Hidden Fangs (Arekushisu and Me, R, +18, Mature, Private)

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

"Alright then..." He replies, not really minding that they weren't going to east like he'd planned, considering he wasn't even hungry to begin with. He'd only suggested this to get out of the house really, before they had to go to school for the majority of the day. Parking the car along the curb, close to the store that Eric had pointed out, he turns off the car and gets out, waiting like usual for the other to get out as well, and locking it behind them.

 

He listened to Eric talk, a small smile forming at the things that were said. Kristopher had been pretty sure that before the other had found out about his true nature, no doubt the human was confused as to how he'd known all that stuff about vampire lore. Hearing protests on getting anything to eat though, he sighs. "At least get something small...it will help you heal. Trust me." He takes Eric's hand in his again, and leads them up to the old bookstore, opening the door and going inside the dimly lit area, the smell of old books and paper filling his nose, dust making him sneeze. Unfortunately for Kristopher, his sense of smell was much greater than Eric's, so it smelled a lot worse than it would to Eric, and it also made his eyes water.

 

Glancing around, he smirks. "And you're right, this place probably does have a lot of stuff...though to be honest, I don't know why you're so interested in the topic...it's a dark one, and it's depressing..." He shrugs though, letting it seem as if it really didn't matter. "But anyways, pick out what you want, and I'll get it, okay?" His eyes look back and forth, noticing small details no doubt left unseen by Eric, making him shift uneasily where he was standing. "And maybe we shouldn't stick around too long, yeah?"

[Arekushisu]

Eric got out of the car after Kris smiling as he had stopped where he had asked. He skipped up to him and smiled lhglty but it faded as he was told to eat and he whimpered, "I dont want to eat anything though..." he said softly his fingers lacing with Kris's as he was lead into the book store. The welcoming scent of old books and scrolls hit his nose and he smiled softly but when he looked up at Kris he stopped. "Are you alright? We can leave if we must..." he said softly leaning up and kissing the others chin.

 

He looked about them and he smiled softly, "I am interested because you are my lover...I wish to know.." he said softly looking back at him pulling on his hand as he walked further into the bookstore. "Plus, it wont hurt me to know the history..if it involves you." he said softly and his fingers trailed on the books that were on the shelves. All were mythology and old stories and he smiled lightly, "Help me find something? Yea? You know I cant tell what is real and what is not you'll have to tell me." he said his fingers tightening around Kris's as he looked around.

 

He thought it odd that there was no store clerk but he said nothing. He looked around still noticing small symbols on each book shelf which he believed meant something but he wasn't sure what. He winced lightly hearing a loud bang from somewhere in the back of the store and he looked up at Kris. "We can go really...if you think it is unsafe for us here." he said softly his own thoughts about the place turning from good to bad. "Lets just get a few things and go.." he said as he moved against Kris's side making him feel safer.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Kristopher said nothing to what Eric was saying, instead forces himself to move forward, and choose a few books off of the shelf, helping the other pick out good books from the bad. Ending up with four of them, all very old and rather antique in appearance, he heads towards the back of the building, looking for a place to purchase them. "We really need to leave. This place is giving off some bad vibes. I don't like how it is making me..." He stops dead in his tracks when he spots the counter where purchases were made. And saw who was standing behind it, staring at him. "Feel..."

 

Automatically he gets into a defensive position, glaring at the individual. "What the hell are you doing here?" Kristopher growls, baring his teeth at the person, who just stared, obviously unamused and not phased in the least by the outright aggressiveness of Kristopher's behavior. "I know that you're here for a reason...He sent you didn't he?!" Even in the dim light, one could see the person's eyes, glowing blood red beneath a dark hood, and for some reason, the lower half of his face was covered with a mask.

 

"I'm here...to sell books..." The person replies, his voice monotone, almost dead sounding. But it was obvious he wasn't from around there, as his voice was thick with what sounded like a Transylvanian accent. "Nothing more...He did not...send me." Reaching a hand out, which was covered in bandages, he stares at Kristopher. "Now then...are you here...to buy those books...or not?"

 

Kristopher glances at Eric, then back to the person. "I swear to you, Taciturn Dracul, if you're lying to me, I will find you and rip your limbs off one by one. Got me?" For a moment Taciturn says nothing, staring blankly with those glowing red eyes right back at Kristopher. Then he speaks up. "Desigur." The expression on his face remains blank, unreadable. "Now then...are you...purchasing those books...or not?"

 

[Arekushisu]

Eric moved side by side with Kris as he tensely moved around the store picking out books for him. He looked up at him as they walked through the aisles of books and he was uneasy. The look on Kris's face made him worry, made him scared almost. If his lover, as powerful as he was, was uneasy and tensed up then he the human, the weak one, should be tense too even more so than his lover. He let his fingers roll over the books for he held two of the four that Kris would be buying for them while his other hand still clasped onto the older males hand.

 

He moved with Kris and he smiled softly up to kris but it instantly faded as he heard what he was saying. They turned into the center of the book store and started walking back and he felt every muscle in Kris's body tense up. He instantly moved behind his lover some but still was able to see. He stayed silent throughout the entire transaction of words between the hooded figure and his lover. He then waited till they were done and when the hooded figure asked again he cleared his throat and tightened his grip on kris's hand. "Yes. We would like to buy the books. Or rather i would." he took the books from Kris and let go of his hand as he walked up to the counter.

