A/N: Another story that is long overdue to be posted.
Disclaimer: Yes, I believe wholeheartedly Viggo and Orlando had this great epic love affair. But I don't have any proof what-so-ever, therefore, this story is a complete fabrication.
Feedback: Yes please, greatly encouraged.

The outside of the house was eerily dark and quite, Orlando could see the inside was as well. Eric usually did not go to bed until Orlando was safely in the house. Orlando hoped he was lucky tonight...

After he pulled his keys out to unlock the door, he was a little startled to find it was already unlocked. He peered in cautiously, thinking whether or not he should call the cops. He was happy to see his friends but he couldn’t have been that happy that he forgot to lock up, he thought.

Before Orlando could reach for his cell, the anxiety nearly vanished when Eric turned on the lamp, "Where have you been?" He asked his eyes looking fiery from the illumination of the lamp as he sat in the corner. Orlando jumped at his dark voice holding his hand over chest, "Jesus, baby, you scared me. Why are you sitting in the dark?" He asked sitting his keys and wallet on the table, stopping in the middle of the living room.

Orlando cowered back when Eric stood up and stalked closer to him, "Well?" Eric asked again residing his harsh tone. Orlando wasn't very fazed by his domineering presence but he humored him nevertheless and backed into the door. "Well what?" Orlando asked innocently as he looked into Eric’s eyes like a frightened child. Eric clenched his fist, "DO NOT mock my intelligence, Orlando, where the hell were you?"

Orlando’s facade turned into a seductive smile as he began to run his hands up Eric’s arms trying to turn on the charm, "Eric, come on." Eric then grabbed his wrists so hard, Orlando thought he was going to rip them from the socket. "Eric, stop! Your hurting me!”

“I'm going to do more then that if you don't quit playing games."

Orlando didn't want to call his bluff, “I was out dancing with Dominic and Elijah." He blurted

He finally loosed his grip on his wrist, but the look in his eyes told Orlando he did not believe that was the end of the story, "You, really do think I'm stupid don't you?"

Orlando raised his eyebrows, "What are you talking about? You can call them and see.” Orlando challenged knowing Eric wouldn’t do it.

Eric was beginning to get more and more fed up with Orlando toying with him. "Enough! Who else were you with?"

Orlando knew who Eric wanted him to say but he still didn’t give in so easily, "Beanie wasn’t there, he’s in Chicago." Orlando played on which caused Eric’s face to turn even more crimson.

He grabbed Orlando’s arm, dragging him upstairs into the bedroom. "Get off me!" Orlando shouted when Eric pinned him down on the bed, placing his knee between Orlando’s thighs. "I swear, Orlando, I'll smash your pretty face in if you don’t say it!"

Unable to move, Orlando finally relented. "Find, Eric. YES! Viggo was there, too." Eric nodded. He wasn’t happy, but satisfied that his abrasive demeanor got Orlando to fess up.

Before he eased off of him Orlando spoke again, "But Karl showed up too." Orlando remarked bitterly, unintentionally showing Eric the disappointment in his voice. Orlando saw Eric get agitated again and didn’t want him to dwell on the comment too much. Orlando attempted to get off the subject fast and there was only one way to do that.

He ran his hands up Eric’s cheeks, “Come on, Babe, it’s me and I’m here with you. You have nothing to worry about.” Eric took Orlando wrists, “Are you, Orli, are you really here with me?” Eric asked, he wasn’t stupid but Orlando always got to him, always attempted to make him forget where his heart was really at. And Eric always let him.

Orlando gave him a sweet smile causing Eric to ease his restraint on his wrist and Orlando pulled his shirt out his pants, and then loosened his belt. Eric kissed him, wrapping his arms around his head.

Orlando kept telling himself that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing, he loved Eric, he wanted Eric. No, maybe he just needed Eric. But right now he did just need to do this, anything to avoid another argument about Viggo. Orlando tried to keep his mind focused on Eric. He wanted to only think about the way his hands moved on his body, how hot he got when Eric removed his clothes, how his mouth teased Orlando’s skin, how seductively aggressive Eric could be as he yanked down his pants. Orlando moaned as Eric worked his way up to prepare him for the entrance of his cock.

