Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Adventures of the Little Green Bear ❯ Sharing Secrets ( Chapter 11 )

Another mission, another room, another bed. Lately it had been the only way to keep track of the time. And even Heero had to admit that it was becoming tiresome. Two things kept things it from being utter agony...Duo and the little green bear. And both were currently in the room with him. Heero dropped his duffel and looked around the dingy motel room. It was the best they had been able to do, but it was small, and there was only the one bed. At least it was a double.

Both boys were so exhausted that they barely spoke. Heero didn't even argue when Duo snagged the first shower and took forever. He didn't complain when his own shower was luke-warm and then cold. He didn't complain when he came out and found Duo asleep already, wearing only boxers, hogging the bed, his hair taking up the space that his splayed limbs didn't.

Heero sighed, pulled on spandex shorts to sleep in, and grabbed the little green bear. With a tenderness that he never would have dreamed of showing his partner when he was awake, he gently swept the wealth of hair aside, then climbed onto the bed himself. Heero forced himself to lie down with his back to Duo. Then with his last conscious movement, he snuggled the little green bear close and slept.

Duo came slowly awake with a feeling of contentment, which almost immediately jerked him to full awareness because it was such a rare feeling these days. He started to catalog sensations, and was sure, positive even, that the warm body snuggling against him had to be Heero. He cracked one eye open and confirmed a tousled head of dark brown hair on his chest. Yes, that was Heero.

Warm breath touched his chest, and Duo had to firmly control his shiver. He closed his eyes and implored Heaven for some self-control. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the little green bear leaning against Heero's pillow. For a moment, he toyed with the idea that the bear looked like a cross between smug and forlorn, then snorted. He was definitely getting carried away. But looking down at Heero again, Duo paused in thought.

"Well, Deadhead, you've turned him into a snuggler. Guess I gotta thank you."

He thought he had spoken softly, but Heero stirred. Duo grinned as Heero realized what he'd done and leapt to his feet. "Who were you talking to?"

"No one." Duo winked at the bear. It would be their little secret.

Um, whatch y'all think? Sap seemed easiest with LGB today, for some reason. I'm on a roll! Hurray! *dances off happily to work on unfinished fics*
