November. 2005 ShenLong

 

Chapter 43

 

Arriving back home from the hospital, Duo went up to the practice to see how Hilde had fared and to let the girls know they were back. Hilde had demanded all the details which Duo dutifully repeated, answering Hilde's and Catherine's questions as he explained all that had gone on at the hospital. By the time he'd finished and the girls were satisfied, he felt like he'd been involved in something like the Spanish Inquisition. When he'd told them of Heero's intent to ride that afternoon, he'd found himself with two mother hens to deal with. Now he knew why Heero had opted to stay up at the house and leave him to deal with the overprotective women. If they were this protective of Heero when he'd only broken his arm, Lord only knew what they would be like if he were ever to seriously hurt himself!

 

Duo sent a silent prayer that his health would remain untroubled.

 

Knowing that Heero was intending to ride, Hilde offered to stay and do the evening consults for Duo. She could tell it was worrying the other vet and decided that the best place for Duo that evening would not be in the surgery attempting to concentrate on clients when all his mind would want to do would be to see that Heero was all right.

 

Duo gratefully accepted the offer, promising to do Hilde's morning consults the next day. Leaving the women to their gossiping, Duo went back to the house where he found Heero had changed into his jodhpurs and was preparing to go out to ride.

 

"I guess trying to say anything would be a waste of time?" Duo said as he observed his lover searching for his boots.

 

"Yup," Heero returned and finding his boots, prepared to put them on.

 

Giving a sigh of defeat, Duo's shoulders slumped.

 

Heero looked up at his boyfriend and gave a soft smile. With his boots now on, he walked over to his partner and cupped Duo's cheek in his palm. "Don't worry so much, Duo. I'll be fine. I'm not silly and neither is Zero. I'm not planning on doing much, just some work on the flat."

 

"And what if Zero bucks you off like he did me?"

 

"He wouldn't dare," Heero replied.

 

Duo chuckled. "No, I guess he wouldn't."

 

"Duo, I appreciate your concern and understand your wanting to protect me, but I'm a rider, it's in my blood and I have to ride. I know there's risks involved with the arm being weak, but with the camp and team selection coming up next week, I have to get back in the saddle now otherwise I won't stand a chance in hell of making it."

 

"I know. Doesn't mean I have to like it though."

 

"If it will make you feel any better, come out to the paddock and watch."

 

"I was going to."

 

Heero laughed. "How did I know you were going to say that?"

 

* * *

 

Zero stood patiently as his master tightened the girth. He could sense something, but didn't know what. He could also smell something different about his master. It was a smell he associated with the other human, a sort of antiseptic smell, one he usually smelt when the other nice human was doing something inside that room that was attached to the stables. He followed his master out to the paddock and waited while his master adjusted his stirrups and then mounted.

 

Slipping his left foot into the stirrup, Heero bounced on his right foot for a moment and then swung himself into the saddle. His arm gave a slight twinge of pain as he put pressure on it and he flinched a little. He settled into the saddle, the mount not as soft as usual and slid his right foot into the other stirrup. He looked to see Duo walking over to the large tree in the paddock and was grateful his lover hadn't seen the brief pain he'd endured getting himself into the saddle. Collecting his reins, Heero got comfortable and then applied a light pressure to Zero's sides with his legs and the stallion moved off into a walk.

 

Heero circled the stallion at the walk, settling himself back into the saddle again and pleased that all seemed to be going okay so far. As Zero's stride loosened, Heero took up a little more contact and applied a light pressure, asking the horse to increase the energy of the walk but not the speed. His hands were light on the reins, although his injured arm didn't seem to want to cooperate a lot. Heero knew that was only due to the muscles being weak from disuse.

 

Zero continued to walk, feeling the signals from his master through his back and sides, but there was something off about the signals he was getting through the bit. Zero tried to puzzle it out. Usually the contact on his bit was even, unless his master was asking him to turn and then there was more pressure on one side than the other, but the signal to turn was also accompanied by pressure to one of his sides from his master's legs. Right now there was an uneven pressure to the bit but no signal from the leg; also his master's weight hadn't shifted. Zero was confused.

 

Deciding he'd walked for long enough, Heero shortened his reins again and applied his leg, urging Zero into the trot. The gray drew his hind legs under him and broke into a slow trot. Heero found the rhythm and began to rise to the trot, positioning his body weight and legs to keep the horse moving forwards.

