Yuta was worried that Jaehyun wouldn't go along with his request. He kept his face hidden in the crook of Jaehyun's neck as he continued to speak. "I was thinking while you were asleep...if the only way to get this mark off me is for a demon to claim me, then why don't you claim me?"

He waited for Jaehyun to reply. He could feel the other's heartbeat and it had sped up once he mentioned his idea. He was getting almost sick to his stomach thinking that Jaehyun wouldn't want him in that way. He thought he did but maybe Yuta was wrong... "Yuta calm down. My heart may be racing but I'm pretty sure your thoughts are going faster."

He rolled over and looked at Yuta, "Is this truly what you want? You understand what this means?" Even though they had talked about it there was still more Jaehyun thought they needed to talk about.

"I know it's what I want. I think I understand what it means...you will claim me, removing your brothers mark but putting your own in its place. I am assuming we will be connected in a different way after that." Yuta thought it was a little strange that the more they thought about it the more he seemed to be at ease with the idea.

"Pretty much but I will also leave a physical mark on you. Similar to what people would think a vampire would do. I would bite you to release the mark my brother left and then let my mark be made. The connection we would have would be so much stronger than it is now. We would both feel the pull like I do now. It is similar to what people think of mates within animals. Also, if you took my mark you could block me from hearing your thoughts."

Yuta rolled onto his back and looked at the ceiling. "If I think about this, I know you will hear it, but can you like, just let me think and give me a few minutes?" Jaehyun nodded, "How about I go sit on the couch and watch tv while you think it over and you can come in there when you're ready." He kissed Yuta on the cheek and left him in the bedroom.

Yuta rolled over and buried his head in a pillow. Instead of thinking about what Jaehyun had said to him, he let himself imagine what his life would be like without Jaehyun. The loneliness. The nightmares. The hunger, both physically, emotionally, and mentally. The pain that he would be in if he didn't go through with this. He knew he didn't want any of that happening again. He didn't think he could take it anymore.

He walked into the living room but Jaehyun wasn't there. He frowned and then heard a noise and turned around to find Jaehyun leaning against the counter with his head hung. Yuta realized he was crying. "Jaehyun what's wrong? What happened?" He walked up behind him and put his arms around his waist loving the way his face fit perfectly between his shoulder blades.

"When you were thinking about your future without me...I could feel those emotions Yuta and I couldn't handle it. It scared me and upset me that you could have ever felt that way." He turned around and pulled Yuta into a tight hug. "Please tell me you don't want that...that you will let me stay with you. I don't want to let any of that ever happen to you again."

Yuta felt tears starting to fall when he looked at Jaehyun. "I don't want that either Jae. I want this and I want you. Please don't ever leave me. I think I'm falling in love with you."
