Chapter 11 – You Assumed So

Visions I've been dreaming are coming down

They're changing my future

Visions I had buried underground

Returning to abuse us

Crush by Pendulum

The fifth shot few down the aches of field Chris owned as Piers hit another target plate right in the center. "Two weeks of this and you still never miss your target, that's one hell of an eye kid." Speaking into the walkie-talkie they brought as a joke but came in handy so Chris could stay close to the targets to change the plates. "…But I'm starting to run out of plates over here."

"What no more Elvis Presley albums for me to shot?" He could almost see the smile on his face on the back porch of the house his rifle hanging on the fence that made the property line.

"Hey, you know those albums are a piece of work bastard." Playfully growling over the talkie hearing Piers chuckle a little.

"Yea and you know I don't care."

"You know what! Speaking to me like that just earned you bread and water today I don't care if you starve." Chris couldn't help but smile when he and Piers joked like this. After that day Piers broke down in the parking lot he really started warming up to him in more ways than a captain and subordinate. Like when they watched old horror movies they would laugh at them and the lack of realistic situations and talked about personal issued Pier went into how he was brought to follow his father footsteps till Chris asked him to join the B.S.A.A. but when Chris tried talking to him about his parents he felt to uneasy and was glad Piers was so understanding about giving him time to open that subject.

"Sure Chris if you say so."

"Alright then let's finish up all this food threating is making me hungry." Making his way back to the back entrance to his house, "Any choices today?"

"Yea Tuesday steak day… I think we ran out of A1 steak sauce" he complained.

"I have like two different brand of sauce you can pick from."

"No way, Heinz sauce ruins the steak."

Chris finally made it up to the fence line where Piers was now cleaning his gun, "Fine princess lets go to the store for you sauce" finishing with a wink.

"Princess?" glaring at the older man, "I'm no princess senile old man."

"Okay truce" laughing at Piers adorable scowl, "I'll be in the car hurry up and put that up."

"Yes sir"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The ride to the store was a short 10 minute to a local Wal-Mart. "Why are we here? It's not like we need a lot of stuff." Chris didn't reply as his mind was somewhere else and his body was on auto pilot and Piers could tell something was wrong. "Chris?"

He hummed to show he was paying at less a little attention which kind of annoyed Piers to no end, wanting Chris' full attention. "Just going to grab some extra stuff so we don't have to come back out, that's all."

"Fine" They grab a cart letting Piers push like always making their way to the dressing lane.

"Grab two so we don't have to get that for a while." Chris ordered

Piers rolled his eyes but had his back turned so Chris didn't see. "You act like I put this on everything I eat."

"The hell you don't."

"Stop over exaggerating I only use it when we have steak… and sometimes burgers." The older man shook with laugher while Piers tried to fight his smile. He couldn't understand why he felt so comfortable with Chris his ex-captain, the man he held in the highest regards. Chris made him feel comfort, like a safe harbor his family uses to give him when he was younger but after his two brothers left the house for the air force leaving Piers with his parents and little sister. His father took Piers under his wing to turn him into a perfect soldier giving him his abilities like being able to lock away emotions, but when he was with Chris all that practice was wasted. He didn't try to fight it or find out why because it felt nice to not have to pretend and say what he really felt and that's what Chris asked for, for him to be himself when they were together.

Piers didn't take notice of two young women giggling and staring at them until Chris stop to stare blankly at them with a confused gaze, but after both men looked at the women they flushed and retreated. "What was that about?" Piers asked

"No idea"

They walked down the lanes picking up whatever Piers throw in the basket, when he stops them at the candy shelf. "Fan of candy?" Chris questioned

"I use to be when I was younger but I stop buying them for myself since Liz loved them so much I used my allowance to buy her some," shrugging.

"Your sister Elizabeth right"

"Yea" he felt a little happy knowing Chris paid attention to all the little stuff he told him no matter what it was but it still bothered him that Chris wouldn't share all of his past and he really wanted to know everything about his hero and captain as weird as it sounds.

The smile the older man made always made Piers want to shiver and hide. "That's really sweet of you…but I think that might be because you had too much candy."

"Bite me," he retorted with a small laugh.

