Author's Notes: I made a pretty sad mistake in the last part, and I thank the person who pointed it out to me. I had named Une as the cleaning woman, and she isn't. I'm not sure why I did that, but the woman's name is Darla, and she is an original character. Sorry.
This is a fusion with the book: So Worthy My Love by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss. While there will be no text reproduced here, the story line will follow the book's almost exactly, any changes made not too drastic.

Bonds of Love
Part 13
"And this...Duo, I knew that color would be beautiful on you."
The boy blushed with obvious pleasure and Heero watched from across the room, taking in how bright he was. He'd ducked his head, but he could see Duo's grin when he finally glanced up at Wufei. The two of them were completely absorbed in Duo's outfit, but he didn't mind as it gave him the opportunity to look as well. And what the man said was true, his continual compliments well deserved as Heero too thought the boy kept getting more and more lovely.
"I usually wear black," Duo said, meeting the man's eyes. His smile widened a bit as he was careful to focus on Wufei. The captain had come back just that morning, and Duo doubted if he'd ever been so happy to see someone. Since it was impossible to avoid Heero completely, he'd been glad to have someone to talk to. But it didn't help that much as he could feel those eyes on him at that very moment.
"Yes," Wufei nodded, his dark eyes sparkling. "And the color definitely suits you, but this." He ran a hand over the silk shirt Duo wore, barely feeling the boy's arm beneath before pulling back. "It matches your eyes." The boy laughed, and Wufei turned, glancing back at the table near the fireplace. His eyes narrowed for a moment when he caught sight of the intense way Heero was watching them, then he lifted his chin. Stepping away from the boy, he got his friend's attention before glancing at Duo again. "I'm not sure I should leave you here any longer." Duo blinked, and he gave a wry smile, his eyes flicking toward Heero again. "If you keep getting prettier, you may become too much of a temptation for Heero."
Duo looked before he thought about it, and he was frozen for a moment, dark blue eyes staring into his. Tearing away, he managed to snort softly, a weak smile curving his lips. "I wouldn't worry about that," he laughed quickly. "Heero's much too busy thinking about his beloved Relena. After all the trouble he went to." Wufei smiled, and Duo lay a hand on the man's offered arm, letting himself be escorted to the table. The black-haired captain pulled a chair out for him, and he sat down, still keeping a smile on his face. He glanced at Heero as Wufei sat down, and he blinked, uncomfortable that he couldn't read the man's expression. They hadn't spoken for days, but he couldn't believe the man had forgotten the encounter; especially when he felt he was being devoured by that gaze. "Nothing to say, Heero?"
He didn't so much as blink, his eyes swallowing the boy. It was obvious Duo was trying to taunt him into something, but he wasn't interested. Heero wasn't interested in verbal games, especially since the boy had been ignoring him up until now. To give Duo credit, he didn't know how to deal with what had happened any more than the boy did. Despite his lust, he knew that it was a good thing they'd stopped. While he wasn't a nobleman, Duo's father had been a very respected man, and he understood that the boy wouldn't willingly disgrace himself. Unfortunately, that didn't leave much of an alternative for Heero and he didn't think the boy was up to hearing his proposal just yet. The fact that Wufei was planning his trip in two day's time didn't help matters either.
"You're in an odd mood," Duo said softly, a cool chill moving over his back. He turned his head a bit and saw that Wufei was watching him with one eyebrow raised, and he smiled at the man. Leaning forward, he took a tray of delicacies from the table and offered it to the black-haired man with an impish grin. "Care for a sweetmeat, Wufei? I simply adore your chef."
"To no one else would I have sent him," Wufei said solemnly, selecting one. "But I can't have you go hungry," his eyes narrowed, and a smile curved his lips, "You're much too thin."
"Enough of these and I'll be as big as the cook." The man laughed softly, and Duo smiled, pleased that he'd managed to lighten the mood a bit. Then he held his expression, turning to Heero to offer him the tray. The man stared at him again, and Duo felt like groaning, well aware that the long looks weren't lost on Wufei. Then Heero dropped his eyes to the offered sweets and he sighed.
"Actually," Heero said slowly, his eyes flicking up to Duo's as he took one, "I've been craving something sweet...for a long time now." Holding the boy's gaze, he took a small bite, violet eyes widening as Duo stared at his mouth. Finishing it off, he heard Wufei clear his throat, and he glanced to the man, raising an eyebrow.
"Well," Wufei murmured, not quite glaring at his friend as he pushed back in his chair. "I brought something." Duo turned in his seat, and he enjoyed the curiosity in the boy's eyes. Reaching into a pocket on the inside of his vest, he pulled out a small bundle, unwrapping the white handkerchief slowly. He didn't show what he had, crossing the room till he stood in the doorway. Duo followed quickly, and he sent a smile over his shoulder. "It's mistletoe," he said softly, tying the stem so it hung over them. "The druids believed that kissing under a mistletoe inevitably led to marriage."
Wary, Duo looked from the small, seemingly harmless white berries to the dark-eyed man. "They did?"
