Daystar's Prophecy Part 18
For the first three days of their journey, they rode until it became too dark to go any further before spending the night in a fairy ring located along their way, then at dawn; they would once again be up and on the move. It was a rough and tiring way to travel, but they all agreed that the sooner they arrived at their destination, the better. Fortunately, those first three day came with clear skies and relatively warm weather, making the long stretches spent in the saddle easier to endure.
It was just past noon on the fourth day of their trip when a large storm system could be seen moving in from the east. Knowing they would not be able to rely on the fairy rings for their accommodations that night, not unless they wanted to be drenched the next morning at least, they made the decision to rent rooms at an inn in the closest town. It was not an easy decision to make since up until then, they had managed to avoid meeting anyone else along the road. Now that their disguises would be put to the test though, they were beginning to feel very apprehensive.
Jess had been riding near the rear of their group for the better part of the morning and as they approached the town, she once again surveyed the boy's clothing, trying to discern any possible flaw that could give them away. It was during her perusal that she noticed Wufei watching her with a thoughtful look on his face. She had actually noticed the black-haired boy watching her on several occasions during their journey and he had always worn the same look before quickly turning away once he realized she had seen him. Determining to find out what the look meant, she directed her horse to walk beside his.
"Is everything alright Wufei?" she asked casually. This was the first time they had spoken since the episode in the cafeteria before their departure from the hold, not having had the time to clear up the argument between them before they left. Now, as the seconds passed by without a response, she was almost convinced he was going to continue ignoring her. Then, just as she was ready to move away, she visibly saw the tension in his body drain away.
"What is it that you fight for?" he asked though he did not turn to look at her.
"What do you mean?" she returned, a little taken a back by the strange question.
"You said you wanted to free the people from the council, but is that the true reason or is it retribution for your father's death?" he clarified.
Giving him an even more confused look, she thought about his words for a moment before answering. "I guess I'm fighting for both. I do want to free the people of this continent from the council's rule but I want revenge as well. Why do you ask?"
"I have always believed that revenge is a dishonorable reason to fight and, up until a few days ago, I had used that reasoning to deny the truth about why I myself fight." he answered softly, his voice sounding pained. "You see, I've always said that I fight only for justice and the freedom of the colonies. But in the back of my mind, I've also fought to avenge the death of someone who was very important to me, someone you very much remind me of."
"Quatre said that I had caused you to remember something although he didn't explain what it was." Jess said softly. "Would you... tell me who she was?"
"Her name was Marion and she was my wife." Wufei started after a moment, a small part of his mind wondering why he was confiding in her at all. The need to explain who Marion had been however, quickly overrode his normal inhibitions. "As you can probably figure out, we were married very young, as the custom of arranged marriages dictates. However, the arrangement didn't take into account our completely different personalities and as a result, we had a tendency to argue a lot since she believed in fighting for her beliefs while I desired to be a scholar. Unfortunately, we did not have much time together to work out our differences as she was killed defending our colony not long after our marriage. On that day, I took up the fight to bring justice to those who had attacked my people and in doing so; I chose to fight in her memory."
"She sounds like she was a very strong woman." the elf said softly, feeling admiration for this woman who she had never known.
"No, she wasn't. She was emotional and passionate about what she was fighting for; it was that passion that got her killed." the boy said heatedly before sighing as his tone turned quiet once again. "But now, I find that the same passion is what I fight for as well, making me just as weak as she."
"It's not a weakness to stand up for what you believe is right Wufei, and if you believe in that something with all your heart, it's even less of a weakness." Jess said resolutely. "Trust me when I say that it takes a special strength of character to make a stand in the face of opposition."
"Perhaps." he said before lapsing into silence again, his body language indicating that the conversation was over.
"Thank you Wufei, for telling me." the elf stated solemnly. "I know it couldn't have been easy for you."
With that said, she spurred her horse forward, leaving him with his thoughts while she too found herself wanting the space to contemplate the conversation in private as well.
********************
By the time they reached the town, it was late afternoon and the storm that had been following them all day was just moving into their area. It was with the first drops of rain that they found themselves entering a small inn on the outskirts of the town and as luck would have it, the place still had several rooms available. After securing four for the night, they decided to enjoy a hot dinner in the inn's dining room where Trowa entertained the other patrons with some basic juggling and tricks in order to keep up their cover.
