Jack fell back on his bed staring at his ceiling angrily. It had been three days since the incident with Norm. The albino played with his hair, still wet from his shower. He was hurting, and hurting bad.

"Stupid Chase… Stupid Norm… Stupid me… I should have known better… After what happened a year ago with Chase, I promised myself I wouldn't love anyone. I didn't want to be hurt… I really should learn…" He sighed.

"But, you fell in love anyway."

Jack bolted upright and glared at the wall. "What do you want?" He growled. "I set you free, so why are you here?" There was hurt in his voice.

Norm walked over to Jack and sighed. "Look, I came to tell you that…"

The red head stood and glared at Norm. "What? That you're sorry? That you were wrong?" He sneered.

The genie visibly flinched at the hostility Jack was displaying. He returned the glare. "Why should I say I'm sorry? I wasn't in the wrong! I had every right to say what I did!"

Jack felt his skin prickle in anger. Did Norm come back just to hurt him even more? Jack shoved Norm roughly. "Go away! I thought I told you to leave me alone!"

Norm took a step back to stop himself from falling. "As I recall, you are no longer my master! You set me free so I don't have to listen to you!"

Jack glowered. "The only reason I haven't activated my robots is because I considered you to be a friend. Answer my question; why did you come back?"

The genie merely shrugged. "I don't know. I felt like it."

"You bastard! Why couldn't you just leave me alone?!" Jack shouted and raised his hand to strike Norm.

Norm grabbed Jack's arms and pushed him against the wall, pinning the boy's arms above his head. "Don't hit me again." He tightened his grip and Jack winced, tears in his eyes.

"Why are you here? Why would you come back?" Jack pleaded for an answer.

"I went to see Chase… And he told me that he was trying to ruin our friendship because he was jealous. But he said he was only interested because he couldn't have you…" Norm explained.

Jack trembled and the tears streamed down his cheeks. "Is that the only reason you came back? Just to tell me that?"

Norm smiled at the boy. "No. I came back to apologize. I'm sorry I listened to him. And, as far as I'm concerned, I still owe you a wish."

The albino laughed through his crying. "I don't want it. That's why I never made any other wishes. I didn't want them. I intended to free you but, I thought you might leave me so…"

"Jack," Norm said firmly, giving Jack a serious look. "Do you really think I'd come back for just anyone? You are the closest thing to a real friend I've ever had, and I nearly lost you. I'm not going to make the same mistake twice. I came back because I…"

Jack smiled. "Norm…"

The genie loosened his hold on Jack's wrists and looked up. "Yeah?"

"Me too. That's why it hurt so much when you said you didn't trust me." Jack glanced at where he had hit Norm a few days before and noticed that it was still red. He leaned forward and kissed Norm's cheek.

Norm blinked in confusion.

Jack smiled. "I'm sorry… I shouldn't have hit you…"

The genie chuckled. "Hey, I deserved it." Norm released Jack's arms and kissed him softly.

Jack returned the kiss, wrapping his arms around Norm's neck, pulling the genie closer. "Norm? Does this mean you want to be with me?"

Norm nodded and held the boy tightly. "Yes. I was an idiot not to realize it before. So, from now on, you're mine. No one else can have you. You'll be mine, and only mine. And I'm yours." He replied, kissing Jack's forehead. He lifted Jack and carried him to the bed, lying beside the albino. He ran a hand through Jack's hair. "Your hair's wet." He observed.

Jack looked at him blankly. "No duh. I just got out of the shower, smart one." He said sardonically.

Norm laid his head back and sighed. "I'm bored…"

"What do you want to do?" Jack asked innocently. He gave a startled yelp when Norm sat up suddenly and pulled the mechanic under him.

"Funny you should ask, Red…" Norm growled seductively. He kissed Jack passionately, silencing any protest the boy might make.

Jack ran his hands through Norm's hair, deepening the kiss. Protest? Please.

Norm pulled away and allowed Jack to sit up. "Are you okay with this? I won't force you to do anything you don't want to…"

The red head frowned. "Who said I didn't want to?" He said, pulling Norm to him again. "I want to, Norm. It's okay." He kissed the genie again to reassure him.

The genie smirked and started kissing Jack's neck. Norm judged the neck to be a major hot spot for Jack when the boy moaned softly. Norm trailed his fingers along Jack's scar, the anger and hatred he felt for Chase slowly ebbing away. He still hated Chase, but that wasn't going to ruin the happiness in Norm's heart anymore. All the doubt he had felt towards Jack had melted. And that doubt was replaced by want. Norm wanted Jack; he wanted every part of the boy. No, he didn't want Jack… He needed Jack.

Jack moved his hands to unbutton Norm's vest, growing very annoyed with the fact that the clothing restricted the red head from touching his genie's skin.

