His Diamonds On the Floor |AXEL|

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

LA Fever was definitely not an option. Yes, it is the biggest club in LA and the most popular when it comes to the college kids choice. But unfortunately from last nights scene, he was rendered unable to party. He was now doubley regretting taking a swing at Axel. So now, he sat at the bar in a white singlet shirt, black jeans and hightops. Tanned skin and buldged muscles revealed tonight for reasons Eli didn't really want to admit. He leant over the bar on a stool, sipping a beer as he waited for Axel.

He had thought about him all night. Deep thoughts, no kink. About how he is, the issues he has. It bothered Eli for some reason. It itched at his conscience ever since he gave him a lift home. He had packed up the set with the band for an hour, and his head was still in the clouds on the topic of Axel; the troubled-guy he had hung out with. Now he waited, since having called him to arrange a drinkathon where Eli was the defending champion. Looking at his phone, he checked for a text or something. He was kind of nervous actually but he wanted to punch himself. Seriously dude, it is hanging out, not a date. Nothing else. He is a confused and broken mess of a guy who Eli really wanted to help. To talk through all the shit in his life. Eli was really okay to be the shoulder for Axel, and waited in anticipation as he took another sip of his drink, earphones in his ears from his Iphone. He didn't want to look like a loner let alone a boring loner.

[Axel Hayden Evans]

Putting the silver cross necklace around his neck, he stared blankly at himself in the mirror. Yeah, he was a little on edge about all the things he had discovered recently, that he decided that being a little religious wasn't going to be a big deal, considering. It was a nice cross, he remembered getting it from his aunty, his mother's sister as a gift when he turned eighteen. Sure, he wore it a few times here and there, but apart from being a gift, it had never really carried any symbolism or meaning for him. That was, until now. Sure, a cross around his neck wasn't going to stop all of the world's problems which were being thrown at him, but it was a start. And at least he would have some protection against being bitten by a vampire, at least thats what he thought anyway. He also carried a stake in his belt, underneath his black t-shirt and leather jacket. He felt like in doing this, he was accepting the things which troubled him, but he just knew that after being targetted so many times already, it would only be a matter of time before he was targetted again; it was time he knew how to protect himself.

He arrived outsite midnight bar, a place he really wasn't too familiar with; where was he familiar with in this town, anyway? He had recieved the text from Eli to meet up here; Eli probably figured going back to LA Fever wasn't a very good idea, though Axel couldn't agree more with that thought. It was good to go somewhere different, somewhere fresh. Though as he had walked down the abandoned alley, he was wondering just how different this place was. Finally arriving, he entered the doors, instantly hearing the music as he entered; granted, it was nowhere near as loud as LA Fever allowing conversations to be actually heard, but it was still loud. He walked in, his senses tingling as he looked around. Some of the people just looked suss and made Axel curious about what this place actually was. He soon saw Eli, walking over to the bar as he glanced around at the people, still curiously.

He sat down at the stool next to Eli. "Hey dude." He greeted the boy, placing his hand out to shake the man's hand. "Nice choice of places...Is it just me, or does something seem a little 'strange' here?" He couldn't put his finger on it, but something just seemed off and he wanted to know what it was. It was like his senses were working in overdrive, or something. He quickly ordered a drink, hoping the alcohol would loosen him up a little, or something like that anyway.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

He was drinking beer. Eli didn't drink beer, he drank spirits. He drank bottles of vodka until he passed out. His blood was one part bodily fluid and two parts bourbon. But beer? Beer was beneath him but it made sense. In the atmosphere of a quiet, little and - well - hidden bar. Over the bar, looking at his phone he couldn't help the shifty eyes. You know the eyes. That uncontrollable feeling of uncomfort in a room where something seems suss, but you have no idea what it is. Is it the people? The music? The mood that your in? Or is it just paranoia. Since Eli is a little bit skeptic, he just marks it down as the later so he sat, keeping his eyes straight now with rock music blaring in his ears. Completely - nuts.

