Yaoi: Heero and Duo
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or Dragon Ball Z or any of their characters. The only characters that are mine are any characters that don't belong to or in either Gundam Wing or Dragon Ball Z.
Chi-Chi knocked on the door to the guest room. "Heero, Duo, are you two awake, yet?" Chi-Chi called through the door.
Heero woke up and saw the position. "Duo..." Heero said. Duo snapped awake, suppressing his blush, with much work and refrained from saying anything. He didn't want to tell Heero how he felt yet, until he was sure that Heero wouldn't think badly of him or maybe even that Heero felt the same. He was sure that no matter what, Heero would never think badly of him. Though, sometimes, people misread and misjudge people. Duo was sure, though, that Heero would never do that to him. If Heero didn't love him the way he loved Heero, then Heero would let him down easy and they would go on with the way things used to be. He knew Heero well enough to know that. Heero would never hurt him in any way. Physically or emotionally. Of course, it would hurt if Heero rejected him, but as long as they stayed as close friends as they always did, Duo could live with it. As long as he was with Heero. He didn't have to be constantly able to kiss him or make love to him, but he just wanted to be with him, too. He wanted anything and everything Heero was willing to give him. Even if it was only close friendship.
But, there was that nagging in the back of his head that said that that could backfire on him. Duo decided that he would wait. He knew, though, that there was no way he was misreading his own feelings, though. No, this was love. Something so deep that it even hurt at times. Like when Heero took that shot in the chest from Vegeta. Duo thought his heart was just going to explode with pain. This was sort of like a second chance at life for them and Heero had already ended up hurt.
'And if Heero IS interested in guys, that doesn't mean that he returns my feelings. What if he is, but he just isn't interested in ME? Damn, they weren't kidding when they said 'love hurts'. They also weren't kidding when they said not to try to figure it out, because it gives you a major migraine. Anyway, was that someone at the door?' Duo thought. He turned to the door. "Who is it?" Duo asked, sleepily, though wide awake, now. "It's Chi-Chi. The boys want you to start your training and it's time for breakfast. I was wondering how Heero was doing, as well." Chi-Chi said. "No, I can't leave Heero." Duo said. "Duo, just because I'm hurt, you shouldn't put your life on hold." Heero said. Chi-Chi entered the room. She smiled at Duo, then at Heero. "Feeling better today, Heero?" Chi-Chi asked. "Yeah, a little. Duo, if you aren't going to train, then you're going to help me build up my strength again, so I can get up and walk around." Heero said. "But, if I do that, then I'll never be able to get you to rest. Besides, it isn't good for you and you just got over that fever and exhaustion." Duo said.
Heero flopped back over so he was on his back, again. Pain coursing through him again. "Heero." Duo said, quietly, worrying. "I think I'll tell the boys that you can't come." Chi-Chi said. "Good idea. Thanks." Duo said, trying to get Heero into a comfortable position. "You're welcome. Just make sure he gets well. Though, I know under your watch, he will." Chi-Chi said, winking in Duo's direction. For once Duo thanked all the Gods he didn't believe in that Heero was in so much pain that he didn't see the wink, because his eyes were closed. That thankfulness, turned, again, into worry. Truth be told, the worry never left, but now it only increased.
@@@@@@@@@
Chi-Chi went outside to tell the boys about Duo. "Boys! Duo isn't able to come out and train. He's still too busy taking care of Heero. Heero's in too much pain to be left alone for long." Chi-Chi said.
"Okay, thanks, Chi-Chi!! Well, guys, I guess we're on our own, today!" Goku said, cheerfully.
Chi-Chi left them alone in the yard, with a warning not to break anything....like the house. She wanted to call Bulma.
Chi-Chi was in the living room, a cordless phone to her ear as she watched a soap opera on television. The phone rang and rang and rang. Finally, a voice picked up.
