Timeless Affections and Puppy Love.

Summary: This is a story about love, about the fact that love can transcend time and race (if you consider being a vampire or a werewolf as being in a different race). Aiden/OC and Josh/OC. The being human boys are falling for the two lovely new vampires in town. Aiden has a history with one of them that he has kept hidden. The other is making Josh question himself, Can vampires and werewolves be together?

A/N: This is my first Being Human story, and also my first fanfiction. It was inspired by my best friend (because she asked me to write her into a story) and it just went from there. Any ideas or opinions about the story would be appreciated but please don't be harsh, it's my first try and I just wanted to share it and see if anyone enjoyed it. Second chapter is all ready to go but if no one likes this then I won't probably won't upload it.

Slight AU, not sure where in the series this would be placed but some knowledge of the characters is needed. Not sure what warning to put on this but it's a little violent and I guess angsty.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or most of their backgrounds. Only the OC's and the past I've created are mine. (This comes from my mind but might be lame to others- If so I apologise)

Chapter One: Blast from the Past.

It was shortly after sunset. Josh watched as the rain poured down outside, the street was bathed in a blue glow and Josh thought to himself how he wished he could paint such a picturesque scene. Aiden was oblivious to the outside word, his head stuck in a book that he had read a million times over. He found Josh's breathing to distracting so he sat in his room with a large pair of headphones on, blasting classical music into him ears. Sally was sitting downstairs with Josh, also staring out the window. She wished that she could smell the rain as it hit the freshly mowed grass. She pouted at the fact that she would never again smell the sweet smell of rain.

All of the sudden there was a knock on the door, Josh almost jumped out of his seat because of the shock it gave him. Sally snickered at the look on his face, it was a mixture between surprise and fear. There was another knock and the door and Sally said. "Josh you should probably answer the door, its rude to leave whoever it is out in the rain." He did reply or even move. "I'd do it except I can't turn the doorknob." She said, now getting annoyed by the fact that he wasn't moving. He then jumped and went over to the door. He could see that there were two blurry figures behind the stain glass of the door. He opened the door, Josh was immediately dumbstruck by the two beautiful and soaked women at his door step. The one that stood right in front of him had long black hair and very deep brown eyes. The other one who stood behind the first had blonde hair and amazingly hypnotic green eyes. Josh thought that her eyes remaindered him of shining emeralds. Though both the girls looked related they also looked very different.

They stood there for a moment, as if they expected Josh to say something. When he didn't the black haired one said. "Hello Josh, is Aiden home?" He was set back for a moment the beautiful creature that stood before him had just said his name. Because all he heard her say was his name he asked. "Umm, could you please repeat the question?" They both smiled, he smiled back because their smiles made him want to smile. "Is your roommate Aiden home?" The blonde one said and Josh noticed that both of the girl's voices sounded like those of angels and their faces confirmed it. He knew right then and there that they were, of course not angels but vampires. "Ye-yes, he's just upstairs. I'll go get him for you." He said then turning away, turning back in an instant and adding. "I would invite you in but I think your va…" He was stuck on the word, if they weren't vampires then he would creep then out. "I can't let strangers in." He said in recovery. "That's ok Josh, it's good that you don't let strange vampires into your house." Said the blonde vampire, who was still smiling brightly at him. He blushed in response before running up the stairs to Aiden's room.

The blonde one turned to the other and whispered. "He's cute for a werewolf." They black haired on just shushed her. She was busy trying to hear what Josh was saying. Josh came into Aiden's room and at first he didn't see him. Aiden lie on his stomach, facing the head board, Josh could hear the blaring music coming from his headphones. He sighed, then tapping him on the shoulder. Aiden spun around, knocking the headphones from his ears and scowling at Josh. "What are you doing in here Josh, I said I didn't want to be disturbed." Josh sighed again, rubbing his temples in anger. "Look Aiden I don't… there are a couple of female vampires waiting for you at the door and their getting soaked because I won't let them in." Aiden was gone before Josh could blink. He sighed a third time then going back down stairs.

Aiden saw her there, he rubbed his eyes. He could believe it was her, he thought she was dead. Her clothes clung to her divinely shaped body and her black hair was flat and soaked though. She straightened her posture at the sight of him, he didn't know it but his face had stuck in her mind long after she'd seem it. "I don't know if you remember me…" "Jesebel… of course I remember you." He said, very surprised that she thought that he wouldn't remember her. "That's good, well you haven't met my… sister, for all intensive purposes. This is Lyarnah." Jesebel said and Lyarnah held out he hand, as far as she could without hitting the threshold. "Nice to meet you Aiden, Jess has told me a lot…" Jesebel kicked Lyarnah in the shin and whispered. "Shut up Lyarnah." Aiden smiled then realising that he still hadn't invited them in he said. "It's nice to meet you Lyarnah. Would you two lovely ladies like to come in."

He took both their coats and told them to take a seat. Josh hoped up from the couch and said. "I'd appreciate it if you waited for me to put down a towel." He said then running up stairs. Jesebel laughed and turned to Aiden. "Your werewolf is very… eccentric." Aiden laughed and nodded in agreement. "He's not my werewolf, but he is eccentric." Josh rushed back in the room carrying a large pile of towels, he then artfully placed the towels over the lounge until it looked like it was made of towels. Lyarnah and Jesebel then sat down, Aiden rolled his eyes at Josh's attempt to keep the couch dry, he knew it would get wet anyway. Josh thought they looked cold so he asked. "Do you want a blanket of something to warm up with?" Jesebel smiled at the werewolf. "That's very sweet of you Josh but vampires don't actually get cold. But if you have any more towels left we'd love one to dry off with." His face became a deep shade of crimson. He just nodded and went back upstairs. When he was out of earshot Lyarnah giggled. "He's so funny and cute, like a little puppy." Aiden sat down on the opposite the other side of Jesebel and said. "He won't like it if you call him that but it's true."