Finally he had a friend. Axel moved up, catching Eli's sight as he turned to him. A brush of his hand smacked the ear phones out of his ears as they feel to his lap and he shook Axel's hand. Finally his night was complete. "Hey bud". He gave him a smile, removing his hand as he took a drink of his beer. Yeah, beer. Looking over at Axel, he saw how shifty he seemed. Maybe it wasn't paranoia. Axel was just picking up the awkwardness a lot more abruptly then Eli. Which was really perceptive in a 'odd-vibe' kind of way. But cute. Along with what Axel was wearing? He mentally slapped himself as he had a drink but then leaned closer to Axel so no one would hear. "Okay, true. It is really shifty here. Sorry, not exactly the best place huh?". Sighing, he then put his earphones in his pocket. A swing and a miss for Eli tonight.

Then things got more interesting but not better. From behind him, an ogre-looking guy with a big beard and a size that should permit the guy with his own post code. He wasn't just plump but built, and really intimidating. Eli glanced at him, but then looked away. Not the best guy to try and get involved with that night. Especially when it is two modern-timed guys in amongst what seemed like hillbilly central. But the ogre guy didn't keep moving, he stopped. "What the hell are you doing here?". The guy growled at Axel. Eli looked to him, smirking slightly. What was this going on here? The monster of the bar walks up to start a fight. Really? What was it with fighting when Axel and Eli were together? "Listen dude, we don't want trouble". Turning back to his drink, he then saw the hand.

It went over Eli's shoulder, and nudged Axel on the shoulder. What the hell? Seriously, no one in the world would want to know him then actually know him. And Axel probably didn't. So slamming his glass down, Eli became oddly defensive. Kind of protective. Not over himself, but - Axel. "I'll smash you Evans, you little bitch". Standing up at the speed of light, Eli turned to him. At the moment, his size and Texas serial killer-like charm was not intimidating Eli at all. He did not - repeat not, let him talk to Axel like that. Stepping up, he looked into his eyes. He was pissed to the extreme now. "Don't you fucking touch him?". Glaring at him, he then saw something weird. The ogre's forehead wrinkled up like a wringed sponge. His eyes changed to a golden shade, fangs pearing over his bottom lip and a growl coming under its breath. Eli was shocked slightly, but wasn't standing down because he was the only thing between him and Axel. Even though this guy was...... was........ A FRIGGIN' VAMPIRE!

[Axel Hayden Evans]

"Well, least its quiet, he responded to Eli, taking another sip from his drink. Quiet was good at times, especially after their last encounter. He enjoyed the scene at LA Fever, but a change was good...Just not this drastic? The place seemed to be filled with hill billys, looking a lot older than them. Didn't Eli have better taste to take them to a place which wasn't flocked with oldies, or something? He continued glancing around suspiciously. Something was just off about this place, he just wasn't sure what it was. It just seemed...Different, if that was even a way of putting it. He eyed the bartender with a question. "Who are they- over there?" He asked curiously, glancing over at a bunch of guys who looked rather rough, yet with something strange about them. The bartender looked over, then turned back to Axel. "Those guys are trouble. With a capital T. If you want my advice, steer clear of them as much as possible, even though they won't do anything inside these walls, outside, its another story. Watch yourselves.

[/color] Axel nodded in response, once again looking over, wondering what he meant by not attacking within these walls?

Before he could go any further with his investigatory theories, they were interrupted by a man who had come out of nowhere, it seemed. He put his drink down, eyeing the man as he spoke. He assumed the man knew Eli or something, until he realized the man was looking directly at him. What was going on? "What does it look like? I'm having a drink with my friend. And whats it to you, anyway?" He wasn't going to back down from someone bullying him, even if the bartender had warned him about these types of people. He felt something different about this man also, a lot stronger, since he was so close to him now. He turned back to his drink, then felt a hard nudge in his shoulder. He paused for a moment, smirking softly, before looking up at the bar. He then heard the man refer to him by his last name...How the hell did everyone know who he was around here? This made him instantly assume this man wasn't exactly 'human'.

