Feedback is appreciated. I enjoy hearing from all of my readers. That you take the time to read is great, that you take the time to write is awesome. You are what makes writing worth while. I hope that you enjoy reading it and I look forward to your comments.

My sincere thanks to the following:

snappy pants: Thanks for the review. I love that song and thought it fit the occasion well.

Diane Rainwater: Shiny things will do that to you. Thanks for your continued support, it means a lot to me.
RE: 19: He wore the outfit he got at the mall the night they went to dinner and the movies. Heero really is trying, and Duo does take his training very seriously. Sometimes I think they are both just a bit paranoid, but I guess an assassin would need to be. I didn’t want to go into great detail on what other people were saying, so came up with that as a way to throw in comments without really going in depth. Kink may be happening later, I’ll have to think on that. As for typos, yeah, my head was stuffed with fluff that day, I suppose.
RE: 20: I wanted something touching after the violence, to show that they really do care a lot. I love that song and it worked out well. And yeah, Quatre can be a bit blonde, all things considered. I’m flattered that you feel this way about this chapter. I hope you like the next one as well. I want to keep things moving and interesting.

Rucina: Here is a little fix for you. Hope it satisfies your craving. And get ready for some more twists. There are a lot of curves in the road ahead. Thanks for reading.

Fujin: Twists are what I do best, right after angst. I wanted Duo to have a job that was completely unexpected. And that song seemed to be the epitome of love songs for him to sing. ‘The Last Song’ that I had in mind when I wrote that chapter was the one by The All-American Rejects. I love that song as well. It seemed to fit as his swan song. And I’m afraid that I really have made Quatre the quintessential blonde for my story. But it makes for some nice reading. And I’m glad you liked the “party chat”, it was fun to write. Thanks for all of the nice comments.

Pull the Trigger and the Nightmare Stops…

“dear my friends in the time we've spent forever after beyond this when will our nightmare ever end?
pull the trigger and the nightmare stops...”

Part 21

They crossed the ballroom hand in hand, but before they could reach the large double doors they were confronted by a very drunk and belligerent Relena.

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t Mr Heero-fucking-Yuy and his little slut of a wife,” she sneered. “Shinigami. I’ve heard all of the rumors about you, you little slut. And I bet that they’re all true, aren’t they? Have you told your precious Heero about all of the guys you fucked on your way to the top? The list seems to be endless.”

Duo went pale at the false accusations and he started to shake. He knew all to well that when he was concerned, Heero could lose all sense of reason and act uncontrollably. This was something their relationship definitely did not need right now, a jealous girl trying to tear them apart for her own satisfaction.

“You lying, fucking little bitch,” Heero growled, his face going cold with rage and he reached out a hand for her, left fist reaching to grab the unsuspecting girl and the right drawing back in a pose all too familiar to Duo, but Duo grabbed him before he could do anything.

“No, Heero,” he gasped. “Please don’t.”

“Yeah. Beg, whore. It’s what you do best, isn’t it? Beg a man for his favors,” Relena sneered once more, staggering slightly. “I guess you’re a good fuck, though. After all, you’ve had lots of practice, haven’t you?”

Duo could sense Heero's rage building, and threw himself between the two just as Heero's hand came slashing at the drunk girl’s face, thankfully a slap instead of a punch with his fist. Duo took the hit full in the face and stood, shaking, confronting the enraged Heero.

“Me, not her, Heero,” he said, standing before Relena with his arms spread. “Hit me if you need to.”

And Heero's back hand sent the two crashing into the wall, Duo turning to brace himself so as not to crush the stumbling and befuddled girl. Relena sank to the floor sobbing as the full realization of Heero's anger washed over her. A crowd quickly gathered but none were brave enough to try and stop the enraged man, and Heero once more slapped Duo full across the face as he pushed himself away from the wall. Blood started to flow from a split lip, but still Duo stood over the crying girl, protecting her from Heero's wrath. Just as Heero was readying for another stinging slap, Trowa grabbed him from behind and pinned his arms to his side.

“Enough, Yuy,” he barked. “That’s enough.”

Heero gave one hard pull, then slumped back against Trowa in acquiesce. Quatre darted in to gather the shaking Duo into his arms. He spared Relena a scathing glance before giving all of his attention to Duo.

“Get her out of here,” he snapped, not bothering to watch and see if his order was obeyed. “I’ll have Simon deal with her on Monday.” Then he led Duo out of the ballroom and into the neighboring bar. Duo had finally started to cry as the relief washed over him.

