'...' thoughts
/.../ telepathy
By Silver Twilight Part 4
"The short version." Heero said with another sigh. "It started nearly a hundred years ago; the first time I saw you."
"Heero, in case you didn't notice, but I'm only eighteen. There's no way you saw me a hundred years ago."
"It wasn't like that." the dark-haired man snapped. "It was a vision or dream of some sort. Even now I'm not sure exactly what it was, but that was the first time I saw it, saw you."
"Ok, ok, calm down." Duo said and raised his hands in acknowledgement. "I didn't mean to say you were lying. I just wanted to point it out."
"Duo, I know this is all very hard for you to understand." Heero stated. "But if you want me to finish it before dawn, you have to let me tell it."
With a sigh of his own, Duo nodded his head and rested more heavily against the headboard. It had been a long day already and with everything that had happened in his room that night, he was beginning to feel extremely tired.
"It was a hundred years ago the first time I saw you, in my dream or vision or whatever it was. At first, I didn't understand it. I had only been a vampire for a little over one hundred and fifty years, which is relatively young compared to others of my clan. And while I knew that some of us had the ability to see things like that, I never thought of myself as one of them. Actually, even after the first time, I still didn't believe that. I just thought it was a very vivid dream."
"Maybe it would help if you would tell me about this... dream." Duo interrupted again, earning him a warning glare from the blue-eyed man. "Sorry."
"It started out simply, with me walking the battlements of an old castle, the sun shining brightly over head and there's a warm breeze." Heero began, giving a shake of his head and rueful smile at his description. "To think, I've not seen the sun in so many years, and still my mind can remember exactly what it feels like on my skin."
"Heero--" Duo began, only to be cut off by the man's raised hand.
"Don't pity me." he said firmly. "It was my choice, this life. And I've accepted the consequences for that choice. So as I was saying, it's a beautiful day and I'm walking the battlements. I'm not sure who I am in the dream/vision, but I get the feeling I'm someone important. And it would seem that the battlements are my favorite place to be when I have something to think over or something I'm upset about."
"Anyways, in the dream, I've been up there walking around for several hours just enjoying the day, stopping every so often to look out at the countryside that surrounds the castle. Then, all of a sudden, I turn and head for the door that will take me back downstairs. I'm not sure exactly why or what prompts my departure but as I move through the castle, I become more and more agitated. There's a feeling in my chest that something's wrong and unless I hurry, something very horrible will happen."
At this point, Heero stopped and took a deep breath. The next part of his tale would be hard for the braided teen to hear and he was debating with himself on whether to tone it down or not. One look at those determined, violet eyes that were watching him in earnest concentration though, answered the question for him. He simply could not leave out anything that might help him in convincing Duo that the claiming was necessary.
"By the time I arrive back at my chambers, the feeling of dread is so pronounced, I'm literally shaking like a leaf. I don't stop though, the minute I reach the door, I pull it open and rush inside. But instead of the terrible scene I'd been expecting, there's nothing, which for some reason, only causes my anxiety to increase."
"I quickly turn then and run back out the door, turning left and going down a long hallway. I run for so long and, even though my legs are hurting and I can't catch my breath, I still continue."
As he listened to Heero speak, Duo could not help but feel his heart go out to the man. Whatever this dream or vision was, it had obviously effected him to the point that just the retelling was causing Heero's breathing to increase. And as the story reached what could only be its climax, the dark-haired man seemed to curl in on himself, pulling his knees up to his chest and wrapping his arms tightly around them. Unable to stand the look of pain on that handsome face, the longhaired teen wrapped the sheets around himself as best as he could before crawling to the end of the bed and placing himself firmly against Heero's side. Heero himself, had stop speaking the minute the teen had begun to move and once Duo was seated beside him, he could not stop staring at him with a look of mixed wonder and disbelief.
"Just, don't try anything." Duo said, his voice soft to fit the atmosphere in the room.
"Would it be alright if I held you?" Heero asked tentatively.
"Nothing else?"
"No, nothing else."
"Alright." Duo agreed and in the next instant, he found himself wrapped firmly in the vampire's arms. "Go on and finish." he said and was happy his voice did not tremble.
