TDM #1

"Well, good morning, Sleepy Head,"


The voice was sweet and pleasant on the ears. You open your eyes to find a smiling face looking down at you. A face that looks human enough. Two eyes, a nose and a mouth, all in the right places. But something feels off about it... "We've been waiting for you to wake. It's about time!" The nurse, for now that she's moved away you realise that she is indeed dressed how you would imagine a nurse would be dressed, continues to talk and fuss about the room. In doing this, she explains:
❝You've been asleep for such a long time! Several years ago there was an Event that caused many people to fall into deep, deep sleeps. Some woke within days or weeks of their fall, but there were some, like yourself, who have been asleep for so much longer. It's hard to tell just how long you have slept, and I fear the world you remember is very different now, but we are here to help you through your transition from Dream World to the Waking World.❞
The nurse leaves and you are left alone. You will find that even though you have been in a coma for years, you are as physically fit as you remember. Any injuries you believed you had are gone now, as if they were never there. At the foot of the bed are clothes and any items you own. Take them. Go. The urge will take you. Once you leave, you will find you can not enter the hospital again, nor can you quite remember how you got out in the first place. All you can remember is the strangely haunting nurse and her words...





Welcome to Williamsburg!



The town before you is a hodgepodge of colour and style. No two houses are exactly the same. Some made of wood, or brick or even strange metals. Some are no more than holes in the ground. But all are warm and welcoming inside and not many are inhabited. In fact you'll find that the town itself isn't that populated at all. The busiest place is Main Street. Here you will find all the shops you need. From food to beauty and fashion and furnishings for home and garden, there is a café selling the most delicious of sweets and a pub that never closes. The Main Street is the place to be, if there is something you are lacking. And it is only a hop, skip and a jump from the Hospital and around the corner from everywhere else.

[The Nowhere Inn] is the local watering hole where you can come and share a drink with a friend. Or, if just passing through, spend the night. Here you will be greeted by Bert, the owner and bartender. A seven foot tall bear of a man with a magnificent beard and a loud, booming voice! And a desire to one day create a cocktail that will take the world by storm. It's just a shame that not all of his little experiments hit the mark... Newcomers to the town will be offered a drink on the house. Choose wisely, as some of these drinks can often come with side effects, both good and bad.
Apricot Smash: A refreshing glass of fruit squash. Made from the concentrated juice of a sour and sweet type of apricot, this is a simple and thirst quenching kind of drink. If asked nicely, this can also be made into a slushie! Anyone who tries this deliciously fruity drink will find themselves enjoying a chance to dance and/or sing at any given opportunity. (Side effect: It can cause insomnia.)
Lemongrass Twilight: Made from spicy and sour lemongrass syrup, this mildly alcoholic drink is served in a tall glass with round, purple coloured balls of ice. The drink is a swirling green, yellow and purple colour. Those who try this drink will find themselves feeling very mellow and warm and more inclined to feelings of affection. (Side effect: It can cause headaches.)
Mint Blast: Pale blue-green with light swirls and served in a wine glass. The drink is heavy on the mint and light on the alcohol, with even a little sprig of it resting on the rim of the glass. Drinking this will leave you feeling a chilled and shivery. A nice cuddle should soothe those chills away. (Side effect: It causes sleepiness in the drinker.)
Blue Smooch: This drink is a deep blue with white, creamy foam atop. The drink smells like chocolate and tastes wonderful. It leaves the drinker feeling happy and optimistic, almost childlike. (Side effect: It is rumoured to cause truthfulness in the drinker.)
Burning Wine: Pale gold with yellow-orange swirls, this mulled wine is served in a clear glass mug and tastes like cinnamon and oranges, with a hint of chili. It has a nice, warming burn as it goes down. This drink will put a fire in your belly and keep you toasty and warm through the cold nights. It may also make drinkers a little more amorous than usual. (Side effect: It can sometimes cause tingling and numbness in the extremities.)
Frosted Starlight: Sapphire with silver flecks and glittering sugar around the rim of the glass. This is an intoxicating alcoholic drink that is only served in the evening and at night. The drink itself smells like coconut yet there is no coconut within the drink. The taste is almost floral, with a slight hint of grape. Those who have tried this drink often find themselves with the brief ability to touch another and see their surface thoughts. (Side effect: It can cause blackouts.)

