[ It probably takes close to ten minutes for Adonis to text him back. He could use emojis like he did to Piper earlier when she insisted that he should be there, but he didn't. ]
To be fair, I planned on reaching out... eventually. And, I know.
It's hard not having him here.
[ He drops a pin to his location before taking another burst of his anger out not he demon before him. Does he hope Mikaelson will find him? Probably. ]
[ And in his mind, that says it all. It'd been a week since losing both David and Jordan and other than Piper, he didn't know who else to turn to. Not that he would have turned to Piper just now, she was going through her own grief.
But, he should have thought about Klaus, at the very least. They'd spoken to each other off and on for the last few hundred years. Still.
He looks at the demon before him and hums to himself. ]
Better get here fast then.
Either way, there will be more until I get the information I want.
At least you still have your brothers and sister around.
[ Which was shitty of him to say, he was sure but it likely showed how much he was feeling alone.
Even with Klaus coming.
"You may have wished I had taken mercy on you," he says flippantly to the demon when he hears the pounding on the door. Within a blink of an eye, he's at the front door, unlocks it and steps aside to let the older vampire in. ]
[ And he knows it's true. He has his siblings, most of them, and a chance to spend more time with them. Adonis has lost that now. He knew that he and David spent so much of their time between the two of them. At least not with other vampires. Now that was gone.
Klaus steps inside, and straight up against Adonis.
He smiles. ]
If you want one of them, you can have them, but I think you'd rather have me around.
[ There's a hint of a thread there, but he hasn't acted yet. ]
[ Adonis shuts the door once he steps inside and if he's shocked by the way he steps up against him, he doesn't show it.
Instead he allows himself a little smirk in amusement and can't help but tease him just a little. ]
Rebekah is gorgeous, there's no doubt there. Elijah is a little stuffy for my tastes. But, what makes you think I'd rather have you around, Mikaelson?
[ Though he knows there are others around but they're the ones that he hears about the most. Despite the teasing, he can feel the hint of a thread to Klaus but he doesn't acknowledge it just yet.
Instead, he studies the other man for a long moment and tilts his head an acknowledgement. ]
[ He couldn't help but to be amused by that. Elijah and Rebekah were his promise, the ones who swore to be there with him always and had been with him the most.
As David had been for a time, and perhaps he should have seen to Adonis more often. Whoever he wanted to be known as.
He leans in a bit closer, his brow to the other man's, knowing they're both hurting and trying not to entirely make it about himself. He could manage that. In small amounts. ]
Why didn't I? If she hadn't come to me, when would I have known?
[ He can't help the little smirk of amusement. He loved David and didn't regret all the years they had (though it was and could never be enough). He was also glad that he at least communicated off and on with Klaus but wished they'd all gotten together at some point in the last four hundred years. But, this is what they had and now, well he had the opportunity to know David's sire, didn't he? To some degree at least. Who knew how long he'd stick around, after all.
He breathes in slowly when Klaus rests his brow against his and looks at him. He at least owed the other vampire honesty. ]
I don't know. It's been a week, Klaus. A week that it was all I could do to make sure they were given a proper send-off, that Piper didn't follow after them and come back to... me, Adonis. Not Ben who I was for the last several decades who liked to almost ignore his vampire side.
[ He lifts a hand to trace over his jaw. ]
You were on the list though which is why I told her to come and tell you because I didn't think I could. And frankly, it gave her something to do.
[ Despite the infamy, there was something about secrets that came naturally to being a vampire. Make connections, but never too close. Acknowledge your line, but don't let it be part of you. Unless, of course, you were one of the originals. Then it was everything, wasn't it?
The answer is logical and it makes sense, and he hates it for that. He believes it though. For all that he's angry, he believes the man before him. ]
And now? Will you ignore it now?
[ Not just his vampire side but the vampires around him. His lineage and the life he could have as a vampire. ]
Are you on that verge of well? Should I worry about you walking into the sunrise?
