"The Prince Bride."

Chapter 2 "True Love"

"Heero's favorite ways to pass the time were to ride his horse and torment the living daylights out of the farm boy who worked on the farm. His name was Duo Maxwell but Heero never called him that........"

"Nothing gave Heero more pleasure than to order Duo around....."

Heero Yuy entered the stables where he knew Duo was working, cleaning out the stalls and making sure the horses were comfortable. Seeing the lithe body as he tossed the straw around Heero swallowed the sudden lump in his throat and spoke. "Baka! I want you to polish my horses saddle. I want to be able to see my face in it by morning."

Duo looked up through his sweat soaked bangs at the figure standing before him. A small smile graced his lips as he stared into the cobalt depths. Bowing gracefully he said softly, "Your wish is my command."

Uncle Howard paused in his reading for a moment and looked at Zechs. "Your wish is my command is all Duo ever said to Heero."

"They must have had some pretty boring conversations then." muttered Zechs to himself.

Uncle Howard overheard the muffled words but neglected to comment. His eyes turned back to the page and he continued with the story.....

Duo was out in the yard chopping up firewood, his shirt removed with the exertion of his task, the axe arcing through the air to land with a thud upon the unsuspecting log and neatly splitting it in two.

Heero came across the yard in the gathering dusk carrying two large buckets. He stopped dead in his tracks as he watched the muscles ripple underneath the taut skin as the axe was plied repeatedly to the logs. He subconsciously licked his lips. Shaking himself from his stupor he proceeded again to where Duo stood, chest heaving slightly, sweat running in rivulets down the hard chiseled planes of his body.

Heero dropped the buckets.

Duo looked up at him and smiled.

"Baka! Fill these with water......" Heero commanded. He looked deep into amethyst that shone with something.... "....Please." Heero added as he noted the unspoken words in Duo's eyes.

Duo curved an arm about his belly as he bowed deeply. "Your wish is my command."

Heero hesitated for a moment, lost in those expressive eyes before he spun around and marched back towards the house, something stirring inside him and not sure if he wanted to know what it was.

Uncle Howard looked up from the page. "It was then that Heero finally figured out that whenever Duo said 'Your wish is my command' he really meant, 'I love you with all my heart.'"

Zechs made a gagging noise, Uncle Howard passed him a glass of water before resuming his tale...

Heero glanced back over his shoulder as Duo took the buckets and began to draw the water from the well to fill them.

"It was then that Heero realized he truly loved Duo back." Uncle Howard anticipated the choking noise and had a tissue ready.

Duo entered the warm kitchen, his arms filled with the logs he had been chopping and set them down carefully next to the roaring fire. He dusted himself off and was about to exit when he heard Heero call out to him. He paused and turned in the doorway.

"Baka..." As Duo turned around to face him Heero looked wildly about. He needed a reason for having called out and he needed it quick. Spying the pitcher sitting within arm's reach on the bench he commanded. "Hand me that pitcher."

Silently Duo walked over to where Heero was standing, their bodies mere centimeters apart. He reached around Heero and picked up the pitcher from the table. All the time his eyes never left Heero's. He placed the pitcher in Heero's hand trying to ignore the electricity that crackled as their fingers touched. Leaning forward he whispered. "Your wish is my command."

Heero's hand took the pitcher but his eyes stayed glued to Duo's. The words whispered out barely registering other than the soft caress of hot breath over his cheek. He could feel the heat of Duo's body, see the slight flush to the pale skin, smell the scent that was ultimately Duo. His eyes wandered over Duo's face, noting the high defined cheekbones, soft pink tint of a blush, slightly upturned nose and perfect lips. Darting his eyes from those lips back to Duo's eyes he noticed the amusement dancing within the violet fire. Softly their lips gravitated towards each other, Heero tilting his head slightly as their lips met and brushed softly over one another.

Duo reached his hands up and gently cupped Heero's head, he leaned into the kiss, running his tongue lightly over Heero's soft pliant mouth and begging for entry to the depths within. Access was granted and Duo's tongue slipped forward to meet with its counterpart. The kiss deepened as tongues roamed freely, exploring the sweetness of inner recesses, of soft palette, finding and tormenting weak spots.

The Pitcher dropped from Heero's nerveless fingers as his libido was thrown into overdrive with all the new sensations that Duo's invading tongue was giving him.

