Runaway Part 9
Milliardo Peacecraft, High Priest of the temple nestled inside Sanq Fortress, was a little uneasy. His sister had had a vision the previous night that foretold a great distress entering his life. He dwelled on it as the alarm went up... an indication of people using the underground route. He approached the heavy door as it was opened, and smiled briefly when he saw his two best protectors. The smile faded when he saw that they were carrying a young man with long hair. He was pale and looked as if he wouldn't live much longer. He was about to call for the best healer in the temple, when the woman in question ran past him... her white robes fluttering behind her.
Heero felt a flood of relief as the hooded figure approached. All healers wore hoods to obscure their features while healing. It was believed that the hoods prevented negative energies from interfering with their work. There was a similar reason why no men became healers. It was believed that men were too violent in nature.
Wufei bowed as a sign of respect. True... the soldiers and the mercenaries protected the fortress, but it was the priests and priestesses of the temple that kept it going. All in all... those that dwelled in the fortress shared a symbiotic relationship. The fighters protected while the peaceful followers of the Mother Goddess Talga provided food and shelter. All were equal.
"I gather this is the youth you wrote us about."
Heero nodded to the Oracle of the temple. "It is, my lady." He smiled a little at the girl who was only a little older than he was. Her long honey wheat hair was pulled back in its usual style of two braids. She had once thought to catch his heart, but soon realized it was not to be. They were both content with the friendship they had instead.
Relena studied the boy on the stretcher. The paleness of his face, his hair dull and soaked with sweat, it drove a dagger into her heart. The worry on the two that had brought him finished a puzzle for her. "You intend to start a threesome with him."
Both Heero and Wufei turned to Relena and nodded. Both were obviously worried that she saw something bad that would occur.
Relena had to smile. "You need him. He's been through much, but he is very cheerful. The two of you need that cheerfulness." She drew a triangle with her toe. "Strength, Wisdom, and Power. You need all three. Wufei is wise, Heero is powerful. The youth is strong, or he would not have survived so much. You all sense that what I say is the truth." She was silent a moment as she closed her eyes.
Heero and Wufei pulled their attention away from Relena at the sound of a low moan. Both were relieved to see color back in the pale cheeks.
"He'll be just fine now. All he needs is a good night's sleep." The healer pushed her hood back to reveal short, ebony locks. "But you should bathe him first. He'll sleep better if he doesn't smell of sweat."
Heero bowed to her. "Thank you, Healer Noin."
Wufei bowed as well before kneeling and gathering Duo into his arms and picking him up. "I also suggest some broth. He hasn't been able to keep anything down for the past couple of days."
Milliardo nodded. "I will have one of the daughters deliver a tray to your quarters later." The daughters were young women who had given their services to Talga in hopes of enlightenment.
Heero kissed Duo's forehead before talking to Wufei. "I have to report to our commander. I won't be long."
"That won't be necessary." The commander approached. She was strong in appearance and her face told that she would not put up with any nonsense. "So... this was the target that you didn't see as one who deserved to be killed. Explain."
Heero stood straight. "Ma'am! He was only a child when he left the prison. Neither Chang nor myself saw reason to terminate him. He was leading a peaceful life with a troupe of performers, who will arrive in a month. Both Chang and I sensed something odd about the prison commander and acted on instincts. When I did a brief scouting of the area, I noticed that there were no teenagers... nor were there any children over the age of ten. We did what we felt we had to, Ma'am."
Relena stepped forward. "Commander Po... the youth is not a criminal, nor is he a threat to anyone." She closed her eyes briefly. When she opened them again, they were glowing. "He is a good child who has been hunted falsely. The one who hunts him wishes the truth to remain silent. That is the sole reason for the attempts on his life and purity. These two will not allow harm to befall him... they have taken a blood oath and Talga has accepted it."
Sally Po sighed. She couldn't argue with the Oracle... the Oracle was rarely, if ever, wrong. "Very well. Yuy... Chang... the two of you are assigned to him. Since you've both taken a blood oath to protect him, it's your responsibility to look after him."
Heero smiled. "That is one duty I will gladly fulfill."

Warmth and wetness. Duo sighed as he felt gentle hands rubbing the sweat and dirt off of him with a lathered up cloth. He felt another pair of hands massaging his scalp and groaned as he smelled the scent of mint in both body and hair soap. The mint made his previously overheated skin tingle and he moved towards the touches.
"Are you awake?"
Duo opened his eyes and smiled at Heero in response to the question. "Hey... are we there?"
Heero pulled Duo into his arms and breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes... we're here, Duo. You're safe now."
Duo closed his eyes and hugged Heero back. Safe... he gathered he was truly safe for the first time in his life. The thought caused all his fears and nightmares to surface. He didn't realize he was trembling and crying like a child until he felt Heero kiss each of his eyes to drink the tears from his face.
Wufei continued to massage the shampoo into Duo's hair. It was time for Duo to allow himself to feel the reaction to the fear he must have lived with all his life. "Duo... close your eyes. I'm going to rinse your head." He quickly rinsed Duo off and got out of the tub to hold a towel out for Heero.
Heero accepted the towel and wrapped it around Duo after getting out of the tub himself. "Shhhh... it's all right now, Duo." He picked Duo up and carried him to the sleeping area where a huge bed awaited them. "Before you get a good sleep, Wufei and I want you to eat something. You haven't been able to keep anything down for the past few days."
