TIME) takes place after the third Manga, episode
three.

Tea Time

�OK well sign here, and remember please take good care of her,� Leon heard the
words with a mixture of apprehension and curiosity. �what
was D up to?� He saw the family leaving the petshop, they seemed like a
normal happy family with a new pet. Looks could be deceiving. He stepped in
front of the little boy carrying a large cage, �may I?�

        Leon
lifted the corner of the cover before the boy could answer, �Oh a cockatoo,� Leon looked up
to find that he had earned the Count�s attention. The Count was smiling at him.
It was his usual Charming smile. Charming, always.

        Oh, Hello Officer, it must be
Tea Time.� Count D said and turned to collect his tea set of the day.

        �Why do you say that?� Leon asked,
although a glance at his watch showed that it was half past noon.

        �Because you always manage to
show up at tea time,� D smiled and began to set the table.

        �I brought some of that mousse
from La Blanche, You can have it, If you want.� Leon sat the
package on the table. The last Time he�d brought D mousse, he had ended up eating
it himself.

        �Oh of
course.� D scooped some of the mouse into a dish and began to eat. After
a while he looked up to find Leon
staring at him. �Is something wrong?�

        Leon quickly looked away, �No,
nothing, eat your pudding.� Leon
grumbled without looking up again. When Leon did look up again it was to
find the large Sheep creature sitting in D�s lap. Lately it had been there
almost as often as Q-Chan. �What do you call that thing?�

        �Tot-Chan,� D answered. He
lowered his face to within an inch of the creatures and nuzzled it�s fur. It was then that Leon noticed the teeth. �You seem
distracted officer, is every thing going well at the station?�

        Leon looked away from the creature,
�sheep?� �What? Oh yes every thing is fine.� �he
didn�t even seem upset about Wong, but when I got here...� Leon looked
again at D his puzzled frown getting worse as D blithely spooned his mouse
between his perfectly lacquered lips. �That day, their -date- he touched D, Why
am I so... Jeal...� Leon could not bear to finish the
thought.

        Count D smiled as he finished
his first bowl of mousse, �Shall I burn some incense, it has been known to calm
nerves,� Leon
was struck by the sweet smile that crossed D�s face.

        �One of these days I�m going to
bust your ass for that stuff.� Leon
said absently, �what was D doing with Wong when I got here? His dress was open,
as if...� Leon
shook the thought, it disturbed him too much.

        The bell above the door chimed
and D looked up to see a worried young lady enter the shop. She was beautiful, her long red hair seemed on fire in the dim light
of the shop. D set Tot-Chan on the floor and patted his rump before heading
over to the young woman. �Hello again Miss Janet, how may I help you?�

        Leon tried top shut out the Images
of D with his clothing undone, lying underneath Wong. �If I hadn�t gotten here
in time... What was D doing? Was he so smitten that he would have let Wong eat
him? After the way he behaved on Christmas, he could have had Wong tied in
knots.� Leon
looked down to see Tot-Chan staring at him. It seemed as if the creature were
somehow familiar, it�s eyes seemed to know too much.

        �Yes, it�s fine,� D was saying
as he walked the young lady to the door. �Yes, yes, when they are ready to
breed they often become moody, no, no, I�m sure she
doesn�t hate you.� D reassured her as she left the shop. D returned to the
table and bent to retrieve Tot-Chan.
Leon�s
expression turned thunderous as he stood and slammed from the petshop. D held Tot-Chan closer to him and wondered what
had upset Leon
so badly.

        Leon stormed down the sidewalk full
of disgust. Disgust with D for falling for a murderer, and for not seeming to
care that he was dead, Disgust with Tot-Chan for staring at him as if he
knew...And most of all, disgust at himself for
enjoying the view of D bent over.

Tea Time
: Part Two ( After the Wong/Totestu incident)
�Now what does
the chief want me to keep bringing the Count gifts for?� were Leon�s first words to his fellow
detective.

        She shrugged her shoulders and
said, �maybe he knows you miss him.�

        �Why would I miss him?� Leon crossed
his arms and thought back. This past week he had been kind of disgruntled. Some
rare creature was in labor and could not be moved to the shop so D had gone and
assisted. He had been spending a lot of time with Chris and not a lot of time
on the field.

        The other detective looked in
his car where Chris was sitting. Next to him on the seat was a box of what
looked to be a mountain of sweets. �It was Chris� idea.� Leon mumbled
before he got into the car and drove away.

        D smiled as Leon and Chris
entered the shop. �Ah my dear Detective good afternoon, and
sweet Chris, thank you so much for feeding my animals.� Leon was taken
aback to see Chris run up and embrace the Count. He fought the urge to do the
same. �What was wrong with him� he frowned as D made his way over to the
mountain of sweets that Leon and Chris had sat on a table.

        �For me?�
He smiled sweetly as Chris made his way through one of the doors to go swimming
with Phillipe. Thinking of hugs Leon frowned as
he remembered the Count hurling himself into his arms when the psycho had
accosted him. If he allowed himself to dwell on it he would admit that he
enjoyed it.

        Count D�s smile irked Leon. It was
always there, always charming. Damn him! Leon wished there were something he
could do to shock that smile right off of his face. �Wait a minute.� Leon thought as
he edged closer to the Count. D looked up to find Leon nearly at his elbow. Leon took the
tea tray away from him. �Let me,� Leon sat the tray on the table and
took D into his arms. D�s eyes widened and Leon smiled, �I got him� he
thought.

        �Uh... Detective?�
D placed his hands on Leon�s
shoulders to push him away. Leon
crushed his arms so he had no leverage. D still seemed calm, How far did he
have to go to shock him. To shake that unshakable calm.
Leon
narrowed his eyes. �Oh well here goes,� He thought as he lowered his head and
melded his lips to the Count�s. He felt the Count gasp and smiled as he
deepened the kiss.

        D stopped trying to push Leon away and
held him close. Somewhere in the back of Leon�s mind was a protest. He
should not be doing this, �this is was wrong, why is he responding to me as
if...� Leon
shoved the Count away and strode from the shop. �keep
an eye on Chris for me, I already told him I have to work.� Leon left D
gasping and leaning against his table.

        Leon stormed to his car and sped
away. �When had he stopped trying to shock the Count and started to please
himself?� �Why had that pleased him so much?� He looked down at his lap in
Disgust as he went on down the road.

