Damien p.o.v.

"Dame your friends are here, so get your ass down here," my mother yells waking me up from my nap. I groan in response. Ugh. Why God? Couldn't you let me sleep for another 10 minutes.

I finally get up and walk out of my room and go downstairs. I yawn and stretch when I get to the bottom step. My shirt lifts up a little exposing my stomach.

"Damn those abs," my friend Jordan says. I roll my eyes at him.

"Can you go one day without checking me out," I ask him. "Yeah...if you let me ride you," he says.

"I'm not having sex with you."

"C'mon. Gay sex is basically anal," he whines.

Me and Jordan go way back. He has blonde hair, brown eyes, and is 6'1 which is shorter than me by 2 inches. He is really loud and outgoing. We have been friends since kindergarten and have gone through a lot together. Then in sixth grade he came out as gay and has been hitting on me ever since. Mostly as a joke though.

"Hey Damein," I hear somebody say softly. I look over to see Ivan.

Ivan is a friend I met freshman year. He is really shy and quiet. He is 5'7 has black hair which is usually in a beanie and blue eyes. I met him because some seniors were bullying him and I stepped in and beat the crap out of them. We've been friends ever since.

"Will you take your face out of that book and hang with us," Zane yells at Kendall who is reading a tech book. Probably for some death ray he is creating or something.

"No," Kendall says simply. Zane groans.

Zane is 6' feet tall, has black hair, light brown eyes, and has a little beard. He is rebellious sometimes and gets in trouble a lot. I met him him last year. We would park our motorcycles right next to each other and we would see each other everyday and eventually became friends.

Kendall has dark blonde hair, dark blue eyes, and is 5'10. He wears glasses because he hates the idea of stuff touching his eyes. He is a bit of tech wiz. He may be a genius with technology stuff, but when it comes to other stuff like English or history he is as dumb as the rest of us. I met him because I needed him to hack into the school system to change my grades. He also helped me hack into the schools vending machines to get free snacks.

"stop bugging the guy, Zane," Kyle says.

Kyle is 6'2, hair brown hair and eyes. He is a little bit of a player, but he is also kind and protective. I met him in seventh grade on the football team when I wanted to play football. I was later kicked out of football because I was too rough, but me and Kyle kept being friends.

I then look over and see Jordan and Braydon talking to a black haired brown eyed guy. Braydon is 6'1, has blonde hair, and blue eyes. He is a bit of a jerk, but if you get to know him he isn't that bad of a guy. He is my second in command so I've known him my whole life.

"That's Ian. Jordan invited him. I think he wants to be friends with him," Ivan whispers.

"I think he wants to be more than just friends Ivan," I whisper back. Ivan blushes in realization, but then looks a little sad.

"Dinner is ready. Damien invite your friends too," Kara yells from the kitchen.

"Do you guys want to join," I ask them. They all nod. As we walk to the kitchen I see the basement door open and out walks my sister and her friends.

Eros walks out and accidentally bumps into Ian and almost falls down the stairs, but Ian catches him.

"I'm so sorry," he says while blushing.

"It's alright. I couldn't let somebody as cute as you get hurt," he says. Eros blushes harder and I feel my dragon get restless. We continue to walk to dining room which is on the other side of the house. Our house is huge so it is a long walk...well to me at least.

'He shouldn't be touching things that aren't his' he growls out.

'So what' I ask. I admit Ian touching him got me a little mad, but I don't get why. Probably since Jordan wants to be with him. I'm just looking out for my friend.

"Damn. I just lost the hot guy, but I can see why. Damn that kid is really cute," Jordan says.

"What do you mean," I ask.

"I may have had a chance before, but I can't compete with a cutie like him. I must let him go," Jordan says.

"Hey you still might have a chance."

"Nah. Too much work. I wasn't even that into him. Besides I still have this cutie over here," he says and grabs Ivan around the shoulder pulls him closer. Ivan squeaks then blushes. "Aww. You're so cute when you blush Ivy," Jordan coos and gives him kiss on the cheek. Ivan blushes harder and covers his face with his hands to hide his blush.

"Jordan stop teasing. Ivan," Kyle says.

"What? I'm just having fun. I wouldn't take his innocence. Besides he's straight...for now," Jordan says then winks at Ivan.

"I'm not that innocent," Ivan comments.

"Really? Are you still a virgin," Jordan asks.

"Not a back door one anymore," he mumbles. My group all stop in our tracks except for Ian who is flirting with Eros.

"WHAT," we scream. Ivan jumps. "I was just k--," Ivan starts, but gets interrupted by Jordan. He grabs Ivan and turns him around to face him.

"Who's the man who touched you? When was it? Where does he live? I'm going to kill the guy for taking your innocence," Jordan growls out. We are all surprised. Jordan is never angry. He is always care free and happy.

