Untitled (Kaelin/Jet, NC 17+)

[pohjaden]

Kaelin took a deep breath and walked over to the piano. He sat down and adjusted the music. He played a few warm-up notes, and took one final look at Jet before he began.

The piece, which was actually composed by his piano mentor, was called “Midnight Eclipse in A minor.” It began with a smooth melody as if the music flowed like the wind, winding through the woods. The atmosphere was filled with a calming energy as the music slowly escalated into a faster tempo. Kaelin’s fingers soared over the keys, his whole body immersed in the music.

The music took on a slightly darker sound as Kaelin slowed down a bit. Darkness seemed to spread throughout the sound and you could almost sense the evil undertone. Soon there was a battle, as Kaelin’s left hand (the evil) fought with his right hand (the good). Each hand made its arguments, trying to defeat the other. Good won out in the end, and the music turned almost heavenly as the sound engulfed the room. As the last notes rang, you could sense the purity in the atmosphere.

Kaelin wished he had played the piece well, since it reminded him so much of himself. The battle between good and evil was going on inside of him as the beast ached to take what it believed was his. He was barely able to control himself earlier, and he hoped that he could hold out. Especially if Jet freaked out at the sight of his leopard form. He towards Jet, wondering what his opinion of the piece was.

[Jet Blayke]

Jet was positive he was gaping, his legs moving toward the piano before his brain could catch up.

He fund himself sitting on the bench, next to Kaelin and taking one of his slender hands in his own. He kissed each fingertip gently, before pulling him into a hug, for once not intending anything involving getting into Kaelin's pants.

He laughed softly, mouth near the others ear, before whispering quietly, "Beautiful."

[pohjaden]

Kaelin could feel the pure adoration from Jet’s hug, and smiled. He was glad that the redhead liked his piece.

Slowly pulling jet away, he laid a soft kiss on his lips. “Before we go any further, there’s something about me you have to know.”

Getting up from the piano, Kaelin stood in front of the door to the room. ‘That way, he can’t leave. We need to get past this.’ Deciding to start small, her closed his eyes and stated, “My eyes… my eyes are natural. I’m not wearing contacts.”

[Jet Blayke]

Jet raised an eyebrow and stood slowly, head tilted to the side slightly.

"'Kay, that's pretty cool... Why do you look worried?"

He took a couple of unsure steps towards the still figure in front of the door, wondering where the hell Kaelin was going with this.

[pohjaden]

Kaelin opened his eyes and took another look into Jet’s green eyes.

Slowly, he stripped his clothes off, setting them on the piano bench. Walking back in front of the door, he sat on his knees. Closing his eyes, he let the beast take over. White hairs came out though his skin, and his eyes widened as his facial features shifted. Soon, a white snow leopard was sitting in the front of the only exit to the room, looking at Jet.

‘This is what I needed to tell you’ he thought as he waited for Jet’s reaction.

[Jet Blayke]

Jet's mouth had this awful habit of taking over when his brain shut down, so it was hardly any surprise when he spouted something so ridiculous he would've punched himself.

"Hey, not to be crude or anything, but, if we screw, does it count as bestiality?"

His mouth closed almost as soon as it opened and a horrified expression covered his face.

"This would be a great time for me to sob, fling my arm over my eyes and run from the room, but you're kinda blocking the exit, and you have really big teeth."

He slumped across from what he assumed was Kaelin and covered his eyes with his hand tiredly, peering at him through his slender fingers.

[pohjaden]

Kaelin tilted his head to the side in response to Jet’s comment. ‘Wow. That statement was very… random. And no, it wouldn’t,’ he thought as he watched Jet collapse on the floor.

Minutes past as all he did was watch Jet’s reaction. Since he didn’t freak out, Kaelin stood up and slowly approached Jet. He licked Jet’s cheek and then sat down on his lap. Kaelin rubbed the side of his face against Jet’s chest and looked up at him, purring softly. ‘He smells even better up close. I hope he can get past this.’

[Jet Blayke]

Jet started warily petting...Kaelins? fur, quite positive that he had finally lost his mind, or was drunk and lying face down in the middle of the street.

He really hoped it was the second one.

He smirked slightly at the purring before throwing his arms around the large cat, burying his face in the soft fur.

[pohjaden]

Kaelin cuddled into the hug. He untangled himself from the arms before changing back into his human form. Grabbing Jet by his shoulders, Kaelin connected his lips to the redhead’s. He pushed Jet back so that he was lying on the floor and climbed in top of him, never breaking the kiss. He licked Jet’s bottom lip, asking for entrance. When he got it, he devoured the redhead’s mouth, slowing grinding his hips against the ones beneath him.

With one final kiss, he pulled back from Jet. He went over the piano bench, grabbed his clothes and put them on. Looking back at the ruffled green-eyed boy, Kaelin said, “Now’s when the serious talks go on. Once the talk is done, then we can move on to –" he looked Jet up and down hungrily. “- more interesting things.”

He opened the door and made his way towards the front of the house. He had taken only a few steps, when the doorbell rang. He went to answer it, and was only mildly surprised when he saw Jason standing there, clothes ripped and hair astray. ‘I had forgotten I told him to meet me here. This might be a problem.’

“Hey,” Kaelin said, stepping aside to let Jason in. “Did you have a productive night?”

“Hell yes,” Jason replied, smirking. He followed Kaelin to the living room. “I beat up almost a dozen people. It’s unfortunate, though, that I didn’t get to have another go at that redhead.”

He walked into the room and froze upon seeing said redhead, looking quite disheveled himself. Jason looked at Kaelin and back at Jet, then at Kaelin, then Jet, Kaelin, Jet until sending a glare towards Kaelin. “Hey Kae,” he said, “What’s the flaming prick doing here?”

