Iia Disera Sequel Part 5
Duo took the time to inform the three systems that Kohru and Shina had both returned, and told them that they would be in the control center for a talk. Once assured that both holos were unharmed, the three systems agreed to let them talk without interruption, and as he left the lounge, Duo knew without a doubt that the three systems could easily entertain themselves.
The three he found in the control center seemed decidedly awkward around each other. Closing the door behind him, Duo made his way to stand behind Heero, setting his hands on his other's shoulders. Heero looked up, relieved, and Duo offered a small smile. "Okay?" he asked softly.
Heero nodded. "Okay," he said. Turning to the two holos who had made themselves comfortable in two chairs, he shifted. "I guess I'll start from the beginning of the memory."
Kohru, Shina and Duo listened as Heero started off talking about how he found out that he was an Arian. Duo squeezed Heero's shoulder when he reached the part where he woke up and found Duo gone, and that was when Duo cut in to talk about how he had been worried about pressuring Heero into accepting their relationship.
Heero focused on Kohru as he spoke, and he talked about what he'd done in his attempts and failure to reach Duo and talk to him. Then, Heero was staring out the window into the vast stars ahead as he mentioned his fear of his other rejecting him.
"I'm so sorry," Duo whispered.
Heero touched his hand, looking up. "It's past," he said softly. "Won't happen again."
"No, it won't," Duo replied.
"Trowa came to me telling me that he and the others were concerned about my lack of appetite and the fact that my eyes were losing color," Heero continued. "He came to find me in the anti-gravity room where I was thinking. I asked him then how they'd found me and that's when Trowa told me that the escape pod was in the lower level and had been kept since Duo hadn't found any damage. That was when my plan formulated in my head and I asked Trowa for a favour to go down to the lower level to talk to Duo."
Kohru was staring at Heero with rapt attention. His heart squeezed painfully as he listened, knowing what it felt like to have found his own other, and knowing how hard it was to leave Shina. He glanced briefly at his other, wondering if he'd hurt Shina the way that Duo's actions had hurt Heero. Even listening to Heero now, Kohru knew that no matter the reassurances Duo gave, those feelings would still be there when Heero thought of the situation.
As much as he suddenly wanted to stop hearing it because he didn't want Heero to relive the incident, Kohru knew that he, himself, wanted to know the entire story.
"I had my computer with me," Heero said. "And I went down to the lower level when Trowa let me in. I heard Duo call out, wondering who it was, and I made my way to where the escape pod was housed, knowing I didn't have much time to get in before Duo came to me. At that point in time, I wanted desperately to see him, and yet not to."
"Why not?" Kohru asked softly. "You went all the way down there, and you avoided Duo?"
"I haven't been an Arian for a very long time," Heero replied. "And especially then, I'd just come off of the cocktail that my mentor had perfected to stop my Arian urges. The only thoughts I had then were of Duo regretting his claim that I was his other, and that if I couldn't control myself, my Arian urges, I could hurt him." Heero looked Kohru in the eye. "And I would have done anything to protect Duo, even from myself."
Kohru nodded, understanding that feeling very well.
"My computer had sent out signals to Zepras before, you should know the incident, right?" Heero asked. At Kohru's nod, he went on. "And I was...hurting so badly that I wanted to get away from Leo, get away from the possibility of hurting Duo, even if it meant that I ended up captured by Zepras."
"I knew it wasn't Trowa when I heard the footsteps," Duo cut in. "But I heard Trowa's voice commanding the door leading to the escape pod to open. By the time I got to the door, Heero had jumpered it, jamming it shut, and set the exterior doors to open. He looked up at me and his eyes were white. The moment I saw that...my heart stopped. I'd never seen anything like it before, and it scared me. I immediately regretted my decisions...my cowardice. I should have faced Heero and talked to him instead of letting things get so bad. When Trowa told me about it, I didn't think it had been that bad." Duo looked away, unable to meet anyone's eyes because he was so ashamed of his past actions. "When I begged Heero to stop the process, to open the door, he only told me over and over that he desired me, that he was sorry, that he loved me and he would protect me."
"I strapped myself into the escape pod," Heero said. "And it was launched as I had planned. Then, I turned on my computers...hoping to meet Zepras or someone, anyone who would take me away from Duo. I'd do anything to avoid hurting him."
"In the end, we all worked together to combat the Zepra ship," Shina said softly. "Duo was frantic, because Quatre had to open fire to deflect an attack. The resulting explosion knocked Heero's escape pod off course, and we had to continually evade fire before Duo could get close enough to use the exterior arms and bring the escape pod back in."
