Summary: I was asked quite a while ago to write a
story about how Rudolph and Tony got together. I know it's late but . . .
Better than never?
C&C would be helpful in the planning of future updates and stories.
<Part 1>
Lessons never changed. They'd been boring hundreds of
years ago and they were boring now. The only difference was that now he could
sit in a designated buiding in uncomfortable chairs and tiny desks and hear
the same kinds of boring things. Well, there were a few other differences.
Back then he hadn't been quite so old or seen quite as much. Back then he
hadn't lived through a curse upon his whole family. . . and back then he
hadn't known Tony. Admittedly school was looking better and better.
It had been five years since his family regained their
mortality. Two years since he and Tony had found the old graveskeeper Gregory
had turned and gave the older brother his vampirism back. Greg just hadn't
made a good human. He hadn't been happy with it. Rudolph had never been happier.
He was in love. And he was with the boy he loved. True the boy he loved had
no idea that he was the object of the ex-vampire's affections, but just to
be near him, and to be his best and closest freind, that was enough.
Ru's gaze shifted from the lecture about a time period
he'd 'lived' through already, to the redheaded boy who had captured his heart.
Tony was still as innocent and pure as ever, but he was growing up. His face
and body had slimmed and become that of a young man. His hair was free of
the gel he'd spiked it with as a child. His body was muscular and babyfat
was no more, and he had the faintest dusting of hair above his lip. But what
Rudolph loved most of all was the splash of freckles that had appeared across
Tony's nose and cheeks.
"Mr. Safrelbrei?" The teacher watched him carefully,
waiting to catch him in his daydreaming. They had begun this small war at
the beginning of his sixth grade year when he'd proven the teacher wrong in
front of the entire class. Then there was his backing of Tony's vampire theories.
. . neither of them were very popular with teachers or students. But they
didn't mind a bit. "Maybe you could enlighten us."
He rattled off another educated answer to his history
teacher and gave him a smug grin. //You can't beat me at the past, I know
things even the historians have forgotten.//
The teacher looked disappointed but nodded and turned
back to the board. While Ru returned to his favorite passtime. Tony watching.
//Gods I'm as bad as my sister.If I start spouting bad poetry hopefully Gregory
will put me out of my misery.//
The bell rang and the students poured greatfully into
the halls and out the doors.
"Summer at last!" Tony grinned and shouldered his backpack.
"Any plans?"
"None. You?" He asked back.
"Nope. Just you and me and a certain secret swimming
pond. I love Summer."
Rudolph was trying not to blush at the thought of last
summer when they'd gotten up the nerve to go skinny dipping in that vey pond.
He'd been so scared that Tony would notice his interest but Tony, being Tony,
hadn't realized. The thought of his freind naked and grinning in the sunlight
just after he'd taken off his clothing had fueled many a fantasy.
"What are you thinking about?"
He smirked to hide his embarrassment, "You sound like
a Scottsman now."
Tony grinned, "Remember when I couldn't even understand
my babysitter?"
"Tony, 'I' couldn't understand her!"
They laughed and closed their lockers then headed for
Rudolphs house. It was close to the school so they walked home each afternoon
and Tony's parents picked him up in the evening. But not tonight. He was
staying the whole weekend! //How will I get through this without slipping?//
"Ru?"
"Hm?"
"You're awful quiet today. Are you ok?"
"Just thinking."
"About what?"
"Things."
"What kinds of things?"
//Like how tight your jeans are today. Yum.// "General
topics. Summer. Fun things to do."
"Well stop thinking and lets do some."
The dark boy almost groaned. //If only.//
They walked up the drive and Tony looked around curious.
"Where's your car? Aren't your parents home?"
"I don't know. . . they didn't have any plans. . ."
He opened the door with his key and found Gregory sitting on the couch with
all of the shades drawn to block the lethal sunlight. "Gregory, where are
mom and dad?"
"They had to go to an emergancy meeting in America.
Something about stocks and bonds. Sounded kinky."
Tony looked blank and Ru was again reminded how very
young he was. "When will they be back?"
"Monday. Don't worry though, I called Tony's house,
his parents said I could babysit you, as if you needed it."
"Well it's kind of hard to treat me as an adult, even
if I have live longer than both of them combined."
Gregory looked distant for a moment, "Ya know, your
parents are awfuly calm about you spending the night with a vampire watching
you."
"I have cool parents."
The vampire in question shrugged, "Well I'm off to get
some tasty treats, what will you two be up to tonight?"
"The three Ms."
A blank stare was his only response.
"You know, Movies, Music and Munchies?" Tony clarified,
unsure if the vampire was teasing him or not.
"Oh THOSE Ms."
Rudolph snorted and pulled Tony back toward his room,
"Come on."
