A Night to Think On

A/N: Here, more! You guys happy now? There’s an update to the censored version too, so yeah ^.^ More happy Lloyd/Zelos stuff ^.^ And just because you guys liked Jealous Genis, he stays ^.^ He’s so cute when he’s angry! ^.^ So, yeah, anyway, on with the next chapter... The final scene here is actually immensely different between the two versions, so if you want the full thing you have to read both, and of course there are also other added miniature bits you won’t notice unless you fully read both... but it’s all up to you ^.^

-~-3: Breaking News-~-

Regal was the first to return to the group, and when he showed up, he asked Raine to take Genis away. Genis was still sobbing, and Raine nodded, leaving with her little brother, and Regal went with her, telling the others that Lloyd and Zelos would be along to explain everything.
Of course, during that pause, the group was speculating what had happened.
“I bet you Zelos was getting Lloyd to go with some of the girls that had stayed behind” Sheena muttered. “Genis is probably just upset because he always looked up to Lloyd, but now that he’s stooped so low...”
“Genis is probably just mad that Lloyd took so long” Colette smiled, dimly. “He’ll get over it, there’s nothing wrong.”
Presea shook her head. “I do not think Genis would react so strongly to such a simple answer. The response may come as a shock to you two.”
“Oh? What do you think, Presea?” Colette asked.
“I will not speak, they do not deserve excess suspicion upon them” Presea said. “They are still my friends regardless.”
“Yeah. It won’t be that bad” Colette agreed.
And then the girl-talk was interrupted by the approach of the two males in question. Lloyd was walking in front, Zelos walking just a bit behind him, and Lloyd almost slowed down when he spotted girls.
Yet a playful slap from behind got Lloyd to keep moving.
“Zelos...” Lloyd whined. “I don’t wanna do this!”
“Lloyd, you should tell them” Zelos smiled. “Besides, you’re the one who keeps getting all the girls attracted to you...”
“Me? You are, you...” Lloyd growled, turning around to face the other male.
“Oh, come on and lets get this over with” Zelos placed a finger against Lloyd’s lips, and Lloyd was glad his back was turned so the girls couldn’t see it. A moment later, Zelos’ hands were on his chest, and Lloyd flushed a bit before he realised that Zelos was only turning him around, then those strong hands were on his back and pushing him forward.
“Ehehe... Hi” Lloyd smiled, trying to act totally casual.
“Hi, Lloyd” Colette smiled.
“Okay, Lloyd, Zelos, what’s going on?” Sheena muttered, with a specifically harsh glare towards Zelos, over Lloyd’s shoulder.
Zelos put on his sad face. “Why do you think something’s going on? Are we that untrustworthy?”
“After a night in which Lloyd returns from one of your night parties way too late and blushing, and then when he goes to fetch you Genis comes back angry and crying... What’s going on?” Sheena pressed.
“Nothing” Lloyd said quickly, putting his hands up defensively. “I don’t know what you guys are talking about...”
“Lloyd, you should not keep secrets to your friends” Presea spoke calmly, looking at the two. “Zelos, since Lloyd’s not telling us, would you care too?”
Lloyd’s throat caught. Oh, she had just tempted cruel fate... or at least tempted Zelos. Not that they couldn’t be the same incarnation sharing a body, Lloyd had begun to think. Zelos, of course, worked at the most inopportune moments to...
“Okay, fine. But I can’t promise you girls are gonna like it” Zelos grinned.
“Why’s that? You haven’t done anything perverted, have you?” Sheena growled.
“No, I assure you” Zelos smiled, wrapping an arm around Lloyd from behind, around the younger male’s waist. Lloyd felt, for a moment, Zelos’ hand brush over the front of his pants, and heat rose in his face.
Lloyd blocked off the instinct that told him to lean back into Zelos’ embrace. Maybe he could find a way out of this...
Nope, too late. Presea and Sheena were staring intently at them, confusion over their faces at Zelos’ actions, and Colette was pleasantly unaware of what Zelos was about to do.
“Zelos? Why do you have your arm around Lloyd’s waist?” Colette asked, confused..
“Oh? Well, I suppose I’d better make it obvious” Zelos grinned, as his other hand slid up towards Lloyd’s chin, cupping it and lifting it up, and despite the fact that Lloyd really didn’t want to show it, he gave in instantly when he felt Zelos’ lips upon his. The kiss was only for a moment, but it was still quite blissful.
Presea stood there, blinking, as if she was totally unaffected or had expected it – a possibility that almost made Lloyd feel... insulted. Sheena’s eyebrows were raised with surprise and curiosity, because she had known that Tethe’Alla’s chosen was known for stealing anyone who was remotely handsome. But Lloyd...? It stung somewhere deep inside of her, but for the moment she was too stunned to care. Colette was blinking, trying to understand what just happened.
