______________________________________________________________ _________

Heero carefully locked the door from the outside, placed his backpack next to the doorframe and let go of the door. It stayed open only a few centimeters but luckily didn't close. Heero didn't like to be trapped inside when he had the intention to get Duo and himself out of here.

Content with his handiwork he looked around in the dark room. It hadn't changed a bit.

Oh well, instead of skirts and blouses you now saw black jeans and t-shirts lying on the floor but the room itself was still the same. On the heavy desk at the other side of the room stood a vase full of flowers of all kind. Maybe Duo had flowers instead of a photograph to be reminded of Heero, just like Heero only needed to look at his laptop to recall the countless occasions when Duo had looked over his shoulder, breathing closely to his ear. Just when he thought of it now shivers of excitement ran down his spine.

Silently Heero made his way over to big four-poster bed where he knew he would find what he was searching for.

On the nightstand was a plate with the leftovers of chocolate cookies and an almost empty glass of milk. Obviously there were some people in this house that still cared about Duo. Heero remembered the nanny to be very friendly and protective towards Duo as he sat down the bed, carefully avoiding to make any noise and his features softened as he spotted the sleeping form on the big bed.
Ignoring his loudly ticking inner clock that told him he had to get the hell outta there he sat down on the edge and smiled as he let his eyes wander over the slim form of his sleeping beauty. Duo's legs were severely entangled with the bed's sheets as he lay on his stomach with his head buried in the pillow he was clutching tightly. His braid wriggled its way over his back and he would send it to move the other direction whenever he tossed his head from time to time. Thus he once laid it before Heero who didn't need much thinking to give in to the temptation and took it carefully in his hands.

It felt as soft and smooth as he remembered it.

[Such a beauty trapped in something as simple as a plait...]

It pleaded to be set free.

Slowly Heero removed the black rubber at the end and watched in awe how the tresses started moving on their own, disentangling from the thick plait they formed. Heero brushed the hair with his fingers until it formed another layer that covered Duo. Oh, how he had longed for the feeling of those silky strands He wanted to wrap himself in this softness and never let go anymore.

He twirled one strand around his index finger just to let it go and watch in astonishment how it unwrapped itself and fell down to lie among the others again. With a tiny smile on his lips he stroked along the beautiful mass.

After a few minutes, when only Duo's even breathing was heard, Heero's hand had reached up to his face and brushed the bangs tenderly out of the heart-shaped face. Still surprised that Duo hadn't woken up by now he cupped the sleeping boy's cheek and let his thumb trace those soft pink lips, parting them slightly and wiping away some cookie crumbs. Slowly he dove down to kiss the strawberry-like sweets, nibbling softly at the lower lip.

Just then he felt Duo waking up. The braided boy moaned a little at the unexpected feeling against his lips. Just then he realized what was happening to him and he gasped in surprise thus he opened his eyes widely and gave Heero access to his mouth. Hazed blue violet eyes stared into deep Prussian blue ones as Duo's still half-asleep brain tried to find out what was happening to him.

One thing was for sure, he knew the person who was kissing him, he could tell just by the familiar feeling of an eager tongue that was caressing the inwards of his mouth. And he knew those beautiful eyes as well. Eyes that were as deep as outer space and usually just as cold. But with him they blazed like a sun. And a happy feeling in his stomach told him that this was no one who wanted hurt him. In fact he could tell that it was the person who he worshipped most in this universe.

When realization hit him in the face he jumped up and glomped the other boy, making him gasp in surprise as he took over control of the kiss. He held Heero as closely as he was able to, having missed him more than anything before in his life.

Heero on the other hand returned the embrace and the kiss just as fiercely as he received it, feeling the same bliss of reunion as Duo. This was were he belonged, this felt right, Duo's lips against his, tongues caressing each other's inner cheeks and arms wrapped tightly around their bodies.

Though neither wanted to break the kiss but after several minutes they had to because of the lack of air. Both breathing heavily they sat on the bed, never wanting to let go of the other. Heero was the first to regain the ability to speak.

"Duo, I..."

Somehow everything that he wanted to say seemed to be inappropriate then and there. Every intelligent thought left his mind just by the sight of those shining blue violet orbs he loved to drown in.

