Apollo`s Dirty Little Secret By Betty Date: March 2001 Fandom: Battlestar Galactica Rating: NC-17 Category: Slash Disclaimer: Apollo is my sex slave, I bought him last summer on a whim. Distribution: Please let me know where. Feedback: er.br@sympatico.ca Summary: Apollo has a secret that he doesn`t want anyone knowing about. Apollo finished up the last of the reports the Colonel had wanted, clicked send, then sat back and breathed a sigh of relief. It was getting late, very late and he should have been back to his quarters centars ago. His Master had ordered it. Apollo`s Master was really only an 'online' Master. Someone he chatted with at night after his duty shift after the day was over and Boxey had gone to bed. But Apollo still tried to do as the man ordered. Even though he didn`t know the true identity of ShiningRogue, his Master`s online name, ShiningRogue knew he was, and reminded him of it every night. Apollo had lost count of the times his Master told him about something he had done during the day, even things he had done in the OC. The thought that his Master could be one of his very own men, someone he gave military orders to while on duty, made his secret seem even more wicked. At first he thought he could figure it out. Believing his Master would be angry at him for some duty he was made to perform, but was soon proved wrong. He was never punished for any duties he dished out, his Master knew and respected the difference between duty and fun. Instead he would be punished for trivial things like the time he bumped into Bojay and knocked his drink to the floor, or the time he stepped on Boomer`s foot, little things like that. His punishment was never hurtful, just a little embarrassing. One time he was ordered to kneel at the Commander`s feet on the bridge when he was given a command from him and say "Yes Sir, oh mighty Commander," he actually thought that was funny and enjoyed the way his father sputtered his words when he did it. Everyone thought he was playing a joke on his father. Sure Starbuck had teased him about it for the rest of the day, but it did break up some of the boredom, so it was worth it. Another time he was ordered to sing a silly song while he checked out his viper before his patrol. The entire ground crew, and Starbuck, had stopped what they were doing to stare at him when he did that. And of course during the patrol Starbuck kept asking him what in Hades had gotten into him, but he just chuckled and said he had felt like singing that was all. It was just silly stuff he was ordered to do, so he didn`t really mind it at all, besides it was the cyber sex he was after. Now that was the real fun. His online Master would order him to strip and play with himself, telling him how he wanted to tie him up and use him like a whore. Apollo even had some dildos, a cock ring, oil and other toys in his desk drawer, and used them as his online Master ordered, he was getting very good at cumming on command. Maybe one day when he got the nerve Apollo would agree to meet ShiningRogue for some real fun, and find out who the man really was. His thoughts were interrupted by a message on the computer. 'Are you done yet?' the message asked, it was from ShiningRogue. Quickly he typed in 'Yes Master'. 'Good, now get to your quarters and strip as you enter the door, once naked make yourself hard and put on your cock ring, you have five centons in which to do this, then I will contact you again' Apollo quickly turned off the office computer and bolted for the lift. He made it to his quarters just in time, and did as he was instructed. ShiningRogue was contacting him as he sat down. 'Are you there now slave, and have you done as you were told?' 'Yes Master, I did everything you said' 'Good now take your dildo, the small one, oil it up and shove it up your ass.' Apollo quickly obeyed, wishing his Master was in the room with him. The conversation went on for two centares, with Apollo using each of his dildos, ending with the largest one. It was ten inches long and three across, when he first bought the thing on his Masters orders he didn`t think he would ever be able to take it all in, but soon found out differently. As long as he started out with the small one and worked his way up, he could take it in, and he enjoyed it. His cock was aching for release long before he got to this point, and he constantly begged ShiningRogue to let him cum, but he knew that wouldn`t happen yet. Not until he was ordered to use the vibrator, and only after his Master decided just where he was suppose to cum. Finally he was given permission to change the dildo for the vibrator, and told where he could cum. 'Now go to your bed and cum on your pillow, then return to the computer for your punishment, you were a very bad boy today.' Apollo quickly obeyed, removing the cock ring and shooting his seed on the very spot where he would later lay his head to sleep. When he returned to the computer he asked his Master what he had done wrong. 'You were late coming home, those reports could have been done in your quarters.' 'But Tigh wanted them right away.' 'And your friends waited for you in the OC for centares, you never showed up.' 'I was doing the reports, Tigh wanted them right away.' 'He said he wanted them by morning duty shift, that`s not for another six centares.' 'Okay, your right I could have waited I`m sorry.' 'You should have thought about that before, know I must punish you.' 