=--------------------------------------=

The day donned cool and wet, with the sun hidden behind angry looking tufts of grey clouds. Despite the unpleasant weather, people are still going about their day with heads bent and baskets of food and supplies hanging from their arms. The venders still sell their wares with gusto, calling out to the passers-by with promises of fresh food and rare trinkets.

Up in the inn, it’s the steady tap of a tree branch against the window that pulls Yunho from the restful sleep he’d fallen into.

With a reluctant groan, Yunho cracks his eyes open and looks to the source that had pulled him from his sleep. “The one time I get to sleep in a bed.” He gripes softly as he sits up, causing the covers to fall away from his bare chest.
He takes a moment to languidly stretch and let out a huge yawn before getting out of the bed and moving to look out the window.
It feels odd to see so many people after traveling with just four people for so long. ‘How long have I been in this world?’ Yunho finds himself wondering as he stares blankly out the window, too lost in his own thoughts to see anything going on outside. Yunho has no idea how long he’s been traveling with Jaejoong and it throws him for a slight loop.

He wonders if everyone back home has given up looking for him. His brow creases at the thought as he leans his head against the cool pane of glass. He tries to imagine what his funeral looked like. Would anyone have spoken a kind word for him? Would anyone really be heartbroken for the loss? Would it even be considered a loss?

Sighing, Yunho turns away from the window, his eyes resting on Jaejoong’s sitting form. He’s meditating on the bed, legs folded neatly and hands resting on his knees. He’s perfectly still, like a statue of pale marble that had been put on the bed and simply forgotten about.

Yunho’s mind travels back to the kiss he and Jaejoong had shared. It puzzles him to no end how Jaejoong suddenly decided to kiss him. What about Yoochun? Though the thought of the other werewolf left a bad taste in Yunho’s mouth, he still felt guilty for kissing Yoochun’s lover.

Yunho’s about to look away--his turbulent thoughts giving him a headache--when Jaejoong’s eyes open and he stares at Yunho with an almost knowing look.

Yunho stands there for a moment, simply holding the other male’s gaze before he begins to speak. “Why did you kiss me?” He feels like grimacing as the words leave his mouth because he’s painfully aware of how feminine he sounds at the moment.

“I’m no quite sure myself.” Jaejoong responds as he unfolds his legs and stands from the bed. “Am I wrong to assume you enjoyed it?” He questions with arched brow as he steps closer to Yunho.

“It’s not that I didn’t enjoy it…” Yunho trails off as Jaejoong takes another subtle step closer, “it’s just that it was rather unexpected. What about Yoochun?”

Jaejoong pauses mid-step and cocks his head to the side, “What about Yoochun?” He questions back, a flicker of confusion settling in his dark eyes.

“I thought the two of you were together.” Yunho can hear the uncertain waver in his own voice as he takes in Jaejoong’s seemingly puzzled face.

“We used to be, but it never quite worked itself out. We’re just friends.” Jaejoong adds the last part as he takes another step close , his lips tilting up in the smallest smile. “So I take it that you wouldn’t be opposed to another kiss?”

Yunho licks his lips unconsciously at the questions, his mouth slightly open as his breathing grows a bit heavier. “But I can’t…” Yunho trails off and motions to his traitorous lower body.

Jaejoong follows Yunho’s hand motion with his eyes, his lips pulling into a stronger smile as he takes in Yunho’s meaning. “I wasn’t asking for sex. Just a kiss.” He breathes as he comes within an inch of Yunho’s body.

“Oh…” Is all Yunho can think to say as he locks his eyes on Jaejoong’s lips, his own head tilting to the right slightly as he leans in closer.

Their lips meet and Jaejoong reaches up to hold Yunho’s chin as he presses in to deepen the kiss.
They sit like that for a moment, tongues dancing softly against each other and bodies pressed close together. It seems for just that moment of time, nothing is going wrong, nothing bad has happened or will happen. All they can see for that small moment is the each other…and that’s all they want to see for that moment.

Jaejoong is the first to pull back, a soft smile playing on his lips as he places one last peck on Yunho’s reddened lips.
“We should find the local wizard and see what he can do for you and Changmin.” He says softly as he brushes his fingers through Yunho’s hair.