With Sugar On Top...
Of all the
days to be having issues, Leon
thought with a frown, today was not one of them. Today was a day for confidence
and bravery. Today was a day to send your brother off to camp and not want to
get into a disguise and follow him. "My dear Detective," Leon cringed at
the deep sensual voice that could be heard from across the table. "He will
only be gone a week, and if it will make you feel better, Q-Chan has agreed to
go along and protect him." D extended one long slim finger and stroked the
little babbit's furry head. For a moment, Leon was
entranced by the long perfectly polished nail.
For some odd
reason, even though Q-Chan had to be about three inches high, D's assurances
seemed to quell any lingering fear he had which was a good thing he supposed as
he heard his brother running around the corner. -D!!!, thank you so much,
when Leon said I should go to camp, and you found one that allowed animals I
was so happy, and T-Chan said he will come with me as well.-
"Well
Chris," D said. "It is a camp for children and their pets. And Q-Chan
will accompany you as well, just to make sure that T-Chan doesn't eat
anyone." D said very low so that only Leon could hear him. Leon did not
want to laugh. Hell he should be arresting D for some of the crazy shit he sold
and yet, as he looked at those oddly colored eyes and perfect lips and watched
as that compact little body... NO! Not a woman. Leon reminded himself as his mood
got worse.
-Hey Bro! -
Chris was practically bouncing up and down. Tetsu
held Chris' bag in his mouth and glared at Leon. Leon had a feeling that if his mouth
were not already full, the damn Goat would be chewing on his leg. -Will you
miss me, while I'm gone?-
Leon ruffled Chris' hair,
"Of course I'll miss you." Leon opened the door, "now
come on, it's time to take you to the camp grounds, we have a long drive ahead
of us."
-D, come
with us please- Chris looked at the shocked look on D and Leon's faces. �
Please Leon,
can D come too?-
"I don't
see why not, come on D, shut the shop for a bit and come see Chris off."
"Well, I
suppose one day off will be fine." D said as locked the shop. He noted
T-Chan's growling as Leon
took the bag and placed it in the car. "T-Chan, no eating..." D
sighed and gave up; it would be up to Q-Chan to control the man eater for a
week. If D were honest, a vacation was definitely in order.
Leon ran around to unlock
the door for D after he had buckled Chris in. He leaned close to D and inhaled.
Leon
closed his eyes for a moment as his senses were assailed with some exotic
floral scent. It was not incense or perfume, it was not remotely feminine it
was just, D. Leon realized he was just standing there sniffing D, like some
horny bloodhound and felt shame curdle to the depths of his heart. D was not a
woman he had to remind himself. With a strength of
will he did not know he possessed, Leon opened the door and stepped
aside. Today was not the day to have issues, he thought firmly as he started
the car and set off down the road.
Leon decided that if he
focused on the road ahead, he would not focus on the man sitting beside him in
the car. The man that smelled good... Damn good. Leon inhaled and caught a fresh
wave of that scent. What was it? Some sort of pheromones or... �Leon!� The car
lurched as Leon
realized he had veered into oncoming traffic and a semi was bearing down on
them. Leon
swerved and missed catastrophe, the blaring of the semi's horn could be heard
down the road. D's eyes were wide with fright as he stared incredulously at Leon.
�We're almost
there.� Leon
said and tried not to look at the incredulous look that covered D's face. Shit,
Leon
thought to himself, he nearly killed them all because he had been sniffing D.
What had he been reduced to? Ever since he had kissed him all those weeks ago,
and gotten the worse boner he'd had since high school, his mind had gone off in
places he did not want it to go in. Sending Chris to Camp was the perfect
excuse to stay away from the shop for a while. At least until he could look at
D and not want to rip his dress off and...
�Leon, That was the exit I believe.� Leon followed on long fingernail to
see the exit passing them by.
�I can circle
around and get off at the right spot again.� Leon blustered and concentrated
even harder on the road before him.
D sighed and
tried not to smile. His dear detective had been more than a little distracted lately.
And D had to admit, he too had been a bit off. Why just last week he had nearly
sold T-Chan. This game that he and Leon had been playing was getting to be too
much. It was swerving very fast into realms that D had never thought to travel.
Never wanted to. He had been desired before, this is
true. Over the years many had professed love for him, desire, the need to
possess or be possessed by him. But D had never before been tempted, never
before wanted.
-Hey D!- D was jolted from his musing by Chris' excited chatter. -We're
here, we're here!- D blinked and exited the car,
clearing his head of all thoughts of Leon. He avoided the knowing glance
from Q-Chan. And followed Leon and Chris up the hill to the
camp.
Leon looked around for the
most likely suspect. Having found a counselor he pulled him aside and
instructed Chris to run off and make a few friends. �Hi! Campers call me
Squirrel.� Leon
forced a smile at the young man standing before him. His long brown hair pulled
back into a pony tail. The counselor looked Leon over and grinned before
sticking out his hand. �What can I do you for?� He asked cheerfully.
Leon looked into the bright
blue eyes and wondered if the guy was naturally this happy, or if he had some
of D's incense. Of their own accord, Leon's eye's sought out the slight
figure in deep blue patterned silk. Squirrel followed his line of vision. He
saw D bent over talking to Chris and whistled. �Hot stuff, you've snagged
yourself a hot Asian babe, congrats.�
�We're not
dating, and that's not a woman, look I just wanted to talk to you about my
Brother, Chris. He can't speak, but he is a good kid, kind of sensitive.� Leon said his
face turning red as he saw D smile at Chris and felt his heart miss a beat. He
was just too damned pretty. Leon
grew disgruntled. Hot Asian Babe my ass!, Leon
thought with a frown.
�A bit of a
crybaby eh?� Squirrel said. Leon
waited patiently and he was not disappointed. Squirrel yowled as T-Chan sank
his fangs into his leg.
�Oh yeah, and
that is his Goat thing, A gift from D. Name's T-Chan. I swear it's freaky how that things seems to understand English.� Leon said with
a grin.
�T-Chan,� D
rushed forward, �Release him immediately." T-Chan let go of a yowling
Squirrel, and D scooped him up into his arms. �I am so sorry, sir, please
forgive him. he is very volatile, but you need not
worry, he will behave himself, or come right back home.�
�you know, I'm not gay, but right now I don't care, what's
your name?� Squirrel stopped rubbing his leg and reached for D's free hand.
�Allow me to say...� Squirrel looked around to make sure none of his superiors
were in ear shot. �That you are the most Beautiful
person I have seen in a very long time. My real name's Ethan.�
�About my
brother,� Leon
ground out and shoved D behind him. T-Chan seemed to smile at him as D set him
down. T-Chan ran off to find Chris who seemed to be trying to communicate with
a dark skinned little blond boy.
�We'll take
good care of him and his Goat.� Squirrel assured Leon and smiled again at D. D
blushed as Squirrel winked at him before he walked away.
-D! Big Bro!- D and Leon turned to see Chris running towards them dragging the
blond boy. -Tell him my name, he said his name is Bikky and he's originally
from New York, and he lives with two
detectives and they just got transferred here to California, and-
�Whoa, Calm
down squirt.� Leon
said and looked at the little boy with Chris. So you have met my kid brother,
his name is Chris, he can't speak, so you mind looking after him for me?�
�Sure, he
likes my dog, I got him when we moved here, Ryo said I
might need a friend.� Bikky said �But Carol's aunt is here and that's where she
moved so I'm fine, but I'll take care of your squirt for you. Whoa, MR.
Your wife is so pretty.� Bikky's eyes had turned into
wide saucers as he got a good look at D.
�Thanks,� Leon mumbled as
a tall black haired man came up.
�Hey, I'm Dee Laytner,
hope that little brat is not bothering you.�
�Shut up you
big gorilla.� Bikky said and looked around. �There's Ryo!� Bikky waved a sandy
haired man over.
�The kid tells
me you're Detectives...From New York.� Leon said as he shook their hands.
�Randy, or Ryo?� D asked. It was the first time he had spoken
and Bikky looked in awe at D.
�It's both
actually, I'm part Japanese, so I answer to both names.�
Ryo said and smiled as he shook D's hand, careful not to squeeze the delicate
appendage too hard.
�The
counselors are herding the Kids that way, so I guess we have to get going.� Leon said. He
ruffled Chris' hair and stepped back as Chris threw his arms around D. D patted
his head and sat Q-Chan on his shoulder.
�Make sure
T-Chan behaves.� D said to Q-Chan before he followed Leon to the car.
�Sure we can
join you for coffee, or well, D'll just have Tea and
a bowl of whatever the sweetest dessert is, but yeah, it'll be fine.� D heard Leon saying. He
tried to ignore, the fondness that seemed to creep into Leon's voice.
�We're going
somewhere?� D asked politely, not sure he appreciated the way Leon made a
decision with out consulting him. But if he were honest, he did want dessert.
�Just follow us, I know a great place.� Leon was saying to Dee.
His eyes roamed D one last time before Dee and
Ryo got into their new Escalade. It was a gift from the last PD because they
had to be transferred. Who would have known that Leo�s mob friends would come
after them? But California was fine, and they
were close to Chinatown, having friends there
already made a lot of difference. D stood patiently by Leon�s car his
hands clasped demurely in front of him. Leon opened the door and this time
instead of stepping away, he stepped closer. There it was, that scent. Leon had to
force himself not to nuzzle that milk white neck. He breathed in cooling air
and shuffled to his side of the car.
D sat in the
car, a puzzled frown on his face. �Detective,� D said some time after they had
been on the road. �I can not help but wonder at your absentmindedness lately,
it is worse than usual. And just before we got into the car...well... Were you
sniffing me?�
�Serves you
right for wearing perfume,� Leon
grumbled, his face turning red. An oncoming car�s headlights showed his blush
to D.
�Excuse me
but, I don�t wear any such thing.� D said and brought a slim hand up to smooth
his impeccable hair.
Leon pulled into the
parking lot of the coffee house he had been headed to. Instead of getting out
of the car he turned to face D. �You�re kidding me right?�
D�s eyes
widened as Leon
leaned over and placed his nose near his ear. D inhaled sharply and wondered
why it was so difficult to breath. Why the car was suddenly so warm. �Leon!� D opened
the door and practically jumped out. Leon was disappointed that the
smell had vanished and confused at his reaction to D. Leon exited his car as
Ryo and Dee pulled up and parked. Leon marched over to D. �That can�t
be natural.� He said with a frown as he leaned closer to D. �You smell too damn
good for that to be natural...And how come I never smelled it before?�
D wondered why
Leon
was getting so angry. �Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about.� D
stepped away and smiled at Dee and Ryo.
Ryo glared at Dee before he stalked towards the door of the coffee
house. Inside was a dark interior with a myriad of round tables. Each table was
covered with a darkly colored velvet cloth and a candle. The group on the stage
was getting ready for a break as the lead singer ended her last notes, her eyes
scanned the crowd. Leon
frowned; usually he would have found her hot. She had long curly hair, and deep
brown skin. He could not make out her eyes, but he knew she was pretty. A
squeal brought him from his reverie as she dashed from the stage and headed
towards them. �D!� she threw her arms around his slight shoulders and Leon noted that
she was maybe an inch or two taller than D.
�Andy, I
thought that was you.� D said and embraced the girl. Leon had never seen D embrace
anyone other than his animals, and Chris. He turned his frown on the young
woman.
�You�ve come
to see us perform?� She asked. She looked at Leon and smiled. He noted that her
eyes were a deep brown and smiled. She was indeed pretty. How did she know D?
�I have to go take a break now, or Nes. Will try to
strangle me, Promise you�ll stay after the show...and the Fishbowl is coming
around.� She impulsively kissed D�s cheek before scampering away in much the same
was as a child would.
Dee looked over at Ryo who sat away from him at the table
they had been shown to. The table had a good view of the Stage. �Why did you
sit way over there?� Dee asked Ryo who smiled tightly and glared at Dee.
Ryo looked
across at the small Chinese man who sat beside Dee
and said, �I thought you wanted to sit next to him.�
D looked up
startled, �excuse me.�
�Oh come on,� Dee exclaimed. �You can not be serious, first Diana, then
J.J. now this. Honestly Ryo, I should be mad at you for thinking it. I said he
was pretty, not that I wanted to get with him.�
�And as always
you have no tact. Please excuse him D.� Ryo said as he noticed D�s heightened
color
�Since you�re
over there,� Leon said to Dee. �Do me a favor and tell me if he is wearing
perfume.�
D Stood from
the table before Dee could sniff him. �I am
not wearing perfume, I never have and I never will. I do not know what smell
you are talking about, I smell the same as I always have. I am being called to
the stage, please excuse me.� D walked gracefully away. Leon could not
help but appreciate the view of that small backside as it made its way to Andy.
�You didn�t
have to get close to him, but you could smell it right, kind of floral, and
sweet.� Leon
said a thoughtful frown on his face. Ryo looked at him oddly before he got up
and sat in D�s vacant seat next to Dee.
�Hi, everyone,
we are back.� Andy said into the microphone. �I know that we are supposed to be
doing request from the fishbowl, it is still coming around and we will do as many
as we have time for, but I now have a request, dedication of my own and I hope
you bear with me.� Andy pulled D onto the stage and sat him o her stool. �When
I needed help, you were there for me, thank you. I remember you said to me that
the only Asian songs I knew were in Japanese, but your native tongue is
Mandarin Chinese. And so for you, I have learned a song in Mandarin Chinese. Daphnus, Nes, Angel,� Andy nodded
and several members of the band began to play a hauntingly beautiful melody.
Andy began to
sing, and Leon
saw no one on the stage, but D. He looked so enraptured at the words. Leon knew it
was a love song and yet he did not understand a word of what she said. When she
was done the crowd stood to their feet with applause. Andy embraced D, before
he was helped from the stage. D returned to the table and paused as he saw Ryo
in his seat. With a sigh he sat beside Leon. �How do you know her and her
band?�
�The entire
group is called X�Ta-C, they are not exactly from
here, and I did a favor for them once, a perfectly legal favor.� D said as he
recognized Leon�s
suspicious look. D quieted down as a short blond girl walked over to their
table and handed them note cards and pens. �Chimeara how nice to see you again.�
�Hello D,� She
smiled at D and addressed the table. �Just write down a song request and put it
in the fishbowl, if it is a song we know, we will perform it, if you would like
to add a dedication, it will be read.�
�You won�t be
singing will you,� D said with mock horror on his face.
�Shut up D.� Chimeara smiled. �Just for that, I should sing a song and
dedicate it to you. Then everyone in the audience will never forgive you for
abusing their ears.� He laughed and sauntered away leaving her fishbowl behind
to be collected later. What was this? Leon wondered. D? Teasing? Leon had never
thought to see this side of D. He liked it.
The coffee,
tea and dessert arrived and Ryo looked at Dee
as the waitress left. �I�m sorry,� he said. �I just...When you said it...I had
to agree and...�
�Don�t worry
about it means you care.� Dee smiled and
leaned over, he kissed Ryo. Ryo and Dee separated as a clatter f a spoon being
dropped could be heard. Leon
had dropped his spoon halfway to his mouth; he sat staring open-mouthed at Ryo
and Dee. D politely looked away.
�What?� Dee asked, �I�m sure you two have your fair amount of
PDA�s, when you gotta, you gotta,
you know.� Dee said.
�No!� Leon said.
�He�s not a she, despite the beautiful face. I like she...I
mean girls...no.� Leon
became flustered as still D said nothing. Leon had said he was beautiful. D
was unprepared for his reaction to that simple statement. His mouth became dry, he gulped his tea, despite the heat, hoping for the
jasmine to calm him. �When you said you were partners I thought you meant on
the force, you know, detectives.�
�We are, as
well as a couple, it does not affect our work,� Ryo said. �Sorry if we thought
you two, I mean the looks between you, and I thought you were kissing in the
car when we pulled up.�
�No, I was not
kissing him, I was sniffing him.� Leon paused h e he realized that
sounded almost as bad as kissing.
�Oh yeah, about that.� Dee said. �I
did not smell anything, so my guess is, it�s his own
personal smell, and if you could pick it up, there is definitely some
attraction there. You need to work that out before it causes too much pain. I
chased him for about seven complete manga�s (Author�s
note: Ha-ha-ha-ha-).� Dee nodded towards Ryo,
who blushed and looked away. �Strait, or not, when you love someone, you love �em not much can be done about it.� Dee
said, hoping to help the situation, he could see was clearly getting out of
hand with the detective and the pet shop owner. Chimeara
came back and collected her fishbowl, only Dee and Ryo had placed note cards
in. She smiled and walked away.
�Are you...� D
said to Leon
and paused. �Never mind,� he said, for the first time in his long life, he was
unsure of himself and confused. For the rest of the evening, D and Leon said
very little as they sat and watched the interplay onstage and off. Ryo and Dee
had made up, and were sitting close together, every now and then Leon noted Dee
placing small kisses on Ryo�s ear. He looked over and saw how small and
delicious D�s ears looked. �Is something wrong?� D asked as Leon continued
to stare at him.
�Never noticed
you wore earrings before,� Leon
said.
�A gift from
my grandfather, he sent them to me from Paris.
Surely American males have been known to have pierced ears.� D said. Leon shrugged.
D did not know what to make of the situation. Ryo and Dee�s antics were not
missed by him and he could not help but remember the feel of Leon�s arms
around him and the taste of his kiss. True he had been trying to shock him,
but... D sighed.
�Look you
two,� Dee said. �You both have a lot to talk
about. I can not bear to see you both so confused, it�s almost funny, but sad.
Just talk, and maybe more, then the next time a happy camper hits on him, you
will have the right to get angry. Oh yeah, I saw that. Which
is why we thought, you two were an item. And the smelling thing ... D,
you can�t put the blame solely on Leon, because if you are sending
out that particular smell, you are attracted to him too.� Dee
stood as the band made preparations to leave. �Ryo and I are going home, see
you two kids around sometime, hopefully in a better state of affairs. Face the
facts kids, you so in love it�s obvious.�
�Still
tactless,� Ryo grumbled and pulled Dee away
from the table.
The silence
settled like a blanket over them. �I�ll take you home.� Leon said to D.
Both their faces were red even though Ryo and Dee had walked away.
�Sorry, but I
have to go now. Can I come by the shop tomorrow and visit?� D looked up to see
Andy standing by their table.
�Yes of
course.� He said and forced a smile. D stood and walked to the door Leon trailing.
They said nothing as Leon
drove to the pet Shop. Both lost in their own thoughts.
Leon looked aver at D as he
pulled up to the pet shop. He wanted to say so much, he had so many things on
his mind. �Good night,� D said and rushed to his door. Never in is life had D
run from anyone. Leon
sat outside and placed his head in his hands. Confusion was a hell of a
companion, he thought as he heard D�s front door close. He had to talk to D,
but what would he say? How would he say it? And why, why now was he attracted
to D? If Leon
were honest with himself, he would admit to being attracted for a long time,
only now, he was considering the ramifications of his attraction. Was he gay?
He�d always been after girls, true D was prettier than most girls he came
across but still, D was a man. Leon
got out of the car. He was not spending another sleepless night; this would be
settled before he went home.
Inside the pet
shop, D leaned weakly against the door, glad for something solid. He brought a
hand up and placed it on his forehead. Dee and Ryo seemed so happy together.
And the things Dee said, was he right? Were He
and Leon slowly driving each other insane by denying their attraction? It made
no sense. As D prepared to push away from the door, he heard and felt the
pounding. �D,� Leon�s
voice sounded too loud in the calm, balmy night. �Open up, we need to talk.� Leon felt his
breath catch as D opened the door and peeked around it. His face shone pale in
the moonlight and his hair obscured his face and yet Leon had never seen a more
beautiful sight.
D stepped back
and allowed Leon
inside the shop. �I�ll put on some tea.� D said and turned on a small table
lamp. Leon
blinked to clear his vision of the sudden light. By the time he could see, D
was puttering about in the back of the shop. Leon could hear the tinkling of
glass.
�How can you
drink so much Tea?� Leon
blustered as D came from the back of the shop carrying a tray. D simply smiled.
�Whoa,� Leon
felt the air leave his lungs as he looked at D and thought to himself how
beautiful D really was. �Okay, D, what the hell are we doing D?�
�Having tea,�
D said, clearly confused at Leon�s
question. He picked up his cup and took a sip.
�That�s not
what I meant and you know it.� Leon
said. D avoided his gaze. Was he scared? Leon
wondered as D sat his cup on the table, but not before Leon had seen
the tremble in his slim hands. �Could you come here for a moment?� Leon said. D
stood and walked over to Leon.
�Is something
wrong?� He asked and looked down at Leon.
�I don�t care
anymore.� Leon
said and placed his hands on D�s hips and pulled until D was standing directly
between his spread legs. Leon
placed his head against D�s stomach. �It should matter that I have never been
attracted to guys. It should matter that you might be a criminal. It should,
but it doesn�t. I want you D. More than I have ever wanted anyone or anything.
I just wish I knew how you felt. You�re always so cold.� Leon allowed
his hands to circle more fully around D. He looked up and gasped. Tears were
coursing down D�s face and he stood as if Leon were holding him up.
Leon scooted further onto
the couch and pulled D into his lap marveling at how small D really was. D
squawked and threw his arms around Leon�s
neck for leverage as Leon
turned him so that they were facing each other. Leon brought up his hand and
tenderly wiped the tears from D�s face. �I had never thought to desire anyone.�
D said. �I certainly did not mean to, I tried not to. I�m not cold, just
contained and...� Leon
kissed D before any more words could come tumbling out
if his mouth.
This was it. Leon thought,
this was what he had been waiting for his entire life. All the women before had
been a precursor to this. D was so sweet. It was like dessert in the form of a
warm pliant human. Leon
pulled back, both he and D were gasping for breath. �Dear God, you taste good.�
Leon
rasped out before he pushed D back on the couch and crawled over him. �We don�t
have to play the game anymore D, let�s just say we both win and go from there,
do you want to?�
D closed his
eyes and Leon
held his breath, waiting. D nodded and placed his thin arms around Leon�s neck. Leon felt such
relief that he collapsed on top of D melding their mouths together. �I don�t
know how this works, with guys, but I�ll figure it out.� Leon promised
as he licked a burning trail to D�s ear. He had dreamed about licking those
little ears. Leon
felt brief pain as D clutched his shoulders. Those damn nails, Leon thought.
He would have said something, but D moaned Leon thought he would burst his
pants. He pressed down against D.
D gasped, �Leon...Uh...What...�
�Calm, down,
its okay,� Leon
soothed. A thought suddenly struck Leon. D said he had never desired
anyone. �Holy shit, you�re a virgin.� Leon gasped and pulled away from D.
Leon stood beside the couch breathing deeply trying to
calm himself. D sat up and looked at Leon confused.
�The meaning
of the word would apply to me, yes, but why did you stop kissing me?� D
straitened his mussed hair and licked his kiss swollen lips. Leon noted the
mouth shaped bruise forming on D�s neck. Leon crouched near D�s legs and
placed a hand on D�s knee.
�I just needed
to calm down a bit; I don�t want to go too fast for you.� Leon said and laughed.
�We�re a pair huh, you never had anyone and I�ve never been with a guy...� Leon leaned
over and kissed D again. �Where�s your bedroom?� Leon said against D�s lips.
�D...Down the
hall,� D said.
Leon took his hand and
stood, pulling D to his feet. �Show me.� D blushed and nodded. He began to walk
down the hall to the rear of the shop past the cages of sleeping animals and
burning incense. Leon
enjoyed the gently sway of D�s backside as he had done many times before, only
now, there was no guilt. He wanted to reach out a caress it, but did not want
to startle D, he was already shaken. Leon looked around at the beautiful
antiques in the D�s bedroom. His eyes lighted on the bed and he smiled. It was
certainly big enough he thought. He liked the gauzy hangings. D walked right up
to his bed with Leon
trailing him. He paused and turned to face Leon unsure what to do next. �Come
here.�
Leon reached out held D
close once again kissing D�s neck. The scent was back and so strong Leon felt
intoxicated by it. But more, D tasted sweet. Did the guy eat so much sugar that
he sweated the stuff? Leon
thought. He Reached behind D and moved a curtain aside before laying D on the
bed. �How do I get you out of this thing?� Leon asked as he sat beside D on
the bed. D reached up and undid the frog buttons at the collar of his
cheongsam. Leon
smiled as the entire thing opened down the front revealing a silk undergarment
that draped D like a sheath. Leon
slid the outer layer down D�s arms.
�Don�t be
afraid okay. If I do something you don�t like, tell me, I�ll stop.� Leon whispered
near D�s ear. D whimpered and placed tiny kisses along Leon�s jaw, passing his lips in favor of moving
on to Leon�s
neck. �Lift your butt.� Leon
said. D�s brow furrowed in confusion, until he felt Leon tugging on his ankle length
sheath. D arched his back and Leon
was able to pull the garment up to D�s waist. He sat up pulling D with him.
With a few deft movements, D was bare, only his slim pants keeping him from
complete nudity. Leon
was surprised that the sight of another male�s erection was not deterring him
in any way from his course of seduction. Leon tossed off his own shirt and
pressed D back to the bed.
�Leon... It�s
too much... I ...It�s...Oh.� D moaned as Leon kissed down from D�s neck to
his chest. He latched onto a small nipple and D hissed something Leon could not
understand. Was he speaking Chinese? Leon wondered,
sure things were progressing well if D could not remember English.
�Take your
pants off.� Leon
said and proceeded to shimmy out of his own pants and underwear. D quickly
obeyed, willing to do anything to quell the urgency caused by Leon�s kisses
and touches. �Okay, come on.� Leon
said and pressed their bodies fully together. D gasped and clutched Leon�s shoulders, sure he was melting from the
inside out as Leon
continued to kiss him. �Okay, okay baby calm down; I�ll take care of you.� Leon whispered
as he kissed down from D�s chest, following the sweet taste to its core.
There it was
the center of the smell, the sweet taste was right there and Leon felt no
qualms about placing a burning kiss at the tip. D�s hips jerked violently. �Leon, please!�
�Please what?�
Leon
said not once moving his face away, enjoying the feel, the taste, the smell
that was all pure D. He licked the spot his face was pressed against. D
whimpered and arched higher wanting more and yet afraid to soar beyond a level
of rational thinking. �More...Okay.� Leon racked his brain trying to
remember every blowjob he�d ever received and took D fully into his mouth. D
made sobbing panting sounds as Leon
sucked furiously one moment, then licked and kissed the next. Leon�s hands
were busy stroking up and down, while the other hand squeezed D�s backside. How
often had he dreamed of squeezing that backside, Leon thought? He felt D tense and
knew that in a moment, D would be gone. �Fly for me baby, let go.� Leon said.
D moaned low
in his throat and Leon
felt his mouth filled with a sticky sweet cream. It was good. Leon sucked
harder trying to get more. He was not disappointed. D was speaking in
incoherent Chinese syllables as he bucked underneath Leon. Once D had calmed a bit and
his breathing had slowed he realized that Leon was no longer in his lap. �So
good,� Leon
moaned and kissed D�s neck again. D turned his face and captured Leon�s lips. He
shifted his hips and saw Leon
cringe.
�Oh, sorry,
did I hurt you?� D looked down at the stiff appendage he had brushed against.
He reached out a hand and gently rubbed hoping to sooth the hurt. Leon moaned.
�A little
tighter,� He instructed. At D�s confused look, Leon placed his hand over D�s and
began to move it up and down, squeezing ever so often. �Just like that,� Leon said. D
wanted to try to return the pleasure that Leon had given him. He leaned down
and placed a kiss. Leon
arched his hips up wanting more. D opened his mouth and tried to take Leon in, he
gagged and backed away. How had Leon
done that? D tried again and Leon
hissed. �Watch your teeth.� Leon
pulled D up and kissed him silencing any arguments D might have made at the
cessation of his experimentation. �Give me your hand.� D complied and smiled as
Leon
placed his hand over D�s and began slow steady stokes. Soon Leon was
rubbing faster and kissing D with such fervor that D could not breathe properly
and he did not want to. Leon
shouted and D felt warm wetness cover both their hands.
Leon settled down in the
bed and pulled D close to him. �Leon,�
D said placing a small kiss on Leon�s
chest.
�Um...� Leon mumbled
placing a row of kisses along D�s hairline. Waiting for an answer, Leon looked
down and saw that D was asleep.
The sun
streaming through the window annoyed Leon enough that he did not
immediately open his eyes. The warm, small body pressed to his side gave him
wicked ideas. Leon
trailed a hand down the side and cupped the small backside. �Hmmm...Leon,� D
murmured still not fully awake. D opened his oddly colored eyes and looked up
at Leon.
�Good morning.�
�Good morning
yourself,� Leon
said. D looked so mussed; Leon
could not help but run his hand through the thick jet black hair. �I never
thought to see you less than perfect.� D blushed and tried to get off the bed. Leon grabbed
his hand and pulled D down on top of him. Both of Leon�s hands cupped D�s backside. D
braced himself on his arms and leaned down to place little kisses against Leon�s lips.
The kisses lasted for only a second and yet Leon felt them clear to his core.
Leon turned his head and
began to kiss D�s neck, working another bruise into the delicate skin. Just as Leon was
sliding his hand between them to stroke D, his cell phone rang. �Shit, I�m on
duty today,� Leon
groaned. D placed a sharpish bite at the base of Leon�s neck. �Ow, what was that for?�
D crawled off
of Leon
and exited the bed. Leon
rubbed the spot and watched D put on his bathrobe. D looked back at Leon and smiled
his little charming smile. �Language, my dear Mr. Detective. Oh that my ears
should be so abused so early in the morning...� The last ended in a huff as Leon grabbed
him by the waist and tossed him back onto the bed.
�I know I�m
supposed to have breakfast, but I�d rather have dessert before I go in to the
office today.� Leon
was pleased to see the clouded look on D�s face. For a moment, he had been
afraid of the frosty Count D coming back. But now Leon could see just how fast D
could go from ice cold to smoldering hot. Leon undid the tie of D�s bathrobe
and slid down D�s body. D moaned as Leon began to suck and stroke. Leon was not
disappointed in his quest for D�s sweet mixture. D exploded in his mouth and Leon smiled; so
sweet he thought. �Got to stop by my apartment and get cleaned up before work,
have a good day beautiful.� Leon
said, he leaned over and placed a kiss on D�s mouth.
He looked back
as he dressed and noted D lying on his side on the bed watching him. D
stretched and Leon�s
pants dropped to the floor from where he had been in the process of pulling
them up. His phone ringing again halted his movement towards the bed. �Leon! Where the
Hell are you? Chief wants you in here as soon as
possible, We have three new officers being transferred here from New York, and
two of them mentioned they know you, so chief is assigning you to show them
around.� Leon
winced at Jill�s shrill screeching.
�I�m on my
way, I need to go to my place and get a shower first. Tell Ryo and Dee... To chill.� If Jill wondered at the halt in his voice she
said noting.
�We�ve been to
your apartment, where are you? And I guess you do know them. I kind of noted a
bit of tension between them and the other guy, so, I�ll take him on for a
couple of days. How did you meet the other two?�
�Hold on a
sec,� Leon
said and kissed D one more time before he headed out of the pet shop. �We met
when I dropped Chris off at camp; they were dropping off their own kid. Had a
late snack and got to know each other.�
�You still did
not answer m question, Where are you?� Jill asked.
�I�m in my car
en route to my apartment.� Leon
said he did not bother to hide the snicker that entered his voice.
�Where were
you?� Jill�s voice had dropped dangerously low.
�None of your
business...� Leon�s
words trailed off as he pulled up to his apartment building and saw Jill, Ryo
and Dee waiting for him. Leon�s
face turned bright red as Dee gave him a
knowing look. �I�ll be about fifteen minutes.� Leon grumbled before heading
upstairs.
�We�ll be at
the diner on the corner.� Jill called up to him and wondered why Dee was laughing like a psycho. �What�s up with him?�
Jill asked Ryo who tried not to laugh as he followed her down the street.
As Leon showered
he thought of D bathing and had to calm his thoughts or he�d take off work and
go join him. While dressing he looked in the mirror and saw D�s little bite
mark. He smiled before pulling on a t-shirt. He tossed on a jacket to hide his
weapon and headed off to meet Jill, Ryo and Dee.
Ryo looked up and
smiled as he saw Leon
headed towards their table. �Morning Orcot.�
�More like
afternoon,� Jill grumbled. Leon
smiled at her and she wondered why he was so pleased. �Well, play nice kids; I
have to go before J.J. starts looking for me.� Ryo frowned at the mention of
J.J. Leon dropped down in to her vacant seat and ordered coffee and glazed
doughnuts.
�Well?� Dee asked.
�Well what?� Leon evaded the
question and watched Jill get into her car and speed away.
�Don�t give me
that, we all know where you spent the night.� Dee
said and ignored Ryo�s punching him in the arm.
�I do not
believe this is any of our business,� Ryo said. �Or have you never heard that
curiosity killed the cat?�
�Fine, I�ll
think about answering your questions, if you answer mine.� Leon said and
took a bite of a doughnut. He paused...the taste... Leon took another bite, reminded
him of...Another bite... D.
�You really
like glaze.� Dee remarked and Leon
realized he had licked the doughnut instead of biting it.
�I�ve
developed and odd craving for sugar.� Leon smiled. �Now, you both
mentioned J.J. Last night and now I hear his name again today and you both look
like you would rather shoot him than work with him.� Leon then began to drink his
coffee. �Explain please, so I know what to expect at the office.�
�J.J. is like
a pest that just refuses to go away.� Ryo said.
�Like, baby,
he is a pest that refuses to go away. We went to academy together and he would
never leave me alone. Would have licked my boots had I asked him, but I�ve
never been attracted to the needy clingy type.� Dee went on to explain, �He
later transferred to our precinct in New
York and proceeded to follow me around and set my
seduction of Ryo back by a couple of weeks. Ow,� Dee complained as Ryo punched him again. �He found out we
were being transferred to California
and begged the chief to send him out too, I think the chief was just glad to be
rid of him. He�s a good cop, but damn.� Dee
grumbled.
�Well at least
you don�t get bitten for swearing.� Leon said and sipped his coffee.
�And Yes I did stay at the Shop with D last night.� He needed to talk to
someone who was experienced in these matters and he figured these two would be
his best bet. �So I have a few questions and I thought maybe you could help me
out.�
�What�s on
your mind, you look even more confused than you did last night.� Dee said, he exchanged a look
with Ryo who nodded.
�When you
realized you were, you know...� Leon
began, his face turned red. �Gay, did it bother you.�
�Drove me half
crazy,� Ryo admitted. �I made us both miserable, because I was afraid to admit
to that part of myself. I could not even look Dee
in the eye because I was ashamed that I was attracted to him. The more I hung
around him, the more I had to admit that I was in love.�
�When it�s the
heart that is involved,� Dee said. �You really
should not care about anything else. Do you love D?�
�I think I
must, or why else would I throw convention to the wind, just to be with him.� Leon said. �But
uh... my question is a bit more complex. How do you two uh... well... you
know?�
Dee burst into
uproarious laughter as Ryo blushed and refused to make eye contact with Leon. �Oh come
on Ryo, it�ll be our good deed to help them out.�
�Shouldn�t we
be working,� Ryo hedged turning redder.
Leon held up his cell phone
and showed that it was turned on. �We are.�
�Not much I
can tell you.� Dee said, �Same general
concept, you know peg in hole, they taught you that in kindergarten. I know you
can figure this out, I saw you watching his butt as he walked up to the stage last
night. Just tell him to relax, and try to stay calm. The first time might
hurt.�
�The first few times.� Ryo amended. �And Leon what ever you do, use lots and
lots of Lube, when you think you have enough, put some more.� Ryo was silent
for a moment as the waitress came back and refilled their coffee cups. Leon was
staring bug eyed at Ryo and Dee. They couldn�t be serious, could they? Did
they...? Leon
looked at Ryo with a question on his face. He was not sure he could see Dee getting taken that way. �Yes, okay, now can we get
back to doing actual police work?�
�Sure,
whatever, thanks guys,� Leon
said. �I�ve been working on tracking a gang of assassins called Scorpio�s
Children; really high profile, kills top notch victims. Usually senators or
mobsters you know, humph, �Leon
finished his coffee and had another doughnut. �Now a days, you can�t tell the
two apart.�
D looked at
the limousine the pulled up to his shop. The deep purple flag marked it as
Arcadian. The door opened and Andy fairly bounced out as she made her way to
the shop. �I am pleased to present her highness, the lady Andromache,
High princess...�
�Put a sock in
it.� She said to her driver who felt the need to announce her to D. �He knows
who I am.� She frowned and stomped down the stairs of the shop. �Sorry about
that pompous Jack ass.� She said to D. �Nestoir
insist that if I am going out I take someone with me, everyone else is working
today, so... I had to make due with General Fland.�
�I see your
language has not improved.� D said and sat a cup of tea in front of her with
Honey instead of sugar.
�You
remembered,� she squealed.
�Of course,� D
said. He sat in his usual strait backed chair and began to eat his fruit tart.
�Now why are you not out working with the others?� D asked.
�I am,� Andy said
and sat down her cup. �There has been an issue brought up at court and King Zarro has asked for your Grandfather to show up. We are
having trouble locating him, but we thought you might be able to get a message
to him.�
�What is the problem?�
D said afraid his grandfather had committed some heinous crime... again.
�Some one has
set up a pet shop similar to yours only it�s in Chicago; we were hoping to enlist his aid in
shutting it down. Innocent people are being killed.� Andy said. �We have too
much other stuff to deal with to be bothered by some other worldly hood trying
to...� Andy�s words were cut off as Sirens could be heard outside the pet shop,
and feet were crashing down the stairs.
�Open up count
D,� An unfamiliar voice blustered. �You�re under arrest.�
Leon's cell phone rang and
he quickly answered it. "Orcot
here...WHAT!" Leon
stood from the table. "I"LL BE THERE IN FIVE MINUTES." Ryo and
Dee had no time to ask questions, they simply followed Leon outside
and jumped into their car.
"How does
he expect us to keep up, he's driving like a psycho?" Ryo said and buckled
his seatbelt.
"Leave
that to me." Dee grinned and pealed out turning his sirens on just as Leon had. He
dashed past startled pedestrians and motorist at a break neck speed.
The silence
was deafening in the Pet shop as several officers rushed in with their guns
drawn. "Every body put your hands up." More sirens could be heard
outside, as the lead officer roughly grabbed D's cheongsam and threw him across
his counter. D's arms were wrenched behind his back. "You have the right
to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court
of..."
"What is
the charge?" Andy marched forward her voice full of command. The childish
gaiety of earlier had vanished.
"Murder,
little girl,� the belligerent detective answered with a smug sneer at
Andy. �Now back the fuck off or join him
in cuffs." The officer said.
"D!"
Leon
crashed into the shop. He saw red. "Damn it Randolf,
let him go." Leon
commanded
"Calm
down, Orcot, I got the call I bring him in, I know
you've had a hard on to bring the guy in your self, but no bad feelings, right,
as long as he's behind bars." Randolf said. Leon saw D
wince as he was jerked upright.
"You
don't have to be so rough with him. Where's your proof?" Dee said as Leon seemed
incapable of speech. Ryo held on to Leon's arm for was gripped with
such rage that Randolf was in danger.
"A man
named Tye Kushner was found dead this morning He had
some sort of toxic gas in his lungs, it killed him. There was a little fuzzy
monkey type thing there and a pot of incense from you know
who." Randolf shook D. Leon couldn't take it
anymore. He lunged forward and pulled D away from Randolf.
"You
ok?" He asked. D nodded. Leon
was glad that cop cuffs were universal as he undid D's cuffs. "Just
explain."
D stepped away
from him and nodded, rubbing his bruised wrists. "Mr. Kushner, he bought Zitti Monkey. The monkey is to be kept on a strict diet of
vegetables and tofu. If that diet is not adhered to, his bowels can release a
toxic gas. Mr. Kushner was well aware of this and he signed a contract. The Pet
shop can not and will not be held accountable for his breach of the
contract." D rummaged through a drawer and pulled out a piece of paper.
"You can check there if you want." D held out the paper. Leon noted the
bruises on his slim wrists and pulled D against him and rubbed his wrists.
"You can
file for PB you know?" He said and looked at Randolf.
"He could get fined or lose his badge."
"What's with you Orcot?" Randolf
said. "I was just doing my job, I thought you
would appreciate it. But I see you have a different kind of Hard on for the
guy. Humph I always figured you for a skirt man... But I guess you still are,
little bitch wears skirts." Randolf growled and
looked D over with a sneer. Leon
prepared to attack Randolf and found himself held
back by surprisingly strong, slim fingers. D smiled sweetly at him and nodded
at Andy who seemed to be smoldering with barely contained rage.
"Apologize this instant." Ryo turned and saw Andy
standing with her hands on her hips. She was trembling with fury.
"Mind
your own business little girl, I've got no call to apologize to a suspected
felon." Randolf growled.
"I demand
an apology, not only to Count D, but to myself and these esteemed officers as
well. A public apology." Andy said and stuck her
nose in the air as she looked at Randolf.
"Who the
hell do you think you are?" Randolf asked. He
looked down at Andy with acute dislike.
"I hate
when they resist," Andy pouted and Dee
smiled, she was adorable. "Looks like I'm going to have to pull rank.
General Fland, if you will." Andy stepped back
and allowed a man in a black suit to step forward. "He missed his chance
earlier, and I know he is just dying to say it."
"Allow me
to present her Highness the lady Andromache, High
Princess of Arcadia." General Fland bowed low
and stepped aside.
Andy giggled
at the shocked silence that followed. "I left the tiara at home."
"The
flagged car outside was you?" Ryo asked.
"You
noticed a car, I was so intent on getting in
here..." Leon
said and again rubbed D's wrists.
Andy looked at
Randolf, "well!" She demanded.
Randolf turned red and bowed "My apologies, your highness. I
did not realize you were royal...ah."
"So you
are just rude to anyone you come across? So much for common
courtesy." Andy said, "Now either you apologize to my friend
the honorable Count D, or you lose your badge, and I will expect a written
apology by you delivered to him before sunset. Or your government will be
hearing from the Arcadian King." Andy folded her arms and glared at Randolf. "And they are not dresses,
they are ancient Chinese robes... so you also need to apologize for your
insulting of his heritage as well as your brutal treatment of him, when he had
not resisted you because he had done nothing wrong."
"Andy,"
D placed a hand on her shoulder. "Perhaps we should just let it..."
"I will
not." Andy yelled, she rounded on D and Leon shuddered, it seemed as if her
eyes had glowed silver for a moment. "Disrespect to me, or my subjects
will not be tolerated. Either he apologizes now, or he
loses his badge, the government will get a complaint from the king and Nestoir will then be allowed to play with him."
"I'm
sorry." Randolf exploded at D. I hope there was
no damage to your wrists and I am sorry about insulting your culture." Randolf said. "I'll deliver a written apology before
the day is over." For good measure, and self preservation he turned to Leon.
"Sorry if I insulted you new lifestyle." Randolf
left the shop in a hurry.
"Whoa,
what?" Dee's eyes were so wide it seemed
as if they were taking up over half his face.
"You
never heard of the Arcadian court?" Andy asked with a smile, the scariness
of just a few minutes ago vanished as if it had never been. "Well, a while
ago, we kind of made the headlines by winning a war against some heinous
uh...'terrorist'. Then, well, it kind of goes from there. D is apart of our
Asian factor of government. Did you never wonder why his family bears the title
of Count?" She asked Leon.
Fland cleared his throat. Andy flopped onto a chair
and picked up her tea as the door opened again. She appeared to hiding behind
D. Ryo was in a state of shock as a tall man stormed into the shop.
"Andromache!"
"Nes honey, mission accomplished, D will contact his Grandpa
and..." Andy was cut off as as Nestoir grabbed her and pulled her to her feet.
"You
adorable little psycho." Nestoir said
"we're needed at the front. D it's nice to see you again." Nestoir said to D who bowed to the irate Prince. As the
royal pair left, D went to put on more tea.
"Please
won't you join me for some dinner?" D said to Leon, Dee and Ryo.
"Well,"
Ryo looked at his watch. "Shift is over for today."
"Ever the
responsible one." Dee said and mussed
Ryo's hair.
Leon laughed and pulled D
into his arms for a brief hug. "I got here as fast as I could." He
said against the softness of D's hair. Leon molded his mouth to D's before
he could stop himself. He pulled away and blushed.
"Ah,
PDA's, we love those." Dee snickered.
They moved to D's dinning room and sat down for dinner. "Hmmm, no meat, let me guess, a vegetarian." Dee
said and looked at D.
D nodded,
"I do not eat meat this is true, but I have prepared a very nice salad and
fried tofu. In honor of Bunjal's return." D said, he patted a little fuzzy creature that resembled a monkey.
As Dee and Ryo
prepared to leave, they pulled Leon
aside. "Remember, be gentle, and tender and... Well, tell him to
relax." Dee whispered. "Here,"
Dee placed a small bottle into Leon's
hand. Leon
looked down and his eyes widened as he looked at the lubricant. "Water
soluble, and completely edible." Dee
grinned and was pinched by Ryo.
"Edible?"
Leon
said loudly, D looked up startled. Leon placed the bottle in his
pocket. "See you guys tomorrow."
"Not
yet," Ryo said. He walked over to D, before glaring at Dee.
"Can I have a word with you?"
"Yes of
course, is something wrong?" D asked as he stepped away from Leon and Dee.
"You'll
thank him," Dee said. "He doesn't
trust you to instruct D properly and doesn't want to see the little guy hurt, so..." Dee and Leon continued to talk quietly
until Ryo rejoined them by the door. He and Dee made their way out and left Leon to
discover D sitting in shock on the couch. His face was very red, and his tea
was left unattended on the table.
"Hey,"
Leon
said and sat beside him. Leon
placed a hand on D's knee and kneaded softly. "Don't worry about what they
said, we don't have to..." Leon's
words were smothered as D tossed himself into Leon's lap and began kissing him
furiously. Oh! Leon
thought, D was not in shock, he was aroused. "whoa
calm down sweet heart"
"Oh, Leon." D moaned and began to
undo Leon's
pants.
"Bed,
room," Leon
panted and held D's hands. He stood and picked D into is arms "What the
hell did he say to you?" Leon
growled and headed down the hallway. He had only been to D's bedroom once and
yet he went unerringly to it. Leon
carried D directly to his bed and laid him on it. D whimpered and pulled Leon on top of
him. Leon
made a mental note to thank Ryo in the morning.
Leon grabbed D�s hands in a
gentle yet firm grip. He looked into D�s eyes and saw that he was beyond any
patience. Leon
tried to quickly undress D. �Damn this thing.� Leon muttered when he could only
undo the top layer of D�s robe. D whimpered and shifted his hips causing the
part in his robe to reveal his pants. �That�ll work.� Leon said and
undid D�s pants. He slipped a hand inside and D was gone in moments. �You
okay?� Leon
asked when D seemed to be breathing normally again.
�I...I... D...Don�t
know what came over me.� D took several calming breaths. Leon laughed
and kissed him. D quickly shed the rest of his layers of clothing and began to
undo Leon�s
pants.
�Instant
gratification did not do it for you huh?� Leon grinned never having dreamed
that D could be so passionate about anything other than animals. �Whoa, Wait a
minute, hon.� Leon
took D�s hands and held them still. �What exactly did Ryo say to you?�
D took several
deep breaths, �I just never imagined such feelings as I had last night, and Ryo
said it would be magnified, and he said to trust you and to just try to relax.�
D paused then and looked away from Leon,
the rest of his words were muffled against Leon�s chest, but he heard them
just the same. �He said that if I tensed up, you can�t... well, you know, and
it will hurt.� D seemed to pale at the mention of pain. Leon sighed in
relief; at least D was no longer panting and bucking. �It just seems so
intimate. I have always known about intercourse, but now that I think about it,
how can it be something that is just done for recreational purposes. I mean, to
actually have someone inside of you...I love you Leon, so I want to, but...�D
paused and placed a slim hand over his mouth as he realized what he had said.
Leon removed D�s hand and
replaced it with his lips. A tender kiss, a gentle slid of lips, tasting with
soft tongues. Leon
looked down and D had tears in his eyes. Before they could spill Leon said, �I
love you too, you Chinese criminal.� Leon laughed and held D close,
enjoying the feel of the slight form in his arms. �I don�t know when it
happened, but somewhere in between man eating rabbits and love sick mermaids, I
fell, hard.� D smiled and Leon
felt as if the sun had deigned to shine in the dark room. He sank into a kiss and
decided that the world was a beautiful place.

