"Where My Demons Hide"

 

06. Feelings (continuation)

Despite my concerns, he didn't say that name.
And despite my annoyance, I held still, serving as a pillow for him.

Staring at the wall where the fireplace should be, it was so dark that I almost couldn't see it, I kept stroking his hair as lightly as I could, not really able to sleep even though my body was a bit weak.

In my mind, my feelings were all mixed up. I'm not sure how we ended up having sex; since he was so ready to get away; since just the day before he was so angry when he had thought that all I wanted was to 'fuck' him; since it was pretty clear to me that was not about that.

The only thing clear to me was that he had woke up in a different mood after the afternoon sleep. And I really wanted to believe that was because we felt closer after that episode with the healer; his behavior after that was almost docile, maybe it was the tiredness, the stress, the pain... I wanted it to be any of those things. What I didn't want it to be was a result of whatever or whoever he had dreamed.

Warm fingers found my chilly face and pulled me by my chin to face the other side, "Hey... " Because the lack of light, his face was covered by shadows, but I felt the weight of his staring "what's... the matter?"

"I..." didn't have a clue about what had woken him or what to tell him, "... it's cold in here."

We were so close that I could see him frown, and it was written all over his face that he hadn't bought my excuse at all. Still, he took a moment to release me, so I could get up and go to the fireplace. It gave me some trouble to find the flintstone and dried turf [9] in the dark and light up the fire, but I had no intention of calling a servant to bring it [10]. So, by the time I got a steady flame, I was freezing and literally ran back to the bed.

Duo grabbed me laughing, holding and kissing me, letting all his body hovering over mine while I shivered inside his arms. He even gathered the sheet and pulled it over us.

"Better?" he asked and I had to nod; not that the place was warmed that fast, but having him like that, so... at ease, just made me feel good because it seemed like I was able to make him feel good too.

Every inch of my skin was seeking the warmth of his, and it was nice to have an excuse to just keep him near. "You are hot." The double meaning was purposeful and I was glad when he laughed, shifting his body at my obvious attempt to grind our bodies together forgetting for an instant about his injuries.

"Hell blood benefits," he said, referring to his thick black demon blood, that was a lot warmer than human blood.

"It's nice."

"So... will you tell me what was bothering you?"

He had really noticed it, however, there was no way on Earth that I could explain what my doubts were. "The cold..." I met his eyes and he was again with that intent staring, like he was searching for something. The weak illumination that the firelight offered making difficult to read his expression.

I was kind of surprised that he didn't push the matter and just kissed me. "Still cold?"

"A bit..."

"Then I should warm you better..." He slid his lips until my neck searching for the spot over my jugular, kissing there, then sucking hard, making me feel my heartbeat beneath his lips. My skin there still sensitive due to the bruises from before, and leaving no doubt that a hickey would be added to the marks. Not that I cared.

With his naked body willing, rubbing against mine the cold just disappeared. Also, every uneasy thought disappeared as well when he kissed my mouth again, slowly tangling his demanding tongue with mine. He pressed his torso against mine, in a lingering way that made me forget everything else. The only thing that mattered was that moment, his body and my body, the heat between us.

I embraced him, digging my fingers into his ribs, pulling him hard against me, feeling the strong need to be with him, like a drowning man that needs air. I had forgotten his injuries and he flinched but didn't stop me. Our eyes met and he was smiling, with that sexy brightness in his eyes, god he was just so... so much. "Want you... all of you, Duo," I heard my voice saying on its own. I had no intention of saying that, but when it came out I knew I meant every word, actually I meant much more.

He held my face, staring and deeply searching for something. The firelight was letting his eyes darken, hidden by his bangs. Anxious, he kissed me again, then grabbed the sides of my waist to turn me on my side again.

Guess that was the best position for his injuries, but I resisted, cupping his face making him look at me. "Want to see you. Want you to look into my eyes."

He became serious for an instant; the expression on his face, the feeling deep inside his eyes, unreadable.

