A/N: In a desire to find where my creative juices hid, I've challenged myself to a 30-day fic challenge. These fics will span over different categories. Yesterday I did a HP fanfic, today is GW. This little idea came from my own frustration with not being a Yankees fan while living in New York.

Warnings: 1x2

30-Day Challenge: Day 2
Damn Yankees

Contrary to popular belief, Heero Yuy was a patient man. Well, perhaps that patience most often involved a certain braided ex-Gundam pilot. Despite Heero's extraordinary advances in the field of Duo-inspired patience, even he was nearing the end of his rope.

Before moving in with Duo, Heero had not known of his boyfriend's love for "the great American game" of baseball. Apparently Duo was a very devout Yankees fan. Though Heero did not understand the type of fanaticism associated with sports teams, he did not begrudge Duo his joy.

Duo made sure to catch every game on television. He had baseball cards of the greatest Yankees to ever play the field. Small items of paraphernalia littered the house. Every time Duo came home with a new piece Yankees merchandise, Heero would resist the urge to roll his eyes. This time, however, Duo had gone too far.

"That is not going on our bed," Heero said flatly.

"Ah, c'mon Hee-chan! It totally fits the color scheme in there. It's blue and white, how could you not like blue and white?"

"The colors are not what I am protesting. I am not sleeping beneath a Yankees comforter," he said stubbornly. "And don't call me 'Hee-chan'."

Duo blinked. "Why don't you want a Yankees comforter?"

Heero sighed. "Duo, you litter the walls with Yankees items. You watch every single game. Half of our dishes are Yankees. I do not want this apartment to turn into some kind of college dorm."

Duo pouted. "But Heero—"

Heero pulled forth one of his rarely used—these days anyway—glares. "No."

And that was the end of the conversation. Heero didn't like to put his foot down when it came to Duo, but he had to draw the line somewhere.

"Why do you love the Yankees so much?" he finally asked.

Duo scratched his head. "I dunno. Father Maxwell had roots in New York, so I kinda adopted that. And New Yorkers are real loyal to the Yankees."

Heero wanted to question what the Yankees did to deserve the loyalty, but he never challenged Duo on things when it came to the late priest. He would let Yankees have Duo's unearned loyalty, but he'd be damned if they got anything from him.

A/N: So…you can either read this as AU, or assume that baseball was still played in AC times. I'm not too impressed with this story, but I dunno… Let me know what you think.
