Heero awoke to a wonderfully content feeling. In fact, it felt like he was surrounded by softness and warmth. He opened his eyes to find Noin lying on one side of him and Zechs holding him on the other side; he couldn't help but sigh. It was a new day, and Heero felt like he had a new beginning. He replayed the whole evening in his mind, as he lay safe within their embraces. For the first time, he was able to let the emotions he'd repressed finally surface. Tears filled his eyes as he thought of how close he'd come to missing out on this. He vowed he would make sure not to miss out on anything else life had to offer him, which meant he needed to go visit a certain braided ex-pilot. He smiled as he thought about what the boy's reaction to the new him would be. He couldn't wait to see those violet eyes widen with shock.
"Good morning, sexy," Noin's voice greeted him as she raised herself to place a kiss on his cheek.
Heero looked at her tenderly. "Good morning."
"I take it you don't regret what happened last night?"
Heero shook his head. "Never. It was incredible."
Noin smiled. "Good. I know it was kind of sudden, but I just couldn't sit by and watch you waste your life anymore, Heero. I knew there was so much more underneath that cold exterior of yours." Noin's smile grew. "I was right, too."
Heero laughed. "I'm glad. I needed you both to help me see it. Last night will always be special to me, Noin. I will never forget."
"If you ever do, just come back and see us," Zechs spoke up, stretching languidly before snuggling back against the dark-haired boy. "I'm sure we could refresh your memory in no time at all."
"Is he always this playful in the morning?" Heero asked Noin as he glanced over at Zechs. The blonde was smiling at Heero's teasing.
"Oh, morning, noon, and night," Noin chuckled.
"How could I not be with her around?" Zechs asked defensively.
Noin laughed as she disentangled herself from Heero and stood up. "I'm going to take a shower then make breakfast." With that she walked towards the bathroom. Both men watched her naked form exit the room.
"I'm next," Zechs called out after her.
The two men lay there in silence for a while. Heero didn't know exactly what to say to the blonde. Although Zechs had been part of what they had shared last night, there had never really been any direct contact between them except for the kiss Heero had place on his neck before they'd gone to sleep. Now he lay entangled with the other man, and Heero didn't have a clue what to do. Zechs made no move to extricate himself from their embrace. Heero wasn't sure if it was because the blonde wanted to remain where he was or if it was purely for Heero's benefit; it made Heero uncomfortable not knowing which.
Zechs sensed Heero's unease. "I'm glad that you let us help you, Heero. It means a lot to me that you trusted us like this. It's something I'll always treasure."
Heero turned his head to look at the other man, realizing that Zechs was still lying there with him because the blonde wanted to be. Heero knew he needed to express his appreciation for what Zechs had allowed Noin to do for him. "It means a lot to me that you trusted me with Noin like that. I don't know of too many men who would have let their lover be with someone like Noin was with me. Even though it was for a greater purpose, it was still a lot to ask of you."
"Not at all," Zechs reassured him, his eyes lighting up at Heero's openness. "It was exciting watching you respond. I knew what you were feeling, which made it even better. Noin is an amazing lover."
"Who is now out of the shower," Noin interrupted, a huge smile on her face at catching them talking about her. "Your turn, Zechs." For some reason, Heero got the impression Noin wasn't just talking about a shower either.
Zechs leaned over and kissed Heero on the lips lightly. "Thank you for letting me see the real you. It was an honor and a privilege, but most of all, a pleasure."
Heero watched the blonde get up and was struck again at the beauty of the other man. He couldn't have asked for better teachers than him and Noin. Heero had truly been fortunate. He felt so much for the two of them. It would be hard to leave them after sharing this intimacy. Heero just hoped a greater intimacy awaited him on L2... one involving a violet-eyed bundle of energy.
As Zechs left the room, Noin sat down on the bed next to Heero, smiling at how Heero looked at Zechs' retreating form. She noticed when that look changed and knew his thoughts strayed elsewhere, but the earlier look had given her a glimpse at another desire Heero was hiding.
