Chapter Ten - The first time
Gan Ning was in the front line team. Gan Ning's squad had been given orders to ambush the terrorists as they exited the Hu Luo Gate. Three Wu scholars were being held hostage at the Gate and Gan Ning's job was to distract their attention away from the hostages and to kill as many as he could in the process. There were five others in Gan Ning's squad, including the Two Qiaos.
Zhou Yu, of course, was leader of the attacking team.
"Alright, we've got to go through with the plan exactly since there is human life at risk here..."
'That's funny,' thought Gan Ning, 'I thought we were trained to kill. Fancy that...'
"...My team will be waiting until we get the signal from the front line team who will enter the building through the hills at the side. When the attack starts we'll travel up to the main room at the gate and release the hostages. Once they are secured we'll meet up with the front line team and then...."
Gan Ning's mind wasn't registering the information. His mind kept showing him images of Sun Ce's face so close to him and the feel of his strong arms around his waist. He was shocked at Sun Ce's confession to him, but also pleased. As he'd woken up he'd spent fifteen minutes in front of the mirror staring at his reflection before admitting to himself how he felt.
"Gan Ning! Are you listening?" Asked an annoyed Xiao Qiao.
"Yeah, yeah, we attack, they get hostages, I get it. I did read the mission review you know."
"Right," interrupted Zhou Yu, "let's go."
**********************
When they arrived back at the Garden Gan Ning's body ached all over. They'd completed the mission without too much trouble but he'd been beaten by some of the larger terrorists and was left him with a few aches and pains from their attacks.
"Could've been worse, I could've died or something..." Gan Ning mumbled as he walked away from the others.
Suddenly he felt his heart lift.
"Well hey there Ning boy. Where do you think you're going?"
He turned to see Sun Ce standing by the fountain, leaning against a statue fish that was spilling water from its mouth.
Gan Ning's face lit up. This was the first time he'd seen him since the secret area incident three days ago. He ignored the name-calling and walked briskly over to Sun Ce.
"I was actually thinking of going to take a shower. The mission really took it out of me today."
"I see. Say, you busy later?"
"..No...I don't think so. Why?" he replied, raising an eyebrow.
"It just occurred to me that I've never spoken to you much, I figured we could maybe get something to eat."
Gan Ning's eyebrow lifted a little higher. Was Sun Cereally serious? He hadn't expected Sun Ce to do anything about how they felt, seeing how his pride always seemed to get in the way of everything.
"Um, sure. You could come by my room later...if you like." he suggested, crouching down to adjust his boots.
"Yeah, I might do that." Sun Ce replied, touching Gan Ning on the shoulder as he started to walk away, "See ya."
Gan Ning touched his own shoulder, goose bumps forming on his skin from Sun Ce's touch. He sighed and stood up, walked to his room.
*********************
Gan Ning was resting on his bed when he heard a knock at the door.
He stood up and walked to the door, finding a certain arrogant man leaning against the wall.
"Are you busy?"
Gan Ning blinked, looking over the man in front of him.
"Um...no. Come in."
They both went inside, Sun Ce closing the door behind him.
"God! This place is huge." Sun Ce exclaimed as he walked around Gan Ning's quarters.
"I know, it kicks ass. I've got my own kitchen outside and a huge seating area over there."
"Damn it, now I've got a good reason to try hard at missions and please my father..." Sun Ce joked, opening the cupboards in the kitchen.
"Whatcha doin'?" Gan Ning asked, eyeing Sun Ce cautiously.
"I thought I'd cook you something. You hungry?"
"Um yeah...I never knew Lord Sun Ce could cook." Gan Ning replied
"There are a few things you don't know about Lord Sun Ce, General Gan Ning." Sun Ce replied.
After a pause Gan Ning asked, "I've kinda got to go and have a bath. Do you mind?"
"Not at all."
Gan Ning just stood there, watching as Sun Ce systematically looked through the cupboards. Sun Ce turned around and looked at the spiky haired boy before him, watching him.
"Now go and take that bath before I drag you in there."
"That could be interesting..." Gan Ning mused, grinning at Sun Ce before turning towards the bathroom.
