Jason sits on the bedroom floor, a stack of boxes by his side. Spread out on the floor in front of him is a piece black crushed velvet, roughly three foot by three foot. The door is shut, but not locked, a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the outside of it.

He opens the first box and pulls out two antique katar blades and a antique Nubian dagger. He smiles while holding the dagger, the smell of old blood still on it. He carefully sets the three blades on the material, then turns to the next box.

Opening it, he finds two Khukuri daggers, along with two smaller knives. He places them on the velvet, continuing though the boxes.

Some of them are normal, functioning, daggers. Others are merely for decorative display. Two of them are replicas.

The last three though, those are for Gabe. A steel katar, a Horus dagger, and a simple Greek dagger.

He looks down at the arrangement before him, occasionally picking one up and looking it over then setting it back down on the material.

"Damn, going to have to buy a locking case now."

"Gonna need to get you a real bedtime,' Gabe murmurs, kissing Ella atop the head before carefully laying her down in her crib. Pulling the leopard print blanket over her, smiling down at her in the dim light of her kitten nightlight.

"Sleep well, pretty girl. Daddy love you.' Silent a moment, realizing how easily those words came to him. How easily she had taken his heart. Only one other person had done that to him. Stolen his heart in a moment, with a single breath of knowing them.

And it was that person he sought now.

Slipping through the house, pausing to slap Jase on the shoulder and wink at Em, laughing as she scurried up the stairs, only pausing to jerk her head at Jase, grinning as he took the steps two at a time to join her. Smiling, realizing those two were on a crash course with love. Or at least one of them was... shame it was the one that was underage and out of control.

Pushing open the bedroom door, only pausing as he realizes his hand has brushed something. Blinking, stepping back to look at the sign. His frown is quick, the hurt in his eyes flashing only a moment.

"Sorry, pup. I'll letcha be.' Not even looking in, just... stunned as he backed up, pulling the door closed.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Looks up at those words and blinks, trying to figure out what just happened. He'd heard Gabe start to come in and then...

"FUCK. Gabe, wait!" Pushes himself up and kicks a box out of his way as he goes to the door. Pulling it open, he quickly looks for his mate, catching sight of him.

"Wait, I didn't mean you."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Turning, only a few steps from the door. "Man, it's cool. We all nee...' Then the rest of the words, fighting once more. This time not to show relief.

"Didn't mean to invade. Didn't even look for the sign. I guess... I mean, given the new agreement and all, makes sense I should check those things first, huh?"

Slinking back, taking Jason's hand even as he leans in to kiss his husband. 'If you want yer privacy, I can letcha be."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Squeezes Gabriel's hand, backing into the bedroom. "It was for them, not you. They've been bugging me all day and Ella was in one of her clingy moods for a while and I just wanted some peace to unpack a few things."

Smiles and shakes his head, kissing Gabe again. "You're always welcome to disturb me. Now, take a look while I get rid of the boxes."

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Purring as he crosses the threshold, eyes closing to revel in the love he so often felt for this man before him. His mate.

"Ella is not as bad as Zane moping around. Never as bad."

Arching a brow, turning to look over the floor. And his purr falters, a hard shiver running through him at the sight of the blades before him. "Oh jesus fuck.'

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Grabs the boxes and starts throwing them into the living room figuring someone else can pick them up or let Ella play with them. Talks as he does this, bouncing on the balls of his feet, hyper.

"It's your fault, you know. Show me something shiny and I have to get more. I got the katar first and it just snowballed from there. The Khukuris are my newest ones, just got them yesterday."

Kicks the last box into the other room and closes the door, locking it. Turns and walks over to Gabe, wrapping his arms around the man, kissing his back.

"I bought a couple of them for you because they just seemed like something you would..." Finally notices how still Gabe is and frowns. "Gabe?"

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

He could hear Jason. He knew he was there. His scent, masculine and sunlight and sweat tinged with what Gabe often thought of as wet dog, the beast within, filled his nostrils.

But it was as if it all came through a tunnel. Distant. Far away.

Another world.

Or the memories that came, unbiddden yet oddly welcomed, where the far away place. Another lifetime.

Stooping, picking up one of the smaller, less ornate knives. Staring at it before lightly running it along his lip. Yet not over it, just below his mouth, cutting the tender skin just below his lips. Sucking his lip in, suckling at the blood that welled up fast, sudden. Moaning even as he blinked, the sharp pain, the taste of blood...

Dropping the knife, shaking his head.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Sits on the bed watching Gabriel, tensing when he brings the blade to his skin, fighting to stay still. Sucks in a breath at the moan, his body reacting instantly.

