Unwanted Love

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Duo Looked out of the window at the moon. It was beautiful. He's been waiting for Heero to get back from one of his mission and he's gotten completely caught up with watching the moonrise. Tonight was the night he was finally going to tell Heero that he cared for him. Now all he needed was for the spandex wearing Japanese boy to show up so that he could do so.

Around 3 am, Heero arrived back at the shared house, where all five pilots were staying. Walking into his shared room with Duo, he scanned the small perimeter, Stopping on the empty bed. Now where could that baka be at this time? Heero scanned the room once more and stopped this time at eh window where a figure was sitting.

Walking towards the still figure, Heero noticed the long braid hanging from the window seat. "Baka." Heero sighed as he picked Duo up in his arms.

Duo instinctively cuddled closer to the warmth that Heero provided, even though he wasn't cold. Heero paused in his steps as he heard Duo mutter something that resembled his name. Shaking it off as nothing, Heero carried Duo the rest of the way to the braided boys bed. After covering up the boy, Heero made his way to his own bed and fell asleep.

The next morning Duo was up bright and early. Not actually doing anything other than watching Wing's pilot. He'd stayed up till about two then fallen asleep. He'd been disappointed when he had woken up to find himself in his bed. Having taken a quick glance around the room showed that Heero must have put him in bed. The ex-pilot was now sleeping in his own bed. Duo sighed, he'd waited almost two years to tell Heero how he felt. He could wait a few more hours. He contented himself with just watching the beautiful Japanese boy.

A few hours had passed when Heero finally woke up and was greeted with a smiling Duo.

"You're awake." Duo noted to himself. Heero nodded. "I need to tell you something. Something that I've wanted to tell you for quite some time. It was just never the right moment, what with the war going on and what not." Heero nodded again. Taking a deep breath Duo confessed his feelings to Heero. "I like you, a lot for that matter. I have for almost two years." Duo waited for the rejection that never came. Looking towards Heero, Duo noted that the boy was shaking. Probably with rage, he thought to himself. "I get it. I'll leave and you wont ever have to see me again. I'll even ask Une to reassign me to another HQ." Duo got up and walked towards the door of the bedroom.

Heero listened to Duo babble on about nothing at all and waited patiently. Whatever the boy had to say it was important. He likes me? Heero suddenly began to shake, he was so happy. As Duo started walking away, Heero stopped and looked up. What was this about being reassigned? Heero got up and grabbed Duo's arm before he could leave. Pulling him back into the room and shutting the door behind him.

"What are you doing Heero?" Duo sighed, looking at everything but Heero.

"Duo," Heero started, taking a hold of the braided boys face. "Suki desu. Suki desu Duo. I like you to."

Duo blinked a few times, trying to process what had just been said to him. "You do?" At Heero's nod, Duo smiled.

Heero smiled back and gathered the boy in his arms. After so long he could finally be with the braided boy. "You must be tired. It's only six am." Heero pointed out.

"No I'm," Duo yawned. "Not. Ok maybe I am."

"That's what I thought. Come on." Heero released Duo from his hug and grabbed his hand.

"But my bed is over there Heero."

Heero turned to him and smiled slightly. "Sleep with me Duo, not like that, just lay beside me. Please."

Duo nodded and followed Heero to the Japanese ex-pilot's bed. Getting in beside him, Duo automatically curled towards Heero. They fell asleep with Duo against Heero's side, using him as a pillow, and Heero with his arms wrapped around Duo. A few hours later, Quatre came in to see what was taking them so long. It was normal for Duo to sleep in but not Heero.

He was greeted with the sight of the two boys in each other's arms and he saw red. Slamming the door closed, Quatre stormed down the hall.

Duo sat up and looked around. "Heero? What was that?"

"The door slamming." Heero provided.

"Funny."

"I know. Don't worry about it. It was only Quatre." Heero wrapped his arms around Duo's waist.

"Why was Quatre in our room, slamming our door?" Duo asked as he let himself be pulled down.

"I don't know. Just forget it. I'm still tired."

"Heero Yuy, since when do you sleep in?"

"Since I've had a reason to stay in bed."

