Notes: Co-written with Decepti-Kitty. This fanfic was originally a RP that we were doing by PM. Turning it into a fanfic was always our intention. Constructive criticism welcomed. I'm sorry about the mess-up that happened to this chapter. It happened solely because I took a lazy method when transferring the RP to the Word Document. So yeah… That's why I shouldn't be lazy. XD

Chapter 3:

Clockwork gave Dan a sweet smile then turned to the Observants, anger finding it's way into the grin. "You have no manners. I said I didn't free him. He so graciously did it himself. And my reasons for not putting him back are my own." He grabbed a cloak and draped it over himself, turning to face the Observants.

"I am the Master of Time. That has not changed. Are you saying you don't trust me? What are you going to do? Put me on trial? Good luck finding a replacement."

Dan smiled, cheering for and applauding Clockwork in his mind. Certainly not what he expected. Wasn't the ultimate enemy, Public Enemy No. 1, and the deadliest danger ever faced by humanity? If so, why was Clockwork on his side? Wasn't the Time Keeper charged to keep the world safe, never interfering (though Dan knew how much Clockwork broke that rule. No wonder his true form was a teenager!)? All his mental gushing culminated in a kiss, which he gave to Clockwork, of course. The Observants didn't deserve to be kissed, and probably didn't ever partake in that activity.

The Time Keeper wrapped his arms around Dan's neck. "I suggest you two leave now, or risk incurring my Master's wrath. To be quite honest, I think I'd enjoy watching that, so feel free to stick around."

Dan smiled. "My wrath has already been incurred. Do you want to know how much being hit with a Ghostly Wail hurts?" He paused, grinning when he saw the Observants shivering with fear. "I think not!"

Clockwork laughed. "It seems I now have a reason to get you Observants to leave me alone." His face grew serious. "Just because this situation has risen doesn't mean I will ignore my job."

"So, we won't get to shag all the time?" Dan groaned. "What am I supposed to do? I can't do you if you're working, can I?"

Clockwork blinked. "No. We can't shag all the time. I was hoping that would be understood. But, I'll help you find some way of keeping yourself entertained."

"Oh, of course," mumbled Dan. "Okay. Does this place have video games, food, a television or anything else like that?"

"Hmm..." Clockwork put a finger to his lips in thought. "Food is attainable, but I don't have any at the moment. Closest thing I have to TV is watching what happens to others. As for video games... Actually, yes. I do have a few."

Dan gaped at Clockwork. "Great, though I never knew that you played video games." He paused. "There's a lot we don't know about each other, isn't there? Oh sure, we know each other's cock sizes, but that's only the tip of the iceberg." He kissed Clockwork. "I suppose spending most of my life fighting you isn't conductive to knowing you."

Clockwork's eyes softened. "I suppose not. But, I know you. After all, I know everything. Though that's not the case concerning you anymore." He smiled. "I still have a scar from fighting you... Oh, if you'd like, we could spar sometime."

Dan groaned, recalling all the embarrassing, and sometimes what some would call evil things he'd done. "Sure," replied Dan, grinning. "I bet I'll always win."

"I have beaten you before, Dan. I let you win the rest of the time. You and I both know that I'm stronger." Clockwork smirked.

"So, you think," replied Dan coyly. He kissed Clockwork.

"Think? I am stronger." Clockwork crossed his arms and pouted.

"Yeah?" questioned Dan. "I'm the one with muscles - and a Ghostly Wail! I'm the one that wrecked havoc for years." He kissed the Time Keeper again, winking to show that it was in good fun.

Clockwork punched Dan's arm playfully. "Well, you certainly have become much more pleasant to be around, which is a nice change. Is there anything you want to do now?"

"Where are those games you've got?"

"Back room. All I have is some Mario game and I'm pretty sure I have an RPG..." Clockwork replied, walking towards the back of his lair.

"Cool!" replied Dan, wondering if the game was from the future, the present or the far away past. "What type of console do you have?"

"I don't know game systems. You tell me." He pointed to a system sitting happily on a table. It had obviously been in use before. Clockwork shrugged. "I need to keep myself entertained when I'm a child. I really like the Mario game."

"That's obviously a Wii," Dan replied, flexing his muscles as he picked up the nunchuck and Wii remote.

"Well, you entertain yourself. I'll be back soon." Clockwork smiled and went back to work.

Dan put the Mario disk into the slot, and smiled when he saw the Wii home screen. He navigated up to the window showing the game, and clicked it. The game expanded before him. He grinned.

Clockwork was lounging in his chair, hanging his head upside down, and watching the time stream whisk by. He had forgotten that he had a few strawberries and popped one in his mouth. "I hate this job..." The longer he was in his true form, the more teen-like he became. He always liked being a teenager.

"Where'd you get those strawberries?" inquired Dan, distracted from his game. "You said there was no food here."

"Well, you and I are ghosts, so we don't need to eat. I forgot about these anyway." He shrugged. "I am not dishonest."

"Oh really?" asked Dan, amused.

"Well, I'm not a dishonest adult. But, I am a teenager. We tend to be a dishonest lot." Clockwork smiled at Dan and stood up, walking over to him. "Here." He held up a strawberry.

Dan laughed. "I see I'm rubbing off on you!" He used his mouth to grab the strawberry that Clockwork held, and swallowed the strawberry whole, letting it rest on his tongue for a while.

"Oh, shut up. I've always been a devious little bastard. You should know that..." Clockwork purred and kissed Dan.

