"Taking Form "

Ch 5


Over the next two weeks the five boys spent a good deal of time getting to know each other. Each one, save Duo, had high hopes of retaining top spots at the academy in the coming year. The thought of leaving Duo behind while he attended school still weighed heavily on Hiiro’s mind but he had yet to come up with a viable solution. In the meantime, they spent their time swimming in the falls or riding Quatre’s Arabian’s all over the countryside. On one particular outing the mare Quatre had chosen suddenly decided she would rather graze than cart the boy around anymore but the blond ended up riding double with Trowa while they led the disobedient steed home so he wasn’t complaining.

Hiiro and Wufei had caught onto Quatre’s infatuation for their tall companion fairly quickly but then with Duo calling the shots it was kind of hard to miss. Soon after, it was not uncommon for Trowa to find himself alone with the slight blond boy; a fact that resulted in their solitude once again one stormy afternoon.

“We’d better find shelter!” Quatre called over the whistling wind. His mare was being quiet obedient today and stomped her feet under the darkening sky.

“Where to?” Trowa agreed. His own mount, a fiery-eyed dapple coated stallion, snorted his disapproval at being out in the open.

“Where are the others?” Quatre wondered searching the horizon.

“I don’t know. Maybe they already found somewhere to wait out the storm,” Trowa called back just as a streak of lightening lanced the summer sky. “We need to move!” he shouted above the rising din.

“This way!” Quatre conceded. “Hya!” he called spurring the mare into a full gallop with Trowa fast behind.

They didn’t slow down until they reached the edge of a small cliff where there was a small cave just big enough for the two horses and their riders. Quatre was on his feet before his mount ever came to a stop leading her inside the cave as he laughed and shook off the drenching rain.

“Isn’t the fall right around here?” Trowa inquired settling his own steed within the safety of the cave.

“On the other side of the hill,” the blond confirmed running a calming hand down his animal’s neck when a loud clap of thunder unnerved her. The cave grew quiet for a time until Quatre began to feel uneasy under the quiet stare of his companion and chuckled, “What?”

“Your soaked,” Trowa smirked.

“S..so?” Quatre stuttered through the chill that had begun to grip his bones. “So are you,” he grinned triumphantly.

“Maybe I could start a fire,” the taller boy offered.

“W...with what?” Quatre chortled emphasizing the lack of dry, combustible materials with a shake of his dripping bangs. Trowa’s silent response served to once again unnerve him and he found himself shivering ever harder in the damp coolness of their sanctuary. “I might have something in my pack,” he suggested turning away from the intensity of Trowa’s emerald eyes to start his search.

“Quatre.”

The shivering stopped the moment Trowa’s hand settled on his shoulder but it was instantly replaced by a much deeper trembling that had nothing to do with the rain.

“Y...yes?” His heart thumped into double time the moment he turned and found himself lost in an emerald sea.

“Quatre.”

“……….”

“That painting.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know why I wanted it so badly?” Trowa asked and Quatre shook his head dumbly because he had only half heard the words with him standing so close.

“It’s because…” Was he cold too? He was shaking almost as badly as Quatre but neither appeared to notice as Trowa slowly leaned in and ghosted a precious kiss over the smaller boy’s lips. The lightening and thunder outside was forgotten in that one moment in time as he drew back and saw the utter joy in Quatre’s cerulean eyes. That light was all he needed to see to bring him back for more only this time the two fully gave into their desire and wrapped tightly around each other while they shared a much deeper exchange.

“Trowa,” Quatre gasped feeling his knees go week but the arms that held him were strong and sure and refused to let him fall as he once again found himself drowning in passions embrace.

It took little more than a moment before Trowa’s will to refrain began to fray and Quatre’s feet to leave the stony floor of the cave. They stumbled back until the blonds back pressed against the wall, his legs wrapping firmly around the taller boys hips as he gripped him around the waist and cupped his ass. Their passion grew unbridled as the storm raged outside while Trowa pushed him past the point of acquiescence and Quatre began to plead for more.

“Damn,” Trowa hissed pressing his hips harder into the writhing boy before him as he moved to kiss his slender neck. “Gods, if we don’t stop right now…”

“Don’t stop,” Quatre begged pushing his hips forward as he claimed another deep kiss.

“Quatre,” Trowa groaned.

“Please,” the blond boy pleaded. “I’ve loved you for so long… please don’t stop.”

“Quatre.”

