“He looks like he belongs out there once again.”

 

“You mean he doesn't look like he's going to bolt like a scared little rabbit.”

 

“Well, if you saw him dancing a few months ago you wouldn't believe it was him out there now. Just look at him! He's completely changed.”

 

“I think it's good to see him dancing again. He needed to let loose once more and he's certainly working the crowd tonight.”

 

“Yeah Duo!!! Work it! Show everybody how you can dance! Wooo whoooooooooo!”

 

I heard these comments all night as I helped Duo work the crowd. He was finally dancing with his heart and everybody knew he was back to the Duo they all knew. I was pleased to see him approaching new people once again. He avoided anyone who looked dangerous or out weighed him, but still... It was a vast improvement over what he had been doing.

 

There were times when I would look across the dance floor and see the need to escape in his eyes. Every once in a while it would come back, but each time it did I would go out onto the floor and stay at his side until the fear subsided and he was himself once again. It took a few months of me going out to dance with him, of being at his side whenever he needed me there, and to just let him know that I wasn't going to leave him. He still worried that he wasn't good for me any more. That he was used up goods that no one wanted and I had to make sure to get those thoughts out of his mind before they could eat at him.

 

Duo needed to feel like he was in control once again and even though it sometimes pained me to send him out on the dance floor when he was being insecure, I just smiled at him and that was all it would take to make him light the floor on fire and dance until he could barely catch his breath.

 

“I think you want to join him out there, Mr. Yuy.” I heard a voice call out to me.

 

“Why do you say that Hilde?” I turned my head to the well known voice calling out to me. She was the bar server that I had met all those months ago. She smirked and something flashed in her eyes.

 

“Because after seeing you in here with Duo and all of us for nearly a whole year I think I can read your glare by now. And it's saying that anyone who messes with Duo is dead meat. So why don't you go out there and join him before you scare all the customers away, hm?”

 

I blinked at her startled. Had it really been a full year since I met Duo? Since I had met all of them and came to this club? I glanced sideways and caught sight of Trowa and motioned for him to come over. He gave me an odd look, but came over to me any way.

 

“What's wrong?”

 

“What day is it today?” He gave me an odd look but told me any way and I nodded thinking back to when I first came to Silver Scythe. It really had been a whole year.

 

“Heero? Are you sure you're all right? You look like you're trying to recall something.”

 

“I am. It's Duo's and my anniversary today.” He looked stunned, but then smiled warmly.

 

“Then you better go make him happy while it's still the special date. Go dance with him. It looks like he's searching for you any way.” I looked at him and noticed his eyes weren't on me, but on the crowd. I could barely see Duo within the mass of rolling hips and waving arms, but I knew he was out there and with a quick nod to Trowa, I went out to meet Duo.

 

He was a bit hard to get to, but that wouldn't stop me from reaching him. A girl was slightly wrapped around him as she was learning a few dance moves and I couldn't help but watch as Duo gently made her relax and helped her sway to the beat. She possessed a grace as much as Duo had as they danced, but Duo kept my eye more than she could. It was stunning to watch them dance, even though in the next minute the music change and she let go of him thanking him for the dance. I saw him nod at her then look around for the next person he could teach, but I stilled him from his search as I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him to my chest.

 

He froze for a second, before he realized that it was me and relaxed as suddenly as he had tensed.

 

“You startled me.” I kissed his neck as he pushed back against me.

 

“I'm sorry. But I had to come get you before the night was over. Happy anniversary, love.” He turned his head to look at me surprised.

 

“Happy... What do you mean?” He asked, frowning in confused.

 

“Just that. I met you a year ago today, dancing in this club like you were possessed by a graceful deity, until you took pity on me and taught me how to dance almost as well as you and won that trip we went on. It's been a whole year and yet you're still in my arms, still living with me in our home, and will forever always be in my heart. You're my heart Duo, so let me remind you of the first time we met and let me dance with you.”

