Oh, gods...it's been awhile since I wrote any of this.
Sorry it took so long everyone. Real life rose up to bite me in the ass, and I apologize for making you wait.
Warnings...umm...shonen ai, yaoi, probably not the best writing I've ever done. Oh, yeah...this one WILL be primarily from Duo's viewpoint, so if that scares you, GO AWAY!
Duo: Why should I scare them?
Don't ask...
The lights were out as Duo pulled into the garage of the house he and his lover had built.
"19 hours in the office...god...My back feels like plywood, and my butt feels like stone..."
He knew no-one could hear him, but sometimes griping about life made it a little easier to deal with.
"And Heero's probably been in bed for hours...I didn't even get to tell him Good Night."
Quietly, the man who still considered himself Shinigami slipped into the common room/kitchen of his house, flipping a lightswitch, and found a note on top of a reheatable container.
"Duo, I know you'll be hungry when you get home, so here's dinner. Wake me up when you come to bed, so I can give you a good-night kiss. -Heero."
"Aww...hon. I'll make sure to."
Dinner was beef teriyaki, tempura'd vegetables, and soba noodles. Duo could barely make himself wait for the microwave's ::Ding:: before ripping the container open. Heero was learning to be an excellent cook, and Duo had to admit that he'd probably be asking Heero to take over at least part of the household cooking duties. Hee-chan loved his cooking, but Duo loved his cooking even more.
"Maybe I'll cook during the week, and he can cook Fridays and the Weekend...that'll give him time to do the fancier dishes he likes, anyways."
The food left the plate like wheat from a scythe, and Duo quickly rinsed the dishes and set the in the dishwasher. It began running almost immediately.
"You pre-programmed it again, Heero...can't leave you alone with computers for a minute, can I?"
Duo quietly slipped up the stairs and into their bedroom, pausing as he opened the door.
Heero was sleeping in the bed, curving towards where Duo usually slept, his arms outstretched towards the empty space on the king-sized bed, reaching for his missing lover.
There were times in his life where Duo Maxwell simply didn't know what to say. This was one of them. Love and tears welled up in his eyes, until a single tear streaked down his cheek. The fact that Heero was comfortable enough to stay asleep, despite the sound of the garage opener, microwave, and dishwasher, not to mention the door opening, said just how safe he felt in this house.
And his position on the bed said "I love you" better than words ever could.
Duo slipped out of his clothing quietly, then slipped into bed, moving Heero's arms into an embrace.
Heero stirred softly
"mmm...Duo?"
"Yeah, Hee-chan."
"Ai shiteru, Duo."
"Me too. I love you, too."
They kissed softly, drifting into sleep in each other's arms.
End Part 4
Fini!
Yes, I'll write part five at some point here...
