LIFEBLOOD

CHAPTER 5

"Come on in." Angel said holding the door for the young blond.

"Thanks." Spike said smiling at the older guy slightly and stepped into the room. "Wow. This place's damn good." He exclaimed when he saw it. His eyes gleamed with amazement.

There was a large kitchen on your right and also a large living room on your left. The kitchen had a long counter and three black stools were in front of it. The living room had a blue gray sofa, the same colored love seat, a glass top coffee table with black legs and a huge TV set. The flour was made of wood but the living room part was covered with a gray rug. The sofa and the love seat were decollated with black cushions and white ones. A beautiful painting was hanging on the wall over the sofa. They could see two doors on the other side of the wall from the front door. The apartment looked pretty neat and tidy.

Angel entered the room after the blond teen and gave him a slightly wicked smile and asked "You think so?"

"Hell yeah!! It's the coolest flat I've ever seen!!" Spike said cheerfully and turned his face to look at the dark tall guy.

"Thanks. I've living here since I was 18. It looked lot different at that time though. I shared this place with Doyle till 3 years ago. But he is the worst room mate you can have. This place always looked as if a typhoon had just struck!! And we didn't have this much furniture either. I got most of these after I started working for full time." Angel explained chuckling at the blond teen's expression. "I'll show you other rooms too." He said smiling lightly.

Angel walked between the kitchen and the living room toward the two lined doors. Spike followed him quietly still looking around the apartment. The older guy opened the left door.

"It's my bedroom." Angel said walking inside the room. He turned on the light.

The room was still dark with dark blue walls and dark gray lug on the floor even though the light was on. There was only a king-sized bed with dark navy seats and navy pillows and white ones and a wardrobe in the room.

"You've got a bloody king-sized bed! It's so huge!!" Spike almost shouted in amazement. 'A bed.... Angel's bed... the bed he sleeps in at night. I wonder what he wears when he goes to bed.... Boxers, maybe?? He might sleep naked!! Oh, bloody hell. I can't think about him that way!! Bloody stupid mind!!' Spike shouted to him self mentally.

"Yea. I feel like shit when I can't sleep well so I got that one instantly when I found it in one of the furniture store in the downtown a couple of months ago. It's really comfortable too." Angel said smiling at the blond sweetly. He liked seeing the younger boy in so much amazement. Spike looked so cute and beautiful with those brightly shining clear blue eyes.

"I bet." Spike said smiling at the dark-haired guy. 'It'll be more comfortable if you circle your arms around my body in the bed, Angel.' He said in his mind and sighed disappointedly. 'That'd never happen in the real life thought.'

"Ok, next room." Angel said and left the room followed closely by the blond teen. Angel could feel the sudden change of emotions in Spike's eyes. He wanted to know what the younger boy was thinking and wanted to ease the pain. He only had known him for only a day but the blond always seemed to be in some kind of pain. The boy didn't deserve so much pain. Angel was dying to know more about the other guy.

"This was used to be Doyle's bedroom but now it's my study." Angel said opening the door to the room.

The room was little blank. There was a desk on which had a computer in the far side of the room. A couple of guitar cases were lying on the other side of the floor.

"Oh, guitars!" Spike said happily. His mood changed soon after he found the guitar cases and a couple of music lying on the floor.

"Yeah. You can use one of them if you want." Angel said kindly picking up one of the guitar cases from the floor and handed it to the young blond.

"Thanks." Spike said excitedly and appreciatively taking the guitar from Angel.

"Well, I guess I should get to work now." Angel said sighing quite loudly not wanting to do his work.

"OK. Then I should get out of this room. I don't wanna bother you while you work." Spike said shrugging slightly feeling sad.

"You can use that in the living room or anywhere. You can help yourself with anything in the fridge or the pantry." Angel said sweetly and walked to the desk in the room.

"Thanks." Spike said giving the dark-haired guy a shy smile and left the room, closing the door behind him.

He walked toward the sofa and put down the guitar case on the coffee table. He opened it and picked up the guitar out of it. The guitar was black and looked really nice. He was little hesitant about using Angel's guitar at first because he didn't even know how to play any chords. He shrugged slightly but picked up a pick and held it with his fingers. He liked the feeling of having the guitar in his hands. He made up some random chord and played a couple of his original chords. Some of them sounded quite good but others were just some noise. He liked the sound the guitar was making anyway. After playing the guitar and trying out a couple of chords for a while, he got bored quickly. It was not strange because he did not know any real chords or anything about playing the guitar. He placed the guitar in the case carefully trying not to break anything. When he tried to close the case, he found a photo in the inner pocket of the case. He picked it up curiously. The picture showed a band doing some kind of gig. Spike recognized that one of the band members were Angel. His look had not changed a lot. He had the same spiky hair and was wearing those tight leather pants. But something was significantly different. His eyes. His eyes was shining like those of little boy's who had seen snow for the first time in his whole life. The Angel in the next room clearly did not have those childish eyes. His eyes were dark and beautiful....but also they are full of sadness and loneliness.

