Ch 7 It was a long night of fitful thoughts afterward in which he ran through the customary emotions. Guilt, elation and shame were overshadowed by the hope that things would progress favorably and the desire to make the dream a reality. However, if Duo wasn’t willing to go that route he had firmly decided that they would find another way even if it meant he was the one spreading his legs. Who knew? Maybe it was something he would learn to enjoy but regardless he knew he wanted to take things to the next level and claim Duo as his own. His heart beat quickly as he drove to WEI the next day in anticipation of seeing Duo but when Quatre greeted him it was obvious he had not yet arrived. “Is Duo still coming?” he asked not really caring that he sounded a bit desperate over the answer. “I thought he would ride with you,” Quatre replied. “But don’t worry; he never makes it before eleven when he rides that broken down bike of his.” Hiiro checked the clock noting the hour was twenty of eleven and tried not to let Duo’s absence get to him. The coffee was good and they had lost an entire days work the day before so there was plenty to keep him busy during the wait but he still couldn’t’ stop himself from glancing at the clock every five minutes. When it read eleven fifteen Quatre finally gave in and laughed. “Are you going to be all right?” he chuckled setting his cup aside as it was empty. “Fine,” Hiiro nodded checking the clock again. “He’ll be here,” Quatre assured him shuffling some finished business into a folder. “Who?” Hiiro evaded none too convincingly as he glanced at the door. “You’ve really got it bad,” the blond snickered shaking his head when Hiiro suddenly glared at him. “Oh, stop it,” he admonished. “It’s so obvious I can almost feel your heart racing.” “You don’t think he could be hurt do you?” Hiiro wondered giving up. “He’s a big boy,” Quatre consoled. “Does he know how you feel?” “Probably more so that I do,” Hiiro laughed nervously. “But I think I offended him yesterday and I guess I’m a little anxious to apologize.” “Are you sure you should?” “Excuse me?” “Apologize,” Quatre smiled laughing softly at Hiiro’s confusion. “Duo has a way of making it seem like nothing he does could possibly be wrong,” he explained. “But he’s not perfect.” “Damn near,” Hiiro countered absently glancing at the clock again. “You hardly know him,” Quatre pointed out. “I’ve known him longer than you’ve known Trowa,” Hiiro argued. Quatre pinked but couldn’t argue the point so he changed tact. “I know this will sound hypocritical,” he began. “But Duo’s not an easy person to get to know. You may need to give him some time.” “I’ll wait forever if that’s what he needs,” Hiiro replied jerking around to look at the door when it opened. “Feeding Taumal funny chocolate again?” Duo grinned breezing in and Hiiro smiled thinking he was the single most beautiful thing he’d ever seen. “Good morning,” Quatre smile rising to take up his empty coffee cup. “You’re late. Was traffic heavy?” “Like it matters to me?” Duo chuckled offering Hiiro a small smile that eased the tension in his shoulders visibly. “Morning.” “Hi,” Hiiro smiled in return resisting the urge to jump up and help him with his chair. “Coffee?” “Thanks,” Duo nodded to their host who flashed him a stern look before exiting stage right. “Are you tired?” “What?” Duo chuckled taking some things out of his bag. “It’s a long ride,” Hiiro reasoned. “I’ve been doing it for years,” Duo countered. “Doesn’t bother me, I told you that.” Something wasn’t right and for some reason it hurt. “There’s a movie in the park tonight,” Hiiro commented. “If you’d like to go we could…” “It’s skating night for the kids,” Duo cut in. Hiiro’s heart tightened as he watched him lean over his papers and began scribbling something in the margins. “Duo?” “Hm?” “Please.” Duo sighed heavily but put the pen down and scrubbed at his eyes before turning to face him and Hiiro noticed the red tinged rings around them for the first time. “Listen,” he began in a tired tone. “I think maybe things were just moving a little too fast, ok?” It wasn’t ok. “That’s not the impression I got.” “All right,” Duo nodded. “Then I was moving a little to fast. Either way, we need to take a step back.” “Are you afraid of me?” “I…” Duo stuttered momentarily stunned by the question and clearly without a quick answer. “Duo,” Hiiro interjected into the silence scooting a bit closer. “You know how horrible I am with people. No, just listen,” he insisted when Duo started to speak. “I am so it’s hard for me to explain how I feel but…” Duo was looking at him with such confusion in his eyes it nearly broke his heart. “Gods,” he suddenly breathed chuckling at his own melodrama. “I’ve never wanted anything so much in my life. Hell, I’ve never wanted anything