"Duo, this next part," Heero said before drawing a hitching breath. "it's going to be difficult. If you want me to stop at any time, just say so and I will."
Looking deep into the vampire's eyes, Duo could read the unease that flourished within them and it brought an answering flutter to his own stomach. But still, he wanted to understand what was going on so, with a nod to show his understanding, Duo let his head rest again Heero's shoulder as he waited for the story to continue.
"Ok, so," Heero began again. "I continue running, my only thought was that, if I stopped, I would not be able to start going again. And in the end, I finally find myself standing before yet another door, this one in what appears to be the dungeon of the castle. But instead of just throwing it open and bursting in as I had done to my own chamber, I hesitate with my hand on the knob, trembling in anticipation. It's during that hesitation that I hear the sounds from the other side, although they're dulled by the beating of my own heart; sounds that turn my blood to ice."
"I'm not sure how long I stand there, but it feels like an eternity before I build up the courage to pull that door open and walk inside. And finally I realize why I've been so anxious."
The full body shudder that passed through Heero at that instant brought Duo's head back up from its resting place so he could see the expression on the man's face. "Heero?" he breathed in awe at seeing the tears flowing down the man's face. But by this time, Heero is so wrapped up in the story he can no longer hear nor see anything else.
"I don't know how or why but there were five of them, strong, brutish type men, and they have you down, taking turns." Heero managed to choke out past the lump in his throat. So many times over the years he had relived the dream and while it always affected him, it had never been this strong. He could only guess that it was Duo's presence at his side that seemed to make it all the more real. "When I open the door, they turn to see who it is. I can see the fear in their eyes for a brief moment before the one who is.... He turns and smiles at me even as he continues, not once stopping even though by then you've passed out from the pain. How the sword gets in my hands I'm not sure, but a few minutes later they're all dead at my feet and I'm covered in their blood. But it's too late, you're so hurt and...."
With a deep breath, Heero pulled himself up straighter on the bed, his arms tightening ever so slightly around Duo's pliant body. "You die in my arms only a little while later. I managed to carry you back up to my chamber and cradle you in our bed until the end. But it's not over yet because as you draw your last breath, everything goes dark and in the next instant, I find myself in a clearing in the woods. It's near dark and a silvery light covers the area in a glow that's nearly breathtaking. The only thing more beautiful is you, laid out on a blanket, naked as the day you were born."
This time, with a smile on his face, Heero turned to look down into the longhaired teen's curious eyes. "You raise your hand in invitation to me and I thought my heart would explode. Something inside of me tells me that it's our first time together and that from that moment on we will be inseparable until the day you die. For the rest of that night, we take our time exploring each other's bodies, mapping lines of pleasure and sensation. When I finally enter you for the first time, you cry out in such a way I think I'll surely die. And when we come, you cling to me in such desperation."
By this time, Duo was blushing so deeply he was wondering if there was any blood left in the rest of his body; since he was pretty sure it was all now concentrated in his cheeks. But through it all, he simply could not break eye contact with Heero and as the man leaned closer, he found himself moving almost unconsciously to meet him halfway.
At the first touch of their lips, Duo felt Heero's soft sigh and in response, he finally allowed his eyes to flutter closed before pressing closer to the man, deepening the kiss. Only a second later though, Heero pulled back. "No." he said. "I promised I wouldn't do anything but hold you and I won't destroy your trust."
"But what if I want it?" Duo asked in all honesty.
"I still haven't told you what the claiming entails, so how can you want it?"
At that, Duo seemed to draw back in on himself. He had allowed himself to become so engrossed in Heero's story that he had completely forgotten where he was exactly. But he did not pull away completely, which gave Heero some hope that he was beginning to understand what was going on.
"Tell me?" came the violet-eyed teen's request only a moment later and the dark-haired vampire could barely hold the sigh of relief that tried to escape him.
