HER LAST WISH Date: Feb 2001 Fandom: Battlestar Galactica Rating: NC-17 Category: Slash Pairing: Starbuck/Apollo Disclaimer: I don't own them. Distribution: Please let me know where. Summary: An Apollo/Starbuck first time story. Part 1 "Apollo, don't force me to order you!" Exclaimed Commander Adama. "Starbuck, you and I are going over to the Rising Star for dinner. Athena has volunteered to watch Boxey, and I am not taking no for an answer. Is That Understood?" "Yes Commander! I understand. When do we leave?" Replied Captain Apollo. It wasn't worth the trouble to fight with his father and commanding officer. "Starbuck just came in off patrol. He'll need a little time to freshen up, be in the shuttle bay in 45 centon." "Alright, I'll see you there." Apollo closed the circuit and signed. His father was becoming unbearable. Ever since he had lost his wife to that Cylon attack Apollo just wanted to be left alone. Serena's death has plunged Apollo into a deep abyss of depression. He and Serena had just been sealed; they hadn't even begun their life together when the Cylon attacked. Apollo was trying to get them on board a shuttle when her life was snuffed out. Just then the door chimes rang. Apollo heard his adopted son, Boxey run through the living area of their quarters and open the door. "Aunt Athena!" He exclaimed. "Hello Boxey how is my favorite nephew?" "Aunt Athena, I'm your only nephew. And I'm ok are you here to see my dad?" "No actually, I'm here to stay with you a while. Apollo is going with your Grandfather and Starbuck over to the Rising Star." Athena explained to the little boy. Apollo turned and entered the room, "Athena, it's good to see you." "Well, if you'd ever leave these quarters for something besides to go on patrol perhaps we'd see each other more often, my dear brother." Athena replied. *Poor Apollo, he's still taking Serena's death so hard. I wish things had been different. But he has to snap out of this. * "Athena, I'm a father now." Apollo started and was cutoff by Boxy. "Oh no! Don't use me as your excuse Dad. I'm so tired of being in these quarters all the time. We never go anywhere or do anything." Boxey protested. "Ratted out by the kid!" Athena said laughing. "Hey! I thought you were supposed to be on my side Boxey!" "Sorry Dad." "Apollo, you'd better get ready, it's almost time for you to go, that is if you're going to be on time." "What choice do I have? Dad threatened to make it a direct order if I refused." Apollo replied, "There are times when it really bites to have your commanding officer and your father to be the same person." "You're not telling me anything new Apollo. Just remember, I work with him on the bridge all day long." Athena said with a sigh. Apollo turned and entered his sleeping chamber. He really needed a shower he began removing his uniform and entered the turbo wash. Taking a standard military shower, lathering up and rinsing off. Then he exited the cubicle and looked at his chronometer, still 25 centons until he needed to be at the shuttle bay. Apollo began pulling on his clean uniform. Suddenly he was encompassed in a brilliant white light. The blinding light began to subside and someone was calling his name it was a familiar voice. No two familiar voices the first was Serena the other was his mother. Apollo opened his eyes to see two white glowing figures standing over him. "Apollo! Are you alright?" Serena asked looking worried. "AM I DDDEAD?" a stunned Apollo stammered. "No, my son your time has not yet come. We are here to speak with you." "Mother! Why have you a Serena come? Is the Fleet in danger, or father?" "Apollo, we are here because of you," said Serena her long brown hair flowering around her shoulders. "We have seen how you still mourn. My love it is time, and there is another who you love and who loves you." "Serena, there is no one but you that I love!" Apollo exclaimed, "How can you say a thing like that?" "My son, Apollo, there is another, a person who looks at you with the same glow of love in their eyes that I have for your father, and that Serena still has for you." "But Serena and I are sealed for all eternity. It is a moot point, I am not free to pursue another even if I wanted to." Apollo interjected. "Silence! Apollo, I was in life and still in death am a priestess of the Lords of Cobol! There are indeed circumstances in the annals of our histories where another mate was taken after the death of the first. Serena's first husband died and yet she married you." "I only want Serena!" "Apollo, my love look into your heart and see the person that we are speaking of. I know that you can, you are afraid, but it's alright." Apollo shut his eyes tears ripping at the lids. NO! It's not right! He thought. Just as quickly the thoughts were removed from his mind. *My son, it's all right. Love is the emotion given to humans by the gods. All true love is pure. And how can pure love be wrong? Look inside and see him and I'll bring him here.* "Apollo, I'll still be waiting when your time comes, I told you when we thought that he was lost in the abyss that I loved him too. Now when you both join me we will be a loving triad" Serena was holding his face just inches from hers, and reached out her lips to gently kiss his lips. The next instant there was a blinding flash, and there stood Starbuck and Adama. "I decided that we also need to clear the air with your father Apollo." Stated Lila with a smile. "Lila!" Adama, stammered and the tears began to flow. "My Love." "Adama, listen to me, there is little time and I need you to understand, you will have to give our son the support that he needs." Lila reached out and took Adama by the hand his eyes widened. Adama's face softened and he smiled. "I will give our son anything that he needs, my love has never been conditional." "No, just slow, Adama, just slow. Especially when Apollo is concerned." "Ah, excuse me but could someone tell me why I've been included in this little reunion." Starbuck looked totally in shock, eyes wide mouth agape with the fumarilla still smoldering in the corner. "Starbuck, you know why you are here." Serena started then took him by the hand. The contact allowed her to share experiences, feelings, and thoughts with Starbuck. "Oh, No!" was all that Starbuck could say. "Starbuck, is that all you can say to me?" Asked Apollo looking at his oldest friend, a friendship that was imposed to cover his deeper feelings. Now he allowed his feelings to show. As he looked at Starbuck a golden glow emanated from Apollo's eyes and surrounded Starbuck in a halo of energy. "Ah what's going on?" "Starbuck, you've never seen true love in the eyes of one who loves you before? What you are seeing in the energy field is what in the living world you would normally feel in your heart." "I only have one true love, and until now I thought that my love would be forever unrequited." Starbuck whispered. Then he raised his eyes to Apollo, there was the same look and suddenly Apollo was bathed in a golden energy field. "Adama, stand to Apollo's right," instructed Lila, Serna moved to Starbucks left and stood there. "In the presence of the Lords of Light, I their priestess witness the love of this triad and hereby seal them together as one