Friendly banter was made while they walked, when their shoulders would bump Piers could feel his arm wanting to spark a fire right there but instead he flushed red under his tan-like skin making Chris grin to himself. "You do that a lot now."

"Do what?" Piers asked tilting his head with a puzzled look.

"Blush"

"I didn't notice sorry," looking down like he did something he wasn't sure was right.

"What are you apologizing for? It looks good on you." Both man face distorted in shock. Chris because he couldn't believe he just said that out loud and Piers because he really didn't think Chris found him 'good-looking' so they both stare at each other until Piers felt his lungs burn from lack of oxygen forcing him to breathe heavily blinking.

"Guess we can checkout now." Chris said still sounding a little mortified at his outburst.

The make it to an empty check-out with a teenage girl behind it she wave them over seeing she was bored out of her mind. "Good evening how are you this evening," smiling at them.

"Good thanks" Chris gave her is every day normal smile. Piers couldn't explain why he loved that Chris never gave him a half smile he did to the strangers they met over the past two weeks.

The teenager looked up from scanning looking at them; they followed her gaze to see their sides flush against each other. Piers could feel the heat turn up in his face has he steps back giving both men much needed space. "Sorry" Piers said

The teenager who tag read Lily giggled and shook hand dismissively, "No I'm sorry for staring, and I'm not uncomfortable with you touching your boyfriend I think it's cute." She smiled warmly, but it didn't stop his face from turning up the heat more.

"What… I'm not…ah- it's not…" shutting himself up. This whole evening was turning into a big embarrassment for the young ace, but luckily Chris big coughing laughed turned her attention to him.

"It's not like that, trust me." Wiping a tear from laughing out of his face, Piers felt a ping of relief and a bite of hurt. 'So I guess I'm not that attractive.'

"Oh! Sorry I just… nothing forget I said anything!" she looked down from Chris' amused and wishful gaze one that confused her a little.

"It okay easy mistake."

She nodded ringing at the items but there was tension there from Piers Chris was ignorant of and the ace pushed what the girl and Chris said out of his head. "Your total sir is 67 dollars and 79 cents." He swiped card while Piers pushed the cart outside heading to the car waiting. What the teenager said resurfaced but instead of pushing it back it led his thoughts to actual dating again not that he did it a lot.

In high school there wasn't a single girl who would deny he was hot not that Piers was some self-absorbed ass hole who constantly reminded himself of that. So many trying to woo him but none of them were really interesting, Elena was nice and wasn't too clingy. They made out had sex the whole ten yards but when she told him she loved him, he couldn't say it back but instead of being hurt like a normal teenage girl she said she understood why he couldn't say it and would wait but that day never came. So love was something he didn't deem a must have as long as he had his family.

Piers could feel it would be hard to just up and leave Chris when he was stable enough to find a job and move back to his mothers'. He much rather go back to the B.S.A.A. but they give him his purple heart and sent him on his way. He would have pressed the matter but he didn't see why he should stay Chris wasn't going back to the B.S.A.A. and he still hated the idea of anyone but him being his captain or himself replacing Chris.

So he'd try to settle into a normal life… not one of a wife and children maybe but still normal enough to not be a burden on his captain even if Chris won't say it he felt sooner than later his time at his house should be over.

"Lets go kid" Chris said.

The ride home was unnaturally silent if Chris knew something was wrong he never pushed Piers into talking until they got all the food inside where they should be. "You okay over there?" he turned looking into Chris deep brown concerned eyes.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Piers questioned

"Maybe because you haven't said a word since the store… look if it bothers you-"

"That's not what I was thinking about I'm over that." The ace took in Chris confused gaze, "I was just thinking about when I actual have to go home and find a stable job."

"Oh" the sadness in Chris' eyes set a cutting feeling in him.

"I mean I can't stay here forever as much as I wouldn't mind and we both need jobs."

"You wouldn't mind staying here…with me I mean?" His voice half shocked half happy.

"I don't see why not…I'm kind of happy here." he didn't know what he was saying but it felt right saying it and being here.

"Then stay…" Chris voice was so soft and smooth Piers could feel the blood rushing everywhere even places they shouldn't. "Find a job here I don't care but stay please."