'What do I have to do?' 'Tomorrow when you go to do your pre-flight check on your viper you must kiss Lt. Starbuck on the lips.' 'What? I can`t do that he`ll beat the frack out of me.' 'Are you arguing with me?' 'No, I`m just saying he won`t like that, not Starbuck.' 'Are you sure?' 'Of course I`m sure, Starbuck is strictly het.' 'Never judge a book by it`s cover slave.' 'I`m sorry but Starbuck is my best friend, I don`t want to screw that up.' 'You want him?' 'Excuse me?' 'Answer the question, do you want him?' Apollo stared at the screen, could he answer this question truthfully? He had no choice really, did he? Sighing, his fingers trembling he typed in his answer. 'Yes.' 'Would you like Starbuck to frack you?' Apollo felt like his head was spinning, just how did this guy know these things? 'All right yes, I would love it if Starbuck fracked me.' 'Then kiss him, tomorrow, on the lips, and see what happens.' Apollo sat trembling for a few centons before he typed in the words 'Yes Master, I will kiss Starbuck, tomorrow, on the lips, before we go on patrol.' ***** The next morning Apollo was running late. First Boxey had slept in, in fact Apollo had to physically pull the child out of bed after calling him for the fourth time. Then the bacon and eggs he was cooking for breakfast had burned and had to be thrown out, forcing them to have cold cereal instead. Then to make a bad morning worse, Boxey knocked the coffee pot onto the floor where it smashed into a thousand pieces. So Apollo had that mess to clean up. When he finally did arrive on the launch bay Starbuck was leaning against his viper waiting, his viper`s pre-flight check already completed. "Tsk tsk Captain you are very late, now if that was me you would have had me on report not two microns after I was due." Starbuck teased Apollo. "Sorry Starbuck but this has been the worst morning of my life." Apollo responded out of breath from running, then went on and explained to his wing-mate everything that happened that morning while he checked out his viper. "Oh the joys of parenthood!" Starbuck wailed as he placed the back of his hand on his forehead. "Very funny Lt. now can we get this patrol underway, before we have Tigh down here chewing our asses off." Apollo said sternly, but with a grin. It wasn`t until after they had launched that Apollo remembered he was suppose to kiss Starbuck, on the lips, before they went out on patrol. "Well Apollo your just going to have to do it when we get back, if you don`t forget again." he said to himself. "You say something Apollo?" he heard Starbuck ask over the comm. "Ah, no I was just thinking out loud Starbuck, don`t worry about it." The patrol proved to be a real bore. There had been no sightings of Cylons, which was good, and no sign of any planets where they could find supplies for the fleet, which was bad. As soon as they landed and jumped out of their vipers Apollo rushed over to give Starbuck the kiss he had been ordered to place on those oh so gorgeous lips, but Starbuck was already on his way to the lift. Something Starbuck never did because the one thing he hated about patrols was briefing the Colonel on their findings. "Starbuck what`s the rush?" Apollo asked his friend. "Uh? Oh I just want to get the debriefing over with so I can head to the mess hall, I missed breakfast and now I`m starving." After they gave Colonel Tigh their report, the two warriors headed for the mess hall. Apollo thought for sure he could give Starbuck that kiss in there, and there wouldn`t be many people there to see Starbuck beat the frack out of either, because at this of the day the place was never crowded. That is every day but today. Apollo was surprised to see the place packed, in fact they were lucky they found a place to sit. Luckily Boomer, Jolly, Giles and Greenbean were there and had saved them a seat, but they were at opposite ends of the table. No way for Apollo to kiss Starbuck this way. The Captain was starting to get worried for he knew tomorrows punishment would be even more embarrassing. Then Starbuck was gone, Apollo hadn`t even seen him leave. The only other person at the table was Greenbean. "Greenie, where did every one go?" he asked quickly. "Sagan Apollo were`s your mind today? Boomer and Jolly have patrol, and Starbuck and Giles have to give that lecture to the new cadets, you do remember that don`t you? After all you are the one who makes out the assignments." Apollo let out a heavy sigh, he had indeed forgotten about that lecture. 'Wish I was back in bed so I could start this day over again.' Apollo wailed to himself. Apollo never saw Starbuck for the rest of the day. Tigh had more reports for him to fill out, then it was time for Boxey to come home from learning period, then he had to cook supper for himself and the boy, bathe Boxey, read him a story and tuck him into bed. Athena dropped by to see if he needed a break, and so she watched Boxey while Apollo went to the OC for a much needed drink. but Starbuck wasn`t there, neither were Boomer, Giles, Jolly or Greenbean. Thinking they were all in the Bachelors quarters playing cards, Apollo went there. They were no where to be found, remembering that Starbuck and Boomer both had private quarters now, he decided to check them. But they weren`t in either place. He didn`t have time to go over and check the Rising Star, which was were they five probably were, so he