skyfall;

THE MONTHS HAVE PASSED SINCE DEVIL'S NIGHT, WHICH USED TO BE A FUN NIGHT AT SOME CLUB. Snow was now covering the streets, to the pleasure of Bleiz. Tail-wagging, he jumped around in the snow, snowflakes already covering his black fur.

"Bleiz, it's cold. Let us go inside!" Donovan pleaded, but had to smile, as he saw how happy the wolf was. His heart was about to explode, as Bleiz hovered down on his forepaws, ass in the air and wagging wild. What a cute puppy.

As an answer, Bleiz barked, running towards Donovan. "No, stop!" The vampire laughed, raising his hands in defense, just before Bleiz jumped on him. He pressed Donovan in the snow, licking across his face.

"Alright, alright. I love you too." He mused, wrapping his arms carefully around the warm body. How could Bleiz be so goddamn warm? Still, Donovan wondered about the inner heating-system this boy had, but he could not complain. He was even warmer than a blanket.
Bleiz hummed, licking again above his cheek, playfully poking him against his shoulder. His blue eyes were sparkling, holding the light of the thousand stars on the night sky. He snuggled closer against Donovan, feeling every inch of his gorgeous body.

A little smile appeared on Donovan's face, snugging closer against him. "You're a beautiful pup, do you know that?" Even if Bleiz was almost as big as a little horse, to him he was a sweet little puppy. His elegant fingers were stroking through the fur, feeling the warmth and softness. During the winter, it was even warmer than during other months.

Bleiz hopped off Donovan, shaking his massive body. But again, he jumped playfully around, wagging with his bushy tail. "I see, you want to play with me." Donovan winked amused, grabbing some snow to form it to a snowball. Bleiz barked, hopping around. 'Throw it! Throw it!' He barked, while he tensed his muscles. His eyes were focused on Donovan, watching every single muscle move.
With a laugh, the vampire finally threw the ball, causing Bleiz to chase after it. He was almost flying over the ground, as he tried to catch it. Of course, the ball was now melted again with the snow, yet the wolf decided to dig.

"You're crazy, Bleiz!" Again, Donovan had to laugh, running towards the black pup. He laughed quite often because of Bleiz. After all, he was his little star, his only light in this world. "We should really go inside. Even wolves can catch a cold." He didn't know if it was true, but even if just the slightest change existed, he didn't want to risk Bleiz' health.
Bleiz grumbled but licked the next moment above his hands. 'Alright. We should cuddle in the room, I'm a bit tired.' The wolf looked up to the vampire, tilting his head to the side, when Donovan kept himself in silence. Almost thoughtful, the handsome man looked at some point at the horizon.

"I've never felt like this during the winter times. Usually, I feel colder than else. The darkness, the cold weather. Always months of inner emptiness ... Now you're here, filling my dead heart with joy again." His voice was barely a whisper, looking back at Bleiz. "Sometimes I even imagine that my heart beats again. Never leave me, pup. I can't even last a day without you by my side." His eyes were watery, causing the wolf to whimper softly and walked towards Donovan.
He pressed his huge head against the hip of Donovan, closing his eyes. 'I would never leave you. You're my soulmate. My missing piece. I would never be whole again if I'll be without you.' He licked above his hand and closed his eyes, just to inhale his wonderful scent. eH

Donovan smiled, stroking again through his fur. "You're so sweet. I know these words by heart, yet you still manage to touch my heart with your sweet babyface and all these lovely words you give to me. Thank you so much, puppy. You know, I've never properly thanked you. For being the light in my cold life. Thank you so much." He barely whispered, pressing a light kiss on top of his head. Under his hands, he felt the fur slowly disappearing, instead the warm skin of his boyfriend was now all he could feel.

"Donovan. You don't have to thank me. I'm here for you, always. But you're also the missing piece in my life. Without you, I'm not complete." Bleiz smiled softly, before he stood up, ruffling through his hair.
"Wait, Bleiz!" The vampire hissed almost in panic and quickly gave him his coat and pants. He always wore an extra pair of pants around for cases like that. Not that it bothered Donovan to see his boyfriend naked. But the thought of other people seeing him naked bothered him. Protective, he wrapped his arm around his hip, pulling this little sweetheart closer.

