Dark Moon (ManxMan)

"I don't want you to be human."

Aetos gently drops the spatula he was holding in his hand and turned to face Colson. They were back in Aetos' house, Pytor upstairs in his room with Toby and the loud sound of music coming from his room. Colson doesn't want to know or even think about what they might be doing up there.

"Colson, we've talked about this."

"It doesn't seem fair, you know. I have my water mojo and you'll be human."

"To be honest, I've actually been thinking of another option." Aetos said, taking one look at the sauce he had been making before turning back to Colson who was staring at him with wide eyes. "I was thinking about asking Erik to turn me." Colson's jaw dropped, his eyes wide as he stared at his mate. What in the everloving fuck? He had been thinking a lot about the changing thing and had felt selfish for asking Aetos to give up a big part of himself when he wasn't going to give anything up. It hadn't felt right. Like he was asking for too much.

To know that he has been thinking about this alternative made Colson fetl a hundred times better but just as guilty.

"Aetos, you don't have to do all this for me."

"Actually, this is for me. I have loved a few things in my life but drinking blood wasn't one of them. I love you, I love cooking, I love Pytor, I love a handful of others but going years and years, watching people come and die, seeing everyone else grow old but you. It wasn't what I wanted. I wasn't given a choice, I was born this way and I thought that after a while I would have gotten someone to drive a stake through my heart and put me to sleep. It was all getting too much." Aetos said, this far away look in his eyes. The vampire turned off the stove and Colson was suddenly there, wrapping his arms around his mate. It hurt him to know Aetos felt like this.

"But I found you though. You walked into the room and everything felt a hundred times better. You are my everything, my moon and my stars. If I watch you grow old, if I watch you die while I stay young and immortal, I'd go mad. It would be what kills me." Aetos said, wrapping his arms tight around Colson. "I have been around werewolves for a long while, I was there when Erik's father was the Alpha, I watched Erik grow up and became one of his best friends. Werewolves to me, were a blessing. They had it all and they didn't need blood to survive."

Colson pulls back and looks up at Aetos. "You've been thinking about this."

"I have, ever since I found out you were my mate. Knowing that I had this option was like a dream come true."

Colson cupped Aetos' cheeks, thumb softly stroking his cheeks.

"Whatever you want, I would support you." Colson said, smiling up at his mate, "I know you would make a wonderful were. Your wolf would be so big."

Aetos chuckled as he looked down at Colson. "I love you."

"Love you too, Atty."

Colson leans up and closed the distance between their lips. They have been doing this for months now, they have been kissing and holding onto each other for months now and yet it still feels like the first time but only better. They still got the tingles, the warmth and Colson knows he would love this man for as long as he lives.

The kiss turns deeper, Aetos pushing Colson against the counter, lifting him upon it and settling between Colson's parted legs. Colson leans forward, fingers pushing into Aetos' hair, tugging a bit as they kissed. He lets out a loud moan when Aetos placed his hand over his cock, trying to push even harder against the hand. He wanted more. He needed more.

He pulls back, gasping and moaning loudly as Aetos trailed kisses down his neck, ripping off the tshirt Colson had on. It was unbelievably hot and so fucking arousing. Colson doesn't think he's ever been this hard before. "Room." Colson gasped out, tilting his head more to the side. "I want you to fuck me on our bed."

Aetos pulled Colson closer, hands holding him up by the thighs as he made his way up the stairs to the room. Colson was too busy sucking on Aetos' bottom lip, nibbling with his teeth, to notice how fast they moved or even if Aetos locked the door. He was placed on the bed and immediately parted his legs for Aetos.

He bucks up against his mate as they kissed, looking for friction. His head falls back against the bed, lips parted in a silent gasp as Aetos grinds down. Colson tugs at the shirt Aetos had on, pulling it off and tossing it to the side. He quickly flips their position, straddling Aetos and leaning down to lick at his skin. He takes Aetos; nipple in his mouth, tongue playing with the little nubbin while his fingers played with the other, squeezing and pulling.

Colson loved the sound that Aetos made. He loved the deep groans and how Aetos looked like he was losing his control with every pinch, lick or flick of the tongue. Colson trails kisses down the vampire's body, leaving marks in his wake. He tugs at Aetos' sweatpants and tossed it behind him. He decided to be a little tease today. Licking tiny stipes up Aetos' cock, holding the big cock in his hands as he takes his time in sucking him off.

Aetos pushed both hands in Colson's hair and forced his head down. Colson took in his entire inch. He stared at his mate, not breaking eye contact as he pulls off with a loud pop. He licks his lips and takes in Aetos' cock, his tongue lapping at the underside. He bobs his head, his hands squeezing the balls, eyes watering the deeper he goes.

Aetos' grip in his hair tightened and Colson was so hard.

Aetos comes without a warning, his come all over Colson's lips.

