The set of ficlets and drabbles for this series is a challenge given by Corazon de Fuego. A challenge to write the full 28 days of February, at least 100 words (drabble) a day for a minimum of 2,800 words for the month. So these pieces will be short, but hopefully fulfilling nonetheless.
Title: A Name for All Reasons,
Pairings: Heero, Duo (friendship)
Warnings: Innuendo implied
Notes: this idea came while i was on a call this morning with one of our vendors. the vendor was telling about the new method of transmitting files from one site to the other, and it was all i could do to not break out in 12 yr old-type sniggers. i just knew duo was behind the naming of such a method.
The call had barely ended when Heero appeared in his cube, face slightly flushed and fingers pinching pleats in his jeans. "Duo," he started, "I hesitate to ask just where your mind is in naming the new transmission method."
Slipping his headset off, Duo offered a grin. "Would you believe baseball?"
Heero snorted, relaxing a hip against the desktop. "No."
"Gotta admit, it works in all situations." His eyebrows did a little dance.
"Some more than others," Heero said. "They shouldn't let you name the damn things." Still grinning, he shook his head. "Pitcher and catcher…only you, Maxwell. Only you."
