A/N: Just in case you haven't assumed this yet, my story is set after the third episode but before the fourth episode, but I pushed the Sally seeing Josh transform thing back in time, so sorry to everyone who is obsessed with stuff being aligned with canon. Also, I ignored the fact that Josh said he wasn't going to change in the cage room anymore (stopping him from meeting Ray, for now). I was just going to end the story, but then I watched some more of the episodes and they gave me story ideas and I decided I couldn't just leave it at them maybe sort of kind of possibly being together because they declared their liking of each other. Anyways, hope you like the continuation, thanks for reading/reviewing, etc. (Sorry about long A/N)
Josh's Point of View
I… cannot… believe this…
Right now I am sitting on this frumpy, dingy orange couch, making out with my best friend the vampire.
Sure, we started with small pecks and slight hand movements, but now? We are mackin' like nobody's business. After the first, unbelievably soft and ridiculously chaste, kiss, we both sighed enormous sighs and I thought we were done kissing for a while. I thought we were going to talk. I was wrong.
Instead of talking, Aidan moved the hand that he had already placed on my face to the back of my neck and pulled me in for another, more passionate, kiss. I was a little shocked - in a good way - and I left my mouth open just wide enough that he probably thought it was an invitation. So, he slipped his tongue into my mouth, and we kissed until we both ran out of breath.
This time Aidan stopped like he was about to speak, but I, in my infinite wisdom and admittedly awkward cadence, rose up onto my knees and pushed him down onto back, smashing our lips together and pushing his mouth open with my own. I could tell he was a little surprised, but I didn't care. In fact, while I'm here, kissing him, I don't care about a lot of things: I don't care that I am a mess; I don't care that I have to go back to work tomorrow; I don't care that we have to thank Sally later; hell, I don't care if Sally's watching; and I really, really don't care that we're making out on top of my special DVD.
"Hey," Aidan says, breaking our kiss and my train of thought. "What do you say we move this elsewhere?" I can see the innuendo in his eyes. Actually, I can see it pouring out of every pore on both of our bodies. But, I don't know if I'm ready to take it that far.
Don't get me wrong, I've had sex before. I'm no virgin. The problem is that I'm afraid of all the issues that might come up if we do that. Sure, there's the what-does-this-mean, the who's-room-are-we-using, and, of course, the who's-on-top situation - which I have a feeling I'm going to lose - but there's a bigger problem: what if the wolf comes out while we're doing it? I could tear Aidan apart. I couldn't live with myself if I did that. See, I haven't had sex since it happened to me two years ago, but who knows? Even now, while we're making out, I can feel the wolf, just under the surface.
"Aidan… I…" He could tell I didn't want to go that far yet, so - thank God - he just goes back to kissing me. But, he does take control now, rolling us over so that he is lying on top of me. "Was your manhood feeling threatened?" I joke, giggling- LAUGHING. I did not just giggle…
No, yeah, I did. I just giggled because, right now, Aidan is the guy and I am the girl. But that's okay because I got to be the guy first and I'll do it again later.
Sally clearly didn't trust us enough because she just materialized on the coffee table, sitting cross-legged and staring us down. "Good to see you two actually took my advice." She says 'advice,' but what she really means is command. I try to ignore her and continue our make out session, but Aidan stops and turns his head. I swear to God. I think Sally is the only thing in the entire universe that he is afraid of. He'll never say it, but I know.
At first I just try to regain his attention by kissing up his neck, but that doesn't work, so I glare at Sally. "Do you mind?" I ask angrily. Aidan's attention snaps back to me and he looks shocked. I feel the house start to tremble a little, signaling Sally's frustration. But, she throws up her arms in surrender and mists away, so I go back to kissing my… Aidan. I don't know what I'm supposed to call him. But, like I said earlier: when I'm kissing him, I don't really care.
Aidan's Point of View
Ugh… Finally…
I know, I know: I kind of just figured out that I like him this way, but it took us forever to get to the good stuff.
We started so slow. I told him I loved him and I gave him a prolonged but definitely innocent peck on the lips to make sure he felt the same. Oh, but now! He is getting into it and I am feeling good. My God, his lips were so soft that after that first kiss I had to take a breath. It wasn't just his lips, though. He had accepted my offer, and then I had to be ready to finalize the deal.
I ran my hand around to the back of his neck, pulling him back in for a stronger kiss. He seemed to be ready and he opened his mouth slightly, inviting me in. We tongue kissed for quite some time. I could tell he was out of breath, so I allowed him to pull away. I could tell that I had sealed the deal effectively, so I was ready to talk.
After only a moment's respite, Josh rose up onto his knees, placed his warm hands on my shoulders, and pushed me into a lying position on the couch, kissing me so fiercely that I could already feel the bruises forming. I was shocked, but that felt good, it felt right. While we kiss, everything feels right. Regardless of my being a monster, regardless of my thirst for blood, regardless of Bishop and Marcus and all the other vampires, regardless of all the ways my life sucks - no pun intended - everything feels right.
Now I realize that he probably wants to take this to the next level. I don't know if I'm ready, but if he is, then I'm willing. "Hey," I start, breaking the intense kissing, "What do you say we take this elsewhere?"
There's an awful pause after I ask the question and I feel like I may have made a mistake. That question is going to bring some problems to the surface. It'll bring the usual relationship issues like where they'll sleep and who gets to be on top - which I know I'll win - but I'm more concerned with the bloodlust issue. I know that all the other vampires say that werewolf blood is repulsive, and I mostly agree, but with Josh… It's like I've grown to tolerate - no, not just tolerate - I've grown to like the smell of Josh. I fear this may mean that I could try to feed on him while we consummate our relationship.
Josh's face gets a little concerned, and then he breaks the silence, "Aidan… I…" Oh, thank God! He isn't ready either. I am so relieved… but, I do want to keep kissing him. So, following my instincts, I roll us over and peck quickly just before I feel him giggling - he is such a girl. "Was your manhood feeling threatened?" He asks playfully. I don't know what he's talking about.
No, that's not true. I do know what he's talking about; and, he's right. But that's okay, because I was dominant first, and I can work on letting him have control later.
Sally, that meddling and distrustful ghost, popped back into the room to check up on us. She stared at us from the coffee table. "Good to see you two actually took my advice." Her 'advice' wasn't really as subtle as she probably thinks it was, but I was thankful for it. I stop making out with Josh and turn my head to politely ask Sally to leave, but Josh is kissing at my neck and it feels so good I can't even think straight. Josh is probably pissed. He loves Sally, but he gets irate when she just pops in like this.
Josh stops kissing my neck and I'm about to speak, but I see the aggravated glare on Josh's face and he speaks before I can: "Do you mind?" The irritation in his voice is practically tangible. Sally's face - and the localized trembles of the earth - show her frustration with his tone. But, she is in a good enough mood that she throws up her arms in a congratulatory way and evaporates from the room. Josh pulls me back into kissing. My mind enters rapture and the troubling world melts away. Like I said: when I'm kissing him, everything feels right.
A/N: Sorry again about the long author notes, but I just had to say that I had sooo much fun writing this chapter.
