"Cao?"
Dun muttered from the threshold. The flames in the fireplace had died
down, wrapping the small study into darkness. He slowly stepped towards
the man sitting on the huge desk. "Are you awake?" "Did
you expect me to be asleep?" Cao asked tiredly. Dun sighed. No, he
had hoped so.
But after all he had known Cao would still be working. It was so typical
for him to work the whole night brooding over things he could not change
anyway.
He was not only Cao's cousin, but a very close friends since they were
children - and the only man allowed to visit the ruler of the biggest
Kingdom in China in his private quarters without being accompanied by
guards. The ruler of the Wei Kingdom chuckled, then finally he stopped
reading the papers in front of him and rubbed the back of his nose.
"Why are you here?"
"I was just checking on you." Dun stirred the fire, not
bothering to call for a servant.
When the study was once again filled with crackling sounds and warm
light, he turned around to face his lord.
Cao Cao was looking bad, to say it more precisely, he looked like he
hadn't slept in ages. His shoulders were tense, as was the rest of his
body, and he had dark circles around the eyes. But talking about it with
Cao was useless as always, so he didn't even try. Shaking his head Dun
stepped behind the smaller man and put his hands on his tense shoulders.
"I was just checking if you were comfortable."
After starting to massage Cao's back he reported: "Everything is
prepared. My men are ready to decamp at daybreak. I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Ah, very good." Cao closed his eyes and enjoyed Dun's massage,
which wasn't uncommon in a night like this. It was like when they were
young.
"So you came to say farewell. " Making a move to open his
lord's collar, Dun tried a joke.
"When I'm gone you will have to look for a replacement. maybe the
young girl I met on the stairs? " The next minute, Cao was yelping
as Dun pressed his strong fingers into the hardened muscles on his
back..
"Uh!"
Closing his eyes he responded, his voice hoarse. "Oh, I do not
think that anybody could replace you. I can't bring myself to relax in
the company of someone I can not . trust. Like you." At this he
smiled wickedly.
"Besides I bet you know that I enjoy your company as much as any
woman's.
Or maybe you have forgotten." Dun sighed inwardly, but didn't say
anything aloud. Why did he have to tease him again and again? He wished
that he had stayed in his own rooms tonight. Drinking himself senseless
now seemed a more reasonable alternative to coming here of all places.
But his treacherous feet had once again led him all the way to Cao's
quarters. "Why did you stop?" Cao interrupted his thoughts.
"Hmm, sorry.. " Cao smiled again, and Dun knew it without
seeing his lord's face. Usually this was a topic Dun tried to avoid.
He moved his hands upwards to Cao's neck, kneading the white skin until
it reddened.
Eliciting a groan from his cousin, he gently stroke the hairs on his
neck and - following a sudden impulse - he opened the hair-band which
held Cao's hair. At this Cao shivered noticeably. Touching the other
man's skin so intimately always succeeded in quickening Dun's heartbeat,
but actually watching him tremble under his touch brought back memories
of their youth.
They could have been not older than 16 back then. For one night he had
pushed all thoughts about rules and conventions aside and acted on his
fantasies. Dun had been surprised that Cao had surrendered so easily,
but Cao had been a young man who did not refuse pleasure, even if it
came from another man and that man was his cousin.
And whenever Dun closed his eye he could conjure up the image of the
young Cao Cao in the heat of pleasure. His face, his cheeks flushed, his
mouth slightly open, moaning.
"...
something amiss?"
"Huh?"
"I asked you if there was anything amiss."
"No, I'm just tired, that's all."
The
room grew very silent then, except for the crackling of the flames. Both
men were too weary to go on teasing each other and indulged in the
comforting silence.
And after some time Dun realised that Cao’s breath was coming at
regular intervals and his head was falling to one side.
