39 Excelsior Place was the oldest house on the road.

In fact, 39 Excelsior Place was the oldest house in the neighborhood. Through the years Henrietta, Virginia had mostly kept up with the times. Old, decrepit homes were replaced with bright white houses and wooden fences. The convenience store went from locally owned to a chain. The schools got better. Wifi was available in almost every pubic place.

39 Excelsior Place did not keep up with the times. Crouching darkly at the end of the road, squatting fiercely in its dead end, the house was every bit the past it came from. Tall with gothic architecture, unwelcoming pointed gates, and black bricks the hollow eyes on its gray and white face. Huge windows were long covered with sheets, as had been most of the furniture. Once upon a time the house had been beautiful. Once upon a time, however, was a long time ago. In 2016, most people stayed away from 39 Excelsior Place. Smartly so. Its resident monster hated everyone.

Everyone except for its sole resident, elderly Mr. Greerish. Greerish said he had a family. Nobody ever game to visit so the monster called him a liar. Greerish placidly made excuses, such as They’re very busy and It’s been a while since we’ve caught up. Apparently Greerish had a favorite nephew: a baby when they last met. It had smiled at him once. No one else in the family smiled at him.

The monster called him an idiot. Greerish laughed and returned to his books. That was how they found the old man dead. With a pleasant smile and a book in his lap.

Fine. The monster didn’t care about Greerish anyway. It had only just begun to tolerate him. With his death, 39 Excelsior Place would be free of pests and the monster could hide away from the rest of the world until it eventually died. That was what happened to monsters. He’d read the old books Greerish kept so neat in the bookcase. They all ended the same. The monster was killed, burned, staked. The handsome prince got the princess. Or, in the monster’s personal interests, prince. Not that it mattered.

What the monster did not know was that there was a Will. A thing that had been executed by the local priest out of pity for old man Greerish. There was only one stipulation.

Everything I own, including 39 Excelsior Place, will be so inherited by my nephew, Adam Parrish.

Ronan wrapped his arms around Adam tight as they kissed, wanting nothing more than to have the other boy hard against his body. The fact that Adam wasn't repulsed by him was a miracle. To Ronan, Adam was magic. Maybe not the same kind of magic Ronan was, maybe not a dream, but... he was a magician, weaving magic between his fingers and breathing it into Ronan's heart.

Breaking the kiss and needing a minute to process everything, he tucked his face into Adam's shoulder and panted against his throat, eyes closed and clinging.

He'd cling tighter if he wasn't afraid of scraping Adam with his claws. Did Adam really not hate that he was covered in feathers? That his talons were dangerous? That they weren't even the same species?

"I love you," Ronan murmured.

"I love you back," Adam murmured, nipping softly at the curve of Ronan's ear.

Ronan loved him. Ronan loved him. Ronan loved him.

It was the best thing that had ever happened to him, without question.

Ronan loved him.

Adam hugged tight to him in return, pressing his face against Ronan's shoulder. As much as he wanted sex with Ronan, he also desperately just wanted to be held. "Don't let go," he begged, shuddering with the strength of his emotions.

For that moment, Ronan rued what he had been born as. Not because he was hating himself, the nightmare that he was. No—he wished he had been born as Adam's heart, so that he could always be with him.

"I won't," he promised, holding Adam tight, struggling with the typhoon of his own emotions. He had always felt vividly, felt with his whole body. His feelings for Adam were an oil spill. He'd dropped the match, and now everything was going up in flames.

He was torn between wanting to hold Adam, be held, and to continue learning the contours of his body. For hours, he wanted to gaze at Adam's naked form. For hours, he wanted to kiss Adam's knuckles and fingers. Dote upon every beautiful inch of the boy. And in return he longed for Adam to touch him, to touch where no one had ever touched before, kiss the harsh parts of himself that everyone else ran from.

Yet that all required moving and part of him wanted to just hold Adam forever, until they twisted together like the roots of two trees growing near one another.

Slowly, his wings folded inward more, brushing against Adam's back and cocooning them in glossy black feathers.

Adam loved him back. He no longer cared if it was a dream. If it was, he didn't want to wake up. But, as he was slowly realizing, it wasn't. In which case, he was never going to sleep again. No dream would ever be as sweet.

"I won't ever," he promised again, gently raking his nails down the shape of Adam's spine with one hand. The other remained fast around Adam, hugging him close.

Adam nestled against him, cuddling close and matching his breathing to Ronan's. Their nudity no longer felt embarrassing or sexual, simply intimate. Skin to skin with his boyfriend, who now meant more to him than all the world.