[Jet Blayke]

It took the stunned Jet two minutes before he realised that yes, someone was speaking about him and no, it wasn't Kaelin. He gracefully untangled himself, standing up fluidly and sending Kaelin a slightly confused look before taking o the familiar cocky grin.

"What flaming pricks do best m'dear." He purred out the words giving Kaelin a lecherous grin before facing His previous victim.

"I'm at a loss, however, as to why you're here?"

He sauntered up to Kaelin's friend slowly, stopping a couple of inches away before turning his head to face Kaelin.

"Can I beat him up?"

[pohjaden]

“If you do, it will postpone our talk,” Kaelin said as he watched Jet walk up to Jason. Kaelin walked over to the couch and sat down. He would hate to see either one of them hurt. He knew that both of them could take care of themselves, but this would not be that cut in dry. They are not in a bar anymore.

Kaelin sat back and thought up how this should go down. ‘Okay, so Jason’s here. That doesn’t change much. He already knows about me being a snow leopard… He just doesn’t know about the mating system. Oh well, this will be an interesting afternoon. I still have work tonight, so we need to keep that in mind. We probably can still visit my parents today though.’

------

Jason glared once more at the redhead, before sidestepping and looking at Kaelin. “What have you and this asshole got to talk about that is so important?” Kaelin opened eyes, and Jason had to remind himself that this was the real Kaelin as he stared into deep black portals.

“You can stay and find out, “Kaelin exclaimed. “There’s something I need to tell you anyway.”

"Okay,” Jason replied, looking a little worried. He took a seat next to Kaelin and waited for the discussion to begin.

[Jet Blayke]

Jet pouted slightly and plopped down at Kaelin's feet, choosing not to sit on furniture in favour of being close to Kaelin. He leant back against his legs, head upturned so he could see and hear Kaelin.

"'Kay, I'll be good, but firstly, this 'asshole' thing has got to go. You can call me 'Master', 'Almighty One' or Jet. Not asshole."

He scowled at Kaelin's friend to re-inforce his point before turning back to Kaelin.

[pohjaden]

Jason growled and Kaelin had had enough. He was able to hold back his instincts up to now, but that was the last straw. He turned his cold gaze towards Jason and attacked him, pushing him down on the couch. He brought his face close Jason’s and growled menacingly.

“I was able to ignore it before, but if you so much as sneer at him again, I will kill you,” Kaelin stated, his voice like ice. Jason’s eyes widened. He had never seen Kaelin act like this, so he knew that he wasn’t kidding. Still in shock, all he could do was nod his head.

Kaelin sat up in his seat and took a deep breath. Then he down at Jet, who had been slightly misplaced because of his sudden movement. He ran his hand through that beautiful red hair. ‘God, this will take a lot of talking.’ He sighed and began a long explanation.

“The best way I can think to begin would be to tell you about myself. You already know that I can transform into a snow leopard. Let me tell you why. My mother is human, but my father is from another planet, a planet named Zerca. On this planet, its natives have the ability to shift between their human-like form and a cat form. All cat forms are different. My father takes the form of a clouded leopard. He came down here looking for his mate, and found my mother working as a college professor at the Bracken University. He decided to stay here with his mate, and I was born. I am half-Zercan and half human.”

[Jet Blayke]

Jet closed his eyes and leant further against Kaelin's touch, trying both to apologise and be of comfort to the tense man. He played idly with one of his hands whilst Kaelin talked, trying to remind himself that he was awake.

An uncomfortable feeling rose in his throat and he tensed up sharply, looking at Kaelin through his lashes warily.

"Does...Do you have a mate?"

The idea of anyone else touching his Kaelin was like liquid fire in his gut, and he gripped his hand slightly harder, almost desperately. He had just been assuming up until now, but what would happen if he wasn't Kaelin's mate? He didn't know how he would react if it turned out that he belonged to someone else, and distress started coming off of him in waves at the thought of losing what he wasn't even sure he had so soon.

[pohjaden]

Kaelin looked down at Jet, sensing the waves of distress, and smiled softly. He pulled Jet up from the floor and sat him across his lap, wrapping his arms around Jet’s waist.

“I do,” he replied, cuddling into the side of Jet’s neck, “and I’m never letting my little redheaded firecracker go.” Kaelin softly grasped the green-eyed boy’s chin and brought him down for a sweet but innocent kiss.

Jason, who by this time was tuning out Kaelin’s rant on his family, stared at his best friend and the redhead as they both lost themselves in each other. ’So, Kaelin found his mate, huh? I guess he doesn’t need me anymore.’ Trying not to let his sadness leak into his voice (and failing), Jason got up from the couch and said, “I’m happy for you, Kaelin. For you both, really. I’ll just let myself out.”

Kaelin ended the kiss slowly before looking Jason in the eyes. The look clearly said, ‘You are still important to me, and I’m still here for you.’ Jason smiled back and left the house, heading back towards the club. “Maybe I can find myself someone special too,’ he mumbled.

-----

Kaelin turned back to Jet and smiled. “Now that Jason is gone, there’s more I have to tell you involving the mating process. We completed step one when you grabbed my hand back when we first me. Our souls joined that day, which is why we can sense each other to a certain degree.”

Kaelin smirked at Jet. “The next step is for our bodies to become one.” He licked at Jet’s neck as his hand caressed his mate’s back. “The thing is, because I am half Zercan, it would be more than just an act of love.”

He pulled back from Jet so that he could look him in the eyes. ‘And man, do I love his eyes.’ “Zercans rarely find their mates, so when they do it is a very big thing. For this reason, the completion of a mating holds another special purpose.” He took a deep breath and said, “When our bond is complete, you will become pregnant. That is the way of a Zercan mating.”
