The flight was scheduled to leave at eight o'clock Saturday morning and trying to make Duo wake up early enough to get him ready, plus everything he needed to have with him, was an interesting but necessary episode.

I woke Duo up at 6:00 am, his is movements were hesitant and his eyes kept closing even as I stripped him of his clothes with one hand and held him up with the other. I had to set him down on the toilet while I undressed then turned on the shower. I had him naked and in the shower with me in a few minutes, that when the water hit him he jolted upright against me trying to get away from it.

As soon as I had Duo wrapped in my arms and closer to the showerhead and awaiting water, he woke up instantly as the warm water sprinkled down on him. I washed him and then myself in the fastest and most efficient way possible, making sure to not arouse Duo or myself in any way if I could avoid it.

Once I had us out and dried off, Duo seemed to come back to life completely even without his coffee and pulled out what he was going to wear for the flight, which was a pair of well-fitted jeans and a long sleeved black cotton shirt. I chose a pair of loose jeans and a royal blue tee shirt and grabbed my jean jacket out of the closet to finish the outfit. Duo approved, as he looked me up and down, just as I approved of his clothes and scanned him in the same manner.

We were equipped with our packed suitcases, out of our apartment, and on the highway towards the airport in no time. The stewardess seated us in the first-class section of the plane after I showed her our tickets and not soon after that we were up in the air, our destination approaching closer every minute.

"See Hee-chan, Quatre spares no expense in awarding awesome prizes. Can you see all the legroom we have? I feel kinda sorry for those people in the coach section, but I'm totally enjoying sitting up here with you." Duo smiled at me after glancing out the window. He insisted that he wanted to see all the tiny ant people below, but I doubted he could see anyone this high in the atmosphere.

"I am glad you're with me too. The captain said that the flight would only last two hours though. Why don't you get some sleep?" I asked him. He was probably still tired since I had woken him up so early in the morning. Duo was a nighttime person and expected him to jump at the opportunity right away, but instead I found him staring at me a bit, then a devious look crossed his features.

"That would be really nice Hee-chan. I am kinda tired. I'm not used to waking up at the crack of dawn like you are. However, I'll only go to sleep on one condition."

"And what condition is that?" I asked him narrowing my eyes at him.

"Hold me and let me use you as a pillow." He smiled innocently at me and I just pushed up the armrest that separated us and turned so he could lie against me. I wrapped my right arm around his waist and my left one around his shoulders and let him lean his back against me using my chest as his pillow like he always did. He wrapped his arms around mine and interlaced our fingers together as I heard a contented sigh escape those pouty pink lips. I kissed his hair and closed my own eyes as well, enjoying the peace that had settled over us for the time being and awaiting the end of our flight.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I felt something or someone touching my arm, shaking it lightly until I turned to face what that thing was. I opened my eyes and saw a petite woman standing next to me. I yawned as I looked at her a little confused, but I soon remembered where I was and who was still sleeping in my arms.

"I am sorry to disturb your rest sir, but we have landed and you must exit the plane now." She said with a soft melodic voice.

"Thank you, I think this early flight made us a little tired." She smiled at me.

"It's all right sir. We had a few other passengers fall asleep on us as well. It's no trouble at all. You should go and pick up your baggage now though, so it can't get lost."

"Thanks for the advice. I'll do that." She nodded her head once and left me to wake up Duo once again. I was surprised when he opened his eyes a little bit and turned to me.

"Is the flight really over Hee-chan?" He whined. I chuckled at those cute pouting lips and softly gave him a light kiss.

"Yes Duo, it's really over. Come on, let's get our suitcases and you can use me as a pillow later okay?"

"Promise?"

"I promise. Now let's get off the plane."

"Okay. Whatever you say Hee-chan."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>>>>>

We claimed our baggage and walked out of the airport and surveyed the street for a cab to take us to the hotel. I didn't see one at all. This surprised me a bit. I would have thought there would be loads of taxis picking up people for the airport, but I guessed that I was wrong.

Duo then tugged on my hand and a looked over at him. "What's the matter love?"

"That driver of the limo over there has a banner with your name on it. Maybe Quatre booked a limo for us so we could get to the hotel before our whole trip is over. Care to ask him about the sign?"

"I think that would be our best bet." Duo and I walked hand-in-hand over to the driver. He looked to be in his mid-thirties by his graying sideburns that I could make out from under the brim of his driver's hat. "Excuse me, I'm Heero Yuy. Are you supposed to be our driver…mister…?"

"Collin, may name is Collin good sirs. I recognize you from the photos Mister Winner has shown me. Mr. Quatre Winner has booked my services while you are on your vacation. I am to drive you wherever you want to go. I have a cell phone number so you can reach me anytime you feel like going out. Mister Winner also wanted me to give you this envelope as well Mister Yuy. It goes along with your prize vacation. I would advise you to open it later. Mister Winner had told me to tell you that as well." He handed me a large, insulated manila envelope. I wondered what could be in it since it seemed to be somewhat thick and a bit dense, but I could find out after we got to the hotel.