Quatre heard the surrender in his voice and felt the heat in his kiss and knew his world was about to change forever as Trowa’s hand slipped down his wet shirt and invaded the back of his pants. The cave suddenly lit brightly as lightening crashed and the mare reared and bolted but neither of them cared to notice as Quatre’s pants hit the floor. The little whimpering moans rising from the slight blond’s throat drove his taller partner to open his shirt and explore what other sounds and reactions his ministrations could glean. By the time he moved from chest to stomach Quatre was breathless and thrashing against the wall helplessly.

“Trowa!” he groaned sinking his fingers in his new lovers thick fall of auburn bangs as he took him into the heat of his mouth. Trowa was forced to lay a steadying hand on his chest to keep him from sliding down the wall to lie on the cold slab floor as he began to prepare him. He was like liquid gold moving slowly against the black wall of the cave and Trowa found himself hopelessly addicted to him. His sweet essence filled his senses wrapping a thick binding around his heart that demanded he complete the union and make him truly his own. His hands shook when he moved to take him. Their bodies coming into perfect tune as the boy’s ocean green eyes slowly slipped open entrapping him in their meridian heat.

The joining was one of spiritual ecstasy though neither had the stamina left for it to last long. The pure, unadulterated need in the smaller blond quickly pushed Trowa past the limits of his control, his own surrender calling forth Quatre’s culmination and suddenly they found themselves in a sweat drenched tangle on the stone floor trying desperately to catch their breath. The moment they had Trowa was kissing him again. A warm, languid motion that spoke of a much deeper desire than they had just experienced and Quatre returned it with the utmost sincerity.

“When?” the blond boy smiled.

“Forever,” Trowa replied nibbling his neck. “You’ve always been the brightest point in my universe.”

“Oh, Trowa,” Quatre breathed kissing him once again. “You’re a very eloquent speaker,” he smiled. “You should do it more often.”

“It’s easy,” Trowa smiled brushing his fingers gently down his lovers flushed cheek. “When the words are true,” he added before returning to the warmth of the lips that he had longed for.

“I’m telling you they hooked up,” Duo grinned.

“They probably slid down the hillside and got stuck in the mud,” Hiiro countered.

“Maybe we should go look for them,” Wufei suggested.

“Leave them to their mating games,” Duo laughed.

“What makes you so sure their even together?” Hiiro argued.

“I’ll lay you ten to one their a couple before they return,” Duo challenged.

“What’s the prize?”

“The winner can make one demand of the loser,” the longhaired boy suggested.

Hiiro’s brow shot up as a sly grin spread over his lips and Wufei just started laughing out loud. “Any demand?”

“Anything,” Duo grinned.

“You’re on.”

“Hey guys!” Duo suddenly called to the two boys riding in double on Trowa’s stallion. Quatre was nestled intimately in front of the taller boy who was in no way hiding his newly established affection for him.

“You cheated!” Hiiro gasped.

“Gonna renig?” Duo grinned.

“I… but you… You’re a demon,” Hiiro groaned while Wufei tried desperately to stop laughing.

“So basically you go out in the bushes and play war?” Duo grinned the week before the trials were to begin.

“Isn’t that how war is actually waged?” Wufei chuckled at the oddly simplistic description.

“Seems like a useless activity to me,” Duo shrugged.

“A country without a well trained military force would be defenseless,” Hiiro countered.

“I suppose,” Duo sighed. “You’re on the opposing team right Trowa?”

“My father is headmaster,” he explained brushing his fingers gently along Quatre’s shoulder where he had his arm wrapped comfortably around the smaller boy. “It is my duty to aid him in the testing of new recruits,” he grinned.

“So, if you guys can steal the flag you get in with honors?” Duo inquired.

“Something like that,” Hiiro chuckled.

“Can I play?” Duo purred slipping down into the couch beside the blue-eyed boy who suddenly flushed bright red and began to fidget in his seat.

“It’s not really a game,” he stammered nervously as Duo snuggled up beside him.

“But I want to help,” the longhaired boy cooed in his ear causing him to swallow almost as loudly as Wufei snickered.

“I could be expelled,” Hiiro hissed as his eyes slipped closed.

“Fine,” Duo huffed sitting back and ignoring the frustration that filled Hiiro’s face. “But you still owe me a request then.”

“I’m sorry, Duo,” Hiiro began but the violet-eyed boy silenced him with a small kiss and snuggled in beside him.

“I know,” he sighed and Wufei sniggered again at the dopey grin that blossomed on his messy haired friend’s lips.

Knock, knock.

“……………”

Creeeeeak

“Wh… Duo?” Hiiro called through squinted eyes and a throat dry from hours of sleep to the silent figure that had invaded his room. “What is it?” he asked concerned for his intended but Duo didn’t speak. He came, instead, to Hiiro’s bedside and kissed him gently and Hiiro suddenly forgot that there was anything strange about his presence at all.

