Welcome to Sappy Ficlet Theater! Currently, it's a collection of three unrelated- well- sappy ficlets. ^_^;; They're sappy... and short. So they're sappy ficlets- of the 1x2x1 variety, naturally. More perhaps to come. I'll just throw here anything that I don't think has enough substance to be a legitimate fic ^^;;

Warnings: Sappity sap sap, shounen ai, fuzz

Disclaimers: I don't own Gundam Wing or any of its characters. And this goes for all my other fics when I was too young and naive to know that disclaimers are a good thing. Please don't sue.

Comments: It's sappy, it's cliche... Read it anyway ^.^ (please?)



Figuring It Out

Heero blearily opened the hatch of his Gundam and looked out into the hanger. For a moment, he considered just staying there and sleeping in the cockpit; he had done it before. But he knew he had something to take care of. And maybe, if he was lucky, he'd have someone warm to hold while he was going to sleep.

The idea of a bed, with or without that person, was enough to get Heero up and moving again.

He took the cable to the floor, barely able to hang onto the handle, and stumbled his way to the door. He gripped the knob and opened it. Great. It was raining. Not up for running all the way to the house, Heero began the ten-minute walk through the pouring rain in the dead of night.


Duo was sleeping on the couch when Heero finally stumbled through the door. He didn't wake up immediately, though. He blinked open his sleepy eyes to see Heero sitting on the couch next to him, soaking wet, legs apart, with his elbows on his knees and the palms his hands supporting his forehead.

He might've still been half-asleep, but Duo strangely was struck with the masculinity of the pose. He shifted his position to lean against the soaked boy, trying to warm him with his body heat.

"Hey," he heard the soft, low voice say. It spoke volumes. The casual greeting seemed to sum up all of Heero's welcoming of the comfort Duo was attempting to give and his relief to be there, despite the fact that the rain-soaked boy hadn't made a move to lean into the comfort. Heero never would have said "Hey" to just anyone.

"How did your mission go?" Duo asked, voice equally soft, but rough from sleep.

"Successful. Exhausting."

Duo wrapped his arms tighter around the other boy's frame and rubbed his back gently. "What do you think?"

"About what?" Heero picked his head up off his hands to lay it on Duo's shoulder. His hands fell heavily between his thighs with his elbows still on his knees.

"Anything."

"I think we need to talk..."

Duo laughed softly. "Never thought I'd hear that coming from you."

"Then we won't talk. You talk. Tell me why this happened. And why you stayed out here to wait for me. And why I came inside just to talk to you. And why you mean so damn much to me. And why you kissed me before I left." Heero shifted. "I just- don't have a clue."

"Heero. I can't presume to tell you why you do what you do or why you feel what you feel. But as for me..." He paused and shrugged, jostling Heero's head lightly. "I guess I don't quite know that either. I don't know what makes me care about you. But I do. And that's why I kissed you."

"Are you going to kiss me again sometime?"

"If you find out that's what you want."

"Will we figure it out?"

"I don't know."

"Tell me if you do."

"I will." Duo shook his head. "You're tired. Let's go to bed." He stood up to go to his own room.

"Duo-"

"hmm?"

"You're warm. Can we share a bed? Just for tonight..."

"Sure."

"Thanks."

"Anytime."
