-Morning.-

-------------

Heero: *stretches in bed with a light yawn and then slowly gets out of the bed, slipping away from the cuddling Duo. Grins faintly and covers the sleeping form, leaning down to brush back long strands of Duo's hair and kiss him on the forehead. Straightens and grabs some clothes to take a shower. Walks out of the bedroom at the same time Apollo does.*

Apollo: Mornin'. *pulling on his shirt to go off to work.*

Heero: *nods to him lightly and heads to the bathroom with Apollo going to the kitchen.*

Apollo: I'll fix you up somethin' 'fore I go.

Heero: Thank you. *goes into the bathroom.*

Heero: *pulls on his shirt silently as he goes to the bedroom and shakes out his hair before he enters. Walks in and slips on his boots, lacing them up tightly then leans and kisses Duo softly again before going out to the kitchen and grabbing the sandwich Apollo made in the empty kitchen. Walks out of the house and into the chilly, early morning.*

Duo: *sniffles into the pillow, snuggling into the empty bed as he searches for the musky scent of his dreams*

-Duo's laughter bursts from the warm home of the town, the only place with the lights still shining through the window.-

Heero: *walks down the street silently, yawning loudly, tired from his run to the far OZ and then back to his hit and finally receiving his payment. Ties the heavy pouch to his belt and slows as he nears the home, looking a little weary at it before hesitating then knocking.*

Duo: I'll git it! *disoriented shuffle before the door swings open and a long haired man falls into Heero's arms and kissing him passionately*

Heero: *blinks, going cross-eyed then kisses him back quickly before pushing him up.* Duo..?

Duo: *cheers, cheeks flushed with a bottle of wine in his hand* Oh, 'ewo! My hero! *giggles at his own stupid joke* Glad it waz you.  Qwat dared me to kiss th' next person who knocked on the door 'bout the noise.  Bloody bastards.  We'll show you NOISE! *raises his bottle to throw it to the ground*

Heero: *catches his wrist and walks into the house, holding up Duo around the waist, looking around.*

Quatre: *giggles and waves from the table where he laid his head down in Duo's absence*

Duo: *gurgles nonsense and glomps onto Heero, rambling about...um...nonsense*

Apollo: *absent.*

Heero: *sighs heavily.* Bedtime.

Duo: NO! *lets go of Heero and squirms out of his hold, stumbling away* Run, Qwatre!

Quatre: *bursts up, sways, then follows Duo's lead down the hall*

Heero: *watches them go into Quatre's bedroom then just stands there a moment. Walks over to the table and lifts the bottle to take a gulp of it then sets it back down. Walks down the hall, glancing into the bathroom where the mine-dirty Apollo is soaking in the bathtub, passed out. Sighs, shaking his head again then opens Quatre's door to peer into the dark room.*

Duo: *gives Quatre a last smooch on the lips before throwing him on the bed and whirling around, charging at Heero, just to leap and fall into his arms.*

Heero: *stumbles back slightly, blinking lightly.* I'll leave you two alone if you need some privacy...

Duo: *giggles stupidly* You can join us, 'ero...*snuggles up to his body, trying, and failing, to be seductive*

Heero: *pulls Duo to lay over his shoulder, looking in at Quatre again.* Go to bed. *closes the door and walks to their own room.*

Duo: *swings his head around crazily behind Heero, one hand trailing down his back to reach one destination in mind*

Heero: *opens the door and walks in. Lifts an eyebrow then smacks Duo's butt gently.* No.

Duo: *squeals then giggles with delight, squirming with a mad grin*

Heero: *closes the door again and lays Duo on the bed gently, sitting at the edge of it and moving to the other side of the bed, leaning to untie his boot laces and slip them off.*

Duo: No! *suddenly sits up, gets dizzy, and lays back down* Ugh...*rolls off the bed then crawls to Heero and sits in front of him* 'orry 'ewo.  I meanted to be hober for 'his.

Heero: Sober for what? *manages to get one boot off and tosses it aside before going to work on the other.*

Duo: *pushes his hands away while sitting up on his knees, getting between Heero's legs.  Whispers up at him* Can I undress 'ou?

