Dark was being careful while cleaning Alexander's hair. Alesxander's hair was soft and surprisingly untangled. Washing hair had a surprisingly therapudic and calming effect to it so soon Dark fogot that he was taking a shower with a naked Alexander and was just focaused on the hair.

after several minutes of dark rubbing and scrubbing at his locks he grew impatient and a little sore from the somewhat rough ministrations. 'dark' he said softly lightly taking up his hair in his hands and tugging a little, 'surly my hair is not so bad?' he was not sure how to get the other to go easy but without him growing timid and leaving, he seemed very uncomfortable in the bathing closet and it was getting to alexander just a little. 'dark?' the other seemed to not hear him though by now he had come to the middle having started from the end, alexander took the two short steps to cross the distance of the bathing tub and craning his neck down and to the side he peered through dark's wet bangs curiously

Dark sudenly came back to reality when he felt Alexander's eyes on him. He was startled enough to drop the hair, tha the now noticed was completely cleen. Alexander had gotten really close while he had zoned out, "Sorry," Dark murmered talking about washing Alexander's hair too long.

'it is ok' he said not understanding why the apology was offered 'it did not hurt so much' the other looked up at him a blush spreading over his face. he looked so, well, alexander was not sure what it was the other looked like but he knew it was something good, he could not help himself when he leaned in, still holding his hair and kissed the other crookedly on the side of the mouth

Dark had frozen when Alexander had kissed him and was still recovering from shock. It had felt nice to be kissed but Dark fill felt very akward. Dark was sure Alexander would be worried if Dark suddenly lost control of his motor skills so he willed himself not to freak out when his brain kindly informed him that he had just been kissed in the shower by a naked Alexander.

while dark's reaction was not exactly unexpected he did regain enough of his senses to not try and suprise the boy again, he still however wanted to kiss the other again, 'dark?' he implored 'please kiss me'

Dark did as Alexander asked him, completely on outopilot. Dark kissed Alexander, but as he leaned in Dark slipped and ended up kissing Alexander on the lips.

the weight of the other crashing down on him was enough to make him slip halfway down the wall, he caught dark though and that was to him what mattered. he only had a moment of the kiss before all was ruined but instead of being upset he laughed

Dark heard Alexander laughing and started laugghing himself. It was kind of funny he supposed, that he slipped into Alexander. "Want to try again?" Dark asked once he had stopped laughing. "I'll try not to slip this time."

he stopped laughing but kept a smile 'if my lord desires it' he planted a chaste kiss on dark's forehead

Dark rolled his eyes and kissed Alexander again when he pulled away he said, "What did I say about calling me, 'my lord', Alexander?" He had a small smile on his face even as he tried to be serious.

he smiled blithly "if my lord wants to punish me..."

Dark started blushing as soon as Alexander said that, his mind having immediatly gone to the more naughty version of punishment. "Just call me Dark or I'll..." Dark suddenly grinned, "I'll sleep on the couch and leave you alone for a couple hours." Daark was sure that would be more of a punishment for himself but Alexander did not know that unless he was currently reading Dark's mind.

he stared blankly for a few moments then his face scrunched up, he lowered his head and his arms slackened slightly from around his lord 'i am sorry i will not refer to you as anything but what you command anymore'

Dark suddenly relized what he had done and felt like an idiot. "Alexander, I'm not really going to leave you, it was an empty threat." Dark tried to repair what he had done, "I don't tink I could do it either." Sure Dark did not want Alexander to call him 'my lord' but he was not going to leave him because of that. "Sorry about saying that." Dark opened his arms showing that if Alexander wanted to they could hug.

he looked back up at the words though his fear and uncertainty still showed. he was trying to be careful he really was but it was so hard to change something so deeply hardwired into him. he accepted the open arms though not as was expected, instead of leaning to the other he simply bent his knees upwards sliding the other properly into his lap and leaned his face into the other's neck

Dark relaxed to make Alexander more confortable being originally surprised at the change of positions, "Sorry about that." He said again, "I would very much prefer it if you could call me Dark though." He was a horrible person he was sure of it, his years of being socialy reclusive had come back to bite him.

small crisis of his being left alone having not only being averted with a hug but completely debunked too, he felt as light as he had before but now with his face at the others throat he could feel the vibration of the words and the soft breath in his ear. distracted back to the first feeling, the one that had caused this whole debacle, he tried another approach 'dark?' he whispered huskily

"Hm?" Dark asked feeling very content with his position. It was nice once he had gotten over the akward stage of being in the shower with Alexander, "What is it, Alexander?"

