Mega Man Fan Fiction ❯ TENACITY (Zero/X) ❯ Confessions and Truth ( Chapter 7 )

CHAPTER SEVEN:

 

X was waiting for Zero to come home. He got bored when he had to spend almost the entire day alone. He lay down on the couch, sighing at his thoughts. The events of the night before going over and over in his mind, leaving him blushing. He never knew how much he'd come to wanting Zero like that. He didn't know if it was a one-time thing, or if it had even meant anything. He did however, remember what Zero said to him. Saying that he now belonged to him. X was now Zero's. He shivered to the thought.

 

X got up when he heard the door open. Zero handed his helmet over to X without looking to him as he walked further inside.

“Welcome back”, X began, being ignored like usual. But he still kept genuinely smiling as he placed the helmet down on the side table before he followed Zero back into the room more. After getting rid of his armor and into something more comfortable, Zero got out a beer—like he always did—crashing on the lounge to enjoy it. X sat near him silently. Zero bothered to spare him a glance.

“Don't think I'm letting you have one…you're a hopeless little fuck when you're drunk”.

He looked away, blushing. Blocking out insults had almost become natural for him now. X was suddenly knocked back into the current scene and out of his previous daydreams when Zero tossed the can away, the empty tin hitting then ricocheting off of him. Zero seemed to be pretty jaded. X innocently looked over at him, not noticing Zero's eyes trail up his body, checking him out again. Humming under his breath in agreement to what he saw.

“Lie down”.

X did as the demand asked, moving from were he sat to lie down on the couch. Zero crawled a top of him, kissing into X's neck. X had to stop himself from moaning, but couldn't suppress his mewing. Zero had already left him feeling so hot as he continued to kiss his neck, now with his hands exploring over X's body. The younger one flustered.

He didn't have time to speak, lightly letting out a squeak as Zero snatched him up in his arms, taking him to the next room.

 

He threw X against the bed violently. A different demeanor to the night before. X collected himself, but didn't fight when Zero started to get rid of his clothing. Zero flipped X over, making a thud with the unexpected movement. Zero climbed up with him, X letting himself be positioned on his hands and knees. Zero kissed into the back of his neck, making X moan. He snagged his hair forcefully, shoving his front half down, X's face meeting the mattress suddenly. Zero's free hand making sure X didn't move his hips when he took him.

 

The brunette gasped, gritting his teeth at the intrusion. Zero taking him raw. Yanking still at his hair while still pushing his head down. His body fighting against the friction pressed within him. X groaned. Zero freed X of the grip he had of his hip, he pulled X up by the hair, only to with his free hand to pull X's arms with force, locking them against his back before driving him down into the mattress again. X instinctively struggled against it, only to his dominators enjoyment. X had tried biting his lip to try and divert his mind to his now bleeding lip rather than the ache the rest of his body was enduring. Zero's grip on his hair hurting his head, and the hold on his arms—still pinned back—too tight, to a point he was sure they'd be bruised by the end.

“Ah…it…ah, hurts…” X panted. Zero sneered, not caring.

“Good…means you'll scream even more for me”.

Purposely he struck him harder, making X shriek. He kept the pace to make X loudly moan, several slipping into cries. He'd attempted shifting his body, but Zero used it as an excuse to forceful push him down again, reminding X he had no control right now.

 

X was left confused. He wanted to be doing this with Zero, he really did. But this time was simply about hurting him, he'd managed a lot more pleasure the time before, but the point of this was to harm him. X tried denying that, fighting to find a form of enjoyment within the pain, groaning now. Zero pulled X's arms towards him, forcing X to arch back against his will, hurting him more, keeping his head up by the firm grip he had on his hair. He cried out again, before Zero finally let him drop back down against the bed. Never letting up in pounding his insides relentlessly.

 

He was sobbing, he couldn't stop tears, moaning loudly and occasionally letting them fade out into whimpers.

“Z-Zero…ah…nn…hurts…i t hurts…oh…”

A sudden strike deeper in him had automatically made X buck his hips against Zero's thrust. Through the pain, a desire forced onto him every time Zero purposely set aim to X's `weakness'. Crying louder, his body left in convulsions again.

