Luke made a pleased sound in the back of his throat when Casey pulled him in for a second kiss. After taking a few minutes to enjoy it though, he had to pull back. They were in public and he had to hold on to at least some self control for now. There would be time for more.
“I love animals. It seems we have that in common. I am never opposed to animals. I’ve thought at times of getting a dog, but he would have to be tough and fit to travel”
It was true, his family had a dog when he was younger before the move and he had loved him. Luke couldn’t help but smile at the thoughts crossing his mind, the two of them being on the road together and owning a dog sounded awfully domestic and he hoped that eventually they would have the chance for that. They had briefly mentioned sticking together so he wanted to make sure that was even still an option before jumping to conclusion so he decided to bring it up subtly.
“We should research tonight, see if there’s a location with activity. I don’t know about you, but it would be nice to get somewhere a bit more exciting. Perhaps check out the city next?’

Casey liked rash decisions. It kept him on his toes. "Let's get a dog." He rather liked the idea, and if it was strong enough it could provide extra back-up in hunts. Maybe not for the violent parts of the job but for checking out areas Casey and Luke couldn't fit in. "I love dogs too," His family had owned a tiny little Cavalier King Charlies named Ben for many years but Casey wasn't even sure if Ben was still alive anymore.
He grabbed ahold of Luke's hand, smiling widely. "Sounds like a plan. I'll follow your lead." Casey's grin turned coy again. "You'll be stuck with me for awhile now, Luke. No backing out of this." He teased, but at the same time was completely serious. Now that he knew Luke could just do things to him and give him such reactions, that he was such a great guy and that he was a good kisser...he was intent on following him.

Luke just stared back at Casey for a second trying to decide if he was serious or not. When Casey didn't blink Luke's face broke out into a huge smile. Sure this was going fast, sure owning a pet was a big responsibility but they were going to able to do this. Luke tightened his grip on Casey's hand where his own hand seem to have taken up residence. He was already running through different kinds of dogs, coming up with ideas on which would be the best in regards to hunting and traveling. It would have to be a big dog. They could talk more about this later, for now they could get a general direction going.
"What do you think? Do you want to head East or West? There's always something going on, we'll have a lot of options to run through"
Luke could feel his excitement growing. he was a fairly calm person for the most part, but he was passionate about the things that he did and he loved to hunt. He loved doing the jobs and it was going to be even more enjoyable with Casey going a long with him. This was going to be a lot of fun. They could crash here again for the evening, but they would get an early start in the morning and head off to the next location.

Casey didn't even know what to decide. There were many places and many opportunities. "I'll go wherever you want to. I have no preference. It's all the same to me." He let out a warm, happy smile and practically flushed with joy as Luke squeezed his hand again. Something about even just that simple touch made him feel loved and accepted. Hell! They had barely known each other a day and it felt like they had been around each other for a lifetime. It was bizzare in a cheering way.
"As long as I get to travel with you, I'll be happy," He admitted, the blush that only Luke seemed to be able to pull out of him starting to reappear. Casey wasn't concerned with weakness anymore, however, just trying to figure out a way to keep this good feeling in his chest forever. It was like he was back in the past, back to that fork in the road before his mother died and he felt ecstatic.

Saying that Luke was excited would be an understatement. He hadn't traveled with anyone since he was working along side his father and he was very excited at the prospect of having a companion. It was more then that though, he really liked Casey and as a hunter it was not often that the opportunity to stop and get to know someone presented itself. Now he was going to be able to get to know someone he really liked, without having to stop doing the job that he loved so much. He could tell that Casey loved the job just as much. They were so different, yet so alike that they were going to be perfect partners in all sense of the word.
"What do you say that tonight we stay here, get a few hours of relaxation and then we hit the road and just see where we end up?"
He was starting to notice how tired he actually was. His back was a little sore from the showdown and there was a dull ache that was the beginning of a headache and he knew he could really use the rest. Luke was strong and quick in battle, but he was only human and a firm mattress to sleep on sounded like heaven at the moment.

Casey nodded, liking the sound of the idea. After a hunt like that he needed some relaxation somewhere. Maybe more food first because he did like eating and it helped keep up his energy but also some sleep. He no longer felt any pain in his chest anymore but the wound needed some time to relax and the muscles in his legs and arms were still strained. With a quick flash of a frown he also remembered his wrists were sore, they felt much better in Luke's tender grasp however so maybe they were healing by magic. Haha. If only!
"Can we cuddle?" He suddenly asked, mischeviously. It wasn't just meant to be teasing- Casey was completely and utterly serious. Even with girls he didn't get to cuddle that much but he felt the urge to feel Luke's warm body against his own. Nothing serious past that just yet but perhaps they could enjoy eachother's presence and sleep together. It was fast, sure, but that's the way Casey rolled. He never did anything that wasn't rash, wild and passionate. It was just in his nature and part of his instincts like breathing and survival.

