Something Wicked... by Christine

Part Four

 

Trowa smiled as he looked at his lover, "It has been hours and we haven't been together. I think that you are very enchanted by your little human," he teased him.

He had decided to speak in the old language because he was sure that Duo did not know that. He wanted the illusion of privacy at least. Duo was in the room with them, huddled in a corner because Heero refused to let him out of his sight. If he didn't know better, he would have sworn that his paramour was obsessed with the waif. Realizing that keeping an eye on him was the only safety for Duo made him understand Heero's actions and accept them. He didn't like the changes that had taken place in his other brethren or had then always been this way and he had never noticed it because of all the other humans that were around them? Now that he had much more contact with the two of them, the less that liked them. He would tolerate them until he and Heero would be able to get away from them.

Heero scowled at him, before replying in the same tongue. "As much as I wanted to, things had to be done before we could relax. I want to spend a long time enjoying you and Duo and not get interrupted by the others."

"I think that you should just enjoy me and not your little pet," Trowa told him seriously.

"Jealous?" Heero asked, confused. Did Trowa think that Duo was a threat to what they had?

"Worried," Trowa reassured him. "The human is terrified of mating with us. He hasn't stopped shaking since we left his brother's room and he saw how injured he was. Quatre was chasing after him too. Not that he got anywhere, but he scared him. You know that Quatre will do anything to torment a human and Duo's going to have to listen to everything that he is doing in that other room to his human. Your human is skittish, you told me that yourself. He told me that too. Don't make it worse."

"I wanted you to enjoy each other," Heero tried to explain to Trowa. They needed to work together he had decided. Duo had knowledge that they needed to survive, besides the fact that he was a passionate pet.

"Do we have to mate to enjoy each other?" Trowa asked quietly.

"No," Heero admitted after thinking about it for a second. They did not have to mate to enjoy each other. Most of the time, they had just enjoyed being with each other and not doing anything at all with each other. After some of the things that the Council had done to them, holding one another was the only thing that they could do at times.

"I think that the boy would be easier to handle if we didn't mount him for a while. It's not like we don't have time to train him better," Trowa assured his lover.

They had time and he really didn't want to share Heero with anyone yet. From what little he had seen of the boy, he thought that he could like him if he got to know him. For once a human had been honest with him... them and he enjoyed it. Something had changed Heero in the time that they had been apart and he thought that it might be the human. Duo was being honest with them about his feelings and motivations and he thought that had been what had changed in his brother. Even if such honestly hadn't been to his liking, he had accepted Duo's reaction to him much better then Trowa thought that he would have in the past. Duo had a way about him it seemed that would let him charm his brother into accepting a way of behaving that he would not have tolerated in the past. Humans that they had access to for sexual use either submitted or were punished. Heero actually let his pet have some say about when he was going to be mounted and how.

"If we don't mate with him, then Wufei and Quatre would think that we do not want him," Heero told him.

Trowa frowned, "Explain it to him that way and things will go easier. The human told me that you are very good at explaining things."

Heero grunted, "As is he. Duo... "

Trowa cocked his head, curious. Heero usually only used that softish tone when he was talking about him. He had never used it on anyone else as far as he knew and that Heero was even bothering to call a human by their name was unusual also.

"Duo?" he repeated.

Heero snarled, annoyed and embarrassed that he had to explain this to Trowa. "He makes me feel... not stupid. Not less then anyone else because I did not know things or I couldn't do things that they could."

"That is the attraction that he holds for you?" Trowa asked, shocked.

His brother/lover had been changed because a human was kind to him? After thinking about it for a second, he could see how that could happen. Look what had happened to Quatre and Wufei because of the abuse that they had suffered from the Council and their allies. There had been times that he had been humiliated because he did not know things that seemed common to the humans. Baiting him had also been something that Wufei and Quatre had enjoyed because he was supposedly not as intelligent as they were because he hadn't been programmed with the same skills and information that they had. Heero had never made him feel that way.

"All that hair too... " Heero admitted wistfully.

Trowa laughed.Heero glanced over at him, wondering what he had said that had amused his brother.

"I should have realized that hair has been a fascination with you for decades. You always picked out slaves that had long hair," Trowa explained to him.

"That is something that we never had and I wondered why it feels so good," Heero tried to explain to Trowa.

Trowa had usually selected his slaves at random, not caring about anything more then satisfying an urge. There had been a few times that he had shown interest in a certain slave or slaves, but as time went on he had stopped that. Heero had never asked him why, uncertain if he would like the answer.

"I will try to understand this fascination that you have with hair," Trowa teased him. Heero had never shown interest in how a human felt before this, so it was more then the hair that attracted him to Duo. "What is better is that he thinks of others. I like that. That is why I want to train him slowly. We can't though, if Wufei and Quatre think that we aren't interested in him. If they start hurting him like they do their humans."

Heero growled low in his throat. Duo was enchanting and very submissive now. He didn't want to have to ruin all the work that he had done with him to tame him because he had to protect him from his brothers by forcing him. He was enthralled by the way that he would beg him for completion and the sounds that he made were music to him. He did not want to ruin that by having either Wufei or Quatre think that he was no longer interested in him. The things that they would do to him! Wufei especially would take delight in hurting Duo because he had fought him in the beginning. Wufei was one that never forgot a hurt and was willing to take revenge on the slightest thing that he perceived as an insult. He did not want Duo hurt by either one of them, but he knew that sharing Duo with Trowa too soon would also harm him. He just had to decide which would be worse.

Trowa frowned at Heero. He was very upset if he was making that kind of noise in his throat. "We could explain it to him... " he started softly.

"He... Duo does not enjoy me that way... no matter how good I make him feel," Heero explain to him, uneasy that he was telling Trowa this. Would he think that he was stupid to care about what a human wanted with him? "Duo had been abused by a foolish human and now he's confused about what he wants. He... "

"Since when did you care about what a human said or thought about you?'" Trowa asked in astonishment. Aside from his fascination with hair, he had been indifferent to what humans had wanted from him. At times, he had even been amused at their fear of them when they had been used as guards and killers. What made this human so different? Was Duo something that he had to worry about with his relationship with Heero?

Heero shrugged, uncomfortable at what he was thinking. When had Duo become important to him? At first he just wanted to tame him without breaking his spirit. Now... now he enjoyed just being with him, listening to him read to him was almost as enjoyable as burying himself into his hot, tight body. No one except Trowa had ever made him feel like that. The two them had nothing in common. Duo was a skittish human and Trowa was his brother that he could trust to guard his back. They... they were the only ones that had ever tried to care for him and he decided that was why he wanted both of them. He never asked Trowa about that though, Heero suddenly thought and he should have. What if he thought that he was replacing Duo with him? He had thought about doing that in the beginning, but since he had both of them now, he wanted both of them. He should just ask Trowa if that was what he wanted. He didn't want to give Duo a choice, because he knew what the answer would be and he didn't want to hear it. It hurt him that Duo only tolerated him and he didn't want to hear that answer out of him again.

"Trowa... you don't mind Duo do you?" Heero asked quietly.

Trowa looked at Heero, shocked. Heero was worried about him? Did he like or want the human that much?

"I do not mind him. I just do not know if I trust him," Trowa told him. "He has been honest with us and that is making me... uneasy."

Heero shrugged, "He... he is honest with me. He does not enjoy mating with me. He told me that in the beginning. I don't think that has changed, no matter how much he enjoys it with me now. Such honesty was rare for us and I don't want to lose it."

"You would give him up if I asked you though," Trowa told him.

Heero nodded, "I wouldn't like it but if he makes you feel uncomfortable... "

Trowa shrugged and tried to reassure Heero that he didn't dislike the human. "I... I do not want him dead. That is what would happen if we withdraw our protection from him. And... and he called me nice."

He was slightly confused about that. He had been created to be an assassin and a bodyguard for the humans. Being their sexual toy had come later. None of the humans that he had to deal with would have ever thought that he was nice. Thinking about the decades that he had spent with those humans that had used him, he was certain that nice was not a word that could be found in their vocabulary.

Heero smiled at him, "You are kind to ones that you trust."

Trowa sighed, thinking back to the conversation that he had with Duo earlier in the day. The boy had tried to be nice to him and had treated him like a guest in his home and not an invader. He had been upset that their creators and the other humans had been atrocious in their treatment of all of them. Duo wasn't afraid of him or Heero, which seemed to be the most important thing. Too many of the humans that he had used in his younger days had been limp with fear when he had used them. Duo would be passionate with them as shown by his response toHeero's attention to him in the bathroom. He would not be the one that threw him to Wufei and Quatre to be degraded by their treatment of him. He didn't want Duo to be turned into the bloody messes that were the other two captives. He didn't want to be the one that caused Duo to give up the hope that he had been living on. He had seen the trapped look in his eyes and knew that it would the smallest push to cause the boy to lose hope and decide that giving up was the only option that he had and become as spiritless as all the other humans that they had had. It had happen to him and Heero too many times in the past to do it to the one human that actually wanted to be kind to them. There might some way that they could protect him and enjoy him at the same time, without pushing him beyond the limits of what he could endure.

Trowa smiled back at Heero, "I do not want him hurt. If things change, then we'll see what happens."

