Chapter 3

 

Duo sighed heavily as he made his way back to his room. He flopped heavily on his bed trying desperately to wish everything away. Unfortunately, the smell of the mortal he'd saved the other night still lingered on his covers and pillows. It was a mix of vanilla, the woods, and the human's musk. The combination was intoxicating.

 

“So are you going to keep both of them?” Hilde asked from the door. She knew this was what Duo needed. After his brother, Solo, had died, the braided fey had given all of his free time to the studies of becoming king. He wanted the different kingdoms of fey to get along in peace not force treaties and war. It wasn't fair to younger fey who didn't believe in fighting others because of their differences.

 

“I guess, I can't turn down a gift from daddy-dearest.” He answered giving `daddy-dearest' a mocking tone. “And the huma—Heero is my responsibility since I bought him here.” It was reasonable. What was the point of saving the human if he was only going to let him get killed?

 

Hilde nodded seeing the logic and the undercurrent of something more. She inwardly grinned. “You have your work cut out for you. I'll let you rest in the mean time.” She turned and waved over her shoulder. Duo returned it halfheartedly before dozing off.

**

Heero drew the conclusion that he really, really didn't like G. After the man had made his second appearance, he'd talked to Duo about something. Whatever it was was the reason he was here being bathed quickly and efficiently by two other male feys he didn't know.

 

One of them was about six foot, maybe less, with long sinewy limbs. He had an olive complexion and one visible emerald eye. The other was hidden behind the odd fall of his brunette hair. He had a pair of golden shackles on his ankles and one on his left wrist. He was dressed in a pair of see-through white pants with a `v' cut along the waist.

 

The other male was shorter with jet black hair and oriental features. His face reminded Heero of a porcelain doll with wide almond shaped onyx eyes and high cheekbones. His hair was pulled back into a severe ponytail. His features were set in a determined expression as he looked both Heero and the redhead fey over.

 

Both had semi-transparent black wings with moonlight designs.

 

“I'll take the one with the blue eyes.” The taller of the two mumbled. His voice was slightly different from the other fey's accents Heero noted. Maybe he wasn't around here. “Come here, please.” The fey said softly. When Heero only looked at him in confusion, the banged man sighed. “Well, I did want to see if my speaking human had improved….” He paused trying to recall old skills he hadn't used in years. “Come here, please.” He said shakily.

 

Heero blinked at the fey amazed at the fact he knew English. He walked timidly at first before growing some confidence. “You know English?”

“If that's what you human language is know as, yes.” The fey answered feeling slightly more comfortable with his words. “My name is Trowa Barton.”

 

“Heero Yuy.”

”Nice to meet you.”

 

The dark haired fey nodded as he watched the two interact. Seeing that neither looked like they were ready to kill each other at the moment, he turned to the fey before him. “Come with me.” He said calmly. The younger fey only glared and stepped back. The older man frowned and sighed. “Look, I know you don't like being taken from your homeland and forced to stay here as a slave, no less, but you'll learn to cope. Duo is a very honorable person.”

 

“And how do I know that you're not just saying that?” The redhead retorted. “For all I know, you've been mind fucked into submission.”

 

The raven haired fey raised an eyebrow at that statement. “I don't think Duo is interested in me that way. My name is Wufei by the way. I am servant to the General of this kingdom, Trieze Kushrenada.” Wufei bowed shallowly without taking his eyes from the fey's.

 

“Talim.” The boy grumbled. He surprised Wufei by bowing as well. “Talim of the Blood tribe.”

 

“Nice to meet you Talim. Please come this way.” Wufei turned slowly as if the other fey would turn and run. He led the way to where Trowa was with Heero. “This is where you will bathe yourself unless Duo wishes otherwise.” He informed Talim knowing that Heero had been given the same information. “You are allowed here whenever you wish. However, after you have the last of the links to your wrist, you will not be able to leave the Kingdom. With the two shackles on your ankles, you'll be able to get at least a few miles away from the kingdom before you are stopped.”