Break
Chris looked
out at the water and grinned. Bikky did not believe he could swim. Oh boy would
he show him, Chris thought as he jumped in and began to swim. Bikky followed and
tried to dive as deep as Chris. Bikky surfaced and gasped for air, looking for
Chris. �Oh no!� Bikky said and began to search the
water frantically for his friend. �I hope he didn�t drown, I promised his
brother I�d look after him. He�s only eight.� Bikky said to himself as he dived
again looking for Chris. As he resurfaced, he saw Chris bobbing in the water
silently laughing. �How�d you stay under for so long?� Bikky demanded.
Chris wished
he could speak to him; he made his way to the sandy shore and wrote with a
stick. -My friend Philippe taught me, He lives at D�s pet shop.-
Bikky Grinned,
he couldn�t wait to explore D�s pet shop. It sounded so cool. Chris said he was
supposed to be living with his brother, but spent more time in Count D�s pet
shop, but he did not mind, he liked to play with the others there. Bikky vowed
to ask Ryo and Dee if he and Carol could go and visit the shop.
Carol sat on
the sand with Bikky�s new dog, Cujo,
Chris� Goat T-Chan, and her Rabbit Sweetie, and wondered why they kept calling
the pretty woman named D that had been with Chris�s brother a he. She refused
to believe it was a man. She was too beautiful. Carol vowed to get to the
bottom of the puzzling situation as Bikky came back and dumped a bucket of
water on her head. �Bikky!� Carol screamed and ran after him. �I�m gonna hold you under until the bubbles stop.� Chris laughed
as he sat back and watched his two new friends frolic in the water.
�This is a
nice place.� T-Chan said.
-Yeah, - Chris said to T-Chan. �I
hope I can come back next summer,- Chris looked over at a happy young man
with deep brown hair and eyes who sat beside T-Chan, -Hey Cujo, you think you�ll be visiting the shop with Bikky and
Carol, you too Sweetie.- The young woman with bunny ears smiled and nuzzled
Chris hand. �D�ll love you both. - Chris said
as T-Chan lay in the grass and went to sleep.
�Camper Chris!� Chris looked up and frowned as Squirrel came
and sat beside him. �Today is the day for your group to write letters home. You
can write to your brother and his friend, what was his name, I don�t remember
ever learning it. Perhaps after the season is done we can have dinner and he
can tell abouth the animals in his shop.� Chris
looked up at Squirrel and was glad that he could not speak. He did not like the
look on Squirrels face as he talked abnout D. Bikky
had called Squirrel a meddling pervert, Chris agreed. Bikky was
Eleven, so he knew these things. Oh he�d write a letter alright, Chris thought,
a letter telling D to stay away from the camp.
-Can I eat
that one? - T-Chan grumbled.
-KYU!- Q-Chan squeeked and nipped his
ear.

