Summary: Orlando has known Viggo since he was a child, he grew up in Viggo's neighborhood but as he got older his friendship turned into something more. There was another who was also in love with Viggo, Karl. Karl and Orlando vie for Viggo's affection for years. Karl finally wins Viggo's heart, but has he really?
A/N: Orlando is still 32, yes I know he just had a birthday. But since I started this story with him at 32, I thought it would have been a silly thing to change considering he just made 33. ALSO HAD TO SLIPT INTO TWO PARTS BECAUSE ACCORDING TO LJ "CLIENT WAS TOO LARGE"
Disclaimer: Yes, I believe wholeheartedly Viggo and Orlando had this great epic love affair. But I don't have any proof what-so-ever, therefore, this story is a complete fabrication.
Feedback: Yes please, greatly encouraged.

Orlando woke up to the moon shining through the window in Sean’s guest room, he stretched, got up, slipped on his slippers, and went to the bathroom. When he came out he heard Sean moving around in his bedroom, he entered to find Sean packing for his business trip. Sean
had his suitcase on the bed and was going back and forth between the bed and his dresser pulling clothes in there. Orlando came and sat on his bed.

Sean smiled down at him, “Finally up, sleepy head, I was sure you would sleep through the night.”

Orlando smiled, “When are you coming back?” He asked softly, taking socks from the bed and putting them in the side of the suitcase.

“In a few days.”

Orlando nodded looking sad.

“Hey I know you hate to be alone, but I meant what I said call your friends just don’t let them burn down my house.”

Orlando laughed.

The phone ringed on Sean’s night stand, he went to it and picked it up, “Hello...Hey, yea hold on.”

Sean looked back to Orlando, “It’s Viggo.”

Orlando folded his arms, “I don’t want to talk to him.”

Sean nodded, not really wanting to be in the middle of this, even thought he knew he would be deep in the middle soon as he invited Orlando to stay with him.

“Um...” Sean started not knowing what to say to Viggo.

“It’s ok.” Viggo said.

Sean turned to whisper in the phone, “Just give him some space, Viggo.”

“I’m trying, but you know he won’t even answer my calls, and I'm worried about him. Sean just tell him I miss him.”

“Viggo, I don’t think...”

“Sean please.”

“Fine.” When Sean and Viggo were through talking, he looked to Orlando.

“You ok?”

“I’m fine.”

“Viggo said he misses you.”

Orlando rolled his eyes. “I’m sure.” He responded bitterly.

“He’s trying, Orli.”

“I can’t keep doing his, I love him so much.” He started to cry. Sean sat down next to him.

“I know.” Sean lowered his head and took in a breath before looking back at him, “Maybe it’s time to tell him.”

Orlando quickly turned to him, his eyes widening, “No, I can’t! And
you won’t tell him either!”

Sean relented a sigh, “I promised I wouldn’t, so I won’t.”

“Thank you.” He said softly.

Sean said no more on the subject.

He pulled Orlando to him to kiss him on the forehead. “Well I have to get some shut eye, you want some money for pizza or anything?”

Orlando laughed, “Beanie, I have money.”

“Sorry, Orli, but remember I’ve known you just as long as Viggo, it’s easy to forget you’re an adult, you don’t look it.”

Orlando gave him a warm smile.

“Yea and according to Viggo, I don’t act like it either.”

“Orli, come on.”

“Alright, alright I’ll stop.”

Orlando stood up, “Night, Beanie, I guess you’ll be gone in the morning. But your car is in the shop, how are you getting to the airport?”

“Cab.”

“That’s ridiculous I’ll take you, it’s the least I could do.”

“No, I’m use to it, no need to wake you, ok. It’s quite alright, I have to leave really early in the morning and Viggo’s going to pick me up from the airport thursday night.”

Orlando nodded, he gave Sean a hug.

“Night, Orli.” he said standing up and watching Orlando leave the room and go
downstairs.

*~*~*

Orlando was laying on the couch watching TV and flipping channels when the doorbell, ringed he looked at the clock, it was 3:16 am, he shook his head wondering who in the world could be here this time of night. Orlando lazily got up from the couch, but hurried as fast as he could to the door before whoever it was woke up Sean.

He opened it to see Viggo standing there like he hadn’t slept in days, even though it had only been hours since Orlando last see him.

“Hi.” Viggo said innocently like he was expecting Orlando to slam the door in his face.

“Hello.” Orlando said lacking his usual vibrant enthusiasm and that made Viggo a little hesitant..

“How are you?” Viggo asked.

“I was fine until you showed up; Alzheimer's must be kicking in already, Viggo, because I swear I said I didn’t want to talk to you.”

