Realisation's of the Vampire Lestat
By Bane Huntress (2000)
Lestat was bored, he had been wandering about the world again, he had
started out with David, they had tried to get Louis to go with them, but he
had
promist to go see Marius for a spell and nothing could perswaid him from it.
Lestat couldnt help but admit he had felt a twitch of jelusy, but David and
his
somber english tone had stoped him going into a fit of raig and draged him
off.
Now David had wanted a bit of time alone to wander. That was two mothes ago,
and as always New Orleans was calling Lestat's name.
He reached his home in the Ru Royal and the flat was quiat, and it didnt
feal like anyone had been there in sometime.
He couldnt help but be a bit disapointed, he hoped Louis would have been
there to welcome him home as he always seemed to be.
He wanderd around the flat and found himself standing in Louis room, just
stering at the bed which he never sleped in. And he felt the anger rising in
himself. How dear Louis not be here! How dear he not wait on his every wime,
how dear he just disapear without a note or explanation!? He thought of
contacting Mareus and demanding Louis last whereabouts did crossed his mind
but he
had the sence to ignor it as he walked into the living room and turned on the
TV, he floped down on the sofa and flicked throw a couple of channels but
there was nothing on, as always. he was in such a mood he didnt even feel like
going out and killing, he had already done enough of that this night. so he
just lay ther till he evenchaly just sliped into sleep.
He was woken by something brushing over his cheak, so jental that he wasnt
startaled by it, slowly he opend his gray eye's to see brilliant and amused
green ones stering back at him.
"Louis?" he breathed, at first thinking it just some plesand dream of his
minds fancie. but he realized it was Louis breath that had desturbed him, he
had maniged to get that close to him without being noticed.
"Lestat." Louis answerd with a smile, "I was wondering when you would note
my presanse."
Lestat didnt answer as he jumped up, Louis steped back in surprise befor he
was knocked over as Lestat jumped the sofa and throw his arms round the other
vampires neck.
Louis, taken by surprise, losed his perfect ballens and fell back wards with
Lestat clinging to him like an exited child.
Lestat loughed as he looked down into Louis flushed face, fresh from the
kill and oww so human. "Where the hell have you been?" He asked in his most
petulant tone, "I expect you to be home when I gat here, not galavanting off,
who
know's what kind of trubal you might get your self into!"
Louis sighed but he was smiling. "Welcom home Lestat" he said softly, trying
to put on a bored tone.
Suddenly Lestat bent his head down and kissed the warm lips, parting them
slightly with his tong and licking the underside, he could tast Louis last
kill
as the reserved Vampire beneath him submited to the onslought. Then he
lifted his head to look into warm green eyes he had fallen in love with so
long
ago. "So... Did you had fun in my absense?"
Louis sighed as Lestat pulled him to his feet, "I see you only just got back
yourself?" he asked as Lestat guided him to the sofa and they sat down
together.
"So where have you been?... not with Marius all this time I imagen?"
Louis shook his head, his waivy long black hair hung free after loosing it's
binding when Lestat had jumped him. "I was wandering around Los Angalis when
I bumped into David..."
Lestat fround at that, it would have ment David had hunted Louis out for
there to be a proper meeting between them.
"He told me he left you some time ago and that he was on his way to
Australia" Louis went on, "He wonded if I wanted to join him, but I was on my
way
back here when I met him, so I declined."
"Obveusly" Lestat mumbaled, He would have a word with David once he got
back, but then what would he say. 'dont ask Louis to join you on your travels
without asking permision from me first?' or 'Louis is mine, Dont think you can
take him from me I wont alaw it'.
Louis was frouning at him, "What's wrong?" he asked. "You and David didnt
have a fight did you?"
Lestat shook his head as he wound his arm's around Louis, drawing him close.
"No... I was just thinking about something.. thats all"
"What?" Louis asked acsepting the imbrase.
"It's nothing..." he smiled, he knew he would do nothing about this unless
David did try and interfear with his and Louis relationship as it stood now.
but he douted David would do that, and he also douted Louis would leave him
that easly. he tightend his grip, "I'm glad you didnt go."
