Title: Anything For You Author: Betty Rating: NC-17 Category: Slash Pairing: Apollo/Starbuck Disclaimer: I don't own them. Distribution: Please let me know where. Feedback: er.br@sympatico.ca Summary: How far would Starbuck and Apollo go for each other? Starbuck hated going out on long range patrols. Oh he didn't mind leaving the Galactica once in a while, and he loved flying his viper, but being stuck in that viper for two or three days at a time was not his idea of a good time. And shutting down and drifting in sleep mode was even worse. Not being able to lay down to sleep made your back stiff and your butt sore. This must have been the tenth time in the last six centars that he had woken up trying to shift positions. Suddenly there was a blip on his scanner showing that there was a planet dead ahead. Time to wake Apollo. "Apollo." No answer. "Aaapooolooo, planet dead ahead, wake up sleepyhead, or you will crash." "Oh, Starrrbuuuk..." Apollo murmered/purred. Rolling his eyes Starbuck said, "Apollo, your dreams of me will have to wait, there is a planet dead ahead of us. NOW WAKE UP CAPTAIN!" "I'm awake." "OK, CAPTAIN SIR, so what do you want to do, should we check it out? The scanner says it has a breathable atmosphere and also shows signs of human life." "Yes Lieutenant, we should check it out. But no one from the planet has tried to contact us and there doesn't seem to be any satellites in orbit or any other signs of advanced technology, so we should try to find a place away from any settlements." Their scanners showed a place to land not to far away from what appeared to be a small city. They landed and quickly climbed down from their vipers, embracing each other when they met on the ground. "Thats what I like about long range patrols," Starbuck said when they came up for air. "What?" "Your kisses when we land. I couldn't live without them or you Apollo." Giggling Apollo replied, "Lets look around Starbuck, this planet is full of vegetation and has a good water supply, we may be able to find food for the fleet, and some fuel as well." "Well those forests are beautiful Apollo, I wonder what the people on this planet are like?" "I didn't see any signs of technology, but the city we flew over looked really nice. Maybe we can help these people as well." "Oh, we don't need your help, but we may be able to help you." Turning around Apollo and Starbuck saw an older man of about eighty yahrens smiling at them from the edge of the forest. Behind him was a group of men of various ages ranging from the late teens to middle age, all smiling at the two warriors. The older man came forward and said, "Welcome to Olympus, we hope you enjoy your visit to our beautiful planet. My name is Zeus, I am the leader of my people." He extended his hand in greeting and Apollo grasped it and introduced himself, "I am Captain Apollo from the Battlestar Galactica, and this is my wingman Lt. Starbuck." "Aaa hi there." Starbuck waved nervously. "Hello and welcome to both of you, come with us to the city, you look hungry and tired, we will feed you and bathe you and then you two young lovers can get some rest." "What, how did you know we were lovers?" Starbuck asked. "We saw you two kissing after you climbed down from your flying vehicles, only lovers would kiss with that much passion. Come now we will talk in the city after your needs have been taken of." They followed the men through the forest and into another clearing, where they found a roadway, and a waiting ground vehicle. They climbed aboard in the back. "What do you call this vehicle?" Apollo asked. "It is called a bus, it is our only means of transportation, unless of course, you walk." Looking around at the others on the bus Starbuck noticed they were all holding hands, some were hugging and kissing. "Apollo these people obviously don't have a problem with same sex relationships." "No, we won't have to worry about showing how we feel about each other while we are here, will we?" Apollo said, as he put his arm around Starbuck. The drive to the city only took ten centons, too soon for Starbuck who was enjoying the ride. The countryside was beautiful, and bird song filled the air. And he liked having Apollo's arm around him. The city was beautiful as well. The buildings were tall and covered with glass of all colors. The streets were clean with no sign of litter, flower and vegetable gardens could be seen everywhere. The grass was green and neatly cut, with fruit trees growing in neat rows. No where did they see anything that seemed out of place. The citizens they saw all seemed happy and content. It was picture perfect. 