Wolf Guardians: Chapter 5- Let The Training Commence

Vance had already shown the first main floor to James already. They where almost half way done with the second floor, when James saw two doors, "What's in there?"

Vance looked at where James was pointing, "Oh, that's just the banquet or ballroom, nothing really in there."

James opened the door on the right side and peeked in. The afternoon sunlight shined on the glassy floor. He looked around the room and saw to chandeliers that had crystals hanging from it. In the far-left corner James saw a cover grand piano. He opened the door and went in. Vance just watched where James was going. "Oh you just saw the piano."

James looked over his shoulders and smiled. James removed the cover and folded it and put it on the floor. He opened the top of the part of the keys. "Do you play the piano?" Vance asked James.

"I know only a little, I'm not that good though." James admitted.

"Go ahead play something." Vance told him.

"Okay, since you asked." James smiled and composed himself on the stool.

He put his hands in position and started to play, like it was second nature to him. So far what Vance was hearing he was enjoying. 'And he said he wasn't very good at playing. He was just being modest.'

At some points during his playing, Vance heard James humming to what he was playing. 'Whoa, he can sing too? Boy he is full of surprises.'

Vance was just lost in the music and leaned on top of the piano. When James was finished, he opened his eyes and looked at Vance. "That was very good. But you said that you weren't good." Vance gave him 'I caught you in a lie' look.

"Well, I don't think I'm that good." James smiled.

"It's not what you should think, it's how you feel when you play." Vance commented.

"You're right." James agreed.

"You also sing too?" Vance asked.

"Yeah, kinda sorta." James smiled and blushed a little.

"Kinda sorta?? With a set of pipes like that you sound like a professional." Vance praised.

"You really don't have to go that far about it." James turned even redder.

"I never heard that song before, who wrote it?" Vance asked.

"Me." James admitted.

Vance's eyes widened with awe, "You write song too? That was pretty good. Boy is there anything you want to admit to?"

James couldn't help but laugh. 'Boy Rance, you don't even know what he is capable of doing. You're one lucky cousin.' Vance thought.

"Oh there you guys are." They both heard a voice.

They both looked that the doors to see Rance standing there. "Ah cousin you're back." Vance said.

James looked at both of them, "You guys are cousins?"

"Yes Vance is my cousin, and the best we have in our family." Rance smiled.

"Now you're being to modest Rance." Vance laughed.

"Now that you mentioned it I do see a similarity." James commented.

"Master Zang is here and would like to speak to you Vance." Rance told his cousin.

"Oh he does. Probably wants another match after last time." Vance chuckled.

"I wouldn't blame him, you didn't kick his butt." Rance remarked.

"Well, I'll let James entertain you with his piano playing, singing abilities." Vance said as he walked towards the door.

Rance turned around, "You play and sing? I never knew that?"

"Just because you had the mirror, it never showed what I could do did it?" James smiled.

"Well, I have to hear you sometime, but now I wanna show you something outside. Come with me." Rance held out his hand to him.

James got up and put his hand in Rance's.

Once outside Rance covered his eyes with his hands and guided James to where they were going.

Inside someone was watching them from a window. He had long black hair with his in a ponytail. "So he is the one. The one that Rance cares so much about." The man said.

"Yes Master Zang. I can see why he is so in love with him too." Vance said.

Zang turned around to Vance, "Vance don't tell me that you have feelings for him?"

"Yes Master, ever since Rance showed me in that mirror. I've never admitted it to someone before. But it's Rance that James will be with and be happy with." Vance admitted.

"Vance, even though it kills you, you still press on. I'll pray that you do find someone like him." Zang patted Vance on the shoulder, "From what I can sense from him, he has a very strong heart, and will. He needs to work on his body now. I can see and sense it's out of tone."

"Master, please do not tell Rance this, I don't want to lose both of them, my own family, and someone I care about." Vance pleaded with Zang.

"Don't worry Vance I know nothing of the matter." Zang turned back to the window.

