Sam nodded rememberin that blood couldn't hurt him and swallowed. He was doing his best not to get sick again, he had a very sensative stomach when it came to blood. Looking at the small shop he shook his head and got out. Locking the car he then watched as Elros stripped out of his shirt. Immediately he wanted to wrap his arms around that deliciously strong chest and trace every single scar. It nearly made him shiver in excitement on the imagery that was going threw his head right then, and it certainly wasn't clean thoughts. Taking Elros's hand he walked him into the store and the guy at the desk seemed to perk up seeing the cute 'girl'. Sam flashed him a smile and then walked Elros to the mend section and looked around. "We are both going to need a few pairs of clothes..." he said thoughtfully and then smiled pulling out a few shirts, two zip up sweatshirts, and then looked up at Elros. "Grab two pairs of jeans... I need to get clothes for myself... Oh and don't forget sleep pants." he warned lightly and then smiled before walking over to the girls section. As he was shopping the male cashier waslked over and began flirting with Sam, who was trying his best not to flirt back and was blushing at some of the comments said to him. Picking out a pair of shorts, skinny jeans, and a few tshirts, he wanted to head to the pjs, but the cashier just wouldn't budge. He got this a lot... He would attract someone so much that they wouldn't stop until they were nearly groping him. "Please... I need to get over there..." he said softly and then the guy grabbed a practically see threw nightgown and whispered in Sam's ear making him freeze and blush deeply.

Elros walked in with Sam and kept a good grip on his hand just incase any enemies were here. But he calmed down once they started to pick out clothing. He grabbed more here and there then nodded when he heard Sam. He watched him go but when he saw the cashier chase after he wanted punch him. Grabbing what ever was close and what he needed he walked over. Grabbing the guy by the neck he picked him up and off the ground like he weighted bother. "is he bothering you." he asked as henlooked at Sam. His eyes flashed red and you could tell if he didn't calm down the cashier would probably end up like the men in the bathroom. Before Sam could give him a answer he got in the cashiers face, "leave Sam alone." and a almost inhuman growl followed it. It made thr man shake and the instant that elros let him go he ran back to his counter.

Sam was shocked as Elros stomped over to them and watched in awe as those massive muscles flexed and contracted as he picked the cashier up by the throat. Breathless Sam grabbed Elros's free arm and watched as he ordered the cashier not to bug him again. Seeing the look in the male's eyes he wrapped his arms around his waist tightly and birdies his face Ito his chest, "Thank you... I'm okay..." he whispered and then looked up at him with big blue eyes. "He was just being a pervert... He didn't hurt me..." he whispered and then grabbed the first normal looking pjs he found and looked up at Elros. "Let's check out..." he whispered softly and went to the woman cashier and paid for everything with his check. Then holding some of the bags they walked out and Sam looked at Elros. "We should find a hotel and get a room... And then plan on what roads to use tomorrow.." he whispered and then pulled out a shirt and handed it to Elros. "Thank you for saving me again... You're really good at that." he said sheepishly with a smile and a slight blush.

Elros watched thr cashier go and relaxed whennhe felt sam hug him. Wrapping his arms around him he nodded, "if anyone bugs you like that just tell me. I will set them straight." he said to him softky and then watched him as he grabbed pjs. Heading over to the counter he watched the male cashire carefully, if he tried to do anythinf elros would know. He walked out and nodded, "i know of a motel just down the road. It is cheap and tucked ito thr hills so no one really knows about it. After that we can head up and over the mountains heading towards montana." he said and it was clear he had planned this before. He always had to have a plan just incase something happened. Hr then slid on his shirt and smirked, "i cant let my only friend get harrassed or hurt." he said and thrn stuck the rest of thr bags into he car. "now lets go, we need to get moving." he said as he slid into the drivers seat.

Sam looked at Elros and then nodded. He got into car and put his hand on the wheel. "Please tell me it's not one of those... Run down... Family owned.... Non chain hotels..." he whispered horrified and then looked at Elros seriously. "I refuse to go to anything like that." he hissed viciously and then seeing the shock on the males face he continued to explain. "When I was younger a man kidnapped me and held me for Randsom.... But my parents wouldn't veggie money and lay... I wasn't important enough..." he whispered and shivered. "He kept me in a motel for months... Abusing me... Raping me..." he whispered and then hugged himself. "We need to go to a good hotel.... I mean it." he whispered softly.

Elros was surprised when he heard the nice boy he had come to know so far turn evil at the mention of a cheep motel. Though when he heard the explanation he gently reached out and took his hand into his. "dont worry, I wont take you to any place you dont like and no one will ever do anything like that with you while I am near." he said and continued to drive. He hated the htought of anything like that. He had been treated as anything and everything while he was being experimented on. So he had a feeling he could understand what he felt like. Just the thought of going back to the lab made him want to shiver. Driving more he soon pulled up to a hotel and looked at Sam, "how is this?" he asked and hoped that this was fine with him.

