..Secrets..(Revell)

[Duke Xavier Hollows]

Xavier was in his suite by himself his nanny and her husband had gone back home, he was grown up and they didn't think that he needed them anymore. He had an adopted mom and people he thought of as his real family. There were things he was so confused about like what his heart wanted and what he knew in his head were either of them right for him. Sure he had liked a girl in court but she was snobby so he hadn't been around her and didn't want to either. He had talked to his mom about it and understood there was someone out there for him but where and when would they come? Hanging around with other lycans his age he felt his heart always sink seeing them snuggling with their soulmates.

He thought about his friends again and about Revell another lycan who was a scout in the King's pack. Thinking the older lycan was nice but rather guarded and a bit cold when he was around him but didn't do anything to make Xavier afraid of him. But thought Revell had a valid reason and wondered what his story was, he didn't really know much about him. Coming out of his studio after working on a small painting he fell asleep on his bed and curled up for a short nap he was quite sleepy. His mass of hair covered his face he fell into a deep sleep wondering and hoping if he would ever be in a pack or have a family again. That was a wish he had and really wished it would come true.

Revell headed towards Xavier's suite, he'd been watching over him since he had come to the court. Now though the little wolf he'd been watching over was all grown up even his nanny and her husband had left him on his own. He'd been watching Xavier from the background waiting for him to grow up and be ready to court. He and his wolf had known Xavier was their mate as soon as he'd arrived but he'd been to young then and Revell hadn't wanted to do anything that might cause the young wolf to become alienated from him.

Revell paused outside Xavier's suite thinking over what he was about to do. He didn't think there would be anything wrong with what he was going to do but then there were a lot of things he'd done that people misunderstood. Most people thought he was cold but he just didn't know how to go about being social, and that was his parents' fault. His hands fisted and he hurriedly relaxed his hands again not wanting to crumple the rose he held.

Thoughts of his parents always caused him to get a bit upset, but they were gone now and he was free of them. He had a pack that loved him and now he was going to try and get his mate as well. Letting out a long breath he closed his eyes for a second composing himself before he opened Xavier's door. When he entered Xavier's scent filled his senses and he smiled moving in more in search of the lycan himself.

Revell's feet led him to a sleeping Xavier and he smiled down at the younger lycan. He had hoped to maybe talking to him but seeing him sleeping Revell couldn't find it in himself to wake him. He leaned down and placed the rose next to him on the pillow but lingered. He gently pushed some hair from Xavier's face and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. When he straightened he pulled the note out of his back pocket and placed it next to the rose. He cpuldn't resist one more touch. He'd waited years to be near his angle eyes wolf and now this close...Luna help him one more touch wouldn't be to much to ask. He ran a finger lightly down Xavier's cheek.

Xavier ever since he had come there as a baby he had seen Revell around in the shadows from his nanny's arms, his small hands had reached for him but was never taken by the older wolf. Then not long after he started to find little gifts in his room from clothes to toys to play with, he still had the stuffed animals and other goodies tucked away for safe keeping, he wanted nothing to happen to them. When ever he saw the older lycan around his wolf stirred but he didn't really get why it was like that. He had grown up into a find young wolf because of his mom, his nanny and her husband but it was more his mom then anything, who raised him. Curled up there on his bed dreaming about different things, he didn't know Revell was outside his suite door but wouldn't send him away either. He wanted to be his friend but didn't want to press the matter any.

He hadn't heard from anyone what happened to Revell when he was younger but if he had Xavier would have taken offense to it, not thinking it was right. Dreaming that he was running through the woods with a pack just barking and having fun without a care in the world. Nestling down into his comfy bed with his legs curled under him. Still sound asleep when he was found by Revell he sighed softly in his sleep. His mass of long hair had fallen into his face, his soft as silk face was slightly hidden by his hair. He smiled in his sleep he was having some good dreams and was in such a deep sleep his eyes didn't open yet even when his cheek was caressed. The angel eyed young man's hand rested there near his face, making him look like a real angel he was already very unearthly looking.

