The possibility that the candy, received from my anonymous admirer, could have been poisoned was put to rest with Duo’s hearty consumption of the entire thing…well almost all of it. I did manage to take a bite of the sweet treat and now I can’t help feeling as if I shouldn’t have done so. Just accepting it alone is enough to tell my ‘crush’ that I welcome her advances and I do not want to get her hopes in any way. I tried to voice my concerns to Duo, but he brushed it aside by reassuring me that I had nothing to worry about. If the girl (or boy he continues to insist for some reason) continues to send things to me, I’d have to do some thorough investigation, find out who he or she is and possibly have a heart-to-heart talk with him or her.

 

I am definitely not looking forward to that. I really do not do heart-to-heart conversations very well.

 

Fortunately, by the time I was through dealing with the rest of my classes and a rather lengthy meeting with the Council, any and all thoughts of some crush was completely wiped out of my mind. I’m exhausted and only want to crawl into bed and sleep till tomorrow morning. But as I open the door to my apartment, I suddenly remember that Duo had promised to stop by tonight. He had left school with the others while I was still stuck at the meeting and I knew he had gone home with the new motorbike his mother had bought for him a few months back. Remembering the night I had been on that machine with him, has me flushing as I let myself into my quiet home.

 

I’m glad to see that the place isn’t too messy and it looks decent enough to accept visitors, of course this being Duo, I doubt he’ll pay much attention to how tidy or messy my place is. Laughing softly to myself, I peel out of my uniform and change into a pair of jeans and a dark blue sweater. Something bright flashes outside and taking a quick look, I make a face at the drops of rain which begin to fall steadily against my window. It hadn’t even looked that cloudy when walking home earlier. This just goes to show that one can never rely on the weather or weather reports either. I hope Duo makes it safe here. With the way he drives, it’s a miracle he hasn’t gotten into more accidents.

 

I walk into my tiny kitchen and eye the pantry warily. There’s not much in here since I haven’t had the time to do any shopping lately, but I settle for at least making some hot tea and if Duo does get hungry, he can always walk in here to fix himself a sandwich or two. I will admit that I’m feeling a bit excited at finally having Duo all to myself tonight. So yes, it’s a school night and we really shouldn’t be spending so much time with each other but you’ve got to understand where we’re cot to understand where we' Duo all to myself tonight. so oming from. How would you feel if you finally had the chance to see a loved one after three months of physical absence? I can assure you that being apart from him or her for even an hour is definitely torture. Okay, so I guess you all assume that I only want to sleep with him, but that’s just the hormones talking. We really should try to at least have a decent conversation first and foremost.

 

I nod to myself decisively. Yes, we would definitely have to talk first………and naturally, fuck later.

8.45pm:

 

Forty minutes later and I’m currently reading one of the books required for my literature class or at least attempting to. The raining cats and dogs outside and I am a bit worried that Duo hasn’t showed up yet. Sure, I could have called him earlier to find out what he’s up to, but I don’t want to seem like I’m being so…well…needy. If he promised to be here – and he had not really set a particular time – I know he’s going to keep his promise. So why isn’t he here yet? Why hasn’t he called to say he won’t be able to make it? Did something happen to his mother or did she prevent him from leaving the house? Is he caught in the rain and unable to drive? Or dear gods, is he lying on the roadside somewhere bleeding to death and unable to reach me? Okay, I’m really getting paranoid here and will have to stop thinking such morbid thoughts or I’m bound to go crazy!

 

The shrill ring of my telephone shakes me out of my dark reverie and I dive quickly for it, glancing quickly at the caller ID in the hopes that it is Duo on the other end. Yes, it is him and picking up quickly, I all but bark into the phone without betraying my worry and yet relief.

 

“Duo? Just where the hell are you?!”

 

I wince at the loud static that fills my ears and I can clearly hear the sound of rain and thunder in the background. Christ! He really is in an accident!

 

“…bike….ditch….elp…”

 

“What?! Speak up, Duo!” I yell already walking towards my closet to pick out my hooded black raincoat. My heart is racing madly and I cannot stop myself from imagining him lying on the road with his skull cracked open and blood gushing out everywhere. Sorry, I really should stop with the graphic descriptions of dead bodies.

 

“…Lee’s…ore…stuck…eero…”

 

Lee’s Store. I know that place. It’s a small convenient store owned by Mr. Lee and his portly wife. They are a nice couple and like to talk a lot – at least from the few times I’ve visited - but that’s the least of my worries now. For the meantime, I know Duo’s somewhere near the store and that’s a good start. It’s about two miles from here and if I run fast enough, I’m sure I can make it in at least half an hour or less.

