Chapter 13: The tickling match

"Hey leggo."

"Stop squirming."

"Never. Never will I submit so easily Duo Maxwell," Hilde said indignantly

"Is that so little bird?" He asked her momentarily halting his tickling assault on her. She nodded, mischief clear in the blue depths. He smirked at her and started his assault again.

"And I will make you."

"Even if it takes you the whole day?"

"Why of course!"

"hey, leggo. Stop, Duo!"

"Do you give up?"

"Nooooo... Hey stop that…hehehehe… Its cheating. No grabbing from behind."

"I already grabbed you. Whose gonna stop me?" He asked her, triumph evident in his eyes. He stopped his tickling for a fraction of a second and his hold around her waist loosened a bit. It was enough for her to turn around in his embrace.

"Now Leibhan, its my turn."

Suddenly it dawned onto Duo as to what he had let her do. His expression quickly changed from triumph to a deer-caught-in-the-headlights look. Hilde almost laughed pout loud and launched into a no holds barred assault on Duo. And it turned out that he was even more ticklish than her.

"Now who's the one who is ticklish?" She asked, stopping for a while to catch her breath.

"Me, and one thing babe, never stop while you attack, big mistake."

But before Duo could start tickling her, she started tickling him that sent him into another fit of giggles and laughter.

"Let…me…breathe." He managed to blurt out between peals of laughter.

She stopped and flopped down on the carpet. He flopped down beside her. They were in Hilde's apartment. The one that she shared with Dorothy.

"You are ruthless," he told her.

She just looked up at him with smiling eyes, but she saw something that she hadn't expected to see there. His eyes were clouded. She immediately jumped up, but her caught her wrist and pulled her down.

"Duo, no," she told him.

He just ignored her and went on, "and stubborn…and that's why I love you."

She opened her mouth to say something, but before she could say anything, he silenced her with a searing kiss. She resisted at first. Just for the sake of being stubborn. She felt him smile against her lips, and just as suddenly as it had come, the kiss stopped, and she found herself missing the feel of his lips on hers. She almost leaned onto him.

"Aren't we stubborn?" he whispered against her lips. "But I love the challenge." And once again before she could say anything, he kissed her again. But this time, he was in for a surprise, but a pleasant one. She opened up to him readily. His tongue hungrily plundered her mouth and she followed her lead. But once again, he ended the kiss far too soon for her liking. And once again he whispered against her lips, "And pretty impatient too." And he smiled. "and should…"

This time Hilde silenced him. She kissed him and he readily gave in. While they were kissing, their hands wandered around of their own accord. After a long, long moment, they finally broke the kiss for the much needed air.

"You are unpredictable," he told her, rebraiding his hair that she had unbraided, during the whole kissing escapade.

"And you like me that way," She informed him, while straightening her shirt.

"True, too true. I wouldn't have it any other way."

She laughed out loud.

"I still remember how much I had to work to get you to admit to me that you loved me too." He said seriously.

" I just wanted to make you work for it," She said playfully. " I probably fell in love with right since the moment I saw you."

"And you still made me work for it!" he said incredulously.

She just nodded. "Couldn't have you playing with my feelings, could I?" she said.

"Should have known." He mumbled to himself. "I try to make a lady love me and end up making a fool of myself."

"Aww, don't feel so sad. I liked every bit of it and loved you even more, if that is possible."

"Serious?" He asked. He looked like a child who had been told that his lost puppy wasn't really lost, but was just kept hidden.

"Serious." She said and gave him a teasing kiss.

"Hey that wasn't enough," he said.

"My, my, aren't we a bit impatient today?" she said teasingly.

"Look who's talking." With that he grabbed her and pulled her into his lap (they were sitting down on the carpet) and started tickling her.

"Hey, not again!"

The tickling match continued for a while. After a while both of them lay down on the carpet exhausted.

"Boy, you do know how to scream," Duo told Hilde when he had caught his breath.

She giggled.

"It's a defence mechanism," she said while trying to fix her unruly mop of hair.

"I like it that way."

"What?" she asked him. She had no clue as to what he was talking about.

"Your hair. It gives you a wild air." He said with his eyes closed.

"So what are you suggesting? I'm a wild animal?" she asked him.

"You could say so," he said, his eyes still closed. Had they been open he would have seen what was coming at him, but since they were closed, what came next came as a complete surprise.

"OOOF"

"You say wild, huh?" she asked from her position on his chest.

He smiled at her and held her hands.

"See what I mean?" he asked her and pulled her down, so now she was practically sprawled over him. When she noticed the position that they were in, she blushed. He just saw the look on her face and laughed. He pulled her in another kiss and though she tried to resist at first, she soon gave in, she couldn't do anything much anyways.

"Ahem…"

Both of them sat up and when they saw who was at the door, both of them blushed. Jade was standing there in the doorway, blushing slightly.

"I'm sorry, I was looking for Dorothy and you forgot to close the door. I'm sorry," she said apologetically.

Duo recovered first. He smiled at her. They had gotten over their fight a long time ago, neither of them were the type to keep grudges.

"No problem, just a little tickling match." He said with a grin.

"Sure didn't look that way to me," Jade said.

"Got a little side-tracked," Hilde answered, her blush deepening.

"So who won?"

"Huh…?" Both Hilde and Duo said together.

"I asked you who won."

"It was a draw."

"Oh! Okay. I should be leaving now."

She left immediately and closed the door behind her.

"So now can we get back to what we were doing?" Duo asked Hilde innocently.

"What were we doing?" She asked in the same tone, though her eyes said something else.

"Looks like someone needs a little reminder," he said slyly and held her in his arms when the door opened again.

"Get a room you two," came a monotone from the doorway. This had to be Heero.

"Go away," Duo said.

"I have to talk to you baka," Heero said.

"Not now."

"Right now."

"Let me go Duo. Finish your talking. I'll see if I can find Relena."

"She isn't here. Had to attend one of her meetings," Heero informed her.

"So now you are the one stalking her, eh?" Duo said.

He only got the death glare as an answer. But it was an answer enough and it was enough to make Duo grin even wider.

"Anywho… so what did you want to talk about?"

It didn't take long for them to finish talking, since it was Heero doing most of the talking and Duo doing most of the listening. Hilde was there all the time. Before Heero left he said, " And I suggest you close the door before you continue."

========================================================= =======