[Sugar ‘n Spice Café] is a peculiar place. From the outside it looks like any other store front, but as you enter and the little bell tinkles, you will find the interior to be bright and open. Warm colours and bright lighting, and from somewhere soft music is always playing. A very modern sort of café selling a wide selection of handmade sweets and pastries as well as an espresso machine.
For the next month, if you come in for a hot drink you can have your choice of their specially made, homemade cheesecake free of charge. Subject to availability, of course.
Roasted strawberries and cream cheesecake: Made with a chocolate biscuit base, sumptuous strawberries and homemade cream.
Coconut cheesecake with lime and passionfruit sauce: This zesty citrus cheesecake has a buttery base, creamy coconut filling and fruity lime and passionfruit sauce.
Triple choc upside-down cheesecake: The name may say upside-down, but this cake looks right side up to us! Juicy raspberries give it a fresh bite and for the chocoholics - oozing sauce.
Gingernut cheesecake tart with sticky maple pears: A creamy cheesecake with high visual impact for that special dessert finale to your dinner party.

● For those looking to add a little something extra to their wardrobe, they'd be best heading to [Dreams Come True Boutique]. For the month of April the clothing store will be offering all new arrivals free vouchers for up to three new outfits of their choosing. Within reason, of course. But most all of the clothes here are decently priced with an odd array of fashions from the very old fashioned to near futuristic.

[Linlae Botanical Gardens] resides not far from Main Street. Part of the gardens are covered, housed within a large green house, but most of the gardens are outside and easily accessed. There is much to see here, from the [Hedgemaze] with the secret gazebo at it's centre, [Hanging Gardens] and the weeping willows reaching into the waters of a large koi pond. If you're lucky you might see a large white carp, said to be 2,000 years old by the name of Etherus. Who knows how long he'd lived in that pond, but they say if you catch sight of him it's a sign of good luck. And if you manage to see him during a full moon, he may grant you a wish.
There are benches all over, places to sit and take in the peace. But don't expect much quiet, the twittering of birds is a near constant companion within these gardens.

[A Home]. As you explore you will realise that you're going to need somewhere to stay the night. Of course you could always go to The Nowhere Inn and wait until morning, or you could just... open a door.
87% of the houses within the town of Williamsburg is vacant, and well maintained, for many years. These houses wait for someone to come and bring life into them. Inside your pocket you will find a key. If your key doesn't fit the lock, that house is occupied, so find another. When you finally open a door, you'll notice that the key has changed subtly. That key is now unique and can be used only for this house. It is yours.
Some houses come fully furnished, some might need some work. You might even be surprised to find that the house is one that looks vaguely familiar...





A Familiar View


It may have been immediate or it may take days for you to notice, but when you do...

The memories of your Dream World are coming back to you. It doesn't feel much like a dream at all. Those things that happened, those feelings you had, all seemed so real!

And then you find it.

It could be something as simple as a book, or as large as a building. You know this thing. This thing has been pulled directly from your memories, whether those memories are good or bad is entirely up to you. But there it is, as large as life, right in front of your eyes. What does this mean? Which world is real and which isn't? How did these things from that other world make it into this?
This is your chance to explore this new addition to Williamsburg. Maybe you will find the answers you seek? Or maybe you will be left with more questions. Just know that you aren't alone. It seems that almost everything in this world was pulled from another, brought here by 'others', and left here.

Maybe this new landmark, or item, leaves you with a warm feeling and questions are the last thing on your mind? Perhaps you would like to share with your friends, or even a perfect stranger, the joy that this thing brings you? Tell them your story. Share with them it's the history. Or maybe the feelings attached are feelings of anger, of horror and fear? Misery does love company, so don't go through with this trip down memory lane alone.





Down the Rabbit Hole


It starts with something small shifting around you. Maybe it’s a door or window, but as you walk down the street things take a turn for the bizarre. It’s far too late to escape by the time you notice the buildings themselves bleeding into the sky or folding back onto themselves.

You are stuck in The Corridor now.

And you appear to be alone. Or are you? As the buildings creak in protest you seem to hear footsteps. Is that a fellow waylaid traveler?

Before you can determine the direction of the sounds, one thing becomes clear to you: these homes and businesses, all that brick and mortar, seem to be closing in on you…

It is a gradual squeeze but you can tell that if you don’t get out of there you’ll eventually be crushed. As you explore this place where time and gravity seem to have lost all meaning and your senses may even betray you, you search for a way out or an end to this madness and that is when you finally realize that the buildings are taking shape according to your will. The more you panic, the more claustrophobic and chaotic things become. But if you remain calm and focus your attention you find you can tame the buildings back into their original shapes and places. Of course, it helps if you have a partner.