"Yes," Wufei nodded, stepping forward. "Tell me, Duo. Would you hold to the custom if I were to kiss you?" Violet eyes widened, but he didn't wait for an answer, an arm curving around the boy's waist as he drew him close. He vaguely heard the sound of a chair being pushed back, then he kissed him, brushing Duo's soft lips. Lifting his head, he took in the boy's wide eyes with a pleased expression. "Are we engaged now?"
"I...no!" Pulling away, Duo let out a quick breath, shaking his head as he tried to smile at the man. "Of course not..." Suddenly he felt horrible for having played up to the man, and he felt as if his back were on fire; he could feel a dark glare scorching his skin without even looking to where Heero was. "Wufei, don't be ridiculous."
Smiling slowly, Wufei brushed the knuckles of one hand over Duo's cheek. "Well, then. I suppose I'll have to settle for that...for now. Sleep well, Duo."
His breath was still quick, but Duo turned, following the man's progress as he climbed the stairs to the room he was staying in. The burn in his cheeks told him he was still blushing, but he quickly forgot his embarrassment, and his guilt, as his shoulders were caught and he was turned roughly. "Heero." The man was glaring at him, and he nearly flinched from the tight hold on his shoulders. For good reason, he was suddenly very nervous.
Heero didn't speak for a minute, his rage still blazing through him. He'd nearly killed Wufei, and he wanted nothing more than to take his anger out on the suddenly skittish boy. Instead, he slowly trailed his eyes up, glancing from the small plant back to Duo. The boy's violet eyes seemed to grow wider than humanly possible, and Duo gulped audibly. "We must honor tradition, right?" He didn't give the boy a chance to respond as he jerked him forward, his mouth bearing down on Duo's.
He kissed the boy with bruising force, pulling back almost immediately. Duo seemed dazed, and he gasped a quick breath. Heero's eyes latched onto his open mouth and he dove for it, tongue thrusting inside as his arms wrapped around the boy's slender waist. Duo seemed to forget his decision quickly, kissing him back and encouraging him. One arm curved upward, his hand closing around the boy's thick braid as he rubbed his other palm against the small of Duo's back, fingers tracing his waistband. The boy pulled away for a quick breath, then he pressed forward again, fingers digging into Heero's shirt.
A loud humph broke them from their embrace, and Heero's fists clenched as he whirled to glare at the woman who stood behind them. He was about to curse at her when Duo stepped forward and he blinked at the dark tint in those eyes, contrasting with the boy's furious blush.
"I am *very* displeased with your manners," Duo said coldly, his own embarrassment surpassed by pure fury. He knew the woman had no reason to respect him, especially since she'd just caught him playing the whore once more. But it was inexcusable for a servant to show such disrespect of her lord and he could tell that Heero was included in her derogatory gaze. "You will show proper respect, do you understand?"
Darla nearly sneered at the presumptuous boy, but her sense of self-preservation kept her calm. Looking past the boy, she took in the furious glare Heero was sending her and bowed her head quickly. "Forgive me, Lord Yuy, for...interrupting. I'll just clear the table now."
Turning, Duo followed the woman with his eyes, then he looked at Heero, reading the hunger in the man's dark blue eyes. "Heero..." He sighed, shaking his head slowly, a small pained smile marring his face. Not speaking, he walked past the man, not stopping till he reached his room. There wasn't anything he could think of to say to the man, once again his baser instincts had gotten the better of him. //This can't keep happening. Not only is it unfair to Wufei, but Heero...I can't keep leading him on like this. I won't be his lover, I won't!//

He sighed, tilting his head as warm lips move over his neck, hot kisses sending sparks of fire through his skin. Warm hands caressed his chest, fingers massaging his sides and he opened his mouth, kissing the man. Wrapping his arms around the man's strong back, he leaned into the embrace, warmth rising inside him as he was held close. Then the hands left his back and his wrists were taken suddenly, the grip tight enough to bruise and his eyes flew open. A face, hidden in shadows moved towards him and he shook his head suddenly, struggling to pull away.
Something solid hit his back, and the man pressed forward, a hard body digging into him and Duo gasped, turning his head aside. He tried to cry out, but he couldn't move. His hands were released and he hit the man with both fists, his heart pounding painfully in his chest when the blows didn't faze him at all. Then his face was gripped, turned towards that dark face and he stared in horror as only glints were visible in the shadow. Closing his eyes, he made a mournful sound as his mouth was forced open, the man kissing him. He gasped when his face was released, but he didn't dare look, not wanting to see those glowing eyes.
"Duo..."
His eyes snapped open, and he lunged forward with a sharp cry as Heero was suddenly there, dark blue eyes warm. He wrapped his arms around the man's neck, burrowing against him as he was lifted from his feet. Then he was being lowered onto softness, Heero pulling him close. Strong arms held him tight and he looked up at him, staring for a long moment before pressing his face to the man's neck. "Heero."
~--~--~--~
Violet eyes snapped open to a dark, empty room, the dull flickers from the fire sending pale red shadows over the ceiling. "I don't believe this," Duo whispered, brushing dampness off his cheek as he blinked slowly. "I can't be in love with him..."
