Duo awoke to the feeling of a smooth naked chest pressed against his own equally naked chest surprised him. When he opened his eyes to see who he was pressed against, he gasped at the sight of Heero's sleeping face. The sight of him so calm and at ease for once was a shock, since he always seemed so tense and calculating all the time. As Duo sat up slowly he took in the sight of many different bottles of alcohol spread out all over the floor.
He immediately tensed as he realized that the events from the night before were a bit foggy in his memory, so he had no clue what they had done. “Calm down Duo, we didn't do anything. Just slept.” Heero said from his side staring up at him with dark blue eyes. It was as if he had read the long haired man's mind.
“That's good.” he replied with a relieved sigh, as he felt the other man stand from the bed and gather his things mechanically, for a shower.
“Yes I suppose it would be such a horrible thing to have slept with me.” Heero said coldly, letting his emotions wear through as he left the room quickly, not allowing Duo time to respond.
Duo felt a slight pang in his chest at the coolness of the words and how such things affected his image of Heero's perfect control over how he felt. It had been so long though since he had been in contact with the other man though, Duo just took it as the fact that a lot of things had changed. So with a defeated sigh, Duo placed his arm over his eyes and fell back onto Heero's bed.
~~~~~
Duo wandered aimlessly around the colony, Heero hadn't came back to his room after awhile so the long haired man decided to take a shower of his own and check more of the place out. Room's were small, but the area for the children to play on both sides was enormous. “May I help you?”a feminine voice asked from behind him as he looked around for Heero.
“Uh yes, I'm looking for Heero Yuy.” Duo said turning to the woman standing behind him and smiling sheepishly.
She smiled sweetly at him and bowed, “Ah, well he is busy with working and a hangover at the moment. My name is Venus Lefleur. It's nice to finally meet you Duo Maxwell.” she said with her smile still in place.
“I uh, you're Heero's sister aren't you? How did you know my name?” he asked scratching the back of his head, shooting her an equally bright smile.
“Yeah I am, and I knew because I know all of my lovely clones original names. You're the only one not to visit, and Solo has always been a bit resentful of that.” Venus explained getting a slight nod in reply before she continued, “Have you met Solo yet?” she asked leaning forward to better look at him.
“Oh yeah, such a feisty thing he is. Yelled and screamed before running off and placing a mental wall up so I couldn't follow.” Duo replied not loosing the happiness of his mask.
“Well at least he's getting a bit of control over his anger, would you have come about a year ago I do believe he would've thrown you across the colony.” she said with a slight laugh, not realizing that Duo blanched quite a bit at the realization.
“He can do that?” he asked a bit shakily.
“Well of course, he can do a lot worse than that with the mental capabilities he was given. These children Mr. Maxwell were designed with the intent of being used as weapons for the war one day, do not doubt that any of them are less then deadly.” Venus said, her voice not betraying her emotions.
“I-I see... it looks like you've got quite a place here, I mean it's simply amazing.” Duo said looking around appreciatively at the surrounding area.
“Yes, well it was just an idea at first. I never really thought that I was going accomplish it on my own in the first place, so I wasn't originally going to do it. I was checking up on Heero though, like I did regularly to make sure he was alright. I had seen that he hadn't found his place in life, so I decided to confront him, I mean I thought his training might have been a bit too severe for him to move on from missions. So this was the perfect solution for mine, and his problems.” with a soft sigh she looked down allowing her hair to fall over her face.
“Oh, I'm glad he's found his way.” Duo mumbled looking away from her thoughtfully.
“Why are you here Duo?” she asked breaking him from any thoughts he could possibly have.
“I missed my friend of course I wanted to check in on him!” Duo replied automatically and with a bright smile.
“You're not telling a whole truth.” Venus replied, that was before a happy blonde tapped on her shoulder pleasantly to catch her attention. “Quatre!” she greeted happily turning and hugging him, his clone was standing next to him with his arms crossed over his chest, a rather peeved look on his face. Duo almost didn't recognize him since he wore all black, eyeliner lining his eyes, but above that was that his hair was dyed bright blue.