for all eternity!" Lila's voice began as a whisper and ended as a shout. Then out of nowhere three golden cords appeared. Lila moved to her son and Starbuck where they were holding hands, she quickly bound their wrists together; next she bound Starbuck and Serena, and finally Serena and Apollo. "You are hereby sealed for all the eternities!" There was a thunderclap and the golden cords were gone. Starbuck kissed Serena, gently, then Apollo. "Serena, I'll take care of him. I promise you with all my heart." "You do that my love and remember I'll be watching." Serena then moved to Apollo and kissed him, a deep longing kiss. "Apollo, take care of Starbuck, love each other and be a family to Boxey." "We will." The tears hadn't stopped falling from Apollo's eyes but a smile flashed on his face. "Adama, we must go now." Lila said, giving he husband a kiss and holding his face in her hands. "Now you leave our Sons alone tonight. No dinner on the Rising Star unless they want it. Understood." "Understood, my wife." Adama whispered quietly. Starbuck was certain that only that magnificent creature that was Adama's wife could ever get away with ordering around the Commander of the Galactica. Then there was a blinding light. Apollo can to his senses in his sleeping chamber, with Starbuck in his arms. "Well I guess that we have a life to begin together." "I believe so," said a grinning Starbuck, "but I'll bet your father will." Starbuck was interrupted as the door to the sleeping chamber slid aside. Adama stood there out of breath. Athena was there looking concerned, as was Boxey. "Athena, give father a minute to catch his breath." They would have to come up with an explanation to tell his sister or else confide in her with the truth. "Aunt Athena, I think the angels have finally appeared to them." Boxey said. "Boxey, what are you talking about?" Started Athena. "Boxey, you know about the angels? For how long?" Asked Starbuck. "Since mother died, she came to me that night and told me that in about a year I would probably have two dads. I was so excited when she told me that you and dad would be my parents, but I was sad too." "Boxey," Starbuck knelt to be at eye level with the child. "You've 2 dads and a mother, all who love you very much. No one can ever take your mother's place nor will anyone ever try to." "I love you Daddy Starbuck!" Boxey ran into his arms hugging the blonde man crying. Athena stood there her mouth hanging open. "Athena, we have to have a talk," said Adama, and he led her into the living chamber. "Boxey, could you come and help me." Boxey all smiles left his two fathers, and went to stand beside his grandfather. The last thing Apollo saw was his smile as the door to the sleeping chamber slid shut. "Come here you," Apollo said and pulled Starbuck to him. His arms encircled the blonde man holding him in an embrace that felt so natural. "Apollo," "Shhhh. Don't talk," whispered Apollo. He brought his lips to meet with Starbuck's. The kiss was warm and sweet and full of promise. Starbuck's lips parted offering Apollo's tongue the refuge within. Apollo sent his tongue into his lover's mouth like his viper streaking from the launch tube. The effect left Starbuck breathless. For a long time they just stood there holding each other. Looking into each other's eyes. The love glow was still evident to them each felt encircled in the protective loving of the other. Finally, there was a knock at the chamber door. They separated, and Apollo opened the door. It was Adama, "Boys, please come out here with us there is much to discuss." Apollo and Starbuck followed Adama to the living chambers, and were seated. Then Athena threw herself into their arms. "Apollo, I love you my brother, father just told me about the celestial sealing, I'm so happy." "Then she turned to Starbuck and kissed him chastely on the cheek, a little stunned but happy. Starbuck, you've been a lot of things to me but forgive me if it takes a bit to get use to thinking of you as a brother-in-law." "Apollo, Starbuck you both know that I'm under orders from your mother not to push about the dinner on the Rising Star-" "Well, Ah Father," Starbuck, said with a glint in his eye, "I feel like this is an occasion that needs a small, family celebration. What do you think, Apollo?" "I agree. Then Boxey will come back and stay with Grandfather, and aunt Athena for a week. We both have leave coming and I for one will have a honeymoon this time." "Agreed, I will handle the arrangements, my gift to you both. Also I want to perform a small intimate sealing ceremony here on this plane of existence. I know it won't be as spectacular as your mother's but it will make it legal." Adama finished rising to his feet. "Athena please come with me there are some quick preparations to make." "Father, I don't know about this," Apollo turned to face his father and found that he was speaking to empty air. "Oh, boy." Grinned Starbuck. "Get use to it my love. He's your father now as well." Apollo said smiling and leaned in to plant a quick kiss on Starbuck's mouth. "Father, what do I call both of you? I mean I could call both of you dad but that will get confusing." Boxey asked looking quizzical. "Boxey, what do you think you should call us?" Starbuck asked the child, looking him directly in the eye. "Well, You're both my parents, but honestly Starbuck, I can't even think about calling you mother with a straight face." Boxey finished the sentence doubled over in a paroxysm of laughter. "Thank all the gods for that small mercy." Laughed Starbuck picking up his new son. When Boxey finished laughing he was again looking serious, "ok I'll still call Apollo father and I'll call you Dad." "That sounds like a plan to me, what about you Starbuck?" "Dad?? Are you sure Boxey, I mean it won't hurt me if you call me Starbuck." "No, Dad I don't want to call you by your name, you're my dad now." Starbuck was in shock in the space of a few centons his unrequited love was discovered, and was welcomed and returned, he'd been sealed, and now it just hit him like a ton of bricks, he was a father. "Oh, frack, I think I'm going to be sick." Starbuck said turning a bit green. "Easy love, I know what you're going through, remember I married Serina and became a father at the same time. Come on Bucko, it's going to be wonderful!" Apollo beamed at Starbuck, then turned to Boxey, "Son, your dad isn't feeling too well at the moment let's give him a few minutes." "Father, you and dad both need a few minutes I think. I'll be in my room." Boxey smiling big enough to split his face turned and left the chamber. They sat there together holding each other, losing all track of time just staring into each other's eyes. All too soon there was a chime at the door. Starbuck pulled away from Apollo. "I bet it's your father." "Our Father Starbuck." Apollo corrected. "Oh boy. Give me a little time love." And Starbuck depressed the button to open the door. Athena was standing in the hall clad in a beautiful gown. "Father sent me to get the three of you. But I suggest that you both change into something a little more dressy." "Like what? Dress Uniforms?" Apollo asked with a smirk. "Exactly, Starbuck here is yours. Both of you get dressed and be quick." The