Pure Lights
Chapter 2- Pure Light Training


Dean started to wake up, hearing two female voices that seemed very
familiar to him. He opened his eyes to see who it was. He saw Myra
explaining more about the pure lights, and why they exist to Crystal. Dean
started coughing and both ladies looked at Dean. To see if he was doing
okay, Crystal went and put her arms around his neck. "I'm so glad that
you're doing okay." Crystal started to whimper just a little.

"You had us all scared there Dean. You even scared Matthew, which is
something that I have never seen with him my entire angel life." Myra sat
down beside Dean.

"What happened? I can't remember a thing from when that dark light came and
was about to strike Matthew." Dean rubbed his head.

	"From what Matthew had told us, you had somehow called on the other
two pure light powers. You sent something at the dark light that vanquished
him. After that you collapsed." Myra explained what had happened last
night.

	"I did what?" Dean was in total shock.

	"You possessed and called for the other two light powers. I think
that they call it a triple pure light. I just heard about it when we got
here on the island. I didn't think that it was possible for any pure light
to have the combination of all three. But I guess you proved that wrong to
me." Myra laughed and tried to comfort Dean.

"Where's Matt?" Dean asked.

"He said that he had to speak with another angel named Nathaniel. He said
he wouldn't be too long." Crystal explained.

The door opened and all three of them focused their attention at a male
with long black hair. Matthew soon followed behind. "Crystal, Myra this is
Nathaniel." Matthew introduced the black haired male.

	Matthew then looked over at Dean to notice that he had awakened. A
look of relief came upon Mathew's face when he saw that Dean was all
right. "I take it then this is Dean, the new triple pure light?" Nathaniel
asked.

"That would be me, it's nice to meet you." Dean extended his hand to
Nathaniel.

Nathaniel shook Dean's hand. When Nathaniel held his hand, Dean heard
Nathaniel's voice in his head. "You are strong there pure light, to come
out of the situation that you were in. What triggered the rest of the
lights to surface? You don't mind if I look inside your mind for the
memories do you?" Nathaniel asked for permission.

"Not at all, I'm curious myself to know what happened." Dean sent back.

	Nathaniel started probing Dean's memories of last night. The
memories flashed inside this mind as if he was reliving them, but he didn't
feel any pain. Then just as the dark light was about to kill Matthew,
memories that he didn't remember appeared. Dean saw that his eyes became
full of light and that he was embodied in light. Dean saw that he had sent
something at the dark light. He heard the dark light scream as death took
over. "I see now what triggered them, pure light. You're thoughts right
before the other lights appeared is what triggered them." Nathaniel
reported the findings.

Dean suddenly remembered what he was thinking perfectly clear. "I didn't
want to see him die before my eyes. He had saved my life from those darkies
the night before and I wanted to repay him for that." Dean sent his message
to Nathaniel.

"It's more then that pure light, deep in your heart you love this angel,
even if you just met him, and that love had shown within your heart. Your
soul wanted to protect him from any harm. Your mind wanted to reach out to
him with comfort. That's why you were able to summon the other lights. But
I will not tell anyone of your feelings towards him. You have to find out
for yourself if you truly love him." Nathaniel finished his message.

Nathaniel got up, and looked at Matthew. "He gave me permission to probe
his memory of last night. He was meant to be a triple pure light all
along. It was just that the other powers where still dormant. It took that
event to awaken them within him. You are very lucky to have him as your
pure light brother Matthew." Nathaniel put his hand on Matthew's shoulder.

"I am very lucky to have him as a pure light." Matthew replied back.

"Matthew can I see you out in the hall?" Nathaniel asked.

"Sure. I'll be right back guys, keep an eye on him." Matthew asked the two
ladies.

When the door closed, Crystal looked at Dean, "So you were meant to be a
triple pure light. That almost explains everything."


Out in the hall Nathaniel communicated mentally to Matthew. "I feel
something in you Matthew. Something stirs within you, since last night."

	Matthew was a little unprepared for what message he had
received. "To tell you the truth Nathaniel, I'm starting to have feelings
for my pure light. I did a lot of thinking on the trip here." Matthew went
back to Nathaniel.