Duo tried to ignore the two gargoyles on the other side of the room. He had a sneaking suspicion that they were talking about him. He didn't understand what they were saying, but he had thought that he had heard his name mentioned a couple of times. Also the two of them were ignoring him, which meant that something was up. He idly wondered what was going to happen to him, but decided that he didn't care, not really. All he wanted was to be able to get Treize out of here. He didn't know how he was going to do that because the number of gargoyles had just doubled. The ones that were in the house and the ones that were going to be using him and he was panicking thinking about what that exactly that meant.

Duo took a deep breath to calm down. He had no idea about how bad it was going to be. Heero... Heero was nice and gentle, even if it was because he got off on being that way with him. He had no idea what Trowa was like except that Heero trusted him. That was the only reason that he wasn't clawing his eyes out right now or banging his head against the wall until the wall or he broke. Heero didn't seem to like or trust the two sadistic gargoyles that were here, Wufei and Quatre. Duo hoped that meant that Trowa wasn't a sadist like they were. He didn't know what to think other then that. He didn't know what they wanted with him besides sex and he didn't know how they wanted him for that. Questions flashed through his mind about what might happen to him, but he was too frightened to ask them, even if it wasn't going to interrupt what looked like a serious conversation between Heero and Trowa. He just hoped that he could get things explained to him before things got too weird. Not that they weren't weird to begin with, being the sex slave to an enchanted hunk of rock or rocks if you count Trowa. He knew that he was on the lowest rung of the ladder here, status-wise. Trowa might be upset that Heero had the hots for him. He couldn't tell though. Trowa had seemed to take for granted that he was going to have Heero to himself and having him in the picture wasn't making him too happy. He didn't blame him, because to these guys, humans hadn't been high on their list of people that had been pleasant to them. They were had either abused them or were afraid of them. No one had tried to be their friend or failing that, treat them with something that had approached common decency. Now Treize and Zechs were now paying for that with their bodies and their sanity. Duo jumped when he heard choked off scream from the other room. It seemed that Quatre was starting in on Zechs right now. He shuddered, wondering how long he was going to have to listen to that before Zechs passed out or Quatre got tired of hurting him.

Heero frowned when he saw Duo's reaction to the noise in the other room. No matter how gentle they were going to be with him, listening to Zechs scream would not make him respond to them. He had discovered that early, when Duo hadn't responded to him because of the sound of his brother's screams. He had been angry about that until Duo had curled up and tried to borrow his way into his chest. Duo might not have wanted to mate with him, but he had taken some comfort in being held by him. The odd part was that he had enjoyed that as much in some odd way as mating with Duo.

He thought for a moment and then smiled. There was a way that they could enjoy Duo and explain things to him all without the other two listening to them. He did not trust either of the other two not be spying on them. With all the changes that had happened over the years that they were trapped, they should work together to survive in this strange place. Unfortunately he doubted that trust was something that the other two had much of anymore. Heero had a suspicion that they thought that he and Trowa would plot against them because they did not approve of what they were doing with their humans. He didn't like it, but the also knew that all four of them needed to work together to survive here. What few things Duo had told him, humans weren't as powerless as Wufei and Quatre thought they were. He wanted to talk with both Trowa and Duo without worrying about being overheard. He knew of one thing that the other two would not get curious about and it would give him some time alone with both Trowa and Duo. Heero grabbed a pair of shorts made from a curious stretchy material from one of the drawers and a pair of what Duo had called sneakers and tossed them at him.

"Trowa does not believe that you are clever enough to be hunted. Show him." Heero ordered him.

Duo stared at the clothing and the sneakers for a minute before putting them on. It was so weird to be wearing clothes after running about naked as long as he had been. Granted running short shorts weren't exactly dressed, but it covered what needed to be covered. He quickly braided his hair so that it wouldn't get more tangled then it was when he was running about. He found a tie to keep it braided and then looked at his two captors and asked in a shaky tone, "What's the rules this time? What... what's going to happen if you catch me?"

Heero grinned wolfishly at him. His human still had spirit, even if he was frightened about what was going to happen to him. "You get to try and escape. We get to play with you when we catch you," Heero thought for a moment and then scowled at Duo. "No drowning yourself. We catch you in the water, you are caught. No cheating by killing yourself."

"I am not listening to the last one. You just got to get to me, if you can, before I pull that stunt," Duo told him.

Trowa almost laughed at the way the little human was trying to bargain with Heero. He wasn't surprised that Heero was not beating him for his cheekiness any longer. It was refreshing that the human wasn't that scared that he wouldn't talk back to either one of them. He was just wondering why Heero would let this one out of his sight for a hunt now. Was it because he thought that the little human couldn't actually escape from here and just wanted to tease him by showing him how futile it was? Or that Duo actually could escape and the humans would find out about them when he led them back here. What exactly was a gun? He should ask Duo about that. However, if Heero was that worried about Duo escaping and bringing other humans back with him, why would he let him out of his sight right now? Another scream from a different part of the house gave him the answer. Heero wanted the human as far away from this place as possible so that they could explain to him their plan to train him. Trowa agreed with Heero that it might be better if he wasn't listening to the others scream when they told him their plan. The hurts that the other ones were undergoing at the hands of Wufei and Quatre were most of the reason that Duo had that trapped look in his eyes.

"You think that he can get away?" Trowa asked.

He really wasn't worried about that, since Heero had never lost someone that he had been tracking in all the years that he had existed. It could be because that failure would have resulted in his destruction. That was one of the things that had made both of them into such merciless killing machines. Failure would result in either their destruction and when the Council had found out that they were fond of each other, the other one might be hurt or destroyed for the other's failure. It had amused the Council that their little toys had advanced enough in their thinking and emotions to actually care for one another. To a lesser extent in the past, they both had tried to protect Quatre and Wufei from the Council's perversions before they had realized that it was too late. It still hadn't stopped them once they had found that out, but it did allow them to choose their course of action better at times. Trowa had always know that if it had come down to a choice between one of the others and Heero, he knew who would have won. Sometimes, in the dark he had hoped that there would be a someday that allowed the two of them to win free of the Council's influence. Now that it had happened, he wondered how they would survive. They should keep Duo alive and sane if only to help them figure out how he and Heero could survive in this strange place.

Heero shook his head, "He does not know enough woodcraft to lose me. It's dark also. We will find him easily enough. I don't think that he can get to the human settlement even if it is only a couple of miles from here. We will catch him."

Duo shivered for a moment before heading out of his room. He knew that the other two would follow him. He just hoped that Quatre had closed the door and he didn't have to see him torturing Zechs. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the door was closed. It was probably the door to the bathroom in that room that was open, which was why he could hear everything so well.

Duo took off into the woods as soon as he was out off the house. He knew that he had no chance of out running the both of them. He was just grateful for some time by himself and right now he didn't care how short it was. Getting put of house and away from all those awful noises that were coming out of the other rooms was wonderful, no matter what the reason. He jogged deeper into the woods, trying to figure out where he was going. After he was out of sight of the house he stopped. Duo just breathed deeply for a minute, standing still to listen to the sounds of the outdoors. He didn't know how long that he stood there before he could make himself move again. Heero hadn't told him how much of a head start that he had with them this time.

Duo started jogging in a random direction, trusting in the fact that he was totally lost making it harder for both Heero and Trowa to find him. There was enough tree cover to make it hard for them to find him by flying. They would have to be on foot, like him to find him. They did have an unfair advantage that there were two of them, so either Heero or Trowa was going to take to the skies. He was betting on Heero, even though he was might be the better tracker of the two, because he would be harder to spot with his darker coloring. Duo stopped every couple of minutes, he thought, to listen for sounds of pursuit.He couldn't hear anything, but that didn't matter, he knew that all the gargoyles could be soundless when they wanted to be. He also sort of knew that most of this running around in the woods crap was second nature with Heero. From the rare comments that he had made about his past, he was supposed to be some sort of super soldier and bodyguard and this had been part of it. He hadn't been made to or evn later allowed to question any of the orders of his creators, no matter how disgusting he thought they were.

Duo was just guiltily grateful that Heero wasn't the twisted fuck that Wufei was. That whatever had broken in Wufei to make him want to torture people hadn't happened in Heero and that he was actually a decent guy or at least was trying to be. He had no idea what kind of person Trowa was and being shared with him was enough to make he want to scream endlessly, but he couldn't. He had to look on the bright side, what little there was. Trowa was someone that Heero trusted. Heero didn't trust Wufei or the other one, Quatre. Both of them seemed to get off on the hurt thing with humans. Trowa also had sort of saved him from Quatre when he wanted to bully him. Harm was too strong a word to use for what the other one seemed to be planning to do to him. The fact that Trowa had also had bothered to explain what had happened to Zechs's girlfriend was a point in his favor. What was terrifying him was the fact that both Trowa and Heero might be having sex with him in the future. He didn't want that. He didn't like that both Heero and Trowa would be using him. One of them was bad enough, but two of them?

Duo had all sorts of these types of thoughts running through his head while wandering around in the woods. Between the lack of light and no knowledge of either these woods or woodcraft he would be half way grateful if either Heero or Trowa could find him. He didn't know what that other two might do if he got lost by accident and managed to make it to the authorities.They would not believe the truth, but they might do something to check out the house because of the way that he looked. Heero's habit of grabbing him had left him covered in bruises. All he had to say was that there was an abusive asshole up at the house and the Sheriff might do something about it. The Sheriff had never rally believed that he and Treize had been related by marriage. He had always thought that Treize was fooling around with him. If he managed to hint at enough of the truth, a break-in and extended hostage situation, the Sheriff might bring in the State Police, who had a lot heavier firepower available to them and stop Quatre and Wufei. As much as Heero and Trowa scared him, they weren't like they other two and deserved a chance to try to survive in this time.

