Full House (Hekate) (R)

Zephyr walked quickly from the halls into the courtyard. Looking around, he was happy the area was vacant. Well, if it wasn't, we could fix that. "Shut up..." he growled between his teeth. Don't get all pissy with me just because your parchment for that bullshit class wasn't good enough. Zephyr, maybe if you'd sleep more, your studies wouldn't slip. "Tell that to them..." he growled again, tipping his head towards Eryx and Calix. Can I help that you pass up every single piece of ass that you could take to bed? And, in my defense, I've been cooped up in here for- "SHUT UP!!!!!" Zephyr yelled to the seemingly empty yard and sat heavily on one of the benches under a snowy tree.

Pressing his hands to his temples, he tried to simply have a moment of peace. That's all! That's all he wanted! He was so focused on simply trying to keep control over the Fellows, he didn't notice anyone walk up and try to get his attention.

Apollo watched as Zephyr entered the yard muttering to himself again, the cigarette in his fingers fully burnt he kicked the butt aside as he walked over to Zeph "sounds like its loud in there" he said tucking a stray piece of red hair behind his ear. Today he dressed Hekate in usual slacks and t-shirt with a heavy coat and a messy red bun. "Want me to beat up Eryx again?" he smirked.

Raising his head to see Hekate standing before him, or rather Apollo standing before him, her heard a hiss in his ear from Eryx. As if pretty boy could fucking take me... Tilting his head, a sort of sneer pulling his lip for a moment before returning to normal, Zephyr fought to hold Eryx back. "I wish... Not just him this time..." he said with a strained voice. He was fortunate that he had a cousin that, in a way, shared what he was going through. It didn't make it any easier, but the thought was nice.

Stradling the bench he sat facing the sideways sitting boy "try to settle down in there gentlemen" Apollo said in his calm voice "let the man relax..." he winced sympathetically "you need sleep mate" he took note of the bags under his eyes. Usually Hekate had the magic touch able to sooth his voices with apollo they fell flat.

He could feel an onslaught from Calix and Eryx brewing at Apollo's remark. And sure enough, shortly after the remark to calm down and give him a moment's peace, the two of them exploded. A good fuck would do him good! When was the last time you got any, Zeph? Huh? Forget fucking! Salazar! Blow something up! Better yet, go to sleep and let me pilot for a spell! Sure as shit I'd do better than you! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! Wincing at the storm in his mind, Zephyr put his hands over his eyes and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. Soon, Osirus had had enough and, with Theon's help, managed to quiet the two hot heads down."Tell me something I don't know..." Zephyr said frankly, glancing at Apollo.

Apollo closed his eyes for a moment He needs you chick he said internally, waking from her slumber Hekate yawned and within moments was in control. "Zephy" she said as she pulled her hair out of the bun the red tendrills falling over her body. Sitting correctly on the bench she slid over to him and put her arms around him "Come on guys quiet down" she urged "let him have some room to breathe"

Zephyr barely felt Apollo's arm around him as the arguments behind his eyes did nothing but escalate. Soon everyone was in on the madness that Calix and Eryx were causing. In his mind, Zephyr finally saw Osirus literally grab the two of them by the back of their shirts and fling them into the dark reaches of his mind, much to the angry protests of the two Fellows. As his mind quieted, he felt the tender touch of Theon as he appeared and kneeled in front of him, putting his hands on Zephyr's face. "It's going to be alright, Baby.... Look at me.... Come on..." he cooed to him. Looking up, Zephyr saw the blue eyed boy, a few years older than he was before him. Tilting his head, Theon smiled before leaning in and kissing his forehead. "'Atta boy. Let her take care of ya, for a spell. We'll handle those dimwits," he said with a wink before vanishing.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Zephyr finally felt his body relax a bit. He could hear the angry echos of all but Theon, but it was tolerable. Leaning back, he finally felt Apollo's arm around him. Turning to look at him, he noticed the change in how his hair was. Hekate was driving, now. "I don't know how you do it, Hekate... But...thanks," he said as small trickle of blood slowly made it's way from his nose to his chin. Zephyr was so strained, he didn't even notice or feel it.

Reaching out she gently wiped the blood off his face with the sleeve of her blazer and kissed his cheek nuzzling him "Shh its no problem boo" she said caressing his face "i know they dont entirely mean to hurt you"

As his cousin wiped his face, Zephyr reached up to touch just under his nose. Looking at his fingers he cursed under his breath softly before pulling out a hankerchief and holding it to his nose to stop the bleeding. He should have expected it after the past few days they had been having and now this. "Just drive me even more bonkers than I already am..." he mused with a soft chuckle, coupled with a nod and laugh from Theon. Bringing his blue eyes to her face, they were once again bright as the storm within them was calm, for the moment, but all the hard signs of fatigue were there. "What brings you out here?" he asked.

"We were just having a smoke" she said keeping her arms around him "Apollo has been flirting quite a bit lately he's making it impossible for me but also getting me some pretty sexy people" she winked with a laugh.

Nodding, Zephyr let out a calming breath. "Apollo has always been quite the flirt. But, then again, you are, too, right?" he teased managing his crooked smile for her. He knew about Apollo's antics, as well as Hekate's, but he didn't judge. If Calix could have his way, no one would see Zephyr thanks to him being in bed with anything that walked by wearing a skirt. "At least he's bringing you people you like..." he mused, much to Theon's delight, as the boy smiled. Of all the Fellows, he was one that Zephyr never really had a problem with.

