-An Hour Later.-
Duo: *walks into the room, wrapping the towel around his waist again as it keeps slipping, his feminine hips proving to be useless. Sighs and looks up, finding Heero still in bed* Heero!
Heero: *jerks in awareness, blanket wrapped around his waist and one hand tucked under the pillow while the other is settled on his chest. Stares wide-eyed before eyelids droop again and mumbles incoherently, scratching his chest.*
Duo: Get up, you lazy baka. *walks over and starts digging through the clothes on the bed*
Heero: Mitsukai, it's not nice to call people.. names...
Duo: *throws some pants at his head* You shouldn't call me that. Its not true. *grabs his stupid towel again grumbling and tries to put on his pants at the same time so save from flashing Heero*
Heero: *pulls the pants off his face and looks off again.* But what if I think it is? *stretches himself out then pulls the covers back and stands up from the warm bed. Sighs and slowly starts pulling his pants on.*
Duo: *blushes, looking away* I guess I can't argue with you on that.
Heero: Good. *fixes the pants then grabs a shirt and slips it on silently before walking around the bed, running his hands through his hair to try and tame the unruly mass.*
Duo: *sits down on the bed heavily* 'ey, 'ero, hand me a brush, will you?
Heero: *walks to the dresser and picks up a brush slowly, twirling it in his hand before holding it out for Duo as he fixes the collar of his shirt with his free hand.*
Duo: *takes it quietly and starts brushing his own unruly mass, yawning idly*
Heero: *crosses his arms silently, watching Duo again.*
Duo: Heero, do you remember dying?
Heero: ... I only remember pain.
Duo: *smiles sadly, looking off with a sad, dazed expression*
Heero: I didn't know my creations could be turned against me. *shrugs lightly then sits beside Duo and puts a hand on his knee.* Thank you, Duo.
Duo: You have...no idea how horrible it was to watch that.
Heero: I'm sorry for what I put you through...
Duo: Like you had a choice, Heero.
Heero: *stays silent and looks at the floor, retreating his hand again to the bed.*
Duo: Promise me one thing though?
Heero: Hm?
Duo: Never use those dragons again? *looks at him hopefully, wet bangs getting into his eyes*
Heero: *nods slightly.*
Duo: *smiles and hands him the brush* Now comb my hair.
Heero: *looks up at him in question from glancing at the brush.*
Duo: Come on. You have to learn how to do it sometime.
Heero: *looks at the brush again then hangs his head and climbs behind Duo to start to work on his long hair, concentrating on the task.*
Duo: So...Heero...If you were an animal, what would you be?
----------
Duo: *dances in-between busy peasants and moving merchants, head twisting around in search of the clothing area while talking excessively to his partner*
Heero: *follows him, silent and glances around him to avoid running into someone or something in the busy streets. Grunts lightly and shifts to Duo's other side.*
Duo: ....so then he kept yelling at me, like I knew what the hell was going on. He was-oh there's some clothes! *grabs Heero's arm and drags him among the crowds*
Heero: *stumbles a moment then moves closely to keep his balance. Dodges a man and walks behind Duo.* ...
Duo: *starts grabbing and looking at clothes, chatting nonstop with little 'oh this is nice/cute' or such nonsense in between sentences*
Heero: *stands there, watching Duo then slinks away to look at a book stand.*
Duo: *doesn't seem to notice, even starting to talk warmly to the strangers that come to look at the merchandise*
Heero: *picks up a thick book with a leather cover and flips it open, skimming the first few pages quickly then continues through the book, just picking up bits of the information on the pages curiously. Skims over the last book page then stops when there are hushed whispers in his head. Doesn't look up but feels the telepathy power to his right. Listens to the words of a man, instructions, before closing the book and sets it back down. Walks over to Duo again and watches him a moment before looking at the other shoppers.* I'll be right back, Duo.
Duo: Hmm? Where you going? I want you to see this shirt...*starts digging through the piles*
Heero: When I come back I'll try the shirt on, all right..?
Duo: Kay! Hurry back now!