"I missed you. I... I've never felt this lonely before..."

"I know," Duo smiled. "I've felt the same."

They looked at each other for a few more seconds, almost forgetting everything around them.

"How's Relena?"

Heero grimaced as he saw the hurt in Duo's eyes though the braided one tried to hide it with his usual cheerfulness.

"She's fine. I asked Wufei to take care of her."

"So Wu-man has to look after your little princess, huh?"

[*My* princess?]

He stared terrified at Duo.

"You read the newspapers."

Duo glared.

"Of course I did! Hell, what else could I do when I was bored like hell without you? And it wasn't like one could ignore all those nice little pictures and the huge headlines à la `The Former Queen of the World and Her Perfect Soldier´." He looked extremely hurt. "Hell, why do you think did I put up that little performance, huh? To remind you that you still have *me*!"

Heero winced at what Duo accused him to have done while he was away.

"Duo."

Duo still glared at him. Heero was almost unable to believe that he had been kissed so passionately by this growling fierce animal just a few moments ago.

"I saw a picture of how you two kissed at this premiere. And just today I saw a picture of how you embraced her and you two did wear *nothing*!"

Heero cursed inwardly and vowed he'd kill the next paparazzi that came near to him. Pictures of him and Relena were really published faster than one could say `Operation Meteor´.

"Duo, did you really see how my lips touched hers?"

"Of course!" Duo blurted out before thinking. Then he blinked in confusion. "Just as you say it now... I didn't. But you were close!"

"I told her to hurry up a bit with her toilet so we could leave that boring place as fast as possible. I was really tired and pissed off that day."

Duo scowled but Heero could see that he really wanted to believe him.

"And the other thing?"

Heero sighed.

"That happened just after I've seen your video. We were swimming in the back yard and we *did* wear clothes. Bathing clothes to be exact. But I was so out of my mind that I didn't have *any* control over my actions. Heh, I even thought it was you who I was holding."

Heero felt slightly uncomfortable that his thoughts had wandered so far that he thought of having sex with Relena but he shoved that away because now that he had Duo back in his arms all he could think of was the braided baka. He almost even forgot why he was here in the first place.

Duo raised one eyebrow.

"You mean really nothing happened between you two?"

Heero shook his head.

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Aa."

"Really really?"

"Hai."

"Oi, Heero!"

With that the longhaired youth glomped Heero again and kissed him all over his face. The Japanese felt as if he was under the ministrations of a very happy dog who licked all over his face.

"Hey, Duo... stop that... haha... this tickles," he chuckled.

But Duo was much too happy that he had managed to make the stoic youth laugh to just stop now. He pulled Heero closer to him and forced him to lie on the bed beneath him, straddling him. Then he widened his range of kissing and moved on to Heero's neck, lapping at the hollow of his collarbones and nibbling on his Adam's apple, eliciting a moan of pleasure from his usually silent koibito.

"Duo..."

"You like that, don't you, huh?"

"Duo, please..."

Taking this as an encouragement the braided youth moved on kissing muscled shoulders and started to push away the green tank top. What he didn't expect was the low growl that formed in Heero's throat and the rather harsh pull on his ears. Within nanoseconds he was face to face with Heero.

"Ouch!"

"Duo... please stop..." came the husky request. "We need to get out of here."

Sitting back to sit on Heero's thighs and rubbing his ears Duo pouted down on him.

"You're always stopping me when I take over control..."

"But it is necessary. This place will be blown into pieces in less than an hour."

Duo's eyes grew unbelievingly big.

"You mean... you..."

Heero nodded.

"I placed timers on the explosives around here everywhere. They will go off in precisely 52 minutes and 49 seconds."

Duo jumped off the bed.

"And what about the people who live here?"

Heero's look was as cold as ice but held some pity in it as well while Duo hastily pulled on some clothes.

"I have to warn them!" Duo shouted. "Sakura-san... my nanny... she's such a nice woman... She brought me cookies tonight when I was starving although my uncle told everybody to leave me alone..."

Heero climbed off the bed to cross the distance between them and caressed Duo's cheek.

"That's why I woke you up *now*... You have plenty of time to warn whoever you want to save. I'll wait outside for you..."