'Too perfect,' Apollo thought to himself, 'something has got to be wrong, no planet is perfect, but what is it, what's missing that I just can't put my finger on?' The bus stopped in front of the building in the exact center of the city. The sight the sun made reflecting off the golden glass covering it was amazing. This building was the only one that was golden, and it was shorter than the others, only four levels high compared to ten levels of the others, but it was longer and wider than the others. In front of it was a sign that read: BUILDING OF LIFE 'Whats that mean?' Starbuck wondered. "Come inside and we will share refreshments with you and then you may bath and rest." Zeus told them as he led them into the building, the other men falling in behind the two warriors. The inside was just as beautiful as the outside. Large water fountains, planters holding flowering and noon flowering plants. Benches, where again they saw couples sitting and talking. Everyone appeared happy and content. They were led into a large dining hall with low tables and cushions on the floor for sitting upon and laying on. The tables were covered with trays full of fresh fruits and vegetables, wine and juice. Zeus took them to an unoccupied table and motioned for them all to sit, with Apollo and Starbuck next to him. "Now eat gentlemen, enjoy our hospitality. If there is anything you need simply ask and we will be glad to provide it for you." Both men picked a fruit from the tray in front of them. Apollo asked what they were called. "You Captain have what we call a peach and the Lt. has a strawberry, they are both very sweet fruits ,we all enjoy eating them." Starbuck popped the strawberry into his mouth and agreed it was quite good. Apollo's peach was so juicy that the juice drippeled down his chin, causing Starbuck to giggle. They tried other fruits as well apples, pears, mangos. Apollo enjoyed laying back on the cushions while Starbuck fed him grapes one at a time, Starbuck loved it when Apollo pulled him down and kissed him pushing a half eaten grape into his mouth, so erotic. Both of them agreed that the fruit called lemon was just to sour and they could not eat them. A man named Hercules told them that lemons are squeezed for their juice and then the juice is mixed with sugar and water, making lemonade. A refreshing drink on a hot day. He poured them each a glass and they found it was good, and took more. "It must be mixed with sugar for even though the lemon is a very pretty fruit and it's flower smells sweet the lemon itself is impossible to eat," another man told them. The men sitting around the table smiled to each other, for they had not mentioned the secret ingredient in the lemonade passed down from their ancestors, they were not ready to share that just yet. Zeus turned to Apollo and asked, "How long have you two been together?" "Starbuck and I have known each other for fifteen yahrens but have been lovers for only two now." "You seem to be very devoted to each other, and very much in love." "Yes we are, there is no one else I rather be with." Apollo told him. "So tell me Captain, would you do anything for him?" "Yes, anything, and he would do the same for me, wouldn't you Starbuck?" "Apollo's every wish is my command." Starbuck smiled. "Good, I am glad to hear that," Zeus replied, "Everyone should have someone to love them that deeply." Zeus sat back thinking to himself, 'These men are so beautiful, we can indeed help them. Our medical scanners showed us they cannot do that one thing, but we will soon remedy that. Yes our knowledge can help these people greatly. Our people would have died out without the secret ingredient our ancestors gave us for the lemonade. The knowledge of life, performed here in The building of life. Yes gentlemen, drink the lemonade, the more you drink, the faster you can do anything for each other.' As the meal was winding down, Starbuck took a good look around the room. Everyone he saw was either eating or feeding their lovers, or cuddling. Everyone was showing love to each other, but something was missing. No one was fighting, no harsh words, no arguments, but that wasn't it. Then it came to him. He looked at Apollo, then at the men at their table. He leaned over to Zeus and said, "Excuse me Zeus, your people all seem happy and content, you have good food and plenty of it, your city is beautiful, it's perfect here except for one thing. Where are all your women?" "Women?" Zeus replied confused, "What are women?" "You don't have any women?" Starbuck was astonished. "How can your society survive; how can you have children?" "Oh, we can have children, we can all have children." Starbuck stared at Zeus, his mouth dragging on the floor. Apollo reached up and, pushing Starbuck's mouth closed, said, "They must be hermaphrodites, Starbuck. You