Sweaty Gym Bags [Hykeem & Laura]

Ayame stood there a moment, wondering if anyone was going to answer the door, but it seemed she didn’t have to wait too long as the front door to the manor was opened. She hadn’t even noticed the two werewolves peeking through the gold curtains that hung in the window. There, in the slim crack of thedoor way was a blonde teenager that Ayame had indeed seen around the school before. Her mere presence made Ayame tense and uncomfortable, although she wasn’t sure why. Then again, the scratching at the back of her head was more…sharp than when it was with Hykeem. Perhaps it was because she was a female werewolf. She hadn’t actually met one of them yet, but she supposed it would make sense that their scratches were more sharp and painful than males’ but she digressed and didn’t speak on it.

Still, the girl said hello and Ayame greeted her as well, smiling a little and saying “hi” before the girl asked if there was something that she wanted. Ayame’s eyebrows knitted together. The girl certainly was straight to the point wasn’t she? The girl looked at the gym bag a moment before she asked if it was Hykeem’s gym bag before asking if he left it at work again. Ayame nodded again, smiling a little more. ”Yeah, he did. I guess he had to leave in a hurry. A guy came out saying that he wanted to know if I would bring the bag back to him,” she told the girl, trying to be as friendly as she could without feeling threatened at all. She wasn’t sure why the girl gave her this feeling, but she did. She was sure it was because she was so confident and gorgeous and that was something that Ayame just…wasn’t. This girl was like a model and Ayame was…well…not.

While the two talked, the door opened wider, causing Ayame’s attention to shift from the intimidatingly attractive blonde to Hykeem. Ayame’s grin brightened as she spotted her new friend before she watched as he picked up the girl and move her out of his way. He greeted her and she greeted him back before he said that he was sorry about Laura and that she went a little overboard sometimes. Ayame smiled. ”It’s fine, it happens,” she told him before she held his bag out to him. He took it before he motioned for her to come inside. She knew Peter would be having a fit if he knew, but she smiled anyway and stepped inside. ”Thank you,” she said before she looked over at Laura and figured she should be nicer to the girl. ”Nice to meet you, Laura. I’m Ayame,” she said with a small smile, holding her hand out for the girl to shake.

Notes; Haha. Aya's like: Uh huh...not sure how fond I am of this Laura person, but I'll be nice anyway!

Ayame felt strangely uncomfortable in the presence of both Hykeem and Laura. She wasn’t sure why, but she didn’t like it in the slightest. She hadn’t felt this way around Peter or Scott or Stiles. She had felt comfortable around them, like she could trust them. She had felt as though they had been kind, accepting, and overall very helpful to her. She supposed this was what it was like to be around people who weren’t really…accepting of her being around, regardless of her…um…species? She wasn’t really sure what to call her Druid status. She still felt human but could do some magic, a bit of magic but to be honest, she would better understand herself and what she could do if she could finally meet that Dr. Deaton fellow. That would have been extremely handy, but alas, it seemed that he was always gone when she needed to talk to him.

The sound of children running about drew Ayame’s attention before Hykeem called them down, a young boy and girl. He introduced her to them before saying that they needed to be quieter. She grinned a little at the two before they rushed off. She shook her head a little, unable to help it as she rucked some of her hair behind her ear before she realized that Hykeem was moving. She made to follow after him and after a short while, they made it to what looked like a sort of den-ish area. She looked around a bit before her attention turned to Hykeem when he spoke, telling her to make herself comfortable and that if she wanted anything, she merely needed to ask unless she felt more comfortable retrieving it herself. He then motioned to a mini fridge in the corner stating that it had everything she could think of, making her head her head and smile at him in appreciation.

Then Laura spoke, asking Ayame how long she had known Hykeem. The girl opened her mouth to respond before Laura spoke again, stating that she would rather Ayame tell her how long she knew she was a Druid. The female blinked several times at the werewolves before her. She looked between the two of them. Her heart beat sped up slightly since she was now nervous for several reasons. One, she was in potentially a manor full of werewolves who may not have wanted to keep her safe. Two, she didn’t feel safe answering one of the questions for fear of what would happen to not only her but her friends if she told them the truth. Thankfully, Hykeem seemed to come to her rescue, asking her to try to calm down before the blonde responded. Ayame cleared her throat anyway and decided to answer at least one of the questions. ”Well, to answer one of your questions, Hykeem and I just officially met today,” she told Laura, although now she worried that since she answered one question, the girl would expect an answer to the second.

It seemed that the conversation had taken a turn for the worse. The air between the three supernaturals seemed to become awkward after Ayame had spoke. She paused, worried about what would happen now. Perhaps she should not have been truthful? No. No she needed to be truthful to gain friends. Lying and not answering a question were two totally different things. At least to Ayame they were. She hoped that the two werewolves across from her would understand that or she may need to get Scott or Peter to come pick her sorry ass up from this house if she was stuck in a mountain ash circle.

Then Hykeem stood up from his chair and did a half decent Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator impression before he left the room. Ayame smiled at him a little, nodding her head before he was gone. This was not good in the slightest and Ayame was sure that her body language tensed up quite a bit, which was worrisome. She didn’t want to be left alone with an alpha female like Laura. She may not be an alpha in the pack, but in the female world, she was someone who was deemed powerful due to her good looks, intelligence, and talent. Ayame, on the other hand, was not unless you got in the ring with her.

