The Not So Distant Future
Disclaimer: I don\'t own \'em.
\"White Hunters destroy the tomorrow of these Dark Beasts,\" Persia concluded.
Birman switched off the television, \"Are you all in?\"
All four members of Weiss nodded. Birman distributed folders to each of them. \"Our research shows that the target scientist usually works late at night. Your goal is to kill him and destroy all of his research, especially the prototype featured in the photos. Destroy the entire lab. His work on time trave too too dangerous to allow to fall into the wrong hands.\"
The next night...
Omi\'s fingers flew over the keyboard of his laptop as he cracked the lab\'s security codes. \"We\'re in,\" he said into the communication device. \"Begin the mission.\"
The assassins made their way silently through the maze of hallways. Any guards who got in the way were quickly disposed of before anyone else could be alerted. They reached the door to the main lab where their target was located. Omi unlocked the door and Ken burst through it, followed quickly by Yoji. They took out the guards at the door and Aya headed for the scientist.
\"Who are you?\" the scientist questioned in a panic voice.
\"We are Weiss,\" Yoji stated in a cocky voice as he sauntered away from the door.
\"And we\'re here for your life,\" Ken finished.
\"And your work,\" Omi added.
\"Nooo!\" the scientist screamed. \"You can\'t have it! It\'s mine! Mine!\" His fingers flew over the console of the machine. Aya raised his katana and sliced through the scientist. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light around Yoji, who stood in front of the device.
\"Balinese!\" Omi yelled as his lanky teammate disappeared. Ken\'s yell echoed the boy\'s.
Aya\'s hard eyes turned to Omi. \"Set the timer,\" he said flatly.
\"But I might be able to get him back!\" Omi\'s voice wavered.
\"Balinese knew what joining Weiss meant. Do it Bombay. Finish the mission.\"
\"Aya!\" Ken yelled.
The hard eyes turned to Ken, \"The mission must be completed Siberian.\"
\"Aya...\" Ken said softly, but realized that their leader was right.
Omi\'s eyes filled with tears as he set the timer on the bomb that would bring down the entire lab and forever cut them off from their teammate and friend. \"Ten minutes,\" Omi said quietly and they retreated to their vehicles.
Aya glanced sideways at the empty seat next to him where Yoji should have been sitting, cigarette dangling from his lips. His gaze slid to the rearview mirror where he could see black smoke and flames licking at the horizon. \"Yoji...\" he whispered softly then hit the accelerator, trying to flee the pain in his chest and the sting in his eyes.

\"There\'s been some kind of temporal disturbance in the Tokyo area,\" Sally reported to the four young men assembled in front of her.
It had been three years since the last Eve War and four of the five Gundam pilots had come to work with the Preventers. Only Quatre d nod not join because of his responsibilities as the Winner heir.
\"Heero and Duo, I\'d like for you to check this out. All of the pertinent information has been sent to you Heero. You have to leave immediately. Wufei and Trowa I have another assignment for you.\"
After arriving in Tokyo, the young men got themselves settled in a hotel room and Heero pulled out the ubiquitous laptop. Duo got a few snacks from the vending machine and tried to sit still through Heero\'s briefing.
\"The source of the temporal disturbance is located several miles outside of the city. The land was once one of General Treize Kushrenada\'s estates. Currently, it is owned by Zechs Merquise. That gives us free reign on the investigation.\"
\"Why didn\'t we just stay there?\"
Heero shook his head. \"Too dangerous. Until we know what caused that disturbance we\'re not staying there long.\"
Duo heaved a dramatic sigh, \"Fine... But Heero, Treize\'s place has got to be nice! That man lived in the lap of luxury!\"
Heero\'s face remained impassive, \"No Duo. Go to your room and get some sleep. We\'ll investigate tomorrow morning.\"
Duo muttered and grumbled on his way out of the room, but wished Heero a good night before exiting.
The next morning...
Heero parked the car on the side of the road many yards from the driveway to Zechs\' estate. He and Duo walked silently through the trees and made a circuit of the estate.
\"Smoke,\" Heero murmured just loud enough for Duo to hear and indicated the chimney. Duo nodded, showing he had noticed. They carefully approached the front door and Duo fished out a lock pick from his hair. Heero flattened himself against the wall, gun drawn. A few moments later there was a quiet \"snick\" and Duo slowly opened the door. Heero entered first, gun leveled as his gaze swept the room. Duo followed him in and blinked a few times to adjust his eyes to the low light. He flipped a light switch but nothing happened.
\"No power,\" the American whispered.
\"Ssh!\" Heero cocked his head to the side.
Duo strained to catch what his partner was hearing. \"Singing,\" he murmured. They followed the sound to a closed door across the room. \"Whoever it is sounds drunk,\" Duo said as he stifled a snicker. The voice was rich and a little rough, but the phrases were slurred and punctuated by quick pauses. \"Sounds like a sad song,\" he mused quietly.
Heero held a finger to his lips and indicated Duo was to stay behind him as he opened the door. The room was illuminated by a fire in the large fireplace on the far wall and candles scattered around the room. On one of the plush sofas was the source of the singing. A blond man with sunglasses perched in his hair reclined with a mostly finished drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He wore no shirt and a pair of snug fitting black pants.
Heero leveled his gun at the stranger. \"Who are you and what are you doing here?\"
The stranger\'s singing cut off and he looked up, too drunk to be startled. \"Hello there,\" he greeted.
Duo entered the room when the singing stopped. He stood behind Heero\'s right shoulder. His eyes traveled the length of the man\'s body. \"This could be interesting,\" he mumbled to himself with an appreciative smile.
The man gracefully waved the hand holding the cigarette in Heero\'s direction, but he spoke to Duo. \"Tell yer frien\' ta put th\' gun away.\"
\"You heard the man,\" Duo said to the Japanese pilot.
\"Hn,\" Heero\'s gaze and gun never wavered.
Yoji gave Duo a lopsided grin, \"Talk\'tive, ain\'t he?\"
Duo rolled his eyes heavenward with a look of longsuffering and sighed, \"You have no idea.\"
Yoji chuckled and sat up, Heero\'s gun following his every move. The blonde patted the sofa, \"Come tell me all about it bishounen.\"
As Duo moved closer, Yoji got a better look at the braided man. \"Eyes like Aya\'s,\" he thought to himself. He shook his head a bit, \"No, softer. Got a great body, though.\"
\"Heero, put the damn gun away and sit down. Even if he\'s dangerous he can\'t do anything in his condition.\" Duo eyeballed the empty bottles of liquor, which cluttered the coffee table. He sat down next to the shirtless man. \"I\'m Duo Maxwell. I may run and I may hide, but I never tell a lie.\" He extended his hand with a grin.
Yoji grasped the proffered hand, \"Yoji Kudoh.\" He flipped some stray honey-blonde locks out of his face and gave a rakish grin. \"And does pretty, dark, and silent have a name?\" Heero glared.
Duo chuckled, \"That\'s my partner Heero Yuy.\"
Yoji winked at the glaring pilot, \"Nice ta meet ya Heero.\"
\"Hn.\" Heero sat down in one of the armchairs, finally convinced that the man was truly in no condition to cause trouble.
Yoji snubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and reached for the pack sitting on the table. He flipped it open only to find it empty. \"Damn,\" he muttered.
\"I\'ve got ya buddy.\" Duo held out a cigarette, already lit.
\"Thanks man,\" Yoji raised the cigarette to his lips and took a long drag. \"So where the hell am I?\" he asked quietly after exhaling the smoke.
\"This is an estate belonging to Zechs Merquise, about forty miles outside of Tokyo,\" Heero answered.
\"He speaks,\" Yoji quipped. \"Then, when am I?\"
\"AC 199,\" Duo replied.
Yoji exhaled loudly and leaned his head back. \"AC 199, huh?\" he muttered. \"My head is killing me.\"
\"Why don\'t we get you back to the hotel and get you sobered up,\" Duo suggested. \"Then we can get things figured out, ok?\"
\"Sure. Not like I\'ve got anything better to do.\"
***
\"Yoji. Yoji, time to get up.\" The voice came to him through a fog. The hand on his shoulder was insistently shaking him.
