Paired Couple: MiguelXTulio/SLASH!/Lime
A/N: Miguel, Chel and Tulio do not belong to me, they belong to Dreamworks. So on and so forth...
The three adventurers found themselves settling down that night after covering a lot of distance. Although they had no idea where they were headed, or much less where Tollan was located, they didn't let a little thing as direction get in the way of their determination. After having made up, and getting even on Chel, Miguel and Tulio had never been closer as two friends should.
Chel was just glad that they had stopped fighting.
As soon as the fire was set and the squirrels that Chel had caught earlier were roasting on the flames, all three friends sat back and enjoyed the usual night murmurs of the forest. In the small clearing they had chosen to make camp, they had a complete view of the night sky above them, with a quarter moon smiling down at them.
"It really is a nice night." Chel quietly said.
"Yea..." Both Tulio and Miguel replied simultaneously.
"So what direction should we head in the morning, guys? Any ideas?"
Tulio thought for a bit, tugging absently at his goatee. "Maybe that direction." He pointed to the South of the forest, randomly picking a direction.
The woman gave him a look. "That's the same direction we came from."
He shrugged and leaned back on his elbows. "Then the opposite it is."
They sat there for a time as Chel turned over the squirrel meat to cook. She looked up, her dark eyes pinning Miguel.
"Miguel?"
"Yea?"
"About earlier today... Why did you want to turn back to El Dorado?"
The blond Spaniard looked away for a second, even as his best friend gave him a quizzical look. He plucked a blade of grass from the ground next to his leg, thinking about what to say.
"I... I was afraid that either of you two would come to harm if we kept up with this venture... We had lost Altivo not too long ago and I just got so afraid that, perhaps, I was leading the way to our doom." He looked over at both of them, his eyes large and full of so much worry and fear. "I just don't know what I'd do if either of you were hurt or killed. I mean," He sighed, "losing Altivo is the hardest thing for all of us, but I don't think I could bear any more loss if either of you died. I just wanted to turn back to El Dorado, dig up the entrance from all those rocks, and just live there forever and not have to worry if we'll make it to see another sunrise."
Both Chel and Tulio started to say something, to reassure that his assessment was wrong and that he wasn't going to lose either of them, when a tear broke slowly down Miguel's cheek.
"I just hope that we make it to Tollan. I just hope we don't run into more trouble..." He gasped, his breathing uneven and shaky.
The raven-haired man walked over to him and sat down next to him. Putting a hand on his shoulder triggered an automatic response from Miguel, who immediately wrapped his arms around him in a tight, squeezing hug.
"Oh Miguel, stop it. None of us are going anywhere." Tulio said irritably.
"Promise?"
Tulio rolled his eyes. For Miguel's piece of mind, he said, "I promise."
~/~/~/~/~/
Later that night, when all three of them had laid down to bed, the fire burning low into glowing embers, Miguel laid wide awake. The blond was unable to sleep this night, wondering what the next day would bring. On a whim that was trademark of his character, Miguel turned over onto his other side and looked over at Tulio's back, who was seven feet away.
"Hey, Tulio. You awake?" He called out in a whisper.
Tulio grunted, but nothing more.
A little bit louder. "You awake, Tulio?"
"Wha-Yes, yes. I'm awake now," The irritated raven-haired man yawned. "What do you want?" He turned over to face him, wiping a hand over his face.
"I was just thinking... Remember when we were back in Spain? When we first met as kids?"
"You woke me up for this?"
"Please Tulio, humor me for once. Do you remember?"
Tulio scoffed. Humor you for once? Try a billion times since I've known you. "Yea. You were stealing your first loaf of bread and I covered for you when you hid in the door way to that one building behind me."
"Yea. You were a pretty good scam artist, from what I remember. By that time you were stealing all sorts of things. And lying. You were really good at it." He turned onto his back to look up at the stars and smiled. "I remember that you completely fooled the guard that was chasing me, saying that I jumped into the ocean over by the docks."
"Yea," Tulio began to laugh. "And he stupidly ran over to the docks and jumped in to find you! The look on his face when he-hahaha-saw us look down at him from the docks! He-hahaha-was so pissed!"
"Hahahaha! We got away with it too!" Miguel wiped a tear of mirth from his eyes.
"He looked for us for hours!"
"Well he didn't think to check the fish monger's stand!"
The two friends laughed hard, their sides aching from remembering their early shenanigans when they were young. Calming at last, they sat there, looking up at the night sky.
"You know," Miguel began, "I really admired you when we first met. You were like a vigilante; a hero to me. That's why I stole that bread. I wanted to prove to myself that I could be as daring and cunning as you."
"Well, you seemed to have proven yourself very well. You're a very successful conman." Tulio smiled over at him.
"...Tulio?"
"Miguel?"
"...I'm glad you're my friend."
"...Me too.
As Tulio closed his eyes, ready to finally fall back to sleep, he didn't anticipate the warm lips that suddenly touched his. Reopening his eyes, he found the blond Spaniard straddling him. The warm body that pressed into his felt familiar and... right? The mere thought sped through his mind in a second as the kiss deepened.
Although the initial shock of the kiss had startled him, he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
He did want it... didn't he?
Miguel parted lips with him and breathed slowly, as Tulio could feel his heart thumping hard against his own.
"Oh Tulio," He sighed, "I've waited for so long..."
A/N: …:) YAY FOR ACTION! LMAO! R&R as always...
