‘Are you alright?’ he asked after scurrying down the hill after him. ‘Damn it,’ Duo ground out as his shoulders slumped and shook slightly. ‘Hey… come on,’ Hiiro smiled looking at how ridiculous he looked sitting there in the puddle like a drenched toad but the humor faded instantly when he realized that Duo was... was he… crying? ‘Duo?’ he breathed splashing into the puddle with him. Serf’s cried? He knew they were created to mimic emotion but crying? No... no no no no no… not crying...not here… not Duo… shit… ‘Come on,’ he said again hauling him out of the shallow muck. Duo collapsed into his arms the moment he was on his feet and began to sob opening. ‘I’m s…sorry... I... didn’t know.. I didn’t think it’d be like this,’ he told him as Hiiro stood there holding him, his eyes round with fearful curiosity as he pondered what in the world he was supposed to do now?!?! ‘I g... guess I’m... n...not really cut out for the... j...jungle, huh?’ Duo stammered half from the high emotions and half from the fact that he was soaking wet. ‘You’re doing fine,’ Hiiro said supportively though he was kind of wishing he hadn’t brought him at this point. ‘D...damn it... I’m s …sorry... I’ll do better... I promise,’ Duo wept letting him lead him out of the sludge and onto dry ground where he sat him down and draped his jacket over his trembling shoulders. He looked so wore and fragile all of a sudden with scratches on his cheek and everything from leaves and sticks to the dead bodies of small insects in his tattered braid. ‘Shit,’ the Japanese boy cursed himself. ‘Come on,’ he insisted dragging him back up the embankment where he sat him down on one of the bags, wrapped him up in a blanket from his pack and told him to rest while he went and scouted them a camp site for the night. He couldn’t believe he’d been so careless. How could he have been so blind to Duo’s needs? He wasn’t human but that didn’t mean he didn’t have his limits. He felt like such a fool for not having noticed his companion’s plight. Anyone else, a human, would have been grousing and complaining long ago and although he would have found it aggravating at least he would have made accommodations for them but Duo had said nothing and even sat there in that puddle weeping and blaming himself for his weakness instead of putting the blame where it really belonged, on Hiiro and his insensitive ways. No wonder no one wanted to work with him, he was a total cad! When he returned Duo had fallen asleep. He lay with his head pillowed exhaustedly on one of the bags and his blanket pulled tightly around him. He looked like a lost child, so innocent and beautiful it was almost a shame to wake him but he was determined to get him cleaned up and feeling well again. ‘Duo?’ he said softly brushing the boy’s tangled bangs back from his peacefully slumbering face. Duo smiled softly at the sound of his voice and nuzzled into the warmth of his hand just as if they were back in his apartment and Hiiro hadn’t been cruel and uncompassionate toward him. ‘Wake up,’ he told him shaking his shoulder gently, his eyes widening slightly when Duo’s arms suddenly slipped around his neck and pulled him down into a loose embrace. How could he want to hold him after what he’d done? ‘Duo.’ ‘Hmmmm,’ the boy sighed tugging him a little closer. ‘Come on… you need to getumm….mm….’……………………………………damn…… There was certainly no ill content in his kiss. For all the sins he felt he’d committed against the boy that day his kiss was just as sweet and pure as the first. If it hadn’t been for the damp clothes and muddy smell of the puddle in his hair he might not have been able to pull away. As it was he did bring things to a halt before they could get carried away. ‘Lets get you cleaned up,’ he told him helping him to his feet. Why was he smiling at him like that? He should be furious shouldn’t he? He wondered as he led him to the small clearing by a little stream he’d found if this was part of the Serf protocol. We’re they even capable of showing anger toward their masters? ‘I’m sorry about this,’ he told him turning his back while he stripped off his muddy clothes. He really didn’t feel that he deserved the pleasure of looking at him just then. ‘Why would you be sorry?’ Duo asked letting the soggy shirt slop to the ground. ‘It’s not your fault I’m inadequate,’ he told him. ‘Don’t say that!’ Hiiro growled whirling on him just as the pants hit the ground. He quickly turned back around and swallowed his heart but not before the shocked expression in Duo’s eyes registered. ‘Don’t ever say something like that again,’ he went on more calmly but still in a firm tone. ‘You are not inadequate... I should have taken more notice of you,’ he added softly sounding very sorry indeed. ‘Then it’s your fault?’ Duo asked in a genuinely perplexed way. ‘Yes,’ Hiiro confirmed sounding even more depressed. ‘Then come wash it away,’ the longhaired boy told him as he heard the splash of him entering the stream. When he turned back around he wasn’t quiet all the way in yet, he’d stopped where the water just brushed the curve of his ass. He was facing away, his braid floating along behind him as he gazed back over his shoulder and smiled invitingly. Yeah… well… it was the least he could do... right? Yeah… wash it off. The water was warmer than he expected, or maybe it was being so close to Duo’s naked body that was keeping him toasty. He took his time and washed him thoroughly unraveling his hair and washing it twice. He was glad he’d picked up the bottles of cream rinse at the air port; they made it much easier to get all the brambles out of the thick, silken mass. It had taken over an hour just to do his hair but Hiiro really hadn’t noticed the time pass. He found it very relaxing to pamper the longhaired boy like this and Duo’s content expression brought peace to his own heart. He’d never cared for anything like this, not even a pet. Of course, Duo wasn’t exactly a puppy but with that expression he was damn cute. So pretty, so happy, so obedient… so… receptive. ‘Mmmm,’ Duo moaned softly waking him from the little day dream he’d been having to find the boy nested comfortably in his lap. When had he pulled him close? When had he started nibbling on his neck and exactly how in the hell did his arms get wrapped around his waist with his hands stroking his inner thighs? Duo groaned softly again, his hips pushing forward just slightly silently begging to be touched in a more intimate way and snapping Hiiro’s resistance like a dry twig. ‘Ah!’ Duo gasped as his hand slipped suddenly up holding him firmly, working him as he delved deeper into the sensuality of the violet eyed Serf. Gods, he was so hot! It was just unbelievable the kind of desires he inspired in Hiiro with nothing more than the sound of his pleasure, the rapturous rotations of his hips and slightly undulating body as he lay in his arms pouring out all the pleasure Hiiro could possibly draw from him. His kisses were wet and sticky, his breath deep, his fingers digging into the flesh of Hiiro’s knees as the Japanese boy had pushed Duo’s legs open until they dangled on the outside of his own spreading him wide so he could assess not only his manhood but the one part of his anatomy that now haunted the Japanese boy’s darkest dreams. ‘Ah! Gods, yes!’ Duo hissed arching back into him as he used his hands to explore the inside of his body. ‘You like that?’ the Japanese boy breathed feeling tremendously turned on by his reaction. ‘YES!’ Duo growled all but loosing his composure completely. ‘Are you configured for male interaction?’ ‘W… what?’ Duo gasped. ‘Is this part of your protocol?’ Hiiro knew he’d fucked up the moment the words fell and Duo suddenly pulled away from him swimming out into the shallow water without looking back. SHIT! What kind of question was that right in the middle of it?! STUPID! Gods! He just wanted to rip all his hair out and shove it down his throat and chock himself on it! DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB! He couldn’t even bring himself to speak to him after such an idiotic malfunction on his part so he ended up just getting out and going to finish setting up camp. He’d pitched the tent, gathered wood, started a fire and was halfway through heating their dinner before Duo finally came out of the stream. He was naked, shivering and had red rimmed eyes as if he’d been crying and Hiiro really wished he’d have just choked on that foot he’d shoved in his mouth earlier. ‘Here,’ he said rushing to get him a blanket. He’d washed out his new clothes and set out his old ones but it was clear they needed to get the boy warmed up before they worried about dressing him. ‘I’m sorry,’ Duo said in a tiny little voice laying his head on Hiiro’s chest as he slipped the blanket around his shoulders. ‘Nooo,’ Hiiro soothed turning his chin up ‘That was a horribly stupid thing for me to say,’ he admitted. ‘I told you I suck at the socialization thing,’ he smiled warmly. He really just couldn’t believe he wasn’t furious with him. Had he realized he’d been in there blaming himself all this time he’d have jerked him out of there long