Softly, the boy giggled. "You know that there is nobody around because it's in the middle of the night and it's snowing, right?" He laughed louder when Donovan just hummed as an answer. "There is no reason for you to get jealous. Nobody could ever compete with you."

"Yeah, but this Will Drake - asshole still tries to get in your pants." Donovan huffed, pulling him even closer. "He gives you always these looks like he wants you for Dinner. Not that I don't understand him. You're a very handsome babe, but his looks are so obvious, he's driving me mad." He snorted but pressed an affectionate kiss on top of his head.

A bit annoyed, Bleiz rolled with his eyes. There was this topic again. "Oh, come on, Donny. We're just friends, that's all. And just because he once said that my ass would look fine in one of his designed pants doesn't mean he wants to fuck me. I rather think that he wants to smash you." He chuckled softly and leaned against his strong body. "Also, you know damn sure that I'll never cheat on you. Never." He raised his eyebrow, looking up to him.
"I know, baby. It's just ... I couldn't trust anybody since Elizabeth has done all this shit to me. You're the complete opposite. So gentle, so kind. So, loving. I just don't want to lose you. I know how easily I can be repla- " Before Donovan could even finish, Bleiz pulled him hard on his arm, pressing him against a wall.

"You better shut up, right now! Stop saying this! You can't be replaced! Elizabeth did what she did because she is an egoistic bitch and I would love to rip her fucking throat out, but I don't because I know how important she still I for you! Now you better stop shit talking about yourself like that or no sex for a month!" Bleiz almost yelled at him, causing Donovan to flinch. Yet a soft smile appeared on the vampire's face, pulling him into a tight hug.
"You can be scary as hell when you're mad." He chuckled and stroked through his hair. "But you're right. I shouldn't do this. You always give me the feeling to be someone special and yet I'm an idiot and can't see it. I'm sorry, pup." Again, he kissed his head, wrapping his arms around his slim shoulders. "Let's go inside. I don't want you to catch a cold. No matter if you're warm or not, you still can get sick." He has pulled Bleiz closer, before he went inside with him. The snow crunching under his heavy boots.

With a soft grumble, Bleiz snuggled closer to Donovan, holding his arm. The hotel still looked the same. Every day, every season. It always looked the same. The same old painting hanging in the hallway. The chandelier shining bright, its' light touching everything. Still, Iris was behind her desk at the reception.

"Hello Bleiz, hello my son. How was your evening?" she asked and tilted her head lightly. There was something about Bleiz, which made her a bit ... soft. Probably because her son was finally smiling again, his joyful sparkled has returned into his dead, blue eyes. He seemed so happy around him. Even if it was hard at first to see him with a young man by his side, causing Iris to worry about not so friendly guests. But they were alright. Happy and madly in love.

"It was great, mom. Still snowing a lot, and you know how much I like the snow." Donovan smiled and squeezed the hand of Bleiz. The snow was cold, like himself but even if it was so cold, so dead ... still beautiful. A beautiful phenomenon of the nature. Always gave him the hope he was beautiful as well. Maybe not so important, but at least beautiful.
"I agree. We had lots of fun." Bleiz smirked a bit as he thought about the snowball throwing. There was nothing more joyful than playing with him. He thanked whatever mightier power was out there that he was able to remember at least the memories with Donovan whenever he has been a wolf. The most precious moments were always around his mate. His best friend, his lover. Donovan was so much to him, sometimes Bleiz was afraid to proper breath around him, in the fear of scaring him away like a ghost.

His heart raced when Donovan pulled him into a loving, sweet kiss. After all, he rarely kissed him in front of his mother. It was understandable to Bleiz. Right now, he seemed to want to show his love for him. "I love you." He whispered against his pink, soft lips before he pulled lightly away, just to search for Bleiz' eyes. Gratefully, the boy opened his eyes, allowing him to get lost into his soul mirrors. Donovan cupped his face, pressing another kiss on his forehead, holding him close. Somehow, he had the feeling to give him so much affection he could. He didn't know how the urge has suddenly appeared, even though he always wanted to give him tons of love, he just had a strange feeling in his gut. Again, he kissed his soft lips. So warm, so sweet. A forbidden fruit. No matter how often and how hard they had sex – Bleiz was always so innocent. A sweet angel.