They stayed up until passed two am watching old horror
flicks and eating sugar coated whatnots. Finally though, Tony began to drift
off. Right into Rudolph. The older boy stiffened as Tony snuggled against
his side and groaned in frustration. //Tourcher thy name is Tony.//
"Mmnnm."
"You're alright there, go to sleep."
"Hmnnm."
//Gods Tony if you move your hand an inch closer to
my groin I will not be responsible for my actions!//
"Hey Ru just wanted ta tell you I'm back and. . . oh
my Gods!"
"Gregory!" Rudolph whispered harshly.
"You have a stiffy for Tony!" He exclaimed in the same
harsh whisper his brother had used.
"Shut up! You'll wake him!"
"I knew about Anna but how long have you. . .?"
"It's just a nighttime thing."
"Some kinda thing!"
"Gregory!"
"Fine ok, geesh! Like I would say anything."
Rudolph closed his eyes and sighed, "Gregory, I'm sorry.
I just don't want Tony to know."
"Why not?"
"He might start to feel uncomfortable around me." The
boy looked down at the sleeping boy, "As things are they're fine." He insisted,
"I'm happy just being his freind."
"You have got it so bad."
He looked away but didn't bother disputing the acusation.
"It'll be ok you know."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. Tony's accepted everything about you, and vampirism
is a much bigger thing than homosexuality you know."
"But toward him."
Greg shrugged, "You tried to eat him before."
"Yes but he was obsessed with vampires."
"Maybe." His brother nodded then grinned, "Or maybe
he was obsessed with you."
Rudolph watched his brother walk out of the room and
then looked down at Tony's sleeping face. "Could you see me like I see you?
Would it be too much?"
"Mngle."
"Tony." He smoothed the sleeping boy's hair and smiled
fondly. //Maybe I should. . . well, I have the whole summer to think about
it. If he could feel the same. . . that would be. . . Maybe.//
<Part 2>
Tony yawned and burrowed deeper under the covers and into
the slightly rough pillow. He stretched a little, arching his shoulders and
let his eyes slide open to the slightly darkened room. He could see the sun
just peeking in around the black out curtains but. . .
He slowly turned and looked up into the sleeping face
of the best freind. The American's mind went over everything he could remember
about the night before and he realized he'd fallen asleep while watching
movies. Rudolph must have drifted off and slid further down the couch. Somehow
they'd ended up twisting during the night until Tony was laying between the
taller boy's legs with his head resting on Ru's chest and his zippered shirt,
which accounted for the roughness. Ton yawned again and decided that he was
comfortable and didn't want to wake up yet. He lay his head back down and
closed his eyes.
Ru hadn't really changed much since he became mortal.
Tony decided, as he began to drift off to sleep again. Obviously he'd grown
up quite a bit. Even as a child he had been lean and muscular and that hadn't
changed. His muscles were more developed and his legs were longer, his hands
were large and strong. Tony noticed things like that when it came to Rudolph.
He always had. The ex-vampire had grown tired of his chesnut colored hair
and dyed it black once again, and living in a house with very little light
because of his brother's . . . condition, had made him very pale as well.
In fact there were times Tony forgot he was mortal, since he looked so much
like the boy vampire he'd once been. Unlike his brother, Ru prefered to go
unadorned and usually just wore black pants and a t-shirt. In the winter,
Jeans were traided for leather and a leather jacket was added, but it was
still Ru. Tony had given up wondering why he felt so comfortable in the other
boy's presence. They were freinds. Freinds noticed when their freind looked
good right? Perfectly normal. And freinds could fall asleep on each other.
It meant they were close enough to feel okay about it.
With that last thought Tony slipped back into dreaming
and missed Ru's eyes watching him with an odd expression that the American
would have never understood. Tony had been raised in a very sheltered family
in many ways, regaurdless of Vampires and visions. It wasn't that Tony was
stupid, or cruel, or anything like that. It was just that Tony was raised
by a mother and a father and even though he still showed no interest in girls,
he didn't even realize that a boy could be interested in him. That was a
talk neither of his parents had felt comfortable giving.

"Tony?" a cool hand shook his shoulder, "Hey! Tony! Wake
up!"
The red head rolled and landed with a thud on the floor,
"Ouch! Gregory!"
"Ana is going to be here soon and you don't want her to
see you two cuddled up like that do you? She'd flip."
"Huh? Why?" Tony blinked and yawned again.
Gregory looked at the childish early teen and raised a
brow, "Why? Well she's still got a crush on you."
"So?"
The vampire blinked, "So she wouldn't like to see you
getting cozy with her brother."
"uh. . ."
"Unholy fuck!" He exclaimed all of a sudden, "You don't
even get it do you."
"Get what?"
"That there's more to relationships than boys and girls."
The redhead groaned and fell back to the floor, using
Ru's foot as a pillow. "Greg'ry it's too early for your stories okay?"
