Chapter 33 - fate is what it seems-we're friends now but maybe we could be more

Callus was still thinking hard on how he greet his new friend- he has only ever had one friend

and he had fell in love with her- and now he was going to go through it all over again-

but it was different- he knew this man loved him- but he still is unsure of his feelings-

he's learning and he's willing to accept it-

but this new to him- it doesn't have to do with the fact that he's a man- just loving someone else and someone who truly loves him back

he knows that Llya's feelings for him were complex- she loved him- but it wasn't the same level as him and he realizes- it was dumb to think she loved Xavier he was just projecting- he doesn't know why it took so long for him to figure this out- he was so blindly in love with her and now that he's moved on he's able to realize it- and he will learn to love Xavier just as he does

when callus saw Xavier he was nervous

but he had to talk to him- but he wasn't sure how to act- and let his instincts kick in

he wrapped his arms around Xavier

Xavier hugged him back and noticed his tears

Xavier lifted his head up

"Callus? what's wrong?" He asked

"I'm- so sorry- I left like that- I was such an idiot" Callus replied in tears

"Hey- you're not idiot- I know you were scared-

but you don't have to be and we can take things slow- we started over- that's in the past now-" he replied

"Yeah- I know- I'm not scared anymore- I- want- to try it-" Callus replied wiping his tears

"try what?-" Xavier asked

"You know- letting you in - and trying it out- I'm still unsure of my feelings- but I still want to try-" he replied

"and you said you were straight-" Xavier replied

"You- know I was lying- I'm not sure what- I am- I loved Llya with all my heart but it was never- sexual- and then- when I met- you it- was-" he replied

"so you're admitting it?- and how can you be so shameless?" Xavier replied

"You're the shameless one- you were the one who shouted- out- that I did things to you and made you want more - you made it seem like I was some ex- and we had sex-" he replied

"I- didn't mean for it to sound that way I was just letting my feelings out- and I realize how dumb I was- f*ck- I barely know you- but I know we have a connection- and I couldn't stay away from you-" Xavier replied

"how can you even be more shameless?-but-

I understand what you are saying- I feel it too the connection- and I couldn't stay away from you either- and now I- don't want to lose you-" he replied

"I don't want to lose you either- I don't ever want to feel that pain I did- and I know you didn't die but it felt like it I was scared I would never see you again that you hated me-"

Xavier replied

he felt as if he had just been stabbed in the chest - those words hit him hard he felt that for Llya but he was scared of the same happening to Xavier too - he had lost Llya twice and he almost lost Xavier again even though he barely knew him back then- he still felt it- but now he had the man he wanted

he hugged him tight

Xavier hugged him back

"You're not alone anymore- I'm here and I always will be because I love you- but I don't expect you to return it back yet- I will wait for you" he replied

"Xavier- I know- and we are friends- now but maybe we could be more?" Callus replied

"are sure? please don't force yourself for me-" before he could finish his words Callus put a hand to his lip

"I'm not forcing anything- I made you this way and I need to take responsibility- I- want to try it " he replied

Callus put his hand down he looked at Xavier's neck- it still had his mark-

Callus couldn't help but blush when he saw it-

and he realizes the things he did were intimate- and he wants- to do it again someday- but maybe not when he's thirsty-

he was thirsty in both ways- he became redder

"You know- I was thirsty too- and you didn't give me enough-" Xavier replied

"Dammit Xavier how can you be so shameless?-" he replied

"You're fun to tease- Cal-" Xavier replied

"Cal?!-" he replied

"What do you not like it?- friends give eachother nicknames - and thought it was cute like you" Xavier

"cute?!- Dammit Zavi - so I didn't imagine it- you did call me cute-" he replied

"of course I did you are cute" Xavier replied

"call me cute one more time and I'll skin you alive" he replied

"alright- sorry Cal - you're handsome" Xavier replied

Callus turned a even brighter red-

first he says- he thirsty- then he calls me Cal-

and called me cute again- and now he called me handsome- f*ck I can't breathe- I might die from embarrassment-

