ON WITH THE SHOW!!!!!!
Wind Blown Destinies-Chapter Eleven
By: ~*Deathwing*~
Duo woke up with a start. It was dark outside and he was drenched with sweat.
"Heero?" he whispered into the darkness.
"You're awake."
"Heero!" Duo looked around in the pitch black. "Where are you? This isn't funny, Hee………urmph!" He felt the familiar warmth of his love's lips press up against his. They kissed desperately for a countless number of heartbeats. When finally they parted, Duo's eyes had adjusted to the dark.
"Heero…" he traced the dark haired prince's jaw line with a slender finger until he reached the bluish purple bruise under his eye. "I'm sorry." Heero grabbed Duo's hand and kissed it. "Don't be."
Violet gazed into the cobalt depths, uncovering the kind innocence that they held. So fierce and cold, yet he felt warmth when he saw them. "I missed you."
Heero pushed the braided boy backward into the pillows, lying down beside him and wrapping his arms around his waist, pulling him close.
"Duo…"
"Hmm, Heero?"
"I love you."
Duo closed his eyes. "Are you sure?"
"Yes…I'm sure," Heero replied softly, planting soft kisses along Duo's cheek.
"I love you too."
"Thank you."
Duo snuggled deeper into Heero's arms and inhaled his smell. Heavenly. He yawned. Even though he had just woken up, he felt tired. Forcing all other thoughts out of his mind, the young prince closed his eyes and soon drifted into a deep sleep.

"Duo, wake up!"
"Nnnn?"
"Come on, hurry up!"
"Heero?"
"Yes, but wake up!"
Duo reluctantly opened his eyes to find Heero staring down intently at him. "What time is it?" he moaned.
"Duo, look, please, I need to tell you something!"
"Fine…" he sat up, clawing his hair out of his face and turning to face Heero. "What?"
Duo noticed Heero was dressed extremely formally, as if for a ceremony or…
"This about the wedding isn't it?"
Heero looked away. "Yes…"
The amethystine eyed prince sighed. There goes Quatre's wonderful plan. There goes Trowa's hopes of a bigger kingdom. There goes Carly and Fannie's cute couple fantasies. Here comes Relena's wish to be queen. What a total failure.
"It's okay, Heero, I understand." Duo looked up hopefully. "You still love me, right?"
"Yes, of course I do but…"
"No, really Heero, this is what you have to do. Please don't let your kingdom down because of me. I mean, think about it, we weren't really meant to be anyway. Somehow, the wind must have blown us together because who would have ever thought this would happen? I'll always love you, Heero. Make me…and this kingdom proud…your father too. I hope you're happy," Duo smiled sadly. "I'll be around, you'll find me sometimes, in the town, on the top of a hill, anywhere, really. But I'll always be watching you, Heero, so don't mess up."
"Duo…I…"
"See here, Heero, if you're trying to apologize, you don't need to. What do you have to be sorry about? Me, on the other hand, I guess I should say sorry. For many things. If I had never met you, this would have never happened. I'm so sorry for screwing up your life so much. I will tell you honestly that I don't like Relena but I'm sure she'll make a good queen." Duo had second thoughts about his last sentence but he decided not to bring it up right then.
"No, Duo, it's not that…" Heero took a deep breath. "I was hoping that…well…Duo…I." He closed his eyes. "Will you marry me?"
Duo sputtered, falling over back onto the bed. "W-what?!"
"Will you marry me…?" Heero repeated, a little more sure of himself this time.
"H-heero, I-I…" Duo stared wide-eyed up at the ceiling. "But what about King Jaye? And…and Relena?"
"Forget about them for now, Duo, I need your answer," Heero's eyes pleaded hopefully. "I love you, Duo…"
"Heero!" Duo flung himself at his lover, hugging him tightly. "Yes, Heero, I will…I'm yours…forever…" He felt Heero slip something onto his finger. "Then, I believe this belongs to you."
Duo sat stunned, staring at the ring that now adorned his finger. It was a plain gold band, decorated by three amethyst studs. "Heero, it's beautiful…"
"Not as beautiful as you," Heero growled, knocking Duo back into the pillows and kissing him fiercely. Duo moaned as Heero's tongue ravished his mouth, invading him with unimaginable skill. Heero broke the kiss, panting.
"Now, let's get you dressed."

Relena tapped her foot impatiently. What was taking Heero so long? She smoothed her long gown for the forty eighth time and glanced down the hall. The whole town was gathered outside! Heero!!!! Why couldn't he learn to be punctual?!
After tending to her gown for the fifty-second time, she saw him, or rather, *them*. There was Heero, striding down the hall, Duo by his side, arm around his waist.
"Heero! There you are!" Relena eyed Duo scathingly. "What is the meaning of this?! You should be in the dungeon!"
"Relena, go back to Sank, now." Heero ordered coldly.
"But, Heero! What about the wedding?!"
"I'm never getting married to you, Relena, now go!"
"Then what about all the people who are gathered outside?" Relena retorted.
"I never said there wouldn't be a wedding, I just said I wasn't getting married to you!" Heero pulled Duo closer causing him to purr softly. "I'm marrying Duo."
Relena's eyes got as big as watermelons. "That's not true! Your father would never agree, Heero!"
"We've already paid a visit to the king," Duo smiled. "And he agreed whole heartedly."
"That's right Relena, you are no longer allowed in this kingdom. You have until sunset to take you and all your trash out of here, understand?" Heero snapped.
Relena narrowed her eyes but started down the hall towards her chambers anyway.
"She didn't take that too well," Duo observed.
"I never expected her to. Come, love, we have a wedding to attend."
Duo smiled and followed Heero to the door.
~*~
The wedding was the most joist event that had happened in Sumpaaria for a long time. The whole kingdom had reported to witness this event. They didn't expect Duo of course, but he made the kingdom more happy then they had ever been. Quatre and Trowa were red with wine and laughter. Quatre would often go up to Duo and start shouting about how he had successfully completed the plan. Then the blonde would go back and brag through the crowd about how he had helped the two get together. Everyone had to agree that he had had a little too much wine.
Even Carly and Fannie has showed up, with a bouquet of flowers in which they took apart and decorated Duo's hair with. The party was followed by a grand feast which was then followed by more celebrating. The festivities carried on until midnight.
~*~
Over the years, Duo proved to be a very coopertive co-ruler. He made plans with Heero to rebuild Lethian and combine the two kingdoms. King Jaye passed away a few weeks after the wedding. The doctors said he was smiling even as his life slowly drained away. Relena was never seen again although word had it she married a snotty prince and they were living rather horrible together.
Heero and Duo on the other hand, loved each other's presence. They often took long walks through town. All the townsfolk agreed on one thing:
They lived happily ever after.
