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 continued support. I like twisty myself, it adds spice to life. And Heero is really trying, I think he’s getting better.

Diane Rainwater: Everybody has blonde moments at some point in time. I’m really glad you liked ‘Dougie’, I thought he was a bit of comic relief after Relena. And I think it’s good for Heero to cry. I think it helps him to heal what’s hurting him inside. They both have a lot of healing to do. And I think they’ve both grown quite a bit over the course of the story. Thanks for your continuing support. I always look forward to your comments.

Rucina: Thanks for continuing to read and to leave me comments. I really appreciate every word that everybody leaves me. So, here’s another little shot of love for you.

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 22

Heero carried his limp lover out to the king-size bed and tucked him in with some tender kisses and an ice pack, then used the phone to call down to the kitchen for some midnight snacks, even though it was closer to 3am.

One of the advantages of the penthouse suite was a private number to a private kitchen that was open all night to cater to the appetites of high priority guests. And tonight, Heero and Duo were of the highest priority.

Heero let Duo doze until the waiter brought the trolley up and he took it at the door, proffering a lavish tip that made the waiter’s eyes positively glow. Then he rolled it to the bed, where he sat and gently started to wave something that was covered in chocolate under Duo's nose. The indigo eyes opened, as did the drooling mouth and Heero dropped the treat in, careful to keep his fingers well away from the still sleepy Duo. Duo sat up, savoring his treat, eyes wide open, staring at the lavish array of delicacies on the trolley in front of him.

“Where did you get all of this?” he asked in amazement.

“What? Has it been so long since you’ve been a star?” asked Heero.

“Huh?” was all Duo could manage to reply.

“This is star treatment. Anything thing you want, anytime you want it,” said Heero. “Didn’t you get that treatment as Shinigami?”

“Hell no!” retorted Duo. “When ever I asked for anything, they just said I was being difficult. And if I insisted on things, my manager would try to sooth everybody and tell them just to let me have my way, I was just a little temperamental, but I really was a good boy and really did work hard.”

“Hn,” was Heero's response. “You just had the wrong manager. The right manager will make sure that you get anything and everything, no questions, no begging, no soothing.”

“You say that like I’m going to be doing this shit again,” said Duo suspiciously. “I quit for a reason.”

“You quit for the wrong reason,” said Heero flatly. “You are fantastic. You were made to be on the stage. You can be even bigger that you ever were.”

“Do you really want to see me like that?” asked Duo. “They’d take me away from you. That’s the first thing that they’d do. They’d never let us be together.”

“That’s were you’re wrong, babe,” said Heero. “Because I’m going to be the one running the Duo Maxwell show from now on. I’m going to be the one that they have to deal with. And I’ll have the backing of W.E.I. behind me. They’ll be your new agent and nobody fucks with W.E.I.”

“You… you’ve already talked to them,” Duo accused. “Without even asking me?”

“No, I haven’t talked to anyone, but don’t you see? That’s what this was all about, babe. Bringing you out into the light. Letting me know just what I really had in you. Not a dog, a bird. A golden song bird,” Heero told him. “He even called you that. ‘The beautiful song bird that you are’. This is what they want.”

“But what about those death treats to Quatre and all of that? Was that just bullshit?” Duo asked.

“No. That’s all too real and we have to deal with that trash first,” said Heero. “But when we’ve cleaned that mess up, and I have no doubts that we will, you’re going to need a new job, because we can’t keep doing what we’re doing. We’re going to kill each other if we do.”

“And me being a pop star again, with everyone in the world eyeballing me and making passes at me, is going to be better?” Duo retorted.

“Yes,” said Heero, simply. “Because I won’t be hiding behind you anymore. I’ll be right there, in front of you, I’ll be your shield. And I’m a lot more scary were people can see me. They’ll think twice about coming too close to you with me by your side. It’ll be a whole lot better. And we’ll have a lot more freedom. No more lurking and hiding in the shadows.”

“Well,” said Duo, still holding some reservations. “I’ll think about it.”

They had managed to eat their way through most of the little sandwiches and snacks and drink the delicious coffee that had come with it and now Duo was ready to lay back and relax. But Heero had different plans, now that Duo was awake once more.