"What happened? What could possibly change you so much?" Spike asked quietly. He didn't realize he was even saying it aloud. 'I wish I could see those childish smiles on you, Angel. It sometimes hurts when I look at your sad eyes....'

Spike looked closely at the picture. He recognized two of them were Doyle and Gunn. They looked slightly younger than they were now. But nothing big had changed. There were two other guys in the picture. One was the vocalist and the other was the keyboarder. The vocalist had slightly long wavy brown hair and clear green eyes. The other guy looked little younger than the other members. He had short spiky blond hair and a big smile was on his face. His eyes seemed to be staring at Angel's face. Spike just stared at the photo intensely.

"Spike?"

Spike heard a voice calling his name from behind and turned around, slipping the picture in his pocket instantly. "What??" He asked abruptly.

"I thought you might be bored by now. 'Cause I heard no noise from this room. You can watch TV or DVDs if you want. Or you can listen to some music, too. The CD's are in the racks under the CD stereo next to the TV set. Just do whatever you wanna do. Make yourself at home, Spike." Angel said sweetly. He picked up remotes of TV and DVD and put them down on the coffee table in front of the blond teen.

"Thanks. I will. So just go back to work. I don't need you to baby sit me all the time." Spike said little shyly but also demandingly. He really appreciated Angel's kindness but he never wanted to intrude on Angel's work. He knew quite well that Angel was much older than him and he had some responsibility.

"You don't?? But maybe I want to...." Angel said smiling wickedly. He patted Spike on his head gently.

Spike's face turned into bright red. He looked down at the floor and blushed redder.

"I'm just joking!" Angel said chuckling lightly at the blond teen's red face.

"Yeah.... Joking... just joking..." Spike muttered to himself trying to calm down. 'Now Angel has to think I'm a stupid bitch blushing just because he touched my hair a little.'

"Well, I guess I'm going back to work, now. My boss will kill me if I don't finish this today." Angel said lightly and walked back to his study smiling at the blond.

"Yea, Right." Spike mumbled quietly and waved his hands lightly. His face was still red from embarrassment and shyness. After a couple of minutes just standing there, he seated on the sofa and turned on the TV.

Angel walked to his desk and sat on the chair bluntly sprawling his legs. He let out a deep sigh. 'What the hell am I thinking?? He is only 16!! Sure. He's really cute when he blushes from shyness or embarrassment and he's so beautiful when he smiles. God, I'm a pervert. I can't let this feeling out. But his skin... It's so soft as if it were silk. I just wanna touch and kiss every inch of his body.... Damn. I'll need a cold shower if I don't stop thinking about him right now!!' Angel uttered a loud groan. He knew it was impossible not to think about Spike. As a matter of fact, he could not get his mind off the beautiful blond teen in the living room since he had seen him at Caritas yesterday. He sighed deeply again and tried to concentrate on his work though he had no chance at all because of the teenager.
The door to the study room opened and Spike glanced there averting his eyes from TV. He saw Angel walking out of the room. Angel smiled lightly at the younger boy.

"So what have you been doing?" Angel asked nicely. He walked up to where the blond teen was sitting.

"I've been watching re-runs of The Simpsons." Spike said shrugging a little. It was one of his favorite American shows.

"That's a good show." Angel said giving a short glance at the TV. He eyed back at the blond and said "So, you wanna go driving now?? My work's all done."

"Hell yea!!" Spike exclaimed cheerfully standing up from the sofa.

"Cool. Now, let's go." Angel picked up his keys from the counter and left the apartment followed by the excited blond teenager closely.

"Wow.... L.A has lots of cool places!!" Spike said smiling brightly at the older guy sitting next to him in the car.

They had been driving around for around 4 or 5 hours. Angel had showed Spike the Hollywood sign, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Little Tokyo, Union Station and a couple of other famous sightseeing spots in LA. They had had some good tasting Japanese food in Little Tokyo. Now they were driving alongside the coast.

"Yea. LA's the coolest place. You like it??" Angel asked glancing at the teen. He really hoped the blond liked the drive.

"Sure! I'm so glad to move here. London doesn't have this much places to go." Spike said grinning like a little boy.

