Chapter 4: Two Silly Angels
Clow stood and approached the angel, Nickoli. Holding out a hand he said with one of his usual friendly smiles, "It's quite the pleasure to meet you!" Nickoli reluctantly shook hands with Clow, eyes scanning the two guardians. He looked over and examined Keroberos, getting a disdainful glare from the lion. This made Nickoli smirk, and when everyone noticed the staring contest between the two they watched, or actually, listened. Nickoli's voice could be heard in their minds, his telepathy obviously as strong as his Mistress'. {Don't challenge me, cat. I could beat you before you lifted a paw.} Maybe it was simply that self-assured arrogance, but Kero backed down.
Nickoli sat next to his Mistress, and his midnight eyes fell on Yue. Their gazes locked, and they both found themselves caught like that for a moment, each staring at the other. The contrast was unbelievable. Nia laughed at them.
"Why don't you three go out in the garden, and get to know each other, hmm? I'm sure it will be interesting..." she began to laugh again.
Nickoli stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said to his Mistress, "Nia Sotalia, did you do this on purpose?" The formal, polite demeanor was gone. What she had meant be untamable was clear now. Nickoli seemed to acknowledge no master.
"No, you paranoid psychopath," the woman said good-naturedly, "Now run along and play before I sic my good, obedient Gretchumanians on you again."
"Ha! You remember what happened last time right? One of them couldn't open its eyes for a month, and another couldn't walk. The third thought it was a bird and tried to jump off the roof. Do you really want that to happen again? Oh and thank you for the compliment."
"What compliment?" Asked Kero.
"She called me a paranoid psychopath," he said innocently, while Kero looked alarmed. "You've come on a day when she's in a good mood. Would you two like to see my little garden?"
The sun lion got up and said, "Well, of course. It's a nice sunny warm day and I need to stretch my legs." He immediately headed for the glass doors, calling over his shoulders, "Are you two silly angles coming?"
"Mm hmm. I wouldn't want to leave you alone out there lion. Especially when I haven't fed my giant Venus- flytrap..."
"What!? GIANT Venus -flytrap?!" Kero was obviously alarmed at the prospect. Yue laughed quietly at what he easily recognized as a joke intend to scare Kero. It had served its purpose well. As they walked out of the house, Kero eyed every plant with marked suspicion.
In the background, Nia could be heard saying quietly to Clow. "Let's just hope my young hell-spawn doesn't rub off on your angel." While Clow laughed and replied, "It might be a good thing, get Yue to come out of his shell maybe."
Keroberos had gone off on his own, favoring a faster pace than the other two. Yue kept glancing over at Nickoli, and was trying to make himself stop, but couldn't help looking at the dark angel. Nickoli chuckled a little and put a hand on Yue's shoulder, which greatly surprised the moon guardian. "You can look at me you know. It must be strange for you to see someone who looks so much alike. I know it is for me." They sat down at the base of the biggest tree Yue had ever seen. "We do look similar, although the colors are different."
"It's a very strange coincidence," Yue said hesitantly. He wasn't used to talking to people. Except for Clow and Keroberos, he never really had any other company. Being around Nickoli was even more difficult because he had never met a magical creation that wasn't made by Clow Reed. Or at least that's the reason Yue was trying to convince himself of. In reality, he was very attracted to the handsome young man, and didn't know how to deal with such emotion.
Nickoli gave Yue a beautiful smile, pushing some of his hair, which passed his shoulders back. "Not really, if you think about it. Nia and your master use the same type of magic, so we should expect some similarities between their creations. How old are you?"
The question was unexpected, so the moon angel needed to stop and think for a minute. "Just over two decades, and Keroberos is three years older than me. What about you?"
"You beat me by roughly two years. Keroberos is older than you? Wow, you're so much more mature than him."
Yue smiled faintly. "Is it that obvious Kero still thinks he's a kitten?" Nickoli laughed. "I'm probably more mature than him because I'm closer to human. I've always acted.......kind of adult. Even compared to Clow sometimes," Yue thought for a moment about how boring that could be. The times at home when Kero would chase wild animals, like butterflies and rabbits in the fields, and Yue would just stand or sit by a tree, watching Clow laugh at him and give chase as well, the two of them looking so happy while he stood by quietly, jealous of the fun they had together, doing silly things like playing in the fields.
"Hey, why don't we stop acting mature for a while and have some fun?"
"What? What are you pro-" Yue was about to say 'What are you proposing' when he was cut short by Nickoli, who pounced on him and began tickling his side and stomach mercilessly. The moon guardian burst into laughter, trying in vain to beat off his attacker, but was weakened by the tickling and the fact he didn't really want him to stop.
