Chapter 08: Not Very Trusting

Agron let out a groan when the chatter outside the room pulled him from his slumber. It was still early morning for there was very little light coming into the room. He rolled onto his back and stretched out his long body, willing his muscles to work, he knew he had to train these new shits today. Soon he felt lips and fingers sliding across his bare skin. The lips started to move from his neck down his chest, pulling his nipple between teeth as the progress continued lower. Agron held back the moan that wanted to escape and took a hold of the shoulders, pulling the wandering lips back up to his level. "Spartacus awaits us." He said when the brown eyes met his.

"So let him wait longer." Auctus finally said trying his hardest to go back to what he was doing.

"I do not wish too." Agron mumbled as the fingers started to slide under his subligaria. His brow furrowed as the hand did not stop its movement and the lips found purchase on his neck again. Auctus either did not hear his words or he did not care. "You would force me?" Agron finally asked his friend.

Auctus sat up on his knees beside Agron and stared down at him, removing both hands and lips from the other man's body. He had never forced himself on another man and he was certainly not going to do so to his friend. "I would not force you." Was all Auctus could think of to say. He knew he shouldn't have assumed that because they were together one night that Agron would continue to want to be with him. The man was not that trusting even when it came to his friends and seemed even more so with intimate matters and it was stupid of him to think it would be any different. "Apologies…I over step." He got up from the bed and picked up his leather and weapons.

Agron sat up and swung his feet so they were resting on the floor. He let out a sigh as he looked up at his friend. "None are needed…I just…" Agron fell silent when Auctus held a hand up at him, indicating he didn't have to explain himself. He didn't want to make Auctus feel bad but he didn't want to go there again, he couldn't let himself go there again. It wasn't that he didn't trust Auctus, he was one of the few Agron did trust, but the words he spoke the Auctus weeks ago about him being cursed was still filling his mind and he would not see Auctus become another example that proved that. Agron stood up letting out a yawn and then strapped on his leather and weapons. He could hear Mira, Spartacus and Crixus talking outside the curtained doorway, so he listened to what they were saying.

"I will get all the women and those that are not of fighting abilities to help me prepare what we can from the villa fro when we take leave…" Mira's voice sounded tired but sure.

"That is greatly appreciated." Spartacus too sounded tired and Agron wondered how much sleep had claimed him. "I will set to task working with the boy…" Agron knew that he was talking about the wild little dog.

"Is it wise to trust him again?" Mira asked worry thick in her voice. Agron knew there was no changing Spartacus' mind on the matter.

"Trust must be gained the boy will learn." Spartacus said in reply, Agron knew there were a lot of meanings behind that one statement.

"I shall take my men to scout the area, to see what can be gained before we take leave of this place." Crixus commented.

"And I shall have Agron train the new recruits." Spartacus said and Agron stepped out through the curtain at his words. Auctus right behind him, Spartacus smiled at them in greeting before he spoke again. "Go." He said to Mira and Crixus.

Agron leaned against the wall letting out another yawn as Spartacus turned to face him and Auctus. "So I am to be Doctore now?" Agron asked with a raised eyebrow. Auctus chuckled beside him causing him to smirk.

Spartacus smiled and then gripped both of Agron's arms. "You know I hold you most trusted and your talent is great. They shall learn well."

Agron nodded, he would do what needed to be done, but he still held doubt in these new men. "Shall I fetch them?" He asked and Spartacus nodded and then pulled Auctus down the hallway with him. Agron turned and headed to where he had left the new recruits the previous night and noticed that the men guarding the door were different. He nodded to them both as he entered the room. Most were still asleep, only the old man had his eyes open. "Wake them." Agron told him and stood with his arms folded across his chest. He watched as the old man woke them all up, the three women sitting up instantly looking up at him. The wild little dog kept his eyes closed even as the others moved around him. "You three Mira is awaiting you, go." Agron pointed to the women and they jumped to their feet and rushed past him. "You four out to the courtyard, go." He said firmly and the four men rushed out of the room. "Up wild little dog." Agron pushed his foot with his own and the wild little dog hissed at him.

Nasir jumped to his feet letting out a growl at Agron. "Do I get trained now?" He snapped. Despite the attraction that he felt towards Agron, he still did not trust these men.

