Shadow chuckled. "There is, yes. Luckily for you, I'm fond of that position. Do you want to do this now?"

Angelo’s breath caught with gladness. “Yes love I would really like to, partly because the only other things we can do in the house are things I don’t want to do again anytime soon. Other then the magic and well that can’t be done here now, since the next one is wind.”

Shadow chuckled, then started up the stairs. "My room, then..." He extended his hand as he walked. "I will show you what to do."

Grabbing his hand Angelo felt giddy with anticipation. “I have been thinking of this long and hard so do not think that it is a spur of the moment thing and that I will regret it latter.”

"It will always be a lingering fear in my mind, but I believe you," Shadow assured him, leading him up to his room. He closed the door behind them.

“Will it be after tonight?” Angelo walked over to Shadows bed and sat down. “How would you like to do this? A bit of play before or you just instruct me?”

"Do you want to play? We can incorporate play and learning..." Shadow offered, sitting next to him.

"It is part of my name," Shadow revealed, simply. "My full name is Shadowmoon Adam Jeifer. Quite a mouthful, I'd say...I just go by Shadow to keep it simple."

((he is named after my external Hard drive LOLOL))

"can I call you Shadowmoor? I like that better then just Shadow." Angelo said nuzzling into his chest.

"It is a mouthful...but, it is up to you. Shadowmoon is my full name," Shadow murmured, stroking his hair in a gentle manner.

"shadowmoor I love you and I never want to lose you." Angelo sighed then slowly fell asleep on top of Shadow.

Shadow stroked his hair, closing his eyes. They would have to get up early to move everything to the cellar. Even if they burned down and destroyed their home, their valuables would be hidden. The cellar was hidden snugly beneath the ground.

That night Angelo woke screaming. His hands grabbing tightly to Shadow as his eyes saw something different. He had seen fire, fire covering the landscape. But there was something in the air more deadly than the fire, and it burned at the touch on his skin. Even here he still seemed to have the burns though they were slowly fading from his skin.

Shadow blinked himself awake, stunned for a moment, and then gingerly pulled Angelo closer. "What's wrong...?" he asked, wearily. He wasn't completely awake.

"fire, fire and Ash." his voice sounded lost between where he was and where his mind was.

Shadow stroked his hair. "It was a dream. You're safe, now." He glanced at the clock to find that it was four in the morning. He was more awake now, and wasn't really tired. "You want to start moving things to the cellar?"

((we are in ancested Rome where did he get a clock that he can see?))

((His 'clock' is a magical one. Like a sundial, but it works inside. :3 ...Damn it, I want that thing. :( He can wave his hand over it and see the time in another part of the world.))

"my skin hurts, I dont think I would be any help to you." his voice was now normal and he was now shivering against Shadow.

Shadow kissed his cheek. "Go and take a bath." He was glad this home had an inside bath. "It will help your skin. I'll start moving everything..."

"ok." he said softly as he climbed out of bed. "I will see you in a bit then love?"

"Of course. Keep your guard up...keep your ears open. If you hear anything, alert me," Shadow murmured, sitting up and stretching.

"I will do my best love." as he walked out a few pieces of ash fell to the floor.

Shadow watched him, curiously, for a moment. Then, he stood up and started collecting valuables. He would take as much as he could carry down at one time. The books and the Lampshade flowers were first. They were important. he had the flowers in the garden, and he had them in pots along the windows.

Lighting a lamp and walking into the bathroom Angelo looked down at his skin. There were white spots all over his body some of them as big as the largest coin in Rome. His eyes grew wide as he saw that they were also slowly disappearing as he stood there. If they all were gone by the time that he was done with his bath he would not worry about them but if they were still there, then he was going to tell shadow about them.
