Yay, 3 day weekend! Ugh, unfortunately, it will be filled with chemistry homework. I miss one day of that class and I miss everything! Oh well, update now, homework later!

alpha2nd: Heh, family reunions are fun...if you're related to Eyes, that is. Could you imagine? Kanone's his brother and his boyfriend (well, just his boyfriend in this fic), but he's still a lucky one! Mike is definitely an idiot, and he will realize this when Kanone gets ahold of him. Yeah, Kanone was always missing because he was looking for Eyes' mom. I'll explain it now, since I never really have. First he went to Chase's and found out where Chase took Eyes from (which for some reason he remembered exactly where after 10 years...lucky Kanone). Then, he went there and didn't find Callia, but found out she had been captured by a slave owner, and it took some time for him to track her down. And on Christmas he had to go pick her up, because he didn't actually get her until Christmas morning. Hope that clears some stuff up! I got a C+ on my test, but I never really do good on tests, I don't know why. The cat's fine, he's walking around and being the regular pain that he used to be. Thanks for reviewing! (wow, that was a long response.)

Polaris18: Lol, you get him! We all need to gang up on Chase and seriously kick his ass for what he did to Eyes. I'll take it that you haven't read Fond Memories yet, I don't know which one I've been worse to him in. Probably Fond Memories, though...I don't know...yeah, probably. Anyway, thanks for reviewing, and ummm, well get those guys in the white coats, too (just for good measure.)

CeTe: Yeah, there wasn't any real reason to put Jeremy and Mike in there except to show exactly how much Eyes has grown and all that good stuff. Yep, I'll squeeze that lemon in here somewhere. I haven't written one in a while, though, hope it's good! Thanks for reviewing!

(I have to warn you all now that about half of this fic is the wonderful, anticipated lemon. There are little notes at the beginning and end of it, so if you'd perfer to skip it, go right ahead! That's about all, enjoy!)

As Kanone entered his room, the sound from the door shutting woke Jeremy up. The startled boy sat up at seeing Kanone staring at him (which can be very creepy if Kanone wants to be). Kanone saw that the boy was now awake and smiled, "Hello, there. Did you sleep well?"

Jeremy looked at Kanone for a second longer, a bit afraid, but then relaxed. He remembered what Eyes had told him, that he could trust Kanone, "I guess." He replied, looking away, not sure what to do. He didn't want to leave, but if Kanone wanted his privacy, then he would have to.

The older boy walked over to sit next to Jeremy, "Eyes told me about what has been going on with you and Mike." Kanone informed him, and saw Jeremy tense up, "Why didn't you tell me?" He continued.

"I...Mike said you wouldn't believe me." Jeremy confessed, "And he said that even if you did, you would think I was dirty and sell me to someone else. I didn't want that, so I didn't say anything."

Kanone smiled, "It's nice to hear that you like it here, all except for Mike, of course." Jeremy nodded, and Kanone continued, "I will admit that it's a bit hard to believe that Mike would do such a thing, but I don't see any reason for you to lie, and I know Eyes wouldn't lie to me. I'll deal with Mike in the morning, but for now I would like to get some rest."

Jeremy hesitated, "Do...you want me to leave?" He asked, silently beginning for Kanone to let him stay.

The latter was about to say yes, but then remembered what Eyes had said, "If I push him away now, it may ruin the rest of his life." Sighing, Kanone shook his head, "You can stay if you'd like, but keep quiet, alright?" Jeremy quickly nodded and returned to the little ball that he had been curled up in. Kanone smirked and joined the boy in bed, falling quickly asleep.

Eyes, on the other hand, was far from asleep. It was almost midnight, and he and Callia had been talking for the past two hours about everything. They both explained their stories, and what had been going on in thier lives since they had last seen each other. Eventually, the topic of Kanone came up as Eyes knew it would, "I saw him kissing you." Callia stated, slightly worried since she didn't know quite everything just yet due to the fact that Eyes had left the more vulgar part of his time at Chase's out of his story. Eyes only nodded waiting for her to continue, "He...hasn't done anything to you, has he? I mean, in return for me?" Eyes had explained that Kanone tracked down Callia as a Christmas gift.

Eyes considered his answer. Technically, Kanone hadn't done anything... yet. So Eyes simply shook his head, "No, Kanone didn't so this for his own benefit." He assured her.

This was useless, however, as she was not so easily convinced, "Eyes, people like him don't just do things for people like us. There's always a price, and I don't want you to have to pay it."

