Jordan: Agh the weekend has been killer. But 1:33 a.m. is the perfect time to work on a Monday. Especially since there's gonna sex in this chapter.

Henry: Okay then, we don't own U.H or Bioshock.

Henry forgot how much the body can be affected by ADAM. But he was in for a swift memory relapse when Jasper collapsed on their way to the Apple. Their trip to find Omega would have to wait. Henry had to find a house, or an apartment, or anything to protect Jasper from the onslaught of splicers that could attack at any moment.

He saw a door. He didn't know what lie behind it, but he knew deep down that something good was karmically going to happen when he opened that door. And for some reason, time seemed to slow as he held Jasper in his arms. As the door opened. As he heard splicers flood into the hallway. He ran in and locked the door, making sure of its security before setting Jasper down and observing his surroundings.

An underwater mansion. How quaint. He guessed that karma must be on his side for once. Ah the balance of the universe.

He heard Jasper stir behind him. He kneeled down to examine his fallen friend. He chuckled, 'friend'. Those lines were blurring faster than he could rebuild them. Jasper seemed like he was struggling. Trying to win the fight to open his eyes. Henry didn't know what to do, these things took time. So he did all he could do. He took Jasper in his arms, and held him. Held him as he struggled. As he tried to bring himself back to reality. Back from his ADAM induced dreams.

"I love you Henry." I said. The words flowed from my mouth with such ease. As if I had been saying it for years when in actuality, it was the first time I said it aloud. Henry just looked at me in awe. Like I was the most incredible person in the world. His eyes were so piercing yet so soft, the shade of green that made my heart melt. That could make grass look pale and emeralds look dull. The shade of green that I so frequently found myself lost in. He inched closer to me and as our lips met, I felt myself melt into him. He was perfect. So perfect and by some stroke of amazing luck, mine. And as we pulled apart for air, I heard eight words fall fluidly from his lips. "I love you Jasper, and I always will." And as our lips met again, I felt my heart soar on this newfound wave of perfection. A wave that could only be explained by knowing that he loved me. At this moment I didn't care about how wrong people believed we were. How disgusted people might be at our feelings. Maggie's opinion was the only one that really mattered to us and she was just happy that we were happy. At this moment, nothing else mattered to me. At this moment, I was whole.

Henry's eyes fluttered open as he came to a realization of what he just witnessed. He was seeing Jasper's dreams. His hopes his desires. His heart warmed at this wave of feelings that came upon him. Feelings felt only once before. Feelings he had only previously felt for Tobias. And as he fell back into a meditative state to watch Jasper's dreams, a small smile formed upon his face. A smile of pure happiness.

I awoke as Henry was crouched over me. "Henry, I am not nocturnal. What do you want?" I asked harshly before calming myself and apologizing. A look of hurt flickered across Henry's face before he went back to his bed. "It's nothing, I'll ask you tomorrow." I screwed up again I thought before heading over and sitting by his bedside. "I'm sorry Henry." I said as I placed a hand on his shoulder. "What's wrong?" I asked with a calm tone in his voice. Henry sat upright with his nose almost touching mine. "Have you ever really wanted to have feelings for someone but been too in love with someone else to be able to?" He asked with an amazingly beautiful curious look in his eyes. I was taken aback by this very intimate and unprecedented question. "Every day Henry." I couldn't do anything but answer truthfully at this point. "And I know how much easier my life would be if I liked that person instead of the person I truly love, but love is a tricky thing and you must always respect the hand that you're dealt." The one piece of advice that I had lived through in my life and here I was giving it to the one I loved. "Thank you Jasper." He said with a gleam in his eye. He gave me a hug before going back to sleep. As I settled down in my own bed, I felt my heart breaking. "Oh Henry, if only you knew." I whispered as the need for sleep overwhelmed my senses.

Henry felt himself being pushed back into reality as Jasper's dreams began to change. He remembered that night. The night he realized that Jasper liked him. The night he wished that he could feel back. And finally he was starting to feel back. But he still felt for Tobias. And he had longer. He didn't want to hurt Jasper, but when he saw Tobias, would he run back to his brother? He felt himself being pulled into another of Jasper's dreams as he pondered the question.

