Fey Part 8
Warm... safe... secure... Duo opened his eyes slowly and mumbled. He tried to move, but something held him. Memories filtered through and he giggled like a kid. "Mou... leggo, Od'n!"
Rather than comply, Heero pulled Duo closer. "Not again, Fey... never again!"
Duo grinned happily. "Then you'd better give me a reason to stay in bed."
Heero was about to accept the blatant invitation when someone knocked on the door. "Whoever it is better have a good reason for bothering us." He released Duo a bit reluctantly and stared at the tattoo until Duo threw a shirt on. He followed suit, and smirked when Duo sighed in disappointment. "Later, Fey... later." Neither boy bothered buttoning their shirts.
Duo grinned. "Yosh!" He leaned against the wall near the desk where he and Heero stashed their guns.
Heero nodded in approval and opened the door. "Relena. What are you doing in the boys' dorm?" He sensed Duo stiffening and almost smiled. "Better come inside before someone sees you."
Relena smiled as she stepped into the room, but froze when she saw the boy who had shot Heero not too long ago. "What are YOU doing here?"
"He's my partner. Relena Dorlian... meet Duo Maxwell."
Duo grinned impishly and waved at Relena. He felt a tiny thrill of delight that Heero had said his name in a different tone than he used normally. "Ohayo, Ojousan! Ya realize that your rep is gonna plummet if someone finds out you were in a room alone with two boys."
Relena sniffed. "Well... only because one of the boys is YOU, Mr. Maxwell."
Heero narrowed his eyes at Relena. "That was uncalled for. State your business and leave. Duo and I have work we need to do, and you're endangering the mission."
"I can't believe you're working with someone who shot you... TWICE!"
Heero growled. "Need I remind you that he did it because I was about to kill you?" He glanced at Duo and smiled so only Duo could see. "I don't mean to talk about you like you're not in the room."
Duo shrugged. "Nah! It's okay. So... what's so terribly important that a lady of your breeding has to seek out a professional killer? You do realize that following Heero around is likely to draw undue attention to him, don't you?"
Relena glared at the loudmouth before turning to Heero. "I wanted to talk to you. That's all. If it's a bad time..."
"It is. Look Relena... as I said, we have work to do and we can't waste time to mince words with you. Leave." Heero closed the door after Relena left and pantomimed shooting it. "Bang!"
Duo snickered. "I can't say I blame her for her taste in men."
Heero turned to face his partner. 'Odin always did say we worked well together.' He walked over to Duo and pulled him into a fierce embrace. "Live! I said it last night. As long as you're alive, I'll stay alive as well. If you die, I die. Got it?"
Duo hugged back. "Only way I'm gonna die... is if YOU kill me. Got it?"
"After the war... we'll sort this out." He pushed Duo's shirt off. "For now... let's take what we have." He caressed the smooth skin on Duo's chest. "You're mine, and I'm yours. We claimed each other years ago. You don't have to be threatened by Relena. If anyone can break through the barriers I placed around my soul... you can. It was losing you that built them." He pressed his lips against Duo's in a soft kiss filled with questions and promises.
Duo squirmed a little while pushing Heero's shirt off. He trembled a little as his body remembered other... less pleasant touches. He squeezed his eyes shut.
Heero felt Duo tense and he cupped Duo's face in his hands. "Open your eyes and look at me." He waited as Duo met his eyes. "I won't hurt you." He watched as the fear slowly left Duo's eyes and the tension drained from Duo's body. "There, now." He lowered his hands to the button of Duo's pants and 'accidentally' brushed against the cloth-clad erection that Duo was getting. He continued murmuring words that held no meaning, but let the tones soothe his friend. He slowly divested Duo of the rest of his clothing.
Duo blushed and looked down when Heero took a step back to look at him. There was suddenly a finger under his chin that gently coaxed his eyes to meet Heero's.
"Don't be ashamed of yourself." Heero knew he had to take this step by step to chase away the bad memories. "I taught you how to read... I can teach you about this too, if you'll let me." He didn't touch the braid. As much as he longed to see Duo with his hair loose, he didn't even consider undoing it. It gave Duo control over something. He watched as Duo shyly reached forward. He let Duo go at his own pace.
Duo swallowed as he worked the button free. His mind was screaming in terror, but his heart countered it. As long as his heart was winning, he could keep moving. He managed to get Heero's clothes off before his mind wailed in protest. 'BUT HE DOESN'T FEEL ANYTHING!!!' That argument struck his heart and he whimpered. "I can't... I'm sorry, but I can't!"
