6 Chapter 6

"Where are we?" Aki asked as he followed Felix into an expensive home.

The place was larger then most homes the average person in the city could afford. There were a total of three bedrooms in the place and it was in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city. Distance from the bar wasn't that long allowing them to get to and from the bar quickly without a problem. Felix was the sole owner of the home and it was filled with expensive furniture. It was clear at a glance that the man had more money then you'd assume at a first glance, but before even wondering how much money he made one would naturally become drunk on his looks so that did not matter much.

"This is my home." Felix stated out loud to the boy as he shut the front door.

"Why are we here?" Aki could not understand the meaning behind his actions to bring him here. He wondered about it but no matter what he thought of there were too many things a mortal could be thinking in such a situation.

"So you'll stop sleeping by my bar's trash you'll be staying here for now. I don't think you're homeless at a glance so I can only assume you're simply running away from something or possibly someone. If you need a place to nap you're going to start taking your sleep here. I have two extra rooms so just use one of them." Felix started talking about Aki as if he was moving into the home with him.

"You want me to stay here with you?" Aki's face turned red at the idea of sleeping in the same home as the man.

"I don't want you to. I need you to!" Turning around to grab Aki by his shoulders Felix had a look of determination in his eyes. There was a spark of something else as well while a slight tint of pink could be seen on his face like he was blushing at the idea as well. His heart was racing hard within his chest as he shook his head slightly at Aki while speaking. Of course he simply meant that he needed the boy to stop sleeping behind his bar but when he said the words that he needed Aki he could not help but feel something burning in his chest.

What's wrong with me? He's a hopeless kid.. Felix thought to himself as he slowly released his grip on Aki's shoulders. He could see the dazed expression on his face as if he had just heard a love confession from another. The thought that Aki might have taken his words the wrong way caused him to want to clear up the misunderstanding. That lasted only a moment before he forced himself to remain silent because the look in Aki's eyes like a fiery desire had been lit made it impossible for him to open his mouth again.

"Alright! I agree! I agree!" Aki shouted out in agreement repeatedly before jumping into Felix's arms.

Felix had been caught off guard by the sudden leap into his arms but he could feel nothing wrong with it. A comfortable sensation shot throughout his body as he smiled down at the young man. His heart was racing faster then he had ever felt it beat before. There was never anything in his life that had made his heart pound so wild in his memories that he could recall. It made him wonder if what he really felt for the boy was as simple as he wanted to tell himself it was but in the back of his mind he knew no matter how many times he told himself it was simple there was nothing more complicated then what he felt.

Amid the silence Aki slowly tilted his head up to look at Felix's face. The face that he so wanted to look at was looking right back down at him just inches apart from each other. Raising slowly onto the tips of his toes so that he was closer to Felix as if to kiss him he paused half way to see if Felix would return the affection. They could both feel the warmth of each other's breath as they both began to close their eyes slowly. Only after their mouths almost connected with each other did Felix push Aki away from him to stop himself from going through with it.

"I should head back for work. You can stay here and rest." Felix said as he quickly retreated from the house before he could be coerced any further. Temptation from the boy was just too much for him to handle right now. If he had stayed with him any longer he was certain he would really turn into a big bad wolf preying on a small animal.

"You're always so interesting.." Aki mumbled under his breath to himself after watching Felix leave the house with him still inside of it. A smile slipped onto his face as his chest burned with a fiery passion to make Felix truly his. He was not certain how much time he would have in this world before he traveled to a new one but he was certain of one thing and that was he wanted his days on earth to be spent with Felix at his side. "You.. will become mine."

Slowly turning away from the door he walked further into Felix's home to inspect the place he had decided to make his official den. Walking over to the closest bedroom to where he was he pushed the door open. Stepping inside the room his heightened sense of smell could tell the room belonged to Felix. It was heavy with the scent of Felix in the bedroom but at the same time it had other odors as well that made his stomach churn. The number of other people's scents in the room caused his face to darken.

"Everything in here goes." Aki said out loud to himself as he lifted his hand up. In the palm of his hand a small blue flame appeared and was sent flying right for Felix's bed. In a matter of seconds the entire bed was set on fire as if he had lit a bonfire in the house.
