Just A Love Song

Game 9 – Date Night

"How's it feeling?" Trowa asked from his lazy boy, Duo sat on the couch gently touching the still angry red line across his nose. The stitches had been removed after their soccer game, and the bruises under his eyes had faded to a yellowish, green grossness that Duo was hoping would soon dissipate. It was Thursday night and Duo hadn't seen Heero since Saturday of the pervious week after the water park fiasco. Trowa had assured him the man was still staying at the mansion, but had been in meetings with his record people, doing photo shoots, and getting ready for his next album. Heero had been texting him when he could, but had not really mentioned anything, just that he wanted to spend the weekend with him.

"How's the wooing going?" Trowa queried from his chair bare feet sticking out, as his cat Sweater, short for Sweater Vest, sat on his chest getting it's chin rub. Duo had found he was alright around the cat when he came to visit just not about to spend a lot of time around it. "Ok I guess haven't seen him since Saturday but he said he wanted to do something this weekend." The auburn haired man smiled a little, "Giving your wounds time to heal before you get more injured." Duo sent him a look leaning back into the couch leaning his own feet on the coffee table. "It's just been accidents," he mumbled not looking at his best friend. "Sure, Duo your would be boyfriend is a walking disaster. Bad luck follows him like a cloud." Duo groaned cover his still puffy eyes, he couldn't argue that point really.

Feeling his pocket vibrate he pulled out his cell, his little envelope telling him he had a text from Heero. Flipping the phone open he read the message smiling a little, Working late tonight at a shoot. How is your night? Duo's fingers click across the small keyboard, replying Trowa looked at his friend. A small chuckle escaping him as he rolled his eyes, one thing about watching these two it was never a dull moment.

Outside of town, about four hours away Heero sat on a small couch in the change room looking at his overpriced top of the line phone. His manager had insisted he have so he could be assured his client would always be in touch with him. His black lacquered finger nails clicked the keys sending a text to Duo, glossed lips bit in concentration. "Heero we start again in five," the lady with the headset was urging him back. He was taking photos for his new album, one that wasn't J-pop one that had a flair of his own. He sighed wishing Duo a goodnight, and hopefully he'd see him soon.

Shutting the phone he stood. Looking in the mirror as he passed it by. His hair was tousled and spiked in a perfect manner that spoke of not caring, his eyes where dark, the eyeliner making the blue so much brighter then normal. His blue jeans where so tight they looked to be painted on, he wore two belts each tilting from his waist, the black button up shirt was to tight, and to short by design. He sighed trying not to fidget he didn't think this was really him, but it was what his target audience wanted, the teenage girls. He grabbed his guitar walking barefoot out of the trailer and into the night where the photographers where waiting.

Friday afternoon, Duo was rather fond of Friday's he didn't have practice, he usually had a quite night and Gundam was on. He was also wondering if Heero was going to make it back here for them to do something. He was whistling softly as he waved goodbye to the boys in the garage and headed off down the sidewalk walking the three blocks home.

He had made it almost home when he recognized the sports car that showed up at his doorstep and the tousled head that leaned out the window. "Hey stranger!" Heero called with a smile, his large aviators eating up most of his face. Duo grinned back pushing his hat back on his head, "Hey there, how's it going?" Duo came over leaning on the top of the car bending almost in half to see Heero. "Wondering if I can tempt you out tonight? Dinner and a movie?" he asked softly hopefully peering over the top of his glasses to look a Duo. "Sounds great, come up while I change?" Hoping out the car Heero shut and locked the door following Duo up the now familiar stairs to his red door and beyond.

"What where you thinking of seeing?" Duo called down from his loft as he scrambled to pull on something he deemed manly, and sexy at the same time. He cast about his room cursing his wardrobe not for the first time. Clad only in his black boxer briefs he glanced to where Heero was leaning against his counter reading the paper looking casual tonight in his straight legged jeans, a deep blue, flip flops, and white short sleeve button up collard shirt. Cursing he tugged on his own faded out denim jeans torn in all the right places or so he believed. Buttoning them up quickly he cast about for a shirt casual or…he pulled on a plain black t shirt that was a little tighter then his usual ones. The material hugged all the right places, or at least he hopped it would. "Was thinking of seeing that new action one? Or maybe a horror been a while since we went to a horror movie." He called up as Duo sat on the edge of his bed pulling on some socks.

Duo smiled, during the war when they where between missions and together in safe houses Duo and Heero would have movie nights. They had loved renting old horror movies and laughing at the stupidity of the characters in the seemingly predictable plots. It had been some of his best memories of the war. Ready he practically jumped down the ladder ignoring the twinge of his leg as he met the other at the island counter. "Ready?" Heero asked giving him a smile, with a nod they where off.

