Duo walked into the bedroom he and Heero shared. The apartment wasn't
very big. It had one bedroom, a separate kitchen, a living room,
bathroom and a few closets. Okay, so it was bigger than a lot of other
apartments, but that's what they could afford since they were BOTH
renting it. Yeah, Duo had to pay to and he chose to work at a loose
meat restaurant while Heero worked at the snack bar in a Wal-Mart. Duo
was, amazingly, paid more than he was.
Duo went into the bedroom and began looking under his bed. He wanted
to find a certain manga. Sure, he could read books if he wanted to. He
didn't want to. He didn't want to read anything serious if he didn't
have to. Things that weren't so serious got his mind off of stuff and
just let him relax. Though, Heero claimed the real answer to that was
that Duo had the IQ of a 2 year old. Duo knew he was joking or being
sarcastic or just angry at the time, so he usually just let it pass.
It really started to annoy him while he was saying it in front of
other people, though.
He heard the door slam shut and loud cursing in a different language.
'Heero?' Duo thought. Heero seldom really cursed. He was more laid
back now, but he seldom really cursed. Or cursed out loud, anyway.
He'd had his moments, though. This was the loudest he'd heard Heero
yell in a long time. The wars had been over for awhile. No one since
Mariemaya had resurfaced. They were only to be on call if something
like that happened. This way it was easier for them to have a normal
life. They earned pay for anything they did associated with the
Preventers and since they weren't doing anything, they got no money.
So, they had to get other jobs and were perfectly happy that way.
Though, both had had their moments when they wished they were back
with the Preventers.
Duo walked out, having only just found his manga and having to discard
it on his bed, to see what was the matter with Heero.
"Heero what's...." Duo was cut off as he noticed a large burn on
Heero's right hand. "Holy shit! What happened?!" Duo asked as he
rushed to get the first aid kit...and some ice. "I was cleaning the
grill." Heero said. "And you failed to notice it was hot?!" Duo yelled
at him.
"No...I knew it was hot...well....it only seemed warm." Heero said.
"What had you been doing, before that?" Duo asked. "Working with ice."
Heero said. "I knew it! Baka!" Duo yelled. He seldom cried out in
Japanese, but he did it automatically when he wanted to make
absolutely sure that Heero understood him.
"You're hands were fucking numb, weren't they?!" Duo yelled. "Well,
yes..." Heero started. "No. No excuses. Damn it, Heero, you're smarter
than that! I know you're smarter than that! You knew better! Were you
trying to hurt yourself?! Do you enjoy seeing me come close to having
a heart attack?! You know....forget it! Nothing sinks into that head
of yours! You're head's too God damned thick!" Duo screamed, half
wondering why Heero wasn't screaming back.
Heero was just staring at him. That baka! He probably wasn't even
listening! Before Duo knew what he was doing or could even stop
himself he was in front of Heero, and for the first time since Heero
had ordered him to in A.C.196, he hit Heero. It was a smack. Right
across the face. Heero's head whipped to the side as Duo smacked him.
Duo pulled his hand back, unbelieving of what he'd just done. "Oh my
God. Heero, I...I didn't mean to. I don't know why I did that. I'm
sorry." Duo whispered unbelieving.
Heero just stood there for a minute. Then, without a word to Duo, he
walked into the kitchen. Heero's face was even bleeding.
Duo didn't even notice Heero was bleeding until he'd noticed that,
where his hand was lingering just long enough, his hand had gotten
some of Heero's blood on it.
"Shit." Duo whispered to himself.
Suddenly, he shook his head and his eyes and features came back to
life. He rushed into the kitchen to find Heero.
Heero was in there, looking out of the window and lightly brushing his
new cut with a washcloth in his burned hand.
"Heero, let me..." Duo started. He stopped when Heero flinched away
from his touch. The flinch hurt his hand, because he'd had to move it
again. He dropped the washcloth. His cut started to drip blood again.
Duo didn't like the idea of Heero being afraid of him. It was the last
thing he'd wanted. He hadn't meant to hit Heero. He wasn't even aware
his feet had been moving at all.
"I...I'm not gonna hurt ya. You know that. Heero, you have to know
that! I didn't....I didn't mean to do that. I don't even remember
crossing the room!" Duo said. Heero just nodded his understanding. Duo
let it be with that, knowing that Heero wasn't going to say anything
more about it. He'd only be having a conversation with a statue if he
tried to talk about it anymore.
He took the wet cloth from the counter, where it was dropped, and
lightly dabbed at Heero's cut with it. It wouldn't scar and would
probably be halfway healed by tomorrow.
Duo grinned. "Do ya want me to kiss it and make it better?" Duo asked.