Duo blushed. "Oh."

~~~~~~~~~~~

Quatre stormed into the kitchen, past Trowa and Wufei, and out the side door. Ignoring the looks of puzzlement on the two seated at the kitchen table.

"That stupid baka Maxwell. How dare he! Heero was mine! I can't believe he would do that! I should be the one in Heero's arms, in Heero's bed right now. Not Duo Maxwell!" Quatre kicked a rock that went soaring thirty feet.

"Well two can play at this. You'll see Duo, Heero will be mine in the end." Quatre walked towards his BMW. Turning the ignition, Quatre shifted into gear and speeded out of the driveway.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey guys? What are you two up to?" Duo asked as he bounded into the living room, Heero behind him, looking to be in good humour.

Trowa and Wufei looked from the two that had just entered the room to each other and shrugged their shoulders.

"You mean other than the fact that Quatre came storming thru the kitchen and out of the house just after he went to check on you two?" Wufei asked.

"Quatre's gone? Hm, wonder where he went." Duo mumbled.

"Hn, don't worry he probably went into town to get something. He'll be back later." Heero replied as he moved behind Duo, putting his arms around his braided fool, shocking Trowa and Wufei in the process.

"Ok, if you say so." Duo leaned into the embrace. "Um…is there any food left over from breakfast?"

Trowa regained from the shock first and nodded. "Yes on the stove."

"Great, come on Heero, let's go eat. I'm starving." Heero nodded as Duo pulled him towards the kitchen.

For the third time that day Trowa and Wufei glanced at each other. "Fei, are you as confused as I am?"

"Yes Tro, yes I am."

"Ok, lets go for a walk before anything else happens."

~~~~~~~~~~~

Heero how long?" Duo asked as he reheated the food.

"How long?"

"Yeah. How long since you've known that you liked me?"

"I don't know. For a while I suppose. But I'm not to sure about it. What about you?"

"Almost two years." Duo answered readily.

"Two years?! Why didn't you say something sooner? Duo, I would have listened. I always did."

"I don't know. I guess I was afraid of what you might do…" Duo shrugged. "To tell you the truth Heero, which I always do, I liked you so much, but I was so afraid of you at the same time."

"Why? Why were you afraid of me?" Heero asked as he got up from his seat to hug Duo from behind.

"I don't know. I guess it was the vibes, if you may, that you put off." Duo turned to face Heero. "It took so much convincing on my own last night to finally come to the decision to tell you and when you didn't some home it discouraged me so much. It took those few hours before you woke up this morning to convince myself to tell you again."

"I'm glad you did." Giving Duo a kiss, Heero pulled him into a tight embrace. "Now, lets eat, you are not the only one that is hungry."

"Right, almost forgot about that."

"Almost huh? So I almost got you to forget about your stomach by talking nice to you?"

"Yep, almost though."

"Hn," was Heero's reply as they sat down side by side and began to eat.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Quatre drove home, grinning wildly. He would win Heero from Duo, no matter what it took. And this beautiful machine would start it all off. Parking the car in the front of the house, Quatre for out and walked in the front door. Hearing voices from the kitchen, Quatre followed them and entered. The sight Heero and Duo sitting beside each other eating and holding hands greeted him. Scowling, Quatre cleared his throat.

"Hi guys."

"Quatre, you're back!" Duo cheered. Heero nodded.

"Yes, I'm back. Heero will you come with me. I want to show you something outside." Quatre asked, he grinned as Heero nodded, then scowled once more as he grabbed Duo's other hand and pulled him out of his chair.

Quatre led the way out side to where he'd left his present for Heero. The dealer that he'd bought it from would have his BMW brought to the house later on. Quatre walked up to the forest green mustang convertible and grinned as he saw the two's expressions. "This is for you Heero. For all the hard work you've done in the past few years. During the two wars and after."

"Oh wow, that is one sweet car." Duo commented as he walked around it.

Quatre glared at Duo as the braided boy inspected the vehicle. Putting on a smile, he turned to face Heero. "Do you like it?"

"Yes, it's nice." Heero managed a small smile as he glanced at Duo.

"How about you take it for a ride Heero, test it out, see you like the feel of it." Quatre offered as he placed the keys in Heero's hand, letting his own linger there for a moment.