Sun Ce had spent the whole day preparing for this evening, telling himself to let the real him show through. So far it was working; he wasn't putting on any act and he felt very comfortable. He wanted everything to go perfectly since he was still not exactly sure how Gan Ning felt about him. He still couldn't believe that Gan Ning had let him in here and the thought of what they had done in the forest made his mind run through other possibilities of what he could do with the small muscular spiky haired boy.
He removed his armor and gloves and placed them on a chair as he continued to look through the cupboards for something to cook. He finally got the ingredients together to make a simple stir-fry and placed them on the chopping board. He had to admit that Gan Ning's quarters were amazingly tidy, not at all like he'd imagined them.
"I didn't know you were a neat freak," he mumbled to himself.
His mind strayed a little as he wondered what the bedroom was like. He walked through the living room and entered.
The room was amazing. The rugs were blood red, complimenting the black and white Chinese wall hangings perfectly. The feature that caught his attention was the bed. It had a dark mahogany wood frame and was big enough to sleep four people happily. The sheets were black velvet with a red hem, embroidered with a golden dragon at the top. The thought of Gan Ning caught up in those black sheets caused a shiver to work it's way up his spine.
"So this is where you've been. I thought you'd left."
Sun Ce turned to see the sight that would be etched on his mind forever.
Gan Ning stood in the doorway, his brown hair no longer spiky but dripping onto his shoulders, and he was only wearing a small white cloth towel that was wrapped loosely around his waist. His chest was muscular in all the right places and Sun Ce thought it was a crime that he wore clothings at all. Gan Ning noticed Sun Ce's wide-eyed expression.
"So, where's the food?" he asked, acting as if walking around his old archrival near enough naked was a natural occurrence.
"Forget that..." Said Sun Ce, finding his voice at last.
He pulled the semi-naked boy to his chest and leant down into a kiss. Gan Ning had anticipated the move, wrapping his arms around Sun Ce's neck. This time he took the initiative, nipping Sun Ce's lower lip then running his tongue over it before entering Sun Ce's mouth. Their tongues slicked across each other, causing the two men to moan quietly. Sun Ce was the one who pulled away.
"You have no idea of what I'd like to do to you right now," he said, his eyes running all over Gan Ning's body.
"I can imagine" Gan Ning replied, grinding against Sun Ce, making the older boy whimper.
Sun Ce looked down, eyeing the not-so-discreet bulge that had appeared in the towel, and grinned.
Sun Ce positioned Gan Ning with his back on the table and began to kiss his neck, getting small moans in response. Gan Ning's skin tasted like fresh mint from his recent bath with mint leaves, but his natural scent came through, a delicious citrus aroma that made Sun Ce want more. His lips began to move down to Gan Ning's chest, a small sensation that made Gan Ning's whole body tingle. As his lips reached his left nipple he started to untie the knot Gan Ning had made.
"What are you...?"
Gan Ning's question was cut off short as the towel fell to the floor. Sun Ce looked at the hardened length in front of him and grinned.
"...Nice Gan Ning, very nice."
Gan Ning looked down at Sun Ce, staring in total disbelief as he lowered himself onto his knees. Sun Ce knew this movement could freak Gan Ning out but he didn't care, all he'd wanted for the last four years was right in front of him, completely naked.
The feel of Sun Ce's hand at the base of Gan Ning's sex sent a warm feeling throughout his lower body, and when Sun Ce ran his tongue over the tip he leant his head back, hissing slightly, face to the ceiling with his eyes closed.
Sun Ce looked up then carried on his ministrations, running his tongue along the underside of Gan Ning's shaft, causing Gan Ning to draw in a sharp breath. A loud moan escaped him as Sun Ce took the head in his mouth and started to suck slowly.
"God.....Sun Ce...oh god...."
He held Sun Ce's hair in a death grip, making the older boy pull away.
"You want me to stop?"
"No!" Gan Ning replied, gasping slightly.
Sun Ce grinned then went back to work. Gan Ning's legs were becoming weak. If there was one thing he'd never expected it was getting a that from Sun Ce. He didn't care that it was Sun Ce who was doing this to him, it just felt so right...so good...His nerves blazed.
Bit by bit Sun Ce began to ease as much of Gan Ning's length into his mouth until he couldn't anymore. He started to suck hard, his tongue occasionally flickering along his shaft.