"would you two stop flirting already?" Llya replied

the both of them separated when they heard her and turned around

"we weren't-" Callus started to say

"we were" Xavier replied shamelessly

Llya just rolled her eyes

"come on boys it's time to get to class" she replied

and so the two of them went to class

"Wait we have the same class-" Callus replied

"Yeah you went to everyone I did like a stalker- and you still believed you liked Llya" Xavier replied

"I did like Llya" Callus replied

"I know-but you- like me now" Xavier replied

"did I say that?" He replied

"You thought it" Xavier replied

"Hey don't read my mind it's not cool" he replied

"I can't help it but I'll try" Xavier replied

Llya who was watching pushed the two into class

"I told you boys to stop flirting- and why is my name in it when you two flirt?" she replied

"because he used to like you" Xavier replied

"hey!-" Callus replied

"What it's true and she already knew - she remembers everything-" Xavier replied

"Hey! You weren't supposed to tell him that!" she replied

"I figured as much- and you can read her mind too?" He asked

"No she told me everything-" Xavier replied

"Well I knew he would be your future husband so I trusted him" she replied

"husband?!" Callus replied

"so- that's what you ment- so you can see the future?-" He asked

"No- I can not but I can see what's in someone's heart- and you have eachother- and that's how I know how things will turn out-"

she replied

"Lyla how long have you had that gift?" Xavier asked

"I've always had it-" she replied

"so I have two people who can tell when I'm lying-" he replied

"that's why I died faster if you didn't lie I would have lived" she replied

"I lied?" He asked

"there was someone else in your heart- but you still couldn't admit it- that very person is the one you're with now-" she replied

"but I barely knew him how could he?-" he replied

"he was- the two of you connected that night-" she replied

"I- don't get it we didn't even f*ck- I just bit his neck and licked him-" He replied

"You gave him a hickey two?!- what the heck is wrong with you Cal?!" she shouted

"Hey calm down-and don't call me Cal-" he replied

"why not I'm your friend too" she replied

"Yeah but I don't love you anymore-" he replied

"so you love him?" she replied

"Hey! It's too soon to use that word- I'm still unsure- but I do like him I think- just not love yet-" he replied

"What do you like about him then?" she asked

"I like how honest he be and how caring and his shamelessness -" he replied

"You two are perfect for eachother-" she replied

"You really think so?" He replied

"I know so- future husband-" she replied

"don't say it like that it makes it sound like we are still together" he replied

"he's your future husband better?" she replied

"how is it- you both have cool abilities and I don't?" He replied

"maybe you do you just don't know what it is yet" she replied

"maybe-" he replied

"Ok ok- your husband has already gone in I took up your time -now go go" she replied

with that he walked in and sat down next to him-

"hello husband-" he replied

"we- skipped to that already?- you can't even say I love you-" Xavier replied

"well- um- it's just Llya called you that -"

he replied

"I know I was there and I was just teasing you- my little cal" Callus replied

"Zavi" he couldn't finish his sentence- he was too embarrassed- and everyone has been watching them- he stays quiet as the class starts-

and once it's over they talked again

"You know- I know that you can't help it- but you're confusing me-" Xavier replied

"Well you're the one confusing me-and your teasing and flirting- isn't helping-" he replied

"but doesn't it make you like me more?" Xavier replied

"maybe- but I still don't know you that well-"he replied

"but you have a basic idea of me- and you don't have to know everything about me - I know nothing about myself-" he replied

"You don't know anything about yourself?"

Callus asked

"Well not really- I know I was a sick kid and that's how I ended up in the ward- and because of the blood loss- I don't remember much before I was turned- I could only remember you-" he replied

"I think that's my fault- I didn't stop- and because of that you loss your memories-

I'm really sorry" Callus replied

"Hey don't be if you didn't take my blood I wouldn't be here today and I would have never met you- you saved my life do you know that?"

he replied

"I saved your life?" Callus asked

"Yeah I was really going to die- I was scared but I couldn't do anything as I was losing consciousness- and then you bit neck and I woke up- and then you licked me- I mean I liked it alot but why did you do it?" he replied