Viggo sighed , “Orli, I know you really didn’t mean that.”

“No, I really did.” Orlando’s lowered his firm tone, as he felt himself weakening at Viggo’s presence. “What do you want, Viggo?”

“I brought your bags.”

Orlando looked past him, “Where are they?”

“I left them, them in the car I wanted to talk to you first.”

“Viggo, please.” He wined, “Beanie is trying to sleep, and I don’t care what you want to talk about, you’ve said everything I need to hear.”

He turned to go back in the house, but Viggo grabbed his hand, “Orli, wait, just give me a minute that’s all I’m asking for. Please, will you step outside so we won’t wake up Beanie.” Orlando relented, he let Viggo pull him out the door way as he slowly pulled the door close behind him.

“Fine, go, one minute.” Orlando said with a hint of hostility.

Viggo sighed, “I’m sorry about what happen between you and Karl, but you know he would never...”

Orlando cut him off, “What, Viggo, he would never what? Try to kill me? Oh I’m sorry, I must have missed that when he had his hands around my neck.” he cried.

“Orli, don’t be like that.”

Tears were welding up in Orlando’s eyes.

“Like, what? Look if you came over here just to defend your obsessive, deranged boyfriend to me, you can leave. No it’s not my place to tell you that, but I’m sure Beanie would feel the same way, I’d just hate to wake him up to do it.”

“I wasn’t going to say that, you have every reason to be upset.”

“Believe me I’m more then upset!"

Viggo took Orlando’s wrist in his hand. Orlando flinched looking at the red bruise Viggo left earlier on Orlando’s delicate skin. Viggo couldn’t help the tears falling down his face at the realization of what he was really doing to Orlando. “I’m so sorry.”

Orlando pulled his arm away, “You know you have a funny way of showing it.”

Viggo wiped his face, “Orlando why? Because I’m still with him?”

Viggo took Orlando’s silence as an answer, “Look, Orli, I can’t just leave Karl.”

“Why not? I just left Eric.” He reminded Viggo sharply.

“Yea you also Just...” Viggo started but caught himself. “Never
mine.”

The pain Viggo now saw in Orlando’s eyes was one he swore he’d never want to see again.

“I didn’t mean that.”

“I think your minute is up.” Orlando said coldly, he walked past Viggo.

“Stop, Orli! That’s the problem, when something happens, you just walk away. Not this time.”

Orlando looked at him, allowing himself to see Viggo was just as lost as him.

“Fine, Viggo, what do you want?” He snapped.

“I know Karl didn’t attack you for no reason.”

Orlando opened his mouth in disbelief, “So this is my fault, we’re back at this again. You know what I really am through talking now, just get out of my face before you make me really mad.”

“Wait, I never said it was your fault. I would never condone what he did or him hurting you, didn’t you hear us fighting?”

“Yes, I did. I heard everything and I do mean everything.” Orlando bellowed.

Viggo looked at Orlando softly, “Then you know where I stand. Now please, tell me you said.”

“You told Karl it didn’t matter, so why are we discussing this?”

“I just need to understand.”

“Understand what? I love you, he loves you, I’m all talk and he’s a psycho, and if you haven’t realized that by now then I feel sorry for you.”

“Orli!”

Orlando sighed, “Fine, I just told him the truth.”

“The truth or your version of the truth?”

Orlando rolled his eyes, “The whole truth, everything. Look what do you want?”

“I just want to know what happened in there, will you please just give me that?”

Orlando’s stubbornness finally gave way, “I just told him what you haven’t had the balls to tell him the entire course of your relationship.”

Viggo began to feel his nerves unravel, “And what was that?”

Orlando gave him a cunning smile, “That you’re still in love with me,
and you’ve been sleeping with me ever since you two got together.”

Viggo arched his eyebrows, “Orlando, you did not!” he yelled so loud, Orlando expected every light in the neighborhood to come on.

“I sure did, and keep your voice down, I told you Beanie is trying to sleep.”

Viggo grabbed his upper arm and pulled him further into the yard away from the door.

“Orlando I can’t believe you.”

Orlando snatched his arm away, “Don’t grab me like that, Viggo, I’m not 15 anymore”

Viggo released him, “Why would you do that, Orli it was spiteful and volatile, you’re suppose be better then that why must you go out of your way to hurt him?”

“I’m not the one hurting him, Viggo, you are!” Orlando screamed, Viggo stepped back feeling the cloud of Orlando’s words over him.

“Yea, I thought that would get your attention.” Orlando slowly began circling himself around Viggo running his hands around him as he did. “Viggo, you love me, yet your living with Karl, yet, you’re sleeping with me.”