This was confirmed when the man's face morphed into that of a vampire, something he now remembered from the night he was kidnapped, and from when he was attacked before he even arrived in Los Angeles. He gasped softly, before remembering Eli was right there too, who probably knew nothing about this kind of stuff. How was he supposed to explain this? Act dumb, or something? He couldn't just do that, especially if this man was going to begin throwing tables or beating up on people and/or him. He couldn't exactly ask this man if he could make a phonecall to his brothers, either, now could he? He sighed, getting to his feet as Eli stood up to this man. Although he respected his bravery, in such a case, not a very smart move. He grabbed Eli by the wrist, facing the vampire. "You have a problem with me? Lets take it outside..." He then turned to Eli. "Wait here, won't be long. He then begun walking towards the exit, the vampire smirking as he followed Axel out. He couldn't involve Eli in this, he just couldn't. He knows how it feels to become involved in something he didn't want to.

Now outside, he quickly turned and punched the man in the face. He gasped, holding his fist in pain as he noticed that the much bigger man hadn't even flinched. He soon felt a strong uppercut, which sent him far across the alley, into a brick wall. He groaned in pain, as he tried to get back to his feet. The man had already got to him however, and grabbed him by the head. He kicked him in the arm which apparently worked for the time being. He then kicked him in the balls, and watched as the man groaned. Wow, it was actually effective?! He didn't think kicking this man continuously in the balls would defeat him though, so he remembered he had a stake in his belt. He pulled it out and aimed overhead towards this vampire's heart, but his wrist was caught. The man then gripped him around the throat, raising him off of the ground. His grip was extremely strong, causing Axel to drop the stake as he felt the life flowing out of him as he continued to choke. He tried struggling with his legs, but this man was too powerful.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

His hand shook vigorously. He looked into golden eyes, they gleamed into him. But it wasn't anything mystic or extraordinary. It was souless and evil. Eli didn't know what to do, but the fact that his guy knew Axel made him a bit worried. How did Axel know him? Some kind of freakazoids convention? But how he saw Axel, the way he was, he seemed damaged but not weird. More like he was fighting as well as he could to try and seem completely normal. But it didn't take a psychic to see that there is more then meets the eye with that guy. Also with this guy. What doubled as a maxi cab was fierce looking and standing in front of him. Cold breath came from the growls that went over Eli's chest as it rose and contracted really fast. He was pretty freaked now, but someone wasn't. Axel took his wrist but Eli wasn't going to look away from the - vampire.

At Axel's suggestion, Eli turned to him. Anger and fear morphed into worry as he looked into Axel's eyes. "No, not alone". He tried to persuade him but Axel was already going outside with the guy. Eli was left there, looking at the closed door. Axel might want him to stay, but he wasn't going to. Eli didn't listen; one of his curses but in this case - a gift. Walking passed the bar, he grabbed a half-full bottle of bourbon off of the counter. The bartender shouted after him but he didn't listen. Before he knew it, he was running up alleyway. He couldn't see them until he heard the bang, and turned to see Axel and the vampire having a showdown. What the fuck was he doing? Going up against a giants by yourself? Eli shot forwards. He was not going to hurt Axel!

Charging towards the vampire, he did all that he could. He swung the bottle. With a wide swing, it smashed the vampire over the back of the head. He just hit a vampire with a bottle! What was this, Buffy? Glass scattered across the ground as he finished the swing. The demon was distracted, growling as it looked back to Eli. Eli didn't know what to do, so on gut reaction to being snarled at he did this. Stabbing the broken end of the bottle at its face, he couldn't believe what he did. It stabbed into the vampire's eye, his grip opening as it covered its face. Oh god, he just stabbed someone in the eye! "Oh my fucking god, I am the man". He kind of boasted but was more freaked and moved to Axel. An arm went under Axel as he tried to pick him up because really, this vamp was pissed, and he didn't want Axel to get hurt. "Come on".!