Sam kept a comforting hand on Elros and then nodded slowly. He watched the countryside go by and then nodded. "This will be fine..." he whispered and then got out of the car, grabbing their clothes from the trunk. Smiling lightly he grabbed Elros's hand and walked inside. He only had to talk with the man at the counter for a second before pulling Elros into an elevator. "We got a suit." he explained lightly and ran a hand threw his hair. He waited patiently and then Walked into the room. Smiling and signing he set the stuff down on the king sized bed. "We need to shower..." he said and then reache for the zipper in his dress and struggled trying to get it. "Elros... Can you help me?" he asked softly.

Elros smiled when he heard Sam and then got out of the car. Walking over to his side he let him take his hand as they headed inside. When he heard Sam he couldn't help but smile, "good." he said simply and when he saw the suit he smiled. Though when he heard him he nodded, "you take a shower first." he said and then smirked when he saw him. Walking over he gently unzipped him, "there you go." he said as he smiled at Sam. He then walked over to the bathroom and quickly checked inside. No one was there and he relaxed. "okay, everything is clear." he said before he sat down on the bed and tried to relax yet found it was impossible like usual.

Sam felt Elros's hand on his dress and bit his lip as he closed his eyes. The feeling nearly made him shiver and he opened his eyes as Elros left his side to check the bathroom. He watched Elros and then thanked him softly before slipping into the bathroom. Seeing all the products that came with the room he sighed happily and began to shower. He loved the feel of being clean and boyish thoughts about Elros began running threw his head. Biting his lips as he finished after shaving his legs he wrapped himself in a towel and pouted. Why couldnt he have a chest? He would be much better as a girl... Stepping out he smiled at Elros and then grabbed some underwear and then blushed realizing he had picked out a nightgown. It wasn't sluggish or anything.... But it was a nightgown...

Elros relaxed and on the bed and layed down. He thought about everything that had happened yet his mind wandered to Sam. Somethig about him stured a feeling, it was odd and he hadn't felt it before. His thoughts were I terupted when he saw Sam come out and stood up. He had to admit that he looked nice, better to him then other people. Heading over to the bathroom he stripped his shirt and looked over at Sam. "stay away from the windows and if anyone comes to the door don't open it. I will only be a moment." he said and now you could see his back. Long jagged scars ran across his back and you could clearly tell theu had opened his back up, almost as If they were going to disect him or put something inside. He then headed into the bathroom and quickly washed. Heading out he pulled on the pj pants he got and then layed down on the bed. "we better sleep and then plan in the morning." he said as he looked at Sam.

Sam watched as Elros got up and spoke. Nodding and taking the security cation to heart he began looking for underwear again when he heard Elros get up off the bed. Watching he covered his mouth as not to gasp at the horrible scars on his back. They brought tears to his eyes, knowing that this new friend of his had been suffering his whole entire life. Shaking his head he let the towel drop from his body and then pulled on the pink girls panties. Adjusting himself in them and then pulling on the nightgown he hung up the towel and then slid into bed, closing his eyes and thinking about Elros. Shocked hearing the male already done he sar up and then slowly laid back down, dishearted about Elros not facing him when laying down. He wanted to stay awake and just talk, learn things about eachother... Sighing softly he closed his eyes and snuggled underneath the blankets.

Elros sighed as he tried to get comfortable yet after a few minutes he growled and sat up. He could never sleep, infact he didn't remember The last time he had gotten a full nights sleep or even a hour of sleep. Looming over at Sam he wondered hoe lucky he could of been to be like him. To be normal. He couldn't even comprehend what a normal life was like. As he watched Sam the odd desire to stroked his head filled him. It was something he had never felt before and he just sat there thinkig. Everything he felt for Sam lately was different. He had no idea what he felt but he knew he couldn't leave Sam. That feeling was clear and he also knew he had to protect him with his life.

Sam slowly opened his eyes as he felt Elros shift in the bed ocwordly and then heard a soft growl. Rubbing his bright eyes cutely he blinked tiredly up at Elros. "Can't sleep?" he whispered softly and then smiled tiredly. "Here... Lay down on your stomach, I'll give you a massage to relax you...." he whispered huskily and smiled at the taller make waiting for him to comply. "I get back massages all the time and I've learned from experience. He then closed his eyes and and streched giving anoint yawn.

Elros wasnt sure if he should lay down on his stomach but there was no harm in it. Laying down he rested his head onnhis stomach and relaxed a littl more. "you dont have to massage, my skin is a little rough and hard for that." he said and knew that it probably felt horrible. As he layed there he still couldnt sleep but it was better thrn before. "and i normally dont sleep. Sleep either brings nightmares or pain or both. So usually i just sit up and watch the moon." he said as he loomed at sam. He thrn wondered what his life was like, what it was like to be normal. He had never gotten the chance to be normal, he couldnt even remember when thr government got ahold of him. He wasnt even sure if he was sams age or not.

Sam looked at Elros with a soft gaze and then gently sat up. Watching as Elros laid down he then straddled his rear and began to rub his hands down Elros's scarred back. Smiling gently he then began applying his body weight and rubbed his back expertly, working out kinks and aches. "You need more massages." he said softly and smiled softly. "I'll give you a message every ignt if you want." the feminin blonde whispered as he took great care in massaging the other male
S back.