Duo nodded and sighed as he was settled onto a feather-soft mattress. He giggled as Wufei brought broth-soaked pieces of bread to his mouth while Heero gave him a relaxing massage. He gave into an impulse while Wufei was bent over him, and pulled Wufei down so that Wufei's lips met his own.
Wufei's eyes widened and then closed as Duo's tongue shyly touched his closed lips. Wufei slowly opened his mouth and let Duo lead the first turn of this dance. When he pulled away, he bit his lip when he saw Duo's eyes darkening. "Stop me now, Duo. I have vowed not to harm you!"
The fear Duo would have felt with anyone else... was a sense of rightness. He felt as if he belonged with these two young men who had been sent to kill him, and had saved his life instead. He smiled warmly. "You won't harm me." He turned his smile to Heero, who was staring at the proof of what Duo was asking. "Neither of you will harm me. I know that. Can we? Now?"
Wufei groaned and pulled Duo into a fierce hug full of promises. "You know what we need, Heero." He smiled as Heero scrambled to get the needed equipment. "Are you up to this, Duo? Tell me now."
Duo nodded and licked a bead of sweat off of Wufei's chin. "I'm OBVIOUSLY up to this. I'm ready for this, too."
Wufei pushed Duo to lie back on the mattress and started placing open mouthed kisses on Duo's neck. "I have wanted this honor... since I first saw you. You are beautiful both inside and out."
Heero returned with several cloths and a jar. "You first, Wufei... it will be easier for him." He handed the jar to Wufei and kissed Duo. "Your first time should be tender... not wild." He contented himself with caressing Duo's face as Wufei spread the youth's legs apart.
"This might feel a little odd at first, Duo." Wufei poked the tip of his lubricated index finger into Duo and moved it back and forth slowly until he could get it all the way in.
A small spark of fear made itself known as memories surfaced. The screams of the kids while guards had their fun... the dead look in one girl's eyes as she was shoved to the ground. It all came rushing back to him. The memories were banished when Heero kissed him in the same achingly gentle way that Wufei had. At that same moment, Wufei's fingers brushed against... something... that made his back arch in reaction. He moaned as a fourth lubricated digit was worked inside him while the other three massaged that spot in him mercilessly. He was sweating and willing to promise Wufei anything when the fingers were removed.
Wufei waited for Duo's eyes to meet his own. "Say no now, Duo, if you are unsure. Once it is done... it cannot be undone."
Duo sighed happily. Even now... the choice to stop or go on was his. That, more than anything, made up his mind. "Yes... please!"
Wufei groaned as Heero kissed him and then slowly pushed into Duo for the first time.
Heero smirked at Duo, who's eyes were wide open. Without any preamble, he gave the tip of Duo's erection a lick, chuckling as their new lover cried out and bucked his hips... which made Wufei sink all that much deeper into him. Heero felt like cheering, but he decided to give Duo something to scream about. With that thought in mind, he started suckling on Duo's penis as a child would suck on a piece of candy.
Duo threw his head back and gasped at the double sensations. Wufei was slowly burying himself and Heero was sucking... it was almost too much for his inexperienced body. A hand caressing his face brought his attention to Wufei. "Wu..."
"Duo... if only you knew how beautiful you look right now." Wufei smiled at the flushed face and the heaving chest.
Heero paused to grin. "Maybe we should get some mirrors!" Then he continued his gentle suckling.
Wufei ran a hand through Heero's hair. "You're ours now, Duo... and we're yours." He moved his hips a little, smiling as Duo closed his eyes in ecstasy. "Beautiful."
Duo almost sobbed at how gentle Wufei was being. He'd always thought that this would have been an agonizing nightmare. Instead... he got a blissful dream. Instead of letting memories and nightmares take over, Duo gave into what was happening to him and let his moans be heard as Wufei's movement and Heero's suction started tiny sparks inside him.
Wufei, on a deep primal level, wanted to speed up his movements. He had a lot of self control... and refused to pound into Duo. Speed might harm and frighten the beautiful youth. Therefore... he kept his movements slow and gentle even when Duo started whimpering with the same primal need.
Heero pulled back and laughed when Duo growled at him. "I don't think Wufei's done yet."
Duo moaned. "More... please... I need... something."
Heero took pity on Duo... who was flushed and sweating. "All right, koi, I know." He returned to sucking, and used full force.
That was the last straw. Duo screamed out as his seed shot into Heero's mouth. The feelings when Heero swallowed... caused another ripple of pleasure to shoot through him. He was sobbing out his joy as he felt Wufei's essence fill him.
Heero grabbed a cloth and wiped his mouth before cleaning Duo off a little. "Shhhh, koi. It's okay. We won't leave you."
Duo was trembling as he latched onto Heero and kissed Wufei. "When will we do that again?"
Wufei had to laugh. "After you get some sleep, Koi." Wufei settled down and smiled as they resumed their positions from the night before Duo had gotten sick. Wufei on one side, Heero on the other, and Duo in between. This felt right... more right than it had felt with just him and Heero. "I would die before I allowed anyone to harm either of you." He caressed Duo's cheek before falling into a contented sleep.
