Snakecharmer chapter 1: chapter 3

Alexander woke in a mix of coils and fabric, his breathing soft and even as he was pulled from the dreamless sleep. Did vampires dream... or had he been saved from the replaying memory because.... He turned his eyes up along the coils slowly to look to the human half of the Naga that had saved his life before he realized his arm was wrapped around the tail and he slowly pushed himself into a sitting position, "Spine..." he wondered softly blinking up towards the intimidating creature again.

The majestic creature shifted a little at his name and the tail curled around Alexander's waist a little in his sleep, something that apparently happened often, because the blankets were good and truly tangled around his scales now.

Spine's tongue woke next, dancing out along his lips a few times and them the vermillion eyes slid open to blink at the vampire a little groggily. He was moving slowly, like his body has suddenly become very thick and heavy over night, and when he'd pushed himself up enough it was to reach and pull the gray star and red ruby pendant from where it had hung on the wall during the night, slipping it over his head to dangle at his chest. Within moments, the naga had stretched himself and was moving a bit more faster and more normally, smiling at Alexander as he rested back against the pillows.

“Good evening again, Alexander” he greeted, “forgive me, I have a difficult time waking if I take off the amulet. Being cold blooded certainly is a double edged blade”

"you're cold?" Alexander wondered in surprised, "i haven't ever been this warm before..." He admitted, the church didn't have much as far as heating and Moriel did what he could, while his parents could care less and even though heat rose it always got quite cold in the attic during the winter.

“My body is cold blooded so when I cease to move for extended periods of time in the dark it cools down internally. However because of my already high temperatures, my body would still be externally warm to the touch.” Spine explained, finger combing his long hair a few times to brush it out, “How did you sleep, my friend?”

"...Very well...I hadn't expected to but... I did." he admitted, smiling slightly then blushed a little bit, "I didn't even dream anything..." he explained as he adjusted the blanket again because it had been slipping free of his slim shoulders.

“I'm glad then.” Spine curled forward and wrapped his arms tightly around the vampire and the blanket, lifting him up to slither up the ramp and through the curtain back into the living room, “how are you feeling?”

"Mentally... I'm fine I guess, but physically I feel really weak." he admitted as he held up his hands, all the vampiric strength he had felt yesterday had left him, even if at the time that proved to not be much and he recalled the power he'd been told not to use, "Of course I've always been mentally stronger than most..”

Spine set him down on the cushion and took the vampire's face in his soft hands, looking at him closely, “you look more pale than you did yesterday, it must be the Thirst starting to get to you, hm? Powers of the mind are very handy, but one cannot neglect his physical powers either... Very well, would you like to drink from me or do you think you're up for hunting something?”

"Hunting...?" he asked a bit distressed at the thought, that went a bit against what the church tried to teach him- even if he did see the hypocrisy in some cases- and when his father tried to make him he'd never been very good at it, "...No...I don't think I can really." he told him glancing up at him through his bangs.

“Then it is from me that you must seek what you require.” Spine tipped his head back in order to flip his hair out of the way, then hugged Alexander to him and inclined it enough to expose his bare throat, “drink as much as you desire, naga have a great deal more blood than humans and therefore can stand to loose more, so even if you tried I somewhat doubt you could drain me completely.” he chuckled, in some strange form of reassurance it seemed.

Alex furrowed his brow slightly at the strange attempt at humor before he nodded a little bit and he moved up closer to him putting his hands on his shoulders to lift himself up a more to get closer to his neck and as his fangs touched his skin he grimaced, his mentor's last words screeching in his brain and he closed his eyes tightly. A force moved out and lashed hard across the room, colliding with a few of the candles and left a gouge in the wall behind it, "I can't...." he said quietly shaking his head a few times as he gripped his shoulders more tightly.


Spine's eyes flicked to their corners and his tongue questioned the air for an answer as to what had hit the wall, but received none, so correctly assumed it was related to Alexander somehow. He tightened his grip supportingly around Alex and cooed a soft sound of comfort, “my friend... the past is done and complete. We cannot change what has already happened and to regret it only brings a weight of pain to our shoulders, such as the one that you are being gripped by. You must drink from me for your nourishment and stay strong, Alex.” he said patiently, running his fingers through the others hair.

