Chapter 12

It was late, close to midnight when John and Dirk finally made it back to the apartment complex. John was curled up in his seat, asleep and wearing Dirk's jacket. He looked rather adorable; the way the collar covered most of his face and the way he held his arms close to his chest. The baggy sleeves made it even cuter.

Dirk hopped out and walked over to John's side of the car, tapping the window lightly and waking John up. He yawned and fiddled with the door handle in an attempt to open the door. He was still weak from the anemia and from just waking up so he was having some trouble. He furrowed his eyebrows and gave up, turning away from the door and curling up again.

Dirk looked at the helpless boy sitting in the car and sighed. He opened the door, startling John a bit and offering his hand, which the smaller gladly took.

John stumbled a bit, falling into Dirk's arm. The blonde chuckled; he could feel the vibrations as Dirk held him tightly to his chest.

He closed his eyes, listening to the rhythmic beat of his heart. A hand gently lifted his face and he looked up, gazing at Dirk's smiling face.

Dirk leaned forward, pressing his lips lightly on to John's. When he didn't feel him kiss back, he began to pull away. Two hands were placed on the sides of his face as he was pulled back into another kiss. His eyes widened in surprise.

Dirk smiled into the kiss and placed his hands on John's hips, pulling him closer. He ran his tongue across John's bottom lip and over his piercings before biting gently, causing John to gasp. He slid his tongue into his mouth, tasting and exploring every inch.

John couldn't think straight. He was enraptured in the kiss, and it was perfectly obvious who the uke was and who the seme was.

They broke the kiss at the same time for air, breathing heavily, placing their foreheads together. Dirk recovered quickly, but John was still breathless, only it wasn't because of the kiss… Well it partially was. The lack of air had triggered one of his anemia symptoms.

Dirk turned his back to John and knelt down slightly, "Come on, let's get you upstairs."

John smiled and climbed onto his back, wrapping his arms around his neck loosely while Dirk hooked his arms under his legs to hold him up.

They headed inside and up the stairs. Dirk unlocked the door to his apartment, carrying John inside. He made his way into his room and let John down on the bed. The dark haired boy yawned, laying down and resting his head on one of the pillows.

Dirk lay down next to him, slinking an arm around his thin waist and pulling him close. He saw John smile slightly as he snuggled closer.

"Am I ever going to get my jacket back?" he asked quietly.

"Mmmm I dunno, maybe someday," he replied.

Dirk chuckled, "So what are we now?"

John was quiet for a minute, thinking. He stretched up, kissing him deeply, "Does that answer your question?"

Dirk smiled and nodded, closing his eyes and falling asleep next to John.

Dirk woke up to find the small, dark haired boy missing. He looked around the room before getting up and walking out into the living room. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw John in the kitchen, setting a pan in the oven.

A smirk grew on Dirks face as he snuck forward. John turned around and jumped, holding a hand to his chest.

"Damn it, don't sneak up on my like that!" he exclaimed, looking upset.

"Sorry," Dirk said, walking up and catching him in a hug, "Oh by the way, we have to go to a doctor and get some kind of red blood cell count thing or whatever it's called to make sure this anemia thing isn't permanent."

John groaned. "Do I have to?" he whined.

Dirk pinched his cheek, "Yes, you do."

John sighed, "Fine."

The timer on the oven sounded and John hopped up, grabbing an oven mit and pulling out a pan of muffins. The smell of chocolate wafted through the apartment, making Dirk's mouth water.

"Ok, here's the plan," Dirk stated, "First we chow down on these muffins. Then we go to the doctor!"

A/N: This literally took me six hours to write DX Mainly because of tumblr (Again) and anime haha. I finally reached 80 followers on tumblr though and I was so excited! My next milestone is 100, but if it's taken four months to get 80 followers it may take a while. Other than that, I hope you liked the chapter!
