Marcus really couldn't help but chuckle slightly at Damien's response to his revelation. He merely nodded slightly, laying down again so he could cuddle closer to Damien again. It was about time he realized the truth about it all, their relationship had been strange for so long. So many twists and turns, hating each other, spending what seemed like an eternity in bed together and going back to hating each other again.

"I guess it took losing you to realize the truth," he murmured and gladly returned the kiss. "It also helps to have a all these fresh minds constantly bombarding me with questions," he chuckled. Yes, the kids had definitely been a learning process to handle, but they'd kept him honest and made him realize just how much he'd missed Damien.

"Just do me one favor, tell your girl Amelita to move on? She won't stop blabbing about you first chance she gets, I think you broke her," he couldn't help but chuckle slightly. Yes, the girl made him jealous and he couldn't help but think maybe that had had something to do with his realization.

He smiled now and was happy that Marcus admitted to him that he loved him now. He looked up at Marcus with a questionable gaze at what he said about Amelita."Okay I didn't even think she would do that." He admitted. He sigh softly and rested his head on Marcus chest."Are we....a couple now?" He asked curiously.

He couldn't help but to run his hands over the others heat and couldn't believe that this was happening.

Marcus didn't quite know what to do about Amelita's obsession to be perfectly honest. He'd hoped she'd get over it after a while, but it had been over a month and she was still gushing whenever his name was mentioned. If all else failed though, he would have the witch he was bringing in take care of the problem, Antonette was quite skilled at making vampires do as she wanted if they had their guard down.

When asked if they were a couple now, Marcus smiled fondly at Damien. "I'd like that, a lot actually. And I meant what I said earlier; if you ever doubt my intentions, don't be afraid to use your marvelous gifts, ok?" Kissing Damien again, he had to admit to himself that he hoped it would never come to that. He wanted Damien to be able to trust him, and if he constantly needed to read his mind to be able to do so it would never work. Not that he thought Damien would abuse his gifts like that for no good reason.

"I'm sorry I didn't realize sooner," he murmured and cuddled close to Damien, not wanting to get back to work any time soon.

He looked at Marcus with a small smile."I hope to not use my powers...." He said. He wanted to trust Marcus but at times it was hard considering all the man had done in the past. He sigh softly and just laid his head on the others chest, eyes closed. A desk wasnt the most greatest spot in the world, but it was a pro to being immortal and not feeling the uncomfortableness that came with bring human.

"It's fine.........at least you did realize right?" He said and smiled before sitting up."We should get back to work." He added softly.

It was good that they both agreed that it would be best if Damien didn't need to use his powers on Marcus. Even if he knew that there were times when he would want to protect Damien from the world, he had to let go of his impulsive acting. Damien was more than capable of taking care of himself, so it was time he let him. Time to let go of everything he'd tried to protect Damien from.

"I suppose you're right, but on the bright side, your boss isn't going to get mad at you if you don't," he chuckled. He wanted nothing more than to cancel the rest of his day and spend it with Damien, but he had to make sure that witch arrived safely to deal with their property dispute. "I'll pick you up after we're done for the day and take you out to eat, sounds good?" He said quietly and sat up himself. It was time to get dressed again though and he did so rather reluctantly.

Finally adding the cuff links on his shirt, he looked at Damien lovingly.

He chuckled some."Quite a scandal will cause." He added and pulled his pants back on, buttoning them back up and started to button up his shirt. He didn't want to leave and get back to work but he knew that he had to. He sigh softy and looked to his new boyfriend and smiled."sounds good." He said and gave Marcus a deep kiss before pulling on his jacket and left to go back to his office.

Course the other workers clearly heard them and gave Damien a weird look but he ignored them and headed back to his office. He took care of the business that already piled up and finally it was time to leave. He headed to Marcus office, finding the man there and smiled.

Marcus made good use of his time after Damien left. He called up his assistant again and had her give him his messages and made sure he got everything he needed to do for the day done before it was time to leave. He was about to get up and collect Damien to leave when his lover entered his office again. Marcus really hadn't left the office all day so it would be nice to leave.