Even though Bleiz could already feel something odd was going on, he just wrapped his arms around him, holding tight. "You know I love you too." He whispered in his ear, so he knew these words were only meant to be heard by him.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey." Slowly, the vampire started to sing, holding Bleiz close, while he walked upstairs. "You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away ..." His voice started to fade, the moment he noticed a familiar figure at the end of the hallway. Out of reflex, he pulled Bleiz behind his broad back, covering the boy with his entire body.
"What do you want?" He shouted, still all tensed. This wasn't good. Why was she here? On their hallway? "I swear to every god and demon, I'll kill you if you come too close to him!" Again, he shouted, causing Bleiz to flinch.
"Sorry, pup." Softly, he kissed his head, yet his eyes focused on the women. He carried so much hatred for this woman in his heart, even though he still missed her somehow. Horrible thoughts, especially with a cute boyfriend like Bleiz. Hell, not even the Countess could be compared to him. To his gorgeous eyes, the innocence and pure beauty. Things nobody could ever buy in stores or anywhere in this world.

Bleiz bit on his lower lip, holding the arm of Donovan. "You need to calm down, please." He begged quietly, still hiding behind his body. "I am sorry for what did happen, you know I am. But you need to focus on other things." Soothingly, he rubbed his body along, looking with big eyes up to him.

"I want this all to stop, Bleiz. I am so sick of her terrors." Donovan looked down to him, pressing a protective kiss on his head. The smug smirk on Elizabeth's face made his stomach twist. She knew it. She knew how much Bleiz meant to him. "Stay there, pup. I'll be right back." With his fingertips, he pulled Bleiz' chin slightly up to give him a long, loving kiss on his lips. His mouth tasted so sweet. Sweet like honey and was softer than a feather. He was simply perfect. Every inch of his body was all Donovan could be craving for. He tugged on his lower lip, pulling Bleiz suddenly close. "Promise me you'll stay here, will you?" He asked, raising his eyebrow. It could be far too dangerous for him to follow Donovan. Just one second in which Donovan would be distracted and Bleiz could pay it with his life. "I'll be right back, I swear." He ruffled through his brown hair pulling Bleiz again back to reality. "I just need to talk something out." Again, the vampire realized how precious his eyes were. So beautiful and dark, like chocolate.

"I- I'll try my best." Bleiz stuttered, hugging his boyfriend suddenly as tight as possible. "Just be careful. Please. I don't have a good feeling at all." He sighed softly but let go of Donovan. Worried, he frowned, still his gut felt weird out of sudden. Like some danger will come.

Softly, Donovan smiled, cupping his sweet cheeks. "Don't worry, pup. She'll never hurt me physical." Even though his voice faded with the last part, feeling the slight sting in his chest, how little that means. A broken heart hurt so much more than broken rips. Again, he pressed an intense kiss on his lips, tasting and feeling his warm sweetness. Sometimes Bleiz has scratched him as a wolf while they were playing. Donovan has barely felt anything, but Bleiz felt so sorry, he was clinging on his body the entire day. He'll never deserve this boy. Never in his life. "I love you, Bleiz." Almost painful, he forced himself to pull away from his lips, just to look deeply into his eyes again.

"I love you too, Donovan." Such soft words, still causing the vampire to smile. "I know, baby. Like I said, I'll be right back." He winked at him, then turned around to walk towards Elizabeth, who just went into her little apartment – room. Weird, how familiar the furniture was to him. Good and bad memories. Mostly bad, even if he has loved them during this time. The memories of getting high and just fuck all day. How could he have done this to himself? What a waste of time. If only Bleiz has been there already. He has never known how much he has missed him, until he has stumbled in his life. Crazy, how someone walks right in your life and suddenly you don't know how you could've lived without them.

