Chapter Two
Heero watched the three go, wondering what the hell they meant, before he met Duo's eyes boldly. He was completely unfazed by the look in those eyes. At least externally. Something about the gleam in them was making him nervous.
"So," Duo spoke up suddenly. "You like males in bed?"
Heero's eyebrows shot up towards his hairline, and he narrowed his eyes suspiciously as he tried to figure out what was going on. Why had Quatre whispered something in Duo's ear? *What* had he whispered? Then it hit him. The
blonde was an Empath. "The blonde's an Empath, isn't he?" he asked in monotone.
Duo seemed to frown slightly at his tone. "First of all, his name is Quatre. But yes, he *is* an Empath." The gorgeous head tilted slightly to the right. "Why? And you didn't answer my question you know."
Frowning slightly, he let his eyes run over Duo as he tried to grasp something from the posture of the man in front of him. The pose he was in was slightly... Seductive. |*SEDUCTIVE?!* Well... Two can play at this game!| "What do you think?" was his reply. Keeping his voice toneless was tough, but Duo would have no trouble reading his emotions through the gleam in *his* eyes.
Duo blinked slightly. Then his smirk grew. "I think you do," he replied, but his voice was slightly huskier than normal.
“Well then," he said softly. "You'd be right." Then he whirled, jumped through the window, and pulled a trick that would make it look as if he'd simply disappeared.
Duo stared, gaping, at the now-open window Heero had just fled through. There was a timid knock on the door, but Duo barely registered it. He was still too shocked by the man's sudden...disappearance. The door opened slightly, and as he continued to gape at the window, he realized that Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei were watching him, confusion written all over their faces.
“Uh...Duo?" Wufei was the first to speak up. "Where'd he go?"
Shaking his head sharply, he shrugged, completely baffled. "I don't know. One minute, he's standing in front of me, the next he's jumped out the window and somehow vanished!" he replied, still blinking slightly in amazement.
He was startled out of his stupor by a cold voice from outside his doorway. "Duo, I *demand* to know why the hell I there was a Shor-d'na in your room."
Grinning, he swung the door open. "Kess[1]! My man!" The Masz-d'ra just raised an impassive eyebrow. Scowling at him, Duo turned and threw his hands up in disgust. "I give up!"
Half-turning to frown comically at the man in front of him, he glared, to see an eyebrow lift in slight amusement. He gaped at the Masz-d'ra in amazement. Kess had never shown that much emotion before! Feeling slightly faint, he managed to get to his bed before his knees gave out, still gaping at the gold-eyed man in front of him.
Quatre, Wufei, and Trowa were staring at him oddly. Kess was just looking more amused by the second. Shaking his head in amazement, he stood up and walked towards the door, glaring at Kess until the man moved. "I need food," Duo snapped emotionlessly. "Come on."
Kess watched with slightly narrowed eyes as Duo walked past him. |What's with him?| he thought, confused. Shrugging mentally, he turned and followed him, motioning for the other three to follow. Frowning, he puzzled over why Duo wasn't dead. There *had* been a Shor-d'na in his rooms...
:Duo?: he mentally asked softly.
Duo seemed slightly startled at his starting a conversation. But he recovered fast. :Yes?: was the weary reply.
Frowning, Kess stretched his legs a bit to catch up to his General. Though he would never admit it, he was worried. :You're not chattering,: he replied dryly.
:Heh. So I'm not. What of it?:
Kess scowled as he glared down at the shorter man. :Something's wrong, and I want to know what,: he snapped.
The braided boy sighed and glared up at him a little less vehemently. :That Shor-d'na is the problem,: Duo replied softly. :He's absolutely gorgeous.:
Kess's eyebrows flew to his hairline. So *that* was what was bothering the other man. :Ah.: Then, puzzled, he stared down at Duo curiously. :Why is that bothering you?: he asked curiously, shoving down the stab of jealousy he felt.
:Because my orders are to bring him back to Treize dead,: Duo snapped irritably, yet there was an underlying current of sadness to his voice.
:No they weren't,: Kess replied, startled. :They were to bring him back for questioning. And it's extremely difficult to question someone if they're not longer among the living.:
He noticed the brunette blink slightly, before a little of his normal energetic bounce appeared in his step.
"You know," Kess said matter-of-factly, "it's extremely hard to believe that you are a general. And I am *not* calling you that, I'm just naming your status," he added before Duo could get all worked up.
"Oh?" The mischievous glint was back in Duo's eyes. "And why is that?"
"Because you don't *walk,*" he replied, "you *bounce.* And you're always grinning, you never shut up, and you roll around on the floor with children and dogs." He nodded firmly.
Turning slightly, he was greeted to the sight of Quatre, Wufei, and even Trowa gaping at him in surprise. "What?" he demanded. "Who says I can only say ten words a day?"
They all shook their heads in unison and started forward as they managed to close their mouths, and stifling a chuckle, Kess followed their example, nudging Duo slightly, who was turning red with suppressed laughter at the expressions on the other three's faces.
Scowling slightly, Kess wacked him upside the head, and he stopped trying not to laugh abruptly. The beautiful Elven features returned to their normal color, and Kess nodded in satisfaction. Turning away from the grimacing features of his general, he fixed his eyes in front of him. |God, he's gorgeous... I envy Wufei.|[2]
:*Why* do you envy me?:
He would have jumped if hadn't been trained in controlling his reactions to sudden actions, words... As it was he blinked in surprise. :Heh?: he asked, mental voice tinged with confusion.
:You were just thinking that you envied me,: came the irritated response.
Kess resisted the urge to turn around and glower at the La-an. Barely. :And just who gave you permission to go snooping around in my head?: he demanded.
:Eh-heh-!:
He snorted mentally. :Well, if you really want to know, it's because Duo is absolutely gorgeous.:
He could practically hear Wufei blink. :Eh?:
:Don't think I don't know what you two do at night,: Kess snapped, rapidly loosing his patience.
:Oh...: Wufei seemed surprised. :Well... We don't do it every night...:
:I'm well aware of that,: Kess drawled in response. :You get it now?:
:Yeah, I think so... I'm just...surprised.:
:What? That I'm gay?: Kess snapped. :Or that I wish it was me instead of you?:
:Uh...Both, actually..,: Wufei replied hesitantly. :If you want, I'll *let* it be you instead of me, next time...:
Narrowing his eyes, he looked over his shoulder at Wufei, who was watching him slightly nervously as he nibbled slightly on his lower lip. :Are you serious?:
:Yes,: was the immediate reply.
Nodding his head sharply, turning his head to find Duo watching curiously, his head tilted slightly to the side. His eyes flickered to Wufei for a moment, before returning to him in inquiry. :It was nothing.:
Duo frowned slightly, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. |What the hell does he *mean* it was nothing?! It was *definitely* something!|
:Maxwell?: Duo blinked, startled, as he heard Wufei's voice in his head. :Eh?:
:What do you think of Kess?: Wufei sounded almost...hesitant?!
:Heh?: Confused, he turned to stare at Wufei, walking into Kess as they turned a corner and he kept walking straight. "Sorry," he apologized, before scowling slightly at Wufei. :Why?:
:Just curious.: Wufei paused for a second. :So? Your answer?:
:Well.. He's...quiet. And barely shows any emotion, and he's a major jerk at times...: He hesitated slightly, before firming his resolve. :And he's absolutely gorgeous.:
:Aa... You know, Maxwell?: Wufei said conversationally. :I'm starting to wonder if you have a fetish for males with wild hair that falls all over the place.:
Duo *did* give in to a childish urge. Turning, he screwed up his face and stuck his tongue out at the Wufei, before huffing proudly and lifting his chin. He could hear Wufei choke, and Quatre laughed softly. Trowa as usual was silent as a rock. Looking at Kess from the corner of his eye, he fought not to gape. The man had a small smile playing on his lips. |Whoa... This is getting creepy...|
|Wait a minute! I didn't change my clothes![3]| With that sudden realization, Duo came to an abrupt stop, causing Trowa and Quatre to walk right into him.
"What is it?" Quatre asked, puzzled.
Scowling at his lapse of sense, Duo indicated his clothes. "I seem to have forgotten what I was wearing last night," he explained softly.
Kess, who was now several feet in front of him, turned and cocked his head to the right. "What'd you stop for?"
Grimacing, he pointed at his pants. Kess blinked slightly, seeming to take them for the first time. "Aa."
“Normal talkative self, I see," Duo grumbled, before turning and stalking back to his rooms to make himself decent.
An hour later, Duo walked out of the huge room where they'd be eating all their meals for their time staying here, stuffed to the brim and aching for a horse ride. "Where are the stables?" he muttered to himself, looking around.
Kess looked at him oddly. "I'll show you," he offered.
Duo blinked at him, startled, but nodded. "All right..."
He watched as Kess walked in front of him, trying not to drool over the gorgeous ass all but poured into the skin-tight red leather breeches that was part of their uniform. A pair of loose, gold-colored boots reached half-way up his chiseled calves, and a dark, dark red jacket with intricate gold embroidery was draped over the broad, muscular shoulders. And underneath that was a skin tight shirt that matched his gold eyes perfectly, with a red design covering the front.[4] He barely repressed the urge to shiver.
And as Duo walked down the hall behind him, dressed in the exact same uniform except in black and silver[5], he licked his lips slightly, watching the sleekly muscled thighs move. He shook himself, realizing he was getting hard and it would be extremely visible in these tight breeches. |Dammit Duo, stop day dreaming. He's not interested, so stop torturing yourself!|
“Duo!"
He blinked, to find Kess glaring at him, looking pretty peeved.
"Y-yeah?"
Kess's eyes narrowed briefly, before the scowl faded into that impassive mask Duo was so used to. "We're at the stables."
"Oh... Heh! Right," he stammered slightly, wondering why the hell he was stammering, as he looked around. He forced a grin across his features, and turned to look around for his horse, Shinigami. Grin turning genuine as he spotted the blue-black mare, he bounced over to her, and his grin softened into a warm smile as he gazed deep into her silver eyes. "Hey girl," he murmured, running his hand absently through her blue-black mane.
She whinnied, and laughing, he grabbed her tack and put it on her, and turned, reins in hand, to find Kess watching him.
