				Wandering through the dusty, grimy city, he had a faint hope that tonight might bring something a bit different. Maybe something interesting. Today had been terribly dull - a shower, a trip to the coffee shop, and then some Chinese take out - and he was thrilled to be getting out of the house. An art show was always certain to draw the notoriously shy Aster out of the burrow he had made at his home. His haven, as he saw it. It was the crowd milling about that made him hesitate at the door, though, a slim had on the heavy metal frame before he walked inside. Tight black jeans and a soft navy t-shirt scattered with a burned pattern of feathers clung to his slim frame. Aster wasn't typical looking - afterall, he was one of the few Asians to have permeated the industry and managed to stay there. Recently, he had grown his hair out to brush past his shoulders, the proper length to frame his slim face. <br><br>"Aster! Hey!" A tall blond bounded over to him - the artist - always eager to see him. He smiled faintly at his friend and raised a pale hand in greeting, tilting his soft eyes upwards. The brilliant blue had been inherited from his father, his mother a slim Japanese woman who had passed on her inky hair and ivory skin. He was a study in color...all blacks and whites with those heavy, lush lashes that so many males have that women don't, but then those blue eyes peeked out with a friendly smile gracing his full lips. <br><br>"It's cool," He said, gesturing at the rough splashes of color on canvas. The floor beneath them was dirty and made of metal, the show in an essentially deserted warehouse that was in a rather artsy, if dangerous, neighborhood. "I like all of this," He said, tucking his hands into his back pockets and looking up at the huge canvases. <br><br>His dark hair was free, a few streaks of blue clutching at his inky strands, those lovely Asian features lighting up when he saw his friend grin from the comments. "Hey, I've got someone cool I want you to meet. C'mon, let's go over to the bar. I think Jaken's over near there..." <br><br>Trailing behind the other man, he let his leather boots scuff the metal floor, drawing up a few paints of blood-tinted rust. "Coming." <br><br>He caught up, jogging the last few steps, then headed towards the his friend as he caught up to Jaken.<br><br>"Hey, Jaken. Whad'dyou think of the show? Oh, and this is a friend...Aster. You should say hi now...he'll probably go off and hole up somewhere. Shy." <br><br>The blond bumped Aster with a hip and Aster offered a smile to Jaken, shrugging. "Just a bit..." He took in Jaken, wondering what the other man did. Aster was rather well known, as it were, and had recently hit it fairly big with an album that had had a few songs topping the charts. With a silky smooth voice that had a hint of rasp to it in times of duress, and that shy but rather aloof air, he had been booked for a few ad campaigns that had been gracing televisions and billboards around the world.<br><br>As it were, he seemed confident, but not overly so. Merely comfortable in his rather short skin. At five foot five, he wasn't exactly going to be bowling anybody over.

				<table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/Krysia-Kitty/jaken.jpg)</td><td>Jaken who was dressed not even for an occasion like this looked over at the two, especially the short one that showed up. Jaken was a monster of a man height wise; he stood just over 6’ tall. He weighed just about 160lbs soaking wet though. He was covered in tattoos as well, jewelry, rings, several piercings and necklace around his neck with a black rose pendant. <br><br>Giving them both a smile he looked to the blond, “I assume the flyers and everything that was produced in promotion of this event were adequate?” He had a very upper class British accent on him. Rare for what his background was. His eyes turned towards Aster and he gave him a smile. “So Ryuuchi I didn’t know you had friends like this? Are you holding out on me now?” There was a small but noticeable Cheshire smile slip across Jaken’s lips. <br><br>“My assistant plays your music in the office, or should I say his girlfriend does.” He extended his hand to Aster in an almost regal manner. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet the person behind the pipes.” Shaking the young mans hand he looked around the place for a moment. “I’m very impressed with your style of art Ryuuchi, very melodramatic but alive with bright colors. I also like your use of photography under the paintings to give the pictures a bit more of a lively hood.” He smiled. “The pallets of color you’ve picked are astonishing. <br><br>Jaken smiles a bit then pulled out a card handing it to Aster, “In case you need any graphics made for your next release.” He winked at him then slipped between the two so he could head off to look at the rest of the show. He wasn’t being rude or mean, it was just in his blood to get lost in art, and him being a visual artist as well it happened to him often. <br><br>He walked over to a painting of a little girl sitting on the front porch of a house, the house was in flames. Jaken stood and stared at the picture as if he was enraptured with the painting. A smile formed over his lips, “so innocent yet surrounded by such destruction. </td></tr></tbody></table>If only she knew that the world she’d grow up in is the same way.”<br><br>He would stand there in front of the painting until someone came over to talk to him breaking his trance. A rather tall gentleman walked over to him, almost as tall as Jaken himself, stopping there and started to talk to him in Japanese. It was rather hushed so only Jakan could hear him. Jaken looked at the man and smiled nodding to him. “I’ll be at the studio tomorrow night. Tonight I need to take care of a few meetings with the council.” The male nods then heads off back out the way he came in.