"Can you drive us to the Grand Falls Hotel? We will be staying there for the week so you can pick us up there if we need your services."

"Certainly, sir. Let me take your bags and have a seat inside." Collin took both our suitcases and put them in the trunk then opened the door for us. Duo got in first, then I followed suit.

The limousine was stocked with a cooler in one of the compartments across from us as Duo explored the interior of the vehicle. His eyes lit up and held up a bottle of champagne and two glasses. He handed one to me and kept the other while still holding onto the bottle and grinning at me.

"What do you say to a drink Heero? Its Quatre's doing and we don't want to disappoint him."

"How is not drinking the champagne provided an insult to him?" I asked and raised an eyebrow at him.

"It won't be, but I still want to celebrate being in a limo and actually having champagne to toast to it with." He pouted at me some more and I knew there was no way I would deny him what he wanted.

"All right. Open the bottle and we'll toast to our vacation." Duo grinned then kissed me.

"Thank you Hee-chan." Duo soon got the bottle open with ease. Being the owner of a club and bar, did give him an advantage after all. He poured the bubbly beverage as I held the glasses. He put the bottle back in the cooler to keep its pleasant temperature and then sat back beside me as I handed him his glass.

I raised mine a little and he did the same. "I would like to make a toast to honor you, my love and thank you for joining me on this hopefully eventful trip. May we both bask in the beauty that surrounds us."

Duo clinked his glass with mine then took a sip of it, then raised his glass. "I want to make a toast as well Heero. May we both enjoy our time together in this unimaginable luxury while it lasts. I am glad to be beside you Heero. I never want to leave you, ever."

"Neither do I my love, neither do I." We clinked our glasses and drank the rest of the champagne. Duo put our glasses away then rested his head on my shoulder while holding my hand until we arrived at the hotel.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>>>>>

We got out and Collin took our bags inside for us, and then handed them over to the baggage boy. I went over to the main desk to check us in and make sure our reservations were in order and activated as Quatre said they would be. A man with neatly combed brown hair waited on me, while Duo looked around the lobby. His face in complete awe at how big the place was, not that I blamed him, my jaw dropped when I saw how tall the building was from outside.

"Hello and welcome to the Falls Grand Hotel. I am Xavier Renard the manager of the hotel. What is your name sir?" He asked in a deep, but welcoming voice.

"I'm Heero Yuy and I have a reservation for myself and Duo Maxwell. Quatre Winner made the reservations Mister Renard."

"Ah yes, it is right here. Andros will you kindly show our guests to the Lovers' suite?" The boy who was holding our bags nodded and said a soft `follow me please,' as we left the desk. "I hope you'll enjoy your stay here Mister Yuy." I thanked the man and followed the boy who held our bags.

We took the elevator up to the twenty-first floor and Andros led us to the suite. He left the suitcases by the door as I got out one of the keycards used to open the door. As I slipped it through the slot and opened the door I was stunned to my spot until Duo pushed me inside and Andros followed with our things.

"I'll place your suitcases in the bedroom sirs." Andros then walked off to the left as I watched him move and settle our things down on the floor. "Will that be all sir or would you like me to bring up some appetizers as well? The extension for room service is seven and the menu is over there on the table. Anything you order will be billed to Mr. Winner." He announced.

I was about to tell him that he could leave, but then heard Duo pipe up.

"What do you have that's really good here?" Duo asked, rubbing his hands together briskly.

"Everything here is very pleasing, in my opinion, but you may have different tastes than me. The menu is right there. I'll wait until you decide."

"That won't be necessary. We'll just call room service so we won't bother you. Thank you for bringing up our bags." I gave him five dollars as a tip and he nodded, and then shut the door behind him. Duo was studying the menu front to back. I could tell he liked something from the way he was licking his lips and making sounds of approval.

I sat down next to him on the couch he was on and looked at what he had found. There were a number of fancy foods that I had no idea what they were, until I read the descriptions written below them. Thankfully they were well detailed so I had a vague idea of what the foods would taste like.

"What do you think looks good Duo?" I breathed into his ear causing him to shiver.

"You, but you're my dessert. I'm hungry Heero and since we didn't have breakfast, I think it's time you fed me. This blueberry Belgian waffle looks good but so does the strawberry one. I can't decide which one I want. Care to help me?" He turned and looked at me pleadingly. I kissed the tip of his nose then got up and went over to the phone and pressed seven.

