They remained silent during the trip to reds room, apart from an occasional grunt from the taller demon; when one of the agents would stop and stare or whisper about John. John's ears flattened to his head, trying to block out the cruel words of the agents as he walked past.
"I forgot how cruel humans can be" John muttered as Hellboy held the volt door open for him.
"Get used to it kid, a lot of them are like that"
The cats swarmed around him as soon as they entered
"Come on move you hussies!" Red navigated through the cats as they meowed and purred like a well-oiled machine. Sitting down on the bed red relaxed and flicked on the TV and settled on the news.
John stumbled through the cats and found himself face planting Hellboys chest as he almost straddled him. Looking up he blushed furiously at the smirk on reds face, scrambling to get off he only made things worse as his tail and foot were trapped round reds leg and only succeeded in half rubbing himself on reds lap.
It was then that red noticed John was still half naked and his ass was rubbing nicely on his crotch, Red blushed despite his smirk
"Is this what got you the job pushing pancakes" Red chuckled and was quickly on the receiving end of a punch to the shoulder.
"Red!"
"What…you're beautiful" Red stared into the blue and amber eyes opposite him
"Red?" John leaned close to have red meet him the rest of the way.
Their lips gentle and nervous at first, reds slowly caressing john's pouty ones, their eyes closed as john sighed contentedly
'He's not pushing me away' Reds mind screamed in delight, expecting John to have pushed him away and made for the hills.
Red ran his hands up johns back as the kiss deepened nibbling Johns lip asking for permission, John's lips opened quickly eager to deepen the kiss.
'I've wanted this for so long' johns hands found their way into reds hair caressing his horns. Red pulled back sharply looking at Johns eyes with bewilderment.
And John looked back in understanding he cupped reds stone hand bringing it to his face and up to his own horns. Letting his own hands to fall into his lap.
Reds eyes widened and then softened as Johns eyes closed. Reds tail found Johns holding the smooth appendage slightly. John blushed at the contact slowly opening his eyes to see the soft caring look on reds face, Reds stone hand traced his horns to the tip and back the trailed down caressing his pointed ears and down his jaw to his lips his thumb caressed Johns lower lip, reds eyes followed his own hand settling on johns lips before the caught Johns. He pulled him into a right hug in his lap resting his forehead against johns. John's legs now either side of Red's hips.
'Can I really be falling for him' Red closed his eyes savouring the moment
'The reason I left Liz was because she refused to have kids…and here I am with John who can't have kids…'
'No but we could adopt!" Reds unconscious pied up 'he could want kids with us'
'This is too much to take in'
"Red..." John whispered
"Come on John let's get some sleep"
"But ..."
"No butts, you're shattered and we both have a lot to think over" Red relaxed at Johns smile.
"You know you're far more mature that what I had you pegged for" john smiled at reds rumbling chuckle
John carefully detangled himself from red careful to avoid the cats this time.
"get into bed scout" red stretched and striped to his boxers not noticing johns staring at his ass until he turned around "like something scout?" john blushed looking away
"Ermmm red…I'm only wearing my trousers"
"Sooooo" red looked oblivious staring down at the demon
John rubbed the back of his head
"Red I'm not wearing boxers"
"That's alright scout" red winked
"Reddddddd"
"Fine fine" red raised his hands searching for some boxers
"These are the smallest I've got" red handed over the black boxers
"Thanks" john sat down on the bed carefully wiggling of his trousers and pulling the boxers up. He stood to pull them up that extra bit and pulling his tail through the hole that had been purposefully made for red tail.
"Better" john smiled turning round to see red standing in the same place looking him up and down. Noticing his eyes lingered on his hips. John looked down noticing the boxers almost slipped of his hips showing off his hip bones.
John griped the fabric drawing reds eyes up to his face.
Red coughed looking away and getting into bed
John mumbled "pervert". Before shuffling into the bed
The fell asleep almost instantaneously.
John woke up first to find himself wrapped in reds arms, his chest resting on reds chest and his horns tucked nicely under reds chin.
Embarrassed john tried to wriggle out of the iron grip only for those arms to tighten a little more. Putting a small amount of pressure on reds arms he managed to pull free without waking him. Grinning to himself as the peaceful face turned into a slight frown.
'Unconsciously he misses me' John sighed happily 'Man my mind is so confused right now' john crawled out of the bed his boxers slipping slightly, wrapping his tail round them to keep them from dropping. 'A shower sounds so good right now'
Creeping quietly john picked up his trousers and made his way to the shower. Laying his trousers and now shed boxers over the radiator he stepped into the hot sprays of the shower.
The water soothed him and washed off the sickly feeling that the medical equipment had left on his skin.
-Red pov-
Red rolled in his sleep missing the extra warmth that had escaped his grasp
He groaned creaking an eye open to glare at the clock 'its eight am….Johnnn whyyy' grunting red sat up, there was no way he was going to be able to get back to sleep now.
Red groggily stumbled to the shower, the cats darting out his path.
Red pushed the bathroom door open and with greeted with johns naked form in the shower. His eyes gazed up and down fixating on the water as it trickled down john's form, from his horns that dripped water down his shoulder length hair into the dip of his back down onto his arse. Red licked his parched lips as he watched johns tail pick up a bottle of lynx and pour it into his hand. John's hands smoothed over his own skin lathering up the body scrub and washing it off.
John turned around
His eyes locked with reds both going beat red or more purple in reds case
"RED!" john did his best to cover himself wrapping his tail around himself, his hands covering his genitals
Red opened and closed his mouth as if to apologise but turned quickly pumping into the door frame in his haste to get out at being caught.
Red flushed in colour again gaping at the back end of red as he fled.
'Oh my god he's seen me naked... He was staring at me...' john quickly clambered out of the shower drying himself with a towel and pulling on his clothes.
He pulled open the bathroom door to red pacing on himself.
"Red…"
"heyscoutyouwantedatopright….illgofindyouone"
(Hey scout you wanted a top right….I'll go find you one)
Red ran to his cupboard avoiding john's gaze as he rummaged for a suitable top
"Red..." john tried again watching the demon frantically search, it was lucky he was used to Hellboys ramblings and was able to make sense of the mess of words.
"lookscouthowaboutthisone? Ormabythisone? Orthisone?" red chucked top after top at john it was only the john realised he horded clothes. These must have been from when he was a teenager.
John marched forwards standing in front of his face and between red and his wardrobe.
"Red! Stop it"
Red looked up guiltily looking up from the taut stomach to his face as he slowly stood to look down at john
"I'm sorry" red quietly mumbled
"It's okay" amber locked with blue and amber eyes as another staring match commenced, john shuffled forward almost chest to chest.
Reds head tilted down, their lips so close to each other's the clothing forgotten
"So beautiful" john wisped cupping reds face. Red closed his eyes
"I'm not human john"
"Neither am I red…look at me" red opened his eyes to find a small sad smile on john's lips. "I won't leave"
Red sighed in relief, leaned in sealing a small sweet kiss.
John smiled into the kiss tangling his hands in reds hair as red deepened the kiss wrapping his arms around Johns slender waist.
