"So, what are you guys doing this weekend?" Quatre asked the others at his table as he shoved a forkful of grilled chicken and salad into his mouth.

They were sitting in the lunchroom at Preventer HQ, enjoying their midday meal together for once. Duo and Heero sat on one side of the table, Quatre and Trowa on the other, with Wufei and Sally at opposite ends. Duo was practically inhaling a hamburger and fries, Heero was managing to devour chicken stir fry from his plate despite using chopsticks, Trowa was munching enthusiastically on a deli sandwich, Wufei was slurping ramen noodles out of his cup, and Sally was putting away a generously portioned taco salad.

"I think Sally and I are going to the Chinese art exhibit downtown," Wufei replied, looking at Sally to see her nod her head in agreement, too busy enjoying her 'salad' to speak.

"I don't have any plans yet," Trowa said as he added more mayo to his sandwich.

Quatre smiled. "Well, there's this new amphitheater opening, and I thought it would be neat to go and see the first performance there. It's an open stage, so I think the acoustics will be incredible!"

"That sounds good. Count me in," Trowa declared before taking another bite of his lunch.

Quatre turned to look at Duo and Heero. "So, what about you two?"

Duo looked up, seeming hesitant to answer. "Sorry, Q, but I'm leaving tonight after work and will be gone until late Sunday."

Quatre looked over at Heero who was giving Duo a puzzled look. "What about you, Heero?"

Heero pulled his gaze away from his braided partner and focused on the other boy. "I'm going to be out of town all weekend too."

Duo looked over at his blue-eyed roommate. "Out of town? You didn't tell me you were going away?"

Heero turned back to Duo. "I didn't know you were either. When were you planning on telling me?"

Duo frowned. "When we got home tonight. What were you going to do, leave a note?"

Heero looked down, obviously agitated. "I was going to tell you before I left. I just got confirmation of my plans, so I was waiting until I knew for sure."

"Oh, well, that's reassuring," Duo said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

Heero looked up to glare at him. "Well, you weren't so forthcoming with your plans either."

"I wasn't sure if I was going or not," Duo replied, his voice having an edge to it. "Besides, I didn't know I had to clear my excursions with you."

"You don't," Heero grated out, "but it would be nice to know if someone is going to be at the apartment."

"Oh, get over it, Yuy! No one is going to break in and steal your damn laptop!"

Heero looked away, feeling oddly hurt by those words. "I was thinking more about your elaborate stereo system and wall-to-wall CD collection," he said softly.

Duo winced. Sometimes Heero just pushed all of his hot buttons and Duo forgot how sensitive the other boy was underneath the stoic exterior. His anger just deflated at the tone in his partner's voice. "Sorry, buddy," he sighed, trying to make up for it. "It is common courtesy... I should have..."

"No," Heero interrupted, admitting to himself that he'd overreacted, "You're right. I do tend to wait until the last minute to tell you things. I should have..."

"Well, at least you both know now," Quatre intervened, silently wishing that the two boys wouldn't get in these contrary moods. Sometimes, they were the best of friends, but then every once in a while they'd go at it like they couldn't stand each other. "At least you're both going to get away for the weekend." He watched as both boys looked at each other, seeming to want to ask where the other was heading, but obviously not wanting to share the same information.

"So where are you going, Duo?" Trowa asked, completely missing the nervous look Duo shot him.

"Oh, just some place a friend of mine suggested," the braided boy replied, his voice sounding casual even though his body language spoke otherwise.

"What about you, Yuy?" Wufei inquired, drinking the last of the broth from his cup, not even noticing how the dark-haired boy tensed.

Heero looked down at his plate. "Just some place I heard about and thought I'd check out."

Sally looked from Heero to Duo and back; she knew avoidance when she heard it, but if they felt like they couldn't tell them where they were going, it obviously was very personal. It was just humorous to them both being so... cautious. Her eyes caught Quatre's, and they shared a knowing look.

Trowa finished his sandwich and nudged Quatre. "Well, looks like it's just you and me then."

Quatre smiled at the other boy, deciding to let the other matter drop. "Sure does."

Conversation continued around the table, Wufei telling the others about the exhibit and Quatre relaying the information about the new concert hall. During the rest of lunch, Sally watched Duo and Heero, wondering what exactly was going on with them. It wasn't the first time that she'd seen them snap at each other only to apologize moments later. It was almost as if they were... she smiled, not even bothering to continue that thought. If it were true, they would just have to discover it for themselves. Of course, there was now way for her to know that both of the agents in question were silently wishing that they could be spending the weekend together -- hoping that they wouldn't regret their individual plans.

Duo grinned as he made his way to his room for the weekend; he couldn't wait to meet his 'playmate'. He thought about how he'd ended up at this place and was once again astonished that he was about to do this. For the past couple of months, he'd been involved with a discussion group online -- a BDSM chat room. He'd started out as a lurker, learning from the others about the dominant/submissive lifestyle, which ranged from mere role-playing to serious daily living. After a month of observing conversations, he'd managed to conclude that he was a dominant, and after introducing himself to the group formally, he'd found out about the place he was spending his weekend at from one of the other players.

It was supposed to be a good place to begin, the other player had told him, because the resort took applications for each weekend spree, and according to preferences and personality types, matched the participants with their playmates for the duration of their stay. Everyone had to pass a physical no more than a month prior to his or her scheduled stay, and anyone could request the use of protection ahead of time to ensure that consenting parties were matched. Safety was as important as satisfaction to many of the players, and Duo had been one of them; he just hoped that hadn't limited the playmates that had been available for selection for him. He'd been hesitant at first to sign up at all, but had finally decided to give it a try. The only way he was going to truly find out if he was a dom was to have a sub to experiment with, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

His mind flitted back to Heero as he walked and he had to suppress a sigh. They had both danced around the issue of where the other was going, neither one seeming to want to divulge that information, Duo for obvious reasons. Heero had been strangely reticent to disclose his plans, and Duo had just finally wished his partner a pleasant weekend when the other boy had left for his flight a couple hours before Duo. It was probably just some damn computer programming convention that Heero was attending, so there was no reason to even wonder about it, Duo told himself. Still, he couldn't seem to shake his discomfort at the thought of Heero maybe meeting someone, spending time with that person, perhaps even going to bed with a complete stranger instead of... he shook his head. He and Heero were just friends and it wasn't any of his business. With a sigh, Duo forced himself to think about what he was going to be doing instead.

Duo had arrived at the resort around nine that evening, noticing the huge pool and recreational area outside as he'd been taken to a changing area where he could get ready for his introduction. There he'd been given information on his playmate to study before the initial meeting. His playmate's profile had been more than satisfactory, even if it hadn't included gender. He had requested a male, but wouldn't know if that request had been met until he saw the person. He'd only recently discovered that his tastes included both sexes, but he thought a male would be better for this type of encounter. He didn't know why, but it just seemed to make it feel more on the edge. He liked the idea of another male submitting to him. All of his life, he'd had to endure teasing for his hair, had even been accused of wanting to be a girl because of it, and he knew that this was a way for him to overcome all that. He didn't know why his playmate wanted to be a submissive, but he was sure he'd find out through their 'scening' discussions. What he did know was his sub's safe word, the limits on this first encounter, and that this person was only mildly into BDSM.

The safe word had surprised him -- violet; he'd grinned wickedly, thinking that he couldn't wait for his sub to see his eyes. It had given Duo a sense of 'rightness' to the pairing, even though he hadn't even met the person yet. The limits expressed by his sub were rather surprising though for a beginner, as this person was indicated as being. Other than a request for no phallic penetration during the 'welcoming encounter', anything else was apparently allowed. That within itself had helped Duo form his initial conditioning strategy. His sub only being into the discipline as pure 'role-playing' also worked to Duo's advantage; he wanted them to be able to learn from each other, which meant that he wouldn't be in complete control all of the time. Someone who was seriously into bondage might not have allowed that. Duo found himself looking forward to seeing what he and his playmate could discover together. He was sure that it would prove to be interesting. They would discuss in length their plans for the remainder of the weekend after the initial encounter was over, perhaps even joining the others for outdoor activities since it was mid-June.

