Kissing Disease
By Pamela Ann
Chapter 2 (Animal Planet)
The doctor came and went Duo didn't even flinch. As time passed, he woke in a haze, feeling cold and sweaty; but comforted by a woman's voice, soft touch and chicken soup.
This last time he woke was different, there was something tickling his nose and cheek, plus he didn't feel cold or sweaty anymore. He slowly opened his eyes to the smell of clean flesh and orange blossoms; then, he came to focus on what was tickling his face. It was a piece of Chinese silk fabric that had orangeish-yellow background with hot pink; blue, green and silver flowers embroider on it.
The fabric was a belt that was attached to a short kimono robe that was barely covering up well toned, suntanned legs, Duo noticed as he pushed the cloth away from tickling him, groaning, "Hmmm..." because he tried to stretch his achy muscles.
"Duo, you're awake," Hirde commented, as she moved back away from the window above the bed, that she had cracked open to let some fresh air in.
Duo tried to sit up, but failed to do so, holding his head, moaning and groaning, "Alh, man, I hope you got the license plate number of that Mack truck that hit me."
Hirde giggled, pouring him a cup of tea and claimed, "That Mack truck was me! I gave you mono."
"Mono?!" Duo questioned her because he thought it was just the flu.
"Yeah, just a mild case. The doctor just figured it out yesterday, because you were sleeping so much," she explained to him, "would you like some tea?"
"Sure." Duo lay there and watched her put sugar in it, then sat up a little when she handed it to him. He was curious to know, "How long have I been out?"
"About a week and a half. Your fever just broke this morning," she informed him as she made a cup for herself.
"That long, huh? Wow, it didn't seem like it!" he was surprised.
"You don't remember anything?" she was inquisitive, "I mean you did wake up long enough to eat and stuff like that."
"Yeah, but ya know when ya can't tell if you're awake or dreaming?" he told her.
"Yeah, been there, done that got my tee shirt and left! I just woke up this weekend," she joshed, totally understanding his dilemma. "Well, are ya hungry?" she asked brushing his bangs aside, feeling his skin from forehead to cheek, checking to make sure that his fever was still gone.
Although Duo knew this was an innocent gesture, it affected him in ways he didn't want to think about; so, he ignored it and replied,
"Starved," taking a sip of his tea.
"Good, just relax and I'll make you some dinner," she told him.
He felt in need of a bath and politely asked, "May I take a shower?"
"If you're feeling up to it, sure, there are clean towels in the hall closet," she explained to him, as she sat her tea down and proceeded to leave the room.
"Hirde?" Duo stopped her, she turned with a questionable look on her face, as he continued "Do you have any clean clothes I can put on?"
"I'll see what I can come up with," she said, then turned and walked away from the doorway.
Duo stared at the door, waiting to either hear her in the kitchen or for his hard-on to go away, whichever came first.
Finally, he could hear pots banging; so, he quickly got up and hurried to get the towels and on into the bathroom. He took off his boxers and tee shirt, unbraided his hair, turned the water on cold and got in not wanting to jerk off in her shower.
Duo just took a shower and let the cold water do its job. But he came to a conclusion while he was bathing, thinking ~Why shouldn't I get together with her? What's the big deal? I already love her~. Then, another thought came to mind, ~What if she doesn't want me? I've got to find out somehow~. Not wanting to get a headache, he just finished showering.
In the meantime, Hirde made him food, then got out her largest pair of boxer shorts and headed to the bathroom door because she heard the water turn off. She knocked.
"Hang on a sec," he answered, then the door came open and Hirde took her eyes off the floor, only to have them meet up with Duo's smooth, expansive chest.
Hirde's eyes widened as she looked him up and down, feeling hot and not sure why. But, she had no idea that Duo held such a splendid physique under his clothes. He successfully hid a big, strong chest, a six-pack of abs and large biceps, plus his hair was down and wet.
She wasn't too aware of her reaction, but it gave Duo the answer he needed as he let the towel sag from his grasp so his flanks were showing and he took a laxed stance, leaning on the door, giving her a wicked smile.
She came to focus on the silver cross pendant that was hanging from a thin, herringbone, silver chain around his neck as she tried to remember what the hell she was going to say.