"True very true" she said pecking a kiss on his lips quickly she always wanted to make out with him but she feared how he'd react so she sated her desire with quick little pecks of affection. "how are hiding things from your dorm mates?"

The little token of her affection made Zephyr smile. He wasn't going to lie, Hekate was attractive, but between the constant storm in his mind and keeping things as hidden as he could, he didn't spend a lot of time thinking about such things. Zephyr rarely thought about girls and the like, but once in a while he did. Taking a moment to check his nosebleed, he found it had stopped and tucked the hankerchief into his back pocket. Reaching up and over her head, Zephyr put his arm along the back of the bench and gently pulled his cousin to him. "It's something.... But, so far so good. I find if things start to get bad, leaving and finding a place to be alone for a while helps," he answered her, with a small shrug. "You're lucky, you know... You have it so much easier..." Zephyr told her, looking up at the cloudy sky. Apollo can be a handful, too, Baby. Zephyr chuckled at the remark that only he heard reasoning that Theon was right.

"He's good but he's also a handful" she confessed "though when he takes over i don't have to worry. I do have it a bit easier"

Told ya! Theon threw his head back and laughed as Osirus joined him, obviously frustrated with the other two. Zephyr felt the prickle of tension from the older man, but it soon ebbed away. "What do your dorm mates say? I mean, you just bounce between him and you, making little changes," he asked tiltling his head allowing his neck to crack slightly. In a way he envied his cousin since she could let Apollo take over. Zephyr never dared to let the others drive. It was too risky. Knowing those two, Hogwarts would burn to the ground if they were given control. No girl would be safe...

"Not many notice theres a faction who know me as Apollo and recognize me as a efeminat boy and a faction who know me as hekate who know me as a girl not many realize were the same. My one dorm mate, Faye hasn't figured it out yet though i might just tell her. it may make her feel better"

That explains things... Zephyr had heard talk about both Apollo and Hekate but as two completely different people, no one seemed to notice that the two were actually one in the same. Don't know if it's wise to tell such a thing to the girl... Might want to tell her that, Zeph... "You think it's a good idea to tell her? How old is she?" Zephyr asked concern over the idea filling his eyes. "I mean, it's your choice, but you know... Could backfire, couldn't it?" he added, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.

"she's eleven and has no friends i'm her only friend and if it goes wrong i could always kill her" she said with a shrug "which i have no issue doing"

Theon sighed. That would be a waste... Shhhh... Zephyr shrugged, "Guess you're right. Besides, one is a little easier to explain than four..." As a chill crept up his spine, Zephyr knew that Calix had rejoined the mix, followed closely by Eryx, who was still fuming at being 'escorted out'.

She held his hand her fingers rubbing circles on his palm "no one will find out your guys dont take over there not allowed to come out and play"

Which is fucking bullshit, if you ask me! Apollo get to do whatever the fuck he wants, whenever the fuck he wants, and we are stuck in here to simply watch the world pass us by... The clouds slowly began to return to Zephyr's eyes as Eryx's comment sounded loudly in his mind. Let the boy be, Eryx. We can't take over and you know it. You want him locked up for good? Whatever... Closing his eyes, Zephyr swallowed and inhaled slowly before letting it out as the two snapped at one another back and forth. Resolved to just let things be, for once, Eryx took a seat in what looked like an armchair made of shadows, rolling his eyes and grumbling to himself as the others simply kept quiet.

Looking back at Hekate, he gave her hand a gentle squeeze as he felt his muscles tense slightly at the new brooding energy in his mind. "I certainly hope not. Don't think you'd want them to come out and play, anyways. Might not be anything left if they did..." he mused, managing a small smile. Osirus shot Eryx and Calix a knowing look to keep their teeth together at Zephyr's last comment, knowing the two of them were just itching to say something. It was bad enough they pushed the boy this far, no need to make it worse.

"I think i'd get along with all of them just fine what little i've spoken to osoirus and theon we've gotten on even Eryx and Calix are fine but i understsand" she said getting up and stretching "come on lets go back to my dorm for a bit"

The Fellows all nodded at Hekate's comment about getting on with her, even Eryx shrugged, his version of a nod. As she stood and offered for him to go with her back to her dorm, Zephyr hesitated for a moment before getting up and putting his hands in his pockets to follow her, a habit he picked up when the Fellows first showed up. When you get there, Zeph, take some time to relax. Hekate knows about us. As long as her dorm is empty, everything should be fine. You need to rest. Baby, you're pushing yourself too hard. It's not good... I know, I know... Putting his guard back up fully, Zephyr fell in next to his cousin. "Sounds good," he said liking the idea of being someplace 'safe' for a little while.

As they got to the dorm she locked the door "Faye went home for the weekend" she informed him as she kicked off her shoes "so you can stay here and maybe try a funny thing like relaxing" she teased dragging pillows and blankets over to the fire she made them a little next and brought out a box before relaxing against a pillow "come on then relax a bit Zephy and you lot behave and let the man be"

Stepping into his cousin's dorm and hearing her lock the door, he looked around and confirmed what she told him about her dorm mate not being around. Relax, Zeph... Following Hekate over to the fire he slipped his shoes of as she had done and sat with her on the blanket. "Yeah....Try..." he scoffed, his words tinting with the irritation Eryx was giving off. The Fellow wanted to retort, but he bit his tongue. Maybe, if he behaved and let Zephyr be, maybe they'd get to come out and play. Giving his head a small shake, he said, sheepishly, "Sorry..."