Duo looked at his attire one more time, smirking at how sensual he looked. He was wearing tight black leather pants, a snug black sleeveless v-neck crop top that revealed his toned stomach, and a pair of black biker boots. His hair was pulled into a tight ponytail, and he had a silver and onyx earring in his right ear, a black choker around his neck, a black leather strap on his left wrist, and a silver and onyx armband on his right bicep. All in all, he looked damn hot, and he knew it. As Duo stopped in front of his suite, he took a deep breath, reaching for what was termed as 'head space', the confident and commanding attitude asserting itself rather easily. Deep blue eyes filled his memory, and he gathered the forbidden emotions he had discovered not too long ago for the person those eyes belonged to, in order to focus on his desires, even as he struggled to keep from thinking about what that other person was doing at the moment. With fiery passion burning in his violet eyes, he slid his pass card through the door and opened it.

It was time to see what was waiting for him.

Heero leaned his forehead against the wall; he was having serious doubts about what he was doing. Standing there, blindfolded, chained, and naked really wasn't how he'd ever imagined himself, even in his wildest dreams. He cursed his curiosity, wishing he had just left the chat room he had stumbled into on the Internet a couple months ago. It had been a BDSM group, and he'd been instantly drawn to what they had been discussing. After a few more times logging on, he'd managed to ask a few questions, learning that he would be a submissive according to his character profile and personality type. It had stunned, yet aroused him, at the same time. For someone not used to expressing himself openly emotionally, let alone sexually, Heero had been intrigued, and had begun gathering as much information as possible. He'd immediately realized that he wasn't a 'hard core' BDSM player; just light role-playing would be enough to probably satisfy his longings. If he enjoyed that, he might consider something more restrictive. At the moment, he was beginning to wonder if even the role-playing wasn't a little too much.

His thoughts then strayed to Duo. He couldn't help but be curious as to where his partner was spending his weekend. Knowing the other boy, it could be anywhere. Heero tried not to sulk, but honestly, Duo was the kind of person that could fit in no matter where he went, and visions of the violet-eyed boy out dancing at various clubs came unbidden to him. It wasn't that he begrudged Duo having a good time. They had been friends for quite some time now, and Heero just wanted to be able to spend time with Duo without feeling out of place. This weekend was the beginning of what he hoped would be 'retraining' of sorts. If nothing else, maybe he would learn how to let go of some of his inhibitions.

Heero had been given a brief profile of his dominant when he'd arrived that evening at his destination. Although it hadn't listed gender, he'd been relieved to find out that his dom wasn't into strict bondage. Even so, being at someone else's mercy was a little... disconcerting. Oh, he knew he could break out of the restraints, knew that he could walk away at any time from the resort, but he really wanted to see if the chat room moderators had been right about him. The only way was to let someone be his dom, and since this place offered the security of checking its applicants very thoroughly, Heero didn't doubt that he was safe. It was just the idea of submitting himself to a stranger -- that was what he was fighting with himself about. The preparation he'd be subjected to hadn't been all that pleasant either, but he knew it had been necessary, just in case his dom was either male or preferred using anal toys. Heero still blushed thinking about it in spite of himself, and that annoyed him. He was inexperienced and that embarrassed him more.

He hadn't specified which gender he preferred. In actuality, he wasn't sure. He'd never had any sexual experiences except for those wrought by his own hand, so he didn't know which would be better for him in this situation. A pair of violet eyes kept flashing in his mind, and he tried to dismiss it, knowing that no matter who showed up, they wouldn't be the person he wished he could be spending the weekend with. Heero suddenly growled in annoyance at that thought and tried to bring his mind back to reality. The sound of the door opening made him jerk his head away from the wall.

It was time to find out what to expect this weekend.

Duo let his eyes roam over the person on display for him. He felt his erection swell at the sight of the firm buttocks, strong shoulders, and short brown hair that greeted him. That his playmate was a male was evident, and Duo couldn't help but smile. This weekend was looking good already. He took in the other boy -- definitely around his own age, if he judged correctly. Chains hung from the ceiling, clasped around the boy's arms, bringing them above his head. His legs were slightly spread, chains also present around his shapely ankles. Duo could see the other boy's butt muscles flexing, his sub obviously aware of his presence. The blindfold was an added touch that Duo was immensely pleased by. He felt himself harden, the offering before him something he just couldn't refuse... even if he'd wanted to.

Heero remained silent, waiting for his dom to give him permission to talk. It had been the last thing the person preparing him had instructed him on before leaving -- he was not allowed to speak until bidden to do so. He felt a mixture of fear and anticipation course through him as the silence continued. What was his dom doing? Did the person find him attractive? Were they considering what to do first? He'd been pretty open about what he'd allow before actually seeing his 'playmate' for the weekend. What was taking so long? Were they thinking about trading him off already? They were allowed to request a different partner if their initial one wasn't satisfactory. Heero felt his heart plummet at that thought. What if he wasn't what his dom had expected? A velvet voice suddenly spoke to him, shattering any other thoughts but those of pleasure. Heero felt himself calm immediately.

"Truly, a sight worth savoring," a masculine voice drawled out. It was seductive, causing Heero to gasp at the surprising familiarity of it, and wonder why he felt so close to this person already. He felt his erection pulse with each word and knew that he would submit to the owner of that voice because he couldn't resist what the tone alone promised -- fulfillment.

Duo saw the tension and didn't want his sub to worry about displeasing him already. "Truly, a sight worth savoring," he purred, letting his voice drop lower than normal, giving it a husky tone that was pure sex.

He heard his sub gasp and felt himself get even harder. Oh yeah, this weekend definitely was going to be something he would remember. He approached his playmate, noticing how the other boy bowed his head, showing his submission. Duo felt gratified that his voice alone had seemed to relieve his sub of the unwanted kind of tension he'd been experiencing. He stopped behind the boy in chains, close enough to feel the other's body heat, yet far enough away to not actually touch. The familiar scent of jasmine filled his senses as he breathed in. He'd been told that his sub would be completely ready for his pleasure, which meant he'd been cleaned inside and out. That information had also played a part in what he had planned. He lifted his hand, letting his fingers brush down the other boy's back, eliciting another in-drawn breath.

"So responsive," Duo whispered while letting his hand move lower, fingers caressing soft cheeks, before reaching around to caress a taunt stomach and rub stiffened nipples. Moans escaped his sub's mouth, and Duo was reminded of something he needed to do before they could continue. He reached into his pocket, pulling out the cock ring he'd carried just in case he had been paired with a male. He let his body mold itself to the restrained one as he reached down and secured the ring around his sub's arousal.

"You may not come until I tell you," he whispered in the other boy's ear, nipping at it before pulling away, which gained him another gasp. Without another word, he dropped to his knees, his erection pulsing inside his leather pants, as he gripped the other boy's buttocks, spreading them apart, fingers teasing.

"Ahhh!" was the breathy cry that met his ears, and Duo smiled before leaning forward.

Heero couldn't believe how arousing that simple touch on his back was. He felt himself harden further as those teasing fingers roamed across his skin. When his dom reached around and began rubbing his nipples, he moaned, loving the feeling of being out of control like this. Suddenly, something metallic was slipped around his erection, and his breath caught -- cock ring.

"You may not come until I tell you."

Those words made him ache for release even more, but his soldier training forced him to follow an order. He felt the rush of air as his dom moved behind him, and suddenly his cheeks were being pulled apart, fingers dipping between his cleft to massage his quivering entrance. He couldn't help but cry out as the sensations washed over him. Bound and blind, all he could do was feel... and the feeling was incredible. He felt breath blow over his opening only a second before something wet made contact.

"Ahhh! Ahhh!" was all he could manage as his mind became aware that it was his dom's tongue, licking him languidly. He'd never felt anything like this before, and every swipe of that wicked tongue just made him yell out more. He had to remind himself that he could not climax, not without his dom's permission. As his tormentor continued his ministrations, Heero mentally thanked the person who had prepared him for making sure he'd used the cleaning apparatus correctly, even though it had made him uncomfortable at the time. That thought, and any other, was forced from his mind as he suddenly felt the slick muscle penetrate him, causing him to thrust backwards, lost in pleasure.

Duo thrust his tongue inside that tight opening, savoring the sounds of ecstasy the other boy was making. Over and over again, he plunged inside, letting his sub know that he was in control, that he could bring him unbelievable pleasure. Duo pulled away slightly, completely content with his sub's reactions thus far. The other boy was trembling, but had held his release just as Duo had ordered; the sight made Duo growl possessively as he stood. Leaning forward, he grabbed hold of the other boy's hips, thrusting against him.

