Chapter 8


A fine mist of music enveloped Heero as he watched Quatre and Trowa play. Seeing Quatre in his element, soaking up the music like a rose soaking up life-giving rain, made Heero fall in love with him all over again. He saw how the violin became an extension of not just Quatre's body, but of his soul as well.

The song ended, and Quatre and Trowa took a bow. Heero applauded.

"That was fun." Quatre said. "Let's do that again sometime."

Trowa nodded. "Yes. Goodbye." He said, and walked out of the room.

When they were sure he was gone, Heero went to Quatre and held him.

"That was beautiful." Heero said. He took Quatre's hand and kissed it. Then he looked deeply into his eyes, said, "Just like you," and kissed him. Quatre's heart melted at Heero's words and touch.

They had just made their way over to Quatre's bed when someone knocked on his door.

"Hey, Quatre, buddy!" Duo called.

Heero looked at the door, then at Quatre. He usually doesn't knock."

"We don't usually do this." Quatre pointed out. Heero grinned and moved so Quatre could answer his door.

"Hey, I'm not getting any more good-looking waiting here." Duo said.

Quatre opened the door. "Hello, Duo."

"Hey Quatre." He looked over at Heero. "Hey Heero. Was I interrupting something?"

"No, you weren't." Heero said. "We were just sitting here staring at the wall. Care to join us?"

Duo glared at him. "Ha. Ha. And for the record, ha. I was just wondering if one of you would like to play checkers with me."

Heero got up, gave Quatre a "Later. I promise." look, and left, sliding by Duo on his way out.

"Um, okay." Quatre said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You are such a sore loser, Duo."

"Okay, okay...so you didn't cheat at the last round, but I swear you did all those other times!"

Quatre sighed. "Duo..."

"Okay, whatever. I'll let you keep your prize. I'm feeling nice today." They stopped in front of Quatre's room. "Well, goodnight."

"Good night, Duo." Quatre went into his room, examining the chocolate bar he had gotten as a prize. he set it on his night stand, then preceeded to take off his clothes. He had just gotten his pants off when he heard the door to his room open.

"Duo, I'm telling you, I did not cheat at checkers!" He said, turning around to address the offending person. Instead he met Heero's placid, sapphire eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were Duo." Quatre said sheepishly.

"That's alright." Heero said, going over to Quatre. They held each other once again, Heero running his hands down Quatre's bare back.

Quatre looked up at Heero. "So, shall we continue where we left off?"

"Of course." Heero kissed him, leaning Quatre back on the bed. Quatre rolled over so that he was on top of Heero, breaking away so that he could take off Heero's clothing. Quatre did it slowly, caressing every inch of him as he went.

When he finished with that, Heero moved so that he could take Quatre's underwear off. Heero laid him back down and started kissing him again. He ran his hands down Quatre's sides, and when he reached his legs he lifted them up. Heero pulled away, gazing into Quatre's eyes.

"What are you-" Quatre said. Heero put a finger to his lips.

"Just relax." He said. He kneeled in front of Quatre, taking his legs and bringing his knees up. Heero lifted Quatre's hips up, moving himself forward so he could slide his knees underneath, and guide his penis between Quatre's buttocks.

This done, Heero leaned forward and began his slow, steady thrusts. Quatre was enjoying being able to see Heero's face while they made love. Heero made contact with HQuatre's prostate, which sent waves of pleasure running through his body. He arched up, clutching at the sheets and breathing heavily.

Heero went slowly, savoring every moment, unlike the rushed pace of last time.

"Ooh, ungh, Oh God, Heero." Quatre moaned. He put his hands on Heero's waist, and Heero leaned down to kiss him as he moved his hips forward again.

Quatre felt absolutely wonderful. He had the sensation of floating, of being above everything that didn't matter. And for a while he forgot where he was. Heero leaned down and nibbled on Quatre's ear, causing Quatre to moan a little louder. Pretty soon they both started the climb.

"Ohh, oh Heero." Quatre groaned. Soon their breathing and panting was synchronized as they moved closer to the peak.

"Oh God, ohhh...Quatree..." Heero breathed.

"Ah, oh, Heerooo..." Quatre groaned. Heero uttered a long, low rumble, and filled Quatre with his sweet juice as beneath him, Quatre tensed up and arched his body, gasping in the throes of the climax.

When their orgasms had passed, Heero slowly moved to lie next to Quatre, as if moving quickly would shatter the moment. Heero brushed his lips against Quatre's in an angel kiss.

"That was so good. So powerful." Heero said.

"Yes." Quatre breathed. They lay there for a while, just glad to be close to one another.

"Heero?" Quatre said finally. "What do you think we'll do once this stupid war is over?"

"We'll build a house, on Earth or on a colony, it doesn't matter. We'll build a huge garage, big enough to hold both our Gundams, and a car or two. We'll have a pool and a hot tub, and we can have sex as much as we want."

Quatre chuckled. "Let's get a dog, too. And we should have a room with a big fireplace and a bearskin rug in front of it."

"We should have a guest room, too. In case your mother visits." Heero said.

Quatre grinned mischieviously. "We'll put it on the other side of the house, so she won't hear us." Heero chuckled.

It suddenly dawned on Quatre. "Oh God, what would she say about this? I'm her only son."

"We'll adopt." Heero said simply.

"Well, it's more than that." Quatre said. "I just don't know if she'll accept me like this."

Heero was silent for a while. "Humanity hasn't advanced as far as we think it has. We would be more accepting of homosexuals in general if it was." He said finally.

"That's true." Quatre agreed. He drew Heero closer and held him. "It's getting late. We should go to sleep soon." He said softly. He kissed Heero. "Good night."

"Good night. I love you."

"I love you, too." Next Time...
