Chapter 3: It Takes a Little Time

 

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

 

 

 

Heero lavished in the feel of Duo's arms still around him, holding him close and seemingly protecting him from all that was around him. This feeling of security was only there when Duo was with him.

 

 

` I've never felt like this but I want it to last. I want to see everything that can come out of this ' Heero thought to himself. ` I hope Duo feels the same way. But if he doesn't I'll just let him have what he wants from me.'

 

 

 

“Duo?” Heero slowly turned his face towards Duo's. Duo just grinned down at his precious Hee-chan's face, which was still slightly red and moist from his previous crying. Giving Heero all the courage he needed to continue.

 

 

“Duo if it …wouldn't be too much to ask of …you, …I…I …I wanted to know if we can take things slow? I mean if you…if you really don't want to…it's…it's okay if you just want to take… me. I love you and I don't want you to hold back on my account. Just because…” Heero trailed off and Duo could feel Heero start to tremble in his arms.

 

 

Duo pulled Heero in for a tight hug and cooed soft words to him to calm him down. Slowly stroking the soft chocolate locks of his love's untamable hair. Duo pulled back and stared into Heero's beautiful blue eyes and smiled gently.

 

 

 

“Heero, I don't mind taking things slow if you're not ready to do anything more than what we have already done. I'm content enough just to have you with me. I'm not holding back what I feel at all. But as for taking you…” Duo stopped as he felt a spasm go up his love's spine. He gently rubbed Heero's back to soothe him. Heero was definitely nervous about what he was going to hear next from Duo's lips.

 

 

 

“Heero we don't have to have sex. In fact I'd rather if we didn't right now. We just told each other how we feel and sex is a very intimate thing and not too be rushed or just done for the hell of it. I've never had sex before and I want to wait until we are both ready to take that next step when we are ready. But…we definitely are not ready yet. Especially from the way you're acting. It's okay to be afraid. I understand how you feel. Really, I do. So don't worry, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Now why don't we go downstairs for some breakfast, shall we?” Duo beamed at him.

 

 

 

Heero couldn't help but smile at him and nodded. Duo gave him a quick kiss and pulled away to go and take a shower. Heero moved to his side of the room and started to get his towel and clothes he would wear for the day. His green tank top and black spandex were waiting to be worn. Duo took his shower first then allowed Heero to do the same. As Heero was in the shower Duo got dressed then unraveled his braid. Brushing the soft strands to ease out the tangles then quickly weaving his tresses in his customary braid. Heero emerged fresh and already dressed from the shower as Duo tied an elastic band at the end of his braid.

 

 

 

Duo glanced up at him then put the brush back on his dresser and walked over to Heero. Taking his hand in his own they headed downstairs to the kitchen where smells of fresh brewed coffee and the distinct smell of French toast wafted through the air to their nostrils. Upon entering the kitchen both boys saw Trowa and Quatre busying themselves making the breakfast that smelled so good. Trowa was pouring the coffee into four tall mugs and setting the table while Quatre was over at the stove. Placing another four pieces of toast into the awaiting pan.

 

 

“Wow Quat! You're cooking smells fantastic. When can we eat?” Duo asked as his mouth began to water at the pleasant aromas in the air. But still had Heero's hand in his as he led Heero over to the table and sat down. Trowa came over and gave them each a cup of coffee and smiled at the two of them.

 

 

`Something's different about them. They seem more at ease with each other. I'm sure I'll figure it out or Quatre definitely will' Trowa thought to himself as he also placed the milk and sugar on the table as well.

 

 

Duo then noticed that the table was only set for four people, not five. “Hey Q? Where's Wu-man? Isn't he gonna eat with us?” Duo asked.

 

 

“He got called out to a mission last night. Something about seeing if there was a new base set up on L-2. He'll be gone for a couple of days. He should be gone week at the most, I should think so anyway. He said he was just supposed to check it out nothing more, so I wouldn't worry too much about him.” Quatre replied.

 

 

“ I wonder why I wasn't asked to go. I mean I'm the best one at stealth right?” Duo questioned Trowa who glanced at him as he put the maple syrup on the table then sat down across from Heero.