 

Duo leaned against the tree watching his lover and the horse. Zero seemed calm enough, Heero looked to be concentrating hard. Duo felt himself relax a little.

 

Zero was still puzzled over the uneven pressure on his mouth and deviated slightly from his circle, unfortunately he didn't see the small branch that had fallen off the tree and he stumbled. The stumble caused Heero to lose balance momentarily and he gave a gasp of pain as he used his injured arm to push himself back into the saddle. Zero recovered quickly from the stumble but felt and heard his rider's soft cry. Instantly, Zero's senses were on alert. He could sense all was not well with his master, then it clicked, the smell emanating from him was the same smell Zero sniffed when the other human had been attending to an injured animal. While Zero was only an equine, he wasn't stupid. He felt the tremble pass through his master's body, smelt the sudden flash of fear and knew all was not well. He came back to a walk.

 

Duo had watched as the slip happened. He managed to restrain himself and not call out or attempt to run out to Heero and see if he was all right. He trusted Heero to let him know if he was hurt or needed assistance. Given the distance, he didn't hear the soft cry of pain, nor see the wince as Heero used his weaker arm to regain his balance. He did note Zero come back to the walk.

 

Heero bit his bottom lip as he waited for the pain to subside. As it began to recede, he set his jaw in a determined line, collected his reins again and applied the leg, asking Zero to trot.

 

Zero ignored the request and continued walking.

 

Heero tried again, a little harder with the leg this time.

 

The stallion took no notice.

 

Frustrated at having his aids ignored, Heero tried a third time, his legs pushing really hard as his voice backed them up. "Trot on, Zero," he growled.

 

Zero's ears flicked back as he heard his master speak and felt the pressure to his sides. He didn't feel comfortable about increasing his gait. His master didn't feel secure or ride like he usually did and that made Zero wary. He didn't want his master to fall off, so Zero continued at his steady walk, unwilling to put his insecure master in any danger.

 

Under the tree, Duo's lips quirked into a grin. He could see Heero trying to get Zero to trot and the stallion completely ignoring him. In one way it reminded Duo of how stubborn the gray had been when he'd first started riding him.

 

"Trot on," Heero demanded, this time he didn't squeeze with his legs, he gave a sharp kick.

 

The kick startled Zero; rarely did his master ever kick him. He lurched into the trot, finding his rhythm and settling into a very slow trot. He wasn't happy, he didn't feel his master was secure and he didn't want to add to the problem, so he kept his gait as slow as he dared without actually breaking back to the walk.

 

Heero began to rise to the trot and then sighed. He was getting annoyed with the stallion. This wasn't like Zero at all. He glanced across to see Duo watching them, an amused smile on his face. Frowning, Heero turned the stallion and rode towards Duo. Maybe the vet could give him a clue as to what was wrong with his horse; Zero certainly wasn't behaving like his normal self.

 

Watching as his boyfriend rode over towards him, Duo was quick to wipe the smile from his face. He looked up expectantly at Heero as he brought the gray to a halt before him. "What's up?"

 

Heero sighed. "Something's wrong with Zero."

 

"He looks fine to me."

 

"He feels fine, he doesn't feel lame or in any pain for any reason. No, there's something else up with him and I'm not sure what it is," Heero said as he thought harder on the reason for Zero's reluctance to work.

 

"I can't see anything physically wrong with him," began Duo. "Did you notice anything unusual when you groomed him? Any lumps or bumps on his back or girth area?"

 

"No. I gave him a good brushing and I didn't find anything."

 

"What about his mouth?"

 

"Felt normal when I put the bridle on and you filed his teeth a couple of months ago." [1]

 

"Let me check." Duo stepped up to the stallion and gently placed his hands on the horse's muzzle. With practiced ease, he slipped a finger into the side of Zero's mouth, the stallion opening up a little and trying to evade the wriggling finger. Duo glanced inside, experienced eyes roaming over what he could see of the inside of Zero's mouth. "I don't see anything wrong, nothing to cause him to be like he is. If it were his teeth I'd expect him to be tossing his head around a bit."

 

"Then what the hell could it be?" Heero sat astride the gray deep in thought.

 

"How exactly does he feel while you're riding? If he doesn't appear to be in any pain physically, how is he reacting to your aids?" Duo felt something tugging at the fringes of his mind.

 

Heero thought on that for a moment. "He just feels reluctant to go any faster than a walk. It's like he's being stubborn on purpose."

