(Ebony's POV)

I couldn't stop the tears from pouring from my eyes as I stood with my back towards him. How could I face him after all these years? He left me...and I couldn't let him see me like this. He still had a hand on my shoulder, and I knew he wanted me to turn around.

But...

I was afraid...

I was afraid of him seeing me cry, afraid to actually see him...but what choice did I have? He saved my life a few years ago...might as well, right?

With a sigh I rubbed my eyes, drying the tears with the bandages around my wrists. I turned to find myself staring into mismatched green and white eyes framed by a mess of faded blonde hair. Everything else was blurry, thanks to me being a crybaby still recovering from a bloodlust murdering spree. Blurry vision aside, my arms went around him and I held him as I started crying again.

"You left me...You. Left. Me..." It was all I was able to say. I was still upset, I couldn't help it. "...you never even said goodbye..."

I froze when I felt him wrap his arms around me and pull me closer, cold lips touched my forehead before he rested his chin atop my head. "I'm sorry..."

My breathing calmed as I heard him speak. "Don't be..." I dried my eyes with my bandaged wrists again, then turned my gaze to meet his. I still couldn't see very well due to crying induced clouded eyes. "...you saved me from breaking my neck."

"And then I left you and you ended up getting hurt anyway...it won't happen again."

"Promise?"

"Promise..." He hugged me close again before letting me go. "...I'm still sorry for leaving you like that."

"How about you make it up to me?"

"How?"

"You could start by buying me a drink. I need it right now..." I smiled a bit and dried my eyes more, feeling him grab one of my wrists and lead me down the road.

-A Short While Later-

I found myself leaning against the bar, giggling at four empty bottles in front of me as I held a fifth in my right hand. I lifted the bottle to take a drink, only to have it taken from me.

"Oh, come ooonnn..."

"I think you've had enough."

"N-no...I ha-aven't...now give it back!"

I reached up to take the bottle but slipped out of my seat, being caught before I hit the ground.

"No more, I'm doing you a favor here..."

"Howso? EnLIGHTen meh..." I scrunched up my nose for...no reason, honestly.

"You drink anymore, you'll end up pissing someone off and getting yourself killed."

"Saving me again? My hero~" I giggled as I curled up in his arms, reaching up and playing with his hair.

"You're a child..."

"And you're...uh...YOU!" I poked his nose accusingly before giggling like a psychopath.

"I'll probably regret this later...but I'm taking you home with me to keep an eye on you."

"Back to your place? You haven't even told me your name~"

"I'll tell you when you're not drunk enough to forget..."

"Fiiiine..." I crossed my arms in a childish manner, but started giggling as he proceeded to stand up and carry me. "...can't you wait until I can walk on my own?"

A moment of silence passed before I was put down. I sat down in a chair, then was blocked from moving when he sat in the chair next to me. I had nowhere to go, unless I knocked a hole in the wall, so I stared at him...he actually didn't seem to notice.

Moments passed and I was getting bored. I hadn't sobered up much, if at all, and I began to grin.

"What're you giving me that look for?"

"No reason~"

I hopped over onto his lap, my legs on each side of him, and watched as he stared at me in a blushing state of confusion. I leaned forward until I had him trapped in his seat and we were nose to nose. Without warning I placed a gentle kiss on his lips, but when I tried to pull away he held me in place.

The next thing I knew I was being carried out the door, my legs were around his waist and our lips were locked in a lustful embrace. My hands moved from his shoulders to his back, and he seemed not to notice my claws tearing through to his skin. I grinned and quickly dragged one of my sharp fingers across his back to leave a mark, but he returned the favor by pressing me against a wall and biting my neck. I blushed as he rid himself of the shredded clothes, tossing the pieces aside in the hallway of the building we had entered moment ago.

(Lemon scene begins here, you have been warned.)

A short few seconds later our lips met again, his bare upper half pinning me against a door that he was desperately trying to open. We separated for a moment, giving me time to remove my top and toss it aside as he managed to get the door open. I was lifted and my legs were around his waist again as we entered the apartment, our lips made contact as he kicked the door shut behind us.

I managed to quickly rid myself of my Converse and slip my socks off before I was pinned down on the bed. I felt my heart stop for a moment as his lips touched my neck and found their way up to my own. I wiggled my arms out of his grip and unbuttoned my jeans and kicked them off along with my already dampened panties, all without our lips parting. Once I was in just my bra I reached downward, only to have both arms pinned above my head with a single hand. His lips moved back to my neck as he used his free hand to undo his jeans and slip them downward with his boxers, freeing his length from its prison.

My breathing became shaky as I felt him spread my legs with his knees, my heartbeat increased as I felt him start to push forward. A stinging pain shot through me as he pushed in, my entrance stretching and forming around the thick piece. Tears shown in my eyes and I opened my mouth to tell him to stop, but a moan slipped out as he pushed in deeper. I felt him pull out then thrust back in, repeating this action slowly and gently. The pain started to go away, being replaced with a feeling of pure passion as he began to pick up speed.

The faster and deeper he went, the louder my moans became. As if on complete instinct my legs went around his waist and I tangled my claws in his hair as a warm feeling escaped my lower region. He didn't seem bothered as his hands moved down to my hips, lifting me up slightly as he kept pounding into me.

The sounds of panting, moaning, and the bed hitting the wall echoed throughout the apartment as we continued for what seemed like eternity until, finally, he shoved in one final time and I was filled with a warmth that seemed to reach deeper than one would think possible. I felt myself flat on the bed again as he bent down to place a loving kiss on my lips before pulling out and laying next to me.

(It ends here, it's now safe to read on.)

I laid there trying to catch my breath as he pulled the blankets over us, a bit winded himself. I felt his arms go around me and pull me close, my body blushed a light shade of pink and I couldn't help but smile. I went to speak, but the sound of soft snoring behind me signaled he was asleep. I yawned, curling up in his arms.

I actually felt safe...and loved. My smile remained as I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