 

“Just hang on, Duo! I’ll be there in a few minutes, okay?”

 

“…anks! ….areful.”

 

I should be the one telling you that, friend. You’re really going to be the death of me someday. Hanging up the phone quickly, I slip into a pair of worn sneakers and cover my head with the jacket’s hood. All too soon, I find myself running down the flight of stairs with a flashlight in my hand and the rain soon pelting down on me in torrents. For the umpteenth time, I tell myself that I really should get a car soon. Quatre already has one. Wufei’s saving up to get himself the latest Roadster and Trowa’s content with his sister’s Jeep while Duo, of course, has his motorbike. Don’t get me wrong, I can afford a car if I want to, but I just haven’t really found the need for it. I can always use the bus to get to school or work and besides, most of my shopping is done at my place of work anyway. However, I realize that if I had a car, I would have gotten to Duo much quicker than this.

 

I am thoroughly soaked now, despite the raincoat doing its best to protect me. The streets are, as expected, relatively quiet and only a few cars dare to brave the wet weather as they drive by. One bastard had the gall to drive so close to me, I barely had the time to jump out of the way before I was doused with the cold mixture of mud and water.

 

After what seems like an eternity, I can make out the familiar neon sign of Mr. Lee’s shop. It’s at the end of a small street with only an apartment building in the distance and two other shops as its only occupants. There is a railroad track which, once crossed, would lead to the other side of the town – the more opulent section which is where Duo and his mom live. I stop in front of the store, trying to catch my breath and notice that they’ve closed for the night due to the weather as expected. No wonder Duo couldn’t run in for shelter or make a proper phone call. However, he could have, at least, stayed under the green awning in front of the store. It’s much better than standing outside in the rain.

 

I walk down the street, my flashlight waving about the barely lit area in search of my elusive boyfriend. I have to be careful because I am aware of the gully which runs along side the main road. It’s fairly easily for a cyclist or in this case someone on a motorbike to fall into it, especially on a wet night like this and as I move my source of light across the expanse of concrete and wild grass (the local sanitary workers are seriously slacking off with their duties) I finally notice the familiar sight of the black machine…at least a wheel… sticking out from a clump of bushes.

 

“Duo?!” I yell out in mild panic, hoping he hasn’t fallen into the ravine below.

 

“Over here!” comes the familiar voice from somewhere on my left. “Geez man, for a moment I thought you were a cop.”

 

He steps carefully over the large puddle of water and all but staggers into my arms. I hug his slender body tightly to mine, feeling him tremble in my embrace. He’s soaked to the skin as well and the light brown jacket he’s wearing hasn’t done much to protect him. I step back and eye him carefully, looking for some sign of damage to his body.

 

“You okay?” I ask quickly.

 

“Yeah,” he says with a small smile. He holds up his hands with a sheepish look on his features. “I was trying to pull the bike out of there and only ended up scrapping them a bit.”

 

A bit?! “Duo,” I gasp at the sight of the raw flesh of his palms. I can only imagine his desperation in trying to pull out the machine which must have been hot no doubt and getting burned for his efforts. “We’ve got to take you to a hospital for that,” I say decisively, ignoring the slight shake of his head. “You can’t even flex them properly,” I snap impatiently. “Just what were you thinking?!”

 

“Hmm, that I wanted to see you so badly, I didn’t care what happened to me?”

 

I can’t help blushing at the statement, but seriously, this is no time to get sentimental over such things. I want to knock his head in or worse, kiss the living daylights out of him. “Yeah, well it’s no good to me if you’re dead now, is it?” I reply, kicking myself for sounding a bit breathless. I wave the flashlight towards the motorbike and eye the situation. There’s no way we’re going to be able to pull it out of there. We’re going to need a tow truck for this one.

 

“Heero…” he moans and wraps his arms around my waist from behind. His trembling has gotten worse and I notice that he really can’t hold me that properly. I can see that he’s favoring his injured palms and with good reason.

 

“Damn you,” I whisper softly, lifting it gently to my lips. “You just don’t know how to practice restraint, do you?”

 

His only response is another low moan and I can feel him getting heavier against me. We really do need to get out of the rain and holding onto his wrist gently; I lead him towards Lee’s shop and at least a little shelter – a little because the awning doesn’t really do much to protect us from the rain. Unfortunately, there are no benches or chairs outside the store, but there are some empty wooden crates which must have been used for vegetables and fruits, sitting by the door. Arranging them quickly, I create a makeshift bench for both of us. I sit down gingerly on my temporary seat hoping I don’t fall off and satisfied that it’s okay for my weight, I make Duo join me. He sits down a bit heavily and immediately places his head on my lap, his lashes falling closed in weariness.

