Zed: *He tossed a little on the bed, tucked up to his bare shoulders under thin sheets. His limbs were still lax and his mind hazed from the chloroform Boomerang used on him for the night visits. Remnants of the intercourse remains inside him, and he mewed in his sleep from the subsiding waves of bliss. It hasn't been long since Boomerang left the room. Naked under the cover, Zed settled down on his side and fell into a bit deeper sleep.*

Zeik: *Unaware about the fact that the bounty hunter had been there earlier, he slipped into Zed's room, grinning to himself a bit evilly. He was planning on surprising his lover. He sneaked closer to the bed, stopping to look at the sleeping figure. //Ah, you look so cute asleep like that...// He took off his clothes and sat on the rim of the bed, touching the younger demon's face gently.*

Zed: *He mumbled a bit as he was touched and forced his cat-like eyes to slit open. Finding Zeik, he smiled and nuzzled to the hand. There was certain numbness in his body that he did not understand of, but he knew right away that Zeik had somehow taken him while he had gone on sleeping.* ...Had enough yet, Zeik? *He yawned and curled up, expecting a cuddling sleep with his lover.*

Zeik: Enough? I haven't even started... *He smiled, leaning down to kiss the younger demon gently. He slipped to the bed next to Zed and wrapped his arms around him. His lover felt so warm. //Hmm...?// He ran his hand lower, stopping it between the young demon's leg. He felt a familiar wetness there. //Ah... have you been dreaming?// He snickered, moving his hand a bit teasingly.*

Zed: Zeik, I'm tired... *He complained in a bit childish tone, the one he used rather often now that they were in a steady and gentle relationship. He tucked his legs together and wiggled away from the teasing touch, looking up into the knight's handsome face.* Haven't started? Don't kid me... I don't know how you do it, but you've been at me every night for some days...

Zeik: Hmm? What do you mean? It's been a few days since you were in my room last time... *He kissed the younger demon gently, forcing his hand between Zed's slender legs. He caressed the smooth skin softly, then felt something. //...? What the...?// Frowning, he slipped one finger between the young demon's buttocks. //What the hell...?// He removed his hand and sat up, staring angrily at the swordsman.* What the hell is that? Have you been with someone?

Zed: Eep! *He tensed when Zeik pushed a finger inside him. He was, of course, still loose and wet from what Boomerang had done. Zeik's angry question confused him and he sat up, looking unsure.* ...Who else but you?! You come to me in the night and do something to keep me asleep, then make love to me! ..........Don't you?

Zeik: *He frowned, feeling suddenly angry and jealous.* No. I just said I haven't been with you since you were in my room. So, you have a lover, eh? Who is it! *He demanded, grabbing the younger demon by the shoulders. The thought of someone else touching his lover made him angry with feelings he didn't recognize.*

Zed: *He stared at Zeik, golden eyes utterly lost. He felt small fear at his lover's apparent anger, growing and gnawing at him.* I don't have a damned lover...! *He exclaimed at last, wanting to at least get rid of the misunderstanding before he began thinking about what was happening.*

Zeik: Don't you dare to lie to me! Someone was here, and that someone made love to you... *Too furious to think straight, he slapped the younger demon hard a few times, then grabbed Zed's wrists and pushed him down on the bed.* You... You're MINE, and no one else's! I'll teach you to sleep with others...

Zed: *He cried out at the slaps and fell back easily to the bed at his lover's push. He glared up at the older demon, angry tears rising to his eyes.* I know that I'm yours!! Do you think I'm such a slut that I'd take a lover at risk of your jealousy?! *//I love you, dammit!!// He caught himself before screaming that much out. It shocked him, what his mind's voice said. //...But if it's not him, who...?//*

Zeik: *He shook his head, refusing to hear those words. He know that Zed was telling him the truth, but he didn't want to believe it. //Mine... only mine...// Fortunately Zed was already naked, because otherwise he would have torn the younger demon's clothes off.* Liar... *He muttered angrily, holding the other demon down with all his strength. Then, he leaned down and kissed his lover, not gently as usual but quite violently and demandingly.*

Zed: Mm! *He protested against the aggressive kiss, never enjoying that sort of attention. At the same time, he realized that Zeik was really furious. //But I didn't do anything... What happened? Someone other than Zeik...?// He struggled reflexively in the restraining hold, trying to think of what may have happened. //Not Zeik? But someone... a humanoid male, came to me while I was asleep. Not Alhazad, Belselk's dead...// His body grew rigid when he pinpointed the only possible man.*

Zeik: *He reached for his belt, fire flashing in his eyes. //I'll teach you to...// He broke the kiss for a moment, just to slap the younger demon again, this time so hard that it would take Zed some time to recover. While his lover was stunned, he bent the slender wrists above the swordsman's head and tied his hands to the headboard.* I'll show you who's the only one you sleep with...

