Fallen

Twënty-one

'Take my heart and never give it back.'

__________________________

I lean forward pressing my lips against his and soon our lips are in a long forgotten dance, not caring for the copper taste of my blood that once cover his lips. I brush my tongue against his bottom lip asking for access and surprising he open up without a fuss, he moaned at the warm blood rolling down his throat when one of his fangs cuts my tongue while exploring his mouth. With the desire of wanting more he quickly moves into my lap and warping his arms around my neck while I have to crank my head back. Letting him do what ever he wishes, I let him pull away as he leave a trail of kisses down my neck before pushing my shirt aside to get more access. Right as he pushed his fangs into my skin I pull him closer to me before his legs lock themselves around my waist and so we sit there holding each other while Gregory drinks from my veins. Slowly he pulls his fangs from my skin once he's satisfied before giving the two holes a little kiss.

"First you saved my life then you did it again without hesitation and when I questioned you about it you said 'Because even a monster deserve to be loved and cared for, Gregory.'" I can see a rampage of emotions storming behind his eyes once he pulls back.

"My own mother saw what was happening before I realized it myself....for the first in my life my heart is stolen." I sit patiently listening to every word he has to say.

"I realized that last night when I saw you have fallen asleep on me that you have been by my side since we first meet. I tried to push you away but you won't have it and you have only showed me kindness, I realized I can't see my immortal life without you in it...... You have taken my heart from me." He whispered the last sentence to me when he lays his forehead onto mine as a gentle smile rest on my lips.

"You have done the same to me Gregory." I lay one of his hands on top of my fast beating heart.

"For a long time now I know my feeling for you but I didn't want to force anything onto you and I didn't want to ruin a friendship if you would have never feel the same." I told half of the truth while staring into these beautiful ruby eyes which is now my favorite color. Gregory pulls me into another kiss as I once again pull his body close to mine leaving no space between us and after a minute or so we pull apart. He let out a small yelp when I suddenly started to stand and clings to me, I chuckled with a smirk. He glares at me as I move to our room, once I step close to the bed after shutting the door I threw him onto it and he landed with a yelp before he glares at me again but I just smiled back. I give him a quick kiss before pull off his boots and throwing them to the floor along with his coat and vest, I let out a sigh when I lay down next to him. Gregory quickly snuggle into my side and put his head on my chest listening to my heart beating while my arm rest on his waist.

"Sing to me." Gregory whispered, I smiled as I tightened my hold on him.

"Of course." I whispered back.

"Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep lookin' for somethin' I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her dairy, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this." Half way through the song Gregory has fallen asleep and so after I followed, for the rest of the night we lay inside each other's arms."

I yawned as I'm once again on graveyard duty while Gregory and his family are out, I look around for a while until I hear screeching in the night sky.

'they're back earlier'

When I arrived were the family is only to see Gregory's father holding Tony up with two of his fingers under his chin.

"Tony? What are you doing here?" I questioned when I step next to Gregory only for his father to glare at me, Gregory glares back.

"You know this.... child?" He questioned me only for me to nod before speaking.

"Yes, I was looking after him the other day." Freda places a hand on her husband shoulder.

"Put the child down darling." She softly speaks,  Frederick gives her a considering look before doing what she asked but right as Tony gets his footing Frederick hisses at him causing the boy to run off. Suddenly a stake pierce the gravestone next to Frederick, we all turn to see the vampire hunter with a stake launcher and right after he press the tigger again the launcher stop working. At this moment the family moves into action but what they didn't see was the stake flying towards Gregory, as quick as I can I moved in front of him.
