Love me, leave me...come back to me...


"Duo?" Hilde said as she raised her eyes from her milk shake.

*slurrp* "Hm?" Duo replied looking up, still slurping on his chocolate malt.

Hilde looked as though she would ask him something important...but then decided otherwise. She flashed a big smile and laughed. "Wanna go see a movie in a few minutes? It starts at 7:00. You're almost finished, right?"

Duo's face lit up "Yeah! Lemme just get this last bit outta the bottom..." *slurrrrrrp*

Hilde rolled her eyes and laughed, "Oh come on Duo. You've had enough of that malt. Now you are going to by twice as goofy and three times more hyper than usual cause of all that chocolate." She grabbed his hand and quickly ran out of the ice cream shop dragging him behind her.

"Whoa, Hilde! Stop the ride, eh? I just finished a large chocolate malt and my stomach hasn't settled yet." Duo burped and let out a deep breath as Hilde slowed down. "Hehe...thanks."

Hilde smiled, "Well, I want to get to the movie on time, but not as much as I DON'T wanna see you lose your malt. Sorry, Duo."

"S'okay, Hilde!" He rubbed his stomach and took a deep breath in. "Okay! I'm ready to go now!" He grabbed Hilde's hand and ran off toward the theater in a blur.

"Duoooo!!" Hilde squealed.

Hilde smiled as they stopped in front of the theater. "Geez Duo...I just finished a shake too, ya know."

Duo chuckled, "But you didn't lose it, did ya?"

Hilde playfully pushed him. She went to dig in her pockets for some money, but felt a hand grab her arm gently. She looked up to see Duo smiling.

"This time, I pay..." Duo gave her a wink and went up to the window to get two tickets.

Hilde stood silent for a moment. "Duo, pay? HOW?!" She looked at him curiously when he grabbed her hand to take her inside. "Duo...you AREN'T broke?"

Duo smiled, "No, I'm not totally broke...I've had odd jobs here and there...of course, I didn't hold them for longer than a month. Hell, I didn't even hold most of them for over two weeks. But, they've all been good paying mechanic jobs...so, I did get paid the short time I was at each job and I still have some left over...but anyway, lets go in before we miss the whole movie, eh?"

Hilde nodded and laughed. "I'm sorry, Duo. I didn't mean to seem so shocked."

Duo led her into the theater. "Don't worry about it Hilde. If I were you, I woulda thought I was broke too." Duo scratched his head wondering if he had just said that right.

Hilde let out a small giggle as she watched Duo think. She squeezed his hand and bumped into him playfully to get him out of his confused state. "You're crazy, Duo."

"That's why you like me so much! What would you do if I wasn't crazy?! ALL you people would be lost without me and my craziness!"

" Hey Duo...I forgot to ask...what movie are we seeing?!?!" Hilde asked wide eyed.

Duo laughed. "You didn't see the huge billboard outside?"

Hilde blushed, "No! I was too bewildered that you weren't broke! Remember?"

"Well, I hadn't really planned on seeing it, but I figured we were already here, and I knew you might like it....Titanic!"

Hilde smiled. "Leonardo DeCaprio!!! Oh yes! I heard he looks sooo good in this movie!"

Duo mumbled something....

Hilde smiled and rolled her eyes. "But there is a part for you in it too...I heard that Kate Winslet is nude in one part..."

Duo's eyes lit up... "A hot chick is in this film too?!"

Hilde laughed and gave him a wink, "So we both get some action in this film."

Duo led Hilde into the dark theater laughing. "Where ya wanna sit?"

Hilde looked around the theater. The screen advertisements gave off just enough glow to reveal that there was hardly anyone there. "Wow, I guess a lot of people HAVE moved out of the colony..." She frowned at the thought..

"Or, the movie really sucks and no one wants to see it." Hilde smiled at her attempt to cheer herself up, also hoping that she hadn't touched a nerve in Duo.

She felt Duo grab her shoulder from behind and gently squeeze. She grabbed his hand, squeezing back, and laughed softly. "Lets go sit down, eh?"

They ended up sitting in the middle of the theater. "Can you see the screen, Duo?"

"Yeah, I can see great...but I may want to move up at certain points in the movie..." Duo chuckled.