I couldn’t get on my own but now…” The clouds began to clear from Duo’s eyes lifting a great weight from Hiiro’s heart. “Just tell me what you need,” he coaxed. “I don’t know how to make you happy but if you’ll tell me what to do…” “Kiss me.” Hiiro’s smile outshone the sun as he moved forward and laid a soft kiss on Duo’s lips. “I’m sorry.” “What are you afraid of?” Duo asked softly and Hiiro took the opportunity to make damn sure he understood by replying firmly… “Failing you.” “If you stick around as long as I hope you will that’s bound to happen from time to time,” Duo snorted. “Then tell me how to make it up to you when it does,” Hiiro bargained taking his face in his hands and smiling confidently when Duo whispered… “Kiss me.” So he did, long and deep and with great relish until all the doubts had crumbled away and the desire to explore the new idea’s in his head came rushing to the surface and suddenly Duo gasped and squirmed and broke away. “Damn,” he exclaimed breathlessly. Hiiro looked down on him where he’d pushed him down in the chair and suddenly realized what he’d intended to do. “Sorry,” he gasped retreating hastily. “What was that?” Duo chuckled. “Guess I got carried away,” Hiiro replied fruitlessly combing his hair back. “You’ve never kissed me like that before,” Duo grinned liking the way Hiiro looked in bright red very much. “Come to some conclusion I should know about?” “Go out with me tonight,” Hiiro smirked. Quatre walked back in at that moment stopping halfway across the floor when he picked up on the strange vib but both of his guests were smiling so he shrugged it off and proceeded to his seat. Work proved to be more difficult than usual as Duo seemed more interested in flirting with Hiiro than actually getting anything done but Hiiro wasn’t exactly trying to deter him either. They managed to come to some conclusions in spite of the playful atmosphere before Trowa showed up to take Quatre to lunch and Hiiro suggested they grab a sandwich at the sub shop in the lobby but when they got there it was closed for renovations leaving them with little choice but to dine at the ritzy café on the other side of the large entry unless they wanted to brave lunch hour traffic. “Table for four?” the host asked in his prim tone and tailored suite. “Two,” Duo replied flashing a dangerous grin when the guy looked down his nose at him. “Wait just a moment,” the man instructed going to a pedestal where a hostess was making notes presumably on the seating chart. They spoke to one another seeming to disagree on something before the man made his way back toward them and the Hiiro caught the girl rolling her eyes. “This way,” the host instructed breezing off at a brisk pace toward the shadowed recesses of the café. Duo started to follow with a sigh on his lips until Hiiro touched his arm and redirected them toward the young lady. “Excuse me,” he greeted her and was received with an amiable smile. “Is this restaurant owned by WEI?” “Yes, of course,” she smiled. Hiiro glanced at where the man had stopped and was impatiently tapping his foot. “I see,” Hiiro nodded. “Pardon my forwardness but would it be possible for you to seat us? I believe your co-worker may be somewhat troubled by our presence.” She glanced at the guy disapprovingly but smiled and forgot him as she took up two menus and replied, “Of course, sir. Right this way.” Duo had brightened during the exchange which made the effort more than worth while but Hiiro got a major bonus and laughed out loud when the longhaired boy took his arm and stuck his tongue out at the man. “Is this all right?” the girl asked showing them a brightly lit table by a window that overlooked a small garden. “Very nice,” Hiiro nodded handing Duo into his seat. “Thank you.” “You’re welcome,” she smiled waving a very short waitress with a very wide smile over. “This is Emily; she’ll be your server. Please, enjoy your meal.” Emily asked what they’d like to drink, gave them the lunch specials and busily disappeared leaving them to look the menu over but two minutes later Duo was still staring at the appetizers. “Is there anything you like?” Hiiro inquired checking the wine list. “Uh,” Duo grunted peering over the top of his menu. “What’s a Flowerette?” “I believe it’s an onion that has been cut to look like a flower, breaded and deep fried.” “That’s it?” Duo deadpanned snorting when Hiiro nodded. “You could buy a truck load of onions for what their charging.” Hiiro couldn’t help the little laugh that escaped his throat. “It’s all in the preparation,” he smiled knowing very well how lame the excuse was. “We can get something from the snack machine if you’d rather.” The offer cheered his companion up considerably but he shook his head. “Naw. It’d make Emily look bad but…is there anything on here