"Shhh!" Heero could see Duo starting to tremble again. "If you want, I'll stop."
Duo looked into Heero's eyes. "Do you feel anything at all for me? I don't care if you can't promise love, but I don't want indifference!"
Heero searched inside himself. "I care, Duo. I care about you. You're the only friend I've ever had. Don't force yourself."
"I'm not! Really! I just... didn't want to do... THIS... with someone who didn't feel anything at all for me." He bit his lip. "Hold me?"
Heero gladly held Duo close. Perhaps he could chase away one of Duo's nightmares. He let himself smile as Duo sighed softly. "All right?" Heero got a flash of inspiration and pressed a kiss against Duo's cheek. "Do you want to be on top?"
Duo pulled back and gazed at Heero. 'He's serious!' He slowly smiled and shook his head. His mind had been shocked at that question and his heart had cheered. "No. I don't wanna be on top."
Heero nodded and led Duo over to the bed. When Duo was going to crawl on so he'd be on his hands and knees, Heero gently flipped him over so he was on his back. "It will be all right." He wrapped his fingers around Duo's hardness and gently started stroking him. He knew they had nothing by means of lubrication, so he had to go back to mother nature.
Duo whimpered and pressed the back of his head against the pillow. "Oh GOD!" His fingers clenched the sheets and his pelvis thrust into Heero's hand.
"That's it, Duo. Enjoy what I'm doing." Heero gathered the precum on his finger and started stretching Duo's opening. He winced when he encountered the scarring, and kissed Duo's cheek when Duo made a sound of discomfort. It wasn't long before the sounds of discomfort changed into sounds of ecstasy. "It's all right... let it all go."
Duo writhed on the mattress. "Uhhhhhhhnnnn!" Every nerve in his body was tingling. "Heerooooooooh!" The name had ended as a pleasure-filled moan.
Heero felt one of the barriers tumble as he leaned forward and pressed his lips to Duo's. When Duo opened his mouth to scream, Heero's own mouth opened and he deepened the kiss as he caught Duo's essence in his hands. When he pulled back, he felt the heart he thought had long since frozen thaw and melt as he gazed at Duo's face. He resumed stretching Duo with a tiny smile on his face. He probed with one finger and brushed against something.
"GYAAAH!" Duo arched into the contact and gazed up with an amazed expression.
Heero nodded and held Duo's upper legs.
Duo gulped and let his legs rest on Heero's shoulders. 'Please don't let this hurt too much!'
Heero caressed Duo's face. He kissed the long-haired boy and guided himself. Duo whimpered as he edged in. "Shhh... easy now." He paused and gazed into Duo's eyes. "I'm not hurting you, am I?"
Duo tossed his head from side to side. "N-no! You're not... uh! Oh PLEASE!" He yelped Heero opted to fill him with one thrust. "Oh GOD!" He brought his legs down to wrap around Heero's waist and let tears of pain fall.
Heero held onto Duo as he sobbed. "Is this hurting you?" His hormones were screaming at him to pound into the beauty beneath him, but he shoved them out of the way for the time being. 'Another time. I refuse to hurt him.'
Duo swallowed as Heero caressed his face and wiped the tears away. "The important thing is that it's you, and you'll make the hurt go away."
Heero placed his lips on Duo's as tears prickled at his eyes. 'Mine... and I'm his... ALWAYS.' He broke the kiss tenderly. "Ready?" He shifted a little and smiled as Duo's head fell back with a moan. "Duo...?"
"Huhhn?" He shuddered at the desire he saw in Heero's eyes. "Wha?"
"I won't hurt you like they did." He rubbed his thumbs in gentle little circles as he dipped his head to lick one of Duo's nipples. To show the difference, he pulled almost completely out slowly, and gently filled Duo again by pushing back in, causing the slender youth to cry out. Heero gently pushed him against the mattress. He used one of his hands to clasp both of Duo's wrists on the pillow. "If it starts to hurt, just let me know and I'll stop. I want you to know it doesn't have to hurt." He started slowly... alternating gentle strokes with short, swift thrusts . He chuckled softly... Duo responded more to the faster movements.
Duo yelped in pleasure when Heero started the mind-blowing pace in earnest. He let his control on his body fall away and placed his trust into Heero completely. The instant he relaxed, he threw his head back and his eyes shot open. True there was a tiny undercurrent of pain, but it was oh-so-worth it. A tiny part of him snickered and told him he might enjoy being tied up and completely at Heero's mercy. His mouth opened and the cries of joy he had held back, spilled forth along with the tears. He closed his eyes briefly and then met Heero's concerned gaze. The gaze that told him that, even deep in the throes of passion, he would slow down, or even stop. That gaze... so filled with passion... was his undoing. His breath hitched and he was unconscious before he even heard his voice screaming with release at the same time as something flooded him.
