Ch. 2
Stretching, Heero woke up, the events of the night before wrecking havoc in his brain. 'Oh man I really messed up last night.' Inwardly groaning, he got up and went to shower. Looking in the mirror in the bathroom, he made sure there was no evidence of the tears he shed. 'If I don't cut that shit out it will really turn bad and I won't even have them as friends anymore. Ok I can do this. It's better than nothing, right? Just chill and get on with my life.' Nodding to himself, he went towards the smell of food coming from the kitchen.
Trowa woke up the next morning feeling stiff. He tried to stretch but bumped into a warm body. Jerking awake he looked down and saw a blonde head near his chest. 'We must have fallen asleep watching that movie last night.' A small smile grew on his face as he continued to watch him sleep.
"Where's a camera when you need it." Came a whisper from the door way.
Trowa jumped, causing Quatre to wake up. They turned to the door, blush staining Trowa's cheeks. Quatre shook his head waking himself up, "Morning Heero." Taking in the rare smile on Heero's face, he looked to the other person on the couch and then realized just how close he was too green eyes. He jumped to the other side of the couch in embarrassment, ducking his head.
"I just thought I should tell you two that breakfast is ready." Heero said, smile still on his face as he left the room.
"Good morning, Trowa," the blonde said trying to fill the silence. Then jumped up and went towards the kitchen.
Taking in the blush and Quatre's shy smile, he rose to follow shaking his head and chuckling slightly. Once the five were in the kitchen around the table Duo looked at Heero, trying to judge the other mans attitude. "Um, so Heero what are you going to now?" He looked nervous, hoping he hadn't just pissed his friend off.
"Well, I talked to Une about joining the Preventers field agents." He stated showing no signs of being upset about the night before.
"Really?!" squealed an excited Duo. "So you're going to be joining Wufei and me. That's great."
"Yeah." Heero said the small smile coming back to his face.
"Wow, Heero, that's twice in one day and it's only morning." Quatre said grinning.
"What about you Trowa?" Heero asked.
"I'm not really too sure at the moment. Cathrine has told me that I could always go back to the circus. But I'm just not sure I feel like traveling that much. I'd like to be in one place. A home." He spared a quick glance at Quatre. No one missed the look, aside from the receiving party. He was too busy pushing his food around his plate.
"You could always join the Preventers too, Tro. They're looking for people with training like ours. It would be great to have you out there with us." Wufei said as Quatre's head shot up in protest then looked quickly down again. 'Pull it together Winner. If he wants to join the Preventers it's certainly none of my business. If he wants to put himself in danger it's his choice. I mean it's not like he has anything holding him near me. If he wants to go out and get himself killed it's his own prerogative. If he wants to put himself in dangerous situations again and be gone from your life; oh Allah, what if he does and I never tell him how…' "all right?" Quatre caught the end of Duo's question and looked up.
"Wha... what was that Duo?" stuttering trying to get his thought process back under control. But he couldn't help but wonder what the smile on Duo's face was for.
"I said, are you all right? You look like someone just stole your favorite teddy bear or something."
Flushing, Quatre smiled slightly. "I'm all right Duo. Well I need to get going. Um, you…umm, well, I'll be back later." With that said he got up and left the table.
They watched his retreating back and then Duo turned to Wufei. "Nice work, 'Fei. You almost gave the boy a heart attack." Duo said to his boyfriend.
"What? I was just giving Barton some options." He stated smugly.
"Right, I know you too well to believe that. You're the one who keeps bugging about 'Oh, they would just be so cute together.'" Duo laughed at the embarrassed blushed that caught the Chinese mans face.
Trowa sat listening to the lovers and then jumped into the conversation. "You know, I think I can do a better job of getting him without any help; especially, when your idea of helping is to worry him." He said with an amused look on his face as he got up leaving the room.
He found Quatre sitting on the front porch his head in his hands.
"Quatre?"
Said boy jumped at the intrusion on his thoughts. "Hey, Trowa, what's up?"
He sat down beside the little blonde and looked at him out of the corner of his eye. "I was thinking about joining the Preventers." He paused to see how the information was taken. He noticed a slight slump in normally properly raised shoulders. "For an office job. You know, intel work."
"Oh." Came the soft response.
"Quatre."
"Trowa."
They said in unison.
"You go first."
"You can go first."
Once again, said together. They both stopped and laughed. "Trowa, I'm sorry. It's really none of my business if you join the Preventers for office work or a field job, or even if you go back to the circus for that matter. You need to do what your heart tells you to do." Quatre said ducking his head slightly.
"Do what my heart tells me to do, uh?" Quatre looked up at the emotion in the normally impassive voice. Trowa was leaned in very close. He could feel his warm breath on his skin. "Yeah" Quatre whispered his eyes widened and his heart was pounding at the look in those green eyes.