Colson licked it off, licking off his fingers as he crawled up the bed. He was pulled in for the most filthy kiss ever, tongue, teeth and loud moans, Aetos; hands on his ass, squeezing. He doesn't stay like that for long, he was flipped onto his hands and knees, his sweatpants torn off his body, ass in the air.

He lets out a loud moan, pressing his head against the bed when Aetos smacked his ass. It's loud and the heat of it makes Colson moan lightly. He knew what was coming but his body still trembled in anticipation. He lets out soft gasps as Aetos trails kisses down his back, his hands moving up and down Colson's skin, all the way back down to his thighs. Aetos parted his legs a little, nails scratching lightly at Colson's skin, making the other man shake. Colson lets out a loud startled cry when he's pinched in his inner thigh, the stinging sensation immediately covered by warmth as Aetos kissed, licked and nipped his way up Colson's thigh.

"Please." He begged, his words shaky.

"What do you want, Colson?" Aetos asked, his voice dropping several octaves. Colson loved how deep Aetos' voice got during sex. It made him happy and proud to know he and his body were the cause of it.

"Your mouth on my ass." Colson pleaded, pushing his ass back against Aetos' face. The vampire trailed his nose up the curve of Colson's ass. He spreads Colson's ass apart and dove in tongue first. Colson pushed his face against the bed, his scream muffled by the foam.

Aetos' tongue moved slow, as if he was trying to memorize Colson's taste. He pressed his tongue flat against Colson's hole and dragged, Colson has never been quiet during sex but he was especially loud today, his body responding under Aetos' tongue and hands. His legs were shaking and he was being held up by Aetos' hands.

Aetos alternated between licking and sucking, picking up his pace or slowing them down. It was driving Colson crazy. Aetos let go of one hand and wraps it around Colson's cock, moving his hands to the pace of the thrusts of his tongue. Colson was hard and so so close, so close. Aetos picks up his pace and Colson comes against the sheets, his entire body shaking with his release, lips part in a loud cry.

Aetos turns Colson around, moving between his parted legs and leaning down close enough for their noses to brush.

"I love you." Colson said, wrapping his arms around Aetos' neck, his chest rising and falling and heart beating like he just ran a marathon.

"I love you more." Aetos replied, pressing a kiss to Colson's nose, face, cheek and finally, his lips. Unlike before, this time the kiss is soft, gentle and Aetos; body was pressed fully against his, Colson could feel every inch of Aetos and he loved it. So much.

Moving faster than lighting, Aetos grabbed the tube of lube and coats his fingers. He slowly pushes one into Colson, never looking away from his mate's face. He loved how flush Colson's face was, he loved how his body shook with want, he loved how dazed Colson looked. Two turns into three and Aetos is slowly pushing into Colson, going inch by inch until he bottoms out. His cock so big Colson felt like he was being split in two.

Colson holds on tight, nails digging into Aetos' skin as the vampire thrusts. He starts out slow, going gently, his gaze never leaving Colson. He then picks up his pace, each thrust hitting his prostate over and over again, making him scream louder. He wraps his legs around Aetos' waist, pulling him closer for a kiss.

It's filthy, it's hard, he's hard, it's fast and Aetos wasn't even close to slowing down. Colson preened under the praise, felt so fucking wonderful with each dirty word that falls out of Aetos; mouth. He was so close. So so close. He had his eyes shut and the next time he opens it, all he could see was Aetos' neck and he doesn't even think about it, nor does he hesitate. He licked at the neck, his ass throbbing, loving the way Aetos' claws dug into his ass. He tucked his nose against the skin, pulls back a little and in the blink of an eyes, bit the skin.

Aetos buckled, his thrusts going even deeper, eyes flashing red until it fades to his beautiful grey. There was blood in Colson's mouth, dripping down his chin and blood rolling down Aetos' chest. Colson clenched around Aetos and they both come, the vampire's face tucked into Colson's neck.

They were both panting, chest rising and falling heavily. Everything else was quiet and it felt like they were the only ones left in the world. Colson had come so hard his vision had washed white and it took him a couple of blinks to get his sight and bearings back.

Aetos rolled over to his side and Colson turned his head to face him. His neck had thankfully stopped bleeding and he looked...really gorgeous. Sex crazed hair, swollen lips and skin lined with hickeys. Colson knows he looked almost the same. Aetos was staring at him like he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"You marked me." Aetos said, his voice quiet. There was a soft smile on his face and really, Colson would like to thank the deities for making the gorgeous man his. He is really thankful.

"I did and when you get turned into a wolf, you can mark me too. I am yours forever and ever." Colson said and shuffled closer to Aetos. Aetos wraps his arms around Colson and pressed a kiss to his forehead. The sun was beginning to set outside but neither of them noticed. They fall asleep like that, wrapped in each other's embrace. Love leaking out of their pores.

Colson wakes up to something soft being pressed against his skin. He peeks through one eye, humming contentedly when he sees Aetos pressing a kiss to his shoulder. He suddenly became aware of how warm it was and was making plans to never get off the bed.

"Get up, baby. You've got to eat." Aetos said, pressing a kiss to Colson's cheek.

