Dexter
I left the apartment and locked the door with the key I found on the bench. I walked slowly down the street and took in my surroundings committing them to memory so that I would forget where I lived because that would be awkward. I passed a small park that was just next door and it was called "Lion's den park' which was an odd name, but on closer inspection it had a giant statue of a lion in the centre so it made a little more sense. I got to Dexter's apartment building and stopped in front of it. I took a deep breath and tried to tame my excitement.
I hadn't seen him in ten years, hadn't touched him in 3650 days, in 87600 hours. I was nervous. I hadn't had sex in ten years either, Cassandra said that it would be too overwhelming in the first couple of years when I was trying to get the hang of my magic but after that I didn't even consider doing anything about it because of Dex. Because of the hope I had for us, that kept me from going insane the whole time I was away from him. But then I wondered if he had done the same. Had he waited for me? Or had he moved on? He could be with someone else right now and….
I didn't want to think about it, because then I would get mad and that would bring out my dark magic that didn't like anything or anyone that made me mad. I could control it reasonably well when I call if forward but when I get mad I go crazy and don't necessarily want to stop it from lashing out. I wanted to see him regardless of what he had been doing the last ten years and swept aside any pessimistic notions I had about now this would turn out and stepped forward into the building. I reached his door and knocked. I heard shuffling about inside and reached out to him to evaluate his emotional state.
He was a wreck. He was confused, excited, nervous, and guilty and mad all at once and all so intensely that I had to block him out completely just to continue standing up straight. He opened the door and I could see him literally freeze in his tracks. He stared at me and I stared right back, taking in the sight of him. His face was the same but he had stubble, as if he hadn't shaved in a week. He was wearing black sweat pants and a red shirt that hung open around him. He had let himself go a bit, and his stomach was a bit flabby with no abs sitting in plain sight but I didn't really care.
I looked into his eyes and found the same swirling pool of sapphire that made me get lost in them, they were so beautiful. But then he stepped back and shut the door in my face. I heard shuffling around again, but this time it was more frantic and swearing was involved. I smiled as I realised that he hadn't changed much and waited for him to clean up his apartment before he opened the door again. He stepped aside and let me in, but didn't go to take me into his arms or kiss me passionately like I thought about doing every time I had thought about what our reunion would be like. I guess I never really expected it to happen that way; it just would have been nice is all.
I switched on the imaginary switch that leads to his aura. It was glowing golden as it had the day I went through the surge and saw him with my magic for the first time, and there was a ring of pale blue hovering around him which told me he still loved me. That was reassuring. But I also noticed that there was a bit of black coiled around him and I thought back to what Cassandra has said black meant. What was it again? Oh no. It was death. He had experienced death. Who could it have been? I kept it to myself though and didn't say anything, just glad to be in his presence at all. I turned off his aura and
went to speak but before I could he walked over to me and hugged me tightly. He hugged me in a way that was so urgent that I didn't know what to do with myself. I could feel all of his emotions running through me and I had to reinforce my barriers to keep him out. When he finally pulled away he said "I missed you so much it nearly killed me." So maybe that was what the black was; his near encounter with death. I could never imagine a world without Dexter Vex in it and so I pushed the thoughts to the back of my mind. "I missed you too. I never once stopped thinking about you." I said and he smiled for the first time since I had walked through the door. His smile made me smile and then I was in his arms again, hugging him back.
I kissed his shoulder and moved my face to in front of his own. "Can I kiss you?" He asked and I nodded. He leaned in and pressed his lips on mine and I felt like I was eighteen again. All the emotions washing over me were my own and I loved the feel of it like wind against my skin. His arms started to roam about my body, touching me in a way that only he ever had. I hadn't been touched like this for so long and I needed it. I wanted it. I kissed him more vigorously, wanting every part of our bodies to be touching. I took my bag off of my shoulder and threw it down on the ground and put my arms around his neck. He lifted me up by the waist and I wrapped my legs around his own. He walked fast into his bedroom and threw me down on the bed, his eyes full of need and lust. I'm pretty sure that I projected the same kind of need as that was exactly what I was feeling.
He climbed onto the bed above me and pulled his shirt off. He then reached for mine and I leaned forward towards him so he could take it off. I slide my shoes and socks off with my feet and undid my jeans. Dexter helped me pull them down and then I went to work pulling his pants and underwear down. He was naked now and eager to touch me again. We kissed each other's bodies and started to move in a rhythm. Dexter's hands travelled up and down my legs and back until finally settling on my bra. He unclasped it and pulled it off of me, throwing it aside, not caring where it landed. We moved together as if it had not been ten years since we last shared a bed. He made love to me as if I had never left and his pain did not exist.
I smiled at him as he came and then he kissed me hard and then there was silence. He slumped against me, covering me completely, all of his weight pressing down on my body. I liked it and my arms moved around his waist to hug him. We stayed like that for a while and it felt intimate. He kissed my neck and I nibbled on his ear, neither of us wanting to move from this spot. After a while though, Dex became too heavy for me so I rolled us over, him on his back, me leaning up against his side. I kissed his chest and leaned my head against it, looking up at him.
I wondered what he was thinking, as I always did, but this time he was actually here so he could answer if I asked. "Dex, what are you thinking about?" I said, my voice sounding innocent and young. "I'm thinking about the last ten years and how much I missed you the whole entire time. I didn't know if you were ok, or if you were going to come back, Legacy. I did some things that I regret and I haven't been the most pleasant to be around. But now that you're back, god, I can't believe it has been ten whole years. What Kind of power do you have that you needed to spend ten years to learn to control it?" He asked and I didn't know how to respond. Should I tell him everything? He has a right to know.
"I'm a type of sensitive who can read people's emotions. I can affect them too, manipulate them. I can read auras and read minds and I can also project my magic into a shield of sorts that I can use as a weapon. I have learnt to block out the mind reading as I found out the hard way that I didn't really want to know what others private thoughts were. I can also switch on and off the aura reading and emotion control/feeling but sometimes it gets to be too much and I'm overwhelmed with everything.
"But I have ways to deal with that too. I can not only control my magic but can use it to the best of my abilities. I wanted to leave earlier but Cassandra wouldn't let me Dex, she said that there would come a time when I needed to use my powers at a master level and now was the only time she could teach me how to use them that way. I was forced to stay this long. I would have come back to you sooner if I had had a choice. I'm so sorry I put you through all of this." He looked impressed when I listed all of my magic and pissed off when I told him they wouldn't let me leave.
'It's ok, I'm here now, that's what matters." I said in a soothing voice as I could feel that he was about to start yelling with rage against Cassandra. "it's okay, calm down." I sent soothing emotions to him and the affect was instant. He moved us so that we were in a spooning position and he hugged me tightly too him. "Don't ever leave me again." He whispered into my ear and we drifted off into sleep.
