Chapter 14

Xehanort sat at his desk poring over his notes on the case he and his partner had recently been going over and frowned when he saw the photo of the girl that was killed.

Aeleus walked into the office and walked over to his desk with a huge smile on his face. "Good morning!"

The tan man sat back in his seat and looked over at his partner. "...Good morning." He paused. "You're awfully happy, so early in the morning."

"I uh... slept well last night." he said sitting down at the desk.

Xehanort raised an eyebrow. "Slept well, hmm?" He gave Aeleus a searching stare and pursed his lips in thought.

"Y-yeah." he said and glanced at the man. "No big deal. Just... slept well."

The other man stood up, case file in hand and folded his arms over his chest. "I've been staring at this for the past twenty minutes and I'm not getting anywhere with it." He said in a tone that really said, 'I know you're lying and I won't leave you alone until you tell the truth.'

"Oh we'll maybe I can help you out." he said and held out his hand for the file, biting his lip.

"The way he did it...this doesn't seem like some random act. He is showing signs of going serial...just like you said, but we have next to no evidence to get him." He put a hand on his hip. "You know how I feel about creeps like this."

"I know you hate cases with kids. That's why I wanted you as a partner. You tend to try to catch the assholes fast.

"Are you feeling any better about your first fieldwork?" He leaned on his desk.

"Huh? Oh! Oh yeah I mean things happen right? I tried my best to save him." he said and looked back at his desk taking back his hand.

"Not like that, Ael." He dropped the file on the other man's desk and closed his eyes and landed in his chair. "But you're right; you did try your best."

"Then what do you mean?" he asked and looked up.

"That bastard got away, with no evidence; he somehow even took the body." Xehanort shuddered. "It's a freak case that we have no idea what happened and we probably never will..."

"Yeah." he said and booted up his computer. "So how was your night?"

The white-haired man took a deep breath and stretched. "I slept...*very* well." A sly smirk spread across his lips and he put his hands behind his head.

"Oh..." He glanced at their boss's office. "Why don't you just move in with him already?"

"Hah! You think we haven't discussed it..." Xehanort shook his head and turned back to the papers on his desk.

"Oh? And what's the verdict? You moving in with him or what?" he asked.

"He's being stubborn and won't give me an answer." The tan man stared at the chief's office.

"Do you think maybe he doesn't want to?" he asked softly.

"No." The answer sounded childish. "I think he's more worried about being transferred." He rolled his eyes.

"Is he up for a transfer?" he asked softly, and looked at his friend.

"He doesn't want to leave what he has here." Xehanort shrugged. "To be honest I think he's perfectly happy with the relationship we have now."

"But you want more." he said and rested his head in his hand.

"Who wouldn't...?" He sighed. "But...all I can really give him is time to think about it." Xehanort turned. "I never know what he's thinking."

"Why don't you ask him?" he asked softly. "I mean how hard can it be?"

"I don't want to suffocate him." He shrugged. "If he's happy with what we have now, I don't want to burst it with asking for more."

"So you'll let yourself be miserable?" he said and shook his head. "That makes sense. Saix is going to end up worrying."

"Then he'll ask me what's wrong and then I can tell him, but otherwise, it's not going any farther than that." He waved to Arlene as she came into the office and stretched, yawning.

"You really think Isa will ask? He's one to ask around to find out what's wrong." he said at the blue haired man walked in.

"Morning, boss." Arlene said tiredly and sat at her desk, obviously leaving out the 'good' part of the phrase.

Xehanort looked up and smiled at his boyfriend. "Good morning, Isa."

Isa smiled. "Good Morning, Xehanort." he said and walked into his office sending the man a sexual glance.

"So, I can already tell how your night went and if anyone asks about my own..." Arlene twisted in her seat leaving that sentence unfinished. "How was your night, Aeleus? You lingered at the Inferno last night, did you have something extra?"

Aeleus tensed up slightly. "No. Why do you ask?" he said quickly.

"Because I'm usually the one who stays the latest there." Arlene replied offhandedly. Xehanort turned to Aeleus and raised an eyebrow. "You stayed longer than usual?"

"No! I... I just... I thought I saw someone I knew." he said and buried himself in the computer.

The blonde woman laughed and turned to her desk slowly getting ready for the day. "Why are you so quick to respond, Ael? Is there something you aren't...telling me?"

Xehanort turned to look at his partner with a devilish grin.