His emerald eyes slid open and soft violet swam into focus. \"Aya,\" he whispered incredulously as he raised his hand to the other man\'s cheek, a lopsided grin gracing his features. \"I had the strangest dream...\" He cut off abruptly as something soft yet heavy brushed the back of his hand. He blinked his eyes rapidly, Duo\'s face and braid coming into focus as he jerked his hand back.
\"Pleasant dreams?\" Duo asked with a saucy grin, the warmth of Yoji\'s hand lingering on his cheek.
\"It wasn\'t a dream, was it?\" Yoji asked as he sat up.
Duo sat on the edge of the bed, \"\'Fraid not.\" There was a quiet moment before Duo spoke again, \"We\'re gonna head back to Preventers\' HQ in a little bit.\"
\"Guess I should get my ass in gear then.\"
\"And a cute ass it is, too,\" Duo winked.
Yoji grinned proudly and patted his rump, \"Damn straight!\"
\"Sucks to be me.\"
\"Only if you\'re a good boy,\" Yoji winked.
Duo laughed. \"Go get in the shower! I\'ll order some room service. You\'ve gotta be hungry. You slept for a day and half. Heero wanted to get you up sooner, but I figured you could use your rest.\"
Yoji stretched and yawned, \"Thanks Duo.... Day and a half, eh?\" He raked a hand through his tangled tresses, \"Room service sounds good.\" He poked his head out the bathroom door, \"Coffee, and lots of it.\"
Duo shim him a thumbs-up and his trademark grin.
When Yoji emerged from the shower, clad only in a towel wrapped around his hips, breakfast had arrived. Duo looked up from his stack of pancakes as Yoji stepped out of the bathroom, steam billowing out behind him. He quickly closed his gaping mouth before any pancake bits could fall out. He swallowed hard, almost choking.
Yoji\'s face drew into an expression of concern, \"You ok?\"
A faint blush tinged Duo\'s cheeks as he mumbled, \"I\'m fine. Is it hot in here?\"
A blonde eyebrow quirked amusedly over flashing emerald eyes, \"You\'re not the only one.\"
Duo was, for once, temporarily at a loss for words. \"I didn\'t know what you\'d like so I ordered a little of everything,\" Duo chattered as he poured Yoji a cup of coffee.
\"I\'m already looking at what I like,\" he replied suggestively. This was just too much fun! Even more so than trying to get Aya to blush.
Yoji helped himself to some scrambled eggs and toast, amazed at the braided man\'s rapid speech. Duo babbled on about his sweet tooth, favorite foods, and anything else that could take his thoughts off the green-eyed mystery. \"And I loooove chocolate sauce, especially over a well-toned chest. Ahp!..p!... Ummmm... over some chocolate ice cream! Yeah, that\'s it, ice cream.\"
Yoji looked thoughtful, \"I\'ll have to remember that.\"
\"Heh... uhh... yeah... so anyway,\" and Duo launched into more rambling. Yoji\'s thoughts drifted off before the caffeine could kick in. \"...So I pulled my pants up, stuffed the domination gear under the bed, and got the fuck outta there before his girlfriend could get home,\" Duo said with a mischievous grin.
\"What?!\" Yoji worn orn from rather interesting thoughts of Duo clad in naught but his unbound hair and chocolate sauce dripping from his chest.
\"Got your attention, didn\'t I?\"
Yoji chuckled richly, \"That you did. Sorry Duo.\"
\"No problem,\" Duo replied good-naturedly. He loved the way that Yoji spoke, his words flowing softly from his tongue, almost a caress.
There was an abrupt knock at the door, which Duo answered. Heero stood in the doorway. \"We\'re leaving in half an hour,\" he said curtly and vacated the doorway.
\"Good morning to you, too, Sunshine,\" Yoji said to the closed door.
Duo laughed, \"I guess he does take some getting used to.\" He paused and scratched his head, \"Though it\'s been four years and I\'m still not used to \'im.\"
Yoji shook his head, \"He\'s worse than Aya. Never thought that\'d be possible.\"
Duo leaned his back against the door and crossed his arms loosely over his chest. \"Who\'s Aya?\"
\"One of my... cowrs,\rs,\" Yoji replied as he stood and sauntered to the bathroom. Any further inquiry by Duo was suspended as he gazed intently at Yoji\'s well-muscled back, tight ass, and long legs. When the blonde reached the door to the bathroom, the towel slipped from his hips, exposing his backside to Duo. He looked over his shoulder with a smile and a wink, then closed the door behind him.
When Duo pushed the image of his tongue licking chocolate sauce off of Yoji\'s nipples as his hands roamed over that long body, he began to chatter. \"So Yoji, what do you do?\"
\"Men or women, as long as they\'re pretty,\" came the reply from behind the bathroom door.
Duo\'s jaw hit the ground. Damn! This guy could rival even his flirting. \"That so? Meet anyone pretty lately?\"
\"Maybe,\" was the one word answer.
\"Man or woman?\" Duo inquired.
\"You\'re just going to have to wait to find out, bishounen.\" Yoji drawled the last word, drawing it out in sexy tones.
Hot damn! Duo\'s grin broadened. \"What do you do for a living?\"
\"I work in a flower shop in Tokyo, Kitten in the House He He walked out of the bathroom wearing black pants and tugging a black shirt over his head. Both shirt and pants clung to his body like a second skin.
Duo wolf whistled. \"So that\'s some interesting equipment for working in a flower shop.\"
\"Baby, you don\'t know how interesting my equipment is,\" Yoji replied saucily in an attempt to deflect Duo from this line of questioning.
\"I\'d just love to find out,\" Duo responded just as saucily.
\"Oh the possibilities,\" Yoji mused.
\"But seriously,\" Duo continued. \"You have a lethal watch.\"
\"Speaking of which...\" Yoji patted his coat pockets. \"Where is it?\"
\"Heero has it, he thinks it\'s a security risk.\" Duo rolled his eyes.
There was a knock on the door. \"And that would be Sunshine,\" Yoji said as he opened the door.
\"Let\'s go,\" Heero said flatly.
\"We\'re all ready... Sunshine,\" Duo snickered.
\"Your smile brightens my day,\" Yoji winked at the Japanese pilot.
\"You\'ve already spent too much time with Duo. Now let\'s go.\"
\"Yes ma\'am!\" Yoji saluted.
Heero stalked from the room. Yoji and Duo followed after exchanging a high-five. Heero piloted the plane back to Preventers\' HQ with Duo on co-pilot. Yoji settled back and dreamed of Duo and chocolate sauce through the flight.
Back at Preventers\' HQ...
The Gundam team was gathered in the Mission Room, Quatre having been called in by Lady Une, who was also present. Heero walked in with Duo and Yoji.
\"Talk about a bug under glass,\" Yoji muttered as he lit up a cigarette.
\"This is Yoji Kudoh,\" Duo announced loudly.
\"There\'s no need to yell Maxwell,\" Wufei griped.
Duo flopped down in a chair next to Wufei and flashed a big smile, \"Miss me Wu-man?\"
\"Maxwell! How many times do I have to tell you- DON\'T CALL ME THAT!\"
\"Ya know Wu-man, yer gonna give yerself a coronary if you\'re not careful.\"
Wufei sighed heavily.
\"It\'s nice to meet you Kudoh-san,\" Quatre said as he extended his hand. \"I\'m Quatre Rabarba Winner.\"
\"Just call me Yoji,\" he replied as he took the smaller man\'s hand. The rest of the introductions were made.
\"There gonna be a quiz on this?\" Yoji asked.
Quatre chuckled, \"We\'ll be nice and waive it this time.\" He blushed lightly, not used to the role of joker.
\"Winner, you have spent entirely too much time with Maxwell,\" Wufei groused.
\"Good one Q!\" Duo beamed.
