Iia Disera Sequel Part 6
Something tickled his nose and he turned away, trying to go back to sleep. The quiet chuckle told him that his other was awake, and it only took a moment for Heero to remember that they'd fallen asleep after some rather vigorous activities. They'd made love slowly, as if to tell one another that they were there, would always be there. After reliving the horrible memory of almost losing one another, the desperate edge to their touch had worn them out and they'd fallen asleep clutching one another. It wasn't often that Duo woke before he did, and even now all Heero wanted to do was to keep sleeping.
He lifted his hand from Duo's waist and relieved the itch on his nose, then reached across to Duo's shoulder and snuggled in close. That alone should tell Duo he wanted to sleep.
He hadn't expected to be tickled again, this time on his exposed neck, and he shivered when Duo brushed the end of his braid along the exposed skin. Then, a hand was at his ear, setting a small device in place. The hearing mechanism was one of Duo's newest developments, made so that spoken words were immediately translated to a preset language that the wearer understood. It negated the use of the microphone that Duo wore, and the fact that Duo wanted him to wear it then meant his other wanted to talk. Furrowing his eyebrows, he sighed.
"Sleep," he mumbled.
"Wake up," Duo returned.
"No." Heero nipped his other's neck, and to his surprise, Duo's hand slid into his hair, holding him there.
"Do that again," Duo said.
It took a moment and some effort to lift his head up and look into Duo's teasing eyes. "Don't tell me you're a masochist," he said warily.
"What does that mean?"
"That you get aroused because of pain," Heero explained. To demonstrate, he slid his hand down Duo's chest and pinched a nipple. There was a sharp intake of breath and then Duo was pushing his hand away.
"No," he grumbled, pulling Heero's hand around him so they could hold one another.
"Thanks to you, I no longer want to sleep," Heero said, rubbing his cheek against Duo's. "That's not fair. I always let you sleep in."
"Iiala aysuei," Duo said, not sounding the least bit apologetic. "I was lonely lying here awake by myself. I was watching you before you managed to make me your pillow, and then all I could see was your hair. Now I know why you like to watch me when I sleep."
Heero smiled. Watching Duo was a good past time and Heero savoured each moment he had to commit Duo's features to his memory. The images surfaced and Heero slid his leg up across Duo's hips, settling them intimately together. Duo's hand immediately trailed down his back and managed to squeeze a buttock before Heero caught it and pinned it above Duo's head. With another quick movement, he managed to secure both of Duo's hands above his other's head, taking both wrists into one of his hands.
"I'm going to punish you for waking me," he whispered, shifting onto his knees so that they were on either side of Duo's hips. Trailing a hand slowly down Duo's face and body, Heero summoned the most wicked grin he could. "I'm going to touch you and make you want me so badly that you'll do whatever I say."
Duo tugged against Heero's firm grip and realized what Heero wanted. "You like it when I touch you," he replied in an almost haughty tone.
Heero paused, then nodded. "True enough," he said. "But I'm sure that I could make up for that by touching you." His index finger teased a nipple into hardness and Duo bit back a moan.
It took a moment for Heero to figure out how to keep Duo's hands above his head, and Heero leaned closer. "Promise me you'll keep your hands here, or at least, away from your body, or mine?" he asked.
Duo swallowed. Heero really meant for him not to take part in manual stimulation. Arians took their promises very seriously, especially their promises to their other, and Duo wouldn't deny Heero when he could try his best to keep the promise. He nodded.
Heero kissed him, using the action to tell his other just how much he appreciated the promise. Then he pulled back, licking the lips one last time before he straightened. "How badly do you want me, Duo?" he asked softly, letting his hands trace Duo's body from his fingers to his wrists and down his arms, sending a delightful shiver through Duo's body.
"Always want you," Duo said.
"But how badly?" Heero asked.
Duo didn't answer; he closed his eyes as Heero's hands moved over his hips and began to touch his cock. It didn't take much to convince it to harden, and Duo's hips shifted restlessly when he felt Heero's cock nudge his. His hands twitched, wanting to reach for Heero, but he held himself in check.
