Reaching out he gently ran a finger up the slope of Quatre’s back until he sighed softly and cracked his eyes open. The blond smiled up at him gently. He smiled back then touched his hair and glanced back at the dragon. He saw the acceptance in the boy’s big ocean blue eyes and felt the sudden rush of heat that always accompanied the acquiescence. He had been a very happy man the day his dragon lover had suggested they seduce the boy. She had been quite possessive over him up until that point. He had come to understand it had a lot to do with Quatre’s fey blood since that time. It seemed his fey blood gained him many privileges not afforded to the common man, something the raven haired boy understood all to well as he looked down into his bright face. He laid the scroll on the grass beside Duo then slipped his arms under the blond, being careful not to wake the others. He wasn’t quiet as unashamed as they were and liked his privacy for the most part. Hell, none of them really knew the elf all that well. He glanced back at the three boys still in the pile and amended that thought. He didn’t know the elf that well. They seemed to have grown quite close over the span of the night. Quatre was nibbling at his ear before he rounded the dark green mound that was his dragon lover. She laid herself on the edge of the camp obviously content to allow her lover his little indulgence on his own. He kissed the blond as he laid him back against her body. Contrary to what most people thought she was quite warm and soft, her scales being more leathery on her underbelly where Wufei was currently pressing himself against the slight blond boy. Quatre responded vigorously. It didn’t take long before they were caught up in the heat they’d created. The activity excited the dragon even if she had chosen not to transform and join them. She breathed deep and washed them with the warm breath from her inner fires. Wufei felt the familiar touch of her tongue, hot and strong as it slipped up his glistening back and invaded their union. She wrapped them gently, feeling their bodies move until they crested and lay heaving against her belly. Wufei swallowed hard. He loved it when she did that. It took a moment for him to catch his breath enough to kiss the blond boy again. That’s when he first noticed the scent of fried ham and froze. He looked up at his dragon lover to find her grinning at him then she rolled her eyes and tried to look anywhere but into his. Quatre could have sworn he heard her whistling nonchalantly. Wufei peered over the top of her body to find Trowa sitting next to the revitalized fire with a slab of ham on a skewer frying it in the flames. “Good morning” the elf grinned. “Breakfast?” Wufei slipped back down behind Nataku’s body while Quatre giggled and he chuckled as he extracted himself. He joined Trowa at the fire once he had righted himself. Quatre hadn’t bothered, leaving his clothes loose and flowing about him as he greeted the green eyed elf good morning. Trowa had returned his affection happily then slapped his ass and sent him to wake up Duo and Hiiro. That turned out to be a mistake and they ended up eating breakfast alone. It gave Wufei and Trowa a little time to get acquainted, however. The raven haired boy was feeling pretty good about the blond’s new home by the time the others joined them for lunch. “We should hunt,” Duo said, popping a bit of leftover ham in his mouth. “I’m starving.” “It’s no wonder,” Wufei chuckled, dodging the playful slap at his head. Hiiro slid up behind the braided boy and pulled him tight against him as he bent to chew on his neck and Duo sighed. Wufei rolled his eyes. “You’re as bad as the nymph,” he chided the blue eyed boy. Hiiro lifted his head and looked at the smiling blond with a raised brow and Quatre brightened and jumped up heading for him full steam. “Sit,” Trowa ordered. Quatre pouted and Hiiro laughed. “You need to eat something and rest,” the elf explained. “Much more and I’ll have to lock you away for a week.” Duo knew it to be true and nodded knowingly. “Yes,” he agreed. “You’ll need your wits about you tomorrow night.” “Nothing could distract me tomorrow night,” the blond grumbled, leaning against Nataku and offering her tid bits. “Fine,” Duo smiled. “But today we hunt,” he said as a shimmering, silver blade suddenly appeared in his hand and ended up firmly stuck in the trunk of a nearby tree as they all grinned at each other. ** It was quiet in the glen, peaceful and serene when the huge buck crashed through the underbrush. Its large, dark eyes rolled as they spied another of the boys on its left flank as it careened to the right and took off down the shallow stream. Quatre continued on his path knowing that Hiiro would soon turn the beast back his way. There was a thrill to the chase that was exhilarating; none of the boys really wanted it to be a quick kill. The beast would go out in a blaze of glory and they would expel some pent up energy. It had been a good idea. As expected the stag was soon in sight again. Another hundred yards and he would be