Chapter 31: A New Dawn

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

I woke up feeling safe and warm. I felt Duo's arms that were still securely around my waist and heard his heart that was beating beneath my ear. I smelled the scent of sex lingering in the air mix with the scent of Duo and that of my own. Moving my lower half a little bit, I was surprised that I was no longer sore. There was just a dull ache that I felt, but nothing like I had felt earlier. I had to smile to myself, Duo and I had finally made a full circle with our relationship. I took him, and he took me, both of us had claimed the other and I was his for as long as our love lived on.

The clock read 7:01 am and I didn't have to move at all. The alarm wasn't on, I hadn't set the coffee pot since I made coffee right before we made love. I would have to pour that pot down the drain, it isn't any good to me now. The biggest relief was that I didn't have to go into work all this week. Margo was probably giving all my work to the intern or my co-workers. Trieze probably got the most of it. Even though he was older than me and had been there long, I still had him beat when it came to programming. He was second best now that Wufei was in the other department. At one point those two were dating but Wufei was ready to kill him at certain times in their relationship, so they broke it off.

Duo moved slightly underneath me and cleared his throat a little. Thinking he was going to get up, I snuggled into his chest even more than I already was and he stopped moving. It was a surprise when I first slept with Duo, when he had his breakdown, I noticed he didn't move a whole lot in his sleep unless a nightmare was forming. He always wrapped around me like an ivy once he found me and even in public, gripped my hand showing everyone he was with me. Physical contact was what Duo craved and I was willing to give him it in any way he wanted it. As long as our touching was appropriate and I wasn't doing something that required both of my hands, I would hang onto Duo whenever he wanted me.

Placing a kiss on his chest after a few minutes of making sure he was asleep, I propped myself up on one elbow and looked down at his sleeping face. He looked so relieved, so calm, and tranquil when he slept and I allowed myself to trace the contours of his face with my finger and push his bangs out of closed eyelids. I didn't unbraid his hair last night and he didn't wash it, so I would get the pleasure of doing it when he woke up, I hoped. I lay there watching him as he slept, one of my favorite passtimes any more it seemed, until his eyelids fluttered and revealed those beautiful purples eyes.

"Good morning sleepy-head." I whispered to him and claimed his lips in a kiss. Morning breath or not, I still loved his taste. He returned the kiss and ran his fingers through my hair with one hand and wrapped his other arm around my shoulders, pulling me down more to meet him.

"Good morning to you too, lover." He replied as we broke for air. "How are you?"

"Wonderful, now that you're awake."

Duo laughed but then turned serious. I could see him tense up a little as he asked. "I meant how are you physically? Was I too rough? Did you hate it?" I shook my head.

"No, I enjoyed it immensely. I would love to do it again, but not right now." I gave him a wink and claimed his lips again. He let out a sigh of relief when I let him sit up.

"I'm glad, more than glad actually. I was so afraid you'd hate it, even though you looked like you enjoyed it."

"Oh, I definitely enjoyed it. So much so that I want you to make love to me whenever you want to." I took his hand a repeated what he had back in our suite when we were at Niagara. As I placed his hand to touch my entrance, and tell him he was the only one who had ever and would ever claim me there, he began to cry. I released his hand and wrapped him up in my arms and pulled him into my lap, cuddling him to my chest until he settled down.

"Shh... it's okay Duo. Don't cry, I'm right here." I whispered sweet words to him and his sobs stopped, but he still clinged to me like the vine he turns into when he needs to be held. I rubbed his back up and down and kissed his hair and forehead as he regained his composure.

"Sorry. You're just so sweet sometimes, Heero. I wish I met you before. I love you. I love you so much. Never leave me. I love you."

"I love you, Duo. I'll never you, I promise. I promise you, Duo." I held him like that until we were both satisfied and then I steered him to the shower where we both washed each other with loving caresses and hugs.

"So Margo let you have the whole week off?" Duo asked before taking another sip of his second cup of coffee and leaning against the counter while I sat at the table nursing my first cup. He at least needed two cups to function properly in the morning. We were both in long bath robes, neither of us felt like getting dressed, but didn't want to walk around the apartment naked either.

"Yeah, she said I needed time to recover from my vacation with another vacation. She probably assumed we were going to have some fun while vacationing."

"Well at least she didn't lie to you about that. Although I hope you didn't act out because of her assumptions." Duo raised an eyebrow at me and my eyes widened at his accusation.

"Of course not! I would never do such a thing!" I yelled, but then saw a knowing grin forming on Duo's lips. I sighed and shook my head. "You said that on purpose, didn't you?"

"And it worked like a charm." He grinned coming over to me and put his cup down next to mine. He began rubbing my shoulders, kneading the tight muscles until they were relaxed again. "I was just teasing. I know you wouldn't do that, but I couldn't help my self. What we shared is for us and only us. However, I guarentee Tro and Quat are going to interogate the hell out of us when we go set up the club tomorrow. Of course, I wouldn't put it pass them to call us today."