Eyes realized then that he really would have to come clean and tell her everything. About Chase, about Kanone, most likely even about Kiyotaka. He had left that little detail out as well due to the fact that he had also not told her that he and Kanone were in love, "Trust me, Kanone doesn't want anything in return." Eyes thought about this and then corrected himself, "Well, he might want something, but he would never do anything without me being okay with it." Thinking about these words, and how true they were, Eyes knew then how much he loved and trusted Kanone. To be honest, he loved having someone, there was no two ways about it; he simply loved loving Kanone.

"How can you be so sure?" Callia asked, her voice worried and uncertain.

Eyes hesitated, best to get it all out now, he supposed, "Because I would be okay with whatever he did. Mother, Kanone and I are in love. He went to all this trouble for me because he loves me."

"He... told you that?" Callia asked, but instead of amazement and wonder in her voice, there was only sadness. Eyes nodded, "Oh, Eyes, it's obvious he's lying to you. He doesn't love you, honey, he only wants to have his way with you and then throw you aside when he's done."

Eyes was shocked at his mother's words, he didn't know she could be so blunt, "That's not true. If Kanone wanted me for that, then he would have done away with me by now. He wouldn't have put in the time and money he has for me if he just wanted to use me."

This caught Callia's attention, "Money?" The balck haired woman had grown up knowing the value of every cent that she could get her hands on. If money didn't buy happiness, then nothing could. It wasn't a materialistic viewpoint she had, but a realistic one. Happiness was being with the people you loved, safe and healthy, right? Well, for Callia, a lack of money had taken away all of that. If she had had money, she wouldn't have lost Eyes, her house, or her freedom.

Eyes nodded, "You see this?" Eyes motioned to his new choker, "Kanone bought it for me for Christmas, it was $300." Callia's eyes widened at this, "He also gave me $1,000 to spend how ever I wanted to." Now her mouth was slowly dropping open, "But money's not what is important. Kanone has gone out of his way to make me happy any chance he has had. He gave me a home, he gave me a name, he showed me that I didn't have to be afraid of everything. I thought long ago that I would die at Chase's farm, but Kanone saved me. He rescued me from that horrible place, and I owe him my life because of it."

"Wait, you never spoke badly of Chase. Well, I suppose you did, but you never said that he did anything extremely horrible."

Eyes sighed, this was going to be the hardest part, "That's because I didn't want you to know about that part of my life. Even though it's been a large portion of it thus far, I'd rather not remember it."

Callia, however, didn't seem to notice her son's reluctance, "What happened?" So Eyes began to explain everything that Chase had done to him, at least everything he could remember. The minor beatings and slaps across the face weren't important enough to bring up, and Eyes didn't figure his mother needed to know about every little thing. He finally came to the last bit of punishment that Chase had given him, "I went a week without food right before Kanone came. If he hadn't, I'm certain I would be dead."

Callia tried to register all of this, "So...you're certain he loves you?" She asked, wanting to make completely sure that she could trust this man.

Eyes didn't hesitate for a moment, "I'm positive, Kanone wouldn't lie to me."

Callia slowly nodded, "If, after all you've been through, you can manage to trust Kanone so much, then I guess I have no choice but to do the same."

Eyes stood up from his seat across from Callia and sat next to her, putting his arms around her frail shoulders, "Thank you." He whispered.

She leaned her head on his shoulder, and placed a hand on his leg, "Of course. If you can be happy, then it doesn't matter who it's with. I'm just glad that you've found someone to make you this happy, and considering how hard your life has been, there's no one more deserving."

Eyes realized that Callia wasn't talking about his time with Chase, but with herself. Did she honestly feel that he hadn't been happy with her? Eyes hugged her tightly, "I don't regret any of the choices I've made, only that I had to leave you. Seeing how we've ended up, I can't help but think that it was for the best, but I still wish we had gone through the last ten years together."

These small words of comfort were enough for Callia as she closed her eyes, "What's done is done, let's concentrate on what's happening now, rather than brooding about what can't be changed, like the past." Were her final words before drifting off to sleep in Eyes' arms. The younger one easily lifted her up in his arms, and took her up the stairs to one of the spare bedrooms before laying her down. He then covered her up with the many blankets that came standard with each room, and shut off the light before exiting. He walked silently down the hall before reaching his own room.

He was about to open the door before remembering that Jeremy was in there as well. He was planning on giving Kanone his own little "suprise" (wink wink) but knew that it wouldn't happen with the youger boy still in their bed. Sighing, Eyes headed back to the room he had left Callia in, and came face to face with Kanone, "Hello, Eyes, I'm suprised to see that you're still up."

"My mother just fell asleep a few minutes ago." Eyes explained, and motioned to a door about three down from his own where he had left said woman.

