A Night to Think On

A/N: And here I was thinking that this story wouldn’t be a major attraction for reviews *laughs nervously* a ha ha ha ha ha... ehe... anyway, there were so many people asking to continue it AND asking for the NC-17, that I’ve updated this one too! ^.^ So yeah! Here goes! Gone from Shonen Jump edition to Bishonen Smut edition ^.^
...>.> I can’t believe I just said that...

-~-Chapter 2: Second Thoughts-~-

“Lloyd Irving, why did it take you so long to get back last night?” Sheena growled.
“Are you really that low, Lloyd?” Raine asked, shaking her head.
“...I’m disappointed...” Presea murmured.
“I thought better of you, Lloyd” Regal shook his head.
“Ehehehehe... well, you see, and then, umm... Zelos kinda didn’t give me a chance to talk to him, so I had to wait around...”
“...Bet you liked it...” Genis muttered behind him, as he munched on their breakfast. “When you got back last night, you were blushing the whole time.”
“...Umm...” Lloyd blinked. “Wait, you were awake?”
“Yes” Genis growled, annoyed for a reason Lloyd couldn’t place. “And here I was thinking you had decency and morals...”
“...I don’t get it” Colette blinked. “Why is everyone being so mean to Lloyd?”
“...” Everyone just looked at her, blankly, and she returned the clueless, naïve stare.
“...Oh, never you mind” Raine sighed. “Lloyd, you should finish eating. We’re going to go wait outside for Zelos to show up again.”
“Oh, alright” Lloyd nodded, as everyone packed up and left, except Colette, who was apparently not as full as the others – then again, Lloyd knew from watching her that she ate so slowly that she always took much longer than everyone else.
“...Lloyd, why was everyone mad at you?” Colette asked, looking up at him.
Lloyd shrugged. “’Cause they think I stayed at Zelos’ place for far too long last night.”
“When he was partying last night? ...Oh, now I’m starting to get it” Colette was finally clueing in. Lloyd sighed, rolling his eyes.
“But why was Genis so mad at you?” she finally spoke up again. “I can understand the girls, but Genis?”
Lloyd shrugged, as oblivious as the blonde. “I have no clue at all” he sighed. The two were silent for the rest of the time, as they finished their meal. They walked out beside each other, and apparently Raine and Sheena at least hadn’t yet forgiven him, because they were both staring at him angrily. Presea, at least, seemed to have let him off the hook for the moment, her gaze elsewhere, looking around town, studying the people who walked by.
“...Zelos should be by sometime soon” Raine said pointedly, looking around. “...Unless he completely overdid himself last night... Gods, if he did, I’m gonna drag him out of that bed and...”
“I’ll go” Lloyd volunteered. “I need to speak to him anyway” he told them, though he didn’t give any more details then that. After all, he wasn’t sure just how the others would feel about him possibly having an affection for Tethe’Alla’s Chosen.
As he walked away, the others looked at each other.
“...Should one of us go too? Just to make sure he doesn’t do anything?” Sheena suggested, giving Lloyd a harsh look over her shoulder.
“I think he has learned his lesson, but still...” Presea sighed.
“I’ll go” Genis put his hands on his hips, and without even waiting a fraction of a second for any reply from the others, he stalked off to go follow Lloyd.
*****
Lloyd swung open the doors of the mansion, looking around. There was no sign of Sebastian, no hint that anyone had even been there last night... Of course, he personally had been a part of the varied happenings in the main lobby only a few hours ago...
“No. Bad memories” Lloyd shook his head, looking around. “Zelos! Zelos? You in here?” he cupped his hands around his mouth and called out. “Sebastian?”
Almost immediately, the tall, stiff-backed butler came over to answer Lloyd’s call. “Yes, sir bud?”
“Two things. First, my name is not ‘Bud’, it’s Lloyd. And second, is Zelos still here?”
“That he is, sir bud, I believe he is just waking up” Sebastian pointed upstairs. “You can go up to meet him, if you should want.”
Lloyd’s face twitched, but he annoyed the butler’s slip and turned towards the stairs, stomping up them, heading straight towards Zelos’ room. He swung the door open and stepped inside.
