Lonely Existance(Pheonix/Cleon)

[Cleon]

Cleon enjoyed the light touch, and leaned into his mate's hand. He smiled softly at Pheonix's stunned look. "I know, because I can feel it," he answered. He held onto the boy's free hand with his own free hand. "I know what it's supposed to feel like. You must feel it too, you just do not know what it is. But now you do." The Dragonis' hugged the other boy gently.

[Pheonix Arashi]

Pheonix relaxed into the hug, nuzzling his nose into Cleons robes. The boy smelled heavenly, and he was right. Pheonix had been feeling particulary jittery all night, pleasantly warm,like he had come home somehow. On the other hand,maybe he was just getting sick, but he was sure Cleon wasn't lying. He had been too kind so far.

"Alright...so you're mine and i'm yours. What now? Where do you come from...and I don't know what to do....i've never done this before."

[Cleon]

"Well, I should hope not," Cleon chuckled. "Okay... I'm going to tell you something, but you can't tell anyone!" he said. "I am not from Earth, I'm from another planet called Parinenai. I came here for a vacation.... And well, I think now you can come live with me there. Now I'll have a reason to own my own house!" he grinned.

"Of course, that's not the only reason I'm happy to have found you," he said hurriedly. "I'll love you and protect and treat you like you are supposed to be treated. Which is special," he said quietly.

[Pheonix Arashi]

Pheonix was so confused, his head swimming in a dazed uproar. He could hardly process anything Cleon was saying. 'Another planet? But I thought....why don't the scientists of earth know about other planets? He pulled back a little to glance up at Cleon. He was different, and although he looked human, there was something about him that was......enigmatic. His eyes were a bit different, very vibrant, and the most unusual shade of violet. But they were beautiful.

"Go home with you?" He wasn't sure if he could. He knew he could trust Cleon, and he knew that despite being so utterly confused and in denial, he would come to believe the blunette. However, what would happen to his mom? Would she even care if he disappeared? And love....Cleon said he loved him. It had been so long since he'd even thought about being loved, what would it feel like? "Ugh....Cleon? I need to think about this," he buried his face in the robes again, "that's disappointing isn't it? I just can't think right now.....but....this feeling inside of me, you're right-it's special. I know this all has to be real. I just need to accept it."

[Cleon]

"Don't worry, I'm not disappointed," Cleon said gently, and hugged his mate comfortingly. "I understand that this must be hard to grasp. And I'm willing to wait for to accept it. The best things in life are worth waiting for, I read somewhere once. And you are definately going- are the best thing in my life. You are my mate," he said softly. He pecked the top of the boy's head.

The Dragonis' began rubbing Pheonix's back slowly. "Do you think we should go to sleep now? Are we still going to school tomorrow?" he asked hopefully. He really wanted to meet those elite people. Those stupid bullies.... He would show them for picking on his mate! Grr... he didn't really growl, just in his head.

[Pheonix Arashi]

"Mmmm, sleep. You're right." He finally sat up and pulled away. For once he was actually excited about going to school. He remembered Cleon questioning what it was and he wanted to see his reaction. "Umm....i suppose you need pajamas. You're a little taller than me, not much. You should fit into a few of my things." He stood and went to his closet, opening the door and disappearing into the tiny cubbyhole. It was a few moments before he came back out, clutching flannels pants and a t-shirt for himself and a pair of sweats and a t-shirt for Cleon. "Here you go," smiling he held them out. "Now we just need to think of sleeping arrangments. I mean...uh,"he blushed a little, tugging the band off the end of his braid. "You can sleep on the bed and I can sleep on the floor...or if you're not uncomfortable with it....I don't think that bed's that small....." He couldn't believe he was even suggesting it. Usually he was so shy, timid. Something in Cleon was bringing out his more outgoing side, the one he'd been supressing for forever. Self-conciously he unraveled his hair, letting it cascade in a gently waved waterfall down his back.

[Cleon]

Cleon took the pajamas with a smile and stared at them. He wasn't used to wearing pants and a shirt to bed. Usually he just wore a really big t-shirt that reached knees, because he was not a real fan of pants. He would pick his robe over those things any day. He looked up when he heard Pheonix's timid suggestions.

"We can...," he paused. His eyes fell to his mate's beautiful red hair that was being pulled out from its braid. "... do whatever you feel most comfortable with. Though I won't let you sleep on the floor, and you don't want me to either. So I suppose we should just share it," he said slowly, softly. "Your hair is so beautiful," he murmured, standing up and walking over to the other boy. He ran his fingers through the silky locks gently. "You are beautiful," he added just as quietly.

