What can I say? Expect... Your wish is my comand. Ladies and Gentlemen: It is almost time... For the last step.

Happy Valentines Day:

Three weeks after Heero was diagnosed with a light head trauma as well as suffering from Ornithosis, he finished his treatment and was cleared. He could feel that both his temper and mood in general was lifted several knotches, his appetite was back and the normal fluttering he felt when he was with Duo was back.

Everything was back to normal.

Wufei had let him go with only a little fussing and a threat with bodily harm if Heero ever hurt Duo or kept something like this from them again. Duo has also made him promise that the next time something about his father, or anything at all bothered him, Heero would come to him so they could talk about it and find a solution; lack of comunication was only one thing that could destroy their relationship. Heero didn't want to think about other things that could threathen their relationship, he would deal with it if it ever crossed their path.

By the time february came rolling around, Duo's ankle was back to normal, Heero was tested negative for Ornithosis and any head trauma was healed. He was also back in the "Fallen Angel's" good book, but Hilde still sent him a few sour looks every now and then.

The school had completely forgotten about Heero and Duo's little fight as soon as they came back hand in hand, but both teens could see that Relena was less than happy that the two of them were back together. Heero finally dared to go back into the cafeteria now when he didn't get strange looks send his way; it was not the looks in general that bothered him, it was the thought behind them that ticked him off.

Greeting the members from the "Fallen Angels" as he entered the cafeteria, Heero placed himself next to Duo and placed a little kiss on the braided teens lips. "Hi, Duo."

"Hi, babe," Duo grinned back before turning his attention back to Quatre and the topic of today's lunch. "So... What were you saying about that party, Q?"

Quatre snorted while eating on a turkey sandwich. "Well, the school's given the party comity the thumbs down for a party here at the school, so some of the girls from my history class are planning to throw a Valentines party at someone's house."

Heero raised an eyebrow while putting down his own cheese and ham sandwich. "Let me guess... Dorothy and Relena are in the lead of that and the party will either be at Relena's place or Dorothy's?"

Quatre nodded. "You guessed it. I heard them planning the thing and only 'specialy invited' are allowed to join the party."

Heero groaned and took a deep glug from his coffee. "Guess who'll be invited..."

Duo chuckled and patted Heero's back. "Be strong, handsome. Remember, they can smell fear."

Heero snorted and gave Duo a little smirk before picking up his food again. "Well, I'm not worried. I have no plans on going to that party so if they want me there, they'll have to tie me up and give me a tranqulizer."

"Don't give them any idea's," Trowa dead panned before curling up the paper from his lunch and aimed for the trashcan, missing the hole by a mile. "You know that Relena hasn't given you up just yet."

"I am painfully aware of that," Heero grumbled and curled up the plastic cup after downing the rest of his coffee. "But she just has to get used to the idea that I am gay and taken. Besides, I don't date outside my species."

Duo chuckled and leaned over to place a kiss to Heero's lips, which was eagerly responded to by the Japanese teen. "Damn straight you are and damn straight you don't. And I'll be damned if I'm gonna back away from a girl that doesn't even know the differends between her ass and a hole in the ground."

"Intelectualy, I'd say you have the upper hand, Maxwell. But only just," Wufei quipped before ducking as Heero's empty cup was thrown in his direction. Grinning, Wufei picked up his own curled up napkin and tossed it towards Duo's head. "You toss like a girl, Maxwell."

Duo grabbed the napkin in the air before sticking his tongue out at the Chinese. "Thank you, Homo-wan kanobi."

Trowa quickly slapped his hand over his mouth and nose, just in time before he sent his coffee spurting all over the table. Banging his chest with the other as he snorted and coughed with uncontrolled snickers, Trowa was starting to turn a light blue as proper breathing was prevented by the coughs. Quatre quickly banged his back while handing his a napkin with his free hand while Duo started banging his fist into the table while laughing. Heero and Wufei couldn't help but snicker from the scene and only a glare from the blonde made the two Asian teens pull themselves together. Getting a smack over the head from Heero, Duo tried his best to control his own snickering while Trowa dried of his coffee soaked and sweater while Quatre cleaned away the coffee dripping from his chin.

"Yanno, Trowa," Duo snickered while drying away a tear from the corner of his eye. "I will never get your sence of humor, but damned if you don't crack me up anyway."

"I am glad I could entertain you today," Trowa dead panned while curling up the napkin and tossed it towards the braided teen. "But don't expect an encore."

"Pity," Duo quipped while folding his hands onto the table. "Sure you won't take up profession as a clown? Bet your sister can get you a deal."

"It's more likely that he'll scare the kids rather than entertain them," Wufei shot in while looking only mildly interested in the conversation.

"I'm surrounded by idiots," Trowa mumbled before he shrugged and smiled to himself. "But they mean well."