"What?" he asked, puzzled.
"You mind if I ride with you?" he asked, face and voice impassive.
|Mind?! Why the hell would I mind?| He shrugged carelessly. "Go ahead," he said instead, grinning as he led Shinigami out of her stall and out into the street, before turning and waiting for Kess.
A few minutes later, Kess walked out, leading his tall stallion Surtr[6]. The palomino was an odd stallion however; he had gold eyes to match his riders and his mane and tail were blood red. Grinning at Kess, Duo swung up into Shinigami's saddle gracefully, and as soon as Kess had mounted, set an easy walk through the crowded streets.
Duo took in the sights eagerly, looking this way and that. People bustled all around, but as soon as they saw them, they moved out of the way respectfully, nodding at each of them. Duo waved to all of them, grinning wildly as Shinigami pranced elegantly through the streets.
But as soon as they were out of the city boundaries, Duo let out a loud whoop and urged Shinigami into a gallop.
Laughing, he turned in his saddle to see Kess on Surtr right behind him. He waved at him, before turning and leaning forward so he'd be blocking less wind. Next second he knew, Kess was right beside him, leaning over Surtr's gracefully arched neck, and staring straight ahead, a determined look on his face.
Neither saw the Prussian eyes narrow slightly in the shadows, or the silhouetted form slip into another shadow.
Up in one of the tallest towers in the fortress, however, Wufei stood and scowled out the window as he watched the shadow follow the two.
Laughing continuously, Duo dismounted Shinigami and handed the reins over to one of the stable hands. "That was fun!" he exclaimed, still laughing, holding his stomach as he grinned at Kess, who was in the process of dismounting his palomino. "Next time I go for a horse ride, you're coming with me!"
Kess just lifted an eyebrow as he handed his reins over to the stable hand waiting by his side, before starting to walk towards their rooms. Duo followed him happily, bouncing along beside the taller man, gazing around him intently, like a child.
"You really *do* act like a child, Duo," Kess said suddenly, and Duo turned his head to stare up at him curiously. He was staring straight ahead, and as Duo stared up at him in confusion, he noticed a slight flicker to the eyebrow. |Huh...|
Shrugging, Duo turned his head to the other side to look at all the people walking past them. There were so many different races, it was amazing.
Suddenly, he bumped into someone, and as he staggered backwards slightly, the gleeful expression on his face turned into one of rage. Looking up, he glared at the person he'd bumped into. Relatively attractive, he had long blonde hair and piercing ice blue eyes. "Hey, watch where you're walking you asshole," Duo snapped, brushing a bit of dirt off his shirt. Glare turning into an enraged snarl, he realized there was something odd about him.
Something that screamed "Shor-d'na." But the aura Duo saw was a slimy green-brown color, with a tint of red, and his eyes narrowing suspiciously, he carefully maneuvered himself away from the man. He looked about 160 or 170.
And as the man brushed past him, he flinched away from the shoulder that touched his, and turning to glare menacingly at the man's back, he realized Kess was watching him. Turning and grimacing as he rubbed his shoulder, trying to remove the nearly tangible slime that probably wasn't even real from his shoulder, he realized Kess's eyes were narrowed protectively and they had a strange sort of light to them, almost like they were on fire.
"You all right, Duo?" he asked softly.
Duo nodded briefly, wondering why the hell the Masz-d'ra was acting so oddly, before continuing to walk towards the hall with their quarters in it. "That was a Shor-d'na, wasn't it?" he asked suddenly, looking at the gold-eyed man next to him.
Kess nodded curtly, before giving him an odd sideways glance. "How'd you know?" he asked softly.
"Eh?" Duo stared at him, startled. "Oh. He felt kind of like the one in my rooms... Except *way* more slimy..."
Quatre looked up as Duo walked into the library, obviously looking for someone. As his eyes lit up when they fell on him, he realized the other Elf was looking for him. Closing the book he was reading, he glanced at the violet-eyed general in amusement. "So. Where'd you vanish to?" he asked curiously. "Were you with Kess?"
Duo blinked slightly, but nodded. "Yeah."
Quatre's eyes began to twinkle mischievously. "What were you two doing?" he teased.
“Riding." As Quatre blinked, Duo scowled. "Not like that you pervert. We were on horses. And besides, he's not interested in me." Duo shrugged nonchalantly as Quatre stared at him, bewildered.
|Not interested? What the hell does he mean?! Kess is almost always *staring* at him!|
"Why *would* we be doing anything?" Duo continued, oblivious to the look of absolute shock on Quatre's face. He seemed to notice seconds later. "Uh..Quatre? You...all right..?"
The blonde's eyebrows gathered as he stared at Duo. "You really haven't noticed, have you?"
Duo blinked once. And then again. "Eh?"
Quatre just continued to stare at him in amazement. "You never noticed Kess never looks anywhere but you when he's in the same room as you?"
Duo's eyelids slammed up towards his eyebrows. "W-*what*?!"
"Duo. He's obsessed with you."
The brunette swallowed slightly. "Oh." He turned, looking dazed, and walked out of the library unsteadily, leaving Quatre to watch in amusement.
Quatre sighed wistfully as he glanced over at the green-eyed bishounen reading a book across the room. |I wish he'd just feel towards me what Kess feels towards Duo...|
Kess sighed, staring wistfully out the window. He was sitting in the windowsill, leaning back against the side with one leg propped up, bent at the knee, the other one dangling outside of it. His arms were wrapped around the one propped up, and his chin was resting on his knee. Looking down, he estimated he was about two hundred and fifty feet off the ground, but he wasn't afraid of falling.
Gazing down at the ground below him, he saw a familiar figure bouncing through the crowd, smiling and talking to just about any he could. |Duo...Do you have *any* idea how you affect me?| he thought wistfully.
Just then, the braided figure looked up and waved at him. And if he hadn't had such good hearing, he wouldn't have heard the happy cry. "Kess!" came faintly from the ground.
He waved back slightly, more to let Duo know he'd noticed him than as a reply. He saw Duo run into the building, and wondered where he was going absently, before looking up to stare at the buildings in front of him.
Sighing, he closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the edge of the window.
He nearly fell out of the window as a loud voice erupted from the other side of the door. "Kess!" exclaimed Duo's sing-song voice. "I need to taaaalk to yoouuuu!!!"
Blinking slightly, he turned his head to stare at the door. "Come in!" he called, shaking his head slightly. The door swung open and Duo bounced in, a wild grin on his face. Kess just raised an eyebrow, expression impassive as always. "Yes?" he asked coolly.
"I wanted to ask you something," Duo said cheerfully, bouncing over to Kess's bed and flopping down onto it casually.
"Such as...?"
Duo huffed slightly, looking a little put off. Especially when Kess just turned to stare out the window he was sitting in. But his voice didn't reflect it. "Well, I was actually wondering if what Quatre said was true..."
Eyes narrowed, Kess's head snapped around as he glared suspiciously at Duo. "What'd he say?"
Eyes narrowing farther at his general's hesitation, his eyes ran over the lithe, slightly muscular form in front of him, and when they reached his pants, he nearly did a double take. There was a rather *large* bulge in them. Smirking, he eyed it pointedly, before raising a questioning eyebrow.
Duo blinked slightly, looking surprised, before gulping and turning a brilliant shade of crimson that matched the color of Kess's hair perfectly. "Well..," Duo began, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "He said you were obsessed with me, and I kinda wanted to know..."
"If it's the truth?" Kess kept his face as impassive as he could. Then his eyebrow, which had lowered a few seconds before, arched again. Duo swallowed, but nodded.
"And?" Duo asked when he hadn't said anything. "Is it?" He looked hopeful, but there was an underlying sense of nervousness, and he seemed more than a little unsure.
Deciding it was time for Duo to see the impressive bulge in *his* pants, he stood up. Duo stared at him in surprise, blinking slightly. "Well? What do *you* think?" Kess asked, left eyebrow raising higher.
Suddenly Duo, grinning ear-to-ear in that intoxicating way of his, launched himself across the room and into his arms, burying his face in his chest. Kess blinked, taken by surprise, before he wrapped his arms around Duo's lithe form, pulling him closer. He breathed in deeply, inhaling Duo's scent, and as he buried in his face in Duo's silky hair, he felt a wave of contentment wash over him. "What was that all about?" he murmured, amused, pulling the brunette tighter to him.
"Gods..," Duo murmured, voice slightly muffled by his chest. "Do you have any idea how long I've wanted you?"
“Apparently not," Kess replied, smiling despite himself. His smile grew as he felt Duo rub his nose against his chest, and smirking wickedly, he grabbed the man's hips and pulled them towards his, grinding their erections against each other. Duo let out a startled gasp, before rocking his hips wantonly against Kess's, moaning at the pleasure this caused.
Duo was in heaven. |I can't believe he actually feels the same way!| Wantonly, he began to grind his erection into Kess's, and moaning, he threw his head back as sparks of liquid fire raced through his blood. Suddenly, he felt a mouth on his throat, then a tongue and a set of sharp teeth as Kess started sucking on his flesh. Groaning at the sensation, he gripped Kess's hard, muscled biceps to keep a hold on reality.
Dimly, he felt the Masz-d'ra's mouth work its was to his ear, where it stopped, and Duo gasped as Kess began to nibble gently on it, before a moist, hot tongue traced its shape. He gripped Kess's arms harder, melting against the older man. "God..," he gasped. "Don't stop..."
He heard the gold-eyed man chuckle softly, before he began kissing a trail down his jaw. He hesitated briefly above his lips, before Duo's mouth was crushed under his, and moaning, the braided general opened his mouth instantly, surrendering to the assault of tongue and teeth he met.
|My god, he tastes like heaven...| Suddenly, he felt Kess slip his hands into the back of his pants, before cupping his ass and lifting him so their erections were more level. Eventually, Kess broke the kiss, and as Duo gasped for air, he began licking and gently biting a trail to the other side of his throat. Gasping and throwing his head back as Kess started sucking on the flesh behind his ear, he closed his eyes and moaned as heat washed over his body.