two men entered the sleeping chamber closing the door and began to undress. Apollo looked over at Starbuck and was surprised to see that the blonde man wasn't wearing underwear. "Good God! Starbuck you really grew up!" "Cute Apollo, really cute." Starbuck muttered blushing. "Ah, one question, I've ah never been with man before." It was Apollo's turn to blush. "Never? Oh man is this gonna be fun." Starbuck gave his best rascal's smirk. "Starbuck!" "Just kidding love, we'll go slow." "Not too slow I hope." Said Apollo. "No just slow enough for you to enjoy it." Said Starbuck, "Come on your I mean father is waiting." "Just a centon I've still got to get my boots on." "I hope you can get out of your clothes faster than you can get in them." Apollo jammed his feet in his boots and then grabbed Starbuck, kissing him deeply; while the blonde man was preoccupied Apollo's hand reached out and cupped his crotch. The already large member immediately grew hard. "Well Lt. Starbuck are you packing a laser in there or are you just happy to see me?" Apollo asked grinning. "I'll take care of you later right now we're got people waiting Love." They exited the sleeping chamber and were met by Athena and Boxey. "Starbuck, could you please put that away?" Athena said leaning close to whisper in his ear. "Cute Athena, really cute." Athena turned and led the trio to the lift. Once they entered it immediately sped on its way. And opened on the hallway leading to the same chapel where Apollo and Serena had been sealed. "You two wait out here until I come for you." Ordered Athena. "Boxey you come with me." "All this pomp for a little ceremony?" Apollo looked at Starbuck quizzically. "Love I'm completely in the dark, I was with you remember?" Just then the door opened and Boomer stepped out grabbing Apollo's arm followed by Col Tigh who took Starbuck's. "I hope you gentlemen are ready because there's no turning back now." Commented Tigh. And with that Tigh and Boomer led their charges through the double doors and into the chapel. Apollo was stunned the entire squadron was there, smiles on their faces. Cassie stood beside Athena and both of the women were smiling tears in their eyes. Apollo and Starbuck were led to the altar where Adama stood in ceremonial robes. "Ladies and Gentlemen today we are here to seal this couple. A match that it seems was made on earth and approved by the heavens." Everyone clapped, smiles everywhere. Adama took Apollo's arm and bound it to Starbuck's using his symbol of office, a long chain bearing the star medallion. "Apollo and Starbuck, today I bind you as a symbol to all in attendance of this ceremony." Just then there was a flash of light. "What now?" Asked Starbuck. Beside the couple stood Apollo's younger brother, Zac. They young man was clad in a colonial warrior dress uniform, made entirely of white material. "Forgive me for interrupting, I wasn't able to attend the earlier ceremony. I couldn't be spared from guarding the fleet. Now Serena is standing watch so I'd like to be a witness to the earthly sealing." Adama was smiled, "I had hoped we would see you as well my son." Apollo reached out with his free arm to hug the young man, as did Starbuck. "Apollo, Starbuck, " both of the men again faced Adama. "I now pronounce you sealed for all the eternities." Apollo moved closer to Starbuck and kissed him briefly. The entire squadron applauded. Starbuck turned to the angelic visitor, "Zac, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry. I wish I had gone on that patrol instead of letting you." "Starbuck, I was meant to go. I've never blamed you. I've always loved you as a brother, and now you are." Zac reached out and the two men clasped wrists. "Apollo, I have to go. Just know that this fleet is in the care of Serna and myself. We will stand guard. Just know that this mission will be successful. It will not be easy, the lords know that you've already seen your share of loss, but you've also been lucky enough to find your soul mate. Take care of yourselves my brothers." "Take care of yourself and Serena, little brother." Apollo said with tears running down his face. "Of course I will, and never forget, we're watching over you." With that Zac disappeared. Adama stepped closer to the two men "Well, it's been an remarkable day. I wonder if we'll see them again before this exodus is over." "I wouldn't be surprised father, " said Starbuck. "That is going to take some getting use to Starbuck, still you've always been like a son to me ever since the day Apollo brought you home with him from the academy. Now it's just legal. Well, let's go we've got a reception to make a brief appearance at then you two have a honeymoon to get to." Adama led the way to a banquet hall. The tables were laden with ambrosia, assorted nibbles and mushies. "I'm sorry we didn't have time to get a real cake. This was a bit rushed-" Adama apologized. "I'll say what twenty centons and boom you've got a sealing ceremony!" Apollo said laughing, "Father, were you in a hurry to get rid of me?" "Apollo, don't be silly. I just wanted to give you a chance to make a public declaration of the love I saw before going away. Plus your absence will be a lot easier to explain." "Ah, Father, just what did you tell the squad?" Asked Starbuck. "I told them everything, some didn't really believe it, but I think your brother's unexpected appearance put any doubts aside. Now you two go, mingle with your friends, you've 30 centons and then it'll be time to go." "Gee even at my on reception, I'm still on a schedule. Come on Apollo, I'm not facing the guys alone." And with that Starbuck took his husband by the hand and led him off. "Look fellas, here's Starbuck, and he's dragging the old ball and chain behind him!" "Cute Jolly, real cute." "I'm just kidding Starbuck, ah Captain congratulations to you both." Jolly leaned in to talk privately to his Captain, "sir it's about time you two came to terms with this. I'm happy for you both, I believe you'll be good for each other." "Thank you, Jolly." Apollo said smiling at the big man. The couple quickly made their rounds at the party. Then stopped to take the ceremonial bite of cake and sip of ambrosia. As soon as that was done Adama was herding them out of the hall and towards the shuttle bay. "Boys, I know that this is going too quickly, but..." "No father, really, I enjoyed the reception but I'm more than ready to leave." Said Apollo squeezing his husband's hand. "Ok, I've booked the honeymoon suite tonight on the Rising Star, tomorrow there will be an open cabin in the resort ship. And ah, I thought that you might need this. I won't embarrass myself any further, please open it after you're underway." "Certainly, father, and thank you for everything." "Apollo, I just hope you and Starbuck are as happy as your mother and I were." Then Adama stepped up and hugged both of the men, smiled and stepped back. "You'd better get going. I trust that one of you can pilot the shuttle?" "Father, I take personal offense to that," said Starbuck with a laugh, "Just kidding of course. We'll see you in a week." "Actually, nine days. It's not much but I hope that it'll give you a little more time together before both of you have to buckle down to