Heero: ... Duo, go back to bed. *unties his pouch and tosses the heavy thing onto the dresser before slipping his belt off and tossing it aside, leaning to work on his boot again.*

Duo: *wraps his arms around his neck, nuzzling it* Please...?

Heero: *sighs heavily.* Fine, but nothing more, all right?

Duo: Hai, 'othing more! *leans back, biting his bottom lip looking up at Heero before lowering his gaze with a giggle, hands moving slowly down his torso and to his shirt.  Slowly tugs it free from his pants, smiling*

Heero: *watches his hands silently then shifts on the bed, slipping his other boot off and kicking it away.*

Duo: *slowly lifts it up, eyes ever watchful on each new exposed flesh, pinky fingers lightly grazing the sides of his body*

Heero: *tightens his muscles then relaxes again and lifts his arms for Duo to slip the fabric off of him.*

Duo: *runs his top teeth over his bottom lip and slowly lifts the shirt over Heero's head, fingertips touching his arms*

Heero: *tugs his head from the collar then looks at Duo and lowers his arms as the tunic comes off. Lowers his hands to the bed, leaning back slightly.*

Duo: *gazes at his body curiously, letting the tunic go to the floor and just watches him for a long moment.  Raises a hand slowly, running his right middle finger down his collar bone and over his shoulder*

Heero: *watches the hand and then looks at Duo again, wishing he hadn't drank that night.*

Duo: *slowly lifts his second hand, taking away his first and trailing his other middle finger down between Heero's chest, curiously feeling the hard and taunt flesh*

Heero: *exhales deeply and reaches over to Duo, running his fingers over his cheek and then back into his silky hair.*

Duo: *eyes slip close for a mere moment, middle finger drawing towards his toned abs and gently feeling their curves.  Tilts his head upwards, eyes slipping open to look at Heero, eyes twinkling*

Heero: *runs his fingers through the lovely waves and leans forward, kissing Duo softly and slowly before leaning back again.*

Duo: *runs his finger down all the way to his pants and slowly slips it in, following closely the rest and his second hand by his hip* 'ift your hips, 'ero...

Heero: *shifts and leans on his hands more to lifts his hips as he says, obediently.*

Duo: *slowly begins to slip them down, knuckles grazing his thighs and long legs fondly*

Heero: *settles back on the bed and lifts his feet for the leggings to slip off, silently watching Duo in a curious manner.*

Duo: *plants a soft, butterfly kiss on Heero's knee after a second thought, throwing away his pants.  Slowly stands up and turns around, digging through a few drawers before taking out a long shirt and silk pants.  Leans against the dresser, grinning, and shuts the drawer.* Can I hress 'ou too?

Heero: *stays silent a few moments, watching him still.* If you like.

Duo: *smiles and trudges back over slowly* Stand up.

Heero: *leans back more then pushes up and stands, hands uselessly at his sides.*

Duo: *puts the pants on the bed and slowly unravels the long shirt and smiles up at him.  Moves over quickly, holding the shirt above his head* Arms uppidy.

Heero: You're rather graceful for being intoxicated. *lifts his arms to slip into the shirt.*

Duo: I'm not _completely_ waaasted, 'ewo. *slowly tugs the shirt down, touching his sides sensuously and kisses him on the cheek*

Heero: *turns his head quickly to kiss him then fixes the shirt.* Taste like it.

Duo: *giggles* Nonsense! *reaches down and picks up the silk pants, kneeling down before him* Mmm...Step in it, 'ewo.  *rolls up one side the pant leg*

Heero: But I don't want to wear pants.

Duo: *looks up at him hazily, blinking* Uh, why not?

Heero: *pulling a Duo.* ... 'cause..

Duo: *tilts his head, on his haunches* 'Cause *hic* why?

Heero: *crouches and pulls Duo back up, leaving the pants on the floor.* Just because I don't want to wear them. You can't argue with me, remember? It's pointless, especially when you're drunk.

Duo: Well then _I_ will wear no shirt!