Panting lightly Duo drew back, reluctant to leave but knowing he had to. He pressed a last gentle kiss to those sweet lips before turning and walking from the room, leaving a slightly bedazzled and more than aroused Heero behind him to puzzle out just what had happened.

Zechs sat upright in the bed. "Hey! Hold it right there Uncle Howard. Where is all the action? You know the fighting and stuff? You didn't say it was going to be all about soppy kissing and lovey dovey garbage."

"Just calm down and hold your horses. The fighting and other magical things will come into it soon. Be patient." Uncle Howard rubbed his nose.

"I just want to know when it's going to get good. Kissing... yeech!"

Howard hid an amused smile behind the book cover and continued with his reading....

"Duo had no money to fund a marriage or to even be an equal in the relationship so it was with much soul searching he decided to pack his worldly goods and seek his fortune abroad."

Duo stood outside the small farmhouse and gazed around. At his feet sat the small bag that contained all he owned.... a change of clothes and a hair brush. Heero stepped out of the small kitchen to meet him, eyes sorrowful.

"It was an emotional time for Heero...." Uncle Howard droned on.

"Not as emotional as being forced to listen to this crap." thought Zechs.

Heero entwined his fingers in Duo's as they walked down the track towards the main road to the harbor. Reaching the cross road they paused and Duo drew Heero into his arms, hugging his love close....

"Not more kissing. How disgusting." Zechs screwed up his nose.

Uncle Howard ignored him and continued....

Heero buried his face in the crook of Duo's shoulder and tried to keep his tears at bay. "I fear I will never see you again." he whispered.

Duo pulled back a little and partook of a sweet kiss. His hand caressed Heero's cheek and Heero leaned into the palm. "Of course you will see me again." Duo said as he reached again to drink from Heero's wine dark lips.

Heero moaned softly and pressed himself closer to Duo as Duo began to nibble along the column of his throat. "But what if something happens to you?" he panted.

Duo nuzzled Heero's neck and drew his scent deep into his nostrils before tilting his head to look deep into cobalt depths. He pressed his hips against Heero's. "Hear this now... I will always come for you....."

Heero drew in a sharp breath and thought about the best way to interpret *that* little statement.

".... I never lie my sweet Heero." Duo caressed Heero's cheek once more.

Heero held the gaze of his love. "But how can you be sure?"

Duo smiled at his Koi. "Because this is true love.... You think this happens every day?" Duo winked as his smile widened.

Heero gave a sweet smile of his own as he felt Duo pull him deep into a warm embrace. Lips once more found his and he lost his mind to the pleasure once again. He felt his body stirring and pressed harder against Duo, unsure of what it was he sought but knowing instinctively that Duo held the answer.

Duo could feel the heat rising fast, his own body aching with need but he quelled it. Now was not the time nor the place for things such as that. Once he had made his fortune he would return and claim what was his and it would be all the sweeter for the wait. With one last deep kiss he threw his bag over his shoulder and set off along the road to the harbor and his fortune.

Uncle Howard paused as he turned over the page in the book. "Duo never reached his destination.... His ship was attacked by the Dread Pirate Shinigami.... Who never left any of his captives alive. When the news reached Heero he was devastated....."

"Finally we start to get to the good bit. Pirates are great!" Zechs began to perk up a bit.

Uncle Howard looked over the top of his glasses at his nephew and suppressed a chuckle. Flipping the page he continued....

"Heero was so torn by the news of his lost love that he locked himself inside the small farm house. He didn't ride his horse anymore, he didn't eat and he couldn't sleep for the nightmares of a pirate cutting down his beloved Duo would play themselves continuously in his head."

Zechs rolled his eyes. Great! More sappy stuff.

Heero stared wistfully out the window and down the track that had seen his love walk out of his life. He sighed loudly as the tears began to run freely, tracking over his cheeks and dripping from his chin to the windowsill below where they pooled before being absorbed into the wood. His heart felt like a lump of lead in his chest and the pain was unbearable. Gradually over the passage of time the heaviness eased a little but the pain didn't.

Vibrant cobalt eyes that had burned fiercely with the light of love and passion slowly began to dim and dull until the final flicker of the candle was snuffed out leaving behind two vacant dark blue orbs that were as cold as ice sending chills to the soul of anyone who dared to gaze into them.....