	"He saved your life, just as you saved his. He was very grateful
for that and wanted to repay you." Nathaniel added, "But I must go and fill
out this in a report. Take care of him Matthew, for you'll need each other
in the end."

	Matthew went back into his and Dean's room. The room went quiet for
a moment.  "What's with all the silence?" Matthew asked, "Can I ask you to
lovely ladies to leave me and Dean alone so him and I can talk?"

	Crystal was about to rebel when Myra sent a message in her head.
Crystal hugged Dean one more time. "I'll see ya at training okay."

Dean nodded his head yes. The two left and Matthew sat at the end of the
bed. Dean then looked at him and saw tears form in his eyes. "Dean,"
Matthew paused, "I want to tell ya something. I want to thank you for
saving my life from that dark light last night."

Dean felt compelled to comfort him. He moved over to Matthew, taking
Matthew and leaning him against his body. Matthew put his arms around Dean,
letting his tears fall. The light from Dean's heart glowed between them and
let out a warm glow, calming Matthew down. Matthew then sensed Dean's love
for him from the glow. Matthew sat straight up and looked at Dean. Both
looked at each other and moved their heads towards each other. Their lips
locked, causing all three lights to shine warmly. This time his eyes didn't
fill with light. "This is why the other two powers surfaced. Nathaniel told
me it was my heart that loved you, my soul that wanted to protect you from
harm, and my mind that wanted to comfort you. It was because of you that
all three lights surfaced." Dean admitted.

Matthew just looked at him. "On the way here I started to think. My own
emotions for you grew even stronger then my guardian instincts of
protecting you. I couldn't quite place it. But after seeing you glowing
with radiance, I felt something for you before you collapsed. I was so
confused I didn't know what to say." Matthew admitted.

"Well now that we know we care for one another, what next?" Dean asked as
he stroked his hands over Matthew's left arm.

"Take things one step at a time. We just can't jump into something, even if
it is our destiny. I want to get to know you better. My heart tells me
that. We just met and things are going so fast, we both need to take time
and relax and really think about things first." Matthew replied.

"You're right, take things slow. I really don't know anything about you,
and vice versa." Dean thought about how old Matthew was, "Just exactly how
old are you?"

Matthew turned crimson, "Don't freak out on me but I'm 1126 years old."

"Damn! I wouldn't of even guessed, cause you don't look more then 25, or
26!" Dean was astonished.

With Dean's remark Matthew glowed a little more red. "Well would you like
to see some of the sights here?" Matthew asked as he patted Dean's leg.

"Doesn't sound like a bad idea, besides it would do me some good, so I'm
not thinking about what happened last night." Dean stood up and waited for
Matthew.

Matthew stood up and grabbed Dean's hand. Both squeezed each other's hands
and left their room. The first place they went was to the temple of
light. The scenery while walking there just mystified Dean. Dean thought it
looked like a paradise. Matthew just smiled seeing Dean's facial
expressions.

"So, angel, do you have any questions for me?" Dean asked.  Matthew looked
ahead. "Are you for real?" Matthew asked.

A confused look came over Dean's face. Dean then pinched Matthew's
side. "Hey, that hurt." Matthew said in pain.

"Does that answer your question?" Dean was being a smartass and smiled.

"Yeah but it still hurt you know." Matthew was rubbing his side where Dean
had pinched him.

"Here's a question for you. How are you dealing with this life change so
far?" Matthew asked.

This made Dean think a little. "I'm dealing with it as best as I can. Now
that you're in my life things couldn't get much worse. At least I have one
person who I didn't have to leave behind and who will go through this with
me." Dean looked at the trail that they were walking on to get to the
temple.

"What do you think of me then Matthew? Be honest." Dean threw a fast one at
Matthew.

Matthew didn't have to think much about this one, "The other night when you
were cuddled up to me I felt your heart. I sensed courage, compassion, and
loyalty to the people around you. It's something that I've never felt
before and it made me want to experience more."

Dean started to blush. "Is that all?"

	"Oh and this." Matthew swiftly pulled Dean's head towards his and
kissed him on the lips, "How was that?"

Dean was caught off guard for a moment. "That was good, for an amateur."
Dean giggled.

"Would you two just get a room!" They heard Crystal's voice behind them.

