This whole plot has taken on a life of its own, and almost nothing has gone the way I had planned. But you know, sometimes I think that's the best way for a story to go.

Chapter Ten: It's Supernatural

Judai was giving him a sad, almost resigned look.

Jesse blinked in confusion. "Well why-"

The eyes.

The way people avoided him.

The way he'd made that pervert leave.

The way he just didn't fit in.

I've never seen anything like him.

Because he's…he's not…

"What?" Jesse breathed.

"It's not the way you're picturing it," Judai said softly, looking away and leaning back into his seat. He brought his legs up, hugging his knees to his chest. Jesse was struck by how young he looked.

"It's not a planet in this solar system- it's an alternate dimension. We call it Neo-Space. I told you that I was adopted; that's true. My parents are big shots in my world, they're like Ambassadors- that's the closest thing I can compare them to. Anyway, there's a law against killing babies in my world- there's no such thing as an abortion. If a mother can't care for her baby then it's her job to find someone who can, and she has the right to leave her baby on the doorstep of any house or business, and by law the person who owns the establishment has to care for the child. That's what my mother did with me.

"I knew from the time I could talk that I wasn't wanted. My 'parents' (you could hear the sarcasm dripping from the word) ignored me. All I had to do was keep from embarrassing them, and as long as I did that it didn't matter how I lived my life. If it hadn't been for Yubel I don't know how I would have turned out. I probably would have killed myself."

Jesse gasped loudly, but Judai pressed on.

"It's true, I hated myself. I had no idea what I'd done that was so bad that they didn't want me, but no matter how hard I tried I could never impress them. Yubel saw how depressed I was, and that's why he asked me to live with him when he moved out.

"The thing about Neo-Space is that it's dying. Not that the people are dying- that's actually one of the problems. It's overcrowded, over farmed and over exhausted. The people in charge- The High Council- have been trying to find a new place for us to live for years. What they do is they send a few of our people to a prospective planet and ask them to report back whether or not it's a good home. Yubel was offered the chance to do it, and he saw it as an opportunity to get us both- but mostly me- out of our parent's shadows. That's how we got here."

Judai paused for a few moments and Jesse tried to process all of this information. It sounded so unrealistic, and yet Jesse found himself believing every word, because nothing else seemed to make sense at the moment.

"What about…your eyes?" He asked timidly.

Judai lifted a hand to his face and smiled. "It's a side effect of my ability to affect people's emotions."

Now this, Jesse had a hard time believing. "You can do what now?"

"If I touch someone- and it has to be skin-to-skin, I can affect what people are feeling. Just now in the club I made that- that…" His jaw twitched.

"Pervert?" Jesse supplied.

"That scumbag," Judai finally spat, "I made him feel tired and relaxed- basically I made him open to any suggestion or order that I would give him. Yubel can read people's minds, but he has to be focused on one person at a time- he can hear twenty different people's thoughts at once."

Jesse barely heard that second part. "You can make people feel things that they don't want to feel?" He yelled.

Judai bit his lip, looking guilty. "I don't use it very often," he whispered.

"Did you ever use it on me?"

"Once,"" Judai admitted. "When we were in the park I… I made you calm down. Only because you were so nervous!" He said quickly, seeing the incredulous look on Jesse's face. "I didn't overdo it, it was just a little push because I thought you were going to faint! But I swear," he turned in his seat and Jesse saw tears glittering in his eyes, "I swear to God Jess, I never made you feel like you loved me. Or wanted me, or anything like that. I would never, ever toy with your emotions like that."

Jesse felt the anger leave him, ashamed that he'd even thought that in the first place. "I know," he whispered. "I know you wouldn't."

"I hated lying to you," Judai confessed and a tear finally fell from his eye. "I wanted to tell you so badly, but I didn't even know how to bring it up! The Council told us before we left that if anyone ever found out what we were then we would have to leave, because humans could never understand. But…even if I had to leave I wanted you to know."

Judai held one hand out hesitantly, and Jesse took it, lacing their fingers together.

"I love you, Jesse. I never lied about that."

Jesse leaned over and wiped the tear off of Judai's face, and Judai pulled him into a tight hug. They stayed like that for a while, and when Judai finally spoke again his voice was thick with unshed tears.

"I'll understand if you want some time to yourself, now."

Jesse pulled back, unsure of what he meant.

"You can call me whenever," Judai said as he unlocked the doors. He was facing forward now, both hands grasping the wheel as though he was afraid that it would run away from him.

It was a clear dismissal, and Jesse slowly got out of the car, but he left the door open.

"What are you going to do?" Jesse asked after a while, and Judai managed to laugh.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything stupid."

