His heartrate continued to climb as the sheen of sweat on his body glistened under the intense lights of the area, he could feel the eyes on him roaming over his slender form and undressing him with their thoughts. Joshua closed his eyes and let the overwhelming feeling of just letting go overtake him, it was a battle of wills and to the victor went the spoils. "Fear is the mind killer..." he told himself repeatedly, the mantra became his battle cry only he would hear and the men around him could never fathom the sheer force he held back with every move.

As the music quickly changed over to Zombie Nation by DJ Skribble, Joshua quickly turned on the spot and pulled the man grinding into him from behind into a heated kiss. On his tongue he could taste the alcohol on the other man and grinned into the other's lips "You taste like hard liqour and none of this fruity shit most of the people here order, and on that note completely disregard the watermelon jollyrancher that you may taste on my lips. All five of them..." As suddenly as he initiated that kiss he pulled away and moved on over to the bar not caring if the man followed him or not, it was four days since the incident on Alcatraz with Tyler and his twin and he needed this desperately to forget the feeling of being used like a cheap towel.

If he allowed himself Joshua could still remember the feel of the other man and exactly how it tasted on his tongue, yet it was these memories that he locked away less he form some kind of attachment with Tyler. "Yet we all know the next time i see him i'll be acting like a bitch in heat." he said outloud not realizing most of the people around him at the bar could hear him, raising his eyes to the bartender his lips curled into his million dollar smile. "Hey you! How about you get me and the five people to my left as well as my right a drink on me, 'cause i'm in the mood to forget and hell i might as well take everyone down with me." As the other clubgoers around him cheered his generosity, Joshua turned to face the dance floor looking for something more to quench the thirst he had....[/size][/center]

[Levi Storms]

Levi walked down the street, his eyes looking down on a card he'd been carrying with him for a couple months now. The business card of one Joshua MacArthur. Now that he'd decided what he wanted, and began to build his alliance, he needed to get some officers. Some of the strongest power users he knew. Those would be his leaders, and Joshua fit the bill all to well.

The male Jean Grey as he had introduced himself. It was perfect for a leader. He would know who was doubting him. Who had ulterior motives. Nothing would be kept from Levi. Of course, Levi could keep nothing from Joshua either. He knew Joshua at their last meeting would not be the one to go out and kill people, but maybe, just maybe, this recent prison. This insane capturing and even killing of his own kind would be the sway he needed to bring Joshua to his side. He needed to get his army, and he needed to get his brothers out of the prison. Tyler and Theo were some of his strongest allies when they were with him. He needed them to unfurl his master plan.

Levi put the card back into his pocket, and looked up. Before him stood the same club he had once met Joshua in. He'd go in here, give Joshua a call. Tell him he was in town, and to meet up here, and go from there. Levi grinned his half grin, and walked in through the doors. He inhaled deeply at the smell of alcohol and sweat. Really, a gross smell, but it was such a good place to be.

Levi scanned the dance floor. Their were some hot bodies out there, and Levi wanted nothing more then to catch them for himself, but he had a job tonight. He had something far more important. Slowly, the boy pulled his eyes from the floor, and pulled out his phone walking towards the bar. He dialed the number, and didn't bother to even look up to see that his call was not even necessary.

[/blockquote]

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Drink in hand and his wallet a little lighter, Joshua stepped out onto the dance floor and abruptly stopped as the sound of American Boy by Estelle started playing loudly from his Signature model mobile from Vertu. The sleak phone had cost him ten grand and it's strong speakers could be heard over the strong beat of the song "Slayerette Mortuary. Buffy bags ‘em, we tag ‘em! Joshua here!" he said with a soft purr wondering just who was calling from a number not on his contact list. There was a chance the caller was another stalker who had decided that the young grandson of Liam MacArthur was a prime candidate, on the other hand it could be something far more serious and for that he would have to play it cool "I generally don't answer calls from numbers not on my contact list as a rule, but i'm riding a seriously nice buzz here so who really cares. What can i do you for?"

