Chapter 3- Angel
It took close to half an hour for the exorcist to awaken and, when he did, he found himself covered by a cloak and that Jasdevi had started a fire with fish from a nearby creek cooking over it.
"Ugh... Jasdevi, what the heck happened?" he groaned, rubbing his head, seeing that his blood armor was now faded away. Jasdevi looked up at the voice.
"Kuketsuki!" The Noah exclaimed happily, hugging the man tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. "Y-you crashed, and got hurt!" he sobbed into Krory's shoulder, wondering to himself why he was so relieved. Krory smiled, rubbing the teen's back.
"Hey, I'm okay, just bruised. Please stop crying dear one." he whispered to the distraught Noah.
"I-I was sc-scared!" the child continued to sob, clutching Krory tightly. Arystar slowly pulled himself into a sitting position, the teen still hugging him as the vampiric male rocked him back and forth, humming a soft tune.
"Hey now," He chuckled after a while. "If we don't get up, our dinner will burn. And I don't think you will enjoy the taste of charcoal!" He whispered softly, in that silly yet soothing way of his. Jasdevi nodded and hiccuped, wiping his tears and sitting back beside the fire. He was wondering why Tyki and Road had been there at the festival. Was the Earl looking for him? Why didn't he want to go back then? He was a Noah... he belonged... where did he belong again? He no longer knew his place in the world. The Noah of Bond took the fish he had been cooking, handing one to Krory, then beginning to eat his own fish. Krory glanced at the male across from him, now changed back into his male clothing so that he could sleep. "Jasdevi? What happened?" He asked as he slid next to the boy, putting his arm around him. "Why were you so scared?" he asked, seeing the boy still had a few tears in his eyes.
"I thought... I thought..." Jasdevi gulped, choking out the next words. "... I thought you were... dead." Krory's eyes softened at the boy and his cheeks reddened slightly. This boy... is amazing. He reached over and pulled the boy to him so he was resting in his lap. He rocked the teen, calming him down. A feeling took root it Krory's chest. A feeling that he'd never felt before.
"Hush Jasdevi. I'm here. I did not leave. I'm still here..." he whispered soothingly into Jasdevi's ear. The child blushed, nuzzling into the exorcist's warm. Perhaps this was why he didn't want to go back to the Earl. Because of this man. He wanted to stay with him...
Slowly, Arystar leaned his face closer to Jasdevi's and gently kissed his forehead. Then pulled back, awaiting the boy's response to this action. The vampiric man was so worried about how the teen would react. Jasdevi blushed and then, before he knew what he was doing, gave the vampire a light peck on the lips. Arystar blushed bright red at the kiss, making the teen in his lap giggle. He then returned the favor by gently pecking the boy's cheeks. The cat ears on Jasdevi's head twitched happily and he licked Krory's neck like a kitten. The vampire exorcist went bright red, before leaning down and capturing the neko in an innocent, yet slow, kiss, while he hugged Jasdevi closer.
After a few moments, he pulled back as he stuttered out, "S-sorry Jasdevi, I didn't know what I was doing..." as he scratched the back of his head shyly, even though he still kept hugging the teen. Jasdevi's smile only widened and he closed his eyes.
"It's okay..." He purred, curling up against the man's chest.
"Come on, we should get some sleep." Krory said as he gently carried Jasdevi over to where his cloak lay. He carefully laid him down, before scooting next to him.
Tyki watched the scene with interested. They had captured, and later killed, the crow member at the festival, but had used Road's abilities to get the truth out of him. So, that exorcist had betrayed the Order to save the Noah of Bond. This might be interesting... but why did Jasdevi run from me and Road? he asked himself, glad Road was keeping quiet, probably just because her damn yaoi fangirl mind had begun kicking in. Road grinned, almost not wanting to ruin this wonderful yaoi scene. But the Earl's word was law. They had to bring Jasdevi home, no matter what. She looked up at her uncle, seeing his troubled expression.
"What's the matter Tyki-pon?" she asked. When he didn't answer she pouted. "Ne~! Tyki-pon! What's wrong?!" she whined.
"We may have a problem..." Tyki finally spoke.
"What do you mean?" Road asked curiously.
"If what that Crow said was true, then that-" The Noah of Pleasure pointed at the two other males. "is out problem. If Jasdevi has fallen for this exiled exorcist, then he most likely won't want to return, and we all remember the last time they tried to force a Noah's return..." Both Noah fell silent, remembering Neah, the awol family member. "Besides," he continued. "I represent pleasure, I myself gain energy from people's happiness, why would I wish to deprive my own brothers of that feeling?" he asked. Road nodded, looking back at the Noah of Bond.
"But the Earl said to bring him back home, no matter what." she repeated softly. "We don't have a choice Tyki..." Tyki sighed, having never felt this much happiness from the twins before, but finally he spoke.
