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 35


Duo awoke sometime later, blinked a sleepy eye at the clock and realized that it was only half past nine. He gave great thought to simply rolling over and going back to sleep, but the pressure on his bladder made him think otherwise. Crawling out of his warm bed, he gave fleeting thought as to where Heero might have gotten off to, but that also took a backseat to his more pressing need.

Staggering into the bathroom, he relieved himself with a sigh. That need taken care of, he washed his hands and then splashed cold water on to his face to wake himself up completely. He was in his new home and the excitement of exploring the vast premises, both inside and out, suddenly took precedence in his mind. Going back to sleep now was simply out of the question.

Finished in the bathroom, he made his way over to the dresser where Heero had put his clothes. He made a face at the single pair of pants and the lone shirt that sat in the drawer. The rest of his clothes, along with the ones Heero had worn, were in a rumple heap, waiting to be laundered. After today, he would have nothing clean to wear, he thought, snorting gently to himself.

This just would not do. It reminded him too much of the days before he found Heero again, the days when he had walked away from his previous life with nothing but the clothes on his back. And he didn’t like that feeling. Heero was going to have to take him shopping. He needed more than just the three sets of clothing that he now had. Finding Heero and informing him of this pressing need suddenly became more important than exploring his new surrounds. He could explore at his leisure. Shopping was imperative.

Sitting on the bed, Duo managed to get his pants pulled on, zipped and buttoned, but the shirt was just too much. He still didn’t have the freedom of moving his right shoulder without a sharp pain shooting through it. Damn. He needed Heero for that and who knew where the man had gotten off to. He’d better not be off exploring without Duo! That would just not do at all.

Pausing in his musing for a moment, Duo thought he heard the murmur of voices from outside his window. He crossed the room and stepped out into the small atrium that enclosed part of the balcony. Looking out of the window he saw Heero sitting on the patio below, sipping a cup of coffee.

Suddenly, Duo's tummy gave a loud gurgle, and food became the number one priority in his life. Shopping, exploring, that could all wait. Breakfast was what he needed most of all at this moment in time.

Opening the door to the outside balcony, he stepped out, shirt still in hand, and called out to his lover.

“Hey, 'Ro, wha’cha doin’?” Duo's cheerful voice rang out in the quiet morning air and he bounced his way down the staircase.

“Morning, babe,” came Heero's response as he turned towards his lover. He raised an eyebrow as Duo came to him, bare chested, waving his shirt.

“Couldn’t get it on. I got the pants done up, but the shirt just wouldn’t cooperate,” Duo explained before Heero had a chance to ask him.

“I see,” Heero replied. “Here, let me help you.”

After a bit of maneuvering, Heero managed to get the shirt on Duo without too much pain inflicted on the injured shoulder. Then he pulled his lover into his arms to give him a warm good morning kiss.

“I’m so glad we are out of that damned car,” Duo whispered with a sigh and snuggled closer, burying his head into Heero's shoulder and tightening his grip around his waist. “I don’t think I could have taken another day in it.”

“Me, either,” murmured Heero, kissing the slender white neck that was so temptingly close.

“Have I told you today how much I love you?” Duo asked as he raised his head up to look into Heero's dark blue eyes, basking in the glow he saw there.

“I think you just did, but I’d like to hear it again,” Heero answered, placing a light kiss on Duo's lips.

“I love you more than anything, 'Ro,” said Duo, melting into another kiss.

Then his stomach growled loudly and the loving mood was broken. The young men broke apart with a laugh and Heero pulled Duo over to the table and sat him down.

“I’ll go see if I can find Berta and see if we can get some breakfast,” he said, still chuckling.

As he turned towards the kitchen door, the woman in question stepped out.

~*~

Berta had been humming softly to herself as she moved around the kitchen, planning what to serve for lunch and, later on, dinner. It was going to be nice to have guests to look after and the two gentlemen seemed as if they would be a very low maintenance pair to look after. She had already assembled some of the food she was going to make them for breakfast and was just waiting for Mr Yuy to let her know that Mr Duo had come down and that they were ready, when she heard voices on the patio.

‘Mr Duo must be up and about,’ she thought to herself. ‘Let’s see if they are ready for breakfast.’

She was at the kitchen door and just about to open it when she saw Heero pull Duo into his arms. The kisses and looks that the two exchanged confirmed her belief that the two men were a strongly committed couple.