Duo snuggle down into the blankets with his pillows, giving a contented sigh as Heero pushed the trolley out of the door, but his contentment was short lived as the blanket was abruptly pulled off of his naked body.

“That’s better,” said Heero, peering down at him from the foot of the bed. “How do you expect me to play with you when you’re all covered up?”

“Aren’t you tired yet?” asked Duo, trying to stifle a yawn.

“No, just horny. After all, I’ve got this gorgeous sextoy in my bed, after all,” returned Heero, dropping his clothes at the foot of the bed..

“Sextoy?” squawked Duo. “Sextoy!?!”

“Ummm… sextoy,” purred Heero, crawling up on the bed, pushing Duo's legs apart, running his hands up the insides of his thighs.

Duo shivered a the sound of Heero's voice and his cock started to stir. Damn, it took so little for Heero to arouse him. Just the sound of his voice could do it, especially when he was being seductive, as he was now. Then Heero's head dipped down and he began the foreplay that he had skipped earlier in his need to feel Duo's flesh around his.

His tongue left wet trails of fire up the inside of Duo's thighs and his hands gently caressed and massaged Duo's hips and upper legs, holding him down when his hips started to move lightly. His warm breath bathed Duo's now complete erection and he ran his tongue along the big vein on the underside, from base to tip, then let his tongue swirl around the top and caress the slit, eliciting a deep moan of pleasure from Duo.

Duo's hands tangled themselves in Heero's silky hair as Heero opened his mouth and completely engulfed Duo, relaxing his throat to take Duo's length all the way to the base, his hands keeping Duo from pushing harder into his throat. He swallowed convulsively, then pulled back to breath, sucking hard as he withdrew. Duo almost screamed in his pleasure. Heero gave several short sucks to the head of his cock and licked at it like a lollypop, tongue swirling around the crown and across the slit before repeating the deep throat once more. It only took Heero a few minutes before he brought Duo to the edge. Heero could feel him starting to tighten up, almost ready to fall over the edge, and then he pulled away, leaving him hanging. Duo screamed in outrage.

“Not yet, babe,” Heero said softly, caressing his thrusting hips. “I want you to wait for me.”

“Bastard,” Duo finally managed to get out.

“Aw, sweetheart, that’s not how you really feel, is it?” Heero teased, leaning forward for a kiss.

As he captured Duo's mouth, one of his hands moved to caress Duo's heavy, aching balls, fondling the sac gently, then sliding under it to tease at the muscles of his opening. They were still quite loose and Duo was still wet with Heero's seed, so all he needed to do was push gently to gain entry, which he did easily.

His questing fingers quickly found Duo's prostate and they stroked it lightly and Duo writhed under Heero, white heat radiating through out his body once more, stars exploding behind his eyes again.

Heero knew he was very close to orgasm once more, so pulled out his fingers and lined up his hard, weeping cock with Duo's entrance. A gentle push was all that was needed to sheathe himself completely and a few seconds were all Duo needed to adjust.

Duo raised his legs to wrap them around the back of Heero's thighs, pulling him in deeper and Heero started to move. They both wrapped arms around each other, bodies moving in time with each other, mouths coming together for kisses, then parting to find the skin of each other’s necks and shoulders briefly before coming back together again. Duo’s erection was trapped tightly between them and the rubbing of Heero's body against it was just enough to bring the highly aroused organ to peak. Duo could feel the climax building in his balls, and it seemed to rage through him, starting from his toes, like a tidal wave of sensation. His muscles clamped down hard on Heero's cock, his legs locked Heero tightly into his body and his arms clenched Heero to his chest while his mouth left a large red mark on Heero's neck.

Heero stayed his love making, held tight as he was, his hips thrusting gently a few times to no real effect, and he rode the crest of Duo's orgasm to it’s completion, the rhythmic pulsing of the muscles of Duo's inner walls caressing his cock and pulling him closer to his own climax. When Duo finally relaxed enough for him to resume motion, a few long, hard strokes were all it took for Heero to join Duo in his orgasmic bliss.

Sweat dripped off of his body and he could feel his softening cock starting to slide out, so he pulled away and rolled off of his panting lover, drawing him back into his arms to cuddle in the afterglow of their love once more.

