A/N: I’m sorry this took so long to update. I’ve been so tired and busy with my new job. It’s very short, my apologies.
The lightning crashed and the rain poured down upon him; he stood arms outstretched as if invoking a sacred prayer to the Heavens.
Ignoring the biting cold and the threat of being struck, Dr. Shim Changmin remained on the top of his tower. Unafraid he embraced the beauty and the wrath of nature; for it was this awesome and frightening power that had allowed him to create not one, but two creatures, Yunho and now Jaejoong. His two creations were proof that he was brilliant, but his mind was troubled. Did the Heavens really want him to play God; for that was what he was; a God among men; the worthy successor to Dr. Frankentein whose castle and lands he now called his own.
The storm intensified and Changmin decided it was time to let nature run it’s course. He lowered the platform; the dome ceiling doors closing as soon as he cleared it. Gracefully he jumped off the platform, landing like a cat; never missing a step he strode toward his work table where he removed his goggles and his lab coat. Soaked to the bone, he stripped himself of all his clothes save his undergarments. He made his way through the grand foyer of his castle, briefly stopping in the kitchen to pick up a tray of bread, cheese, grapes and a bottle of red wine.
He continued up the spiral staircase; pictures of the family of the previous owner still hung on the walls. He smiled as he passed the most recent one; it was draped with a cloth so the portrait could not be seen. He smiled and nodded his head.
“Soon,” he mumbled under his breath as he imagined the look on Dorian Gray’s face when he realized his portrait was missing.
The evil doctor remembered himself and continued to climb the staircase. Sconces lit the otherwise gloomy halls of Burg Frankenstein; very little light every entered this accursed place.
Very little sound could be heard either except when the mad doctor was in his lab; machines crackled and beakers bubbled; it frightened Yunho sometimes; he never liked the noise and the lightning.
But tonight the hallways were filled with the hush sounds of two men; two very special men. As Changmin approached the room his not so graceful foot made the floorboards creak and he was discovered.
“Master,” Yunho called out to him,” come sit with us. Jaejoong has so many questions.”
Changmin reluctantly opened the door and stepped inside. He sighed deeply as he gazed upon his two creations; one handsome and strong; the other also well built, but whose face was beauteous and not unlike a woman’s.
Jaejoong was truly something to behold.
“Yunho, did you not find Jaejoong clothes like I asked?”
Yunho blushed as Jaejoong sat naked upon his new found friends bed.
Changmin placed the tray and the decanter on a side table and started looking through Yunho’s closet to find something for Jaejoong to wear. He pulled out some simple garments and approached Jaejoong. But the beauty shied away from his creator; he clung to Yunho for dear life.
“You’ve bonded, I see,” the evil doctor stated. “Then it will be your responsibility to teach him everything. Do you understand?”
Yunho nodded.
Changmin turned, but Yunho’s words made him stop.
“Master, will you stay with us. We’re frightened of the storm.”
Changmin smirked; he could tell Yunho worried that Jaejoong might not do well with the howling winds and the lightning.
“Alright,” the doctor said trying to calm his progeny,” give me a minute to gather a few things.”
He left them alone for a few minutes; returning dressed in his night clothes, a glass and his pipe in each hand. Sitting in an overstuffed chair, his long legs crossed over on top of an ottoman, he watched through narrowed eyes as Yunho dressed his companion; the gentleness and care in which he took remarkable considering the real Frankenstein’s creations were brutes; clumsy lumbering and unintelligent.
Changmin puffed out his chest in pride; he had broken Frankenstein’s curse. His creations were beautiful, smart and self-sufficient. It would only be a matter of time before Jaejoong would settle in and be like Yunho.
As the evening progressed, Changmin answered Jaejoong’s questions to the best of his ability. The hardest of course was “where did I come from.” Jaejoong was angry at first; he stormed across the room; Yunho doing his best to calm him down. There were lots of tears shed by both creations; Yunho soothing Jaejoong; remembering his reaction when he discovered who he was. The newest addition to Burg Frankenstein calmed down with the help of the doctor’s red wine and the delicious food he ingested for the first time.
Soon it was evident that all were exhausted. Jaejoong and Yunho crawled in to bed together; Changmin raised an eyebrow but did not flinch. He puffed on his pipe until the two men drifted to sleep. Yunho had his work cut out for him, for the morning would bring more wonders to reveal.
Changmin stoked the fire one last time. Succumbing to the wine his eyelids grew heavy; he sighed deeply at his creations; they seemed so perfect together. He felt a twinge of jealousy; perhaps one day he would find someone special. As he he drifted to sleep; others too slumbered; those companions travelling to Budapest to meet the final member of their notorious band; a creature of the night who feared nothing save the rising of the sun.
