He didn't know he could feel so spent as it had been forever since he'd really spent all day like that. And he knew he'd never spent that much time with Damien before, but he was really glad he'd stayed in and just thoroughly enjoyed himself for once. When his arm was grabbed, he looked to see Damien give him this really cute look and couldn't help but chuckle slightly.

The cute look made him lay back down and snuggle up to Damien, thinking that he'd more than made up for his thoughtlessness the night before. Holding his lover close, Marcus ran a hand through his hair before stroking Damien's cheek lovingly. "Dinner will be here shortly love, let's try not to kill the human..." he didn't know how thirsty Damien was, but he was famished at this point and could really use some blood.

Much to Marcus's delight, a young girl had been sent their way. He hadn't wanted Damien to get jealous, so he didn't like having male pets around when he was. Telling the girl quietly to get in bed and relax, he brought her arm to his lips and bit her, drinking greedily.

He smiled once Marcus laid back down beside of him and enjoyed the attention he was receiving from the older male. He couldn't help but to smirked some at what Marcus said an wondered who his maker would bring over. Finally a young girl arrived and he couldn't help but to stare at her with hunger and it wasn't a sexual hunger either. The girl crawled in bed between the two men and relaxed.

Marcus took the first bite and he gripped her other arm and brought it to his lips and not her before drinking her hungrily. He was famished after the night they had and quite frankly it was hard not to just tear the girl to shreds. He held her down once she realized what was going on but her cries had fallen on deaf ears. He finally stopped after he had his fill and licked his bloodied lip.

"So what do you want to do now?" He asked and leaned over and kissed his maker, exchanging blood.

When Damien grabbed the other girl's arm and she started to scream, he had to work really hard not to seriously hurt her. He could feel her pulse weakening though and realized they'd both drank about as much as she could handle without getting ill, so he stopped as well when Damien pulled away. Bringing the girl's eyes to himself, Marcus made her forget what happened and sent her back to whoever had sent her in the first place.

Marcus couldn't help but kiss Damien back, enjoying the taste of blood. Though he didn't know exactly what to answer about the question as he really just wanted to snuggle up and sleep. "I just wanna lay here with you tonight and start thinking about heading home either tomorrow or the day after. What do you think?" He stroked Damien's face lovingly and kissed him gently. "We can't just stay in all the time either you know."

He wouldn't deny that he liked Marcus answer, he would just rather lay here in bed with his maker and snuggle. He smiled as he kissed Marcus neck, teasingly licking up the blood that was left by his lips and laid his head down in the crook of his makers neck. He sigh softly. Mmmm how about we do something tomorrow, like go out and sight see or something....I don't feel comfortable going to another party... He admitted softly.

He kissed back and smiled at the feeling of his maker stroking his cheek. Aww why not? He whined cutely and couldn't help but to straddle Marcus waist and looked down at his maker.

The older vampire really wasn't used to snuggling and wanting to spend all day in bed just relaxing. It was unusual for him to enjoy himself like this, without really wanting to do much other than stay in bed with someone else. And he really was enjoying himself. So much so that he didn't want to leave the bed even for sigh seeing the day after.

"We're not gonna go to more parties while we're here.. But what would you want to see around town that you haven't already seen?" He said with a slight chuckle and enjoyed the teasing. "Love, we'd be exhausted before long," he ran his hands up Damien's sides and chuckled at the male straddling him once again. "You need to stop being such a tease," he chuckled.

He knew that he had seen pretty much all on London and even the entire country of England, but he wanted to go sight seeing just because he would be with Marcus. Well I want to go sight seeing just because I know you'll be with me. He said with a cute smile.

He chuckled at what Marcus said. Why should I, I know you like it when I tease you.... He said and made small circles on the mans chest before giving him a kiss on the cheek and laid his head down on his shoulder.

Marcus supposed he could always take Damien to his favorite places in town if the goal was to spend time together. Though he wasn't used to flaunting his affections like he had the night before. He wasn't particularly fond of it either, but he did as best he could to keep Damien happy because the last thing he wanted right now was to push his lover away.

"Of course we can go see stuff," he chuckled and ran a hand up Damien's abdomen before he wrapped his arms around the younger vampire once Damien rested his head on Marcus' shoulder. "Oh believe me, there are few things I enjoy more than your teasing, but I'm afraid I might break you one day if you don't tone it down a bit." Marcus was all smiles though as Damien really did make his life a lot easier.