Heero: *walks off silently, sliding through the crowd without any real obstacles. Finds himself at a little bar that's rather empty. Walks into it slowly and to a booth in the back of the bar, taking a seat across from a large man whose drinking a foaming glass of ale. "Hn"s lightly to get his full attention then sits silently for a couple minutes to listen to the man's offer of a one-time job.; "one-time" getting his cautious attention. Sits, pondering, then listens again when the man talks about the sum of money that would be received after fulfilling the job. Nods slightly and asks for the location before standing. Waits until the man's done speaking about how they would meet back at the same bar for his payment. Walks out of the bar again and stalks through the crowds back to the shopping Duo. Walks right up behind him.* Back.
Duo: *suddenly throws tons of clothes in his direction, beaming with lilac eyes bright* Try these on!
Heero: *groans.* Why can't we just buy them?
Duo: Well, we could do it the HARD way… *whining*
Heero: Hard way? *tangled in the mess, looking at the clothes skeptically.*
Duo: Of course. Get home, try the clothes on and find they don't fit! Then we have to chase down this merchant to get our money back! Really, Heero, where's your head?
Heero: ... I'm good at tracking. And if he decides that there's no money back I can "persuade" him..
Duo: 'ero, you'll never change. Okay then, gimme the money
Heero: How am I supposed to give it to you if my hands are full?
Duo: Oh...Well...I know! *starts shoving clothes over Heero's head and shoulders, getting down, and reaching for his belt, shuffling near the private areas*
Heero: *tries to stay still instead of moving his hips to help in fear that Duo's hands would accidentally brush in the wrong places. Rolls his eyes to the sky.*
Duo: Oi! *tugs at the little bag stuck to his belt and stands up a bit more, tugging roughly and drawing Heero closer* 'ey, 'ero! Stop moving!
Heero: *grunts.* You are the one moving me. *tries to step back.* It would help it you would untie the strings of the bag first and then pull it...
Duo: Ohh...But its in a knot! *gets down on the ground again, hands busy with the knot and arms twisting with his wrists (and brushing certain places)*
Heero: *keeps his eyes to the sky then shifts his hips.* Duo, watch it... *squeaks.*
Duo: Huh? What's the matter? *glances up at him before eyes going back to his work*
Heero: .. I have a new idea. You hold the clothes and I pay for them..?
Duo: But I almost got this undone! Why do you have to do things the hard way, 'ero?
Old Man: *grumbles and rolls his eyes* As if he can help it... *pays for his things before stumbling away*
Heero: *watches the man with widened eyes then shifts.* The more complicated it is, the simpler it seems to me. And I can't go tracking with a—
Duo: Tracking!? What you talkin' about, 'ero? *jerks him closer as he tugs at the rough string*
Heero: *grunts again, trying to pull away.* I had a job offer...
Duo: Did you take it? And stop moving, baka.
Heero: Hai, Mitsukai, I took the offer. *watches a woman walk by, mumbling about horny kids. Cheeks flush.*
Duo: *grumbles something himself and leans forward, taking the knot between his teeth and tugs with the twist of his head. A little bit away, a woman shrieks and covers her child's eyes*
Heero: *eyes widen then tosses the clothes to the merchant and grabs Duo's head, pulling it away from his body. Lifts him up by his arms gently, shaking his head, breathing heavily.* Enough, I don't work well tracking with.. heavy equipment. *sets him down again and works on the knot with nimble fingers.*
Duo: *stares at him, baffled* Heavy equipment...? What do you mean?
Heero: *glares as another young man jokes about it to himself.* Nothing, forget about it. *finally pulls the pouch from his belt and holds it up for Duo.*
Duo: *looks a little dumbfounded and lost but takes the money and turns around* So, how much will this cost?
Heero: *shifts his pants with his belt, swallowing thickly and then crosses his arms, trying to look casual.* Just give him all of it, we won't need it.
Duo: *mutely hands the money over and grabs the stacks of clothes with some difficultly, getting a little peeved about the whole mission Heero's going on*
Heero: *helps him by taking some of the clothes.* This isn't all for me, is it?
Duo: I got some of my own. But I'll end up just borrowing yours anyway.
Heero: ... That reminds me... I left my pack in a motel before going to fight. I had a shirt for you, like I said I would get. *walks through the crowd again with Duo.*
Duo: Really!? What motel was it?
