Eric snifed the boxers and then threw them off his face. H laughed to covr his blush but it still happened. He then playfully glared at Ash and threw his boxers back.

Aroused, at peace, joyful

"Give me another dare."

Ash laughed and tossed the boxers back into his room "Ah a sucker for punishment eh?" He asked playfully

Looking at the now empty tray before them he noticed there was an empty plate that used to play host to a salad serving dish. Picking it up and holding it out he said playfully "You get to make out with this plate for 90 seconds. Full eye contact and you have to tell me who you were thinking of while doing it once you're done"

He set the plate on Eric's lap, the remnants of the salad still glistening with Italian dressing.

Amused, entertained, devious

__________________________________________

Eric had a disgusted look on his face. He did not know what to make of the dare.

"Hey, you could have chosen something a little more different than this." He said with a cringe.

He then picked up the plate and blushed a little bit. The only person who he had ever made out with was a girl. It was a dare back home, they had to do seven minuets in heaven and she made out with him.

Eric picked up the plate thrust his face into it. He remembered what he did with the girl and tried to get into it as much as he could with a salad. It went on for a while and when Eric felt like his 90 seconds were up he put the plate down. There was dressing all over his face and some of the carrot and red onion crumbs on his face as well. He got up and went to his room to wash his face off. He needed to change his shirt too. He came back and his hair was dripping water and he was shirt less with his tang top in his hand.

Embarrassed, felling like an idiot, amused

He took his previous seat and looked at Ash with a smirk.

"I guess I should tell you who I was thinking about, it was this girl named Anna from Germany. We had to do our version of seven minuets of heaven and she was the first person I made out with." He said with a blush.

"So..Truth or dare Ash?"

Ash giggled at the sight of Eric's face plastered with salad remains, and was quite ammused at the whole situation.

When Eric mentioned Anna though Ash had to fake his smile. He didn't know why it bothered him. It shouldn't. Eric was a friend right? It's not like he was hoping Eric would think of him. Right?

Through his fake smile Ash said "I'll take a dare"

Disappointment, jealousy, somewhat entertained, distracted

Eric noticed the awkward tension that was brought into the room. He laughed and rubbed the back of his head.

"I'll take a dare" Eric smirked and gestured at his now naked chest.

He had a plan, he wanted to test the impenetrable skin thing and plus he needed to get back at Ash.

"I dare you to punch my chest, As hard as you can." He said with a grin. He really wanted to see how much it would hurt to get punched.

Amused, awkward, curious

Ash looked at Eric's strong chest and blushed royally, and held his breath at the thought of hurting Eric. He took a deep breath and tried to avoid looking worried, and why should he be? He was fairly weak after all, since the heaviest thing he had ever lifted was a book. But still it just didn't sit right to hurt him.

'Well I guess I have to do it' He thought to himself

Taking another deep breath Ash stood up, taking the posture of a boxer. With a single swift move his fist barreled into Eric's chest with a force at least that of a professional boxer, courtesy of Ash's burgeoning demon powers. He gasped when he pulled back his fist and saw he had taken a large hunk of skin off of Eric's chest, exposing a strong black material underneath. (OOC the stuff you mentioned back at the diner with your peeling skin)

Panic

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" Ash exclaimed, guilt consuming him thinking he had just hurt Eric

Guilt, worry, self loathing, panic

Eric saw him take the stance and prepped himself for the punch to come. When it did Eric did not know what to expect but he felt the punch, and when he looked at Ash's hand the pain came rushing to him like a train. He looked down at it and touched the black material, and doubled over in pain. He did not know what to make of the pain and got a body wide itch.

Eric fell to the floor and started to scratch at the piece of free skin that Ash had created, Eric started to peel back with more and more of his skin. Every time he scratched it was a mixture of pain and pleasure and he could not stop. Soon his whole torso was blacked out with this black leather/skin like material. Have you ever had that itch on your nose and you just can't get it no matter what you do, well that's how Eric's face felt right now. When he dug in on his face it was even worse than his body and soon the only thing left from before was his curly hair his and skin. His eyes had also changed to a golden red color.

