Skipping a Beat [Kaveri]

[attr="class","mouths1"]
There was many things Kaveri was learning not to do such as leaving a particular human being on his own and believing he would stay put. Of course, he didn't and of course he should of known better. But alas, Kaveri only had high hopes that the younger male would listen to him. So, when he stumbled upon Aiden moving around Camlorn on his own he was quite the bit surprised as well as slightly displeased. He should be at the house resting and adjusting to his leg in a safe environment. Not walking around Camlorn without someone near by to keep an eye out on him as well as others. What on earth was he going to do with this man?

A small sigh escaped the jelly as he pushed forward to catch up to Aiden. It didn't take him too long but instead of fully approaching he decided to linger behind him for a moment. He didn't want to get onto him and make him feel like an worthless idiot but he didn't want him getting hurt either. How should he handle the situation? Taking his time in merely watching Aiden he finally found the courage to walk up beside him as if it was only natural for him to be by the mans side. In Kaveri's hands was a few plastic bags that would contain a few house items as well as a few groceries.

"You seem to be getting around pretty good on your own now." Looking towards Aiden he offered him a small smile before adding. "But you could of waited until I got back if you wanted to go out and about." A light scolding and a light in a cheerful manner. Maybe that would be the way around it without making him feel foolish. There was a bit of awkward silence for a good ten seconds that Kaveri felt the urge to destroy. "Heading towards any particular place or did the little nomad in you finally come out?"

Slowly marching along, Kaveri could not help but glance down at the prosthetic. The medical device did not look comfortable in the slightest nor did it look very comfortable to wear. The noise he made was also a bit off putting with each clank. There wasn’t much he could actually do about it as he had no knowledge on how to help the other with the device. It would be up to Aiden to handle his own leg for the time being until he could understand how those things worked in the future. Strange, he had never had the urge to learn anything about tech until recently.

His thoughts ran about with a bit of confusion on just how comfortable he felt around the human only to let those thoughts pop like a poorly made bubble. Shooting Aiden a glare he had the full urge to slap his bags against the injuried man but knew better. However, the urge was very much there and Aiden fully knew it. The man knew what little buttons to hit to get the best reactions from the Jelly. How in the seven hells was he even slightly attracted to this idiot? All he ever did was cause little scuffs between them that turned into badgering. ”You do realize I can totally break those crutches, right?” Was his remark towards the little housewife remark. Of course, here he was shooting a threat at him rather then letting the words roll off like water. Sighing, ”Well, you do need walk more before you turn into a lumpy couch potato.” Playfully, he would reach out with his free hand and poke the younger one in the side.

He gave a slight nod of understanding towards there friends and left it at that. It would be best if they got out of their house before the baby came. They would need all the time to themselves soon but Kaveri would always be there to help them if they needed it. Raising a brow that the other all he could do was watch him with one hand on the hip until he fumbled in his steps. Kaveri instantly went to help him in fear that he might eat cement. ”Aiden! You okay? You should be----oh.” So it was the leg being a butt and not Aiden’s inability to walk a straight line. He let out a small sigh.

”Yes, its quite the bitch. We’ll have to tinker with it somehow so you don’t go around losing teeth and looking like a toothless lumpy coach potato.” Lord, he wished the surgery thing would come quicker. He wasn’t sure how much more any of them could take a flopping around Aiden. He much rather have him back at 100% and in better moods.

Aiden wouldn’t like it but Kaveri cocked his head to the side with a complete and utter judgmental look of disbelief. While he fully believed Aiden would never be a potato it was a lot of fun to make him think otherwise. Blond brows rose slowly at the taller male as he looked up at him with that never changed expression. ”S’cuse you, Sir.” He started with a clack of his tongue. ”My butt is in perfectly good shape I will have you know. I also have been exercising regularly even if you don’t happen to see it.” The jelly scuffed playfully while jerking his head to one side all while holding back a smile.

Returning to his original position of looking straight ahead, he raised his head a bit proudly as he took a few more steps ahead of Aiden. He decided then to make the man work a bit harder on those crutches. This only lasted for a few moments as the magi suddenly twisted on his heels to walk backwards. His brows rose once again. ”Oh ho! Seems someone is feeling rather confident. But I do hate to break it to you, Aiden Garnette, but you will not be kicking this ass anytime soon without falling on your own.” He pointed this out with a quick hand gesture to help get the point across. Moving his bags to be carried with one hand he pointed at the man.

