Eternity: Circle of love By Nara

Day Five Closer

            In the morning they were still clinging together. Evan ran his hands along Malcolm’s back sleepily. Malcolm nuzzled his neck, his lips caressing him. Evan moaned then woke up with a start. He pulled away from him abruptly. That was close, he sighed. Evan rested his head in his hands. He was really worked up now. Malcolm’s T-shirt was twisted revealing his chest. Evan stared at him hotly. He reached over to pull his shirt down, but the feel of Malcolm’s skin overwhelmed him. Evan ran his tongue across his lips; he wanted to taste his skin. Evan practically jumped out of the bed. What his he doing? He went to take a shower. A very cold one.

            The shower wasn’t helping; he couldn’t wash off the way Malcolm felt. Maybe he should just relieve himself. Malcolm was still fast asleep, he just had to hurry. Come to think of it he’d never gone this long without sex. Dante and he had done it every day. At least twice if not more. He was really starting to miss Dante. If nothing else the sex had always been great. And how it would it be with Malcolm? Evan thought to himself. He envisioned him in every detail.

            How he wanted to explore every inch of that beautiful body. He was sure he could give Malcolm pleasure like he’d never known. Evan felt another pang of guilt. It wasn’t cheating to think about Malcolm? Besides Dante had plenty of lovers other than Evan. Evan’s thoughts drifted back to Malcolm , this was probably the only way he’d be with him in his fantasies. Then he realized he wasn’t alone.

            “Aaaahhh.” He heard a sigh of satisfaction then the toilet flushing.

            “Morning!” Malcolm called cheerily to him. Evan turned his back to him, he was sure he had locked the door. The showers were open, Malcolm had probably seen everything. Evan felt his temperature rise, as he blushed from ahead to toe.

            “M-morning” he stammered. Malcolm didn’t seem phased as he turned on the shower head a few yards away from him. Perhaps he hadn’t seen anything after all. But this was an unwelcome interruption. Evan groaned inwardly, M’s naked wet body was not helping his situation at all.

            “I’m sorry about last night. ” He said to take his mind off his other problem.

            “No I’m glad I feel better.” Malcolm replied scrubbing his well toned abs.”I never talked to anyone about it before.” He bent over to wash his legs and feet. Evan turned his face back to the wall. He spent the next several minutes counting the tiles. Malcolm turned off the shower head. No tan lines, he thought to himself, and nicely endowed too.

            “I’m going downstairs to make breakfast, so you can go back to what you were doing.” He lips twitched again into that almost smile and then he left. Evan stared after him his mouth wide open, why that little. He hadn’t stuttered once either.

            Malcolm didn’t have to just stand and watch, he could have said something. Maybe Malcolm was some kind of pervert. Evan smiled, that could be a good thing. Malcolm had laid out clothes for him. How considerate, he thought. The pants were tight and shiny, and the shirt was made of some sort of see through material. It was rather provocative. Evan admired himself in the mirror, he was attractive. Why didn’t Malcolm want him? He wondered pouting.

             After what Malcolm had been through how could he want anyone? He could be an exclusive who was only into girls. That was rather common among lowers, heterosexuality it was called. It seemed rather odd to him, to have sex with women. Women could be pretty he thought. His mother was beautiful, but sex with her was a terrifying thought. That hadn’t stopped those Regency bastards though. Then they had come after him.   Evan turned away from those thoughts.  That was a place he didn’t need to go right now. Evan wasn’t a true Regent, but the only two people he’d ever been attracted to were men...He'd never really thought about it before.

            Evan began shamelessly rummaging through Malcolm’s drawers. He smiled, X-rated video discs, and they were all of men. He saw a few of his favorites. So Malcolm was attracted to men, otherwise he wouldn’t be watching these. There was hope.

            “Oh I guess you still need some more 'alone time'.” Malcolm said standing in the doorway, he pressed his mouth together, trying not smile again. He left shaking his head. Evan nearly sank through the floor. Malcolm had just walked in on him grinning like a maniac holding porno discs. How could he face in him now? And why didn’t Malcolm smile? It seemed like he wanted to...

