Prompt 12 –Making Out: One of the Prompts earlier, you'll remember, was kissing, so I couldn't really think of anything new to add to it. Then I remembered, making out is so much different.

12. Power

The home lab had been upgraded some since Danny had moved in. He'd altered a few of Vlad's weapons and made them a lot less destructive then they'd first been (despite that being the intention to its original design). The walls were no longer bare; instead schematics, pictures, post-its, and other such things took up the space. There was no more silence either. Danny had taken care of that first. A stereo system had been installed and Danny agreed to only play his music at a certain volume whenever Vlad was present.

The room that had once been the home to so many dark and treacherous plans was now as much part of the home as the kitchen.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor was Danny, an open notebook in front of him as he worked with the leg of a robot he intended to use as a type of gatekeeper for the portals –this way the ghosts would still be around when they escaped. It wasn't meant to replace him in any way, the ability to make it think and contemplate any more then its base settings was a bit beyond him.

The sound of his tinkering and humming with the music is what Vlad was greeted to as he walked down the stairs and up to the young halfa.

"Were you able to find what was wrong?"

Danny, having felt the man before he'd even entered the room, showed no surprise. Sighing he placed the tweezers in his hand down and look up, goggles clouding the view of his blue eyes. Defeat was clear in the younger's drawn in brows.

"I thought I'd found the glitch but it was just a loose wire. One stupid loose wire isn't the problem. I am going to run another diagnostic and focus it more on power levels, see where that takes me…" his words drifted but he still kept his gaze raised and Vlad felt himself drawn to the young man, his boy.

Arms that once could have been described as spaghetti-like were firm and toned, glistening in a light sheen of sweat from his earlier exertion. The white T-shirt he sported clung tantalizingly to the young man's wiry frame, curled in on himself certain muscles shifted visibly as he straightened out and it almost made Vlad's mouth dry up. Dark jeans hung on the boy, the thought was not as enticing as his others but they were the younger's work pants and so they were baggy and comfortable. Regardless, Vlad knew that when the boy stood the pair would slip low on his waist and it was a much more pleasant sight.

Watching with observant eyes Danny quirked a brow at the older man and leaned back on his hands. Danny liked that Vlad didn't always wear his suits around him anymore. It was nice to see the man in a pair of sweats and a casual T-shirt. Not that the he was wearing that now, no Vlad must have just gotten back from his earlier meeting and was instead walking around with a loose tie, white dress shirt, and black slacks. Still it was casual. Danny liked casual Vlad.

Leaning down the older hybrid came to eye level with his young lover and smirked.

"Vlad?" Danny inquired just before Vlad came down on him, straddling the boy and placing one hand on the back of his neck.

Vlad's lips claimed the boy and he wasted no time in soft teasing as he licked the boys lower lip. Taking the hint, Danny parted his lips and groaned when he felt the others tongue massage his own. Fingers wrapped in the boy's hair tugged a little harder to garner full access to the unique taste of mint gum and popcorn, a probably afternoon snack. Danny was always responsive in more ways than one.

The boy's lips always moved as if Vlad would pull away to soon, his teeth taking to dragging against soft flesh whenever there was just a breadth of room. Hands sought skin, looking for it where it was available. In this moment it was the skin at Vlad's neck and Danny traced his fingers over a collarbone before trying to expose more of the other, unbuttoning the small clasps in a clumsy, hurried fashion. Vlad's favorite part was the way Danny always arched into him, the way his back formed a perfect curve that sought him like a puzzle piece. It was a beautiful sight, the man was sure of it. It was as if all of Danny had become utterly aware that there was a dire need to be his.

Still not completely drawing away from the boy, Vlad placed another hand at the small of the boys back in that delicious curve. Lowering the other he took his placed above the boy and smirked against the others lips when Danny attempted to switch positions in vain. A small pout formed but it quickly vanished when Vlad returned mesmerizing the taste of his boy.

Grazing his hands over the last three buttons of Vlad's shirt Danny arched further into the man he felt the slight pinch of hand on his hip. Raising one hand the boy slid a finger along the scratchy texture of Vlad's beard. Danny had grown to love the way it felt against his cheek, his neck, his chest…

Vlad's hands were always finding ways to make Danny more compliant, forcing him closer or further, to stop or to keep going. His mouth was powerful, pulling sounds out of the boy and then swallowing them whole. It was a disastrously beautiful feeling to give up his entire ability of thought and let what happens be chosen by another. What Danny loved about Vlad was the way he loomed over him, orbiting him as if he were the sun.

Pulling away, the ends of Vlad's lengthy hair tickled Danny's heated cheeks. Pupils blown, Danny looked up at his lover. Fingers still traced the silver beard and Vlad smirked. His beautiful boy needed no coercing today. Lips plumped and pink parted as if to say something but Vlad could see the thought drift away just as suddenly as it had come. Instead they remained parted for the sole purpose to take in quick mingled breaths with the one who was suspended above him. Leaning in to place his lips along the jaw line of his boy Vlad breathed deep. Nuzzling the skin there he nipped and waited as Danny's hands slipped to the back of Vlad's head and forced him to look back up.

"Hard day at the office?" Danny's inquisitive tone was honest.

"Let's just say there are definitely some problems with the power levels." Vlad said, his lips moving along the skin of Danny's neck, sending chills down the others spine.

A/N: Yeah, I know it's SUPER short but it was really hard to think of anything substantial for this. Hopefully you enjoyed this :)
