Finn adjusted himself, hiding the clear evidence that they were just being intimate with eachother. The air was now filled with a fog of awkwardness and tension. Jinx was quick to notice both of their faces, and not only how it looked like they were just making out, but all of the cuts and bruises, "What the fuck happened?!" Jinx said, raising her voice slightly before rushing to Finn, completely ignoring what Aleria had to say. "Nothing, we just got into a little arguement." Finn replied, softly pushing her hands back and flinching away as she tried to touch his face. "A little!?" She replied with a concerned look on her face. "We made up... I promise." Finn said with a weird tone as a smile threatened to form on his face. He forced himself to keep his composure. They definitely can tell. Finn tossed a quick worried glance at Raihn, fearing what this might do to their relationship. He knew both of the girls probely didnt care, but he didnt know how Raihn would feel about it. Swallowing thickly, Finn looked back towards Aleria, a small smile forming on his face.

Aleria would be lying if she said she wasn't concerned. The dark bruising that colored both Finn and Raihns skin, the cut lips, and swollen brows told her that some fight had occurred between the two of them, but then that seemed at complete odds with how they were acting. She listened to Finn's response to Jinx's concern as she made her way over. "Made up?" She questioned, catching the smile that almost seemed to be forcing its way to Finn's lips. "I'll say." She said folding her arms over her chest. There was absolutely no way that Finn and Raihn hadn't just been kissing. In fact, she was more sure of it now than she had been moments ago. ` Raihn wasn't sure how he felt about the two girls knowing about his relationship with Finn. It was still so new, and whatever they felt for one another was just beginning to sprout its wings, that he found himself fearing the judgment that might come from Jinx and Aleria. They may not care, or they may think the fact that their friend was intimately engaged with a stranger who may or may not cause them harm was foolish and idiotic. Not that he could blame them. He'd shown up here unannounced, injured, and in need of their help. He had been cold, closed off, and not the slightest bit friendly towards any of them... until he'd wound up drinking himself into a state where self-control was a concept long forgotten and not a practice he'd been forcing upon himself. Catching Finn's glance he moved to bit at the corner of his lip before sucking in a breath as the act resulted in a painful sting to erupt upon the torn flesh. Fuck, he'd forgotten about that. Actually, he'd forgotten about every bruise, cut, and scratch he'd been given until right that moment. When Finn spoke, assuring Jinx that they had made up, and then when Aleria gave her response he nearly flinched. Though he wasn't sure how he felt about them knowing, if they found out or suspected it, he wasn't going to go out of his way to deny it or try to hide it.

Finn returned his gaze to Jinx's. "Yeah we're good." he replied, his tone more stable and normal sounding now. Be cool, they wont say anything... hopefully. Finn gave her a cheeky smile before pulling her into a hug. "Cmere, I missed you." He said quietly, burying in his face into her hair. A smile was quick to form on Jinx's lips and she hugged him back. "So enlighten us on what yall did today." Finn said, pulling away from the hug. He was acting a lot calmer now, but he was still a little worried on how Raihn felt, of course he couldnt ask though. He threw another glance at him, almost smiling but he forced himself to look away. Why did they have to come back and ruin the moment... ughhh. Finn almost audibly groaned, what him and Raihn were doing was cute way too short for Finn's liking. Now that Jinx and Aleria were back, how were they going to makeout again. Clenching his jaw, he returned his gaze to Jinx, barely hearing a word she said. "Uh huh, sounds fun." Finn said quietly, his mind other places. "Are you even listening to me?" Jinx said in a slightly offended tone as she smacked Finn's head. "Ow, what the fuck was that for?! Do you not see all the cuts and bruises, fuck." Finn said, holding where Jinx hit.

Raihn remained where he had been seated while kissing Finn and where he had been when Jinx and Aleria had returned. A part of him was half tempted to try and make an escape, to give some excuse as to why he needed to leave, to step outside and get some air. But with his injured leg, and considering that would make them all the more suspicious, he found himself remaining still. Instead, his gaze rested on Finn and Jinx, watching their interaction and listening. When Finn gave a quiet and simple answer to Jinx, one she clearly wasn't impressed with he found himself having to bite back a laugh. Especially when she smacked Finn's head. He shifted slightly, his uncertainty and unease beginning to fade and in it's place amusement settled as he watched Finn and Jinx.