"This is perfect." I whispered as I looked over at Henry. We were lying in the park looking at the sky. He smiled as he looked over and locked his eyes with mine. "Only because we're here together." He said quietly; a small blush forming on his cheeks. I reached over and intertwined my fingers with his. And that was what we were like. Nothing overboard, nothing amazing, just us as we were; and it felt fantastic to be here. "Jasper?" He asked quietly; his eyes boring into mine. "What's wrong?" I asked as sympathetically as I could. "If my parents wanted me to leave, to go somewhere with them like I used to, what would you do?" I felt like this was leading up to something that I didn't think I was prepared for. "Well, I would want to go with you. I'd do whatever was possible and several things that aren't just to make sure that I could be with you." As soon as the words left my mouth, I knew that they were the truth. But I had to know why he asked. "Why, is something wrong?" I tried to disguise it but my voice was coated in concern. "My parents asked me to go to Venezuela." I felt tears form in my eyes against my will. "I'm going with you." I said before he finished. "Jasper." He complained. "No, Henry, I'm going with you no matter what." I wasn't going to lose him. "Jasper, I said no. I want to stay here. These past months I've spent living here have been the best of my life." All those tears in my eyes began to spill over as I took him in my arms. He just patted me on the back. "Henry, that means so much to me. You chose staying here with me over being in some amazingly beautiful country with your parents." He smiled and blushed again. "The most beautiful thing I want is right here." He said quietly as he looked in my eyes. I was right, this was perfect.

Henry woke up with tears in his eyes. And as he looked down at Jasper's still sleeping form, he came to a realization that surprised him. Jasper didn't just like him; this wasn't any hormonal forbidden fantasy. Jasper loved him. And it wasn't forced by pheromones or hormones; Jasper was truly in love with Henry. And as he came to this stunning realization, he drifted into dreams of his own.

I was running down a hallway, which was the only thing I was certain of. I could hear Daddy's voice repeating over and over. "Why do they have to see this?" He kept asking. There was no light, but I could see Jasper at what seemed to be the end of the hallway. "Henry!" He yelled as he was pulled into the darkness by a man I knew as Frank Fontaine. No matter how fast I ran, or teleported, I was always moving in reverse. And when I frequently looked behind me, I saw a teenager whose face seemed familiar, yet I could not place. "Don't you love me anymore Heny?" He asked as tears streamed down his face. "Tobs." I whispered as I fell to the ground writhing for the sobs that came painfully from me. And no matter how much I screamed, the pain didn't stop. And then Tobias was dragged away. I couldn't move. I was frozen to the ground in fear. Dad, Mom, Otis the Shaman, Maggie, Whitney, Daddy. I was watching everyone that I loved being dragged away in the dark as I felt an all too familiar substance drip on me. When I looked at myself, I saw that I was covered in the long congealed blood of my Daddy. Everyone that I loved was being dragged away and killed by a long-dead Atlas. And as I screamed in terror and pain, he walked up to me and placed a pistol in my hand. "Would you kindly shoot yourself?" He asked as though I had a choice. I wasn't able to control myself as I placed the pistol to my forehead and pulled the trigger. When nothing happened I kept pulling the trigger and no shots were fired. Atlas laughed maniacally. This was my last act of free will as I picked up the pistol and began to bludgeon myself to death. For me, it didn't matter. The holocaust was complete.

Henry came to reality as Jasper shuffled beneath him. "Henry, what are you doing?" He asked with his voice slurring. Henry didn't want to tell the truth, but he was beyond that line now.

"I was protecting you Jasper." Jasper was stunned at this strange comment, but he shrugged it off and wobbled as he made his way to the bathroom with Henry close behind. Although he loved the new attention, he was confused.

"Um, Henry, I can take a shower by myself." He laughed as Henry smiled. Henry was looking awkward but put on a smile.

"But; you see; I would be remiss if I didn't make sure you were." He paused and grabbed Jasper's hand in his own. "Perfectly okay."

"O-okay." Jasper stuttered as Henry removed Jasper's shirt followed by his own. Jasper could feel Henry's hands; calloused from years of training; slowly moving across Jasper's stomach as his oh so nimble fingers worked upon the button of his pants. Sliding the belt off slowly and with no obstacle. A blush worked its way up Jasper's cheeks. "Just slides right off don't it." He didn't truly know if he wanted it to. But as he saw Henry's pants slide off soon after his own, he wanted it.