"Considerin everything else? Big battle robots in space doesn't seem that weird to me," The hints of memories he'd been getting, that for a little while he'd been assuming were remembered dreams, all told him that his life hadn't been fantastically 'normal'. To the point that normal meant something completely different to Duo.

"Really?" Duo asked, his smile softening as he moved to be in better reach of Wufei and those kisses, but then decided to just kiss him himself. A soft kiss to Wufei's forehead, the bridge of his nose, his cheek... content to litter his upturned face with so many happy kisses. "I kinda thought you were one of those scholarly types before you became a badass?" A wordy, worldly guy. Far more experienced than Duo at least.
pilot05: (Smile)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-06 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Wufei laughed softly as his face was peppered with kisses, smiling warmly. "Well, sure, I was a scholar, but that doesn't mean I was allowed to just read anything I wanted. When I came to earth I thought LGBT was a sandwich," he said it mostly to make Duo laugh, but it wasn't exactly wrong, either.

He'd studied the old Chinese texts, and while crossdressing was sometimes a means to an end in the stories he'd read, anything spicier than that had been expressly forbidden. And being the little rule-follower that he had, getting his hands on them without permission wasn't something he tried to do.
maxwellsdaemon: (Peace)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-06 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Didn't have to read gay books to be a wordy lil shit," Duo laughed, really amused that Wufei would think that and not the least bit surprised either. From what he remembered Wufei had lead a kind of sheltered life. Duo, on the other hand, he'd been given a crash course in how the world worked at a very young age.

"But I'll let you in on a secret," He murmured, softly kissing the corner of Wufei's lips. "I think actions speak louder than words. And your actions are tellin me a whole hell of a lot," And he was hearing them loud and clear. There was something real special going on between them and Duo was finding it very hard letting Wufei go.
pilot05: (Smug)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-07 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Wufei laughed, too, grinning up at Duo and letting himself relax in Duo's arms. It really did just feel like home, like this was where he'd always belonged. His life before had been sheltered, but it had never felt as safe as this.

"Oh, you think so?" he teased lightly. "What are they telling you?" Even as he leaned in for a kiss, just to make it hard for Duo to answer.
maxwellsdaemon: (Aint I a cutie)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-08 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
Duo was just starting to chuckle when warm lips covered his own again, and rather than pull away to answer, he decided to just pull Wufei in and kiss him back. Softly, at first. Loving, delicate touches that would slowly deepen... even as Duo used his body to herd Wufei backwards.

He kept his arms about him of course, he didn't want Wufei tripping over something. But he kept on moving until they were at the sofa. It was only then that Duo pulled away with a grin and dropped down onto the seat and dragged Wufei down with him.

"It's tellin me that 'more' is never enough... And..." He sighed softly and ran his hands up along Wufei's sides. "... I'm crazy about you."
pilot05: (Smile)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-09 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Wufei followed, trusting Duo wouldn't take him anywhere he wouldn't enjoy going. For a fleeting moment, he thought they might be headed to the bedroom, but he was relieved when they ended up on the couch again. He was still finding his footing with this whole relationship he couldn't remember thing, and even with the flashes he'd have of intimate moments, he wasn't sure he was ready yet.

Then again, maybe he would be if they started down that path. He was only really sure about one thing; being with Duo felt right. He followed Duo into the sofa, settling comfortably into his lap like he belonged there, and laughed.

"I don't think I'll ever have enough of you," he agreed warmly, sitting back on Duo's knees to look at them, wondering at the strangeness of it all. "I don't know how it is we've come to be here, together, with these missing memories between us, but I'm glad for it. I thought I was dead when I woke up here. I'd been shot in the chest with what was probably an armor-piercing round," and that was a dangerous thing no matter what you were wearing. Wufei was always kitted out in top of the line gear, but that shot had been downright lucky.
maxwellsdaemon: (bored now)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-09 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Duo let his hands glide down Wufei's sides to rest comfortably on his hips, thumbs lazily stroking while he leaned back and listened to Wufei talk.

Until he got to that part...

Duo's smile fell and his eyes moved from Wufei's face down to his chest. Without really meaning to, a hand had also lifted until he could press his palm to his chest, over where he would assume a shot like that could have hit. He felt cold. An armour-piercing round was a death sentence... Duo was very proud of himself for now calmly he was taking this news.

"... You were shot...? Lets hope it was a fucking dream," Because if not, if that was real, if Wufei ever went back to that point...