The heat washed over them so fast, Orlando began to become incoherent of his thoughts and Eric’s anger seemed to have vanished as quickly as it came. Eric’s dick felt so good and his body was so hot. Still, this wasn’t Viggo. Orlando hated being torn between loving Viggo and needing Eric, that’s when he knew what he had to do.

*~*~*

Viggo was lying in bed looking at the ceiling next to Karl. He’d been unable to sleep, a custom he’d adopted since he got with Karl. Even though it was long after his breakup with Orlando. Orlando was still very much a part of his heart and thoughts. When the phone ringed, Karl stirred. Viggo looked over at it unsure if he could answer it but how could he not? There was only one person who would be calling this late. He reached over for the phone on the nightstand and when he picked it up all I heard was sobs.

Viggo sat up terrified sitting on the side of the bed, “Orli? What’s wrong?” Orlando sniffled. “Eric kicked me out…” Viggo stood up, “What, why? Never mind, where are you?”

Orlando was silent when he hadn’t thought about where he was going, “Um, driving down sunset boulevard.”

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE?” Viggo shouted, fearful as to why Orlando was on the other side of LA. He looked to Karl who turned on his side at the sound of his voice but his heavy sleeping and snoring kept him in his dead state. Viggo got up and stepped out the room, slowly closing the door behind him, so he could continued to talk to Orlando.

“Vig, I have no where to go, so I’m gonna stay in a hotel tonight.”

Viggo sighed, “No, you're not. You can stay here.”

“Yea, I don’t think so. What about Karl I’d be better off going to Dominic’s and Lij’s.” Orlando said sarcastically, even though he was taking pleasure in the offer from Viggo.

“Why so your face can blow up like a blimp because of your allergies. Look don’t you worry about Karl, I’ll explain everything to him tomorrow. There is no reason for you to be staying in a hotel when I’m right here, you know that.” Orlando was quiet, “You sure it’s ok?” He asked softly.

“Of course.” Viggo replied reassuringly, even though he knew the logical thing would have been to send him somewhere else. The unselfish thing would have been just to tell him no, but he was being selfish. He knew exactly what he was getting into, and he love knowing Orlando needed him.

*~*~*

Karl was sitting at the table eating breakfast that consisted of a bagel, scrambled eggs, and coffee. He widen his eyes when Orlando casually walked in the kitchen, “What the hell is he doing here?” Karl asked turning sharply on Viggo.

Orlando came and stood beside Viggo he kissed him on the cheek, “Morning.” He said. Viggo gave him a wary smile. He didn’t want to show any pleasure he was getting from the kiss to Karl. Especially with the unpleased expression that was contorted across his face.

Orlando directed a smirk towards Karl as he eyed the way Orlando sheltered himself next to Viggo. “I thought you were going to tell him.” Orlando said in an audacious attempt to make it look to Karl as if they were keeping secrets from him.

Karl rose an eyebrow, “Tell me what?” Viggo crossed the kitchen to where Karl sat. Orlando turned to the sink and started washing dishes, but he kept his ears wide open.

“Eric kicked him out last night.” Viggo said softly, putting a bitter taste in Karl’s mouth at the sympathetic tone in Viggo’s voice. Karl then took a sip of his coffee, “Well I’m sure he had a good reason but why is that your problem?”

“He doesn’t have anywhere to go.” Viggo argued much to Karl’s dismay.

“Bullshit, Viggo! There’s Sean’s, Dominic’s and Elijah’s.” Karl replied agitatedly.

“Sean is out of town and he’s allergic to Dom and Elijah’s cat.”

Karl gave an annoyed sigh, not wanting to hear any of Viggo excuses.