headed back to his own quarters. Head down, feeling miserable and a little lonely. Athena gave him a sympathetic smile as she kissed his cheek and headed for her own place. Apollo sat down at his computer, turned it on and waited. Five centons later ShiningRogue contacted him. They chatted back and forth, with Apollo`s Master once more telling him what to do with his toys. Tonight he not only had to place on his cock ring, but he was also told to insert his penile plug as well. Apollo hated that thing because even after he removed the cock ring, he still couldn`t cum, the plug prevented that as well. The game took three centares tonight, with Apollo being ordered to cum into his coffee cup. "Yuck" Apollo said to his walls "my coffee will taste wonderful in the morning, that is if I had a way to make my coffee in the morning." Placing his coffee cup on the counter, he returned to his computer. "You didn`t do as you were told slave, you didn`t kiss Starbuck, on the lips, before your patrol." Apollo explained to ShiningRogue what had happened that morning, and why he had forgotten what he was suppose to do. He also explained that he tried all day to give Starbuck that kiss, but the opportunity never arose. "You were told to kiss him before the patrol, not after and definitely not in the mess hall, now your punishment will be worse." Apollo gulped wondering what was in store for him. His fingers were trembling so bad he had trouble typing in his question. "Wwhay doi have tod o?" his letters all came out wrong. "LOL tomorrow night, when the duty shift is over you must go to the OC." "I have to find a sitter." "Athena will watch Boxey, don`t worry." Apollo knew that was true, Athena had even offered to do that before she left tonight. "Okay, what must I do?" "You must be the last to arrive." "Easy enough to do, then what?" "Then instead of taking your usual seat, you will sit on Starbuck`s lap." "Your kidding, he will push me onto the floor and ask me what the frack I`m doing." "Don`t talk back to me, and don`t interrupt, I`m not finished yet." "Sorry Master, then what am I to do?" "After you sit on his lap, put your arms around his neck, tell him you think he is the sexiest man alive and give him a great big kiss, on the lips." "WHAT! I couldn`t, not in the OC, in front of all our friends." "Are you arguing with me?" "No, it`s just that well..." "I can think of something else that is even more embarrassing." "No please don`t, I`ll do it, I will." "Good boy, and remember, I WILL BE WATCHING." ***** The next day was awful. All Apollo could think about was what he had do that evening when he went off duty. Never in his whole short career had he had a day when his mind wasn`t on his job. He dropped everything he picked up, he bumped into walls and people because he wasn`t watching where he was going, but worse of all was when he went to the bridge. When he climbed the stairs to the command centre he tripped on the top step and went sprawling, landing in the Commander`s lap. "Apollo what has gotten into you boy?" Adama said as he pushed his son to his feet. "Just a little clumsy today Sir, sorry." "I suggest you get your head out of the clouds and concentrate on what your doing then before I`m forced to send you to see Dr. Salik for a good check up." Adama said most sternly. "That won`t be necessary Sir." Apollo`s face was beet red from embarrassment. "Good, now I have a special assignment for you, Sire Anton`s granddaughter is celebrating her birthday tonight and she would like you to escort her to the party, now don`t start laying down your objections because I already know what they are #1-you do have a sitter for Boxey, I have already asked Athena to do that and she agreed, #2- I know for a fact that you are not on duty, #3-Colonel Tigh has informed me that you are completely caught up on all the reports, so you don`t have any need to work late, # 4- every one is well aware that you are not dating anyone, so I know you don`t have a date to break..." "I had plans with my friends later." "That was #5- I have already asked both Starbuck and Boomer if the three of you had planned anything and they both said no, so don`t try to pull that one either, your going to this party, you will take Sire Anton`s granddaughter, you will dance with her, talk with her and laugh at every joke she tells no matter how bad it is, Sire Anton is a dear friend of mine and a member of the Council, his granddaughter is very important to him and you will see to it that she has a good time, now your dismissed, go and get ready for that party." Adama then turned his chair around, silently telling Apollo that the discussion was over. Apollo stormed off the bridge, wondering how he was going to explain this to ShiningRogue. ***** 'This girl has got to be the most boring person in the entire fleet' Apollo whined to himself 'plus she`s nothing but a sniffling teenager.' Sire Anton`s granddaughter was very beautiful, with long blond hair, and bright blue eyes, but all she did was complain. She didn`t have a good thought for anyone or anything in her head. Apollo had to fight to keep himself from running and screaming for the exit. First the girl had started telling him how she hated going to learning period, because the teachers were all stupid, and didn`t know what they were talking about, and they gave out homework and didn`t they know that learning period was over at a certain