Something so beautiful, dirty?



The door could be heard opening and closing as Duo Maxwell walked into the apartment that he and a certain Yuy shared. With a deep sigh he made his way to the plush, orange couch and dived onto it. Pillows scattered everywhere.

"Back from Hilde so early?" Heero arched a brow toward his braided friend as he continued tapping away on his laptop. Friend? It was unspoken but mutual. Both understood the arrangement of their little 'friendship' they shared, if that's what you could call it. Basically Duo made sure to leave Heero alone before he was shot between the eyes and Heero would keep his physical attacks to a minimum. Where did threats against bodily harm stand? All was still fair in threat territory.

"Yeah," Duo mumbled from somwhere under a cushion.

"Hn."

"She wants me to marry her!" the consistent tapping paused for a moment, then continued up once again.

"So?" Heero asked in his monotonous voice. Duo sighed. It was so complicated. He didn't know what had happened between them. He had loved her years ago after a meeting by chance. He should have had no problem finalizing their relationship but it just felt so...hollow? But he loved her, he reminded himself.

"I don't know," Duo stated simply "I'm not sure I'm ready for marriage yet, you know? The final lock down!" said Duo in a deep chilling voice.

Soft violet eyes watched inquisitively as Heero slammed his laptop shut and placed it on the side table. With one swift movement Heero pulled himself up and walked over to the fridgerator in their open kitchen. Duo's watching became more intent on every toned as it glided under the olive skin where Heero reached behind himself to scratch. Blinking, Duo's brows furrowed together in confusion after hearing a weird noise escape from somewhere only to realize in horror it was coming from him. Duo quickly shook his head a little as he snapped himself out of his stupor. What the hell just happened?

"We have that party to attend at Quatre's the day after tomorrow," Duo reminded Heero with a huge grin creeping onto his face. The grin grew bigger (if possible) when hearing the small string of curses flowing from the kitchen from a certain Yuy.

"Aww come on!" Duo teased "one Peacecraft blonde will be there!"

Suddenly there was silence. Silence? In the Maxwell/Yuy home?

"What are you getting at Maxwell?" Heero ducked his head in from around the corner with a scowl on his face. His prussion blues glaring intensely on him.

Duo's face lit up mischieviously once again "Getting at? Why would I be getting at anything?"

Heero shrugged as he continued walking towards his room "whatever."

"Look there's Relena, sitting on Zero! K-i-s-s, Kissing Hee- EEP!" Duo found a gun barrel pointing between his eyes yet once again as his thin frame was pushed up against a wall. An ache almost forming in Duo's back

"Care to finish the rhyme?" Heero asked coldly, the smirk that was once playing on his features now gone. Duo shook his head vigorously. Suddenly Duo's eyes lit up and a grin came across his features.

"Heero," Duo said in a sing-song voice.

"What, baka?" Heero eyes bored into his own.

Silence.

"Your gun's unloaded!" Duo shouted all of a sudden.

"Hmf, no it's isn't," Heero adverted his eyes for a moment to his gun. This was all Duo needed to scoop Heero's feet out from under him in the meantime slamming him into a hold on the floor. Eyes widened, Heero assesed the situation only to look slowly up into clear violet eyes staring right back at him only mere inches away from his own. He could even feel his warm breath colliding and melting in with his own. A slight blush hinted on Duo's features. Blush? Why would he be blushing? Oh... Oh! Heero's eyes widened for the second time. Duo's soft smile faded as he never broke contact. Quickly, Heero took hold of Duo's wrists, rolled them over and stood up. He nearly ran from the room into his own private one, but not before kicking a certain lying Maxwell in the gut and throwing a harsh "bastard" over his shoulder.

"What the hell was that Maxwell?" Duo scolded himself as he threw his head back, banging it with a thud down on the floor.

-------------------------------------------Two Days Later (Quatre's Party)-- ---------------------------------------------

"Hee-chan!" Heero visibly stiffened as Relena came running up to him and swung her arms around her neck. Hilde smiled next Duo, her arm hooked in his.

"Isn't that sweet?" Hilde whispered into his ear, a sweet smile sparkling not just on her pink lips, but twinkly widely in her cornflower blue eyes.

"Yeah," Duo growled out. He frowned, ever since the incident a couple days ago on the living room floor images of himself and Heero flashed in and out of his head. Invading his thoughts altogether. His feelings were so confused like a blizzard was roaring in his head, blocking his free thoughts. His attraction to the perfect soldier grew. When did it begin? He didn't know. Might he be...? He had never considered the posibilty before, it just was never there. What would Heero think if he knew he were thinking such thoughts of him. He'd probably kill him, after ripping out his bleeding heart and stomping on it. Then he's just scowl and walk away. The others? If they knew? They'd be disgusted for sure. Wufei would take it the hardest. Hilde! He was in love with Hilde! Duo inwardly sighed in relief. What he needed was to wash his face to make himself feel better. She was looking lovely tonight in a midnight shaded dress, cut down to her knees and slit up the side. Placing a few kisses on Hilde's jaw more for himself, she giggled as she softly pushed him away. Yes, he loved her. Duo excused himself to the bathroom.

