Tristian and Lycus play pretend.

Tristian had received orders to go and be usefull to the guild. He had kept his "time magic problem" a secret for now and he wandered towards his destination. He heard the birds sing their song while the sun was high up in the sky as he arrived near the edge of clover town.
"Well.. I guess I am a bit early so I might aswell just lay here for a few minutes." He mumbled as he casually sat down and looked up at the sky. He heard the wind blow over the grass and he started to wonder about why his magic was beginning to be unstable. After a while he realised that time was going faster then he expected and he jumped up and quickly ran to the agreed location to start the mission.
Once he arrived there he saw a young man with black long hair standing there seemingly a bit annoyed. Trisian quickly ran towards him in his 12 year old self and he gently introduced himself. "Tristian Knimrew at your service sir." Tristian had been teached how to be a propper companion even tho most guildmembers did really value that trait he sure did.
"I am sorry I am late. I lost track of time while staring at the clouds. Where are our dates?" He asked with a curious grin on his face. He never really had a girlfriend before so this was a good opportunity to learn a thing or two. He looked at the guy in front of him waiting for an answer as he heard the voice of two girls behind him.

Tristian noticed that the guy he had been paired up with for this job kinda looked down on him and he didn't like it at all. "You know.. I wont be 12 years old on the date. Don't worry about me being a bother either I'll be nice." He said while he put his hands on the back of his head.The black haired guy had a certain vibe that Tristian couldnt explain. The man introduced himself rather kindly and Tristian learned that his partner was named Lycus. "Lycus is a nice name man. Oh by the way about the flowers. You mean these?" Tristian pulled 3 bouquets out of the bag he had with him and smiled gently.The bouquets had a variaty of nice colours in them and the smell that came of them was sweet and rather pleasant. Tristian handed the prettiest one to Lycus and he grinned by the what he only could imagine must have been surprise on his face.

"I heard that when you're going on a date you need to have a gift. I also bought chocolates but I guess we don't need those then now do we?" Tristian was amused by the fact that he was so well prepared. A bit to amused to notice that his magic started to flow around freely. It wasn't at a dangerous level but it sure was there.Invisible to anyone but Tristian. Tristian looked at Lycus and was wonder what he wanted to do next since they had the flowers now. "How about we go meet our dates hmm? I would love to meet them." Tristian said cheerfully. "Oh and.. you better not screw around or I'll know where t find you. Got it memorized?" He added with a dark and sinister look on his face.He turned around and went ahead of Lycus towards the place their clients would be waiting.

Tristian quietly followed Lycus sulking a bit because of the arrogant behavior of the guy. "Punctuality.. puh I am that I brought the flowers mister.." He mumbled as he stuck out his tong behind Lycus.
He then realised he still had his younger form and quietly whispered "Time Force." and flames surrounded his body and a bit later he walked out in his black robe. "Well that's not right for a date.. Let's switch that up."He said to himself.
Another set of flames surrounded him and he was wearing somewhat cassual clothing this time. "Much better." He said as he looked at the hoody and trousers he was wearing now and went on with following Lycus without a word.

After a few minutes he saw Lycus getting all lovey dovey with one of the girls and was about to throw up from how charming the guy was trying to be. The girl he had now close to him seemed to enjoy it tho so he must have done something right.
Tristian walked up to the other client and made a slight bow before saying "Tristian Knimrew is the name. What might yours be oh beautiful lady?~". The girl looked at him with cold eyes and simply replied with "Hope. Something you most likely shouldn't have punk.".
Tristian quickly looked up at Lycus who seemed to enjoy himself with what must have been Serenity and he tried to restore his mood from the rather painful reply of his girl. He reached in his bag and took his own flowers out of it together with the chocolates he got earlier.
"Would you atleast accept these gifts to make it look like I'm your boyfriend?" He asked with a kind smile as he looked Hope straight in the eyes. "F-fi-fine I guess I can do that much.." she replied with a slight blush on her cheeks. "Thank you..".