“And I said wouldn’t do that again.” Viggo reminded even though he failed to believe it himself.

“You say that every time, but we both know you can only go so long without feeling my touch. If I remember correctly you were only with Karl two days before you were back in my pants.”

Orlando’s taunting became serious, “You’re the one hurting him, Viggo, so stop blaming everybody else for your screwed up relationship, it’s not my fault you can’t keep your goddam hands off me.”

“Orlando, now wait a minute. It took me a long time to get over you. You’d moved on with Eric, we were broken up for a year before I finally gave Karl a chance and to top it off the entire year you barely talked to me. And it made me sick every time I had to see with that asshole and his hands all over you. You fucking lived around the corner with him, But as soon as you found out me and Karl were going out you acted like your life was over, remember how hysterical you were? What was I suppose to do..."

*********************

5 Years Earlier

Viggo had just came home from his date with Karl, his house was so dark he’d almost ran into the couch, he went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator before heading up stairs, once he was in his room he sat the bottle on his nightstand, turning when he saw a shadow squatting in the corner.

“Orlando?”

Viggo could make out his tear stained cheeks.

“Tell me it isn’t true.” Orlando pleaded, his eyes glistening as they looked up at Viggo.

“Tell you what?” Viggo asked with wary confusion.

“That you’re going out with Karl.” Orlando continued.

“I can’t tell you that.” Viggo said staring deeply into Orlando's eyes hating to have to admit it.

“So you love him?” Orlando began to cry again.

Viggo couldn’t answer, “How did you get in here?”

“You still leave the key under the matt at the backdoor, I had to talk to you.” Orlando stood up coming closer towards Viggo.

“Well you got what you came here for, I answered your question, so please leave.” Viggo begged before he let Orlando unravel his emotions.

“That’s not all I came here for, tell me you don’t love him, Viggo. Tell me you still love me.” Orlando suddenly rushed to him, wrapping his arms around his neck struggling to kiss him, “Viggo please.” He cried desperately. Viggo pushed him away, and Orlando fell to Viggo’s feet,
hyperventilating while crying.

“Orli, stop, get up.” Viggo lifted him up by his arms.

“I just need to know, Viggo.”

“Why? You’re with Eric, that’s who keep who keeps you warm at night. That’s who you choose to be with, isn’t it? And what do I have, nothing!” Viggo admitted releasing all his repressed emotions at once. “Just leave, Orli, please don’t make this harder then it has to be.”

“I couldn’t take it if you didn’t love me anymore.” Orlando cupped his face, “Just say it, say you don’t love him, say you love me, please say it....”

When Viggo failed to respond, Orlando screamed, “SAY IT!” He kissed him so passionately, Viggo was unable pull away.

“Ok, ok, ok, Orli, I’m here baby. Calm down. Ok” Viggo took Orlando’s face in his hands, “I don’t love Karl, I never have, I never will.” Viggo kissed his forehead and ran his hands through his hair, “I still love you, I always have,” He kissed his lips, “I always will.”

“Prove it, I need you.” Orlando started unfastening Viggo’s pants. “Show me.”

Orlando walked to bed and began unbuttoning his shirt, if Viggo wanted to run, he didn’t think he could, he went to Orlando meeting him in a fiery kiss that sent shock waves through both of them, they wrapped their arms around each other, still locking there lips together only
breaking it to remove their clothes. They were now completely naked, it had been so long since they’d touched each other, Viggo sat up on his knees looking down at Orlando, who spread his legs for Viggo, he needed this, Viggo needed to show him the part of him that would never
let Orlando go, and the only way to do was to give him his heart, mind, body, and soul tonight. Orlando reached up for him, Viggo slowly came in between Orlando’s thighs, as Viggo grinded into his body into Orlando moaned, dragging his fingers down Viggo’s back. Viggo felt Orlando shivering, his floundering emotions still running and only Viggo could help him. “It’s ok, baby, I’m here.” He said spreading Orlando so he could enter him, Orlando held him tighter like he was holding on for dear life, Viggo sped up his thrust, he gripped the headboard above Orlando’s head, he was unable to tear his eyes away from Orlando who’s face was still dripping in so much passion for Viggo, Orlando glided with him, Viggo grunted feeling himself peaking, “Oh, Orli...I love you, baby.” Viggo curved his arms around Orlando’s head, a few more thrust and he came hard in Orlando’s body he was breathing heavy as he laid in Orlando’s arms.

Orlando ran his hands through Viggo’s hair, “See, Viggo, I told you you weren’t over me.”

