Chapter 04 Allies Moving In
Holding his breath he squeezed the trigger. The bullet hit its intended target perfectly. Letting out a breath he didn't move but waited until he was sure the other was dead. Slowly moving back he continued to look around the street searching for movement that might cause them trouble. "You're clear" a whisper carried over to him. He let out a sigh and moved away from the window carefully. In the distance they could hear the war planes dropping their bombs but it was still eerily silent.
"Tala you okay?" Ian asked quietly as he lit a cigarette when he sat against the wall. "Yeah you know it's always nerve wrecking" Tala answered quietly as he accepted the cigarette that Bryan handed him. "How much longer are we stuck here?" he asked looking at Spencer who sat quietly in the corner. "Couple of more hours, Kai radioed saying that we shouldn't move for a couple of more hours" he answered as he looked over the huddled group. Nodding Tala drew in a puff on his stick before looking over at the other corner where the silent figure sat looking out the broken window into the night sky.
Tala sighed and moved to go to him. He hadn't meant to punch the younger man. He regretfully thought catching sight of the bruise on his jaw but the kid had no right to mouth off to him like that either. He had apologized and Rei had accepted it but he knew Rei was far from forgiving him for that. Last night the young man had nodded and left to their tent where he'd been until they had called for Tala and his squad to take care of an assignment. Since then he had not talked to anyone and if memory served him correctly the Chinese had not even eaten that night.
"Rei you alright?" he asked softly "Yeah I'm fine" Rei answered as he glanced at the redhead before turning to look back outside. "There is no need for that it's relatively quiet on this side of the city" Tala said softly as he saw the ground lights trying to spot any enemy aircraft. "Yeah…" Rei murmured as he burrowed further into his jacket at the sudden chill that had descended upon them. Tala bit his cheek in frustration "Okay we're setting up watches tonight but right now we're going to eat" Tala said finally and turned back to the Russians who were debating whether to start a fire or not.
Rei glanced back and felt loneliness grip his heart. He hadn't meant to shout at Tala but it had made him so mad hearing Kai talking about the western Allied forces being on the other side of the river…
Flahback
"…Right yes we have your coordinates..." Kai had nodded and then asked "Where are your forces stationed?" "…across Vistula River…"
Rei blinked before he turned around and looked at a map of Europe on the wall and noticed a star sitting on the east side of the Vistula while and English flag was on the west of the Vistula.
"Rei what are you doing in here?" Tala had come up behind him with a folder of papers. "Why didn't you tell me that the Allied forces were on the other side of the river?" Rei asked as he glared at the redhead who glanced quickly at the map. "Rei we need…" "Need to do what? You told me that they know I'm alive I can go you said even Kai said I could leave when the western Allied forces were near" Rei hissed as he looked at some of the Russians making sure no one was listening. "No Rei we said we needed to talk to them before we send anyone back" Tala corrected as he sat the folder down on a nearby table. "Oh so now I see. Now that I can outshoot some of your men you don't want to let me go because now instead of taking up space I'm useful" Rei spat out quietly as he glared at Tala. Tala's ice blue eyes turned into chips of ice as he turned then onto the Chinese "How dare you?" he sent his fist onto Rei's jaw the other loosing his footing and landing on the floor at the force. "I'll have you know that we could have kept you as just a refugee chilling out until we met up with your forces but instead we offered you to do something. You were the one who signed that contract not me. If you didn't want to do it then you shouldn't have done it" Tala vented out as he looked down at the raven hair who had wiped the blood from his chin.
Rei unsteadily got to his feet his eyes fixed on the ground "Sorry." Tala blinked and came back to his senses and reached out "I didn't mean to hit you. I'm sorry Rei" Tala apologized Rei nodded and swiftly left the building.
End Flashback
"Rei wake up" a soft voice murmured into his ear. "Hmm?" Rei slowly opened his eyes looking up at whoever was waking him up. "We got orders we need to move on" Tala murmured softly as he moved the strands of long hair out of Rei's face. "Coming" Rei said softly as he uncoiled out of himself slowly grimacing as the pain shot up his spine from being in one position for so long. He stood and almost fell over when his body refused to move. "Whoa come on Rei no falling over" Tala said holding him steadily as he shouldered his weapon.
Rei nodded and bend down to grab his weapon that he had dropped. Slowly he followed shouldering the weapon. Outside it was relatively dark but he could tell by the mist settling on the ground that the sun would be rising soon. He glanced at Tala who was talking to Bryan quietly before looking ahead watching where they were going.