"Hello?" A woman's voice asked. "Bulma?" Chi-Chi asked. "No, this is 18. Is this Chi-Chi?" The newly wished human, humanoid asked. "Oh, hi 18! Yeah, this is Chi-Chi. You know about those Saiyan Gods that were supposed to be coming after the training?" Chi-Chi asked. "Yeah, I remember Bulma telling me about that. The Gods of Death and War or something, right?" 18 asked. "Yeah, that's right. Well, they're very young. They look around 15 or 16. Maybe even a little older." Chi-Chi said. "Wow. Gods that young, huh?" 18 asked. "Yeah, well, anyway, one of them got hurt. They were up there at that King Kai's, because they were supposed to train to be as strong as they were, before. Or something like that. Anyway, One of them, the God of War, who goes by Heero, was sparring with Vegeta and Mr. High and Mighty got too excited and started with the bigger stuff, before Heero even knew how to block attacks without canceling them out with one of his own and junk and hit him in the chest. He had to have stitches and he's in real bad shape. The other, the God of Death, going as Duo, is staying close by him. He never leaves his side very often and when he does it isn't very long. Duo seems to be showing more affection to Heero than just a friend would. And Heero trusts him so much that he'll let Duo carry him around and doesn't want Duo to leave him. I think he's getting better, though. Although, I think they both really love each other, BUT Duo wont admit it. I don't even know if he's realized it, yet. He's very fussy over Heero, though. I was calling Bulma, because I wanted to see if she could come over here and help me set them up. Or at least get Duo to realize his feelings and tell Heero." Chi-Chi said.
"Oh, okay. Well, Bulma's here. I'll just tell her what you said and then she'll probably wanna come right over." 18 said. "That's great! Call me and tell me if she's coming or if she can't make it right now." Chi-Chi said. "Okay, bye Chi-Chi." 18 said. "Bye." Chi-Chi said, hanging up the phone.
@@@@@@@@@
"Heero, I don't want to hurt you." Duo said. "I know that, but if I don't do this, then by the time I'm actually better, I'll still be too weak to do anything, because I haven't used my muscles for a while." Heero said. "I know, Heero, but a shower?" Duo asked. "Then let me take a bath. I want to get cleaned up! I smell, Duo!" Heero said. "Heero, you do not. It isn't like you've been rolling around in the dirt, mud and garbage." Duo said. "I know that, but damn it, Duo, I want to get cleaned up!" Heero said, getting up, hurting himself, and falling back down. Duo sighed. "Heero, if you take a bath OR a shower, then I'll have to help you the whole time. That means that I'd have to help you in there, UNDRESS you, COMPLETELY and probably end up helping you wash." Duo said. "Why? Haven't you ever seen a guy's..." Heero was cut off by Duo's hand. "None of that, thanks." Duo said. He really didn't need to imagine that, right now. Not being able to tell Heero how he felt was already giving him naughty thoughts. He didn't need any help from Heero.
"You know, you're getting awfully skittish about certain words. Anything to do with my, or another guys, anatomy. You never used to be like that. Are you babysitting me now? Can't say those words or let those words be said to, around or by the little toddler?" Heero asked. He was only saying this, because he knew that it would get him a shower or a bath. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up, at all. "Heero!" Duo said, sounding a little hurt. "Alright, alright. I'm sorry. I was just figuring that if I said something like that, you would let me take a bath." Heero said.
"No, now Heero, if you think I'm treating you like a baby, then ya oughta be able to say so." Duo said, still sounding hurt and almost breaking Heero's heart to pieces, eventhough it wasn't even very evident in Duo's voice. "Duo, you aren't treating me like a baby. Without the care you've given me, I probably would have died. I never would have told anyone about that wound, so it was good that you saw it. I never would have survived, if someone hadn't been there for me and helped me. You were being protective, because it was in my best interest." Heero said. "Are you SURE that's the whole truth?" Duo asked. Heero looked puzzled. "What's that supposed to mean? Why else would I say it?" Heero asked. "Because, you might just be saying it, so my feelings wont be hurt." Duo said. "Duo, it's true that I didn't mean to hurt you, but I wasn't lying. You aren't treating me like a baby." Heero said. "Okay." Duo said. "Now, can I have my bath?" Heero asked.
"Heero, haven't we been over this? This is Déjà vu all over again." Duo said. Heero rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll get up myself and crawl into the bathroom." Heero said. "Hey, now wait just a minute." Duo said. "Yes?" Heero asked, smirking, already trying to get up and hurting himself, yet again. "Come 'ere!" Duo said, making a move to help Heero. "No, if you're going to help me, help me walk...on my own." Heero said.
