Melpomene
Part Seven: A Crazy Plan
"Camford wants me to see O'Connell as a comrade-in-arms when we're on duty." Hermann told Karl, moping over a bottle of brewsky. "What's so wrong with that?" Thomas asked, stirring his root beer float. "Karl and Leon see each other as comrades-in-arms on duty all the time." "You don't seem to understand the gist of the situation. Every time I look into those thoughtful dark grey eyes.... I see everything I ever truly wanted. I love the sensation of Jake's naked body against mine... his lips on my lips... his hair between my fingers." "I know the feeling." Karl sat on the desk and sipped the glass of fine wine. "I think that a lot with Leon, he is so special to me. He treats me like I'm heaven-sent, he does like to call me his Green Eyes White Angel...." "I just want to.... ERGH!!!" Hermann slammed the bottle on the desk and growled, then followed it up by pounding his fist in the desk. "I CAN'T see him as a comrade-in-arms now! Not that I finally got the know what he tasted like! He's like a drug, I want more!!!" Karl gingerly sipped the fine red Zinfandel again and rolled it around in the expensive crystal glass. "Have you considering AWOLing?" "Yeah, a few times." "Why don't you?" Thomas asked, sipping his float. "I can't. Camford will have a fucking cow." "Sometimes, Rob..." Karl sipped the wine again and set the glass down, crossing his legs. "...the greatest pleasure in life is doing what people tell you cannot do." "But... everyone knows my face! Everyone knows who I am! It's not that hard to find this handsome mug." "It's not that hard to find us either.... unless we wear contacts." "I don't know what to do.... I love him sooooo much." There was a gentle wrapping at the door, Karl and Thomas stood up as if they knew who it was. The beautiful Imperial colonel turned toward Hermann and smiled sadly. "We'll leave you alone." The brothers left just as O'Connell walked into the office, he closed the door when they knew they were alone. He continued to stare at the tan metal door, his head low between his shoulders. "Jake? Something the matter?" "Oh, it's nothing." O'Connell turned around to look at his man, he walked up to Hermann and looked in his eyes. "I got the news." "Yes.... devastating, isn't it?" Devastating wasn't the proper word for it, but regardless, O'Connell's hands slid on Hermann's muscular chest. Hermann snaked his arms tenderly around the teal-haired beauty. "I didn't want to hurt you, Jake. I had to tell..." "I'm not mad about that, Rob. I'm not mad at all." "I don't care what anyone says, I'll still love you and you'll always be special to me..." Before another word was spoken, they both kissed tenderly. O'Connell's fingers feeling the stubble on the back of Hermann's head. They refused to part from such sweet kiss, they simply refused. Because in their minds, they fear they'll never get this chance again.
The door to the hotel room slowly opened, Karl stepped into the room and closed the door in front of him. When he turned around, Leon was standing there, shirtless and his pants unbuckled. Karl's fingers touched one of Leon's studly carved pectorals, stroking the firm muscles. Leon's hand grabbed Karl's hand, then slowly, he pulled him close to the balcony. The moons were out, illuminating their moment with a brilliant, soft moonlight. The lights of New Helic City sparkled around them, the summer breeze blowing lightly against their naked skin. Leon's hands undressed Karl from his uniform, then tossed the jacket, hat and shirt back in the hotel room. Slumping to one knee, Leon's hands caressed the smooth skin on Karl's back. His lips kissed Karl's abdomen passionately, taking in deep, amorous gasps between kisses. The colonel's fingers slid passionately through Leon's slate-blue hair, tipping his head all the way back, his mouth open to draw deep, lustful gasps and moans. His eyelids fluttered shut, then pulled Leon's body closer to his. "Gods, I missed the taste of your body...." "Oh, but Leon.... silly Leon we hadn't make love since Tuesday..." "3 days is a hard, long wait..." Leon's tongue licked the ironboard stomach, causing Karl to arch his back some. "Especially with a body like yours..." "Stop it, you're