Destined To Meet Or Fated Crossings Chapter 10 Giving In Fully

Raoul listened to him play closing his eyes as Erik started to play a soft tune. Then he started to sing, and he has a sexy voice, Raoul thought blushing. He relaxed and drifted off to sleep, subconsciously he felt arms circle around him, and he was floating in the strong embrace. He felt his body now on and covered by clouds, he smiled as he sank in all cozy. He woke sometime in the early morning forgetting where he was Oh yeah, he thought…but he still didn't know where he was…all he knew was he was surrounded by crimson soft blankets.

He looked groggily around realizing he was on and in a bed, seeing Erik was on the bed too…sort of, his head was on the pillow next to his, and his back on the bed, his legs on a chair. That's sweet he thought as he got up, and gently moved Erik's legs on to the bed, pulling off his shoes, and covering him up. Raoul got back in covering up and facing towards him as he went back to sleep. In his sleep he had cuddled up against Erik's warm body, laying his head on Erik's chest, his hands making sleepy patterns on his shirt. He felt the chest in his sleep, thinking it felt nice as he drifted further to sleep.

He woke up again later, and Erik was gone, his side of the bed was still warm telling Raoul he had gotten up not too long ago. He yawned and stretched sitting up. He heard the Organ playing, and he smiled as he listened to Erik playing. He felt his stomach grumble and blushed, wondering if Erik kept food down here. He got up, and walked towards Erik, the music growing louder he smiled watching the passion written across Erik's face as he played the Organ, he's a genius, Raoul thought smiling and danced a little. The song stopped, and he pouted, he heard a soft chuckle, and he blushed slightly thinking he looked silly.

"You like that song?"

Asked Erik, raising his eyebrow, Raoul nodded he had to admit that he did like this song a lot. Erik gestured Raoul to sit down next to him, and Raoul did, blushing shyly.

"It's for you. I wrote it for you…"

Raoul looked up at him…for him? Erik smiled as he started playing again. Raoul listed blushing, as he danced a little, bumping softly into Erik's body. Erik didn't seem to mind, he kept playing. Why would someone write a song for him? That was the nicest thing anyone has ever done to him. He looked up at Erik.

"It's beautiful…but I don't understand."

Raoul admitted softly, Erik stopped playing turning towards him. Raoul felt three gloved fingers slip under his chin and gently tilt his face upwards. He blushed softly as their eyes locked together.

"Is that so? Let me clarify it for you."

Erik murmured as he leaned over and closed the space in between their faces. Raoul blushed his eyes wide as he felt Erik's strong lips connect with his soft ones. He closed his eyes relaxing into the kiss and kissed Erik back, a shy hand going behind Erik's head and dig gently into the soft ebony locks. They kissed for a few long minutes, gentle and slow, before parting for air. Raoul gazed up at Erik feeling like he had lost his brain during that kiss, snicker. They gazed at each other for a long moment.

"I've been meaning to tell you….that I have fallen in love with you, Raoul."

Said Erik softly, Raoul blushed softly. Erik's fingers ran down Raoul's jaw line softly, dancing down his neck.

"I have also fell in love with you, Erik...I was trying to tell you earlier."

Raoul said blushing. So they had both admitted that they had feelings for each other, he felt a weight lift from his chest. It was a nice feeling. He smiled and leaned up kissing Erik again, smiling as he felt Erik kissing him back. This will work out, he thought as the kiss deepened slightly. But, they still have one more optical to get over. Snicker.

Going back to the morning

When he awoke this morning with Raoul cuddling against him, Erik felt his face flush. He looked so cute when he slept, Raoul most have moved him. He gently untangled himself form Raoul after a good few minutes after enjoying the embrace. He smiled and got up, going over to his Organ and playing a song he wrote for Raoul. He should be up soon, Erik thought as his fingers stroked across the keys expertly, he knew Raoul would like it.

He heard foot steps knowing Raoul was awake, he continued playing, his eyes opening as he watched Raoul dance. It was cute he thought. He stopped playing and chuckled softly, watching him, Raoul stopped and blushed. And that's when everything unraveled.

Flash back.

"You like that song?"

Asked Erik, raising his eyebrow, Erik gestured Raoul to sit down next to him, and Raoul did, blushing shyly. Erik smirked at the blush.

"It's for you. I wrote it for you…"

Erik admitted, and started playing again. He smiled as Raoul danced a little, and he noticed their bodies bumped a little. Cute, Erik thought again. Their eyes caught.

"It's beautiful…but I don't understand."

Raoul said softly, Erik stopped playing turning towards him. He tilted Raoul's chin up, locking their eyes.

"Is that so? Let me clarify it for you."

Erik murmured as he leaned over and closed the space in between their faces. Erik closed his eyes kissing him, feeling Raoul relax and kiss back, and he felt Raoul's fingers dig gently into his hair. Smile. They kissed for a few long minutes, gentle and slow, before parting for air. They gazed at each other for a long moment.

"I've been meaning to tell you….that I have fallen in love with you, Raoul."

Said Erik softly, Raoul blushed softly. Erik's fingers ran down Raoul's jaw line softly, dancing down his neck.

"I have also fell in love with you, Erik...I was trying to tell you earlier."

Raoul said blushing. So they had both admitted that they had feelings for each other, he felt a weight lift from his chest. It was a nice feeling. He saw that Raoul smiled and he leaned up kissing Erik again, and Erik kissed him back.

End of flashback

Soon the kiss was over and they were staring in each other's eyes again. Erik saw a soft smile cross Raoul's face, and he felt his heart skip a beat. Erik took one of Raoul's hands and gently pressed it against his mask. Raoul's fingers stroked the porcelain gently as if it would break under any hard pressure. Erik smiled; he knew he needed to let Raoul see what he hid. Raoul would have to see eventually, and Erik thought it was better now then later.

"Raoul…there's something you should know…should see before we take this any further. I- I was born with a disfigured face…that's what hides under this mask. It's gruesome…it makes me...it…isn't a pleasant sight. I don't want to cause you nightmares, but you have to know. I don't want some false image in your head…can you handle it?"

Erik asked locking Raoul's eyes. Raoul smiled softly, as he peeled the mask off gently, setting it aside. He gazed calmly at the side that Erik hid from the world; he didn't seem to me scathed a bit at the site. He lifted a hand and gently touched the disfigurement, gently, still smiling. Erik normally would have flinched away from the touch, but instead he leaned into it. It seemed Raoul saw beyond looks.

"I think that you are handsome. That your imperfections make you who you, Erik, I love you for you."

Raoul whispered leaning up and kissing Erik. Erik smiled, and kissed him back, wrapping his arms around Raoul's waist protectively. This would defiantly work out, Erik thought to him self, holding Raoul close. They parted for oxygen and Erik smirked when he heard Raoul's stomach grumble. He supposed it was time to eat, he got up, putting the mask back on, holding a gloved had out towards Raoul, and Raoul took it blushing and stood. They gazed at each other a long moment, both thinking the exact same thing; what in the world did I do to deserve someone like him? Erik felt Raoul's hand squeeze his own gently as they walked through a passage in a lair leading to the outside world to get some food.