Zed: Agh! *He whimpered again, frozen by the physical abuse. Zeik was generally very gentle with him; blows always reminded the young demon of what his evil creator had done to him. Now bound, Zed strained against the belt and began to sob.* Zeik, don't! I... it was Boomerang... *He whispered, crushed by shame that he'd slept on peacefully while the bounty hunter had ravished him so many nights.*

Zeik: *He refused to listen, only wanting to make the younger demon his again. //Mine.// He silenced the swordsman with another kiss, this time a gentler one. //I could just rape you... but I could also show you things your lover sure isn't capable of...// He smiled a bit, tracing his fingers over his lover's chest.* Shut up...

Zed: ...Zeik, please... *He whispered, shaking his head. //He's not listening to me.//* I don't know what happens at night. I only think that it's Boomerang because he... *He shivered as fingers touched his chest, very conscious that Zeik would ravish him. //Not like this.//* Remember when you found me in the basement? *He tried to catch his lover's attention, although the subject pained him still.*

Zeik: Didn't I tell you to shut up? *He raised his other hand and slapped Zed again, but this time not so hard. His other hand stopped between the younger demon's legs.* You're mine... only mine. Not Boomerang's or anyone else's... *He wasn't really thinking what he said, but he had picked up the bounty hunter's name from Zed's words. He didn't like Boomerang that much, so the thought of the newest Quarter Knight only angered him more.*

Zed: *//Is it no use? Cursed guardians, it hurts... It hurts that he doesn't listen, that he beats me...// He fell quiet as his lover bid him, weeping and ceasing to struggle. His thighs tensed a little as a hand moved to his crotch.*

Zeik: *Pleased that the younger demon was silent now, he smiled coldly, then leaned to kiss Zed again.* I bet your lover can't do this... or maybe he can, but not like me... He'll never be able to give you what I'm giving you... *His words were closer to the truth than he knew; no one else could touch Zed like he did, since he loved the younger demon. He started caressing the swordsman's pale skin, kissing him again passionately.

Zed: *//...You know that you are right?// He thought sadly, kissing back despite the soreness in his repeatedly struck face and discomfort at being bound. He had a sensitive body that would bend to anyone's whims, but only Zeik could make him feel so warm and ecstatic. Liquid sensation at his entrance made him feel suddenly felt filthy, and he whimpered in misery.*

Zeik: *He continued kissing the swordsman, determined to make Zed only his again. He was a bit calmer now, but still too upset to stop to think about what he was doing.* I can't let anyone else have you, Zed... *He whispered between the kisses, his voice demanding and almost desperate. Being forced to think about someone else touching his lover hurt him so much that he was ready to kill anyone who'd ever even looked at the younger demon. //I... love...// His mind refused such thoughts, and he concentrated on caressing the other demon.*

Zed: ...Let me go take shower... *He whispered, crying and closing his thighs together very tightly. He wanted to crawl into a hole and die buried there; in his surreal dreams, he'd seen Zeik ministering to him, but that had been Boomerang. Remembering his own reactions to the dark demon's touch, Zed shuddered.* Zeik, please... I feel filthy...

Zeik: No! *He snapped, raising his hand to slap the young demon again. Then he controlled himself and let his hand fall, slipping it back where it had been, caressing the swordsman's thighs.* You'll do as I say... *He muttered, moving between the other demon's legs, forcing them apart.*

Zed: Agh... *He was helpless as his legs were held apart, his limp member vulnerable between the creamy thighs. He was conscious of few trickling residues staining the crack of his buttocks and upper thighs. He squirmed, unable to bear Zeik looking at the evidence of his "rape" by another man. //And he hates me for it...// The warm hands made him moan out softly.*

Zeik: *He grinned to himself, moving to kiss the small nubs on the other demon's pale chest.* I'll make sure you'll never want anyone else... *He whispered against one nipple, then proceeded to nibble the nub gently with his teeth. His left hand played with the other, making it turn hard under the touch.*

Zed: Aaann... *Mewing as his nipples puckered hard, he arched his chest to push against the moist lips. He couldn't stay still at the caresses. //I'd never want anyone else even if you don't...// His crotch collected heat, erection starting to tug at his lower abdomen.* Ahn, ah, Zeik... *He shook his head against the sheets and panted shallowly.*

Zeik: *He glanced down and smiled, very pleased at his lover's reactions.* Good boy... mine... *He whispered, continuing to play with the hard nubs. His right hand wandered on the younger demon's thighs, stopping on the half-erect member. He started stroking the length gently, now feeling much calmer than earlier.*

Zed: Aaaa... Zeik... *He pumped impatiently against the cupping palm, his body not really his anymore. He felt hollow in this stage of bliss; even when with his lover, the knowledge that he would react with this bodily need to anyone saddened him. He couldn't stifle the thrusting of his hips, so he only let sadness fill his golden, teary eyes. //'Mine'. ...I'm yours, Zeikfried.//*

Zeik: *He smiled, feeling better now. //At least you're still calling me when touched... then perhaps... you were telling the truth and don't know who came to your room and did this...// The thought of someone else touching his lover made him a bit angry again, but it also made him feel guilty for his earlier behavior. //I'll make it up to you. And then I'll make the person who did this pay... It was Boomerang, that's what you said earlier.// He returned his attention on the hard nub he had been caressing, fully concentrating to please his lover now. He would plan how to punish Boomerang later.*

