Heero opened the door slowly. He looked around the room, being very cautious. He knew that 'silly braided baka' was definitely in his room trying to scare him, or play yet another prank on him again tonight. It was only to get him to show some kind of emotion. At least, that's the reason Duo gave for it the night Heero mistook him for someone else. Heero almost shot Duo, but it wouldn't have been on purpose. Well, that's happened more than just one occasion.

The moonlight crept in the window, it reflected over the white bed covers, revealing a nicely made bed. Next to it was a night stand, with a lamp and a clock. On the other side was a small dresser with three drawers in it. There was a small closet, but he knew Duo wouldn't be able to fit in there, he was just to muscular.

'Hn. I guess he's not in here for a switch. Silly baka' He thought to himself. He walked over to his bed, still being cautious, Duo always played a goodnight prank on Heero. Not that Heero minded, but he would never say anything of it. But something didn't feel right. Well he just decided to go to bed, so he stripped down into his boxers. He listened, intensely, something just didn't feel right.

He started to lean onto his bed when a hand grabbed his ankle!

"Arrr!!" Yelled the voice.

"Shit!" Heero jumped back somewhat surprised, while still maintaining his good anti-social look. Reaching for his pistol.

"Hahaha!" Said the voice from underneath the bed.

"Duo! That's NOT funny, I could've accidentally shot you!"

"Heero," Duo said climbing out of from underneath the bed, "you need to calm down. Loosen up!"

"Hn. Whatever. Can I go to sleep now?" He asked Duo blankly.

"Yeah, sorry. I guess I got a little bit to carried away with the pranks." "I'd say so."

Duo yelled "goodnight" as he dropped a yellow envelope onto Heero's bed without Heero saying a word. Whether or not Heero actually noticed it was another thing. Heero shut the door behind Duo and looked around and then hopped in bed. He discovered the envelope, 'what's this I wonder.'

"FROM someone who likes you!"

'What the heck? Who is this from? Duo?' Without anymore question, he opened the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper that lay neatly folded inside. He sat lay down on his bed and turned the lamp on.

Heero-

'Hey, this is your secret admirer. Ever since we met I realized that you would be a best friend to me. Lately I've got the feeling we are becoming closer. My heart desires something Heero, and I think it's something only you can give me.'

'Heero, I have never felt this way towards anyone, ever in my life before. Not to Hilde, Quatre, Trowa, or Wufei. I am unsure what this means Heero, but I..I love you..'

'I had to write this note to tell you this. I thought that if you didn't feel the same way you would reject me, and never speak to me again. Please Heero, I don't want to lose our friendship. I care so much for you.'

'Please, understand, I had to say this, I couldn't keep it in any longer.'

'Your Pal, Shinigami'

'Duo? You..love me?' Heero thought on this for a little while. Could he love someone? Could the perfect soldier devote his life to love and protect a single human being? Did he love Duo? Yes.at least he thought it was love. He never experienced this kind of feeling before. 'I better go settle this with him.' Before thinking it any further Heero got up and walked out of his room. The safe house they were in was, according to Quatre, a spacious log cabin. Which meant is was a log mansion to all the others.

Heero approached Duo's door, he hesitated, but knocked lightly and walked in. There lay Duo with his head under his pillow, shaking. 'Is he crying?' Heero thought to himself. 'No, Duo would never cry.' He walked over to the shaking braided boy, obviously he didn't know that Heero had come in.

"Duo?"

The shaking stopped almost immediately.

"Heero?" Duo mumbled in question form underneath his pillow.

Heero sat down on the edge of the bed near Duo's buried head.

"Duo.I...I."

Realizing Heero was trying to say something Duo unburied himself from his pillow. A tear streaked face glistened in the moonlight from the window. He really was handsome. Even if he had been crying.

"I'm sorry Heero, please don't hate me." Duo said with another tear, he tried to hold back remembering 'Boys don't cry.'

"Baka, why would I hate you?"

"Because I wrote the note. There is only ONE shinigami."

"You thought I would hurt you if you ever asked me anything like that?" Heero asked in disbelief.

"I was scared Heero."

"First things first Duo. I don't want you to EVER be afraid to come to me about ANYTHING ."

Duo looked happy, but confused just the same. Heero scooted closer to him. They could feel each other's breath on their cheeks.

"Duo, I love you too." Heero said as closed the remaining gap between himself and Duo. There warm wet lips met for the first time ever. Each kissing the one they loved. There small kiss turned into a passionate one and there tongues began to explore new territory. They explored each others mouth. Duo pulled Heero's tongue in his mouth and sucked on it. The perfect soldiers eyes went wide with pleasure. Something he was not accustom too. But the suddenly Duo pulled away.

"Your okay with this? You really want this for us?" He asked with great concern.

"Duo, Ever since I met you, I wanted nothing more."

"Good answer!" Duo said sucking his tongue back into his mouth. Duo just realized that Heero was in his boxers and was apparently rock hard. So was he though.

"Heero," he said backing away just a little, "is it okay if we wait to make love? It's my first time, I want it to be with you but I also want it to be special. I feel it will be if we just wait a little while."

"I don't mind at all. But I better be getting off to bed." He pulled Duo into one more kiss and stood up and began to walk out the room.

"Heero, wait."

He stopped right at the door, "Yeah?"

"Will you sleep in here with me tonight?"

Heero turned around to see Duo's face. He looked so happy.

"Yes."

"Thanks Heero."

He walked over to the bed and sat in it. Pulling the covers over the both of them. Duo quickly leaned against Heero's muscular chest and rested his head upon it, wrapping his left arm around Heero's upper body, and entwining their legs together. Heero gave a small kiss to Duo's head before leaning his head on the pillow and holding Duo tightly and warmly into his embrace.