His chest softly rose and quietly fell under the comfy black tank top he had on. Having a dream that his parents were still alive and what would of maybe happened, would he have ended up at court or not. Speaking in his sleep in Swedish it was one of 7 different languages he was able to speak fluently since he had 7 different language tutors in his life. He was seeing a wolf in his dreams it was Revell in wolf form but Xavier hadn't ever seen the older wolf in his wolf form so he didn't know it was him. In the forest in his dreams he saw a wolf come out of the mist to him, sniffing and licking his hand. "Vem är du?" Looking down at the wolf intently and carefully, his heart was racing he was scared and nervous. "Varför är du här?" His eyes glanced around then back at the wolf before him.

Listening to the sounds around him all the sounds that come at night. Wild wolves around howling to a full moon he smiled and looked back to the wolf near him. Chewing on on his bottom lip as he stood there in his pjs and bare feet. Sitting down under a tree after a little while and watched the wolf paw over to him, rubbed on the cheek gently by the wolf. Xavier reached up and gently caress the wolf's soft ear and lightly leaned back against the tree watching him. Chewing on his bottom lip he ended up with the large head in his lap.

("Vem är du?" means "Who are you?")
("Varför är du här?" means "Why are you here?")

[revell]

Revell heard the soft whispers as Xavier slept. He glanced at the door then back at Xavier. He hadn't quiet heard what he'd said but just the thought that he'd mumbled anything at all after he'd touched him made Revell increasingly curious. Placing a knee on the bed just touching Xavier's back he leaned down his hands on either side of Xavier as he listened closely.

Both he and his wolf held their breath as they waited for whatever Xavier might mumble next even something completely unintelligable was enough, just so long as he could hear Xavier's voice. Espcially this close, Revell had kept his distance and not really talked to his soon-to-be-mate as much as possible. He hadn't wanted to even have to worry about giving in when Xavier was young but now. Now he wanted to hear Xavier speak to him closely and in intimate whispers only meant for a lover.

Revell licked his lips as he waited and when he heard the Swedish lit and the mumbled words that were lost on him his heart gave a funny little beat. He was slightly sad that he didn't know what Xavier had said but he was also proud of his little angle eyed wolf. He'd heard that Xavier knew many languages and that he was so fluent in them that he even spoke them in his sleep awed him. Languages weren't his thing but knowing that Xavier was so good at them maybe he would give them another try that way he and his soon-to-be-mate could talk in whatever language caught Xavier's fancy that day.

With a soft sigh he tucked some of Xavier's hair behind his ear so he could have one last look at his face. His fingers savoring the sweet kiss of Xavier's silky strands. He leaned down so his lips were just a hair's breath from Xavier's ear. Revell had to pause he hadn't been prepared for the rush of Xavier's scent when he got that close. He closed his eyes smiling softly as he drew in a breath and let it out slowly. His wolf wanted to roll in that scent be completely covered in it while he wanted it to cling to his skin.

Recollecting his thoughts and dragging himself away from his desire to just lay down next to Xavier and wrap his arms around him he whispered into Xavier's ear."Dormire bene il mio amore ci rivedremo presto." He reached out tracing Xavier's hand next to his face lightly his lips still by his ear as he spoke the last in his Italian accent. "Sogno di me fino ad allora, so che il sogno di te."

(Dormire bene il mio amore ci rivedremo presto= Sleep well my love we will see each other soon)
(Sogno di me fino ad allora, so che il sogno di te= Dream of me until then, I know I will dream of you.)

[Duke Xavier Hollows]

He sometimes did talk in his sleep his mom had heard him speak in another language before. Xavier spoke again in Swedish he had gone into a deeper sleep as his back was touched it relaxed him. Mumbling the next moment in English instead his dream had gone from where it had been to something else. He mumbled once more and it came out as I love you. Oy boy what was he dreaming about and who was it about was the real question, how would he react after he woke up. His inner wolf was asleep and dreaming himself, his tail wagged in his sleep. In his turning dream he panted in his sleep and his back arched into Revell's hand but he didn't wake up.

Xavier was dreaming about Revell crap he was dreaming about someone he barely knew, but felt his inner wolf stir when he was around him. His skin goosebumped when Revell's breath and hand were both against his skin, he had that strong lycan scent but it was mixed in with the special cologne that Revell had left him on his last birthday he always wore the sweet and musky scent. His dream had gone from just ending up at the pool taking a midnight swim okay a skinny dip to finding Revell standing there in human form watching him. Blushing he dunked his head and soon ended up with the older man in the water with him just moments later. His heart thudded in his chest he was blushing and was a bit embarrassed seeing more then his innocent eyes had ever seen. The dream started to turn more heated, he had gotten his first kiss in his dream and way more then that geez lord have mercy there.

