Author's Notes; Hard Yaoi. Shounen Ai. Drama implied. I got really carried away with this..This chapter is split into several parts; before Zero's departure, X in Zero's absence, and Zero's return..I could end this here, but I have ideas for Wily and his robots..I'll need time to clear them up though, I've been focusing on this for several days straight..So instead of one threat like in Forbidden Love, a second one arises..It basically starts a new segment..Please enjoy..As a reminder, I pulled out all the stops on the R-18 this time, so beware..
The redhead spent his last few days with X, being super attentive. He let X tease him for longer amounts of time before baths and managed to drive off Alia and the bullies Double and Vile. X dreaded each passing day, knowing Zero's departure drew closer. He didn't want Zero to leave and get hurt, but there wasn't much he could do.
Both of them resisted on the night Zero had to leave. Nyx had to drag Zero into the shadows to get him out and Light had to hold X back, no matter how much they struggled. When Zero was gone, X broke into tears. This sort of behavior told Light that their love had grown very deep in the short time Zero had been with them. He tried hard to soothe him, but nothing seemed to work so he walked X to his room and sat on the bed with him through the night.
Days passed and spanned into weeks. X felt sad and vulnerable without Zero with him in school. He wasn't truly vulnerable though because the miasma inside him that Zero had used to imbue him with immortality fooled others that tried to go after him into thinking that Zero was still there. He was in a sense, at least by essence. X felt less interested in his school subjects too. When he got home, he worked with his dad as a lab assistant to try and ease his mind. It didn't seem to help much though.
Before he knew it, it had been 3 whole years since Zero left for war. X had grown up a little, he was almost 18 years old now, his birthday was tomorrow. He often tried to relax shirtless as a reminder of Zero's attire and had even let his hair reach his shoulders. Over those long three years, he had learned that the miasma inside him given by Zero wasn't just for immortality and protection. It was also part of Zero's lifeforce. He knew this by running lab tests by taking blood samples. The miasma had darkened X's blood and he found traces of another DNA sequence in it. He analyzed it and found it had consisted of both divine blood and demon blood. "Its scientifically impossible...Zero, thank you..." Light had looked too. "Hmm, he bonded his DNA to yours through the miasma. Maybe the miasma was also to help prevent your body from seeing it as an attack." He put his hand on X's shoulder and pulled him close. "If his DNA survives inside you, he must be alive." X nodded gently. "I hope so. I hope he's ok." Light smiled. "You surely must remember how caring and protective he was of you. He'll return to your side when he's able."
Once the weekend arrived, Light had to go out of town with Wily. X was in charge of the house. He had started getting used to it, since it happened once each month. Light bid X goodbye before giving him the keys to the house. "Take care X, we'll be back on Wednesday." He hugged X tightly. "Yes sir. Be safe." X hugged back and waved until Light and Wily's car were out of sight. He laid down on the couch and stared at the ceiling fan with a sigh.
After a few hours, a knock came at the door. X couldn't think of anyone who'd visit aside from Wily and his associate, Cossack, who had gone with them out of town. He got up and opened the door, surprised at who was there. He felt his heart race inside his bare body at the sight of the tan skin and red mane. "I don't believe it..." The redhead smirked, picking X up and taking him to the couch, pinning him down and extending his wings which had gotten longer and bigger. "My love...Beautiful Zero..Is that really you..Or am I dreaming of you again?" Zero smirked and licked X's neck. X blushed and moaned. "Unh..It is you. I've missed you so much." He pulled Zero into a hug. "I have missed you so too, my prince." Zero hugged back. His voice had deepened a little and the vocal echo he had sent shivers down X's spine. "I see my little X has grown and is not so little anymore. You are 18 now, correct?" X nodded. "I will be tomorrow. And you should be 19 now." Zero nodded. "All grown up." He resumed lapping X's neck and moved to his chest. X nodded, moaning a little. "Yes, scream for me, my little X." Zero managed, lapping his nipples. "You've...ah...grown naughty." X managed. "From the moment mother took me away from you, I felt your sorrow. It persisted through a brutal and bloody fight with demons. I watched as Saturnus killed Lucifer, my father, and Hades herded the demons that were weakened or survived the fight back to the Underworld. I felt your sorrow ease as we rebuilt the heavens which took a few years. I wondered if you had forgotten me or if you had discovered the secret of the miasma I imbued you with." The redhead said, rubbing X's