Where? When? Gah!

Chapter 6 - The Blood (NC-17)

It was past twilight by the time Will once again woke. He could hear
talk and clatter downstairs, so assumed that his earlier visitors were
still in residence. He felt a gnawing ache in his stomach and thought
it might be a good time to find something to eat.

There were several people sitting around the supper table. Buffy,
Willow, and Xander looas ias if they were just finishing consumption
of some type of flat pie. The smells coming off the dish were quite
marvelous. He edged closer to the table, hoping he would be offered
a slice.

He could feel the tingles start up again as his proximity to Buffy
increased. He forced a silent "she cannot hurt me" mantra in his
head, unknowingly inching closer to Xander all the while.

"Hey Will. Are you feeling better?" Xander immediately noticed Will's
discomfiture and offered him his seat at the table. This allowed
Xander to stand directly behind his partner, giving silent comfort.

Will was still very much confused over his obvious feelings for
Xander. Not only was he strangely and continually aroused by the
young man, but he also felt waves of comfort and security emanating
from him. Where proximity to Buffy caused his nerves to go on edge,
Xander only induced calm and warmth.

He nodded thanks when Willow offered him a piece of the pie and bit
into it gladly. The taste burst forth onto his tongue, spicy and sweet
at the same time. It was excellent! Yet the aching feeling in the pit of
his stomach was not being assuaged. He frowned slightly at that,
catching Xander's eye.

"What's wrong Will?" Xander felt as if that were his new catch
phrase.

"I feel as if I haven't eaten for days, yet this delicious dish has done
nothing to abate the hunger." Will answered as he absently chewed
on another bite.

"There's a reason for that Will. Uhm...I'll be right back, just keep
eating." Xander gestured at the pizza.

When he returned he was carrying a warm mug filled with a dark
viscous fluid. "You need to drink this Will." He handed the mug over.
"Consider it like a protein drink."

At Will's confused expression Buffy commented, "Xan I don't think
they had protein drinks back then."

"Oh yeah." Xander scratched his chin in thought. "Uhm...okay, it's
like a really thick tea?" He suggested.

Still skeptical, Will raised the mug to his face taking a small sniff. He
dipped his finger into the liquid and watched as it dripped back into
the mug when he raised his digit. His face contorted in disgust when
he realized what the concoction actually was. "Eeegads man! You
can't *possibly* expect me to drink...*that*!" He blurted without
thinking.

Xander knelt down beside his lover and once again placed his hand
on Will's knee. He rubbed soothingly over the joint as he tried to
exp Wil Will's need for blood. "Do you remember how I told you we
got together?"

Both Buffy and Willow's eyebrows rose in surprise. Will only nodded.

"Well while I was you I felt exactly how you're feeling. I felt the deep
ache as the hunger grew and grew. And I felt just as
disgusted...and...afraid as you do. I didn't want to do it either. But
believe me when I tell you that the hunger is just going to grow
stronger. The ache is going to consume you, until you t tht think
anymore." Xander paused for a moment to let his words sink in. He
continued his ministrations on Will's knee, trying to induce some
comfort to his spiel. "You'll drink it eventually. Because...well
because you can't not drink it. It's either that or sinking your fangs
into one of us, and you can't do that either. Not with the chip. At
least not while we're uhm...Let's just say you can't, okay?" Xander
wasn't about to explain that he could bite him without pain only during
their nightly sexcapades.

"It's not as bad as it seems." Xander gently lifted the mug in Will's
hand until it was just touching his lips. "It'll make you feel better, I
promise. Just concentrate on that. Concentrate on how good it
makes you feel."

Will closed his eyes and took a shallow swallow of the thick fluid.
When the first taste hit his cool tongue he groaned at the immediate
response of his body. His stomach had begun to feel as if there were
acid eating away at his lining, but as the blood made its way down his
throat he felt as if a cooling mist were invading his entire body.

Again he felt himself growing hard. His senses felt magnified and he
could smell the earthy scent of the man kneeling before him. By the
time he finished his drink the throg wag was almost unbearable. He
wanted to reach out and grab er her hauling him to rub up against a
body filled beyond bearing with need. He was unaware of the growl
leaving his lips.

Xander's eyes were nearly black with desire. He realized as soon as
Will took the first swallow what his reaction would be. The same as it
was every time he fed. His lover's growl brought him out of his lusty
haze. He needed to concentrate on Will.

"It's okay love. Juslax.lax." Xander petted Will, enclosing him in a
loose embrace as he whispered words of calming comfort. "It's
perfectly natural. Nothing to be ashamed or afraid of."

Will nuzzled Xander's neck. He was going purely on instinct, the
blood lust having been soothed his other appetites were coming to
the fore. He inhaled deeply feeling his penis respond to the familiar
scent.

Both men focused completely on each other they forgot the other
occupants of the room. The girls faces were extremely red, their
breathing fast and shallow.

"We should probably go." Willow leaned over to whisper to Buffy,
who nodded acquiescence. Neither girl moved.

Xander was lost in the feeling of his lover. Every action Will made
mirrored their many nights together. His loss of control allowing
Spike's baser instincts to take over. Xander groaned as he felt Will's
tongue peat tot to lick at the base of his neck, just grazing his mark.
The front of his jeans were soaking wet as he grabbed hold of Will's
arms and forced them both to stand.

Will immediately stepped forward bringing his entire body into contact
with Xander. His arms came up to wrap around Xan's waist as he
thrust his hips forward. They both groaned at the contact, Xander's
head coming down to allow their lips to meet.

The kiss was powerful sweeping them both up in the moment. Will
thrust his tongue into Xander's mouth, exploring the warm wet hollow.
The kiss continued as they ground their cocks together. Their lips
broke apart to allow Xander a breath, and then without warning Will
sank elongated fangs down into the same spot Xander had chosen
years earlier.

They both exploded in white hot flames. Pleasure shooting through
their bodies as they spurted inside their boxers. Xander held onto
Will as the last of the wracking shudders left his body. He placed soft
sweet kisses along his lover's neck while he whispered words of love
in his ear. "Spike." Kiss. "Love you." Kiss. Kiss. "Needed that so
bad." Kiss. Lick. Kiss. "Love you."

Will stiffened in abject horror as he realized what he'd just done. Not
only had he just performed sexual relations with another man, but he
had somehow bitten him as well. Fangs! He'd definitely had fangs.
Could it be possible? Was it actually true? Was he a vampire?

Xander found himself carrying Will up the stairs for the second night
in a row. His heart broke as he realized that part of the shock that
had sent him over the edge this time had to do with their interaction
after his feeding. He'd thought for a moment that his Spike had come
back to him. He let the tear fall as he tucked Will in once more,
placing a soft kiss on his forehead before turning out the light and
returning downstairs.

As Xander ascended to the second floor, both girls took a deep but
shaky breath. The arousal in the room was so thick even with their
muted human senses they could smell it swirling in the air. As one,
they turned to one another their eyes dilated and their lips slightly
parted.

"Wow." The word was whispered in unison.