Dan deepened the kiss, hoping that Clockwork would neglect his duties entirely. When the kiss finished, he replied, "Yeah. How about you manipulate yourself out of your duties? Or shall I?"

Clockwork smiled. "I still have to do my job, but so far, everything is in order. Nothing's wrong. Why? You want to play again?"

"Yeah," replied Dan seductively, grinning at Clockwork. "I want to play with you, Clocky!"

"Will you please stop calling me that? It's kind of a turn off..." Clockwork pouted.

"Okay," replied Dan. "But only because it's a turn off." He winked.

Clockwork smirked. "Okay then. Glad we have an understanding..." He nipped at Dan's neck.

Dan moaned, as he ran his claws all over Clockwork's clothes, destroying them. He maneuvered Clockwork over to a more comfortable spot, and began to push himself into Clockwork.

Clockwork flinched, his body sore from the previous acts the two were engaged in. He ignored the pain as best he could. He was irritated that he was now running out of clothes. Clockwork pressed his forehead against Dan's and kissed him.

Dan moaned, deepening the kiss. He wondered why Clockwork looked so pissed off, before dismissing it as not being his concern. However, when he saw the bruises, cuts and sore areas that Clockwork had gained in their last sessions, he supposed that it was his concern. Maybe, he'd be gentler this time. Maybe... He slapped himself on the forehead, wondering how he'd begun to care so suddenly and hoping he'd stop soon.

Clockwork pulled away, confused at why Dan hit himself. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Dan groaned. "That, my dear, is called a facepalm. It's all the rage with teenagers these days. I take it that you're not a modern teen."

"Dan, I was a teenager when the dinosaurs were young." Clockwork raised an amused eyebrow. "'My dear'? Aw, is that a pet name?" He chuckled.

"Yeah," replied Dan, smirking. " 'Cause you're a pet, an amusing pet." He kissed Clockwork. "And come on, you can't possibly be that old!"

"I've been around since most of creation. Yes, I am that old. Or does the concept of 'Master of all Time and Space' still elude you?" Clockwork smirked playfully.

"Well," replied Dan. "You look great for your age ... ages. Whatever! And if you existed for most of creation, you'd be a teenager before the first dinosaur egg ever was laid." He rubbed Clockwork's chest, admiring the ghost's smooth skin, kissing the Time Keeper every second.

Clockwork blushed. "Umm... You're being gentle... I don't like you gentle. Or are you being nice since you obviously bruised me?" He smiled, showing that he wasn't angry.

"Kinky, are you?" asked Dan. He bitterly continued, "Or do you want me to hurt you 'cause you blame yourself for my existence? Or is it a bit of both?" He paused, wishing he'd been less open about how he felt. "I could do that. Easily." He smirked.

"Yes, I do have a bit of kink in me, I suppose." Clockwork mirrored Dan's smirk. "I don't blame myself for your existence. I wanted you to exist. Why do you think I kept the Observants from destroying you? No, I blame myself for hurting you, so I'm willing to let you do whatever you want to me because I know I deserve it for hurting you."

Dan smiled, shocked and gladdened by Clockwork's words. "You wanted an ultra-powerful ghost to wreck havoc for twenty - or twelve - years? You must really hate the Observants. You can't be serious - or sane! No one wants me to exist, not anymore." He raked his claws over Clockwork's chest, expressing the anger, bitterness and disbelief he felt - just like Clockwork wanted him to, he supposed. "I don't believe you!" A Ghostly Moan consumed the last words, which is what happens when one attempts a Ghostly Wail and moans at the same time.

Clockwork merely smiled. "I don't expect you to believe me, Dan. But, it's true. I'm telling you the truth and you know it." He wrapped his arms around Dan's neck and just hugged him. "If you want to believe I'm lying, fine. But, I have hurt you before and refuse to do so again."

Dan groaned, "Let's get back to the sex, already!" He thrust into Clockwork, unsure of how much force to use, and still also unsure of the Time Keeper's honesty.

Clockwork gasped at the aggression and tightened his grip around Dan's shoulders. "Why are you so upset?"

"I'm not upset," lied Dan. "I just want to get back to the fucking sex, already!"

Clockwork shoved Dan and pinned the other ghost to the bed. "Don't lie to me. What's wrong now? Is it really so hard to accept that I'm NOT lying to you?"

"Yeah," replied Dan, smirking to himself about the irony of Clockwork being rough with him. "And I really want to get back to the sex!"

"Not until you believe me. Dan, the only time I ever lied was when I said I hated being around you. Aside from that, have I lied? I hold back information, I don't lie." Clockwork was angry with himself. He didn't mean to upset Dan. "Sorry, it's just... Nevermind. Answer this, though; why do you think you still exist?"

"Wanna blackmail me? Fine," replied Dan, forcing Clockwork into a kiss. "You know, I could just take what I want by force." He growled. "I exist because the Nasty Burger killed my family and friends twenty years ago. I still exist because no ghost can stand against me - other than my weaker, younger self, but he's me, sorta." He paused. "The weaker me."

"Wrong. Well, sort of. That's HOW you came to exist. Not why." Clockwork replied, laying his head on Dan's chest. "You exist because I wanted a companion to clash with my personality. You are the only one to come close. It's almost as if you are MY other half. I know it sounds selfish... But, did you happen to notice that I only allowed Danny to DEFEAT you? I have never tried to destroy you. I even prevented your disappearance. If my feelings and words were lies, do you honestly believe I would go to all of that trouble?"

