Along the Great Divide

Chapter 11: Papa and Pappi (part 2)


The next morning, Ludwig rose stiffly from bed, his raven hair tossed and sex-mussed. Mamoru lay beside him, his arms open and his lean, pale body exposed to the morning air of the castle. Reaching over, he pulled the blankets up a little further to cover him up before sliding out of bed. Cautiously, he headed towards the window, prying open the curtains slightly and slowly widening it so the light now danced along his skin.

No burning, no flames that turned him into ashes or boils that threatened to burst. A perfect day! Looking over, he smiled to his lover who had retreated under the covers, away from the light. "Wiiiggy…liiigght…"Mamoru moaned, the little ball under the covers twitching.

"Sorry love…"Ludwig said as he slowly closed the curtains again. Slinking quietly over to the bed, he slipped under the covers, wrapping his arms around Mamoru.

"COLD!"Mamoru yipped sitting up slightly and pushing away.

"Aww, but I thought I was a nice comfy cold pillow?"Ludwig teased, holding onto the mage tightly.

"Not after I was nice warm and toasty! Eek, Wiggy your freezing!"Mamoru squealed when Ludwig pressed his cold lips onto Mamoru's neck, 'whipped' enough to know that if he bit him there, there would be a consequence later. Chuckling darkly, Ludwig let Mamoru go, letting him bundle himself up in the blankets again.

"Good Morning, Mamo."Ludwig said with a soft whisper, kissing the top of his head and rolling out of bed again. "When you're ready to get up out of bed…I'll be in the bath."

The head under the blankets nodded, Mamoru peeking out from underneath the blanket. Ludwig smiled, waving a little and headed towards the bathroom where he set out to make a hot bath. Letting the tub fill by pulling on a small chain that opened up the water flow, Ludwig stripped down to the 'underpants'.

Stupid annoying cock-blocking…well, Mamo wanted him to wear them so he put up with it but just sliding those things down his legs and kicking them off to the side, he felt a little bit of pride in standing there stark naked. When the bath was full, he poured a couple of perfumed oils into the tub, slipping in and settling down to his chin. "Mmm…"He purred, closing his eyes and settling there. His ear flicked when he heard the bathroom door creak open, a few pads of light footsteps and someone step into the tub. Figuring it was Mamoru, he didn't bother to observe but just listen to what he was going to do.

Then he was hit in the face with water. Opening his eyes, he leapt out of his cold dead skin to see Rhoma in the tub with him, smiling with his hands in an odd position, water crawling up his arm to form a balloon of water. "Hello Ludwig."Rhoma said with a chipper smile.

Ludwig's eyes just narrowed. "You know Mamoru's going to be pissed off to find you in here. Naked. With me."He said flatly. Rhoma's antics were starting to annoy him slightly though he knew that the boy was probably just starving for attention despite Anri's very thorough loving.

Rhoma just grinned. "So? I'm sure he'll be asleep for a little while longer."He chuckled. "Besides, I wanted to talk to you too. Mamoru may be my 'big brother' but you are still my 'brother in law' technically."

"That doesn't mean you should be taking a bath with me."Ludwig said, his eyes narrowed though there was a question that had been bugging him for a while now. "But…I guess if you leave the same way you got in…I'll let it slide. You have to answer me one question first."

"Anything."Rhoma said with a smile.

"Theron, you say is your father…Were you born from Hezekiah and Theron? Pappi and Papa?"Ludwig asked.

Rhoma's smile fell, the mages violet eyes sliding down to the bathwater. Letting his hand fall, he shook his head. "Theron…is my mother and my father. He gave birth to me …but I wasn't born from Hezekiah's seed. The Lords created a partial being which only the carrier could provide the other half. The purpose of the 9th Lord is a very specific and brief one…He was only meant to harness the power of the 9 elements we all represent but the knowledge would also pass onto the being during conception…And he had to be a being who could be ambiguous…someone who could remain themselves but still be able to have a child, a woman's feature."Rhoma explained, leaning back so he was against the bathtub's wall. The young lord had a forlorn look about his face as he continued onward.