Suddenly, he wanted more flesh-on-flesh contact. Impatiently, he began tugging on the tight red tanktop Kess was wearing instead of his uniform, eager to see that golden flesh but too far gone to get it off himself. "Off," he croaked as he began to fumble with the buttons on his own jacket. He watched as Kess pulled the tanktop over his head, and then reached for him, grabbed two fistfuls of his shirt, and pulled, ripping it in his haste to get it off.
Duo gaped at him a moment longer, before shivering slightly and pulling off the shirt he wore under the black jacket.
The instant the shirt was flying through the air, he found himself crushed to Kess and melting further against the other man, gasping as their bare chests met. Kess hands burrowed into his hair, unraveling it from the braid he kept it in.
"Gods," he heard Kess murmur. "You smell so good..."
“Mm," Duo murmured, inhaling deeply. He felt slightly dizzy at the scent the tickled his nostrils. "So do you..."
Kess chuckled softly, before walking towards the bed and gently dropping Duo down onto it.
"Griffin!"
Th e black-haired man looked up, silver eyes questioning as he raised an eyebrow at the gypsy standing in front of him. "Hm?"
"There was a Shor-d'na reported just north of the border into Shirha," the gypsy replied.
Griffin blinked. "Really." His tone was doubtful.
"Yes. I know it sounds weird, but..." The man shrugged. "He was reported entering the city of Hawkspoint on the Laa-ni'r Sea."
“Hawkspoint, eh?" Griffin murmured, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Okay. New orders!" he shouted. "Pack up, and hurry! We'll be moving out on the hour!"
Scratching his wrist as an itch formed, he tapped the tip of his dagger against his chin thoughtfully. "Hm... Shor-d'na, eh?" |How can you kill a Shor-d'na?|
Frowning, he grabbed a book from the pile on his table and flipped through it, to the section where they told about Shor-d'na. Reading through it to find any clue as to how to kill a Shor-d'na, he stumbled across something interesting. "Nanosh!" he shouted. "Get over here!"
The gypsy appeared at his side instantly. "Yes, sir?"
"Read this," he ordered, holding the book out. The man read through it briefly, before looking at him in puzzlement. "What do you make of that?" Griffin asked.
Hans frowned, reading through it again. "I think you need to find a Masz-d'ra, or a Slaznhi Elf, or something like that..," he replied, frown deepening. "I'm not to familiar with reading the language."
Griffin frowned, staring at the book as if it itself would give the answers.
"Huh. Okay. Go get your stuff packed," he ordered, before standing up and grabbing what little belongings he owned and stuffing them into a bag.
As Duo felt his back touch the bed, he felt a tongue suddenly swirl around in the junction of is collar bones. He gasped, his head falling back and to the side. It felt like his nerves were on fire; every inch of flesh on his body was sensitized. And as Kess suddenly sucked his nipple into his mouth, his back arched, his hands clutching at the sheets. "Gods!" he gasped, head thrashing back and forth.
A tongue swirled around his nipple as teeth clamped down gently on it, and dimly, he felt Kess's hands at the ties of his breeches. But they didn't do anything, and Kess's mouth had suddenly left his skin.
"Duo," he murmured. "Do you want this?"
Reaching blindly for something to hold on to, he gripped Kess's shoulders tightly, nodding. "Yes!" he gasped after a moment.
Kess's mouth lowered to his stomach as his nimble fingers made short work of the ties of pants, before he pulled them off, Duo lifting his hips to help. Duo's abs quivered as he felt a tongue slide down them, before dipping into his navel. Duo cried out softly, hands burrowing into the sheets and clenching nearly painfully. |Gods..,| was his only coherent thought. Wufei had never done this to him.
Duo's voice went singing through the air as Kess licked a slow line on the underside of his quivering cock. And his hands instantly left the sheets, burrowing into Kess's surprisingly silky hair as the Masz-d'ra's tongue swirled
around the head, lapping at the precum there, and then trying to dig into the slit. Crying out again, his hips bucked up, his head arching backwards. "Aaaaahhh...."
Duo let out a shout of pleasure as Kess suddenly deep-throated him, back arching almost painfully, his hands clenching in Kess's hair. Duo's shout became a constant scream as Kess began humming, the vibrations threatening to drive him wild with pleasure. "Gods, Kess," he gasped. There was a low chuckle, before Kess started humming again, and both vibrations threatened to bring him off right there as Kess dragged his teeth up to the head, swirled his tongue around in the slit, and plunged back down hard, humming like crazy.
But it wasn't the liquid sensations that finally pushed him over the edge into a world of white as he came hard; it was the fact that it was Kess doing this to him. Screaming, his hips bucked like crazy and his whole body convulsed as he orgasmed so hard he passed out for a moment.
When he came to a few moments later, he opened his eyes to see Kess licking his lips. Swallowing, he slowly untangled his hands from Kess's hair, and the gold-eyed soldier looked up.
He looked amused, but startled at the same time. "You passed out," he murmured, a slight quirk to his lips.
Duo rolled his eyes, before grabbing Kess's shoulders and pulling him so that he was leaning over him. "That was amazing," Duo murmured, gazing up into Kess's eyes and drowning in gold. "It never felt like that with Wufei..."
One of Kess's elegantly arched eyebrows lifted. "Is that good or bad?"
Sliding his arms around Kess's neck, he smiled up at the older man. "Good." As he let his eyes travel over Kess's muscular frame, a shiver ran through his as he realized what the chiseled body could easily do to him, yet wasn't. "*Very* good."
He jumped as he felt a lube-slick finger slide into him, before melting back into the bed and moaning softly. He felt Kess move between his legs, and spread them wider in invitation as the finger slowly slid deeper. Once the finger was in as deep as it would go, it stayed there for a minute, until Duo was whimpering and shoving himself back in an effort to get it in deeper. Then it began to slowly thrust in and out until Duo was going crazy with need, whimpering and thrusting back against it.
Kess chose that moment to slip a second finger in, and he slowly sank that one in, waiting until Duo was thrusting back on the two combined, before thrusting them in and out. Duo's back was arching madly, sheets beginning to tear in his grip. Spreading his legs wider, Duo was nearly sobbing with need.
Finally, a third finger found its way inside of him, and seconds after it was fully seated, Duo was thrusting back to get them deeper. The three fingers began moving in and out slowly, and as Duo slowly went mad, another finger slipped inside. Duo's eyes widened comically as the sensation of four fingers inside him threatened to drive him insane. |How big *is* he?| he managed to think, before his brain overloaded as Kess's fingers began thrusting again, and with deadly accuracy, found his pleasure center. As Duo screamed, his back arching, those fingers began stimulating it ruthlessly.
And suddenly, they stopped. And pulled out. Opening his eyes to glare at Kess, he gulped. Hard. Kess had taken off his breeches and was currently lubing his cock. And it was *huge*. Around four inches thick. Probably a foot long, too.[7] |Oh shit... No *wonder* he used four fingers!|
But then Kess was draping his legs over the powerful shoulders, and Duo felt his shaft press lightly against his opening. And Duo suddenly had no doubts that this was going to feel good, but he was going to hurt like hell in the morning. And that was his last coherent thought as Kess pushed slightly and just the head slid in. Air hissed through Duo's clenched teeth, but he noticed with relief that Kess had stopped to let him adjust. It *did* hurt, even as well as Kess had prepared him, but not as much as it could have. And in a few moments, he'd adjusted to
it, and Kess was pushing deeper.
Duo's head fell back and his back arched, a loud moan slipping off his lips. It felt *good...* Eyes closed, he was panting as Kess slowly filled him. As soon as Kess was fully seated, he paused, letting Duo adjust. It still hurt a bit, but as his muscles slowly relaxed the pain disappeared. Wanting more, he shoved his hips back against Kess.
He whined in disappointment as Kess slowly pulled out, but his whine turned into a moan as Kess slowly pushed back in. Hands gripping Kess's powerful biceps, he slowly lost his mind as Kess set the pace, pulling out slowly, and then filling him with long, powerful strokes that sent him spiraling into heaven. And he didn't seem set on going any faster.
But with each impact, Duo cried out as Kess hit his prostate. And his cries turned to screams as Kess suddenly began slamming mercilessly, nearly brutally, into him, each thrust causing his engorged cock to slam hard against his pleasure center.
And as Kess suddenly reached between them and wrapped his long fingers around *his* erection, he screamed the Masz-d'ra's name at the top of his lungs and came harder than he ever had, shuddering and convulsing almost violently as he sobbed in his release.
He heard Kess cry out softly, before he felt the other soldier's own release splatter his insides. And then Kess had collapsed on top of him, still inside, and Duo wrapped his arms around the other man tightly, before pulling the covers over them.
“I just don't get it!"
Wufei looked up at Quatre, eyebrow lifted. "Don't get what?"
"How Duo can just win anyone over!" the blonde replied, sounding exasperated.
Blinking, Wufei stared at Quatre in confusion. "Uh... What?"
The blonde sighed, and then scowled, glaring at him. "First he's got you fucking him, and now he's got Kess!"
Insulted, Wufei's eyes narrowed dangerously. "I do it because he..." Frowning, he tried to find a way to explain why he would do it. "Well, he... Gah, I don't know how to say it! I guess I'll just say because he needs a fuck and no one else will do it."
The Elf rolled his eyes. "Apparently someone else will."
Wufei cocked his head to the right. "So. How'd you know they were at it?"
Scowling, Quatre pointed at his chest. "Empathy. Damn it to hell."
Wufei blinked. "Uh...Right. They're Soul-Mates, though. What do you expect?"
Quatre stared at him, startled into silence. After a minute, he began spluttering. "*What?!* What do you *mean* they're...'Soul-Mates?'" he demanded. "What *is* a Soul-Mate, and *how* did you know?"
Sighing, Wufei shook his head. "Soul-Mates are two people who are bound together spiritually for eternity. They love each other because they can't help it, and I knew it because it's a special ability La-an have."
Blinking, Quatre shook his head. "How can you tell?"
Frowning thoughtfully, he tried to put it into words. "Well... If I Look, I can See their spirits, and there's a sort of glowing string attaching the two, or something like that... I guess that's how I can explain it... But..." His frown
deepened as he Looked with that extra "eye" and saw another string of light attached to the two. "There's another string like thing... And I can't figure out why."
