Summary: Starbuck and Apollo discover their true feelings for each
other, and their girlfriends aren't too happy about it.


Coming out of decontamination, Apollo and Starbuck headed for the
officers club for a quick drink to relax after a long patrol. Apollo
didn't have any plans for the evening and since they both had the
next two days off, he wondered if he could talk Starbuck into going
over to the Rising Star with him. He knew Starbuck would drop
anything for him, including breaking dates with Cassi, all he had to
do was ask. This was the reason Apollo wanted to go over there with
Starbuck. He wanted to tell Starbuck his true feelings, that he
loved him. More than anyone else he had ever known, including
Serina. He hoped that Starbuck felt the same, after all you only
dropped everything you were doing, and broke a date with a beautiful
woman for someone you
loved. Didn't you? Apollo thought may be a few drinks would help him
loosen his tongue, and make Starbuck more receptive to his advances.

He decided to ask, "Starbuck, what are you doing tonight? Do you
have a date with Cassi?"

"No, I don't know if I really want to date Cassi anymore".

"What! Why not?" Apollo could not believe this.

"I have decided that I'm not going to lie to my self anymore. I love
someone else. Someone I can't have, and that's just not fair to
Cassi. I plan on telling her, just not tonight. I don't want to
fight with her tonight, so I plan on going over to the Star and
playing  a few hands of cards."

"Starbuck, if there is someone else, why don't you tell them? Why do
you think you can't have that person? Their not married are they?"

"No, this person is completely available."

"So why not tell her, I can't believe the great Starbuck is afraid
to tell a girl how he feels."

Starbuck didn't know what to do. How could he tell Apollo the person
he wanted was him. That late at night he dreamed of holding Apollo
in his arms, and making love to him. That after a triad game, when
Apollo wasn't looking he would sneak peeks at that perfect body
wishing he could lick the sweat off of every inch of it. He could
not just come out and say it. Not here in the officers club. Where
everyone would see Apollo's reaction and Starbuck's humiliation, so
he just dropped a hint and hoped for the best. Putting his mug down,
and standing up he softly said, so only Apollo would hear. "I can't
say anything because if I did HE would kick my ass" and
then he walked out the door. Leaving a very stunned Apollo sitting
at the table, alone.

*****

Apollo watched Starbuck from a distance. He was standing alone,
leaning against the wall waiting for the shuttle to the Rising Star,
and Starbuck had not noticed him yet. When it came time to board the
shuttle Apollo quickly caught up to Starbuck and said, "Hey, you
didn't think you could go to the Rising Star without me did you. Who
would keep you out of trouble?"

Starbuck smiled at this. Even if he couldn't tell Apollo how he
really felt, he could still be with him. As his friend. It wasn't
what he truly wanted, but it was better than nothing. Besides, there
was no one he would rather be with.

"I thought Sheba was looking for you?"

"She was, but I got away. She has no idea where I am. Besides,
Sheba's okay as a friend, but I'm just not interested in anything
else with her. Problem is, she will not take the hint."

"So tell her. But put her down easy, Sheba seems to be the kind that
doesn't want to take 'no' for an answer."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Apollo sighed.

*****

They sat together on the shuttle. Talking about nothing in
particular. But then they were always like that. They could talk
about anything. Anything except how they really felt about each
other. Both were cowards when it came to that. Tonight Apollo
planned on changing that. 'Lords I hope I'm right and that the HE
Starbuck mentioned is me.'

After landing and leaving the shuttle, Apollo told Starbuck he would
rent a double occupancy room. "Just in case both of us are to drunk
to return to the Galactica, after all we do have the next two days
off."

Starbuck waited at the entrance to the lounge, while Apollo rented
the room. Apollo didn't tell Starbuck the room only had one big bed.
He would cross that bridge when he got to it. Starbuck didn't tell
Apollo he wished he would rent a room with only one big bed, but he
could dream.

*****

After about two centars of drinking Apollo looked up and said, "Oh
no."

"What's the matter Apollo?"

"Look over at the door and see for yourself."

Starbuck looked over and saw what was bothering Apollo. Sheba and
Cassi were standing  there. Both were dressed in very provocative
dresses, that threatened to become see through in the right light.

"Oh frak." Starbuck cursed. "How did they find us?"

"I don't know. Lets sneak out."

"How Apollo? They're right by the door."

"We go under the table, the tablecloth will hide us. Then when they
sit down, we get out of here and go to another bar. I heard there is
a very good one a few levels down."

So the two brave Colonial Warriors hid under the table. Each one
with his own thoughts. Apollo thinking,  'I hope Starbuck doesn't
know I'm talking about the gay bar,' and Starbuck thinking, 'I
wonder if he knows that's a gay bar,' and both of them thinking
'wonder what he'll do when we get there. Will I be able to come on
to him there, or will he kick my ass for trying?'

Apollo peeked out from under the table cloth and noticed the girls
had sat down at a table near the door. They had a good view of it
too. "Great we can't get out. We're trapped like rats in here," he
told Starbuck.

Starbuck looked out and saw them .Yep, right were they had a good
view of everyone coming into and going out of the lounge. Then he
saw Giles and Boomer staring at them. He motioned them over with his
hand.

Boomer came over and said, "What are two doing hiding under the
table?"

Starbuck put his finger to his lips, "Shshshsh, Boomer. We don't
want Cassi or Sheba to see us. You and Giles go over and ask them to
dance, and don't take no for an answer."

Boomer thought they were nuts, but did what Starbuck wanted, and
soon he and Giles were dancing with the girls.

Starbuck and Apollo then crawled out from under the table, and then
crawled to the door. With Sires Tinna staring at them, mouth wide
open wondering, 'Does Adama know how his son acts in public, how
disgraceful!'

As the two of them left the lounge, still on their hands and knees,
they rounded the corner and ran into someone wearing black boots and
dark pants. Looking up Apollo saw that it was his father. Standing
up and smiling, as if nothing was wrong, Apollo said, "Why hello
father. Fancy meeting you here."

"May I ask what you two think you are doing crawling around on the
floor?" Adama did not sound too happy.