Heero pulled way from Trowa, following Quatre and Duo into the dark bar, his anger abated, and chagrin consuming him. He pulled his lover into his arms, holding him tightly, stroking his hair and kissing his forehead. He whispered softly into Duo's ear, begging, pleading.

“Baby. Babe, I’m so sorry. It wasn’t you. It wasn’t you that I wanted to hit. I know you weren’t like that. I know it. You have never lied to me. I believe you. I know that there were never any other men. I trust you. It wasn’t you that I was angry with. Please believe me,” Heero pleaded, anguish in his voice, hating himself for what he had just done in his blind fury.

“I know, 'Ro,” Duo answered. “I just couldn’t let you hit that girl. You would have killed her. Better you hit me. I’m used to it.”

“My god, Duo,” Heero cried, crushing him to his chest. “Have I hit you that often, sweetheart, that you can say that you’re used to it?”

“Enough,” replied Duo, calmly, holding tightly to him. “But I understand. It’s just a part of living with you, loving you.”

“It shouldn’t be,” Heero whispered. “Hurting you shouldn’t be part of my love. Ah, Duo, why do I do these things to you?”

“Dunno,” Duo said, shrugging. “It’s just what happens sometimes.”

Quatre approached the pair with an ice filled towel for Duo's eye and lip, and took back the handkerchief he’d used to staunch the flow of blood from Duo's lip.

“Thanks, Q. That feels good,” Duo sighed, and sat down, pulling Heero down on the seat next to him. “That girl, she’s the one from your office, the one that demanded that you take her to that barbeque, wasn’t she? The one that thought you needed a girlfriend and that it should be her.”

“Yeah, that was her. Relena,” Heero answered tiredly as the adrenalin that had been rushing through his veins left him. “She’s been a pain in my ass from the very start. Always trying to get me to go on dates with her, take her places. Hell, she cornered me and tried to kiss me at the office Christmas party. She just won’t take no for an answer. She’s the main reason why I stopped going to any work related functions.”

“Relena giving you trouble again, Heero?” came Sally's voice from the door of the bar as she entered with WuFei.

“Damn, Yuy,” WuFei commented. “I know that girl deserved punishment for the trouble she was trying to cause, but trying to kill her?”

“I know, Chang,” Heero answered. “ She just…”

“That girl always swore that one day she was going to be Mrs Heero Yuy,” said Sally. “Too bad that she didn’t know what I knew. That there already was a Mrs Heero Yuy, that ‘she’ was a really cute boy and that Heero was quite content with his alternative lifestyle and didn’t require a girl in his life. He just needed his wife to come home to him. Are you okay, Duo? Heero packs a really mean swing there.”

Sally reached out to tip Duo's face up in the dim light, inspecting the damage that Heero had inflicted. Strangely, it didn’t seem to bother Heero as she handled his lover in a practical and familiar way. It had to be her medical background that reassured him. She ran her fingers over Duo's cheek bone and touched his split lip, then stroked his cheek with the back of her hand.

“No stitches are needed, though there’s some swelling. The ice will help that. You’ll have a nice black eye, though,” she said. “Relena should thank her lucky stars that you were between her and Heero, or she would most likely be in the intensive care unit right about now. You’re one tough cookie, Duo. Well, WuFei and I have to be off now. Heero, take care of our boy. I don’t want to know about anymore black eyes.”

She stared at Heero sternly for a moment, a knowing look in her glance. Heero looked down, abashed at her knowledge of their domestic differences, then looked her in the eye and nodded. She smiled and laughed softly, then she and WuFei bid the four a good night and they departed hand in hand.

“That’s one hell of a woman,” Trowa commented. “WuFei will do well with her, I think.”

“She’s one of father’s best,” replied Quatre. “She’s been with the company for a long time and has worked hard to reach the position she’s in. My father respects her.”

“She’s the best person in this company,” said Heero. “Too bad we can’t clone her. We could use more practical, down to earth people, instead of all of those flighty, brainless girls that seem to always be underfoot and serving no real purpose.”

“I like her. She’s nice,” Duo simply said, then sighed. “Heero, can we go up to our room now? I’m kind of tired.”

“Sure, babe,” Heero replied. “Let’s go check in.”

They took leave of Quatre and Trowa and headed back for the lobby so that Heero could get their room key.