"No of course not." he said and bit his lip. "I thought I saw someone then I left."

The white-haired man leaned over the desk and stared at his friend. "That's the worst excuse I've ever heard." He whispered.

"It's not an excuse. It's the truth." he said not looking up. "It was only for a few minutes."

Xehanort stood up. "Well, who did you think you saw there then?"

"An old friend. From college." he said and looked up. "So what?"

"Ok." He flipped through his notes and ran a hand through his hair. "We should get to questioning the people who saw her last, maybe we can figure out something."

"Yeah." he stood up. "So where to?" he asked.

"She was last seen in the park's playground...Mom should have been the last to see her." He closed his notepad and shoved it in his pocket. "Visiting her would be the best idea."

"Right so let's head that way now." he said and headed to the door.

Xehanort followed after his partner and waited until no one was around. "So, this college friend have a name?"

"Um… Josh. Yeah Josh." he said keeping his back to his partner.

"So why didn't you tell me that in the first place? You don't have to hide it from me, it's not like I'm going to spread everything around like Arlene would." Xehanort smiled and left the building headed towards his car.

"I didn't think it was that important to say anything." he said and walked over to the passenger side.

"Not important?" The tan man raised an eyebrow. "If a guy can make you that happy the next morning and is not considered important then, I don't know what is." He got inside of the vehicle and shoved the keys into the ignition.

Aeleus climbed in. "He's not what made me happy... I just had a good night's sleep."

"Oh, come on, Ael. You don't have to keep using that lame excuse over and over again." He cleared his throat and started the car. "You know you can tell me anything..."

"Not everything." he muttered and rested his chin in his hand, looking out the window.

"So you're telling me you don't trust me with knowing that you have a boyfriend, when I told you about me and Isa first? I'm hurt." Xehanort pulled a weak smile.

He glanced over at Xehanort. "It's not as simple."

"So you aren't going to tell me-you're just going to leave me in the dark." He pulled out and frowned as he left the lot.

Aeleus sighed and closed his eyes. "There is no friend from college."

Xehanort glanced at the address in his open notepad and started made a right at the intersection. "...Ok. So then...why did you stay late at the Inferno?"

"Remember our waitress?" he asked softly and went back to looking out the window.

"Wait, you mean to tell me...that you're screwing that girl...that threw food all over you that one night?" He bit his lip to keep from laughing. "A-are you serious?"

"That girl... isn't a girl." he said and looked at Xehanort.

"So...ah...she's a..." The white-haired man blushed and thumbed the wheel slowly. "She's a trahh-" He couldn't bring himself to say the word he was going for and clammed up.

"No!" he looked at his friend. "He's a he. He just dresses as a girl for work..."

"Oh, well...I guess, happiness pops up in all sorts of places." Xehanort shrugged and his blush faded. "So what makes that not simple?"

"He's not exactly normal." he said and clasped his hands together.

"Well aside from pulling off the look he does, what's wrong?" He slowed to a stop at a red light.

"Remember my first case? The boy?" he asked softly and look at his lap.

"Of course. You did well." He glanced over at him. "What about it?"

"He didn't exactly die." he whispered.

"...How do you know, the body was stolen and hasn't turned up since." Xehanort went a little pale thinking about it.

"Oh trust me, the body has turned up." he said biting his lip.

"So...Zexia...if I remember his name right...is...that boy?" The tan man scrunched his face up into confusion.

"His name is Zexion, but yes." he said and kept his eyes on his lap.

"Ael, you're not making sense, Zexion serves us alcohol, which means he has to be at least 21, and the boy from the case was barely 16. And I can see the resemblance, but...there's no way he could get a job and look that good...in the span of 30 hours, there's just no way." He drove down the road and was nearing the last turn they had to make.

"That's because he's not normal." he whispered.

"Then what is he if he's not normal?" Xehanort turned and raised an eyebrow.

He bit his lip and glanced at his friend. "A vampire?"

"Aeleus..." He parked the car and turned off the engine. "You really expect me to believe that?" He shook his head. "A vampire?" He got out of the car after grabbing his notepad.

Aeleus reached out and grabbed Xehanort's wrist pulling him back into the car and exposing some of the bandage. "You're my friend aren't you?"

"I thought I was but, if you keep telling me lies like this, then maybe not." He sighed. "What happened to your wrist?"