Raising an eyebrow, Duo lifted his hand from the table before resting his head on his knuckles. "It must be nice, thinking the way you do..."

Trowa gave a little smile and nodded. "It's very nice."

Duo just snorted before leaning back into his chair. "Now that this conversation is overwith, what about we make some plans? We haven't had a proper band rehearsal in ages."

Quatre nodded. "That's true. But I am ready when you are, so can't we have one this week-end or something?"

Wufei scratched the back of his head. "I don't know if I can. I'm suppose to take Nataku to the vet this week."

"That mut is still alive," Trowa asked while cleaning away his and Quatre's trash from the table.

Wufei frowned and crossed his arms. "It's not a mut, it's a pekingnese; and her name is Nataku! And yes, she is still alive. I am taking her to the vet to have her castrated."

"Ouch," Duo mumbled while pulling a face. "No mention of catrations in the precense of men, thank you very much."

"Good thing I am sitting with a bunch of panties then," Wufei shot back, only to have a curled up napkin hit him square between the eyes, curtesy of Heero's good aiming.

"Nobody is forcing you to stay," Heero quipped back as soon as Wufei regained his compostiture before he crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

"I was a member before you, so back off, Yuy," Wufei grumbled and crossed his arms as well while looking away from the Japanese teen.

Heero just smirked and shook his head.

Quatre chuckled and brushed some of his hair away from his eyes. "Okay, then we will have a rehearsal when you have had Nataku fixed. Just let us know and we will book an hour."

Wufei nodded. "Sounds like a plan."

Duo nodded before glancing at the clock over the cafeteria door and started to gather up his trash. "Well, gentlemen," he quipped while picking up his tray and winked. "It's been lovely chatting with you, but I have a study hour now."

Wufei snorted and started gathering up his own trash. "This I got to see. Maxwell, studying when he's acctually suppose too."

Duo just stuck his tongue out before walking over to Heero and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "I'll see you after school," he whispered and smiled softly.

Heero smiled back and nodded before whispering a soft "Hai" back to his boyfriend. Watching as Duo walked over to the trashcans and disposed of his tray with Wufei following him, Heero let a small smile play over his lips before returning his attention to his own tray. Raising an eyebrow as he caught Quatre and Trowa staring at him with amused smiles playing over their lips, Heero frowned before clearing his throath. "Can I help you guys?"

Trowa just shook his head and got onto his feet, still with the little smile playing on his lips. "No thank you, we're fine."

"Could have fooled me," Heero muttered while hoisting his bag onto his shoulder and started walking to the cans.

Trowa just chuckled and placed an arm around Quatre's shoulders. "Say, Heero. What are you and Duo doing on Valentines day? It's on Saturday, you know."

Heero shrugged and dumped his trash into the trash can before playing the tray on top of the rest. "I know that and as far as I know, we don't have any special plans. I'm not really fond of Valentines day; it's just a bunch of mumbo jumbo if you ask me. Pink hearts and frills everywhere and bright pink cards that claims to say what you're feeling to the one you give the card too."

Quatre chuckled and flashed Heero a sweet smile. "But it's a nice thought, Heero. Giving a little something to the one you love."

Heero raised an eyebrow and started to walk out of the cafeteria with Trowa and Quatre following him. "Maybe so, but why cram it all into one day? What about the rest of the days of the year?" Walking towards the biology-room, Heero shrugged before continuing. "That's why so many relationships go to hell if you ask me. People think that if you give your mate a gift on valentines day, they're free for the rest of the year. I don't want to sound cynical-"

"Too late for that," Trowa quipped, only to have Heero shoot a glare at him from over his shoulder. "Sorry."

Heero just grunted and stopped outside of his class-room. Leaning his back towards the wall, Heero crossed his arms and continued. "As I said, I don't mean to sound cynical, but there is only so much you can mash into one day. I'd rather save something for the rest of the year instead of just going crazy on Valentines Day." Closing his eyes for a second, Heero let his bag slide from his shoulder so he could rub his neck. "I don't mind the day and I will give Duo a little something, yes. All I'm saying is that I won't go bananas just because the stores tell me so, neither will I buy him something pink and fuzzy."

Quatre looked at Heero and blinked a little. "I thought Valentines Day was something big in Japan."

Heero snorted and raised an eyebrow while letting a little smile play on his lips. "Well, I'm not typical Japanese, Quatre. I may have Japanese parents, know the lanuage and spend almost every summer there with my grandparents, but I am not a typical Japanese. If I where, I don't think I would have you as my friends or Duo as my boyfriend. Being gay isn't exactly frown upon, but public display is. Besides, Valentines Day is more for the girls. They give chocolate to the guy they like, then later the guy she gave the chocolate to has to come with her shopping, and he has to pay. Of course, only if the Valentine is accepted. 1"

Trowa snorted and grinned. "Not exactly a win-win deal."

