Cage really doesn't want to attend his demon roommate's New Year's party. He's been dumped, and he knows his friend is trying to set him up, which is strictly against his New Year's resolutions. Then he meets Barney, and decides maybe his roommate is on to something, trying to get him to hook up with a new, young, and very hot werewolf in town. Will Cage decide to rewrite his resolutions?

"Honestly, darling, can't you make the sign hang evenly? I thought you were a manly man, with carpentry in your genes or something."

God save him from prissy interior decorating demons. Cage rolled his eyes, moving the 'N' up on the 'Happy New Year' sign.

"I thought demons didn't really celebrate holidays, too, but you sure went all out for Christmas and shit," he told Amel, moving the 'Y' down a little. "Better?"

"Much. Thank you, sweetie." Amel went by the ladder, heavily clawed hand patting Cage's ass. "Wait until you see what I can do for New Year's."

"Uh, I thought I was now." Stretching up, Cain adjusted the last little bit of rainbow-colored tinsel. He'd just taken down about fifty pounds of green and red shit, and he was covered in glitter.

"Oh, no. This is just the window dressing. The real fun will be tonight. All of the conscientious objectors to Christmas will come to my New Year's bash."

"Oh, yay. It will look like an extra party from Hellboy." Cage wondered at his sanity, sometimes, rooming with Amel. The man was an extra-dimensional demon of some sort; Cage was never sure what kind. The guy was a flaming queen, given to flights of fancy, heavy drama, and fluttering hands.

Kind of drove Cage crazy.

Of course, the guy was also loaded, and since he had horns and a tail and no access to glamours, he was lonely, too. Which meant the rent was priced way lower than it should have been for a mother-in-law suite with access to the kitchen and hot tub.

Cage figured the aforementioned kitchen and hot tub being off limits during the full moon when he was all hairy was only fair enough. Still, he did have it on his list of New Year's resolutions to find a new place to live. A wolf needed something a little more… rustic.

"Very funny." Amel gave him an arch look. "You're just upset because you don't have anyone to ring the New Year in with."

"Thanks for reminding me." The old saying that wolves mated for life was bullshit. Or at least it was as long as that wolf was half human, too. Edward had taken great pleasure in leaving him for a young, hot vampire.

Hell, that was why he was rooming with Amel, anyway. Edward had owned half the house, and Cage hadn't been able to buy him out of it.

"Oh, hon, you know I'm not trying to be ugly. I just know you'd be out doing your big dog seduction routine if you had someone."