Louis smiled one of his briliant smiles, "I thought you might be.. after all
who would keep you from wrecking the house if not for me?" he grinned.
Lestat bit his shoulder playfully, "Ingreat!" he mumbaled. then pulled away.
"Louis!" he shouted, "Have you been playing in the suwer with rat's again?"
Louis frouned, "No" he answerd quite innocently.
"Ugg!!... you smell like you have!" Lestat stood then pulled Louis to his
feet with no effort "Come.." he grinned as an idear hit him. "I didnt let you
have the say in that bathroom for you to never use it!"
Louis looked startled as he protested, "I have used it!" he said. "I like
the shower. I've used it many a time!"
"I hope so!" Lestat grinned as he half draged Louis towards the back of the
flat where the small but adequat bathroom had been built, ovcours they had no
use for it really, but Louis had found the plesher in the shower and had
insisted in the bigest one they could get, it took up half the small room.
Lestat pushed the reluctant vampire into the room then closed the door
behind them and stood with his back againsed it grinning eviliy as he watched
Louis look at him in confusion.
"I was planing on having one befor dawn." Louis side as he stood ther
composed, "I thought we could talk first?"
Lestat smiled as he advanced on what he now saw as potential pray. But not
in the conventional sence. Suddenly he wanted to suduce Louis they way he
never had in the past, the feeling was over welming him as he looked into them
deep green eyes. He slowly wraped his arm's around Louis thin waist drawing
him close but not taking his eyes from his. He wanted to join with Louis the
way he had with Akashi, he had offered his blood befor but he had always
refused. Tonight he would give him no choice, but this was something he would
savour, with Louis he found everything had to be savoured to it's upermost,
were
nothing was missed, to tresher it forever.
"What is it?" Louis asked when Lestat didnt reply.
"Let's talk later..." he wisperd into a perfect ear, brushing it with his
lipes and feeling a delicat trembal through the others body that he held so
tightly. He pulled away and turned on the electrical shower, almost instantly
the water that gushed from the shower head began to steam. He remeberd that
Louis like it hot so he made sure it was on high, then he turnd to see Louis
looking at him puzzaled.
Lestat couldnt help but laugh as he once again stood befor him, and jentaly
but furmly he bagan to tugg the loos black swetter, Louis was wearing, out of
his black jeans, "We cant have a shower with our clothes on." he stated as
Louis helped by lifting his arms so the swetter came off.
"We?" Louis asked slightly startled as he stood there nacked now to the
waist, but he didnt look imbaresed, they had seen each other nacked befor this
day and mortal sensativatis could hardly bother something as eturnal
beautifull
as them selves.
"We." Lestat stated as he ran a hand down the smoth white flesh of Louis
chest. "I thought it might be something difrent" he pured with another grinn.
At first Louis looked startled then his eye's warmed as he nodded his head
ever so slightly, "I dont supos I have a choice do I?" he asked. His full lips
curved up slightly at one side.
Lestat began to undo the belt on the jeans "Nope."
It didnt take long befor they both stood in the larg cubical surounded by
paterned frosted glass, Louis stood with his hand's held infrunt of him
catching the water, his face turnd up to feel the water on his face, eye's
closed.
To Lestat he looked like a angel, or a Saint stood befor a god he idalised
but was afraid to look at for fear of reprisal. The image was almost to much
for him to bear as he watched the water flatern the lustral black hair
againced Louis head and shoulders.
Slowly Lestat reached out and ran his fingers throw that thick dark hair as
he moved closer to him, untill he also stood under the stream of steaming
water.
His hand's clasped Louis shoulders tenderly from behind, then he began to
nussal a perfect ear through wet hair. His lip's parting the driping warmed
black strands aside, loveing the feel of it over his lips he began to move
down
towards the soft part of Louis neck, nussaling at the hair now, sucking the
mostcher from it. He had to take this slow or he might frighten his pray
away, espeshaly if Louis found out what his intentions were.
He felt one of Louis hand's reach back to lay on his hip as the other
reached over his shoulder and sliped into Lestat's also damp hair takeing a
ferm
grip. But it wasn't to forse him away but an incuriging gesture.
