St. Mary's

18

Caleb and Eli arrive at the cabin, both exhausted and exited as the entered their room. Caleb has been waiting hand-and-foot on Eli all day. He'd opened every door, fetched everything he wanted and even spoon-fed him at lunch. Eli was beginning to get annoyed, but he knew Caleb couldn't stop himself even if he tried.

"Caleb, are we like... together?" Eli asked curiously.

"Are you asking me out?" Caleb smirked.

"No! I mean... well maybe?"

"How romantic." Caleb laughed.

Eli groaned, he went to Gypsy's cage. He missed her a lot, they've never been apart since they've met. As the snake climbed up his arm, he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his waist.

"Do you want us to be together?" He asked huskily in Eli's ear.

He pressed his slight erection to Eli's backside. Eli gasped in shock, his face was redder than ever before. He was already a panting mess and Caleb had barely teased him. Caleb breathed heavily on to his neck, as Eli shivered involuntary.

"So?" He asked, nipping Eli's earlobe.

"Hmmm, what?" Eli moaned out.

Caleb chucked, the rumbling sending pleasant vibrations along Eli's back.

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Um, Oh... Right!" Eli straightened up, put Gypsy back and turned to face Caleb.

Caleb looked down at Eli with a small nervous smile, even though he was confident he was a little worried about the answer. Eli broke into a grin, loving the way Caleb was showing something other than idiocy. He knew logically they barely knew each other, that he couldn't possibly have feelings for a man he'd known for less than three weeks. However, his heart beat painfully against his chest, begging him to comply.

"Yes, I'll be your boyfriend." He answered in such a small voice, Caleb almost didn't catch it.

But he did. He leaned down and connected their lips, it was sweet and loving. He enjoyed the way Eli picked up things quickly, he'd already manged to slyly but effective copy all Caleb's movements. He wasn't going to take things any further, but Eli pulled him gently towards the bed. Without breaking the kiss Caleb climbed on top of Eli. The kiss was becoming heated now, timid hands were roaming each others bodies. When they pulled apart to breathe, Caleb looked down at Eli with a smile that the boy immediately returned. Caleb lightly ran his hand down Eli's chest, watching the way he shivered in delight from the foreign touch. He stopped above the waistline of his pastel green jeans, he looked up into to Eli's eyes asking for permission.

"Caleb! When did you get- Oh! Shoot, I should have knocked." The door abruptly opened, then slammed shut.

There was a knock from the other side as Caleb and Eli straightened up, Caleb called the person in. Eli watched as a slightly smirking Jordan walked in. He groaned internally, why do they all smirk? He hid his red face into Caleb's back when Jordan wiggled his brows suggestively. Caleb laughed, which received a weak punch from Eli.

"So, things are going good then?" Jordan laughed.

"Other than a few stitches and a broken arm, we're perfect." Caleb sighed.

"I wanted to know if you'd like to play a few video games?" Jordan asked.

Caleb looked at Eli who nodded eagerly, he was too mortified to look him in the eye. He couldn't believe he'd let things go so far, he was going to- Eli couldn't contemplate about it any longer. Caleb snorted at his Angel's red cheeks and pleading eyes, and dutifully agreed. He pressed a gentle kiss to Eli's head before following Jordan out. On the way down, Jordan kept nudging and grinning at Caleb. He couldn't keep the smile off his own face.

Eli looked around the room to see Caleb's leather jacket on the floor he picked it up with a sigh, that boy is too messy. He almost dropped it, it was a lot heavier and bigger than anything Eli had ever worn. He decided to try on, I mean that's what boyfriends do, right? He put it on quickly, as it fit easily over his cast. It was huge, and hefty but Eli liked the way it felt. The way it smelt. Eli decided to face Caleb again, and headed downstairs, stopping as he over-heard Caleb and Jordan talking.

"He's perfect!" Caleb sighed.

"Why is that?" Jordan asked, rather entertained that his friend was full-blown fanboying for Eli.

"He's so small, and sweet. He's annoyingly caring and stubbornly beautiful." He sighed blissfully.

Eli blushed as he listened, he was beginning to think his skin might change to a permanent shade of red at this rate. He also vaguely realised he had a huge problem in eavesdropping, and that maybe he should consider talking to his therapist.

"He always smells like vanilla; how can someone possibly smell that good?"

"I don't know, but I get what you mean. Rory always smells like honey." Jordan groaned.

"So, you and Red? How's that going?"

"Well not as good as you and Eli, we haven't even kissed." He sighed.

Caleb normally would have said something comforting, but Eli was all he could think about.

"Oh. God. His kisses. His lips are insanely soft, like I didn't think it was possible to have lips that soft, and earlier he let out the cutest little moan..."

Eli decided it was time to interrupt, he didn't want Caleb talking about that! Although he was still a bright shade of red from all the compliments Caleb was proudly throwing out, he walked as casually as he could into the room. Caleb suddenly let out a groan, that made Eli jump.

"Sorry, you just look so hot in my leather jacket." He breathed out roughly.

"That's my cue." Jordan said as he quickly jumped up and exited the room.

Eli stood nervously in the centre of the room as Caleb's hungry eyes traveled over his entire body, he blushed when Caleb let out another groan. He decided to muster up as much courage as he could, he walked towards Caleb and timidly straddled him. He felt very lucky hearing Caleb be so passionate and openly loving.  He wanted to show him exactly how happy he was. Caleb made Eli feel brave, and that excited him to his very core. Caleb was completely shocked Eli was being so affectionate, gently sliding his hands up his chest. Caleb's mouth opened slightly in surprise and Eli took the opportunity to lick his open mouth gently but daringly. Caleb snapped out of his trance, quickly taking control of a kiss and thrusting up slightly into Eli. They both moaned at the friction, getting a little too carried away. When Eli realised they were in the living room he pulled back reluctantly and laughed when Caleb tried to follow.

"We're in the living room!" Eli scolded gently.

"Oh, no you don't. You can't come down here, looking that sexy, kiss me so beautifully and then imply the setting is inappropriate." He laughed, shaking his head.

"I – I didn't..."

Eli gasped as Caleb roughly grabbed his ass. He let out an impulse moan at the feel of his strong and callous hands. The minute Eli's head rolled back Caleb kissed his neck gently, licking from his collar bone to his Adam's apple. Eli shuddered uncontrollably, trying to find the will to stop the beautiful attack. Caleb was leaving possessive and impulsive marks all over his neck, but he couldn't stop. Hearing Eli moan was the best thing he'd ever heard. After a few minutes reducing Eli into a panting mess, Caleb pulled back. He laughed as Eli whimpered from the loss, melting like ice-cream into his tight embrace.

"That was payback."

Eli pouted like a child, as he placed his able hand in the pocket of Caleb's leather jacket. He found a piece of paper and pulled it out curiously. Caleb's eyes widened almost comically.

"I found that outside the zombie cabin, I completely forgot about it."

"What does it say?" He asked, unfolding it quickly.

"I don't know, I never read it."

Eli looked down with a frown when he read it;

We can't fight alone Si,

Around the right corner midnight creeps,

Second day of the week, ten minutes deep.
