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...
Tulio pushed up from the ground in a state of shock. "You've waited?"
Miguel averted his gaze, embarrassed. This wasn't going as perfectly as the blond had hoped. He didn't know how to respond to his partner's baffled question.
"Waited for how long? How long have you had these... feelings?"
The blond turned an innocent stare up at the raven-haired Spaniard, "For... a long while now..."
"Exactly how long, Miguel?" Tulio reiterated.
"...Remember when we had escaped Cortes' ship?" Miguel asked softly. "And we eventually found ourselves floating along at sea, thinking we were never going to find an escape, just before we landed?"
"Yea..."
~/~/~/~/
"Well, if it's any consolation, Miguel, you... made my life... an adventure..."
"And if it's any consolation, Tulio, you made my life... rich..."
~/~/~/~/
"Well, I had... realized... that if we were to have died out at sea, I would have been okay with perishing, so long as... you were... by my side."
The memory finally clicked into place. And because he remembered the words that were exchanged that day, Tulio realized that Miguel spoke the truth. From that moment on, it had seemed the blond became closer to him than ever. Tulio couldn't believe how blind he had been to Miguel's obvious attraction to him. Even when he had found out that Miguel was angry with him while Tzekel-Kan had pitted them against each other, Tulio had never really questioned why he was angry to begin with-he just got angry right back at him.
It all made sense.
And now, really thinking back on it, the raven-haired man felt regretful. When him and Chel got together, he had dismissed Miguel entirely. The blond probably had heard what was said... It made his guilt expand ten-fold.
"So... when you were angry at me and we had planned on going our separate ways... back in El Dorado... was it because you listened in on me and Chel talking?" It was hard to look into his eyes when he asked.
"...Yes, I did."
"Miguel, I'm very sorry. You know I didn't mean any of those things now, don't you?" He looked up, desperately hoping that the spazzy blond had forgiven him.
"I know. I already forgave you when we blocked the entrance to El Dorado, amigo. Don't worry about it." Miguel smiled. "It's all behind us."
After a moment of silence, both men laid back down on the dirt next to each other, unsure of what to say next.
Of course, the blond broke the silence first. "So... what happens now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you know my... feelings... now." He said awkwardly.
Tulio chewed on his lower lip, thinking. "Yea..."
"So...?"
"What do I think?"
"...Yea..."
"Well, to be honest, I'm..."
Miguel unconsciously held in his breath, uncertain of what response he was waiting for, or whether he wanted to hear a response. The suspense was killing him nonetheless.
Tulio sat up on his elbows. "I... Uhh..."
Heartbeats sounded as loud as drums, but could be heard no louder than listening to the gentle wind.
"...Yes, Tulio?"
Tulio leaned down, a hair's breadth away from Miguel, looked deep into his eyes for a fraction of a second... and kissed him hard.
~/~/~/~/
"Finally..."
Chel always knew that something was between her two friends, even from the first day she met them while they pretended to be gods back in El Dorado. Something within her unconsciously knew that this was to be expected. Granted, she had had her heart-or, perhaps, carnal desires-set on Tulio, but after all, they weren't the only con-men around. She figured that once they found Tollan, loaded up on the spoils, and headed back to this strange land called "Spain", she would most likely take her share and split to explore their homeland.
She had laid there all night, trying to fall asleep, but Chel figured there was a reason that she couldn't. She had then listened in on Miguel's reminisces of home, the laughter they had shared, and finally, the confession-on both sides. She wasn't surprised. Neither was she upset by the revelation the two had experienced. They had their path; she had hers.
Chel curled onto her side near the dying embers of the fire, letting her eyelids close as she stifled a long awaited yawn.
It was just business.
~/~/~/~/
Dawn broke over the world, like a sprouting flower.
As Tulio opened his eyes by a fraction, he lazily smiled as he heard the distinct music of birds up above and the merry humming of what could only be Chel. He turned back over onto his side and buried his face deep into Miguel's shoulder, feeling lighter than air, as he nestled close to the blond in his arms...
"Oh MIERDA!" Tulio jumped up from the ground, jostling the sleeping blond awake.
"Are you okay, Tulio?" The blond Spaniard asked of him, albeit groggily.
He jumped, startled. "I-Of course I'm okay! Why wouldn't I be?" A shaky laugh punctuated the awkward moment.
Chel looked over her shoulder as she tended the small fire, giving him a smile. "Are you sure? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"I did! Just had a...uh...bad dream is all! Just now!"
Miguel got up from the ground, stretching as he went, pulling off his red shirt from his shoulders so he could somewhat cool off from the suffocating heat of the jungle.
"A bad dream, huh?" Miguel chuckled, his eyelids half mast. "Well, we could take a bath to wake us up a little."
The intention behind the seemingly harmless suggestion wasn't lost to the raven-haired man.
"Yea, and you two could catch breakfast while you're at it." Chel said, picking berries from a bush ten feet away and depositing them onto a large leaf that she had picked up.
"O-Oh. Well, that's-that's quite alright. I can probably use a bath some other time-"
Miguel grabbed his hand eagerly and pulled him along towards the pond they had found the day before. "C'mon, Tulio, don't be such a stick in the mud!"
Without any choice in the matter, Tulio let Miguel pull him off a little farther into the trees in search of the pond, unsure of how he was going to get himself out of this mess.
Sure, he liked Chel on the one hand, but coming to terms with his deeply hidden attraction to Miguel was a liberating experience for both him and his best friend. He just wasn't sure how he was going to break it to Chel.
Tulio and Chel had done countless and numerous things while they had all still been in El Dorado. How was she going to take this news of him and Miguel being together? Would she forgive him? How would he know if she just wouldn't disappear off into the forest as soon as she found out about them? His over-worried mind couldn't take the what-ifs.
He felt bad that he had betrayed her in favor of this crazy blond that was pulling him along to who-knows-where in the heart of this strange land... and pushing his way into his heart with every second... That mischievous smile of Miguel's always seemed to unknowingly tug at his heart...
Tulio was quite aware of the affect it had on him now.
Moments later, after turning this way and that, they stumbled upon the body of water. The blond squeezed his hand and smiled over at him before letting go. Seeing as he left his shirt back at camp, which was about ten minutes away, Miguel undid his beige pants, kicked off his shoes, and cannon-balled into the water.
As soon as he resurfaced, brushing his hair from his face, he smiled good-naturedly as Tulio wrung out his shirt from excess water that had hit him.
"So... Are you going to join me, or not?" Miguel slyly smirked.
He tried hard not to laugh as Tulio threw him a signature scowl.
Seeing the mirth glittering innocently from those green eyes, Tulio could do nothing but resign with a sigh, undress, and jump in after him.
He would just have to think about the what-ifs later.
A/N: Still plenty more to come! YAY for a fluffy chapter! Just wanted something fun and cute to write, since I seem to be in this serious/dark kick lately for writing my stories. R&R as always!