 

He kept his gaze lowered and he sat the books on the counter rather than in the outstretched hand. "I like your bookstore, it is very nice. Although it is sort of unwelcoming...but I would read in it." he chuckled softly and looked back at Kris. "Love, give me your wallet or toss it to me if you wish not to walk over here." he put on a cool attitude but really he was frightened of the man before him and all of his senses were stretched out to him. Instinctively he seemed to know what to do with the person before him, but he resisted the urge and he smiled to him waiting for him to ring up the books so they could pay and get out of there.

 

Eric didnt know how the clerk and Kris knew one another but no doubt about it that the hooded man before them was a vampire. And he was selling books for humans, it occured to eric that vampires were everywhere around hm, and he had only been too busy and too blind to notice. He assumed they all laughed at them, the stupid humans for being so ignorant when it came to the supernatural. He would have to ask about it later, who this man was, and how he knew kris.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Kristopher had fallen silent, not saying anything else, but was surprised when Eric suddenly speak up, the human having moved forward towards the counter, placing the books down. Taciturn just looks at Eric, his blank expression giving away no sign of acknowledgment that there was a human in front of him, but instead nods, ringing the books up without any word said at all. In fact, the masked male looked quite bored, not responding to the comments that were made toward the bookstore, instead just nodding.

 

Doing as he was told, Kristopher pulls out his wallet and hands it to Eric, though once it was in the human's hand he backs away, keeping the distance between himself and Taciturn. "...$16.72...is how much...it will be..." Taciturn says, voice as bland as ever, placing the books in a sack, and setting it on the counter, waiting for Eric to pay. Once he had, he puts the money in a cash register, and paying back any change that was needed. "Come again..." Kristopher doesn't wait any longer, and once that was all over with, he hurries out of the store, not looking back, his hand holding onto Eric's once more.

 

He doesn't stop walking until they get to the car, getting inside and waiting for Eric to get inside, before taking off, still quiet, though he was shaking slightly. It was obvious there was something about Taciturn that got to Kristopher, but it was also another obvious thing that Kris wasn't going to say what it was, not now anyways. "Let's just go to the school, okay?" He says, not taking his eyes off the road, wanting badly to forget that what had happened, happened. Today was not starting out very well, that was for sure...

[Arekushisu]

Eric fell silent as he noticed neither the males speaking up to him. He took the wallet from Kris silently and he payed the money needed and he sighed gently smiling softly to the hooded man. "Thank you." he then turned putting the receipt in the bag he was given and sliding his hand to Kris's back pocket letting the wallet fit there before pulling his hand out and lacing his fingers with Kris's It took alot for him to keep up with the large stride his lover had but he didn't falter. He slid into his seat and sighed softly letting the books fall from his hands, they were shaking. He looked up at Kris and he shook his head, "I dont want to go to school." he said feeling almost sick.

 

"K-Kris can you pull over I think I'm going to be sick.." he said softly his voice shaking as he held his stomach. "I dont want to go to school...just take me somewhere else...where you can explain some of whats going on...you cant leave me in the dark anymore!" he said his eyes watering. "I love you Kris...you have to talk to me I dont know whats going on and I'm scared...this morning you completely zone out...and then now there is some fucking scary man after you?" he was breathing heavily, probably about to go into some form of a panic attack for his breathing was speeding up. He really just needed Kris right now, to hold him, kiss him even, tell him everything was going to be okay when he knew better.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Glancing at Eric, who had spoken up, asking for the car to be pulled over, saying he felt like he was going to be sick, Kris does as requested. Pulling to the curb, he parks the car, rolls down the windows slightly, and turns the car off, looking now fully at the human, wondering what was going on inside the other's mind. He easily could figure it out, but he had a rule in not going around and budgering in other people's minds, saying that a man's mind was his last safe haven. "You may not want to be in the dark anymore,. but I can't tell you!" Kristopher says desperately, wanting to answer the questions, but knowing he could not.

 

The zone out was mentioned, and he quickly looks away, falling quiet, then speaks up, his voice soft, but serious. "Eric...I know this isn't what you need to hear now, but...I've been thinking, and well...I need to go somewhere for a bit. Alone. It will only be a few days, and...I'll even introduce you to a friend of mine. He'll keep you safe. HE knows that you're special to me, and will probably come after you. I wish I could say I didn't need to do this, but I do. It's for your safety, as well as mine."

 

Sighing, he leans back in the car's seat, running his hand over his face. "Everything will get better, much better, but only once I figure out what is going on. You might think you're the only one who doesn't know anything that is going on, but...some of these things even I don't understand. So, to figure it out...I need to go." Looking directly at Eric, he gets a worried smile upon his face, before leaning over and kissing the human lightly. "Just trust me okay?" He leans back, chuckling softly. "It's ironic really...a Vampire asking a human to trust him..." He looks out the window, silent a moment, before speaking up again. "And...if you don't want to go to school, we can just go and meet up with my friend, okay? So you can get to know him..."