I let my fingers brush his long hair, the strands cascading over his shoulder and back. I touched the feathers of his good wing, mesmerized by the effect that the flickering firelight had in that dark softness, the effect that the light had all over him. I couldn't believe that I had such an amazing creature in my arms. Or better, that I was in his arms.

He took my hand and placed a kiss on the back, rising up from me and moving to the corner of the bed bringing me by hand. He sat near enough to the edge for the broken wing to drape over the side of the bed, so it wouldn't be pressed. His leg was accommodated over the pillow and he leaned against the headboard, sprawling the other wing over the mattress; it was so long that the tip reached the far corner.

"Come here..."

For a demon, he had the most gentle expression in his eyes and I let him pull me near until I was straddling his hips [11]. I blushed to the roots of my hair; being in that position seemed to be a bit childish and I just felt embarrassed. I kissed him trying to forget the discomfort and tried to find a better position for my thigh; the cut from the last battle bothering me from being stretched. I tried to arrange the bandage that had loosened a bit and choose to ignore all of that, just because in that way I was able to see his face, his incredible eyes, able to touch and kiss him as much as I wanted.

"Let me see..." he murmured inside my mouth, making me look at him, not understanding. "You said that you want me to look inside your eyes, then you need to show everything to me..." His fingers traced my face, his eyes staring hard into me. I'm not sure, but it seemed like he had some sort of... pain? longing?... in his voice and inside his eyes.

"I..." was confused, not quite understanding what he was asking in that so affectionate way.

His smile was tender when he placed a hand on my bare chest, "Here... let me see what you are feeling..." It took me a moment looking at his hand, warm and inoffensively resting just over my heart with those black strong claws, wondering about what exactly he was asking.

"You already said you wanted me... so why are you still fighting against this...?" he whispered so gently, nuzzling the shell of my ear; I wasn't sure if I shivered at it or for the sound of his words. "Let it go. Surrender to what you're feeling. Show it to me... please."

The last word was so low that I couldn't tell if it was just my imagination hearing it so full of need. But I finally understood what he was asking me. I felt his feather kisses going down my neck, over my shoulder and he buried his face there, letting his arms embrace me tightly, his hands going up and down the line of my spine, warming my skin. I had fallen hard for him, probably at the very moment that I put my eyes on him, there was no reason to deny it, except that he was a demon, except that he had refused me two days ago, except that he was willing and ready to go just some hours before, in the afternoon.

I had a strong feeling that I would be hurt at end of this. Even so, it was already too late. Whatever his reasons were, I was already too far down the rabbit hole to get out; the only thing that I could do was keep going.

"Why?"

"'Cause you want me see to it... and 'cause I need to see it... again."

"Again?"

"It's been a long, long time, Heero..."

He looked up to find my eyes. His eyes looked intense and feverish in a way that I couldn't understand. He cupped my face, pulling me in for a kiss, a chaste kiss, just a brush of his warm lips, but there were so much behind it. He was a creature that I wanted to decipher and had no idea how.

I did like he asked. I let go, stopped fighting, surrendered to him; his reasons or all of his secrets didn't matter. I was deeply in love with him, nothing could change it. It was a kind of release, letting this sensation, these feelings, spread over my chest, over all my body and inside my soul.

He pulled me against him hard, holding me tight, his head perfectly fitting below my chin, his good wing moving to circling us; it was incredible feeling the shelter made by the soft black feathers.

Duo shivered in our embrace and stayed there for a long moment, until I tilted his face up, the expression there made me kiss him strongly and passionately. That warm intimacy becoming something stronger, I let my hands trail his skin so soft to the touch and so strong beneath.

I wanted him so badly, especially feeling him like this... almost open. We kissed and touched each other and it didn't take long until we both were aroused again.

