Ah! I know, right! Intense! Ok, so, I know that vampires don't have blood, therefore they can't blush, but, come on, people, I gotta make Tommy blush! If I didn't, it wouldn't be right!

Chapter Two: Bring Me Too Life

No One POV:

"S-Sauli…" his boyish voice filled the room.

Adam's already dark eyes darkened even more and his hands shook as he put the pieces together. He pinched the bridge of his nose and stopped breathing.

"Adam?" Tommy began to get scared. Whenever Sauli got angry, he would slap Tommy… and Sauli is the one who loves him! Imagine angering someone who doesn't love you!

"Adam, I-I'm so sorry! He-he just made things seem so… I don't know how to explain it…" Adam slowly stood, his outraged eyes pinned on the small blond, who was trembling. His eyes brimming with tears, all Tommy could think to do was apologies and maybe, just maybe, the unruly vamp would grant him mercy… "I-I, I'm so sooo s-sorry, Adam. Pl-please, please understand, he was so… t-trustworthy and n-nice and… I'm so sorry! Please f-forgive me, A-Adam, please! Don't hurt me, Adam… pl-please d-don't hurt me!" the tears spilled over.

Adam advanced on Tommy, causing the smaller man to brace himself for a slap. He yelped in surprise as Adam wrapped his arms around him. "No, no, no, Tommy, it's not your fault, no! I'm not mad at you, dear! I'm pissed at Sauli! And why would I hurt you, Glitters?" he stroked Tommy's hair, softly, as Tommy cried into the raven-haired singers shoulder with relief.

Suddenly, the apartment door burst open. Tommy leaped out of Adam's arms and onto the counter in a cat-like stance, ready for a fight. Adam, also ready for a fight, crouched near to the ground, a low growl escaped his lips through clenched teeth.

Sauli leaned, calmly against the wooden door frame. "Thought I'd find you here, Glitterbaby." he smirked as Adam flinched at the name.

Only Adam could call Tommy Glitterbaby…

The two stood, eyes narrowed at each other, just daring the other to move. Tommy could literally cut the tension in the room with a knife! "G-Guys, come on, now, let's not overreact!" Tommy held his arms out, resting a hand on each of their chests.

Adam's body arched toward the hand pressed against his chest, loving the feel of the smaller mans skin against his shirt. He moaned a little at the contact, and gripped Tommy's forearm, dragging the hand up to his face. He kissed his palm sweetly.

Tommy smiled at the reassurance he was receiving. Did Adam know how scared he was? Is he comforting him? The only answer Tommy could think of that would make sense was 'yes'.

Like a wave washing over a sandy beach, Tommy was hit with a sudden realization. Sauli was wrong… Adam was telling the truth… Adam did love him…

"Tommy, come back home… where you belong…" Sauli, smiling smugly said, pointedly at Adam, trying to rub it in his face.

"No, Sauli."

His smile disappeared. "W-… What?"

"You heard him… he said 'no'!" Adam snapped, slipping a strong, protective arm around Tommy.

"Glitterbaby, what is this? What's going on?"

"I know, Sauli… I know you're lying to me."

"What? You… you're buying into his game again, baby! Don't do it!"

"Bye, Sauli."

"You can't get rid of me that easy, Tommy… I'll be back." and he disappeared into the night.

""""""""

Adam rubbed Tommy's temples, as the blond lay his head in his boyfriend's lap. He sighed, contentedly. "What are we gonna do about Sauli?"

"Let's not worry about him, ok?"

He sighed. "Alright… will you, uh… tell me about us… uh, how it was before Sauli… before I was like… this?" his cheeks turned a deep crimson.

I laughed, kissing his cheeks. "Well, Glitterbaby, your personality didn't change, obviously!" his cheeks reddened even more. "But… ok, it's like… every day, you would bring me to life. I swear, if I didn't have you, I would have committed suicide!"

"Aww, really?" he asked, seductively.