ago. ‘Yeah, well,’ Duo sniffed shivering slightly ‘I just... didn’t understand,’ he told him. ‘It’s like I’m... disappointing you somehow,’ he sighed burrowing into his chest again. Gods, he didn’t know how to respond to him without it sounding like he was just blurting empty contradictions. How could he make him understand? There was one thing he thought perhaps he’d be able to comprehend. ‘I need your help,’ he told him instantly sparking his interest. Yes, he had it figured right after all. Whether it was a programmed or inbred response or a natural feeling it was becoming more and more obvious that Duo was in love. It was the only explanation for his selflessness and need to please. ‘I told you before,’ he said guiding him to sit by the fire. ‘I’m not very good with social skills. So... I need you to help me learn how to interact,’ he smiled at the light coming back to Duo’s beautiful eyes. ‘Then maybe,’ he grinned brushing the wet bangs from his face, ‘I wont have to feel so bad about doing such stupid things like I have today,’ he finished loving the way the boy’s expression had shifted. ‘You really want my help?’ Duo asked. ‘Yes.’ ‘The bath was wonderful,’ the braided boy praised. ‘Thanks,’ Hiiro chuckled. ‘If you’d just always relax and enjoy yourself like that without analyzing it... you wouldn’t need to ask for my help.’ Damn. Was it really that easy? He really couldn’t see it but he decided that since he’d asked for the help he wasn’t about to just dismiss it without consideration. He’d been inconsiderate enough already so he tucked it away and offered his companion a grateful smile. ‘Do you think you could sleep?’ he asked. ‘We have to be up by two a.m. so we should try to nap for a bit.’ ‘Nooo problem,’ Duo groaned stretching his back out. Hiiro had half expected him to sleep in the bag he’d laid out for him but not Duo, no. He came right over and slipped into Hiiro’s with him snuggling happily as if they’d just had the most romantic, pleasant day of their lives. Hiiro had heard of homes and rehab centers where people who had become obsessed with their Serf’s were treated but he hadn’t understood until now just how easy that psychosis could be. He couldn’t help but wonder as he drifted off with Duo cuddled in his arms if love was still love even if it was a programmed response. Would Duo feel the same way toward any master that took him in? The thought disturbed him way more than he cared to think about at that moment so he shoved it away in favor of the delicious fantasies that now blanketed his dreams in sweet heat. ‘Hiiro… listen.’ ‘Hmmmmmmm.’ What a nice feeling. So warm and soft and compliant... wasn’t he usually compliant? Why was he pulling away? ‘Hiiro.’ ‘What’s the matter?’ he asked groggily knowing it was a little early for their wake up call. ‘Listen,’ Duo told him again being absolutely still but other than the usual night sounds and Duo’s even breath he heard nothing. It was a little hard to concentrate with him lying on top of him. ‘I don’t hear it,’ he whispered after a moment giving into the urge to slip his hands down Duo’s back as he nuzzled his ear. ‘Mmm… it sounded… ah…’ the longhaired boy hissed as Hiiro’s hands slipped down the back of his pants and pulled him tight against his swollen groin. ‘Sssss….H...Hiiro?’ Fuck it. Duo gasped as the Japanese boy rolled them over pinning him to the ground as he forced his hips between his legs and pressed himself into his warm, trembling body. Duo responded immediately thrusting his hips upward as he devoured him with kiss after desperate kiss. Hiiro wanted him, all of him, now. He wasted no time accessing the necessary recesses that would grant his wishes popping the boy’s jeans open and pushing inside to find that Duo was just as excited about this prospect as he was. There were no thoughts as to how different he felt in his palm, just a deep, base appreciation of the fact that it felt so damn good to hold him. Duo groaned sinking his fingers into his shoulders, pulling him closer, kissing him deeply as he thrust his hips into the delicious sensations Hiiro was lavishing on his slight body. Gods, he was so... damn... hot. Rummmm It was distant but unmistakable. Even knowing the danger Hiiro found it incredibly hard to pull himself away from Duo’s writhing form. He was so lost in the passionate heat already he apparently hadn’t heard the noise. Hiiro felt like a real shit heal having to stop again but this couldn’t wait. ‘W...what?’ Duo gasped feeling him retreat, the frustrated longing in his tone bringing a smile to Hiiro’s lips. It was really nice to be wanted. ‘We have a problem,’ Hiiro replied trying not to sound too alarmed. Honestly, it should be alright but they might need to move camp. ‘What is it?’ Duo asked abandoning his attempts to drag his partner back down into the heat. ‘Not sure yet… come on... let’s have a look,’ he told him helping him to his feet. The sound grew louder as they made their way though the underbrush. It was very dark with little starlight making its way through the dense tree tops above but Hiiro refused to light a torch. He also kept a tight hold on Duo’s hand until finally he stopped and crouched down beside a bush pushing the branches aside so they could peer through. ‘Oh no,’ Duo sighed seeing the backhoe take a huge bite out of the hillside and dump the pile of up heaved dirt to the side. ‘What’re they doing?’ he asked feeling a great loss at the sight of the destruction of such a wonderfully beautiful place. ‘Who knows,’ Hiiro replied. ‘Mining, digging for artifacts... we’ll have to move further south,’ he told him not wanting to be discovered by the men who were running the big equipment. It really didn’t do to be caught in the middle of the jungle, especially if these men were up to no good. ‘Let’s go,’ he said leading Duo back into the jungle. It took a while to pack up their little camp before they headed out in search of safer grounds. Duo seemed to have gotten the hang of navigating the brambles a little better even though Hiiro still refused to light a torch to guide them. Luckily the trees thinned somewhat to the south making travel much easier and letting in more of the sparkling star light that seemed destined to play in Duo’s long hair making it twinkle softly as it swung to and fro. Hiiro found himself quiet captivated by it as they traversed the jungle wilds until Duo suddenly stopped and pointed skyward. ‘Hey,’ he said smiling wondrously. ‘Isn’t that one of those flowers your supposed to photograph?’ he asked. Shit. He’d completely forgotten about the assignment in his effort to make sure Duo was safe. Truly, the blooms he’d come to capture on film should be in their full glory about then and sure enough, Duo’s keen eye sight had indeed spotted one from the forest floor. ‘Yes,’ the Japanese boy replied chuckling at his own flighty behavior. This was so totally not like him. He was a real stickler for details on any normal day but then, his days up till then hadn’t included the devastatingly distracting presence of his new Serf. ‘We should be ok here,’ he told him setting his pack down and digging in his bag for a suitable camera. ‘Can you climb?’ he asked skeptically thinking back on how hard just walking through the underbrush had been for his partner. ‘I need you to hold this light,’ he explained when Duo turned his eyes thoughtfully up towards the huge, golden bloom nestled in the tree. ‘Sure,’ the longhaired boy replied taking the light and hooking it to his belt loop. Hiiro didn’t have a chance to say anything else as he watched the boy suddenly and with a grace he could never have foreseen scramble up the tree. ‘Is this alright?’ Duo asked perching himself above on a broad limb. Hiiro couldn’t help but grin; he looked so much like a jungle cat lazing on a branch he ended up taking several pictures of him before turning his lens on the subject of their journey. They spent about an hour in that tree changing lens and lighting for different effects. It was really nice to have someone along that not only understood the basics of photography but Duo also seemed to have a talent for knowing just where to hold the light and made some very good suggestions during the shoot. He couldn’t help wanting more pictures of Duo though, the thought of starting a scrap book of his beautiful partner appealing to him on a very primal level. ‘Let’s get some more of you,’ he said loading a fresh roll of film into his favorite camera. ‘Wait,’ Duo grinned seeming excited at the prospect. Hiiro just about fell off his branch when the boy suddenly ripped his shirt open draping it down his back, the ebony fabric making his skin look ghostly white in the dark as he crawled up over the bloom cradling it beneath him as if he were a protective parent. ‘How’s this?’ he asked turning softly glowering violet eyes on his would be lover. Hiiro swallowed… hard... and did his best not to let the tightening of his jeans cause him to loose his focus as he emptied his camera in less than five minutes. It had been a good night. He got some really good shots of the bloom and some mind blowing