Notes: Well, I've been helping out with the 6x2ml archive when I realized I only have something like one story there. So rather than finish one of my uncompleted stories I cranked this one out. It doesn't fit in any of my timelines.

Ever Wonder by babaca

 

Duo snuggled closer to the warm form lying next to him. He buried his nose into the long flowing blond hair seeking scent that was uniquely his lover. Zechs shifted in his sleep to face Duo.

"What are you doing?" Zechs mumbled not quite awake yet.

Duo smiled. Even when the man was nearly incoherent he still managed to sound sexy. "I was just thinking. I didn't mean to wake you up, go back to sleep."

Zechs opened one eye. "Well it couldn't have been your usual thinking if you want me to go back to sleep."

Duo chuckled. "True, it was thinking of a different sort."

Zechs sat up, "Well, you've gotten my attention. What were you thinking about?" Then he hesitated. "Unless it's very personal and you don't want to talk about it."

Duo also sat up propping himself against the headboard of the bed. "I don't mind you hearing my thoughts." He sighed. "I was just thinking what would we be like if we had met during the war?"

Zechs looked puzzled. "What made you think of that now?"

Duo shrugged. "I don't know exactly. I'm glad I know you. I love the fact that we are together now, but would we have been together then?"

Zechs pulled his lover over closer to him. "I don't know. It seems we were on opposite sides at the time. We did sort of meet in battle in space if you remember."

"You were just a guy in a mobile suit at the time. Mind you Epyon was quite the mobile suit, but most of your battles were with Heero though," Duo reminded him. "Just what was up between you and Heero, if seems like you two were always going at it. You had a thing for him right?" Duo smiled. He had teased Zechs about this many times.

"The thing between Heero and I was simple. Every battle with Heero was like a battle with myself. He was me. At least the me that would have been if I had followed a different path in my life," Zechs explained.

Duo was surprised by Zechs answer. In the past that question would be laughed off my Zechs. "Okay so let's say you would have met me first, what do you think would be different?"

Zechs smiled. "I don't know. You are the stellar opposite of Heero. So full of life..." Zechs began.

Duo laughed, "Ah, you mean crazy."

Zech laughed also before kissing his love's forehead. "Not crazy, lively," Zechs corrected. "You all had such dedication. I thought you were wrong of course. That was until later, when I got to witness Sanc's fall again."

Duo looked over at his lover closely. He knew that time was a touchy subject to Zechs. But what he saw was regret, an understandable emotion. Duo knew there were many things that he regret from that time as well. He hugged Zechs tightly and murmured, "I'm sorry."

"It wasn't your fault," Zechs murmured back, accepting the hug and returning it just as fiercely. "I admired all of you. You all had drive and dedication and purity that I was seriously lacking."

"Purity?" Duo asked.

"Of purpose. You knew what was right and wrong and followed your instincts. You weren't lead as I had to be. Once I left OZ, that was when I was able to think on my own. To follow my own instincts. Maybe if I had met you then, some mistakes could have been averted."

"I don't know about that. We were a pretty impulsive lot," Duo laughed.

Zechs kissed Duo, "Well I guess it's just lucky that we met later."

Duo snorted. "Luck had nothing to do with it, love."

"No?"

"During the Eve Wars, when you and Noin came to help, I was hooked then. Why do you think I stayed with the Preventers? You were my next mission. Heero gave me endless grief about that. He was surprised you hadn't noticed me chasing you. Everyone else did."

Zechs laughed. "Really? Everyone knew? Even Noin?"

"Who do you think helped me land you?" Duo said indignant.

"Land me?" Zechs repeated. "You make me sound like a fish."

"You certainly were quite the catch," Duo said. "Sorry you set that up for a bad pun." He pushed back long blonde hair that was almost as long as his, to kiss the long neck, aiming for the very sensitive part that would elicit a moan from his tall lover.

"You're forgiven," Zechs moaned as his hands roamed down Duo's body looking to make him feel as good as he was feeling at the moment. Hearing Duo moan softly to his touch spurred him on.

The alarm clock rang in its cold, unforgiving manner. The two men were so involved in each other that it went unheard for a minute. Zechs looked up from between Duo's legs. "Do you mind turning that off? It's throwing me off a little.

"Huh?" Duo asked distracted, before noticing the alarm. "Oh yeah," he said, before turning the alarm off. Breathless, he still managed to laugh. "Rise and shine time, ne?"

"Keep it up with the bad puns, and I'll stop," Zechs threatened only half-heartedly. Realistically he knew they really didn't have time for this now. They had a busy day ahead of them, but there was no way he was going to stop.

Duo sighed, then squirmed until he was positioned in front of Zechs. "Since we under the gun, why don't I help save us some time?"

Zechs moaned when he felt Duo's talented mouth work his magic on him. "I do love a resourceful man." Then he returned the favor. "I guess it will be okay to be a little late," he moaned before returning the task at hand.