"Do you want to feel me? Do you want me to make you come? Tell me 'yes' if you do," Duo said, letting his breath ghost over the boy's ear as his hands tightened on those slim hips.

'Y-y-yes," came the breathy response.

"Yes? Yes, sir," Duo commanded as he pinched a nipple.

"Ahh! Y-yes, sir!"

"You may not come until I tell you," Duo reminded the boy as he unbuttoned and unzipped his own pants. Not bothering to remove them, he pulled his aching shaft out, hissing when the cool air caressed it. He was already wet, and he smeared the liquid passion over the head before moving forward, his length slipping between those silken cheeks. He began rocking his hips, thrusting his hardness into his sub's cleft. When his thrusts were met, he spread the other boy even more, letting his tip slide against the entrance his tongue had explored just moments earlier. He wasn't going to penetrate, but he sure as hell was going to make the other boy want him to. He'd never felt such need consume him, but he was careful to keep his body in check. It was important to maintain control for the experience to reach its full potential. Wrapping his arms around his sub, he let one hand go to a nipple while the other headed towards the boy's awaiting cock.

Heero tensed a little when he felt his dom's erection press against his opening, but as soon as he felt a hand on his shaft, all thoughts of resistance simply faded away. He thrust back, groaning at the feeling of the other male's tip rubbing against him so intimately. Part of him wished he hadn't prohibited phallic penetration, but he reminded himself that there would be time for it later, if his dom so desired, and Heero desperately hoped his dom did. He was definitely enjoying what was happening. The feeling of the hot hard flesh sliding between his checks, rubbing against his entrance, was enough to harden him almost painfully without the added sensations of his nipple being stimulated, and his shaft being pumped. He didn't know how much more he could take.

"Do you want to come?" his dom's sensual voice growled out. "Tell me... beg me... and I might let you."

"Please, sir!" Heero cried out as his dom began kissing his neck. It was just too much. The control on his emotions snapped and he began begging mindlessly, "Please... please... please..."

Duo was so close. The body against him was just so perfect, and the impassioned cries of his sub sent delicious shivers of pleasure through him. The soft skin massaged his length, his head teased by the tantalizing opening, his passion leaking from him adding to the sweat of their bodies as they moved together. It didn't take long for him to reach the end of his control.

"Do you want to come?" Duo managed to ground out, forcing his voice to remain steady. "Tell me... beg me... and I might let you." He knew for damn sure he was getting ready to, and he wanted the other boy to climax as well, but keeping his sub on the edge was what made the experience so good.

"Please, sir!" the boy pleaded, his voice strangely accented in a way that was familiar, and Duo felt the last of his restraint ripped away as "Please... please... please..." continued to pour from those begging lips.

Duo increased the pace of his stokes on the cock in his hand, thrusting in counterpoint, giving himself over to it. He buried his face in the boy's shoulder, relishing that scent of jasmine again, before raising his head to whisper roughly, right before his orgasm claimed him, "Come."

Heero heard the command and felt his body jerk with it. The pressure that had been building in his groin escalated to overwhelming proportions, and with a yell of completion, he tensed and spilled himself all over his dom's hand, his release pushing past the confining ring. He heard that silken voice from behind him shout out right before he felt the warmth of the other male's seed pulse out of the tip pressed against his entrance, bathing him in even more feeling. Stream after stream was coaxed from his own shaft by that pumping hand until Heero finally collapsed back against his playmate -- completely spent and completely content. It was the most intense experience of his life.

Duo could feel when the other boy surrendered, and it was a beautiful thing. The satisfaction of helping someone give into pleasure took Duo over the edge. He pressed himself tightly against the other boy's trembling body, his essence releasing between gripping cheeks as Duo's voice cried out in unrestrained bliss. His hand continued drawing out all of his sub's passion until he felt the boy go limp in his arms. With a sated smile, Duo hugged his playmate tightly; relishing the way the boy seemed to snuggle against him. Reaching up, he began unclasping the restraints, and before long, eased his sub onto the floor with him, where they sat, regaining their senses after sharing such an incredible encounter.

Heero felt his dom begin unchaining him and sighed. Within minutes, he found himself sitting on the floor, wrapped in those strong arms. It felt so good. He couldn't believe that he had just let go like that, but he wouldn't have changed it for anything. His dom obviously knew what he was doing.

"Welcome to a new world that you and I can create together," that voice whispered, caressing him more intimately than anything else had so far, and he couldn't help the aftershock of pleasure that shook him as that voice added, "If you so desire, I would like you to remain mine for our time here at this place."

Heero nodded, his heart leaping because he had pleased his dom. "Yes, sir. Whatever you want."

"Then take off your mask so I may see your eyes."

Heero moved away from the warmth of those arms reluctantly, but obeyed. He got up onto his knees, turning around before lifting the blindfold completely off. It took him a moment of blinking to adjust to the light again, but once he did, the sight of his dom completely stunned him. All he could do was stare from where he remained kneeling on the floor, as their identities were finally revealed.

Heero's heart skipped a beat. Violet...

Duo tucked himself back into his pants and stood. He wanted to be in a position of authority when his sub saw him for the first time. He watched in rapt fascination as the blindfold was carefully removed, and then gasped when it revealed a familiar face.

Blue eyes looked up at him in shock, fear... and longing? Duo took in the boy still on his knees in front of him. This was like getting his most desired fantasy. He couldn't believe it was real. He felt like he'd stepped into the twilight zone or something. Somehow, he managed to keep his confident façade, not letting his sub see that he was as stunned as the dark-haired boy was. Making a quick decision, he stepped forward, reaching a hand down to stroke a finger over the other boy's slack jaw.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet face to face. You will address me as 'sir' or 'master'. I will call you 'koi'."

Part 2

Heero looked at the other boy like he'd lost his mind. Why was he speaking to him like they didn't know each other? They were partners, for goodness sakes! He started to ask Duo what the hell was going on when he saw a flash of something in the those violet eyes -- a challenge? He studied the other boy for a moment, finally deciding that Duo was daring him to do this. Heero didn't know what to think. He'd recently admitted to himself that he was attracted to his roommate, but had not pursued it because he'd figured Duo would have said something if he was interested. Well, Duo seemed interested now...

"You really want to do this... master?" Heero asked, his voice carrying its own challenge.

Duo could see a hint of desire in those beautiful blue depths gazing back at him so intently. He wanted nothing more than to pull Heero into his arms and take him right there on the living room floor. The only thing that held him back was that the other boy had come to this place for a specific reason, and before anything more personal could take place, Duo needed to meet the needs Heero was seeking to fulfill on a purely psychological level. If they could become intimate like this, Duo might have hope for more after they went home. He let his hand slide down Heero's face to cup his chin gently yet firmly.

"You are more than I ever expected, koi," Duo replied evenly, "I'd really like to explore this with you."

Heero closed his eyes, nodding. "Then I am yours for the weekend, master."

Duo smiled. "Good. I think a shower is in order before we go any further. It's getting late, and I want to have a little more playtime before going to bed."

Duo reached down and pulled Heero to his feet. As they made their way to the bathroom, the dark-haired boy wondered just what his dom had planned for him.

Duo looked around the spacious bathroom, taking in the amenities with wicked glee. There was a huge whirlpool tub, a glass-door cascading shower, a large mirrored vanity, and two porcelain toilets with several cleaning apparatus attachments. He was very impressed indeed and couldn't wait to see the play area. His playmate had been secured in the front room for their meeting, but the rest of their 'playtime' would be spent in the bedroom, where he didn't doubt were many implements of pleasure. Duo smiled as his hand reached down to adjust himself, his erection already returning due to his observations.

Heero had already visited this room; he blushed remembering his 'preparation' that had taken place earlier. He looked longingly at the whirlpool tub that he seriously hoped would be put to use; he was slightly disappointed when the longhaired boy headed for the shower instead. He followed obediently, wondering what the braided baka -- no, he couldn't refer to him like that or he might let it slip and that would be very bad -- was going to do. He sighed to himself, mentally repeating 'master, master, master'.

Duo turned to face his sub, smiling as he caught the look of concentration on the other boy's face. He'd never seen Heero so off-center before, and it was unbelievably arousing. He could see Heero's erection firming again, indicating his sub was just as excited about the situation as he was. Duo decided to get down to serious business. He needed to tell Heero what he expected. They would talk more in-depth in the morning, but for what he had planned, the other boy needed to understand the basics now.

