That's right. I'm evil. I'm real, REAL evil. snickers This was based on the experience a friend of mine had. She and her boyfriend had just finished the act and were snuggling up in the bed when her parents came home. What happens to Heero and Duo now is about the same that happened to her and her boyfriend. Enjoy!

----

"A Dream:"

"I- ... Did you hear that?"

Blinking a little, Duo sat up and started listening. He did not hear anything and looked down at Heero to tell him that when he suddenly heard the jingling from keys. Feeling his eyes widen and his fists tighten into fists, Duo stared down at Heero. "Heero, is that-?"

Heero nodded and tightened his own grip on Duo's hips. "Yeah. My parents are home."

Duo let out a sound that could best be described as a duck before sitting up on the bed. "Shit! What are we gonna do?! I dunno about you, but I don't wanna come out to your parents like this!"

"And you think I do," Heero snapped back while trying his best to locate his boxers on the floor. Handing Duo's boxers to the braided teen, Heero growled while listening to the front door open. "Get your boxers on, now!"

Duo did as he was told, but still couldn't help the mix of panic and annoyance that came over his face. "And just what do you have in mind, oh bright one?!"

Yanking a t-shirt over his head, Heero kicked his quilt down onto the floor while trying to sit up straight. "Just trust me, okay? Just sit up straight, shut up and do as I say!"

Hanging up his jacket on its usual spot in the hall, Mr. Yuy ran a hand through his hair and sighed. His back was aching and all he wanted to do was goto bed. His wife wouldn't be home before an other hour.

Kicking off his shoes before bending down to put them at their usual spot, Mr. Yuy blinked when his eyes caught something that didn't belong in the house. A pair of black and well-used shoes.

Looking up, Mr. Yuy noticed that a leather jacket was hanging next to Heero's own blue jacket and if he listened carefully, he could hear noise from the living room. Stepping into the hall, Mr. Yuy cast a glance towards the living room, finding that the TV was on, but nobody was watching. Locating the remote under a pillow on the couch, Mr. Yuy turned the TV off before straining his ears to find any other sounds in the house.

Stepping quietly back into the main hall, Mr. Yuy put a hand on the staircase while listening, keeping his breath to make sure that nothing else was blocking out any potential sounds. He could hear shuffling up-stairs as well as muttered voices. Mr. Yuy frowned and slowly started to walk up the stairs while trying his best to hear what was being said.

Stopping on the top-step, Mr. Yuy placed a hand on the wall while continuing to listen. The voices were louder now, but not any clearer. Sometimes he would hear laughing. Frowning even harder, Mr. Yuy hurried down the hall until he was located right in front off Heero's bedroom door. Placing his hand on the doorknob, Mr. Yuy tried to hear what was going on in his son's room.

Rich laughter continued to fill his ears and he could swear that he heard that braided fag's hoarse voice in there. 'It's way past midnight,' Mr. Yuy thought to himself while tightening his grip on the knob. 'What the hell is he doing in my son's room at this hour?! Unless-!'

Unable to contain both his rage and his curiosity, Mr. Yuy roughly opened the door and glared into the room. But what he saw wasn't what he was expecting to find.

"Oh, hi Mr. Yuy! Didn't hear ya there."

"Otasan."

On his son's bed were Heero and the braided teen, both with a set of cards in their hands and both dressed for the night. Duo was wearing a pair of black boxers and what seemed to be one off Heero's old t-shirts from the kick boxing team he was part of in San Francisco. The long hair was loose and a few strains of hair were tossed over Duo's shoulder. Heero was dressed in a plain white shirt and a pair of blue sweatpants.

Duo just smiled and waved while holding his cards out of Heero's sight. "Just having' a midnight game before we jump to bed."

Heero nodded while picking on the edge of one of the cards. "Hai... We didn't mean to be up so late, but we got carried away. Duo will be quiet when he goes to bed."

Duo nodded and tried to smile even wider while still looking innocent. It was tickling his ears now.

Mr. Yuy just nodded dumbly while narrowing his eyes. "H-hai... Okay... Just... Just be quiet and... Hai..."

"Can do, sir," Duo chirped merrily before looking at Heero. "Have any fours?"

Heero shook his head. "Go fish." Giving his father a slightly cold glare, he mumbled quietly. "Oyasumi, otasan."

