o O o

The boat swayed ever so gently back and forth, and it was beginning to make Amiti uncomfortable. For every dirty reason out there, the swaying of the boat reminded him of Eoleo and their first time together. And good LORD was that a good first time. God, how he—bad Amiti! No thinky bad—yet so good—thoughts right now!

Amiti scolded himself, feeling the continuous rocking of the boat. God, he needed to get out of that bed. Thinking that a little midnight snack wouldn't hurt him, Amiti slipped out of bed and into the narrow hall way of the lower deck. He tip-toed down the hall to the dining area, and went straight for the kitchen.

He squatted right in front of the short ice chest and took out some now-chilled Kaocho dumplings they had bought back in Kaocho (obviously) to feed that one man and receive a Mars djinni. He hummed and sat at one of the tables set up in the dining area with the plate of dumplings, and nibbled into the cold, squishy delicacy he grabbed for himself. He was so tired and caught up with eating that he had failed to notice two figures walk in and sit themselves adjacent from himself. Eoleo finally got his attention by poking his foot with his own, causing the smaller adept to drop his dumpling, genuinely surprised by the contact.

"Hi there, lovely, how're you doing?" Eoleo asked, smiling at Amiti.

"Just fine until you almost gave me a hernia." Amiti said, picking up his dumpling.

"Only old men can get hernias, 'Miti." Matthew, the other shipmate who walked in unexpectedly. "Last time I checked, and heard, you're not old… or all that manly."

"I am manly!" Amiti defended himself and picked up his dumpling once again. "Just not like the red hulk here." He looked at Eoleo and smirked.

"Let's just say.. you're a notch higher than Rief, okay, sweet stuff?" Eoleo bantered back. "So, why is my little prince awake at this ungodly hour?"

"I could ask you the same thing for the both of you, but I'm going to guess it was your stomachs." Amiti said. He set the half-eaten dumpling down and poked it. "I just couldn't sleep, so I thought eating something would help me."

Matthew chuckled, making both Eoleo and Amiti turn to him.

"What's so funny, Matt?" Eoleo asked.

"Why didn't you just go to Eoleo's room to spoon? I think he would have liked that as much as you would have." Matthew chuckled again, holding up his chin on a propped up arm. "I mean, that's why Eoleo is up. He came to check on you, but noticed you weren't-!"

"Shut UP!" Eoleo blushed, harshly covering his leader's mouth. "You talk way too much for your own good."

"No, no, let him continue, this sounds interesting." Amiti smiled wickedly. He loved it when his lovely partner was embarrassed.

"You don't need to hear it, you little brat." Eoleo stuck out his tongue.

Amiti leaned forward and placed his palm delicately on Eoleo's face, then harshly pulled back his own finger and snapped it back, whacking Eoleo's forehead rather hard. "Ouch!" He pulled his hand back to place on his forehead, releasing his leader's motor-mouth.

"—Noticed you weren't in your room and he started to panic. I heard and found him pacing back and forth in the halls for a few seconds. I suggested checking here." Matthew finished and sat innocently on his own hands.

"Aw, how sweet, you were worried?" Amiti smiled. He got up to sit next to the older man, and kissed his forehead. "Sorry I gave you a boo-boo." He said, sticking out his tongue.

"Oh, shut up…" Eoleo said, covering up his red face.

Tyrell sauntered in lazily and grabbed Amiti's unfinished dumpling and devoured it in one bite. He yawned and sat across from Matthew, barely opening his eyes. "Yawww.. Oh, hey guysss." He said, sleepily.

"Good morning, sunshine." Matthew said mockingly. "Whatcha doing up?"

"I was woken up by the lion's roar." Tyrell said. He pat his stomach and reached for another dumpling. "I have to feed it now."

"Well, all of us men are now here. Now what?" Eoleo asked.

"Not all of us, Rief is still asleep." Amiti said, confused.

"Well, all of us men are now here." The older fire adept repeated.

Matthew and Tyrell laughed and Eoleo ruffled his boyfriend's silky blue hair.

