Hugo/Yuber

Angst, Shonen-ai
Hugo
struggled violently against his attacker as he was dragged out of his home and
into the cold moonlight. Trying to
see the assailants face he was startled to see red piercing eyes and long blond
hair.
“Wha…..”
warm lips cut off his words.
Struggling
angrily he tried to break the kiss but could not.
The blond had threaded one hand into Hugo’s hair and held him still.
Deciding on another attack Hugo opened his mouth but a tongue was quickly
thrust inside. Eyes
opening wide in shock, Hugo froze for a moment and didn’t struggle.
Confusion
was running crazily through his mind and he felt slightly dizzy.
When the other’s tongue began to stroke his, Hugo began to slowly
respond. It was the first kiss he
had ever experienced and it was exhilarating.
Letting out a moan of surrender he began to kiss the other back.
Strong arms pulled him closer and he threaded his hands into the long
hair. The kiss soon ended and Hugo
let his head fall forward. Resting
his forehead against the warm chest, he gasped for breath and could feel the
other doing the same thing.
“Mmm
Hugo, I knew you would taste so good.” purred
the blond.
Growling
in outrage Hugo tried to get away but the other only tightened his embrace.
Throwing back his head he glared angrily up at the blond and bared his
teeth.
“Damn
you Yuber! Why do you keep coming
here?”
Yuber
gazed down at him and his red eyes began to glow.
“Because
you want me as much as I want you.”
Yuber
knew that his answer would get results and waited to see what happened.
He watched green eyes widened in shock before narrowing in anger, and
here it comes.
“That
is a lie!” Hugo whispered it
angrily. “And it isn’t even
true!”
Chuckling
coldly Yuber regarded the other thoughtfully before smirking.
“You
might deny it all you want. But I
know its true, because you have responded to me like this ever since we first
met.”
He
watched dispassionately as Hugo’s green eyes showed fear for a moment before
closing in denial. Just for a
moment he felt saddened that the other was denying this.
For the first time in centuries he felt a spark of interest in this boy
and it quieted his quest for the destruction of the 27 Runes.
Perhaps he should have been alarmed but for some reason he wasn’t.
Maybe it was because Hugo carried the True Water Rune, which made it
easier to destroy it or it could just be the boy himself.
Hugo did have a strong will to survive and yet still had the innocence of
youth.
“Let
me go Yuber please?”
Red blue eyes
widened in shock as tears poured down the other’s face.
In all his times facing Hugo he had never seen the other cry before, even
after he had been defeated a time or two. He
kept forgetting that Hugo was still very young and not an adult just yet.
Raising one hand he carefully wiped the tears away and watched green eyes
widened in surprise. Smiling
mockingly he hugged Hugo tightly before releasing him.
“I’ll
release you for now little one but not forever.”
“Damn
it! Yuber wait!”
“Krewl.”
Jumping
in surprise, he turned around and saw a gryphon standing behind him.
Letting out a relieved sigh, he was glad that it wasn’t
Sgt. Joe or worse his mother. How
could he explain about Yuber or even kissing him back?
Talk about a really horrible and trying situation he was in.
Shrugging his shoulders, Hugo walked over and gave the gryphon a hug.
“Hello
Fubar.”
“Krewl?”
“No
nothing is wrong I am just slightly irritated by someone.”
Turning
away from his friend he gazed back up at the moon and wondered when it would all
end. Yuber had been tormenting him
for months now since the end of the war with Harmonia and the defeat of Luc.
Perhaps he was bored or maybe he had fun tormenting him.
Whatever it was, he wished that he would stop or find someone else to
bother. Leaning against Fubar’s
warm side he wondered when Yuber would appear again and why he cared for that
matter.
*
A
few days later…..
“No
mother I refuse!”
“Now
Hugo you must for the good of the clan and it would make a fine Alliance with
the Samruya Clan.”
Hugo
angrily turned away and glared at the colorful hides.
