Jason blinked at Zeph's last question, completely at a loss for how to respond. His ears grew even hotter, and he frowned mentally. He seemed to recall Seth mentioning that Zeph was shy--clearly this was not true. Zeph was outgoing, positively charming, and he had the looks to complement it.

Zephyros' grin faded a little as Jason just looked lost. What, was he giving the wrong signals? Obviously he was reading Jason wrong somehow. Or... no... Seth hadn't... had he? Seth was way too old for him, he couldn't be warning off potentials out of jealousy or something, was he? It... well, if that were the case, a certain werewolf was going to be getting the telling-off of his life.
After a shower. Definitely after the shower. Hmm... maybe that would help loosen Jason's tongue. Unless Jason was uncomfortable with that. Some guys, even those that prefered other guys, had problems seeing men shower. Zeph didn't get it, but then at home there were times he wandered around the island in the buff. Private islands were great for that.

Jason saw Zeph's grin fade slightly, and wondered what the boy was thinking. Obviously Seth had lied... he wondered if Zeph knew what Seth had said. He got the impression that Seth was being protective of Zeph for whatever reason... maybe they were in a relationship? If there was one thing Jason couldn't stand, it was cheating. He didn't want to make Zeph cheat, if that's what the case was. His ears burned more brightly, and he looked away. Maybe this had been a bad idea...

Zeph looked at him, deciding to be blunt "So what did Seth tell you and did he try to think we're together? Because if he did I'm going to wring his neck and then dump him in Ellie's lap to try to put back the pieces."

Jason bit his lip slightly and replied, "He said, I quote: 'He's a little out of your league, you know. And gun-shy. Just warning you.' It didn't sound like you were together when he said it, but..." He trailed off with a small shrug.

"I'm going to kill him," Zephyros said flatly, all humor gone from his eyes. "I knew he was warning people off. Who does he think he is, my older brother? I would expect that from Euros or Boreas, but not someone I'm not related or really connected to. I'm going to fucking kill that stupid-!"
Anger strangled him, luckily cutting off the rest of his sentence. His hands tightened into fists, then he closed his eyes and took a very deep, slow breath. "Sorry. Now you see what happened last month to the roof. If you notice, the wind has picked up outside."

Jason nodded, hearing that Zeph was right. "I'd hate to get caught in the middle of a fight between you and your brothers... you'd cause a freaking tornado," he laughed.

"I don't need my brothers' help to create a tornado. I've done it all on my own... though luckily it was somewhere and at a time when tornados were not remarkable. Notos had to knock me out before I took out a city," Zephyros took a deep breath again as the wind outside eased off. He really hoped he hadn't taken off another tile or two. Maybe the storm would be blamed and not his passionate nature.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to lose my temper," he said softly, wanting to keep Jason from getting chased off. He really didn't want Seth to affect his relationships. If this failed... it should be from him. Though that outburst was NOT intelligent. "I'm the most passionate of the four of us. When I do something, it's with every part of my being..."

Jason nodded slowly. "My sisters are like that, especially Helen. I think it can be a blessing as well as a curse, sometimes."

"Well, for me... as an example... it means I don't cheat. Ever. Never have, and I never will. I love someone with my entire being," he said, raking his hair back. "Look, I really need that shower. Clear my head before I go do something I regret. Attacking Seth is less than intelligent, and at the moment, it's all I really want to do."

Jason nodded. "Okay. Go on ahead. Think you can walk on your own, or do you need help still?" he asked, trying not to sound like he assumed Zeph still needed him.

"I think I can walk on my own, but it might be a good idea if you stayed by," he said, trying to hide the mischievous light in his eye. He wanted Jason to come along, yes, but not for the reason Jason might think. He ran a hand through his hair and wrinkled his nose. Now it was starting to dry, and his hair was getting really gross. Call him vain, but he hated being covered in salt when a shower was only a few steps away. He started heading for the locker room and the showers, but felt an ankle give out on him just as he started to fall again. He stiffened in shock, his eyes wide and a cry of surprise escaping his lips.

