*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In the middle of the dance floor, I stopped dead. I had been dragging Duo in the general direction of the Men's Room, but I suddenly realised exactly what I was doing. This wasn't right.

"What's up, Heero?" Duo asked from behind me. I gently dropped his wrist and looked at him.

His eyes were filled with lust and a good dash of passion, but I couldn't recognise the love that I had wanted, needed. I didn't want to enter into a relationship with Duo simply because he could get me hot and steamy. I loved him, and I am sure that he loved me. But he was still on the rebound.

"Duo. . . I can't do this. . . not yet." I knew that my voice was barely audible above the music, but Duo could read lips as well as I could.

He looked at me with understanding in his eyes, all pervious traces of lust gone.

"You want to go outside for a bit? There's a park near here." Duo asked concernedly.

"Hn. Well, we do need to speak about this."

Duo nods and grasps my hand in his. We walk up to Quatre and Trowa, giving them back their. . . necessity and told them that we would find our own way home. They just nodded, perfectly understanding at the serious looks we now had on our faces. They shared a knowing look just before we walked away. Obviously they had gone through the `love not, lust not' stage as well.

As we walked through the pressing bodies, I wasn't nearly as awestruck as I was before. I /never/ thought that I would see the day when I was reduced to drooling. I guess there is a first time for everything. But now, with Duo by my side, holding my hand, even in my. . . excited state, I didn't feel the complete awe and lust that I had before.

As we walked out, I heard a jazzed up version of one of my favourite songs.

//Dreams come true they do

Dreams come true

From all of us to all of you they do

Don't you know that dreams come true

Love is just a second away

(Better take a look inside)

Make that magic rule, let the miracle stay

(You gotta take a look inside)// [1]

Once we were out on the street, we put back on the clothing we had loosened or taken off while we were in the club. It wasn't exactly acceptable to be walking around the streets at night without a shirt. Duo still had my hand in his as we walked to a nearby park.

A light breeze shifted through our clothing, pulling lose strands of hair onto Duo's face and cooling our bodies down. By the time we reached the enterance to the park we had cooled off, the only warm part of exposed skin being that which was on the hand interlaced perfectly with another.

The sky was full of stars, or what appeared to be stars but were really colonies. It couldn't get much more romantic than this. We sat simultaneously, side by side on a bench in a secluded corner of the park. A car pulled up across the street, headlights turning off immediately to plunge us into darkness, only the watery light emitting from the sky to make out each others features.

"Duo, I. . ." I couldn't continue. My words caught in my throat. I knew that it would sound like I doubted our love if I voiced what I felt.

He lifted his hand and placed one finger on my lips.

"Shh. . . It's cool. I understand. I guess I am still on the rebound." His voice was thoughtful and serious.

I felt a flood of relief. He understood. "Thank-you, Duo. We will eventually, we have the rest of our lives together."

He smiled at me and I knew that we loved each other. Just a little while longer and it would be fine; he would be over Hilde completely and I would have no need for concern. We leaned in and shared a kiss. Chaste at first, it deepened, allowing us to convey our feelings in a more intimate way than words.

"Yeah," Duo whispered against my lips. "The rest of our lives." A small smile flickered across his face, then his eyes widened.

Duo was suddenly pulled away from me, and I saw stars as someone struck my head while my senses we still dulled by the intensity of the kiss I had shared with Duo. Just before I passed out I heard Hilde's voice.

"It's a shame that the `rest of your life' ended tonight then, Duo." the smug smirk in the words and the blurred outline of Duo being dragged off filling me with hate and despair as the blackness claimed me.
