Fin woke up feeling off. Dreams of blue eyes and a strange mark bothered him all morning. Jack had lunch plans with a redheaded cheerleader, so Fin ate alone and wondered if stress was making him see things.
After school, Fin went straight to Jack's house for homework. Fin stayed quiet, so they finished quickly. Jack looked ready to listen.
"I had a weird dream," Fin said. "A man I’ve never seen before showed up. He said he was a Nightmare, a real one, and that he liked me."
"Oh, hell no!" Lee'en appeared out of thin air next to Fin. "Are you saying a Nightmare latched onto you?"
"Good grief!" Fin cried out as he launched himself away from Lee'en's general direction. "How did you get in here?"
"I’m usually invisible," Lee said. "I only lower my shield so you can see me. No other human can."
Fin shouted and launched himself across the room, making Jack jump a mile. The brunet teen sucked on the straw of the cherry slushie he bought on the way home. The lid flew off, and icy cherry goodness rained down on Jack.
"Jesus, fuck, that's cold!" Jack yelped before whipping his shirt off.
Half the iced drink spilled down the front of his collar. He collected frosty chunks and sucked them off his fingers.
"Did the Nightmare do anything to you?" Lee asked, sniffing the air around Fin. "No, you’re still chaste." He suddenly stared at Jack’s bare chest. "Wow. Can I touch him?"
"What? No!" Fin said quickly.
"Fin, what's going on? Who are you yelling at now?" Jack asked, still catching his breath from the cold.
Fin blushed hotly. "I-it's Lee'en again."
"Oh, please let me lick that cherry slushie off of him. Pleeease." Lee begged.
"And now he wants to lick you clean," Fin said, embarrassed by the Unicorn's words.
"Pinky's here? And he wants to lick me? That sounds... fun." Jack leaned back and shivered as ice slid down his chest. "Come get me, little unicorn."
"Oh fuck this shit," Lee cursed under his breath as he walked over to the teenager and took hold of his hips firmly. He leaned down to lick the dripping line down the center of Jack’s chest, then quickly pulled back in case Jack flailed or shifted unexpectedly. "Damn, but he tastes so good. Way better than that artificial cherry nonsense."
Fin gaped. "You just did that! I thought humans couldn't know about you!"
"No, I said no other humans can see or hear me. The rules say nothing about touching, and I'm not the first unicorn to bend the rules, nor will I be the last," Lee countered.
"Fin..." Jack's eyes were wide as saucers, and his voice shook. "Did Pinky just lick me?"
"Wait, you actually felt him licking you?" Fin frowned. "No one else can see or hear you, but they can feel you?" He asked in an accusatory tone.
"Didn’t I just say that?" Lee huffed. He put his hand on Jack’s chest, sliding down to the edge of Jack’s pants. "I’d lick you anywhere, anytime. Tell him."
"Now he's saying he wants to lick you all over like a slobbering dog," Fin told Jack.
"Fin! Why'd you say it like that?" Lee whined.
"Fuck," Jack's voice was breathy. "I think I kind of like pinky. Do you see him touching me right now? I feel him."
"Yeah, I wish I didn't," Fin sighed. "He's looking at you like I look at food."
"I would certainly eat him in other ways, that's for sure." Lee confessed. "If he'd let me."
"And he just said he'd molest you," Fin muttered.
"Shit, Fin," Jack shook his head. "I knew you weren't lying, but this is real! He can touch me—can I touch him?"
Without hesitation, the Unicorn took hold of Jack's hand and held it to the side of his face, pressing a soft kiss to the base of his thumb.
"Fin, you’re the most chaste human I’ve ever met," the Unicorn said. "Others will find you, too. If I were human, I’d never leave Jack’s side."
Fin groaned. "Jack, that's the wildest crush confession I’ve ever heard. If he were a girl, he’d have your babies."
"I don't even..." Jack traced his fingers across the Unicorn's face, wonder in his eyes. "He feels cute." Jack blushed, a rare sight. "What did you say his name was again?" He ran his fingers through the pink pixie haircut. "Soft," he whispered.
For the first time, Fin really looked at the two in front of him, so different, yet somehow connected.
"Lee'en. His name's Lee'en." He answered.
The pink-haired Unicorn felt absolute bliss as Jack's hands traced his head and face. "I vow to show you just how soft I can be later," Lee whispered. "I promise." He kept still, allowing the human his fill of exploring. But, he did take one of Jack's hands and held it up to his mouth, giving the middle finger a thorough suck.
"Lee'en." Jack moaned softly. "His name's pretty." The hazel-eyed teen scooted forward, pressing his chest to the Unicorn’s front. "Fuck, I feel him." He looked to Fin. "Is there any way I can see him?"
Lee gasped. "There’s one way: if he crosses into our dimension. Usually only chaste people cross over at eighteen, but some others manage it too."
"He says the only way to see him is to go to his dimension somehow. And I can apparently go to their dimension when I turn 18." Fin informed him.
"That's two whole years." Jack looked physically pained. "How can I help him lick me like a slobbering dog if I can't see him?" The teen suddenly perked up. "Hey, Finny, who I love as my bestest friend forever and ever?" Jack gave Fin the best puppy-dog eyes he could muster.
"I don't like the sound of this, but what?" Fin questioned his best friend.
"I can't see sweet little Lee." Jack's hands stroked down the Unicorn's back to cup Lee's pert backside. "But you can, and with just a little guidance from you, he and I could do lots of fun hot amazing things together."
The younger teen stiffened. He owed Jack a lot and would do almost anything for him. But it was one thing to see those kinds of things in his dreams. It was completely different having to witness it in real life.
"I...I'm sorry Jack, I can't." He admitted. "That's way beyond my comfort zone."
Jack sighed and nodded.
"Jack," Lee keened as he licked his lips. The human certainly didn't need much encouragement to do what he wanted. "Tell him...tell him that all he needs to do is speak instructions to me and I will either follow them or not."
Fin gulped. "Alright, since this is so important to you, I'll tell you his exact words, word for word. 'All he needs to do is speak instructions to me and I will either follow them or not.' That's what he said."
"I can work with that." Jack nodded. "I'll be eighteen in a year. I started kindergarten late, so I'm older than Fin." The teen explained to the invisible man that he was touching. "There's really no way I can see you then?" Jack asked hopefully.
"I'm going to do some research. But, the best bet is when Fin turns eighteen, I'm afraid." Lee replied.
"He said he'll look into it, but it boils down to your best chance being when I turn eighteen." Fin stated.
Watching the petite Unicorn all over Jack, Fin felt uncomfortable.
"I’m going home," Fin said, standing up. He hadn’t finished telling Jack about Alistair, but one dream wasn’t much. Turning to the pink-haired Unicorn, he asked, "Since I’m the...C.M. or whatever, do you have to stay with me all the time or can you come and go?"
"We can roam anywhere we please. But, just note that we will be around until you choose one of us at eighteen." Lee warned.
"What? I have to choose one of you by the time I'm eighteen?” Fin burst out. “Don't I have a choice to not choose anyone?"
Lee gave Fin the most serious expression he could muster. "If you don't choose one of us, we will all die." He stated dramatically.
"Are you serious? All of you will die if I don't choose one? How does that even work?" Fin rambled as he began to pace around the room.
"That's how it is." Lee concluded.
"Tch! Whatever, I guess I'll deal with it in two years’ time." Fin decided. "I'll see you tomorrow, Jack. Try not to let him rape you."
"Can't rape the willing," Jack called with a laugh as his friend escaped the room.
