Title: Second Chances
Disclaimer: Well, if I did own Underworld I wouldn't be writing fan-fiction now would I? Nope, hence, I own nothing. So, unless you want a popsicle stick and a cat I have nothing to give you if you sue me, so don't.
Summary: Sometime you don't get it right the first time. This is true for Kraven and Soren and now they get another chance to change what they did wrong, if they can that is.
Warnings: Okay folks, this chapter has a little bit of umm...more graphic (but not too bad) parts in this chapter. Anyway's if you don't like reading (and picturing in your mind more than what's written) maybe you can skip part of this chapter. But it's not too graphic. I don't wanna get kicked off 4: Divine Intervention
Soren stood in the chamber next to his lover as Kraven's sentence was read to him. Soren couldn't help but cringe slightly at the harshness of it all. But, they did this to themselves after all. Nothing more could be done for Kraven, his sentence was death. A tear slid down Soren's face, despite that fact that he was dead. "Are you ready to come home, my love?" Soren whispered to Kraven, touching his shoulder. "I'm here for you, don't be afraid of the end." Kraven relaxed slightly, nodding at his fate.
They led him to the same stake that they had tied Sonja to centuries before. "Look at the sun my love, it's really beautiful. Do you remember the sun?" Kraven looked for the source of Soren's voice and saw him but said nothing out loud.
'No, what's it look like?' Kraven asked in his mind, not sure if Soren could hear him.
'See for yourself, it's truly a beautiful sight. Soon we will be able to have another chance to do things the right way. No more conspiracy, no vampires or lycans, and we won't have to hide anymore Kraven we'll be free.' Kraven smiled and sighed.
As Kraven found himself tied to the stake he looked up at the door at the top of the chamber. The sunlight just behind it, ready to burn him to death. And yet, he felt no fear, only peace. Soren was standing in front of him, only inches away. His presence calmed him as he looked up into his fate. It really was beautiful, bright and so powerful. He could feel his flesh burning and yet could feel no pain.
There were no screams in the chamber from Kraven as from the other side of the door, the new council watched him burn. They didn't see the content smile on his face as he felt his soul being wrenched from his burning body.
The two of the damned souls stood by and watched as Kraven's old body burned into ashes. 'Come, my love. We can be together forever, until we get another chance at a human life.' The two lovers took hands and disappeared from the room leaving no trace that they were ever there. After all, spirits don't belong in this world, but the next.
Kraven watched as Soren slept on his lap, sharing his dream with him. It was odd, dreaming while he was awake. Even more so was that this wasn't his dream, but Soren's. Kraven sighed and leaned back. He should really be getting home soon, it's getting late.' But Kraven couldn't bring himself to wake the sleeping boy up.
His mother knocked on his door again. "Come in," he whispered, not wanting to wake Soren up.
"He's still asleep?" His mother asked, sitting next to her son on the bed. "He looks familiar somehow. He's never been over before has he?" Kraven shook his head 'no'. She smiled and kissed her son on the forehead. "I like him and I've only seen him when he's asleep."
"Thanks mom. Do you mind if he stays? I don't know when he's gonna wake up." Kraven asked, sighing. "He looks so adorable when he's asleep."
"'M not 'adorable' in any way." Soren said from Kraven's lap. "But thanks for being my pillow." Soren sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Hello Soren," Kraven mother said from the bed by his shoulder. He jumped slightly. "I'm Alaina, Kraven's mother." He nodded and sat up just a little bit straighter. "Did you enjoy your nap?"
Soren blushed, muttering a 'yes'.
"Mum, you're making him uncomfortable. Quit it," Kraven said, a smile on his face as he watched Soren blush deepen into an almost scarlet color.
"You two have fun," Alaina said, kissing each boy on the cheek twice before getting up and leaving. "And if you do decide to do anything, for goodness sakes, change the sheets." She smiled and laughed.
"Mother!" Kraven said, "I'm not a slut you know, I only just met him yesterday."
"It's not my fault, Alaina, that your son can't keep his hands off of me." Soren said, patting Kraven on the head, a smirk on his face.
