Chapter XVIII

Things Never Really Change

The drive into the city had been quiet nearly the entire way. All Jeremiah had been able to say was Hamilton and Demiesius were having a disagreement, but he knew his brothers were smart enough to know something bigger was going on. Their parents weren’t the type of couple to argue about anything, and hearing Hamilton blatantly yell at Demiesius had come as a shock.

From the words exchanged, and Hamilton’s frantic assurance, Jeremiah could assume the worst was currently on his father’s mind. He could admit something was changing in him, changing the way his feelings came forth, his urges, anger, and he knew Demiesius was focused on the trouble his anger could cause if unchecked.

Jeremiah hadn’t meant to get so angry with Luca at Nocturnal Heights. The vampire’s words had maimed his self-esteem, but Jeremiah had also never been too attached to the way people viewed him; people whose opinion he didn’t value. But, still, things had gotten out of hand and the next thing he knew, furniture was flying and glass was shattered.

The thought of working up an apology for Luca sat with Jeremiah, but it was probably best to leave things as they were.

There were no plans to sink back into the ways of carnal distraction offered by willful participants. If things went well on this beaten path it seemed he was heading down, there would be no need to search for warmth where it never seemed to be.

“Jeremiah?” Min-jae nudged the thought-ridden, distant dhampir, and when Jeremiah jolted back into focus, Min-jae gestured to Sebastian standing before him with his arms crossed.

“Sorry,” Jeremiah cleared his mind with a puff of air. “What?”

“We can’t go anywhere if you keep standing around,” Sebastian stated.

They’d been waiting for a crosswalk to signal and missed it due to Jeremiah being taken up by other things. Were these things more important than going to the bookshop they’d been frequenting for some years now? No, nothing was more important than people that matter most, even if their requests could be labeled as rather trivial and mundane.

Jeremiah rubbed an awkward hand at the back of his neck, smiling as if he was embarrassed for being caught daydreaming.

He let his eyes pan over his younger brothers. The last thing he wanted was for them to worry about anything, things pertaining to threats of death, harm, and loss; the three things he was sure Demiesius and Hamilton were harping on about back home.

Those worries were paramount by all means. The return of Public affairs and their means to be a nuisance could lead to ruin. That accursed flower and its diversion from cultural customs. Then there was the trouble that now remained with Jeremiah every waking moment: this newly active nervous system.

As much as those things weren’t trivial in the slightest, Jeremiah batted them from his head and draped an arm over Sebastian’s shoulder. “I’m surprised you didn’t punch me,” he said, trying to jest the moment away, and they waited for the next signal light to show.