Back outside Rance stopped at a gate and opened the door. "Okay, you can open your eyes now." Rance removed his hands and James opened his eyes.

James couldn't believe what he was seeing. He had to blink more then twice to make sure that his vision was okay. They were standing in a beautiful garden full of blooms. James heard the trickle of water. In the far back of the garden was a waterfall, surrounded by trees and ferns. "My goodness, it feels like I've died and gone and this is paradise." The beauty of what he was seeing blew James away.

"So you like it then?" Rance asked.

"I love it. It's so beautiful!" James exclaimed.

"As beautiful as you are." Rance commented.

"I'm going to have to get used to comments like that." James was red in his cheeks.

"I know. You haven't really had luck in that area, but it will grow on you, and hopefully I will." Rance kissed James' forehead.

"Well, I don't mind the kissing. But let's get something official." James said.

Rance just looked at him, "I know how you feel about me, and right now I just like you, but I think with time that will change. So do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Rance smiled and looked at him, "Do I have to really answer that? You already now the answer to that."

"Well, I just wanted to make it more official okay, give me a break, I've never done this before." James said sarcastically.

"Okay, yes I'd be honored to be your boyfriend." Rance laughed a little in answering.

"Alright then, what happens from here?" James looked around.

"I don't know either, cause I'm also new to this thing." Rance laughed.

"So your grandfather told me." James smiled.

"I see, now I know what you guys where talking about." Rance commented.

"Yes we did talk about you, but other things as well." James added.

"Well, if it's between you two, then that's the way it must stay." Rance put his hand on James' arm.

Out of the bushes in the garden black wolves walked out. James noticed this right away. Rance also saw this and got in front of James. "I want you to run back inside and tell Vance about they are here and where they are. I'll be right behind you." Rance instructed James.

James shook his head and ran to the gate. "You shouldn't be here you know." Rance said before he morphed.

James heard the growls of wolves. He heard a yelp and stopped, 'No James he told you to get Vance and tell what's going on, just run.' James continued running.

Zang saw James running back into the house, "Vance something is wrong James is running here and Rance isn't following."

Vance looked out the window, "Let's go and see what's going on."

Both men ran out of the room and went to meet James. James got inside and called out for Vance, "Vance! Vance!"

"I'm right here James, what's going on?" Vance asked.

James tried to catch is breath, "It's them in the garden, and Rance is still there."

"I'm on my way Vance to help him." Zang ran towards the garden.

"I want you to stay here, it's you they are after." Vance instructed.

Vance then ran after Zang. James then heard the sound of a wolf howling. James looked out the door he came in and saw more wolves running to the garden. "I must help, but what can I do?" James said still catching his breath.

Out in the garden there chaos was being torn apart. Zang turned into a dragon keeping them away from Rance. Rance was being attack from every side of him. When the other white wolves came in they soon got the black wolves away from Rance. Rance was bleeding severely and collapsed. Then another black wolf appeared over the wall. This black wolf was a little bigger then the others. It saw Rance laying on the ground and growled. It leaped towards Rance. It was stopped six feet before Rance.

James landed on the ground with a thud on his back. The wolf was on him, showing its fangs. The other wolves stopped what they where doing and focused their attention to James. The black wolf snarled. James looked at Rance breathing hard and in pain. His eyes rolled in the back of his eyelids. Before the black wolf knew what was happen it was tossed in air, flying backwards. James stood up from the ground with his eyes pupiless. His form started to shift. There was a light glowing around him that blanketed him. The light faded away and where James was, stood a gray wolf.

The gray wolf growled at the black wolf, which recovered from being thrown. "Foolish boy." The gray wolf heard in his head.

"It's you who is foolish." The gray wolf's metal voice spat back.

The gray wolf took off running at the black wolf. The gray wolf grabbed the black wolf's neck and threw the black wolf over him. The gray wolf turned around, "I suggest you and you're kind leave this place at once or you answer to me."

