A Supernatural Hunt

"Not yet, I was going to wait for a bit." Todd answered.

"Oh... He does? I didn't mean too if you don't like it...."

Alex nodded shyly, "Yeah... 'm fine..."

"Why don't you have some of this with me?"

"You don't have to do that." Marco told him. "I just- " He paused after that, not sure how to explain.

"Oh, um...okay." Artemis mumbled.

"Oh, alright thank you." Todd said softly.

"Are you dating the boss man?" Peter asked,

"Are you okay?" Alex asked shyly.

"Even if I'm hungry I don't think I could finish all that." Casey chuckled.

Marco stayed quiet for a moment, trying to decide how to answer. "I...wouldn't really call it dating."

Artemis nodded. "Yeah."

Todd chuckled, "I guess that is a lot."

Peter blinked before nodding knowingly. "Oh"

"Good..." Alex said softly before looking up at him.

"Little bit." Casey smiled.

"What do you mean, 'oh'?" Marco frowned.

Artemis hesitated before stepping a little closer. "Are you alright out here?"

Todd smiled and took a bit of toast.

"Well most of us figured you and the boss were at least in a relationship or something... You are his favorite..."

"Yeah... I guess..." Alex said softly.

Casey sat there for a moment before picking at the other piece.

"You did?" Marco asked, raising an eyebrow. "I really have no idea what you'd call it...it's confusing."

Artemis frowned slightly. "I didn't upset you did I?"

Todd nibbled on his piece as they sat there.

"I'm sorry..." Peter said softly.

"Wha... No not upset... You... Make me feels things I haven't felt in a long time..." Alex admitted softly.

Casey sat staring off at nothing as he slowly ate some of the food.

"For what?" Marco asked, looking confused.

"I- ...what do you mean?" Artemis asked shyly.

Todd watched him silently.

"For bring it up..." Peter answered.

"I... I thought after Casey was killed that I'd never be able to... L-Love someone again... And there you are... Making me feel it again.;.."

"What is it?" Casey asked after a moment, looking back at him.

"No, it's fine." Marco said.

Artemis blushed and put a hand to his mouth. "O-Oh... Really?"

"Oh nothing.." Todd said softly.

Peter nodded, "If your sure."

Alex was blushing hard as he nodded.

"Okay..." Casey nodded.

"Yeah." Marco sighed.

Artemis shifted slightly, playing with his hair nervously, not sure what to say.

Todd gave him a small smile.

Peter gently touched his shoulder.

Alex bit his lip softly, wanting to shift so he'd not have to listen to his rejection.

Casey smiled shyly before eating some more of the food.

Marco glanced up at him, relaxing a little.

"I- um..." Artemis started before going quiet, hesitating before suddenly stepping closer and hugging him.

Todd smiled softly at him.

Peter gave a soft smile at his friend.

Alex hugged back, closing his eyes as he leaned in.

Casey ate quietly, finishing the rest of the food despite having said he wasn't that hungry earlier.

"Any idea where Joseph went by the way?" Marco asked to change the subject. "I haven't seen him for a while."

Artemis made a nervous sound, shifting slightly as he stood there.

Todd smiled, glad to see that Casey had ate his food.

"You know I don't know... I've not seen him..."

Alex quickly let go the moment he heard the nervous sound.

"Thank you." Casey said when he was finished.

"Right, sorry." Marco muttered. "You've been with me almost the whole time."

Artemis lowered his head, blushing. "Sorry..." He mumbled.

"Your welcome." Todd smiled before taking the plate for him.

"He must be seeing that Were of his..."

Leo snuck out to get back to Joseph.

"I-Its okay..." Alex said softly.

Casey leaned back against the wall, stretching his arms out.

"Probably." Marco said, rolling his eyes.

Joseph was pacing nervously back at Leo's place, worried about how long he'd been gone.

"I've never actually had anything like this before..." Artemis said quietly.

Todd washed the dishes up.

"Why does he care about that thing..?" Peter asked.

Leo ran back in and hurried over to him.

"You haven't?" Alex asked softly.

Casey accidentally ended up falling asleep, still sitting up.

"No idea."

"Leo!" Joseph said when he saw him, quickly pulling him into a hug.

Artemis shook his head.

Todd peaked into his room when he had finished.

Peter shrugged.

Leo hugged back tightly, "Sorry, I got caught up there."

Alex slowly stepped forward.