Tristian went to Lycus and quickly asked where they had to go and if he could lead the way. He then returned to Hope and kindly offered her his hand. "May I take you to the place we are going to eat my lady?" He asked with a smile. The girl instantly grabbed his hand and pulled him close. "I said you shouldn't get hope.. but.. maybe I was wrong.." and she kissed Tristian straight onto his lips.
Tristian was completely shocked by the actions of the girl and without realising what happened his face went red as a tomato and he nearly fainted. he heard Serenity yell something at her sister but he couldn't make out what it was as every single bit of his body was confused. He pushed her away and started to pant. "May.. maybe we should save the kissing for when we meet your parents." He spoke fast and looked at Lycus.
He wasn't sure but from what he could tell the man didn't like what had just happened and he motioned that it wasn't what he thought it was. He grabbed Hope's hand and pulled her towards him and whispered quietly. "Let's just do this job okee? I don't wanna cause any trouble for my partner you see.". The girl blushed as she got pulled near him and simply nodded and they quietly followed Lycus and Serenity to meet the girls their parents.

Tristian had never felt as bad as the moment Lycus tried to have both of the clients for himself. He knew that his partner saw him as a little child. Most people didn't realise that once Tristian took on his adult form everything changed about him. He walked up to Lycus and simply grabbed the edge of his kimono and pulled him close to him, not giving a shit about their clients. "You and I are gonna be grown up and finish this job WITHOUT getting in each others way. Thank you for the advice about how to kiss tho that was nice of you." He said while staring straight into Lycus his eyes.Tristian could help but notice the flames he saw once their eyes locked. What was that? He never had seen flames inside somebody their eyes. He decided not to let it bother him as he noticed the two girls being shocked by his action. "I'm sorry about that but we can't afford to let the mission fail once your parents are with us now can we ladies?" he said with a gentle smile as he took the lead towards the restaurant they needed to go to.

Once he arrived with Hope at his side he turned to her and asked "So.. which of these people are your parents dear?" but before she could answer he heard a heavy voice behind him "Ah look at that isn't that a lovely sight love? Our Hope found quite the good looking guy." Tristian turned around and he was face to face with a man with dark hair and a fancy mustache. The man was wearing a grey business suit with a red tie. "You must be Hope's dad I assume?" Tristian said with a gesture of respect towards the man. "You got that correct son. I hope she isn't to much trouble to have as a girlfriend." The man said with a little grin on his face. "Oh not at all sir. I couldn't have wished for a sweeter girl then your daughter." Tristian said in response as he looked over his shoulder and saw that Lycus and Serenity were coming their way aswell. "I take it that the lady next to you is your wife sir?" Tristian asked polite. The man looked at the lady and nodded happily. "Yes she sure is. How about we go and enjoy the sunlight at our table? I believe I see Serenity coming our way aswell." Tristian grinned as he noticed the man didn't mentioned Lycus in the slightest even tho the two walked almost as one entity. "Oh yes that is an excelent idea sir but first.." He quickly pulled the set of flowers and chocolates out of his bag and handed them to the mother of their clients. "These are for you my lady. I hope you will enjoy them later on." He said as he turned to Hope and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek. "Shall we go then?" he said as he saw Lycus had arrived aswell.

Tristian was sitting next to Hope while they were having something to drink with her parents. Lycus and Serenity were sitting with them but Lycus was acting all gentleman like and Tristian could have sworn he felt a wave of dislike coming from the guy. He didn't feel comfortable with how Lycus was acting and his magic followed his example and waves of time slowing magic left his body. after a few minutes of talking with Hope's parents he noticed that he could feel a certain control on the magic. Tristian had enough of this acting guy and in a matter of seconds he froze time completely. Tristian his body tingled as time froze and still wasn't used to it completely. he stood up and walked over to Lycus. He kicked the guy against his leg with all force he could pull together, his muscles pulled so tightly together that when he did hit said leg his whole body shook from the impact. He turned around again and went back to Hope. He was sad he had to do this but there was no other choice he decided. Tristian kissed Hope's lips gently while everything was still frozen and he quickly shoved his Ilac number in her bra with "Call me, Tristian" above it. Tristian turned to the parents and placed the money for his drink and food in the dad his hand. "Goodbye. It was nice to meet you all,"he said as he ran off with tears in his eyes and broke his magic once he had enough distance inbetween them. Never would he go on a job that concerned dating. This horror had been the worst job ever.
