Jas rolled his eyes playfully and wrapped an arm around Connor's shoulder. "Murdered, darling. I've only ever killed two people in my lifetime. Believe me, I've restrained myself from killing multiple time, more times I'd like to admit." He pressed a kiss to Connor's brow as they started down the street. "Problematic in general, or just to you?" He teased, nuzzling Connor's neck. He pouted softly at the mention of the mission and sighed "are you really leaving me here all alone? I promise I won't do anything while we're there." He whined, letting his cat ears show. "Please sweetheart?" He begged
Connor gave him a cold glare, crossing his arms as he did so. "Which lifetime are we talking about 'darling'" he scoffed. "Yes, you are problematic in general." He sighed and listened to Jas complain about him leaving before looking back up at him and blushing. "This is an important mission. You can't pull that out on me, you know how cute I think it is." He groaned and gave in. "FIne you can come, but if you cause trouble for me, if you kill someone, if you follow me when I go out on the mission, or if you cause trouble for Jake; you're going straight back. Are we clear?" His tone was dry, anyone from a mile away could tell that he was serious.
Jas straightened, a frown tugging at his lips. "Any of them. I've only killed two people. The rest were faked deaths. That or they were given the option of leaving the country." He muttered, gaze growing slightly distant. He laughed humorlessly at Connor's confirmation and gave a glare. "I'm not the only one." He retorted softly. His ears flicked as a satisfied from spread on his features, "you won't even know I'm there." He promised, pressing a kiss to Connor's hand. "I was right before, you are very alluring when your serious." He laughed softly and took a breath, relieving some temtion in his chest and shoving aside the guilt rising in his throat
Connor looked in the opposite direction his ears glowing red. "I-I am not. You're the only one who sees it like that." He held onto Jas's hand even after the kiss. He gave it a light squeeze of reassurance as he continued to walk. "How do fake other people's deaths? Do you just let them go and then say they died like how does that work? Even if that is the case, why not just kill them at that point or not even say they're dead you know? If you handed them over to us I promise you we would've given them a life sentence. If you presented the right evidence." Connor leaned his head on Jas's shoulder. "We also have to pack when we get home and I'll tell you about how the flight will work later."
"then I guess I'm lucky then." He smiled softly and nudged Connor's head affectionately, a soft purr starting in his throat. "A few well placed threats here and there will often times do the job of keeping them quiet. If not, then the knowledge that I could come out of nowhere and suddenly end their pitiful life shuts them up very quickly. Conving others that someone is dead is the tricky part. You wouldn't believe how many families I've had to break that news to. Usually they're alright with getting rid of a problematic family member. Other times it's not as easy but it's for the better." He shrugged his shoulders and shoved his free hand into his pocket. "Like I said before, dearest. I don't work well with others. That includes your little band of hereos. I'd much rather work things out myself." He explained, glancing up as they exited the lesser part of the city. "How early is the flight?" He asked, trying his to hide a yawn. "This kitty is ready for a cat nap. A very long cat nap."
"I see…well, I don't understand that because you seem to work well with me, in many ways might I add." He thought for a moment. "5 A.M; we can sleep once we get to Florida. Don't worry, and I'll buy you a ticket once e get there. We'll probably have to wake up at 3and get there by 4 to pass all security measures. Have you been on a plane before in this life, right? If not, then I sure have a lot of things to explain to you. Wait, can't we teleport back?" He asked, unsure of why they were walking back home.
"you're the exception, love." Has replied, groaning at the mention of waking up early. "3 am?! Darling, I'm sleeping to the airport, on the plane, and at the hotel. Honestly I'm tempted to stay here." He joked, a trilled purring sound escaping him. "I thought you didn't like it when I teleport, made you sick." He pressed a kiss to Connor's hand. "Would you still like to? We're not that far away even if we do walk."
"Then we can walk home. A night stroll with you feels pleasant." He blushed slightly from the kiss on his hand. "If you think that's bad they have your powers removed. They don't want any terrorists trying to kill hundreds of people on a plane. So, they will be completely removed. I'm used to it, but that last time you got your powers taken away you didn't look so good. It's at the point where once you walk on a plane you shift back to whatever form is your original form, so I have to deal with my wings. Also, the flight is…6 hours long."