Joshua's brows furrowed as his mind started tingling lightly at the feeling of familiarity close to him, a mind he had scanned once before was within his proximity and it was calling out to him like a beacon on the dark horizon of the seas. Slowly he turned around and caught sight of a face he didnt think he'd see for a very long time "Levi..." he breathed out softly and quickly ducked into the crowded dance floor letting the guy nearest to him grind his crotch into his side. Joshua grinned mischeivously and let his body sway and lose itself to the music "You gonna tell me where you are Levi? From the sound of it you're in a club somewhere, so does that mean i should get my hopes up and assume you're in town to collect me? Or are we bored and decided to call moi for some hot phone sex...if so i do have to inform you the real thing is way better, oh the things i can do with my tongue and your co-" His words were cut off as he took a drink of his watermelon jollyrancher, his lips split into a wide grin waiting for his response...

[Levi Storms]

"Well, Hello Joshy-Boy." Levi wore his crooked grin. Obviously he was much closer to Joshua then he thought. Unless the boy could read minds over the phone, he was in the vicinity, and the sound of the music echoing through the phone proved that the two boys were in the same club.

"Well, well, well. I was going to invite you hit the town with me tonight, but it seems you are already on that, eh?" Levi tried to keep the spunk in his voice, and his mind as well. He was tired. Two months of running, hiding, sleeping where ever he could find shelter, and barely eating had done a number on him. Levi was far more prone to angry outbursts, and had to focus on keeping his smug smile on his face rather then a scowl.

"So, where you at? You going to keep me over here waiting for a drink, or are you going to be a gentleman. You're not going to get anywhere with me leaving me hanging alone. Who knows, maybe this hot blond will buy me a drink before you get here." The man eying Levi to his right was now quickly looking away, having been caught staring. Levi grinned even wider. "Better get you're happy ass over here quickly!" Levi closed the phone, and pocketed it without waiting for a good-bye. Joshua would come over. Levi didn't doubt that.

Levi turned his back, and leaned up on the counter, dropping his head. He shook it, and looked back up, focusing on keeping his eyes open. He could pass out right here, but he had a job to do. He had to get strong friends or his brother was screwed. He opened his eyes as wide as he could, trying to force them to stay open. He then relaxed them again, and pushed the thoughts of exhaustion out of his mind.

[/blockquote]

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Joshua rolled his eyes as he put the phone back into the front pocket of his tight designer jeans, he could feel the memories slowly come to the surface reminding him just how well Levi was at playing the same game he was. Closing the lids over his jade green eyes he focused his powers on the mind of one Levi Storms and used it to lead him to his destination, the crowded dance floor parted for him giving him the first sight of the other man he had been waiting for. "You hung up on me." he said with a pout and leaned against Levi's chest with his head resting on the other man's shoulder "And your mind is all shitty right now! What the hell were you doing in Alaska you retard, oh...looking for followers i get it." Joshua pulled away from Levi to get a good look into the other man's eyes for the first time tonight and didn't like what he saw, sheer exhaustion and a tenuous hold on his emotions was what greeted him.

Reacting quickly he pulled out his cell phone and pressed the 'red alert' button that Steve had installed on his mobile for a quick exit whenever his charge needed one, knowing that in less than five minutes an armored black Escalade would be waiting for them out front he needed to act fast. "Okay you're really not in the mood for playing games from what your broadcasting loudly and the fact that you look like crap, so what i can do for you is offer you a bed...a seperate bed i wont be sleeping in. I'm not going to drag you to the car waiting outside as i distinctly remember that you flipped out last time i dragged you somewhere..." Joshua knew he was wearing his heart on his sleeve for this guy and the fact that he actually concerned spoke volumes, it wasn't everyday that he did something without expecting something else in return yet there was a pull he couldn't deny between them.

