Henry: Hi everyone. Sorry for the long time without updating. My laptop broke so... Anyway, no reviews? Aw...
Leo: Humph... Wannabe writer.
Henry: Psycho Diva.
Leo: *Glares at Henry* Oh really now? Thank you for reading this. As usual we own nothing. Enjoy the story.
Henry: damn it Leo!

Leo stormed back and forth in the apartment as Harry sat down and poured himself a stiff shot of whiskey in a crystal glass. The walls of their private home were decorated and painted a faded red from the long age ago when it had been sculpted onto the cold bricks. Ancient masks from the desert plains of Africa and the forgotten pyramids of Egypt lined every free spot on the wall where there wasn't a fire place, long mirror or portrait.

Harry flicked his dark hair over his bright, glistening blue eyes and took a long sip of the drink which burned down his throat roughly. "Stop worrying, we will get it next time." He said gently over and over as he looked at Leo who was now just in his shirt and shorts. The symbiote skin had receded to look like normal clothes though Harry could make out faint areas where it clung onto the boy's bone and spine to help him move. "Leo come sit down. You're stressing too much." Leo shot a glare at him.

Harry fought down a blush and hid it behind a impassive face as he lent back and threw his arm behind the cushion of the couch. Man, even angry and wearing that symbiote, Leo looked... so damn hot. He thought. The way the boy's brows would burrow together as he regarded him with that emerald gaze. "We were supposed to get into the vaults! Now we have our edge of surprise gone, they will be expecting us to go back!"
"They will be expecting Cobra to go back." Harry said quietly. "What about Leo?" The smaller boy just glared at him as though he had just dropped from the sky.
"Has that whiskey gone to your head?" Leo sighed and fell back on the chair next to him.

As he lent his head into his hand, the symbiote crawled away from a shirt and formed a padding over his hands which gently caressed Leo's face. Harry frowned... he was jealous of a parasite... Man, he really had fallen. But his anger for the creature that now lived on Leo was extinguished when his eyes moved onto Leo's back at the boy's exposed skin.

It was covered in deep, bulging scars.

Oh his poor Leo.

But still the symbiote was stretched out in long pointed veins which stabbed down bellow the skin and into the boy's spine. Without it, the boy would be crippled and almost dead... no, he would be worse than dead. Harry decided as he reached out.

The symbiote quickly spread over the boy's back as it felt Harry's hand near the smooth skin. He frowned. The damn thing wouldn't even let Harry touch Leo any more unless it allowed him. It always felt threatened when the taller boy neared it. "I saved you and helped you complete with him. Why the hell would I hurt you now?" He hissed and watched as it crawled away from his hand which slowly glided along the slightly tanned skin.
"What are we going to do Harry?" Leo sighed dejectedly.

The boy seemed so tired now a days. Like everything inside of him was ebbing away and melting down the gutters. "It's going to be okay." Harry slowly lent forward and brushed his lips along the boy's neck before gently sucking at the skin making Leo groan slightly. Oh how Harry loved that sound. "Just keep a calm head and everything will go according to plan. My plan went all right when I saved you." Harry reached out and gently wrapped his hands around Leo's. "Trust me." He ran his fingers across the back of the smaller boy's smooth hands.

His plan may have worked. But that had been the most horrific month of Harry's life. Trying to find the boy around the city. He had gone through squads, goons and to the darkest of the underworld criminals.

Only to find that Leo had been left on the street like a piece of trash.

"What happened... all that time I was out... what happened to me?"

What indeed.

Harry remembered it just as thought it was yesterday and still his anger was worse than any describable form.

Enough to wake the goblin inside of him.

Harry only smiled slightly as he reached out and stroke the side of the boy's face. "Don't worry. Next time you will get it. I just know it." Leo looked at him with a slight smile.
"You saved me and gave me a reason for existing." Leo whispered as his eyes quivered slightly.
"HEY HARRY!"

Oh no...

Harry's head snapped over to look at Leo as the symbiote spread over him quickly forming it's full suit. Harry managed to clamp his hand down over the boy's fanged mouth just before the symbiote and Leo reverted into their animal screech. "Leo please... don't say anything. Please!" Harry looked desperately at the long moving white eyes that spread across the boy's face. He let his breath slowly out as it began to roll back into a green shirt and Leo frowned slightly as he looked at the door. "What do we do? Parker is the bug! If he see's me."
"He won't." Harry whispered. "I'm coming Pete just got out the shower!" He called through.

Leo raised an eyebrow and grinned... Oh... the boy wouldn't dare...

Leo quickly ran into the bathroom and pulled out a towel before ripping off Harry's shirt black silken shirt savagely and slowly. Leo looked at the exposed chest with a slight lustful hunger before pulling the jacket back over the boy's strong shoulders. "Oh you are so going to pay for that, later." Harry growled with a deep grin. His eyes sparkled while Leo's glinted mischievously.
"You will have to catch me first." He whispered and slowly shook his hips before running into the other room. No good tease, he rolled his eyes.

Then he frowned slightly as he heard the draws being rummaged through... what the hell was that boy doing?

He slowly shimmied his jeans and boxers down his legs before kicking his shoes and socks off to the side and making sure that the towel was tied securely around his waist. He held his hand up in time to catch a bottle of water from Leo and tipped some over his hair and face letting it slowly moved down his toned chest letting him look as though he had just jumped out the shower. He tossed the bottle back and heard a slight blur of wind as a long line of green web tied around it and caught it, pulling it back into the room where Leo hid.

