Alex bit his lip, eyes flashing from Danny to the approaching person. "I…" he trailed off, blinking. "Ex." he finally said softly. "M-my ex is…" he pointed. "Succubus, he…" he couldn't quite get the words out.

(OH JESUS IM SORRY!! life got HELLA hectic really fast and i didn’t really have the time to respond, thank you for putting up with this!)

Danny’s upper lip curled into a slight snarl, small flashes of sharp white teeth peeking out. “Fuckin’ hell. Bad breakup, I take it?” He took a small, yet protective, step in front of Alex, eyeing the succubus with sharp eyes. “Let him try somethin’, I’ll rip out that man’s throat.”

(it's okay! It's totally fine, dwb)

Alex took a deep breath, and nodded a little bit. "He's the…one that got me hooked on the drugs." He replied slowly, quietly, biting his lip.
The approaching male's eyes moved over Danny and Alex, and he grinned. His eyes were dark, his hair black and hanging to his shoulders in length. "Alexander." He greeted.

(just a warning- until ≈march 21, i can’t guarantee how active i’ll be- hopefully as much as normal, but i’ve got rehearsals that run until 4:30/5:00 for a good chunk of the weeks to follow)

Danny pressed his lips together. As the succubus spoke, Danny audibly growled, a feral, almost animalistic sound. “What the fuck do you want, you fucking cunt?” He still physically blocked Alex, and even took a small step forward. It was clear to see that he was a werewolf, just hiding by his general demeanor.

(dear god, he’s so aggressively loyal and protective-)

(okay! That's fine, don't worry about it too much :) )

The male laughed, shaking his head. "What, can't I say anything to Alex? He left so quickly. I miss you." He directed this last part to Alex, his voice taking on a lilting, singsong tone.
Alex shuddered, ducking his head.

(Yessss)

“Damn straight, you can’t say shit to him.” Danny nearly barked, his posture becoming more offensive and an arm blocking Alex off from his ex. “He don’t wanna fuckin’ talk to ya, are you stupid?”

The succubus laughed a little bit, and started walking again. "Alright, fine. I'll see ya later, darlin'." He told Alex, putting his hands in his pockets.
Alex swallowed hard, shuddering again.

“Fuckin’ sleazeball, I’ll kill that bitch if he ever talks to either of us again.” Danny snapped, just loud enough for the succubus to hear. “Snap his neck ‘n rip out his heart with my own goddamn teeth.”

Alex was silent, arms tucked around himself. He shuddered a little bit, and shrugged slightly.

Danny’s shoulders dropped from their tense position as he watched the other man walk away, and he turned back to Alex. “Hey- you okay, brother?” He tilted his head, placing a hand on Alex’s shoulder once more.

Alex shrugged his shoulders, running a hand through his hair. "I…I don't know." He replied softly, biting his lip.

“You need to sit down? My apartment’s pretty close- it’s like, half a block away.” Danny frowned, his posture hunched slightly so that he wasn’t towering so heavily over Alex.

Alex nodded a little bit. "Y-yeah, I…" Keaton, the ex, had had a pretty big hold over Alex. As a Succubus, Keaton, or Keats as he preferred to be called, had certain abilities over the mind, with the ability to affect someone's feelings and mental state, especially in regards to how they felt. Keats had used that to his own advantage, influencing Alex until the human male was no longer in control of his own feelings towards the succubus.

Danny’s head tilted a little. “Do you want to? There’s a shortcut through that alley- it’s a lot sketchier-looking than it really it, trust me- but we’re pretty close.” He knew a little bit about succubi, given that his former bassist was one-although not much, and none of it was positive. “If you want to. We don’t gotta, obviously.”

Alex nodded again. "Can we? Please? I…" he didn't know what to say. Didn't know how to put into words how scared he was that Keats would come back, that Alex would fall right back into that trap. That this time he wouldn't be able to get out, get away.

“Yeah, man, this way.” Danny tilted his head in the direction of the alley, waiting for Alex to begin walking before he started. The alley was full of broken down cardboard boxes that lined the two walls, although the way out was clear. “We might not be the only guys in there, but I think everyone’s doin’ something right now. Kids should be at school, so at least you won’t have to put up with that.”

Alex nodded a little bit, sticking near Danny. "Alright. Thank you." he replied softly, running a hand through his hair. He took a deep breath, letting it out shakily.

Danny led him out of the alley and onto a sidewalk. It was stained, cracked, and a bit chipped, not unlike the buildings themselves. “It’s this one right here, hold on..” Danny fished in his pocket, pulling out a key to the door. “It’s a bit of a walk up- third floor. Hope you don’t mind.”

Alex nodded. "It's fine." he said softly, hands tucked in his pockets. He didn't say anything about Keats, not yet, not trusting that his voice would be able to hold together long enough to get his words out.

Danny opened the door to his apartment. It was small, definitely only meant for two or three people- of course, there were currently around six living there. He sat down on the rugged couch, picking at his nails. “You can just make yourself at home, man. Nobody else is here right now.”

Alex nodded, sitting down and tucking his knees to his chest. "Thank you." he said softly. "For…helping me. With Keats." he swallowed, running a hand through his hair.

Danny sat with his knees spread, his back hunched over as he inspected his hands. “It’s no big deal, man. He’s an asshole and needs to be treated like it. Can’t be a cunt with no consequences.” He shrugged, leaning back and resting his head on the top of the couch.

Alex shrugged a little bit, looking at his toes. "Still." he replied softly. He bit his lip, linking his arms around his legs.

“I get it, dude, I really do.” Danny raised his palms, nodding a bit. “You just let me know if he’s talkin’ to ya again, okay?”

Alex looked over at Danny again, and nodded slightly. "Yeah. Alright. Thanks." he said softly, chewing on his lip a little bit.
