Virgin Summer: Hands Off! Mine! - part 5

"... and take him only to places for non-smokers, okay? He can´t get the smoke out of his hair. Not even the herbal shampoo I bought him seems to work," I said, following Odin around the house while he was slowly getting dressed.

"Okay."

"And don´t take him to Virgil´s Coffee either. Virgil is an idiot and a homophobe and makes Duo uncomfortable."

"Okay."

"And don´t let Duo eat strawberries. He always gets a rash because of them."

"Okay."

"And Duo likes to drink apple cinnamon tea or hot chocolate. He loves sweet rolls, too. And apple pie, but not together with the tea. And vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup."

"Okay."

"And don´t drive with the top down. The wind always makes a mess out of Duo´s hair."

"Okay."

"And don´t rush anything. Be calm and considerate."

"Okay."

I stopped while Odin knelt down on the carpeted floor and stuck his head under the bed to try and find his missing shoe. I couldn´t believe what a pig he was sometimes. "Maybe I should go with you after all. It IS Duo´s first date and maybe I should be there as moral support."

"NO!" His voice was muffled by the bed.

"Why not? I mean, I took Duo on my dates too."

Odin seemed to finally find a way out from underneath the bed. He sat back to put on the shoe he pulled out with a triumphant expression. "And I´m sure the girls didn´t mind."

I blinked at his sarcastic remark. "No, they didn´t."

"Right."

I went over the list of things I wanted to warn Odin about, trying to figure out if I didn´t forget anything important. "Oh yeah, and-"

"We will be fine, Heero." He got up from the floor and clapped me on my shoulder. With that, he turned around and headed down the stairs. He opened the door but before leaving the house, he turned back to me with a smirk. "And don´t stay up. I might be late."

I stared at the door that closed with a bang, dumbfounded. They were really going to do it. They would... Duo would... and them... I couldn´t believe it. My brother was taking my best friend, MY DUO! on a date. I mean... my brother? What did Duo see in this jerk? I had a very odd, dark feeling in my stomach about the whole thing...

Slowly, I walked over to the window and looked out. In the dim light of the street lamp, I watched Odin jump into our father´s convertible - without opening the door of course. Duo was already waiting for him there. They turned to each other and smiled. The feeling in my stomach intensified and I felt a growl start to rumble in my throat.

With a deepening frown, I watched Odin lay his arm across the back of Duo's seat. Then he moved closer... his mouth was moving, talking, I could see that... but he still leaned closer... and...! He WOULDN'T...!

THAT WAS IT!

I don´t actually remember how I got down the stairs, out of the door, down the side walk and to the car so quickly. What I do remember is how I tore open the car door, pulled the wide eyed, completely shellshocked Duo out and before he could do more than squeak in surprise, I caught his face in my hands and... KISSED him!

I was... shocked. What the heck... I mean... I´m not... gay, you know. YOU´RE KISSING YOUR BEST MALE FRIEND! my mind was screaming at me but before my body could react, I felt Duo loosen up and grow pliant in my arms. He completely melted, closed his wide eyes, slipped his arms around my neck and... my mind went on vacation. Bye bye, Mr Brain! Hello, Mr Libido!

It was good. Duo was good. And sweet. And spicy. And MINE! Not sharing. Not ever. And even though everything was good, my highly amused brother´s laughter and the honking of the convertible as he hammered on the steering wheel with his fist in hilarity were less than good. Actually, all the background noise was pretty annoying and that´s why I waved my fist in his direction without opening my eyes or separating my lips from Duo´s. And I think he must have understood the meaning of my threatening gesture, for the car pulled from the sidewalk and suddenly there was only silence.

And everything was good again, and we were standing there and kissing and groping each other and in surprise I felt the dark feeling in my stomach disappear and something warm and delightful replaced it. And then there was Duo, and he was in my arms and I decided at that very moment to never let him go or out of my sight or out of my arms...

Because, you see, he is MINE! HANDS OFF!
