A/N: Hi! Delusive Longan, here. I bet you all thought I was six feet under or somethin'. At any rate, this story contains m/m slash (otherwise known as "shonen-ai" or in more severe cases, "yaoi"). That means homosexuality. Still don't get the picture? It means two guys getting it on. With each other.

Ok, I think I've said enough about that. Also, lime scenes or semi-explicit sex scenes/implied sex in some chapters. There are a few curse words, but if you're tough enough to still be reading these warnings, I figure you can handle it.

Is PG-13 stretching it? You tell me.

Until Death Do Us Part

Delusive Longan

[Saturos POV]

"Frightfully cold night Saty, isn't it?" The icy cold outside may be affecting my brain, because I'm talking to myself. Another big hint is referring to myself by my nickname. I never do that.

I've been walking for hours and can no longer feel my legs. The last town I passed through was Champa (or was it Contigo?) and for some reason, I seem to be leading myself to the Jupiter Lighthouse. I honestly don't know what I'm thinking. I begin to run, just to give myself something to do. I listen to the pounding of my feet against the ground.

Walking past the doors, I choose to enter the lighthouse by means of the lowest window. I squeeze through and stand in the dimly lit foyer near the torches, trying vainly to bring heat into my body once more.

"What are you doing here?"

I turn around slowly. "I could ask the same of you." Agatio stands a foot in front of me and stares.

"Did you know I'd be here? And that--"

"No idea. Where's Karst?" At this point, I am shivering so badly that I bite down on my lip, hard, though I refrain from cursing. Out of sheer politeness.

He leads me up the stairs. Once on the top floor, we walk into a small room hidden in a branching corridor. Karst lies sleeping on a pile of blankets. Agatio pulls one out and hands it to me. I wrap it around me and take comfort in its thick quilting.

He walks to the window and looks out into the sky, presumably at the stars.

"I thought you were dead Saturos."

I laugh at his remark. "I should have been, I suppose…"

"Stop giving me those smart-ass responses. You're full of shit." I laugh some more; our conversation is always so forced. Either that or hostile.

Or when we're lucky, both.

I hobbled over to the window and stood behind him, head on level with his shoulder. I stared at him using the window's reflection. His expression is rather impassive, he must be thinking…

I'm certain he already knew that Menardi was dead. Or at least I confirmed it, since only one person will survive Fusion, although he may or may not have known that. That might explain why he's so angry right now. That would explain why he had taken Karst far away from our village just to seek revenge. Or Karst took him. Whatever. Hell, I didn't enjoy being beaten by those teenaged twerps, but that's what happened. No, I didn't want Menardi dead.

But I'm selfish; that's why I'm here. Here freezing my butt off and staring at Agatio's.

Oh yeah… nice view. Stupid time to be thinking about this, but my true self is a sick horny bastard. I try to initiate conversation so that I have something else to think about.

"I jerked off on Menardi once. It didn't do much for me. Too much like screwing Karst." He glared at me. What? What'd I say?

Did he like her or something?

And that leaves another question to be answered: When I said "her", did he think Menardi or Karst? I snicker quietly. He doesn't ask.

"Uh… Saturos?" says Agatio hesitantly.

"Yeah? What?"

"Um… eh…"

I look at him. "Spit it out. If it's important, you might as well say it."

"Nothing."

"You don't stutter if it's nothing. Tell me."

"I miss Menardi. I also don't like your joking about her like that."

"Oh. Sorry. That's it?" I wonder.

He pauses. "I also want to know why you were staring at my ass."

"Damnit."

"You're not very discreet. You should try harder." I glare at him. I think about how to get myself out of this situation, and as I do, he watches me.

In fact, he watches me from a very close proximity.

I reach up and trace my finger down his jaw. Agatio keeps his eyes on me the entire time. I stare back and wonder: Does this guy ever blink?

At least I know I have to. Before I can open them again I find his lips in an unexpected place…

Covering mine.

I show off my talent in disrobing others by using him as my subject. He's not too bad at it either. I toss his clothes on the floor next to his armor; he throws mine next to his. After that, my talented lover straddles me and nudges me to lie down. I can feel the cold stone floor through the blanket, but I barely notice as he kisses my neck.

I can't help but be a bit noisy as he does this. He's a wet dream come true and I say so.

"Pinch me, I'm dreaming right?"

He pinches me. Not a normal place, but hey, whatever works…

"You make too much noise," he mutters a few moments later.

"Not a turn-on?" I gasp as his hand wraps around me. He grunts.

"You'll wake Karst up."

"What's the big deal? She can join us." I receive a glare from my tormentor. I seem to be getting a lot of those as of late.

"If you don't shut up, I swear I won't take it easy." He presses his erection against my leg as if to prove his claim.

I smirk. "Who says I want you to?"

He gives me a stern look, almost harsh. "You're annoying." So matter-of-factly.

"Then why are you doing this?" I ask.

"I just need to get laid is all. You're nothing special." I finally realize this isn't a joke or a joy ride anymore, we're obviously not thinking on the same level. This is practically rape! Well, the only problem with calling it that is that it's consensual on my side…

He surprises me by turning his head and kissing me softly.

But don't get me wrong. Agatio never breaks a promise…

Please review, and while you do, remember that I'm human and have feelings too.