There was no other word than affectionate to describe his expression. I was kissing all his face and his neck, while he grabbed my hips and pressed against me, our erections rubbing together. I was already loose and wet from the round before, I used my fingers to do some more stretching. His arm came around my waist, the metal of the armor cooling the skin at the small of my back, he lifted me to position himself. Then, held me, preventing me from taking him all at once.

He filled me slow and easy, sliding with more delight; I was already sensitive and the feeling was almost too much to bear.

I squeezed my eyes shut, knowing that I was flushed red even in my neck and chest. He gave me some time, holding and embracing me, making me feel impossibly hot inside his arms. The only thought in my head was that I never felt so good in my life. He was smiling against my skin when he started making me move on his lap.

It was a bit different from before, maybe it was the talking, maybe it was that position, I didn't really know, but it seemed to be just about feeling it, slow and passionate, drawing it out. About being close, being with him, with his tender caressing, the breathless kisses.

With his hands holding my waist, easing my weight, helping me with the rolling motion of my hips, with my hands grabbing his shoulders, my hard breathing, my eyes shut, I just didn't want it to end.

He nipped my collarbone and I buried my hands in his thick hair pulling his head back so I could look at his face. His beautiful perfect face, with those big purple eyes glimmering with the firelight. I was so lost and at the same time so found by being with him.

"Duo..." I moaned his name and wanted to be able to voice what I was feeling, but couldn't find the right words or enough brain cells to put it together. "I..."

"I know..." He kissed me, whispering in my mouth. I moaned in his mouth, the kissing became sloppy because we were focused in the rhythm that we had built. "I know..." he repeated grabbing my hips hard, maybe a bit too hard. I sucked his lower lip, he looked dazzling in that firelight, all flushed with that feverish look inside his eyes.

"You are so beautiful... feel so good."

"As much as you..." he replied burying his face on my neck. Shifting our position a little to relieve the weight on his right leg. I wondered about his injuries, but then he was lying back, wrapping his hand around my erection, pumping it hard; I groaned, feeling short of breath. Our eyes were locked to each other when my body went rigid, my mouth released a sob in the sound of his name while my seed was released in the tunnel of his fingers. The tightening of my muscles around him was the last thing missing to bring him to completion, filling me with his essence.

We were both breathless, my heart thumping inside my chest and when he embraced me again I felt the echo of it inside his own. We just stayed for a moment; I was overwhelmed by that completeness, knowing here and now that I couldn't just let him go.

Duo nuzzled and lazily kissed my shoulder, I was boneless laying against him. Probably my weight was crushing his wounded wing against the wood of the headboard, but when I tried to pull myself off, he held me in place. "Stay... it's ok, just a bit more..."

I would give him what he needs, everything he asks me, anything if he just stays with me. There was no way that I could let him go after that. I wanted him to not want to go anymore. "Did you..." I wanted to know if something had changed in his mind, but hadn't the courage to ask.

He tilted his head, face flushed, lips red and swollen and kissed my chin lightly. "I need to..."

My heart squeezed, my arms tightening automatically around him. "How do you always seemed to know what I'm thinking?"

He was placing wet and lazy kisses on my neck, I felt the smile on his lips. "Kind of intelligent guessing..."

"Hn... so you can't read my mind?"

"I can't. There aren't any beings that can do that... would be too unfair to your fragile kind."

This time, the 'fragile' thing hit too near the heart. I probably wasn't good enough for him, still hurt me having him point it out and I stayed silent, not sure what to do next.

"But I can 'read' your feelings..."

It took me a minute to understand, and I blushed harder; that sounded worse than reading my thoughts. "H...how so?"

"Not sure how to explain... it's part of my nature, handling energy. So, I can see the energy that your feelings release... it's like I could read them and that gives me a good idea about what you are thinking. That's all, I can't really see what is inside your mind..."

"Is this a Shinigami's power?"

"You ask too much."

"Because I want to know more about you, be close to you."

"You are already pretty close," he said joking at the fact that he was still inside me. And he was starting to move, but I didn't let him.

