Yunho/Jaejoong
NC-17/R; warning: character death
Kim Jaejoong, the angel of death, was raised to be unfeeling and to be emotionless with the idea of ending a person's life. Not satisfied with his life, he seeks comfort from a boy on earth. What happens when he defies the principles of his becoming and falls in love with a human being? What will their fate be?
The stereotype for death angels were either of the following: cold, unfeeling, cruel, sadistic, apathetic, uncaring, or merciless. The stereotypical appearance of said angel would be: wearing an excess amount of black or grey, dark makeup, and just, over-all, looking spooky. People would think that they'd stay under a dark shadow all day and eat souls or dwell in a barren wasteland finding solace in such a place. They would imagine them with their glorious black wings and skin as cold as ice. Eyes hard and emotionless...
But no. Not all angels of death are like that. Or well, at least not in this district of the upper world. Kim Jaejoong was raised by two of the most powerful deities in this district, Kim Joonmyun and Kim Heechul. They were known to be ruthless when it came to judgement days when they'd all be sitting in their enormous hall, weighing hearts, and seeing just who out of chance will get the horrible fate of immediate death. The gods were callous with dealing with their humans. This was all just a game to them. They thought it was funny to see other humans suffer when a new human life was stolen from them. Basically... they chose people randomly. Killing them was not a punishment for doing bad deeds, this was all purely entertainment for the council of gods.
What is the angel of death exactly? Well, they are angels that bring death by random methods that are quite unavoidable. They're like the gods' evil assassins doing the dirty job for them. Kim Joonmyun and Kim Heechul raised their son, Jaejoong, well. They made sure that he was raised to be just like them. Sadly, they never knew how great of an actor Jaejoong was. He always had his parents fooled. In front of them, he acted like a brooding devil's child but in reality no, he was not cold, no, he was not cruel nor was he sadistic or apathetic. He was in fact, warm, ebullient, and a curious young lad. He'd sneak off all the time and climb down the "Ladder Between Two Realms" and visit earth on a daily basis. He started doing this when he was only 8.
When Jaejoong was 8, he was not an angel of death yet, he was still in training under his parents. All he practically had to do was interact with the other angels in the upper world, go to school, and learn more about the principles of being the angel of death. His life was quite boring, actually. He didn't have any friends up there because all of them were so... weird. They always teased and teased and teased how stupid humans were and how filthy they are to live on top of dirt everyday. This, however, was what caused little Jaejoong to be curious.
The "Ladder Between Two Realms" was really heavily guarded. Angel Kangin and Angel Dongwook kept a stern eye on it to make sure no one comes up. They were not worried about any of the angels going down to earth. Earth was filthy, who would want to go down there?
Jaejoong was as swift as night. He was just naturally endowed with ninja-like skills as he slipped through the guards without the slightest of detection.
Jaejoong's first time on earth was rather confusing. There were these huge metallic things with rubber cirlces underneath them and inside the said "huge metallic thing" were humans. Jaejoong thought of how weird this contraption was.
Little Jaejoong did not understand why everyone from above called them "dirty". They all practically looked like angels minus the gorgeous wings.
"YAH! WATCH OUT!" Jaejoong heard someone scream before feeling something extremely heavy leap on him and tackle him to the other side of the road crashing heavily on the sidewalk.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?" Exclaimed a boy that seemed to be about his age. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! YOU'LL GET SQUASHED BY THE CARS!"
Cars? Jaejoong tilted his head to the side, confused.
The other kid shook his head at him judgmentally before grabbing his hand and hauling him up. "Come with me. You'll die if I leave you here all alone." Yunho said as he pulled Jaejoong so that he could follow him.▬
They kept on walking until they hopped onto another giant metallic contraption on top of rolling circles. This one was a lot bigger than all the ones Jaejoong saw earlier. This one could fit about 30 human beings and it was shaped like a rectangle.
Yunho led him to a seat in the back and they both sat down. Yunho looked over at the strange child. This kid seemed so...lost...as if this was her first time ever laying her big doe-eyes on a bus. "Uh, hi. I'm Jung Yunho by the way." he said.
Jaejoong smiled brightly. Since he introduced himself, does that mean they were friends already??? "Uwaaa! Hi Jung Yunho. My name is Kim Jaejoong. You're my first hu-" Jaejoong figured not to mention 'human' "friend ever!"
"Really. That's nice." Yunho smiled uneasily. Jaejoong was an odd type of name for a girl. Also, he was surprised to see that the girl's voice was deeper than most girls in his school. It was less annoying.
"You're really cute, by the way." Little Jaejoong said as he smacked both of his hands on Yunho's cute cheeks.
"Y-yah" Yunho tried to detach the girl's hands from his face, afraid that he might get girl cooties.
