Chapter Twelve: Fight
Duo eyes fluttered open. He felt extremely tired and blinked around the room. He could see a small amount of sunlight coming through the dark curtains and sat up in confusion. Why had he woken up so early…or during the day for that matter. Then the whimper reached his ears and he looked down at Heero, whose face was stressed in his nightmares, his hands clutching the sheets. Duo's eyes softened.
Duo leaned down over Heero, and pressed his lips to Heero's gently. Resting his chest on Heero's he buried his head in Heero's neck, kissing the skin there. "Shhh, Heero." Duo whispered in Heero's ear. Duo's eyes widened when Heero shifted, turning on his side and taking Duo with him. Duo now laid pressed up against Heero, Heero burring his face in Duo's neck, nuzzling the claim mark, his arms wrapped tightly around Duo's body.
"Duo…stay…please." Heero mumbled still in his sleep. Duo smiled softly and cuddled into Heero, his hands resting on Heero's chest, since he couldn't move his arms to wrap them around Heero.
"I'll stay, Heero." Duo whispered.
-----------------------
Heero woke up, rather abruptly that night. His eyes falling on the sleeping Duo in his arms and he smiled. Duo looked so innocent, sleeping there in his arms, like an angel he caught right out of the sky. He kissed Duo's forehead and watched as Duo's eyes fluttered open to look straight at him. He felt his heart skip a beat when Duo smiled and him and snuggled closer.
"What brought on this change of heart?" Heero asked. "Yesterday you apologized or waking up cuddled with me." Heero said with a smile. Duo blushed slightly and looked away from Heero. He didn't know if he should tell Heero that he had woken to Heero having a nightmare.
"Well if I am going to be here with you for eternity, I don't want to spend it having a grudge against you. I want to make the best of it." Duo said. Duo was about to get up and stretched but Heero stopped him by pinning him to the bed and kissing him on the lips, thrusting his tongue into Duo's mouth. Duo allowed the access and ran his own tongue over Heero's. Duo moaned into the kiss, and he felt the shift in Heero's body, and he smirked mentally. He had full control of this situation…for now.
Mentally taking a deep breath he ran his hand down Heero's chest, down his stomach, and into his pants, he was about to grip Heero's cock, when Heero's hand pulled his hand out.
"I don't think so. I need to take care of a few things before we…." Heero got out of the bed, and Duo sighed. It had taken everything he had to take the initiative to start…but Heero had stopped him. "I'm sorry Duo, I know you are trying. But I have a kingdom to take care of, and I can't do that if I'm….well…"
"I understand Heero." Duo said and got out of bed. "I'm going to go take a bath tonight. I'll be there when….you're ready." He said walking passed Heero. Heero caught his arm and turned him around, pinning him to the wall with his lips on Duo's neck, and one leg pressed up between Duo's legs, rubbing Duo's hard cock. Duo moaned his hands gripping Heero's shirt.
"Don't think that sex is the only reason why I want you here." Heero said. Duo closed his eyes shamefully. "I know I forced myself on you, I know this is difficult for you to accept, but please, don't play with my heart." Heero growled.
"Maybe you should listen to your own advise Heero." Duo whispered, barely able to get it out. Duo tried to push Heero away from him, but Heero jerk a bit, slamming Duo into the wall hard. Duo grunted, and winced slightly when Heero bite into his shoulder a few inches away from his claim mark. "I'm sorry." Duo whispered, understanding that the bite was not meant to be pleasurable. Heero moved against slamming Duo a bite harder into the wall, one hand slipping into Duo's pants. He pulled away from Duo's shoulder and brought his lips to Duo's ear.
"If all you want is this…." Heero said, grabbing Duo's hard cock painfully. "I will be happy to give it to you. But do not smile at me…do not give me false hope, that maybe someday you will actually love me." Heero growled out then pushed Duo away from him, causing Duo to fall to the ground in a heap. Duo hurriedly got his knees and glared at Heero.
"How can I love a monster like you!" He shouted, Heero was at him in a flash, backhanding him and sending him back to the ground. Duo stayed on the ground this time, his hand covering the cheek Heero had hit, eyes blinking back tears. Duo grabbed Duo by the hair and pulled him to his feet. "Stop…that hurts." Duo cried out, his hands out Heero's wrist.