"As my submissive, it will be your mission to service me emotionally, physically and sexually. I will in turn provide you with the proper reward for your actions, therefore satisfying your needs. Understood?" When Heero nodded, Duo decided to proceed. "All right then. On your knees," he commanded, watching as Heero bristled for a split second before moving to obey. He had used the 'M--word' in his conditioning on purpose, knowing it would provide his sub with a familiar objective. Of course, those soldier instincts would be good in some ways and bad in others. Although Heero would follow orders, doing so to receive pleasure might prove to be a difficult concept at first. Duo needed to give the other boy plenty of positive feedback to get him used to feeling like he deserved gratification. "Good. Now crawl to me, koi."

Heero's first instinct was to resist, but then he reminded himself that this person was his master. He felt his face flame red but complied with the command, the term 'mission' easing him into a mindset that would help him do whatever the other boy demanded. He trusted Duo implicitly, so he wasn't afraid; he just wasn't used to following orders of this kind. He crossed the short distance on his knees, and then reclined on his haunches, eyes seeking the approval he hoped was in those intense violet eyes. He'd never realized how much he longed for someone else's acceptance -- Duo's acceptance -- until that moment.

Duo smiled, extending his hand to ruffle that chaotic brown mess that was his sub's hair. It was soft, even if it was willful. 'Much like my sub,' Duo thought as he saw the warring emotions filling the blue eyes gazing up at him. "Very good. You've pleased me with your obedience."

Heero felt his face flush again. He wasn't used to praise, and it embarrassed him to be so elated by it. The soldier in his mind was satisfied to have accomplished a portion of his 'mission', but it was the boy that still hid inside that wanted to please Duo because he enjoyed it. It was the first time that both of them seemed to be in agreement over Heero's actions. "Thank you, Du--... master."

Duo felt immense pride in how Heero was responding. He'd been right about his sub's nature so far and could only hope he was right about how Heero was going to continue to react to him. He smirked down at the other boy and said in a voice dripping with sensuality, "Now undress me."

Heero noticed the wicked gleam in those familiar eyes. He felt his heart rate increase as he considered how to carry out his master's request. He reached for the button on those tight leather pants, pausing as his fingers brushed the hardness beneath the thin material, his own erection pulsing in answer. Keeping his eyes locked with Duo's, he freed the button before grasping the zipper.

"Be careful with that," Duo admonished, reminding Heero that he didn't have on any underwear.

Heero couldn't help but smirk. "Yes, master." He pulled the waist of the pants away from Duo's quivering stomach, slipping his hand inside to cup his master's arousal protectively. His own erection jumped at the throaty moan that escaped the other boy's lips. Feeling safe to proceed, he let the zipper rasp down slowly, his hand flexing around the turgid flesh beneath it.

Duo groaned, forcing his hips to not thrust into his sub's teasing hand. He couldn't believe how good it felt. For the past few months, he'd fantasized about those strong fingers gliding over his skin, burying themselves in his hair, stroking his length, and thrusting into his body; he certainly was not disappointed with the reality of it so far.

Heero removed his hand from inside his master's pants, tugging the garment down the other boy's thighs. He waited for Duo to lift one foot then the other to remove his boots. Once socks were gone, Heero slid the pants completely off, baring his master except for the short black shirt gracing his torso. He looked at the other boy, asking silently for permission to continue.

"You may stand to complete my instructions," Duo replied. He was amazed that he could read Heero so well so soon. It just showed him how right this was for them.

Heero got to his feet, sliding his hands under the soft cloth, rubbing over hardened nipples. A low growl rumbled in that firm chest, and Heero stopped, his eyes seeking those of his master. Duo was only an inch taller than him, but after being on his knees before him, Heero felt like that inch was an intimidating one.

"Enough teasing, koi," Duo said, his silken voice husky from his sub's ministrations.

Heero nodded, grabbing the hem of the shirt and pulling it over the other boy's head quickly. He wanted to touch his master, wanted to feel that smooth skin the way he'd imagined doing. He was disappointed when Duo stepped away from him, entering the shower. Heero took in the firm roundness of his master's buttocks, the smoothness of his back, the strength of his shoulders; Duo truly was a sight to behold.

Duo turned on the water, adjusting the temperature before switching to spray. He faced the other boy, completely naked, and severely aroused. "Now, wash me."

Heero swallowed, his eyes roaming over the other boy. Slowly he approached, grabbing the bottle of body wash before entering the shower. Flipping open the cap, he smelled the exotic fragrance of passion fruit. Pouring some into his palm, he began rubbing his hands together to create a foamy lather. His eyes never left those of his master as he reached forward and began massaging Duo's chest.

Duo couldn't help the moan that escaped his lips when his sub's hands touched him. Callused fingers stroked over his smooth skin, swirling around his nipples before sliding down to his stomach. He fought to maintain his control. He had to direct their passion, and becoming putty in Heero's hands would not help him in that regard. Forcing himself to regain his discipline, he pushed on his playmate's shoulders, indicating what he wanted the other boy to do.

Heero knelt in response to his master's urging, finding himself face to cock with the other boy. He looked up, wondering if Duo would like him to... he was surprised by what he found himself wanting to do, but then reminded himself that this was his mission -- to please his master. He subconsciously licked his lips.

"Wash me first," Duo replied, noticing Heero's reaction, "If you please me, I may reward you with letting you have what you seem to want."

Heero felt his face redden again at Duo's words, but obeyed; letting his hands move to Duo's legs to continue with lathering his master. Before he could reach for the longhaired boy's arousal though, Duo turned around, offering the back of his body for Heero's attentions. Heero let his soapy hands massage the backs of strong calves and thighs, moving towards the firm cheeks he'd admired as Duo had gotten into the shower. Curious fingers traced Duo's cleft, eliciting a loud moan. Heero felt his own arousal twitch in sympathy. He slid those fingers between the soft hemispheres, feeling his master's body tremble.

"Clean me," Duo ordered, struggling with keeping his voice steady. Heero's gentle caresses were driving him crazy. Who would have ever thought those purposeful hands could be so teasing?

Heero spread Duo's cheeks, placing his finger at the other boy's quivering entrance. He rubbed in circles, thinking about what he would like if the roles were reversed. Duo's hips thrust back, seeking more pressure, and Heero let the tip of his questing digit slip inside him. It was warm and tight... and so enticing. He wondered if Duo ever let anyone take him. He knew that even if his master did, Duo would still be the dominant one. He couldn't believe how much that aroused him. He'd never seen Duo in this kind of commanding position before, and he felt rather disappointed in himself that he'd never seen the personality traits in the other boy for what they were. His thoughts returned to the task at hand, and he realized that his finger was thrusting in and out of Duo's body rhythmically just as his master's commanding voice spoke.

"Enough. Stand and finish my back, and then wash my hair," Duo instructed, already at the edge of his control from Heero's touches. He couldn't believe how close he was. He'd never actually had sex with another guy, although he'd experimented when he'd realized his preferences. He'd met guys in a couple of clubs, giving head and hand jobs, even allowing them to penetrate him with their fingers, but nothing more. He was glad that he'd waited to experience this level of intimacy. Duo had a feeling that before the weekend was over, he'd be giving himself to Heero just as Heero would give himself to him.

Heero moved to do as Duo bade him. He ran his hands over muscled shoulders before using the removable showerhead attachment to rinse all of the soap away. Duo sighed in pleasure, and Heero couldn't help the way his heart and cock leapt at the sound. He quickly pulled the tie from his master's hair, letting the chestnut mane cascade down Duo's back.

"Beautiful," he whispered to himself.

Duo closed his eyes, the softly spoken words going straight to his heart. How many times had he wished that Heero felt that way about him? He almost purred in contentment as gentle hands began wetting his hair. It was so soothing to have someone do this for him, and he felt completely at ease. "Arigato, koi."

Heero was elated with the acknowledgment, even if he hadn't meant for Duo to actually hear him speak. He lathered the silken strands, beginning with the crown, working his way down to the ends, and losing himself in the feel of it as the soft exclamations of his master's voice brought him satisfaction. He couldn't have told anyone how long he washed Duo's hair, but he finally realized it was thoroughly clean, and began rinsing it. He looked around for conditioner, knowing Duo HAD to have it or tangles would develop. The little bottle provided by their retreat was not going to be enough. There had barely been enough shampoo. He knew Duo must have brought his own.