[Arekushisu]

Eric panted lightly finally letting the tight grip on the handle of the car lessen as they came to a stop. He moved so he was sitting up now in his seat his breathing slowing some as he unbuckled and was able to actually stop moving. He heard Kris's voice and he instantly felt better, he then let the feeling fall as he listened to Kris speak. He knew that some of the things he had to stay in the dark but he couldn't take it much anymore. He hadn't known about anything, and now he still knew nothing any different than before.

 

Eric looked out the window and he winced instantly hearing Kris's words. "W-what...? What do you mean-" he didn't get to say more for Kris explained himself more. He told him that he needed to go away, for a few days maybe longer and the feeling of complete dread and pain filled his heart. He felt the soft kiss to his lips like a light pressure, Eric was completely numb now to everything. He was losing Kris, he looked down and he slid his fingers to Kris's hand and he pulled on if making the male move to him some. "I don't want to be with anyone but you...if you are leaving me for as long as you say...give me the best day before you leave..." He said looking up at Kris tears in his eyes. "I don't mean sex in the back of a car...I-I mean take me out and show me how special I am to you...and then love me in a bed again..." He said sliding his arms around Kris's neck.

 

"I don't want you to go anywhere...I don't want you to leave me...b-but I trust you with my life. And I'll let you go...long as you promise you'll come back to me..." He said gently his eyes searching those bright colored ones of Kris's. He looked down and he couldn't help but have his shoulders shake as tears welled in his eyes. "You have to promise you'll come back Kris...I love you...you can't leave right after you became mine." He said almost so soft he himself didn't hear it but he knew that Kris would be able to hear it like a scream. His hands clenched in Kris's shirt on his back as he stayed looking down before he moved pressing his lips gently to Kris's almost hesitantly, worried he would be pushed away.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Hearing the requests of him, he sighs softly. As much as he wanted to do so, to give the human what he wanted, he could not. And no matter how affectionate the other got, feeling the arms wrapping softly around his neck, the warm body against his own, he could not give in. He had to show self control. Looking back into those eyes, that showed so much life, he sighs softly. "I can not. I can not give you what you want. But what I can do...is promise you that I will come back...I promise." He kisses Eric back softly, giving him that much at least, before slowly pulling away.

 

"I need to leave soon though, preferably sometime tomorrow or the day after. But before that happens...you absolutely need to meet up with my friend. He will keep you safe in my stead." He places his hand gently onto Eric's cheek, letting his thumb lightly rub against the fragrant skin that he loved so much. He told himself right then and there that he WOULD come back, there was no letting that go, no way would he ever let Eric slip away from him, nor would he ever just abandon the other male.

 

"And...when I come back...I will give you what you want. I will give you ten times, no...one hundred times more than you asked for...it will be something you will NEVER forget...Alright?" He looks deep into Eric's eyes, his own oddly colored ones starting to get watery in appearance, but he quickly rubs them, wiping away the tears that threatened to fall. He hated seeing Eric like this, and if he could and had the option, he would have offered to let Eric come with...but sadly that wasn't something that could happen, not for this.

[Arekushisu]

Eric didn't need to hear the words come from Kris's mouth the shake of his head as Eric moved in to kiss him. The look on his face, everything said it all, he would get no such thing, he would get nothing like he asked for, no love, no happy day before then. Tears spilled over and he pulled his eyes down from Kris's face allowing him to kiss him. "R-right yea...sorry I asked.." he said lightly and he leaned his face into Kris's hand as he felt it touch his cheek. He was, confused, he needed to be let in to be told what the hell was going on but he knew that was also another thing he wouldnt get. Loneliness filled his heart, and his body ached for that of Kris's, he had already been rejected flat out now Kris was treating him like he was special and turning around telling him he wasnt.

 

He shook his head lightly and looked up at Kris, "I-I just want to be with you..I dont want to meet your friend...I dont want to be with anyone.." he said his heart falling as he watched Kris. "...will you at least tell me goodbye before you leave...?" he asked softly hearing that Kris would be leaving within the next day or so. He couldnt help but cry, he felt like he was losing his lover and he knew that Kris didnt treat him like they were lovers all the time but recently it had been better and he loved ever minute.

 

He resorted to silence as he listened to Kris talk as his hand moved to Kris's on his cheek and he closed his eyes listening to the promises he was making and he blinked up finally when he was finished, "You...you cant say all of this and never come back..I'll be crushed..." he said softly looking up at him. "Dont promise me something that isnt going to come true...specially if you know.." he said softer and he looked away. "...I trust you...but...i-i'm scared that you wont come back...and you'll leave me here..." he said his voice breaking as he covered his mouth keeping in the sobs that threatened to break from his lips. He had never loved anyone like he had Kris before, and although he was saying he would be gone for a few days, Eric knew it would probably be longer, and Kris seemed to think Eric was better off with out him so he was frightened that he would leave..and never look back.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Kristopher could tell this conversation was going nowhere at all, so starts up the car again, a little annoyed at this point. Yes, he understood what the human was feeling right then, did Eric think that he was the only one feeling crushed right then? No, he wasn't, but he was being selfish, and only thinking about himself. "You may say all this, but I don't make promises I can't keep. And you said you don't want to see my friend, but right now, I think that's the best option." He sighs softly, feeling bad that he was being so blunt with the other male, but his tears...Eric's tears made the heart he thought he didn't have feel like it was being stabbed over and over again, squeezed into oblivion.