Heero: The one in OZ. If I leave early tomorrow morning, make the hit quick; I think I can make it there and back here to pick up my payment right after nightfall.
Duo: *hangs his head a little bit* All right. But...You know Heero, you should think about a different job…
Heero: I'm not good at anything else.
Duo: You've never tried.
Heero: I like what I do.
Duo: ....Oh. I understand that then. I...Oh, Heero, would you get the door?
Heero: *holds the stack of clothes in one hand and opens the door with another, putting his foot in the way so it doesn't shut.*
Duo: *slips through, huffing, and hurries to the table to dump the stack of clothes before they fall*
Heero: *stands beside the table with his stack silently, looking around.*
Duo: Quatre! We're home! *waits for a moment but receives no reply* Mmm...
Heero: *glances around then walks toward the bedroom to dump the clothes.*
Duo: Looks like I'm going to be by my lonesome tonight...
Heero: *walking into the bedroom.* I told you I wasn't leaving until morning.
Duo: *scorn look* But your head is going to be busy with your tracking. I might as well be talking to a wall.
Heero: *drops the clothes off on the bed then walks back out.* I won't think about it... We can do what ever you want to...
Duo: Oh, no, no! Last time I distracted you, you nearly got killed. *crosses his arms, pouting*
Heero: I don't see any threats around unless you're setting me up. *walks to the table and looks at the clothes again.*
Duo: *lower lip goes out farther, glaring at the wall* Only setting you up so you stay.
Heero: *sits on the edge of the table. Cheeks flush when a hentai thought of a way Duo could make him stay pops into his head. Gulps lightly.* How am I supposed to support us if I don't work?
Duo: I can become a barmaid again! *looks over at him and blinks when he sees his rosy cheeks*
Heero: ... No, no.
-…I don't want other men all over you...-
*covers his face with a hand and rubs his eyes.* This hit should put us well off for a while.
Duo: Well...what if I...
Heero: *peeks out then lowers his hand.* It's all right, Duo....
Duo: *sighs* There's no changing your mind, is there?
Heero: No. You can't argue with me.
Duo: I know. It's pointless.
Heero: *smirks.* Well then, I'm giving you an opportunity to tell me what to do... so?
Duo: *beams suddenly* Model for me!
Heero: *stares at him skeptically.*
Duo: Oh come on! Go try on your new clothes and get crazy! *starts shoving clothes back into his arms* Go! I'mma gonna try to make dinner!
Heero: B-but... You.. *stumbling off with the clothes.*
Duo: *grins happily and claps his hands. Turns around and goes to Quatre's fireplace, kneeling down. Starts throwing in two new logs and some twigs*
Heero: *goes into the bedroom and falls onto the bed with a huff, laying on all the clothes.*
Duo: *tries to get the fire started, rubbing the stick against the wood* 'ey! 'ero! Hurry up, so you can help me with this fire!
Heero: *jumps up and strolls out, anything to get out of modeling.* I'll help you right now.
Duo: Kay. *stands up, letting him in*
Heero: You want me to do it manually?
Duo: Well you can't use your powers ALL the time, 'ero.
Heero: *crouches with a light shrug and goes to building the fire. Obviously taking his time.*
Duo: 'ero...you aren't...you know...taking your time so you don't have to do modeling, are you? *suspicious tone*
Heero: *pauses then sets up the wood slowly.*
Duo: You are!
Heero: ... Don't rush me...
Duo: *eyes glint* On second thought, 'ero, why don't you use your powers? Food comes faster that way.
Heero: *stands slowly, acting stupid.* But you said...
Duo: Baka! *hits him upside the head*
Heero: *winces lightly and steps away from him quickly.*
Duo: *steps after him*
Heero: *side steps toward the door.*
Duo: *grins manically and pounces at him to the floor*
Heero: *falls onto his back but rolls quickly and pins Duo's hands to the wood with his own.* I thought I told you not to call people names...
Duo: *squeaks* You called me Mitsukai again!
Heero: Mitsukai isn't bad though. Baka... I'm not a baka.
