Chapter 6

The early morning was a bit cool outside, making the van's tinted windows hazy, but inside the three sleeping creatures didn't feel any of that since they were like a pile of puppies under the covers. The different kind of wings also kept them warm, though they looked a bit odd as a mixture like that.

Either way, Matt slowly opened his eyes, finding himself half-way on top of Corey with an arm draped over his chest and a leg over a thick thigh, head resting in the crook of his neck. Taking a deep breath he inhaled the musky demon scent then blinked a few times, seeing Paolo being plastered against the king's other side, bald head resting on Corey's stomach as he was hugging the warm middle with a satisfied smile in his sleep.

Well... last night went much more differently than Matt expected, but as he tried to size up the state of his... pair, he could feel that his plan seemed to have worked. Involving Paolo and his powers kept Matt from sucking away too much from the demon's energies. Now he felt more balanced and even better than last night before things got... heated in the back of the van. Matt was a bit more relieved and felt grateful for the guardian's help. Maybe he should talk about some things with Corey once they have a chance to be alone again...

As if sensing that his pair woke up, Corey opened his eyes and caressed the naked back of Matt along with the soft dark feathers. "Morning... You okay? I should move you two off a bit… Getting a little crampy..." Corey said with a smile on his deep raspy morning voice.

"I'm up!" Paolo sat up suddenly and clearly a bit dizzy and just blinked at the other two before rubbing his eyes and bald head. "I think I check out that gas station around the corner and bring some gallons of coffee and some sandwiches…" he mumbled and stumbling went to gather his clothes.

Before Matt could answer he had time to only exchange a look with Corey as he moved a bit away from the nice warm body, a pleasant shiver running along his caressed wing and back as he chuckled a bit from Paolo's reaction.

"Just don't break your face in your hurry," he said with a fond smile on his face as he eyed the nice naked butt before the guardian pulled his underwear and jeans over it. "Such a pity..." he mumbled, noticing how the bald guy's cheeks and ears turned red. He found it kinda cute. "Though coffee and food sounds very fucking nice..." he said on his even deeper voice too.

"I'll be back soon. And check on Brent and Joe too..."

"Cool..." Matt nodded then suddenly it was just the two of them again. Clearing his throat, he rolled onto his left side and looked at Corey. "Morning... I think I'm... okay. I feel... kinda satisfied. You feel better too."

Corey was used to the messed up morning guardian angel and just smirked to himself, moving a little his limbs as Paolo went out.

"Wings, Goldie," he whispered directly into Paolo's head and chucked.

"Glad to hear that. I'm okay, yeah. His powers always make me wanna giggle all day like he does," Corey added sitting up and underlined his statement with a giggle. "You want him too... I can feel it…"

Matt couldn't help himself but smile from Corey's giggle. He found him kinda cute like that too. And he never would've thought he'd think like that of the demon that’s been devouring him in his nightmares for a year or so. But here he was, lying in the back of a van naked with the long-haired creature, who still had that intense gaze like the first time he saw him.

"Hm, interesting..." Matt hummed, wondering how Corey would feel if he fed on Matt like in those dreams. Probably Matt'd overthink everything or something. Shrugging, his black eyes met Corey's as Matt made his wings disappear behind him. "I'm glad involving him worked. You know... since I seem to be an energy vampire now, we might consider inviting him into bed in the future too. I don't want to constantly weaken you. You need your strength too. I'm sure you have your enemies and all..." he said then with a sigh sat up too to reach for his tee.

"He's cute and hot and was kind to me too. I won't deny it that I find him attractive..." he said and as he lifted his arms to put his tee on, he suddenly felt a strange dull burning sensation on his side. Looking down, his eyes widened. "What the hell?" he asked, staring at his skin on which the outlines of a koi fish in Japanese style formed. The colors of the fish were appearing right in front of his eyes, causing that strange burning sensation.

Corey changed to his human look also and from Matt's reaction turned to him. "Nice... You’re Japanese. Koi is the symbol of evolving. Looks good too," he said pulling his pants up. "You know how Paolo feels about me... You want us to be a threesome?" he asked looking deep into Matt's black eyes. "There will be more marks before you gain your true powers..."

