Quatre looked over to his doorway, and his heart almost stopped.

Heero was leaning against the doorframe clapping. Now he got up and walked towards Quatre, still clapping. He was less than a meter away when he ceased his round of applause and spoke.

"That was beautiful," He said. Quatre thought he was going to faint. He was receiving praise from Heero himself!

He continued. "It was very moving...inspiring, even. You have quite a gift for the violin.

"Thank you." Quatre said, dazed. He couldn't believe this was happening. His mind was whirling when he noticed that Heero was actually moving closer.

"Don't be afraid." Heero said, rather gently. He leaned forward, and his lips pressed against Quatre's, hesitant, unsure. Quatre's eyes widened, but then he closed them as he also put pressure on Heero's lips. He felt Heero's hands slowly move onto Quatre's shoulders, and Quatre slid his hands onto Heero's sides.

At this point Quatre could swear that they were floating on the clouds. He had never felt happier in his whole life. Then things got better.

They were still kissing and reveling in their newfound sexuality when Quatre felt warm and wet against his lips. He opened them a little to allow Heero to get a taste of Quatre. Quatre's tounge bumped against Heero's, and they started a slow dance with each other.

This is too good to be real, Quatre thought. Just then Heero withdrew his tounge from Quatre's mouth and pulled away. Quatre found himself once again being regarded with eyes as deep and dark as an ocean in twilight. Then Heero did something that Quatre had only seen once before: He smiled. Quatre couldn't help but smile back.

Heero reached up and stroked Quatre's fine, blond hair, then he turned and went, quite hastily, Quatre noticed, to the door. Heero bumped shoulders with Duo on the way out.

"Hey!" Duo exclaimed. "Use a turn signal next time!" He strode into Quatre's room, his long braid trailing out behind him. "He seemed to be in a hurry," He commented. "I guess he was afraid someone would steal his Gundam while he was gone."

Quatre had to chuckle at that, even though he knew the real reason as to why Heero left so suddenly. "So, how are things, Duo?" He asked.

Duo clasped his hands behind his head, as he did often. "Pretty good. The Deathscythe is still being repaired. And by the way, Noin says that there are mobile dolls headed our way, should arrive by tomorrow, and she wants you and Heero to stop them."

"No problem." Quatre said. Duo turned to leave, but stopped abruptly. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot." He dug around in his pockets, then withdrew a small, pink ball. Duo tossed it to Quatre and said, "No reason, just thought you'd like some." And he left.

Apon inspection Quatre saw that it was a bubblegum ball. He smiled, then put it in his mouth and began to chew. Chapter 3|Chapter list|Back to Base
