Braids and Waves

Parings: 1x2, 2x1 (at last!) 3x4

Warnings: LEMON! sappyness.

Notes: Now I know some of you have been waiting for this and probably saying ‘bout bloody time’! But ‘hopefully’ good things come to those who wait! And I’ve got to apologise for the really cheesy ‘Little Mermaid’ type scene. Romy my romance muse insisted on it. I think I need to start shooting my muses… too damn many of them. On a hunch I thought I would post up the last chapter. I’m expecting our net to go down any minute. So that I know I can keep you lot happy, here’s the last chapter. When I get back I’ll hopefully have something new for you.

Thanks: To my little demons (my muses!) who would not let this story
lie.

Summary: Duo is living with Quatre and Trowa. But what no-one
realises is why. And what happens when they find out the truth,
especially Heero.

Enjoy

Chapter 17 – In My Arms

The sea seemed to swallow them whole, sucking them down into the darkness. Duo quickly adjusted to it but Heero was less fortunate. The cold stole his breath away, leaving his lungs burning and it was too deep for him. The salt water stung his eyes; the current also began to pull him away. On the verge of unconsciousness he felt a strong arm wrap around him. In the knowledge that he would be safe he let the blackness take him.

When Heero came to, he could feel a hand stroking his cheek. He blinked his eyes open carefully to find himself lying on the beach with Duo lying beside him. The sky was completely clear. All signs of the storm completely vanished as if it had never happened. A full moon shone brightly, directly above. Violet eyes glowed surreally in the darkness but Heero had no fear. The merman smiled brightly when he saw the deep blue eyes flutter open.

“Hey Heero, welcome back to the land of the living.” Heero frowned.

“I died?” Duo sniggered.

“Don’t be so overdramatic. You were just out for a while. Lack of oxygen can do that to a man ya know. Besides you wouldn’t die that easily.” Heero managed to slap his lovers arm playfully.

“Duo, why are lying on a beach? Aren’t we being followed?” Duo’s grin grew wider.

“Nope.”

“How can you so sure?” Heero’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.

“Because while you were out I found your yacht, got on board and radioed the Preventers here. It’s funny; the Duo Maxwell name still holds a lot of sway.” The long haired merman said airily.

“I know it does, a lot of it over me.” Duo lowered a sarcastic gaze at the man lying beside him.

“I don’t believe that Heero.”

“I came after you didn’t I?” Duo thought about it and nodded. “That’s because I can’t live without you. You have total control over me.” Duo was left speechless. Heero ran his fingers down the pale luminous cheek. “You are everything to me.”

“Even with this?” Duo brought his tail up so the fins almost touched his hair. Cold droplets fell from it and splashed against Heero.

“Even with that, as long as it doesn’t drip on me.”

“Sorry.” Duo lowered his tail again.

“Besides, it seems to make you extremely flexible.” A dark eyebrow rose suggestively at the comment.

“I’m not Trowa y’know.”

“Thank god your not, otherwise I would have a very mad Quatre after me.” Duo sniggered again,

“I don’t think –mph.” His comment was cut off mid-flow as Heero pulled him down for a passionate kiss. When he was released to breathe, Duo looked down in shock. “What was that for?”

“Because I wanted to. Because you are beautiful. Because I have so much to make up for.”

“That’s rubbish He-” He was cut off by a single finger on his lips.

“Yes I have, and I want to start right now. I want you to make love to me Duo.” The Japanese man’s voice was just above a whisper.

“You would do that for me?” Duo blinked in surprise.

“I want to prove to you that I trust you and love you completely. Please Duo.” The long haired youth looked down lovingly.

“I know you do.”

“Duo?”

“Yes love?”

“Shut up.” The comment was said fondly and with a gentle smile. Duo smiled back. He lent down and kissed Heero.

“Let’s get back to the yacht. The beach is romantic and everything but sand will go everywhere, and I mean everywhere.” Heero nodded in agreement.

“As long as it doesn’t involve getting wet.” Duo smirked, trying to behave himself as his mind wandered to other things that comment could suggest but he replied,

“Fine, you can run along here. But I’m swimming. I’ll see you there.” Heero stroked Duo’s cheek once more.

“As soon as I can.” With that, the merman twisted around then pulled himself into the water.

“I love you.” Duo’s voice seemed to echo around Heero and went straight to his heart. Heero nearly started crying from the intensity of feeling he got from that single comment. It seemed Duo had the same type of power in his voice as his cousins. He didn’t hesitate for a second more and raced to the yacht and to his lover.

-x-

A very tempting and very naked Duo was waiting for him when he got to the yacht. It seemed he had managed to dry his tail off as he was able to walk towards Heero, eyes looking through his bangs, hair hanging loosely, still slightly damp.

“You made it then.” Heero felt his stomach twist slightly in expectation. There was that tone in his voice, Heero could just recognise it. Duo had toned it down just to make Heero more open to his emotions.

“You could have done that any time couldn’t you? That voice thing. Why didn’t you?”

“Because that would be cheating. I wanted you to really love me. Not be forced into it.”

“And I fell for you hook, line and sinker.” Heero murmured taking Duo into his arms. Duo ran his fingers through messy bangs.

“I love you Heero Yuy.” Heero smiled at that, then felt nimble fingers at his clothes. Heero dropped his arms to allow Duo all the access he wished. Soon he was as naked as his partner. Duo wrapped his arms around Heero. “Y’know it’s a little cool out here.”