A smile spread over her face at the tender interplay between the two. She shook her head, knowing that the bedazzled girl, Trisha, had no chance at all of catching the eye of the handsome Mr Yuy, no matter how hard she might try. It was going to be a chore, keeping the girl in check, and not bothering the guests, but almost every girl had an unrequited love at sometime in her life. Trisha would just have to learn to live with the fact that the man was not interested in girls in general or her specifically. But that was a chore for another day.

The laughter from the two on the patio as they moved to the table signaled to her that she could go out and see about getting the two men fed.

~*~

“Ah, Berta, I was just coming in to see you about some breakfast,” said Heero, meeting the woman half way across the patio.

“Is there anything in particular that you might be wanting?” she asked.

“Pancakes?” asked Duo, hopefully. “And maybe bacon? And eggs?”

“And more coffee, if you please,” added Heero.

“Coming right up,” the housekeeper said, a broad smile on her face. ‘That Mr Duo is such a charmer, especially when he smiles. Mr Yuy is handsome, granted, but Mr Duo can steal a person’s breath away without even trying,’ she though to herself.

Heero smirked to himself at the effect that Duo was having on the woman. Not even in the house one day and he had her wrapped around his little finger. Heero went back and sat next to his lover, taking Duo's hand in his and squeezing it gently.

The peaceful silence lasted about 30 seconds. Then Duo couldn’t stand the quiet any longer.

“Heero,” he said, somewhat seriously, “I was looking over our wardrobe this morning and it is decidedly lacking.”

“I know,” agreed Heero.

“Heero,” Duo said again, “I think we need to give some serious thought to going out and doing some shopping this afternoon.”

“I agree,” said Heero.

“Now, Heero, don’t try to talk me out of this…” Duo began, then his brain caught up with his mouth. “Wait… what did you just say?”

“I said, I agree,” repeated Heero.

“No way! You never give in to me wanting to go shopping for clothes this easily,” stated Duo, somewhat amazed. “Are you feeling alright?”

“I feel great. I just happen to agree that three sets of clothes are not enough, unless we want to do laundry every other day, which I don’t,” said Heero, smirking at Duo's incredulous expression. “After breakfast, we’ll find a local place to shop. That should hold you over until we can get to a bigger city.”

“Really? That’s great, ‘Ro! Thanks,” said Duo. “I really thought I was going to have to argue a lot and maybe like, I don’t know, offer you sex or something to get what I wanted, ya know?”

Heero just snorted gently at Duo's cheeky remark.

“Wow! I wonder how many stores there are in this one horse town? Do we even know it’s name? I hope they have at least one store that has some up to date clothes.” Duo started to ramble and Heero blocked out most of what he was saying. Duo loved to chatter on about the littlest things and Heero only had to nod and grunt every so often to make him happy. This time was no exception.

Duo rambled on until Berta reappeared with a large tray in her hands. His eyes almost popped out of his head at the sight of the large stack of pancakes. He was almost drooling and could hardly wait for her to finish setting everything out. Needless to say, there was very little conversation as he dug into the scrumptious food.

Heero watched in mild astonishment as Duo made his way through six pancakes, three eggs, a large pile of hash browns and most of the bacon. Heero counted himself lucky to have gotten any breakfast at all. Duo was eating as if he hadn’t been fed in a week.

Finally done, Duo sat back with a satisfied sigh.

“That was great. No offense, 'Ro, but she’s got you beat on pancakes. I thought yours were the best in the world, but I’ve never tasted pancakes as light and fluffy as those,” said Duo, leaning back with a smirk. “I could eat those everyday.”

“And you’d be fat in no time at all, if you did,” replied Heero. “Then what?”

“There’d just be more of me for you to love,” answered Duo flippantly. “But I’m sure you’d work it off of me at night.”

“Hn,” snorted Heero. No use arguing with him. Duo always had an answer for everything. Movement caught his eye as Berta came back outside once more.

She smiled broadly at the sight of the empty platters and the contented looks on the faces of the young men.

“Everything was acceptable, then?” she asked with a glint in her eyes.

“Better than acceptable,” exclaimed Duo. “You are the best! You are a goddess among cooks! I think I’m in love with you. If I wasn’t spoken for by this gorgeous hunk over here, I’d talk you into running away with me.”

“Off with you and your sweet talk, now, Mr Duo,” Berta laughed, and Heero merely shook his head. Duo was definitely feeling better today. That was always a good thing. And shopping would just enhance his good mood all the more.

“Berta, if you could sit for just a moment?” Heero asked.

“Of course, Mr Yuy,” she responded. “What can I do for you boys?”