 

"So, don't worry, okay? I'll call, and email you, everyday." He glances out the corner of his eye at Eric, a frown forming on his own lips now, but he refused to cry. Now was not the time. Rolling down the windows more, air coming through and cooling them down to a comfortable temperature, he turns the music on, but keeps it low, his finger tapping to the beat of the song that was playing. "It'll be a little bit before we get to where he is, so are you sure you don't want anything to eat? It'll be close to an hour drive..."

[Arekushisu]

Eric could tell that Kris was done loving on him, he instantly pulled away from him and he sat down into his seat. He wiped his eyes and turned his head listening to Kris half heartedly. He was hurting, he new that Kris would come back if he could but what would happen if he never did. Eric leaned his head against the door and he shook his head, "I'm not hungry...I dont want to eat." he said simply and he hugged his waist after rebuckling his seatbelt. If Kris was going to be so blunt and hard to him then he wouldnt show his own feelings. He pulled his legs up into the seat with him and he sighed. "You dont have to call me or email me..just come back to me safely and I'll be happy.." he said coldly his heart feeling like they were going to split.

 

He moved his hands up to his face and held them there curling up into his own ball. He knew that Kris was speaking the truth, and saying that he wasnt was a dick move on Eric's part but he was scared that he wouldnt make it back to him. After a few minutes of complete silence he looked straight up. "I'm sorry for saying you arent gonna keep your promises...I know you will I guess I'm just scared..so I'm sorry for what I said.." he didnt look at kris, he didnt want to. He would start crying again if he looked at the man next to him and Kris hated it when he cried. Eric thought he was a baby and he knew he was, but he hated it when Kris said he was annoying...for crying. He would silently do as Kris asked of them like he wanted and he would meet his friend just as he wanted to.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

"Alright then. Well, when you do get hungry, please tell me okay?" His shoulders slump slightly, and biting his lip lightly, staring ahead at the road, trying to keep the tears that threatened to fall from doing so, feeling them sting at his eyes. He could not, he would not, cry, in front of Eric. Not again. It made him feel too guilty. His eyebrows press together at the next thing that Eric said to him, apologizing for saying that he wasn't going to keep his promise. A few seconds pass, nothing said for a moment, until Kristopher sighs softly. "It's fine...d-don't worry about it. I...understand." He understood completely, because sadly, he'd been in a similar situation before. Except it was with someone leaving him, promising to come back...but they never did.

 

He falls silent, and for that time he'd said, nothing was said from him, until they arrive at his friends place. Pulling up into a gravel drive way to a rather old looking Gothic Victorian house could be seen. Parking the car, he turns it off, and gets out, waiting for Eric to join him before walking up the staircase that led to the front door. Pausing, he takes a deep breath before knocking on the door, and glances at Eric.

 

"Just a heads up. My friend is, uh...a bit eccentric and rather...unique. A foreign goofball, if I must describe him as such..." He frowns a tiny bit, and rolls his eyes. "That and he rather sucks at answering doors..." He knocks again, a bit louder than before, and after a moment footsteps could be heard coming towards the door, bolts and chains unlock, and the door opens, revealing a slightly tall, very skinny, white haired individual, with purple eyes, pale skin, and a rather unique purple design under his left eye. His clothing was tattered and torn, and he looked like he was poor, despite the house he was living in.

 

"Dzień dobry?" His eyes look to Eric, than to Kristopher. "Hey there Noctis." Kristopher says, and smiles a little bit. "Oh! Kristopher, hey-hi! Jak się masz? How are you? Come in, come in!" He opens the door, stepping inside, and Kristopher follows, motioning for Eric to follow. It was dim inside, reflecting the outside within. Just as the outside looked old, it was inside as well, with lots of antiques and old things. Walking through the house, they end up in a rather unique looking sitting room, with lots of old furniture, paintings and pretty much anything you'd find in a really old house.

 

"Sit, sit! Who is this might I ask?" Noctis looks to Eric, smiling. "Um, this is Eric, my, uh....boyfriend. Eric, this is Noctis." Kristopher blushes, and sits down on the couch. "Ah, I see, I see! That is nice, nice to meet you Eric! Would you like something to drink, anything to eat?" He smiles brightly, motioning for Eric to sit as well.

 

 

[Arekushisu]

Eric nodded lightly and just decided to stay quiet. He wiped his eyes here and there trying to stop the tears that didnt seem to want to stop. He sighed softly and pulled his legs even closer to his chest closing his eyes. He didnt want to eat, he didnt want to sleep, he didnt want to do anything but lay with Kris and watch the world fall to black. But that wouldnt happen...Kris was leaving him and he knew it. His heart hurt and he could do nothing about it, he decided to try and ignore the feeling but that didnt work either. Instead he slowly drifted off into sleep as the car lulled him to a place between sleep and consciousness.