"I- I-just read my mind I can't say it" Callus replied

Your blood was delicious-

"Oh- so you really did like my blood-" he replied

"why do think it was so hard to stop?" Callus replied

"there wasn't any other reason?" he asked

Callus was bright red again

"Oh-wow- you should have told me" he replied

"stop reading my mind you pervert" Callus replied

"You're the pervert thinking those things" he replied

"hey!- It's your fault" Callus replied

"You're the one who licked me-" he replied

"can you stop reminding me?" Callus replied

"why? It's not like you'll do it again" he replied

"I might if you don't shut up" Callus replied

"lick me then" he replied

Callus leaned in and licked his chest

Xavier's eyes widen in surprise

as Callus wiggled his tongue

Xavier moaned-

Callus moved his tongue up and licked his nipples

Xavier let out another moan-

he traced over his collar bone

Xavier moaned once more

he licked his mark and then he stopped

"Ah- f*ck Callus I really liked that-" he replied

Callus turned bright red-

he had done it again - what was wrong with him?! - but he couldn't help it- his teasing was just too much-

"Hey no need to be ashamed- if you like doing this to me I don't mind - and I think it's called friends with benefits?"- he replied

"um- what is that?" Callus asked

"it's what we are friends with benefits- it just means we can do- things to eachother - with no consequences " he replied

"I- does- that mean you would do the same to me?" Callus asked

"only if that's what you want Cal" Xavier replied

"I- give me a sec-" he replied

"alright" Xavier replied and backed up

Callus was in full panic mode -

I- am turned on help me someone please save me from this embarrassing moment

"You know I could help" Xavier replied

"No-I'm not letting you do that" Callus replied

"Ok- so what do we do then?" Xavier asked

"forget this happened?" Callus asked

"ha No- I'm never forgetting this-" he replied

" I don't remember this at all - but you doing that to me sounds hot-" [Real Xavier]

"Dammit Zavi you tease!" [Real Cal]

"Dammit- you never forget when it's me-" Callus replied

"I couldn't forget you babe" he replied

"Dammit Zavi- don't call me that" Callus replied

"should I call you daddy then?" he replied

"I will smack you if you dare" Callus replied

"so just Cal then?" he replied

"Yeah-" Callus replied

"if you call me husband then can I call you wife?" he replied

"NO- I REFUSE- YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CALL ME THAT" Callus replied

"then Master?" He replied

"do you really want me to slap you?" Callus replied

"then I can't call you wifey?- it's not fair if you call me hubby-" he replied

"I'm not calling you that-" Callus replied

"but you will-" he replied

"stop it will you?- I've had enough of your teasing" Callus replied

"Well I can't help it Cal when you're so fun to tease" he replied

why did this guy like him?- even after he's done it twice?- he still couldn't understand him

but he liked him- he wants to say- love but he's still unsure- he likes being teased by him and he wanted to do more to his body-

but did he want the same? he wasn't sure- he liked doing it to him- but does he?

he never thought that way- he isn't comfortable with touch in the first place and the fact that he likes touching someone is new to him -

"so that's why you understand why I don't like it- you are the same way- but you're comfortable with my touch-" [Real Xavier]

"Yeah and I'm sure it's the same with you-" [Real Cal]

and he remembers the hug and how he held his head up - he felt safe- and he liked it-

but those other actions- he wasn't comfortable with that yet- and it wasn't right if he did those things to him- but didn't want it in return-

"I'm not going to force you I just want you to be comfortable with what you do- and I'm OK if you don't want the same- I won't force you"

he replied

"are you sure? what if I hurt you?" Callus asked

"You're not going to hurt me- you aren't like that" he replied

"but I hurt you before- I'm the reason you don't remember anything-" Callus replied

"is that true? did you cause my memory loss?" [Real Xavier asked]

"Not this time Zavi but I still feel responsible for it-" [real Callus replied]

"Hey it's not your fault ok? Cal I remember you and that's all that matters-"[ Real Zavi]