 

The thought that had been on the edge of Duo's mind suddenly burst forth and the vet grinned to himself. "Heero, think hard. Whenever you have ridden him, he's always been very responsive to your lightest aid. You're balanced and skilled in the saddle, right?"

 

"Yes, but -"

 

Duo cut him off. "Think now to how he reacts when you put an unskilled, unbalanced rider on him."

 

"Eh?"

 

"What was he like when I first rode him?" The smile on Duo's face was getting broader.

 

"He gave you a hard time," chuckled Heero. "He didn't want to move if I remember correctly."

 

"And why was that?"

 

The proverbial light bulb went off in Heero's head. "Shit!"

 

"I think you get my point?"

 

"Yeah, I do."

 

"If I'm reading this right, Zero's reluctance to move is not because he's in any pain or discomfort, but because he can feel that you're not your usual, balanced self. He can sense the weakness in your arm and he doesn't want to cause you any distress."

 

"That would make sense," replied Heero. "I'm bound to feel a little unbalanced to him because of the weaker arm and the fact that I haven't been in the saddle for so long."

 

"That's the only explanation I can think of. He's acting exactly the same as he does with an inexperienced rider on him."

 

"Duo, you're a genius," smiled Heero as he patted the gray. "I wasn't aware that horse psychology was part of a vet's degree."

 

Duo blushed. "It isn't, I suppose it's common sense in a way."

 

"Thanks."

 

"You're welcome."

 

"Now I have to figure out how to get him to work properly." Heero gave a soft smile and patted the stallion's neck. "Okay, Zero. I appreciate you wanting to wrap me up in cotton wool, but I've got enough mother hens around me without adding you to the list. I have to get back into riding, and you have to get back into proper work..."

 

"Hey! I resent you saying I didn't make him work when I rode him," Duo said, trying to look offended.

 

"Ah, there's work and there's work," Heero replied, the mischief dancing in his eyes.

 

"I didn't exactly let him meander around, you know."

 

"I know, I'm only teasing," snickered Heero.

 

"Just for that you can clean the stables out by yourself..."

 

"Already did," Heero interrupted with a smirk.

 

"...for the next month," Duo finished and folded his arms across his chest.

 

Heero thought he'd better quit now otherwise after the next round of banter he might find himself sleeping in the spare room. "Touché," he replied and smiled.

 

"You better go work that animal, Yuy, before he takes root from standing there too long."

 

Heero laughed and gathered his reins.

 

* * *

 

"Mail's in," said Duo as he walked back into the house from completing morning consults. He sifted through the envelopes and handed Heero the couple that were addressed to him before sitting at the kitchen table and opening his own.

 

Heero took the offered mail and glanced at the envelopes. His eyes lit up as he noted the return address on the second letter. Quickly he tore it open and began to read.

 

Duo didn't notice the excitement in Heero's eyes, he was too busy opening his own mail and sorting it into various piles. Payments of accounts, bills for the practice, flyers for new drugs and veterinary equipment and assorted junk mail. It wasn't until he heard Heero's quiet, 'shit, I'll need to go shopping', that he looked up and caught on that something was up. He raised an eyebrow in question. "Heero?"

 

"Ah, sorry."

 

"Anything wrong?"

 

"No. This is a letter from the selection board to let me know the address of where the camp is being held and the itinerary for the week."

 

"Where is it?"

 

"It's being held at the Waybridge property in Fenwick county. They've provided a map as well." Heero passed over the rough map that had been enclosed with the letter.

 

Duo took the piece of paper and studied it.

 

"I have the option of stabling Zero there and staying for the week, leaving just Zero there or commuting both myself and Zero every day."

 

"Waybridge is only about an hours drive from here, Heero," said Duo as he fetched a larger map from the book case and looked up the directions. "See." He passed the map over, pointing to where they were and where the street was that the Waybridge property was located on.

 

"I think I'd prefer to commute every day," began Heero. "That way Zero is in his home environment each night and less chance of him getting upset."

 

"He's usually pretty good when you go to shows and settles well," replied Duo.

 

"I know, but he hasn't had to stay away from familiar surroundings much in the past and I'd rather not risk anything further happening if it's avoidable."

 

"I see your point. Commute it is then. Now, why the 'shit' comment?"

 

Heero laughed. "I'll need to get a few more things."

 

"Like what?"

 

"A couple more pairs of jodhpurs, spare boots, new jumping boots for Zero..."

 

"Shit! You are going to need to go shopping," Duo chuckled.

 

"Yeah."