Duo looked back at the two as Quatre offered Heero to take the car for a spin and saw the gesture that Quatre did. Narrowing his eyes he began to walk towards the two.

Heero looked over Quatre's should and noticed Duo's look. Looking down, he noticed Quatre's hand still in his. "Yes I think I will take if for a ride. Duo do you want to come with me?"

Duo stopped mid stride at the offer. His scowl changing into a smile right away. "Sure!"

Heero pulled his hand out of Quatre's and walked towards Duo. Putting his arm around the boy's waist, the two walked towards the mustang. Duo hopped into the passenger seat over the front door and waited for Heero to get in as well. "See you later Quatre." Duo waved as Heero started the motor and drove away.

Quatre growled under his breath. Dammit, I almost had him alone. If only that moron hadn't been around. God Duo pissed him off sometimes. Well he'd just get Heero something else.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Duo what's wrong?" Heero asked the boy beside him.

"Huh? Nothing is wrong Heero." Duo looked back out the side of the car.

"Duo do not lie. I may have just revealed my feelings for you but it doesn't mean I don't know you well enough to know that something is wrong. Now what is wrong with you?" Heero asked again.

"I'm not lying. There is nothing wrong with me. Now if you'd asked me what was bothering me then I would have answered you." Duo corrected him as he looked at Heero again.

"Alright fair enough, what's bothering you Duo?"

"Quatre." Duo said simply.

"Quatre? What does he have anything -"

"Quatre is the one bothering me." Duo continued, cutting Heero off.

"Why?" Heero was confused.

"He just is, this morning when he stormed down the hall from our room. It was just not like Quatre. And did you seriously believe all that stuff he said about the car? Oh and lets not forget about his wandering fucking HANDS!" duo vented as he began to shake.

Heero pulled over the car and looked at Duo, concerned. "Duo," he began, "don't worry about him. What ever you're thinking, get it out of your head. I'm not leaving you…especially not for Quatre." He pulled Duo over to him and hugged the trembling boy.

"I know but it's just so infuriating." Duo hugged Heero back.

"I know…it's ok, it's gonna be ok." Heero soothed the boy.

"Ok, I'm fine now." Duo declared as he gave Heero on last squeeze and a quick kiss on the cheek. "Let's go into town, I feel like shopping for some odd reason."

As Duo grinned, Heero uncharacteristically rolled his eyes. "Baka."

"Yes, but I'm your baka."

"Yes and I'm your senshi." Heero replied as he pulled back onto the road, smiling.

Duo burst out laughing at Heero's reply. "You're kawaii sometimes Heero, truly you are."

Heero smirked and continued to drive.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Quatre sat down in front of his computer and logged on. Checking his mail and finding nothing new nor of interest, he opened another window and went to one of the online shopping sites. After a half-hour of searching, Quatre couldn't find anything. He was struck with an idea, if he got rid of the problem he could get the prize.

Quatre went back into his e-mail window and started to compose a letter to Hilde. He knew that Hilde still had feelings for Duo and would be willing to do anything to get him. His plan was to make it look like Hilde was in trouble some way, Duo would leave and he would get Heero.

Finishing the letter, Quatre sent it to Hilde and waited for her reply. It came not even five minutes later. Hilde was all for the plan, but she wanted to know what they would tell Duo. Quatre sent her another message that he would meat her up on L2 and they would plan that there. Sending the message, Quatre logged off and went in search for something to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Heero and Duo arrived at the mall and got out of the vehicle. "Wow, that's a big mall." Duo commented as he closed the car door.

"Hn, yes it is." Heero replied as he walked over to Duo and took his hand. "Come on."

Duo looked down at their grasped hands and smiled. "Are you sure you're ok with this?" squeezing Heero's hand to indicate what he meant.

"Yes. Let's go." Heero began to walk. Tugging on Duo's hand, wanting him to follow.

Duo smiled brightly, "alright, I can live with that." He bounded to Heero's side and matched his pace.

"Once they arrived inside that large building, Heero turned to Duo. "Where do you want to go first?"

"The book store." Duo replied as he looked around at all the stores.

Heero arched a brow at his koi in puzzlement. "The book store?" he asked curiously.

"Yep, I finished reading all of the books that I have at home, along with most of the books in Quatre's library. I need some more reading material." Duo shrugged as he pulled Heero in the direction of the bookstore.