“Is it? I hadn’t noticed.” He took Duo’s lips in a fierce kiss. Duo ran his hands ran everywhere he could reach, enjoying touching his lover again after so long. Heero guided them down to lie on the deck.

“Out here?”

“Out here, under the stars and moon, with the sound of waves around us.” Duo just smiled then trailed kisses across Heero’s jaw and up to his ear, taking the soft flesh into his mouth he began to nibble on it. Heero gave a deep moan. That was interesting; Heero had sensitive ears, a fact to remember for later. His hands roamed the expanse of Heero’s chest, quickly finding the sensitive nubs of flesh and began teasing them, quickly bringing them to hardness. His mouth trailed down from Heero’s ear to one of his nipples and began to suck and lick at it.

Heero arched into the contact, not caring about keeping his voice down. Duo was glad of that. His mouth moved over to the other side and gave the other nipple the same treatment. Finally his mouth continued the journey downwards, pausing to lick at his belly button before trailing his tongue lower. He paused to look at Heero’s straining flesh below him.

“Please Duo?” The plea was barely more than a whine. Duo couldn’t help but grin. He waited a little longer, teasing Heero further. He let him writhe under him; enjoying the slight sense of power he had over his lover at that moment.

“Heero.” He cooed to the struggling man. Heero whimpered loudly. “You know I could make you cum with just a few words.” Heero whimpered. “Don’t worry love; I wouldn’t do that to you.” With that he licked up the hard cock in front of him. His lover nearly jumped from the deck. Duo smiled before taking Heero into his mouth and sucking lightly. Heero could hardly breathe and when he did, he only managed gasps and moans. Duo decided he couldn’t wait much longer himself and the way that Heero was moving beneath him was making him as hard as his lover.

“Lube Heero?” Some remaining active brain cells seemed to connect as lust filled Prussian looked at him, a shaking hand reached to where his combats had fallen. After clumsily fishing through pockets he finally held up a familiar tube.

“I don’t think I should ask why you have that in there.”

“Guns.” He moaned back.

“I’m sure there’s better things to use on your weaponry but I won’t complain.” He took the tube from the shaking hand, opened it and squeezed some of the gel onto his fingers. He tossed it to one side before returning his focus back to Heero.

The Prussian eyed man raised his knees to allow Duo easier access and was quickly rewarded for his efforts. Duo’s fingers circled his entrance before gently easing one finger in. Heero almost hummed with pleasure. Duo was a careful lover and made sure not hurt Heero. He was swiftly able to use a second finger and began to thrust them in and out of the whimpering man below him.

“Duo! Please!” Duo had to agree with Heero on this one. He reached for the lube once more to coat his own throbbing erection. He didn’t realise how sensitive he had become. Placing a hand near Heero’s shoulder, he took himself with the other and guided himself to Heero’s waiting channel. Carefully he slid in, making sure not to push too hard. He held his breath to try to calm his running hormones.

It didn’t take long for Heero to move beneath his lover to show that he was ready. Slowly Duo drew out making them both moan, before sliding back in.

“God Heero. You feel so good.” Heero could only moan in reply but wrapped his legs around his lover’s waist to pull him in deeper. Duo began setting a steady pace, feeling every inch of Heero cling around him.

“Harder.” Was the only word Heero managed to groan out. Duo couldn’t resist. Holding on to Heero’s hips, his thrusts sped up and pounded into the willing man below him, making him cry out louder. Duo could see that Heero was nearing his peak and released one hip to begin pumping his lover’s cock firmly. At the increased speed and extra sensation, Heero felt his end racing towards him and there was nothing he could do to prevent it. Screaming his Duo’s name to the waves, he finally released his creamy fluid to coat himself and his lover. Duo, not far behind, was held in a vice like grip as Heero’s muscles spasmed around him. It was enough stimulation for the long haired merman to reach his own orgasm, crying out as he filled Heero’s channel with his own fluids. He slumped forwards to rest against Heero’s shoulder. They ignored the girly giggles that seemed to rise from the water.

After a while they had both recovered enough to hold a conversation.

“What will we do now Heero?”

“Why don’t we travel a bit first, see the world together before going home? I missed you when I was looking for you. There was so much that we should have seen together. And I suggest you move in with me. I live near the sea. You could visit anytime you wished. And I suggest we call Quatre, let him know were both ok.”

“Yeah, that sounds nice.” Duo thought for a moment. “I’ve just realised something. Heero, I don’t have any clothes.” He suddenly remembered all his clothes had been left behind in America. “I’ll have to stay like this for the rest of our trip then.” He looked at his naked form and Heero did the same.

“Yes, I suppose you’ll have to.” Heero replied feigning misery. “What a shame.” Duo slapped his lover gently and Heero laughed. He wasn’t about to tell Duo that he had actually brought the duffle bag with the American’s clothes in it with him. Not just yet anyway.

-x-

Quatre smiled happily. Heero and Duo back together. The world was back to rights again. The blonde was just happy that they were both safe. He would let Trowa know when he got back from work. He couldn’t help but grin at the little tit-bit that Heero had divulged that ‘a little mermaid’ had passed on to him. Who would have thought? If Duo had been a girl he would have been named Amethyst? That would come in handy one day. He turned to face the window. Yes, the world seemed a much brighter place today.