Carefully Ian and Spencer lead them through tunnels and collapsing factories. At a point Rei started to recognize the path they were taking. They were heading back to Headquarters. Sighing something in Russian Bryan sped up and quickly fell in step with the other two starting a quiet conversation between the two.
"Rei you sure you're alright? You didn't eat last night or the day before that" Tala asked quietly as he fell in step with the Chinese. "I'll eat something when we get back. I'm fine for right now though" Rei answered as he glanced at the redhead that was watching him intently. "Please Rei can you forgive me? I'm sorry that I hit you" Tala said as he looked at the raven hair's face. Sighing Rei moved his hand up and away a bang that had come loose from its pony tail. "Tala I forgave you that night okay. I don't hold a grudge or anything, I deserved it either way" Rei said staring at his hands. Tala looked down and seeing nothing wrong with his companions hands he looked back up "Rei I'm not an idiot I know something is bothering you" Rei glanced up at him and then looked away glimpsing a star that was fading with the slow rise of the sun "How do you cope with it Tala. I have other's blood on my hands, how do you recover from something like that?" Rei asked softly as he wringed his hands together.
"Time Rei, at some point you get over it. At first I had nightmares and Bryan or Kai would help me cope with it all until I could deal with it on my own" Tala answered his eyes momentarily glimmering "You have never killed Rei?" "I'm a pilot Tala. I did kill but I never once saw that person's blood flow from their body like right now. On my spitfire I shot and the only thing I would see was smoke and that's it. I never saw the blood covering the inside of the glass. But now I see everything their expressions…everything" Rei trailed off softly as he wrapped and arm around himself. Tala couldn't find words to comfort the Chinese, since everything he had just said was true. They continued walking in silence.
The silence was unbearable to Rei there was nothing, no birds chirping…there was just a dead silence. He shivered but kept on walking until shouts from ahead stopped them. Tala quickly grabbed his hand and yanked him after him. Running up to the soldiers that were running alongside a tank he asked "What's happening?" "The Germans are pulling back it seems that Operation Market Garden was successful and the Americans and British are moving in to corner them in Berlin" the soldier answered with a grin on his face. "Indeed and we are to corner them from the east it should be a victory within a few weeks for the Allies" Kai said as he came up to Tala with a smirk.
Tala couldn't help but smile at the prospect of the war ending but there was work to still be done. "Now go back to HQ and get some rest we don't start mobilizing until tomorrow morning" Kai said to the team who nodded in appreciation.
Kai turned neutral crimson eyes on Rei who looked back at him. "I had contact with your superior Jonathan McGregor but unfortunately with this new development you won't be able to join them until after we get to Berlin. I tried to get them to wait for you but McGregor said that he had orders from Montgomery to start mobilizing his air forces and start heading south immediately" Kai said and then smirked "He's an asshole." "I know that I've flown under him for two years he's a hotheaded son of a bitch" Rei smirked remembering his commander.
"I can't wait to personally meet his ass" Kai said sarcastically. The rest of them chuckled including Rei who shook his head. "You are all dismissed to do whatever you wish to do for tonight" Kai said before he turned to his assistant who started to spout off in Russian and pointing at charts and maps.
"Come on Rei let's go and see if we can take a shower or something" Tala said a smiled. Rei obliged and followed the redhead. "See ya later Red. Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Ian yelled as the three of them headed to the mess hall. "I'm going to fucking hurt you Ian!" Tala yelled back blue eyes narrowed onto the small figure. He glanced at Rei and smiled seeing the slight blush on his cheeks. "Don't listen to that shrimp Rei. Sometimes I wish I could hurt him but unfortunately he's a very good shot" Tala mourned his inability at not being able to decapitate his subordinate.
Walking into the tent Tala quickly shed his cloak and grabbed his towel and a formal uniform. "Come on Rei don't take forever" Tala whined as he watched Rei take his time gathering his things. "Hold your ponies" he responded and walked calmly towards Tala, who was like a boy waiting to go to the park and play ball, impatient as ever. "Whatever you're just slow" Tala said leading the way to the officer's shower.
Hearing no water running Tala opened the door and nodded at the empty tent. "Come on the showers are free for our use" Tala said walking in hanging the towel on a rack along with his clothes. Rei followed and couldn't help but feel excited at the prospect of taking a shower after a couple of days of not being able to. Shedding his clothes he quickly jumped into one of the two cubicles and started the water.