"Yeah, right. I'll strap you to your seat before you go up there to get a closer look at Kate's boobs." Hilde laughed.

Duo nudged Hilde. "Babe, nothin's keeping me down when I see a hot nude chick."

Hilde's eyes got wide as she blushed slightly from Duo's remark. She knew he didn't mean her, but it was still weird thinking about it that way...she had heard him call her hot before and she had blushed then too...She was just glad it was dark enough in the theater so Duo couldn't see the nice shade of pink her face had just turned.

"Shh, Duo...the movie's starting!" Hilde shushed Duo as the advertisements stopped and the movie started.

Duo smiled as he looked over at Hilde and briefly saw her face clearly when the screen flashed as the advertisements went off. "She's blushing..." he thought to himself and smiled.

Hilde nudged him when she caught him looking at her. "Duo, watch the movie...it's starting!"

They both turned toward the screen and soon both ended up interested.................


Hilde yawned. "This is a long movie..." she whispered to Duo.

Duo was still watching intently for the scene he wanted to see of Kate.

Hilde laughed quietly. "You don't intend on taking your eyes off that screen do you?"

"Not until I see that woman, nude!" He whispered back. "Drop them clothes, sweetie! Drop'em!" He said rather loud.

"SHHH!!" Came from the front row of the theater.

Hilde giggled. Duo became rather irritated at the front row, but he went right back to watching the screen.

A few minutes later.....

"Well, did you like that nude scene? Was that satisfying enough for you?" Hilde whispered to Duo, nudging him.

"I suppose that was good enough." Duo winked at Hilde and nudged her back. "But I still think she shoulda kept that robe off." He looked back up at the screen. "See? They are running through that furnace room for the ship...she must be so hot! She would've been MUCH cooler if she was nude."

Hilde tried to stifle her giggles as Duo pretended to watch the screen in hopes that Kate would become too hot for her dress...

Duo relaxed in his seat when he finally 'realized' she wasn't going to be nude again...or so he thought....

Hilde wondered aloud, "Now, why are they in that car? I mean, I know they think they are hiding and everything...but, it's COLD out there! They can't possibly stay out there for lon-" Hilde stopped as she saw the screen couple start to make out... "uhh...wait a second here..."

Duo laughed as he realized what was about to happen. "They are gonna DO IT in 30 degree weather?! He's gotta have some major shrinkage or somethin!!"

"SHHH!!!!" the front row spewed again.

Duo was about to say something, but Hilde held him back. She shook her head and smiled pleadingly. Duo sat back in his chair again and relaxed.

Hilde blushed deeply and bit her lip nervously as the love scene commenced. "Oh geez...I thought this was supposed to be great for teenagers to go see."

Duo squirmed in his seat and agreed with Hilde. "Geez...maybe it won't last much longer, eh?..."

Hilde smiled. "I thought you, of all people, would enjoy this scene. Kate is nude again!"

Duo winced, "Yeah, but so is that little dweeb, Leonardo Desmalldick..."

Hilde suddenly burst out laughing.

Duo started laughing along with her.

"Hey! SHUT UP back there!!!" the few people in the front row screamed again.

"HEY YOU!" Hilde stood up and yelled. "If YOU don't like it, go somewhere else!! WE aren't hurting you any!"

Hilde looked back at Duo and grabbed his hand. "Come on Duo, I think we've had enough of this sucky movie!"

Duo smiled, "You said it, babe! Let's get outta here!" He got up and ran out with her.

Hilde and Duo ran straight through the lobby laughing hysterically, leaving a few people wondering what exactly was going on.

They both stopped outside to catch their breath, still laughing.

"Where do ya wanna go now, Duo?" Hilde finally started to catch her breath.

"I'm ready for some action! Let's go back to your place!" Duo smiled mischeviously and grabbed Hilde's hand.

Hilde didn't have time to think before she was dragged off again. "Duooo!! What kind of ACTION were you thinking of...exactly?!?!"

"Oh, you'll see!!" Duo laughed as he raced back to her house.

back at her house.........