"I see, so what where you doing wandering around here?" Kanone asked, knowingly simrking.

"I take it you know exactly what I was doing, but there is one little problem." Eyes pointed out.

"Jeremy." Kanone sighed, and Eyes nodded. Then Kanone grinned, and grabbed Eyes' hand, pulling him into one of the many spare bedrooms, "Problem solved." He said as he shut the door and locked it.

(WARNING:LEMON WARNING:LEMON WARNING:LEMON...this is where the lemon starts, if you couldn't tell. If any of this material offends you, feel free to skip it; I'll have another break in the story after it's finished with)

Kanone pushed Eyes onto the bed and quickly stratled him. He had been waiting a long time for this, and wasn't about to waste a moment of it. To Eyes, it had been only a couple of months that he had been holding out, but to a very horny Kanone, it had been closer to a year. Still, Eyes was worth the wait; however, now that it was over, Kanone was going to have a field day. Kanone gently kissed the boy under him while sliding his hands up his shirt, and across his silky soft skin. Eyes moaned into the kiss as Kanone slid his hands up the sides of his body, expert fingers tracing every curve of his finely sculpted body.

Breaking the kiss, Kanone looked down at Eyes, his golden orbs filled with both love and lust. Eyes looked back, his cool, blue ones filled with the same emotions as well as...fear? Was that really what Kanone had seen? It was just for a second, but he didn't want Eyes to hesitate at all, "Eyes, don't be afraid. I promise this won't hurt a bit." Kanone whispered ito his ear before nipping it and earning himself a small gasp.

Eyes nuzzled the neck that was near him, "I'm not afraid, Kanone, I trust you." Eyes assured him, though his voice was filled with uncertainty.

Not able to hold out any longer, Kanone quickly slipped Eyes' shirt off and discarded it in a corner of the room. There were still a few scars on his small body that would never fully go away, but Kanone knew what to expect; after all, he had basically bathed the boy for the first week that he was here and unable to properly clean himself due to his injuries. Kanone kissed down the pale skin, paying special attention to avoid any possibly sore spots. He felt Eyes tense a little as he reached his pant line, and immediately returned to the boy's beautiful face.

Kanone ran his hands back up Eyes' body, and continued up his arms which he moved to above the boy's head. Gently holding his hands in place, Kanone began kissing the tender skin on the underside of his arms, then finally returning his attention to Eyes' perfect lips. Feeling the boy completely relaxed once again, Kanone continued kissing him and released his hands, which instinctively came to place around the older boy's neck to pull him in closer. Seeing that Eyes was concentrating on the kiss, Kanone moved his hands south, skipping the upper body entirely as to not draw too much attention to them. He finally reached his destination, which just happened to be Eyes' pants. He easily and secretively undid the single button on the bothersome clothing, and moved to the zipper.

This, however, caught Eyes' attention, and he broke the kiss. He looked to Kanone for a second, but not sure why he was hesitating. This was what he wanted, wasn't it? Of course it was, so why wasn't he just going along with it? Kanone looked at him questioningly, and Eyes looked away in shame. Would he even be able to go through with this? He was scared, but why? He knew Kanone wouldn't hurt him, but...the only sex Eyes had ever had was Chase raping him. This, for all purposes, was like his first time. He was still mentally a virgin, so it was only reasonable that he would be nervous.

Kanone seemed to realize this, and softly kissed him, "Eyes, you can always tell me to stop. If this gets to be too much for you..." He was cut off by said boy kissing him, letting him know that he truly did want this. Sensing this, Kanone continued to remove the pants that soon joined the discarded shirt. Only his boxers were left, and Kanone tugged on the waistband, silently asking for permission. Eyes moved his hips slightly into the touch, granting entrance. Kanone didn't need to be told twice and made quick work of the constricting clothing.

Kanone pulled away from their current kiss to gaze upon Eyes' body. Sure, he had seen him fully naked before, but this was different in so many ways. It had always been in the bath, curled up in a little ball, never laying beneath him looking so incredibly tempting. The mood that had been set was also different. Taking a bath wasn't exactly sexy in itself, but seeing his soon to be lover pinned beneath him, looking at him trustingly and both wanting their release... Kanone had never looked at Eyes this way before; it was addictive. Not to mention that the bath water had done Eyes no justice whatsoever. Seeing him now, as aroused as he was, Kanone could barely contain himself. He knew he had to, though, since if he messed this up, it was likely that Eyes would never trust him again.