 

“Sorry,” he whispers as I caress his head with one hand while dialing the emergency hotline with the other.

 

“Sorry for what?”

 

“Worrying you…” he says and holds out a hand. “I was just trying to reach you in time…”

 

“Shssh,” I place a finger against his lips to silence him. “As long as you are safe and sound that’s all that matters to me. Of course if you had killed yourself, I’d still come to the afterlife and kick your ass. Hello? Yes, we have an emergency here…”

 

I rattle off our situation and location and then sit back to wait for the ambulance’s arrival. Duo’s fallen silent and I have a feeling he’s gone to sleep – not that I blame him. It’s been one hell of a day for both of us and we’re going to end up spending it in the hospital. I begin to sneeze and he mumbles a quick ‘Bless you’ which has me smiling softly.

 

“Do you remember the first time I spoke to you, Duo?” I ask quietly, my smile becoming wistful. “It was raining back then as well.”

 

I feel him smiling as he replies just as quietly. “Yeah, you did, didn’t you? You and that damn umbrella of yours. You were such a prick, Heero.”

 

“Hey, it was a perfectly fine umbrella…and I wasn’t a prick…until you showed up.”

 

He laughs and rubs his head upon my lap like a dog or a cat would. I flush at the gentle motion, having to remind him that my cock is inches away from his face and doing that is only aggravating the sensitive region.

 

“Duo,” I say weakly. “Don’t…”

 

“Yeah, it wouldn’t do to give you a blow job here while the ambulance is on its way.”

 

“Geez, you only think about that, don’t you?”

 

“Like you don’t?”

 

“Well…yeah…but…”

 

The sudden sounds of sirens approaching have us sitting up slowly. They are pretty quick and all too soon, we are led into the vehicle and Duo’s placed on a stretcher with his hands held up before him rather stiffly. The medic tells us that Duo’s wounds aren’t that critical and a simple application of some medicine, whose name I can’t pronounce at the moment, as well as some shots, should help to ease the pain. A tow truck would be called to take care of Duo’s motorbike and I make a mental note to pay a visit to the body shop tomorrow to see how well they get it fixed. When Duo’s prompted by the guy to tell us what happened, I finally get the chance to hear the full story.

 

He had left the house a few minutes before the rain had begun, assuming he would be able to make it to my place in time if he used the short cut. Of course reminding him about the dangers of riding along Morton Street – for that is the name of that place – during such awful weather, is going to be pointless now. Anyway, he had not foreseen the roads being too muddy from the heavy rush of water and had somehow lost control of the brakes. I had no idea he had actually fallen off the bike and even he says that it’s a miracle he hadn’t broken anything (although at this news, the medic grew pensive and figured that a few x-ray scans would be in order as well. One could never take a fall off a moving vehicle lightly). In his defense, Duo agreed that he had been foolish enough to try to pull out the bike from the bushes by himself. He hadn’t anticipated the trail to be that hot and once he had touched it, well…his palms suffered the consequences.

 

I can only thank goodness the wounds aren’t really that severe or according to the medic, Duo might have ended up going for surgery.

 

 

9.45pm

St. Margaret’s Memorial Hospital:

 

I’m in dry clothes again…if you consider a hospital robe as proper clothing. The nurses have been kind enough to offer to dry off our wet outfits, so Duo and I are stuck in this room until it’s ready. His hands really do look like a mummy’s now. They’ve been wrapped in thick bandages and he keeps holding them out as if afraid they’d bite him or something.

 

“Laugh and you die,” he growls as I try my best to stifle a giggle. He’s tucked up in the narrow bed and can’t move, at least for a while, due to the small back brace the doctor had put on him. It’s just as a precaution really. They had done some x-rays and although there isn’t much extensive or visible damage to his spinal cord, they still want him to wear it for a few days at least. “I don’t fucking believe this.”

 

“Come now,” I say with a warm smile as I walk towards his bed and sit on the edge. “At least you didn’t break a leg or worse.”

 

He swears and fidgets a little. “How long did they say I have to be like this again?”

 

“You can go home tomorrow morning but you’ll have to be in both brace and bandages for at least two weeks.”

 

“Ah, fuck…basketball tryouts are in two days, Heero,” he whines. “I can’t play like this!” He holds up his mummified hands and I can’t help it. The laughter spills out again and I have to slap a hand over my mouth to control it as best I can. He’s glaring at me and before I can stop myself, I lean close to capture his pouting lips in a tender kiss.

