Axel had woken up with a start, he had been having a bad dream about things that had happened in his past, things he couldnt stop, things that he couldnt change, but things that haunted him forever. THe vampire only woke when he felt the arms of his boyfriend around him and he heard his voice, Axel slowly opened his eyes and looked at him. “Please tell me im not still dreaming.”
“You’re not, you’re awake and I am here,” he spoke again, now smoothing his hand through the vampire’s hair and pressing his head to his chest. “You’re so unsettled. I get worried when you’re like this. You’re keeping something from me, aren’t you? All I know that somehow, vampires exist in this crazy universe and you just happen to be one. And you’ve shattered a portrait before and now you’re mumbling about me leaving you and- you know I told you this so many times. If you tell me then maybe I can help you somehow?”
He didn’t want to tell him the things that hurt him. He knew being truthful about everything was good for them but there were just things he didn’t want the other to know. “I know you wont leave me…But I live forever…you dont Brent..” HE whispered to him as he lay on his chest, his mind still thinking of him burring him once more and being without him till he found his reincarnation again. Last time he had found a wife in the when he had died and he had even fathered a child, this time round he doubted he would get that. “Please try not to worry Brent….Please..”
Axel had woken up with a start, he had been having a bad dream about things that had happened in his past, things he couldnt stop, things that he couldnt change, but things that haunted him forever. THe vampire only woke when he felt the arms of his boyfriend around him and he heard his voice, Axel slowly opened his eyes and looked at him. “Please tell me im not still dreaming.”
Axel raised an eyebrow at Brent and chuckled before moving over to him and taking off his shirt so he could lay on Brent’s lap with no shirt. “Where do you want to suck on me?”
As much as he liked the other’s giggled, an indication that Axel was enjoying this and not feeling strange, he wanted the gasps and sighs of pleasure too. He liked having his lips on him, the delightful, familiar scent, the surprising softness of the vampire’s flesh, it was all addictive.
In the back of his mind, Brent worried that the other being bitten will bring back bad memories of how he was turned, but that was something he was going to have to test, as he was doing now.
He bit again, now with his fingers roaming thorough the other’s hair and pulling at the strands- then sucked on the skin of his neck. Would he bruise enough to form a hickey? Well that is something he always wondered, given the unique blood content that vampires had.
Now as Brent bit him again and ran a hand through his hair, the vampire let a soft moan escape him before covering his mouth, smiling up at the other. “I didn’t think that would happen.” He giggled.
Axel knew that if Brent sucked hard enough that there would be a bruise at least for a little while before his body healed it. He moved and tilted his head back so that Brent had more access to his neck and could suck and bite on it more.
A vein in his forehead bulged, sweat already forming as he was still trying to relax from it all. It was a new experience, and he was trying to take slower breaths and eventually, he did get the hang of it. It was thanks to that unexpected kiss he was receiving, one that was precise, skillful and managed to elicit a moan.
What was he supposed to do now? He was left at Axel’s disposal, waiting for the next move, but his moans were not waiting. His hands went to scratch at the other’s hips, but he was unsure how much vampires could really feel and if they had lost their sensitivity in any way. He started to care whether or not Axel would be pleased, something he had yet to comprehend why he was compelled to feeling this way.
Axel ran his hand up and down Brent’s chest slowly and ever so softly, smiling as Brent scratched his hips. “Keep doing that, it feels good…” He whispered as he rolled h is hips slightly aiming to now push up against Brent’s prostate, knowing that was the ‘g’ spot for a man.
“Do be loud if you need to..It helps me if you are vocal.” He told him as he made BRent’s legs wrap around his waist tightly before placing each hand on either side of the others head. “I am going to be harder now.” He said giving him some warning as his hips jerked forward into Brent harder than before, hitting his prostate now with every thrust.
“I want to know everything about you,” he answered after a while, with a gaze so intense he could have almost been successful in copying Axel’s frightening vampire-like expressions as he called them. It was true though, the necromancer loved every detail about Axel’s life, and was especially curious about the parts that he was hiding. Sure, he was a little freaked out at Axel’s behaviors form time to time, but by this point Brent thought he can take any information.
“Nah, I won’t feel pressured. There are some tunes that are just stuck to my head, and I have yet to write them down anywhere but I found that I did not need to. Maybe tonight I can- hey,” he reached over and placing his hand on the other male’s cheek. “You okay? Want to pack up the rest of the food and head elsewhere?”