"How dare you fucking say that to me." Heero growled out and forced Duo onto the bed. Duo struggled against him, but Heero had him pinned down easily. "I will teach you to talk to me like that." He growled out. Duo brought his head up, hitting Heero in the face and sending the vampire away from him.
"If you want me to fucking love you, stop treating me like some dirty slave." Duo said. "Last night was nice, and I was starting to like you. I see your eyes sometimes Heero, they are sad-" Heero had Duo pinned roughly to the wall again.
"You don't know….you don't fucking understand. " Heero growled out. He pulled Duo back and slammed him into the wall again. "You never will." He snapped.
"I was trying to." Duo whispered. Heero froze. "I was trying to." Duo repeated, he was shaking, and it was hard to breath in Heero's grip. "Heero….I…." Duo couldn't say it. Not now, not after what Heero had just done. "I hate you." He said instead. Heero's eyes darkened and he allowed Duo to fall to the floor. Duo looked up at Heero through his bangs. Heero was just standing there, his eyes dark, but it was with hurt, and Duo could give a shit less really.
Heero turned and left the room without another word, not knowing what to say, or what to do. He had been so happy when he had woken up. He had found Duo in his arms, Duo had smiled at him. He had only stopped Duo because he wanted to wait until he had more time with Duo. But when Duo invited him to the baths to…Heero couldn't take it. He felt like Duo thought he only wanted him for that reason. Then he had just….Heero froze in the hall and blinked a few time. He had hurt Duo….again…'Why do I hurt him?' He asked himself. He lowered his head and walked down the hall again. He needed to find Trowa.
He didn't know how long he had been looking, but he never found Trowa, instead he found Quatre. The small blond was sitting in the library reading. Heero was about to turn and leave when Quatre spoke.
"Why don't you come and sit down Heero." He said kindly.
"I don't want to disturb you." Heero said. Quatre made a face and smiled at Heero.
"No, no, I was waiting for you actually." Quatre said, Heero sighed and sat down across from Quatre. "You're, sad, and hurt….alone." Quatre said Heero looked at him shocked.
"How do you know that?' He asked.
"Easy, though you physically hide your emotions quiet good, you're eyes are the window to your soul. You got into an argument with Duo?" Quatre asked, Heero nodded.
"I don't know what to do. It seems that Duo was starting to like me…so he says anyway, but after this I wouldn't blame him if he never spoke to me again." Heero said, not knowing why he could open up to the sprite turned Vampire before him.
"Did you try apologizing?" Quatre asked.
"No…but how do I apologize for hurting him?" Heero asked, distress in his eyes.
"How did you hurt him?" Quatre asked setting his book aside and giving Heero his full attention.
"Physically, I hit him, slammed him into the wall a bit, and I bit him, hard, on the shoulder." Heero said.
"Give him a gift, then say sorry. He will forgive you over time." Quatre said with a soft smile.
"But, what would I give him. I don't know what he likes." Heero said.
"Surely you know something about him?" Quatre asked a little worried. Heero smiled softly, remembering there conversation last night.
"I have an idea." Heero said and left. Quatre smiled and watched him go.
"I want to see them make it." Quatre turned to see Trowa stepping out from the shadows.
"Me too." Quatre said with a smile at his love. Trowa leaned down and kissed Quatre's lips lightly.

Wufei's eyes fluttered open and he looked around. He was in a well decorated room, and by well, he meant full. The room was covered in cages, chains, shackles, and weapons stained with blood. Wufei's eyes widened and he tried to move but found himself chained to a table.
"Glad to see that you are finally awake." Trieze said.
"Trieze, you bastard, let me…no." Wufei whispered, felling the second heart beating in his chest. "You drank my blood you son of a bitch!" Wufei screamed and struggled to get free.
"You see this Wufei?" Trieze asked. Wufei eyed to blue potion. "This will make you more accepting of our bond." Trieze said. Wufei swallowed hard and tried to get away. Trieze grabbed Wufei's cheeks and forced and Chinese Dragon to drink the vial tasting liquid. He took a step back and released the chains around Wufei's body. Wufei stepped from the table clutching his stomach, as his body transformed into his true dragon form. Trieze smirked at his new pet, who now coward before him. "Very good." He said.

Duo sank into the pool of hot water, wondering idly why anyone would need to bath in a tub that size, but the water felt nice and his bruise body. After a few moments of soaking Duo's thought turned to Heero.