[Axel Hayden Evans]

He continued to choke, wishing that now of all times his brothers just decided to show up and lend him a hand. Isn't that what they do, anyway? But soon enough, he heard a smash, distantly seeing glash shattering over the vampire's head. He felt the grip around his neck loosen and he was soon thrown against the floor, hitting the ashfelt with a hard thud. He begun coughing from the loss of oxygen in his neck, allowing a moment to look up at what had happened. Eli was there, apparently smashing a bottle of alcohol over the vampire's head, as he could see broken shards of glass and liquid all along the floor. He then saw Eli spike the vampire in the eye with the glass. Ouch. He crawled away from the vampire, over to where the stake was that he had dropped. He picked it up, but soon felt a comforting arm around his body as Eli helped him up and signalled for them to run. Although Eli seemed to be handling this unnaturally good, it seemed like more means of desperation than anything else.

He got to his feet with the assistance of Eli, and put his hand around the other man's shoulder. Some powerful guy he was, one hit from the alley wall and his ribs were in so much pain. Maybe his power was different than the other two, but still, what kind of help could he be if he just got beat up so easily? He continued to breath, recovering the lost breath from being suffocated with the tight grip of the vampire. He glanced back, hoping they hadn't been followed. Hell, what was he thinking? Of course they would be followed. "You should've stayed inside...I was handling it... Okay, maybe he wasn't, but saying he got his ass handed to him wasn't exactly an awe inspiring thing to say, anyway. "Nice shot, though. Guess that was our free drinks for the night. He grinned softly as he stopped, breathing in and out again, turning to the man. "His probably not going to be far off...We need a plan, we can't outrun him. Even though Eli probably knew he wasn't human, he couldn't exactly fill him in on why this man could catch up to him so easily.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

He kept a muscular arm around Axel as they moved down the alleyway. Back into the bar? Hell no, unless they wanted to get gang bashed by a thousand hillbilly vampires. Once again, vampires. They were fleeing from a vampire. This was not normal, obviously. It was exhilirating, he didn't know what to do. To throw holy water at it, to make it eat garlic, to stake it. Who would know? Pulling Axel beside him, he heard his words. He snirked slightly, and then looked to him. If he had hurt his head, he wanted him to stay conscious. He was really worried for him as he pulled him in closer. He had to protect him, he just had no friggin idea how. What was he supposed to do? A sign from god would be really convenient right now. "Yeah, I saw that". They got to the end of the alley when Eli looked back and saw the vampire walking at a fast pace behind them. Turning the alley out onto the vacant streets, they moved towards a wall where Eli leant Axel against. He had to do something.

A plan? They couldn't outrun him, especially if Axel was hurt. But he had to do something. He tried to think of vampires. It was always the heart. Blade, Fright Night; it always had something to do with the heart. Then looking down at Axel, he saw the stake in his hand. The vampire had turned the corner and Eli glanced back at him. He had to take a reckless and stupid leap of faith. "Just stay down". A shaking hand took the stake from Axel's hand, holding it tight in his hand only seconds before the vampire grabbed the back of his singlet. Ripping at Eli, the back of his thin shirt ripped as Eli shot back. The vampire glared at him, blood covering where his eye was. Eli didn't have time to react because the vampire sent a punch across his face. He could feel blood coming from his lips, mixing into his mouth as his head swung to the side. It was like a truck only hit his face. He tried to swing at the vampire, stake and fist swinging. But the vampire gripped the back of his neck and shot him towards the wall. Eli swung, his back hitting the brick wall. The rough surface scarred down his back, grazing against his shoulder blades as he slid down the wall. But then, in a daze, he looked back at the vampire.

He realized the stake wasn't in his hand. Limp fingers didn't feel it. He looked to the vampire. He wasn't attacking him. But the vamp did have a good length of the stake sticking out of its chest. It must of just hit the heart just a bit, because the vampire clutched the piece of wood in its chest. Screaming in pain, the vampire burst into a cloud of dust that fell to the ground. A dribble of blood came from the side of Eli's mouth, gravelled grazings were over his back as the shirt hung off of his body. In pain, he looked over at Axel, grunting in pain as he tried to get off of the wall. "Are you okay?". Even though he was in pain, his main concern was how Axel was. Guess that means he has feelings for this guy.