Quatre snorted. "I betcha I could tell you," he replied. "They're both Soul-Mates with someone else, too."
Blinking, his eyebrows rose, and frowning thoughtfully, he nodded, deciding that made sense. "Hm... I wonder why I didn't figure that out before..." Then frowning, he stared at Quatre. Hard. "But why are you so upset about this ability of Duo's to 'win anyone over,' as you put it?"
Quatre started. "Uh..!"
Wufei snorted. "And don't think I don't know about your fascination with Trowa," he muttered before Quatre could say anything.
Quatre stared at him for a moment longer, and stammered something, before turning bright red and fleeing out the door. Sighing, Wufei shook his head. Then he looked up as the curtains on another side of the room moved and Trowa emerged. He looked slightly surprised.
"Well, I hope you got what you wanted," Wufei muttered, before turning and walking away.
Later that day, a pair of sleepy gold eyes opened tentatively. |Why do I feel so warm?| Kess wondered, before looking down. Blinking, he shook his head to try to dispel the image he was obviously imagining. Only to find Duo still curled up in his arms, face buried in his chest. Frowning, He slowly unwrapped one arm from around the Elf and pinched himself. It hurt. |So it wasn't a dream...| With that, he wrapped his arm around Duo and pulled the younger man closer to him, burying his nose in the hair.
Inhaling deeply, he smiled as Duo's intoxicating scent drifted through his nostrils. |Mm...| Looking down at a slight movement, he found the man's eyes still closed and his breathing steady, but he knew he was awake. Smirking, he suddenly reached down and grabbed Duo's cock, pumping it quickly.
Smirking as Duo gripped his biceps, he pumped roughly, dipping his head to suckle on the man's right ear. Smirk widening as the Elf moaned loudly and bucked his hips, he suddenly let go.
"Kess!" the man whined. "What'd you do that for?" Then Duo blanched. "Damn. You knew I was awake, didn't you?"
Left brow raising, Kess just gazed at him.
Sighing, Duo shook his head. "I'll take that as a yes."
At Kess's nod, he looked away nervously. Curious at his nervousness, Kess tilted his head.
"Kess?" the brunette asked softly.
"Hn?"
"Can... I'd...like to try something," the other man said softly, sounding hesitant.
Kess's eyebrows shot up towards his hairline. What could he want to try that was making him so nervous? "I'm listening..."
Duo nibbled on his lower lip for a moment, before turning his head and meeting his eyes hesitantly. "Could...Could I take you?"
Kess blinked, taken by surprise. |Him...take me?| "I..." He hesitated. "I guess so..."
Duo looked slightly disappointed at his lack of eagerness. "You don't have to let me..," he began.
But before he could finish, Kess scowled at him. "Yes, Duo you can," he replied emphatically. Swallowing slightly, he took a deep breath and drew the man on top of him as he slowly let it out. "If that's what you want."
Duo stared at him for a second, before nodding. "It is," he replied, and then he was attacking his throat, licking and sucking softly, nipping slightly on occasion. Kess sighed, head falling back as the sensations washed over him. It
felt surprisingly good.
He felt Duo's tongue work its way down the left side of his throat and along his left shoulder, before stopping as it hit a scar.
Kess tensed, ready for Duo to reject him at the sight. And blinked. Duo was slowly licking the length of the scar, and then his mouth was kissing its way down his collar bone. Sidetracking, he worked his way to Kess's left nipple,
tongue darting out to flicker against the tip.
Gasping at the sensation, Kess's back arched into the touch, hands clutching the sheets and head falling back farther. "God..," he gasped, eyes fluttering closed.
He heard Duo chuckle, before his nipple was being rolled between Duo's teeth. Gasping harshly, Kess's breaths came in pants as sensation after sensation coursed through him. Then his mouth was gone, working its way down his six-pack, tongue swirling around and tracing the shape of each individual muscle. Mindlessly, Kess arched his back, a soft cry spilling from his lips.
And his cry grew in volume as Duo suddenly took him into his mouth, deep-throating him easily. He hadn't known it felt this good! And it was because of Duo's mouth that he barely noticed as the man slid a lubed finger slowly into him. The finger stilled for a moment to let him adjust, before slowly pulling out and thrusting back in. As the motion caused new sensations to race through him, his back arched further and he cried out loudly. It felt so *good...!* After a few moments, his hips began rocking back against the finger, trying to get it deeper, and he felt a second finger ease inside as Duo's mouth lifted from his engorged erection. The fingers stilled, and as his muscles loosened a bit, they began thrusting in and out.
Again, Kess gasped at the sensation, back arching and driving himself farther onto the fingers.
"Gods," he gasped. "More..."
He heard Duo chuckle, and then another finger slowly eased its way inside of his body. Kess hissed as the third finger caused a mild jab of pain to slice through him. And then his body relaxed around Duo's long fingers, and the other man began pumping them in and out. And then he jabbed them against something inside his body that made him arch and scream in pleasure. "More!" he gasped harshly, wanting more of that exquisite feeling.
But instead of complying, Duo pulled his fingers out. Opening his eyes to glare at the braided Elf, he swallowed as he saw Duo spreading some lubricant on his erection. The man wasn't exactly average. But then he discovered that didn't matter as Duo positioned himself at his entrance, bracing himself on his arms over him. Duo frowned down at him slightly. "Are you sure?" he asked, worried.
Kess nodded sharply, breath skidding to a stop in his throat as Duo nodded and began to push into him. Eyes squeezing shut, hands clutching the sheets, Kess felt himself filled completely as Duo stopped moving, buried as far as he could go. Biting his lip, he gazed with no little awe up at the man above him, who was obviously having trouble controlling himself.
The man Kess had chosen to give his virginity to.
"Have you ever done this before?" he gasped, wanting for some odd reason to know. As Duo shook his head "no," Kess felt himself relax completely.
Wanting the Elf to move, he bucked his hips up. That was all it took. Duo began pounding into him immediately, each thrust rocking his body and making his eyes roll up further into his head.
"Gods..," he sobbed, hands unconsciously rising to grip at Duo's shoulders as his legs clamped around his waist. Back arching continuously, Kess not so quietly lost his mind to sensation. "Harder!" he gasped, too far-gone to be amazed at the sensations Duo was causing or to realize how much noise he was making.
He found himself rocking back to meet every thrust, Duo's length inside him lighting fires and feeding them continuously. "More! Harder! Aah...! Gods... Faster!" he groaned, head thrashing back and forth as Duo's body pounded ruthlessly into his. Duo's hips began angling, and suddenly Kess screamed louder than before as Duo's arousal brutally slammed into something deep inside him that sent his mind in a down-spiraling course away from sanity.
The bed was rocking with every thrust now, making sounds of protest, but neither man was aware enough to hear it. With every thrust, Kess's body was rocked, and his screams were no longer intelligible. And then his ecstasy doubled suddenly as Duo took his arousal in his hand. Kess screamed hoarsely, and as his release came crashing down on him, his back arched impossibly, hands gripping Duo's shoulder harder than ever, and Duo's name spilled from his lips in an ear shattering scream.
Dimly, as his world exploded, he felt Duo thrust once more, before a splash of liquid on his insides. Slowly, he came down from his spot up high and realized Duo had collapsed on top of him. Slowly wrapping his arms around the exhausted general, he tried to catch his breath.
"Are you *sure* you've never done that before?" he gasped breathlessly. "You were *quite* good."
Duo chuckled softly, sounding absolutely exhausted. "Absolutely sure," he gasped, pulling himself farther up Kess's chest. "Were you a virgin?"
"Yeah," Kess replied softly, staring up at the ceiling. "I was."
He looked back at Duo to find the man watching him closely. "So why'd you decided to give it to me?" Duo asked, resting his head on Kess's broad chest.
Kess shrugged. "I don't know. It felt right, I guess," he replied. "I'm glad I did though... I *really* don't think I'm going to forget that."
Duo smiled, eyes softening and glowing in the red light of the evening sun. "Neither will I."
|Wait a minute! Evening sun?!| Blinking, Kess swiveled his head on his neck as far as he could, scowling as he saw the sun kissing the horizon[8]. "We have to get going," he sighed regretfully, not wanting to get up.
Duo scowled. "Damn." Then as he pulled himself onto his hands and knees above Kess, he winced. "It's gonna be hard to walk, though..."
Frowning, he felt suddenly guilty. "Sorry..," he replied, frown deepening as Duo hissed in pain. Slowly, he forced himself to sit up, biting his lip as a slight pain suddenly lanced through him from his bowels.
"Oo... Ow."
Duo looked up, a worried expression on his face. Guilt mingled with it. "Sorry..."
Shaking his head, Kess forced himself to stand, gritting his teeth against the sharp pain the movement produced. "Not your fault," he rasped through his clenched teeth. Turning slightly and not resisting a wince, he grabbed Duo's
clothes and threw them at him, before grabbing his own and pulling them on. As he finished tying the strings holding his gold breeches closed, he turned to find Duo dressed except for a jacket. And the one he had with him was being eyed with dismay. It was ripped beyond repair. "Oops... Sorry," Kess said, wincing slightly.
Gingerly sitting down, he began to pull his red leather boots on, quickly tying the laces, before standing up and running a hand through his hair.
Duo winced as he walked out of the room, right next to Kess. He was having trouble walking, but he noted with slightly guilty satisfaction that Kess was having trouble, too. Both of them wincing the whole way, they slowly walked into the huge dining room they would be eating in.
Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre all looked up, faces showing various degrees of amusement at their inability to walk correctly.
"What happened to *you* two?" Quatre asked a few minutes into eating their dinner, amused.
Looking up, Kess fixed him with a cold glare. "If you really must know, we were both on the receiving end," he replied passively, ignoring the three chokes the statement caused.
"Yeah," Duo agreed around a mouthful of food. Then he fixed Kess with a slightly amused, slightly surprised look. "You were pretty loud on the receiving end," he observed.
Blinking, Kess stared at him. |What? What does he mean-?! Oh.| Blinking, he stared at Duo in surprise, realizing he *had* indeed been rather loud. "Huh," he said after a moment of silence. "Go figure."