nipples. X watched him and nodded. "I'm a lab assistant to my father now. I ran tests on my blood and saw that your miasma had copies of your DNA in it. You put part of your lifeforce in me. That reassured me that you were still alive." Zero grinned and nodded. "Yes. Now, I am here to refill the void my absence left in your heart." He gently lapped his way down X's stomach before cleaning X's navel out. X groaned and moaned Zero's name. "Ahhh...Zero..." He was glad his father wasn't home. Zero watched X's reactions, cleaning him out before unzipping X's pants. "Is your father around?" X shook his head. "He's..ah..out of town." "Hmm, what luck." Zero smirked, pulling X's boxers and pants down, removing them completely. "This time, I am making you mine." He growled playfully, unzipping his own pants and boxers, noticing that X, like him, had gotten bigger. X blushed brightly when his clothes were thrown off. The redhead licked every inch of X's length before sucking the head, throwing off his own clothes and rubbing X's puckered entrance. X's moans were music to his ears and he rubbed him a little faster but kept his fingers gentle to encourage him to moan and scream more. X moaned louder when Zero began rubbing faster as he felt Zero take him in deeper. Zero soon had all of X in his mouth, making X scream in pleasure already and leaking precum inside his mouth. The redhead swallowed X's precum before slowly releasing him and lifting X's left leg. X shivered in excitement and pleasure, seeing the length that was about to enter him. "You've gotten so big..." Zero smirked and pushed gently inside him. "So have you and you feel nice inside." X screamed some more when Zero entered him, relaxing his leg over Zero's shoulder. The redhead thrusted inside him slowly and gently, wanting X to enjoy him. The brunette screamed even more as Zero thrusted, sending shivers through Zero's body. He loved X's moans and screams. Because the both of them were so overjoyed at their reunion, neither lasted long. Even though Zero stayed slow and gentle, he came deep inside X within a few minutes, screaming and leaning his head back. X came too, some of his fluids splattered onto Zero, but the redhead didn't mind. Zero lapped the smaller dabs from X's stomach, panting with X contently and staying inside him. "3 years apart and when you return, you make love to me...You're still as beautiful as I remember, Zero.." He reached up and rubbed Zero's cheek, who rubbed into X's hand. X noticed a small difference. "Hey, your crown is gone...What happened?" "Not gone, but modified." Zero said, moving his fringe a little. His crown was now a black tiara with Amethyst and Sapphires embedded in it, wrapped around his forehead instead of the onyx crown that used to sit on top of his head. "It looks better this way." X smiled. "Thank you. Saturnus modified it for me as a reward for helping them fight the demons off, but it still serves the same purpose; Protecting me and keeping my mind clear." Zero snuggled his hand. "Um, Zero...? Can I give it a try?" X asked a little nervous. "Hmm? Ah. Well, X, to be honest, I have fantasized about you making love to me. Please, pin me and make me scream your name." Zero gently removed himself from inside X and his hand. X blushed brightly and pinned him down by his wrists. Zero panted in excitement, his length felt so stiff. "Mate with me, my prince of the light." X obliged by edging closer and applying the same treatment to Zero as he had done, but in reverse. He began with Zero's entrance, rubbing it, and lapping every inch of Zero's length. Zero shivered and moaned, watching him. X kissed his tip and took him into his mouth. The redhead moved his hips, wanting to feel more of X's mouth. X watched his hips move, moaning a little. Zero moaned too as X began to take him in further and soon whole, sucking him and swallowing the traces of his fluids. He began rubbing his entrance more and lifted Zero's right leg. Zero leaked precum as X sucked him off. This made Zero scream a little as his precum leaked and X swallowed it, slowly releasing him. X moved closer and withdrew his hand, entering Zero gently and starting to lap his way up to his stomach. Zero moaned loudly, uttering X's name. "Ah..X.." This made X go a little faster inside him but staying gentle as he started cleaning Zero's navel. Zero leaked more precum, which X wiped up and lapped from his fingers. X moved slowly up Zero's stomach to his chest and licked his nipples. Zero was screaming now. It all felt so good. He felt amazing, having his fantasy fulfilled. X felt amazing inside him too, releasing inside him with a jerk back of his head and a loud scream. Zero found himself screaming with X and releasing between them. They both panted and X dropped himself on top of Zero, hugging him and staying inside him. "Mmm, beautiful, X..." Zero managed, hugging him back and carressing X's hair. X smiled, resting his head on Zero's chest, listening to his racing heartbeat and letting it lull him to sleep. Zero soon joined him, wrapping him in his wings.