"I told you Zexion was a vampire." he said and pulled his hand back pushing the sleeve down.

"So he bit you?" Xehanort went pale as he began to realize that he wasn't being lied to.

"No. He can't bite me unless I ask him to." he said rubbing the wrist.

"So what did you do...?" He wet his lips in thought, thinking about the heavy atmosphere his partner had set.

"Cut myself." he whispered. "He was hungry..." he said as if that made everything ok.

"Hungry? So you just...gave him a snack, then?" He closed his eyes. "Aeleus...If he really is what you say he is...then you could be in a lot of danger, aren't vampires supposed to be...evil, deceptive...bloodthirsty creatures?"

"No... At least he isn't." he said. "He was just dealt a bad hand at fate."

"This is kind of hard to take in all at once..." Xehanort looked at his partner. "This...it's just...unreal."

"It's the truth Xehanort. Believe me." he whispered and he looked up.

"So why the hell are you screwing a 16 year old boy?" Xehanort narrowed his eyes.

"I uh… I don't really think of him as sixteen. He's immortal so…"

"So he's sixteen forever, then..." Xehanort leaned his head back. "God, this is..." He placed a hand to his forehead, feeling a headache come on. "This was more than I expected than when I first asked you..."

"There's more or do not want to hear anymore?" he asked and glanced up at his friend.

"...You might as well tell me in one sitting, while I'm still in shock-if that's what it is." He closed his eyes. 'Was this real? Do they really exist?'

Aeleus took a deep breath. "He's going to change me at the end of the month." he said softly.

Xehanort directed his eyesight to his partner and blinked repeatedly, shaking his head in confusion. "What does that mean?"

"It means I'm going to... to be like him." he said not looking at Xehanort.

"Don't vampires...kill people? Isn't that against your code of ethics?" Xehanort sighed. "You realize you're going to allow him to turn you into a killer, right?"

"I know that but I don't care." he said and looked up slowly.

"You don't... you don't care?" The tan man went pale again. "Aeleus...how can I let you do this to yourself?"

Aeleus stared at the other man. "I want this, Xehanort. You can't stop me."

"But...what if he used some sort of mind trick on you to want this? You honestly want to become a murderous creature of the night? Aeleus, our job is to protect people not kill them!"

"I love him!" he said loudly looking up at the other man quickly.

Xehanort sat silently and stared at the steering wheel. "There's no way I can stop you..." He whispered. "And just like that...you'll fall off the face of the Earth and take up a new persona, killing people without a second glance...why the hell did you join the force?"

"I won't have to kill people. And I can stay on the force if I want to. Nothing really has to change..."

"Then how do you expect to live as a vampire? And Zexion looks nothing like he did when he was a human." He crossed his arms. "How do you expect nothing to change?

"My change might not be as drastic. I have it under control Xehanort." he said softly.

"How are you going to live without killing anyone?" He bit his lip.

"Zexion said something about having a partner that I can feed from." he answered.

"Yeah and how easy is that to do, I mean, find a partner?" Now he was answering back flippantly.

"I don't know but Zexion was drinking from blood bags before so maybe...I can do that or..." he trailed off.

"Wha, blood bags? Aeleus..." Xehanort shook his head. "Are you even able to see all what's wrong with this?"

"Xehanort, I understand what I'm doing goes against everything that I fight for but... I can't stop what I feel." he whispered.

"Blinded by love." The white-haired male sighed. "I'll keep you're secret...but I can't say I'm ecstatic about it."

"If you were in my position you would do the same Xehanort." he said and got out of the car.

The tan man closed his eyes and got out of the car, locking the doors. "Let's just do our jobs for now..."

Aeleus was silent. How could Xehanort not understand? His best friend didn't support him.

Braig stretched and popped his neck. "Man... this is taking longer than I thought..." He left the house he was in and glanced at the next house and shrugged. "I...guess I can do one more..." The hunter noticed the large garden and sighed. "When do people have the time to plant gardens...Lil' vamp, lil' vamp let me in...not by the hair of my pretty little head." Braig then began picking the lock of the backdoor and slowly opened the door, peeking his head in and sighing in relief when no one was around. "Alright...let's check the..." He covered his face with is palm and pointed, waving his hand about until he peeked through his fingers. "The refrigerator..." A smile crept over his face. He rubbed his hands together and opened the door to the kitchen appliance and frowned. "Aw, you gotta be kidding me...Nothing?"