"You can tell me what you needed to tell me at my flat, it's a luxury condo that no one else has access to nor will anyone know what transpires there...all i ask is that you rest up completely there." His chest rose and fell as he sighed loudly waiting to follow Levi's lead hoping the other man wasn't too damned stubborn or fainted right in front of him, all he could do was wait patiently and put faith in Levi...

[Levi Storms]

Gah! Levi wanted to just hide his weakness. Of course, Joshua saw right through it. Levi had been dumb thinking he wouldn't notice. Of course, it would be simple enough. He could just make Joshua 'see' what he wanted him to. Forcing the images of a perfectly well rested Levi wouldn't be hard at all. Is that what he really wanted though? He could get a nice bed, nice food, and maybe a nice fuck. No he wouldn't pass up the bargain. Though, he wasn't going to allow Joshua to think of him as weak. Not for a second.

"Crawling around in my mind are you? Not the best idea. Could be a dangerous place. I think the sounds throwing you off a little though. While I have made plans to go to Alaska, I haven't yet gone there. That's my destination as soon as we are done here though." Levi grinned his half grin at Joshua, and offered him the empty seat next to him. "I am a bit tired, but you're going to have a drink with me first, right? I mean come on, we got to get the one night stand a little drunk before you rush them off, don't you?"

Levi chuckled, turning toward the bartender, and waving him over. He still wasn't sure how to go about asking Joshua. With any other person he'd asked to join his alliance, it was simple. We're going to make the world a better place spiel. Tell them we're killing the ones locking us up. With just that much information, most gifted people were totally up for joining. They all had friends and family locked up. They wanted revenge. They didn't know the rest of the plan though. They didn't know Levi's plans to manipulate them afterward. Levi's plan for a holocaust. Joshua would find out though. Joshua would know all that. How would Levi convince him it was necessary.

Levi glanced at Joshua, hoping he wasn't prying, and then back at the bartender who had just made it to them. "Whisky and coke for me, please. And whatever Joshy-boy here is drinking too." Levi looked over at the brunette to make sure he got something.

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Joshua smirked back at Levi and slid up to the bar ordering himself a shot of Patrón silver, being a regular at the club as well as filthy rich allowed him to just slide his hands over to the bartender's side and grabbed some limes along with a salt shaker. "Thought we should just both go for the hard stuff, ay Mr. Jack Daniels? Besides nothing says 'easy lay' like a hot guy doing a shot of silver tequila with lime and salt to boot, and don't worry about the sales pitch...i closed our link once you agreed." Deep down he knew that this visit to the big apple was not a simple social call and that the other man had sought him out for a specific reason, he had every intention to take a side in this 'war' on the horizon but needed to hear the other side's stance first. Joshua's eyes lit up when the bartender poured the clear liquid into the shot glass in front of him and then noticed that Levi already had his darker drink in hand waiting patiently for him "Quit looking at me like i'm a fucking old lady behind the steering wheel of a car. good liqour needs to be savoured."

His lips curled up into a devilish smile as he raised the back of his left hand to his lips and licked it teasingly, applying salt to the wet streak he grabbed a lime slice with the same hand as the salt and then the Patrón with his right. "I say we make a toast!" he said raising his shot glass and then let his serious face slide over "May you have: A world of wishes at your command. God and his angels close to hand. Friends and family their love to impart, and Irish blessings deep in your heart!...Oh and may you remember to put a condom on, cuz i don't feel like explaining to Grandfather why his grandson is up the duff." It could have been the other drinks he had earlier that made him say it but now it was out there and he for one couldn't give a damn, quickly he licked the patch of salt and then slammed the shot feeling the slow burn down his throat. Joshua shook his head swiftly and then bit down on the lime letting it sit between his teeth watching Levi, soon he would walk out of the club with this man and then let his future fall where it may....