"Du--... Master, would you like for me to get your conditioner for you?"

Duo looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Yes. My bags are already in the bedroom." He was surprised that Heero had noticed. He watched as his naked playmate made his way out of the bathroom. Leaning back, he let the water flow over him, finishing the rinsing since Heero still had to apply conditioner, and he didn't know how much more he could stand of those hands on him without getting some relief. He heard Heero enter the bathroom again moments later; his face was redder than it had been so far.

"What it is, koi?" Duo asked, shocked to see Heero Yuy so embarrassed.

Heero got back into the shower. "I saw the... play area," he mumbled.

Duo threw his head back and laughed, unable to keep the mirth inside at the other boy's discomfort. Still snickering, he turned back around, allowing Heero to finish his task. Once the smooth substance that smelled like coconut was all through those chestnut waves, Duo faced the other boy again.

"We have to wait for a couple of minutes," he explained with a smirk. "Would you like your reward for being good?"

Heero's erection bobbed up and down in answer, gaining another chuckle from his master. The Japanese boy's face reddened again, but he met the amused violet gaze unflinchingly. "Yes, master. I would like that very much."

Duo smiled. He'd never expected Heero to be so good at this. "Kneel," he commanded, and was once again satisfied as Heero did just that, looking up at his master's face for further instructions.

"Very good, koi. Now, touch me."

Heero reached out and curled his hand around the shaft in front of him. He didn't do any more, knowing Duo would direct him. He was amazed at how quickly he'd adapted to this way of thinking. He watched as a drop of his master's essence leaked from the tip of the member he was holding. He longed to swipe his tongue over it, taste it...

"Lick me."

Duo was surprised when Heero's eyes lit up at that command. If he hadn't seen it himself, he'd never believed that Heero Yuy would be so eager to lick his cock, but the proof was before him, as his sub leaned forward, flicking his tongue over the head of Duo's erection like a contented cat. Duo cried out at the contact, knowing it wasn't going to take much longer before he was climaxing, and if he wanted to enjoy it fully, he needed to move this along.

"Suck me. Take me in your mouth and suck my cock," he said, almost desperately.

Heero groaned as he enveloped his master's arousal, letting his tongue slide over the sensitive head. The taste of Duo's pre-ejaculate was interesting -- a little bitter, salty, and something that he could tell was just Duo -- and he quickly decided that he didn't mind it at all. As the throbbing flesh filled his mouth, he couldn't get over how velvet soft the skin was in contrast to how hard his master's cock was. He lapped at it eagerly, moving his mouth up and down to massage it between his lips. His tongue slid across the slit alternately, and from the sounds Duo was making, it must have felt good. He wondered how he could pleasure the other boy even more, and with a sudden flash of inspiration, reached with his other hand to fondle Duo's balls. The sac was heavy with need, and Heero rolled the twin globes between his fingers, spreading them apart a little only to then massage them against each other. His finger then slid a little lower, fingering the satiny area just behind Duo's pouch. He made a mental note to explore that area if he ever got the chance... with his tongue.

"Oh yeah!" Duo yelled, completely surprised by Heero's added stimulation. He felt his groin tighten, his balls contracting in order to release, and thrust himself into Heero's mouth with abandon, allowing the sensations to overwhelm him. "Oh yeah... oh yeah!" Duo's orgasm ripped through him, sending him into euphoria. He'd never had someone go down on him so willingly, and Heero's inexperienced touches just set him on fire. He felt his seed leave his body, flowing into Heero's mouth as the dark-haired boy struggled to swallow it.

Heero focused on not choking. He hadn't expected so much of his master's semen to be released, but he tried to take it all, his throat muscles moving as quickly as possible. He could feel the hard flesh shuddering in his mouth, and it sent white-hot sparks of pleasure through him. He wanted to come so badly, but he had to remind himself that this was for Duo -- for his master -- and he wasn't allowed to come without his master's consent. When he felt the other boy's arousal soften, he gave it a parting lick and sat back on his heels, giving his master a hopeful look.

Duo took in a couple of calming breaths, his hand stroking Heero's hair softly. When he looked down, he saw his sub's anxious blue eyes looking at him, needing to be reassured that he had done well. Duo smiled. "Very good, koi. It seems you have skills I was previously unaware of." His smile turned into a wicked grin as he watched his playmate's face redden again.

Heero felt himself flush, but his heart jumped at the praise. He liked it when he excelled at something, and since this was all new to him, it was a great compliment to his abilities to have learned how to do well in such a short amount of time. His embarrassment turned into pride, and he gave his master a soft smile.

Duo quickly rinsed the conditioner out before looking down at the other boy. "Now, finish cleaning yourself, and then meet me in the bedroom," he instructed before stepping past his sub. He ignored the slightly disappointed look Heero gave him as he headed for the door, stopping briefly to turn and remind him, "And remember: you may not come."

Heero watched over his shoulder as Duo left the room. He felt a little... hurt. It wasn't so much that Duo hadn't let him come; it was not having Duo bathe him. Didn't Duo want to touch him? His mind went back to the welcoming encounter, but then he reminded himself that it had been before Duo knew who he was, so maybe that didn't count. Maybe Duo didn't really want him but was getting back at him by doing this? His hurt turned into anger as he stood, letting the water run over him. Wasn't this supposed to be pleasurable for both parties? When he'd read the information online, it had stated that only master/slave relationships were sometimes so one-sided. Even though he'd called Duo 'master', it didn't make him a slave. He had willingly used that term to show respect and submission. Now... now, he didn't know if he wanted to give that to his dom. With an angry growl, Heero quickly washed himself, being careful around his pulsing length, and hurriedly rinsed off. If Duo wanted it this way, then that was just fine. He'd play Duo's way, but he wouldn't be so enthusiastic about it, mission or not.

Duo looked at the play area. There were hanging handcuffs and chains, leather-padded seats and benches, and two tables of goodies. One table had different flavored lubricants, vibrators, and dildos; the other one had all kinds of whips, tails, paddles, feathers, and balls. No wonder Heero had been embarrassed! Duo grinned, pleased at the choices. As he looked at a few of the items, inspecting a couple of the unfamiliar pieces of equipment to see how they would be used in play, he got a couple of ideas for how they would proceed as soon as Heero was done with his shower. He'd thought about giving his sub release, stroking that beautiful body with sudsy hands the way Heero had done his, but Duo had decided at the last minute to end their 'welcome' session with something a little more... interesting.

He wasn't into the whole 'pain equals pleasure' aspect of the discipline as much as the 'control and submission' aspect. For him, it was the psychological ramifications of trusting someone with your body the way Heero was with him that had drawn him to the discipline in the first place. He wanted Heero to enjoy this just as much as he did and knew that making the other boy wait a little longer for release this time would increase the intensity of his orgasm. That was his role in their play -- to ensure his sub's pleasure as he sought his own. Duo gained intensity through seeing his sub's obedience, and his sub gained it through offering it. It was a good balance that had to be maintained in order for it to work properly. Duo hoped they could do that.

Duo heard the water shut off some minutes later and turned to see Heero walk into the bedroom. They were both still naked, and Duo had already towel-dried his own mass of chestnut while waiting for Heero to finish. Heero wouldn't meet Duo's eyes, and the longhaired boy wondered why. He waited, taking in the tense movements of his sub as Heero walked over to him, eyes downcast. When Heero reached Duo, he stopped and dropped to his knees, without ever looking up. Duo could see the tightness of Heero's jaw and felt his heart lurch a little. What had happened?

"What's wrong, koi?" Duo asked, trying to gauge his sub's reaction.

There was silence for a moment before Heero answered in a clipped voice, "Nothing... sir."

The honorary title was like a slap in the face and Duo actually flinched. It was obvious that his sub was not happy. Heero had been using 'master' fairly easily. Reverting to 'sir' was Heero's way of telling his dom that he wasn't quite as willing as before, and Duo didn't like it one bit. His anger flared, and he had to hold himself back from exhibiting it. Although he was in charge and could demand answers from the other boy, he needed to regain control of the situation in a calm way, or he could ruin the relationship. What the hell had transpired in the shower? Everything had been going so well. Heero had washed him, and then pleasured him. His sub had seemed so eager, and Duo had rewarded him for his efforts with allowing him to... his mind suddenly fit the pieces together, and he felt his anger dissipate a little. Heero was new to this after all.