 

 

“You're good Duo that's for sure but the mission was for Wufei and we have some time off `til one of us gets another mission. So enjoy the time while it lasts.” Trowa replied.

 

 

Duo just stuck his nose in the air and `hmmp' at the injustice of it. Heero smirked at his love's expression and Trowa noticed it. He stared in disbelief.

 

 

`Heero smirked? That can't be right. Heero never smirks, smiles or hardly ever shows any emotion whatsoever. But he smirked at Duo? Oh!' Trowa thought as realization hit him. `Duo and Heero are a couple it seems' with that though a small smile made its way on Trowa's face as well.

 

 

Quatre made his way over to the table after he shut off the stove and brought over a plate of French toast, two for each of them. They each took their food and ate their food slowly, enjoying the sweet taste of the delicious food Quatre made for them as well as himself.

 

 

Quatre noticed as Duo and Heero occasional glanced at one another during their meal. The looks weren't just normal glances, they were glances that carried love within them.

 

 

 

`Something's going on between those two.' Quatre gave Trowa a look that asked Trowa with his eyes if he noticed it too. Trowa glanced at his lover then at both of the boys that were sitting close to one another as if indicating he thought the same thing. Quatre raised his eyebrows with a look of revelation. He was going to find out right now while they were all together.

 

 

 

They all finished their plates and Quatre got a determined look in his eyes. A look that Trowa knew by heart but said nothing and just looked over at the pair across from him and his lover.

 

 

 

`Quatre's going to ask them and there's no way of stopping him. This should be interesting.' Trowa waited patiently waiting for his lover to strike the unknowing boys across from him.

 

 

Duo picked up his coffee and slowly drank the warm flavorful liquid and reveled in its taste. He had always loved coffee and enjoyed its smell just as much. He took another sip, and that's when Quatre struck.

 

 

“Are you and Heero together Duo?” Quatre asked with a grin. Duo choked on his coffee spit it out onto his now empty plate. Duo stared at Quatre with wide eyes, while Quatre just waited for him to answer. A smirk printed itself on the blonde's face. Trowa too had a small smile on his face as well.

 

 

Duo didn't know what to say. His heart was beating frantically in his chest. He didn't expect Q-man to ask him that! `How did Quatre find out this quickly? Did Heero tell him? No…he couldn't have, I was with him the whole time. Oh...wait. Q-man and that space-heart of his, that's how probably. Might as well tell them, I can't lie to them.'

 

 

Duo glanced at Heero and Heero just nodded his head as an answer to the silent question.

 

 

“Yes Quatre we are together. You and that space-heart of yours is too much sometimes, geez.”

 

 

“Oh Duo! Heero! I'm so happy for you both!” Quatre suddenly jumped up and ran around the other side and gave them both a hug. He released them then returned to his boyfriend's side and pulled him close in a hug as well so he wouldn't be left out. Trowa returned the hug and pulled Quatre into his lap and wrapped his arms around the blonde-one's waist holding him close to his chest.

 

 

 

“So when did this start? It couldn't have been too long ago. I would of felt something like this. You both look so happy and very cute with the blush that's covering both your cheeks. Aren't they cute Trowa?” Quatre asked his love.

 

 

 

“Yes they look very cute.” Trowa answered not wanting to embarrass the two even more than they already were. It was nice to see them both like this, though he didn't think he would like it if the tables were turned again. All the gundam pilots accepted his and Quatre's relationship as long as they fought just as hard as they already had done prior to their announcement of being a couple. He smiled again as he realized how lucky he was to have someone as caring and gentle as Quatre.

 

 

“I think we should leave them alone for a bit little one. I think they have had enough for the moment you can bother them later.” Trowa said and noticed the looks of relief that spread across Heero and Duo's face at him.

 

 

“But Trowaaaaaaaaa. I want to know now.” He turned his face at his lover and got a soft kiss planted on his lips. That silenced the blonde and distracted him as well. Trowa continued to kiss Quatre and made a shooing notion with his hand that wasn't wrapped around Quatre's waist at the other two. Heero and Duo both got up silently and left the kitchen as Trowa continued to ravage his loved one's soft lips and moaning in contentment.