Jaejoong smiled cutely before releasing Yunho's face.
"What were you doing in the middle of the road, anyway? Aren't girls like you not allowed to leave the side of their eomma?" Yunho suddenly inquired.
"Girls like me....?" Jaejoong pouted and looked at Yunho with a puzzled expression. "I'm not a girl...."
"WHAAAT?"
All heads in the bus turned to eye the noisy kid. After Yunho was done bowing his head in apology, he asked more quietly this time, "But you really look like a girl." Yunho's eyebrows scrunched in confusion as he stared at the pretty....boy.
Jaejoong giggled while covering his mouth with his hands before replying, "I'm a boy, okay?"
That was when their friendship with each other started. After the bus ride, they made it to Yunho's large manor which was far away from the city life. Yunho's house was quite large, Jaejoong thought. His house resembled the angel of dreams, Changmin's, house. They played together in Yunho's room. He had a lot of these things called "toys". Various action figures, legos, and mini "cars". They played and played together until Jaejoong noticed through the window that it was already sunset. It was time for him to go.
"Jung Yunho, I need to go now. My parents are probably worried by now."
"Awww" Yunho pouted. This was the first time Yunho played with someone of his own age rather than other people in school. His mom and dad were always in the US for business trips so he was always left alone with the maids and butlers. "Come back soon, Joongie" Yunho whined.
"I will."
▬
A few months later after Jaejoong and Yunho met, the pretty little boy gave the good news that he could stay overnight for three days. The council of gods were going to leave their district to go on a yearly conference with the other districts. It was more like a reunion more than anything; they didn't really have any important matters to discuss. Yunho was absolutely elated knowing that his now-best-friend could stay longer. Yunho laughed gleefully and started planning what they could do together now that Jaejoong did not have to leave by sunset (like how he usually did everyday).
"Jaejoongie~!" Yunho sang as he leaned over and gave his best friend a tight hug. They were both currently in Yunho's room after a full day of playing in the playground and just basically having fun. "Why can't you just tell your eomma to make you move in with me?"
"Yunnie~ I can't just tell my parents that. They'd say no for sure." Jaejoong pouted as he thought in his brain how Heechul would react if he ever told him. "I'd really love to though."
"YEAH! Imagine. Life just like this. Just you and me, just having fun everyday." The taller kid entangled his legs around Jaejoong's, "It's so boring here without you." In translation: Yunho means he's extremely lonely here all the time.
"Awww Yunnie" Jaejoong sniffed, feeling sad for his best friend. "I'll always be here, don't worry!"
Yunho pouted again before asking, "You promise?"
"I promise!"
The two hugged again before Yunho broke the silence and said "I'll always be here for you too, Joongie."
Little Jaejoong smiled happily at his best friend's serious tone. Jaejoong really wished that he could just... leave the upperworld forever and just live here with Yunho. But he knew just how impossible that dream of his was. How sad. He frowned when his thoughts lingered on it. Yunho looked at Jae's face. "What's wrong, Joongie?"
"Nothing, Yunnie. I was just thinking how I'm only happy when I'm with you."
Yunho's mouth formed a big O. "Me too!" Whenever Yunho's parents would visit him (though very rarely) Yunho didn't feel genuinely happy to see them. He didn't know them well enough and it didn't even seem like they loved him. They'd flood him with new toys and gifts but it was nothing compared to simply laying side-by-side with Jae. "I really love you, Jaejoongie~"
"I really love you too!" Jaejoong giggled cutely.
▬
Jaejoong has been going back and forth between the upper world and earth for almost 10 years now. It was a routine of his, after his "business", he'd sneak past those two useless guards, climb down the "Ladder Between Two Realms" and visit his Yunho.
"Business" referred to Jaejoong ending someone's life on the gods' command. He finally started doing that when he turned 13.
Today, Jaejoong was in a terrible mood. The balance beam pronounced the fate of an innocent old man and it was Jaejoong's task to end his life. Jaejoong's style of...doing his deed was done gently. He'd approach the humans in their sleep and gently cradle them in his arms and sing sad, sad lullabies until they slowly die under his powers. Jaejoong hated his life, how he had to do this all the time, and how he was responsible for the death of innocent human beings. There was no escaping from this lifestyle. He really hated it.
Once Jaejoong settled his feet on human soil, he transported to Yunho's manor where he was waiting for him.
"Boo Jae" Yunho greeted his beautiful lover when he climbed up his window.
After years of being best of friends, their feelings seemed to have escalated to a point of no return in which they both realized just what type of love they really harbored for each other. One thing they knew for sure back then, it wasn't just a friendship type of love, it was way more than that. On Yunho's 15th birthday, he professed his love and for 2 and a half years, they have been steady lovers.