Viggo rose up and sat on the side of the bed, Orlando sat up behind him kissing his shoulder, “Orli.” He said standing up, “This doesn’t change anything, I’m still with Karl and you’re still with Eric.” He grabbed his clothes from the floor and handed Orlando his, Orlando came up to him, “It doesn’t have to be that way.”

Orlando looked up at Viggo, hurt but not as distressed as he was earlier.

Viggo went to stand in the open doorway, “Orlando please, you’ve moved on, now let me do the same. I gave you what you needed, but that’s it. Don’t pull something like this again, I won’t be so giving next time. We’re over, now go home to your boyfriend.” Orlando got dressed and came to meet Viggo in the doorway, “I hate to break this to you if you haven’t realized it by now, but we will never be over!”

Orlando took Viggo’s face in his hands and kissed him on the lips and left Viggo alone with his thoughts.

********************

End Flashback

********************

Orlando turned on him, “So it’s my fault you cheated on your boyfriend?”

Viggo ran his hands through his hair, “Look, I see there is no getting through to you...”

Orlando cut him off, “What about London, Viggo?”

Viggo gave him a soft look.

Orlando continued, “You say that you just wanted to make me feel better the first time, it was just your heroism that you needed to rescue me from my distressed state, even if it was just one night. Then what about when I help my parents move back to London and you came to visit and fly back with me?”

“Orlando, you play these games so well; you played them that night, you played them at my house and you played them in London. I can’t win with you, Orli, so yea I betrayed Karl again with you in London, your parents were barely there as usual, you walked around the house
most of the time naked, oh and I had to sleep with you because you hate sleeping alone.” Viggo said trying to reason with both Orlando and himself.

“So I seduced you into calling me? Damn! I must be good.” he stated hotly before going on, “It was you that picked up the phone, Viggo, with, I miss you so much, baby...’. And you crawled in my bed because you didn’t want me to sleep alone, right? You were helping me out as usual, right? But actually how quickly you forget that it was your hands on me before I could tell you if I were lonely or not. But fine if it makes you feel better, I seduced you.” Orlando relayed completely and assertively.

Viggo let out a deep sigh, “Orli...”

Orlando held up his hands, “Wait, I’m far from finish with you, Viggo.” he said.

Viggo slowly went to sit down on the porch, figuring he’d opened up a can of worms and this was going to be a long night.

“What about your high school reunion at the Marriott, huh? Karl as usual wouldn’t know a good time if it slapped him in the face didn’t want to go with you, so you asked me. Then you dragged me to the bathroom, you’d barely closed the door before you had be against the stall. Remember whispering in my ear how baaaad you wanted me. Oh how do I remember how baaaad you needed it, and you showed me when you had my pants around my ankle.”

“Ok, that night I was drunk.” Viggo snapped as an excuse for his behavior.

Orlando laughed mockingly, “Viggo being drunk loosens your inhibitions, you’re a smart man you should know that. So what I’m saying is you did something drunk you usually would not have the balls to do sober, but you've proven time and time again you have the balls to do a lot of things. But ok; I’ll give you that one too if you want, you were drunk, and it meant nothing.”

Viggo looked up at him, his sad face breaking Viggo’s heart, “Don’t say that.”

“I don’t have to say it, you just did.” Orlando came to sit next to him, their knees now touching.

“What about the night my car got a flat and I didn’t have a spare and I called you because I knew you would always be there to rescue me, which you did. You gave me a ride home, Eric was working late, so you stayed with me to keep me company, and you remember what happened next?”

Viggo looked at him, “Yes, I remember.”

“And you remember Beanie’s birthday last year? You found me at the park after another one of me and Eric’s infamous fights. We made love right under the slide. Remember what you told me?”

Viggo nodded and completed Orlando’s thought, “That I would never forget our love; and I haven’t, Orli. You’re right there are no mistakes when I’m with you, I thought I could fight it but you know me and you know what we had is still alive and it’s always been pure and intentional.”

Orlando stood up, “Then will you finally stop blaming me because you’re with someone don’t want to be with?”

Orlando suddenly felt his heart squeezing.

“But Karl is safe, right? He won’t ever hurt you, right? Of course not, he’s too obsessed with you for that, but I would and you can’t trust me anymore.”

Viggo avoided his eyes until he spoke again.

“What happened to us, Viggo? What happened to forever?” he asked, feeling like he was searching for a distant memory.

Viggo scanned his eyes looking for the right words to say. “I told you forever was a long time.”

Orlando lowered his head, “Yes you did, I guess you were right.” he said sadly, he turned to leave, Viggo grabbed his hand, “Orli, wait come on.”

“Let me go!” Orlando begged not feeling his heart could take any more.

“I’m not through talking to you.” Viggo said pleadingly.

“I don’t care, I’m through listening.”