With Damien, he was living rather than just enduring like he did mostly when he was alone. Ugh, he didn't want to think about that right now. "Well, if we're gonna go see the city tomorrow before heading back home, we better get some rest," he chuckled and made sure the covers were pulled up over both of them.

He smiled some at Marcus words, but deep down he wondered if Marcus really enjoyed spending time with him, or was he just playing along to keep him happy and to feel the void of loneliness? He wondered if he should even ask or dwell on the matter?

He closed his eyes once the covers were over them and he was content with staying on top of Marcus and actually fell asleep like that. His subconscious however was wide awake. Damien didn't really remember to much of his past as a human....he didn't understand why he could just forget the way he did but this dream; A young child with dark, curly hair with striking blue eyes was watching a woman being beheaded by a group of men wearing armor....they were burning own a village and killing everyone. Suddenly, a beautiful woman who bear a scary resemblance to him carried him off, running into the woods as the screams of those left behind were being slaughtered.

Damien practically jumped off Marcus, slamming into the dresser and almost tipping it over. He screamed and fell to his knees, yanking at his hair and had his eyes close. He didn't even know vampires could sweat, but beads of salty perspiration practically flooded out from his now active pores. His breathing was harsh and he even wheezed, choking back sobs that threatened to spill from the debts of his throat.

Sleep eluded him for a while and he just laid there rather relaxed, listening to Damien breathe. When he finally drifted off, he didn't get to dream or sleep much before he was woken up by a loud noise and noticing Damien was gone. What on earth had happened? That's when he noticed Damien balled up by the dresser.

Before he even knew what he doing, Marcus was pulling Damien close, stroking his hair as to comfort him. "Shhh, it's ok love. It was just a dream," he wasn't too good at the soothing bit, but he did his best. The last thing he wanted was for Damien to be so panicked as he couldn't stand to see his fledgeling in that condition. "Come here," he murmured and lifted Damien completely into his lap and continued to stroke his hair and hold him tight.

"Wanna talk about it?" he whispered and lifted Damien's chin so he could place a chaste kiss on his forehead.

Damien didn't understand what the dream was about....who was in it....or what was going on....but for some reason it filled his cold heart with dread and a sadness he had never felt. He barely recognized Marcus arms around him, trying to comfort him.

He felt himself being lifted him, hiding is face in his hands and was trying to control his hysterical sobbing. He had never had a dream like that before....he didn't understand why this was happening and why he was having all this feelings just suddenly rushed back into him.

He merely hide his face in Marcus neck, feeling tears run down his face and he gripped the mans arms. His chin was suddenly lift up and he shook his head.

It really hurt him to see Damien like that and he didn't know what to do other than to hold him close and stroke his hair. He would do his best to try to comfort Damien, but it seemed he didn't want to talk about it so there was nothing he could do about it. Although he had to say, Damien currently looked a whole lot like the lost little boy he had been when they'd first met.

"Don't worry, love, you're safe," he murmured and continued to just hold his fledgeling close. Marcus was at loss for words and really wasn't used to dealing with situations like this. Normally, if a human panicked like this, he'd just use compulsion to take their mind off it, but that didn't work with Damien sadly so there was nothing else to do but try to comfort him.

Wiping away some tears with his thumb, Marcus smiled slightly. "It was just a dream Damien.."

Was it stupid for him to be acting like this? It was just a dream.....but it wasn't a dream that felt like it was just his imagination or something...no...this one felt like it had happened to him in the past. He didn't remember much of his human life and wondered if maybe this was something that had happened to him when he was human?

Marcus words brought him back from his mind and feelings, he just looked up at the man with this sadden expression. It wasn't just a dream........it felt like something that I experienced before. He whispered softly.

At Damien's words, Marcus smiled slightly. "You're safe now, that's what matters." It hadn't been easy to get Damien for himself when the boy was human, especially as his mother was very protective. It had taken a lot of convincing that the child would be safe and want for nothing before she'd finally caved. In return for her troubles, Marcus had made sure she was safe as well. Made sure she'd want for nothing and she'd still been allowed to see her son for a while until it was time to change the boy.

"Do you remember when we first met? You were a such a beautiful, scared little boy, and your mother was a tough woman. She really did want what was best for you," nuzzling Damien's hair, Marcus got up and picked up Damien as well. Laying him down on the bed again, Marcus snuggled up to him, holding him close. "You can't change the past love."

Sure, he knew his mother was killed when the castle was attacked, but he'd met her before then and they'd talked. It really was a shame that he hadn't been able to save her for Damien's sake, but he'd had to make a choice and so he'd chosen to save the boy.

The end.