"Wwwell ..you ...s-see ...sir we, um..."Apollo stammered.

"We were trying to hide from the girls Sir. We just wanted a mens
night out. Without Cassi or Sheba, and since they followed us we
thought we would sneak out so they wouldn't see us." Starbuck told
Adama, since Apollo was having so much trouble.

"I can understand you wanting a night without them, but why not just
tell them that instead of making fools of yourselves by crawling
around on the floor?"

Apollo answered, "Because neither one of them will take no for an
answer Sir."

"Well go, get out of here. I promise you I will not tell them I saw
you."

"Thank you." Both men answered together, and ran down the hall.

Looking after his retreating son and Starbuck Adama said to himself,
"Why don't those two just admit to each other and everyone else that
their in love with one other and be done with it. Then they could
quit these silly games. If they don't do it soon I'm going to pull
them both into my quarters and make them admit it."

*****

Starbuck and Apollo were giggling by the time they reached the
elevator. But by the time they reached the Blue Light Bar, they were
both very nervous. Apollo got up his courage and just walked right
on in. Poor Starbuck gulped first, then followed.

"Well Bucko, this is it. Are you gonna do it, or you gonna chicken
out?" Starbuck said to himself.

Apollo sat down at a vacant table, looked up at Starbuck and thought
to himself, 'Just get a couple more drinks into yourself Apollo and
then go for it.'

As Starbuck sat down he noticed that Apollo seemed as nervous as he
did. "Apollo, are you okay?"

"I'm fine Starbuck," he answered with a shaky voice.

"You seem nervous about something."

"Just scared the girls are going to show up here." Apollo lied.

The waiter came and each of them ordered a cocktail, Apollo drank
his down in one gulp, and ordered another.

"You are nervous about something. What is it? And don't tell me some
story about the girls finding us, we both know they will not come
down here. Not to this bar."

"What makes you think they wouldn't come here?"

"Apollo, look around. This is a gay bar."

"Is it? I hadn't noticed," Apollo replied a little to fast.

Then it dawned on Starbuck. Apollo had brought him here on purpose.
He couldn't believe it. Apollo wanted him. So he gathered up his
courage, reached his hand behind Apollo's neck and pulled him into a
kiss. Apollo was shocked at first but soon returned the kiss. 'I was
right,' Apollo was thinking. 'It is me he wants. Starbuck, the great
womanizer, wants me.'

As the kiss broke Starbuck asked "How did you know it was you I
wanted?"

"I didn't, I just hoped. I have wanted you for yahrens, but I
thought you were only interested in women. Then in the officers
club, you said 'HE would kick my ass' and I thought maybe,
hopefully, you were talking about me."

"Sagan, have we been a couple of fools," Starbuck sighed.

"No, not fools Starbuck, we've been a couple of cowards." Apollo
chuckled as he leaned in for another kiss.

After a couple more centars of drinking and slow dancing, and of
course kissing Starbuck suggested they go to that room Apollo had
rented. When they got there Starbuck just stared at the big bed.

"Apollo, how come there's only one bed?"

"Well, okay I admit it, I was hoping we would end up in there
together."

"Planning on seducing me were you?"

"Something like that."

Grinning wickedly Starbuck asked, "Apollo, have you ever done this
before?" Apollo bit his lower lip, and scratched the back of his
head, as he nervously answered, "Well, um no I um, I've never
um,.......not with a man."

Starbuck's grin turned into a warm, loving smile as he reached out
and pulled Apollo into a soft embrace, kissing his lips tenderly,
and caressing his back. When they pulled apart Starbuck whispered,
"So, I guess this makes you a virgin? Are you sure you want to go
through with this?"

"Yes," Apollo answered, "to both questions."

Starbuck nodded his head as he kissed Apollo again, then added, "I
promise not to do anything you don't want, okay. You just tell me to
stop and I will."

Apollo nodded his reply, knowing he could trust Starbuck to never
hurt him, or force him to do something he didn't want to do. But he
wanted this. He wanted to feel Starbuck's naked body next his. Late
at night he dreamed of Starbuck's warm hands caressing him, and
driving him mad with desire. He wanted Starbuck to touch every inch
of him, to put his mouth on him in places only a lover would. And
yes he wanted Starbuck to make love to him. To be the first, and
only, man to ever enter him that way.

Starbuck gently kissed Apollo's neck. He wanted this night to be
special for his new lover. A night Apollo would remember for the
rest of his life. Slowly he removed Apollo's jacket and shirt,
running his right hand tenderly up his chest, while his left hand
caressed Apollo's back. He could feel Apollo shiver as his
fingertips just barely touched his belly. Kissing Apollo's sweet
lips again, Starbuck reached down and undid the belt to Apollo's
pants, then slowly undoing the button and zipper as well.

After pushing the pants down as far as he could ,he bent down and,
slipping one arm around Apollo's knees, and the other around his
waist, lifted him and sat him on the bed. Giving Apollo another
tender kiss, he then removed his boots and pants, and moved him up
onto the bed so his head was laying on the pillows. Quickly Starbuck
removed his own clothes and joined Apollo on the bed, kissing his
way up Apollo's body, from the tips of his toes to the top of his
head.

Apollo felt like he was in heaven. Never had anyone paid this much
attention to his body. Starbuck was making sure he was enjoying
every micron of this night. The kisses that were being bestowed upon
his body were full of passion and desire. He could feel the love
Starbuck had for him in every kiss. He closed his eyes and moaned
his lover's name, then gasped when he felt Starbuck's moist tongue
on his hard little nipples, licking and sucking each one tenderly.

Starbuck heard Apollo gasp, and knew he from the sound he wanted
more. As he moved down Apollo's body, kissing and gently nibbling
his belly, he gently took hold of Apollo's hard shaft, and slowly
pumped it .Tenderly he kissed the flared head and ran his tongue
around it and down the shaft to the base and up again, causing
Apollo to cry out an "Ooohhh!" in desire.

Sitting up so he could give Apollo's lips another kiss Starbuck
asked "Do you just want me to suck you Apollo, or do you me to go
further?"