[Pheonix Arashi]

"Oh...I, um," he giggled softly and found himself leaning into the touch, his body aching for it. He brought his own hand up to sweep a little hair out of Cleons eyes, tucking one long strand carefully behind the other boys ear. "Thank you," the blush spread and he glanced up shyly. "You are too." His mate....he'd have to get used to saying that....was so close. He could feel the warmth radiating between them, and could see the silky smoothness of the skin of Cleon's face. He hadn't seen the red things, were they bands?, in Cleons hair, but he did now and touched them lightly.

"Cleon..." his voice came out a little breathlessly. Embarassed, he turned his eyes to the clock and jumped. At this rate he'd be falling asleep while showing Cleon around. Regretfully, he pulled back. "I'll get changed in the bathroom. You can...well, whatever's comfortable for you."

[Cleon]

Cleon smiled. Pheonix was adorable when he blushed. He nodded. "Yes, I'll change in here while you change in the bathroom. It's getting late, you must be tired," he said, touching his mate's face gently before pulling away with a soft smile.

[Pheonix Arashi]

Smilingm he nodded. "Just a bit." He went into the bathroom, pulling the door softly closed behind him. Sighing,he leaned back to gather himselfand his errtci thoughts before stepping away and ridding himself of his clothes. Carefully he ran a brush through his hair and brushed his teeth before pulling on his pajamas. He looked at himself in the mirror. Somehow he looked different....happier. When he woke up he would never have guessed he would meet two people who would become so important to him. From here on out it seemed his life would be a little brighter, a little more interesting.

"Cleon, you done," he called through the thin wood of the door, hoping his mom wouldn't wake late in the night to get them up and disturb them.

[Cleon]

Cleon sighed quietly after Pheonix left. He had to leave in five days... he hoped his mate came to terms with his new discovery before then. Not that he wouldn't wait, it was just his parents would worry when he didn't drive the tiny ship home.

The Dragonis' started undressing. He folded up his robe and placed it on a chair with his gloves on top. The pants and shirt felt weird, not because they were too small or anything - which they weren't - it was just unusual. "Cleon, you done," he heard from the other side of the door.

"Yup!" he called softly. "You can come in."

[Pheonix Arashi]

"Alright," Pheonix pushed the door open and stepped into his room. He smiled softly at Cleon, enjoying the view of the other boy in his clothes. Not that he hadn't looked spectacular in his robes, which were neatly folded, but there was just something about seeing Cleon's figure. Pheonix trudged, yawning, to the bed and crawled onto the farthest side, against the wall. He climbed under the blankets before motioning Cleon over.

"Could you just flick out the light real quick. I should've thought about that before climbing in," he grinned sheepishly, yawning again.

[Cleon]

Cleon chuckled, but nodded and did as he was asked. He carefully made his way to the bed, he didn't know his way around afterall, and it was dark. "Oof," he muttered when he walked into the bed and fell on it. His arm landed on something hard, which he guessed was Pheonix. "Sorry," he whispered. He shifted so he was under the blankets and facing his mate.

"Good night, Pheonix," he whispered. He had the urge to kiss him, but wasn't sure if the boy would want that right now.

[Pheonix Arashi]

"That's okay," Pheonix jumped at the warmth that landed on him but he was relatively fine. He was under the blankets after all and Cleon had only landed on half of his chest. He'd never thought he'd have someone in his bed,let alone someone who was so important to him. He had the urge to let Cleon know just how much, even if he was painfully shy. There was only one way he knew how to do that, short of blurting it out. Usually he was better with action than words, so he'd have to act now, before they fell asleep.

Siddling over, he moved until he was a hairs breath away from the other boy, turning on his side to face Cleon. He smiled into violet eyes he had felt watching him, even through the dark. "I...um...." Taking a deep breath, he summoned up as much courage as he could and leaned up on his elbow. Slowly, gently he moved, pressing his lips to Cleon's. They were warm and he reangled the light kiss before pulling away. "Good night."

[Cleon]

Cleon's eyes widened in surprised, before he closed them contently. It was like Pheonix was reading his mind. The small kiss was the sweetest he'd ever experianced... and not only because it was his first. It was because it was his mate doing the kissing. He hoped they would be doing a lot of that in the future. It was really nice.

He smiled at the red-head sleepily. He had realized how sleepy he was before. He placed his arm around his mate's waist hesitantly before cuddling a little closer. Though he kept his arm loose, and enough space between them so the boy could pull away if he felt uncomfortable in any way.