 

There were tears in his eyes as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me with every bit of love he felt for me. I hurried to kiss him back with as much fervor as I could muster, feeling a happy bubble in my chest burst at the sight of his tears, the strength in his arms, and the frantic beating of his heart. He let the tears run free down his cheeks as he continued to kiss every bit of my face he could before slightly loosening his arms so he could see my face and dance with me.

 

We danced and danced until Duo needed to take a break, and feeling the need to stick with tradition I asked if he wanted to go get a cup of coffee instead of sitting behind the bar.

 

“It wouldn't be fair to Quatre and Trowa, but I would love to later.” Duo said smiling.

 

“All right.” I said and kissed him deeply before we got up behind the bar once again. We were met by three pairs of eyes staring at us.

 

“Just what do you guys think you're doing?” Hilde demanded to know. I blinked at her and Duo seemed at a loss of words when she continued. “It's your anniversary, so what are you still doing here? Go home and celebrate already! We can handle everything ourselves, right guys?” Trowa and Quatre nodded. “See, they agree with me. So get your butts goin'. That's an order.”

“Yes ma'am!” Duo saluted her and grabbed my hand and yanked me to the back room to get our things. “It's better to just listen to her when she gets like that. She means well, but she's a real spit fire.” I nodded as I grabbed my keys and we headed out to my car hand and hand. “So about that coffee?”

 

“Do you still want to get it?” I asked grinning as I opened the doors and started the car.

 

“How about we get it to go?” He smirked at me.

 

“Whatever you want love. It's our anniversary after all.”

Duo went in to get our coffee and also got a few pieces of pie that Carol gave him as a present for us to share. He was all smiles and cheer as we drank our nightly coffee and hurried home. When we went up to our apartment, as soon as the empty coffee cups and pie box were out of his hands he tackled me to the floor and kissed me senseless. It was a tiny struggle to get the door shut and locked as well as trying to get each other out of our clothes. Duo managed to tug most of mine off with little difficulty, but I was have a harder time with his tight jeans and soft leather shirt. I really didn't mind though as he bent to kiss me and swirled his tongue along mine. My breathing was getting heavier and Duo lay flush against me as I wrapped him in my arms. I could feel his hands curving down my body and beginning to travel inward and underneath my boxers. His playful fingers lighting a fire inside me that wanted me to return the favor and I rolled us so he was underneath me and I could take control of our passion.

 

Duo rolled his hips against mine and I could feel his excitement against my thigh. His fingers never still as he danced them across my skin as I kissed him and made gentle love bites along his neck before bending to tease his sensitive pert nipples and suck one into my mouth and let my nibble fingers play with the other. He was breathless and could barely utter a word except the strangled moan and cry that managed to escape his throat as I began to make love to him.

 

Duo wrapped his legs around me as I shifted him in my arms to carry him to the bedroom. I didn't want to give him rug burn nor did I want to take him on the floor like some kind of animal, no matter how much in a hurry we were. I wouldn't hurt him. I didn't want, nor need to hurt him in order to attain my pleasure. I wanted to share it with him and only him.

 

Gently, I stripped the both of us of the remnants of our clothes. Duo rolled over to reach the bedside table and rummaged in the drawer until he found what he was looking for. I smiled at him as I saw what was in his hands and took it as he handed it to me. Our passion slowed down then, we didn't need to hurry or make haste. We both wanted the moment to be treasured and I stretched the foreplay out as long as I could. The caresses were longer and slower, there was no need to rush what would happen eventually. I prepared Duo with tender strokes and gently stretched him and caressed that spot deep inside of him that made his breath catch and his arms reach out to me. Languid kisses were shared as we slowly came together and then just stayed still enjoying the sensations running through our bodies until the need to move made our hearts beat as one as we gave and took and enjoyed each other until we were out of breath and only the need to be wrapped in each others' arms remained.

 

When we both came down from our pleasureful heights, Duo snuggled deeper into my arms and fell into a blissful sleep with me only seconds behind him.

