Chapter four:

Weeks have passed.

X-ray never really leaves the apartment only stepping just outside of the apartment on a rare moment but he's been hanging out mostly in his room. He definitely seems more withdrawn than before and it doesn't show any signs of stopping. He hasn't even spoken a word to the others in a week!

Vav had hoped that he would come around in time but he is starting to wonder if that won't happen.

Currently all of their friends except for Mogar are in the apartment.

X-ray walks away from the kitchen as he probably had only one piece of toast to eat. He makes it into his room leaving the door open.

"Enough is enough." Vav says.

"What are you going to do?" Hilda asks as the three turn to Vav.

"I'm going to find the Mad King." Vav states with a determined look. "You know. To search for an embrace to help X-ray. It is time to break these heavy chains that have wrapped around X-ray!"

"Vav the Mad King is a villain." Hilda points out. "Just give X-ray some more time. He'll recover. It's for the best."

"I can't stand seeing him like this." Vav tells them in a tone that tells them that he won't back down. "Maybe this can be an exception." He goes to grab X-rays wrist before he can flop onto his bed. "Come on." He tells the other who hadn't been listening and begins dragging him out of the apartment.

X-ray stumbles after him following him though its not like he has much of a choice.

The other three watch the two head off now silent.

Vav looks around as they hurry along but he isn't spotting the Mad King. "Where is he?" He questions himself as he keeps looking with X-ray being taken along for the ride. "He's gotta be here." He keeps looking then he slows to a stop as his eyes land upon the person he's been looking for standing in the alley. "Aha!" He heads in that direction he releases X-ray who just ends up leaning against the wall by the entrance of the alley though out of sight of the alley; X-ray doesn't seem to have paid attention at all just letting Vav drag him around and he still looks lost in his own world. He approaches the person who doesn't seem to notice right away. "Mad King?"

The Mad King blinks in surprise then turns to find Vav. "What is it?" He asks seeming too tired to even sound a little annoyed.

"I think I should apologize." Vav tells him.

The Mad King blinks in confusion.

"I should have known better. I should have known that the villain was wrong. That maybe there is exceptions to the rules." Vav begins and the Mad King listens to what he has to say. "Sure they say a hero and a villain can't be together. But I believe they've just never seen the true love that you share with X-ray before. I can see just how bad being split up from him affects you by just looking at how you are now." He explains moving a step or two closer. "So I think that you and X-ray can be together. That you being together is for the best and not that you should be split up just because of the rules."

The Mad King smiles softly. "Thank you." He says.

"Don't make me regret this." Vav warns.

The Mad King chuckles softly only for a very quick moment. "You sound like X-ray when I first offered my friendship to him. But don't worry I won't if I can help it." He responds and picks up a folded piece of paper.

"Good." Vav glances back to the direction he left X-ray in before turning back to the other. He moves around behind him and gently pushes him from behind to encourage him in the direction of where X-ray should be. "Then go on. Go get him back."

The Mad King smiles more and heads towards the entrance of the alleyway.

Vav watches with a soft smile on his face. He moves closer to watch and listen without interrupting.

The Mad King glances around now outside of the alley then spots X-ray who still seems to be a little lost in his own world with his head down. He moves over to him though X-ray doesn't raise his head. "Dear rose."

X-rays head looks up quickly and he meets the Mad Kings eyes.

They both can see that splitting apart has truly affected the other badly making them feel some relief that it isn't just them.

"Ry." X-ray gasps slightly.

"Listen to me please." The Mad King says almost pleadingly. "I've wanted to tell you. To show you that the rules don't have to matter." He begins. "But I also wanted to respect your choice if you wanted some time away. I was going to wait for as long I had to for me to be able to see you again." He continues not breaking the locked gaze with the raven. "I made you this." He offers the folded paper to X-ray who glances to it then takes it gently.

X-ray notices that the folded paper is in the shape of an envelope with a little heart sticker on the tip of the triangle. He also sees two roses taped like an X on it and that they are real. He curiously opens it carefully glad that the roses stay on and begins to read the words written on it.

My dear rose.

I'm sorry that I'm not a hero.

But it pains me to be away from you.