Lloyd looked towards the group, blushing, as Zelos still held him around the waist. He tried to lean back deliberately into Zelos’ embrace, but he couldn’t. He was too tense.
“...Well, I hope that explains it” Lloyd said.
“Lloyd Irving...!!” Sheena’s voice rose at the end, rough with annoyance and anger, and Zelos moved himself fully behind Lloyd for protection. Then her gaze shifted over Lloyd’s shoulder to his love. “Zelos Wilder!! What the hell have you done to poor innocent Lloyd?”
“I haven’t done anything!” Zelos stated quickly.
“You’ve corrupted poor innocent Lloyd and made him just another one of your little fuck toys!” Sheena started, but Lloyd cut her off.
“No, Sheena. Don’t get the wrong idea... I... I...” Lloyd tried to visibly relax, falling into Zelos’ arms, as the older bishonen kissed the younger once more.
“...L-Lloyd... Argh!” Sheena threw her hands up in the air in frustration, and annoyance. Of course Zelos would steal from her the one person she was falling in love with. “Zelos, do you always have to ruin my damn life!”
And with that, she stomped off roughly towards the coliseum, intending on letting off some massive, massive frustration.
(Later that day, she would be crowned champion of the Advanced Class of the Coliseum. She would also receive the title of worst mouth ever seen in the building and be banned for a week following)
Colette blinked, finally beginning to understand.
“...Lloyd, do you love Zelos more than me?”
Lloyd choked on words. He had thought he had loved Colette. But he had thought the same about Sheena... but Zelos was on a whole different level then the two of them. He couldn’t look Colette in the eye as he nodded.
“...Well, that’s okay” Colette smiled.
Lloyd was startled. “It is?”
“Yes. We’re still good friends, aren’t we?” Colette asked. “...I mean, I really like you, but if you would rather be with Zelos, then... I won’t stop you.”
“...Thanks, Colette” Lloyd smiled, but despite her cheery attitude, Colette retreated towards the local inn. Now that reality was setting in on her, she needed some time to think.
“And you, little Presea?” Zelos asked.
“It is nothing I need to concern myself with” Presea smiled slightly. “Though I do feel the pain of the others... I understand your position and I had supposed it when I saw Genis come back crying. He had often said that he loved you, Lloyd, did you know that?”
Lloyd gulped. “No... No, I didn’t.”
“In the many times he’s spoken... He has told me that he has been in love with you for a long time, Lloyd. He wants to be close to you, to be held in your arms, to be kissed by you... and... more...” Presea almost seemed to blush. “And I don’t like the fact that you broke his heart, because he is an innocent child, but... I accept things as they are. I’m going to go see Genis.”
With that, Presea left, turning towards the inn, like most of the rest had done.
“...Well, that went well” Zelos shrugged.
“What do you mean, that went well?” Lloyd growled at him, turning around sharply. “You... we just both really hurt Sheena and Genis, and we both probably ended up hurting Colette too, even if she doesn’t show it!”
Zelos sighed. “I know, Lloyd. I know” Lloyd was startled by how serious Zelos was when he spoke now. “I know that it’s painful for us to have to hurt our friends... but wouldn’t you admit one thing? That you’d never go back on this decision?”
“What?” Lloyd blinked. “What decision?”
“To love me?” Zelos offered, his sarcastic, joking voice finally starting to return.
“...Yes I would, how can you...” Lloyd started, but then trailed off.
He had hurt his friends, and that was a major low... but now he had been with Zelos and even just their kisses had made him happier than he thought possible.
“...Yes... you’re right... I don’t think I would” Lloyd finally gave in, and Zelos wrapped his arms around the younger boy, as he cuddled up to the older’s chest.
“...So, it’s true then” Raine muttered, startling both, as she approached from a side street.
“H-Hey, professor... where have you been?” Lloyd asked.
“Regal told me everything” Raine sighed. “And just now Colette comes back looking like she’s ready to cry...”
“But what about you?” Lloyd asked another question. “We’ve already figured out how every one else is about this, but how are you feeling?”
“I’m mad that you guys hurt my brother a lot, but...” Raine sighed. “Truth be told, I’m very curious.”
“...Curious? About what, professor?” Lloyd asked, continuing his string of queries.
“About how another man could possibly feel love for another man, when nature dictates that love is supposed to be between a man and a woman” Raine answered, but she wasn’t done. She stood up rather proudly. “Though it’s not a good thing for my brother, I was surprised to learn he fell into this particular category as well. It is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the human mind and about homosexual relations.”