'Just focus on your breathing Jasper.' He told himself.

In.

He heard Henry turn on the water.

Out.

Henry walked behind his adoptive cousin.

In.

He slowly pulled down the brunette's boxers to reveal a rather sizable erection.

Out.

Jasper listened to the sound of friction as Henry pulled down his own undergarments. He didn't dare look behind him at his blonde cousin.

In.

They stepped into the shower with Henry standing behind Jasper. And Jasper could feel the piercing green eyes looking upon his figure.

Out.

Henry found some soap and lathered up his hands.

Jasper forgot which beat he was on when he felt Henry's hands ghosting soap bubbles over his skin.

His shoulders.

His stomach.

His chest.

His back.

His bare ass.

He lost control and let a small moan escape his lips as Henry began to massage his soap covered hands into the brunette's ass. Henry smiled as he moved his hands around front.

Jasper grabbed his cousin's wrists and turned around to look him in the eyes. Those beautiful green shining eyes. 'Focus Jasper!' He yelled at himself.

"Henry, are you sure?" His voice was hesitant; restrained. "I can't." He paused. "If you aren't, I just can't." The volume was barely above a whisper but there was an air of finality in his voice.

"Jasper." Henry said his name as though a spell. "This is the one thing I have ever been sure of."

"Okay then." This was the first time that Jasper felt as though he could be with Henry. In any non-platonic way. And he intended to use it as much as he could. He leaned forward and slowly pressed his lips to Henry's. A kiss that was infinitely better than his wildest dreams. A kiss where he felt whole. And he felt whole because this wasn't a dream, this; as crazy as it seemed; was real life.

When Henry realized what was happening, he became determined to push this as far as he could. They could be like they were in Jasper's dreams anytime, but he never knew when a chance like this could come along again. So he deepened the kiss, weaving his fingers in Jasper's soft brown hair. Slipping his tongue into Jasper's mouth and massaging Jasper's tongue with his own. And he knew how amazing this was when both he and Jasper began to moan into the kiss.

Jasper felt Henry's hand close around his member but he slapped it away and pulled back. "Not in here. If it can't be on the surface, I at least want it in a bed." He saw Henry's hand reach back and turn off the water as they climbed out and headed; still both wet and naked; to the bedroom.

When they reached the edge of the bed, Henry pushed Jasper down onto the bed and held his hands by the ornate headboard as he took the brunette's lips in another searing kiss. This time, he felt Jasper's tongue and his fighting for dominance over the kiss. "Damnit." He moaned as Jasper's tongue won over his and began to explore the cavern of his mouth. He took back control as he slowly pulled back and placed soft kisses along Jaspers neck before biting hard into his collarbone.

"Fuck!" Jasper screamed as his hands tightened into fists in Henry's hair. That was going to leave a huge mark, but he knew that he would wear that mark with pride.

Henry smiled and moved lower before taking a nipple into his mouth; slowly massaging it between his teeth. The moans erupting from Jasper's mouth were like some form of drug that was intoxicating. Henry had to have more. He lifted his head up slowly and blew cool air on the hard nub and was delighted when he was rewarded with yet another in a long line of moans.

He moved lower, placing small nips on Jasper's inner thighs and making sure to go slow so he could draw every moan out of Jasper that was possible. Relishing in the moments when he heard Jasper's breathing hitch followed by his name coated in a voice of pure pleasure. This was like crack to Henry, and he didn't know how he could live without it in the future.

Jasper was surfing a wave of undeniably amazing and lust-driven pleasure. He was moaning so loud that any thoughts were drained from his head. Any thoughts left were the wanting of Henry's beautiful lips wrapped around his erection. And his wants were soon to be fulfilled.