Jas nodded his head with a smile, turning his face up to the cool breeze. "It can't be as bad as it was back in the cell. I'll just have to stay as a cat until we get to the hotel. It won't be so bad." He hoped, a grin crossing his features. "I like your wings dearest. You're beautiful. I wouldn’t mind solely spending 6 hours with you, probably even more, though maybe not in a cramped plane.” Jas chuckled lightly and looked around the area, illuminated streets and small shops staying open lte gave a very calm ambiance. “So did you like them? My family, I mean.” He asked, biting his lip nervously “it’s alright if not, I know they can be intense. Especially Sasha.”
"I know you like my wings. Thank you for that." He kissed his nose before continuing to walk. As the cold air surrounded him, Connor could see his breath with every huff. He gave a confused look and pulled Jas to stop walking. "Jas are you kidding?" Connor held his cold hands against Jas's cheek. "They were wonderful. I'm grateful that you trust me enough to introduce them to me." Connor kissed his forehead and started to walk again. "Come on let's get home so we can get warm and start packing."
Jas paused for a moment and glanced down at Connor, breath clouding in front of him as he leaned into Connor's hands. He covered then with his own, hoping to offer some sort of warmth. "You have no idea how relieved I am. I was worried Suni or Sasha might've scared you. He hugged a small laugh and pressed gentle kisses to Connor's fingertips. "Thank you, for being so willing to meet them. I know our whole relationship hasn't been easy." He gave a soft smoke before noddeding and following Connor back to his place. "It got cold so suddenly. Now I'm excited to go to Florida, if only to void the freezing cold here for a few days."
"It's not that they scared me they just overwhelmed me a little. I expected them to be more distant you know and they weren't which I was happy about, but they just caught me off guard is all." He smiled from the kissed and shook his head. "I know our relationship has been kind of hard, but I think in the future, we'll be just fine." Connor nodded and shivered. "I'm excited to go to Florida too. Mostly because it's probably going to be a lot more fun over there." He added.
"I probably should have warned you about that before we actually got there." Jas glanced away for a moment, mind racing with memories of their "relationship" over the past lives. If he were being honest with himself, Jas had somehow convinced himself that Connor liked him on any level, just because he was the only other immortal he had met and interacted with. With that mentality, jas had instilled himself, albeit very slowly by Connor's side, whether as his enemy or as a virtual wall for Connor to throw his emotional punches at. He had desperately wanted Connor's love that any physical or emotional was worth it in the end. In a way he had been morbidly right. He wasn't sure if he would be willing to do it all again but he knew what they had now had been worth those lives of torture. He sucked in a heavy breath and focused back on Connor, an adoring smile crossing his features. He gently tugged Connor close to his side and pressed a kiss to his head. "It'll be very fun, especially after this little mission if yours." He agreed, pulling open the doors to the building.
He pressed the elevator button and walked in. "What would be fun, hm? You're not going anywhere. You're staying at the hotel and being a good little kitty while I'm out doing all the hard work. Maybe the pool, the beach, and maybe a few drinks here and there." Connor tugged Jas into the elevator with him before the door closed. "So, tell what exactly would be fun for you hm?" Connor loosely wrapped his hands around Jas' next, pulling his body closer to him. "Unless there's something you want to tell me."
Jas followed Connor in with a lazy grin. He let out a deep purr at being tugged closer and lightly pressed their heads together. "Darling," he cooed softly, hands traveling to Connor's waist. "I am a grown cat. I can take care of myself. As for staying at the hotel, I promised you I'd be good, did I not? I won't get you or your little organization in trouble. But I do plan on enjoying our time in florida. After all, how long has it been since we had a proper action, hm?" He tilted his head innocently and pressed a sweet kiss to Connor's brow. "I admit, I'm nervous about this whole mission thing. But I know you can handle yourself very well. And I trust you enough to come home to me safe and in one piece." He sighed softly and nuzzled Connor's brow.
"Don't look at me all innocent and sweet like that…" Connor held his hand on Jas's cheek, tracing his jawline. "I guess I have nothing to worry about. You don't have to worry either. I wouldn't dream of dying and leaving you behind. I know I'll just come back in the next life, but I wonder how long it would take me to find you. I don't want to think about that. I will come back and we can sleep soundly and take in the clean Florida air." Connor gave Jas a small kiss, pressing their heads together again. "I will always come home to you, from now on till forever."
