Chapter 2

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

They went on several dates, all on Duo's insistence, but without Wufei's protests. They did innocent things like go to the movies, have lunch when Wufei was on a break and take walks in the park.

He had been reluctant to invite Duo over to his apartment. Mostly because he didn't trust himself with all that privacy, but also because of his roommate. The guy might be out a lot but he could also walk in at the strangest times. It was too risky, so instead they met in public or in time-limited spaces, like the storage room at work.

Duo often visited on days when he was the only one working and dragged him into the backroom to start a make out session.

Kissing was something they both enjoyed and Duo was eager to learn, taking every chance he got to practice.

They were pressed up against the wall, out of sight of the back door and the door into the shop. At any second a customer could step into the store or another employee could come by. Time was precious and they used the most of it.

Wufei had one hand buried in soft chestnut locks and the other had a tight grip on a plum buttocks. Duo was up on his toes, pressed up against him, griping his shirt tightly as if trying to pull him down closer to his level. He could feel Duo's hard cock as it rubbed against his leg. He shivered happily as he listened to the soft whimpering moans coming from the boy. He could not imagine a better place to be then right there. The moans got more and more urgent until Duo twitched and came in his pants, still clutching Wufei's shirt.

Wufei could feel his heartbeat echoing in his cock as it begged for attention. A hesitant hand started to search its way into his pants but Wufei stopped it.

"I have to go back to work in these pants, just leave it."

Duo mumbled a tired protest but stopped as Wufei hugged him close, stroking his hair gently.

Duo sighed happily and hugged him back. They stayed like that for a while, enjoying each other's presence.

"Your hair is really nice" Wufei said softly, feeling slightly sappy as he combed his fingers through the silky strands.

"You don't think I should cut it?" Duo mumbled into his chest.

Wufei shook his head. "No, it fits you." He said with a smile, taking a deep breath into the long hair.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

For a while everything was as perfect as it could be, considering the circumstances.

Wufei couldn't help but love the manipulating little devil who smiled like an angel at his mother over the kitchen tables at the same time as he put a hand on the inside of Wufei's thigh.

Wufei was happy, in love and in denial.

It was soon about to change.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

Duo's parents would be visiting one of their friends who lived several hours away while Heero was away on a computer convention.

Neither of them would be back for two days.

Wufei had barely gotten through the doorway before Duo started pulling at his clothes at the same time as he dragged him towards his bedroom. Not that Wufei was resisting him. He never did.

It didn't take long for Duo to get naked and ready on top of the bed. Wufei dropped his shirt down on the floor as he watched the heavily breathing boy in front of him.

He put a knee up on the madras, then another one before slowly crawling towards Duo.

He first reached slim feet, then skinny legs going all the way up until he reached the thin pretty cock that was sticking up, surrounded by a few stray strands of curly hair.

Wufei could feel his mouth watering just by looking at it.

With his own cock straining against his pants, he leaned over Duo, stroking his hands up his thighs. The action made Duo break out into a wild giggle, obviously ticklish. The childlike sound made Wufei freeze up.

As if against his will he took a closer look on his surroundings. There was a pile of comics on the nightstand, posters with cartoon characters, a radio controlled car on the desk and the pillow under Duo's head had small UFO's on it.

Shame bubbled up like acid.

What the fuck was he doing?

What the hell was he thinking?

He could not do this. He might be a monster but he was not going to condemn himself to this point. He was not going to taint Duo; he loved him too much to do that.

He didn't want Duo to remember his first time and realize that he had slept with a pedophile.

"I have to go." He choked out as he snatched his hands away from all that lovely skin.

"What?" Duo raised himself up on his elbows. "You can't leave now."

Wufei just snatched his shirt off the floor and escaped, ignoring the sweet voice calling out to him.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

Wufei had done everything he could to avoid Duo. It tore at his soul but he knew he had to talk to him.

His phone had been ringing nonstop for the last couple of days when he finally found the courage to answer it.

"Hey."

"Where the hell have you been? I was worried!" Duo's frantic voice screeched.

For a second, Wufei let himself enjoy the warmth that Duo's words brought him.

It would be the last time he let himself be lured into forbidden temptation that was Duo Maxwell.

"I'm sorry." He whispered, cradling the phone against his ear. "We can't do this anymore." He's stained voice rasped.

"What? Yes, we can, no one is going to find out." Duo's comforting voice said softly on the other side.