”I think I can mouth off as much as I like right now because you can’t do a dang thing about it. It’s pretty satisfying really, Potato.” Ah, and now Aiden received a brand new name given to him by the jelly that never seemed to be too far away from him. A small chuckle escaped the magi as he kept walking backwards a little quicker now that Aiden was moving at a quicker pace. ”Though, I will admit your sudden increase in speed is rather impressive.” Twisting back into his previous stance he returned to Aiden’s side with the bags now behind his back as he moved along. Mostly, to protect his bottom from the man he was very certain would find a way to make him pay for his sass later.

A moment of silence transpired for a very short time, ”So, just gonna get ice cream? Or did you actually want some food? Cause I can cook tonight or which ever you would like.” Blue-violet orbs trailed back towards Aiden, lingering much longer then what would be considered appropriate for friendly banter. Said eyes trailed for a brief moment until he caught himself staring. Looking away, he adjusted his rainbow locks out of his face. His stomach suddenly felt like a dozen butterflies flapping around in there with the urge to voice a few things. But as usual, he easily slapped each butterfly one by one and kept his thoughts to himself. It wasn’t too hard either when Aiden opened his mouth and caused his brow to twitch.

Notes:SUCH SASS

[attr="class","mouths1"]
Blue-violent eyes narrowed at the crutch bearing man before him. He looked less then amused with the ex-hunter for a good second. His brows even went upwards as he apparently lost the ground he had just had. It was amazing how he felt like he had the upper hand and then Aiden came around and smacked him back down just a tad. It was a rather fun game between the two of them that Kaveri greatly enjoyed even though his face said otherwise. ”My butt is in great shape! It’s not my fault that your not looking at it at the wrong angle. Maybe you should take a better look or get some glasses, Crutches.“ He scuffed, all the while he wondered if he could do with a little more exercise. Might not hurt to add a few more minutes to his usual swimming.

”Pff, I have you know I can handle myself just fine so I think I could give you a run for your money.” Or at least provide at least five minutes of entertainment to say the least. Kaveri wasn’t the strongest man alive but he sure was quick on his feet, especially near water. He really doubted Aiden could catch him if he got a really good start especially now. Of course, when he was off those crutches it might prove to be a little more difficult to escape a well trained individual such as the man beside him. One that was now redirecting him towards an ice cream shop. The store looked more like a candy store then anything else and picturing the two of them walking into the place made Kaveri giggle. It must be a strange sight to see a magi covered in rainbows following after a man that looked like an ice cream craving wolf.

Upon entering, he looked at all the options and unlike his friend he was unable to instantly decide on what he wanted. He took a moment longer but eventually decided on a simple single scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough. Taking his cone the jelly snickered again and this time at Aiden. The guy looked so happy and cute to have ice cream that he looked almost child like for half a second. It had been a while since he saw him as thrilled as this and he had to admit it made him feel content. Thanking Aiden for his ice cream he followed him to the bench and plopped down beside him. The bags of goods rested at the foot of the bench while their owner made himself rather comfortable.

Taking in the scenery he smiled softly at the children roughing about on the playground. Their screams and giggles caused the jelly to watch them intently. One small boy was running away from a friend with a stick and tripped over a root. While he didn’t cry he quickly got up and ran to his mother like a trooper to complain about the one chasing him with a stick.

Enjoying his ice cream at his own pace the jelly snuck a glance towards Aiden. He looked as content as Kaveri was feeling. It had been such a long time since he saw Aiden look, well, content with something. It was a pleasant change. Humming softly to himself he tried to think of something to say but he couldn’t think of a single word. ”So, the potato likes vanilla ice cream with sprinkles, eh? I never pictured you a sprinkle kind of guy.” Teased the jelly. ”Its so manly.” Not quite what he was going for but oh well.

Notes:Is that a flirt I see there?

If ever Aiden was to receive the most heated look that the priest could muster now would be the time. Being the bottom of a joke wasn’t something he was often a fan at even if it was sometimes amusing. The urge to smack the human upside the head was rather high but he restrained himself somehow. A few words came muttered out of the jelly but nothing that Aiden would be able to distinguish. But he would probably get the idea that Kaveri “might” of called him a goddamn asshole.