Trying to get over the surprise the tattoo-like mark caused in Matt, he rubbed along it, feeling his skin warmer there, but it didn't hurt like a real tattoo would have. "Yeah... I know what it means..." he said quieter, getting lost in his thoughts a bit as he finally hid it with his T-shirt that he pulled down on his long upper-body.

Returning that deep gaze, Matt chewed on his bottom lip a bit. "I guess Paolo looks like this because he went through a lot of changes too... And... if not a permanent threesome for now at least... maybe just an occasional threesome? I don't know. It depends on how you and Paolo feel about it. And please don't come with the 'I'll do whatever pleases you' thing now. I want to know how you'd feel about such a setup. I don't want to use Paolo or make him feel bad... especially because I know how he feels about you. Also for the same reasons I don't want you to do this only because you think it would make me happy... Though I could feel your... urges and lust for him..."

Corey sat at the edge of the bed and listened to Matt with a raised brow and a small smile.

"Just one mark on you and look how dominant and demanding you became…" he giggled. "Last time I sat here and you stood there you were ready to die and fade into the void. Now you want to fuck Paolo," Corey giggled again and pulled his tee on also.

"Yeah of course... Like you said, he is cute and hot and very, very skilled. Of course I lust after him too. If I wasn't, we would have never been messing around in the first place. And before your thoughts go there, it was not my powers that marked him. He had mixed up with all kinds of creatures before. But I really would do whatever pleases you, and I think he will be always used. Because of what he is... But he is content with his life. And even would be happy if we included him. So yeah... the answer is yes to the wild mixed breed orgy, my Asian beauty," Corey giggled at Matt, wiggling his brows. Damn it was strange even for the demon…

After putting on his briefs and jeans, Matt sighed, running his fingers through his curls. He felt far from dominant or sure about what he wanted. He was simply just trying to make this situation work without sucking Corey dry for real like the fucking vampire he became. He hated it but also understood that it was a necessity. And he believed that it was just going to get worse. No matter how many times he feeds on Corey. Maybe soon not even Paolo's help will be enough and he'll fade away for good... As he was meant to in the first place since his fall...

Though his dark thoughts were put to a halt from how Corey called him and the giggling and wiggling of his brows. "Uh... don't do that. It's creepy," he smiled a bit. "And I'm not as dominant as you think. Probably your demon powers have something to do with the way I act around you, not just the bond. But I'm glad you have no objections against this... arrangement... I'm sorry for all the trouble..."

"Yeah... Okay…" Corey said and cleared his throat. Looks like he should stay behind his walls after all. So with a sigh he walked to the front to turn the battery and the radio on. Fetching a map and his notebook out, he started looking up the next stop they should be headed to.

Seeing that and feeling that Corey pulled away to close up behind his walls again only made Matt feel worse. He probably just fucked up again or misunderstood something. Again. Will he ever figure things and Corey out? Why was it somewhat easier when Paolo was around? It was so much easier to talk to him and joke with him. With Corey... well, it was like walking on a mine field sometimes.

"Gonna take a piss," he announced and climbed out of the van to take a deep breath from the cool morning air and do so in the woods. Then he walked back to the van and just... stayed out there kicking some stones with his hands in the pockets of his hoodie looking just as miserable as he felt.

"No… Don't lose your sanity!! Here's the coffee!!" Paolo yelled at him from a few meters and giggled. Things were strange enough for him as well and now he came back to see and feel the tension in these two too... "Here… have one. And tell me..."

Smiling a bit at Paolo as he looked up, Matt took one of the paper cups and took a careful sip. "Thanks. It's good," he added, meaning the coffee as he contemplated how much to share with the guardian angel. "It's so much easier to talk to you. I just... can't seem to be able to say the right thing when we aren't in bed with him. It's like walking on eggshells. I understand that this situation is strange and complicated to him too. I understand that he wants to help me because it makes him happy... But he keeps putting up his walls... And I usually don't know what I do or say wrong. It's... frustrating..." he huffed then took another sip to stop getting angry at himself.

