Duo Maxwell
sat in the window of his latest safehouse, watching the rain come down and
softly patter against the window. Sighing he twirled his cross in-between his
fingers, tugging on the chain lightly. The downcast look extremely out of place
in his normally overly bubbly personality. Watching the cloud roll by, lazy
thunder rumbling through them every now and then, he tucked his feet up under
him, resting his chin on his knees, still twiddling his cross.
" You
know God…." He mumbled to himself. " I don't think I ask for much do
I?" he whispered leaning his head back against the frame. " I know I
talk a lot. But is that really a crime?" a loud crack of thunder sounded
in the distance and he winced.
" Gee
thanks…" sighing he turned away from the window. Tapping his bare feet on
the cold wood. " Just tell me one thing. Why?" he said looking back
out the window. " Do you get some kind of twisted pleasure from seeing me
suffer? I asked you for a home and family…..I got a Gundam and a burned down
orphanage." A frown marred his features at that particular.
" I
asked you to help me find love…for years I asked you that…..and you gave me
Heero." He said bitterly." Thanks a lot. Maybe I wasn't specific
enough. When I said I wanted to find love…What I meant was I wanted to find
someone * I * loved. Who loved * me * back….. Instead I got Heero Yuy the
emotional black hole." Sighing he jumped again when another crack of
thunder sounded closer this time.
" You
couldn't give me someone who could love me could you? Hell even someone who
liked me would be nice….but nope I had to fall for the one man that could make
cupid quit his job and take accounting ." A small smile found his way on
his lips, when the scowling image of his lover, hovered before his eyes.
" Well
he is cute at least…. Completely impossible to talk to…. Suspicious, violent,
completely indifferent to me outside of the bedroom, suicidal, homicidal,
irrational, horrible fashion sense, prone to threatening to kill me, has the Queen
of the World for a stalker, and oh yeah worst of all I love him more than
anything in the world." Chuckling Duo lowered his eyes to stare at his
toes frowning slightly.
" Lucky
me." Looking back out at the rain that was coming heavier now, he pressed his
palm against the cold glass. " Then again…what right does a guy like me
have to ask for anything? I've got all I deserve, I shouldn't ask for
more…" sighing he pulled the blanket tighter around him. " But that
can't stop me from wishing for it….." So wrapped up in his watching Duo
didn't notice the figure slipping away from the partially open doorway closing
it gently once again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero sat
down in front of his laptop, frowning at the blank screen, every now and then
looking up to glare at the bedroom. Duo's words from a moment ago jumbling in
his mind… but one phrase kept coming back to stab him over and over.
'You couldn't
give me someone who could love me back could you?'.
The idiot,
didn't he know? Couldn't the moron see what he meant to him? How much he did
lo-lo- * that * to him. That he did care….he cared so much it hurt. Why
couldn't the damned braided baka see that!
A snide
little voice in the back of his mind whispered. 'How could he? It's not like
you declare your undying love for him on a daily bases….hell you can't even *
think * the word. '
'I show him-
'
' How to take
a sock in the gut, that's he's an idiot, a horrible pilot and he's worthless……I
do believe that's your daily spiel not exactly words a lover needs to hear.'
Huffing Heero
glared at his screen. 'He should know.'
' How?'
' He just
should!'
' Yeah but
how! Contrary to popular belief Duo is not a psychic. He can't * just know *
everything. He doesn't just know and you know it.'
' Will you
shutup and leave me alone?!'
NO! Incase
you haven't noticed Mr. Super-solider -Yuy but that boy in there loves you….
'I know that
and I lo-lo-….'
'The voice
snorted. You what? '
' You know
what I mean damnit!
'Yeah I do
but * he * doesn't you were listening * he* thinks you hate his guts.'
' He's
wrong.'
' * He *
thinks you see him as nothing more than a convenient- '
'NO! '
' Fuck.'
'No. He's
more than that…a lot more.'
' Well guess
what he still doesn't know that….maybe you should tell him.'
'I…can't.'
'Why not? If
you lo-lo * that* him... '
Don't mock
me.'
' Then you'd
better tell him…..before he realizes that you are the one who isn't worth it.'
' What does
that mean?'
' Oh
nothing…let's just say you aren't the only pilot who has a thing for violet eyed
long braided baka's…'the voice sneered.
What?!
' Oh come on
you've seen the way Wufei looks at him…you'd be blind not to.'
' I'll kill
him first. '
Yes that’s
the spirit good old perfect solider talking.'
' That's not
funny. '
'How would
you know? Anyway Yuy my point is this you'd better let him know now…or someone
else just might do it instead, and where will that leave you?'
' With you
unfortunately.'
' Exactly.
Now what are you going to do? '
' I don't
know what to do….I should show him how much I lov- * that * him.'
' Hey!
Getting better you got three of the letters out that time.'
Are you going
to help or what?
Sure. Why
don't you just go in there and tell him right now what you think of him!
'….'
'What? '
' I can't.'
'Why not?
Scared?'
' …. '
You're
scared?! Ha! That's a first!
Look are you
going to help or not?! '
' Ok
ok…..nothing says I love you like chocolate…..or in Duo's case you might want
to get him something else….something sharp metal and lightweight.