Of course there was plenty of food in the fridge but none that appealed to the one-eyed man. "Ugh..." He turned his head to the counter where many bottles of vitamins and medicines littered the area. "Old folk's house...just wonderful..." Though something seemed off, pictures were usually huge in the type of home he believed he was in. He only saw a painting or two. "Guess it can't hurt to go check upstairs..." Braig went to the front of the house and slowly made his way up the stairs, still seeing a lack of pictures. Each door he saw was slightly opened, all but one. "Sure, why not?" When he opened the door he glanced around and saw a cat whose head perked up to see who the visitor to the room was. Braig froze in place when he realized the cat had been curled up against a sleeping man, looking like he had been in the bed for much too long. The hunter was about to leave when he heard the pale blond man groan in his sleep.

"Mmm..." The man looked like he was having a bad dream but Braig leaned in to hear what the other man was mumbling. "Mar...luxia..." He breathed and twisted slightly in his sheets. Marluxia, had he heard correctly? Had he actually managed to find the elusive vampire's current place of residence? The second time the blond had whispered the name clearly.

"Score." Braig whispered to himself and pulled away from the bedroom and closed the door quietly before quickly retreating with his brand new information. He had definitely earned his beer's worth.

"Marluxia?" Even woke up slightly, thinking he had heard the door to his room and Spook jumped off the bed. "Hmm...wishful thinking..." He murmured and closed his eyes, leaning back into the pillow. He might as well get more rest if Marluxia were to turn up again.

The black cat stalked over to the bedroom door hissing at it loudly.

"Spook?" Even opened his eyes again and frowned. "What's wrong?"

The cat meowed angrily at the door and arched his back.

Braig heard the cat and rushed as quietly as he could outside of the house. "Spook, it's nothing, come back to the bed..." He sighed.

Spook meowed again and ran over to the open window and jumped up onto the windowsill.

With a second, slightly annoyed sigh, Even got up to see what was bothering the cat so much. "Ok, fine..." He pushed some of his hair back and saw a man walking down the sidewalk, and raised his eyebrow. "You don't have to be that protective..." He sighed and sat back on his bed.

The cat meowed again and raised the hair on his back.

"Stop that..." The blond waved his hand and shook his head. "It's just someone taking a walk." He frowned and turned his back to the window as he slipped back under the sheets.

The cat lowered his back and hissed at the blond man.

"Leave me alone." He mumbled and closed his eyes in an attempt to sleep.

The cat, angry that the man wouldn't listen to him turned back towards the window and jumped out onto the roof.

Even turned to see that the cat had disappeared out the window. "Oh, so you're gone now too..." He whispered and bit his lip. "I wish I would be healthy again..." Even groaned and stared at the ceiling.

Axel pulled the bags from the trunk and smiled at the two younger vampires emerged from the car. "Did you two have fun today?

"Yeah, it was nice to visit shops I hadn't seen in a while." Zexion smiled and went to the trunk to help carry some of the bags.

"It was nice to see stores in general." Roxas added.

Axel smiled at the boy's. "I got the bags boy's, go ahead and open the door for me."

Roxas opened up the door to the apartment and Zexion closed the trunk of the car. "Thanks for buying all this stuff, Axel. I appreciate it."

"No problem. You both needed clothes." he said and walked over to the door to the apartment and saw a black cat sitting at the door to the building. "What's this? A cat?"

The youngest of the three's eyes widened. "No way!" He squeaked and picked up the cat, staring at it with a searching gaze. "Spook!" He hugged onto the cat.

"You know this cat Zexion?" he asked.

"Of course I do! He's MY cat!" He nuzzled his face against the black cat's face with a smile. "How the heck did you find me?" Roxas raised an eyebrow at the boy talking to his pet.

The cat nuzzled his master's face and licked his cheek.

"A pet always knows where his master is." Axel said. "Now come on let's get inside.

Zexion went to their apartment quickly and pushed the door open after unlocking the door. "Who's been feeding you?"

The cat stared into Zexion's eyes the moved his head to lick at the scar on Zexion's wrist.

"...He's been feeding you?" Zexion blinked and he stared oddly at the cat before setting him down. "Why would he feed you?"

Spook took off into the apartment after Roxas opened the door to explore his new home.

"Why would who feed who?" Axel asked.

"Marluxia." Zexion spat the name. "He's been taking care of Spook this whole time."