'Why did he get so mad at me?' Duo thought. 'I just wanted to…I just wanting to give myself to him willingly, I didn't mean anything bad by it. I just wanted to let him now that I accept this…I still do.' Duo though in defeat, his shoulders dropping and his eyes closing.
"He just wasn't use to it." Duo's head shot up to see a tall man, half his face covered with his hair. Duo blushed at his state of undressed and looked away from him. "You sure are modest for an elf. I thought your people bath together." Trowa said.
"We do, family. The clan is your family, we don't mind, I don't know you." Duo said, still not looking at the man.
"Trowa, I'm Heero's youngest brother." Trowa said getting into the large tub. Duo looked up at him.
"Brother, you don't look like him…you look like a Wood Sprit." Duo said.
"I am that as well as vampire. Dracula liked women it would seem. I am last child he had, my mothers clan found out about the union and well…lets just say wood wasn't fathers favorite." Duo nodded in understanding.
"What did you mean by Heero not being use to it?" Duo asked.
"Well I felt what happened. Me and Heero are mentally connected, along with our other brothers and sisters, the affection you meant to be showing him…well he didn't know that that was what you were trying to do. Heero is not use to affection. He told me how father was abusive to say the least. His own form of affection can be quiet painful at times." Trowa explained.
"So I shouldn't try anymore." Duo asked, dejectedly.
"No, no, no, that's not what I'm saying. You'll need to keep trying to get him to understand, and I understand how you can be made at him for lashing out. Hell I would be furious myself. But you have to understand that he doesn't understand completely. He's been alone for so long, he doesn't know how to give affection. I've been trying to help him get along with you better, but during the full moon, we are all a little harder to get along with." Duo smiled at that. It was true. During the full moon all mystical creatures, whether they be good or bad, experienced some form of crankiness towards the full moon. Elves released with crankiness with song and dance, turning there problems into pleasure.
"It's still going to cost him to make up for it." Duo said rubbing his shoulder.
"Just don't charge him to much, Duo, he may not understand the reason behind him." Trowa said. "Well I have a little blond Sprite to go see, so if you have any questions of need help, just come look for us, well help." Trowa said and sank into the water. Duo was surprised to see that Trowa could disappeared into the shadows under water. He would need to learn how to do that.
-------------------------
It was almost sunrise when Heero returned to their room, finding Duo brushing out his hair.
"Duo?" Heero asked. Duo didn't stop brushing, but Heero say his body stiffen. And sighed they had taken a step back, and it was all his fault. "I brought you a gift." Heero said. Duo turned to looked at him. Heero opened his hands to let Duo see what he had brought. A very small blue dragon was curled up in his palm. Duo smiled.
"A dragon, but how did you catch one?" Duo asked.
"I didn't have to catch him. His mother lives in the castles basement, as a trade for a free home she gave me one of her new hatchling, though I had to make a promise from you to her." Heero said. Duo looked up at him.
"What kind of promise?" He asked.
"That you will take care of him. She has hundreds of babies, but she still loves them all. She just wants to make sure that no harm will come to this one." He said.
"I promise." Duo said, taking the small scaly body into his hands, surprised that the dragons started out so small. The dragon lifted it's head and chirped at Duo. "I'm going to name him Gami." Duo said.
"Duo…I'm-" Duo placed a finger over Heero's lips.
"Don't." Duo said, Heero looked confused. "Look, what you did was wrong, again. But, again, I'm willing to forget about it. But I want you to make me another promise." Duo said, getting a wonderful idea.
"Yes, Duo?" Heero asked.
"Next time, when I try to willingly give myself or something to you, accept it for what it is, not for what you think it might be. And if you don't know what it is, then ask." Duo said. Heero smiled and nodded.
"Duo?" He asked.
"Yes?" Duo asked back, placing Gami on his pillow.
"Can I kiss you?" Heero asked, which shocked Duo. Heero had asked his permission. Duo was tempted to say no, to see if Heero would respect his choice.
"Yes Heero, you can." Duo said, leaning into Heero and kissing him. What the hell, he didn't lie to Heero before when he said that he was starting to like him.
"Duo?" Heero asked again, once they pulled away.
"Yes, Heero?" Duo asked back.
"Duo you really hate me?" Heero asked, Duo's eyes softened again.
"No, Heero, I don't." Duo said with a smile. Heero smiled back and pulled Duo into another kiss. Gami chirped happily from the bed.