Excruciating pain, itchy, confused, feels different

He did know what was happening but he just laid there on the floor, his cloths all but destroyed from the scratching. Eric laid there naked and he did not feel a thing, except the air on his skin. It felt like he had been covered by cloths for years and this was the first time he actually felt the area around him. He could feel the warm air in the room, Ash's body heat, him fluxing up and down not knowing what to do.

released, revealed, tired

"Ash, how bad is it." He croaked out, but Eric already knew the answer, He lifted his hands and looked at the black that consumed his body. The a thought flashed his mind, was this what his true form looked like, what his soul looked like? Black as night and darker than the deepest shadow.

Eric started to cry and laugh historically at the same time.

In shock, sad, confused, scared, disgusted

"Can you believe it, my souls is black, absent of light and color, Ha! Well who would have seen it coming." He said through tears and chuckles. Eric looked over to Ash and smiled while the shock of the situation still ran through his body. He got up and walked over and into his room and fell down onto his bed not even closing the door.

It took Ash a while to process what had just happened. His brain was misfiring as if it was not comprehending what his eyes and ears had seen and heard. When Eric went back to his room, leaving a pile of skin on the floor, Ash finally awoke from his trance.

shocked, surprised, scared, concerned

Knocking on the bedroom door Ash said "Eric?... Eric its not that bad." he said comfortingly

Despite his surprising appearance something inside of him was calm, and something else. It was as if he were seeing a loved one after being apart for so long. His heart beat slowed as he sat on the edge of the bed and placed his hand on Eric's new skin.

"Don't worry about its color Eric. We are demons after all so black isn't a color that is too surprising, and we already know what your soul is like. I've seen it every day since even before this whole mess began" He said softly as he pet Eric's side "Your soul, and hence you, are a wonderful guy. You're funny, kind of a dork and have a bit of a dark side. But who doesn't?"

"Here let me show you something" Ash said, soberly lifting his shirt. He had been hiding something from Eric for about a day now, and Ash felt maybe showing him would help. Turning his back to Eric he tossed his shirt on the floor, revealing the length of his back. Between his spine and his shoulder blades were two massive tumors, one on each side of his spine. They were only a few inches long, but stretched from his shoulders to the waist of his shorts. They were stretched tight, like a pimple, and a dark purples color that looked (and was) extremely painful.

"We're both transforming Eric, into our souls true forms. But you seem to forget our souls are us, not some abstract thing taking control of our bodies. It is you. That's how I know regardless of physical color your soul has a brightness to it. It has a light I can see when our minds connect." Turning back to face him Ash gave him a big hug "I promised to accept you for who you are, regardless of this damn transformation."

Concern, care and.... love

'oh my god' he realized to himself 'I love him' tears streaked down his face as he realized this fact he had been fighting against

Eric felt Ash touch him and he shuddered. He did not want his only friend in this to touch or see him like this.

Don't worry about its color Eric. We are demons after all so black isn't a color that is too surprising, and we already know what your soul is like. I've seen it every day since even before this whole mess began. Don't worry about its color Eric.

After Ash said all this Eric sat up and looked at him with tears still still in his eyes. Eris saw what was on Ash's back and gasped at the sight. He then felt bad for doing all of this in front of him and listened to his final words with aww.

"I promised to accept you for who you are, regardless of this damn transformation."

Inspired, relieved, accepted, loved, bad for making a fuss

He rolled over and looked at Ash. The boy had to be strong, because it was his strength that got Eric through this entire situation and back. He needed to man up and be the protector that Ash was gonna needed one day. He had not said it yet but Eric had already started to fall for Ash and knew that there was something deeper between the two of them.

"Well if you really mean that then thank you, but I am a little upset that you did not tell me about this, we should support each other." He said with no emotion on his face. "Now turn around I need to put some more clothes on." He said with a blush (if it could be seen) and his eyes turning pink, with a smile.

