Chapter One

Disclaimer: I do not own GW, never have and never will.

Author's note: I finally decided that the original posting of "Always and Forever" could have been better. I've added more and I believe it isn't as choppy as it was. I really want to thank my friend, BlinkFalconX, for adding a few sentences here and there to make it run smoother. Thank you so much for your honesty!

BTW, in my original version, I received reviews from people stating that Duo wasn't as weak as I made him out to be. Well, this is my response: I know Duo isn't weak, but he is weaker than the rapist in my story! It's my work and that's the way I wanted it to be. Live with it! If that really bothers you, then leave! Oi! Why are people so damned detail-minded?

*ahem* Anyway, the same warnings apply. This contains yaoi and will have rape in chapter 2. With that in mind, enjoy!

Duo crept quietly to the side of the house and peered around the corner. He saw Heero sitting on the front porch steps, engrossed in a book. To get his attention, he shouted,
"Hey Heero!" The Japanese boy looked up only to greet a stream of cold water, spraying him directly in the face. Heero yelped and dropped his book. As the water dripped from his eyes he peered to the origin and caught sight of Duo by the side of the house, holding a water hose and laughing like a maniac. With a smirk and a glint of revenge and lust of his eyes, he took off after Duo. The American boy threw the hose down and ran quickly, his braid swinging behind his head. Heero was faster, however, and grabbed Duo by his hair.
"OWWW! Heero let go!" Duo yelped as his head halted and feet flew out from him. Heero then pulled Duo to the ground and straddled him.
"Argh. Heero, Your getting me soaked, let me go."
"I'm getting you soaked? Hm...Well maybe I should get you dried up." He leaned close to Duo and pressed his lips against his lover's, cleansing the moisture that had gather on his lips. Gently, he parted Duo's lips with his tongue and eagerly explored his mouth. Heero pulled away slowly, allowing Duo to suckle his tongue as he rose. Then he helped Duo to his feet. He was about to pull in for another kiss when Duo reluctantly back away and shook his head.

"Uh-uh. Let's go inside. Ugh, you're dripping wet."
"Thanks to you!" He smiled, and Duo grinned back wickedly, then dragged Heero inside the house.

Meanwhile, a brown haired, well built young man with wide, green eyes, sat at his desk and studied an employee group photo. He traced his index finger over a particular figure and whispered his name. Thoughts of lust ran through his mind as he spoke.

"Oh Duo, I want you so bad, but your heart belongs to someone else right now." He chuckled. "But that will all change in due time. Soon, when the opportunity arises, I will take your heart, soul, and body, I swear." He looked at the wall in front of him and smirked. His eyes followed the many drawings and photographs of a certain braided boy, whom he dreamed of.

The heat of their lovemaking ended and Heero pulled Duo close to his chest.
"I love you, Duo." Heero pressed his lips against Duo's hair.
"I love you, too, Heero." Duo smiled, practically beaming, cuddled close to Heero. He sighed. He never got tired of hearing those words uttered from Heero's mouth. He knew he had meant it, too. The once inert and cold soldier actually had a warm and gentle heart. Life was just perfect. He had never been happier, and now lying in Heero's arms, he felt so safe. Nothing could ever cause him harm as long as he was with Heero. He listened intently to Heero's heart as it beat in his chest and his soft rhythmic breathing. Yes, everything was perfect. He yawned and drifted into a peaceful slumber.

Heero finished his breakfast and looked across the table at Duo.
"You know I'm meeting with Wufei to discuss details of a recent mission?"
Duo nodded. "When ya gonna be home?"
"I should be back in time for dinner. Do you have any plans after work?"
"Nope, I'll be here waiting for you." He winked. Heero smiled.
"Then I'll be sure to come home quick. Are you ready to go? You're going to be late."
"Yeah, let's go." he replied and they walked out the door. They spoke little on the way there, Heero had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, but didn't know what. When they reached the mechanic shop where Duo worked. He climbed out of the vehicle and Heero asked,
"How are you going to get home since I have the truck?" Duo thought for a moment then said,
"I'll just get a ride from someone here." Heero nodded, Duo waved a goodbye and shut the door. Heero drove off, forcing any bad thoughts to the back of his mind.