making me horny." Karl chuckled while letting out another deep gasp. "That was the point..." Leon chuckled before sliding his tongue in Karl's naval. "That tickles!" "I know..." "Oh Leon, I need your help on something...." Karl used his hands to pull Leon's head up so he was looking up at him. "My help?" Leon let go of Karl and stood up, looking extremely worried. "Is something wrong?" "It's Rob and Jake..." "....what about Rob and Jake?" Leon shot Karl a disconcerting glance. "They need our support, Leon... you must remember that we both were in the same predicament when you personally enlisted in the Imperial services with no viable reason!" "That is different... neither Jake nor Rob enlisted for love." "But Leon....!!! You don't see it? Hermann was begging us for help! They're our friends!" The lovely blonde Imperial pleaded with his immortal slate-blue haired lover. "They have nowhere else to turn!!!" "..." Leon put his hands on the balcony railing, his exotic indigo eyes narrowed for a second, then he looked up at the moons. "...please, Karl.... tell me that helping them is the right thing to do. I lost perspective of that ever since I lost the will to defend..." "Trust me..." Karl put his hands on Leon's handsome cheeks, then stole a few kisses. He nibbled lightly on Leon's bottom lip a little and parted. "You'll be thanked for your services." Leon slipped his muscular arms around Karl's pale body, giving the latter opportunity to do the same. They kissed in the light of the full moons, not letting go, not parting at all.
The five men entered the Officer's Club, where Nancy was performing one of her songs. She spotted Hermann as he signalled for the back, Nancy cut her concert off short. They went into the back and into Nancy's dressing room. "I swear you boys have bad timing." Nancy frowned, closing her door. Hermann searched the clothes in her room, followed by O'Connell. "Where'd you stash them?" "Robby...." Nancy opened the closet door to show them an assortment of clothes that might fit them both. Hermann looked at Leon with a concerned look on his face. "Please tell me this won't hurt him..." "Not in the least, I'll make it painless..." "I hope so..." O'Connell frowned, then stripped out of his uniform. "Okay, I'm ready." Leon clapped his hands together and started chanting some words. "Blessed Venus, be my guide. Heed my call and stay by my side... grant me this one true wish.... turn this manchild into a woman to escape the confines of darkness." O'Connell was soon in a coccoon of fuschia energy, he screamed as the energy consumed him. But soon his voice cracked and became more feminine. The energy ribbons constricted O'Connell's muscular body into a slender, petite form. His hair grew to back length and his eyes became big and thoughtful... but now O'Connell has nice tits and a cute ass. When the energy ribbons vanished, Thomas opened his eyes and he howled like a wolf. "Hoooooowwwwllllll old his she!?" "Baka!" Leon slapped Thomas's cheek. O'Connell's eyes opened, inquisitive hands felt all around, that's when it dawned on him.... "WHERE'S MY DICK!!!??? MY BALLS????!!!!" O'Connell squeezed her chest and felt around her vaginal area. She screamed louder, then darted behind the curtain. "I'm a girl!!! I'M A GODDAMNED GIRL!!!!" "Oh, Jake.... it can't be that bad." Hermann looked behind the curtain. "You look so beautiful." "LEON!!!!! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!!!!!!!????????" "I made you a female, don't worry.... it's temporary.... but gods, I hope that I didn't turn you that before that time of month..." "Too late.... it's already hit..." Karl had to reply with a snappy comeback. "SOMEONE GIVE ME A CAMERA!!!!!" Thomas shouted in glee. "I GOTTA SAVE THIS FOR PROSPERITY!!!!" "Oh? Does O'Connell remind you of Fiona?" Karl's eyebrow quirked. "HELL NO!!! O'Connell's prettier." "Here, put this on." Nancy handed O'Connell a nice Spring dress, the patted her on the back. "Don't worry, Jake... I'm sure it'll help you get to safety." "I hope so too...." O'Connell sobbed, her eyes covering her hands. O'Connell put on the dress and fishnet stocking, Nancy had to help with the shoes but other than that... "Now.... to get outta here..."