"I had no idea you read anything other than manga's." Heero confessed.

"That would be because that's all I ever let you guys see me read. I do have an image to keep up after all." Duo grinned at Heero.

"Aa, just so you know you don't have to keep up the image with me. I'll love you no matter what." Heero informed the braided boy as he let go of his hand to wrap his arms around Duo's waist.

"Ok." Duo nodded his head as he began to look at the book, holding Heero's arms all the while.

"What are you looking for?" Heero asked as he scanned the shelves.

"Anything that looks interesting." Duo replied as he read off the titles to himself.

Heero nodded. "How about this one?" Heero asked as he picked up a book and handed it to Duo.

"Ember of the Sun? Looks interesting. Hm, it's on sale too. Sugeoi!" Duo grabbed Heero's hand again and went to the cash.

As Duo started to pull out his wallet, Heero put his hand over Duo and shook his head, "Let me pay."

"If you insist." Duo shrugged and put the wallet back into his back pocket.

"I do." Heero gave Duo a quick kiss on the cheek, making the braided boy blush.

"Thank you koi." Duo replied genuinely.

"My pleasure. I love doing stuff for you." Heero paid for the book and the two made their way out of the store. The rest of the afternoon was spent going from store to store, buying random objects.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After Quatre had gotten off the computer, he went to his music room and started playing his piano. A few hours later, Heero and Duo walked into the house, arms full of shopping bags. Quatre got up from his perch in front of the piano and walked towards the front door. "Hey Q, what's up?" Duo asked as he placed his bags on the floor.

"Nothing." Quatre replied dismissivly as he turned towards Heero. "How does the car run?"

"Fine, right Duo?" Heero answered.

"Oh yeah, absolutely perfect." Duo commented over his shoulder as he rummaged through the bags on the floor.

"That's great" Quatre beamed to Heero.

"Yes it is, well how about we go put all of this stuff away Duo? It would be no good to leave everything lying around on the floor for someone to trip over it and brake something. Wouldn't you agree?" Heero asked as he reverted his attention to the braided boy who was still sorting through the bags.

"Hm, yeah sure…lead the way." Duo replied as he straitened himself up and grabbed the bags in his hands. "See ya later Q."

Heero nodded to the Quatre as he started to walk down the hall towards the stairs.

"Yeah, later." Quatre replied as he went to his music room once again to cool off.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Quatre told the others that he had to go to L2 on a solo mission. With out giving any details, he left in the early afternoon on a shuttle.

Hilde was waiting for him as he got off the shuttle and the two walked out together towards Hilde's apartment.

"So Quatre what's your plan. And this better work." Hilde asked as she unlocked the door.

"Oh trust me, it will and it's quite smile as well." Quatre replied as he followed her into the house.

"Alright, well have a seat. Do you want anything to drink or eat? I've got coffee, some juice, and soft drinks. No tea though. I don't' drink the stuff."

"Juice is fine, thank you." Quatre answered sitting down on the couch as Hilde went into the kitchen. While waiting, Quatre looked around; the room was well furnished. There were three sitting areas, the sofa that he was seated on, a love seat and an armchair. The sofa was along the north wall the love seat was along the East Side of the sofa and the armchair was on the West Side of the sofa. In front of the sofa there was a coffee table and behind that there was a television set. The front door faced the back of the television. Beside the front door there's a bay window that fills up most of the room. Quatre nodded in approval, the room was very comfy. The kitchen led off to the left from the front door.

Hilde walked out of the kitchen with two glances of fruit punch and handed him one. "Here you go. So what it your plan. You gave so little detail in your e-mail yesterday."

"It's simple. We are going to make it look like you're in trouble. I'm supposed to be on a mission right now so we can make it look like you got caught in the crossfire and got hurt. When the others find out, Duo will be devastated, after all you are his best friend. While Duo is with you, I will be with Heero. I'm going to be putting in little hints about you and Duo 'being' together. Which will make Heero jealous. The two will get into an argument and Duo will turn to you for comfort and Heero will turn to me. If all goes well, we should both get what we want." Quatre finished.

"Ok, most of that makes sense, but how is it going to work if I'm no hurt?"