“It's so nice to see you Venus, sorry me and Trowa didn't announce that we were coming before hand but we just sort of made the tiniest detour instead of going home.” Quatre said with a soft smile, he was dressed in a proper black suit which dwarfed the man's size.
“Are you going to ask, or did you have no point in dragging me over here?” Alain growled slightly from behind him breaking the mood of the pleasantries being exchanged.
“Oh yes, well me and Trowa were wondering if after we leave, could we possibly take the boys with us this time?” Quatre said getting right to the matter he had meant to discuss.
“Actually, me and Heero are almost finished with the design for the bracelets they can where to leave. So if you stay about a week and a half then we'll have them finished and they can leave for a bit. Just Alain and Tamas right?” she asked getting a tiny nod in reply as they all forgot Duo standing right there, all except Alain who was taking him in with severe scrutiny.
“What?” Duo asked after a moment, the heavy gaze that Quatre himself did not have was making his skin itch.
“Nothing, you're Solo's... original is all.” he said turning his attention away from the man.
“So you're friends?” Duo asked not letting the conversation drop that easily.
“Of course, we're best friends. That's why I must admit my equal dislike of you.” he said coldly, getting Quatre's attention his anger was making the blonde's spaces heart clench.
“Alain, you shouldn't say things like that. You don't even know Duo.” the blonde said softly in his everlasting sweetness watching blue eyes roll at him. Alain squeaked softly as an invisible force seem to restrain his arms.
“He's right don't be so judgmental, you do not know the full situation.” a teenage Trowa mumbled in the boys ear as he slowly appeared before them. Catching his bearings on the situation; Alain's appearance went from shocked to angry as he elbowed the other teen in his stomach.
“Don't touch me, I am still mad at you! You dyed my hair blue damn it!” Alain glared moving away from Tamas.
“Aw, you're still mad about that? I told you already, Bao was the one that convinced us to do it.” Tamas said with a pout, but knowing that the other boy's anger wasn't lessening any since there was a vine snaking it's way around his leg.
“You shouldn't have listened to him then!” Alain turned and glared yelling at him.
“Aw, you know how convincing he can be.” Tamas said in his own self defense, not getting anywhere as the vines continued up his legs, Duo stood to the side silently afraid to make a noise.
“Alain stop that right now, you're frightening our newest child.” Heero said sternly from behind Duo, with his arms crossed over his chest as he watched Alain slowly withdraw his leafy weapon. Looking over at the blond boy standing behind Heero with wide blue eyes staring back at Alain frightened, the older boy's whole demeanor seemed have melted.
“Super kawaii!” Alain squealed moving forward more quickly than they boy could react, as he wrapped his arms around the tiny blond in a tight hug.
“God you are so bipolar!” Tamas yelled getting a glare shot at him from the blue haired boy.
“What's his name Heero?” Quatre asked, since Venus had left to go do some other chore that was calling to her.
“He said his name was Cloud, I think he's a healer from the readings we got on the scale.” Heero explained, also ignoring Duo as if he wasn't there. The long haired man took this time to stand back and watch the group, remembering how they did the same in their schools back in the war. Like they were their own small family.
It had been years though, and he had ignored his 'family' for so long in an attempt to create one of his own not seeing what was right in front of him. It had started with Heero, that was true enough but he separated from everyone else soon enough also. Everyone's lives seemed to have progressed so smoothly, they were all happy and it all happened while he was trying to find his own happiness, without them.
Which only proved to make himself that much more unhappy, he knew now though he should have never left his family. He should have stayed and been happy, he could've even had kids like he wanted. After all Heero now owned a whole colony of orphans which left him with more kids than needed.
“We're running out of rooms again.” Heero said with a sigh pinching the bridge of his nose, the sign of an oncoming headache.
“Did I not donate enough money for that?” Quatre asked worriedly his space heart clenching a bit.
“No no, that's not it, they're being built it's just a lot of them aren't finished.” Heero reprimanded quickly, watching the tiny form of Cloud being looked over by the boy in front of him. He adorned an all white attire of a plain t-shirt, and pants. It was what all the orphans started out in.