 

Eric didnt need to be woken up he felt the car jerk as it was stopped and the engine cut off. He sat up and rubbed his eyes his clothes moving against him making him wince, he didnt want to wear them, he wanted to be naked instead...with Kris. He sighed and noticed Kris already out and he looked at the car door handle and then to Kris before he opened the door and got out. He didnt move to take the others hand knowing that Kris wanted nothing to do with him, he had pushed him away not long before and he couldnt take that pain again. Instead he silently waited as Kris knocked on the door nodding as he heard the explanation to his friend not answering right away.

 

When the door opened he blushed lightly as he was onced over by the white haired man standing in the doorway. He nodded to Kris as he was let into the home a soft blush still on his cheeks from the look he had gotten from the white haired male. As they walked through the house fallowing Noctis, Eric could't held his eyes. They wondered around him at all the small little figures and antiques the man had in his home. He smiled softly as they passed a library wanting to go in and touch every book to see its secrets but instead he didnt stray from the group. Silently he waited as Kris and the man talked and he looked around the small sitting room taking into account the size and the style. He liked it, the old look of the home and he liked the mans rather odd style.

 

When he was mentioned he flinched lightly and blushed smiling to Noctis, "No thank you, I'm not hungry." he said and sat down on the chair that was motioned for him to sit in. He looked over at Kris and smiled before he looked up at Noctis, "I love your home, it is beautiful." he said softly marveling at the small things in the home like the library. He blushed darker as he noticed he had talked out of turn and he closed his mouth looking away from both of the men. He felt out of place, he was a lowly human, compared to the two very strong and very skilled vampires. He hated it, the experience levels and the age gap they all had. He decided to shut up and only speak when spoken too, he was already on a bad side with Kris because he aked for one small request, he knew he was leaving and the small thought made him want to start bawling again.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

"Ah, okay then. Don't hesitate to ask if you do get hungry, yeah?" Noctis smiles even more, sitting on a third chair, crossing his legs and looking to Kristopher, who looked as if he was feeling a bit restless at that moment. It appeared as if he was about to say something, when Eric spoke up, complimenting Noctis on his home, who looks over at the human, his violet eyes glowing pleasantly. "Dziękuję! Thank you!" He laughs softly, as if having heard or seen something funny, before glancing at Kristopher.

 

"Um, Noc, you're probably wondering why I'm here." Kristopher begins, staring at his hands, which were in his lap. Noctis nods. "Well, I'm going to be leaving for a bit, and um, was wondering if you could...Take in Eric, keep him safe." He looks up, glancing from Eric to Noctis. Noctis had a surprised look, but it settles eventually, replaced once more by that warm smile. "Of course I can, if Eric is alright with that? I have several spare rooms if he wants to stay?" This question was aimed at Eric, Noctis now looking at the human.

 

Kristopher waits in suspense, his hands wringing lighting in his lap, waiting on the edge of his seat, his eyes practically begging Eric to accept the offer. Noctis, on the other hand, was once more looking amused, and suddenly shakes his head. "Eric, you think I am a vampire too?" He asks, making Kris blink suddenly. That was something he'd forgotten to mention, he knew he had forgotten to tell the human something. "I am not. But I am not human either..." A sudden frown forms, though almost instantly disappears, once again having that smile.

 

"And please, do not think of yourself as a lowly human, or that you don't belong here, out of place. Here, that all goes away." Noctis practically glowed with enthusiasm and encouragement to the human. He leans forward, resting his chin on his hands, elbows on his knees. "So, with me, you can tell anything. I listen, and I help."

[Arekushisu]

Eric tilted his head his hair falling into his face slightly as he listened to Kris speak. He sighed lightly under his breath hearing that exact same line, if you get hungry just ask! He said he wasn't hungry meaning he wasn't hungry. He didn't want to eat, speaking of he hadn't eaten since the night before when Kris's mother cooked for him after Kris drank from him. He did really need to eat..but he wasn't hungry. He leaned back in his seat simply nodding to the man who had offered him food and he looked at Kris awaiting what he was going to say.

 

He was shocked to hear him, he hadn't said anything about spending the night with this man. Let alone staying with him the entire time Kris was away. Eric moved to object but he noticed the look Kris flashed at him and he shut his mouth. He sat patiently for his time to talk and when he was asked a question as if he wanted to stay or not he stopped. Did he? His father was still in the hospital and even if he was out he didn't want to go back to that home of all places. He looked at Kris and was about to speak up to him when he heard Noctis speak.

 

A deep blush fell over his cheeks and anger filled his bones. He was reading his mind, what an asshole! He snapped his head over to the male and he scoffed, "You know that that is rather rude. My thoughts are my own and if you plan to read them you shouldn't voice them! They are thoughts for a reason!" He crossed his arms and looked at Kris. "I don't even let you read my mind! ITS RUDE!" he looked away from both men. He sighed and lost all fight in him and looked at Noctis, "Please if you have to go searching through my thoughts, do not talk about them in front of anyone but myself. I would appreciate it. And if you could not look into my head that would be even greater." he looked away. "Sorry for my outburst but I really don't appreciate that. I'll stay with you. I have no where else to go anyway.."

