Ashburn
_________

Ash's feelings through the affair were anything but rational. Whereas most people would be scared of a massive 15 foot demon shouting and screaming in a haunting voice Ash felt nothing but sympathy. Ash knew, through their connection and personally, that he was safer in that room than anywhere else on the planet. That Eric would never hurt him, no matter how angry he was.

Ashburn stood up and wrapped his arms around the seated giant, his wings enveloping Eric in a warm feathered hug. The pain he felt from Eric brought tears to his eyes, and he knew Eric's concerns.

"Eric, moins amour. Moins chère. Moins amour éternel. Please calm down I hate to see you suffer so." Ash said, sending waves of calm and love across their mental link

"We can't flee my love. You are entering the hardest phase of your transformation and may need help, and there is no where for us to go. The police are hunting for me and your family will probably find us anyways. We are beings of eternity moins amour, and so is he. Even if we fled he has literally until the end of Earth to find us. Why not try and at least find truce now?" Ash hugged the massive figure as tight as he could hoping it would provide some comfort

"I know you are worried about me Eric. That he will use or manipulate me. But you need to have trust in me. Need I remind you my head is thick enough to double as a cannon ball? My loyalty to you is beyond question and your father has no power over me. Luckily he doesn't even know about me I'd imagine. Much less that I am your lover for eternity. I doubt Erica would have even mentioned me to him. When he shows up I can simply pretend to be an overglorified roommate, and keep an eye on things through our connection."

The plan was actually pretty simple as Ash explained it. Ash would stay in his room when Eric's dad came to visit so he stayed out of the line of fire. Eric would try and convince his dad to leave him alone forever and Ash could run in if things went south.

"What do you think moins chère?" Ash asked hopefully before his growling stomach interjected