His mother had just informed him of his arranged marriage to a girl from
another clan. He knew that it was
his duty as future chief to marry and have children, but it was to soon.
For one the war had just ended not to long ago and another reason was
Yuber. The other man aroused
emotions in him and until he straighten that out, he would be of no use to
anyone.
“I am
sorry mother but I can’t!”
Feeling
tears threaten, Hugo raced out of his home and ignored her calls. Panting outside the hut he looked left and right before
seeing Fubar. Running over to his
friend he leaped onto his back and buried his hands into the feathery mane.
“Krewl?”
Feeling
the Gryphon tense under him slightly, he stroked him reassuringly.
He could feel the other villagers staring at him strangely and didn’t
want them to see his tears.
“I’ll
tell you later Fubar, just run please?”
Fubar
cocked one brilliant gold eye and gazed at him curiously.
Whatever he saw there made him turn around and gallop out of the Karaya
village. Burying his head into the
warm feathers he let the tears fall as his friend raced across the Plain Amur.
He was unsure how much time had passed until finally Fubar slowed to a
stop. Feeling his hair ruffled
slightly, he lifted his head and gazed into concerned golden eyes.
Hugo slide off the warm back and turned away from the gryphon.
“What
am I going to do Fubar? Mother
wants me to marry for the clan but I cannot.
What has Yuber done to me?”
Closing
his eyes he could feel more tears fall and covered his face with his hands.
He felt warm wings encircle him and turning around leaned into the
embrace. Hugo began to sob and
threw his arms around Fubar’s neck. He tried to find comfort there but it was to no avail.
“Why
are you crying Hugo? I thought you
were made of sterner stuff.”
Stiffening
in shock at the cold words, he whirled around and saw the blond a few feet away.
Yuber had that stupid smirk and was regarding him thoughtfully.
Wiping the tears angrily he glared back at the blond and shrugged a
shoulder.
Hugo was
shocked when a pale hand cupped his chin and a red and blue eye glared down into
his own. Yuber had moved so fast
that he hadn’t been able to follow him. Feeling
Fubar growl slightly he stroked his chest feathers and felt him quiet down.
“You
are my business Hugo and you have been since the day we met.”
Green
eyes widened in shock and Hugo was speechless.
Every time he had Yuber almost figured out the other would pull at stunt
like this. He had a feeling that he
would never be able to truly understand what the blond was thinking or even
feeling.
Yuber
watched the different emotions flying across Hugo’s face and smiled.
The boy was like an open book to him and he didn’t even know it.
Feeling eyes glaring down at him, he glanced up and smirked at the
Gryphon. He wasn’t too fond of
the over grown chicken but he could tolerate it for now.
Somehow he knew that Hugo would be hurt and upset if he killed it. And
for some reason he didn’t want that to happen which of course was confusing.
Shrugging his shoulders he decided to figure that out and to deal with
current matters instead.
“Now
are you going to tell me voluntary Hugo or am I going to have to force it
out?” Yuber all but purred.
He
watched as Hugo shook his head and tried to break free.
Smiling wickedly, Yuber jerked the boy into his arms and with a jaunty
wink to the gryphon teleported them away.
*
They
reappeared again in another parts of the plains and were weeks away from the
Karaya Village. Yuber glanced
around the area before looking down at Hugo.
The boy had his arms wrapped tightly around his waist and his eyes
squeezed tightly closed. Smiling
gently he rubbed a hand soothingly on the boys back and cursed softly.
He had almost forgot that teleporting for some could cause vertigo and
many other problems.
“Hugo
are you alright?”
“Aw I
think so. Ugh only next time warn
me when you are going to do that okay?”
Yuber
blinked in surprise at the calmly spoken words before smiling in triumph.
The boy just admitted that there was going to be a next time between
them.
“Alright
Hugo I will.”
Stepping
back slightly Hugo opened his green eyes and gazed around. There appeared to be
a broken down hut nearby and a small forest.