Kraven looked from his mother to Soren with an open mouth. "You're all against me!" Soren closed the other boys mouth using his middle finger.
"There are easier way's to attract flies, you know K." He said, snickering. With this, Kraven slapped the other boys arm and got up off the bed in a huff. Soren and Alaina both shrugged and Soren got up and walked over to him. "K?" He didn't answer. Soren looked over at the door and found that he was alone with Kraven once again. "You're not mad at me, are you?" Kraven still didn't answer, so Soren left him alone at the window where he was standing. Soren took off Kraven's shirt and set it neatly on the bed, taking his own shirt and pulling it over his head.
He walked back to the other boy, studied his profile for a moment, and sighed. He leaned closer and kissed him on the cheek before turning and walking from the room.
The two spirits of the boys in the room saw this small conflict but didn't want it to escalate to anything more, the decided to stop it right then. "Make him -you, stay," Kraven hissed at the other one. Soren nodded and walked over to his reincarnate and close-lined him.
Soren choked and fell to the ground, unconscious from the attack on his neck. Kraven, meanwhile, thought he saw two very familiar people in the reflection of the window, and wondered if he was going insane. Then he heard the thud as something heavy hit the ground. He turned and saw Soren on the floor, and immediately all thoughts of being mad at him and his mother were gone.
"Soren!" He said, hurrying to the others side. "Wake up. What the fuck happened?" He slapped Soren lightly on the face.
Soren was stepping his reincarnates neck, cutting off his oxygen supply enough to keep him unconscious for a while. He looked over at the present Kraven who turned around and jumped over to the other's side, trying to wake him up. Soren was about to let the other him go but Kraven stopped him.
"We can't kill him, but don't stop just yet," Soren nodded, still gently standing on the present Soren's throat.
"Soren?" Kraven whispered, leaning over Soren, getting more worried by the second. "I'm sorry I was mad, please wake up," Kraven pleaded with the unconscious boy on the ground next to him. "Please," he said, almost begging.
Soren looked over at Kraven who nodded. Soren got off present Soren's neck and stood back to watch what happened, ready to step in if it happened again.
Soren choked on the air as it rushed into his lungs in a rush. "Oh my god, Soren, you're okay." He pulled the other into a bone crushing hug.
"K, please, stop, I can't breathe." Kraven immediately let go of Soren "What happened to me?"
"I don't know," Kraven said, surveying his friend as he breathed deeply. "I was worried that you wouldn't wake up." He hugged him again, this time, less forcefully. "I'm sorry I was mad,"
"You were worried about me?" Soren asked, tilting his head to one side. Kraven nodded shyly. Soren smiled, resting his palm on Kraven's cheek.
"Screw this," Kraven said, pulling Soren close to him and kissing him roughly on the mouth. Their tongues fought for dominance and finally Soren submitted, letting Kraven explore his mouth.
"Wow, this is weird, 'eh K? Watching ourselves kiss, I mean. Somehow I remember our first real kiss just a bit differently." Soren said, observing younger versions of himself and his lover making out on the floor.
"Mm, jut a bit I'd say. And I remember where it led to as well. Those whips of yours really are useful, no?" They both laughed, leaving the other versions of themselves alone for just a bit. The situation was under control now.
They broke apart, panting slightly. "Wow," was all Kraven could say as he tried to catch his breath.
"Yeah, wow." Soren agreed, kissing Kraven once more, lightly on his lips. Lips, which no doubt would be bruised soon.
"Well," Kraven said. "I guess this is a good a time as any," Kraven reached over and pulled Soren's hair away from his neck. "Remember on the bus to the movies, well, just go check in the mirror." Soren gave him a weird look, but got up and walked over to Kraven's full length mirror.
"What am I looking f-" It was then that Soren noticed the red mark on his neck. "K? You gave me a hickey, one the bus?" Kraven laughed nervously and nodded. He walked over to where Kraven was sitting and half sat on his lap. "Well then, I'm just gonna have to repay you. But not now."
Kraven's mouth dropped open. "Why not now?" He asked, pouting slightly. Soren sighed and gave in.