With the laughter, which was recognized by Kero as well, Clow came outside to see if his guardian had gone mad. Kero flew to the location of the sound, and Nia led Clow to the pair.
By this time, Yue had begun to strike back but he was still laughing, only now he was on Nickoli. Nickoli pushed him off, or tried to. They only ceased after Clow mumbled, "Well would you look at that."
Immediately stopping, both the angels realized what an awkward position they were in. Nickoli was lying on his back and Yue was straddled over him. They broke apart, looking very embarrassed and out of breath.
Suddenly Clow wished he hadn't come out here. Yue had been having fun, which was remarkable, especially since he was with Nickoli who he had only just met. Clow had created Yue and still didn't know how to get the moon guardian to lighten up. As he looked at the two angels, he saw something pass between them that even they weren't aware of yet. It was a look in both sets of eyes. Neither one really knew their feelings for the other, but it was simple for Clow to see they would fall in love, and quickly. They both retained an innocence that made trust easy between them. He felt a pang of jealousy. Clow Reed had always been attracted to his moon guardian, as much as he tried to deny it. But he also knew that if he were to give in to that desire, it would only hurt Yue. So this was a good opportunity for Clow. To see Yue happy, even if it was with someone else, was worth everything.
"I'm sorry, were we interrupting something?" Nia said, raising her eyebrow teasingly.
"No," replied Nickoli calmly, "We were just joking around. Being 'Silly Angels' as Keroberos called us. Was there something specific you ALL wanted?"
Kero looked a little uneasy at having found his brother in such an unlikely position and said something about having found an interesting fountain over in some other direction. Clow said, "Oh, Nia weren't you about to show me some remarkable spell you developed?"
"Yes, I suppose I was," Nia shot her creation another look, "Behave yourself," she teased, pleased at seeing a blush on Nickoli's face. The magicians walked back into the house, leaving the angels alone once more.
"That was awkward," Nickoli stated rather breathlessly.
"Yeah but fun," Yue replied with a smirk. Nickoli looked at Yue, surprised by the playfulness in his tone and face. They were still sitting at the bottom of the tree, and they were very close together. In fact, their legs were touching and when Nickoli turned his head, their lips almost met. For a moment they stayed like that, Yue's hand touching Nickoli's cheek lightly. Suddenly, Nickoli smiled at Yue again, jumped straight up and disappeared into the tree branches.
"Hey!" exclaimed Yue in shock. He hadn't realized Nickoli could move that fast, or jump that high without the aid of his wings.
"Yue!" Nickoli called in a singsong voice that echoed around the tree. "What's wrong Yue, can't find me?" He asked laughing. Yue's wings appeared and the white angel glided up and began searching around the branches of the huge tree. The hunt was going nowhere. Nickoli was just too fast for him. His new friend's echoing laughter was the only evidence he was still there. Yue stood on a branch and determined he should use his magic. It was then he felt arms wrap around him from behind and cool hands cover his eyes.
"Guess who?" Nickoli said, teasingly. Yue turned a little too abruptly, and would have fallen out of the tree if Nickoli hadn't been there. They ended up in each other's arms.
"Hi," Yue said quietly. In reply, Nickoli smiled and said, "Bye."
"What!" The moon guardian questioned just as Nickoli let himself fall backwards out of the tree. Yue looked over the edge, alarmed, just in time to see Nickoli's wings appear and send him swooping up. Yue took off to follow him, which was pretty difficult. Keroberos saw them up there, and challenged Nickoli to a race. The lion knew he was no match for Yue, because in their little duo, Kero got the brute strength but Yue got the speed and agility.
"I don't think you'll win, Keroberos," gasped Yue, still trying to catch his breath. "If you can't beat me, then there's no way you'll come close to him."
"We'll just see about that. Okay, crow feathers, let's go."
"How do you stand him?" Nickoli asked Yue, "So rude. Well, if you insist. Do you need a head start?
"From you? I highly doubt it. In three, two, one, GO!" and off they went. The race was around the giant tree, next to the house and back. After a very short time, Nickoli was back, beating Kero easily.
"That wasn't fair! The wind was against me!"
"We were flying in the same direction."
Their arguing went on for a minute longer, until Nickoli said, "I could be doing much better things than bickering with you."
"Like what?" Asked Kero, offended.
"Like talking to Yue." He motioned to the other being and they flew back down to the base of the tree. Poor Kero, feeling very rejected but too proud to admit it, flew away to amuse himself with the Gretchumanians.
"That was interesting," said Yue, "But I want to know more about you." The two were sitting very close again, this time intentionally. Nickoli cautiously wrapped an arm around Yue's shoulders, making sure the other angel knew was he was doing. Surprisingly, Yue leaned in towards Nickoli, settling comfortably next to him.