"Hello room service, this is the Lover's suite. We would like to order two Belgian waffles, one with blueberries and the other with strawberries. Yes that will be great. Thank you." I hung up the phone and sat down next to Duo once more. "He said he'll have it up here in a few minutes, so we won't have to wait long. Happy?"

"Very." He leaned into me and gave me a sweet chaste kiss then pulled back smiling. "Let's go see what else we get in here!" He tugged me up and pulled me with him to the bedroom. He stopped and stared at the bed, his eyes widening in disbelief. "How big do you think that thing is? I thought your bed was huge compared to mine, but this is even bigger."

"I think it's a king sized bed. The one we have is a queen, but you had a double, right?" He nodded slowly.

"Yeah I do or did now, since I'm giving it to Good-will, but this one…wow!" I smiled at his disconcerted look.

"Let's look at the bathroom." I pulled him with me even though he still kept gaping at how big the bed was. It was the Lover's suite after all. Oh! My mind stopped right on that thought: Lover's suite. That bed was to be used for `other recreations' besides sleeping. I shook my head and stamped that thought down. Duo would tell me when and if he was ever ready to have sex and I wouldn't suggest it unless he initiated it. With my resolve firmly in place I looked at the room we were now standing in.

The bathroom was huge; at least six times the size of mine. The bathtub looked like it could hold at least six people with room to spare. A large shower stood at the other side of the room and it probably could have four people in it at once. There was also a toilet, a Jacuzzi, two massage tables equipped on the side with tons of oils, salts, soaps, and lotions and a sauna in the far corner.

"Leave it to Quatre to show us the biggest bedroom and bathroom we will ever see in our lives!" Duo exclaimed at my side. "Think I'll love using everything though while I can. I probably won't ever have the chance to again after the week is over, but I'll enjoy it as long as I can with you Hee-chan."

"I feel the same way Duo." I told him after coming out of my shock. There was a light knock on the main door to our room and Duo jumped. "The food must be here, let's go eat it hmm?" Duo's response was a tug on my hand to the door.

He opened it and let the man with the cart in while still holding onto my hand. The man nodded to us then said, "I'll set this up on the dining table." He wheeled picked up the tray that was on the cart and carried it into the room we hadn't gone in yet and set the tray down at the end of the table. Quickly taking off both covered dishes of the tray and placing them in two places at the table. He set up tall crystal glasses next to them and placed the orange juice pitcher between them then placed silver pot that I assumed to be coffee, with cup of crème and sugar and ceramic mugs on the table as well. "Shall that be all sir?" He asked turning to me.

"Yes that's all." I replied and Duo handed him a five-dollar bill and he nodded once and left, taking his cart with him. I walked over and uncovered one dish and then the other. Both waffles were covered in their chosen berries that surrounded the pastry as well and topped with a generous amount of whipped cream, with a single berry centered in the center.

"Mmm…looks delicious, but first I need coffee." Duo proclaimed and I had to roll my eyes at him. As much as I loved coffee I wanted to try the delight that was before me. I sat down and cut off a piece of the strawberry waffle and tasted it. The smooth whipped cream added to the sweet flavor of the strawberry.

I moaned my delight and Duo looked over at me from his cup of liquid brown heaven as he sometimes named it and grinned. "Looks like your enjoying it Hee-chan. Mind if I have a taste?" I cut off another piece and crooked my finger at Duo who bent down, closed his eyes and opened his mouth. I leaned toward him and kissed his lower lip then deposited the sweet treat within his mouth. He chewed it and moaned his own enjoyment of tasting it, then opened his eyes and winked at me.

"I think you made it even sweeter than it was Hee-chan."

"But you enjoyed it nonetheless." I stated.

"Oh yes. You always make everything much sweeter with your kiss, touch, and…" He trailed off and pressed a kiss to my lips. I pulled him closer and he opened his mouth as an invitation, which I accepted greedily and slipped my tongue inside his hot, moist mouth. I could taste the strawberries mix with his unique taste. It was exquisite!

"Mmm, you taste like strawberries Hee-chan."

"So do you. Let's try the blueberry one next." I suggested. Duo cut off a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it, then licked his lips slowly as if to tempt me. I growled low in my throat at his taunting, even if it did make him look very very sexy.

"Do you want to have a taste Hee-chan?" He asked, lowering his voice some. I growled as a reply. "Then I guess I'll have to share." Duo cut off another piece and brought it close to my mouth as if to feed me then put the piece in his own mouth and smiled around the piece in his mouth. I narrowed my eyes at him then grabbed the front of his shirt and pried his lips open with my tongue and retrieved the pastry from him mouth. It tasted sweet like the strawberries, but was a bit more tart and also tasted like Duo.