"I'm glad you liked it. But we have one more place we have to visit." Angel said chuckling sweetly. He had one place he definitely wanted to take Spike to and he was sure spike would love the place.

"Where?" Spike asked. His clear blue eyes were sparkling brightly.

"Oh, I'm not telling you. You have to wait and see." Angel said in a teasing voice. He really loved to tease the younger boy.

"I can't wait! I wanna know now!!" Spike said loudly trying to annoy the hell out of Angel and make him tell where they were going now.

"No shouting works for me. So just give up and wait nicely. It's only a couple minutes away anyway." Angel said trying to calm the blond teen down. But actually he liked it when Spike acted like a little boy. It was cute, he thought.

"OK." Spike said little disappointedly. Unconsciously his lower lip pouted slightly.

Angel saw the pout on the blond teen's face and tries so hard not to lean over and kiss those red pouting lips hungrily. He turned his head to look straight and kept his eyes on the road. He wondered 'Is he doing this intentionally to make me go through the hell?? God, I wanna kiss those pouting lips so bad.'

Angel drove down the main road straight for a minute or so and turned off into a lane which led toward small woods. When they passed through there, there was a small but beautiful beach in front of them. The beach was hidden with cliffs on both ends. There were no other people around.

"God.... It's.... so beautiful." Spike gasped in amazement. He gazed at the sea excitedly. Being from London, he had never seen such a beautiful beach.

"Yeah. You wanna get a tan and swim in the beach?" Angel asked glancing at the younger man sweetly.

"Hell yea!" Spike exclaimed enthusiastically. But a thought hit him suddenly and said, "Well, I don't have a swimming shorts or anything."

"Uh... neither do I. I guess we have to use our boxers instead of swimming shorts." Angel said little hesitantly. He was not sure if he could keep his own hands away from him if the young blond was in nothing but a pair of boxers. 'There are no other options, right?'

"Yea. That'll work." Spike said as casually as possible but he was failing at the attempt miserably. His cheeks were getting red from shyness and embarrassment. 'Becoming naked in front of Angel? Hell!! I don't have a body to show him!! But it'll be awkward if I stay clothed 'cause he doesn't know I'm gay, right?'

Angel got out of the car. He took his boots off and threw them into the car. He unbuttoned his shirt and threw it in too. Then the leather pants joined them soon. Now he was in only black boxers.

Spike could not help staring at the magnificent body. The skin was well-tanned. The muscles on his body were so strong that he could see them clearly. No fat was on the muscular body. 'Oh God, oh God, oh God... Look at that torso!! He's got great six-packs! And the hard chest!! And that lean but strong long legs!! Damn. Angel is standing there only in his boxers. He just looks like some ancient Greek god. Only if I could see what is under the boxers.... Bloody Hell!! Stop thinking about Angel's cock!! Oh, God. God. God. I hope I'm not drooling staring at him like a stupid bitch.' Spike noticed Angel was now looking at his in wonder and blushed brightly red. He hesitantly and shyly started taking off his clothes.

Now, it was Angel's turn to stare. The blond teen had lean body. His skin was paler than most of the guys from LA. He did not have any fat and little too thin to compare to Angel's muscular body. Angel sighed in amazement. 'He is just perfect! He's so small and vulnerable without his clothes. I wanna hold his tightly and protect him from anything from this fucking world!!' He acted casually with all his might. He walked down to the back of the car and opened the trunk. Then he picked up two big beach towels out of it. He closed the trunk and handed one of them to the blond teen.

They walked down the beach excitedly. They stopped in the middle and spread the towels. Spike lay down on them spread-eagled and shut his eyes comfortably.

"You are not getting into the water?" Angel asked little disappointedly.

"I'm not a good swimmer actually. And I wanna work on tanning." Spike said smiling shyly. He wanted to have a tan like the other man did.

"Okay. I'll go swim a bit." Angel said and ran off into the water. It felt really good being in a cold sea. Yes. He definitely needed a cold shower, too. He swam for a couple of minutes and an idea came to him. He grinned wickedly and scooped up some water into his hands. Then he walked up to the lying teen stealthily and splashed it on his face.

"What the...." Spike opened his eyes wide and sat up straight in surprise.

Angel laughed at the young blond loudly.

Spike noticed the man standing next to him and gave him a little glare and said lightly, "You are so mean, Angel."

"Ah. Well, that's me..... Actually, that's not enough." Angel said grinning and picked the teen up and carried him over his shoulder.

"Angel!!!!" Spike shouted loudly and tried to break free. But Angel was too strong compared to him.