Agron raised an eyebrow at him. "Spartacus thinks you trainable." Agron stepped closer to him, making the little man step backwards so he was backed against the wall. "Know I have my eyes on you. Try it again and the fucking Gaul will be the least of your worries!" He added a growl before he smacked his hand against the wall beside the wild little dogs head for emphasis.

Nasir flinched at the sound Agron's hand had made so close to his ear and then stared up at Agron, locking eyes with him. Those bright green eyes held nothing but truth in them, something that Nasir wasn't used to seeing. He nodded once and felt himself swallow hard. It wasn't because of fear though.

Agron stepped away from the little man and turned towards the door. "Come." He could hear the light footsteps behind him. Agron led him to Spartacus without saying another word to him.

"Ah, are you ready to train?" Spartacus asked the boy as Agron stopped beside him.

Nasir just stood there, his eyes narrowed at Spartacus. When the man handed him a sword Nasir heard Agron growl beside him. He looked up at Agron just as Spartacus spoke.

"Go, Brother, train the others. We shall be fine." Spartacus clapped Agron on the arm and nodded to him.

"He wishes you had ended my life?" Nasir asked as he watched Agron walk away.

"No. He does not trust easily, much like you." Spartacus offered the boy a smile and watched him grip the sword tighter.

Nasir watched Agron for a few more moments before he turned his gaze back onto Spartacus. The man was taking up a fighting stance and Nasir let out a hiss. This was not going to be good for him.

Nasir was getting tired and bruised, he had never done anything like this in his nineteen years and he was becoming frustrated. "I am no fucking soldier!" He snapped at Spartacus and heard the Gaul's all laugh at him. He let out another growl in response.

"Nor will a tiny man be a fucking Gladiator." Rhaskos barked out with laugher, causing another fit of laughter to erupt from his fellow Gaul's.

"Send him with the women and let him warm our beds, which are where his true talents lie!" Acer added and he and Rhaskos bent over with laughter.

Nasir hissed at them again and couldn't keep the blush from forming on his cheeks, which made him more frustrated. He was not a whore, he was a body slave, but to these men there seemed to be no difference in the two.

Spartacus cast a disapproving look at Crixus and his men before he turned his attention back to the boy. "You will be…"

Nasir glared at Spartacus, not really believing the man. He shook his head and glanced down at the sword in his hand. "It is heavier than I imagined." Nasir moved the sword in his hand and glanced around him, his eyes landing on Agron who as he said was keeping his eyes on him, even while shouting orders at the other men.

"It will get lighter in time."

"And when it becomes as feather, what purpose do you suppose it should fly too?" Nasir asked narrowing his eyes at the man in front of him.

"To a purpose of your own choosing…"

Agron walked around the group of men he had sparring against each other and stepped up behind Donar, who was too watching the wild little dog train with Spartacus.

"Should have put him down, once a dog bites it will bare fucking teeth again." Donar said and looked back over his shoulder at Agron.

Agron watched Spartacus attack the boy again before he spoke. "Pity…" Donar smirked at Agron. Agron pushed him not even having to ask what was on his friends mind. Donar chuckled and walked out to the men that were sparring and started barking orders at them, Agron shook his head.

"Take rest, we will continue once breath is caught." Spartacus said to the boy.

Nasir nodded and started to head to the barrel of water when he realized it was surrounded by the Gaul's. He hesitated a moment before he continued towards the water, which he wanted and needed greatly. The Gaul's were all on one side of the barrel so Nasir decided he would attempt to get some water unnoticed, he took one of the cups and dipped it into the water filling it. He brought it up to his lips when he felt it smacked out of his hand, splashing the water down his front, over his feet and into the sand.

"The little pup wants water?" Acer chuckled and all the Gaul's started laughing.

Rhaskos stepped up beside Nasir and then kicked his feet out from under him making him fall on this stomach face in the sand. Rhaskos then dumped more water over Nasir.

"Drink little pup!" They all started laughing again as Rhaskos proceeded to push Nasir's face into the sand that had turned to mud, with his foot.

Nasir hissed and tried to get up, but was pushed back down. This time the foot was pressed to his ass, driving him painfully against the hard ground.

