The Monkeys who Fell out of the Trees [Shane]

[Ackley Joshua Lynch]

Ackley flushed and stammered a bit at being called 'adorable' again. He laughed. "Dunno r-really. My sister u-used to do th-this stuff." He traced across the lines gently then, after an uncertain hesitation, leaned down and pressed his lips to his palm. "Hmm...but l-let me try."

Holding Shane's hand out as if to see it better, he tried to remember anything. For the most part, it was intuitive, he knew that much. "U-um, it's a deep l-line, so...so I think that's...a good memory? A-and there's a b-break here...th-that's a change...like, maybe a change in, um, in ho-how you think?" Ackley traced his finger down the middle crease. "A-and that's fate. L-like, how m-much it affects you."

[Shane Archer Mills]

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Change on how he thinks? Shane knew that it was not true. He was still himself, still Shane Archer Mills. This set up was temporary. This was not going to last. He told himself that. He was Carford's Second in command. And being with an Alderres this way would have been considered treason. And as a demon and with a high rank, Shane could not do such a thing. Yet he kept smiling. He did however like seeing the smile on Ackley's face. How the younger one looked so happy and contented. And when he kissed Shane's palm he had to hide the trace of worry. Ackley might start to get attached to him. And if that happened, it was going to be more painful when he finds out the truth. Truth. Something Shane knew not its real value.

"Good memory? It would be this... This moment... Being here with you. That's my good memory. You're also the change and what affects me now. I like seeing you smile and looking so contented. I like seeing you all scarlet when I compliment you..." he said as he turned Ackley's head to face him and kissed him. Soft, tender and kind. Such a kiss that Shane knew not he could give at all. But he it was. He slowly laid Ackley down on the blanket, not breaking their kiss all the while.

About to protest and fluster at Shane's sweetness, Ackley found himself utterly distracted by the attention being showered on him. He shuddered at the touch of the lips against his, soft and too kind. So distracted by the kisses, he hardly noticed Mills moving them until he felt the hard ground beneath his back and a warm body over him.

Sucking in an eager little gasp of air, Ackley let his hands roam over Mills's back, rucking up his shirt at the very bottom, pressing his fingertips to the warm skin underneath. He knew Shane had said no more than kisses, but...well, he was overwhelmed, caught up in emotion and sensation. And he wanted to make Mills happy. That's all he really wanted to do, be useful, be good, be wanted. Ackley pressed up against the firm body on top of him. It felt like he was melting even as certain parts, plagued by the perpetual youthful interest, perked up a bit.

Ackley broke the kiss, blushing. "Um," he said, sure Shane could feel the change.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shane smirked as he felt something as Ackley pressed himself against Shane. He knew that he had to stop now before they went too far for any of them to turn back. Shane sat up and ran a hand through his hair. "I think I went a little too far... I did say that we'd do nothing more than kiss... And I plan to see that through. Come on, we have a whole day ahead of us. We can go and look at shops first." Shane said as he began to keep everything and placed them back in the basket. Though he was having a problem himself, he'd ignore it to stick to his plan.

Shane pointed at a few art supplies. He got a basket and took a box of oil pastels, crayons, oil paints, a few paints brushes and two sketch pads. "We can go back to the square and I want you to sit still while I draw you." Shane said as he gave him a quick kiss before heading to the check out counter. Some girls stared at Shane as he held Ackley's hand firmly with his. He didn't care what they thought. They could stare all they like. They weren't as interesting as Ackley was.

They left the art shop and went back to the square. "Don't mind those people who look. They're just jealous because you more attractive and interesting than they are. They'llnever be half as attractive as you are even if they wait a decade." Shane reassured Ackley. He smiled so softly that if the generalin hims was his twin, he'd wonder if he was having a fever. Seriously? Second in command Shane Archer Mills? Smiling softly? If someone told Shane he'd be able to do that a month ago, whoever it was would have been sent to the hospital instantly.

Ackley whined a little when Shane pulled away, but he was good and sat back up and thought about giving a speech naked in front of a classroom full of strangers. It cleared his little problem right up. "S-sorry," he said, laughing quietly. He stood up and helped put the food back in the basket, even when Mills insisted he do it himself. He needed to feel useful.

As they walked through the shops, Ackley kept relatively quiet, happy to window shop, and not wanting to explain why he wouldn't buy anything. Back at Broadhaven, students had gotten a meager allowance, and he'd saved a lot of that, but he'd had to send some to his dad, and here in Alderres he was pretty much on his own, living off whatever the school gave him until he could graduate and get a job. He just watched with a smile as Mills bought art supplies, running his fingers over some sketching supplies idly. "Y-you paint? Th-that's really cool. I n-never got into th-that so much." Mostly because pencils were cheap and paint wasn't.

"I-I don't mind," Ackley assured him, blushing. "They p-probably weren't even l-looking at me a-anyway." With a hot guy like Shane around, no doubt they were checking out his date and barely even registered Ackley was there. That's how things usually went in his mind, anyway.

Shane smiled as Ackley agreed to be painted by him. "Well, I'm not really good at painting people. But I try went the one I paint is someone who really matters to me. Like the one I'm with now." Shane said as he kissed Ackley's hand, the hand he was holding since they were in the art shop. He loved the attention they we're getting right that very moment. "I bet you their talking about how lucky I am to have someone so attractive and interesting beside me." he added with a smile as they approached the town square again and back to their picnic spot.

Shane took out the clothe again and made Ackley sit down. He then sat and leaned back on a tree and took out the color pencils. "Try to look for a comfortable spot and stay that way for a few minutes. Then I'll show you what I can do just to impress someone I think is worth every effort i put in." Shane said as he smiled. He opened the sketched pad and began to draw Ackley's outline. He was so engrossed with the guy that he was lost in the world of lines and colors. All Shane saw was Ackley. And nothing else.