"First, I need to finish my story." Heero stated. "I don't know much after we've finished making love that first time. Just flashes of times spent with you at the castle and various other places. The dream/vision always ends though as I'm walking out onto the battlements of the castle. I know in my mind what events are going to happen only a few, short hours later, but I can't seem to make myself go back down those stairs to you, to protect you. I always end up waking in tears with a terrible sense of loss that leaves me depressed and sick at heart for several days afterwards."
"You said 'always'." Duo interrupted. "But I thought it only happened once."
"It's recurring. I can expect it every three to four years, depending on what's going on in the clan at the time."
"But what does it have to do with claiming me?"
"You are...." Heero started but stopped with a shake of his head. "I don't know or understand what the dream means. I do know that the first occurrence happened exactly fifty years to the night that Relena changed me and ever since then, its been the love that I carry for you that has kept me sane, kept me from becoming, like the others."
"You love me?" Duo asked in a soft voice filled with wonder.
"Yes, I do." Heero answered as he used his right hand to cup the teen's cheek. "I've loved you from the moment I saw you in my dream. For so many years, I've both dreaded and cherished them and then the day came when you were born. I could feel it, the instant you were conceived in your mother's womb. It was that day that the dreams stopped."
For a long moment, Duo could only blink up at Heero, his eyes full of the wonder that the man's words had engendered in him.
"I've waited so long for you, Duo." Heero continued. "To be able to look into your eyes and hold you close, it's more than I could have ever hoped."
"Heero." the violet-eyed young man breathed and then, with careful movements, he leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to Heero lips, pulling back only a second later to look him in the eye once again. "Claim me." he whispered.
"You don't--"
"No, I don't and I don't care." Duo stated. "All my life I've felt like I didn't belong, whether it was at the orphanage or in one of the foster homes I was placed in. But this feels right, Heero. For the first time I feel like I belong, with you."
"Are you absolutely sure, Duo." Heero asked. "The claiming will not work if you don't consent completely."
"I couldn't be more sure of anything in my life." the teen answered. "I want to be with you. Please, Heero."
No longer able to deny those pleading, violet eyes, Heero lowered his face until his lips were pressed firmly against Duo's. From there, he soon deepened it while pulling the teen's lithe body closer and allowing the sheet to fall away. At the first touch of hands on smooth flesh, Heero could not hold the moan from echoing through his chest, the intensity causing his head to spin and from the sounds Duo was making he was feeling much the same.
But Heero wanted more, needed more. It was this need that forced him to break the kiss, drawing a whine from the chestnut-haired beauty in his arms. "Wha?" Duo breathed even as he tried to pull him back.
"Move up in the bed, Duo." Heero said. When the teen did not immediately move from his position though, the dark-haired man feared that he had changed his mind. But he need not have worried, only a moment later Duo threw the sheet the rest of the way off before scooting up the bed until his back was pressed against the headboard. Once again, Heero found himself spellbound by the form that was presented to him in all its glory. When Duo reached out a hand to him though, he quickly brushed the feeling off and moved up the bed to join his precious nymph.
He wasted no time once he was beside the teen in pulling Duo close again and claiming his lips in a searing kiss. He then carefully pressed the longhaired teen down onto the bed and covered the lithe body with his own. Then, once they were settled, he released those luscious lips and instead moved down Duo's neck, nipping and sucking as he moved. When he came upon the mark that Wufei had left on that porcelain skin, he only gave a moment's regret before moving to the other side and setting about leaving one of his own.
With a sharp cry, Duo's back arched sharply when he felt Heero's insistent activities. When that hungry mouth released its juicy morsel on his neck though and moved down to latch onto an all ready hardened nipple, he though for sure he was going to come completely off the bed. He instantly tangled his finger in the man's silky hair, his hands tightening on the locks to hold him in place. Only a few seconds later though, the need for that talented mouth made itself known in another part of his anatomy and instead of holding Heero in place, he began pushing instinctively at his shoulders.
At the feel of Duo's hands pushing him downward, Heero could not hold the smirk that crossed his lips. He knew for a fact that this was the first time anyone had touched the teen in such a way and yet Duo knew exactly what he wanted. And since it was Heero's intention to give him just that, he slowly and carefully began moving down Duo's body, licking and kissing every square inch. Just because he intended to give him what he wanted, did not mean he was going to do it quickly. They would only have one first time together, and Heero planned to make it memorable.
