~Dominik's POV~

It's been a week since the demons body had been destroyed. But his existence still lives in in Julian's head. I will occasionally catch him yelling at Quincy and Lucifer to stop shouting so loud. He seems to be really happy and lets me touch him and play with him. He's become really attached to my stuffed animal, it's a bat. I let him carry it everywhere. In all honesty I think it's adorable.

Julian sat on the front room floor playing with 'batty'. I watched him from the kitchen as I cooked his dinner. "It's ready Julian." He quickly ran over and sat at the table as I sat his dinner in front of him. A bowl if soup and two cheese sandwiches.

"Thank you Dominik!" He started eating.

"Your welcome." I smiled at him and sat across from at the table. Watching him eat made my stomach rumble. I laughed and started to get up.

"If you ever get hungry you drink my blood..." Julian's quiet voice was well heard by me and made me freeze.

"What?"

He set his spoon down and looked at me. A serious calm written all over his face. "I said you could drink my blood..."

"Julian- that's a nice offer- but I don't"

"Just-keep it in mind..." He continued eating quietly as I went and got myself a bottle of blood. I never drank blood around Julian, I never wanted him to feel uncomfortable or scared of me if I did.

-after the awkwardness-

I was tucking Julian into bed when he reached up and pulled me down to lay next to him. "Stay here. Please."

I looked at him and saw the pleading in his eyes. I sighed. "Alright..." I got under the covers next to him. I wrapped my arms around him and he cuddled up to my chest. He clutched my shirt in his hands as he slowly fell asleep.

{bing. Bing. Bing. Bing.}

[run Julian. Times catching up.]

{run as fast as you can.}

[run...]

{run...}

[Run!]

{Run!}

[RUN!]

{RUN!}

My breaths came in pants as I forced my legs to move, I refused to look behind me. I could hear its claws digging through the dirt. It's strong legs propelling it closer and closer to me.

I dodge trees left and right. Willing myself to keep moving. I trip over a tree root. I start to scramble to get up, but a clawed hand diggs into my back and throws me backward.

I hit a hard floor. I wasn't in the forest anymore. I look up to see if I was still being chased by that monster, but instead I look up to see Carson, Michael, and Jamie in front if me down in my basement.

"Hello Julian." They all said in unison, and even started laughing together.

[tick. Tok. Tik. Tok. Tik. Tok. Tik. Tok.]

{bing. Bing. Bing. Bing.}

I look up at the huge, old grandfather clock in front of me. A hooded figure steps out from the clock and started laughing. It's laughter sounded raspy and worn. The person extended a hand to me.

"I caught up to you Julian. I am here to collect you."

I try to scream as the hooded figure grabbed me and forced me into a sack and threw me somewhere. I hear ocean waves. I can smell the salty air. I hear the gulls as they fly over head.

The last I remember was falling.

Right before...

I hit the ground...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Julian! Wake up!" Someone's shaking me roughly.

I sit up in a panic and pant for air. My hearts beating out if my chest, I was sweating and I felt tears falling from my eyes. "Dominik?" I looked at Dominik.

"Are you okay Julian? Are you hurt? Are you scared? What happened?"

I hugged him tightly. "I'm okay. I-just a scary dream..." His arms wrapped around me protectively.

"It's okay. I won't let anyone hurt you."

"I'm scared..."

"I'm here..."

I look up at him and he looked down at me. I don't know what made me do it but reached up and put my hands on his face. I closed my eyes and leaned in. My lips brushed against Dominik's hesitantly.

My heart thudded as I slowly deepened the kiss, Dominik was into it, he was kissing me back and everything. I felt his tongue slid along my lower lip, asking for entrance, I gladly gave it to him. But he suddenly pulled away from me looking me deep in the eyes.

"Julian. You shouldn't have done that..."

"I wanted to." I looked away sadly and struggled in his arms to get away.

He only held me tighter. "Julian. If you like me, than I have to say, I like you to..."

I looked back at him. "I do like you Dominik..."

He smiled brightly and kissed me again.

He pulled away all to soon. I pouted at him. "Sorry Julian. I want to go slow with you, I don't want to rush things."

"I've had sex before."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"Yes it was."

"Nooo... Maybe... Anyway. I finally got you used to people and get to see a smile on your face daily, I don't want to ruin your progress."

"Dominik." I sighed. "Trust me. This is okay."

"This isn't you Julian. Just be quiet and accept we are to take things slow."

"Fine." I buried my head in the crook of his neck.

"You know Julian. Your a weird pervert."

I smacked his chest. "No I'm not. Just had experience."

"Rape doesn't count."

"Not unless it's happened all your life."

"Lets stop talking about this..."

"Can I have a cookie?"

"That was fast... Um sure?"