fatherhood." "Thanks again, Dad." Said Apollo and hugged his father. Then he and Starbuck stepped into the shuttle and were underway. The trip to the Rising Star only took a few minutes. The newly weds didn't speak, they we enjoying each other's presence. Finally Apollo broke the silence. "So what's in the package that father gave us?" "Well, there's only one way to find out." Replied Starbuck ripping into the present, opening the box and looking inside. His mouth dropped open and he looked at Apollo in disbelief, for the first time since Apollo had met Starbuck, the blonde man was speechless. "Starbuck, the look on your face is hilarious!" Apollo was trying his best to stifle a laugh. "Come on what is it. It can't be that strange." "Oh yes it can Love, let's see lube, lime flavored oil rub, numbing cream, wrist restraints and oh frack, an instruction vid." "You're kidding!" Apollo was stunned. "What in the world? An instruction vid, what do we need an instruction vid for?" "Well love, we'll just see how quickly you can learn." Starbuck laughed and reached over to grope Apollo's crotch. "Gee, did I do that?" Starbuck said grinning at his new mate, feeling the growing cock under the dress uniform. "Keep it up Starbuck." "Oh man, I fully intend to. I fully intend to." Starbuck said then pulled Apollo's face to him and kissed him passionately. The docking of the shuttle was completed with no problems. The newlyweds grabbed their baggage and disembarked the shuttle. "Come on let's get checked in." "Are we a little inpatient?" Asked Starbuck. "No we're a whole lot horney!" Answered Apollo. The couple approached the front desk kiosk. The clerk smiled at them and said, "Good evening Lt. Starbuck and Capt Apollo. Do you have a reservation?" "Yes, " answered Apollo, "it should have been made by Commander Adama." "Yes, here it is, you're booked in the," the clerk's eyes widened, "ah, honey-moon suite." "That's right," replied Starbuck, he was calm cool and collected. "We've just left our sealing ceremony." "Well congratulations! I hope your stay with us is enjoyable, and please accept the Rising Star's wish for a long and happy life together." The desk clerk was again smiling and Starbuck could tell it was a sincere statement. "Thanks, where is the room?" "Just go to the lift and let scan the key. You're suite is located on it's own private floor." The couple turned and walked to the lift. The doors opened and Starbuck held out the key. Immediately the turbo lift began its ascent. The entire trip took less than 20 microcentons. The doors opened right in the middle of a palatial suite of rooms. Both of the men were impressed. "By the lords! This is wonderful, can you imagine what the how many cubits this place must cost a night." There was a table holding a bottle with a note. Apollo opened the note, it's from Father, it says, "Congratulations to my two sons, enjoy tonight you will receive you're a communiqué from the resort in the morning. Oh, and Starbuck don't worry about the price. It's signed, your father, Adama. "I think that dear old dad knows me too well." "Don't talk about father." Apollo said, dropping the note and turning to his new husband. He suddenly launched himself at Starbuck, attacking the blonde with his lips. They ended up on a sofa. Passionate kisses were exchanged, tongues probing mouths, hands groping, bodies rubbing together. "Apollo, first a shower. Then we'll pick up right where we've left off." Starbuck grabbed Apollo's hand and led him off to the master-sleeping chamber. Just off to the left was the entryway to the bathing chamber. Starbuck was off like a shot, practically running into the room. "Hey! There's no turbo wash in here!" "You've got to be kidding." Apollo said striding into the room. As the captain looked around he found that indeed there was no turbo wash contained in the room. Instead there was a huge sunken tub in the center of the floor. "Talk about a luxury, I'll run us a bath. Meanwhile you get out of the dress blues and into a bathrobe. There's one over there while you're waiting why don't you put on that vid." Apollo left the room, grabbing one of the robes on the way out. He made his way out to the living chamber and dropped the vid into the slot. Immediately the screen began to play the presentation. Apollo fast-forwarded to the good parts, as he struggled out of his clothes. "Well, that's enough of that." He left the living chamber and walked back into the refresher chamber. What greeted him looked absolutely delicious. Starbuck was stripped and in the tub full of bubbles, he was totally relaxed leaning back against the tub wall. The finishing touch was the smoldering fumarilla held in the corner of his mouth. Apollo silently let the robe drop and stepped into the tub. Starbuck looked up at him and smiled. "Come on in the water's great!" Apollo smiled and eased his long body into the water, nestling against his husband. They sat there holding each other, caressing each other. Starbuck leaned into Apollo, claiming his mouth in an electrified kiss. Tongues battled, probing caressing the deepest recesses of mouths. Hands began to roam over bodies, caressing, massaging taut muscles, and gliding over smooth skin. Apollo broke the kiss, "Starbuck, I need you." His voice was a deep and husky. Starbuck took a deep breath and slid under the water. His body came to rest between Apollo's muscled thighs. He lifted the large hard cock to his mouth and took it in. Apollo groaned his eyes shut tightly. He'd never felt anything like it, the combination of the hot water surrounding his body and the hot wet mouth applying vacuum to his throbbing cock. Starbuck broke the surface of the water, gasping. "Sorry Love, I need to breath." Apollo grabbed his lover pulling him close to invade his mouth. As they kissed, Apollo maneuvered them out of the tub and into the drying stall. Hot air bombarded their bodies, drying the water in a matter of millicentons. While this was happening the kiss continued, hands groped and nipples were sucked and nibbled. Starbuck broke the contact and led Apollo into the sleeping chamber. He pushed his loved down on the bed, placing pillows under his head. Starbuck again took his lovers cock deep into his mouth. Slowly he worked his way down the length of it until his nose was buried in Apollo's dark pubic hair. "By the gods! Starbuck no woman has ever taken it all in!" Exclaimed Apollo. At that same instant Starbuck began to purr deep in his throat, and Apollo threw his head back, his eyes crossing with the deep intensity of the sensation. On and on Starbuck, worked this magic, driving Apollo right to the brink, and then skillfully pulling him back. The third time Apollo groaned. "Starbuck, I need to, Please let me come!" Starbuck tightened his throat muscles, and began a rapid rhythm. Apollo began to buck his hips, as he began to moan and thrash Starbuck quickly inserted a slick finger into the most secret part of Apollo. Apollo's eyes snapped open and he drew in a deep breath. Starbuck held his finger still and continued his ministrations. Soon Apollo was over the shock of the intrusion and began again to feel the stirring in his loins. As he began to thrash, Starbuck began to thrust his finger