11 Chapter Eleven

Raven's heart raced questioning if what he just heard was in fact his name or was his mind just messing with him now. He knew there wasn't an easy substitute for his name to convince himself that Carson said something else at that moment.

There was no doubt going through his mind that somehow he was recognized. Everything he feared would happen did and the panic started to rise to the surface causing it difficult for Raven to focus on the more current situation he was in.

Shaking his head to rid himself of these thoughts he had to try to rationalize what he just did or he would lose himself before he could even get answers. After a moment he remembered that Carson was clearly drinking earlier. Though it was a stretch he pushed himself to believe that Carson too had drank too much at the lounge and if anything he could convince Carson of this later.

Looking down in his lap where Carson's head laid peacefully as if he had just fallen asleep in his own bed. No matter how Raven looked at him, he just couldn't fool himself to believe Carson drank enough to pass out. Just like Jewels it was like the lights went out right after they shared a moment.

His eyes stop on Carson's lips wondering if the heat that left him had anything to do with becoming unconscious. He was almost positive that the pain went through their lips and wondered if Carson now felt this pain. This upset him to think that he would cause people the same pain he felt just through a kiss.

Even so he couldn't be certain this was the case. Carson showed no visible signs of pain and he knew he didn't feel this pain before when he kissed Jewels. Not sure what the cause of the pain was now or where it went the only similarities they shared was the fact that both went into deep sleep afterwards.

The reminder of both their lips on his own played through like a movie scene within his mind against his will. Causing him to smack his forehead and rub it viciously like this were to magically erase the memories by force. It was a useless effort that only caused pain to his forehead. The memories were not leaving him so easily, even if he tried by force.

His first two experiences were not only stolen from him but they were taken by the girl he had a crush on and best friend. These two were the only people he ever grew attachments to even letting them close in his life, yet he felt now they took advantage of it.

Scoffing he became angry with these thoughts dragging his hand across his face starting to feel sick of the stale air he was sharing with the man he was so angry at.

"Worst birthday ever" He grumbled with a cracking in his voice feeling defeated.

Taking a moment he noticed the sound of his voice just then had changed again, it sounded just like him from before, not much deeper but it was still masculine. Reaching up he quickly brought his hands to his chest and moved them frantically around.

Raven became overwhelmed with joy, he was a male once more. Giving out a relieved chuckle he rested his head back to the door content with the thoughts that he was back to normal, no longer angry that Carson kissed him. He knew he had just taken what felt like a lot of Carson's energy to be this way but even so he was too overjoyed to care what this meant for either of them.

Wondering when this happened his relieved state of mind was short lived. Unlike before, he had changed back to a male sooner and without any warning. When he changed into a girl he was certain it was after he had gotten sick on the sidewalk and expected the same thing would happen again. So now he didn't know what to think since he didn't go through that experience again.

The realization that it probably happened when the heat had left him meant that when he pulled back and yelled at him. Carson said his name because he clearly saw Raven in front of him.

Raven again felt this sinking turn in the pit of his stomach. This worry of being discovered bothered Raven more than anything else. In a frustrated attempt to think his way out of being discovered he pushed his fingers through his hair and scratched at his head messing up his hair aggressively. Though this did nothing useful, it somehow helped Raven to loosen up and relax a bit as if messing up the curly red hair allowed oxygen to pass through his brain.

All this vibrating motion going down Raven's body caused Carson to let out a groan pushing his face more into Raven's lap as if it were a convenient pillow.

This made Raven jerk sending a chill up his spine not used to having this much physical contact with his body. Before he was sure that Carson was unconscious but now that he moved being able to let out a noise it worried Raven that he would be waking up soon.

Their position was a less than desirable situation for Raven making it easy to connect the dots that he was the one that Carson kissed in that very room. Looking around the room they sat in the narrowest part and Raven was cornered against the door. There was no easy way to just roll Carson from him.

Since Carson was a guy twice Raven's size he also didn't know how he was going to manage getting back to their room. For a moment he debated on leaving Carson in the laundry room as a sort of revenge for kissing him but he couldn't bring himself to be so cold towards Carson.

"A succubus must not be a creature with luck on their side." He sighs out thinking to himself aloud.