"Marluxia? That sad excuse for a vampire has been feeding your cat? Why?"

"Heck if I know..." The teen pouted and crossed his arms, landing himself in the couch. "Who's Marluxia? Roxas tilted his head to the side.

"A vampire you don't want to get mixed up with." Axel said and led Roxas back to their room with the bags. "The one who changed Zexion." he whispered.

"Is that why he got worked up when you said that I killed my sire?" The blond whispered back quietly.

"Probably. Most likely he wished that he had killed Marluxia." he said and dropped the bags and wrapped his arms around the blond.

"What's so bad about this vampire?" Roxas leaned into Axel's touch.

"Turning humans is a sport to him." he whispered pushing a hand up Roxas' shirt to flick a nipple.

The blond gasped and shied from the touch, blushing. "S-sport?"

"Yes. He turns them then leaves them to fend for themselves." he whispered and pressed his lips again Roxas' neck in a gentle kiss.

"Ah...I guess I can see why I would want him dead, then..." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"That's enough talk for now." he said kicking the door shut and running his fingers over Roxas' nipple again.

Roxas turned to face Axel and pulled him closer to his height. "You aren't asking this time..." He whispered and gently kissed him.

"Do I have to ask every time?" he asked softly and kissed the boy back.

"Maybe..." He closed his eyes. "Depends on how fast I can get used to you..." He whispered.

"Seems to me like you're pretty used to me already." he said lowering a hand to Roxas' crotch.

"It's only a few words...Is that too much to ask for?" The blond grasped his shoulders.

"It's hard to hold back when I'm around you." he said softly and pulled back slightly. "Can I touch you Roxas?" he breathed and squeezed Roxas' growing erection.

The teen nodded slowly, letting out a soft moan and he pulled Axel to the bed.

Axel didn't move and smirked. "Tell me." he breathed. "What do you want? Tell me."

"I...want you..." Roxas stared back at his mate and nodded. "I want everything."

Axel stepped forward and lowered his lover onto the bed. "Everything?" he whispered and cupped the boy's cheek.

"Everything." The blond slowly wrapped his legs around Axel's waist. "Show me how much I mean to you." He whispered.

Axel smirked and pulled off the boy's shirt. "I love you." he whispered and leaned down to nip at the boy's nipple.

"Nh...Axel..." Roxas blushed and turned his head to the side.

Axel pushed the boy's legs down and unbuttoned his pants. "I want to see you."

The teen nodded slowly and ran his hand through Axel's red hair. "Sure..." He whispered.

Axel removed the pants quickly and smirked as he stared at the boy. "You're gorgeous." he breathed and took the tip of Roxas' length into his mouth.

"Mm...I..." Roxas took a deep breath and leaned up on his elbows to look down at the older vampire. "You think so...?" He breathed.

Axel pulled away from the boy's length and smirked. "Of course." he said with a laugh. He moved up and kissed the blond.

Roxas kissed him back and let his hands slip down to quickly pull off his mate's shirt. Axel pulled out of the kiss to let the blond remove it, then went back to attacking his lips. Roxas ran his nails down the other's sides until the touch was interrupted by fabric. He nipped at the redheads lips and slowly unbuttoned the pants.

Axel pulled back. "You're sure you're ready to go that far?' he asked softly and placed a hand over Roxas's.

"Do I not mean that much to you then?" He tugged on the offending article of clothing, pulling Axel closer. "I told you..."

He straddled the boy's hips and grabbed his hands. "Say that you love me?" he whispered.

"I..." Roxas bit his lip and looked away. 'I can't do it on command...' He whispered through the mental link, becoming slightly passive.

Axel frowned and leaned down to nuzzle the boy's neck. 'I'm not commanding you...' he said back and licked at the pale skin.

'I know...I...I love you...' Roxas let his hands wander across his mates' abdomen.

Axel smiled and let out a happy sigh. "That's all I wanted to hear." he whispered and kicked off his pants.

The blond hugged onto the tall male and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry." He whispered against his chest.

Axel held his mate gently. "Why are you apologizing?" he whispered and kissed the top of his head.

"I'm such a selfish brat..." He shook his head. "I'm not sure I've thanked you for anything..."

"You don't have to thank me for anything Roxas." he whispered and lifted his lovers head. "Having you here is enough." he whispered.

"But I do...! You...you've done so much for me..." He looked away. "I'm not worthy of being your mate..."

