Ultimatum

Caleb slammed into the mirror with agonizing force and felt dozens of fragments of glass dig into his back. He fell forward and landed on the floor. Now would be a good time to pass out, except for one thing.

Chase wouldn't let him.

The older boy grabbed Caleb by his hair and the collar of his shirt and flipped him onto his back. Caleb moaned with the pain of his weight on the glass.

"Do you see my problem here?" said Chase, laughing a bit as he leaned over the other boy. "I like to use. A lot." He laughed that insane little laugh again. Caleb was trying hard to remember why he was ever attracted to Chase in the first place. All he had to do was look up and see those sexy sky blue eyes and it all came rushing back. Stupid brain, stop that.

"More power won't stop the aging! It's the body that wears out, not the magic." Caleb growled. Chase scowled at that.

"You will give me your power! Or I'll go after them." He leaned down even more and brought Caleb's face close to his. He stared into the younger boy's eyes. "Your friends, your mother, everyone you care about." Caleb knew he meant it, but that didn't stop all the bad and probably traitorous thoughts from entering his head when he felt Chase's breath on his face. The older boy grinned.

"But no harsh feelings, brother." He closed the distance and placed a rough kiss on the younger boy. Caleb felt his reaction before the thought ever crossed his mind. He opened his mouth to give Chase more access. Chase's tongue rushed into his mouth and scraped over Caleb's before exploring the younger boy's mouth. Caleb felt a mixture of excitement and disgust, which all went away when Chase moved his tongue in a way that sent shivers down the other boy's spine. Caleb suddenly realized that he was only being held up by Chase's hands on his face, and reached up to tangle his fingers in the older boy's hair.

Just as suddenly as it had started, the kiss ended when Chase pulled away. He lowered Caleb back to the ground and gave him a smirk that either made the younger boy want to kill himself, or tackle him. He stood and walked away, silently releasing his curse on Sarah.

"You will give me your powers," he said as he walked out the door, "or they'll all die."