Elros had to fight thr urge to throw Sam off of him when he stradled him. Gripping he bed when he felt Sam touch him he forced himself not to attack. After a few minutes he started to relax and thrn closed his eyes as he relaxed for the first time. When he heard Sams offer he thought for a moment and then nodded, "that sounds good, I thunk I will need ot." he said and focused on the feel of Sams hands on his back. His hands were nice on his back and he knew he wanted him to do it again. "so why did you ask me out?" he asked since he had thought about it innthe back of his mind for a while. He was odd at school and no one really liked him so why?

Sam looked at Elros's head and then sighed knowing that this question was coming. He shook his head and then began working on knot in his back. "At first it was a dare.... When you first came they dared me to... And I told them no...." he whispered recurring to the group if girls he hung out with alot. "Finally I became more confident with my.... Girlish attributes.... And I saw you as a challenge..." he said and bit his lip. "I used the dare as an excuse to not make menback out in asking you out..." he admitted and waited for Elros to be angry with him and yell.

Elros listened to him and closed his eyes. He didn't say anything for a little while and then finally opened his eyes. Turning to look at Sam from the corner of his eye he said, "so I am a challenge and you wanted to ask me out." He then smirked, something that made him look dangerous and yet made you want to get closer to him. In less then a second he had managed to turn around so he was laying on his back and looking at sam dead on. "can I ask what makes you want to ask me out? I mean if I remember correctly we didn't even talk or anything when in school. So why?" he asked and was generally curious. He had seen couples at school and seen people ask each other out yet he didn't understand why anyone would want to ask him out.

Sam blushed and squeaked as he felt Elros rolling over. Shocked as he found himself attacking the male's lap he had a massive blush in his cheeks. Biting his lip hearing Elros and seeing the smirk he nearly hurried his face into the other boy's chest but refrained and tried keeping himself from figiting. "Y-you are very mysterious... Very... Strong willed and aggressive..." he whispered the blush only burning brighter on his cheeks. "Agreesive guys are a challenge... To me... Especially straight ones." he admitted sheepishly and then turned his head away. He was completely embarrassed at this point. He never revealed this much information to anyone before.

Elros saw the blush that was on his cheeks and though it looked.. He didn't know all he knew was that he liked it. As he listened he nodded and then thought about the straight comment. Looking at him in the eyes, "and how do you know I am straight?" he asked since only when hewas in school did he find out about straights and gays. "for even I don't know the answer to that. I never had time for any kind of relationship till now. Your my first friend and I am enjoying my time with you, enjoying it alot." he said as he looked at him and tried to think of what he was. Yet he had never been in love, had a crush or anything so he couldn't really know.

Sam was surprised and looked down at Elros shocked. He didn't know if he was straight or not? He was sure that Elros was straight and hearing that the male didn't know his own sexuality. So he might have a chance. "You don't know?!" he asked shocked and then smiled widely. "I'm glad that you're enjoying my company... " he said and then let himself gently lay down against Elros's amazing chest. Smiling he giggled and then grinned up at Elros. "So I'm still a possible option then." he murmured happily and then burried his face in his chest.

Elros shook his head when he heard him, "nope." he said and then smiled back. He was surprised at hoe comfortable he was with sam laying on his chest and wrapped a arm around him gentky. He then nidded and chuckled as he saw his friend burie his face in his chest, "yes, your still a option." he said as he looked down at him. He found himself running a hand threw sams hair gently and saying, "i just have to figure out what love feels like. I never felt it before so when i figure that out i will tell you." he said to him softly. "now get some sleep, we both need it." he said as he pulled the blankets over them.

Looking at Elros Sam was slowly finding himself falling asleep by his rythmically timed petting. He enjoyed the warmth and was soon asleep knowing that he had never loved anyone either. It was saddening to think so but true. Falling asleep deeply he enjoyed the restfulness and fullness of the sleep was amazingly refreshing and Sam found himself waking to the knock of room service. He had never cuddled that long with a lover. He was usually thrown out of the house or asked to leave when the other woke up early.

Elros smiled as he watched Sam fall asleep in his arms. He stopped stroking his head and just watched him. He wasn't sure what love what but maybe he could find out sooner or later. Closing his eyes he soon found himself asleep along side him. He woke up about a hour after the sun came up and smiled as he saw sam was still in his arms. Reaching out he grabbed the phone that was just in reach and called room service. He asked for their best breakfast and then hung up. After a big room service came and woke up sam. Looking down at him he smiled, "I got room service for us." he said and then slowly slid away from Sam. He still didn't trust anyone coming into the room so he opedn the door, tipped the guy and took the foot. Walking back over to sam he set the food on the bed.

Sam was surprised to find himself woken up by Elros. Smiling tiredly he watched as the food was brought in by the other male and slowly sat up, licking his lips. Realizing his panties were revealed by his nightgown being up to his stomach. Blushing deeply he pulled the nightgown down and then crawled over to the food. "You're so thoughtful... Thank you..." he whispered softly and then looked over the food smiling. "It looks amazing...." he breathed softly and then looked up at Elros. "What do you want?" he asked curiously.