 

"How about we take a run into Salsbury tomorrow? Hilde's doing morning consults so we can head off early morning. We can visit the saddler's store, pick up the stuff you need and then take a trip to the pool."

 

"Sounds like a good idea to me."

 

"Then it's a date?"

 

Heero leaned across the table and stole a gentle kiss. "It's a date."

 

* * *

 

"How do these ones look?" Heero asked as he emerged from the changing room and modeled the fawn jodhpurs for Duo.

 

Duo couldn't help but snicker.

 

"What?" Heero couldn't see where the humor was coming from.

 

"Heero, that's the fifth pair you've tried on so far and each time you ask me how they look. I swear you will be asking me if your bum looks big in them next."

 

Heero gave a sheepish smile. "Now that you mention it; does my bum look big in these?" Heero made a show of looking over his shoulder into the mirror, trying to see if his ass looked big or not and trying not to snicker at the same time.

 

Duo rolled his eyes. "You're worse than a woman!" He got up from where he was sitting and walked over to Heero. Checking that there was no one around, he placed both hands on Heero's ass and squeezed. "No, your ass doesn't look big in these; in fact, it looks positively delicious," he whispered into Heero's ear.

 

"Ahhh," moaned Heero softly as he shivered with the touch and then gave an indignant squawk as Duo slapped his backside.

 

"Get back in there and hurry up, Yuy. I want to go swimming, preferably before I need a rubber ring to keep me afloat."

 

Heero huffed but did as requested.

 

Fortunately it didn't take as long to pick out a pair of boots for Heero and a set of jumping boots for Zero. With the purchases in a couple of plastic carry bags, the pair headed back to the car and then to the town pool to go swimming.

 

Stepping out of the change rooms, Duo kept the large beach towel wrapped around his hips as he waited for Heero to finish changing and join him. He gazed around. The pool wasn't very busy, probably because it was the middle of the week and most people were at work. There was a scattering of people on the grass under the shaded area, mostly young girls Duo noted with a sigh.

 

"Ready?"

 

Heero's voice in his ear caused Duo to jump and he whirled around. Heero grinned at him, a towel similarly draped around his own hips. Duo shook his head.

 

"Come on, let's pick out a spot to drop our stuff and go swimming," Heero said as he grabbed Duo's elbow and steered him towards the lawned area.

 

They found a spot that was a little away from other people and dropped their bags with their clothes in to the grass. Duo couldn't help but notice the admiring glances the girls were sending in Heero's direction. Duo scowled. Heero was his! The fact that the girls were similarly checking him out didn't register, all he could see was their eyes roving over Heero, and it got worse once Heero dropped the towel.

 

Duo thought he was going to suffer from sunstroke.

 

"Where the fuck did you get those?" Duo growled out quietly.

 

"You didn't think I was going to let you loose in public in your speedos, now did you?" Heero stood with one hand on his hips, the smallest pair of blue speedos Duo had ever seen covering his nether regions.

 

"They're not speedos, they're obscene!"

 

"Ahh, but I don't see you tearing your gaze away," teased Heero.

 

"Um, errr..." Duo flushed as he realized Heero had caught him ogling. "Damn, I'm gonna have to beat them off with a stick," he muttered as he dropped his own towel.

 

Heero thought his heart had stopped when he got a look at Duo in his speedos. The flimsy, red material scarcely covered Duo's assets, the finely toned body and well muscled legs providing the perfect compliment. Heero noted he wasn't the only one to be taking notice. "Let's get in the water and start doing some laps," he all but snapped as he turned to walk towards the pool.

 

Duo shook his head in amusement before following that nicely defined ass to the pool. Both men were aware of the burning gazes that followed them and did their best to ignore the lusting women. Reaching the edge of the pool, Duo dipped a toe in the water. "Ohh, cold," he said.

 

"Wuss," replied Heero with a snicker and climbed on the starting block, preparing to dive in.

 

Duo simply gave him a *look*.

 

Smirking, Heero gave his lover a cheeky grin and dived in, sending droplets of water flying in Duo's direction.

 

"Bastard," growled Duo as the cold water hit his skin. Deciding he might as well jump in seeing as how he was half soaked already, Duo slipped into the water and waited for Heero to surface.

 

The cold water sent mild shock waves through Heero's body and he surfaced quickly. He spotted Duo standing in the water by the blocks and swam over to him. "It is a bit on the chilly side," he commented.

 

"At least I won't have to worry about the girls trying to chase you now."