�So is the
�Little guy� all prepared for his carnal adventure?� Dee
asked Ryo as they entered their new house. It was a nice two story with plenty
of room for Bikky and a large yard for his new dog Cujo.
Dee grinned, who would have thought of him as
a family man? He had not asked on the way home because he wanted to concentrate
on the road and note Ryo. It was a bit difficult to remember how to get to their
house from China
town. One wrong turn could send an hour out of their way on the back roads of L.A.
Ryo laughed
wanted to answer but finding it difficult to between kisses. �You should have
seen his face when I left... I told him what to expect. He seemed a bit
apprehensive of the pain, but I doubt that will stop his desire for pleasure.�
Ryo would have said more but he was thrown onto their bed. �I guess you�re done
talking now.� He mumbled while he still had the ability. Dee
wasted no stripping Ryo of his clothes baring the beautiful body that he had
come to know so well. He licked his way down to the smooth chest taking a small
erect nipple between his teeth. Ryo hissed in pleasurable pain and arched up to
Dee�s insistent mouth. �Oh�Dee��
Ryo moaned and took his own lower lip between his teeth in supreme bliss.
�I know what
you want baby, hold I�ve got you.� Dee said
promising a night of pleasure for both of them. He slid down Ryo�s body licking
a hot path to his navel. Dee spent several
endless moments making Ryo squirm as his tongue dived in and out of the small
inwardly pointed button. �Is this it?� Dee
asked and circled his hands around Ryo�s hard, throbbing cock.
�Ummmmmm,� Ryo panted tossing his head back into the
pillows. �Deeeeee,� Ryo whined when Dee
did no more than lazily trace his hand up and down, not offering the tight
encasement that Ryo needed at the moment.
�What did you
tell little D?� Dee asked Ryo gasped.
�What?!� He looked through bleary eyes at Dee
wondering what new game he was playing.
�What did you
tell little D?� Dee repeated his question
blowing warm air over Ryo�s balls making him hiss in pleasure that was almost
pain in his need.
�I told him��
Ryo paused dragging air into his lungs and focusing on what he needed to say.
It was becoming increasingly difficult with Dee�s
hands roaming his nether regions in a seemingly endless path. �I told him to�
oh� yeah� To relax, and trust Leon�
Oh� Tighter, please� Dee� I told him� Ah� I
told him�� Ryo squirmed as Dee did indeed hold
him tighter moving his hand up and down urging Ryo to climax; driving him to
the edge, but holding back.
�What else?� Dee said licking up to the tip of Ryo and allowing his
tongue to dive into the opening tasting pre-cum and felt Ryo tremble from head
to toe.
�I told him� Ohhhhh�. I told him, that it might hurt, but�. Oh�. Ah� Yeah� Oh Deeeeee�� Ryo practically
begged for release as Dee took a finger deep
into his mouth before he pressed it against Ryo�s opening pushing just the tip
in, teasing Ryo.
�But�?� Dee prompted twisting his fingers searching for and
finding that spot that made him cry out in joy, but his body wept for still
release was denied him.
�Hurt� oh�
but� Good� Feeeeelllllssss, so good.� Ryo said closing his eyes hoping to concentrate
on the feelings hoping to cum. �It�s starting to hurt Dee,
Let� me� Ah,� Ryo begged when his balls tightened painfully in the need to
expel their contents.
�Hurts huh�� Dee smirked and took Ryo into his mouth fully slowly
ragging his tongue along the sides as he traveled down and sucking on his way
back up. �Umm, tasty man� but feels good.�
�Oh yeah, feels so good.� Ryo moaned and gasped when Dee slid another finger inside of him. He began to
undulate on the bed his body eating Dee�s
fingers in the process. Dee held Ryos hips and bore him hard to the bed and sucked like a
madman. Ryo cried out in painful joy as he was given the release his body
needed. He lay as liquid on the bed feeling Dee
crawl over him and generously apply the lubricant. �Mmmmmm,�
D moaned with his lower lip again between his teeth. Dee
loved that look, it was so sexy. He leaned over and kissed Ryo as he placed his
cock at the entrance of Ryo�s tightness and pushed in. Ryo gasped and began to
move with Dee. The passion of their love
carried through the night and left them exhausted, but content.

( Back at the pet shop)
Leon moved back and gulped
in air between kisses. He pressed himself against D who raised his hips and
moaned. �Wait...� Leon
said and left the bed. He searched his pockets for the small vial that Dee had given him earlier. He climbed back on top of D.
�Are you sure about this?� Leon
asked He was careful of how he touched D wanted his decision to be a lucid one.
D nodded, he
was touched that Leon
cared enough to ask so many times. �I want you, more than I have ever wanted
anything in my life.� Leon
smiled and kissed D again marveling at the sweetness of D�s lips, his neck, his chest and further. D moaned as Leon spread his
legs and began to suck.
�Lift your
legs a bit,� Leon
said between licks and kisses. D was beyond any understanding of a spoken
language so Leon
gently grasped his ankles and moved his legs up. Leon wrapped D�s ankles around his
waist and covered his hand with the lubricant. D�s eyes flew open as Leon�s hands
began to knead his backside.
�Ah...� D
gasped, Leon
tried not to hurt him as one finger slid inside and began to move.
�God, you�re
tight.� Leon
groaned. He felt himself growing harder at the mere thought of sliding into the
warm, slick sheath. Leon
inserted another finger and began to spread them apart, loosening D as much as
he could. D began to moan louder and shift his hips. He moved his hands from Leon�s
shoulders and to his crotch. �No not yet,� Leon ground out and continued to
move his fingers. He gathered both of D�s hands into one of his large ones and
held them over his head. �You�re driving me crazy.� Leon said and kissed the
protestations from D�s lips.
As Leon moved his
fingers, D whimpered and raised his hips higher. Ryo was incorrect, he thought,
this did not hurt, he wanted more. �Leon, now, please.�
�I don�t want
to hurt you.� Leon
said and licked D�s neck.
�It does not
hurt.� D said, he pulled on his hands and was released with out a struggle. Leon sighed and
removed his fingers. He pressed forward, He gritted his teeth. D was tighter
than he had first thought.
�Just relax
baby, or I can�t get in.� Leon
said and made a tentative thrust. Ok, D thought, Ryo was right. D took several
deep breaths and tried to relax. Leon thrust again and D gasped.
�Are you okay?� Leon
asked, concerned, that last gasp did not sound like pleasure. D closed his eyes
tightly and nodded. Leon
thrust again.
�Oh!� D�s eyes
squeezed shut. �Leon
began to back away. But D held onto his hips and refused to unlock his legs
from Leon�s
waist.
�Baby, if it
hurts...� Leon
began.
�No it�s all
right.� D panted. �I knew what to expect, the pain will not last, and I can
bear it. I want you so badly, do not deny me now, do
not deny us both.� D said. �Go all the way; I know you are holding back.� D
gathered Leon
close to him and kissed his neck. Leon could not take any more. Leon held D
closer and as gently as he could, pushed all the way in. He felt D trembling in
his arms. Leon
looked down to see D�s eyes squeezed tightly shut. Leon
grew worried at how pale D was, panting shallow breathes and rhythmically
clutching Leon�s
shoulders.
�How bad is
it?� Leon
asked.
�Just� Please�
Don�t move.� D said getting used to sharing his body. He had done so only once
before, and then he had not been in his body when it was used. But now, there
was such a connection. He could feel Leon
deep in the core of himself and as long as Leon was still it did not hurt so
much. D relaxed around Leon
breathing in deeply concentrating on what he was feeling. There was pain, he
could not deny this. But, D thought, underneath the pain, was a pleasure so
deep he thought he would faint from it. That was what he wanted to explore.
What he focused on. �Alright,� D said his voice a mere whisper of breath, the
deep look in his eyes giving Leon the �ok� more than spoken words could have.
Leon moved slowly, afraid
to hurt D and yet wanted to relieve the ache in his loins, an ache that was
steadily building as he looked into D�s beautiful eyes. D discovered that if he
raised himself higher he could take more of Leon in. With each thrust of Leon�s D met it
with a thrust of his own. �Oh yeah, just like that, you�re perfect.� Leon
ground out as he kissed D. Leon realized he would not last much longer and
brought a hand between them to stoke D�s erection.
�Leon...Leon...Ah...� D
panted as the world took on a crazy tilt and dumped them both off the side.
Leon was in a state of
exhausted shock. Never in his sexual history could he remember anything being
so intense. �Oh, D.� Leon groaned. He realized he had
collapsed on top of D and rolled to the side pulling D with him. �You...You
okay?� D could not speak, no words would issue forth from his mouth. He could
only nod and place tiny kisses along Leon�s jaw line. It was all he could
reach from his position and he did not have the strength to move. Leon looked
down and saw they were both covered in several different types of goo. � Yours, mine and ours,"
Leon
mumbled. "Where�s your bathroom?� D pointed to a door that was connected to
his bedroom. �Stay here.� Leon
pressed D back onto the bed and kissed him before he headed through the door.
D lay back and
closed his eyes. Never in his life had he been so relaxed and exhausted. He
never could imagine anything feeling so good as Leon had
felt tonight. D opened his eyes when he heard water running into his bathtub.
He turned onto his side and gasped, wishing he had not moved. Another point Ryo
was correct on it would seem; the soreness afterward. He had warned that D
would have difficulty walking, but D had been so intent on pleasure that he had
not thought of the consequences. He loved Leon and wanted to be close to him.
D looked up as Leon
came into the room. He was pleased that Leon had thought to run him a bath,
but he was not looking forward to walking to his bathroom.
There was no
thought of D walking. Leon
picked him up and carried him into the bathroom. �Tell me if it�s too hot.� He
said and gently placed him into the sunken pool that was used as a bathtub. He
had filled the tube with hot water and an oil that he
had seen near the tub. One sniff had told him it was not the smell that drove
him crazy, but it was for bathing. D sank into the pool enjoying the relaxing.
A thought struck him and he raised his hands to Leon. Leon smiled; the bathtub was
certainly big enough.

-�Dear Bro,
I am just
writing because the counselors said I have to. I do miss you, but I am having
an awesome time. Bikky and Carol are so cool, they don�t care that I don�t
talk. One of the other campers tried to make fun of me, I thought T-Chan was
going to eat him, but Bikky beat him up. He did not get any dessert for two
whole days, so I shared mine with him.
�I was
wondering if instead of you and D picking me up, could T-Chan, Q-Chan and I
ride home with Ryo and Dee, they can drop me off at home, but I want to ride
with Bikky and Carol. See you next week.�-
There Chris
thought that aught to keep Squirrel away from D. He could not stare at him, and
ask him to dinner. Chris thought with a smile. Q-Chan nodded approvingly at the
letter. Not at all liking the attention the Counselor was showing Count D.
Q-Chan sighed, D�s attention was elsewhere, and had been for some time. Q-Chan
knew that if left to their own devices, Leon and D
would figure out the boundaries of their relationship...or sever them.
Leon walked into the PD
with a broad smile on his face. �Good morning Jill, This must be J.J. I've
heard so much about you.� Leon
whistled as he shook the new detective's hand. Leon noted that the young man held
his hand longer than necessary and seemed to be appraising him. Thinking
nothing of it, Leon
went down the hall to his own office. Ryo and Dee were waiting for him. �What's up with you two?� he asked. Leon sat down at his desk with such a contented
look on his face that Dee grinned knowingly.
�I would ask
for the dirty details, but I'll wait till we're out having beer one night.� Dee said with a grin. �You look like the cat that ate
three canaries and followed it down with cream.�
�Sweet cream,�
Leon
muttered as he looked over the files on his desk. �I will never volunteer the
details, but I will tell you once in his bedroom last night, again in his tub
right after and this morning in the shower.� Leon would have said more, but
Ryo's horrified look stopped him. �What?� He asked.
�Poor little
guy.� Ryo said. �How could you be such an inconsiderate beast to him?�
�What are you
talking about?� Leon
demanded. �I was very considerate, I was gentle, and I was caring. I carried
him around the house... You wouldn't believe how little D is, why, I think he
weighs about 100 lbs soaking wet.�
�Leon what you
are not understanding is the pain he must be in. I'd be surprised if he can
stand, let alone walk.� Dee said, trying to make Ryo's point in Leon's
language. Leon's
eyes widened as he thought of how D had lain in bed when he had left that
morning. On his side, looking so sexy, Leon had been hard pressed to leave
him there.
�He did look a
little strained; I thought he was just tired from a lack of sleep.� Leon said. �I
can't believe I hurt him.� Leon
dropped his doughnut he had been in the process of eating.
�He knew what
to expect.� Ryo said. �He did not care. He loves you.�
�I know, he
confessed last night, I love him too.� Leon said.
�DEE!!!� Dee's brows furrowed
as J.J. Ran into Leon and Jill's office. �I haven't seen you in so long.� J. J.
threw his arms up.
�Remember the
last time you jumped him?� Ryo asked his eyes narrow slits.
�Oh, MacLean,
I forgot about you� J.J. Said and smiled tightly. He looked Leon over one
more time before he left the office looking for Jill.
�What happened
the last time he jumped you?� Leon
asked.
�He planted a
kiss on me.� Dee said. �After he knew Ryo and
I were officially together.�
�And I broke
his nose.� Ryo smiled.
�Wow, mousy
bites.� Leon
mumbled.
�Who are you
calling mousy?� Ryo asked.

Break- I just couldn't help myself-
Andy knocked
on the door of the pet shop as she walked in. She scanned the room and found D
sitting on the plush couch drinking a cup of tea. �Well, that's odd, you
usually sit in your chair,� Andy said. She bounded over and bounced onto the
couch with D. Though she jiggled him around, the tea did not slosh, although he
did wince. �Something wrong?� She asked and began to
serve herself tea.
�I'll get the honey;
I was not expecting you today.� D sat down his cup and stood. Andy noted that
although he was walking as graceful as ever, there was a bit of slowness to his
gait that had nothing to do with his usual daintiness.
�Sore muscles
from too much Yoga?� Andy asked when D came back with the little glass jar of
fresh made honey.
D sighed and
turned red. He could never lie to her, and yet he did not want to talk about
what was bothering him. He did not feel it was a bother, true he was sore and
true he had been in pain, but he had also enjoyed himself, immensely.
�Now if that
is not a Cheshire cat grin, I don't what is. I say, that is the same expression
I wore after my honeymoon, now spill, or I'll, have to touch you.� Andy held up
her hand and wiggled her fingers.
D's eyes
widened, he knew of her empathic powers and figured he'd rather give her the
spare telling than have her see and feel what had gone on in the pet shop. �Leon,� D began.
�Say no more,
I get the picture.� Andy said and sipped her tea. �So, you're in love, does he
love you?� D blushed and nodded. �Well, Congratulations. I'm surer there is no
point in me asking if you have sent a message to your grandfather, I'm sure you
are not even thinking about your grandfather.�
�I am so sorry
my lady, I swear, it slipped my mind, nothing like this has ever happened
before.� D said realizing that he had indeed not thought about is mission, or
his grandfather, He had thought only of himself, and Leon.
�I
understand.� Andy said. �Of course nothing like this has ever happened before;
you've never been in love before.� D blushed and suddenly became very
interested in fixing another perfect cup of tea.

Break
Leon looked at the box of chocolates and frowned,
it just seemed so ordinary, for the past three years, Leon had been
bringing D chocolate. Today he wanted something new, something special. Of
course the letter from Chris would add to the gift. Leon passed a jewelry store and
smiled as he saw a pair of topaz studs next to another pair with some sort of
purple stone. Leon
left the store short $300, but along with the chocolate and Chris's' letter... Leon was hoping
to find D ready for another night of lovin'.
D looked up as
Leon
walked into the shop, �Hey, you're on the couch today, I thought you loved your
hard assed chair.�
D stood slowly
and walked over to Leon.
D brought Leon's
hand up to his lips and bit down. �Language dear,� D chided.
His eyes lighted on the chocolate factory box and widened. �For
me?�
Leon sucked his bitten
finger and grinned, �Maybe,� he said. Leon looked over and saw that D had
been eating fresh strawberries from a crystal bowl. D followed his line of
vision.
�Andy brought
them by today, fresh from Arcadia.�
D said, he picked one up and offered it to Leon. Instead of taking the berry
from D, Leon
took his hand and guided it to his lips, careful not to bite the delicate
appendage. D smiled. �I have an idea; this pot can be used to melt chocolate.�
D took the chocolate from Leon
and placed it in an empty pot. He placed it on the small burner and within
minutes the chocolate was melting.
�So,� Leon said as he
looked at D�s earrings. �How attached to those are you?�
�Attached to
what?� D asked as he sat back on the couch.
�Your
earrings,� Leon
said.
D�s eyes widened
as he touched his earrings. �You do not like them?� His brow furrowed as Leon pulled a
small box out of his pocket and sat beside him.
�No, I mean I
do. It�s just that, well today I was out walking and I saw these and I thought
of you. Or rather I was thinking of you when I saw these.� Leon opened the
box and revealed the two pairs of earrings.
�Oh my, Leon,� D said
as he looked at the small studs. �They�re beautiful.� D took one of each pair
of the earrings and replaced his bloodstones. He placed his old earrings in the
box to keep them safe. D scooted foreword on the couch and placed his lips
against Leon�s.
Leon
became lost in the kiss.
�You are so
sweet.� Leon
mumbled and nibbled the cherry red lips pressed so temptingly against his own.
D sighed,
�Speaking of sweet.� D pulled away from Leon and dipped a strawberry into
the melted chocolate. He held it above the pot until the dripping stopped and
offered it to Leon.
Again Leon
did not take it from D�s hand, instead he opened his mouth. D fed him the treat
and gasped as Leon
seized his hand and licked the stray chocolate from his fingers.
Leon picked up a strawberry
and dipped into the chocolate, he placed it against D�s mouth. Leon watched,
transfixed as D bit into the berry. As D began to lick the stray drops from his
own lips, Leon
leaned towards him and stole the last bits from his lips. Leon moved from
his lips to his neck. D sighed and clung as Leon picked him up and began to
head towards the bedroom. �Leon,�
D said on a gasp.
�What? Oh yeah
the mess, I�ll clean it up later.� Leon said,
he sat D down long enough to turn off the fire underneath the chocolate. No
point in burning the place down, he thought.
�Leon, I... Never mind.� D said as he raised his arms to Leon. Leon smiled and
picked D back into his arms. D hoped he would get used to this soon. Leon sat D on
his bed and undid the frog buttons at the neck of D�s black Cheongsam. The red
border was the next to go.
�Baby, you
wear too many clothes.� Leon
grumbled as he undid D�s pants.
�Anticipation
is part of the enjoyment.� D said and moaned as Leon slid down to his lap.