deeper into Apollo's ass. He made contact with the tiny gland deep within. Lights exploded behind Apollo's eyelids! He screamed the semen jetted out of his cock! His legs began to tremble violently; his entire body was wracked with the muscle tremors, so pleasurable that it almost hurt. "Oh Starbuck!" Apollo screamed out his lover's name. Slowly the waves of pleasure slowed and began to ebb. Apollo's breathing settled down into a normal pattern. He held Starbuck tightly. Tears flowing freely down his eyes. "I love you Starbuck." "I know. I believe it's possible that the entire ship may know." Starbuck said with a rascal's grin. "And I love you too Apollo." With that Starbuck claimed his lover's mouth again. Apollo then slid down his lover's body until he reached his target. The long hard organ was right before him. He gently grasped it and beginning at the bottom licked it slowly up to the purplish tip. "Ah gods!" Moaned Starbuck. "That feels so good." Apollo then reached out and took Starbucks balls in his hands, fondling them gently. Then slowly licking them and finally sucking them one by one into his hot wet mouth. Running his tongue over them once they were safely inside. "Oh, Apollo! So good." Groaned Starbuck, "don't stop!" Apollo didn't stop if anything his husband's words spurred him on to further action. He applied more pressure to his tongue and sucked just a little harder. Starbuck almost lived up to his name, bucking so hard that it took every bit of strength Apollo had not to let go. "Apollo! Please! I need to!!" Apollo released the slightly abused balls and sucked Starbuck's massive cock into his mouth, he couldn't get in much more than the head without gagging, but it was enough. Starbuck cried out his name again and again, like a mantra, his face twisted into a mask of ecstasy. Starbucks, balls contracted and Apollo felt the rush of the semen through the tissues of his lover's penis. He swallowed as much as possible but lost much of the liquid when he had to pull off to keep from choking. Starbuck grabbed his lover pulling him close kissing him. Apollo parted his lips and Starbuck's tongue dove within to share this new ambrosia with his husband. Both of them, fully sated, drifted off in a most peaceful sleep. ***** The next morning the couple was awoke early in the sectarie by the in room COM phone. Apollo stood up and walked over to the wall unit. Rubbing his eyes and yawning he struggled to find the correct touch panel and activated the unit. "Good morning, this is you automated wake up service. It is 1 sentar until check out time. If you need anything else please notify a member of the staff. " Starbuck groaned from the bed. "Do you think we could just stay here?" "No love, father has made arrangements on the resort ship. So rise and shine!" Apollo walked over and jerked the covers off the bed leaving Starbuck completely bare. "Hey! Give me those back!" "You want to be covered?" Asked Apollo. "Yeah!" "Ok," replied Apollo and he covered Starbuck's muscled body most efficiently, with his own. ***** Part 2 Later that day Starbuck and Apollo docked their shuttle onboard the resort ship, Harvest Moon. An attendant, who greeted them warmly, met them at the landing bay. "Good Day Captain Apollo, and Lt Starbuck. I hope you've had a pleasant trip over from the Rising Star." "Yes, it was, ok, "replied Apollo. "If you'll follow me gentlemen, your baggage will be delivered to your suite." The attendant motioned them forward, and followed them, as they walked he gave them a quick tour of the resort, pointing out the gym, pool, saunas, as well as dining rooms, game rooms and the bars. "Well, I believe I know where I'll find you." Apollo said with a wide smile. "Oh no! I'm going to be too busy to bother with pyramid, and the only ambrosia I'm planning on drinking, I can only get from one source." "And what exactly is that source?" Asked Apollo. "When we get to the privacy of our rooms I'll show you." Starbuck said with his best rascal's smile. Apollo turned blood red from his ears all the way down his neck. "Love, does that color go all the way down?" Starbuck asked. "How sexy, I'll have to check later." Their guide had moved ahead out of earshot as the lover's remarks began. He turned and waited on the couple. As they approached the attendant said, "Here we are, if you'll just both stand and let the optical scanner register you to the suite." With that the man entered a code key and the computer began the process which only took a couple of microns. "There we are. All done. Gentlemen I hope that you enjoy your stay here at our resort and I wish you both a long and happy life together." "Ah, Thanks." Replied Starbuck, as be reached into his pocket for a couple of cubits as a tip. "No need sir, everything has been covered including tips. If you please," he stepped aside allowing the door to scan Starbuck's retinas. As the scan was completed the door slid open revealing a richly appointed apartment. The attendant led them through the suite pointing out everything from the living chamber to the bathing room. As they entered the sleeping chamber the attendant excused himself and left the apartment. Starbuck turned and locked his lips over Apollo's in a deep passionate kiss. As they broke the embrace Apollo exclaimed, "I've needed that since we first landed on this tub." "We've only started love! Now I need that drink of ambrosia!" Starbuck knelt and placed his mouth on Apollo's crotch, kneading the material of Apollo's trousers with his agile mouth. "Ohhhhh!" Exclaimed Apollo as his husband breathed warm moist air into his crotch, bathing his manhood in the richness of it. Slowly Starbuck slid the closure down and released the snap, exposing the target of his ministrations. Slowly taking the throbbing cock into his mouth and down his throat. He began slowly, coating his lover's manhood with saliva. "Ahh...Starbuck!" Apollo moaned as the blonde man pulled off and blew cool air over and around his lover's throbbing cock. Apollo raked his fingers through the long blonde hair, not forcing his lover just allowing his hands to ride the movement of Starbuck's head. Without warning Starbuck leaned forward taking all of Apollo in. As Starbuck's nose began to be tickled by the dark hair above Apollo's penis he began a deep purring. The sensation was too good pushing Apollo over the edge. "OH GODS! BUCKO! Ahhhhhhhh!" Apollo was screaming at the top of his lungs, the orgasm was one of if not the most intense of his life. Apollo has to lock his knees and lean on Starbuck for support. It was either that or he would topple into the floor. His legs were wracked by tremors, and his breathing was labored. Slowly the waves of pleasure began to subside. "That was just what I needed. A long draft of the sweetest ambrosia that I have ever found." Starbuck said with a devilish grin on his face. He began leading his lover into the sleeping chamber, but he wasn't going to let Apollo sleep for a long time. "Starbuck, I want you!" "Well Love, you're in luck because you've got me." "No, Bucko, I want you in me. I want you to make love to me...." "Apollo, we need to take it slow on that. I will not hurt you! You mean everything to me and there is plenty of time