Day Fifteen

When: Um... in the nighttime. Day 15.
Where: Their room
Rating: PG-ish
Status: Complete

It wasn't exactly that he would say he'd been avoiding Riddick... or maybe that's precisely what he would say, actually. Since the unsettling conversation with the Ranger who spoke in riddles, and then the oddness in the library after, when he hadn't had the chance to talk to the Furyan about what he'd almost learned, he had just been spending lots of time outside his room.

Even tonight, after coming in, he'd been quiet. Not that this was all that unusual for him, really. But normally, they exchanged at least a few words. They'd become sort of comfortable, despite everything. Or so Vaako had thought. That, however, was before all sorts of weirdness had happened. Now, everything felt different. And, he couldn't for the life of him figure out if he liked it that way or not.

Strong, beautiful in his own way, Riddick was still not the type Vaako would normally find himself going for. For one thing, he'd never been unfaithful to his wife, and since they were joined, he hadn't done anything sexual with a man. For another, well, Vaako was a fairly dominant person, and tended to find those subservient to him. Riddick, well, he really wasn't. But that didn't change anything. 'His type' or not, he wanted his Lord Marshal. It was time to be very clear on that fact. Even if he never did anything about it, and he probably wouldn't, he wasn't going to lie to himself.

He'd been lying in bed, pretending to read a book, but in reality wrestling with himself, for the past couple of hours. Finally, he set the book down. With an overly-elaborate attempt at being casual, he looked over to the other bed. It was time to bite the bullet. He had some answers to get. He was going to use all his considerable skill at subtlety, but he was going to ask his questions.

"My Lord Riddick..." He began in an overly formal way, and then could have smacked himself. But he kept going, hoping the other man wouldn't hate him. "I had an... interesting conversation yesterday."

Riddick still had not been able to sleep. His mind was reeling, in several places. His body hurt, his head hurt and his heart was killing him and he couldn't figure out why. So for the first time since he arrived here, Riddick had stayed in bed all day and night. When Vaako moved in and out silently, he pretended to sleep. Not that Vaako came back often and it hurt Riddick.

He could not figure this out. He knew one thing and that was he wanted the Necromonger. He already admitted that but there was something else there something so much more and it scared him shitless.

The book yesterday was speaking of things that he never wanted to think of. Never wanted to face. It was wrong end of story. There was just no way. But yet everything inside of him said the book was right. He had no answers here and that scared him.

When he felt Vaako near heard that voice saying his name, Riddick dropped the pretense of sleeping and turned toward him growling.

"Riddick, damn you. It's Riddick." Then he paused not sure what he meant. "Yeah what about?"

He'd gone to the library. And he'd read every last word in that book, just to learn more about this. At first, it had just been to prove it was wrong. That he wasn't this... equal that was spoken of. He knew Riddick wouldn't want it that way, and he firmly told himself over and over again, neither did he. Only he wasn't buying it, no matter how often he told himself differently.

Anyway, he knew more than he had before, and to say he was scared, well, it was a major understatement. But he forged on despite this. He had questions to ask. And deep in the recesses of his mind, a favor to ask, to beg for, if necessary. But all that, he shoved aside for now. He needed to know something first.

"I spoke with someone who called himself Aragorn... a friend of an elf, whatever that is, named Legolas. He said you...mentioned me to this elf creature. I want to know... why. And Aragorn said there was some mysterious circumstances around it, but he wouldn't say what..."

He let his voice trail off, and looked away, his pale skin flushing slightly. This wasn't the sort of thing the First Commander typically asked the Lord Marshal. But, then, Riddick had made it very clear he didn't want to be his Lord Marshal.

Riddick thought of the lights bringing them down just enough that he could tolerate them without his goggles but enough to where Vaako could see and be seen. Something he had done so much of here lately.Making sure that his First was comfort. His first he thought bitterly.According to the damn book Cylus was his equal. And why did that thought make his heart race?

He listened intently showing no emotion not even when Legolas was mentioned. Though inwardly he hated himself for what he had done. He had kissed him out of pain. He was so blinded that he thought it was Vaako.And for his mistake greatly. The pain had been worse than anything he had felt. Just as it had been when the Elf had went to touch him.