Unfortunately, while the other people in the room seemed to enjoy watching the green-eyed boy perform and listening to the few stories that Jess spun, Duo appeared to be the most popular of them. All through their time spent in the dining room, the people commented that his costume was far more realistic than any they had seen before. Ever conscious of their dangerous position, the longhaired fairy would graciously accept the compliments while deftly steering the conversations away from any mention of his resemblance to the missing Seeker.
As the hour became late, the seven travelers were more than ready to retire to their rooms for the night. It was as they were headed up the stairs that Solo finally gave the sleeping arrangements serious thought. As was already a given, Jess would have one room to herself since it was only appropriate. This then left the other six to share the remaining rooms meaning that they would be sleeping two to a room. This final part of course raised the question of who would be sharing with whom and by the looks of things; he knew at least Trowa and Quatre would be one of the pairs. Now this left a serious dilemma for the blonde-haired elf since he would have been blind not to have seen the looks Duo and Heero had been giving each other for the last couple of days. Just the thought though of the two of them sharing a room together had his protective instincts running in overdrive and he had to remind himself forcefully of the conversations he had had with them both prior to leaving Howard's stronghold. As it was, and even knowing that to do otherwise would destroy what little trust he had managed to gain from the violet-eyed fairy, turning to follow Wufei to the room on the far side of the hall from the one his brother and the blue-eyed human walked toward, was one of the hardest things he had ever done. Then as he was shutting the door behind him, he caught the longhaired boy's eye and immediately saw the relief and gratitude radiating from those violet orbs, letting him know he had managed to regain a large part of the boy's faith. Nodding a goodnight, he shut the door before turning to change for bed.
Watching the tall, blonde elf disappear behind the door with Wufei caused Heero no small amount of surprise. For the entire evening since their arrival at the inn, he had been expecting the elf to bring up the subject of the rooms and as the night progressed without anything being said, the more nervous he had become. However, while the turn of events was puzzling, he decided it would be best not to question a bit of good luck and quickly grabbed the violet-eyed fairy by the hand before leading him to the room they would be sharing, breathing a silent sigh of relief once the door was secured behind them.
The rooms at the inn were relatively small, meant only to give a traveler a decent nights sleep and little else. One small, narrow bed sat against the far wall with an equally small table standing beside it. Above the table was a dirty window that could be opened to allow a breeze to enter while a water bowl sat on top the table along with a small, lit candle. The floors and all the furniture were made of rough hardwood and were of purely utilitarian design.
"Nice." Duo said sarcastically, cringing as he put his pack down.
"It's a dry place to sleep." Heero commented and as if to emphasize his point, a bright flash of lightning suddenly lit the small window followed quickly by a loud crash of thunder. Then in the next moment, the sound of heavy rain could be heard on the inn's roof.
"Yeah, I guess." the fairy conceded with a sigh before walking over to sit on the bed, giving the blue-eyed boy a searching look. "So, you gonna tell me what Solo said to you before we left? You said you'd tell me once we had some time alone, remember?"
Walking over to the bed, Heero dropped his own pack to the floor as he sat down beside the fairy and took one of the boy's hands into his own. "He just warned me about hurting you and about going too fast. Actually, it was a fairly calm conversation; he didn't raise his voice even once. Of course the fact that I agreed with every point he made might've helped."
"Yeah, but he said something about ground rules when he left to go find you. What was he talking about?"
"Duo, everything he said to me was things I'd already decided on my own so don't worry about it alright?"
"But--"
Realizing the boy was determined to find out the entire story, Heero did the only thing he could think of to stop him; he leaned in and captured those sensuous lips in a thorough kiss. When he finally pulled away a few minutes later, they were both breathing in soft pants.
"We should get ready for bed." Heero said, smirking at the glazed look in those violet depths. "We have to leave at dawn whether it's raining or not."
"I know." Duo said and shivered reflexively at the thought of traveling in the rain; he could still hear the drops beating down outside. Shaking off the thought, he stood up and quickly untied the sash from around his waist before shrugging the garment off his shoulders then laying both across the footboard of the bed. When he turned back around a moment later, Heero had also finished removing his tunic. Taking the shirt from him, the fairy placed it beside his own before crawling into the small bed with Heero joining him a moment later.