 

"Eh?" Heero wasn't following the vet's line of logic.

 

Seeing the confusion in Heero's eyes, Duo moved a little closer and brought his hand to Heero's groin under the water. He gave a soft squeeze. "Lose something, lover?"

 

Heero blushed as he realized what Duo was saying. The cold water had affected more than just his skin. His cock and balls were doing their best to climb inside his body. He was quick to retaliate though, finding Duo's groin and noting his lover's lack of assets. "I'd say someone else is also suffering from shrinkage."

 

Duo laughed. "Ah, didn't anyone ever tell you that it's not the size that matters but how you use it?"

 

"And you use it so well," Heero whispered huskily before giving the vet's groin another quick feel and then swimming off.

 

Watching the teasing water nymph swim away, Duo couldn't help but growl softly. With a shake of his head, he dove under the water and began to swim after his lover.

 

They spent a good hour in the water, swimming laps and resting in-between, enjoying the coolness and each other's company. Duo was still aware of the girls watching them, as was Heero, but they did their best to ignore them, concentrating on their exercise. Duo was beginning to tire and knew Heero's arm must be getting a little sore too, even though the rider would never admit to it.

 

"I think I'm getting waterlogged," said Duo as they finished yet another lap. "I'm going to hop out and dry off."

 

"I'll join you," replied Heero. His arm was starting to ache a little, but that wasn't his reason for stopping, no. Heero didn't want those girls ogling his boyfriend and he was going to protect what was his.

 

They climbed out of the pool, Duo grabbing his braid and wringing out the excess water. He gazed at the sodden mass and sighed.

 

"Looks like something else has shrunk," snickered Heero when he took in the sight of Duo's bedraggled braid. The length of hair had indeed shrunk and now only reached to Duo's lower back instead of the top of his ass.

 

"It's going to be a bitch to brush out. I knew I should have put it in a ponytail." Duo had experienced his long hair and swimming before. Although keeping it in a braid meant it stayed out of his way, it also 'shrank' and became a veritable minefield of tangles and snarls, not to mention it took ages to dry. If he swam with it in a ponytail at least it didn't get quite so many tangles and was quicker to brush out and dry off.

 

They walked back to the grass where they had dumped their belongings, both men fully aware of the heated gazes shot in their direction and each as determined to fight off the females from their partner should it be necessary. Duo watched his lover appreciatively as Heero bent over to pick up his towel. Those tiny speedos outlined that perfect ass so well. Duo groaned and closed his eyes. It would not do for him to be getting hard when wearing a small pair of speedos himself!

 

Heero snickered when he heard the groan. He knew full well the effect he was having on his lover, Lord knew he was suffering from the same affliction himself. He glanced over at Duo as he straightened himself up and bit his lip. The water from Duo's hair was still dripping down onto Duo's skin. The tiny droplets joining forces and then running over the milky planes.

 

Heero quickly wrapped the towel around his waist, covering his rising excitement.

 

Duo followed suit, noticing Heero's discomfort and swelling of the blue material. His own towel managed to find its way around Duo's waist and not soon enough as Duo's cock began to swell. He sat on the grass, Heero dropping to sit beside him and reached for his tangled mass of hair.

 

"I don't know about you, but I think we need to get out of here and soon," Heero murmured.

 

"I'm right with you, Heero," Duo returned, feeling the heat continuing to rise in his nether regions. "Just let me do something with this mess first." Duo reached for the tie to his braid and released it. He combed his fingers through the tangled mess, trying to restore some form of order to it. He knew it would need a wash and ton of conditioner to completely sort it out, but it would have to wait until they got home.

 

Heero waited patiently while Duo sorted out his hair as best he could. Out the corner of his eye he could see the girls whispering amongst themselves and shooting glances at them. It would appear they were trying to goad each other into coming over and talking to them. Heero really didn't fancy having anyone near his boyfriend and if they did get up the courage to approach then he would have to be polite and put up with their obvious attraction whilst trying to think up excuses to avoid the inevitable questions and attempts to gain a date.

 

"I'm as done as I'm gonna be."

 

Duo's words broke into Heero's thoughts and the Japanese man turned to his lover. "Good. Let's get out of here then before the admirers make a move."

 

Duo chuckled and stood, grabbing his bag and walking off towards the change rooms. Heero was a step behind him and Duo could swear he heard the girls breathe sighs of frustration when they realized they were leaving. Five minutes later they were changed and in the car.

