Royal Affairs Part 12
Quatre felt great, wonderful, on top of the world. He was in the Royal bedchamber, on the biggest bed he'd ever seen, and Trowa was on top of him. Trowa was kissing his neck and nibbling on his ear. Long slender fingers caressed his skin. They both had their shirts off and the feel of Trowa's cool skin against his warm body was wonderful. His own hands weren't idle. He slid them across Trowa's back and down his arms. Or along Trowa's sides.
Trowa sucked on a particular spot of Quatre's neck that caused the blond to arch his neck and press into Trowa. Quatre was already aroused, and Trowa's sucking was making him harder. Trowa groaned as Quatre pressed into him. Trowa rocked his hips a bit. Quatre was so sweet. Trowa never understood how a person could taste sweet but damn Quatre was wonderful. Rocking his hips again, he was treated to hardness under him. Yes, it felt right and so perfect. Quatre's legs spread open and Trowa settled between them and rocked his hips again. Quatre moaned with delight as Trowa continued to rock his hips. They were moving past what they had originally agreed to. But neither of them cared.
The door burst open, and Trowa and Quatre split apart. They didn't see anyone enter nor did they see anyone standing around. Quatre looked at Trowa and raised his eyebrows. Trowa looked around again and got off the bed. He walked around the bed and threw Quatre his shirt. Then Trowa sank to his knees and looked under the bed. Sure enough under the bed were two wide violet eyes staring back at him.
Duo had run from the study not knowing why or where he was going. Before he knew it, he was in front of the royal bedchambers. He swung open the door and dashed under the bed. He was breathing hard. Why was he so scared and why did he run? He knew. He was afraid that everything that was good for him would disappear. What if Heero left him alone? Or what if Trowa ordered him out of the castle? Would his family want him if something was wrong? And he really didn't want to go insane and die because he couldn't have a baby.
"Duo?" Trowa asked calmly. He was worried. Duo hadn't hid under his bed since they were twelve. Duo just stared at him. "Duo, are you alright?"
Quatre got down on the floor with Trowa and Duo. He took in the wide violet eyes that looked so sad and so scared. "What happened?"
"What did they do to you?" Trowa's eyes narrowed his voice was low and dangerous. If Duo's 'family' hurt Duo, they would pay. Duo didn't answer. Trowa stood up and grabbed his shirt while heading for the door.
"Trowa!" Quatre stood so he could look at Trowa over the bed. "Where are you going?"
"To talk to Duo's father. They've upset him. I won't stand for that." Trowa stormed out of the room, leaving Quatre to watch Duo.
~*~
Zechs shook his head. He had no idea why Duo left. Come to think of it, for all the time he's been in the castle he hardly knew anything about Duo. And now the boy's father was interested him. Come to think of it, Zechs was interested in Treize. But Duo ran, leaving the four of them confused.
Solo blinked. He looked over at the prince. Solo almost went over to hold the young man. He looked so lost. Hell, Solo felt lost. Why did Duo run like that? "Father?"
Treize felt horrid. His son ran from him. He lost his son again. He heard Solo call his name. "Yes?"
"W..."
"What happened to him?" The very angry voice had everyone looking up.
Zechs stood quickly and bowed. "Your Majesty."
"What happened to him?" Trowa asked again walking all the way into the room. He glared at each and every one of them.
"Where is he?" Treize asked.
"I won't ask again. What happened to him?"
Zechs stepped forward. "Treize only told Duo of his family. And asked if he had been hurt in the past." Zechs was slightly afraid Trowa would do something to Treize.
"And that caused Duo to run to my cambers and hide?" Trowa was upset.
"Has he had any harm befall upon him?" Treize asked softly.
"Why?" Trowa asked.
Heero stood and looked Trowa in the eye. "Please Your Majesty. Duo's life may depend upon it."
"What?" Trowa gasped.
"His life depends on it. He'll either go insane and die or live a long happy life. So, Your Majesty, which do you want for him?" Heero then headed for the door.
"Hey, where are you going?" Solo called out.
"To see Duo."
Trowa looked at Treize for a long time. He watched Zechs sit down next to him and put his hand on Treize's shoulder. "When he was fourteen, he was beaten by some visiting soldiers. My parents were furious then. They were returned to their kingdom and stripped of their rank and dishonored. My father wanted them put in the dungeon, but the other king said that Duo wasn't a real person."
Treize and Solo hissed, both of their ears flat on their heads and their eyes narrowed. Trowa couldn't blame them. He had been angry too when his father told him. Trowa had gone back to his room and held onto Duo rocking him back and forth. His mother had brought Duo treats and sweets for weeks.