“I know you’re angry, frustrated but this can’t be it.”

“I’m sick and tired of this, Viggo, I love you, I do more than I think you will ever know and I will fight to the last breath for you, and I almost did today.” He cried.

Viggo pulled him into his arms, “Shhh, I know he hurt you but I promise I will never let that happen again.”

Orlando looked up at him, “And what about you, Viggo, can you make that same promise about yourself?”

Viggo wiped his tears, “Let’s go for a ride.” he said without answering the question.

“Are you kidding? Do you know what time it is?”

“Please.” Viggo said looking into Orlando’s eyes with a million emotions that made it impossible for Orlando to deny him anything.

Orlando rolled his eyes, “Fine, let me get my coat.” He said heading inside.

Viggo waited outside when Orlando returned a moment later.

“Lets go.” Viggo said.

*~*~*

Viggo took frequent glances at Orlando who was staring out the window.

He sat up, “Shit I forgot to leave Beanie a note.”

“I’m sure he knows you're with me.”

“Where are we going anyway?” Orlando asked.

“Nowhere in particular, just driving.” Viggo replied smiling over at him.

“Oh you wanted my company?” Orlando said returning Viggo’s warm smile.

“Yea I did, I miss you.” Viggo admitted.

“I’m sure you do.” Orlando threw at Viggo with sexual undertone.

“Why don’t you stay with me until Sean gets back?” Viggo asked scared of the answer because of the way Orlando responded earlier..

Orlando laughed, “You’re joking.”

“You hate being alone, Orli, you’ll be in that big house all by yourself.”

“At least I don’t have to worry about someone poising my food.”

“I’ll keep Karl at bay.”

“I’m sure you’ll try.”

Before Viggo could respond, Orlando started sniffing, “Is something burning?”

Viggo widen his eyes, swerving to the side of the road, “Orli get out the car.”

Viggo hopped out and Orlando did as he said. Viggo opened the hood, to see fire from it, Orlando bought a water bottle from the cup holder and Viggo poured it on the small blaze coming from the carburetor.

“Well, that’s great.” Viggo said angrily before looking helplessly at Orlando.

“So much for our nice drive in the country.” Orlando responded sarcastically. Viggo pulled out his cell phone to call AAA. Orlando sat in down in the drivers seat with the door open and listened as Viggo argued with them, and then he put his phone angrily back in his pocket.

“What did they say?”

“They laid off and cutback so many people that they can’t get anyone out here for at lease five hours.”

“What?” Orlando stepped back out the car.

“I’m gonna call Sean.” Viggo said.

“Sean’s left all ready.” Orlando said yawning and stretching.

“I could Karl.” Viggo added as another suggestion.

Orlando looked at him and shook his head, “Please, do you really want him to find you out here with me? Oh he’ll pick you up and leave me standing out here.”

Viggo laughed, “You’re probably right. Ok so what do we just sit here for five hours? I know you don’t want to do that either.”

“I’m getting sleepy. There’s a hotel up the street, can’t we just go sleep there and maybe you will have better luck with a tow truck in the morning.”

Viggo hesitated, Orlando noticed.

“Unless you’re scared to be alone with me.” Orlando winked and started walking.

Viggo took a deep breath, “Now why would I be scared to be alone with you?” he murmured under his breath before following Orlando.

*~*~*

Orlando and Viggo entered the hotel. It was dingy and rundown and the clerk was a big, burly, baldheaded man with santa clause beard, who was talking to someone on the phone while smacking on a twinkie when the two men approached.

He didn’t pay attention to them, and just kept talking and eating. “Excuse me, sorry to interrupt your very important conversation, but could we get a room?” Viggo asked.

The man finally hung up from who ever he was talking to. He looked from Viggo to Orlando, who he looked up and down, then back to Viggo, “You’re a lucky man, Honeymoon Suite?”

“This dump has a honeymoon suite?” Orlando remarked.

“Orli, it was a joke.” Viggo told him turning back to the clerk, “Can we just get a room?” He eyed Orlando, who was already to tempting to be near him, “Twin beds.”

The man continue to stare at Orlando, “You sure you don’t want to share a bed with your hot young friend here?” he said licking his lips. Orlando stood closer to Viggo, growing a disgusted look on his face, Viggo put his arms tight around him.

“Just give us a room.” Viggo barked annoyed at the way the man was gawking at the younger man.

“I’m sorry but we only have two rooms left and they both only have one bed. I guess you really are a lucky man.”

Viggo rolled his eyes, and looked over to Orlando again who slightly smiled before yawning once more. Viggo could tell he was tired and didn’t want to spend the whole night battling his conscious to avoid spending the night alone with him. “Fine, whatever.” he said handing the man his visa.