'So he can
kill me in my sleep no thanks…I could get him a new hairtie……maybe a gift
certificate for a lifetime supply of that shampoo he likes….'
'That's
romantic. And while your at it you can sing 'Every breathe you take' and clean
your gun while doing it. I'm sure that'll sweep him off his feet.'
No need to
get sarcas-Hey! That's it!' Heero perked…. Mentally.
' What's it?
You can't seriously be considering that-
'No! Now
shutup and let me work.' Standing abruptly from his chair he rushed across the
room toward the kitchen. Heero Yuy was going into uncharted territory,
completely unprepared, no mission plan, not even a basic layout, but this
mission was too important for him to fail.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Feeling a
cramp in his side, Duo uncurled from his position in the window, swinging his
feet onto the floor again he winced at the cold, letting the blanket trail on
the floor behind him, and winced again at the tight spasm in his side. Rubbing
it he grumbled all the way to the bedroom door, peaking out he looked toward the
closed laptop and frowned, listening he heard Heero muttering something to
someone about do it in exactly 3 minutes and 52 seconds or die horribly.
Shrugging he
walked back into the bedroom swinging the door shut behind him, and headed for
the bed. Heero would be coming to bed shortly anyway. Curling up on the cool
sheets, he fluffed his pillow a bit and yawned snuggling against it.
Reaching up
with one hand, he clicked the radio on the station that Quarte had got him
hooked on came through the speakers. Ooh just in time for Delia. Nodding he
listened to the normally soothing woman fluster though her advice…
Before he
could think about it, the door open and Heero walked in closing it softly
behind him. Catching a glimpse of the hard look on his face, Duo cringed and
made room on the bed. Slipping off his shirt despite the chill Heero got in
behind him, throwing his arm over his lover, in his usual sleeping position.
Duo grinned
and turned into him, nuzzling his shoulder, relishing one of the few contacts
with him that he was allowed. With a blink of surprise he felt the arm tighten
around him, looking up slightly he saw that Heero's glower was still in place.
Not one to
pass up an opportunity, Duo snuggled closer tossing a leg over Heero's hip. He
nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt Heero's hand on his flesh, rubbing
his thigh under his shorts.
"
Heero?" he looked up trying to catch his eyes. " Are you feeling
alright?" he asked placing the back of his hand against his forehead….
This soft touch was very not Heero…. The man who considered smacking him on the
head with his gun and then dragging him to the bedroom by his braid to be
foreplay….was massaging his leg…..And higher. This couldn't be Heero this was
an imposter! And as soon as he stopped doing that, he'd demand the real Heero
back.
" Shutup
baka." Nevermind. Letting his eyes drift shut he absorbed the warmth that
Heero was radiating with a smile. The sound of the DJ's voice returned from
commercial.
And were
back" she said having regained her composure. " During the last
song…I got a rather unusual call. At first the caller seemed rather violent and
threatening he really scared me for a moment…."
Duo felt
Heero tense up in his arms.
" But
now that I've had time to calm down and think about it….I see clearer what it
was about the man that called….Someone so used to being in control and getting
done what needs to get done…..the voice of someone who is used to giving orders
and people following them…..a man that is accustomed to hardships and pain…..a
man that is not used to dealing with his feelings…..a man that has found
someone who is worth learning about feeling for…."
Duo felt
Heero relax slightly against him. " And tonight he took the first of many
steps in learning……so tonight it's with pleasure that I play this song from
Heero to Duo, he says and I quote ' Just listen to the damn song baka' here's
your song boys." Duo lay there for a moment squeezed against Heero, a look
of complete shock on his face.
"
Heero?"
" Shutup
and listen." Snapping his mouth closed Duo reached up again and turned the
radio up as the song began to play.
Heero's
fingers twiddling with his braid nervously. The shock slowly giving way to
pleasure as the lyric's to the song hit him.
Lying here
with you
Listening to
the rain
Smiling just
to see the smile upon your face
These are the
moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the
moments
I'll remember
all my life
I found all
I've waited for
And I could
not ask for more
Looking in
your eyes
Seeing all I
need
Everything
you are is everything to me
These are the
moments
I know heaven
must exist
These are the
moments I know all I need is this
I have all
I've waited for
And I could
not ask for more
I could not
ask for more than this time together
I could not
ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer
has been answered
Every dream I
have's come true
And right
here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you
here with me
These are the
moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the
moments I'll remember all my life
I've got all
I've waited for - (with you)
And I could
not ask for more
I could not
ask for more than this time together
I could not
ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer
has been answered
Every dream I
have's come true
And right
here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you
here with me
I could not
ask for more than the love you give me
'Coz it's all
I've waited for
And I could
not ask for more
I could not
ask for more…..
The last
strands of the song died down and Delia's voice came back through the radio low
and soothing. " Once again ' I could not ask for more' from Heero to Duo
best of luck boys." She said softly.
Duo bit his
lip, and looked up at Heero, suspicious moisture clung to the corners of his
eyes.
"
Well?" Heero snapped at him frowning, but the way he swiped at the tears
that managed to escape Duo's eyes with his thumb, gave word to his concern. Duo
tilted his head up and pressed a light kiss to his lips.
" I love
you too Heero."