"Quatre." His voice low as he leaned in further, lips oh so close to his goal. "My heart leads me to one place." His hand came up to caress Quatre's cheek. "And that's to you." Blue eyes closed taking in the sweet words. "Because you have my heart. You are my heart."
Quatre melted into Trowa's lips. A hand slipped into pale locks, pulling the sweet lips closer. They broke the kiss and curled up together on the bench.
"Oh, Trowa, I'm such a fool."
"Why is that little one?"
"Instead of just talking to you I made an idiot of myself in there. I was brooding over what might happen to you if you joined the Preventers. And I kinda went off the deep end."
"It's ok. The guys did that for a reason anyway. Besides, how many times a day do you think Duo makes a fool of himself." He laughed softly pulling Quatre tightly to him. Comfortable silence sank in as they sat on the swing lazily watching the morning go by, content to just finally be in each others arms.
Preventers Headquaters.
"Heero, please come in." Une said leading him into the office. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" She asked sitting across the desk from him.
"Well, field agents are required to work in pairs and also the SOP says that couples are not allowed to be partners. I would like to request to be Maxwell's partner."
Une sat back in her chair studying the boy in front of her. 'No man, despite age these boys grew up long ago.' "I see no problem with that; however, I would like to know what couples have to do with this."
A small, but sad Une noted, smile formed on Heeros face. "Well it really isn't a secret, but Chang and Maxwell have been together for a while now."
A knock on the door ended the conversation.
"Come in." Une called knowing it would be the couple in question.
"Hey, Une-baby." Duo said as he bounced into the office. "Oh, hey, Heero. I didn't know you were coming up here today."
"We just finished up at personnel. All paperwork is filed." Wufei said as he sat in the only empty chair left.
"Good now that you are all in the system and ready to go, there's just the subject of partners to discuss. Chang you'll be with Noin, you two should work very well together. Maxwell, you and Yuy will be together." Seeing them all nod in approval she continued. "Seeing as how it's almost the close of the work day and it's Thursday I don't expect to see any of you until Monday. Understood?" She stood in the gesture of dismissal. "Now gentlemen, I have work to do so with all due respect, get lost." Une said with a tiny smile on her face.
Walking towards their cars Duo turned to Heero, "Well looks like we're partners. Wonder how things turned out like that?"
"The SOP does state that couples cannot be partners." Wufei spoke up.
"Yeah but it's not like Une could know we're together."
"It's not like it's a secret." Heero said joining in the conversation.
Duo looked back to Heero. "You told her didn't you?"
Hearing no objection in Duo's voice Heero answered. "Yes."
Duo just nodded.
"Did you request the partners?" asked Wufei.
"Yeah right, like Mr. Stoic would want to be stuck with me." He said with a laugh.
"Actually, yes, I did. See, you can trust Wufei with any partner. But we wouldn't want some un-expecting person to get the God of Death as their partner. They might go insane before work could get done. So I thought I would take that out of the equation. That way I could keep you inline and everyone could get work done. And so half the Preventers agents don't quit on us." He said with a smirk. "Well I have to get going. Bye guys." With that Heero turned and walked to his car.
The two stood for a minute after the perfect soldier's speech.
"Well I'll be damned."
"'Fei, is that really Heero Yuy?!" he turned to Wufei with a maniac smile. "I mean I knew he had it in him to be human and all, but it's really going to take some getting use to." He paused for a moment and his smile turned to a pout. "Wait, he just insulted me!"
"I do believe he did." The Chinese man stated.
"Man I thought I was going to get the fun of pulling that stick out of his ass." Duo said as they walked to their car.
Heero sat in his car and watched as the others pulled out of the parking lot. Leaning his head on the steering wheel he sighed deeply. 'Oh man, this is going to be hard.' "Ok Yuy, get it together. You can do this." After his little pep talk he went in search of an apartment.
April 197
"Damn it all. What the fuck is their problem. We make plenty of money to cover the monthly payments. Fucking sons of bitches." Duo was pissed. After 6 hours of house hunting they had found the perfect house. But were denied the loan and didn't have enough money to make the massively ridiculous down payment the real estate agency was asking for. "They were being prejudice. There's nothing else to it. Damn it."
The sounds of the door slamming had brought Quatre and Heero from the office into the front hall of Quatre's house. "I take it house hunting didn't go well?" the little blonde asked softly.
"Well we found the perfect house but we can't get a loan to cover and it's just a big mess." Wufei spoke up deciding that if he let Duo try to explain all they would get would be obscenities. "We'll figure something out, ok baby?" he said running his fingertips across the upset teen's cheek.
Duo calmed slightly. "Ok." Hearing a throat clear they saw the two others waiting for something. "What's up guys?"
"We have a mission. Une wants to see us immediately." Heero said not looking all too happy about something.
"Oh ok. Let's get going." Looking to his lover, "I'll call and let you know what's up. Ok?" leaning in, he kissed Wufei lightly.
"Alright, I love you."