Gasping for breath, Apollo moaned, "I want you to make love to me
Starbuck, I want to feel you inside me."

Smiling tenderly as he kissed Apollo again Starbuck told him, "All
right, but you tell me if you change your mind."

Again Apollo just nodded.

Starbuck reached down into his jacket's pocket and retrieved a tube
of lube. He then laid down between Apollo's legs, pushing them
apart, and bending his knees. Slowly he started licking the inside
of Apollo's thighs, first one and then the other. Soon he had Apollo
moaning constantly, his body shivering with wanton desire. Starbuck
licked across Apollo's balls, moving down and
gently lifting then with his chin, so he could reach the puckered
opening with his tongue. He hungrily licked at Apollo's anal ring,
covering it with saliva, as he generously lubed up his fingers.
Apollo was now quivering uncontrollably, gasping, and moaning, he
reached down and ran his fingers through Starbuck's hair. Wordlessly
telling him to continue.

Slowly Starbuck licked up Apollo's balls to his cock. Running his
tongue slowly up the shaft to the head, and then around it, licking
the precum that was dripping out the tiny slit on top.

At the same time he slowly sucked Apollo's cock into his mouth, he
gently pushed a well lubed finger into his ass, stopping when he
felt the muscles tighten, and heard Apollo gasp in pain. Holding the
finger in place, he gently sucked on Apollo's cock, moving his mouth
slowly up and down, and wiggling his tongue along the shaft. Soon he
felt Apollo's anal muscle relax and pushed his finger in a little
further, hearing Apollo moan in pleasure.

He moved his finger in time with his mouth, feeling Apollo relax a
little more he gently added  a second. Keeping his hand still, he
started bending and unbending his fingers inside Apollo, rubbing his
fingertips against his prostate. Apollo's moans soon became louder,
and longer. Instead of "Ooohhh" they became "OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH."
And Starbuck quickly added a third finger, as he covered his hard
shaft with a thick layer of lube.

Removing his mouth from Apollo's cock, he sat up and gently placed
Apollo's knees on his shoulders. Before pulling out his fingers he
asked Apollo, " Do you still want this?"

"*YES, YES, PLEASE STARBUCK, MAKE LOVE TO ME! I WANT TO FEEL YOU
INSIDE
ME,PLEASE*!"

Smiling, Starbuck removed his fingers and gently pushed his
throbbing cock inside Apollo. When he felt Apollo's muscles tighten,
he stopped and gently stroked Apollo's cock .Feeling his love relax
again, he pushed further inside. After a few centons he was in all
the way, with his balls pressed up against Apollo.

He kept still for a centon, in order for Apollo to get used to the
feeling of being filled. Then he felt Apollo starting to move on his
cock, and slowly started to thrust inside. He started with short
gentle thrusts, speeding up as Apollo's moans and whimpers got
louder. Soon he was thrusting fast and hard, and he tightened his
hold on Apollo's cock and pumped it in time to his
thrusts.

Apollo was riding a wave of ecstasy. Never had he felt this good,
this wonderful. He could feel his orgasm building, feel his balls
tighten. His moans became louder still, and stars flashed in front
of his eyes and screamed out "Oooooohhhhhhhh, god,
Staaaaaaarbuuuuuck, ooooohhhhhh, yeeessss." and he came, spurting
his cream all over his chest and abdomen, and down Starbucks hand.
Starbuck could feel Apollo's anal muscles constricting on his cock,
milking him dry as he to came shouting out Apollo's name, "Oh god
Apollo, I love you!" shooting his love juice deep inside Apollo's
body, and then collapsing on top of him.

The two lovers held each other close. Each caressing the other's
back, as they waited for their breathing to return to normal, and
their hearts to slow back down. Gently they kissed, whispering words
of love. Starbuck pulled the covers up and over them as Apollo
snuggled into his chest, kissing him softly. Then they heard a knock
on the door.

"Oh," Starbuck complained, "Who could that be?"

"Maybe if we ignore them they will go away," Apollo whispered.

Quietly the two lovers held each other, waiting for the intruder
into their blissful evening to leave. But again they heard a
knocking on the door, and then Sheba`s voice, "Come on you two, we
know you're in there. You two are always together. You know if you
guys keep locking yourselves in a room together people are gonna
start talking, wondering what you're doing together, you wouldn't
want that now would you?"

Starbuck and Apollo looked at each and giggled. Then they heard
Cassi say, "Sheba look, the door is unlocked."

"Oh, no." Both men said at once.

Looking at the door with a worried expression Starbuck asked, "You
don't think they would just walk in here do you?"

Before Apollo could answer, the door opened and the two giggling
women walked in, each carrying a bottle of wine. They took one look
at Apollo and Starbuck in bed together and stopped in their tracks,
mouths wide open.

Calmly Starbuck sat up and cooed, "Oh girls, is that wine for us?
Look Apollo the girls have brought us some wine, now we can
celebrate properly."

Smiling Apollo added, "Gee, that was nice of you two. And here
Starbuck and I were worried you girls would be jealous."

Sheba had trouble finding her breath as she pointed at the two men
and stammered, "You.....your....in bed......together......why?"

Putting his arms around Apollo and hugging him close, Starbuck coyly
answered, "Why do you think?"

Sheba`s eyes went wide, she dropped the bottle of wine, and ran
screaming from the room. Cassi, who seemed to be taking this okay,
but really wasn't, picked the bottle up, and then put both of them
on the bed. Backing away she said, "I wouldn't open that one for
awhile if I were you. It might spray all over you."

Grinning evilly Apollo teased, "Ooohhh Starrrrrrrbuck, that would be
fun, then you could lick it all off me."

Cassi stopped and stared wide eyed, mouth agape as the two men
kissed, passionately. When they broke apart Apollo nonchalantly
said, "Cassi, close and lock the door behind you when you leave.
Starbuck and I don't want to be disturbed again."

"Of course." Cassi whispered.

*****

Out in the hallway Sheba was seething. Her whole body was shaking
she was so
mad. Looking at Cassi she asked through clinched teeth. "What do
those two
think they are doing?"