"Have you been eavesdropping all this time?" Dean looked back at her.

"Yes, we have!" She replied back.

"We?" Matthew just saw Crystal.

Myra came out of her hiding spot and looked ashamed. "Myra? You snooping?
This is a first." Matthew laughed.

"Well, are you guy's lovers or not?" Crystal asked.

"We're just...Hey! Why is it your business to know what we are?" Dean was
about to tell them, and then he thought it was a little rude that she'd
butt into their business.

"Cause I'm your friend and friends tell things like this." Crystal replied.

"Yeah when the other person isn't around. That room does sound good about
now." Dean started to get a little steamed.

Matthew sent a message to Dean. "If that's what you want is privacy hold on
tight, cause we're flying to the temple."

Matthew spread his wings and picked Dean up and carried him off to the
temple. "Hey! Come back here!" Crystal was upset.

"It may be best if we leave them alone. How would you like it if someone
rudely interrupted your privacy?" Myra pointed out.

"I'm sorry Myra, you're right. It's just that Dean is the only one that I
know of that I didn't have to leave behind." Crystal started to cry.

Crystal leaned against Myra's chest. Myra put her arms around her and
combed her fingers through Crystal's hair, trying to calm her down. "I know
that it must be hard for you. Both you and Dean, but things will get
better, trust me. Cry good tonight, cause you'll need your wits about you
when you start training tomorrow."

Crystal wiped her tears away, "You're right. I need to stand strong, cause
after all I'm a pure light." She put a smile on her face.

"That's the spirit, don't lose that. It's a part of you. There will be time
to talk to Dean about things, just like I'll have time to talk to Matthew,
and then we can gossip to each other about it okay?" Myra put a smile on as
well.

"Agreed." Crystal shook Myra's hand.


At the temple, Matthew put Dean down. Matthew then joined him. "This place
is amazing." Dean commented as he looked at the Temple.

"It has been here for ages; surprisingly it hasn't lost its shape one bit."
Matthew spoke.

"You're telling me." Another voice said.

	Dean looked to his right and saw a short tan, strawberry blond
male. He was about six-foot tall, with an average body build. "Oh sorry for
interrupting. My name is Zach. This is my angel David." Zach introduced
himself to the two.

"Hello." David nodded his head.

"Hi, I'm Dean, and this is my angel Matthew." Dean introduced him and
Matthew.

David was a slender angel, and had a little less muscle then what Matthew
had. He had dark blue eyes and wavy black hair that went past his
shoulders.

"What pure light are you? I'm a soul pure light." Zach asked Dean.

"I'm a triple pure light. I started out being a heart pure light, until
last night." Dean stated.

"A triple pure light?" Zach was a little confused.

"It means he possess the lights of mind, heart and soul." David explained.

Zach's expression on his face changed to confusion to total
amazement. "That's cool! Are you guys a couple? I saw you hold hands just a
second ago." Zach got a little blunt.

Dean and Matthew looked at each other and blushed. David put his hand over
his face to cover his embarrassment. "Sorry, he can get a little blunt."
David explained.

"Excuse me! I can get a little blunt, how about giving me more credit then
that." Zach nudged David in the ribs.

Both Matthew and Dean laughed. "See what you did? They're laughing at us."
Zach started yelling.

David put his hand over Zach's mouth. "Sorry, he's very high strung too."

"Don't worry about it, and yes you can kind of say that we are a couple."
Dean smiled.

"Cool, so are we." Zach took David's hand away from his mouth.

"When did you discover your powers Zach?" Dean asked.

"About a month ago, isn't that right honey?" Zach looked at David, "It's
about our month anniversary together."

"Congratulations to you both. You seem very happy together." Matthew
commented.

"Thanks, he is a little high maintenance, but I can stand him most of the
time." David spilled.

"What! High maintenance? You love me for that though." Zach kissed David on
the lips.

"Well, it's getting a little dark, Zach we should be getting back. You have
training tomorrow." David put his arms on Zach's shoulder.

"It was nice meeting you guys. I'll see you at training Dean." Zach said as
David and him left.

Matthew and Dean waved bye. Dean leaned into Matthew, "If I ever get that
high maintenance, knock some sense into me please!"