"They performed the ceremony long before I was born to prepare for the arrival…but from what I was told, my father wanted to have Hezekiah's child so much that he was devastated when an advisor told him some of the consequences if he did. So he let him go. Didn't talk to him for a long time either…It was probably three months after Hezekiah's first child was born that Theron became impregnated. He didn't tell anyone until one day the King saw him undressing from his robes and saw his stomach…though he was kind about it. When I was born, they raised me along with Hezekiah's growing family so I had many brothers and sisters. I wasn't alone but then as I got older and they got much older…I felt more alone."He sighed, leaning his head back. Bringing his hand up, he brought his fingers to touch the metal band around his head that also kept his hair back, fingering the amethyst gem on the side of it. "Then…I lost the both of them just a few days shy of each other. I lost the two people that were my family…my fathers. They told me a lot about you and it gave me some hope that I would see you two."

"And you did, eventually. I can tell you're thrilled to see us."Ludwig said with a chuckle. Rhoma lifted his head and tilted it a little.

"You both came at a low point."Rhoma said darkly. "The day you two came, I had just wanted to end it all. All the training, all the treatment, the spells, the expectations…the loneliness. I leapt off of the balcony, hit the rocks below and somehow ended up on that little beach near the castle. Now it's just a cruel reminder of the Magery…A mage can't even die right, let alone a Lord, let alone someone who was supposed to be the prodigy of Reyah's child."

"Rhoma, you can't keep thinking you're alone like that. I've felt the same. I lost Mamoru and my family all in one day…"Ludwig said with a frown. "I tried suicide. I died and was resurrected into this. I tried suicide again and again but every time I would heal over. In my head, I felt like someone was watching over me the entire time, saying that it wasn't time or that I should wait. In my dreams, I saw Mamoru appearing in my head over and over…feeling as if he was trying so hard to get to where I was that I knew I needed to wait."

"What if he never came?"Rhoma questioned.

"Then I would still wait."

"What if he died?"The mage pressed.

"Then I would eventually die. We're soul mates, beings meant to be together. If Mamoru ever died…I would feel it…then I would know that my time will have ended."Ludwig said with a sad smile.

"Is that what that mark on your neck is? Father spoke of it often and spoke of his own soul mate Ace quite a bit as well. I met him a few times…He was like an Uncle almost."Rhoma said with a soft smile, coming out of the dark mood.

"This mark?"Ludwig said, bringing his hand up to his neck. He never really talked about it much but running his fingers along the heart and dagger mark on his neck, he was reminded. "I got it when I was probably only a few years physically younger than you are now. In Suna, I think. It's one of my more precious memories that I managed to hold onto…Mamoru was the most beautiful thing I ever saw after we found each other. The light of the moon in the desert gave him a halo…His eyes were much bigger then…Though, he had his mark before I did. Yuri explained to us before that when an Albinjian takes their first lover, they have a mark appear on their chest. When we found each other as soul mates, I took on that symbol."

"Oh…I don't have anything like that."Rhoma said with a tilt of his head again. "Pappi had a spade on his back…but…For some reason, I haven't found mine yet…Like, I'm not supposed to until it's the right time."

"It'll happen one day. It'll take a while…"Ludwig said, reaching up and patting Rhoma's knee. A sniff broke their attention from each other, both of their heads turning to the doorway. Mamoru stood there, tears running down his face in rivers. Bringing his hands to rub them away, they were only replaced with more. Ludwig stood, Rhoma casting a look which made him sit down again, grabbing a towel before standing again.

"Mamoru, what's wrong?"Ludwig inquired, getting out of the bath and bringing his hands to wipe away the tears that spilled away. Mamoru sniffed, wrapping his arms around Ludwig and sobbing.

"I *sniff* never knew that you tried *sniff* to kill yourself. Both of you."Mamoru sobbed, Rhoma flushing and looking away from the two of them. The mage didn't really like exposing himself to people about some of the painful truths of living. Mamoru looked to him, waving him over. Rhoma hesitated, getting out of the tub and joining them outside of it.

Mamoru held onto the two of them, sobbing as they both petted his hair and whispered things to him softly. It just reminded the both of them that they probably needed to close the door next time something at this level happened. Ludwig hugged and rocked him, walking all of them into the bedroom where they sat down.