Break
Andy tried to
open the door of the pet shop and frowned. What was the shop doing closed in
the middle of the afternoon? Was something wrong? Was D ill? Andy looked around
to make sure no one was watching her as her hands glowed silver. She pressed
her hand against the lock and smiled when the door sprang open. �D,� She called
in the shop. �Count D, where are you?� Andy walked around the chop trying not
to panic. She rounded the corner and saw D sitting at a vanity brushing his
hair. �There you are,� She gasped and walked forward. �Getting a late start
today?�
D looked up
and smiled. �Very late, but the animals have been fed, and cleaned. I am simple
late opening the shop. I have not been completely irresponsible.� D stood
wearing only deep blue pants and a sleeveless ankle length white sheath. D
slipped into a pair of white slippers and donned a blue and white patterned
outer robe. Securing the last of the buttons he turned to Andy. �You did not
break my door did you? Leon
does it often enough as it is.�
�I did not
break your door, I just convinced it to open.� Andy smiled and her eyes shone
brightly silver even though the sun streamed into the room.
�Perhaps I can
convince you to join me for some tea, after I open the shop of course.� D said
and glided gracefully as he could down the hall. He paused when Andy did not
follow him. �Is something wrong?�
�Are you sure
you�re okay, I mean...you look like you are in pain?� Andy chewed her bottom
lip. D smiled and nodded, Andy sighed and followed D to the front of the shop, there was a way she could find out. Andy pouted, she hated
having to read emotions, it would be better if D told her rather than invading
his mind and body. �D,� Andy said as he opened the drapes and unlocked the
door. �Talk to me.�
D looked over
at Andy and sighed. She had become a valued friend. A friend he could trust. He
just did not feel right complaining when he truly did enjoy it every time he
found himself in Leon�s
arms. �I just feel a little sore, that�s all.� D said and began to set up a Tea
setting.
�You haven�t
had a break,� Andy said incredulously. �Every night he�s been here. I know you
two are wrapped up in your feelings right now, but well, D honey, You can barely walk.�
�He gives me
so much; I could never deny him pleasure.� D looked away from Andy as he felt
burning tears sting his eyes. �Actually I am pleased that he desires me so
much.�
Andy took D�s
hand and patted it. �You don�t have to deny him anything, there are other
ways.� She squeezed his hand and looked at him meaningfully. �Another way would
be...oral.� Andy sipped her tea and avoided D�s gaze. �That ought to buy a day
or two to heal.�
�Why
princess...� D smiled. �Are you embarrassed?�
�Of course I�m
embarrassed,� Andy squawked. �I just advised a friend to give blowjobs.� The
last was whispered as she looked furtively around the shop.
�I don�t think
the animals will tell anyone, they have no clue what you are talking about.� D
assured her. He would have said more but a customer entered the shop. Andy sat
back and watched as the customer demanded that Count D give him the most
expensive frog he had...something exotic. Andy smiled as she watched D lead the
man to the back of the shop.
Leon, Ryo and
Dee entered the shop just as D was showing his latest customer out. Leon winced and
looked into the box the man carried. It looked like an ordinary frog. Leon gasped and
moved back as it looked as if the Frog had winked at him. He looked up to find
D with his hands clasped in front of him smiling his charming smile.
"Detectives," He said in his smooth as silk voice. "Welcome back
to my shop, anything I can do for you?" D looked at the clock on the wall
even though he knew it was tea time. Leon was so predictable.
"Please sit and I will set out more tea. You all remember Andy I
trust?"
For the first
time Leon
noticed the girl sitting on the couch with one of D's cats in her lap.
"Hello," he said to her. Leon wondered why she frowned at
him and turned away. What had he done?
"D I must
return home, I ..." Andy walked to D and whispered in his ear. "I can
officially summon you to the palace for a few days."
"The
offer is greatly appreciated, your highness." D said. Andy pouted that he
would use her official title; she thought they had advanced beyond that.
"But I do not wish to leave, there is no reason to. I will, however, think
about all you have said." D looked away from the tears that swam in her
eyes before she left the shop.
"What's
with her?" Leon
asked as he noted D's pained look.
"She
cares for me." D said. "Leon I have told you many times
that there are things in this world that you know nothing about. It would be
foolish of you to assume that the Arcadian kingdom is a normal one." D
allowed Leon
to kiss his lips before he walked off to set out tea for four.
"What did
he mean not a normal kingdom?" Dee asked Leon.
Leon simply shrugged his
shoulders. "There is so much weird shit coming around now-a-days that I
don't even question him anymore. Oh and in a while be prepared to find the frog
guy dead, but D didn't do it and can not be held accountable. It's been the
same story every time for the past few years."
"We know,
we heard as much at the PD," Ryo said and laughed at Leon's
disgruntled look. "How did you fall in love with him?"
"I wish I
knew. One morning I woke and realized I did not want to live with out
him." Leon
sighed. He looked up to see D standing beside the couch smiling at him. Not his
usual charming smile that made you wonder what he was plotting, but a real
smile that made Leon
want to kiss him. D averted his gaze and sat down the tea tray. Before He could
sit, Leon
pulled him into his lap and nuzzled his neck. D closed his eyes and made a
purring sound.
"We could
leave." Dee said and cleared his throat.
"No,
Gentlemen, it's all right." D scooted from Leon's lap. Ryo saw D wince as
bounced on the sofa.
"Oh yeah,
D we got a letter from Chris yesterday, but I got distracted before I could
show it to you." Leon
said. He reached into his pocket and handed D the letter written in a childish
hand. D looked puzzled. "He doesn't want us to pick him up." Leon said.
"He asked if he could ride with you guys." Leon said to Ryo and Dee.
"No
problem, we have more than enough room for a couple of kids and a few
pets." Ryo said with a smile, he watched, concerned, as D shifted on the
couch. He couldn't seem to get comfortable. "I'm sure some of us would
really rather not sit for two hours in a car on sometimes bumpy road." D
blushed and said nothing. Leon,
in typical fashion, was quite clueless.
"Watch
out for the goat." Leon
warned. "I think it likes red meat of the human kind." Leon warned.
"He has
been expressly forbidden to eat anyone." D said. Ryo and Dee began to
laugh but paused at D's earnest look.
"Oh my
God, you're serious!" Dee exclaimed.
"This Arcadian Kingdom," Ryo said. "Just how
not-normal is it?" he asked and saw the large plump strawberries that sat
beside the tea set.
D smiled his
charming smile that normally sent chills down Leon's spine, but now aroused him
because he now knew just how fast D could go from chilling, to red hot. D said
nothing, and Leon
contemplated taking the rest of the day off and staying right there in the pet
shop.

Break
Jill rounded
the corner of the PD and frowned. J.J. was so damned annoying. Twice she
wondered if she could possibly get away with accidentally shooting the little
shit. She was looking for Diana Spacey. It was a common fact that she had done
several assignments in New York,
and Jill was hoping that she would be willing to take J.J off her hands for a
while. Jill walked to Diana's office and frowned as she found it empty. She
turned around and bumped into Ryo and Leon. "Oh hi guys," Jill said.
"Hey
Jill," Leon
said. "I was just showing Ryo here where Diana's office is. What's up, you
look tense?"
"J.J.?" Ryo said before Jill could answer. Jill
nodded miserably. "Why don't we take you to lunch and you can bitch and
rant your lovely little head off." Jill smiled thankfully and left with
Ryo and Leon. "Don't worry about Dee, I
told him we would bring him something back he's working a case and does not
want to be bothered." Ryo said as Jill headed for the office to call Dee.

Break
Dee looked up and frowned when the office door opened.
"I said not to bother me until I figured this thing out." Dee stopped speaking when he saw D standing in the
office. "Sorry little D, but Leon went out to lunch with Jill and
Ryo."
"Why do
you call me Little D?" D asked. Dee stood
and walked over to D, he looked down at him. D simply blushed at the obvious
height difference and stepped away. "I was not exactly looking for Leon, I was
looking for you," D said.
"Me?"
Dee asked and raised a skeptical brow.
"I was
hoping you could help me with something. You seem knowledgeable about these
things." D said his face turning redder by the moment.
"Have a
seat," Dee said and indicated a padded
chair in the office. "What's on your mind?" D said nothing and Dee went to shut the door.
"Well, it
would seem, what I mean is." D frowned. Never in his life had he been
unable to speak his mind. "I want to know how to give...uh... I believe
they are called...blowjobs." Dee tried to
sit in his vacant chair. Due to the fact that he was staring at D with a
mixture of incredulity and horror, he missed and nearly fell to the floor.
"I am really bad at it, Leon
has twice stopped me." D continued, "I just need a break and Andy
suggested it as an alternative, but I don't know how."
"How can
you be bad at it?" Dee asked finally able
to speak. "What'd you do bite him." Dee
laughed, his laughter stopped as D lowered his head and turned, if possible,
redder. "Dear God! You bit him."
"I didn't
mean to, I don't know, he told me to watch my teeth." D said and pouted, something else he had never done before. Love was
really doing a number on him, he thought.
"I am not
teaching you how...Ryo would kill me, and Leon would kill me. Not to mention
it's just wrong in every possible way." Dee
expelled when D still would not look at him.
"Oh no!" D looked up at last. "I would never ask
that, I meant would you tell me, or give me some instructions."
"Now I do
need to eat." Dee said and stood. He was
just opening the door when Andy bounded in.
"D, I am
so sorry about yesterday. I went by the shop to apologize and you weren't
there, I thought you were really mad at me, so I asked Femto-Kun
where you were and he said you came by here. Please forgive me for
meddling." Andy threw herself into D's arms.
D smiled,
"Of course I am not mad at you. It is nice to know you care so much."
D wiped the tears from her face with De's proffered handkerchief. "Come
now, Detective Laytner and I was just heading out for
some lunch, and he may help me out with the problem I seem to be having."
"Oh
right..." Andy's eyes widened as she looked at D. "Right the
problem...hmmm I have an idea. Count D, where is the nearest grocery
store?"
"There is
one right around the corner from the shop, why?" D asked, not sure he
liked the devilish glint in her eyes. Andy giggled and grabbed his hands; she
waved Dee to follow them and ran gaily from
the Police Station.

Break
Andy hid the
contents of her bag until they had reached the interior of the pet shop. Dee sat on D's usual strait-backed chair eating a
fresh-made sandwich that she had gotten him in lieu of restaurant food. Count D
sat on the plush couch as directed. Andy emptied the contents of the bag on the
table. D looked confused as he stared at four boxes of popsicles, all
strawberry flavored. Andy opened a box and pulled one out. "Here,"
she thrust it at D. "Eat this, don't worry it is all natural, I eat them
myself."
"I don't
understand." D said and held the popsicle by its
wooden stick.
"I
do," Dee said and smirked at Andy. Dee turned and took the popsicle
from D and held it to his lips. "Suck it." D's eyes widened and his
mouth opened to gasp. Dee placed the popsicle in his mouth. D pulled it away and winced. "Too cold on your teeth huh?" Dee
said knowingly. D nodded and covered his paining mouth. "Now here,"
Dee handed D the popsicle, "just keep trying till you can suck on it
without it touching your teeth; that will cut down on at least half of Leon's
discomfort."
"Oh my
God, you bit him." Andy said to D who blushed and concentrated on his popsicle.
"It's
more like scraping of the teeth; I had to train Ryo you know." Dee said and went back to his sandwich.
"Ugh...
TMI," Andy said and picked up a popsicle of her
own. At D's questioning look Andy grinned. "Oh no, Nestoir
has no complaints...It's almost a hundred degrees outside, in case you didn't
notice. I'm boiling," Andy complained and began to gratefully eat her popsicle. D simply blushed and went back to his popsicle.
Once D had
begun to work on his fifth popsicle Dee
took it and looked it over, "Good job little D, no teeth marks. Now what
else is there, oh yeah, have you ever gagged?"
"Gagged?"
D asked not sure what Dee meant.
Andy sighed
and handed D a fresh popsicle. "How far down your
throat can you get this?" D slipped the popsicle
about halfway into his mouth before he choked. "Not very," Andy mumbled.
"Try
again," Dee said. "Just try to relax
your throat and swallow." D tried again. His face turned bright red and
his eyes were running after an extended fit of coughing. "Good thing you
got four boxes." Dee said to Andy who
nodded and opened the second box. He was not going to ask how they were staying
cold sitting there on the table in the sun. Like Leon said last night, it was just
better not to ask.

Break
Sorry for the
wait. I have been a bit under the weather. Well here is the latest installment
of WSOT. Please feel free to let me know what you think. I look forward to
hearing from you.
Leon hung up his cell phone
as he entered the pet shop. He was looking forward to kissing D�s sweet lips.
He swore as he realized that Ryo was not his only companion today. He had not
confessed the new status of his relationship with D to Jill and he did not want
her to find out by witnessing a heated embrace. And, he thought with a smirk,
no embrace with D could be anything but heated. Surprisingly Randolf had told no one of what he had learned. Leon figured he
had that darned Princess to thank for that. Leon did not know why she hated
him, but the last time they had seen each other she had glowered at him.
�Lost in
thought?� Jill asked Leon
as she saw the Count on the couch sipping tea. Dee and Andy looked up with
guilty expressions as Leon
placed his hands on D�s shoulders and gave a gentle squeeze. It would have to
suffice until he could get D alone. �Good afternoon Detectives, Miss Jill you
look lovely as usual.� D stood and nodded politely. His eyes fell on Leon and stayed
there he smiled and licked his lips.
Ryo looked
over at Dee and Andy who were studiously avoiding anyone�s gaze. �What have you
been up to?� He asked Dee who grinned and
shrugged his shoulders.
�It was all
her.� Dee said and pointed to Andy who had
meandered away from the group to answer her cell phone.
�AH... Count
D, the chief wants you to stop by the station.� Leon said trying his best to remain
professional. �He says he wants to speak with you about the Randolf
situation. Are you able to come away for a bit?� D wondered at Leon�s red face
as he looked at him.
�Yes of course
Detective Orcot, I�ll be just a moment.� D said, He
was confused, but if Leon
wanted formal...
�So,� Dee said
to Leon
as D went to the back of the shop to prepare for a trip to the police
department. �While he is locking up the register, I should tell you, or remind
you that tomorrow we are going to retrieve the kids.�
�Oh yeah,
thanks, I don�t know what�s gotten into Chris. I guess he has outgrown the need
to have a big brother pick him up.� Leon grumbled.
�Don�t pout
that he finds us cooler than you, No doubt Bikky has been filling his head with
our escapades in New York.�
Dee smirked and Ryo punched his arm. �What?�
�I�m sure your
brother still thinks the world of you and that some other reason prompted his
desire to ride with us, probably because of the counselor that has a thing for
D.� Ryo said thoughtfully as D approached the group, as every one turned to
look at him, D turned a questioning gaze to Leon.
�Just
commenting on your boyfriend,� Leon
grumbled and looked at the clock. �We should get going, the chief is expecting
you.�
D was puzzled
at Leon�s
sudden change of mood. �My boyfriend? But you...� D
was extremely confused when Leon
shushed him and inclined his head at Jill. Was Leon ashamed of him? Of what they had shared? Tears stung D�s eyes as they
prepared to leave the shop. Andy tugged on his sleeve and frowned at the brief
hint of his emotions she had been able to feel �D, I have to go now.� D
wondered why Andy was not quit meeting his eyes. �There is a situation and we
are all leaving town for a while.� D�s eyes widened as he looked at her.
�Promise me
you will be careful.� D said, knowing her situations were never simple.
Andy smiled
her most bright smile and tossed herself into D�s small arms. �I promise.� She
held him a moment longer and D could feel her searching his emotions. He said
nothing as she backed away and glowered thunderously at Leon. �Call me
if you would like to have an extended visit at the palace.� She said and huffed
from the shop, wondering why D put up with Leon�s mercurial moods. Briefly D
wondered if he would ever see her alive again. He wished she were not apart of
the more dangerous missions, but it was her life, her destiny. She was just too
much a child; D thought and smiled a sad smile as he waved her off.
Leon wondered why D was
silent the entire trip to the PD. Usually D would keep up a nice chatter with
Jill. As they entered the PD J.J. caught up with them. �Jill hello, Detective Orcot it is always a pleasure to see you.� J.J. shook Leon�s hand and held on a bit longer than
necessary; he brushed up against Leon as he passed him and moved
down the hallway. The action was not missed by D who lowered his head and
walked to the Chief�s office with out a word to Leon.
�D?� Leon called,
but D ignored his call and knocked on the door. The chief opened the door and D
smiled. Leon
shrugged, �Weird,� he mumbled and went to his office where Ryo and Dee were
talking in hushed voices. Ryo laughed and tried to back away from Dee�s kiss. It was a half-hearted attempt that failed. Leon cleared
his throat to gain their attention. �Alright guys, lets get back to work.� Leon said and
could not wait to get his hands on D.

Break
D looked at
the chief and smiled even though he thought his heart was breaking. Is this the
penalty for loving a human? He asked himself as the chief droned on about Randolf�s apology. The chief apologized for D�s rough
treatment and just wanted to make sure that all was satisfied with the outcome
of the entire situation. D smiled his most charming smile and assured the chief
that there were no lingering hard feelings. He sat a while longer discussing
the various training methods for puppies.