His thoughts were utterly innocent until Ronan's nails skimmed down his back, making Adam's breath catch and his cock twitch. "Fuck," he groaned, catching Ronan's earlobe between his teeth again and giving it a tug along with an erotic whine.

Adam's tug rewarded him with a shiver. Ronan arched up against him, clutching tightly with one arm as he continued to make his way down his boyfriend's back with the other. With care, so as not to leave a painful scratch. When he reached Adam's ass he couldn't resist giving it a playful squeeze, delighting in the fact that he could almost as much as the fact that Adam had a very nice ass.

"I want to see you," he murmured, turning his head so that he could look at Adam's face. "All of you. Can I?" He'd gotten a nice look before but hadn't been afford enough time to really memorize every inch. When he dreamed of Adam he wanted to be as accurate as possible. To know him, every part.

Adam groaned low at the squeeze to his ass, claws scraping exquisitely against his skin. "Yes," he agreed, grinding down once and then pushing himself up.

Stealing one last kiss, Adam pushed up to sit, letting Ronan see his thin, hungry chest, with only scant traces of hair. His skin tone was even, since most of his work and study had always been indoors, and the warm golden undertones of his skin went all the way down.

Pulling the hair tie from his thick hair, he tugged it loose from the cursory braid he often wore, letting the black waves spill free over his shoulders.

Below his navel, a dusting of dark hair led down, thickening into a tangle of dark curls around his pink and gold cock.

Grinning shyly, Adam licked his lower lip. "This good enough, or you want me to get up and twirl?"

Ronan took his time, eyes lingering on every inch. The slim yet strong chest, the gentle dip of waist, a handsome navel, a trail of hair leading down...

He swallowed thickly. Adam was real. Cock twitching between his legs, Ronan ignored the intense arousal thrumming through his system in favor of pressing his palms against Adam's chest. The pads of his thumbs brush Adam's nipples and his nails gently graze against flesh. Slowly, his hands slide, exploring down with curious fingers.

Ronan's hands were rough. Calluses from working outside, textured, even without the sharp points of his talons. The short feathers around his wrists brushed against Adam as well as he moved, blue eyes flicking, memorizing every lovely inch.

And when Adam let his hair loose—fuck. Ronan nodded his chin up and watched as strands of black pooled over those shoulders. Amazing. Almost as amazing and appealing as the dusting of dark hair below his navel; Ronan's hands made their way there soon after, curving along the dark patch.

"Fucking great as that would be," Ronan said, "I don't want you to go anywhere." Eyes lingering on Adam's cock, Ronan was hit with another stark pang of arousal. Fuck.

As much as he wanted to slip his lips around the head of Adam's cock, Ronan wasn't quite ready to launch right into that yet. Licking his lips, he did lean forward to lick along the trail below Adam's navel, kissing the patch of skin and hair with reverence. Then, just hard enough for Adam to feel it, not to hurt, Ronan bit him.

Edited 2016-11-26 18:05 (UTC)

Adam's hips twitched at the touch of Ronan's callused fingertips against his nipples. "Fuck," he breathed, clasping his hands around Ronan's head, fingers smoothing carefully over the dark feathers.

All of this was utterly new to him, and Adam was enrapt by the attention, the reverence paid to him.

Utterly awed by his lover, Adam's fingertips roamed over Ronan in return, skimming over his shoulders and lingering curiously at the base of his wings, intrigued by how the wings emerged from the muscle and bone of his back.

Gasping and laughing at the bite, Adam's grip tightened on Ronan's shoulders, nails digging in slightly.

He was achingly hard and wanted more, more, but he didn't want to rush through this. He wanted this moment to last forever, and to take his time exploring and being explored by Ronan. "I love you," he murmured, trying out the words on his tongue and the subsequent soaring in his heart.

Ronan's breath became shallow when he felt Adam touch around his wings. "Fuck," he agreed, softly, the knots in his belly twisting and pulling tight. Goosebumps and shivers ravaged him. It was an incredibly sensitive spot, made even moreso by knowing Adam was touching him there. No one had ever touched him there before. Not even Niall Lynch.

Adam's laughter was like sunlight. It warmed Ronan to the core, touched things that he had long considered gone and dead. The nails digging into his shoulders just slightly made him moan, made him want more. Adam could mark him up from head to toe and he'd love every second.