"Mamoru…It's alright. We're both here, fine and happy now. Right Rho?"Ludwig cooed, looking to their younger sibling.

"It's not that…but…you both lived it really hard…I never knew…I can scry and everything but I was blind to it…I'm sorry…"Mamoru said, furrowing his eyebrows.

Ludwig and Rhoma looked to each other, sighing and shaking their heads. The Vampire lifted the pale mage onto his lap, holding him tightly while their younger sibling went to go redress to leave. The lord left and the two of them were left along, Mamoru sobbing softly into his chest.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

There had been so much calamity going on that when everything quieted down, down the hall there had been a cry that echoed down the corridors. Ludwig ran down the halls, pushing past the guards and maids that went to restore order about the castle. Skidding to a halt, he fell to his knees.

"No…"He breathed, seeing the pool of blood.

"Come on! Theron you have to wake up! Heal yourself, please…You can't die…"Hezekiah begged, lifting up Theron's limp body onto his lap, shaking him. Theron stirred, his eyes slipping open.

"Heze…kith…Lud..wig…Where's…"Theron breathed, wincing and trying to look around. Hezekiah put his hand on the side of his head, making him settle down.

"I don't' know, we'll find him."Hezekiah said softly, his teal eyes worried and looking all over Theron's body. There was a horrible wound on his abdomen. Ludwig couldn't believe someone had actually gotten so close as to stab him in the first place.

"PAPPI!"A high pitched voice called, Mamoru running down the hall as fast as he could. He almost launched himself, Ludwig grabbing him and trying to settle him down long enough.

"Ludwig, Ludwig, how could have this have happened?"Mamoru sobbed, staring at Theron who reached a hand out and set it on Mamoru's leg.

"Mamo…Don't cry…I'll be alright."Theron said softly, using a little energy to run his leg a little before a shock of pain made him stop. "Hezekiah…I need…water…"

Hezekiah, with wide eyes, looked down at Theron, looking around. His head turned to look behind him, his eyes falling on the palace garden wall that just peeked over the balcony behind them. Looking back down, he started to worm his arms underneath his body, lifting slowly.

The Lord mage let out a cry of pain when he was moved, breathing quickly. The blood dripped off of his clothing and ran down Hezekiah's body. "Come on boys."He said as calmly as he could. While everyone was running around it would be up to them to help. The King carried the mage down the steps, ignoring the insistence of help from servants and kept the boys on their toes until they made it down to the garden.

It was a painful scene to see Theron be lowered into the Palace Garden's pond, his body sinking while Hezekiah held him so he wouldn't float off. Mamoru sobbed into his shoulder, gripping his torn shirt.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When Ludwig woke, Mamo was lying on top of him, asleep. Blinking slowly, Ludwig looked around. It was still daylight and still quiet. Looking down, he rubbed Mamoru's shoulder, the mage stirring and looking up at him with red puffy eyes.

"There you are…You had another vision again…."Mamoru said softly, blinking and reaching a hand up to rub his eyes. "Which was it?"

The vampire was silent, wrapping his arms around the mage and sitting up. "Another bad one…I…really didn't want to talk about it."He said as he smoothed Mamoru's hair down. Sniffing a bit, he looked down to Mamoru's hair, pressing his nose to it for a moment, taking in the sweet scent of the bath oils from the bath he'd taken earlier.

"I must have been out for a while…You smell clean."Ludwig chuckled, Mamoru cracking a smile.

"Well…I couldn't let that hot bath go to waste."The mage admitted, laughing a little as Ludwig started sniffing him all over, rolling on top of him and sniffing all the way down to his toes. Mamoru lay on the bed, laughing and squirming as his nose brushed against ticklish areas, laying panting on the bed as Ludwig remained by his feet, massaging them gently.

"Mmm…That feels good…"Mamoru purred, laying there with his eyes closed. A knock on the door broke Ludwig's attention, Rhoma and Yuri stepping in.

"It looks like you two are feeling better…though I have to bear some bad news."Yuri said, waving a few maids in the room who were carrying two packs filled with food, clothes and some other equipment. "You've been found out."