With that he kissed Duo tenderly and picked up his backpack to open the door.

Duo wasted no time and was out of the room within less than a second. He sped down the hallway as Heero's gaze followed the swishing braid who trotted down the hall afterwards and sneaked out as silently as he had gotten in. Once safe in the car he raised his hand to his face, still feeling Duo's lips ghosting over him.

He smiled.

~z~

Meanwhile Duo ran through the whole house, waking up the people he cherished most in this household. He really had a hard time to figure out if he should tell his uncle as well but decided against it. It was the goal of the mission that senator Secunda was stopped, right? So by telling him now he would screw up everything they had worked for so hard. By the way, it had been the senator himself who had ordered to remove the lock on the inside of Duo's room after they returned from the former hidden and now destroyed MS-base. But that wasn't enough to make Duo want to kill him so he decided to tell him just the very last moment, so he only had the time to save himself.

He had woken up nearly everybody in the house and started speeding towards his uncle's room. By what Heero had told him he had about 10 minutes left. So he had to leave the house in at least five minutes to be safely out of range when the explosions started.

/Not much time./

He pushed the heavy door open and let his hands roam over the wall where he knew was a switch.

"You don't need to switch on the light."

Startled by the calm voice of his uncle Duo froze where he stood. When his eyes had adjusted to the darkness he saw that his uncle sat in his extremely comfortable leather chair and looked straight up at his nephew.

"Uncle, you must leave immediately! This place will be blown into pieces..."

"I know, young one, I know," the older man sighed.

"Then why are you still here?"

"Do you know the ancient saying that the captain is the last on to leave a sinking ship?"

Duo just stared unbelieving at him. He knew what his uncle meant by this but he couldn't believe it. He wanted to be blown up with his entire surroundings? Was he totally out of his mind? Or was he just too obsessed with his plans that he rather wanted to die than to see them fail, or what?

They stared at each other for several moments, having a stare-fight. Which senator Secunda won.

"But..."

"No buts, young one. Your mission is successful. I am defeated. I know when to make my exit."

"But you're my uncle and..."

"It doesn't matter. I am very happy that I found you at last but now we have to part forever. I know you'll be happy with your Perfect Soldier," the senator muttered.

Duo blushed but realized that there was no way for him to convince his uncle to leave. Yet there was one question that was on his mind.

"What do you know about my mother?" he asked, his heart beating up to his collar.

His uncle looked only half-strtled by this sudden question. He had expected it to come one day or the other. And this was Duo's last opportunity.

"You mean, do I know why she abandoned you?"

Duo nodded. He was anxious to know why he was destined to be the orphan he grew up as.

His uncle looked at him for a considerably long time as Duo literally heard the time ticking away.

/Only five more minutes to go... Shit! This gotta be quick!/

"You really want to know what I know?" the older man repeated. Duo nodded.
"Well, I know nothing. I was just as surprised as you were when I told you."

"You mean I stayed here for *nothing*?" Duo blurted out.

His uncle's eyes widened and then he laughed.

"I will really miss you where I go, Duo. You shine like a supernova, making everyone happy with just your presence," he said, still laughing. "No surprise that cool boy fell in love with you. You two seem to be destined for each other... Now go. I don't want you to see an old man die."

He waved with his arm, gesturing Duo to leave for ever.

The American hesitated a few seconds before he crossed the room to hug his uncle. This was all he was able to think of to show how he felt despite of how he was treated the last day. Usually his uncle had been all nice and open to him and he got everything he wished for. Just when it came to the senator's war plans the older man became as cold as ice. Thinking of it now Duo was reminded al lot of Heero when he tried to describe the determined politician. Just that Heero would *never* think of taking over the world. {1}

/Okay, only three minutes left, I *really* have to go now!/

He let go of his uncle and turned around without chancing another glance at the man that was the only family he ever had... And ran to the people that he had always considered as more than a family.

To be continued...

Finally!
Well those lemons really write themselves now... It's kinda embarrassing but I *absolutely* didn't plan what happened in this chapter. Oh well, I did plan that Heero woke up Duo to save him and that he gave him the chance to save the others but everything else just popped into my mind while I wrote it... Hope ya liked it!
Please R&R!
