Blanket of Stars
Duo blew out a breath, leaning back on his elbows as he gazed at the night sky. He still couldn't actually believe it really. A year, a full year of peace. Finally no more war, no more killing. No more Heero. He thought with a sharp jolt of pain. He'd come to love the Japanese teen but after Heero had took Relena up on her job offer after Mariemia, Duo had vanished, unable and unwilling to watch the man he loved start a life with a woman he didn't like. That was a year ago though.
He let out a sigh and fell back on the blanket spread out on the grassy hillside. He jerked up when he heard foot steps coming closer, aiming right for him. He swivieled around and froze.
"H-Heero?" Violet eyes widened as the other came closer, dropping the bag he had next to the blanket and sitting down next to the shocked American teen.
"Hai." Heero whispered.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be guarding Princess Pink?"
Heero shook his head. "No. I left someone else in charge, awhile ago. Une caught me and ropped me into the Preventers." He stated calmly, looking up at the sky.
Duo blinked. "Oh." He couldn't really quiet believe that. "But what about, Relena?" He grit out her name.
Heero turned to him, questions flickering in his eyes. "What about her?"
Duo grit his teeth and looked out over the calm waters of the ocean. "Won't she be upset with you when she finds out that you won't be coming back to her guard?"
Heero frowned. "She'll get over it." He couldn't fully read Duo right now, which was odd, he'd always been able to read the braided baka. "She's the entire reason I left." Duo head snapped around. "She made me realise something."
Duo's heart skipped a beat. "And what was that?"
Heero's lips quirked up. "That I already had the perfect partner."
Duo sollowed thickly. "Why did you come here Heero?"
"Many reasons." Heero muttered, turning his gaze upward again, to the blanket of stars. "One, Une told me I had to find a partner. There's only one person I'd ever trust enough to be my partner. Two, Quatre told me I needed to take a break. Three." He paused.
Duo's hand twitched and he clenched his fist. "Three?" He demanded in a light whisper.
"I-I needed to see you. To tell you." Heero whispered back.
"Tell me?"
Heero licked his lips before he moved suddenly, firmly planting his lips over Duo's. "That I love you." He whispered softly after breaking the kiss. He wasn't prepared for Duo's reaction.
The braided teen tackled him, forcing him back onto the ground as the American climbed ontop of him, locking their lips together in a fiery, demanding kiss.
"Idiot." Heero whisppered affectionatly. Duo let out a rather breathless laugh. "You know you love me." He murmured seductively. Under a blankent of stars, Heero showed Duo just how much he loved him.
