"For drinking? Oh dear, I don't know why she would. Provided one monitors their intake and doesn't drive, it's easy."
"Of course I do." He agreed, but he nodded at the actual question, arms sliding up over Michael's shoulders to drape his hands gently against the back of the other man's neck, petting lightly at his hair with just fingertips, "It is. But you know better than I do what Iz would do to keep that kid safe."
But that was most of the reason why Poe was even considering leaving, even just for the night, because he knew their daughter was in good hands.

He kisses Jackson back and hoists him up a bit more. Oh, he could've waited until they got to compound to feed on Jackson, but that's not what he'd wanted to do. Waiting would've driven the young Mikaelson a little crazy. He does, however, give a bit of a smirk.
"Oh, I plan on it."
Which meant walking through the French Quarter while carrying Jackson. There were probably eyes on them the whole entire way.
It had been a long night for Josh. Too long. Too many vampires with their own political agendas arguing over everything and nothing at all. Then there was the humans that they’d brought in to feed on— the ones they weren’t supposed to kill, until everything went wonky. By the end of the night, blood covered the walls, the floors, the tables, and even the liquor display. It was all supposed to be a simple bachelor party. Josh should have known better when invited by Klaus.
Either way, he’s happy to be home. Home where Aiden is sleeping, and he’s met with the feelings of warmth and happiness. There’s no death here. There’s life and vitality all ensconced in the man currently laying mostly naked (or is that fully naked) on their bed, snoring quietly.
After a quick shower, Josh climbs beneath the covers and moves over to try and draw Aiden around him without waking the sleeping werewolf

Aiden does happen to still be wearing his boxers. He starts to wake when the other comes in but not fully. The sound of the shower continues to play at the edges of consciousness but it's not until Josh presses close, so carefully that Josh is awake.
"Mm.. you're home," Aiden murmured.
"Mm.. you're home," Aiden murmured.
Eyes that had just barely shut, flutter back open when Josh hears Aiden's sleepy voice.
"I didn't mean to wake you. Sorry, you can go back to sleep." He sighs, and shuffles a little bit to add a very gentle kiss to his lover's plush warm lips. He really couldn't wait to get home tonight. If only life didn't obligate him to ever leave again.

Aiden kisses back sleepily. He shifts a little to press even closer to Josh.
"Kinda hard to do that now that you're here."
"Kinda hard to do that now that you're here."
"Sorry, it was a long night. I didn't want to wake you, but I just needed to be close." Josh apologizes, but there's no real feeling to it in his voice-- for as much as he didn't want to wake Aiden, he kinda did. It's far better to be able to just talk and spend a little time unwinding in bed.
Josh runs his hand down Aiden's side, just enjoying the feeling of his extra warm skin. They seemed to balance each other out well there.

"I like when you wake me up, Josh," Aiden counters softly because no apology is ever necessary for something like that. There's no better way to wake up than his boyfriend joining him in bed.
"I didn't mean to fall asleep before you got back anyway," Aiden says, turning so they're face to face, his fingers tracing along Josh's bicep.
"Everything okay?"

Just watching Aiden puts Josh more even more at ease, and forces him to exhale just a little bit more stress that had been stored in his back and shoulder muscles.
He leans in and nuzzles at the werewolf's hand with his nose a little, dotting a kiss there before propping himself on his elbow.
"I was gone all night. I didn't expect you to stay up." Josh continues to randomly stroke his boyfriend's side. "Yeah, it was just a Klaus thing, and it got more bloody than I hoped it would." Another sigh.

Aiden smile more when the other nuzzles at him and he watches him not quite propping himself up just yet.
"I just like to be awake when you get home," Aiden says, enjoying the gentle intimacy of Josh's hand on his side. He leans in to brush a kiss to the other's jaw.
"Do you need help getting it out of your mind?"

Poe had a way of calming Michael down, quieting the chaos that was ever present. He bites the corner of his own lip as he meets the other's eyes, a pleasant buzz at the petting to his hair.
"Yeah," Michael agrees. Isobel would do anything that Michael would do to protect Nora.
"And we aren't going to be too far away anyway..."
"Yeah," Michael agrees. Isobel would do anything that Michael would do to protect Nora.
"And we aren't going to be too far away anyway..."
Gar inhales a little when Tommy joins him, not expecting him too and his brows furrow just a little but he doesn't shy from the touch. He bites his lip, his eyes lowering from where he could look at Tommy in the mirror.
"Sure you're not just saying that?"
He's a mix of insecurity and horniness and hormones that were messing with his head.

"I'm absolutely certain," Tommy counters, moving to get to his knees to kiss the man's stomach. Yeah, this is good. This is his mate, and his kid. Their kid.
Times like this is what Josh lives for. Life should be made of nothing else. Call the vampire a sentimental fool in love for all he cared. This was the true meaning of home, right here and now.
At the brush of Aiden's lips, Josh's lashes lower, and he hums a low sigh of enjoyment. "You could do that again. I seem to forget the real world when your mouth is on me. If that's what you had in mind..." He trails off, turning to find Aiden's lips with his own, seeking the familiar comfort of them, and the spike of heat that always followed.

Aiden grins a little at the encouragement. He continued to move along the line of Josh's jaw with kisses as his hand slid into the other's hair. When the other kisses him, he kisses back. It's soft at first, open and inviting to anything that Josh needs or wants.
"I can do that all you want," Aiden says and his kisses move lower, tongue brushing over the curve of Josh's neck. His hand moved between their bodies, caressing over Josh's hip and not going to his cock just yet. He knew how Klaus could mess with a person's mind, how violence could leave a mind in chaos. He knew Josh could always quiet his mind.

"Well, I find it something usually best in moderation. Even if I am not good at that moderation myself."
Because he had spent much time and more carousing with and without his brother over the years.

Oh dear, what a thing to say. Rhy just laughs and shakes his head.
"If nothing else, I know how to gauge the intake of an inexperienced youth. I shall take care of you, my sweetling."
"If nothing else, I know how to gauge the intake of an inexperienced youth. I shall take care of you, my sweetling."
Oh yes, this was most certainly a way to distract him. Maybe it didn't exactly quiet his mind, but his mind was no longer occupied with thought of the violence that had gone one earlier that evening. It was now full of Aiden, of how soft those lips felt against his, and how Aiden's hand seemed to know every little spot to turn Josh on.
"Mmm, You're good at this. Have you been practicing." He teased a little, leaning his head back to allow Aiden all the room he wanted.
Josh's hand did it's own exploring, wandering up to circle around Aiden's nipples, thumbing over one back and forth, flicking at it, tugging, working to make it extra sensitive.

Apparently half an hour outside of town was as far as they were both willing to go, but it was still something, still counted for a night out, and as he'd claimed, Poe knew a place. It was actually pretty ritzy as far as these things went, no monogrammed robes, but high-quality room service, and a room with a view, not that Poe figured they'd be enjoying that part much, but that was beside the point.
He stretched once they were in the room proper, humming a little at the hush of the place, which meant there was good soundproofing, something else he wasn't sure if they'd need, but it was nice to have if they did, "Almost too fancy for a one-night stay." He concluded, amusement laced through the statement.