Chapter Two
Heero watched the three go, wondering what the hell they meant, before he met Duo's eyes boldly. He was completely unfazed by the look in those eyes. At least externally. Something about the gleam in them was making him nervous.
"So," Duo spoke up suddenly. "You like males in bed?"
Heero's eyebrows shot up towards his hairline, and he narrowed his eyes suspiciously as he tried to figure out what was going on. Why had Quatre whispered something in Duo's ear? *What* had he whispered? Then it hit him. The
blonde was an Empath. "The blonde's an Empath, isn't he?" he asked in monotone.
Duo seemed to frown slightly at his tone. "First of all, his name is Quatre. But yes, he *is* an Empath." The gorgeous head tilted slightly to the right. "Why? And you didn't answer my question you know."
Frowning slightly, he let his eyes run over Duo as he tried to grasp something from the posture of the man in front of him. The pose he was in was slightly... Seductive. |*SEDUCTIVE?!* Well... Two can play at this game!| "What do you think?" was his reply. Keeping his voice toneless was tough, but Duo would have no trouble reading his emotions through the gleam in *his* eyes.
Duo blinked slightly. Then his smirk grew. "I think you do," he replied, but his voice was slightly huskier than normal.
“Well then," he said softly. "You'd be right." Then he whirled, jumped through the window, and pulled a trick that would make it look as if he'd simply disappeared.
Duo stared, gaping, at the now-open window Heero had just fled through. There was a timid knock on the door, but Duo barely registered it. He was still too shocked by the man's sudden...disappearance. The door opened slightly, and as he continued to gape at the window, he realized that Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei were watching him, confusion written all over their faces.
“Uh...Duo?" Wufei was the first to speak up. "Where'd he go?"
Shaking his head sharply, he shrugged, completely baffled. "I don't know. One minute, he's standing in front of me, the next he's jumped out the window and somehow vanished!" he replied, still blinking slightly in amazement.
He was startled out of his stupor by a cold voice from outside his doorway. "Duo, I *demand* to know why the hell I there was a Shor-d'na in your room."
Grinning, he swung the door open. "Kess[1]! My man!" The Masz-d'ra just raised an impassive eyebrow. Scowling at him, Duo turned and threw his hands up in disgust. "I give up!"
Half-turning to frown comically at the man in front of him, he glared, to see an eyebrow lift in slight amusement. He gaped at the Masz-d'ra in amazement. Kess had never shown that much emotion before! Feeling slightly faint, he managed to get to his bed before his knees gave out, still gaping at the gold-eyed man in front of him.
Quatre, Wufei, and Trowa were staring at him oddly. Kess was just looking more amused by the second. Shaking his head in amazement, he stood up and walked towards the door, glaring at Kess until the man moved. "I need food," Duo snapped emotionlessly. "Come on."
Kess watched with slightly narrowed eyes as Duo walked past him. |What's with him?| he thought, confused. Shrugging mentally, he turned and followed him, motioning for the other three to follow. Frowning, he puzzled over why Duo wasn't dead. There *had* been a Shor-d'na in his rooms...
:Duo?: he mentally asked softly.
Duo seemed slightly startled at his starting a conversation. But he recovered fast. :Yes?: was the weary reply.
Frowning, Kess stretched his legs a bit to catch up to his General. Though he would never admit it, he was worried. :You're not chattering,: he replied dryly.
:Heh. So I'm not. What of it?:
Kess scowled as he glared down at the shorter man. :Something's wrong, and I want to know what,: he snapped.
The braided boy sighed and glared up at him a little less vehemently. :That Shor-d'na is the problem,: Duo replied softly. :He's absolutely gorgeous.:
Kess's eyebrows flew to his hairline. So *that* was what was bothering the other man. :Ah.: Then, puzzled, he stared down at Duo curiously. :Why is that bothering you?: he asked curiously, shoving down the stab of jealousy he felt.
:Because my orders are to bring him back to Treize dead,: Duo snapped irritably, yet there was an underlying current of sadness to his voice.
:No they weren't,: Kess replied, startled. :They were to bring him back for questioning. And it's extremely difficult to question someone if they're not longer among the living.:
He noticed the brunette blink slightly, before a little of his normal energetic bounce appeared in his step.
"You know," Kess said matter-of-factly, "it's extremely hard to believe that you are a general. And I am *not* calling you that, I'm just naming your status," he added before Duo could get all worked up.
"Oh?" The mischievous glint was back in Duo's eyes. "And why is that?"
"Because you don't *walk,*" he replied, "you *bounce.* And you're always grinning, you never shut up, and you roll around on the floor with children and dogs." He nodded firmly.
Turning slightly, he was greeted to the sight of Quatre, Wufei, and even Trowa gaping at him in surprise. "What?" he demanded. "Who says I can only say ten words a day?"
They all shook their heads in unison and started forward as they managed to close their mouths, and stifling a chuckle, Kess followed their example, nudging Duo slightly, who was turning red with suppressed laughter at the expressions on the other three's faces.
Scowling slightly, Kess wacked him upside the head, and he stopped trying not to laugh abruptly. The beautiful Elven features returned to their normal color, and Kess nodded in satisfaction. Turning away from the grimacing features of his general, he fixed his eyes in front of him. |God, he's gorgeous... I envy Wufei.|[2]
:*Why* do you envy me?:
He would have jumped if hadn't been trained in controlling his reactions to sudden actions, words... As it was he blinked in surprise. :Heh?: he asked, mental voice tinged with confusion.
:You were just thinking that you envied me,: came the irritated response.
Kess resisted the urge to turn around and glower at the La-an. Barely. :And just who gave you permission to go snooping around in my head?: he demanded.
:Eh-heh-!:
He snorted mentally. :Well, if you really want to know, it's because Duo is absolutely gorgeous.:
He could practically hear Wufei blink. :Eh?:
:Don't think I don't know what you two do at night,: Kess snapped, rapidly loosing his patience.
:Oh...: Wufei seemed surprised. :Well... We don't do it every night...:
:I'm well aware of that,: Kess drawled in response. :You get it now?:
:Yeah, I think so... I'm just...surprised.:
:What? That I'm gay?: Kess snapped. :Or that I wish it was me instead of you?:
:Uh...Both, actually..,: Wufei replied hesitantly. :If you want, I'll *let* it be you instead of me, next time...:
Narrowing his eyes, he looked over his shoulder at Wufei, who was watching him slightly nervously as he nibbled slightly on his lower lip. :Are you serious?:
:Yes,: was the immediate reply.
Nodding his head sharply, turning his head to find Duo watching curiously, his head tilted slightly to the side. His eyes flickered to Wufei for a moment, before returning to him in inquiry. :It was nothing.:
Duo frowned slightly, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. |What the hell does he *mean* it was nothing?! It was *definitely* something!|
:Maxwell?: Duo blinked, startled, as he heard Wufei's voice in his head. :Eh?:
:What do you think of Kess?: Wufei sounded almost...hesitant?!
:Heh?: Confused, he turned to stare at Wufei, walking into Kess as they turned a corner and he kept walking straight. "Sorry," he apologized, before scowling slightly at Wufei. :Why?:
:Just curious.: Wufei paused for a second. :So? Your answer?:
:Well.. He's...quiet. And barely shows any emotion, and he's a major jerk at times...: He hesitated slightly, before firming his resolve. :And he's absolutely gorgeous.:
:Aa... You know, Maxwell?: Wufei said conversationally. :I'm starting to wonder if you have a fetish for males with wild hair that falls all over the place.:
Duo *did* give in to a childish urge. Turning, he screwed up his face and stuck his tongue out at the Wufei, before huffing proudly and lifting his chin. He could hear Wufei choke, and Quatre laughed softly. Trowa as usual was silent as a rock. Looking at Kess from the corner of his eye, he fought not to gape. The man had a small smile playing on his lips. |Whoa... This is getting creepy...|
|Wait a minute! I didn't change my clothes![3]| With that sudden realization, Duo came to an abrupt stop, causing Trowa and Quatre to walk right into him.
"What is it?" Quatre asked, puzzled.
Scowling at his lapse of sense, Duo indicated his clothes. "I seem to have forgotten what I was wearing last night," he explained softly.
Kess, who was now several feet in front of him, turned and cocked his head to the right. "What'd you stop for?"
Grimacing, he pointed at his pants. Kess blinked slightly, seeming to take them for the first time. "Aa."
“Normal talkative self, I see," Duo grumbled, before turning and stalking back to his rooms to make himself decent.
An hour later, Duo walked out of the huge room where they'd be eating all their meals for their time staying here, stuffed to the brim and aching for a horse ride. "Where are the stables?" he muttered to himself, looking around.
Kess looked at him oddly. "I'll show you," he offered.
Duo blinked at him, startled, but nodded. "All right..."
He watched as Kess walked in front of him, trying not to drool over the gorgeous ass all but poured into the skin-tight red leather breeches that was part of their uniform. A pair of loose, gold-colored boots reached half-way up his chiseled calves, and a dark, dark red jacket with intricate gold embroidery was draped over the broad, muscular shoulders. And underneath that was a skin tight shirt that matched his gold eyes perfectly, with a red design covering the front.[4] He barely repressed the urge to shiver.
And as Duo walked down the hall behind him, dressed in the exact same uniform except in black and silver[5], he licked his lips slightly, watching the sleekly muscled thighs move. He shook himself, realizing he was getting hard and it would be extremely visible in these tight breeches. |Dammit Duo, stop day dreaming. He's not interested, so stop torturing yourself!|
“Duo!"
He blinked, to find Kess glaring at him, looking pretty peeved.
"Y-yeah?"
Kess's eyes narrowed briefly, before the scowl faded into that impassive mask Duo was so used to. "We're at the stables."
"Oh... Heh! Right," he stammered slightly, wondering why the hell he was stammering, as he looked around. He forced a grin across his features, and turned to look around for his horse, Shinigami. Grin turning genuine as he spotted the blue-black mare, he bounced over to her, and his grin softened into a warm smile as he gazed deep into her silver eyes. "Hey girl," he murmured, running his hand absently through her blue-black mane.
She whinnied, and laughing, he grabbed her tack and put it on her, and turned, reins in hand, to find Kess watching him.