Duo: Some cases you are. *slips a leg between his, wrapping it around one and lifting his head to bite his shoulder*
Heero: *smirks at him then bites his neck in reply, laying more chest to chest.*
Duo: *squeals, jerking in pain and knee coming in contact with his groin*
Heero: *pulls his head away and rolls off of him quickly.*
Duo: Shit, Heero! That bloody hurt! *punches him in the shoulder*
Heero: Like getting kneed -there- doesn't. *making a face. Relaxes after a moment and rolls back on top of him, spreading Duo's legs and laying between heavily so he can't do that move again.* I didn't leave a mark.
Duo: *cheeks start to get red* Yeah, well, next time I will on your neck!
Heero: *tilts his head to expose his neck.*
Duo: *cheeks turn deep scarlet, eyes wide* ...Serious?
Heero: Hai. If you want to.
Duo: *feels his whole face burn, twisted between actually taking the offer and locking himself in the bedroom*
Heero: *waits then turns his head again and lowers, biting Duo's neck more gently.*
Duo: *gasps lightly, body arching underneath him a little bit off the floor*
Heero: *shifts lightly and then slowly releases his neck and licks at it lightly before offering his neck again.*
Duo: *stays frozen on the floor, breathing heavily in shock, with his hands gripping the front of Heero's shirt*
Heero: *pulls up a bit, looking at him slowly.* Had enough of this baka?
Duo: *pulls him back slightly, licking his lips and looks over his features slowly*
Heero: *lifts up again to give him room to breathe with a smirk on his lips.*
Duo: 'ero...Do...you...
Heero: *lifts an eyebrow, smirk fading slowly.*
Duo: Do you...ever think..of...the first time we met...?
Heero: *nods slowly with a small "hai".*
Duo: And how you...*starts tugging him closer, head lifting a bit off the floor*
Heero: *gulps slowly, looking innocently confusion.*
Duo: And how you...kissed me...?
Heero: *nods slowly again, not making a sound, staring into Duo's eyes and a breath away from his face, hands trying to grip the wood.*
Duo: *smirks lazily, eyes a bit hazy* If you want to live a bit longer...you're gonna have to act like I'm payin' you real good. *suddenly tugs him the rest of the way down and meets his lips with his uplifted ones, hands gripping the front of his shirt*
Heero: *stiffens lightly then relaxes and kisses him back, Duo's head falling gently back to the floor and letting a hand slide from the floor to the back of Duo's head before it hits, still in mild shock.*
Duo: *takes in a long deep breath against his cheek, feminine long leg running up his hip like so many nights before. Runs his tongue across his top lip before retreating back in a teasing manner, body lifting up while pulling him down*
Heero: *leans on his elbow slowly to let his other hand come to Duo's side and massage lightly as he rubs their bodies together slightly. Hesitantly allows his tongue out to follow Duo's and lightly flick it before mimicking the younger teen's actions but running it along his bottom lip lightly.*
Duo: *brings him closer, bucking his hips demandingly at his horrible show of 'paying him good'. Lets his tongue slip out again and nudges his, retreating both of their wanton tongues into Heero's mouth*
Heero: *grunts softly then sucks on Duo's tongue before nipping it and gently rubbing their hips together while his hand slides it's way to Duo's thigh to grip.*
Duo: *groans softly, lower stomach fluttering and twists his arms around his body, feeling the hard muscles on his back with slutty fingers*
Heero: *plays with his tongue eagerly before pulling back and moving to his neck to bite the spot again very softly and then kisses his throat hotly.*
Duo: *hisses with a groan, hips arching and rubbing into Heero's as his hands part. One hand grabs the back of his shirt again and tugs it free from his pants, slipping another hand in to feel that hot flesh underneath while the other runs into his hair and grips*
Heero: *uses his nose to push back the collar of his shirt and lick at his collar bones before sucking softly and gently thrusting his hips. Groans throatily then pulls up, breathing heavily and looking at Duo hungrily.* Do.. you think we're rushing.. things..?
Duo: *peers his eyes open and groans at the mere sight of Heero's eyes. Bites his lip, holding back the urge to move his hips forward and say 'hell, no'. Waits for a moment, gripping onto Heero's shirt again, until he control his raging hormones and fast beating heart* Heero...I _can not_ concentrate when you look at me like that...
