The sky above was littered with hues of orange and pink, deepening in the east to violets and indigo, fading to deep black dappled with stars as the sun sets slowly in the west. As the last desperate rays of light disappeared beyond the horizon, he out toward them as if to take the sun in hand and pull it back.

Cody felt a cold chill wind its way up his back; he shivered as he felt the sweat dappled on his skin from the hot, humid air cool and drip slowly down his skin, almost like a lover's finger tracing his flesh.

His throat closed and he gulped thickly as the last remains of evening disappeared and night set in, deep purple and black, stars and satellites lighting the night sky. A prayer began to form on his lips as fingers cold as ice settled on his hips and a whisper soft breath tickled his ear. "Guten Abend, Cody."

"G-good evening, Noah," His reply was choked and halting as his head was tilted to one side, the tall figure behind him burying his nose and lips in the crook of his neck, breathing deep and nipping at the flesh with long canines.

"You smell particularly delicious tonight, Schätzlein," the vampire nuzzled his smooth skin, lips pressing kisses to his jugular as he pulled the boy flush against him, stomach to back, a large hand on his stomach to keep him from running.

"Nn.." Cody squirmed as a tongue flicked against his skin, sending shivers down his spine as the monster played with him, toyed with him like he was no more than a kitten. "You say that every time you visit," he managed to turn his head to stare up into the vampire's face, taking in the feral grin, the dark, immaculately styled hair, the surprisingly tanned skin.

A tongue flicked out from between Noah's lips in an almost snake-like fashion before trailing thoughtfully over his lower lip for a moment. "It is because you always smell that way, ja," he replied before pressing forward, cupping Cody's chin in his hand and pressing his lips firmly against the boy's.

Cody's eyes slid closed after a moment, responding to the kiss as Noah willed him to, turning in the vampire's arms, wrapping his own about Noah's neck as he opened his mouth against the taller man's. The kiss turned passionate, almost desperate as Cody forced himself to think of Noah as nothing more than a man, a normal lover.

Icy hands slid up his shirt and he jerked back to earth, panting and pulling himself away from the vampire as much as he could, though the hands on his back remained and was kept against the lean body. "Every night," Cody whispered, "You do this every night. Why don't you just bleed me out already?"

Noah's face contorted into one of almost pain; he clutched the boy to him and buried his face in the crook of Cody's shoulder as he pressed so close, so tight that Cody felt as if his bones were going to pop. "Ohne dich kann ich nicht leben," the vampire whispered against the warm skin, "I could not." Noah pulled away regretfully.

He kept Cody here, in this house deep in the mountains. The vampire had found him walking alone and unprotected in the City one night; saw the eyes of his brother's as they took in the sight of fresh prey. "Do you really hate it here so much?" He asked as Cody rubbed his arms, bringing warmth back into his flesh.

"Of course I do!" Cody snapped back, his docile personality taking a back seat to his anger. "You keep me locked away like some kind of fairy princess! I never even got to say goodbye to my sisters, my mother!" There were tears in his eye.

"Do not cry-" Noah reached out to touch him, pulling back as Cody flinched. "There is always food, running water. There is even television! What more do you need?"

"How about contact with other human beings?" Cody snapped back.

"I am not good enough?"

"You barely speak, you only come to me when you want to be fed," he bit his lower lip, wincing as his teeth cut too deep; he felt the blood well up on his flesh and tensed, waiting to be attacked.

Cold arms encircled him, he hunched his shoulders as he waited for the fangs. Surprisingly, Noah merely wiped the blood off of Cody's lip with a finger brought to trembling lips, wiping the red liquid on the fabric of his trousers.

"Is that really what you think? Du machst mich so glücklich, Schätzlein,"his voice was soft, almost desperate as he brushed Cody's short bangs from his face. "I am sorry. It has been so long...time passes differently for me - I've forgotten that humans are so--fragile."

Cody looked up into the dark, fathomless eyes of the vampire. "Why do you keep me here then, if it's not for food?"

There was a warmth in Noah's eyes that didn't match the touch of his skin as he brought his hand up to Cody's lip once more before cupping his cheek fondly. He pressed forward, kissing Cody chastely.

"I need your life to extend my own, it is true," he started as he pulled back, tilting the boy's head back and kissing his jaw, the corner of his mouth, starting a path up and down his neck, "but more than that, you make me happy Schätzlein. I wish to be with you."

Cody was trembling. "W-why couldn't you have told me that before?"

Noah pulled away, a smirk teasing the corners of his lips upward. "You cannot honestly tell me if I had come up to you and told you I wished to be with you that you would have done anything other than report me to the Hunters," he smiled a little wider as Cody's face turned impossibly pink.

"Yeah, I guess.." Cody grumbled, looking away as the vampire pulled him close, cuddling him. "Your skin is like ice," he complained as the rough pads of Noah's fingers slipped over his skin, one hand curling in the soft hair at the nape of Cody's neck, tilting his head back for another kiss.

"There are ways to heat it up," the vampire purred suggestively, settling his hands over Cody's lower back, sliding them southward, cupping his buttocks.

"H-hey!' Cody protested, "I barely even know you yet, isn't it a bit early for that?"

Noah frowned thoughtfully, kneading his hands in the most embarrassing way against Cody's butt before smiling down at the human. "I suppose. But to get to know each other better, it means you will need to stay here. With me, Schätzlein."

Cody refused to look at Noah as he reached up, curling his fingers in the vampire's shirt tightly. "Just don't leave me alone all the time, okay?"

Hands trailed up his back, cupping his shoulders as Noah pressed a kiss to his lips, "Some changes will be in order to affect, I agree," he deepened the kiss, before making his way once more to his neck, nipping the flesh. "..may I, Cody?"

Cody nodded, his head rolling back to be caught by a waiting hand as fangs sunk into his neck.

PS: I'm using the femine for the endearment Schätz, because if you use just that, it honestly sounds like you're calling someone doodoo, and poo on that. XD

Review please!