“I’d like to take my wife shopping, and I thought maybe you could recommend some good places, as well as tell us what is available for transportation,” Heero stated.

“There are a few specialty shops here in Brightly, but nothing big and fancy,” she replied, never even batting an eye at Heero’s open statement regarding Duo's status. “If it’s a large department store or a mall you’ll be wanting, you’d have to make the drive to Ashenbury. That’s about an hour and a half away, but it’s a good sized city as compared to Brightly, with several very nice stores available. As for transport, you just need to see young Jaycee, down in the carriage house. There are several cars available for those living on the estate.”

“Carriage house?” asked Duo. “As in horses and carriages?”

“Yes, Mr Duo. This is a very old estate and it has a carriage house, which has been converted to a garage, as well as a stable block that has become quarters for some of the grounds keepers,” Berta told him.

“But no horses?” asked Duo, somewhat mournfully.

“If you boys would be wanting horses, I’m sure Sully could work something out for you,” replied Berta.

“No need,” interrupted Heero, not wanting the conversation to get more off track then it already was.

“But Heero, I want to see a real horse,” Duo all but whined.

“No horses,” said Heero.

“But Heero…” Duo started, only to be cut off.

“No,” was all that Heero said, but the look he gave Duo spoke large volumes.

“Fine,” grumbled Duo. “No horses.”

Berta snickered to herself, watching the byplay between the two young men. They seemed to have their bantering down to a fine art, each knowing just how far to push the other, it seemed.

“You were saying that we could get a vehicle from the carriage house,” said Heero, returning his attention to Berta. “Where do we find it?”

“Just to the right as you walk from the front door. It’s behind the small stand of aspens. Just see young Jaycee, as I mentioned,” replied Berta. “She can also give you driving directions to wherever you would care to go. Now, if you will excuse me, I have dishes calling to me.”

The woman smiled and stood, gathering the empty breakfast dishes before disappearing into the house once more.

“So, do you want to shower and wash your hair before we go?” Heero asked the petulant Duo.

Suddenly all thoughts of horses and anything else that had been flittering through his head disappeared and Duo grabbed the end of his braid to glare at it.

“Of course. I can’t go out looking for new clothes with the gods only know what in my hair!” he retorted.

“Fine. Let’s go up then,” replied Heero. He stood and held out a hand to his lover and led him to the staircase that took them to the balcony of their suite, and then into the large bathroom.

~*~

“Ah… right there! Harder! Faster!” Duo gasped, water pouring down his face and Heero's cock pounding in his ass.

The shower had started innocently enough, the young men taking turns soaping each other’s bodies teasingly. Then Heero turned Duo and proceeded to lather up his long mass of hair.

Duo closed his eyes blissfully, almost purring in his appreciation and satisfaction. After a good rinse, a handful of cream rinse had been slathered completely through his tresses. Then it was the required waiting time before the final rinse.

And that was when Heero decided to indulge himself a bit. He started with some kisses to the shoulder, stroking his hands down Duo's arms and back up his sides. This earned him a breathy moan.

He pressed up against Duo's back, his rapidly hardening cock sliding easily along the crack of Duo's ass. Heero let his hands slide around to Duo's front, one pressing against his flat, tight belly, the other taking liberties with the perky nipples on the muscular chest, pulling his panting lover’s body even closer to his own.

Duo's head fell back onto Heero's shoulder and Heero took the opportunity to lick his ear, breathing warm air across it and earning him another breathy moan.

Duo couldn’t do too much with his right arm, and so only clutched at the hand that was caressing his belly, but his left easily made it’s way around behind him to caress Heero's side, eventually sliding down his hip and around to Heero's ass.

“Ah, Heero, feels so good,” Duo moaned as the hand on his stomach dipped down to capture his burgeoning erection, bringing him to full hardness in a few heart beats. “More. Please, more…”

“More what, babe?” Heero breathed softly in his ear. “What do you want?”

“Want you,” Duo gasped as Heero's hand began to stoke his hardened flesh.

“What do you want me to do, babe?” Heero teased.

“Want you to fuck me,” Duo panted. “Want to feel you inside me… been too long…”

“What ever you want, love,” Heero murmured, and the hand on Duo's chest made its way around to his back, gathering some of the conditioner from his hair as it went. Duo gasped as two fingers plunged quickly inside of him. He usually had no problem with a quick prep, but it had been several days since they had last made love and Heero was in a bit of a hurry.