Axel turned Roxas' head back and stared into his eyes. "Don't ever say that. You don't know it but you're saving me from myself. I would be in darkness if it wasn't for you."

"That's not...I'm not... "It took a moment for the blond to compose himself. "What do you mean?"

Axel sighed and climbed off of the bed to pull on his pants. He sat down and placed his fingers over an R-shaped burn on his chest over his heart. "I had one mate before you..."

Roxas frowned. "What happened?" He gently placed his hands on his shoulders.

Axel glanced over at the blonde and smiled. "He was killed. By hunters." he said softly and placed a hand over Roxas'.

"Was he weak and defenseless...like me?" He asked quietly and tilted his head to the side.

Axel chuckled and shook his head. "No, not at all. He died protecting me."

"...Oh." The sound he made barely resembled a word. "Did...did you get revenge?"

"No. I haven't been able to yet." he said and looked at the boy. "Things were very different back then."

"Different how?" Roxas draped his arms around his neck. "How far ago was 'then'?"

Axel chuckled and laid the boy back down. "1,983 years ago. And let's just say I wasn't in the position I'm in now."

"1,983 years? He's been gone that long?" Roxas bit his lip.

"No he only died ten years ago. But to me it's been a long time." he said and smiled at the boy.

"So...how were things different...back then?" Roxas ran a hand through his hair.

"I already told you. I'm not in the same position as I was back then." he said again.

"And what position was that?" Roxas shook his head in confusion.

Axel stared at the boy and laughed. "I wasn't the dominate one." he said.

A smile slowly came to the surface. "Really?" His hands dropped to his sides. "So...I'm your first to top, then?"

"No... I've had other lovers. No other mates but... you're my first mate that I've topped, yes." he said and leaned down to kiss his neck.

"Oh..." Roxas smiled. "What was his name? You're last mate, I mean."

Axel covered the scar and smiled sadly. "Reno." he breathed and closed his eyes.

"Hmm..." Roxas looked up. "I...I don't think I could understand what you're going through."

"Probably not." he said and looked at the younger vampire. "You said you've never had a mate. I hope that you never have to go through a breakdown."

"Well, I guess I have to keep you protected, then." Roxas tilted his head to the side. "Right?"

Axel chuckled and leaned over the boy. "You protect me? Who was the one who barbequed a hunter earlier? And who was the one who got shot?" he asked softly and ran his fingers over the place where Roxas was shot.

The blond bit his lip. "I...I was...trying to keep you safe." He looked away. "I wasn't planning on getting shot anyway, he surprised me."

"And that's why you need me. In case you get... surprised again." Axel stared into the boy's eyes. "I've been alive much much longer than you Roxas. I can take care of myself. I don't need to be kept safe..."

"Then don't insinuate that I may have a breakdown." The younger vampire snapped and crossed his arms.

Axel smiled and kissed the boy's neck. "Are you scared of losing me?"

"Ah-" Roxas blushed and looked away. "I...Wh-why should I? You seem to be taking care of yourself just fine."

Axel tilted Roxas's head back towards him. "Are you scared?" he asked again.

He closed his eyes and nodded slightly not wanting to say it out loud. If he did he felt that the possibility of it happening would become more real.

"I will never leave you. As long as you promise me the same." he whispered and touched their foreheads together.

"I promise...I won't leave you." Roxas opened his eyes and slowly wrapped his arms around Axel's waist in an embrace.

Axel smiled and pinned the blond to the bed. "I love you." he breathed and kissed Roxas softly.

The blond kissed him back and closed his eyes, his hands reaching up to run through his lover's bright red hair.

Axel ran his hands down Roxas's sides and stopped at his hips. 'Do you want to continue then?'

Roxas licked at Axel's lips. 'Yeah...' His hands slipped down the redhead's back and stopped when his hands made contact with his pants, bringing a slight frown to face.

Axel pulled out of the kiss and chuckled. "Not a fan of clothes right now are you?"

"If it's in then way, then of course I'm not a fan of it." Roxas quipped, a smile slowly forming on his lips.

Axel smiled and quickly removed his own pants. "Is that better?"

The teenaged vampire nodded and wrapped his legs around his waist. "Much better."

Axel smiled and moved one of his hands under Roxas and pushed a finger into him slowly.

Roxas bit his lip and closed his eyes. "I love you..." He whispered.

