A/N: Just a few Author notes before we begin. First of all, this story is going to contain yaoi - boyxboy love. There will be mature themes, and explicit scenes. If that is going to bother you, don't bother reading. Alright? Alright. I'll have more thorough author notes at the beginning of the actual first chapter. I don't want to spoil anything. That said...enjoy. (:

Love is Love

"Touch me.. I want to feel you touching me," a voice demanded, soft and delicate, effected by a heavy breath. Alfred obeyed, long fingers raking over the other male curiously; carrassing his cheeks, gently sliding down his chest, stopping when they brushed across the obvious hardness in his briefs - the only piece of clothing that separated the two. A gasp escaped the slender male beneath Alfred as he rubbed at the member with tender passion.

"Please, I need... I .. I - " the soft words came, stuttered and forced.

"What's the matter, Arthur?" he asked with a cruel smile stretching his lips.

"Thanks, Matt." Alfred responded, cutting him off as he sat up, smiling a fabricated smile before leaning over and kissing Matthew's cheek, sleep evident not only in his voice but in the slow movements of his body. Matthew smiled back,

"I'll call you as soon as it's ready. It'll just be a sec, eh?"

"Alright." he replied, plopping back down as Matthew left the room, trying desperately to fall asleep and recapture his dream; but it was of no use.