Trowa smiled slightly as he tracked Duo. The human had left a trail that a blind man could follow. How could someone live in the woods and not know anything about how to walk in it? What kind of place was this?At first he thought that Duo was trying to be clever and confuse him with laying down several sets of tracks, but then Trowa realized that Duo was hopelessly lost and just wandering aimlessly. Trowa decided to just follow just one set of tracks, trusting that Heero would be keeping an eye on Duo from above and that he wouldn't let him out get to the nearby human settlement. He didn't want to crowd Duo and make him panic and maybe hurt himself in that panic if tried to escape him. Time alone would calm down Duo and may make him amenable to their plan. If he was as clever as Heero thought he was then he would agree to their plan. He might not like what they had to do, but he might also be able to think of something else that they could all agree on. Trowa had not given up on eventually taming Duo, but he also was willing to wait before he saw how passionate he could be. Heero had told him that Duo submitted to because he had to, not because he enjoyed Heero. Duo enjoyed Heero's touch or at least his body did. His resistance to the other could be worn down by drowning him in pleasure. By slowly making him accept the fact that the two of them owned him and would protect him, while ensuring that they all enjoyed each other.

Heero flew overhead, darting in and out of the treetops. He wasn't worried about losing Duo in the woods, but he was slightly worried about him being able to get to the human settlement this time and getting some sort of help. He wasn't worried about the humans being able to hurt him, but he didn't want the attention that it might call to them. A mob of humans would be something more then he wanted to handle. They might not be able to hurt him, but he was afraid of what they might do to Duo and the rest of the humans. That race was able to turn on their own kind at without a second thought. Duo might be hurt because he had been taken care of and not abused. What they might do to him worried him. He had seen it too many times not to worry. When power changed hands among them, more blood was shed then he ever thought was possible. Followers of those on the loosing side usually suffered because they were on the wrong side. Wufei and Quatre enjoyed those assignments more then he and Trowa did. Those that he had been told to put into power had called him brutal beast, but they had engineered more atrocities for their power then he had ever been able to stomach.Thinking about the rivers of blood that he had seen the humans create over time, he promised himself that he would protect Duo from both his own kind and his twisted brethren.

Heero pulled himself back to the present and concentrated on searching for Duo. He would let Trowa run him down, unless it looked like Duo was going to bolt. Only then he would interfere with his hunt. Trowa should have the first taste of Duo and he hoped that it would go better then their first time. It should go better now that Duo was more comfortable about such things. He was no longer terrified about mating with anyone and Trowa most likely would treat him better the he had, not being half out of his mind with frustration and anger. He would treat Duo with the care that he deserved

 


 

Heero circled to gain attitude and to see if he could see if Duo had gotten out of the woods yet. Duo had figured out that getting out from under that cover of the trees was a disadvantage for him, so he was probably going to stick to the woods. The wide open spaces of the lake and the road made him too vulnerable to them because of they could swoop down and get him without Duo being able to tell that they had found him before they took him. On foot, in the woods they lost the advantage that their wings gave them. Heero wondered if Duo had thought that the two of them would split up in their hunt for him. Not that this was really a hunt. It was more like a pretext to get him out of the house. The need that he had to hurt humans had passed during the time that he had spent with his pet human. He no longer had the deep seated need to hurt them because of the daily humiliations that he had had to endure at the hands of the Council or their minions. He had lost his interest in revenge simply because he had won, but 'outliving' them in a manner of speaking. Because of the spell that he had been imprisoned in, he had been freed from them as they had finally died and the lands under their control had disappeared due to time. He had no idea how long it had been, the millennia that had passed while they had been out of contact imprisoned by that spell.

Wufei was angry that they no longer had the backing of the Council to spread terror among the humans by doing their bidding. Heero was grateful that they were no longer controlling his life. He was happy here. Duo was telling him about the world that he had woken up in and Trowa was with him. They didn't have to fear what new perversion the Council would inflict on them because they had gone beyond the parameters that they had set for them, punishment because they were not the twisted creatures that they wanted or because they had discovered something inside themselves that the Council hadn't understood. Heero circled around for a third time just to check to make sure that Duo was in the woods before he went in there after him.

 


 

Duo stumbled through some clearing for what swore was the third time before he sank down the ground to rest. He was too tired to care about Trowa and Heero hunting him right now. After a week or so of bad meals and 24/7 terror, he had no more energy. He didn't know how long he had been wandering around in the woods. If Heero and Trowa were such good trackers, they could damn well find him in here. He had no idea where he was and if it wasn't too much effort he would be kicking himself for not being able to get out of this patch of woods to get into town. He had run into the same problem that he had run into when Heero had chased him into here the first time. He had gotten turned around and lost before he could find a road to follow into town and try and follow it. He didn't want to get too close to the lake again, there were too many bad memories there and he knew that Heero and Trowa would catch him easily out in the open

Trowa smiled as he saw Duo sitting with his head on his knees in a clearing near the house and nowhere near any of the roads that lead to the human settlement. He had caught a quick glimpse of it when he flew up to get an overview of the forest to see how big an area that he had to search. If Duo had had any sort of woodcraft, he would have been able to evade the two of them long enough to escape, if he had stuck to the woods. Trowa deliberately stepped on a twig to warn Duo that he was heading towards him. Duo looked up, but didn't bother to get up or try to run.

"If you had any sort of skill at this I would have found you sooner," Trowa said to him, trying not to give into the urge to tease the boy about it and deciding to do so. It was funny in an odd way that Duo was able to get so lost, so fast. "You almost got me as lost as you were when I was trying to follow you."

"I'd think it was funny too, if I knew where I was," Duo told him sourly. He was so glad that he was amusing Trowa. He would be in a better mood about getting lost if he wasn't so tired and frightened. Seeing Trowa again had brought him back into controlled panic mode again. They had found him and then they were going to do things to him.

"You are on the far side of the house, away from the human settlement. You are not more then a thousand paces from it," Trowa said. "I think that the next time that I get you out of the house it will be for training in woodcraft, just so that you won't get me so confused."

"Next time?" Duo asked doubtfully.

Trowa shrugged and crouched next to him. "Next time," he repeated. "The weather is warm around here and it will be good for you to leave the house. Heero and I... there will be times that we do not want to be around the others and chasing you around the woods will be the excuse that we will use to get away. Do not think that we enjoy the same things that our brothers do."

"I... I don't know," Duo stuttered. #Shit if you liked the same things I'd be on the ground with you in top of me instead of talking about future outings. Hell you actually want to teach me something and if I didn't know better, you are laughing at me. Not mean laughter, but you think that it's funny that I can get lost in the woods. Heero... Wufei disgusts him because of what he is doing and not doing.#

"You're frightened of us. I know that," Trowa told him quietly. "Heero and I, we are willing not to mate with you for awhile, but there are things that are beyond are control. If Quatre and Wufei thought that we were not interested in you, then they would think that you were fair game."

Duo shivered and put his head down on his knees again. "That's what you were talking about, weren't you in the room. What to do about me," he asked, feeling miserable. #Pity fuck from a rock, you have sunk low in this world#

"While I do not want to really share you with Heero, I also do not want to be responsible for being the one that let Quatre and Wufei hurt you. I also know that you will submit to us and your body does enjoy it, your mind is another matter. I was willing to wait for you to eventually enjoy us with both your body and your mind. Because of the way that things are, we... none of us have the freedom to do what we want. If we do not mate with you, the other two will not think that we want you. If they think that... then they abuse you like the others. Heero and I do not want that. Heero is fond of you for more then your body. He is reacting to your kindness and the fact that you do not look down on him."

Duo shivered. "I... I don't want that. I don't know... you know... how it's going to happen. What... what is going to happen to me? How are you and Heero going to do... mate with me?" Duo decided that using their word for sex might make it easier for Trowa to understand what he was asking him. While he was uneasy that he was alone with Trowa, the fact that the guy was willing to talk with him rather then throwing him down on the ground and just doing it to him. He could believe that Heero liked him in an odd sort of way because of the times that they had spent together without sex. Heero seemed to enjoy reading and cooking with him as much as playing with his body.

Trowa sat back on his heels and then pulled Duo closer to him, rubbing his arms in an attempt to make him feel warmer. He thought that Duo's shivering might be from the chill in the air or it could be that the human was frightened still of him. Duo struggled for a second before he relaxed, realizing that Trowa wasn't trying something with him. He leaned into the embrace and relaxed. Trowa wasn't hurting him now. It might be different in the future. He was still confused about what a mating between the three of them would demand from him.

"We won't hurt you," Trowa promised him. He added in a gentle, teasing tone, "It can be quite enjoyable." #Frightened out of your wits about what you think might happen. Poor human... haven't you figured out that it might be worse knowing what was going to happen to you? I found that out... waiting for whatever perverted pleasure they repeated... generation after generation of degradation at the hands of the Council and their allies, I learned what could happen and hated it. If it wasn't for Heero... #

Duo sighed, "Heero taught me that. That touching me can feel good and after the first time he was really good to me. It's just... " #I don't know what you want... if you are nice or if you will hurt me.#

"You do have more then one opening," Trowa reminded him in an amused tone. The human was so innocent about things it was amusing. When had he seen someone that innocent? Not for a while, if ever.