"Oh fuck...oh...unh....."
Gan Ning's voice was not much more than a whisper as he took in shallow breaths. He supported himself on the desk with his arms, his body feeling as if it would collapse at any second. Sun Ce was also supporting his waist with his arms.
He gazed down at Sun Ce to see his eyes closed, a look of concentration on his face as he sucked noisily.
"Uh....Unh...that's good...oh god...."
Gan Ning's moans grew louder as he thrust into Sun Ce's mouth, the burning heat of it producing pleasure he'd never even dreamed of. He was bordering on climax now. He brought his left hand around to run through Sun Ce's hair, encouraging him to keep going.
Sun Ce knew that Gan Ning wanted release and was gladly going to give it to him.
Sun Ce's right hand found it's way to Gan Ning's balls and he cupped them in his palm, running his thumb over them slowly whilst his tongue found it's way over every aching inch of Gan Ning's hard sex.
The feeling was too much for Gan Ning and he came helplessly, a strangled cry erupting from his mouth as he thrust one last time into Sun Ce's mouth. Sun Ce supported him as he swallowed it down, lapping up every last drop.
Gan Ning just stood there, still leaning on the table as he stared at the ceiling while he caught his breath.
"...Oh....MY GOD..."
Sun Ce stood up slowly, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand.
"So you've learnt my name already?" he joked, kissing Gan Ning on the nose, "Do you want to eat now?"
"...Oh god...."
Sun Ce chuckled and left the room, heading for the kitchen. He arrived back two minutes later to find Gan Ning in the same position he had been in when he'd left, looking up to the ceiling.
"Gan Ning, don't tell me you've never been given head before."
Gan Ning looked at Sun Ce, his breath still a little uneven.
"Never like that!" he exclaimed, picking up his towel from the ground and wrapping it back around his waist.
"Good huh?" Sun Ce grinned.
Gan Ning nodded weakly. He still couldn't believe what Sun Ce had done. He'd been through the same experience once before with a certain girl called Pei Lin, but it was nothing compared to this. There was a pause and Gan Ning realised he was hungry.
"So where's this food you promised me?" he asked, completely changing the subject.
"I gave up on the stir-fry idea. I didn't think I could concentrate knowing that you are in here wearing only a towel..." he purred, wrapping his arms around Gan Ning's waist.
"So what are we going to eat?"
"I am steaming some dumplings so we can eat it afterwards."
"After what?" Gan Ning asked, truly stumped.
Sun Ce's face broke into a lopsided grin.
"I was wrong about you. You are just a pretty face with no brain after all," he teased, "You can be really dense sometimes..." he finished as he nipped at Gan Ning's neck.
"Oh!.... that sounds good..." Gan Ning replied, catching on quickly.
Before he knew it Sun Cehad picked him up and had laid him down on the bed. He was suddenly aware that he was only wearing a towel. Sun Ce's eyes glinted and Gan Ning could see him looking over every single bit of his body.
"Do you know how long I've wanted to get you like this?" he asked, his lust taking over as he crawled across the bed till he was hovering over Gan Ning.
Gan Ning shrugged, aware of Sun Ce's hands roaming over his chest, feeling the tanned skin under his hands.
Sun Ce leaned down so his mouth was level with Gan Ning's ear.
"Long enough..." he whispered, flicking out his tongue and leaving a wet trail from Gan Ning's temple to his neck.
Gan Ning watched as Sun Ce slowly took off his robe, his finely toned chest becoming visible. Sun Ce's mouth covered his lips and a hot tongue invaded his mouth. Gan Ning responded by pulling Sun Ce onto him, a few thin layers of fabric the only barrier between their bodies. Sun Ce sat up and started to take off his own sash belt. A hand reached up suddenly.
"Don't...please..."
Sun Ce looked down at Gan Ning, his eyes showing worry. Sun Ce began to tied his belt, moving off Gan Ning and sitting next to him. He ran his fingers through Gan Ning's hair softly.
"What's wrong?"
Gan Ning turned his head away slightly.
"I thought things were going too fast."
"Oh..." Sun Ce replied.
He could understand Gan Ning's point, after all, they'd realised their feelings for each other a few days ago and he had already gone down on him. Sun Ce ran his tongue around his mouth, the aftertaste of Gan Ning still there. He smiled to himself.
