Snippets of Forever

Waking in Duo's arms was always the same a curious mixture of protection and danger that some how seemed right. It wasn't a feeling he allowed to show on his face as he slowly let his eyes open. The few secrets he was allowed to keep were precious. They were the only place he had left to hide his true self. The sun had descended completely by now and only the light of the reigning moon blessed the earth with its kiss. Eerily there were no stars tonight it was almost as if they were hiding their own flashes of light so the light of the blood red moon seemed brighter. It was then that he remembered the sun had set before Duo had even returned. Had Duo really whispered those soft words? It didn't matter. He knew that he wasn't suppose to hear them.

"I know you're awake my pet."

"Hai."

"I told you that you would have to be punished."

"But..."

"No buts. You flagrantly disrespected me and even tried to deny my ownership."

Heero's eyes grew large in fear as he turned around to stare into his master's angry gaze.

"I never!"

"Oh, but my pet, you did. Or perhaps I should call you Hee-chan..." The pet name sent another shiver down Heero's spine as he considered what Duo was talking about. His master had always been a little mad. Hell, who was he fooling? When it came to the subject of Duo's precious pet, his master was completely insane.

"Why do you say such things?"

"First if you look at the way you have dressed..."

"What?"

"You're one of the owned, my pet. You should be wearing a collar with my colors so everyone of import would know that. Instead you walk around with your beautiful neck exposed to tempt any Feeder like some kind of slut. The fact that you would even think of doing such a repellent thing, it shows you no longer consider me your owner. Were you trying to shop around while my truer self was sleeping?"

"Never, I tried to tell you we were both reborn in another world, as different people. I wasn't your pet here. But I wasn't looking for anyone else. I never would have let anyone touch me but you."

"You expect me to believe you would have stayed alone forever? I know how much you need this... You need vampire blood like a junkie needs a fix."

"I controlled myself this long."

"Really? The moment you saw me you melted."

"That's because it was you."

"Oh really?" Duo looked amused by Heero's vehement denial. "Even if I was to accept that excuse, it wouldn't change the fact that you disrespected me by trying to prevent my awakening."

"You're right."

"Of course I... What? You're admitting you did that?"

"Yes. I know better then to lie to you. I tried to do everything in my power to prevent you from awakening."

"Why?"

"Because I fell in love with Duo Maxwell."

*****

Duo wondered briefly if it was possible to be jealous of yourself? In all those damn years they spent together, Heero had never told Duo Maxwell Vampire prince. No matter what Duo did, pleasure, pain, presents, torture, sex and threats had all gotten him the same response.

"I won't lie to you."

But Duo Maxwell the war orphan/Gundam pilot had accomplished the impossible. Heero had loved him enough to risk everything. For a moment he almost wished he was two separate people so he could beat the bloody snot out of that uppity orphan. No, that was worse. At least this way he knew Heero loved some part of him. Funny, when had Heero stopped being just 'my pet' in his thoughts and became Heero?

*****

"So you were in love with 'Shinigami'?"

"No, I'm in love with you."

"What?"

"I realized now your awakening didn't erase him, it couldn't because he is you. That funny, quiet, caring, innocent person you were never allowed to be. Even as a child, a Vampire Prince has certain duties."

"You really believe that?"

"I know it's true. My master would never have bothered to talk to me like this. He would have had me lashed within an inch of my life and then left me bleeding and in pain until he wanted to use me again."

"Was I truly that cruel?"

"No, you were worse."

"And now?"

"You have changed, we all have."

"I see what you mean my pet, I saw Nanashi with a Fairy."

"He calls himself Trowa now."

"Makes sense, the old Nanashi would have never allowed anyone close enough to become his mate."

"Then they're?"

"Yes they are."

"So do you believe me now? That we have all changed?"

"And we are changing still..."

"What do you mean?"

"It's time for your punishment, my pet."

*****

Leaning closer to Heero, Duo shoved him down in to the sandy beach. Taking care not to be the slightest bit kind, he held the boy down with one hand, not touching him other wise. Heero went pale and gulped in fear he knew what Duo was planning. Softly he begged, "Please Master, not that..."

"My poor pet... I can't let you go unpunished this time." Heero gave a whimper at Duo's words, he knew what would happen next. Duo had done this to him only twice before. Once, the only time Heero had runaway and once when he had seen Heero offering his blood to another vampire. He hadn't cared that the vampire had been starving to death. He hadn't cared that Heero had recognized the girl from his childhood. All he had seen was Heero offering himself to another. Heero never made that mistake again.

Now Heero laid completely still beneath Duo's hand. No ropes were needed to hold him still, fear kept him in place and effectively gagged him of anything he had to say.

Duo started quickly his face expressionless as he leaned down and bit Heero. Allowing the blood he was feeding on to strengthen his control and began to dispassionately strip away Heero's mental armor, leaving him completely vulnerable and exposed, then he began to delve into Heero's soul. Carefully deadening Heero's senses to the world around him, he locked the boy's mind in that nothingness, leaving him completely alone. No taste, no feel, no touch, he knew from brief glimpses of Heero's memories that it was worse then hell for the boy.

After all, when his parents had discovered he was different, from the time he was three years old until when his family was killed when he was fifteen they had kept him locked in a noiseless padded room in the dark. Only brining him out once a year for a family reunion. It wasn't long before Heero's mind sought succor in the form of unconsciousness.

Withdrawing Duo licked his lips then bit it, and let the blood fall on the younger boy's wound, healing it instantly. He pulled his pants on and picked Heero up ignoring the bloody streaks all over his body and the un-reusable state of his clothing. Tossing his shirt over Heero's privates he headed back to the house.

"I'm sorry my pet," Duo whispered, "You left me no choice."

*****

Trowa looked up as his cousin entered the house. Looking at the prone figure his cousin held with pity, Trowa quickly glanced away. He heard his cousin stomp pass and the door to the bathroom slam shut. He didn't see him until later that night.

"Nanashi..."

"Your Highness..."

"Call me Duo, cousin."

"When you call me Trowa, cousin."

"Point taken." With a smile Duo added "Trowa."

"I know why you're here Duo."

"Really?"

"Of course I have been waiting for this moment. It is only right that you take your place back in vampire society."

"Of course, I have been thinking on it and I do believe that fate has been kind."

"Why do you say so?"

"Right now in this house we have enough power to take over the world should we wish."

"Is that what you want?"

"No, at the moment we have a commitment to this war. Then I can deal with those upstarts."

"Then why are you here?"

"I was wondering where you kept the lube."