"Fine. You whine too much," Kraven smiled and mouthed 'I win' at him. Soren shook his head, knocking Kraven to the ground. He then attacked the other boys collarbone, gently biting him.
Kraven moaned in ecstasy as Soren used his tongue to massage the spot where he had just been bitten.
It was over far too soon for Kraven's taste and whimpered at the loss of skin to skin contact as Soren got up. He was straddling Kraven's hips, and starred down at him, a smile on his face. "I made you bleed by the way. I told you I could." Kraven reached up to his collar and sure enough, were two spots of blood on his hand when he pulled away. "And now, It seems as if I've done too much. Oh what ever will we do about your not so little problem?" Soren purred into Kraven ear. Kraven made a little squeak and looked, wide-eyed at Soren.
"Well, since you don't seem to want me to get rid of it for you, might I suggest a cold shower?" Kraven nodded, gently pushing Soren off of him. "I was joking, I'll help you out there. That is, if you don't mind the help."
"Blow me," Kraven said, being very blunt.
"Yes sir," Soren said, making his way down to Kraven's belt.
Soren and Kraven were watching themselves again. "This is better entertainment than watching Japanese porn at three in the morning, 'eh Kraven." Soren said turning to face his lover, a fiery look in his eye. All Kraven could do was nod.
Finding his voice, he looked over at Soren. "We need to try that again some time. From what I remember, you give good blow jobs Soren." Soren bowed mockingly. "Like, I don't know, now maybe."
Soren gave Kraven a once over and nodded. "Now is good."
"Where did you learn to do that? " Kraven asked upon finding his voice again. Soren shrugged, kissing Kraven's navel, his shirt having been disposed of earlier.
"Natural talent, I guess. That was the first blow job I've ever given someone."
"Well, you're pretty damn talented. Wait, 'that you've given someone'. Does this mean you've gotten them before?" Soren nodded, kissing Kraven's neck before making his way up to the swollen lips of Kraven.
"Wanna see if I can give you a better one?" Soren shook his head 'no'. "Why the hell not?" Kraven asked, looking up at Soren once again.
"Because," Soren said, getting up and handing Kraven his boxers. "I don't let guys give me blow jobs unless I'm dating them. Your loss," he said sitting cross legged next to Kraven, watching him pull his boxers on.
"What are you looking at?" Kraven asked as he locked eyes with Soren.
"You," he said simply, standing up and took Kraven's larger hand in his own.
"So," Kraven started, looking like he was deep in thought. "The only way to get into your pants is to be your boyfriend. Is that what you're saying?"
Soren nodded. "That's exactly what I'm saying. The real question is: What are you going to do about that?" Kraven smiled deviously.
He got down on one knee, took both of Soren's hands and looked him in the eye. "I don't have a ring, but I do have all the love in my heart. Will you do me the honor of being my boyfriend, Soren?" Soren kneeled down so they were at the same level and kissed his nose.
"Just so you can get into my pants?" Soren asked seriously, a cold look in his eyes.
"No, that's only a plus. Those dreams that I've been having, and I know that you've been having too are telling me that we belong together." Kraven stopped for just a second. "I know I'm too young to believe in love, and I only just met you on Friday, but if you give me a chance, I'll make sure no one ever hurts you."
Soren gave a sad smile and gently kissed him the mouth. "Okay," he said. Kraven let go of one of Soren's hands and placed his hand on the other boy's shoulder.
"Where are my pants by the way?" Kraven asked, breaking the tension. Soren pointed to a direction somewhere over Kraven's shoulder. "Oh, well. Just leave them there for now. Want a shower?" Soren nodded in agreement and they both headed to Kraven's bathroom.
Kraven pulled Soren's t-shirt over his head and kissed the hickey on his neck once again. Next came the jeans, Kraven noticed they were his he was taking off. "Already wearing my clothes are we?" They both smiled now only clad in their boxers.
"Erika was right for once." Kraven said, giving Soren a once over. "She said I would want to jump you when you were only in boxers, " Kraven explained.
