Brink laughed softly at Finn’s reaction, finding it cute that he was flustered. He didn’t really know either, though calling them boyfriends seemed right but also odd at the same time. Brink did want to be Finn’s boyfriend but there were thing so he was still unsure about. He thought back to the previous night, how comfortable he felt with Finn and how that was a true moment of pure happiness, to be that close to someone he liked without having to explain or apologies for anything. He took a deep breath, took a peek at Finn who he just noticed was watching him, then at Poppy and nodded slowly. “Yeah, I think we are. We still have things to work out but I really do like your brother. A lot.”
Finn smiled at Brinks's response nodding. Poppy also nodded looking satisfied with the answer she received. "Good. You be nice to him," She said glaring slightly at Brink. Tryin to look intimidating but failing miserably. She then smiled and started eating her breakfast. Finn couldn't hold in his laughter anymore and started chuckling. He ate his breakfast. Finishing after a few minutes. Poppy popped up once she was all done. She had quite a lot of sugar on her pourage. Finn just couldn't say no to her sometimes. She seemed slightly hyper.
“I will, I promise.” He said, raising his hands in innocence. “You can do whatever you want to me if ever break that promise. Spread the word to Willow as well.” He said, absolutely serious about what he meant but still trying to keep a light tone. He offered a smile, Poppy’s energetic mood this morning infectious. He stood once done with the oatmeal and washed it on the sink, not bothering to use the dishwasher since it was only a few dishes.
Popp nodded. "Will do," She said before running down the hall. Finn was too busy holding in another laugh to scold her for running. He stood behind Brink and kissed his cheek. "You don't have to do that." He said resting his chin on Brink's shoulder. "The dishes or the promise." He clarified.
Brink glanced up at Finn and gently nudging his head affectionately “the dishes, maybe not but it feels good to do something other than just sit around while everyone around you moves.” He dried his hands once done with the dishes and gently ran and hand through Finn’s hair like The night before. “As for the promise, yes I do. I want what’s between us to work Finn. I want to be held accountable for what I do to you, especially if it harms you in any way.” He dropped his voice in case Poppy was still around. “I know I’m not a good person, I’ve killed and tortured people before. I’m used to the criminal world. Trying to make an actual living with someone I love is going’s to be hard, especially since I won’t be able to immediately separate myself from my upbringing. If I at any point hurt you during this without ever being told I did…I’d…” He shook his head “I don’t know what I’d do.”
Finn nodded. He felt his stomach turning thinking of someone hurting brink but he tried to calm down. Getting angry always only led to his powers acting up. "I know all of that Brink. We'll figure this out together. The same goes for me okay?" He said lifting his head and looking at Brink. "I haven't dated anyone in a while and even that wasn't the best relationship on both sides. So if I do anything at all that hurts you pushes you please let me know." He smiled softly. "Speaking of which though. I'm surprised Poppy caught on. I know we weren't exactly subtle but I've never brought any of my exes home before. I sometimes underestimate her."
He sighed softly and nodded, knowing he’d most likely have a hard time with getting used relying on Finn. “I’ll try my hero, I will.” He offered a small smile and gave a small kiss on the cheek “really? The girl knows more than she’s letting not on.” He laughed softly and shook his head “she’s old enough to understand. I think it would be wise to let her in on more important things. She’ll find out eventually.” He said, glancing over his shoulder at Finn. “She’s know about your abilities? Or that you’re a hero?”
(sorry im away for the week so I'm going to be a bit slow)
Finn shook his head. "No. You and willow are actually the only ones that know. I-" He paused taking Brinks hand. "I don't think I can yet. There's a chance she could also have well abilities. I'm not sure yet though. She still has about a year." He shook his head. "So I think I'm going to wait to see."
(It’s okay! Hope you’re having a great holiday break!)
Brink turned in place and gently stroked the back of his hand with his thumb. He found it interesting that the family of an ability weilder could also possess abilities as well though it did make sense. He watched Finn, brows creased in worry as he voiced his concerns. He reached up with his free hand and gently cupped his cheek “Alright, waiting does seem logical but she’s young. I suggest telling her soon than waiting until later.” He said, offering an encouraging smile. “You have time dear, don’t worry.”