[Levi Storms]

Levi picked up his own drink and quickly downed it. He thought of sitting and chatting for awhile, but Joshua already finished his. He didn't want to leave him just sitting around. Not if he wanted to be on his good side. He didn't want to waste the boy's time. Levi hated it himself, so he wasn't going to put Joshua through that.

Levi pulled out his wallet and put a twenty down on the table. It was a little more then needed, but Levi had stolen it. It didn't matter to him. He stood up, and looked down at Joshua. "Alright, let's get out of here. Go somewhere quiet and maybe we can talk for a bit."

Levi grinned, and held his hand out to help Joshua up. Levi wasn't sure what the boy would think. Would Joshua assume he was going to get somewhere alone so they could have a nice mack session, or did he know that Levi was here on important business. With Joshua's gift though, it was sure that he knew something was up.

[/blockquote]

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Joshua arched his back slowly to get rid of the stiffness that had built up since he had sensed the other man's presence, and with a slight nod of his head took Levi's hand into his own pulling himself up. "I'll ride you long and hard after our little heart to heart where you explain to me just why you're here in my city, i may seem pretty naive and dense when it comes to certain things but it's a role i play. I don't need to use this all the time...ya know?" He had tapped the side of his head with his index finger to illustrate the point and then lead the way to the front of the club where their vehicle was waiting. Joshua nodded to Steve in thanks for a quick response "Could you take me and my friend home? I'm tired of this scene and to be honest Max here promised to fuck me good when we got back to the condo...thanks!"

Quickly getting into the Escalade he smiled cheekily at Levi as his head of security glowered at the other man and yet his smile steadily melted away as he realized that after tonight he would no longer be able to claim neutrality in this 'war'. Joshua had three options to offer his allegiance to, one being his Grandfather and the whole evil organization bent on duplicating powers with an extra oomph...the other two belonged to Levi and Neil. "When we get to the condo, there's some things i need to explain to you too." he whispered to Levi and scooted closer to the other man giving anyone else the inpression that they were indeen in lust with eachother, his lips and teeth latched onto the other man's earlobe nibbling on the bit of flesh. Joshua's hand had let itself map Levi's chest and settled finally on the other man's crotch "Yes, something is most deffinitely up."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The large oak doors of his condo swung open as his keycard was accepted by his security system and both men entered the posh home of one Joshua MacArthur, the soft soled Ed Hardy shoes he wore squeaked sharply on the feshly waxed floor earning a slight tinge of pink on the man's face. "Welcome to Casa MacArthur, not to be confused with MacArthur manor which i guess for all intents and purposes is Casa MacArthur too...but more with the evilness. Uhhhh make yourself at home i guess, the living room is just around the corner and while you do that i'll get us something to drink...yeah." Joshua left the other man to do as he pleased while he high tailed it to the kitchen and collected his already frayed nerves, he repeatedly told himself that it was all going to be okay and that whatever choice he made would be the right one. Grandfathers be damned!

With bottled waters in hand he went looking for Levi and hoped the other man hadn't found some random embarassing photo of him that seemed to always happen, "So why don't you lay it on me stud. I gotta see what your offering before i taste your...alliance." He had found Levi finally and handed a bottle of water to him, this was it and there was no turning back...for any of them.

[Levi Storms]

Levi walked into the living room he was directed to. He scanned the walls, looking at the pictures and various things on the walls. There were some rather silly ones, but Levi wasn't in the mood to poke fun. He then walked to a window, and looked out at the blackness. He couldn't see very far, but it was quite obvious the yard was large. What was he to expect from a rich boy?

Levi rubbed his eyes lightly, looking down. How was he supposed to do this. For all his other potential allies it had been so simple. Throw the idea out there. If they said 'no,' fine. If they tried to fight Levi, he just had them kill themselves through some illusion, after a little torture of course. Joshua was important though. He wasn't just another pawn. He actually meant something more to Levi.