[ Adonis watches Klaus and slides his finger tips down the length of his neck to his shoulder. He was tempted to lean in just a little and bite at his bottom lip but he knew now wasn't the time for something like that. He didn't care they'd just met - Adonis typically turned to things when he was hurting or upset. He considers the question and cocks his head. ]
No, I'm done ignoring it.
[ He goes quiet when Klaus asks him whether or not he should be worried that Adonis would follow suit. ]
I have no plans on meeting whatever maker there is until I kill every fucking bastard who came after me and mine. After that? I don't give a shit. But until that time comes, they'll wish they had taken me out instead.
[ Adonis wasn't exactly known for his patience. His ruthlessness and cruelty back in the day? Sure. His impatience and appetite for sex, blood, and destruction? Absolutely. But he would learn patience for this and make sure he got exactly what he wanted.
In the back of his head, he also thought of taking the Underworld for himself. ]
[ Only when he assured him of that did he give into temptation. Leaning in closer to Adonis, one hand catching into the waistband of his trousers and jerking him close. ]
You'll remember how to give a shit. You'll remember why you live. Until then, let's destroy them all.
[ It's easy to hold on, to cling to someone of his line who he barely knew. David had known him though and that meant enough to him. ]
[ Adonis smirks when Klaus jerks him close and tightens his hand on his shoulder. ]
And you'll be here to make sure I remember?
[ It's asked teasingly but there may be a slight hint of vulnerability underneath the cocky smirk. He already lost his sire and a girl that he loved within the last week. ]
For the demon? Well, I left some for you to deal with, I'm waiting for him to give up the name of the fucker who made the hit. Then we kill him.
[ Adonis nods in agreement. He was with Klaus on not letting them break you or win, or, hell, even see them get to you. ]
I will never let them win.
[ He studies Klaus silently for a long moment before nodding when he agrees to being there. And then, Klaus's mouth is on his in a hard kiss and Adonis growls softly. He leans in and bites down on his bottom lip before pulling back and leads Klaus to the basement stairs and down to where the demon is still tied to the chair. ]
I'm not sure if you two have met - deadmeat, meet Klaus Michaelson. Klaus - deadmeat.
[ Not his real name but Adonis didn't care, obviously. It didn't really matter. He'd be dead by sunrise. ]
[ The kiss is rough, sharp and full of anger. Damn but Klaus likes where that might be leading, the promise of later to it. ]
And you're not doing it alone.
[ He murmurs the words, suddenly that felt important and he couldn't help but assure the other vampire of that. It felt as important to him as it did letting the other know that.
Well well, he had to admit... ]
You give the best presents, don't you?
[ Klaus stepped closer before squatting before the demon to look him in the eyes. ]
I'm going to guess you've already chosen the hard way? Not willing to make it easy by telling us just who went after our friends?
[ Adonis would be lying if he said he wasn't looking forward to whatever may happen next with Klaus. He'd liked the feel his lips against his and that strength of his body against his own.
Although Klaus's words were murmured, Adonis heard them clear as day and allowed him just a tiny little smile. ]
I really do - call it a gift of mine.
[ Adonis leans against the wall as he watches Klaus, letting his gaze trail over him slowly before focusing on the conversation at hand.
The demon, bleeding out on the floor, glares at the vampire, remaining silent. ]
It would be so much simpler for you if you told us what we wanted to know.
un: mikaelson
un: adonis
I didn't know what to say.
Or how to say it.
no subject
That answer isn't what he expected.
What have you done then?
You planning to do it alone?
no subject
Getting information.
As easy as that would be, no. I don't fully plan to do it alone. Piper deserves some retribution and as his sire, if you want to be included...
no subject
Just thinking of that since I hit you up?
It's not just because of who I was to him. David is someone I've been proud of, and you as his as well.
Where are you?
no subject

Yeah well, you don't have to do this alone, Adonis.

Save me a piece.