 

He felt a liquid form rivulets down his inner thighs whilst still under Zero's force. X had been too caught up in everything else to overly think about it. Or the fact that he was bleeding…

 

***

 

When X collapsed, spent on the bed, Zero moved out of him, looking over what he'd claimed again. X gasped futilely to get his breath back, his throbbing body ailing him. He heard a light snicker under Zero's breath.

“Guess I wore you out?” he noted the blood that he'd left on X's thighs. X looked over his shoulder, to see Zero thinking about his next move. He was silent as Zero looked to him, unable to reader the blonde's emotions or intensions. Zero gathered his exhausted X up in his arms, who was unsure of what was to happen next as Zero carried him from the bed.

 

He took him to the bathroom, holding him still as he took him into the shower with him, turning the water on, and its heat causing steam to rise around them.

“Can't have you bleeding all over the sheets, now can I, sugar?” the younger one blushed to Zero's husky and dominant voice. Zero had put him down, his hands running over X's body again, even if he was making sure to get rid of the blood off X, he left him blushing to the touch.

 

For part of the time, Zero had pressed X against the tiled wall, forcing him into a kiss, driving X's senses mad again. His face was completely flushed when Zero decided to call it quits, leading him out and handing him a towel to get rid of some of the excess water dripping off of him. Still damp though, Zero picked X up again, taking him back to the bedroom before settling down in bed, laying on his back and pulling X to rest his head against his chest. Only X made an observation about where they were.

“Why my bed?” X asked innocently.

“I'm not getting my sheets wet, so just go to sleep”.

“Okay…goodnight”.

“Tomorrow we'll have to go buy you some lube so I don't end up ripping you apart again”.

X went silent, blushing against the last comment Zero made to him. He was too exhausted to think about it for too long and fell asleep in Zero's embrace again.

A content but worn smile on his face.

This had been the first time in a really long time X and Zero had left HQ together leisurely. They'd been too preoccupied or busy with missions they rarely left, which went for most the hunters. X was happy to be holding Zero's hand as he led him through the city. They didn't talk much at all, but that was normal between them. Zero kept to his word on what he'd said last night. X felt awkward about it though, especially the type of store they had to go into next to buy it; leaving him feeling out of place.

 

 

“You can pick anything out if you're interested in having a little extra fun”, Zero purposely saying that to get a shy reaction from X as he let his hand go to go to the counter to get what they came for.

Zero and the crew he'd hung out with over his time as a Hunter weren't the `cleanest' type X had met. Pretty shameless when it came to dirty things. X had to rip his eyes away from some of the things he saw in the store, trying his best to avoid what he could, moving to keep close to Zero, who looked to him a moment before turning back to pay the owner.

“That your one?” the owner had sneered. Zero scoffed in reply, but the smug look on his face giving away his answer. “Quite cute; he looks like he must be lots of fun”.

X felt uncomfortable, taking Zero's hand to try and make himself feel safe in a place that left him so out of place. He was happy when Zero took lead to exit. Sighing in relief when they hit the streets again.

“Hope you like your present, we'll use it tonight”, X blushed when Zero turned back lewdly to him a moment.

 

“Umm…Zero…” X began in a soft voice, Zero stopped to look back at him, still holding onto his hand. “I was thinking…since we don't have a mission today or anything…” he trailed off a moment. Zero waited impatiently for him to continue. “Maybe we could just spend the day out…together and stuff”.

Zero rolled his eyes, but brought himself to smirk.

“Sure, whatever”.

X's expression brightened, and he couldn't hide the large smile he was wearing now.

X couldn't even really say what they did that day. Just basically hung around, X enjoying mainly being in Zero's company, who—although most the time irritated with X—for once hadn't seemed to overly mind the day either. Afternoon had come around swiftly, X choosing the park as the last place of visit. The evening air coming in as they had begun the walk back home.