"Are you feeling alright, Duo," Quatre asked genuinely concerned "you look a little pale."

"Yeah, fine. Be right back," Duo excused himself once more, walking over to the long upward staircase. Quatre's mansion was more or less....huge. Well, when it came to mansions that is. Ascending the stairs he came among a long hallway filled with doors.

'Now where's the damn bathroom?' Duo looked around, scratching the back of his head. Even the doors were lavish, with curvy frames and gold handles.

'Guess I'll have to just open one and try' Duo shrugged, turning one of the gold handles and pushing it inward. Inside were....

"MAXWELL!" his eyes widened upon noting this was rather a bedroom than the lavatory. Laughter came from beneath the furious pilot.

"Ugh...heh heh, hey Sally!" Duo waved.

"Hi Duo!" Sally waved back and smiled from beneath Wufei but was immediately snapped back into reality by her irritated lover "Oh! Sorry Duo, we're kind of busy right now. You can visit Wufei later, Bye-EEP!" Sally giggled as Wufei pulled her under the blanket. Duo's eyes bulged as he slammed the door and leaned against the frame.

'Whew! Do I EVER have something to tell Quatre later!' Duo thought with a grin, deciding to knock on all the rest of the doors without entering first. Fortunately he recognized a familiar face before having to do so.

"Hi Rashid!" Duo stopped him before he walked away, seemingly in hurry to return to attending to the party.

"Oh hello," the large man grinned.

"Where are the bathrooms?" Duo asked. Rashid happily directed Duo toward them and left in the hurry he came in.

"Thanks," Duo called down the hall as he turned the handle and walked in to the spacious room filled with many stalls, not bothering to close the door. He turned the faucet on cold and splashed his face with the icy water. Immediately hearing soft steps behind him he continued drying his face preparing to attack.

"Maxwell," stated the deep yet familiar voice.

"Heero? What are you-" Duo arched a brow meaningfully.

"Relena."

"Oh?" Duo stated more than asked wryly "I would of never guessed." Heero scoffed in reply leaning against one of the many sinks.

"She told me she loved me," he looked downward to the tiles on the floor. Duo felt his heart constrict tightly with the revelation. Yes, Heero belonged to Releena, just as he to Hilde. Hot tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes but Duo had yet to discover a true reason for their mere existence. Cry? Crying was for the weak and pathetic. Why? Duo through his face away to hide himself.

'Baka! What's wrong with you?'

"Well, what did you say?" Duo choked out. He realized too late he shouldn't have asked the question in the first place, fearing the reply.

"Say? I got the fuck out of there!" Heero exclaimed. As if synchronized to Heero's words Duo's face swung over to to meet the one of the other pilot's. If any emotion lied in Heero's eyes at all in was confusion, as he slowly brought his right hand up to hold Duo's chin. Confusion of the salty liquid that lay unspilled in the braided boy's sparkling eyes.

Heero was gazing so intensely, as if trying to solve an enigma. Duo a puzzle? Brows were furrowed together in concentration with mouth making small movements and the only thing Duo could think about was kissing away each wrinkle Heero's deep frown created on his perfect features. Heero motioned to speak but nothing came out. Until finally...

"Duo-"

With only instinct on his side, Duo crashed his lips into Heero's into a bruising kiss. Squeezing his eyes shut he didn't have to see the shock in the other pilots eyes. Duo moved his mouth into the bitter sweet warmth, not pulling a response from the shelled Heero. Pushing hands held onto zero pilot's arms. Suddenly, the raging blizzard in Duo's head that had resided for days now, stopped storming quite so hard. The snow, gradually melting away and his thoughts coherent to only one thing, the perfect soldier in front of him.

Duo was suddenly thrusted away with great force and fell onto the floor. There stood Heero, eyes dilated, lips swollen. He abruplty righted his postion, standing up.

"Heero-" Duo tried as the pilot made his way towards the doorway.

"No, don't shut me out now," Duo cried out "I love you!" Duo's eyes widened to his own words, as Heero stopped. Backing up, Duo was now fearing his own life rather than what had just conspired on in the washroom. Duo whimpered as he backed into the wall.

"Hee-" With a loud crack, Duo didn't even see Heero's fist as it connected to his jaw. Slumping to the floor, Duo clasped his jaw with his hands. He knew Heero had left him in more ways than one that night. Slamming his head back against the wall, Duo released the salty liquid from his eyes. The pain in his jaw was much more bearable than the one constricting his heart, causing his breaths ragged.

Heero.

Mintly: True, but don't all the authors say that to be mean at the end of the chapters?

Stanley: Heh, mean streak eh? So what about Hilde?

Mintly: Oh she's still around! I've got big plans for her.

Stanley: So no more Heero/Duo?