"I know. And we will bring them back, just not now..." He said, lighting a cigarette. "We'll just tell the Earl that Crow showed up and caused us to lose track of them." Road sighed, not liking to disobey the Earl. But she also hated seeing her brethren upset.
"Alright. I'll tell the Earl. You keep an eye on him. If anything happens, if that exorcist let's any harm come to him, you bring him home okay?" she asked, looking up at the taller Noah and awaiting his reaction.
"Fine by me, as long as the vampire bitch doesn't try to get it on with Jasdevi, I don't mind babysitting." Tyki shrugged. Road giggled hysterically.
"Call me if that happens. I gots some pics to take." Tyki rolled his eyes.
"Don't tell Sheryl about this! My perverted older brother will want to write some trashy novel about this!"
"Okay uncle Tyki! I promise not to tell daddy!" and with that, Road vanished into one of her doors, leaving Tyki doubt her words.
Jasdevi and Krory lay next to each other on the cloak, neither of them asleep. The Noah of Bond remained silent, curled up against the exorcist's side, pretending to be asleep so as not to bother Krory. Said vampire was staring up at the stars above them, thoughts buzzing around in his mind. Finally, after an eternity of silence, he finally spoke, "Jasdevi, I think... I might love you..." Krory murmured, believing the teen asleep already. Jasdevi, though not actually asleep, stayed silent and still. Love him? The vampire loved him? His heart skipped a beat with joy. Love. That's what this feeling must be. Krory sighed, before saying, "you are amazing, you are stubborn, sensitive, bashful, yet so energetic and childish... you're just perfect." he whispered to the supposedly sleeping male, while he pressed a kiss to the teen's forehead with each appraising word.
Jasdevi's blush deepened with every word said. How he wanted to tell the vampire how much he loved him as well. He wanted this stupid potion to wear off quicker so that the man could stop treating him like a child in public. Jasdevi wanted to love this man... but could he? Would he be seen as a traitor by the Earl for falling in love with an exorcist? Would he become just like the 14th?
Softly, Krory turned his eyes to the sky once more and stared at the stars. "I never thought I would find someone to fill that space again... after you left Eliade." he said. Jasdevi felt something unpleasant in his stomach... who's Eliade? Whoever they are, he doesn't like them! He listened closer. "The whole time, I knew that the love you felt was not wholly for me... and I thought that was all a beast such as I could get out of love, but now... here I am, with my very own mischievous angel at my side..." he chuckled, pulling Jasdevi closer, being careful not to 'wake' him.
Angel? Jasdevi felt himself tear up slightly. He had never been referred to as 'angel'. All he
had ever heard people call him was demon, monster, freak, abomination... he had never been loved truly... not even by his own parents. Now, he realized that he found love and comfort with the most unlikeliest of people. An exorcist. He smiled and pressed himself closer to Krory.
The exorcist blinked, surprised at the sudden movement. "I'm sorry angel dear, did I wake you?" Krory asked, before going red, not knowing that the Noah had already heard him refer to him as such. Jasdevi shook his head.
"It's fine..." He muttered, not wanting to tell the vampire that he'd heard every word.
"Why are you still awake?" he asked curiously.
"Oh, just had to get a few things off my mind..." Krory answered truthfully, moving a piece of Jasdevi's hair to behind his ear. He pulled the teen to his chest, where the Noah was shocked to feel droplets land in his hair. Jasdevi looked up, seeing tears. He slowly reached a crimson gloved hand to the man's cheek, gently wiping away the tears with his thumb.
"Kuketsuki... why are you crying? Is something wrong?" he asked softly. Krory just looked down at the Noah, a true smile on his face as he continued to cry.
"No, nothing's wrong my dear, everything is fine... I no longer feel empty thanks to you." he said shyly, pressing their foreheads together as he wrapped the Noah of Bond in a tender embrace and just stared into his eyes.
"Empty?" Jasdevi asked, feeling his own empty feeling vanishing slowly. "How so?"
"I was always alone, persecuted for what I was... and even when I thought I had found love once before, I still felt empty, alone and forgotten when I rotted in that castle and even in the Order. I knew I didn't fit in. But now, here with you, with not even a roof over our heads, I feel... whole." He whispered, pulling Jasdevi closer with each word.
"That's... kind of like me..." Jasdevi said slowly, remembering his own tortured past. Looking into his eyes as he cupped his chin, Arystar leaned in and kissed him slowly with passion, for the long moments before pulling back and saying,
"We should sleep now my dearest. We need to rise early if we are to evade the Crow..." Jasdevi nodded, blushing madly, and curled up once again against Krory's chest.
"Good night...Krory..." Jasdevi whispered, before sleep overtook him.
'KAWAII! :3
Jasdevi: Shut up.
Oh, quit pouting. It IS cute. He admitted his feelings to you.
Jasdevi: *blushes and looks away*
That's what I thought. Anyway, thanks again to Jasdevi's Secret Sissy for the help. :) Next chapter will be up soon. Bye nii~