Levi shook his head, and looked up when Joshua came in the room. He let his grin return to his face, and took the bottle gratefully. "Well, thank you." Levi opened the top and took a swig of the water. Levi took a deep breath at Joshua's words. Joshua knew it was coming, Levi could only hope he hadn't made a decision already.

Levi moved closer to Joshua. "You know I have these plans. I want to make a better world for us! Something that we can live freely in. We can go about our lives without fear of what anyone thinks of our natural talents. I think it's time we take our freedom if they aren't going to give it to us. If someone doesn't stand up, no one will! Alcatraz is step one. That facility needs to be destroyed! Even if it mean destroying those who are trying to protect it. Too many of my friends are locked up there. Tyler thought of his brothers. This was all for them. They needed to be rescued.

Levi moved even closer to Joshua, wrapping his arms around the boy. "Anyone else, I don't care if they join. You though. There's something about you. I don't know why I am so drawn to you. I couldn't face not having you beside me on this though. Think about the great things we could do! The great power you could bring to our side."

Levi smiled looking deep into Joshua's eyes. His stomach felt like it was falling in an endless pit. He was shocked he'd made it through his whole speech without stuttering. What was Joshua doing to him. He'd always been so in control of himself and in forcing others to do his own bidding. Now, here he was, waiting for Joshua's decision The control: completely out of his own hands.

[/blockquote]

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

So there it was, the reason for his visit to his city was cleanly laid out upon the table for his own eyes to look at. The truth behind Levi's words echoed in the other man's eyes and showed Joshua all he needed to know without having to explore Levi's mind, it was in this moment that the young telekinetic felt like he was coming home. "Before you showed up all half-dead on your feet i had assumed that soon i would have to pick a side in this coming war, and before i tell you my decision i should come clean about a few things." He allowed himself to be held in the arms of the man he'd gladly give his all for and let the feeling of protectiveness wash over his being, "On January 2nd i encountered a man of considerable power who called himself Neil Tack and was behind the hostage incident in Ohio with their governor, i went in under cover and recovered the governor. In the process i was toyed with like some fucking pawn in his sick twisted games of life and death, needless to say i intrigued him enough for him to promise to see me at a later date."

Joshua could see the 'wheels' turn behind Levi's eyes as the other man processed what he was being told, it was in his hopes that by telling Levi all that has happened since last seeing the other man that they would have no need to fear the other. He knew without using telepathy that Levi understood that there could be no secrets between them as he could read minds and Levi could read him like a book, so the plan was to prove that the other man shouldn't worry about having his mind read. "There's also something else which is really random when you think about it, but probably even more so vital for you to know than some psycho after me. See my Grandfather is the one behind a lot of the missing power users in the past who know's how long, if i didnt tell you before the company is out to mass produce any abilities they can get their hands on and then either sell to the highest bidder or use them for his own agendas. And...he funded the construction of the holding facility on Alcatraz."

There was confusion, anger and hurt behind the dark almost black coloured eyes that compelled Joshua to hurry in explaination or risk losing what was slowly becoming "I went there with him recently but only to serve my own agenda, i had R+D create a device that would counter the effects of a nulifier or one with those abilities, it creates a dampening field around the person using it letting them use their powers no problems. The only thing is that i needed someone i could trust to use it to it's fullest potential in that hellish place...and i found them. Some twins named Tyler and Theo, they were pretty intense to say the least." Whatever this was between the two power users, it would not do to have Joshua explain that he had gone down on another man in front of his...boyfriend? Lover? It was too complicated right now to settle on something like this and he had yet to accept or decline Levi's offer.

"You're probably wondering what the fuck i'm smoking to have me bearing all of this to you, the truth is that i owe it to you to know all that is going on if i'm going to be of any use to you. Yeah, i'm saying yes Levi! I'm going to sound really fucking sappy right now, but whatever comes at us we'll deal with together and if it means i have to kill then so be it." There...it was done now and there was no turning back. He had made his decision to stand beside Levi in his quest for a safe world for them all, Joshua only hoped that all he had just told the other man didn't complicate things for he wouldn't know if there would be anything to break his fall if he were to...

