As Alec walked towards his room, he reflected on the strangeness of the conversation he'd had with his father. Alec realised that at some point he had simply given up on Robert ever accepting him, and to hear his words meant the world to him. No matter what sins Alec knew Robert was guilty of, he was still his father, and he would always strive for his approval, albeit he did often make this effort subconsciously. Alec was so caught up in his own head he didn't notice Sebastian duck out of his room and join Alec on his walk.
"So, how did it go with your father?" Sebastian asked carefully, knowing that many of the discussions between the two in the past had been rather unpleasant.
"Oh, Sebastian, hey. Ummm, I think it went well… Much better than I thought it would anyway. What are you doing still up?" Alec replied.
"I was just thinking about going back to Idris. My last journey and stay there wasn't all that great," Sebastian said as both men arrived at Alec's door.
"Do you want to come in?" Alec asked, only just realising that Sebastian had never actually stepped foot into his bedroom.
"Yeah, sure," Sebastian said, failing at masking his enthusiasm.
"I can guarantee you this trip will be less complicated than your last," Alec said as Sebastian followed him inside and quickly glanced around.
Alec had never bothered with keeping his room particularly exciting, and everything about it screamed functionality and practicality, at first glance anyway. As Sebastian looked closer in certain places he could see how certain books were more worn than others, and how some were even partially hidden, as if the worlds Alec would lose himself in amongst the pages were all secrets. Alec didn't seem fussed by how Sebastian soaked up the details of his room, and was actually rather surprised how the younger man showed interest most of Alec's more prized possessions, such as the old and crushed stele he was looking at curiously.
"The first time I ever went out hunting I was knocked back, and my stele was in my pocket, and was completely broken. I don't know why I've always kept it as a memento, it's not like I killed the demon, I just managed to get away," Alec said.
"It shows you're not blinded by pride. Many shadow hunters would rather have died foolishly than save themselves," Sebastian said, his expression suddenly somber.
"That's not meant to be the Nephilim way," Alec said softly, noticing the internal struggle within Sebastian.
"If either of my parents hadn't cared about shadow hunter honour, even if only for a moment, than I would never have become an orphan," Sebastian said, his voice surprisingly devoid of emotion, as if he had come to terms with the fate of his family long ago.
"I've never really agreed with many of the teachings of the Clave either," Alec said, and Sebastian finally looked up at him.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to bring my parents up, I actually very rarely talk about them," Sebastian said, clearly having been shocked by how much he'd said.
"Hearing about your past helps me understand you," Alec said, and Sebastian smiled at him softly.
"I don't really remember either of them, I was so young when they died. It's strange, missing two people you don't even know," Sebastian said.
"Do you still miss them?" Alec asked.
"I don't really think about them anymore. I used to feel bad about that, like if I forgot them it meant I didn't love them anymore, but after so long you just kind of get used to it. That's a part of my life I'll just never have again, and I've learned to accept that," Sebastian explained, and as he looked up he noticed that Alec was now standing directly in front of him, looking at him with a strong gaze filled with understanding, and something else Sebastian couldn't quite determine.
"Losing someone…I know it's…it just never goes away," Alec whispered, thinking of Max.
"C'est la vie," Sebastian replied whilst cupping Alec's face in one hand.
Sebastian slowly leaned up and kissed Alec, whilst he used his hand on Alec's face to gently wipe away a silent tear Alec hadn't even noticed he'd shed.
"Just so you know, I don't want to go tomorrow," Sebastian said after he and Alec broke apart.
"What? Why not?" Alec asked.
"Are you really going to make me say it?" Sebastian asked playfully, only leaving Alec more confused. "I don't want to leave you."
Alec looked perplexed for a moment, until he remembered he hadn't told Sebastian what Robert had said to him.
"Well, you don't need to worry about that, because I'm coming too. My Father said I'm needed as well, although he won't say why, which is never a good sign," Alec said, and he saw Sebastian's face immediately brighten.
"Good. We can make it quite the romantic getaway," Sebastian said humorously, no longer dreading the trip as much.
"Having my Father there may not help us create the right atmosphere," Alec pointed out, making Sebastian laugh.
"I forgot about our entourage. He will definitely kill the mood," Sebastian agreed. "How do you think the Clave will decided if I'm a proper shadow hunter?"
Alec had to think for a moment about the question, honestly having no idea himself.
"I guess they'll ask me if you've adjusted. It's the only reason why I can think they'd want me there as well," Alec replied after a minute of consideration.
"Well then, I'll just have to make sure you give the right answer," Sebastian said playfully.
"Oh, and how do you plan to do that?" Alec asked.
"Well I do have a few rather persuasive tricks up my sleeve…" Sebastian said, his eyes locking with Alec's.
"You might just have to show me what you mean by that," Alec said, his voice already sounding slightly huskier.