Heero kept the movements of his hips to a minimum and focused on mapping out Duo's face and torso with his hands. From tracing Duo's nose to toying with his nipples, from squeezing biceps to drawing fingers along ribs, Heero paid meticulous attention to his hands and Duo's body.
Duo watched the intense expression on Heero's face, especially in his darkening eyes, and felt the reverence in his other's touches. He desperately wanted to return the gesture, to speak without words his love for Heero, but keeping still was what he had to do. So he settled for visually satisfying his need and let Heero carry on.
Just as Duo thought that this wasn't much of a punishment, Heero's hands left him, drifting down to their groins. His cock twitched with anticipation of Heero's touch, but all he felt was the rub of Heero's hardness against his before Heero's touch was completely removed from him.
Heero remained on his knees, parting them far enough that he wasn't touching Duo's waists. His groin wasn't far from Duo's, but it would have to do.
"You're right, Duo," he said in a low voice. "I like it when you touch me. But I know that you like touching me too. So to punish you, I'll simply have to pretend that you're touching me, and you don't actually get to do it."
Duo's jaw dropped. His other was denying him the right to touch his body?
"For now, yes," Heero said, and Duo realized he'd spoken aloud. "But you know my body well enough that you can feel the touches from memory, can't you?" he asked, tracing his hand down his body. "You know these feel, don't you?" he asked, teasing his hardened nipples. "And you know where my muscles are, my ribs, my bones?"
Duo swallowed hard, his fingers twitching as if his hands were the ones tracing down Heero's torso.
"Feels good when you touch me, Duo," Heero breathed. "I like it especially when your touch is firm, telling me that you feel me, feel what I want, can read my body and do what makes me feel good."
It was taking more and more effort to keep his hands from his or Heero's body, and Duo fisted the pillow.
Heero began to stroke his cock, pleasuring himself and watching Duo's eyes as they darkened and followed the movements of his hand. Precum beaded at the slit of his cock and dripped down onto Duo's body, making Duo moan. His fingers imitated the way Duo's fingers teased his hardness; followed the way Duo made him desperate for climax.
"Heero," Duo moaned. "I want to keep my promise, I do, but I'm losing myself," he said. "I can't. Iiala aysuei, but I'll be too far gone to..."
Heero leaned forward, bracing his weight on one hand so he could press a finger to Duo's lips, silencing him.
"Only for as long as you can," he said softly. "That's all I ask."
Duo nodded. Heero's finger left his lips and the look of pleasure that crossed his other's face told him that the hand was stroking over Heero's cock again. This time, Duo focused on Heero's face and expression, on the parted lips that panted and moaned.
"Duo," Heero rasped. "Your hand feels good touching me like that. More," he whimpered.
Duo's hands flexed as he gripped the pillow as he tried to hold on just a little longer.
Heero suddenly straightened, giving Duo a full view of his arched body, hand stroking his need. He released the pillow and was about to reach for Heero when he felt Heero's hand on his cock. Giving it two quick pumps, Heero held it upright and the next thing Duo knew, he'd grabbed his other by the hips, pushing him down onto his hardness even though Heero had already taken him in all the way.
Heero's hand stilled in stroking itself as he ducked his head down, shifting his hips to feel every inch of Duo's hardness. The hands on his hips gripped him hard and guided him up before pushing him back down.
"Mireh!" Duo moaned loudly as he claimed his other. Heero groaned when Duo guided him up again and pushed him down while lifting his hips, meeting Heero's downward thrust.
"Duo!" He leaned down and desperately claimed his other's lips. Each thrust carried him further towards losing himself, and he knew the moment Duo flipped them over that his other was already too far gone to wait any longer. The motion dislodged the device in his ear, and when Duo spoke again, all Heero heard was Arian.
Later, Heero would reflect once again that when he lost himself in the intense pleasure of making love with his other, he generally had only vague recollections of their physical movements and a firm memory of pleasure. He rationalized that it was why Arians loved intimacy as much as they did; they would always strive to relive and to renew that memory.
