Chapter 6
Duo snuggled further into the arms holding him, content to drift between sleep and consciousness. There was something tickling at his memory but he was too comfortable to pay much attention to it. He sighed as the arms tightened their grip slightly but froze as cool lips began to nuzzle his neck. Cool lips? Duo bolted from the bed and then hissed in pain as his body complained about the sudden movement. He blushed as memories from their previous activities, no matter how hazy they were, flooded back. He watched as Hero slowly sat up, sheets pooling in his lap. The cold air had Duo's eyes widening in panic and shock, he was naked. Heero was naked!
Heero frowned as he felt his mate's distress through their bond. He stood and moved to comfort him but Duo whimpered and backed away. It was obvious from his movements that the mortal was in some pain from the previous nights activities but he didn't think that was what was causing his mates actions.
“Duo it's okay. The pain will fade soon, its normal. Come back to bed, we don't have to be up yet.” Heero extended his hand invitingly and took a step forward.
“Stay away from me! I did what you wanted now leave me alone!” Heero hid a flinch at the anger in the teen's voice. He had hoped that the bond would have already begun influencing his feelings towards him but obviously it hadn't.
“All right, I won't touch you but you should get back into the bed. The air is too cold for you, I don't want you to get sick.” Duo shook his head; there was no way he was getting back in that bed.
“Get out of here. I hate you! You did this to me you monster! GET OUT!” Duo was becoming hysterical and the last was screamed. Heero fought not to show how much those words hurt and quickly blocked himself from Quatre; the little one did not need to feel what was happening.
“Duo calm down! You agreed to what happened last night, remember? I did not force you into it.” But Duo wasn't listening. Heero moved, grabbing Duo to restrain him even as the mortal fought him tooth and nail, trying to get to the door.
“Duo!” He snapped and panicked amethyst eyes moved to meet his. He altered his grip as Duo went limp, lifting the teen and quickly carrying him back to the bed. He sat beside him and touched his face gently. Unfocused eyes moved to rest on him and he sighed tiredly.
“Why must you fight me like this? I hate doing this to you but you keep leaving me no other option. I love you Duo, I chose you.” He leant down and kissed Duo softly, smiling slightly as the mortal instinctively responded, unaware of what he was doing. He gently stroked his fingers through the long chestnut strands, Duo lying still under his influence. The boy's braid had come loose at some point last night and Heero found that he liked his hair unbound. He moved to nuzzle at a warm neck, licking gently at the skin as Duo's head fell to the side, giving him complete access. He nipped lightly, just enough to raise a few droplets of that addicting liquid and lapped it up eagerly. Duo moaned and his fingers twitched, making Heero smile. He had a strong will to be fighting his power like this.
“Duo I want you to stay in this state, you are safe and warm. The outside world doesn't matter; just close your eyes and drift. You will listen to my voice and answer my questions fully and truthfully. Do you understand?” He watched as Duo's eyes drifted fully shut, his body becoming even more relaxed as Duo lost the fight against him with the reinforced commands.
“Yes.” Duo's voice had a distant quality to it, showing he wasn't aware of what was happening.
“Good. Who were your parents?” Heero wanted as much information as possible so that he could understand his mate and his reactions.
“Don't know, don't need them.” He frowned at the answer; stroking Duo's arm soothingly even thought he knew Duo wouldn't be able to feel it.
“Who raised you?”
“Solo and the gang. Father Maxwell and Sister Helen.”
“What happened to them?”
“Dead, all dead. Solo in the plague. Father Maxwell in the fire. Everyone dies, leaves me.” Duo's voice was beginning to lose the distant tone and was becoming distressed.
“Shhh, it's okay. You're warm and safe Duo, unaware of anything but that and my voice.” Duo sighed as the command was reinforced again. Heero kissed the top of his head gently, going back to stroking his hair.
“Why do you hate me?”
“Stole my life. Didn't ask me. Took them from me.”
“Took who Duo?”
“Hilde, Alex, Nick, Tommy, Alice.”
“Stop now.” He felt sorry for Duo, knowing that all his friends were long dead but he knew he had done the right thing.
“I love you Duo, do you believe me?”
“No one loves me, can't love me.”
“I do. I want you to be happy Duo.” Heero sighed. He knew enough for now.
“I want you to start waking up now Duo, you won't remember any of this. You will remain calm and not fight me.” He stayed where he was as Duo's eyelids began to flutter before opening and then focusing on him. He smiled gently at the mortal. Duo frowned slightly, obviously aware that Heero had done something but not what.
“I just helped you calm down Duo, you were past hysterical.” Duo tried to move his head away from Heero's tender fingers but his body had other ideas.
“Stop.” Duo said softly.
“No. We will be together for a very long time Duo, you need to get used to my touch. I won't hurt you.”
“Long time? No way.” Duo shook his head slightly, body still too lethargic to do much.
“Yes Duo. You are my mate. When you are ready I will turn you and we will be together for centuries, millennia even.”
“Never.” Duo stated and Heero chuckled.
“Never is a very long time love.” Heero leant over and kissed him softly. Duo fought before finally submitting but not participating.
“You will eventually accept this Duo. I am all you have now.” Duo shook his head, tears beginning to fall silently from now closed eyes.
“Would it be easier if you forget for now? I could temporarily block your memories of your old life and let them return in a few centuries when you can deal with them better.” Duo's eyes snapped open and he glared up at Heero.
“I am beginning to think that would be best, they are causing you too much pain.”
“I swear I will hate you forever if you do.”
“Then give me another option Duo. You have to accept what has happened, it is impossible for you to go back. Not even I have the power to undo what has been done. I do not want you to be sad.”
“Should have thought about that before you did this.” Heero sighed at the answer before leaning down to kiss him again.
“I will give you until the night after next to make your peace with what has happened. After that I will block the memories. And do not think you can fake it, I will know if you have accepted it or not. Things are simply becoming too dangerous, I can not risk the Council coming while you feel like this.”
“You can't.”
“I can! I am sorry but this is the way things are and you must accept that.” His fingers went to Duo's claim mark, rubbing it lightly and causing Duo to gasp at the sensation.
“Feels good doesn't it?” He whispered softly and Duo moaned, lifting his head slightly so Heero had better access to the mark. He smirked and began to rub harder, watching in delight as Duo melted.
“I want you to spend the next two days thinking Duo. Think clearly and carefully about what you left behind and what you are being offered. Life with us, as one of us isn't that bad love. You won't be disturbed except for meals which you will eat.” He whispered in Duo's ear, earning a dazed nod. He smiled and slipped from the room, either way he would have his answer in two nights time.
