chapter nine: thank god for anatomy class
Jack sat down heavily on the edge of his bed, to tired to care about much of anything.
And considering the day he had just had, that was something of an acomplishment. After all, it wasn't every day that you learned that people much higher in the food chain then you, wanted you dead. Ved had come to liberty bearing information that made Jack want to curl into a little ball and let the big kids handle things.
The fact of the matter was, that Mega was much more powerful then anyone had thought to give him credit for. He had been planning his takeover ever since the technos had taken control, and nobody had suspected a thing.
He had secretly hidden people on islands just off techno territory. Nobody had missed them because they were recorded in the techno database as being deleted or used in early experiments for paradise. In reality Mega had gathered a signifigent amount of people, upwards of three hundred as far as anyone knew, possibaly more.
Mega used a modified virtual reality program to get them to do what he wanted. He had a brainwashed, fully armed, army of over three hundred who would do anything that he wanted, and as if that wasn't enough, people would'nt want to fight them, because these were peoples family, and friends.
Ved didn't know exactly what Mega was planning but with this new information it was safe to assume that it wasn't anything good.
Jack was braver then most people gave him credit for, but this made him cringe. He knew people that had been taken, friends of his his, that he knew if push came to shove he would'nt be able to fight them, which was exactly what Mega must have been counting on.
When Ved had talked about the program used on Mega's prisoners, Ram had gotten a funny look on his face, and when Ved was done reporting, Ram had quietly left the room not saying a word to anyone. Jack had later found out that it was Ram who had originaly created the early version of the brainwashing program.
It was intended as an artificial inteligence, but Ram had never completed it, and had ordered it destroyed. Apprently Mega had gotten his hands on it, and modified it to suit his own purposes.
Jack knew that Ram felt responsible, not only for the program, but for not predicting that Mega was up to something more then just setting a curfew, and putting barcodes on people.
Slade had waited until Ved went upstairs, and then drank several glasses of something alcholic, stumbling up the stairs two hours later.
Jack could'nt help but wonder if they were going to be able to defeat the bad guy this time. Every other time, everything had been right in everyones faces. People knew who the bad guys were, and more or less what they were capable of, but this time everything was so much more difficult, and that wasn't even taking into account the fact that Mega had made everyone in techno territory completely dependant on him.
He layed down, and gratefully closed his eyes against the impending migraine, trying to keep his thought processes at a minmum.
Jack sat up, and looked over at his door, suprised when he heard it creaking open.
"Hi."
"Do you want to come in?"
Ram quietly walked over and sat on the edge of Jack's bed.
"I've done a lot of bad things since the virus, things that would probably make you never want to speak to me again. I was trying to make a better world, sacrifices had to be made. I really did think that what I was doing was for the best, I know that other people didn't see it that way, but I did do a lot of things that other people could'nt. I got the power back on, made sure that people had food, made medications, new technology that would make everything easier. Jay got angry with me because I wasn't doing things the way he wanted to do them. He wanted everything done right now, and I wanted to take it slowly. Admittedly my reasons were'nt entirely noble, if I gave people what they wanted all at once then they wouldnt be as appreciative, but history has made it quite clear that when people get what they want, then they get greedy, and all that would do is cause trouble."
Ram stopped for a minute, and sighed.
Jack didn't want to interupt, for fear that Ram would stop, so he just waited paitiently for Ram to continue.
"Still, I would never have done what Mega is doing now. I'm not helping you just because of my grudge against Mega, although i'm sure that's what everybody else thinks. I don't want him using my technology, things that I made to ultimatly help people, to hurt them. I just wanted you to know that."
"I do."
Ram nodded, and Jack thought that he saw relief, and gratitude in the former technos eyes.
Ram brushed his hand against Jack's in a way that Jack would have thought was accidental if it had been anyone other then Ram, who never did anything by accident. Jack's mind shot back to when Ruby, and Slade, had interupted them, wondering how far they would have gone, if nobody had intervened.
And damned if that thought did'nt make him blush something fierce.
Ram looked at him, as if wondering what was going on in Jack's head, but then he got a smirk on his face, like he knew an important secret.
Ram leaned over and gently kissed Jack's lips, in what would have been, sweet, and innocent, if he had'nt been moving his hands down Jack's chest.
Jack's breath hitched when Ram moved his lips to Jack's collarbone.
Jack felt like he had lava running through his veins wherever Ram touched him. When he felt the other boys lips touch his skin, his nerves all felt like shooting stars, and nothing with Ellie had ever been quite this good, and real.
For someone who had apparently never even truly kissed anyone before, Ram certainly knew what he was doing.
Oh, god, and there went all coherant thought, when Ram's lips crashed into his, kissing him with no apparent regard to oxygen and the fact that they both needed it.
It was sloppy and wet, and there was no skill whatsoever involved, and it was the best kiss of Jack's life.
Jack moved his hands up the back of Ram's shirt, shivering when the other boy moaned lightly. Ram ran his hands up Jack's thighs and it was like the fourth of july, pretty, sparkling, fireworks erupting from behind his closed eyes, and it had to be illegal to feel this good.
Thankfully, teenage boys, hormones, and lots of really hot kissing, and groping, don't really add up to clear thinking, because if he was thinking clearly Jack would'nt be able do do what he was doing.
Jack slipped off the bed, and moved between Ram's legs. Ram looked down and sucked in a sharp breath, eyes glazed over slightly, and Jack had never seen him like this, so not in control, and god it was hot.
Jack ran his hands up Ram's legs, pausing for a moment at the other boys belt, running his hands gently over the area just below, enjoying the uneven qaulity of Ram's breathing before continuing upwards.
smiling when he felt stomach muscles tense under his hands, and with a mind of thier own his hands pulled rams shirt up, the other boy mindlessly helping him get it off.
Having trouble breathing himself when Ram layed back on the bed pulling Jack down on top of him.
Unconciously grinding down, and gasping when he felt the results. Ram apparently had no problems with Jacks method, if him jerking his hips up was anything to go by.
Jack could tell that he really, was not going to last, which would have embaressed him more if Ram, wasn't showing signs of being close to the edge to.
A few thrusts later, and both boys were crying out, and, wow, there were the fireworks again.
Jack fell onto his side, Ram nuzzling into his side, and if Jack didn't know any better, it would almost seem as if Ram were being self concious. He looked down into the former techno's face, shocked to see a slightly hesitant look on Ram's face.
Not wanting to say anything, and potentialy screw everything up royaly, he just leaned down, and kissed Ram in what he could only hope was a reasuring way. Judging by the almost smile, that played on the boy's lips, Jack had been sucessful, so he smiled and pulled Ram a little tighter against him, quickly falling into a peaceful sleep.