The hand on Wufei's hip tightened just a little.
pilot05: (Smile)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-09 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Wufei nodded, and let go of Duo so he could reach for his shirt, unbuttoning it to show the skin beneath. There were plenty of scars, sure, almost all ones that Duo would easily recognize, and nothing that indicated the devastating wound he could remember being inflicted with before arrival.

"Right here," he presses his hand to his chest. It was on the lower left portion of his rib cage. Far enough from the heart to not be an instant kill, to explain how he knew he'd been hit by something nasty. Far enough that there was a chance, a very tiny chance, that the wound might've been survivable. But there was no mark. No scar, no pink area, nothing that matched the wound he'd felt. It was like it never even happened.

"I hope it was, too. Or that this is some afterlife that we'll never have to leave," he agrees, and leans in for a kiss. "I think I could get used to forever with you."
maxwellsdaemon: (Default)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-11 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
The scars he could deal with, he had plenty of his own. He'd seen Wufei's scars before, not all... No, that was a lie. He knew he'd seen everything before. His memories were just really fuzzy but he knew they would come back eventually. Duo just hoped it would be sooner rather than later.

He let his hand move down, smoothing over Wufei's chest until he was able to cover his hand over that spot. The place where he'd been shot... And no, there was nothing there. No sign that he'd been dealt a mortal blow. There was clear relief on Duo's face then and a soft smile. And when Wufei leaned in, Duo raised his other hand and caught his friends cheek to meet his lips. "I didn't die, Wu. But whatever the hell place this is, it saved you so it's got my vote," And Wufei got another of his kisses.
pilot05: (Smile)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-11 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That was exactly why Wufei had opened his shirt, smiling warmly at Duo as he returned that kiss with a happy sigh. Everything about it felt right -- the warm, calloused hand on his skin, the way Duo looked at him, how comfortable it was to be this close and this vulnerable.

"Maybe not, but I don't want to go back, regardless." He was happy right where he was, at least for now. If he got to stay here with Duo, stay safe? He'd be happy. It seemed... peaceful.
maxwellsdaemon: (Happy smiles)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-11 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Duo softly, slowly moved his hand over that part of Wufei's side, as if somehow he could use his touch to erase the memory of that bullet. All while Duo pressed soft kisses to Wufei's lips.

"Guess we're gonna stick around here then..." And Duo didn't mind that in the least. What did he have to go back home for? He didn't have much. The Sweepers, sure. Hilde? Maybe. She was a friend and he'd miss her, but she had a life and a good future ahead of her. The guys? He'd definitely miss them. Heero, Quatre and Trowa. They were his brothers and they were the big issue with never going home. But like Hilde, they all had futures and were happy. They all had lives. And now Duo did too. In an unexpected way with an unexpected person.

Wufei was his future. Duo knew that as well as he knew his own name (the one he'd given himself, of course).

"It's you and me against the world, Wu," He grinned and slipped his hand around Wufei's back and pulled him in close. "Does this make you my boyfriend?"
pilot05: (Hmmmm)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-12 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
There was something about the way Duo's hand moved over him that was incredibly soothing for Wufei. It really did feel like the memory of the pain was fading, being replaced with that warm touch that seemed to sink right into him. It was worlds away from what he was used to, but something he had craved for as long as he could remember.

Just to be touched. To be wanted and loved in a physical way. His culture kept that behind closed doors, and after his parents had died he'd been all but cut off from physical contact.

He was just now starting to realize how desperately he needed it. He nodded in answer to the question, shifting closer when he was pulled, until he'd pressed himself against Duo from hip to shoulder. It was as much contact as he could get, and he nestled his face into Duo's neck as he settled.

"Yes," he replied, giving him a firm squeeze. He sounded almost choked up about it.
maxwellsdaemon: (chilled)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-20 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
After pulling a hand free, Duo reached up when Wufei had settled against him and cupped the back of his boyfriends head, fingers softly stroking his hair as he smiled.

"Good. Always kinda wanted to be..." Sometimes he'd daydreamed about it. About what he'd do after the war. If he'd finally ask Wufei out, if Wufei would say yes or kick him in the balls and call him disgusting for daring to think he'd like men, much less someone as lowly as Duo Maxwell.

But sometimes he'd imagine Wufei saying yes. He'd think about what he'd do, where he'd take Wufei. Would they take it slow or would they speed through? Did Wufei like dancing? What about movies? Could he sit through a whole one or did he like opera or theatre or... Just what did someone like Wufei Chang like?

Duo would play through so many options that if it ever came to a point where he actually did ask Wugei out on a date, he wasn't entirely sure if he would know what to do with himself.

