Chapter 2: Telling and Acceptance

Heero awoke, body heat by another to his own, wrapped protectively in his lovers arms. He moved to rise from the bed.

"Stay. Lay back down."

Heero complied to the gorgeous mans simple but tempting request to stay in his bed jus ta little bit longer.

"You can stay as long as you like."

"In that case, I think I'll stay forever."

"Good."

They stayed embraced safely in each others arms. Neither had experienced this closeness before, especially with someone they lovingly cared for. It was a truly wonderful feeling, to have someone you care for. Someone you love.

Trowa felt as thought they were the only two people in the world, he knew in reality they weren't, that the other pilots would have to find out soon, but in a perfect world, there was only him and Heero. The ex-Heavyarms pilot wanted to tell Quatre before the others, he was the only one who'd known how Trowa had felt about this and Trowa knew he would give him the confidence and self-assurance he needed to help him tell the others.

"Would you prefer to be there when we tell them?"

Trowa kissed the top of Heero's head and waited patiently for an answer.

"Yes I would. I thought you would have preferred to tell Quatre first."

"I do. I'll tell him myself and he'll probably tell Duo, we can tell everyone else after that."

"Yes ok, do you think they'll be alright about it?"

"Actually I have a feeling they'll be very supportive."

"I hope you're right."

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

"Quatre, I need to talk with you."

Trowa approached the blonde, who now looked confused.

"Something wrong Trowa?"

"No, nothing's wrong I just have something to tell you."

"Ok."

Quatre led the way into an empty room of the house he knew so well.

"What's up then Trowa?"

Trowa pondered on how to phrase it.

"Well, last night me and Heero-" he was sharply interrupted.

"Oh! Are you together now?!"

"Yes."

"Like a couple?"

"Yes."

"Oh Tro, I'm so pleased for you!"

"I'm relieved you took it so well!"

"Well, you were pleased for Duo and I and I know how long you've liked him for. Just try to keep him Tro and you'll be just fine."

Quatre hugged his best friend, Trowa had been right, he know felt very confident about telling the other pilots.

"Quatre, you can tell Duo if you want."

"Sure thing, but if he knocks you over in a hug next time he sees you don't blame me!"

*****

Duo did just that.

As Trowa walked along the corridor he heard his name, next thing he knew he'd been rugby tackled to the floor.

"I'm so happy for you Tro!"

Trowa laughed, "thanks Duo but would you mind getting of me now?"

"Oh yeah, sorry `bout that, it's just really good news!"

"I'm glad you think so."

"It's not just me, everyone will, don't worry, they'll all be great!"

Trowa grinned, everyone was being supportive, that was the best way.

~~~~~~

Duo bounced off round the corner and ran slap bang into Heero.

"Whoa! Sorry buddy! Here," Duo reached out hand to help Heero up, he took it and was on his feet in soldier-quick time.

"By the way, I've heard your big news, its great!"

Heero smiled, actually smiled, he had been doing little things like that a lot since last night. He felt much happier, thanks to Trowa.

"Quatre tell you?"

"Yeah, he told me just now."

"I thought he would, Duo would you ring everyone and ask them round for dinner and a few drinks tomorrow night?"

"Yeah, sure. Are you telling them all then?"

Heero nodded, Duo grinned.

In his opinion Trowa and Heero were being very brave, he would have expected them to keep it quiet for much longer, it had only been a two days, he only hoped it worked as well for them as they thought it would.

~~~~~

Trowa and Heero simultaneously rose from the table.

"Speech!" Duo tapped his glass jokingly.

"We have something to tell you all." Trowa addressed the guests after dinner, everyone looked at him patiently, waiting for him to continue, but instead, Heero took over.

"Well… well it's like this… me… err… we are a…" He took a deep breath, `hey if they don't like it then that's their problem,' he convinced himself before finishing; "We're a couple."

They both sighed, relieved. Grins spread in unison on the faces of Duo, Quatre, Wufei, Sally, Zechs, Noin, Relena, Hilde and Dorothy. Trowa took up Heero's hands and turned to face him smiling slightly. They had only been `together' a three days and yet Trowa's life had never fitted together better. He knew they had maybe rushed into making such a serious announcement, but in as long has he had liked Heero he knew he would do anything to keep the relationship from hitting the rocks.

Heero smiled back, he felt so right just standing there with Trowa, like it was his place, he belonged there, next to this man, the feeling of belonging was one he'd never experienced before. He wished the relationship to last.