Lloyd flushed at how openly she had brought up the final part, though he was confused at what the word ‘homosexual’ meant.
“And aside from that, I’m curious about you, Lloyd Irving.”
“Why?” another question from Lloyd.
“I’m curious about what you could ever see in a philandering dirt bag like Zelos.”
“That hurt, Raine” Zelos whined. “That really, really hurts”
*****
Some hours later, the group had finally rejoined each other at the inn. Genis was trying hard not to break down crying, Sheena was glaring almost literal daggers at Zelos, Colette was putting on a happy face despite her feelings, Raine was watching them intently, and Regal and Presea were acting as if nothing had changed.
Lloyd and Zelos were trying to act totally normal, as they sat in various places in one of the three rooms that Sheena rented from the inn, eating a meal that Regal had cooked up – he was the only good chef in the group who wasn’t busy experiencing an emotional breakdown.
Raine had suggested that the group remain in Meltokio for a couple days. Everyone had things to figure out, and it would be much harder to do if they were out travelling and adventuring. Time-wise things were limited, but if they didn’t take the chance to resolve their emotional conflicts now, it could be dangerous to their health later. From the way things looked, it seemed as though the group was going to follow Raine’s advice.
Nobody spoke the entire time. Everyone ate in silence, trying to avoid looking at each other. There was a lot of conflict to work out.
Then, finally, Zelos was finished first. He stretched. “Well, I’m off to my room, since it’s getting late...”
“There’s no room for you” Sheena muttered.
“What?” Zelos blinked.
“I only got three rooms, idiot” Sheena growled. “If you want to sleep, you can go walk back to your mansion...”
“Well, then, if you’re gonna be that way, I will!” Zelos announced sharply, standing up and leaving.
A moment later, Lloyd stood up. He wanted to follow Zelos, but speaking of that in front of others who weren’t so happy with the idea...
“Go ahead” Raine said, sensing what Lloyd wanted.
Lloyd blinked, then thanked Raine, but as he did he couldn’t help but see the hurt looks from Genis. They made him feel very guilty inside, but hopefully they would get over it soon enough...
Lloyd left with all due haste. He didn’t want to seem too hasty to go join Zelos, to spend the night in his arms, but he also wanted to be free of the guilt. He knew it wouldn’t go away until he was back with Zelos, peacefully asleep. Of course, he also wondered loosely if Zelos would force some sex out of Lloyd again, for the third time in two days – Lloyd wasn’t sure if he would mind or not, but honestly wondered if he could, with the fresh rush of guilt that had suddenly been brought on by everything.
The moment Lloyd knocked on the door of Zelos’ mansion, Sebastian was there to greet him. “Hello, sir bud. Zelos has told me everything. He awaits you in his room.”
“Thank you, and...” Lloyd turned to Sebastian. “If it’s not too much to ask, could you please stop calling me ‘sir bud’? My name is Lloyd” he tried to explain. Unfortunately, the butler was already walking off to take care of other business elsewhere in the manor.
Sighing, Lloyd walked upstairs, then found his way into Zelos’ room. He knocked on the door, and heard Zelos’ voice inviting him in.
Timidly, he opened the door, and shut it almost immediately behind him.
Zelos pretty much tackled him right away. The pink-haired bishonen was completely naked and rubbing hotly against Lloyd, his body already quite turned on apparently, and Lloyd gasped as Zelos began to nip at his neck, greedy hands removing Lloyd’s twin swords and his belt and straps.
“Z-Zelos, s-s-stop!” Lloyd gasped, pushing him off.
“What’s wrong?” Zelos blinked, cutely.
Lloyd wanted to tell him that maybe he hadn’t come here wanting sex – he only wanted a chance to fall asleep with Zelos, but the fact was that the sight of Zelos standing naked before him was too much for his teenage hormones to bear. He gave a twisted grin to match Zelos’ sexy one, and growled, “Let me think... you only came onto me way too slowly. You do it like this.”
And then, to Zelos’ shock, Lloyd literally charged into Zelos, sending the two flying down hard on the bed, and immediately Lloyd’s hot mouth was on Zelos’, their tongues dancing in each other’s mouths, as Lloyd tried furiously to get his shirt and pants off.
Zelos was helping him, and in almost no time at all, the two were naked, rubbing their bodies together. Lloyd was surprised at how good it felt just to be rubbing his erection up against that of another man, and for a short while the only audible sounds were that of the two men moaning deeply and of skin rubbing against skin.
Then it was becoming too much for Zelos. He didn’t much like being on the bottom, but it gave him a slightly different idea. He’d be on the bottom, but as far as normal positions went he’d be on top... a quirky grin crossed his face, as he looked at Lloyd’s perfect teenage body, and then down lower towards the prize.
