-1Merry "X-Mas," Cliff
As the joyous voices of his friends floated up from the floor below, Cliff groaned and rolled over to face the wall. Christmas was supposed to be a time of celebration, but he couldn't bring himself to partake in the fun. Frankly, all the fluff floating through the air around his friends depressed him. Fayt had Sophia, Nel had Clair, Adray and Mirage had both found random lovers, Roger had Peppita, and Cliff… Cliff had no one.
Sighing again, he closed his eyes tightly, trying to will himself asleep. The sooner he could fall asleep, the sooner the day would be over. After that, everything would go back to normal.
His eyes shot open when he heard his door open slowly. Whoever it was, they were taking care not to be heard. The door snapped shut and the intruder padded over to Cliff, only to be tackled by the blond. Glancing down, Cliff noticed the customary glare of Albel. Looking further down, Cliff saw that Albel was not wearing his shirt nor his hooker boots.
"Mind getting off, worm?" Albel hissed, shoving at Cliff, who moved obligingly.
"What are you doing up here?" Cliff asked, tearing his eyes from the red dragon tattoo that encircled the other's body.
"Hmph. The maggots down there were annoying me." Albel sniffed, looking away from Cliff, a sure sign that he was lying. Or, at least not telling the whole truth. However, Cliff decided to let it be. He lay back down onto his bed, facing away from Albel. He didn't trust himself around the thinner boy, especially when he wore so little clothing as now.
Albel, on the other hand, wasn't going to allow that. He stood up and set his claw onto Cliff's arm. He lightly dragged it across Cliff's arm, earning a shudder from the blond. He grinned before beginning to suckle on the back of Cliff's neck, still running his claw up and down Cliff's arm. Cliff moaned and turned over, dragging the two-tone into a kiss. Albel didn't fight it; instead, he made it deeper by opening his mouth to allow Cliff's tongue access. As Cliff dragged the other boy onto his bed and began undressing him, he had only one thought.
This is the best Christmas ever.