Still in shock from what she had seen Cassi answered, "They are
going to pour wine over each other and then lick it off. Sounds very
erotic. Starbuck never did that to me, wish he had." Then turning to
look Sheba in the eye she added, "I am going to the nearest bar and
getting a drink. I need a drink, in fact I am going to get rip
roaring drunk and then go to bed with the first man who asks me. I
don't care who he is."

Sheba, still angry replied, "Oh yeah, well we should give them a
taste of their own medicine. Wonder how they would react to walking
in and seeing us together like that. It would serve them right. I
bet they wouldn't like that now would they?"

Cassi stopped a moment to think, then grinning the evilest grin
Sheba had ever seen in her life, replied, "You know Sheba, I think
your right. Come on up to the dining room with me. We have evil
plans to formulate."

*****

One Secton Later

The time had come for Sheba and Cassi to carry out their plan.
Starbuck and Apollo were out on the last patrol of the day, and
since that meant they would be coming off duty late into the sleep
period, Boxey would spending the night with Athena. It was now or
never.

As soon as the corridors were dark, and most people asleep, they
quietly sneaked into Apollo's quarters. They had gotten the security
code from Athena, who acted to be just as shocked as they were but
who really wasn't surprised at the news, but wasn't about to tell
them that. She was betting the plan would backfire on them. And
backfire big time.

Sheba checked  her time piece, only 15 centons until the boys would
be leaving debriefing. Both women knew Starbuck was spending his
nights with Apollo and then sneaking out just before sleep cycle
ended, so both men would be receiving a big surprise when they
walked through that bedroom door.

Starbuck and Apollo slowly walked arm in arm down the corridor to
Apollo's quarters, soon to become their quarters. Adama was not
surprised in the least when they told him about their new
relationship, except to find out it was new. He believed they had
been involved ever since the day they met all those yahrens ago at
the academy, so it came as a shock when they told him it
started only a secton ago. They really felt like fools to hear that.

"Geez," Starbuck said, " Commander if you  thought that, then how
many others did as well?"

"Oh not many. Just the Colonel, and I've seen Boomer shake his head
and smirk when the two of you went off together alone, as well as
some of your other friends, and of course Apollo's mother, who by
the way Starbuck, gave Athena quite the chewing out when you two
started dating. She was furious with Athena for trying to steal her
brother's boyfriend, and told her so. But Athena claimed she was
going to win you away from Apollo, and that there was
nothing her brother could do about it."

Neither man could believe what Adama just told them. Apollo was
shocked, *both* his parents, his mother chewing out his sister,
thinking she was stealing Starbuck from him, the Colonel. And their
friends, *all* of their friends. They *all* thought he and Starbuck
were involved all that time, and here the two of them were afraid to
say something to the other man, for fear of losing the best friend
he had ever had. "What dopes we were." both said together, as Adama
sent them on their way.

Apollo suddenly started laughing, and the two had to stop until he
quieted down.

"What's so funny Apollo?"

"I was just thinking about what my father said. About my mother
chewing out Athena. I always wondered why he got so mad at me every
time I called you away for help, or to go someplace with me and
you'd brake a date with her. I guess now I know."

"Well, even then I preferred to be with you."

Apollo smiled at that, then got a serious look on his face,
"Starbuck, you don't think Serina knew how we both really felt do
you?"

Swallowing Starbuck mentioned something he thought he never would,
"Well she did rush you into it after I was captured, and she wasn't
to happy to see me when Baltar let me go."

"Oh." Was all Apollo could say as they continued on to his quarters.
She knew, Apollo realized, she knew and pushed me into marrying her,
knowing it wouldn't last, and now I`ll never know why.

*****

Sheba and Cassi had the lights all down low, so it was hard to see
anything, but not too hard. They had also left the bedroom door
open, so they would hear when Apollo and Starbuck returned, which
should be any time now. They heard the door open and close, followed
by masculine giggles coming from the other room. Time to take
action.

As soon as the door closed, and the two returning warriors removed
their jackets, Starbuck pulled Apollo into a passionate embrace. As
he moved up Apollo's jaw line, kissing and gently nibbling his way
to Apollo's ear, he heard a moan. Thinking it was Apollo, he quickly
bent down to the small depression at the base of Apollo's throat,
knowing how much it drove Apollo wild.

Suddenly Apollo pushed him away and whispered, "Did you hear
something?"

"Only you moaning, my love." Starbuck whispered back.

"No Starbuck, this came from the bedroom."

Starbuck listened closely for a centon. Sure enough, there was
moaning coming from the bedroom, sexual moaning. The two looked at
each other, both very confused. It sounded like a woman, no two
women.

Slowly and quietly they made their way to the bedroom and peeked
inside. There, on top of Apollo's bed was Cassi and Sheba, kissing
and using huge dildos on each other. Each woman driving the other
one into sexual ecstasy.

The two men just stared at sight in front of them for a few centons
before turning around and sitting on the sofa.

Finally Apollo asked Starbuck, quietly so the girls wouldn't hear,
"Doesn't Cassi have private quarters of her own?"

"Yes, nice quarters too."

Apollo turned to look at the door to his bedroom for a centon.

Turning back to Starbuck he asked "If she has private quarters of
her own, why are they having sex in *our* quarters?"

All Starbuck heard was the 'our quarters' part. The rest didn't
register. "Our quarters, Apollo you really meant it when you asked
me to move in?"

Smiling Apollo answered, "Yes Starbuck, but right now we kind of
have a problem with *our* bedroom."

"Well, I guess we could use Boxey's bed. It's sort of small though."

"No. I don't want to do that."

"Yeah, you're right. Neither do I."

The moaning from the bedroom was getting louder. Both men thought it
sounded like the two women were getting close to orgasm, which meant
that shortly they would be done. But it still didn't answer Apollo's
question of why they didn't use Cassi`s quarters instead of invading
his. And how did they get in here anyway?