'Oh god, what if I've scared him off....' Sun Ce suddenly panicked.
He didn't want to ruin how things were going. His lust had taken over him and he just wanted to feel every bit of Gan Ning's body. He quickly put his feelings back in line.
Gan Ning turned his head to face Sun Ce, a look of panic in his eyes.
"You're not mad are you?"
"Of course not, I was being hasty and I understand. We don't have to do anything you don't want to. Besides, you wouldn't want to give it all up on the first date would you?" he asked, winking at Gan Ning.
Sun Ce stood up and put his robe back on.
"Would you like me to go?" he asked quickly, looking around for his shoes, which had gone missing somehow.
"No, please stay." Gan Ning replied, grabbing onto his arm.
'Why am I being so needy all of a sudden?' he wondered.
Sun Ce smiled and sat back down on the bed, positioning himself so Gan Ning was sat in front of him as he massaged his aching shoulders.
"Mmmm...that's good." Gan Ning murmured, moving his back into the gentle hands.
After several minutes Gan Ning spoke again.
"I really don't get you, where did the Sun Ce I'm used to go?"
Sun Ce's hands moved to Gan Ning's lower back, kneading the muscles.
"The Sun Ce you're used to is a jerk..."
'You deserve more than that...' he thought bitterly, kissing the nape of Gan Ning's neck lightly, causing the former pirate to shiver.
"I mean, would you like to explain what's with the change of mood?"
"It....it's too complicated" he sighed, stopping his moving hands momentarily.
"I'm sure I'd understand. I'd like to know." Gan Ning replied.
Sun Ce took in a deep breath, "I've felt alone ever since my father put me on the battlefield, everyone has to respect me because I am Sun Jian's son, leaving me with not many friends with the exception of Zhou Yu....I guess the only way I've coped is by hiding who I am..."
This was one of the hardest things he had ever said and couldn't even admit it fully to himself but it was so easy to tell Gan Ning this information.
Gan Ning turned to face him.
"So, who are you?"
Sun Ce sighed and looked at nothing in particular.
"I don't know..."
Gan Ning saw the look of sadness in Sun Ce's eyes and wrapped his arms around the taller man, bringing him close to him. He couldn't bear to see Sun Ce look so sad and confused. It was un-natural.
Sun Ce rest his head in the crook of Gan Ning's neck as the other brown haired boy stroked his back reassuringly.
"Maybe we could find out together?" Gan Ning asked quietly into Sun Ce's ear.
"I'd like that." he replied, kissing Gan Ning's cheek as he lifted his head.
Gan Ning yawned, finally noticing how much the mission had exhausted him.
"I'm kinda tired"
"Oh...would you like me to go now then?" Sun Ce asked, not sounding the least bit like he wanted to.
"You could...stay over if you wanted," he smiled, "It can be like a sleepover after strategy discussions or something."
Sun Ce smiled at Gan Ning, "Sure, let me just go get my robe for sleeping" he joked.
Gan Ning stood up slowly, a shocked expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"I've just realised what I'm wearing!" Gan Ning exclaimed, looking down at the towel.
"Or rather what you're not wearing" Sun Ce grinned wickedly.
Gan Ning rolled his eyes and walked over to a cupboard, pulling out a small drawer from inside and rummaging through, producing a pair of black cloth underwear.
"Huh, I always figured you'd be a white cloth underwear kinda guy" Sun Ce mused, watching as Gan Ning slipped them on.
Gan Ning picked up his black and red robe, wrapped it around himself and walked to Sun Ce.
"Shall we check if the dumplings are done?"
"No" Gan Ning yawned, "I really don't think I can stay standing much longer after the way I got beaten up today."
"Fine, I'll take it off the charcoal stove. I don't want it burning down your kitchen while we sleep."
Sun Ce exited the room and returned to see Gan Ning wrapped up in the sheets, his eyes closed. He smiled as he stripped down to his white cloth underwear and joined Gan Ning in the bed. Gan Ning reached over to Sun Ce and pulled his arm around himself so Sun Ce was holding him. Sun Ce sighed happily as a quiet snore, more like a purr, came from the former pirate. He closed his eyes and drifted away, feeling a great weight lifting from his mind.