Finn nodded. "I know I should and I will just not now," He said standing up straight. "I'm going on patrol tonight." He brought Brinks hand up and kissed the back lightly. "Willow's going to come to watch Poppy. She doesn't have school today though so Poppy will be here all day. I promised her I'd bring her to the park."
He sighed softly and reached up to press kiss to the corner of Finn’s lips. “Alright, dear.” He gently squeezed his hand “i have to meet my sister later so I won’t be here most of the day but I’ll be back by tonight if you want company on the patrol.” He said softly, glancing up at the clock to make sure he wasn’t too late for meeting Jacks
"Ok I'll see you tonight," Finn said before capturing the other boy's lips. the kiss was short and ended with him taking a step back. He rand a hand over his hair. "I'm going to go and get ready." Finn had a soft smile but the nerves from earlier were still on her face.
He tilted his head slightly, following Finn as they kissed until he took a step back. Brink laughed softly and shook his head as he took a deep breath. “Alright, darlin, i’ll see you tonight.” He said with a small smile, squeezing his hand gently and letting him go.
Finn nodded. "Can't wait," Finn said before leaving his room. Getting ready for the rest of his day and getting poppy ready to go to the park. They leave a few minutes after. Finn kissing Brink on the cheek before he leaves.
He smiled and waved them off before he too got ready to meet his sister. He decided to call her up as he pulled on a jacket and headed out. “Hey big sis!”
“Hey troublemaker, how ya been?”
“Pretty good actually, I have so much to tell you.”
“Really? Can’t wait to hear it! See you in about 10?”
“Sounds good, see ya then.”
Finn had an uneventful day. Taking Poppy to the park and then to the apartment. They sat on the couch ad watched movies Willow would come to watch Poppy in a few hours but for now, all Finn had to do was rest. He relaxed on the couch. Poppy played with some toys on the coffee table while watching the movie.
Brink waited on the side of the curb, hidden in the shadows of the buildings looming over head until a black colored car pulled up Andy drew down its windows, revealing a stunning, pale woman with deep red lipstick and blonde hair.
Brink smiled and got into the passenger seat, sighing in relief. “Now don’t you look lovely.” He drawled, gently speeding his sisters hand.
“Aw thanks, not too bad yourself.”
Brink directed her towards the abandoned carnival where he had brought Finn.
“How’s mom and dad?” He asked after a while.
Jacks’ lips turned down slightly “not too good. Dad had another one of his moments and mom had enough. They’re separate. And it looks like for good this time.” She’s glanced over at her little brother and offered a small smile. “But enough about them, how are you?”
Brink pulled on a slight smile “I’ll tell you once we get home.”
Finn put poppy to bed once Willow arrived. Putting on his suit under some of his normal clothes. mask in his messenger bag. He waited around for a bit but decided to leave a little early. Telling Willow to let Brink know if he came back looking for him. He wondered around the town as normal. stopping at some store before they closed and wondered around a park he knows has a lot of robberies or attacks.
“You have a boyfriend?! And didn’t tell me sooner?!” Jacks hugged her brother and ruffled his hair.
“Well, kind of.” Brink managed to say once out of her hold.
“Kind of? Well don’t you like this man? Don’t you want to be with him?”
“Yes! Of course I do! But here are so many things that could go wrong with me loving him. I’m still part of the criminal underworld. I could endanger him and his family!”
Jacks sighed and shook her head. “I know I may come off as cliche but If you love him, and he loves you, then you’ll both find your own ways to keep each other safe.”
He nodded slightly and took a deep breath, resting his head against her shoulder. “I do love him. The last thing I want to do is hurt him or the others.”
Jacks smiled softly and tilted her head “you won’t.”
He sighed softly and peeked outside, seeing that it was sundown. “Come on, I promised him I’d meet him for a patrol.”
