A/N from A.C.: It's so difficult writing Nero how I want him to be in this! XD I'm so used to him being the adorable submissive. Ah, well. I hope it's alright.

Weiss took a little step forward and gave a small nod, "I have no where else to go... I'll go with you..."

Those bright crimson eyes sparkled and Weiss knew that behind the mask, the strange man was smirking again, "Very good choice, my beloved Brother..." The metal wings folded back and the clawed hand was held out again, "Come with me."

The white-haired man gave a slight nod and cautiously took Nero's hand, "Alright... Where are we going?"

"To my shelter. You must be hungry, yes? I just recently went hunting." He started to walk, expertly dodging trees and dragging his brother behind him.

Weiss stumbled after him, trying not to fall face first on he forest floor, "Hunting?"

"Yes. I am not one to show myself to people in the nearby town... I hunt for food." Nero spoke with a slight annoyed tone in his voice, as if he did not really want to explain any of this.

He cut through a thick bunch of brush and weeds and the two men entered a cave carved into the large mountains deep within the forest. Light entered through small cracks in the top of the cave and highlighted the vines and bits of moss on the walls. Nero let go of his Brother's hand, walking over to a large flat rock that was being used as a table. He picked up a matchbook and lit one with a strike against the flit. He headed over to the wall and lit a torch on fire. The burning flames spread light all around the small cave and Nero looked over at Weiss.

"Welcome to my little home, dearest Brother." The raven-haired man tilted his head to the side slightly and stepped closer to the other man, "Are you hungry?"

"Uh... a little, I guess..." Weiss looked around the small area, walking further inside, touching the stone and wooden furniture gently. "This is your house?"

"It is my shelter. 'House' is not a word I like to use." Nero turned from the torch and walked over to a little storage box that looked like it used to be a shipping crate. He pulled a few pieces of dried meat from the box and walked back over to his Brother, handing him the meat. "Here you go. I'm sorry for not having anything... more human."

Weiss took the meat and took a tentative bite, surprised to find he enjoyed the taste, "This is fine. Thank you."

The taller of the twins nodded and looked around the small area, "I will have to go out and collect material for a bed for you. You can sleep on my bed tonight, Brother."

The other man arched a white brow, "Bed? Where?"

The masked man nodded over to the corner of the cave where a patch of dirt was covered in a miss-match of leaves, grass, feathers and what looked like either wool or cotton. "I'm sorry for not having any real human objects... I'm not really comfortable going into towns as I am. So I make do."

"But... Where will you sleep, Nero?"

"I suppose I can sleep on the couch tonight." Nero gave a small nod, "Yes, that will be fine."

Weiss blinked a few times and looked from the 'couch' to his Brother, "It's a big rock. How will you be comfortable if you sleep there?"

"I won't be, but your comfort means more to me than my own, dearest Brother." Nero moved in front of Weiss in a quick second from the other side of the cave. He ran his hand down the side of the slowly blushing face, shadow black fingernails contrasting with the pale pink of the skin there.

Weiss felt himself lean into his Brother's touch, "Well... How 'bout we share the bed? Then we'll both be happy and comfy."

Nero's crimson eyes sparkled devilishly in the flickering light of the cave, "That sounds wonderful, my beloved Weiss. I suppose we could do that."

"Hey... Nero... Do you ever take that mask off?"

The metal wings twitched suddenly and Nero pulled his hand away from his sibling, "No... Not often... Only to eat, really."

"Well... Could you...? Can you take it off? For me, Nero?"

Crimson eyes searched grey for a moment... searching for something, though not sure what. "Yes... Of course, my Brother. For you." Nero reached up and unclasped his mask, letting it fall to the ground with a sharp shing of metal hitting hard stone.

Weiss blushed softly, now that he could see his Brother's face completely, he could not deny how handsome he was. Nero's skin was pale, more-so than Weiss' own. On his cheeks and over the bridge of his nose were a few cuts, probably from the metal, but Weiss just thought they made his Brother look more dangerous. What drew the smaller man's attention the most were Nero's lips. They looked soft, thin... but what was curious was that they were tinted a faint blue color. Weiss just thought this to be from the mask and not letting them get enough oxygen. But the color of the rest of his brother's angelic face was perfect.

"Oh..." He almost smacked himself for his lack of words.

Nero tilted his head, his smirk showing without the mask, "'Oh'? Am I not acceptable for you, my Brother?"

"No, no! I'm sorry. I just-"

The winged man held a finger to Weiss' lips, cutting him off from finishing his sentence, "No worries, my silly Brother. I understand. Now," He turned his head to look out of the entrance of the cave, "It is getting rather late. We can retire now and I will bring you to the next town over tomorrow."

"Why the next town over? I thought I was staying here... with you."

"I don't think you are well suited for life as I live it, my Brother. While it is good to see you again, I am afraid I must send you on your way."

"Oh... Okay, Nero... If you say so." He let the other man lead him over to the bed and he settled down on it, lying on his back. It was not very uncomfortable, Weiss found out, it was actually quite nice.

The raven-haired man crawled over the other, lying on top of him, chest-to-chest and stomach-to-stomach. Shadow black hair fell in front of the sparkling crimson eyes, blue tinted lips curved up in a smirk.

Weiss' grey eyes went wide, he squeaked as Nero held his wrists above his head, "N- Nero! What are you doing?"