"No."

"Wufei, come on. It's okay."

"… it's not." And it wasn't, it really wasn't. He could hardly believe that he had fooled himself into thinking that anything would justify this perversion. He had overstepped the boundaries he had set on himself so many years ago. He had let himself be blinded by his want and his fear. A fear that wasn't even real. He knew Duo wouldn't tell anyone. Duo was a nice, if naïve, guy who wouldn't do anything to hurt him. The blackmailing had just been an excuse to give in.

"We just have to be careful it's no - "

"No Duo. I'm sorry. It's over." Wufei hung up the phone.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

What followed was a time full of soul searching for Wufei.

He was trying to deal with the guilt he felt for giving in. He had known that what he was doing was wrong, but that had not stopped him from doing it.

He had believed himself to be stronger than that; he had believed that he was still basically a good man even with the perversion he felt. It had now been proven that he really was a monster and no amount of wishing would ever take his actions back.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

He still saw Duo around.

Hanging out with his friends, riding his bike down the street, following his mom to the store and walking past Wufei's apartment with a wishful look on his face while Wufei hid behind the curtain.

He even ran in to him every now and then, the town wasn't all that big after all.

At first, Duo had been so angry that he had refused to talk to him but after a few weeks they moved on to a tense sort of acquaintance. 'Hey, how are you? Fine, you?' was the standard greeting before someone made an excuse to leave.

He had felt his heart break when he drove past the park one day and saw Duo kissing a blond boy in his own age.

Breaking up with Duo had been the right thing to do, but that didn't make it hurt any less.

But if giving in to temptation had taught Wufei anything then it was that he could not go on living this way.

It was humiliating to go to the therapy sessions and meet others who were just like him.

…And people who were so much worse.

Fathers who couldn't keep their fingers off their teenage daughters. Men who took another trip past the kindergarten and who spent their weekends sitting on a bench at the playground. Men who convinced their nieces and nephews to play a special but secret game with them. Wufei felt sick every time before leaving but he still went to every single one of his therapy sessions.

It was a relief to graduate and not have to see Heero almost every day. Not only because he was reminding him of Duo so much that it hurt to even look at him but also because he was starting to question just why Wufei refused to go over to his house now days. Heero was smart and it would probably not take him long to figure out the connection between Duo's hearth broken sulk and Wufei's reluctance to follow him home.

He got a job at a small media consulting company and decided that it was time to move out of his apartment. It was time to move on. Duo had long ago stopped walking past his window anyway.

Life goes on, whether you like it or not.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-.

"I can't believe it, you're our neighbor?" A voice said behind him.

Wufei froze with the key in the lock. Clutching the laundry basket in his arms, he slowly turned around.

Duo was leaning against the wall next to the open door on the other side of the hallway where Mrs. Wilson used to live.

To his shame, desire rose inside of him, just like it did every time he saw the boy.

"You moved in? Here?" Wufei asked tightly even if it was obvious.

Duo crossed his arms defensively. "Heero didn't tell you?"

Wufei shook his head. He hadn't seen Heero since the graduation. He had talked to him a few times over the Internet but he had made sure that the topic had stayed as far away from the Maxwell family as possible.

But… even if he knew he shouldn't be, he was still unbelievably happy to see Duo. He could not say that his feelings had changed from when he had left Duo lying naked and willing underneath him. To his shame the dirty desire was still strong and the unwanted love still unchanged.

It appeared that all the money he had spent on therapy had been wasted.

In the back of his mind he was terrified that one of his neighbors would step out of their apartment and see him standing there with Duo. Maybe they would see his emotions in his eyes; maybe their body language would expose him. Maybe it would look totally innocent, maybe it wouldn't.

Then the reality of the situation was starting to settle in. Duo had moved into the apartment across from him. He was now going to see him in the hallway, in the elevator, in the yard, in the laundry room and when they took out their trash. Oh god, no-no-no. He would not be able to stand living so close to Duo, it would be torture.

Duo gave him a long look that seemed to pin Wufei to the wall.

The silence was thick in the hallway.

Not knowing what to do, Wufei just stared back.

Duo took a step closer, and then another one while Wufei, frozen on the spot held the laundry basket like a shield between them.