"No." Heero said. Duo rolled his eyes. He'd only been teasing.
Once that was finished, Heero let Duo patch up his hand. The burn
wasn't as bad as Duo had made it out to be. Definitely not worth
hitting Heero over.
Heero went to the living room, followed closely by Duo, and got
something from the couch. "What's that?" Duo asked. "It's a sack. I
bought you something. I saw it and thought about you. I don't know
why. I just did." Heero said.
"Well, what is it?" Duo asked. Heero shoved the bag to Duo. "Look in
it and find out, baka." Heero said. He seemed to be back to normal. He
went to their bedroom and shut the door.
Duo opened the sack, reached in...and pulled out a chocolate orange.
He'd never had one before, but he loved oranges and he LOVED
chocolate. Duo was going to save it. Maybe, share it with Heero. He
wasn't all that hungry right now.
He put it back in the sack and walked to their room, where he was
going to put it on his desk, so he would know where it was.
He went into the room and started toward his desk, which he shared
with Heero, since they didn't see the point in buying two of them and
spending more money than they needed to when they could share one.
Heero shut the laptop he was working on with a loud bang. "Heero,
you're going to break that." Duo warned.
"It's durable." Heero answered. "What are you typin', anyway?" Duo
asked.
Heero didn't answer and waited for Duo to finish whatever it was he
was going to do. Duo rolled his eyes. "Are we playing Perfect Soldier
again?" Duo asked. Maybe, it was lame and maybe it wasn't. He didn't
care. Heero wouldn't say anything about it, most likely.
He was right, Heero just stared at him. He set the chocolate orange on
the desk, looked at Heero strangely, because it seemed like he was
actually GUARDING the laptop.
"I'm just....gonna go read, now." Duo said, walking to his bed and
picking up the manga he'd left there.
"Hn." Heero said. Once Duo was at his bed and in no danger of seeing
whatever it was that he was typing, Heero lifted the top of the
laptop.
The typing started almost immediately after Duo lied down on the bed
to read the manga.
@@@@@@@@@@
After at least an hour and, Duo noticed, a few hundred backspaces from
Heero, Heero shut the laptop, not turning it off, and got his coat.
"Where ya goin'?" Duo asked. "Out." Heero answered. "What's with the
one word sentences?" Duo asked. "Hn." Heero said, as he left.
Duo rolled his eyes and started reading the manga, again.
Duo heard the front door shut and started to wonder about the laptop.
He'd gotten up a lot and went in the direction of Heero and the
laptop, Heero almost breaking the laptop shutting it.
'What's in it that Heero can't stand me to see? Was he typin'
somethin' about me?' Duo wondered. Heero probably wouldn't be back for
awhile, so he could go see what it was that Heero was being so
secretive about. Heero would never have to know. Duo wouldn't lie to
him, he just wouldn't tell him.
'No, I wouldn't like it if he did somethin' like that to me.' Duo
thought to himself. 'But, still....it wouldn't hurt to just take a
LITTLE peak.' Duo thought.
His inner battle lasted for about an hour until his curiosity got the
better of him and he walked over to the laptop, making sure that Heero
wasn't coming home, by looking out of the window.
"Okay, lets see what he wrote..." Duo thought aloud, as he opened the
laptop again.
He quickly found that Heero kept his things coded. He'd been a Gundam
pilot and had been trained for such things, but it still took him
another hour to just break passed the first code, to get into his
documented files.
"Finally." Duo said, as he found something that he thought looked like
diary or journal entries. He'd had a feeling Heero kept a journal on
the computer. He'd just never wanted to look at it.
Duo almost returned the computer to the way it was and left it be. He
shouldn't be invading another person's privacy just because he was
curious about what they'd been typing. It wasn't right. He wouldn't
speak to someone for a long time if they did something like that to
him. He wouldn't like to be treated that way. His private thoughts,
feelings and actions should be kept private. There was a reason a
diary or journal was something no one was supposed to look at. You
were supposed to be able to feel safe about putting things there that
you didn't want others to see.
'Well, I came this far, I might as well read the first paragraph.' Duo
thought. What he read amazed him. He didn't know that Heero had a
crush on him. No wonder he'd been acting weird lately.
He couldn't help it. One paragraph led to another paragraph and so
forth through the ALL of the journal entries.
When he finally got to the last entry, he couldn't breathe. The last
entry had something in it that he never imagined Heero would feel for
him. Maybe for someone else, but he only dared dream that it would be
felt for him, not expecting it to become reality.
Duo read some of it out loud, "I didn't think that I could love
anyone, but I think I love Duo. I know, I know, he's another guy. I
wonder if it's natural for a guy to feel so strongly for another guy?
