nursing wounds in an open field

[slayers_desire]

Still in shock, April held onto Clark as he speed her to an open, quiet field. It was better than the Nexus, with less emotions off randomly passing people. And there was a familiarity in Clark's worried emotions and thoughts.

Her breathing was slowing down to a normal pace. The first concern would be the cut, which still had not healed with her abilities. April knew she had to explain, somehow.

"Poison. On her nails..."

His blood is amazing. In so many different ways. She can taste the pleasure, mixed in with the effects of the kryptonite.

The Beast can sense his weakness. Savours his taste. His blood is strong. Very nourishing. And so sweet.

But April won't take much. No more than one would take during a standard's doctors appointment. When she stops feeding, she will move the lead box away from Clark and ensure it is closed.

"That's... good." Her tone is soft. Almost sultry.

He blinks, brain muzzy like he's emerging from underwater, but slowly clearing as his body realizes the poison is gone. The sunlight from above helps re-energize him as he recovers, and he looks up at her. "Better?"

[slayers-desire.livejournal.com]

"Much. Having no difficulties with the poison anymore." They both had close calls with poison today. His by choice. And she gently guides her fingers down his back in a gentle caress.

"Quieter too." She can still sense him. Very much so. But the other voices are starting to disappear.

"Good." He's feeling better by the minute, and he's glad to see that she is too.

This, however, means that they're both well enough for questions. "What happened? You... weren't really up to talking earlier."

April will move to lie beside Clark, just enjoying the sun and the quietness of the field. The moment of silence is broken by Clark's question.

"My mother... she opened my vein to drink of my blood." This might explain why April wasn't going to feed off Clark without permission.

He's a little stunned by that. "...oh." He thought it was bad enough that she was raised by sadistic demons, but her actual biological mother doesn't seem much better. At all. "How'd you get away?"

[slayers-desire.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately for April, her mother is one of those typical Buffy-vampires. Without a soul. And had been the one who gave her to the demons to be raised.

Fun.

"My father distracted her."

While he is glad that she escaped without dying horribly, it doesn't mean everything is wonderful. "Is he okay?"

[slayers-desire.livejournal.com]

"He will be fine. He was with her for centuries, and knows how to handle her." April replied softly.

She moves to rest her head on his shoulder. "I inherited my voices from her. And she is a bit... touched."

Clark remembers her words about how the only other person in her world with visions went crazy. He hadn't realized it was a relative, let alone her mother. "Wow. I can understand why you were worried."

[slayers-desire.livejournal.com]

"I do't want to become like that. Ever." April addresses her worries vocally. For the first time in her life.

[kalel-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

He wraps his arms around her in a hug. "I won't let you, if I can help it." He worries that one day he might not be there to help, or he'll be too late. "You'll be fine." Because she has to be. "I believe in you."

[slayers-desire.livejournal.com]

"You keep me strong, Clark." April returns the hug. And sensing his worries of not getting to her in time, she provides some assurance. "Your strength in my heart."

Their bond is very close after all they survived together. And now April has touched his mind, been nourished by his blood, and knows that she is in his heart.

Quite literally, in a sense. He smiles a little, a question in his mind, and after a moment he asks it. "Was it... different? My blood, I mean."

[slayers-desire.livejournal.com]

"Your blood is... amazing. Powerful. Almost..." April takes a breath, "Seductive."

[kalel-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

The tips of his ears turn a little red. "I-I'm glad it was good for you."

[slayers-desire.livejournal.com]

"I..." The blood must be returning back to normal in her system, because her faces flushes red slightly. "If it had not been for the pain I sensed from you, I would have been more than aroused."

[kalel-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

The red on his ears darkens, and he fake-coughs in embarrassment. "Guess we'll have to watch that." He knew his blood could heal, but he didn't know it was an aphrodisiac too. That's a few levels of awkward. "But if you ever... I mean, if you need me to do this again, I will." He feels it's important to let her know, in case something happens where he can't respond. He doesn't anticipate that happening, but in his experience, it's always better to make sure before it's necessary. Like entrusting a box of kryptonite to certain people.

"I sensed your reaction..." April shyly notes. "It fueled the sensation."

It is reassuring that he is willing to give his blood to her at any time. And kisses him softly because of that.

"I feel better, knowing that we have each other to depend on."