"It's not a story it's real life." Gregory shook his head,
"Tony, guys can fuck other guys, did you know that?"
"WHAT?!" The young man sat straight up and stared at the
vampire.
"Shhh!" He warned and checked to make sure Rudolph was
still asleep. "Don't wake him up!" He whispered.
Tony whispered back, "What are you talking about?"
The vampire motioned for Tony to follow him. Once they
were in Gregory's room he shut the door and turned to face the mortal. "Look.
Rudolph would kill me if he knew that I was doing this okay?"
"Doing what?" Tony started to back away.
After routing around under the bed, Greg pulled out a
magazine and threw it at the red head, "Look at that."
Tony looked down and his eyes widened in shock as his
jaw fell open. He bent to pic the book up like it might bite him if he wasn't
careful. There was a picture of a slim, pale man and a big, muscular guy
covered in some kind of shimmering oil and he was . . . they were. . . the
big man's penis . . . the small man was sucking. . . "Oh my God."
"What? That? That's nothing, keep looking."
Tony sank down against the wall and gasped as he felt
something in him reacting to the pictures he was looking at. He looked down
at his jeans and touched the bulge there, hissing at the feeling it gave
him. "But. . . but dad said that happened when you see a pretty girl." He
said quietly, in a scared voice.
Gregory shook his head, "When you see anything that makes
you excited. A guy can make you excited too. You can even go all the way.
Look at the pictures."
The younger boy nodded and kept looking, some where along
the way the faces on the pictures began to change for him, it came to a head
when he turned to a page with two young men, one tan and one pale. The pale
one was sitting right on top of the other and the tan man's cock was actually
in the other! Tony closed his eyes and shivered, "Ru."
"Ha! I knew it!" Gregory whooped and Tony yelped and dropped
the magazine guiltily. He forgotten the other boy was there. "You have a
thing for Rudolph!"
"Rudolph. . ."
"Yeah, you know, hard, compact, smooth skin, nice as-,"
"He's your brother!"
"Hey! Brother o rnot I can appreciate what I see and my
brother is growing up to be hot as Hell. You two look good together actually."
Tony swallowed, "We do?"
"Perfect. Like you were ment to be."
"But I don't even know if I. . ."
"Have you even gotten a stiffy around him?"
"What?"
"Has your dick gotten hard when my brother's around?"
Greg snorted at Tony's full facial blush.
"Uh. . . I thought it was just a puberty thing."
"Lucifer! Tony you're so innocent Ru would have been waiting
forever if I hadn't said anything!"
"W. . . waiting?"
"Fer you to take him! Haven't you noticed he get's the
same way for you?"
"I. . . I thought. . ."
"You thought wrong, whatever you though. Ru is totally
ass over tit for you and you haven't noticed and he's to afraid he'll scare
you off to say anything."
Tony looked down at the magazine again and then to Gregory,
"Ru want to do THAT? With ME?"
"Give the kid a prize. That's what I've been trying to
tell you!"
"Oh."
Gregory watched him nervously. "What do you mean, oh?"
//Maybe this wan't a good idea.// "Don't you feel the same way?"
"Uh. . ."
"Shit." He lifted Tony to his feet and looked him right
in the eyes. "Okay, listen Tony, I though you liked him too, that's the only
reason I told you any of this. Ru won't try anything, like I said, he want's
to be your freind most of all. Just. . . don't hurt him okay? Act like I
didn't tell you anything."
Tony opened his mouth, shut it, then opened it again.
No sound came out.
"Do you like my brother? I mean are you his freind?"
"Yes."
"Then just keep being his freind okay?"
"Okay."
"And you better not hurt him. Just forget I said anything.
If I was wrong about you liking him, I'm probably wrong about him liking
you."
Tony nodded and Greg opened the door and let him go back
to the living room.
The red head sat on the easy chair and watched hsi ebon
haired freind sleep. //But maybe you weren't wrong about me.// He thought.
//What should I do about it?// He frowned and looked around the room until
his eyes fell on Ru's laptop sitting in the corner with his school bags.
//If it's okay for guys to be together maybe I can find something about it
on line. . .// He plugged the small computer in and logged on.
After ten minuets he was rock hard and even more confused
and ready to kill Gregory for telling him about this guys with guys stuff!
There was so much on line that he didn't know where to look! He looked over
at the couch and gasped. Ru was laying in a tangle of sheets. His shirt had
ridden up to expose one pert nipple and his hand was laying on his inner
thigh, very close to a prominent morning erection.
The redhead panted as he tried to get his breathing under
control. It was the most erotic thing he'd ever seen! He shut the computer
down and bit his lip when Ru moaned a bit and writhed in the sheet before
settling down again to sleep. "Oh God." He whispered, "I. . . I have a crush
on Ru!"