Riddick was an honest man so he would be honest. Despite the great fear he would loose Vaako which made him wonder just what Vaako was to him. As if he didn't know. He was damn sure he did. So he spoke openly,honestly.

"Legolas, the Elf who greeted me. We don't exactly get along. Nothing new." He paused and shrugged. "Don't know this Aagorn. Don't care. But I won't lie. Yesterday Legolas and I ran into each other. He tried to help.. I was in so much fucking pain.It blinded me.. I kissed him."

He paused and looked at Vaako intently wondering how the Necro would take this. "Where you come in at is I thought it was you. I didn't see him, all I saw was you and I called him you."

Now, Vaako he thought what have you to say to that?

He'd noticed, and he'd wondered just why Riddick would bother doing such a thing. The other man had been here first, and was his Lord Marshal besides. If he wanted to keep it fully dark, Vaako would deal. But he didn't. And he was able to see the other man through the dim light. Hazel eyes sought out, and found, the man on the other bed.

"Aragorn seemed a decent man, although too busy trying to defend this elf from any homicidal urges I voiced. A good person."

He didn't explain just why he would have these homicidal urges. And about Aragorn being a good person, well, he just wasn't really used to having them around. It was a novelty. He wasn't sure if he felt contempt or curiousity about the ranger. Either way, though, it was new. But he suddenly wasn't thinking much about it. His eyes narrowed, and he fought with himself before speaking.

"I see. You kissed him. Well, I suppose that could explain why Aragorn was so thoughtful. I sense..."

He shook his head and looked away, unable to pretend to be normal. So it would be best to speak not at all. But then, Riddick kept going. As he listened, Vaako took the beads that held his braids in place out, and started freeing his long hair from it's bonds. When he was told that Riddick had spoken his name during the kiss that had caused so much trouble, his eyebrows rose just slightly in surprise.

"Interesting. Riddick... I need something from you. I need you to be the Lord Marshal for just a second. I need to ask for something only he can give. Honor demands it."

Breathless, excited... such an odd way to feel. But Riddick, Riddick had said things that had Vaako wondering if these feelings were really so one-sided. Before he could explore this, though, or even start, he had something he needed to get out of the way.

Riddick watched every move of the other man intently. He listened to every word. He thought of what it would feel like to just give into what he was feeling, to give into these urges he was having.

Riddick never did attachment or love. He had only come close with a few others in the past. But never like this. As much as he would deny it, Riddick knew the truth. Vaako was indeed his equal. He was in every way what Riddick needed. A balance so to speak. He raised a brow,

"Homicidal thoughts.....? I am sure Legolas will be having plenty of those should we ever meet again." He paused because nothing else, nothing at all could compare to the sudden feeling he just got. It took his breath away and left him speechless.

It was the action of Vaako taking his hair down and fuck the way Riddick's fingers itched to tangle within the long locks. And then he spoke those words and Riddick wanted to argue. He wanted to tell him to go to hell. But the seriousness behind them, the tone Vaako had and just this feeling so deep within had Riddick nodding.

"Just this once I will be who you want me to be. But only this time Vaako.I'm not your Lord Marshal and we both know it."

As he waited he felt for the first time in his life nervous. Flat out nervousness.He was shaking and his eyes never left those of the other man.

He'd been pretty sure that Riddick would refuse, and he'd been prepared for it. Or so he'd thought. But then, the other man accepted it, however reluctantly. And Vaako, who had been so sure that obedience would demand he not speak on the subject he was about to, was now in the somewhat uncomfortable position of being called on what he had said. Too late now, though. So he took a deep breath and plunged into it.

"Really, for this to be right, you should be sitting in a chair, and I should be wearing my armor..." He'd taken the armor off ages ago, though, and wasn't about to put it back on. "But since I see you as a very informal sort of Lord Marshal, I'll try to adjust."

He stood, his hair long and flowing over his shoulders and back as he walked the short distance over to the other man's bed, where he was lounging. And fighting down a very odd sense that this wasn't right, to be kneeling to Riddick like this, he dropped to one knee and lowered his head respectfully. Why did it feel so bizarre to do this? He'd been kneeling to Lord Marshals since he could remember, really. Had he really changed so much in such a short time?

