AC 201 Heero and Wufei are preventors called in for an accident on a sweeper ship captained by Duo. However it was no accident there's a killer on board and it isn't human. If you like suspense and gore you'll like this horror story. (At least I'm hoping to create suspense I believed I managed it.)
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters I only get my jollies off on torturing them and my readers with horrible gory stories like the one below. Bandia and a bunch of other rich and talented folk own these characters. Please don't'sue me.
Warnings: Rated R just to be on the safe side contains yaoi, gore and minor amounts of smut.
Secondary warning: I don't think my stories are scary, not to me personally but I have gotten that in my feedback (few as there was but there was some). A kind reviewer wrote to me and said, "don't change your style of writing. It's yours. There are people out there that will appreciate it." I thank that person. So I haven't toned it down or changed how I write but I am giving you fair warning.

Caresses In The Dark
He slipped out the building's main entrance and glanced around. There were a few buildings in the distance but none he thought Duo would have went to. The temperature in the dome was cool at night. Mars's natural temperature was moderate to freezing so Heero was not surprised that it was chilly. Bio domes were the old technology that colonies were based upon. Heero never thought he would visit such a place. If the circumstances were different he probably would have enjoyed the experience.
The dome was oval in shape. Its two main entrances on the longest ends, one leading to a large outside landing strip for ships and the other leading an access tube to the plant. The night was too dim to make out the plant in the distance. Mars's two moons were too small to give off much light.
Across the fields was a barn and behind it a silo. Heero glanced down the road they had come from and saw a hangar. He remembered seeing it as they drove in. There wasn't a landing strip in view so Heero walked the outer perimeter of the house. The landing path was on the other side of main road. He was just pondering what types of planes they had inside the dome when he saw it.
It was a tall and narrow structure. That looked to be some kind of house of worship. There were no marking or symbols to be seen yet somehow Heero knew that was what the structure was. As he moved closer, he noticed the simple plain walls of stone. The metal sheathing had been covered in a layer of cut Martin rock giving the building a limestone look.
The top of the building had five spheres. The center most sphere was wider than the others and on top of it was a cross but it was another sphere that caught his attention. Sitting on the second sphere from the right was Duo. Heero looked up at him feeling a waved of emotions before curiosity over came him. Why was he up there and after looking around, how did he get up there?
The building had a small side entrance and a large main one. Heero tried the side entrance and found it locked. He walked back to the main entranced seeing no handholds or ladders to ascend from the outside. Duo had to have gain access to the roof from inside.
The main entrance was huge taking up almost the whole height of the building. It should have look more like an amphitheater but it was definitely a church. The arched opening stretched over a hundred feet above him. The building must have been used for other large functions.
Heero looked in to the depths of the building noting the complete absence of light. The edges of the door revealed no switches so Heero proceeded in slowly. Heero walked in with his hand stretched out feeling for objects. He encountered no resistance and continued moving in a straight line down what he determined was the center aisle.
The structure was very large. It definitely had to have served for other purposes. He was in a good distance in when he started to perceive light again. As he continued to walk slowly towards it the luminescence got brighter. Heero soon noticed a single small candle burning on top of a huge table.
He looked around not seeing any other markings or symbols. The table was made of some kind of dark metal and it gleamed softly in the candlelight—the side portions of it disappeared into the darkness surrounding him.
When Heero looked to the right the soft light did nothing to dispel the darkness in that area. He wasn't afraid. He knew that Duo must have taken some passage from there to get to the roof. Did Duo walk in here blindly also? He had to have. If he could do it then so could Heero.
Yes, Heero thought to himself. If he did, so could he. Determined he decided to head right. He chose a path careful to stay in a straight line. If he got lost he would be able to find his way out again.
Quickly the meager candlelight faded. It was so dark he couldn't even see his hand in front his face. Duo did it. Duo did it. Duo did it. He chanted to himself as he walked deeper into the pitch dark.
Heero was deep into the darkness when he felt air moving. There was a door somewhere close by. He stayed on the path he set not letting this new discovery deter his chosen route.
Then Heero felt his stomach tense. It gave him barely a second warning before he realized he was not alone. Heero stopped listening.
"Where you looking for me?"
"Hn," he replied picking out Duo's location in the dark by the sound of his voice.
Duo's voice came from the area where the air was moving. A doorway. Heero tense again as he felt the brush of fingertips across his collarbone and shoulder. It was a tentative touch questing to pinpoint his location. Duo had moved so silently in the darkness he did not hear him approach.
"Why?"
Heero didn't respond. The smell of Duo's fleshly shampooed hair surrounded him reminding him of times spent in the dark smelling Duo's unique scent under the sweet smell of shampoo. His heart pounded so hard he was sure Duo could hear it. His pulse was throbbing in his neck under Duo's fingers.
As his silence continued Heero felt the pressure of Duo's fingers tighten on his shoulder. His thumb and index finger pressing against the junction of his neck and collar bone expose in the wide neck cotton shirt. He tensed even more than usual as he felt Duo's thumb move gently stroking the exposed skin. His heart was pounding. It was so strong he had to feel it.
"Did you mean it?
Heero knew he was referring to what he said, to him, at the time he was trapped in the suit. He struggled to speak past a mouth gone dry only his hesitation caused Duo's hand to drift down his chest. Duo hand went across his chest to his pounding heart the tips of his fingers maddeningly teasing. The soft cotton did nothing to hinder the feeling of his fingers stroking his skin. All those times he laid in the dark trying to image how good it would feel to have him touch him didn't compare to the reality of it.
"Hai," he cried breathlessly the word torn from him.
Duo stilled for a moment. He was silent for a long time. It seemed fitting in this dark place for Duo to be so. Heero felt his hand trail further across his chest the fingers almost purposely teasing a nipple before his hand dragged down his arm to take his hand.
Without a word Duo turned pulling Heero along. He limped along at a good pace as if he could see in the pitch black. Heero followed behind him on weak legs.