"What?!"Mamoru jumped, Rhoma's eyebrows furrowing.

"We were just as surprised as you were when we found out, Mamoru. Apparently someone from within the castle has alerted the hunters of your presence here in Grayharte. They'll be here in less than a day. We've prepared some things for you to take with you so you can continue onward."Rhoma explained, looking down at his feet. "I can't believe someone would do such a thing…"

"Apparently her husband was killed by a Vampire…"Yuri added, shaking his head. "Such a pity. Gather yourself and we'll go down to the temple. When they search the castle, you can sneak through the caves."

"Thank you."Ludwig said with a grateful nod.

"Yeah well…If you guys don't come back and tell me more about Pappi and Papa, I'll come hunting you down myself."Rhoma said with a grumble. Why did someone have to go and ruin their happiness. Shaking his head, he left the room but felt a swift tug. Ludwig had pulled him into a hug and Mamoru stood behind him doing the same. They nuzzled his hair, giving him gentle squeezes.

"We'll be back…When things calm down and we're safe, they'll be a letter. I promise."Mamoru said softly.

"Rhoma…We want to stay…really but right now, my biggest fear is putting our little brother in danger. Putting our family in danger. Like Mamo said, we'll write when we're safe and Mamou's a mage. You can contact him whenever you like."Ludwig said, though Yuri was casting him a funny look. "What?"

"You don't know? Mamoru needs to complete his final exam in order to fully awaken his powers and receive his staff. Didn't you tell him that you needed to it Mamoru?"Yuri questioned the younger Albinjian who flushed and looked down.

"Mamo…You didn't finish?"Ludwig surprisingly asked his lover, the mage modestly shaking his head with a saddened face.

"I didn't want to disappoint you by letting you know now…I wanted to wait until I received my staff…"Mamoru ashamedly replied.

"Disappointed? I'm not disappointed. I'm just surprised that you actually lied to me for one."Ludwig said with the tilt of his head.

Rhoma looked over his shoulder, his eyebrows raised. Looking to his older mentor, he huffed. "Can't he take the exam somewhere else? When he finally finds a place to stay?"He asked.

"I suppose…"Yuri said, rubbing his chin. One of the maids coughed, bringing him back to the reality at hand. "Take your bags and follow us. We'll discuss it once your'e out of sight."

The brothers let Rhoma go and went to receive their bags, shouldering them then hurrying out of the room. Ludwig almost let a whimper slide from his throat when they left the comforts of a bed and safety behind to go down to the temple. The students were all in class, being minded over one of the older mages when they passed through, heading towards the back of the temple that lead deeper in the cliffs. They stopped at the closest room, a storage room, dropping their bags inside while everyone gathered.

"Right then. As I was saying, Mamoru does need to take the exam and show his proficiency in the elements that he's chosen to control. As much as I could say that doing it here would make it easier, I'm afraid time and situation aren't on your side."Yuri said, clearing his throat a little. He sat down on one of the boxes in the room, putting a hand to his chin. "However, I may have come up with a solution. More of an observation than anything, if Mamoru can show during your travels that you can proficiently use your powers, I will grant you your staff."

"Really?! That would be wonderful!"Mamoru said, relieved.

"That's great…"Ludwig said with the same form of relief. Rhoma, however, wasn't looking so sure. "You don't think he can do it?"

"It's not that…"Rhoma said, reaching his hand up to touch the metal headband that kept his hair back from his face. "I never had to do it."

"You can thank your father for that."Yuri said, pointing to the side of his own head, around where the gem in Rhoma's headband was. "He had that made for you so you didn't have to."

"Just what is it?"Mamoru questioned.

"It's Theron's old gauntlets. He had them melted down and reshaped for Rhoma when he passed away. It actually looks lovely."Yuri said, Rhoma flushing a little at the compliment.

"His…gauntlets?"Ludwig said lowly, reaching up and touching along the cold metal of the headband, smiling a little. "He's right. It suits you."

Rhoma grumbled, reddening and leaving the storage room. Ludwig and Mamoru chuckled though Yuri shook his head. "He's never been really used to compliments let alone family…I was hoping that would change just a little if you two stayed…"He said softly.