Trowa gave one of his rare smiles, pleased that his love was loosening up. Quatre had been overly stressed of late, trying to run the Winner business.
\"Let\'s get started,\" Heero said, all business as usual. He was already irritated with the blonde and had a suspicion that irritation would only grow.
Une laid out what the Preventers knew, \"On the night of 10 May an unusual energy flux was detected at the Tokyo estate of Preventer Zechs Merquise. That flux was identified as a temporal disturbance. Two days later Mr. Kudoh was found at the estate.\" She turned to the new comer, \"We need you to fill in the blanks.\"
Yoji shifted in his seat, uncomfortable for once with being the center of attention. \"My colleagues and I were sent to... take care of a scientist who had been researching the phenomenon of time travel. This scientist was a great admirer of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi regime. He had succeeded in completing the device.\" He shrugged, \"Things were chaotic. One of my colleagues was... taking care of the scientist while another worked on cracking the security codes and destroying the device. My third colleague was covering the door, ready to take care of any possible interference. There was a flash of light and next thing I knew I was outside the estate.\"
\"And when we found him, he was drunk off his ass and singing,\" Duo snickered.
\"Maxwell, you\'re not helping,\" Wufeined.ned.
\"Define \'taking care of\' the scientist,\" Heero fixed Yoji with a piercing gaze.
The blonde shifted and lit up another cigarette. \"I am... was... whatever... part of an underground assassin team called Weiss.\"
Yoji\'s admission was met with silence. Wufei was the first to speak, \"I\'ve read of this organization. An elite team who targets those who cannot be touched by law. Serving justice where none can be served.\" The Chinese pilot nodded respectfully in Y's d's direction.
\"Cool!\" Duo bounced in his seat.
\"That would explain the watch,\" Heero stated.
\"Yeah. Can I have that back?\" Yoji was slightly peeved.
Heero stared at him flatly.
\"Yes,\" Une said, looking pointedly at Heero. He tossed the watch across the conference table and Yoji caught it easily.
\"What\'s the next step?\" Trowa asked.
\"We\'ll get Mr. Kudoh down to Sally Po for a complete physical examination. We don\'t know what effects time travel will have had on his body. Then, we find a way to send him back to his own time,\" Une laid out the plan.
\"Do we have to?\" Duo pouted.
\"Maxwell, taking someone out of his place in time can have serious repercussions on the time continuum. Our present could be completely altered in unknown ways,\" Wufei lectured.
\"I can get one of my company\'s labs on it,\" Quatre offered.
\"Thank you Quatre,\" Une inclined her head.
\"Where will Yoji live?\" Quatre asked.
\"He can stay with me!\" Duo offered.
Une nodded her consent. \"Now let\'s get Mr. Kudoh down to Sally, then you can take him home Duo. This experience, I\'m sure, has been rather stressful.\"
Sally drew several blood samples and examined Yoji from head to toe. \"Well Yoji, you\'re in excellent physical condition. You should consider quitting smoking though. It causes lung cancer.\"
Yoji waved dismissively, \"I know, I know. I\'ve heard it all before.\"
chucchuckled, \"You\'re free to go.\"
\"So I see the vampire struck,\" Duo commented on the bandages on Yoji\'s arm.
\"Yeah, and she was none too gentle about it,\" Yoji muttered. \"So let\'s get the hell outta here. Hospitals creep me out.\"
\"Awww... poor Yotan. I\'ll give ya some TLC when we bac back.\" Duo grinned.
Yoji chuckled, \"That a promise?\"
\"I may run and I may hide, but I never tell a lie.\"
***
\"Ahh... Home sweet home,\" Duo announced as he opened the door to the apartment.
Yoji walked in and promptly tripped, only his cat-like reflexes keeping him from sprawling face first on the floor. He bent over to retrieve the object, which had hindered his forward progress. \"What the hell...?\" he muttered as he picked up a plastic, pastel blue egg that rattled mysteriously.
Duo tore his eyes from Yoji\'s well- toned ass to see the object of thende\nde\'s scrutiny. \"Thanks! I\'ve been looking for that!\" He plucked the egg out of Yoji\'s hand and opened the egg. He poured the contents of the egg into his mouth.
\"How old are those jellybeans?\"
\"Fraam Eather,\" Duo said around a multi-colored mouthful of sugar.
\"That wasn\'t so long ago.\"
Duo swallowed the treats. \"Yeah. Two years ago I had the guys over and we had an Easter egg hunt. We found all but one.\"
Yoji groaned, \"Gross.\" He picked his way across the room to a ratty looking recliner and sprawled in it, \"So what color was this thing?\"
Duo shrugged, \"Dunno. It was that color when I found it on the curb.\"
\"They don\'t pay you very much, do they?\" Yoji glanced around at the ragtag assortment of furniture.
\"Oh sure they do!\" Duo chirped as he plopped down on Yoji\'s lap.
\"And you pick furniture up off the curb because...?\"
\"No sense in letting a perfectly good recliner go to waste, right?\" The young man looked up at Yoji with shining violet eyes.
A wistful thought flitted through Yoji\'s mind, \"Wish Aya\'d look at me like that.\" He shook his head, dislodging the thought, knowing it would never happen, especially if he was trapped here in the future.
\"Helllooo... Earth to Yoji,\" Duo waved a hand in his face. Yoji blinked, bringing his thoughts back into focus. As Duo was preparing to probe further, his stomach rumbled. \"How \'bout some pizza for dinner? There\'s this great joint down the street that delivers.\"
\"Sure, but no anchovies.\"
While Duo place the order, Yoji looked through the stacks of CDs. \"Quite a collection yoe goe got here.\" He put a Doors CD into the player.
\"There\'s nothin\' like the ancient music. They just don\'t make it like they used to.\"
\"Ancient! Look, I know this stuff is classic, but you\'re making me feel old!\"
Duo chuckled, \"It\'s been a few hundred years since this stuff came out.\"
\"Right, right,\" Yoji mumbled.
Duo tugged Yoji\'s hand, \"I gotta give you the grand tour.\" He pulled Yoji into the kitchen, which was just as disordered as the living room. The dishwasher door hung open and there were four clean plates inside. In the sink sat a few coffee mugs. \"The washer and dryer are in here,\" Duo said as he pulled open a pantry door. He was buried under a mountain of clothes. \"Heh, guess it\'s time for me to do laundry.\"
\"As bad as Ken,\" Yoji thought to himself with a shake of his hea \"E \"Eh, I\'ll do it tomorrow. C\'mon, the bedroom\'s next.\"
\"Aa...\"
The bedroom was chaotic. Comic books and technical manuals peeked out from under the bed. The few articles of clean clothes hung out of drawers and the closet. Knick-knacks and action figures cluttered every flat surface. cov covers were twisted together in the center of the bed. The walls were plastered with posters of bands and sports stars, as well as random magazine ads that had caught Duo\'s eye. On the bed was a plush black panther.
\"Trowa got it for me,\" Duo explained at Yoji\'s questioning gaze. \"It was a birthday present a couple of years ago. Tro used to work at the circus. It\'s my favorite animal. See?\" He pointed to a poster of the feline in repose. Duo plopped down on the bed, \"How \'bout you? What\'s your favorite animal?\"
Yoji slunk over to the bed and sat next to Duo, leaning close. He whispered, \"Cats. They\'re the perfect hunterrrrr...\" He purred the \"r\" right into Duo\'s ear.
The braided pilot closed his eyes as Yoji\'s breath whispered over his ear. He turned his head, but just as his lips brushed Yoji\'s, there was a knock at the door. \"Dinner!\" He bounced off the bed and into the living room.
\"Hn,\" Yoji frowned, then melted into a predatory grin. \"I\'ve always liked a challenge,\" he thought to himself as he rose and sashayed into the living room.
Through dinner Duo filled Yoji in on the changes since the end of the twentieth century in sketchy detail, until he got to the Eve Wars and the Gundams. Yoji listened attentively, soaking in the details, storing bits and pieces for later research.