Taking a moment he needed to think. After a few moments passed he realized exactly what needed to be done for him to get free. Since it was only his waist and legs trapped under Carson's upper body he figured it would be rather easy to just stand up from under him.

Taking extra precaution he took his time and slowly worked his leg out from under Carson by lifting on his shoulders one side at a time. All while he was moving each leg out to cause as little motion as possible afraid to wake him at that moment. With his legs stretched open and mostly out from under Carson. He felt even more uncomfortable than before from the placement of Carson's face.

Supporting his legs up he pressed his back against the door and lifted Carson's shoulders preparing to push and slide himself up. Once he began to slide he was almost off the floor when Carson's head was no longer supported by the fabric of Raven's pants. It turned out Raven didn't have that great of a hold on Carson after all and his shoulders slipped from Raven's grasp.

Unable to catch Carson being such a short drop it was no use, his face directly hit the floor.

"Crap" Raven blurted covering his mouth quickly regretting it.

He jerked back moving as far away as he could up against the door hoping he didn't wake him just then.

With this impact Carson let out a groan from the pain moving his face making Raven become tense waiting for Carson to get up from the floor but it didn't come.

Letting out a sigh looking back there was no sign of there being a change happening either, "Good thing you have a thick head" Raven muttered his insult in relief.

Raven narrowed his brow as he knelt down reaching out to Carson's face becoming a bit concerned thinking about how Carson was usually a light sleeper. It was strange for Raven to see Carson making noise but not waking up even if he was truly unconscious.

Bringing his hand across Carson's forehead he pushed the small amount of dark brown hair that touched his face out of the way to reveal the red bump already beginning to show. Carson let out another groan narrowing his brow to Raven's touch that grazed over the hurt spot. Raven just couldn't figure this out, it appeared like Carson was merely sleeping like he would normally though he wouldn't wake at all. This would appear to be great news but still he wondered just how much Carson was able to sleep through.

Raven looked back at the door then to Carson he knew now if Carson woke up he could lie his way out their situation, no longer being under him. Though he hated the idea of it he needed to see how much he could do before he would wake up.

Taking the hand on Carson's face he flattens it out resting the palm of his hand on his cheek and begins to shake his hand a bit.

"Hey, wake up" He ordered in a not too loud voice not wanting to draw attention from the outside but loud enough to be heard by a normal sleeping person.

There was no response not even a groan that registered he heard Raven's voice. Raven moved his hand back up to the red mark on his forehead and pushed his finger into the center moving Carson's head. As he expected he let out a groan and pained expression appeared on Carson's face.

Raven leaned his face in getting closer so that his voice would be louder in Carson's ear alone, "Carson!" He quickly shouted then sat back.

There was no movement again, this made Raven even more curious bringing his hand up he raised it high and brought it down in a swift motion. The impact of his hand with Carson's cheek echoed through the room followed by the grunt showing that he clearly registered the pain. Raven went even further and pulled on Carson's hair lifting his head slightly then allowing it to drop.

This slight amount of torture caused a little smirk to cross Raven's lips thinking about how he could do so much as a form of revenge at that very moment but he held back. Letting out a sigh he looked down to the floor wondering just how he was going to get Carson out of this room in his state. Looking back to Carson he knew he had no other choice but to carry him from this room to theirs.

"Okay..." Raven decided he'd go head and start trying now before it got any later. Standing up to his feet he turned to the door to open it up and found that there wasn't enough space between the door and Carson.

With a grunt Raven stepped over Carson almost jumping at one point to get to his feet. Kneeling down he grasped Carson's ankles and lifted them to his waste. Pulling as hard as he could he barely moved him a inch.

"This is going to suck" He grunted realizing just how heavy his friend was when he was unable to support his own weight.

Raven jerks one more time using all his strength in one go only to find that Carson's shoe slipped from his foot losing Raven's grip around his ankle. All at once Raven lost his balance and still having ahold of one leg his feet slide towards Carson while he fell backwards unable to catch himself.

With a hard thud to the ground he grunted in pain and rolled getting Carson's noxious feet from his face. He rubbed the back of his head finding this to be something he deserved for intentionally messing with Carson just then.

"Ow" He whimpered looking back to Carson with a huff.
