______________________________________________________________ _________

Heero had moved the car from its hideout towards the house and waited now patiently in front of the big cast iron gates. He simply sat in the driver's seat, eyes closed, arms folded in front of his chest with his usual peaceful but void-of-emotion expression. But that was only a façade. Inside of him was a fire of emotions and thoughts and all of them were about Duo. His love for the chestnut-haired youth led to fear when he heard the explosions in the armories further away start and the braided baka was still nowhere in sight. It was not like he had forgotten him, was it?

Slowly Heero opened his eyes and turned his head to look into the general direction of the senator's house. A few minutes ago he had seen all the servants leaving, including the Japanese nanny, who had looked a little drowsed, but not the slightest hint of a young man with a waist-long braid or the senator himself.

Heero secretly expected that Duo wanted to save the senator as well since he was his uncle, his only known relative. But on the other hand Duo did take his missions seriously and the goal of this mission was to stop the senator. So according to Heero's intuition and judgement the only way to stop him once and for all would be to kill him.

[...4...3...2...1...now!]

As if on command a loud crash was heard as the first sequence of explosions in the house set off. Heero jumped out of the car and eyed the building with concern. He didn't want to be afraid that Duo was still in there but couldn't help it so he paced nervously in front of the car, waiting for the slightest glimpse of Duo.

[This makes no sense at all! I can wait in the car as well. Either he comes within the next five minutes or he's dead.]

Heero's heart clenched. This would be too cruel. He didn't just come here to see his love die. And to make it even worse he would blame himself for killing the only one he had ever loved.

He was about to go back into the now burning house as a figure in black came sprinting towards the gates.

"Duo!"

Heero stopped his pacing and waited impatiently for the braided baka to get to him. His scowl deepened as he tried to read Duo's expression but he was still too far away.

A few seconds later the long-haired boy stood in front of him, his face hidden behind his bangs as he stared down, shoulders heaving up and down as he tried to catch his breath. Hero waited until Duo had cooled down enough to mutter a few words.

"My uncle... the senator... he is still in the house..." Duo's voice weakened with every word he spoke.

"Sh," Heero hushed and wrapped his arms around the black frame. He was more than just a little surprised that Duo didn't shiver at all. The American must be in very deep shock because he didn't wince even the slightest bit when parts of the burning house collapsed. All he did was hiding his face on Heero's shoulder.

Over all the noise that came from the burning estate and the approaching fire-brigade Heero almost missed Duo's soft mumbling.

"Let's go back home."

Pushing the other away so that he was able to look into his face Heero searched for any trace of pain or grief but found none.

"Duo, are you alright?" he asked, not even trying to hide his concern.

"Yeah, I am."

Heero waited in vain for a long explanation - the kind that Duo usually provided - and his concern deepened. But he decided not to discuss this matter any further. If Duo said he was alright then Heero wouldn't try to tell him that he wasn't.

The black-clad person still stared to the ground, trying to burn a whole into it. Heero didn't dare to look into those huge blue violet eyes, afraid of what he would see. He suspected a blazing fire bathed in tears but as Duo finally looked up he saw...

Nothing.

Not the slightest hint of emotion, no pain, no grief, no tears, no blazing fire, nothing!

That was when he *knew* that Duo wasn't alright. But before he could say a word the usually cheerful youth spoke up again.

"I guess you haven't slept for a day... Where are we going?"

Heero almost shivered because of the lack of emphasis and *feeling* in this almost dead-like voice. It made him feel *very* uncomfortable.

"Uh... um... Wufei... Relena's estate," he managed to get out.

"Understood. You take a rest, I drive."

Somehow Heero had expected that Duo would freak out when he mentioned Relena.

"But..."

"No objections! You sleep. I drive. Get going!"

Too stunned by Duo's harshness Heero nodded and found himself climbing into the passenger's seat as Duo sat down in the driver's seat, started the engine with the keys Heero had left in the ignition and drove away from his burning former home.

The steady roaring sound from the car and the fact the he hadn't slept for more than twenty-four hours made him slowly drift off to dreamland. But before sleep finally claimed him he chanced another glance at his koi.

Duo's eyes were glued to the road, glaring daggers at the innocent concrete and his fingers were clamped around the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles were almost snow white.

With a sigh of relief Heero finally let himself drift away. Duo's shock was slowly fading away. Heero just hoped that he didn't fall unconscious when the effect finally wore off and they were still on the road.

Just then did he fall in a black void.

~z~

[Hmm... warm... and soft...]

Comforting dizziness of sleep faded away slowly and Heero found that he'd like to sleep a little longer. The last day had worn him out more than he thought it would and the last hours of black nothing were really rejuvenating. And now the soft underground, the silky sheets and the smooth arms that were wrapped around him invited him to take another nap.

He snuggled deeper into the embrace, hugging the person that was holding him back tightly. All the bloodshed he had seen was fading away because of this serene moment together with the one he loved. He would be content to die right now and have no regrets.

Reluctantly he opened his eyes and his vision was filled with a peacefully sleeping, almost heat-shaped face, a slightly open mouth and a cute little snoring sound. Duo's hair had escaped his braid and was spread almost all over the silky sheets that Heero instantly remembered as those in Relena's house. So they had managed to get there safely. Now everything would be fine. No more threads, only peace. Sometimes the Preventers knew how to do their job, Heero thought and smirked.