“Well….Since you want to know, I am half way to being Five hundred years old.” He grinned as he watched the others reaction. “YOu already know I’m from Sweden….I grew up in a small village and learnt to tailor from my father and I was set to take over his shop before I got turned…” He said his eyes looking away from Brent as he mentioned his family.
“Then please play….I’ll clean out one of the spare room and turn it into a music studio for you.” He smiled as he just wanted the other to be as happy as he could be. “Oh….no, no…I’m okay…really I am..” He siad with a small smile.
He did it. Axel actually got the words out and Brent couldn’t react right away. He knew he should have seen it coming, but it actually happening rendered him incapale of logic thought. That was because everything about him was replaced with one emotion- pure unbridled joy that made him almost pounce on Axel.
“What do you mean it’s not much? It’s enough. It’s more than enough, it’s everything. You actually- wow. Yes. My answer is yes, I mean.”
Axel grinned now and he put the ring on Brent’s finger as he stood up and put his arms around him, his lips softly pressing against his. “You have made me the most happy man on earth.” Axel whispered to him.
He picked the other up and hugged him tightly before walking up to their bedroom. “The…ring was my fathers.” He told him, it wasnt often the vampire told Brent anything about his family.
Axel looked down at the battered ring in his hand, it had been his fathers wedding ring but he wanted to give it to Brent as engagement ring, but he thought that the other maybe like something more new and with a stone or two in it.
Brent was delaying the matter unknowingly. They did talk about one day joining in a marital union, because it felt right and he wanted Axel to know just how special he was. But this was one of the few moments he was nervous, and extremely so. Would it change anything? What if Axel gets bored after, having nothing to look forward to?
And worst of all- what if something happens and they were torn apart again? These thoughts were making him anxious, even knowing how irrational they all were.
Axel seemed to have something in his hand, and having seen it glint, his mind already made conclusions as to what it was. So, if Brent’s not proposing, Axel was and he found it hard to wipe off the grin on his face. How was he going to do it?
Axel looked up and saw him ginning he rolled the ring in his hand before going down on one knee in front of him and taking Brent’s left hand lightly. “I am glad I found you…and…I want nothing more than to be with you forever…or at least as long as I can have you this time..” HE said with a small smile as he looked up into Brent’s eyes and showed him the ring. “Brent….Will you marry me, I know the ring is not much…I can get a different one if you want..” He rambled.
I could have thrown you away. That part stung but he did not respond until he heard everything that Axel had to say. Brent, out of his own self pity, did not see that the other was making efforts to make himself happy. He believed the prince only cared for his own delights, but if he really thought about it, Brent was not all that miserable either- he was afraid he liked it too much when it all might end sooner than he would have expected.
“No, it’s not that,” he followed behind, placing a hand carefully on the other’s shoulder. “How much more?”
“If this place really makes you feel that way then I dont want to keep you here Brent, you are free to come and go as you please.” He told the other as he looked at his hand on his shoulder. He wasn’t sure if he should comfort Brent or leave, he was hurt to know that Brent thought that he didnt care about him even though he tried to show him he did every day.
Their foreheads brushing, breaths mingling in such a way as though he could hear the other’s thoughts and feel his soul. Although, he heard before that vampires were void of souls and that they were not truly feeling. It all was an act, it had to be- yet why can’t he help but believe Axel’s words? Was he being hypnotized? Yes- yes that had to be it.
He shut his eyes, as if that could shut the pain away but it was to no avail. “You think so much about your happiness, but mine never did matter, did it? I am yours yet I cannot be yours. I was captured, presented to you as a gift. You never chose me.”
“Brent I did chose you. I could have thrown you away but I kept you me and I try to make sure you are happy everyday, I do think of your happiness over mine. You are mine and I am yours, you may have been brought here as a slave but I think of you as much more.”
He sat up and moved away from him. “If you do not want to be here then say that.”
He dropped his gaze, taking a deep breath to relax himself again when the prince informed that he could walk outside. The relief allowed himself to speak freely. "I’m sorry, I want to believe you but I cannot allow myself or else it would be devastating for me. It is easier to just believe that you don’t actually care for me, nor miss me. I overheard from servants that there sill be a ceremony for you to choose your bride.“
Axel put his forehead against Brent’s and looked at him. “I am the prince and I will soon be the king, I can and will have who I want in my bed, I do not want a nagging bride as neither of us could have children so it would be a waste of time, this..” He said point to himself and then to Brent. “Makes me happy and they can not take that.”
