“Armand, we talked about this. It is a no.” He told him as he sat at his desk and put his pencil behind his ear before looking at him. “Shall we do what you asked about? Do I need to start hurting you to make you not want your drugs?”
Armand could feel his heart palpitating in his chest, but he tried to ignore it. He told himself he was just tired. At least until everything went black and he fell with a thud against the bottom of the tub. He was still breathing, but his withdrawals were severe. His skin was burning up.
Axel frowned as he heard the thud and he moved intot he bathroom, not caring if the other was dressed or not. He turned off the water and got him into the recovery position and got up to get him some water quickly returning and getting Armand’s head in his lap so that he could give him some.
Axel stormed through the house as he could smell the cigarette smoke, he smacked the cigarette out of
Armand’s hand and glared down at him. “What did I tell you?! No smoking, and no drugs! Yet you disobey and I catch you smoking!” He yelled at him as he grabbed the other males hair and slapped his face.
“You agreed to my terms in order to help and let you start anew yet you are here breaking my rules, give me one good reason why I dont just take you down and throw you into a cell in the police station?” Axel asked him.
“It really isn’t,” he sighed. “I get violent when I get hit in the face,” he warned. “I don’t want you to kick me out. I don’t want to be on the street. There’s gotta be a different way to handle me.”
“You get violent with me and I will put you on the ground faster than you can blink.” The vampire warned him. “If you dont want to be handled that way then fucking listen to my rules. Smokes lead to you doing drugs again! This is to get rid of everything you are addicted to, including coffee and smokes!”
Axel had already found the stash that was in Armand’s room when he had searched it the other day. He lightly knocked on the door to the others room.
“Non. Please don’t lock me in my room. I don’t like the idea of being locked up. Why do you think I avoided rehab?” he groaned. “I’m sure a firm hand will be enough,” he sighed, following the vampire.
He took the coffee gratefully. “I… think it’s worth a try.”
“Fine I will not lock you in your room, but I will spank you the next time you throw a tantrum or push me too far, are we clear?” He asked Armand as he sipped his cup of coffee and moved out of the kitchen and into his study where he grabbed a small box of smokes. “This is to last you till next week.” HE told him giving him the box, there were only ten in there but he was sure he could manage.
“Armand, we talked about this. It is a no.” He told him as he sat at his desk and put his pencil behind his ear before looking at him. “Shall we do what you asked about? Do I need to start hurting you to make you not want your drugs?”
Armand stepped into the shower, though he wasn’t feeling good. Perhaps the hot water would stop the incessant itching of the withdrawals. He doubted it, but a man could hope, right? In the stream of hot water, the human was unaware just how much he was sweating.
Axel listened to him step into the shower and he sighed once he could hear the water, he was glad that his guest seemed to be listening to him now and taking what he had to share and help him on board. After awhile he could hear that Armand’s heartbeat was not as it normally should be, he got up quickly and made his way to the bathroom. “Armand?”
Axel had already found the stash that was in Armand’s room when he had searched it the other day. He lightly knocked on the door to the others room.
He listened carefully to the vampire, and he felt awful. Axel was just trying to help, and here he was, lashing out at him. He gave a nod and a sad sigh. “You’re right. I know. I know you’re trying to help. I just… whenever I get the withdrawal symptoms, I end up runnin’ back ‘cause it feels awful. I been itchy all mornin’. I tried to get through it, but I couldn’t,” he sighed.
He chewed on his lip and shrugged. “Maybe. It… might help. It’ll hurt, but… I’d take it a little more serious. Ain’t as scary as gettin’ kicked out though. But… I probably wouldn’t be as angry. I don’t know. Am I really considering this? I mean… is it something you’ve thought about doing?” he replied, lighting up a cigarette with relief.
“I have thought of it as I did the same to my daughter when she would misbehave granted it was not over drugs and just over staying up later. If your symptoms keep being this bad maybe I should lock you in your room till they go away because you will not be getting any more drugs while you are in this house.” The vampire told him as he headed into the kitchen to make himself a cup of tea.
He made a coffee for Armand before calling him over. “I do not want to spank you but I will if you test me.”
Axel stormed through the house as he could smell the cigarette smoke, he smacked the cigarette out of
Armand’s hand and glared down at him. “What did I tell you?! No smoking, and no drugs! Yet you disobey and I catch you smoking!” He yelled at him as he grabbed the other males hair and slapped his face.
“You agreed to my terms in order to help and let you start anew yet you are here breaking my rules, give me one good reason why I dont just take you down and throw you into a cell in the police station?” Axel asked him.