"I have a request, my Lord. In the Necromonger society, marriage is forever. With one exception. If the Lord Marshal decrees it, the marriage may be broken. This is what I would ask of you, that you break the joining between Dame Vaako and myself. I can give you reasons, if you require them."

He didn't dare move, and stayed in the exact position he was in, on his knees, a supplicant. This was the only way. If he wanted to be rid of the manipulative woman who wasn't even on the same world as he was, he had to do it this way. So, he waited, and wondered what Riddick was going to say about this request. It must seem odd for him to have asked this.

Riddick listened to him talk, listened to his suggestions, but he made no move to move himself from the bed. Something was quite off here. But it was important to Vaako, Riddick could tell. And it was another sign that Vaako had come to mean more to Riddick then he could explain. Because he was willing to do what he thought was best. Even doing something like this. Something he never wanted to do. Perhaps he shouldn't have agreed, Riddick thought. Because he got the feeling everything was about to change again. And he wasn't sure he could deal with it.

"We take what we can get." he said firmly. He wasn't going to conform for just one second. There was no point.

Then the request was asked and without thinking he spoke, and it surely wasn't something a Lord Marshal would say. But then again this was Riddick.

"Why bring up the bitch now?" He asked in a voice that really, held so much he couldn't name. He never liked her. He never thought of why he didn't like her. But he knew . It was because she had Vaako and he didn't like it. Now Vaako was asking him to end the marriage and he couldn't say yes fast enough.

"You got it. Don't have to ask me fucking twice. Consider it ended. What do I need to do?"Eager, perhaps. Which he was kicking himself for. But hearing this from Vaako made his heart race, made him want to eagerly give Vaako what he wanted. Hell he realized that he would give Vaako anything and everything he wanted regardless.

"Don't rightly give a shit about your reasons. Knowing you want it is enough." Though he did wonder why Vaako wanted the marriage ended. It hardly seemed to matter since she was not here. But he knew that was not the reason Vaako wanted the relationship done. He knew there was something more. A reason why it was so important and Riddick wondered what it was. But he couldn't seem to ask.

He could remember a time, after he was first joined with her, that anyone speaking about Dame Vaako as Riddick had just done would have left him honor-bound to attempt to kill them. Not only that, but he could remember a time when he would have gladly done it. Had he ever loved her? No, but he had wanted to possess her. Quickly he'd realized it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. And now, when Riddick spoke of her like that, he only laughed softly, and kept his position on one knee in front of his Lord Marshal.

"I bring her up now because, as I said, Necromonger marriages last forever, unless sundered by the Lord Marshal. It's simple enough."

Riddick's reaction had him blinking slightly, and he forgot himself enough to raise his head so his hazel eyes met and held the other man's shining silvery ones. Again, he had the odd experience of not bouncing off them like most people did. He could see through to the emotions that shone beneath.

"You don't have to do anything, just saying it is enough. So, you grant my request, and mean it, and the bond is broken forever."

As he spoke the words, he felt this... well, it was cliche, but he felt a great weight being lifted off his shoulders. He was free. The years of manipulation and emotional abuse were over. He didn't have to think of her ever again. And he smiled, actually really, truly smiled, as he looked into the gleaming, silvery eyes of the Furyan.

"My thanks... you don't know what you do, in freeing me. And you can stop being the Lord Marshal now." But Vaako stayed on the floor, looking up at the other man with eyes filled with emotion.

Just like that and vaako was free. He was no longer bound to someone who didn't deserve him. To someone who only used him to gain something she was not deserving of. The whole keep what you kill thing came back to him and he wasn't shocked to learn that if it ever had come to it he would have killed her to keep Vaako. And so much wanted to escape him.Like telling Vaako an answer to a question a while back about what possession of the Dame's he wanted. He knew the answer then. And he knew it now.What he wanted of hers, what he wanted to make his. But more importantly,he knew what he wanted to make him theirs.

"About fucking time." He spoke in a firm tone. He had wanted this for quite sometime though he never admitted it. He would have said more but then the strangest thing happened, just as when he saw Vaako let his hair down,his body did something quite strange. His heart raced, his body shook and at that moment he felt something almost flowing from the print on his chest.

