Kou woke up to find Dominique slapping either side of his face.
"Wake up, ya
big lug!" she said loudly.
"What happened?" Kou asked dazedly.
"Y'know that guy who you've been drooling over for the last three
years, oop, I
mean, weeks?" she giggled, to Kou's blush, "Well, he brought you home...in
his
arms...shirtless!"
"Me or him?!"
"Both!!" She spoke with the air of a toddler who had just crayoned
what it
considered a masterpiece.
Kou's eyes widened.
"He's a lot cuter than I thought. And he really seems to like
you!"
"How do you know?"
Dominique giggled, not an unusual move. "He asked if her could
kiss you
good-night!"
"And did he?!"
"Yep! Full on the lips!"
Kou's head crashed into his cupped hands. "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod..."
Dominique giggled with glee again, obviously thoroughly enjoying
this.
"Dominique, if you are shitting me, I swear, I will--"
"No need to worry about that! I'm SOOO not shitting you! If I
were, you
wouldn't tell me exactly what happened last night in extremely graphic
detail."
She finished this off by leaning towards him, her head propped
up in her hands
with her elbows on the edge of the couch.
"I'll tell you if you answer one question honestly."
"I know what it is!" she said in a singsong, but suddenly grew
serious. "He
really seems to adore you. Before I lugged you to this couch, that
kiss he gave you
was just...y'know, so real. And when you were on the couch, he just
kinda watched
you breathing. He stroked your face so lightly with his hand, he just
gazed at you,
and right before he left, I SWEAR, I heard him whisper 'Sweet dreams,
my love'. It
was so beautiful, like something out of an old romance novel! I cried
for ten minutes
afterwards. Now stop crying yourself and tell me what happened!"
Kou could not concentrate the rest of the day. He couldn't wait
for that
night, to go to the red light district, to see Llewellyn...
But what would he do to him? Say hello, kiss him, fuck him senseless?
No,
probably neither of the last two. What the hell was happening to him?
Sure, he'd
know he was gay ever since he was little. Classic stereotype: the gay
artistic guy. He
had however, only had one boyfriend, and that one beat him and cheated
on him
repeatedly. He never was in love with that guy anyway. And that was
this 'tough
guy's' dream: not to be a world-renowned fighter, not to save the world,
just to find
a man who would become his lifemate. Maybe Llewellyn...?
GAH! What was he thinking anyway?! He didn't know Llewellyn at
all!
Geez, it was like he had had some kind of spell on him.
Night came, very slowly, and he slid into the alleyway. Cimbre
and the
other Adonis were fighting. Where was Llewellyn?
This was answered as a pair of sleek hands slid from behind to
rest gently
on Kou's chiseled stomach. A pair of slightly wet lips pressed onto
his thick neck
lightly. Kou did not move or say a word. He just let Llewellyn hold
him.
The two watched the fight. Cimbre won, to which both he and the
other
grinned, stood up and gathered the other into their own arms and shared
a very
passionate lip-lock. Kou saw tongue, he most definitely saw tongue
involved.
Llewellyn whispered very delicately into Kou's ear. His voice
sounded very
sincere, even though Kou have very little to base it on. "Kou, I have
been watching
you. And in that breif time I have fallen absolutely in love with you.
And I will do
anything you desire to make you love me in return."
"Are they in love?" Kou asked quietly.
"Oh, Cimbre and Dolkahn?" Llewellyn said, his chin still resting
on Kou's
broad shoulder, "Yes, amazingly in love. It's beautiful to see them."
"I want people to say that about us," Kou said, "I want people
to look at us
and say that we're beautiful together. I don't know you, at all, but
I do know that I
want to fall in love with you."
"Kou, you couldn't have made me happier if you had just said
the three
words. In fact, I'm happier with this response, because it wouldn't
be all that right
for you to immediately fall in love with a complete stranger. I'd love
it, though, if
you do grow to love me."
Cimbre and Dolkahn looked up at them, and smiled broadly at the
sight.
"Think it'll work for them," Cimbre asked his lover, "after Kou finds
out?'"
"I can only hope so..." Dolkahn said, and, pulling Cimbre closer
to his body,
continued in a huskier voice, "I still loved you after I found out."
Llewellyn gently moved Kou so that he was facing him. He leaned
closer
into Kou, and almost inaudibly said, while his eyes shined, "There's
something I
have to tell you."