Yunho tenderly hugged his boo, missing him. He hated how they could only meet at a certain part of the day. Since Jaejoong turned 13, instead of staying with Yunho for most of the day, Jaejoong would only come at sundown and leave 5 hours later. Yunho cherished all of Jaejoong's visits.
"Yunho, I miss you." Jaejoong said even though they had only met yesterday. What he really needed right now was to be encased in Yunho's protective arms. To erase the image of a dead human body slumping in his arms, the sound of silence when their heart beat no more, and the feel of their skin running cold.
"I miss you too, Jae" Yunho said as he hugged his lover even more tightly. He buried his face on the crook of his beloved's neck and inhaled his lover's sweet-smelling fragrance.
Yunho slowly guided them both towards his large bed until the back of his knees hit the bed and he fell back on the matress with Jaejoong's slim form straddling his waist. Yunho still found it hard to believe how he could have such a perfect lover, he thought as he watched as his lover did nothing but stare at him. Jaejoong's creamy skin bathed in the moonlight, showing each and every feature of his beautiful, beautiful face.
Jaejoong slowly leaned down and gave his lover a slow, barely-there kiss, just merely tracing his lips over the surface of yunho's before sitting up again. Yunho lifted one of his arms up lazily and tugged on his lover's white shirt, asking for him to get rid of it. Jaejoong smiled as he slowly undressed right before his lover. Yunho marveled at the sight. Such flawless skin. Once Jaejoong tossed the flimsy attire to one of the corners of Yunho's room, the latter lifted his right hand and caressed his lover's stomach all the way up to his chest with the palm of his hand.
Jaejoong enjoyed the heat emanating from Yunho's large hands as he continued feeling each and every part of Jaejoong's upper torso, as if trying to memorize every piece of him.
"Kiss me." Yunho whispered. Jaejoong didn't need to be told twice as he swooped down again but this time made their contact deeper and more intense. In no time, Jaejoong was running out of air as he disconnected their lips. Yunho leaned up on his elbow and planted his lips on Jaejoong's neck, kissing it languidly before biting and sucking it gently.
Jaejoong moaned at Yunho's ministrations. Yunho's lips started to trail down as he moved his lips to the middle of his neck then down to his collar bones then to his shoulder, his chest, then atop his soft nipples. Yunho made sure that all of his love and passion for the smaller man would be conveyed in his kisses. All the while, euphonious moans were released by Jaejoong.
Yunho chose the moment to switch their positions so that Jaejoong's back was laying comfortably on the soft mattress. He continued his ministrations on Jaejoong's sweet-looking nubs. Yunho gave it a swift lick before sucking on it while squeezing the other nub in his fingers.
"Y-Yunho, too good." Jaejoong said as he squirmed in pleasure.
After Yunho gently kissed, licked, and sucked at least every part of Jaejoong's upper torso, Yunho stopped for a while only to pause and gaze at the look of absolute pleasure written all over his lover's face. He told Jaejoong to turn around on his stomach then go on his hands and knees. Yunho then pulled off Jaejoong's loose pants and brief. Yunho stared at Jaejoong's firm and round butt and kneaded it a bit before leaning down and giving the valley between the two globes a long lick.
"Oh my... Baby, what are you doing?" Jaejoong was so new to all of this. It felt so good but it was kind of weird also. Jaejoong found it hard to suppress his moans as Yunho continued to lick his butt, right above his hole. Right when Jaejoong was about to relax, he felt Yunho's tongue penetrate his hole. "Ohh... Ah" Jaejoong could not support his weight anymore as his upper torso fell on the bed with his butt sticking out. Jaejoong gripped the bed sheets tightly as Yunho thrusted his tongue in faster and deeper. Yunho wrapped his arms around Jaejoong's waist to help him stay up as he kept on lathering Jaejoong's hole with his saliva.
When Yunho removed his tongue from his warm hole, Jaejoong moaned in protest. He glanced back and saw that Yunho was getting rid of all the remaining articles of clothing he still had on. Jaejoong's trailed over his handsome lover's godly body; chiseled abs, tan skin glowing gloriously even in the darkness, and .... oh. The beauty's eyes widened when he saw the size of Yunho's member. It was exceptionally wide and long. Jaejoong gulped. He knew some things about sex. His lover was going to insert his manhood inside his.... anus.
Jaejoong watched as Yunho spread some kind of lubrication around his manhood before gripping his waist again.
"Are you ready, love?" Yunho whispered. After Jaejoong nodded, Yunho slowly inserted his member. His eyes almost rolled back to the back of his socket at the feeling of Jaejoong's extremely tight hole enclosed over his member. The sensation was amazing. He slowly went in deeper, and deeper, and deeper until he was fully seated. Yunho caressed his lover's back then said, "Just let me know when you're ready for me to move."