know, people who are both male and female. I noticed the lack of women here as well and was also about to question Zeus about it. I thought at first this building was for male lovers, but I guess the entire population shares it." "Oh, OK, then." Poor Starbuck was still very confused. Zeus clapped his hands and the men all rose. "Time to bathe our visitors," he told his people. The men all escorted the warriors out of the dining hall and up to the building's second level. Here is where the baths were located. There were huge baths, the size of swimming pools from one end to the other, twelve in all. Slowly the people of Olympus started to undress Apollo and Starbuck, who protested that it was unnecessary, they could undress themselves. "It is our duty to make sure all visitors to Olympus are made comfortable; undressing and bathing you is our pleasure," Zeus told them. Once they were undressed , two of the strongest men in the group picked them up and lowered them into the warm water. Immediately two bathing boys came and started washing them from head to toe. "I could get used to this," Starbuck said. "Yeah, well just don't forget who you belong to Bucko." "Oh, I won't, Apollo, I was thinking when we get back to the Galactica we could do this for each other. I bet we could get real turned on in the turbo wash." Apollo just smiled, thinking, 'That's my Starbuck.' After they were washed, two lounging chairs were floated over and the two were placed in them to float around the pool. Each was given a big glass of lemonade and told to drink up. "They really like this lemonade stuff, Apollo; they all drink a lot of it." Starbuck was looking around at the other men in the pool, all drinking lemonade. "Yes, I've noticed, but it's OK, I've grown to like it myself. Maybe we can take a few gallons of the stuff back to the Galactica with us," Apollo answered. "Yes, our own private stock; think it would go good with ambrosia?" "We can always find out," Apollo grinned. After a centar of floating around the pool, and five more big glasses of lemonade each, the men were lifted out and dried off. Nice big, thick robes were wrapped around them. They felt more relaxed than ever before, but Starbuck's bladder felt like it was going to burst and Apollo was sure his teeth were floating. "I think we drank too much lemonade," he told Zeus. "Oh, nonsense, you can never drink to much lemonade," Zeus scoffed. After they had taken care of their hurting bladders, they were led up to the third level. Here they found private rooms, and they were given the biggest room on the floor. They were told to rest, or enjoy each other, whichever they preferred, and left alone. Starbuck couldn't believe the room. A golden canopy bed, covered in soft comforters, and big fluffy pillows. Trays of fresh fruit. A private wet bar, stocked full of.....lemonade. 'What is it with these people and lemonade?' Starbuck thought. He was about to mention it to Apollo, but before he could Apollo had grabbed him and pulled him into a passionate embrace. All thoughts of lemonade left his head as Apollo pushed him towards the bed. Slowly they removed each other's robes and started caressing each other, luxuriating in the feel of each other's body. Starbuck slowly kissed his way from Apollo's mouth, up those lovely high cheek bones, to his ear, biting gently on the lobe, causing Apollo to gasp and moan with desire. From there he slowly moved down Apollo's neck, kissing, nibbling and licking his way over the collarbone and down his chest, stopping to suck on Apollo's left nipple while squeezing the right. Then he switched and sucked on the right nipple and squeezed the left. He now had Apollo moaning constantly, so he gently laid him down onto the soft pillows. Apollo spread his legs wide, so Starbuck could kneel between them and be able to give Apollo's body his undivided attention. Slowly Starbuck licked and kissed his way down Apollo's abdomen stopping to gently nibble at his navel. He slowly moved down further, but only licked around Apollo's erect and very hard penis, teasing him even more. Down he moved to Apollo's thighs and slowly licked the inside of one and then the other, over and over again, never touching Apollo's cock or balls, driving Apollo crazy with desire. He rose up onto his hands and knees and stared down at Apollo, who was now quivering with desire and moaning "Please, Starbuck. Please don't stop, I want more." Smiling Starbuck reached for the lube on the shelf at the head of the bed. Making sure Apollo had a clear view of what he was doing, he spread a huge amount over his fingers, then bent down and took Apollo's entire length into his mouth. Apollo emitted a very long, loud moan