If you'd let me back in I'll show you just how much you mean to me.

You are my moon and stars shining through the darkness of night.

You are my midnight angel because you bring light and happiness into my world even in the dark times.

If you'll give me one more chance I'll show you that words cannot begin to describe how much I love you.

You are my world. My soul. My heart.

I cannot live without you so while I may be a villain I can only hope that you'll take me back.

Because with you by my side I feel like we can do anything.

You are my heaven.

Because you is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

So shine your light through my darkness once again my dear rose.

I'll gladly stay at your side. If you'll have me.

I love you. Please take me back.

Love your Ry.

X-rays eyes become watery after reading this.

"Rose." The Mad King says in slight worry but the worry vanishes when X-ray throws his arms around him.

"I'm sorry!" X-ray cries to him. "I'm so so sorry! I didn't want to leave! I didn't want to!" He sobs and the Mad King embraces him.

"It's okay. Dear rose dry your eyes." The Mad King assures him. "I'm still here. You're still here. I may not be perfect myself but I swear I'm perfect for you."

X-ray smiles. "Thank you." He sniffles.

Vav smiles and glances away towards the sky though he can see the top of the building from where he is leaning against a wall. "I don't think I'll regret this decision." He says mostly to himself.

Two years later...

X-ray and the Mad King who goes by Ryan especially with X-ray have proven to the world that they can be perfect for each other.

Anyone who doubted their relationship when it was found out about was quieted after watching the two and how happy they make each other.

Ryan has not caused trouble which helped as well. He's mostly been focusing on his relationship with X-ray instead. He's practically moved into X-rays apartment with him. He walks towards the kitchen where X-ray is trying to decide what should be for lunch. He smiles and moves further into the room going up behind the other wrapping his arms around his waist.

X-ray smiles and leans into the embrace. "Hey." He greets the other as he slightly glances to him.

"Hello." Ryan greets back and kisses X-rays cheek.

"I'll figure out lunch soon here." X-ray says turning back to the counter that has a cook book and a phone book on it mostly side by side so X-ray can look at them.

"Mm. Later." Ryan says getting X-ray to turn back to him. He kisses him on the lips and their eyes flutter closed as they passionately kiss.

When they break apart it's for air.

X-ray turns to make sure that he's facing the other. He reaches up cupping Ryan's face in his hands and steals another quick kiss only to look at him with hooded eyes. He is mostly leaning against the counter with Ryan being so close that their bodies are pressed together.

Ryan smiles seductively. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" He asks.

X-ray smiles. "Mm. Yeah. Is that your way of seducing me?" He questions.

"Maybe." Ryan smiles with fake innocence causing X-ray to laugh slightly.

"Well it worked lover boy." X-ray kisses the edge of Ryan's mouth. "Claim me once and for all as only yours to ever have."

Ryan grins then scoops X-ray up to hold him bridal style carrying him off to the bedroom. He gently lays X-ray down on the bed before climbing on top of him. He kisses him with love and passion and X-ray kisses back with just as much love and passion. His hand slides down sliding underneath the top half of X-rays hero outfit. He pushes it up as his hand slides along X-rays soft skin. He gently plays with a nipple receiving a pleasured moan from the raven who arches slightly into his touch.

"Ry!" X-ray moans.

Ryan licks X-rays lips asking for permission to enter.

X-ray all too happily grants it and as he begins making out with the other he wraps his legs around his waist.

Ryan begins grinding down against X-ray pulling more moans from him.

Their tongues wrapping together in a dance of love and passion.

When they break apart it's for air and as they pull away a string of saliva connects them but it ends up snapping in half.

Ryan strips X-ray of his outfit as X-ray moves to help with it before going back to the position he was in before still on his back. Now that X-ray is naked underneath him Ryan sits up enough to strip himself of his shirt.

X-rays eyes skirt over Ryan's torso and he can't help but lick his lips likening what he sees. He reaches towards Ryan's pants beginning to undo them. He does so while mumbling about too much clothing.

Ryan kicks his pants off and X-ray finds that he is not wearing boxers making him smile. He planned this. He leans down and places a gentle kiss against the corner of his lovers lips. He then raises three fingers up to the others lips. "Get them nice and wet babe."