 

"This is going to take ages to brush through," complained Duo as he continued to comb through his hair with his fingers while Heero drove them home.

 

"I'll help you," replied Heero.

 

"Thanks. Next time remind me to put it in a ponytail."

 

"There won't be a next time," growled Heero.

 

"Huh? I thought you wanted to go swimming to strengthen your arm?"

 

"I'll find another way."

 

"I do believe someone is jealous," teased Duo.

 

"I don't appreciate females, or males for that matter, drooling all over my boyfriend. Mine!"

 

Duo thought he'd better shut up now.

 

* * *

 

When they arrived back home, Duo headed straight for the shower. He stripped off his clothes and stepped under the warm spray. Tilting his head back, he let the warm water course through the chestnut strands, soaking the still damp mass completely. He reached for the shampoo bottle and poured a generous amount into the palm of his hand. Duo began to hum as he worked the shampoo through his hair, lathering it up and spreading it evenly through the long tresses. So caught up in his task, he didn't hear the bathroom door open.

 

"Mind if I join you?"

 

Duo gave a squeak of surprise as the shower stall door slipped open. He heard the words and managed to get the soap away from his eyes so he could open them. Before him, waiting for permission to enter the shower, stood a very naked Heero. Duo grinned. "Of course you can."

 

Heero stepped inside the stall and took over the washing of his lover's hair, massaging Duo's scalp and eliciting soft moans from his boyfriend's throat. He guided Duo back under the shower's spray and rinsed the soap from his lover's hair before grabbing the bottle of conditioner and squeezing a good sized amount onto Duo's hair.

 

Relaxing under the ministrations, Duo was almost purring as Heero's fingers gently worked the conditioner through his tresses. Those fingers felt so good against his scalp, soothing away all the tension in the vet's body.

 

"It needs to stay in for a few minutes," said Heero softly as he finished spreading the conditioner through Duo's hair.

 

"Any suggestions as to how we can pass the time?" Duo asked, his voice husky. Heero's hands had affected him in more ways than just to relax him.

 

"I might have a few," replied Heero in a sultry tone and let his hands wander over the slick skin of Duo's back and then around the front of his thighs to stroke through the vet's pubic hair.

 

Duo groaned and pushed into the touch. He let his own hands traverse Heero's body, mapping out the contours and settling on the hardened flesh between his lover's legs.

 

Hips began to thrust as each man took a firm hold on the other's cock, steel lengths were stroked, caressed and tormented. Duo found Heero's sac and began to massage, Heero spreading his legs to allow further access and dropping his head to Duo's shoulder as he panted his excitement. Duo was in a similar position. Legs spread, hips thrusting as Heero's hand worked the shaft of his cock with expertise, pausing to rub over the swollen crown from time to time and tease the small slit. Duo's head rested against Heero's shoulder as he squirmed and moaned his approval.

 

Feeling the familiar sensations spreading through their respective systems, both men sped up their ministrations, each trying to bring the other off as quickly as possible. All thoughts fled their minds as they focused solely on reaching the pinnacle of pleasure.

 

Duo was the first to fall over the edge, his muffled cries of release against Heero's shoulder followed by the warm spurting of fluid from his cock. Somehow he managed to keep his hand moving and bring Heero to completion as the strength of his orgasm washed over him.

 

Heero gave a strangled moan as his release found him. He jerked and shuddered, milky fluid escaping and coating Duo's hand before the spray began to wash it away. They clung to each other, enjoying the wash of both water and pleasure over and through their bodies.

 

Heero was the first to recover and supporting the vet, who still seemed to be floating in a haze somewhere near the moon, he managed to get Duo under the spray completely and start the task of rinsing out the conditioner.

 

A couple of minutes later, the water was turned off and they stepped out of the stall. Duo's consciousness had returned and he snagged a couple of fluffy towels for them, passing one to Heero and then wrapping the other around his own waist. A third towel was employed to deal with Duo's hair and the pair stepped out of the bathroom and headed to the bedroom to dry off, change and tend to the remaining duties for the day.

[1] Horses are herbivores and eat grasses. Unlike human teeth, their teeth continue to grow for their entire life. When a horse chews its food it does so in a grinding fashion, the top jaw is fixed while the bottom jaw moves in a circular motion. This can often lead to uneven wear on the molars resulting in the teeth growing sharper edges and/or points on the outer side of the molar. This is why a horse's teeth should be checked regularly and 'filed' every year to remove any sharp edges.