“Hey, Zelos, it’s time to wake up!” Lloyd shouted gleefully, and then he blinked when he didn’t hear even the slightest sound in response. He finally took the time to look around, and found that the room was completely empty.
“...Huh? Zelos?” Lloyd blinked. He had expected Zelos to be, lazy as usual, still asleep in his bed or something. Instead, Zelos was nowhere to be found.
Lloyd took a couple steps into the room, looking past the door’s edge and looking for Zelos. The Chosen was nowhere to be seen.
“...Zelos?” Lloyd blinked, sighed, and turned.
At that exact moment, Zelos, who was soaking wet and dressed only in a towel, jumped onto Lloyd from behind the opened door and tackled him to the bed.
“Hey, hunny” Zelos grinned. “I knew you’d be back.”
Lloyd tried to stammer out something, but he was much too surprised, and found himself being kissed pretty quickly by Zelos.
“Z-Z-Z-Z-Zelos!!” Lloyd stuttered, lost in the moment, as the two broke away.
“Come to apologise for running out on me last night?” Zelos asked, tilting his head just a bit, and Lloyd blinked. He felt just a bit of water dripping off of Zelos’ body – he must have just got out of the bath – and of course his wet hair was plastered to his shoulders, back, and decently-muscled chest, making him all the more attractive. Lloyd had to admit that in his freshly-cleaned state, Zelos was much, much more sexy. Memories of last nights’ pleasant events flickered through Lloyd’s mind, making him give a small moan and he felt his pants becoming tight.
“...Zelos... Why did you do that?” Lloyd asked dimly.
“Because, darling, I love you” Zelos grinned, in such a manner that Lloyd felt quite helpless, though it also made him wonder about the sincerity of Zelos’ words. “I figured that would be a good way to get you to have some fun, after you didn’t have any at the party last night...”
Lloyd fought with his own feelings. He was tempted to just reach up and kiss Zelos (he was that damn sexy when he was soaking wet), but he knew that would only lead to more dangerous things, if he did – the proof of that was in the fact that, with their bodies pressed together as Zelos had them, Lloyd could feel Zelos’ hot erection through the wet towel.
With the resolution that he needed to control himself and get a straight answer (about non-straight matters) out of Zelos, Lloyd put his hands on Zelos’ chest to try and push him off, but of course that wasn’t the sign Zelos got. The chosen flashed that sexy grin of his, and Lloyd’s hands began to lazily run over Zelos’ chest, instead of trying to push him off.
“...Besides, you like me too, don’t you? You probably have all this time, haven’t you?” Zelos leaned down towards Lloyd and whispered those words in Lloyd’s ear, his breath making Lloyd hot under the collar.
Lloyd let out a soft moan, loving the way that Zelos’ breath tickled his ear, and it only made him even hotter. He didn’t complain when Zelos’ wet hands began to slide along his body, one up his shirt and playing with his nipples, and the other slipping into the waistband of his pants and gripping him where he needed it most.
Lloyd’s head leaned back into the mattress, as he moaned lightly, his own hands beginning to slid farther and farther down Zelos’ toned body, dying to remove the towel Zelos had wrapped around him, as Zelos’ hand pleasured the brunette.
“Mmm... Zelossss...” Lloyd moaned out, feeling his nipples hardening under Zelos’ hands, as Zelos lowered his head and the two shared a heated kiss, their tongues duelling hotly, as Lloyd’s hands finally finished giving a thorough inspection of Zelos’ body and reached the towel, tugging it off and throwing it to the side, one hand sliding onto Zelos’ ass, the other grabbing onto the other’s cock and massaging it.
Zelos was pleasantly surprised at how... forward Lloyd had suddenly become. Last night he had been fairly hesitant most of the time – heck, he had been begging Zelos to stop even if the older male hadn’t listened a bit to that, but... and then he was hit by a question. As the two broke off for a kiss, Zelos’ hand slid out of Lloyd’s pants and grabbed onto Lloyd’s hand, making it stop giving him pleasure, so he could form a coherent thought, then finally make it into a full question.
“Why did you come back, if you wanted me to stop last night?” Zelos grinned, looking sideways at Lloyd, that sly, sexy grin painted over his face again.
Lloyd didn’t answer, he was biting his lip, trying to keep from telling Zelos the one thing that would embarrass him most.
