Sorry for the long wait, unfortunately my laptop was broken so i couldn't type so to make up for it iv written a longer chapter hope you enjoy.
In no time they found themselves outside, clearly after all the arguments of red braking out he'd learnt to be subtle about escaping. Finding the willow tree had taken a bit more effort fighting through a bush to get to it.
"So what now?"
"Each put one of your hands on my shoulder and no matter what don't let go" Both Abe and red placed a hand on opposite shoulders. Red nodded and John began he raised his hand to the bark of the tree, the markings on his skin began to glow and as if the energy was being passed into the tree its bark began to glow and then paled away like a curtain enveloping them and drawing them in.
They landed heavily the other side surrounded by trees.
"That was truly amazing" Abe steadied himself and began examining the tree with earnest
John chuckled "come on Abe you're going to miss the best bit"
Abe hung around another second longer before catching up with the duo, walking through the forest to two huge silver gates almost a Celtic style, again John placed his hand upon it and it parted wide enough to let them through.
The market was large you couldn't see the end of it, so many demons hurried around chatting animatedly, Abe's head was twisting around so fast to catch glimpses at each demon that John thought head get whip lash. Squeezing past demons they made their way past all the stalls until they reached a tall rectangular iron water feature.
"What is the point of the random fountain?"
"It's not a fountain" John smiled, the fountain glowed purple a small compartment emerged out of the metal and floated into John's hand. "It works as a cash machine, it senses who you are and then accesses you're funds, my parents set one up for me before they died."
John pocketed the box as red soothingly rubbed John's back soothingly. Abe gave him a sad smile before memorising the fountain as it stopped glowing purple and returned to normal.
"So are you going round with us or should we meet you back at the gate?" John leaned into Hellboy.
"I will meet you back at the entrance I would like to explore a bit"
"Well here then" John pulled out the box and handed him a handful of almond shaped coins.
"No, no I couldn't"
"No I insist! You might be able to get samples or a few trinkets" John grinned forcing them into Abe's hand. Meet back in two hours that okay?"
I'll see you then"
- - -Red and John - - -
"I'm not too sure where about the stall is, they always move round, were looking for a bright yellow stall" bright blue eyes scanned the area.
Using his height to his advantage Hellboy straightened up looking over the other demons heads and sure enough red spotted the garish looking thing a few stalls down. "Hold onto my tail I'm going to push through" John held on firmly to the Red's appendage as he quickly followed, hearing some of the other demons complain or yelp in surprise.
"AH there you are lovely, you are quite late I had to keep this reserved and everything!" the large almost hippo like woman behind the counter bobbed along taking a bag from behind the counter huffing.
"Evening Millie" John smiled at the plump woman "But no it's not the usual today"
Millie eyed him before looking at John's hand connected to the Red tail, her eyes trailed over Red scrutinising him before her face beamed.
"Aren't you two adorable? I thought you'd never take a mate, why isn't he tall!" Millie talked so fast it was like being shouted at where you could only hear some of the words.
"Well that's what we've come to see you about" John fidgeted as the woman gushed at them. "We'd like herbs to induce the heat" John nibbled his lip and played with Red's tail drawing swirls on it.
"O dearie!" she grinned and rushed around her stall collecting the ingredients.
"You might want to stop; unless you want me to take you right here" whispering quietly enough for only John to hear, Red wiggled his tail ;only to have john release it just as quick. Red chuckled turning his attention back to the bustling woman who had finally gotten all the herbs she needed.
"There we go lovely, all sorted; mix each together as a tea and take it once in the morning and again before you go to bed"
"Thank you so much Millie" Red took the bag as John paid her
"Good luck boys"
"So where to next?"
"Well I saw a stall coming in you're going to love"
John dragged him to a candy store the front window filled with baby Ruth's. The look on Red's face was priceless; he looked like head been slapped on the face before he began to drool.
"Can we have two bags of those" John handed over the money and the tall scaly assistant packed two large bags handing them to one red grinning demon. Happily munching on his treats they set out back to the entrance to meet Abe.
They had almost made it back before John noticed shadows moving behind them, John ducked avoiding the initial blow; Whirling around to confront his attacker.
"Amung Rah, what a surprise to find you here" the demon grinned its translucent skin pulsed and smoke seeped from its hands, as two lackeys appeared behind him. Spotting the bite mark on John's neck the demons grin widened exposing his sharp fangs. "And taken a mate I see"
"Look ugly, I'm not sure what I did to piss you off; but how about you run along" Red subconsciously took a step in front of John to protect him.
"You killed a friend of ours!"
"Sorry ugly ...I don't remember fighting one of you're kind"
"It doesn't matter what you remember demon! I will return you to hell where you belong!"
Hidden behind red, John reacted as the demon drew its blade, dropping his bags he moving lightning fast grabbing the demons arm and booting him in the face sending him into a nearby stall. John twisted avoiding another blow from the demon to his left, kneeing him in the gut and elbowing the other in the face before he tasted dirt. In a matter of seconds he was back at Red's side with bags in hand.
"Damn!" Abe stood behind a gaping Red.
"Save it lets move" they noticed the pulsing demon growl and begin to stand.
"Good idea! Red sprinted followed by Abe, rushing through the huge door and into the forest
"Hurry up red" John sprinted ahead.
"Hurry up?!... Hurry up he says, remember when I used to say that to him" Red grumbled, his boots left firm imprints in the earth as he pelted across the forest.
"Did you say something Red?" he twisted checking to see where red was and could see people following in the distance.