"It's not what I'm talking about... you know." I was holding his chin, so I was sure that he was facing me. The mischievous glint disappeared from his eyes when he understood how serious I was.

"You..." he paused, "are the closest person I've had in... almost three hundred years. You know more about me than you should, for your own safety."

That, actually, made me feel good, but, "Three hundred?"

"I'm not exactly the friendly type..." he said trying again to make things light. I let him and moved to finally let him slide out. I flinched with the ache from the cut on my thigh. He also moved himself uncomfortably, turning on his left side lying on the mattress, one hand reaching toward the leg to try to find a better position.

I cleaned myself and toss the sheet out thinking that I should ask for blankets, but not in the middle of the night. I had no idea about the hour, but it was deep in the night. I was glad that the room was warmer, the fire still high. I leaned along him to feel his body heat, noticed that his face was showing pain and tiredness.

I was surprised when he pulled me to find that position that fitted him so well in my arms. He kissed the bruises on my neck whispering, "Sorry about that... I didn't mean to hurt you... I just..."

"It's ok..." My fingers trailing up and down his arm, until finding his hand and entwining our fingers; it really was, I didn't mind, I wanted so much to take care of him. There was no way that I could explain that need, maybe I just want to give him motives to stay.

"Bite." It popped out of my mouth, surprising even me. "You're still injured... let me help..."

His lips stayed still on my skin, just in the right place over my jugular. It took him a moment, and, then, his voice was firm and steady, "You already have."

Our eyes clashed, and I knew what I needed to do to make him understand, to convince him. I just let out all my wanting, the need to make him feel better, the protectiveness that I had over him. "Please... my blood can make you feel better... let me do this, please, Duo."

"It's too soon, Heero..."

Probably he was right, it was just last night; however, he had said that he had drunk just enough to clear up the poison. There'd be no harm in just a bit more. "I'm ok, there's not much that I can do for you... but this, I can..."

He looked at me, his eyes plain. "Please..." I whispered the pleading over his lips and he buried his face on my neck again. After just a heartbeat he started licking and kissing there again, my heart was pounding in my chest when his arm around my waist straightened and his lips press hard, open mouth. I closed my eyes feeling his fangs breaking the skin, he didn't deepen the bite right down, as he was still unsure. Then, I felt the pain and that hot wave spreading really fast through my veins. I melted, relaxing in his arms, trusting my life to him again, without hesitation.

Like the other time, it ended quickly. I felt his hand pressing strongly on the spot to stop the bleeding. I felt much alike: lightheaded like I was in a dream. I didn't notice when he had moved us, and I found myself lying in his arms instead, very conscious about our naked bodies. I tilted my head until finding his mouth, thirsty for him and he let me kiss him, kissing me back this time.

"You need rest," he said, holding me and saying in an almost hypnotic voice. I saw a warm smile on his face, "There, there... be good and rest," and with some amusement treating me like a child again.

My head was too foggy and my body lazy, so it was easy to obey. I felt his lips on my forehead, "Sleep," he whispered warm over my skin just before I slid into dreamland, all cozy in his arms.

"I can't escape this now"

(TBC...)


 

Notes:

[9] Yes, just like the boy scouts. :)

[10] Because lightening fire was quite complicated, in the middle age usually the fire were keep lit up all time and had someone to watch it. It was carried from that main place to others by torches.

[11] I have a new sketch with that scene :) think that one was quite good, despite being defeated by Duo's wings and not drawing them yet... so you can see it in the facebook public album, link on my profile.

# I don't know if I can call lemon the sex in this part, ended much lighter than I first wanted. The feelings are too much and I couldn't handle with more description than that...

# About comments... the truth is that they really help (besides making me happy and to want to write more and more). Before, I was completely unable to finish this one, and without the reviews that I received I probably I would be still blocked. Appear that my blockage was solved for now... but everything (really everything) that you wanted to tell or ask me about this story will be very welcome! :)