Thankfully he'd somehow managed to skip that and went straight to having a boyfriend.

"... I so lucky," He breathed, eyes closing and face turning towards Wufei, cheek to cheek. "I'd always dreamed of you. And apparently I fell in love with you in a dream... And now you're in my arms."
pilot05: (Smile)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-20 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
What he liked was this. The quiet, quality time, spent in constant physical contact. Sure there were 'date' things that he liked, but they didn't reach into his soul and beat the fire down to glowing embers the way being held did. It was something so primal and so calming he couldn't fight it.

"I'm not so sure they were dreams," he replies softly, voice softer and a little lower than before. Relaxed. "I don't think this kind of feeling can come from a dream. It's much too pure for that. I'm not at all confused about how I feel." And everything about it just felt right.

He'd had plenty of dreams like this. Of touching and holding Duo, of kissing him, but it had never felt real. Never like this. He could just stay here forever and die a happy man. "I love you."
maxwellsdaemon: (Default)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-20 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Not sure what the hells a dream anymore... But... " Maybe this was the dream? But no, Wufei was right. This all felt much too real to be just a dream. Wufei was warm and solid in his arms. And there was slight pain too, he wasn't entirely comfortable, he was sat on his braid and it was pulling at his scalp. Dreams didn't hurt. Sometimes he had horrible, soul crushing night terrors... But he'd never felt physical pain within them. Unless he'd hurt himself outside of the dream.

You didn't feel actual pain in a dream. So that tug at his scalp was something Duo welcomed in a strange way. It kept him grounded, reminding him that this was all real and that Wufei was really there in his arms. A dream come true.

Eyes still closed, Duo's smile widened as he turned his head a bit more to press a warm kiss just behind Wufei's jaw. "Always loved you, Wu. Always." The words came so easily along with that warm feeling within his chest, heart aching and full of so many emotions for the man in his arms. Love, happiness and pride. A self-assured feeling of calm and peace that Duo had never known before, knowing that those feelings were all returned.
pilot05: (Smile)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-20 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
"The isn't," he said firmly, giving Duo a gentle squeeze. "I never feel like this when I'm alone," and you were always alone in your own dreams, even when you thought you weren't.

After that kiss, he lifted his head so he could take one right from Duo's lips, smiling warmly when he pulled back and gazing into his lover's eyes for a long moment. He'd dreamed, hoped, wished... but to have it be real and already fully formed somehow seemed impossible. But here he was, here they were, moving together like they'd been lovers for months, maybe years.

"Then I'm the one who's lucky," he teased lightly. "You, and this place, this house... How could I be anything less than the luckiest man alive?"
maxwellsdaemon: (Aint I a cutie)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-20 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Guess I've just gotta stick by your side from now on, huh?" Then Wufei could feel like this all the time. Even in his dreams. Because Duo would be right there beside him.

He was still grinning when Wufei pulled back to kiss him, the smile never wavering. His eyes were bright, the happiness and love he felt were right there, shining within them. None of the pain, the sadness that and anger that had haunted him for most of his life. There was no room for that right in that moment. All Duo could see was Wufei.

"Nuh-uh, I called being lucky first. But you are lucky, because I'm a pretty generous guy. So I think we can share the title of luckiest guy alive. How about that?" Because he felt the exact same way. He'd never put much stock in luck before, but that's the only way he could have gotten all of this without making a deal with the devil himself.
pilot05: (Smile)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-20 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded easily at the question, eyes nearly closing as he sat there and just enjoyed the moment, basking in the love and attention, while showering it on Duo in return. He didn't relax this much around just anyone, after all.

When Duo thwarted his attempt at the title, he laughed warmly. "So long as it's with you, I don't mind sharing anything," he replied warmly, and leaned in for another kiss. "Not even a bedroom... or my body."

By all rights he should've turned crimson down to his toes from saying something like that, but instead there was just a dark dusting across his cheekbones.
maxwellsdaemon: (Default)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-20 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, he liked that laugh. Duo thrilled at the sound, his smile widening more until his cheeks ached. He needed to find more ways to make Wufei laugh.

Back during their war days he had tried so many things to make the guys laugh. He could get Quatre to laugh and once or twice he could swear he'd gotten Trowa to crack a smile or two. But Wufei and Heero had been nuts he'd never been able to crack. And now he was drunk on the sound. Addicted to it instantly.

It almost overshadowed the next thing Wufei said to him.

Almost.

