Creepy McCreeperson

Hex was around sixteen years old now. She'd celebrated that by leaving the manor, like she was prone to do, and gone exploring in the snowy mountains of Sinnoh. It was plenty far from home and she loved it.

Not that she didn't miss home. But she was a wanderer. She wanted to see the world. And all the snow had been rather fun to play in. A tad too cold though.

Lucky for her, she'd found someone to keep her warm. Blake was a sexy local who'd spent their whole life in the snowy areas of Sinnoh. As a majestoat, the cold didn't bother them. Hex had been flirting with Blake on and off for a few weeks now. They'd kissed for the first time a week ago. It had escalated from there but until tonight, Hex had never brought Blake back to her apartment.

Tonight was the night. Hex had everything and nothing planned at the same time. It was pretty much whatever happened, happened. They'd had a hearty dinner in a very warm restaurant which had given them plenty of energy for wherever the night took them.

Hex was actually excited. The kissing had started outside and just escalated once they reached the elevator. It took her two full minutes to even open the door because she was too distracted to get the key in fully and then actually turn the knob and go inside.

They were all giggles as they darted into the room and quickly resumed making out. Hex flung the keys onto the dresser by the door and didn't even bother to turn on the lights yet.

Wolf was waiting though, of course he was. He was sat quite calmly just inside the door. He cleared his throat softly. Just enough to get their attention. "Lights, please."

Hex and Blake both jumped at the same time at the sound of a sudden male voice. Hex found the light switch and flicked it up immediately. "What the fuck?!" she hissed at the sight of Wolf sitting on a chair by the door.

"Uh..." Blake just looked at the guy, unsure of what was going on.

"What are you doing here?" Hex asked, embarrassed and angry.

"You know why I'm here. No boys until you're 35. At least. 40 if you keep pushing." Wolf said and stood up. He wasn't having any of this. "As cute as you are, kid, get lost. She's just barely legal."

"This *kid* has a name. It's Blake," Hex said, her hand on her hip. "I am plenty old enough, thanks. And Blake isn't a dark fiend. No compulsions. Sorry."

"What's going on?" Blake asked, not leaving, but not sure that she should stay either.

"It's just my dad being a creeper," Hex said. "Let's go."

"Young lady!" Wolf said and moved between them both. "I'm not being a creeper I'm being a dad." inside he was totally squealing at her calling him that. But he had to remain calm. "I'm not forcing your friend to leave with my master abilities. I'm politely asking them to leave before I break their legs."

"Uh...."

Hex was pissed. "Blake is a girl! And I can date her if I want to! You don't get to just tell me who I can be attracted to or not, or who I can see or not." She stepped away from Wolf. "This is so uncool of you."

"You're a girl? Oh. Well. Oops? But still no sex. You didn't even discuss this with me first. I had to find out from Jiro. That's not fair. I don't care if you're straight, bi, pansexual, asexual. I won't ever be nasty about it. I just don't want you sneaking around or wasting your virginity on random people!" Wolf said, his voice raising just a little bit at the end. He couldn't help it.

"No offence, but I don't know you. Or anything about you other than you look like a boy. You're very cute and I'm sure you're lovely. But no sex with my kid. Dear god please. I'm trying to teach her to not be a slut. You're not helping." He added to Blake then.

"Should I go?" Blake asked. "I don't want to cause issues after our talk."

"No, stay," Hex said, her hand right back on her hip as she looked at Wolf. "What was I to discuss with you? I've had 'the talk' with Pande. I learned way more than I ever needed to. I'm good. So...what is it you're expecting here?"

"No, please leave." Wolf said to Blake, because hex was stubborn. "I didn't want to give you the sex talk! That's not even what I was saying. You never listen, you get this idea in your head about how I'm the big bad, when really I'm just trying to protect you and take care of you."

"You could try to trust me!" Hex said. "I'm not going to just turn into a slut out of nowhere, thank you. I like myself a little better than that, okay? Don't be mean to Blake."

"It's fine," Blake said. "I'm going to go. When you're done being grounded or whatever parents do in this situation, call me." She winked and then left.

"Great," Hex said. At least Blake seemed to want to see her again. For now.