"Hai... Oyasumi, Heero," Mr. Yuy mumbled back before closing the door.

Heero continued to listen until he could hear his father's footsteps disappear down the hall and a door open. Letting out a breath he did not realize he had been holding, Heero let the cards in his hand drop onto the bed. "He's gone..."

Duo let out a loud sigh as well before falling backwards on the bed with a hand over his eyes. "Holy shit, man. That's the scariest shit I've ever experienced and I've been caught smoking by Helen when I was twelve."

Heero snorted and gave his lover a look. "You've been smoking?"

Duo snorted back and pulled a face at Heero. "Once, when I was twelve. She made me finish the whole cigarette while yelling into my ear how bad it was for my health and how stupid I was acting." Letting out another sigh, Duo added quietly. "Never understood what the big deal is about smokin'. Tastes like crap and it's bad for you. Why do it?"

Heero shrugged before clawing over to the foot end off the bed and laid down next to his lover. Placing an arm over Duo's stomach, Heero pulled him close before nuzzling his neck. "People have different reasons, I guess..."

Duo snorted before turning his head to give Heero a sleepy look. Smiling softly, Duo reached out a hand to cup Heero's cheek. "I guess..."

Heero only smiled back before pulling a face and sitting up, tugging at the hem of his pajamas. Sitting up with him, Duo gave his lover a curious look. "What is it?"

Heero only grimaced before sticking his hand down into his pants. "I'm still wearing the god damned condom."

"Heero! Duo! I'm so glad you could make it!"

Waving from his spot behind the keyboard, Quatre flashed the two teens a broad grin before resuming to his previous task of locating the right wires to the keyboard and have them fastened. "Please, have a seat. We're almost ready."

Duo just nodded before dumping down onto a seat. Letting out a little yelp of discomfort, Duo pulled a face and started to rub his lower back. Heero placed himself carefully next to him and gently took over the task while looking around in the room. "Where is Wufei?"

Trowa handed Quatre a wire before quietly replying. "He's running a little late. Apparently the mutt ran into some complications during the surgery. Nothing serious according to Wufei, but enough to slow him down."

Duo snorted while leaning against Heero's hand. "Wufei can say what he want about that dog, but we all know that he's completely in love with that fur ball."

Trowa just snorted and turned his head so his face became covered by his bangs. "I don't get it. That dog's about as friendly as a scorpion."

"Suits Wufei down to a tee, wouldn't you say," Duo snickered back before swatting Heero's hand away as his fingers started to tease Duo at the small of his back.

"Now, now, behave, both of you," Quatre scolded before switching on the keyboard, making a happy sound when the little light started to glow.

Duo snorted again before leaning back against the chair with his hands behind his head. "Any words from Hilde then? She called me, but I was out of funds on my cell so I couldn't call her back."

"I figured as much," Quatre replied while playing a little tune on the keyboard. "She called me last night and told me that you didn't answer the phone. She figured you were busy since it was Valentine'sDay and all." Grinning a little, Quatre winked to Duo while turning up the volume on the keyboard. "At least that's what Heero told me when I asked."

Heero snorted and shot Quatre a mild glare. "I only told you that I was planning to take Duo out for dinner."

Duo nodded while grinning smugly. "I got both dinner AND dessert!"

Heero snorted before clasping his hand in front of mouth in a desperate attempt to seize his laughter. Getting his snickers at bay, Heero cleared his throat and gave his lover a smug look. Quatre just raised his eyebrow while giving the two teens an odd look. "What's so funny?"

Heero only shook his head and flashed Quatre a grin. "Nothing, Quatre. Just something that happened during... Dessert yesterday. It's a thing you would not get unless you where there."

"Yeah, but I wouldn't have been willing to share," Duo snickered while trying his best not to double over from laughing.

Quatre just gave them a weird stare before going back to the keyboard. Trowa just shook his head before fishing his phone up from his pocket. "I'll call Wufei and see where he is."

"Can ya give Hilde a jingle too," Duo asked before the door to the music room flung open and Hilde waltzed into the room.

"Nothing to fear, the babe's 'ere," she chirped merrily before bouncing down onto Heero's lap and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Heero raised his eyebrow before moving the energetic girl away from his lap. "You're in a good mood today."

"Ain't I always," Hilde winked back before slipping off her jacket.

