Eric's House

Saturday, 1109hours

My new glasses rocks! I'm glad no casualties happened to it during our, uhm, body reaping last night. I got lucky this morning too. Alan seemed to be in a good condition these past few days. He's still coughing occasionally, but his complexion looks fine.

I sat down on the floor and leaned my back to the bed. I lit up a cigarette and put it between my lips. Alan shifted under the covers; I felt the movement of the mattress. A head emerged next to me. Alan sat up on the bed with the covers still on his back.

He started touching my ears, gently caressing the lobe and tracing my piercing. Does he have ear fetish too? I wonder. I'm not complaining. Even if he does, all of his fetishes will come back to me. My glasses, my piercings, my hair…me. I'm just that confident.

"I always wondered…" Alan spoke. "…why did you turn blond? You're not blond when we first met."

Hmm…how should I answer this? Although blond was not my original hair colour, dark brown was not as well. I don't remember what I naturally am.

"What colour do you want it to be?" I asked him back. "Raven, platinum blond or ginger, perhaps?"

Alan shook his head. "No, this is nice." He decided, planting his lips on top of my head.

"So you like my villain look?" I turned around so that he could take a closer look.

Rusty blond hair with partial black dreads, full-ear piercings, super cool goatee and a disheveled look is my signature style. Compared to Alan, I'm the type that would be in William T. Spears' black book. Heck, not just him, I think I should be in everyone's black book.

"I don't think you look like a villain. More like, the unorthodox knight in fairytales." Oh Alan, so naïve. Why do you have to say that to a perverted guy like me?

"Unorthodox knight, huh?" I grinned. "What are you then? The damsel in distress?"

"I'll settle with being the knight's sidekick."

"Hmm… shouldn't the knight and his sidekick have a special symbol?"

"Like what?"

"Like piercings….you like them, don't you? You've been touching mine since just now."

Alan took his hands away from my ears and cupped his own. "I don't like pain." He said, trying to eliminate the possibility of getting his ears pierced.

"It's not that bad. The pain will be gone in a flash." I coxed him. I elevated myself from the floor to meet his height on the bed. Alan was still cupping his ears adorably. I pulled his hands away, exposing his ears.

"Eric, no!"

"Why does it sound like you're reprimanding a mutt?" I chuckled, ignoring his alarming tone. What do you expect? He's in my bed. Do you think I would give in to that? So I kissed his left ear. He must be blushing because it suddenly turned red. Didn't I always say that this guy is so cute?

"It'll hurt!" Alan protested. Sweetie, I'm not going to do it for real.

"I'll be gentle." I whispered. Aren't I always? Maybe that's why when I bit his earlobe, Alan was tense at first, then, he managed to relax. "See, I told you it doesn't hurt."

"That's not actually piercing." He raised an eyebrow.

"So you really want to be pierced? Your wish is my command." I gladly pushed him flat on the bed.

"No, no, Eric! It's already noon!" Alan tried to push me away, but I don't think he was even trying.

"Sorry, there ain't no knight in shining armour comin' to save ya!"

Alan stopped struggling and looked straight into my eyes. "I don't need him. I have my personal unorthodox knight to protect me right here." He smiled, tugging strongly on my heartstrings.

Utterly defeated, I dropped myself onto his smaller body, my head resting on his chest. "Unorthodox knight, huh." I mumbled. Alan caressed my hair gently. I'm a little disturbed by the fact that to him, I'm a noble man, an honourable shinigami.

If only he knew that my heart had already been tainted and the reason for it was him.
