Chapter Ten: Tig and Tag

“What are you going to tell Christine?” It was a loaded question that sparked a current of electricity through the once calm atmosphere they had been content to stay in for the past half hour. The words had slipped easily from between Elijah’s slippery lips after swallowing a mouthful of steaming Thai noodles. His eyes shifted from the box he held as he glanced to the side in time to see wooden chopsticks clutching steaming beef pause midway to Sean’s lips. Dipping his own sticks back into the now empty white folded box, Elijah picked up his long necked bottle of imported beer from the dashboard and took a long pull, waiting silently for Sean’s reply.

“Just that the auditions ran long, but we finally found a Corbin.” Sean spoke carefully, unsure whether Elijah wanted his answer to be the truth or a fabrication to keep them both out of the way of Chris’ fury. Finally placing the meat into his mouth, Sean watched Elijah nod before finishing off his beer and tossing it into the backseat of his car. “This stuff’s pretty good.” He commented quietly to Elijah, trying to change the topic. Another mouthful of beef and spicy sauces slid down Sean’s throat as Elijah watched him while opening a new bottle of alcohol. “Don’t know why I’ve never tried it before.”

Leaning across the separating barrier created by the leather armrest between the driver’s seat and the passenger’s, Elijah’s tongue slipped out and lapped up a dribble of spicy sauce that had managed to escape from Sean’s lips. “Maybe ‘cause…,” Elijah whispered against Sean’s skin before placing a kiss to the corner of his lips. His hand found its way up to Sean’s face and his thumb wiped the spot where he had kissed him. “You’re a silly old man,” a playfully accusing finger was tapped upon the tip of Sean’s nose as Elijah shifted in his seat to be closer. “Who desperately needed a young sprite like me to show you the interesting things in life that you’ve been missing out on all these years.” Though Elijah had intended the statement to be a teasing jest, his words held a certain poignancy that rang true as Sean turned his head and smiled, placing a short kiss to Elijah’s lips.

“How true, my little sprite-ling.” Sean retorted as he placed his half eaten box of beef on the dash board and took the newly opened bottle of beer from Elijah’s pale fingers. “And since you are such a young sprite I don’t think you should be drinking this,” Sean tipped the bottle to one side, bringing Elijah’s attention to it before taking a swig from the long glass neck. “Unless that is you wish to recant your little comment about, what was it?” Sean cocked his head to the side as if in deep thought before mocking sudden realization. “Oh yeah, silly old men,” Sean challenged with a certain air that suggested self-conscious fears threading through his thoughts as Elijah cocked an eyebrow.

“….Never!” Elijah cried, looking around the car and finally spotting the wooden chopsticks sticking out from his finished noodle’s box. Gripping one in his hand he pulled it before him. Sean’s eyebrows shot up to his hairline as Elijah challenged him with the eating utensil. “Well…?” He asked motioning with his chopstick to Sean’s own pair. Taking the hint Sean took one in his hand and matched it up against Elijah’s.

“Remind me again how old are you?” Sean questioned with a lopsided grin.