"Gah!" he jumped away from the spray shivering. Tala laughed behind him. "That's not funny it was cold" Rei said wiping some of the water from his face. "Yeah I know. That's why you should heat it first" Tala smirked pointing at the small flame that was inside a pipe designed to warm the water in the tanks. "I didn't know that" Rei said a little embarrassed as he ran his fingers through his long black tresses. "How did they allow you to keep that long?" Tala asked as reached out and ran his fingers through the silk blackness. He knew that at this point his hair was dusty but Tala knew that when washed thoroughly it would shine. "Because I almost ripped McGregor's throat out when he tried to cut it in my sleep" Rei chuckled along with Tala.
Moving in behind Rei he pulled the water lever making it pray out this time a lot warmer than before. "Do you mind if I wash your hair?" Tala asked softly as he watched Rei get his hair wet he could tell that some dirt and dust was coming out of the black tresses but didn't mention it. "No go ahead" Rei said and felt fingers move through his hair. It was oddly relaxing and he let out soft moan as Tala reached for the soap and started to clean his hair, massaging his scalp gently with nimble fingers. Finishing with the dark hair Tala moved his hands to Rei back where his hands ran over smooth skin and lean muscle. Shivering Rei arched his back and slowly turned around.
Grabbing the soap Rei returned the favor smiling when Tala smiled gently and leaned forward a little to make sure Rei would be able to run his fingers through all his hair. "Rei I'm sorry" Tala whispered as he ran a finger over the bruise on his jaw his ice blue eyes looking into golden suns. "I forgive you Tala, I really do forgive you" gasping Rei stilled his hands in Tala's hair as the other kissed him.
Rei sighed as he felt the other's tongue glide over his lips, slowly drawing in his lip into his mouth sucking on it gently teeth light grazing it, nipping it. Moaning Rei pulled the redhead closer as he returned the treatment his tongue lightly teasing Tala's lower lip. Moving Tala pinned Rei against the cubicle wall his hands starting to wander up and down the heaving sides. Fighting for dominance Tala quickly took over and plundered the mouth that opened for him willingly. His tongue tangled with the other's as he sucked on it lightly shivering at the pleasurable moan that emitted from Rei's throat.
Pulling away for air Tala lightly trailed kisses down the raven hair's neck. Basking in the breathy whimpers that Rei emitted as he nipped softly on the soft flesh. "Tala..." Rei breathed as he felt finger's tracing just above his desire. "Rei…that feels good" Tala gasped as he felt Rei's fingers wrap around his pulsing erection. He let Rei slide his fingers up and down his shaft making it harder with every stroke of his gentle fingers. "Yes…like that Rei…" Tala moaned encouraging the Chinese's actions as he felt his erection begin to pulse in the warm grip. Feeling the twitching Rei felt himself become even more aroused as he squeezed a little harder making sure he wasn't hurting the redhead.
"Gods...Rei faster" Tala gasped he started to move his hips to Rei's pumping hand. Sucking on the tanned skin of Rei's shoulder Tala came his teeth sinking into the skin blood slowly oozing out. Moaning Rei kept stroking the redhead's erection until no more semen came out. Raising his hand he licked some of the semen off relishing in the taste of the redhead. Smirking Tala licked the small wound one last time before his hand lightly touched the raven hair's pulsing erection.
"It seems you are need of relief" he smirked and Rei moaned slightly as Tala got on one knee and held his aching erection in his palm. "Please Tala" Rei moaned "Make me cum" "As you wish" Tala took in the pulsing erection into his mouth slowly working the head with his tongue before beginning to suck. Rei lost himself in pure pleasure his fingers running now clean hair as he encouraged the redhead. "Oh…hmmm…more Tala. Take me all in Tala" Rei moaned his knees failing him and he leaned against the wall. The wet heat of Tala's mouth was absolutely wondrous. His mind exploding in pure ecstasy as he felt Tala tight throat surround his entire length sucking on it vigorously prompting for the other cum. "Oh…I'm. cumming, I'm cumming" he breathed out softly as he finally let go his mind exploding into color.
Pulling away slightly Tala drank as much as he could before rising up and kissing the raven hair desperately. Pulling away Rei licked his lips tasting himself which made him feel a little weird. "You are…beautiful" Tala murmured as he kissed a flushed cheek gently.
Pounding on the door startled them and both looked up as they heard some guys shouting at them. "I guess we should finish up" Tala smiled and the two quickly rinsed off. Wrapping a towel around his waist Tala let in the officers that were grumbling outside.
Getting dressed Rei and Tala acted like nothing had happened the same when they walked out. "Hey I guess this should be exciting we are finally making those stupid Nazis pull back" Tala said as he ran his towel through his hair. "Yeah I can't wait until we win" Rei grinned as they headed to the officer's tent.