Arranging himself to lay comfortably on his back, the dark-haired boy wrapped his arms around the small fairy and tucked the boy's head under his chin before pulling the thin blanket over them both. Finally situated, he leaned over and blew out the candle, plunging the room into darkness save for the occasional flash of lightning.
"Heero?" Duo said softly after they had laid in silence for a few moments. "If you want we can... I mean you can, you know."
Placing a hand under the boy's chin, Heero raised Duo's face until he could look him in the eye although the darkness made it difficult to see his face very clearly. "Duo, I said we could wait until you were ready and I meant it."
"But what if I am ready?" the fairy argued. "I mean, I'm still not completely sure what it is, but I want to know and I think I'm ready for it now."
"Duo--"
"Please Heero? Show me?" the longhaired fairy begged sending shockwaves through Heero's body and straight to his cock, which was already half hard just from laying beside the beautiful boy.
"Ok," the blue-eyed boy finally conceded after a moment. "but you have to be quiet. If Solo hears you, he'll probably break down the door."
"I'll try." Duo promised with a smile as he leaned up to kiss the blue-eyed boy.
The kiss was gentle and tentative at first with Duo still feeling a bit apprehensive about what was happening and Heero still determined to take things slow. However, when the blue-eyed boy's hands that were traveling over the fairy's bare back grazed a sensitive spot at the base of the velvety wings, the longhaired fairy moaned into his mouth and all thoughts of taking things slow flew out of his head. Tangling his hands in the hair at the back of the boy's head, Heero quickly deepened the kiss, plunging his tongue into the other boy's mouth while shifting them until Duo was lying flat on his back. Finally breaking the kiss, he ran his lips along the boy's jaw then down his neck where he stopped to nip at a sensitive patch of skin just behind the ear, drawing another soft moan from the boy beneath him. Slowly moving along the collarbone, he dipped his tongue into the hollow of the fairy's throat before he continued down his body, finally arriving at one dusky nipple that was already standing at attention. Carefully running his teeth across it before pulling it into his mouth, he caused Duo to arch off the bed, gasping sharply at the sensation.
"Heero." the fairy moaned softly, his hands tangling in the blue-eyed boy's hair while part of his mind luckily remembered the boy's warning about being quiet.
Leaving off his torment of the boy's chest, Heero eased himself down that flat stomach, nipping and licking at the smooth skin as he hooked his fingers in the waistband of the tights and tugged gently, the mere thought of finally tasting the fairy making him harden even further. At the tug, Duo's brain managed to register what the other boy was wanting and immediately raised his hips to allow his pants to be removed. Pulling the garment down the boy's legs and off his feet before tossing them into the corner of the room, Heero sat back and looked over the offering before him in the dim light, an exceptionally bright flash of lightning suddenly illuminating the fairy's lithe form. It was the first time he had seen the boy completely unclothed and the sight was far more than he had imagined, making his mouth water in anticipation. Gently pushing the long legs apart, he settled himself between them before leaning down to kiss the fairy once more.
Duo instantly wrapped his arms securely around Heero's neck and pulled insistently until the boy was laying full against him, causing them both to moan deeply into each other's mouth at the feel of bare skin. Desperate to have the blue-eyed boy's wonderful body even closer, the fairy spread his legs further apart while at the same time rocking his hips against Heero's to create the friction his body craved.
Nearly drowning in pleasure but knowing if he did not stop him the violet-eyed fairy would bring them both off in no time; Heero broke the kiss before trailing his lips down the boy's body once again, stopping when he found himself facing the full erection resting on the boy's stomach. With a smirk directed toward the violet orbs, he ran his tongue along the underside of the already dripping cock and was instantly rewarded with a scream that Duo quickly muffled by biting down on the heel of his hand while thrusting his hips upwards at the same time. His smirk growing even wider at the reaction, the blue-eyed boy leaned down again but this time took the head in his mouth, swirling his tongue around the ridge and over the slit in the top, drawing more wondrous sounds from that creamy throat as Duo bucked wildly beneath him. Realizing that with his inexperience the longhaired fairy would not last much longer, Heero slowly lowered his mouth over the organ, taking in as much as he could before retreating until just the head was between his lips then completed the process over again.