"What?" he asked, puzzled.
"You mind if I ride with you?" he asked, face and voice impassive.
|Mind?! Why the hell would I mind?| He shrugged carelessly. "Go ahead," he said instead, grinning as he led Shinigami out of her stall and out into the street, before turning and waiting for Kess.
A few minutes later, Kess walked out, leading his tall stallion Surtr[6]. The palomino was an odd stallion however; he had gold eyes to match his riders and his mane and tail were blood red. Grinning at Kess, Duo swung up into Shinigami's saddle gracefully, and as soon as Kess had mounted, set an easy walk through the crowded streets.
Duo took in the sights eagerly, looking this way and that. People bustled all around, but as soon as they saw them, they moved out of the way respectfully, nodding at each of them. Duo waved to all of them, grinning wildly as Shinigami pranced elegantly through the streets.
But as soon as they were out of the city boundaries, Duo let out a loud whoop and urged Shinigami into a gallop.
Laughing, he turned in his saddle to see Kess on Surtr right behind him. He waved at him, before turning and leaning forward so he'd be blocking less wind. Next second he knew, Kess was right beside him, leaning over Surtr's gracefully arched neck, and staring straight ahead, a determined look on his face.
Neither saw the Prussian eyes narrow slightly in the shadows, or the silhouetted form slip into another shadow.
Up in one of the tallest towers in the fortress, however, Wufei stood and scowled out the window as he watched the shadow follow the two.
Laughing continuously, Duo dismounted Shinigami and handed the reins over to one of the stable hands. "That was fun!" he exclaimed, still laughing, holding his stomach as he grinned at Kess, who was in the process of dismounting his palomino. "Next time I go for a horse ride, you're coming with me!"
Kess just lifted an eyebrow as he handed his reins over to the stable hand waiting by his side, before starting to walk towards their rooms. Duo followed him happily, bouncing along beside the taller man, gazing around him intently, like a child.
"You really *do* act like a child, Duo," Kess said suddenly, and Duo turned his head to stare up at him curiously. He was staring straight ahead, and as Duo stared up at him in confusion, he noticed a slight flicker to the eyebrow. |Huh...|
Shrugging, Duo turned his head to the other side to look at all the people walking past them. There were so many different races, it was amazing.
Suddenly, he bumped into someone, and as he staggered backwards slightly, the gleeful expression on his face turned into one of rage. Looking up, he glared at the person he'd bumped into. Relatively attractive, he had long blonde hair and piercing ice blue eyes. "Hey, watch where you're walking you asshole," Duo snapped, brushing a bit of dirt off his shirt. Glare turning into an enraged snarl, he realized there was something odd about him.
Something that screamed "Shor-d'na." But the aura Duo saw was a slimy green-brown color, with a tint of red, and his eyes narrowing suspiciously, he carefully maneuvered himself away from the man. He looked about 160 or 170.
And as the man brushed past him, he flinched away from the shoulder that touched his, and turning to glare menacingly at the man's back, he realized Kess was watching him. Turning and grimacing as he rubbed his shoulder, trying to remove the nearly tangible slime that probably wasn't even real from his shoulder, he realized Kess's eyes were narrowed protectively and they had a strange sort of light to them, almost like they were on fire.
"You all right, Duo?" he asked softly.
Duo nodded briefly, wondering why the hell the Masz-d'ra was acting so oddly, before continuing to walk towards the hall with their quarters in it. "That was a Shor-d'na, wasn't it?" he asked suddenly, looking at the gold-eyed man next to him.
Kess nodded curtly, before giving him an odd sideways glance. "How'd you know?" he asked softly.
"Eh?" Duo stared at him, startled. "Oh. He felt kind of like the one in my rooms... Except *way* more slimy..."
Quatre looked up as Duo walked into the library, obviously looking for someone. As his eyes lit up when they fell on him, he realized the other Elf was looking for him. Closing the book he was reading, he glanced at the violet-eyed general in amusement. "So. Where'd you vanish to?" he asked curiously. "Were you with Kess?"
Duo blinked slightly, but nodded. "Yeah."
Quatre's eyes began to twinkle mischievously. "What were you two doing?" he teased.
“Riding." As Quatre blinked, Duo scowled. "Not like that you pervert. We were on horses. And besides, he's not interested in me." Duo shrugged nonchalantly as Quatre stared at him, bewildered.
|Not interested? What the hell does he mean?! Kess is almost always *staring* at him!|
"Why *would* we be doing anything?" Duo continued, oblivious to the look of absolute shock on Quatre's face. He seemed to notice seconds later. "Uh..Quatre? You...all right..?"
The blonde's eyebrows gathered as he stared at Duo. "You really haven't noticed, have you?"
Duo blinked once. And then again. "Eh?"
Quatre just continued to stare at him in amazement. "You never noticed Kess never looks anywhere but you when he's in the same room as you?"
Duo's eyelids slammed up towards his eyebrows. "W-*what*?!"
"Duo. He's obsessed with you."
The brunette swallowed slightly. "Oh." He turned, looking dazed, and walked out of the library unsteadily, leaving Quatre to watch in amusement.
Quatre sighed wistfully as he glanced over at the green-eyed bishounen reading a book across the room. |I wish he'd just feel towards me what Kess feels towards Duo...|
Kess sighed, staring wistfully out the window. He was sitting in the windowsill, leaning back against the side with one leg propped up, bent at the knee, the other one dangling outside of it. His arms were wrapped around the one propped up, and his chin was resting on his knee. Looking down, he estimated he was about two hundred and fifty feet off the ground, but he wasn't afraid of falling.
Gazing down at the ground below him, he saw a familiar figure bouncing through the crowd, smiling and talking to just about any he could. |Duo...Do you have *any* idea how you affect me?| he thought wistfully.
Just then, the braided figure looked up and waved at him. And if he hadn't had such good hearing, he wouldn't have heard the happy cry. "Kess!" came faintly from the ground.
He waved back slightly, more to let Duo know he'd noticed him than as a reply. He saw Duo run into the building, and wondered where he was going absently, before looking up to stare at the buildings in front of him.
Sighing, he closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the edge of the window.
He nearly fell out of the window as a loud voice erupted from the other side of the door. "Kess!" exclaimed Duo's sing-song voice. "I need to taaaalk to yoouuuu!!!"
Blinking slightly, he turned his head to stare at the door. "Come in!" he called, shaking his head slightly. The door swung open and Duo bounced in, a wild grin on his face. Kess just raised an eyebrow, expression impassive as always. "Yes?" he asked coolly.
"I wanted to ask you something," Duo said cheerfully, bouncing over to Kess's bed and flopping down onto it casually.
"Such as...?"
Duo huffed slightly, looking a little put off. Especially when Kess just turned to stare out the window he was sitting in. But his voice didn't reflect it. "Well, I was actually wondering if what Quatre said was true..."
Eyes narrowed, Kess's head snapped around as he glared suspiciously at Duo. "What'd he say?"
Eyes narrowing farther at his general's hesitation, his eyes ran over the lithe, slightly muscular form in front of him, and when they reached his pants, he nearly did a double take. There was a rather *large* bulge in them. Smirking, he eyed it pointedly, before raising a questioning eyebrow.
Duo blinked slightly, looking surprised, before gulping and turning a brilliant shade of crimson that matched the color of Kess's hair perfectly. "Well..," Duo began, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "He said you were obsessed with me, and I kinda wanted to know..."
"If it's the truth?" Kess kept his face as impassive as he could. Then his eyebrow, which had lowered a few seconds before, arched again. Duo swallowed, but nodded.
"And?" Duo asked when he hadn't said anything. "Is it?" He looked hopeful, but there was an underlying sense of nervousness, and he seemed more than a little unsure.
Deciding it was time for Duo to see the impressive bulge in *his* pants, he stood up. Duo stared at him in surprise, blinking slightly. "Well? What do *you* think?" Kess asked, left eyebrow raising higher.
Suddenly Duo, grinning ear-to-ear in that intoxicating way of his, launched himself across the room and into his arms, burying his face in his chest. Kess blinked, taken by surprise, before he wrapped his arms around Duo's lithe form, pulling him closer. He breathed in deeply, inhaling Duo's scent, and as he buried in his face in Duo's silky hair, he felt a wave of contentment wash over him. "What was that all about?" he murmured, amused, pulling the brunette tighter to him.
"Gods..," Duo murmured, voice slightly muffled by his chest. "Do you have any idea how long I've wanted you?"
“Apparently not," Kess replied, smiling despite himself. His smile grew as he felt Duo rub his nose against his chest, and smirking wickedly, he grabbed the man's hips and pulled them towards his, grinding their erections against each other. Duo let out a startled gasp, before rocking his hips wantonly against Kess's, moaning at the pleasure this caused.
Duo was in heaven. |I can't believe he actually feels the same way!| Wantonly, he began to grind his erection into Kess's, and moaning, he threw his head back as sparks of liquid fire raced through his blood. Suddenly, he felt a mouth on his throat, then a tongue and a set of sharp teeth as Kess started sucking on his flesh. Groaning at the sensation, he gripped Kess's hard, muscled biceps to keep a hold on reality.
Dimly, he felt the Masz-d'ra's mouth work its was to his ear, where it stopped, and Duo gasped as Kess began to nibble gently on it, before a moist, hot tongue traced its shape. He gripped Kess's arms harder, melting against the older man. "God..," he gasped. "Don't stop..."
He heard the gold-eyed man chuckle softly, before he began kissing a trail down his jaw. He hesitated briefly above his lips, before Duo's mouth was crushed under his, and moaning, the braided general opened his mouth instantly, surrendering to the assault of tongue and teeth he met.
|My god, he tastes like heaven...| Suddenly, he felt Kess slip his hands into the back of his pants, before cupping his ass and lifting him so their erections were more level. Eventually, Kess broke the kiss, and as Duo gasped for air, he began licking and gently biting a trail to the other side of his throat. Gasping and throwing his head back as Kess started sucking on the flesh behind his ear, he closed his eyes and moaned as heat washed over his body.