that resembles a tuna sandwich?” Hiiro paused to read over the choices and pointed out a salad that was topped with grilled fish that made Duo happy in spite of the exuberant fee. He made a note not to take him to places like that anymore and secretly thanked the gods that Duo was a man of simple tastes like himself. This was not the sort of place he was comfortable in so it was an easy adjustment to make. When the food came Emily pointed out the unique characteristics of the meal then left them to dine in peace. “What’s that?” Duo asked poking a forkful of fish at Hiiro’s plate. “Seawolf roulade,” Hiiro replied cutting a small piece for him to sample. “You like fish right?” “Hm,” Duo nodded appreciating the delicate flavor. “Not bad.” “What did you get?” “I think it’s tilapia,” Duo replied sniffing a bit that he then offered to Hiiro who giggled when his companion placed it on his tongue feeling foolish. “Herring,” he concluded. “How can you tell?” “I herred it say so,” Hiiro replied ducking a bit of carrot that sailed his way. They spent the rest of their meal in good company utterly unaware of the world as they laughed and shamelessly flirted with each other until it was time to pay the tab and Hiiro pulled his cell and called Quatre. The conversation was so quite Duo couldn’t hear and sulked mightily at not having been in on whatever was going on until the brilliant, blond CEO breezed through the doors with Trowa close by his side. As expected, the snooty man that had been so rude to them came running the moment he recognized him falling all over himself until they stopped at Hiiro and Duo’s table. “We were just returning from lunch,” Quatre smiled in explanation. “You should have told me you were going to eat here,” he admonished turning to wave Emily over while completely ignoring the pale man by his side. “Their lunch is on my tab,” he smiled taking the bill and scribbling a sizable tip that made her eyes grow enormous before she scurried away. “Is this him?” Quatre asked indicating the now shivering host who suddenly looked six inches shorter. Hiiro nodded while placing his arm on the back of Duo’s chair and trying not to laugh when the guy almost pissed himself when Trowa slipped an arm around Quatre’s waist and asked over his shoulder… “Perhaps you would be happier in another position?” “Is everything all right?” the hostess that had seated them asked when the man flat out ran by her and out the door. “Who was that man?” Quatre asked not willing to wait and ask his building manager later. “Our day manager,” she replied. “Is he ok?” “He has been relieved of his duties,” Quatre informed her noting the irrepressible smile tugging at her lips. “Is there anyone that can run the place until a replacement can be found?” “Um…” she began blushing prettily but Quatre’s eyes were drawn to Emily and one of the male servers who were adamantly pointing at her back and waving their arms. “If it’s not too much trouble,” Quatre smiled. “Would you be willing to manage the store for the time being?” Her eyes went wide but nothing came out of her mouth so he added a quick, “The job would come with a substantial raise of course.” “Yes, sir!” she barked hastily reddening even more over her outburst. “Thank you, sir. I’ll do my best.” “I’m sure you will,” he smiled before leading his group out the door. “You’re so slick,” Duo teased when they stepped in the elevator. “Brilliant,” Trowa agreed. “It was all Hiiro’s idea,” the blond chuckled more than a little amused when Hiiro fidgeted as the others turned to raise a brow at him. The afternoon was passed amiably though they didn’t manage to get a lot more work done after adding Trowa to the mix. Without Quatre’s steady encouragement to concentrate on the plans things progressively deteriorated until Duo was defending himself against an all out tickle attack by Hiiro and Quatre was lost to the sumptuous feeling of Trowa’s thumb gently caressing the nape of his neck. “S…stop!” Duo begged balling up in an attempt to guard his poor abused ribs then suddenly Hiiro relented falling on him and jerking his chin at Quatre whose eyes had slipped closed while Trowa stared intently at his face. The silent message was sent and they hastily excused themselves making sure to lock the door on their way out just in case their friends couldn’t wait. Hiiro got them on the road in spite of the late afternoon traffic and headed them in the direction of a park he had read offered outside movies in the evening as he had suggested earlier that day. “This is what you were talking about,” Duo smiled reading a sign at the entrance to the parking lot. “But it doesn’t start till after dark.” “Are you in a hurry?” Hiiro inquired pulling the limo into the five spaces farthest from the green. “Not really,” Duo replied slipping