Harry took a calming breath before turning the golden door handle and smiling as he looked at his old best friend. "Pete! What are you doing here?"
"Harry?!" Peter looked at him up and down before face palming.
"Well next time give me a warning before you come over and I won't plan my time so i'm in the shower."
"I only come over to see how you were dealing with the break in over at Oscorp." Peter walked in. He was wearing his usual dark grey shirt and jeans with an thin over jacket. Why are you hiding your colors, Spider? Harry smiled. "Doing just fine. Oscorp is the least of my worries."
"I also heard about Leo."

Harry came to a stand still as he sat on the couch. His hand began creeping towards the pocket of his black leather jacket. "Heard what?"
"He passed away in hospital." Peter said with a raised eyebrow as he locked eyes on his best friend. But Harry was grinning on the inside. That idiot. Spider man had seen Leo there the other night. Peter was such an idiot to think Harry would believe him. "Well that's kind of strange because-"
"Sir?"

Harry turned and had to resist the urge to let his mouth drop to the floor. As slowly the door to his and Leo's bedroom opened.

Slowly a figure stepped out.

It couldn't be Leo... It just couldn't have been! And yet... it was.

Harry's eyes ran over the smooth and perfectly tanned legs which were exposed while being in black heels. As his eyes went higher he fixed his eyes onto the person who was wearing a black and white outfit... a maid outfit... Oh god... Leo had found his surprise for later! His eyes carried on up and instead of the short haired beauty Harry looked at a figure with long flowing locks which blurred from blond to a deep shade of green. It was almost scary how the symbiote could adapt to appearance. Leo was petite enough and had the right curves to pull of the look of a woman. The bottom of the skirt cut of before even attempting to reach Leo's knees and the boy just gave a petite smile before speaking shyly. His voice was so soft it was easily feminine. "Oh dear, excuse me. Master Osborn. I got the clothes as you requested.

Her looked down at the black shirt with white font which red: Come to the dark side... Then he locked his eyes on the shorts and realized how tight the shirt fitted to him... LEO! He glared over at the maid... oh... he would so be getting punished later. "Thank you." He nodded curtly before Leo gave a warming smile to Peter. "May I get you anything sir."
"No thanks... uh... uh-"
"Just call her Snow White." Peter blushed slightly and Leo shot him a silent glare as a slight look of anger burst through his eyes before he corrected himself. Oh Harry knew what that look meant... "Snow this is Peter Parker." Leo held out his gentle hand and Peter took it softly.
"The pleasure is all mine." Leo bowed slightly and Harry's eye twitched as the boy stepped forward and kissed Peter's cheek. "It is an honor to meet Master Osborn's best friend."

Peter seemed lost in his wide eyes and blushing cheeks. "Uh... huh uh..." Leo turned his face away and grinned at Harry before slowly walking away with a clip of his heels. "That boy was going to be the death of him!

Harry rubbed his neck as he felt his cheeks burn before pulling a t-shirt over his body and slipping on some boxers before pulling on the tight shorts. "Wow Harry... I never thought-"
"I know." The boy looked over his shoulder.
"I never thought that you had a weird maid kink." Peter sighed.
"I know... hang on. WHAT?!" Harry turned back to his friend with wide eyes. "Peter... no it's not... it isn't... there isn't..."
"What goes on in the bachelor pad, stays in the bachelor pad." Peter winked. "I'll give you both some room don't worry. I'm just sorry to hear that you lost the whole department floor yesterday."
"Heh?" Harry frowned furiously as he glared at him. "What are you on about Peter."
"Didn't you hear? After Oscorp was attacked yesterday, the guy pulled out the pillars and the floor in the research lab collapsed.
"OH DID HE?!" Harry snarled and Leo walked back into the room with a play full smile as he began to dust. "Peter... I better go, I have to file a load of forms... because of the break in." Harry said smoothly before turning his best friend around and steering him towards the door. He shot a glare over at Leo and frowned but Leo just returned the glare as Harry said goodbye and closed the door on Peter with a kind smile.

Which slowly melted away as he turned to look back at Leo. Who had walked over to him. With a sharp glare. "SNOW WHITE?!"
"You destroyed an entire floor of Oscorp!"
"YOU CALLED ME SNOW WHITE?!" The boy screeched as he ripped the maid dress over his head and the green extensions slowly melted back over his chest as a shirt. "You took out the research division!?"
"I pulled out the pillars around the windows!" Leo frowned as though Harry had just deeply offended him... then it struck why Leo was so upset about this. "Do you really think that I would do anything to upset you or try to hurt you, you rich boy idiot! I owe you my life and my heart you freaking idiot!" Leo snarled as he walked forward and Harry backed away scared as he pressed himself back up against the door looking at the gaze of betrayal which Leo shot him.

Harry had first learnt that loyalty meant a lot to Leo... to insinuate that Leo had done something to intentionally sabotage their plans... That was the worst insult you give the boy.

Leo looked at him a bit longer as he glared. "Sometimes..." Leo flexed his fingers as he felt the symbiote spreading down to his hand making claws. "Sometimes I wish I had never woken up. I have a monster in my back which I would die without!" In his mind he heard a faint whimper but his anger was rising slowly and being pent up and hidden for so long. "And I'm a monster!"

Harry reached out and grabbed the boy ignoring the spikes of the symbiote which stabbed violently into his hand. He held back his whimper as he pulled Leo close into his chest. "I'm sorry."
"Harry... just let me cool off please." He shook his head and turned on the spot as he walked back into their bedroom and closed the door behind him.

Harry just sighed as he slumped down against the wall. He knew the risks of binding Leo to the symbiote and now he was dealing with them. If only... If only he could help the boy out just some more.

He looked over towards the table. He had to find out what had happened to Oscorp... If Leo hadn't destroyed the lab... then who had?