The black wolf now in a weakened state, growled and snapped at the gray wolf and ran out threw the gate entrance, with the other black wolves following. All the white wolves looked at the gray wolf. The gray wolf then collapsed on it's side and changed back into James.

The white wolves shifted back into their human form. Vance quickly went to Rance to see if he was okay. With touching Rance, Rance turned back to his human form, "He needs to treated fast get him inside quickly."

Vance then went over to James, 'What the hell did you just do James Matthew? Why didn't you stay inside like I told you to? You could of gotten hurt or even..' Vance felt a hand on his shoulder.

Zang looked at him, "There is more to this man then we even know."

"Let's get him inside." Rance picked James up in his arms, and they left the garden.

Three hours later James sprung up in sweat as he relived what had happened in the garden. He was breathing hard. "What the hell happened to me?" James looked at his hands, "How did I do that?"

The door opened and Vance stepped in the room. "You're awake good. I need to ask you some questions. How did you do that James back there?" Vance sat next to James.

"Actually I was asking that myself, and yet I don't know. The only thing that I remember is looking at Rance and then it got blurry, and one thing led to another. I remember what happened, but yet I felt it wasn't me." James explained.

"What you did was save Rance. I'm glad you didn't listen to me when I told you to stay in here. The whole house is talking about what you did." Vance smiled, "Come on now, Rance is awake and wanted me to see if you where awake. So, now that you are come with me." Vance got up.

James got up out of the bed and followed Vance. When he got up he felt dizzy. Vance saw this and caught him, "Boy whatever happened to you must have done a ringer on you. Let me help you to Rance's room."

"Thank you Vance." James let Vance help him.

Once outside the room the hall was lined with people. As they passed them they bowed their heads at James. James was a little confused, then remembered what Vance told him. James thought it was the appropriate thing to do and nod his head at them. Once they reached Rance's room someone opened the door for them. When the got into the room, Zang was standing on one side of Rance's bed. Dr. Phillips was on the other side checking Rance's pulse. The doctor looked up and smiled. A smile came over Rance's face. Vance helped him to the bedside. "Is he okay Dr. Phillips?" James asked.

"I'm glad that you remembered my name, and yes he is, just a few scratches and bruises that's just about it. How are you son, I heard you went through an ordeal." The doctor asked.

"I feel okay, except when I stood up, but I think it's a side effect from what happened." James told Dr. Phillips.

"Well, everything seems to be all right with you Rance, just rest for awhile, don't do anything over strenuous. Let those scratches heal. I'm counting on you Mr. Matthew's to make sure that he does okay?" Dr. Phillips smiled.

"Yes doctor, I'll make sure, and if that doesn't work I have help." James smiled back.

"Thank you doctor, I appreciate it." Rance said.

"I'll show myself out to the door then." The doctor said and grabbed his stuff.

"Let me escort you doctor." Vance said and followed the doctor.

"I guess I'll let you two talk then." Zang said knowing that Rance would want to be alone with James.

The door closed behind Zang and James looked back at Rance. They just looked at each other and saying nothing. James decided to break the silence and laughed. "I don't know how it all happened with me. It's kinda funny, cause something must of reacted when I saw you laying there." James started to explain.

"So I heard what happened. What were you thinking at that time?" Rance asked.

"What I was thinking is that this couldn't of been happening, not like this. And when I looked at you I thought, we just said we'd be boyfriends, and I didn't want to see that end right then and there. I wanted to experience what it is like to be in a relationship." James answered.

"Very noble and true thoughts of your heart. From what I'm guessing is that some of the power reacts to your emotions and a little is release at a time when your emotions are at the highest. It seems like a plausible way why you morphed. Thanks by the way, cause what you did came from the heart." Rance said.

James smiled and looked at Rance, "You're welcome."

Rance sat up and put his hand over James hand. They both leaned in towards each other. They locked their lips. Their kiss got more passionate. James leaned his body more in having Rance lay down again. "Stay with me here for the rest of the day." Rance asked.