Putting on his suit jacket, he closed his laptop, locked his desk drawers and smiled at Damien. "What are you in the mood for?" He asked as he walked over to his boyfriend. Man that word was unfamiliar to him, but in a good way. Kissing him chastely, he opened the door to go out and eat whomever or whatever Damien wanted. Who said he couldn't spoil the other still, even if their situation had changed?

Sorry, I have very little muse for Marcus atm =/

He kissed him back with smile."Mmmm we could just go home and feed on some pets." He said and couldn't believe that this was happening. Him and Marcus were a couple now. He knew the the others in the vampire world were going to be stunned."You know that alot of the aristocratic vampires and elders are going to be stunned about this." He said and grabbed his suitcase before walking to the parking deck with Marcus.

He wondered how Arya was going to take this considering in the past the two always seem to fight over Marcus affections. Now Marcus affections were all his.

Occ: lol it's fine sorry mines so short.

Marcus really liked the idea of going home and just feeding on the pets, it made staying in bed with Damien for the rest of the night so much easier. No need to travel places when they had it perfectly fine at home. Besides, it was an excuse not to have to deal with Arya just yet as well, as he had no idea how to make things right with her after first dumping a bunch of newborns in her lap and now about to tell her they would have to make new arrangements for her instinctual need for pain.

"I think they'll be more envious actually. They've tried to get me to trade you for centuries, but I've always refused them," he chuckled slightly. It was true that a lot of people had wanted Damien for themselves, which was also why the kidnapping had taken place to begin with. Actually going from treating Damien as a pet, they were now forced to treat him as more of an equal since that was what he clearly was to Marcus now.

"Just stay clear of Arya until I've talked to her? She is very moody these days and I don't want her lashing out at you," he chuckled. They would drive separately to Damien's he supposed as they'd arrived in separate cars.

Hearing that the other elders have tried to get their hands on him only made him dislike them even more. He did smile though and give Marcus cheek a kiss."I'm glad that you didnt." He said."What if one f them tries something now since me and you are actually together know.....you know how those elders are..." He said. It wouldn't surprise him if they still tried to bed him even though he was with Marcus now as a couple.

He nodded."I won't.....if she does then me and her might get into it." He admitted.

Marcus shook his head at the scenario Damien proposed. "They won't." Looking at Damien, he smiled slightly, almost appearing shy for a moment which was very uncharacteristic of him. "Most of those elders aren't more than a few years older than Arya, which is why they took her in so easily. I make a habit of never revealing my age to other vampires, but if they even look at you crookedly, they'll learn the truth," he chuckled slightly. Actually, Arya was the only one who knew how old he truly was, except for the vampire that made him and his own siblings, but he hadn't heard from any of them in over two thousand years. He knew for a fact that his maker wasn't around anymore as he'd witnessed her death, his siblings he just had a vague idea of.

"I'm afraid I've been lying to you love, I'm quite a lot older than I've let on." Not that they'd ever actually discussed how old Marcus was, but he'd always let on that he was just a few centuries older than Arya, which in a way was true, if a few meant approximately ten or eleven. Whenever he'd been with the other 'elders', back when they weren't calling themselves that. Back when they were an elite of society and didn't run around causing mayhem like a lot of newborns did. They formed secret societies, set a bunch of ground rules for vampiric societies and made it possible for the more sophisticated vampires to go by more or less unnoticed as well as to avoid the whole inquisition when the time came centuries later.

Naturally when Damien had been brought with him to a gathering, the boy was fresh meat, and very young so everyone wanted him for their own. They had long since divided Europe into territories amongst themselves at this point since it was clear that they were some of the oldest vampires now, at least that mingled more or less with society. While the others hadn't been convinced, Marcus knew there had to be even older vampires than himself hiding somewhere, not that it carried much weight when they didn't know the truth. He'd heard legends, mere whispers, of creatures who were almost like Gods, maybe they were what a lot of myths were based around.

