Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. If I did, you wouldn't get to read this for free. I'd charge, and Relena wouldn't have survived her encounter with Heero.(snickering). So sorry, I know you wished I owned it but it is the property of: Hajime Yadate and Yoshiyuki Tomino. And because of this Relena lives to be bashed another day. Now on with the fic.
Family Ties
Duo turned over on the bed, still pretending he was asleep, he quietly watched Heero work on his laptop.
//God he's so cute. I wonder if he knows what just being around him does to me. I wonder if he ever feels the same.//
"Breakfast is ready!"
Duo made the impression of just waking up as Heero shut down his computer and went downstairs. He quickly got dressed and raced down to breakfast in time to beat Wufei to the first pancake.

The phone rang halfway through breakfast, Duo got up to answer it relinquishing the last pancake to Wufei who was deathglaring him.
// Wasn't that hungry anyway, not with Heero sitting that close to me.//
"Hello?"
"Hello son."
~ ~ ~
//If I could hold him just once I . . . no better not to think such things.//
Heero watched Duo all through breakfast he was so lively and energetic. Duo was fighting Wufei for the last pancake.
//I don't think he's even still hungry. He still has some on his plate.//
The
//What's going on he looks terrified. What could scare him like that.//

Duo turned away from the others and kept his voice low and even.
"What the hell do you want?"
"I'm hurt can't a father call his son. I see you've done very well for yourself. Entire world knows you , or of you. Friendly with the vice foreign minister Darlin. Ya even got a extremely rich friend putting you up."
Duo smiled.
(I would point out that this is not a smile you would want directed your way.)0
"I never do anything in halves. I'll ask you again what do you want."
"Well seeing how well you've done for yourself. I was planning on seeing if you would mind showing me your gundam schematics."
"Like hell I will."
"I was thinking you'd say something like that. I have someone here who wants to say hi."
"Duo?"
"Justin," Duo whispered.
"Justin what are you doing there?"
"He found me Duo. I couldn't hide from him. I'm sorry."
"It's ok Justin are you all right?"
"I think my leg's broken. Duo please help me he'll kill me just like..."
"I know," Duo broke in. "I know, don't worry I'll get you. Put him back on."
"Well rethought my little request."
"How do I know you won't kill him?"
"Trust me, would I kill my son for no reason?"
"Yes."
"Ha ha ha, you'll still have to trust me. Meet me at the house, give me the schematics and you'll get your brother unharmed. Well, at least more than he already is. I had to punish him for leaving, you see. Good by . . .`Duo.'"
Duo hung up. He stood their, for how long he didn't know, then he turned around and went upstairs to pack. He would save his brother.