I don't think so. I mean, none of the others do...at least to my
knowledge they don't. And, guys that I see all the time at work are
always bragging about their girlfriends or wives or fiancés. God,
that's annoying. I don't expect him to love me in return, because,
aside that he's a guy and probably doesn't swing that way, no one has
ever loved me. Why start now? No. He just thinks of me as a friend at
the most. I wish I could get the guts to tell him how I feel, though.
It's funny. I was once known as The Perfect Soldier, but...suddenly I
don't feel so perfect anymore. I mean, I could jump off of buildings
and cliffs and ride on missiles and blow my own damn Gundam up while I
was still in it, but I can't get the balls to tell Duo that I love
him. It's the outcome, that I think I'm afraid of. There's a chance,
which probably wouldn't happen, he might love me in return. If that
happened...I don't know...I might even faint. Then, he could also just
say that he didn't like me that way and leave it be. Or, he could kick
me out the door and say good riddance to bad trash and throw my stuff
out the window. That last one is what scares me. Yeah, I can be scared
and this is one of the only things that scares me. I don't want to
lose him. Even if it means that I can't tell him that I love him. I,
at least, have his friendship, right now, and that's something I
refuse to lose. I know I act like an asshole toward him a lot, but
that's just to cover up how I really feel. I'm afraid that if I let go
the way he's been trying to get me to, that I'll mess up and let
something slip and then I wont even have his friendship, anymore. I
just don't know what I'd do if I couldn't be with him at all. I'd
probably kill myself. I know, that might seem melodramatic, but I
don't care, I really would. I mean, everyone has always told me that
no one could love me. Hell, even Quatre said it at one time! And
something like that coming out of his mouth is very shocking. He
didn't say it to me, oh no. He wouldn't do that. He'd feel guilty just
because he hurt my feelings. No, I heard him talking to Rashid. I
know, it could have all been a misunderstanding and he was talking
about someone else, but no. It would be nice if that were true, but I
heard my name when he was saying that. Mine. Heero. So, why should I
risk losing Duo forever by telling him how I feel? I could be with him
and just stare at him all day. He doesn't know it, but that's what I
do when he's in the room. And why in the world and colonies does he
think that I follow him into the kitchen and then say I wanted to get
something to eat? I'm surprised I haven't gained weight because of
that. I did it just so I could be in the same room with him."
Duo read on and on and found out a few interesting tidbits about a few
fantasy dreams that Heero had about him. None of which made Duo blush,
because he'd had similar, maybe even more explicit, dreams about
Heero. Not that he willed them up, they just invaded his sleep. He
ended up waking up in the morning and hoping that Heero wasn't awake
so he could go clean up. That happened a lot.
Once Duo had finished the very long entry, he saved it and shut the
laptop down, closing the top. That was when he saw Heero in the
doorway.
"Heero..." Duo started. He wanted to tell Heero that he felt the same
and...that he was sorry for snooping in his laptop. Among a
few.....other things.
Heero had obviously taken off his coat before coming into the room and
was now just holding it and looking at Duo. Looking at him, like he
was afraid.
Heero dropped the coat on the floor and ran out of the room.
"Heero, wait!!!" Duo yelled, getting up and running after him.
Damn all the twists and turns in the apartment...including the crap on
the floor that Duo WAS going to get Heero to help him pick up later.
Now, that might not happen.
"Shit, shit, shit!" Duo yelled, as he dodged an open door. He should
have known better than to pause like that. He wasn't a stupid person,
so why hadn't he used his common sense?!
"Heero, stop! I wanna talk to ya!!" Duo yelled. He was almost whacked
in the head with the front door to their apartment. He followed Heero
out the door, down the halls, down stairs and still he couldn't catch
up with him. He had to wait until he was almost smacked with the front
glass door of the apartment building, before he could do anything
about all the twists and turns of things. They were, now, out in the
open, though. Now Heero was gaining much more speed.
It was dark out, too, so it was just a little harder to see Heero.
Though, the moving shadow type thing sorta tipped Duo off as to where
Heero was.
Duo finally noticed exactly where they were heading. The park. He
started running faster. He'd lost track of Heero, but he thought he
knew where he'd find him. There was a huge tree that Heero liked to
sit under, when he came, in the center of the park.
Running as fast as he could to the large tree he stopped just under
it. He could hear Heero. He'd climbed the tree.
Duo heaved a heavy sigh, wishing he could catch his breath first, and
started climbing the huge tree. It was a good thing there were low,
large, thick, healthy branches or he wouldn't be able to do this. Of
course....Heero probably wouldn't either.