He laughed. "Yes, really. You complete me, Tommy Joe."

"Then why did you leave?"

"I felt like I was holding you back… like it was my fault you're like this…"

"Don't ever feel like that, Adam… I love you." he kissed me.

""""""""

Tommy POV:

Well, apparently, Adam gave me this journal that I used to write in when I was human… anyway, Adam's out hunting, and I'm home alone and bored out of my mind… the other day, I-

The trash can outside knocked over and landed with a thud, causing me to jump. If I had a heart, it would be pounding right now. Huh… must have been a cat… I went back to my notebook…

"""""""""

Adam POV:

"Tommy! Tommy, I swear to God, next time I go hunting you're coming with me! Canada's beautiful this time of year and-… Tommy?"

He stood out on the balcony, his back to me. "Adam, I… this isn't working."

"You are so right, I was thinking next time you can come with-"

"That's not what I mean."

"Then what-?"

"It's just not working, Adam. You and me. I, uh… I need some… space."

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"I just think it would be good for both of us to take a break."

I laughed. "Alright, Tommy, jokes over. Haha very funny."

"Adam…" he turned to face me, tears streaming down his face.

"Tommy?" I suddenly became worried. "What's going on?"

"A-Adam, I…" his voice cracked and he started bawling. "I-I'm sc-scared, Adam…"

"Come here." I held him and he cried into my shoulder. "Scared of what, Tommyboy?"

"I-I don't know… I just need some space, that's all!"

"I'll give you space, ok?" I lifted his chin so he could look at me. "Just… don't leave…"

"Ugh, don't make this harder than it already is!" he resumed his position at the balcony. "Look. I'm gonna get outta here, and you aren't gonna stop me." I could tell he was holding his breath.

I suddenly got very angry. Why does he want space? What's wrong with being with me? What's so hard about staying? "You wanna go? Fine then, go."

He let his breath out. "Adam-"

"No. If it's so difficult to live here, then fine, I don't care. Get the hell outta here!"

"I'm doing this for your own good, ok, Adam? Is that ok with you?" he turned, suddenly, obviously pissed.

"My own good?"

His eyes widened. "Uh… yeah. I'm, uh… bad news. You're perfect, you deserve better."

I laughed and moved closer toward him, pressing him against the metal railing of the balcony. "You aren't bad news, Tommy."

"This-this isn't funny, Adam! I'm being serious!"

"No you aren't, Tommy!"

"Adam, seriously! I need space!"

"Oh, you mean like this kinda space?" I gestured to the closeness of our bodies, jokingly.

"Adam.." his tone warning.

I laughed again and leaned down to kiss him. He put his hands on my chest and pushed me off him with all his might, slamming me against the house wall. I groaned and cracked my neck.

"You wanna go, shawty?" I said in my gangsta voice, trying to earn a laugh. He just turned and hopped off the balcony, landing lightly on his feet. He turned and stared up at me.

"Bye, Adam."

"Tommy, don't do this!" never the less, he turned and started walking towards the trees. I jumped down after him. "Tommy?"

"Stay away from me, Adam!"

"Tomm-"

"Please!" he faced me once more, the tears flowing again. "Please, just go.. GO!" he shouted, causing me to realize he was serious. He ran away fast, faster than I'd ever seen any vampire run… and he left me in the dust…

"""""""""

"Did you do it?"

"Yeah."

"Does he suspect anything?"

"No."

"Good. Well done, Glitterbab-"

"Don't call me that."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"Tomm-"

"No. leave me alone." he plopped down on the bed. "Dude, why do you have a bed?"

He grinned mischievously. "Want me to show you?"

"No."

"Oh, I think you do!"

"No! Leave me alone!"

"Ok… gee, I'd sure hate to have somebody pay because you won't sleep with me, wouldn't you, Tommy?" he slid his hand up Tommy's leg and down his pants.

He sighed. "Ok, fine… you win. Show me."