Laura stated that Hykeem really liked Ayame and the girl raised an eyebrow, a little confused. ”I don’t know about really liking me, but I guess he doesn’t mind my presence too much. I just think I intrigued him. Druids sort of have this odd effect on the supernatural as a way to let them know what they are and a way to let druids know what the supernaturals are,” she reasoned, not thinking even in the slightest that Hykeem liked her more than he liked anyone else.

Notes; Indeed she is. Poor Aya.

It was extremely awkward for the two girls to sit there, but Laura didn’t say much more as they sat there, or at least if she had been, she wouldn’t have been able to speak since both girls sat up and looked over as they heard a victorious shout come from the hallway. Both woman paused, gazing at the entrance to the family area before they returned to their previous positions. Ayame didn’t relax, but shedid seem to do so as her back became less straight and she leaned back a little on the couch that she was sitting on. Her gaze removed from the doorway and back on to Laura, who was sitting across from her looking at her. It was…unnerving to see the girl smiling so much, despite the hostility that she held towards her. Ayame wasn’t sure why there was this hostility, but there was and she was…well…uncomfortable by it, but she would be preferred to do what was necessary should Laura do something foolish like attack her.

Thankfully, the werewolf female was not given the chance as Hykeem stepped into the door way. He asked if he missed anything and Ayame looked up. She smiled and shook her head. ”Nope!” She told him, grinning. She wanted to try and act like she wasn’t intimidated by anything that Laura was doing, by any stunt that she was pulling. She could only hope that everything would be alright in the end, but for now, if she acted as though she wasn’t bothered, the girl would stop and it would be the end of whatever it was that she was pulling. Whether she was jealous that Hykeem enjoyed being around Ayame, or was worried she was going to kill them all, Ayame wasn’t sure, but she knew that Laura felt threatened by her in some way so she was playing a power game to try and psyche her out, but it wouldn’t work, not even a little bit…at least on the outside.

The boxer was still smiling brightly over at her new friend. There was a moment before Laura spoke. Ayame looked over at her, wondering what she was playing at when she asked her to stay for dinner. The girl paused a moment as Laura slid Hykeem her phone. Her new friend insisted that they would pay, which wasn’t what was bothering her, but she appreciated the sentiment anyway. ”I’ll need to ask my aunt but I’m sure I could stay,” she said with a small smile, not wanting to be rude. She pulled out her cell phone and sent a text to her aunt before she sent a quick one to Peter as well. She then placed her phone on her thigh to balance while she waited for her aunt to text her back.

Laura told Hykeem to get five boxes since, apparently, there were still three pac members that hadn’t arrived at the house. Ayame had noticed the presence of several others throughout the house who had both entered and exited the room. Some caused the scratching at the base of her skull, others didn’t which made her believe this was much like the Hale House was before the fire. Full of werewolves and humans living in harmony, which was nice to think about, even if Ayame wasn’t a huge fan of the blonde female that sat before her who was trying her best to weed her out of Hykeem’s life for…whatever reason.

Ayame’s phone buzzed on her thigh, causing the female to look down at it. She looked at the text from her aunt and nodded her head, grinning a little before she typed back that she would text her when she was on her way home. She then turned to the werewolf duo, nodding her head with a smile before her phone buzzed again. She looked down and saw that it was a text from Peter. She opened it, snorted, rolled her eyes, and picked up her phone to respond. Overprotective old man, she thought playfully before she sent the text, set her phone down and looked back at the werewolves.

Notes; Uh oh. Is this going to be a battle of wills?!

To say that Ayame was surprised that she was going to meet the rest of Hykeem’s pack was an understatement. Then again, while Hykeem liked her, Laura didn’t. Still, Laura said nothing as he approached her, whispering that none of them were worse than Laura. She smiled politely, not really wanting to give Laura more reasons to dislike her, on top of whatever reasons she already had. The girl had laughed, but of course she had laughed, Hykeem had been the one to make the joke, not her, which was fine but it was worrisome about what she could and couldn’t do the remainder of the night. Another buzz made Ayame moved her attention from the duo and to her phone where she had another text from Peter. She rolled her eyes, ignoring it for the moment. She didn’t need Hykeem purposefully or accidentally reading whatever text Peter decided to send her.

Hykeem walked away towards the stairs and called the rest of the pack down. Ayame quickly responded to Peter’s text, still shaking her head at the man before she looked up, grinning a little as she heard footsteps heading down the stairs after hearing them speak to one another. Ayame stood up from her place on the couch and stepped up beside Hykeem as the children descended. The two children from earlier came down the stairs, Hykeem told her their names, before a set of twins, one of each gender, descended the stairs whom were named Glen and Mya. Then there were two guys. One of them was Liam and the other was Michael. Ayame Made sure to tuck their names away and repeated a few of them under her breath as she smiled and introduced herself to each.

Once everyone was fully introduced, everyone entered the family room for, what Ayame assumed, was some relaxation. It wasn’t until everyone had started to relax that Cierra had brought out a game of charades. She requested that everyone play and Ayame figured she would make the girl happy and agreed before she stated that they would split into teams of two and then she chose the two captains which would be Hykeem…and Ayame. The Druid looked over at her new friend, eyes narrowed playfully. “You’re going down, Lifeguard Boy,” she taunted playfully before she looked around, picking Liam first, for a reason she wasn’t sure. Perhaps it was because he gave off a vibe that was familiar to Peter’s and she found it strangely comforting.
