Seth blushed more and looked at his feet. Alev grinned. "Aw, ya didn't tell him? Seth, you need to stop being so shy. 'Specially if he's your mate." Alev walked around and sat on top of the edge of her desk. "You do know how a demon can smell a person's soul, right? Well, if said human ends up as the mate of a demon, the human's soul takes on a slightly different scent, like the scent of the demon has rubbed off onto their soul. So every demon and even some animals can now tell that you are under a demon's protection. But the demon's scent also changes. If it's a male, like Seth, their scent becomes… muskier I guess is the best way I can explain it."
He stares at Seth. "I didn't know about that. Though he did tell me that if you become mates the human won't die. I hope I said that right…"
Alev nodded. "Yep! That would be correct. But only while the human is a mate to a demon. If the demon and human split, the human will start to age again." Seth felt Hiro's gaze on him and kept looking at his borrowed shoes like they were the most interesting things in the world.
He nods. He poked Seth and smiled. 'I hope he's ok…He seems uncomfortable.' He tapped his foot on the ground quietly making a random beat.
Seth felt himself get poked and looked up with a shy smile. Alev smiled and walked back around and flopped into her bean bag chair, pulling her laptop back to herself, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "So! What did ya come here for Seth sweetie? I'm assuming it has something to do with your newly acquired mate?" Seth nodded quickly. "Yeah. I need to change my human profile age to adult." Alev smiled and gestured to a couch and coffee table elsewhere in the small office. "Sit down. There's some coffee brewing and there's some Hakma and pasteries on the table. Help yourself while I work." Her fingers were already flying over the keyboard.
Hiro looks at Seth with a confused look. "thanks. I guess."
(I'M SO SORRY!!! SCHOOL WAS CANCELLED DUE TO BLACKOUTS AND I NEVER GOT TIME ALONE THIS WEEKEND!! I"M SO SORRY!!)
Seth just gave Hiro a small smile and went over to the couch and flopped on it. He closed his eyes and sighed.
Hiro sits next to him and smiles. He pets his head. He didn't know what would go on so he decided to keep his mouth shut.
Seth started to purr softly. He figured this was a bit confusing to Hiro so he said knowingly, "Imma guess you have questions…?"
"Not really…I just..Don't know what's happening…or will happen." He shrugged a little bit.
Seth hugged Hiro and tucked his shaggy head under Hiro's chin. "Mmmm…"
Alev glanced up from the computer. "I'm changing Seth's human profiles' ages to adult. That means I have to hack into government files. As for what will happen, that's up to you, seeing as how I know Seth won't give his own opinions."
He nods and hugs Seth tightly. "I understand." He sighs a little but was happy none the less. "He's also very stubborn. Won't let anyone help." He laughs.
Alev rolled her eyes while smiling, "Yeah, he's been like that since he was 80 years old. Actually, no, he showed signs of that when he was a baby. I should know. I used to change his diapers." Seth's face turned red and he hidhis face in Hiro's shirt. Alev grinned, fingers still flying. "He would just sit in his room all day hiding in his blankets. Once, he wouldn't eat for 4 months straight because his mom insisted on him socializing during family reunions." alev then turned a little more serious. "But Hiro, Seth probably shouldn't be out of the house too much for the next ten years. If people saw him walking around, they'll wonder why he's not in school, people might recognize him, and there'd be a huge mess. So just a forewarning. Also, you might need to move around the world. People become suspicious if a person doesn't age while they do."
"Make sense." He pets Seth's head again and looked at Alev. "Personally I was thinking of moving soon anyway. Well Before Seth came along. But to do that I have to quit my job…"
Alev smirked. "Aw, Seth. You didn't tell him..?" Seth mumbled something into Hiro's chest. "Seth, you need to tell your mate these things."
Hiro just looks at him confused.
Seth sighed and unburied his face enough to mutter, "I'm a demon soldier. I get so much money from it that it's embarrassing. I think that's what Alev's trying to get at." Alev giggled. "Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!"
"…Oh. You could've just told me…" He looks at him. "I don't see why you think you don't have to say anything to me…"
Alev rolled her eyes. "He never says anything. "They didn't ask" was literally his senior quote a few years ago." Seth rolled his eyes back at her and sighed heavily. "Hiro, being a soldier means if there's ever a war, I have to go and there's a high risk of me getting hurt."
"I understand. And if I remember correctly…You already are hurt." He states a little mad. "You don't think I know what a soldier is?"
Seth pulled away from Hiro and looked at his feet, figure drooping. He thought he kinda deserved Hiro's scolding. He looked away. "Sorry." He whispered softly.
He sighs. "…No…I'm being to harsh… He laughs nervously. "I should be the one to apologize." He pulls him back over to him. "Sorry Seth."
Seth shook his head but let himself be pulled into Hiro's arms. "No, I was being stupid…"
"That's a lie" He nuzzles his cheek.