time and when it ended it was our time and why should we have to do school work on our time. She then started complaining about the lack of proper clothing that was available, and didn`t the stupid people who made them know that young girls didn`t like wearing the same clothes that their mother`s wore, and the colours were all wrong, and the fabric wasn`t very good and it was almost impossible to find a proper belt. When she started complaining about the food, Apollo had enough. "Were you born complaining or do you practice at it?" "Excuse me, why your very rude you know." The girl huffed. "I`m sorry, I can`t help it, after all I`m just a stupid warrior, I don`t have half the brains you have you know because I thought the teachers were actually teaching you *children* something, and the tailors were making clothes the best they could with the limited materials they had, and I was also under the assumption that there was a food shortage, but as I can see there`s lots to eat here, and it doesn`t taste half that bad, but then what do I know because like I said, I`m just a stupid warrior." Apollo then got up from the table and walked out, he didn`t see Sire Anton`s granddaughter run crying to the old man, or hear the things she told him about that stupid Captain Apollo. ***** Apollo left the shuttle and ran to the OC, he was lucky. Even though he had been stuck with that boring girl, so boring he couldn`t even remember her name, he still had time to carry out his punishment, and he would be the last to arrive. The OC was still open for another two centares. He nearly whooped for joy when he saw the place was still crowded, and that his friends were all sitting at their usual table. Taking a deep breath he quickly walked over, but before he could do what he came to do, Boomer stopped him. "Captain, I thought the Commander had a hot date set up for you?" Boomer chuckled. "He did Boomer but I ditched her, it was the worst date I ever had in my life." "Apollo how mean, I would never ditch a date like that." Starbuck gasped at him. "You would if it was this girl, I don`t think even Reese could spend a whole evening with her." "So you came running back to us did you, better be careful skipper the Commander is going to be out for your blood." Jolly chuckled. "I`ll cross that bridge when I come to it Jolly, besides I have something much more important to take of tonight." "Oh really." Giles said. "And what would that be Captain?" Greenbean asked. Apollo swallowed then said, "This." He all but jumped onto Starbuck`s lap, threw his arms around Starbuck`s neck and said, "Starbuck I think you are the most sexy man alive." and kissed Starbuck, on the lips, exactly as he had been told. It was just a short kiss, just long enough for Apollo to show that he had done it, he hoped that his Master was in the room and saw it. When it ended Starbuck just looked at him, shocked. In fact everyone at the table was shocked, as well as the people sitting at the tables around theirs. Everyone had grown quiet, all eyes starring at Apollo. A very red faced and embarrassed Apollo. "Why Captain, I didn`t you know you cared so much." Starbuck joked as licked his lips. Apollo looked around at the eyes that were staring at him, the room was completely silent. "I`m sorry." he said as quickly got off Starbuck`s lap and bolted for the door. When it shut behind him Boomer and the others at the table started snickering. "I didn`t think he would really do it." Giles said. "Neither did I, that date was suppose to last all night." Greenbean added. "Well he found a way to get it done." Boomer remarked. "Yeah but now we have nothing to punish him for tomorrow." Jolly lamented. "Sure we do, he ran out of here too fast, didn`t give me time to kiss him back," Starbuck grinned. The others all returned Starbuck`s grin, their snickers growing into full blown laughter. ***** After Apollo bolted out of the OC he quickly made his way to his quarters. Hoping and praying that Starbuck wasn`t angry at what he had just done. Sure the Lt. had joked about what he had said, and the kiss, but he could still be angry. "He probably didn`t want to beat the frack out of you in public, but as soon as he gets you alone, look out Apollo." he told himself as his door closed behind him. Boxey was staying over night at Athena`s, because he was suppose to have been out late tonight with that silly girl who`s name Apollo couldn`t even remember, so that meant he could get comfortable right away. Going into his bedroom he quickly stripped out of his clothes and turned on his computer. It was a full two centares before Shining Rogue contacted him, so Apollo knew the man had to have been in the OC. Once again they played the usual online sex games, using every toy in Apollo`s drawer, some of them twice, but this time Apollo was allowed to cum into the bowl of the turbo-flush. Then Shining Rogue congratulated Apollo for doing what he had been told to do. "But you didn`t do it right." "What do you mean I didn`t do it right, I did it exactly like you told me to." "But it still wasn`t right." "All right then what did I do wrong?" "Starbuck was upset." "He was embarrassed that I did that to him in front of everyone." "No, because you ran away." "Before he could beat the frack out of me." "No he wanted to kiss you again." "Really? I don`t think so" "Oh yes he did." "He only would have done it to save me from being more