The two fell asleep, unable to move enough to even pull a sheet over their sated bodies, let along clean themselves up some.

When next they awoke the sun was up and Duo was feeling a bit stiff and sore, not to mention sticky. His face hurt and he dreaded looking at himself in the mirror. Heero had managed to get in some very heavy, anger filled hits before Trowa pulled him off of Duo, harder then the slaps he usually gave Duo when he was angry. At one point Duo had felt as if he was going to go down on top of the stupid girl he was protecting. That would have really been a disaster. But he’d managed to keep his feet somehow. Then Trowa had pulled Heero off, thankfully. Duo wasn’t too sure if he could have taken too many more of those hits.

And his ass was tender. Heero had given him quite a workout in the sex department. Apparently the aggression had triggered Heero's testosterone and made him horny as hell, because he was hard to satisfy last night, taking Duo hard and fast almost as soon as they got into the room. And he’d kept it up most of the night. Not that Duo was complaining. Actually, Heero was a very considerate lover and took pains to make sure that Duo got as much pleasure from their lovemaking as he did, so it was mutual pleasure, but it was still Duo's ass that was sore.

A shower, a long, hot shower would be great right about now, Duo thought. He stretched, shifting in Heero's arms, only to feel those arms tighten around him once more.

“Going somewhere, beautiful?” Heero's voice whispered against his neck, a soft kiss punctuating the question.

“Shower?” asked Duo, hopefully.

“Mmmm…” Heero growled softly. “I’m not done with you yet. We still have some play time before check out and I intend to use it well.”

Heero rolled to his back and pulled Duo over on top of himself, fingers wading through the curtain of hair that enveloped them as their mouth’s met hungrily. His hands stroked down Duo's back gently, caressing his tight ass, then pulling him down hard against himself, thrusting his arousal up against Duo's own burgeoning erection.

Duo let his legs fall to either side of Heero's body and Heero's questing fingers quickly made their was to his opening, teasing and touching just enough to make Duo squirm with desire again. Breaking from the kiss, Duo pushed himself up to kneel over Heero, reaching for the cock that was once more rock hard and ready. Because he could no longer deny Heero anything he asked of him, Duo let him enter his warm, willing body once more.

“Mine,” whispered Heero softly, caressing the silken skin of his captive bird. “Mine, always. Forever. No one else’s.”

And Duo felt the remaining fragment of the walls that surrounded his heart crumble to dust. He surrendered himself completely to Heero, his resistance evaporating and peace surfeited his entire being.

“Always yours, only yours,” he agreed, love and wonder lighting his beautiful indigo eyes.

“So beautiful,” said Heero. “You are so beautiful, Duo Maxwell. I love you so much.” And Heero pulled him down into a tender kiss.

They came together like two worlds colliding. Sparks flew and they shattered against each other. Duo crumbled into Heero completely. Heero drew him deep into his inner core and their hearts reformed, entwined together, feeling as if they were nearing the ultimate pinnacle of their love, that they were becoming totally and completely inseparable from each other, committed to each other and only to each other.

Heero rolled them gently, coming to rest on his unresisting lover, and his hips began to move slowly, his lovemaking soft and gentle, his kisses deep and passionate. And Duo responded avidly, opening himself completely to his lover, drawing him deeper and deeper into his being.

As Heero felt himself nearing climax once more, his hand slid down between their moving bodies to grasp and stroke Duo's weeping cock. The stimulation succeeded in pulling Duo over the edge and he released his passion into Heero's demanding hand, spilling onto his own heated flesh. His channel closed around Heero's aching cock, pulsing around it in torturous pleasure, ripping Heero's orgasm out of his body as he fell into mindless bliss. He collapsed onto his lover’s shaking body, gasping, while the wave of his contentment broke over him.

He pushed himself up, kissed Duo tenderly, pulled his softened cock from Duo's sated body and rolled to his back, pulling his contented lover into his arms.

Duo snuggled closer, resting his head on Heero's chest, listening to his heartbeat, feeling contented in the afterglow of their lovemaking. He has just started to doze when he felt Heero's lips brushing his hair and the deep rumbling of his voice under his ear.

“Hey, beautiful, ready to get up and get going?” Heero asked softly.

“Ummm… Shower? Food?” Duo asked, indigo eyes looking hopeful.

