Chapter 1: The cheek of it

Albel Nox of the Black Dragon Brigade stood watching the tall blonde for some time rant on about how he defeated the Marquis with ease and that he was the one who had to look out for the lot of us because we couldn't take care of our selves. He didn't know about the rest of the maggots but he had had just about enough of the blonde's babble to last him a life time, and Albel Nox of all people could feel the start of a headache coming on.

Without waiting for the others to catch up Albel made his way to the city of Aquious. He just didn't understand why he agreed to the old man's stupid quest in the first place…Oh yes. It was so he could clear the damn sentence he had on him all because of those maggots meddling in his city.

"I would have been better off left in the prison cell to rot!" Albel stated to himself dryly.

Unfortunately for Albel no matter how hard he tried to break away from the group they would always catch up. So within a couple of minutes Albel was back with the annoying group or unfortunately they were back with him.

The group arrived at Aquious some time in mid afternoon and headed straight for the inn to rest. Well some at least Nel decided to speak with one of her friends. (who seemed to be in every town) Fayt and Sofia went straight to their rooms to rest and so Albel and Cliff were left with a room to share which neither of them were to say the least bit keen on.

Cliff thought it would be alright if he just didn't open his mouth. Everything they ever discuss or are in the middle of discussing or has been discussed ended up with both of them if not one of them being in a quarrel.

" Your not clever you know maggot, and I don't need protection from the likes of you. If anything it's the other way around." Albel final said to brake the silence and the tension that was building up in the room.

"Oh yeah well your not so tough yourself if all you can do is swing that sword of yours and hope for the best." Cliff replied with narrow eyes.

"watch your tongue maggot you may have a lot of big words but unless you can back them up, which I doubt then I'd keep it shut."

Cliff was about to reply to that last remark when both of them get interrupted by a knock on the door. Both men's eyes narrow to slits at the fact that they had just been disturbed in one of there verbal arguments and at the same time shout out.

"WHAT"

"WHAT"

"Could you please keep the noise down other people do actually stay here as well." The in keeper stated rather firmly.

A grumble was herd from both men in acknowledgement to the innkeepers question and when the innkeeper left Cliff said something about it being Albels fault in the first place and that he always opens his damn trap and lands them both in it. Albel of course hearing his words simply replied.

"If you don't like me talking why don't you try to shut me up."

As if on invitation Cliff moved towards Albel, raised his fist into a punching position and took a swing for the cross dresser's stomach. Blocking the attack with ease Albel grabbed the blonde man's clenched fist and twisted it back making him bend forward in an awkward position. Cliff tried struggling but to no avail.

" Now Cliff since your just standing there in pain pay attention. We're going to play a little game. All you have to do is answer the questions that I ask you and judging on whether you answer them right or wrong will determine the condition of your arm. So shell we begin."

"fuck you." cam the reply from Cliff.

"If that's your intention then I guess you've answered half of my questions already." Albel said in a low voice directly level with Cliff's ear.

Cliff could feel the warm breath hit his ear and he let what Albel said sink in not noticing that he was blushing. He couldn't believe he let this happen I mean what a person to get tricked by and turned on by. This wasn't any normal person, this was Albel Nox, his rival and secret crush.

Cliff didn't know how to react but one thing he knew for sure was that he had to get out of this room or he was going to reveal to Albel what he realy thought about and wanted.

Albel had this evil smirk playing across his lips and knew exactly what sort of game he was playing. That fool was so rapped up in his looks that he didn't even realise that he had released his arm. It was just too damn tempting and so Albel threw caution to the wind and pressed his lips upon the blonde's.

Cliff's eyes expanded his enemy's touch feels like electricity surging through his every vain. He felt like giving up there and then but thought against the idea and so instead did the next best thing. Cliff's knee connected with Albel's groin and in minutes the cross dresser was kneeling down right in front of him.

"The cheek of it." Albel said aloud letting his opponent hear the words.