 

Waking up was a very hard thing to do the next morning. Parts of my body were still sticky, others were sore, but the call of the aroma of coffee called to me and made me get up any how. It was then that I noticed that Duo was no longer in bed. He hadn't just rolled over onto the other side either. So when I got up and slipped into my robe, I went to check the kitchen first to see if Duo was making breakfast.

 

I saw a quick swing of his braid as he walked over to the toaster and put in two slices of bread then go back to the stove and tended to whatever he had been cooking. I watched him a few more minutes before going over to him and turning him around to give him a good morning kiss.

 

“Mm, morning lover.” He murmured against my lips and nuzzled me for a moment before turning back to the eggs that I watched him cook in the pan.

 

“Good morning, love.” I kissed his neck as I watched him stir the pan's contents. “How much longer is that going to take?”

 

“Not long. Want to eat with me before you take your shower?”

 

“Of course. You want to shower with me later?” I asked as I let him go and got out plates and silverware.

 

“Mmhm,” he murmured as he scrambled the eggs once more then turned to set them on the plates I had put out.

 

We ate in silence, but that didn't mean we didn't want to talk to each other. We were just comfortable within each others presence and there didn't need to be any words between us.

 

When we were finished I did the dishes as Duo got the shower ready and as we stripped each other of our robes and enjoyed the warm water gliding over our bodies. We helped wash each other's hair and bodies with soft caresses, taking our time and just basking in each other's touch.

 

“So what are you doing today?” Duo asked as he helped me rinse out my hair. “Do you have to go into the office today?”

 

“It's the weekend, Duo.” He stilled for a moment realizing what day it was then started finger-combing my hair once again.

 

“Oh. I forgot. So you're staying home with me?”

 

“Of course. Why wouldn't I? I can think of a few things I want to do though.” I said as I turned around to look at him and stroked my fingers through his wet locks.

 

“And what kinds of things are you planning?” He smirked as he started to stroke his fingers along my face and jawline.

 

“Maybe go out to dinner, and then going to see a movie. We could even go to that paint ball shooting range that just opened up if you want to try something new?”

 

“Paint ball? What the hell is that?” He asked me with a grin.

 

“From what Wufei and Zechs have told me, it's a good way to let off tension and also a fun way to get even with your lover when they're fighting. Wufei and Zechs got into this big argument and went down to the range and shot at each other until they were sore and covered with paint.” (1)

 

“Sounds kind of barbaric. Almost like they're trying to kill each other.”

 

“The paint balls hurt when they hit you, but it's better than shooting at each other with an actual gun.”

 

“So they do that when they're mad at each other?”

 

“Sometimes. But they also told me the place could put you on teams against another team and one team needs to capture the other team's flag so they win. That kind of game is all about protecting your teammates and defending them against the other team. They just recommended it to me since they had a lot of fun the other week.”

 

“They haven't come to the apartment in a while either.” Duo said as we stepped out of the shower and started to dry off.

 

“They've been busy. But I'm sure we could always have another dinner party here and we could invite them and Quatre and Trowa as well. Whenever you want them to come over just invite them.”

 

“I know. I will when we get back from the movies and dinner that you're taking me to tonight.” For a moment, I just shook me head in amusement at how fast Duo could change the subject, but then again, he had actually agreed to want to go out for the night.

 

“How about we catch a matinée go to dinner then try that paint ball range?” I smirked and then laughed at the look Duo glanced at me with. “What?”

 

“I think you're just determined to try that place out no matter what.”

 

“Can you blame me for trying?” He smirked.

 

“No, but I have to wonder if they're going to see us as regular customers when we have an argument and need to go there to settle it because the only argument we'll be having is about being at that place to settle the argument in the first place.”

 

I laughed at his theory, but knew he was probably right. “So do I have to help dress you or are we going to argue about wearing clothes before we leave the apartment?”

 

“I was thinking about wearing you before we put on any clothes.”

 

“Oh really?” He nodded and waggled a finger at me before dashing into the bedroom. “There'll be no argument about that!” I called and ran off after him.

