Shocked was very clear in Heero's eyes. "A vampire?" He questioned, "This has to be some kind of joke." Looking into Duo's eyes he knew very well it wasn't.

Duo just nodded his head. "Would you like proof?" Duo asked. Not waiting for Heero's reply, he gave a toothy grin and Heero watched in horror and amazement and Duo's canines grew about an inch longer. "Now Heero," Duo started, the smile still lingering on his lips, "Do you feel any different about me?"

'What kind of question is that?' Heero thought to himself.'Of course I feel different about him. How am I supposed to feel even if he looks sexy as hell with teeth like that? Damn I did NOT just say that.' Heero mentally shook his head and tried to steady the rambling inside his mind long enough to give Duo a straight answer.

"Well," Heero started, "I guess I don't, but... I just find this all a bit weird."

"I know what you mean. You knew me only as a human before and now I throw this at you. I'm sorry Heero, but I can't help what I am, any more than I can stop being who I am. The bottom line is can you accept me like this?"

Heero let Duo's question hang in the air as he pondered over it. Duo couldn't prevent himself from being what he was. That was for sure, but were the feelings Heero held for Duo strong enough to make him accept him completely? Heero took in Duo's fanged smile and then his big violet eyes that stared at him full of hope. Duo's small delicate body that he could hold within his arms and in that moment Heero realized that if there was no Duo, then there wouldn't be anyone in his arms. There wouldn't be any one to talk to, kiss, cuddle, and love anymore and that would kill him.

"Yes Duo, I can accept you as you are. Just don't ever leave me."

"I don't plan to Heero..." Duo promised as he looked into Heero's eyes. And then without even thinking of all the years of wanting Heero next to him, wanting to hold him, kiss him, came out and Duo reached over pulled Heero close and kissed ever so softly on the lips.

Heero's shock was written clear across his face, but he soon closed his eyes and leaned more into the kiss. He felt Duo's tongue slide across his bottom lip begging for entrance which he allowed, sending their tongues into a battle.

Pulling back, Duo looked into Heero's eyes, which were at the moment half closed with bliss showing in them. "So Heero, you can really accept me for what I am?" Duo asked once more just to make sure everything was clear.

Opening his eyes all the way Heero spoke. "Of course you may have changed in that way, but I believe you are the same person I remember as my friend."

Duo simply nodded his head and then seemed to be lost in thought. Sighing and smiling softly, Heero just snuggled closer to Duo amazed at all the heat he gave off. Sighing once more Heero begin to drift off to sleep as he felt a blanket being wrapped around him while Duo started to hum an old lullaby that he used to sing to him when they were little. Soon after sleep took him and his dreams were ones of sunshine and Duo laughing.

The next morning Heero awoke to find himself still wrapped in Duo's arms, with Duo's chin resting on his head as he snored lightly. This made Heero smile, he thought he would never see Shin again, but here he was sitting in his lap. This was truly the happiest day of his life and hopefully he would have many more like this one.

Heero quickly snapped out of his thoughts as he felt Duo shift some. Leaning back Duo opened his eyes to see Heero staring up at him. A smile made its way to his lips as he looked at Heero. "Well good morning blue eyes." Duo said with a slight chuckle and a yawn.

Heero let a chuckle of his own escape as he said, "Good morning."

Kissing Heero lightly on the lips, Duo turned, "Well I supposed we better shower and eat."

"Why so soon?" Heero questioned, he thought that they were just going to sit around today.

"Because," Duo started, "We have to go out and get you some more clothing and I have some... umm... well let's just say business to attended too."

Heero nodded his head and was about to move when Duo pulled him back down to his lap. "Well I think we could stay like this a bit longer what do you think?"

Heero just gave a smile and wrapped his arms around Duo for a bit longer, enjoying Duo's warmth and the feel of his arms embracing him.