Luke grinned at Casey across from him across the table, stroking his fingers over his knuckles without really realizing it. In all honesty he was getting pretty tired, and the thought of being snuggled up nice and cozy with Casey sounded like absolute heaven and he was more then happy to oblige that request.
"How about this? We order our next round of food to go and we tuck ourselves into a nice motel and enjoy a night of sleep?"
After a brief pause the corners of his lips lifted up into a smirk, and because he was still Luke and still a little bit shy, he ducked his head to try and hide it.
"I must warn you, I am like an octopus in my sleep, you'll wake up tangled in a various amount of limbs if you decide you actually want to sleep in the same bed with me."
It was true, he had always been openly affectionate, even since he was a child, he enjoyed displaying is affection to someone when he became close enough to do so, and once he got over his almost crippling shyness he was able to be more expressive and more affectionate in the situations that he saw fit. Sharing a bed seemed to be one of those situation's where he'd be able to let his more affectionate side shine through.

Casey’s smile brightened, “That sounds like a perfect plan to me.” Warm and comfortable in a hotel room, snuggled up together. It was like one of those corny romance movies but somehow even with the sweetness of the moment he knew it would also be a wild and crazy ride. He couldn’t wait to see how Luke was in charge in bed…though that would come much later. What else would Luke take charge in? That sparked his curiosity quite a bit and lit his insides on fire.
Another shy moment and Casey had to bit his lower lip to keep from chuckling. It was adorable and also a bit funny. Who knew someone so shy could be so interested in taking the lead in intimate matters? He couldn’t resist getting his last little saucy flirt in. “The more intimate the better.” Casey winked. He knew it was cheesy and a bit silly considering he would probably fall apart into another mess of stuttering and blushing like some virgin once he saw Luke shirtless….if Luke fell asleep shirtless.
After a moment of daydreaming about it Casey brushed the though aside and focused on Luke again. The very real and alive Luke in front of him. "So, up for any dessert?"

"I am always up for desert"
Luke laughed, he wasn't even trying to be seductive with that, he had a sweet tooth that he indulged in far more then he should. He was already comfortable with Casey, which should be scary because Luke did not often open himself up to people, but instead it felt right. As cheesy as that sounded, even in his own head, this felt right and he didn't want to let it go. Opportunities like this did not often present themselves to Luke and he was not planning on letting this one slip out of his grasp.
"I say tonight is spent cuddled up, cozy and snug in the bed, watching whatever ridiculous movie might be playing on the television, and get in just a few hours relaxing together before we leave."
This sounded like a wonderful plan and he hoped that Casey went for it. The prospect of having a nice and warm body snuggled up to him while he was able to zone out to whatever movie they would be watching was exactly what he needed. He could tell that Casey was also in need of some good relaxation.
"Is the wound doing alright?"
He was concerned, Casey was a trooper, but Luke knew that it had to be bothering him at least a little bit. It was not comfortable to have a large gash in the side and Luke did not want Casey to be in any sort of pain.

Casey's lips turned up in a coy little smile, "I'm very good for dessert. But I don't think that's what you meant." He giggled. Of course, as long as Luke didn't talk about sex or get all sexy and in control again Casey had no qualms flirting and being bold. Until those moments when Luke was all in charge he could hold his own and not flounder around blushing like some girl.
"Cuddling is what I live for. Shirts on or off?" He asked with an innocent look on his face, biting his lower lip. Casey was being flirty yet again since he couldn't help himself but he honestly did want to know. The good news was that they weren't there and Casey wasn't stuttering and staring like a fool just yet.
The wound. He frowned. Trust this wonderfully hot guy to bring that up and ruin the mood. Casey shrugged, "'s fine." Truthfully it still hurt like a bitch but Luke didn't need to know that. It would heal eventually anyhow.

Luke grinned at Casey, he loved how flirty he was. It made him feel much more comfortable and he hoped his own words were not causing the other boy any discomfort. That is the last thing he wanted to do. There was no need for either of them to be uncomfortable, especially now when they were enjoying their time together like this.
"Shirts off, I am more of a skin on skin type of guy"
He blushed slightly and turned his head to the side, he was being so forward tonight and that was not something he was used to. He really wanted Casey around and he wanted to be honest with him about what he was thinking. He had never been this honest with someone and it felt really good. Luke believed that he could really trust Casey.
"Why don't we head back to the hotel now? I feel as if we have been out forever and I could really used a nice shower and some rest"
Luke reached into his pocket and pulled enough money out to cover both of their food before dropping it onto the table. He was very pleased with how the night was going and hoped that it would continue to go thsi well.