Jacks stood with him and smirked, “since when are you a hero?”
He laughed softly “never even when I try, but I promised him I would.”
“How cute, so I get to meet this boyfriend of yours? What an honor.” He laughed and nodded “yep!”
He guided her out, both immediately running off towards town, bounding on rooftops and making their way through alleyways until they reached a park
Finn was sitting down on a random bench. The sun was setting and he was now wearing his uniform. Mask on as he sat with his legs crossed. It was a slow night and he planned on getting up in a minute. then he saw shadows moving along the rooftops. He stood up trying to get a closer look. He recognized Brink getting closer along with someone he didn't recognize. He waved at them walking closer to the pair.
Brink waved back, breaking into smiles and he hugged him and gestures to Jacks who was standing beside him, deeply amused.
“Finn, this is my sister Jacklynne. Jacks this is Finn.”
She smiled “your boyfriend Finn, right?” She teased, her smile only growing when Brink looked away to his his reddening cheeks, his only indication that she was right was a nod.
“Nice to meet you Finn, I hope my little brother hasn’t given you too much trouble.”
Finn's face heated up slightly when Jacks mentioned Finn being his boyfriend. He glanced down at Brink smiling at him before looking at Jack. "Not at all," He said smiling wide laughing slightly. "It's nice to meet you though Jacklunne." He looked around them slightly. He always checks his surroundings. Likes to be completely aware of it.
Jacks eyed brink suspiciously, though her smile stayed “he must really like you then to not have done anything remotely concerning then.” She mused, genuinely glad that her little brother was happy. “Well then, I’ll be leaving you two for now, I’m sure you’ll want to spend the night alone together without me bothering you.” She winked and started walking back the way they came. “Let me know if you have any single siblings, Finn! Brinks not the only one who’s looking for some love!” She called over her shoulder
Finn smiled and nodded. "I'll keep that in mind," He called back laughing. "So you guys have fun?" He took Brink's hand. Leaning in and kissing his cheek lightly. "It's been a slow night. Helped someone find their phone earlier so that was interesting." He was still smiling but it looked slightly strained. He himself wasn't even sure if he was scared he was missing something or not needed anymore.
Brink smiled softy, the blush still on his cheeks as he walked with Finn. “I could always shake things up a bit if you’d like.” He suggested teasingly, lacing his hand with Finn’s. “If the city isn’t up in flames or close to it, I’d say you’re doing a pretty good job. You deserve a break every now and then.”
Finn lightly bumped into him after the tease. He nodded squeezing Brinks had slightly. "You're right thank you.," He said smiling down at him. He was definitely missing something though. He walked through the empty park still holding hands with Brink. "Plu sI think I've ruined your bad bo persona too much for you to do much damage." He teased him back.
Brink raised his eyebrows and breathed a laugh “oh really dear?” Brink shook his head. “I don’t think these things just go away in one day. But I’d do have to admit, you do have an affect on me that’s…different. In a good way.” He shrugged with a soft smile “who knows,” he tilted his head up to meet Finn’s gaze “maybe you are affecting me. I’m not entirely apposed to some change.”
"I guess you are right it would take a bit longer. I think we'll both come out changed from this," He said meeting Brink's eyes. "we can stay out a little later then go back to mine." He played with Brink's hand absently. Swinging it between them. there was some movement in the distance but Finn didn't notice anything. Other than that the park was peaceful and empty. It usually creeped Finn out. The shadows and eerie feeling but it felt nice with Brink.
Brink nodded with a smile “yeah, that’d be great. I just have to make sure Jacks is alright before we go to your place.” He said smiling and glancing up at the night sky. “Is it ok if I show you something? That is if you have time.” He asked, gently guiding them away from the park and back into town
(Also i accidentally said brink for something instead o Finn but i fixed it lol)
Finn smiled and nodded. "I have time for anything. show away," He said. He actually didn't look as tired as he had the 2nd time meeting Brink. He looked away from Brink for a moment and around them but his eyes landed right back on Brink. "How is your sister? She seemed nice."