The clerk swiped the card and handed Viggo the key and back his card, “Room 117.” he said.

Orlando followed Viggo out the office, Viggo felt the clerk’s wandering eyes and took Orlando’s arm, pulling him protectively to his side as if he thought the man was about to jump over the counter and drag him to a dark cave.

When they enter the room, Orlando fell face first on the queen size bed.

“Tired huh?” Viggo asked smiling down at him while taking off his jacket and tossing it on the chair by the window.

“Well I was on my way to sleep when you dragged me outta the house.” Orlando replied out of the corner of his mouth, turning his head to the side to face Viggo when he crawled in bed next to him.

Viggo took off Orlando’s jacket, “Awww, I’m sorry. So are you saying you don’t want to be stuck in a hotel with me?” He teased.

Orlando frowned playfully.

Viggo laughed rising back up from the bed, “Well I’m going to wash up, behave.”

“Yea, yea.” Orlando remarked turning over on his back.

Viggo came out the bathroom, he was now waring just his boxers and was
wiping his face with a wash cloth, he walked over to the desk and looked in the mirror. That’s when he notice Orlando’s reflection in bed behind him, completely naked. Viggo put the towel down and turned around. He had to take a deep breath as he couldn’t keep his eyes from roaming over Orlando’s alluring presence.

“Hey, Vig, like what you see?” Orlando asked even though he already knew the answer. Viggo came and sat at the foot of the bed.

“I thought you were sleepy.”

Orlando crawled up behind him, “I woke and and so did little Orlando.” Orlando eyed the bulge in Viggo’s boxes, and leaned against Viggo’s ear, “Looks like little Vig did too.”

“Orli don’t...”

Orlando began to give him a massage, “Remember, Viggo, I told you wouldn’t win.”

Viggo lowered his head, “Yea, can’t say you didn’t warn me.”

“You’re so tense.” Orlando whispered against Viggo’s ear.

“Whose fault is that?” Viggo leaned his head to the side to meet Orlando’s eyes.

Orlando smiled, “You’ll sleep better when you relieve some of this stress.”

Viggo turned to him, “I don’t think so, not when I’m with the source of my stress.”

Orlando slowly kissed his neck, Viggo closed his eyes his body getting hot.

“I may be the source, but I can also help you release it,” he said snaking himself around Viggo so he was sitting on his lap with his legs around his waist.

Viggo ran his hands up and down his back, while Orlando kissed his neck, he rocked back and forth on Viggo’s lap, grinding his ass against Viggo’s cock.

“I miss this, Vig...” he said kissing the corner of his mouth, up and down his jaw line he continued, “I miss this fat dick inside me. I want it. And you want it just as bad.” he whispered.

“Orli, I don’t have the strength to fight you tonight, it’s too late.” Viggo breathed out.

Orlando moved back on Viggo thighs enough to put his hand thought the slit in Viggo’s boxers and began stroking his groin, “Then don’t fight, Viggo.” he said as he pulled it out into his hand and captured Viggo’s lips in a responsive kiss.

Viggo moaned into Orlando’s mouth, as he pumped his cock, Viggo gripped his ass then put his arms under him so he could lift him up.
Viggo turned around and laid Orlando on the bed, he was now standing over him, he dropped his boxers. Orlando bit his lips looking up at Viggo wantonly. Viggo loosened his own restraint. He knew there was no way he would get any peace if he didn’t give Orlando what he wanted
but who was kidding? Orlando was right, he wanted it too.

Viggo leaned over on top of Orlando, running his hands through his curls. “Vig...” Orlando moaned, Viggo pushed Orlando’s legs apart. Viggo put his finger into Orlando arched his back and Viggo ran his other hand over Orlando’s chest, squeezing his nipples before replacing his fingers with his mouth, he then began stroking his cock, Orlando felt he was going to levitate off the bed. He began panting louder between Viggo’s pumping his cock and jerking his ass. Viggo
removed his fingers from Orlando’s body, he then leaned down, quickly replacing his hand with his mouth to catch Orlando’s essence in his willing mouth. “Ahhh, oh shit! VIGGO...” Orlando came hard and Viggo every drop, he held Orlando’s thighs, then he rolled on top oh him, “I want you so bad, Orli.” Orlando smiled feeling his body light with pleasure. Viggo pushed his knees against his chest so he could enter him, Orlando gripped Viggo’s arms feeling the thick contact. Viggo slowly moved in and out of him, he leaned down to kiss him and Orlando ran his arm though Viggo holding on to his back, he slipped his hands up to his hair, Viggo shut his eyes thrusting his hips as he came hard, both their hair was drenched with sweat.