He groaned in his sleep so much was happening in his dream he couldn't help but groan. Everything that was happening was intense to him from the first kiss to ending up curled up to Revell in his suite in bed with him. His skin was flushed even in his dreams but smiled in his sleep hearing the words in his head despite not being able to understand what Revell was saying to him. Sweat had beaded on his forehead during the dream that was something he was going to be keeping to himself. Crud he needed to write down everything but he thought it was to heated for him to even get down on paper.

Revell's eyes widened when Xavier said "I love you". His whole body froze in place as Xavier relaxed against him. He couldn't be sure Xavier was saying he loved him but still the hope that he could be dreaming about him and saying "I love you" had Revell's heart suddenly kicking into overdrive as his wolf howled happily. Revell forced himself to breath and straightened putting some distance between him and Xavier though his arms and knee were still agianst him. His eyes followed the goosebumps that rose up on Xavier's skin at that moment willing to sell his soul just to know what was causing Xavier to act like this. When he heard his breathing turning into panting he would've bargained with the devil himself.

Revell had never seen Xavier act like this and that thought just made his mind scream mine. He bit his lip and forced himself to move back off the bed. Xavier was dreaming and he didn't know what about he shouldn't assuming he was dreaming about him though he found himself really wishing Xavier was. Xavier was his mate even though he didn't know it yet and any part of him that already kind of recognized Revell made his heart soar.

When he saw the sweat beading on Xavier's forehead his heart fell. Revell only ever knew panting and sweating to equal bad things. He'd woken up on more than one occasion his heart hammering with fear and his sheets soaked with sweat. Glancing around at everything in the room and then back at Xavier Revell made a desicion. He hadn't planned to talk or touch Xavier but seeing the pup like that most likely in a nightmare broke Revell's heart. He fought with himself over what to do and finally decided that he'd try and sooth Xavier and hopefully not wake him up, but either way he couldn't leave him to suffer.

Revell laid down behind Xavier on the bed. At first he wasn't sure what to do he hadn't ever been soothed by anyone when he had bad dreams. His parents were the cause of them and he hadn't let anyone close enough for them to sooth him when his dreams went bad. Revell did what he always did when he didn't know what to do he relied on his wolf's instincts and a little bit of what he'd seen others do. He slide his arm under Xavier holding him while his other gently stroked Xavier's shoulder. He'd never been one for singing but he rememebred a lullaby he'd heard once. He didn't know the words but he knew the tune and he hummed it softly.

[Duke Xavier Hollows]

His heart and mind were feeling the samething, he snuggled back into Revell's hand in his sleep. Sure Xavier didn't know there was someone on his bed with him. All he was able to say was I love you to the man in his dreams, it was still Revell in his dreams with him. His breathing deepened and quickened, geez if a dream could do that to him what would happened if it actually happened. Still touched by his knee against his back Xavier was dreaming of Revell's hands and lips moving along his bare skin, making his skin goosebump that much more. He groaned and ended up on his back with his head turned, in his dream his neck was being nipped and nuzzled at. Licked and given love bites to Xavier didn't want anything to stop.

He had been having those dreams the past few months alright years but he never knew what they meant or why he was having them in the first place. Xavier always thought he was attracted to girls but he never once had a dream about a girl. Could this be the true and real reason he hadn't fall in love with a girl was his true soulmate the man he was dreaming about. He had sank down in his bed under Revell and laid his hand back next to his face on the pillow. Still looking like that unearthly angel and he was quite proud of that as well no matter what anyone else said.

The sweat was all over his face and his arms, panting more he was back onto his side. Snuggling back into Revell's body as a protective arm slipped under him then around him. Being lulled into a deep sleep again being hummed to, he smiled in his sleep not struggling. Turning over facing Revell his head was nestled into his neck, curling himself up again. Right up against the older man's body he snuggled to him. His dream lasted a while and it was a perfect dream, maybe this all was meant to happen to him that way. His eyes still hadn't opened yet and he didn't want to wake up yet. "Revell, I love you." Oops had that just come out in his sleep, yeah it sure did and what he said in his sleep he couldn't help. Xavier had just busted himself and what he had been dreaming about. It was his firsts in everything with Revell and in a safe place in his dreams.