"Fine, fine, fine. We'll do it your way, but by the time we're done, today, you're going to be exhausted." Duo said. "I know, I will. That could be a good thing. I'll get more sleep. Sleep is the most healing thing." Heero stated. "Alright." Duo said. He really did worry about Heero, sometimes.
@@@@@@@@@
Once in the bathroom, Duo undressed Heero, then got him to sit on the edge of the tub where he could lean against the wall, if he needed to and undressed, himself. After that was done, Duo got in, bringing Heero with him into the tub. Heero was sitting between Duo's legs. Heero made sure that where Heero sat wouldn't embarrass either of them.
He washed Heero, who made it a point that, in some areas, he wanted to wash himself. Each time he moved, Heero hurt himself, so the bath took a long time. Duo was patient and helped Heero when he needed it, regardless of whether he wanted the help or not.
"Heero, you're clean now. We've been in here long enough. My fingers have soaked up so much water they hurt when I move 'em. You're clean, I'm clean, everyone's clean." Duo said. "Are you trying to be funny?" Heero asked. "It's a possibility." Duo said. "That was awful." Heero said. Duo shook his head. "I know it was. Heero, come on, ya gotta be tired." Duo said, trying to help Heero up. "I can get up, myself." Heero said. "Yeah, and fall back down. Do you KNOW how much that would hurt?" Duo asked. "Fine, you're right." Heero said, allowing Duo to help him up. "God, do you know how much time we could save, if you would just keep that in your head?" Duo asked, gesturing to Heero's head. He didn't mean anything bad by it. Heero looked down, though, as if he were ashamed.
"Now, what's wrong with you?" Duo asked, gently.
"I just...shouldn't argue with you. I'm always being so stubborn. You're only trying to help me, but I just constantly push you away." Heero said.
Duo smiled. "No, Heero. We're both stubborn. I'm no better about that than you are. Besides, you've let me help you a lot. You've trusted me enough to let me carry you, feed you. I'm a patient person. May not always seem that way, but I can be. I know, that you can't help being stubborn, no more than I can." Duo said. He couldn't express what he wanted to say through words. He found that it happened a lot, lately. For someone who could make a living talking the ear off of someone, he didn't know exactly how to phrase what he wanted to say in words.
@@@@@@@@@
Duo ended up having to carry Heero back into the bedroom and put him back to bed, wearing nothing at all. Neither had any clothes. They'd only had one pair of clothing....and that's what they'd had on.
Duo got into the bed with Heero, both blushing some, and called for Chi-Chi.
"You boys need....something?" Chi-Chi asked, as she saw that they didn't seem to have anything on, but the covers from the bed, covering them.
"It's not what it looks like." Duo said, quickly. "Of course, not." Chi-Chi said, forcing a smile. "No, see, I just helped Heero take a bath. He wouldn't wait until he was better, so I decided that the best thing to do was take one, myself, and help him wash, that way we would both get clean and Heero wouldn't hurt himself, too much. Well, we were brought here, but we only have one pair of clothes. We, uh, wanted to know if you had something we could wear or...maybe you could wash our old clothes...which are in the bathroom." Duo said, smiling nervously.
"Oh, I have some clothes that the boys said were intended for you two to wear. I think I'll get you both some pajamas, though, until Heero is better." Chi-Chi said, smiling as she left the room.
"That was embarrassing." Heero stated. "Well...it wasn't SO bad. I mean, she knows we didn't do anything." Duo said. "How could we, when it hurts to even move to wash myself?" Heero asked. "Well, there's no reason to worry about it, since nothing happened." Duo said. "Yeah, you're right." Heero said. Neither felt like saying much about it.
@@@@@@@@@
A few minutes, spent in silence, later, Chi-Chi returned with a pair of blue pajamas for Heero and a pair of crimson and black striped pajamas for Duo. Once Chi-Chi left, making sure that she took the boys' other clothes before she left, Duo helped Heero into his pajamas. Then Duo got into his and sat on a chair near the bed, watching Heero.