Armand sighed and took another cigarette out, then handed him the pack. “Fine. I guess. I can understand what you’re doin’, but… I really don’t think coffee’s a big deal, so if I can have that… and an occasional cigarette, I guess it ain’t so bad,” he groaned. “But don’t ever hit me in the face again. If you really think you gotta hit me, there are spots for that. My face is not one of them.”
“I think your face is one, if you dont start listening I will be hitting your face more as punishment Armand.” He frowned as he took the pack of smokes. “I am giving you this last warning though. So do not test me Armand or I will kick you out of my house, I will put you back ont he street again, do you want that?” He asked him.
“Armand, we talked about this. It is a no.” He told him as he sat at his desk and put his pencil behind his ear before looking at him. “Shall we do what you asked about? Do I need to start hurting you to make you not want your drugs?”
Armand pouted. “Don’t do that either. Please, can’t you just spank me real thoroughly instead of ever breaking my body or mind?” he whined. “I swear it’s enough. I mean… I know this won’t be the only time I try to get drugs from you or somewhere else. I’ve tried to quit before and I couldn’t. Breaking my body and mind won’t help me very much.”
“I said I wont unless I think you really deserve it Armand. But I think we can both agree with just spankings for now. “ He said kissing his cheek to show he had no ill will towards him any more. “Now please go and do as I say, shower then make something for both of us to eat.”
“Armand, we talked about this. It is a no.” He told him as he sat at his desk and put his pencil behind his ear before looking at him. “Shall we do what you asked about? Do I need to start hurting you to make you not want your drugs?”
Armand went serious very fast, and scrunched up his face. He shook his head and whimpered. “N-non, please don’t do that,” he murmured. “I’ve already had my ribs broken. P-please don’t break me,” he squeaked. He risked a glance at the vampire, with tears in his eyes. “Please stick to spanking. I swear it’ll help. I just… two tiny smacks was nothin’ compared to what I’m used to. My Papa used’ta beat my ass with his belt. When you… when you took me over your knee, I thought I wouldn’t be leaving it ‘til my ass was red and sore, and… I was surprised you hadn’t even taken my pants d-… down. Please don’t break me.”
“I would do more than just break your ribs, I can break your mind as well dont ever forget that….No I will not leave your ass sore and red unless you deserve it. I will not break you if you do not give me a reason to. Do we understand each other now Armand?” THe vampire asked as he let straightened his own shirt and gave him a small smile.
Axel stormed through the house as he could smell the cigarette smoke, he smacked the cigarette out of
Armand’s hand and glared down at him. “What did I tell you?! No smoking, and no drugs! Yet you disobey and I catch you smoking!” He yelled at him as he grabbed the other males hair and slapped his face.
“You agreed to my terms in order to help and let you start anew yet you are here breaking my rules, give me one good reason why I dont just take you down and throw you into a cell in the police station?” Axel asked him.
Every nerve in Armand’s body told him to attack Axel the moment he was slapped, but he fought hard to settle for a glare. He wasn’t stupid enough to attack someone stronger and smarter than him.
As the lecture went on, his glare softened and he hung his head. “Because… because I’m only fuckin’ human,” he snapped. “It’s my first cigarette in two weeks! Did you think I wouldn’t fuck up? I ain’t fuckin’ perfect, man! You ain’t gotta slap me in the face. I hate that shit.”
He shut his eyes. “Please don’t bring me to the police. There’s gotta be some other way to deal with this. It’s just a cigarette. It ain’t pot or somethin’.”
“Armand…All I want to do is help, that is why I say no smoking, no coffee, no drugs, no alcohol, nothing that is going to alter your body. THis was the deal.” He said softly as he sat down next to him and held out his hand. “Give me the rest of them now.” He demanded in a soft way.
“I wont take you to the police, but please try and listen to me. I just want to help and you want my help, and the price of my help is taking this sort of thing away from you.” He told him, ruffling his hair to show he wasnt mad anymore.
9. Your muse injects mine with a mysterious substance
Axel sighed as the man pushed his arm away, he had injected him with his own blood as he had not been able to get the man to drink it when he held his wrist up to his mouth. “Shut up….I’m healing you stupid.” The vampire snapped.
Armand frowned. “The fuck you mean no smoke or coffee?!” he growled. “Why the fuck not coffee? It’s not like coffee’s gonna fuckin’ kill me!” he snapped. Part of him felt like smacking this guy.
“Coffee wont kill you but it is an addiction as well. From now on it will be green tea till your body gets through the withdrawals of not having what it is used to. And smoking is not good for you either, it will kill you and I dont like the smell.” The vampire explained with a smirk.
