It's was the middle of June and Heero and Trowa both agreed to take a holiday together, they sat down in Heero's flat in Tokyo Japan and began flicking through brochures of places they could go. As they were flicking through the magazines the phone rang just as the doorbell did. Heero got up to answer the door while Trowa answered the phone.
"Hello."
"Hey Trowa its Kat, I was hearing from Wufei that you and Heero were planning a holiday together and were looking for someplace?"
"Yeah but non of these brochures you sent us sparkle our interest."
"I thought not, that's why I've got an even better idea, how about you both go to my Ranch in Australia, plenty wide open space and plenty to do with all the animals and such."
"Yeah sounds good to me, I'll ask Heero when he comes back, he's at the door at the moment."
Heero opened the door and there stood a tall blond girl, the one he had been trying to avoid for so long.
"HEERO!"
"Relena."
"Heero I've been looking for you everywhere."
"So I heard."
"Look Heero I'm sorry about what happened between us, I just want you to know that I don't blame you for anything."
"Relena, Just go away huh?"
"But Heero I…" He didn't give her a chance to finish her sentence instead he simply slammed the door in her face, which rattled the mantle piece. By the time he walked back into the lounge Trowa had said bye to Quatre and had hung up.
"Who was that?" "Who was that?" They both asked each other at the same time.
"It was Quatre…" "It was Relena…" They both smiled at each other and Heero gestured for Trowa to go first.
"It was Kat saying that we could stay at his ranch in Australia if we liked?"
"Hmm, sounds ok to me."
"So who was at the door?"
"Its not important, come on then, if we're going we best get started." Heero seemed a bit more Cheery than usual to Trowa, not that he minded it was better than the solemn Heero he was so used to seeing.
As soon as they were packed a courier arrived at the door with their tickets for their flight and a taxi to take them to the airport all paid for by their friend Quatre.
The plane journey was long and Heero fell asleep almost instantly, Trowa sat next to him and watched him with curiosity occasionally and very gently so as not to wake him stroking the back of Heero's hand or brushing a bang away from his eyes.
"He's so…angelic when he's sleeping."
The plane then landed at Sydney International and yet another Taxi was waiting for the two of them to take them out to the ranch.
It was night time by the time they got there but either way they both went for a look around. Heero spotted the two four by fours in the garage, while Trowa spotted the Stallions in the paddocks. Then they both went into the wooden cabin to sleep as jetlag was beginning to quickly catch up to them.
The next morning Heero was the last to wake up he felt the heat almost immediately but either way he still went out. He met Trowa on his way out, "They fire is a log one so, would you mind chopping up some wood for us?"
"Yeah sure." Heero replied almost child like making him blush.
Trowa just smiled handing Heero the axe and made his way over to the paddocks.
It wasn't so much what he was doing; it was more how he was doing it. Heero stood leaning against the wooden log made fence, wearing only a pair of blue denim jeans, he stood bare foot with one ankle crossed over the other, his hair was soaked in sweat from the sweltering heat, his whole muscular body glinted and shone in the sunlight as he moved gently, looking over at the paddock.
In the paddock stood several wild stallions and right in the centre of them all was Trowa. Heero's colbat eyes scanned over Trowa's naked torso, as he too had shed his shirt because of the heat. Heero watched intentivly as Trowa stroked a black Stallion's long neck, which shone and almost shimmered in the sunlight. He watched drops of water run down his long fringe that veered to his right drop down onto the ground below Trowa's feet and evaporate. Although, Heero was more interested in the way Trowa stroked the wild horse.
"I wonder if Trowa's hands are really as soft and gentle as they look from here?"
Trowa looked up from what he was doing and looked over at his admiring audience, then his emerald green eyes looked Heero over noticing the only piece of clothing that he had on. Trowa discreetly licked his lips mildly tasting the salt from his sweat. Trowa stood admiring every inch of Heero's naked flesh as the sweat caused each muscle to shine.
Heero suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked straight at Trowa who had begun to smile. Heero blushed scarlet and walked back to the woodpile, he realised he'd been caught starring. Trowa then turned to the stallion he was stroking and looked deep into its dark brown eye's, "What do you think Thunder, do you think Heero likes me?" The black stallion responded in the only way it possibly could and moved its head up and down several times. "Hmm, I think you're right." He gave the stallion a pat on the neck then vaulted over the paddock fence and walked into the cabin taking a glance at Heero as he went inside. Heero finished his swing down on a log and looked back as Trowa walked inside the cabin.
"I wonder if he knows?" Heero put the axe firmly into the stump of the tree he was cutting the wood with and walked into the cabin. As he walked in he could feel the cool air compared to the heat that was building outside. Trowa was in the kitchen standing by the sink with a mug of water in his hand. Heero stood near the doorway half hidden by the doorframe. He watched as Trowa took a swig from the mug then pour the rest of the water over himself. Trowa then ran his hands over his naked body and through his well soaked hair. Heero could feel a bulge building in his jeans. He quickly darted into one of the bedrooms as Trowa came walking out of the kitchen.
Heero peeked out from behind the bedroom door, then once he made sure Trowa was gone he walked back out into the sweltering heat. Still barefoot he pulled the axe from the stump and picked up another log to chop. As he did a scorpion raised its head from behind the log opposite. Slowly it crawled out of its hiding place and stealthily crawled towards Heero. Heero bent down to pick up another log. As he did the scorpion raised its tail in warning. Then when Heero picked up the log it struck. The scorpion struck and injected its poisonous venom into Heero's bare foot.
Heero sharply yelled in pain and swung the axe at the scorpion cutting it in half. Then Heero started to feel dizzy and collapsed to the ground, "T..rowa..h..elp me." Trowa was in the barn feeding the sheep when he heard Heero shout. He quickly dropped what he was doing and rushed back over to the cabin.
When he arrived he looked down at the halved scorpion then picked Heero up and took him inside. Quickly but gently he placed Heero onto one of the beds and rushed through to the bathroom. He came back seconds later with an orange box with a hazard sign on it, from the box he pulled out a syringe and a small bottle. He drew some liquid from the bottle and injected the syringe into Heero's arm.
After a couple of minutes Heero broke out in a cold sweat that soaked the bed covers,
"Good the serum's working it might make him feel ill for a bit but at least he's alive."
Trowa bent down and placed a gentle kiss on Heero's lips before going back to work.