in position for Duo to take him down. He saw a shadow off to the right; Trowa was bringing up the rear. It couldn’t escape that way. The elf would put an arrow in its heart. It had no choice by to follow the stream. A great shadow suddenly passed over head. Nataku and Wufei were keeping track of the beast from the air. Everything was set. Duo waited, his bow held at the ready, any moment now. Suddenly the stag burst from the brush leaping high over the small fall of the stream. The prince raised his bow and ... gasped as the dragon snatched the stag out of the air and flew off with it. “Hey!” he shouted after the demon. “That’s our dinner!” Quatre came splashing through the water and stopped, watching as the dragon’s form grew smaller in the sky. They heard Trowa chuckling as he sauntered up to join them. “Dragons gotta eat, I guess,” the elf chortled. Duo looked up to see Hiiro standing on the rise where the small fall began, gazing down at them. ** Hiiro threw another branch on the fire and checked to see if the rabbit was done. He didn’t really care for rabbit and glared at the satisfied grin on the dragon’s face as she watched him. The sun was setting fast. They had decided to camp in the woods again to keep anyone from finding out about the elf and nymph’s presence. Duo had sent word to the palace that they were to be ready for battle. If things went bad they needed to be prepared. On the brighter side he was very much enjoying the present company. Save for one over stuffed dragon that is. They ate their meager dinner and relaxed while Quatre favored them with a dance. Trowa had played the flute and they all enjoyed an evening of comfortable companionship. Quatre was lying in the grass with his head on Trowa’s leg when the elf suddenly decided to pull him into his lap and start kissing him. Things had been pretty quiet up until that point so it was quite unexpected. Duo and Hiiro paused in their quiet conversation to contemplate the development. Wufei was lounging against Nataku’s huge head as they dozed next to the fire. The kissing went on for several minutes before the blond pulled away and whispered, “I’ll be fine.” Trowa kissed his forehead and pulled him close. None of them were really as happy about the plan as they were letting on. It was dangerous to say the least but it was their best chance. Quatre had certain advantages during the turning of the moon that would aid him in his escape. They’d just have to trust him and if things went wrong, they’d just take him back, army or no army. Trowa slipped his fingers into the back of his hair, pulled him back and kissed him again. The others could see where this was going already. It didn’t bother the prince and his lover but Wufei had opened his eyes and seemed a bit uneasy. He rose after a minute and led Nataku out into the forest, leaving the other boys alone. Duo snuggled up to Hiiro’s warmth as they lay back and got comfortable. They sat and watched as the elf took his lover slow and easy for a long while. It reminded Hiiro of the time with Duo in the bath. The tenderness between the two was breathtakingly beautiful. By the time it was over Duo was very glade he had given the blond over to the green-eyed elf because he obviously loved him very much. The sight of the two lying sated in the grass brought a smile to Hiiro’s lips as well. Truth be told the elf was as beautiful as the nymph. The fey scene slipped into his memory solidifying the dream he had found himself a part of. He watched as Trowa brushed his fingertips along the blond’s forehead, gently stroking his pale skin as he gazed upon his fluent features. He listened as Quatre sighed happily and silently swore nothing would ever come between any of them. Soft cerulean eyes glided over to capture his gaze, so lovely in the firelight. Trowa let his long fingers slip down his round cheek, caressing his skin as he gazed into Hiiro’s dark blue eyes. It was an invitation. The exotic boy could feel their gaze tugging at him as if they were a physical force. Quatre slipped his pink tongue from between his lips and wet them and it was more than the he could resist. He slipped from the warmth of his lover’s body and crawled over to where the blond boy awaited him. Trowa smiled softly as Hiiro came to hover over Quatre, watching as he leaned down to claim his lips. Hiiro found he liked it when the elf watched them together. It made him feel his affection for the blond was accepted, even appreciated. He laid down his weight on the boy and felt him once again give himself completely to the union. No matter how many times he had had the blond it never ceased to amaze him how giving he was. He could understand why men had spent their lives in search of a second encounter with a nymph. If this is what it was like to have a half breed the real thing must’ve been mind blowing to say the least. Trowa pulled himself up close and shared kisses with him as he moved them further into the fog. Quatre looked so beautiful in the firelight, his skin shimmering with a light sheen of sweat as Hiiro