Alex turned his eyes up to look at him for a moment, his eyes a bit glazed and watery but he slowly nodded and tried again. This time he was able to pierce through the skin with the needle point fangs and closed his eyes tightly at the taste that flooded into his mouth, his hands flexing a bit now on his shoulders as he considered it. It was true... he didn't want to stop drinking. The taste was like a drug that invaded through his vampire senses and woke them, lighting up nerves in its path and making things like scent and touch all the more sensitive. He could feel the alternate beating of each of the naga's three hearts through his own body, pumping strongly despite the fact that Alex was pulling their blood from them. The sensation refused to fade, but he eventually pulled back on his own to break the delicious contact and gave a slight lick across the wounds he'd made.

Spine had been sure to hold very still as the boy drank for him, his eyes heavily lidded at the peculiar feeling, but like he had mentioned before- it wasn't the first time he'd been bitten. Feeling the soft, blood heated tongue smoothing over his neck made him shiver a little and his fingers twitched against Alexander's back, leaning away so he could touch their foreheads together instead, “good job Alex...”

Alexander opened his eyes a little bit to stare up at him and smiled just slightly his fingers twitching a bit before he slowly relaxed, "thank you... I feel a lot better now." he murmured softly as he bowed his head to his shoulder instead and curled up a little bit there as he let his breathing settle and he contemplated the new strength, it was stronger than Morial's blood had been...

“you look better.” Spine stroked his fingers through Alexander's bangs to shift them out of the way of his eyes and smiled when he could see them clearly again, “Are you ready to go? We'll head down into my other den, and there will be clothes there you can pick from.”

"your other den?" he blinked, then he wasn't all that surprised but he vaguely wondered what the point in it was... "yeah I'm ready." he promised as he moved to reach down and get his blanket and wrap it around himself more carefully again, trying to avoid touching his scales to much but it was difficult.

Spine took Alexander back to ground level, then hook his tail through a vine hidden in the moss and pulled it up. The vine soon proved to be fastened to either side of a metal door, the hole beneath yawning open to a wooden ramp that led down and underground. The naga beckoned with a curl of his finger and descended down the ramp, trusting both of their dark visions' to guide Alexander where he needed to go without trouble, “if the storms get very bad I come down here to avoid falling trees or lightning.”

"You're scared of thunder too...?" he wondered softly before he could stop himself then clamped his mouth shut, "I mean...well... so we'll both come down here when there is storms?" he asked a bit hopefully.

The naga tipped his head to look at Alexander at that revelation, trying to imagine being afraid of something he knew very well couldn't hurt him, but he had never been one to judge. Quite the contrary- with the bit of hope in the vampires voice it made him want to wrap him up and protect him for just about forever, “Yes, if that's what you wish. The thunder gets fairly loud here because it echoes in the gorge to the south, so we can come down here where it will be muffled by the earth.”

Alexander glanced over at him and then smiled softly as he felt himself being comforted by the prospect of a good place to hide, "Thank you..." He trailed then turned his eyes to the clothes he'd been gestured to and he went over to it reaching out and pulled out some clothes but ended up only finding a shirt that he liked that went to his lower thigh, "...it's like a dress." he mused vaguely.

Spine took a moment to look around this den- which was currently filled with pillows like the other one, but the hangings were white, as were the blankets, and a few chests were stacked on one wall that looked as though they once have belonged to a princess of old as a dowry, and inside was filled with modern clothes and trinkets he'd collected. When he looked back at Alexander, he couldn't help but stare at him, his tongue starting to dance out but he stopped it with his teeth and sucked it back in, “well there's no one around here you need to impress, so if you like the shirt then you can stick with just that.”

Alexander smiled and ran a hand back through his hair and blushed a little bit as he glanced up at him with a rather childish expression now, "Okay..." he agreed as he moved over to him again after glancing around the room a bit then reached out letting his finger tips graze over a few of the scales and blushed faintly, "Thank you... What do you want me to do? At home... I took care of my siblings and at the church I studied. What am I to do... while I'm staying with you?" he wondered.