Duo blushed. He had been so terrified about what he thought might happen to him that he didn't even think of the obvious. One of them would use his mouth while the other one would be in his ass. He had thought the worst in his terror, that Trowa and Heero would be using his ass at the same time. Given the size of the two of them, he knew it would have hurt. He was grateful that Trowa was willing to explain it to him even though he was teasing him about it.

"I understand you being a bit frightened," Trowa explained to him. "I don't think that Heero has been or would be very good at telling you what to expect. We also really haven't have time to tell you what we want from you." #Trying to figure out where we are and what we should do took up most of our time. Heero's out there to give us some time alone as much as he is searching for you. I think that there is a lot that Heero knows and he isn't telling. Things he learned from you because he listened to you and you bothered to treat him like he had a brain and was good for more then just following orders or satisfying a whim.#

"Things were busy there for awhile," Duo mumbled. "The second time that he... he told me what he was doing and stuff... he was really nice about it even while I was freaking out about things."

There really hadn't been time to explain things to him, even if Heero had been interested in doing so. Dealing with all the crap that he needed to with Wufei and Quatre and helping him get Treize and Zechs taken care of. Plus, Heero had been really excited about seeing Trowa after all the time that they had been apart and wanted to spend time with him. Explaining his plans to his human pet wasn't high on the list of things for him to do.

 


 

Heero landed and jogged into the woods, easy following the tracks that Trowa had left for him to follow. From what he could see of Duo's tracks, the human was either very good or very lost when he went this way. Heero was betting on lost from what he could tell. Duo had passed through this trail at least three times that he could tell. Trowa's tracks were less confusing for him, since his brother had chosen to follow just one set of tracks out of all the ones that were Duo's. He kept a steady pace until he came to the clearing that Trowa had found Duo in. He was glad that Trowa had found Duo, but a bit jealous that they were sitting so close together and touching. He shouldn't be though because he had been the one that wanted the two of them to get to know each other better. He had thought that they might even been closer to mating by now. They both looked up as he entered the clearing.

"I see that you managed to find us, even with our human's masterful attempt to confuse us," Trowa teased Heero.

Duo smiled shyly. "It's the little known school of getting totally lost to confuse everyone," he explained to Heero. Our. Fuck that was a scary word still to him. Trowa and Heero actually thought that he was their property more then anything else. They were taking care of him because of that more then because they liked him. He was just something that was useful to them and they were going to take care of him so that the other two wouldn't break him and make him useless for the two of them.

"I am just glad that I found you," Heero told them roughly.

"Thank you for giving us time to talk," Trowa told Heero.

He couldn't believe that Duo had no idea what to expect with them, which was one of the reasons that he had been so frightened. His mind had gotten stuck on one thing it seemed and he couldn't think beyond that. Not that he had any reason to believe that it would be pleasurable with both of them. Their human seemed very sheltered about things.

"Trowa explained things to me," Duo said softly. "He's good at explaining things and being patient like you are. You're both nice. I don't tell you that enough."

Heero stared at Duo for a second. His human was giving him a compliment. He had never been told that he was good at explaining things or even that he was good at something. Duo could think that he was nice even after he had done what he had done in the bathroom to him earlier? That he was going to be used by the two of them and he didn't like that even with him. No matter how prettily he begged for release there was a look in his eyes that told Heero that he hated that he begged him even while he wanted his release. He wondered if he or Trowa had ever looked like that when they were being used by their human masters and made to enjoy it.

Duo saw the confused look on Heero's face and explained why he thought he was decent to him. "You know the word 'no'. That's why you're nice." #I can say no, not now. It's not as good as no, not ever, but it's more then the others are allowed.#

"Trowa told you that we are going to mate with you. Just because he is here... " Heero started.

Duo interrupted him. "I have always told you that I didn't like that alternative. Trowa just told me that it was worse then I thought. Given the choice... a pity mating from you isn't bad. I never told you that you weren't good about this mating stuff, just that I didn't want to. Stupid as it sounds, you aren't the problem here, me and my stupid hang ups are." #Heero given the choice I wouldn't let you touch me like that again. I don't have that choice though. So I will let you do things to me that I both love and hate. Love because it feels so good and hate because even though you listen to me about not wanting to do it then, I don't have the choice of never doing it with you. That's why I hate it.#

"You are the way that you are because a stupid human abused you," Heero told him. "I never blamed you for that after the lake."

Duo shuddered. He really didn't want to be reminded of that.

"But I found out many delightful things about you when I bothered to be gentle," Heero told him, trying to ignore that shudder. Forcing Duo had been a bad idea. Showing him that he could enjoy him even if Duo didn't want to, had been better for both of them, shared passion was always better then indifference.

Trowa hugged Duo, not wanting to know anything about the lake incident. He knew what a frustrated Heero was capable of. Such strength and anger had never been aimed at him, but he had seen the results. That Duo had survived it was amazing. That Heero had bothered to rescue the human from drowning when he tried to escape Heero's claim of ownership of him had been either very brave or very stupid. Knowing the ignorance that the Humans now had of their existence and abilities, it had been probably a mixture of both when Duo had done that.

"I found out that my little human enjoys my essence," Heero told Trowa in the old language, changing the topic. "Such joy it gives to him. One should see it."

"Do you think that he would react the same way to me?" Trowa asked curiously in the same tongue.

He had had few humans that responded like that to his essence, because he had found that they were the easiest ones to deal with when he wanted to mate with him. That Duo was one of those only made him more appealing to him. He had been attracted to him, even with what he had told Heero. That this human could actually become more then a pet to the both of them was interesting and a human that was kind to him was someone that he wanted to explore. When he had reassured him that it was just as much pleasure with three as there was with two and no pain, Duo had relaxed a little. Resigned to his fate more then anything, but it was better then the terror that he had sensed in him earlier.

"Let us find out," Heero suggested impatiently.

Duo looked back and forth between the two of them, confused about what they were talking about until Trowa started to guide his mouth to his cock. Duo struggled for a second, surprised more then anything. Trowa wouldn't have bothered to explain how a threesome worked unless they had been planning on doing it with him in the woods. He calm downed after he had gotten over his alarm at Trowa's move and then let them do what they wanted to him. He knew that it wasn't going to hurt and that he needed to do this for protection from the others.

"I think that we've talked enough," Trowa said hoarsely in English, agreeing with his brother. Trowa gently pushed Duo down to the ground until he was on his hands and knees before him. "Suck on me," he ordered him. He wanted to feel that hot mouth around his cock.

Duo kissed the tip before slowly sliding his mouth down the shaft. Trowa tasted and felt different from Heero. It must be because they were made out of different kinds of stone. Trowa was sharper flavored, the opals that he was made of there tasting differently then Heero's tiger stone. Both of them tasted better then the guy that had had him before. He pushed his shorts off his hips and let it slide down to his knees, glad that Heero had chosen a pair that was so easy to get off. He wanted to show the other two that he was willing to cooperate with their plan. It wasn't like he hadn't had Heero's cock in his ass before. He had noticed that Heero had brought oil with him so that it wouldn't hurt. The alternative he didn't want to think about and he knew that neither of the others would treat him this good, he decided as Heero started to dribble the oil that he had brought with him on the small of his back before starting to spread it into his crack, with his fingers.

Heero had circled around to the back of him and teased his opening with a slick finger before sliding it into him slowly, playing with him a little before finding his sweet spot. Duo moaned with pleasure when that happened, trying to remember to breathe with Trowa's cock in his mouth and Heero doing that to him. He was whimpering steadily as Heero inserted another finger into him and loosened him up, constantly stroking his sweet spot while he was stretching him. He could come just with him doing that.

"Keep on sucking on me," Trowa ordered him, even though Duo showed no inclination to stop. If anything, Heero's tormenting him made him more fervent with his task, sucking on him harder and taking him deeper in his mouth. He had been celibate for too long and the combination of Duo's hot, wet mouth and the sounds that he was making made him want to come. "Heero... " he warned his lover.

Heero grinned and withdrew his fingers. He knelt behind Duo and slowly slid into him. Duo groaned as he was filled and Heero started to thrust in and out of him, striking at his spot effortlessly. Heero stared at Trowa, the sight of his lover on the edge making him want to come too. Duo's hot body was just an instrument for their pleasure, his mouth and his ass bringing them to their gratification, whether or not he was enjoying it. That he was just made it better for the two of them."Come love... " he crooned to Trowa.

Trowa grasped Duo's hair to hold his head still and then thrust deeply down into his mouth, pouring his essence into Duo's body and listening to him gulp it down like he was starving. Heero came when he saw the look on his lover's face, the ecstasy that he only saw when Trowa reached his peak of pleasure. He grabbed at Duo's hips to hold him still as he filled him from his other end. After he came, he reached around to fist Duo's cock, proud that just touching him brought his little pet human to his peak so easily when Duo came from that one touch.

Duo whined when he felt that both of them come in him and he was still on the edge. However Heero's fist tightening around his cock made him come, spilling all over the ground as he voiced his pleasure around Trowa's cock. Trowa slowly withdrew from his mouth, letting him lick his cock clean before collapsing on the ground before him. Heero played with his cock for a little while before pulling out and joining Trowa on the ground in front of him and hugging him in some post coital snuggling. Duo collapsed at their feet satisfied that they had both enjoyed him and he had gotten off too. It was better then good with the two of them. He leaned over and took Heero's hand and brought it to his mouth, licking his own come off of him. He really liked the taste now after all the times he had gone down of Heero. He slipped off his shorts and revealed in the fact that he was naked. The slow trickle of Heero's stuff down his legs felt good to him now after all the times he had fucked him.