 

He looked down at his hands a huge blush on his cheeks for what he had said, he really didn't like others going into his privacy. Let alone someone who just opened his thoughts out for Kris to hear. Those were his thoughts, they were in his brain, if he wanted Kris and Noctis to hear he would voice them but he didn't thats why they stayed within the safety of his own mind. He was pissed, Noctis was laughing at him like he was stupid and he didn't appreciate it, he didn't look at either of them instead he kept his face to the ground and didn't let his thoughts wonder too far.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

As Eric yelled, Kristopher's eyes grow dangerously narrow, eyebrows furrowing, a frown on his lips, and Noctis looked as if he'd been slapped in the face, shock spreading across it, a hurt look in his own violet eyes, bottom lip starting to tremble ever so slightly. "I...can't help it...Przepraszam bardzo...I am very sorry..." He looks away, now completely avoiding looking at the human, and Kristopher shakes his head softly, before sighing. "Well, at least he agreed to stay...But please...Don't take offense to what Noctis does. He truly can not help the things he does."

 

He looks away, then right at Eric. "And even though you say you don't let me, it isn't your choice whether or not I can go through your mind. I choose not to. If I wanted to, I could force myself in, trust me. But that's something I will never do. Because yes, your thoughts are your own..." Sighing again, he stands up, and brushes his hands over his pants. Noctis remains where he was sitting, quiet and sullen, having a rather sad expression.

 

Kristopher looks to Noctis, then to Eric. "Maybe you should explain exactly what you are Noctis? That is, if Eric is willing to listen and not judge..." Crossing his arms over his chest, his face had gone blank, but his eyes looked to Eric as if he were begging the human to listen to his friend, to hear him out, an explanation.

[Arekushisu]

Eric looked away his chest hurting as he heard Kris speak. "It's fine..." He said softly to the white haired male and he kept his eyes on his knees. He pulled them up into the chair with him and he sighed hearing Kris once more talk about his mind. "If you ever did force yourself into my thoughts, I would never trust you again. And that would be on you.." He said softly under his breath knowing Kris could hear it but possibly not the other male. "I'm sorry for my outburst...if you say you can't help it then fine. But please try..." He said softly looking up at the white haired male not even glancing at Kris.

 

"I'll listen...but not now.." He said gently to Noctis standing and hugging his waist. "Are you leaving yet..? No need to stick around now that you have gotten me here..." He said softly to Kris looking up at him. He shook his head and held his stomach feeling the pain as it sank. "I need some air.." He said almost weakly as he walked out of the room. He couldn't take it, Kris leaving it was tearing him up. He didn't know if he would come back or not and the fact he may not come back was something that hurt him even more.

 

Eric rushed to the first available door that led outside and gladly leaned onto the wall in the shade. He was panting and his hands were shaking and he didn't know why, he knew he was upset but he didn't know why it was effecting him so much. He slid down the wall leaning his head back on the wall tears forming and spilling down his cheeks. He curled his legs up to his chest and hugged them hiding his face in his knees. He was breaking down, Kris promised he would come back..but the last person that had said that never came back. He was scared, and he wanted Kris to kiss him and tell him he loved him but he knew better than to wat that from him. He wouldn't get it, he knew that but he still clung onto him even with the cold behavior Kris showed him. He wanted to be alone, anything was better than being with Kris when he was like this, cold.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Kristopher watches as Eric leaves, eyes narrowing even more than they already were. This was starting to get out of hand. For some reason, Eric always thought was about him, as if the whole world centered around him, as if no one close could ever be their own, do their own, be alone, or do anything without him. Glancing at Noctis, he gets up and follows the human, finding him outside. For a moment he stood there, hands at his side, itching to slap the guy, but he does not. Instead, he kneels down, in front of him.

 

"You know...you're being really selfish." That was all he said, and it was obvious that he was upset with Eric. "Life isn't all about you. You don't always get what you want, so you throw a tantrum. You get told no, and you get upset and start crying. It's understandable sometimes, but right now, you're being really selfish. I'm trying to stay strong here, do what is right for BOTH of us, and yet you can't seem to get that in your mind." He reaches out, and takes a hold of Eric's chin, gently forcing the human to look at him. "If I could, I would take you with me. But it's not safe. And right now, even though I know you want it, I can not make love to you, what would happen if I went out of control? I couldn't live with myself knowing I hurt you." He leans forward, and gently kisses Eric on the lips before pulling back slightly.

 

"So please, stop the petty self-pity, and be strong...for me?" He looks deep into Eric's eyes, his own practically begging. "I promise. Things will get better. You just need to believe. And stop thinking of only what YOU want, and start thinking of how others feel for a change." With that he stands up, and sighs softly. "But I do need to get going to pack some things. You're free to go with me until I leave, and get some of your stuff that you might need while you stay here. Clothes, personal stuff, etc." Waiting, he wondered what Eric would chose, if the other would actually listen to his words or just do what he usually did and be a big baby.

[Arekushisu]

Eric said nothing, Kris's words really hurt his feelings. Tears threatened to leave his eyes as he watched Kris tell him how inconsiderate he was and how much of an ass he could really be. He wanted to pull his chin away from the others fingers and tell him to fuck off..but as Kris leaned into him and kissed him so gently it felt like a light brush on his cheek. His resolve shattered. He said nothing and he looked at Kris before he looked down his head staying where it was. He didnt want to say anything more to make Kris even more upset than he already was. He didnt just think about himself, usually he thought about Kris as well, but he wouldnt defend himself..he was already hurt enough.