"Your ghost doesn't have to hide." Jesebel said as she spotted Sally peeking into the room from the kitchen. Aiden went into the kitchen and smiled at the hiding Sally. "You can join us you know, there not scary." Sally scowled at his patronising tone. "I know that but there still strangers." She replied in a futile whisper. "Well actually, one of them at least, is a friend of mine…" Aiden whispered then looking back at Jesebel for a moment then continuing his sentence. "She's a friend of mine and I would like it if you were a bit more polite." Sally nodded then following Aiden to back into the room. Sally smiled at the still damp girls, she would of held out her hand but of course there was no point. "Hi, I'm Sally."

Aiden and Jesebel sat alone in the kitchen as the other three sat with their faces glued to the television screen. Aiden handed the now mostly dry Jesebel a cup of coffee then sitting opposite her with his. "Thank you." She said then sipping the hot liquid. "I don't mean to sound… I thought you were dead." Aiden said in the nicest way possible. She smiled into her cup, of course he thought she was dead. Of course Bishop would tell Aiden that. "I figured as much by the look on your face when you saw me at the door. What were you told happen and who told you, that is if I can't guess already." She said then placing her cup on the table. Then sitting back in her chair and waiting for his reply. "Well Bishop…" He started to say but she interrupted him. "Of course.. Bishop." She said with bitterness then drinking down more coffee before saying. "I apologize for interrupting it was rude, I just hate that deceitful man. Go on." He smiled at her hatred for Bishop, he had always assumed that she enjoyed his fascination, or at least respected his authority. "Well he told me that after you had left you were ambushed on your way out of New Orleans and staked. And of course at the time I was inclined to believe him."

As the night drew on Sally left to haunt other people. Aiden offered the two girls a room to stay in for the night Jesebel refused because she was hoping to stay up talking with Aiden. But Lyarnah was tired so Josh went with her upstairs to set up the spare bedroom. "I really appreciate this Josh, you and Aiden are sweet to let me stay in your home." Lyarnah said as Josh brought clean sheets into the room and started making the bed. "It's really no trouble, I trust you." He said then wondering why he had said it. "Why would you trust me?" Lyarnah said with a raise of her eyebrow. "Well Aiden trusts Jesebel and I assume that Jesebel trusts you so that means Aiden trust you. And I trust Aiden so… did that make any sense at all?" Josh said in a cufuddle. Lyarnah laughed, he was so cute. "Yer it did." She replied then waiting a moment before saying. "I don't mean to offend you but your quiet nice for a werewolf. Well you're the nicest one I've met anyway." Josh sat down on the bed, now sitting opposite Lyarnah who was sitting on a small chair. "You've had a bad experience with werewolves?" He said with empathy, he was mad at werewolves that he didn't know for giving this girl a bad experience with his kind.

"I won't say that but.." She lifted up her top and showed the slight intent of three claw marks on her stomach. "It happened a week ago but it was so severe that it hasn't completely healed yet. It also does help that I don't drink live blood." He almost smiled, she sounded almost disappointed that she wasn't draining people dry and he thought that it was strange hearing this from something that seemed so innocent. "You don't drink from human too, like Aiden." He said almost offering to get her a mug of warm blood from downstairs. "Well yer, its hard sometimes but yer. It's all thanks to Jess that I'm even off the live blood and not a big pile of dust lying somewhere." She said, not really explaining why she would be dead without Jesebel. Before Josh could ask about it Lyarnah had jumped into bed and cover herself in covers. "Thank you for the bed." He smiled though she was no longer facing him. "Of course have a good sleep." She smiled also, almost wanting to turn around, get out of bed and kiss him. But she knew that you be improper, she knew that Jesebel wouldn't be happy if she didn't at least as permission. "You too sweet werewolf." She said then burying her face in the pillow.

As he left the room he dwelled in her last comment. 'Sweet werewolf' werewolves aren't sweet, he's not sweet.

Lyarnah quickly drifted off into her dreams. Vampires technically don't dream, it's more like they repeat memories in their head to pass the time. She thought back to when she first met Jesebel, many years ago.

New York 1943

The blood sprayed over her like a shower when she ripped open the neck of the struggling man. She drank and drank until his heart stopped, slowly letting him fall to the ground. She couldn't see straight, her vision we blurred by the blood coursing through her. But she could still hear the slow footsteps that were coming from behind her. She spun around, knowing of course that the thing behind her wasn't human, she couldn't hear a heartbeat for miles. A woman stood before her, with a stake in hand. Her defences immediately flared, her fangs where already drawn but before she could strike she was thrown into the opposite wall. The beautiful black haired woman picked Lyarnah up by the neck with one hand, the other still gripping the stake tight. The woman laughed as Lyarnah struggled to break free. "Oh little vampire you can't get away from me, I'm much older and much stronger than you. There is no way you can over-power me." Lyarnah continued to struggle under the woman's grip as she said. "Who are you and want to from me?" "I'm Jesebel and I'm here to give you a choice, stop killing humans or I'll kill you." Jesebel made it sound so simple. "That's not possible." Lyarnah said while choking for unneeded air. Jesebel released her grip, lowering Lyarnah to the floor. "I can help you with that." Lyarnah rolled her eyes. "Do I have a choice?" Jesebel laughed at the young vampire. "No, not really."