When I was finished chewing it, I smiled at him. "You're right Duo. It is tasty with the right flavoring to add to its sweet flavor." Duo blushed then brought a chair closer to me and brought the blueberry Belgian waffle with him. We continued to eat one or the other, occasionally feeding each other a piece of one or the other, opposite to the one we had previously eaten. By the time we finished both of them I was stuffed to the brim. Duo on the other hand wasn't quite as full yet and ordered some hash browns, scrambled eggs, and bacon to be brought up to our room.

I watched him eat them as I sipped my cup of coffee. He noticed me watching him, as he was about to take another bite of his bacon. "What?" He asked before he took a bite.

"Nothing. I'm just wondering how you can eat so much, that's all." Duo finished chewing and smirked at me.

"I have a high metabolism, so don't worry. I promise you I won't get fat. I've eaten a ton more things than at one sitting, millions of times," I quirked an eyebrow at him as he chuckled. "Just ask Q or Tro. They've seen me do it plenty of times. I won't get sick I promise."

"It's okay. I don't mind if you eat that much, but yes. I am afraid of you getting sick, but if you say you can eat this much then go right ahead." I raised my cup at him then went back to drinking my coffee.

Duo finished a few seconds later and wiped his mouth with a napkin. We covered the dishes then called room service to find out what to do with them. A man came up and took them away for us then left us to do whatever we wanted.

"What did Collin give you before? He said it was from Q. Did you open it yet?" Duo asked and I remembered the insulated manila envelope that was still sitting unopened on the coffee table in the living room section of the suite.

"I'm not sure what it is, but I'll open it now so we can see." I sat on the couch; Duo plopped down next to me, watching as I opened the envelope. I looked in then told Duo to cup his hands together. He frowned at me confused but did it anyway and I poured the green bills out that the envelope contained. As the last of the bills came out a folded up piece of paper fluttered out from the bottom. Some of the money fell to the floor but we could pick it up later.

I infolded the paper and read:

Dear Heero and Duo,

Trowa and I thought it best to give you the rest of your prize through your limo driver, Collin that I hired for the entire week. I knew that if I gave you the money that goes along with your prize, you would probably try to give it back. You need what is enclosed to go out to the restaurants and do so shopping while you enjoy your stay. I have already paid for everything that has to do with the hotel and the entrance to the falls and the nature trails you can walk on. The only thing I haven't paid for are the tips you use to pay the staff. Use the smaller bills for them and use the rest on yourselves. I want you to enjoy yourselves; my friends and we expect pictures when you get back.

With Much Love,

Trowa and Quatre

"It's so much like Q to spoil us." Duo began to sort the money into separate piles. Most of the bills were fifties and one hundred-dollar bills, but at least a quarter of it was twenties and tens that we could give to the staff like he said to.

I had never seen this much money in my life, and Quatre wanted us to spend it. I felt a little nauseous at spending his money. Duo glanced at me from his counting then quickly finished with it, leaving the bills on the table and wrapped his arms around me.

"What's a matter babe? Q's generosity too much for you?" I slowly nodded my head. Duo kissed my ear then whispered to me. "It's alright. He wants us to have fun, he considers you one of his closest friends so take pleasure in it. Q-man is always like this if he accepts someone who is in our tight bond of friends. So don't feel bad. It's all right. Q gave us half a million to play around with."

I turned and stared at Duo. He couldn't have said what I thought he did. "What did you just say?" I asked breathlessly.

"I said Q gave us half a million to play with. You okay Heero?" I shook my head.

"I think I'm gonna pass out." Duo looked alarmed and pulled me down to lie on him. He tucked my head under his chin and held on to me tightly.

"Why do you feel that way Heero? It's okay, really." He stroked my hair with his fingers trying to calm me down, which was slowly working but I still felt a little sick. "Just breathe, Heero. Just breathe for me, in and out. There you go. Good, stay with me." Duo's soothing voice coached me until I felt relaxed once again, safe in his arms. It seemed our roles were for once reversed, but it was a good feeling to have him worry and hold me like he was doing. I finally found my voice once more after his fingers slowed a little form their caresses.

"Duo what are we going to do with five hundred thousand dollars?" I asked looking up at him. He just smiled a little at me.

"Do exactly what Q said: Spend it and create some wonderful memories. We have to get a camera to take the pictures, so I suggest we do that soon and get a digital one with an extra memory card. That way we'll have tons of pictures and get a few disposable ones as well so if we get wet at the falls, the good one won't get ruined. Agreed?"

"Agreed." I felt a little better knowing the Duo would know how to spend the money. He could deal with it since I was just happy to have him beside me.

I'll fix the typos in the previous chapters as soon as I am able to read through them all. Which maybe in a little while, since I'm starting my third semester on the 24th of August. Updates may slow down, but hopefully they'll be pretty consistent. It depends on how swamped I get with my exams, art projects, and my two jobs. Whew!!! Anne-chan wasn't kidding when she told me I was insane. Like I didn't know that already. Yeesh!