Jaejoong squirmed for a few more moments before quietly whispering that he was ready. Yunho slowly made a move to remove his member from the hole before thrusting back in. "Ah.." Jaejoong whimpered. Yunho continued going, slowly picking up his speed. Jaejoong was a hot and moaning mess below him and Yunho was getting impossibly harder just from how Jaejoong reacted to his penetration. Yunho kissed Jaejoong's spine as he continued thrusting erratically.
Their love-making was a heat filled night as they did it non-stop until Jaejoong would have to return back to the upperworld. The couple were both fully spent as they whispered sweet nothings into each other's ears. Proclaiming again and again just how much they loved each other and how they cannot live without the other....
"Boo, I love you more than the air I breathe, always know that." Yunho whispered to his lover before he was going to leave outside the window again. They had another deep kiss before Jaejoong said farewell and disappeared from outside of Yunho's window.
▬
Jaejoong yawned tiredly as he woke up from his slumber on cloud 9 (ironically, that cloud belonged to Jaejoong) then floated over to the area where his clothes were kept so he could change into something again. Jaejoong decided to wear a turtle neck since marks from last night were clearly shown on his neck and shoulders and just...everywhere. Jaejoong smiled fondly at the memory of his loving night with Yunho. He felt like squealing giddily but controlled himself, remembering where he was. He couldn't wait to meet him again tonight.
After Jaejoong was dressed in a decent attire, he left to go to the big council hall when they were going to place hearts on the balance beam once again. Everyone seamed riled up today. More excited than usual.
As Jaejoong passed along the hall to look for a seat, Jihoon passed by and brushed shoulders roughly with him causing Jaejoong to almost fall.
"You're going to regret breaking my heart, Kim." Jihoon sneered before he continued going in a different direction.
Jihoon was one of the many angels that fancied the beautiful Kim Jaejoong. Him, unlike all the other admirers, was more bold so he was not afraid to approach Jaejoong and confess to him. Jaejoong politely declined and said that he already has someone else of interest. Ever since then, Jihoon has been nothing but hostile to him.
Jaejoong sighed. It's not like he harshly said "no" or anything.
After the weighing of hearts were done, they announced the name of the unlucky one.
...
"Jung Yunho."
Did Jaejoong just hear correctly?
Right at that very moment, Jaejoong's blood ran cold, feeling as if his own power of death was seeping in his own skin, eating him alive. Jaejoong felt his own heart beat stop, his eyes suddenly lost all of its luster and happiness from last night. He was suddenly empty, feeling a lot more like a corpse rather than an angel. He felt so numb, so cold...
"HAHA! Look at his face!"
"Awww poor baby Jae, has to kill his own filthy human lover. Ahahaha!"
"After he terminates that Jung Yunho, maybe we'll have a chance with him."
Jaejoong dropped down on his knees. This can't be... This has got to be a horrible, sick and twisted nightmare. No. no. no. no. no. Jaejoong did not even care how the rest of the angels and gods found out. He didn't care about anything at all. He didn't. All he needed was to see his Yunho.
And once again, Jaejoong felt lost.
"Kim Jaejoong. The only thing special about today's event is that the guest will be escorted HERE in the upperworld. At least his last few breaths will be in such a beautiful place as this." One of the gods tauntingly said as he clapped his hands together.
Jaejoong heard a thud and saw his Yunho a few feet away from him, eyes blindfolded and hands bound.
"Where am I?" Yunho muttered. "Someone! Is anyone here to help me?"
"Y-Y-Yunho...." Jaejoong felt his eyes brimming with prickling tears.
"Jaejoong? Boo Jae, is that you? Oh thank god you're here." Yunho looked so relieved to hear Jaejoong's voice. Feeling safe all of a sudden.
Jaejoong took one step foreward, so that he could give his lover a hug and grab him and run away from this horrid place. He was stopped however when Kangin and Dongwook grabbed his arms so that he would stay where he was. Jaejoong just stood there are started full-on crying his heart out. Loosing his strength to fight back. Once the gods made their decision, there was no revoking them.
"Jaejoong?" Yunho croaked.
"Y-Yunho... I'm here. Don't be worried." The depressed angel whimpered out.
One of the gods rolled his eyes. "Kim Jaejoong. What are you waiting for? Our precious time is ticking, time to kill him." He stared at his best angel of death as he started falling apart. It was a bit heart-wrenching to look at but still oh-so amusing.
Yunho's body froze once he heard those words. His Jaejoong...... is going to kill him? What kind of a....