Break
Ryo and Dee
excused themselves from Leon and Jill�s office as J.J. entered. Instead of his
usual ogling of Dee, J.J�s eyes went unerringly to Leon. �Cool it
pal, I don�t think the count will appreciate...� Ryo began to say as they passed
J.J on the way out of the office.
�According to
Jill, Detective Orcot and the Count have not made up
their minds, well I have made up mine, and I bet I�ll have him before the Count
even knows he had a chance.� J.J. whispered to Ryo who would have said more but
was pulled from the room by Dee who had a strong urge to take an extra long
break with Ryo. Leon
went to retrieve a file from his cabinet and was cornered by J.J.
�Whoa, a
little close there,� Leon
said and placed his hands on J.J.s shoulder to steady
him as it seemed he was about to fall over. Leon heard a gasp and looked up to
see D standing in the doorway of his office. �Ah... No! D wait come back here.�
Leon
shoved away from J.J. and followed Count D down the hall and out of the PD.
Leon was amazed at how fast D could walk in those long skirts without tripping.
J.J. leaned back smugly against the cabinet and smiled, that could not have
been better timed if he had planned it.
�Wait a moment
please, Detective Laytner, Detective MacLean; would
you mind returning me to the Shop?� D asked. Ryo noted his upset and nodded. He
opened the door for D and tried to stall getting into the car, giving Leon a chance
to catch up and talk to the Count. �Please, I must hurry, the pets need to be
fed, and dinnertime is fast approaching.� D said as Leon reached the car breathing
heavy.
�D, Baby, it�s
not what you think you saw.� Leon
huffed. D turned away from Leon
to hide the tears that brimmed in his eyes. He blinked furiously refusing to
let them fall. Ryo sensed D�s dilemma and started the car.
�Sorry Leon,� Dee
muttered as they pulled away from the station. Leon swore and stomped to his car.
He did not need this now. As he drove to the shop he kept seeing D�s hurt look
as J.J. had stood there clutching his arms, staring up at him. It must have
looked like... Leon
refused to finish the thought as he came to a screeching halt just as D was
entering the pet shop. Leon
heard the door slam and ran towards Dee and Ryo who were about to drive off.
�What�s up with you two?� Dee asked.
�That damned
J.J. grabbed me, D saw it and thought... well, you know, He thought J.J and I
were making out or something.� Leon
said. �Look I gotta go talk to him.� Leon said and
headed to the shop. His first instinct to duck was proved correct as a teapot
came frighteningly close to his head, followed by a cup and a spoon. Leon reached D
before a plate could be tossed at him. He tackled D and pressed him to the
couch.
�I just ate
the greater part of four boxes of popsicles.� D ground out and flipped Leon off of
him. He left Leon
stunned and sitting on the floor dazed. He had used his kung fu on Leon only once.
Leon
shook his head to clear it and reached out to D. �Do not touch me.� D stepped
back and raised his hands to ward Leon off. �Kuso,�
He muttered as he lost the battle to control his tears. First one then another
slid down his pale cheeks.
�How can you
think it? You know I love you.� Leon
said.
�A man will
love his current lover as he loves no one else, but will utilize the nearest
prostitute if the whim should but strike.� D said and turned away to wipe his
face. �I only ask that if you insist on seeing others you do not come near me.�
D fought to control his emotions. Never had he had such difficulty in remaining
calm.
�Baby listen
to me,� Leon
said and pulled D into his arms, not at all caring that D could send him
flying. �I do not have the desire or need to touch anyone but you. J.J. bumped
into me and I held him from falling, that�s all it was. Although I don�t think
it was unintentional on his part to bump into me. Perhaps we should go back to
the station and have a little word with him.� Leon sighed as D turned in his arms
and returned the embrace. He raised D�s tear streaked face and gave him the
kiss he had been longing to give him all day. Perhaps, Leon thought
with a smile, they did not have to go right back. D moaned into Leon�s mouth as Leon�s hands began to travel his
body through his robes.

Break
Ryo found J.J
in the break room smiling. �I wouldn�t gloat if I were you.� Ryo warned.
�According to Jill, D could break you in half without breaking one of his
nails. And Leon
does not like to be taken advantage of, what were you thinking?� Ryo said. J.J
frowned and stood as Jill entered the break room.
�Leon�s looking
for you...� Jill would have said more, but J.J tossed a smug smile to Ryo
before he sauntered down the hall. J.J entered the office and headed directly
for Leon.
He did not notice that Count D was standing near the wall. Leon leaned
against his desk and put out his hands to ward off J.J.
�We need to
talk,� Leon
said and actually had to place his hands on J�J�s
arms to keep him back. �I am currently involved with someone and would
appreciate it if you would stop hitting on me.�
J.J pouted,
�Why, are you afraid you may �hit� back?� J.J asked and moved his hands down to
Leon�s
chest. He would have stroked further but he felt strong slim fingers grasp his
wrist. He looked up startled and stared into narrowed golden and purple eyes.
�It would be
well advised for you to heed the words of the detective and try your best not
to touch what does not belong to you.� D said in a deceptively calm voice.
�What�s it to
you?� J.J asked belligerently.
�What do you
think,� Leon
blustered and backed as far away as he could as J.J�s
other hand came up to caress him. �You can�t be that
dense.� Leon
muttered. J.J attempted to snatch his hand back and found himself in the air
then on the floor with four small scratches on his wrist. D pulled a
handkerchief from inside his sleeve pocket and cleaned the blood from
underneath his nails. D then leaned into Leon and placed a hand on his
chest. He looked down at J.J. and smiled his most chilling smile.
�I do not like
to repeat myself.� Count D said as laughter could be heard in the door way. Ryo
and Dee were hard pressed to contain their mirth in the face of J.J�s newest humiliation. J.J stood and stormed form the
room glowering behind at Count D who made it plainly obvious that Leon was his.
�Sheath the
claws sweet heart.� Leon
said he took D�s hand from his chest and kissed the palm. �I think he got the
picture.� Leon
grinned. �Never had anyone fight over me before. You�re cute when you�re visious,� Leon
grinned. D turned crimson and refused to meet anyone�s gaze. �Now what were you
saying about popsicles?� Leon
asked. D blushed brighter and hid his face against Leon�s chest. Ryo and Dee burst
into uproarious laughter.
Jill walked
into the office just as Leon
raised D�s red face and placed a kiss on his lips. "Whoa... You know,�
Jill said as Leon
looked up but did not stop Kissing Count D. �It's about darn time. I thought
you two would be driving each other insane for a very long time." Jill
exclaimed and laughed as Leon
was finally embarrassed.
�Was it really
that obvious?� Leon
asked Jill who nodded and smirked. Leon�s hand traveled from D�s back
and rested on the curve of his behind. �We probably would have driven each
other crazy if it wasn�t for Dee.� Leon admitted.
�Don�t encourage him.� Ryo muttered as Dee
grinned. D smiled as Leon
did not push him away at the intrusion. Perhaps he was not ashamed of their
love after all.

The pet shop was abnormally quiet. Leon looked over the dinner table
at D and smiled. The candles made him look like a china doll. The expensive
ones they sold in antique shops. D looked up and smiled, Leon felt
grateful that he was sitting in a chair, for he was sure to have fallen if he
had been standing. He noted that the amethyst and topaz earrings did not shine
nearly as bright or as beautiful as D's eyes. Neither of them wanted to break
the silence, D looked back to his salad and tried to work up the courage to
tell Leon
all he had learned today. Being in love was wreaking havoc on his equilibrium.
He was usually so sure of himself, so confident. Courage was not needed to say
a few simple words.

Leon
smiled, D was so beautiful. He had always thought so, but now he could enjoy
the thought, not shove it to the back of his mind in shame. He could admit that
D's hair looked and felt like the finest silk. He could marvel at the sweet taste
of his kiss and look forward to the warm feel of his skin. He knew of D's
secret places. The places that made him moan, purr, or lose his mind. Dee had
given Leon
a suggestion for tonight, since it would be their last night without underage
ears present. Leon
was most anxious to try it.

"I suppose I should explain about the popsicles." D
said, finally able to look Leon
in the eye. D smiled, Leon
had really pretty blue eyes. "You should let your hair grow." D said
on a whim as the thought struck him.

Leon
looked puzzled, "I thought we were talking about popsicles." He said
and grinned he had noted that the last few times, this afternoon included, that
he and D had made love; D had taken the ponytail holder out of his hair.
"If you want�" Leon
said, his face turning red. "D," Leon stood and walked over to D. He
knelt down beside D's chair and took both of his small elegant hands.
"Have I been hurting you?" D looked away from Leon and opened
his mouth to answer. Leon
turned his head back around. "Tell me the truth."

D sighed, and Leon
felt crushed. "At first, yes, every time you came to me, after wards would
be great pain. According to Andy, I could barely walk. But now, there is no
pain, and I look forward to�" D blushed and looked away. "I mean�I
really like when we are together." D squeezed Leon's hands helplessly, "Aishiteru." He melted into Leon's arms as Leon kissed him.

"What did that mean?" Leon asked. He stood and pulled D
to his feet leading him to his bedroom. "That ashi-thng?"

"Aishiteru," D said and
smiled. "It means I love you." As they reached D's bedroom, D smiled
his mischievous smile and sat on his bed. D undid his cheongsam and took off
his sheer sheath that was underneath. He then began to undo Leon's pants.
His eyes widened at the sight of a fully aroused Leon. That was definitely larger
than the popsicles, but Dee had said that the
techniques were the same. Breath, relax, and swallow.
As D prepared to take Leon
into his mouth, Leon
placed his hand underneath his chin and looked into his eyes. D almost smiled
at Leon's
look of apprehension.

"That's not really necessary." Leon said
remembering the pain of D's small teeth scrapping the sides of his cock. D did
smile now and caressed Leon
with his hand.

"It's very necessary." D said and placed a kiss at the
tip. Leon
moaned and D licked the droplet of pre-cum that oozed out. He ran his tongue
along the sides and from back to front. Leon moaned and placed his hand on
D's head. At this signal of acquiesce D opened his mouth and took as much of Leon in as he
could. He felt himself beginning to gag; instead of backing away he relaxed his
throat and swallowed. Leon
gripped his hair and D began to move back and forth alternating sucking with
licks and kisses. Leon's
moans grew louder. Somewhere he knew he should warn D, but no coherent words
would come out of his mouth. D brought his left hand up and cupped Leon's
testicles.

"Ah� Baby� Move�" Leon managed. D was adamant in his
suction and refused to be displaced. Leon tried one last time to move D
before he lost the ability to do anything but revel in the sensations. Vaguely
he heard D choke, gag and spit into his hand. Leon brought his hand up to finish
the job as D looked horrified from his place on the bed. Leon collapsed
to his knees beside the bed and took D into his arms. "Marvelous,
wonderful, I love you�. I'm so sorry." Leon said when he realized what he
had done in D's mouth. Leon
never minded D, he tasted like glaze, he wasn't sure it was true about himself.
His worries were proved correct.

"Ugh." D muttered and made a face, he reached for a
glass of tepid water that usually resided by the bed and took a drink trying to
rinse his mouth. Leon
tried to resist a smile but found it nearly impossible not to laugh. Once Leon settled
down he noted that D was still at the edge of the bed looking stunned. The
empty cup fell unheeded to the floor as Leon climbed into bed and took D
rolling to the middle. "How can you eat that, every time I�? It's
disgusting."

"Baby, you don't taste bad, every one has their own personal
taste, and you eat so much sugar�" Leon shrugged.

"And what, are you on a steady diet of beer and
pretzels?" D complained.

"And pizza," Leon laughed and held D close. His
hand began to massage D's back, sliding in ever widening circles. "That was
wonderful; don't tell me that is why you ate so many popsicles?"

"It was Andy's idea, Dee
also helped with a few pointers." D said. The room was dark so Leon could not
see D's blush, but he could feel his face heat.

"I can't believe you asked them." Leon said and
began to rub further along D's back. He placed D on his stomach and kissed the
base of his skull, then further down his neck. D moaned as Leon licked
down his spine. D shifted his hips. Leon smiled and grabbed one of the
pillows and placed it underneath D's hips positioning him in just the right
way; his pale bottom shining in the dim light of the dark room. "You
aren't the only one that got a little advice. Ever heard of reaming?" Leon asked. D
shook his head and turned to look at Leon. D gasped as Leon placed a
kiss on each pale cheek. "Never let it be said that I've never kissed your
ass."

"Wha�Ah�oh�Ohhhhh"
D writhed as Leon
began a series of licks and kisses. Leon used his hands to spread D's
cheeks and lick further in between. D gasped as Leon slid two fingers inside and
began to move back and forth. Leon
wedged his tongue in between his fingers and D thought the world would explode.
"Ah� Leon�
ah" D gasped as he bucked against the pillow. "Leon."

"What." Leon
mumbled and removed his tongue only to use it to lick the deep crevice of D's
backside. D gasped and trembled, never had he felt something so�mind-blowing.
Well, Leon
thought, here he had found something else to make D lose his mind. According to
Dee, Ryo screamed like a little bitch. Leon wanted to
hear D scream. He intensified his kisses and licks and heard a ripping sound
and smiled, D's nails must have made it through the sheets. D's moans became
louder and higher pitched as Leon
sucked and licked furiously. D gave a final hoarse shout and Leon could feel
him convulsing around his fingers. D made sobbing, panting sounds as Leon crawled
over him and pulled him into his arms. Leon removed the soiled pillow from
underneath D and gathered him close. "You forgive me for tasting
bad?" He said and placed a kiss on D's forehead.

"Uh�" Was all D could manage to say. He took several
deep breaths and tried again. "Not unless you agree to change your diet
just a bit." D said. He began to place kisses along Leon's chest.

Leon
smiled. "Agreed," He said and reached for an addition to D's
nightstand. D smiled as he felt Leon
applying the lubricant. He moaned as Leon slid two fingers inside. D
began to shift his hips wanting more, silently begging Leon to take
him. He raised his legs and was confused as Leon shook his head and turned him
back to his stomach. Leon
adjusted D till he was on his hands and knees. "Is this
uncomfortable?" Leon
asked. D shook his head and peered over his shoulder at Leon. Leon had never
seen anything so sexy. D's hair fell in wild disarray around his face, his lips
were swollen from kisses and he arched his back the way a cat does when it's
stretching. Leon
rubbed the excess lubricant on his cock and hoped he would not cum from just
the sight of D bent over waiting for him.

Leon
eased into him and they both sighed. Leon placed his hands on D's hips
and gently rocked back and forth. D moaned low backed up against Leon. D went
from balancing on his hands to his elbows giving Leon more access. Leon groaned as
he felt himself slide deeper into D. Leon placed his hands on D's hips and
began to rock back and forth. He leaned over D and whispered "I love you
so much." "Aishiteru" D moaned
at the same time. No more words were needed.

D was close Leon
could tell by the way his breathing hitched. He reached around and stroked D's
cock. D bit his lip but could not contain the cries building in his throat as Leon drove him
over the edge of sanity again. Leon
smiled and moved faster in D knowing that pure bliss was only a
few�more�seconds�away. Leon
gasped and filled D with all he had. Once consciousness returned to Leon he
realized that he had collapsed on top of D. He rolled to the side and pulled D
with him. D smiled up at him in the dark. "Incredible," D moaned.

Leon
smiled, "my thoughts exactly." Leon kissed D again before they
fell into a deep sleep, wrapped in each other's arms.

Break

He was going home today! Chris ran around the cabin stuffing his
things in to his suitcase. Q-Chan chirped at him and tried to pull the clothes
out again. "I think he wants you to fold them." Chris looked up and
frowned at Squirrel. "So this thing," Squirrel indicated Q-Chan.
"Belongs to your brothers friend?" Chris nodded and took the things
out of the suitcase and began to fold them neatly. "So what time should
your brother and his friend be coming to pick you
up?" Squirrel had been looking forward to seeing the Asian beauty again,
he did not care that it was a guy. Chris smiled and handed over Leon's note
that had come in the mail.

Squirrel frowned as he read the message. -To whom it may concern,
I am giving Christopher Orcot permission to ride home
with Detectives Dee Laytner and Randy MacLean. They
are friends of mine and I trust in their ability to see him home safely. Signed, Detective Leon Orcot. -
Squirrel read the note again and frowned. "Your brother did not write
this, but he signed it." Chris smiled and showed him another note. This
one was a card addressed to Chris from the Count. It was the same neat
handwriting. Squirrel sighed. If it was meant for him to meet the beauty again
it would happen in time. He was a firm believer in fate.

Break

Leon
awoke with a smile. He was glad he did not have to work today, he had all day
to lay I bed and enjoy the feel of D sleeping beside him. He turned and saw
that D was still sleeping deeply. Leon smiled and caressed D's head.
No wonder he was exhausted, they had been up all night. Leon had
discovered just how wonderfully flexible D really was. Leon would be
surprised if D got out of bed all day, but he was thankful that D was no longer
in pain. Leon
sighed and eased away from D. He went to the bathroom and had hot shower. He
marveled at the myriad of scratch marks that covered his arms, shoulders and
lower back.

As Leon
dressed he paused by the bed to kiss his sleeping wildcat. D stirred and
snuggled deeper beneath the blankets. Leon smiled and slipped from the
shop, hoping to return before D awakened. Leon found a bakery just as it was
opening and got the sweetest doughnuts and pastries they had to offer. He
returned to the shop and found that D had not moved. He sat the food on an
ornate tray he had found and carried it into the bathroom where he ran D a hot
bubble bath. With a smile he carried a box of chocolates into the room and sat
beside D's prone form on the bed. He plucked a delicate morsel from the box and
waved it under D's nose.

D mumbled appreciatively and opened his eyes. He smiled up at Leon,
"good morning." He yawned and reached out his arms to Leon. Leon leaned
down and kissed his lips. Leon
backed away and placed the chocolate against D's lips. With a smile, D opened
his mouth. Leon
silently fed D a few pieces before he climbed on top of him. D looked up at him
and smiled. "What a wonderful way to wake up. What time did you get
up?" D noticed that Leon
looked fully showered and dressed.

"About 45 minutes ago." Leon said, "Write me a list of
who gets what, and I'll feed the critters while you take a bath."

"Ummm� I wish I could, but I don't
have time to fill the tub. There is just enough time for a shower if I want to
be dressed and have breakfast myself before Chris makes it home. Why is the
pick up so much earlier than the drop off?" D made a face. Leon smiled. He
scooped D into his arms, again marveling that he was so small. He smiled at the
mouth shaped bruises along D's hips and on the left side of his neck.

"Take as long as you need," Leon said. D was speechless as he
noted the tray of food and the bubble bath.

"There is a list in the top drawer of the nightstand." D
said as Leon
sat him on his feet. D kissed Leon
and stepped into the welcoming bath. "Thank you so much� you spoil
me."

"I love you," Leon said as he walked out of the
bathroom. He was extremely careful to feed each animal the correct portion of
food. He would hate to become another of the pets' victims, not when he was so
happy. The little monkey chirped happily and crunched his lettuce. "You're
kind of cute, you know." Leon
said and scratched the little creature behind the ear. Leon snatched
his hand back as a young boy sat and smiled at him holding lettuce in one hand
and tofu in another. He looked around the shop and saw many people peering back
at him. Leon
blinked and was surrounded by animals again. He shook his head and went about
the rest of the feeding process.

Break

Chris ran with Bikky and Carol to meet Ryo and Dee where the other
parents were waiting. Tetsu and Cujo
were not far behind. Tetsu had Sweetie on his head.
"Hey squirt," Ryo said and embraced Bikky. He kissed Carol's cheek
and ruffled Chris' hair. Chris shyly stood by. He had heard so much about them
from Bikky, but now he realized he had only ever met them for a few minutes.
"Weird how much you look like a mini-Leon." Ryo laughed. Dee stuck his tongue out at Chris. Chris laughed and felt
his apprehension melt away. They all piled into the Escalade and set off down
the road.

