After a while the taller male returned his jaw clenched as he was not able to catch who was lurking about near his home. Returning over to where Tanner was, "Are you alright? No one came around here near you did they?" he asked wanting to make sure the youth was alright.

I am the manry-est of men!

[TannerSaunders]

"I-I'm okay. No one came near me either. Are you? Okay, I mean?" Tanner knew the other was pissed that he hadn't caught whoever the man was. He held out the Jacket and pulled the bag from his shoulder to hand it to Nikko. "And here, I didn't want them to just lay on the ground. I'm sorry you didn't catch him."

[NikkoGallarado]

"I am fine, but I am also glad you are well." as he took the jacket placed it around the teens shoulders then looked around some as he was able to in away unclench his jaw. "It will be fine, I know what they smell like so if they come around again I will be ready for then. Come let's go in side."

I am the manry-est of men!

[TannerSaunders]

Tanner ducked his head, his face burning at Nikko's actions and words. He nodded slowly, still trying to hide his face and let the blush go away as he followed. If Riley were more like this..maybe. Tanner pushed the thought away, walking into the house after Nikko.

[NikkoGallarado]

Once in side, Nikko looked around seeing everything was alright. Meaning that who was there was just watching his home had not entered. "Boys?" he called out waiting a moment. After a quiet pause a set of running foot steps could be heard. "Dad, dad, are you okay?" came a voice, rounding the corner was teen that looked like Nikko almost but with purple eyes then another. "Ace was starting to worry..." the other teen crossed his arms across his chest looking to the side. The taller male, nodded some. "I am fine, we have a guest." as he gestured to Tanner. The twins looked at him, "Whoa where did you come from? And are you new around here?" it was rare they saw another teen.

I am the manry-est of men!

[TannerSaunders]

Being the center of attention suddenly, the teen didn't really know what to do but wave a little. "I guess you could say that I'm new. I lived a little ways away from here in an apartment with my..roommate for a while." He replied, looking down at his feet and then back up at the boys. They really did look like their dad.

[NikkoGallarado]

"This awesome~!" Ace grew excited as he reached over taking a hold of Tanner's arm. "You live with a roommate, that sounds pretty cool. I share a room with Demetri." he said as his twin nudge him. "okay Ace, quit trying to take all his attention, I wanna know who the kid is as well." as the other walked over wanting to talk as well. Nikko looked at them all smiled as he turned and walked away heading into another room.

I am the manry-est of men!

[TannerSaunders]

Tanner smiled at Ace when he took hold of his arm. The teen seemed extremely excited to see him as did Demetri who was now just as close. He looked up to see Nikko walking out of the room and turned his attention back to the teens."It was pretty cool. I enjoyed the most of it while it lasted." All good things must come to an end eventually, "I hope you both don't mind me staying here for a bit until I can find myself another place..."

[NikkoGallarado]

"No way, that means someone new to talk to. We come here every winter and see no one so, we say welcome and stay as long as you like!" Ace rambled on. "Dad say that people come into others lives to met new people or learn new experiences or just to have a moment to start over." as he pulled him along. Demetri followed suite, "Grandpa says, that people show up cause something brought them to another person." the other said. Ace didn't answer him since he didn't stay with the man. "I guess? But ummm so how long have you lived here? How did you come across dad?"

I am the manry-est of men!

[TannerSaunders]

"Thank you.."Tanner let himself be pulled along, listening to the boys talk. In truth, starting over did sound nice and he was learning new things. Demetri's words had Tanner looking the way Nikko had gone. Had what happened between Riley and him really brought them together? He shook his head. 'I shouldn't be thinking about something like that.' He thought, biting his lip. "I lived in the next town over before Riley and me moved in together." His hand reached down to touch the ring in his pocket that Riley had given him a week ago. "I uh..had a fight with my roommate and the cafe your dad was at was just down the road. I needed something to calm my nerves and warm me, so I went in to get some hot chocolate and Nikko paid for it, seeing that I was a little distressed. We ended up talking and.." Tanner raised his arm that wasn't being held,up in the air and gestured to himself. "here I am."

[NikkoGallarado]

Ace nodded some, it was something he knew his father did, kindness all the time. "I'm glad he did, cause this great to see someone else. Demetri and I never knew why we couldn't find other teens around but it cool, cause your here now." Demetri nodded some as they walked through the house headed into the kitchen. "Where thinking of making lunch what would you like?" Demetri asked.

I am the manry-est of men!

[TannerSaunders]

"I'm glad. He told me that you would both be excited to see another teen. It would be nice to have some friends finally.." Tanner rubbed the back of his head, "N-Not that I don't have other friends." He smiled sheepishly and then frowned, deciding to change the subject. Looking to Demetri he said, "What are you guys eating? I'll take anything really. I'm not picky."

[NikkoGallarado]

"Okay well thinking of making some pizza, and taco's cause well we where training so we plan on making bunch. Would you mind asking dad if he wants anything other then what we said." Demetri asked him. As Ace let go nodding some to get some of the stuff ready. "He should be down the hall in library." as the both went to get started on the food.

I am the manry-est of men!

[TannerSaunders]

"Pizza sounds good. Taco's too." His stomach was hurting and he hadn't really had anything other than the hot chocolate. "Down the hall..to the library.." Following directions, he made his way down the hall and soon found the library. "Nikko, Ace and Demetri would like to know if you'd like to eat Pizza and Taco's with us or something different?" He asked from the doorway.

[NikkoGallarado]

The man looked over some, blinking. "Is that they are making? If sounds fine..." as he looked away walked across the room. "Sorry they both hardly do much here, but back home they are getting into all sorts of trouble, I wish I could give them more missions but they are limited to the skill level they both are at. But they past the time by bring home friends or dates now and then." as he placed a book back on self. "Care to come in? Or will you be helping them?"

I am the manry-est of men!

[TannerSaunders]

"I would like to.." He looked around the library at the many books, wanting desperately to run his hands over their spines. He'd never admit it but he was a bit weird when it came to books,especially old ones. "Don't they need to know that you're okay with what they are making though?" He laughed a little, nodding his head back toward the kitchen. "Also..mission's?" They were teen's, why would they be doing missions?
