Part VI (Albel)

Carefully, doing his best not to hurt him, Albel set Fayt in the passenger side of the car and started it. I can't believe I pulled that off! Fayt's ok…Finally. We're both safe.

Fayt's voice cut into his thoughts, "Where are we going?"

"Anywhere we want. We're free. Look! It's Christmas Eve and you're ALIVE!" Albel laughed hysterically, feeling invincible. Alive…he's alive! And it's going to stay that way as long as I live.

Fayt smiled. "Yeah. All thanks to you."

Albel smirked, and replied, "You're mine. I couldn't let them do all that and live to tell about it." He leaned over and passionately kissed Fayt, tongue feeling every inch of the other boy's mouth, never wanting the moment to end. Reluctantly, Albel allowed Fayt to pull away, gasping for air.

"I'm not strong enough for this."

"Hah, I can't help it. I'm just so damn glad you're ok!" Albel pulled the other boy between his legs, so Fayt's back leaned against Albel, who almost instinctively wrapped his arms around the boy.

"I love you," Albel whispered. "Let's go start out own life. Together."

"Yeah. Let's go," Fayt whispered back, crawling into his seat, falling asleep as Albel took off.

I can't believe I pulled that off! My little Fayt..he's all mine now. No one can steal him away. I'll kill anyone who hurts him! I just hope he can adjust to this kind of life. Albel smiled at Fayt, who slept soundly. "I won't ever take you out killing with me," he promised. "You'll be safe."

Albel drove on for a few hours, silently admiring the Christmas decorations around him, before Fayt woke up, calling his name. "Albel?"

"I'm right here."

Fayt grinned. "It's Christmas and I'm alive!"

Albel smirked, pulling the car into a Wendy's parking lot. "It's also 3 AM."

Fayt laughed. "Since when did you care?"

The taller boy leaned over, his face close to Fayt's. "Since you looked so fuckable." He pulled away, turning the car off. "Besides, starting tomorrows I'm killing for money. You might want some rest- I have a feeling we won't be going anywhere safe."

"I don't care what you do, as long as we both live. Together."

There had been few moments in the life of Albel Nox where he was happy, and there would be very few more. But as he sat there, staring into Fayt's eyes, he was happy. Snow fell around their little car, parked in front of the tiny building covered in Christmas decorations. Colorful lights sparkled against green wreaths. Red and green ribbon was strung around a lamp post next to the old car, where inside two boys with eyes of the same colors kissed, and Albel whispered, "I love you," before they both slept soundly, Fayt held firmly in Albel's arms.

Author's note: I have very little to say. But I did it. Not only did I finish in time for Christmas, I got to use my amazing observation made duting this fic: Their eyes are Christmas colors.

Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, Joyous Yuletide, Happy Ramadan and Merry Christmas!

Even though you're probably mostly athiests.
