May 2002 ShenLong

Part 3

Heero was back on earth and enjoying his few days of rest. No Relena to bother him, just time alone... perfect.

Or was it?

Being alone gave him time to think and thinking was not always a good thing. After a couple of days of solitude Heero found his thoughts continuously straying in the direction of his fellow ex pilots. As much as he had tried to stay distanced from them during the wars he found he craved their company. Now with the current peace he could allow himself to care more and admitted that he enjoyed being with them and sharing their thoughts and memories. Idly he wondered if Wufei had made his visit to Trowa and Quatre. Then his thoughts turned to Duo. Surely the braided one had visited by now so it should be safe for him to pay his own visit without the chance of running into the other pilot. He decided to call.

The vid screen flashed and Quatre answered the call. A large smile spread across his face when he saw Heero's cobalt eyes staring back at him. "Heero! What a pleasant surprise." The pleasure in his voice was evident and sincere.

"Hello Quatre. How have you been?"

"Im very well Heero and what about you? You look as handsome as ever."

That brought a blush to Heero's cheeks. "Im back from the summit meeting and have a few days off. I was wondering if the offer of spending a few days with you and catching up is still open?"

The blondes grin widened. "Of course it is Heero, Trowa and I would love to have you come and stay."

"Thanks Quatre, it's been a while since I last saw Tro and I would enjoy catching up with you both."

"When can you come?... How long can you stay?... Oh Trowa will be so pleased to see you." babbled Quatre.

"Who will I be pleased to see?" said Trowa as he entered the young heirs office. "Oh Heero! Hey how are you? Long time no see."

Heero smiled as he saw Trowa's face appear on the screen behind Quatre. "Hi Trowa, I'm well. You're also looking pretty fit I see."

"Yeah well I have to stay in shape to keep up with the boss here." he said and winked as he draped his arms over Quatre's shoulders and planted a big kiss on Quatre's cheek.

Quatre turned several shades of pink and squirmed in his seat.

Heero laughed. "I see I have a *lot* of catching up to do. I was thinking of coming over tomorrow and staying for a few days."

"Great!" smiled Trowa. "When will you arrive?"

"I thought I would leave early and be there for around 10 if that's okay."

"That's fine Heero. We will see you at 10 tomorrow then and please stay as long as you like." Quatre said happily.

"Thanks Quatre. I will see you guys in the morning then." and with one last smile he terminated the call.

Quatre turned in his seat to face Trowa his hand reaching up to caress a cheek. "It will be good to see Heero again." he murmured.

Trowa leaned into the caress. "Mmmm it will. I wonder if he has heard from Duo yet?"

"I don't know, I didn't think to ask." replied Quatre.

"Well we can find out tomorrow." and with a swift kiss to Quatre's lips Trowa left the blonde to finish his work.

Heero arrived at the Winner estate a little before ten. Quatre met him at the door.

"Heero!" he exclaimed. "Welcome, its so good to see you again." He enveloped the other man in a bear hug.

Heero just laughed and wormed his way out of the embrace. "It's good to see you again Quatre."

"Come in.. come in... Trowa is in the library so I will show you to your room first and you can freshen up, then join us for coffee and a good chat." said Quatre as he grabbed Heero's bag and pulled the other behind him.

Heero followed behind Quatre listening to the young mans chatter. It felt good to be back amongst friends. Reaching the room Quatre flung open the door.

"Here you are Heero. I hope everything will be to your satisfaction. The bathroom is just through there." he nodded his head in the direction of another door. "If there is anything you want or need please let me know."

"What I want and need you cannot give me." thought Heero. "Thanks Quatre, everything looks just great. I will be fine."

"Okay then I will leave you to unpack and freshen up. Please join us in the library for some coffee and a good chat when you are done. There is so much to catch up on." with that said the Arab turned and left Heero to settle in.

Heero looked around the room gazing at the luxury that surrounded him. Quatre certainly knew how to live. He wasn't in the least envious of the other. Quite the contrary. He enjoyed his own style of living. He had a rather nice house which was sparsely but comfortably furnished. He didn't want or need for anything. Anything in the chattels sense anyway. What he did want to make his life complete was currently living on L2 with that female. Shaking his head to try to clear all thought of the braided beauty from his mind he began to unpack.