"Once I did, Wufei urged me to go to Heero and also to shut down the computer because the signal could not be scrambled," Duo said. "It was...an eternity before the hatch pressurized. It took so long to open the hatch, because I looked in the small window and saw Heero bleeding. Once I had him in my arms I tried to stop the bleeding and shut down the computer. Wufei, Quatre, Trowa and Shina worked to get Leo to safety. And even when Heero opened his eyes and saw me, he only wanted to get away from me."
"I didn't have such strong resolve," Heero said. "It only took a kiss or two and a declaration from Duo to convince me that he did want me. That I was his other, and that he loved me. Arians don't lie, so I believed him and the need to get away was gone."
"I hadn't wanted to pressure Heero," Duo said. "That was my excuse, when in fact, I was afraid that he would reject me. I didn't know if I could trust Heero's words when he was still...confused between his Hydran ways and his Arian emotions. No, not that I didn't trust, I feared that his confusion would...could...hurt us both."
"Do you understand now, why I wanted to keep this from you?" Heero asked Kohru. "The whole ordeal...hurt. And the last thing I want anybody to feel is that pain. I didn't even think that it would hurt you to keep that from you. Just a few days worth of memory, and I thought I could spare you from it. Even now I don't want to give it to you more than just verbally, Kohru, please, don't make me."
Kohru nodded. "I understand," he whispered. "But...maybe it sounds childish and irrational now that I know the whole story, but before knowing this it really felt that you were holding out on me. That there was something between you and Shina that I could never know. And that hurt me, because Shina is my other."
"So now you know," Heero said. "Duo is my other, Kohru, and all I can say is that I need to work on identifying him and Shina without trouble. Shina and Duo look exactly alike and at just a glance sometimes it's hard to..."
"You don't have to explain," Kohru said. "I understand now. I just...I got jealous. And I'm sorry."
The four lapsed into silence for a few long minutes before Duo pulled Heero to his feet. "Enough," he said softly. "We've talked enough. I'm sure Shina and Kohru want some time alone...and I want some time with you."
Heero nodded and followed Duo out of the control center. The moment they entered their room and closed the door, Heero found himself in Duo's arms.
"I'm so sorry," Duo whispered. "I'll always, always hate myself for doing that to you."
"You couldn't have known better," Heero said. "And I didn't either. I scared you by leaving, didn't I?"
"Damn right you did."
"So we're even," Heero said, although he held Duo just as tightly.
"I didn't ever want you to have to relive it," Duo sighed. "But..."
"We didn't have a choice," Heero interrupted. "And maybe now things will be better for Shina and Kohru, right?"
Duo drew Heero towards the bed and lay down in Heero's arms. "I need to know you're really here," he whispered, nuzzling his other. "No, I know you are, but I need to know...to feel..." he frowned, unable to articulate that need.
"I know," Heero said, rubbing his hand up and down Duo's braid.
"But for now, before that want takes over...just hold me?"
Heero wrapped his arms around his other, basking in his presence and relaxing himself from reliving the painful experience.

Neither Kohru nor Shina spoke until they had retreated to their own room. For a moment, they stared at one another before Kohru pulled Shina into his arms, burying his face against his other's neck.
"I did that to you," he whispered. "I'm so sorry, Shina. By leaving you...I...With Heero's memories and the knowledge of how much Duo means to him, just like how much you mean to me, even without his memories I could feel, could understand, that pain. And without a thought to you, my other, I just left you."
Shina hugged Kohru tightly. "You couldn't have known," he whispered. "And as much as I hated making Heero go through with what he just did, I'm glad that he did it for us, Kohru. I hated lying to you, and I know that this knowledge would assure you that Heero and Duo are inseparable, just as we are. Aren't we?"
"Yes," Kohru said fiercely. "No more, Shina, I won't, I swear. Iiala aysuei, Shina. I'll respect Heero and never speak of it again. I just...I can't believe I almost did that to you."
"It hurt you too, to leave me, right?" Shina asked softly. "But I'm glad it did."
"You are?" Kohru asked, drawing away, shocked.
"Yes." Shina's thumb traced Kohru's jaw. "It meant getting hurt, yes, but it also meant that we'd never do it again, because neither of us deserves that hurt, ever."
Kohru nodded in agreement and pulled Shina close, kissing his other gently. Then, they were removing their clothes and settling into bed, needing to be close, to be intimate, and knowing that this time, their need went beyond that of their Arian urges.

"I'm glad that they seem to have resolved the issue," Quatre said, moving his piece on the game and waiting for Wufei to take his turn. "I only wish that Heero didn't have to go through those memories again."
"They are long past," Trowa said softly. "And even though it would hurt him to think of that time, he has Duo with him now, and neither of them are going to let go of one another anytime soon."