“What is it you want to do?” Spine asked, reaching out instinctively to settle his arms in a loose hug around the boys waist since they were already close together. Spine was a constrictor after all, and felt more comfortable when he was wrapped around something, “I'm not going to make you do anything Alex, you'll have to decide what you desire so that I may help you to achieve it.”

"But..." he trailed and closed his eyes most of the way, "I don't know what I want to do with my life... I don't really have any goals, the only thing I really enjoy doing is reading and ... I suppose I'm interested in different religions just because I know there are many so different from the one that I learned of, like the reason that those people were burned..." he explained closing his eyes a little bit and frowned at the memory of those burnings.

“The witches? Yes, silly humans... they couldn't tell a real witch from their elbows.” Spine snorted faintly, “rumors started by children that ended in the destruction of so many innocent lives, while the real witches lived on and simply laughed at the misfortune. If books are what you wish, then we can go to Sazuka, he owns every book any dead ever took with them, and that is a great many let me tell you.”

The vampire's eyes lit up a little bit at the thought and he smiled up at him, "could we? would like that." he asked, he wondered if this man had more books than the monastery had, he wondered what sort of books there were that he hadn't yet read. His cheeks flushed pleasantly now as he moved a bit closer in his enthusiasm and his finger tips brushed on the scales again. He hesitated, and then lifted his hands to set them against his chest instead, a safe distance from the tail though he'd forgot somewhat to consider his still bare legs.

Spine's lip twitched as a less than polite thought crossed his mind, and his traitorous tail was moving before he could internally censor it and stop the process. Before he knew it, his tail had wrapped the vampire up to about his waist, the scales gliding effortlessly over the preternatural skin as a forked tongue tickled Alexander's jaw, “Books are all you want...?”

"Ah-ah-" Alex gasped his cheeks flushing even more brightly as he turned his head back a bit and then down as his finger tips dug into his skin a bit before he could stop himself, "Spine?? That's not... all." he allowed, his breath shuddering and his tone unsure as he turned his eyes to glance up at him, only hoping that they didn't look too glazed.

“What else then?” The naga pressed, his lips twitching back into a playful smirk as the tip of his tail wound around and up Alexander's thigh, then continued on to trace the black markings down the vampire's sides even if Spine couldn't see them with the shirt on- he had been watching Alex sleep at some point the night before and memorized the interesting pattern.

"I-I don't know." he started his mind reeling slightly at the overwhelming sensations, stronger than they had ever been before, they'd totally consumed him and he was sure by now it was very easy for Spine to tell since he was so close, and the naga could indeed feel the stiffening in the boys' lower regions.

"I haven't ever-" he tried with another gasp before his mind flickered back to the man at the church that he'd killed, but somehow this wasn't the same, he wasn't afraid... alarmed and surprised yes... but not afraid, it was a strange sort of desire...

“hmm? You can trust me Alex, I'm not going to hurt you, nor will I do anything without your consent.” Spine promised even as he lowered his head to nuzzle the side of the vampires neck, taking in his scent and committing it to memory. His thoughts entirely were on the boy that had wandered so blindly into Spine's life, and felt too welcome to leave now it seemed, “tell me when to stop.” He directed, tail curving around and moving like a living thing beneath Alex's shirt as it made its way to his chest.

"Okay..." he barely managed to whisper as he his eyes rolled back a little bit before he closed them tightly and a small moan escaped from his throat and his hands found his way up to his hair and his fingers slowly knotted through the dark green stands.

Spine's fingers ghosted across Alexander's face, tipping his head back and raised himself up more to connect their lips together. Alex shied at first, but the patient serpent simply waited until the soft lips came back to his own and he smiled against them, the forked tongue gliding across the others' lips to coax them to part. He didn't seem to understand, so Spine twitched the end of his tail around to locate a nipple and glide the scales across the sensitive nub, making the brunette gasp and allow his tongue in to wrap around the vampires' a few times to entice it to play with him. Alexander was far less than experienced, but he tried to play back nonetheless once he got over the strange timidness that was fluttering like moths in his stomach and making his heart quicken to roughly the pace of a hummingbirds. The heat rose between them and the coils were everywhere, the tail lifting the vampire and tilting so he was leaning back against the smooth belly scales at an angle, head tipped back to allow Spine to suckle on his Adam's apple with a hum of delight, like it was he that was the vampire and just the taste of his skin rivaled that of his blood.

