Warning! Strong Gruffi/Gusto
Don't like? DON'T READ! You have been warned! To the rest enjoy!
How the days seemed to breeze on by. Everybody was using today to the best of its abilities. Tummi was working feverishly on building ships and weapons. With the help of several blacksmiths the work was being done in a remarkable pace. The sun was now dropping to be lost in the horizon. Tonight would mark the beginning of what's to come. How many would die tomorrow?
Gruffi had watched the fire dance within the confined walls of the fireplace. What he would pay to be able to know of tomorrow's events. He could hear somebody approaching. He doesn't bother to turn around. The other bear takes a seat and joins his friend.
"It's late. Don't you think you should be resting up for tomorrow?"
Looking over Gruffi can see Zummi extending a cup of tea to him. He takes hold of the cup and takes a sip.
"Couldn't sleep."
"Neither could I."
"Sometimes I sit and wonder what could have been you know?"
Zummi doesn't answer. Sitting there drinking his tea the older bear lets out a sigh.
"Don't we all Gruffi?"
"I wonder what everybody is up to."
"Last I checked Tummi was still working."
By everybody Gruffi actually meant Gusto. He was glad that Zummi hadn't caught on. He's probably tired of hearing his reasoning behind Gusto.
"Can I ask you something Gruffi?"
Gruffi was slightly taken aback but agreed to answer.
"What are you really hoping for tomorrow?"
"What do you mean?"
"What is that you want? Is it for Gusto to come back?"
He couldn't help but let out a blush. The Gummies never knew of the relationship he carried with the painter. Maybe if they had known they would grow to understand why it was so difficult for him to let him go. The pair had agreed it was best to keep it a secret. Sunni was heartbroken when Gusto had refused to go out with her even when she had grown to become such a beautiful bear. His thoughts began to wonder to the last night he actually spent with Gusto.
He had gone by the waterfalls to surprise him.
Gusto was working on a new painting and had been away from the Glenn.
Artie was now hanging out more with Tummi so he was usually away at this time.
Upon entering the painter's home Gruffi sets his stuff down and makes his way to the back room.
He could already hear the annoyed cries of the painter.
"COME ON YOU PIECE OF MISERABLE GARBAGE! I DEMAND YOU TURN TO ART!"
With a last splash of paint the blue bear's eyes turn to the size of quarters.
"Wait a minute…"
Taking a step back he observes his new work.
"YES! YES! Gusto you amazing bear you! You have given birth to PERFECTION!"
Gruffi could never get used to his outbursts. He purposely coughs in hopes to grab Gusto's attention.
He turns around to the noise.
"Gruffamando! How you doing pal? Fancy seeing you here."
He nervously laughs and rubs the back of his neck.
"Yeah well you haven't been by the Glen so I wanted to see what you were up to."
Grabbing for a nearby cloth Gusto rubs the paint off his hands.
"Well make yourself at home. You know mi casa es su casa. I'm going to take a quick bath."
"Oh yeah! Take your time!"
Gusto couldn't help but laugh. He can already tell how nervous Gruffi was.
Gruffi took a seat and waited. He began to fiddle with his fingers and rhythmically tap his foot. The feeling of butterflies overwhelmed his stomach. The sound of the door opening took the bear by surprise causing him to nearly jump out of his skin.
Now in his pajamas Gusto walked in while drying his hair. Gruffi always thought Gusto looked his best after a shower. His longer locks would fall on his face giving him a vulnerable look.
Throwing the towel to the side Gusto flops down on a nearby chair.
"So Gruffster what's new?"
The always casual bear made Gruffi feel at ease. He was happy that Gusto felt so comfortable around him.
"I wanted to talk to you."
Sitting up Gusto had a feeling that this was going to be one of those serious conversations.
"Sure, what about?"
Those blasted butterflies were back.
"Umm…about us."
He wasn't quite sure why Gruffi was dragging the subject. They were both grown bears.
"Ok. What about us?"
He didn't know how to put it lightly.
"I was wondering when we were going to tell the other gummies about us?"
He knew that Gruffi was bothered about their relationship being a secret.
"Gruffi, this…us is something that not everybody would actually be happy about. If we go and tell them what we've been up to might actually cause more bad then good."
"So you feel like what we have is wrong?"
"NO! You should know more than anybody about the Gummi way. I'm already getting the worst blunt of it for rejecting Sunni. Imagine she finds out that I turned her down because I'm with you?"
Gusto was making sense but Gruffi had refused to settle. He wanted to do whatever he wanted with the bear he loved. To be forced to treat him any different was driving him mad.
"Gruffi it's hard I know, but that's just the way things are. You knew going into this that it wouldn't be easy. I mean what more do you want from me?"
"I want…you."
Not saying a word Gusto stands from his chair to walk over to the bear. Looking deep into his eyes he removes him of his green hat.
"When you're here you can do whatever you want."
Swallowing hard Gruffi couldn't keep his eyes off the blue bear.
Gusto tilts his head and presses his lips against Gruffi's.
The kiss was very gentle.
Pulling away he takes Gruffi's hands showing the bear to help remove him of his shirt.
This wasn't the first time he had made loved to him but to anybody else it would have appeared so.
Free from his shirt Gusto soon removes Gruffi of his.
Gruffi was shaking so much. Gusto lets out a laugh and hugs the bear.
"Gruffi? Why are you always so nervous?"
"Ner-ner-vous? Me?"
He lovingly pulls the older bear in for another kiss.
Gruffi couldn't help but melt into the kiss this time.
Suddenly the brown bear sits up taking Gusto with him.
Carefully he pins the other bear to the floor.
Gruffi has never taken the initiative so Gusto was quiet surprised by his aggressiveness.
Pinning his arms down Gruffi looks down at his lover.
Gusto laying there smiles back.
How he loved that smile. It warmed his heart every time he heard his laughter.
"Gusto…I love you."
With that Gusto lifted himself up to kiss him.
"I love you to Gruffi."
Gruffi begins to prepare the other for what was to come.
Gusto lied there savoring the feeling of having Gruffi's fingers slowly enter him.
Moans escaped the painter's mouth.
Everything he did he did it for Gusto.
"By Gum Gusto…you're so beautiful."
Arching to his touch Gusto let's out another moan.
"Take me Gruffi. Take me here."
Not one to argue Gruffi positions himself and slowly places himself inside of Gusto.
The pace was slow.
Gusto relaxes himself to help ease the pain. Soon pain becomes pleasure and soon moans followed with each thrust.
He had loved him. Wasn't that enough for them to be together forever?
He soon increases his pace as the feeling of pleasure surges throughout his body.
All he wanted was to stand by Gusto's side.
The feeling was becoming too much. With one last thrust he screams his lover's name and falls.
Panting he pushes himself so that he could confront the bear beneath him.
Gusto could tell that something was bothering Gruffi. Sitting up he sadly looks over at his lover.
"What exactly is that you want Gruffi?"
What had then appeared so simple now just seems impossible.
"I just want to be happy."
Having those words come out of his mouth now felt different.
Zummmi knew that whatever it was that Gruffi was going through only Gusto could provide a solution to. Whether that solution is not to Gruffi's liking.
