Chapter Ten

Later that day, Wufei was in the library while Duo sat in the living room contemplating what to say to his friends. He wasn't quite sure who to call first. He figured he would call Quatre first since there was so much more to tell him. He dialed the number he had in memory and waited for the bold to answer.

"Hello, this is Quatre Winner. How can I help you?" A sweet voice almost sang over the phone.

"Hey Quat, its Duo."

"Oh My Gosh! Duo, are you okay? What happened? You have to tell me every detail!" Quatre screeched and Duo smiled. He started in on the long story of why he left, his road trip, and even the unexpected arrival of Heero. The blond was shocked and empathetic, as he always was. Duo paused when he informed the Arab he had been transferred to the eastern division of Proventors.

"So, you'll be working with Wufei then? That's cool."

"Yeah, its pretty good." Duo hesitated. He was not sure if he should tell Quatre that him and Wufei were a couple now.

"What's up Duo? You're holding something back. You know I can tell."

"Well," Duo sighed, "Long story short, a lot happened the past twenty four hours and Wufei and I are a couple now." The last few words spewed out of his mouth as fast as he could talk.

There as a moment of silence before, "That sounds amazing Duo, but do you think that's a good idea? You just left Heero. Jumping into a new relationship like that can be a bad idea." Concern was thick in the Arab's voice.

Duo smiled. "I know Quat, but this is different. I'm over Heero. I've been over him for a long time now. The only thing that kept me with him was fear, and I'm not afraid anymore."

"I just worry about you is all. My heart would just break if you got hurt again."

"I know, but try not to worry. I will be fine. Wufei is an awesome guy, you know that.

"I know that, but at the same time I thought I knew Heero. Come to find out I don't really know him at all. I will try not to worry, but you know it will be hard."

"Yeah, he's a totally different person then he makes it seem. Anyway, thanks for being such a great friend Quat."

"You're welcome Duo. I am always here for you if you need me. So, how are things going way over there anyway?"

"Good. I start working again on Monday."

"Will you and Wufei be working together?"

"I don't think so. Why?"

"No reason. Hey! I have a question for you."

"Shoot."

"Well in about a month, a little over a month actually, I am having a party. I've invited a lot of people who were in the war. Diplomats, high standing officers and some pilots that we directly worked with. Do you think you and Wufei can make it?"

Duo hesitated before speaking what was on his mind. "The only problem is I just took two weeks off work. I'm not sure they will give me more time off for that kind of thing."

"Who do you report to there, if you don't mind me asking."

Duo thought. He had no idea. He had not looked at his paperwork at all. "Hold on," he said and grabbed the papers that were on side table. He shuffled through them until he found what he was looking for. "Looks like Sally is my boss."

"Oh good! She will most defiantly let you go. I already invited her and a ton of people from that division of Proventors. I can call her and arrange it so that the two of you can come. You just need to convince Wufei to come." Quatre giggled.

"Yeah ,but I think I can manage." He smiled before a thought passed by him. "Hey Quat, did you invite Heero?"

There was a a small gasp. "Yes, but I had no idea what was going on between the two of you. He hasn't RSVP'ed yet. Will it be a problem if he shows up?"

Duo fought back a rise of fear and thought for a second. He had Wufei now, so even if he did run into Heero he would be okay. He did not need to be afraid anymore. "Yes, I think it will be fine. I'll talk to Wufei about it and get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks Quatre. I gotta call Hildie so I'll talk to you later. Bye."

"Okay, take care Duo. Bye."

The call ended and Duo sighed. He wondered if it would be a good idea to go to Quatre's get together. He knew he was safe with Wufei, and he trusted him. There was something he was unsure of though. He could not pinpoint exactly. Duo pushed the feeling aside and called Hildie. He told her everything that happened after they parted ways. The conversation was not nearly as long as the one he had with Quatre. Duo had decided to leave out Quatre's party invitation. He did not want Hildie worrying as well. He wondered if she had been invited as well though. The conversation ended and Duo sat there looking at his cell phone. Now he had to convince Wufei to go to the party. Maybe if he just asked. He stood and made his way to the library. Wufei was sitting at the desk surrounded by paperwork. Duo wondered if this was how his job always was. Then again, as a field agent the weekends did not stop Duo from working either.

"Hey Wufei, you busy?" Duo inquired, leaning in the doorway.

Wufei looked up from the papers. "No more then usual. What do you need?" He set the pen he was holding down and leaned back in the chair.

Duo stepped in. It was the first time he had actually entered the room. It was the size of a large bedroom with shelves of books lining two walls. The wall behind Wufei held a window and the wall behind Duo had the door. These two walls were empty otherwise. The beautiful mahogany desk took center stage in the room with two comfortable looking chairs placed in front of it. Duo sat in one of the chairs.

"Well, Quatre invited us to a large get together of war vets. It's in a little over a month. What do you say about going?"

Wufei looked at him. "I am not sure Duo. You just took two weeks off work. Do you think it wise to take more time off?"

"Well Quatre said Sally and a bunch of higher ups were going and he would straighten it out so we could take the time off. Plus, I'm not even sure of the days."

"Very well, but will Heero be there?"

"Duo's eyebrows furrowed. "Quat doesn't know yet, but why should I let him ruin my time? I can't let him haunt me for the rest of my life."

"This is true, but at the same time you cannot let your guard down. You should already know that Duo."