He smiled when Xavier settled down, glad he had been able to calm him. Revell was about to move really he was, Xavier was calmed and he was going to let go of him and move away any second now. He was only lingering to make sure Xavier's nightmare didn't come back. Slowly he started to slide his arm out from under Xavier when he turned over and snuggled up into him his head under his chin. A content sigh escaped him as he lay there holding Xavier; he couldn't move now it was physically impossible for him too. His soon-to-be-mate, his angle eyes wolf had to have known it was him comforting him and calming him and was taking comfort in that.

The thought that Xavier as recognizing him even if it was just on a primal level was humbling to Revell and he couldn't go yet. He kissed Xavier's head lightly planning to drag himself away a little before sunrise. He closed his eyes enjoying this moment even if Xavier had no idea of what was happening it meant the world to Revell, this moment was going to be one of his most treasured memories and he had so few treasured memories.

His eyes snapped open when he heard Xavier say his name and I love you. Both were a shock he hadn't thought Xavier knew his name and that he loved him. Revell's heart was stopped for a few seconds before it kicked into a frenzied rythem. He looked down at Xavier and even though he'd only said that in his sleep, the fast that he'd said it at all made a blush spread across Revell's cheeks and down his neck to lightly dust his collar bone.

He winced when he felt his shoulder muscle cramp and drew in a breath trying to calm himself and get his muscles to relax. There was no telling how long he'd been tensed like that but it had to have been a long while to cause his well trained muscles to cramp. Glancing at the window then back at Xavier, Revell decided he should go. He shouldn't be lingering like this and if Dawn found out he'd slipped into Xavier's room he'd be in serious trouble. He wouldn't ever do anything bad to Xavier and he'd only planned to leave the note and the rose but he didn't want Dawn to misunderstand and get mad at him. Xavier loved her and he knew having Dawn mad at him would color Xavier's opinion of him and he never wanted his angel eyed pup to think bad of him. Besides he liked Dawn and knew the King thought well of her too.

Revell slowly began to get up being careful not to jostle Xavier and wake him up. Once he extracted himself he gently pulled the blanket out from under him and pulled it up over him, his fingers lightly skimming over him in the process. He couldn't resist one last touch and his fingers gently caressed his cheek before he drew away. He took a couple steps back finding it hard to leave but fighting himself knowing he had to. Xavier didn't even really know him yet, and he knew the young lycan wouldn't understand that they were mates. Not yet.

[Duke Xavier Hollows]

It took him a bit to completely settle down but he did so that was a good. So far there were no nightmares to speak of thankfully and so he was getting his important sleep. The movements under him made him snuggle down into the bed more, still on his side he felt warm and safe. He smelled a scent he knew and did take comfort in that he was being watched over and protected even more not taken advantage of. Sighing in his sleep when Revell's lips touched his head he nuzzled his head in more, okay he was using Revell as a comfy pillow he couldn't help it. He had seen Revell through his years there and knew who he was he had been told so he could always put a face to a name.

Xavier had crushes but nothing major on anyone really, just on a few people in court. It was on one of the snobby girls who were always trying to use him, another was on a slutty courtier who he didn't know was a major slut at the time but the one that made him confused was that he was crushing on Revell but he hadn't told a soul. Plus he thought Revell had a female mate and didn't pay attention to him. Stirring a bit he went right back to sleep he didn't snore so he never woke himself up by accident or anything like that.

Geez how would he able to not blush around Revell when he saw him or was around him. He sometimes did feel his face getting hot when he was around the older man but he managed to calm himself down. All tucked back in he yawned in his sleep and snuggled back into the pillow. His face was next to the rose so that was helping him to stay asleep and Revell's scent on his sheets kept him calm and content. So many things were going to his sleeping mind he couldn't chose one thing to dream at first but that all had changed. Would his heart change and let the older lycan claim it as his own, would it open up to him and let Xavier be less afraid he would be laughed at.
