Tough Decisions
Nichole was waiting in the kitchen with the team so that Linc and Grayson could get dressed. Linc sat up. "So, you would be stuck with me?"
Grayson smiled. "That sounds nice, Linc. One condition." He watched Linc.
"Yes?"
"You can't break up with me just because you are a vampire. I will not accept that as a reason, am I clear?" Grayson glared at Linc.
Linc smiled. "I can think of other reasons, Gray. Uh, you are stubborn, hard-headed, egotistical, you think you are always right, you hate criticism and you snore!"
Grayson glared. "You just described yourself and you snore!"
Linc glared and chuckled. "I do not!"
Grayson smiled. "You do but I don't care and I am not letting you go. If we are doing this, we are in this for a long time. Okay?"
Linc nodded. "Okay. Forever?"
Grayson smiled and held Linc's face. "Forever." Grayson kissed his man. "And we are telling your parents."
"Okay. They know I'm a vampire. My mom wouldn't talk to me. It's a long story. I am ready to tell them, Grayson. I am yours." Linc was comfortable with that.
"Good. By the way, I love you with long hair. It's nice." Grayson smiled. He touched Linc's hair. It was almost to his shoulders and a little wild. It was dark, thick and a little wavy.
"I hadn't cut it since I got bitten. I wasn't out to impress anyone." Linc watched Grayson. "Do you like it or should I chop it off?" He would leave it up to Grayson.
Grayson slid his hands in it and pulled Linc close. "Leave it long." He slid his hands to Linc's face and kissed him. "I love it long."
"You make it tough to leave this room, Gray. I will leave it long, for you." Linc would do anything for him.
"We have to leave now or we won't." Grayson chuckled. Linc was right. He would love to take Linc over the bed right now.
Nichole was starting to worry. They were taking a long time. She was ready to rush to the room when Linc and Grayson walked down the stairs to the kitchen. They were tangled together. Linc was holding Grayson's hand. They both sat.
"Where did you go last night?" Emmett hated to ask. "Oh, did you guys really have sex?"
Grayson laughed. "You have to ask!"
Linc smiled. "I missed him." He put his arm around Grayson and scooted closer. He belonged to this human.
Marcie smiled. "Can we keep him?" She looked at Nichole like she was six and asking to keep a stray puppy. Tyler thought it was a cute look.
Linc laughed. "So, am I your vampire pet?"
Marcie laughed. "Yes!"
Emmett nodded. "We are a team, Linc, and we could take turns making sure you stay fed! Nichole explained the rules."
Linc laughed. He thought about that and it didn't sound terrible. He would have a house full of people that wanted to take care of him and love him and Gray was here. He was home. "What about you, Nathan?"
Nathan looked worried. "Uh, I'm not entirely comfortable with the thought of a vampire in the house!"
Linc nodded. "I wouldn't be either."
Grayson glared. "I don't give a shit, he is staying."
"Gray. Everyone has to be okay with it. Why don't we give him time? Thirty days, in which I will come for dinner every night and get to know him." He looked at Nathan. "How is that?"
Nathan thought that sounded fair. "Uh, that sounds reasonable actually. You would do that?"
Linc nodded. "Yes. I want to come back but I can't make everyone uncomfortable. I can give thirty days notice at Rehab and practice living around humans before we make this final. Is that okay with everyone?"
They all nodded. Nichole smiled. "Sounds fair."
Tyler smiled. "I don't need thirty days, Linc. I trust you and I always will. Whenever you are ready, I'm good." He always liked Linc.
"So, we would have three hunters on this team?" Nathan had to ask. Was this guy trying to crowd him out?
Linc smiled. "The more the merrier, can't have too many hunters, Nate. Gray said you were pretty good despite your age." He winked.
"Nathan." Nathan corrected. "And how come I can't call Grayson Gray but you can?"
Linc smiled. "Because I have annoyed him with Gray for seven years and I have sex with him!" He winked.
Nathan actually laughed and nodded. "Fair enough!"
Grayson chuckled and kissed Linc. "So, you are going but you will come back tonight."
"Yes. I won't sleep over until we have our next meeting. Thirty days but...I expect that we can go on dates." He looked at Nichole. "Can we?"
Nichole laughed. "Yes. You will be monitored, they will have to be approved ahead of time and you will have a curfew, just for these thirty days. It's a trial period. Safety is important here, Linc."
"I understand that, Nicki." Linc smiled. He loved nicknames.
Nichole glared. "I have told you for a year that it's Nichole!"
Linc nodded. "Right. I forgot. Nichole." He smiled.
"So, I am taking you out to a drive-in movie tonight after dinner." Grayson smiled. He was dating Linc again and he was thrilled. "If we can get that approved."
Nichole nodded. "Seems okay with me." She smiled. She was a softy.
Linc stood. "Okay. You know you didn't even ask if I was busy or had plans! You just assumed that I am free tonight." He was going to go on but Grayson jumped up and kissed Linc.
Rachel smiled. "That shut him up!" She giggled.
Linc stopped the kiss to glare but Grayson was determined. "Shut up!" He smiled and kissed Linc again. They wrapped their arms around each other and moaned as their bodies melted together. The group stared at the hunter kissing the vampire.
Nathan laughed. "He is not a normal vampire!"
Nichole smiled. "No, Nathan, Linc is different."
Emmett smiled. He wanted to say this. "He was different when he was human!" He saw Linc glare and he smiled. That was what he was going for. He missed teasing Linc. He had a great sense of humor.