\"So we all ended up in the Preventers, except Quatre. The rest of us found that quiet living just wasn\'t for us. Not that Quatre\'s life is quiet! He\'s the head of Winner Enterprises now, so he\'s always on the news, jetting around Earth and the Colonies.\" He paused to chug down some Mountain Dew.
Yoji took that moment to suggest a change of music. He had had enough of the history lesson and wanted only to forget that he was hundreds of years from Aya and the rest of his teammates. \"Perfect,\" he said as he put a Portishead CD into the player. He sat down in the recliner, letting the erotic rhythms flow through his body.
Duo dimmed the lights and pushed the coffee table out of the way. He began to sway, letting the music move his body. His braid swished across his back, brushing his backside.
Yoji lit up a cigarette, watching the braided dancdance through a few songs. When the temptation grew to irresistible levels, the blonde pressed up behind Duo, one arm snaking around his waist. Their bodies moved together fluidly in an erotic dance. When the music stopped Duo broke away from Yoji to hit the start button.
Yoji grabbed Duo\'s arm. \"No,\" he said huskily and pulled the violet-eyed young man against him, crushing his lips in a passionate kiss.
\"Okay,\" Duo sighed when they parted from the kiss. He took Yoji\'s hand and led him to the bedroom.
\"Meet me there,\" Yoji murmured as he slipped out of Duo\'s grip.
\"Where ya goin\'?\"
Yoji winked over his shoulder, \"Go get into something more comfortable.\"
\"Yes sir,\" Duo saluted. He went into the bedroom and stripped down to his palm tree print boxers. He stretched out on the bed and burrowed his toes under the sheets bunched up at the bottom of the bed.
Yoji entered the room with an impish grin and placed the bottle of chocolate sauce on the bedside table.
Duo began to chuckle, \"You shit!\"
\"Told ya I\'d remember. There\'s a reason I\'m an assassin...\" he trailed off, a cheerless expression crossing his features.
\"Uh-uhn. None of that tonight Yoji.\" Duo sat up and grabbed Yoj han hand, pulling the lanky man to him. His hands slid under Yoji\'s shirt, up to his chest and began toying with his nipples.
Yoji groaned under the brunette\'s ministrations. His hands slid into Duo\'s hair, massaging his scalp.
\"I think you\'re a little over dressed, Yotan.\"
Yoji smiled down at Duo, then pulled his shirt off. \"Better?\"
\"Not quite.\" The braided one unbuttoned the tab of Yoji\'s pants and unzipped the fly. He yanked the pants down over Yoji\'s hips and was confronted with a velvet leopard print thong. \"Nice,\" Duo smirked as he reached out to stroke the velvet-clad erection.
\"Nice?\" Yoji asked indignantly, feigning hurt as he stepped out of the black pants.
\"Verrrry nice,\" Duo murmured as he pulled down the thong.
Yoji pulled them off the rest of the way and eyed Duo\'s boxers, \"I thought I told you to get comfortable.\"
Duo grinned mischievously, \"Who says I\'m not?\"
He quickly slipped them off and sat back on the bed. Yoji stretched out next to the younger man and kissed him deeply.
\"Mmm...\" Duo sighed into the kiss as Yoji began to roll a nipple between his thumb and forefinger. Yoji\'s lips trailed kisses across Duo\'s jaw to his earlobe, which he took between his teeth and nibbled.
\"Oh!\" Duo wrapped his arms around Yoji\'s frame and trailed his fingers over the muscular back beneath his hands.
Yoji\'s lips moved down to Duo\'s slender neck and he sucked on the pale flesh.
\"Ah!\" Duo\'s hands traced down to Yoji\'s ass and massaged the flesh.
\"Mmm...\" Yoji purred against Duo\'s collarbone. He stayed still a moment, relaxing under the skilled fingers. He then shifted down a bit and took a pebble hard nipple into his mouth. His tongue laved the tiny bud and his teeth nipped at it. The fingers of one hand worked the other nipple.
Duo\'s hands were dislodged when Yoji shifted, so he slid them into Yoji\'s silky blonde tresses. \"Ya know,\" he murmured, \"I think I\'m getting a chocolate craving.\"
Yoji looked up from Duo\'s chest with a smirk, \"Is that so?\"
\"Mm-hmm,\" Duo nodded. \"And the solution\'s right on the nightstand.\"
Yoji rolled onto his back and Duo grabbed the bottle of chocolate sauce. He poured a generous amount in swirling patterns over Yoji\'s torso, down to his stiff member. Yoji sucked in his breath as the cool sweetness hit his skin. \"Don\'t worry Yotan, I\'ll have you warmed up realll soon,\" Duo winked. His tongue darted out and licked delicately at a swirl of syrup around Yoji\'s nipple. He traced the area around the pink skin, slowly circling in and licking over the hardening flesh. His tongue then moved across the solid chest, repeating the circling mo to to the other nipple. When he had licked all of the sauce off of it, he blew softly on the hardened flesh.
\"Tease,\" Yoji groaned.
Duo looked up at him with a smirk and licked chocolate off of his lips before returning to the enticing flesh before him. \"Yummy,\" he murmured and resumed his work. He trailed his tongue over the honey colored flesh, tasting the salt of Yoji\'s skin as it mingled with the chocolate.
Yoji writhed under Duo\'s tongue as it moved over his abdomen.
\"I think I\'ve found a ticklish spot,\" Duo said with a grin as he paused. Yoji just frowned. \"What?\" Duo asked innocently. \"Don\'t want me to stop this?\" his tongue lapped at the chocolate that pooled at Yoji\'s navel.
\...\...\" Yoji sighed in anticipation as Duo\'s tongue moved lower. Then, as it came closer to his groin, deviated to a thigh. \"Duo!\" was the strangled gasp.
\"Yes?\"
\"I think you missed a spot,\" Yoji commented as dryly as he could.
\"Here?\" the pilot asked before licking the length of Yoji\'s cock.
\"Unnn... yes,\" Yoji panted as white-hot sensations raced up his cand and along his spine.
Duo enveloped Yoji in his warm, moist mouth to the hilt and pulled back slowly, trailing his tongue along the underside of Yoji\'s cock.
\"Duo,\" Yoji panted.
\"Hmm?\" he questioned around a mouthful of hard, silken flesh.
\"Ahh...Duo.\"
He released the stiff cock. \"Yes Yotan?\" he asked in a husky voice.
Yoji ged Ded Duo\'s braid and tugged on it. \"C\'mere,\" his voice was gravelly.
Duo scooted upwards until his head was level with Yoji\'s. \"You didn\'t like?\"
\"Oh I liked,\" was the low reply. \"But there\'s something I like even more.\" He pulled the smaller man on top of him. \"I want to come inside of you.\"
Duo grinned. \"Well then...\" he turned to the bedside table and rummaged around in the drawer, producing a bottle of massage oil. He then straddled Yoji\'s hips. He opened the bottle and poured some of the sandalwood scented oil into his palm. The blonde could only stare as Duo inserted a finger into himself and slowly pushed it in and out, before adding a second, preparing himself for Yoji. \"Shit,\" Yoji murmured. He took the bottle from Duo and poured some oil into his palm. He wrapped his hand around his cock and pumped it a few times while Duo watched, violet eyes heavy lidded with lust.
Duo positioned himself over Yoji and slowly lowered himself onto the stiff cock. Both gasped with pleasure when he was fully seated. He began to ride Yoji at a leisurely pace. Yoji, however, was too close to the edge for self-control and bucked his hips up to drive deeply into Duo. The braided one cried out as Yoji hit the center of his pleasure. A long fingered hand wrapped around his cock and pumped in time to the thrusts. Their motions became increasingly more frantic, until Yoji drove powerfully into Duo one last time and spilling his seed. Duo lasted only a moment longer before reaching a searing climax.
Duo raised himself off of Yoji and curled up next to the sticky pilot. \"You\'re a mess,\" he observed.
\"Mmm,\" Yoji agreed as he reached for his cigarettes. \"Guess we\'ll need a shower.\"
\"Yeah,\" Duo responded and took the cigarette Yoji offered.