 

 

 

Heero and Duo both raced upstairs to their room and shut the door and locked it. Both hoping that Trowa would keep Quatre distracted and away from them for a while until their heart rates would settle back to normal. Duo let out a huge sigh and Heero looked over at him with a puzzled expression.

 

 

 

“Well I think that went well. We didn't even have to tell them we are together. Quatre let his space-heart do it for us.” Duo smirked at how abruptly Quatre had directed his question at him. Pushing his bangs out of his face he looked over at Heero and gave him a quizzical look. Heero just returned it not understanding what Duo was looking at him for.

 

 

“So Hee-chan do you want to have some fun like Q and Tro are downstairs?” Duo arched his eyebrow and gave Heero a sultry look. Heero felt warmth spread over his cheeks and nodded his head. Duo quickly ran over and pushed Heero into the wall and proceeded to kiss his love senseless until they both had to stop for breath, panting to refill their oxygen deprived lungs. Duo then leaned down and picked Heero up in his arms and over to Heero's bed and deposited his precious bundle on the soft covers and laid down next to him. Heero curled up on his chest and wrapped his arm around Duo's waist.

 

 

“Why don't we just lay here for a while Hee-chan and just enjoy each other?” Duo asked of him. Heero answered reaching up and softly kissing Duo's lips. Duo returned the kisses then an idea popped into his head.

 

 

“Hey Heero? Do you want to go for a walk with me outside? We can sit in the sun for while and feel the grass beneath our feet. I haven't done that in ages.” Duo mused.

 

 

“I would love to Duo.” Heero replied and let Duo guide him once again. Through the safe house and sunk quietly past the kitchen where they could hear moans coming from the now closed door. They were silent until they got outside.

 

 

“Wow I bet I know what Q and Tro are doing in there. We better not go back in there for a while. Although I really don't think we'll have to worry too much about them coming out here.” Duo smirked at Heero. His smirk quickly left his face when he noticed Heero's face was downcast and turned away from him. Although he still had Heero's hand entwined with his. Duo gave his hand a shake and brought his other hand up to Heero's chin to make Heero face him. His face looked sad and seemed to be having an inner conflict in his head.

 

 

“Hey Heero? What's the matter love? What's got you so sad all of a sudden? Come on tell me.” Duo quietly pleaded. He couldn't think of anything that would make Heero sad. It just didn't make sense. He was happy one minute sad the next. “ Come on Heero just tell me what's wrong.”

 

 

“…Are you sure you want to wait for me Duo?” Heero whispered. Duo barely heard him. Then he was shocked to think that Heero was ashamed of himself. Heero was scared of Duo not meaning what he said earlier about them waiting to have sex. It seemed, to Duo that Heero thought that if he didn't give himself to Duo soon and let him take his virginity away, Duo would leave him. Quatre and Trowa had already confirmed their relationship and were doing everything people in a relationship could do. But Heero was never in a relationship he didn't know what to do or how to perform certain things that went on. No one ever taught him those kinds of things.

 

 

“Heero look at me, please?” Duo pleaded. Heero slowly turned toward him warily. “Heero I will never leave you. I know this is about waiting for us to have sex and you thinking that I will leave you if we don't fuck soon.” Heero looked down at the ground and Duo knew he had guessed right. “Heero relationships aren't about having sex all the time they are about spending time with the person you love and getting to know them. I don't want you and love you because you are beautiful and are good looking or because I need to release sexual tension. I love you because of who you are and what I feel for you. The real you, that you have shown me and I love you with all my heart and soul. Now stop being silly and come and sit with me in the sun.” Duo stated and then kissed Heero to show how much he loved him. Heero returned the kiss with just as much passion, feeling silly for thinking that Duo would shove him away.

 

 

Duo then lifted Heero up in his strong arms and sat underneath a tree with Heero in his lap, in the afternoon sunlight. They enjoyed the gentle breezes the traveled in the air and mussed their hair with its soft caress over their skin as well. Loving the warmth of the sun beating down on them as well as the feeling of love that passed between them.