"Are we going to do this, again?" Heero asked. "Do what?" Duo asked. "You've done nothing, but watch me ever since I got hurt. You can do other things, you know." Heero said. "I know, but I like watching over you, while you're hurt or sick." Duo said. "Why?" Heero asked. "Well, what are friends for?" Duo asked, in return. That wasn't exactly an answer to anything, but Heero decided to accept it.
@@@@@@@@@
Gohan came in once more that night, to make sure that Heero and Duo didn't need anything. Once they had convinced him that he could tell his mother nothing was wrong and they didn't need a thing, Gohan left them alone, again. Heero dozed every once in awhile, but woke up a few minutes later. Duo wished he would be able to go to sleep and stay asleep for longer than just a few minutes or so.
@@@@@@@@@
"Bulma, I'm telling you, they're made for each other!" Chi-Chi whispered excitedly.
"Alright, alright. I'll help, you knew I would. I always love to get in on match making! We'll start first thing in the morning! Hmm, I should probably go home, now. Vegeta's probably already tearing up the house, because his dinner isn't ready." Bulma said, sighing.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, do you think we should start tomorrow? Maybe we should wait until Heero's better, before we do anything like that." Chi-Chi said, as she thought it over. "I don't know. We'll see tomorrow, when I meet them." Bulma said, smiling.
"I wonder how they act around babies." Chi-Chi said. "That should probably wait until Heero's better. From what you say, just holding little Trunks would probably hurt him. And, we want him better, before we actually start getting them together." Bulma said. "Yeah, I suppose you're right." Chi-Chi said, sighing. She really wanted to see them hold a baby. She just had a feeling that they'd look good holding one. It was really too bad, that they couldn't have children together.
Chi-Chi sighed again, just thinking on that last thought, as Bulma left and Goku came back into the house with the firewood.

"That was embarrassing." Heero stated. "Well...it wasn't SO bad. I mean, she knows we didn't do anything." Duo said. "How could we, when it hurts to even move to wash myself?" Heero asked. "Well, there's no reason to worry about it, since nothing happened." Duo said. "Yeah, you're right." Heero said. Neither felt like saying much about it.
@@@@@@@@@
A few minutes, spent in silence, later, Chi-Chi returned with a pair of blue pajamas for Heero and a pair of crimson and black striped pajamas for Duo. Once Chi-Chi left, making sure that she took the boys' other clothes before she left, Duo helped Heero into his pajamas. Then Duo got into his and sat on a chair near the bed, watching Heero.
"Are we going to do this, again?" Heero asked. "Do what?" Duo asked. "You've done nothing, but watch me ever since I got hurt. You can do other things, you know." Heero said. "I know, but I like watching over you, while you're hurt or sick." Duo said. "Why?" Heero asked. "Well, what are friends for?" Duo asked, in return. That wasn't exactly an answer to anything, but Heero decided to accept it.
@@@@@@@@@
Gohan came in once more that night, to make sure that Heero and Duo didn't need anything. Once they had convinced him that he could tell his mother nothing was wrong and they didn't need a thing, Gohan left them alone, again. Heero dozed every once in awhile, but woke up a few minutes later. Duo wished he would be able to go to sleep and stay asleep for longer than just a few minutes or so.

"Bulma, I'm telling you, they're made for each other!" Chi-Chi whispered excitedly.
"Alright, alright. I'll help, you knew I would. I always love to get in on match making! We'll start first thing in the morning! Hmm, I should probably go home, now. Vegeta's probably already tearing up the house, because his dinner isn't ready." Bulma said, sighing.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, do you think we should start tomorrow? Maybe we should wait until Heero's better, before we do anything like that." Chi-Chi said, as she thought it over. "I don't know. We'll see tomorrow, when I meet them." Bulma said, smiling.
"I wonder how they act around babies." Chi-Chi said. "That should probably wait until Heero's better. From what you say, just holding little Trunks would probably hurt him. And, we want him better, before we actually start getting them together." Bulma said. "Yeah, I suppose you're right." Chi-Chi said, sighing. She really wanted to see them hold a baby. She just had a feeling that they'd look good holding one. It was really too bad, that they couldn't have children together.
Chi-Chi sighed again, just thinking on that last thought, as Bulma left and Goku came back into the house with the firewood.