"NO. NEVER!" Jaejoong started thrashing about so that he could release himself from Kangin and Dongwook's tight hold. "Let go of me!" He screeched.
"What's going on in here?" Yunho was starting to panic. What were they doing to his beloved. Were they blackmailing him? Torturing him? Yunho tried to stand up but felt an electrical sensation when he had done so. "What the..."
"Kill. him. now"
Jaejoong stopped thrashing suddenly. The council of gods watched wondering what was happening to the lad. He started to become as still as a stature...and calmed down. He finally decided as to what he's going to do. He closed his eyes and thought this through. He had to do this. Once Jaejoong opened his eyes again, they were a glowing, brilliant red. All of the spectators were starting to feel fear now, even the gods. The only one whose eyes would glow like that was the god of death's.... who was last sighted centuries ago. Does that mean that Jaejoong... was the descendant of the god of death all along?
With Jaejoong's extreme despair and anger, he let the powers of death emanate from his body. The mist started escalating in the air, anyone who would inhale it were sure to die. Jaejoong was very good in controlling the fumes. He made sure it went nowhere near his lover.
Soon, Kangin, Dongwook, and a few other gods dropped dead.
The reason the god of death was so feared was because he was the only one who had power over even the gods.... the god of death is the only person who can kill them.
With a whisk of Jaejoong's hand, he revoked his deathly mists and ran over to his lover. He gave him a passionate kiss...of goodbye. "Jaejoong. What is happening?" Yunho asked, worried as he breathed on his lover, basking in their closeness. He noted the gloomy atmosphere surrounding them. It was almost foreboding...
Anytime now...
Expected by the angel, his very core began to tear open.
The only drawback to being the god of death was that if you ever caused harm over another god, you would perish and die one of the most painful of deaths...
Jaejoong made sure to bite his lips tightly so that no sound of agony will be released. He didn't want Yunho to worry. He grazed his palm over Yunho's cheek very gently one last time "I love you." were his last words while more tears continued to stream down his face before falling limply. Jaejoong never looked so alive while he lived... but now that Death has finally left his body, Jaejoong's cheeks were flushed to a light pink, lips red, looking like a real human being.
Yunho's blindfold vanished. When he opened his eyes, he met with a sight that was so horrifying that he didn't even know what to do with himself anymore. Tears would not stop falling when he caught sight of his angel now bereft of life. Dried tears staining his angel's face. He then bent down to cradle his lover in his arms whispering words of love and agony over and over again. "Why did you leave me? Why...? Please come back. Wake up, Boo Jae." He sobbed painfully as he stared at Jaejoong's face that looked so peaceful, as if he was just asleep. He hugged his lover's pure corpse tightly, unwilling to ever let him go... knowing that he will never wake again. Yunho now looked forward to nothing at all. His future was meaningless without his source of happiness and life now being gone. All Yunho knew was that he had to stay alive as long as he can for his reason to live gave up his life just for him to live. The irony of it all. Yunho could not wait for that day to naturally meet Death... He did not want to live anymore.
Yunho continued crying while nestling his beloved in his arms.
"I love you." He whispered in anguish cursing his fate.
a/n: I love angst so much!♥ btw, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! The plot is really weird ahaha. I blame my overflowing imagination.

Yunho laughed gleefully and started planning what they could do together now that Jaejoong did not have to leave by sunset (like how he usually did everyday).
"Jaejoongie~!" Yunho sang as he leaned over and gave his best friend a tight hug. They were both currently in Yunho's room after a full day of playing in the playground and just basically having fun. "Why can't you just tell your eomma to make you move in with me?"
"Yunnie~ I can't just tell my parents that. They'd say no for sure." Jaejoong pouted as he thought in his brain how Heechul would react if he ever told him. "I'd really love to though."
"YEAH! Imagine. Life just like this. Just you and me, just having fun everyday." The taller kid entangled his legs around Jaejoong's, "It's so boring here without you." In translation: Yunho means he's extremely lonely here all the time.
"Awww Yunnie" Jaejoong sniffed, feeling sad for his best friend. "I'll always be here, don't worry!"
Yunho pouted again before asking, "You promise?"
"I promise!"
The two hugged again before Yunho broke the silence and said "I'll always be here for you too, Joongie."
Little Jaejoong smiled happily at his best friend's serious tone. Jaejoong really wished that he could just... leave the upperworld forever and just live here with Yunho. But he knew just how impossible that dream of his was. How sad. He frowned when his thoughts lingered on it. Yunho looked at Jae's face. "What's wrong, Joongie?"
"Nothing, Yunnie. I was just thinking how I'm only happy when I'm with you."