				"Oh, good to hear that I have a fan here." Aster murmured with a smile, shaking his hair back over his shoulder as he looked up at Jaken. He was notably shorter than the other man, but didn't seem uncomfortable with looking up at Jaken. He was used to having to look up at people - being short, it was something that he had gotten used to. He took the proffered card, flipping it between his fingers then sticking it within his wallet, slipping it back into his pocket. He didn't want to lose it. He had heard that Jaken was quite good at what he did, and he had a feeling he would call him up to work on the next album cover, or the next poster. He was cute. Maybe, just maybe...Jaken was gay, as well? <br><br>Aster milled about, then approached Jaken a bit later, looking at the painting that seemed to have captivated the other man. "Ryuuichi does amazing paintings, doesn't he?" Aster looked at the little girl sitting on the porch of the house, flames shooting up behind her. <br><br>"What is it about this particular painting that has you so captivated?"<br><br>He smiled faintly, tilting his dark eyes up to Jaken, wondering what the other man liked. He was intrigued by Jaken - he liked the tattoos, the piercings, and the way that he stood. There was something about him that was utterly appealing. Aster was hoping to get to know him a bit better. <br><br>He had no idea, though, that the other man was a vampire. He had no idea that the other man might be anything other than the typical human who had managed to make a career in the visual arts. "It's definitely a really cool picture." He nodded, tilting his head and taking it in. <br><br>Aster definitely had a love of such things...beautiful art, beautiful people...beautiful anything, really. But not traditional beauty. He loved things that were slightly different - pushing the envelope. Tattoos and piercings, particularly, which was probably one of the reasons that he was so drawn to Jaken.

				“It’s her innocence.” He smiled a bit, “It’s the only time in her life she’ll have her eyes truly closed to the world. No fear, no hate, just unconditional love for the people taking care of her.” He looked over at Aster. “Most people don’t know the dangers of the world. They walk around with closed eyes to things that go bump in the night.” Jaken chuckled a slight bit.<br><br>Looking at the young man Jaken gave him a sideways smile now, “Do you walk through life with closed eyes Aster?” He was trying to see just how much the kid knew before getting involved with him. He could see a part of a tooth in the smile Jaken gave him. Fangs maybe? <br><br>He watched the young man studying him for a moment. So innocent to the world around him and didn’t know the dangers himself. It would probably freak out Aster to know the man standing in front of him was well over 500 years old. He didn’t look it, he adapted to the world rather well. Art is something that never faded over the years. <br><br>He looked back over to the painting on the wall. “I wonder if Ryuuchi is selling any of his paintings this time around.” Jaken smiled and looked at Aster, “you think it would look good in my office?”

				Aster smiled quietly, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear, nodding. He understood why the other man had such a love of art. It was music, for himself, that utterly engrossed him. Mostly he wasn't a huge fan of drawn or painted art but in certain pieces such as the one before him, he could see why people were so engrossed. Head tilted, he licked his lips and looked at the girl, taking her in and then smiling when told that most people went through life not knowing about things that went bump in the night.<br><br>"I like to think that I'm not totally oblivious to what goes on around me." He didn't notice the fangs, or if he did, he didn't show it. He knew nothing of vampires, and when he thought of things going bump in the night, he couldn't help but think of serial killers or rapists or murderers. Anyone like that. Terrible human beings.<br><br>But...just that. Human beings.<br><br>He had no idea that the man standing before him was far older than he would likely ever be. "I think the painting would look wonderful in your office. I mean...I don't really know what your office looks like, but I think that I piece of artwork like that would look spectacular anywhere." <br><br>He sighed, contentedly, looking up at it. "I bet Ryuuchi would sell it. To a friend like you, at least." <br><br>He smiled faintly, "Someone who appreciates art like you deserves something like this." He was shy, though, and it was rather obvious from the way that he looked down and didn't quite meet Jaken's eyes that he was nervous around the other man. Not in a bad way. In the way that someone is when they are attracted to another.

				Jaken looked at the young man that was there with another smile, “So you truly think you understand what is going on around you?” He moved his hand under Aster’s chin bringing their eyes to meet. “Would you like to know the truth? It might scare you.” He released the man’s face then looks at the painting again. “All humans are like this little girl.” <br><br>Ryuuchi headed over to the 2 of them. Watching he chuckles a bit, “Is Jaken scaring you Aster with his psychological talks again?” Jaken looked at Ryuuchi then shook his head, “Just opening a pair of eyes.” He smiled slightly, “So how much are you going to sell this one to me for?” Chuckling the young gentlemen smirks, “How about the same price as the last 3.” <br><br>Jaken smiles as he pulled out his wallet, opening and handing Ryuuchi a few bills. “I figured you’d say that.” Taking the money he smiles. “You always buy at least one from every show. I’ll have Dai package it and ship it off in the morning.” Jaken nods, “Thank you.” <br><br>He looks at Aster with a smile, “Care to go and have a talk or would you rather stay and see the rest of the pieces?” Jaken laughed a bit. “I tell you what, how about you go see the rest of the show and then meet me on the board walk.” Jaken leaned down and kissed the young gentlemen on his lips. A prelude to things to come maybe?