Wolf was tempted to break her damn legs, she looked like a boy. He could pretend. But also, if she wanted to be all big and get in his face about this stuff and wink at his kid, then she was asking for it. "I don't like her. She's rude." He said then and stomped away from hex in a mood. "And so are you. You were totally going to do stuff. And then what? Leave and come back? After just two weeks of knowing someone. Yeah, because that isn't at all easy of you. Come on. I'm not being an asshole. I'm trying to teach you better than this. You're amazing, did you know that? You're so precious and I'm so glad I have you in my life. But you're worth more than this. You are. So why are you doing it? Are you crying out for attention, is that it? What am I doing wrong?"

"She's rude?" Hex asked, both arms crossed over her chest defensively, which was better than her appearing aggressive. "You didn't even give her a chance! You didn't give me a chance! Yes, I was open to fooling around with her. And yes, I've only known her for a month, but I wasn't planning on leaving her behind like it was no big thing. I really like her, okay? I have never, ever in my life made friends easily and with her it was just natural. She's an orphan. She lost her parents when she was six. She's my age, relatively, and we live with the Snow Princess. I was going to see about her coming back with me. But now you've probably scared her off the idea after I tried to hard to talk up how awesome it is to be adopted!" She was so mad she couldn't even speak anymore.

"What did you expect? That I'd just allow you to do this? You can't just fool around with a girl. It's basically sex!" Wolf faceplamed, because that's how sex worked with girls. "I don't give a shit about her past, I give a shit about how she was just then. Look, I agreed to let you wander and do your own thing, but I never, ever thought you'd do this. You clearly can't be trusted on your own, so we need to rethink it."

"Seriously?" Hex asked. "That's so unfair." She was so angry she was starting to cry. She marched into the kitchen and got herself a glass of water. The kitchen was really this small little space that was open to the living area so it wasn't like she'd marched off into another room. She wanted to but he wouldn't let her. "I am not going home before talking to her," she said stubbornly.

"I didn't say we were going home, did I?" Wolf pointed out he hated that he was making her cry. He put his head in his hands for a moment to just think. "I'm not trying to be unfair, Hex. I'm really not. I am just trying to be a good dad, if I let you do whatever you want, you'd later think I just didn't care. And I care so much."

"Yeah, I get that," Hex said, still being defensive. "Okay, Dad?" She stuffed her hands into the front pockets of her jacket. "Go ahead and put down your new rules then."

"I think if you're traveling, you need to either have an adult with you. You can't be alone where you stay with someone you're thinking of dating and you can't go to theirs if theirs no adults present either." Wolf started, because it was so hard on him. He was glad she was listening though. "Come here." He said and sat on the sofa.

Hex didn't want to. But she went anyway. She sat down on the couch with him. "She lives under a bridge like a troll. It's totally hot." She was just going to be like that. "What adult are you talking about because I know it's not you." Alex couldn't exactly leave the manor.

"Myself, or Bedlam. Maybe even Strife sometimes." Wolf said and put his arm around her and tugged her close. He wanted the hugs. He needed them. "I trust them. With you. You know? I don't trust many with you. Because you're special, little bean." He tucked her head under his chin and rested there for a minute. He was ignoring the shit about Blake. He'd set that bridge on fire.

Hex sighed. It was a good thing she had no idea what he was thinking about her friend. "Yeah, so you say," she said because she wasn't going to just give in to all the affectionate things he said. But she wouldn't rebel so hard for it. "You can't do it. Alex can't travel. And you don't trust Pande?" Because he'd not been mentioned.

"No, because he's very sexual. He likely doesn't mind if you have sex." Wolf said, but he would talk to Pande. "I'm here now, Alex doesn't need me always. Just mostly. He has things to do too."

Hex sighed. Neither Strife nor Bedlam were going to let her sneak off to be alone with anyone either. "I can't win, can I?" She didn't really fight unless she was sure that there was a chance she could win. With Wolf, there usually wasn't.

"No, not really. I'd like for you to be seriously dating someone before you go there." Wolf said honestly, he didn't really mean it when he said 35. He wished he could enforce that, but he just couldn't. "So, what did you mean before about telling Blake about being adopted? Are you thinking of bringing her back to the manor?"

"Well yeah," Hex said. "She's awesome. And she lives under a bridge. By herself. It's sad. She's too cool for that. Are you going to tell me it's an awful idea? Because you don't even know her."