(Dead or Alive's "You spin me right round." Is blaring on the radio in Hilde's house)

Suddenly, Duo shoots out of the hall into the living room, sliding in wearing only socks, underwear, black sunglasses, and a long white button up shirt. *holds a egg beater up to his mouth like a microphone and sings to the song*

Hilde slides in laughing, wearing an identical button up shirt, sunglasses, and socks...but is wearing boxers instead of underwear. *holds up a huge soup spoon up to her mouth like a microphone and sings along with Duo*

Both get up and start dancing all over the place singing.

"Watch out here I come (echoes)...............

"Duo! The couch is NOT a big trampoline!" Hilde laughed. "Get offa there!"

Duo stopped jumping on the couch and jumped down next to Hilde. "Okay then, but I know a place that IS meant for jumping!!" He quickly ran into the hallway and out of Hilde's sight.

Hilde ran after Duo laughing, "Duo! NO place in this house is meant for jumping!" She finally reached her room and peered in to see if he had hidden in there.

"Oh yeah! This is the place to get some HIGH jumping done!" Duo said as he jumped up and down on Hilde's bed.

Smirking, Hilde opened the door all the way and stood there with her hands on her hips.

Duo flashed her a big smile. "What?! Get up here Hilde, before the song ends!"

Hilde just laughed and shook her head as Duo held out his hand to pull her up. She walked into the room and finally grabbed Duo's hand to get up onto the bed.

Duo started jumping again. "Come on Hilde! Jump!"

Hilde started to jump up and down reluctantly, but was soon jumping just as high as Duo and loving it.

"Duo,...we....are...crazy! You...know that...don't you?!" Hilde said with each time she hit the mattress.

Duo slowed down on his jumping as the song ended and smiled. "Of course!"

Hilde stopped jumping and sat down with a bounce. She looked up at Duo and smiled sweetly. "I'm glad you're staying here with me, Duo. Even if it is just for a little while,."

Duo smiled back and laughed. "I'm glad that you are glad that I'm staying here..."

Hilde giggled. "Well, I'm gonna go turn off the radio. I think we've had enough dancing and jumping around for tonight." Hilde was halfway off the bed when another song started on the radio.

*radio*: and this is the new song from the soundtrack of "Titanic".... "My heart will go on"

Hilde smiled, "That's weird. We just came back from that movie! I bet the song sucks too." She got up to walk out into the living room.

"Hilde...wait a sec.." Still standing on the bed, Duo looked down at Hilde.

Hilde turned around to see Duo's hand extended again. "Huh? What is it Duo? We already jumped our little hearts out! I can't jump anymore!"

Duo smiled, "No, I don't wanna jump anymore. Come up here with me for a sec."

Hilde smiled curiously. "Okay...." She grabbed Duo's hand and he gently pulled her up onto the bed again.

Duo grabbed her around her waist. "I've heard this song before...it's much better than the movie....." He leaned in close to her ear. "Now, dance with me." he whispered.

Hilde blushed as he whispered in her ear. She put her arms around his neck and smiled as Duo began to dance. "Hey, wait for me Duo." She laughed.

Hilde softly lay her head on Duo's shoulder as they both tried their best to dance on the messed up sheets and pillows. The song soon ended, but they kept dancing slowly.

"Duo..." Hilde said as she looked over his shoulder at his braid.

"Yeah, Hilde." Duo stopped dancing with Hilde.

Hilde backed away from Duo and smiled. She blushed as she bit her lip nervously. "Duo, can I....brush your hair?"

Duo fell down on the bed and laughed.

Hilde stopped smiling and looked down at Duo. "What are you laughing for?!"

Duo sat up and looked up at Hilde. "It's just that no ones asked me that before...and plus, it sounded as though you were going to say something serious..."

Hilde plopped down on the bed next to Duo. "It WAS a serious question. I mean, I've always wanted to see your hair down, besides the times I've seen it after your showers."

Duo smiled. "So you really want to brush my hair?"

Hilde nodded slightly.

"Then knock yourself out! But remember, you should feel very honored to be brushing the God of Death's hair. Normally, no one touches this hair and gets away alive." Duo held his braid in his hand and smiled.

Hilde rolled her eyes and laughed. "Oh, come here so I can brush it."

Duo turned around and scooted closer to Hilde.