They slept until evening, awakened by the ringing of a hybrid telephone X had helped Light invent. X groaned as he woke, having to pull out of Zero and get his boxers and pants back on. Zero screamed a little when X pulled out and put his boxers and pants back on too. X kissed Zero's lips before he got up and answered the phone, pressing a button which made a live image of Dr. Light appear. He was accompanied by Wily and Cossack. "Evening, father." X greeted. "Hello, son. I wanted to check on you and tell you happy birthday now since we'll be busy tomorrow." Light told him. "Happy Birthday." Wily and Cossack said together. X grinned. "Thank you, Wily and Cossack." Light lost a tear. "You've grown up so fast. I'm sorry I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted with you." "Father, I'm your assistant, remember? We're making up for lost time." X smiled. Wily looked at X curiously. "This is quite a change for you. You seemed depressed ever since that strange boy vanished..." X scratched his head a little. "Uh, yeah, I suppose..." "X, has there been any trace of Zero yet? I know you really want to see him again." Light asked. X smiled wider and looked back behind him. Zero sat up, stretching his arms and wings before standing up from the couch. Wily's eyes widened and he began to shiver as Zero came up beside X on the screen, trailing a stronger miasma behind him. "A pleasure to see you again, Zero." Light smiled. "Likewise, Doctor Light. Did I hear correctly that X will have his birthday tomorrow?" Zero asked. Light nodded. "Yes. The three of us are on a business trip to a science convention. I didn't want to leave and let him be all alone on his birthday, but that's business. Surely, you can accompany him?" Light asked while Cossack tried to figure out Wily's problem. Zero closed his eyes and smiled. "I am here to stay. The demons have been purged from heaven and we have finished all the rebuilding. I am free to roam here or heaven as I please. Alas, the only place I truly desire to be is at X's side. I will see to X's every whim and give him anything his heart desires." X hid a bright blush from the screen. "Was your father behind that attack?" Light asked. "Yes, he and his forces were eliminated and any weakened survivors were sent straight back to the Underworld." Zero answered, opening his eyes. "In that case...Zero, can I call you son?" Light asked. "Hmm, if that is what you wish." Zero said, a little humbled. "You speak strangely. Are you demigod mentioned by Light?" Cossack asked. Light answered that. "The very one. Wily both fears and is strangely interested in him." X tilted his head. He still looked past Zero's appearance and straight into his heart as he had done before. "Why?" "Because X, don't forget about Nyx. Remember that Nyx is one of the first elemental goddesses and is very powerful. Zero inherits both god and demon blood, as well as her power. Wily fears and is intrigued by his power." Light reminded him. X looked at Zero, remembering. "He may look mean, but he's very gentle. Hostile to strangers or threats maybe. Then again, Wily is kinda a threat..." Light nodded. "True. Goodnight boys, take care of X, Zero." Light waved before the image turned off. X turned the device off.
"X, why did you say Wily was a threat?" Zero looked to him. "Father invents things, robots are his specialty to help mankind. Wily builds his to terrorize people. He's sent to prison for months at a time for it, but never learns. He fears you. You personify exactly what you told me; That darkness isn't always evil, that darkness can be good and gentle. Wily fears you for this and because you're so powerful. Where father tries to help people, Wily wants to terrorize them." X explained. Zero shook his head. "If he or his foolish machines lay a finger on you, his efforts will be wasted." X smiled. "You're still so fiercely protective. I've always loved that." "Since it has been 3 years, tell me, my prince, am I a good mate? I question whether or not I am since we were apart so long." Zero asked somberly, looking at the floor. "Oh, Zero, you proved yourself to be a great mate. You had to leave because it was urgent. Neither of us wanted to part and I don't resent you for it. It wasn't your fault. We now have a chance to catch up and as you said, fill the voids in each other's hearts. In my eyes, you did wonderfully. Your devotion and protection, being lulled to sleep by your heartbeat, being craddled in your arms, the trust we gained, nuturing each other. Please, Zero, let's continue those ways." X told him, lifting Zero's head and looking into his blue eyes. The redhead felt touched by X's words and held him close. "Then, we shall, my beloved." X hugged him tightly happily.