 

He watched as Kris stood and he wanted nothing more than to cry and he stood as well brushing his clothes off. "Sounds fine to me.." he said gently and wiped his eyes. "Sorry...guess I'm not that good of a person after all..." he ran a hand through his hair and looked down. "I'll try and do better.." he then nodded and started to leave. "I need to stop by my house...I dont have any clothes at your house other than the ones I take to school, so I'll need you to drop me off there. And you could just leave me there till you are done packing and pick me up, just text me or call before you start heading back to get me." He said his voice not holding a hint of the pain his chest was feeling.

 

He walked back to the sitting room and sighed softly, "My apologies for acting like a child Noctis. Thank you for letting me stay in your care while Kris is away. I appreciate it...I'm going to have him take me to my house get a few things then I should be back here." he said gently and smiled. "I am really sorry for what I said to you! I guess all the stress is just getting to me.." he said gently and looked away knowing that Noctis could hear what he was really thinking, as the words of what Kris said replayed in his head again and again he could hear how much of an impact they had. He looked at him one last time, "I would love to hear about you when I get back as well...if you still dont mind telling me. I promise I wont be as rude." he chuckled gently and looked away leaving Noctis with his thoughts only and heading for the front door. He knew if he stopped for a moment he would break down and do the one thing Kris hated, cry.

 

Eric knew that what Kris was doing was for the best but he was still scared he wouldnt come back. Or that he would get hurt while he was away, and he would never see him again. All normal paranoid thoughts running through his head of how his lover, or rather...almost lover would possibly never make it back to him. His hands moved on the front door and he opened it heading out to the car his heart racing. He needed to move, he needed to do something to keep himself from thinking about the words Kris had said or about the fact he may never see him again, or even the fact Kris was Scared to touch him. He paced lightly as he waited for Kris to come out to the car his hands shaking but his face showed none of the pain he was feeling on the inside and he wouldnt show Kris, if thats what he wanted. He would never show him again, a crying Eric it seemed was something Kris never wanted to see. He would keep it to himself from now on..he would hide.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Kristopher watches as Eric gets up and goes inside, wondering just what the other was doing. Despite the other male trying to hide the pain and misery he was feeling, Kristopher could feel it. Like Noctis could 'hear' thoughts of those around him, Kristopher could 'feel' the emotions of any person nearby. Well, the emotions of humans anyways. It was his way of experiencing emotion to it's fullest, since being what he was he was not completely capable of 'feeling' things. Sadness, anger, hope, happiness...those were all superficial, fake. He wore them, acted them, but could not feel them. And the emotions that Eric felt, despair, pain, misery, all those...they felt terrible...and he never wanted to deal with them. But he knew, that with being human, came things like that.

 

Noctis does not look up when Eric comes into the room, though he does listen to what was being said, and nods. "It is alright. Do not worry about it. I am sure you had your reasons...to get upset. And have your reasons for staying upset." He pauses, and sighs softly, though was glad that Eric was willing to talk more. "And yes, when you get back, if you really want, I will tell you about me...while you are gone, I shall work on your room. See you in a bit..." With that, he gets up, and walks away, bidding Eric farewell for now, before going up a set of stairs to do what he just said, fixing up the best extra room.

 

Kristopher had to do some things before going to the car, and when he did he saw Eric was already there. Without any words, he gets in, waits for Eric, then drives off, heading towards Eric's house and dropping him off. "I'll text you when I am coming, alright?" He pauses, and looks away, hands on the wheel. "I...love you Eric." With that, he drives off, not looking back, and heads to his own place, to gather a few of his things, items he needed, packing them in less than three bags equaling a backpack, a carry-on, and a messenger bag. He decides to wait a bit, to give Eric time, and sits on his bed, pulling out his cellphone and going online, ordering plane tickets to where he needed to go.

[Arekushisu]

Eric waited outside patiently for Kris forcing himself to stop pacing and simply wait. He was rather excited to talk to Noctis, even though they didnt hit it off that great he still was interested in what he was and who he was to Kris. Plus, he would need the company while Kris was away. He didnt plan to go to school the entire time Kris was gone either, he didnt think he would be up for it. He heard his stomach growl and he jumped lightly holding it a moment and he sighed, he then heard the front door close and Kris move down the stair way and he didnt speak as he waited for him to unlock the door.

 

He opened the passenger side door and slid into his seat, he buckled in and he slumped over onto his door not saying a word to Kris. He would keep it to himself and he wouldnt say anything, he wouldnt cry either. He watched the land move around them outside as Kris drove him home and he sighed softly and turned on the music in the car so he could hear it and have something to be over the silence. He watched as his home came into view and instant dread fell into his stomach. He groaned softly and felt the car stop.

 

He nodded as he opened the door, "Alright just let me know." he said gently and picked up his bag shutting the door. He turned to leave and he heard Kris say he loved him and he stopped. As the car pulled away he turned and watched it go blushing lightly. Why couldnt he have said that to his face? He smiled lightly but it went away soon after as he turned to his home and he sighed. He walked up to his room and pulled out a bag grabbing clothes, how many days should he pack for? He didnt know he packed for two weeks putting in tooth paste and a tooth brush as well as any needed products.