Somewhere in his pleasure-hazed mind, Duo knew if he were not careful, he could easily break the skin on his hand by biting too hard. However, he also knew that removing the hand was not an option, as he had nothing else to muffle the screams and loud moans he found himself incapable of holding. Sparing a glance down at what Heero was doing to him, he caught another loud moan at seeing that dark head moving up and down along his shaft. No longer able to take anymore, he dropped his head back down on the pillow before increasing the pace of his thrusts, his free hand twisting violently in the bed sheets as he felt the coiling within his groin begin to unfurl.
Instead of stilling the boy's hips when they started moving faster, Heero quickly matched his rhythm to that of the fairy's and in no time, he felt the organ in his mouth swell just before Duo stiffened, his hand muffling a particularly loud scream as his orgasm took him. Lapping up every drop hungrily, Heero only released the boy's cock once he caught all of the creamy fluid. Then crawling back up the sated fairy's body, he kissed him deeply feeling him moan softly at the taste of himself on Heero's tongue.
Pulling back after only a few moments, he met the fairy's half-lidded violet eyes with a smile. "Are you alright?"
"Alright?" Duo said in breathless amazement. "Heero that was incredible."
"I'm glad you liked it." the blue-eyed boy said before kissing the boy once again, pressing his own aching cock against the boy's thigh. Feeling the hardness beneath the fabric of Heero's pants caused Duo to stiffen and pull back quickly.
"Heero, you didn't...." the fairy said with a blush, lowering his eyes to the dark-haired boy's chest.
Reaching down, Heero hooked a finger under that delicate chin and pulled those depthless eyes back up to meet his. "That's because there's something else I want but only if you'll let me."
"What?" came the soft inquiry.
With a reassuring smile, the blue-eyed boy leaned down and gave the boy a brief kiss before pulling back slightly, leaving their lips still touching as he whispered, "I want to make love to you."
"But I thought that's what we were doing?"
"This is just the start," Heero explained as he ran his lips along the boy's jaw. "there's so much more we can do but I won't go any further without your permission."
"Then you have it." Duo gasped, causing Heero to pull back and give him a searching look. "Please Heero."
Nodding slightly, Heero quickly reached for his pack, digging around until he pulled out a small vial before replacing the bag on the floor. Then, sitting back between the fairy's thighs, he hooked his hands under the boy's knees, pushing them up and out.
"What's that?" Duo asked huskily as the dark-haired boy spread his legs.
"It's oil." Heero answered, blushing lightly at remembering the conversation he had had with Trowa when the green-eyed pilot gave him the vial. "I need it to prepare you."
"Oh." Duo said, his eyes widening in apprehension. The vulnerability of the position Heero currently had him in along with not knowing what to expect was causing his fears to return. However, when the dark-haired boy wrapped his fingers around his half-hard cock and began stroking gently, he soon forgot about everything except the pleasure the boy was giving him.
Allowing himself a congratulatory smile at distracting the longhaired fairy from his fears, Heero popped the stopper off the vial of oil, managing to pour a portion over the fingers of one hand. Once they were sufficiently covered, he sat the vial on the bedside table before guiding his slick fingers along the crevice of the fairy's bottom, brushing tentatively across the puckered entrance.
At the feel of Heero's fingers touching him so intimately, Duo's eyes snapped wide open. "Wh... what?"
"It's ok koi, just relax and I promise you'll enjoy this as much as you enjoyed what we just did." Heero cooed, releasing the boy's erection so he could lean down and kiss him gently. When he pulled back, Duo gave him a shaky nod before closing his eyes, trying desperately to do as the blue-eyed boy directed. However, when the first finger began working its way into his virgin passageway, he automatically tensed at the intrusion.
"He... Heero?"
"Just relax Duo." the other boy said softly before taking one of his nipples between his lips, sucking gently to distract him.
"I'm trying to." Duo stammered out as the strange feeling caused him to grimace. Knowing the fairy would not be able to handle much more without calling a stop; Heero pushed in as deep as possible before searching around for the small lump of nerves he knew would be there. When Duo suddenly arched off the bed with a strangled gasp, he knew he had found it and quickly began stroking the spot, heightening the fairy's pleasure.