~*~

Heero had left Duo sitting in the lobby, ensconced in a comfortable chair with his ice pack for company, then went to talk to the girl at the registration desk. In just that short time, however, a predator honed in on Duo, seeing him alone and seemingly vulnerable, noting his condition. He marked Duo as a likely target, seemingly easy pickings. The predator prepared to take Duo by storm, sweeping him away with comforting words and sympathy, then using the vulnerable boy to slake his desire before leaving him discarded and broken. The predator was in for a rude awakening. He’d never dealt with someone like Duo Maxwell before.

“Hello, beautiful,” he said in a silky voice. “It’s a shame to see someone as gorgeous as you sitting here all alone. You been dumped by an angry boyfriend or something? Been in a fight? How about having a drink with me? You look like you could use a little pain killer. Why don’t you let me provide you with some comfort?”

“You got a name, stud?” asked Duo, eyeing the man speculatively. He wasn’t all that bad looking, but radiated an aura of oily distastefulness.

“Doug. Doug Riker,” the predator responded smoothly. This seemed to be going well. The boy had asked his name, and not told him to get lost. The night was looking up for Doug Riker.

“Well, Doug, Doug Riker. May I call you Dougie? So, Dougie, what makes you think that I need your company, or comfort, for that matter?” Duo asked flippantly.

“You just looked lonely, sitting here all by yourself and what with the way someone has already treated you, I thought I’d offer a little… comfort, if you know what I mean,” Doug said smoothly.

Just then Heero walked up, key in hand, and took note of the situation, a frown on his face.

“Is there a problem here, babe?” he asked softly.

“Beat it, buddy. He’s already spoken for,” said Dougie, arrogantly. “I’m taking care of him now. Go hit on somebody else.”

Heero's face started to darken, his eye’s going cold and flat. He gave the predator a death glare, and shifted his stance ever so slightly, preparing to do battle, but Duo quickly intervened, not wanting another interruption of his romp with Heero by something so mundane as a fist fight in the lobby of a swank hotel. He stood and stepped between the two men.

“Say, Dougie, how ‘bout I introduce you to Heero Yuy, here,” Duo said. “My husband,” and he flashed his wedding ring at the stunned man as he slipped into Heero's arms.

“Husband?” said Doug, paling noticeably.

“Yeah, as in legally wedded husband,” replied Duo, smirking at him. “So, you see, Dougie, I’m not all that lonely, not as long as I have a hunk like Heero Yuy to entertain me and to take care of all of my, ah, needs, so to speak. Guess I won’t be needing your company or comfort, so why don’t you shove off now, Dougie? 'Cos I think Heero would much rather spend the rest of the night fucking my ass rather then sitting on his ass in a jail cell for kicking your ass. I’ve already kept him from killing one person tonight, I don’t feel like doing it again. Your sorry ass just isn’t worth it.”

Duo tossed his head as he turned away from the predator, his long chestnut hair swirling around him like a veil. Heero dropped his arms from around his flighty lover, took his hand and escorted him to the waiting lifts, leaving a stunned Doug Riker staring after them stupidly, mouth gaping open and closed like a fish out of water.

Heero pulled Duo into his arms once more as the lift doors closed on them and he punched the button for the top floor.

“Just can’t take my eyes off of you, can I?” he whispered into Duo's ear. “They just come crawling out of the walls after you, don’t they?”

“Not my fault,” gasped Duo as Heero's hands reached his shapely ass and pulled him up hard against his burgeoning erection. “You make me this way.”

“Me? How do you figure I make you this way?” Heero asked, nuzzling just below Duo's ear.

“You make me so horny, and they can smell it, like sharks,” Duo panted.

“So, you’re saying that you’re like bait? Just dangling there in front of all of those hungry sharks?” Heero growled.

“Yeah,” Duo agreed. “It’s like blood in the water, drives them into a frenzy.”

“Then I guess I’d better reel you in before they try to eat you alive, because the only one who gets even a bite of your delectable carcass is me,” Heero hissed, sinking his teeth into the soft flesh of Duo neck, then sucked hard, leaving a vivid red mark across his fair skin.

Duo moaned and his hands grasped at Heero's arms as he shuddered in desire. The lift doors opened at their floor and Heero swept Duo up into his arms, carrying his lover to the door of their suite, anticipation making him eager.

Balancing Duo carefully, Heero managed to get the door open without having to sit down his precious burden. He then proceeded to the king-size bed that dominated the adjoining room and gently tossed his long haired lover into the middle, then started to strip off his own clothes, dropping them in an untidy pile on the floor.