Heero groaned as Duo's muscles clamped around him. There was no way Duo was faking. One thing Duo didn't do was lie. That look... the one that seemed to say 'I'm finally home'... started a chain reaction. Heero groaned and thrust in one last time, shouting out with joy at the same time Duo screamed. He pumped a few more times and stilled when he was emptied. He managed to remain awake long enough to collapse and pull Duo against him protectively. He grabbed the rumpled blankets and wrapped them around Duo and himself. He smiled as one of Duo's arms wrapped around him. 'Mine!' He laced his fingers with Duo's and closed his eyes contentedly.

"Heero?"
Heero winced at the fear in Duo's voice. "I promised. As long as you live, I'll stay alive." It was a closed channel... even to Dr. J and the other pilots.
"I surrender, but I will not hand over the Gundams. I repeat... I surrender, but I will NOT hand over the Gundams!"
"Mission... Accepted!" Heero pressed the self-destruct mechanism. He cried out as he was blasted from Wing. He fought the darkness. 'I promised to stay alive.'
The next thing he was aware of, he was lying in a bed of some sort. He glanced over and felt a prickle of dread. "Relena?" He frowned as the girl got up and called for Trowa.
Once Catherine left the trailer, Trowa turned to Heero. "Are you from L-2?"
"Huh?" Heero wondered what this strange pilot was really asking. "No. I'm originally from L-1. Why do you ask?"
"The tattoo on your back. I've only seen one like it once before. As a matter of fact, the one I saw was identical to the one you have." Trowa sat down. The next words he was about to say froze in his throat when he saw the intense look in Heero's eyes.
"Hn! I wonder what the odds are?" Heero groaned and closed his eyes. "I have to thank you."
Trowa blinked. "You lost me there."
"You're thinking, perhaps, of a tattoo on a little boy with long hair and laughing eyes?" Heero quirked a grin at Trowa. "He's a pilot, too. As a matter of fact, you were sparring with him at New Edwards that time Oz suckered us into destroying the pacifists. I gave him that tattoo and he gave me mine. I have to thank you for saving his life. He would have let himself die if you hadn't asked him not to."
Trowa shook his head. "Don't thank me. It's my fault he got hurt in the first place. How is the kid?"
"If you let me use a laptop, I'll find out for you. I have to let him know I'm alive." Heero pushed himself up to a sitting position as the girl came back with some soup.
"Sure! You can use mine. Thanks, Catherine." Trowa sat down and watched as Heero booted up the laptop.
"Call me if you guys need anything!" Catherine left the cabin.
Heero typed out a simple message to Duo's email.
Fey, promise kept. You okay? Odin
Trowa gazed at the message. "I don't suppose I'm supposed to understand that."
Heero shook his head as a message popped up.
Reaper: You scared the shit outta me! Don't do that again!
Heero chuckled as he typed a quick reply.
ClownBoy: No choice. Orders. There's someone here who wants to chat with you. I'm handing it over to him now.
Reaper: Go right ahead!
ClownBoy: Kid?
Reaper: *Blink blink* I'll be damned! Nan?
ClownBoy: Going by the name of Trowa now.
Reaper: Trowa, huh? Heh... I'm staying with a certain blonde who'll be happy to hear that you're all right. What are the odds?
ClownBoy: Heero asked the same question.
Reaper: Oi! You were the one who fished Heero out of the rubble, ne?
ClownBoy: Yes.
Reaper: Thanks. Whatcha think of my best friend? We each thought the other was dead.
ClownBoy: Glad you were both wrong. I'll hand you back over to him so the two of you can chat. Tell Quatre I said "Hi!"
Reaper: Trowa? This is Quatre. How are you?
ClownBoy: Hello, Quatre. I'm fine. What's up?
Reaper: Duo's letting me use his laptop for a second. I'm glad you're all right, and Heero? I thank Allah you didn't die. Duo was pretty distressed when we joined up in the desert. I figured something good was happening when he let out a whoop that could be heard halfway through the house. I hope to see you soon, Trowa. XOXO
Trowa had the good grace to blush. "Well... you know how it is."
Heero nodded. "I know how it is." He closed his eyes and imagined the smile on Duo's face. "I know exactly how it is."