"Yuri…Tell us about Rhoma."Ludwig asked, Mamoru's eyebrows raising with interest as well. Yuri moved his hand away, looking over his shoulder and feeling around with his senses. Rhoma was gone. Looking back to the two, he nodded.

"Very well…Perhaps it would be best."Yuri said as he looked around a little more before settling down again. "He was born in the winter of Hezekiah's 27th Year and Theron's 35th. Grayharte was hit with a bad snow storm that froze the coast and caused some troubles within the castle keeping everyone warm. I believe your Pappi went into labor around the afternoon while on the way to the temple. Oh you should have seen the look on Hezekiah's face when he found out Theron had gone into labor." Yuri laughed, sighing fondly at the memory.

"What did Hezekiah do?"Mamoru asked, sitting down with Ludwig on the floor and snuggling up to the vampire as they listened.

"Well, it was quite a shock really. He was just getting out of a meeting with an armful of papers. He dropped them all and went running down the hall to the infirmary room since they couldn't carry Theron at the time to the birthing room up two flights of stairs. Ah but when he got there, it was the sweetest moment."The older mage sighed with a blush. "Theron was all flush with labor and Hezekiah was red in the cheeks from running. They stared at each other, Hezekiah staying with him until Rhoma popped out."

"Popped?"Ludwig said with a snark laugh. "I don't think a baby can just 'pop' out."

"Your right but don't ruin the warm fuzzies for me."Yuri huffed. "ANYWAY…It was like a little halo of warmth surrounded the room. Rhoma was a screamer, loudest baby I have ever heard. Though…It was so sweet to see Theron hold him with Hezekiah kissing the top of his head. Gosh, but I think when Rhoma opened his eyes, they were a beautiful bright blue I think…"

"Theron's eyes were violet like Wiggy's…How could they be blue?"Mamoru asked, looking up to the Vampire who darkened in the cheeks some.

"Puppies when they're born have blue eyes, then they get darker and change colors…It's the same for Amestrian babies I guess."Ludwig answered, fluffing Mamoru's hair a little.

"Correct!"Yuri chimed. "Ah, but your fathers were so happy…Hezekiah brought in his first son to meet him too. It was from then on they became like brothers. Rhoma grew up beside him. Theron raised him as well as any father or mother would and Hezekiah was there as much as he could be with his own growing family. Hezekiah had two children with the women he chose but no more…I have no idea what the King was thinking but perhaps it may have been out of concern. Perhaps not."

"Really? I thought Hezekiah had a lot of children…It would have been exciting to have so many brothers and sisters."Mamoru said adoringly. He loved children, though right now they couldn't have any, he hoped to have at least one child in his life he could love and adore. So far, it was only their little kitten Ivory that was their baby.

"Well, Us two plus Rhoma and then his two kids, it's already a handful. That's five."Ludwig said raising just a hand. "I think…if I'm thinking' right, it maybe because he didn't have the time. I remember wanting to go down to that little beach just down by the castle to go swimming during the summer but Hezekiah was too busy."

"Well…Yes. Theron made it up to us and took us to the beach himself. Remember, he retired from being High Mage at Grayharte to focus on his Lordship?"Mamoru said with a smile. They had good fun that day and he learned a lot from his father and Mentor about water usage in spells.

"Really…"Ludwig said, his eyebrows furrowing.

Yuri smiled softly, tilting his head a little. Looking up, he heard a commotion, peeking out of the doorway. It was just two of the students getting into a scrape, Rhoma breaking it up easily by lifting them by the back of their robes. Sighing, he returned to the box and looked to the two.

"It's so nerve-wracking knowing they're so close…"Yuri said, fanning himself.

"Who's so close?"A low voice said softly, everyone nearly jumping out of their skin. Yuri looked around to see another one of the Lords standing behind him, his dark robes draped around him like a shapeless mass. Ludwig stared at the other mage, blanching.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"You little brat!"The figure hissed. Ludwig grappled with man who was trying to escape. He was strong, braking his hold and tossing him back down onto the ground, pinned by the neck.