TBC...
\"White Hunters destroy the tomorrow of these Dark Beasts,\" Persia concluded.
Birman switched off the television, \"Are you all in?\"
All four members of Weiss nodded. Birman distributed folders to each of them. \"Our research shows that the target scientist usually works late at night. Your goal is to kill him and destroy all of his research, especially the prototype featured in the photos. Destroy the entire lab. His work on time trave too too dangerous to allow to fall into the wrong hands.\"
The next night...
Omi\'s fingers flew over the keyboard of his laptop as he cracked the lab\'s security codes. \"We\'re in,\" he said into the communication device. \"Begin the mission.\"
The assassins made their way silently through the maze of hallways. Any guards who got in the way were quickly disposed of before anyone else could be alerted. They reached the door to the main lab where their target was located. Omi unlocked the door and Ken burst through it, followed quickly by Yoji. They took out the guards at the door and Aya headed for the scientist.
\"Who are you?\" the scientist questioned in a panic voice.
\"We are Weiss,\" Yoji stated in a cocky voice as he sauntered away from the door.
\"And we\'re here for your life,\" Ken finished.
\"And your work,\" Omi added.
\"Nooo!\" the scientist screamed. \"You can\'t have it! It\'s mine! Mine!\" His fingers flew over the console of the machine. Aya raised his katana and sliced through the scientist. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light around Yoji, who stood in front of the device.
\"Balinese!\" Omi yelled as his lanky teammate disappeared. Ken\'s yell echoed the boy\'s.
Aya\'s hard eyes turned to Omi. \"Set the timer,\" he said flatly.
\"But I might be able to get him back!\" Omi\'s voice wavered.
\"Balinese knew what joining Weiss meant. Do it Bombay. Finish the mission.\"
\"Aya!\" Ken yelled.
The hard eyes turned to Ken, \"The mission must be completed Siberian.\"
\"Aya...\" Ken said softly, but realized that their leader was right.
Omi\'s eyes filled with tears as he set the timer on the bomb that would bring down the entire lab and forever cut them off from their teammate and friend. \"Ten minutes,\" Omi said quietly and they retreated to their vehicles.
Aya glanced sideways at the empty seat next to him where Yoji should have been sitting, cigarette dangling from his lips. His gaze slid to the rearview mirror where he could see black smoke and flames licking at the horizon. \"Yoji...\" he whispered softly then hit the accelerator, trying to flee the pain in his chest and the sting in his eyes.

\"There\'s been some kind of temporal disturbance in the Tokyo area,\" Sally reported to the four young men assembled in front of her.
It had been three years since the last Eve War and four of the five Gundam pilots had come to work with the Preventers. Only Quatre d nod not join because of his responsibilities as the Winner heir.
\"Heero and Duo, I\'d like for you to check this out. All of the pertinent information has been sent to you Heero. You have to leave immediately. Wufei and Trowa I have another assignment for you.\"
After arriving in Tokyo, the young men got themselves settled in a hotel room and Heero pulled out the ubiquitous laptop. Duo got a few snacks from the vending machine and tried to sit still through Heero\'s briefing.
\"The source of the temporal disturbance is located several miles outside of the city. The land was once one of General Treize Kushrenada\'s estates. Currently, it is owned by Zechs Merquise. That gives us free reign on the investigation.\"
\"Why didn\'t we just stay there?\"
Heero shook his head. \"Too dangerous. Until we know what caused that disturbance we\'re not staying there long.\"
Duo heaved a dramatic sigh, \"Fine... But Heero, Treize\'s place has got to be nice! That man lived in the lap of luxury!\"
Heero\'s face remained impassive, \"No Duo. Go to your room and get some sleep. We\'ll investigate tomorrow morning.\"
Duo muttered and grumbled on his way out of the room, but wished Heero a good night before exiting.
The next morning...
Heero parked the car on the side of the road many yards from the driveway to Zechs\' estate. He and Duo walked silently through the trees and made a circuit of the estate.
\"Smoke,\" Heero murmured just loud enough for Duo to hear and indicated the chimney. Duo nodded, showing he had noticed. They carefully approached the front door and Duo fished out a lock pick from his hair. Heero flattened himself against the wall, gun drawn. A few moments later there was a quiet \"snick\" and Duo slowly opened the door. Heero entered first, gun leveled as his gaze swept the room. Duo followed him in and blinked a few times to adjust his eyes to the low light. He flipped a light switch but nothing happened.
\"No power,\" the American whispered.
\"Ssh!\" Heero cocked his head to the side.
Duo strained to catch what his partner was hearing. \"Singing,\" he murmured. They followed the sound to a closed door across the room. \"Whoever it is sounds drunk,\" Duo said as he stifled a snicker. The voice was rich and a little rough, but the phrases were slurred and punctuated by quick pauses. \"Sounds like a sad song,\" he mused quietly.
Heero held a finger to his lips and indicated Duo was to stay behind him as he opened the door. The room was illuminated by a fire in the large fireplace on the far wall and candles scattered around the room. On one of the plush sofas was the source of the singing. A blond man with sunglasses perched in his hair reclined with a mostly finished drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He wore no shirt and a pair of snug fitting black pants.
Heero leveled his gun at the stranger. \"Who are you and what are you doing here?\"
The stranger\'s singing cut off and he looked up, too drunk to be startled. \"Hello there,\" he greeted.
Duo entered the room when the singing stopped. He stood behind Heero\'s right shoulder. His eyes traveled the length of the man\'s body. \"This could be interesting,\" he mumbled to himself with an appreciative smile.
The man gracefully waved the hand holding the cigarette in Heero\'s direction, but he spoke to Duo. \"Tell yer frien\' ta put th\' gun away.\"
\"You heard the man,\" Duo said to the Japanese pilot.
\"Hn,\" Heero\'s gaze and gun never wavered.
Yoji gave Duo a lopsided grin, \"Talk\'tive, ain\'t he?\"
Duo rolled his eyes heavenward with a look of longsuffering and sighed, \"You have no idea.\"
Yoji chuckled and sat up, Heero\'s gun following his every move. The blonde patted the sofa, \"Come tell me all about it bishounen.\"
As Duo moved closer, Yoji got a better look at the braided man. \"Eyes like Aya\'s,\" he thought to himself. He shook his head a bit, \"No, softer. Got a great body, though.\"
\"Heero, put the damn gun away and sit down. Even if he\'s dangerous he can\'t do anything in his condition.\" Duo eyeballed the empty bottles of liquor, which cluttered the coffee table. He sat down next to the shirtless man. \"I\'m Duo Maxwell. I may run and I may hide, but I never tell a lie.\" He extended his hand with a grin.
Yoji grasped the proffered hand, \"Yoji Kudoh.\" He flipped some stray honey-blonde locks out of his face and gave a rakish grin. \"And does pretty, dark, and silent have a name?\" Heero glared.
Duo chuckled, \"That\'s my partner Heero Yuy.\"
Yoji winked at the glaring pilot, \"Nice ta meet ya Heero.\"
\"Hn.\" Heero sat down in one of the armchairs, finally convinced that the man was truly in no condition to cause trouble.
Yoji snubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and reached for the pack sitting on the table. He flipped it open only to find it empty. \"Damn,\" he muttered.
\"I\'ve got ya buddy.\" Duo held out a cigarette, already lit.
\"Thanks man,\" Yoji raised the cigarette to his lips and took a long drag. \"So where the hell am I?\" he asked quietly after exhaling the smoke.
\"This is an estate belonging to Zechs Merquise, about forty miles outside of Tokyo,\" Heero answered.
\"He speaks,\" Yoji quipped. \"Then, when am I?\"
\"AC 199,\" Duo replied.
Yoji exhaled loudly and leaned his head back. \"AC 199, huh?\" he muttered. \"My head is killing me.\"
\"Why don\'t we get you back to the hotel and get you sobered up,\" Duo suggested. \"Then we can get things figured out, ok?\"
\"Sure. Not like I\'ve got anything better to do.\"
***
\"Yoji. Yoji, time to get up.\" The voice came to him through a fog. The hand on his shoulder was insistently shaking him.