Dan forgot everything he planned to say, and just stared at Clockwork. Then, he just said, "Really?" in a bitter tone, with a tinge of surprise and hope.

"Yes, really." Clockwork kissed Dan lovingly to prove his point. "Are you still angry with me? I wouldn't blame you..."

"If you let me continue with the shag, I won't be," replied Dan, in a coquettish tone.

Clockwork sat up and smirked at Dan playfully. "Okay, fine. I guess I've screwed with your psyche enough. I'm kidding. I meant every word. Well... Let's continue, then."

Dan ran his hands over Clockwork's already exposed skin, licking at the blood that came out. Then, he kissed Clockwork, the taste of the ghost's ectoplasmic blood still in his mouth.

Clockwork moaned into the kiss, trailing his hands over Dan's shoulders. He arched his back slightly; his skin was still sensitive.

Dan smiled, glad that Clockwork had stopped telling him what to do or criticizing his actions. His tip then entered Clockwork, slowly at first, but going a bit faster every few seconds. He moaned, skimming Clockwork's chest with his fingers, occasionally drawing blood.

Clockwork gently bit Dan's neck, gripping the other ghost's fiery hair. He wanted to continue talking with Dan, but he imagined talking was the last thing on his companion's mind.

Dan moaned, from both the pleasure and the pain Clockwork caused. He raked his claws against Clockwork's chest, causing blood to spurt out.

Clockwork kissed Dan heatedly, wanting even more.

Dan gave Clockwork what he asked for, kissing and licking at the Time Keeper's back. He played with Clockwork's length, smirking as if to ask: is this what you want?

Clockwork purred, digging his nails into Dan's back in response.

Dan licked at the Time Keeper in every place he could reach, fiddling with both Clockwork's length and his hair. He kissed Clockwork, enjoying the vibrations of the ghost's purring.

The Master of Time kissed Dan's neck, tracing the dangerous ghost's muscles slowly. "They don't understand... They never did..." He murmured to no one in particular. He was thinking about what the Observants wanted to do to Dan. They didn't understand that Clockwork had something better for him in mind. He was silently hoping Dan would ignore what the Time Keeper had said, as he usually did.

Luckily for him, sex was enough to occupy Dan's attention and even if he had heard, he probably would agree. He moaned, skimming his fingers over the Master of Time's chest and back, knowing that for now at least, he was the master of the Master of Time.

Clockwork kissed Dan and, with some difficulty, pushed all other thoughts from his mind. To much thinking leads to too much worrying, which wasn't something Clockwork enjoyed. He laced his fingers in Dan's hair, tugging gently.

Dan intensified the kiss, delving deeper into Clockwork's mouth, his tongue entwining with the Time Keeper's. The kiss consumed his moans, smothering them, leaving him glad that ghosts lack the need to breathe.

Clockwork arched against Dan's body. He knew this had to end eventually. That didn't mean now; or soon, for that matter. Clockwork pulled away from the kiss and slightly tightening his grip on Dan's hair, purring softly.

Dan smiled, admiring the perfect arch that Clockwork formed when pleasured intensely, enjoying that he probably was the only one to ever see it. He moaned, the sound entwining with Clockwork's purring, making a primal melody, one no musician of any caliber ever produced.

Clockwork bit Dan's neck, leaving a love mark. He kissed Dan, an almost feral hunger consuming his common sense. Damn teenage hormones.

Dan moaned from both the pain and pleasure the bite produced, glad that Clockwork marked him as his, yet angry at the Master of the Time for being the first one to stake the claim. He bit Clockwork back, producing an identical love mark on his neck, and returned to the kiss.

Clockwork winced slightly at the amount of pressure Dan had used. He didn't mind though. He returned the kiss softly.

Dan just continued kissing the Time Keeper, knowing that if he hadn't protested before, his actions were perfectly fine. He moved his fingers over Clockwork's skin, marveling at his lover's reactions.

Clockwork wondered again how long this would last. He was close, that much was obvious. Clockwork took one of Dan's hands and held it. The Time Keeper had always loved Dan's hands. He smiled contentedly.

Dan intensified the kiss, feeling slightly pleased by the handholding.

What pleased Clockwork the most about everything that was happening was how... Perfect it seemed. Clockwork had wanted Dan to exist because he was lonely. But, it never occurred to him that things would be this way.

Dan moaned, drugged with lust and loving it. Clockwork didn't care about the shagging as much as he did, but he did allow Dan to enjoy him, which he liked.

Clockwork trailed his fingers lightly down Dan's back, biting and licking his neck as he did so.

Dan growled, the sensation making him jitter, shiver and want more. The effects of Clockwork's movements amazed him, making him smile.

Clockwork continued his actions and kissed Dan.

He deepened the kiss, as his length dived deeper into Clockwork.

Clockwork moaned, pulling Dan closer. He wrapped his arms tightly around his lover's shoulders for support.

Dan accepted Clockwork's embrace, feeling as though he was part of the other ghost - not a feeling he'd felt much since losing his old life, and one he wanted more of.

Clockwork nuzzled Dan affectionately, the way a cat would to its owner.

Dan yowled, now at his peak and about to fall down in a burst of forceful pleasure. He smiled at Clockwork's affection, regretting that it would probably be done soon - at least until their next union.

Clockwork curled up beside Dan, enjoying the warmth from the other ghost's body.

Dan smiled, reassured. Having a partner that cared more about the love than the lust actually sorta was a good thing.

Clockwork smiled. "You have way too much energy..." He kissed Dan gently.

