"Yassen?" Alex pouted wanting to struggle. What did he think he was doing! Hell; he would have punched him had it not been for his useless body right now. But yet, he felt the uncertainty that Yassen held, after all, Yassen wasn`t a man based on Romance, but of domination. Knowing this sent peculiar shivers down Alex`s spine and his breathing hitched as he felt Yassen leaning his face into his hair. He felt the man breathe gently and although he felt this to be wrong.

Too fast - Too quick.

He couldn`t help but feel…

WAKE UP CALL

When morning came Alex`s eyes rose groggily as he fought against the rough pull of sleep. Immediately the light stung his eyes and he was forced to clench them closed as he brought up an arm to fend off the onslaught of light...anyone would think he had been drinking heavily. That was until his hand thumped against a very cold and very smooth object.

Trying for a glance Alex winced against the sunlight and found that he was actually occupying the same bed as the deadly assassin that was, quite ironically – supposed to be dead, somewhere 50 feet under but no, he really was laying in bed, right beside him, staring at him as if he was some raving Luna- wait staring?

"What's wrong Alex?"

Oh good the accent survived too

"Alex?" Alex jumped when he felt a cold hand cup his cheek

"God your freezing" Alex winced slightly but didn`t recoil. A smile tugged at Yassen`s lips but as usual the man stuck to riddles and body language that, being a teenage boy, was like reading another language...familiar but totally confusing.

"Mhm I'm guessing your back`s feeling better" he announced as he got up from the bed and slammed the curtains closed with enough for to rip them from their hooks.

Alex gulped, suddenly aware of what circumstances he was in

"Er...my back" he asked rather lamely, fighting the instinct to run for the door or at least something to defend himself with.

Yassen noticed Alex`s eyes flickering around the room and sighed, sitting down on the chair opposite the bed.

"What were you thinking?" Alex`s face scrunched his face up as he tried to remember why his back hurt without his imagination running away.

"Wait...what even happened?" Alex asked, his voice come out slightly more impatient then he meant for it too.

Yassen looked at him. Alex couldn`t help but stare back and noticed that his eyes were a vibrant ice blue today...if it was in fact the day

"You mean you forgot?" his deep voice broke the silence

"No...I mean theirs images" Alex winced "and I can remember voices but that's about it..." He sighed heavily again, fighting the feeling of fatigue that was crawling up his spine

"Look I better go" Alex hissed lightly as he got up a little too quickly for his injured body to take. Yassen was their pushing him down by shoulders

"No Alex...your too injured to walk let alone venture home..." the dead assassin opened his mouth as if to carry on but just turned away and began to walk for the door if Alex hadn`t of grabbed his sleeve

"Wait Yassen...tell me...what actually happened" Yassen`s shoulders slumped considerably as he tried to think of a way to tell Alex that he wouldn`t be going back to London...perhaps forever.

Growing impatient at the silence Alex roughly let go of the assassins sleeve then slowly sat up

"Look I have to go make sure Jack is o-"

"She`s fine...Alex I checked on everyone"

Alex looked surprised and little weary of this new Yassen who seemed to be stalking his friends

"Wait...what! why?" his eyes narrowed as he took in Yassen`s arrogant form, seemingly for the first time

"You aren`t going to-"

"Kill them. No but someone else might"

Alex`s eyes widened at the way Yassen so simply would condemn his friends but seemingly do nothing about it.

"If...your still here" Alex felt something click in the back of his mind and literally jumped up, if a little woozily

"You can`t take me away from here Yassen. This is my life, my friend my family –"

"Your foolish death if you stay here, which will be accompanied by others if you don`t simply Wake Up!" Now Alex was face to chest with the man, but he stared fearlessly up at him. Even if his back was searing with white hot pain and his mind protested for sleep he would appear weak in front of this...man.

"Just give in Alex...for now"

Alex shook his head vehemently

"I will never give in..." Alex felt a slight tug of De-Ja-vu but now wasn`t the time as Yassen`s eyes seemed to flicker dangerously.

"There are other ways of persuasion...I'll just have to pick the right one" Yassen leaned closer and Alex could feel his cool breath on his cracked lips as he fought to look at the others while thinking of a quick come back.

"You do that while I...will be doing the right thing" He sneered at the last bit, finally leaning away so he could think without his thoughts running away.

Alex pressed his hands against the assassin's chest in a bid to push him out the way with the element of surprise but found it was like push a wall...a wall of ice.

"Yassen why are you so...cold?"

Yassen just watched him as Alex began to grow in annoyance rather than patience.

"If your ill then you should see a doc-"Yassen had moved forwards and had his left wrist in a stern grip

"it`s too late for me to go to a doctor"

Alex snorted, for the moment forgetting that his wrist was being held

"I didn`t mean y-"

"But it`s true Alex...I no longer have a heart beat" Alex looked at him questioningly but Yassen had already placed his hand atop where his heart should have been and he blinked

He was right...there was no pulse...no beat

"How are you still standing?" Alex stammered as more of a statement than anything else.

The assassin managed a small chuckle at this but didn`t take Alex`s hand away, instead moving both his arms so they fit around Alex`s lower back, leaning forwards he whispered into his ear

"I don't sleep nor do I eat in humans terms...so Alex rider...what could I be?" Alex felt a flush steal up his cheeks at their intimacy but his brows furrowed as he tried to figure out the riddle-if it was one.

Alex snorted, seeing as he had played tons of games like Left for dead and watched the films he felt confident for this answer

"Zombie?"

Yassen shook his head.

"For a spy you really are slow" he muttered lowly while cornering Alex between himself and the wall

Alex felt his eyes flicking around as he tried to figure out what the man was going on about. And then he flinched as an idea occurred to him

Rolling his eyes he asked "Vampire?" and before Yassen could answer he sighed

"Yassen, I may have a body of a 14 year old but I'm certainly not going to fall for that" But his voice had begun to waver as he noticed Yassen`s eyes flash brightly. Alex had flicked through the twilight series but it bored him...except for the Jacob parts- they seemed pretty fun but now he wished he had.

"I mean...come on that`s just a-"

"Myth" Alex ground his teeth as the man finished his sentence again

"But what if this myth was true..."

Alex fidgeted slightly under the look that Yassen was sending him

"If...if it was true I would think I should stop drinking so much and recommend a physiatrist"

Yassen chuckled lightly

"Really? So you wouldn`t be afraid" Alex felt his back straighten as he looked up the man

"No...Why would I"

Alex felt his breath hitch as Yassen let his hands trace from his waist to his hips as he leaned into his neck. For a second all he could feel was Yassen`s cool breath tickling his sensitive neck but then he lifted his head and whispered coldly into the boys ear.

"I`ll show you then"

And before he could take a breath the world was blur as Yassen lifted him easily onto his back

...and they were gone...

Disclaimer:

Was it bad to leave it there? I don't know if you`ve noticed but I'm changing the story slightly. I felt it held none of the true qualities of Alex and Yassen that we all love.

I hope you like the new improvement
