My Beautiful Beast [Angelo/Tarin]

[praiseofblood]

Angelo frowned. "Then how can I help?" he asked, biting his lip.

[fearless]

Tarin bit his lip, "Its not important. You help me by being here. I don't hurt as much."

[praiseofblood]

"Yes but, you're still hurting. I don't like to see people suffer, and you don't deserve to." Angelo said stubbornly, looking Tarin's body over.

[fearless]

Tarin blushed, "Thanks," he murmured. "Don't worry about me though ok?"

[praiseofblood]

Angelo frowned before deciding to finally drop it. He just sighed, feeling conflicted. Why did he even care so much? If the guy died then he'd be free, right? Angelo frowned again--just the thought of that hurt his heart.

[fearless]

Tarin watched him then pulled him into a gentle kiss. "Your still worried. Please. I will be fine. Someday. I promise."

[praiseofblood]

Angelo surprisingly didn't freak out with the kiss this time, but hesitantly returned it. He looked the male over. "I don't want you to die. I don't know why, but I don't. And I'm scared that you will." he said, biting his lip.

[fearless]

Tarin pushed a hand through his hair gently. "I won't," he whispered. "Tell me Angelo...do you think you could love me?" he asked softly, looking into his eyes.

[praiseofblood]

Angelo looked at the male, frowning a bit. Love a man? Love...Tarin? He blinked, looking at the male and at the gentle expression on his face. He pondered and wondered what he'd do if anything--it was painful to even think it. "I...think that I could." he answered finally. "If I don't already."

[fearless]

Tarin looked to him curious, kissing him again, gently. "Do you?" he asked trying not to overwhelm him. "Because I love you, so much..."

[praiseofblood]

Angelo looked at the male, eyes raking over his form for the millionth time. "You love me?" He asked, eyes a bit watery. "I...it hurts--physically hurts to see you this way." he said, looking at the male with a frown.

[fearless]

Tarin pulled him into a deep kiss. "I think that means you at least like me..."

[praiseofblood]

Angelo blushed. "If I do? Does that..." he bit his lip, not knowing what he was thinking.

[fearless]

Tarin smiled, "If we love each other...its supposed to stop..." he admitted softly. "But I didn't want to tell you if you didn't feel the same..."

[praiseofblood]

"Then I will try my best..." Angelo sighed, looking at Tarin with a small smile. "I want to paint you like this," he motioned to Tarin's body. "Healthy, and in the daylight."