Dan smirked. "And it comes in handy for shagging you."

"Oh, ha ha." Clockwork lightly punched Dan's arm. "Well, you successfully wiped my energy..."

Dan winced, preferring dealing out pain to receiving it. "Did I?" he teased, skimming his claws over Clockwork's skin.

It was Clockwork's turn to flinch. "Take it easy, will you? I have enough scars..."

"Fine," mumbled Dan. "But I thought you liked this kinky stuff." He paused. "I do."

"I do like it. But, that's not the point, Dan," Clockwork smiled. "Point is, even if one likes something like that, a break is needed."

Dan groaned, disappointed. "Fine." He kissed the Time Keeper, hoping that would keep his mind off the argument.

Clockwork kissed him. "I'm not mad. Just give me a chance to recover and you can do it again. Deal?"

"Sure," replied Dan, fondling Clockwork carefully this time.

Clockwork moaned softly. "Are you still energetic?"

"Yeah," replied Dan, smiling at his mate.

"Unsatiable beast..." Clockwork purred playfully. He played with Dan's hair tiredly. "Give me at least a few minutes to rest?"

Dan growled a furious, "Fine," and relaxed on the bed, in Clockwork's arms.

"You're so easily angered..." Clockwork sighed. He nuzzled Dan.

Dan kissed Clockwork, accepting his affection.

Clockwork kissed back softly.

Dan moaned, retracting his claws and just skimming his fingers over Clockwork's chest.

Clockwork purred contentedly. "Um, Dan? Don't you think the collar is a bit unneeded now? I mean: it's obvious I won't fight you."

"I suppose," replied Dan, licking Clockwork. "But, knowing you're under my control feels..." Dan purred. "Good."

Clockwork frowned, and then shook his head, laughing. "Fine." He nipped at Dan's neck playfully.

Dan moaned, wincing slightly but not caring, since the pleasure far outweighed the pain. He licked at Clockwork's chest, enjoying the reactions he provoked.

The Time Keeper purred lovingly, wrapping his arms tightly around Dan.

Dan enveloped Clockwork's lips in a kiss, moaning from the pleasure of the Master of Time's hold.

Clockwork kissed back, enjoying how perfectly he and Dan suited one another.

Dan's eyes glistened with mischief, as he twined his tongue with Clockwork's.

Clockwork chose to ignore the mischievous look in Dan's eyes and simply waited for Dan to act upon whatever urges he had in mind.

Dan inserted himself into Clockwork, his gaze now fixed on the Time Keeper's eyes and the other ghost's collar. He smirked. "Mind if I make use of that collar? Note: make use does not mean wear."

Clockwork shivered. "Why not... Sure... You can, Master..." He purred, nuzzling Dan's neck.

Dan smirked. He removed himself from Clockwork's body and froze his member briefly, melting the ice with a bolt of ecto-energy. "Attend to my cock. Yes, it's clean - or it should be." He paused. "And when you're done, get a strawberry and hold it your mouth." Dan hoped his second order actually sounded like a reasonable kink until he remembered Rule 34 of the Internet (If it exists, if you can think of it, someone on the Internet has a fetish for it). He smirked.

Clockwork blushed darkly. "Yes, Master..." He crawled to his knees before Dan and took the other ghost's member into his mouth.

Dan grinned, thrilled by the feelings caused by Clockwork, smug about being obeyed, and adoring the Master of Time's blush.

Clockwork slowly licked Dan's member, actually enjoying the act he was currently engaged in. He had been unwilling before, sure, but only because he was nervous.

Dan moaned, dragging his hands across the Time Keeper's beautifully laid out back.

Clockwork moaned around Dan, loving the feel of Dan in his mouth.

Guttural sounds spurted out of Dan's mouth, occasionally broken by speech, though incoherent speech. Some of it was about his past, some about Clockwork; some about what he wanted from Clockwork and some was about the death and destruction he caused before. He decided that he liked his mouth better when the connection to his brain worked, but liked his cock better when it was in someone.

Clockwork pulled away and blinked up at Dan. "Are you okay? Am I doing something wrong?"

Dan groaned. "I'm fine, Clockwork." He paused. "And you were doing everything right. That's what those sounds meant." He groaned. "I have to have been the first to engage in intercourse with you, dude." He paused, smirking. "Am I right?"

Clockwork blushed, but he didn't look away. He just smiled. A true smile that was borderline angelic. "Yes. You are. There. Now you have something else to brag about, huh?" He kissed Dan quickly. "So, should I continue?"

Dan blushed. "Yeah, I suppose I am. And, you, uh, should continue!"

"Oh? What's this? Is the all-powerful Dan Phantom blushing?" Clockwork chuckled, nuzzling Dan's muscular stomach.

"Yeah," replied Dan, blushing because of his embarrassment about blushing. He smirked. "Uh, Clockwork, please continue attending to my cock."

Clockwork smiled and resumed his task of pleasuring his lover.

Dan moaned, kissing Clockwork's neck.

Clockwork shivered, his neck was his main hot spot. He licked Dan's member lightly.

A moan passed out of Dan's mouth.

Clockwork continued at an agonizingly slow pace.

Dan licked Clockwork's neck, his tongue tracing the other ghost's spine. He moaned, getting some satisfaction from the slow speed at which the other ghost consumed him.

Clockwork purred heavily, his throat vibrating from the sound.

Dan felt a pressure in his length due to the pleasure provided by Clockwork's purr-and-suck motions.

