Beauty Part 2
The next day Heero quickly got out of bed. He showered and dressed nicely. Then he called for the orb.
Within seconds he was following the shimmering sphere through the rooms of the house. Heero heard the sounds of splashing, so he rushed ahead and ran into the room. He looked into the water and saw a dark brown form gliding under the water.
Heero held his breath as he saw Duo break the surface of the water. He climbed out of the water and stood unmasked before him.
Heero's head swam as he turned on his heel and ran for his rooms at full speed. Once there he threw a few things in to a bag and fled the house.
Within hours he reached Treize's house. Quatre was shocked at his disheveled state and unannounced visit, but quickly admitted him anyway. Heero pushed his way to his old rooms with a sharp. "Give me something to knock me out."
A moment later a house robot brought a few pills and a glass of water. He swallowed the pills and collapsed onto the bed, thankful for the oblivion.
~*~
For a week Heero slept- he woke only to take in a bit of food, and then to take more pills. He knew that he could not continue this way- it was only a temporary solution.
After the week Heero emerged. He was ravenous for life. He ate everything he could find, and was always in the company of someone. He went form one extreme of not wanting anyone near to the opposite- always needing company. Intellectually, he knew that he shouldn't treat them like that, but it didn't stop him from seeking them for his comfort.
"I'm sorry."
Heero looked up into the pained eyes of Quatre. "I know. But you were right."
Nodding sadly Quatre sighed. "Yes. And that is one of the most grievous crimes in all of humanity."
Heero watched Quatre walk away, knowing that the blonde didn't feel bad in any way. Over the next few days they would spend more time together- but they wouldn't speak of Duo at all.
~*~
Twelve days later Heero awoke from a dream with a hoarse cry. He had dreamed of Duo again. The foliage of his native planet had framed him, and there was a natural pool of water behind him.
He shook his head to try to dispel the image. It seemed that he just couldn't forget what he had seen that day. He could not escape it, so he might as well go back.
He spent that night surrounded by everyone. They sat around and drank vodka and talked through the night. When the sky became light Heero turned to the group and made his announcement. "I'm going back to the mountain."
~*~
A long day of travel accompanied with his long night caused Heero to fall asleep in his rooms the moment he arrived back. When he awoke it was night. He sat up and saw the orb. "Where is he?"
He followed the shimmering object into the main hall. The lights were dimmed, but he could still tell that it was just Duo, he wasn't wearing any of his cloaking clothes. "That's not fair."
The form shrugged. "You've seen me. What is the point anymore? If you are hungry you can pass by with the lights dimmed... but really, what does it matter?"
Heero walked past Duo. He sat in a chair by a large window. His mind was completely occupied with thoughts of Duo. In his minds eye he saw only Duo as he'd seen him in his dreams.
The knowledge that the aliens resembled cats was true, but so misinterpreted. They looked exactly like humans, but with the addition of a long tail, ears perched on top of their heads, vertical pupils.
Duo was thin and graceful, as he had stepped out of the water. His long tail and neko ears were black as pitch, and his eyes were an astonishing violet that held a spark of humor and mischief. His body was perfectly proportioned with a heart shaped face, and generous manhood; he stood before Heero like a wet dream come to life.
Duo was devastatingly beautiful. He had the kind of looks that would make him utterly irresistible to anyone whom he chose to seduce. To the early humans he would have been worshipped and adored as a god. They were forced to hide their appearance not because they were ugly, but because they could have enslaved the human race with a single glance.
And Heero ran. To be with a hideous creature could be imagined- even accepted. But to offer himself to such a wondrous creature would surely be an insult. He fled to Treize's home- humiliated that he dared love this Adonis. And he returned- humiliated that he had ever fled.
Heero had staunchly decided to put all the feelings he had for Duo out of his mind. He would remain a companion... perhaps a friend. But he would no longer fool himself into imagining any other sort of relationship. How could such a creature ever consider him worthy?
But now that he was back. Now that he was in the same room with Duo, Heero could not think of anything else. Even Duo's voice was beautiful. It had been pleasant before, but without the voice altering mechanism it was hypnotizing.