for that." Starbuck was ready to wait for that. "Starbuck, we're both warriors, I don't want to wait, and with things like they are there might not be a tomorrow. We never know for sure that this isn't our last night together." Tears began falling down Apollo's face. "I couldn't bear it if we never...." "Hush love...hush. I'm not going anywhere." Starbuck's heart almost broke at the sight of Apollo's tears. He wrapped his arms tightly around his man, holding him stroking the back of his head. Comforting him, trying through tactile contact to reassure him that there was nothing to fear. Slowly Apollo was able to compose himself. He wiped the tears away and smiled up at his husband. "I'm sorry Starbuck, it's just that, " he broke off unsure if the tears were really gone. "Apollo, what's wrong please talk to me." "It's just that Serina and I had a conversation so close to that one the night we were sealed. In the middle of our ceremony the star was first seen that led us to the planet Kobol. We barely had a centar before we landed on the planet. I was ready to tell Father no, but Serina told me `Apollo we have the rest of our lives and this is a chance to see where our ancestors migrated from.'" "So you and Serina never had a wedding night. Apollo, I'm sorry Love, I didn't know." "How could you know Starbuck? You were a prisoner on the Base Star at the time that it all happened." "And you never told me, why?" "Starbuck, it just never seemed like something I should talk about. I felt I had to deal with it all myself." "Love I'm here now, we'll deal with our problems together from this point forward, alright?" "Alright." Apollo answered quietly. Starbuck lifted Apollo's face to his and placed a firm kiss on his lips. Apollo hugged him tightly. The next sound was Starbuck stomach rumbling. "Apollo you know what, I'm starving." Before Apollo could answer his stomach did, loudly. "By all the holies, we even have compatible digestive systems." Apollo said with a little laugh. "So, do we order in the room or got to the dining level?" "Personally, I'm feeling very antisocial right now. I've got a beautiful man all to myself, I'd like to keep it that way." "Alright, do you trust me?" "With my life." Apollo pulled away and made his way to the Com phone to place the order for room service. His choices of dishes were designed to stimulate and enhance the rest of their evening together. Starbuck took that moment to place an order of his own. Selecting items from the screen on the computer that was tied in with the shop onboard. He keyed in his account code and the parcel was delivered by tube within a few centons. He thanked all the gods of chance that he had hit a huge jackpot just before the sealing took place. Otherwise he would have never been able to afford to purchase two of the items. He removed a small box from the bundle and then hid the parcel in the stand by their bed. It would be needed after dinner. Starbuck swaggered into the main chamber to find that a steward was already there setting up the meal that Apollo had ordered. When everything was to Apollo's satisfaction the steward excused himself and left the suite. Apollo walked over to Starbuck and took his arm leading him to the lavish table. "You're in for a treat tonight my love." "I know, after dinner." Starbuck answered with that special smile that he reserved for Apollo alone. "I meant the dinner, I dipped rather deeply into Father's pocket I'm afraid." Apollo seated his husband and then himself and they began to help themselves to the delicious food. They ate in silence marveling in the tastes and textures of dishes they had not tasted since before The Great Destruction. Starbuck had slipped the box out of his pocket and opened it. It contained two golden rings carved with symbols and set each with one perfect Piscean firestone. The purple fires within the stones shone brightly. Starbuck stood and walked over to Apollo, knelt and took his husband's hand. He gently slid the ring onto the ring finger of Apollo's left hand. Apollo looked at it. He was stunned, never before had anyone ever given him something so beautiful or so expensive. "Apollo, I want you to wear this as a reminder of my love, like the gold band my love is endless. The stone shows but a glimmer of the passion that I feel for you." "Oh, Starbuck, this is so wonderful. I never knew you were so romantic, but I don't have anything for you." "Love, I took the liberty of getting us a matched set, a way for telling people we belong to each other." Starbuck removed the box again from his pocket and opened it showing Apollo the twin to his ring. Apollo reverently took the ring from the box and placed it on Starbuck's finger. Then guided the hand to his lips and dropped a kiss into the palm. "That kiss means more to me than this ring ever could. To me it is more priceless than the most rare gem." Starbuck told his love, pulling his head down to claim the soft sensuous mouth in a kiss. A kiss so tender and full of love that it brought tears to Starbuck's eyes. Apollo startled to feel wetness against his cheek pulled back. "Starbuck, what's wrong?" "Nothing, everything is perfect. How could I ever be so blessed?" "Love, just by being who you are. You've had my heart from the day we met. I'm just sorry it took divine intervention to make me see that I couldn't live another micron without you in my life. I love you my husband." "I love you with all my heart Apollo." "Love, I hate to interrupt this but if this food goes to waste Father will court martial both of us." Starbuck pulled his chair over beside Apollo's and moved his plate, they sat and talked and fed each other until their hunger was satisfied. "That was wonderful," Starbuck commented. "The food?" Asked Apollo. "The food but most wonderful was sharing this meal and this time with the man that I love." Starbuck answered. "And now for dessert!" He took Apollo by the hand and led him to the sleeping chamber. As they entered the darken room, they both saw the starlight casting a silver glow on the bed that they would share. Starbuck lifted Apollo and carried him to the bed, lying him down gently. "Love, if you're sure you want me to " Apollo cut him off with a finger to his lips. "I'm sure Starbuck, I love you and trust you, with my life." Starbuck kissed his lover, a long and sensual kiss. His tongue exploring Apollo's hot wet mouth, the deepest recesses, then a light caress to the sensitive roof. Apollo shuddered, as the moment took on a life of its own. Finally, Starbuck gently broke the kiss and began to undress his lover. He took his time making every movement a line of poetry that was dedicated to this wonderful person who meant so much to him. When at last Apollo lay there naked, stretched out like a god on a diva, Starbuck began to explore his body with fingers, hands and tongue. Starting from the hairline and slowly working his way down the magnificent form. Mentally noting the areas that brought Apollo the most pleasure, like an ancient scribe translating a beloved text he worked. Upon reaching the long fine boned toes, he gently turned his lover over and continued the worship of his body from the nape of his neck down the muscled back all the way to the soles of