The moaning was driving Starbuck crazy. He could feel his erection
growing, as he imagined it was Apollo moaning like that because of
him. Unable to control himself anymore, he reached over and pulled
Apollo into a hungry embrace. Kissing his mouth hard and pushing his
tongue inside. At first Apollo wanted to protest. There were two
people in the other room for Sagan sake, but Starbuck was such a
good kisser, he kissed back in about two microns, sucking Starbucks
tongue into his mouth, forgetting about the two women making love in
the next room.

Sheba and Cassi took a break from kissing and looked at the doorway,
expecting to see two very shocked men standing there. Both were very
disappointed to find the doorway empty. Then they heard the moans.
They were coming from the living room area. They  got up off the bed
and tip toed to the door. Peeking out they saw Starbuck and Apollo
laying on the sofa. Both were naked. Starbuck had his head down at
Apollo's crotch, sucking him off, and Cassi knew exactly what he was
doing with his hand at Apollo's butt. Apollo's head was thrown back,
eyes closed, mouth
slightly open, hands on Starbucks head. It was clear to both of them
that Apollo was enjoying what Starbuck was doing. Then Apollo moaned
again.

Sheba was about to scream out at them. Yell bloody murder at what
they were doing. Run out into the hall, yelling, telling everyone
what the Galactica`s two best warriors did with each other in their
free time. But she didn't get the chance, for just as she started to
open her mouth, a big strong masculine hand wrapped around it.

Sheba tried to scream and kick out. 'Why isn't Cassi helping me?'
she thought. Then she saw Cassi. Jolly had a hold of her, one hand
on her mouth, the other around her bare breasts, holding her arms
down. Carefully Sheba moved her head to see who her captor was. She
found herself looking into the grinning face of Lieutenant Boomer.

"I suggest you two remain quiet. So Jolly and I can finish what we
came here to do." Boomer whispered in her ear.

Sheba stopped struggling when she saw the camera sitting on the
floor. Knowing full well what these two were up to. Both warriors
let go of the two naked women, giving them a good once over. They
are men after all. Boomer picked up the camera and silently went to
the door and started snapping pictures.

"Wait a centon, they will notice the flash." Sheba warned.

Jolly chuckled, "No they won't, Boomer has special film in the
camera. It can take photos in the dark without the need of a flash."

Boomer continued to take pictures of Starbuck making love to Apollo,
catching
the entire act on film.

Sheba and Cassi looked at one another, wondering why these two
wanted pictures of Starbuck and Apollo having sex.

"Cassi, do you think Boomer's got an even bigger secret than our
fallen boyfriends out there?" Sheba whispered.

Cassi grinned while replying "I don't know Sheba, but we may just be
able to use it to *our* advantage."

This made Sheba smile. At this rate they were going to have all the
male warriors eating out of the palm of their hands by the end of
the secton.

When the boys had finished, Boomer removed his personal Comm unit
from his pocket, and called Colonel Tigh. Just giving the Colonel a
simple prearranged message. "All done."

Less than a centon later Apollo's Comm unit went off. Seems he and
Starbuck were needed on the landing bay, something about their
vipers. The two dressed to leave.

"Apollo, what about the girls?" Starbuck asked.

"We'll see to them tomorrow." Apollo replied as they left.

Boomer turned to the two naked women standing before him. Holding up
the camera he said
"Now lets finish getting those other pictures."

Sheba and Cassi couldn't believe what they had just heard.

"Other pictures?" Sheba said in stunned disbelief, "You were taking
pictures of us?"

Chuckling loudly Jolly answered, "Oh yes, hot and heavy. Tigh`s
gonna love this."

"You two don't think Jolly and I would do this on our own, do you?"
Boomer grinned. "Starbuck and Apollo are our best friends, we
wouldn't do that."

"Oh no. This is a 'special' assignment for our beloved Colonel
Tigh," Jolly added.

"Yes. It seems our Colonel has a 'dirty little secret' he doesn't
want the Commander to know about." Boomer did a perfect imitation of
the Colonel.

Cassi was furious. There was no way she was going to pose for
pictures for these two, and told them so. "I've got a good mind to
go to the Commander and tell him just what went on here tonight. You
two sneaking in here to snap photographs for Colonel Tigh. I bet
Adama would be quit interested in knowing what a sick mind his aide
has, and how two of Starbucks and Apollo's best friends are helping
him fulfill his fantasies."

"Oh really," Boomer cooed, "and just how are you going to explain to
Commander Adama why you and Sheba were  in Apollo's quarters,
without his permission, having hot sex on Apollo's bed, with all
these dildos and vibrators scattered  around the room?"

"Cassi, I think we had better pose for the pictures." Sheba quietly
said.

Boomer and Jolly had helped the girls pack up all the toys they had
brought with them, and carry them back to Cassi`s quarters. They had
decided to take the photos there. Boomer had it on good authority
that the call to Apollo and Starbuck was a hoax, and the boys would
be returning soon. They spent the rest of the night taking photos of
the girls *enjoying* themselves and left. When the door closed Sheba
vowed, "We are going to get even with those two if it's the last
thing we do!"

"Oh yes, we'll get even all right. But not just with them. There is
a certain Colonel on board who's gonna get humiliated worse than we
were tonight. We just gotta make our plans." Cassi was sounding more
evil than ever before.

Starbuck and Apollo were seething. The call that sent them to the
launch bay had been a hoax. A hoax they believed had been done by
Cassi and Sheba, giving them a way out of Apollo's, and soon to be
Starbucks, quarters. When they reached their quarters they looked in
the bedroom. Sure enough the girls were gone.

"They are going to pay for this." A very angry Apollo vowed, as he
paced around the room. Unnoticed he kicked a round, small, cylinder
type container towards Starbuck, who picked it up.

"Uh, Apollo you really should keep these film containers off the
floor. I know their small but they can still trip you up."

"What are talking about, Starbuck? I don't even own a camera, why
would I have any film containers?"

Since the room was dark, and wouldn't hurt any film that might be
inside, Starbuck opened the lid. Yup, a freshly used film was
inside. Confused eyes met confused eyes as Starbuck asked, "Just
what in Hades as been going on around here tonight?"

