The two demons appeared in the bright florally decorated quarters of Raenef, with the older demon still leaning on the young lord. "Master Raenef, this is not my room. Why did you bring us here?" Eclipse asked quietly. "Do you not know how to get to my room?" Seeing the faint blush creep up the boy's face was answer enough. Eclipse smiled faintly in response.
"I don't, but that isn't the main reason I brought you here. I didn't even know if you had a bed in your room, 'cause you never seem to sleep," the boy replied sheepishly.
"Master," began Eclipse, "to my knowledge all creatures must sleep at least for a little while, but you are correct in the assumption that I do not own a proper bed. It is more of futon."
"Please quit calling me that." Raenef begged. "Anyway you can sleep in my bed tonight. I'll take the couch in the library. Gods know that I've slept there enough."
By this time they had reached Raenef's bed and he was helping Eclipse to sit on the edge. As he turned to get Eclipse something to wear to bed, he heard the older man say, "Master Raenef. . ."
"You know what," Raenef snapped, sounding like a demon lord again, turning back to Eclipse, "the next time you call me that, and every time from now to eternity, I am going to ignore you. At least until you learn to drop that damn title. Now," he said more kindly, "what did you want to tell or ask me?"
"Ma. . ." Eclipse stopped as Raenef turned away, "umm. . . Raenef, you don't have to sleep on the couch. We can ummmm share the bed." What the hell are you thinking you fool? The Dark Eclipse yelled at him. How can you say that?
Tonight I learnt that life, yes even demonic life, is too short for this "must hide my true feelings" crap. Tonight I will find out how he feels for me and deal with the consequences.
What if he hates you and sends you away? You are aware that could happen, right?
Then I will slowly die, but anything is better than this.
"What do you mean by that?" Raenef asked slowly. His beautiful blue eyes clouded with confusion. "You can't mean what I think you mean. It's impossible I have to be dreaming." What am I thinking I have had many bedroom type dreams about Eclipse, but I have never tried to kill him, in a dream before.
Maybe you not dreaming stupid, the Dark Raenef said.
Impossible, Eclipse isn't interested in me that way.
As this last thought hit, sorrow crept unto his delicate features, leaving Eclipse with the sudden urge to take the younger demon into his arms and kiss away his fears. So, going with his new thoughts on what should be done with time, he impulsively forced himself to his feet, his cat-like grace leaving him for once, closed the space between them in two long strides, and took his lord into his arms before those damn voices in his head could start up again. He moved in to kiss the tender lips of the smaller boy, but stopped a few centimeters from it thinking, If he wants me to kiss him, he will execute the kiss. . . if not, hell I will anyway. At least that way I would have one memory to hold to.
When Eclipse first rose and began to move toward him, Raenef was shocked but as soon as he was in Eclipse's strong arms, pulled so close to his finely-muscled chest, all surprise melted away and was replaced by the desire to kiss the tall, dark demon. When Eclipse moved in to kiss him, and he felt their breath mingling he knew that he had to kiss him. When Eclipse paused, Raenef, worried that he might be reconsidering the decision, closed the gap and gave Eclipse a tender, tentative kiss.
The kiss, though short, expressed such longing that Eclipse was so stunned he almost pulled back. He had had no idea that his young master had wanted him that badly, for that matter he had not know that his master had wanted him at all. Once the shock wore off he returned Raenef's gentle kiss with a more potent one of his own.
When the two finally surfaced for air, somehow they had moved back to the bed and Raenef was bare-chested with his hair cascading around his shoulders like a gold crested wave, while Eclipse's own raven locks had come unbound and were contrasting wonderfully with his pale skin, of which there was quite a lot of which visible due mainly to the fact that his robe was open to the waist and almost off his shoulders. Raenef was looking at him with eyes that were sparkling in ways that a demon lord's never should, but at the moment Eclipse didn't give a damn what anyone else thought, hell his probably looked about the same.
He went ahead and shrugged his robe the rest of the way off his shoulders enjoying, as he always did, the way his silky hair felt against his bare skin, regretting this action at once. Because Raenef, seeing the scar left from where Chris had healed him, immediately became apologetic, mumbled something inaudible, and teleported away. "Damn," Eclipse whispered, smacking the bed. He laid down covered himself with the blankets and went to sleep and dreamt about what would have been.
"What was I thinking?" Raenef cried desperately. "He's going to hate me in the morning. That was way too forward of me." He did kiss you back. So he wants you too. "Whatever," he mumbled to himself and rolled over so he was facing the back of the couch and fell into dreams about a certain dark-haired demon.