What Damien said about Arya brought him out of his reverie and he merely shook his head. "You dumped Amelita on her, just like I've left Alec and Juliette mostly in her care during the day. She has every right to be angry with both of us. I have an idea for how to break the news to her though. Just need my witch to arrive first," he leaned in and placed a kiss on Damien's cheek. "I'll see you at your place?" he asked to confirm that that was where they were going as he unlocked the door to his car.

He honestly would hate to be the one to feel Marcus wrath. He already been punished by the man before and from what Marcus had told him, he was going easy on him. He did smile though and believed what Marcus had said about the elders and how they would act towards him. When Marcus said that he had been lieing about his age, he cocked an eyebrow at him and was going to ask what he meant by that but decided to maybe ask later on.

He almost felt bad for now dumping Amelita on his sister like that, but he didnt really know of want to raise a fledging. "True......" He said sofly and smiled.

"Yeah." He replied and unlocked his car."See you there." He said with a small smile before getting in and drove off to his house. Once he got there, he parked the car out front and unlocked it, knowing Marcus could just come on inside. He knew that they made love today, but he honestly couldn't get enough of Marcus and bite his lower lip. He ran to his room, taking his cloths off and decided to just wear some very short boxers and a black robe that he left open. His dark hair was a mess now and hung in his bright blue eyes.

He had called one of his pets down, a young boy who looked no older than 18. He told him to just go to his room and wait, which the boy did as he waited for Marcus in the living room.

Once in the car, he used the built-in speaker system for his phone and called Arya. It took a long time for the blonde to pick up and he was sure she wasn't going to pick it up when the phone was picked up, followed by a loud crash of breaking glass. "And stay out of my room or I'll lock you all up," she called after whoever had made her throw a vase to begin with. It took a lot to unravel Arya like that, but apparently the two girls managed that just fine. "What do you want Marcus, I'm really not in the mood for anymore of your surprises right now." Since the blonde wasn't afraid of what he'd do to punish her, she liked to push him to his limit when she was mad at him to begin with, just letting it all out on him rather than remaining quiet.

"I just wanted to let you know I called in the Necromancer. She'll take care of the newborns for a while so you can actually get some work done. She's en-route now, so expect her some time tonight or in the early morning. And sweetheart, take the girls outside or give them some challenging tasks and they'll be less annoying," he added that last part with a chuckle and just hung up when Arya started cursing at him for not just coming home and dealing with his strays himself. At least the witch should be able to get Arya back to her calm, spiteful self rather than this constantly infuriated monster.

When he arrived at Damien's, he parked his car and ventured inside, locking the door behind him. When he walked into the living room and saw his boyfriend practically undressed already, he dropped his jacket and gracefully used his speed to pick Damien up and bring him to the couch, kissing him deeply. He really did want to spend eternity in his lover's arms, not worrying about anything else.

Damien heard Marcus come in and bite his lower lip. Once the man saw him, he was immediately in the mans arms and was kissed deeply. He kissed back, running his tongue along his lovers lower lip to ask for entrance. He wrapped a slender leg around Marcus muscles waist to rub the man against him and moaned loudly.

His hands ran down Marcus front and down his sides before breaking the kiss and stroked Marcus cheek."Our dinner is in my bedroom....unless you rather eat me first?" He teased.

Marcus wasn't hard to ask when Damien ran his tongue along his lower lip like that. He granted the boy entrance without hesitation. He wanted to nothing more than to take Damien right then and there, because frankly he couldn't get enough of the boy. He loved everything about him and couldn't believe it had taken him that long to realize that it was love that he was feeling. Maybe it had something to do with it being a completely unfamiliar feeling for the man.

"Oh I'd rather eat you first, but I suppose that won't be quite as gratifying for the burning appetite you've worked up in me," he chuckled, nibbling gently on Damien's neck in a rather uncharacteristic and playful manner. "Who said I can't make love to you after a quick bite, believe me I'd love nothing more." He pressed himself against Damien as if to demonstrate his point.
