The Tutor

Chapter 6

The Weekend

(AN: First we have to get them together before we can torture them a little, okay, Jack? Always impatient for the angst! BTW, this was really hard to write. Darn that PG-13 thing I'm locked into. Oh well, you all have good imaginations, I hope. Listening to Disturb's, "Liberate Your Mind". How ironic.)

Wufei's phone rang. He rolled over and answered it.

"It's Duo," said Duo's distinct voice through the instrument.

"Weird, I was just having a dream about you," said Wufei drowsily.

Duo chuckled deeply. "I hope it was a good dream."

"Um, yes, it was," said Wufei, sitting up and yawning widely.

"Wanna tell me about it?" asked Duo's voice.

"I'd rather tell you about it in person," said Wufei, "Can you come over this afternoon. We'll go to the beach. How's that sound?"

"Great," said Duo enthusiastically. "It's Saturday and I have nothing better to do than spend it with my Wufei."

"OH, so now I'm YOUR Wufei?" said Wufei, stretching out on the bed.

"As far as I know," said Duo.

"I just want to spend some time with you," said Wufei. "I'm bored."

On the other end of the phone, Duo sighed.

"I'll be over at one o'clock, okay?" he said.

"I'll be waiting," said Wufei.

Duo slung his duffle bag over his shoulder and walked up the path to Wufei's house.

Wufei opened the door in anticipation. A shy smile graced his lips.

"We alone?" asked Duo, setting down his bag.

As a reply, Wufei slid his arms around Duo's waist and nuzzled his neck.

"Yes," he said. "We're alone. Ma and Lao Lao are visiting my cousin, she just had a baby," he whispered.

"Cool," said Duo. "When are they coming back?" he asked.

"Two days," said Wufei.

Duo pulled back and looked into Wufei's eyes. "Two whole days?" he exclaimed.

Wufei looking away, suddenly shy.

"I hope you don't think I." he said, taking Duo by the hand and leading him over to the sofa.

"You what?" prompted Duo. "I swear, I don't think I've ever known anyone as shy as you are, you know that?"

"Sorry," said Wufei. "It's hard for me to talk about..some things."

"Things like how Wufei feels, for instance?" asked Duo.

"We don't talk about that in my family," said Wufei. "Oh, we care about each other, but we show it, we don't talk about it."

"Then show me," said Duo.

He sat back on the sofa looking expectantly at Wufei, one foot pulled across the knee of his other leg, his arm draped over the back of the sofa.

"What do you want me to do?" asked Wufei, wetting his lips nervously.

"Whatever makes you happy, Wu," said Duo softly. "You could start by coming a little closer."

Wufei slid over until his thigh was touching Duo's.

"Am I going to have to talk you through this whole thing?" asked Duo bemusedly. "Haven't you ever made out with anyone before me?"

"Just with you," said Wufei honesty. He was more embarrassed than he'd ever been in his life.

"Oh, you poor thing," said Duo. He threw back his head and chuckled, flinging his arm around Wufei's shoulders.

"Laughing at me is your idea of making me feel good?" asked Wufei sulkily, pulling away slightly.

"No, I think you're unbearably sweet," said Duo, who stopped laughing and pulled Wufei closer by tightening his arm around him.

"Sweet," repeated Wufei dully. "I don't know if I like the idea of being sweet."

"I can't help it, you are," said Duo. "And you know how I like sweets," he said slyly.

"You're teasing me," said Wufei. But, he relaxed and put his head against Duo's.

Duo slid his hand up and ran it down Wufei's face, down his neck and down to his collarbones, making Wufei gasp a little.

"I want to kiss you," said Wufei.

"You ask every time," whispered Duo. "Just do it."

Wufei leaned forward and found Duo's waiting lips.

"You taste like toothpaste," Duo said against his mouth.

"You taste like Duo," said Wufei, taking a deep breath.

"What does Duo taste like?" asked Duo.

"Chocolate, sometimes," said Wufei. "But mostly just you, sweet, and kind of salty too."

"You make me sound yummy," said Duo, looking up at the other boy between his long lashes.

"You are," said Wufei in a low voice. He pulled back. "You're all I can think of," he said quietly. "It's driving me crazy."

"That's the way it is when you love someone," said Duo.

"Is it?" Wufei's voice had become almost inaudible.

Duo slid his arms around Wufei's waist and pulled him down against him.

"Yeah," he said. "I love you too."

"I don't know what to do," said Wufei hoarsely.

"You'll figure it out," said Duo. "I'll help you."

"Promise?" asked Wufei.

"That's part of the whole love deal, too," said Duo, smiling. "I won't ever lie to you."

Their eyes locked, brilliant blue violet to dark chocolate.

"I believe you," Wufei said finally. He bent his head to kiss Duo softly on his open lips. The kiss deepened and Duo's hands went into his hair, pulling it loose around his shoulders and then sliding down his back and finally, sliding around his rear.

"You're making me hard," said Duo, groaning into Wufei's shoulder. "You have to quit or do sumthin about it, I'm dyin here!" he gasped.

"I know," Wufei said into Duo's neck. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to tease you."

"Just touch me," begged Duo, "We don't have to do anything else, but just touch me."

"Like this?" asked Wufei softly, brushing his fingers lightly against Duo's groin.

Duo closed his eyes. "More," he moaned, pushing himself against Wufei's hands.

"I don't want to do this on the sofa," said Wufei, suddenly, pulling back his hands. "Can you come up to my room?"

Duo swallowed hard. "Give me a minute." He took a few deep breaths.

"It just doesn't feel right to just jerk you off on my mom's couch," said Wufei, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself too.

Duo gave a strangled laugh. "I guess you're right."

"If you love me and I love you, then it should be special," said Wufei.

Duo just looked at him. "That's the first time anyone ever said that to me," he said solemnly. "I had a boyfriend a while back, but we never talked about how we felt, we just had sex every chance we got. I thought I loved him, but one day, he just told me he was sick of me."

Duo's eyes glistened. "He said I was too clingy, that I bugged him."

"I'm sorry," said Wufei. "That must have been awful."

"I went home and cut my arm a little," whispered Duo. "I thought that would make the pain go away. In a weird way it did. But Solo made me swear to never do that again." He was fingering a small white scar on his arm as he said it.

"He was right," said Wufei gently. "That won't help."

"You think I'm totally screwed up now, don't you?" asked Duo.

"No, I think someone was really cruel to you and you had a hard time dealing with it. If I knew who it was, I'd knock his head off."

Duo laughed. "That's my zhan shi," he said gently.

"Warrior?" exclaimed Wufei softly.

"That's how I imagine you, sometimes" said Duo coyly, "You make me feel so safe. I don't feel safe very often. And in case you're wondering, I'm clean. I never did anything stupid."

Wufei stood and pulled him up off of the sofa. "Come on, we're going to my room," he said.

"You sure you're ready for this?" asked Duo. "I'm not trying to push you."

"I'm sure I love you," said Wufei. "I'm sure I want you. The rest will work, I just know it will. I'll never hurt you, Duo. Never."

"I don't need to hear anything else. I'm yours," said Duo.

They began to kiss each other again and fumble at each other's shirts.

" Be still, I don't wanna rip your.Oh dammit," said Duo loudly, as he ripped Wufei's blue tank top down the side.

Wufei began to laugh. "We need to slow down, we have two days, after all."

"Two whole days," echoed Duo. He grinned.

"You can learn a lot in two days," he said.

"Now you're the tutor," mumured Wufei. "Teach me how to love you, Duo."

"I will, zhan shi."