“After all this time you still let him make a fool of you when are you going to wake up, Viggo.” Karl stated in an accusatory tone as he rose from the seat storming past Orlando tossing the glass of orange juice he was holding into the sink where Orlando was still washing dishes. The glass broke against the middle of the sink, popping up on Orlando’s hand. Orlando squeaked and jumped back startled. splatters of orange juice in his face. “Ahh.” He screamed. Hoping it was just orange juice and not glass. Viggo ran to him to see blood oozing from the side of his hand. "Oh my God, I'm gonna die." Orlando whined teasingly.

Viggo took his hand examining it, "Oh, stop, your not going to die". Viggo said turning on the cold water. "Here hold it under here while I go get something to clean it with."

Viggo went to the downstairs bathroom and got a towel but saw there was nothing to wrap his cut with. He went back in the kitchen to find Orlando was squatting while holding himself up on the sink, the water seemed to be clearing the wound. Viggo ran his fingers through his curls to let him know he was back. Orlando looked up at him, "It's throbbing, Vig."

"I know." Viggo said pulling him up and turning off the water. He put the towel around his hand, "Maybe I should take you to the hospital."

Orlando gave him a wry smile, "Don't you think you're over exaggerating just a little. All you have to do is kiss it and it will be all better." He teased. Viggo couldn't help but laugh, but still brought Orlando’s hand to his lips kissing his knuckles long enough to satisfy him. Even though, Viggo knew all to well Orlando was never satisfied for long. Viggo reached in the freezer and grabbed and ice pack, took Orlando's hand and led him into the living room. He took the towel from around Orlando’s hand and replaced it with the ice pack, Orlando shivered at the contact but quickly got use to it. Viggo stood up, "Let me go find the first aid kit, I’ll be right back." He said hurrying up the stairs.

Orlando sat on the couch smiling as he watched Viggo leave, he knew it wouldn't be as hard as he thought to make Viggo his again.

*~*~*

Karl was standing in the corner of the room looking out the window when Viggo came in. Viggo glanced at Karl hesitant to say anything to him. He first went to see if the first aid kit was in the medicine cabinet in their master bedroom. He came out empty handed then he looked over by Karl who stood in the corner of the room staring out the window. Viggo went to the night stand where he was standing and opened the drawer by Karl's leg to find the first aid kit there. Karl didn't look at Viggo but he began to speak, "Why do you let him get to you."

Viggo rose up, "What are you talking about?" Viggo asked getting annoyed already.

"He's manipulating you, Viggo, and you always let him." Viggo did not want to get into yet another argue with Karl involving Orlando but he made it impossible not to.

"Yes, he's manipulating me because he meant for you to cause him to cut his hand." He said sarcastically, Karl said nothing and turned back to the window. Viggo shook his head and left.

When Viggo came from upstairs, he entered the living room to see Orlando laying his upper body sideways on the couch with his feet on the floor and holding his sore hand wrapped in the towel by the other. He sat up when Viggo came to sit next to him and took his hand, Viggo smiled at Orlando sympathetically as Orlando laid his head on Viggo's shoulder. Viggo took the neosporin and applied it to Orlando's hand before wrapping it with the bandages. "See doesn't that feel better." Orlando nodded, "You always know how to make me feel better, Vig." He gave him an endearing kiss on the cheek. Viggo blushed and put his arm on the back of the couch behind Orlando's head. Orlando laid his head on Viggo's chest feeling himself getting sleepy. Even though he’d just woken up he’d already had a pretty eventful morning. Viggo looked down at Orlando brushing the curls out his eyes, he smiled at him with all the love his heart could implore.

Karl peered down at them from the balcony upstairs. He gripped the banister, the gaze that was on the two men below was so piecing it was a wonder they didn’t feel prickles on their skin. Karl felt a tinge in his chest, it was happening again, he thought. Viggo was falling into Orlando's trap, and history was about to repeat itself...

Very interesting start...

So Karl and Eric are just some substitute lovers, Orlando is a commitment-phobic and Viggo is a big victim of Orlando's?

I'm looking forward to finding more of this fic.
Thank you for sharing xx