“Let’s hope it gets broken before tonight.” Yunho breathes as he leans in and steals a quick kiss, which causes a warm tingle to spread through his entire body.
Truthfully, things still seem foreign to Yunho since he hasn’t been with another man--excluding Changmin--in eight years. Even so, he can feel that familiar tingle that comes from being held by strong arms and giving up the control to someone who is strong enough to take care of him. Yunho has never considered himself a weak person, but he’s never really looked at himself as a leader. People always put him in that position because he “looked the part”. But despite his strong physical appearance, Yunho much preferred being led and taken care. It always helped to take the stress out of life.

Yunho is jerked from his thoughts when he feels a hand feathering over his exposed abdomen. His muscles contract pleasantly at the tickling sensation and his breath hitches as he meets Jaejoong’s gaze.

“Time to get dressed and start the day.” Jaejoong chuckles softly before leaning in to nuzzle the side of Yunho’s neck.

“W-What about Changmin and Junsu?” Yunho stammers, feeling the arousal flickering in the pit of his stomach.

“They’re outside the door eavesdropping.” Jaejoong responds as he leans back and turns to look at the door. Not a split-second later said door bursts open and Changmin and Junsu come tumbling in, doubled over laughing with their arms slung over each other.

“You two are just so adorable.” Junsu chuckles as he straightens and eyes the half-dressed Yunho.

“I can’t believe you’re already cheating on me.” Changmin adds, pulling a hurt face as he looks over to the blushing Yunho and smiling Jaejoong. “Gah, and with Jaejoong, no less.”

“I would choose Junsu over you. Changmin.” Yunho shoots back as he reaches for his discarded shirt and slides it over his head.

“Is that supposed to be a compliment?” Junsu questions, brow pulled down in a confused expression.

“Is everyone ready to go?” Jaejoong questions, cutting off any further conversation.

There’s a chorus of affirmative answers to Jaejoong’s question, followed by Junsu punching Changmin’s shoulder when the younger male ruffles his hair.

“Let’s get going.” Jaejoong calls, ignoring the childish squabbling going on between Changmin and Junsu as he leaves the room.

As the group makes their way down stairs, the tensions seems to rise as they greeted by cold stares from the other guest in the inn. There are a few people with openly curious faces, though they are far outnumbered by the unwelcoming and angry looks.

Tables have been set up and people are sitting around the foyer enjoying a warm breakfast and receipt from the gloomy weather.

“Demon spawn.” An elderly women growls as they pass, spitting at Changmin’s feet as he passes her table.

“Senile hag.” He growls back, nose wrinkling as he just manages to avoid the spit projectile.

“Don’t start, Changmin.” Jaejoong cuts in, turning to give the younger male a stern look.

Changmin looks as if he wants to defend himself, but he simply purses his lips and storms away from the woman’s table.

Their reception outside is just about as friendly as it was in the inn. Some people simply duck their heads and walk faster, while others cower in fear or rush back into their house as if that offers them some kind of protection. Then there’s the occasional recklessly brave soul who calls out insults as the group passes.

“Why do they hate vampires so much?” Yunho questions in a whisper as he watches a mother pull her child back into a small hut.

“Werewolves are more widely accepted because they seem more human and less demonic. The werewolves took advantage of that and poisoned the Lamia name. They pinned horrible crimes on us that they had committed and nobody thought to question them.” Jaejoong explains in a tense voice. His eyes are constantly scanning the surroundings, as if he’s just waiting for someone to jump out and attack.

“How much further till the wizard’s shop?” Junsu questions nervously as he inches closer to Changmin’s lanky form.

“It’s just down the road.” Jaejoong answers, pointing to a small shop with two glass displays showing all sorts of odd gadgets, spell books and potions.

Yunho feels a nervous flutter in his stomach as they pull up to the front of the shop and Jaejoong reaches out to open the door. He’s not sure if it has to do with the prospect of finally getting his bond with Changmin broken, or the fact that tonight he and Jaejoong will be sharing a room.