'please' it was as far as he got before it was too much. he kissed darks neck, it was a needy kiss followed by another, and another he lost himself then and bit the other at the junction of his neck and shoulder. breathing heavily he nipped up the others neck leaving a light trail of teeth and mouth marks as he went, the taste of the other was maddening. he hardly noticed the other angling away to allow him better access, he growled huskily 'dark..' the other made a noise he could not make out. he pulled at the others neck eliciting soft a moan. 'dark, ...please' he tightened his grip around dark pulling him closer 'you' he kissed along the others jaw and nipping his ear '...are driving me mad'

Dark was not paying attention to what Alexander was saying, it might have been important but it probably was not. He had stopped baying attention once the biting had started. But something in his head told him he should repay the favor so Dark carefully squirmed out of Alexander's grasp and went right to work doing exactly what Alexander had been doing to Dark himself. Another voice, one of reason, was telling him not to do it, especially not in a bathtub.

dark pushed against his chest, pulling himself from alexander, the water pounded again dark's back as he shifted. it ran over his neck and down his face and through his hair, black curls writhed and danced down his shoulders as the water gave them life, dark against pale tendrils of it clung to his lord, whirls of black. he had no more time to to be lost in the site when the other pushed his shoulders back against the tiled wall, he was forced now to look at dark's face. those green eyes were filled with it, that thing that now plagued him, he missed the book then for just a moment, it knew what this was, it knew the answer, but there was no book only green against white against black. the other leaned over onto him, taller now, he realized, black hair hiding them both. he felt lips ghost against the side of his face, he turned towards the sensation but was halted when one of dark's hands slid around his neck 'no' the only whord he had uttered the entire time, alexander did not know for whom the word was spoken but he halted all the same. his obedience was rewarded when the other trailed down to the pit of his collar. his breath ran ragged at the sensation of the other at the hollow of his throat.

brrrrrree. brrrrrrre.

dark froze and alexander let out a whine. he watched as the other disentangled himself and leaned over the side of the tub to touch the small vibrating thing sitting on the long forgotten towels

Dark growled in annoyence, his stupid phone interupting the moment. "Hello?" Dark asked confused to who would call him now.

"Hey, Darky, that you?" It was a voice Dark knew very well.

"Who else would answer my phone?" Dark asked Riley.

He could here Riley smirk as she answered, "Maybe you had finally settled down with someone. I'm actually calling to ask you if you needed any provisions when I come tomorrow with you stuff."

"The normal things just double it and add bacon." Dark answered agitated at Riley.

"What?" Riley asked but Dark did not answer and just hung up the phone knowing that Riley would get it for him anyways. He saw Alexander's imploring eyes and said, "It was Riley who will be stopping over with provisions tomorrow. She does it every month so I don't end up maiming one of the store clerks."

he nodded then yawned widely

Dark smiled at the image Alexander created. "We can go to bed now," Dark said. "I'll just dry off and change clothes then I'll join you in the bedroom."

he sighed as the other pulled himself from the tub, and turned off the spigots. he was quick to grab a towel though as the air turned cold without the heat of the water to temper it. dark grabbed the purple towel and left through the door, alexander only loitered for a few moments before getting out and following his own towel failing majorly at drying his long locks of hair

Dark was completly changed if not dry when Alexander came through the door. "Good thing I changed the sheets today." Dark then relized Alexander had no clothes eccept what he had been wearing once he exited the book. "I also have pajamas you can borrow if you want," Dark said. "If you would prefer, I can just give you these," He held out an unopened pack of underwear, "I have no idea if they are the right size but they are probably close."

he took the small plastic parcel and letting go of his soggy towel opened it up, the towel how ever needed to have been held though for it sagged dangerously low on his hips, the wetness of it undermining the fold

Dark noticed Alexander's plight, "Would you like a pair of scissor, or for me to open it?" Dark asked.

he took a half step forward and smiled sweetly 'would you please?' he paid no mind to the towel losing another inch or so and unting partially

"Sure," Dark said and quickly tore the bag open, "There you go, Alexander," He had noticed the towel slipping, "Might want to fix your towel, it is trying to escape.

he looked down 'oh..' casually he flicked it the rest of the way off and pulling out a pair of underpants slipped them on

Dark noticed the towel had slipped blushed and turned around to give Alexander some privacy.

he shifted a bit in the new underwear, the band was loose and the legs were a bit short but he supposed they would be fine. 'dark?' he asked noting the other had turned away, 'what is wrong?' anyone else would be able to feel the embarrassment coming off of the boy but lacking any real companions had left alexander without such a useful ability, instead he continued to blindly press forward. 'are you ok?'

"I'm fine." Dark said. "It is kind of a human thing." He muttered. Explaining to Alexander why he was embarressed would end in disaster most likely. He kind of assumed Alexander hadn't run into human modesty before.

'i, suppose' he smiled sheepishly. there was no response for that really. he turned towards the bedroom. is it sleep then?

"And now we go to bed." Dark said still embarressed. This would be probably the hardest part of living with Alexander. Dark headed towards the bedroom and bed.

alexander followed blithely behind not understanding the potential of bed-time antics

Dark stood by the bed and stared at it for a second before internally sighing. "After you, Alexander." He said guestering to the bed.

he obligingly crawled under the quilts and laid supine on the bed his face being the only thing turned, he looked at the other and waited.