Feeling much refreshed after a shower he headed down to the library to meet once more with his friends. Friends.... Heero mused that thought as he made his way down the stairs. It was good to have friends.

The library door opened and admitted Heero inside, immediately Trowa stood up and placed the book he was reading on the stand next to his chair.

"Heero." he said in his quiet voice. "So good to see you again." and he gave the other a quick embrace before standing back to admire the other man. "I see you have filled out some more since we last saw each other. You're looking really good."

"Thanks Trowa. You have gained a little yourself, suits you though." he smiled.

"That's what I keep telling him." said Quatre as he came up to stand behind his lover.

The three sat down and Heero helped himself to coffee. "So what's all the news since I last spoke with you?" he asked.

Quatre proceeded to fill him in on his latest with Winner Enterprises and Heero informed them of his current status with Relena's security team. The talk switched to Trowa and without going into a lot of detail Trowa told him of his unhappiness at the circus and his subsequent arrival back on earth.

"So you staying long on the earth then Trowa?" he inquired politely.

"He had better." growled Quatre.

Heero raised a questioning eyebrow.

"I'm working for Quatre now." smiled Trowa.

"Yes he is my personal assistant and there is no way I can do my job without him." the blonde added as he scooted across the sofa to press up against his love. To hell with the consequences, there was no way Quatre was going to hide his love anymore. The others could just accept it or not. Either way he didn't care.

Heero watched the display with an amused look on his face.

Trowa peeked out from that unruly bang trying to gauge Heero's reaction to Quatre's vocal and visual display. He needn't have worried.

Heero laughed. A genuine laugh that came from deep inside him. "I wondered just when you two would finally get together."

Quatre looked suitably stunned. "You mean it doesn't bother you?"

Heero smiled again. "No. Why should it?"

"Well, I thought... errr... I wasn't sure.... I mean... Oh hell I don't know what to say." and Quatre looked helplessly at Trowa for assistance.

"Look it doesn't bother me one bit. In fact I am glad to see you are finally together. During the wars we needed each other to retain some form of sanity. It was only a matter of time before it went further."

Trowa smiled back at the Japanese youth. "It seems that Heero has a lot more intuition and insight than we give him credit for little angel." said Trowa softly as he pulled Quatre on to his lap.

"Well all I can say is it's about time. You two deserve some happiness." Heero said as he watched the look of love pass between his two comrades.

"Thanks Heero. That means a lot to us." replied Quatre. "But what about you? You deserve some happiness too."

"Oh don't worry about me I'm doing just fine by myself." said Heero and dropped his eyes.

"But I have Trowa and Wufei has Sally.." began Quatre before a choking sound interrupted him.

"Wufei and Sally !" exclaimed Heero.

"Well yes I know it seems a little hard to believe but they are sharing an apartment together and I know Sally is keen on Wufei. They share the same sort of interests and while Wufei wont admit to it yet he really does feel for the woman." Quatre watched as Heero's mind took all this in.

"Wufei and Sally." he murmured. "I never would have guessed." and he shook his head.

"Then Duo has Hilde."

Trowa noticed as Heero's eyes darkened at the mention of Duo with Hilde. His body language also changed and he sensed the tenseness in the other. He continued to watch Heero carefully from the corner of his eye.

"I naturally thought that seeing as how you spend all your time protecting Relena that you two would become a couple." said Quatre and waited for the others reaction.

Heero's head snapped up at this. "Let me get one thing straight here Quatre." his voice remaining calm despite the inner turmoil. "Protecting Relena is just a job. There is nothing going on between us at all."

"Ahhh but the way she was always hanging around you during the war, following you, and now when we finally have peace you are still with her. You can't tell me that there isn't anything going on there." said Quatre as he tried to dig deeper and get Heero to open up a little.

Trowa watched as Heero seemed at war with himself. He tightened his grip around Quatre's waist and whispered in his ear. 'Be careful little one, don't push him too hard."

Quatre wriggled in Trowa's lap. "I wont."