"Koi, are you angry with me because I didn't give you release?" he asked. Heero shook his head, and Duo frowned in confusion. He'd been sure that was what had his playmate so upset, but the response told him that something else was going on here. The fact that Heero wouldn't meet his eyes told him the level of the other boy's anger, but what could Heero have gotten upset over if not being allowed to come? Duo wondered if Heero truly understood what they were attempting to do together. Apparently, he needed to have a little psychology lesson with his sub before doing anything else.

"What is the primary function of a submissive?" Duo questioned suddenly.

Heero kept his eyes downcast. "To please and service his dominant. To gain pleasure from obeying."

Duo nodded. "That's right, and it's the dominant's right to punish or reward his submissive as he sees fit, is it not?" He waited patiently, wanting Heero to work it out.

Heero knew it was true. Duo had the right to choose how he rewarded him. He just didn't understand why Duo had refused to finish the shower with him. "Yes, sir."

"And how did I reward you for your obedience?"

Heero looked back up at the other boy, trying not to glare at him. He knew what Duo was trying to say. Duo had given him the reward of letting him pleasure him, and Heero had enjoyed it, but the dark-haired boy had only wanted Duo to stay with him, to bathe him, to show him that Duo wanted to give him pleasure as much as he received it. He'd wanted Duo to touch him again.

"You let me service you, sir," he finally replied evenly. He was still hurt and couldn't help it.

Duo could tell that his sub still didn't get it. All of his anger faded as he saw the hurt look in Heero's eyes. What had he done to put it there? He didn't understand what Heero could be thinking, but he knew that he needed to diffuse this situation before it damaged this new aspect of their relationship. Duo reached out and cupped Heero's cheek, letting his thumb brush it gently.

"What is the primary function of a dominant?"

Heero forced himself not to jerk away from the touch as he answered. "To derive pleasure from his submissive. To maintain control during play in order to..."

"No."

Heero blinked. "What do mean 'no'... sir?"

Duo shook his head. "My primary goal is to create an illusion of control in order to allow my submissive to surrender to his own desires. Sometimes that means denying my submissive pleasure for the moment so that the tension builds to a level that will make the subsequent orgasm so intense it exceeds all his expectations. My submissive's primary goal is to show his trust in me by obeying my commands, which serve to please me and excite him. I gain my complete pleasure from seeing him experience his."

Heero just stared at Duo. He'd never heard it explained like that before. He was confused. "I... I don't understand... m-master..."

Duo slid his fingers into Heero's hair gently. "Do you trust me, koi?"

Blue eyes flashed with a hint of the anger from before but then calmed. "Yes... master."

"Good," Duo replied, "then tell me what you're upset about."

Heero just looked down again. "I--I can't."

Duo sighed. He didn't want it to be this way. "Then I'm going to give you a choice. You can either stroke yourself to completion and we'll go to bed without further play, or you can submit yourself to me for punishment and we will continue with my plans after that punishment is rendered. Which will it be?"

"Punishment?" Heero asked incredulously.

"You refused to tell me what was wrong, and even though I gave you another chance to do so, you didn't take it. You have to be punished for disobeying me if you want to go on with the scening we've begun."

Heero didn't know what to do. On one hand, he could simply take care of his needs and end their playtime. On the other, if he allowed Duo to punish him, they could continue with whatever Duo had planned, which might lead to something even more pleasurable for him -- if he trusted Duo. He suddenly realized that the shower's purpose had been to arouse him further for whatever Duo had decided for them to do. Maybe his dom had been wary of staying to bathe him for fear that Heero would become over-stimulated, forcing Duo to allow release too early in their play time together. It made sense, and Heero knew he had jumped to conclusions without thinking it through. He'd let his own insecurities cloud his judgment. Even though Duo was his dom right now, Heero knew that Duo cared about him and would never hurt his feelings on purpose. Heero also knew that if he stroked himself now, it would be empty, and all that Duo had planned for them would be ruined. If he submitted to Duo, he'd be punished, but he would then get to experience more pleasure. There really was only one choice he could make.

Part 3

"I'll submit to punishment, master. I'm sorry," Heero said softly, lowering his head.

Duo smiled, pleased with Heero's decision. He reached down to pull the other boy to his feet, leaning in to place a soft kiss on Heero's startled lips. "I'm proud of you. I promise to not really harm you, but you need to know that for every action there are consequences."

Heero nodded in understanding as he was led to one of the benches. He was instructed to straddle it near the back edge and soon found himself pressed forward, his chest lying against the leather padded surface. His arms were guided under it to grab what felt like padded handgrips. His wrists were then secured with silken scarves beneath. Heero felt the bench tilt up suddenly in back, his ass raised slightly higher. He slid forward and gasped as his half-hard erection slipped into a leather-encased opening in the bench, something that felt like latex covering his shaft. His feet were then placed in stirrups, the position opening him completely, and he suddenly realized the grips were there for him to maintain his balance.

Duo stood back and looked at his sub, his cock becoming unbelievably hard at the sight. Bound and open to him, Heero looked exquisite. The violet-eyed boy thought about foregoing the punishment for a moment but then firmed his resolve; Heero needed to understand, and this would help. He walked over to one of the tables he'd previewed earlier and picked up a riding crop before returning to his playmate. Positioning himself behind the other boy, he mentally prepared himself for what he had to do.

"What were you thinking in the shower, koi? I want you to tell me everything that went through your mind. I want to know each angry thought you had."

Heero gripped the bars. He hadn't expected to have to say anymore about that. Why wasn't Duo just punishing him and getting it over with? "I--I don't remember," he said, trying to sound convincing.

Duo frowned. "I don't like it when you lie to me, koi. I want you to tell me. For each admission, I will give you one lash. For each evasion, you will receive two."

Heero blanched. "I--I'm sorry, master. I didn't mean to..."

"Lie?" Duo asked, his voice holding a threatening tone. "Maybe a couple of lashes will remind you to think before you speak," he said as he raised the riding crop and let it make contact in swift strokes, one to each cheek.

"Ahhh!" Heero cried out as the blows fell. It didn't really hurt that much, just a stinging sensation actually, but the implications shamed him. "I'm sorry!"

"Sorry isn't good enough, koi. Tell me what you were thinking."

Heero took calming breaths, trying to regain control. He felt the rush of air and knew Duo was getting ready to deliver another blow, and he decided that one was better than two. "I was hurt because you didn't stay and wash me like I had you," he finally admitted, his face flaming in embarrassment, as he received another lash with the crop that made his breath hiss out.

"Go on."

Heero hesitated. "That--that was pretty much it... Ahh!" he yelled as another two blows landed on his reddening backside. His hands gripped the bars underneath the bench as he tried to understand why this was affecting him so much.

"Tell me all of it," Duo commanded, knowing there was more.

"I--I felt like you had used me, and--and it made me angry," the dark-haired boy said, bracing himself for the next lash that hit him. His ass was beginning to burn from the contact, his hands were cramping from holding onto the grips so hard, and his neck and shoulders were aching from his head jerking. He felt the pain in his body mirror the pain in his heart, and he suddenly understood why Duo was doing this.

"And?"

Heero felt the tears coming to his eyes, and tried to hold them off, but he couldn't as the next words came out of his mouth. "And it made me not want to submit to you because I felt like you really didn't care about me. I felt like you didn't want to touch me. E-even though you'd touched me before, I was a-afraid that you didn't want to now that you knew who I was." He waited for the crop to descend, but only felt a soft hand on his sensitized skin. In a way, it hurt worse than the blows had because he knew Duo had a right to be angry with him, and instead of exacting justice, he was showing him mercy. He let the tears escape as he tried to get his wayward emotions back under control.

Duo listened to the other boy finally admit to his hurt feelings and the reasons for them. He tossed the crop aside, smoothing over the blushed cheeks. He hadn't really hurt Heero physically. Each lash was only to remind him that each thought had been wrong. He could see Heero's tears but didn't say anything, knowing that the very act of crying was enough. Duo walked over to the other table and selected a bottle. Once by his sub's side again, he poured some of the contents into his hand, smiling at the refreshing fragrance before he began rubbing it on Heero's chastised skin.