"I will don't worry." James replied as they continued to kiss.

It was a little after seven at that time. As they were kissing Rance undid the buttons to the shirt he gave James earlier. As soon as it was unbuttoned, James took off the shirt. James had hair on his upper part of his chest. He wasn't the most fit but Rance didn't care. By this time James was laying on top of Rance. Rance moved his hands all over James' back. His hands went all the way under the pants feeling James' bubble butt. Both of them were both aroused. James slowly had maneuvered the pants to his feet. Rance had both of his hands on both cheeks and started to massage them and grab them. "Just to let you know that you're the only one with any clothing on." Rance thought he bring up.

James just grinned, "Well, it was just some work for you to do. Now finished what was started."

Rance obliged and took off the boxer briefs. James laid totally naked on top of Rance. "Do you mind if I join you under these sheets?" James asked.

"Do you think I'm not going to let you?" Rance sarcastically remarked, and lifted the sheet up.

James slipped under the sheet next to Rance. Rance rolled on top of James. Rance started to kiss on James' neck. James just let out gasps of air as it felt so warm. "This is so perfect." James said, "But I don't wanna go any further then what's happening, cause I want it to be out of love. Since my feeling will have to develop."

"Then let's make an agreement, we won't have sex, and nothing goes farther than this, until that time." Rance suggested.

"Agreed then." James agreed with the compromise, "Sorry to have killed the mood."

"That's okay. I understand, I have you here, and that's all that matters." Rance laid back beside James.

James laid on his left side and put his hand on Rance's chest, resting his head on the one of four pillows. "So can I hear that voice of yours?" Rance looked over and put his arm around James brining him closer.

"Sure." James answered and started humming.

James hummed a melody that he knew pretty well for about four minutes. When he was finished Rance looked at him, "Boy you have an amazing voice. Next time I'll have to hear you play if you sing this good."

James blushed a little.

The next morning James was woke up to someone shaking him. "James get up, it's time for your training." Vance's voice whispered.

James just groaned, "Give me a robe please."

Vance went into Rance's closet and got a robe then gave it to James. "Better hurry now, Master Zang is waiting outside." Vance told James.

"What time is it?" James asked all groggy.

"It's a quarter to six." Vance answered.

James just turned around, "Okay back to bed then."

Vance grabbed a hold of James' arm and swung him around, "I take it you're not a morning person?"

"Does it look like I get up this early in the morning?" James pointed to his face and hair.

Vance just chuckled softly. "Hurry get some shorts, and a shirt on so you can get something to eat." Vance tried to have James hurry up.

James reluctantly did what he was told. After getting dressed he followed Vance to the kitchen. James sat down at the table and grabbed a banana, a muffin and poured a glass of apple juice. "It this how early we're going to get up everyday for training?" James asked then took a drink of the juice.

"Knowing Master Zang, yep." Vance was no busy reading the paper.

"I am so not ready for this." James grumbled.

James then felt two hands on his shoulders. He turned around and saw Rance standing in a half sleep daze. "Morning cousin." Vance said as he grabbed his cup of coffee and drank it.

Rance just smile reluctantly and then looked down at James, "Well, hope you're ready for today. Master Zang is very good, but strict, so listen to what he has to say to you okay. All you can do is try your best then improve on it."

"Thanks for the support, and might I add you're suppose to stay in bed. Doctor's orders you know." James smiled, peeled he banana and took a bit off the top so Rance would see.

Rance just looked at James like he was going to get even with doing the thing with the banana. "You just wait their mister, I'll get ya."

Vance just snickered behind the paper. "And I'll your little practicing buddy their too." Rance added and poured a cup of coffee and went back to his room.

Ten minutes later, after finishing breakfast, they met Master Zang in the practicing courtyard. "I hope both of you sleep well?" Master Zang suggested something to James in his voice.

"Yes, I actually did." James answered, unaware of what Zang was asking.