his feet. By the time he was done Apollo was moaning his body craving a release to the passion that Starbuck and so artfully kindled. Starbuck gently placed Apollo on his back, and took his pulsating member deeply into his mouth. Apollo's body reacted immediately; the climax was almost violent in its intensity. He bucked his hips pressing his cock as deep into Starbuck's mouth as possible. The spasms wracking his body, in ecstasy so intense that it was almost painful. As the last of the waves of pleasure faded Apollo pulled Starbuck up to him kissing him deeply, tasting his essence in the deepest recesses of Starbuck's mouth. He shuddered never had lovemaking been like this. He wanted to give the same pleasure to his mate. Starbuck laid a restraining hand on his. "Love, we have to prepare you, if you want to feel me inside." "What do I need to do?" Starbuck kissed him deeply, and then led him to the refresher chamber. "First we have to clean you out, then we'll have to stretch you so I don't hurt you." "Tell me what I need to do." Starbuck motioned for Apollo to lean over the sink, as he did he felt and intrusion. "Relax Apollo, I won't hurt you, I promise." Apollo did his best to relax; the next thing he felt was fullness as the internal cleanser pumped him full of warm water. Starbuck removed the instrument gently. "Ok Apollo, go ahead and get rid it." Apollo turned and sat on the toilet and felt relief as his body expelled the water. "When you're done we'll need to do it again love." Apollo nodded and when he was ready he let Starbuck fill him again with the water from the cleanser. This time it was easier and there was nothing but water that was expelled from his bowels. He cleaned himself off and washed up joining Starbuck back in the bed. "Apollo, it's going to take a while to go this." "I want to Starbuck. Please." "Lie down on your stomach, I'll be gentle but there will still be a little pain." Apollo lie down and felt his lover spread the white globes of his butt. Starbuck began by gently massaging the tight opening there, and then Apollo gasped as he felt Starbuck's tongue begin to gently probe him. "Starbuck Please!" Starbuck fumbled with something and then Apollo felt a slippery finger begin to enter him. He tried to push back against it but Starbuck held him in place. "No Love let me do the work." Slowly, gently the digit made it's way inside Apollo, Starbuck waited a few moments to be sure that he wasn't in pain and then began to gently thrust the finger in and out. Apollo moaned, as another finger joined the first. It didn't hurt but the sense of fullness too a little getting use to. Then Starbuck reached deeper and his fingers danced over Apollo's prostate. "Oh Gods!" Apollo exclaimed. "What did you just do?" "Feel good?" Starbuck asked him "Yes! It's wonderful." The digits danced over the tiny gland again. "That my love your prostate, that tiny gland is going to become the center of your universe while I'm doing this." Again Starbuck's fingers played over it, like the hands of a musician stroking a fine instrument. "Sooooo Good!" Apollo moaned other words were impossible his brain just couldn't think of them much less string them together into a recognizable form. On and on Starbuck went bringing Apollo's body to a fevered pitch, then bringing him skillfully back from the brink just to take him back. On third peak Starbuck removed his fingers and turned Apollo over. Apollo felt the tip of his manhood against him. "Apollo, I'll try to be gentle but there will be some pain." "Starbuck please," Apollo's voice came out in a horse whisper, his body trembling in anticipation. Starbuck applied pressure and slipped past the outer ring of muscles. "Love?" Starbuck watched his lover's face, ready to stop. "Go on Starbuck. Please I need it!" Starbuck pressed forward and the muscles gave way, he slid in about half way. Apollo moaned from a mix of pain and pleasure. Starbuck held still waiting giving Apollo time to adjust to the fullness. While he waited he grasped Apollo's again hard cock and stroked it. When he felt the muscles relax he again pushed forward and slid all the way in. "Oh gods!" Apollo exclaimed. "Starbuck!" "It's ok love I'm in and we'll wait a while until you want to go more." Again while he waited for the muscles to relax the blonde man caressed his lover's body going over all the erogenous zones that he had catalogued earlier. Gradually Apollo's body was again sent into a frenzy of sensations. "Starbuck, I'm ok. Please." Apollo begged. Starbuck gently pulled back then flexed his flanks, making sure to hit the tiny gland deep within his lover. "Oh! It feels so good! Please don't stop!" Starbuck began slowly, thrusting in and out of his lover's thrashing body. Each time hitting making sure to brush the tiny gland that brought so much pleasure. Each thrust brought a guttural moan from Apollo. Then Apollo wrapped his legs around Starbuck's waist and pulled him deeper. Starbuck increased his rhythm and the power of the thrusts. On and on it went Apollo began bucking his hips to meet the incoming thrusts, each time moaning in pleasure. Starbuck watched Apollo's face the entire time. It was when Apollo looked him in the eyes with pure love that Starbuck began to lose control. He began to pound into Apollo harder and deeper, wanting to touch the very essence of his lover. "Starbuck! I'm gonna cum, oh gods! I'm gonna cum!" Starbuck felt the orgasm before the first drop left his lover's penis. He felt the fluttering deep within the body beneath him. As Apollo came his tunnel tightened on Starbuck's cock. Starbuck could take no more; he came to rest deep within Apollo. Bending he sought out his lover's mouth and claimed it his tongue penetrating just as his cock had. The kiss was electric, his body trembled as the orgasm shook him to his very soul. "Apollooooo!" He screamed; more words weren't necessary. Every thought every feeling it seemed was being sent out of his wracked body and into that of his lover. As the moment passed, Starbuck gently withdrew from the body of his lover, rolling over to lie by his side. He gathered Apollo into his arms and held him tightly. Stroking the lithe body that had blessed him with such a gift. Apollo brought his lips down on Starbuck's mouth, kissing him gently. "I love you Bucky." "I love you too Pollo. Are you alright?" "I'm sure I'll be sore in the morning, but right now I'm wonderful. Thank you, I've never had a love experience like that in my life." "You may not believe this, but neither have I. You do things to me Apollo that on one else has ever done." They kissed again, then snuggling together slept the blissful sleep of two lovers safe and satisfied in each other's arms. ***** Part 3 Apollo awoke to a knocking on the door to their suite. He got up out of bed trying not to disturb Starbuck and made his way to the main chamber. As he approached the door he heard a voice calling. "Captain! Captain! I'm sorry to disturb you but there has been an emergency!" Apollo ran the rest of the way to the door, savagely pounding the button to open it. "What's happened?" He demanded. "Captain, Commander Adama is waiting to speak with you, as soon as you're ready we have a shuttle waiting to return