[Levi Storms]

Levi listened calmly to all of Joshua's confessions. Joshua had a lot on his mind, and Levi was glad the man was willing to put it all out on the table for him to know. Levi looked to Joshua and addressed it all in order, though he was very shocked by some of it, and really wishing to talk about that more. He didn't let his enthusiasm show though.

"First, this man, Neil, whatever. We'll handle him if he shows up. What's he going to do against a whole army? He's going to have to fight off quite a few people to get to one of my officers, now isn't he?" Levi let his grin show again.

"Secondly, your grandfather? That is interesting. I didn't realize the ties were so close to you. Joshua, I am telling you this now," Levi knew there was no point in hiding this. Joshua surely knew. "I can not guarantee your grandfather's safety in this. I can't guarantee anyone's safety. I don't know how this will play out. If it's him or all of us, the choice will have to be made." Levi lowered his head slightly, not wanting to see any pain Joshua might have. He didn't know if the boy cared greatly for the man. It didn't matter though. It had to be done. Levi couldn't face having another force besides this one pulling on him though. He needed to save his people, his friends, himself.

"And, finally, the prison. I am pleased to hear you are helping the cause, and even more then you think. Tyler and Theo are not only two officers in our make-shift army, but also my brothers. You have picked some fine young men to trust this break out too. I only hope they didn't cause you any havoc. The two of them can be a... well, a handfull." Levi chuckled, drifting out of his 'leader-mode' and more to his friendly self.

"I am glad you are willing to help us Joshua. It means a lot to so many people. It means a lot to me. Really, it does." Levi looked down, his half-grin showing, and his face, actually turning red. That didn't happen to him. Not to Levi, the master of courting. He laughed a little, more to himself.

[/blockquote]

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Joshua leveled a look at Levi that said just what he thought of his Grandfather, "I grew up the pawn played by both my parents agianst eachother and for my grandfather's own bitter rivalry between him and my father. After they died i was taken under his wing and moulded into the perfect 'liason' for all of our facilities...as well as being instrumental in the capture of certain powers he wanted to exploit." His eyes held a certain fear in them that he could never begin to explain to anyone who didnt know exactly how ruthless his Grandfather could be when he set his sights on something, it was this fear that led Joshua to ally himself with Levi. It was the fear and more than that...the tug he felt in his chest when near the other man. "I think i made my choice before we got to this point, i was just waiting for you to ask me instead of having me run to you. So, i wont shed a tear if something were to happen to the old man...just don't turn your back to him."

Inwardly he was glad with how Levi took the information he suddenly gave him and that the twins he had aided in Alcatraz were infact the other man's brothers. There would be more time later to go over exactly what Levi wanted for him to do and in what capacity they both would act...either 'co-workers' or something of an item. Joshua hadn't disclosed what happened between him and Tyler as this thing that bound them to one another was fragile in this early beginning "Later i'll tell him." he told himself givin a slight nod.

"I'm going to have to address the elephant in the room or else it'll be up in the air and i for one hate things left like that. What i mean is that if i'm not mistaken, you have your arms around my waist Mr. Storms and earlier i distinctly picked up the thought of a 'nice bed, nice food, and maybe a nice fuck'." His full lips curled up into a cheeky grin as he waited for the other man to digest what was said and hopefully act on it, if not then he'd have to settle for taking care of this man till he was rested enough to go on his way. Joshua understood he might not be coming with Levi after this encounter and so was preparing himself to go it alone for the time being, later on there would come a time when Joshua would be called. Right now though...right now he would play the role of doting grandchild and work on the inside gathering any useful information to aide Levi's plans.

[Levi Storms]

Levi stared at Joshua. He listened to his words, and knew that Joshua was being honest. He was really in this now. He had chosen Levi over his own family. Clearly, he saw what the others saw. Who couldn't? A man so bent on destroying people who were just different. Still, Levi sensed something wasn't quite right.

