~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
note: Well now...Yuli and DAIS?
What is this? I'm sure you're
wondering how that happened.
I don't know, either. Anyhoo, this
story is turning out to be appropriately
named cuz Ryo just pulled
another shocking twist on me
that I didn't expect...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mia snugged her silky
robe closed about her and slipped out into
the hall. She'd stayed up later than she'd
intended... How could she
have slept when Rowen's room was right next to
hers and those
wonderfully incriminating noises had filtered,
however muffled,
through the wall? Images of the archer
and Sage in the midst of
numerous carnal acts had filled her head along
with the sounds of
pleasure and had made touching herself all the
more ecstatic an
experience. Too bad she'd had no one to
share it with. Damn Ryo
and his outdated chivalrous attitude!
She stepped over the
scattered bits of clothing still littering the
floor, giggling at the sight. Sage and
Rowen either didn't care
anymore if anyone knew, or they'd been so hot
for each other last
night that they couldn't keep their clothes on
until they were safely
sequestered behind Rowen's door. As she
came to Rowen's room,
Mia paused. Then, hentai that she was,
she hurried back to her
room and grabbed her camera. This was too
good an opportunity
to miss!
Slowly and silently,
Mia inched Rowen's bedroom door open
and peeked inside. Yes! They were
still asleep. Mia tiptoed inside,
across the thick carpet and stood beside the
bed.
The blankets were a mess,
barely covering anything. Rowen's
rear was bared and she drooled. Damn, but
those cheeks looked
just *too* squeezable! The fact that Sage's
hand slipped over his
partner's hip to do just that as she watched
left her ready to explode
from an overload of giddiness. Lifting
her camera, Mia found Sage
suddenly blinking up at her.
"What are you doing?"
he inquired, his eyes lazy. Before he
could get any farther, though-
"Smile!" Click. Flash.
As she bolted out of
the bedroom, she heard Sage yelling after
her, "MIA!"
Shoving past Ryo, who
stood sleep-rumpled and puzzled in his
doorway, and into *his* room, she started digging
through his
closet. He just turned around to watch
her as she struggled to bury
her camera where Sage couldn't get his hands
on it. That negative
was *hers* and blondie and little boy blue were
NOT getting it.
"Did I miss something?"
Ryo finally asked when she closed the
door to his closet.
Smiling at him, she replied,
"Yes. Whatever you do, don't let
Sage get hold of that camera. Or Rowen."
Waiting for his
confused nod of agreement, Mia continued, "Now,
I've gotta make
sure Yuli's okay. He still wasn't in by
the time I got to sleep."
"Mia, he's eighteen.
When are you gonna stop looking in on
him?"
"Well, I didn't stop
checking on you guys until you were
twenty."
Ryo stared at her in
shock. She'd checked on him and the guys?
Until they were twenty?! "So...you're saying...he's
got two years
until you'll stop?"
"Exactly!" Mia
bounced past Ryo and into the hall. He shook
his head, long black locks falling in his face,
then wandered off to
secure the bathroom before Sage.
He caught a glimpse of
himself in the mirror and made a face
before stripping down to nothing. In the
morning, he was not a
pretty sight. The water was cranked up
to full blast at the hottest
he could get and his skin just starting to scald
to a bright, cheerful
red when he heard it.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"
Mia!
Ryo made to jump out
of the shower, but slipped on the yellow
bar of soap that had landed on the floor of the
tub. He slammed a
shoulder painfully into the tiled wall and slowly
climbed out onto
the deep maroon bath rug before grabbing a towel
and wrapping it
about his waist. Dripping and soapy, Wildfire
stumbled out into the
hall and hurried toward Mia, barely noticing
Sage, hastily covered
in a robe, and the others were also headed in
the same direction.
"Oh my *GOD*!!!
...Dais?! What the *hell* are you doing in
MY Yuli's bed?!?!" Mia howled, seeming weak in
the knees and on
the verge of collapse, mental and physical.
Ryo choked and almost
fell over dead right there. In a short
matter of moments, he was a part of the gaggle
of oglers that stood
dumbfounded, staring at the sight before them.
There was no
doubting the identity of the white-haired man
that was obviously
feeling very cozy with his bedmate.
