Hello! I'mmmmmm Darkkite23! Otherwise known as Rika! You can just call me =^..^=! (Don't ask how you pronounce it, just call me it.) I'm hoping that you came here because you wanted some slashy, lemon filled JasperxEdward goodness! If not, GO AWAY! Nah… But seriously, if you don't like it, don't read this. But you could go read some of my other stuff! *nods head furiously*
Anyway, for those coming from "The Sound of Crashing Waves", this will be a little happier. All vampire, slashy goodness! BOW CHIKA BOW WOW. Rated M for lemons and some language. Maybe some gore, but not much if any.
*Sigh* If you recognize anything, it's Stephanie Meyer's. Cuz, if I wrote Twilight, there'd be so much sex that every fan girls' heads would spin. Don't you wish I wrote it? XD
Well, I've typed your virtual ears off enough, so I'll go now. Okay, right now. Riiiiiiiight nooooooooow… No, NOW.
Btdubs, this will alternate between Edward and Jasper, because I'm just THAT badass. This one is Edward's POV. Okay, I'll let Edward take over. *runs off stage and pushes Edward on* Now, GO!
If I was going to be completely honest, I've always been a loner. From what little human memories I had, I knew that I was a loner then too. I had my family, and they were all I needed. For the most part. Sure, I got lonely, but I just… adapted and got over it. And by getting over it, I mean I threw myself into my studies and music. That's why, next to Carlisle, I know the most sciences, the most languages and the most amount of useless information in the family. That's also why I've composed more symphonies than Bach and Mozart combined. It would be more than Bach, Mozart and Debussy, but, hey, I still need to hunt!
When Bella came into my life, I hoped that my loneliness would finally come to an end. There she was, another loner. Though, she threw herself into literature, specifically fiction. I knew I should've been happy, but there was always the nagging feeling that I would still feel empty, even with Bella.
Hey, Edward.
I was pulled out of my musings by a silky voice with a slight southern twang. Jasper. He pushed himself off the opposite wall and started to sinuously stride to the sofa I was currently perched on.
Is it okay if I hang by you?
I nodded inconspicuously, though not knowing why he was asking me this telepathically. I don't think the rest of the family would be offended. He stood next to me, and it dawned on me that this was the closest he's ever been to me. I mean, Jasper and I get along, but I've always felt that he kept his distance from me. I never knew why. He didn't think about it.
Why don't we go hunting? Get away from here.
Hmm… Jasper/Edward bonding time. Alright. I stood up and followed him out the door. Everyone was wrapped up in their own agenda and didn't notice we left. Typical. Jasper looked back at me with a grin when we were at the edge of the forest behind the house.
"I'll race ya!"
He bolted, catching me off guard. I stood back and smiled smugly while counting to ten. Then, I took off. After all, I AM the fastest runner in the family.
Scaredy-cat! Betcha can't catch me!
I launched myself forward, following his scent. Jasper smelled very rugged, kind of like leather and hay. He also had a sweet, yet somewhat spicy edge, very similar to cinnamon. He smelled very good, but we all smelled good. Part of the vampire charm. I caught up to him quickly and waved as I ran past him. He groaned loudly.
"Dammit Edward! Give someone else the chance to win something for once!"
I laughed and ran ahead of him, yelling back at him.
"Sorry! Not today, Jazz!"
I burst through the woods and into a big clearing. I basked in in my victory for a half second before Jasper tackled me to the ground.
"You may have won the race, but I'll win the battle!"
He rolled me to my back and had me pinned beneath him. His lips were curled into a growl, but there was laughter in his eyes. Just then, the clouds rolled away, leaving the brilliant sun exposed. Jasper's face was illuminated and I was covered in scintillating light. His whole face sparkled and I realized that I had never really looked at him before. The sun was blocked again, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from Jasper's face. His skin was incredibly pale (obviously) but there was still a hint of the Texas sun. His eyes, which were in constant motion, were wide and surrounded by long and dark lashes. If I stared long enough, I could see past the gold to uncover the ocean blue they once were. The only things that caught my attention more that his eyes were his full, red lips. They had relaxed from the growl and were now just partially opened. His cinnamony breath fanned across my face and my head began to spin.
Wait… Vampires don't get dizzy. What was going on?
"Um, Jasper?"
His eyes widened and he twitched. Before I knew it, he was standing above me. I sat up, trying to shake off the weird feeling I felt throughout my body. Jasper stood awkwardly with one hand in his long and curly blonde hair and the other on his right hip. He was biting his bottom lip and looking off to the side.
What the fuck just happened?
"I have no idea…" I replied.
He jumped slightly and looked down at me. If he still had blood, I'm positive it would've flooded his cheeks. He held a hand out for me so I could stand up. I took it, because I still felt weird. He yanked me up and suddenly, we were really close to each other. His hand was still clasped around mine, and we had mirroring shocked expressions as we stared into the other's eyes. There was an almost audible buzzing sound coming from between us.