 

A…rather…slow…and…sweet…and…mmmm….so good…there’s the faint taste of nicotine and for some reason that turns me on even more.

 

“No fair,” he mumbles thickly within my mouth, his breathing now uneven as we begin to feel a familiar heat flare between us. “You know I can’t move that much…”

 

“Who says you have to move?” I whisper before claiming his lips thoroughly. I shift a little, now lying halfway across his body as I lift my hands to cup his face gently. I can feel the obvious swell of his cock beneath the flimsy cloth and damn if I’m not getting hot and bothered already.

 

I lick the roof his mouth, suck on his tongue roughly before pulling away just enough to seek permission to do as I please.

 

“What if a nurse or doctor comes in?” he asks in a trembling voice and then gives a rather girlish squeak as my hand slips beneath his robe to squeeze the hard flesh already damp with its need. “Fuck…Heero…this is so not fair…”

 

I grin and slide down his body as slowly as I can, pushing the robe a bit higher to see my handiwork. His cock is a throbbing piece of flesh in my hand and as I begin to stroke it slowly, my lips hover around his balls before sucking on them gently. He stifles his cry within the pillow, his body heaving rather quickly as my attention to his swollen sacs becomes a slow torture for him. Hot drops of his cum fall on my stroking hand and I lick it off quickly before teasing the base of the pulsating organ with my tongue.

 

Duo’s body is trembling so much now; I can’t help getting a bit worried that he might fall off the bed and aggravate his injured back. However, he pats my head gently with his hand as a signal for me to continue and that’s more than enough for me. Deliberately ignoring his obvious arousal, now swollen to the point of spilling its’ seed, I push his thighs apart a bit more to eye the tight entrance to his anus greedily.

 

“No,” he whispers harshly as he seems to understand what I’m about to do. “Heero, don’t…ah fuck!”

 

I guess I should have listened to him, for as soon as my tongue slips past the tight ring of muscle, his cock twitches in my hand and soon his thick semen stains the sheet as well as my hand and cheek. I’m sure there’s even some in my hair but I can care less about it now. My cock’s literally ripping a hole right through my dressing gown and it’s unfortunate that Duo will not be able to touch it in a while. Deciding to make the best of it, I continue to fuck his ass with my tongue while reaching down to stroke my neglected flesh quickly.

 

“Aaah…aaah…Heero…”

 

My name upon his lips, drawn out in that husky whisper is simply music to my ears. It’s been so long since I’ve had him like this – okay, hospital room not withstanding – but I’ve missed him in more ways than one. I stiffen as my orgasm approaches, my other hand still on Duo’s cock, as I stroke him harder and faster in time with my self-gratification.

 

I close my eyes and withdraw my tongue from his ass, watching through blurred vision at the clear thread of my saliva that escapes the tiny, pink hole. I have to bite my lower lip hard to stop myself from screaming as my toes curl in pleasure at my imminent explosion. Duo arches into me with a thick grunt, his eyes squeezed shut, a bandaged hand against his mouth to stop his own cry of satisfaction. Silently, and yet fiercely, we come together – so hard that I almost lose my footing and slide to the floor with the force of my ejaculation.

 

I collapse upon him in exhaustion, my entire body trembling just as badly as his. I finally release his cock and at his silent plea, hold up both sticky hands to his lips to give him a taste. He moans and nudges me closer, our lips slowly meeting again to seal our rather messy joy ride. There is a light sheen of sweat on our foreheads as we pull apart to stare into each other’s flushed visages. Our synchronized breathing is rather shallow and for a moment we gaze shyly into eyes before giving in to nervous and yet giddy laughter.

 

“You perve,” he finally whispers against my swollen lips. “You just had to do that, didn’t you?”

 

“Couldn’t resist,” I tease, brushing away the damp bangs from his forehead gently. “It was staring right at me and simply begged to be taken.”

 

“Well, next time wear sunglasses or something and resist. You know I don’t last that long when you go down there…”

 

“Shssh!” I place a hand against his mouth as I hear footsteps approaching our room. I take a quick look at our situation and it’s not looking good at all. The sheets are stained…so are our robes and there’s no doubt that the thick smell of our coupling would make it obvious that we had done something…eh…naughty.

 

“I think there are clean sheets in the closet,” Duo whispers harshly.