"You think they will?" I asked, my back and shoulders feeling a lot looser than they had been in quite a while. Duo's fingers knew exactly where to work their magic.

"Maybe. They knew we were coming back yesterday and are probably just giving us time to settle in before they strike. They've done it to me before, so you're going to have the same pleasure of explaining the details as I am." Duo laughed a little and I joined in and shook my head.

"Some things are just between us though, right?" I asked looking up at him above me.

"Yeah. How we made love, the toys, me almost falling into the falls, that stuff remains between you and me." It was my turn to raise my eyebrows at him.

"So I'm not allowed to tell him that I had to rescue you?" I pouted and Duo cocked his head to the side.

"Well... maybe you can tell him that. IF he brings it up! Only if he brings it up first, then you can tell him that you're my shining knight and came to my rescue." He relented.

"Deal and I'll always come to rescue my fair and beautiful prince."

"Oooo, I like the sound of that!" He laughed and I pulled him into my lap to hug him.

"So do I." I kissed his nose and began to tickle him along his ribs.

"No! No fair! Ha ha. No... not there. Hee-chan. Stop. HA hahahahaha." When he began to hicup I stopped and kissed his cheek letting him relax again as he fell limp against me. I let him rest a few mintues and caress his arms, up and down.

"So, what do you want to do today?" I asked and rested my cheek against his hair.

"Just be with you, but a movie would be nice too. There's that new action adventure one that came out a few days ago. How about that?"

"Hmm... sounds good. How about dinner and a movie?"

"That'll be even better." Duo said softly and snuggled into my arms.

I took Duo out at 5:30 and drove to a fine dining restuarant that was fifteen minutes away from the theater. It was French restaurant and Duo made sure to ask the host if the menu was in english. She laughed and told him it was, but if he needed any help deciding on what to eat she could ask the server to recommend what was the best. They continued to joke back and forth until our table was ready, but I wasn't offended in the least. Duo kept holding my hand the entire time he spoke with her.

We were seated by the window and I asked for some chardonnay and as soon as Duo and I annouced our selections, the bottle arrived and the waiter went to give our order to the chef. The attendant opened the bottle and poured it into our glasses, then left us alone. Duo was going to take a sip but I stopped him.

"I want to make a toast. To a wonderful evening and a beautiful man I have with me to share it with." Duo smiled and we clinked our glasses together and took a drink. Duo ran his tongue over his upper lip to catch some of the liquor that remained there.

"This tastes really good Heero. Where'd you learn about wine so much? I own a club and most of the drinks we bring in, but I still let Quat have the finally say most of the time."

"From work mostly. Margo often invited us to go to wine tastings last year and even a little before that. There are always summits we have to go to, and learn about new programs that are created and how they're better that the last. I picked up on what we at and since Wufei likes to cook he taught me which wine goes with what kind of foods." I shrugged and took another sip. Duo just shook his head.

"Maybe I should give you the final say for the shipments to the club instead of Quat then?"

"No. I wouldn't want to offend him. He seems the type to take anything to heart and get hurt easily by it."

"He is, but he's a lot tougher than he looks."

"Yeah, I know."

We talked a little more before our dinner came out. Mostly, Duo talked about how he was going to have to make sure the two sex fiends didn't do anything outrangeous to his precious club and about the movie we were going to see. We both enjoyed our meal and drank the rest of our wine, before paying the bill and leaving the tip.

Duo drove to the movie theater at his insistance and I didn't mind at all. He talked to whole way and bought the movie ticket and pulled me along to sit in the back of the theater. Duo held my hand the entire movie and sat in my lap when he was 'startled' by the villian who popped out of nowhere and wrapped his arms around my neck and shoulders and buried his face in my collarbone because he was so sacred. I had to laugh and by the time the movie ended, I was pretty sure I enjoyed watching Duo more than I had the move. His expressions could change so fast and tell so much that I could probably recall his expressions in order instead of the scenes in the movie.

As we walked out of the theater, Duo leaned into me as I wrapped an arm around him and lead him to the car. I drove us home and found down asleep as I parked in my spot. I got out of my side and went to his and gentle unbuclked him and lifted him out. It took some manuvering but I managed to unlock all the doors and carry him at the same time. I lay him on the bed and got him undressed down to his boxers, then removed my own clothes and put them in the hamper to wash. As I turned back, I found Duo watching me.

"Have a good sleep?" I asked him softly.

"Mmmhmm."

"Still tired?"

"Uh-uh."

"Do you want something?" Duo nodded. "What do you want?"

"You." I came over to the bed and sat next to him and leaned down to kiss him softly. "Make love to me?"

I smiled. "Always."

TBC...

Okay. That is it for now and I must warn you. I am going back to college and back to having classes every day m-f so I don't know how fast I can update. I will when I can. I promise, but FTBTL and Sheer Bliss might get put on hold for a while, sorry. I'll do what I can and hopefully I can crank out a chapter for each of them before I have to pack up and haul out. Sorry for the inconvience.

Please Review.