However, despite the brief shot of pain, Duo made no complaint, merely spreading his legs a bit further apart to give Heero easier access to his passage. The hand that had been caressing Heero's ass now went to the wall in front of him as he tried to give himself some support for the onslaught that he knew was soon to follow. When Heero started a prep with two fingers, a hard dick was soon to follow. And Duo was not disappointed.

Heero pulled away his hand, gather a bit more of the conditioner, slathered it on himself, then positioned his aching cock against Duo's opening. He pushed gently at first, breaching the tight muscles with the head of his cock, but as soon as it was in, he pushed hard to sheath himself completely. At Duo's gasp and spasm, he stilled to let the other adjust and to make sure he didn’t come immediately. It had been too long in his mind and he wanted this to last for more than a few seconds after all.

When he felt that Duo was ready, Heero grasped his hips and started to thrust. It felt so good, being inside of his lover once more; it had been way too long. Heero was soon panting hard, lost in his need to find release. A sharp cry from Duo as he struck his sweet spot brought Heero back down to earth somewhat.

Shifting his stance allowed him to change the angle of penetration so that he was able to hit Duo's prostate with almost every stroke. He soon had Duo arching back hard against him, writhing under his hands. One of Heero's hands slid around to Duo's stomach and the other reached for his erection. The change in position once more caused Heero to start making short, hard jabs into his lover.

The hand on Duo's weeping cock proved to be his undoing. Duo arched back hard, the muscles in his ass tightening around Heero as Duo's orgasm hit. With a scream of sheer pleasure, Duo was spraying his seed into Heero’s hand and onto the shower wall, where it was quickly washed away. Heero continued to pump him until he had nothing more to give.

Now spent, Duo started to slump as his knees grew weak, but Heero wasn’t ready to quit. He pulled out, turned his lover in his arms so that they were now face to face, and reached down to pull Duo's legs to his waist. Duo automatically wrapped his arms around Heero's neck as the man pressed his back to the shower wall.

Now secured, Heero maneuvered Duo into position so that he could re-enter his gasping lover. Once more inside that hot, wet channel, Heero began to thrust his hips, wanting to reach his own release. Duo's channel was still spasming a bit from his own release and that extra bit of stimulation was just enough to push Heero over the edge. With a low cry, he buried himself as deeply within his lover as he could, his seed spilling out to coat Duo's insides with wet heat.

Then Heero collapsed against Duo, momentarily squashing him against the wall before he had the presence of mind to let Duo's feet find the floor and stagger back just a bit, allowing the other to breath once more.

The two men clung together for a few minutes longer, basking in the somewhat wet afterglow before Heero found the strength to stand on his own again. Pulling away from the dazed, bemused Duo, Heero quickly washed away the remaining semen and the conditioner that was still in the other’s hair. Then he turned off the still warm water of the shower. Luckily for them, the house had a large water heater, considering the amount of time that they had just spent in the shower.

Before starting their epic shower, Duo’d had the forethought to pull out several of the large, fluffy towels that he’d found in the nearby airing cupboard the night before when he took his bath so that they didn’t have to worry about dripping all over the bathroom searching for something to dry the two of themselves off and Heero was glad to have them close at hand.

Duo was finally starting to pull out of his haze somewhat, but with his damaged shoulder he was unable to do much in the way of helping. Heero didn’t mind, however. With the pleasure that Duo had just provided him, Heero was ready to take on anything, including Duo's mass of soggy hair.

~*~

It took some time, but the two men were finally dried and dressed and ready to go.

“Heero, I’m hungry. Do you think that we can get lunch from Berta before we go?” asked Duo.

“Already? Tell you what, why don’t I take you out to lunch when we go to town?” Heero countered, amazed once more at his lovers ability to consume mass amounts of food and still stay slender.

“Not that burger place!” Duo exclaimed. After all, he did have some standards where his food was concerned.

“No. we won’t be doing that place ever again,” Heero agreed. “We’ll find a nice little restaurant that is still doing lunch.”

“Alright,” agreed Duo, smiling happily.

Hand in hand, the two descended the stairs and went in search of the carriage house, eager to see some of their new surroundings.


It was quite a bit later that they returned and Heero was laden down with bags from the various shops that they had visited, but at least they now had enough clothing and sundry items to last them for several days. It was nice not feeling as if they had nothing in the world to their names. Duo was certain that he’d had enough of that feeling to last him a lifetime.

They now felt a little better equipped to face this new stage of their lives. By all accounts, it should be interesting.