“Z-Zero…”

He stopped, X having pulled back from his usual hold of his hand, he turned to see what X was stuttering about now. X sat down on the bench they'd just past. Trying to fight up the nerves when Zero sat next to him. Nonchalant as usual.

 

Zero I…I…”—X took a deep breath, trying to force himself to say it—“I…l-love you”.

 

A silence followed.

 

Zero looked to him, X swore his breathing hitch waiting for a reply. Not sure of what to be expecting. Zero narrowed his eyes in on X and smiled, offering an unreadable expression; the only thing X could decipher from it was amusement as he spoke.

“Hmm, how cute”.

 

X waited a moment, watching Zero get up, taking his hand when offered.

“Let's head back”.

He nodded, letting Zero lead him. His face still burning red after spilling his one secret out like that. And Zero had neither accepted or rejected his confession. And he was left dizzy in confusion. Zero didn't seem angry…and it wasn't like he'd ever been forthcoming with emotions. X tried to make out the fact they'd currently been sleeping together Zero had to like him somewhat…right? He sighed, letting Zero lead the way again, questioning in his mind what was going to come of all this?

 

 

 

 

Once home Zero wasted no time in jumping on his intensions for that evening. Pulling X to kiss him again, leading him to the bedroom where he threw him down against the bed again. And when both stripped of clothes when he handed X the tube of lube, who blushed, not sure what Zero wanted him to do with it.

“It's for you, so you put it on”. X knew what he meant, and his face burned with colour as he did as he was told, placing some on his hands, running it over his partner's length. Zero seemed amused at how flustered X seemed over a simple task.

 

…Zero wanted him, so to him, that meant he felt something for him back.

 

Once he figured X had done enough he turned him around and pushed him down.

“W-wait!” X managed, only Zero wasn't amused at being stopped. Using what power he had, he managed to force Zero's hold off long enough to change positions. “I…I wanna do it like this again”. X shyly continued, laying on his back now, preferring the contact and ability to hold onto Zero throughout the act. Zero grunted a sigh, not in the mood to fight over how he'd take him, and moving to spread X's legs apart, allowing himself to push himself deeply inside. X moaned loudly to the sudden and overwhelming feeling he was presented with. The lube, he admitted, had at least made it easier on his insides, not hurting him as much. His body agreeing this time with Zero's powerful thrusts. He straddled himself tightly to him, holding on, bracing against the feelings consuming him, and the light pain, overridden by the immense pleasure intoxicating him.

 

Zero had said he belonged to him, tenacity was love…

 

…right?

 

Zero had to love him…

They wouldn't be doing this otherwise.

 

He loved Zero…he had to love him back…

 

The feeling of their bodies connect was love…

 

It was love

…

 

…Had to be…

 

 

 

“Z-Ze…ro…ahh..” he cried, moans breaking off into louder exclaims. “I…I…”

But being driven into so much skewered X's words, breaking his sentence apart, to the point they were just leaks of an incoherent meaning.

 

“Z-zero..!!” X embraced the feelings that only manifested within him, reaching his peak. “I…I lo…v…” Zero hit him in a way that left him hollering, but within his cry he finally slipped what he'd been failing so far at saying.

 

“Zero…Zero I…I love you! I love you!! Ahh…I love…you…ANHHH--!!”

 

X was left to cry out release, letting go of his grip to fall back against the mattress, gasping for breath. Zero finishing off inside of him again. Even though X's breathing had gone labored, Zero moved in, taking X into a deep kiss. He pulled back, X looked confused as he heard a dark snicker under his partner's breath who sneered to him. X's eyes widening to what he then had whispered to him.

 

“Oh, my little X…” X paused, confused at the dark amusement in Zero's voice who glared down to him with a leer…

 

“You keep saying that today, but really…am I actually meant to care?”

 

 

 

 

Tenacity is love right…

 

…Yet everything he knew suddenly was void of everything he thought love meant.

Author's Note: Horray for the happy couple? *PUNCH'D* okay, so this was obviously coming, but by no means does this mark the end of their `relationship'. Chapter eight has drama as a result of this, but Zero gets X to be subordinant again. Read on and find out what happens next!!
