Ace started to succeed in the city. Nero had trouble keeping tabs on the cash. They even had one of the best apartments down town. He had luck with battles but, finding Draco was another matter.
Nero was at a movie tonight, Ace was left alone with Laura. He felt so uncomfortable being alone with her. He was avoiding her since his dreams became filled with thoughts of her.
He heard her mention she was tired. He kept his attention on the newscast. Though he could see from the corner of his eye she kept glancing at him. She was making him nervous. He had been avoiding her but, now alone and the way she was looking at him Ace knew there was trouble.
"I'm going to bed Ace." She left to her room.
With relief he began flipping through channels, had he stayed tuned to the news he would have seen clips and interviews from the big event at Hal's gym. Getting bored quick he turned off the tube and decided to get to bed too. Nero was sure out late.
He found a surprise waiting in his room. Laura on his bed with a bottle of wine. He stood there not knowing what to do.
"Laura! This is not going to happen! I'm a wolf you're human, it won't work out!"
"Does it matter what we are?" She motioned for him to join her.
This wouldn't work out. He closed the door and walked down the hall. This really wouldn't work out, his kind lived for centuries. His father had once fell for a human woman and had the pain of watching her wither away while he stayed young.
Laura didn't deserve that pain! Watching him stay young while she grew old. He wasn't going through that pain either, he gave up Angel in the end for those reasons. He was going to find his own kind somehow. He thought of Laura laying there with just that black t-shirt on. That brief sight of her made him lust for her. He forced it away, he had to keep his cool.
"I would be a fool to turn this down!" He leapt at her.
Ace lost his mind, he hadn't had sex in such a long time that he just pounded Laura. He made hard fierce thrusts and growled in his pleasure. He had wanted this since she kissed him. His hands worked all over her body and she was moaning as he held her tight. She ran her fingers along his back.
When it was over Ace laid panting and his frustrations at an end. He felt her hand guiding him back in. He smiled and obeyed her wish. She gasped as he grabbed her again.
Nero walked in the door. He was tired and yawning as he locked the door again. Then he turned around as he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He went red as he heard Laura shouting for Ace to slow down. She began to cry out Ace. Nero backed out the apartment knowing he was going to lose sleep tonight.
As Nero left to find something else to kill time Ace and Laura kept going. Laura stopped him after her voice became hoarse and she couldn't even support herself on her knees. They stayed laying next to each other till dawn and Ace woke to find out he hadn't dreamed the whole thing. He put his face in his hands, what had he done? Gave her false hopes that he could love her for all times. He laid down wanting to kick himself.

Draco kept his word, he showed her that same wonderful side of the city he revealed to her. He took her to see the city zoo. She had fun as he asked dumb questions to the staff. He asked what the best seasoning was for gator. He always knew how to make her laugh.
He felt good having her at his side. He showed her his favorite sushi bar and then the park Rosie and Smear loved to play in. At sunset it had a great view of the mountains and of the dying sun followed by the moon coming alive. She could tell he loved sunset.
At home he laid her on his bed and kissed her. She held him close as he undressed her. Tossing away his shirt he took deeply from her lips a kiss.
His hands gliding over her sides. He was touching her, maybe she wasn't repulsive, she thought to herself. Then she began to wonder again if he was just using her. She hated these feelings, why now when he was going to finally make love to her?
He heard the front door unlock and swing open. He grunted. He listened as someone called for him. He rolled off Cole and stood grabbing his robe. He waited so long for this and now someone just had to come home at this exact minute.
"Don't go." She whispered as she held his hand.
"Someone is home." He whispered back.
"We'll just have to be quiet then." She smiled.
"Chars are damn loud you know that." He heard a knock at his door. "Coming."
"Well if it's Cynder he won't care!" She winked.
"If it's Cynder he would be listening and trying to imagine what's going on in here." That thought revolted him.
It was little Smear. Draco had to cut his plans for the night. He listened to the kid ask if he would stick a movie in the DVD player for him. Then he mentioned Drow was on her way up with the laundry.
"You didn't offer to help her carry it up?" Draco went to the door to see Drowxena, Rosie, and Ray carrying the baskets of clothes. "Great, a quiet evening at home."
He helped them inside. Cynder was cussing further down the hall. Draco leaned out to see him telling his date something. Draco closed the door and went back to Cole.
"Who was it?" She knew the answer though.
"Everyone." Everyone except Chester, he didn't come home that night.
*****
As Draco stumbled over to an empty coffee pot Chester stumbled in. He had a sheepish grin on when Draco raised an eyebrow to his late arrival. Great even Snorlax was getting lucky, he hated having to live with so many others and so closely. He snorted as he made his way back to his room. Charcole still lay asleep.
It was time for a swim. He found the bathroom locked. He waited almost an hour before Cynder got out. He tried to relax as he settled into the water but, Smear cranked up his radio to full volume. Out of the bathroom he got after Smear, as he did that Rosie dashed into the room.
Draco found himself locked out again. He pounded on the door while Rosie laughed inside. He had to go now! Shouting at Rosie he woke Ray who began shouting at him. Chester must have ate something that didn't agree with his gut because he let one rip. Everyone shouted at him.
"Stop! Everyone just calm down!" Drow always played referee.
"I'm out!" Rosie danced past Draco.
Inside the walls were covered with drawings made with toothpaste. Draco could feel that last string of sanity snap. He strode right on over to the front door.
"Where are you going!" Cynder uttered.
"I need to get out of this mad house for awhile!" He shouted.
Pissing at a gas station he settled down some. He needed some time alone. He had to get his own place! He was suffocating with everyone else around him almost all the time. He had no privacy, he didn't have that uncaring attitude of Cynder's. He needed something new.