Vance just smiled smugly and tried not to laugh. James saw Vance's face and then it finally dawned on him what was meant, "I meant I rested well, ah forget it!"

Both Vance and Zang couldn't help but busting out in laughter. James was not amused at all. "Sorry about that, it's early morning humor." Zang got a hold of himself, "Okay the first thing we are going to do is learn self defense. If you can't defend your body, then my god have pity on you. Now for the moment being Vance will be helping me training you. He will be training partner."

Zang took both of them and had them facing each other. "Now I want you to block all the maneuvers that Vance makes towards you, and remember to focus on every move he makes. Okay Vance now." Zang instructed him.

Vance started swinging his arms at James' face. James leaned to the sides and then leaned back. Vance then tried to attack James by coming at his with his elbow. James caught Vance's elbow and pushed it to the side. "Very good, but remember watch 'every' move he makes. James tried to avoid or block all Vance's maneuvers. James was so focused on watching Vance's hands and arms, that Vance crouched down and swung his leg under James'. James fell on the pads in a moan. "You know it a good thing we are training on a padded ground, cause if we weren't I'd be kicking a little butt by now." James remarked.

Vance helped James up to his feet. Master Zang came over to James, "You didn't watch every move did you?"

James swallowed hard, "No I didn't. I was just watching his hands and arms, I forgot that he could use his legs."

"Very good, now let's try it again shall we?" Zang stepped back.

Vance started his assaults towards James. James blocked and avoided all of them, keeping his eyes moving to see what Vance would do next. Vance crouched down again and swung his leg. This time James did a backwards flip without even thinking. "Very good and impressive so far." Zang praised James.

"Okay, that was weird. I have never done a flip in my entire being." James said.

"It was natural instinct, you don't have to have all your moves planned out, sometimes your body will do it naturally, just like what you did." Zang explained, "And important thing is to trust and listen to your body. Your body will tell you things just as well as your mind does."

After five hours of defensive training the three of them went into the house for lunch. "I must say that you are doing very good for your level James. You catch on very quickly. After lunch we will have and hour break for the food to digest a little and then we train some more, but this time on offense."

Rance then came into the kitchen, "So it's going that well huh?"

Zang shook his head as he had food in his mouth. "And what about you mister, and you resting like you should?" James asked.

"On the contrary Mr. James I am. Even though I lay on the bed, I still have my duties to the house and the family business." Rance replied.

"So you've turned your bedroom into a office in other words?" James asked.

"Uh-huh." All Rance seemed to say.

"Whatever works for you." James said.

Rance came from behind James and kissed him on his neck and groped him. James jumped a little tried, and tried keeping the food in his mouth. "How's that for earlier this morning?" Rance whispered.

Rance grabbed a glass that he filled with water and left. James continued eating with his face all red. Zang and Vance tried not to laugh, but little snickers came out from both of them. "Revenge is sweet, but the war isn't totally over yet." James said as he looked at the two. They got getting lunch and did their own things.

James thought he'd just walk around. Zang and Vance where in the family study when James walked by. The door was cracked open a bit and James listened. "You're doing good so far Vance." Zang cheered.

"I don't know how long it will last though master. When I'm near him I just want to hold him in my arms and keep him there." Vance said back.

"I know that it might have not been a good idea for you being his training partner, but it's only until Rance's wounds are held." Zang added.

'What?! Vance has a crush on me? Oh god I don't know if I was suppose to hear that. Okay this is going to be awkward now, knowing that he has feelings for me. I'll just go on and pretend I don't know anything." James stepped away from the door and continued to walk down the hall.

"Hold on master, I have a funny feeling." Vance put their conversation on momentary hold and walked to the door.

He opened the door and looked around. He saw James walking towards the stairs. He closed the door behind me and sighed and had worried face. "What the matter Vance?" Zang asked.

"Well, I don't now if he heard what we were talking about but James went by the door." Vance explained his actions.

"Was the door shut all the way?" Zang asked.

"It was open a little ways. I hope he didn't hear anything." Vance sat down on the couch.