Jesse nodded and shut the door.

He stood on the curb and watch Judai drive away.

For a solid ten minutes, Jesse stood in that exact spot, staring confusedly at the corner where Judai's car had disappeared. Finally the haze of confusion broke and he slapped himself in the head

Hard.

"DAMN IT, JESSE ANDERSON," He yelled. "YOU ARE A COMPLETE MORON!"

And he took off running.

Jesse is sweating by the time he gets there. His lungs are on fire and he has massive cramps in his sides and legs, but he doesn't stop to catch his breath, instead he runs right up to the front door; It's unlocked and he throws it open, barely remembering to close it again. He sprints past the yelping ball of brown fuzz and up the staircase, finally making it to the door at the end of the hall and flinging it open.

Now, standing in the doorway of Judai's room, he finally stops, taking in the sight of his boyfriend lying on top of the bed, legs stretched out in front of him and one hand reaching towards the lamp on his right, as though he'd been about to turn it on.

"Jesse?" He gasps. "What are you doing here?"

But Jesse doesn't hear him. He leaps on to Judai's bed, planting his knees on either side of Judai's hips and his hands on his shoulders, effectively pinning him to the mattress.

"Judai Yuki, you are an idiot!" He yells.

Judai blinks up at him. "What?"

Jesse claps a hand over his mouth. "No, don't interrupt me! What the hell was that just now? How could you just drive off like that and leave me standing there? Do you have any idea what was going through my head?"

Judai is trying to say something, but Jesse keeps his hand where it is.

"I swear, I've never wanted to hit someone so much in my entire life! You are such an idiot! You're almost- ALMOST- as bad as I am, and I am so concerned for our kids right now because as it stands they have dimwitted idiots as parents!"

He watches Judai's eyes widen as he process what Jesse is saying. Jesse really can't breathe now and he finally pulls his hand off of Judai's mouth.

"Now you can talk," Jesse gasps. But before Judai can even open his mouth, Jesse grabs him by the shoulders and hauls him up right, crushing their mouths together.

Judai is so shocked he can't even respond at first, and Jesse bites him until finally Judai's lips part. Jesse runs his tongue over every inch of Judai's mouth until neither one of them can breathe and then he pulls away, giving Judai a hard look.

"I love you," Jesse tells him. "Didn't I say that already? Haven't I said it at least once a day since that day that I said it the first time? Didn't I say- just three hours ago- that I would love you even if you were a vampire because nothing could change that way I feel about you? WEREN'T YOU LISTENING?"

He's crying now-actually they're both crying. But Jesse is crying because he's frustrated and exasperated, and Judai is crying because he's so happy.

"I know," Judai says with a grin. "I heard you." He kisses Jesse's cheek, neck, jaw- any place he can reach. "I love you too."

"Then show me," Jesse growls, undoing the buttons on Judai's shirt and rolling them over so that Judai is on top of him. Judai leans down, pressing a firm kiss to Jesse's lips.

Jesse knows that this time, Judai won't pull away, or ask him if they've gone too far. This time things will be different, and Jesse is okay with that, because this time he's not going to freak out when Judai touches him, or when he feels something stronger than he's ever felt before.

Judai is gentle in everything that he does; his touches, his kisses, and Jesse doesn't ever feel afraid or uncomfortable. It hurts at first, but that goes away soon. They say "I love you" a hundred times, maybe more, and they mean it whole heartedly each time. And when Jesse wakes up the next morning cradled in Judai's arms, he knows that this is how he wants to wake up every morning for the rest of his life.

"Don't ever walk away from me again," Jesse mumbles, his voice muffled by sleep and the shirt that Judai pulled on again at some point.

'That's going to have to come off soon,' he thinks to himself with a smirk.

Judai kisses his forehead. "I won't."

"Good, because if you do, then I really will hit you."

Yep. This is how the two biggest idiots in the world swear their eternal love to each other.

It's perfect.

The End.

Ah, so bitter sweet.

Actually not really. This has been a long time coming and while I'm kind of sad to see it end, I'm also relieved. This was one of my more difficult fictions to write, and I'm glad with the way it turned out.

The sequal WAS going to be chaptered, but I realized that it would be pretty much the same except for the way it was narrated, so it will most likely be a one shot.

A veeeeeeeerry looooooooooooooong one shot. So don't expect it any time soon- I've got finals to study for, ya know!

Okay, possibly a two-shot. WE WILL SEE! ;)

So, once again I ask you to leave a review (gosh I can't belive how many people have actually read, reviewed and LIKED this basket of fail) and I'll see you in Star-Crossed!