Lestat couldnt help but grin as he sliped one of his own arm's up then
slowly down Louis cheast, coresing gentaly as he did so, while his other arm
slunk around the unsuspecting vampires waist. Finaly his lips reached there
goal
at the base of Louis neck and he began a gentaly nipping, resisting the earg
to just take what he wanted, he promised himself that he would take this
slow, but it was proving harder than he had thought to resist, a pleshar in
it's
self
Suddenly Louis let his hold go and turned in Lestat's arm's till they stood
eye to eye. Lestat couldnt help but blink as he found himself stering into
green eyes.
Louis was smilling, though his eyes seemed a bit misted over, a very human
trait for this kind of situation, Lestat found.
"Oww, Lestat..." Louis said in his soft voice filled with a warm amusment,
"I knew you would try this one day..."
Lestat almost cursed himself, it was surly over now. but he smiled back as
he tuched his nose with Louis and asked in a quiat voice. "Then why constantly
resist me?"
Louis smiled as he rested his arms around Lestat's waist, "Because I know
how much you like trying to agrevait me." he gave a little squeas, "And I like
to see how your hair-braind sceams will turn out some time's."
Lestat gave a little groan, then leaned forwards and gave Louis a quick
kiss, "So what do you think about this one?" he murmerd, as he tightend his
grip.
With a sigh, Louis lean forwards untill his fourhead rested on Lestat's
shoulder, there body's now furmly pressed together as the hot water splashed
off
there exposed skin. "I'm likeing it so far" came the slight mumbal, "But I
might need some more perswaiding..."
Louis could do nothing but groan as Lestat's strong hand's ran up his back,
his long finger's roaming ever so jentaly over ever inch of his pail skin,
makeing his vampiric sences scream.
He was surprised at how jental Lestst was being as he ran light kisses down
his cheast, Louis knew Lestat could crush him without a though, one wrong
move and he could snap him like a twig. but as one of Lestat's hand's crepen
into his hair and the other wanded lower, he lost all thought as he wound his
own hand's in Lestat's damp blond hair, one of his nees lifted and his ancle
hucked around Lestat leg as he pulled him closed.
The feal of there moist body's pressed together as the hot water spashed over
there skin was almost to much for Louis to bear. Never befor had he felt
such sensation's, it felt so sensual, so right. He wanted this, to be this
close to his Maker, to feel safe and free of all worry's and greaf, to loos
himself in nothing but phisical pleasher as only there vampire sences could
and
would let them.
He felt Lestat's soft kisses raze back up to his throwt, one arm wound more
securly around his waist as the other in his hair tightend furmly. Louis felt
sharp teath graze across his skin.
"I need you..." he hear Lestat grone as he moved his lips to the other side.
"Now, my beautiful one..."
Louis gasped as he was jerked rufly againced forwared untill there wasnt a
gap separating them. Lestat's hand in his hair tuged his head back softly.
"Please, chere." Lestat almost begged, with another teasing nibble.
Louis suddenly realised that if he so wished, even right now, Lestat was
giving him the chance to back down from this, maybe with much more jental
perswaiding but he knew he could walk away.
He groned as Lestat held him a little tighter in his crushing arms.Then
tightend his own grip in Lestat's hair pulling him closer in kind. "Now..." he
wisperd.
He felt Lestat smile againced his already sensative skin, then his lips
parted and Louis gasped as he felt sharp fang's brack through the flesh of his
neck, Blood instatly began to flow into Lestat.
For a seconed Louis panicked as his lifes blood left him, makeing his head
feel light. he heard Lestat grumbal in pleasher and reasurans. then he lost
him self to the unbalevable fealing.
He leaned his head back and to the side, giveing himself totaly to his
maker. Emotions and sensations he had never felt befor cursed through him,
despit
the draining of blood his vaines screamed with plesher and pain.
He felt like he would burst if it didnt stop soon as all his sences seemed
to reach a crushendo, with one final wild cry of pleasher he swooned.
He was aweare of Lestat as his maker shivered vilantly againced him, holding
him furmly in his arm's so he didn't fall, then Lestat with drew and began
jentaly licking at the wouned helping it to heal with a drop of his own blood.