His emerald eyes slid open and soft violet swam into focus. \"Aya,\" he whispered incredulously as he raised his hand to the other man\'s cheek, a lopsided grin gracing his features. \"I had the strangest dream...\" He cut off abruptly as something soft yet heavy brushed the back of his hand. He blinked his eyes rapidly, Duo\'s face and braid coming into focus as he jerked his hand back.
\"Pleasant dreams?\" Duo asked with a saucy grin, the warmth of Yoji\'s hand lingering on his cheek.
\"It wasn\'t a dream, was it?\" Yoji asked as he sat up.
Duo sat on the edge of the bed, \"\'Fraid not.\" There was a quiet moment before Duo spoke again, \"We\'re gonna head back to Preventers\' HQ in a little bit.\"
\"Guess I should get my ass in gear then.\"
\"And a cute ass it is, too,\" Duo winked.
Yoji grinned proudly and patted his rump, \"Damn straight!\"
\"Sucks to be me.\"
\"Only if you\'re a good boy,\" Yoji winked.
Duo laughed. \"Go get in the shower! I\'ll order some room service. You\'ve gotta be hungry. You slept for a day and half. Heero wanted to get you up sooner, but I figured you could use your rest.\"
Yoji stretched and yawned, \"Thanks Duo.... Day and a half, eh?\" He raked a hand through his tangled tresses, \"Room service sounds good.\" He poked his head out the bathroom door, \"Coffee, and lots of it.\"
Duo shim him a thumbs-up and his trademark grin.
When Yoji emerged from the shower, clad only in a towel wrapped around his hips, breakfast had arrived. Duo looked up from his stack of pancakes as Yoji stepped out of the bathroom, steam billowing out behind him. He quickly closed his gaping mouth before any pancake bits could fall out. He swallowed hard, almost choking.
Yoji\'s face drew into an expression of concern, \"You ok?\"
A faint blush tinged Duo\'s cheeks as he mumbled, \"I\'m fine. Is it hot in here?\"
A blonde eyebrow quirked amusedly over flashing emerald eyes, \"You\'re not the only one.\"
Duo was, for once, temporarily at a loss for words. \"I didn\'t know what you\'d like so I ordered a little of everything,\" Duo chattered as he poured Yoji a cup of coffee.
\"I\'m already looking at what I like,\" he replied suggestively. This was just too much fun! Even more so than trying to get Aya to blush.
Yoji helped himself to some scrambled eggs and toast, amazed at the braided man\'s rapid speech. Duo babbled on about his sweet tooth, favorite foods, and anything else that could take his thoughts off the green-eyed mystery. \"And I loooove chocolate sauce, especially over a well-toned chest. Ahp!..p!... Ummmm... over some chocolate ice cream! Yeah, that\'s it, ice cream.\"
Yoji looked thoughtful, \"I\'ll have to remember that.\"
\"Heh... uhh... yeah... so anyway,\" and Duo launched into more rambling. Yoji\'s thoughts drifted off before the caffeine could kick in. \"...So I pulled my pants up, stuffed the domination gear under the bed, and got the fuck outta there before his girlfriend could get home,\" Duo said with a mischievous grin.
\"What?!\" Yoji worn orn from rather interesting thoughts of Duo clad in naught but his unbound hair and chocolate sauce dripping from his chest.
\"Got your attention, didn\'t I?\"
Yoji chuckled richly, \"That you did. Sorry Duo.\"
\"No problem,\" Duo replied good-naturedly. He loved the way that Yoji spoke, his words flowing softly from his tongue, almost a caress.
There was an abrupt knock at the door, which Duo answered. Heero stood in the doorway. \"We\'re leaving in half an hour,\" he said curtly and vacated the doorway.
\"Good morning to you, too, Sunshine,\" Yoji said to the closed door.
Duo laughed, \"I guess he does take some getting used to.\" He paused and scratched his head, \"Though it\'s been four years and I\'m still not used to \'im.\"
Yoji shook his head, \"He\'s worse than Aya. Never thought that\'d be possible.\"
Duo leaned his back against the door and crossed his arms loosely over his chest. \"Who\'s Aya?\"
\"One of my... cowrs,\rs,\" Yoji replied as he stood and sauntered to the bathroom. Any further inquiry by Duo was suspended as he gazed intently at Yoji\'s well-muscled back, tight ass, and long legs. When the blonde reached the door to the bathroom, the towel slipped from his hips, exposing his backside to Duo. He looked over his shoulder with a smile and a wink, then closed the door behind him.
When Duo pushed the image of his tongue licking chocolate sauce off of Yoji\'s nipples as his hands roamed over that long body, he began to chatter. \"So Yoji, what do you do?\"
\"Men or women, as long as they\'re pretty,\" came the reply from behind the bathroom door.
Duo\'s jaw hit the ground. Damn! This guy could rival even his flirting. \"That so? Meet anyone pretty lately?\"
\"Maybe,\" was the one word answer.
\"Man or woman?\" Duo inquired.
\"You\'re just going to have to wait to find out, bishounen.\" Yoji drawled the last word, drawing it out in sexy tones.
Hot damn! Duo\'s grin broadened. \"What do you do for a living?\"
\"I work in a flower shop in Tokyo, Kitten in the House He He walked out of the bathroom wearing black pants and tugging a black shirt over his head. Both shirt and pants clung to his body like a second skin.
Duo wolf whistled. \"So that\'s some interesting equipment for working in a flower shop.\"
\"Baby, you don\'t know how interesting my equipment is,\" Yoji replied saucily in an attempt to deflect Duo from this line of questioning.
\"I\'d just love to find out,\" Duo responded just as saucily.
\"Oh the possibilities,\" Yoji mused.
\"But seriously,\" Duo continued. \"You have a lethal watch.\"
\"Speaking of which...\" Yoji patted his coat pockets. \"Where is it?\"
\"Heero has it, he thinks it\'s a security risk.\" Duo rolled his eyes.
There was a knock on the door. \"And that would be Sunshine,\" Yoji said as he opened the door.
\"Let\'s go,\" Heero said flatly.
\"We\'re all ready... Sunshine,\" Duo snickered.
\"Your smile brightens my day,\" Yoji winked at the Japanese pilot.
\"You\'ve already spent too much time with Duo. Now let\'s go.\"
\"Yes ma\'am!\" Yoji saluted.
Heero stalked from the room. Yoji and Duo followed after exchanging a high-five. Heero piloted the plane back to Preventers\' HQ with Duo on co-pilot. Yoji settled back and dreamed of Duo and chocolate sauce through the flight.
Back at Preventers\' HQ...
The Gundam team was gathered in the Mission Room, Quatre having been called in by Lady Une, who was also present. Heero walked in with Duo and Yoji.
\"Talk about a bug under glass,\" Yoji muttered as he lit up a cigarette.
\"This is Yoji Kudoh,\" Duo announced loudly.
\"There\'s no need to yell Maxwell,\" Wufei griped.
Duo flopped down in a chair next to Wufei and flashed a big smile, \"Miss me Wu-man?\"
\"Maxwell! How many times do I have to tell you- DON\'T CALL ME THAT!\"
\"Ya know Wu-man, yer gonna give yerself a coronary if you\'re not careful.\"
Wufei sighed heavily.
\"It\'s nice to meet you Kudoh-san,\" Quatre said as he extended his hand. \"I\'m Quatre Rabarba Winner.\"
\"Just call me Yoji,\" he replied as he took the smaller man\'s hand. The rest of the introductions were made.
\"There gonna be a quiz on this?\" Yoji asked.
Quatre chuckled, \"We\'ll be nice and waive it this time.\" He blushed lightly, not used to the role of joker.
\"Winner, you have spent entirely too much time with Maxwell,\" Wufei groused.
\"Good one Q!\" Duo beamed.
Trowa gave one of his rare smiles, pleased that his love was loosening up. Quatre had been overly stressed of late, trying to run the Winner business.
