde with someone else he would just take him away.He didn't know if the Pard would stop him if Bou was willing to go with him.He played with his knife as he listened to the pretty blonde rattle off the specials of the night.He asked for a Cup of Coffee while waiting to see what Bou would get.

"I'll have some warm milk and apple pie," Bou smiled at the woman as he placed his order, then looked across the table at Seth, reaching across and grabbing the lion's hands, "Let's not talk about Alejandro...chances are he's not gonna come back for me...I'm sure other creators never came back for their kittens." The small cat smiled at Seth, his silver-white leopard purring and rubbing against the lion, licking at the other cat's neck.

Quinn was in the middle of doing book with Chuck when the sense of leopard increased.It was followed by the scent of Lion so Quinn glanced around the diner trying to find the source.He didn't have to look past the door before he spotted what he was looking for.Standing just inside the double doors was Bou and Seth.Bou looked almost down right chipper while Seth suddenly looked uneasy.He offered a wave and a grin when Bou spotted him and waved frantically.

He watched as the pair got seated by Amy and then turned his attention back to his paper work.Moments later though the smell of fear and edgeyness had him looking over at the newest member of the Pard.The scent wasn't coming from him so that left Seth.Sighing he offered the books up to Chuck before heading over to the table.

"Hey there Boys.Up to anything fun ta night?"

"Oh, hi, Quinn," Bou smiled up at the man, "No...not much...We're just gonna eat, then go back to the apartment for some movie-watching." The small leopard's inner cat purred and nuzzled Seth's lion before it repeated the gesture to Quinn's leopard in greeting. "What about you? Anything other than work going on?"

Seth looked up startled when he heard the sound of Quinn's voice.He set the menu down on the table and rubbed a thumb over Bou's hand as he looked up at Quinn.So far as he knew this is the first time that the Enforcer had seen the two cats together.He wondered if he would get any speeches about not hurting the blonde.He offered a nod towards Quinn leaning forward against the table.

"Just keeping busy.Finally started getting a band together.Kyrain gonna be like our acting manger.He's finding a place for us to practice.Bou moved in with me today so i thought we'd grab diner before heading home to watch movies".


Seth let his lion purr at the attention the tiny snow leopard was showing him,he stayed behind the leopard when it approached Quinn's leopard.While both Bou and Seth's cat were on the small size Quinn's was normal and seemed to tower over the other two.

Bou's leopard purred softly as it rubbed against Quinn's leopard for a moment before returning to Seth's lion. The small, snowy cat purred loudly as he circled the small lion, rubbing against him before he flopped down on his side in front of the other cat. The small leopard leaned up and licked at the lion, purring and nuzzling under the other cat's jaw.

Quinn offered a smile at the tense look onSeth's face.It quickly disappeared when he started talking about his band.He had Kyrain as a manger.That worked out well Quiinn thought as he let his Leopard offer a rough lick to Bou before watching Seth.It'd make it easier to keep an eye out for the kitten if he had connections ,someone to keep an eye on Seth even if Bou wasn't with him at all times.

"Well I'll leave ya to your Dinner.Have fun Kiddies". Quinn offered a wave then headed back over to Chuck and his books.

Seth waved in return as Quinn headed back to whatever he was doing.He let out a little sigh as he returned to the menu.He was surprised that he had gotten off with no words of warning or anty threats to treat Bou right.Not that he would mistreat the leopard but Quinn seemed fiercely protective of the blonde.

He slipped his hand out of Bou and stood up grabbing his menu as he stood.He slipped into the seat next to Bou and cuddled up to the blonde's side.

"Do you know what you wanted to get?" Seth asked looking back down at his opened menu.

"Mmm...much better," Bou purred softly as he nuzzled Seth's shoulder, laying a kiss there, "Now I can cuddle you so much easier..." The small cat purred and looked over the menu, laying his head on Seth's shoulder as he did. "I wanted apple pie with vanilla ice cream...That sounds really good..."

Seth cuddled closer to the leopard looking over the menu.He had forgotten Bou had already picked something out to eat though it seemes more like desert to him.Looking up as the waitress came back he ordered a Grilled Ham and Cheese sadnwich handing the menu back to her.

Wrapping on arm around Bou's shoulders he laid a kiss on the side of Bou's face.

"Have you started looking for a job yet?" Seth asked twirling one fingert in Bou's hair.He hadn't put it back up just yet and Seth liked the feel of it.

"Nope, I haven't been looking yet," Bou replied, purring as he cuddled close to Seth, "But, now that I'm not having to pay for the hotel room, I still have a bit of money from Alejandro." The small cat smiled and nuzzled under Seth's jaw, kissing the skin. He loved cuddling with the lion, curling up next to his side, feeling so warm and loved with the man.

Seth enjoyed the warmth that wascoming off Bou intill he spotted the waitress heading their way with the food they had order.Seth unwrapped his arm from around Bou just as the food was settled down on the table.He smiled and thanked the young girl before picking up his fork.He pushed the food around on his plate as he looked over at Bou.

"I'm not totally sure but Quinn mentioned something about you working for him.Not sure if he meant here or Full moon though".He picked up one half of his sandwich and took a small nibble out of it.After taking a sip of his soda he turned back to Bou.

"Do you think you'd like working with him ?" Seth asked twirling the straw that was in his drink.He pushed the floating ice cubes down as he waited for Bou to answer.

"Oh, I wouldn't mind working for him," Bou smiled as he sat up to eat his pie, "And it would probably make him feel better since he worries about me...that way, he'll know where I am and can keep an eye on me." The small cat smiled at Seth and then took a bite of his pie. He knew it was more of a dessert than dinner, but Bou loved apple pie.

After finishing his meal Serth pushed his plate back then glancedaround the Diner as he took another sip of his soda.Quinn seemed to be doing well even though he hadn't been open all that long.He watched as a few more people drifted in and quickly got seated.Turning his attention back to Bou he smiled as he watched the blonde eat making a mental note to stock Apple Pie at the house.

"You almost done Sweet?"