It did not take long for Duo to realize exactly what Heero had planned for him and the very thought of the man taking such a slow pace was enough to draw a high pitch whine from the violet-eyed teen's lips. The dark-haired man had only just reached his belly button when his patience finally ran out and in one swift move that completely took Heero by surprise, he managed to flip him over onto his back and moved to straddle his waist.
"It's not fair teasing me, Heero." he chided with a wicked smile just before leaning down and capturing his lips. However, when he felt the man's hands moving to encircle his back, he pulled back, grabbing those hands in his own as he grinned down at him. "Nuh uh uh uh, gorgeous. You lost your chance, now it's my turn."
"Duo--"
"Shh, Heero, just let me." Duo said softly as he moved the hands to the bed above Heero's head and pressed them down gently. "Please, I need this."
And Heero suddenly knew. So much in the last several days, not to mention the last few hours, had been so completely out of Duo's control that now, in this moment, he needed the control. With this knowledge, Heero allowed himself to relax completely into the bed, giving Duo free access to him.
Duo could not help the smile that crossed his face when he felt Heero's capitulation. Now knowing that he would lie still for him, he released his hold on Heero's hands, sliding them along those muscled arms and around those wide shoulders before moving to the first button on Heero's shirt, sliding it from the hole and moving on to the next. He continued down, his sole and complete attention on releasing the little plastic circles. Only once he reached the waistband of Heero's pants, did he let his eyes drift back up to the man's face.
Duo's hand, small yet sure in their movements, were by far the most erotic things Heero had ever witnessed, even if all they were doing was unbuttoning his shirt. Every so often, those fingertips would graze across his skin, sending shivers through him. And then his shirt was open and Duo's eyes were locking with his own, for one moment he could not breathe until Duo placed his hands flat against his chest, the gentle touch enough to force his breath from his lungs in an explosive exhalation.
"Sensitive, aren't we?" Duo smiled.
"You have no idea." the blue-eyed vampire breathed.
"Good, I like that." the teen returned before running his hands over Heero's hard chest, grazing over those rosy nipples that looked so tantalizing. The reaction from beneath him was more than he had hoped for as Heero's back arched violently, nearly throwing him off. And it was more than enough to push every last one of Duo's buttons as he began pulling and yanking at the blue-eyed man's remaining clothes. "Dammit, Heero, you're wearing too many clothes." he growled when they refused to obey him.
Heero could not hold the laugh that burst from his chest at the teen's actions and with deft movements, he once again flipped them over so he was on top. "I think it would be best if I handled this." he smirked before raising up onto his knees and stripping his shirt the rest of the way off. Then he popped the button on his slacks and lowered the zipper before pushing them down over his hips, revealing the fact that he was not wearing any underwear beneath.
"Going commando?" Duo laughed, but a bright blush deepened his cheeks at seeing the proud erection that jutted from its bed of curly down.
"Always prepared." Heero leered, drawing another laugh from the longhaired siren, only this one was tinged a bit more with embarrassment and the vampire knew he had to move before Duo managed to think too hard about what they were about to do. He quickly shucked his trousers off, tossing them over the side of the bed, before moving to cover the teen once again, claiming those soft lips in a searing kiss that was sure to clear Duo's mind once again. Only once he was sure that the only thing on Duo's mind was the feelings he was engendering in him did he once again blazed a path down the teen's body, moving faster this time with a bit more impatience than he intended.
Fortunately, Duo did not mind in the least. Instead, as Heero neared the dripping erection that lay against his stomach, the sounds he was making grew in both volume and profanity. When the vampire's lips finally wrapped around that waiting cock, Duo screamed even as he wrapped himself around the man who had all ready started bobbing up and down on the organ in his mouth.
For Duo, it felt like his entire body was on fire, centered primarily in his groin. With embarrassing speed, he could feel the burn begin to coil and although he tried desperately to hold back, when Heero suddenly swallowed him to the root, he could do nothing but scream and convulse as he poured his semen into the vampire's waiting mouth.