Heero gazed at his friends. "I told you Quatre, there is absolutely nothing between Relena and me. I just protect the girl. She is an important part of the on going peace and its my job to see that she stays alive to continue that work. I know she has a crush on me but rest assured the love she feels for me is definitely not returned." then under his breath he added "My heart was stolen by another a long time ago."

Trowa, with his keen hearing picked up on that sentence but elected to say nothing. He knew that in time he would be able to get more information from the youth, it was just a case of waiting.

Heero gave Quatre a look that quite clearly said "Drop the subject now." Quatre decided to do just that.

"Tell me Heero, have you heard from Duo recently?" asked Trowa.

Heero's eyes flashed at the mention of Duo's name and he felt the familiar ache rise in his heart as he thought of the violet eyed man. "No I haven't. Why?"

"Well its strange. Quatre contacted him a while ago to tell him that I was back on earth and that you guys were coming for a visit. He said he would try to come down at some stage when they weren't busy and see us."

"Well if he hasn't been yet I would say he is still too busy then."

"But that's not the point. I have a feeling that all is not well there. You see I have tried to call Duo on several occasions and I just get Hilde. She keeps telling me that Duo isn't available and wont give me a number where I can reach him. She's very short and curt with her mouth and I really don't think she has passed on any of our messages. I'm sure Duo would have called otherwise." Trowa's voice sounded troubled.

Heero thought. "Has it ever occurred to you that Duo doesn't want us calling him?"

"No. I had thought that but you know Duo, he always keeps in touch, even if its only a quick call to let us know he's okay. To be honest I'm worried about him."

Heero didn't like the sound of this at all. Having spent so much time with the DeathScythe pilot during the war he knew him well enough to know that Duo would not cut himself off from the other pilots. He rubbed his chin as his brain began to look at all the possible reasons for this unusual behavior."The only thing I can come up with right now is that he is either out on a salvage run and is too far out of communication range or that bitch is cutting him off from us all." The underlying anger was evident.

Quatre's eyes widened at Heero's strong words.

"Well I had thought the same thing, but if Duo was going on a salvage run he would have told one of us. That only leaves one thing..... Hilde." said Trowa softly.

"There is something about that woman I don't like or trust." said Quatre.

"Well there isn't much we can do about it. If Duo wants to contact us then I'm sure he will." said Heero, and yet in his heart he knew that Trowa's concern for the other pilot was not unfounded. "Give him a little more time. For all we know he could have a valid excuse and it's nothing to do with Hilde at all."

"I hope you're right Heero. I will try to call again tomorrow and you see what you think." replied Trowa.

The subject was dropped and more pleasant things discussed. That evening when Heero retired Trowa's words still haunted him. Just what was Duo up to? Why wouldn't Hilde let them talk to him? Climbing into bed he vowed to find out by calling himself in the morning.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Leaning with his back to the wall Duo eyed the people as they passed, sizing up each one, picking out those that may be potential customers. The money didn't last long and he was hungry again. His lean frame while still muscled was getting thinner, and he was no stranger to hunger but the pains still didn't go away. He could have contacted the other pilots, they would have welcomed him with open arms he knew. But what he had done to Hilde still burned inside and he couldn't forgive himself. He wasn't deserving of the pilots care or friendship and until he could forgive himself then he couldn't and wouldn't accept anything from the others. He was too disgusted and full of self loathing to even consider that what had passed may not have been all his fault. He was the man for christ's sake! He was supposed to stay in control and he hadn't.

"Hey there beautiful"

A quiet voice broke into his thoughts and he jolted back to reality to see a tall lean young man a few years older than himself staring at him. Quickly he slipped on his mask. "Ya talkin to me?" he responded huskily.

"Yes. Would you like to go somewhere quiet and enjoy yourself?"

"Sure. Wherever you want man." he replied and leaned forward.

The stranger took his hand and led him down the street to a hotel that looked a little cleaner and not quite as seedy as the ones in the side streets. Before they entered the tall youth looked at him again.

"How much?" he queried.

"Depends on what yer want."

The guy looked his frame up and down and licked his lips. "I want to go all the way. How much?"

Duo did a quick calculation in his head, enough that would see him at least able to eat for a couple more days and told the other the amount.

"Right. And if you're real good I may even give you a tip." was the response.

