“ there's nothing left to say now.”

When Cyrus showed up, the guy finally released Corbin and Corbin was able to pull away. He moved a bit closer to Cyrus, fidgety and nervous.

Cyrus took Corbin's hand in his. “ come in this store again and I promise you, you won't see the light of day again. That's a warning.” he made sure his blue wings were visible. Common sense is that everyone knew a blue jay was a soldier.

The guy scoffed a bit and turned to leave. Corbin was holding his breath, only exhaling when the guy was gone. He buried his face in Cyrus' chest, clinging to him.

“ are you okay?” he asked softly, looking to corbin

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine, just… that guy is such a creep…" He replied quietly. "Kept touching me and stuff."

“ I know.. I thought something was up when you didn't come back” he said a little worried. He walked back up to the desk with corbin and sat.

Corbin nodded and sat back in his chair, fidgeting nervously with his hands and staring down at the desk. "… Hopefully he doesn't come back."

“ he won't, he can get arrested for it. Especially if I catch him in here,” he said. Cyrus put his hand in Corbin's to keep him from fidgeting too much.

"Yeah, I guess so…" Corbin held tightly to Cyrus' hand, switching from fidgeting to tapping his foot on the ground. "I dunno how he figured out where I work…"

“ it's quite easy love, you come to the same place every day and it's within a five-mile radius of the apartment. “ he said and pulled corbin into a small cuddle hug.

"Mmmmnhh…" Corbin buried his face in Cyrus' shoulder and clung to him. "But why would he know where I live? Is he watching me? Do you think he's still watching us right now?"

“ no, after most people find a blue jay soldier they stay away. “ he said and cuddled corbin to calm him down some.

"I guess that makes sense…" Corbin relaxed a bit when Cyrus held him close, closing his eyes with a soft sigh. "I'm probably just overreacting."

“ no, it's perfectly okay to have this kind of response. It's good actually, it will keep you safe,” he said smartly

"Mmnnh… I guess so…" Corbin huddled closer and looked around the shop to make sure no one was there. "At least I won't be here too long."

“ yea,” he said and watched as the woman who covered For corbin came in

Corbin nodded politely to her and went to clock out. He soon returned so he could leave with Cyrus.

Cyrus got ready to leave as well, this time buying a book.

Corbin took Cyrus' hand and walked out of the store with him. "What did you get?" He asked.

“ a book about the stars and how it affects magic. “ he said softy, pulling corbin close to him and keeping an eye put for the man.

"That's cool." Corbin held onto Cyrus' hand and followed him down the sidewalk. "Mm… can we get coffee?" He asked, looking up at Cyrus.

“ sure,” he said with a warm smile. He walked to the nearest coffee shop, walking in there was a burst of the smell of cinnamon.

Corbin grinned up at Cyrus and followed him into the coffee shop, still holding his hand as he looked up at the menu. "Uhm… I'll have a cinnamon Mocha with whipped cream, please."

“ just black coffee,” Cyrus said kindly to the lady, he went to go sit in a booth with corbin.

Corbin swung his legs a bit while he waited for his coffee, humming softly to himself. When the coffee was ready, he went up to grab both of their drinks and brought them back to the booth.

Cyrus thanked corbin, absent-mindedly drinking his coffee as if it wasn't hot. He watched out the window.

Corbin watched Cyrus curiously as he sipped at his own coffee. "You alright, Cy?" He asked. "You're kinda spacy."

Cyrus looked over “ huh? Oh ya I'm fine love.” he said softly.

"You sure?" Corbin adjusted his two-handed grip on his cup. "What's on your mind?"

“ it's nothing cori I'm fine I promise. “ he said, the avains blue eyes met the others.
