Problem Solved
 

    It was a quite day in the Ronin manner, and nothing out of the ordinary
was going on.  Ryo was outside with Whiteblaze, Yuli, and Mia washing the
jeep.  Sage was outback practicing sword techniques, Kento and Rowen were
fighting over the last breakfast biscuit, and Cye was cleaning up the
shrapnel from breakfast.  He stared out of the window aimlessly at the bright
morning sun.  Kento and Rowen's loud shouting over the breakfast biscuit
didn't even pierce through his haze of thoughts.  Usually, he told Rowen or
Kento he'd make another, but this morning something else was on his mind.
    Sage was out in the backyard swinging his sword in swift even strokes
trying to keep his mind off of…the one thing he had been thinking about since
the beginning.
    "Why do I feel this way?" Sage thought. "I'm a man…I can't feel like
this.  But I want…"  An apple came rolling down the hill and stopped at his
feet, causing him to pause in mid-stroke.
    "Why you swinging that blade so hard today blondie?" Kento asked.  Sage
looked up and saw Cye's face peering out of the window; then he quickly
shifted his eyes to Kento and answered,
    "Just keeping my mind off of things."
    "Whatcha thinking about?"
    "Nothing, well nothing that I'd like to discuss right now."  Sage looked
back down at the apple then back up at Cye's face in the window.  His bright
aquamarine eyes screamed out at Sage from the window.
    "I wonder what he's thinking about," Sage thought.

    "I wonder what he's staring at?" thought Cye. "But it's not like I mind
him looking at me."  Sage stared some more, but got the feeling that he was
being watched, so he just turned and started to swing his sword all over
again.
    The bright sun glinted off of the blade, casting bright white spots on
the ground and the surrounding area.  Sage held the blade edgewise in front
of his face and flicked it outward so that it would point at the tree in
front of him.  The wind filtered through his thick, blonde hair, removing his
hair from over his covered right eye.  He just found himself staring out at
the illuminated point of the blade; he didn't move.
    Ryo came around the back to hang the hose up and he saw Sage standing
completely motionless.  Wondering what was going on, Ryo called out Sage's
name.  Sage turned around in an almost startled manner.
    "You okay?" Ryo asked.
    "Sure, why wouldn't I be?"
    "Sage, you've been at this for hours…come in and get some lunch or
something.  Cye made some of those salmon things you like a lot."
    "Croquets."
    "Yeah, whatever.  Now come in here."  Sage put his sword down slowly and
walked into the house.  As soon as he saw Cye in his white wife beater, he
stopped dead and almost choked.  This was the first time that he had ever
looked at Cye's body in this manner.  His finely muscled arms and chest, and
the auburn hair and red highlights that burned when any form of light hit
them.  But Cye's eyes were always the thing to make Sage buckle.  Looking up,
Cye smiled and said,
    "Come on and sit down, I know you're hungry.  You've been out there a
while."
    "Oh yeah, right."  Kento looked at Sage and couldn't remember when Sage
had ever been disoriented.
    "What about though?" Kento wondered.  He stared at Sage while he ate his
salmon nervously.  Sage seemed as if he had no grace at this particular
moment.  He dropped his fork, almost spilled his water, and got lost in the
conversation that they were having around the table.  Even the least visually
perceptive of the group, Ryo, noticed that Sage was not acting like his
particularly poised self.  Every time that Cye spoke, Sage seemed to be
utterly taken aback by his voice and his simple hand gestures.
    "Hey Rowen, what do you think is wrong with Sage?  He's never been this
clumsy," Ryo leaned over and whispered.  Rowen shrugged and continued to eat
his rice.  All of them watched Sage closely.  Usually, Sage was quite aware
when people watched him, but this time all of his senses seemed to be
completely off guard.
    Sage never ate fast, but today he beat Kento…and no one EVER did that!
So, he said quietly at the table and looked at his crumpled up napkin.  Sage
was quiet, but never THIS quiet.  Everyone was stunned at his unusual
behavior at lunch.
    "Sage?" Cye asked.  No answer.
    "Sage?" Cye called again.  Then Sage snapped his head up and said,
    "Huh?"
    "Do you want me to clear your plate?"  Sage nodded.  Cye walked around
the table, stood behind Sage, and picked up his plate.  Sage loved the way he
smelled.  When he felt Cye's warmth next to him, he almost wanted to lean
into him and taste his warm skin.  But he thought of all of the guys around
him.  He could wait to tell Cye when they were on their own.  It might be
hard, but he would do it tonight.
    Then suddenly his face began to flush.  Kento was the first one to look
over at him and wonder what was going on with Sage's sudden high blood flow
to the face.