Cylus smiled.A true,real smile creased those lips.and then the words ""My thanks... you don't know what you do, in freeing me...." Oh holy fucking hell. Jesus. He didn't feel pain he felt like he could fucking fly. He felt dizzy,light headed. He had never felt like this before.

The print was aglow brightly it could be seen through his shirt and the emotion and sensations flowing from it had him reaching out for Vaako's hand and he brought it up to his chest, placing it open palmed over the print so it was matched once more. And the jolt of emotion that went through him had him breathless as he gasped for air.

"Something.... something is happening." Then just as quickly this sense of something dark and dangerous came over him for only a second.It was gone just as quickly as it came but it left him shaking once more,his silvery eyes taking on another shine.

He could have gone back to his bed, perhaps he should have. But then, a very strong realization came over him. All the years he'd been joined to Dame Vaako, and he'd never strayed even once. He had too much honor for that. Well, now he didn't have to avoid thinking about it, did he? He could do... whatever he wanted. Again, he smiled, and his hazel eyes sought out Riddick's silvery ones. Whatever he wanted...

A strange jolt went through his slender, well-muscled body. He frowned curiously. It didn't hurt, it just felt sort of dizzy, really. He tilted his head experimentally to the side. It didn't feel like getting sick. And anyway, Necromongers couldn't get sick. The part of them that was changed wouldn't allow it.

The glow on Riddick's chest drew his eye, and he was reaching for the print even before his hand was placed there. Looks like they'd had the same thought at the same time. Still kneeling beside the bed, he kept his hand pressed against the other man's chest. He felt warm, and he was all too aware of Riddick's muscles beneath his fingers.

"....Rick? What..." He gasped as something shook him, something was... coming for him, wasn't it? Something dark and dangerous, evil, and it wanted him. "What's going on? I didn't read anything about this in the book..."

The touch. Fuck that touch. He felt it deep down inside. His body was shaking, his heart was racing and his eyes were closed against it all. It was too much. He wasn't used to this. He could feel Vaako inside of him to the very core. Like their blood was flowing together though his very veins.

The danger.. that dread and fear was back. And it had him.. hell he couldn't explain it. He felt helpless. And all the other shit didn't help. He was feeling too much, to intense and too fast.

"Cylus.. what the ..?" He asked his voice dripping with everything going on. He felt.. lightheaded again but not in a good way this time. "This wasn't in that damn book.. something.. this.. I feel.. you" It was all he could get out

He slowly climbed up off the floor and sat down on the bed, his hand not leaving the other man's chest. Slowly, he exerted pressure on Riddick's chest, the first time he'd dared to do anything like that. The days kept passing, though, since he'd gone to be pufified last. It was wearing off, if his nightmares were anything to go by.

As he pushed Riddick down, he lay down as well. His hand stayed on the other man's chest, feeling the muscles beneath his fingers. He could feel Riddick's heart beating. It made him smile, for some reason that he wasn't even close to sure about.

Cautiously, almost like an animal who is scared to show affection because they've been beaten one too many times, Vaako rested his head on Riddick's shoulder. He felt like he was being too forward, too daring, but after all they'd shared, surely he would be allowed too do this. Even if he wasn't, Riddick would surely make this very clear.

The man with the long, dark hair still hanging around his shoulders and back yawned softly as he lay there, waiting to see if Riddick would push him away, if he would yell at him or hurt him.

"Let's sleep, then. This is too much for me to take just now, and with this feeling that something is coming for me, I just want to rest without the dreams."

He didn't protest. He couldn't. He was too frozen with everything that when Vaako was beside of him Riddick did something he had never done before. He moved toward Vaako, wrapped strong arms around him and pulled him close protecting him yet clinging to him as well.

" Sleep.. too much." He mumbled his eyes already closing from his weakness. Something..all of this. They would figure it out he hoped.

Just before he allowed himself to give completely into sleep, Riddick once more did something he would have never done before. He spoke openly, honestly . But sleep was taking him quickly.

"I will protect you nothing will take you.." his voice went softer as sleep took him completely. "Away from me..."