				Aster said nothing at first, but looked up at the other man, surprised to hear the way that he spoke of humans being like the little girl. There was something...detached, almost...about the way that he used the word human. Almost as though he weren't really one himself. His dark eyes bore into the other one, their lovey blue flickering back and forth over Jaken for a moment but that intense gaze was broken by Ryuuichi's arrival, eyes crinkling into a warm smile though he was too young to actually have laugh lines breaking his face yet. <br><br>"Just a little bit," he informed Ryuuichi, honestly interested by the other man. He was most certainly more interested than scared by him. Intrigued, at the very least. <br><br>He stood back quietly and watched as the other man bought from Ryuuichi.<br><br>Aster couldn't hide the pleasure on his face. He was glad to see his friend succeeding at art. He didn't buy a piece himself but instead studied Jaken out of the corner of his eye. He nodded when told that he could meet the other man on the board walk, suddenly freezing.<br><br>There was the brush of lips on his lips, and he didn't recoil but his eyes widened, too shocked to say anything. <br><br>He wanted...more. <br><br>Shyly, he nodded, and purposefully dragged his feet through the rest of the displays so as not to seem as though he absolutely had to see Jaken. Finally, he headed out the door, after patting Ryuuichi on the back and congratulating him once more on his show's success. <br><br>Feet tapping a beat on the sidewalk, he hummed to himself, finally heading down the creaking boardwalk to the pier. The water was like ink, lapping at the wooden poles disappearing into the water. Looking around, he finally spotted Jaken, right under some grey clouds scudding like gauze being wiped over the moon. "Hey." He bit his bottom lip - tasting, briefly, Jaken there - then immediately released it and looked at him. "What did you mean about humans, earlier?" It had been bugging him, nagging away at him, like teeth just eating away.

				Jaken stood there looking over the water there lapping up on the beach. He turned his attention to Aster when he showed up. He asked his question about humans and it made Jaken smile. “Are you willing to know the truth about what goes bump in the night?” The moon gleamed off his white fangs as he spoke to the young man. <br><br>Jaken moved close to him running the back of his hand across Aster’s cheek. “Such innocence, are you sure you want to know the truth so soon?” He leaned down kissing placing a gentle kiss on Aster’s neck. Jaken’s eyes closed feeling the blood running through Aster’s veins. He was tempted to taste the blood that was running through his body but he didn’t just yet.<br><br>Leaning back up and looking at Aster with a jovial smile now, he leaned on the rail there on the boardwalk. “So any questions you have so far? Other then the meaning behind my words in the gallery?” Jaken definitely was an enigma.

				Aster was curious to find out why the other man seemed to be such an enigma. He couldn't help but wonder about the fangs he saw - then again, there were people who got them grafted on or glued on, so he didn't really question that - though it certainly was a bit scary when paired with the way Jaken acted. <br><br>His eyes narrowed when told that he had 'such innocence', as though he wanted to deny it, though he couldn't quite say that he knew everything when Jaken was looking at him like that.<br><br>What surprised him, though, was his reaction to that kiss on his neck.<br><br>Maybe it was feeling Jaken's body tense as he smelled the blood thumping under his skin, or maybe it was the way his heartbeat sped up and both panic and lust rose in a mingled mist within his body, veiling his mind, but he suddenly felt weak in the knees when it came to that kiss. <br><br>He took a deep breath and looked away, shaking his head briefly to clear it, then looked at the other man. <br><br>"Other questions? I mostly want to know what you mean..." He whispered, looking at those fangs once again, dark eyes narrowed but gleaming in their color, "What are there...that go bump in the night?" He came over to stand straight in front of Jaken, noticeably shorter than the other man, "Tell me about the monsters out in the dark."

				Jaken looked at Aster with a smile leaning down to kiss his forehead. “Would you be willing to give yourself to me completely? To be mine?” He was asking strange questions, but they were important ones if he was going to find out about Jaken’s other life style. <br><br>He gave him a gentle smile though leaning back on the rail. “It’s a big world out there, bigger then a human could image. One that is both scary and exciting all in one breath. To leave your comfort zone and enter my world you’d never be able to go back to being a normal human again you know.”