The electric feeling that shot through his body was like nothing Duo had ever felt before and he quickly shoved his hand back in his mouth to stop the sounds that were trying to escape his lips. As Heero added first one then two and finally three more fingers, the longhaired boy soon found himself lifting his hips to meet their thrusts, wanting them deeper and harder.
Pulling his hand away from his mouth briefly, the violet-eyed fairy gasped as Heero once again struck his prostate before he managed to moan, "Heero, please."
It was the fairy's pleading voice that finally pushed Heero past his limit as he carefully withdrew his fingers and quickly removed his pants, not caring where they landed. Then grabbing the oil from the table, he used what was left to thoroughly coat his aching cock before moving to position himself at the fairy's entrance. Carefully guiding himself with one hand, he used the other to remove Duo's hand from his mouth where he had quickly returned it after speaking. Then bracing himself with his free hand, he leaned down and kissed the boy deeply as he pushed forward into the fairy's tight heat.
At first, pain was all Duo could feel and it quickly overruled the pleasure he had been feeling previously, making him whimper softly into Heero's mouth. Sensing the longhaired boy's discomfort, Heero quickly reached between them and began stroking the boy's cock, trying to distract him once again as he continued to push forward. Once he was fully seated, the blue-eyed boy held himself perfectly still before drawing back to look at the fairy's face. Seeing the tears trailing down the boy's face caused his heart to twist painfully. "Are you alright?"
"It hurts." Duo whimpered softly but did not open his eyes.
"Duo, look at me please." Heero called softly, one hand pushing the sweat dampened bangs back from the boy's forehead. Slowly, the fairy opened his eyes and looked up into concerned blue. "Do you want me to stop?" the dark-haired boy asked, knowing that if Duo said yes, he would.
"No." the fairy said with a shake of his head as he gave a wane smile. "I want this."
"Duo, I don't want you to force yourself into this."
"I'm not." the fairy stated, unconsciously tightening himself around Heero's length causing the dark-haired boy to moan softly. The action also caused the fairy to notice that the pain, which had accompanied Heero's entry, was no longer as pronounced and giving his hips an experimental roll; he felt the pleasure from earlier return only much more intense. "Heero, please, move." he panted out.
The fairy's inexperienced movements sent waves of pleasure coursing through the blue-eyed boy's body, and finally giving in to the other boy's pleading, he carefully withdrew nearly halfway before pushing back in slowly, watching as Duo's mouth fell open and pure ecstasy took over his features. Then, after only a few short strokes, Heero finally pulled almost completely out before snapping his hips forward while sealing one hand over the fairy's mouth to stop the scream that tried to escape. Leaning down once again, he claimed the boy's lips in a searing kiss as he repeated the movement, setting up a hard and fast rhythm. Duo was not lying idle either, for as soon as Heero leaned down, he wrapped his arms around the boy's neck, digging his fingernails into that strong back while meeting each thrust with his own.
In no time, Heero could feel himself approaching the brink, the feel of Duo's incredibly tight body as well as the muffled sounds he was making, driving his pleasure to the limits. Knowing though that he wanted to feel the fairy reach his own orgasm while he was still inside, he gripped the boy's dripping arousal with one hand and began pumping in time with his thrusts. Within only a few strokes of his hand, Duo stiffened beneath him and screamed into his mouth once again as he sprayed both their chests with his creamy seed, his passage clamping down like a vise. Only able to thrust one more time into that incredible tightness, Heero moaned deeply as he emptied himself inside his little lover's body.
Trembling violently from his release, Heero's arms almost immediately gave out and he collapsed in a heap before using the last of his strength to roll onto his back, taking Duo with him as he pulled the boy onto his chest.
"Heero, my gods that was...." the fairy whispered out as he fought to catch his breath and still his thundering heart.
"I know." Heero breathed with a contented smile, cradling the boy's smaller body close.
Then, closing his eyes, he waited patiently until he heard the violet-eyed fairy's breathing even out in sleep before allowing himself to drift off as well, feeling happier than he had in a very long time.