Heero smiled and played with Duo's braid as he cleaned his hand off. His human was well tamed if he was willing to do this without being ordered. Duo finished cleaning off his hand and then twisted around to half crawl up Trowa's body, stopping when he was half draped across him. Trowa looked down in amusement, wondering what Duo was planning.

"Ya'know that I didn't get to kiss you yet," Duo told him seriously. "Can I kiss you?"

"Of course little one," Trowa assured him. Duo was very responsive to their essence if he was this bold with him. Not that he had been exactly shy before, but Trowa was quite sure that Duo would never demand this of him if he wasn't aroused by his essence. He wanted to see how far Duo was willing to go. This had just taken the edge of his desire. He would be ready again soon and he wanted to feel more of Heero and Duo.

Duo leaned up and kissed Trowa, slipping his tongue boldly in his mouth almost from the beginning and sparring with his tongue, as the two of them got more involved in the kiss. Trowa kissed him back, enjoying the taste of himself in Duo's mouth.Heero watched the two of them amused more by Duo's reactions then anything. He was glad that the two of them were enjoying themselves. He didn't know how long that the two of them had been kissing before Duo broke off to breath. That was something that they hadn't had worry about when he and Trowa were kissing. Kissing was one human custom that they both enjoyed immensely.

"Do you want to see what else Heero taught me?" Duo asked breathlessly.

"Of course," Trowa assured hum. He looked over Duo's head at Heero. "He is bold now," he told him in the old tongue.

"You don't mind?" Heero asked, amused.

"He is enchanting this way," Trowa assured him. "I can see the fascination that you have with him as a pet. You don't feel slighted?"

Duo looked at the two of them and frowned, "You don't mind do you Heero? I won't... " He didn't understand what they were saying, but he didn't want to have Heero feeling left out.

"This is part of being with us," Heero assured him. "I enjoy seeing Trowa's pleasure with you as much as mating with you."

Duo smiled his thanks at Heero. He had been so silly about things earlier. He felt better now that things had been explained to him and the not scary it seemed part was over. Part of his mind knew that Trowa's stuff had the same effect on him that Heero's goop had; making him act really weird, but it also he didn't care about that because of it. He wondered if he could talk the two of them into just letting him go down on them all the time instead of fucking him. Feeling like this all the time would make things a lot better for him. He could see why people got on drugs if it felt this good. He leaned over to kiss Heero on the shoulder before turning his full attention to Trowa.

"You taste good," Duo told him. "Different from Heero, but also nummy. I'm going to lick you all over."

"Lick away," Trowa commanded him.

Duo kissed him quickly on the lips before leaning tracing a path down Trowa's neck to him chest. He wanted to see if Trowa would get as much enjoyment out of his sucking on his nipples as he did when Heero did it to him. They were very appealing to him right now as they sparkled in the dim light. He gingerly touched one with his tongue. Trowa made a soft sound of pleasure at that and so Duo started to lick it harder, marveling at the sounds that Trowa was making. He moved to suck on the other nipple, while playing with the other one. He started to switch back and forth between the two of them and then started licking and kissing all over Trowa's chest, caressing him all over because touching him felt so good right now and he made the most wonderful noises. Trowa's pleasure sounded much different then Heero's. Heero grunted and groaned, while Trowa made these little whimpers and whispers in his pleasure. He vaguely realized that Heero and Trowa were caressing him also, the three of them touching and fondling each other, their desire growing slowly it seemed. He didn't care he just wanted to touch and be touched.

Duo looked up from what he was doing to see Heero kissing Trowa. He paused to enjoy the sight before resuming his exploration of Trowa's chest and stomach. He rubbed his stiffened cock against Trowa's stomach enjoying the feel of smooth stone across his shaft. Trowa's cock was trapped between his thighs and he balanced himself on one hand, as he reached over to play with the head of Heero's cock, smearing the fluid that was on the tip to make it easier to stroke it. Heero and Trowa moaned at his attentions and he was pleased that he was able to make them feel so good, as good as he felt. He decided to divide his attention between Heero's and Trowa's nipples, sucking on either chest, until they both were groaning at his attentions.He thought that he could keep this up for hours, even though he was now balanced unsteadily between the two of them and his own cock ached to be touched and stroked.

Heero broke off kissing Trowa after a while, ordering Duo roughly."Suck on me."

Duo shifted to take him into his mouth, kneeling on the ground so that he could play with Heero with his hands and his mouth. He stroked Heero's balls while taking him as deep as possible, gagging slightly before starting to bob enthusiastically and sucking passionately on him, wanting to have as much of Heero in him as possible. Heero moaned in pleasure, before looking at Trowa and telling him, "Mount him."

Trowa grabbed Duo's hips and placed the head of his cock at his entrance. He was trusting that Duo was still loose enough from Heero's earlier use of him to take him without a problem. Duo felt Trowa starting to enter him and relaxed, wanting the other gargoyle in him. He felt fleeting stab of pain as Trowa entered him, but it changed to pure bliss when he was seated fully in his body and started to rock in time to his movements over Heero's cock, striking his sweet spot without any problem. Trowa's cock was slenderer then Heero's, but slightly longer and felt just as good filling him.

Trowa groaned when he was fully seated in Duo. Duo was loose and slick from Heero taking him. He felt slightly guilty that he didn't allow Duo to adjust to him before starting to move with him, but he heard no protest from the human. In fact he was making more noise if it was possible, trying to beg them for something even while he was sucking on Heero. He wasn't paying attention to what Duo wanted from them, just wanting to take him and fill him with his essence, to mark the human as his when he smelled of him becasue he filled him with his essence.

Heero watched Trowa and Duo through slitted eyes. Duo's mouth was as hot as his ass and his tongue teasing his shaft and his opening was marvelous, his hands caressing his balls and body escalating the pleasure that he was feeling. Trowa he could feel moving with Duo, taking him and seeing how pleasurable it was to be sheathed in his body, to feel the muscles in his ass stroking his cock and urging him to spill his essence in that hot body.

Duo begged the two of them for completion. Earlier it had felt good, but now he knew what he wanted. He wanted to have both of them fill him up with their stuff, shooting off in his ass and his mouth. He wanted to come, the long foreplay that they had indulged in making him forget that he ever had been afraid of this.

Heero came first, Duo's tongue working on his shaft driving him over the edge. He fisted his hair and held his head still as he thrust as deep as possible into his mouth, proud of the fact that Duo was so well trained now that he didn't gag, but swallowed him greedily, gulping down his essence ravenously and moaning continuously. Duo came at the taste of Heero, the gargoyle's essence triggering his orgasm like it had so many times in the past. There had been an instant of fear when Heero had acted so roughly, but it past and then he eagerly took what Heero was offering him. He wanted the feeling that their goop gave him. He wanted it more then anything. Duo groaned in pleasure when Trowa pushed into him as deeply as possible. It seemed like the two of them were trying get as close to one another in him. He spasmed between them, his lost in ecstasy and beyond caring about the future at the moment, wanting nothing more then to repeat this moment as often as possible.

The sight of Heero forcing Duo to swallow him and the pleasure that Duo took in that force, the human coming because of it, made him seize his hips and thrust as deeply as possible to fill him up. Duo was more passionate then he could imagine and he wasn't objecting to having Heero keep him anymore. The human was more then he expected, even with the responses that he had shown because of his reaction to their essence. Trowa wanted to take him back to the house and play with him for hours, filing both of Duo's openings until he was drained, just to keep him like this. He hadn't wanted someone like this except for Heero. What was it about the little human that he was so enchanting? Addictive almost...

Duo collapsed as soon as the other two withdrew from him. They tortured him, slowly pulling out of him, listening to the whimpers that he made even as he licked Heero clean and tightened his ass around Trowa trying to tempt him to stay. It was too soon that they left him and he mourned that they were no longer in him. Their goop was really good if it made him feel like that! He was still licking his lips even though there was nothing left to taste, when the two of then cuddled each other as he crouched at their feet.

Trowa and Heero smiled down at Duo. Their little human was so passionate. Sweaty and covered with bits of leaves, they still wanted to mount him again. Trowa leaned over to help Duo up and wasn't surprised that Duo kissed him fervently as soon as he was on his feet. Duo reached over to pull Heero closer to him and transferred his attentions to the other gargoyle as soon as he was with in kissing distance.

"It's almost light Duo," Heero told him, when Duo stopped kissing him and started to kiss Trowa again.

Duo sighed and stopped kissing them. He was covered in leaf mold, sweat and his own semen. Trowa and Heero's stuff was oozing down his legs, adding to the general mess. His asshole throbbed and his lips felt swollen from all the kissing that he had done. There was this general feeling of bliss that he had, but he also wanted more from the two of them. He didn't care who did what to him, but he wanted both of them inside him again.

"Let us get back to the house," Trowa told him. He did not want to be outside when the humans were awake. The night had always been their province, the weak humans never venturing outside at that time. Day was the time that the humans were awake and he did not want to be found by them.

He started to brush off the debris that covered him. It was easier to brush Heero and him off then Duo. The leaves stuck to his body. Duo tried to get as much as possible off, but he was still streaked with dirt when he was through. Heero picked up Duo's clothing and looked around the clearing. There was no evidence that he could see that they had been there. There were some disturbed areas on the ground, but aside from the evidence of Duo's passion, anything could have caused them.If the rest of the humans around here were as ignorant of nature as Duo was, they were safe.