[Axel Hayden Evans]

He felt Eli move him against the wall, where oddly it became more comfortable for him, maybe because they weren't walking anymore. He didn't have a plan, he was only new at this. He wasn't like Everette, who just burst onto the scene screaming words and defeating enemies with magic. He wasn't like Xzavier, who could throw a vampire half way across the room on strength alone. What was he, anyway? That part, he nor his brothers seemed to know. But the words of Selena did stick in his mind...She said he had power, he just didn't know where or how to use it. A manual or some old guy like 'Rupert Giles' would be handy around about now. Someone to guide him and invoke motivation and confidence in him through some cheesy yet sappy British speech. Someone to train him, teach him and help him out when he needed guidance. But he didn't have anyone, he just had his brothers; and he barely even knew them.

All he knew that he had staked a vampire a year ago; by accident of course, but the fact remained that he was 1-0 against the vampire community. Yay him! But he hadn't faced a vampire this big or powerful before, and was really lost for what to do. Above all things, he felt compelled to protect the innocent, who in this case was Eli. Wow, seemed like being a hero was just becoming him, oddly enough. But how he was going to protect Eli? He had no idea. Call him selfish, but having Eli run off into the sunset and leaving him with the vampire in a heroic act wasn't the best ideas, as he knew that then he would be screwed. And there was so much more to look foward to in life- booze, sex, oh and homework. Motivation enough there!

He soon felt the stake being taken by Eli as he told him to stay put. "No..." He muttered softly, coughing more as before he knew it, Eli had been grabbed by the shirt by the vampire. This wasn't going to end well. He got to his feet, but was kicked in the face by the vampire. He was now slammed once again into the hard concrete wall, falling to the ground as he struggled to get back to a standing posistion. He soon looked up, gasping, as the vampire screamed in agony, and then poofed into dust, like it had the time when he first slayed a vampire. He looked up at Eli, who was bloody lipped as he approached Axel asking if he was okay. "Think I broke a rib, but apart from that, five by five. It'll heal... One thing he did know was that he had supernatural healing, meaning that he would heal a lot faster than a normal person. Once again the 'normal person' theme came up in his life.

He smiled at Eli, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Not even, I'm just a bit sore but all good." He looked up at the lip of Eli, wiping his finger along the man's bottom lip, wiping the blood off of his lip. "Whats it feel like to know your whole idea of a natural world just got ripped out of inside of you?" He asked curiously, though knowing the answer, because he himself had gone through the same thing when he fought his first vampire, unknowingly however. He knew the feeling then on from when he was kidnapped by Selena. He walked off of the wall slightly, cringing softly in pain as he turned back to Eli. "And just for the record, I'd still outdrink you right now." He grinned towards Eli. When circumstances like these arise, you really do realize who your friends are. Apart from a rocky start, it seemed he had learned who his real friend is.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

Rising? It didn't sound like it would feel like fun. The pain in his shoulder blades was searing, but gay or not Eli is not a bitch. But this was kind of cool. The pain made up for the truth; he killed a vampire. Yeah it was kind of creepy he stabbed some guy in the heart, but the dude turned into dust. It was cool, even though he tossed Eli around the street like some skitz dog with a chew toy. Axel rose and moved over to him. He seemed to be feeling heaps better which was positive. But still, how did that vampire know his name? A vampire none the less. It seemed kind of suss, but for now he would leave it be. The last thing he wanted to have bad suspicions risen on Axel of all people.

He knealed down to him, and cutely wipped the blood off of his lip. The whole time, Eli didn't blink or flinch. He just stared warmly into those bright eyes. It had been a long intense night now, they really needed to chill. He asked the question, and Eli smirked slightly, still looking into his eyes. ''Okay actually. At least I am a firm believer that LA isn't boring''. Axel turned from him, so Eli decided to get up. An arm on the wall, he groaned a bit as he rose to his feet. He was definitely going to be in pain tomorrow. Literally feeling like hell in the morning. He heard Axel, and smirked. ''Yeah, definitely no-''. He stumbled forwards, trying to find his feet for a second but he had stumbled to close. He stopped just in front of Axel, and caught his eye.

