windandwaterJust for you, Asuka-sama. Even though I think it sucks... a lot.
When Duo finally woke, the night had fully settled over the forest. He stretched and then blinked in shock. Looking down he saw the ragged ends of rope that had been tied around his arms. Somewhere during their frantic coupling, the Feline must have clawed through the ropes and not noticed it. Duo could only lay on the pallet, hearing Heero's soft breaths beside him, and stare at his free hands.
Free.
He was free.
This was his chance, a small part of the Feline's mind crowed. Now he could leave this godsforsaken den and be free again. Never again would he have to submit to that foolish Lupine! In the dark night, with Heero deeply asleep -- he must have been exhausted and Duo took a certain amount of pride in that -- it would be simple for Duo to slink away and dissappear forever. Duo shifted, raising one edge of the furs to slip out of the bed.
Heero whimpered.
Duo froze in place, wondering if the Lupine had sensed him leaving. Heero had obscenely fast reflexes, and Duo didn't relish the thought of being attacked. But there was no sudden blur of motion, just the quiet creak of the wooden pallet as Heero tucked himself into a ball, tail curling around his legs. He whimpered in his sleep again, and Duo couldn't help but focus on the picture Heero made, huddled like a lost cub in the furs. Duo's gaze swept around the den... the sheer starkness of it emphasizing the Lupine's solitary and lonely life.
The Feline frowned, remembering what it was like to be alone... to always be on your guard because no one cared for you. He had to admit that his time with Heero wasn't so bad. He was fed. He was warm. The sex was amazing. Heero was even a decent conversationalist when he wasn't snarling like a rabid dog. The only real gripe Duo had was the Lupine's propensity to keep him tied up. The Feline cast his glace at the entryway and the heavy leather drape hanging over it. Just a few steps and he could savor his freedom.
He could wallow in his lonliness.
Duo huffed, sliding back into the bed and pulling the furs up over his shoulders. It was cold outside... and dark... and he had no supplies. It would be a better idea for him to bide his time, to make sure that Heero would not notice immediately that he was missing and hunt him down. The Feline was no fool... it would be insane to wander around a territory he was unfamiliar with, espicially since Heero's little bit of land was surrounded on all sides by hostile Lupine Packs. Yes, it would be a better idea if he waited for a little bit.
As his eyes drifted shut, Duo was barely aware of the fact that he had curled up close to Heero, pressing his front tightly against the Lupine's muscled back. The Feline purred, rubbing his cheek against a conveinient shoulder, his arms slipping easily around Heero's waist as the Lupine uncurled from whatever dream he was having.
It was warmer this way anyway, Duo's last thought was. It doesn't mean anything... nothing at all...