Zed: *Close to the release, he moaned and blinked away some tears.* Zeik... ahn, I w-want... to hold you. *He whispered, his arms powerless above his head where they were still tied. His entire body was on fire from the caresses, yet he felt like he was lagging behind in the passion without holding onto his lover. Sobbing softly, he twined his legs to Zeik's waist and thighs, pressing against him.*

Zeik: ...? *He stopped to look at his lover for a moment, then realized he had tied the younger demon's hands earlier. //And forgot all about it... Well...// He smiled apologetically, then shifted to sit up a little, reaching to remove the binds.* Sorry about that, dear... *He whispered back, not wanting to stop caressing the young demon for any longer than this. He continued stroking the length in his hand, feeling how close his lover was already. //Not much longer... then I'll...// *

Zed: *The moment the bindings came off, he flung his arms about Zeik's back and nuzzled his face against one strong shoulder. He began to shiver, giving off small mews as the blissful heat at his crotch became too much to endure.* Ahh... ahn... ahhh! *He grinded against Zeik's hand, each erratic pump spilling a spurt of white fluid. The release crashed over him, and his nails dug slightly into the older demon's back.*

Zeik: There... good... *He whispered softly, stopping his actions to kiss the younger demon passionately. He ran his fingers through the swordsman's hair, smiling to him.* Too tired yet, or want me to continue...? *He wasn't really expecting an answer, as he pressed his lips against Zed's again. //Only mine.// He slipped his hand lower between his lover's legs, sighing silently. //Well, at least you're ready... thanks to Boomerang... He'll pay for it later. Now...// He caressed the slender thighs gently, deciding to wait for Zed's approval.*

Zed: *He gasped a few times after the orgasm, his heart beating so fast that he thought it would burst. Zeik's kiss calmed him down, and he returned the small sigh, nudging his weakened legs further apart on the bed.* ...Make me yours... *He murmured and closed his eyes, waiting.*

Zeik: *After getting the answer he'd waited for, he smiled and kissed his lover, while changing his position a little. He thrust in carefully, then remembered that it wasn't really necessary. //After all, you've already... No, better think about that later. I swear by Hiades that I won't hurt you anymore for that... It wasn't your fault, Zed.// The thought made him a bit jealous anyway, and he wrapped his arms around the younger demon, drawing him close for another kiss.*

Zed: *Exhaling weakly as he was filled, he held onto Zeik and tried to get as close and together as possible. The defilement left by Boomerang acted as lubricant; he almost broke into hateful sobs, but he kept his calm and only called his lover's name. He knew that Zeik didn't want to hurt him anymore, that he cared for him. // ...Do you love me? // The question wasn't asked and it wasn't answered, but he kissed back, telling the Quarter Knight his feelings then.* I love you... *He whispered very quietly, looking into the other's dark eyes.*

Zeik: *He froze for a moment, then gave the younger demon a warm smile. //You... love me? Well, no point in denying it, then... I guess....// He didn't want to think that way; didn't want to admit that he, the leader of the Quarter Knights, was as weak to such emotions as anyone else. //But...// He kissed his lover, then looked at the gold-shaded eyes.* I love you, too, Zed... It's hard for me to admit such things, but yes... I love you. *Admitting that to his lover as well as himself made him feel better than he'd felt for a long time. Now he knew that Zed really was only his. //Mine.// He resumed thrusting, very gently but steadily. He was in no hurry now, knowing that the young demon was going to be here for him always.*

Zed: *Once the words were returned, he needed nothing more. Losing himself in the gentle thrusts, he forgot his fatigue and reacted like a maiden loved for the first time. He could hear the other demon's thoughts, resonating the possessive love which he reciprocated. Crying out softly as the hard length nudged against his prostates, his voice gradually grew more strained and he approached another wave of bliss.*

Zeik: *He could feel the other demon responding to his actions, and it encouraged him to continue. He started moving a little faster, needing this himself, too. He wanted to whisper those words to his lover again, but was too afraid that he'd start crying. //And that's something I won't do... But I do love you, Zed.// He silenced the younger demon's soft cries with his kisses, closing his eyes and concentrating only in their lovemaking.*

Zed: *He moaned into the kiss as he came again, everything dimming into the point of white flashes. // Zeik... love me... // Their lips parted as his head rolled back to the bed. His tract fluttered in subsiding wave of orgasm, engulfing Zeik's member.*

Zeik: Zed... *He mumbled, lost in his own release. He barely noticed his lover relaxing, taking him in so completely and perfectly that he lost all sense of time and place, feeling only the two of them and how the swordsman gave him everything he'd even wanted. When he finally regained his senses, he just smiled tiredly and kissed the younger demon.* I love you... *He drew out and lay down next to his lover, drawing him close.* Sleep, Zed... I promise that I'll take care of everything. Boomerang will never touch you again, and I swear that by Hiades...

Zed: Zeik... *He murmured, already half asleep from the release. His head rested against the other demon's shoulder and he kissed there tenderly.* I won't give myself to anyone... anyone but you. I love you... *He slipped into sleep, feeling safe in Zeik's arms. He would never succumb to Boomerang or Alhazad again, for he knew now that he belonged only to his possessive lover.*
