Chapter 8

Duo's POV

I think Heero is really sweet. He's just the kind of guy you want to cuddle with all day. Our kinda sorta date was really fun. We talked about everything from music, to sports. Even though neither of us are very big sports fans. We are now just finishing up our lovely breakfast. I am really hoping he doesn't insist on paying. I don't think we're at that stage yet. I start to reach for my wallet.

“No, don't worry about it.” Heero says as he gets out his own wallet. See I told you he was gonna do it.

“Let's just pay for our own food. So we don't end up fighting about it, deal?” I just wanted to get through this without ruining my good mood. Especially now that we've established our feelings for each other. Luckily, he agrees and puts his share on the table and I do the same.

“Shall we go?” he asks as we just stare at each other. I have a feeling these first few weeks will be full of staring contests. But I can't complain. He has nice eyes.

“Yeah, where do you want to go?”

“I'd still love to see the rest of your apartment, if that's ok.” I was surprised he wanted to do that. I mean it's not even our first date and he… I shouldn't read too much into it. Don't want to be disappointed.

“Sure, let's go.”

Heero's POV

DAMIT! I'm so stupid. I probably just scared him off now that I mentioned going back to his apartment. He probably thinks I just want him for sex. We've just arrived at his apartment now and we're just staring at each other. This is the most awkward moment I've ever experienced.

“What are your intentions?” What does he mean by that? He just asks me out of nowhere. I have to think fast I don't want to drive him away.

“I just want to get to know you. I don't want you to think that I just want you for sex. I don't intend to leave you.” That sounded too desperate. I just hope he believes me because I'm telling the truth. Even though I've only known him for a short time, I know that I would never willingly leave him.

“Good, because I've had a lot of bad relationships, and most of them were based on sex. I don't want to get hurt again.” Oh god, I made him cry. I'm such a bastard!

“Duo, I didn't mean to upset you. I promise that I'll never hurt you or leave you.” I take a few steps toward him and wrap my arms around him. He immediately hugs me back and it seems like he's desperately trying to hang on to me.

“It's not your fault Heero. I just want a relationship that lasts for more than three seconds.” He steps out of my embrace and wipes his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt. I feel so helpless just standing here not knowing what to do.

“Sorry about that. I get emotional sometimes. Usually all that shit comes out in my music. Speaking of which, would you like to hear a song I'm working on?” I smile at him and nod. He takes my hand and leads me to his studio nestled in the back of his apartment. It's a very nice and spacious room with sound/recording equipment, guitars, a bass, and lots of other instruments. I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time here with the rest of the band. Duo went over to a filing cabinet and opened the second drawer. Reaching in, he drew out a folder and starts to look through it. He pulls out the pages he needs and motions for me to sit in one of the comfortable looking chairs in the middle of the room.

“Ok, I've been working on this for about a week.” I listen as he starts to recite the lyrics.

“So much that I can't say to you

My voice shakes, from the hurt that I hide.”

I hold up my hand stopping him. He looks at me with this horrible hurt that makes me want to kill myself for being so stupid. I act fast.

“Could you sing it?” He instantly looses the hurt look and smiles at me then nods.

“Ashamed of my existence,

And of my petty often wounded pride.

I'd like to come home to see you,

And to catch your sickness by the bedside.

But then you know how much I

Really need you.

All the love in an instant

Makes my life stop.

But then my heat for you

Makes my feelings all together drop.

If only I were bind to your

Selfish fling

And your desperate cause

And didn't press you for the details

That threaten my physical flaws

I'd like to come home to see you

And embrace your illness under soft light

But then you'd know how much I really need you

All the love in an instant

Makes my life stop

But then my heat for you

Makes my feelings altogether drop. “He stopped singing and looked up at me.

“That's as far as I've gotten.” He looks so shy and I can see a tinge of red on his cheeks.

“I thought it was incredible.” I say softly. I can't help it. I lean in toward him and softly brush my lips against his. He responds very quickly, almost desperately and we kiss for a very long time until the need for air arises. We separate and I can see the want in his eyes. I look at him as if to say `are you sure?' He nods, grabs my hand and leads me to his bedroom.

3rd person POV

They enter the bedroom still holding hands. Duo shuts the door behind them and drags Heero over to the bed. Heero sinks down onto the soft comforter and pulls Duo down with him. They kiss some more and their hands roam anywhere they can reach. Duo finds the hem of Heero's shirt and raises it up over his head and off his body. He admires Heero's muscular chest while Heero is busy taking off Duo's shirt. In the middle of their make-out session, Duo has a startling thought.

`What the hell am I doing? He's going to think I'm a complete slut. I can't do this yet. We're clearly not ready. I mean, we haven't even been on a real date yet. I have to stop this.' He puts his hand on Heero's chest and pushes him gently away, which breaks their kiss.

“Duo, what's wrong? Did I hurt you?” Heero asks with a worried look. Duo just shakes his head.

“Heero, you know as well as I do that we're not ready for this. I think we should take this relationship one step at a time. I really don't want to get hurt again. Doing this is just going to set me up for that, I know it.” Heero looks at Duo for a minute and then nods.

“We can wait. I want you to be ok with this. So I'll be ready when you are.” He takes Duo into his arms and kisses him reassuringly.

“Thanks Heero, I really appreciate you saying that. It shows that you actually want this to work.”

“Of course I want it to work; I don't intend to hurt you Duo, ever.”

“Thanks Heero. Now, why don't we head down to the recording studio, I think I want to start recording that song I showed you earlier? Maybe teach you the part for the guitar so you can play with me.”

“That sounds good to me.” He helps Duo to stand and they redress. They head out the door hand and hand to Heero's car and the recording studio.