"I love you too." he breathed and pushed in another finger. "Does it hurt?"

The blond shook his head. "No...I'm fine." He looked up. "It's just...been a while."

"How long is a while?" he asked softly and stretched his fingers gently.

Roxas looked away, not wanting to answer and sighed. 'It doesn't matter.'

Axel wanted to pry but he didn't want his lover to be upset with him so he shut his mouth and used it to pleasure his mate instead by kissing down his neck. Roxas relaxed a little and let out a small moan. He dragged his nails up his mate's back and licked his lips.

"Like that?" he asked nipping at the pale skin. "You want more?"

Roxas nodded and wrapped his arms around Axel's neck. "I want more..." He echoed quietly.

Axel smiled as he slipped his fangs into the younger vampires' vein and sucked. He let out a small moan and closed his eyes.

The blond gasped and hugged tightly onto his mate. "Th-that...feels nice." He whispered.

Keeping his fangs in Roxas's neck he pulled his fingers out and replaced them with his length.

"Nnh!" He bit his lip again and closed his eyes, this time drawing blood.

Axel moaned again and pulled his fangs from Roxas's neck. "Did I... Oh Goddess I hurt you!" he said noticing Roxas's lip.

"I...I'm fine." He licked his lip. "Don't-I-I hurt myself, I'm fine." Roxas blushed.

Axel frowned and kissed Roxas' mouth tenderly and licked at the wound. "I'm sorry."

"Stop apologizing, next time I'll just bite you..." He kissed Axel back and nipped at his lips, gently.

Axel smirked. "I would like that too much..." he muttered and pushed all the way into the boy.

Roxas pulled him into a deeper kiss and closed his eyes.

Axel moaned and started a slow rhythm. 'I love you. So much'

The blond pushed his tongue into his lover's mouth and traced the edge of his teeth. Axel moaned into the kiss and grabbed Roxas's hips violently and dug his nails into his skin. Roxas gasped and pulled out of the kiss but quickly moved to kiss Axel's neck.

Axel chuckled and pressed closer to the boy. "You feel so good."

The younger began to match his lovers pace and closed his eyes. "More..."

Axel lifted Roxas's legs and shifted his hips to thrust deeper. "How's that Roxas?" he breathed.

Roxas bit into Axel's neck slowly. 'Good.' He moaned and pulled Axel close to himself.

Axel moaned and arched his back as his mate bit him. "Goddess I love you." he whispered as he started to pound into the blond.

The younger vampire bit deeper and a moan escaped his lips. 'I love you...'

Axel let a growl escape his throat and he lifted one of Roxas's legs over his shoulder so he could move faster inside of him. Roxas dug his nails into Axel's back and pulled away licking the slowly healing mark he made.

"Roxas..." Axel moaned and placed a hand on the mattress to balance himself as he moved his hips faster.

The blue-eyed vampire bit him shallowly in a different spot and moaned quietly.

"You just can't get enough can you?" he asked and lowered his other hand to Roxas's erection.

'I'm not being told to stop, am I?' Roxas playfully nipped at a different spot.

"No... Goddess... keep going." he moaned and cupped the boy's crotch.

The teen kissed his lover's neck, grazing his fangs along the jugular. "Mmm..."

"Oh... Roxas..." Axel pressed closer to the boy and pushed deeper into him. "So close..."

The blond squeezed Axel's shoulders and pushed his head back into the pillow and moaned loudly as he released.

Axel grunted and arched his back as he released inside of Roxas. "Roxas!"

Roxas pulled the redhead into a kiss and smiled. 'I love you, Axel...'

Axel smiled back and kissed him back softly. 'I love you, Roxas.'

The younger pulled away and closed his eyes. "So..." He pushed some sweaty bangs out of his face. "What's this about a job?"

Axel laughed and pulled out of the boy to lie next to him. "Why don't you rest a little bit?"

Roxas nodded. "I can do that too..." He whispered and closed his eyes.

Axel smiled and wrapped an arm around the boy. "I can get you a job as a waiter. Remember where we met?"

The boy nodded. "Yeah, I can do that, no problem..." He mumbled and closed his eyes again.

Axel smiled and kissed Roxas's forehead softly. "I'll let you take a little nap."

The blond vampire nodded. "Don't let me sleep too long."

"I'll be sure to wake you before work." he said and ran his fingers through the damp blond hair.