He laid down on Orlando, “How was that for stress relief?”

Viggo smiled and turned on his back, he pulled Orlando into his arms combing his fingers though his curls, “Words can’t describe how that was.”

Viggo looked down in to Orlando’s eyes, “I’m sorry again for earlier, Orli.”

“Viggo stop apologizing for Karl, it’s not your fault.” Orlando said hating that their bliss had to revert back to Karl.

“I just want you to know he wouldn’t have hurt you.” Viggo said with an ounce of reassurance and an ounce of trepidation.

“What makes you so sure?” Orlando looked up to him.

“Because he knows I love you.” Viggo admitted.

Orlando gave him a warm smile, “But if he can’t have all of you, why should he care?

I’m just in the way now, just like I’ve always been.”

Orlando started falling asleep on Viggo’s chest, Viggo kissed his forehead, with Orlando’s statement sending shivers down his spine and finally he closed his eyes as well.

Viggo woke up to the sound of the cell phone going off, he reached around Orlando to answer it, before it woke him up.

“Hello.”

“Where are you?” Karl snarled from the other end.

“Car trouble and AAA wouldn’t be able to get out here tonight so I just got a hotel.”

“You should have called me, I would have came and got you.”

“I didn’t want to bother you, being so late and all.”

Viggo you’re my boyfriend, I remember that even if you seem to forget some time.

Viggo sighed, “Karl.”

“Forget it, you there alone?” He asked suspiciously.

Viggo looked down at Orlando as he slept, breathing softly against Viggo’s chest. “Yes, of course, who else would I be with?”

“We’re not at this again, Viggo, don’t play dumb! WHO ELSE WOULD YOU BE WITH?”

“Don’t worry, Karl, I’m alone.”

“Alright I will see you in the morning, I love you.”

Viggo hesitated knowing karl had to notice it as well, he looked at Orlando and softly said into the phone, “I love you too.”

Orlando was not witness to Viggo’s actions but opened his eyes briefly suddenly feeling he was no closer to getting Viggo back then he was since they broke up.

Karl placed the phone back on the hook, he laid in bed with his eyes starring off like with thousands of malicious thoughts going through his head. Viggo lied, he knew that, he was good at a lot of things but lying wasn’t one of them, unlike he was and Orlando. Orlando was there with him. Viggo still wasn’t over him. After everything he still loves him. Karl had to make sure he gets over him once and for all.

*~*~*

“$1500 to fix my damn jeep.” Viggo shouted.

Orlando sat innocently in the passenger seat, “Sorry.”

Viggo looked at him, “It’s not your fault. I’m glad you were with me.”

Orlando smiled, “It’s a beautiful out here this morning, huh?” Orlando said as Viggo drove back to their neighborhood.

“Yea it is a pretty nice day for a drive, better than 3 in the morning right?” Orlando giggled.

Viggo did the same, “Hey have you talked to Sean?”

“Yea he called while you were in the shower to see where I was and if I was ok.”

“I told him I was with you.”

Viggo slightly laughed, “What did he have to say about that.”

“He laughed, he said he figured and said he hoped we had fun last night.”

Orlando winked at Viggo, “I told him we did, oh yea he said don’t forget to pick him up from the airport thursday.”

Viggo gave him a bemused smile and nodded. “You’re going to stay at Sean's house all by yourself?”

“Don’t worry If I see any monsters, I’ll be sure to call you.”

Viggo gave him a chastising look, “Why don’t you come back stay with me, just until Beanie gets back.”

Orlando almost choked on the muffin he was eating, “Are you fucking kidding me? You were really serious about that? Look, I love you to death, I really do but there is now way in Hell I’m staying under the same roof as you and the lunatic.”

Viggo patted his thigh, “Wow he really got to you.” Viggo smiled.

“Viggo you seem to not understand, I couldn’t breathe, if you guys hadn’t came in...” Orlando felt tears weld up in his eyes. Orlando wiped his face. “Viggo I just don’t think this is a good idea.”

Viggo massaged Orlando’s neck, “I promise you will be safe.”

“Don’t make promises you can’t guarantee.”

“Come on, come home with me. I'll walk down the street and pick your car up for you later. Please, Orli,” Viggo said giving him puppy dog eyes.

“I really was that good, huh?” Orlando asked seductively.

Viggo turned red, “That’s not what this is about!” He said defensively.

Orlando laughed, “Calm down, don’t get your boxers in a knot, I was only joking.”

Viggo smiled.

“Fine, I’ll stay with you on one condition.”

“You’re not going to say make love to you on demand are you?”

Orlando cheesed, “No, but that’s not a bad idea.”