The green-eyed man watched with great interest as Duo climbed out of the truck and exchange a few words with Heero. Stephen Knight laughed softly to himself as the boy turned from the departing vehicle and approached him with a smile plastered on his face.
"Hey Stephen! What's up?" Duo asked happily.

"Not much Duo. You seem especially cheerful today." Stephen replied.
"Oh yeah, I'm extremely happy."
"I don't even need to ask why." Stephen said and patted Duo on the back. In his mind, rage began to grow, knowing that the reason for Duo's joyfulness was because of Heero.

"Say Stephen, would you mind taking me home today? Heero has the truck. If it's too much of a problem, I'll-"
"No! Duo, it's not a problem at all." Now's my chance! I'll take Duo this evening. I can't believe he's going to be mine!

Duo smiled. "Great man, I really appreciate it."
"It's my pleasure, Duo." He left Duo and walked to his car parked in the back parking lot. After opening the trunk of the car, he pulled out a long, but thin cord of rope. He slammed the truck closed and walked around to the backdoor where he threw the rope in the backseat. He laughed softly and picked up a switchblade lying on the floor and slipped it his pocket.

Duo wiped the grease from his hands on a rag and closed the hood of the car he had been working on. He threw the greasy rag aside and walked over to where his Stephen was adjusting some tires.

"Almost ready, Stephen?"

"Yeah, just let me finish this. So everything is going good with you and Heero."
"It couldn't possibly be better." Duo said and flashed a smile.
"That's great." Stephen acknowledged, but was actually very disappointed. He had been so obsessed with Duo and he wasn't sure why. Maybe it was his hair, or his eyes, or his happy-go-lucky personality. Whatever the reason, Stephen knew he wanted Duo and was about ready to do anything to make him his. Since Duo had first began working at the shop, an evil plan had begun to form in the back of Stephen's mind. And now that Duo had asked him for a ride home, he would be able to put that plan into motion.
"Okay, Duo, I'm ready."
"Great, let's go. I can't wait to see Heero." And he walked ahead of Stephen to get to the car. Stephen shook his head angrily, as a bolt of jealousy shot through him. They climbed in the car and took off. During the ride, Duo chatted endlessly, occasionally giving a direction to his house for Stephen to follow. Stephen didn't contribute the conversation and actually tried ignoring Duo's continuous rambling. Then Duo told him to turn left and Stephen kept going straight.
"Um...Stephen you missed that turn."
Stephen looked over at him and laughed. "I didn't miss it Duo. We're not going to your house."
"Huh? What do you mean? Where are we going?" Duo asked, shocked.
"That depends on you. There's something I want to tell you." He pulled the car over on the side of the country road. Duo wasn't quite sure what to do.
"Duo, you can come with, we can be together. I love you." Stephen looked at him sincerely in the eyes.
Duo was taken back. "Stephen, what are you talking about? You know I'm with Heero, I love him."
"God Damn it. No, not anymore. Look you can come with me peacefully, or we can do this violently. It's up to you." Stephen grabbed Duo's arm. The American boy tried to pull away, but Stephen was stronger.
"What the hell are you doing?" Duo asked. "Take me home now!"
"Are you going to come with me?" He asked, losing every bit of patience he had.
"Hell no." Duo responded defiantly, fear coursing throughout his body.
"Fine. We'll play it that way." He pulled the switchblade out and pointed it at Duo. "Get out of the car!"
Duo was officially scared now, and he knew Heero wasn't going to be there to protect him. "What are you going to do?" Duo asked trembling. Stephen smiled and reached in the backseat and grabbed a thin cord of rope.
"You'll see. Now get out of the car and don't try anything foolish."
Trembling, Duo obediently stepped out of the car. Stephen climbed over the passenger seat after Duo, carefully watching the boy in case he tried to run. He grabbed Duo around the waist and placed the knife to Duo's throat.

What is happening? I thought he was my friend…why is he doing this to me? And why can't I run? The horrible thoughts raced through his mind as Stephen pressed the blade closer to his throat.
Evilly, he said, "If you do everything I say, I won't have to use this. Now let's walk into the woods, slowly." Against his own will, Duo obeyed.

~~End of Chapter 1~~
