Disclaimer: The power of three will set us free. The power of three will set us free. But it won't let me own Charmed. I am in no way associated with the show, because obviously Cole and Leo aren't together -sobs- Even Phoebe and Cole aren't together -begins to get hysterical- in fact Cole is DEAD! And no, I'm still not over it. I don't give a damn that he's been gone for a few years now. They were STUPID STUPID STUPID when they killed him off. -clears throat- But anyway, the basic point was that I don't own Charmed. Ignore everything else.
They would never have been suspected and certainly never have been found out if the complicated called Chris hadn't shown up. After all, one was married and one was dead. It was the perfect disguise. But Chris had come and he was nosy…very nosy. In fact so nosy to the point that instead of going out with his mother and two aunts he had chosen to go off somewhere by himself. At least that's what he said, when in reality he stayed home and spied on his father. And that is where the story begins.
Chapter 1:
Leo sat at the kitchen table, tapping his foot anxiously. His fingers began rapping upon the table and he looked around the room, then down at his watch, then around the room again, then back at the watch. The more time passed by the more agitated his foot got, tapping louder and faster till he was practically bouncing out of his seat.
"Come on," he muttered to the air. "Where are you?"
"Missed me?" a voice said into his ear as an arm snaked its way around his right shoulder and down chest, moving in slow, agonizing lines, up and down, light enough to be entirely sensual to Leo.
"Cole," he moaned, leaning back to capture the demon's lip in a passionate kiss. When they parted for oxygen (and mind you this took a while) Cole's eyes opened and a small smirk played on his lips.
"I'll take that as a yes." Smiling, Leo stood up and Cole kissed him again. Leo melted into the kiss, his lips parting as he felt Cole's tongue begging for entrance. Cole flicked into Leo's mouth and began to taste his lover, God he loved how Leo tasted, and it had been so long since they had seen each other. Leo moaned and pressed himself closer to Cole. When their lower regions met both knew that there was no way they could stop with simply kissing here in the kitchen. Something much more was needed and the bedroom was only an orb or shimmer away.
"Cole," Leo breathed as they parted once more.
"Let's go, shall we?" Cole said, his eyes dancing with lust and love.
"Please," Leo said, needing Cole more than anything in the world. They reached out and embraced each other and just as they were about to shimmer away they heard something fall with a loud crack.
"Shit!" someone cursed. "Shit, shit, shit, shit!" Cole let go of Leo and a dark shadow fell over his eyes.
"Who's over there?" he called. "Show yourself!" But Leo already knew who it was, he recognized the voice far to well by now.
"Chris," Leo said. "I know it's you over there."
"Dammit," Chris swore as he cautiously stepped into the kitchen. He wore a look that was sort of a cross between a child caught steeling from a cookie jar and a person walking into a room to be executed. Which might not have been so far from the truth considering how Cole was looking at Chris.
"Who is he?" Cole asked, looking sharply at Leo.
"He's…my son," Leo answered, looking down in embarrassment. Cole looked astonished.
"Isn't he a little old?"
"He's my son from the future," Leo hastened to correct himself.
"So now that you know who I am," Chris said, glaring at Cole. "Do I get to know who you are, because you certainly aren't in my time."
"The name's Cole Turner." Chris's eyes widened.
"You mean Aunt Phoebe's ex-husband?" he said in disbelief, looking at Leo in shock. Now it was Leo's turn to be shocked.
"How did you know that?" Chris shrugged.
"Its amazing what people will tell you when the world is ending," he said in that sad tone he used far too often when talking of his home. Then his eyes narrowed. "But what I don't understand is why you two were just making out in the kitchen."
"Isn't it obvious?" Cole asked. Under different circumstances Leo would have been inclined to laugh, but this was no laughing matter.
"Cole," Leo said quietly as he leaned over and whispered into his lover's ear. "We have to tread lightly or we'll get ratted out to the girls." Cole sighed and said in reply, "Maybe it's about time the girls found out that a) I was still alive and b) having a relationship with you." This startled Leo. He hadn't ever thought of the possibility of the girls finding out. He had sort of always thought that he would be married to Piper and with Cole only when they had rare moments of spare time. He knew that this was wrong, yet every time he meant to break it off with Cole they would see each other again and he would lose all will power to do so. Unlike his time with Piper when all he did was think about Cole.
"Maybe you're right," Leo finally said. Then he turned his attention back to the problem. "Chris-" But the young whitelighter had orbed out. And Leo had a sneaking suspicion to where he was headed.
"Shit," Cole said for both of them.
Short chapter? Yes. Is the second chapter longer? No. Will the third chapter be longer? That is a possibility, because quite honestly I just dragged this story out of my pile in my extraordinarily long list of word documents and decided to post the first two chapters. If its well received, then I might even get around to writing more. Huh. That would be odd -laughs- me, updating. What an odd thought. Hmm…maybe I should do that -looks guiltily down her list of unfinished stories- PLEASE REVIEW!