"My father cut off ties with the King. Our current treaty is that no one from either kingdom crosses the other's boundaries."
"That's it!" Solo hissed. "They beat my brother and all they get is a lower rank!"
"My family wasn't happy with it either. But my father couldn't justify going to war over it."
"I understand." Treize said. Solo hissed again and continued to glare at Trowa. "How bad was he hurt?"
"The healer said he had some bruised ribs and mostly cuts. His hand had been stepped on..."
"I want to know if there was damage to his stomach area."
"Some bruising but the healer said it was nothing too bad."
~*~
Heero walked up to the Royal chambers. He was slightly surprised to see no guards posted. He stood in front of the door wondering if Duo would want to see him. After a few moments he made up his mind. He pushed open the door and walked in. He didn't see anyone at first but he heard someone softly talking. He made sure the door was closed and began to walk around the bed.
"Is that you, Trowa?" Quatre's blond head poked up over the bed.
Heero raised an eyebrow. He thought the blond was just a friend of the King, but apparently he was more. "Where is Duo?" Heero asked softly.
Quatre sighed. "Under the bed. What happened to him? He's so scared."
"Family. They told him things I am not sure he can deal with." Heero sat down and looked under the bed. Duo's eyes were wide and looked right at him. "Hello Duo."
"He hasn't said a word since he ran in here." Quatre said.
"May we be alone?"
Quatre raised his eyebrows. "I... guess." He got up and left the chamber hoping Trowa wouldn't mind if he found out.
Heero crawled under the bed a bit. "Duo, I need you to talk to me. Tell me what's wrong. I want to help."
"Why?" Duo whispered.
Heero almost didn't hear him. "I care about you. I.... I love you."
"Why?"
"What?"
"Why....why do you love me? I....I'm a freak."
Heero's eyes widened. "Duo, you are no freak. You're wonderful, beautiful, and you make me happy."
"Have you looked at me? I have a tail and ears."
"Yes, just like your family. It's normal."
"It's not normal for men to have babies." Duo mumbled.
"Oh Duo. Don't you think it would be different if you had grown up with your people? Had they raised you, you would think it's odd for women to have babies. Or for people not to have a tail and cat ears."
"But..."
"But what?"
"You're not from there, and you seem fine with it."
"That's because I love you Duo and nothing with change my mind about that." Heero reached out and cupped Duo's cheek.
"I'm frightened. What if it all disappears?"
Heero crawled under the bed further. He arranged himself so he was lying next to Duo. "I won't." Heero then leaned over and kissed Duo.
~*~
"Quatre?"
Quatre looked up and saw Trowa standing over him. He blinked and tried to smile but he was little worried about the fact that he let Heero be alone with Duo. "Trowa."
Trowa raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing sitting on the floor out here?"
"Um... just waiting for you."
"Didn't I ask you to stay with Duo? I don't want him to be alone right now." Trowa held out a hand and helped Quatre stand.
Quatre didn't look him in the eye. "You did. But he's not... alone."
Trowa noted that Quatre didn't look him in the eye. "He's not?"
"Um... no..." Quatre couldn't bring himself to look at Trowa. He had let someone into Trowa's bedchambers. A place where hardly anyone is allowed. Defiantly not a visiting royal. But he had to let Heero be alone with Duo. What ever was going on had upset Duo enough to hide. Trowa wasn't there so why not Heero. They had been spending time together.
Trowa tilted Quatre's face to look at him. "Who is in my bedchambers Quatre?" His voice was calm.
Quatre closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Prince Heero."
"Why?" Trowa's voice remained calm.
"He asked to be alone with Duo."
"And you let him?" Trowa didn't sound really angry but he didn't sound happy either.
"Yes." Quatre whispered. "I think Heero can help Duo. I know the prince cares deeply for Duo or he wouldn't have risked entering your bedchambers. I doubt he would hurt Duo."
Trowa sighed and pulled Quatre into his arms. "I see. You are very wise."
Quatre smiled and wrapped his arms around Trowa. "No, just a different look on things."
"I'm glad you want to stay with me, Quatre." Trowa kissed Quatre on the head.
"Your Majesty?"
Trowa sighed deeply and let go of Quatre and turned to Relena. She had a strange look on her face that Trowa didn't care for. "Yes Relena?"
Relena looked at Quatre oddly then back at Trowa. "My brother was wondering if everything was alright with your..... um with Duo and the prince."
"Are they still in the study?"
"Yes. And the.... guests are still with them."
"Do you have a problem with Duo's family?"
"Well they are odd. I mean they're..."
"Do not even say they are animals." Trowa interrupted. "They are more than that."