"Go away before I break your nose." Colson said and Aetos laughed. The room was up, its light coming in through the window. Colson blinks slowly, still staring at the moon. He has never noticed it before. Before now everything had been dark. When he was invisible he didn't care if it was morning or not, everything had seemed dark.

"I love you."

"And I love you, baby."

"Forever?"

"And ever." Aetos promised, sealing the promise by pressing a kiss to Colson's temple. "Get up, let's eat. Your tummy has been rumbling for a while."

Colson lets out a groan, stretching out with his hands up. Aetos hands him a pair of shorts and one of his shirts, the sleeves falling over Colson's fingers. Aetos also pulled on something identical. They both made their way down the stairs, Colson frowning when he checks the time on his phone. 12:15am. They had been asleep for a while.

In the kitchen, Aetos put the sauce he had made back on the stove to heat it up a bit and switched on the rice cooker again. He was still moving around when Colson sees it, the mark on Aetos' shoulder. He quickly made his way over to his mate, fingers lightly tapping the soft skin.

"Your mark." Colson said, staring at the dark marks at the side of Aetos' neck. They were two crescent shaped marks, dark enough to look like they had been tattooed on. "Are you okay? Are you human?" he asked Aetos who just smiles brightly at him.

"I'm alright. Never been better and yes, I am human." He replied and Colson pulled him in for a hug, wrapping his arms tight around his neck.

They stay that way for a bit and only pulled apart when the rice cook went off. Colson watched Aetos move around the kitchen, nothing had changed. He was still Aetos.

Colson feels lighter, he feels like he was full, like he was complete. He doesn't know what he was expecting when they eventually got marked. Actually scratch that, he had no expectation what so ever. But here he was, feeling like a whole new man with Aetos walking around with his mark.

His claimed mate.

They eat in the kitchen. Colson ate like a man who had just found food for the first while Aetos laughed at him. it wasn't the first time Colson had seen Aetos eat, the week after Aetos had woken up, the first thing he asked for was pizza and the list went on. Aetos eats like he has all the time in the world, slow. After their late dinner, Colson and Aetos shuffle over to the sitting room. Colson flips on the tv and settled on friends, cuddling up to Aetos who wraps his arms around him. There was nothing different. Like, nothing felt different and for that Colson was grateful. If he could send the deities a fruit basket, he would.

"Do you think Pytor is still home?" Colson asked Aetos.

"Doubt it." Aetos said with a shake of the head.

Colson giggled, tucking his face into Aetos' neck, sliding a hand underneath the man's shirt and over his heart. He could feel the thump of Aetos' heart underneath his palm, he could hear the occasional deep breath that Aetos took, as if trying to get used to breathing. How warm he was.

"Who is going to take care of your kids?" Colson asked.

"Pytor. There is no doubt in my mind that he can do it."

Colson could see that. He could imagine Pytor staring unimpressed at a group of teenage vampire who are trying to convince him to let them go out during the day. The thought made him chuckle. He loved how calm Aetos was about all this. Like he has seen enough shit and this wasn't something worth freaking out over. They had a plan and Colson just knows his mate was going to be the best werewolf ever.

He couldn't wait for them to spend the rest of their lives together. He couldn't wait for them to grow old and still bicker like they do now. Surrounded by their kids.

That...  Kids. 

Colson has never been a fan of kids. So far he had thought the only kids he could love were Cobie's twins and now here he was, cuddled up to his mate and thinking about kids of their own. He knew Aetos had always wanted kids and now... Colson wants to give that to him. He wants to give Aetos everything and anything. His heart, body, soul and kids.

"What are you thinking about?" Aetos asked, softly stroking Colson's arm.

"You. Us. Many years from now, surrounded by kids."

Aetos' hands still and Colson pulls away just enough that he could look at his mate. Aetos was staring at him with that same look of wonderment. Like he couldn't believe Colson was real and Colson was so in love with him that it hurt. "You want kids?"

"So many kids. I want them to look like you, to have your gorgeous eyes." Colson said.

"Your eyes are even more beautiful. I want our kids to look more like you, how beautiful and soft you are and your smile." Aetos said, leaning down to brush his nose against Colson's in an eskimo kiss. "I love you so much." "I love you so much too."

They were so so close to kissing when they were interrupted by a loud howl. Colson and Aetos both pull apart and look at the window. It wouldn't take a genius and special hearing to know that was Erik. They snap back to it when they heard something vibrating. It was Colson's phone.

Erik was calling.

Colson immediately picks and pulled the phone away from his ears when Cobie screams loudly. "GET YOUR FUCKING ASS TO THE -HOLY FUCK! HOSPITAL! SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! FUCK THIS! FUCK ERIK! NEXT TIME HE SHOULD FUCKING IMPREGNATE HIMSELF!"

"Cobi-"

"PUPS! NOW! HOSPITAL COLLY OR DO YOU FUCKING WANT ME TO SPE- HOLY FUCK THAT HURT!"