Heero smirked back and shrugged. "That's in the eye of the beholder. If the guy likes the girl, then I don't think he would mind so much."

Trowa just shrugged back and wrapped his arms around Quatre's waist. "I suppose..." he murmured before leaning down and started nibbling on the blond's neck. Quatre just giggled and squirmed, making Heero roll his eyes.

"Don't you have anything else to do, somewhere else to be?"

Trowa just grinned before moving Quatre to his side and winked. "We'll see you later."

Heero just waved before watching the tall Latino and the blond walk down the hall and around the corner. Sighing a little, Heero leaned against the wall and crossed his arms while waiting for class to start. More people had joined him in the hall, but Heero didn't really care. He didn't really have anthing to do with them so he didn't feel like he had to talk with them.

Watching as the teacher came down the hall, Heero bent down and picked up his bag before folowing the mass into the classroom. Sitting down onto his normal spot, Heero reached into his bag and fished up his notebook, only to hear something fluttering to the floor. Looking down, Heero spotted a white envelope on the floor, the back facing up. Leaning down, Heero grabbed and lifted it up before turning it around. His name was scribbled neatly on the front and Heero already had a hunch about what it was. Using his straightener to rip the envelope open, Heero dipped his fingers into it and fished out a bright, pink card.

Groaning a little, Heero quickly scanned the inside before stuffing the offending card back into the envelope. "Relena," he growled and stuffed the envelope into his bag before rubbing his temple. He really didn't want to deal with her again, he was starting to get sick and tired of getting passes from the girl. "Time to remove the gloves," he growled under his breath before looking up at the talking teacher and tried to focus on the class.

xoxoxoxoxoxox

"Relena!"

Turning around as she walked down the hall on her way out of the school building, Relena smiled as she watched Heero come running towards her, jacket in his hand and his bag over his shoulder. Stopping, Relena waited until the Japanese teen had reached her side and stopped. The teen wasn't even panting, he just stared at her with his jacket clenched in his hands.

Smiling, Relena closed her eyes and cocked her head to the side. "You wanted to see me, Heero?"

Heero nodded before letting his hand slipp into the bag and fished up a white envelope. Holding it up with two fingers, Heero mumbled under his breath while using his other hand to place the jacket over his bag. "I got your... Invitation."

"Ah, yes. My party." Relena smiled sweetly and clashed her hands together in front of her. "I hope you can come. It will be a great gathering, I am sure we'll have so much fun."

Heero just stared at the envelope before he took a hold on it with both hands and teared it up at the middle. Dropping the pieces to the floor, Heero watched as the torn up envelope fluttered away before looking straight into Relena's eyes. "Don't get your hopes up."

Relena gasped before tears started to pool in her eyes. Her hands dropped to her sides and she bit her lip. "But... But why?"

Heero just looked at her before turning away. "Do you really have to ask? Relena, I will tell you this one last time. I don't like you, I never had and if you keep that attidute of your up, I never will. Neither do I find you beautiful, I don't even think you are good looking. Third, I am gay and I am seeing somebody, namely Duo. I will never have an interest in you so you do well in forgetting me unless you want to keep getting hurt. It is time for you to learn that you cannot have everything you want."

Turning his head to stare at the girl in the pink dress, Heero growled. "Here is a tip from me to you; Drop that attidute and you might get yourself some real friends. As long as you keep it up, your so called friends will just keep on using you and you will never learn to value true friendship. Maybe then, guys will see you in a different light as well and you will be able to find somebody that loves you, not only lusting for you." Closing his eyes, Heero added softly. "Just like others are fooling you, you are fooling yourself. You think you like me, maybe even love me, but you only find my physical apperance attractive. You don't know a thing about me, we have nothing in common, nor have I ever treated you in a way that could have made you fall in love with me, unless getting your heart broken is a turn on for you. So here is another tip; get to know a person before claiming to love the induvidual."

Turning his head to face forward again, Heero added softly. "Have a nice Valentines Day." Then he started to walk away from the crying girl, hoping and praying that maybe, just maybe, she would understand, mature and maybe even change.

If not to get her own futures sake, then at least to get her off his case.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

The rest of the week passed without a hitch and when Friday rolled by, Heero got the urge to find his boyfriend a little something to show just how much he cared for him.

Grabbing Duo's hand as he walked out from his history class, Heero had decided that even though Valentines Day was stupid, showing his love and care for the braided boy was not. "Hey, Duo? You doing anything on saturday?"

Duo shook his head and shrugged. "Not that I know off, besides that band rehearsal. Why?"

Heero cleared his thraoth, suddenly feeling his mouth go a little dry. "I was just wondering... Saturday is Valentines day... I was just wondering if I could take you out..."