\"Let\'s get started,\" Heero said, all business as usual. He was already irritated with the blonde and had a suspicion that irritation would only grow.
Une laid out what the Preventers knew, \"On the night of 10 May an unusual energy flux was detected at the Tokyo estate of Preventer Zechs Merquise. That flux was identified as a temporal disturbance. Two days later Mr. Kudoh was found at the estate.\" She turned to the new comer, \"We need you to fill in the blanks.\"
Yoji shifted in his seat, uncomfortable for once with being the center of attention. \"My colleagues and I were sent to... take care of a scientist who had been researching the phenomenon of time travel. This scientist was a great admirer of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi regime. He had succeeded in completing the device.\" He shrugged, \"Things were chaotic. One of my colleagues was... taking care of the scientist while another worked on cracking the security codes and destroying the device. My third colleague was covering the door, ready to take care of any possible interference. There was a flash of light and next thing I knew I was outside the estate.\"
\"And when we found him, he was drunk off his ass and singing,\" Duo snickered.
\"Maxwell, you\'re not helping,\" Wufeined.ned.
\"Define \'taking care of\' the scientist,\" Heero fixed Yoji with a piercing gaze.
The blonde shifted and lit up another cigarette. \"I am... was... whatever... part of an underground assassin team called Weiss.\"
Yoji\'s admission was met with silence. Wufei was the first to speak, \"I\'ve read of this organization. An elite team who targets those who cannot be touched by law. Serving justice where none can be served.\" The Chinese pilot nodded respectfully in Y's d's direction.
\"Cool!\" Duo bounced in his seat.
\"That would explain the watch,\" Heero stated.
\"Yeah. Can I have that back?\" Yoji was slightly peeved.
Heero stared at him flatly.
\"Yes,\" Une said, looking pointedly at Heero. He tossed the watch across the conference table and Yoji caught it easily.
\"What\'s the next step?\" Trowa asked.
\"We\'ll get Mr. Kudoh down to Sally Po for a complete physical examination. We don\'t know what effects time travel will have had on his body. Then, we find a way to send him back to his own time,\" Une laid out the plan.
\"Do we have to?\" Duo pouted.
\"Maxwell, taking someone out of his place in time can have serious repercussions on the time continuum. Our present could be completely altered in unknown ways,\" Wufei lectured.
\"I can get one of my company\'s labs on it,\" Quatre offered.
\"Thank you Quatre,\" Une inclined her head.
\"Where will Yoji live?\" Quatre asked.
\"He can stay with me!\" Duo offered.
Une nodded her consent. \"Now let\'s get Mr. Kudoh down to Sally, then you can take him home Duo. This experience, I\'m sure, has been rather stressful.\"
Sally drew several blood samples and examined Yoji from head to toe. \"Well Yoji, you\'re in excellent physical condition. You should consider quitting smoking though. It causes lung cancer.\"
Yoji waved dismissively, \"I know, I know. I\'ve heard it all before.\"
chucchuckled, \"You\'re free to go.\"
\"So I see the vampire struck,\" Duo commented on the bandages on Yoji\'s arm.
\"Yeah, and she was none too gentle about it,\" Yoji muttered. \"So let\'s get the hell outta here. Hospitals creep me out.\"
\"Awww... poor Yotan. I\'ll give ya some TLC when we bac back.\" Duo grinned.
Yoji chuckled, \"That a promise?\"
\"I may run and I may hide, but I never tell a lie.\"
***
\"Ahh... Home sweet home,\" Duo announced as he opened the door to the apartment.
Yoji walked in and promptly tripped, only his cat-like reflexes keeping him from sprawling face first on the floor. He bent over to retrieve the object, which had hindered his forward progress. \"What the hell...?\" he muttered as he picked up a plastic, pastel blue egg that rattled mysteriously.
Duo tore his eyes from Yoji\'s well- toned ass to see the object of thende\nde\'s scrutiny. \"Thanks! I\'ve been looking for that!\" He plucked the egg out of Yoji\'s hand and opened the egg. He poured the contents of the egg into his mouth.
\"How old are those jellybeans?\"
\"Fraam Eather,\" Duo said around a multi-colored mouthful of sugar.
\"That wasn\'t so long ago.\"
Duo swallowed the treats. \"Yeah. Two years ago I had the guys over and we had an Easter egg hunt. We found all but one.\"
Yoji groaned, \"Gross.\" He picked his way across the room to a ratty looking recliner and sprawled in it, \"So what color was this thing?\"
Duo shrugged, \"Dunno. It was that color when I found it on the curb.\"
\"They don\'t pay you very much, do they?\" Yoji glanced around at the ragtag assortment of furniture.
\"Oh sure they do!\" Duo chirped as he plopped down on Yoji\'s lap.
\"And you pick furniture up off the curb because...?\"
\"No sense in letting a perfectly good recliner go to waste, right?\" The young man looked up at Yoji with shining violet eyes.
A wistful thought flitted through Yoji\'s mind, \"Wish Aya\'d look at me like that.\" He shook his head, dislodging the thought, knowing it would never happen, especially if he was trapped here in the future.
\"Helllooo... Earth to Yoji,\" Duo waved a hand in his face. Yoji blinked, bringing his thoughts back into focus. As Duo was preparing to probe further, his stomach rumbled. \"How \'bout some pizza for dinner? There\'s this great joint down the street that delivers.\"
\"Sure, but no anchovies.\"
While Duo place the order, Yoji looked through the stacks of CDs. \"Quite a collection yoe goe got here.\" He put a Doors CD into the player.
\"There\'s nothin\' like the ancient music. They just don\'t make it like they used to.\"
\"Ancient! Look, I know this stuff is classic, but you\'re making me feel old!\"
Duo chuckled, \"It\'s been a few hundred years since this stuff came out.\"
\"Right, right,\" Yoji mumbled.
Duo tugged Yoji\'s hand, \"I gotta give you the grand tour.\" He pulled Yoji into the kitchen, which was just as disordered as the living room. The dishwasher door hung open and there were four clean plates inside. In the sink sat a few coffee mugs. \"The washer and dryer are in here,\" Duo said as he pulled open a pantry door. He was buried under a mountain of clothes. \"Heh, guess it\'s time for me to do laundry.\"
\"As bad as Ken,\" Yoji thought to himself with a shake of his hea \"E \"Eh, I\'ll do it tomorrow. C\'mon, the bedroom\'s next.\"
\"Aa...\"
The bedroom was chaotic. Comic books and technical manuals peeked out from under the bed. The few articles of clean clothes hung out of drawers and the closet. Knick-knacks and action figures cluttered every flat surface. cov covers were twisted together in the center of the bed. The walls were plastered with posters of bands and sports stars, as well as random magazine ads that had caught Duo\'s eye. On the bed was a plush black panther.
\"Trowa got it for me,\" Duo explained at Yoji\'s questioning gaze. \"It was a birthday present a couple of years ago. Tro used to work at the circus. It\'s my favorite animal. See?\" He pointed to a poster of the feline in repose. Duo plopped down on the bed, \"How \'bout you? What\'s your favorite animal?\"
Yoji slunk over to the bed and sat next to Duo, leaning close. He whispered, \"Cats. They\'re the perfect hunterrrrr...\" He purred the \"r\" right into Duo\'s ear.
The braided pilot closed his eyes as Yoji\'s breath whispered over his ear. He turned his head, but just as his lips brushed Yoji\'s, there was a knock at the door. \"Dinner!\" He bounced off the bed and into the living room.
\"Hn,\" Yoji frowned, then melted into a predatory grin. \"I\'ve always liked a challenge,\" he thought to himself as he rose and sashayed into the living room.
Through dinner Duo filled Yoji in on the changes since the end of the twentieth century in sketchy detail, until he got to the Eve Wars and the Gundams. Yoji listened attentively, soaking in the details, storing bits and pieces for later research.