Jas melted into Connor’s hand, his purr lightening into something softer. "Please, don't say that. This is the first life i genuinely and freely get to live you. I don't want that to end so soon." He begged, instinctively hugging Connor closer to his form. He hugged a small laugh and nodded. "That would be very nice." He looked down at his liver and nodded slightly. "I will too, my precious bird.im your kitty, from now, until forever." He promised, brushing a soft kiss to Connor's lips before the elevator doors opened up to Connor's floor
"I wouldn't have it any other way…" he whispered returning the kiss. Connor looked over when the door opened to see two people with their mouths open wide. He cleared his throat, pulling away from Jas, but his hand still held Jas's. Connor walked past them, tugging Jas along with him. "Well, that was a little awkward. Sometimes I forget other people live here." he laughed before opening up the door to his room. "Don't fall asleep yet, kitty cat; we have some packing to do. We'll be there for a week, but I need to pack twice as much as you do."
Jas broke away when he realized people were watching and quickly followed Connor back to his room. He gave a soft whine but knew Connor was right. The sooner they'd pack, the sooner they'd be able to sleep. He pressed one last kiss to Connor's cheek before heading off to find his duffle bag he had brought with him to stay over Connor's home. "I might have to go back to my place to grab some thing before we leave." He called, only finding two sets of clothes not including his pjs. "Why do you need to pack so much?" He asked, luffing his duffle bag out of the closet and setting it off to the side to pick up in the morning.
Connor took out three suits and one red cocktail dress. "I forgot to tell you, but this is an undercover mission, darling. I have to bring clothes that I would wear to a bar or a casino. He folded the clothes neatly in a suitcase he had pulled out before they left. "Depending on what it is, I might have to be a girl or a guy. Who knows?" He took out some other clothes for sleeping and the pool and regular site-seeing if needed. He closed one suitcase and took out another. "If you need to go to your place for a second, that's all right with me. Not that you would need to ask permission."
Jas tilted his head curiously at seeing the dress and dropped his head onto Connor's shoulder. He gave a slight smirk and gently nuzzled the tender area behind Connor's ear. "I wouldn't mind seeing you in dress." He teased, gently pulling away and shouldering his duffle bag. "Then I'll be back in a half an hour or so." He promised, disappearing in a matter of seconds. He reappearing in his home and did a quick sweep around to make sure everything was safe. With a reluctant sigh, Jas went to him room and started taking a week's worth of clothes into his bag. He debated on whether to take his typical all black outfit he usually used on his own 'missions'. He shoved it into the bottom of his bag, hoping he wouldn't find the urge to use it later. He packed a few more personal items and sighed, genuinely excited to go to Florida, even if it was for one if Connor's mystery missions.
He paused for a second and scoffed. "He's such a tease." He took a couple more outfits that he may need before putting his two suitcases aside. He flopped on the bed and waited for Jas to get back. However, he much too slept and was half asleep, with the clothes he wore for the day and his shoes. He dug his face in the pillow, letting his body sink into the bed. He thought about showering, but the bedsheets were much too comfortable to try and get up.
Jas came back a few minutes and peeked around the now sudden quiet home. "Connor?" He looked around a bit more until he made it to the bedroom. He huffed a small laugh when he found Connor already asleep and set his duffle bag down. He settled in the edge of the bed and gently brushed aside Connor's hair from his features, lightly tracing the bridge if his nose or the gentle curve of his lips. "Beautiful creature." He cooed softly, pressing a kiss to Connor's head before standing and heading to the bathroom with his pjs to shower.
A few minutes after his mini nap he woke up and realized Jas still wasn't with him. He stood up from the best rubbing his eyes. He walked into the bathroom half asleep and started to undress. He only got to the point of taking off his shirt before he went to turn on the shower. The shower door was glass so he had a full view of Jas. He stood there for a moment trying to process the details before rubbing his eyes again, only to realize it was Jas showering. "Oh my god!" He yelled. Connor turned around stumbling out of the bathroom. "Sorry! I didn't know you were home yet. I didn't see you!"
Jas was nearly done with his shower when he saw the door open and Connir walk in. He grinned and arched an eyebrow, trying his best to cover himself the best he could. Has gave a small laugh and watched Connor as he stared, then immediately leave the room while apologizing. "You're more than welcome to join my love, plenty of room." He called, rising off his hair and his cat ears. Once he finished with his shower, Jas dried off and pulled in his PJs before walking out into the bedroom. "Sorry for the scare, dear. I came back when you had fallen asleep and didn't want to wake you." He explained, shifting into a cat as he climbed into bed and rubbed against Connor's exosed side, purring softly