"Nnn..." Heero moaned as something cool and soothing was massaged into his stinging flesh. He laid his head down on the bench, letting the soft caresses ease the brunt of his punishment. Surprisingly, he felt better not having to keep those feelings locked inside. Duo had been right in getting him to let it go.

Duo moved away again, smirking as his eyes landed on a couple more items. Looking back over at the boy on the bench, he decided to end their welcoming on a good note. Taking the objects, he returned to stand behind Heero again.

"You took your punishment well, koi. I'm very proud of you for enduring it," he said softly, rubbing over Heero's cheeks again, eliciting a low groan. His fingers then slid between, one circling Heero's entrance teasingly. "I think it's time to reward you for your obedience."

Heero's breath caught at the touch. He was disappointed when the fingers were removed, but moaned in pleasure when they returned, slick with something that smelled like wild cherries. "Please, master."

Duo smiled. This was more like it. He moved closer to the other boy, letting his finger dip inside the tightening passage. Heero's moans of pleasure went straight to his groin, and he slid that finger deeper into the other boy's body, moving in tiny circles to loosen him. It didn't take long for him to be able to slip in another finger, spreading the two apart, twisting them as he searched for the spot inside Heero that would make the boy beg.

"Ahhh! Nnnn!" alerted him that he had found it, and Duo continued to stroke over it, using those fingers to give his sub the pleasure the other boy had desired.

Heero couldn't believe how good it felt to have Duo's fingers inside him. That place... that place the other boy was touching was driving him crazy. His cock was so hard, expanding to fill whatever was holding it below the bench. Even though he was still restrained by the cock ring, he felt himself getting close. He used the grips to shove himself back against the intrusion, causing slight friction on his shaft as he moved.

Duo's erection was heavy with need just from the simple foreplay. He knew Heero was quickly losing control, and he still wanted to do something else before allowing the other boy release. He decided to see if his sub had learned his lesson. Pulling his hand away from its play, he walked around to the front of the bench, noting that Heero was just at the right level. Duo smiled as he encountered confused but passion-filled blue.

"I want you to suck me again," he ordered, pleased when he saw acceptance in those eyes immediately.

Heero nodded. Although he was frustrated at having his own pleasure placed on hold, he knew that Duo wouldn't leave him wanting this time. He watched as his dom moved closer, Duo placing his dripping cock against Heero's lips. Heero opened his mouth, licking the proffered member before using the grips to give himself a little leverage to move forward, engulfing Duo in wet warmth.

"Oh, like that!" Duo yelled out, the sensation threatening to make his knees buckle. He placed his hands on the edge of the bench, thrusting his hips forward to admit more of his shaft into that delightful haven.

Heero could tell it wouldn't take long for his master to come. He swirled his tongue around the tip, using his lips to glide over the silken flesh as Duo pumped into him. He was enjoying it immensely when his world suddenly flipped on its axis. Vibration around his own erection made him pull back violently.

Duo was lost in the feeling of Heero's mouth around him. He buried himself over and over again, loving how that wicked tongue kept lapping his tip. His hands slipped on the leather of the bench, and he felt a switch he noticed during his previous inspection flip under his left forefinger. He was surprised when Heero suddenly jerked away, a look between pain and bliss on his face.

"Violet!"

That reaction alone told the longhaired boy that something was happening that he was unaware of. He felt for the switch he'd tripped, clicking it back into place. Heero collapsed back down onto the bench, panting heavily.

"Heero?" Duo asked, concerned, as he reached out to lay a hand on the other boy's shoulder hesitantly.

Heero just tried to breathe. What he had felt had been so intense that it had scared him. "It--it was like something was... sucking me... and--and stroking me... below..." he gasped out.

Duo raised an eyebrow and then knelt to get a look at what the dark-haired boy was talking about. Upon inspection, he saw the contraption that apparently was surrounding Heero's shaft. In all honesty, it looked like some kind of hydraulic pump. He reached up and flipped that switch again, watching as the metal sheath contracted and expanded, creating an almost undulating motion around the housed organ.

"D-Duo!" Heero yelled again, the feeling overwhelming him. He could feel the gripping from the outside, but there was something creating suction inside that was gently yet rhythmically pumping him. It was absolutely incredible.

Duo shut off the switch again. Standing back up, he smiled down at the boy who was shaking from pleasure. "Maybe we should explore equipment a little more thoroughly before using it, ne?"

Heero nodded, trying to calm down. He looked up at Duo, noticing the other boy was still very much aroused. "Come here and let me finish."

Duo grinned wickedly, loving that his sub was so eager... if not attentive. "And let you finish what?"

"And let me finish sucking you," Heero replied, not detecting his master's amusement.

"And let you finish sucking me what?"

Heero frowned. "You know what I..." he began and then it dawned on him. "Let me finish sucking you... master," he said with an embarrassed little smile.

Duo laughed. "That's better. I guess that really did blow your mind, ne?"

Heero sighed heavily. "It was... intense, master."

Duo chuckled but instead of complying with Heero's request, he walked around behind him again. "Well then, maybe I should continue and grant you release before me this time, koi."

Heero felt himself harden more at those words, and when Duo's finger slid between his cheeks again, he could only manage to choke out, "Yes, please, master."

Duo removed his teasing digit to pick up the other object he'd chosen from the table. It was a slim vibrator, and now that he knew what the bench could do, he was certain this experience would be one Heero would never forget. He lubed the vibe, and then began carefully stretching Heero again. His sub was thrusting back against the invasion in no time, and when Duo was finally using two fingers again, he knew Heero was ready. Hearing a whimper of protest when he removed his fingers, Duo gently inserted the end of the vibrator into Heero's entrance, moving the toy in a slow rocking motion.

"Oh yes! Master!" Heero yelled as he felt something that definitely wasn't a finger enter him.

Duo smiled as he pushed more and more of the vibe inside the other boy. He touched Heero's prostate, which had his sub yelling in uncontrolled passion. He thrust the toy deeper, letting it rest there as he leaned over to look at the other boy. "Oh, koi, this is just the beginning," he purred.

Heero moaned, not knowing how much more he could take. The tension in his groin had grown to almost unbearable portions. He was gripping the hand bars tightly; using whatever leverage he could get to meet the steady thrusts of the toy. His hair was wet with sweat, and his body was aching from the physical demands the encounter had placed on him, but what he was feeling at the moment made it all worth it. He didn't think it could get any better...

"You look so incredible like this," Duo said as he watched the ecstasy contort the other boy's features. Then he turned the vibe on.

"Master!"

Duo pulled the toy out a little only to plunge it back inside Heero's quivering body.

"Master!"

Heero felt the vibrations touch that place inside him, sending jolts of sensation coursing through him. He hadn't known pleasure like this existed, had never dreamed something could feel so good. His body strained to get as much as it could, his hands tightening their grip, his hips rocking, creating more friction on his trapped cock. It was then that he felt the apparatus around his erection come to life again.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Duo had noticed that there were two sets of switches on the bench -- one at the head and one at the foot.

"Pleeeease... M-master! Pleeeeeease!"

Duo let the intensity build, knowing that his sub was getting ready to fly to the heavens. He reached for his own erection, stroking it quickly. He was close and it wouldn't take much for him to come. Just seeing the other boy like this was enough to make his blood sing in his veins. He pumped himself as he continued to thrust the vibrator inside of Heero. The pressure increased in his groin, the fire of pleasure consuming him as he reached for his completion.

"Duo!"

Duo heard his name, said in that familiar voice, but in such an unfamiliar way, and it was what finally sent him over the edge. "Heero.... come!" he yelled as thick streams of his seed arched into the air.

The command was the sweetest sound Heero had ever heard. His body convulsed as he came violently, spilling himself into the contraption below him, screaming incoherent words of bliss. He could feel his essence pulsing out of him, and it was like all his fears were releasing along with it. The darkness rose to embrace him, and as he succumbed, he realized for the first time that he was free.

Duo reached a shaky hand under the bench and turned off the switch. He could tell that Heero was out cold. He smiled to himself, happy that he could engineer something like that for the other boy. He hadn't been kidding earlier though -- they needed to explore the equipment before using any more of it. Although this had been pleasurable, he was a little concerned about other features being more toward the pain side of the equation, and he wouldn't want to inflict that on his sub. Of course, any positive finds would make things more interesting. His smile turned into a grin as he wondered what pleasures awaited them.

