不死鳥マルコ

—Suddenly feeling familiar warmth against his defined back and around his waist, a soft smile spread over the phoenix’s full lips, even if it was a tired one, it still held tenderness, a tenderness that was easily described as love, the emotion that always danced in rich azure hues whenever  the bright male behind him was near.These few weeks had been heavy with work and Marco knew they still would be for a few more as it was just that season, but that was of course no excuse for him having been so absent in his lover’s everyday life, even if some of his brothers would say that he has all the reasons to with his workload.

Finally turning around, Marco connected his lips with Ace’s forehead tenderly, lovingly as his arms calmly circled around the slimmer waist of the raven before he rested his forehead against the freckled male’s with a small smile.A single slender hand lifted, tilting the nearby warm chin before he leaned down, kissing the familiar lips slowly and passionately, showing no hurry as his thumb ran along freckled skin that made the phoenix think of a star filled night-sky.

Pulling back his hand, Ace waited for Marco to turn around, which he watched intently. That sight was definitely some eye candy, and he couldn’t help but reach out already to caress along the tender skin.

“Your body definitely doesn’t tell ‘old man’..” With a smirk, Ace sat on top of his lover’s behind, so he could perfectly reach all of Marco’s back. Soon he already began massaging the sore muscles, a task his warmth easily helped with. And simply because he felt like it, Ace leaned forward to kiss and nip along Marco’s shoulder.

Feeling the warm skin against his cooler made the phoenix sigh as his muscles relaxed under the warm sensation that filled his body due to his lover knowing exactly how to work his slightly sore muscles.

“Is that so, yoi? That’s very nice to know..” Marco spoke amused as he briefly faked slight surprise before a deep chuckle vibrated in his throat. 

“We wouldn’t want that, would we?” Ace teased with a grin, before crawling onto the bed Marco already laid on. “Wanna get a massage as well? Y’know, to get you relaxed and loosen up those sore bones.” His hand playfully caressed along Marco’s thigh to emphasize his words.

“How could I possibly say no to such a nicely asked request? I’ll help all you want~ Gotta go easy on your poor back after all.”

“Can’t keep up, old man?”

Ace was annoyed he couldn’t see what was going on, the darkness in the forest making him unable to see anything that wasn’t close by, so he solely had to rely on his hearing. And that really wasn’t all too comforting when something could just sneak up to him.

But luckily, Marco seemed to have picked it up too, and could hopefully inform Ace what was going on, since vampires could see in the dark, unlike him. However, him being suddenly grabbed and carried off nearly knocked the air out of his lungs, it happening way too fast for a protest. But after somewhat getting a hold onto Marco to gaze over the blond’s shoulder, Ace saw the impact on the tree, the exact place where they had just stood. His eyes widened, and he could barely make out the creature’s outlines that had suddenly appeared, especially with the speed Marco moved with.

“Wha– What was that?!” His dark hues still stared behind them, where the creature was following them, although much slower, which was a bit relieving to be honest. Normally, Ace would protest by being carried like that, but he knew that Marco had saved his ass, so he’d keep quiet.

“It wasn’t a werewolf, was it?” Something told him it wasn’t, at least he guessed they’d stay away from a hunter together with a vampire.

--Marco listened to Ace, but right this moment the pure-blond was too busy musing about why this werewolf was after them, for yes, it was one, the elder could smell it as if someone had shoved a corpse to his nose, said nose wrinkled in disgust at the wet dog-like smell that caught in it. It was a long time ago since he had ran into a werewolf, so it was understandable that he had forgotten the smell, but this was a grim reminder of it as his strong legs moved like the wind, elegantly pushing off the ground and avoiding the deadly mouth behind him, it wasn’t that he couldn’t kill the creature, for he could, it was just that Marco wanted to know more before blindly attacking, like why this one was after them, it could of course just be hunger, but it felt as if there was another reason.

“Quite the opposite, it was, is, but something is wrong, normally they don’t hunt like that,” Marco spoke surprisingly calm as he gazed back, only to see the werewolf nowhere to be found, seemingly it had given up though, that did nothing to slow the pure-blood down as he kept on running, wanting to get as far away as possible.