"He is led by his feelings. You try to analyze everything. He is passionate and you are logical. He needs to work on his sensitivity and you on your overthinking. In bed you both just go with the flow," Paolo said with a shrug and sipped on his own cup of coffee. "So… what will await me if I go in there? And… thanks for last night... I owe you one," he added with a bright blush but looked deep and honest into Matt's eyes.

Being it put so simple made Matt pause and think for a moment, the cup nicely warming his fingers as he stared ahead of him. "I guess you're right... It makes sense... I'll try to keep that in mind... Hm."

Looking back at the short angel, the black eyes eased up a bit and his smile was genuine this time. "Probably an ice-berg but maybe he keeps that only for me," he shrugged. "But we talked before that and I suggested him that at times you could like... join us like last night. To... keep us in balance. He's okay with that. If you are. We know how you feel for Corey and... don't want to hurt your feelings or give you false hope or any of that shit. So we understand if you say no. But... your help will probably be needed one way or another. I can't keep him weak no matter how happy feeding me makes him..." he whispered his last sentence with a serious and worried look, hoping that Paolo would understand the seriousness of it. After all they've been on the move with Corey not to draw attention on him either.

"Yeah... He is closed up to not get hurt or... how to say… not mess up things. See? You two are alike just react on the same thing in different ways. He is sensitive to feelings and moods and such. And if he feels something off, he closes up not to cause that or make it worse. You on the other hand start to voice the many things that rush through your head. But it's all just… respect for the other's personality and insecurity in yourselves," Paolo patted Matt's shoulder. "And don't worry. I understand it. I don't have hopes regarding him. Lost all that when I felt his bond to someone else. But I want to be his guardian and keeping him strong is better for all of us. Thanks for the offer. When you want it, I will accept with pleasure," he added with a dirty grin to make Matt laugh.

"Then I'll try to keep my mouth shut, I guess," he chuckled. "I just... I'd like to just exist in peace and be around people who care and are nice. I don't want to be alone anymore. This last year was... rough on me too. And although everything and everyone is so new to me and I'm still adjusting, it's better than always sleeping with one eye open... There's so much here. Not just what might come out of this thing between Corey and me, but you, the other guys and the band and all... I'm looking forward to see where our path will lead us..." he confessed then laughed a bit.

"Yeah, mate. I bet you will. I'm looking forward to that too, to be honest..." Matt winked at the short angel, letting his dark eyes linger on him for a long moment. "Okay, let's... eat something and give Corey his coffee before it gets cold. Also we should get back on the road. Brent and Joe still in one piece?"

"He loves you, Matt," Paolo only said that with a nod and turned to get inside the van with Matt. "Yeah, they are okay and I will go with them once our dark leader tells me the directions. So you two can talk over things... or overanalyze them, both with your own methods," he giggled and let Matt to open the door first. It was his "home" after all...

Well, Matt knew that. He could feel that Corey loved him. Especially when he was taking him the other night. And with Paolo's words ringing in his ear, he tried to just finally accept that, even if he found it a bit as an alien concept. Not because of who Corey was, but because no one has ever really showed real love towards him except for his mother when he was a kid. So he was simply not used to it. Especially since they barely knew each other. But then again Corey was an instinct-based creature who could probably love easier. Damn, now he just sounded like an emotionless cold prick... He really should stop overthinking things and just go with the flow...

Rolling his eyes on the clever joke, Matt finally slid the van's door open and got in first, taking the bag of food from Paolo so he could give the coffee to Corey.

The demon felt most of the emotional ups and downs Matt lived through outside the van. Now as the angels came in, he looked up at his pair with a little worry in his brown eyes.

"Thanks, babe…" he took the coffee from Paolo and moved to sit with the others at the small table. "Here is the place. Check in to all the rooms. We will arrive half a day later. The usual plan goes."

"Okay, Mr. Big Boss!" Paolo giggled like always and Corey laughed with him as they packed out the sandwiches.

Not knowing really how to be around Matt, the demon just ate in silence looking over the next club's program booklet.

"The usual plan means that we go on separate ways to avoid being followed. Don't worry, he is strong and can fight… I saw him fight before and, damn it's a hot sight…" Paolo even whistled shortly. To make Corey giggle again.

