Jordan: On of the note of last chapter, I'd like to say sorry for it being so short. Not only was I using unfamiliar software, it was really late.
Henry: Personally, I felt that you put a lot and that last chapter despite the length. Although I am slightly sad about the way it ended.
Jasper: And he doesn't own a either category.
Luckily, on their way to Aphrodite's Apple they found another hotel would still contained locking doors and warm water just like the Sinclair deluxe. Also lucky for Jasper he brought the one thing that he could concentrate with, his MP3 player. As he stepped into the shower, he hooked it up to a speaker that seemed to be attached to the wall. So when he had the music playing, he couldn't hear that the door was being opened.
Although Henry had feelings for his brother, he despised that fact. He wished that the pheromones never existed. He knew how happy he could be with Jasper. But no matter what he tried to do you always feel those feelings deep inside, the feelings for Tobias. And although he didn't want to like the idea of them together, whenever he thought of it, his mind became a blissful oblivion. But that didn't stop him from defying who he was meant to be with. So when he opened the door to the bathroom he felt no remorse. He knew that Jasper couldn't hear him entering so he slowly took off his close and entered the shower.
Jasper felt that change of the water flow and when he turned around to see what was wrong, he saw Henry standing there looking at him with eyes filled with indecision. He wanted to kiss him so badly, but this was Henry's decision and he couldn't take that choice away from him. "Are you?" His question was cut off when he felt Henry's warm hand caress his cheek. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to Jasper's. Nothing over the top, just a simple kiss with so many emotions hidden behind the surface. Love, defiance, hatred. All pulled together in one act that would change their lives. Whether for the good or bad was undetermined, but as they exited the shower silently and fell asleep in each other's arms, for once, Henry felt whole.
Jasper had no idea what caused this, and in all honesty, he didn't care. All that mattered was that he was in Henry's arms. That was all he had wanted for years. To be in the arms of this beautiful creature. It didn't matter to him where they were. It didn't matter that they were in mortal danger. It just mattered that he was with Henry. His Henry.
Jordan: I'm super sorry it's so short, but I'm mid-writer's block and this was all that I could write to further the plot.
Wishing you Black skies and Clearwater.