“You owe me a request,” Duo whispered softly nibbling at his bottom lip.

“Any…,” Hiiro squeaked swallowing the growing excitement in this throat to try again. “Anything.”

“A bold offer,” Duo chuckled.

“Only as bold as your temptation,” Hiiro hissed trying very hard not to drag the beauteous boy down into the bed with him.

“On your feet then,” Duo demanded backing away.

“I’m… not dressed,” Hiiro blushed dragging the sheets with him as he sat up.

“Really?” Duo purred tugging at the softly glowering white clothe. Hiiro held it firm for a long moment as he tried to ascertain Duo’s intentions but released it under the boy’s steady violet gaze. A gaze than wandered slowly down his dimly lit body as the sheet puddled on the floor. “Come,” Duo smiled then laughed as Hiiro choked on his reply. The mirth was short lived when his voice took on a much more serious tone as he whispered, “Kneel.”

“Duo, what’s this…” Hiiro began but he obeyed both the spoken command and the unarticulated order for silence Duo’s finger on his lips insisted upon.

Hiiro sat on his heals instead of kneeling on his knees but this only seemed to please Duo in some way because he favored him with a gentle kiss that left him trembling inside before backing away. Hiiro found it very difficult to breath as the anticipation built up in his chest. Duo was the essence of beauty and grace standing there in his room. The soft starlight illuminated his silken robe as it danced along the warm highlights in his hair and sparkled in those endless eyes. The mere sight of him was enough to make him forget he was naked and kneeling before him. He felt his pulse quicken when Duo’s eyes flashed and his hands moved to release the tie around his waist. What was he doing? Was he about to offer himself to him right there in his room? Was it really all right? They had barely gotten past the kissing stage and as much a Hiiro wanted it he couldn’t bare the thought of messing things up between them. After all that Duo had been through. Was it really all right? He prayed it to be so as the robe slipped from Duo’s shoulders and the boy was suddenly standing bare before him.

There was no hiding the fact that he was aroused but the fact that Duo was also obviously excited laid to rest any ill conceived inhibitions. All he could think of was touching him; bringing him as much pleasure as he could possibly manage and watching as he touched the pillars of Heaven. That would be the pinnacle of his existence. He felt his heart leap at Duo’s quiet command.

“Touch me.”

Gods how he wanted to! He was right there. Ready and willing and Hiiro wanted nothing more than to run his hands all over his body but something in his eyes forbid it.

“Why are you asking me this?’ he asked.

“You said you love me,” Duo replied balling his hands into fists to hide the tremble in his body.

“I do,” Hiiro assured him. “And I want to but…”

“I want to know how it feels… to be touched by a hand that loves me.”

“Duo.” Hiiro’s hands did come forth then but it was to take Duo’s robe and wrap it around him as he stood and gathered him into his arms. “All you had to do was let me,” he whispered tightly as he held the trembling boy close.

“Isn’t this… what you wanted?” Duo breathed clinging tightly to him.

“This,” Hiiro hissed jerking him tighter yet, “is what I want. You. Just you. The rest will come in time. I just want you,” he told him over and over again as he rocked him gently in the dark.

It took some time before either of them settled enough to relax their fierce embrace and Hiiro was enchanted instantly by the embarrassed expression on Duo’s face when he pulled away.

“Hey,” he cooed softly brushing his cheek with his thumb. “It’s alright.”

“Kind of made a fool of myself didn’t I?” Duo chuckled.

“Never,” Hiiro grinned laying a gentle kiss on his forehead.

“Hiiro?”

“Hm?”

“Can I stay with you tonight?”

The smile Duo’s words drew on his face was answer enough and Hiiro kissed him gently once before he sat him on his bed and went to fetch something to sleep in. Duo was blushing prettily when he returned making him feel as light as a feather as he crawled in and cuddled the violet eyed boy up under his arm. It was lying in the first real contentment he had ever known in his life when he heard the strangest words he had ever thought to hear.

“You’re very beautiful,” Duo softly intoned. “I thought it was probably because of how you make me feel but … after tonight… it goes all the way down to your toes doesn’t it?”

Hiiro joined him in a hearty laugh that made the crimson blush on his cheeks a bit easier to bear. “I can’t believe you just said that,” he chortled.

“But its true,” Duo insisted.

“Go to sleep.” Hiiro couldn’t possibly comprehend that Duo didn’t know how resplendent he truly was but if he thought Hiiro a beauty in his own right more the better. He would do his best to remain that way for him. He was near to sleep when once again Duo graced him with words that made his heart cried out with joy.

“I love you,” was all Duo had to say to open the door to the rest of his life.