Matthew couldn't contain his laughter. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you
don't get that way." Matthew kissed Dean's head, "Well it is getting dark,
and we should head in and call it a night. He's right you have training
tomorrow. You're going to be sore, and tire. You should get as much rest as
you can."

Dean agreed with Matthew and they flew back to their room. Each pure light
and angel had their own little cabin. They were furnished with a kitchen,
bathroom, two bedrooms, and a living room with a wonderful view of the
ocean. The living room looked down at the beach. There was a fireplace in
towards the bedroom wall. The floor was made of ceramic tiles. The
furniture was arranged so that they faced the fireplace, which had a flat
screen TV over the mantle. Matthew let Dean have the master bedroom. Dean
felt guilty about having the big room all to himself. "You did that at your
place, and I insist you take the master bedroom, or at least join me." Dean
didn't give up until he got his way.

Matthew gave in to satisfy Dean. "If this is how you are sometimes, I have
to reconsider this very carefully." Matthew smiled as he laid on the bed.

"Reconsider this!" Dean took a pillow and hit him in the face.  Matthew
grabbed the pillow and took it from Dean and pulled him closer. They kissed
passionately. They both started to get hard.

	Dean pulled away, "Remember the rule of angels and what we said
about taking it slow."

	Matthew looked a little disappointed but he knew Dean was
right. "Well, I guess we stay with harmless kissing then." Matthew sighed
as Dean laid next to him.

Dean put his head on Matthew's chest. Hearing the rhythmic beat of his
heart was soothing to Dean. He slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning they woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the
door. Dean grumbled as he went to answer the door. When he opened the door
he saw Zach. "Oh so you're our neighbors? Well David I guess we don't have
to introduce ourselves to the neighbors. It's Dean and Matthew." Zach
called out to David.

David slowly made his way to the door. "Sorry about this morning
disturbance. We were taking a walk, and he just came over here." David felt
guilty that Zach woke them up.

"It's no problem, come on in." Dean welcomed them inside.

"Wow, this place is almost like ours." Zach looked around.

"Just a moment, I'll get dressed and get Matthew. We can all have a cup of
coffee." Dean yawned and headed to the bedroom.

David and Zach sat on one of the couches. "What do you think of them
David?" Zach put his hand on David's lap.

"They look like a sweet couple. They seem to be good guys, but there is
something strange about them though. When we where around them last night I
felt more at peace and calm like I've never experienced before. It's odd to
describe, but maybe it's just me." David put his arms around Zach.

A few minutes later Dean and Matthew came out of the room Dean looking more
awake. "Good morning." Matthew yawned as he and Dean went into the kitchen.

"Do you guys like coffee?" Dean asked as he looked in the cupboard.

"I would like some water if that is okay." David spoke up.

"I'll take some coffee." Zach added.

"A fellow caffeine drinker." Dean's voice lightened up.

"Like he needs all that caffeine. He's rambunctious as it is." David
remarked.

Matthew and Dean couldn't help but smile, trying not to laugh. Matthew went
to the living room and gave David a glass of water. David was starting to
take a drink of the water when Zach asked, "Matthew how old are you?"

	This caused David to spray the water out of his mouth. "Are you
okay David?" Zach looked at him in shock.

Dean and Matthew just busted up with laughter. David soon joined them. Zach
looked at all of them wondering why they were laughing. "That was a smart
one for me to do." David managed to say.

"That's okay. To answer your question Zach, I'm 1,126." Matthew's laughter
calmed down a bit.

"You're almost the same age as David; he's only 1,123." Zach mentioned,
"But he doesn't look an age past 28 to me."

"Oh thank you for making me feel old!" David sarcastically spoke.

"You know me babe, I love older men." Zach patted David's knee.

David just rolled his eyes. "Anyway, are you ready for training today
Dean?" Zach looked at Dean, who was holding to coffee cups in his hand.

Dean gave Zach a cup. "I'm a little anxious, but that's normal I guess."
Dean put his cup to his lips and sat on the arm of the chair Matthew was
sitting in.

"So where did you come from? I came Boston, Mass. I miss it right now,
since it's almost fall. I love the different colors of leaves on the ground
and on the trees. It just makes you stop and think that there is
tranquility in this world." Zach explained where he was from.