"Well, if we call you before ten on a weekend, you're not always so merry," Duo quipped back while grinning, only to get Hilde's jacket flung at his face. Laughing, Duo handed the jacket to Quatre who hung it up over another chair in the room. Trowa just slowly slipped out of the room, muttering something about calling Wufei.

Pressing a quick kiss onto Heero's cheek before getting up from his seat, Duo walked over to the guitars and picked up his favourite. "Oi, Heero. Get over here."

Raising an eyebrow, Heero got up and walked over to his lover. "What?"

Duo grinned and handed the guitar to Heero. "Since the Wuffster ain't here, we can might as well do something productive while we wait."

Heero snorted and held the guitar at an arms length from himself. "I don't think so."

"Well, I do," Duo quipped back and grabbed the belt. Fastening it over Heero's shoulder and around his waist, Duo patted his lovers butt before grinning. "There. All set."

Heero just shook his head and gently grasped the neck of the guitar in his hands. Positioning his fingers over the strings, Heero gave Duo a little look before brushing his thumb over the strings. "There. An A. I still remember."

Duo chuckled before moving behind Heero and placed his hands over Heero's. "Very good, young grasshopper. Now I'll teach you how to play a B."

Ignoring the snickering from the girl behind him, Heero watched Duo's fingers curl over the strings. Replacing the braided boy's fingers with his own, Heero brushed his thumb over the strings again, producing a different tone.

Duo grinned and pressed a kiss to Heero's neck. "Very good, Heero. Now you played a B."

Quatre chuckled and shook his head. "Duo, no need to give step-by-step instructions. Just sit down with another guitar and show him the grips like that. Just like you did with me."

Duo just grinned and wiggled his eyebrows at Heero who started to laugh. Quatre blinked. "What?"

Duo winked before leaning over and grabbed Heero's earlobe between his teeth. "Heero likes step-by-step instructions..."

"No, I don't," Heero groaned and tried his best not to jump the braided boy in front of his friends.

Quatre gave his friends a quizzical look before searching answers with Hilde. Hilde just shrugged and looked just as confused as he was.

After five minutes, Trowa popped his head into the room. "I'm gonna go and pick up Wufei. He's a little irritated 'cause his father doesn't want him to use the car." Looking at Quatre, Trowa scratched the back of his neck. "Umm... Quatre? Where are my car-keys?"

Duo started snorting while showing Heero how to play a D minor on a guitar of his own. Quatre ignored the snickering from the braided teen and picked up Trowa's jacket. Tossing it to his boyfriend, Quatre blew him a kiss before smiling. "Car keys are in your left pocket. Drive safe now."

Trowa smiled back and nodded. "I will," he replied softly before he closed his door.

"Don't forget your license," Duo yelled out while grinning, then started laughing as he heard the muttered "Shit!" from the other side of the door. Heero just shook his head.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

"So how does it feel to have robbed your dog from all the pleasure of the world," Duo asked while Heero put away the used guitars.

The normal band-rehearsal had been cancelled and the gang had used two hours to teach Heero how to play on the various instruments in the room. He now knew how to play the first verse of Puff the Magic Dragon' on guitar as well as 'Baa-Baa Black Sheep', while he was just about mastering 'Never Smile at a Crocodile'' on the piano. He didn't dare to try out the drums since it looked like Wufei was very attached to that particular instrument. "It's the only way he gets out his anger," Duo had explained before adding that after the rehearsals, the sticks went back up Wufei's ass were they belonged. That had earned Duo a death threat and a run around the house with an angry Wufei after him, while Heero remained in the music room, wondering why he was being taught children's songs instead of something proper.

When Wufei turned back up with Duo's head in a headlock, Duo had simply given his lover a kiss before telling him he had to go. Duo had simply nodded and wished him a good day before going back to squirming his way out of Wufei's grasp.

Ten minutes later, Trowa was driving Wufei back home while Duo and Hilde were walking back to the orphanage.

"So how's your art project coming along?"

Duo shrugged and kicked an empty soda bottle into the street. "Not so good. I'm fresh out of idea's."

"Wow, is that even possible," Hilde joked while nudging Duo's arm. Duo just grunted and shrugged, but a little smile was still tugging on his lips. Hilde smiled and entwined her arm with his. "So... What is the theme?"

"A dream," Duo replied and walking. "But I dunno what to draw or if it's supposed to be something we dream about or dream at night."