"So what would you like for breakfast?" she asked coyly. "Or do I know already?"
Heero toweled his hair as he walked from the bathroom back to the bedroom. Noin's words from earlier kept playing in his mind for some reason. Did he want to do something with Zechs? Hadn't what the three of them shared been enough? Noin hadn't seemed upset at the idea, but still, that was something he'd never even considered where Zechs was concerned. Heero knew he wanted Duo for a long-term relationship, but there was something about Zechs that he felt he needed to explore. It wasn't about sex exactly; there was something else... something more.
They had eaten breakfast when Zechs had finished showering then it had been Heero's turn. The water had felt so good. It seemed his senses had been heightened more than before, and it was exhilarating to experience everyday things from such a different point of view. Even breakfast had tasted better. He wondered what Duo's lips would taste like now that he could appreciate them fully. He was lost in those thoughts, gathering his clothes, when he felt someone's eyes on him. He turned to see Zechs standing in the doorway holding out a pair of gray boxers. "You can borrow these," the blonde said smoothly.
Heero smiled and took the proffered item. "Thanks. I don't think mine are in any condition to wear home."
Zechs gave Heero an answering smile. They stared at each other for a moment, saying so many things without words. Zechs' expression turned serious. "You're leaving tonight, aren't you?"
Heero nodded. "I have to, Zechs. Not because of what happened, but because of what I need to happen next. I can still program remotely from L2..."
Zechs frowned. "I'm not worried about the project, Heero. It's just that... well... I kind of wanted to ask you... to do something for me."
Heero took in the blonde's hesitance before speaking. "You know you can ask me to do anything." Heero's heart was beating wildly again. That tone of voice was making him excited. It was amazing to be able to feel such things without having to repress them.
Zechs closed his eyes before continuing, "I need something from you, Heero. It's something only you can give me, but I'm afraid you won't want to do it."
It was Heero's turn to frown. "I'll give you anything I have, Zechs. After what you've given me, how could I refuse you anything?" It was said sincerely. 'I just hope you want what I want,' he added to himself, resisting the urge to blush at what his mind was conjuring.
Zechs opened his light blue eyes to look into dark blue. "I want you to have sex with me, Heero. I want you to take me." Zechs saw the surprise register of Heero's face. "I need you to do it, Heero. I love Noin, and she is my lover in every way I need her to be, but this is about something more than that. I need to surrender the person I used to be, and I need it to be with someone I can trust... you."
Heero was speechless for a moment. He had hoped, but had never imagined that Zechs would want him that way. It was one thing to participate with Noin like last night, but for the blonde to ask for this was unbelievable. Heero searched for any hesitation on his part and found none. He somehow understood what Zechs needed, and he knew that he was the one who could give it to him. In a way, he needed it too, to give the person he used to be to Zechs as well.
"Lie down on the bed," Heero commanded, his tone forceful. It was reminiscent of his Wing days.
Zechs felt his heart leap. Yes, this was what he wanted. He immediately did as Heero instructed, his long blonde hair spread out above him. He was only wearing a pair of black boxers, so his chest was bare, lightly tanned skin beautifully exposed.
Heero walked over and looked down at the other man. Once again he was awed by Zechs' msaculine beauty. He knelt on the bed, straddled Zechs hips, and then lowered himself on top of the blonde's body. Heero was still naked from his shower. Skin met skin, and both of them gasped at the feeling. Heero moved up Zechs' body until their lips met.
It was a kiss of need. It was a kiss of promise. It was a kiss that quickly went out of control. Heero plunged his tongue in the blonde's mouth without any hesitation, savoring the taste of him. Zechs moaned into Heero's mouth as Heero began caressing his chest. Heero was on fire; his bare erection pressed into Zechs' abdomen as his fingers rubbed Zech's nipples, gaining more groans from the blonde. Every sound Zechs made caused Heero's arousal to pulse. He moved his mouth down Zech's body, nipping his neck then licking at the taunt nubs his fingers had been touching mere moments ago.
