Cracks in the Crystal [Mack]

[Ackley Joshua Lynch]

Okay, nervous was a totally inadequate word for the current situation. Ackley had planned alittle...surprise for Mack. It wasn't something they had done before, which was saying something considering the nonsense the two of them got into on a regular basis. He still was incapable of looking the school nurse in the eye.

Ackley wasn't even sure he was into this sort of thing, but he was nothing if not willing to experiment. So here he was, walking around school with the constant and unshakeable awareness that he was wearing...panties. lacy ones. They were dark blue and had bows on the hips, and Ackley had the paranoid notion everytime someone so much as looked at him that they knew.

It took him forever to work up the nerve to do this and even longer to figure out how to go about it and what to wear. He'd ended up enlisting Alex's help, texting him a couple of pictures of Ackley in each pair he'd bought, just from the waist down. In the end, he'd been advised that the blue ones looked best. In retrospect, he supposed he should have known that himself. The pink satin ones were a little too pedo-chic, and with his and Mack's actualage difference, it would have been creepy, not sexy.

He told Mack to meet him in his dorm after classes, that he had to drop off a few papers, but he'd get there soon. Without thinking about it, Ackley had left his phone sitting on his bed that morning with his text inbox open.

When he finally finished delivering essays he'd promised his professors, Ackley returned to his room, peeking his head inside to see if Mack was already there.

Mack was actually pretty tired but decided to go to Ackley's room when he asked him to. He made his way there after he got out of the class he didnt' actually go to. Yeah... he was cool like that. He walked right into his room but found the room empty. He texted him, but the phone just rang on his bed. Well wasn't that helpful. Mack rolled his eyes at his forgetful boyfriend and flopped down on his bed to just wait for him. He started playing with his phone in his hand without really realizing it.

He didn't know if it was a conscience thought or if it was just something he decided in a quick minute, but soon he was going through the phone. They were dating... after all. They shouldn't have anything to hide. Mack was looking at the messages because well. That was what was up. He bypassed his own messages for obvious reasons and stopped when he saw Alex's name. The little fucking faery. Mack hated him. Mack opened those messages with the idea that he was going to find normal text messages. But no. There was a picture. Of Ackley. In panties. There were a few of them and honestly Mack would have been turned on if the pictures weren't in Alex's fucking inbox. It wasn't long after he found them that Ackley walked in. Mack was seething and trying to find a way to calm himself down but not succeeding by the time Ackley came back. He stood up and held up Ackley's phone to him with the picture up. "What the fuck is this!?"

For a second, Ackley wasn't sure what Mack was worked up about, couldn't see or register what was on the cell phone. As soon as it clicked, though, a look of desperation and panic overtook his expression. He held up a hand in protest and stumbled into the room, the door falling closed behind him. "N-n-no, Mack!" he managed to spit out, voice creeping higher than usual. "I-it's not...n-not wha-at it...what y-you think!" Because he knew exactly what Mack would think was going on.

Mack was the jealous type. He'd never tried to deny it, and Ackley loved him anyway. But it was definitely one of those things that was...well, it was a problem in their relationship. It wasn't really anyone's fault, though! Ackley had this horrible tendency to get himself into awkward and compromising positions, and Mack already hated Alex from before they were even together, and Ackley and Alex were...well, they were like litter mates or something. They always seemed to end up curled together like a couple of puppies, and Mack just didn't get that they weren't like that. Well, not anymore. Sure, they'd done stuff, but it had never been anything remotely romantic.

Desperate to diffuse this misunderstanding but unable to force any remotely useful words from his lips, Ackley rushed inside, making frantic gestures toward his phone, accidentally making like he wanted to grab it away - which was stupid and pointless, he reminded himself the second he did it, because Mack had obviously already seen the bad stuff. "I-I...for you, M-Mack!" he said stupidly. That and a frantically stuttered and possibly more damning, "I-we-it's...h-he told me-told me what to w-wear!" were the words that came out instead of useful words like, No, this is a misunderstanding. I wanted to surprise you with something sexy, but I needed Alex's advice on what to wear for you.

God damn it, he really should have gone to that speech therapist his middle school recommended.

Mack always had anger issues. Anyone that was around him for any length of time knew that. But this was bad. This was worse than ever before. He tried to get over the friendship that Ackley had with Alex. He tried to ignore it like Ackley had wanted because that would be what was best for their relationship, but that didn't fucking work. Mack's hands were shaking and his grip on Ackley's phone was even tighter. His fangs had extracted on their own with his anger and before he knew it the phone was up to his mouth and his fangs had bit through the phone easily. He then smashed it on the ground, shattering it to a million pieces. His ears not hearing what Ackley was saying what so ever.

"I'm going to kill that fucking faery! I'm going to rip him to pieces with my teeth and never think twice!"

[/b] Mack screamed at him as his fists were clenched as tight as they would go. He wanted to break something else. He wanted to break Alex.

Ackley's advance toward his boyfriend ceased as soon as he saw the fangs, eyes going wide in panic, though he knew, knew that his boyfriend would never actually hurt him. But the sight of them was still frightening. And the way he tore apart the phone...Ackley didn't even have a moment to lament that he couldn't afford a new one right now, not with needing to send money back home to his dad. Everything suddenly seemed surreal, yet too real, and he realized vaguely that, in that moment, he was actually frightened of his boyfriend.