The inside of the shop is surprisingly clean and orderly, with the walls lined with shelves containing small glass phials and a variety of books. There’s a long table set up that functions as a sort of check-out counter. Behind said table is an elderly man hunched over a huge black book. He’s muttering to himself and absently pushes his glasses further up his nose in a move that seems to be pure habit. His hair is a snowy white and hangs in wispy tendrils past his shoulders; even his beard is a bright white and nearly as long as his hair.

“Excuse me.” Jaejoong calls as he steps further into the shop, eyes locked on the elderly man.

“Yes, yes, have a seat and wait a moment.” The man mutters as he waves his hand in the air in an almost absentminded way.

Yunho’s brow wrinkles as he glances around, he doesn’t remember seeing any seats. Just as the thought crosses his mind, he lets out a yelp as a chair rams into the back of his legs, forcing him to sit on the hard surface.

The same thing happens to the other three, though Jaejoong takes a quick step to the side, allowing his chair to stop before he sits down with a chuckle at the other three disgruntled party members.

The man mutters over his book for a few long moments before removing his glasses and closing the book. “Now tell me, what can I do you for?” He questions as he eyes the four men sitting before him.

“We need to know if there’s anything you can do to break a bond between these two.” Jaejoong explains as he motions between Yunho and a still-disgruntled Changmin.

“Hm, and what sort of bond is it that needs to be broken?” He questions with a pleasant smile at Yunho and Changmin.

“Uh…I suppose it’s a bond of lust…” Jaejoong explains, his brow arching slightly as he speaks.

“You’re not a vampire.” The old man shrugs of Jaejoong’s words and turns his keen eyes on Yunho’s rather nervous face. “Yet…at the same time, you are.” The wizard stands from his chair, lanky body unfolding to a decent height, and shuffles around to get a better look at Yunho.
“My, my, you are quite the puzzle. Explain.” He waves his hand at Yunho in a command to speak.

“Uh…I’m a werewolf, vampire mix.” Yunho responds, not exactly sure what he is.
“My dear boy, that’s simply not possible.” The wizard lets out a laugh, setting his hand on Yunho’s shoulder in a friendly sort of way.

“It possible for him.” Jaejoong cuts in, “he was bitten by Changmin not long after being turned into a werewolf. That’s when the bond formed.” Jaejoong explains as he watches the wizard examine Yunho closely.

“In all my days I’ve never seen anything like you.” The wizard finally speaks, his voice holding the smallest hint of awe.

“Thank you?” Yunho mutters questioningly as he attempts to shrink into his seat. The old man’s penetrating eyes are becoming a little too heavy to handle and Yunho can’t wait for him to look away.

“So it’s a bond of lust?” The wizard questions suddenly as he straightens and makes his way back behind his table.

“Yes.” Jaejoong nods his head as he rests his right ankle on his left knee. “Is there anything you can do to break it?”

“Certainly…of course, that’s assuming that our dear boy here has the normal traits of both a werewolf and a vampire.” The wizard looks over the room of his glasses at Yunho, an obvious spark of interest burning in his eyes.
“Cupido Fracta should take care of that.” He adds as he lifts his hand and gestures to one of the shelves. Two small phials come zooming towards the table before lightly coming to a stop before the elderly man.
“Now we just mix these.” He mutters absently as he pulls down two small cups from the shelf behind him.

The shop is silent as he works on mixing the two potions together. He mutters something over both cups and steam suddenly begins to waft off the liquid. With a final wave of his hand, he looks up and smiles, “the two affected need to drink this.” He lifts the cups and extends on towards Yunho, which Yunho takes gratefully.

“So you’re sure?” Yunho finds himself questioning as he stares down into the pinkish liquid in his cup.

“Of course.” The man nods his head with an encouraging smile as Changmin stands and takes the second cup.

“Well, here’s to hoping.” Changmin turns to Yunho and raises his glass in a salute before downing the liquid in one gulp.

Yunho bites his lips in a moment of indecision before he follows Changmin’s lead and knocks back the concoction. It’s oddly flavorless and rather warm as it trails down his throat and pools in his stomach. His arms tingle for a moment before everything settles back into place.

They all stand there silent, looking between Changmin and Yunho as if they’re waiting for the two to attack each other.

“So how do you know if it worked?” Yunho questions as he looks into his empty glass as if expecting there to be some kind of answer there.