embarrassed, he`s my best friend." "Your *very* sexy best friend." "Well yeah he`s sexy." "Now you`ve disappointed him." "Because I kissed him." "No. I told you already, because you ran away, and now I must punish you for that." "What? Why? I ran because I didn`t want him punching me in the OC, he would have gotten into trouble." "You didn`t wait to find out his real reaction, now you must be punished." "All right, what do I have to do this time?" "In the morning go to the mess hall for breakfast.." "But what about Boxey?" "No way, you can`t use that excuse, Boxey is with Athena for the night and she will be giving him his breakfast and getting him off for learning period." "How do you know that?" "I know everything about you remember." "Wait a centon, you only told me you watch me, not that you knew everything about me." "Believe me, Captain, I know everything." "I know who you are now." "No, you don`t." "Oh, yes I do, there is only one person on this ship who knows everything about me, now today`s punishment makes perfect sense." There was then a three centon wait before Shinning Rogue responded. "Okay, who do you think I am?" "Starbuck." Apollo answered. "Wrong, try again." "I`m not wrong about this, you are Starbuck, even your on line name fits." "What is that suppose to mean?" "Give me a break, Shining, like a star, and Rogue, the perfect description of Starbuck." "I`m telling you the truth, I am *not* Starbuck." "You said you knew everything about me, well Starbuck is the only one who can say that." "So Starbuck knows that you really are in love with him?" "You do now you daggit." "So you told Starbuck about the games we play on line?" "No." "So he doesn`t know *everything* then does he?" "Your trying to trick me and throw me off the track, I know you are Starbuck." Just then someone buzzed Apollo`s door. "Great now some one is at my door." "So tell them to enter and that you will be right with them and we can hurry up and finish." "All right, Starbuck." "I`m not Starbuck." Apollo quickly threw on his robe as he called enter at the door. When the person came in he quickly told them he would be right out in a few centons. "No problem Apollo I can wait." He heard Starbuck answer. On the screen he saw "So who is at your door?" Taking a few deep breaths Apollo typed in "Starbuck." "Told you I wasn`t him." "Okay, I was wrong. I`m sorry." "Now I suggest you don`t try to figure out who I really am again, you won`t succeed." "He`s getting antsy." "Ok, now for your punishment, ready?" "Yes." "Good, now in the morning you are to go to the mess hall for breakfast, then sit on Starbuck`s lap, give him a big kiss and then say, 'thank you Starbuck for that wonderful night, it was the best fuck I ever had.' Got it Captain?" "But we might not even end up in bed with each other!" "So make it happen, now`s your chance." The contact ended, but before Apollo had the chance to go off line he heard Starbuck ask. "Apollo, what are you doing in here, and what`s with all the sex toys?" "Um, well I um...." "*Your on the chat lines, having cyber sex? Oh come on buddy, don`t tell me you really do all that stuff the other person tells you to do, it`s just talk Apollo, you talk about sex and tell the other person what you would like to do them and what you would like them to do to themselves but you don`t really do that stuff, do you?*" "Well ah, no, no I don`t." Apollo`s face was now a very deep red. "You do, Apollo what in Hades are you thinking?" Starbuck was grinning from ear to ear. "Can we please talk about something else?" "Ok, I want to know what you really meant in the OC tonight." Apollo looked Starbuck in the eye as he said, "I meant exactly what I said, that I think your the most sexy man alive." "Really, then I guess you won`t mind if I do this." Apollo suddenly found himself being pulled from the chair and Starbuck`s arms were wrapped around him keeping him from collapsing to floor as his lips were captured in the most passionate kiss he had ever experienced. ***** Apollo didn`t know when it happened, but he was suddenly laying on his back in the middle of his bed, with Starbuck on top of him. His robe was gone, he didn`t remember taking it off, and Starbuck was using his talented mouth and hands to drive Apollo wild. He heard Starbuck`s uniform hit the floor, piece by piece, and when he had taken the last piece off he suddenly removed his mouth from Apollo`s cock and said. "Well now Captain, lets see just what kind of toys you have in your collection." He watched Starbuck rummage around in the drawer and on top of the desk, his cock growing harder with each item Starbuck picked up placed on the bed. When Starbuck was done making his choices he returned and quickly put Apollo`s tightest cock ring in place. "Don`t want you cuming to soon now." he said as he bent down and kissed Apollo`s lips once more, gently nipping the bottom one as he pulled up. Apollo slowly bent and spread his legs as he watched Starbuck lube up the medium sized butt plug and let out a small moan as he felt it slide in. His anal ring was still stretched from the games he had played while online, so the plug slide in easily with no pain. "Looks like you need something a little different in there, lets see what`s this thing does?" Starbuck said as he picked up Apollo`s special vibrator and turned it on. "Whoa, Apollo where did you get this? I`ve heard of these things but I`ve