While he sat by the window the sun slowly set. They hadn't spoken again. When the stars began to shine Heero heard Duo call his name. He found that he didn't have the energy to leave or to reply. He simply sat.
"There are some things I should tell you. Will you listen?"
"Hai." As he listened he found that everything began to finally make sense.
The aliens did have a reason for coming to earth and the other planets they visited all those years ago. By the time the aliens left their own planet they were perfect in every way. They were perfect in body mind and spirit. But it seems that nature abhors perfection. Within a decade they became less and less fertile until they became completely sterile.
They tried everything they could imagine to create children. Embryos were lovingly cared for both in the female womb and in laboratory. But always they died.
Rather than curse their fate, the species had a new dream. They sought out new species that might be similar enough to theirs to solve the problem. They realized that they might not be able to directly mate with said species... but perhaps something could be arranged. And upon reaching the first planet they visited they tried... and failed.
And then it happened. As if by chance they overheard a mother weeping at the miscarriage of her child. This gave them inspiration. In an amazing twist of science the aliens were able to implant one of their own embryos into the empty womb.
The mother was cared for- never was she in any pain or danger. In the approximate nine months the baby was born- healthy and perfect... and resembled the host race almost completely. But as the child grew, its soul resembled that of the alien race. It was alien, and away from its own kind it pined away without knowing why. Only when returned to its true people did the child flourish and become happy. Against all odds it was their own.
Once they finally reached earth the system had been refined, this included the rose invitation.
Earth in this day was still slightly xenophobic, and so different methods were used. Secrecy upon the planet became more an issue than it had on any other. Women miscarrying could be brought into the clinic, be sedated, and implanted with an alien embryo. When they awoke they could thank whomever they wished for the miracle- never knowing how she had been fooled. Some never even realized that they had been miscarrying.
There was one other condition. Since the child would have to be removed later each family was carefully chosen. The wealthy were the ones most likely to have their children bodily so were the tolerant and those with a great support system of friends and family. There was no way to really lessen the trauma of losing a child in such a way, but it was lessened as much as possible. And a child was never called until it had reached a point of unconscious grief. Only when their souls were crying out for rescue did the roses get sent.
The woman who carried Heero had unknowingly aborted Treize's child and received an alien embryo. Treize had happily claimed Heero as his own.
And Heero had grown in the world of his hosts... but was not of their world. He had finally reached the point where his soul cried out to his people- begging to be brought back to them.
And now he was here, facing the window and hearing the story of his birth. Heero sat silently for a while. Knowing that Duo awaited his questions.
"Mars. They said I wasn't suited to go."
"Ummm yeah... a little lie. So that your transition could be easier."
"I am... like you?"
"Yes. You are one of us, even though you resemble the species of your host. I know your parents, and one day you can go see them. Umm there is something else."
Heero didn't turn. Inside he already knew.
"The one you are sent to is not by chance. You came to the one with whom you are completely attuned. Not just as a friend or companion, or even as a lover... a bonded lover. A husband and wife. We have also learned that the changes made when our embryos are implanted into a hosts body makes it possible for us to create children with those returned to us. In the case of a man and woman they are created bodily... or if it were to be two women... or two men, in a laboratory."
Heero ran a hand through his hair. "So I love you not because of a choice, but because it's meant to be?"
"Are you ok?"
Heero turned and smiled.
"Of course... I also love you." Duo smiled slightly.
Heero frowned. "But... don't you find me ugly?" He looked down at his hands.
"No." Duo knelt by his knees and tilted Heero's head to allow him to catch his eyes. "I find you exotically beautiful. You're very unusual and I find that very, very sexy."
~*~
Heero swallowed before reaching out with his hand to cup Duo's smooth cheek. The beautiful man leaned into the touch- his eyes closing as he sighed.
They stayed like that for a moment before Duo opened his eyes and grinned widely. With a quick motion he swept Heero into his arms. "Now my sweet... shall we retire to my boudoir?"
