Punishment

"That sounds very good."
Personally he could not wait for a hot shower, his body was still fairly cold and the sooner he warmed up the happier he would be.

"I hope your room has blacked out windows in that case, I don't like the idea of burning in my sleep."

"Aye. I share a room with three vampires. All of them red-heads." He grinned. That still amused him. "Oh and a cat. But as long as the cat stays away from me, I dont bother it."

He got bored easily and cats were fun to rile up.

He liked tormenting things when he was bored. That came from when he was a child and he'd torment the goats when his brothers and sisters wouldn't play with him.

"Lets get cleaned up then."
He leaned over and planted a kiss on the lycan's neck as they headed through Aria Wing, he wondered which of the rooms belonged to Aodh.

He could already guess that the man would be messy, everything about him was a bit on the scruffy side.
Not that he disliked it, he was quite fond of it in fact.

It was a short walk to his room; it wasn't all that far from Aeker's, just a few doors down.

He pushed open the door and stepped over the piles of dirty clothing in his section of the room, heading towards the bathroom. It looked like a bomb had gone off and spewed clothing everywhere. "Ah good, everyone's out." Even the cat was missing.

"I would apologise about the shit tip but I really don't care what you think about it."

He opened the bathroom door and bowed, gesturing grandly towards the bathroom. "Your shower awaits, sir."

Aeker chuckled and shook his head as he stepped over the mess, he was right Aodh was a messy one.

"It's your room, your right to have it how ever you please."
He responded with a soft shrug.

"Thank you kindly."
He replied, bowing his head as he entered the bathroom.
Before Aodh had even entered Aeker's fingers were busying themselves with undoing the buttons of his shirt.

"You can kick aside any crap in your path. Its just clothes that need cleaning." He didn't think there was anything lethal in the pile, at least. It'd been a while since he had moved some piles, some unidentified creature could have grown in the for all he knew.

He pulled the door shut behind him and locked it with an audible click.

Aodh grinned at the vampire as his hands dropped to his jeans, unbuttoning and unzipping them, kicking them aside as he padded towards the shower.

As he was the night previous, he was bare under his jeans.

Aeker discarded his shirt and quickly removed his pants and underwear.

He paused for a moment, glancing at himself in the mirror, he still looked pale.
His hair was full of blood and it covered most of his neck and the front of his torso, Alexis had made a right mess.

He sighed and made his way to the shower, walking up behind Aodh and kissing his shoulder.

"Hey, I told you that you looked like shit," he said, watching the man over his shoulder.

He looked like a scene from a horror movie.

Aodh turned and kissed the man gently.

Aodh didn't really look much better. He had blood up his arms and smeared across his chest from feeding the vampire and hugging him.

"Come on, céadsearc, let's get ourselves cleaned up."

"Yeah you weren't joking."
He mumbled softly, his hands rested on Aodh's hips as he kissed him back.

"Good idea."
He replied, leaning over to turn the faucet on and waiting for steam to billow off of the water before stepping under, groaning softly as he washed the blood off his face and neck.

The water weighed his hair down to the point that it almost touched the floor, he pulled Aodh in with him, kissing the man softly.

He felt amazing in comparison to how he had felt when Aodh had found him.

"Nope." He popped the p.

He returned the kiss as he stepped under the warm spray of water, hands moving up to cup Aeker's cheeks.

The Lycan rested his forehead against the taller man's, eyes sliding shut, fingers threading through the man's hair.

"And people say I have long hair," he muttered idly.

He smiled softly and nodded.
"Yeah, I stopped cutting it a long time ago."

He stroked the lycan's sides with his thumbs as his hands rested on his hips.

He stroked the man's chest, washing away what was left of his blood.

"I like it." He had always had a fascination with hair. His entire human family had long hair. None of them liked cutting it off, they were Irish and proud and wanted everyone to see their bright hair.

And he had just kept with it over the years. He let his hair grow to about the back of his knees, then cut it off to shoulder length and let it grow out all over again.

His hands smoothed up over the man's chest as he leaned up to kiss him softly again.