Duo smiled and let a little chuckle escape from the depths of his throath. "Heero, you're acting like you're asking me out for the first time. We've been dating, kissing and groping around for almost three months now, you should know my answer."

Heero chuckled and smiled sheepishly while releasing his grip around Duo's hand. "Well, you've got a point, but I guess I just hafta prove something for myself after that..." Trailing of, Heero looked at the ground while a blush crept over his cheek.

Duo chuckled again and Heero could feel a warm hand cover his cheek. "Heero... That fight we had, it's over... Forgiven, forgotten... Everybody's got a little fight every now and then, even Q and T, and to be honest, if you and I just walked around being peachy all the time, I would have ended our relationship a good time ago."

Giving Duo a questioning glance, Heero raised an eyebrow.

Duo chuckled again and wrapped his arms around Heero's neck. "Heero... You and I, we're two hotblooded, healthy and independent teenagers, at least as independent as we can get when we're eighten. We have different views on things, different believes. We are two individuals, but right now we're sharing one relationship." Using his thumb to stroke Heero at the back of his neck, Duo just smiled while feeling Heero's own arms slide around his waist. Placing a little kiss to Heero's nose, Duo continued. "I care for you, Heero. You are my best friend and my boyfriend, and I dare say that you're one of the most important persons in my life. But you've got a thick skull, just like me and a heated battle every now and then will happen. But I think it's better that we air out what we're feeling instead of keeping it bottled inside. You following my lead?"

Heero nodded and lowered his face to bury it in Duo's neck. "I get it. It's just... You mean so much to me... I don't want to fight with you... Ever..."

Smiling, Duo used a hand to stroke through Heero's soft hair while murmuring. "I know... I don't wanna fight with you either... But it will happen..."

Nodding into Duo's neck, Heero sighed a little. "I know... And I would like to apologie in advance for every stupid thing I'll say and do in the nearer future..."

Chuckling, Duo swatted Heero over the head while ignoring the snickering that came from his neck. "Apology accepted," he grimaced before breaking their embrace and placed another little kiss on Heero's nose. "Now, I've got some chores at home that I need to take care of. I'll see ya tonight?"

Grinning, Heero nodded before murmuring. "I'll have dinner ready, but you can't stay the night. Dad comes home before midnight."

Grimacing again, Duo gave Heero's arm a little squeeze. "You've got to tell him soon."

"I know, I know," Heero groaned before he let his lips curl into a little smirk. "But do you honestly think that he'll let you stay the night if he knew you were my boyfriend, given the fact that he doesn't accept homosexuality at all?"

Duo chuckled and grinned. "To be honest, I don't think your dad or your mum would let me share you bed for an entire night even if both of them accepted it."

Heero chuckled and gave Duo a little smile. "They'll be guarding my virtue until I'm over thirthy and married."

Grinning a little bit, Duo ran a finger down over his boyfriends arm and turned on his innocent eyes. "So does that mean I don't get to tut your horn?"

Heero laughed and grinned back, but he couldn't ignore the quick pace his heart was now beating in. "Well, we do have a band practice soon..."

Duo laughed and nudged Heero's arm while grinning. "Heero, you're getting a sense of humor. I think I like it."

Heero just laughed and punched his boyfriend's arm.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

"So you and dad both have the late night-shift?" Heero stared at his mother over the rim of his coffee mug while using a fork to poke around on a plate with scrambled eggs.

Mrs. Yuy nodded and put the paper she had been reading down onto the table along with her coffee mug. "Hai. Your father was asked if he could take the night-shift instead of the evening and I was suppose to work tonight in the first place."

"So in other words, you won't be home before tomorrow morning?"

Mrs. Yuy nodded again. "Hai." Raising an eyebrow over the smug look that suddenly appeared on her son's face, she cleared her throath and fixed her eyes on Heero. "So... Do you have any plans for tonight?"

Heero just shrugged and smiled while taking a sip from his mug. "Not much, okasan. I'm taking Duo out for dinner later tonight. Thought I could do something for him since it's Valentines day."

Mrs. Yuy smiled and nodded. "Well, that's nice off you, Heero." folding her hands onto the table, Mrs. Yuy kept her eyes on her son while studying his features. "But that look on your face tells me that you have something else planned."

Heero couldn't help but blush a little, but kept his face up and simply ate some of his breakfast instead. "Other than dinner and a movie back here, I don't have anything else planned."

Mrs. Yuy just smirked and returned her gaze to the paper. "Do I need to leave a pack with condoms behind?"

Laughter filled the room as Heero suddenly started to splutter and cough while banging his chest. "I was just teasing you, Heero. Take it easy."