"... I love you..." Louis maniged to wisper, able to do nothing more as his
fingers sliped from silky blond hair to lay limply in Lestat's hold.
"And I you..." was the final thing louis heard befor he sliped into sleep.
Lestat was now contently exawsted, he had wraped Louis in the warmist,
softist nightgoun he could find, then carrid his sleeping partner through to
the
living room, he sat down on the sofa, where Louis had found him earlyer, then
he flicked on the TV.
He made sure Louis was in a comftorbal position leaning againcd his side, as
he keaped his arm's around him, still unwilling to let him go, as Louis
stured from sleep.
"Sleep if you wish.." Lestat wisperd into dark damp hair.
Louis stured as he cuddaled closer but gave a soft wimper of worry and
denial.
Lestat chuckaled, "Dont worry," he said with a little squeas, "I'll make
sure your in your cofin befor dawn even get's here..."
Louis lifted his head till thair eye's met, and even though they were not as
sharp as they should be, filled with an almost human fateag. "I..." he
tride to say. "I wish not to be alone..." he finaly wisperd even just on the
brink of Lestat's hearing.
Lestat smiled, but not with his usual cockyness. "I think that can be
arainged..." he wisperd back as he put a hand at the back of Louis head and
jentaly
forsed it back to his shoulder where it had rested befor. "I'll see to
anything you wish... anything..."
He heard Louis sigh with recognition as the other vampir finaly lay still
and almost lifless at his side.
Lestat knew he was in one of his contemplative moods right now, and at first
he wonderd why Louis would ask such a thing, They had never shaired a
coffin, exept on the first night Louis had truly come to him and even then it
was
orderd. He bit on his lip lightly.
Louis had always seemed distant and weak to all of them, always at the
outscurts of any meeting or gathering, keeping himself to himself, always
alone,
never really seeking anybody out unless it was imporlit not to. He always
seemed to shun any closness with anyone, as if he was afraid to get too close.
Lestat sighed and shouk his head, Louis was a mistery sometime's. But then
he rememberd Claudia.
In the few years they had all lived together in this very flat many years
ago, Louis had doted on Claudia. He had loved her in a way that Lestat was
always jelus of, He always wanted to be the senter of atention and Claudia was
Louis world back then. But hadn't he made Claudia just so Louis would stay
with him? But then he himself had loved her, maybe even in a selfish way in
hope
that Louis would then inturn love him as much as he did her? Even when he
was wanting to make the violinist into a brother for Claudia, it was just
another threat, even though he was fond of the young man, he just wanted to
destract Claudia from Louis, so he could then move in on him?.
He sighed deeply, but that was all in the past, Claudia was gone. and that
brought him back to the presant. he remeberd Clauidia had always sheard Louis
coffin in the earlyer day's, and he vaigly rememberd how heartbrocken Louis
had been when she had wanted one of her own, but even then she sometime's
still sleaped with him.
He strocked silky black hair as he thought. Maybe Louis was afraid to get
close to anyone after what happent to Claudia. Mortals were forever harping on
about that. How they had lost thair one and only love so they could never
love again and shide away from anyone and everyone, frightend it would happen
again.
He couldnt help but smile triumphantly. Finaly, Maybe Louis was going to
give Lestat what he had always wanted from him, but had always seemed to
mess-up
and forse Louis away. damn his sensabilatis.
But why now? Lestat was almost sertan., as much as he could be when Louis or
any of his fledgling were concerned, that Louis had been pondering there
relationship for sometime, tonight would not have happend if anything else was
the case. What ever hairbraind sceams he thought up, he knew he would never
do anything to hurt Louis, not phisickly at least.
Then his mind cast back to when he had gone to Louis with the body theif
idea, the destress on Louis face had been hard to ignor, but he had dismissed
it
as being just Louis fear of anything slightly dangerus. But how had Louis
felt? He was fooling himself he if he thought he hadnt hurt him in someway,
frightend him enough to finaly let his fealing known. He had no dought now,
that it was all in the past, that Louis would have given him the dark gift if
this body had been destroyed. Lestat knew he could have eventualy brocken
Louis
deturmination with his own, or got one of the others to help him forse Louis
to it in someway.