 

Shoving the last of his clothes into the bag he felt a tear fall down his face and land on his hand. He stopped and looked at it his hands starting to shake. His eyes filled with tears and he looked away shaking his head as he wiped his eyes. He wouldnt cry, he told himself he wouldnt be a baby anymore. He didnt want Kris to see him as that, he pulled out his phone and sat it on the bed next to him. He sighed wiping his eyes again, "..you're okay.." he said to himself and sighed again sniffling keeping the tears at bay. He was ready to go...ready to leave his home, he was ready the day he met Kris.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

After having finished what he was doing, setting everything up, putting his bags into the trunk of the car, grabbing a few light snacks for later, getting what he needed to do done, he leaves the house, dialing Eric's number and calling him, while getting into the driver's seat of his car, starting the engine. The phone rings, and as he backs out of the drive he hopes that Eric would answer, not just let it go to voice mail. If, and when Eric does answer the call, Kristopher speaks up, telling the other male that he was on his way to come get him, and to be ready. He hated being so blunt with the other, but right now was no the time for embellishment and non-necessary conversation, time was of the essence here.

 

Driving as quickly as he could without exceeding the speed limit, Kristopher reaches Eric's house in record time, coming to a clean stop right outside on the street, honking twice before settling down a bit in the seat, staring blankly out the front window, wondering if Eric needed any help carrying his bags. Deciding he might, Kristopher turns the car off and gets out, not bothering to lock it since he was not going to take that long, and heads up to the house, reaching out to knock on the front door.

 

Back at Noctis', he finishes up the room, sighing softly though had a smile on his face. He was scared about having someone over, especially a human, who were the most vulnerable to him. Being only used to minimal contact with the race, only interacting with them on a needs basis, he was only used to being around creatures of other origin, like Kristopher. He glances around at the room, checking to see if he had missed anything, then checks the bathroom the human would be using, making sure that there was nothing out of order, before going downstairs again and to the living room, sitting on his chair and waiting for the two to come back.

[Arekushisu]

Eric wiped his eyes once more and he shook his head but they still kept coming. He started pacing as he looked at his phone waiting for it to ring. Anger welled up inside of his chest and he felt the tears fall and he started to scream. He punched the wall next to him and stood there panting as he felt slightly better. He was angry with himself for being unable to keep his tears at bay. He pulled his hand away from the wall looking at his knuckles which were starting to bleed. He jumped hearing the phone ring and it shook him out of his anger filled tears and he wiped his eyes picking up the phone.

 

He listened silently and said okay when Kris told him he would be on his way and then he hung up just like that. Nothin special was said between the two of them just okay and then click. He started panicking, Kris would be able to smell the blood on his knuckles he wouldnt need to see it. He ran it under water wincing as it washed the blood off. He then wrapped it in a thin cloth before he grabbed his bag. He looked up hearing the honks from outside and he started to hurry. He picked up his bag plus the small bag he had brought for his bathroom necessities and walked downstairs to the door. He stopped hearing the knock on the door he cursed under his breath.

 

He walked to the door setting down the heavy bag and opened the door hiding his other hand behind it. "Hey! I was just about to come out there..you didnt have to come in." he smiled and motioned to the bag. "But since you are up here can you carry that? Its heavy.." he said gently leaning against the door. He was alright to the eyes but in his mind behind everything you could tell he was far from okay. He wiped his hand on his pants and sighed looking out at the car seeing that it was still on. "You're in a hurry...lets go then." he said gently smiling softly.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

When the door opened, revealing Eric to him, Kristopher noticed that the human looked flustered, out of breath, and in pain. He raises an eyebrow, because not only could he sense this, he could also smell fresh blood, his eyes glancing down towards Eric's hand, which was hidden behind the door. For now, he says and does nothing, instead nodding and picking up the bag, which to him, weighed as light as a feather. "It's fine, I wanted to come up, looks like it was a good thing I did, or else you'd never have been able to carry this to the car..." He turns around, and heads towards the car, opening the trunk and setting it inside, before closing it again and heading towards the drivers seat, getting in, and waiting.

 

He didn't drive off though, even when Eric was settled down into the passenger's seat. Yes, he was in a hurry, but...he reaches over and takes Eric's hand in his own, holding it firmly so the other could not pull away, and looks at the cloth that was wrapped around his knuckles, already staining through with crimson red. "I knew I smelled blood..." He glances up towards Eric's face, his eyes locked on the human's while his free hand slowly undid the bandage that covered the wound. Letting it fall away, he lifts Eric's hand a bit, and without taking his gaze away from Eric's, he takes a deep breath. "Trust me, I'm not going to hurt you...this should heal it faster and take away the pain..."

 

He then raises Eric's hand to his mouth, and sticks out his tongue, running the very tip over the cuts, a thin coat of his saliva covering it, a tiny amount of the human's blood getting on it but nothing to make him lose control over. A soothing sensation would be felt, like the medicine Icy Hot, but much better, and within moments the injury would begin healing. "There..." He then re-wraps Eric's hand, making sure it was secure, before letting go of the other male's hand. "That should do it..." He glances at Eric's face, before turning the car on, and begins to drive, heading back towards Noctis' house, to finish up some things, then get going on his way.