Yunho's mouth formed a big O. "Me too!" Whenever Yunho's parents would visit him (though very rarely) Yunho didn't feel genuinely happy to see them. He didn't know them well enough and it didn't even seem like they loved him. They'd flood him with new toys and gifts but it was nothing compared to simply laying side-by-side with Jae. "I really love you, Jaejoongie~"
"I really love you too!" Jaejoong giggled cutely.
▬
Jaejoong has been going back and forth between the upper world and earth for almost 10 years now. It was a routine of his, after his "business", he'd sneak past those two useless guards, climb down the "Ladder Between Two Realms" and visit his Yunho.
"Business" referred to Jaejoong ending someone's life on the gods' command. He finally started doing that when he turned 13.
Today, Jaejoong was in a terrible mood. The balance beam pronounced the fate of an innocent old man and it was Jaejoong's task to end his life. Jaejoong's style of...doing his deed was done gently. He'd approach the humans in their sleep and gently cradle them in his arms and sing sad, sad lullabies until they slowly die under his powers. Jaejoong hated his life, how he had to do this all the time, and how he was responsible for the death of innocent human beings. There was no escaping from this lifestyle. He really hated it.
Once Jaejoong settled his feet on human soil, he transported to Yunho's manor where he was waiting for him.
"Boo Jae" Yunho greeted his beautiful lover when he climbed up his window.
After years of being best of friends, their feelings seemed to have escalated to a point of no return in which they both realized just what type of love they really harbored for each other. One thing they knew for sure back then, it wasn't just a friendship type of love, it was way more than that. On Yunho's 15th birthday, he professed his love and for 2 and a half years, they have been steady lovers.
Yunho tenderly hugged his boo, missing him. He hated how they could only meet at a certain part of the day. Since Jaejoong turned 13, instead of staying with Yunho for most of the day, Jaejoong would only come at sundown and leave 5 hours later. Yunho cherished all of Jaejoong's visits.
"Yunho, I miss you." Jaejoong said even though they had only met yesterday. What he really needed right now was to be encased in Yunho's protective arms. To erase the image of a dead human body slumping in his arms, the sound of silence when their heart beat no more, and the feel of their skin running cold.
"I miss you too, Jae" Yunho said as he hugged his lover even more tightly. He buried his face on the crook of his beloved's neck and inhaled his lover's sweet-smelling fragrance.
Yunho slowly guided them both towards his large bed until the back of his knees hit the bed and he fell back on the matress with Jaejoong's slim form straddling his waist. Yunho still found it hard to believe how he could have such a perfect lover, he thought as he watched as his lover did nothing but stare at him. Jaejoong's creamy skin bathed in the moonlight, showing each and every feature of his beautiful, beautiful face.
Jaejoong slowly leaned down and gave his lover a slow, barely-there kiss, just merely tracing his lips over the surface of yunho's before sitting up again. Yunho lifted one of his arms up lazily and tugged on his lover's white shirt, asking for him to get rid of it. Jaejoong smiled as he slowly undressed right before his lover. Yunho marveled at the sight. Such flawless skin. Once Jaejoong tossed the flimsy attire to one of the corners of Yunho's room, the latter lifted his right hand and caressed his lover's stomach all the way up to his chest with the palm of his hand.
Jaejoong enjoyed the heat emanating from Yunho's large hands as he continued feeling each and every part of Jaejoong's upper torso, as if trying to memorize every piece of him.
"Kiss me." Yunho whispered. Jaejoong didn't need to be told twice as he swooped down again but this time made their contact deeper and more intense. In no time, Jaejoong was running out of air as he disconnected their lips. Yunho leaned up on his elbow and planted his lips on Jaejoong's neck, kissing it languidly before biting and sucking it gently.
Jaejoong moaned at Yunho's ministrations. Yunho's lips started to trail down as he moved his lips to the middle of his neck then down to his collar bones then to his shoulder, his chest, then atop his soft nipples. Yunho made sure that all of his love and passion for the smaller man would be conveyed in his kisses. All the while, euphonious moans were released by Jaejoong.
Yunho chose the moment to switch their positions so that Jaejoong's back was laying comfortably on the soft mattress. He continued his ministrations on Jaejoong's sweet-looking nubs. Yunho gave it a swift lick before sucking on it while squeezing the other nub in his fingers.
"Y-Yunho, too good." Jaejoong said as he squirmed in pleasure.
After Yunho gently kissed, licked, and sucked at least every part of Jaejoong's upper torso, Yunho stopped for a while only to pause and gaze at the look of absolute pleasure written all over his lover's face. He told Jaejoong to turn around on his stomach then go on his hands and knees. Yunho then pulled off Jaejoong's loose pants and brief. Yunho stared at Jaejoong's firm and round butt and kneaded it a bit before leaning down and giving the valley between the two globes a long lick.