Leaning back in the most lazy fashion possible he would make himself comfortable near Aiden. While he sat close to the human he made sure to keep at least a few inches between them. Either he was conscious on how close they sat together and it made him flustered or he just tired not to touch him so he wouldn’t be tempted to punch him. Neither option was fully clear but he did take note of the shifting man. Kaveri did everything in his power to fight off the slight blush creeping up his face. He turned that butterfly feeling in his stomach away and tried to find something else to focus on right then. Blond brows rose in an “S’Cuse you!” expression as he turned his head slightly towards the man. ”I am not chubby and just because I am covered in rainbows does not mean I want to eat myself.” He wiggled the cone at Aiden’s nose with a rather amused smirk.



The poor priest hadn’t even realized how bad that sentence sounded out loud but he couldn’t help it. Aiden was getting him flustered! He was making it very hard to keep his thoughts to himself or in a proper editied fashion that would be far more becoming of a well trained priest. Speaking of which, he had opened his mouth to give Aiden another bit of his mind but all hopes of words forming had been completely lost in the embrace that he wasn’t expecting. Sure, he was hyper aware of the moving arm but he didn’t think Aiden would actually make contact with him.



It felt like ages before he could even get himself to move and once he convinced himself it was best to look away rather then stare at the one holding him, he returned to his ice cream. Doing his best to once again fight that annoying blush touching his face. But now he had a new problem that he just discovered. The hand holding his ice cream had a very light electric blue tint radiating around it which meant that he had that same tint all around him. Oh, oh no. That was not good. He was not glowing! He refused to acknowledge it, taking that refusal into nothing but purely attacking his ice cream hurriedly in such a fashion he could keep himself busy. Maybe, just maybe, if he was lucky Aiden wouldn’t noticed it. But that was highly doubtful as he could be pretty observant -- painfully so.



Kaveri had successfully got his ice cream almost down to the top of the cone but that didn’t help him one bit. Nor him listening to the light buzzing of the insects. He needed to think of something else that kept his heart from trying to fly out of his chest and promptly get rid of the light glow. Luckily, Aiden finally pulled his arm away giving Kaveri some kind of solace even if only for a moment. A moment that he soon realized he all ready started to miss the light embrace they had just shared. Looks like his peaceful night was starting to become a tad more complicated and a bit...less relaxing for the enamored jellyfish.

Growing wise to Kaveri’s expressions was one thing but growing wise to what those expressions might mean was a whole another ball game Kaveri would rather not play with him. Well, if he had a say in the matter anyways which apparently he did not, nor would he ever for that matter. So of course when Aiden spoke once again the glowing ball of a magi just fumed in his seat. He had half a mind to take his ice cream and slam it into the humans face. But alas, he was a priest and had to be priest like. Instead he took the anger and finished his ice cream. His glowing charm did not decrease but it certainly increased vibrantly. ”You are a hideous human being, you know that?”

Huffing, he slumped into his seat further with arms crossed over his chest. It was utterly amazing how fast his heart beat for the human to his temper wanting him to cut the man in half. He wasn’t really sure if he was attracted to him or if he was secretly becoming a masochist from being around the smartass with an insult up each sleeve. Grumbling under his breath the poor jelly instantly shoot another look to Aiden, this time with a mixture of horror and annoyance. It seemed Aiden had noticed the glow, who wouldn’t, and now calling him out. Again, his heart thumped in his chest, ”Don’t flatter yourself, my body just doesn’t know what the hell it wants to say. But I highly doubt its to tell you that you win anything, you egotistical idiot.”

Standing quickly, Kaveri would reach down and snatch up his bag of goods. A few more moments he was walking away from Aiden, leaving him behind. All while trying to get himself to settle down. Being angry wasn’t going to do anything for him nor was the butterflies freaking out in his gut. It was truly a bad mixture that needed a cure. ”I rather not have a drink with you right now. I am going back and going to make something to eat.” Then possibly get a drink for himself and only for himself. Shaking his rainbow covered head with a mutter, ”Why the hell I am I even attracted to this goddamn egotistical, smartass, slow moving, jerk face. I hope he falls on his face..." Maybe when they got back he could toss some medication at him that will make him more bearable. It was time for his meds anyways, wasn't it?