This time, he remembered bracing a hand to the headboard to prevent his head from knocking into it; Duo's movements were that frenzied, having been teased for so long and denied his lover's body.
"Iia disera...Iia disera...Duo!"
"Joavu saruow, mireh...mireh..."
His other hand gripped Duo's shoulder and he desperately tried to breathe beyond the kisses and the pleasure. Then, he yelled loudly, intense pleasure washing through him with a firm touch to his weeping cock and the feeling of a hand resting over his rapidly beating heart. Heat washed through him as Duo found his release and coated Heero's insides.
The next thing he knew, Duo was kissing him, this time in a much more gentle fashion. Hearing the Arian words as Duo pulled away, Heero groped about for his dislodged earpiece and set it back into place.
"Say that again?" he asked, looking at Duo.
His other looked vaguely disappointed and leaned down to rub their noses together. "I said that the Arian language sounds good coming from you."
"Arian?" Heero asked.
"You spoke Arian," Duo clarified.
That was a first for Heero, and he tried to recall what it was he had said.
"Mireh," Duo breathed. "And you are horrible at delivering punishments, my other."
Heero raised an eyebrow at Duo. "And from who have you experienced a better punishment, other?" he asked, gripping Duo's arm tightly to remind Duo to be careful with his answer.
"No one," Duo replied quickly, then smirked. "I just think I'd do a pretty good job delivering a punishment to you. At least, I think it'd be more effective."
"Fortunately, there's no reason for you to punish me," Heero said, brushing the bangs from Duo's forehead. "So you'll just have to remember it for next time."
Duo took a towel and cleaned them both before he lay down pulled his other close. "Rest a short while," he advised. "The others were all sleeping the last I checked before I woke you up, and I think food won't be served for a little longer."
Gaining release right after sleeping usually left them wide awake, and yet, neither Duo nor Heero could figure out why they felt so lethargic.
"How much further are we from Zera?" Heero asked. "Do we need to prepare anything?"
"Not too far now," Duo replied, pulling the blanket up over their cooling bodies. "And I think everything is prepared for. I can't wait to explore Zera with you," Duo said yet again. "I wonder what they're like, what they do for a living, what sorts of experiences we'll bring with us when we're done there."
"How long will we stay?" Heero asked drowsily.
"However long we want to," Duo said. "However long you want to," he amended.
Heero was touched that Duo always thought of him; it was obvious that Duo placed him first above all else and if Heero didn't constantly find himself in new situations, he would have wanted to do the same for Duo.
"I know," Duo said, and Heero realized that this time, he'd spoke aloud. "If we were going to Hydro, I know you'd think of me first whenever you could. You already do, Heero, and when I do, it's because I want to. It isn't an obligation. It's just the way an Arian treats his other."
Heero nodded and brushed another kiss against Duo's lips. "Saruowa," he murmured. "Sleep well, Duo."
"Mireh," Duo sighed, settling comfortably. "First thing we're getting when we wake up is food."
"Agreed."
Shortly after eating, Duo dragged Heero with him to the control center to check the messages awaiting his attention.
Scanning the Arian text, Duo made a sound of surprise. "Hey, Heero, I just got some information on Zera."
"What is it?" Heero asked, moving closer to look.
"Zera is apparently a large planet," Duo mused. "If the numbers we have on Hydro are accurate, then Zera is about twice as large, and there is only one single land mass there. Apparently that is where they land travelling ships, because everyone else lives in the water."
"They live in water?" Heero asked, surprised.
"They can breathe in it," Duo said, scanning the computer screen. "But they, well, apparently they're called Kios. The Kios live in different cities, I guess. Each one has a dome that blocks the water out. I'm guessing the city doors are like the hatch leading in and out of Leo? Pressurizing, filtering, all of that before the inner doors are opened."
"So how do we get into one of those cities?"
"Something was developed to allow for non-Kios to breathe under water, although I'm not sure what it is. It will last until it is removed. Then, they have transporters of sorts to take us where we need to go."