Casey had expected some shy comment about having shirts on but it wasn’t as if the attention was unappreciated. His cheeks flushed as well and he cleared his throat. After a moment of silence, Casey regained some of his confidence back and smiled. “I…yeah. That sounds nice.” And something he had never done with another man before. It felt exhilarating and a bit nerve-wracking all at once. His emotions just kept picking different sides and he wasn’t able to ever remain with just one considering all the new experiences. “You always surprise me.”
“Yeah, so what you getting for dessert?” Casey decided he’d order a brownie, calling the waitress over. He smiled sweetly at Luke, reaching out for his hand again and finding himself overjoyed with the company. Long nights alone could really do a number on a person and their social skills but somehow he managed to keep up enough of his flirty ways to be able to get so far with another hunter. Maybe this could become something permanent and he wouldn’t have to worry about being alone ever again.

Before leaving the diner Luke was sure to pull Casey up to the front where there was an assortment of deserts that were on display under the counter. There was pie, cookies, cake and even some ice cream that was in a freezer next to the counter. Having the sweet tooth that he did Luke was unsure of what sweet desert he actually wanted. He frowned and bit his lip turning to Casey.
"I am going to be honest, I could probably eat everything at this counter, what are you feeling? I will be happy with any choice that you make. I know that you have already ordered, but I demand that you share something with me back at the hotel"
Luke was entirely serious about the matter. He did not joke about deserts and he really wanted to enjoy these little things that he loved with Casey. Plus he wanted Casey to feel comfortable. He could tell that he was nervous. He had said he had never been with a man before so it was understandable that he was scared and Luke wanted to make it less so for him. He would try to hold his tongue if it would help, but he was comfortable with him and that wasn't something he often felt with many people. It was very pleasing to feel this way and he hoped that Casey would be able tor reach the same level of comfort that he was.
"how about we also stop by the video store on the walk to the hotel and then we can watch a move tonight? We can just relax"

Casey raised an eyebrow before grinning and nodding. He could understand that. His little brother had a sweet tooth that couldn’t be stopped and would eat anything in sight that had even just a bit of sugar in it. But fortunately for this situation, Casey was picky when it came to what he wanted and when he wanted it. “Only if we can make out afterwards.” It was just a joke but he practically flushed remembering how forward Luke could get when it came to physical affection. Casey wanted to kick himself because he felt like he was coming off timid and not wanting the attention but he really was starting to get addicted to the way Luke liked to take charge. He went quiet after that and pretended to be very interested in picking the right dessert despite already picking it out. His appetite demanded chocolate pie. “That one!”Casey pointed at the chocolate cake in the corner that was decorated with vanilla frosting and some Oreos on top. You could never go wrong with a little extra sugar.
They had parted a bit since Luke dragged them there, but Casey discreetly grabbed Luke’s hand again. He glared instantly at the man who was gaping at them to the side, unhappy that he was so surprised. Hadn’t he seen a couple before? But even despite that annoyance Casey was enjoying the way their hands seemed to fit together perfectly and how Luke’s was very warm and was keeping the chill of the AC away from his own hand.
“What kind of movie do you want to watch?” Casey liked action and adventure stuff the best but comedy also could really excite him. He wasn’t a fan of chick flicks…despite his tendency to blush and act like some teenage girl in puppy love with Luke. Sci-Fi and Fantasy were eh. But Casey would honestly watch whatever Luke desired. It was enough that they were going to be relaxed on a bed together…with their skin touching…oh…Casey felt his knees go a little weak.

Luke ordered their desert and put just a fraction more amount of space between them. Luke was not new to this, sure he was shy and he had to get used to someone's presence before getting completely comfortable, but when it came to having a relationship with another male he was well versed on how it sent. He did not want to push or pressure Casey into anything that make him even the least bit uncomfortable. Luke was glad that he had made that decision though because moments later Casey laced their fingers together and relaxed a bit. He made a decision right than that he was going to to let Casey take the lead tonight. He seemed more comfortable when the torch was passed to him and Luke was more than okay with having things that way. Despite the fact that he liked taking control he had no problem giving it up as well.
"Well, I am always up for a good horror movie. I also like comedy as well though. Which would you prefer?"
Growing up Luke had always been a fan of horror movies. It didn't matter if it was a stupid, cheesy one that wasn't actually scary, he had enjoyed it and it was something special that he had shared with his father. His mother had always just shook her head at them, never disapproving of what they were doing but often times not understanding the appeal. Luke couldn't help but grin at the memory. He really missed his family, he decided he was going to give his mother a call soon and let her know what had been going on. She would be absolutely delighted to hear about his blossoming relationship with Casey. Plus it was always nice to call in and check up on the family and talk to his little sister. He found himself getting lost in his thoughts and he snapped out of it, squeezing Casey's hand affectionately.