Nodding slowly Heero threaded his fingers into Duo's long hair. It was incredibly soft and silky. He suddenly realized that his actions were actually causing Duo to purr! Laughing softly Heero set about evoking as many sound from Duo as he could.
Suddenly Heero found himself plopped down into the center of an extremely soft, extremely large bed in Duo's room. The whole area was dimly lit so most everything but the bed was shrouded in shadows. Smiling he looked up at Duo before opening his arms.
With a playful growl Duo dropped onto the bed. Like a tiger stalking its prey Duo crawled slowly up Heero's body before licking his chin with a quick swipe of his tongue.
Slowly Heero reached up and ran his finer along the velvety edge of Duo's ear. He laughed as the longhaired boy happily collapsed in a boneless heap on his chest.
"You can do that for as loooong as you like."
"Hn. Ore no kawaii neko." Heero didn't let up in his ministrations; he continued stroking Duo's ear while his other hand ran down the boy's back.
"Hmm? Whazzat?" Duo snuggled against Heero's chest in a very satisfactory way.
Heero cupped Duo's face in his hands. "Adorable kitty. MY adorable kitty."
Suddenly a slender furry appendage began working its way up Heero's bare leg until it ran into his spandex shorts. "How about 'irresistible sex god'?"
Laughing slightly, Heero rolled Duo under his body. "Hmm that too." Not letting Duo say another word, Heero captured those perfectly kissable lips. While exploring the inner recesses of his neko's mouth, Heero made short work of Duo's black button down shirt and began unfastening his black pants. It seemed that even when not disguising his looks Duo preferred the color black.
Once Duo's chest was exposed Heero quickly shifted his attention to the delicious expanse of skin he'd uncovered. Licking and sucking his way down Duo's chest and neck Heero made sure to leave some small marks along the way.
~*~
While Heero busied himself with Duo's neck and chest, the longhaired boy was far from idle. Sliding his hands down Heero's strong shoulders and back, he slipped his fingers beneath the green fabric of Heero's shirt. With a feral growl he pulled the shirt off Heero's body.
When Hero's mouth finally reached his right nipple Duo almost jumped out of his skin. Immediately tangling his fingers into Heero's hair Duo urged him to continue down his body. With his hands thusly occupied, Duo decided to get creative in divesting Heero of his clothes.
Mentally thanking his parents for insisting he take gymnastics, Duo ran his feet up along Heero's legs and hips. He deftly slipped his toes under the elastic at the waist of Heero's shorts and pulled them down his legs before kicking them off into a corner.
Heero lifted his head for a moment from its position above his bellybutton. "Nice move."
"I'm a man of many talents." With a teasing wink Duo ran his tail up the back of Heero's naked leg and ass.
Heero arched back and groaned. "I can't wait to find out what they all are!" Heero immediately continued his path down Duo's body, much to the neko boy's approval.
The second Duo first felt Heero's lips touch the tip of his erection Duo knew- he was the luckiest creature in the entire universe. Whereupon he promptly stopped thinking at all.
~*~
With deliberate slowness Heero devoured Duo's cock, and loved every second of it. Being a virgin in every respect was no hindrance to his excitement or willingness to perform this extremely intimate act. The research he'd done in preparation for this moment had described technique, details, and tricks... but hadn't even begun to describe the feelings that he received. There was a feeling of such closeness and trust, not to mention the satisfaction of pleasing his Duo. Heero decided that he quite liked this.
"GODS! Heero... wait!" Duo gently pulled on his hair.
With a last lick Heero released Duo's cock from his mouth. "What? Was I not doing it right...?"
Duo sat up and caressed Heero's cheek. "No, no! You are perfect!" He gently kissed Heero's lips. "But I want to come with you inside of me."
"Oh." Heero grinned widely even as his throat went dry. While he wanted this more than anything... he was still very unsure.
"Shhh Heero, trust me." Duo reached into a bedside table's drawer and pulled out a small tube. Taking hold of Heero's hand, Duo squeezed some of the contents onto his fingers before suddenly rolling them over and pinning Heero to the bed.