He got up and pulled out some shorts and a tang top to put on. The tang top was red and the shorts are black. Eric now wondered how color would look against his skin if it stayed like this, he hated and cringed at the thought. He slipped them on and walked back into the room with his skin. He had a moment of relapse and picked up his skin and threw it into the fire and watched it burn.

"It not like I can put it back on right?" He said with a dark chuckle and smirk to anyone listening.

"It not like I can put it back on right?"

"I don't know, I might be able to find some craft glue" Ash laughed cheerfully, using his hand to fan away the smell of burning flesh. He picked his shirt off the ground and put it back on, wincing as it brushed against the tumors.

"I don't know what those tumors are but right now I envy chemo patients." He joked, with a surprisingly dark chuckle "but I digress. What would you care to do?" he said glancing at the clock, which showed it to be about seven at night

"I don't know, you know how do you come back from being inked out. What do you want to do?"

Eric was just tired, not physically but mentally of the whole situation. He did not want to have to deal with the last stage of his transformation. He just wanted this to be over and done with.

"I am tired and I think we needed some rest so how about it."

[Kenny1]

"Ya that sounds like a good plan" Ash said, his own fatigue kicking in.

Ash gave Eric a quick hug then, after striping to his boxers, climbed into his bed and fell deep into sleep.

Things at the hotel and become surprisingly normal. Not that its hard to get used to people taking care of your every need, but even still it already felt like a second home. They didn't even have to order meals anymore, the staff just brought up food at the traditional meal times.

Ash's transformation over the past week had become more noticeable, his eyes (one ice blue and one blood red) now very bright and his skin as white as snow. A few days ago he had found a large bony nub on the back of his skull, a sign he was in the final stage. While he had at first been excited about being almost done the literal headaches it had begun to give him were enough to obliterate any optimism he'd been having.

But by focusing on helping Eric he had been able to distract himself quite well, plus all the board games that had been brought up at his request.

Walking into the living room Ash was happy to see that breakfast had already been set on the coffee table. The silver tray was heavily loaded with pancakes, syrups, coffee, berries and enough bacon to give any human a heart attack. Ash knocked on Eric's bedroom door

"Eric breakfast time. If you don't hurry I'm going to eat all the bacon." He teased before taking his usual seat on the couch and picking up a plate of pancakes. He poured some red colored syrup on them and started eating ravenously.

[Brodie]

Eric
__________________________

Eric tossed and turned in his bed. He got up at the sound of Ash's voice and stretched, his skin was now a leather and needed to be taken care of one or it would dry out and start to crack. He had been given some cream and was putting it on right now, it smelt like coconuts and peaches and left his skin looking normal and smooth.

Eric found that his skin changed hues due to the time of day, if it was dark his skin was pitch black and his eyes and teeth stood out. But during the day his skin was more of a wolf gray. He sat up at the word "bacon" and after putting on his lotion he went outside and found Ash eating. He only had on pajama bottoms and sat in his spot across from Ash.

"I hope you did not eat all the bacon or I'll make some more out of you." He said with a jokingly smile and his stomach grumbling. Eric picked up a plate and put some pancakes on his with eggs and bacon. He then put ketchup on his eggs and syrup on his pancakes and bacon. "Now you know there are only two things I don't play with, my food and....well the last thing is for me." He said the last part with a blush.

"Now what is on our list today, want to go out side. If we can?" He said with a whisper.

"Now you know there are only two things I don't play with, my food and....well the last thing is for me."

Ash laughed in his new voice he had begun developing. Although it was similar to his old voice (high and with a musical tonality) it had dropped slightly lower and taken on a more rich and warm tone than before.

"I'm Quebecois Eric, nobody takes food more seriously than we do. We obsess to the point it borders on the erotic." He joked, taking a bite out of some bacon. He blushed slightly as he added "You really shouldn't ignore your needs though, if nothing else it relives stress."

"Now what is on our list today, want to go out side. If we can?"

