Duo's Braid

Duo and I have been best friends for a long time. I've never seen his braid out. He refuses to show it to anyone, instead, when asked, remaking only that it's special.

"Duo. I just want to see your hair down." I growl.

"No way, man." He laughs tauntingly.

I chase him into our living room, over the couch, and pin him on his back. He leans up so close and my heart starts to beat. I never thought I'd think of him like that… He bit me… hard right on the neck. That little bastard. I feel myself kicked of my captive and away he flies again out on to our porch. I follow him just in time to see Duo start to slip. Normally I wouldn't worry, but he was about to slip off a huge drop. Acting on instinct I lean forward and grab his braid. Furiously Duo whips around and pulls his braid out of my hand. Yet I still fell something in it. Slowly I open my hand and look down to reveal Duo's elastic band. Looking up I see an equally shocked look on his face, then the mass of soft wavy hair flowing around him. Until this point I'd never been able to imagine an angel, but now I think it would look as innocent as Duo did in that split second.

"Relene." He growled then turned and stomped out, stopping only to grab a coat and stuff his hair under its hood.

Later I entered Duo's room, he was trying to untangle snarls from his hair. Gently I take the brush from him and take up the task.

"I'm sorry Duo." I'm totally sincere.

"Me too." I couldn't understand why Duo was sounded so sorry. What had he done?

"Why are you sorry?"

Duo turned. "I went to your boyfriend's. Heero was quite receptive." He wiggled hi eyebrows suggestively.

Ok so I shouldn't have punched him but how was I to know that Heero was quite receptive of the wine Duo had brought with him?
