Hungry Eyes-Eric Carmen
Duo
whistled jauntily to himself as he sauntered his way through the park. He'd
been over-swept with the intense desire to relive his childhood and had headed
straight for the park. About twenty minutes past dusk, the park was nearly
deserted and Duo had the domain to himself.
Realizing
this, a wide grin spread over his face as he headed to the swings. No one was
watching, he could act like a little kid again. As Duo ascended the swing and
began to push his legs back and forth, he wasn't aware of the black eyes that
glowed like embers at him from the darkness.
//I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feelin' that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You're mine tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes//
Wufei
wasn't sure why he was there. He only knew he'd been lying on his bed, reading,
when he'd felt the unexplainable and irresistible urge to go here. And
then…he'd seen Duo. Acutely aware of the strange emotions tumbling around
inside of him and of the fact he saw Duo as more than a close friend, he'd
followed him anyway.
Now,
watching Duo in what was clearly a private moment, Wufei couldn't help but
feeling like a bit of a stalker. But he was unable to take his off of the boy
he'd looked at for so long…
//One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes//
Duo was
beginning to get the uncomfortable feeling someone was watching him. Trying to
ignore the feeling, he pumped higher and higher, getting dizzy, as he swung
higher to the star-lit sky. Gasping sharply as the swing set began to jump in
the ground, causing the bumps children called 'cherrybumps', he fell.
//I feel the magic between you and I
I wanna hold you so hear me out
I wanna show you what love's all about
Darlin' tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes//
Before
Wufei was aware of what was happening, he was over at Duo's side. The American
was on his hands and knees, gasping for breath. "Are you okay?" Wufei asked
sharply, kneeling on the ground beside Duo.
A sudden
flush radiated in Duo's face as he mumbled, "yeah. Just got the wind knocked
outta me."
"You sure?"
Wufei persisted as Duo gasped for breath a few moments later.
"You can't
kill Death," Duo joked feebly, grinning at Wufei. "Anyway, I think my pride's
the only thing that's been severely damaged."
"Not your
mouth for sure," Wufei grunted in distaste.
//One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes//
After a
moment, Duo managed to get t his feet, still laughing at himself. As the two
men stood, gazing at each other in the moonlight, Duo asked, "How come you're
at the park?"
"I don't
know," Wufei, said honestly, "Why are you here?"
"I felt the
need to connect with my inner child," Duo grinned. After a moment, he said a
bit more seriously, "I'm glad you're here though."
//I feel the magic between you and I
I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With those hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise
I need you to see
This love was meant to be//
Wufei
shifted uncomfortably under Duo's open gaze. Duo couldn't know anything about
what he felt-could he? Wufei swallowed audibly as Duo closed the distance
between them. Nearly touching Wufei, Duo whispered, "It's all right."
Wufei
looked up suddenly and his ebony eyes met Duo's violet ones. "Wu-Wufei?" Duo
asked gently, not quite reading the look in Wufei's eyes.
Wufei
leaned forwarded then and gently, almost clumsily, kissed Duo.
//I've got hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With those hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise
With my hungry eyes//
Duo melted
into the kiss, shocked by the force Wufei was kissing him with. One hand
unknowingly reached up to intertwine with the fine black strands. Wufei ended
the kiss as suddenly as it had began and Duo kept his eyes closed, a soft sigh
of disappointment escaping his lips unbeknownst to him.
//I need...//
Wufei
choked quietly as Duo's eyes opened and he asked softly, "What was that for?"
"Sorry?"
Wufei whispered quickly before backing away from Duo and retreating into the
welcoming darkness of the night.
"Wufei!
Come back!" Duo yelled after his withdrawing figure.
No answer
reached him and Duo sighed heavily.
//Hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With my...//
Duo stared
at the spot Wufei had stood, long after he had left. Suddenly he sighed and
said, a slight smile on his lips, "It's getting there. Slowly, but surely, it's
getting there."
//Hungry eyes//
