Chocolate Kisses

The gushiness of Feb. 14th was so palatable it was starting to give Duo a toothache. Going to work was going to be a pain in the ass. //Flowers and candies and hearts! Oh my! Damn, maybe I should've just called in sick today...// Winner Enterprises Inc. was the fastest growing, and now largest, corporation of industrial factories, and one Duo Maxwell was the head supervisor of employees and production in the Seattle district. He had been with the company for seven years and loved his job, in fact, he was up for a partnership any day now. Walking into his shared office, he saw an extremely extravagant sight. Yellows, pinks, whites, reds, all the colors of flowers were there and then some. Festoons of bouquets littered the entire room. Vases took up the whole floor and desks. It looked like maybe a flower shop twice the size of the office had been bought out and now the small office was where they decided to store everything. "Holy shit..." was the only thing the astounded man could think to say.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From somewhere among the floral ocean, his best friend, supervisor of the customers dept., Trowa Barton waded out to greet him.

"Yo Tro-man! What's up with all the flowers? Who do you think they're from?" Trowa debated whether or not to say everything to Duo. He would trust him with his life, but he didn't want to see Duo get crushed.

"Umm... anou... Duo... I've checked them all, they're from Quatre," then he added quietly, "I'm sorry.."

Something flitted across Duo's features, but it was gone as quickly as it came, so the Frenchman couldn't see exactly what it was. "Trowa! Whadaya sayin' sorry for? What the hell would I want flowers for hmm? You know I HATE Valentine's day!" Duo said the last sentence with just a little too much emphasis, it worried his friend.

Sighing in defeat, the green-eyed man said, "I know, I know..." and the two went to do their jobs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

//Every year it's the same *damn* thing! When are they gonna realize I'm not interested?!//As part of his daily routine, he had to go to each of the factories in the greater Seattle area and check out their production rate, this meant visiting about twenty different locations, with each having about five to ten sections. And at almost every section, there was some girl who came up to him and asked him out. He had at least three dozen red roses, seven white roses, fifteen boxes of chocolates and too many teddy bears, all out in his car. He never told them the truth, he didn't care what rights' laws there were, some jerk at WEI would find *some* reason to get him fired if they knew he was gay.

This one girl though, Hilde, was extremely persistent. She was the head of this section and seemed determined to give him a tour of the plant he had been to hundreds of times. She was yakking about some nonsense or other to which he paid absolutely no attention. His gaze wandered, of it's own accord of course, to the rear end of a cute *male* worker. //Damn! How long has it been since I've gotten any?//

"Mr. Maxwell, can I call you Duo? Duo, what do you think of children? I've already picked out the names for mine; Nathaniel, Brittany, and Tonya Maxwell. Or maybe, instead of Nathaniel, Jerome! Well? What do you think?" Hilde prattled on at an astonishing rate. Duo snapped out of his mental calculations of how long it had been since he had last had sex. //One year, seven months, three weeks, two days... that is just way too pathetic. Am I really that sad?// The braided man was able to only catch the last bit of what Hilde had been talking about.

"... Seven's great for me! See ya on Saturday!" And with that, the blue haired psycho gave him a tight hug and ran off giggling.

//What the hell was that all about? Oh well, whatever...// Duo shrugged and finished his round at the factory.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Getting into his black Toyota Celica GT (1), Duo saw a couple kissing, the woman was holding a huge bouquet of roses. A dispassionate sigh left the man's lips involuntarily and he leaned heavily on the steering wheel.

*****************************************

Tapping his pen languidly against the mahogany desk, Heero Yuy was bored out of his skull. This woman was more incessant than the last! //When we her inane chatter stop? What was her name again? Rebecca? Linda? Anya? What is it even? NOON! This damn woman's been talking on end for the past two hours! Can she breathe?// Then Heero looked back across the table at the blonde, slightly flushed, woman. // Do I care?// He held up his hand to signal her to stop talking, she did and took large gulps of air. "Rebecca, Linda, whatever... I need to go to lunch now..." He never got past that.

"Oh, Heero!"

"Mr. Yuy, please.."