Norm laughed inwardly at the obvious annoyance Jack was feeling. Norm could have easily removed his clothes and the only clothing Jack was wearing, which was boxers, with a snap of his fingers. The only thing preventing Norm form doing so was how good Jack's hands felt on him.

After Jack had successfully removed his vest, Norm placed a hand on Jack's chest and gently pushed him down, kissing him as he did so. He kissed down Jack's neck and collar bone, nipping at the boy's pale skin gently. Norm trailed a hand down Jack's chest to the albino's waistline.

Jack moaned and arched against the touch. He wanted more. He needed more. He needed Norm more than anything. He loved Norm. And the genie was proving his feelings for his former master.

Norm slid a hand into Jack's boxers and stroked the soft flesh the clothing concealed. He heard Jack moan and looked at the boy. Those ruby eyes were clouded with need and the boy whimpered Norm's name. Norm kissed him again, completely removing the boxers. The genie felt like fainting. The boy's body was beautiful. Far more beautiful than any female body he'd ever seen.

Jack placed a hand on Norm's soft chest and pushed him back slightly. He blushed darkly, trying to find himself with his hands.

Norm grabbed Jack's arms and pulled Jack to him. "Oh, no you don't. I'm not letting you stop me from looking at you." He smirked.

The albino blushed again and tackled Norm, straddling him. He smiled down at Norm. "Listen… I'm really sorry about what happened. I never wanted to use you. Not even once. Norm, I've only known you for a mere two weeks, but it seems I've known you forever. You're my best friend and you mean a lot to me."

The genie's heart felt like it would burst with happiness at Jack's words. He pulled Jack into a warm hug. "I'm sorry for saying all of those horrible things to you. It was uncalled for. I knew that Elf-Boy was wrong. I should have listened to my heart. It knew how wrong he was. How wrong I was…" He kissed Jack again. Norm flipped Jack under him and removed what remained of his own clothing.

Jack wrapped his arms around Norm's neck. "None of that matters anymore. Who cares if Chase drops off the face of the universe? Not me, that's for sure." He smiled as Norm nodded in agreement.

Norm lifted Jack's hips and gently slid into him. Jack's grip tightened around Norm's shoulders and he moaned softly. The genie caught Jack's mouth in a passionate kiss. The mechanic shifted slightly, enticing Norm to move.

"If it hurts, let me know. I'll stop if it—" Norm was cut off by a slightly annoyed kiss from Jack. It was one of those 'shut-up-and-get-on-with-it' things. Slowly, Norm began to thrust into Jack.

Jack moaned and wrapped his legs around Norm's waist, allowing the genie to have better access. It did hurt, but he didn't say anything because he didn't want Norm to stop. It really made no difference; it wouldn't hurt the whole time anyway.

Norm kissed and traced ever inch of Jack's body that was within reach. He had such soft skin… He felt Jack's hands roam over his back and the genie shivered. It wasn't because he disliked it, oh no. That was far from the case. He moved a bit faster in reaction, hearing the albino moan his name.

The pain started to vanish. Jack was more than happy that it was gone and replaced with complete bliss. He smiled against Norm's neck and kissed it. A sudden spike in pleasure caused Jack to cry out.

The genie smiled; he knew what that sound meant. He felt it too. They were both close to their finish. Jack held Norm tightly for support. Norm snaked an arm around Jack's waist and held him just as tightly.

Just as he hit his climax, Jack kissed Norm fiercely. Norm moaned into the kiss, his own climax causing his body to shake. He leaned his head against Jack's chest, trying to catch his breath. Norm lifted himself off of Jack and collapsed beside his lover. Jack rolled over and cuddled up against Norm, nuzzling the genie's chest.

Jack suddenly grabbed Norm's left arm and pulled off the bangles that encircled it.

Norm was startled by the sudden action and blinked in confusion at Jack. "What?"

"Your tattoo. It's different now. Look," Jack replied, showing Norm the mark.

The genie was stunned. It was different. The number was no longer a three. It looked like a sideways eight. "What is this? An eight?"

Jack laughed. "No. It represents 'infinity'. It means unlimited. I remember now. Back when we first met, you told me that I could have unlimited wishes, but I had to earn that right. You never said how."

"That's because I didn't know how…" Norm replied sheepishly. He hugged Jack. "I guess you earned it, huh?"

"I don't want the wishes," Jack stated simply.

Norm frowned, and then smiled warmly at Jack. "I don't care if you want them or not. You earned it. You'll get whatever you wish for. I'll grant you any wish you want. Not because you're my former master or anything. I'll give you anything you want for this one reason: because I love you."

Jack started crying. Not because he was sad, but because he was happy. He kissed Norm. "I love you, too."

Norm kissed the tears away. "And I'm not going anywhere."