They entered the hotel and the guy rented a room. Dragging Duo behind him he made his way up the stairs and found the door. Unlocking it they moved swiftly inside.

Duo cast his eyes over the interior. The large bed took up most of the space with a small cabinet containing a TV to one side. Another door led off to the bathroom. "Not bad." he thought to himself. Better than the usual dumps he found himself in. He turned to the man, "Shower first." he said and headed to the bathroom.

Duo finished his shower and came back out to let the other bathe. While the guy was in the bathroom Duo dried himself off and unbound his hair. There was a time when he would never let anyone see him with his hair down. It was something private and sacred to him. But that time was long gone. He found that most of the customers liked his hair loose when they took him, made them feel less guilty he supposed, let them think they were fucking a girl. So Duo put up with it. Another way to punish himself he thought.

Hearing the water turn off he removed his towel from his hips and lay naked on the bed awaiting the other man. He didn't have to wait long. The other appeared clad only in a towel and made his way to the beauty awaiting him on the bed.

Duo laid down the ground rules and the man seemed okay with them. Duo lay the other man down and gently pulled the towel from his body. He was surprisingly quite well toned. Muscular shoulders and firm stomach. Lean legs and the rising arousal indicating his willingness.

Duo set to work. He ran his hands up and down that torso, massaging the muscles as he went. He found a pert nipple and began to toy with it, squeezing and pinching gently. The moans he got were starting to affect him as he felt his own cock begin to harden. Leaning down he took one nipple in his mouth and began to lick and suck at it eliciting further moans. Noting the others shaft fully hard he smiled to himself and then pulled away.

The guy opened his eyes as Duo shifted. "Why did you stop?" he growled.

Duo continued to smile and pulled the man to a sitting position, then he tugged at his legs to get him to sit on the edge of the bed. Realizing what Duo was trying to get him to do the man shifted so he was sitting with his legs slightly apart. Duo slid off the bed and onto his knees between the others legs. He looked up into the others eyes as he reached forward and swiped his tongue across the weeping head of the mans cock.

The guy shuddered as he watched the erotic vision before him and then stifled a moan as Duo's mouth engulfed him, the talented tongue running up the underside of his cock then flicking over the swollen head before engulfing his length into that warm sucking mouth again.

As Duo worked his mouth and tongue over that hard shaft so he reached between his own legs and finding his entrance began to work a finger inside preparing himself. He continued to tease and torment that cock, bringing the man closer to the edge but not letting him find the release he wanted as he stretched his passage. Judging himself to be ready he reached for his pants and removed a foil packet. Releasing the guy from his mouth he ripped open the foil with his teeth.

He worked the condom over the man's length and then pushed him once more onto his back on the bed. Then he straddled his hips and reaching between his legs took the base of the shaft in his hand, positioning it at his entrance and beginning to lower himself onto that delicious length.

The guy watched as Duo began to impale himself. His eyes lidded with lust. This little slut was good. A very talented mouth and now it was time to find out what that body could do. He groaned as he felt the head of his cock push through that tight ring of muscle and into the warm depths of the boy's body.

Duo dropped himself slowly, taking the full length of the other, feeling silky balls brush against his thighs as he seated himself to the hilt. Taking a minute to adjust he began to raise and lower himself a little at a time savoring the feeling of being filled.

The guy was eager for action and placing his hands on Duo's hips he took over and began to lift Duo as his hips thrust forward. He quickly established a rhythm enjoying the warmth and tightness of Duo's passage.

Angling his hips slightly Duo managed to get the head of the guys cock to rub against his prostate giving him pleasure. If he had to sell his body for sex to eat then he was damn sure he was going to enjoy it!. He could feel the guy's excitement building and knew the end was close. He reached between his own legs and wrapped his hand around the shaft of his penis stroking roughly.

Watching the boy take his own arousal and begin to pump it sent the man over the edge. He cried out with pleasure as his climax hit, shooting from the slit to be trapped by the latex wrapping.

Duo gave a few more strokes and found his own completion. With a soft cry he shot forth stream upon stream of creamy fluid to cover both of their sweaty bodies and then dropped to lie upon the mans chest, both regaining the oxygen their lungs craved.