But it was all over now, and he silantly promised the sleeper that he would
never do anything to delibaratly hurt Louis again. espeshaly not if tomorrow
Louis did not have a chaing of heart.
He knew even though, as all there kind did, he would evntualy want some time
alone, but that Louis would be by his side. They had spent a mortal life
time together in hatred, he imagend that could go for iternity in love. He
grinned, but that was only if he didnt make anymore stupid mistakes.
Then his mind wanderd to David, he loved him to, but it was the same love he
felt towards all the others now, almost equel to equel. where as he still
imagend Louis as something that needed protecting, His forever weak beautiful
fledgling.
David looked out for himself and loved the only way there kind could, only
Louis seemed an exeption to that rule, all his vampiric powers geard up to
being that of a perfect human.
His hand finaly stilled on Louis hair as he watched the images flick by on
the TV screen and a drousiness seemed to take him as he sliped into darkness.
It wasnt long befor he felt someone in the coridore, he roused himself
instantly, ready to act if need be, but then he realised that he could feal
nothing from who ever it was, and there where only three people on the planit
who
it could be and one of them lay obliveus at his side.
Slowly he open his eye's and looked over his shoulde then smiled. "I thought
you where on your way to Australia?" he wisperd as not to desturb the
slumberer at his side.
David smiled back as he came into the room and stoped at the back of the
sofa. He raised an eye brow when he saw Louis. "I was on my way, but I forgot
something I have been working on..." he glansed back at Louis with an open
ster, "and to ask Louis if he would join me again if you were not here" he
raised
his other brow as he looked back to Lestat. "It would seem he wont be
coming."
Lestat smilled as he wound his long fingers in Louis hair jelusly, "Not this
time" he grinned. "We have had a little heart to heart..." he couldnt help
but giggle at his own joke as David gave him a wray smile.
"Well I supose it was about time." David mused as he glanced out the window,
"I supose I'll stay here tonight, I cant get far with dawn this close."
"What?" Lestat fround up at his latest fledgling.
David grinned at him, "Dawn's coming, did you two loos track of time?"
"I know what time it is" he snaped, "What did you meen, what was suposed to
happen?"
David held a hand up to ward of Lestat temper, "You may not have realised
it... But Louis is infatuated with you, as it were. We've all seen it."
Lestat fround darkly, urging silantly for David to elabarat.
With a sigh he got what he wanted as David contiued. "He let's you walk all
over him..."
"No I dont" Lestat grouled defensivly.
David roled his eye's, "Lestat," he said patantly. "I can see how you treat
him sometime's.. but then I can also see how you are around him as well, This
had to come at somepoint. You two where made for each other whether you see
it or not." he smiled as he stood. "let's just hope you dont blow it." then
he was gone and Lestat heard his door close softly.
He blinked once as Louis stured at his side then opend his deep green eye's.
Lestat gave him a kiss as he tightend his grip, "Dawn's here... I supose I
have to see you to bed?"
Louis looked at him wide eye'd for a moment then smiled "David's home?"
Lestat nodded as he carfully stood not leting go of Louis as he did so,
untill the other vampire lay in his arm's, "He's just back for the night, he
should be gone by the time you awaken." he said dismisivly as he watched Louis
blush.
He walked slowly back to his room as he gave Louis another kiss, then he was
laying him down in his over sized cofin, there was plenty of room this time
for the both of them.
Lestat could already see Louis eye's glasing over as the sky lightend.
"You don't have to stay with me." Louis said his voice soft and almost shy.
"You still have an hour or so..."
Lestat smiled as he jentaly lay down next to him, pulling the lid closed as
he then took him in his arm's. "I cant think of anything I'd rather be doing
with that time..." he said makeing his voice soft as Louis had been. "...Than
being right here with you MY beautiful one."
He felt Louis's arm's wrap around him in turn, As Lestat felt him grow as
still and lifless as a corpes.
Lestat held him tighter as he let himself slip into that same slumber,
thinking of nothing but seeing Louis wake in his arm's, something he had never
witnessed.
Then silance desended on the Ru-Royal as it's room's flooded with the first
morning ray of light.
The End ^v-v^