of pleasure. As Starbuck slowly sucked on Apollo's cock ,he gently pushed one finger up inside the man he loved; slowly he added a second, and then a third, massaging Apollo's prostate. He now had Apollo moaning and whimpering louder than ever before, "Oh, please, Starbuck, more; I want you to make love to me; please come inside me," he begged. Removing his fingers from inside Apollo, causing him to moan from the loss, Starbuck spread lots of lube over his own erection. He then spread Apollo's legs as wide as they would go and raising them up, slowly pushed himself inside. The moan Apollo gave out was the most beautiful sound Starbuck had ever heard. Slowly he thrust into Apollo, in and out, speeding up just a little with each thrust. He gently took Apollo's hand, placed it on his rock hard cock and told him, "Masturbate for me, Apollo." Doing as he was told, Apollo pumped his own cock with the same rhythm Starbuck was thrusting into him. His moans became louder and louder and he started whimpering "Faster, faster, harder, harder, oh, Starbuck, I love you." "I love you, too, Apollo, more than words could ever say, more than my actions could ever show." Those words made Apollo come good and hard, shooting sperm high into the air and hitting Starbuck's chin, dribbling down onto his chest. His anal contractions caused Starbuck to come, shooting his sperm deep into Apollo. Each man moaned the other's name as he came, mixed with words of love. Starbuck collapsed onto Apollo, kissing him deeply, more deeply than he had ever kissed anyone else before; not even Cassi received kisses like this from him. For even though he enjoyed the time he had spent with her and liked having sex with her, it was just sex. Apollo was the only one he had ever made love to. Apollo felt the same way. Not even Serina had gotten emotions like this out of him, and he certainly hadn't moaned like this for her; in fact, he never made any sound at all when he came inside her. As for Sheba, well he wasn't even interested in having a relationship with her; he had the person he wanted right here in this bed. Why wouldn't Sheba just leave him alone and go out with Bojay? He wanted her. The two lovers caressed each other until their heartbeats slowed down and their breathing returned to normal. Then Apollo suggested they have more lemonade. Starbuck was starting to think they were becoming addicted to it. Sitting on the bed cuddling and kissing, they each drank two more glasses of lemonade and then Apollo made love to Starbuck before they fell asleep in each other's arms. As the two warriors slept neither one was aware of the change the lemonade was causing in their bodies. Slowly something was growing. Soon they would become different, they wouldn't even notice it. It wouldn't cause them to look any different than before. They were unaware, and would remain unaware until it was too late, that slowly the lemonade was turning them into HERMAPHRODITES! ***** Starbuck and Apollo awoke the next morning feeling rested, refreshed and very satisfied. The night before had been wonderful, and the big bed had added to their pleasure. They quickly put on their robes and headed for the baths. After being washed and again floating around the pool and drinking more lemonade, they went back to their room where they found their uniforms freshly washed and folded on the now made bed. They dressed and went down for breakfast. In the dining hall they met up with Zeus. "Good morning, gentlemen. I trust that you found your room satisfactory?" "Oh, yes, we were quite pleased with the bed...er...room," the two men said at the same time. Zeus just smiled at their mix up in words and invited them in for breakfast, which consisted of a type of flaked cereal covered in sliced bananas. They asked what the cereal was made from and was told it was corn. "We call them corn flakes, and they go very well with sliced bananas." Starbuck liked them so much that he had two bowls of them and was going to have a third until Apollo started to tease him that he was going to get fat eating so much food. So instead he had another glass of lemonade. 