Heero: *smirks lightly and untucks Duo's shirt, going to pull it off of him.* That's fine with me, you can put the silk pants on. *runs his warm hands over the smooth and soft skin, kissing Duo's forehead.*

Duo: *giggles, cheeks getting a little bit redder*

Heero: *lowers more and kisses his cheeks, running his hands over Duo's sides then up more to his chest to feel gently with his palms.* Arms up.

Duo: *raises his arms slowly, body heat growing a bit at the gentle touch*

Heero: *quickly runs his hands up Duo's arms to push the shirt up and off his head, watching the hair fall through it and all around Duo's body. Kisses him on the lips softly before dropping the shirt aside, running his hands back down Duo's arms and grinning lightly at him while his hands slide down his smooth torso to his pants.* Utterly intoxicated.

Duo: *smirks slowly, goosebumps running up his body* Do you mean me..or you?

Heero: *blinks lightly then grins and slides his hands over Duo's waist and grips his rear with a squeeze before beginning to take the pants off of him.* Don't even start with me..

Duo: *grinning wildly, heart fluttering at Heero's mere touch and watches him with burning eyes*

Heero: *pushes the fabric down over his hips slowly then turns, picking him up and sits him on the bed as he crouches to take the fabric off of his legs.*

Duo: *lifts his legs off the ground, watching his pants slip away then slowly sets them down, legs spreading*

Heero: *shifts and tosses the pants away with his own. Runs his hands over Duo's legs slowly, looking up at him then reaches for the silk pants before pausing and standing. Pulls off his shirt again and climbs onto the bed.*

Duo: *stares at the silk pants then looks at Heero* Aren't you suppose to put those on me...?

Heero: *slips under the sheets and lays down.* No, I like that.

Duo: You like me nekkie?

Heero: ... Hai, I do.

Duo: *grins drunkenly and turns around, crawling over* 'ow much?

Heero: *smirks softly, looking him over.* ... Ahh... Very much.

Duo: *grins, rocking back on his heels, too drunk to be shy* 'ewo?

Heero: *drinking him in.* Hnnn..nn..?

Duo: I wanna...*spreads his legs slightly* be with you.

Heero: *groans in reply and pulls the blanket back to invite him under.*

Duo: *crawls under, smirking, and swiddles up to his body, kissing his chest*

Heero: *pulls the sheet over them and hugs him, eyes closing.*

Duo: Don't go to 'ed.

Heero: Why.. not, Duo..? *sighs heavenly.*

Duo: *wraps a leg around Heero's, bringing it up between his* Cause I 'aid so.

Heero: *tilts Duo's chin up and shifts, tilting his own face down to kiss Duo gently then mumbles softly.* You need to sleep...

Duo: *starts kissing up his jaw* 'ot sleepy...

Heero: *unable to contain himself. Slips his hand over Duo's silky side to his hip to massage. Kisses his cheek.* You have to...

Duo: No...Wanna...*bites his neck gently* be together...

Heero: *groans quietly in his throat and nuzzles his face into Duo's wonderful and sweet smelling hair.* We'll always be together.

Duo: Not 'ike tha' 'ewo.

Heero: Then...? *hugs him tightly again.*

Duo: *runs a hand down his side, going for his butt*

Heero: *allows Duo's hand to find the flesh and smirks lightly, kissing his cheek softly.*

Duo: Come on, 'ewo.  *squeezes* Lets make love.  'ight now.

Heero: *grins and shakes his head, laying his head back down on the pillow heavily.* Iie. *closes his eyes.*

Duo: *whines and doubles his efforts, kissing his neck sloppily*

Heero: *grins to himself, peeking out through his eyelashes.* Duo..

Duo: Ehh...? *blinks up at him*

Heero: Go to bed. *pulls him close and snuggles into the bed, closing his eyes again.*

Duo: *sighs heavily and lays his head against his chest, eyes slipping close* Fine.  Bu' I'm mad at chu.

Heero: *slips his hand down to Duo's ass to grip now.* I'll make it up to you later.

Duo: *yipes then giggles stupidly, snuggling up to him happily* 'kay.

Heero: *grinning and falling asleep.*