\"So we all ended up in the Preventers, except Quatre. The rest of us found that quiet living just wasn\'t for us. Not that Quatre\'s life is quiet! He\'s the head of Winner Enterprises now, so he\'s always on the news, jetting around Earth and the Colonies.\" He paused to chug down some Mountain Dew.
Yoji took that moment to suggest a change of music. He had had enough of the history lesson and wanted only to forget that he was hundreds of years from Aya and the rest of his teammates. \"Perfect,\" he said as he put a Portishead CD into the player. He sat down in the recliner, letting the erotic rhythms flow through his body.
Duo dimmed the lights and pushed the coffee table out of the way. He began to sway, letting the music move his body. His braid swished across his back, brushing his backside.
Yoji lit up a cigarette, watching the braided dancdance through a few songs. When the temptation grew to irresistible levels, the blonde pressed up behind Duo, one arm snaking around his waist. Their bodies moved together fluidly in an erotic dance. When the music stopped Duo broke away from Yoji to hit the start button.
Yoji grabbed Duo\'s arm. \"No,\" he said huskily and pulled the violet-eyed young man against him, crushing his lips in a passionate kiss.
\"Okay,\" Duo sighed when they parted from the kiss. He took Yoji\'s hand and led him to the bedroom.
\"Meet me there,\" Yoji murmured as he slipped out of Duo\'s grip.
\"Where ya goin\'?\"
Yoji winked over his shoulder, \"Go get into something more comfortable.\"
\"Yes sir,\" Duo saluted. He went into the bedroom and stripped down to his palm tree print boxers. He stretched out on the bed and burrowed his toes under the sheets bunched up at the bottom of the bed.
Yoji entered the room with an impish grin and placed the bottle of chocolate sauce on the bedside table.
Duo began to chuckle, \"You shit!\"
\"Told ya I\'d remember. There\'s a reason I\'m an assassin...\" he trailed off, a cheerless expression crossing his features.
\"Uh-uhn. None of that tonight Yoji.\" Duo sat up and grabbed Yoj han hand, pulling the lanky man to him. His hands slid under Yoji\'s shirt, up to his chest and began toying with his nipples.
Yoji groaned under the brunette\'s ministrations. His hands slid into Duo\'s hair, massaging his scalp.
\"I think you\'re a little over dressed, Yotan.\"
Yoji smiled down at Duo, then pulled his shirt off. \"Better?\"
\"Not quite.\" The braided one unbuttoned the tab of Yoji\'s pants and unzipped the fly. He yanked the pants down over Yoji\'s hips and was confronted with a velvet leopard print thong. \"Nice,\" Duo smirked as he reached out to stroke the velvet-clad erection.
\"Nice?\" Yoji asked indignantly, feigning hurt as he stepped out of the black pants.
\"Verrrry nice,\" Duo murmured as he pulled down the thong.
Yoji pulled them off the rest of the way and eyed Duo\'s boxers, \"I thought I told you to get comfortable.\"
Duo grinned mischievously, \"Who says I\'m not?\"
He quickly slipped them off and sat back on the bed. Yoji stretched out next to the younger man and kissed him deeply.
\"Mmm...\" Duo sighed into the kiss as Yoji began to roll a nipple between his thumb and forefinger. Yoji\'s lips trailed kisses across Duo\'s jaw to his earlobe, which he took between his teeth and nibbled.
\"Oh!\" Duo wrapped his arms around Yoji\'s frame and trailed his fingers over the muscular back beneath his hands.
Yoji\'s lips moved down to Duo\'s slender neck and he sucked on the pale flesh.
\"Ah!\" Duo\'s hands traced down to Yoji\'s ass and massaged the flesh.
\"Mmm...\" Yoji purred against Duo\'s collarbone. He stayed still a moment, relaxing under the skilled fingers. He then shifted down a bit and took a pebble hard nipple into his mouth. His tongue laved the tiny bud and his teeth nipped at it. The fingers of one hand worked the other nipple.
Duo\'s hands were dislodged when Yoji shifted, so he slid them into Yoji\'s silky blonde tresses. \"Ya know,\" he murmured, \"I think I\'m getting a chocolate craving.\"
Yoji looked up from Duo\'s chest with a smirk, \"Is that so?\"
\"Mm-hmm,\" Duo nodded. \"And the solution\'s right on the nightstand.\"
Yoji rolled onto his back and Duo grabbed the bottle of chocolate sauce. He poured a generous amount in swirling patterns over Yoji\'s torso, down to his stiff member. Yoji sucked in his breath as the cool sweetness hit his skin. \"Don\'t worry Yotan, I\'ll have you warmed up realll soon,\" Duo winked. His tongue darted out and licked delicately at a swirl of syrup around Yoji\'s nipple. He traced the area around the pink skin, slowly circling in and licking over the hardening flesh. His tongue then moved across the solid chest, repeating the circling mo to to the other nipple. When he had licked all of the sauce off of it, he blew softly on the hardened flesh.
\"Tease,\" Yoji groaned.
Duo looked up at him with a smirk and licked chocolate off of his lips before returning to the enticing flesh before him. \"Yummy,\" he murmured and resumed his work. He trailed his tongue over the honey colored flesh, tasting the salt of Yoji\'s skin as it mingled with the chocolate.
Yoji writhed under Duo\'s tongue as it moved over his abdomen.
\"I think I\'ve found a ticklish spot,\" Duo said with a grin as he paused. Yoji just frowned. \"What?\" Duo asked innocently. \"Don\'t want me to stop this?\" his tongue lapped at the chocolate that pooled at Yoji\'s navel.
\...\...\" Yoji sighed in anticipation as Duo\'s tongue moved lower. Then, as it came closer to his groin, deviated to a thigh. \"Duo!\" was the strangled gasp.
\"Yes?\"
\"I think you missed a spot,\" Yoji commented as dryly as he could.
\"Here?\" the pilot asked before licking the length of Yoji\'s cock.
\"Unnn... yes,\" Yoji panted as white-hot sensations raced up his cand and along his spine.
Duo enveloped Yoji in his warm, moist mouth to the hilt and pulled back slowly, trailing his tongue along the underside of Yoji\'s cock.
\"Duo,\" Yoji panted.
\"Hmm?\" he questioned around a mouthful of hard, silken flesh.
\"Ahh...Duo.\"
He released the stiff cock. \"Yes Yotan?\" he asked in a husky voice.
Yoji ged Ded Duo\'s braid and tugged on it. \"C\'mere,\" his voice was gravelly.
Duo scooted upwards until his head was level with Yoji\'s. \"You didn\'t like?\"
\"Oh I liked,\" was the low reply. \"But there\'s something I like even more.\" He pulled the smaller man on top of him. \"I want to come inside of you.\"
Duo grinned. \"Well then...\" he turned to the bedside table and rummaged around in the drawer, producing a bottle of massage oil. He then straddled Yoji\'s hips. He opened the bottle and poured some of the sandalwood scented oil into his palm. The blonde could only stare as Duo inserted a finger into himself and slowly pushed it in and out, before adding a second, preparing himself for Yoji. \"Shit,\" Yoji murmured. He took the bottle from Duo and poured some oil into his palm. He wrapped his hand around his cock and pumped it a few times while Duo watched, violet eyes heavy lidded with lust.
Duo positioned himself over Yoji and slowly lowered himself onto the stiff cock. Both gasped with pleasure when he was fully seated. He began to ride Yoji at a leisurely pace. Yoji, however, was too close to the edge for self-control and bucked his hips up to drive deeply into Duo. The braided one cried out as Yoji hit the center of his pleasure. A long fingered hand wrapped around his cock and pumped in time to the thrusts. Their motions became increasingly more frantic, until Yoji drove powerfully into Duo one last time and spilling his seed. Duo lasted only a moment longer before reaching a searing climax.
Duo raised himself off of Yoji and curled up next to the sticky pilot. \"You\'re a mess,\" he observed.
\"Mmm,\" Yoji agreed as he reached for his cigarettes. \"Guess we\'ll need a shower.\"
\"Yeah,\" Duo responded and took the cigarette Yoji offered.
