Ohayo--Good morning.
Kisama--A rude way of saying "you." If yelled by itself, it's best translated as "bastard" or "bitch."

AC 195 Christmas morning

Duo awoke early in the morning with a happy sigh. He stared up at the ceiling and smiled. Wow, what a dream he'd had last night! First, he'd dreamed that the war had ended and that he and the other pilots were all staying at a fancy resort in the L-1 colony cluster. Then, after having an unusual conversation with Heero, they went back to his room and made love. He'd had such dreams about Heero several times before, but this one had been the most realistic he'd ever had. It seemed so real, his body almost felt sore as if something really had happened. He closed his eyes and rolled over to try to fall back asleep, hoping he would have another dream like that one if he did.

Duo froze as his body encountered another one in the bed. His eyes snapped open and he was greeted by Heero's sleeping face. 'Holy shit, it wasn't a dream!' Duo stared at Heero in disbelief; things this great never happened to him! He usually had rotten luck, but for once, something he'd waited for and wished for for so long had actually happened! He grinned and snuggled under the covers as he remembered some of the details of the night before. Until then, he'd never even kissed anyone, let alone had sex. Knowing Heero's attitude towards other people, he doubted he had, either. Since neither of them had any experience in the matter, they'd had to make their own rules. The result, Duo thought, was very sensual and exciting. Every touch, every kiss had seemed so loving and significant. The mostly gentle, occasionally teasing patterns of their lovemaking had been extremely satisfying, in more ways than one. But the most amazing of all, to Duo, was watching Heero's face. The usual cold, hard stare and icy expression were gone. They had been replaced with a warm, caring, smiling face. Yes, smiling! Sure, Duo had seen Heero smile before, but only the psychotic grin he got after blowing up an enemy. This smile had looked like that of someone who was truly happy. This fact made Duo feel like the greatest person to ever walk the Earth; he was the one who had made Heero that happy! There was probably no one else who had ever seen Heero smile like that. Duo let out another sigh as he recalled all of this about the night before. It had been, without a doubt, not only the best, but also the most meaningful night of his life. Duo closed his eyes and relaxed, letting the warmth radiating from Heero's body guide him back to his blissful sleep.

Before he could fall back asleep, however, his eyes snapped open as another, more disturbing thought entered his mind. Yes, he knew that last night had meant a lot to him, but what did it mean to Heero? He could tell that Heero was definitely enjoying what they were doing, but did it have the same emotional significance for him as it had for Duo? Heero had looked happy, but that didn't necessarily mean Duo was making him happy. Maybe he was just happy the war was over. The more Duo thought about it, the more it made sense to him. Heero had never really shown any desire to be with Duo before, and suddenly, on the night the war ended, the two of them ended up in bed together. Maybe Heero just wanted a way to celebrate the end of the war, and there Duo was, practically challenging Heero to do something, so he had just done it. 'Of course, that must be it...Geez, what was I thinking? Baka baka baka!' Duo scolded himself. Duo was beginning to feel very uncomfortable, so he decided maybe it would be best if he just left before Heero woke up. As he started to move to get out of the bed, however, Heero's eyes snapped opened. Duo froze in that icy glare. "Uhh...Heero!...O-ohayo..."

"Ohayo," Heero replied gruffly, not showing any of the emotion Duo had seen the night before, confirming his assumptions even further. If only he knew what Heero was really thinking...

Although Heero was not showing it outwardly, he was the happiest he had ever been in his short fifteen years of life. Sure, he was scared as hell, but he was still happy. He had never imagined that Duo would even accept the feelings he had been hiding the past few months; the fact that Duo returned his feelings just as strongly was shocking. He wished he could tell Duo how much he meant to him, but he couldn't. Although he claimed to live by his emotions, he was more used to running and hiding from them, and this case was no exception. There was no way he could actually say what he was feeling. Heero decided not to worry about it, as the situation would most likely resolve itself. After all, Duo certainly wasn't one to hide his emotions, so he could just wait for Duo to say what he was feeling and then just go along with him...

"Umm...Heero, I know what you must be thinking right now..." Duo began, trying to think of how to say what he thought Heero wanted to hear. "And I just want to say that I had a great time with you last night..."

Heero began to smile inwardly. 'Yep, here he goes,' he thought.

"But...I realize that at times when you're feeling extreme emotions, such as at the end of a war, you might end up doing things you wouldn't normally do..."

Heero looked confused. This wasn't what he had been expecting at all. "What?"

"Listen, Heero, what I'm saying is that I understand that this was just your way of expressing the happiness you felt because of the end of the war. I'm not saying that I'm sorry we did it, Heero, because...last night was the most wonderful night of my life. I was happy to be here to share myself with you...after all, I consider you to be my closest friend..." Duo was beginning to get choked up, so he got out of bed and started putting his clothes back on.

All Heero could do was sit on the bed in shock. He wanted to tell Duo he was wrong. In his mind, he was screaming out that the night they spent together wasn't just a celebration of the end of the war, but the true expression of the emotions he was feeling. He wanted so badly to say something, but all he could do was watch Duo move silently through the room in the soft glow of the light from the rising sun.

After Duo finished getting dressed, he walked over to the door to leave. He opened the door and started to step out, but first he turned around. "Oh, and Heero?"

"Hmmm?"

Duo smiled at him. "Merry Christmas..." With that, he left the room, shutting the door softly behind him.