"I'm from Aurora." Dean answered back.

"That's cool! I love the mountains as well. We should go to the Rockies
some time David."  Zach said that he looked over at David.

"It would be nice to see the mountains of the western part of the states."
David agreed with Zach.

"Well, thanks for the coffee, but we should let you guys be, so you can get
ready for today's events." Zach put his cup on the coffee table that was in
front of him and got up.

"I'll see ya later at the training grounds." David waved bye as they showed
themselves to the door.

"Well, that was a nice wake up call." Matthew just looked at the door.

"I don't know about you, but I'm taking a shower. If you wanna join it's up
to you." Dean grabbed the other mug and glasses and put them in the sink.

"That's sounds like an idea. Wash up before we get even more sweaty and
stinky." Matthew sarcastically remarked.

"It's your choice, but if you're going to get another kiss from me today,
you might want to rethink that." Dean tried to put a guilt trip on him.

Matthew just looked at Dean, and was starting to rethink what he said.
"Get the water started I'll be in there in just a moment." Matthew gave in.

"And remember don't try anything funny, I'm binding you to your promise
from yesterday." Dean mentioned as he turned on the water and started to
undress.

Matthew came into the bathroom shortly thereafter with a robe around
him. "Come in the water won't bite, but I might." Dean said to Matthew with
a sheepish grin.

The shower door was made of glass that was fogged up with the vapors of the
hot water. Matthew took off his robe and got in the shower. "Here, you're
just in time to scrub my back." Dean tossed him a bar of soap.

Matthew lathered up the soap in hand and started to clean Dean's back. Dean
was soaking his hair with the falling water. This was the first time
Matthew was in the shower with another man. He started to get hard just
rubbing Dean's back. He started to massage Dean's back. Dean complied with
a couple of moans. "Okay let's switch before anything else happens." Dean
took the soap from Matthew's hand and traded places with him.

Seeing Matthew's hard on got Dean a little hard as well. He tried to
contain his thought of taking Matthew right then and there. The water and
the soap weren't helping any either. Matthew turned around and noticed that
Dean was rock solid. Dean leaned against Matthew and gave him a
kiss. Matthew replied back by kissing more passionately. "Is this
considered harmless kissing?" Dean laughed.

"I think it does, we're doing nothing else but kissing." Matthew grinned.

Both of them got out of the shower and dried each other off, thinking of
what they wanted to do to each other. But at the same time still thinking,
take things slow. They both liked looking at each bodies. Then they started
getting dressed, Dean put on a pair of shorts, then pair of sweat pants
over those. He then put on one of Matthew's muscle shirts. Matthew put on a
T-shirt and a pair of shorts. "Ready to go then?" Matthew asked Dean.

"Let's go." Dean led the way to the door.

When they got to the training field they met up with Crystal and Myra.  "So
how did the night treat you guys?" Myra asked.

"Treated us descent. We had a nice alarm this morning." Dean remarked.

"What do you mean?" Crystal asked.

"Hello Dean, Matt. You don't mind me calling you Matt do you?" Zach draped
his arms around Matthew and Dean.

"Myra, Crystal, this is Zach. Zach this is Crystal and her angel
Myra. Crystal is my friend that came with me here. She found out she was a
pure light about the time I did." Dean introduced everyone.

"Nice to meet you ladies." Zach winked at both of them.

"Where's David?" Matthew asked.

"He's somewhere around here. Probably warming up. He's that way. He doesn't
like to be stiff and all that stuff when it involves any physicality." Zach
said.

"Is there something wrong with that?" David said. They looked behind them
and saw David in biker shorts, without a shirt.

Matthew and Dean saw how fit David was. "Oh my he's hot, but not as hot as
Matthew is." Dean thought to himself, not thinking that he sent it to
Matthew.

"Thanks for that comment. You're not bad looking yourself." Matthew sent
back.

Dean turned all shades of red. Matthew could only grin.

There were other pure lights and angels at the field. "So many pure lights
here." Crystal looked at most of them.

"Okay can I have everyone's attention?" Nathaniel's voice carried for all
to hear.