				"I...I don't know. I mean..." He looked down, suddenly shy, "I only just met you tonight. But..." Aster let out a slow breath and scraped his feet along boardwalk briefly, not really knowing what he should say. He certainly felt drawn to Jaken in a way that he didn't understand. He wanted to spend time with Jaken, certainly, biting his bottom lip slowly as he thought about his response. "What do you mean...give myself to you completely?"<br><br>He was obviously nervous, looking out over the water, tilting his eyes upwards&nbsp; as he blinked slowly.<br><br>"I..." he mumbled, "I think I want to. I just..." <br><br>His breath was shaky, obviously a bit scared, nervous about everything that was being offered to him. He hadn't fooled around with many males, on top of that, and getting himself into a gay relationship of this depth was scary in and of itself to him. <br><br>"...Alright. For now, I guess...I'll be yours..."

				Jaken chuckled a bit at him, “There is no for now with this option Aster. It’s forever.” He didn’t sound like he was joking. He took the young man in again before looking up at the sky. “Vampires don’t let their retainers go very far.” He chuckles again and looked at him. It was apparent by the fangs in his mouth he wasn’t joking about the vampire bit. “I’ve been alive for over 500 years and only one of my retainers ever got away.”<br><br>He knew his words might scare the young man. “Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not mean to them, I treat them kindly. I’m just rather territorial over my property.” He smiles watching Aster. It was all a test, if the temptation of Jaken being a vampire was enough to keep him there or scare him away. Either way it would prove to him if Aster was really interested or not in the idea of being with him.<br><br>Jaken slipped up on the rail, “You can stay or go if you like, but I will inform you. Do not tell anyone what I told you.” He smiles a bit, “Still interested in what goes bump in the night?” He looked out over the boardwalk then back to him, “So many people don’t even know the living dead walks amongst them.” He shook his head making a tsking sound. “Shame really. Then again if they knew we’d be hunted like the foxes on an English holiday.” He sounded to serious to be making this all up.

				Aster could barely keep his jaw from dropping as he listened to the other man. His mind told him that this was all some sort of sick joke and he couldn't stop himself from thinking of anything other than what he was being told, obviously uncertain about this entire mess. He didn't really know what he had gotten himself into with Jaken. <br><br>"What's a...uhm, retainer?" It wasn't until after the other man had made the comment about vampires being hunted that Aster managed to get the words out as he looked up and sighed softly. <br><br>Aster was scared, but not scared away, terribly interested by forever.<br><br>It was something that he would never be able to understand unless he went with Jaken, and like a moth drawn to a flame he took a few steps closer and then looked up at the other man. <br><br>"I'm still interested..." He finally whispered, eyes glimmering in the half-light of the moon.<br><br>He was obviously nervous, but ready to see what was in the night, creeping around when his eyes were shut in what was certain to be an innocent and entirely human sleep.

				Jaken smiles at him, he understood Aster would have a bunch of questions about the new life he was about to get into. “A retainer is a person who works for a vampire. If you wish I could just make you a blood doll and be done with it.” He smirked a bit, knowing how it felt to be a blood doll. He after all was one until his mistress decided to make him a vampire as a sick and twisted game. It was the reason he hated female to begin with.<br><br>He watched the young man and slipped off the rail walking around him. “You have some thing to think about don’t you?” He nods, “it will be extremely different from your every day life. You’ll have to become a night person to be around me, but luckily you’ll still be able to go into the sun light.” <br><br>Jaken moved to a bench that was there, “Yes before you ask some of the legends are true. We can’t go into sunlight. Fire hurts. We have to drink blood. Excreta excreta.”

				"Work for you?" He laughed softly, though not condescendingly, "I already have a job. I sing. I write music. I don't need a job, but...what's the difference between a blood doll and a retainer? What's a blood doll, to begin with?" He frowned faintly, obviously new to all of this, not quite certain what he should think. He ran his fingers back through his hair, shaking back the dark strands, "I'm a night person already..." <br><br>When he came out, that was. He was a notoriously shy creature to begin with, something that his fans both seemed to love and resent about him. <br><br>"It may sound stupid, but...do you sleep in a coffin, as well?"

				Jaken couldn’t help but laugh at the question he asked, “No I don’t but I know a clan who has too… they even have to sleep with the soil of their home land in the coffin with them. Kind of creepy if you ask me.” He patted the bench next to him for Aster to come sit with him. No one else was around the boardwalk so they could talk openly for the most part. “I actually have a rather large room in my manor that the windows have been taken out of so the sun can not get in.” He smile a bit, he enjoyed teaching it seems even if the subject was about something that to mortals are fairy tales. <br><br>“Now the difference between being a retainer and a blood doll is blood.” He smiles, “A retainer gains the use of my blood and a blood doll I just take the blood from you and give you nothing back. You’ll eventually grow old and die with the blood doll path, but as a retainer you will remain by my side as long as you have my blood in your veins. And if you are a good boy eventually I might give you the gift of eternal life.”