 

“How will I be stopped?” Talim asked eying the shackles thoughtfully.

 

“The shackles will begin to send painful jolts into your body. The amount of pain will grow the further you get away from the kingdom. Unless Duo changes it to do so, they can also contract cutting off the circulation to your feet and hand. Eventually they'll be cut off.”

Talim's heart sunk at that. He'd have to find a way to get them off.

 

“You can't remove them without Duo's magic. Only his type of magic can remove them and Hilde, his sister, is the only one with the same type. She's very loyal to him.” Wufei stopped and motioned to the ledge of a large bath. It was filled two inches from the brim with steaming water. “Please, let's begin.”

 

Talim glared at the water for a few moments before absently striping off the pants he'd been given. During the warmer seasons, he was used to going without clothes so there was no body shyness once he was completely ridded of the garment. Looking to the side he could see that the human was doing the same. He swallowed at the sight of the foreign body. There were no wings yet the man seemed totally at balanced.

 

Muscles moved under the man's skin as he moved. His skin was rich and bronze, completely flawless.

 

Talim tore his eyes from the human's body before sitting at the edge of the bath. He dipped his legs in up the middle of his calves. He rubbed them together under the water humming appreciatively of the water caressing his tired muscles.

 

Despite his best efforts, Heero could keep his eyes from drifted to the fey at his side. Something about the petite boy's body and presence made his skin ache with need. Quick to hide hat fact, Heero lowered himself quickly into the water. The bath was deeper than he thought it was.

 

Trowa tensed as the human's head disappeared under the water. Could humans breathe under water? No that was fish! Slowly, he leaned closer to the water surface. He jumped back quickly as the human resurfaced coughing and spitting out water. “You are a very awkward creature.”

 

“Thanks.” Heero croaked clinging to the side of the bath. The water rippled again sending the Japanese man's eyes to the side. Talim resurfaced at the same time running his hands over his hair to push the wet strands back. His bottom lip was pulled between his teeth and his eyes were closed making it seem that he was enjoying something more than just a bath. Heero swallowed finding his mouth dryer than normal.

 

“I'll let you bathe for some minutes before I return to clean your wings.” Wufei said coolly. He stood slowly turning and leaving the room.

 

“I guess, I can leave you to watch him.” Trowa said calmly to Heero. Heero looked up sharply. The taller man only grinned knowingly. “I'll see you in a few minutes.” With that, he left too.

 

“So your name is Heero, huh?” Talim called to the human beside him. He had his arms folded in front of him with his head rested there. “Why'd you help him?”

 

Heero turned to stare at the boy. He didn't understand a word he said other than his name.

 

“Don't get in my way again. I'd hate to have to hurt you too.” Talim said and was surprised that he meant it. “Name's Talim.” He said turned to Heero. “You don't understand a word I'm saying do you?” Heero only blinked. Talim smirked. “You have nice eyes for a human.” With that Talim turned back to washing himself.

 

Heero only blinked. For some reason he had a feeling he'd just missed an important part of the conversation. With a shrug he began to wash himself too. Minutes later, Wufei came back motioning for Talim to sit on the edge of the bath again. In his hand was a bottle and what looked to be a paintbrush. Talim did as he was told.

 

“Unfurl your wings.” Wufei ordered. Talim did as he was told. “Beautiful.” Was all the dark fey's words as he began dip the brush in the bottle. Whatever was inside the bottle was metallic purple and glittered as it was applied to the fey's wings. Talim shivered stifled a moan as the brush went over his wings. He settled for sighing and staring blankly forward.

 

Heero watched in curiosity as Wufei applied the substance. By the way the younger fey's eyes glazed over, he'd say that it felt good.

 

Ten minutes later, Trowa came in and Talim's wings were covered in metallic purple. The emerald eyed man squatted before Heero. “Duo's coming down to attach these.” He informed the Japanese man.

 

“Okay, should I get dressed?”

 

Trowa shook his head. “Doesn't matter.” He placed four shackles before him. Three of them were silver, almost white. The last was black matching the shackles on Talim's ankles.