worked to please him. He wasn’t sure how long it went on before he felt the gentle touch of Duo’s hand on his back but the sensation sent a shiver through him. There was a place in his heart that only the prince could touch and it began to vibrate with anticipation as the braided boy brushed his body along his back. The prince kissed his neck and coaxed his lips around for a long union. Trowa made sure Quatre didn’t feel left out and kept his mouth busy while the other two re-familiarized themselves. Duo had laid his weight on Hiiro’s back and was moving his hips in unison with him. It was almost as if they were both taking the blond at the same time. Hiiro felt the heat in his body reach an almost painful degree. He needed to dispel it but he wasn’t ready to give into the apex yet. He felt himself shudder again as Duo pressed himself into his back. Gods he needed … something.. what? He heard himself plead “Duo,” a hoarse whisper, begging for something he wasn’t sure of. The prince growled low in his throat and pushed his hips harder into him. Suddenly Hiiro had an idea of what it was he wanted him to do and why he was hesitant to do it. He suddenly didn’t care anymore, he needed this. He pushed his hips back into the prince causing another low growl to emanate in his chest before he adjusted and slowly pushed inside Hiiro’s body. The feeling was nothing even close to what the blue eyed boy had ever experienced before. All the bad memories melted away as Duo shared this with him. Such fire, pain and passion all rolled up into one simple act. He cracked his eyes open and saw that Quatre was looking up at him wide eyed. The significance of the moment had not been lost to him. Even Trowa seemed to understand and offered him a simple kiss. Soon Duo had taken over the rhythm and set them all adrift on a cloud in the night sky. Hiiro never wanted it to stop. To be taking from the blond and giving to the prince all as one was testing his ability to remain sane. It felt so damn good. It was nothing like he remembered. No wonder they liked it so much. Duo was in heaven. It wasn’t so much that he preferred things this way. It was the fact that Hiiro was showing him that he trusted him. That he had finally forgiven himself and let the nightmares of his past fade away. He felt new hope for their future with every movement they shared. All too soon they reached the summit and cast themselves off in a blinding, white light that swallowed them whole for a time. Trowa was there when they awoke from the dream, smiling at them with that little grin Duo had decided was affection. He kissed Hiiro first. A sign that he truly understood what had just happened. Then he reclaimed his lover’s lips as they all settled down in a comfortable heap together. Hiiro was getting kind of fond of this ’dog pile‘ sleeping arrangement. It was warm and comfortable. He was going to miss it when they went home. Not that he minded having Duo all to himself but this was pretty nice really. They awoke to the smell of coffee. Wufei had returned and was setting the pot on the fire as they untangled themselves and stretched to greet the dawn. “You four truly are a sight,” the raven haired boy grinned. “You’re welcome to join us anytime you like,” the prince reminded him. Nataku’s head popped up, short flames blowing from her nostrils as she glared at the braided youth. “Or not,” Duo amended. Wufei chuckled. “I’ve informed Rashid of our plan,” he told them. “He insisted on being present of course.” “Of course,” Quatre beamed. “They’ll meet us on the road up the mountain at sunset,” the raven haired boy went on. “How many?” Duo asked, pouring himself a cup of coffee. “Fifteen men plus Rashid and his captains,” Wufei replied, grinning at the prince. Duo took a long draw from his cup then spit it halfway across the camp. “Ahgg! What in the hell is this?” he exclaimed. Nataku was just about to bust a gut as she rolled around in the trees laughing her scales off. Wufei was laughing as well. “That’s for Nataku,” he said breathlessly. “Give it to Nataku.” “Eyeak,” the prince gagged, pouring the stuff back in the pot. “What is that stuff?” “Dragon mash,” Wufei replied. “Do I want to know what’s in it?” “No.” Duo rolled his eyes and went to fetch a water skin so he could rinse his mouth out. They ended up with a breakfast of leftover rabbit and bread then prepared for the journey up the mountain to the fall pass. Wufei was wetting down the fire when Nataku nudged him playfully with her nose, nearly knocking him into the smoldering ash. He grumbled and pushed her away, continuing with his work. He stood up and went to return the mug he had used to its place in Hiiro’s saddle bag only to have it nipped away by a nimbly dexterous forked tongue. The others all chuckled at their antics and Wufei’s red face and pulsing veins as he tried to reclaim the cup only served to add to the merriment. He lunged one last time only to have the cup sail over his head. Running to catch it brought him to a screeching halt as it was intercepted by an unsuspecting blond whose