"Haven't seen you around in a while." Duo said casually as he stepped even closer until all that was separating them was the plastic basket. "You quit your job, you moved away and your name can't be found in the phonebook." There was an accusing, almost insulted tone in his voice as he reached out to take a hold of Wufei's shield. "You didn't say a word, didn't even leave a note. You just decided that you knew best and hid like a coward." The hand pulled and Wufei didn't have the strength to stop him. The basket hit the ground, spilling his clothes out on the hallway floor.

It felt like an eternity since he had felt Duo's hands on his skin. It sent shivers down his spine as soft hands stroke his arms before searching their way up to his neck.

"We shouldn't." Wufei protested weakly, pushing back against the wall.

"Oh, for fuck sakes!" Duo growled in frustration, slapping his hand into the wall behind him. "Don't go blaming the age difference again. You might have had a point the first time around but I'm twenty-two years old now so don't you dare come dragging with that excuse again."

'Twenty-two?' Wufei blinked for the first time taking in just how much taller than him Duo was, the five a clock shadow on his face and the 'University of Findsburg' sweatshirt.

Duo was an adult.

"So are you going to come along or do I have to blackmail you this time around too?" Duo leered a devil's smile on an angel's face.

Desire rolled through his body and Wufei smiled.

The End

A/N

Well I guess the moral in his story is that love is blind but keep your dick in your pants until it's legal. A big thank you to TanithNight who sent me this on what type of pedophile Wufei is.

Fixated (Immature) Pedophile

Has a long standing preference for children as both sexual and social companions. Generally never been able to form relationship with adults and is described by others as socially immature, passive, timid, and dependent. They usually feel the most comfortable with children, rarely married, but has steady work. The contact with the child occurs through many social encounters and force is rarely used. The urge is usually to touch, fondle, or caress the child. This is the most difficult type to treat.

Roses in bloom - Sorry, yeah he's in college... with homework. I guess it's a language thing, what do you call home assignments in college? Glad you liked the story and that you didn't have to wait long for the chapter ether :) Cinnamon Selkie - I am also very fond of having Duo and Heero as brothers even if this is the first time I did it. I think I have to do it again sometime. So, how did you think the ending turned out? Was it what you expected? Liz - lol, yeah, it's just too bad that Wufei is such a adorable pedobear, I couldn't help myself. DeceptiveInnocenceXIII - Your friend sounds about as bad as Duo -_-' It's a really bad combination, a pedophile and a kid who thinks he's older then he really is. Wufei should be really happy that Heero didn't find out or he would totaly have gone after him. TanithNight - I'll just thank you again for all your help. Thank you I'm really grateful.Bethany Shiver - Good to know ;) I will hopefully have more new things to post soon. It's just too bad that our cooperation didn't work out. You have a lot of ideas that will most likely be very helpful to someone out there, but unfortunately not to me :( primaaryet - Glad you liked it and here is an updat for ya :) Spaz666 - Sorry! I tried to write it in first person but I had to give up. It took me just as long to write this entire chapter as it took me to write the first couple of paragraphs on the first chapter and my beta only had to fix about a fifth of the amount of mistakes I made compared to the first one. One day I might be able to write an entire story in first person but right now I just don't have the inspiration or the energy. Sorry :( Gintsumi - Thank you :) I hope I managed to catch your interest enough to read the next chapter too. snowdragonct - Fourteen years older, damn, that's pretty impressive. Nice to hear that you made it work anyway. Thank god that you didn't meet earlier ;) I don't know for sure what age Duo would have to be for Wufei to have him since I try to write my stories in a non specific country but no matter what age Duo would have to be, Wufei wouldn't have been able to wait until then anyway. So in a way, he really is the monster he didn't want to be. He might not have wanted to hurt Duo but what he did was still wrong. Ember ShadowFur I'm very pleased that you liked it and here you have the happy ending. Wufei just needed eight years of therapy first to get there. Oh and it would have been one very short story if Wufei had told Duo that :D darkrevenge - Yeah, in a better world they would get help before it was too late. As far as I can find, it appears to be very had to get help on time. All I could find was a guy giving the advise to ignore it. I hope it will get easier with time. I hope third person wasn't too awful for you :) Ellie-Kun - Glad you agree and I hope that you enjoyed the last chapter :) Force majeur - It's a tricky thing that, but I have to say that I have a hard time understanding parents who lets their children marry men three times their age. Wufei should indeed be shot and Duo does need a slap. Damn boys for always thinking with their dicks.