"Do you know how to swim, Duo?" Heero asked curiously.
"No."
"Adua doesn't have water?"
"Adua doesn't have that much water," Duo corrected.
"I can teach you to swim."
"You know how?"
Heero nodded. "It was a part of my training. Swimming is really good for conditioning the body."
Duo twisted in his seat, kneeling on it so he was facing his other. He grinned deviously. "I know something else that is good for conditioning your body," he said.
"I can teach you how to swim," Heero said. "It'd be nice to be able to show you something in return."
Duo's gaze softened. "You've shown me many things, Heero. But I guess I won't complain if you're offering so nicely. Except I don't exactly have that much water here on Leo."
Heero chuckled. "You don't have a lot of water, but you do have an anti-gravity room," he pointed out.
"All right," Duo said, turning again to close the information window. "Let's go learn how to swim."
Moments later, they were floating in the anti-gravity room, lines attached to the wall and each grasping a handhold.
"When you swim," Heero started. "You travel by kicking your legs like this." Taking the handhold with both hands, Heero let his body drift out until it was horizontal. Once he was, he tested kicking his legs and found that he wasn't moving in any direction.
"Just like that?"
"This is one way," Heero said. "Try it."
Duo let his body drift out until it was parallel to Heero's. Watching Heero's legs as they moved slowly, he imitated.
"Good," Heero encouraged. "In reality, you kick your legs quicker than that." He demonstrated a leisurely pace, and Duo followed without faltering.
"That's all there is?" he asked.
"No." Heero pulled himself back towards the wall so that he was upright once more. He waited until Duo, too, was upright before he continued. "Then you add the arms." Slowly, he demonstrated the arm movements of the front crawl. "I'd teach you how to breathe between these strokes too, but apparently, we won't need to breathe."
Duo watched carefully before he imitated Heero once more.
"Now," Heero said after he was sure that Duo was getting it as accurate as he possibly could without actually trying the motions in water. "We put it together." Letting himself drift to the end of his line, Heero moved his body into a horizontal line once more. Once he had stopped drifting, he showed Duo how to synchronize the movements of his arms and legs.
To his surprise, Duo began to laugh.
"What?" Heero asked, stopping immediately.
"You look kind of silly," Duo chuckled. "You aren't actually getting anywhere."
"Well, I would be if we were in water," Heero grumbled. "Do you want to learn or not?"
"Okay, okay," Duo said, drifting to the end of his line and imitating Heero's horizontal pose. "Like this?"
Heero studied Duo for a moment, then repeated the motion so Duo could imitate him once again. Soon enough, Duo was doing the front crawl in anti-gravity, only faltering once in a while. Heero felt sure that Duo would do better in actual water, when there was resistance and the movements wouldn't feel as awkward. Moving close, he caught Duo's hand, letting his other still his motion before he guided the arms, telling Duo to keep kicking no matter what.
When the motions seemed right, they removed the lines from their waists and tried the motions with a gentle push from the wall. Heero watched as Duo glided several times from one wall to another and back. Clipping the lines back on, they drifted close to one another.
"You're pretty quick at this," Heero said.
Duo grinned and pulled Heero closer. "Does the quick student get a prize?"
Heero pretended to ponder for a moment. Leaning forward, he touched their noses together but pressed his fingers to Duo's mouth to prevent his other from kissing him. He disengaged the line from his waist with his free hand, then gave Duo a quick kiss on his nose before pushing against his shoulders. The effect was immediate; he was able to float away from Duo as Duo was pushed toward the wall.
"The quick student might get a prize if he can catch me," he teased.
Duo rose immediately to the challenge, deftly removing his line from his waist and kicking away from the wall. By then, Heero had reached the opposite wall and kicked off in another direction.
The chase lasted a while, until Heero paused, clutching a handhold and looking below him to where Duo was at the bottom of the room. Both of their chests were heaving. Heero watched as Duo's eyes glanced in different directions as if calculating a course. His other was good at this game; it was a surprise to Heero that he'd managed to evade Duo for as long as he had.
