There were somethings Milo had kept from his habibi. The true nature of the Dragon court, keeping him far away from the politics involved, were one of them. His actual status, and thus Aequitas' actual status were kept just as quiet. But most of all, he kept quiet the one thing he knew would drive his love out into dangerous situations again. The existence of a magical mafia was not something he ever wanted the other to know of. It really wasn't. His love was passionate and mighty, and powerful, and would go diving head long into danger without thinking twice if it meant killing mafiosos.
One one hand Milo couldn't blame him. On the other, he wanted his love safe. Unfortunately, he had a feeling the cat was now out of the bad, based on the article sitting on the kitchen table. Oh yeah, the cat was out of the bag, and Milo had a feeling he was about to be in the dog house.

Now, Aequitas could understand that his marido wished to keep him safe. He could understand that there were some things out of his control, and even out of his power. When he saw the article, however, he could not understand why Milo would have lied to him. Everything is fine, he'd said. Aequitas had believed him.
Now, he had never been an angry man, but when Milo walked in shortly after he had read the article, his voiced dropped low. "You have been keeping things from me, mi amore."

Oh yeah. Definitely the dog house. The worse part of it. He managed an innocent smile. "It was in the name of love, habibi?" He came closer a little worried and sighed. He had been keeping things from his love. "They're not like the human mafia, hayati. Forgive me, my rohi, my habibi?" He was sensing a no. It was not going to go smoothly and he knew it. Aequitas favorite thing to do was kill the mafia. This was going to be bad.

He stayed where he sat at the kitchen table, one arm tapping it's fingers against the paper. "You have some explaining to do, Marido. It has been some years since you could use my fledgling status so."
He finally looked up at the man, his emerald gaze dark. "You know this is what I do!" As he spoke, his hand balled into a fist. "When we wed, we swore no secrets between us. When it was the vampire eater, did I not try to stay safe for you? When I was weaker to the sun, did I not stay where it could not touch me? Mios dios! Why?"

There was the dog house, then there was what he was in now. This was bad. "Habibi, ya nour el ein." Beloved, the light of my eye. Somehow he had the feeling that pretty words and his usual romance was not going to work on his husband. "What you do, it scares me. And they are. They are strong, habibi. They are not like the others." The mundanes. Still, it hurt. They had sworn no secrets. "I merely didn't mention it love. I didn't want you hurt." He hadn't lied about it, not really. Just gotten very good at dodging the question.

"A lie of omission, then." He continued to stare, unblinking, at his husband. "You will tell me why, Milo. And what this has to do with the Draconia."

Milo squirmed. Dammit. The other had him dead to rights. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I...my family, they aren't good people." He said, uncertain. "I'm not a good person. You've seen how I can be." He took joy in the suffering of his enemies. He gleefully tortured them. "But they are who they are. Father and Mother are -were- the leaders of the Dragon court." This was bad enough. "That makes you and I , well, the term is Zara. The sons of the ra." And it was a heavy position. "That has no bearing on why I didn't tell you. My family is thugs, but they are not mafiosos. Just a vampire court."
That was bad enough. "Habibi, please. I just. The magical mafia is strong, and powerful, and with our position...even without our position. You know I...you know I would have you sheltered safe if I could."

As Milo spoke of the Court,Aequitas nodded along. He knew that the rules had changed, when he had been turned. The code of ethics was different. As the topic turned back to Milo wrapping him in cotton, though, Aequitas softened.
His form, once hard, softened. "Come here, mi querido corazón." He opened his arms.

Milo was in the other's arms in a second and held him close. "Habibi, forgive me?" He really hoped the other would. He hated being on the wrong end of his love's temper. But it seemed like the other was softening at least. Maybe he was not in so much trouble as he had first assumed.

Aequitas held his husband close. He let the man relax slightly, because anger made him cruel at times. He gently rest his forehead against Milo's. What was said in a whisper was almost cutting in tone.
"How can I trust you when you keep such secrets?"

Milo relaxed a little bit, until the other spoke. But the whisper cut him to the core and his shoulders slumped in dismay. "Aequitas, please. I know I screwed up." He knew he had and badly. "How can I re-earn your trust?" He needed to.

The young vampire held up three fingers. "Uno: you will tell me everything you know about this bastardo." He dropped a finger. "Dos: you will keep no more secrets about who we are supposed to be." Another finger. "Tres... You will let me follow my path. I have never once forced you from yours. ¿Entendido?"

Well, there was hope. "Entendido." He agreed mostly glad he was given another chance. He'd tell the other everything he knew, and help him in his...in his quest if it meant that his adored one would be in danger. He would jsut have to be there, right by Aequitas' side in case of any troubles. "I will get you the most complete dossier of them I can." He promised his love. "Even if I must pull strings." Though he'd be happy if his husband did not go to the court with him. The outfits were, well, different.

Aequitas nodded, before finally pressing a kiss to the man's forehead. "Good. Now I am done scolding you. I will not monta un burro muerto. How you say, ride the burro to death. Tell me. How was your day with the Draconia?"

All was well. Milo cuddled with his love happily and kissed him gently. "It was work. I would rather spend time with you." He teased. then he kissed him again. "Besides. We are home now, together, and there is little else to do. We may go feast together. Or we can feast together." They could hunt, or they could enjoy each other's flesh. Milo was fairly certain that he could convince his love that the second option would be better.