Heero gave his mother a glare while stroking a hand over his throath and tried his best to get his breathing back under control. "Okasan... You are possitively evil sometimes. Aunt Ran hasn't done you any good."

Mrs. Yuy laughed and picked up her coffee mug. "You know you like your auntie Ran, Heero."

"Auntie Ran is nuttier than a valnut," Heero replied dryly while placing his mug onto the table. Running a hand through his messy bangs, Heero stiffled a little yawn before fixing his blue eyes back on his mother. "Since you and otasan work late night-shift tonight, can I borrow the car?"

Mrs. Yuy thought about it for a moment before nodding. "You can take my car, I can catch a ride with your father. Just be careful."

"You know I am," Heero replied with a little smile before getting onto his feet. Tugging his sweatpants a little futher up over his hips, Heero scratched his shoulder while passing his father by the kitchen door. Ignoring the look he knew his father was sending him, he disappeared up the stairs and into the bathroom for a shower.

Mr. Yuy sighed and removed the mug Heero had left on the table. "Mishka, have you noticed something different lately?"

Raising an eyebrow, Mrs. Yuy put up her best innocent face while shaking his head. "No, not really. Why?"

"It's Heero," Mr. Yuy mumbled while sitting down acros the table from his wife. "I think he's changed."

"Well, if you think smiling more often as something different, then I would say that it's a happy difference," Mrs. Yuy replied while taking a sip off tea from her cup.

Mr. Yuy grunted and stole the sport section of the paper. "I'd say he has become more rude and disrespectful."

"He is growing up, Hisoka," Mrs. Yuy replied and looked at her husband. "It's normal for a teen to rebel a little. He is just trying to find himself and where he is standing in life."

"He is hiding something," Mr. Yuy mumbled and ignored the rolling of eyes from his wife. "He has become more distant, he is snappy and he is hiding something." Clenching his hand so the paper pages started to crumble, Mr. Yuy tried his best to look nochalante.

Mrs. Yuy sighed and rubbed her temples. "Hisoka, don't start. I know who you are thinking about and who's to blame for a change that you have no control over."

"I told him those faggots where bad for him," Mr. Yuy grunted and fixed his wife a look.

Mrs. Yuy fixed him a look back and replied softly. "Hisoka, have you ever thought about that what Duo and his friends has done is a good thing for Heero? He has good friends now, for the first time in his life since Odin died and he acctually have fun."

"Don't bring Odin into this! He has nothing to do with this," Mr. Yuy growled, but Mrs. Yuy didn't flinch.

"Don't give me that, Hisoka," she growled back and frowed. "You're just afraid that Heero's going to turn into a homosexual just because he has gay friends. But guess what, doctor Yuy, people don't turn gay over the night. They are since from the day they evolve in the womb and there isn't a thing you, or any other doctor or priest can do about it to make it go away." Raising herself from her chair, Mrs. Yuy grabbed the dirty dishes and carried them to the sink. "And just so you know," she started while filling the dishwasher. "I don't know what's going on in Heero's life right now, but no matter what it is, he is still my son and I love him. His happiness comes first. Try and think about that instead of your own needs."

Then she left the kitchen, unaware that the seed of disbelief that had been planted in Mr. Yuy's mind was starting to grow into certainty and annoyance.

Pulling the car to a stop beside of the porch leading to the orphanage, Heero got out of the car before pulling down his green jersey and stroking the folds of his black jeans. Looking at the white building in front of his, Heero opened the gate and walked towards the door. A young boy, barely in his teens, sat on the stairs leading up to the door, holding a lit sigarette between his fingers. Heero nodded to him in a silent greeting and ignored the grunt he got in return.

Knocking on the door, Heero waited for it to be opened while stuffing his hands into his pocket. It wasn't cold, but there was a cool wind blowing over the area, making it a little chilly.

Turning as the door opened, Heero smiled and lifted a hand in a greeting. "Hi, Helen."

Helen smiled and opened the door completely. "Heero. So nice to see you again. Duo will be out in a minute, he's just tucking some of the children in for the night."

Heero nodded and walked into the building while watching the teen from the corner of his eye. The sigarette has magically disappeared and the sour look had been replaced with a little smile.

Helen nodded to the teen and smiled. "Lovely evening, right Tom?"

"Yes, ma'am," Tom replied and fixed his gaze to the sky.

Helen chuckled and closed the door after Heero before letting out a sigh. "I wonder how long he's gonna keep hiding it. Everybody is fully aware that he smokes."

Heero looked at the closed door and shrugged. "I suppose he thinks it's one of the things he has control off."

"Too bad that nobody that smokes knows that the sigarette is the thing that has control, not the other way around."

Heero nodded. "Agreed. But it is their lifes and their buisness."

Helen nodded before gesturing her hand towards the couch. "Have a seat, Heero and I'll let Duo know that you're here. Knowing him, the kids has probably talked him in to reading a story or two."