Face to face, only inches apart. His dark eyes looked into Axel's. He could feel the guys breath. Could feel that he had a 'want' for this guy. Was this just friendship, he wasn't sure. He was looking down at his face, and inched a bit closer. Not to much, but gradual. In this kind of situation, two things run through the mind. If they will respond, what your feeling is true and you have sent out the call and it is only up to them to respond. Or if they will pull back, and everything is destroyed. Eli was taking a risk, but it wasn't the first one he was taking tonight.

[Axel Hayden Evans]

LA wasn't boring. He had quickly figured that out in his short stay in the city so far. LA was full of supernatural forces one had nightmares of. So many people who had secrets, magic, blood, anything else; you name it and it was in Los Angeles. It definantly wasn't a boring city, though at the same time his definition of boring was different to many who had never experienced the supernatural aspect of it. Most would see it as a city of clubbing, good parties and people, however he saw the term 'not boring' as so much going on in so little time, constant action and thrills. Adventures, though not always ones he was interested in taking part in. Eli had seemingly figured this out for himself now, however he hoped Eli would be able to handle it; Axel was told he had a destiny and being involved in this was apart of him, whether he liked it or not. Eli had no part in this; he had a choice, and he didnt' have to be involved, he didn't have to fight it or anything like that. He had the option to say no. Something Axel actually wished he had.

He noticed Eli stumble, and put his arm to Eli's muscular arm, in case the boy was going to fall or something. He then noticed Eli and himself were rather close; in many ways, too close. He could almost feel Eli's body against his, and in many ways, he felt relaxed and at ease. It was strange, he hadn't really felt like this before; actually at ease with someone. Although he had been aorund the block a few times, with girls, he usually did it just for the thrills, but didn't actually feel at ease with any of them; after all, it was just for fun. But this situation, was just something completely different for him, he really didn't know how to react. Perhaps there was a reason the two got attacked tonight and ended up so close together, perhaps he was just thinking too much into this. However as Eli leaned in closer, not by mistake obviously, Axel realized he really didn't have any time to think, contemplate, or even analyse. All he really had time for, was to do.

His hand almost naturally glided its way down from its grip on Eli's upper arm, down to his wrist, and finally to his hand. Before he really knew anything, he felt Eli's warm hand against his own. It did feel good, strangely enough. Wow, what was he doing? It was like his mind was frozen and his body was just doing what it felt like doing, as he soon felt his hand clasped into Eli's. He managed to look down at his hand, then reverted his gaze back to Eli's intense eyes, gazing back at him. Without any further hesitation, he felt his body move foward softly and slowly, his lips meeting Eli's in mere moments. It was then that he felt Eli's lips against his own. It did feel really good. He felt comfort. He then withdrew slowly, blinking softly with hesitation. "Oh...Uh, so we should get out of this alley or something before something else attacks us..." He stumbled softly on the ending of his words, as he looked around curiously, not really sure how to react or what to do next.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

The closer he got, the more stronger it got. People talk about the static electricity, the spark and connection between people. But it is more then that. It is physical, an emotional and intimate link that puts you at ease. Eli wasn't tensing anymore, he wasn't flinching from pain or from what was happening. He just let it go. He moved in closer, slowly as Axel responded. Slow and smooth, and Eli felt Axel's hand slide down his toned arm to Eli's hand. It felt so right. Yeah, every cheesy dickhead says that but it was true. It wasn't awkward or uncomfortable. Just - natural. Eli closed his eyes as there lips touched. The softest and most intimate kiss he had ever had. He parted, his eyes opening as he looked back to Axel's eyes. It had happened, but was it inevitable or in the moment? They were just put in a dier life-threatening situation there.

Axel then pulled away, tripping over words that they should go. It was true because they already been hit by what goes bump in the night. He didn't want to stick around for more. But he couldn't help it. ''Yeah, I know''. But stepping towards Axel as he went to walk, he grabbed him by the hand. He pulled to spin the guy back around to face him. Moving in once again, Eli's hand touched Axel's neck as he killed Axel again. This time stronger, with more passion. This time with tongue. They had to go, he knew this. But he just had to know. He had killed a vampire and taken a chance with the perfect guy tonight. What else could happen?