"I remember you- and that's what's important" he replied

"but I'm not- I'm not important- I- I'm worthless" Callus replied

"You're to me! don't say things like that-" he replied

"why do you care so much?- you don't even know me-" Callus replied

"I know everything about you- how you only lie when you're nervous- that for some reason I'm always on your mind and it drives you crazy-

how red your face gets when I tease you-

I know you like tasting my body- and you want more- and I know you're venerable side too

you apologize alot and put yourself down so others don't and you blame yourself for everything- even if you blame someone else first- I know you don't feel comfortable around others - and are most comfortable with me-" he replied wrapping his arms around him and hugging him tight [the real Xavier did the same]

Callus hugged him back sobbing

Xavier petted his hair stroking it -

Callus isn't used to this sort of affection but he likes it- and he doesn't want to let go

he loved Llya but he could never do this with her- even kissing was hard- the most he could handle was holding hands- he couldn't hug her- he loved her but it was hard- he didn't understand why he couldn't do it- but he feels more at ease with Xavier and he- wasn't sure-

but when he knew he wasn't comfortable

he didn't understand- did he not love her?

no he did- but it wasn't the same as he felt now- he likes that this man cares about him-

but he is unsure how to return it-

[he doesn't want to lose him- he so scared of losing the person closest to him-

again- and he- caused his pain it's his fault that he ended up this way- he doesn't remember much- and that concerns him- he knows he won't forget him- but he wants him to remember who he was but at the same time he's scared that if he does he will forget him-[this was still true and Callus's current thoughts]

Xavier lifts his head up and wipes his tears

"I will never forget you- I know you are worried about me but there's nothing wrong with me-" he replied

"but you don't remember-" Callus replied

"and I don't need to all I need to remember is you- you are the most important thing to me- and I don't want to lose you" he replied

"You are important to me too- and I don't want to lose you either- I'm so scared- I'll lose you-

just like I lost her- and I almost did- " Callus replied

"You're not going to lose me I'll always be by yourside - and we're vampires remember?" he replied

"there's plenty of ways you could still die-" Callus replied

"stop thinking of the worse you are good- so good- both literally and and as a person-now I didn't have a life- what ever it was-

I stay in a bed and unable to move- I was completely paralyzed- but thanks you I was able to feel and move again-" he replied

"Xavier- you have made my life bright- before and I never want- you to leave me- alone- I don't understand why you are so good to me when I have made your life worse-" Callus replied

I was paralyzed?" [real Zavi]

"ha- Zavi- you weren't paralyzed but you thought you were so your body reacted that way- you'll learn the reason you did that to yourself later" [Real Callus ]

"is that true?- I really saved you?" Callus asked

"Yes- like I said before I would be dead- if it weren't for you-" he replied

"but what if I had killed you? because- that was my original plan- I didn't care- I was hungry- thirsty-" Callus replied

"you really wanted to kill me?" he replied

"Yes- I didn't care- I had hoped you were dead-

but- now everything is different- this why they say don't play with your food- because it will become to like you-" Callus replied

"I had hoped that it wasn't true- but I was wrong at the time I was right- you really did think of me as food- but do you still think of me that way?" He replied

"No You are more than that you are also my everything

my new house and I couldn't live without you" he replied

"Cal- I'm am this close to wanting to murder you-" Xavier replied

"but you won't- you care too much" he replied

"Yeah your right-I love you-" Xavier replied

"I'm glad- I love you too" he replied

"did you just say the l word cal?"

"maybe-" Callus replied

"come on just admit it cal-" he replied

"I-fine- I- deeply care about you-" Callus replied

"So you're not going to say it again?" he replied

"No-" Callus replied

Xavier gave him a peck on the cheek

Callus turned bright red- but he didn't dislike it-

could they become more than just friends?

"I'm pretty sure we just did- and Cal?-" Xavier replied

"Yeah Zavi?-" He replied

"can I- kiss you?" Xavier asked

"um- Zavi you sure? you can't exactly see my face-" he replied

"I know but I can feel it- and you can guide me to your lips-" Xavier replied

Callus knew he couldn't see it but he smirked at that remark

"Dammit Zavi you're so adorable- come mere-"

so Xavier leaned in reaching up and Callus grabbed his face and brought it to his

his lips fit perfectly over his
