"Duo…you know we're endangering lives by being together."

"I know. But there's just some attraction to you."

Duo and Heero stood in a crowd, looking at each other. Both knew they should pull away, and yet…couldn't.

"One of us should walk away."

"Yeah."

Duo and Heero leaned into each other, looking deep into each other's eyes.

Then their lips met. Gently. Undemanding. Each dug a hand into the hair at the base of the other's head. Wound an arm around the person kissing them.

Duo pulled away first, the taste of tears on his lips as he kissed Heero one last time.

And Duo left Heero raised his hands to his chest…where he and Duo had been pressed together so hard, he had a shallow imprint of a cross.