“...You liked it, didn’t you? You liked it when I made you mine, when I fucked you so hard...” Zelos growled lustfully, his gaze turning back fully to face Lloyd, lowering his head to gently bite and suck on Lloyd’s neck.
“Mm... I... n-no, I d-d-... I d-did...” Lloyd finally breathed out, overwhelmed by Zelos' actions.
“What do you want me to do, then?” Zelos whispered huskily, as his hand caught the bottom of Lloyd’s shirt, tugging it up. He moved away from Lloyd for only a second, so he could tug the garment off, leaving Lloyd’s fine, travel-defined teenage chest open to the air and what little water was still on Zelos’ body – most of it was now replaced by a fine sheen of sweat.
“I... umm...” Lloyd gasped, as Zelos’ talented mouth returned to its work, gently sliding farther and farther down Lloyd’s body. He was embarrassed to say it, but he wanted... “I want... you to do that to me again...”
“...Do what?” Zelos lifted his head, looking at Lloyd slyly, as his fingers ran through his own hair, getting them slightly wet, already knowing what Lloyd’s answer would be.
“I want you... to... to take me, Zelos...” Lloyd breathed out.
“...I can’t hear you.”
“I said, I want you to take me” Lloyd gasped again, louder.
“Still can’t hear you” Zelos taunted him, one hand going slowly for the hem of Lloyd’s pants as he did it, despite his words.
“I SAID FUCK ME DAMNIT!” Lloyd practically shouted those words out angrily, and he quickly got his wish, as Zelos threw the other boy’s pants off, leaving both naked, as he began to prepare Lloyd’s passage, opening it up quickly with two fingers.
Lloyd let out a sharp moan at the feeling of the penetration, but it was, this time, oddly good. It wasn’t nearly as painful, though he could still feel the slightest sting from last time. However, that was fading into pleasure, since this time he was trying to relax and enjoy it. It was good.
“Do you like that?” Zelos whispered, and Lloyd bucked his hips encouragingly, trying to drive Zelos’ intruding fingers deeper and deeper inside his tight channel. “Good Lloyd... that’s it...”
Zelos slipped the third finger in, then began to spread them apart, pushing in deeper and deeper, and Lloyd was softly moaning. Having the tall, pink-haired bishonen really inside of him would be better, though, Lloyd told himself, trying to avoid losing his mind from what Zelos was already doing.
And then, as if sensing what his little uke wanted, Zelos pulled his fingers out, lifted Lloyd’s legs out and to the sides, and then slipped himself inside of Lloyd.
“Uhnnn! Zelossssssss....” Lloyd moaned long and powerfully, his cry only making Zelos even hotter.
“I knew you liked it...” Zelos grinned, reaching down with one hand to grab onto Lloyd’s neglected erection, and he began to pump it in time with his thrusts as one hand lifted up Lloyd’s hips, helping Zelos drive deeper and deeper.
“H... Harder, Zelos...” Lloyd whispered, and Zelos grinned, looking at him, doing exactly as the brunette wanted. The moans of the two became louder, and Zelos looked at the door behind them, realising it was still open this whole time. Of course, there was nobody there – Sebastian, had he of heard, wouldn’t dare come around if he didn’t want to risk Zelos’ wrath. And there was nobody else in the house anyway. With that settled, Zelos’ mind returned wholly to reaching release.
“...Uhn, Zelos, I can’t...”
“It’s okay” Zelos growled, and with that little bit of encouragement, Lloyd’s whole body tensed, his seed spilling out onto Zelos’ hand and Lloyd’s stomach, rolling down the abs in globs and landing on the sheets below.
Then Zelos gave a cry – the tightening of Lloyd’s hot shaft around his throbbing desire was way too much – and he finally exploded inside of Lloyd, his hot release spurting out and coating Lloyd’s prostate, temporarily making the brunette blind with pleasure.
“Mmm.... Zelosssss...” Lloyd gave a final, soft cry, as he nearly passed out.
“LLOYD!”
And then Lloyd’s eyes shot open as he pulled off and out of Zelos so sharply that it hurt, his body turning and grabbing sheets quickly to cover up his cum-stained crotch and gut, and Zelos halfway hid behind him, looking over his shoulder, as Lloyd sat up, looking at the open door.
