Harry groaned as his body told him it was time to wake, for some reason he found that he slept better in this strange place with Erik than he ever did in his own home it might have something to do with the fact that Harry knew Erik wouldn't hurt him or betray him like everyone else had. Which was saying something and the sad part was that Harry knew it was far too true, however when Harry awoke he found something pressed against the lower of his back. Harry felt strong arms tighten around him and he knew that Erik was with him, Harry figured that the reason he felt so safe was because Erik was with him. That still didn't explain what was prodding him in the lower back, just as he was about to get out of the bed he felt himself being pulled onto Erik's solid chest. Harry couldn't help the blush that covered his cheeks as he looked at all of the muscle that was on Erik, Harry moved trying to get comfortable when he heard Erik moan. It wasn't one of pain but something Else and Harry couldn't figure out just what it was, Harry wiggled and Erik moaned again just as he nearly broke free gold eyes snapped open.
"If you do not stop moving I will not be held responsible for my actions."
Harry shivered at the husky quality that Erik's voice had and the dark promise that was with the tone Erik's voice was like satin, beautiful and so very dangerous should you get tangled up in it Harry's eyes widened when he realised just what had been prodding him in the back. Erik's gold eyes darkened with desire as he looked at Harry.
"Do you like what you see my angel? Do you see just what you do to me?"
Harry gasped at the words that Erik had just spoke, he had no idea that Erik felt like that. Erik played things close to his chest and Harry knew that, so it was a real shock to him to find out that Erik desired him. After all Erik had given no signs of showing that he found him attractive or desirable, Harry barely had any real time to think over what he had been told as Erik had started to kiss and nip at his neck. Harry felt as if his blood was on fire as Erik continued to kiss his neck, Harry moaned and gave into the feeling as Erik continued to lavish his neck with kisses. Erik's arms tightened around Harry and soon Harry found himself pinned under Erik, one of Erik's hands were used to pin Harry's wrists above his head and Harry felt helpless.
Deep down Harry knew that Erik wouldn't hurt him but he couldn't stop the feeling of helplessness, it reminded him of being in his cell and chained down. Having no one visit him, the feeling, the doubt. At first he tried to squash the feeling, the doubts that were slowly creeping in the little voices inside of him saying that Erik didn't really care about him, that he just wanted him for his body that there was no feelings between them. Harry felt his breath quicken as he felt the beginnings of a panic attack forming, he hadn't had one since he was a small child he had learned to deal with them but now he was having one.
Erik stopped what he was doing when he felt Harry's quick breath on his neck, at first he had put it down to Harry being affected by what he was doing but now he knew that there was something else going on. He pulled back and looked at Harry who was staring wide eyed at the rocky ceiling, his breathing coming out in fast pants. It took Erik a few seconds to realise just what Harry was having, he quickly rolled off Harry before he grabbed hold of Harry and placed him on his lap while trying to soothe him.
"Listen to me my angel, you are safe here. It is Erik, Erik whom you have lived with for some time, feel me. Feel the warmth that I am giving off, listen to my heartbeat."
At first Harry struggled to understand what Erik was saying, he couldn't feel the warm arms wrapped around him offering him comfort and security, he couldn't hear the heartbeat that kept him grounded that reminded him that he was safe. Erik wasn't sure what had set Harry off, panic attacks didn't happen for no reason Erik knew that as he had suffered from them as a small child so he knew about them and he could remember the feelings in very vivid detail. But back then he didn't have his angel he didn't even know his angel existed it had just been him, his uncaring mother and abusive alcoholic father. Not even the servants had cared about him, his name wasn't even his own, he had been named after the family dog that had died. But now Harry was here and he knew that he wouldn't let Harry leave him, oh he had no doubt that Harry would want to see the world above, the world of sunlight but Erik wouldn't let him. Not when he lived in the darkness and shadows, but deep down he knew that Harry was a creature of light and would want to return to it.
There was no way that he was going to allow any of them to take Harry off him, Erik wondered if he was just slightly obsessed with Harry. Erik shook his head there would be time to think on that later not now, not when his angel needed him. But somewhere in the back of his mind he knew that he did have an obsession with Harry, that he would gladly bathe the streets in blood should anyone try and take Harry away from him. But after being alone for so long he couldn't let Harry go, he couldn't let someone else take Harry away from him, not when he had just got him.
Erik had always known that life wasn't fair, that there would always be something that came along and ruined everything. Most of the time he was right, and he hated being right because being right meant that he knew that the bad things would be coming soon. He could feel Harry's breath slowing down back to a safe level, but that wasn't enough for him. It would never be enough. He knew that his angel would have scars and he knew that there would be set back in certain things, but there should have been no reason for Harry to react like he had done. Unless, Erik didn't like where his thoughts were going, if they went down this path then he knew for a fact that he would be sent into one of his rages. A rage where he wouldn't be able to tell friend from foe.
He needed to get away, the last thing he wanted was to hurt Harry. Harry who hadn't done anything to harm him, filled with a large amount of regret he left Harry. When Harry finally came around, he found that he was in the large bedroom that he shared with Erik by himself. It was clear that Erik had left him for some reason, while it hurt that Erik had left him it also gave him time to explore. He needed to know if there was a way out or if Erik lived completely underground, and if it was true then Harry knew that he would need to find a way to get some sunlight.
He was not arrogant enough to think that he could create sunlight, even though he had magic he was reluctant to use it. The last thing he wanted or needed was for Erik to find out, he had no idea how the other man would react, Harry shivered as he thought about what a powerful man like Erik could do to his body. Harry knew that even with his magic he wouldn't be able to stand up to the raw power that was Erik, but at the same time he knew that he couldn't stay in this place forever. Harry hissed as his feet hit the cold stone floor, even after all this time he still couldn't get used to it.
Just as Harry was about to make his escape Erik appeared out of seemingly nowhere, there was a basket in his right hand. Erik smiled when he saw Harry and held out his hand to him, Harry looked at the hand then he looked at Erik, for some reason he had the feeling that he was about to make a deal with his own personal devil. Harry bit his lip, wasn't it his turn to be selfish? Wasn't it his turn to have someone look after him? Harry looked at the hand and made a decision.
Harry took the offered hand.