“Try kissing him.” The wizard responds, his eyes glowing with an amused light.

“Oh joy.” Yunho mutters as he eyes the grinning Changmin. “This had better have worked.” He growls as he stalks forward and quickly plants his lips against Changmin’s.

They stay like that for a moment before drawing back and looking at each other with eyebrows raised questioningly.

Yunho felt…nothing.

“It worked.” They both said in tandem before breaking out into huge grins.

“It’s finally over!” Yunho laughed as he clapped his hands and spun around. His gaze landed on a smiling Jaejoong, who arched his brows in an almost suggestive manner. There was a hidden promise in that smile and Yunho felt a thrill at the thought of finally claiming it.

“You’re going to miss me…just give it time.” Changmin cuts in while throwing his arm across Yunho’s shoulder’s.

“Not even in your dreams, Changmin.” Yunho fires back as he shrugs off the older male’s touch.

“How much do I owe you?” Jaejoong questions as he turns away from the smiling Yunho.

“Four Farves total.” The man replies pleasantly as he waves his hand and sends the two phials back to their spots on the shelf.

Jaejoong hands over the required amount and leans towards the elderly man, “I’m very thankful for your services.”

“It was hardly of any consequence, my dear boy.” The wizard smiles and pats Jaejoong’s shoulder before he reclaims his seat and opens his book once again.
“Have a nice day.” He adds, effectively informing them that he’s not paying attention anymore.

The group leaves the shop after that and makes their way down the road with the intent to go hunting. None of them are aware of the three dark figures watching them from the shadows in between the small shops.

“When are we to attack?” One questions.

“Before they leave the town tomorrow.” Another responds.

“We have to get them separated first.” The third adds.

“This will be very easy.” The first chuckles before melting back into the shadows.

=-------------------Later That Evening------------------=

Yunho sighs as he trudges into his room and kicks off his shoes. He’s full from their earlier hunt and feeling very much relieved that he won’t have to be sharing a bed with Changmin…ever.

The only source of light in the small room comes from two small lamps that are hung on the wall above each bed. The small flame casts warm flickering light across the walls with a very relaxing affect.

Yunho is standing near the window when he feels a ghost of breath over the nape of his neck and the presence of a body close behind him.
“Are you feeling well?” Yunho shivers at the deep tone, his eyes closing as a hands rests on his hip.

“Yes.” Yunho responds as he leans back into the strong body behind him.

There’s a satisfied hum from behind him before cool lips touch the sensitive line of his neck, resulting in a all-too-pleasant shiver down his spine.

Turning, Yunho locks eyes with Jaejoong for a moment before leaning in to kiss the older male.

They melt into the kiss naturally, their mouths opening and tongues dancing and exploring in a slow, unhurried manner.

Yunho threads his fingers through Jaejoong’s hair, moaning as he older male’s hand slides from Yunho’s hip to the small of his back where deft fingers trail just under the waist of his pants.

They break their kiss in favor of removing their shirts, both men eyeing each other with a new sort of hunger as skin is exposed, explored and tasted.

Jaejoong pulls Yunho into another kiss, walking him back until the smaller male falls into the bed with a slightly surprised yelp.
“That was adorable.” Jaejoong chuckles as he climbs onto the bed and kisses a trail up Yunho’s abdomen.

“Shut-up.” Yunho pouts, breath hitching as Jaejoong laves a tongue across his left nipple before softly nipping at it.

“Are you sure you want this?” Jaejoong questions as he plans a kiss on Yunho’s Adam’s apple.

“Of course I do.” Yunho pants as he brings his hands up to slide down Jaejoong’s smooth back. He can feel powerful muscles contracting under his touch, resulting in a pleased shiver on Jaejoong’s part.

Jaejoong’s only response is a smile and a smooth grind of his hips into Yunho’s sensitive groin.

The younger male lets out a strangled moan and arches into Jaejoong’s touch. He happily notes that his erection is beginning to strain at the material of his pants, begging to be released.

They continue to rub against each other as they lock lips in a searing kiss full of vengeful sucking and light nips.