He wondered briefly if his other was simply letting him play this game. Deciding to test that theory, he spoke.
"Hey Duo."
"Hm?" Duo's attention focused onto Heero once more.
"Back on Hydro, we wear special clothes to swim."
"Oh?" Duo looked interested. "What did it look like?"
"Males only cover the lower half of their body," Heero explained. "As a courtesy of sorts, you could say. You wore either swimming trunks or briefs."
"Trunks?" Duo asked, frowning. He made a motion with his hand, forming what looked like a box. "Trunk?" he asked again.
"No," Heero laughed, shaking his head. "Imagine these pants, but looser."
"Okay."
"Now imagine that they don't go all the way down to our feet, but just above the knee."
Duo's eyes widened. "And nothing else?"
"But if you want to swim fast," Heero continued. "The trunks create drag, which doesn't let you swim as fast as you can. That's why you wear briefs."
"You wore these briefs in training," Duo guessed.
"That's right."
"What do they look like?" Duo asked curiously.
"Imagine these pants," Heero said, readying himself for a continuation of the chase. "And I'm not wearing a shirt," he reminded Duo. "And the briefs, they cover the ass, and this area only." Heero drew the lines to indicate what the briefs would look like from the front.
Duo gaped at him for a second, and then he was in motion. Heero kicked off from the wall in Duo's direction but just out of reach. He managed to touch and kick off of five more walls before he twisted around and found himself headed straight towards Duo. He realized that Duo had cheated and used the small thrusters at his heels to stop his motion and put him into Heero's path. But Heero had pushed too hard from the wall, and before he could use his own thrusters, he'd collided into Duo, who wrapped his arms firmly around Heero.
They were cruising towards the wall and Heero had to wrap his legs around his other to meet the wall feet first and prevent Duo from smacking into it. Giving a gentle shove, he sent their bodies moving gently away from the wall.
"Covering this," Duo said, his hands cupping Heero's ass and one sliding around to his front to cup his growing arousal, "and nothing else?"
"You didn't play fair," Heero said. "You used the thrusters."
"And nothing else?" Duo asked again, refusing to be distracted.
"That's right," Heero murmured. "Covering the essentials and nothing else."
Duo moaned, tilting his head forward onto Heero's shoulder. "Now that isn't fair," he complained. "Hydro's clothing sounds much more fun than Adua's!"
Heero couldn't deny that Duo could probably look very, very good in human clothing. He was willing to bet that Duo would be attractive in a variety of colors.
"We wore long sleeved shirts," he murmured, watching as Duo lifted his head to listen. "With buttons right down the front from the neck," he said, trailing his hand down the middle of Duo's torso in demonstration. "And if you were wearing something like that, I would touch you with one hand." Heero followed his words with the action. "And slowly unbutton your shirt from the bottom."
Duo breathed in deeply, listening with rapt attention, his hips shifting just once against Heero's hand.
"As I unbutton your shirt, I'd part it slowly and kiss, nip, lick," Heero continued, "all the way up your chest." He walked two fingers up the line he had drawn before. "And suck right here, between your clavicle," he added. "And then kiss up your throat, pausing to mark you where your pulse is," he said, brushing the spot.
"Heero," Duo moaned softly.
"And then I'd press my lips against yours and swallow your moans." Heero felt Duo's hand touch the wall behind him, felt Duo's legs shift as he set the small thrusters into motion to propel them sideways until Duo found a handhold. The moment he did, Heero moved his hand from Duo's neck to around the back of his head, pulling his other in for a slow kiss.
Gripping the handhold gave Duo the leverage he needed to press Heero against the wall. He growled when Heero's hand left his arousal and was surprised when, in one swift movement, Heero had managed to grip the same handhold and turn them around so that Duo was pressed between Heero and the wall.
"You're mine now," Heero murmured against Duo's lips before pulling back. "And you have to do what I say."
Duo nodded, setting his hands on Heero's shoulder only to keep them anchored together. Gazing into Heero's darkening eyes, Duo spoke.
"I'll do whatever you say."