Eyes moved a little, starting to feel uncomfortable under the hungry gaze. Not to mention it was a bit embarrassing to have Kanone just staring at his completely naked body while the other was still completely clothed. Deciding that something needed to be done about this, Eyes tugged a little on Kanone's beltloop, letting him know to hurry up. Kanone got the message loud and clear and quickly removed his shirt. The rest of his clothes weren't far behind, and soon he was looming over Eyes, grinning at the slightly shocked expression on his boyfriend's face. Unlike Kanone, Eyes had never seen the other in all his naked glory, and he had a lot to look at. Kanone didn't like to toot his own horn, so he was glad that Eyes did it for him, "You're..." Was all it took before Kanone was kissing him again.

"Don't worry." He whispered, "I told you I wouldn't hurt you, and I have no intention of breaking that promise." Eyes swallowed once before returning his gaze to Kanone's face and nodded. Wiping the confident smirk off his face, Kanone got a more serious expression and began kissing Eyes once again. His hands traveled to new and much more interesting territory, letting a single finger trace along Eyes' length. The boy gasped at the sudden contact, before relaxing into the wanted touch. Kanone moved even further down, ghosting his fingertips along the younger one's inner thighs before moving to his target. A single finger came to rest right before Eyes' entrance before Kanone gave him one last questioning look, one last chance to back out.

Eyes moved his hips in the same motion as before, urging Kanone on. The latter obeyed, and easily slipped one digit inside of his boyfriend. Eyes made no sound and only moved slightly to adjust to the intrusion. Seeing that he had no objections to this, Kanone slid another finger in. A slight whimper came, but no other protests, and even some encouragement in the form of Eyes trying to move closer to Kanone. A final finger joined the others, and this became a problem. Eyes whimpered loudly and shut his eyes which had been filled with shocked pain right before they closed. Kanone made no movement and after a second, kissed Eyes lightly, "Are you alright?"

Eyes didn't respond right away, but eventually nodded, "Just... give me a minute." He whispered, trying to adjust.

Kanone leaned down and kissed his neck, "Take your time, I'll be here all night." Kanone joked, trying to take Eyes' mind off the pain he seemed to be going through. Despite having promised such a thing wouldn't happen, Kanone knew that some pain was inevitable. Luckily, Eyes was smart enough to realize the same, and only accepted the words as Kanone promising him as little pain as possible.

After a few more agonizingly long seconds, Eyes moved his hips once again, this time pushing Kanone's fingers in a little farther. Instead of a whimper, though, Eyes let out a small moan at the sensation. He made a small protest, however, when Kanone removed his fingers. He looked to the boy who was staring back at him, "Are you ready?" Kanone asked softly, not wanting to ruin the mood.

Eyes nodded, and after a second felt Kanone enter him fully. He made a strange sound that resulted from a mix of pain and pleasure as Kanone forced himself inside the still slightly tight boy. He quickly adjusted to this, though, and sighed as he knew from experience that the worst was over. Kanone started to thrust in and out slowly as to give Eyes time to adjust to him being inside. The pace was all but unbearable for Kanone, but somehow he managed to keep it slow and steady until Eyes urged him on once again.

Moving faster and faster with each thrust, Kanone finally hit that sweet spot inside his lover that made the younger one throw his head back and cry out in pleasure. Kanone continued to hit that spot over and over again, until he could tell that Eyes was close to his climax. The boy's breaths were getting shorter and harsher, as he panted some partially intelligent words, "Kanone...I...I'm..." Soon the words became soft moans, then those became slightly louder. Kanone felt himself getting close as well, and kissed Eyes as he thrust in once more, driving them both over the edge. It was a good thing the two mouths were covering each other, otherwise the entire house might have been woken up by their screams of passion. Kanone gently pulled out of Eyes, and collapsed on the bed next to him, both panting and covered in a thin layer of sweat.

(END LEMON, END LEMON, END LEMON...those of you faint of heart may start reading the not so vulgar portion of my fic again, starting...now!)

Kanone eventually managed to slow his breathing, and glanced over to see Eyes struggling to do the same. After he achieved this goal, the silver haired boy yawned and rolled over to wrap an arm around Kanone and lay his head on the sturdy chest. Kanone just chuckled as the younger one closed his eyes and snuggled up to the other, "Goodnight, Eyes." Kanone whispered before kissing the top of his silver head.

Eyes let out a content sigh, "Goodnight, Kanone, Merry Christmas."

Heh, and I still managed to throw a tiny portion of fluff in there. Oh, don't worry, this isn't stopping here. Like we couldn't have figured that, right? Sigh...well, what did you think? It's been a while since I've written one of these things, and even then I never got any feedback on them, so I really don't know how good of a lemon I write. I hope it was sufficient, though, review!