It was several long minutes following his orgasm before Duo's mind returned enough for him to actually form a coherent thought and he managed to turn his head to the side, finding smiling blue eyes watching him intently.
"Wow." he breathed.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Heero smiled happily.
"Enjoyed it? Heero that was the most amazing experience I've ever had." Duo exclaimed with his own smile before his looked turn coy. "But, if I'm not mistaken, there's more to it than that, right?"
"Yes, there is, but only if you're sure."
"Heero, how many times do I have to tell you that I want this?"
"I just want you to be sure, Duo. There's no turning back after this."
The seriousness of Heero's words and tone caught the violet-eyed teen a little off guard and he took a moment to really think about what was going to happen. "What, I mean, will I... become a vampire?"
"No, the claiming will not make you a vampire. There's another ceremony that has to be done to change you and we won't even start talking about it until you're ready for it." Heero explained as his hand began moving languidly over the form laid out before him. "The claiming will make you mine; it'll bind us in body, mind, and soul. Once it's complete, we'll be able to sense each other's emotions and, after a while, some thoughts. But, more importantly, you'll be safe from others of my kind. The bond acts as a mark that you belong to me, a mark that they would not dare cross."
"Will it... hurt?" the teen asked and Heero could not hold the soft laugh.
"No, it will not hurt, that I can promise you. At least not past the initial entry into your body, which I'll try to alleviate by preparing you thoroughly." Heero answered and watched as the nearly constant blush on the teen's cheeks deepened even further. "After that, I can guarantee you only pleasure."
"Oh, o... ok." Duo stammered, bringing another smile to the man's lips.
"Do you want this, Duo, now that you know what it entails?"
Duo took his time this time, really thinking through about what he had been told and debating what he had not. He knew that Heero was holding some things back in order to not frighten him, but he also knew that if those things played a big part in what was to come, the man would have told him. Heero would not want him making this decision if it would cause him harm. The fact that he believed this of a man he had only met a few days ago more than anything helped him make the decision.
"I'm sure, Heero." he answered.
"...thank you." Heero breathed before once again leaning down to claim the teen's lips, this time in a soft and loving kiss. It quickly heated though and before it could go too far, Heero broke the kiss and slid from the bed, grabbing his trousers and removing the tube of lubricant from the pocket before returning to his place beside Duo.
With gentle yet insistent hands, he moved Duo's legs until they were spread to either side of him, bending them at the knees and pressing them up toward the teen's chest. He then flipped the cap on the tube, spreading a good amount on the fingers of his right hand before dropping it within easy reach.
"I need you to relax." he told the teen before moving his hand to trace down Duo's half-hard cock and across his balls. He spent a moment teasing the ultra-sensitive area directly behind the precious sack, watching in growing lust as Duo's cock completely hardened, before moving on to his true destination.
It was the feel of the cool, slippery substance sliding across his entrance that pulled Duo from the euphoria that Heero's previous touches had given him and brought him back to the act they were about to commit.
"It's ok, Duo." Heero soothed, having felt the teen tense slightly. "Just relax and let me in."
With those words, Heero allowed the tip of his middle finger to slip inside, drawing a gasp from Duo's lips. Then, still keeping an eye on Duo's face, searching for any signs of real pain, he slowly continued to push the finger inside, only stopping once it was fully embedded.
"Ok?" he asked.
"Yeah." Duo breathed. It was only mildly uncomfortable, not painful.
Heero continued from there, moving the finger in and out of Duo's body until he felt the teen's body relax enough to slide a second finger inside. Once again, there was only a sense of discomfort with the new addition and Duo simply kept himself as relaxed as possible. When the dark-haired vampire pressed against something inside of him though that sent a shock of pure pleasure through him, he found himself pressing down on those now teasing fingers, wanting nothing more than to feel that again. And it was Duo's near frantic movement that let Heero know the teen was ready for the third and final finger, which he easily slid in while he continued to thrust them in and out, carefully loosening the tight muscle.
"Heero." Duo moaned, having felt the last finger slide in.
