Angel: lalalala.
Sage: You're happy.
Duo: What gives?
Angel: I had a good day. And I finally updated another fic. It's taking me awhile, but I'm getting there.
Yaten: Okay then.
Sage: On with the fic!
My Lord, My Lover
Hotaru's eyes fluttered open and she looked around, disoriented. Her eyes rested on the lump next to her in bed. The black sheets concealed the form of her lord. and lover. She looked around at the room, the light filtered in through the windows. They'd created their own power years ago so it was like a sun to them.
She cuddled closer to Duo, taking in his warmth. It had been dark when he'd carried her here, not caring if anyone saw them. He'd laid her down with care and turned off all the lights. He was meant for darkness, she thought to herself. So totally fit for it.
Arms wrapped around her and pulled her against Duo. He breathed in the scent of her hair, liking waking up to seeing her. He smiled softly as her still sleepy eyes looked up into his.
It took a moment for her to realize she was looking at Death. Really looking. Her eyes widened as she took in the smile, the soft features, the violet eyes, and the soft chestnut hair. He looked no older then she, yet she felt like a child staring up at her first crush.
A chuckle escaped his lips and Hotaru blushed for being caught staring. "Good morning" she mumbled. Ducking beneath the covers and nuzzling her head against his chest.
Duo smiled and reveled in the wonderful feeling have being there, with her. For the first time in his immortal life, he'd woken up from the most wonderful rest, with a woman lying against him. Loving him.
It was amazing.
"Morning." He murmured. Duo slid deeper into the covers, pulling them down with him, until he was face to face with Hotaru. She blushed again, but smiled. "It's nice to see that smile. I don't like my favorite messenger to be unhappy."
"You certainly solved my problem." Hotaru said sarcastically. After a moment, she realized what she'd said and sighed, thinking it would be stupid to blush again. "We should get up." She said softly, thinking of the other generals and gods.
"No." Duo said firmly. He never wanted to get up. "Not yet." He closed his eyes and pulled her closer until she could feel his heart beat against her ear. "Stay.." He murmured.
*********************************************************
Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna had looked everywhere for Hotaru. She wasn't anywhere to be found. "Should we alert our Lord yet?" Michi asked quietly.
"I think so." Ruka sighed. She did not want to be the one to do so.
"Think he'll be mad?" Michi asked.
Suna was deep in thought, not listening to the other general's conversation. Hotaru, where are you? It's not like you to take off. Maybe. No. Mi lord wouldn't grant permission to go outside the underworld. So where.
"Suna?" Ruka was waving a hand in front of her eyes.
"Yes?" She asked.
"We're going to go so his Lordship together."
"That's the best idea we could come up with." Michi added.
"Alright." The three women started the long walk to Death's chamber. Sun was the one to knock.
*************************************************************
Duo's eyes shot open and a growl escaped his lips. "Damn the morning." He muttered. "Why can't people leave a guy alone?"
"You're a hard one to leave alone." Hotaru stated, her eyes still closed, making Duo even angrier. Whoever was on the other side of the door was disturbing him, and Hotaru.
"What!?!" He bellowed. Ruka, Michi, and Suna flinched.
Hotaru opened her eyes and sighed. She could read the anger radiating off of him. "Duo?" She whispered. He glanced down and smiled slightly.
"Sorry." He murmured. It had been the perfect morning, till someone decided to interrupt it.
"My lord?" Ruka called.
"What?" Duo sighed.
"Um. we can't find Lady Hotaru."
Duo blinked, the hilariously of it all. He chuckled then burst out laughing. Hotaru sighed, "Damn my friends to hell."
"We're already there." Duo said laughing.
"Where sir?" Michi asked through the door.
"In hell!" He called back. To Hotaru, "Say hi to them."
"Baka." She muttered. "Damn you all!" She then called to her friends.
"Taru?!" Suna asked in disbelieve.
"Yes?"
"What are you doing in Death's chamber?"
"Trying to sleep." Hotaru yelled.
"Nani?" Ruka called. She didn't quite get it, so she flung open the door. What did she find, but a pissed looking naked friend and a god laughing his head off buried beneath the covers.
"Um.. Hi." Michi said softly. She looked quite uncomfortable.
"We've got to.. go." Suna said. She pulled the others out of the room and shut the door firmly behind her.
"By all that's blessed." Ruka muttered. "Taru's getting some and while I'm not!"
Sage: You're happy.
Duo: What gives?