"I don't think we can go outside. No offense but you are way to tall to pass as human, I mean you're what 15 feet?" He said regarding the beautiful form of the man across from him. Now that he had accepted his affection for Eric he was more flirtatious than before, and more willing to joke about sex. Even still though he had not openly said anything, hoping Eric would make the first move.

"I'll call Erica and see if she has any ideas" Ash said, picking up the phone. Within moments of the ringing starting the line had been picked up

"My name is Erica how can I be of service?" Said the perky vampire

"Yes Erica its Ash" He said

"How are you sir? I trust breakfast was to your satisfaction?"

"Yes ma'am." He replied "Is there anyway we can get some fresh air? We are kind of feeling claustrophobic from being enclosed so long"

"I'm afraid since you all are still transforming we really can't help you there. But there is a pool down the hall from where you are on the opposite end. It has three walls of one way glass so you can get some light and stretch. But I should warn you demons don't generally wear clothes except when they are around humans." She said with some amusement

"Oh... ok thanks" Ash said before he hung up

Turning to address Eric he said, while blushing cherry red "Um... we can't go outside... but there is a pool down the hall for demons.... but... apparently demons don't wear human clothes"

Ash blushed as he thought of Eric naked, he pushed his legs together to hide his physical reaction. Even though he knew Eric could tell across their mental connection.

Embarrassed, slightly turned on, embarrassed at the thought of being seen naked by strangers

Eric
________________________

Eric thought about going swimming and blushed at the feeling of Ash's arousal. He had noticed the slight changes in Ash's behavior, and liked them.

"Well swimming sounds good, only if you want too." Eric said with a blush.

The thought of seeing Ash naked turned him on and his eyes turned pink. He only hoped Ash did not notice what it meant.

Ash blushed, and pushed his long black hair back behind his ears. It had a soft curl to it, which looked beautiful but meant his hair was always tangled. "Well I am feeling somewhat claustrophobic from being in this suite for a week." He said tentatively, kind of hoping for the chance to see Eric.

"besides" he added "I would love to get in the water, it would take some stress off my bones and joints."

Ash flashed a grin hoping it looked convincing. Even though he knew Eric could read his mind he still sometimes tried to fake things, just out of habit.

Nervous, excited, pain from transformation, slightly turned on

[Brodie]

Horny, happy, excite, kid in a candy store

Eric smiled and jumped up. He went to his room and stripped out of everything and grabbed a white towel. He was excited and did not know how to contain it inside so he did not. He came back into the room with a smile on his face and faked chock to still see Ash siting there. \

"Well come on lazy, its not every day you get to go skinny dipping." He said with a playful grin.

Ash was very amused by his enthusiasm, and genuinely enjoyed it "If I didn't know better I'd say you wanted to see my balls" he said laughing

Going to his room Ash quickly took off his clothes and grabbed one of his towels, wrapping it around his trim waist. Using the bathroom mirror he grabbed a hair band and tied his locks back into a pony tail.

Coming out into the living room he couldn't help but notice that Eric was wearing a towel that was easily the size of a beach towel, yet on him it barely was covering his modesty. He blushed at the thought and ignored his now throbbing member, quietly hoping it would die down before they got there.

"Well I guess that we best get going. I hope it is not to busy yet." He said leading the way out the door. The walk down the hall took a while, since the hall ran the length of the mammoth building it was possibly a quarter mile long (or at least felt that way). Finally at the end were some glass doors labeled "Pool"

Going inside Ash was pleasantly surprised to see that the room was empty of people. It was just going to be them two. The room was about the size of a football field and was dominated by an Olympic swimming pool in the middle, and on three sides were glass walls overlooking the roads that circled the hotel. The floor was covered in a textured marble and the pool was similarly finished. There was a large lounge area on the far left and right sides made up of a raised platform with cushions.

Ash speculated it was because beach chairs were impractical when some guests could be 15 feet high.

"Well we're here" he said lamely, thankful his member had died down on the long walk

Excited, nervous, happy, horny