"Oh my... Baby, what are you doing?" Jaejoong was so new to all of this. It felt so good but it was kind of weird also. Jaejoong found it hard to suppress his moans as Yunho continued to lick his butt, right above his hole. Right when Jaejoong was about to relax, he felt Yunho's tongue penetrate his hole. "Ohh... Ah" Jaejoong could not support his weight anymore as his upper torso fell on the bed with his butt sticking out. Jaejoong gripped the bed sheets tightly as Yunho thrusted his tongue in faster and deeper. Yunho wrapped his arms around Jaejoong's waist to help him stay up as he kept on lathering Jaejoong's hole with his saliva.
When Yunho removed his tongue from his warm hole, Jaejoong moaned in protest. He glanced back and saw that Yunho was getting rid of all the remaining articles of clothing he still had on. Jaejoong's trailed over his handsome lover's godly body; chiseled abs, tan skin glowing gloriously even in the darkness, and .... oh. The beauty's eyes widened when he saw the size of Yunho's member. It was exceptionally wide and long. Jaejoong gulped. He knew some things about sex. His lover was going to insert his manhood inside his.... anus.
Jaejoong watched as Yunho spread some kind of lubrication around his manhood before gripping his waist again.
"Are you ready, love?" Yunho whispered. After Jaejoong nodded, Yunho slowly inserted his member. His eyes almost rolled back to the back of his socket at the feeling of Jaejoong's extremely tight hole enclosed over his member. The sensation was amazing. He slowly went in deeper, and deeper, and deeper until he was fully seated. Yunho caressed his lover's back then said, "Just let me know when you're ready for me to move."
Jaejoong squirmed for a few more moments before quietly whispering that he was ready. Yunho slowly made a move to remove his member from the hole before thrusting back in. "Ah.." Jaejoong whimpered. Yunho continued going, slowly picking up his speed. Jaejoong was a hot and moaning mess below him and Yunho was getting impossibly harder just from how Jaejoong reacted to his penetration. Yunho kissed Jaejoong's spine as he continued thrusting erratically.
Their love-making was a heat filled night as they did it non-stop until Jaejoong would have to return back to the upperworld. The couple were both fully spent as they whispered sweet nothings into each other's ears. Proclaiming again and again just how much they loved each other and how they cannot live without the other....
"Boo, I love you more than the air I breathe, always know that." Yunho whispered to his lover before he was going to leave outside the window again. They had another deep kiss before Jaejoong said farewell and disappeared from outside of Yunho's window.
▬
Jaejoong yawned tiredly as he woke up from his slumber on cloud 9 (ironically, that cloud belonged to Jaejoong) then floated over to the area where his clothes were kept so he could change into something again. Jaejoong decided to wear a turtle neck since marks from last night were clearly shown on his neck and shoulders and just...everywhere. Jaejoong smiled fondly at the memory of his loving night with Yunho. He felt like squealing giddily but controlled himself, remembering where he was. He couldn't wait to meet him again tonight.
After Jaejoong was dressed in a decent attire, he left to go to the big council hall when they were going to place hearts on the balance beam once again. Everyone seamed riled up today. More excited than usual.
As Jaejoong passed along the hall to look for a seat, Jihoon passed by and brushed shoulders roughly with him causing Jaejoong to almost fall.
"You're going to regret breaking my heart, Kim." Jihoon sneered before he continued going in a different direction.
Jihoon was one of the many angels that fancied the beautiful Kim Jaejoong. Him, unlike all the other admirers, was more bold so he was not afraid to approach Jaejoong and confess to him. Jaejoong politely declined and said that he already has someone else of interest. Ever since then, Jihoon has been nothing but hostile to him.
Jaejoong sighed. It's not like he harshly said "no" or anything.
After the weighing of hearts were done, they announced the name of the unlucky one.
...
"Jung Yunho."
Did Jaejoong just hear correctly?
Right at that very moment, Jaejoong's blood ran cold, feeling as if his own power of death was seeping in his own skin, eating him alive. Jaejoong felt his own heart beat stop, his eyes suddenly lost all of its luster and happiness from last night. He was suddenly empty, feeling a lot more like a corpse rather than an angel. He felt so numb, so cold...
"HAHA! Look at his face!"
"Awww poor baby Jae, has to kill his own filthy human lover. Ahahaha!"
"After he terminates that Jung Yunho, maybe we'll have a chance with him."
Jaejoong dropped down on his knees. This can't be... This has got to be a horrible, sick and twisted nightmare. No. no. no. no. no. Jaejoong did not even care how the rest of the angels and gods found out. He didn't care about anything at all. He didn't. All he needed was to see his Yunho.
