Precious pt.4

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. If I did, you'd know it. -Sighs-

Author Notes: WHOA! I definitely got more reviews than I expected! I woke up and checked my email, and to my amazement, review notices filled my vision. -Sigh- It was what I'd like to call a Kodak moment. You don't know how much these reviews mean to me.

Well! That's enough of the mushy stuff, now on to Duo and Une!!!!

Who would be out there this late? Whoever's out there doesn't seem to mind. Une opened the door and called out to the figure.

"Hey, the party's over."

"So it is, is it?"

Une's eyes widened as she realized the guest was, in fact, Duo Maxwell.

"Oh Duo, I couldn't recognize you in the shadows like that."

"Well of course. It is my element after all."

Duo kept his head forward and his relaxed posture did not change for her. It seemed as if he was in thought. To her, it was kind of awkward.

Then, a thought came to her. Perhaps she had had too much wine, because she asked him as soon as thought it.

"May I ask, what happened with Hilde?"

Duo spared her a sidelong glance, then shrugged.

" I told her I only looked at her as a little sister, and she threw me out. Not much else to say."

"Oh."

"My turn. How's it going with you and Marimeia?"

"It's hard sometimes, because I don't know what I'm doing. I know that she looks up to me, but I don't know if I'm really a mother to her."

Une sighed. I really must be drunk, she mused.

" I can't really describe it. I mean, we get along, we laugh, we talk sometimes, but when I think of Master Treize, I can't help but think I fall short in everything I do for Marimeia. Marimeia means so much to me. I'd do anything for her. I just don't know if that's enough…"

Suddenly she was enveloped in warmth. She rested her cheek on Duo's chest as he hugged her to him. It was…comforting.

"As long as you try…as long as you love her, you'll never disappoint Treize or Marimeia."

Une smiled at that.

"Thank you."

They stayed like that. Duo held her, protecting her from the wind, and taking the brunt of it himself.

*Her skin feels so soft…*

*I didn't realize Duo was taller than me! I didn't notice he had muscles either!! Where have I been!?! *

Out of the blue, the grandfather clock struck three. Then, Duo tensed up and grunted.

"What's wrong?"

He loosened up a bit and held her closer.

"Oi, nothing's wrong. I just didn't know it was so late! I gotta get up early tomorrow!"

"I didn't know you went to church."

"Oh no, nothing like that! I just gotta catch this, uh, show."

His grip on her loosened and he stepped back and looked at her.

"Excuse my drunkenness."

Une looked up, confused.

"What are you talking abou…"

Duo had cut her off when he had put his mouth on hers. Une stood there in shock, before allowing herself to close her eyes and enjoy it. One hand lay on his chest, while the other drifted back to grab onto his braid.

Duo's hands were busy as well. One hand lay at the base of her neck, under all her hair. The other was on her waist.

For that moment, the wind could not touch them, for they were engulfed in the heat of the moment.

Duo's tongue asked for entrance, and it was not denied. Une let him explore her mouth, let him plunder it, let him take over. It was arousing to say the least. She felt Duo tense for just a second, before he finally ended the kiss. He looked at her with a smile that was real.

"I gotta go, but I'll see you Monday."

"Mmm, sure."

Une felt herself blush as his eyes raked over her one last time.

With one, last, cocky smirk, Duo took his leave and went inside to get his stuff and leave. That left Une outside, alone, and confused.

"Way to leave a girl hot and bothered," she muttered.

After wasting about five minutes trying to decide her feelings, she gave up and went inside as well. For the umpteenth time that night, she sighed.

"I'll never figure him out…"