never seen one." "I found it at the Stag Shop on the Rising Star." The vibrator was filled with small beads that vibrated along with the shaft, but that wasn`t the only thing that was different about this vibrator. This one had a little bend just below the head, which rotated 360 degrees and when inserted it drove the user absolutely wild. "How often do you use this?" "Um, well I haven`t really gotten up the courage to try it out yet." "Oh really, well then I guess it`s a good thing I dropped by don`t you think?" Starbuck turned the vibrator off before inserting it, but as soon as it was in far enough to reach Apollo`s sweet spot, he turned it on at low speed. The feeling of that thing vibrating inside him, and the head rubbing against his prostate and then leaving, made Apollo yelp, but not in pain. With a wicked grin Starbuck turned the speed up a notch, and Apollo had to grab the headboard to keep himself from jumping into the air. "Do you want me stop it Apollo?" "NOOOOOOOOOO!" was all Apollo could moan. Seeing that Apollo was really enjoying this, Starbuck turned the speed all the way up. Apollo bucked, his moans just shy of a scream, and he reached for his cock. Quickly Starbuck batted his hand away. "If you do that again I`ll be forced to tie your hands to the bed post." "*Oh God please I need to come now*" "Not yet lover." After a few centons of this Apollo was sure he would explode, but then the vibrator was suddenly removed and Starbuck was inside him. He wrapped his arms around Starbuck`s back, holding him close as his ass was pounded into. Starbuck could feel his own orgasm building up, concentrating to hold it back he quickly reached between their bodies and removed Apollo`s cock ring causing Apollo to come, screaming his name. A few microns later Starbuck came as well, moaning Apollo`s name as he emptied himself deep inside. They collapsed in each other arms, trying to catch their breath and letting the heartbeats return to normal. When Starbuck went limp, he rolled off Apollo and slipped out. gathering Apollo into his arms and kissing again he said, "I have wanted to make love to you for so long, but I never believed it would ever happen." "Are you serious?" Apollo asked in surprise. "About you, yes Apollo I am very serious about you, I don`t want anybody else now that I have you." "Starbuck, what about Cassie?" "Cassie who?" Starbuck asked, as he drifted off to sleep. Apollo smiled at Starbuck`s sleeping form as he pulled the covers over them and snuggled into the warm body laying next to him and closed his eyes, allowing sleep to take him. ***** The next morning, the two made love again, only this time Starbuck didn`t want to use any toys, just himself, and Apollo came with the same intensity as the night before. The two then shared the turbo-wash, where they ended up using all the hot water because they couldn`t keep their hands off each other, and quickly dressed. "You want me to help you make breakfast?" Starbuck asked. "Um, how about instead of cooking we go to the mess hall, since Boxey spent the night with Athena I can take the opportunity to have somebody else to the cooking and cleaning up." Apollo suggested. "Sure if you want." "Besides we can tell our friends that the two of us are now a couple that way, that`s if you don`t mind them knowing." "No Apollo I don`t mind, as long as you don`t mind them knowing." Starbuck grinned. Apollo kissed Starbuck once more as they headed out the door, thinking to himself, 'Wonder if I should let Shinning Rogue know that what I`m about to do does *not* feel like a punishment.' Five centons later the two sat down side by side at the table with Boomer sitting across from Starbuck, who on Apollo`s right, Jolly beside Boomer, across from Apollo. Beside Jolly was Giles, who was sitting across from Greenbean who was sitting on Apollo's left. Boomer was the first to speak up. "And just what do those sappy grins you two are wearing mean?" "What sappy grins, Apollo are we wearing sappy grins?" Starbuck chuckled. "We just might be, maybe it has something to do with last night." Apollo grinned back at Starbuck. "Oh and did you two do last night?" Jolly asked, jokingly. Putting down his glass of juice Apollo said, "Starbuck showed me a wonderful night, and I do believe he`s the best lover I could ever ask for." "Hey, you didn`t do it right." Greenbean said. "Yeah, you were suppose to sit on his lap." Giles added. "And then you were suppose to give him a big kiss." Jolly put in. "Then say 'Thank you Starbuck for that wonderful night, it was the best fuck I ever had'" Boomer finished. "What`s going on?" Starbuck asked, sounding completely surprised. Apollo just sat there looking stunned until finally he said, "It was you four, all of you together, that I was chatting with, you guys are Shining Rogue?" Sheepishly Boomer said, "Yeah well somebody had to do something to get the two of you together, it didn`t look like it was gonna happen on it`s own." Then Greenbean said, "And it worked too, as we can all see." "What`s going on?" Starbuck asked again, this time with a big grin on his face. Apollo looked at Starbuck and asked, "Did you know about this?" Quickly Jolly spoke up. "Starbuck didn`t know anything about it, it was all Boomer`s idea." "That`s true Apollo, I talked these guys into helping me, Starbuck didn`t know what we were doing." Boomer lied. "Can somebody please tell me what`s going