Fragile Faith: Chapter 17 – A Shooting Star and a Wish [Lime Warning]

There in the midst of floating petals were two teens.  The one with long chestnut hair sat leaning against a tree trunk while the other was laying with his head resting in the braided one's lap.  The braided teen was gently brushing the messy head that was on his thigh while the other had a firm hold on his chestnut braid.  In the quiet afternoon hour the serenity almost lulled them into slumber.  Only a soft voice broke the silence.

"Ne Duo…" The hand in his hair stilled, indicating its owner was listening.  Cobalt blue eyes looked up into violet ones.

"Is this a dream?" Duo laughed quietly.

"I'm afraid not Heero.  Why?  Do you want it to be?"  Cobalt blue eyes closed again.


"No… I just never though reality could be like this…" Violet eyes softened.

"I promise you that it will always be like this, Heero."  Heero smiled before getting up.  Duo followed suit and they headed back to the car so they could get some lunch.

~~~That night~~~

Duo parked his car in front of his uncle's house again.  Heero wanted to go back and see all the weeping trees in the starlight, and far be it for him to deny the Japanese teen of anything.  Before he even got the key out of the gate's lock Heero was already pushing open the metal door and jogging around to the back of the house.

'Now that is how he is supposed to act,' Duo thought with a smile.  Locking the gate again he ran to catch up.  He stopped right behind Heero and took in the sight before him.  Even though he had seen it countless of times throughout his young life it never ceased to take his breath away.  The weeping trees in front of a starry black backdrop almost making them glow, scattered around the field were the tiny blinking lights of fireflies adding to the magical air.

"It's beautiful…" Heero said softly before walking forward.  He sat down before the serene view and drew up his legs, crossing them at his ankles.  Duo waited a bit before he too walked up and sat behind Heero who immediately leaned back into the welcoming embrace.  The braided teen spread his legs so that the Japanese boy could sit between them.  Heero felt warm being enveloped by Duo and he just snuggled further into his warm arms.

They just sat there, enjoying each other's close contact.  Occasionally a firefly would pass by and glow dimly for them.  When one landed on Heero's leg, Duo gently caught it in his cupped hands.  Heero watched with eagerness as Duo opened his hands slowly, like a flowering blossom.  The firefly escaped, giving off one last shine before disappearing.  They both followed the ascent of the tiny insect and saw in the distance a streak of light race across the glittering sky.

"Shooting star!  Make a wish Heero."  The Japanese boy quickly bowed his head and folded his hands in front of him.

'I wish… I wish that…' He cracked open his eyes when he felt Duo covering his hands, enfolding them in a warm envelopment of his own hands.  Heero turned his head slightly to glance over at Duo but the braided boy had his eyes closed as well.  He smiled before bowing his head again.

'I wish that… nothing will take Duo away from me…'

When he opened his eyes, he turned his head towards Duo again.  The other teen was staring at him intently.  No words escaped their mouths as Duo brought one hand up to brush away the messy hair covering Heero's cobalt blue eyes.  It lingered for a second before trailing down to a slightly flushed cheek.  Eyes became lidded as the distance between them diminished.  Soon lips met again in a much bolder kiss.

The lips parted and tongues pushed out to meet with their counterpart.  They swirled around each other before exploring the wet cavern beyond.  Duo's hand continued its descent down Heero's neck and to the loose golden colored tank top.  His wandering hand pushed off the strap off of Heero's smooth shoulder.  Breaking the kiss and tilting his head he followed the path of his hand with his tongue.

"Uuh… Duo." Heero's breathing was harsh after the questing kiss and he panted as the braided boy licked and sucked his shoulder and neck slowly.  He barely noticed his tank top being pushed up but his senses went crazy when Duo's hand brushed against a nipple, he gasped sharply.

"Nnng… oh, Duo…ahh.." The words came out as a half moan as Duo brushed back and forth between the two sensitive caramel nubs.  Heero's moans grew more and more frequent, increasing in volume.

tbc…
