I am alone.
*Julian tried to push the thought away as quickly as it had come.*
"I don't mean..."
It just makes me feel...undesirable.
*His fingers dug into Erik's hips, as if willing him to say with him, binding him to him.*

"No."
*Julian's hands hard on his hips, Erik cupped Julian's face. Made him look him in the eye as his face shifted to its original form.*
Never alone. Never... undesirable.

*Julian's eyes softened, lost in Erik's and glistening. He swallowed and nodded slowly, a small smile of understanding in his lips.*
Not when I am with you.
*His lips found his mother's, his need made tender by Erik's own, his recognition of himself in his son.*

*Erik's strong hand cupped the back of Julian's head, tangled in his long hair. Was Julian, he wondered, Erik as he was meant to be? Erik in pure form? He liked the idea. In anyone else jealousy would have raised its scaled head but here, now, it just seemed natural. Perfect.
Just as he could almost, almost, see what Julian saw in him to love. He could doubt other's discretion in loving him, but not Julian's. Because Julian did not use words, which could be easily denied.*
Erik has never been loved... like this.
*It was a concession, of sorts.*

*Julian smiled truly, so pleased in that simple belonging. He echoed Erik's gesture, his hands drawing his face deeper in the kiss. He lowered them to Erik's waistcoat, working the buttons loose.*
Nor have I. Nor could I ever be by anyone but you.

*That pleased Erik mightily, as he liked to be unique. He set to work on Julian's buttons, and their coordinated movements were efficient and swift. Julian seemed to anticipate his every move. He peeled back Julian's shirt to reveal pale flesh, so reassuringly solid under his long fingers.*
"Yes," *he hissed softly in Julian's ear.* "Erik loves you."

"And I love only you."
*Julian's words were whispered hotly against Erik's ear, his hands moving gently over the smooth flesh that he worked so diligently to bare. He drew kisses over Erik's jaw and down his neck, tracing his tongue along the length of his collarbone.*

*Erik's head fell back, unmindful of his scarred, bony flesh or cadaverous visage. In Julian's eyes, he was perfect in a way not even Erik believed possible. But he felt its effects.
He drew Julian closer, to splay his fingers over the man's chest, and stomach, and his waist just above his trousers. Fingers dipped beneath the waistline to tease him.*
"Love Erik."
*It was either confirmation or command.*

*Julian moaned softly and pursed his lips, as if to silence them. But at Erik's words, his solemn demand, Julian was helpless drawn. He paused long enough to whisper one word.*
"Always."
*He fell deftly to his knees, his fingers slipping over Erik's skin to the buttons of his trousers.*
***FADE OUT***

**FADE IN**
*Erik lay draped over a divan, Julian's limbs tumbling around him. He nipped lazily at one of his fingers, but his eyes watched the man avidly for any sign of his previous condition.*

*Julian snuggled against Erik. His body was so warm, so alive. Inviting. Julian felt safe, at home. And solid. He lifted his hand to caress Erik's face.*
This is what I want. To be forever with you. Just like this.
*It wasn't that he expected to get it, it was just that the moment was more perfect than he ever dreamed that it could be.*

*Erik leaned into his caress, his face relaxing into the smooth lines and planes of his borrowed shape. He had feared a repeat of their previous experience, and most of all the look of horror on Julian's face. But it did not come. His son was safe.
He sighed contentedly and pulled a throw over them. It would be nice to stay here forever. He knew it could not be, but in that moment he could not imagine wanting anything else.*

*Julian kissed Erik's chest softly, gazing up to him with a satisfied smile. He was still tangible.*
"She...seems to be quite powerful. I admit, I had my doubts."

"As did Erik," *he said. The mention of "Heaven" had given him pause. Possibly some sort of metaphor.* "But he is happy to be proven wrong."

*Julian smiled and nodded. But then his smile faded slightly and he pulled himself closer to Erik, desperate for more contact.*
"I'm...cold. Is it always like this?"