From his position on top Duo rose to his hands and knees over Heero's prone body. Taking hold of Heero's lubricated hand once more; he guided Heero's fingers to his entrance. "Prepare me Heero. I need you inside me!"
Heero carefully pushed his index finger against Duo's entrance. He knew from his research that this was an extremely important part of lovemaking. If he didn't do it properly Duo would be hurt, and he was not about to let that happen.
His fears were eased when he heard Duo's throaty purr start up once more. Moving one finger inside his lover's tight body seemed simple enough, so he carefully joined it with a second finger. Duo began moving against him now- rocking to match the rhythm of his invading fingers and constantly vocalizing his approval. Inserting yet another finger Heero met with a surprise. Duo's silky tail wrapped around his wrist and gently, but insistently urged his motions to become faster and slightly changed the angel of penetration. Suddenly Heero's fingers came into contact with something within Duo's body that caused the boy to stiffen and yelp.
Inspired by the new reaction Heero deliberately stimulated the same area once more drawing the same reaction.
"HEERO! I'm ready, use the lube on your erection!" Duo's face had a sheen of sweat that made his bangs stick to his face and made him look almost like he was glowing in the dim lighting.
Removing his fingers from Duo seemed to be torture for them both, but he quickly coated himself with the slippery substance like Duo instructed. Before he could do anything else Duo shifted above his body. The longhaired boy straddled his hips and situated himself directly above Heero's lubricated cock.
~*~
Not waiting another second, Duo lowered himself onto Heero's cock- moaning loudly as he took in more and more of his lover's erection into his body.
Duo slowly opened his eyes, not even remembering closing them, and smiled down at Heero. With a small smirk he wiggled slightly to feel where Heero's balls rubbed against his bottom. The delicious feeling of fullness was almost too much to bear!
"Are you ready, love?"
With an adorably confused look Heero asked, "For what?"
"This." Duo slowly lifted his body before moving back down fast and hard.
"GAH~!" Heero's back bent impossibly backward as his mouth fell open.
Settling into a steady pace Duo reached down and teased Heero's nipples into peaks. Suddenly his wrists were captured in Heero's grip. Before he could question Heero, Duo found himself pushed onto his back with a grinning Heero above him. The movement caused Heero to once again directly stimulate that place inside Duo's body that made him see stars.
Not about to complain about the turn of events, Duo firmly wrapped his legs around Heero's waist and squeezed both his legs and his inner muscles.
Heero gasped momentarily and transferred Duo's still captive wrists from both his hands to his left, leaving his right hand free. "Naughty boy..."
Determined to make his lover lose control, Duo ran his tail up along Heero's thighs. "Punish me?"
Duo distinctly felt Heero shiver a moment before licking a long line from his collarbone to his ear. "Later."
After that they didn't speak at all beyond incoherent moans and gasps. There was nothing but the two of them acting on desire and need. The final moment arrived when Heero reached between their sweaty bodies and firmly stroked Duo's cock in time with his thrusting. Calling out his lover's name Duo covered his stomach and Heero's hand with his release while he felt Heero thrust one final time into his body.
~*~
In a contrast to Duo's screaming orgasm, Heero's breath caught in his throat as he concentrated on the sounds coming from his lover and the emotions and feelings that ran through out his body. Though it felt like an eternity, Heero collapsed seconds later onto Duo's body. Before he could move strong arms wrapped around his waist and back. Even a tail possessively wrapped around a leg.
"Nuh uh. You're not moving."
Deciding it wasn't worth an argument Heero nodded. He was really comfortable anyway. "Oyasumi koi."
"Mmmm."
And they slipped into a peaceful sleep.
The next day Heero felt that he had to call Treize. The moment he saw the older man's face on the screen his heart dropped. Not for himself, no, he was blissful. All his sorrow was for the people he had left behind who would never know or understand the glory of his people.
After a few words and pleasantries that he knew would sound hollow to the man, Heero signed off. With a sad sigh he turned and walked out into the hall. With a final gesture Heero closed the doors to his old rooms, and closed the door on his old life.
