The plaster ceiling was what captured his attention to begin with. His eyes opening slowly to look up at the pristine white color, he frowned. It was a bit disconcerting. This wasn't his cot in the Al Samen buildings. It was much more comfortable to say the least. He could feel arms around his waist, holding him closer than close.
It was warm. To say the very least it was warm. There was a soft glow to the room, which looked to be a candle perhaps, judging by the flickering of the light. He turned his head a bit to see the candle set on the nightstand. The deep color of the wooden object looked black from where he lay. Of course, everything looked dimmer in the light. He tried to move and felt his hands ache, his hair for once not giving him much resistance. His head felt lighter.
"You're awake."
Judal froze in place as he felt the gaze of the other person, looking over to shake his head. "I've gone to hell apparently."
Alibaba frowned at him. "We've both gone to hell apparently."
"Devil better let me slaughter some people," Judal muttered before looking down. His eyes froze on the blue haired boy in his arms. "What's Aladdin doing here?"
"He wouldn't go anywhere without knowing you were okay." Alibaba shook his head. "So I'm stuck watching you both sleep."
"It must have been so painful." Judal pulled the boy a bit closer up his person, resting Aladdin's head on his own shoulder. "You could stick around a bit longer and watch me fuck him when he wakes up." Judal's lips went to the boy's forehead. "Your friend has such a tight little hole down there. Have you ever- ah, well he was a virgin when he got touched by me, I doubt you've had the pleasure of having him."
"I hope you get fed your own dick by Ugo," Alibaba spat, glaring at him.
Judal nuzzled his face against Aladdin's, enjoying the scent of his hair and skin. "Chibi, get up before I toss your ass in a dumpster."
"I'll beat you up before that happens," Alibaba snarled as the boy in Judal's arms stirred.
"You have such a way with words," Judal looked over at the blond and grinned, "I would like to see you try. If you forget, I was the one who taught Hakuryuu and he was the one who taught you to fight. I could beat you with one hand."
Aladdin's eyes opened a bit more to see the raven haired teen before he was leaning into him a bit more. "Judal," the boy murmured. "Are you okay? You should sleep more."
"Chibi, I feel like I've done nothing but sleep."
"You did, but that's okay. You needed the rest. I'm happy to have you safe and sound here with me again." Aladdin's face nuzzled into his shoulder, "You got into a big fire, but Ugo pulled you out before you got really hurt." Those blue eyes looked up at him, fear glinting from the corners of his eyes. "I thought you were dead when I got up at what used to be your family's home and you weren't there."
Judal sighed, damn he wasn't dead.
He pushed at the boy, moving to sit up when he caught sight of the end of his hair. His hair only went to the middle of his back. Barely even that, actually, his hair went just shy of above there from the looks of it. He pulled a bit of it into his hands, ignoring the pain of his hair brushing against his burns. His eyes were glued to the nice ends instead of the split ends he was so used to. He glared over at Aladdin. "Who did this?"
"Ohhh, he's so mad. Someone cut his hair." Alibaba rolled his eyes. "Aladdin, Ugo is in the living room. I've got some homework to do. Don't spend too long in here." He pat the boy's head before giving the other boy a glare. "Don't fuck with Aladdin."
"I won't unless he cut this." Judal pulled the boy over and held him closer.
Aladdin cuddled a bit closer, only to feel the other's hands go to his neck.
"If he did though, I'm going to strangle him to death before you leave." Judal remarked as calmly as though he were bidding the other a good day. Those fingers wrapping tight around Aladdin's neck, they made Aladdin wince.
"Your hair was burned so Ugo cut the bad parts off." Aladdin looked over at him, reaching out for a moment before the other sighed, letting him scramble against him.
"Careful brat. I had a fucking building burn around me a while ago."
"Sorry," but the boy continued to hold on until Judal smacked him over the head.
Alibaba was gone after Aladdin's apology, apparently not wanting to stick around to watch. Judal was fine with that though. He pulled the boy close and dug his nails into the boy's back, watching him wince as he felt the rush of being alive run through him. That soft skin was so nice to dig into. Aladdin's responses were so masochistic. "So what am I doing here with you," Judal asked in a low murmur.
"Ugo and I get to look after you." Aladdin smiled up at him. "You were supposed to go with a friend of Ugo's, but the man was busy working at the hospital so you get to stay with us."
"So where he hell am I? This isn't your room."
"It's the spare room. Ugo wouldn't let me keep you in my room. He said you should have your own."
Judal leaned closer to Aladdin and removed the tie from Aladdin's hair, letting it spread out over his back. "Well that sucks for him. I'm going to force you to grow your hair out for every inch I've lost and then some. Ugo got rid of too much of mine. I'm not moving an inch until it's back." Judal cuddled the boy, coughing a bit as he did so. Moving was painful, but he could.
"We need to study and learn for the next semester of classes though," Aladdin followed him down, snuggling a bit closer as the other held him.
"I know enough."
"I don't," Aladdin looked up at him. "We have to get food and go to the bathroom sometime. We can't spend forever in here."
We'll order delivery to the bedroom. Maybe I'll threaten to kill you just to get Ugo to bring the food in." Judal kissed the boy's shoulder. "You're so warm Aladdin. How are you so warm?"
Aladdin squirmed, "You feel like ice."
Judal grinned, "I'll just have to shove inside and warm up-" he began to cough again, more seriously this time around. Doubling over, he beat at his chest a bit to get it out of his system.
"No, no," Aladdin pulled away, grabbing a glass of water from nearby. "You're supposed to drink this. Ugo said your throat was going to be weird."
"I'm not drinking anything, it's just a damn cough." Judal stole the glass away before setting it down, wrapping his arms back around Aladdin. "Now then, come here so I can fuck you."
Aladdin went into his arms, shivering at the feel of Judal's cold skin against his own. Those burned hands running over him. He looked into those burned eyes and shook his head. "You'll stay here with me, won't you? Those people you lived with got arrested and I know Zagan isn't going to mind you staying here. He's already adopted you."
"Everything happens when I'm asleep," Judal complained, running his hands through Aladdin's hair. "Keep me interested, brat, and I might stick around."
Aladdin curled up close, kissing his jaw before the other turned and stole his lips away. The older boy's lips teasing and coaxing him into a deeper kiss. He pressed his hands weakly to the other's chest, keeping his balance as he tilted his head. When he pulled back, he looked down at the boy's panting face and beamed. "I think I can find some way to keep you busy."
"You kiss like Kouha again," Judal complained, yanking him to the sheets. "Let's try that again."