I love you. The words made him emotional every time he heard them. Choked up, he buried his face against Adam's belly, eyes wet. Dangerously close to crying, he was saved only by the scratch on the attic door and the call of Kerahhhhhh?

Ronan sniffed, trying to keep himself together. "Fuck off, Chainsaw. You're not allowed to watch."

Adam had never seen Ronan so emotional. So vulnerable. There was a soft core under all that bristle.

Stroking gently at Ronan's head and back, Adam kept him close, arousal flagging a little in favor of emotional intensity. "I love you," he murmured again, loving the way that Ronan hugged him close, like he was something precious. "You were never a monster, Ronan. You've always been my prince."

His grip only tightened with Adam's words.

For someone to say he was never a monster... he didn't believe it, but it eased something that had ached painfully for decades. He did have to snort when Adam called him a prince, peeling back so that he could look up at his boyfriend.

"Really? Your prince?" He offered a grin, laughing a little, "Shit, you deserve better than me. I'm a shitty prince. But I guess you've got shitty taste, huh?"

His expression was soft, tender in a way he'd never shown before.

"If we're gonna be corny as fuck—you're my sunlight."

Tenderness and shock flickered over Adam's face at the words, clearly deeply touched by the affection.

"I think we should be corny as fuck," Adam agreed, blushing and leaning down to take a kiss.

Starving for Ronan after even their short pause in kissing, Adam pushed him back onto the bed, pressing close to him and kissing feverishly.

Ronan loved him.

Pouring everything he had into the kiss, Adam gave himself entirely, wanting to lose himself in Ronan, wanting to give every inch of himself that he could offer.

Ronan fell back when Adam pushed him, opening his arms and welcoming his boyfriend into them. Kissing Adam was like breathing fresh air for the first time. He opened his mouth and kissed back with just as much urgency, need, fever heating his skin. Rather than think about anything, Ronan only allowed himself to feel. Feel Adam. His lips, his tongue, his body. Everything.

Hands wandering again, Ronan took as much as Adam would give. Arching his body up against the other boy, he gave in to the natural desires that plagued him. Cock throbbing, he rubbed his erection up against Adam's leg, he rut with the desperation that had been building up.

Nothing else mattered. Only Adam.

Keening with desire at the way that Ronan moved against him, Adam ground down against Ronan in return, trying to give and receive as much stimulation as possible.

He refused to break the kiss, moaning as their tongues tangled. Kissing Ronan was dizzying. He felt free, wild, happy. Kissing Ronan was like standing in a rainstorm, electric and overpowering, and Adam was in love.

The doorbell rang and Adam ignored it, reaching down to grab Ronan's cock. "Fuck 'em," Adam mumbled, nuzzling at Ronan and nipping at his collarbones, whatever skin he could find between the feathers.

Every time they rolled their hips hard against each other, Ronan gasped in their kiss, returning to it with a vengeance. Biting, nipping, sucking. His pulse was thundering, blood rushing to his cock and leaving him dizzy.

Ronan didn't even register the doorbell at first. Who the fuck was bothering them now? Not that it mattered—Adam grabbed his cock and Ronan groaned, thrusting eagerly into Adam's fist.

"No," he breathed with a cheeky grin, "fuck me." It tickled, the way Adam kissed at his feathers and between them, and he laughed, breathless. Adam nuzzling against his feathers felt amazing. He puffed his chest and his feathers fluffed, not unlike how Chainsaw might, and raked one of his claws through Adam's long lovely hair. The wet noise of his erection in Adam's fist made him shiver and he thrust again, beginning to sweat from arousal and strain.

Adam laughed as Ronan fluffed, and nuzzled his feathers to ruffle them further. Hand quickening on Ronan's length, Adam stroked him, watching him closely so that he could drink in every reaction. "I want to see you," Adam murmured, showering Ronan with light, distracted kisses. "Want to taste you. Ronan."

Shuddering with lust and emotion, Adam bit at him, utterly possessive, annoyed only that he couldn't always find or access skin to bite.

Ronan panted as Adam worked him, overwhelmed but not wanting it to stop. Brow furrowed in ecstasy, lips parted and red, a blush steady on his cheeks. With the quickening of Adam's hand he gasped, lips forming a perfect O, before he tilted his head back and bit down on them instead. God, he wanted to jerk Adam off too, but he didn't trust himself not to scratch with his talons. A single mistake could ruin everything.

So he threaded his claws through Adam's hair instead. Marveled at the way black strands slipped through his nails, how soft it felt against the roughness of his palms.

