A/N: Okay, I'm not very happy with this one. I'm not sure if it really connects with chapter 2. Hopefully it does, but if it doesn't, I'll work on it and try to fix it and maybe stick another chapter in there in between.

Disclaimer: I don't own Albel...or Fayt. Really and truly don't.

Albel wasn't exactly sure when he developed affection for Fayt. It had crept slowly into their strange relationship that was almost like friendship. Albel really couldn't say he had had a friend before. But he and Fayt fit together so nicely. Fayt would never be afraid of Albel and Albel would never try to get Fayt help for his problems. They each respected the other's strange inclinations.

It soon became more than a friendship, at least on Albel's part. Albel was at a loss to explain exactly why he felt so strongly about Fayt. Perhaps it was because Fayt was so vulnerable and weak. Or perhaps it was because Fayt liked getting beat up and beating people up was one of Albel's favorite hobbies.

Albel wasn't ashamed of his feelings for Fayt. He had never thought about his sexuality before since no one either male or female had ever captured his interest before. But he found it didn't matter to him as he would still love Fayt no matter what gender Fayt was. Perhaps Albel wasn't really gay except when it came to Fayt. Every other man Albel had ever met made him feel competitive as if he had to prove himself as the toughest guy. But Fayt had already put himself in a submissive position so Albel never had to feel threatened. Also, Fayt was pretty good-looking, with an athletic build and entrancing green eyes. So perhaps it was only natural for Albel to be attracted to him.

Albel doubted Fayt felt the same way about him. Albel could never be considered handsome. Threatening maybe, but never attractive. Besides, Fayt had confessed to feeling emotionally numb. Perhaps if Albel kept helping Fayt overcome his feelings of helplessness, Fayt would eventually grow attached to him out of gratitude. The problem would be that Label did not want to wait that long. The longer Albel thought about it, the more he wanted Fayt. Finally, he came to a compromise.

Fayt walked up to Albel, oblivious to Albel's internal conflict, his face blank. He held out his payment. "I feel so empty today. Do what you will to snap me out of it."

Albel smirked. His plan would come in handy sooner than he expected. He elbowed Fayt in the chest and then knocked the boy onto his back. Albel dropped on top of Fayt, earning him a slight groan as the wind was knocked out of Fayt. Albel ripped at Fayt's clothes carelessly, scratching Fayt in the process.

Fayt's eyes widened. He had not been expecting Albel to ever contemplate stripping him. "Wha-what are you doing?" he asked nervously.

"You'll see," Albel said gruffly. He forced Fayt's legs apart and then roughly thrust himself into Fayt without any preparation.

Fayt let out a slight whimper of pain as his face lit up with delight. "You're raping me. I see. Albel is so clever. I would never have thought of that, but I heard that it is very painful. Albel's such a good friend to think of that."

Albel snorted. 'Most people don't consider people who rape them as "friends". I'm glad I'm still your friend."

"Of course you are," Fayt said soothingly. "I'm not most people. Perhaps you thought I wouldn't like to surrender up something so precious as my virginity, but I'd rather you take it than anyone else."

"Yeah, yeah," Albel muttered irritably. "Does it feel good, Fayt?"

"Yeah, it hurts good," Fayt said happily, twisting beneath Albel to find a more painful angle.

"I'm just getting started," Albel hissed, his voice deep with lust.

Fayt let out a hoarse cry as Albel began thrusting into him. "Ahh-harder, Albel! God, it feels good. Please, harder, faster!"

Albel quickly set up a punishing pace. Fayt writhed appealingly beneath him. His face was flushed as he panted heavily. Suddenly Fayt hissed as his whole body arched against Albel. "Why does it feel so good?" Fayt whimpered.

"You tell me," Albel growled. "You're the one who thinks pain feels good."

"Its past pain," Fayt panted, whining as his hips bucked back against Albel's thrusts. "It feels so good and it isn't even painful anymore."

Albel was stunned as he stared at Fayt incredulously. "You mean you're not even getting off on the pain but just on the sex?"

"Don't talk!" Fayt begged. "You're slowing down. Please, faster! I want, I need more!"

Albel obeyed Fayt's pleas as his felt warmth spread through his heart. Fayt wanted him and not just the pain he could give.

Fayt's body jerked upward with a shriek and he fell back against the ground panting hard. Albel got in a few more violent thrusts inside of Fayt before he too was spent. He collapsed on top of his lover, who gazed at Albel adoringly.

Albel pulled out of Fayt with a soft groan. He stood and began slipping his pants back on. Fayt whimpered. "Albel, don't leave yet. Stay with me."

"Fayt, we cannot lie in the middle of the alley all day," Albel said firmly. "I know you're probably worn out, but you can sleep in my car."

"But Albel-" Fayt whined.

"No buts, Fayt. I know you want to snuggle or whatever you call it. It's only natural. But my car is much warmer and that way nobody will run you over or see you butt-naked."

Fayt scowled. "I don't care who sees me naked."

"Well, I do. If you have sex with me, I'm the only one who sees you naked. You understand?'

"Yes," Fayt said cheerfully.

Albel pulled Fayt to his feet. Fayt immediately slumped against Albel, burying his face in Albel's shoulder. "Mmmn, you smell so nice," Fayt said happily. "And your shirt's so cozy."

"Get off me,' Albel growled. "You can sleep in the car."

"No, I want to sleep right here." Fayt wrapped his arms around Albel's waist.

"Goddamn, Fayt," Albel snarled. "Pull yourself together. I'm tired too but I can at least walk."

Fayt whimpered. "I've been bad. Maybe you should punish me."

"Let's not start this again," Albel grumbled.

Fayt sighed. "My legs are asleep. Carry me, please?"

With an irritated sigh, Albel slung Fayt over one shoulder and carried him the few feet to the car before roughly tossing Fayt into the passenger seat. Albel walked around and sat in the driver's seat.

Before Albel could say anything else, Fayt was crawling into his lap. Fayt kissed Albel's neck, his cheeks, his forehead. "God, you're so amazing," Fayt whispered.

Albel rolled his eyes and pinched Fayt's butt. Fayt let out a startled squeak and turned red.

Albel snickered. "it looks like I just can't keep my hand off you."

Fayt blinked, his passion cooling into affection. "Well, I'll be happy to stay with you for a little while." Fayt settled into Albel's lap and leaned against him, yawing sleepily. "You can touch me all you want, but try not to wake me up, okay?"

"Alright," Albel said grudgingly.

Fayt smiled. "You make a great friend and a great lover. Good-night, Albel." He snuggled into Albel's chest and drifted off to sleep.