'I don't think these people drink anything else here,' he thought as he drank down his fifth glass of the stuff that morning. He was starting to get sick of the stuff. As the meal drew to a close Zeus asked Apollo how they had come upon his people's planet. Apollo told him about how the Cylons had destroyed the colonies, how his father had gathered the survivors and about their quest for Earth. He also told him they must send out patrols to scout out planets for sources of food, water and fuel. "Our planet has a rich supply of food, as you can see. We would be honored to help your people in any way we can." "Thank you very much, we can trade anything with you for the food if you wish." "No need, there is nothing we need. We can defend ourselves against these Cylons should they come here, if that is what you fear. We may appear primitive but we are not. We will start to gather food for your people immediately." Zeus then gathered his people together and sent them out to harvest the food the Galactica fleet would need. Apollo went to his viper to contact the Galactica and give them the good news. Because they were visitors, the people of Olympus would not allow Starbuck or Apollo to help in the harvesting, Instead, they were told to go and enjoy themselves and relax while they had the chance, and to drink as much lemonade as they wanted. "Apollo what is it with these people and lemonade? They want us to drink it and drink a lot of it." "I don't know, but I'm getting suspicious about it. Have you noticed it's the only thing they have offered us to drink, even though they have wine and other juices?" "Yeah, well, maybe we should ask this Zeus about it." "We don't want to appear rude, Starbuck. They are offering our fleet food that is greatly needed. We must be careful about how we approach this." "Well, maybe we can slip it in at lunch time." "Yes...well...that...sounds...good," Apollo said slowly. "Now...about ...slipping...it...in, come here...under...these...bushes...and you...can slip...it in." "I don't have any lube on me, Apollo." "Well, we can always test out some of the local fruit, like maybe those bananas hanging above you." Starbuck quickly grabbed a big bunch of bananas and followed Apollo under the bushes. ***** At the same time the two warriors were enjoying the bananas, Zeus was talking to his son about the two. "Hercules, have our two visitors drunk enough of the lemonade yet?" "Oh yes, father, at breakfast this morning they both drank enough to ensure that the change would be complete. Nothing can be done now to stop it. By lunch time today they will both be like us." "Good, good. At lunch today we must offer them wine to drink; that way they will not become suspicious that we have done something to the lemonade' "But why, father, why keep it secret from them. If they love each other I would think they would be happy to go through the change, just as our people are." "I have found that people from other planets do not like to go through the change. It seems that on some planets they have what is called females, and that these females can have children, and that they don't need the lemonade to do it, they are born being able to do it; it is most strange." "That must be what Starbuck was talking about last night; women must be females, I wonder what they look like?" "I don't know, son, I have never seen one." ***** About two centars later Starbuck and Apollo were relaxing under the bushes. Starbuck was almost asleep. He had made love to Apollo twice and Apollo had made love to him three times. The poor guy was worn out, and Apollo wanted more. Just as Apollo started nibbling on Starbucks nipple they heard a high pitched musical sound similar to a flute. "What's that sound, Apollo?" "I don't know; sounds nice though." Then all of a sudden this funny looking animal/creature/thing burst into the bushes, and stopped and grinned down at the two warriors. Both Starbuck and Apollo screamed, "Aaaahhhh," and Starbuck peed (you don't want to know what Apollo did). Then this thing reached down and grabbed both men's uniforms, minus boots and ran away, causing both of them to scream, "That thing stole our clothes!" and, pulling on their boots, run after the thing. While they were running through the orchard the first man to see them yelled out, "Oh look, our visitors were making love under the bushes and the Satyr caught them." All the other men pointed and laughed at them. But the Galactica boys just kept running. Starbuck thought the thing looked half human /half goat. Apollo didn't care what it looked like, all he could think was, 'This is nuts, first we land on a planet populated by hermaphrodites, who make us drink lemonade, then this half human animal thing steals our clothes and now I'm running naked through the woods!!!! What's going to happen to us next?' The men of Olympus quickly tackled the Satyr and made it give back Starbuck's and Apollo's clothes. Then they told the two that no one makes love under bushes because if you do the Satyr will come and steal your clothes. For some reason it likes to play tricks on people. "Well, why didn't someone warn us about this Satyr before this happened?" Starbuck hissed bitterly. The men just shrugged at them, until the leader of this group ,a man named Aeolus {pronounced EE-oh-lus