Henry was acting on pure instinct yet he almost felt like he was in control. So when he reached up and grabbed Jasper's sack, and massaged the orbs between his fingers, his body was almost moving on its own. He forced himself to slow down just slow enough to practically torture Jasper with his own pleasure. His faced moved up above his hands and nuzzled into the curly hairs lying just at the base of Jasper's perfect and hard member. He proceeded to place soft kisses up and down the length before kissing the tip after Jasper moaned; yet again. He knew he would be letting Jasper off too easy if he started now, so he started to follow the path of his kisses with his tongue; leaving a small trail in his wake. Only when Jasper moaned twice more did he move up to the tip and give it another kiss before slipping his tongue out and running it torturously slow over the slit. Waiting for another moan to continue; Henry was incredibly ecstatic that this was happening.

Jasper groaned. "Damnit Henry, you're such a tease."

Henry laughed as he moved down on Jasper just enough so that he could scrape his teeth across the head. This time Jasper didn't moan, he screamed Henry's name. And Henry drank up every syllable of lust infused pleasure. After that, he slowly went further until he had Jasper all the way into his throat. He could hear Jasper moaning now, but this time he wouldn't be distracted; so he began to pick up an even pace and made sure to swallow around Jasper's head as it slid ever so slowly down his waiting throat.

It was only when Henry sensed Jasper tensing up did he pull back and stop. But when Jasper looked at him with beautiful brown wanting eyes, he almost felt bad. But he knew he didn't want him to do that yet.

So he moved back and gave Jasper a few seconds to pant it out, before moving behind him with his fingers in his mouth. Jasper only had a moment to process what was happening before he felt one of Henry's cool slick fingers poking at his entrance. He moaned slightly before hissing in pain at the unfamiliar intrusion. He knew this was coming but that didn't make it any less painful; at least until Henry curled his finger and hit something in Jasper that caused him to scream out louder than before.

Henry knew it was time to add a second finger when Jasper started to relax around the first. This time Jasper's hiss was less pronounced until Henry started to scissor his fingers. Jasper heard Henry's breathing hitch whenever he made a sound of pain. "Just go slowly, I'll be fine." Jasper breathed out; he was relieved when Henry relaxed some and continued.

Henry leaned up and pressed a kiss to Jasper's temple before leaning by his ear. "We can stop now if you don't want this." His breath was warm on Jasper's ear.

"Henry, all I want is you. Please, don't stop." He managed to pant out. Henry pulled back and looked in his beautiful eyes. "I love you Henry." Jasper managed to squeak out. Henry's eyes softened intensely.

"I." He paused; his face deep in thought. "I love you too Jasper." He produced a small smile before placing another small kiss on Jasper's lips before leaning back and removing his fingers and lubing up his painfully hard member. As he placed his tip at Jasper's entrance, he stared in the brunette's eyes. "There's still time to say no." He caressed Jasper's cheek with the back of his hand.

"I want you Henry. I always have." Jasper chuckled. His hand grabbing Henry's. "And I always will."

"Okay." Henry said before giving Jasper a peck on the lips and sitting straight up. "I'm sorry in advance." He said before pushing his head into Jasper's tight cavern. He hesitated when Jasper yelped in pain. When Jasper glared at him he slowly pushed in farther until he was sheathed completely. It was seriously tight and a hiss of pleasure erupted from his mouth. He pulled back quickly and thrust back in; starting to enjoy the sounds of pain and pleasure coming from his brunette lover. When Henry started to build a pattern, Jasper began to start feeling more of the pleasure and less of the pain. Henry shifted a little bit and began to hit that spot every time he thrust back in. Jasper's nails began to drag across the small of his back. Henry moaned and soon closed his hand around Jasper's still hard cock. Soon, Jasper screamed Henry's name and sent his seed flying over their chests. The subsequent tightening of his muscles sent Henry over the edge and he came deep within Jasper. With one last moan, he fell out of Jasper and lay down next to him on the bed.

"I love you Henry." Jasper whispered before falling into an exhausted sleep.

"I love you too Jasper. And I'm sorry it took me this long to realize." Henry said as he pulled Jasper close and fell asleep as well.

Jordan: And writer's block is finally gone. After 36 hours of sleep deprivation and near constant mauling by plot-bunnies.

Henry: And he beat it with a passion.

Jordan: So, um…. I actually just wrote this story to improve my writing, so I was really ecstatic when I saw how many people were actually reading this story. So, review if you like it .

Wishing you Black skies and Clearwater.
