Charlie laid on his bed after washing with Nicole nearby. She was sliding her fingers through his hair, leaving Charlie to his thoughts. She already said what she had to say, telling Charlie that he was fine not being able to kill anyone. How he was even a good person for asking why they did what they did.

"No one would even consider asking, ready to get rid of someone they think is the scum of the earth. If that's not a leader, I don't know what is. And Xena had it coming by the sound of it. She never liked you and never gave you a chance. She was bitter she couldn't have our master and you had a chance.

People like that, they tend to get what was coming. But I'm sorry you had to deal with that." Nicole said. Charlie nodded. He understood, but he wasn't ready for that. He didn't like seeing life being taken away. Life was too short for that. But he tried to clear his mind and sleep, knowing he has to talk to Jasper tomorrow. He just hopes he wasn't angry.

-------------------------

The next day, Charlie woke up with Nicole gone from his sight and Jasper on the phone, shirtless. "I don't give a crap about that. I can leave right now and still be well off." Jasper said sternly. Charlie cleared his throat, Jasper turning to Charlie. He ended his call without a goodbye and threw it somewhere in his closet.

Charlie looked around, realizing the room needs to be cleaned. Charlie sat up. "Sorry for the room. I'll clean it up in a bit." Charlie working himself up and walking wobbly to the bathroom. After brushing his teeth and fully waking up, he walked into Jasper's chest and Jasper's arms held him close.

"I know about Xena and what she tried to make you do," Jasper said quietly. "Are you going to kick me out? Return me to the orphanage or put me in jail?" Charlie asked, worried. "No, but I want to show you something. Afterward, you can clean this room." Jasper said, letting go of Charlie.

He gave Charlie his robe and led him out of the room. Victor was out in the hall, leaning against the wall, somewhat glaring at Jasper. Charlie smiled and hugged him, catching Victor off guard.

Charlie felt the deep growl at Jasper while he wrapped his arms around Charlie. Jasper watched the exchange, not going to waste his breath to threaten Victor. Besides, he deserves it. He saved Charlie. Jasper might have to change some things, considering how tamed Victor was now and his close relationship with Charlie.

Jasper will admit, he was impressed by how Charlie allowed Victor to be a friend but kept that distance from Victor trying to get him to be his boyfriend. Charlie separated and Victor pressed a kiss to his forehead.

Friendly, maybe even brotherly, but it was meant to piss Jasper off. Charlie finally walked to Jasper waiting and held his hand, Jasper smiling softly at the gesture and they continued walking to Jasper's destination.

Jasper led him up a new set of stairs behind a door Charlie never paid attention to. They climb up until they appeared in what looks like a mini-office. Bookcases on the wall filled with books, two filing cabinets, a coffee maker and a mini-fridge.

There was another door Charlie assume was the bathroom. The desk with clean, Charlie figuring he must've cleaned it before Charlie arrived and put his work at his job. Behind the desk was a whole wall which was a huge tinted window.

When Jasper told him to go look, Charlie saw the town under the morning daylight. Everything shined and looked good like there was no evil. A re-do. "Is this what you mean when you said you have seen better? This is nice." Charlie asked.

"No, I have a better view than this? Nothing can compare to it." Jasper said. Charlie turned back to him. Dammit, he was still shirtless. The sun shined on him, making him look like a sex god. It didn't help that Jasper's pants hung on his hips. Charlie was starting to like relaxed Jasper.

"Then what view and when can I see it?" Charlie asked. Jasper smiled and told him to go to the door. Charlie did, opening the door, Jasper close by. Charlie walked into a bathroom, Jasper smiling at how confused Charlie looked. "See that boy to your right?" Jasper asked. Charlie turns to his right to only look in a mirror.

His mop of black hair was getting longer, starting to cover his forehead. His eyes darker than he thought, now seeing the gold Jasper said it was. Jasper got behind him and took off Charlie's robe, dropping it on the floor.

Charlie's body was a lot better than what it was when he first got here. You could see his ribs and Charlie was growing a small belly. He poked at it and smiled. He's body held scars and bruises, but Charlie sees it as he survived what he been through.

But even then, he still doesn't understand. "Yeah. It's me. I don't understand." Charlie told him. "When I first adopted you to be my mate, your owner told me you weren't the best.

How all the others didn't treat you right and he expected you to die already. I knew you were the one I wanted. You already had fight in you, but I wanted to push you further in hopes of making you better.

To realize yourself. But I didn't like you. I just wanted to satisfy my mother." Jasper said walking out the bathroom. Charlie followed him. "I don't get it." He said. Jasper pulled out his radio from the desk drawer and played classical music that rang throughout the room.

"After you slept, you looked out the window and saw many lights. You looked innocent and beautiful. I couldn't show my interest yet, so I complimented you without you figuring it out. You are the sight that can never be beaten by anything you think is beautiful.

One day, I want you to sit in front of the mirror and say it." Jasper said, sitting on his desk and looking out the huge window. Charlie blushed. "Thank you, Jasper. I hope to see that as well." Jasper looked at him with a smile that made Charlie shiver. With a finger, he gestured Charlie to come closer to him.

Charlie did, standing between Jasper's legs. Jasper lifted his chin and kissed his lips for a short period before tracing his kisses from his lips the neck. Charlie hummed, feeling himself tingle in his underwear. "I can always show you, my Omega," Jasper whispered.

"What about Xena? She was your closest friend?" Charlie asked, honestly wanting to know what Jasper thinks. "She made her choice when she tried to attack you. Victor has done the right thing. As for your distaste for killing, I don't mind. I rather have your hands clean than your hands to take a life." Jasper said.

Charlie smiled, happy Jasper didn't think less of him. Charlie kissed him, Jasper chuckling but not breaking it. There were still questions Charlie wanted to ask, but the kiss was getting heated and Charlie didn't want to break it. As Jasper started to take Charlie's t-shirt off, Charlie figure he was going to get his answer soon.