After carefully freeing his playmate, Duo lifted the unconscious boy and carried him over to the huge bed. He laid him down, went and retrieved a wet washcloth and clean towel, and wiped both of them off. With a contented sigh, he threw the used items on the floor, crawled into bed, and pulled the blankets around them, snuggling close to Heero. Sleep claimed him quickly.

Heero awoke to the most contented feeling he'd ever known. Warm silk surrounded him, and he sighed, moving closer to the source of his comfort. He opened his eyes to see Duo wrapped around him, head pillowed on his chest, arms hugging him close, legs entangled with his own. It was a sight he'd never thought he'd get to see, and his heart threatened to burst. His hand tentatively stroked the long chestnut strands that were splayed around them. He could definitely get used to this.

Duo rousted from sleep to the feeling of someone caressing his hair. He practically purred, the strong fingers on his scalp a welcomed way to wake up. His violet eyes fluttered open, and when he moved his head to look at the person he was using for a body pillow, he saw contented blue gazing back at him.

"Morning, koi," Duo greeted huskily.

"Morning, master," Heero replied with a little smile.

Duo realized he'd called Heero by his sub designation without meaning to and mentally kicked himself. He'd always liked the term of endearment, but since they weren't scening together, he needed to address Heero by his proper name, so as not to confuse the role-playing with real life.

"Sorry, didn't mean to use your sub name. We only refer to each other as 'master' and 'koi' when we're playing, Heero. It's just that koi just suits you so well..." he broke off, wishing he had as much control over his mouth as he did other parts of his body.

Heero raised an eyebrow. "Oh, it does, does it?"

Duo flushed slightly. "Yeah."

Heero leaned down and kissed Duo's nose. "Then I guess it's okay if you let it slip. Maybe we should find me something to call you. Something like..." he thought for a moment then smirked. "Shi."

Duo snorted. "Shi?"

"God of Death, Death, same difference, ne?" Heero shrugged. It didn't matter to him. All he was concerned about was if Duo wanted more. Were they really going to continue with this?

"Shi will be fine," Duo agreed, liking the sound of it. He took a deep breath and forged ahead. "We need to discuss some other things too before scening again. That is, if you still want to after last night."

Heero saw the trepidation in those violet eyes and knew he needed to reassure his... partner. "I liked what we did last night, Duo. I liked it a lot. Is that... I mean... Can we..." He paused, trying to phrase what he wanted to say. "Do you want to just do something without all of the... equipment?"

Duo's breath caught. "You want to? I'm certainly willing, but you need to be positive before we take this a step further. It's one thing to create the illusion, Heero, like we did last night. That was 'scening', designed to release the restraints on your control. Although it was sexual in nature, it was still just a psychological tool to help you. If we become lovers, it will mean a hell of a lot more than that to me."

"To me too." Heero blurted out, feeling more confident the more they discussed it. "I want that. I've wanted it for a while now."

Duo felt his heart leap. "Really? Why didn't you say anything, baka?"

Heero sighed. "I figured if you wanted me, you'd say something. I thought if I approached you, and you didn't want to be more than friends, that you'd just blow me off or make a joke out of it. I knew I'd get angry if that happened, and I didn't want that kind of tension between us."

"Heero," Duo began, his hand rising to stroke the other boy's face, "I may be a jerk sometimes, but I would never have done something like that if you'd told me. I care about you more than that."

Heero looked into sincere violet and nodded. "I know. I'm sorry for underestimating you."

They were silent for a few moments before Duo rolled over on top of Heero, settling between his thighs. It was then that Heero realized for the first time that they were both still naked. Duo rested his chin on Heero's chest, giving him a teasing smile.

"So how are you going to make it up to me?" he asked suggestively.

Heero felt excitement course through him. "What do you want to do?"

Duo slid up Heero's body, causing the dark-haired boy to groan at the friction on his rapidly hardening erection. "How about we explore each other? Maybe I can interest you in a little phallic penetration?"

"Duo!" Heero almost choked at the other boy's bluntness, but his protest was cut short as Duo claimed his mouth in a hungry kiss.

They spent the next hour just kissing and touching. Duo discovered that Heero loved his ears licked, and Heero discovered that Duo loved having his hair stroked underneath around his neck. They teased and tormented each other, relishing each other's cries of pleasure and pleas of frustration. By the time Heero was on his knees, allowing Duo to stretch him, they were past the point of return.

"Duo, please... I need you!" Heero begged, rocking his hips back to meet the two fingers inside him. He was so ready he was leaking with anticipation.

Duo got into position behind Heero, guiding his cock to the other boy's entrance. "Are you sure, Heero?"

"Damn it, Duo! If you don't get your cock inside my ass now, omae o korosu!"

Duo groaned as he pressed forward, turned on even more by Heero's use of vulgar language. "I'm doing it, koi. Just tell me if I hurt you."

"Roger that," Heero replied before the feeling of Duo's shaft entering him made him moan in appreciation.

Silken steel slid into velvet heat, and both boys began making sounds of pleasure. Duo began thrusting back and forth, shallow at first, and then increasing in depth, until Heero was crying out for more. Duo suddenly reclined back on his haunches, pulling Heero with him. The motion served to spread Heero further, and Duo thrust into him deeper, drawing out pleas and curses from the Japanese boy as his prostate was prodding over and over again.

Heero laid his head back on Duo's shoulder, his back sliding against the other boy's sweat-slick chest, hips driving downwards to impale himself on Duo's shaft. Duo reached around and grasped Heero's erection, pumping it furiously as he felt himself getting close to climax.

"Come with me, koi," he almost pleaded, his voice hoarse from yelling. "Come with me, Heero."

Heero let the stimulation overwhelm him. Duo had removed the cock ring the night before, so he was free of the restraint, and it didn't take but a few strokes to send him over the edge. He felt the liquid heat shoot from his body as he screamed out in ecstasy.

"Duo! Duo! Yes, yes, Duo!"

Duo felt the warmth of Heero's release on his hand. His own length, buried inside Heero's passage, pulsed as the walls began milking his own bitter fluid from him. Wave after wave of pleasure flowed through him as he emptied himself into Heero, giving the other boy something more than just an experience.

"Oh, Heero! Oh, Heero! Yes, Heero!"

They remained in position for a while, panting heavily. Heero stroked Duo's thigh, making the other boy shiver in aftershocks of pleasure. Duo massaged Heero's balls, spreading his semen through the course hairs there, giving Heero a pleasantly sated feeling.

"I want to go home," Heero said suddenly.

Duo stiffened, wondering if he'd done something wrong. "Why?"

Heero turned his head, smiling at the other boy. "Because I want to have sex with you in my own bed so your scent will be on my pillows. I want to spend the afternoon watching old movies on the couch while we drink soda and eat potato chips. I want to go to the water park tomorrow and just enjoy being in the sun with you beside me. I want to..."

Duo cut him off with a kiss of pure relief. When he pulled away, he grinned. "Let's go pack."

"So, did you guys have a good weekend?" Quatre asked, taking a bite of his tuna salad sandwich.

"The exhibit was wonderful," Wufei replied. He then frowned when Sally stole one of his egg rolls.

Sally gave her partner a wink. "It was really interesting. We took pictures if anyone wants to see them when we get them developed."

"Sounds good," Trowa said as he stole some fries from Sally's plate. "We all need to go to the next concert. Quatre and I really enjoyed the one we went to Saturday."

Quatre nodded. "It was really good. You could hear the strings perfectly."

"So what about you two? Did you enjoy your weekend away?" Sally asked, looking across the table.

All eyes turned to the pair in question. One had been uncharacteristically at ease and the other unusually quiet. The partners looked at each other, seeming to communicate without words, and then smiled.

"We both ended up coming home on Saturday and spent the remainder of the weekend together," Duo replied, giving Heero a warm look.

"It turned out to be a weekend full of surprises," Heero added, smirking at the braided boy.

Sally raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really? Care to share your discoveries?"

Duo just grinned. "Let's just say that we found a better way to deal with tension than fighting, didn't we, koi?"

"A much more enjoyable way, shi," Heero agreed, his face reddening slightly, but a small smile on his lips showing his good humor.

Silence fell around the table, shock evident, until Quatre bravely ventured, "Well, that's good. I was afraid I was going to have to tie you both up and beat you."

No one understood why Heero and Duo both collapsed into fits of laughter.
