She looked into my eyes with such determination and
said yes she would be able to handle it and then I leaned in and
kissed her.” Virgil closed his eyes in pain as Ulysses
slammed him hard against the wall again, “she was hesitant
for a minute but she returned the kiss and when it ended I told her
we would see,” Virgil said and Ulysses looked at his friend
with anger in his eyes. “I can’t believe you did
that,” he said, “Ulysses look, you needed to know and
if you want to know for sure, you know what has to be done,”
Virgil said and Ulysses looked into his eyes as he shook his head.
“No, no way in Tartarus am I about to let you have sex with
the woman I’m about to marry,” Ulysses said then walked
away when Virgil grabbed the arm of his shirt pulling on Ulysses so
that he was looking at him. “Ulysses this is a part of
yourself, you can not hide from Xena. She is your soul mate and
with a connection like that, you’re going to want to share
all of yourself with her. Why do you think you lost control so
easily today?” Virgil asked and Ulysses let out a breath as
he kicked a box that was in front of him.

 

 

“I’ll tell you what your problem is,
you’ve been hiding this for so long you’re afraid to
let this part of yourself out. You’re afraid that she might
accept you and that scares the Tartarus out of you because you
haven’t had to totally share yourself with anyone like that
besides me,” Virgil said and Ulysses looked down as he
listened to his friend talk. “But you don’t need to be
afraid with her Ulysses, she is a great woman and she loves you,
she loves you completely. Trust her, trust her with all of
you,” Virgil said and he looked at Ulysses for a moment more
before he left the closet and Ulysses continued to stand there as
he thought about what Virgil said, kicking the box in front of him
again. He left the closet and strolled down the halls as he thought
about what everyone, including himself, was saying about the
situation.

 

 

He went to see someone about something then handled
some things and before he knew it, it was time for dinner and he
ate dinner with his father and Virgil, the women were no where to
be found. They hung out for an hour or two and then Ulysses headed
to his bedroom where he saw Xena was just walking into the room,
“hey,” he said and Xena turned and grinned at him.
“Hey,” she said and before she could get into the door
he leaned in and kissed her softly, “what was that
for?” Xena asked and Ulysses grinned at her, “I just
missed you,” he said and Xena smiled at him as she walked
into the room, greeted by Gemini. She headed to the bedroom and
when she entered the room she stopped and looked at the bed then
looked at Ulysses who was playing with Gemini. “You got a new
bed?” Xena asked and Ulysses nodded, “yea,” he
said and Xena grinned at him as he walked up to her and she met him
half way. “Have I told you how much I love you?” Xena
asked and Ulysses grinned at her, “you have,” he said
and they leaned in for a soft, passionate kiss and when the kiss
ended they looked into each other’s eyes as Xena caressed
Ulysses’ cheek.