Close-by was the corpse of a woman, completely drained of blood with her eyes wide with horror. Ludwig's eyes widened, looking to the man was he struggled to get him off. "You…mur…dered…her…"He gasped, the man squeezing his neck tighter.

"I didn't. She walked into death."The man answered, lowering his mouth to Ludwig's ear. "You on the other hand…I will murder…drain you of your blood and leave your body to rot."He hissed, moving his hand down but still managing to somehow pin Ludwig down at the same time. There was a sharp pain on his neck.

"GRRAAAAAHHHH!"Ludwig screamed, trying to get the man off. He thrashed, kicking him off and managing to get to his feet again. From behind, he was tackled hard into a wall, the wood breaking and sending them both tumbling into an alleyway. Fighting to get to his feet, he fell down again when he felt the stronger man grab his leg, something sharp in the man's mouth chomping down.

"GET OFF!"Ludwig said, shoving his other foot into the thing's face, smashing it in.

"That is it, brat!"The man growled as dragged Ludwig by the foot "If you don't want to sit still, I'll make you sit still."

There was a hard slam down on one of his limbs. It had took him a few seconds to register just what had happened. The man, with so much force, had broken his leg and now dragged him back into the building through the debris, tossing him next to the corpse of the woman. Ludwig screamed in pain, trashing and begging for him to let go.

"PLEASE! GODDESS it hurts!"Ludwig howled, the man standing over him now. He only got a good look at his mouth for a minute. The man had canine's longer than a rabid dog's, which now dripped with his blood. It got closer, those same fangs chomping down again on his neck.

He couldn't move. Couldn't scream. He felt the life drain from him, flashes of faces appearing in front of him. Mamoru, Hezekiah, Theron, Mamoru, Hezekiah, Mamoru, Mamoru, Mamoru…

"Ma…Mo..rue…"Ludwig gasped. The man stopped in his tracks, staring at the halfing while he licked his lips of blood.

"Your blood was by far the most pleasurable I have ever had, boy…I'm surprised you are still alive."He seethed, giving Ludwig a kick.

Out of some foreign strength that he had, Ludwig managed to grab the man's leg, dragging him down and biting down on to it in some last minute effort to save his life. He felt the blood from the other man swirl in his mouth, dribbling down his throat. Getting up, he pushed him down onto a piece of debris on the floor that jutted up to the ground. The piece pierced through the man underneath him, the look of shock shooting through his brain like bolts of lighting in the sky.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"NO! LUDWIG YOU'LL KILL HIM!"Mamoru screamed, trying to pry Ludwig off to the mage who had come in. As reality started to sink in, Ludwig removed his hands off of the mage who now gasped for air, rolling over and coughing. Slinking back, Ludwig felt himself being pulled away by Mamoru to the other side of the room.

"Wha…Wha…What did I do?"Ludwig said, sinking down to the floor. Mamoru held him, rocking him gently.

"Shh, shh, it's okay. He came into the room and you suddenly just got up and jumped at him…You snapped out of it just in time…"Mamoru said softly but he could see that the mage was trembling horribly. Was he scared of him? Nervous? He may very well have been and every right to be.

Ludwig reached up, grabbing Mamoru's and forcing him away.

"Ludwig…?"Mamoru said, looking at him worriedly.

"Are you afraid…?"Ludwig asked, not looking at him directly. He raised his head, looking up at the mage in his hands.

"Ludwig…Wiggy…"Mamoru said, bringing his hands up but Ludwig pushed them back down.

"ARE YOU?!"Ludwig shouted, looking horribly hurt.

Mamoru fell quiet.

"Are you…"Ludwig asked again, his voice slipping to a whimper. "Are you afraid of me? I scare you…I could kill you…"

The entire temple had fallen dead silent. Not even the children made a noise as they listened in from the halls. Yuri helped Zepher up from the floor, watching the two lovers in silence. Mamoru raised his eyes, looking into Ludwig's that were flickering mix of fear, sadness and regret.