“Too hot...” Alexander whispered imploringly, half closing his eyes and Spine seemed to understand even before the smaller boy himself had, running his hands down the vampires' sides until he got to the bottom of his shirt then tugging it up and over his head.

He did feel better once the shirt was gone, a bit of cool air from the open tunnel beyond trailed over the exposed, hardened flesh of the vampire and brought some kind of relief- a small one though, because that too hot and not hot enough mouth was fastening periodically to part of his chest and the wicked tongue was paying close attention to his pert and dusky nipples. By the time Alexander began to wonder if he could ever stop making such embarrassing groans of need, the naga's mouth had already left a trail of pinkish marks all the way down his side, over the black marking and was examining his slim hips.

A forked tongue flicked curiously at the head of his hardened sex and the boy arched his back at once, his hands running over the seemingly endless tendril of scales all around him. He was being moved, turning and slid across the tail all the time and yet always held in the perfect place for the snake's mouth to antagonize him, a mouse trapped running on not the tail of a serpent, but of a hydra- or at least that's what it felt like. A dangerous thrill ran through the young vampire's body as he thought of those sharp teeth within the gently kissing mouth of his new lover, thinking of just how many Hags or beasts or humans had fallen prey to this perfect hunter, and now here he was using that same skillful mouth to cause him such pleasure. Spine parted his lips more and sank his mouth down over the head, causing a shiver of intensity to rock the body beneath him but again the prey was held far too easily in the clutches of the green haired prince, and he unhinged his jaw to take in every inch of the boy's cock without any trouble. Alexander cried out loudly and threw his head from side to side a few times, ruffling his hair everywhere in the process as it was shaken across the thick tail he was still propped back against- and a good thing, or he would have fallen into the mess of white pillows and probably been lost to his own throes of pleasure.

Heat was building in him, a foreign sensation that he'd never actually felt before now and something altogether frightening. Was it something bad? Was it poison after all that he could now feel pumping like battery acid through his veins to pool near the mouth- which was currently suckling him with the long, thin and ropey tongue wrapped several times around his manhood? Something coiling, coiling, tightening like the snakes he found so beautifully fascinating, and his pleasure choked mind couldn't even register that Spine was an anaconda and therefore had no actual poison. He was drowning in all and it was becoming more and more terrifying....

“Spine!” Alexander tried, his toes curling when the naga hummed back to tell him he was listening and vibrated his vocal chords against his sensitive head, “Spine I think its... somethings happening, I don't feel right...” he breathed.

The prince released Alexander's sex from his mouth and replaced the wet heat with his hand, leaning up to nuzzle the side of his neck instead. He pressed their chests together and kissed the vampire's lips, smiling against them while his hand continued to stroke and guide the boy like a puppet on a single string, “its not bad, Alexander.” It'll feel good if you let it go... just let it go and trust me.”

Trust him?

It was true it felt nothing like before in the church... this felt incredible, and Spine hadn't not hurt him even after having so many chances to do so, and those scales just felt so good...

Alexander obeyed, giving into the sensations and screamed out the naga's name as he came hard across their stomachs, bucking into his hand as wave after wave of the bliss hit him. Spine curled one arm around his back to support him when the vampire arched that far and the tail continued to shift and twist to compensate for the writhing that the boy was doing, a deep chuckle rising in his throat to rumble against his chest.

Spine let go when he'd milked Alexander completely, watching as the boy panted for breath until the brunette finally opened his eyes curiously to see what the naga was doing now, and in response the serpent raised his fingers to his lips to begin licking the seed from his long fingers. Alex blushed as he stared, the forked tongue darting out to catch the drops and then the head lowered and a curtain of deep green hair tickled his stomach, surveying Spine as he proceeded to clean the boy of his own cum.

“Did that feel good?” asked the prince as he left a hickey on the inside of the powder soft thigh.