"Have you eaten yet tonight?" Zero asked. "Not yet, no." X shook his head. "Have you tried to stay away from those chemical satuarated foods?" The redhead asked. To that, X nodded. "I've planted my own garden and haven't been using chemical pesticides." "Living off the land. Good boy." Zero smiled. "Since it shall be your birthday, how shall we pass the evening?" "Hmm, well, when we take breaks, father and I like watching comedies together and having a good laugh." X said thoughtfully. "That sounds rather cute and I would enjoy trying it with you. I will take care of the food if you will handle the film." Zero told him. X nodded, receiving a light playful swat on his rear end from Zero. He giggled before setting up the movie as Zero went to the kitchen, leaving his shadowy trail. "Be nice, meanie." X teased as he sat on the floor in front of their widescreen TV, searching through the DVDs. Zero giggled as he conjured what nearly amounted to a banquet and sent it to the table in the den. He had a plate of meat, breads, vegetables, fruits, and some sweets he remembered from Saturnus' celebratory feast. He sat back down at the couch just as X started the DVD, turning on a lamp and turning out the overhead light before sitting on Zero's lap. Zero added to the atmosphere by sending his evening miasma above the light of the lamp, making it glitter with stars. He held X's hip and conjured a large star before him. "Zero..Its beautiful." X said in awe, watching Zero send it in the atmosphere above them. "What should we call it?" "Meissa. It means the Shining one." Zero answered as their movie started. X grinned. "Fitting." He ate some bread as the show started. Zero listened and watched, trying to figure out the humor. X seemed to understand easily, giggling. The redhead enjoyed X's giggling, both his sound and the slight bouncing from X's body.
Zero began to chuckle when the comedian's tone shifted from light to brutally honest. X listened when Zero chuckled and eventually laughed. He thought, asides from his moans and screams, it was one of the most beautiful sounds Zero had uttered. He ended up laughing with him happily through the show. When the show was over, Zero caught his breath and wiped joyful tears from his eyes as X got up to change to a different movie. "Did you know your laughter is amazing, Zero?" X asked. Zero tilted his head. "Do you think so? I do not laugh much..." X nodded and smiled as he changed to a romantic comedy, putting the stand up comedy disk in its case. "Thank you." Zero smiled back before eating a few grapes. "What will this next one be?" "A Romantic comedy." X answered, starting the DVD and coming back to the couch. "On your throne, my love. I was not aware there was such a genre." Zero said, gently grabbing X's hips and pulling him onto his lap. "Imagine some of the softer comedy from the stand-up we saw combined with the sort of romance we once showed." X giggled and explained, trying to give Zero a picture of it. Zero seemed intrigued. "The romance we shall show once more. Hmm, sounds very interesting."
The movie was about a knight and his new squire after the last one quit serving under an old but benevolent king. The knight often had many girls on his heels and his squire was jealous because through their training and battles against enemy armies and dragons, the squire began bonding and feeling something for the knight. X loved this movie because it reminded him of Zero. He always pictured Zero as the knight and himself as the squire. It brought back memories and made X subconsciuosly take Zero's left hand and kiss it. Zero was finishing an apple when he noticed, blushing. He felt the nostaglia coursing through X's mind and body, pulling him closer, mentally swearing never to leave X's side again. X fell happily asleep midway through the movie. Zero sensed this and craddled him in his arms, wrapping his mane around him as a blanket. He saw the rest of the movie, keeping X's head on his chest. The knight was nearly killed in a vicious battle with an invading army outside the kingdom. The squire, wounded and distraught, ferociously aids the king's knights in taking out the army before taking the injured knight to a medieval hospital for treatment, confessing his feelings. Zero was moved to tears. It brought back memories of him and X when they first met. He used magic to switch the DVD player, TV, and lamp off before settling to sleep too, sighing contently and wrapping his wings around them tightly.