“What ever you want, babe,” Heero answered. “Your wish is my command.”

He stretched and rolled out of the rumpled bed, then held out his hand to his languid lover, pulling him to his feet and into his arms for a lingering kiss.

Once in the shower, Heero, having helped Duo pin up his long hair to keep it dry, attacked his body with a soapy cloth. He lingered briefly on his nether regions, but resisted the impulse to take his lover one more time under the running water. He washed himself quickly as Duo relaxed under the hot running water, soothing his aching muscles.

Finally finished with the shower, Heero went to dress while Duo attended to his hair. Heero almost lost his resolve when a still damp, naked Duo walked out of the bathroom in search of his clothing. Heero grabbed him and threw him to the bed, hands and mouth taking advantage of the exposed skin. He rubbed his crotch against Duo's thigh, then, through sheer will power, pulled himself away from the winsome beauty.

Duo quickly dressed and followed Heero out the door of the sumptuous suite, the prospect of breakfast, or actually lunch, as late as they were getting out of bed, making his indigo eyes glow.

Holding hands, Heero took his lover to the dining room, requesting a secluded table so as to shield Duo from the gaping looks of the other patrons, because of the bruising on his face. Duo simply ignored everyone around him, concentrating on his menu, visions of lunch dancing through his head.

As they sat waiting for the waitress, Heero's fingers gently brushed over the dark purple marks, pain evident in his face. At least this time it hadn’t been Duo provoking him, but still he had hurt his lover. That stupid girl hadn’t been worth the pain he’d inflicted, but she had made him so damned mad with the accusations she cast at Duo. And Duo had protected her.

“Stop,” said Duo.

“What?” responded Heero, lost in his musings.

“Stop blaming yourself. I know what you’re thinking,” said Duo gently, taking his hand. “You didn’t do this to me on purpose or out of anger towards me. So just stop it.”

“You’re too forgiving,” said Heero, softly. “No matter what, you always forgive me. I don’t know what I ever did to deserve you.”

“You made me fall in love with you,” said Duo, simply. “You never gave up in your pursuit of me. You loved me and made me love you in return. Now, let’s order. The waitress is here.” Duo's eyes lit up brightly.

Heero smiled and waited while Duo gave his huge order to the woman, then ordered a modest lunch for himself. Duo was humming happily, making little designs on the back of Heero's hand while they waited for their drinks. Even with the horrible bruising on his face, it was evident that he was very happy at the moment.

Their lunches finally arrived and Heero was amazed at the amount of food that his lithe lover was able to put away and still have room for dessert. He looked hopefully at Heero when the waitress pushed the dessert trolley to their table and beamed when Heero nodded his consent. He chose two, a rich chocolate cake and a small fruit tart, and dug in greedily. Heero smiled softly. Sometimes it took so little to make Duo happy. He wished it could always be that simple, but he knew that any ride with Duo Maxwell was bound to have some bumps in it, and the best that he could do was to try to steer around the most noticeable ones and ride out the others. Overall, he felt he’d been doing alright. They hadn’t killed each other yet. And it was never dull.

Finally full, Duo pushed his plate away and slumped down in his chair, sleepy and content.

“Shall we go home, babe?” Heero asked.

“Yeah. Home sounds good,” responded Duo.

“You look like you need a nap,” Heero observed.

“Yeah, I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. Some hot hunk kept me awake most of the night,” said Duo.

“Complaining?” asked Heero, archly.

“Never,” vowed Duo. “He was worth it. And he made me some very nice promises.”

“Promises?” asked Heero. “Such as?”

“Keeping me happy, protecting me from the man-eaters and loving me to distraction forever,” replied Duo.

“Sounds like the kind of guy you need to hang on to. Should I step aside for him?” Heero teased.

“No. His promises were nice and he was hot and good in bed, but I think I’ll stay with the man that I know loves me,” said Duo, a smile on his face. “You don’t need to make me sweet promises. You’ve already given me everything I could ever want.”

“Thank you, babe,” said Heero softly. “That means a lot to me. Let me take you home, beautiful, and I’ll show you just how much I love you.”

Heero stood, took his lover’s hand, and the happy couple went in search of their car, ready for the events of the weekend to be over.