Clockwork took Dan fully into his mouth, sucking hard.

"Awesome," moaned Dan. "Yeah, Clockwork."

Clockwork now had to question why he had denied Dan in the first place. The Time Keeper had always wanted this. He moaned blissfully, enjoying the small bit of praise he was receiving.

Dan laid back, letting himself luxuriate in the beautiful feeling.

Clockwork's face flushed with effort as he continued pleasuring his master.

Dan moaned, smiling at Clockwork.

Clockwork pulled away and looked up at Dan. "Why exactly did you want me to get a strawberry?"

"'Cause you were eating them earlier," he replied casually, smiling at Clockwork.

"Oh. Well, I guess I should get them, huh?" Clockwork stood and went to retrieve the strawberries. He returned a few moments later. "Now what?"

Dan's mouth enclosed the strawberry, as his fangs bit off a piece of it. "This.."

Clockwork sat in front of Dan. He tilted his head to the side. "I don't think I follow you..."

"You hold it in your mouth and I bite half of it out of your mouth as I kiss you," replied Dan in an irritated tone. "Got it?"

Clockwork blushed and nodded. He picked up a strawberry and put it in his mouth.

Dan smirked, and broke off half of the strawberry, his lips touching Clockwork's and his tongue roaming the other ghost's mouth.

Clockwork moaned into the kiss, engaging Dan's tongue in a dance.

Dan moaned back, accidentally consuming Clockwork's half of the strawberry.

Clockwork pulled away and laughed lightly. "You're so strange..."

"Well, ten years without anyone, as well as being half-Danny, half-Vlad would drive anyone insane," Dan replied bitterly, kissing Clockwork.

Clockwork smiled. "I didn't say you were insane. I was simply stating the obvious fact that you are weird. But, I like weird." He kissed Dan in return.

Dan smiled, returning the kiss.

"This has been fun..." Clockwork grinned. "Now what do we do?"

"How about we continue?"

Clockwork smirked, tracing his fingers along Dan's muscles. "Sure... Why not?"

Dan moaned, kissing Clockwork.

Clockwork purred softly, returning the kiss.

Dan almost smiled, but didn't, since his mouth was pleasantly occupied with the kiss.

Clockwork wrapped his arms around Dan's neck, pulling him closer.

Dan let out a moan, then continued with the kiss.

Clockwork deepened the kiss, running his hands down Dan's back.

Dan twitched, moaning as he kissed Clockwork.

Clockwork pulled away. "You okay?"

"That was an expression of pleasure, Clockwork," Dan replied, sarcasm and a hint of scorn obvious in his voice. "Apparently, pain and sexual pleasure cause similar reactions." He sighed. "I take it that you haven't watched anyone get laid on that magic mirror thingy-majiggy of yours."

Clockwork blushed defensively. "NO! I'm not a pervert!"

Dan smirked. "I wasn't saying that you were a pervert. In fact, I'd watch that, so I suppose I'm a pervert." He paused, and continued seductively. "You are one, and I like it. No need to deny your urges with me, Clockwork." Then he paused again, before saying, "It's odd that you think it's a bad thing when I know that you currently are enjoying the kinky sex of your dreams."

Clockwork frowned. "I guess that's true..." He nipped playfully at Dan's neck.

Dan moaned, smiling. "Of course it is."

"How dare you prove the all-powerful Clockwork wrong!" He said dramatically.

Dan smirked. "Easily..."

"Jerk." Clockwork pouted.

Dan smiled, kissing Clockwork. "It's what I do."

Clockwork stuck his tongue out at Dan childishly. "Thanks for bruising my ego."

"I can heal it," replied Dan, smiling at Clockwork.

"Then, heal it, tough guy..." Clockwork gave his lover a seductive stare.

Dan penetrated Clockwork, moaning the Master of Time's name. He kissed him, hooking his tongue into Clockwork's teasing one.

Clockwork moaned and tugged lightly on Dan's hair. "Dan..."

"Yes," replied Dan, smiling.

"I love you..." Clockwork purred softly, nuzzling Dan.

Dan grinned. "I love myself too." He paused. "You, I, at least, lust for."

Clockwork smiled. "You smug jerk. I have half a mind to get another thermos and put you back in it." He growled playfully.

Dan frowned. "You want to do that? Am I that bad?"

"Sarcasm really shouldn't be a foreign language to you, Dan. You speak it so fluently..." Clockwork raised an eyebrow at Dan.

"Thank you," replied Dan, bowing.

Clockwork stared blankly at Dan before punching his arm lightly. "You are such an ass..."

Dan smiled. "You're the ass. I'm the cock." He paused. "That is, if you don't feel like changing it up."

"If there's one thing i know for sure, it's that I'm most certainly not a 'Top'..." Clockwork laid his head on a soft pillow. "Why? Do you want to play the role-reverse game?"

Dan smirked. "Nah, I just wanted to perv up your insult."

Clockwork frowned. "Should I start ignoring you again, dear amore?"

"Nope," replied Dan, licking Clockwork's chest.

Clockwork sighed. "You certainly like sex, don't you?"

"Duh," replied Dan, smiling. "Only an Observant wouldn't."

"And you like dissing the Observants. At least that's one thing we have in common," Clockwork smiled.

"Yeah," replied Dan, kissing Clockwork.

Clockwork kissed back. "I wonder what else we have in common... Doing this activity all the time really wouldn't help in figuring out what we do have in common."

