Axel had come home to the house a mess even though he had told Terran to make sure that it was spotless by the time he got home. When he saw the clothes and other things still on the floor it was like something snapped in the vampire, as he moved though the house and found the teen sitting int he lounge watching tv. HE reached over and grabbed his shoulder before pulling him over the couch and onto the floor. “What did I tell you to do while I was away boy?!”
Terran cringed when the vampire returned, immediately rolling onto his side and curling inward to protect his stomach, still sore from being punched during Axel’s rage. He still didn’t know what to make of the vampire’s change in mood, but he eyed him with distrust until Axel left the room again.
Axel wasn’t likely to find more than a few clothes and other belongings out of place – Terran had always been meticulous, almost obsessive, in his cleaning. He’d just been so tired….
Gritting his teeth, he willed himself to move, the world spinning before his eyes as he crawled into a corner to take up his fetal position, again. Whether he woke up or not, at least he’d be out of the way. Axel didn’t seem to care one way or the other. Despondent and aching, he closed his eyes and let his body wage war on itself.
Axel was angry at himself right now that he had pushed him that close to death….it was the first time he had use his blood to heal him and he knew now that the boy would hate him even more than he did before. HE cleaned up what little mess there was before seeing Terran attempting to stand.
He moved over to him and gently picked him up, walking to the shower and turning it on getting him under the warm water and slowly taking his clothes off, he cleaned Terran’s body wiping the blood off of his face and body.
Once he had finished he dried him off and took him to the spare room and put him in the bed making sure he had warm blankets on him. “I am sorry.” He whispered before leaving the room.