Eoleo and the team leader grabbed a dumpling from the plate Amiti had brought out. They ate in semi-silence, only the sounds of chewing and swallowing eminent. Tyrell sighed and pat his stomach, signifying his 'lion' was fed. He looked at Eoleo and Amiti, and tilted his head.

"Hey, I got a question for you guys." He said.

"First, you 'have' a question for us, and what kind of question, Tyrell?" Amiti asked.

"Well, during that last storm, you guys went and did it in Karis and Himi's room, right?"

The two adepts nodded, Amiti immediately blushing, and Eoleo smirking proudly.

"Okay. So, he took it up the butt, right?" Tyrell asked the older fire adept. He curtly nodded as an answer, and Tyrell smiled, nodding as well.

"Just as I thought. Matthew here thought you guys were just spooning, but I was thinking you were going all the way in there, from what Himi and Karis were laughing about. But anyway, that's not my real question."

"Then get to the point to all of these personal questions!" Amiti said, fidgeting in his seat.

"Okay, my question is… What do you prefer to call the penis? I mean, there are so many names for it, but what's your preference? Like how Karis hates it when I say the actual word 'penis', but is okay with 'dick' or 'stick' or 'sword'." Tyrell rested his head on his arms on the table and waited for one of the two adepts to reply.

Matthew was sitting there, chuckling to himself. His friend was such a no-boundaries kind of guy…

"Well, I usually say dick, but sometimes I say wank when I'm not referring to sex. Unlike Amiti, I actually love referring to my proud manhood. That's why I-!"

"Shut up!" Amiti struck his.. boyfriend—I should really get used to referring to him as that—on the head. His face grew tomato red as he pulled his hand back. "I-I mean.. stop being so vulgar. It is quite unbecoming, though you're a pirate."

"Then you must have some sweet little fetish for my 'kind' if you're letting my vulgarity slide very often." Eoleo muttered as he leaned down to talk into Amiti's ear, licking the shell as he leaned back.

Amiti covered his ear and backed away, obviously embarrassed at the touches and words. "That's it, I'm going back to my room..!"

"Hold on, Tiger," Tyrell pulled on Amiti's night shirt before he got too far. "Girl's aren't the only ones who enjoy a little gossip."

Matthew moved over to sit next to Tyrell, nodding in agreement. Eoleo laughed and got up to bring Amiti back. "Okay, what are we going to gossip about, then?"

"Sex, obviously." Tyrell said.

"No boundaries, of course." Matthew rolled his eyes, but couldn't help but smile.

"Ignoring you, let's start with me!" the young hot-head chortled. Tyrell leaned back into the wooden chair's back, pushed the chair so it was standing on the two back legs, and balanced himself with his left foot on the table.

"You have a sex life?" Amiti blurted out, unintentionally.

Matthew almost keeled over, laughing and Eoleo put his arm around Amiti's waist, trying not to laugh.

"S-shut up! I can get some too!" Tyrell leaned forward, banging his fist on the table. He calmed down and resumed his earlier position, getting comfortable. "Anyway, let me tell ya' 'bout a girl I once met."

"Ooh, sounds so interesting." Matthew twirled his finger in the air.

"Her name.. was Celly. Oh, she was so pretty! God, and her bod," Tyrell whistled as he traced invisible curves in the air. "Celly, short for Celia. She worked at one of the Inns we stayed in. I can't remember which one, but she was all over me when night fell and I wandered around the halls, hoping to get a glimpse of her. It was perfect; she walked around one corner, I walked around the same, and BOOM!" Tyrell clapped his hands together. "We collided, and shared apologies. Then, I looked into her eyes, she looked into mine.. And we clicked. Just like that. Oh, it was wonderful! We slipped into a utility closet and.. well, you can do the math. I swear, she was soooo good, I miss her boobs.. God, if I could find her, I'd go straight to her once all of this 'save our world' stuff is over. I'll go back to her a famous hero!"