Duo got to a branch, not too far from the bottom, but still far enough
to fall and hurt yourself if you landed wrong, which Heero was sitting
on. The branch was actually big enough for Heero to sit on and bring
his knees to his chest and rock himself. (people, this is a big
branch, use your imagination)
Duo sat on the branch, too, hoping he wouldn't fall off and that he
could finally catch his breath.
Duo heard Heero making noises. It sounded like he was trying to catch
his breath and cry at the same time. Heavy sobs under his breath.
Duo scooted over and reached out to touch Heero. Heero sort of
shrugged away. Duo could tell that Heero needed comforting, whether or
not he wanted it or wanted to admit it.
Duo scooted even closer and took Heero into his arms. At first Heero
struggled, though, obviously not with the intent to hurt Duo, and
yelled as well, not caring if someone sleeping on a park bench heard
or if some police officers were out on foot patrol and also heard.
"Shhh, Heero, stop! You'll hurt yourself!" Duo whispered into his ear.
One hand positioned around Heero's back and the other at the back of
Heero's head, pulling him closer and rocking him.
"So? What does it matter?" Heero sobbed out, loudly, voice thick with
tears.
"It matters, Heero, because I love you, too." Duo said. Heero stopped
for a moment, sitting very still in Duo's arms, as Duo continued to
rub one hand over his back and the other in his hair.
"You...you're teasing me..." Heero said. "No, Heero, I don't lie and I
wouldn't tease you about something like this." Duo said.
"You....you really love me?" Heero asked. "Yes, I really love you,
Heero." Duo said.
Heero seemed to cry even harder now. "Was it somethin' I said?" Duo
asked. "I'm...just so happy....I...I'm afraid that...this is all a
dream...God...if it's a dream I hope I'm in a fucking coma!" Heero
said. Duo laughed.
"Please, stop crying." Duo pleaded. Heero sniffled and his crying
started to subside.
Duo pulled back a little and lifted Heero's head so he could look him
in the eyes. Heero had fear in his eyes. He was afraid that Duo had
changed his mind, Duo could see.
Duo lifted a hand to Heero and Heero flinched back as if he thought he
would be hit. "I'm not going to hit you, Heero. I love you too much to
hit you without cause and it hurt me SO much when I hit you earlier. I
could never do that again. Never ever. I would never change my mind
about loving you, either. I'm in too deep to change my mind." Duo
said, letting his hand rest gently on Heero's cheek, rubbing the backs
of his fingers against it. Heero leaned into the caress.
Duo leaned over and pressed his lips to Heero's. Heero gasped shortly,
before responding to the kiss. He melted against Duo, wrapping his
arms around Duo's neck. Duo ran his tongue along Heero's bottom lip
and Heero opened his mouth, granting him access.
Heero surprised Duo by being so submissive. He was so strong, he could
easily overpower Duo and become the dominant of the two, but he
didn't. He just seemed to invite Duo to do whatever he wanted to his
body. Duo wouldn't abuse this gift.
He slipped his tongue into Heero's mouth and probed around, making
sure to explore everything his tongue could reach. He teased Heero's
tongue with his own. Heero responded, but soon let Duo dominate him
again.
Heero moaned into the kiss, which only spurred Duo on. He ran one hand
through Heero's hair and the other he slipped under Heero's shirt to
caress his back. Heero stiffened when he felt this, so Duo took it as
a hint and slipped his hand back out. He kissed up Heero's jaw to his
ear and whispered, "I'm sorry." He nibbled at Heero's earlobe, as
Heero's mouth found it's way to Duo's neck.
Suddenly, a light was shining up to them from under the tree. Duo and
Heero stopped what they were doing and didn't really move. Just stayed
in that position, a little startled and wondering what they were going
to do.
"What do you two think you're doing up there?" A man's voice asked.
Duo moved to look down and saw a police officer. 'Busted!' Duo's mind
registered.
"Um...nothing, officer?" Duo asked. "Yeah, right. You two go home and
do that. This is a public place and no one needs to see you two have
sex in a tree. Get down from there and head on home or I'll have to
run ya in." The officer said.
"Yes, sir." Duo said, as he gave Heero a look. Heero smiled, a real
smile. Duo answered his smile with one of his own.
"Come on, now, I can't stand here and wait for you two to stop
admiring each others' beauty. Get down from there and stare at each
other at your home." The officer said, impatiently.
Duo went down first, closely followed by Heero.
"Alright, go on home. I don't have all day. You may like to stare at
each other, but I sure don't have time to stare at you." The officer
said.
"Okay, officer, okay, we're goin'." Duo said, walking in the direction
of their apartment. Heero followed and came up beside him, laying his
head on Duo's shoulder as they walked, Duo putting one arm around
Heero's waist.