But lips touched his and Duo returned that kiss with a soft and happy sigh. The hand that had been stroking Wufei's hair now moved down to cup the side of his face, his thumb grazing across Wufei's cheekbone, flushed now and looking so damn adorable.

"Even that, huh? Guess I'm not the only generous one here," He was teasing, but his expression had softened as his hand moved to Wufei's jaw and his thumb softly brushed kiss reddened lips. "I'm all yours, too, Wufei. Everything I am... What's mine is yours. Body, heart and soul." Love was a funny thing. It sure did bring out the romantic in him.
pilot05: (Smile)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-20 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Wufei had opted for anger instead, because it was easier than letting himself get close to the others. He'd had a mission, it needed all of his focus, he couldn't let himself get attached. It would've been cruel to Duo -- he was supposed to die in that last battle, was supposed to lose to Treize and die with honor.

Instead, he'd ended up headlining an uprising and joining law enforcement after the fact, and didn't know how to take back all the unkind things he'd done and said.

He didn't know what his 'dream' self had done to make it up to Duo, but it seemed very well worth it. He leaned into Duo's touch, smile warming. "I'm so glad we both ended up here, wherever this is, however we did it. As long as you're here, I never want to leave. There are so many things I want to share with you." Secrets and traditions and moments... mostly moments.
maxwellsdaemon: (Peace)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-20 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I've a feeling we already have... But I guess the beauty of not remembering is we can do it all over again like it was the first time..." Duo replied softly, watching the way Wufei leaned into his hand so easily. He was so heartbreakingly beautiful. Duo didn't know how a guy like Wufei could see anything of worth in someone like him, but he thanked his lucky stars he did.

Taking a firmer hold of Wufei, he pulled him down and tilted his head up to kiss him. Softly at first, a gentle touch that soon deepened as he teased apart his lovers lips until he could revel in the taste of him.
pilot05: (Smile)

[personal profile] pilot05 2023-04-20 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Then we're twice as lucky," he replies lightly, and when Duo pulls him in for a kiss, he's happy to meet him. He relaxes into it, lips parting easily for his beloved, letting himself sink into that sweet, warm feeling the kiss was pushing through him.

A warmth that was quickly turning to heat, as his hands slid up into Duo's hair again, then down his neck and shoulders, exploring his body with both awe and familiarity. He had no idea what was going on, but he was going to enjoy it for as long as he could.
maxwellsdaemon: (Default)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2023-04-20 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Duo definitely wasn't pushing for anything at all. Wufei had offered him something absolutely wonderful, but he was in no rush to move from where he was. He wanted to enjoy this moment for as long as he possibly could. To etch it into his memory, since it had failed him so much already.

How had he been able to forget these hands? Or these lips? How did he forget how Wufei's hair felt when he raised his hands to sink his fingers into dark locks. How did he forget just how wicked that tongue of his was, as they lazily explored the others mouth, tangling and stroking across on another as their kisses became more passionate.

Duo's own hands dropped them, finding Wufei's hips and pulled him in closer, only to slip under his shirt to slide his palms up the length of his lovers back. How had he forgot any of this? Duo didn't know. But he didn't plan on forgetting ever again.

It felt like things were coming into focus, puzzle pieces sliding into place. Almost like a more pleasant version of being plugged into Zero. He simply knew, without question, that this was where he belonged, and with whom.

He relaxed against Duo, letting out a happy sigh as those hands slid up the skin of his back, smooth silk interrupted occasionally by scars. Something about Duo's fingers felt like home, pulling him back to where he belonged.

When he broke the kiss a moment later, it was with a soft sigh as he pressed their foreheads together. "I love you," he whispered.

Scars never bothered Duo, if anything he treated them with the same reverence that he did the rest of Wufei, if not more. Because he knew what those scars meant. Knew where most of them had come from. Each star told a story and Duo loved the pages they were written upon.

His hands moved down again, lazy and slow, just enjoying being able to touch and be touched. Wufei's hands on him felt incredible. While he was sure his memory would argue with him, Duo wasn't used to being touched in anything other than anger and hatred. Being beaten and abused was pretty much par of the course for someone like him. He didn't have much time for romance. He'd been a kid, what did he know about romance? And after the war he'd had even less time for it. But this? This he could get used to with ease.

Duo was breathing a little harder when they parted and his eyes remained closed, lips curving up in a tender smile. "Love you..." The words came easier and easier with each repetition. Any normal person would say it was too fast to say words of love. Duo didn't care. Once their memories came back he was sure that those words were as common as 'hello' and 'goodbye'. "...You're too damn good at that."