Blinks, instinctively reaching out to grab the blade before it hits the floor, wincing slightly with the blade cuts into his palm. He stares at it for a minute, then holds it out to Gabe.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Groan turning into growl as Gabe latches onto Jason's wrist. Eyes bright, staring at his mate as he brings the wolf's palm to his mouth. Not merely lapping up the blood. Biting, suckling, fingers digging into the tendons of his mate's wrist, holding him still as he takes that deep taste.

Mouth stained with blood, leaning in to speak against Jason's shoulder.


"I can't believe I miss it. The pain. Giving. Taking. Hurting. Screaming. How could I want it this bad.'

Goosebumps on his skin, voice quivering as did his form.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

His eyes never waver from Gabriel's, even as his body starts to shake. Bites back a moan of his own as his mate makes the small wound larger, the bites tearing the skin a bit more.

Closes his eyes and turns his head, placing a soft kiss on Gabriel's temple, his own voice shaky.

"It's part of you now, was a part of your life for so long..."

Pulls away, taking off his shirt, laying back on the bed. Looks at Gabe as he stretches his arms above his head, lust, need and even a bit of fear in his eyes. Offering his flesh to Gabriel, knowing how close to the edge his mate has been, how easily it would be for him to lose it.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Every breath shuddering, whining with the exhale. Blood filling his sight, his senses, taking over and possessing him. And then Jason is sacrificing himself, offering his golden form to his lover as if Gabe hadn't nearly killed him only a few nights ago.

Staring. Stunned into silence a long moment before stooping, eyes still one Jason as he picks up a blade. Not even caring which. Just needing the steel in his hand.

Stalking the bed, slowly crawling up it until he straddles his mate's hips. Free hand reaching up, tangling into Jason's hair, yanking his head up to kiss him hard, whispering against his mouth before breaking it.

"Scream if it hurts, pup. Feed me with yer pain, yer fear. Please... need it as much right now as I need yer lust and love.'

The blade flashing, the first cut shallow, short, just barely touching the skin of Jason's chin, drawing first blood.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

The Horus dagger. Eyes widening when he sees that blade, thinking of the damage it could do. Almost panting already, erection straining against his jeans as he watches Gabriel straddle him.

Winces at the pain in his head, moaning into the kiss. Starts to nod, Gabriel's words thrilling, yet terrifying him at the same time, when that first cut comes.

A stinging sensation, not real pain, but enough to make him gasp. Hands twisting, grabbing the blanket even as the rest of his body relaxes, waiting.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

"I love you.' The words said softly, reverently, almost saddened. Fingers untwinging as Gabe sits up, staring at Jason's torso as an artist might stare at a canvas.

The first two cuts, flashing on either side of the wolf's collarbone, designed not for pain or depth, but blood. The bone close to the surface, forcing a sudden spurt when the skin was split.

The next down his side, over the ribs for the same reason. Not looking for pain yet, seeking to add depth to his master piece, the blood that would become his paint.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Mouthing the words back at Gabriel, his mouth dry and throat tight as he lays his head down on the bed. Doesn't take his eyes from Gabriel, fighting to keep the fear from them and failing. Shivers as the blood from that first cut starts to drip down his neck.

Doesn't feel the next two cuts until after the second is completed. Gasping again, arching up towards the blade as it moves from his skin, the sting sharper this time. The scent of blood suddenly heavy in the air, just as heavy on his throat where it was starting to pool.

Manages not to jerk away or gasp with the next cut, merely shivering as his hands tear at the blanket.

Through it all, he never looks away from Gabriel.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Staring into Jason's eyes, gaze flickering from there to the next mark but never faltering to move from one to the other.

In control. Unwavering.

Hand steady as he raises it, laying it to the side of Jason's throat and pulling slightly. Nothing deep but the tender area sure to hurt, to burn.

Bending then, his mouth finding the wound, suckling hard at it.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

His eyes on Gabriel's, thinking that the blade will cut into his shoulder. Feels the steel against his neck and goes completely still, not even breathing.

Winces, tears springing to his eyes as a whispered 'Oh Fuck' falls from his lips. Then feeling Gabriel's mouth over the wound, sucking in a deep breath. Fire, the pain feels like fire burning through him straight to his cock, making him buck up against Gabriel.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Laughing, lips locked around torn flesh and Gabriel laughs. His own hips dipping, grinding denim to denim, prick to cock in a dance as old as mankind.

And even as he continued to take in Jason's blood, his life, the blade came to his hip, slowly cutting down through the denim, not caring as they sliced through the skin beneath.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Trembling, panting, need building, blood no longer trickling from the shallower wounds. Doesn't care that his blood is staining the blankets or that his hands have already torn through the fabric.