            Evan crept down stairs Malcolm had earphones on and was staring intently at a V-screen. He was singing along to something. Evan hadn’t heard music in years. The Regency frowned on music and arts in general. Evan kept making all sorts of embarrassing sounds while he ate. He wanted to say something to Malcolm.

Malcolm finally took the head phones off. Why was he getting so worked up for? Uppers really were strange.

            “It’s not a big deal y’know. Everybody does it.”Malcolm said. Evan suddenly had a picture in his mind of Malcolm doing it. He stared at him intently. Malcolm rolled his eyes, the upper was having filthy thoughts about him again. Poor guy must not have gotten any in a while. Even if the other uppers rejected him, he found it hard to believe Evan ever lacked for a partner.

            “If you would like servicing?” He began dryly.

            “NO!” Evan shouted at him.

            “I’m n-n-not good enough for you?” he asked. Malcolm frowned, that wasn’t what he meant to say. It wasn’t like he wanted Evan to want him. ”I mean you saved my life I owe you.” That wasn’t what he’d meant to say either.

            “That’s not why I helped you, that would be wrong” Evan said

            “That’s never stopped anyone else.” Malcolm muttered

            “Besides,” Evan stared at the wall, trying to keep his voice even “You don’t want to and I’m not like everyone else.”

            Malcolm looked at him warmly. He had a lot of self control for an upper. He was sure Evan would jump him in the shower. He put aside any fears of Evan assaulting him. He could trust him, and it would all be over for both of them in a few days. Upper or not, only regents could get off the planet. Evan had probably decided to have one last fling before it was all over. He was looking for a good time, maybe Malcolm could give it to him. He knew he could. It would be different with Evan, Evan was different. Even when he had been terrified of him last night, a part of him wanted to be with Evan. It had made him angry before, but not now. With Evan it would be right.

            Overseer Wilson’s evil faced flashed into his mind. God every time he thought about it, he would see that bastard’s face, smell his rotten breathe, feel him, and remember. He clenched his fists. He could never be with anyone because his life was a nightmare.

            “What are those things” Evan asked pointing to the wall.

            “Kites” He answered “Wanna go fly ‘em?”

            This must have been the best day of his life. Evan laughed as their kites chased each other across the sky. They had found an abandoned parking lot to fly the kites in. Evan’s was yellow in color and shaped like a diamond. Malcolm’s balloon was blue and looked like a square balloon. He kept looking over to him. Malcolm still had that tight smirk on his face. He was still holding his happiness in. Evan could sense that Malcolm never got to relax much. He was the same way himself. What had he been missing all this time cooped up in the ark, trying to save his life? He should have been out here living it.

            “Let’s eat!” Malcolm called to him throwing down a blanket and setting up their picnic.

            “You are the best cook in the world!” Evan exclaimed.

            “I know.” Malcolm responded.  Malcolm had out done himself, he wanted to impress Evan. 

            “And so modest.” Evan teased him. Malcolm flashed a brief smile before biting into his sandwich. Evan caught his breathe. Malcolm was even more magnificent when he smiled. If only he could keep him smiling. They ate in silence, a very comfortable one.

            “Race ya!” Malcolm called out to him and then took off down the street.

            “Hey!” Evan shouted chasing after him, he had nice head start. But he knew he could catch him easily. On top of being inhumanly good looking, g.e.’s were faster and stronger than any normal human could ever hope to be. Malcolm watched as he passed him in a flash., Malcolm halted,  then darted down a side alley. Evan rounded the corner feeling victorious then skidded to a stop. Malcolm had beaten him there. He must have taken a short cut.

            “I won.” Malcolm said out of breathe

            “You cheated.” Evan complained.

            “You’re genetically engineered, who’s the cheater?” Malcolm asked him, before gasping gain.

            “That’s not my fault.” Evan protested

            “And it’s not my fault you didn’t know the shortcut.” Malcolm told him haughtily

            “But- but.” Evan said feebly, he hated losing.

            “You do the dishes.” Malcolm said

            “Dishes?” Evan asked dumbfounded “How do you do the dishes?”