Genis was standing there, right hand on his hip, left hand clenched at his side angrily, fire dancing in his eyes.
“...G-Genis, did you follow me?” Lloyd stuttered, trying to act innocent.
“I can’t believe you... Either of you... you... I...” Genis growled, apparently trying to say something, but the first thing that came to mind probably wasn’t what Genis meant to do. He grabbed the Kendama from his belt, swung it up into the air, caught the orb, and then with a shout of “Wind Blade!” fired off a spell towards the two.
Zelos eeped, grabbed onto Lloyd’s shoulders, and hid behind the brunette, as the three blades smacked into Lloyd, knocking the wind out of him. Lloyd crunched up painfully, gasping to catch his breath, feeling a bit of blood coming from the front of his chest where one of the blades had hit. By the time he opened his eyes again and looked up, Genis was gone.
“...What was... that about...?” Lloyd blinked.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Zelos said, as if Lloyd was a complete idiot. Of course, Zelos thought he was, but that isn’t a point in question here. “The little kid’s jealous of me, Lloyd.”
There was such a joking tone in Zelos’ voice that Lloyd didn’t believe him for the second – even though unknowingly Zelos had spoken the truth.
“Oh, stop it, Zelos” Lloyd stood up, looking around for his pants and finally finding them, pulling them and his undergarments back on as he dressed. “Get yourself decent and head towards the Coliseum. We’ll all be waiting for you out there” and with that announcement, he started to leave for the door.
Only to feel Zelos’ arms wrapped around him, his body hotly pressing up against Lloyd, hands resting on his groin. “Come on, why don’t you stay a while, Lloyd? We could have a bit more fun...”
Lloyd forced himself not to react using all his willpower, and he just barely had enough left over to storm out of the room before Zelos managed to get what he wanted.
Zelos growled to himself, as he shut the door, then proceeded to change into his proper travelling gear, cleaning himself off as he went. Finally, he reopened the door, grabbed his sword and attached it to his belt, and then headed off to join the others.
*****
Genis was the first back, and by the time he had returned, there were tears at the edge of his eyes.
“...How are Lloyd and Zelos?” Colette asked, cluelessly, and Genis rounded on her and bared his teeth dangerously.
“Don’t. You. Mention. Them. To. Me.” Genis spoke slowly and low, between deep breaths, and even Raine and Regal were thoroughly stumped.
“...Genis? What’s wrong?” Raine asked, kneeling down beside her little brother, and wrapping an arm around him.
Genis sighed, his anger and hatred quickly flowing away, and he collapsed into his sister’s arms, sobbing lightly.
“Perhaps it is best if we do not ask” Regal spoke calmly. “Obviously Genis just went through something troubling involving...” he didn’t finish, he didn’t want to speak their names and upset Genis more. “I will go intercept them...”
“...Alright” Raine nodded. “There’s something going on here...”
*****
Lloyd had his head down, grumbling something awful, as he stepped lazily through the dirty streets of Meltokio. His feet scraped across the pavement as he walked, but he didn’t care. His mind was too caught up in Zelos again.
Zelos, Zelos, Zelos. Suddenly all of his thoughts and conversations ended up with Zelos as the root of them. Was it just coincidence? No, it wasn’t. At least, Lloyd hoped it wasn’t. That would mean that his world now revolved around Zelos Wilder, the idiot Chosen of Tethe’Alla, who certainly didn’t need another big ego boost.
Lloyd let out a sigh, shutting his eyes, not paying attention to where he was going, just following his general sense of direction towards the coliseum – a place where he and Zelos had fought together a couple times...
“Hey, Lloyd, behind you” Genis shouted.
Lloyd spun, seeing a large axe warrior behind him, his axe already falling towards him. His senses froze, seeing the immense blade coming down towards him...
And then something tackled him from the side, and two bodies rolled and came to a grinding halt, and when Lloyd finally realised he had his eyes closed and took a moment to reopen them, he was surprised to find out it was Zelos who he had his legs mixed up with, that it was Zelos’ muscular arms wrapped around him. And he was even more surprised to find that there was a bulge in the front of Zelos’ pants, pressing needingly against Lloyd’s groin.