"Love you too." Dark eyes watched Duo until the car pulled off and was out of sight.
"That's a pretty serious look." Came the soft voice of Trowa.
"Yeah, I just wanted to do this for him. That's all. Give him the home he's never had." Looking away from the window he saw looks of understanding coming from the other two in the room. "Well I better go and try to get this sorted out." He said walking towards his room, laptop in hand.
Later on he got an email from Duo saying that they were heading out and would be back in two weeks tops. Emailing him back telling him to keep safe, he logged off and laid on the bed. 'This is hopeless no one will give us the loan.'
Four days after Duo and Heero left, Wufei got a phone call saying that they got the house. "What do you mean?" Quatre and Trowa looked up hearing the excitement in his voice. "How? … Ok. Well Duo is out of town on business right now. When he gets back we'll come down and sign the paperwork. Thank you. Goodbye." He stood in a state of shock and slowly turned to the other two in the room. "We got the house." He said with a smile on his face.
"How?" Quatre asked, very happy for his friends.
"I don't really know. They just said that they got it worked out. That we got a deal on it or something." Wufei said, almost jumping out of skin looking more like Duo than himself. "Duo is going to be so happy."
"That's wonderful." Trowa said smiling.
"Well this calls for a celebration. We'll throw a surprise party for Duo when they get back!" Quatre exclaimed.
A week later found a very exhausted Duo walking up the steps to Quatre's house. 'When will I get to have a home of my own? Instead of coming home to someone else's.' he thought bitterly. Turning to Heero "You don't have to walk me to the door you know." Not said unkindly just a statement. "I'm sure you're ready to get home."
"I know." Was the only reply he received.
Stepping inside, Duo was swept up into a huge hug. "I missed you too, 'Fei." He said hugging him tightly.
"You look tired though, maybe this wasn't a good idea." Worried eyes looked Duo over.
"Maybe what wasn't a good idea?" Curiosity winning over his tired state.
"Come to the dining room." He followed and violet eyes almost bugged out of his face at what he saw. "What's this?" he whispered. Then he read the banner over the table that read: 'CONGRADULATIONS' "What?" he looked over to his lover who just nodded down to the table.
The paperwork for the house was sitting there with a pen. Then a soft voice said in his ear, "We have a home, my love." Tears clouded his vision. "A home?" he said softly. He looked up to everyone. "I have a home." He said louder.
Wufei looked to everyone trying to stop the tears coming to his own eyes. He saw as strange look on Heeros face. The blue eyed teen was smiling and just nodded his head. Not looking the least bit surprised. Confused he just turned his attention back to Duo.
"Alright, that's the last thing out of the U-haul." Heero said setting a box in the kitchen. All five of them had spent the last four hours getting Wufei and Duo moved into their new house. They were still waiting for most of their furniture to be delivered. Quatre insisted on buying them something for the house as a present, and that had already been delivered so they crashed in there for a little bit to take a break.
"Thanks guys, for helping us get it all in here. We should be able to take care of the rest if you want to get going." Duo said sitting on his new couch.
"Well, Trowa and I do need to get going. Are you sure everything is taken care of?" he asked standing.
"It's cool man. You and Trowa head out on your date now." Duo said winking at them.
"Bye guys. See you later."
"What about you, Heero?" Wufei asked.
"I don't mind helping out for a while. I don't have anything else to do. Until dinner that is. Relena invited me over so I'll have to leave at 5:30." He said sitting back in the recliner. "Besides, you might need help getting that furniture moved around once it gets here."
"Thank you. We really appreciate the help."
"No problem."
"Hey Heero, come in." Relena said. "How did moving day go?"
"It went well. We actually got everything done a lot quicker than I had expected." He said following her into the dinning room.
"How are you doing?" she asked.
"Well I'm doing ok I guess. I just have to keep them from knowing that I'm emotionally unhinged right now." He said with a small laugh. "I don't want to have to lie to them about what's wrong. I can't tell them the truth." He said sighing.
"I understand Heero. But I know that things will get better. Somehow."

"It's cool man. You and Trowa head out on your date now." Duo said winking at them.
"Bye guys. See you later."
"What about you, Heero?" Wufei asked.
"I don't mind helping out for a while. I don't have anything else to do. Until dinner that is. Relena invited me over so I'll have to leave at 5:30." He said sitting back in the recliner. "Besides, you might need help getting that furniture moved around once it gets here."
"Thank you. We really appreciate the help."
"No problem."
"Hey Heero, come in." Relena said. "How did moving day go?"
"It went well. We actually got everything done a lot quicker than I had expected." He said following her into the dinning room.
"How are you doing?" she asked.
"Well I'm doing ok I guess. I just have to keep them from knowing that I'm emotionally unhinged right now." He said with a small laugh. "I don't want to have to lie to them about what's wrong. I can't tell them the truth." He said sighing.
"I understand Heero. But I know that things will get better. Somehow."