"Wow, that was so.. exciting. I think some of my brain cells actually committed suicide in my brain." Eoleo said.

"Oh shut up. What about you, Matt? Got any stories to tell?" Tyrell prodded his best friend with his elbow and raised his eye brows continuously. "Eh? Eh?"

"Oh, fine…" Matthew pushed Tyrell's arm away from him and he cleared his throat. "Well.. I can't say I've actually.. 'lost' my virginity. I'm still clean and 'fresh'."

"Really?" Eoleo asked. "I thought you would have banged—oof!"

"Could you use nicer words?" Amiti asked, stabbing his boyfriend in the gut with his elbow.

"Right.. I thought you would have.. uh.. slept with Karis or Himi already. I mean, they seem to like you a bit, I thought you would have liked one of them as well. But whatever, continue."

"Okay.." Matthew played with his sleeve, avoiding everyone's stares. "I-I can't like Karis. Because, well.. I've had a crush on her father, Ivan.. For awhile.. I mean.."

"W-what? Mr. Ivan?" Tyrell looked at Matthew, flabbergasted.

Matthew ignored him and continued. "Well, the few times I've met him, he talked so kindly to me, and he never treated me like a child! I felt so comfortable around him. But he looked at my father, as if he was yearning for his attention. He would get so.. fidgety when father got close to him, and I would get jealous. I mean, I know I was just a kid to him, and obviously not the one Ivan wants, but.. I can't help but feel that I'd make him happier than any other man could. I wish that were true though." He finished his sentence with a weak laugh, trying to lighten up. It failed, and Eoleo pat him on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Matt. My guess is, is that Ivan won't let go of Isaac, even if he considered you a possible lover. It just wouldn't fit in his heart, Y'know?"

"I do, I do. I just can't help but dream." Matthew smiled and shrugged. "That's the only story on love I've got. So who's next?"

"I'll go, since Amiti wouldn't want to." Eoleo said, ruffling his lovely partner's blue mane. "Let's see… well, my first crush has to be.. Jenna. She was so cute, and she looked at me all nice and stuff—don't worry, I was only a kid! Barely even ready for first grade! It was only a crush! Anyway, my second crush was when I was a teenager in Champa, my dad took me on his boat to some isle, really small, consisted of just a dock. One of the sailor's who was working with my father had a really fine looking daughter, she sat on the edge of the dock and looked at the water like she was mad at it. I asked her why, and she told me that her ex-boyfriend gave her a ring, and she tossed it in, and she was silently cursing it. It laughed at that and thought it was cute. I left that isle a few hours later, and couldn't stop thinking about her. The next chance I got to see her, was about 4 months later. She recognized me and went up to me, smiling."

"You get to bang her?" Tyrell asked rather bluntly. Amiti immediately kicked his seat, making the boisterous kid fall.

"No, I didn't," Eoleo smiled, kissing Amiti's head. "She was excited to see me and everything, but she introduced me to her former ex-boyfriend. He had proposed to her. I wished them good luck and asked my dad to take me home. I cried for a bit, but got over it by repeatedly saying 'She's got small tits, she's not worth it!'.

"Finally, when I turned 20, my father to me to a bar and we drank together. He complained that I haven't found someone to settle down with and that I was too rash and no woman would love me. Then he laughed and passed out, he was smashed. One of the waitresses helped me get him out of the bar and onto the streets. She practically molested me and tempted me to sleep with her. I had no way of escape, so I went with it. Ugh.. personally, I would never want to set foot in another bar ever again. Last time I ever slept with a woman, too." Eoleo sneered.

"What? Really?" Matthew and Tyrell asked in unison. Amiti looked up with such a happy expression, he could almost scream.

"Yeah. She really put a bad impression on me. Also, the 'bush' between a woman's legs.. disturbs me." He shuddered at the thought, but continued. "Before Amiti, I really never.. slept with a guy. I mean, yeah, I'd fool around or touch their wank, but nothing beyond that. I guess you can say.. this is my one and only love."

