Total Eclipse of the Heart

Chapter 1:

I Just Can't Help Falling In Love With You

Raenef smiled drowsily and snuggled underneath his blankets while listening to the soft even voice of Eclipse. Eclipse tried not to stare at the beautiful boy underneath the comforters. Since they had first met, he had grown quite a bit. His legs had elongated and were a clear creamy color that Eclipse daily ignored. He also ignored the smooth and creamy length of his arms. Raenef turned over and sighed. Eclipse sighed as well when he noted that Raenef was asleep.

Sunset over the castle was always a glorious affair. Raenef stared out over the lands and smiled he could see so far away. Eclipse stood for a while leaning against the wall watching Raenef, he was not concerned about the sunset, what concerned him was his growing love of his young master. Raenef grinned to himself vaguely he remembered a pleasant dream of Eclipse lightly brushing his lips across his in the dark of night. Raenef could not decide if he had been asleep and dreaming or awake. Raenef looked behind and sighed, Eclipse was nowhere around.

Eclipse stalked the hallway and prepared dinner with half a mind thinking of his weakness the night before. He had waited and checked to make sure that Raenef was asleep before he had kissed him. The soft sweet lips were so pliant underneath his that for a moment he had considered waking the Demon Lord and alerting him to the desire that he was finding it more difficult to contain. Eclipse barely ate any of his food, the castle was too quiet now. With just him and Raenef, all he could do was dream.

Raenef sat through dinner just as distracted as Eclipse. Somehow he had to prove to his guardian/ teacher that he was an adult. Raenef smiled and stood from the table, “Eclipse, you know something... I love you.” Raenef said. Leaving Eclipse sitting in stunned silence, Raenef wandered off to his bedroom to read and study, though he was the demon lord, he still had a lot to learn.

Eclipse sat behind his desk and listened as Raenef recounted the ancient tales of previous demon lords. He stared at him and thought long and hard about Raenef's little admission. Was he serious, Eclipse wondered while he cleaned up the dinner mess. When he was done, he stalked from the castle and sat in the garden appreciating the night blooms. He felt a familiar wind and looked up. “Lord Krayon, to what do I owe the... surprise of this visit?”

Lord Krayon grinned and the wind died down, he sat opposite Eclipse on the low bench and sighed the sigh of the truly heartbroken. Eclipse mimicked the action. “My darling has not accepted the desire that I have for her.” Krayon sighed again and Eclipse sighed as well. “You seem down,” Krayon looked at Eclipse who turned away. “Have you fallen prey to the boy's charms then? And to think, while working with me you never fell in love and I am far prettier.” Krayon fluffed his long blond hair and smiled at Eclipse. “I shall take hope and never give up, how could my darling not come to love me?” In a blaze of wind, Krayon was gone.

Eclipse looked up to see Raenef standing on the balcony overhead looking down at him. He opened his mouth to call a greeting but paused at Eclipse's serious look. Raenef frowned for a moment and turned to go back inside his bedroom. He heard a sound on his balcony and gasped when he noted Eclipse standing there blending in with the deepening darkness that swept across the land. “Raenef, we need to talk...”