Gan Ning was in the front line team. Gan Ning's squad had been given orders to ambush the terrorists as they exited the Hu Luo Gate. Three Wu scholars were being held hostage at the Gate and Gan Ning's job was to distract their attention away from the hostages and to kill as many as he could in the process.

"Of course not, I was being hasty and I understand. We don't have to do anything you don't want to. Besides, you wouldn't want to give it all up on the first date would you?" he asked, winking at Gan Ning.
Sun Ce stood up and put his robe back on.
"Would you like me to go?" he asked quickly, looking around for his shoes, which had gone missing somehow.
"No, please stay." Gan Ning replied, grabbing onto his arm.
'Why am I being so needy all of a sudden?' he wondered.
Sun Ce smiled and sat back down on the bed, positioning himself so Gan Ning was sat in front of him as he massaged his aching shoulders.
"Mmmm...that's good." Gan Ning murmured, moving his back into the gentle hands.
After several minutes Gan Ning spoke again.
"I really don't get you, where did the Sun Ce I'm used to go?"
Sun Ce's hands moved to Gan Ning's lower back, kneading the muscles.
"The Sun Ce you're used to is a jerk..."
'You deserve more than that...' he thought bitterly, kissing the nape of Gan Ning's neck lightly, causing the former pirate to shiver.
"I mean, would you like to explain what's with the change of mood?"
"It....it's too complicated" he sighed, stopping his moving hands momentarily.
"I'm sure I'd understand. I'd like to know." Gan Ning replied.
Sun Ce took in a deep breath, "I've felt alone ever since my father put me on the battlefield, everyone has to respect me because I am Sun Jian's son, leaving me with not many friends with the exception of Zhou Yu....I guess the only way I've coped is by hiding who I am..."
This was one of the hardest things he had ever said and couldn't even admit it fully to himself but it was so easy to tell Gan Ning this information.
Gan Ning turned to face him.
"So, who are you?"
Sun Ce sighed and looked at nothing in particular.
"I don't know..."
Gan Ning saw the look of sadness in Sun Ce's eyes and wrapped his arms around the taller man, bringing him close to him. He couldn't bear to see Sun Ce look so sad and confused. It was un-natural.
Sun Ce rest his head in the crook of Gan Ning's neck as the other brown haired boy stroked his back reassuringly.
"Maybe we could find out together?" Gan Ning asked quietly into Sun Ce's ear.
"I'd like that." he replied, kissing Gan Ning's cheek as he lifted his head.
Gan Ning yawned, finally noticing how much the mission had exhausted him.
"I'm kinda tired"
"Oh...would you like me to go now then?" Sun Ce asked, not sounding the least bit like he wanted to.
"You could...stay over if you wanted," he smiled, "It can be like a sleepover after strategy discussions or something."
Sun Ce smiled at Gan Ning, "Sure, let me just go get my robe for sleeping" he joked.
Gan Ning stood up slowly, a shocked expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"I've just realised what I'm wearing!" Gan Ning exclaimed, looking down at the towel.
"Or rather what you're not wearing" Sun Ce grinned wickedly.
Gan Ning rolled his eyes and walked over to a cupboard, pulling out a small drawer from inside and rummaging through, producing a pair of black cloth underwear.
"Huh, I always figured you'd be a white cloth underwear kinda guy" Sun Ce mused, watching as Gan Ning slipped them on.
Gan Ning picked up his black and red robe, wrapped it around himself and walked to Sun Ce.
"Shall we check if the dumplings are done?"
"No" Gan Ning yawned, "I really don't think I can stay standing much longer after the way I got beaten up today."
"Fine, I'll take it off the charcoal stove. I don't want it burning down your kitchen while we sleep."
Sun Ce exited the room and returned to see Gan Ning wrapped up in the sheets, his eyes closed. He smiled as he stripped down to his white cloth underwear and joined Gan Ning in the bed. Gan Ning reached over to Sun Ce and pulled his arm around himself so Sun Ce was holding him. Sun Ce sighed happily as a quiet snore, more like a purr, came from the former pirate. He closed his eyes and drifted away, feeling a great weight lifting from his mind.
