AN: Sorry it took so long to update, but we had this huge Christmas thing, and I didn't have an internet connection… Then I got banned because one of my fics was rated "too low." Since when was /kissing/ rated R? HHMM? Many apologies…

AN2: About S&M – Sadomasochism is a combination of the words Sadist and Masochist; a sadist is someone who gets a sexual kick, or just freaking enjoys inflicting pain on another person, while a masochist enjoys receiving it. Someone left a comment about if it was supposed to be physical pain, and yes, it is. See, when someone gets hurt, their body releases endorphins (the same thing happens when you each chocolate or have sex), which make you happy. Most people it just helps to cope with the physical pain, but for some people get more endorphins than others. This is one of the reasons people hurt themselves (Ellie's cutting thing). Also, some people need the feel of being dominated; when they do something wrong, they have a need to be physically punished for what they did.

Part 9 – Kiss

The first thing Marco felt when he woke up was the cramps in his arms. He tried to move them, to work out the kinks, but then he remembered where he was – Jay's bed, still handcuffed. The cramps didn't seem to matter as much anymore, not when there was a naked Jay sprawled across most of his body. Marco shifted his hip, attempting to wake his partner up. Partner – that word stuck in his mind, and then the event of the previous night came rushing back to him like a wave crashing on the shore of his mind, the burn, and a smile crept across his face. He was branded as property o' Jay, forever and always. He just needs to follow a few simple rules, and he would be forever cared for, never alone, always at the side of someone he cared about, and under that punk ass look, Jay was soft. Marco kissed Jay's arm that was lying across his neck, and licked the cheek next to his face.

Jay started to roll off his stomach, onto his back, but his bed was lumpy over there, and ended up grunting from the discomfort. Then a light went off within Jay's mind, Marco was still here, and probably not in the best of positions what with the handcuffs and all. How could he of been so careless, leaving Marco like that all night? "G'mornin, pet," he said as he shifted off most of his sub's body, leaving one arm laying across his torso. Jay propped his head up on Marco's chest and kissed his neck, a sloppy grin on his face. "How'd you sleep?"

Marco's smile grew slightly before answering, "Alright, and you?" The words came out calmly, but inside he was jumping with glee, 'He actually cares about me! I'm just not a good screw for him.' Marco knew he really shouldn't be worrying about silly things like that anymore, but he still did. The look in Jay's golden eyes right now helped with his insecurity, though - genuine concern.

"Sorry about leaving you like that last night, I just kind of crashed. You could have woken me up, ya know?" Marco just grinned and shook his head. He was perfectly fine with being left like that, because his Master had put him there. "Let me got those arms loose for you, they've got to feel like crap," Jay stated. He leaned across Marco for the keys, but before freeing him, he brushed his lips lightly across Marco's, and then a little deeper, slipping his tongue between Marco's braces, and then pulled back, acting as if they hadn't just shared their first kiss, at least their first real one. "I mean, they have been in the same position all night. I'll give you a massage or something later to make up for it…" Marco didn't really hear the words, but only the light caring tone in Jay's voice. Things were good now.

When his arms were released, Jay let his hands rub up in down the tight muscles. He pulled one arm down, and kissed down from the bicep to the tip of Marco's fingers. He then switched arms, following the same path up, but continuing up Marco's neck, his chin, until he reached his lips. But before kissing the boy again, "You're crazy, you know that?"

Marco wanted to snicker, but just wrapped his arms around Jay's neck and pulled him down for a kiss. This one was less rushed, and sweeter, and Marco couldn't stop grinning the whole time.

AN3: See!! Fluffy!! ::Coughs:: My idea of fluff is strange, but even some vanilla people have to see the fluff in that, right?