"I bet he didn't hear anything and that is was just coincidence that he walked by." Zang assured Vance.

James had went into the room that he had stayed in the previous night, and found some of his stuff had arrived. This made him happy to see some of his stuff. There was a box the had 'pictures' written on it. He opened the box and pulled out a binder. He opened and started to look at the pictures. He sat down and started to remember when he was younger. He saw picture of his friends and family. "I wish I could see what they are doing right now and tell them I'm okay." He put the binder down and saw another box that said 'music'.

He quickly opened it and found a blue notebook. "Thank god I have this, just incase I need it.

He left the room and went down the hall to the ballroom. He sat down at the piano and started doing exercises. He opened the book and turned to a page that had notes marked on it. He smiled and started playing the notes on the page. He soon started to hum to the melody and closed his eyes. The hour flew fast. When James didn't show back up at the training grounds. Zang and Vance started to worry about him and decided to look for him. They both separated to make the search go faster.

Vance started upstairs where he saw James go. The first room he checked was the ballroom, but no one was there. He then went down the hall further and opened a door. He saw James laying on the bed with something beside him. This got Vance's curiosity and went over to see what it is was. As he got closer he noticed tear streaks on his James' face. He then looked at what James had. He read the words in his head.

My life has decided to change My past slowly starting to fade. New people in my life To hard to explain why. Two hearts that love me, And my heart just wants to be free.

My life isn't easy I feel like I'm in misery, Some come and set me free. My life isn't easy, It's getting hard to see, Somebody please help me, My life isn't easy.

Vance stopped reading there, for tears started to form in his eyes. He put the book down and pulled a blanket over him. He closed the door and saw Zang coming his way. "Did you find him Vance?" Zang asked.

Vance put his finger on his lips and whispered, "He's sleeping. He saw some of his stuff was hear and went through some of it. I could tell he must of cried to sleep as he had pictures out. He must be missing his family and friends right now. Is all right if we just call off the rest of the training today and let him rest? He hasn't had time to let this all settle in yet."

"We can today, for his sake. I feel sorry that all of this is happening to him so suddenly and so fast. But I don't say so on what fate and destiny have planned for us." Zang sighed.

James woke up and found Rance was sitting on the bed, "Hello sleepyhead. Get enough sleep?"

James sprang up quickly, "Holy shit, how long have been sleeping?"

"Calm down, they cancelled the rest of the training today." Rance announced the news.

"I'm sorry Rance, it's just when I saw my stuff I went through some of it. I wasn't aware of the time." James started to explain.

"Shhhh. You don't need to apologize. You're got a little homesick, that's all, it happens to all of us." Rance smiled.

James found his notebook shut and on the nightstand. "Hate to asked but did you read what was in there?" He asked Rance.

"It was already shut when I got in here, so I put it on the stand for you." Rance answered.

They just looked at each other. Tears started to fall out of James' eyes. "Go ahead and cry, let it all out." Rance pulled James into him.

James cried on Rance's chest and put his arms around him. James sat back up and wiped away his tears. "Do you feel better now?" Rance smiled.

James smiled back, "I'm okay now."

"Well, you missed dinner, but I can fix you something. Let's go to kitchen and see what you'd like. I'll be your personal chef tonight." Rance stood up.

"Food does sound good right now." James laughed and got up.

They went to the kitchen, "So what would you like babe?" Rance asked as he looked in fridge.

"Now that's going to take a while to get used to." James smiled and looked in the fridge.

James saw a couple of chicken fillets, some rice. He grabbed them and went over to the stove. "What do you think you're doing?" Rance asked.

"Okay where are the pans?" James started opening cupboard doors.

"They are bottom of the stove drawer." Rance pointed out.

James laughed, "Oh I should of looked there first, silly me."

He got out a large skillet and put it on the stove. He turned the heat on to medium-high. "You still haven't answered my question, what do you think you're doing?" Rance asked again.