Everybody gathered around Nathaniel, who was wearing sweats. "I want to
introduce to you my partner Siora." Nathaniel introduced Siora, "She is
going to train all of you in the art of combat, and defense. Listen to her
carefully. As for those who don't know who I am, I'm Nathaniel. I'll be
teaching you how to use your light powers. We will divide everyone into two
groups. The "a" group will stand to my left and the "b" group will stand to
Siora's right. Now for all those who hear my message in their mind are
group "a". Those who hear Siora's voice are group "b"." Nathaniel
instructed and sent his massage.

The group divided into their groups. Dean and Zach went and stood by
Nathaniel. Crystal went and stood by Siora. "What a bummer," Crystal put a
pouting face on, "I wanted to be with Dean."

"Okay now we start our training." Nathaniel announced.

	Nathaniel turned to his group of pure lights. "Okay first off we
shall introduce ourselves to everyone. As all of you now know I am
Nathaniel. I'm in charge of everything that goes on here on the island. Now
I want you to introduce yourselves, you just tell us your name and what
pure lights you are, and what level, like a double pure light or for
example Dean Allison here is a triple pure light, which is the most
powerful, and rare of all-pure lights." Nathaniel pointed to Dean.

Most of the people in the group looked at Dean. Dean took this opportunity
to further introduce himself, "Like Nathaniel said I am Dean Allison, I am
a triple pure light and this is my angel Matthew."

Every one introduced themselves after Dean. There was a longhaired brunette
named Sarah she was pure light of the soul. And a long blond haired surfer
named Davis. He was a double pure light of the mind and heart. Zach
introduced himself last.

"Okay today we are going to learn how to use your light powers to defend
yourselves, in case you confront a dark light. You all can produce a beam
of light, all you have to do is concentrate and focus your light power in
your hand and a beam will be sent to your target. For target practice we
are going to use bolt stones that can with stand the power of light beams."
Nathaniel pointed to his left.

"Who wants to try first?" Nathaniel looked at all his pupils.

Feeling confident, Dean volunteered. "Good, now remember focus and
concentrate on directing your light power to your hands." Nathaniel
reminded Dean.

"If he only knew that Matthew had already told him how too, and that I had
already used it." Dean smiled, and got a message from Matthew.

"Don't get over confident Dean. Remember you must focus and concentrate."
Matthew scolded him in his mental message.

Dean sighed and took a big breath. He put his right hand up and aimed it at
one of the big squared stones in front of him. He concentrated and sent a
beam of light at the stone. "Very good Dean. Now who's next?" Nathaniel
asked.

Zach went after that and sent it in the air not hitting the stone. Davis
then tried. The other two produced beams and sent them at the rocks, either
hitting the stone or something else. "Don't feel bad if you didn't hit the
stones. In time you'll work on your targeting skills. The next lesson is
how to shield yourself from an attack, like rocks, and whatever a dark
light uses against you. All you have to do is have your arms wide open. You
then direct your light so that light flows from one hand to the other. In
time you can use your mind to create a shield without using your hands. But
this is simple for now. Now I'll send a beam of light at you and you block
it from coming close to you." Nathaniel explained.

Nathaniel first sent a beam at Sarah. Sarah formed a beam of light between
her arms that extended into a flat surface, which stopped the beam from
Nathaniel.

Dean was up next. A beam shot towards Dean. Dean concentrated and put a
circular shield up in front of him.

Davis stood ready and Nathaniel sent another beam at him. Davis produced an
upside down triangle.

Zach's turn was up and when Nathaniel sent a beam of light at him, he
produced an oblong shaped shield. "Now I want you to pair off with your
angel and practice sending a beam of light and shielding. I'll come around
and help you out with any pointers." Nathaniel instructed.

	They all paired off and started what they where told. Nathaniel was
behind the pure lights watching their accuracy and movement. He went to
Sarah, "Sarah you're left handed are you not?" Nathaniel asked.

"Yes I am." Sarah answered back, "Do you want me to use my left hand more
often?"

Nathaniel smiled, "You read my mind. Try it out and if it works out more,
you could have more accuracy on your target."

He looked at Zach. "Zach, I see you're concentrating too hard. Relax and
calm down. Being so tense will defer you from your objective."

"Davis, your posture could use a little more work. That's why you're beams
are going low. Try standing up straight." Nathaniel straightened Davis'
back for him.