Levi watched Joshua, and could see he was pondering something over quickly. He seemed to make a decision on it, and moved on. Maybe if the new topic was not such a pressing matter to Levi, he might have cared. He may have pressed Joshua till he knew what he was thinking. Maybe even teased him with some mind tricks. He felt no need to though. He let the hidden thoughts of Joshua remain as they were.

"So you are snooping in my mind. All this time I though you were behaving myself. Then again, I guess having my arms wrapped around your waist is a bit of a giveaway, is it not?" Levi chuckled and smiled at Joshua. He looked the man straight in the eyes. Levi slowly moved forward, and pressed his lips to Joshua's kissing him lightly. It seemed like the right timing. Levi only hoped that's what Joshua wanted.

Usually, the boy could get whomever he wanted. It was all a matter of tricking the other into seeing something different. He didn't want to do that with Joshua though. He wanted him to like him for eing himself. For just being Levi. He didn't want to hide behind some mask -- Not that he could do that easily with Joshua. He wanted to just be loved for himself. Not locked in some stupid game with the boy in front of him. He was tired of it.

[/blockquote]

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

"Well, i only really behave when it's necessary which means all the other times i get to be as naughty as i'd like to." he said to Levi savoring the sweet kiss that the other man had placed upon his own lips. Joshua had allowed his own arms to wrap tenderly about the neck of his lover sometime ago and enjoyed the feeling of running his slender fingers through the hair at the nape of Levi's neck. "I we're going to go for broke tonight, i want you to know i'm in this for more than just the hot sex im sure we're going to have. Sure there's been other times i've had sex for kicks, but they were only attracted to my image and what it would do for them to tell everyone they had fucked me into the mattress."

He didnt need telepathy to understand the flood of emotions and thoughts criss crossing Levi's eyes as they stared at eachother, they were in fact his own worries when it came to dating someone. There was always a chance that this would end badly for them or one of them might die in the days to come, yet for all those dangers Joshua would do it a hundred times again. "I didnt truly realize how bad i had it for you until you came to see me again and i want you to know that....i love you Levi. Just you and everything that comes with it, i hope that we can have the future you've envisioned and simply be ourselves."

Joshua smiled softly and ducked his head into the crook of Levi's neck where he trailed light kisses to the sensitive flesh, slowly he gave into the passion and pulled away from the other man to pull his own t-shirt off. His eyes never left the piercing gaze of Levi's for an instant and with a flick of the wrist turned on his stereo, the warm and tender voice of Al Green's How Can You Mend A Broken Heart filled the condo. "What can i say? Al Green's the man." Quickly he slipped out of his dark blue almost black jeans, leaving himself bare for only Levi's eyes. Joshua stepped forward in front of Levi pulling the other man's arms about his waist again, his own hands carefully pulled off Levi's shirt leaving him the only one clothed just in jeans.

"I want you, i want to be the only one you hold like this and you're the only one who gets to see me like this. I'm pretty selfish Levi and if we do this i don't think i could ever turn back, so yeah." The carefully built walls around his heart were laid bare for Levi allowing him to see how vulnerable he was behind the take no bullshit mask he usually wore, and with a short pause lead Levi to his bedroom.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

His lips pressed against Levi's in a passionate and heated kiss rivaling any he had experienced in the past, their tongues fought for dominace and his capitulated with ease allowing the other man to map his mouth. Pulling away from those lips, he trailed kisses down Levi's chest to kneel before this man and with nimble fingers unfastened the jeans Levi wore to pull out his prize. Joshua took a moment to study what was in front of him and then slowly took it in, the feeling of velvet like flesh and a heat not of his own flooded his senses. His right hand trailed up the other man's left thigh to softly hold and roll what he found, as this happened his mind slowly threaded a link between them giving Levi a kind of 'spidey senses'...but tuned to Joshua.