on." Starbuck demanded to know. But before Apollo could start to explain it to him Sheba appeared at their table. "Apollo the Commander would like to see you, and he seems to be *very* upset about something." Sheba said, glaring at Apollo and Starbuck. "I`ll talk with you four later, in the duty office." Apollo spat at them as he left to face his father`s wrath, knowing exactly what the older man was upset about. "Need help Apollo?" Starbuck asked after him. "No you stay here so our *friends* can tell you what they did." Apollo yelled back from the door. When Apollo was gone Starbuck said, "Thanks for not giving me away you guys, but I think your in a mess of trouble now." Boomer just grinned as he replied, "Na he`ll get over it once we remind him that what we did got him who he wanted, and we are not about to let him know you had anything to do with it." "If we did that he would get mad at you." Jolly said. "And then your relationship would end." Giled added. "Before it really got started." Greenbean noted. "And not a one of us wants that to happen, so the four of us will take the blame for this, and you and Apollo can get on it with your lives." Boomer smiled at Starbuck. "Together!" his four friends said at once. "Thanks guys, for helping me discover if Apollo really was interested in me, and then helping me snag him in the bedroom, and especially for keeping quiet about my part in it all. A guy couldn`t have a better bunch of friends." ***** Apollo stood at attention in the middle of the room while the Commander reprimanded him for his actions the night before. "The poor girl was tears, claiming you had insulted her, and that you just walked out on your date for no reason at. Do you know how embarrassing that is to me?" "To you? Father can you try to imagine how embarrassing it was for me last night, not only did you set me on a date with a girl who was only 16, she was a whiny girl of 16 who I couldn`t even have a decent conversation with, all she did was complain." "She was *not* 16, she was 21." "She was a child, a very spoiled brat of a child." "Sire Anton assured me that it was her 21st birthday." "Well he lied to you then, she told me herself how old she was, and when we sat down she immediately went into all her complaints, telling me how stupid all the adults in the fleet were." Adama cleared his throat, looking a little embarrassed. "Well it was still no excuse to run out on her like that, the least you could have done was thank Sire Anton for evening and tell the girl the you had a wonderful time." "I think Sire Anton would have seen through the lie, as for the girl I doubt she would have allowed me to get the words out, I was surprised I even had the chance to say what I did and I am not sorry for saying them, the girl needs a wake up call to reality." "All right, I will agree with you that the date should never have happened, and I`m sorry for setting you up like that, I`ll think of something to tell the Sire, now I think we need to discuss another incident that was brought to my attention, something that happened later when you entered the OC last night." Adama looked Apollo in the eye as he said this. "What about it?" "Is it true? Did you really sit on Starbuck`s lap and tell him how sexy he was and then suck on his nose?" "*Suck on his nose*?" Apollo chuckled. "Well that`s what I was told." "I didn`t suck on his nose, I kissed him." "Oh? And did he kiss you back?" Confused Apollo asked, "Just what were you told had happened?" Sitting on desk, smirking, Adama said, "I was told you sat on Starbuck`s lap, told him he was so sexy you thought you would die, and then you sucked on his nose. After that the two of you left the OC while kissing and that you were seen removing each other`s clothing while you got on to the lift." Apollo`s mouth fell open in stunned disbelief. "That`s not what happened, sure I sat on his lap but I didn`t suck on his nose, I kissed him, on the lips and it was a quick kiss, and I didn`t say I could die, I said he was the sexiest man alive." "And is he?" "Well... I think so." Adama started chuckling at this point and had trouble continuing. "S s so wh wh what prompted this amazing revelation of your`s?" "Pardon Sir?" "Why did you do that?" "I felt like it." Apollo squeaked. "You felt like it, okay what about the report of you two removing each other`s clothing in the lift?" "That didn`t happen either, after I kissed him I ran out, before he had the chance to hit me." "Oh, so he ran after you and then there was a confrontation between the two of you while getting on the lift?" "No Sir, he didn`t come after me, he stayed in the OC until closing, he came to my quarters after that." "Oh I see, and then he hit you?" "No we didn`t fight we..." the rest of Apollo`s words were mumbled so badly Adama asked him to repeat himself. "I said we made love in my bed and then went to sleep." "I`ve never seen that shade of red before does it have a name?" Adama chuckled at his son`s embarrassment. ***** After Starbuck and the other`s left the mess hall they parted ways, with Boomer, Jolly, Giles and Greenbean heading to the duty office to wait for Apollo, and Starbuck heading to the Commander`s office to wait outside the door for his new lover to emerge. He wasn`t prepared for the sight of a very embarrassed Apollo, or the sound of the Commander`s laughter that echo`d out of the room as the door opened. "Apollo? Are