Hilde grabbed up her brush from her night stand and placed it on the bed beside her. She gently took the rubber band off the end of his braid and began to take his hair down.

Duo closed his eyes as Hilde slowly ran the brush through his hair.

"You've got such beautiful hair, Duo." Hilde smiled as she felt Duo lean back toward her and sigh as she kept brushing.

Hilde found him unusually silent as she kept brushing his hair. "Duo?" She nudged his shoulder. She heard a soft noise, what she thought was a snore. She scooted back and felt Duo lean back even further. She giggled softly when she realized what was going on and quietly got up from the bed. She gently laid him down and pulled the covers over him. "The God of Death.. Well, right now, you look like a very tired God of Death to me..." She leaned over, gave him a soft kiss on his cheek, and was about to turn off the bed side lamp.

She reached over to turn it off and felt a soft grip on her other arm. She yanked the lamp's chain out of surprise and the room fell dark.

"Hilde." Duo chuckled. "Where ya goin?"

"Oh...geez...Duo...you scared me. I thought you were asleep." Hilde grabbed her chest. "I was about to go out into the living room and sleep on the couch."

"Why? That's where I sleep." Duo squeezed her arm gently.

"Well, because you were sleeping in here." Hilde finally caught her breath.

"So. You can still stay in here...."

Hilde could just hear him smile as he let out those words. She hesitated and stumbled over herself as she tried to find the right words she wanted to come out of her mouth. "Uh...well, I guess the bed IS big enough.." she almost hit herself in the head when they came out her mouth...

"You had to say it didn't you, Hilde? You couldn't have thought of ANYTHING else to say?!" she thought to herself.

Duo sleepily laughed as he realized that's not what Hilde had wanted to say. " Don't worry, Hilde. Here, I'll go sleep on the couch..." He said as he began to get out of her bed.

Hilde was about to turn the light back on so they could both see better, but didn't do it in time...

"WoAH!" Hilde almost screamed when she bumped into Duo, making them both topple over onto her bed.

Hilde shook her head and tried to focus her eyes in the dark. "Umm...Duo...please tell me those are pillows that are laying on me."

Duo looked over and tried to focus his eyes. "Yep, those are pillows."

Hilde wiped her forehead and smiled. "Oh...good.."

Duo crawled over to her and took the pillows off of her.

Hilde laughed. "Please tell me that was a huge pillow that just came and sat itself on top of me."

"Well, I suppose I could be considered as a huge pillow..." Duo lowered his face to hers. "You're pillows normally give you kisses, right?"

Hilde smiled. "Hmm...I don't think they do..."

"Well, they should start..." Duo took Hilde's hand and entwined his fingers with hers as his lips gently brushed hers.

"Duo..." Hilde said his name softly as she brought her hand up to caress his face.

Duo's hair fell around them both as he hungrily kissed Hilde. "Hilde..." Duo said as he broke away briefly, "I love you...."

Hilde smiled as her eyes filled with tears. "I love you too, Duo."

"Don't cry Hilde..." Duo kissed away a tear that had fallen down Hilde's cheek.

"I'm so selfish...I just don't want you to leave me, Duo. But I know you have to." Hilde tried to smile through her tears. "But, I'll be strong for you Duo..."

"I'll come back to you, Hilde...I promise..." Duo wiped away more stray tears from Hilde's cheeks.

Hilde nodded, trying to smile. "I know...For right now, though, you ARE here with me..."

"And I'm going to take advantage of it, Hilde...every minute..."




.........................................................................................................................

Well, that was just another little short diddly about Hilde and Duo. It was meant to follow my story "Steak and Ice Cream", but you can read either of them by themselves. Anyway, I hope you liked this story. I kind of stole that little "dancing in the living room part" from the movie 'Risky Business'. You know, the part where Tom Cruise is dancing in only his underwear, socks, and a shirt? Yeah, well, I thought it would be cute to put in this story. ^_^ I really hope you liked it. I'll make more little stories like this soon. But I'm also working on my comedy fiction "A Gundam Wing Romance" so there won't be many other stories until I'm done with that one. Thanks for the reviews on the last fic! Hope this one is also fit to review! :O) Thanks again!