[Axel Hayden Evans]

What a night. Being attacked by a vampire, thrown into a hard concrete wall, failing to have at least one drink with Eli, and then ultimately, an intense moment where the two boys engaged in a kiss in a moment which would itch on his mind for a while. A moment which really confused him, and made him wonder what he was doing and who he had become. After all, he didn't really know himself anymore. He went from some guy off the street searching for his parents, to a guy with two brothers, a supernatural destiny, fighting vampires for a living and making out with dudes. If any of this crazy stuff was even suggested to him months ago he would probably think the person telling him this was on crack or something. He might have even laughed it off. However he wasn't laughing any longer.

Moving away from Eli, he felt the man's touch of his hand again. He felt surges through his body, he couldn't move away from the man's grip, because somewhere inside him it just felt right, and his body wouldn't let him move away from that. He was soon pulled in and the two were engaging in another kiss; this time, much more intense and gratifying. He couldn't deny how amazing it felt, how amazing it was. He felt Eli's tongue touch his own in an almost instinctive moment. He had moved his hand down the boy's body and to his abdonem, resting his hand there as the two continued to engage in a passionate kiss, definantly different to their previous kiss moments ago. He wanted to keep moving so that they weren't attacked, but he also wanted to stay here, enjoy the moment with Eli. Actually, he didn't really care anymore if a vampire came up from behind and attacked him, because nothing could ruin this feeling that he was having, the emotions running wild.

After a moment of gratification, he moved away from Eli, his hand still against the man's body. He looked at the man with a small grin, feeling amazingly at ease, and in comfort. "I'm sorry you had to go through all of this tonight...I didn't mean for you to get caught up in any of this, I really didn't. I didn't want you to end up like me." He sighed softly, looking down for a moment at his hand resting on Eli's body. Although this man had a choice, whether he liked it or not, tonight was now apart of him, there was no choice in that. Eli had encountered and experienced a vampire, the supernatural world...Everything. There was really no going back from that, something he quickly learned. He didn't want Eli getting too caught up in that, it was a burden, not a gift.

He wrapped his arms around the neck of Eli now, smiling softly as he begun to look back at the man whom he had just finished kissing. "Can we just forget about everything. The night, the vampire, everything. Except this. Can you just forget that we aren't just normal college boys anymore and just be with me right now?" Sure, he wanted to be normal, but he could at least try to shut out the bad memories at times, and only think about the good memories, the good moments- this one, for example.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

Everything felt unimaginable. It had been a long time where he had felt this with a guy. Usually it was hooking up, sex and leaving the next day without a word spoken. Skipping out the window and hoping not to make too much noise that they will wake up. But this, right now, was something else entirely. The warmth of Axel's tongue, the softness of his lips. Axel's hands ran down hIs abs, a tingle running over Eli's skin as Eli ran a hand up Axel's chest, to his neck as he kissed him. It was friggin' awesome. In a way, Eli didn't ever want this feeling to end. But inevitably like everything in life that was good, it had to end.

Axel parted, looking to Eli's eyes as they stood so close to each other, Eli breathing in lack of oxygen, his hand touching the back of Axel's head. Axel was so appologetic, feeling so guilty that this had happened. It was now concluded that Axel had something to do with this? Not in a bad way, but somehow this guy was involved in - the supernatural. This all still sounded so fucked up. But fortunately, turning this all into Axel's fault wasn't something Eli would do. Shit happens, no one can do anything about that. The amazing moment they were having, he would not ruin it. Axel lowered his head, but with a soft had he touched Axel's chin, trying to rise his head to look at him. ''Hey, hey. Don't worry about it. Listen, if one day you want to tell me what's what, That's fine. I'm okay, your okay. It's all good''. It wasn't. Eli was exhilirated by what had happened, but this thing with Axel, it didn't change how he felt. With a warm smile, he listened to what else he had to say.

''Consider it deleted. But hey, I killed a vampire. And guess what, I'm cool with that. You don't have worry about anything, but this -''. Eli kissed him again. In this meaningful moment, it was soft and warm. It felt right. Maybe he will never be able to delete the night. The fear, the golden eyes of that vampire and that if things were different, he could be dead. But this, him and Axel. It was something he couldn't forget. He held Axel, being the studly shoulder for him to lean on. They might not exactly be exclusive, but he wasn not going anywhere. A hand wrapped around Axel's waist as he kissed him more. Perfect.