Ivan does the unexpected. He starts to giggle. Jordan looks confused. "I was kidding Jordy. Nobody has touched me. Besides as you said, I'm straight...for now," Ivan says while still giggling. Jordan sighs in relief.

"Don't joke about that stuff, Ivy," Jordan says.

"Why not? You do," Ivan asks.

"Because I'm older," Jordan counters. Ivan rolls his eyes.

"Jordy, I'm older by three weeks," he reminds him.

"Well then because...I'm taller," Jordan says.

"That makes no sense."

"Your face makes no sense."

"Your mom makes no sense."

They picker on as we continue to walk to the dining room.

"You know they like each other," Eros whispers to me. I get startled. When did he come here? Then I thought of what he just said.

"No that's just how they are," I tell him. He rolls his eyes and mumbles something about straight men before looking at me.

"Do you really not see it," he asks.

"If there was something between them I would know."

"Unless you're dense. When was the last time any of you called Ivan Ivy?"

"Nobody calls him that. Only Jordan."

"What about the nickname Jordy?" I laugh a little at that.

"Nobody. He will beat up anybody other than Ivan if they call him Jordy. He hates it," I tell him. I'm starting to see why people may think they like each other.

"Who brought Ian," he asks.

"Jordan, why," Kyle asks jumping into our conversation. Eros snorts.

"He brought him here to get Ivan jealous. I think it work too, because why would Ivan say that. He doesn't seem like the joking type to me. He probably did that to get some attention from Jordan," he tells us.

That's when all the pieces fit together. All the memories of how they acted together makes sense. Oh. My. God. They like each other.

"How the hell did you figure that out in five minutes when we've known them for years," Kyle asks astonished.

Eros laughs. He has such a great laugh. "Did you guys really not know?"

We nod our heads. "Psh. Next thing you're going to tell me you didn't know those two had sex," Eros says while pointing at Zane and Kendall. My eyes go wide. He has to be joking with me. Zane and Kendall.

"Oh my god you two had sex," Kyle screams in surprise at Zane and Kendall. The two boys blush giving us our answer. Wow are all my friends gay. Well I can't say anything since I do enjoy blow jobs from guys as much as girls.

"Okay. Maybe I should go," Eros says. Then runs over to Diana and her friends.

Well that was interesting.

Eros p.o.v.

I can't believe that just happened.

The whole Ivan and Jordan thing was obvious. You can see the way they look at each other that they like each other. The only reason they aren't together is because Ivan is too shy to try anything and Jordan is too scared to ask him out. Maybe they need a push in the right direction.

Now the whole those two guys having sex thing was basically a joke gone wrong. I was going to say just kidding, but before I said it that other guy had to scream it and make them blush which was a giveaway that they did something. I don't think they had sex though or else they would either be acting like a couple or avoiding each other.

Right now we are sitting at the dining room eating with my new friends, Damien's friends, my family, and Damien's family. This table is huge to hold this many people.

"So which one of you are older JJ or Gabby," Sarah asks bringing me out of my own thoughts.

"I'm older," JJ answers.

"But only by 5 months," Gabby adds. Because of our animal sides castor pregnancy can last from about 1 month to 15 months, but they usually last 5 months though.

"Wow you had her right after him," Sarah says.

"Well not exactly. It took me 6 and half months with JJ so I thought that's how long it was going to take, but she surprised us by coming out in 3 months. All my children it took different times. The twins took 5 months. Eros was actually the longest with 9 months," my mother tells her. She also seems to be thinking about something and has a sad smile before she covers it.

"Wow. My twins took long too. 7 and half months. Actually their birthday is next week on Sunday. You guys are still coming right," Sarah says.

"Of course. Well we have to at least since I'm cooking and Theo is photographing," momma says.

"We will too. Unless I get tons of homework from my professors," JJ says.

"Oh yeah. You're in the college part of the school. Have you decided on what you guys are going to be," Sarah asks.

"Well I am going to be a record producer," Ryder says happily.

"Well I want to be a fashion designer," Scarlett says.

"I want to be a professional athlete then become a coach," JJ says.

"I still don't know if I want to be a CEO or a Lawyer," Gabby says.

"Wow those are all great careers. And Gabby you must be really smart to take on either of those jobs. I'm a lawyer so I know the stress of them too," Sarah says.

"Yeah I know, but I'm not as smart as Eros over here," Gabby says. Oh shit. Why did she have to bring me up?

"Yeah he is super smart. He gets all A's and has like 4.0," JJ tells them.

"If it wasn't for all the moving around we did he probably would have started college with us last year," Scarlett adds.

"Yeah just because he still had 2 credits to do they made him take a full schedule. Well except for his last period class where he interns for the school library," Ryder says.