Break

Leon
found D sitting at his vanity half dressed and brushing his wet hair. He had
just finished feeding all the animals. D looked up and Leon leaned
down to kiss him. D sighed and turned in his seat to look at Leon.
"What's on your mind?" Leon asked at D's worried look.

"What will Chris think of spending the night here sometimes? Unless you plan to leave in the middle of the night." D
tried not to let on that the prospect of waking up alone after a night of
loving did not appeal to him.

Leon
had not thought of any of that. "Uh� Well� I don't know. It should not be
too weird; I mean Chris practically lives here, so it should not strike him as
too odd if I stay over sometimes." Leon frowned as still D did not
look satisfied with his answer. Leon
knelt beside D and took his hands. "He probably won't even notice at
first."

"But when he does, what will we explain to him?" D
asked, before Leon
could answer, D smiled. "I have an idea, I mean, if you are willing."
D looked away from Leon
and continued. "There is more than enough room here, and Chris should not
be living in that pig sty you call an apartment. You would not have to worry
about cooking anything, I can�"

Leon
grasped D's chin and turned him to face him. "Are you asking me to move
in?" Leon
said gently and caressed D's face. D turned red and nodded. Leon straitened
and slid between D's legs, glad that D was not wearing his full outfit yet. He
wrapped his arms around D and smiled. "Sure�It'll leave more money for
Chris' schooling if I don't have to pay much rent. I'll help out here with the
rent."

D laughed and shook his head. "Grandfather pays for
everything."

"Your Grandfather pays for you�"Leon said,
"Not the guy you live with."

"Grandfather will be happy for me." D said. "He has
wondered for a long time when I would open myself to love, I have rejected so
many." D turned redder and looked away from Leon. Leon laughed and kissed D.

"I have some time off next week, I'll get our stuff and
officially move in then�That sound good?" D nodded and submitted to Leon's
passionate kisses. "Now get dressed, or we really won't be ready when the
munchkins show up." Leon
backed away and enjoyed watching D put on the rest of his clothing.

Break

Chris bounded from the car and ran headlong for the pet shop
anxious to see his brother, Count D and the rest of the Animals. He had made
them all presents in the arts and crafts of the camp and he was looking forward
to telling his brother how he had protected the Count from Squirrel. Bikky said
the man was a pervert and Chris believed him. Chris opened the door and ran
directly to his brother. He was so ecstatic to be home that he did not notice
that he and Count sprang apart and avoided each others gaze as if they were
guilty of something.

-Bro! Bro! Did you miss me? - Chris bounced around until Leon picked him
up in a bear hug. Chris laughed and returned the hug. Leon sat him on
his feet and Chris tossed his arms around D's slim waist. -Squirrel is a pervert�
Bikky said so, so I had to keep you away from the camp. Bikky said that Leon was not a
pervert and that I should not be surprised at anything he does. What did he
mean? -

D's eyes widened, could Bikky have understood what had been going on
with him and Leon? It would not surprise D, he lived with Dee and Ryo and he
was a fairly observant child. D's thoughts were interrupted as the pet shop
door opened again. Q-Chan flew and landed happily on D's shoulder. D cuddled
the little creature as Bikky Carol, Ryo and Dee
entered followed by T-Chan and the other animals.

T-Chan growled ferociously at Leon. "T-Chan," D scolded
and walked forward. "You are not allowed�" D was cut off as T-Chan
growled at him. D held out a hand to consol T-Chan and had to quickly snatch it
back as T-Chan snapped at him. T-Chan growled more and ran from the room. D
looked stunned as he looked after his pet.

"He tried to bite you." Leon said,
all of his confusion could be heard in his voice.

"It must be a shock to him; the scent must have shocked
him." D said he tried not to be hurt by T-Chan's rejection. "Well I
have prepared a nice Lunch won't you all join us?" D turned and smiled at
the stunned onlookers. "He'll settle down." D assured them as he
shook Carol's hand. She was still shocked to find that D was indeed a man. He
was just so pretty, she thought, and his nails, simply marvelous. D noted
carol's close scrutiny of him and smiled. "Q-Chan, would you go and inform
T-Chan that we will be having lunch soon, if he would care to join us."

Leon
tried not to show surprise as an angry young man with ram horns joined them at
the table. D smiled as he realized that Leon could now see the animals true
forms, it was a side effect of being intimate with a Kami.
T-Chan sat silent through out most of the meal. Towards the end he looked over
at D. "Count D, I want you to find me a home." T-Chan swallowed with
some difficulty. "I don't care with whom." Ryo and Dee were steadfast
in their original plan of not asking D to explain any of the weird things that
went on in the pet shop.

D sat down his fork carefully, "you are always welcome here,
but if that is your wish�" D blinked and Leon noted that he was fighting
tears.

T-Chan stood and glared at D, "my wish is to not remain
here and watch you be a WHORE for that human." T-Chan yelled and
pointed an accusing finger at Leon.
D stood silently and left the room. He reached his bedroom and collapsed on the
bed. Un- mindful of the embarrassed silence he had left behind in his dining
room.

The sound of a resounding slap could be heard as Leon turned on
T-Chan who placed a hand to his stinging cheek and ran from the room. Leon looked
around the table and sighed. With an apologetic look he headed from the room to
try his best to consol D. Leon found D curled up on the bed
sobbing brokenly. "Hon� Don't do that it drives me crazy." Leon gathered D
close and felt the sobs wracking his thin frame.

"He�He hates me now� What have I done that was
so wrong?" D sobbed. "For centuries my family has chosen lovers,
Grandfather often teased me about not taking one, Q-Chan hinted all the time� I
don't understand." Leon
rubbed a soothing hand over D's back and placed kisses along his face.

"You've done noting wrong, he's just a little confused. I'll
go talk to him." Leon
said and stood to do just that.

"No! Leon,"
D said panicked. "You'll kill each other." D wiped his face and tried
to staunch the flow of more tears.

"I promise I won't kill him, if I have to maim him to get him
off to me�Well he will still be alive." Leon said. He pulled away from D
and left the room in search of one angry goat-boy.

Leon
found T-Chan in the room that was often used for Chris when he stayed over.
T-Chan growled when he saw Leon
enter the room. Leon
had no qualms about pulling out his gun. "I have no problem killing you
right now, but I won't hurt D that way. He loves you." Leon sighed and
sat on the bed, his gun held limply in his hand. "And I love him, why did
you say that to him?" Leon
asked T-Chan. T-Chan reverted to his animal form and turned his back on Leon. "I
know you understand what has been going on, do you even know the meaning of the
word whore?" Leon
asked.

"I'm not stupid," T-Chan turned and growled. "I can
smell your filthy scent all over him, and he is likewise all over you."

"Tell me the meaning of the word whore." Leon demanded
and glowered at T-Chan.

T-Chan lowered his head. "A whore is someone who sells
themselves cheaply to anyone with enough cash."

"I ought to smack you again." Leon growled. "Is that
honestly what you think he has done?" Leon asked. T-Chan breathed heavily
trying not to cry. He had been in love with Count D far longer than Leon could
understand. Just because he had left for a week didn�t mean�

"I have been in love with D for a long time and he has
likewise loved me�We finally admitted it, I thought you would be happy for
him." Leon
sat and put his gun away.

"Is Count D mad at me?" T-Chan asked he sniffled and
wiped an errant tear from his face.

"Mad at you�Tetsue. Count D is
broken hearted; he has been crying non-stop since he reached the room." Leon said. He
stared at T-Chan's horrified look before the little Goat ran from the room
intent on reaching Count D.

"Count D," T-Chan said when he had reached D's prone
form on the bed. "I don't want you to find me a home I'm sorry I called
you a�a�"D sat up and reached out his arms to T-Chan who reverted to his
goat form and crawled into D's lap.

"It's alright," D said, "I understand that coming
home and finding out that way with out warning. I should have known that you
would be able to smell the changes that have taken place. I wasn't
thinking."

"As is your right� I had no right to yell at you, or insult
you. Please forgive me." T-Chan said and nuzzled D's neck.

"Yes of course I forgive you. But�" D grew solemn.
"I must have your promise that you will behave yourself, you see�Leon and
Chris will be staying here starting next week."

T-Chan looked at Leon
and then back to the Count and smiled. "I can live with that, but can you
live with him?" T-Chan smirked as he knew Leon and Count D were
remembering the current state of Leon's apartment. T-Chan placed a
kiss on D's cheek before he ran from the room to apologize to their guests for
his rude behavior.

"I refuse to allow you to place those horrid pictures anywhere
near our home." Count D said to Leon who pulled him into his arms and
kissed him.

"Our Home�I like the sound of that." Leon said and
fell with D onto the bed.

Break
Chris tip-toed
over to Pon-Chan and T-Chan and tried his best to wake
them. T-Chan woke with a growl, and glared bleary-eyed at the frightened young
boy. "T-Chan, I'm sorry I woke you, but I think something is wrong with
D." Chris said, T-Chan, realizing that Chris was truly frightened, got up
and went to investigate. He was careful not to awaken Pon-Chan.
"I was going to the bathroom and I heard it." Chris tugged T-Chan's
arm and pulled him to D's bedroom door.
T-Chan pressed
his nose to the door and backed away with an odd mixture of anger and humor.
The sounds Chris had worried about were unmistakably Count D and Leon. But
nothing was wrong. "Uh...Ahh...yes...uh,"
could be heard faintly through the door. T-Chan blushed and pulled Chris away
from the door. "They're fine, let's go back to bed kid."
"They who?" Chris asked, he had
been well tucked in by the Count by the time Leon had made it in from work. He
wondered at all the strange behavior that had been going on in the pet shop
since his return yesterday. He felt he would never understand T-Chan's outburst
at the count and no one would explain it to him. Chris vowed to take all of his
questions to Bikky as soon as he could.

Break
Leon flopped back onto the
bed and pulled D into his arms. Breathing heavily, D wiped Leon's sweat
dampened brow. "Do you want to talk about it?" D asked as he placed a
series of small, quick kisses along Leon's lips.
"About what?" Leon asked and rolled to the side
of the bed where he sat up. Leon
turned and placed his head in his hands. He looked up again and found D just
staring at him. It was his usual calm, assessing stare that looked so out of
place in the dim room with the scent of their lovemaking lingering in the air. Leon reached
out and pulled D into his lap. With a sigh, D sat back and allowed himself to be cuddled. Leon pressed his face into the
curve of D's neck and inhaled deeply. D knew something must be upsetting Leon... he was
usually so gentle and tender. Such could not be said of tonight...

Break...Insert Flashback...
D had just got
Chris to sleep all tucked in and story read. He was closing the shop when Leon came in.
He said nothing, just kissed D as if he would never get the chance to do so
again. Still saying nothing, Leon
had simply gone to the bedroom. D had found him pacing back and forth liked a
caged animal that knows it can only go in circles and so it slowly goes insane.
"Leon?
Is everything all...?" D could not finish. Leon grabbed him and kissed
him, undoing his cheongsam at the same time. D decided to help and undid his
clothing to save them from Leon's
un-careful handling.
D turned to
get into the bed, but was grasped from behind. D could only be grateful that Leon had
remembered the lubricant as he began what could only be called pounding. Their
lovemaking had never been so intense, D was not sure he disliked it. As a
matter of fact...he liked it a lot. Throughout his enjoyment, he knew that
something was definitely bothering Leon.

Break
"She was
only 16; maybe have been Ryo and Dee's Carol," Leon murmured into D's hair.
"I've found bodies before, hell; I've made some, all in the line of duty
you know. But this girl...what they did to her." Leon pressed
kisses along D's back. "Ryo and Dee said they had a case like this in New York...Carol had
been snatched and everything, but they rescued her in time...no one rescued
this poor girl. Ryo had to tell her parents... she was all they had. Oh God!
Did I hurt you? I would have done better to grab a bottle of vodka and go to my
place for the night."
"That, I
think, would have hurt me more." D said and he looked over his shoulder at
Leon.
"It is better that you should accustom yourself to sharing your problems
with me. You have done so in the past, why should now be different?"
"Well,
now it's just...There was no caressing, no kissing all the little spots that
make you purr, I just...fucked you D... you mean more to me than that... I just
grabbed you and..."
Leon grew silent as he
could feel D shaking in his arms. He looked down to note that D was indeed
laughing at him. "My dear Mr. Detective, Even I know that love and passion
can take many forms."
"But you
are so small, I could have hurt you." Leon said and kissed D's back
again.
"You do
not have to treat me like..." D paused thinking of how Leon had
previously described him, "Like a china doll. I am not made of porcelain,
I will not break." D tilted his head back and captured Leon's lips. He
shifted his hips and moaned as Leon
stiffened beneath him. D braced his hands on Leon's knees and moved back and
forth. "Besides, I always love when we are together." D reached
underneath him and stroked Leon.
Leon
moaned and placed his hands on D's hips lifting him further. Once properly
positioned, D slid down and sighed. Leon cradled him in his lap for a
moment before the world outside their room vanished.

Break
-Count D,
is my brother here? - Count D looked up at Chris over the breakfast table. -I
thought you weren't felling well last night, but T-Chan said you were fine and
I shouldn't worry. But then he said they...so is Leon here?-
D took several
calming breaths. He had been all for explaining things to Chris, and now that
the time had come he felt himself grow red. Had he heard them last night...?
Well he must have, D thought frantically. D shot a grateful look to T-Chan as Leon entered
the dining room. "Morning squirt," Leon ruffled Chris' hair and smiled
at D, longing to kiss him before he left for work. They had to investigate the
girl, now...her parents deserved to know exactly what had happened to her.
D stood and
took Leon's
hand and practically dragged him from the room. "You read my mind." Leon said and
melded their mouths together. D pulled away and Leon wondered at his strange
behavior.
"He heard
us," D blurted. "Last night, he was going to come in to see if I was
okay, but T-Chan stopped him." D explained he wanted to laugh at Leon's
horrified look, but he realized he must have looked the same. "Should we
explain...? What words can we use...? How do we ...?" D was truly
flustered. In all his life he had been able to calmly rationalize any
situation, but he could not rationalize explaining to an eight year old the
dynamics of a homosexual relationship.
Leon placed his arms on D's
shoulders and squeezed gently he was at a loss for words. �D, Leon, can I
call Bikky; I want to go play with him and Carol today. I could introduce them
to Catherine and Blanca, Cujo might like her, and I
think T-Chan has a thing for sweetie. - Leon looked down to see Chris
holding on to Pon-Chan and smiling up at them. D
nodded and went to dial the number for Chris. As Chris engrossed himself in his
phone call, Leon
quickly kissed D's cheek and left for work.

Break
Ryo looked
over the crime scene photos and grimaced. One Heather Wheeler had been sexually
assaulted then execution style, shot twice, once in the heart and again in the
head. No weapon could be found on the scene, bullets found in the victim were
from a .44 Caliber gun. A rape kit was going through analysis to see if the DNA
matched anyone in their crime system. "It never gets easier," Ryo
commented to Jill who was going over witness accounts who had last seen the
victim hanging out with friends at a popular teen hang-out.
Leon entered the office and
frowned. He could have wished it were all a bad dream, he sat in his chair with
a heavy sigh, "anything new?" He asked, he would have said good
morning, but looking over Ryo's shoulder, he felt it was rather inappropriate.
He looked into the dejected faces surrounding him.
Dee entered
the room carrying a large manila envelope, "I got the stats from the crime
lab, the DNA matches Sylvester Reams, he was arrested several times on DUI,
Armed Assault and Battery charges did some
time about a year ago for unlawful breaking and entering."
"Up-standing
citizen," Jill grimaced. "I can't believe they let that guy out, and
look what it cost us." Jill looked with disgust at the photos that Ryo had
sat down.
Ryo glowered
at the photos and remembered how battered Carol had been when they had found
her. "When I find the guy, don't be upset if I shoot first and warn later."
Dee rubbed Ryo's shoulder and sympathized. He
had quite happily pounded their criminal into a bloody mess once Carol had been
rescued.
Leon stared at the police
photos of a young looking man with hard features. He had deep brown eyes and chestnut
brown hair. Leon
could not put his finger on it, but he looked familiar. There was a tattoo of a
snake on his forearm and another of a diamond teardrop underneath his eye...Leon could
swear...He had seen him before.

Break
D looked up as
the chime on his door signaled that someone had entered his shop. Chris had run
off to play with Carol, Bikky and Catherine, taking several of the shop's pets
with him. D smiled at the young man, noting his odd tattoo of a diamond
underneath his right eye. "Good afternoon, sir, how can I help you? We
specialize in animals from around the world; we have everything from simple
house cats to exotic lizards, what is your pleasure?"
The young man
looked D over and smiled. The deep red Cheongsam hid most of D's slim figure
and yet he could tell each limb was perfectly formed. "You are," he
said as he shook D's hand. D smiled tightly and took his hand from the young
man's grasp. "My name's Sly. I'm looking for an exotic flower, one I can
leave as a gift for some friends of mine, they recently lost a daughter. What's
his name?"
"Excuse
me," D asked as he walked over to the door that led to his general
greenhouse.
"Your
lover, fine piece of ass like you got to belong to someone." Sly looked D
over and D felt chills creep down his spine. He stepped away from his general
green house door.
"How did
your friends lose their daughter?" D asked, steering the conversation away
from him and on to the matter at hand. "I can better choose the proper
specimen based on your accounts and the relationship you share with them."
Sly grinned;
he'd get his answers, one way or another. "Older couple, only had one
daughter, had her late in life too, a real tragedy, kind of wealthy, you know,
big house, dog, nice car. Cast Iron gate to keep the little lady safe, but not
safe enough it would seem, looks like it would be kind of easy to scale the
walls and snatch her right out, but then I guess someone did find it
easy."
D realized the
man's description could have been observed by anyone, himself included if he
had had the chance. A chilling thought struck D as he looked back to find Sly
following him with his eyes. Leon's
this be the same young woman he was describing? "And how did this young
woman come to lose her life?" D asked, he beckoned and motioned for the
man to sit and offered him tea.
"Real
sad, the guy had her all weekend, repeatedly raped her and then he offed her," Sly snapped his fingers. "Just like
that, it was over." He smirked and caressed D's hand. "Real soft and
delicate; I like soft, delicate things," He commented. D fought the urge
to snatch his hand away.
"If you
will excuse me I have just the plant in mind." D said with a smile of his
own on his lips as he disappeared into his not so general greenhouse.
D exited his
Green house carrying a covered box. He looked over at Sly and smiled. He had
thought long and hard on the perfect plant for the gentleman. "May I
ask...How you came here for flowers and not to a florist shop?"
"I was in
the neighborhood, saw the shop and figured it might be worth a visit, if you
did not have what I needed, I would go somewhere else," Sly looked D over
again. "You are something else, you know that? So hot, I could easily
forget that you were not a girl." D sat down his covered box and smiled
his most chilling smile. Sly sat back on the couch as far from D as he could
get. That look on D's face, Sly thought, was predatory.
"I'm not
available, but I do have exactly what you need." D said and indicated the
box on the table. "Have you ever seen an Iris, Mr. Sly?" Sly nodded
and tried to shake the niggling fear that tried to crawl up his spine.
"This is a very special plant, you can not deliver it during the day, as a matter of fact it is not even in bloom yet. You have to
take it home and let it sit in the sun for two hours, then you have to give it
three drops of jasmine oil, I will supply that, then after an hour of being
covered, you should give it four drops of hydrochloric acid, I will supply that
as well. All the while, you must burn the incense that I will give you."
"Sounds
like a lot of work for a plant." Sly commented, he peeked underneath the
cloth covering and saw what looked like a clay pot of dirt.
"But the
result of your labors will be greatly rewarded. This is a very rare species of
Iris. Its scent is said to show the person who has smelled it what lies in
their heart. Every time your friends come near the flower they will see their
precious daughter." D's voice was as smooth as freshly melted caramel. He
picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. "All I ask is that you sign this
contract agreeing to follow the directions I have given you and to deliver the
plant late tonight, if you can."
"What do
you mean if I can?" Sly asked not sure he liked the doubt in the Count's
voice.
"Most
people find it a terrible loss to give up what they see when they look at this
particular flower, it is the source of their greatest triumph, or their most
horrifying defeat, it all depends on the person; if they are strong
enough." D said as he looked over Sly, "are you strong enough?"
"I'm
strong enough, is your boyfriend strong enough?" Sly asked, determined to
know if D was telling the truth about himself. Was there a man in his life?
"You will
find that a human's strengths are often surprising, even to themselves. The
same can be said of their weaknesses, sign here please." With that cryptic
remark D laid a piece of paper on the table. Sly wordlessly signed the document
and took his copy of the contract; he gathered up his plant and prepared to
leave.
Laughter could
be heard on the stairs. D smiled, the children must be returning for their
lunch. Sly stood and nearly tumbled over a wild tangle of happy breathless
children and animals. He looked twice at Carol, before he left the shop. D
glowered after him, having witnessed his look at the young girl. ("I will
see you in hell first.") D muttered. Q-Chan quipped at him and landed on
his shoulder. D patted the little fur ball and smiled as he wandered off to
prepare lunch.