Viggo smirked, “Ok, then you name it.”

“Keep your bulldog on a leash.”

Viggo smiled, “Done!”

*~*~*

Viggo and Orlando pulled up in the driveway. “I’ll stay in the car.” Orlando said lightly while shifting nervously in his seat

“Ok, I’m gonna go talk to Karl, but it’s gonna be ok. I promise.” Viggo said reassuringly.

Orlando rolled his eyes, turned and shot his finger in Viggo’s direction, “And you be sure to tell him this was completely your idea.”

Viggo leaned over, taking Orlando’s face in his hands to kiss him on the forehead, “I will, oh and Orli can you promise me one thing...”

“I won’t mention last night.” Orlando promised for Viggo’s benefit.

“Thank you.”

Orlando nodded.

Viggo got out the car.

Before he closed the door Orlando called over to him, “Viggo, don’t forget your shield,” he teased. Viggo laughed and closed the driver side door. He exchanged an adoring look with Orlando through the window before heading in the house.

Karl was sitting on the couch drinking a bottle of vodka and watching last Monday night’s football on the DVR when Viggo entered.

“Little early for drinking don’t you think?” Viggo asked closing the door.

Karl briefly looked up at him and went back to the game.

Viggo watched him sit there looking like he was lacking any emotion least of all compassion. He didn’t how to tell him he’d brought Orlando back.

Karl looked back at him, “Did you get your jeep fixed?”

Viggo nodded, “Yea, needed a new carburetor. That’s what took me
so long.”

Karl looked at him skeptically and got up and went into the kitchen with his bottle and glass. He returned, walking up to Viggo to give him a kiss, Viggo took it and watched Karl walk back to the couch, “Did you eat breakfast?” Karl said over his shoulder as before he sat down.

“Yea.” Viggo said nervously.

Karl was beginning to get suspicious as to why Viggo was just standing in the middle of the living room, “Is there something on your mind?” he asked.

Viggo came and sat next to him, taking his hand. “I need to ask you something.” Karl didn’t like the sound of that and he knew whatever it was, it had to do with Orlando.

“What is it?” He asked reluctantly.

Viggo took a deep breath and went on, “Well as you know Beanie won’t be back ‘til Thursday.”

Karl stood up, cutting him off, “Stop right there, Viggo. That prick is not staying with us!”

“Karl...” he began before lowing his head, “I’m all he has,” he said raising his head back to look at Karl.

Karl shot up, “You are a real piece of work, Viggo. What kind of power does he have over you? I love you, all he has ever done is take advantage of everything you do for him. When will you put our love first? You need to choose, Viggo, once and for all him or me!” Karl’s anger and frustration was worst than Viggo had seen before. For a second, Viggo second guessed himself and though he should take Orlando back to Sean’s.

Viggo got up and walked to Karl, “I wish you could see who I’ve already chosen, I’m here with you.”

“Only because he was unavailable and we both know why. But now he wants you back and to Hell with me, right?”

“Karl...Please. It’s just a few days...”

“Save it, do what you want, Viggo, you’re going to anyway.” Karl said taking off up the stairs.

Viggo tilted his head back and ran his hands over his face, “Oh, God,
help me.” He sighed and went out to get Orlando.

Orlando was sitting in the passenger seat, contently reading one of Viggo’s horse magazines when Viggo came and opened the driver’s side door and sat down. Orlando closed the magazine, “I see you made it out alive,” he said laughing.

Viggo looked over to him, “Barely.”

Orlando smiled, “So what were the terms? I have to stay in Brego’s barn?”

Viggo chuckled.

“Not quite, but please stay out of his way. Sean will be back and then everything can go back to normal.”

Orlando got out and went to grab his bags, “Nothing will ever be normal until you and I are back together.” He walked around Viggo giving him a knowing look as Viggo watched him until he went in the house. A part of Viggo was screaming that Orlando was right.

Karl sat on the edge of the his and Viggo’s bed watching through the cracked door as Viggo helped Orlando bring his bags back to the guest room. Viggo walked into the hall, “If you need anything else, just come find me.”

Orlando came and threw his arms around Viggo’s neck. “Thanks, Vig,” he said kissing him on the cheek. Viggo watched Orlando go back into the room, closing the door behind him.

Karl watched Viggo stare at Orlando’s door for the longest, all the love and desire he’d never shown Karl was all over Viggo’s face when he looked after Orlando. Karl clinched his fist into a ball, “What is it going to take for you to forget about him, Viggo, What do I have to do to wipe him out of your life forever.” He mumbled under his breath. Slowly Karl got up and went to close the door all the way so he no longer saw Viggo, while Karl’s dark eyes faded from sight.