Duo swayed and then suddenly giggled, "Rode me hard and now putting me away wet."

Trowa and Heero frowned at the phrase, not quite understanding what he meant. They had both ridden their passionate little pet, filling him with their essence and covering him with his own. He was covered with various fluids, but they were starting to dry. Of course they were going to mount him again! They both had years of stasis to make up for and Duo's sensual body was going to help them do so.

"We'll ride you harder back at the house," Trowa promised him.

"Want that," Duo told him slurring his words a little. "Tired, but... want to more."

Heero leaned over and kissed him hard, hugging him to his body and running a finger up his cleft, gathering up the moisture that was leaking out of him. He stopped kissing Duo and offered him his finger, watching with delight as he licked it clean.

Duo licked Heero's finger, not caring that the stuff he was cleaning off of it had come out if his ass. He wanted anything that he could get right now. Part of him was horrified that he seemed infatuated with the two of them, but more of him wanted more of their goop in his stomach to keep feeling so good.

"More is all that we want from you too," Heero told him.

Trowa kissed Duo gently on the forehead before leading them out of the clearing. The house was only five minutes away and given the isolation of the area, the humans from the settlement finding them seemed slim. But being cautious was better then being careless. Heero kept Duo in the middle of them, worried that no matter how willing he was, the human was too tired to walk straight. He would fall asleep as soon as they were safe in his room. It didn't matter, since they had time to enjoy him later.

Trowa eased open the front door quietly. He did not want to meet either Quatre or Wufei right now. He was in too good a mood to deal with either of them. Heero followed him inside, herding Duo in front of him. As soon as the three of them were inside the door, Wufei stepped out of the shadows that filled the hallway this early in the morning.

"At least this time your little human managed to walk home this time," Wufei observed in a spiteful tone. The human looked like he was dead on his feet and filthy. He would enjoy telling his brother how bad he looked after spending the night outdoors with the two of them.It looked like they had spent a while chasing him before fucking him. From the amount of dirt that was on him, they had thrown him in the dirt and did him like the animal that he was.

Duo lowered his eyes and kept his mouth shut. He wasn't feeling that good that he wanted to mouth off to Wufei. He had a sneaking suspicion that if Wufei found out how he reacted to the stuff that was in them, Wufei would have his face buried into his crotch so fast that his head would spin. He felt safe that Heero and Trowa were with him. They promised to protect him and he knew that they would. He instinctively moved closer to Trowa and wasn't surprised when he grabbed his braid like a leash and started to lead him up the stairs. He felt that all of them wanted to get as far away as Wufei as possible.

"He'll sleep through the day," Heero said. He was just as unhappy that Wufei had seen them because he would make sure that Duo sounded worse off then he was to Treize. The man did not need whatever gruesome tales that Wufei was going to tell him about seeing Duo like this.

"That's if we let him," Trowa added, walking by his fellow construct. His distaste for Wufei had grown because of the damage that he had seen on Duo's brother. He was glad that Heero followed the two of them, because a united front was what they had to show the other two. If either one of them wavered on what they wanted Duo for it would be a disaster for all of them, not just their pet human, because either Quatre or Wufei would exploit the mistake that they made. He wanted to make sure that they thought that Duo was only a pet and nothing more. That either of the other two ever figured out how much Duo would be able to teach them about this time, then they would make sure that he died a horrible death. He was pretty certain that the other two wanted to keep them ignorant of the possibilities that were available to them in this time. Things that would allow Heero and he to escape their control and live only with their pet human and not obey them because their creators had programmed them with more intellectual skills then fighting ones.

Duo sighed when they entered his room and he curled up on the bed, too tired to think. He suddenly was exhausted from the busy night that they had had and suddenly he couldn't keep his eyes open. "Just a minute... " he pleaded.

Heero and Trowa looked at each other and smiled. They could let their little pet sleep. It wasn't like they couldn't keep each other occupied. Heero threw blanket over Duo and turned to seize Trowa. The time that they had spent in the forest with Duo hadn't even whetted his desire for his brother. They kissed each other hungrily as they sunk down on the bed above Duo.

 


 

Duo woke up later, curled up on the bottom of the bed. He didn't know what woke him, but he thought it might be the slight rocking motion that the bed was making at the other end. He blinked to clear his eyes and saw Heero and Trowa making love. There wasn't any other phrase for what they were doing. Trowa was on Heero's lap, slowly moving up and down as he kissed him. Their wings were spread for balance and they were caressing each other, making soft noises that he barely heard a couple of feet away. Trowa seemed to be savoring every motion that he made, taking Heero deep into his body and then moving so that on the tip was just left inside of him, as graceful as a dancer. It was beautiful and special and Duo couldn't stop watching them. He didn't know how long they were doing that before Trowa stiffened and came, still kissing Heero and making the softest sounds of pleasure, while wrapping his wings around him. Duo figured that Heero had come too because he had wrapped his wings around Trowa and made a soft grunt that Duo had heard before when he came with him.

They held each other for a while longer before Heero looked over at him. Duo flushed, embarrassed that he had intruded on what was such a special moment for the two of them. "That... that was beautiful," he stammered. "I... you lust after me, but that's love. I... I... I didn't mean to watch but... I couldn't stop."

"We're not angry," Trowa told him.

What Duo had told them touched his being. It was amazing that a human could actually accept that they loved each other. None of the others, even the slaves had thought that they were able to do that, the few that has stumbled across them in the beginning, before they had learned to hide the feelings that they had for each other. The Council had thought that they were freaks because they loved each other and used it against them. Wufei and Quatre thought that they were hopeless and weak because of their love.

"We... " Heero started.

"You've been away from each other for a long time and then the two of you bothered to take care of me before... " Duo trailed off.Heero and Trowa tried to act like they were heartless, but he couldn't see them that way. They had been patient with him when they could have just ignored him and let the other two have him. Trowa had bothered to explain to him what would happen with them when he was frightened. Trowa also had gently teased him when he could have just humiliated him because he had been so stupid about things.

"We have been taught patience the hard way," Heero told him grimly. There had been times that they had been together and they couldn't touch each other, never mind mate. Over the years, they had managed to treasure their stolen time together. It was wonderful that they could be together like this. They didn't have to hide it anymore and could spend all the time that they wanted to together without fear of reprisal from the Council.

"Well I can see why you didn't want me around," Duo told Trowa.

Trowa laughed softly, "We are gluttons, human. We want each other and you. The most marvelous thing is that we can mate without fear. You are here to make sure that it continues. That you are desirable to us is a bonus. But we do need you to tell us how to survive here."

"You I have no problem with," Duo's eyes went hard. "But the other two I'd gladly see powdered. I just hope that you two can find someplace in this world to stay and live in peace." #Just not with me. Even if I want to have you two pounding me into the floor most of the time, I also want to be as far away from you as possible. I think that I need to like the pounding part to stay sane until I can escape here and help Treize and Zechs.#

 


 

Duo frowned as he looked in the cabinets in the kitchen. Quatre had barged in on the three of them and demanded that he start feeding Zechs and Treize again. Heero and Trowa hadn't argued with him and he had been too out of it to care. He just rolled over after the two of them were done with him and slept. Trowa had woken him a little while later, reminding him that he should check on the other two. He hadn't really woken up until now, looking at the remains of their supplies and wondering how it got this bad.

He didn't know how much time had passed, because he had been so out of it going down on the two of them and fooling around with them. Heero and Trowa wanted to him to go down on them all the time it seemed. He hadn't argued with them, he felt too good afterwards from whatever was in them. He couldn't remember the last time that he ate even or how long it had been since Trowa and Quatre had showed up with Zechs. Now that his head had cleared, he realized that something had to be done about the food situation. He guessed that the other two had been getting fed because they were down to the last can of soup and the last can of stew. He grabbed the soup and turned around to talk to Heero, who had escorted him to the kitchen. Trowa was just hovering in the background, as was his habit. He let Heero do all the talking for them out of the bedroom, for some unknown reason. Duo was impressed that someone who should have stood out because of the way he was made, that Trowa managed to hide in plain sight very well because he just was able to hide without doing it.

"I know that Wufei and Quatre don't care, but the food situation is getting bad. Could you ask Wufei if he would let me order more food and stuff? I can do that without talking to anyone. Treize hated shopping so we do most of it online. I can tell the store what we want, they charge it to his credit card and deliver it. I tip the guy and that's it. One or all of you can watch me while I'm doing it. It's something that a lot of humans have access to. It's called the Internet." Duo explained, hoping that Heero wouldn't be too upset that there had been a way for him to get in touch with people without him knowing about it.

It wasn't like he had had a chance to use it. Heero and Trowa had watched him too closely. The telephone and the Internet wasn't something that he really bothered to explain to them. Duo was just glad that no one had tried to call since they had gotten here. It was scary how isolated he and Treize were from the rest of the world once he was out of school for the summer. Neither one of them were what you could call social with the locals, but this was just plain scary. If they survived this, he was going to make an effort to make friends if it killed him.