Slowly, he nodded, breathing still labored. "Y... yeah," he sighed, feathers still puffing from the way Adam nuzzled into him, "yeah. How do you want to..?" He wasn't sure if Adam was asking him to shift back now, or if he meant something else.

Adam wasn't sure what he was asking, but he didn't want Ronan worrying over how to please him right now. "Just relax," Adam said, nuzzling at him more, studying all of Ronan's reactions so he could learn how best to touch him. "I've got you."

He kissed at Ronan's cheek, nuzzling affectionately and keening softly as he did, overwhelmed with love and gratitude for Ronan. "Come for me."

Ronan did his best to relax when Adam bid him, breathing slow and closing his eyes. His hands still lingered in Adam's hair, threading and brushing, combing, very gently scraping his lover's scalp with the tips of his nails. His wings shifted beneath them as he came closer to coming, his face more flush. Twisting and knotting Adam's hair in his fingers, he tugged when he hit the point of urgency, that creeping hot feeling expanding out from the pit of his belly.

"Kiss me," he begged, turning his head to catch Adam's lips with his own. It helped muffle his moans as he rocked his hips into Adam's hand, and helped push him over the threshold to spill himself. Ronan road it out as he came, kissing with desperation and sinking into the sweet numbness of orgasm, dizzying and overwhelming, dulling and making everything incredibly sensitive all at once. It was his first orgasm by another person and it was perhaps the most intense he'd ever had. Soon, he was a pile of sated feathers, lovely and pliant beneath Adam.

Adam returned the kisses as best he could, focusing on what his hand was doing and the reactions he was drawing from Ronan. He whimpered with pleasure and affection, practically trembling with the joy of being able to do this with someone. To belong to someone.

Grinning when Ronan dissolved into panting, sated pleasure, Adam nuzzled close to him, cuddling up against his side and hugging an arm around Ronan's waist. He radiated happiness and approval, far too pleased to mind his own aching cock. "That was beautiful. I've never felt so happy before. My Ronan."

Ronan clung to Adam. Washed in pleasure, everything warm and amazing, all he could do was cling and pant as his body relaxed in the sensation.

When Adam said it was beautiful Ronan blushed deeply, hiding his face in the crook of his lover's shoulder. My Ronan. He liked that. Liked it a lot. And Adam... Adam was his. His Adam. His beautiful, smart, annoying, stubborn human. With shitty taste. Ronan would have him no other way.

Shifting closer, he accidentally rubbed his thigh up against Adam's erection. Oh.

"Lemme take care of you," he insisted, though the how he was going to achieve that was still of some debate. Maybe he should have borrowed Adam's laptop to watch porn. Then he'd have some more creative ideas, other than just using his hands.

"There's no hurry," Adam murmured, stroking the feathers on Ronan's head. "Enjoy your afterglow. You can get to me when you're ready."

He smiled fondly, tracing the smaller feathers along Ronan's brow, combing through them with a gentle fingernail. "You're handsome," he murmured, hopelessly infatuated with his boyfriend.

He let out a shaky breath while Adam stroked his feathers. God, it was no wonder why Chainsaw liked being stroked so much. It felt utterly divine. He nestled against Adam with his eyes closed, making soft noises from his throat when Adam touched him in a particularly pleasurable way.

Then Adam called him handsome. Eyes opening, he leaned back so he could look at his lover's face. "I don't get it," he admitted, resting his head on the pillow as he looked at Adam. "I've always been called a nightmare. Scary. A monster."

He sighed, tracing the pads of his fingers up Adam's arm, "And I always thought they were right."

Adam shrugged, exchanging soft touches and affection with him. "They're wrong. Or I'm wrong, but I don't suppose it matters. Like you say, I guess I have shitty taste, but it's my taste. I like the things that make me happy. If I've got shit taste for liking a foul-mouthed grumpy asshole with a heart of gold instead of some entitled frat boy, then I'd rather have shit taste."

Rolling his eyes sheepishly, Adam tucked his face against Ronan's throat. "I think you're handsome. I like you the way you are. I don't fucking care if anyone disagrees."

It made him feel good, that Adam didn't insist that he was beautiful by all standards, or that the rest of the world was crazy. Really, he didn't much care all that much about what everyone else thought—it was just hard to realize that Adam didn't feel the same way. All that mattered to him how was Adam felt.

And, maybe, if Adam liked him... maybe he wasn't so bad. Maybe it was okay to be Ronan Lynch. To not hate himself so much.

"Okay," Ronan said, cuddling up against Adam. "I like you too. Shitty taste and all."