"Fucking Gaul's!" Nasir heard Agron growl and felt the foot that had been holding him down removed. Agron had pushed Rhaskos away and they were now squaring off, Agron towering over him. Nasir got to his feet and looked at himself, his torso was covered in mud and he could feel it over his face. Nasir watched as the Gaul's all started to surround Agron, but backed away when they heard Crixus' booming voice.

Agron growled at the shit-eating Gaul's surrounding him and then turned his head towards Crixus as he pushed his men out of the way. Agron was ready to fight them all if he had too, because he knew Spartacus would not want any harm to come to the wild little dog.

"Crixus take your men and go." Spartacus shouted and stepped between Agron and Crixus, placing a hand on Agron's chest.

Crixus just smiled and walked away. "Let Spartacus, train his pups." His men all laughed and they walked out the gates of the villa.

Spartacus looked at Agron for a while before he turned his attention towards the boy. "Go clean yourself."

Nasir nodded and walked off quickly towards the back of the villa where the slaves were allowed to bathe. He started cleaning his torso and face off when he heard someone coming towards him.

"Tiberius, what happened to you?"

Nasir turned his head and looked at Chadara. "The Gaul's happened." He growled and went back to washing.

"I have never seen such dirt upon you before." Chadara was shocked.

"It was not of my choosing."

"Here, I thought you may want some of these." Chadara stepped forward and handed him a leather pouch.

"What does it hold?" Nasir asked not sure what his friend had brought him.

"Open it and see." Chadara grinned at him.

Nasir finally returned the smile. He opened the leather pouch and looked inside. There were two small pots of the healing salve. A small pot of cream, that Nasir had applied to their Dominus after bathing to keep his skin soft, that had yet been opened, and a small amphora full of Myrrh oil. Nasir opened the amphora and lifted it too his nose, the scent was warm and woody. The scent was pleasant as it hit his senses. He closed the amphora and placed it back in the bag. He noticed another amphora that he assumed was filled with olive oil, many clay pots filled with herbs and a smaller leather pouch. Nasir pulled the pouch out and opened it. It held sweets, ones that their Dominus ate after eve meal. "Chadara…" Nasir was happy with what she had presented him with.

"It was our house. I thought we ought have some for our own." Chadara said softly.

Nasir nodded. "Well received and appreciated." He once again smiled at her.

"I thought the oils would come to great use for you." Chadara giggled. "For when you claim a man…" She giggled once again.

Nasir shook his head at the look his friend was giving him. "Have you been claimed?" He asked curiously.

"One of the Gaul's seems to want to claim me." She said hesitantly.

"You could and should do better." Nasir didn't think much of the Gaul's, they were simple minded brutes.

"Better as in…Agron?" Chadara asked watching him.

Nasir snapped his head up and narrowed his eyes at her.

"As I thought!" She giggled. "Does the sight of him make cock rise?"

Nasir felt a blush come on his cheeks at her words. "I have not broken words with him…he thinks name is wild little dog…" Nasir knew Agron didn't think that was his name but the man had taken to calling him that and only that.

"A title given only for your actions, break words, reveal name." Chadara smiled once again.

"He will…" Nasir shook his head. He would not get his hopes up.

"You avoid…" Chadara stated indicating he had not answered her previous question.

Nasir wrinkled his nose at his friend. "It does but it is of no matter."

Chadara squealed with excitement. "You must seek him out!"

Nasir shook his head. He wasn't going to pursue Agron's affections unless he was sure they would be well received. Chadara frowned at him. "Come let us eat, while the Gaul's are gone." Nasir led her to the food stores and took some bread and an apple for them both.

"You should take an apple to Agron." Chadara suggested.

Nasir smiled and picked up one of the larger apples. He did owe gratitude to Agron. Nasir walked through the villa beside Chadara and they found a place to sit and eat. He pulled the leather pouch over his shoulder and put the apple for Agron inside, so no one would take it from him. He looked around the courtyard trying to spot Agron, he finally spotted him. He was standing with his back against the high wall that surrounded the villa and the shorter man from the previous night was walking towards him. Nasir felt himself let out another hiss at the sight of the man. That was a man he did not trust.