you okay?" he asked his red faced love. "Starbuck you won`t believe the story that`s going around about what happened last night in the OC." Confused Starbuck asked Apollo what he was talking about and was then told what Adama had heard. "*My nose*?" "Yes, do you like having your nose sucked?" "Don`t know, last night was my first time and I don`t remember it happening, sorry Apollo but your just going to have to do it again." Starbuck grinned as he thrust his nose into Apollo`s face. "Go ahead Apollo suck on his nose, I`ve never seen anyone do that." Adama laughed from the door way. "*I am not sucking on anyone`s nose out here in the corridor*." Apollo fumed as he stomped away. "Cheer up Starbuck, he didn`t say he wouldn`t do it all." Adama said in a sympathetic voice. ***** Apollo slammed the door to the duty office, making the four men waiting for him jump to attention. "*All right just who told my father I sucked on Starbuck`s nose*?" After a few centons, when the four men had stopped laughing, Boomer answered, "Oh I bet that was Sheba, after you left she went 'eww Apollo was sucking Starbuck`s nose', Starbuck told her that wasn`t what you did, but you know Sheba." "That bitch, she`s probably jealous because I didn`t kiss her." "But she`s dating Reese." Greenbean said. "Reese? You sure Greenie?" Jolly asked. "It`s true Jolly, Boomer and I heard it too." Giles said. "We are not here to talk about Sheba`s love life." Apollo snapped. "We are to discuss the little tricks you four have playing on me." "Ah come on Apollo, so we had some fun on the chat lines big deal, your the one who decided to go through with all those punishments we gave you." Boomer spoke up first. "And you know you didn`t really have to do those things skipper." Jolly chuckled. "But it was fun to watch." Greenbean giggled. "Plus we helped you get the guy you wanted, you have to admit that Apollo." Giles reminded him. "And no harm was done, you just embarrassed yourself a few times that`s all, if you didn`t like it then why didn`t you just stop responding to us?" Boomer asked. "I thought you were Starbuck, I was sure you guys were Starbuck, until last night when he showed up at the door." Apollo told them. "We already told you Apollo, Starbuck didn`t know anything about it, in fact he even thanked us in the mess hall after you left." Boomer lied again. Then Apollo remembered something about the chat last night. "Wait a centon, last night when I said I knew who you were it was about three centons before you responded back, and Starbuck didn`t show up at my door for another three centons after that, and I know for a fact Boomer that it takes five centons to get to my door, from either your`s *or* Starbuck`s quarters." "Um, well you see um, well we were switching chairs at the time, and I was giving Giles the chance to type." Boomer replied. "No you were not, you were getting Starbuck out of there so he could come to my quarters." "Worked to." Greenbean said, and Giles kicked him in the shin. "So I was right, and this was Starbuck`s idea." "He needed to find out how you really felt about him, but he was afraid to come out and ask you face to face, this way he could find out if you felt the same way about him that he did about you." "And if I didn`t, then what?" "Then I would have known for sure and last night wouldn`t have happened, but at least you would still be my best friend." Starbuck said from door. Turing around to face Starbuck and seeing the tears shinning in his eyes, Apollo said, "Well the tricks you made me do were sort of fun, and like these guys said I didn`t have to do all those things, it was my choice, and you guys were only making me say the truth with the last two punishments." "But you didn`t say the last one right." Starbuck grinned. "How do you know, you were in my living room at the time?" Apollo grinned back. "Oh well you see, I told them what to say to you before I ran out the door." "Well then in that case I guess you guys are going to have to think of another punishment for me." Apollo`s grin changed into a smirk. "How about you have to buy me dinner tonight on the Rising Star and after that we go back to your place and you can use that special vibrator of your`s on me this time." Starbuck responded seductively. "*Special vibrator*?" The other four men chimed together. Apollo laughed as he pulled Starbuck into his arms and kissed him. Turning to the other four he just said, "Use your imaginations guys, or check out the Stag Shop, oh and by the way, I won`t be available for the chat line tonight I have a prior commitment with sexiest man alive who gave me the best fuck of my life." "Still not said right but we`ll overlook it, *this time*." Boomer chuckled as he and other three warriors left Starbuck and Apollo alone in each other`s arms. "I love you Apollo." "I love you too, always have, always will, but don`t you ever play a trick like that on me again." "Don`t have to now that I got you, and I`m not letting you go." "Won`t that make it hard to fly our vipers?" The two lovers laughed and kissed again, as they left the office for their patrol Apollo suddenly asked, "Hey, how come I have to pay for dinner tonight?" "Wouldn`t be a punishment if I paid." Starbuck called as he trotted to the launch bay. Apollo just smiled as he shook his head, this was going to be a very interesting, and expensive, relationship. But, it was going to be worth it. End