"Oh Heero, you're so funny! You know my name's Relena! So where do you want to go to lunch at? I know a great place downtown that features the *best* chinese food!" Looking at his watch for emphasis, he said to her, "I'm sorry, but I told a friend I'd meet them for lunch and so I have to go. Oh, and if there's anything you ever need... um... Relena?... whatever, please *hesitate* to ask!" and with that, the Asian man rushed out of the door with a blond nuisance on his heels.

As soon as he was in the parking lot, he grabbed the first person he saw, he only saw their back however, taking them for a woman, because of the long rope of braided hair. Turning them around swiftly, he gave them a quick kiss, he pulled back and looked into a pair of shocked violet eyes, set into a cherubic, but very *masculine* face.

*****************************************

Duo was back at the WEI headquarters and getting out of his car. Roughly, but in gentle hands, he was turned around and a kiss was planted firmly on his lips. The kiss had to have lasted for only three seconds at the most, but the electricity that it arouse in him could've lasted Duo for a thousand lifetimes. He looked up in shock, into of the sexiest faces he had ever seen, not knowing why he said it, or how his body worked at all, he said in a dazed voice "Thanks."

*****************************************

Heero looked down at the boy in his arms and only one thought entered his mind //beautiful...// Then a warm alto voice to his ears and he was lost completely.

"Thanks..."

He didn't notice Relena's open-mouthed gape. And frankly, he couldn't give a tiny rat's ass, him and the beautiful man stood like that for about five minutes. Heero grasping Duo's biceps, bodies touching slightly, and their faces only inches apart. Next, the annoying bitch known as Relena broke them out of their trance.

"Oi! So this is your friend Heero! Hi~i!! I'm Relena, Heero's my boyfriend, do you have a girlfriend? I'd love to meet her! Oooooohhhh!!! Double date! Double date!" the annoying bitch chanted while clapping her hands.

*****************************************

Duo visibly winced at her screeching voice directly in his ear. He heard the man named Heero speak, and became hard almost instantly at that voice. Too bad Heero didn't say something romantic and memorable -well ok, it was really memorable!- but instead he said...

"R~E~L~E~N~A!!!! I never said I would go out with you! In fact, I never will or even imagine dating you! The picture is just too gruesome! I hate you! You're an annoying bossy, over-controlling bitch, not to mention a stalker! Yeah that's right, I know you've been stalking me! I saw you drive past my house twenty-six times yesterday! If you don't quit this shit, I will take matters into my own hands instead of calling the police *again*! Do you understand?!" Heero yelled at the cowering girl, viciously.

Thinking that maybe she could play off of some guilt, the Dorlian girl looked up at him with pleading blue eyes, a pouty mouth, and fake tears brimming on the edge of her eyes. All she got in return was a glare colder than an iceberg.

"B-b-but Heero!!" she wailed.

"No! No 'buts'! Leave me alone and that's final!"

***********************************

Both Duo and Relena had, by now, noticed that Heero's hands on Duo had slipped from his biceps to his waist. Relena's blazed with fury while Duo hummed in pleasure. He had always preferred strong guys, but he hated those bulky muscles, so Heero was the epitome of perfection to him. Lean muscle, in such a sleek way it reminded Duo of a panther, ready to strike. He decided he really liked being in Heero's arms, a feeling of protection and warmth washed over him as he clung to the handsome man.

You could almost see the steam pouring out of the blond bimbo's ears, she stomped off, defeated. The braided man turned to the taller, stuck out his hand, and said, "Hi, I'm Duo. Duo Maxwell."

*********************************

Heero stared dumb foundedly at the grinning cherubic face. Next thing he knew, a hand was under a nose.

"Hi, I'm Duo."

He finally realized he had continued to hold a person he didn't even know, and had just kissed as well! Stepping back, he instantly regretted it as he suddenly felt unnaturally cold. He took the proffered hand and made a mental note to himself that he really liked the firmness, yet still softness, of the other's hand.

"Yuy. Heero Yuy," he responded.

"Well, Yuy, Heero Yuy, glad to meet ya! Though most guys aren't that direct with me!" the grinning face said with a lecherous wink.

"Huh?" was the intelligent response.

"I'm just kidding! Jeez! What? Never heard a joke before?"

