Full Moon

Chapter Nine :)

For PrettyLittleScars xxxx

No words could fully describe how Ste was feeling and every rational thought went out of his head and instead of giving Brendan an answer, he pulled him close and kissed him. Brendan's lips felt good against his own and it didn't take long for raw passion to take over. Ste's clothes were removed in seconds and Brendan eyes widened as they looked him up and down admiringly. Ste found himself being ushered into the bedroom and thrown on the bed.

He wasn't sure what he was letting himself in for but right now all he wanted to do was be with Brendan and to feel him deep inside of him. Brendan removed his own clothes and joined Ste on the bed where he examined and explored every single part of him. He wanted to give Ste a night to remember, a taster into how amazing their life could be together. Brendan wanted Ste more than anything; he already knew he was the one for him, he just hoped that Ste felt the same. Nothing or everything could change, the decision was all left up to Ste and Brendan wanted him to be sure.

Ste felt secure in his arms and the heat radiating from his body felt like an electric blanket, he thought that it must be a "wolf thing" His eyes became heavy, yet he couldn't sleep, unlike Brendan who was already sleeping soundly. His mind wouldn't shut down and all sorts of thoughts were going around in his head. How would he become a werewolf? What would happen if he wasn't happy? Could he live in a world without his kids? He needed to know everything and now was as good a time as any. He gently kissed Brendan on the lips, in the hope to wake him up, which it did.

"Hey Steven, ye want more already?"

"I need to talk to you."

"Can't ye kiss me instead?"

"No I want to know everything about becoming like you."

"Does that mean ye will?"

"It means that I want to know about it, that's all. I have a lot to think about Brendan."

"Yeah I know but you're thinking about it and that's a start. What do ye want to know?"

"How…how will I become like you?"

"It's really quite simple I could bite you."

"You've already done that."

"Not like that. This will hurt, I will draw blood and I'll be in wolf form, not as I am now."

"How bad will it hurt?"

"It will hurt ye but I'm sure you'll be okay."

"How will we live? Where will we live?"

"Steven don't over think this. We will live as normally as we can."

"Will I age?"

"Yes, ye will physically age, but it will be at a much much slower pace than a human. Ye will age normally in your twenties, but then, the aging process slows down considerably, and ye will maintain a youthful appearance for quite a while. Ye will be slowly aging physically, but it will take an extended period of time for anyone to notice. This is because we have a natural ability to heal faster than humans, and this includes keeping the youthful appearance of skin, muscles, and physique."

"What do we eat?"

"Humans."

"…what?!"

"Steven I'm joking."

"So what do we eat?"

"Burgers, chips…we eat regular food. I might look like a monster in wolf form but I don't act like one…only when I'm provoked."

"I just don't know Brendan."

"What is your heart telling ye to do?"

"My heart is telling me yes, that you are everything that I've wanted for so long. You make me feel adored and I don't want to lose you, but…"

"But what?"

"But my head tells me no. I have my kids to think about in all of this."

"Steven how often will ye see them when they move? How often do ye see them now?"

"I know but to not ever see them; just the thought of it breaks my heart."

"Ye can still see them."

"But when I don't age."

"Ye do age, I've already told ye."

"Maybe I just need some more time."

"Look I feel like I'm trying to talk ye in to it and I don't want that. I want ye to be with me for the rest of our days, I love ye but I won't wait around forever."

"Have you already got a reserve then?"

"I can't believe ye would even say that to me Steven. I don't want to be with anyone else; I thought I made that quite clear."

"What like that guy I found in your bed?"

"I have needs, I am half human after all, but spending a life with anyone but ye is not ever going to happen."

"I need some space, I need to think."

"Don't push me away; I don't want to leave ye."

"Yeah and I don't want to make this decision right now."

"I'm not going anywhere Steven."

"Then I will."

Ste put his clothes on and headed out the front door, Brendan tried to stop him but it was no use, he just needed to be on his own. He had a tough decision to make and with Brendan making it sound like a dream he was pretty swayed and he had to think about everything.

"Steven!" shouted Brendan who was still trying to keep up with him.

Ste stopped and turned around, his attention on Brendan.

"Do ye love me?"

"Yes I do" Replied Ste.

Brendan smiled it was all he needed to hear. Ste hadn't even realized that he was stood in the road.

"Steven watch out!"

But it was too late and the fast approaching van knocked him down. Brendan looked on in horror as the man he loved was lying on the floor.