Angel strode into the water laughing at the teen. When his lower chest was soaked in the water, he threw the younger guy into the water. Spike fell into the water splashing hugely. Angel chuckled excitedly. He waited for a while but he could not find the young blond floating up on the water. He was now worried to sick.

"Spike?? Where are you?? Spike??" He shouted loudly trying to find the blond teen. But no sound was heard. Then he felt a strong tug around his waist from behind. He was thrown off his balance and fell over into the water. When he stood up again, he saw Spike with a huge grin on his face standing in front of him.

"You... little brat." Angel said slightly angrily in a deep voice.

"You are the one who first did it, Angel!!" Spike said and splashed some water against the dark-haired guy's face. Then he dashed away from him.

"Oh. You can't get away from me, boy." Angel said warningly and chased off after the younger guy.

Both of them were now lying on their backs next to each other on the beach towels now. They had chased each other and splashed each other till they got exhausted. They were lying there in silence.

"Hey, Angel. How did you find this place?" Spike asked quietly breaking the silence.

"When I was still in high school, I had some trouble with my foster. I just drove around kinda unconsciously and I was here when I realized." Angel said with his eyes comfortably closed and chuckled remembering the first time he came to this beach. "I just lay down here and stared away till it got really dark. This place became a sanctuary to me. I come here every time I can't take the hard life any longer. You know. This place is so beautiful and quiet. I can forget everything I hate in a minute." He said casually still closing his eyes.

"You guys come here a lot?" Spike asked glancing at the man lying next to him.

"I come here a couple of times a month but I never told anyone about here....not even Doyle or Cordy. I wanted to keep here for myself." Angel answered sweetly feeling comfortable being in the sanctuary beach.

"Then why did you take me here?? You said it was your sanctuary." Spike said sitting up. He stared at the other guy's face in wonder with those beautiful clear blue eyes.

"You are different form others. You are special..." Angel said staring back at the blue eyes intensely.

"Uh..." The younger blond did not know what to reply.

They just stared at each other as if the time had stopped. After a while, Angel sat up on his knees and toes. Then he leaned in to capture those beautiful red lips little hesitantly.

Spike was so stunned that he could not move a muscle. 'What the hell is happening?? Is Angel kissing me?? Is this real?? Or is this just a dream?? But his lips.....they feel so real. If feels so amazing. Bugger.'

No sooner had he realized Spike was not kissing him back at all than Angel backed away. 'Did I just kiss him?? Oh God. I must have scared him away... Damn it. I'm so stupid!!' Angel stood up rapidly and faced away from the young blond. He sighed and turned to glance at him and said, "I....I'm sorry.... I should never have done that.... I just couldn't help it... I'm sorry." Angel apologized looking down around his feet.

"Why are you apologizing?? You don't have to... I mean... that was what I wanted and all... I wanted you to kiss me...." Spike mumbled quietly and shyly peeking at the older guy a couple of times.

"You really wanted it?? God. 'cause I..... you just sat there so I thought you didn't like it...." Angel said hopefully and gave a sigh of relief.

"I was just shocked. That's all. I.... never imagined you liked me...." Spike said the last part hesitantly.

"I've liked you and wanted to kiss you since the first time I saw you at Caritas." Angel sat on his knees and said staring straight into the younger teen's eyes.

Spike blushed lightly and looked down. But he looked back at Angel and said shyly, "I've liked you and wanted you to kiss me since I first met you, too, Angel."

Angel cupped Spike's cheek with his hand and kissed him on the lips again. This time, Spike kissed him back eagerly circling his arms around Angel's neck tightly. Angel's hand left Spike's face and he embraced the younger man around his waist. The kiss was soft and gentle at first but it grew passionate soon. Angel opened his mouth lightly and darted out his tongue to seek the permission to enter Spike's mouth. He responded delightfully parting his lips for the older guy. Angel's tongue met that of Spike's and they danced around with each other trying to dominate. Their kissed grew hungrier as if they could not live without each other. Angel's hands moved down to cup Spike's tight ass. The younger blond shivered slightly and he felt they were both quite hard. They broke the kiss when breathing became their problem. They panted heavily. Angel rested his forehead on Spike's and smiled.

"That was..." Spike said still panting heavily.

".....intense." Angel finished the sentence straightly looking at him.

"Yea." Spike said little shyly being looking at by those beautiful brown eyes so closely.

Then they heard a loud thunder suddenly and it rained heavily. Angel and Spike stood there staring at each other still though they were soaking wet. The rain ran down their half naked bodies. Angel placed a soft kiss on Spike's forehead and led him to where the car was parked circling his arm around the teen's waist. Spike rested his head on Angel's shoulder and they walked back to the car.