Jason hurried to help again, making sure Zeph was steady on his own two feet, but not stepping away immediately. "Maybe I should join you... I don't want you to fall and hurt yourself in the shower or anything." He wasn't used to the idea of showering with another man, but he'd put up with it as best he could for Zeph's safety's sake.

Zephyros nodded, swallowing a little. That had been unexpected. Yes, he wanted Jason there, but he hadn't thought he'd hurt his ankle or anything. His heart was still pounding, but it didn't feel as if his ankle was going to betray him again. "I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting that... It just... happened."
He walked much more cautiously to the locker room, watching his feet with one hand out in front of him to catch him if he did fall. All amorous thoughts had been driven out of his head with the chance that he might fall again. And he really didn't want to bring Jason to the ground with him. Broken heels were hard to walk in. "You don't need to shower with me, though. Just be nearby in case I manage to slip or something. If I fall again, I'm going right to Ellie."
If I'm conscious, he added to himself, with a slight shiver.

Jason nodded, walking close beside Zeph toward the locker room. "Of course. I'll be right here if anything else happens."

Zephyros nodded, flashing him a grateful smile before returning his gaze to his next step. "That means a lot, actually. Thank you, my friend. Somehow I'm a bit less concerned than I was."
He almost stumbled on the door frame, mumbling a sharp curse. He didn't fall, or even come close to it, but it was irritating. He always caught the tip of his toe on that stupid frame. Before Jason could even look more concerned, Zeph grinned at him. "I always catch my toe on that. Every single time I head back to change into normal clothing."

Jason smiled, making sure to be extra careful himself when crossing the threshold--if Zeph always stumbled over it as he was, Jason's heels would probably land him with a broken neck if he tripped. He crossed to the showers, deciding it was better to wait outside while Zeph cleaned himself up in privacy. He'd still be close by if Zeph needed help.

Zephyros pulled his shirt off, waiting until he was in the shower to pull off his shorts. Jason seemed to be nervous with the idea of seeing him nude, so he would honor that. For now. Besides, he wasn't as interested at the moment as he had been. He just wanted to get clean. Once he had managed to get all the soap off, he facepalmed.
"Jason... I forgot to grab a towel. Would you mind tossing one over to me?" he asked, flushing. Sure, there went his decision to honor Jason's body-shyness.

"Oh... sure," Jason answered, glancing around the room. He spotted a clean towel and went to grab it, then returned to the curtain between himself and Zeph. There was very little space between the curtain rod and the ceiling, and he knew his arm wasn't long enough to reach all the way over to Zeph; the showerhead was at the back of the long, narrow shower stall. Shrugging, he called out to Zeph through the curtain.
"I'm coming in... um... don't worry, I'll have my eyes shut... I won't see you."

"Jason... I walk around my home in the buff all the time, I really, honestly, could care less if you see anything," he told him. What was Jason's problem? Why would Jason think Zeph would have a problem with him seeing him.

Jason edged cautiously into the shower stall, eyes firmly shut, holding the towel out. Zeph didn't seem to have a problem with Jason seeing him naked, but Jason was quite shy about the idea. So he inched forward on the slippery floor, waiting for Zeph to come and take the towel from him.

Zephyros was tempted to make him open his eyes, but decided yet again to respect his desire for privacy. He took the towel and quickly dried off, then wrapped it around his waist, tucking it together securely.
"I'm covered, Jason. You can open your eyes so you don't slip." He was getting hurt enough for the both of them, and he really didn't want Jason getting hurt too.

Jason gratefully opened his eyes. "Are you going to be okay now? Sure you're not going to fall anymore?" He was slightly more worried about Zeph slipping on the wet floor in here than the dry floor outside, but now that Zeph had cooled down and hopefully loosened up a little, it probably wouldn't be that much of a problem anymore.

"I think I'll be alright. I haven't slipped even when the floor was covered in soap, I think I'll be alright now. I didn't hurt you when I was falling did I?" he asked with concern. "You moved pretty fast to catch me a few times... you didn't twist an ankle or anything right?"

"I'm okay, thanks," Jason smiled, taking a step or two back and aside so Zephyros could pass him. "As long as you're sure you're okay, I think I'll go... I have homework to finish before bed."