eyes went wide with shock as he just managed not to bowl him over. He looked at him breathlessly from his romp with the dragon and Quatre’s face was as brilliant as the sun itself. This was not a day to be caught in the boy’s gaze and expect to be free of him quickly. The moon was rounding the Earth’s belly. It was at this time of the month that he was closest to his fey brethren. He already looked less human than the night before. The raven haired boy suddenly found himself pushed forward into the boy as Nataku nudged him again with her nose. He couldn’t help stealing a kiss while he was in his arms but soon turned back to scowl at the smirking dragon. She looked at him expectantly and he finally started to understand. Turning back to the blond boy in his arms he opened his mouth to speak but found he was too late. “Take me flying?” Quatre asked brightly. He shut his mouth and looked at the boy for a moment as something glittered deep in his dark eyes then turned to the others to see what they thought. “He’ll be safest in the air,” Trowa said, tightening his saddle straps. “You can rejoin us at the base of the pass,” Duo agreed. “If we left now we’d be there six hours before you,” the raven haired boy pointed out. “I’m sure we can think of something to do up there to pass the time,” Quatre cooed silkily. Wufei’s left brow went up as he thought that over then he suddenly tossed the boy over his shoulder and jumped up on Nataku’s back. The others chuckled at them as the dragon grinned and prepared for take off. “Meet us an hour before sunset,” Duo called. “And don’t over indulge him! We need him sane!” he shouted over the whirlwind of the dragon’s wings. “Till then,” Wufei grinned as they rose into the air. They could still hear Quatre’s bright laugher as they disappeared over the tree tops. Trowa stared after them for a long time. “Take heart my friend,” Duo told the elf, laying a hand on his shoulder. “There are many who love him just as you do. We won’t let any harm befall him.” “I wouldn’t know how to live without him now,” the elf confessed. Hiiro slipped in behind Duo and rested his hands on his hips. “We’ll make sure you don’t have to learn,” he promised. His heart still ached with the memory of Duo’s brush with death. He couldn’t stand the thought of any of them loosing the blond boy, least of all Trowa. The ride to and up the mountain took most of the day. Hiiro had never seen the great fall before. It was spectacular but the sight of the two hundred foot fall of water brought a stab of fear to his heart. Quatre intended on riding that to the lake below? He would be smashed on the rocks for sure. They dismounted at the base of the pass to rest and wait for their companions to arrive. Wufei delivered the blond right on schedule though Hiiro barely recognized him. He was positively radiant, as beautiful as the falls themselves in the late afternoon sun. There was a vibrancy about him always but this night it proved to go far beyond his usual thrum. It was all the exotic boy could do to keep himself from dragging him off into the woods and showing him just how beautiful he was so he could easily understand the silly contentment on Wufei’s face. Duo walked straight up to him and kissed him hard. “You enjoyed your flight,” he said when he had pulled away. “Mm,” Quatre confirmed. “The sky is a beautiful place.” His eyes darted to where Trowa stood watching with that little grin on his face then he darted over and jumped in his arms. Hiiro touched Duo’s arm still a bit in awe of the change in their blond friend. “What’s happening to him?” he asked softly as Trowa continued to kiss the boy. “Once a month on the turning of the new moon he is drawn by his fey blood,” Duo explained. “Barton will have a hard time containing him tonight.” “He’s breathtaking,” Hiiro said softly still watching the couple as they reacquainted themselves. “The moon is on the rise,” the braided boy replied. “We have work to do,” he reminded them and they all turned to their tasks. It wasn’t easy to concentrate, however. Quatre was so distracting just by his presence alone they were all having a hard time keeping their minds on what they were doing. The further the sun set the more fluid the boy seemed to become until he moved about them like a stray stream that had somehow gotten caught on the breeze. Duo hissed again as he brushed by him. “Quatre, please,” he ground out from between his teeth as he clenched his eyes shut. “Pllleeasse what?” the boy gurgled in his ear, playing with the strings that hung from the back of his vest like a spring shower. Duo breathed deep again and prayed for patience… and control. “Be still,” Trowa soothed, brushing his knuckles down the blond’s face and drawing him away. Quatre sighed into the touch and followed. “Tell me they’ll be staying the night once this is done,” Hiiro whispered to the prince. Quatre was making his skin tingle just being near him. Duo smiled. “We’re ready,” he informed
Wufei where he sat on Nataku’s back. The dark eyed boy nodded
and took off into the fading light.