Suddenly, he wanted more flesh-on-flesh contact. Impatiently, he began tugging on the tight red tanktop Kess was wearing instead of his uniform, eager to see that golden flesh but too far gone to get it off himself. "Off," he croaked as he began to fumble with the buttons on his own jacket. He watched as Kess pulled the tanktop over his head, and then reached for him, grabbed two fistfuls of his shirt, and pulled, ripping it in his haste to get it off.
Duo gaped at him a moment longer, before shivering slightly and pulling off the shirt he wore under the black jacket.
The instant the shirt was flying through the air, he found himself crushed to Kess and melting further against the other man, gasping as their bare chests met. Kess hands burrowed into his hair, unraveling it from the braid he kept it in.
"Gods," he heard Kess murmur. "You smell so good..."
“Mm," Duo murmured, inhaling deeply. He felt slightly dizzy at the scent the tickled his nostrils. "So do you..."
Kess chuckled softly, before walking towards the bed and gently dropping Duo down onto it.
"Griffin!"
Th e black-haired man looked up, silver eyes questioning as he raised an eyebrow at the gypsy standing in front of him. "Hm?"
"There was a Shor-d'na reported just north of the border into Shirha," the gypsy replied.
Griffin blinked. "Really." His tone was doubtful.
"Yes. I know it sounds weird, but..." The man shrugged. "He was reported entering the city of Hawkspoint on the Laa-ni'r Sea."
“Hawkspoint, eh?" Griffin murmured, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Okay. New orders!" he shouted. "Pack up, and hurry! We'll be moving out on the hour!"
Scratching his wrist as an itch formed, he tapped the tip of his dagger against his chin thoughtfully. "Hm... Shor-d'na, eh?" |How can you kill a Shor-d'na?|
Frowning, he grabbed a book from the pile on his table and flipped through it, to the section where they told about Shor-d'na. Reading through it to find any clue as to how to kill a Shor-d'na, he stumbled across something interesting. "Nanosh!" he shouted. "Get over here!"
The gypsy appeared at his side instantly. "Yes, sir?"
"Read this," he ordered, holding the book out. The man read through it briefly, before looking at him in puzzlement. "What do you make of that?" Griffin asked.
Hans frowned, reading through it again. "I think you need to find a Masz-d'ra, or a Slaznhi Elf, or something like that..," he replied, frown deepening. "I'm not to familiar with reading the language."
Griffin frowned, staring at the book as if it itself would give the answers.
"Huh. Okay. Go get your stuff packed," he ordered, before standing up and grabbing what little belongings he owned and stuffing them into a bag.
As Duo felt his back touch the bed, he felt a tongue suddenly swirl around in the junction of is collar bones. He gasped, his head falling back and to the side. It felt like his nerves were on fire; every inch of flesh on his body was sensitized. And as Kess suddenly sucked his nipple into his mouth, his back arched, his hands clutching at the sheets. "Gods!" he gasped, head thrashing back and forth.
A tongue swirled around his nipple as teeth clamped down gently on it, and dimly, he felt Kess's hands at the ties of his breeches. But they didn't do anything, and Kess's mouth had suddenly left his skin.
"Duo," he murmured. "Do you want this?"
Reaching blindly for something to hold on to, he gripped Kess's shoulders tightly, nodding. "Yes!" he gasped after a moment.
Kess's mouth lowered to his stomach as his nimble fingers made short work of the ties of pants, before he pulled them off, Duo lifting his hips to help. Duo's abs quivered as he felt a tongue slide down them, before dipping into his navel. Duo cried out softly, hands burrowing into the sheets and clenching nearly painfully. |Gods..,| was his only coherent thought. Wufei had never done this to him.
Duo's voice went singing through the air as Kess licked a slow line on the underside of his quivering cock. And his hands instantly left the sheets, burrowing into Kess's surprisingly silky hair as the Masz-d'ra's tongue swirled
around the head, lapping at the precum there, and then trying to dig into the slit. Crying out again, his hips bucked up, his head arching backwards. "Aaaaahhh...."
Duo let out a shout of pleasure as Kess suddenly deep-throated him, back arching almost painfully, his hands clenching in Kess's hair. Duo's shout became a constant scream as Kess began humming, the vibrations threatening to drive him wild with pleasure. "Gods, Kess," he gasped. There was a low chuckle, before Kess started humming again, and both vibrations threatened to bring him off right there as Kess dragged his teeth up to the head, swirled his tongue around in the slit, and plunged back down hard, humming like crazy.
But it wasn't the liquid sensations that finally pushed him over the edge into a world of white as he came hard; it was the fact that it was Kess doing this to him. Screaming, his hips bucked like crazy and his whole body convulsed as he orgasmed so hard he passed out for a moment.
When he came to a few moments later, he opened his eyes to see Kess licking his lips. Swallowing, he slowly untangled his hands from Kess's hair, and the gold-eyed soldier looked up.
He looked amused, but startled at the same time. "You passed out," he murmured, a slight quirk to his lips.
Duo rolled his eyes, before grabbing Kess's shoulders and pulling him so that he was leaning over him. "That was amazing," Duo murmured, gazing up into Kess's eyes and drowning in gold. "It never felt like that with Wufei..."
One of Kess's elegantly arched eyebrows lifted. "Is that good or bad?"
Sliding his arms around Kess's neck, he smiled up at the older man. "Good." As he let his eyes travel over Kess's muscular frame, a shiver ran through his as he realized what the chiseled body could easily do to him, yet wasn't. "*Very* good."
He jumped as he felt a lube-slick finger slide into him, before melting back into the bed and moaning softly. He felt Kess move between his legs, and spread them wider in invitation as the finger slowly slid deeper. Once the finger was in as deep as it would go, it stayed there for a minute, until Duo was whimpering and shoving himself back in an effort to get it in deeper. Then it began to slowly thrust in and out until Duo was going crazy with need, whimpering and thrusting back against it.
Kess chose that moment to slip a second finger in, and he slowly sank that one in, waiting until Duo was thrusting back on the two combined, before thrusting them in and out. Duo's back was arching madly, sheets beginning to tear in his grip. Spreading his legs wider, Duo was nearly sobbing with need.
Finally, a third finger found its way inside of him, and seconds after it was fully seated, Duo was thrusting back to get them deeper. The three fingers began moving in and out slowly, and as Duo slowly went mad, another finger slipped inside. Duo's eyes widened comically as the sensation of four fingers inside him threatened to drive him insane. |How big *is* he?| he managed to think, before his brain overloaded as Kess's fingers began thrusting again, and with deadly accuracy, found his pleasure center. As Duo screamed, his back arching, those fingers began stimulating it ruthlessly.
And suddenly, they stopped. And pulled out. Opening his eyes to glare at Kess, he gulped. Hard. Kess had taken off his breeches and was currently lubing his cock. And it was *huge*. Around four inches thick. Probably a foot long, too.[7] |Oh shit... No *wonder* he used four fingers!|
But then Kess was draping his legs over the powerful shoulders, and Duo felt his shaft press lightly against his opening. And Duo suddenly had no doubts that this was going to feel good, but he was going to hurt like hell in the morning. And that was his last coherent thought as Kess pushed slightly and just the head slid in. Air hissed through Duo's clenched teeth, but he noticed with relief that Kess had stopped to let him adjust. It *did* hurt, even as well as Kess had prepared him, but not as much as it could have. And in a few moments, he'd adjusted to
it, and Kess was pushing deeper.
Duo's head fell back and his back arched, a loud moan slipping off his lips. It felt *good...* Eyes closed, he was panting as Kess slowly filled him. As soon as Kess was fully seated, he paused, letting Duo adjust. It still hurt a bit, but as his muscles slowly relaxed the pain disappeared. Wanting more, he shoved his hips back against Kess.
He whined in disappointment as Kess slowly pulled out, but his whine turned into a moan as Kess slowly pushed back in. Hands gripping Kess's powerful biceps, he slowly lost his mind as Kess set the pace, pulling out slowly, and then filling him with long, powerful strokes that sent him spiraling into heaven. And he didn't seem set on going any faster.
But with each impact, Duo cried out as Kess hit his prostate. And his cries turned to screams as Kess suddenly began slamming mercilessly, nearly brutally, into him, each thrust causing his engorged cock to slam hard against his pleasure center.
And as Kess suddenly reached between them and wrapped his long fingers around *his* erection, he screamed the Masz-d'ra's name at the top of his lungs and came harder than he ever had, shuddering and convulsing almost violently as he sobbed in his release.
He heard Kess cry out softly, before he felt the other soldier's own release splatter his insides. And then Kess had collapsed on top of him, still inside, and Duo wrapped his arms around the other man tightly, before pulling the covers over them.
“I just don't get it!"
Wufei looked up at Quatre, eyebrow lifted. "Don't get what?"
"How Duo can just win anyone over!" the blonde replied, sounding exasperated.
Blinking, Wufei stared at Quatre in confusion. "Uh... What?"
The blonde sighed, and then scowled, glaring at him. "First he's got you fucking him, and now he's got Kess!"
Insulted, Wufei's eyes narrowed dangerously. "I do it because he..." Frowning, he tried to find a way to explain why he would do it. "Well, he... Gah, I don't know how to say it! I guess I'll just say because he needs a fuck and no one else will do it."
The Elf rolled his eyes. "Apparently someone else will."
Wufei cocked his head to the right. "So. How'd you know they were at it?"
Scowling, Quatre pointed at his chest. "Empathy. Damn it to hell."
Wufei blinked. "Uh...Right. They're Soul-Mates, though. What do you expect?"
Quatre stared at him, startled into silence. After a minute, he began spluttering. "*What?!* What do you *mean* they're...'Soul-Mates?'" he demanded. "What *is* a Soul-Mate, and *how* did you know?"
Sighing, Wufei shook his head. "Soul-Mates are two people who are bound together spiritually for eternity. They love each other because they can't help it, and I knew it because it's a special ability La-an have."
Blinking, Quatre shook his head. "How can you tell?"
Frowning thoughtfully, he tried to put it into words. "Well... If I Look, I can See their spirits, and there's a sort of glowing string attaching the two, or something like that... I guess that's how I can explain it... But..." His frown
deepened as he Looked with that extra "eye" and saw another string of light attached to the two. "There's another string like thing... And I can't figure out why."