"Yez, may I help you?" Duo asked in a devious tone with an equally devious look.
Which brought Hirde back to earth as she stuttered out, looking him in the eye, "Boxer shorts...ahh, I got you some boxer shorts."
"And why do you own boxer shorts?" he replied with a smirk.
So, she explained, suddenly feeling like a giddy schoolgirl because of the way he was looking at her, "I like to wear them when I sleep."
"Oh," he smiled realizing the affect he was now having on her and not caring that he might be pitching a tent. He never took he eyes from hers.
His intense gaze made her so nervous she couldn't look at him and didn't know what to do. So, she stretched the fabric, held it up to his waist and claimed, "They look like they'll fit...don't ya think?" trying to ease the tension, but this only seemed to make it worse.
Duo's smile disappeared as the skin of her fingers warmed the skin on his stomach and he didn't even look to see if they would fit before he growled out, "Sure."
His tone made her look up as he uncurled three fingers from the towel and grasped onto the waistband of the shorts, his eyes never wavered from hers.
His eyes where darkened, strangely, with some emotion she never saw directed at her before and a muscle twitched in his jaw which made her swallow hard.
Looking away, she stuttered some more, "wuhmm...anyway."
She let go of the material and bowed her head, turned on her heel and started to walk away. Then, looked back over her shoulder, only to see Duo lean out and wink at her and she could feel her cheeks burn. So, she turned back, quickly, trying to act casual saying, "Dinner's ready when you are."
"Well, now, hey, Mikey, I think she likes ya," Duo uttered to himself after he closed the door to put the boxers on that were a little tight and gleefully went on to brush his hair.
He proceeded to walk out of the bathroom to go into the kitchen, but Hirde stopped him with a tray of food in hand and told him, "Here. You should lay back down."
"What? Dinner in bed? Cool." He smiled and followed her back into the spare bedroom. He got back under the covers, getting comfortable, sitting up, so he could eat in bed; while she got a TV tray out and set it up, then moved the tray from the nightstand, setting the whole thing in front of him.
"There ya go. Need anything?" asking as she turned to make an exit.
But Duo caught her wrist, wondering, "Where are you going?"
"To make myself something to eat," she explained.
He looked at all the food on his plate saying, "I couldn't possibly eat all this. Why don't you help me?...Eat with me, please?" he pulled her gently down to sit on the side of the bed next to him.
"Okay, sure, I guess. Do you want to watch TV?" she said.
"Sure," he retorted as she leaned over him to get the remote off the nightstand and in the process, he could feel the warmth from her body, smell her scent. He watched her every move, intently, until she sat back down.
She didn't even notice him staring at her as she turned the TV on. She started flipping through the channels, posing the question, "So, what do you want to watch?"
And Duo just kept staring at her, looking her over, taking a bite of his dinner saying, "This is fine," not caring what the hell was on the TV.
She put the remote beside her and leaned in to get some food, not realizing that her robe sagged open.
Duo's lips twisted with a sexy smirk as he took in the sight of her breasts. They were small, but full making him want to brush aside the silk and sample the soft flesh. He was chewing on a piece of food at the time and his chewing slowed as he watched her, almost in slow motion, put the morsel of food in her mouth.
Leaning back, never taking her eyes off the TV, she then noticed he wasn't watching the TV, but her, out of the corner of her eye. So, she slowed her chewing as well; wiping her mouth with a napkin, still looking at him out of the corner of her eye, asking in a cheeky tone, "What?"
He gave her another devious look like he did in the bathroom doorway, moving his eyes quickly from hers to her chest and back again, then looking away at the TV, he answered in a harsh voice, "Hum..nothin."
She stopped all her motions, hands in mid air holding the napkin and just having put another piece of food in her mouth; his tone made her look down at her chest. Her eyes widened with surprise that her robe was wide open, but because of the way she was sitting you couldn't see her breasts anymore. She quickly pulled the two pieces of fabric together, tightly, in her fist. She glanced at Duo as her cheeks burned with embarrassment, because she was not too sure how much he had seen and wasn't about to ask. So she tried to act cool by commenting, "Wow, there's really nothing on, is there?"
