Part 5

A whole week went by. Dani didn’t move. He moved to use the bathroom but that was about it. He didn’t eat, he barely slept, all he did was cry and wait. The collar never left his hand, Dani tying it around his wrist so he never lost it. He’d lost weight during that little week and he was getting sick, his neighbor coming over every once in a while to check on him and try and coax him into eating, but Dani would have none of it.

He was actually sleeping the night Jewel came back, jumping when he heard the sound of twigs breaking, and he flew from the hammock when he saw the boy, grabbing him up in his arms and holding him close, almost crying he was so happy.

“Oh Jewel. Oh god I was so worried about you! Please don’t do that to me again, don’t just leave me like that and not come back,” he cried, holding Jewel carefully but tightly at the same time.

Jewel sighed and threatened to forget what he’d spent all week planning and building up to. It felt so good to be in Dani’s arms, cradled against that chest, but he couldn’t keep this, he knew he couldn’t keep this. He was too much in love with Dani to just sit back and watch him die.

“Dani…I need to talk to you,” he mumbled.

“I’m not cheating on you with that bastard, I swear! God, Jewel, please, you have to know that! I’d never do anything like that to hurt you, believe me!” he said, almost begging.

Jewel sighed. “That’s not what I wanted to talk to you about. I know you’d never do that to me,” he said with a sigh. He kinda wished Dani would, just to make it all easier.

Dani sighed and pulled back, kissing him which made it worse, and without warning he grabbed him up and carried him inside, throwing him onto the couch and holding him close. “Stay with me forever,” he mumbled.

Jewel bit his lip against the tears. “Dani…I can’t.”

Dani’s eyes widened. “Wh-what? I mean…why?” he asked, sitting up and staring at him.

Jewel sighed and reached up, running his fingers through Dani’s thick hair. “Because…I can’t just sit here and stay like this…and have to watch you die.”

Dani gasped. “Die, what? Jewel, what are you talking about?” he asked, cupping his face gently and running his thumb over his cheek.

Jewel sighed. “I can’t die…I am almost two thousand years old because I can’t die and this curse…I don’t know how to lift it. And I…I just love you way too much to sit here and go through that kind of pain,” he said, starting to cry.

Dani frowned and crooned. “I’m sorry…” But what else could he say? “I’ll…I’ll let you go then…but I swear to you. I’ll never stop loving you. And if you want to leave then okay. I love you, you can have whatever you want…but you find me again if you ever lift this curse because I want whatever time I have left to be spent with you,” he said, starting to cry again as he spoke. He got up and thumped upstairs, going into his room but not shutting the door.

Jewel sighed and sat up, wiping at his face, his mind not processing everything Dani had said. He was still too shocked that he’d actually been able to go through with it and tell him he was leaving. He got up after a minute and grabbed all of Dani’s things from the back, carrying them upstairs and standing in the doorway until Dani looked up at him.

“Can I stay with you? For one more night?” Dani’s eyes welled again and he nodded quickly, holding out his arms, arms that Jewel rushed to and allowed himself to meld into. It felt so right. But he didn’t want to feel the kind of pain he knew he’d feel if he stayed. They snuggled together and slowly slipped to sleep.

Dani woke the next morning and sighed, snuggling into the body next to him and smiling a bit at the warmth and that familiar smell. He kissed the bare chest before him and sighed, opening his eyes and looking up at Jewel’s beautiful face. It didn’t take much longer for him to realize what was going on. He sat up and startled Jewel as he lunged for the curtains and ripped them open. Sunlight met his eyes and he quickly turned to the clock. It was eight o’clock the next morning.

Jewel stared at him like he was insane, but as Dani rushed around, looking at him and then looking for something to tell the time, Jewel finally noticed that he wasn’t hot from too much fur and he stretched a great deal across the length of the bed. His eyes widened and he jumped of the bed, knowing then that it was real but still grabbing a mirror to look at himself and see that he was still human.

Dani came up behind him and almost reverently stroked his body, his hands gliding over him, still perfect skin and perfect curves. Nothing had changed. He was beautiful, alive, and human! “Oh my god…Jewel…” he said breathily. He was lost for words.

Jewel turned and stared at him, a panicked, surprised look to his face. “Dani…do you love me?” he asked suddenly.

Dani didn’t hesitate to grab him and capture his mouth in a searing kiss. “More than life. God, Jewel, I’d give it all for you,” he said, his momentary euphoria at having a human-in-the-morning Jewel pushed aside to make room for his declaration of love.

Jewel smiled a bit. “Really? Like you truly, deeply…love me?” Dani just nodded and kissed him again and Jewel was so excited that he pushed into the kiss and pushed Dani down to the bed. “Make love to me.” Dani moaned and didn’t hesitate to do as Jewel asked. Within seconds he had them stripped of their clothes and took his time with Jewel. He worshiped him like he wanted to, tasted as much of him as he could get, and took the longest time fucking him into oblivion. Jewel was a mumbling mess of passion not even halfway through it and all Dani could say was how much he loved him. And he meant every minute of it.

They spent a whole day, just like that, making love, kissing, feeling and tasting each other, and when they were finished Dani couldn’t help but think how beautiful Jewel was. He was flushed, sweating, his lips parted as he panted, swollen and red from their impassioned kissing. He looked completely fucked and ravaged and Dani decided he liked him like that, his hair mused and splayed out across the bed, little bite marks here and there on his supple flesh. He reached out a gentle hand and stroked Jewel from face to waist, grinning at the shiver.

Jewel opened his tired eyes and smiled at his lover, his eyes scanning over him and taking in the ‘just fucked’ appearance. “So am I going to be a kitty forever then? You obviously like petting me,” he teased.

Dani laughed. “I can’t help it, your skin is so soft,” he said, leaning in and kissing Jewel’s chest softly. He stopped when his stomach rumbled and blushed, but chuckled a minute later when Jewel’s did the same.

“I haven't eaten since I ran off,” said Jewel as he chuckled.

Dani laughed and smiled. “Me neither. C’mon, let’s take a shower and get some food.” Jewel smiled and they kissed again, being lovey-dovey as they made their way to the bathroom and washed each other off. It was just after noon when they managed to get dressed and get downstairs and Jewel went immediately outside, staring around at the lit up yard and woods with eyes he’d only used at night.

Dani kissed him as he brought out his plate. “You all right?”

Jewel nodded and slid into a seat, eating with gusto. “I’m just…it’s so awesome being able to look at things through these eyes.”

Dani sighed as he ate and watched Jewel happily. “Can I keep you now?”

Jewel blushed and looked up at him, his fast chewing slowing as he thought up what to say. “You can keep me…if you promise to love me forever.”

Dani smiled. “That’s easy then. I was planning on doing that anyway.” Jewel chuckled and they kissed a bit before going back to their meals. He knew Dani would love him forever. If the curse was lifted then Dani would always love him. And Jewel swore he loved him more than anything else in the entire world.

End...