Nathaniel looked at Dean and Matthew. He sent a message at Matthew, "He's
doing good so far. But that isn't unusual for any triple light that I've
trained before. Have you told him about yourself? About being a pure light
angel?"

This distracted Matthew from his concentration that he put his shield down,
and Dean's beam knocked him backwards. Dean stood there
horrified. Nathaniel ran over to Matthew, Dean soon followed. Matthew sat
up to tell them that he was okay, but a little dizzy. "Are you okay
Matthew?" Dean was in hysterics.

"I'm okay, I should have been paying more attention. All I seem to have is
a bump on my head and a few minor scratches. Other then that nothing
broken." Matthew reassured Dean.

Relief came over Dean's face. "I'm sorry for talking to you Matthew. I
scared myself, and most importantly Dean. I should of known better. Please
except my apology." Nathaniel sent another message to Matthew.

Matthew smiled and nodded. They practiced for another hour, then they were
sent to lunch. "I'm famished!" Dean heard his stomach, as they got into
their cabin.

"Let's have sandwiches and chips." Matthew said opening the fridge to get
the bread and lunchmeat.

"That's sounds good. As long as it's food I will be satisfied." Dean's
mouth started watering with the thought of food.

"We could eat outside, it's nice day out." Matthew suggested.

	"Yes it is, let's do. We have a patio off the bedroom." Dean said
as he agreed with Matthew.

They made some sandwiches and went outside. They had a nice peaceful break
as they ate and looked at the beach. They went and laid down on a bench,
Dean on top of Matthew, with his eyes closed. Dean looked up at Matthew and
sensed that something was troubling him. "Whatcha thinking about?" Dean
asked.

Matthew looked down at him. "I just have a headache from when I hit the
ground. Nothing to worry about, I'll just take some aspirin before we go
back." Matthew smiled.

When they got back the groups switched instructors. "Hello everyone." Siora
smiled, "Like we discussed earlier I'll train you on hand to hand combat,
just in case your powers don't seem to be effective. We'll start out with
the basics. This will also tune your mind as well as your body, so don't
over do things. We don't want anyone to get hurt."

The rest of the session they learned some maneuvers on blocking, hitting,
rolling, and recovering from an attack. By the time they were finished for
the day it was about 3 in the afternoon. Dean's muscles started to ache all
over from all the physical activity learning the maneuvers. "I didn't know
I had so many muscles." Dean was groaning as he laid on Matthew's lap.

Dean smelled the air. There was a musty smell that made him scrunch up his
face. He smelt his armpits and made a sour face. Then he smelt Matthew and
found out he was in the same condition. "Okay, you and I are going to hit
the shower. We both stink and I'm not going to stay like this. If you want
to sleep in the same bed as me, well you get my point." Dean got up and
went to get undressed.

They both took a shower, helping each other getting rid of the smelly sweat
that poured over their body. After taking their shower, Dean laid down for
a nap. Matthew told Dean he was going for a walk.

The sun started to set, and Dean woke up from his nap feeling refreshed
from the day's training. He went to look for Matthew. He started to get a
little worried when he couldn't find him. So he sent messages to Matthew
telepathically, but no replies. He thought to contact Nathaniel. When he
got a reply from Nathaniel, Nathaniel said that Matthew had been talking to
him about something. "There was something I said to him today, when you
where doing your exercises. It got him to think. But he'll have to tell
you. It's better for him to tell you." Nathaniel finished.

"Thanks Nathaniel, I'll go look for him." Dean sent his last message to
Nathaniel.

It took him awhile, but Dean found Matthew in the garden that was outside
the Temple. "Matthew." Dean called out in his mind.

Matthew didn't turn around. Dean started to wonder what caused this mood
shift. He went in front of Matthew, "What is wrong Matthew. Nathaniel told
me that you went to talk to him about something, and that I needed to hear
it from you. Please don't keep things away from me. If we want things to
work out we won't keep any secrets." Dean held Matthew's hands to his
chest.

Matthew looked Dean in the eyes. Dean's eyes looked like they were about to
cry, and Matthew smiled. Matthew sat down on the stone bench. He motioned
Dean to sit down beside him. Matthew took a deep breath.