"Just like how you don't seem to be willing to let go of Quatre anytime soon," Wufei said dryly. "I thought you were supposed to be neutral in this game, Trowa. You're clearly siding with Quatre."
"Jealous?" Quatre teased, leaning against Trowa and placing a kiss on his jaw. "You could just admit defeat and come onto my side."
"If we all sat on your side, Quatre, we wouldn't be able to play this game."
"We could play other games."
"Just because you think you're about to lose..."
Quatre glared half-heartedly at Wufei. "Just because you're a sore loser..." he shot back. Then he grinned, setting a hand on Trowa's thigh. "It's okay," he said. "I have the prize with me already, and it really doesn't matter if it is the big prize, or the consolation prize."
Wufei stretched his arms up, aware of the way his others' eyes traced his body. "Well," he said. "It appears that I'm being neglected. So I'm going to go and make myself a holo, and maybe he'll pay more attention to me."
A moment later, Quatre had made his next move and rounded the small table to straddle Wufei, looking him in the eye. "Don't you dare," he said. "I'm not sharing you with anyone but Trowa, not even a holo with my memories or even Trowa's memories."
Wufei slid his arms around the blonde system. "Well, if you can entertain me well, Quatre, then I wouldn't even think about..."
"As it stands, Wufei," Quatre interrupted. "I just won the game and it would appear that you are the one who has to entertain me."
Wufei blinked at Quatre, who eased out of the way so that Wufei could study the board. Seeing that Quatre had defeated him in a bold move that he hadn't foreseen, he sighed.
"All yours," he said.
"All ours," Trowa corrected, standing by his others. "I was on Quatre's side, and he whispered to me earlier on as you walked into his trap that I would get to share."
Wufei groaned. "Have mercy, my others."
Quatre leaned close and licked Wufei's lips, shifting back when Wufei tried to catch his tongue. "But Wufei, if we had mercy on you...none of us would enjoy it."
They noticed that the control center's door was open when they made their way to their room. Quatre pulled Wufei in eagerly, turning to hold him still just as Trowa came up behind Wufei, sandwiching him. "It appears that their talk is over," Trowa said, eyes darkening. "And it also appears that they have retreated to their rooms, which means that they won't be coming out for a while, and they won't be needing us for a while..."
"I think it means that we can spend some time here, and that Trowa and I can enjoy our entertainment now," Quatre finished for Trowa.
Wufei shivered as Trowa's hands set to removing his two shirts while Quatre deftly stripped him of his belt and pants. Before long, Wufei stood naked between his lovers, and he moaned, feeling their heat and arousal despite the fact that they were still clothed.
Before he had time to protest, Wufei found himself chained to the bed.
"We won't be mean," Trowa said. "We love you too much not to entertain you, Wufei."
Wufei watched, his mouth dry as Quatre removed Trowa's belt, drawing out Trowa's erection as he dropped to his knees. He tried to swallow as Quatre spared him a glance before taking Trowa into his mouth, one hand on Trowa's thigh and the other removing his own belt so he could begin to stroke himself.
"This isn't fair," Wufei grumbled since he was unable to touch himself or his others.
"Be entertained," Trowa advised him, running a hand through Quatre's blonde hair. "I'm sure you'll enjoy the show almost as much as I will...or am."
Quatre straightened with a last lick and lowered his pants, turning to brace himself against the wall close to the bed. He looked at Wufei with a grin before turning to Trowa, arching his back and inviting Trowa to move closer. Trowa bent, kissing a trail up the blonde system's back before he murmured something into Quatre's ear as he guided the head of his erection into Quatre. Without much more warning, Trowa braced a hand on the wall and the other on Quatre's shoulder before flexing his hips, plunging deep into Quatre.
Wufei moaned at the sight of his two lovers panting in that position. And as if on cue, darkened blue and green eyes turned to him, the eyes running the length of his naked body as Trowa set a slow pace, teasing all three of them.
"More," Quatre begged, trying to push back.
"Slow," Trowa replied. "Just a little."
Quatre made an impatient sound and reached to stroke himself, only to have Trowa pull his hand back up. "Trowa!"
"Our focus is entertaining Wufei," Trowa reminded him.
"I'm entertained," Wufei groaned. "Get over here and touch me!"
Trowa ignored Wufei, looking down and watching as his hardness moved out of Quatre and sank in deep again. Quatre was tight and hot around him; he could feel the tensing of his muscles as Quatre teased him in return.
But just before Trowa and Quatre were too far gone to lose their focus, Trowa separated them, albeit with difficulty. Quatre stood, panting against the wall, his erection dripping with precum as he tried to reign in his lust. Trowa was breathing hard, standing several feet away.
Wufei decided that he had to act now. Spreading his legs, he lifted them up, watching as both Quatre's and Trowa's eyes zeroed in at his groin. "Touch. Me."