"Uh," Dais started, squinting
against the brightness of the hall
light, "he invited me?"
"I told you it would
get a better reaction," came another, sleepy
voice. Yuli, draping a comfortable arm
over Dais' bare chest and
gazing at his friends over a shoulder, grinned
slyly at two of the
slack-jawed watchers and, changing the subject,
said, "Why,
Sage...what are you doing wearing Rowen's robe?
And
Rowen...are those Sage's distinctive green silk
boxers I see on
you?"
Everyone turned to look.
Rowen was quite red in the face, a
fact he promptly attempted to hide in the fuzzy,
deep blue
terrycloth of his robe (or Sage's back, depending
how you looked at
it) and Sage seemed to be trying to ignore the
whole thing.
"Damn, you got me on
that one!" Dais exclaimed, drawing their
attention away from the discomfited couple.
"Pay up," Yuli returned.
"No. You have to be right on everything to win the bet."
"Screw the bet! I want something *now*, old man."
A high, keening whine
sounded from Mia as the group gave in
to voyeuristic tendencies and watched as Yuli
eased their former
enemy into an ever-deepening liplock.
"I need to go now, "
Kento mumbled, as he rushed his way
downstairs. Cye was right behind him, dragging
a now thoroughly
disillusioned Mia with him.
Sage and Rowen took this
as their chance to escape the coming
Inquisition, at least for a while, and vanished
back into the archer's
room.
Ryo stood in Yuli's doorway,
overcome with the scene that had
begun to move undoubtedly beyond a kiss.
He watched avidly as
Dais' long, slender hands traced soft patterns
across the
well-defined muscles of his young friend's strong
back. As one of
those hands trailed under the covers and Yuli
voiced a soft gasp
against Dias' mouth, Ryo licked at his lips and
said, "I-I think I'll
just close the door and leave you two alone."
The click seemed loud
on his ears. Knob still in his hand, Ryo
grew very aware of how the drape of his towel
had changed. He
didn't think anyone had noticed...god, he *hoped*
no one had
noticed. Well, he hadn't finished his shower,
so he could take care
of business there.
Stumbling over a bit
of his evidence against Sage and Rowen (a
stunning, deep blue shirt of silk), Ryo hurried
back to the bathroom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"My baby...my little
Yuli..." Mia pouted as she sat at the kitchen
table. She played with a tall glass that
contained only the last drip
of milk to swirl around the bottom. "What
happened?"
"He grew up," Cye told
her quietly, placing a gentle hand on her
shoulder. "Although, one could wonder how
he ended up with
Dais. I would have thought we'd catch him
with Shiho, what with
way he always goes on about her."
"But Dais? Why
him? I thought he was in the Nether Realm.
How did he end up in my Yuli's bed?" Mia whimpered,
hands
leaving the glass to pull at her hair now.
"If Dais is to be believed, Yuli wanted him there."
"Yeah, the brat didn't
seem like he minded too much," Kento
added, digging through the refrigerator.
"Kinda reminded me of
Sage and Rowen on the morning after, the way
Yuli was sprawled
all over Dais."
Cye frowned. "Kento..."
"What?"
Mia sobbed. "Why *Dais*?!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Everyone knows now,"
Rowen sighed, leaning back into Sage's
embrace. He sat cuddled close to his partner
on the bed, feeling
somewhat despondent.
"At least no one took
off running in terror like you thought they
would," Sage laughed softly into the nose-tickling
blue hair.
"That's because they
were all still in shock from Yuli's little
surprise!"
"I admit the subject
could have been brought up in a kinder
fashion but there's no use in crying over it.
What's happened has
happened." Sage fingered the waist of the
boxers Rowen was
wearing, which - as Yuli had so graciously pointed
out - were
actually his. "A good deal of it is our
own fault, too."
Rowen's eyebrows rose
high into his hair. "*You're* the one
that couldn't keep your damn hands off me!"
"Oh, so I guess those
weren't *your* grubby little fingers that
ripped *my* clothes off last night?"
"Damn right!" he grinned,
then sighed. "Ryo's gonna run us
through the ringer, y'know."
"Yes, I know. I wouldn't expect anything less."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yuli giggled as Dais
brushed his fingertips lightly over the highly
ticklish spot on his left side. "Stop that!"
