Blind

Chapter 15

Heero walked into his house and looked around as if for the first time and Wufei just smiled seeing Heero Yuy looking around with almost childlike amazement. He chuckled and started heading up the stairs to pack his things.

"Where are you going?"

Wufei stopped and turned to look down the few steps at Heero who was currently standing behind his sofa.

"I'm going to finish packing. You don't need me around anymore."

"Why the rush? I'm not kicking you out."

"I know, but--"

"I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Oh?"

Wufei descended the stairs, his curiosity peeked as to what Heero thought so important to discuss upon walking in the door.

Heero couldn't read anything on Wufei's face. No clue or hint as to what the man was thinking and it caused his stomach to roil just a little more. But he didn't let it deter him from getting things out in the open.

"What is it? Is something wrong?"

"No. I just wanted….."

Wufei waited for several moments until finally he prompted his friend, seeing his difficulty.

"You wanted 'what'?"

"I….."

Heero tried to voice the thoughts racing through his mind but nothing seemed to want to come out so he blurted out the first thing that he could.

"When you look at me…..what do you see?"

Wufei's brow furrowed as he considered Heero's question.

"What do you mean 'what do I see'?"

"Exactly that. What do you see?"

"I….I see you. Heero Yuy. What else would I see?"

"Being blind….it helped me to see things that I didn't realize were even there."

Heero closed the small distance between them, his eyes never leaving Wufei's, and all Wufei could think about were the intense eyes fixated on him. Were his eyes always that blue?

"When I look at you now I see……."

Trembling fingertips ghosted over Wufei's burning cheeks and Heero leaned in until Wufei could feel the hot breath on his own lips as Heero spoke.

"I see someone…..that I want to kiss."

Wufei just stood there as Heero gently pressed his lips against his own in a chaste kiss. What the hell is happening?!

"Wufei…." The deep voice penetrated his shock and he slowly opened his half-lidded eyes fully to see dark blue eyes boring into him. "Kiss me."

As the soft lips pressed against his again, Wufei's whole body began shaking and he wasn't entirely sure he was still breathing, but he did as the husky voice commanded and he slowly responded to the tender attention and kissed Heero.

Once he felt Wufei respond, Heero took things further and let his tongue glide along the fuller bottom lip before nipping at it, eliciting a gasp from the surprised man. Heero capitalized on the slightly parted lips and let his tongue slide right between them, gaining access to a wet, warm cavern. He began massaging Wufei's tongue and finally he sucked it into his own mouth, causing Wufei to loudly moan and lean into him.

Wufei tried to keep himself in control and not let the situation go any further, but strong hands which had been holding his hips in place found their way under his shirt and lifted it over his head. Suddenly, the sensation of slightly calloused hands roaming over his overheated body was accompanied by hungry lips and teeth as Heero made his way down Wufei's neck and across his collarbone.

Wufei had no idea his body was being guided to the floor or that his pants were being undone. He was only aware of the tantalizing feel of Heero's skin against his own, the feel of his weight resting on top of him and ultimately, the feeling of Heero inside him.

"I don't want you to go."

Goosebumps spread over Wufei's body at the quiet statement whispered by his ear, Heero's soft breath tickling. He sounds so sincere. Where did this come from? Am I that unaware of the people around me? I had no clue Heero had feelings for me or that Duo….

At the thought of his friend, Wufei recalled that night when Duo seemed to be amused by some joke that involved him. Did he know how Heero felt? Why didn't he say something? Everything is so screwed up! How the hell did it happen?

Suddenly, Heero's heat was taken away as he got up from their sprawled position on the floor behind the sofa. Wufei sat up and watched as Heero found his pants and put them on. He could tell from his body language that the man that had confessed his feelings and shown so much passion only moments ago was gone.

"It's because of him, isn't it?"

Heero had his back to Wufei, head bowed, and Wufei could see his tense muscles twitching all along his back, a strong back that currently bore the evidence of Wufei's pleasure.

"Are you…involved with Duo? Did you just cheat--?"

"No! I told you before, I don't think of Duo in that way. We're just friends."

Wufei saw Heero's tense shoulders drop and he heard a quiet exhale of breath. He didn't want to hurt either of his friends. The past few months had been anything but ordinary and Wufei just wanted to get things back to normal. Once my life is back in order I can deal with this. But right now….

"I should go."

Wufei stood up and began collecting his clothes, putting them on quickly. As his shirt fell over his head he found himself pulled against a hard, warm body and insistent lips were pressed against his own, stealing his very breath. Finally, Heero pulled back and gazed into Wufei's eyes.

"I told you I don't want you to go."

Wufei searched the intent steel blue eyes and he swallowed hard. He'd seen Heero intimidate many people with lesser stares and he found himself becoming overwhelmed by Heero's presence.

"I…..can't."

"Why."

Heero's question sounded more like a challenge and this helped to bring Wufei out of his uncertainty. Because if it was one thing he didn't back down from, it was a challenge. Especially one from this man.

"I have a home, Heero." Wufei wrenched himself free of Heero's grasp and started for the stairs. "I had a life before all this happened and I'd like to return to it."

He looked back to see Heero standing right where he left him, looking up at him with a mixture of fear and anger. Wufei sighed and sat down on the stair, running his fingers through his hair.

"I need to think things over. And I can't do that with you around."

A creak and a shadow alerted Wufei to Heero's approach. Heero leaned over from his position a few steps down and tilted Wufei's face up to meet his.

"Do you care about me at all?"

"Of course! I wouldn't have--!"

A finger on his lips stopped his rant and thoughts.

"Did you enjoy your time here with me?"

The finger was removed from his lips but Wufei still felt its tingling presence.

"….yes. But the situation wasn't normal. You were blind."

"And now I'm not and I still want you to stay with me."

"Heero…"

"I'm not asking you to give up your life. I'm asking you to be a part of mine."

Wufei felt as if he couldn't breathe and his body broke out in sweat. He tried to think of something to say, some argument against Heero's rash plan, but not a single intelligent thought came to mind. Instead he thought of the quiet moments they had shared the past few months and how easy it had been for them to live together once both tossed aside their egos. And most recently….they had shared everything about themselves only a few feet away from where they currently were.

When Duo kissed me, it didn't feel like this. It was pleasant but he doesn't do this to me. Heero raises my passion one moment and calms me the next. I have never experienced anything like it. It's frightening and exhilarating at the same time.

"I'll….stay. But only for a week."

Wufei saw the disappointment in Heero's eyes and looked away, standing up and slowly ascending the stairs once again, speaking as he went.

"The doctor said you should take it easy with your eyes and something tells me that with me not around, you won't follow his orders at all."

When Wufei reached the top of the stairs he looked down again and saw Heero with a small smile curving his lips and he smiled back. Yes, I see it now too, Heero. I see a man I want to kiss. I'm not blind anymore.

The End.