Relena nodded. "I have not been able to find Prince Heero or Duo so I was wondering if you knew about Duo. It would save me time if you knew. I would only need to find Prince Heero."
"I don't know if how they're doing." Trowa looked at Quatre. "Do you think we should check?"
Quatre noticed Relena looking confused. "I guess." He went to the door and opened it a bit and peered in. There was no sign of Heero and Duo. He walked in with Trowa behind and Relena peered into the room. She had never seen the King's chambers before. No one was allowed into the chambers. So she found it old that Prince Heero and Quatre were allowed in.
Quatre went to the other side of the bed and looked under the bed. Duo was lying on top of Heero. Heero had his arms wrapped around Duo holding him to his chest kissing him passionately. Quatre quickly looked away and sat up blushing.
"Is everything alright?" Trowa asked.
"Um... yes."
Heero crawled out from under the bed. He looked over and noticed Trowa. A slight blush spread across his cheeks. "Your Majesty."
"Your Highness." Trowa noted the blush.
Duo crawled out and blushed hard. His lips were swollen from Heero kissing him. His hair was slightly messed. "Uh... Trowa."
"Duo, are you alright?" Trowa asked kneeling next to Duo.
"Heero!" Relena stepped around the bed eyes wide at the sight of Heero on the floor with Duo's hand in his. "Wh... what..."
Trowa looked up and glared. "Get out!" He ordered.
Relena stood still. "But... Heero..."
"Get out, Relena! You're not allowed in here! Leave!" Relena blinked and then turned and left the room. Trowa turned back to Duo. "Duo, please tell me if you're alright."
"I..." Duo looked at Heero and then back at Trowa. "I will be. I think."
Trowa exhaled and closed his eyes. "Good." He opened his eyes and looked at Duo. "You had me worried. Your Father... he told me." Duo looked away. "It's okay Duo. If it makes you feel better, we discussed things and figured you should be alright."
"Yeah." Duo whispered. "That's good." Duo scooted closer to Heero.
Trowa look at Duo and then at Heero. "I think we need to talk."
"I'm sorry Trowa." Duo lowered his head.
"For what?" Trowa smiled at Duo. "For falling in love? My friend, that is something you should never be sorry for. I'm glad you found someone."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Heero bowed his head.
"You may call me, Trowa."
Heero nodded. "And you can call me Heero." He looked over and noticed Quatre sitting quietly behind Trowa. "That goes for you too, Lord Quatre."
Quatre blinked. "Thank you, but I'm not a lord."
"Trowa found Quatre lying in a field. He brought him here and now it seems they are in love." Duo said.
Quatre blushed and Trowa smiled. "Yes we are. Duo, I need to know what YOU want. Not what you think I want or anyone else."
"What do you mean?"
"You have three choices, Duo. You can stay here or go back with your family. Or go with Heero."
"What about you?" Duo gasped.
"What about me? Duo, I won't be alone. I have Quatre and Catherine. And that doesn't matter. I want to know what you want. I want you to be happy. I always have."
Duo looked at Heero. "I will follow you anywhere, Duo." Heero stated. "If you want to come home with me that would be great. If you want to stay here so will I. If you want to go with your family I will go too. As long as I am with you."
Quatre smiled to himself. Heero was a romantic. But then again Trowa was too. Though Quatre thought he was the only one to know that. He looked at Duo and saw how confused he was. "Duo, don't think too much about it. Just do what your heart says to do."
"But..."
"But nothing Duo. If you go with Heero it's not like you'll never see Trowa again. I'm sure you'll see each other. Same with your family."
Trowa smiled at Quatre. "He's right, Duo. With a treaty in place we can travel to you and you to us."
Duo looked to Heero. "I want to be with you. But..."
"But what?" Heero asked. Duo turn his face away.
"I think he wants to see his family's home." Quatre said. "At least for a bit."
Duo's turned to Quatre. "How?"
Quatre smiled brightly. "Because I'd want to do the same thing if I were you."
"We can do that Duo. Go and visit for awhile. I can send Wufei back to tell my mothers what is happening."
"Really?"
"Anything for you."
"Trowa?"
"Don't worry Duo I'll be fine. Besides I have Quatre."
Duo launched himself at Trowa and hugged him tightly. "Thank you. I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too. But you deserve to be happy. And Heero, I expect you to make him happy."
"I will." Heero swore.
"Good." Trowa smiled.
"And Quatre, I except you to watch Trowa." Duo said softly.
Quatre beamed. "Oh I will." Quatre wrapped his arms around Trowa.
Duo turned to Heero and put his arms around him. "I'll go with you Heero."
