Please remember the not owning part.

Hello!

Just wanted to explain something really quick. I adore the character Warren from the movie, but a lot of you need to realize that we only saw a snapshot of who he was. We saw his anger, his strength, his intelligence, his compassion towards Layla, his courage, and his loyalty to Sky High. I felt that there was so much more to Warren. Remember, the movie ended with Homecoming, which would have been in the fall. Will claimed that Warren became his new "best friend" which means that Will was able to see more of what a wonderful person Warren really was in the course of the year.

This story touched on Warren's gentler side. I know a few "bad asses" who had very gentle personalities with the people they loved. It was on these friends that I based Warren. If some of you don't like my characterization then that's great. Write a better story so I can read it! I'd love to read good fiction. Get out there and write it!

Read what you enjoy folks!

Love ya,

Fiery Peace

Part 9

There had been a whirlwind of changes in my life over the last 72 hours. All this time I had been denying that I could ever love Will Stronghold and all along I had already fallen for him. How ironic is that? Will and I had consummated our love for one another which led to Will and I skipping school on Friday. Unfortunately, while I had gotten permission from my mom to not go to school, Will had not. While his parents were happy that we had made up from our spat over gym, they were not happy that he hadn't told them that he wasn't going to school. His parents accepted his excuse of staying with me since he too was exhausted, but his parents still grounded him for the weekend.

Will had been upset that he and I would be separated so soon, but I assured him that everything would be fine. I was able to use the absence of Will to really evaluate what I felt for the young man and found that I was undeniably in love with him. Now doesn't that beat all? Now here I lay in my bed on a Sunday night missing my lover.

"Good Lord," I snorted to myself in amusement, "Who would have ever thought that I, Warren Peace, would ever use the term 'lover?'"

A small noise made me look to my window to see none other than Will Stronghold smiling in at me. Surprised, I quickly padded over to let him inside.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him in shock after he gave me a toe-curling kiss hello, "You are grounded. You are going to get yourself into a world of trouble. I don't need the Commander and Jetstream on my ass."

"I told them you needed me," Will said happily as his hands began to rove and pull at the waist band of my sleep pants, "They said as long as I end up in school Monday they trust me and I felt that you were missing me too."

"Will stop!" I said softly batting his hands away from me in irritation as I picked up on his erotic emotions.

"What? Why?" Will as confused, "I've missed you. You…you haven't changed your mind have you?"

"No Will," I said seeing his crestfallen face and feeling his hurt emotions, "But I don't want every moment of us together to end up with my legs over your shoulders. There is more to having a relationship than having sex. Plus, my mom is in the next room."

"Oh. Yeah," Will said softly which made me chuckle.

"I have missed you too. Hold me while I sleep," I coached pulling him to get in bed and smiling as he snuggled against me.

"Warren?" Will asked me softly, "Now what?"

"What?" I said confused turning to peer at him in the darkness.

"What I mean is, we are together now, but what do you want to do about letting others know?" Will asked me.

"Oh," I said softly, "I don't mind if you want to tell our friends and family. They won't make a big deal out of it, but I don't think it would be wise to share with the whole school. I don't want your reputation to be hurt."

"I don't care about my reputation," Will huffed, "I only care about you and will follow your wishes."

"Will. I have no problem if you want to tell the world," I said gently, "But there are a couple of things that I feel that you should consider. You or I could be used as a weakness against the other person. Plus, even though sexual preference is being more and more accepted throughout the world there is still bigotry that we would have to face. I have no reason to believe that we couldn't handle the bigotry, but it would affect our families and our friends. I don't think that is fair to them."

"Your right," Will said sadly, "I would die if anything happened to you because someone was trying to get to me. And I don't want our family or friends to be affected by this, but I never thought we would have to keep our relationship a secret."

"It's not a secret," I assured my lover, "It's our private life that nobody has any business knowing. Even if we came right out and told everybody, you do know that I would go on a fiery rampage if you ever tried to get all lovey-dovey on me in public don't you."

"I had no doubts in my mind," Will chuckled, "I wasn't planning on dying a fiery death anytime soon."

"Will?" I asked puzzled as I reached into his sweatpants pocket, "What's poking me?"

To my surprise, I pulled out a rather large tube of cinnamon flavored lube. All I could do was stare at the tube in open-mouthed shock.

"Oh…well…um…I was given that as a gag gift from Maj for my birthday," Will said with a blush that I could see in the darkness, "I thought we could put it to some use."

"Oh," I laughed softly as Will's wanton thoughts broke down my resolve, "I'll only go back on my word this time."

Will grinned wolfishly before pouncing on top of me. Leave it to my lover to make me eat my words about my legs winding up over his shoulders, since he took me for the first time from behind. He and I were very quiet in our doings and fell asleep almost immediately afterwards.

"At least I do my own laundry," I thought to myself with amusement before dozing off.

The next morning, Will and I got up and took a joint shower before my mom woke up. Will had brought his book bag but had forgot to bring a change of clothes for school. I loaned him some of my outgrown clothes that would fit him relatively well.

"I feel so bad ass," Will joked as he model his blue shirt with flames going down the sleeves and black jean ensemble for me.

"Yeah. You're a real tough guy," I joked back with him, "Now go out my window and ring the doorbell so my mom doesn't suspect that you spent the night without her permission."

"Yes sir!" Will saluted before flying out the window.

My mom, who had gotten up while we dressed, answered the door and let Will in with a big grin. She bustled him in and had Will and I sitting down to a large breakfast in no amount of time.

"You two have a good day at school," she chirped at us as we walked out the door, "Oh, and Will?"

"Yes ma'am?" Will responded as he and I turned to see what my mom wanted.

"You ever hurt my baby and you'll find out what powers I have," she said evenly with a smile, "Don't be late for the bus Sweethearts."

Will and I stood in stunned silence as my mom closed the door.

"Wha…when…how did your mom know?" Will asked me in a panic, "Did you tell her?"

"Empath," I said with a smile as feelings of relief bubbled within me, "She must have picked up on your emotions last night."

"My emotions?" Will snapped, "Why only mine?"

"I was able to figure out how to shield my emotions over the weekend. You on the other hand were practically howling out your lusty emotions in my head. Mom must have heard and understood."

"I'll never be able to look at Ms. Peace without turning red again," Will moaned as I dragged him to get on the bus.

"Well, hello," Layla greeted us as Zach, Magenta, and Ethan looked on, "It looks like the two of you have made up. And where were the two of you on Friday?"

"None of your business," Will said smugly sitting down beside of me.

"Hey Will," Maj said quietly as she leaned over Zach and smirked at the two of us, "Aren't you wearing Warren's clothes?"

I leaned over Will and purred dangerously into Magenta's face, "What if he is?"

Magenta looked shell-shocked until I gave her a small wink. Layla was grinning openly and the others quickly caught on.

"This is our private life," I warned our friends, "We don't want to let the world in yet for many different reasons."

"No problem," Zach laughed, "We wouldn't want to risk your wrath."

"Damn straight," I said chuckling as Layla reached over and gave my lover a hug.

Will looked over at me and caught my eyes with his own blue ones. They shone as bright as the sky with happiness. I guess my fortune was right. Only time told me what was in my future and looking at him, I have never been more content than I am right now. Who would have thought that the son of a super villain could find happiness? And if one person calls me or my lover a pansy, I'll show them just how "flaming" I can be.

To be continued.

Review. I'll be nice and go ahead and give you the epilogue since I will be away for the weekend.