"He only says that ‘cause the place burned down." That was Corey’s first sentence aimed at Matt since they came back. And the spontaneous act made Corey bite his lip and look down at his sandwich.

"I'm sure it was a majestic sight..." Matt smiled. His words intentionally had a double meaning and he was sure the other two would know he didn't mean just the burning place but also a fighting Corey in all his demon glory... Thinking of which, Matt had to admit to himself that the visuals in his head were more than nice...

But trying to rather focus on the plan, he nodded that he understood and took a bite from his ham sandwich. "It's a clever plan, though. I think I would've done things similarly if I wasn't alone in the past year," he added after swallowing and took a sip from his coffee too, letting his black eyes linger a bit longer on Corey. Frankly, Matt found him cute like that and understood that he was trying.

Clearing his throat, the half-breed's question directly addressed him. "Can you tell me exactly why you are always on the move? Just wanting to stay under the radar or is there another reason too? I've been just wondering. And in case my pursuers learn about me being with you guys, they might become your problem too..."

"Well..." Corey put his coffee down after washing the last bite down with it and looked at Paolo for some mental support. "I left my home. Wanted to look around and all kinda stupid teenage things. But the world is strange. And I had to learn that my mere existence is an issue to many, like to your dear brothers... Because of my family roots, I have these... urges to find something... or someone... But they hunt me. Using special bait and... special creatures to track me and my energy down. So... I'm hiding and playing music with these guys," Corey mumbled the end, getting totally red and rather lowered his head to hide behind his long curtain of hair, finding some wisdom at the bottom of the paper cup.

"Only he and one of his brothers are still alive," Paolo added silently. Then clearing his throat he stood up. "I go with the guys then. Be safe and see you tomorrow noon or else I go after you and beware of my wrath…" he tried to joke and left the pair to themselves.

"Think we'd be able to handle you, Goldie..." Matt said before he could stop himself, only making Paolo giggle to himself as he closed the door then silence fell on the van.

Turning back to the "hiding" demon, Matt found himself leaning closer as he was sitting next to Corey by the small table. Sliding a hand to the buff man's cheek, he lightly turned his bearded face towards him and stroked the long hair out of the brown eyes. "I'm sorry you have to live like this and that... you've lost so many siblings. It must be hard," he said on a gentler tone, letting Corey feel that he meant it.

"It's... not your fault…" Corey whispered and leaned to the cool hand of the angel. "We are... feared so people hunt us. It's simple. I told you I was looking for you…" he added looking up into the black eyes and pulled Matt closer with his strong arms, pecking the pink lips with love and tenderness.

"I know... And had no idea to what lengths you were willing to go to find me..." Matt said after the peck, caressing Corey's beard. "No one has ever done something like that just to find me and be with me... I want you to know that I appreciate it. I'll try not to overthink things that much, okay? Just... try to be patient with me? I'm such a mess, but I... I like being around you, you know..." he confessed and now it was Matt's turn to blush deep.

"You don't need to... I mean… be as you are. There are many changes going on in you already," the demon said and nuzzled his head to Matt's. "I just don't want to make it harder for you. I will try not to pull back inside my shell when I overthink…" he smiled at Matt. "I really want to do anything that makes you happy and helps you become what you are. Your powers are not awake, you know that? I'm sorry that I overreact sometimes... I just don't know… I guess I don't know how to handle things either in this situation," he confessed.

"I know you want to help me and give me what I want. I could already feel it clearly a few times. Just wasn't sure what to do with all that," he chuckled a bit, pecking Corey's cheek. "I'm trying not to fight things and just go with the flow. Baby steps, I guess," he smiled then nodded with a more serious expression.

"So I was told and I can also start to feel it. Something is building up inside of me. The koi fish was its first manifestation. It's swirling inside me. Especially after I fed on your powers and blood. It's like... waiting for it to be ready and overflow some kind of boundaries in me... Not sure if it makes any sense to you... But I can feel it..." he added then gave Corey a soft smile. "It's okay. We're gonna slowly figure things out. It's so fresh for both of us. Paolo will help too... Speaking of whom... we should finish our breakfast and hit the road if we don't want to face his wrath," he winked jokingly then did just that.

It was going to be a busy day for them.