Break
Leon looked over the case
file of Sylvester Reams and grimaced anew at the accounts of his numerous
crimes. "This guy is a real piece of work." He commented to Ryo who
looked over and nodded. "The witnesses said, she had lunch with a group of
friends and then went home to study with her current boyfriend, they studied
for a couple of hours and then he went home at around midnight."
"His
story clears through," Jill said.
"Yeah,"
Dee nodded, he had
been with her when she had questioned all the teens involved. "I talked to
his parents, he was currently grounded for being late for curfew, and he made
it home in fifteen minutes after leaving her house. We took DNA samples; he
came up negative, that's how we got Sylvester."
"I'm not
seeing a connection between Mr. Reams and Heather Wheeler." Ryo mused.
"How did they meet? It almost seems as if he just watched her and picked
her at random from any number of girls, it could have been anyone." Ryo
felt chilled as he looked at the pictures of Heather Wheeler when she was
alive, a bright smiling teen with the world unfolding before her, Ryo shuddered
as he noted how easy it would be to replace Heather's picture, with Carol.
"We've got to find this guy, find him and lock him away."

Break
It was nearing
sunset when D made his way into the Police Department. He smiled and nodded at
several officers as he passed. Randolph
gave him a wide berth and watched in a mixture of dislike and disbelief. How
could a civilian so brazenly wander the halls of the PD? D walked to Leon's office
and paused as he noted that is was full to capacity. Every chair in the room
was occupied by Leon, Dee, Ryo and Jill.
"Excuse
me, detectives..." D said and stepped fully into the office. He smiled at
surprised looks on their faces. "I have something that I think might benefit
you with your case, I would have brought it this morning when I first received
it, but I was detained with the children and the pets."
Leon stood and offered his chair to D. D smiled
and sat, Leon
placed his hands on D's shoulders and gently squeezed. "What do you
have?"
"A young
man entered my shop today and asked for a plant to give to his grieving friends
who recently lost their daughter, after talking to him, I sold him my hybrid
Iris." D said and produced a crisp piece of paper from his sleeve, how the
paper was so strait was a question in all their heads, but went unanswered as
they all looked at the signature. "S. R. Montgomery; now I am not too sure
on American monograms, but would it be a correct assumption that Sly could be
shortened from Sylvester?"
"S.
R." Ryo said, "Sylvester Reams, I wonder where the Montgomery comes from." Ryo would have
said more, but a commotion broke out in the lobby of the PD. With startled
look, the gathered Detectives checked their guns and headed out of the room.
The sight that greeted them was one that would stay in their memories for a
very long time.
A young man
with his brown hair wild and frazzled stood surrounded by cops. "MAKE IT
STOP!" the young man screamed. "I confess okay, I did it, I took the
young Girl, I did it, now please... MAKE IT STOP." Sly screamed in terror
and collapsed on the floor holding his head in his hands. "Make it
stop," he pleaded and moaned. After a moment he looked up and screamed in
terror again and began to pull his hair and slam his head against the floor.
"Get out... make it stop...get out of my head...Damn Count...make it
stop."
Leon gave a start, 'damn
Count?' What Count... His Count? "Sylvester
Reams?" Leon
asked and stepped forward. "Make what stop?" Count D walked into the
main lobby and paused as he got a good look at Sly's
frazzled condition and smiled. Sly looked at the Count and screamed in terror.
He lunged at D and found himself staring down the barrel of four cocked
pistols. Leon, Ryo, Dee and Jill promptly stood in front of D. D placed his
hand on Leon's
shoulder and stepped around until he was directly in front of Sly.
"Only you
can make it stop." Count D told him. "You see only what is in your
heart; you see only what you deserve to see." Sly gripped the bottom of
D's robe.
"How can
I make it stop, I've tried, I opened a window for fresh air, I went for a walk,
she followed me, they all followed me. The family from Mexico...The Wheeler
girl, the Little man in prison, all of them, they follow me and yell at me,
they look like they did after I was done with them. MAKE IT STOP....She's there
right behind you." Sly broke down into sobs.
"Only you
can stop it." D repeated. He turned to walk away, but Sly grabbed his
waist and pressed a gun to his head.
"You
there..." He pointed at Leon,
"You seem to be the one more upset by this, he's
yours isn't he?" Leon
felt the unfamiliar pang of tears in his eyes as he looked at D standing
perfectly still in the clutches of the mad-man. Leon nodded and fought the urge to
reach out to D; in a hostage situation the key was to remain calm. Sly shoved D
against a wall and backed away keeping the gun pointed at him. He looked at Leon and
smiled. "I'm going to make this stop, one way or another. The only way to
save him is to kill me."
Leon pointed his gun at Sly
with no hesitation. Count D's laughter was chilling in the silence of the
stunned PD. "A mistake has been made here." Count D said, he smiled when Sly turned to look at him. "You and
Detective Orcot both seem to think I need him to save
me." D lowered his eyes for a moment as if he were thinking. When he
looked up his smirk was firmly in place. "Just last night," D sighed,
"I had to tell him that I am not made of fine porcelain..." D looked
directly at Leon,
ignoring Sly and his gun. "I liked it." D licked his lips, "A
lot." D dipped his head to the side and peered at him through a curtain of
hair. Sly was momentarily bedazzled by how pretty D was.
Leon grew worried as D
braced his arms; he had seen that pose before, on Christmas..."You assume
that the detectives are a greater threat to you...That was a mistake." Sly's eyes widened as D's leg seemed to appear from nowhere
and kick his gun up and away from D's face. With his gun pointed harmlessly to
the side. D leaned over in to a hand stand. He wrapped his legs around Sly's shoulders and in moments Sly's
feet left the ground. He was thrown head first into the wall that D had been
standing against. D completed his gymnastics and ended up standing beside Leon.
"She's
laughing...They're all laughing." Sly said in a small voice from his
crumpled heap on the floor. "They're all applauding you." He said to
the Count. "I have to make it stop." Before any of the officers could
get to him, Sly pointed the gun at his own head and fired.
Leon turned admiring eyes
on Count D. "You Okay?" He asked he noted the tears brimming in D's
eyes then falling unchecked down his face. "Baby what's wrong?" Leon asked in a
panic. Jill, Ryo and Dee crowded around all asking after D's health. The other
officers of the PD were busy cleaning up the remains in the corner. Leon pulled D
into his arms... "What's wrong?" He asked again growing ever more
worried.
D sniffled and
held up his left hand index finger. "My nail," D sobbed, "I
broke a nail." Leon
held D back at arms length and made sure there were no other signs of injury
before he pulled D in close again.
"A
nail...Not made of porcelain my ass." Leon muttered before he turned D to
face the hallway. He smacked D's bottom. "That's for worrying me, now
please go wait in my office, we have a ton of paper work to get through." Leon
said, he felt drained with the amount of relief he
felt. He was surprised at the depth of his love for D. He thought his world
would end if D had come to harm. Leon looked over at the stretcher that
was taking Sly to the morgue. He laughed and turned to Jill, Ryo and Dee,
"He just got himself into and out of a hostage situation, and he cries
over a broken nail."
Dee shrugged with disinterest. "That's nice...what did
he like a lot last night?"
Ryo punched
him lightly. "None of your business." Ryo said and headed off to help
with the mess.

Break
The small
group decided to have dinner at D's place once he had confessed to making
enough for them all. Dee looked incredulous at
D once he admitted that he had left Chris, Bikky and Carol alone in his Pet
shop. "Any criminal could have come in a taken them." Dee said him; D smiled and shook his head. He placed a
hand on Leon's shoulder and
allowed Dee to enter the shop first. Ryo ran
forward at Dee's shouting but was stopped by
Count D who calmly entered the shop.
("Femto-Kun, T-Chan, Cujo let him
go.") D looked at the little creatures and smiled at Ryo as they released Dee.
"I bet
anyone who would have came in here with the intent to
do harm would have ended up as a light snack." Leon said to Ryo as the children
came running into the room. Ryo wondered why they were all soaking wet.
"We went
swimming, D has an ocean in his back yard, it's so
cool." Bikky exclaimed. "Philippe said he will teach me to dive as deep
as he can, and Chris said he met a mermaid once... I want to stay here till
school starts. Chris said he and Leon are moving in, T-Chan told him so."
Bikky bounced around and managed to get Dee
soaking wet.
Dee turned to Leon and the Count. "You're welcome to the
little brat."
"Hey,"
Ryo said. "If, as you say, Leon and Chris are moving in, I'd say the Count
has his hands royally full, broken nail and all. But I have no problem with you
visiting this weekend, no longer, if the Count gives his permission."
"You
broke another nail?" Chris asked concern in his voice as he hugged D.
"Oh no!" Carol exclaimed and hugged D as well. Jill
nodded sympathetically and patted D's shoulder.
"Can I
stay over?" Bikky asked the Count who nodded and detangled himself from
Carol and Chris. D headed off to finish the preparations for dinner.
Bikky whooped
and bounced around. "I can stay till school starts," he cheered.
"No, only
for this weekend," Ryo amended.
"School
starts on Monday." Bikky said and laughed at the stunned looks on Leon,
Ryo and Dee's faces.
Ryo sighed as
he opened the door to their house. It had been so quiet when Bikky was away and
now he would be gone for several more days. �You miss the brat.� Dee said when he heard the sigh. �I'll make sure you
don't miss him too much.� Dee said and kissed
the back of Ryo's neck. Ryo closed his eyes and sighed again, this time with
pleasure. Dee pressed him against the wall of
their living room and worked his hands underneath Ryo's shirt. He pinched the
tiny nipple. Ryo gasped as Dee pushed his
shirt up and latched on and began to suck.
Dee pushed Ryo
to the floor, �Dee... The Bedroom has... A purpose.� Ryo gasped out as Dee
undid his pants and lay on top of him. Ryo moaned when Dee
slid down to his lap. �Forget the bedroom.�
�My thoughts exactly.� Dee mumbled
and smiled as Ryo forgot that they had a bedroom.

Break
Count D smiled
as he and Leon
tucked the boys in for the night. It felt so peaceful, like a real family.
Something he had never had. His Grandfather often left him alone, for years
now, his only companion had been Q-Chan. He felt Leon give his shoulder a squeeze
and followed him from the room. D felt an inundation of tender emotions and
blinked in surprise. He leaned weakly against his bedroom door and watched as Leon walked
blithely around the room getting ready for bed. Pulling off his clothes,
putting on pajama's and then wandering off to the
connected bathroom to brush his teeth.
Leon exited the bathroom
and paused, he noted that D was still leaning against the door. �Something wrong?� He asked and walked over,
he took D into his arms and smiled when his pointy nails clutched his t-shirt.
�Come on, sweet heart, tell me all about it.� Leon pulled D to the bed and sat
him on it.
�It just
became apparent to me, right now, that I am no longer alone. I mean, I wasn't
alone before, I had the animals and Q-Chan, but I have never been loved as you
love me.� D said. The Animals all love me and I am sure Grandfather loves me...
But...� D paused and searched for words that could make Leon understand
how he felt, what was going on inside of him. The emotions
that were taking him so by surprise. Leon placed his hands under D's
knees and pulled him onto his lap. Leon's hands roamed D's back.
�I have never
been in such a relationship, where one person meant so much to me. Today at the
PD, I thought my heart would stop when Sly pressed that gun to your head. The
thought of you in danger was...� Leon sighed and held D close. �I
love you.� He said simply. Leon
pressed a kiss along D's hairline, and down to his lips. Leon undid the
frog buttons at the neck of D's cheongsam. Leon placed a burning kiss at the
pulse on D's neck. D sighed, �We have to try to be
quiet tonight,� Leon
said and laid D on the bed. He pressed fully against D. D moaned and raised his
hips pressing himself fully against Leon. �Quiet, yeah.� Leon said and
sank into the sweetness that was Count D.

Break
�You know what
they were doing right?� Bikky said when Chris had told him about the noises
coming from D's bedroom. �If they are anything like Dee and Ryo, well, I'm
surprised they didn't wake you from in here. You're lucky you had to go all the
way to the bathroom. In my old room in New York,
it sounded like Dee was killing Ryo, and then
Ryo would always sleep late the next morning.�
�But what were
they doing?� Chris asked, �I thought D was hurt or something.� Chris said.
Bikky stared at him as if he were completely inept. T-Chan laughed derisively,
�What?� Chris asked as Bikky continued to stare at him. �Fine,
if you won't tell me, I'll just go ask Count D.� Chris stood and left
the room, Bikky, T-Chan and Pon-Chan behind him. �Shhh...� Chris said and pressed his ear to D's door and
listened intently. �It's happening again.� Chris said,
his eyes wide saucers in the dimly lighted hallway.
�Northing's wrong,� Bikky was
quick to say and pull Chris away from the door, �They're just...� Bikky paused
and searched for the proper word to use for Chris' delicate ears. �Making
love,� Bikky said. �Your brother and Count D are in love, and there is a
physical way that they can show it, it feels nice, so they moan and such.�
Bikky grabbed Chris' arm and pulled him from the hallway. �Let's just go to
bed, kay, we can play with the dolphin again in the
morning.� Bikky diverted Chris' attention as the sounds in the room got
decidedly louder.

Break
Count D stared
in horror at the apartment. �I thought I was prepared for this.� He said, his eyes lighted on a poster of a woman in bikini bottoms
with only her arms covering her breasts. D's eyes narrowed and he folded his
arms. Leon
came behind D and placed a kiss on D's cheek. D shoved away from him and hissed
over his shoulder. �You are such a pig.�
�Oink,� Leon said and
took the poster down, keeping his eyes fixed on D he ripped the poster to
shreds, �she's got nothing on you beautiful.� D blushed and moved on further
into the apartment, gracefully wading his way through the mess of clean and
dirty clothes that were strewn all around. D nearly stepped into a plate of an
unidentified substance and blanched.
�Ugh.�
Muttered D, he turned to find Leon
staring at him, �What?�
Leon grinned and walked
over to D, he kissed his lips and placed him on top of
the clothes on the couch. His hands began to roam around, finding the part in
D's robe, We've never done it here.� Leon said and
licked behind D's ear.
�Ah...I live
with cleaner animals than you...I am not going to take my clothes off here and
....it's disgusting, what is this?� D asked as he picked up a bowl of what
looked like three day old cereal. �You are not turning our home into a sty not
fit for pigs to wallow in, let alone...� D would have continued his rant, but Leon pressed
their lips together.
�I never had a
reason before,� Leon
said when he backed away breathing heavily.
�What about
Chris?� D asked, �Surely he deserves to live in a clean house.�
�That's why I
left him with you.� Leon
laughed at D's chagrined look.
�Look, baby, I
promise to keep it clean.� Leon
said.
�You had
better.� D said and shoved Leon
off of him. �Come on, I don't know whether to pack this stuff, or burn it.�

Break
�ABSOLUTELY NOT!� D yelled at Leon who struggled under the
weight of his television. �That is not coming into our bedroom, are you out of
your mind?� D's cheeks were pink with indignation. �I should think you would
not need any distractions in here.� D barred the way to the bedroom and pointed
one finely boned hand at Leon.
�There is an empty room, you may place your horrid
devices in there, not out in the shop, and definitely not in our bedroom.�
Leon leaned over and kissed
D's cheek. �I love when you say our.� He grinned at D's anger and deposited his
Television in the empty room. Leon
frowned, he was not too sure if that room had been there before.

Break
D bustled around
getting lunch ready, Chris and Bikky had decided to help, since Leon
was busy moving in the rest of he and Chris'
belongings. �Count D,� Chris said. D looked down at Chris and smiled, He was
sure Chris was brimming with questions about why he and Leon were moving into
the pet shop. D placed a piece of lettuce into his mouth and began to chew.
�Does it really feel good to make love? Bikky said it did.� D promptly choked
on the lettuce, Bikky looked pointedly away from D and busied himself setting
the table. �I was going to ask Leon,
but you're smarter than he is.� Chris said matter-of-factly. Leon rushed
into the room and patted D's back, dislodging the piece of lettuce.
�Are you
okay?� Leon
asked, worried as tears brimmed D's eyes . D gasped
and stared in horror at Chris.
He pulled away
from Leon
and folded his hands in front of him. �Ah... well.. yes I suppose, it feels wonderful.� He answered. At Leon's inquisitive look, he tried to find the
humor in the situation...�It feels very... uh... wonderful to make love, right Leon?� D said.
�What?!� Leon
exclaimed, he looked incredulously at D and Chris in
turn. He felt like he was stuck in a nightmare. �I mean... Yeah, it feels
great.� Leon
said trying to remain as calm as D seemed. Leon could not help but laugh, He
was sure that from here on out, life would never be the same.