Looking at Eli, he smiled reassuringly. He knew that 'one day' wouldn't be too long from now, when he would need to explain everything to this young man. Especially if they were going to be friends, or even anything more, which a burning desire deep within his body ached for. He knew he couldn't hide anything...He wasn't even that close to Eli yet and he had already been thrown into the supernatural world, what gives? If they became closer with eachother, it would only become worse, putting Eli in harms way. He couldn't have that, could he? But looking at Eli's showing, he seemed to handle himself rather well, regardless of the fact that he got lucky. The thing Axel quickly learned is that luck is thin; it doesn't take long for that luck to wear down when you are constantly pushed passed your limits. He knew his luck was wearing down; he had to start relying on his own kind of luck from now on.

He continued looking at Eli with a slight sigh as the man mentioned that he was okay with killing a vampire. Sure, he had done mankind a favour by saving a future victim from a brutal death from one vampire, but it was a lot more complicated than that. He couldn't just be 'okay' with killing a vampire, especially since his whole world had been turned upside down. Before he could attempt to invoke some wisdom into this man, something he wasn't known for doing, the man pulled him in and kissed him, Axel's arms almost falling lifelessly as he savoured the moment. Nothing else mattered when they were together like this, and he wouldn't change a thing, even if he could.

As Eli and his own kiss was removed, he smiled as he looked up at the boy. "I don't know how you can be so strong to just take all of this in like its nothing...For me, its another story. You don't have to be apart of any of this, you have that choice. Things like this will just keep happening when I'm with you...I can't really go into too much depth at the moment, but lets just say regardless of knowing them or not, I'm high on their foodchain at the moment. Can't see that changing anytime soon, unless I get hit by a bus or something." He begun rubbing his hands on Eli's chest. "I don't want to burden you with this...I don't want you to get hurt at my expense. He cared for this man, it showed from his words. He hadn't felt this away about someone for a long time.

In a crazy little world where vampire's were bunnies and there world was not upside down, Eli and Axel would make the cutest couple. Right now, it was exactly what he wanted. For years, his teens and early twenties were filled with hookups and bootycalls, attempts to find the real thing but soon failing. Eli kind of nearly gave up on relationships all together, but now things were very different and hopefully for the best. He hadn't felt this way before, having this need for Axel. It couldn't be love, it was ten million years too soon for that, but it was potential. Potential that they could make something truely good out of what had happened in this night. Vampires or no vampires.

Axel's main concern was Eli. Obviously Axel was associated with the supernatural, and Eli was cool with that. But what if they came after him to get Axel? What if potentially being with Axel gets him dead? But he didn't care. He wasn't one to stand down for a person he cares about. He protects them, he does not leave them stranded. Sure, dumb luck saved there asses tonight. But now he knew, what the darkside of the world had to offer. Axel was worrying, and it was cute. A serious expression flew over Eli's face, his eyes warm as he looked into Axel's. ''Axel ...... I'm not affraid''. He wasn't. If being with Axel meant the unholy tried to make him lunch, they can try. He wasn't going to reject the idea that it could be dangerous. Axel was on his soft spot now, he couldn't just dismiss him. Axel rubbed his hands on Eli's chest, and Eli looked down at them and took them in his hands, still against his chest as he squeezed them inreassurance. ''I'm not affraid''. He smiled warmly at Eli, moving in one more time for a light kiss. He meant every syllable.

Parting, he then sighed. ''I guess we should go. Do you want me to drive you to your dorm?''. He wasn't letting him walk, or call a cab, or take a bus or anything that would leave him by himself. Eli had to get some anticeptic on his back soon, and possibly a different shirt. One that hadn't been ripped at perhaps. He just wanted to get Axel home safely, even though technically Eli was the newbe with all the supernatural stuff. So he stood, Axel's hands in his and looking into Axel's eyes.