Amiti blushed and pinched Eoleo's cheek. "Shut up.. you're sounding like a cheesy romance novel Rief reads."

"So he DOES read those books!" Tyrell exclaimed. "He kept telling me they were Himi's!"

"Really? He told me they were Sveta's." Matthew said. They laughed and high-fived each other, a gesture both Amiti and Eoleo found somewhat random.

"Anyway, does Amiti have any saucy stories to share?" Matthew asked, propping up and arm and resting his head on his hand. He was actually really enjoying this weird.. conversation.

"Uh.. not.. not really." Amiti said. He looked down and began to fiddle with the hem of his night shirt.

"Really? Nothing? What about your crushes before Eoleo?" Tyrell asked.

"Uh.. I.." Amiti sighed. "I was always busy with Ayuthay that I ignored my own personal feelings. I have had admirers, but I always rejected them. But.. when I was a child, I guess you could say I realised I was.. gay."

"You knew even when you were a child?" Eoleo asked. How could a child know something like that?

"I didn't really 'know' know that I was gay. I just knew that girls were icky and flaunted the butts on their chests, and guys found that attractive. I also knew that guys just seemed.. more attractive to me. I remember my first crush was on this older teen I used to play with. He used to.. well, touch me unnecessarily. He would hug me too closely, his hand would linger around my chest longer than it should have, and I developed platonic feelings for him. I wanted him to touch me longer, and—oh gods, what am I saying? Am I actually telling you guys everything?" Amiti smacked himself and put his head down.

"Wow, yeah, that was platonic lust. Uh.. you.. you wanna stop talking about this stuff, 'Miti?" Tyrell asked. He was given silence, which (for once) he took as a yes. He nodded and stood up, gesturing to Matthew that they should leave as well.

"Well, we're tired, so we're gonna split. See ya in the morning, guys." Tyrell said, waving softly with two fingers.

"Hey, it's okay, love, don't beat yourself up." Eoleo hugged his boyfriend, wanting to hold him more.

"It's not.. what if my feelings for you are just like my feelings for Rama?" Amiti looked into his lover's eyes. "What if I just want you to feel me and I don't really love you? What then?"

"I can't answer that question, Amiti. You do love me, whole-heartedly. There's not a doubt in my mind that our love is just lust. It wouldn't feel right to me if it was just that. Trust me, Amiti, I love you."

"I love you too…" Amiti said. He smiled and snuggled closer to the older man's strong, wide chest.

Eoleo kissed his forehead and picked him up bridal style. "I'll tuck you in, princess."

"Okay," Amiti whispered, holding onto his boyfriend's strong neck. He liked being carried like this, unsurprisingly. He loved being spoiled, and he loved Eoleo. He should never question that. Never again.

*sniff* I-It's so crappy ;w;

But I must say, this is my best fic yet. Even.. though it's only my second fic and this is the only one I've finished the second chapter for. If you've read my first fic and wanted it to be multi-chaptered, I'm so sorry, I'm getting RIGHT on that! I just need to.. find.. inspiration. Probably going to write about the whole Coliseum thing, the most over-used scenarios out there in the GS fandom! But hey, I might be lying. I might be writing about something completely different that involves Ivan watching Isaac ride a pig naked. Who knowssss~? Oh, right, I do.

Anyway, back to this. I'm actually really, REALLY proud of this chapter, even though it had no sex (boo-hoo for you) and I know a lot of people who read fanfics are pervs and want that man-sex they thought they'd get, but I thought I'd write something fluffy for these beautiful adepts as part of my story for them. As the title states, their love won't be picture perfect and will have things pushing them from here to there, from there to here. From anguish to happiness, from betrayal to forgiveness. I wonder what is in store for Amiti and Eoleo?

Whoa, did I just give this fic… MEANING? OH NOESS Dx

Anyway, I'll try to finish the next chapter within July this year. If I don't, I'll just punish myself by not reading any Seiner fics until I finish. Oh Hayner, I will miss you if I fail ;A;

Auf Weiderstein! If.. I.. spelt that right xDD