"I know, and I haven't let it down, but I wont let him control me anymore."

"Alright, if you think you can handle it we will go. Please find out when it will be."

Duo jumped up, a smile on his face. "I'll let you know Fei-Fei." He got a glare for using the nickname and he rushed out of the room. The rest of the day went calmly. Wufei finished up his work and had helped Duo come up with a plan to get his belongings all the way from Sacramento. He would have to travel over there and have a moving company take care of his things. They decided that when they went to Quatre's party they would make the trip down. After a dinner of steamed dumplings and pork lo mein that Wufei made, Duo was in the guest room trying to figure out if he should move his items into Wufei's room or not. He decided it would be best to ask before he did anything too drastic. He went in search of the Chinese man and found him in the living room reading a book.

"Hey Fei," the man in question looked up at him. "Well, I was wondering if I'm gunna stay here or get my own place?"The question was awkward. They had just started dating and even though they were staying together at the moment, it did not mean Wufei wanted it to stay that way.

"You can move your things into my room. I will make room." Wufei stood and lead the way upstairs. As he moved things around in his room, Duo gathered his clothing into his suit case. He did not have much, but more would be coming soon enough. When Duo was finished putting his clothing away in the walk in closet, he turned to admire the beauty of the room he would now be sleeping in. He noticed Wufei leaning on the end post of the bed, arms crossed and watching him.

Duo smiled. "What ya thinkin' about?"

The Chinese man said nothing. Instead he pushed himself off the pole and approached Duo. He took the brunettes face in his and hands and kissed him tenderly. Duo's breath hitched and he kissed back eagerly. Wufei pulled him against his body and pulled him away from the closet. He lead him back to the bed and only broke the kiss to remove their shirts. They were out of breath and Wufei stared into his eyes.

"Is there anything you do not want to do from the drawer?" Wufei looked at him seriously.

Duo thought for a moment. He knew that he had to take this situation seriously. If he chose wrong, he could end up getting hurt. He looked at Wufei. "Well, to be honest that thing that looks like a cattle prod is kind of scary looking, and I don't think I am ready for the spreader bar in there."

A wicked looking smile crept across Wufei's face. "Very well. You are okay with everything else right now?" Duo nodded, weary of what Wufei was thinking. Wufei spun them and laid Duo down on the bed. He then moved away and pulled the drawer out. He produced two pairs of handcuffs and cuffed the brunette to the headboard with finesse. Duo watched him intently, eager. Wufei disappeared back into the drawer and pulled out a pair of metal clamps. They were small and had a pin in them so that they could be adjusted. Duo watched curiously. Wufei leaned over him and gently placed the clamps on his perked up nipples. Duo inhaled sharply. They hurt a little, but it felt good at the same time. He found it hard to stay still as Wufei slowly pulled his pants and boxers off. His erection stood at attention, weeping and begging for attention. Wufei trailed a finger up his leg, passed his member by and flicked one of the clamps. Duo moaned.

The Chinese man pulled the bamboo cane out of the drawer and closed it. Duo's eyes grew slightly bigger. Wufei slowly trailed the cane along his legs and chest, gently teasing him. Without warning he struck across his thighs. Duo gasped. It had hurt, but the pain was like the pain from the riding crop. It stung a little and felt good at the same time. He was struck again across the nipples. With every blow he gasped in pain and pleasure. The torture continued across his body, leaving his skin red. His skin felt like it was on fire.

Wufei stepped back and admired the view. Duo squirmed under the scrutiny. A delicious smile was playing on Wufei's lips and he wanted to kiss him. The Chinese man stripped down, grabbed a small bottle from the bedside table and climbed onto the bed. He pushed the brunette's legs apart and knelt between them. Duo was nearly panting he was so eager for Wufei to be inside of him. Wufei pushed his legs up so that they were bent and he was exposed. Duo watched as Wufei lubed his fingers and slowly inserted one finger inside of him. The brunette closed his eyes and threw his head back. The finger moved in and out before being joined by a second one.

Wufei thrusted his fingers in and out of him and Duo moaned. The fingers disappeared and were quickly replaced by Wufei's erect member. Duo gasped at the sudden change of size and squirmed against him. Wufei began to move in and out of him, creating a rhythm. The pace quickened and Wufei grabbed onto Duo's member, pumping it. Their breathing was heavy and their movement hurried.

"Oh god! Wufei!" Duo exclaimed, arching his back.

"Come for me Duo. Come for me!" Wufei growled. Duo cried out and orgasmed into Wufei's hand. Wufei thrust into him once more before releasing inside of him. They were both panting. Wufei pulled out of the other man and moved to remove the clamps and handcuffs. "We need to shower. Come on," Wufei took Duo's hand and pulled him up off the bed. They made their way to the bathroom. Wufei started the water and they both climbed into the shower. They helped each other wash in silence. As they cleaned Duo reveled in his situation. He had gotten out of a horrible relationship and into one that was different but made him happy. He never would have thought that Wufei would be into bondage, but it was exciting and new. The care that the he showed him was something he was not used to. Wufei was not an overly affectionate person, and Duo understood this so he did not expect all the lovey dovey stuff outside of the bedroom. He knew that Wufei cared for him though and that filled him with joy. He wondered what the relationship would be like though. He had lived in fear for so long. He would just have to wait and see what happened.