“Quatre would have a heart attack if he owned a place like this, his poor little sensitive space heart couldn't handle the worry over so many kids.” Trowa commented with a smile stepping behind Quatre and wrapping his arms around the blonde. “It's nice to see you Heero, what is Duo doing here? I'm sorry I must ask.”
“He came to visit me, and as always the pleasure is all mine. The children love when you two visit. They don't see many other faces in this place.” Heero said as Duo took the hint and tried to blend into the background, only he found himself being stopped from doing so.
“Your the one who abandoned us, now you will deal with the consequences.” a voice in the back of his head hissed, and he knew immediately that it was Solo who was speaking and also placing invisible bonds on him. “We have a new guest, may I show him around.” Solo asked smiling far too pleasantly for him to be up to any good, Heero immediately caught on and glared.
“Let Duo go.” he said firmly getting an innocent smile from the boy. “Solo, do so now or I will make sure to have you punished.” rolling his eyes and sighing Solo released his mental hold on the boy, he didn't like being stripped of his powers. Nor did he like being put into a room by himself for a week, it just wasn't his idea of a fun time.
“Sorry Hee-chan.” Solo apologized looking at his feet as he kicked the ground with the tip of his shoe, Duo took notice to his little clones nickname as he remembered it to be his own back in the wars.
“Thanks Heero.” the long haired man said scratching the back of his head with a sheepish smile.
“How have you been Duo?” Quatre spoke first, not being one to hold a grudge since the sadness always effected his space heart.
“Ah, not so good. I'll live though! How's everything been on your end Quat?” he asked a false smile that fooled everyone but the young clone who was now shooting him a glare.
“Stop smiling like that, false happiness is the same as lying to everyone around you!” a voice hissed in his mind and continued to hold his smile for his friend.
“Shut up you damned brat no one asked you to comment!” Duo shot back hoping the boy could hear his thoughts as well, he got his answer as his clone crossed his arms over his chest with a 'hmph'.
“I've been fine, Trowa too I think he's getting a little too used to the pampering I give him though as he's starting to act like a regular house cat. Which I'm not really complaining about.” Quatre replied with a short laugh feeling Trowa's grip tighten on him. “By the way I would like to note that despite how lovely it is to feel such hatred between you and Solo could you please stop you're giving me a headache.”
“Sorry Quat.” Duo apologized bowing his head slightly in shame, Solo did the same as Cloud moved over to Duo and tugged on his sleeve, a hand was on his stomach.
“Excuse me Mr. I'm hungry.” he said staring up at the man with wide blue eyes, his stomach growling for good measure. Duo looked up at Heero questioningly wondering what he should do but got no answer from the man's stoic features.
“You do know how to feed something other than yourself right? And you know where the kitchen is you do not need my help with this one Duo.” Heero replied in his naturally cold voice.
“Yeah, come on kid let's you something to eat.” Duo said finally taking a small hand into his own and leading the boy to the kitchen where it was quieter, and away from ridiculing eyes. At least this child was yet to be mad at him, although Duo assumed it was only a matter of time before that happened also.
Picking up the small, and overly light child Duo sat him onto a chair/stool that lined what looked like a bar, but without the alcohol. Quickly he began to search though the fridge for food and found them in no shot supply, as what looked like a normal refrigerator was merely a door that led into a huge walk in cold box.
“Hey Cloud what do you want to eat? It looks like they anything you can think of.” Duo asked looking back at the blond boy who was currently occupied with everything around him.
“I don't know, I wasn't allowed to pick before so I never knew what I was eating really.” the tiny voice replied making the man sigh at the thought, as he picked out something that looked good and quick before popping it into the oven.
“I hope you don't mind waiting a little bit for your food while it's cooking, you must want to get up and go play with the other kids huh?” Duo asked smiling for real for once, watching as the boy looked at him oddly.
“They're scary.” he replied calmly pulling his small legs to his body and hugging them tightly.