Quatre snorted. "I betcha I could tell you," he replied. "They're both Soul-Mates with someone else, too."
Blinking, his eyebrows rose, and frowning thoughtfully, he nodded, deciding that made sense. "Hm... I wonder why I didn't figure that out before..." Then frowning, he stared at Quatre. Hard. "But why are you so upset about this ability of Duo's to 'win anyone over,' as you put it?"
Quatre started. "Uh..!"
Wufei snorted. "And don't think I don't know about your fascination with Trowa," he muttered before Quatre could say anything.
Quatre stared at him for a moment longer, and stammered something, before turning bright red and fleeing out the door. Sighing, Wufei shook his head. Then he looked up as the curtains on another side of the room moved and Trowa emerged. He looked slightly surprised.
"Well, I hope you got what you wanted," Wufei muttered, before turning and walking away.
Later that day, a pair of sleepy gold eyes opened tentatively. |Why do I feel so warm?| Kess wondered, before looking down. Blinking, he shook his head to try to dispel the image he was obviously imagining. Only to find Duo still curled up in his arms, face buried in his chest. Frowning, He slowly unwrapped one arm from around the Elf and pinched himself. It hurt. |So it wasn't a dream...| With that, he wrapped his arm around Duo and pulled the younger man closer to him, burying his nose in the hair.
Inhaling deeply, he smiled as Duo's intoxicating scent drifted through his nostrils. |Mm...| Looking down at a slight movement, he found the man's eyes still closed and his breathing steady, but he knew he was awake. Smirking, he suddenly reached down and grabbed Duo's cock, pumping it quickly.
Smirking as Duo gripped his biceps, he pumped roughly, dipping his head to suckle on the man's right ear. Smirk widening as the Elf moaned loudly and bucked his hips, he suddenly let go.
"Kess!" the man whined. "What'd you do that for?" Then Duo blanched. "Damn. You knew I was awake, didn't you?"
Left brow raising, Kess just gazed at him.
Sighing, Duo shook his head. "I'll take that as a yes."
At Kess's nod, he looked away nervously. Curious at his nervousness, Kess tilted his head.
"Kess?" the brunette asked softly.
"Hn?"
"Can... I'd...like to try something," the other man said softly, sounding hesitant.
Kess's eyebrows shot up towards his hairline. What could he want to try that was making him so nervous? "I'm listening..."
Duo nibbled on his lower lip for a moment, before turning his head and meeting his eyes hesitantly. "Could...Could I take you?"
Kess blinked, taken by surprise. |Him...take me?| "I..." He hesitated. "I guess so..."
Duo looked slightly disappointed at his lack of eagerness. "You don't have to let me..," he began.
But before he could finish, Kess scowled at him. "Yes, Duo you can," he replied emphatically. Swallowing slightly, he took a deep breath and drew the man on top of him as he slowly let it out. "If that's what you want."
Duo stared at him for a second, before nodding. "It is," he replied, and then he was attacking his throat, licking and sucking softly, nipping slightly on occasion. Kess sighed, head falling back as the sensations washed over him. It
felt surprisingly good.
He felt Duo's tongue work its way down the left side of his throat and along his left shoulder, before stopping as it hit a scar.
Kess tensed, ready for Duo to reject him at the sight. And blinked. Duo was slowly licking the length of the scar, and then his mouth was kissing its way down his collar bone. Sidetracking, he worked his way to Kess's left nipple,
tongue darting out to flicker against the tip.
Gasping at the sensation, Kess's back arched into the touch, hands clutching the sheets and head falling back farther. "God..," he gasped, eyes fluttering closed.
He heard Duo chuckle, before his nipple was being rolled between Duo's teeth. Gasping harshly, Kess's breaths came in pants as sensation after sensation coursed through him. Then his mouth was gone, working its way down his six-pack, tongue swirling around and tracing the shape of each individual muscle. Mindlessly, Kess arched his back, a soft cry spilling from his lips.
And his cry grew in volume as Duo suddenly took him into his mouth, deep-throating him easily. He hadn't known it felt this good! And it was because of Duo's mouth that he barely noticed as the man slid a lubed finger slowly into him. The finger stilled for a moment to let him adjust, before slowly pulling out and thrusting back in. As the motion caused new sensations to race through him, his back arched further and he cried out loudly. It felt so *good...!* After a few moments, his hips began rocking back against the finger, trying to get it deeper, and he felt a second finger ease inside as Duo's mouth lifted from his engorged erection. The fingers stilled, and as his muscles loosened a bit, they began thrusting in and out.
Again, Kess gasped at the sensation, back arching and driving himself farther onto the fingers.
"Gods," he gasped. "More..."
He heard Duo chuckle, and then another finger slowly eased its way inside of his body. Kess hissed as the third finger caused a mild jab of pain to slice through him. And then his body relaxed around Duo's long fingers, and the other man began pumping them in and out. And then he jabbed them against something inside his body that made him arch and scream in pleasure. "More!" he gasped harshly, wanting more of that exquisite feeling.
But instead of complying, Duo pulled his fingers out. Opening his eyes to glare at the braided Elf, he swallowed as he saw Duo spreading some lubricant on his erection. The man wasn't exactly average. But then he discovered that didn't matter as Duo positioned himself at his entrance, bracing himself on his arms over him. Duo frowned down at him slightly. "Are you sure?" he asked, worried.
Kess nodded sharply, breath skidding to a stop in his throat as Duo nodded and began to push into him. Eyes squeezing shut, hands clutching the sheets, Kess felt himself filled completely as Duo stopped moving, buried as far as he could go. Biting his lip, he gazed with no little awe up at the man above him, who was obviously having trouble controlling himself.
The man Kess had chosen to give his virginity to.
"Have you ever done this before?" he gasped, wanting for some odd reason to know. As Duo shook his head "no," Kess felt himself relax completely.
Wanting the Elf to move, he bucked his hips up. That was all it took. Duo began pounding into him immediately, each thrust rocking his body and making his eyes roll up further into his head.
"Gods..," he sobbed, hands unconsciously rising to grip at Duo's shoulders as his legs clamped around his waist. Back arching continuously, Kess not so quietly lost his mind to sensation. "Harder!" he gasped, too far-gone to be amazed at the sensations Duo was causing or to realize how much noise he was making.
He found himself rocking back to meet every thrust, Duo's length inside him lighting fires and feeding them continuously. "More! Harder! Aah...! Gods... Faster!" he groaned, head thrashing back and forth as Duo's body pounded ruthlessly into his. Duo's hips began angling, and suddenly Kess screamed louder than before as Duo's arousal brutally slammed into something deep inside him that sent his mind in a down-spiraling course away from sanity.
The bed was rocking with every thrust now, making sounds of protest, but neither man was aware enough to hear it. With every thrust, Kess's body was rocked, and his screams were no longer intelligible. And then his ecstasy doubled suddenly as Duo took his arousal in his hand. Kess screamed hoarsely, and as his release came crashing down on him, his back arched impossibly, hands gripping Duo's shoulder harder than ever, and Duo's name spilled from his lips in an ear shattering scream.
Dimly, as his world exploded, he felt Duo thrust once more, before a splash of liquid on his insides. Slowly, he came down from his spot up high and realized Duo had collapsed on top of him. Slowly wrapping his arms around the exhausted general, he tried to catch his breath.
"Are you *sure* you've never done that before?" he gasped breathlessly. "You were *quite* good."
Duo chuckled softly, sounding absolutely exhausted. "Absolutely sure," he gasped, pulling himself farther up Kess's chest. "Were you a virgin?"
"Yeah," Kess replied softly, staring up at the ceiling. "I was."
He looked back at Duo to find the man watching him closely. "So why'd you decided to give it to me?" Duo asked, resting his head on Kess's broad chest.
Kess shrugged. "I don't know. It felt right, I guess," he replied. "I'm glad I did though... I *really* don't think I'm going to forget that."
Duo smiled, eyes softening and glowing in the red light of the evening sun. "Neither will I."
|Wait a minute! Evening sun?!| Blinking, Kess swiveled his head on his neck as far as he could, scowling as he saw the sun kissing the horizon[8]. "We have to get going," he sighed regretfully, not wanting to get up.
Duo scowled. "Damn." Then as he pulled himself onto his hands and knees above Kess, he winced. "It's gonna be hard to walk, though..."
Frowning, he felt suddenly guilty. "Sorry..," he replied, frown deepening as Duo hissed in pain. Slowly, he forced himself to sit up, biting his lip as a slight pain suddenly lanced through him from his bowels.
"Oo... Ow."
Duo looked up, a worried expression on his face. Guilt mingled with it. "Sorry..."
Shaking his head, Kess forced himself to stand, gritting his teeth against the sharp pain the movement produced. "Not your fault," he rasped through his clenched teeth. Turning slightly and not resisting a wince, he grabbed Duo's
clothes and threw them at him, before grabbing his own and pulling them on. As he finished tying the strings holding his gold breeches closed, he turned to find Duo dressed except for a jacket. And the one he had with him was being eyed with dismay. It was ripped beyond repair. "Oops... Sorry," Kess said, wincing slightly.
Gingerly sitting down, he began to pull his red leather boots on, quickly tying the laces, before standing up and running a hand through his hair.
Duo winced as he walked out of the room, right next to Kess. He was having trouble walking, but he noted with slightly guilty satisfaction that Kess was having trouble, too. Both of them wincing the whole way, they slowly walked into the huge dining room they would be eating in.
Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre all looked up, faces showing various degrees of amusement at their inability to walk correctly.
"What happened to *you* two?" Quatre asked a few minutes into eating their dinner, amused.
Looking up, Kess fixed him with a cold glare. "If you really must know, we were both on the receiving end," he replied passively, ignoring the three chokes the statement caused.
"Yeah," Duo agreed around a mouthful of food. Then he fixed Kess with a slightly amused, slightly surprised look. "You were pretty loud on the receiving end," he observed.
Blinking, Kess stared at him. |What? What does he mean-?! Oh.| Blinking, he stared at Duo in surprise, realizing he *had* indeed been rather loud. "Huh," he said after a moment of silence. "Go figure."