"Well," replied Dan, smiling. "We both like doing this activity." He paused. "And surely, Clockwork, with all your watching, you must know some of my interests."

Clockwork crossed his arms. "Humor me."

Dan groaned. "Uh, video games, playing with my friends, sports, destroying or saving the world, sex, you, sex, my birthday, sex, going on vacation, sex..."

"Friends?" Clockwork raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Why, Dan! Is that nostalgia I'm sensing?"

Dan blushed, wincing. "Maybe." He paused. "But, nostalgia is not something I'm going to admit to feeling."

"Oh, so denial is better?" Clockwork replied teasingly.

Dan blushed, partly from how silly Clockwork made him feel, and partly from the feeling he always got when Clockwork flirted with him. "Uh, maybe."

Clockwork smirked in a flirty manner. "What's wrong, Danny-boy?"

"Danny-boy?" Dan groaned. "I don't call myself Danny anymore, and doesn't 'Danny-boy' come from some song?"

"It does. Would you rather I call you Daniel? Or perhaps Phantom?"

"I call myself Dan," said Dan. "Though Daniel and Phantom sound like great choices to moan out during intercourse. I'm also slightly Vlad..."

"Well, I have always been partial to the name Vladimir..." Clockwork grinned. "Which would you like me to call you, Master?"

"Yes, that," replied Dan, smirking wickedly.

Clockwork draped his arms around Dan's shoulder and leaned close to his ear. "Very well, Master..." He purred silkily.

Dan grinned, kissing Clockwork, as he flipped him over, and inserted himself again.

Clockwork moaned at the sudden movement, enjoying it all the more.

Dan responded with the same noise, smiling at his lover.

Clockwork purred, arching against Dan.

Dan licked at Clockwork's arched back, his Vlad-side comparing to various other arches and declaring it better than them all. After all, the other arches didn't engage in intercourse with one.

Clockwork had noted long ago that he was very catlike. If he had to choose which animal Dan was most like, he'd cast his vote for a wolf or a shark.

Dan wondered what Clockwork was thinking about, and hoped it was pervy prayers for more.

If Clockwork had been a mind reader, Dan would have been half-right.

Dan licked at Clockwork, as his other part entered the Time Keeper.

Clockwork clutched the sheets tightly, moaning softly. He was still partly in pain due to lack of recovery, but he wasn't one to complain.

Dan heard a note of pain in Clockwork's moan, though since Clockwork's facial expression indicated more bliss than pain, he refused to do as Clockwork frequently did and ask what was wrong. It made him feel slightly heartless, though he couldn't worry over every single painful thing in Clockwork's life (the fact that it was longer than most was no help either).

Clockwork twitched slightly. It still hurt, but it really didn't matter. For whatever pain was there, pleasure happily replaced.

Dan smiled, glad to know that Clockwork continued to be blissful, despite his refusal to ask if something was wrong. He licked at Clockwork, wondering why such an entity would overreact every time the deadly ghost was in pain or upset, yet show such a lack of concern over his own.

Clockwork ignored the pain, completely placing himself in the pleasure Dan was causing.

Dan moaned, marveling at Clockwork once again.

Clockwork sighed happily. Granted, he wanted his relationship with Dan to be more than sex, but what else could he do?

Dan smiled, continuing to pound into Clockwork.

Clockwork moaned again, tightening his grip on the sheets.

Dan licked at Clockwork, pleased by the expressions of pleasure.

The Time Keeper purred happily, enjoying every sensation.

Dan entered the Master of Time, gleeful about having mastery over him.

Clockwork was completely exhausted. Even ghosts wear out eventually. Not even Clockwork was without limits. Dan, however, seemed to not know that. Clockwork really could care less. Pushing his own limits was one of the most attractive things about Dan.

Dan saw the physical signs of Clockwork's exhaustion, which worried him, though Clockwork seemed completely okay with pushing on ahead.

Clockwork noticed a hesitant air about Dan. He arched against his lover, enticing him, trying to let him know he was fine.

Dan licked at Clockwork, feeling tempted yet sorta unsure. He finally gave into his urge, sinking softly into the Time Keeper.

"Don't worry, if you are," Clockwork said softly. "I'll be fine. You of all people should know I'm resilient."

"Yeah," Dan replied huskily, smirking.

"Are you worried? Or are you going to deny it?" Clockwork chuckled good-naturedly.

"Gonna deny it," replied Dan in his most flirty tone. "Like always."

"Well, the fact that you denied it means that you are worried." Clockwork enjoyed debates with Dan, simply because he put up a decent argument.

"True," Dan replied smoothly. "Denying just preserves my pride."

Clockwork smiled. "Indeed, that tasty 'better-than-everyone-else' pride..."

Dan smiled. "Yes. Tasty, yes. You like?" He kissed Clockwork.

Clockwork kissed back. "Mmm... That I do..." He purred.

"Good," Dan growled back.

"You really are a demon, aren't you?" Clockwork smirked.

"In some senses of the word," he replied smoothly.

"Which senses?" Clockwork asked curiously. He had always just assumed that Dan was a demon. No question about in what manner was he a demon.

"The metaphorical ones," Dan replied, kissing Clockwork as he entered the ghost.

"And some, literally." Clockwork pointed out, returning the kiss.

"Literally?" asked Dan, faking an offended tone. "I am a ghost, not a demon."

"You act like one, that's all." Clockwork replied.

"That's still metaphorically," Dan replied in a tone resembling Spock's normal one.