    "Um, I'm gonna go up to my room and get ready to take a shower," Sage
said getting up from the table.  Everyone watched Sage get up from the table
and walk up the stairs.
    "Geez, I wonder what's up with him?" Kento asked.
    "He seems like he's almost sick somehow."  Cye looked up the stairs and
almost knew what Sage was going through.  He was lovesick.  Cye was feeling
that way, because when he was picking up Sage's plate, he almost wanted to
feel Sage against him.  But others were watching.
    "I'll go up there and see what's wrong," Cye said.  Cye walked up the
stairs slowly.  His heart was beating so fast that he heard the pounding of
his blood in his ears.  His breathing sped up and he almost turned back,
thinking of what might happen if he were with Sage alone.
    "Cye's good at this figuring out thing…Sage talks to Cye anyway, because
he feels comfortable telling him things," Ryo said.
    Cye went up and knocked on the door and took a deep breath.  When he hit
the wood of the door, the sound of his fist against the door almost seemed
too loud.
    "Sage, can I come in?"
    "Sure," came a muffled reply.  Cye pushed open the door quietly.  He
walked inside and saw Sage sitting on the bed staring down at his feet.
    "You mind if I sit down and you tell me what's wrong?"
    "I don't know if I can tell you right now."
    "Sure, you can tell me about anything."
    "This is something I've never felt before, and it's for someone that I've
known a long time."  Cye rested his cheek on his hand, and almost wanted to
blurt that he had feelings for Sage, but he didn't dare speak that.  Because
the object of Sage's affection could very well have been Ryo; that's what he
expected.
    "If you have no problem telling me who it is then maybe I can help."  He
heard Sage groan a little and shift on the bed uncomfortably.
    "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," Cye said rubbing him on
the back.  Just the mere touch of Cye's hand on his back sent shivers up and
down his spine.
    "Believe me I want to tell you so bad, but your reaction might not be
something that I could face right now."
    "What does it matter how I will react?" Cye asked.
    "Because what I want to tell you is all about you."  Sage looked up at
Cye's stunned face.  He almost wanted to kiss the mouth that was opened in a
silent gasp.
    "I knew I shouldn't have said that," Sage said looking down quickly.  The
swordsman's endearing shyness made Cye want him even more.  He looked over at
Sage's rose stained cheeks.
    "If I knew that you wanted me like this…I would have told you a long time
ago what I thought of having you as a lover."  Sage looked back over his
shoulder and saw that Cye's eyes had changed to a soft sea green.  The auburn
locks hanging in his eyes made his eyes stand out even more.  The smile on
Cye's face deserved to be kissed.
    Sage's posture straightened and he turned to kiss Cye.
    "Ah, relax…let me relieve the tension," Cye said placing a hand over
Sage's searching lips.  He lifted Sage's legs, put them on the bed, and
pushed Sage back on his bed.  He leaned over and kissed Halo's soft lips.
His soft auburn locks caressed the swordsman's porcelain face, causing Sage's
eyes to flutter shut.  The dream had finally become reality.  The wielder of
the adamatine trident had finally come to lay beside him and become apart of
him forever.  Faith and wisdom had met and were about to join.
    "You mean you want me just as much as I want you?" Sage said.
    "Maybe even more."
    "What if the guys come in here and see?"
    "It doesn't matter," Cye whispered. "Because it's all about you."  Cye
was directly over Sage now and burying his lips into Sage's ivory neck.
Cye's teeth nipped the soft skin of the swordsman's collarbone.  Sage placed
shaking hands into Cye's hair, flipping and folding his auburn curls around
his delicate fingers.
    Cye ran his tongue over Sage's collarbone, chin, behind his ear, and then
nuzzled his nose into Sage's honey tresses.  The smell of Sage was always so
intoxicating to Cye.  For so long he had wanted to be with Sage like this,
having Sage look at him and touch him with affection.  Then he slowly slid
his tongue into Sage's ear.  The sensation of Cye's warm, wet tongue on his
ear almost sent his body into spasms.
    "Oh, I haven't even begun," Cye whispered.  Sage wasn't sure what to
think or do.  He was so used to being in control of every situation.  He
didn't know that the soft-spoken warrior of the waters was so commanding when
it came to love.
    Cye stood up and left Sage's body hungering for his warmth.  Cye stood up
to take off his shirt.  He turned an eye over his shoulder to see that Sage
had already removed his.  One could only guess that Sage knew what was going
to happen next.  Cye undid his pants, because his erection could no longer
hide behind the denim of his pants.  Wriggling out of his jeans, he cast a
soft sea green gaze over at the quiet face of his blonde lover.  Striding
over to the side of the bed with matchless grace, Cye leaned down and pulled
Sage's drawstring pants down slowly and very gently.  Cye licked his lips
thoughtfully and stared at Sage's hardened length.  He didn't know that Sage
held that much desire in him for him.