No, no. He was being stupid. Mack was just upset, and he'd apologize for breaking the phone once he calmed down. Right? He was frantically trying to think of a way to diffuse the situation, afraid to bring himself any closer to the raging vampire.

"L-look, just....um, just b-breathe, Mack." He held up both hands nonthreateningly, attempting to appease Mack. "We...w-we should, y'know, just-just sit...sit a-and talk about this? M-Mack there's- I-I know you're mad, but...I...it's not...not A-Alex's fault. I-I sent the-the pictures, okay? But-but they weren't for him!"

He nearly took another step closer, but his eyes fell to the shattered cell phone on the ground. "I-I just didn't...I didn't know what-what to...and h-he was the o-only one I could, um, could think of...to ask? I-it doesn't mean anything, though!"

Mack's raging eyes finally looked at Ackley. He had been avoiding eye contact because normally Ackley could calm him down. Normally. Now, looking at Ackley, his eyes forced themselves downward so they could look at the lower half of Ackley's body. The part that was in the picture. His hands continued to shake as he pictured Alex being ripped apart in his mind.

"I don't care who it was for! You still sent them to him!"

[/b] Mack screamed. The last thing he wanted to do was to sit down and talk calmly. He was over being calm. He was over trying to be okay with Alex. He was over everything. "I haven't done this relationship thing... ever. But I know that is not something a normal person in a relationship does. You don't send pictures like that to someone you're just friends with. It doesn't work like that, Ackley!"[/b]

He knew Mack was right, but only in retrospect. At the time when he'd sent them, it had seemed the most natural, logical thing in the world. He knew nothing about sexy stuff like lingerie, Alex did. The logical conclusion was...well, obviously the logical conclusion had been a dumbass conclusion.

Ackley was nearing a full-fledged panic now. Mack was mad - no, not just mad but mad at him. And he didn't deal well with having people mad at him. His fight-or-flight response was all messed up, leaving him to quietly hyperventilate in front of his shouting boyfriend. "I know," he breathed. "I-I know it...it was stupid. I-I-I'm sorry, Mack. I just -
I mean, I wasn't thinking and I- this-this is all my fault."

Finally, Ackley gave into that dangerous impulse and moved closer, leaving barely a foot of space between them. He stared down into Mack's eyes, his expression distressed and pleading. "I-I didn't mean a-anything...it was supposed...just-I just wa-anted to surprise you and-and I...pl-lease, Mack, I love you. Y-you know I love you. I-I'm yours. All yours." And ackley was quite sure that he would do anything right then if it meant appeasing Mack.

[mackenzie matthew martin]

Ackley was getting closer to him and even with Mack's raging mind he knew that wasn't a good idea. He needed to stay away because one bite from him and Ackley would literally die. Even though he knew that, it didn't stop him from keeping his fangs out while his breathing sped and he could feel beads of sweat on his forehead. He had already bit Ackley's phone. What else would eat bite.

Mack tried to listen to his boyfriend. He tried to reason with his pissed off mind but the vampire in him was taking over and he didn't like it. He needed to bite something that wasn't a piece of electronic and he needed to do it quickly. And preferably when Ackley wasn't the only thing with a heartbeat in the room. "Ackley. You should really keep away."

[/b] Mack hissed, his fangs still peeking out of his mouth. "Promise me you will never talk to him again."[/b] Mack muttered in a low and dangerous voice before freaking out and screaming before Ackley could even answer. "PROMISE ME."[/b]

[Ackley Joshua Lynch]

The fact that Mack himself wasn't sure if he could keep from hurting Ackley...well, it was a little terrifying. The young wolf stopped in his tracks, wary, but didn't back away. He would let Mack be mad, he deserved to be mad. God, why was Ackley so stupid and careless and horrible at everything? He'd really messed up this time and he knew it.

Ackley was about to argue with his boyfriend's request - stop seeing Alex? That was...well, who would he have then? Just Mack. But then as Mack raised his voice, all he could do was flinch visibly and cower away, nodding frantically. Mack had just shouted at him. Ackley was not good at being shouted at, hardly ever put himself in a position where that might happen for the sole reason that it was absolutely frightening. "O-okay!" He relented without a second thought. "Okay I...I won't, I promise." His voice was too thick with emotion and panic. "Anything, Mack. I-he knows. I'll tell him, but he knows. Knows I'm yours."

Giving Mack a desperate expression, he said in barely more than a whisper. "Please, Mack, what can I do? I-I'll do anything. Please."

[mackenzie matthew martin]

Mack could feel Ackley's emotions. He wasn't strong enough to really feel what they were or anything, but he could just feel that they were strong. He could just feel something and there was a part of him that really wanted to calm down. Wanted to apologize and run away and maybe just hide for the rest of his life. He had anger issues, sure, he had always known that. When he got angry at Northvale before, Ackley could help him. Ackley calmed him down. When he got angry at home, it was his sister that calmed him down. He wanted her. Since Ackley wasn't working.

"Prove you're mine. Prove you love me."

[/b] Mack hissed, trying but failing at putting his fangs back in. His vampire body was yelling at him. Telling him he needed blood. He knew the schools blood wouldn't do it for him either. He wanted to go find a human, but maybe he'd settle for an animal.