"Just a little bit more." Heero reassured him. He could understand the teen's impatience, he himself was feeling it as well. Just the feel of Duo's tight body around his fingers was driving him crazy with need; what would it feel like around his cock.
Finally, after what felt like a small eternity for them both, Heero carefully removed his fingers from Duo's passage before grabbing the tube and flipping it open one more time. Then pouring a good amount of the substance into the palm of his hand, he slicked it over his erection, making sure to thoroughly coat himself before positioning himself at Duo's entrance.
"Relax." he breathed yet again just before he starting pushing inside.
A sharp gasp escaped Duo's lips when the head of Heero's cock slipped past the ring of tight muscle and into his body. It took everything he could to not tense at the pain the intrusion caused, but he trusted Heero's words and remained relaxed as the man continued to press forward.
Not stopping until he was completely sheathed in his new lover's body, Heero could only smooth his hands along Duo's sides to try and soothe him. He knew that the pain would only subside once Duo had had the chance to adjust to him. He did however, lean down and press a sweet kiss to those wondrous lips once he could go no further, in both appreciation and apology. And then, he stilled, waiting for Duo's word that it was all right to continue.
They stayed like that for several long moments, Heero bracing himself above Duo on his elbows with his cock throbbing deep inside the violet-eyed teen. Finally though, Duo could feel the impatience growing inside of him, the feeling that something was just around the corner and if Heero would only move, they would reach it all the sooner. But even though he tried to ask, to tell Heero what he wanted, he just could not seem to force his voice from his throat. So, instead, he threw his legs around the dark-haired vampire's back and thrust his hips upwards.
That was all it took, Heero's control was completely broken and he slowly pulled back until he was nearly halfway out before pushing back inside. With the next thrust, he pulled out until only the head remained before pushing back in. And by that time, Duo's body had loosened up enough that it was accepting him back inside with little or no resistance, allowing him to increase his pace since he knew he would not be able to last much longer. Duo's body was just too hot and he had waited too long for this.
Duo too could feel the end rapidly approaching and he continued to encourage Heero with his moans as well as his own movements. His hips moved in conjunction with his lover's, forcing Heero's cock deeper and deeper with every thrust, which caused it to brush across that spot inside him that made him see stars. Then Heero's hand wrapped around his erection and began to move in time with their thrusts, he could almost instantly feel his orgasm sweep over him and with a keening wail, he let it loose.
The feel of Duo's body beginning to tighten and spasm around him, signaled for Heero to begin the final part of the claiming. He slipped his free hand beneath Duo's neck and tilted the teen's head backward while still maintaining his pace. Then, just as he felt the first splashes of Duo's come across his stomach, he sank his fangs into the vein on the teen's throat. It was the taste of the teen's blood, joined with the sharp cry of his name from that dulcet throat that brought about his own orgasm. And as he pumped his passion deep inside his lover's body, so his lover pumped his lifeblood into him.
********************
"So, what now?" Duo asked quietly. They were both cuddled comfortably under the covers on the bed where they had awoken several minutes following their joint orgasms. By that time, the sun had risen above the horizon and Duo had had to quickly slip from the bed to close the curtains, keeping Heero from being turned into a pile of ash. After that, they had settled down to await the evening.
"Now, or at least once the sun sets." Heero clarified. "We will return to my clan's home. I'll admit that I'm not sure what'll happen after that. Relena's not going be happy with my act of defiance, but now that the claim's in place, she won't be able to harm you."
"What about Wufei?"
"Wufei." Heero sighed at the thought of his blood brother. "There'll be a confrontation, just because it's the only way to settle things between us. But it'll work itself out. We've known each other for such a very long time and we will continue."
"And you and me?"
"You will stay by my side, simply because I can't bear the though of being separated from you right now. In time, you'll learn the ways of my people and, when you're ready, we'll talk about taking the next step."
"Making me a vampire."
"Yes." the man agreed as he leaned down to kiss the chestnut covered head that rested on his chest. "I intend to spend the rest of eternity with you, Duo. But only when you're ready. Now sleep, tonight'll be a very interesting night."