Clockwork facepalmed. "You are not a Spock. More of a Kirk: headstrong, reckless, horndog... Should I go on?" Clockwork laughed.

"Yeah," replied Dan. "Technus is a Spock." He paused. "Would you like to taste my horndog?"

"I thought I already did..." Clockwork wondered briefly. "Wait... Who am I then?"

"There's nothing wrong with doing it again," Dan replied in a seductive tone. "You're a Picard."

Clockwork gave Dan a confused look, but shrugged. "Maybe later."

"Picard is a captain from Star Trek: The Next Generation," Dan replied, groaning. "You have forever to watch and do awesome stuff."

"You mean Patrick Stewart's character? He's a good actor." Clockwork chuckled. "Did I disappoint you?"

Dan smiled. "Do you prefer to call him Jean-Luc?" He paused, pondering Clockwork's second question. "Sometimes."

"I liked him as Professor X in X-Men. He's very much like myself in that particular role." Clockwork sighed. "How so? I'd like to know so I can fix it."

"Uh, by not remembering who the heck Picard is; by assuming that my moans are distress cries," Dan said in a flirty tone. "By having a job that distracts you from intercourse; by being cheesy at random times; by putting off care to my horndog..." He kissed the Time Keeper. "But, you're cool, anyway."

Clockwork laughed. "So, I'm lame but at the same time I'm cool?"

"Yeah," Dan replied. "Lame, sometimes, yet cool overall." He paused. "I have no idea as to how that works."

"And you are an ill-tempered, destructive devil. But, that's why I like you." Clockwork smiled.

Dan smiled. "Which part of it do you like?"

"All of it." Clockwork kissed Dan. "But the thing that's most attractive about you is how different you are from me."

Dan smiled. "Really, huh?" He paused. "But just as kinky."

"Yeah, there's that. I honestly have no idea why I'm so kinky... I mean, I've never had a sexual or romantic partner. I guess it just sort of happened..." Clockwork mused.

Dan grinned. "Don't worry. I like it."

"I aim to please." Clockwork chuckled. "You know, I've been thinking about taking on an apprentice so I can actually take a vacation. What do you think?"

Dan smirked. "Awesome! Hopefully, I'm on the vacation too. After all, my mere presence is probably capable of frightening any would-be apprentice of out of their skin."

"Maybe. What if Vlad were to be my new apprentice?" Clockwork asked, genuinely curious.

"That would be fine with me," Dan replied. "I don't think he likes me much."

"The Vlad I would bring in as an apprentice is the one that hasn't met you." Clockwork replied. "But, you're probably right."

"So, the future is safe from anything I might do it," stated Dan.

"Pretty much. Having you as a Master of Time may cause more than a few problems. Besides, you have to be approved by the Observants, and they said their piece," Clockwork frowned, actually thinking that Dan would be a good Time Keeper if given the chance.

"Yeah, I'm not exactly approvable, huh?" Dan replied, frowning. "But you like me anyway."

"Of course I like you. If I didn't, do you really think you'd still be free? Or that I would be so consenting, for that matter?" Clockwork smiled, kissing Dan.

"True," Dan replied, smiling.

Clockwork stared blankly at Dan for a moment. "What would you do if I let you leave here to do what you want?"

Dan frowned, thinking. "I'm not sure. Go get high-tech holographic tech from the future to create an another you for me to shag or something?" He paused. "OK, that was just flirting, but... I have no reason to wreck your place."

"Well, I guess that can help me rest easy..." Clockwork replied. "I mean, would you go try to kill Danny or something along the lines of death and destruction? After all, I can only entertain you for so long, before you get bored..."

Dan examined the sheets more than anyone would consider necessary before speaking. "Uh, Danny is me. He'll turn into me, someday. I'm inevitable." He paused. "No, I won't." He sighed in relief, glad not to have displayed anything more than self-preservation.

"Actually, Danny won't turn into you anymore. You still exist outside of time, so you're safe from anything that would have happened to you. That's why the Observants have been so upset with me." Clockwork sighed, a hint of sadness creeping into it. "And yes, you will. Eventually."

"Oh, right," replied Dan. "That. What will I do eventually?" He paused. "Don't you trust me?" Another pause. "With anything other than your naked body?"

"Not really." Clockwork stated bluntly. "You're lucky I trust you with my body." He paused. "I just don't trust that you'll stay. You may say you will, but let's face facts here; your track record for telling the truth isn't exactly all A's..."

Dan frowned. "That's your problem." He kissed Clockwork, wanting him to just forget about his distrust.

Clockwork mirrored Dan's frown. "How is it my problem? If I'm unhappy, I'll be less consenting to you."

Dan winced. "Not what I meant. It's both our problems." He paused. "What makes you so sure that nonconsensual sex is beyond me?"

"I'm not sure. Because I know it's not. Actually, when we first officially met, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a rapist. Albeit one that is also a homicidal maniac." Clockwork frowned at himself. Why was he picking on Dan?

Dan smirked. "Love is blind, perhaps."

"Maybe so. How would you know anyway? Love isn't exactly something you feel anymore." Ah. So, that's why Clockwork was upset. He scolded himself for feeling the way he did about Dan, but he just couldn't help it. That's why he's messing with Dan. Because he knew that the other man could never feel the same way.

Dan rolled his eyes. "That's an expression, and it seemed to sum up what you're saying, so yeah... Maybe, I don't feel love, but perhaps you can change that..." His voice took on a seductive timbre near the end.

Clockwork smiled slightly. "Yeah, and maybe the Box Ghost will actually be a threat."