you and Lt. Starbuck to the Galactica." "Wait here!" Apollo ordered the man then strode over to the communications panel. He entered the code to remove the privacy lockout and accepted the call. "Apollo, there's been an accident. It's Boxey, son he was waiting for a lift and when the door opened there was no car he fell down three levels." "Oh GODS!" Screamed Apollo. He began to crumple but was caught by Starbuck. "Father, how is he?" Starbuck asked Adama. "He was rushed to Life Station, but he has lost a lot of blood. Cassie is scouring the records for a match, but he has a rare blood grouping. Without a transfusion there is little hope." "Do you know what his blood type is?" "Starbuck, Cassie's report says its Type AB negative." "Tell Cassie to get ready to do that transfusion, I have AB negative. We're on the way." Starbuck closed the connection. "Apollo, come on we've got to get to the Galactica." Apollo allowed Starbuck and the attendant to help him dress and then to the waiting shuttlecraft. Starbuck jumped into the pilot's seat and began the procedures to launch them into the abyss. "Love, Boxey is going to be fine. Hold on I'm going to pour on all the speed that this tub's got." Apollo was hiding deep inside himself. What would he do if Boxey didn't pull through? Yes he had Starbuck but what about when something happened to his husband too? It seemed that anytime Apollo was happy that the fates took that happiness in the form of someone he loved. Starbuck launched the shuttle and sped toward the Galactica. "Galactica control, this is Captain Apollo's shuttlecraft requesting..." The controller cut his off before he could complete the request. "Shuttlecraft you are cleared for landing! I am to tell you that there will be an escort waiting." "Acknowledged!" "Lt Starbuck, good luck with Boxey." The controller cut the connection but not before Starbuck and Apollo both heard her voice breaking. Starbuck brought the shuttle to a screeching landing in the main bay. Almost before it had stopped the security personnel had the door opened and Cassie was inside. "Starbuck how is Apollo?" "He's not said a word since Father broke the news. I'm worried about him." "Bucky, come on we've got to get to our son!" Apollo had snapped out of his inner turmoil and was getting to his feet. "Apollo, Dr. Salik is with him and we are going there now." Cassie said trying to reassure her friends. Starbuck helped Apollo out of the shuttle and they made their way to the Life Station. It seemed to take forever to get there. Along the way there were several people who gave the couple sympathetic looks. When they finally made their way through the doors of the Life Station Commander Adama was waiting for them. "Apollo, Starbuck, my sons he's in here." "Starbuck, I need a blood sample." Starbuck tore back his sleeve and offered her his arm. Cassie pressed a medical instrument to the bared skin. A small sample of Starbuck's blood was taken and the testing began. Within a few micron the reading was displayed showing that Starbuck did indeed have the blood type necessary. Cassie took his hand and led him inside where Dr Salik was waiting to begin the transfusion. Apollo sat with his father, tears flowing freely. Adama wrapped a strong arm around his son and pulled him close. He too had tears on his face. "Father what happened?" It was all Apollo could ask. "Boxey was on the way to Learning Center. I was going to walk him there, but he said that-" Adama's explanation was cut off by a low sob "-that he wanted to go alone. Apollo I'm sorry, if I had been there maybe I could have prevented this." "Father, he does go on his own to the Learning Center. He's an independent little man." "Yes, he is a lot like you at that age. You were always insisting that you could do everything without anyone's help." "Now I know better, I'm powerless to help my son, and my new husband just happens to have to correct blood type and can." The door that they were sitting by suddenly burst open. Cassie was there calling them both in. "Apollo, Commander, I believe you both need to be here now." They two men quickly entered the room and saw that Starbuck and Boxey had both been connected to a machine. It was slowly drawing blood from Starbuck's arm and giving it to the small boy. Apollo moved to touch both his son and his husband. Placing a hand on each of their shoulders. The Adama was asking the doctor how Boxey. But before Dr. Salik could answer there was a flash of light in the center of the room. As the light faded Serena could be seen standing there. She did not look the same way that she did when she and Ila appeared to Apollo and Starbuck. Her skin was radiant, alight from within. She was dressed all in white flowing robes and she had a set of silvery wings. "Serena Boxey has been hurt." Apollo tried to explain. "I know, I know." Her voice resonated it seemed almost like a musical instrument playing instead of a human talking. She walked over to the boy's bed and leaning over placed a kiss upon his brow. Immediately his eye's opened and he looked around. "Mom! Am I going with you?" He asked. "No Boxey, you're needed here. Your Dad and Papa need you. Do you remember what I told you my last wish for you and your Dad was?" "Yes, you wished that we would both be happy, and that there would be someone strong there to take care of us." "Yes that was my wish. And it has come true; your Papa will be there to help your Dad take good care of you. I have seen that in the way he reacted to this accident. I have also seen that you and Apollo are both very happy. I have to move on now, there is nothing left unfinished to hold me here." "No, don't leave." Boxey was crying. Serena wiped his tears and smiled. "Remember my child, I will always be with you." Then she turned to Apollo and Starbuck reaching out to lightly touch both men on the cheek. "Take care of our child, and the family of man that has been entrusted to you both. Remember I love you both and I will be awaiting for you to join me." The last words were emphasized, "When it is the proper time." With that the light within her blazed and she was gone. "Goodbye Mama." Boxey whispered. "Until I see you again Boxey, it's not goodbye." The words drifted back a whisper on the wind that was audible to everyone in the room. Dr. Salik using a medical scanner checked Boxey's condition. There was no trace of any damage to the boy. "Amazing!" He exclaimed. "She healed him. There is nothing wrong with him that any of my scanners can detect. Cassie take the transfuser off of Starbuck and I'll take care of the boy." Cassie moved to obey the doctor; as soon as he was freed Starbuck stood up and held Apollo. "Are you alright?" He asked his greatest love. "Yes, I am and I think everything is going to from now on." Apollo put his head on Starbuck's shoulder, both of them watching as the doctor helped their son off the medical bed and he ran over to them. "Dad, Papa, can we go home now?" Boxey asked with a hopeful look on his face. "Yes, I believe we can." Answered his Papa Starbuck. "Looks like the honeymoon's over love." "No you just wait, the best is yet to be." Starbuck said with a smile. With that the new family left Life Station and made their way home.