“Not once you get used to them, you'll see they're all really nice.” Duo replied sitting down next to Cloud as he shook his fluffy blonde hair.
“They were all really mean to you though.” Cloud said bowing his head and speaking lowly.
“I... that's my fault though. I messed up really badly and they're just mad right now, they'll be fine though.”
“You think if I do something wrong they'll be mean to me too?” Cloud asked tears forming in his large crystal clear blue eyes.
Shaking his head Duo reached out and wiped the tears away gently, “No of course not, 'cause unlike me you got the whole cute puppy eyes thing going for you.” Duo replied earning a small giggle from the boy as the bell to signal the food was done chimed.
~~~~~
Duo smiled happily as he shut the room to Cloud's door, the small boy had finally fallen asleep, he had been so stressed from the change he needed this sleep. Heero was there when he turned around making the long haired man's heart jump into his throat from shock. “Heero really you need to learn to make some noise when you walking behind someone.” Duo said placing a hand over his heart in over dramatization.
“It's kind of hard to do on grass.” Heero pointed out with a smirk pointing to the covered ground. “I wanted to thank you for your help, he was hiding behind me but he was still a little scared I think.”
“Haha, it's no problem. I couldn't help myself he kept giving me that sad look, it's like Quatre couldn't tell him no with that.” Duo said as they both began to walk toward where their bed rooms were.
“Hn.” came the noncommittal reply making Duo laugh softly.
“I suppose it's true old habits die hard.” Duo said shaking his head earning a smirk from the other.
“You would know wouldn't you? After all you're still hiding behind that happy mask of your's aren't you?” Heero said darkening the mood as Duo got silent not looking at the other man. “Why did you really come here Duo? What happened?” Heero asked stopping the other man as he himself stopped. Violet eyes refused to meet with blue ones though as they both stayed silent.
After a moment the short haired man figured out that he wasn't getting an answer using conventional methods so he tried again. “Stop hiding already, I could tell something was wrong the moment you got here, and Quatre could too. If Solo saw something though he's not telling 'cause he's still mad and I want to know now Duo!”
“I shouldn't have come here.” Duo murmured softly shaking the grasp on his arm off as he attempted to make a break for his room. His actions were put to a halt as the smaller japanese man tackled him to the ground, pinning his hands above his head with inhuman strength.
“You're not running this time, I want to know.” Heero growled low under his breath, Duo still succeeded in avoiding his vision. Feeling frustration that only Duo could invoke in him, the blue eyed man grabbed chin roughly to force violet to look at blue. The motions were sealed by a searing hot kiss, which made the long haired man's eyes widen, but he didn't resist instead he responded.

“Haha, it's no problem. I couldn't help myself he kept giving me that sad look, it's like Quatre couldn't tell him no with that.” Duo said as they both began to walk toward where their bed rooms were.
“Hn.” came the noncommittal reply making Duo laugh softly.
“I suppose it's true old habits die hard.” Duo said shaking his head earning a smirk from the other.
“You would know wouldn't you? After all you're still hiding behind that happy mask of your's aren't you?” Heero said darkening the mood as Duo got silent not looking at the other man. “Why did you really come here Duo? What happened?” Heero asked stopping the other man as he himself stopped. Violet eyes refused to meet with blue ones though as they both stayed silent.
After a moment the short haired man figured out that he wasn't getting an answer using conventional methods so he tried again. “Stop hiding already, I could tell something was wrong the moment you got here, and Quatre could too. If Solo saw something though he's not telling 'cause he's still mad and I want to know now Duo!”
“I shouldn't have come here.” Duo murmured softly shaking the grasp on his arm off as he attempted to make a break for his room. His actions were put to a halt as the smaller japanese man tackled him to the ground, pinning his hands above his head with inhuman strength.
“You're not running this time, I want to know.” Heero growled low under his breath, Duo still succeeded in avoiding his vision. Feeling frustration that only Duo could invoke in him, the blue eyed man grabbed chin roughly to force violet to look at blue. The motions were sealed by a searing hot kiss, which made the long haired man's eyes widen, but he didn't resist instead he responded.