 

“You can rinse this off in ten minutes.” Wufei said before standing. “I guess you got the easier of the two jobs, huh?” He said to Trowa. The stoic man only smirked slightly. “Slacker.”

 

“No need to get all bitter about it.” Trowa teased lightly. Just then Duo came in.

 

The braided fey froze in the doorway. His face immediately colored at he sight of a naked and wet Heero and an equally wet and naked back of the redhead fey.

 

“Hello, Duo.” Wufei greeted. “His name is Talim.” He said ignoring the glare he got from said youth.

 

“Uh…yeah…” Duo said clawing his way up from the images of naked flesh. “You need me to put on the shackles, ne?” He said throwing up a jester's mask to hide his unease. He grinned at Trowa and walked over. “These are for…”

 

“Heero.” Trowa informed picking up the first two shackles. Duo examined the two silver-white shackles.

 

“Alright, let's put them on.” Duo said nonchalantly.

 

“We're going to put these on you.” Trowa informed Heero.

 

“Why?” Heero said frowning slightly.

 

“You belong to Duo now…”

”No, I don't”

 

“He saved you, you belong to him.”

 

“No, I don't.”

 

“Uh-huh.”

 

“Nu-uh.”

 

Trowa sighed. He put a finger to the stubborn human's forehead and pushed. “You belong to him. Until you can come up with a plan, you're going to need to cooperate.” Heero only glared before nodding.

 

Duo didn't know what was going on between the two but obviously the human didn't like it. He sighed wearily at the thought of another rebellious slave. To his relief and dismay, the human pulled himself from the water. The braided fey's mouth watered at the sight of muscles flexing under the layer of bronze skin. Swallowing hard, he focused as the human offered him one of his ankles. He took the offered limb and slipped the shackle over the man's foot.

 

Heero watched carefully as the metal cuff was bought over his foot and around his ankle. He couldn't see how the metal was going to fit his ankle if it didn't have any way to adjust it visible.

 

“Pequeña,” Duo said waving his hand over the metal. Instantly, the metal began to contract growing thicker as it grew smaller around itself. Within seconds the cold texture was pressed to Heero's ankle. The same process was repeated with Heero's other ankle.

 

Both men jumped at the sound of the water splashing. Talim resurfaced glaring at Wufei who was glaring back. “Asshole.” The youth mumbled and dived back down.

 

Duo let out a breath of air before reaching for the last of the cuffs. He held it so that he could see the inside of it as he put his finger inside his mouth. He bit down drawing a small amount of blood before bringing it back out. He ran it over the inside of the cuff before taking Heero's wrist.

 

Heero gasped as Duo took his finger into his mouth. His nether regions gave a quick jolt as well making his breath hitch. He winced when Duo bit down on the digit. The fey sucked softly coaxing the blood out of the small puncture. Heero squirmed at the pain/pleasure mix the hot cavern was giving him. After a small eternity, Duo released the finger and ran it over where his blood was. At the same time he slipped the cuff over and onto Heero's wrists.

 

“Unir” He said running his hand around the cuff. Like the ones around Heero's ankles, that one shrunk too until it was snug against the Japanese man's flesh.

 

“If you obey him long enough, they'll loosen.” Trowa whispered. Heero nodded unconsciously.

 

Duo sighed, “I have to do Talim now don't I?” He said wearily eying where the boy had gone under. “Did he drown himself?” At the same time Talim surfaced. He'd been under long enough to know that there was a tube that took in water and expelled water. Where they ended was something he'd have to figure out later.

 

He pulled himself from the water panting and wiping his hair back.

 

“Your turn.” Wufei said. Talim glared from him to Duo and sighed. He offered his left hand and looked away. He swallowed twice as Duo took his finger in his mouth and bit down. His traitorous hormones jumped excitedly. The cuff was placed on his wrist quickly and efficiently then Duo stood.

 

“You now belong to me. I promise to take care of what belongs to me.” He said and left. The taste of each man's flesh swirled in his mouth.

 

TBC……