"How is your lover boy doing?" Her voice gave him goosebumps. Cold claws seemed to scratch above his back. He should've known. Should've known she would watch Bleiz. Why was he so egoistic? He should never let this sweet boy in his life, in his heart. Too late. He needed to focus now. A clear head is what Donovan needed right now. Else it could kill his boyfriend in worst case.

"Why do you care?", he asked, trying to keep his voice as calm as he could. Even though Bleiz made him emotional weak, it was a weakness, he could embrace. At least something, which made him feel human.

A soft chuckle escaped Elizabeth' throat. "Why I care? I guess you forgot who gave you this life. Without me, you wouldn't even be there, Donovan and poor little Bleiz all alone. Or maybe in the arms of Will. He seems pretty found of your toy boy."

Donovan tensed, growling softly. "He isn't my toy boy. And if Will decides to touch him, I'll break his neck." His shoulders were stiff, as he stared right at her. "How could I ever love you? You're a coldhearted monster!" His eyes darkened. At the moment he was just so angry. Especially of himself. How could he have been so naïve? "You've told me that you love me, but you only used me as a space filler. I was nothing for you!" His throat tightened, just like his heart cramped. The pain was still there whenever he thought about that time. It wasn't fair towards Bleiz, but these were only his feelings and his boyfriend would understand.

"You still know nothing about me, do you? It almost breaks my heart to know that you have no idea about me or my love life." She sighed softly, stroking through her long, white hair.
"You don't have a heart. Your heart is dead, has never existed." Donovan's voice started to tremble when he suddenly felt a warm hand on his back.

"Please stop Donny. You beat yourself up. It's not worth it." Bleiz hugged him tightly, his face pressed against his back. "You got me. You'll always got me by your side, my love." Carefully, he turned Donovan around, hugging him tighter. "It's okay. I'm sorry that I've taken my time, I wasn't sure if I should go to you or not." With a smile, he looked up to him stroking his black hair.

All his inner pain suddenly vanished, the moment Bleiz looked again in his eyes. "I'm glad you're here." Donovan whispered, stroking through his hair. He smiled and kissed his head again. Still, he looked with caution to Elizabeth, when suddenly the door opened.

Iris and Liz were storming in the room, machine guns in their hand. They started to shoot, the moment they entered the room.
For some seconds, Donovan thought time has stopped. Bleiz. With wide eyes, he looked at the boy, who grabbed his arm, watching with horror the two women. There was no time to think about anything twice. He pushed Bleiz down to the floor, covering him with his body.

"Donovan!" Bleiz screamed, trying to push him away, but the vampire didn't move, even after blood was coming out of his mouth, he kept Bleiz safe under his body. "Donovan, what are you doing?" He shouted while he tried to wiggle free. Yet Donovan held him down, his body hovering him.
"I promised you to protect you", he whispered, pressing a bloody kiss on his forehead. The gunshots slowly faded. Elizabeth must've run away, somehow managed to escape.

"You're so stupid. You're so stupid, Donny", he barely whispered, tears running down his cheeks. "I can't live without you." Bleiz whimpered, pressing his face against his cheek, feeling Donovan's body temperature getting lower. "No, don't die on me, Donovan!" He screamed again, holding tight on him.

"Mom! Bring me out! I don't want to remain as a ghost!" Donovan just shouted, ruffling through his hair. "I'm sorry, Baby. But you don't belong in this hotel. We should've run when we had chance to. I'm so sorry." Tightly, he hugged Bleiz, kissing his head along.
"Don't do this to me. Please. I can't live without you." Bleiz sobbed, looking up to him, when Iris pulled Donovan gently away. Her eyes were swollen and red as well, never meant to hurt her son.

"I am so sorry, I didn't know you were here", she muttered, but supported Donovan to get up. Meanwhile Liz tried to calm Bleiz, who was just staring at his boyfriend with teary eyes. With shaky legs, the boy got up, following them outside. "Donovan", he whispered, carefully touching his hand. As an answer, the vampire just squeezed his hand. "I'll wait for you, okay? I love you so fucking much, baby." Donovan smiled and kissed his hand.

"I love you too", he whispered, kissing his hand with a sly smile. "You wait for me, okay?" He sobbed, as they left the hotel to lay Donovan down on the street.

"I promise, pup. I promise."