ones of Duo that he expected would be a very good source of material for later obsessions but right now he was a little anxious to find another camp site so they could go to bed. It would be dawn soon and since they were to sleep in the day for the most part it was essential to find a shady spot that wouldn’t grow to hot. He found one in the lea of a stone near a small cliff that over looked a stream not too far down the way. It was shaded and cool and had the benefit of the stone that would hold some of the night’s coolness in its belly but it was getting more and more difficult to think about anything but how Duo had felt laying beneath him the night before. He really wanted to feel that again but without the blanket of passion that had stolen away his nasty little habit of analyzing everything he was thinking too much again. Would Duo do that with anyone that held his ownership papers? He waited until there was nothing else to do but lie down and sleep before he decided to breech the subject. Reading that owners manual seemed like it would’ve been a pretty good idea just about then but it was back in his apartment in Dallie. Brilliant. ‘Duo?’ ‘Hm?’ he hummed as he finished preparing their sleeping bag. ‘I’m sorry about what I said before,’ he told him making him pause and look at him curiously. ‘In the stream,’ he clarified. ‘I just really don’t know what I’m doing,’ he confessed. ‘What’s there to know?’ Duo smiled turning to slink down into the folds of the bag beneath him. ‘Can you…’ Gods, he didn’t know how else to ask but to just ask it straight up, ‘… love me?’ ‘Of course I love you,’ Duo chuckled rising again to wrap his arms around Hiiro’s neck but all he felt with the words was a sad sort of disappointment. Had he not understood the depth of their meaning? How could he answer so carelessly? ‘Duo...’ ‘Why do you think so much?’ the braided boy asked tenderly nipping at his chin and jaw. ‘What’s so wrong with just… closing your eyes,’ he said raking his thumbs gently over Hiiro’s eyes to close them, ‘and letting your feelings guide you?’ he breathed laying his lips against Hiiro’s already open mouth. Damn... he really had a very good point there. It felt good, real good. So good in fact that he quickly lost the ability to think clearly and quiet frankly he really didn’t give a damn what that little voice in the back of his mind had to say anymore. He tossed a quick gag on it and dove into the heat of the beautiful boy in his arms head first. He was immersed in a sea of pure erotic pleasure the moment his mind surrendered to his bodies need. Just knowing that this was happening, he was really there with this beautiful creature running his hand down his side, his skin so cool to the touch. The heat of his body bubbling just underneath as he tasted lips so sweetly compliant it made his blood boil and his spine ache for more. He wanted to move with him, feel the sumptuous complexity dancing beneath him, above him, beside him... within him. By the time they came up for air the noon time hour had long since passed and he’d learned more about the male anatomy than he’d ever dreamed possible. It seemed like Duo had more erogenous zones than the entire continent of South America. He reveled in the fact that it was so terribly easy to please him, each and every sumptuous sound and reaction causing an equally exciting reaction within himself. There was a perfect balance between them, Hiiro wanted nothing more than to be buried deep inside him for hours at a time and Duo seemed to want nothing more than to accommodate him. Any and all thoughts of whether this were real or not were non-existent by the time they found themselves too exhausted to continue any further without rest. All that mattered anymore as he pulled his new lover closer to his side, his chest so swollen with joy and happiness he felt as if it should split open and spill his engorged heart onto the ground, was that Duo was there, warm and alive and in his arms and he knew beyond the shadow of a doubt he was in head over heals, absolutely, unconditionally in love. He woke some hours later to find Duo lying on top of him moving gently as he kissed and nibbled around his chin and caller bone, his hips already sliding back and forth along his awakening desire. He smiled joining in with small rotations that made the braided boy moan softly as he slid his hands up his smooth thighs to his delectable hips and pushed him down tight as he raised his own. Duo groaned loudly and kissed him. He had to admit, he really liked the way he thought.