Heero chuckled and nodded while watching Helen disappear down the hall that lead to the childrens room before sitting down on the couch.

Folding his hands over his chest, Heero watched the childrens program on the television-set in front of him with small interest; he was much more interested in the laughing from the children.

Three boys and a girl was seated in front of the screen, laughing and pointing at the brightly colored cartoon with great interest. Heero couldn't help but smile. The merry mood was contageous.

Feeling a pair off warm hands covering his eyes, a soft and slightly husky voice whispered gently into his air. "Missed me?"

Heero couldn't help but shiver as the warm air from the mouth trailed over his ear and neck. Lifting his hands up to grasp over the hands over his eyes, he gave them a little squeeze before whispering back. "Always..."

Duo smiled and gave Heero's ear a little nip before removing his hands from his eyes.

Heero got up from his seat and couldn't help but oogle over Duo's body as soon as his eyes landed upon him.

His hair was loose, only gathered together by a black silky-looking bond into a ponytail. A black button up shirt clung to Duo's torso, showing off his slim waist and lean frame. His pants were slightly loose, but fitted Duo perfectly over the buttocks, showing off every soft curve. His leather jacket was clenched in Duo's fist and his feet where already shoed. Heero tried his best not too drool. Swallowing a little, Heero lifted a hand and gestured towards the outfit. "You look lovely."

Duo smiled softly and leaned over to give Heero a kiss on the cheek. "You're not so bad yourself, Yuy," he whispered hoarsly into Heero's ear before letting his tongue dart out and giving his a little lick over the ear before pulling back.

Heero groaned softly before taking Duo's hand in his, ignoring the giggles and snickers from the children in the room. Looking at the hall as both Helen and father Maxwell appeared, he smiled and nodded. "He'll be home before midnight."

Father Maxwell shook his head and smiled. "No no. You kids have fun and don't worry about the curview. I am sure that Duo will be in good hands."

Nudging his elbow into Duo's side as the braided boy started snickering, Heero nodded again and smiled. "You can trust me, Father."

"I know I can," father Maxwell agreed softly before nodding and walked back to his office.

Helen just smiled and waved as the two teens walked out of the front door before looking at the four kids in front of the tv. "Alright, that's quite enough. You've been glued to that screen all day. Either pick up a book to read or you can do tonights dishes." The kids looked at each other before turning the tv off and almost ran to the bookshelfs.

Outside, Duo slipped on his leather jacket before yanking Tom's sigarette out of his mouth and crushed it against the concrete by the door. Ignoring Tom's glare, Duo took Heero's hand in his and quipped. "If you want to fill your lungs with smoke, go stick your head under the hood of a barbeque. Those things are death in a stick, Tom."

Tom just grunted before whipping out his pack and looked at it.

Heero just looked at the young man before leading Duo towards the car, but he couldn't help but smile when he heard the faint sound of something landing on the ground, footsteps and a door opening and closing.

Looking over at his boyfriend, Heero could see the pleased smile that graced Duo's own lips and the softness in his eyes. "He'll learn," he whispered while hugging Duo close.

Duo nodded and wrapped an arm around Heero's waist while walking towards the car. "So, hotstuff? Care to tell me where you're taking me?"

Heero just smirked and used his free hand to open the passenger door. "Well, I can take you right here on the hood of the car, but I thought I could start with dinner first.

Duo's mouth dropped for a second before he regained his composture and closed his mouth. "Hardy-har-har. Very funny, Heero. Never though that you could be a horn ball."

"You'd be suprised," Heero quipped before giving Duo's back a little push.

Duo chuckled while sitting into the car and watched as Heero walked around the car and sat down into the drivers seat.

"Oh, I'm not so sure," Duo teased while Heero started the car and ran a light hand over Heero's thigh, making the Japanese teen let out a little moan. "But on a more serious note, where are we going? Don't you dare taking me anywhere fancy."

Heero chuckled and gave Duo a loving smile. "I asked you out so I will take you to dine wherever I see it fit. You will eat excatly what you want and I will pay for it."

Duo sighed and reached up his hands to rest them behind his head after buckling up. "But I don't like being spoiled and you know it."

"I know," Heero replied while backing out of the driveway and onto the street before starting to drive towards the city. "But as you boyfriend, I am allowed to treat you to a dinner every once in a while." Looking at Duo with soft eyes, Heero added softly. "I know you don't like being treated to stuff, to be spoiled or have people buy you things since you don't have the funds to buy it yourself. But I am not after mocking your finacial situation or anything else, I just want to treat you to something special, to show you just how much I care for you."