Dan smirked. "What makes you so sure that the Box Ghost hasn't been a threat? Ever heard of Pandora's Box? Oh, what he could do with it..."

"Still wasn't as big a threat as you." Clockwork pushed Dan away so that he could sit up. "Have your feelings for me changed at all?"

"Of course," Dan replied smoothly. "Thanks for the ego-nourishment." He paused. "I only noticed your sex appeal recently."

"Yeah, like you really needed that," the Time Master replied sarcastically. He sighed. "Is that all you notice about people?"

Dan smiled. "I notice their opinion of me."

"And what's that? Fear, hatred and they also think you're a psychopathic monster. They are not wrong."

Dan frowned. "Yes." He paused. "I suppose your love has expired than." He smirked. "Your body hasn't, though."

Clockwork folded his arms across his chest and leaned back against the wall behind him. "Love doesn't expire. Lust does, however."

Dan replied, his voice laced with sarcasm. "I so needed to know that."

"So, if you do not love me, you will eventually get bored and want nothing more to do with me." Clockwork closed his eyes, his usual calm returning.

Dan frowned, sadness washing over him. He kissed Clockwork, softly and tenderly this time, unlike most.

Clockwork blinked in surprise and gave Dan a curious look. He shrugged and kissed back. Why bother fighting it? He wanted Dan. He loved Dan. And maybe his lover would feel the same. Eventually.

Dan smiled, his tongue exploring Clockwork's mouth.

Clockwork unfolded his arms and wrapped them loosely around Dan's neck, his hands finding their way to his lover's hair.

Dan moaned, plunging himself into Clockwork, letting their argument dissipate and wash away.

Clockwork tightened his grip on Dan's hair slightly, trying to make himself let go of the argument. It began to fade, but Clockwork was quite aware of the fact that it was merely going to hide somewhere in his mind, and that the fight may reemerge.

Dan licked at Clockwork's chest, smirking as he noticed the Time Keeper's yielding.

Clockwork was unhappy with himself for always giving in to Dan. But, there are just some things even time can't stop.

Dan moaned, kissing Clockwork in an attempt to get a smile back on his face.

Clockwork kissed Dan's neck, still angry with himself for upsetting Dan. "Sorry..." he murmured softly.

Dan smirked. "You were probably right about a few things." He blushed. "But perhaps wrong about others."

"I'm curious as to what I was right and wrong about, but I have a feeling you wouldn't tell me." Clockwork smiled gently and kissed Dan, admiring how cute the other ghost looked when he blushed.

"Yes, I won't," Dan replied, smirking as he kissed Clockwork.

Clockwork resumed his catlike tendencies and began to purr for his master's attention.

Dan grinned, feeling his nether parts respond. He licked Clockwork, enjoying the taste of his ghostly skin.

Clockwork moaned, letting his fingers fall from Dan's hair to his back. He lightly traced every inch of Dan that was in reach.

Sounds erupted from Dan, showcasing his pleasure. "Clock... work!"

Clockwork grinned. "Yes... Master?" He purred in his lover's ear, panting heavily.

Dan smirked. "You're mine." He paused. "Continue what you're doing."

"Yes, sir..." He murmured in response, continuing his ministrations.

Dan smiled, kissing Clockwork once again.

Clockwork deepened the kiss; progressively murdering that nagging little voice in his head that said this won't last.

Dan deepened it till the limits of anatomy made it so it couldn't be deepened anymore.

Clockwork moaned into the kiss, pressing his body against Dan's.

Dan sighed, his body responding more than he expected, covering his mate with liquid.

Clockwork nuzzled Dan's neck, pleased that he evoked such a reaction from a former enemy.

Dan grinned, enjoying the post-coital nuzzling. Post-coital, because of the unfortunate curse bestowed on mankind known as refractory periods.

Clockwork hugged Dan tightly. "Do me a favor; if I start another argument, please beat me into submission. I hate fighting..."

Dan wore a combination of a smile and a WTF expression. "Sure, Clockwork." He paused. "Hopefully, you won't regret it later!"

"I do regret fighting with you. Besides, having the crap beat out of me might make more inclined to shut up..." Clockwork laughed lightly.

Dan grinned, half-sheepishly. "But, sex will make you wanna continue."

"Of course I'd be vocal in that," Clockwork kissed Dan. "I mean it'll shut me up with the fighting."

Dan smirked. "My Clockwork." He paused. "Maybe I do have feelings for you."

Clockwork wanted to cry out in happiness at Dan's words, but kept the joy to himself. The way Dan had said that made Clockwork half-believe him. "Really?" He settled on a simple one-word response.

"Well, hurting you has started to bother me, it has been only you that I've been thinking about lately, and well, I just feel something for you," Dan replied, blushing.

The Time Master smiled. "At least you've made some progress..." He kissed Dan softly and laid his head on his lover's shoulder.

Dan smiled, recognizing that as a compliment.

"I'm tired..." Clockwork laughed. "You have too much stamina..." He smiled brightly at his lover.

Dan grinned. "You've told me that before."

"I know. Just keeping you updated." The Time Keeper laughed and cuddled up to Dan.

"So, what am I reviewing you?" Dan smiled. "About that: you get ten out of ten."

"So do you." Clockwork's eye began to feel very heavy. "I'm going to take a little nap... Don't cause any chaos, please..." He yawned.

Dan sighed. "No worries, Clockwork. I'm a bit sleepy..." He yawned. "Too."