"Course not scout" Red smiled taking hold of Abe as John placed his hands on the tree that they had come through. In their haste they through themselves through the portal landing in a heap on the other side on the all too familiar grounds of the BPRD the portal closed and the shouts of the demons in the distance could no longer be heard.
"Urghhhhh" Red's grunt the only sound that could be heard as he rolled off Abe and john to find himself face to face with the barrel of a gun.
Past the FBI agent with the gun stood manning, his face so red it put Hellboy to shame.
Red grinned awkwardly "Hey Manning"
- - - Shortly after Manning's full on PMS attack - - -
Abe found himself back in his tank, surrounded by guards. It had been three hours of manning screaming about policies and exposure before he listened to their story then more ranting about how he should have been informed before he placed them under house arrest. He was sure Manning only left to check on his ever rising blood pressure. He watched as John and Red were escorted to their room before he swam into his private quarters where he couldn't be seen.
Pulling out a piece of Celtic metal no larger than a ten pence piece he rubbed his thumb over the surface, the coin lit up projecting an image around it.
"Good afternoon Abe" A dark skinned demon came into view looking similar to Abe, his violet eyes held warmth.
"Evening Zack" Abe blushed his gills taking on a slight pink hue.
"In your rush to get back to your friends, I forgot to give you the book you bought" the dark skinned sapian smiled.
"Well at the moment I'm under quarantine, why don't you read it to me instead?"
"You like my voice that much Hu?" he grinned
Abe blushed again left speechless, Zack grinned and began reading.
- - - Reds room - - -
The deadbolts sounded there entrapment within the room.
"Baby ruth?" John rolled his eyes but smiled
"Don't mind if I do" munching on the chocolate goodie he turned the kettle on dodging the multiple cats that swarmed around his feet.
Separating the ingrediance from the bag he sorted out a tea spoon of each ingrediance into the hug, pouring the boiling water in and mixing thoroughly.
"Are you sure about this?" Red wrapped his arms around his mate resting his head on Johns shoulder.
"Yes red I want this" turning in the embrace he gave his mate a sincere kiss
"How long will it be before it takes effect?"
"An hour or two, you'll see it starting to work" sipping on the mug of tea he grimaced at the biting bitter taste and decided to down it.
"Come on then lets relax a bit first" turning on the TV they cuddled together, channel flicking before landing on thunder cats.
Red noticed the tea working before John even felt it take affect the blue markings on John's skin darkened to a deep purple and his skin felt like fire. Red ran his tail up and down John's back trying to soothe him, occasionally letting out a soothing rumble from his lips.
It was an hour later before John felt the first effects of the tea, the burning in the pit of his stomach that seemed to run through his veins, his teeth ached as his canines lengthened. "Umpf" John squirmed "Hellboy, I'm burning up, I'm going to cool down in the shower" standing his legs felt weak.
"Come on ill help you" wrapping his arm around John's waist he escorted him into the shower. Letting him lean against the cool tiles while he turned the shower on cold. John pulled his stop off careful of his horns and leaned back into the cold wall groaning at the contact, a shiver running pleasurably down his spine.
The tiles began to heat up from his skin and suddenly the cold of the tiles weren't enough; moving under the cold spray letting the ice seep into his skin, groaning he closed his eyes feeling red press up against him in the shower still fully clothed.
"God you smell amazing" Red's voice came over husky; his demonic urges trying to surface nuzzling John's neck to take in more of his scent, teasing the bite mark he moaned and the scent intensified.
"Let's get you out of those" red hands slid down John's sides and over his stomach to the zip of his pants; pulling the material down inch by inch, the sodden material sticking to his sweltering skin. Chucking the pants away Red pressed his clothed body hard against John trapping him up against the tiled wall.
"You smell so good" Red's voice rumbled almost purred.
"I'm in full heat Red, I need you" he panted sliding his hands up inside the sodden t-shirt caressing the bulging muscles he found and rolled the top up encouraging red to lift his arms to pull It off and discard the material. John ran his hands back down his chest. He found his wrists quickly pinned to the wall by Red's stone hand while the other tangled itself in his hair. Red's lips descended on his demanding and passionate, forcing entrance there tongs connected making John purr pushing his body forward into red only to be pushed back into the tiles.
"Mine" red growled into his neck, receiving a whimper of "yours" john exposed his neck for him and reds growl turned into a purr of approval. Turning the shower off he picked john up, John wrapped his legs around Red's waist; throwing him onto the bed with a slight bounce Red striped his leather pants, his eyes gazing over John's naked form, his scent was over powering, kneeling over him red ran his hands over John's stomach and over his thighs his stone hand massaging johns ass.
"Please, no teasing….I can't…too much"
"Hold on Scout" Red's human hand reached underneath to John's entrance gently inserting a finger before adding another. Scissoring his fingers to find that magical spot; massaging it, John arched and wrapped his legs around Red for the second time that night. Red pulled his fingers out, reaching for John's member giving a few gentle strokes before he lined his cock up with John's entrance. He had to hold back from thrusting in hard and fast as the tight heat swallowed his aching cock. His will was broken when John's hips snapped forward engulfing the rest of him. Red's thrusts came hard and fast his hips colliding with Johns.
John's hands braced against the metal bed frame his mouth open in a silent scream as the heat in his stomach built until he couldn't withstand it anymore, his muscles clenching as his prostate was repeatedly struck. They both came hard, Red biting into John's neck over his previous mating mark.
Red stayed where he was refusing to pull out of John's body instead rolling onto his side pulling his mate with him, they both fell into a peaceful sleep Red still sheathed inside John.