"Wouldn't that be a bad idea?" still locking eyes with his captain, when Chris moves forward into the aces' personal space close enough he could smell the cigarettes, aftershave and the mint like scent from his breathe. "Says who?"

At that second Piers felt like pressing against the man in front him and his other self was telling him to back up, but he just stayed there staring at this man he found oddly striking and that scared him to no end.

'When did I starting thinking my captain was hot?'

Sure he thought Chris was anything but okay he was muscled up like the god of war Ares with a killer smile he couldn't seem to shake and those chocolate eyes so much more deep then Elena's.

"Piers?" Chris voice was like poison in Piers' ears something was happening to him and it was throwing him into a loop. He knew what was coming back he couldn't find the strength to move so they just stood in the kitchen threshold. "Can I tell you something…you might not like it but I have to." Piers nodded since that's all his body would allow. "I always had this crush on you… since I meet you. You're in my dreams, my nightmares, thoughts, and now my life. I want to hold on to that piece even if you don't feel that way…I want you to know where I stand." The older man stole a shaky breathe right into the ace face moving his hand to stroke his cheek.

That one move set Piers nerves on fire after hearing his captain confess he had feeling for him and that it was up to him to accept them or forget them. The part of his brain that said to walk away was overpowered by the yearning to crush his lips to Chris' so that's what he did.

Chris huffs when Piers' hands fist his shirt pushing them both fully into the kitchen and gasps when his back hits the refrigerator hard Piers could feel rough and demanding lips on his. Piers couldn't think apart from anything that wasn't Chris involve. He knew this was wrong but it felt so right when he parted his lips clashing teeth together tongues fighting for dominance. Piers hand traveled down to the end of Chris' shirt moving his hand under to feel the smooth build making, Chris growl fighting harder to enter the ace inviting mouth making Piers' tongue retreat back alone with his captains. Piers could have tasted the older man mouth for days, moaning when he suck on Chris tongue.

Chris shuddered when Piers soft fingers rubbed right over his nipple making them groan into the aces' mouth.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Chris felt like he was on top of the world as he slipped one hand under Piers green t-shirt exploring the smooth small of his back. He broke the kiss moving his mouth to Piers neck nipping and sucking like there was no tomorrow… and if it was he would die happily. Piers throw his head back slightly moaning shamelessly again and it drove right to Chris groin. "So beautiful" he mouthed on Piers neck. Piers was still stroking his nipple continuously with one hand moving the other fisted in his shirt to the back of Chris head card his hand in his hair. Chris gasped when Piers pulled him back to his mouth for the second time exploring every inch of Chris' mouth this time.

This time Piers broke the kiss, kissing down his captain's jaw and back to his lips after catching his breath, moaning again but this time Chris name was called. "Chris" He lost it pulling Piers flush against him where their groins touch, but he didn't get the reaction he was looking for.

Piers stopped abruptly throwing himself on the kitchen door frame. Chris was confused at what caused the sudden movement following Piers gaze, he was staring at his own tent showing proud in his jeans. His face distorted in horror and disgust not meeting Chris gaze for a while still staring at his own length. He turned heading for the living area trying to get to his room but Chris ran catching his arm and Chris world went up in flames.

"Don't touch me!" Piers hissed

"What-"

"Shut up please! Shut up and leave me alone! I'm not like you… I can't be! I won't be." The pain on Chris face was un-concealable, "Sorry… I'm not…just let me go. It was wrong of me and I don't…" Chris let him go and he retreated to his room slamming the door.

Chris knew this was a long shot but it didn't make it hurt and less. His body ached everywhere thinking he just loss something to important all too soon. 'If only I kept my mouth shut fuck!' Now Piers was going to leave and he'd never see him again, but he refused to cry he wouldn't. He sat down on the couch the whole night unmoving with his head in his hands until he could move to his bedroom forgetting dinner curling up under the covers.

He kept telling himself, 'this isn't so bad' again and again.

Sleep was coming telling himself one last time.

'This isn't so bad…but it's bad enough' falling into a sleep he hope he'd never wake up from.

A/N: ha-ha tell me how many people thought I was going to make them have sex? Got you right? . please don't hate Piers I still love the guy lol. R&R Mal out~