 

“Where?!” I whisper back frantically. The footsteps have, thankfully, stopped. But there are now two more voices I hear. One belongs to the doctor, the other to the nurse and the third…

 

“Over there. In that small cabinet in the bathroom below the sink,” Duo says quickly, pushing me off the bed. He begins to get up gingerly as I run into the bathroom to find the fresh linen.

 

“Hurry up,” he whispers quickly. He’s moving towards the door – rather slowly - and then suddenly let’s out a curse so colorful, I can’t help feeling a bit concerned.

 

“What is it?” I pull off the stained sheet and begin to make the bed with the new one. I don’t even try to make it neat enough, just as long as it’s clean that’s all that matters.

 

“My mom’s here,” he states flatly.

 

“What?!” I scream in disbelief as I toss the used sheet into the laundry bin.on to hold him tigsuddenly, forcing me to hide behind it as the doctor, nurse an

 

“Yeah, she’s here. You’re gonna have to make yourself scarce man.” He walks back to the bed and I help to get him out of his robe. I don’t need to be told that twice as I run back and forth like a nursemaid. I wipe Duo down quickly and help him back into bed. Satisfied that he’s okay, I run back to the door and almost yelp in surprise as it opens up suddenly, forcing me to hide behind it as the doctor, nurse and Mrs. Maxwell walk in.

 

“Duo! My baby!” she cries out quickly as she heads towards her son and holds him tightly. “When I got the phone call, I was crushed! Where were you going to? And why didn’t you call me?!”

 

This is the first time I’m seeing Eleanor since I ‘tucked’ her to sleep several months ago. She looks even more beautiful than ever before and it’s obvious she must have spent a lot of time in the sun. Her expensive and flowery perfume fills the air adding to her already coiffed and elegant look. She’s dressed in a simple but well-tailored pant suit which shows off her feminine curves to perfection. She really is something to look at and I don’t think describing her gives the full impact of her presence in person. Just like her son, she seems to ooze a charisma and charm that’s quite powerful. Duo gives me a quick look over her shoulder and I know it’s my cue to escape while I can. The doctor’s currently checking a chart beside the bed with the nurse by his side. I can leave now and no one would notice.

 

“Ah, he came with that friend of his,” the doctor says suddenly and I think I forget to breathe for a second.

 

“Friend? What friend?” Eleanor asks quickly, pulling back to eye her ‘baby’ with a puzzled look.

 

“Just a guy who helped me out on the street, mom,” Duo says with a soft nod. He suddenly groans (rather dramatically) and falls back to the bed, but not before giving me a firm look  that says ‘beat it!’ “I’m hurting all over mom.”

 

The last thing I hear as I make my way out of the room is Eleanor’s sharp demand for the doctor to tell her why her son was in lot of pain.  I guess you might be wondering why we are so adamant that we keep our relationship away from Mrs. Maxwell’s knowledge. Now, she’s a nice woman and has been through a lot of hardships over the years to get her son back, but like my parents, Eleanor’s not very welcome to the fact that Duo’s my boyfriend. She seems to have the mentality that I’ll take Duo away from her and trying to tell her that it isn’t going to be that way is like talking to a brick wall. To appease her, Duo and I have decided to keep our relationship ‘quiet’ whenever she’s around. It only helps to make things so much easier amongst us.

 

“Your clothes, Mr. Yuy,” the nurse behind the desk says to me and I accept them with a warm smile of gratitude. “There’s a shuttle bus ready to take you back home whenever you are ready.”

 

“Thank you….Stacy,” I say, reading off her name tag. She blushes faintly at the personal recognition and I have the feeling she’s probably some freshman in college.

 

Several minutes later, as I make my way towards the waiting bus, I notice that the rain has finally stopped but it’s still rather chilly outside. I look up the building and towards the window which I believe belongs to Duo with a wistful smile. Although the evening hadn’t gone as well as we had both planned, at least we had gotten a chance to be together for a while and it was well worth it. I can still taste Duo in my mouth and for a moment, I entertain the thought of walking back to that room and telling Eleanor that I had just given her son an indirect blowjob. I wonder how she’ll take that bit of news. I’m guessing she’ll probably have me locked up in some juvenile delinquent home for sex offenders. After all; I had only sullied her precious ‘baby’.s. i'king back to that room and telling Eleanor that I had just given her son an indirect blowjob. i  

 

Unfortunately, as we all know, reality always has the tendency to bite us in the rear when we least expect it and this time, Duo and I have managed to get out of it with only a minor bruise to our secret fantasies.

 

One day, we’ll eventually have to spill the beans to our families and when that day comes, I wonder if we’ll be strong enough to deal with the consequences.
