Hungry Like a Wolf

[emikaelson]

"Would you like another pancake, love? I know we used up a lot of energy this morning." Elijah glanced across the breakfast table at his lover, and reached a hand out to clasp with his. It'd been a beautiful morning of making love and snuggling together beneath the covers-- assuring one another of their truest love. Having Cain home the last few days had been a slice of heaven for the couple.

Turning to grab a few more pancakes from the counter, Elijah held the plate out to Cain, and then suddenly his world went black and white, everything imploded and he was floating in a million little pieces again, ash against the sky tossed by the wind into the night, and then he wasn't.

Elijah awoke in a field lined by a large forest. High grass tickled his skin, and he realized that he once more was stuck with only the clothes on his back and what he carried with him. Was he dead? Where was the welcoming committee, Niklaus, Hayley? If not where was he and where was Cain, because he didn't want to do this life without his love.

Suddenly the original's heart began to pound in his chest as he sat up and looked around. There were hills set off in the distance along with the full forest blanketing the area south of him. He certainly wasn't in Duplicity anymore. Had they gotten tired of him? Was this what they did to people? Straightening up, the hybrid undressed and took to his wolf form, not wanting to deal with the wash of emotions that had set up a slow terrifying place in his gut.

Instead he became the wolf and turned to his natural habitat. Howling once he took off at a run into the forest to see where he was and if anyone (Cain) was there for him to find, or if he'd have to try and kill himself to make it out of here.

"So the city did do something completely new then. It gave you love that will last a lifetime in me. I'm new. You're new to me. A healthy, loving, forever relationship. I could never have imagined that even fifty years ago." Elijah felt the same. He could have gone around disliking Duplicity for everything that it had done to him, all the ups and downs, but mainly it had done one amazing thing and that was Cain. It gave him the man he was going to spend the rest of eternity with.

"I still say that I'm the lucky one because you could have picked from a large handful of people in that city. There were plenty of immortals living there and you still found me, and chose me out of everyone else." The original would always be in awe of Cain's love for him, and how he waited even when Elijah was such a uptight, downright arse and made a fool of himself for someone that would never end up loving him as much as Cain did.

Lips found lips and lingered there, hovering as they spoke tender words of affection and then brushed whisper soft kisses back and forth while fingers carefully treated Cain's body to a casual perusal of some of his more sensitive spots. It wasn't meant to excite, so much as to share a completely personal and intimate moment together, celebrating all that they had here in this private world of theirs. Maybe they wouldn't be here long-- but they didn't know it.

Even if the world changed tomorrow, they'd still have their eternity together and no matter where it was, they would find a place together where their lips and bodies would always be able to share soft , gentle touches like this.

"Yes, you were new," Cain agreed, smiling softly in the darkness and although he couldn't see Elijah's expression fully in pitch black, he could imagine the soft returning smile on the hybrid's handsome face as he said those words, telling him of his awe and love for him. "You're making it sound like I made the wrong decision," the immortal joked, but he was leaning into those touches, feeling the soft caresses and not growing aroused from them, but beloved. Those hands were quite familiar with his body by now, yet they kept searching, exploring in this unencumbered environment to renew their familiarity with the territory.

Cain placed a tender butterfly kiss on his lover's skin in return, unable to truly see where he was kissing but enough to know it was in Elijah's shoulder area. He kissed along it when he found out it was list just above the collar. "There were other immortals... But I loved you first. Regardless of how it started, there was no changing that." Cain wasn't a man who loved easily, or let people get inside his walls, but Elijah had bypassed them all and there was no way Cain could have stopped his own feelings after that.

He sighed softly, his arms going around to embrace his lover to him under the stars. There was very little moonlight out tonight, but enough for him to see the other's slender outline.

"We should name this place heaven. Valhalla. Or whichever version of afterlife that has an absolute happiness like this. Peace and love... Never thought I'd get it. But you are it, and this must be what heaven is like." Maybe that was what happened, that he finally found an end and this was the version of the silver city that awaited him. Who knew. Cain just knew he was happy.
