Trowa stood in the doorway watching the figure in the bed. Moonlight streamed in through the window, occasionally botted by the clouds that foretold the coming of a storm. From his vantage point, Trowa could see the sleeper was in distress. Though the form didn't move, his skin glistened with sweat. Trowa was glad he had brought the damp washcloth.
Softly and slowly, Trowa moved towards the bed. He paused to admire the sight before him as he lay the damp cloth on the nightstand.
The moon, given relief from the clouds, shone across the bed. The blanket was at the foot of the bed, the sheet bunched around the sleeper's waist, letting Trowa know he slept shirtless. The hair that fanned out on the bed was colored silver by the moonlight.
Trowa felt overwhelmed by the vision before him as he slowly reached out to touch the dreamer. As his fingers ghosted over the exposed flesh of an arm, the sleeper whimpered. As his hand softly touched where his fingers had ghosted, the sleeper screamed.
Trowa found himself on the floor, a knife pressed to his throat. He looked up into wild eyes. Carefully and softly, he spoke.
"Duo." The knife pressed closer and he tried again.
"Duo. Its...Trowa." The eyes above him blinked in confusion. Slowly, as realization worked across Duo's features, the knife eased. When Duo tossed it away, Trowa sat up and wrapped his arms around Duo. The long-haired boy gasped in fearful surprise, tensing then going limp against Trowa. In seconds, Duo's slight frame shook with the force of his sobs.
Trowa scooped the weeping boy into his arms and carried him to the bed. Gently, he laid Duo down and started to rise to leave. Duo clung desperately to him as he started to pull away.
"No. Don't go. Please stay. Please." Duo looked tearfully up into Trowa's concerned face. "Trowa, please don't go. I don't want to be alone."
"Don't worry, Duo, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay beside you for as long as you need me." As he said this, he climbed into the bed and began to pull Duo to him.
Before Duo's head touched his shoulder, Duo leaned over him, his long hair blocking the moonlight. Trowa looked up into Duo's serious gaze.
"Even if its forever?" Trowa smiled up at him and nodded, tugging on some of Duo's hair playfully before pulling him down.
"Yes, Duo. Even if its forever. I..." Trowa paused, firming his resolve, then continued softly, "I love you." He started to panic as Duo tensed upon hearing those three words. He was ready to bolt, fearing rejection, when Duo's soft, warm lips pinned him to the bed.
The kiss was not like anything Trowas could ever have imagined. To him, it was more beautiful than the earth, more passionate than music, sweeter than wine, and as priceless as Duo.
As the kiss became less innocent, Duo's hands did not idle. They seared Trowa's skin where they brushed in their quest. Trowa felt a tug on his tanktop and obligingly raised his arms to allow the article to be removed.
As Duo tossed the shirt to the floor, Trowa pinned him to the bed. He wanted to show Duo how much he loved him. His hands slipped into Duo's pajama bottoms, grazing the long-haired boy's sensitive parts, and proceeded to pull them gently from his legs.
As he threw them to the floor, Duo tugged on Trowa's boxers. He chuckled a bit, allowing the dark cloth to be removed. As the boxers hit the floor, they both stared at each other, absorbing the beauty before them.
Trowa, overcome by the vision that lay before him, leaned foreward and placed a loving kiss on Duo's forhead. When he sat back, Duo's eyes were closed.
A mischevious grin hovered on Trowa's lips for a momnet. He moved stealthily and Duo yelped in surprise, his eyes flying open to see his erect member engulfed in the moist heat of Trowa's mouth.
His eyes rolled and closed as he let out a moan as Trowa's tongue slid over him, leaving a moist trail. But it only lasted a moment or two. Duo whimpered his displeasure as Trowa pulled away.
"Shh, love. Watch." Duo obeyed and was greeted by the sight of Trowa poised above him. Trowa waited only the briefest moment before he slowly, tortuously began to impale himself.
He kept his eyes locked with Duo's as he concentrated on relaxing. It hurt a bit, but he was going at his own pace. Suddenly, as he thrust down onto Duo the rest of the way, he saw colors dance across his sight as a wave of pleasure raced through him. He gave an experimental bounce and was rewarded with the same results.
Duo took the cue and gently placed his hands on Trowa's waist. The young acrobat was so tight! He didn't know how long he would last, but he guided Trowa in an attempt to give as much pleasure as he was recieving.
Trowa felt one of Duo's hands leave his him. He was so lost in the new sensations he was feeling, he was very surprised when the absent hand reappeared around his shaft. With the pleasure now twofold, Trowa was pushed over the edge. With a loud cry, he came.
Trowa's spasming was too much for Duo. With one last thrust, he came, spurting his seed inside the tall boy above him. Trowa smiled down at him, his arms shaking as they supported him.
Sitting back up, Trowa reached over and grabbed the washcloth from the nightstand and cleaned Duo. He eased himself up, allowing Duo to slide from him. As soon as he was finished cleaning, Duo pinned him to the bed and returned the favor.
When he was finished, he tossed the cloth on the floor and laid down beside Trowa, resting his head on the other boy's shoulder. Trowa wrapped his arms protectively around Duo.
"Did you enjoy my gift?" Trowa asked softly. Duo nearly sat upright, but for Trowa's arms around him.
"You...you mean you're a virgin?" Trowa chuckled, giving Duo a small squeeze.
"In that respect, I was. I wanted you to know how much I love you." Duo snuggled deeper into Trowa's embrace.
"I already knew. I'm not as dense as some would like you to believe. But thank you for such a precious gift. I only wish I could return the favor." Trowa hugged Duo close.
"Trowa?" He smiled as Duo attempted to stifle a yawn.
"Hmm?" Outside, the moon could no longer be seen.
"Stay with me forever." Trowa gave the boy a reassuring squeeze.
"Forever and always, my love." Duo yawned and pulled the sheet and blanket over them. A slow, steady beat began to hit the windows of Duo's room.
"I love you, Trowa. Always have, always will." Trowa felt as though he had reached cloud nine.
"Sweet dreams, Duo. I'll be here to keep the nightmares away." And he, too, fell asleep.