    "All of this is for me?" Cye asked innocently.
    "Every inch of it," Sage breathed.
    "Well, isn't that quiet much," Cye laughed.  Sage breathed out a small
laugh, but was immediately sent into groans of pleasure when Cye's sweet, hot
mouth closed around his member.  Taking him in and down slowly, shaping his
hot length with his tongue, Cye wanted to do much more than just taste what
the warrior of Halo had inside of him.  He also wanted to feel what Sage had
inside of him.
    "Sage, I have something to ask of you."  Sage opened his eyes and nodded.
    "I want to make love to you."  Sage was almost stunned by the request,
because he thought that he would be the one to make love to the soft-spoken
warrior of the waters.  But like water, Cye was unpredictable and
fluid…making moves one would never expect.  Sage opened his mouth and said,
    "But I've wanted to do that for you."  Cye shook his head and said,
    "We can both do it, but I've wanted this for so long.  I think you'll
like what I'm about to do for you."  Sage nodded and relaxed himself and was
allowing himself to go with the flow.
    Cye pulled down his soft, light blue boxers and slowly positioned himself
between Sage's long, pale, muscular legs.  Holding his hardened length in his
hands, Cye looked over at the nightstand dresser.  He saw that Sage's stand
was covered with all types of exotic oils…take your pick.  Quietly reaching
over, he picked up a bottle of lilac colored oil.  He spread it liberally on
his hard penis; then he oiled up his fingers, placed them gently inside of
Sage, working the oil in.  Sage gasped when Cye's slender, but long fingers
probed him on the inside.  He worked his hips on Cye's rhythmically pumping
fingers.
    When Cye finally thought that Sage was nice and oiled up on the inside he
pushed Sage legs open with his hips.  Then he slowly and gently entered his
lover.  When he felt Sage's tight warmth close over him, he knew that no one
had ever explored Sage there before.  A small sound of surprise escaped Cye
at the feel of Sage's tightness.  Sage cried out and Cye plunged into him.
He bit his lips as a tear formed at the side of his eye, but Cye quickly
kissed it away.  Cye wrapped his hands around Sage's back and pressed them
chest to chest while he remained inside of him.  Cye pumped in steady even
strokes.  Sage cried out above him as his weight caused him to take in Cye's
entire length each time.
    "Oooh, Seiji," Cye breathed in his ear.  Sage hadn't heard anyone call
him that in a long time, but when he heard Cye say it, his name had never
sounded so beautiful.  Sage looked down and saw Cye's face pressed against
his chest and his mouth open in silent, breathy moans.  Cye swiveled below
him and held him down.  He was grinding on Sage.  He didn't even think that
Cye was capable of any of this.  Sage's erection was rubbing maddenly between
their two pressed bodies.  Sage knew that he was about to cum, and he didn't
want to.  Then he felt Cye's hands grip on his shoulders and they stopped for
a brief instant.  It was enough for Sage to feel Cye sweet release flowing
warm within him.  The sensation of Cye's warmth brought forth a feeling that
Sage had never felt before.  Cye placed his hand on Sage's sex and pumped it
in time with his still gyrating hips.  Sage threw his head back and his
vision went out for a fraction of a second.  He opened his eyes to find a
smiling Cye holding his crystal liquid covered member in his hand.  The
shining, white substance oozed between Cye's fingers and dribbled slowly over
Cye's knuckles.  Cye planted a soft kiss on Sage's stunned mouth.
    "How do you feel love?" Cye whispered.
    "Never better."  Cye lowered Sage to the bed slowly and caressed his warm
chest.  He placed fingers below Sage's chin and smiled at him.  When he
looked into Sage's violet colored eyes, he saw passion and satisfaction not
the normally cold set look.  Cye's eyes had changed a peaceful sea blue as he
smiled down at Sage.  He waited and watched his lover's violet eyes close in
a blissful slumber.  Cye slid on his clothes silently and then placed the
covers over Sage's bare body.  Just as he was about to leave out of the door,
Sage said,
    "I love you."  Cye turned, smiled, and said,
    "But not half as much as I love you."  Sage drifted back off to sleep as
he closed the door quietly.  When he got outside, he leaned against the door
and smiled.
    "So!" Kento's voice rang out. "Is the problem solved?"  Cye looked and
saw the others behind him watching and listening attentively.
    "Problem solved," Cye said and quietly walked down the hall to his room.
 

Hope that others will enjoy!!!  (Lot more where this came from)