 

xoxoxox

 

Let's just say that we didn't feel the need to leave the bedroom for quite a while until it was late afternoon and we scrambled to get some clothes on and made it to the movies just in time before the one we picked out started.

 

Dinner was excellent and I let Duo pick out where he wanted to eat and he even picked what food he thought I would like off the menu. We ate from each others' fingers and sipped our waters as we enjoyed our meal. When we were finished Duo even suggested that we could try out the paint ball range, but if any of the paint got in his braid, I had better help him with it. I promised and even though I didn't aim for his head, when the paint balls exploded they went everywhere.

 

By the time we came home we were sore, covered in paint, but happy all the same. I helped Duo get the paint out of his hair and he helped me get paint off my back that I just wasn't able to reach, let alone see where it was. Duo had put the pie Carol gave us in a dish and heated it up in the oven before leading me over to the couch so we could cuddle in each others' arms.

 

“I had a really good time today.” Duo whispered between the bites of pie he ate.

 

“So did I.” I said as I kissed his temple and stole a bite of pie from his fork. He smirked at me and turned so he could feed me and use me as his pillow at the same time. We ended up feeding each other until it was finished and Duo settled back down further against my chest. I wrapped my arms around him a bit tighter than I had before and kissed his hair. Duo was content to stroke my arms with his fingers and relaxed his head against my shoulder.

 

“You know this is forever, don't you?” Duo stilled in my arms for a moment before he continued to stroke my arm.

 

“I know. I want it to be forever. But it's a long time, Heero and as much as I want you to stay with me, I think you need to tell me right away if you ever feel differently.”

 

“I won't.” I tried to reassure him.

 

“I said 'if' Heero. I'm not saying you will. I'm just asking that if you ever do tell me so we can work it out. Just don't leave me.” I kissed his temple and nuzzled my nose in his hair, letting his words sink in.

 

“I promise Duo, but it goes both ways. Tell me what you're feeling always. Don't bottle it up away from me thinking that if you tell me that I'm going to push you away because I won't. I want to know how you feel always so we can work it out and get through it, okay?”

 

“Okay. I love you, Heero.” He whispered and turned his head to see me.

 

“And I love you, too.” I whispered against his lips before giving him a deep, warm kiss. When we broke apart and smiled at one another, I helped him turn so he still could lay against me, but see me better without hurting his neck.

 

“I've been thinking.” I started to stay, but stopped to think if it was a good idea or not. Duo frowned slightly.

 

“About what?”

 

“Would you consider getting rings with me?” Duo looked at me puzzled, before what I was asking dawned on him, but I continued on. “They don't have to be rings. We could get two necklaces instead...”

 

“Rings are fine. Are you...? Are you asking me what I think you're asking me?” Duo inquired in a voice barely above a whisper.

 

“If you are thinking that I'm asking you to be my life partner, then yes. I am. I want to go pick out matching rings with you so everyone will know you're mine and that we hold each other's heart. We don't need to do it right away if you're not sure...mph!”

 

All I saw was Duo's purple eyes close as he kissed me hard and it felt like there wasn't any way for air to get to my lungs because he stole it all when he hugged me tight.

 

“Yes! Yes, of course I want to be with you! I want to pick out rings with you and be life partners, so don't you dare take it back!” He yelled and kissed me again.

 

I kissed him back and we went over what we both liked and hated. We discussed if we wanted a ceremony and who would be invited. We discussed where we would have the reception and both of us agreed we wanted it to be at Silver Scythe. We had a lot to think about. A lot of plans and invites to go over and anything else we could think of.

 

But through it all I knew one thing.

 

Duo wanted to remain at my side forever and that above all else is what I planned to remain the most important aspect of my life.

 

My goal to keep Duo always happy and us to be together forever.

 

Nothing was more important than that. Nothing.

TBC... One more to go!

 

(1) Paint ball is a sport where I live and it's a lot of fun to do except if you're on the receiving end of the shot paint ball. They sting.