Anger building to the boiling point Apollo replied,  "I don't know.
But I have a feeling we had better get that film developed, just to
see what's on it. I think it will answer some of our questions."

*****

Boomer and Jolly were inside Colonel Tigh`s quarters. Handing over
the film.

"You said you had five full films of Starbuck and Apollo, and
another five of Cassi and Sheba." Tigh said sternly.

"Yes...Sir...we did." Boomer nervously said, "Plus one more that
contained pictures of both couples."

Tigh paced the room, looking at the film containers. "That makes
eleven film strips gentlemen. So my question to you is, why have you
only handed me ten?"

Jolly knew they were in a stew this time. "We must have lost one
Sir."

Mocking him Tigh said, "We must have lost one Sir." Then in his best
command voice added, "Is that the best you can do? I suggest you
find out where you lost it, and get me that film. Now, before the
day is through. Thats an order *Lieutenants*."

*****

Early the next morning, Apollo and Starbuck handed Dr. Wilker the
film they had found.

"We want to know exactly what is on this film. And Doctor, you give
the photos to no one but Starbuck or me. We have a suspicion
something funny is going on around this ship."

"That's no problem Apollo. By the way, this number here on the
bottom of this container, that's the serial number. You might be
able to use it to find the owner."

Apollo didn't understand how they could find the owner of the film
by the serial number.

"It's simple Captain," Dr. Wilker explained, "About twenty yahrens
ago there was some blackmailing going on in the colonies. Seems some
of the high government officials liked to spend their free time with
partners who were not their spouses, or quite old enough to be doing
that sort of thing with an adult. Photos had been taken of some of
these officials, and used against them in order to gain money, and
other favors. Later when the blackmailers had been caught and
jailed, the new council passed a law that all film must have serial
numbers. Not only on the film itself, but also directly in the
photo. It's almost impossible to find in the developed picture,
unless you know what your looking for. This serial number must be
recorded by the
merchant who sold the film, along with the buyers name."

*****

One centar later Dr. Wilker handed Apollo the photos, "I don't think
you're going to like this Captain, someone is planning on
blackmailing you two." The doctor said.

"Yeah, well it won't do them any good. Not with Starbuck and I
planning on going public." Apollo was furious about this, and
planned on making the culprit pay. Looking at the photos he was
stunned. The first ones were of Cassi and Sheba, undressing and
getting on his bed, kissing, using dildos on each other. And then
there were a few of him and Starbuck watching them, and
sitting on the couch, which was directly in front of the door. But
it was the photos of Starbuck and himself beginning their lovemaking
of the previous night, and the ones of the girls watching them, that
really sent him over the edge.

"Come on Starbuck, I've got a feeling these two women know something
about this."

Starbuck had never seen Apollo so angry, and Apollo had one hell of
a temper.

Starbuck had trouble keeping up with his lover. Apollo could move
pretty fast when he was angry. "Apollo, slow down and wait a centon
would you?"

Apollo finally stopped and turned around, his green eyes flashing in
anger. When Starbuck caught his breath he continued, "We can't just
confront the girls, they might warn the pervert who took those
photos. Why don't we go to the Commander and enlist his help. He can
call them into his office and get the information out of them better
than we can."

Apollo stared at Starbuck, realizing what the Lieutenant said was
right he responded, "You keep talking like that and your gonna be a
Captain before the yahrens over."

*****

Commander Adama viewed the photos in silence. Finally he put them
down and looked at his son and his lover. Calmly he said, "You
really think Sheba and Cassiopeia had something to do with this?"

"Why else would they be in my quarters without my permission, having
sex on my bed, when Cassi has her own private quarters they could
use, without anyone seeing them. I think they set us up for
something, I just don't know what, or why."

Standing Adama explained, "Well Apollo, I think the why would be
jealousy, these girls did have their eyes on the both of you after
all. As for the what, only they can answer that question, as well as
who it was that took these photos."

*****

Sheba and Cassi missed their calling. They should have been
actresses. They both acted shocked at the sight of the pictures, and
the Commander as well as Apollo and Starbuck bought it. As to the
reason they were in Apollo's quarters, they felt honesty was the
best policy there and told the
truth. Adama was not to pleased with them, and they were confined to
quarters, off duty with no pay, for an entire secton.

Apollo wanted to know how they learned his security code to enter
his quarters. Adama assured Apollo that Athena would be justly
punished in her part of the plot.

*****

One Centar later, the two lovers were boarding the merchant ship. On
arrival they found that there were five stores that sold the type of
film they were looking for. They checked each store, it never fails,
they went through all five stores. The last one had sold the film.
Checking his computer the merchant found the name of the films
buyer. "That film was purchased two sectons ago by Lieutenant
Boomer."

"*WHAT*!" Apollo yelled at the same time Starbuck yelled, "*WHO*?!"

*****

Never in his life had Starbuck been this scared. Apollo was like a
mad man, ranting and raving all the way back to the Galactica.
Throwing anything he could get his hands on. Anything on the shuttle
that wasn't nailed down went flying across the cockpit. He even had
Giles and Greenbean scared half to death. Not that Starbuck wasn't
mad at Boomer himself, but he had to keep his temper in check, so he
could keep his eye on Apollo. ' Funny,' he thought, 'it's usually
Apollo
keeping my hot head cooled down.'

As soon as the shuttle landed and the doors opened, Apollo was
running across the landing bay yelling, "I AM GOING TO KILL HIM!"

Starbuck ran after Apollo, but Apollo seemed to be going faster than
a viper with its turbos engaged. And he was making poor Starbuck
more scared by the centon.

"Apollo, slow down. Calm yourself, Apollo. APOLLO!" Starbuck was
calling and yelling, but Apollo did not seem to hear him, or he
wasn't paying attention.

"I AM GOING TO KILL HIM, STARBUCK I SWEAR I WILL! THERE IS NO EXCUSE
FOR WHAT HE DID!" Apollo was screaming down the hall all the way to
the Officer's Club.