He batted away the hand
then grabbed a handful of the long white hair
and wound it around
his own fingers. "So, who do you think
will walk in on Ryo?"
"Considering that both
of them are also upstairs, I would think it
would be either Sage or Rowen?"
"Are you asking me, or is that your answer?"
"You decide," Dais replied.
"Mmmm, I hope it's Rowen.
That would be the *most* fun. I
don't think Cye's even noticed how Ryo's been
checking the Blue
One out lately," Yuli grinned.
Dais chuckled.
"Yes, that would be fun. Now," he said, pulling
Yuli's mouth down toward his own, "where were
we?"
"Right about here," Yuli
breathed against his lips, freeing his
hand from the Dais' silken curls and running
it down the length of
the former Warlord's sleek body.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ryo flipped his wet hair
back to slap against his nape and let the
water splash over face as his hand drifted down
to toy with himself.
Leaning forward, Ryo braced himself with an arm
against the tile.
The water ran over his skin, the pounding on
the tile sweet on his
ears. He soon enough turned from the teasing
touches and took
himself in a firm grip. Slow, always slow,
at first. His breath was
coming in soft pants now. "Mia..."
Involved as he was, Ryo
didn't hear the door open or close as
someone else entered the bathroom.
"Are you still in the shower, Ryo?"
He nearly fell from shock.
Struggling to breathe normally, Ryo
croaked, "Rowen?"
"Yeah. Are you okay in there?"
"I-I'm fine," he answered,
his eyes open wide as he silently
pleaded with whatever divine power was listening
that Rowen
would leave...quickly. Almost absently,
Ryo stroked himself once,
then twice, barely keeping himself silent.
The curtain was pulled
back a little as Rowen looked in on him.
"Are you su..." he trailed as he saw what he'd
caught Ryo in the act
of, "...re?" Rowen had the decency to blush
at this point. "So...
Who's that for?" he asked lamely. He winced
at his own tactless
question and forced his curious eyes to focus
solely on Ryo's rather
white face. Of course his face is white,
Rowen thought, all his
blood is in another part of his body. "I'll
go now."
As Rowen turned away,
Ryo grabbed one of his thin wrists and
pulled him back around. "I-I'm s-sorry."
Rowen almost laughed.
"For what? *I* walked in on *you*!
Albeit, this is a rather embarrassing situation,
but I'm the one at
fault here. Please, contin- uh, yeah...
I'm going now."
Thoughts then spilled
through Ryo's mind faster than they ever
had before. Images. Rowen.
Himself. He'd seen what effect Sage
had on his definitely ravishable friend.
Maybe...maybe he could
bring that same deep glaze of lust to the indigo
eyes? He had done
it before, in his dreams. Mia, she was
too good for him - way out
of his league. Maybe Sage would consent
to share? The other had
almost reached the door when Ryo suddenly spoke
up, "Ro?"
"Yeah?"
"What's it like to ...you know... with another guy?"
Rowen felt his chin drop
and was certain everyone downstairs
heard its impact with the floor. "Why?"
There was silence for
a long time before Ryo tentatively started.
"You know I've got this...thing for Mia, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, um, well...Cye doesn't necessarily see everything."
"What are you talking
about?" Rowen felt his insides start to
quiver.
Ryo steadied himself
with a deep breath. This was *not* going
to be easy. "Um, I know what Cye's been
trying to do with Mia
and me... But, um, I don't think he took
into account that I've been
watching you, too."
Rowen was speechless.
He blinked in stunned disbelief. Ryo
hadn't just said...he couldn't have. No,
Ryo wanted Mia. *He*
was with Sage. He obviously wasn't hearing
right.
"Rowen, I-I know you're
with Sage. I've seen how good you
two are together. I don't want to mess
that up...but, just once,
maybe...would you let me love you?"
The last few words tumbled
from Ryo's wavering lips in such a
quiet haste that the archer wasn't sure he heard
them. He could
hear his heart pounding and feel the increased
heat in his cheeks.
"What did you say?"
"Please?"
Rowen turned around and
saw Ryo had stepped out of the
shower. Wildfire stood, baring his heart
(among other things) to
his friend as steam billowed out from the streaming
water of the
shower. Okay, maybe he *was* hearing things
right.