Jaejoong laves his tongue across Yunho’s lower lip before pulling back and shifting slightly to get his hand in between their two bodies. He makes quick work of unbuttoning his own pants as well as Yunho’s.

They both part for a moment to rid themselves of their last bits of clothing before they return to each other.

Though Jaejoong’s skin is quickly absorbing Yunho’s body heat, the younger male still lets out a moan at the feel of cold flesh against his heated skin. It’s a barrage of sensations with Jaejoong’s wet tongue tracing the shell of his ear and his steady hand beginning to pump Yunho’s achingly hard dick.

Yunho arches his body off the bed as Jaejoong pumps faster, creating a delicious friction that tingles across his entire body.
“Please, Jaejoong.” Yunho pants, bending his knees and lifting his hips in a silent display of his readiness.

Jaejoong pulls back and reaches for his bag, obviously going for the lube, but Yunho jerks him back and places a searing kiss on Jaejoong’s lips. “I don’t need it.” It growls as he runs his hands through Jaejoong’s hair.

“I don’t want to hurt you.” Jaejoong’s voice is firm and he makes a move to reach for the bag again.

Yunho lets out a frustrated huff before he quickly shifts their positions so Jaejoong’s lying underneath him. “I know what I can and can’t take.” He growls as he positions himself over Jaejoong’s cock and slowly eases himself down.
The burn is white-hot at first as Jaejoong breaches the tight ring of muscles, tearing at skin and pulling muscles too far.

Yunho groans and keeps going, eyes on Jaejoong’s pleasure-painted face. By the time he’s sunk fully onto the other male, the tingling sensation of healing skin and muscles takes away the pain and leaves him with the sensation of being filled and stretched in a delicious manner.

With graceful ease, Yunho lifts himself, groaning at the feeling of Jaejoong slowly sliding from his body, before he impales himself on the engorged dick once again. After a few experimental bounces, Yunho finds a rhythm that soon has them both panting and moaning.

Jaejoong grips at Yunho’s hips, lifting him higher and pulling him down with a force that causes the bed to tremble.
Sitting up, Jaejoong leans against the headboard and pulls Yunho’s sweat-slicked body against him, their hips still rolling as they connect again and again.

They kiss each other deeply, swallowing each other’s moans of pleasure until the need for air causes Yunho to pull back.
He hugs Jaejoong close, whimpering at the feel of his erection caught between their bodies. The tightness in his stomach is growing and Yunho picks up his speed, his fingers digging into Jaejoong’s shoulders as he goes harder and faster to reach his climax.

Jaejoong lets out a moan as the speed increases, his hips arching up to meet Yunho’s downward fall. The older male leans forward slightly and rakes his teeth across Yunho’s shoulder. The action proves too much for Yunho, who suddenly hits his climax with a shudder and a low, drawn out moan.
Yunho’s sphincter muscles clench around Jaejoong sporadically, tipping him over the edge to join Yunho in a mind-numbing orgasm.

They sit panting against each other for a moment before Yunho rolls to the side and falls onto the bed. “See, no lube needed.” He chuckles as he looks down at the white spread of cum smeared across his and Jaejoong’s chests.

“Apparently.” Jaejoong chuckles as he reaches for the cloth on the stand for the basin of water. “That was…intense.” He adds as he cleans himself up and then tosses the rag to Yunho.

“I guess intense is one word for it.” Yunho yawns as he quickly cleans himself up and tosses the rag onto the floor.
“Are you going to stay in bed with me?” He questions as the twines his fingers with Jaejoong’s.

“Of course.” Jaejoong mutters as he sinks into the bed and brings the cover over himself and Yunho. “I’ll be here all night.” He adds as he spoons against the smaller male and plants a kiss against Yunho’s shoulder.

Yunho hums in a sated fashion as he drifts off to sleep, a smile still clinging to his lips.

=--------------------------------=

A/N: FFFFF- I’m sorry if my writing seems rather discombobulated. I’m feeling this rather detached fuzziness from my cold medicine and I don’t even know half the shit I just wrote down. So yeah, you have my apologies. I do hope the Jaeho bed scene made up for it! I know people were getting impatient, so I hope I didn’t let you down!

Thank you to everyone for reading and commenting.

jaeho, journey's end, minsu