Aeker placed his hands on each side of Aodh's neck, kissing him back softly as he pressed his body up against him.

He would not admit it out loud but he really have missed being close to him. Even back in Alexis' room he had not wanted to leave the man's lap.

He ran his hand through the lycan's hair and rested his head on his shoulder, kissing the the dip in the base of his neck softly.

He purred into the kiss when the man pressed against him.

He liked this; being close to someone. Most of his recent partners had been all about the sex. There wasn't any closeness to it. It was just take what you want then walk away.

So this - the cuddling and slow lingering kisses - was odd. But he liked it. He liked being close with people.

His fingers combed through the man's wet hair.

Aeker took some soap and lathered it on his hands, moving to stand behind Aodh.
He stroked his hands down the lycan's back, tracing each muscle with his fingers as he washed him, smoothing his hands over his shoulders.

He wrapped his arms around Aodh and stroked his chest as his head leaned against the man's shoulder, kissing it softly.

His eyes flickered open when the man moved away but slid closed again, purr rumbling in his chest as the man's hands ran down his back.

The Lycan's hands gripped the arms wrapped around him as he turned his head to kiss him.

Yes, he definitely liked this.

The man turned and pushed Aeker back against the wall, lips running over his neck.

Aeker grunted softly as he was pushed against the wall, tilting his head back so that the wolf could have access to his neck.

He bit his lip gently as Aodh's lips brushed against his neck.

His hand slid across the man's back, trailing down his spine and smoothing out across his lower back.

"We should wait till you've completely recovered," he murmured against the man's neck.

But, again, he didn't want to stop.

His hands smoothed down the man's sides and thighs, calloused fingertips brushing over Aeker's smooth skin.

Aeker shook his head softly, kissing the man's neck, he didn't want to stop.
"I'm fine, thanks to you."
He murmured as he pulled Aodh closer, wrapping his arms around his neck and kissing the man slowly.

He pulled away and leaned his forehead against the older man's.
"Just be gentle, if you can manage it."
He muttered softly in against his ear.

"You still need sleep," he insisted, nipping at his neck gently.

"Aeker, I'm a wolf; we're not known for being cuddly puppies." Aodh didn't do gentle.

Did the vampire really think someone like him could be gentle in anything he did? He was rough; he'd much rather throw a punch then give a gentle kiss. Gentleness didn't come easy to him.

"My needs and my wants seem to be in conflict then."
He purred softly as Aodh nipped at his neck.

"I doubted that you could, and I think we can both see that I am in no shape for anything rough tonight."
He sighed, the wolf was right, he needed rest but at the same time he simply could not help himself what he was around the lycan.

"Which makes this harder because you're not going to push me away." He lay a kiss on the man's neck.

The Lycan sighed heavily then wrapped his arms around the man, burying his face in his neck. This gesture wasn't purely sexual. There was something - an edge to it - that seemed almost desperate; scared.

"I thought you were going to leave me," he muttered into Aeker's skin, hugging him tighter. "When I saw you in that puddle of blood..."

Aodh began shaking slightly. "It's selfish of me, but I dont want you to leave yet."

"I don't think I would ever push you away."
He purred softly, nipping the man's ear.

Aeker's eyes slipped closed as he held the lycan close, sqeezing him softly when he spoke.
He frowned slightly when he felt the wolf shake.

"It's alright."
He cooed, stroking the back of his neck.
"I'm alright, I'm not going anywhere just yet."

A soft smile graced his lips as he kissed Aodh's cheek.
"I'm still yours, so I can't leave."

Aodh gave a weak chuckle. "Yeah, mine," he muttered softly.

He stayed still and silent for a few minutes, reigning in his shaking and schooling his features.

The Lycan pulled away with a much brighter expression than he had been wearing when his face was buried in the vampire's neck - much like he had done the first time they met.

Aeker's hand reached up tentatively and stroked the wolf's cheek.
"Aodh, are you alright?"

He asked, his eyes filling with slight worry, it was unlike him to be so quiet and he put on that mask that hid his emotions.

He didn't expect the man to open up to him, that wasn't like Aodh but he at least wanted to know if something was eating at him.