Feels the tip of the blade against his hip and waits for it to cut through his jeans. It doesn't register at first, but then the pain is blinding, making him lightheaded as the steel points rip through the flesh, almost to the bone. Gulping for air, struggling and then screaming.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

"Fuck yeah.'

Snarling out the words, head lifting, lips stained with blood. And then Gabriel bucks, body surging down over Jason's. Grabbing the denim and yanking, tearing into it, seperating the it to bare the wound. The long gash, welling with blood.

Purring, purring his face to the wound. Rolling about in it until it stained his face and hair, lapping and suckling even as he painted himself with his mate's blood.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Whimpers, fighting to stay still as pain rips through his body. Nerves screaming as every touch to the count aggravates them, sending fresh shocks of pain across his hip.

Panting as the pain starts to dull, heart racing as the adrenaline kicks in. One hand moving, fingers threading through Gabriel's hair, not pulling just holding.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Yanking at the cotton fabric once more, splitting it until it hung on by one leg.

Purring as he wrapped his hand around Jason's prick, jerking him hard, trying to make it hurt even as it brought pleasure.

"Too quiet. Too controlled. Stop being Raina's bitch and scream for me.'

Snarling the words, snapping at the wound, head jerking to tear at the flesh.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Shivering at that sound, loving it even now, lifting into Gabriel's hand. Then screaming as the pleasure of that touch is overridden by pain. Feels muscle tearing, blood spilling from the wound as he screams again, tears spilling over to fall down the sides of his face.

His hand falls to the blanket again, ripping at the sheets the way he want to rip at Gabriel's skin. Writhing in pain, fighting not to push his mate off of him.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Taking up the knife, rising up over Jason once more. Staring down into his mate's face, his own features coated. Blood over his cheeks, down his chin, obscuring all but the bright gold of his eyes as he stared at this man he loved, the one he'd married.

Bringing the blade up high, slashing down.

And stabbing it hard into the headboard until it quivered. His mouth slamming into Jason's, cutting his own lip as he kissed his mate hard, rolling away and onto the floor.

Staring at the weapons... Shaking, hands in tight balls to not pick one up. To slash into his mate, into himself.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Opens his eyes, watching Gabe. Doesn't look away, shudders wracking his body, the fear and pain Gabe was looking for in his eyes.

Tries to ignore the knife and ends up closing his eyes, trying to breathe. His whole body jerks at the sound of the blade hitting the wood, a pained moan in his throat when Gabe kisses him.

Blinks at the sudden loss of Gabe's weight, staring at the ceiling. Moves his arms, starting to sit up, only stopping when his body screams in pain, vision going black for a second.

Stays still to let the dizziness pass, fighting back the wave of nausea. Slowly sinks back down to the bed, tears in his eyes again. Just lays there, trying to breathe.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

"Don't move, pup.'

Tones low, distant. "Let it pass. Let your body remember it should have blood.'

Picking up another blade, the small one and moving up onto the bed once more. Bringing the knife in a slashing motion down his arm, the blood welling up quickly, splashing down onto Jason's wounded thigh.

"I could have.. the artery.'

Paling, that need for pain and blood gone in the terror that he could have killed his mate.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Trembles as the blood hits the wound, wanting to tell Gabriel not to waste it, that he would be okay until it hits him that it won't be okay. That Gabriel can't call the munin and that it would take days for him to heal instead of mere minutes.

Shakes his head slowly, fighting to stay awake. Knows that he needs to stay awake.

"Didn't... fine. I'm... fine."

Whimpers again as his stomach rolls, fighting back the urge to vomit as he reaches for Gabriel's hand.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

He knew it wasn't enough. He'd gone too far. Too much. Without a pack, withou...

Leaning up over Jason, eyes going bright gold, seeming to be alive with fire.

"Shift.' The word whispered, brushing his lips to his lover's. Looking sad, almost apologetic. "Shift!"

And with that he pushes. His beast rolling, screaming, crashing into Jason, through him, forcing the wolf to the surface, making him break through the skin.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Closes his eyes as the power hits him, unable to fight it this close to the full moon. Rolls to his side, away from Gabriel, biting back a scream as the pain hits.

It's slow this time, his body exhausted, making it that much worse as the bones split and reform, skin stretching painfully. When it ends, he just lays there panting, not caring where he's at and too tired to move.

[lion-passant.livejournal.com]

Feeling his own beast under the surface. Roaring, screaming in need. But Gabriel held on. Sheer will, sweat glistening on his skin. Teeth elongating, nails to short claws. But he held human form.

Crawling up onto the bed, shaking as he collapsed next to his mate, face burying into the soft, damp fur between Jason's shoulders, inhaling sharply, allowing phantom fur to brush real.. both beast and man purring.