Quatre moved first, kicking his shoes off so that he could get out of his pants. Not bothering to remove his shirt, he climbed onto the bed and slid between Wufei's legs, leaning down so that their erections were lined up. Wufei moaned and moved his hips against Quatre's as his other ran his hands up and down his torso. Turning to Trowa who had also crawled onto the bed, he accepted the kiss from the taller system, moaning at the sensations coursing through his body.
"Let me taste you again, Trowa," Quatre said.
"You won the game," Trowa replied, sitting back and moving his hips closer to his other's lips. "Your wish is my command." By then, Trowa knew that they were finished with teasing Wufei, that Wufei had already suffered the punishment of losing the game to Quatre. He didn't care, so long as they were going to get their release.
Quatre licked the head of Trowa's cock before Wufei lifted his head and took him in, leaving Quatre no choice but to kiss the base of the shaft. Then, Wufei moaned as Quatre pushed into him. Trowa bit his lower lip at the vibrations that seemed to shake him, and he couldn't decide whether he wanted to watch Quatre thrust into Wufei, or watch the two delicious mouths lick and suck his member. Not wanting Wufei to be uncomfortable, he reached down and released his hands so that Wufei could prop himself up and avoid straining his neck.
Wufei did just that, and reached his hand around Trowa to tease the twin sacs and Trowa's entrance, making the system moan. Meanwhile, Quatre was setting the pace, reaching between his and Wufei's body to grasp Wufei's neglected arousal.
They were fighting to taste Trowa, so Quatre gave in, letting Wufei take over while he worshipped Wufei's exposed neck, nibbling down so he could tease and lick the hardened nipples. Wufei's back arched and he moaned again, asking wordlessly for more, so Quatre complied, letting his teeth graze the nubs before he bit down gently.
Trowa set a hand on Wufei's head and the other on Quatre's, wanting to touch his others but unable to reach much further. With Wufei's fingers plunging into him at the same pace that Quatre's hips were moving, Trowa lost his ability to think beyond feeling and reaching his release. His darkened eyes watched Wufei's eager mouth and he could feel Wufei's movements affected by the push of Quatre's body; each thrust moved Wufei's mouth off of his cock while each withdrawal let Wufei take him in deep once more.
It was the tightening of Trowa's hand in his hair along with that of Quatre's hand around his cock that sent Wufei over the edge and he welcomed his climax, his mouth and hands stilling their ministrations upon Trowa.
Quatre leaned close to lick the bottom of Trowa's shaft, his tongue touching Wufei's lips and reminding the system that his others had yet to reach their climax. Wrapping his legs around Quatre, Wufei encouraged the blonde system to keep moving as he focused on making Trowa come.
With both the talented mouths of his others upon him, Trowa's eyes closed and he found his release, emptying himself into Wufei's waiting mouth. Wufei's fingers continued to move within him, encouraging and drawing out his orgasm. Quatre's mouth left Trowa's once he knew his other had also found his release and he focused on achieving his own.
When Wufei's hand gripped his hip and the other drew him in for a kiss, Quatre knew that he couldn't hold on much longer. He resisted the kiss for several more thrusts before pressing his lips hard against Wufei's, tongue thrusting in deep and tasting Trowa's essence. With another thrust he came hard within Wufei, moaning into the kiss as he frantically tasted both of his others.
He relaxed after a few moments, feeling the gentle touch of Trowa's hand upon his neck and Wufei's arms wrapped around his torso. He basked in the embrace for a moment before sitting back, laughing at the fact that his shirt was a complete mess courtesy of Wufei's climax. Stripping it off as he pulled out of his other, Quatre used it to clean Wufei and himself before tossing it aside.
Trowa lay down beside Wufei, content to see Quatre snuggle up on the other side.
"Still feeling neglected, Wufei?" he asked softly, running a hand up and down Wufei's taut belly.
"No," Wufei sighed. "Not at all."
"Good," Quatre mumbled. "Feeling well entertained?"
"Very well," Wufei muttered. "Now, let me rest."
"Bossy other," Quatre complained. "Good thing for you that I think I'm going through a phase of liking bossy systems."
"Then get some rest and I'll be sure to boss you around later," Wufei yawned. He started when Quatre pet his flaccid cock.
"Promise?" Quatre asked in a sly tone.
"Yes," Wufei said, wondering what he'd gotten himself into. "Now, rest."
Quatre smiled, tangling his fingers with Trowa's over Wufei's belly. Trowa was already mostly asleep, but Quatre saw the quirk of his lips at Wufei's promise.
So Quatre closed his eyes, eager to rest and be energized for when Wufei carried out his promise.