"Yes, Heero. Yes, please."
Heero pulled away, looking into passion-hazed eyes. "I believe you only climaxed once last night while Noin and I did twice. I think I'll remedy that oversight right now."
Zechs could only moan as Heero pulled off his boxers. As Heero began licking his nipples again, Zechs felt Heero's hand go to his erection. He arched off the bed as soon as the dark-haired boy's hand gripped him, soft caresses and quick jerks alternating to drive the blonde wild.
Heero continued to stroke Zechs as his tongue lathed the other man's chest. Zechs' arousal was hard and wet with need. Heero loved feeling so much strength pulsing in his hand, submitting to him as he touched it commandingly. He pulled away and watched Zechs writhe underneath him, completely caught up in the pleasure his hand was giving the blonde. Heero smiled as their eyes locked, storm blue and ice blue meeting in an acknowledgement of need and desire.
Zechs saw so many things shining in those dark blue eyes as he let that calloused hand continued to bring him closer to climax. When Heero lowered his head once more to teethe his nipples, the combined stimulation took the blonde over the edge. "Yes! Heero! Ahh!" Zechs released, his seed pouring out of him into Heero's hand and onto his own stomach.
Heero took Zechs' lips in a passionate kiss. "Now we're even." He looked into Zechs' eyes for a moment then said in that same commanding voice he'd used before, "Turn over."
Zechs trembled as he complied. He knew what was going to happen, but it didn't decrease his anticipation. This was what he had needed for so long. All his life, he had been in control, forming his own destiny, commanding others. Never had he allowed himself to be conquered. Heero was everything he ever wished he could be. By allowing himself to give into what Heero was about to do to him, he would end his struggle with himself to attain that; he would surrender to what the other boy was and therefore become part of him.
Heero straddled Zechs again and began kissing the other man's neck then shoulders. Slowly, he made his way down the blonde's shoulder blades, alternating between the two. Zechs was moaning uncontrollably by the time Heero reached the small of Zechs' back. He licked in small circles, causing the blonde to cry out in pleasure. Heero smiled. 'You haven't felt anything yet, Zechs.'
"Spread your legs," Heero growled, his erection straining at the foreplay it already had endured.
Zechs did as Heero said, letting the vulnerable feeling overwhelm him as Heero positioned himself between the blonde's legs, pushing them apart even further. It was amazing how in control Heero sounded, even though Zechs knew the other boy had never done this before. It spoke of how well Heero adapted.
Heero spotted a bottle of lotion on the nightstand. He grabbed it quickly, squirting out the substance into his palm to rub over his hands. He had some idea as to what he needed to do. Noin had given him a little preview last night, but he knew he needed to take it slow because it was Zechs' first time. 'Hell, I need to take it slow because it's MY first time,' he thought ruefully. He kneaded Zechs buttocks, eliciting a groan from the other man then ran his slick fingers between the man's cheeks.
Zechs felt waves of pleasure course through him as Heero touched him. The intimate caress was driving him insane. He felt a finger slide across his entrance and tensed slightly in anticipation. He gasped as the finger began to circle, slowly and methodically, before finally slipping inside him.
Heero let his finger enter the blonde and felt himself harden even more. The heat that gripped his finger was incredible. He could imagine it around his throbbing erection, and Heero wanted nothing more than to sheath his length inside.
"Oh, yeah," Zechs moaned as Heero began moving the digit in and out of him. Noin had used her fingers and toys on him before, but this was different; this was Heero.
"Tell me if I'm hurting you, Zechs. I've never done this before, and I don't want to injure you."
Zechs cried out, "Just take me, Heero!"
Heero smiled at the urgency in Zechs' voice. It pleased him to know that he was reducing the Lightning Count to begging. He felt a small nub inside Zechs and touched it with the invading digit.