Entering the OC, Apollo stopped and looked around. No Boomer. He
spotted Bojay by the bar and ran over to him. Grabbing him by the
front of the jacket he swung poor Bojay around and started shaking
him and screaming at him, "WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS THAT SON OF A
DAGGIT? SO HELP ME I WILL KILL HIM! NOW SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE HE
IS!"

"APOLLO, CALM YOURSELF NOW!" Commander Adama could be heard yelling
from the
doorway. Starbuck was standing behind him, looking like a scared
little kid. Behind him Giles and Greenbean didn't look any better.
Both men had ran after the two from the shuttle, thinking Starbuck
was going to need their help.

Commander Adama looked straight at his son, with those eyes that
scared the pogees off even the bravest of men, but still Apollo
would not back down.

"I am going to kill him."

Across the silent room Adama ordered, "NO, you are not. Now put
Bojay down and follow me to my quarters." That said, Adama turned
and left the OC. Not looking back to see if his order was being
obeyed or not.

*****

Now it was Adama's turn to fume. Starbuck had been allowed to sit,
ordered to sit in fact, but Apollo was made to stand at attention,
while his Father/Commander gave him the worst chewing out he had
ever received in his life.

"I have never, in my life seen a more, disgraceful, disgusting,
disappointing, disobedient, displeasing, disrespectful, distressing,
disturbing, display as the one you put on today. Not mention that it
was also immature, immoral, and juvenile. I have decided that since
you want to act like a child I will punish you like a child."

Apollo's head turned quickly to look into his father's eyes. He knew
what he was in for, he just hadn't had that kind of punishment since
he was a twelve yahren old sneaking dirty books into his room. He
had to think of something and fast. "You know father, at my age,
that kind of punishment has sexual overtures to it."

Starbuck sank into his seat, trying to hide, looking for something,
anything to cover himself up with. Just so the Commander wouldn't be
able to see him. He tried the cushions, but they were too small. The
couch went all the way to the floor so he couldn't get under there.
Oh, there was just no place for a poor defenseless Colonial Warrior
to hide.

"THAT IS IT YOUNG MAN.NOW YOU HAVE REALLY MADE ME MAD. YOU DON`T
WANT ME TO TURN YOU OVER MY KNEE LIKE I DID WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD?
FINE. I DO KNOW ONE OTHER PUNISHMENT EVERY CHILD HATES MORE THAN A
GOOD SPANKING."

Adama turned and entered his turboflush, he returned carrying
something behind his back and ordered Apollo to get down on his
knees and close his eyes. Knowing he was in big trouble Apollo
obeyed. As soon as his eyes were shut his father forced his mouth
open. Then Apollo tasted the worst thing he had ever tasted in his
life. SOAP.

Starbuck sat perfectly still. Maybe that way, the Commander would
not see him. He watched the older man with a wary eye, praying he
would put the bottle of body soap away before he turned and saw
Starbuck, cringing in the corner. He could see poor Apollo. Down on
his hands and knees, gagging, wanting to spit the soap out of his
mouth, but not daring to for fear of the repercussion that would
follow. Adama had threatened to turn Apollo over his knee for the
way he acted, but would Apollo except that punishment? No, he had to
make a flip remark about it, and now look at the mess he was in.
*His father had washed his mouth out with soap.* Oh, would this
madness never end?

Finally, after making Apollo hold the soap in his mouth for a full
fifteen centons, Adama dropped a bowl on the floor at Apollo's head.
Giving him permission to spit it out. Apollo was gagging and
retching, trying to get all the soap out.

"Starbuck!" Adama ordered, "Go and get Apollo a glass of water so he
can.....clean his mouth out properly."

Starbuck did not even hesitate to get the water. There was no way he
wanted the Commander mad at him, not after what he just witnessed.
Handing Apollo the water, he could see the poor guy had been crying.
He wiped the tears away with his fingertips and kissed Apollo's
cheek.

"Now, I want both of you to return to your quarters and wait for any
further news. You will go straight to your quarters, you will not
stop anywhere along the way, you will not talk to anyone,
you will not go to the officers club, or anywhere else but to your
quarters. *Do I make myself clear?*"

"Yes Sir." Both men answered.

"Good, now go. I will see to Lieutenant Boomer."

*****

Lieutenant Boomer was hiding. He had heard Apollo yelling down the
halls, threatening to kill him. That yell had scared him so bad, he
crapped in his pants. Lords, but that was embarrassing.
A grown man, a Colonial warrior, running down the halls of a
Battlestar with crap in his pants. He finally got cleaned up, but
there was no way he was coming out of hiding. Not a good hiding
place like this. No one would think of looking for him in here. No
one would suspect he would hide in here. Starbuck maybe, well a few
sectons ago anyway, but not him. Not good old
reliable Boomer. Oh why did he take those pictures for Colonel Tigh.
He had to find a way to get out of this. Find a way for the truth to
be known. Well not all the truth. There was no way he could let
people know all the truth. What would the Commander say to him? What
would the Colonel do to him if he let the whole truth be known?

Suddenly the door opened. Standing there in all her glory was
Athena. She started screaming
"BOOMER !WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE WOMEN`S TURBOWASH?"

Boomer ran out of the turbowash and down the hall. He had crapped in
his pants again!!!!!

Boomer didn't know what to do. He had run blindly through the
Galactica. Not really paying any attention to what he was doing or
where he was going. Not realizing where he was, he had ran from end
of the ship to the other. Any crew member he got close to quickly
back away from him, crinkling their noses. At first he thought they
knew. They all knew his dirty little secret. They could see it in
his eyes.

Running onto the bridge, he again received the same reaction as in
the hall ways of the great Battlestar. People quickly stepping away,
crinkling up their noses, some even holding their noses.

He ran into Bridge officer Omega. "Phew Boomer, you stink!!! What
have you been doing, flying the shit wagon?"

"No...no, I wasn't. I don't fly no shit wagon."

Omega thought maybe Boomer had taken some weird drug, and was now
having a 'bad trip'. The man seemed agitated, even scared. He turned
to another crew member and told him take over, while he took
Lieutenant Boomer to the life center. As he grabbed Boomer's arm and
spun him around, Omega saw the source of the smell.