Jinx simply just laughed at him, "Thats what you get for not listening. But its okay, your mind is clearly somewhere else." Jinx replied. She then made no further attempt to talk to Finn, instead she turned to Aleria. "Im ... sorry." Finn said, giving up at the end since Jinx had already turned away. Nervously, he bit at his bottom lip now that he didnt have Jinx's or Aleria's eyes on him. He then decided to risk it and look over at Raihn. He studied his body and face to try and see what he was thinking and feeling. His brows slightly furrowed as a worried expression became apparent on his face. Next thing Finn knew, Jinx and Aleria were both standing again and walking away. "We'll be back, were going to the river. You guys should join us." Jinx said, looking over her shoulder. "Maybe, Im a little tired." Finn replied, trying to sound convincing. "Thats okay." Jinx said, turning her gaze infront of her as they walked out of the warehouse. Finn was quick to look towards Raihn, waiting for him to say something.

It amazed Raihn then, just as it had when he'd first seen it, how close Finn was to the two girls, especially to Jinx. It was clear their relationship was one that had lasted a while and something that had gotten them both through a great deal. He kept quiet as he studied their interaction and then let his gaze follow Jinx as she moved over to Aleria. She was saying something but he couldn't make out what exactly it was. Not that it mattered, he wasn't the slightest bit interested in whatever gossip or decision the two girls were making. No, his interest lay elsewhere, and as if of their own accord, his eyes returned to Finn. It felt as though he'd found himself watching the man for ages and yet only a mere few seconds when his attention was pulled to the two girls moving to leave the warehouse. At Jinx's explanation, Raihn raised a brow before shaking his head. "Thanks, but I'll pass." He said, not that the invitation was really directed towards him. And then they were gone, leaving him and Finn alone once more. For a long moment, Raihn looked at the door from which they had departed before he turned his gaze to Finn. A brow rose and a smirk tugged at his lips upon finding that he was already looking his way. "A little tired, huh?" He questioned, his tone playful and amused.

A flushed look appeared on Finn's face, and a slight chuckle came out of his mouth. "Yeah someone really tired me out." Finn replied playfully, but there was a hint of embarrassment as the memories flooded his mind. Finn didn't know what else to say, so he continued to study and examine the male's body and face. Now that they were alone again, Finn could relax, but he didn't fully. He couldn't relax fully until he knew what was going on. "So..." Finn began, dragging the o. His gaze fell to his lap, feeling a bit of tension rising between them. He wanted to know what Raihn had to say first, so he decided not to speak again until Raihn said something. (This is trash, I apologize.)

(Oh stop. It is not trash!) Raihn's smirk grew a little at the chuckle Finn gave in response to his words. "I tired you out?" He questioned in amusement a hint of laughter in his own voice. Honestly, he had half a mind that it was the other way around. Not, that he was particularly tired. Letting the silence fall between them, Raihn watched as Finn studied him and he took this time to return the gesture. Letting his own gaze soak up every part of Finn's face, body, and expression as he did so. "So... how long do you think Jinx and Aleria are going to be at the river for?" He questioned, a hint of understanding in both his voice and his gaze as he continued to look at Finn. Honestly, he was fighting the urge to all but reach out and pull him over so that they could continue where they'd been forced to leave off by Aleria and Jinx's untimely arrival.

With Raihn's response, it only made Finn more nervous, his cheeks reddening even more. He didn't answer, he just bit back a smile. His gaze returned to Raihn's eyes when he heard him begin to talk again. Finn could tell that he still wanted to continue where they left off. In all honesty, Finn wanted to as well, but he was a bit tired from the events of the day. "I'm not sure, but they definitely can tell something's up, so probably not for a while." Finn replied, shifting his body slightly. Swallowing thickly, he began to make his way over to Raihn slowly. He needed to be closer, to feel him and his warmth. "As much as I'd like to continue where we left off, I am a bit tired." Finn said softly, his voice just above a whisper. He leaned in until he could feel Raihn's breath on his lips. Softly, he kissed Raihn slowly and pulled away even slower. He looked up at Raihn with heavy eyes. He wanted to hug him, but he couldn't bring himself to, so he backed up slightly and just sat beside him.

Raihn caught sight of the blush that colored Finn's cheeks and raised a brow in slight surprise. Finn was already eye-catching, someone who, as far as Raihn was concerned, would turn heads if he wanted to, but seeing him blush. Fuck, now that was something else. He didn't say anything about it though, instead allowing himself to take in the sight of it in all its glory, and then he listened as Finn answered his question. Not for a while. He liked the sound of that. With his eyes still on the male, Raihn watched as he shifted and then slowly began to make his way over. Briefly, his eyes dropped to Finn's lips as he listened to him speak before he quickly forced them up. He was about to respond when he found himself being kissed, far more languid and slowly than the kiss they had shared only moments ago. He didn't pull away, but instead leaned ever so slightly into the kiss and returned it. Only once Finn pulled back did he give a slight nod. "Then you should rest." He said, offering him a small smile.