            “Are you really a superior being?” He asked, Evan was kind of dense

            “Apparently not.” Evan grumbled

            Teaching Evan how to wash dishes was a chore in itself. Evan was pretty helpless. Malcolm finally threw him out after he’d broken the fourth plate. Evan sulked on the couch, he felt so useless, Malcolm was taking care of him, and he couldn’t do anything to repay him.  Maybe there was something he could do.

            “M, I’ll be back in a little while” Evan said and dashed a way. Malcolm stared after him, where was he off too? Malcolm waited for several hours, it was getting late. Evan wasn’t coming back, he’d probably went to find someone else to be with for the end. Why didn’t I just sleep with him? he thought. Stupid upper. He picked up his clothes. There were some blonde hairs on it still. He hugged it close to him.

            “What is wrong with me?” Malcolm yelled out and fell into bed. The uniform smelled of Evan still. Malcolm sighed, he was gone, but still he was glad he’d met him. Evan Askins the un-upper.

            He felt himself flying through the trees, yet he didn’t have wings. He was flipping like acrobat. He felt like a g.e. He landed perfectly on a sandy beach. This was a paradise. He stared at the crystal blue water that went on forever. He dug his toes into the white sand. He looked hungrily at the fish swimming in the ocean.

            “Dinner’s on me darling.” A voice said from behind him. It was Evan, wearing only a striped loin cloth and holding a row of fish. This was paradise.

            “We’ll eat here okay.” Evan said. Malcolm followed him to a beach hut, it was their hut. But they had other homes too. Evan’s hair had grown long, it was half way down his back. Malcolm ran his hands through it. Then feeling bold he began to caress his back. He ran his nails lightly across his back, just how he knew Evan liked it. How did he know what Evan liked?  Evan dropped the food onto to a mat, then whirled around and pulled him into a deep kiss.

            “You keep that up and dinner will never be done.” Evan said kissing him again.

            “There’s something else I’m hungry for.” Malcolm said.

            “I only live to please you.” Evan smiled carrying him into the hut. He tugged impatiently at the loin cloth. He inhaled at Evan’s beautiful bare body.

            “It’s been so long angel.” Evan hissed. “You were suppose to be here days ago.”

            “I’ll make it up to you.” He promised. Evan shoved the now naked Malcolm down onto the bed. Evan nibbled on Malcolm’s ear, deliciously.  Then he began kissing his neck. Malcolm closed is eyes, this was heaven. He had no idea where he was, but he never wanted to leave.

            “I love you so much.” Evan said full of emotion

            “And I love you Evan” Malcolm replied opening eyes. He felt his heart stop. Evan was gone, Wilson was here instead.

            “I told you I’d find you again.” Wilson snarled. He tried to push him a way. What had happened, why was he here? Where was Evan? He couldn’t stop Wilson. He had him pinned down, it was happening again.

            “Evan!” Malcolm cried out.” Wilson stop!”

            “I’m here, M I’m right here.” Evan said. He had just gotten back to see Malcolm thrashing about in his sleep. He must have been having a nightmare. He heard him telling Wilson to stop. He must have been reliving what had happened to him. He had to wake him up. He shook him harder.

            “You’re dreaming!” He shouted to him. Malcolm opened his eyes. He looked around in terror. He glared at Evan.

            “Bastard, how could you leave me?” Malcolm whimpered and then he hugged him tightly. “It was so real, Wilson was here.”

Evan was back, he was safe. It had only been a dream but he still... He only had to make it through a few more days and he’d never have to worry about Wilson again.

            “I’m sorry M. I didn’t mean to be gone so long.” Evan said, holding him tightly.

            “Jerk.” Malcolm said sleepily. Evan smiled; Malcolm seemed to be okay now. But he had a death grip on him. Evan leaned over slowly so he could lie back down. He tried to pull away.

            “No, you can’t go.” Malcolm insisted pulling him in close. Evan was now on top of him. Why am I struggling, it’s not like I mind being close to him, Evan thought. Their bodies were intertwined, it was wonderful. It was also pure torture. His body had responded instantly to Malcolm’s closeness. Evan stared at Malcolm’s sleeping face. He was close enough to kiss him.

            Malcolm’s lips brushed up against his. Evan held them there. This isn’t a real kiss Evan told himself. Malcolm smiled faintly falling back asleep. Evan watched him for as long as he could, before finally drifting off himself.