"Isn't it up to the person," Hilde asked while looking up at her friend.

Duo shrugged again. "I'm not sure. Noin told us to 'unleash' ourselves so I suppose we can draw just about everything we want as long as we have a proper explanation to go with the piece."

Hilde chuckled before studying Duo's face a little closer. "Duo... Is there something you're not telling me?"

Duo blinked and looked down at the shorter girl. "What do you mean?"

Hilde nudged his side before grinning. "Don't give me that, Duo! You're positively glowing! Something has happened, hasn't it?"

Duo blinked and stared at Hilde. "What are-?"

"I'm a girl," Hilde cut off, still grinning like a loon. "I know these things. So... Care to share?"

Duo smiled secretively for a while swinging his upper body a little from side to side while walking before grabbing Hilde's arm and whispered. "We did it last night!"

Hilde raised an eyebrow. "You mean..."

Duo beamed and stared Hilde straight in the eyes. "Me and Heero! We did it last night!"

Hilde let out a little squeal and grabbed Duo's biceps. "Are you serious?! You and Heero-! You guys did it?!"

Duo nodded and let his grin become even wider. "And we almost got caught doing it!"

Hilde laughed out loud before dragging Duo to a nearby bench and sat down, dragging Duo down to sit beside of her. Taking Duo's hand in hers, Hilde looked her ex-boyfriend straight in the eyes. "So tell me everything. Everything down to every last, little, dirty detail!"

Duo chuckled and smiled. "It was... God, it was amazing!"

Hilde grinned and winked. "Yeah?"

Duo nodded. "It was awkward, clumsy, a little messy, but absolutely perfect!"

Hilde snorted and poked Duo's ribs. "Well, by the sound of it you ain't picky."

"Oh, shut up," Duo grimaced before getting a dreamy expression on his face. "But it was great... Heero was so gentle and tender, he didn't rush anything, and he even asked if I wanted to be top or bottom. He was... He was completely opposite of Peter and... Gods, I can't even describe it!"

Hilde snickered and winked. "Well, by they way your walking lacked its usual grace, I'd say you were on the receiving end of things."

Duo blushed a little, but he still grinned. "Yeah... Heero was a virgin either way and since I already knew what to expect from being bottom, I thought I might as well be the one. Besides, now Heero won't worry about being bottom at a later date since he's seenfirst hand how I acted."

Hilde chuckled. "Good plan."

Duo chuckled before he folded his hands onto his lap and looked down onto the ground, still with a small, yet genuine and happy smile playing on his lips. "Do you know what he told me when we were done, Hilde?"

Hilde stopped smiling for a second, feeling a little worried. "What?" Duo's gaze never left the ground and Hilde thought she could see Duo's eyes moisten just a little. "Duo?"

Duo looked up at her, a few tears trailing down a pale cheek. "He told me he loved me."

"Oh, my god..." Hilde's hand found it's way up to her lips and she couldn't help but gasp.

Duo just smiled and dried away the tears. "He did. And I knew he was speaking the truth because... Well, because it was Heero and... And I thought that... I've never..." Letting a half-sob escape from his throat along with laughter, Duo rubbed his eyes before shaking his bangs away from his eyes, still smiling happily. "I told him I loved him back. Hilde, I've never felt this way about anybody before. Sure, I've had crushes, but this feels so serious, so right. It's like... I dunno. A dream, maybe." Chuckling a little, Duo murmured softly. "It's like he's the one. Mr. Right... The one for me."

Hilde smiled and covered Duo's hands with her own. "Oh, Duo... I'm so happy for you... I can't think off anybody that deserves this more than you do..."

Duo smiled back and released one of his hands so he could cover Hilde's own hand with it. "Thank you, Hilde... That means a lot to me..."

Hilde smiled and squeezed Duo's hand before her eyes lit up and she chirped happily. "Duo... These new feelings... What do they make you feel?"

Duo raised an eyebrow and stared at the girl in front of him like she's just grown an extra head. "Didn't I just share that with you?"

Hilde nodded, the smile still present on her face. "Yeah, you did. But do you think you can get those feelings onto a piece of paper?"

Duo shrugged. "I dunno. I haven't really thought about it, but if I tried, I may get something out of it. Why?"

Hilde just grinned. "I think we've just found your project."
