A Reason To Stay {THE LITTLE VAMPIRE) RUDONY [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23 (END)

Tony woke up to a kiss at the base of his collarbone, cool lips pressed against his tanned skin. He opened his eyes, batting his lashes blearily at the pale boy above him. 

“Hey,” he said, allowing Rudolph to kiss him gently, coaxing out a sleepy moan from the blond teenager. 

“Hey,” the vampire whispered, fingering through Tony’s golden hair. There was something excited yet bittersweet in his countenance; he smiled warmly, but his eyes danced about with a miserable undertone, appearing to try and take in all of Tony at once; trying to memorize his sun kissed skin, his sky blue eyes, long blond lashes, and soft hazel freckles. Tony could feel Rudolph shift slowly, moving to straddle his hips. He bent down, wrapping an arm tightly around Tony’s shoulders. The other arm rested by his side so that he could cup the mortal’s face as they kissed yet again, their mouths melting together in a desperate kiss that left Tony jumbled and confused just as he was trying to wake up. 

When Tony attempted to rise into a sitting position, Rudolph pushed him down, pouncing fervently at the blond’s lips once more. 

“Woah, hey!” Tony pushed back as much as he wouldn’t like to, but something was off. He reached out to touch Rudolph’s cheek, grazing a thumb over it. “Are you alright?”

“Of course I’m not,” the vampire choked out. “I have to kill you in a few hours, and I don’t know what to do.”

Tony’s heart stuck in his throat. “Baby,” he pulled Rudolph down, “come here.”

The dark haired boy reluctantly obliged and lay down curled up beside Tony. His breaths were quickening, and Tony noticed this, turning over onto his side so that he could bring him in closer to his body. “Everything’s going to be okay, Rudy,” he whispered, running fingers through his soft ink-black hair. “I’m still going to be with you after… all that. There’s no way I’m leaving you forever.”

That didn’t seem to help all that much, because he felt Rudolph begin to snuggle into the blond teenager’s chest, his shoulders quivering. 

“Rudy,” he pleaded, pulling him impossibly closer so that his sniffles would somehow subside. “Please don’t… if you keep doing that I’m going to cry too. I don’t want us to be sad today.”

Rudolph looked up with a touch of calmness on his face, and he appeared to be trying to keep himself under control. “Ok- okay,” he sniffed, rubbing at his eyes as he snuggled into Tony again. 

“I- I could put on some music, if you’d like,” the mortal cut into a long uncomfortable silence. His boyfriend nodded, shivering slightly when Tony moved away to find a record that suited the moment. Eventually deciding on a disc picked at random, Tony placed the spindle on it and a soft rhythm began to trickle out of it, immersing the room in calming music. When Tony returned to his previous position in bed, Rudolph wrapped his arms around the blond teenager’s waist. He inched up his shirt, running cool hands along Tony’s warm, tan skin. 

Rudolph wrapped his legs around Tony, pulling him so close it almost hurt. So the mortal flipped over, hovering above his boyfriend sprawled out on the bed. Their lips met in a searing kiss when he bent down, evoking an involuntary whine from Rudolph. They kissed over and over, each touch of lips becoming more desperate and panicked. 

Then, Tony pulled away. The vampire let out an indignant shout when he got off the bed, but smiled when he offered his hand out to the immortal. 

“Rudolph Sackville-Bagg, may I have this dance?” he smirked at his boyfriend through heavy lashes, watching as the boy slid out of bed. 

“I would be much obliged, Tony Thompson,” he winked, placing his hand in the blond’s open palm. Tony bent down and brought Rudolph’s hand to his lips, pressing a kiss to the back just like the first time they had danced; just a feather brush of lips that made the immortal take in a sharp, desiring breath.
