:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

"Ooo whoooa whooa whoooooh!"

Duo was singing and dancing along with the title song of the Wild Boyz. He was raising his arms up in the air, flailing them around like the Wild Boyz would do when running away from man-eating lions and the like. Along with that, he was swaying his hips around in front of the couch that Heero was sitting on.

"Neh neh nuh nuh, neh neh nuh nuh!"

He was also singing the instrumental parts, surprisingly in tune, while swaying erratically in front of the TV[1]. It was fun to just be in a world of your own, not caring about what would happen tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day after that, or the next day after the next day... yeah, it was fun. Just to spend a whole weekend with Heero was absolutely joyful! But lately, Heero had been busy with football while he himself was busy with cross country. Both of them hadn't been able to get away from their sports during the weekends because of training, practice, games, meets, etc. But now, Duo thought excitedly, we're both done with sports this season and I can finally have some quality time with my best bud!

After the theme song was done, Duo stopped dancing and singing, then he jumped into the air, flew over the coffee table, and twisted his body so that he would land safely on his butt to sit on the couch[2]. He landed on the firm, yet soft, loveseat with an "oomf!" and turned to Heero with one of his trademark grins.

Heero, who had watched the entire fiasco of the braided-boy's hip-shaking and daredevil jump, looked at Duo with an almost-amused look on his face. He then said, "Duo, do you have to jump up and down everytime a new episode starts?" with a very bored tone.

Duo rolled his eyes at his icey-blue-, yet hot, eyed friend and sat up on his hands and tucked his knees under his thighs on the couch. He lifted his right index finger and poked Heero on his left cheek playfully and said, "You know it's funny! And anyways, I feel that I have to grace you with my moves every once in a while!"

Heero stared at Duo with an amused light for a while, he then raised his left hand and gently guided Duo's right away from his cheek. Duo's lips parted slightly and he gazed at his own hand in Heero's. He stared at his hand a bit longer and hesitated to shatter the moment, but softly, he asked, "Heero...?"

Heero's prussian blue eyes lost the light and turned blank again. While still holding Duo's hand, Heero slid closer to Duo, with their faces only mere inches from each other, "Duo..." he breathed. The said boy's eyes widened and his cheeks turned a slight pink. Heero continued, "Keyword: 'once' in a while," in a monotone voice. He abruptly backed off, let go of Duo's hand, and let it drop back onto the couch with a soft thump.

With extremely wide eyes, Duo looked at his hand and then slowly up to Heero, whom was standing in front of the couch, with eyes pleading for anything--something. He saw Heero staring emotionlessly at him... it was like Heero couldn't feel anything--or he hid it very well--Duo couldn't tell. He held out his hand slowly to reach out for Heero and said, "I'm sorry, Heero... I'll try not to annoy you so much..." barely above a whisper.

Heero had not wanted to be cold and unfeeling towards Duo, but he had lost control in front of him and hadn't wanted to do something that he would regret later. But when he saw Duo's eyes and heard him apologize for something he himself provoked, it broke his heart that he had caused such pain. He vowed to himself long time ago that someday he would be able to tell Duo how he felt about him, but at the moment, all he could do now was soften his stone-cold features. "Duo, I-" Heero stuttered, not knowing what to say, "I-I didn't mean to do that." A small smile touched Duo's lips and his eyes looked at Heero's, telling him that the apology was accepted and that everything would be okay--

with a price, that is!

Duo's lips turned into a mischevious smirk and his eyes took on an evil glint, all directed at Heero and only Heero. The darker-haired boy stayed cool and calm with only his right eyebrow raised. "Duo... what do you want?" Heero asked, defeated.

Duo pretended to contemplate, but all too soon, his initial thought was said. "Ohh... you know, Heero," Duo said, with his palms upturned by his sides, "my half-birthday is coming up soon, and I just wanted something." He finished happily with his tongue between his front teeth and bottom lip.

Heero sighed, uncharacteristically so, and sat back down on the couch next to Duo in a tired slouch position. Heero placed his palms on his knees and faced Duo, who was on the right side of him, and asked, "Duo, you're not mad at me," Duo held his toungue in the previous fashion, but this time, his eyes were not in a gleeful light, but a puzzled one, "are you?"

Duo blinked slowly, withdrew his toungue in his mouth, and thought about what to say. "Heero, I'm not mad," Duo wasn't mad, but he wasn't exactly one-hundred percent either. "I know you well enough that you didn't mean to," Duo smiled and then pulled up his legs to sit in Indian-style and held his ankles, he continued, "and besides, with that gift, I'm going to be extra happy!"

"Are you sure, Duo?" Heero asked.

"Positive!" Duo replied exuberantly. After that said, Duo released his ankles and flung his legs out in a playful manner and sat with his calves touching the outside of the couch in a normal sitting position. He elbowed Heero in the ribs softly and Heero let go of his knees and laid his back on the back of the couch and relaxed. "Come on, Heero, let's not waste this good episode of the good ol' Wild Boyz!" Duo shouted and chuckled without restraint.

Heero snorted at the TV and crossed his arms over his chest. Something was nagging at the back of his mind. He was not paying attention to any of Duo's outbursts and the extremely idiotic acts pulled off by Chris Pontius and Steve-0. No, he was recollecting Duo's seventh-year birthday after the first year of elementary school. Duo's birthday was on July 26 and that day was a disaster nine years ago. He still remembered that day and why it was one of Duo's most horrible days of his childhood. Keyword: Relena...