Instead of replying Sebastian once again leaned up to kiss Alec, however this kiss was not gentle and sweat like the other one, instead it was far more passionate, and Alec immediately wanted more. He licked at Sebastian's lower lip, and he was granted access to the other man's mouth straight away. Alec and Sebastian's tongues battled for dominance, making both of their pulses speed up, but eventually Sebastian gave in, moaning as he felt Alec take control. Alec's hands went to Sebastian's hips, and he gently guided Sebastian towards the bed as the younger man slipped his hands up and under Alec's shirt. By the time Sebastian felt his knees hit the bed he'd already managed to rid Alec of his shirt, and he was making quick progress on Alec's pants, despite the tightness of his leather hunting gear, a detail that Sebastian may have not so innocently noticed before. Somewhere in his mind Alec was aware that he should be slowing down and thinking about this decision, but he was filled with such need for Sebastian that he ignored the conservative part of his mind, and he was soon completely distracted as Sebastian lay down on the bed, and dragged Alec on top of him, reconnecting their lips as he did so. Alec let his hands roam over Sebastian's body, exploring every detail he'd been longing to touch, and soon enough he had also removed Sebastian's shirt. Alec barely had time to register this however, as he felt his pants being pulled off, and he then felt Sebastian's hands trailing over the hem of his underwear, asking permission. Alec rolled his hips against Sebastian, making both men moan, and showing that he was in no way planning to shy away from what was about to happen. Alec gasped when Sebastian tugged his boxers off, his erection finally springing free, and he yanked at Sebastian's clothes, and within no time both Alec and Sebastian were naked. Alec could feel Sebastian's heated gaze on him and judging from the slight smirk on his face he liked what he saw, and the thought made Alec blush. Alec kissed Sebastian with more gentleness than before, and again he rolled his hips, groaning at the delicious friction created now that all clothing barriers were removed, but this alone was not enough for either shadow hunter, and Alec broke away so he could rummage through one of the draws on his bedside table. Soon enough he found what he was looked for, producing a bottle of lube, and Sebastian shifted impatiently as Alec looked at him questioningly. Alec wasn't exactly sure how to ask if it was okay if he topped, as up until that point he had just presumed he would, but Sebastian soon made his intentions clear as he lay back and shifted his hips closer to Alec, who quickly squirted some of the lube onto his fingers. As Alec entered the first digit Sebastian quickly thrust his hips down, and Alec bit his lip at the almost wanton action. As Alec inserted a second finger Sebastian gasped, although Alec soon saw this was not from pain as he whispered the word "more". Alec was only too happy to comply with the request, and as he inserted a third finger he started to feel around, trying to find a certain spot, and he was soon successful.
"Ahhh, yes, Alec! Yes, right there, oh Angel, again, please," Sebastian said, his vocal personality apparently also present in the bedroom.
After a few more times of Alec pushing his fingers against Sebastian's prostate, and becoming impossibly hard from the moans falling from the younger Nephilim's lips, Alec saw that Sebastian was definitely ready. Alec gently pulled his fingers out, and used the lube to coat his member, before readying himself at Sebastian's entrance, quickly spurred into action as Sebastian looked at him with eyes full of lust and pure need. Sebastian threw his head back as Alec slowly pushed in, and he moaned loudly once he felt that Alec was all the way in. Alec kissed along Sebastian's jaw and neck as he waited for him to adjust, and soon enough he felt Sebastian shifting his hips, and Alec started to move. It didn't take long for him to pick up the pace, with Sebastian meeting every one of his thrusts, the sounds escaping his lips increasing in volume as he neared his release.
"Merde, bien, si bien! Ne tu arêtes pas… si parfait," Sebastian practically mewled, and Alec was unsure whether the younger Nephilim even realised he was speaking.
Alec was definitely relieved he'd put a silencing rune on the door the night before, as Sebastian's cries were getting louder, not that Alec would ever ask him to stop, as hearing Sebastian was turning him on even more. Alec could feel the tell tale tightening in his abdomen, and he reached down and wrapped his hand around Sebastian's member, his movements falling slightly out of time as Sebastian's eyes flew open and his gaze connected with Alec's. Sebastian knotted his fingers into Alec's hair as his eyes slipped shut again as his body shuddered, and one last moan escaped his lips as he came, with Alec following soon after. After riding out his orgasm with a couple more thrusts, Alec managed to pull out and fall next to Sebastian, using the last of his energy to so, falling asleep shortly after, with Sebastian snuggled into his side.
A/N Sorry if my French is a bit scratchy, it's been a while since I've used my written French. The translation is: "Shit, good, so good! Don't stop…so perfect". I know the last chapter was a bit short, so I the length of this one should make up for it. Hope you enjoyed the chapter, please review!