Heero could only sit on the bed in shock. 'What the hell just happened?'* * * * * * * * * *

Duo entered his room and slumped against the door upon shutting it. He let out a sigh. 'Man, I've really gotten myself into a mess this time...What am I gonna do?' He felt like something was crawling down his face, so he reached up to swat away whatever it was. He was surprised when his hand came back wet. 'Woah...it's been a long time since I last cried...' Duo thought back and realized that he hadn't cried since the Maxwell church had been destroyed...when Sister Helen had died in his arms. That had been seven, almost eight years ago. After that, whenever he'd felt like crying, he'd just tell himself, 'Come on, Duo. You're a boy. You can handle it.' Now, here he was, crying over Heero. "You're pathetic, Duo," he told himself. He sat down on his bed and thought about the situation for a few minutes, trying to console himself. He realized he would have to think rationally about it and stay in touch with reality. He certainly didn't want to just go off into his own little magic fantasy world like Relena did. The thought of that really caused a breakthrough for Duo. He'd be damned if he started following Heero around like a lost puppy dog the way Relena did, always holding on to the delusion that either Heero was already in love with her, or that Heero would fall in love with her if she hung around him enough. No way would he end up like that! He had to deal with things more maturely than Relena. He decided that he would try not to worry about the situation too much. Yes, he loved Heero, but if Heero didn't love him back, there was nothing he could do about it. He wasn't going to start hanging around him more, trying to make Heero change his mind. Instead, he would just try to pretend things were normal and hope they could go back to being friends. He would love to be more than just a friend to Heero, but if friendship was the most he could get, Duo would gladly take that, too. He couldn't stand to lose Heero altogether.

Now that Duo had decided what to do, he stood up to go take a shower. He realized just how sore his body was as he walked and grinned. Sure, they'd probably never do anything like what they had done the previous night again, but that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy thinking about it...

Duo thought about Heero all through his time in the shower. He could smell his scent on his own body, and could imagine his usually rough hands gently stroking him, and he could almost feel his...'Stop!' Duo reminded himself. 'You decided to just be his friend, remember?' Duo sighed. It would probably take him awhile to stop thinking about Heero in "that" way, but he had to try. But still...hey, it was only the morning after, and since it would take awhile, there was no point of him depriving himself at the moment. Duo's thoughts drifted back to Heero, and his touch, and his...

After Duo finished his shower (Which had taken a reeeally long time ^_^), he started to get dressed. Upon realizing that he only had two pairs of clothes with him, he decided he needed to go shopping after he got some breakfast. After all, they had a party to attend later, and Duo wanted to look his best...

Tsuzuku...* * * * * * * * * *

Spazz's Omake Theater!

Spazz: Daaaamn, this took a long time to write! I'm sorry! I was lazy 'n' stuff, ya know? And busy expanding my collection of the wily and elusive Chibi. *Points to several Poke balls*

Voice from inside Poke ball: Hey! Let me out or I'll Final Flash your ash...err, ass!

Spazz: No way! It took me forever to catch you.

VFIPB: Fine. Big Bang Attack! *Ball begins to glow gold, then explodes. A Chibi Super Saiyan Vegeta pops out* There. *De-super saiyans* (Look! I made a new verb ^_^) Kisama! What makes you think you have the right to capture me, Prince of all the Saiyans, in a Poke ball?

Spazz: First of all...Prince of ALL the Saiyans? What, all two of you? Well, of course, there are all those half-Saiyans running around.

Chibi Vegeta: *Clenches fists* That damn Kakarrot! Defiling the purity of our race by shacking up with some Earth woman!

Spazz: Uh, you did the same thing too, ya know. Do the names Trunks and Bra sound familiar?

Chibi Vegeta: *Blushes* Shut up! Kakarrot did it first, so all the blame falls on him!

Spazz: Anyway, the reason why I captured you in a Poke ball is 'cause you Saiyans are very similar to Pokemon. Your power level gets higher with every battle, and you fight better after getting the shit beat out of you, just like Pokemon do. Plus, you're Chibi, so you fit inside easily.

Chibi Vegeta: Hn. Well, I don't have time for your crappy explanations. I have a meeting to attend...

Spazz: Meeting?

*Several Chibi chairs appear, making a Chibi circle. One of the Chibi chairs has Chibi Heero sitting in it.* (Chibi overload! *Passes out*)

Chibi Vegeta: *Sits down in a chair*

Chibi Heero: I now call to order this meeting of "The Spandex Support Group." At this meeting, we shall be discussing the benefits of spandex VS other materials for everyday wear...

Spazz: *Pulls Chibi Duo aside, who was watching the meeting* Duo, what the hell are they doing?

Chibi Duo: Heero got fed up with everyone always making fun of his spandex, so he started a support group...

Chibi Heero: ...and it always stays firmly in place, no adjustments needed...

Spazz: Heh heh. I see. *Notices a cloud floating towards the Chibi meeting* What the hell is that? *Reads writing on side of cloud* "Out of character cloud?" What's that thing doing here? They're already Chibi, how much more OOC can they get? *Cloud floats closer to Chibi Heero and Chibi Vegeta*

Chibi Vegeta: ...not to mention showing off the wearer's muscles and... *OOC cloud passes over Chibi Heero and Chibi Vegeta...* ...and...

Chibi Heero & Chibi Vegeta: *Burst into adorable Chibi tears and begin hugging each other*

Chibi Heero: *Sob* Nobody understands me and my spandex!

Chibi Vegeta: *Sniffle* I feel your pain, brother!

Spazz: OK, that's enough! Even though it is adorable...awww *Swoons*...*ahem* but it's time to bring out the cheerful boyfriend and the angry wife to get things back to normal.

*Chibi Duo and Chibi Bulma run out, grab their respective men, and begin *ahem* comforting them.* *Chu chu*

Spazz: *Ahem* Well, if this keeps going, this ending thingy is going to be longer than the actual part itself o_O;; E-mail me at sailorspazz@yahoo.com with comments 'n' stuff, yo. Jaaaaaaaa na!
