Sighing I turned toward the bathroom door, waiting for any sign that Heero was going to come out soon. Seeing none, I turned back over and closed my eyes, snuggling against my pillow. /It still smells like him.../ I couldn't help but think of him again, everything still carried his scent. I remembered once again his smile before I drifted off to sleep.

Neatly tiptoeing up the stairs, I reached the apartment door that I now knew so well. I sighed, reaching into a pocket in my pants. After fishing around a bit I pulled out a small silvery key, which I squeezed lovingly for a moment before inserting it into the lock and silently opening the door. /Ah.../ I saw him laying on the bed, amid a mound of clothing and sheets, still fully dressed except for his shoes.
Smiling, all thought left my head as I stealthily slipped over to him; not an easy task considering that his part of the room was covered in everything imaginable. It almost looked like he even went out and bought more stuff just to put it on the floor. Somehow I made it, though, quiet as a thief, only my quarry wasn't any material item. When I reached the bed I slipped off my shoes and softly lay down next to him.
I snuggled up against his back, wrapping an arm around his waist and gently placed my chin on his shoulder. Pulling him closer to me, hugging him tightly I whispered into his ear, "I've missed you, my Duo-chan."

Waking suddenly, covered in sweat and heart racing I tried to sit straight up, but found that I could not move. /Oh my god... what the hell??/ My eyes were as wide as Frisbees as I breathed heavily, hyperventilating a bit until I looked down... and recognized the arm clasping my waist.
Suddenly it occurred to me that I hadn't screamed. A sudden thought, with no real significance... yet I wondered why. /....my Duo-chan?/ Ha. That was why... subconsciously I already knew who it was. I smiled with relief and lay back down.
About a second later I was bolt upright, this time with enough strength to break the hold that kept me horizontal before.
"Quatre!" I turned to face the blond lying there on my bed, smiling up at me.

I had startled him. I hadn't meant to, but apparently I hadn't quite remembered how heavily he could sleep. I remembered that he often slept lightly and so my whispering wouldn't shock him so much. But this time, it seems, he was very deeply asleep. Perhaps he'd thought I was an intruder, bent on ravaging his beautiful body. Well... I was. /Hehee.../ But when he finally realised it was me and turned, I simply smiled. I really had missed him, even though it had only been three days.
He looked very surprised, usually I call first before coming over. But I had been calling all day with no answer, of course I had come and make sure my Love was alright.
"Hello!" I bounced up and sat cross-legged in front of him. He continued to watch me, mouth wide open as if he were still in shock from my failed surprise. "Duo?" I waved a hand in front of his face. Gazing into those tire-sized cobalt blue eyes, I could only do one thing: I changed position so that I was on my knees, wrapped my arms around his neck, and pressed my lips against his. Pushing him back into the sheets, I deepened the kiss, finally getting a response from him. He placed his hands on my hips and pulled me down with him, kissing back with an equal passion. Draping a sheet over ourselves, we quickly undressed.

I had no idea what to say. /Quatre..../ I simply stared at him, so full of guilt I could hardly move. Either he didn't notice, or didn't -want- to notice; he seemed very happy at seeing me again. I tried to will myself to at least pretend to smile, but my expression wouldn't change. I wanted to crawl under the bed and die.
Suddenly he was kissing me, and my body reacted long before my mind did. Of course, it was used to this. Not resisting at all, my body let Quatre lay it down on the sheets, his kiss finally awakening my mind. I wanted so desperately to push him away... to tell him all that had happened in the three days since we'd last been together. I couldn't, however. As always, he'd made me so weak. And all I could do was give myself over to the passion he caused to well up within me, finally letting it spill over, calling his name over and over again.

"I love you." I'd told him as he lay next to me, his head on my chest, still panting.
"I love you, too." He had said back, punctuating the sentence with a kiss to my collarbone. I wrapped my arms around him tightly and held him closer. Wrapping his own arms around my waist he clung, closing his eyes and sighing contentedly. "I love you so very much..." he was whispering into my neck as he fell asleep. Grasping a sheet I covered the both of us again and closed my eyes too, drifting into a sated sleep, vaguely noticing that a noise- shower perhaps?- was coming from the bathroom. Groggily I decided that it must have been Heero, taking his nightly shower before bed, then I was asleep.
