HEY GUYS! I WATCHED THIS AMAZING NEW ANIME AND AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH IT! Its called Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo. There is so much obvious underlying yaoi to it that I just couldn't believe the lack of fan fictions. So I wrote this up. You don't really need to watch the anime to get it but I highly recommend it (just because it's amazing).

So you guys know the drill. Review! Yell at me on any stories you're dying for me to update to (so I can set my priorities)

"Albert."
I looked over and saw him. The count. I couldn't help but smile huge at the sight of him. He had gone off for a while and had finally returned. My heart was racing as he walked over, that sweet gentle smile on his face, his eyes shining happily. I ran towards him. I think everyone realized just how much I missed him when he was gone. They all said I was different. Kind of depressed. I always told them it was nothing. Franz, being the ever observant one, brought up that I only got that way whenever the count went away. I told him it was not and went off. But he knew and so did I. though I didn't really know why I was so upset by his absence.
His hand on my shoulder brought me out of my thoughts. "Albert. Are you alright?" he looked at me. His eyes were so filled with concern that I smiled and shook off my thoughts.

"I'm fine Count. I'm glad to see you're back. How was the trip?"

He smiled. "It was nice. But there was something missing throughout the whole thing."
I looked at him confused. He had his two body guards with him, as well as his lovely lady. What could have been missing? "What was it Count? Did you ever figure it out?"
He smiled. It was…..different. I'm not sure whether it was a good or bad different. But it sent chills down my spine and a blush to my face. "Yes I do believe I did Albert. But that's for another days talk. Why don't we go relax with some drinks."
I nodded quickly and went with him back to his home. He told me of all the planets he had visited on his trip, and we made a list of ones I should like to visit one day, perhaps after our time with the Count was done. That single thought nearly brought tears to my eyes. The thought of the Count leaving us….leaving me…..
I snapped out of it quickly to notice him staring at me. "Are you sure everything is alright Albert? You seem out of it badly."
I just smiled. "I'm fine Count. I guess I'm just tired is all. I haven't really been sleeping lately so that's all it is."
His worry softened but didn't go away. "Please feel free to go use one of the rooms then and rest. You need your sleep."
I shook my head. "No no I'm fine Count really. I just haven't been sleeping because dreams keep waking me up. Though I might actually call them nightmares."

"What are they about Albert?"
A light blush crossed my face. "It's nothing really Count. Just silly child's nightmares."

He smiled. It was that smile again. I still didn't know what it was, good or bad, but this time I just looked down at my drink. "Really Count it's nothing. Don't worry."

"Still I would like for you to go use a room. I insist."
I just nodded. I knew the Count wouldn't give up until I gave in. He showed me to a room and left me to rest. I laid back on the bed, staring at the wall. The Count knew something was going on. And I think he knew it had to do with him. But I couldn't help it. He haunted my dreams. Sometimes they were normal. Me and him having a few drinks. Laughing and talking. But there are others…..we've drank too much….and the Count isn't himself…..he takes me to the wall….and then I make myself wake up. I know what's about to happen. I just can't bear to see it. Yet a part of me wants to see it, even more wants it to happen. But the thought of the Count doing that to me….it was so wrong….but the idea seemed….

I sat up quickly. Thinking of that wouldn't help anything. And if I went back to the Count still thinking of that he would notice something. I shook it off and walked back out to him. He looked up when I entered the room.

"Albert. I thought you were resting."
"I couldn't get to sleep. Don't worry about it ok Count? I'm fine."
He stood. "Perhaps Albert, you just need something to wear yourself out doing."
I blinked. "Like what Count?"

That smile came back to his face. It made him look almost like a predator, staring down his prey. By instinct I stepped back. He simply stepped towards me, backing me into the wall. There was nowhere else for me to go. This was turning into one of my dreams. That's all this was. I was still asleep. It was one of those weird waking dreams. It gave me all the courage I needed to stand up to him. "Count what are you doing."
He put a finger to my lips. "Albert. Have you ever really thought much about what you truly want in life? Or I suppose I should say who."
"I…what? Count I'm engaged you know that."
He smirked, laughing. "Oh I do know. But Albert, one can marry without loving. And one can love another while being engaged." He moved closer, close enough that I could feel the cold coming from him. I shivered. "Admitting to the feelings is what's hardest to do."
"C-Count….what are you…."
"Hush Albert. It's time I help you sort out all of the thoughts that have been going mad in your mind. Like your thoughts on me." He ran his fingers down my face slowly. I shivered, a blush coming to my face.

I was frozen. It was one of my dreams all over again, and yet I knew that I was awake. "C-Count….I…"
"Hush Albert." He leaned even closer to me. "I want to help you realize all of this."

I blushed brightly as he leaned in closer to me. I could feel his breath on my face. It was the only warm thing about him. I watched him closely as he leaned in and kissed me. My eyes widened, yet I found myself leaning into it. The Count smiled into the kiss. I pulled back quickly. "C-Count wait. What are you doing?"

He smirked and kissed me again, cutting me off from saying anything else. I knew he was forceful, a man that did what he had to to get what he wanted. I didn't know whether to give in or fight back. So I let him continue. He pulled me tight to him, wrapping an arm around my waist, a hand moving to my neck. I put my hands to his chest, fully intending to push him away. Yet part of me was screaming no, to stay put and let it continue. I couldn't help it. I stayed still, just letting him do it. He pulled back. "Albert. I would not do anything you are not ok with. But you're hiding your true thoughts and feelings. And I want to help you realize them. I have told you nearly all my secrets. Now it is time to realize your own."
I nodded slowly. I didn't know what to think or say. This was different from my dreams. The Count was taking into mind my thoughts, yet he wanted me in his bed still. I didn't know what to do. He was leading me to his room, and I didn't stop him. I knew it wasn't ok. This wasn't ok at all, yet, I knew in some odd way this was what I wanted.
The Count opened his door, pulling me in. "Make your choice Albert. Take a chance and discover your thoughts, or continue to hide away."