X-ray slightly nods then takes the others fingers into his mouth running his tongue over them as he sucks on them getting them as wet as he can.

Ryan kisses X-ray's neck as this happens then when he feels that they are wet enough he removes them from X-rays mouth. He moves up from his ravens neck and his eyes flicker down as he brings his fingers to the others entrance.

"Hurry." X-ray gasps feeling the very tip of one finger slightly penetrate him. "Please. I need you."

"It'll be okay. You'll get what you want." Ryan assures X-ray then he slips two fingers into the other getting a slight moan.

X-ray shifts slightly as he adjusts to the feeling of the others fingers while Ryan works them in and out. He slightly arches his back with another moan when Ryan spreads his fingers apart opening X-ray up. "Oh!"

Ryan's eyes move to X-ray's face. "Is this still okay?" He asks.

X-ray nods. "Yes. Please. Another. I don't know how much longer I can wait." He begs of the other.

"Okay." Ryan nods softly and adds the third finger only to begin opening X-ray more getting more moans. He does this for a few more moments then removes his fingers getting a whine of loss from his lover making him chuckle softly. "Don't worry. What you've been longing for will be there soon." He assures him then he spits onto his hand only to spread it onto his cock as best as he can.

X-ray opens one of his eyes, he doesn't remember closing them as Ryan pleasured him, and his mouth waters at the sight of Ryan's cock. He feels a shiver of pleasure jolt through him in anticipation as Ryan lines himself up with X-rays entrance causing him to close his one eye again.

"Ready?" Ryan asks then when he gets a nod he pushes inside.

X-ray throws his head back with a moan as he feels the other penetrate him.

Ryan pauses once he is fully inside but X-ray opens his eyes half way looking at his lover.

"Please don't stop."

Ryan smiles then pulls out until it's just the tip inside before thrusting back inside pulling pleasured moans from the other. He continues this moving a little slowly but rather hard as it so far is getting good moans.

But X-ray couldn't stand the slow pace for too long and before his brain can process what he is about to say his mouth speaks. "Faster!"

"What you say dear rose?" Ryan moans and reaches up gently griping X-ray's chin with a grin as he meets the ravens eyes telling X-ray that he heard him but he wants to make him repeat it.

"Please fuck me faster." X-ray pleads with him.

"Of course my dear Ray." Ryan says then their eyes flutter closed as their lips seal together in a heated kiss where no tongue is needed to make it a deliciously heated kiss. He begins going as hard and as fast as he can possibly go pulling loud moans from X-ray while he begins moaning himself.

Their moans mixing together even as they mostly break the kiss so their lips are now only brushing against each other. Their warm breaths ghosting over the others lips just right to make them tingle with pleasure.

"Oh yes!" X-ray moans out arching his body and it fits perfectly with Ryan's. "Please keep going!" He then lets out an almost shout of pleasure when Ryan strikes his sweet spot. "There!"

"Here?" Ryan thrusts into the same spot again pulling even more delicious loud monas, that are almost shouts, from X-ray.

"YES! There!" X-ray moans and he begins moving with Ryan's movements which manage to pull more moans from him. He finds Ryan's moans are such a turn on for him that he wants to hear it over and over again.

All too soon for them they are reaching their peak.

"Gonna… Gonna cum!" X-ray moans almost unable to even get the words he is wrapped in too much pleasure.

"Go ahead." Ryan responds.

With Ryan's nose brushing against the skin next to X-rays own nose they both close their eyes tightly moaning each others names as they cum. Ryan cumming inside of X-ray and X-ray cumming on their chests and stomachs. They remain there panting and sweaty as they enjoy their orgasmic high together in a world of pleasure and love just for them.

Once they begin coming back to Earth as they catch their breaths Ryan pulls out of his lover.

X-ray can't help a breathless moan as he feels some of the others cum dribble out of him.

Ryan lays down next to X-ray pulling him close as X-ray snuggles against him when he pulls him against him. "Rest my beloved." He says in a gentle hushed tone.

"I love you." X-ray manages to mummer before he falls asleep.

Ryan smiles lovingly and kisses X-rays forehead. "I love you too."

The end.