“...You alright?” Zelos asked, looking down at Lloyd.
“...Yeah” Lloyd nodded, honestly surprised that Zelos had saved him from almost-certain death.
“Well, good. Don’t want you dying on me” Zelos grinned, and the leaning his head closer to Lloyd, he did something that surprised the younger man.
He gently nuzzled his face against Lloyd’s. “Keep yourself safe, handsome” Zelos whispered in Lloyd’s ear, before standing up again and running off to go save Sheena this time.
Lloyd blinked, blushing, and then finally reality returned to him and he snapped to his feet, to return to the fight.
Lloyd was so caught up the memory that he barely noticed that he had run into Regal until he bumped into the bigger man, being thrown off his guard and landing promptly on his ass.
“...Oh, sorry” Lloyd blinked, noticing Regal. “...What’s up, Regal?”
“What exactly did you and Zelos do to Genis?” Regal asked.
“...What do you mean, what did we do to Genis?” Lloyd asked him right back, confused, as he stood up.
“The poor kid’s crying back there, and it must have had something to do with you two, because he got mad when we mentioned your names. What happened?” Regal asked.
Lloyd flushed several colours.
“...Umm, Regal...” Lloyd shook his head. “I don’t wanna have to talk about it...”
“There you are, hunny!”
Lloyd’s heart froze as Zelos jumped on him from behind, wrapping his arms around Lloyd’s shoulders, startling both other men. Zelos nuzzled the side of Lloyd’s head with his own, smiling happily. “Sorry that took so long. Oh, hey, Regal.”
Regal just stared and blinked, halfway amazed. “...Is this... that still does not explain why Genis is so heartbroken...” Regal blinked.
“I told you. Genis is jealous of me!” Zelos said, sarcastically, trying to lighten the mood as he caught on quickly to what Regal was talking about.
“Zelos, be serious!” Lloyd kicked backwards, knocking the heel of his shoe against Zelos’ calf, and making the redhead jump backwards a bit in surprise.
“Hey, Lloyd, be nice! I am being serious” Zelos said, though Lloyd was still finding his voice oddly false. “Trust me. I’m used to people getting used to me. I steal girlfriends from people all the time. I’ve stolen a couple boyfriends too. And then I see the person they used to be with and they act just like that.”
“...You mean, this isn’t the first time that you and a guy...?”
“There’s a lot you don’t know about me, Lloyd” Zelos grinned, wrapping his arms around Lloyd’s shoulders again, from behind, and Lloyd sighed and relaxed into it, even though he knew he shouldn’t.
Lloyd and Regal both glanced around, because after all the three of them were now in the open and there were people walking by. However, nobody seemed to pay any special heed.
“...Everybody in this town is acting...”
“Oh, it’s nothing unusual. They know I like any good handsome company” Zelos giggled, as Lloyd rounded on him, annoyed.
“Oh, so am I just ‘company’?”
“Of course not, Lloydie” Zelos smiled, and Lloyd’s cheeks rouged even deeper. If it kept like this, people would think he had got a sunburn on his cheeks.
“L-L-Lloydie!?” Lloyd stuttered, amazed.
“Yes. You’re now my Lloydie” Zelos smiled, and Lloyd swore there was an emphasis put on the word ‘my’. Maybe it was just his imagination. Lloyd hoped it was just his imagination.
“...Well, I’ve seen enough” Regal sighed. “But you two are gonna have to tell the girls...”
“Hey, now why us?” Zelos asked, blinking cutely.
“Because there’s no way in hell I’m going to be the bearer of bad news on this matter” Regal stated bluntly, surprising Lloyd and Zelos with how... sarcastic he seemed – and that must have been a first. And then before he heard any protests, he walked back in the direction of the coliseum.
Lloyd looked up at Zelos, slightly worried. “...The girls are gonna kill us...”
“Well, what makes you say that?” Zelos asked, smiling as if he thought nothing was wrong.
“Colette... Me and her were kind of almost somewhat in love! And Sheena... I think that she liked me too!”
“Oh?” Zelos blinked, shrugging, and then a very broad grin came to his lips as he spoke. “You don’t think the girls could share you with me?”
Lloyd was so embarrassed at the answer that he smacked Zelos over the head.