Duo lay quietly, watching as Heero advance on him, lust showing in his eyes. He quickly pulled off Duo's clothes, tossing them into a heap on the floor with his own. Heero wasn’t interested in seduction or taking his time at the moment. He only wanted Duo naked and under him as soon as humanly possible. His hard, aching cock was leaking precum as he reached for the lube he had pulled out of his pocket and tossed to the bed before discarding his pants on the floor.

He spread Duo's legs and squeezed some of the lube onto his fingers, then quickly introduced the slick fingers into Duo's eagerly waiting channel. Duo was completely relaxed and eager to have Heero inside of him. He lifted his hips to allow Heero easier access, moaning softly as he felt himself being rapidly prepared. His own cock was hard and aching, precum leaking from the slit in the crown onto his own tight stomach. He reached for himself as Heero guided his ready cock to the now slick entrance.

The swollen head pushed past the ring of muscle easily and Heero sheathed himself in one smooth thrust. Duo cried out as Heero began to move immediately. Heero put his hands on the back of Duo's thighs and pushed his legs up, then let them slid down his arms until Duo's knees rested in the crooks of his elbows as he knelt before him. This allowed him deeper penetration and also let him watch Duo's hand stroke himself, as well as watching his own cock sliding in and out of Duo's tight passage. Heero hips arched and flexed, his thrusts almost pulling completely out before making the return stroke, moving hard, fast and deep, hitting Duo's sweet spot nearly every time.

Soon all Duo could do was gasp and cry out in his pleasure, writhing under Heero's continuous onslaught, unable to do anything, his hand grasping at himself ineffectively. Heero smiled and continued the assault on Duo's senses. He could feel Duo building up to his completion as the muscles of Duo’s ass tighten around his swollen cock, starting to clamp down rhythmically. Heero knew that it wouldn’t be long before he pushed Duo over the edge.

Duo now had himself clamped down so tightly, Heero could hardly move, but he still managed to brush against Duo's sweet spot with small thrusts, as deeply as he was buried in the hot flesh before him. Duo screamed as his orgasm tore through his body and he arched hard against Heero's body. Heero stilled as he rode out the waves of Duo's climax. He watched as the thick, white fluid spurted from the slit in Duo's cock, bathing his stomach and chest. Then Duo slumped back onto the bed. Heero let his legs slide down to the bed and leaned forward, holding himself up on his arms, hands next to Duo's limp body, driving his still hard cock deep into Duo's unresisting channel. Duo could only moan softly in response. Heero resumed his relentless driving, heading rapidly to the precipice himself. He paused for an instant, then thrust one last time, burying himself deeply, his hot seed pumping into Duo's willing body, before he collapsed on top of his lover, spent.

He felt Duo's arms tighten around him, then Duo stirred slightly under him, dislodging his softening cock from his sated body, but Heero held on tightly to his lover who was clinging to his warmth. Heero kissed him gently, stroking the hair back from his face, fingers tracing the bruising that was starting to show on Duo's cheek and around his eye, and a tear splashed onto Duo's face.

“Hey,” Duo whispered. “Stop that. You didn’t mean to hurt me. It wasn’t me you were angry at. That girl…”

“I know, but it’s always you that I hurt,” Heero sniffed. “I lose it and I can’t control the rage. I wanted to kill her for what she was saying about you. The lies…” More tears fell.

“As long as you know that they were lies,” replied Duo, “it was worth it. Besides I couldn’t let you go to jail for that piece of trash. If you want to kill her, you need to do it less publicly, you know?”

Heero gaped at him, then laughed, tears brushed aside.

“Ah, babe, you have a real sick sense of humor, you know that?” Heero said when he finally quit laughing, rolling off of Duo and pulling him close to cuddle. “No, I think I’ll let her stay alive and let her see how happy you make me. That’ll be a much better way to punish her.”

“Talk about me,” said Duo, then proceeded to kiss Heero, crawling on top of him and rubbing against him suggestively.

Heero finally broke away from the kiss with a gasp and rolled Duo off, pinning him securely to the bed so that he could nibble at his neck and ears. Duo wiggled enticingly under him.

“How about a nice long shower?” Heero breathed into the ear that he was currently nibbling on. He took the little moan as an affirmation and rose from the bed, pulling Duo up into his arms. The suite’s shower was nice and roomy, with a ready supply of hot water and some really nice hair and body products. The two spent the better part of an hour washing Duo’s long chestnut hair and each other’s bodies before indulging is some seriously wet sex that once again left them breathless and sated for the moment.