As the effect of his climax left him so Duo raised his body and felt the soft shaft slip from his passage. He lay next to the man and reaching down removed the condom from the guy's cock. He tossed it into the waste basket. After a few more minutes he got up and went back into the bathroom to clean the stickiness from himself. When he returned he picked up his clothes and began to dress. As he re braided his hair so the man stared at him.

"That was one of the best fuck's I have had in a while." he said.

"Pleased you liked it." was Duo's reply.

"Oh I did my little slut. In fact I liked it so much I would like to fuck you on a regular basis."

Duo looked cautiously at the man. "I'm not after a relationship." he stated flatly.

"Nor am I. But you are such a good lay that I would like to fuck you each week." he purred. "I have get togethers each weekend... you know the sort, a few guy's over a game of cards a couple of sluts like yourself and some hot sweaty screwing."

Duo's mind was working.

The guy sensing that it was just money that was causing Duo to hesitate played his trump card. "You would be very well paid for your services." he said slyly.

"What exactly do you want of me if I agree?"

"Just the normal stuff while we play cards, keep the drinks full, top up the snacks. Then after the game maybe a couple of blow jobs or hand jobs, the odd fuck. Interested?"

Duo licked his lips. The temptation was too good. "Okay." he agreed. "I will try it once and see from there."

"Good my little slut. Here I will give you all the details." and he wrote down the necessary information on a card, then he reached into his wallet and paid Duo. "I will see you on Saturday.

'Yeah, sure thing man." Duo pocketed the credits and card and left the room.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Heero sat with Trowa in Quatre's office. He rubbed his sweaty palms on his jeans as Trowa placed the call to the salvage yard. The screen flickered as Hilde's face appeared.

"Oh it's you Trowa." the girl said.

"Hello Hilde. Would I be able to speak with Duo please?" Trowa asked in his soft voice.

"He's not here." was the curt reply.

"Can you tell me when he will be there then?" pressed Trowa.

"Look I told you before, I'm not his keeper. I don't know when he will available to talk to you so stop calling here."

Heero had had enough of the conversation and moving across he pushed Trowa gently out of the way. Staring at the girl he spoke quietly but firmly. "Hilde its Heero here. We need to talk to Duo and stop fobbing us off with excuses. Either let us talk to him now or give us a number where we can contact him."

Hilde's eyes went wide and a flash of fear swept across the depths as she stared back into cold blue ice then quickly she looked away. Heero saw the fear and a chill swept up his spine. The way the girl avoided looking at him confirmed his suspicion... all was not right.

"Oh Heero. I wasn't aware you were with Quatre and Trowa."

"Obviously." was the sarcastic reply. "Now where is Duo?"

"I will tell you the same, he isn't here at the moment and I don't have a contact number, now stop bugging me." she terminated the call.

Heero sat staring at the suddenly blank screen before him and then slammed his fist down hard upon the table. "That woman!" he growled.

Trowa placed a calming hand upon his shoulder. "Each time we call we get the same response. Something is up I know it and Hilde isn't going to tell us squat."

Heero thought for a moment. "You're right. We need to go to L2. Its the only way we are going to talk to Duo. She is hiding something so we need to confront her. Why I will bet that she hasn't told Duo we have been calling."

"I will see if Quatre can spare me for a couple of days and see what I can find out."

Heero was worried. As much as he cared for Duo and wanted to find him to make sure all was okay he couldn't get the time off from work to go to L2 himself. Besides he wasn't sure what his reaction would be when facing the other man and the last thing he needed right now was to turn his world upside down.

Quatre was visibly distressed when Trowa told him of the conversation between himself, Heero and Hilde and insisted upon accompanying Trowa to L2. "We will both go Trowa. With two of us surely Hilde will back down & let us talk to Duo." he said.

"Be careful then." said Heero. He couldn't get that momentary look of fear that appeared on the girls face out of his head. "I wish I could go with you but I have to head back, Relena has another appointment and I am needed there. I will leave you the number of the hotel we will be staying in and my code name. That way you can speak to me direct. Let me know as soon as you get there and find out anything."

Heero returned to the city and his pressing engagement with Relena, Trowa and Quatre took the Winner shuttle and headed for L2. Wufei, having been briefed on the current situation agreed to stay on earth and play middle man between Heero and the others.