"I'm terrified…I'm so scared…That thing that attacked him was not you. It wasn't MY Wiggy…it was someone else. I'm scared shitless that you'll leave and leave me behind again. I don't want to leave your side, nor will I ever."Mamoru said softly, bringing his hands up and petting the sides of his face. Bringing his hands through the vampire's hair, he leaned down, kissing him. Running along his fangs, he pieced his tongue and let the blood pool in Ludwig's mouth.

The vampire moaned, gripping onto Mamoru and pulling him close, leaning down so the Albinjian's back was to the floor. His hips begged to thrust forward and take him all over the room. Yuri cleared his throat but Ludwig wouldn't let Mamoru speak, let alone breathe until he had everything.

"Very well you two. I'll be back in two hours."Yuri sighed, helping Zepher out of the room to get away from Ludwig. The Lord mage was terrified of the vampire but it would subside once he explained to him what happened.

"Ah, Oh Ludwig! It's okay…"Mamoru moaned, feeling Ludwig grind against him.

"Mamoru, Goddess you're amazing…"Ludwig breathed, moving to kiss along Mamoru's neck, sucking at the skin.

"Uhn!"Mamoru keened.

"I love you Mamoru…"The halfling moaned, pushing his fingers underneath the hem of the mage's pants, pulling them down so now Mamoru's ass was fresh to the air. Bringing the same hand up, he slid his fingers into Mamoru's mouth, the mage sucking on the finger as Ludwig ravaged as his robes, pulling the front apart so he could kiss, suckle and nibble along the pale skin. Running his tongue along Mamoru's shared mark, the pale body beneath him arched.

"Mm!"Mamoru mewled, Ludwig slipping his fingers out and moved him to the crevice of his cheeks, probing both fingers through. Mamo hissed, arching.

"Ah, Wiggy, it's too much!"Mamo keened, clenching against Ludwig's fingers.

"Sorry, just hold on…"Ludwig whispered softly. "We are in a rush…"

"I…I'll try…"Mamoru wavered, breathing and trying to relax. Ludwig managed to smile, moving his fingers in and out slowly, picking up his pace as Mamoru softened. The mage panted heavily and pushed down against Ludwig's fingers, his moans increasing.

Sitting up, Mamoru held onto Ludwig's shoulders, lifting himself off of the fingers and pushing the vampire gently to the floor. Slinking down, he undid Ludwig's pants and slid the hard member from the opening.

"What happened to your underwear?"Mamoru teased, bringing his mouth over the head, closing his lips around it. Ludwig bit his lip, a fang almost cutely peeking over his lip.

"Mmmm, honestly didn't like them…."Ludwig purred, his hips pumping up slightly toward the hot mouth. Mamoru lowered his mouth down slowly, flicking his tongue along the shaft as he went slower. Moving his head up and down, Mamoru thrummed as he heard the vampire's moans, the raven head of hair flying back.

"Ahhh…Mamo…Nnn!"He moaned, reaching a hand to Mamoru's hair and holding it as he pushed his hips up. The mage gagged a little, Ludwig letting up. The albinjian moved himself so he was on Ludwig's hips, adjusting so he was squatting and then lowering himself down on Ludwig's rock hard member, sliding down easily.

"Ma..Mamo…"Ludwig moaned, sitting up and holding the pale cheeks in his hands. Spreading them apart he helped him to lift and drop down easily. Mamoru keened, moaning and forcing his hips down to meet Ludwig's lap. It wasn't too long before the vampire had taken control himself, leaning him down on the floor and trusting deeply into him. Pale hands clung to him, pulling at his shirt and burying into his hair as the darker ones held onto him tenderly.

"Gl-G-Goddess! Oh LUDWIG!"Mamoru keened, his breathing increasing until he let out a long, high pitched keened as he came, the liquids pooling in his trousers and soaking the front. Ludwig came soon after, panting and kissing along Mamoru's neck. "Nnn…nnnn…"

"Are you alright?"Ludwig asked with a low whisper.

"N..Never better, Wiggy.."Mamoru mewled as he rode out the waves of his orgasm.

"Beautiful…"Ludwig said softly, kissing the mage's cheeks and lifting him off of his member gently, moving him with ease onto his lap. It wasn't long, with Mamoru's warmth and the coolness of Ludwig's body, the mage was fast asleep on his lap.