"I thought he got payed. Don't interns not get payed," my father asks.

"He is a payed intern or something. It's like 10 bucks an hour and he stays an extra hour so he works 2 hours a day. So he makes 20 dollars everyday," my mother answers him.

They always do this. I always somehow become the center of attention with my family and I hate it. It's probably since I don't talk about myself a lot they feel like they need to talk about me a lot.

"Wow really Eros," Terrance ask.

"Yeah it's no big deal. I can just remember stuff easily and most of what they teach you in school is just remembering," I tell him.

"Psh please don't be modest. The only reason he is taking easy classes this year is because he already took all the AP, Advanced, and Honor classes," Gabby says. I look over at everybody and all their jaws were dropped.

Okay yes I took all those classes but as I said most of school is just remembering stuff and I have a good memory. Plus I didn't really have that many friends so I had nothing else to do other than my art and reading.

"That's amazing Eros. What are you thinking of doing when you grow up," Sarah asks. I also hate that question. Most people make fun of me for my answer. They say I have so much potential for other stuff, but I don't really want to.

"I want to be an artist and a librarian," I say softly while looking down. I always had a passion for art and books.

"That's cool," Damien says. "Yeah it is. I completely understand where you're coming from I love books," Sarah says. "Yeah and I've seen your art from your parents whenever they come to visit. It's amazing and I've shown it to some art professors and they can't believe somebody so young could be so skilled," Terrance says.

I look up to see if they're being for real or not and find them genuinely smiling at me. They really support my decision. The only other people who have supported me were my family.

"You need to show us some of your art Eros," Diana says. "Yeah," my other friends and Damien's friends agree. I smile at all of them.

Damien p.o.v.

I don't know why but seeing Eros happy actually made me happy. His smile gave me butterflies which I haven't felt since I was in kindergarten. I don't remember who the person was, but I remember how they always made me feel. I would always force them to be in a relationship with me. We wouldn't do anything other than hold hands and cuddle with each other during nap time.

After dinner Diana convinced my friends and hers to play Truth or Dare. We went into the basement and now we're in a circle. With a bottle in the middle.

"I'll start," Diana say as she spins the bottle. The bottle lands on Gina.

"Truth or Dare," Diana asks.

"Dare," she says.

"I dare you to kiss Kyle." Gina gets up and walks to Kyle and kisses his cheek and goes back.

"Boo," her friends say and I laugh.

"Hey you didn't say where," she says.

"Whatever your turn," Lane says. She spins the bottle and it lands on Kyle.

"Truth or dare," she asks.

"Truth," he says.

"Okay. Is it true that you lost your virginity in a bathroom stall." Kyle scrunches his face.

"Ew no. Whoever started that rumor is weird," he says. He spins the bootle and it lands on Ivan. I see a smirk on his face.

"Truth or Dare," he asks. Ivan thinks about before saying, "Dare."

Before Kyle can say anything I hit his arm and give him a warning look. We do tease Ivan a lot, but I know too much will freak him out. He is really innocent.

'Relax' Kyle mouths. I nod my head.

"I dare you to sit on Jordan's lap for the rest of the game," Kyle says. Okay that isn't that bad. Ivan blushes really hard before walking to Jordan.

"Come here and put your sweet cheeks on my lap," Jordan tells him while patting his lap. Ivan blushes harder before sitting down. We all laugh at how cute he is being.

"I might start calling you that from now on," Jordan says. "Shut up," Ivan says.

"Whatever you say sweet cheeks," he says before kissing his cheeks. Ivan pulls off his beanie and hides his face in it.

After about 20 minutes of playing Jenna's stomach is covered in ice cream, Zane has peanut butter all over his face, Diana has lipstick on her cheeks, Jordan and Lane didn't have a shirt, and I learned something's about people that I didn't want to know about.

Jenna spins the bottle and it lands on Eros finally. He is the only one that hasn't gone yet.

"Truth or Dare," Jenna asks.

"Truth," he says.

"'Tell us about your first crush."

Eros smiles and blushes a little. "Well it was in kindergarten when my family still lived in the clan. There was this boy in my class that I would always bump heads with. I didn't really know I liked him till I was older and understood it more. Anyway he was super possessive. I had to hold his hand when we walked with our friends, he would make me his teddy bear during nap time, and kiss his cheek when we met and left school. Even though we would fight though he would also be kind and sweet. Mhm he was also my first kiss," he tells us. He smiles at the memory. I feel my dragon getting really happy for some reason.

"Aww," the girls coo. I look over to Ivan and Jordan and see Ivan laying on Jordan's bare chest content and Jordan holding him. Then I look at Jordan's face and his eyes are wide and his mouth is dropped.

I wonder what he is thinking about.