The dinner went infinitely better then the one they had first had at the expensive restaurant. Duo had chosen the place, a small little greasy spoon he ate at sometimes that had the greatest burgers ever. He watched laughing at Heero sigh of bliss as he bite into his bacon cheeseburger, "This is fantastic!" he cried making the other laugh. They chatted as they ate, Heero telling Duo all about his week the excitement over the new album, how much he hated photo shoots. Duo listened with a soft smile, he liked this new chatty Heero. It was almost like the other was making up for lost time. He'd always been so quiet and withdrawn, Duo feeling like he needed to gab to fill the silence. These days he chatted like he needed to catch up, Duo didn't mind he liked listening to Heero's stories he had such interesting ones from teenage fan girls to overly friendly other musicians. He smiled internally, it was also a great way to kill time waiting in emergency rooms.

They made it through dinner, Duo paying this time and head for the theatre debating the merits of various movies they could potentially see. They finally made a decision for old time sake deciding to see a horror movie. Buying the tickets, standing in line for popcorn and a drink Heero without even really thinking about it leaned into Duo, looping his arm through his as he watched the surroundings from under the brim of his borrowed cap. Duo had looped an arm around Heero's waist holding him close thankful that he was taller. They opted to share some popcorn and a drink, Heero feeling like a couple as they trailed after the crowd headed for their movie. The film was gory, but predictable Heero and Duo sharing a few laughs and Heero jumping several times grabbing Duo's hand for comfort.

The evening had turned out better then Heero had hoped their track record had been lousy and he had been thinking that the fates had been conspiring against them. Tonight however as he dropped Duo off he felt at loath to let the night end. Duo was feeling much the same way. "You want to come up for a bit?" the long haired man asked shyly, Heero smiled "Absolutely." The two headed back up the feeling of the evening having completely changed, the tension was thick. Duo grabbed them a couple of sodas from the fridge, settling with them on the couch. They chatted about the movie laughing as they sat together unaware as they moved closer tighter.

"I had a really good time tonight," Heero whispered Duo reached out gently brushing tousled hair behind one ear with a smile, "So have I, I didn't end up in the emergency room" he teased gently. Heero moaned covering his face in embarrassment, "I am so sorry all that happened," he whispered Duo laughed aloud at that. "It's ok no worries I've got a hard head." Laugh Heero unconsciously leaned forward gently touching Duo's new scar across his nose, "Hope its better." He whispered leaning in closer . "It's ok," Duo replied staring into blue eyes, so wide and clear…taking him back the eyes where the same the face was a little different.

Heero was thinking much the same, Duo was so different so much more grown up but his eyes, his unusually blue violet eyes where the same as always. He hadn't realized how close he had leaned in, he inhaled Duo who smelled of outside, clean, and sort of an underlying grease. Blue eyes fascinated on the lips in front of him wondering what Duo would do if he kissed him? Unconsciously he leaned in a little more and the taller man leaned in meeting him the rest of the way. Their lips touching hesitantly, cautiously exploring each other. Electric chills ran up and down his spine, Heero opened his mouth letting out a small moan Duo captured it pushing the kiss deeper.

All thoughts fled from Duo's head, any thought he had of taking it slow, starting over…fled. He was doing something he had been aching to do since they where fifteen years old, he was kissing Heero Yuy. Sitting back on the couch he felt Heero climb into his lap, his erection very much apparent in his denim. Arms wrapped around each other tight the kiss went on and on, until need for air drove them apart. Panting Heero rested his forehead against Duo's, "Wanted to do that for so long," Duo mumbled licking already wet lips. Heero's own slightly swollen well kissed lips smiled, "Would you believe me if I told you I did too." Duo raised an eyebrow in puzzlement, "Maybe a little skeptical," he said hesitantly. Heero felt his heart break a little, "I guess there's one thing left for us to talk about." Duo nodded slowly sighing Heero bit his lip cuddling close, feeling Duo wrap warm arms around him. It was time for the truth and they both knew it.

"Why did you walk away that night Heero?" Duo asked closing his eyes tight trying not to let his panic show. Heero felt his heart beat speed up though matching his own. "Did you not love me?" Heero suddenly pulled back with an empathetic "No!" he'd been nestled under Duo's chin and with his jerk cracking his head against Duo's jaw causing him to close his jaw with a crack unfortunately catching his lip. With a whimper he closed his eyes as pain lanced through his mouth and the metallic tasting blood flooding his mouth. "Oh my god Duo!" Heero was panicking blood was running down his chin and staining his dark shirt. "Shfine," he slurred his lip was already swelling. Heero ran to the kitchen grabbing a dish towel and running back and pressing it against Duo's mouth. The blood flow soon soaked the towel and Heero began ushering Duo to the door, "We are going to the emergency room." Duo groaned dragging his feet he'd been to the emergency room far to may times in the last two weeks.
