Alex had to admit, at least to himself, Kyle cleaned up quite nicely. Orange-blonde hair clung in wet clumps against his neck, a towel around his thin hips that did nothing for him. Alex himself just reclined on the bed enjoying the sight of this young droog trying to figure out where his patchwork clothes had gone and why only his scarf out of all his ensemble was neatly folded atop an outfit Alex had long since outgrew.
“Thou doest protest too much,” Kyle said in a dramatic tone, staring at Alex from under his bangs.
Alex stretched languidly and shrugged. “I have not the slightest clue about what you’re suggesting.”
“Of course not. My clothes sprouted legs and ran off to the nearest incinerator on their own, yes?”
“That’s exactly what happened. I tried to stop them, but they insisted so.”
“I’m pretty sure there’s a law against that.”
“Only if you get caught.”
Kyle laughed, nearly doubling over in the sarcasticness of the noise before he sobered, straitening up to pin the elder with a smoldering gaze. He said nothing, only stared, before he pulled off the towel around his waist and began to dress.
“Nice ass.” Alex said softly.
“It does entice so.” Kyle replied just as softly.
Alex made a humming noise in reply and just watched Kyle try to figure out the unfamiliar dress. His eyes drifted over that scrawny body – not really emaciated, but Alex fancied he could see ribs, and then he wondered what Kyle would look like torn open – and then he found himself staring into hazel eyes. Alex simply tilted his head back, looking down at his droog and quite aware the boy was dangerously close to his hops.
“What are you imagining?” Kyle asked, easing back out of range of a kick or anything else.
“How pretty you are.”
“Liar.” The urchin replied with a grin.
Alex frowned. “Why do you say that?”
“Your eyes, brother,” Kyle moved off the bed, stretching as he adjusted the clothes on his small frame. “Your eyes get dark when you think about blood.”
Alex blinked, shifting off the bed to follow Kyle around. “What do you know? What’s locked in that head of yours?”
“Plenty of things. I am allowed into a library, you know.”
“A dirty thing like you, allowed around all those clean books?”
“Sic transit Gloria mundi,” Kyle said with a grin. Alex froze at the use of Latin before he burst out laughing. Kyle just stared at him with a lessened grin, as if he’d join in if he knew what the joke was.
“Sic transit Gloria mundi,” Alex repeated. “Certainly describes me.”
“Mm, not really. I your case, you’ll heal up. I did.”
“What?”
Kyle pirouetted around Alex when the blonde gestured for him to get out of the bedroom, the orange-blonde haired youth bounding a little as he pulled on his laceless boots. Before Kyle could actually exit the apartment, Alex caught him by his shoulder.
“What do you mean, I’ll heal?” he asked, watching Kyle’s eyes grow confused for a moment.
“Oh!” Kyle exclaimed brightly upon remembering. “Your head is messed up right? You wish you could do something, but can’t, right? Well, it’ll go away.”
“How do you know?” Alex asked snidely, becoming frustrated with the kid.
“They did it to me once, when I was little.”
“How’d you keep it from ruining you?”
“I turned off my brain.”
Alex couldn’t even voice his next words, just staring at the young droog. Kyle wasn’t looking at him anymore, staring off to the side of the hallway, focused on one spot so intensely that his pupils had dilated, and Alex was left wondering what to do to get his droog back. The boy standing before hm wasn’t Alex’s Kyle. This was a boy who had endured and locked away every bad memory behind a cheerful demeanor.
Well, Alex deiced, I’ll push later. “Kyle.”
The boy blinked, looking shyly up at Alex. The elder fought the recoil and fought to keep from striking the brain when he saw the playful grin.
“What?” Alex asked, defensive.
“You called me by my name,” Kyle said, looking pleased. Then he turned on his heel and began to walk away, leaving Alex standing alone, stunned.
He’d called Kyle by name. He’d taken their relationship to another level without realizing it. No longer were they leader and follower but they were something a little less than… than what? Friends?
“You’re giving yourself an aneurism,” Kyle said, having wandered back over to the man. Alex stared at Kyle, face carefully guarded as his hand began to curl into a fist.
“Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t kill you right now,” Alex growled, fighting down nausea.
“Well, I don’t even know your name.”
Alex’s body just froze, his eyes locked onto Kyle’s. Then he began to laugh, shaking his head. Before Kyle could even speak, Alex lashed out, taking hold of the smaller’s chin to force him to look into Alex’s eyes.
“Never fuck with me like that, understand?” Alex said in a soft croon, a tone that he knew Kyle would not misinterpret.
The young urchin just slightly canted his head. “How would you like me to fuck with you?”
Kyle was out of his grip and halfway down the hall before Alex got his wits about him again. Giving a soft snarl and desiring to beat his droog black and blue, Alex stalked after the younger man, lips curled in a decidedly cruel smile. Of course, he softened it when he found Kyle waiting for him by the stairwell, reaching out to gently stroke Kyle’s cheek.
A smart boy, Alex thought, when Kyle stood his ground as the pets continued, just watching Alex. Finally, Alex sidestepped Kyle, heading down the stairs.
“Are you coming?” Alex asked innocently, looking back at his droog with a Cheshire smile. Kyle’s skin paled a little, but he moved down the stairs after his leader, his own Cheshire smile beginning to grow.
“Let’s get something to eat,” Alex declared, setting up the trap so sweetly, “then we’ll go play.”
Kyle gave Alex his best ‘I’m game’ smile. “Okay.”