"I will ask Wufei if you can get supplies in the manner that you usually do and that I will watch you while you are doing so," Heero promised him. If Duo had a new marvel that he could show him, then he would make sure that Wufei knew as little about it as possible. From the dealings that he was having with Wufei lately, his fellow construct wanted as little to do with this modern world that he found himself in. He just wanted to rule over the humans, like the Council had done in the past, ignoring the things that had changed since then. Quatre was being a little more realistic, but not by much. He was trying to find someplace that was isolated enough so that he could terrorize the humans there as much as he wanted to. Heero supposed that he and Trowa weren't much better, because neither of them had tried to strike out on their own from the rest of the group. He wanted to take Duo with them no matter what happened and he knew that his human would not leave the other two behind.

Duo stared at Heero for a second in confusion before shrugging his shoulders. Heero had promised to take care of the matter and that was all that he wanted. If Heero was playing games with Wufei, he didn't want to know about it. The relationships between the four of them had become clear to him. Trowa and Heero were a team. They also didn't trust Quatre and Wufei. The only thing that the other two had in common was their sadistic tendencies. He couldn't figure out if they actually trusted each other enough to ally against Heero and Trowa, if they showed any interest in challenging Wufei for the leadership of this mess.

Heero smiled, his clever human had figured out that he was up to something, but didn't care to figure out what it was. Duo was coming along splendidly, even if the abuse that the other two were subjected to was wearing on his nerves. Heero made sure that Duo was safe and sound with Trowa before he went to make the request of ordering food. He waited outside of Treize's room, guessing that by the lack of noise that it would be safe for him to disturb Wufei when he was with his human.He knew that something had to be done about feeding the humans and it wasn't like there was anything in this small patch of woods that they could eat. There wasn't anything big enough or plentiful enough besides those small rat-like things that were everywhere. If humans in this time got their food from a central location that was what they were going to have to do, no matter how much Wufei didn't like that. He knocked to announce his presence and waited for Wufei to bid him to enter.

At his muffled, "Come in," Heero opened the door and walked into the room. He wasn't surprised to see that Treize was on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

"What is it that you want brother?" Wufei asked before grabbing Treize's hair and shoving his face into his crotch. "See if you can do a decent job with your mouth in pleasuring me this time. From what Quatre has told me of your brother he manages to do that. Am I not right Heero?" Wufei finished, asking his question in a tone of mock sweetness.

"Duo always pleases me and Trowa, no matter what he is doing," Heero answered, trying to evade telling Treize too much about Duo's activities. He didn't want to add to the man's pain by giving him too many details about his brother's activities.

"And what tears you away from your catamite to talk to me now?" Wufei asked in a bored tone. He thought that he knew what Heero was going to tell him, that the humans had run out of food and that they had to leave this place or forage in the county side. Neither option appealed to him.

"Duo has informed me that they are low in supplies here and he wants permission to order more. He has informed me that he has a way of do so that will limit contact with other humans and it is the way that they usually use so that the other humans will not think that it is odd that they do this. He has not said more then that, aside from telling me this."

Wufei pulled Treize off his shaft by his hair and demanded, "Is this true?"

Treize swallowed hard and answered in a resigned tone, "It's true. We have something that allows us to order what we want from the food store and they deliver it here. The only contact would be with the delivery person." He knew that it was much more complicated then Heero was telling Wufei, but if Heero was not going into the details of how it worked, he was not going to either. He had figured out that Wufei wanted to ignore the changes that had taken place while he had been in stasis. That was one of the reasons that he was still squatting here after all this time. That and the gargoyle was enjoying tormenting him too much. He did and did not want Wufei to get leave here yet. He figured that it would only happen when he tired of him or he killed him. He didn't know which would be worse.

"Then let you tiresome little human do what he needs to do, but watch him like a hawk. If he does something that brings the humans down on us I will kill his brother in front of him before I kill him." Wufei threatened Heero.

Heero nodded and turned to leave. He did not want to watch Treize being torment by Wufei any longer. "I will watch him to make sure that he does not betray us," Heero promised him.

He didn't think that Duo would do anything to harm his brother. He would also get to learn something more about this modern world, which was something, that Wufei was loathed to do. That was getting to be his brother's biggest weakness, the fact that he was unwilling to acknowledge that the humans had created something during the time that they were cut off from the world. All the wonderful things that the humans had created with their science were something that Wufei refused to acknowledge. Heero went down into the kitchen where Duo and Trowa were waiting to hear what Wufei had said. Heero hoped that Trowa had managed to coax Duo into eating something out of what little was left in the house. He was worried that they had been neglecting him because Duo hadn't been reminding them that he needed to eat. From the evidence that Heero had seen, the other two humans had been fed at least. Duo had been more interested in being with them then taking care of his own self. Heero knew that he should have kept a closer eye on Duo, but the care and feeding of humans had not been something that he had had much experience with before. Neither had he had to deal with humans that had become enthralled with the taste of his essence, like Duo obviously had become. He had ignored the needs of his family and his body, interested more in mating with him and Trowa then anything else. Now that he was acting normally Heero could tell that he and Trowa needed to do something before it got too bad, if it wasn't too late.

Duo looked up from the bowl that he had been staring at. Heero hoped that he had eaten some of it. Heero thought that he might have, because Duo wouldn't waste what little food that they had by not eating it.

"Wufei has given you permission to order food in the usual manner, since Treize had agreed with what you said, that there wouldn't been any suspicion about doing it this way."

Duo sighed with relief. He had been getting worried about the food thing. He had been worried that Wufei's answer would be 'kill the humans'.

"Then you get to find out about one of the greatest time wasters of the twenty-first century, the Internet," he told him cheerily. "Just let me figure out what we need besides soup and stew and then we can get on with the shopping experience."

Duo started opening cabinets checking to see was left of incidentals and making notes in his head. He also decided to get some fresh fruit and that weird milk that had been treated to last longer in his order. That might be strange to them, but one little change wouldn't make them suspicious. If it did, he hoped that the delivery guy wouldn't open his big mouth about it. He'd think up something to tell him he hoped. On whim he decided that he order some 'fun' things for Heero and Trowa. He had heard about the chocolate sauce and whipped cream thing and he thought that he two of them might like it. He quickly made the mental order in his head before going towards Treize's workroom. That was where the computer was because his brother liked experimenting with different things and he had a project in the works to be entirely computer generated rather than hand drawn.Duo was thankful that Wufei had never poked his head in here after the mess that he had made in the library with the books. He hadn't gotten around to cleaning up that yet, but he should. Books didn't deserve to be tossed around like that. He checked to make sure that Heero and Trowa were following him as opened the door. He knew that it was a given because they didn't let him out of their sight if they could help it. He walked over to the computer and turned it on, explaining to the two of them what he was doing.

"This is what is known as a computer. It's just a collection of plastic and electronics that mimic human thinking by processing stuff, like complex mathematical formulas. It also can create documents like a typewriter, but everything is all run by electricity, like a lot of things now. Treize uses it for drawing sometimes. All of this can only be done if you have what is called a 'program' that has been designed to do any of those things. A computer doesn't really think because it only does what it wants to do, not what you tell it to do at times. I really have no idea how it works, so that's about as good an explanation that you're going to get."

"So a computer is like a certain human around here that only does what he wants, no matter what we tell him," Trowa teased Duo.

Duo flushed at Trowa's teasing, but continued his explanation. Trowa just liked teasing him. Not that he was mean about it, Duo thought that Trowa finally was able to do it and was indulging himself. "Not all computers can go on the Internet. That requires the computer to have some sort of physical component to do that, like a modem or an Ethernet connection. What happens is the computer, using one of those thingies and another program calls another computer and 'talks' to it. That second computer is the one that lets the first computer talk to every other computer, including the one that we order food from. It's located at the store and will process our order, check with their delivery schedule and then give me a rough time that the delivery guy will drive out here. We have a standing order with them that we can add and subtract food from. This shouldn't take more then five or ten minutes. I can tell the computer what to do by typing on the keyboard." Duo lifted it up, "And the mouse." Duo lifted that up. "The keyboard is in English. The letters aren't in alphabetical order, but how often they're used. What key I hit on the keyboard shows up on the screen. That only works in certain programs though."

Duo checked to see if the computer was finally on and then gestured at the screen. Heero and Trowa stood behind him as he continued to talk, watching what he was doing. They both knew that Duo could be lying to him about what he was doing, but trusted that the threat to his brother's life would keep him honest.

Duo smiled up at them. "Okay, the computer is on and connected to the Internet. It happens every time that computer is turned on because we have a service that is always on and will connect to another computer, called a 'server' and talk to the other computers. All I have to do is click on this picture on the screen, called an icon with the mouse and I will know that it is really working. The icon is a symbol for what is called an internet browser. You can tell where you are on the screen with the mouse because of the arrow." He clicked on the icon and a screen popped up. Heero and Trowa blinked at the suddenness of the motion. One minute the screen was empty and then there was something else on it.

"On the browser me and Treize have a list of places that we go to a lot so that we can just click on it to get there. Usually I'd have to type in what is called an URL, which is just the place where that computer can be found. It's a lot more complicated then this, but you're only going to get the basics. If we spend too much time at this, I think that the others might poke their head in here and I don't want that. This is about the only room that they haven't messed with."

As he was speaking Duo clicked on the listing for the supermarket and brought up the listing that they had for their grocery order. Duo started to quickly check off the things that they usually ordered and the quantity, but left some blank. He didn't think that he could deal with cooking much more then simple meals right now. At the bottom he quickly typed in the things that he wanted to add, such as whipped cream, sauces and the funky milk. He thought for a moment and added three different kinds oil. He was pretty sure that they had used a lot of it during the last few days. He had increased the amount of canned stuff drastically because they had run through it all. He felt bad that he had hadn't been able to ask Zechs if he wanted anything special. He wasn't going to get near Quatre unless he had to and if he talked to Zechs that meant getting near Quatre. He clicked okay to send the order out and sat back for it to process. While he was waiting, he explained what was happening to the other two.