Jasper inhaled slightly, and we stepped apart. One of my hands went to my hair as the other pinched the bridge of my nose. I heard a light slapping sound, signaling that Jasper facepalmed. I peaked up at him and saw him doing the same. We smiled sheepishly. I cleared my throat.
"So, uh, why did you want to come out here? Not that I have a problem, it's just unexpected."
He exhaled and leaned his head back with his eyes closed.
"I had to get away from everyone, ya know? Rosalie was all pissy, Emmett was way too horny, Carlisle was anxious and Esme was worried, probably about Rosalie and Carlisle."
"And Alice?"
He leaned his head forward again and opened his eyes. His lips were twisted in a snarl.
"Alice is just fucking annoying." There was definitely a hostile edge in his usually calm, sultry voice.
"Oh… So why'd you want me to come out with you? Again, not that I mind. You just seem like you want to get away from people."
He smiled and looked in the eyes.
Pretty.
"You're different, Edward. You were just… thoughtful. And kind of lonely. I figured hanging out with me would be better than nothing, right?"
I smiled and nodded. We just stood there for a bit, enjoying each other's company.
"Plus," he started, breaking the comfortable silence. "Plus, you're eyes are kinda dark. I also figured a bite to eat wouldn't hurt."
"Yeah… Especially if I have to be around Bella."
His eyes narrowed.
Her.
I gazed back at him, confused. He looked almost angry. Then, it passed and he was calm again.
"When you were feeling lonely before… Um, well, were you thinking about Bella?"
I eyed him suspiciously.
"Maybe. Why?"
He shrugged and shook his head.
"No reason. Just wondering…"
Guess he's not as happy with her as I thought… Good to know.
I cocked my head at him. He pretended to ignored me and looked out into the large space before us. We heard the growl of lions a few miles away and Jasper turned to be with a wide smile playing on his lips.
"You up for mountain lion?"
I rolled my eyes.
"When am I not up for lion?"
He laughed and took off running.
Last one there is a rotten egg!
I laughed. He's so goofy. I took off after him, and he ended up being the rotten egg. It turns out, the growls we heard was because of a fight between three males over a female. Jasper and I attacked and drained two of the males before the other two lions noticed. After if finished my first lion, I climbed a tree so I could let one of the lions run away so I could chase it down. Apparently, Jasper must've been pretty thirsty, because he latched onto the female as soon as he finished his first lion. I couldn't help but marvel at just how sexy it was when he drank. With each pull, his body moved, like he was dancing. His eyelids fluttered, and his fingers tangled in the animal's fur. There was also a hint of a smile as he drank. He reminded me of a child drinking chocolate milk. The sweet flavor ran over every taste bud and caused small explosions in his mouth. His words, not mine. When he finished the female, he surprised me by whispering, "Thank you for the meal. I hope you died peacefully and have all the males fighting for you in lion heaven." into her ear and placing a light kiss on the to of her head. Then, very carefully, he dug a grave and placed her in, muttering a prayer. I was so touched by his compassion that I leaped from my place in the tree to stand in front of him, staring at him in awe.
"Gah! I forgot you were here! Did you get the other male?"
"Do you always do that when you hunt?"
Jasper puffed out a sigh and ran his fingers through his buttery gold hair before answering me.
"Emmett always makes fun of me. But, just because they are animals doesn't mean they don't deserve a peaceful death. Every life is precious, and I thank each animal I drink for their contribution to the "Feed-Jasper-Whitlock-Cullen" fund."
I don't know what came over me, but suddenly, I was overtaken by his utter kindness that I leaned into him and wrapped my arms around his slender body.
Whoa… Unexpected…
But he reciprocated, and we embraced for a few minutes. The growl of the other lion in the distance startled us and we stepped apart. Before I ran to get the other lion, Jasper reached out and touched my face. His eyes ran over it completely and then dropped his hand so I could hunt again.
I was beginning to think that this was the best hunting trip ever.
Alright, so tell me what you think about this first chapter, mkay? I absolutely luuuurv reviews! ^_^
Oh, if you haven't already, I HIGHLY suggest you dearies read "Said and Done" by ICMezzo. I must say, it is my absolute FAVORITE fan fiction piece I've ever read! It's JasperxEdward, and Edward is an adorably clueless vampire who is hopelessly drawn to human guitarist, Jasper. This story is absolutely, toe curlingly adorable and you will laugh your pigtails off. (Hell yeah I just said that) Warning, don't read it in public or around anyone who doesn't understand fan fiction. You will look like a mad person who needs to be put in a straight jacket and sent to the funny farm. I made the mistake of reading it on the bus once, and everyone (yes, even the smelly guy that mumbles to himself!) looked at me like I was an unraveled sweater.
So, yeah! Thanks for reading, hope you want more, and go read the previously mentioned story, mkay? Mkay. I love you dearies! PLEASE REVIEW!