"What does it look like, cooking of course." James smiled and put the chicken in the skillet.

"Hey I told you that I would cook for you." Rance started to protest.

"How about this, we both cook?" James smiled again.

"Okay, tell me what to do, and I can help." Rance said.

"Okay find the Italian seasoning for me and I'll just nuke the rice a little later." James told him.

Rance looked through the spices, "Italian season, found it."

"All right we, need a little oil for the pan, here it is." James put some oil in the pan, "Go ahead and put the seasoning on the fillets"

Fifteen minutes they got done cooking. James grabbed two plates and put on fillet on a plate and some rice. While they were letting the fillets James found some alfredo sauce and warmed it up. He put it over the chicken and the rice. They both sat down and started to eat. "You cook to, what don't you do?" Rance asked.

"Now if I tell you it wouldn't be a surprise." James grinned.

Rance took a bit of the chicken, "Mmmmm..this tastes good, where'd you learn to cook?"

"My mother." James smiled proudly.

They both finished and cleaned the dishes they used. "Well, I guess I should go to bed, cause I've got training early." James said.

"Well, I hope you sleep well." Rance kissed James on the cheek.

"Night Rance." James said.

"Night sexy." Rance said back.

James blushed a little. James went into his room and got ready for bed. James tried to sleep but couldn't. He then heard someone walking outside. He peeked out of his door, and saw Vance. He opened the door a little more, "Vance, what are you doing?" James asked.

Vance turned around and smiled at James, "I see you're awake, but you should get some sleep."

Vance was wearing a blue Speedo with a towel draped over his shoulders. James just gave him the elevator eyes, "I can't get to sleep, and heard you going by."

"Sounds like you could get the hot tub like I did. Remember where the pool is?" Vance asked him.

James shook is head. "Okay, don't have to much fun and don't stay up to late." Vance said and waved bye.

James rummaged through the boxes that had his clothes. He found his pair of trunks and grabbed a towel and headed down stairs. When he opened the door to the pool he saw Rance swimming laps. James carefully walked to the hot tub without getting noticed. He got into the hot tub without making too much noise. He rested his head on the back of the tub and closed his eyes.

Rance got done swimming and notices a towel by the hot tub. He climbed out of the pool and walked to the hot tub. He just shook his head when he was James there relaxing. Rance quietly went over and pushed James' head in the tub, making James struggle. When James came to the surface he moved his hair aside and looked at Rance who moved to the pool and laughing his head off.

James got out of the hot tub and ran towards Rance. He grabbed Rance and they both went into the pool. When Rance came up for air he saw James wearing a grin. "Thought you could get away with that huh?" James asked.

"Come here you." Rance started swimming towards James.

James quickly went under water. Rance couldn't see where he went. Behind Rance a pair of wet hands came out of the water and pulled on Rance's shoulders pulling him underneath the water again. Rance came up again and looked around for James. James was sitting on the edge of the pool holding a pair of shorts on his index finger. Rance checked with his hands and found his shorts where gone. "If you want them, come and get them." James said.

Rance swam over to James. He pulled himself up in front of James, "Thought that was clever of you?"

"I thought so, since that was for groping me this afternoon." James still wore a grin on his face.

Rance leaned in more and James laid on his back. James pulled Rance's head in. They started kissing deeply. "I thought you were suppose to be sleeping?" Rance broke their kiss.

"I couldn't sleep, and heard Vance walk by my room. He told me the same thing, and then told me to come here, and here I am." James explained.

"Well, I'm glad you did then, cause I couldn't sleep either." Rance added.

"Then why don't we get dried and you can stay with me tonight?" James suggested.

"Love that plan." Rance remarked and kissed James' lips, then grabbed his shorts.

James got up and grabbed his towel and started to dry off. Rance came from behind him and hugged him. "I ache all over with the training. Plus, I'm not in the great of shape either." James said.

"That doesn't matter to me." Rance commented.

"Shall we got then?" James asked.

"Lead the way." Rance motioned to the door.