Giving Duo's thigh a quick pat before grabbing the gear stick, Heero smiled. "Please let me do this for you. You can treat us for some dessert if you want to, but allow me to treat you this dinner. It's Valentines Day and I want to do this for you." 'Because I love you,' Heero added mentally while gripping the steering wheel a little tighter while trying his best to fight off the blush that threathened to cover his face. He wasn't ready to say those words quite yet.

Duo smiled back and gently covered the hand on the stick with his own, giving it a little squeeze. "Okay... I will allow myself to be spoiled for tonight..." Swallowing a little, Duo added softly under his breath. "Heero... Thank you..."

Heero smiled back and let his thumb slide gently over Duo's fingers. "Don't mention it..."

xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Laughing as Heero opened the door and helped him out off the car, Duo grinned and wrapped his arms around Heero's waits. "Oh, Heero, I had such a good time! Who knew you could be such a funny date."

Heero snorted and leaned over to brush his lips over Duo's ear. "I am everything you want me to be..."

Ignoring the purr of delight from the braided teen, Heero let his lips brush from Duo's ear, over his cheek and to his lips before whispering. "Can I tempt you with a movie or should I take you home?"

Duo smled seducivly and brushed his own lips over Heero's. "I'd like to stay for a movie, thank you..."

"Good," Heero growled teasingly back before smirking and wrapped an arm around Duo's waist. Leading his boyfriend to the front door, Heero unlocked the door and bowed slightly. "After you."

Duo snorted and patted Heero's head as he passed before bending down to slip off his shoes. "Okay, no need to go all gentleman on me. In case you haven't noticed, I am not female and I'm not gonna fall for a cheap and old trick like that."

Heero snickered slightly and moved so he was standing behind Duo before wrapping his arms around the still bendt over teen's waist and pulled him close to his body, making Duo yelp and jerk up. "I know you're not female," Heero purred into Duo's ear before giving it a little tug with his teeth. "And do believe me when I say that I have no desire to use a cheap or old trick in order for me to get into your pants."

Duo snickered and turned his head so he could see Heero's face while placing his hands over Heero's own arms. "Oh, I know that you're smart enough to use but only new tricks on me so you can get into my pants."

"Well, if you insist on me getting into your pants, then I can always steal them in the morning and try them on, although I think they'll be a darn snug fit," Heero quipped back before leaning over and sealing his mouth with Duo's before the braided teen could respond. Closing his eyes as he kissed Duo deeply, Heero let his hand trail from Duo's waist, up his arm and over his shoulder before letting his fingers curl around at the nape of Duo's neck and into the soft hair. He could hear Duo moan slightly into the kiss, he could smell a faint hint of the chop suey and dumplings that Duo had ordered at the restaurant, he could feel Duo's own hand crasp onto his shoulder and as he slipped his tongue into Duo's mouth, he could taste the sweet and sour sauce as well as the beef from Duo's meal.

Moaning a little himself, Heero broke the kiss with one last dip from his tongue before pulling away. Duo's pupils were dialeted, his face was flushed and he was panting, but his face was covered in the biggest smile Heero had ever seen. Swallowing in an attemt to kill both his sudden nervousity and his rage of hormones, Heero removes his hand from Duo's neck and smiled. "Shall we?"

Duo smiled and nodded before walking into the main hall while Heero bent down to remove his own shoes. Sending his boyfriend into the living room to pick out a movie or find something half-way decent to watch, Heero walking into the kitchen to fetch them something to drink. Knowing that his father usually did not keep anything alcoholic in the kitchen, Heero knew that he had a little stash of it down in the basement. Arguing with himself for a moment, Heero decided that it wasn't worth the risk and plucked two ginger ale from the refrigderator instead. He wanted to be sober anyway, even though it would take more than one beer to make him drunk.

Returning to the living room, Heero handed Duo the ale before dumping down next to him on the couch. "What did you find," he asked while screwing the cork off the bottle and took a swig.

"I dunno," Duo replied while doing the same to his ale. "Some kind of comedy, but I'm not really sure what's going on yet. Think we're in the middle of it or something."

Heero nodded and moved his leg to cross it over his tight while leaning back onto the couch. Placing an arm over Duo's shoulder, Heero took another swig of his ale while watching the movie with only half an interest.

Duo leaned against Heero while watching the movie with a little more entusiasm, enjoying the feeling of his boyfriend's arm around his shoulder. Heero's thumb would move sometimes, stroking him at the back of the neck and making him shiver, but he wasn't about to complain. After a little while, Duo let out a little sigh and purred. "Feels nice..."

"Hmm?" Looking down at Duo, Heero raised an eyebrow at his boyfriend.

Smiling, Duo closed his eyes while letting his hand move from his lap to Heero's thigh, stroking it gently. "You stroking my neck... Feels nice..."

Heero let out a purr off his own as Duo started stroking his thigh and murmured with a slightly strained voice. "I am glad..."