Heero: Hnn... *lowers his head again and kisses him softly before moving down to his throat again and hands caress his sides, stomach and thighs.*
Duo: *pants softly, squirming underneath him* Shit...That doesn't help either, 'ero...Oh, god, that felt good!
Heero: *groans lightly and rolls off with a thud on his side before falling onto his back, staring at the ceiling.* I'll contain myself.
Duo: *pants softly and slowly holds himself, body tingling all over* Okay...Okay...
Heero: *takes deep breaths, exhaling in soft sighs and puts a hand into his hair to tug at. Glances over at Duo before returning to the ceiling.*
Duo: Holy...Heero...I can't stop _tingling_...*shudders emotionally*
Heero: I... think... it'll go away if we just relax...
Duo: *rolls over and curls up, panting into the floor boards and gently clawing at the wood*
Quatre: *opens the door, laughing softly but stops short at the scene on the floor* Duo!? Heero!?
Apollo: *nearly runs into him and looks over the shorter teen's head.* Eh..?
Heero: *jerks up to a sit.* What.. what? *breathing heavily.*
Duo: Oh shit...*curls up more, cheeks already getting red*
Quatre: Are you guys all right!? *steps inside quickly*
Duo: Fine! *suddenly jerks up before Quatre can get to him and crawls backwards to save himself the humiliation of a full grown erection*
Heero: *stands up slowly, nearly falling over in his daze then brushes off, able to control himself just a little bit better than Duo and luck to find himself in baggier pants.* We're fine. *walks over to Duo and picks him up, walking to the bedroom.*
Apollo:... That was weird. *stands in the doorway then walks in, shaking off his confusion.* Told you they'd get along fine, Quat. *smirking.*
Quatre: Oh, honestly! You're never thinking with your head-
Apollo: *smirk broadens, walking up behind Quatre and smacks him on the ass to make him jump.* (husky) I'm always thinking with my 'head'.
Quatre: *yelps, whirling around, while holding his abused tush* You hentai! I can't beli-
Apollo: Did that hurt? Let me help you... *hugs Quatre to his body with his hands grabbing the blonde's ass and lifting him, massaging the arousing meat.*
Quatre: *groans helplessly, will succumbing* Damnit...Apollo...
Apollo: *grins and starts walking toward their bedroom while teasingly kissing Quatre with "hmm"s.*
Quatre: You're...insatiable...
Apollo: MmHmm... I'm a bit disappointed that you're not indefatigable... but I'll manage...
Quatre: *pushes the door open for Apollo* Are you saying I'm not good enough?
Apollo: Did I say that? *kisses Quatre's neck and kicks the door shut with his foot before falling onto the bed with Quatre on top.*
---------------------
Duo: *tries hard to not let Heero know of his erection, shifting in his arms to hide it*
Heero: *slowly lays Duo on the bed, pushing the clothes aside, silent.*
Duo: *curls up with a blush, idly helping Heero shyly*
Heero: *fidgets a moment then walks around the bed to start folding the clothes and sets them onto the chair beside the bed.* Are you all right?
Duo: Just a little flustered over here...
Heero: Ah. *folds the rest of the clothes then sets them aside and slips out of his boots, setting them down by the bed. Lays back slowly and puts his hands behind his head.* I think I can go for the night without dinner.
Duo: Is that all you're going to say?
Heero: Hn... I think we rushed things...
Duo: Yeah...Me...Me too.
Heero: *shifts lightly on the bed and sighs slowly before closing his eyes to calm himself.*
Duo: *shifts slightly* But...I don't regret it. Do you?
Heero: ... Iie, I don't.
Duo: *sighs, relieved, against his knees then moves forward slowly, curled up and resting his chin on his shoulder*
Heero: *opens his eyes and looks over at him slowly then grins lightly.*
Duo: *leans up slowly and gives him a peck on the cheek* We'll go slow, right?
Heero: *nods.* Hai, slow.
Duo: *slowly sneaks his hand into his and squeezes it gently* Bed?
Heero: *shifts and rolls onto his side, gently pulling Duo over to hug.* Hai.
Duo: *smiles and curls up to him instead, letting his eyes to slip close*
Heero: *closes his eyes slowly and sighs into Duo's hair, ready to rest up for the day to come.*