Flushed and stammering, Ackley glanced around them, looking at the girls who were looking at them. He was so used to being the invisible kid, the negative space at the back of the classroom, that the thought of someone staring at him was strange. People didn't look at him. Why would they?

Ackley had grown quite a bit in the past two years, but not just vertically. When he was in his younger teens, he had been too long, too thin, build not even close to catching up with his height. Since he'd been at Broadhaven, his figure had filled out a bit. He was still gangly and scrawny, but his proportions had evened out a bit. Still, when he looked in the mirror, he saw the lanky string bean he had been.

Following directions, Ackley went and sat by the tree, one long leg stretched out in front of him, the other bent at the knee, his arms wrapped around it. His shoulders, as usual, were slouched, a feeble subconscious attempt to make himself look smaller. "I-is this, um...I d-dunno h-how, er, h-how do y-you...um...i-is this okay?" he asked.

[Shane Archer Mills]

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shane nodded, "As long as your comfortable." Whatever position Ackley did, it didn't really matter. Shane was going to draw Ackley the best way he could. And that was when he was smiling. Shane did find it rather wonderful to see a smile on Ackley's face when he was happy and excited about something. And this was his chance to show Ackley how wonderful his smile made Shane. He began to use different colors to show how wonderful and colorful Ackley is to Shane.

Shane took nearly a long time to speak. He kept looking back at Ackley then back at the sketch pad. He was having fun doing what he thought he could not do when he was in Alderres. Well, there were a lot of things Shane was not allowed to do. Then he looked down at his work and smiled. "Alright... I think I got you head pretty much in detail... You can't really say I'm good. Its been too long since I sketched anyone. But basically, this is you." Shane said as he turned the sketch pad to show Ackley the image Shane had tried to draw for the last fifteen to twenty minutes.

Ackley stayed very still, lost in his own thoughts. He recognized the look of utter concentration on Shane's face. It was sweet, but...he wondered if he'd gotten in over his head. Yeah, it was awesome to be on a date-type-thing, and to have someone paying attention to him, wanting him. It was a relief, really. But hadn't he already tried this? Hadn't it been a disaster? Besides, Mills was a demon and ageless, had probably seen the world and things Ackley could hardly wrap his head around. Why would he want to hang around some boring, self-loathing kid?

Well, he had gotten pretty good at giving head. But he doubted that could sustain him for long.

When Shane finally spoke up, Ackley's head popped up and he leaned in to look at the drawing. It was lifelike, he was impressed. His face was smiling in the picture and he looked...different than he did in the mirror. "I-it's really good," he said, voice soft. "The l-lighting and details...it's really...really good." He smirked mildly and looked up at Mills. "M-maybe I'll have to d-draw you sometime."

[Shane Archer Mills]

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shane smiled as he held Ackley's face with one hand, caressing it. "It's how I want to remember you forever. You know, being this relaxed and worry free. It seems like a long time but I want to keep it. And because its with you that I was able to be like this after so long, you know? Your smile is indeed wonderful and it makes me feel like I can imagine being this relaxed to the end of time." he said as he smiled softly at Ackley and gave him a quick kiss. "You have no idea how wonderful my life had been since I met you Ackley Lynch. I've been having a lot of fun and I have you to thank for." he added.

Until the day Ackley would want him to go away. Shane wondered when that would be. It might be sooner that Shane thought. He didn't know. He ma control time but he doesn't see what the future would bring. If Shane knew, he would have won any battle he wished. He held on to Ackley's hand, "Since we're doing painting your portrait, I think it's time for you anger class. You think your ready for it?" Shane said with a smile to Ackley.

Flushed bright red, Ackley stared down at his feet and stammered. "I-I-I d-didn't really do a-anything...th-that's just...I-I mean, y-you're...um...thanks." He laughed quietly and rubbed at the back of his neck. "Y-you too. I-I haven't...haven't had, um, fun...like this...not in a-a while. It, um...it's been a...t-tough m-move." God, if Shane kept complimenting him like that, he didn't know how he'd be able to speak at all.


He kissed the demon back with a shy smirk, and then his eyes went sort of wide at the next suggestion. "A-a-anger class?" He'd agreed that he should probably be able to get angry more easily, but still...a class? Was that necessary? He wasn't so sure. Or maybe it was? How was he to know? "Um, er, I g-guess? Wh-what does that, um...I mean, what are we gonna do?" The whole idea scared Ackley a little. He wasn't good at things like this...or things in general...

[Shane Archer Mills]

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shane chuckled as Ackley kissed him back. It was cute and funny that Ackley had to return every kiss Shane would give him. "First of all, when someone picks on you for no reason, you should at least show distaste and disapproval of their actions. Ackley, no one can protect you forever but yourself. So, since your taller than most people, that right there is an advantage already. Second thing, think of the aftermath. If you allow people to hurt you now, they'll do it again and again because they know you won't fight back. And I don't want to see you hurt Ackley. You're a very gentle and kind person and seeing that been tormented by others is something I can't really bear to watch," Shane said. Right there was a conflict already. He love torturing people, making them scream and begged for mercy and their lives. But not with Ackley. Because as Heaven is his witness, Ackley was not the kind of person that deserve pain and torment.

"When your able to establish that, you can start by pushing people away from you. Anger doesn't have to mean that you have to fight them back right then and there. Anger can be your driving force to push them away and stop them from hurting you. And the next time they even try to do something, you can either kick, punch or even bite them. Those are just some of the ways to get angry. But I'm choosing the easiest once for you." he said with a smile. Seriously. Smiling while teaching someone how to be angry was a bit twisted. But Shane is a twisted person so,ha! so much for that.