//Gods, this guy talks almost as fast as Relena.// "Do you ever shut up?" //Pouting now. Ok, not the best question, but damn is that cute!//

*****************************************

The tall man walked through the hallways towards the office he had visited before. The secretary didn't even try to stop him; last time she'd almost lost her job for doing so, and WEI had never laid a single person off until that moment, she knew better now. He knocked softly on the large double doors and opened then opened one. The blonde head behind the doors was turned to the windows, but he didn't need to turn around to see who it was. He turned around just to look at the brunette that had somehow captured his heart.

"Hello Trowa. Nice to see you again," he purred in a husky voice.

"Thanks for the flowers Quatre... There were a lot of them..." He looked away for a second. Quatre knew Trowa didn't like ostentatious displays of affection. He didn't even know that the guy he was dating was the head of his company until two weeks after they started their relationship. The Winner heir had known this when he came into Trowa's office and told him. The flabbergasted look on the usually stoic man also proved he wasn't after Quatre's money.

"I'm sorry if you didn't like the amount Trowa. I just wanted you to know that I love you. I remember Valentine's Day in High School and trust me, there's no way I wanted you to feel that I was being cheap or something.."

"Never! I mean.... You know that I love you, too. That's all you needed to tell me and I would've been happy. You didn't to do all that," Emerald eyes reflected compassion and understanding. Quatre hadn't told him much about what his past was like. But he knew enough; he knew that his father had died a couple of years back, leaving him the head of the company. He also knew that his sisters tormented him and a few disowned themselves from the family when they found out his sexual preferences, but there were a precious few, like Iria, who accepted him.

Striding towards his lover he wrapped his arms around him and leaned his head on the flat, sculpted chest. "How was Duo? I know he mustn't be feeling all that well."

Unable to keep anything from his little love, Trowa had confided in him his worries about his braided companion. About how Duo was amiable and very cheery, but always hostile and bitter about subjects like love. He didn't believe in religion and hated it when people tried to fix him up. In fact, Trowa, Quatre, and their friend in consumer's, Wufei, were probably the only people at WEI that knew he was gay. Wufei and Duo were good friends, they could never go out, considering that Wufei wasn't interested in men, but also because they were more like brothers. Duo never looked on him as anything besides that, and Wufei did the same. Many people had tried to fix Duo up with people they knew, with both sexes, but it never worked out.

The secretary came into the office to deliver some papers to 'Mr. Winner' and luckily, her head was bowed down to examine the papers, giving the men just enough time to part. She smiled at them both, unknowing of the goings- on within the office and handed the papers to her boss. Then she interrupted them further, earning a scowl from Trowa, "Mr. Winner, you have that board meeting in a half hour with the chief executives. One of them is here to see you now, a Mr. Heero Yuy sir."

"Ahh, yes, send him in please!" Heero was a good friend of Quatre's. Quatre had known that he was gay as well from outside sources, and had thought about setting him and Duo up together. He admitted that either one of the two men were very handsome, but he was in love with Trowa, he would never do anything to hurt him.

Trowa left the office as Heero walked in. What Quatre saw was enough to give him a heart attack, Heero Yuy was smiling! Heero "Heart of Stone" Yuy was actually smiling! He was lost for words at the simple beauty of it and stuttered as he tried to voice his question.

"Quatre, I just met the greatest guy in the world, and I don't know why, but I wanted to go out with him, so I asked him, and he accepted!" Heero strode up, grabbed his best friend fiercely, and gave him a huge hug. //OK, now something is *definitely* up!//

"Umm... Ok Heero, can you let me go now? You're kind of cutting off my oxygen," he answered in a muffled voice.

"Oh! Sorry about that Quatre, I'm just so happy right now! I might have to re-think my opinion of love from now on!"

"Well, how did you meet him?"

So Heero went on to explain the whole meeting of the beautiful creature. When he told Quatre that his name was Duo, his friend had a sudden intake of breath. "Huh? You ok Quat?"

"Yeah! I'm fine Heero! Duo you say? Please go on!" He was slightly embarrassed about it, but this was perfect! The little Arabian had known those two were perfect for each other!

TBC....