"I just told them what I wanted. The computer is going to check to see if they having everything that I asked for and then tell me a delivery time. It usually takes a few minutes."

Duo glanced down to see if there was any mail. He and Treize shared the same account because neither on of them really used email a lot. He knew that there was mail, but didn't want to check it. He was too afraid that he would actually try to get some help out here. He knew that no one would believe it, but he thought that Treize's agent might be foolish enough to check it out if he contacted him and then he would be responsible for either getting the man killed or worse. He was just glad that the store didn't send their acknowledgements by email like so many others did.

"I spend this time looking at other stuff usually," Duo told Heero and Trowa. "But I'm not in the mood."

"If this was a way for you to contact the outside world, why didn't use it before?" Heero asked him.

Duo shrugged," I wasn't let out of your sight long enough to get to it. Also, I don't want to get any one hurt by dragging them into this. If someone walks into this blind, then they are going to get hurt or killed. I know of very few people that I could call for a rescue. If it hasn't dawned on you yet, let me tell you, Treize and I aren't the most social or liked people in the world. No one to miss us if we fall off the radar. I'm out of school for the summer, so no one is looking for me to show up some place regularly and Treize is a freelance artist. Until someone comes around to pick up his work, no one cares what we are doing. It's not like anyone in that hick town actually likes us. We're the weirdoes in the woods. You guys lucked out."

He stared at the screen for a second. The store had set the delivery date for late tomorrow. He was betting they were the last stop for the day. It didn't matter to him. It gave him a time to clean up the place a little so that it looked a little more normal. He printed off the order, grinning at Heero and Trowa when they both jumped at the sound to the printer starting up and then spitting out the paper that it printed after humming for a minute.

"Sorry. You can take what is on the screen and print it out on paper. You just have to tell the printer to do that. Printing off the order sends some sort of weird signal that you got their message. Also I usually check to see if they gave us the right order."

Duo shut off the computer and them reached around the back and took out the Ethernet cable, unplugging it from the wall too. He handed it to Heero telling him, "This is what lets it talk to the outside world. I can't contact anyone without it. Also... you got to be told about something else too. There is something called telephone that works about the same way. Except its people talking to other people. There's one in this room and the kitchen. The one in the kitchen isn't working because it's what's called a portable phone and it's been off the recharger since you got here. The one in this room is turned down so that it can't be heard beyond a foot or so. I don't know if any one has been calling us or what. As I told you, no one really cares about checking up on me and Treize."

"And why are you telling us this?" Heero asked him coldly. He had gotten about half the terms that Duo was using, but understood that there were alternative ways for Duo to get help that he hadn't used because people would have been hurt.

"Just in case the cavalry actually comes to the rescue," Duo told him. "In case that happens, I want you to get out of here as fast as possible. I don't want you to get hurt or worse. If things get weird, then you might get hurt or captured. I don't want that to happen. I don't want the government to get a hold of you if they found you. You guys deserve to live out the rest of your lives in peace and quiet. While I've been acting odd the last couple of days... shit... I may thing that you're the best thing going, but I got to get Treize and Zechs away from the other two."

 


 

Duo straightened up and stretched. He had cleaned up the house so that the delivery person wouldn't think that something was wrong. He didn't go overboard, but he cleaned up enough so that it looked better then it had. Neither Wufei or Quatre had been happy at Heero's suggestion that they hide out of sight and not bother Treize or Zechs either. His brother and Zechs were in the upstairs bedroom, sleeping so that they couldn't cry out and warn the delivery boy. Quatre had done something weird so that they were both out of it. Duo was just grateful that they were getting some rest. He didn't know where Quatre and Wufei were hiding, but so long as it wasn't near his brother he was happy. It still didn't make him think that he would be able to tell the delivery boy anything without Wufei getting to Treize before he could get him some place out of either gargoyles' reach before they killed him.

Heero and Trowa were watching him by pretending to be the statues that he and Treize thought that the gargoyles first were. It would enable them to watch him to make sure that he behaved and to make sure that Wufei didn't do anything weird with the delivery person. Duo remembered the argument that raged between the four of them as they argued back and forth about that. Quatre and Wufei could not believe that they could not just snatch someone off the street and have people accept it like they used to do. Heero had tried to explain to those that no matter how much they didn't like it, times had changed. The humans weren't the cowed people that they had dealt with before. Humans of this time actually would try and figure out why one of theirs had gone missing and not just shrug their shoulders and claim that it was the work of demons and not do anything about it.

It felt very weird to be wearing clothes. He had put on a long sleeved top and sweat pants to make sure that all the bruises were covered. It was frightening to him that he couldn't remember how he had gotten most of them. He had had very few moments of rationality in the past week or so. All he remembered was the sex part and not much of that. That was scary and he didn't know if he could have the self-disciple to stop doing that. He wasn't going to lie to himself, he was sucking off Heero and Trowa because their goop was something that made the nastiness go away. That most of the rest of the world went away too was a problem. He was going to have to talk to them about that, see if something could be worked out. If they could make sure that he came down once in a while, then he would feel a lot better about things. Hell he knew that they were enjoying the fact that he was such a good fuck toy now because he was so strung out, but they did care enough to make sure that he would take care of himself too. If he got broken, then they would lose all the information that he had. Hell he was teaching them both to read and write English right now. He hadn't realized that they both couldn't read, he just thought that they couldn't read English.

Duo jumped when he heard the bell ring and then went to answer it. He was glad that it was always cool in the woods so that he didn't look too weird with the long sleeves. Duo sighed with relief when he realized that Hans was the one that was doing the deliveries. Hans was about fifty with a beer belly and smoked. A more unappetizing person the store couldn't have sent. He had been half afraid that the store would send one of the girls up here because while he and Treize were odd, they were 'safe'. He opened the door and grabbed the box of food from Hans. He left the door open as he went into the kitchen to drop off what he was carrying and Hans went for another box of food. Duo and Hans made a couple of trips this way, Duo going out to the truck because if he didn't it would look strange. He hoped that Heero and Trowa didn't freak too much at that. He hadn't really ordered a lot of food, but most of it was canned and heavy, so they had to pack a lot of boxes because of the weight.

Duo quickly went unpacked the boxes and checked the list to see if they had given him every while Hans looked on.

"Mind if I smoke?" Hans asked.

Duo shook his head, "You know that it's a no answer, so why do you ask?"

Hans shrugged, "Making small talk. You look like shit."

Duo had been waiting for that comment. Because they didn't exactly fit in here, the closest thing that they had to friends were the delivery guys. "Me and Treize haven't been feeling too good. Some sort of bug, but we haven't gone to the doctor because we want to just let it run its course. Nothing too bad, just a general feeling of crappiness. Treize is asleep right now."

Hans grunted, "You shouldn't... "

Duo interrupted him, "If I was in school I'd try and shake it by hitting the doc's, but since it's just the two of us... " He shrugged. "Besides it could just be my crappy cooking."

"Got everything?" Hans asked.

He thought that there was something else going on, but if the kid didn't want to tell him, he wasn't going to press him. He knew that there was a reason that Duo was wearing long sleeves in the middle of the summer time and he didn't have to be Einstein to figure it out. Duo was hiding something and if it was still going on the next time that he delivered the groceries he'd ask him about it and tell the Sheriff about his worries. Not that the ass would do anything about it, because he didn't give a damn about Duo, but his sister had taught the kid last year and thought that he was one of her better students, if a bit shy.

Duo went over the list one more time and nodded, "Everything's here." He stacked the boxes so that Hans could carry them back to the truck and smiled. "Thanks. You guys are a lifesaver."

Duo handed Hans his tip. "I'll try not to have so much heavy stuff next time."

Hans chuckled, "You and Treize should get something more then canned food if you aren't feeling good."

Duo smiled a little weakly, "Well if it's my lousy cooking... Also Treize has a couple of things that he is working on, so he's up all hours of the night and eats when he wants. I've stopped trying to schedule meals when he's like this."

Hans nodded and made his way back to the truck. Duo stood in the doorway, trying not to scream for Hans not to leave, to get help, to save Treize; but he couldn't. He kept his mouth shut because anything that he would have said would be a death sentence for Treize and Hans. Duo didn't know how long he had been standing there, lost in thought until Trowa came up behind him.

"That human smelled bad," Trowa commented.

"He smokes," Duo replied absentmindedly.

"You shouldn't have left the house," Heero scolded him.

"If I didn't then it would have looked odd and he would have been wondering what was going on. I acted normal and he shouldn't be able to guess that there is something wrong." Duo defended himself. "I wasn't... "

"I know that there wasn't time for you to do anything," Trowa assured him, glaring at Heero. Their human looked bad enough without being scolded.

"I suppose that I should get naked now?" Duo asked them.

"Later," Heero told him. He would enjoy slowly striping the clothes from his body.

Duo pulled himself out of the door and went into the kitchen. "I got to put the food away and I got some things that you might find interesting... "

Heero and Trowa looked at each other and then followed Duo into the kitchen. They weren't going to let him out of their sight and were curious to see what Duo thought might interest them that was food.