Now he and Duo had more time to be together to cherish each other for being just themselves. He was planning to take at least a month off duty and take Duo on a vacation on some deserted island where the two of them were alone all the time, no mission, no duty, no Princesses that needed his protection, just him and Duo, being at the beach day in day out, swimming, surfing, sleeping...

Somehow the thought of being alone with Duo, having nobody to watch them made him smile and he carefully kissed Duo's cheek. And frowned.

[Salt?]

He kissed the cheeks again and ran his tongue over his own lips. They were definitely salty.

[Probably from dried tears.]

Now that he knew that, it was easy to find the dried paths where the liquid had left its marks. Heero cupped Duo's face with both of his hands and pulled it closer to kiss slightly parted lips with all the love and tenderness he felt inside his long-ignored heart.

He felt that Duo stirred under his kiss as he slowly woke up, his arms around Heero's chest tightening even more. He moaned, still half-asleep but kissing back with all the pent-up emotion inside him, seeking entrance to his mouth which Heero gave happily. He had missed the feeling of Duo in his arms, of his kisses, of his body... He had missed Duo, more than anything ever.

Heero knew that when he watched his video but now it was crystal clear. He never wanted to let go of this incredible person. Duo Maxwell was his life.

Heero bestowed another kiss on tear-stained cheeks and pulled away to look into fathomless blue violet depths.

"Duo, I love you. Ai shiteru."

Tears started welling again in Duo's eyes as he stared back, unbelieving. Then his arms clutched closer, almost breaking Heero's rips.

"Oi, Heero, I missed you! More than anything! Never leave me alone like this again! I love you, too!"

Surprised at the sudden outburst of emotion, although he saw it coming, Heero laid his chin on Duo's chestnut mop.

"I won't. I promise."

They lay there a rather long time, holding each other in their arms, Duo sobbing silently and Heero kissing the top of his head from time to time, mumbling sweet soothing nothings. Soon they both fell asleep again, still to tired and worn out from what had happened the previous day.

~z~

The next time Heero woke up the clock showed that it was four o'clock in the morning. He wondered idly what day it was for it felt to him like he had slept for more than a week. If it was the day he thought it was he had an assignment with Une in six hours. It was very important to him but if he missed it... Well, he couldn't help it then.

Slowly he detached himself from Duo, careful not to wake him.

He needed to take a bath. A nice, hot, steamy and extremely bubbly bath. Yes, bubbles. Heero Yuy, the Perfect Soldier liked bubbles in his bath, so sue him.

He climbed out of the bed without making a sound and went stealthily into the bathroom. He hoped he didn't wake Duo. Peaceful sleep was so seldom in these days and the braided boy looked so relaxed when he slept that Heero didn't have the heart to disturb this sweet slumber.

He turned on the light in the huge bathroom and pulled his tank-top over his head. Tossing the sweaty cloth on the floor he bent over the tub to let some hot water in. He tested the temperature with his right hand, added some cold water and waited until the tub was totally filled. While he waited he took off his other clothes and put them in the basket that he knew would be emptied by some servants later who would clean them.

He bent over the tub again to turn off the water as he heard a movement behind him. He turned his head to see who it was although he was quite sure that only *one* person could walk up behind him without being noticed.

"Duo."

Leaning casually in the doorframe the still black-clad person provided him a big cocky grin.

"Good morning."

"Hn."

Heero turned back around and finally turned off the water. He noticed that Duo didn't move the slightest bit, he just stood in the doorframe and stared at his ass.

Heero grinned as he looked back at his love.

"Like what you see?"

Duo's grin went from cocky to goofy as he couldn't turn his gaze from Heero's butt.

"Huh?"

Heero was sure to see some drool at the corner of his mouth. He wiggled his ass a little bit.

"Wanna have?"

Just as soon as he said these words he knew that he had shocked Duo. Well, at least he was now able to turn his eyes away from Heero's rear.

"WHAT?"

Duo was more than just a little shocked. There stood, no, *bent* Heero, offering his virgin ass to him.

Heero was just as surprised as the braided one. When did he get this *kinky*? Oh well, yeah, when he fell in love with Duo. But he meant what he said, with all his heart.

"Do... do you mean... what I think... what I think you mean?"

Instead of words, Heero had the decency to blush as he spread his legs a little.

Fighting off a massive nosebleed-attack of this very tempting show Duo was really thinking about accepting this offer. That was so *totally* out of character! Normally he would just say "Thank you" and start with whatever he had in mind but this... He couldn't believe that Heero was really doing this.

Heero wiggled his ass again, making Duo groan in need. Duo's pants were getting painfully tight by the picture he was awarded with. He thought he was still dreaming. All of this was just totally *incredible*!

/Unreal.../

Usually Heero was the one in control, even if he was a puddle of need and lust. But right now he was offering Duo the greatest gift he had: control.

Control over the situation, over his body, mind and soul. More than Duo ever believed he could have.

He felt tears welling in his eyes as Heero looked at him again, this time with a slight concern in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Wiping the tears out of his eyes Duo answered, "Nothing. It's just... Oi Heero, I love you!"

He ran over to his lover and slung his arms around the naked body, pulling Heero to stand, bestowing thousands of kisses between his shoulder blades.

Heero felt something satisfyingly hard stabbing in the back of his thigh and he grinned.

"Be gentle."