"Yesss!" Zechs screamed as Heero hit his prostate. "Do that again!"
Heero proceeded to do just that. Before long, Zechs was moaning and pleading with Heero. Heero was so hard he could barely stand it, the blonde man's cries only making him more aroused. "On your knees, Zechs." Heero could wait no longer.
Zechs groaned at the order. Heero understood him completely. He knelt on the bed; his rear raised high, head down in a position of total submission. He felt Heero spread him, and it was like facing every single fear and doubt he'd ever known. Heero's erection nudged his opening then the dark-haired boy thrust into Zechs in one swift motion. Zech cried out at the intrusion, welcoming it like it was his redemption.
Heero stilled for a moment, afraid he'd hurt Zechs, but when the blonde began moving back against him, Heero forgot about everything but the need to fill the man beneath him. He grabbed Zechs' hips and began to pound into him, pulling almost completely out before thrusting back into him almost savagely. He felt himself want to laugh with joy. He had never thought he would feel the same emotions he'd felt during battle, but here with Zechs, taking him like this, Heero felt more alive than if he had been inside Wing. It was a release for him that he didn't even know he needed; it was a reckoning.
Zechs was completely immersed in the feeling of being taken. It was better than he had ever imagined. He had always thought he would feel broken if he ever surrendered any part of himself to someone else, but instead, he felt stronger than he ever had before. He could feel Heero's thrusts become more frantic. It would all be over with too soon, but at least Zechs would now be at peace with his past... and himself.
Heero pulled the other man to sit up, Zech's legs going to either side of Heero's, spreading him even more as Heero deepened his penetration. Zechs screamed out in sheer ecstasy as Heero began hitting his prostate with every thrust. Heero knew he was getting close. He reached around and grasped Zech's erection and began pumping in time with their movements. His body was crying out for release, and Heero would never deny his body what it needed again.
Zechs felt Heero begin stroking him, and it was all it took to send him over the edge. White blinding light filled his vision as he felt his muscles tighten. With a cry of completion, Zechs arched and came harder than he ever had before. "Oh, Heero! Heero!" Pulse after pulse of his passion flowed from him as he felt himself let go of everything he had held onto for so long. He felt Heero tense, and with a growl of possession, the dark-haired boy filled him with his seed, the cleansing of their souls fulfilled.
Heero felt Zechs grip his length inside him as the blonde released. It robbed him of his control at last, and as the heat engulfed him, Heero let all of the emptiness he'd ever felt flow out of him with his essence as it filled the beautiful body he was possessing for the first and last time. "Yesss! Ahhh! Yesss!"
They collapsed together on the bed, Heero still inside Zechs. Both of them were sweaty and sticky, but neither complained because they were content. They had both found an end to the wars they had been fighting with themselves. Finally, they could come home and love the ones waiting for them.
Noin stood at the door, tears flowing down her face at the beauty before her. Her lover and her friend lay intertwined, two men who were the most passionate, giving, and loving people she'd ever known. They had all come full circle, their lives complete. She knew Heero would be leaving, but he would always be there with them in their hearts. She had set out to free him, but had freed all of them in the process. Now that they were whole, they could each begin to live their lives fully.
Noin smiled as Heero moved to lie beside Zechs, wrapping his arms around the blonde. He was facing the doorway and saw her. His face registered panic first until he saw that she was happy. He returned her smile, pulling Zechs closer to him as the other man sighed. Noin nodded in approval before turning to go. She thought about what they had all shared. The art of love was an amazing thing. There were no true teachers, only students at different levels who taught each other. As Noin walked away, she realized that learning the art was what made life worth living. Love was a medium she would gladly work with for the rest of her life. She intended to have a masterpiece on the canvas of her soul before her last breath. With Zechs as her life partner, she had no doubts they would both find painting it to be quite a breathtaking task.
The End