"You ain't seen nothing yet," Soren said. "You're not so bad yourself, by the way." Soren raised his eyebrows in a suggestive manner.
Kraven gently pulled Soren's boxers down his thin hips. "Oh, yes, this is better." He said, surveying his boyfriend. It's nice to call him my boyfriend. He thought to himself. So are you gay now? His brain asked. Yes, I guess I always was, since I kinda got the liking of girls scared out of me a little while ago. He smiled as Soren did the same, pulling Kraven's boxers back off of him.
Their clothing on the floor, Kraven turned on the shower and pulled Soren in after he got in.
Kraven pushed Soren into the wall of the shower stall and began to ravage his neck. "Kraven," Soren said quietly, barely audible over the noise of the shower. "Favor," he reminded the other who nodded, getting down onto his knees.
"So," Kraven asked after he stood up. "How was that,"
Soren couldn't answer right away, he was still leading against the wall, using it in order to stand up. He nodded vigorously, mouthing 'good'. "You can blow me any time you want," he manage to choke out, eyes still closed. "Can you blow smoke rings?"
"Yeah, why?" Kraven asked, just a little confused.
"Me too, that's supposed to mean you can give good head, I heard from somewhere." Soren said, opening his eyes. They were bright blue, almost an electric blue.
"Your eyes," Kraven said, starring into them. "They changed shades. Their beautiful, Soren. Just like you."
Soren blushed, at the compliment. "You're not to bad lookin' yourself, sexy."
Kraven reached over and turned the shower off and giving Soren one last kiss, stepped out. He returned seconds later with a towel for each of them. "Here you go love," he said, tossing one to Soren.
They got dressed without too much more contact and went back into Kraven's room, fingers laced together.
For the third time that day, Kraven's mother knocked at the door. "You boy's decent?" She called from the other side of the door.
"Yes, mother, come on in," Kraven said. They both jumped apart when she walked in.
She smiled, "You don't have to do that you know." The two boys looked at each other and -for a change- Kraven sat in Soren's lap. "Your father's not going to be home until late, Kraven, so does pizza sound good to you boys?" They both nodded eager to get her out of the room.
She took the hint and left. "Oh, and by the way, Soren. You've got really pretty eyes, I thought you'd like to know that. They look different than they did when you first woke up," she grinned, both boys knew that she knew what they were doing in here.
When she left Kraven turned slightly. "Maybe we should be more quite next time." He said, grinning.
"Yeah, your mom's a pretty observant lady," Soren said in agreement.
"Tell me about it," Kraven said, gently pushing Soren so he was laying down, and kissing him. "You still have that ridiculous braid in your hair." Soren started clawing at it, but Kraven stopped him. "I'll get it, love." He said, taking the rubber band out of and slowly undoing the tiny braid.
"If you don't move right now, you're going to have to give me another blow job," Soren said, his voice husky. "Who knew that someone taking out a braid in my hair could possibly give me a hard on?"
Kraven laughed, getting off Soren so that the other boy could sit up. "Not that I wouldn't mind giving you another," Soren shook his head.
"One per day is my limit for now K." Kraven smiled at the boy next to him and kissed him again. Before he could pull away, Soren grabbed his shoulder keeping their lips connected.
Twenty minutes later Kraven's mother called that the pizza was ready from the steps. "Damnation." Soren muttered as both boys got up and headed for the kitchen for the pizza.
"You said it, babe." Kraven said as the pair walked into the hallway.
"Aww, we look so cute together, don't we, Soren." Kraven said, wrapping and arm around his lovers thin waist.
Soren nodded, watching the two make their way down the stairs to go get something to eat. "Do you remember what pizza tastes like?" He asked. "Sometimes, being dead sucks," he mused.
"Yes, it does, but we never get tired." Kraven said suggestively. "If you know what I mean." Soren gave a half smile and the two of them disappeared back to the next realm to have fun with Soren's whips again.
A/N: A little bit of plot advancement in this chapter. Anyways, next few chapters some good stuff happens to the boys then you can learn 'bout Soren's past. So, all you gots to do is review, or at least email me. I like feedback.
