Resting against his favorite tree, Larak sighed. It was so peaceful here. A favorite haunt left over from childhood where the water ran fresh and clear as it danced lightly along its path. Strong arms enfolded Larak as Heero pressed a loving kiss to his neck. //Found you.//
Raising his hands to rest atop Heero's, Larak leaned back against him. //So you did.//
Nuzzling his lover's neck gently, Heero smiled as he pressed a tender kiss there. //What has you here, my loving star?// he asked tenderly as he settled himself down behind his lover.
Resting against the welcome presence, Larak smiled. //Thinking, wondering, relaxing. I'm glad you found your brother.// His thoughts strayed away from one of the main things he'd been contemplating. An old wish and how to bring it up.
//As am I my love. Anything else on your mind?// Heero held his lover close, sensing somewhat what his mate wanted to talk about, but giving him ample opportunity to speak his mind.
Sighing, Larak tugged lightly on a lock of his shoulder length hair. //Always. Have you thought anymore on...maybe having children? We've not really talked about it.//
//I guess...that it depends on you. We....could maybe try...// Heero said hesitantly. Truth was, he now knew his true heritage and was uncertain if he could indeed have children. He felt his heart sadden with that thought.
Turning around, Larak watched his love. //Are you sure you wish to? Are you sure you'd be alright with having kids around that are here to stay?//
Heero, for the first time in a long time, looked afraid and uncertain as he returned his love's gaze. //I...don't know. What if...I become....like my father?//
//Darkness isn't carried by blood. You're not him. It's born in one's heart.// Raising one hand to his lover's chest, Larak pressed it firmly against his heart. //You have a good heart. That's one of the main reasons I love you.//
Heero smiled tremulously, but his heart wasn't so reassured. He sighed and looked down. //I'm sorry, my love...it just terrifies me that if we did have a child, I might be a danger to it. Look at what happened with me and Duo!//
Moving about, Larak managed to pull Heero into his arms. //You wouldn't be. The very fact that you are scared to death of such an action proves how far apart you are from your bloodline. And that case with Duo was a show of temper, but all he ended up with was a few bruises. You did no lasting harm. You could have easily killed him, but you didn't. You kept control even if you don't think so.//
//Do you think so, Larak?// Heero asked softly, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
//I know so. I always have and always will.// Smiling, Larak kissed Heero's forehead, holding him tighter.
Sighing softly as he leaned into his lover, Heero smiled. //I don't remember that part of my life. According to Duo...that's a good thing. All I remember is the love I have grown up with here....and the life I have lived.//
//Then that's what matters.// Resting his chin upon Heero's shoulder, Larak whispered, "And of course you grew up loved. You had me afterall. I followed you everywhere."
Heero chuckled softly as he tightened his hold on his lover, burying his face in the strong shoulder before him. "Yes…I know. 'Twas quite annoying at times as well…" He said jokingly.
Stroking Heero's hair softly, Larak smiled. "Maybe so, but you loved me anyway."
"Love." Heero corrected gently as he held his lover to him tightly. "Never loved for my love has yet to die for you...it grows stronger with each day." He whispered softly.
"Mmmm. You're sweet, dearling" Holding tighter to his temperamental lover, Larak pressed a kiss to his forehead. "And the same goes for me. Never have and never will stop loving you."
"Good." Heero snuggled closer to his mate and sighed softly. He knew he should ask the question, but his mind was in turmoil about the actual prospect of having children.
Nodding, Larak held him close relaxing with his love's presence. "Anything on your mind, Hee-love?"
"Maybe..." Heero hedged as he lay against his lover. He sighed softly and buried his face in his mate's shoulder, something he only did when he was well and truly upset.
"Wish to talk about it?" Lightly massaging Heero's tense shoulders, Larak waited for him to continue.
"I guess...I'm afraid, Lar. I mean...I love you so much and if this went wrong...and something happened to the one who was carrying the child...I..." Heero trailed off, almost trembling with his uncertainty and despair.
"Shhh. We'll be fine. We have an entire contingent of Healers here. They'll look after that part and we'll look after each other." Pulling his lifemate tightly to him, Larak spoke firmly. "Nothing will happen. We will be fine. All will be well. You'll never lose me and I'll never let go of you."
Heero held his lover tightly to him. "I hope not...because I would be lost without you." He whispered softly.
"I know. As I would be without you." Pressing his lips lightly against Heero's, Larak coaxed his mate into deepening the kiss. Following the silent urgings, Heero deepened the kiss easily. He opened his mouth and probed with fleeting flicks with his tongue. Relishing the game of chase, Larak lightly caressed his mate's tongue as it darted back.
Smiling into the kiss, Heero broke it to lick down his lover's chin to a slender ear. "Shall we...practice now?" He purred out softly.
Holding tightly to his mate, Larak nipped lightly along Heero's jaw before whispering softly, "I believe we shall."
"Here? Or...at our bed?" Heero whispered softly before tracing his tongue along his beloved's ear.
Moaning, Larak tightened his grip on Heero's shoulders. "Sincerely, love, I really could care less where...so long as you don't stop."
Chuckling lowly, Heero continued tracing the shell of his mate's ear before sucking on his lobe. "So be it..." He whispered softly before suckling his way down his mate's neck.
"Mmhmm" Letting his head fall back against the soft moss, Larak tugged at his lover's shirt. "We're...overdressed, love"
"So we are..." Heero purred out as he grinned down at his beloved. He nimbly plucked the ties on his mate's tunic loose before attacking the exposed skin with tongue and lips. Arching into the touch, Larak reached for the ties to Heero's shirt, undoing them with shaking hands and pushing the tunic off and down well-muscled arms. Shaking the offending clothing off, Heero brought his freed hands into play over Larak's body, pushing the tunic off as his tongue played with erect nipples. Smoothing lightly callused hands down his lover's chest, Larak returned the favor, caressing Heero's nipples into taught peaks, teasing them with feather touches, then firm caresses. Heero purred as his back arched. He looked up, smiling at his lover, before leaning up and engaging Larak into a passionate duel of tongues. Joining his lover in the teasing, tormenting game, Larak moaned softly as they began a familiar dance. Eyes open and gazing into the other's while their hands drew patterns across warm flesh, lightening trailing in the wake of the dancing fingers, leaving behind a tingling heat that slowly spread throughout their bodies, gathering and straining for release as finally they came together, Heero guiding them to their final release before collapsing, against his beloved, muscles trembling.
Holding tightly to Heero as he lay atop him, Larak smiled, yawning slightly. "Love you."
Nuzzling Larak, Heero purred. "Love you too." He pulled out and gathered his lover to him, snuggling with him as he fell asleep. Relaxing into the soft moss covered by clothes, Larak smiled as he curled closer to Heero. A nap sounded wonderful.