By that point, Duo had turned his attention back to the food because he was very famished and Hirde breathed a sigh of relief, happy that he had done so. She settled on an animal show that was quite cute and they sat there eating, cooing over the adorable animals they saw. Soon the dinner was cleaned off the plate and there were two mating lions on the tube.
Duo slanted Hirde a look with a glint of mischief dancing in his eyes, as he burst into chorus. "Hey, baby, you and me ain't nothin but mammals, so lets do like they do on the Discovery channel," and processed to jump on Hirde, tickling her till she came to tears.
"DUUUOOO!!!" she shouted over her frantic giggles "SSTOP PLEEEASE!!!" Hirde pushed hard at his hands, trying to get him to stop, then got the idea to tickle him back.
Hirde had been in enough tickle fights with him by now to know where to get him best and she went right for her favorite spot, under his chin. She worked her fingers there like she was scratching a cat's neck. And Duo automatically tucked his jaw in, trying to get her to stop without having to grab her hands.
"Ahhhhahahahahaahaaaa...HHHIIIRRDDEEEEHHEHEHEH...STOPEHAHAH AHHEEEEE!" He laughed hard as he kept on tormenting her, but was shaking his head, attempting to dislodge her finger from his throat.
This good natured play lasted till someone got hurt and it was Hirde, as she kicked the TV tray with her foot, almost turning it over.
"AHHHHAHA...OOUUCH...DUO come on stop that hurt...aaahheeheehaaahouch!" she insisted with a giggle still in her voice, because she didn't hurt her foot too badly. Luckily, it was enough to get her a reprieve from Duo's torture.
"Besides, Duo you should take it easy, you just got over having a fever and being sick this morning." She expressed concern, trying to get him to calm down before he passed out or got sick from just eating solid food for the first time in a week and a half. But to no avail, he had gotten back almost all of his usual energy, it seemed, just by eating.
Of course, that's the Duo she knew and loved. Always smiling, happy, cheerful, he could make the room lighten up, when he was in it, just by smiling. He had so much charisma and an infectious laugh, he was just so much fun to be around.
"Oh, Hirde, babe, I feel great, thanks to all your love and care," he teased, dancing his fingers on the bottom of her foot.
"HEYYYYY..SSSSStop!" she giggled again, withdrawing her foot from him.
"Besides, I think I should punish you, anyways," Duo started chuckling and went to jump back on her.
She quickly dodged that attack as she inquired, laughing, "WHY?! What did I do?!?!"
"YOU GAVE ME MONO!!" he shrieked, laughing as he got her back into the position that he had her in before and went on to tickle her some more.
"COMEONNNNN, DUO, ANYTHING BUT TICKLIIIIING PLEAZZZZZ" she pleaded in the screeching tone of laugher.
"REALLY? OK, I KNOW, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEX WITH ME THEN," Duo teased, laughing while still tickling her.
"DUO!!" she exclaimed, as she pushed him off of her.
"Come on, Hirde, I know you know what to do! I know you had to read karma sutra, and sex ed stuff all as a part of your training in the OZ academy!" Duo babbled on giggling and tried to continue on tickling her, not realizing that she was not finding this one bit funny until...
"DUO, GET OFF ME!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!! IS THAT What you think of me?!" she shouted at him, finally pushing him away.
Duo woke up to the fact that he really pissed her off and tried to salvage the situation as he appealed, "NO, NO, HIRDE, I DIDNT MEAN IT LI..."
But, she didn't want to hear his witty banter as he tried to redeem himself, because it just pissed her off more so she shouted,"YOU CAN GO TO HELL, YOU JACKASS!"
Hirde got up off the bed and stormed into her room as Duo attempted to grab her, to stop her from leaving, wailing, "NO, HIRDE, NO, PLEASE, LISTEN COME BACK HEEERE, PLEEEEAZZZ HIRDEEEE!" while swiping at air, as she fled the room.
"Damn it!" he cursed himself, "Smooth move, there, slick."
He heard the door to her bedroom slam shut as he flopped back into the pillows on his bed and flung his arm up till his bicep rested on his forehead. He gave a big huff in total disgust with his own behavior. Duo laid there letting the situation calm down and took the time to figure out his next move.