Looking back up at Yuber, he noticed that the man was smiling down at
him. Feeling nervous for some
reason he turned around and walked a few feet away.
“Why
did you bring me here Yuber?”
“Why
to talk to you and ravish you of course!”
Hugo
spun around and glared at the grinning man. Yuber raised his hands in a calming
gesture and the smile faded away.
“Seriously
Hugo I just wanted to talk to you and not in front of your pet chicken.
You know that he hates my guts and I am not in the mood to get pecked.”
“He is
not a chicken and Fubar does have a good reason not to trust you.
Or are you forgetting the war and that we were both enemies?”
“Yea-Yea.”
Sighing
in irritation Hugo turned around again and gazed out over the plains.
He heard the other man walk up behind him and then felt warm hands on his
shoulders.
“Well
are you going to tell me now Hugo?”
Sighing
in defeat he related the whole incident to the other man and calmly waited for
his opinion. He didn’t know why
he unburdened himself to his former enemy but then again it couldn’t hurt.
Yuber was unnaturally quiet for to long and he started to feel
apprehensive. Looking over his
shoulder he noticed that the man appeared deep in thought.
He watched as the wind blew fine golden strands across the pale face and
smiled softly. Yuber was a
beautiful but deadly man. He almost
jumped in surprise when the two different colored eyes glared down into his own
suddenly.
“Do
you want to marry and do you care for this girl Hugo?”
Hugo
blinked in surprise at the words and felt how tense the other was.
He wondered what he was thinking and why that question.
“No I
don’t want to marry this girl because I am not ready yet.
And I have never met her before so why would I want to marry someone I
don’t know?”
He
watched as Yuber closed his eyes and his body slowly relaxed.
Hugo was curious why the answer mattered to the man and why a flutter of
hope filled his heart. Letting out
a yelp as he was spun around and found himself pressed against a warm chest.
“Good
because otherwise I would have to kidnap you and take you far away from here.
I refuse to let anyone have what is mine or even marry for that
matter.”
Hugo
bristled in anger and was about to curse but couldn’t.
Warm lips were over his again and it cut off his words.
He was surprised when Yuber broke off the kiss after a few moments and
gazed down at him tenderly. Feeling suddenly courageous he decided to ask a
question that had been bothering him for weeks.
“Yuber?
What are we to each other?”
“What
do you mean Hugo?”
Gazing
down Hugo blushed furiously and missed the slight smirk on Yuber’s face.
“I
mean what is this feeling developing between us?”
Yuber
gazed down at the bowed head and thought over the question seriously.
Every time he was around the boy he felt a flare of passion, which could
develop into something else. He
didn’t feel the urge to hunt down the 27 True Runes like he used to and
destroy them. And also he was angry
that Hugo’s clan chief was trying to marry him off to another.
Cupping a warm hand around Hugo’s chin he titled his head up and gazed
down into green eyes. He saw the
shyness there and something more important.
“I
feel something really special between us Hugo and I have never felt it before.
I know that we were enemies in the past and that we can’t forget what
we did. But maybe just maybe we
should give what ever is between us a chance because we might never get the
chance again.”
Hugo
gazed up into Yuber’s eyes and nodded his head slowly.
Whatever was happening between them did deserve a chance and it did feel
special. He somehow knew that if he
didn’t take this chance then he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Things were going to get really complicated from here on out but what
wasn’t in life. Perhaps if he
solved this problem then maybe he would figure out his feelings for the blond
man.
“Alright
Yuber I am willing to try this.”
He was
startled when the man swept him into a tight hug and felt Yuber sigh. Circling
his arms around the blonde’s waist, he leaned into the embrace and smiled
contently.
Yuber
was glad that Hugo had made his choice and decided to try for it. Whatever was developing between them did deserve a chance and
he would make sure it succeeded. But
for now he would just enjoy the embrace that was freely given and worry about
everything later.

The End
Sorry if
this is slightly off or doesn’t make sense but aw well. Might make a
sequel but who knows.