“Yes” Alexander answered hesitantly, bathing in the afterglow that flushed his skin and was only just now beginning to get his breath back, “more?”

“You want more?” Spine wondered, raising his eyebrows a little in surprise but the brunette nodded so he smiled and brushed his fingers through the others' bangs to get them out of his face, “very well, as you wish Alexander.”

If he was honest, Alex really wanted to know such a thing would even work with a naga. He wasn't stupid, he knew how sex was supposed to happen between two human males but he'd never heard of a human with a naga and was interested in actually finding out, as well as discovering more of the intense pleasure from before. To his pleasant surprise, Spine spent the next few minutes licking and nibbling at the brunette's sex to excite him again and let it harden back to its full length. When Alex was biting his bottom lip and closing his eyes to try to hold back the welcomed tightness, Spine stopped and pushed himself up more on his tail to give himself some room. The vampire opened the golden brown eyes again and looked to the Naga, following the curving path down his chest and navel, and to where the scales started just below it. His eyes widened just a little when Spine unsheathed himself, the cock sliding free of the protective scale layering and much thicker than he had thought it was going to be, already glistening and wet.

“Wha-...”

“The sheath secretes its own natural lubricant... which is good for us, because it wont be as painful for you if we were doing this without it. Besides that, it saves me the trouble some humans have of trying to remember to bring lubricant of their own.” Spine snorted in amusement at the look on Alexander face and coiled himself in to wrap his arms around the boys' hips and kiss his forehead.

The tongue fucking earlier and the stretching with his fingers he'd been doing not moment before also helped, and Spine very slowly buried himself into the tight heat of Alexander's body, the vampire gripping his shoulders so tightly that the nails bit into his skin and a few beads of blood rose to drip from his skin, to where the vampire could lick them off to distract himself. Spine winced, but he didn't mind so much- if it helped Alex get used to the feeling than he could have ripped open his back if he'd wanted to and the gentleman in him would not have permitted protest. When he was encased to the hilt and the boy has ceased to tremble, instead wrapping his legs around the naga's waist to pull him in deeper, Spine took the eagerness as a correct sign to go on ahead. He shifted to get the brunette to loosen his grip enough for him to pull out and then glided right back into him, picking up the pace after several slow thrusts and the pair began to pant from the friction and heat building between them. Spine's hair fell to either side of Alex's face again and within the soft curls it was just the two of them- the Naga and the Vampire who could see only each other as their navels kissed periodically and the sex increased in passion and noise.

Alexander was moaning almost constantly now, but when the Naga hit a certain spot within him he felt his body jolt and cried out, his eyes flying open to stare up in shock and lust at Spine, who gladly took the unspoken hint from the nails driving into his shoulder blades and intentionally angled his thrusts in that direction. The tail was moving faster now in rippling waves to push the prince in as deeply as he could go, the thick shaft rubbing against the boys prostate with every pass and neither of them could have said if they were upside down in the room, sideways, or if they were still right side up. Their walls were scales, their floor and ceiling the muscular and thick tail with just the two of them in the middle with their panting mouths connected in quick, harsh kissing where teeth clicked together and a little blood might be drawn from a lip to be quickly licked away by one of the predators.

Then Spine released his grip on one of the boys' hips and reached between them, squeezing his sex and stroking it more firmly than he had before to entice Alexander to climax faster. It worked to say the least, and he was soon crying out loudly with every thrust, pushing back each time until he came with a hoarse scream that could have been the prince's name, or it could have been nonsense. He gripped the naga so tightly with his arms and legs that Spine wondered if he thought he was going to suddenly leave him, but the already tight ass he was buried in clamped down even more and it only took a few more thrusts until the naga was emptying himself with a low growl into the boy, feeling the shudder of satisfaction run in light tremors through the heaving body attached to his own and licked his lips.

The vampire couldn't speak, nor did he move when he was carried back up to the tree den and placed against a heated chest within tangles of coils in the blissful darkness. It didn't matter, there was nothing to say. Neither of them had to justify what had happened, neither had sweet nothings to impart, no words of comfort or criticism, they simply -were-.