Duo chuckled a little before letting out another happy, little purr. Closing his eyes while enjoying the gentle caress from his boyfriend, Duo could feel how his stomach started to flutter. Something in the way they were acting, something in the mood was different from all their other movie-night and Duo did not know if he was feeling exited or scared.

Heero continued to stroke the nape of Duo's neck softly, enjoying the feeling of warm skin underneat his fingertips. Sucking in an lungful of air, Heero let his hand glide softly from Duo's neck to his shoulder, squeezing it softly before letting it trail down Duo's arm. Swallowing heavily, Heero let his hand cover Duo's and squeezed it before twining their fingers together while pretending to watch the movie.

Duo's own hand was still stroking over his thigh, making his shiver and his stomach leap with exitement. He could feel that his groin was heating up, the flesh was pressing against the demin of his pants, and he couldn't help but blush over the fact that a simple caress as a hand on his thigh could make him aroused.

Removing his hand from Duo's, he let it glide up over Duo's side in slow, gentle movements. He could hear that Duo's breath had quickened and the hand on his thigh was squeezing a little harder than before. Feeling a little more pleased with himself, he let the hand glide back down to Duo's hip before gently tugging some of the hem of Duo's shirt up from Duo's pants. Not hearing any objections from his boyfriend, Heero let his hand slip under the shirt so he could feel the warm flesh underneat before slowly stroking up Duo's sides again. He could feel Duo shiver again and Heero tried his best not to leap with joy.

Turning his head to look at Heero, Duo gently let his tongue snake out between suddenly dry lips and tried his best to wet them. Whispering Heero's name in a slightly hoarse voice, Duo tried his best to hold eye-concact with the Japanese teen. Leaning up a little, Duo pressed his lips to Heero's, kissing him softly while shifting a little on the couch.

He could feel Heero's hand curl around his waist underneat the shirt while the other hand found it's way to his thigh while they kissed, and Duo let his own hand slide up to Heero's neck so he could deepen the kiss. His other hand remained on Heero's thigh, squeezing and sliding it up and down as they kissed. He could hear Heero groan deeply down in his throath and before he could blink, Heero hand both his hands on his ass and was tugging him onto his lap.

Duo groaned as Heero's tongue slipped between his lips while his hands squeezed and caressed his hands, and he let his own hands tangle them in Heero's thick hair, pulling the Japanese closer to his body. Duo could feel Heero's half-hard erection press up against his own, making him both flush and moan in exitement.

Letting his tongue battle against Duo's, Heero tried his best to pull Duo's body as tightly as he could to his body. Duo's ass in his hands felt wonderful and he really had to strain himself so he would not just toss Duo onto the couch and rip their clothes off.

Feeling the lack off air burn in his lungs after a while without breathing, Heero pulled back from the kiss and panted heavily against Duo's lips. Duo continued to press his lips lightly and teasingly to Heero's kisswollen lips before pulling back enough so he could see Heero in the eyes. "Heero," he whispered hoarsly while removing a strain of hair from Heero's face. "Heero..."

Heero did not let Duo say anything else, he simply captured Duo's kisswolled lips in another heated kiss, letting his tongue slide in between Duo's lips and teeth to battle with the wet muscle's inside that wet cavern. He could hear Duo moan as he captured the tongue between his teeth and sucked on it for a few seconds before letting it go so it could dive into his own mouth.

Moaning loudly while letting his hands rub and squeeze Duo's ass, Heero couldn't remember the last time he had felt this exited. He wanted Duo and he wanted him now.

Breaking off the kiss with a little growl, Heero panted and stared at Duo's slightly flushed face.

Duo stared back down at him, not saying a word and his breath coming out is short, hard puffs against his lips.

Heero swallowed heavily and released his grip on Duo's ass, only to have Duo's hand cover his and move them to his hips. Looking deeply into Duo's Cobalt blue eyes, Heero could see the lust and exitment dance around there and he could help the groan that escaped from his throath.

Duo licked his lips again before moving his face to Heero's ear, hands still making sure that Heero's own hands was gripping his hips. "I think we need to take this upstairs..."

Author's Notes: 1 I read this somewhere in a magazine here in Norway (manga and Japan has started to become insanely huge here now), but since the magazines here has printed a lot of mistakes before, I am not sure how trust-worthy it is. Gimme a jingle if I am way off.

Okay, I have never, I repeat NEVER, written any kind of foreplay, lime, lemon or even a hot kissing scene before so I hope I did okay. If not... Well, practice makes perfect.

Do also forgive my for any (most likely) spelling mistakes and the likes in this chapter. My beta (god have mercy upon her soul) has become really busy lately with school (good girl) so in order to give her some slack, I'm gonna search for another beta. Anyone interested in the job?