“...Lloyd, I want you to do something for me” Zelos smirked.
“What, Zelos?” Lloyd asked.
“I want to see you please yourself...” Zelos’ evil, sexy grin returned, as Lloyd blinked a bit in confusion then turned several shades redder. “I want to watch you come all over me by yourself...”
“Z-Zelos, but...” Lloyd blinked, flustered, unsure of what to say.
“What, don’t you know how?” Zelos asked.
Lloyd blinked. He didn’t know Zelos was kinky, but he supposed it only made sense. “...Okay, love... but you’d better make this up to me after...” he winked, and Zelos got the clue, nodding. Lazily, Lloyd’s hand dropped down towards his hips, his fingers tenaciously sliding along his shaft, before he let out a soft moan and the teasing was too much. He wrapped a hand around his desire, beginning to slowly jack himself off.
Zelos watched in almost fascination as Lloyd let out a soft moan, his body loosening up and his head sexily lolling back as he pleased himself, and Lloyd’s hand slowly picked up pace on its own accord, his body starting to become covered with a small bit of sweat as Lloyd’s body worked to free itself of the heat that was passing all throughout it.
“Uhn...” Lloyd moaned softly, but then it began to get louder. His breathing was deepening, his pace was increasing, and behind him Zelos’ arousal was as solid as a diamond. Zelos thought this perhaps was one of the sexiest things he had ever seen, but then decided that it was even better when Lloyd reached his release, his seed spraying out in globs onto Zelos’ chest, as Lloyd panted, trying to catch his breath.
It wasn’t that easy for him, though. As Lloyd’s orgasm spent itself, Zelos’ right hand worked in sliding along the puddle, lubricating himself, but then he got the most twisted idea. His hand now covered in Lloyd’s male juices, he lifted his hand up and ran it through Lloyd’s hair and along his face.
“Z-Zelos w-what are you d-doing!?” Lloyd gasped, as suddenly Zelos rolled him over, and Lloyd was flat on his back.
Zelos looked down at his treasure and realised this was the sexiest thing he had ever seen. The white fluid was gently settling on Lloyd’s features, and something about it made Zelos completely unable to control himself. Using what he had left of his fingers, he quickly shoved two of them into Lloyd’s entrance.
“Uhnn!!” Lloyd let out another loud moan as he was penetrated once more, his body feeling weak, as he lay underneath of Zelos.
“Gods... Lloyd, you look so hot like that...” Zelos couldn’t resist lowering his head and licking off some of the seed from Lloyd’s face, around his eyes and nose, leaving his cheeks, forehead, and mouth surrounded in the white fluid. As he stuck in another finger, he slowly cleaned Lloyd off more and more.
“Mmm... Zelos... that... feels good...” Lloyd gasped, and Zelos took the opportunity to kiss him, driving his tongue in, and Lloyd could taste his hot release in Zelos’ mouth. It was a taste he hadn’t ever really experienced before. But before he could think much on it, the feeling of the fingers was gone and something much more solid was beginning to take their place.
Lloyd moaned sharply, and Zelos fought to keep himself from just pounding into Lloyd. Unfortunately, despite his worries about hurting the other, the fact was that what he had just seen was much, much too sexy for him to be able to stop himself from reaching release. He began to savagely pound into Lloyd.
Each thrust made sharp contact with Lloyd’s pleasure gland, and the heat and depth Zelos threw into his thrusts made Lloyd scream with pleasure, feeling more of it than he ever had before, the last couple times he had been with Zelos. His hips bucked up, his legs wrapped around Zelos’ waist, and then almost back up towards Lloyd, allowing Zelos to drive himself in deeper and deeper. “Yes, Zelos! Harder, faster, please!” Lloyd begged.
Somehow, Zelos managed, and the pitch of Lloyd’s screams and the volume of Zelos’ moans only increased steadily. Lloyd’s head rolled back in ecstasy, and seeing that was becoming far too much for Zelos. With a final triumphant shout he released his own fluids deep within Lloyd, spraying the boy’s insides with liquid heat.
Lloyd gasped, and as Zelos came down, the two shared a very, very passionate kiss. Somehow, Zelos managed to hook the blankets with his feet and pull them over the two of them, and Zelos rolled over to support the lighter weight of Lloyd on top of him.
“...Zelos... that was...” Lloyd gasped breathlessly.
“We’re really gonna need a shower tomorrow” Zelos grinned his sexy grin, and Lloyd could only nod in agreement, as the two fell asleep, Zelos still inside of Lloyd.