And once again, Jaejoong felt lost.
"Kim Jaejoong. The only thing special about today's event is that the guest will be escorted HERE in the upperworld. At least his last few breaths will be in such a beautiful place as this." One of the gods tauntingly said as he clapped his hands together.
Jaejoong heard a thud and saw his Yunho a few feet away from him, eyes blindfolded and hands bound.
"Where am I?" Yunho muttered. "Someone! Is anyone here to help me?"
"Y-Y-Yunho...." Jaejoong felt his eyes brimming with prickling tears.
"Jaejoong? Boo Jae, is that you? Oh thank god you're here." Yunho looked so relieved to hear Jaejoong's voice. Feeling safe all of a sudden.
Jaejoong took one step foreward, so that he could give his lover a hug and grab him and run away from this horrid place. He was stopped however when Kangin and Dongwook grabbed his arms so that he would stay where he was. Jaejoong just stood there are started full-on crying his heart out. Loosing his strength to fight back. Once the gods made their decision, there was no revoking them.
"Jaejoong?" Yunho croaked.
"Y-Yunho... I'm here. Don't be worried." The depressed angel whimpered out.
One of the gods rolled his eyes. "Kim Jaejoong. What are you waiting for? Our precious time is ticking, time to kill him." He stared at his best angel of death as he started falling apart. It was a bit heart-wrenching to look at but still oh-so amusing.
Yunho's body froze once he heard those words. His Jaejoong...... is going to kill him? What kind of a....
"NO. NEVER!" Jaejoong started thrashing about so that he could release himself from Kangin and Dongwook's tight hold. "Let go of me!" He screeched.
"What's going on in here?" Yunho was starting to panic. What were they doing to his beloved. Were they blackmailing him? Torturing him? Yunho tried to stand up but felt an electrical sensation when he had done so. "What the..."
"Kill. him. now"
Jaejoong stopped thrashing suddenly. The council of gods watched wondering what was happening to the lad. He started to become as still as a stature...and calmed down. He finally decided as to what he's going to do. He closed his eyes and thought this through. He had to do this. Once Jaejoong opened his eyes again, they were a glowing, brilliant red. All of the spectators were starting to feel fear now, even the gods. The only one whose eyes would glow like that was the god of death's.... who was last sighted centuries ago. Does that mean that Jaejoong... was the descendant of the god of death all along?
With Jaejoong's extreme despair and anger, he let the powers of death emanate from his body. The mist started escalating in the air, anyone who would inhale it were sure to die. Jaejoong was very good in controlling the fumes. He made sure it went nowhere near his lover.
Soon, Kangin, Dongwook, and a few other gods dropped dead.
The reason the god of death was so feared was because he was the only one who had power over even the gods.... the god of death is the only person who can kill them.
With a whisk of Jaejoong's hand, he revoked his deathly mists and ran over to his lover. He gave him a passionate kiss...of goodbye. "Jaejoong. What is happening?" Yunho asked, worried as he breathed on his lover, basking in their closeness. He noted the gloomy atmosphere surrounding them. It was almost foreboding...
Anytime now...
Expected by the angel, his very core began to tear open.
The only drawback to being the god of death was that if you ever caused harm over another god, you would perish and die one of the most painful of deaths...
Jaejoong made sure to bite his lips tightly so that no sound of agony will be released. He didn't want Yunho to worry. He grazed his palm over Yunho's cheek very gently one last time "I love you." were his last words while more tears continued to stream down his face before falling limply. Jaejoong never looked so alive while he lived... but now that Death has finally left his body, Jaejoong's cheeks were flushed to a light pink, lips red, looking like a real human being.
Yunho's blindfold vanished. When he opened his eyes, he met with a sight that was so horrifying that he didn't even know what to do with himself anymore. Tears would not stop falling when he caught sight of his angel now bereft of life. Dried tears staining his angel's face. He then bent down to cradle his lover in his arms whispering words of love and agony over and over again. "Why did you leave me? Why...? Please come back. Wake up, Boo Jae." He sobbed painfully as he stared at Jaejoong's face that looked so peaceful, as if he was just asleep. He hugged his lover's pure corpse tightly, unwilling to ever let him go... knowing that he will never wake again. Yunho now looked forward to nothing at all. His future was meaningless without his source of happiness and life now being gone. All Yunho knew was that he had to stay alive as long as he can for his reason to live gave up his life just for him to live. The irony of it all. Yunho could not wait for that day to naturally meet Death... He did not want to live anymore.
Yunho continued crying while nestling his beloved in his arms.
"I love you." He whispered in anguish cursing his fate.
a/n: I love angst so much!♥ btw, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! The plot is really weird ahaha. I blame my overflowing imagination.
