**Chapter 9: Kids**

*Edilio* wanted to stay at a place on the edge of town, so they could escape quickly if necessary.

They walked back through PB, avoiding the plaza. They walked to the block where Astrid's house used to be. The rain cloud was still_* there and water was still being collected. There was an abandoned house on the opposite side of the road and they broke into it via a window around the back.

Edilio got out a fish he'd stored in a cooler in the backpack, it wasn't in it's best condition but it was food. Edilio also got out a pot of Nutella he had salvaged from the the train. Roger gawked at that.

They ate half the fish and the entire pot off Nutella. More energy to burn tonight, thought Edilio with a smirk.

' We have to have a serious discussion.' said Edilio. Roger pouted joking. ' I have to tell you that work comes before our relationship.' Roger pouted honestly.

' But today-' Roger started

' Was and will be great. But no more.' Edilio finished sadly.' I have people to look after. What would happen if Drake came back? Or if Caine attacked? Or any other number of scenarios occurred? I love you, but I can't put one person in front of one hundred.' Edilio stated with melancholy.

Roger stared at him with understanding. But he still didn't want it. He wanted to be with Edilio without any interruptions. He wanted to embrace Edilio through the night. And they couldn't even do that in public.

' I know you don't want to be public, and I know why. But is it really necessary. Prejudice isn't that strong anymore, ever since Zil. Would it really be that much of a bad thing?' Roger insisted.

Edilio looked away. Roger didn't understand.

Edilio tried to hide his tears that were building up in his eyes but Roger knew how sensitive he was.

'I'm sorry 'Dilio. I didn't mean to upset you.' Roger said. Edilio turned to face Roger and Roger saw the full extent of the tears streaming down his face.

' I just don't want to be like I am. I want to walk down the street with a girl in my arm. I want to hold her at night. I want kids.' realisation dawned in Roger's face. Roger put his arms around Edilio.

' You now, we might not be able to have kids,' whispered Roger.' but we can always do some practicing.' Edilio shrugged Roger away angrily.

' Why does everything always revolve around sexual activities with you.' Asked Edilio refusing the offer.

' I'm sorry, I just thought... That you were in the mood.' said Roger disappointed.

' Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you, babe.' apologised Edilio. Roger smiled meekly.

' I don't like fighting.' said Roger.

' Me neither.' said Edilio. ' I want to see yours.'Roger looked up, surprised.

' Really?' He said with enthusiasm.

' Really.' clarified Edilio. Roger kissed Edilio suddenly. And Edilio pushed at Roger's chest, pushing his back on the ground. Edilio got on Roger and Roger wrapped his arms around Edilio's back. Edilio smiled as they kissed.

Edilio undid Roger's shirt for the second time in 24 hours. They kissed passionately and Edilio slid his hand down Roger's front. Edilio's hand applied pressure on Roger's bulge and Roger moaned.

Edilio, stuck for ideas, moved his head down Roger's chest, leaving a trail of kisses. When Edilio got to Roger's trousers. Edilio undid them and slid them off.

Then Edilio entered one of his hands into Roger's boxers via the hole for the leg. Edilio did the same with his other hand via the other hole for his leg.

The bulge had grown in size and Edilio found that his mouth was watering.

Edilio gripped the boxers and dragged them down gently so that he could see the dark hair showing out of the end of Roger's boxers. Edilio wimped and pulled it down all the way. Edilio gasped and got on Roger again and kissed him senseless.

'Thank you.' whispered Edilio, unable to talk. Roger was amused.

'For what?'

'Being on my life.' Then Edilio slid down Roger's body and held Roger's cock.

' What do I do?' asked Edilio examining the penis. He pulled that foreskin back and Roger took a sharp intake of breath. Edilio let go and said.' Sorry.'

' It's fine, actually it's great.' Roger seemed to be deep in thought in an expression that Edilio loved. He used that expression when he painted. Then Roger smiled. ' Will you do anything fo_r me, 'Dilio?' He asked. Edilio nodded without thinking twice. ' Will you be my *slave*?' Edilio wondered what that meant, but Edilio trusted Roger, so he nodded. Roger grinned. ' This'll be fun. Take your clothes off. Slowly.' Just then Edilio realised what he was in for and grinned.