his hand into Hiiro’s then glancing back at the empty length of the car. “Wanna show me your place?” he smiled. Hiiro grinned wickedly and extracted the keys. Moments later they had relocated to the back and Hiiro was digging in the fridge for a bottle of vintage wine. “You know I can’t hold my liquor,” Duo chuckled accepting a glass. “One won’t hurt will it?” Hiiro asked putting the rest back. Duo shrugged sipping from his glass and looked around at the plush surroundings. “You really didn’t spare the expense did you?” he chuckled running his fingers down an exquisitely upholstered arm rest. “My clients expect only the best,” Hiiro replied scooting a bit closer. The air was cool and the mirrored windows ensured a comfortable, almost cave like atmosphere that let them forget about the rest of the world as Duo turned to gaze into his eyes. “Hiiro?” “Tell me what you want,” the Japanese boy asked softly slowly gravitating toward him. Duo swallowed somewhat alarmed by the shifting shadows in his eyes. “I um… Hiiro?” Duo whispered breathing deep when Hiiro’s lips gently brushed along his cheek. “Hn?” Hiiro moaned softly giving himself wholly over to the rising need inside him. “Are you sure you want to go there?” Duo asked willingly laying his head to the side. “As long as you tell me where to stop,” Hiiro bargained silencing any further conversation with a kiss. Duo groaned long and low opening himself to Hiiro’s advance with eager anticipation and Hiiro’s blood pressure topped out as he dove in head first. He still wasn’t exactly sure where the line of propriety was or what Duo would like or dislike but he was determined to find out and took great pleasure in discovering some of the things that made the longhaired boy shiver and moan. He wanted to touch him, touch his skin and feel him tremble so he braved the forbidden regions and slipped his hand between Duo’s thighs. It was as if he’d flipped a switch on the braided boy’s passion control because he went from a nice, slow simmer to a full boil in two seconds flat. “Duo!” Hiiro breathed rushing to rid them of the barriers of fabric and leather as he groped at his belt and opened his pants. “Ah… d…damn,” Duo panted clinging to him as Hiiro took him in hand then kissed him senseless while he worked him into a heavy sweat. He tasted so damn good and the heady scent of him rising up from below was making Hiiro’s head spin until all he could think of was gaining more of this wonderful feeling and hissed an incoherent, “Duo!?” into the air but all the braided boy could do was crack his eyes open helplessly in curiosity. “I want…” Hiiro groaned gazing down at what his hand was doing and feeling a rush course through him when Duo gasped… “Do whatever you want…just don’t stop!” Free reign! It didn’t’ get any better than that and though his body yearned to take what it wanted he gave into his first desire and sank to his knees relishing the gasping moans his oral efforts were causing in Duo as he drove him over the edge and claimed his first victory in what he hoped would be a life long endeavor. “Jesus,” Duo panted as Hiiro leaned back and wiped his mouth with satisfaction. “Where’d you learn to do that?” Duo laughed drunkenly gazing down on him. “Gay porn,” Hiiro chuckled. For a moment Duo simply stared at him then suddenly busted up laughing. “You’re kidding right?” “Nope,” Hiiro laughed along crawling into the seat beside him. “You actually watch that stuff?” “No but there wasn’t any other site that explained it very well.” Again Duo stared at him with wondrous eyes. “You researched how to give head for me?” Hiiro fought and lost the battle of the blush shrugging instead of trying to explain. “That’s sort of… sweet.” Again Hiiro shrugged but wrapped his arms around him when he rolled over and straddled his lap. “And here I thought you were a regular hard ass,” Duo grinned kissing him so deeply it was all Hiiro could do to keep from drowning. Things progressed rather predictably as Duo moved to his ears, neck and chest but when he slid down to his stomach Hiiro gripped his arms and pulled him back up. “Thanks,” he smiled reassuringly as he pulled him close and sighed. “But I think I’d just like to hold you for a while if that’s all right?” “You’re really something else,” Duo laughed lightly snuggling deep into his arms where he sighed softly and smiled. Hiiro kissed his hair and squeezed him tight replying in a quite tone, “I wasn’t much of anything until you came along.” Whatever Duo thought of that he kept to himself while they quietly held each other and just soaked in the splendid feeling of being so close. Nether had realized the passage of time until other cars started to show up and folks began to mill around outside in anticipation of the coming attraction. ~ * ~ tbc... |