"Of all thats holy! Sagan Boomer, you've shit your pants!!"

*****

Boomer. Standing in front of the Commander. Dried crap still in his
pants. Commander glaring down at him.

' He knows,' Boomer thought, 'The Commander can read your mind. So
why wouldn't he know. I might as well confess. Answer all his
questions truthfully. Get this over with.'

"You know why you're in here Lieutenant. I want to know why you did
it. I want you to explain yourself."

"He told me to take the pictures. Told me what store to buy the film
at. But I had to go to another store, cause the first one was sold
out. They didn't keep records very good, if you asked them not to.
The second shop keeper did, said he would report me if I protested.
But I lost one of the used films. Thats how Apollo found out me and
Jolly took the pictures. But we took the pictures for him."

Adama stared at his Lieutenant. 'Took the pictures for him.' Who was
the him Boomer had taken these photos for? Was Boomer being
threatened into doing this? And what about 'me and Jolly,' how did
Lieutenant Jolly figure in all this? They thought it was all
Boomer's doing. But to find that Jolly was in on it, doing it for
someone else. He asked Boomer how he had gotten into the room.

"He gave us the code to open the door. Then we hid in the closet,
left it open a crack so we could see out. Then the girls came. We
took pictures of them. Undressing and doing things to each other.
Starbuck and Apollo came, we took pictures of them. We had to stop
Sheba and Cassi from yelling out at them. Then finished taking the
pictures of Apollo and Starbuck, on the
couch, having sex. Really wild sex, god is Apollo ever lucky,
Starbuck  really had him going wild. Wish I had a lover like that.
We then went to Cassi`s quarters. There we took more pictures of the
girls. Took the film to him, but one was missing. Apollo found it.
Then he found us. I heard him yelling for me, saying he would kill
me. I had to hide in the women's turbowash. Athena caught me. I had
to run away. Ran to bridge, I crapped in my pants. Twice. I am
so sorry." And poor Boomer began to cry.

Adama was flabbergasted. Boomer had been doing this for someone
else. But who and why? He had to get to the bottom of this. "Boomer,
who were you taking the pictures for, and why?"

"Why, I was taking them for Colonel Tigh of course, because he's my
master!!"

Adama could not believe what he just heard. Boomer. One of his best
warriors. Quiet, cautious Boomer. A sex slave. And to Colonel Tigh
of all people. Colonel Tigh.......what about Colonel Tigh? Not only
was he using the warriors as sex slaves, but making them take
pictures, dirty pictures. He decided to call security.

Reese couldn't believe this. Why would Commander Adama want him and
his men to come and search Colonel Tigh`s quarters. What could the
Colonel possibly have that was illegal. Well, he was about to find
out.

*****

Tigh was relaxing in his big chair. Looking at his latest pictures.
"My but Starbuck has a lovely ass, so firm and ripe. Oh how I would
love to sink into that. And Apollo, such a beautiful body. These
photos will help me greatly. Soon they will be mine. Yes, once they
know I know of their secret love affair, I will have them in the
palm of my hand. Hehheheh, hahahahah, or should I say kneeling at my
feet."

Tigh`s thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Opening the door Tigh`s eyes met those of a very angry Commander
Adama. Behind him stood Reese and his men, and of course Lieutenant
Boomer.

"Tigh you will stand aside and allow Reese and his men to search
your quarters."

Adama ushered the security team inside. Under Tigh`s protests. Adama
handed Tigh the paper, signed by each council member, giving Reese
and his men legal right to perform the search. They were looking for
pornography.

"But Adama, it's not illegal to own porn." Tigh squealed.

"It is when the porn pictures are taken without permission *or
knowledge* of the other party."

Tigh glared down at Boomer. Using his body language to tell his
slave he had been a very bad boy, and would soon suffer the
consequences. Boomer cringed. "I am sorry Master, please forgive me.
The Commander gave me no choice, I had to tell him."

Reese, who had found boxes of pornography stacked in the closet,
stared at Boomer. 'Why is Boomer calling Tigh master?' he thought to
himself, 'What in Hades in going on around here?'

Adama grabbed a box of the pictures. Inside he found photos of many
of the crew. All in various states of undress, but most were
completely naked. There were pictures of warriors in the turbowash,
some alone, most with a partner. Warriors on shuttles, masturbating,
having sex. Warriors having sex in the locker rooms, in their
quarters, and other various locations. Some were with partners of
the opposite sex, some with same sex partners. It seemed Tigh didn't
care.

"*Where are the photos of Apollo and Starbuck? I want them now.*"

Tigh quickly went and retrieved his newest photos, and handed them
to Adama. The Commander forcefully grabbed the photos from Tigh and
told Reese, "Arrest this man for.....for........illegal picture
taking or something."

"He makes us take the pictures, and he uses them to get more slaves.
He tells those in the photos that he will post them on the bulletin
board in the OC if they don't do as he says," Boomer announced in a
moment of bravery.

A secton later Colonel Tigh was convicted of blackmail and sentenced
to twenty yahrens on the prison barge. Life on the Battlestar
Galactica returned to normal. Starbuck moved in with Apollo, and
after coming to her senses and realizing who she really wanted,
Sheba moved in with Cassi. Apollo was promoted to Colonel, and
Starbuck became a Captain, and the new strike
leader. All was right in the universe.

*****

Apollo was in ecstasy. Starbuck was thrusting in and out of him hard
and fast, his hand wrapped around Apollo's rock hard cock, pumping
him in time with each thrust. Apollo moaned his lovers name, begging
him not to stop. Laser beams danced across his eyes as his orgasm
burst out of him, shooting sperm all over his stomach and chest and
down Starbucks hand. His loud moans and the tightening of his
muscles soon had Starbuck coming deep inside him.

*****

In another part  of the great Galactica, another set of lovers were
moving in the night. Sweat covered body caressed sweat covered body.
Lips kissed, tongues met, and sperm was released in sweet ecstasy.

"Well now, wasn't that the best sex you ever had?"

"Oooohhhhhh yes, Master Adama." Boomer replied.

The End