"Like, what, for example?" Nickoli said, trying not to show how flattered he felt.
"Where's your power rooted? You can obviously tell mine's from the moon, but where, beside your Mistress, do you get yours? And what are your attacks? Do you know any hand to hand combat?"
Nickoli answered, "The elements. Or at least how my Mistress sees them. Nia never really liked the idea of my having powers that would deal with the earth, for that would root me to the ground too much, and would hamper my flying abilities. So she replaced it with lightning, electricity. My powers are derived from fire, water, wind and electricity. Those are what I use in my attacks as well. Except for wind, which actually accounts for my enhanced flying abilities, and I usually use water in the form of ice. I know most forms of martial arts, and I train often," Nickoli sighed, "In fact, this place has been so boring lately that it's all I do."
Yue looked at his new friend, and trying to lighten the mood said, "Do you train in that?"
"And just what is wrong with my clothes? I don't think you should say anything Yue. I mean your clothes aren't exactly normal either. And no, I do not wear this when I train. I'd probably ruin it." Nickoli fingered the cloth of his sash, which was fine silk. "I wear simple training clothes."
"I like the way you speak," said Yue, laughing at the shocked look on the other's face. "I like the way you pronounce things. Your accent is nice." He smiled as Nickoli looked embarrassed. "It's French, correct?"
"Um, yes it is." Nickoli said, almost bashfully. "I sometimes forget you English think I have an accent. No one's around to remind me except Nia, and she's used to it. I'm accustomed to the way people talk here in England though, so to me you don't have an accent."
"I've never been out of England, so all the accents I hear around me aren't much different. That's why I notice yours so much."
"You've never been out of England?"
"No, nor do I want to be. I'm perfectly content right here."
Nickoli sighed. "It must be nice."
"What?"
"Feeling perfectly content."
"You seem unhappy in your current position. What's wrong?" Yue was very concerned, for he saw no reason that Nickoli should feel sad. In his opinion, Nickoli should never have to feel sad. //No one that beautiful or kind should// he thought.
"I don't know. Nia doesn't really pay much attention to anything anymore. She locks herself in a study, or one of her libraries and doesn't come out all day and most of the night. It gets kind of lonely, being the only coherent being moving around the house. That's why I envy you. Your Master, Clow Reed, cares so much about you and you always have Kero around. There's no one here for me to talk to, and sometimes I doubt if Nia even cares about me anymore."
Yue pushed himself closer to Nickoli and wrapped his arms around the other's waist. Nickoli was pleased with this and pulled Yue tighter into his arms. "I'm sure she still cares about you, Nickoli, but sometimes powerful magicians get wrapped up in their work. It's happened to Clow before, but it always passes. And don't worry. Now that you live so close by, you'll be able to fly over for a visit."
Nickoli smiled at Yue, and they only just realized that Yue was practically sitting in his lap. "So you're giving me an open invitation then?" Nickoli whispered.
"Of course," Yue replied in the same hushed tone. They sat there, eyes locked and breathing difficult. Slowly, Nickoli raised his head and pulled down Yue's chin, claiming the cool pale lips. The kiss was long and deep, neither one had ever felt anything like it before. Yue pushed Nickoli's back up against the tree and ended up laying on him. Nickoli moaned, pulling Yue closer, while the moon angel pushed his tongue into the other's mouth.
Yue's hands explored the tight muscles in Nickoli's chest and stomach, while Nickoli ran his fingers through the other's silver hair, never pulling a single strand. Each action came to them naturally, like instinct. When they finally broke apart, Nickoli held Yue, the two of them laying there, enjoying the close proximity of the other, the feel of the other's body against their own. Nickoli bent down his head and began kissing Yue's neck, bringing moans from the other.
"We probably shouldn't be doing this....."
"You're right," Nickoli replied laughing quietly, "We probably shouldn't...Do you think that would stop me?" Yue laughed at Nickoli and pulled himself up so he was in the position their masters had found them in while Yue had been tickling the dark haired angel earlier. This way, he was over Nickoli, looking down at him while keeping him pinned on the ground.
"Do you think I want you to stop?" He bent down and they began kissing again. Nickoli pressed his lips against Yue's neck, nipping lightly, playfully, causing shivers of pleasure to pass through the moon guardian. Nickoli pushed Yue off after a minute so they were lying side by side on the grass.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own them. Nope, no CCS people here. I do own Nickoli, YES! I still can't get over that.... pity poor Nickoli...I own Nia, the Gretchumanians, Liletou, and their mansion.
