Kryptonite 2

 

Duo sat silently fuming, too mad that he had once again fallen for Heero's little tricks to speak. The radio or holding a conversation didn't appeal to him at the moment. He just wanted to get to Trowa and Quatre's beach house. He just wanted to get out of the damn car and away from Heero until he had calmed down. He was chewing on his lip when he felt Heero's hand on his leg, just above his knee. His first reaction was to slap it away but Heero began to squeeze gently.

"Whether or not I knew it at the time is really irrelevant. It's honestly how I feel now and I promise I'm not just trying to put you off by saying that now," Heero said, his voice just above a whisper.

Duo looked at him. Was Heero actually worried that he had gone too far this time? An apology without asking for one was new to him. He sighed and turned back to the window. His words had seethed his anger a great deal but didn't make him feel as happy as when he had first heard them. "I just really hate when you do shit like that, Heero. I'm your lover, not someone you have to feed sugar-coated words to get them to do what you want. It's really starting to hurt when you do that."

"Duo, had I asked, would you've turned the radio down and sat still for a while?" Heero asked.

Duo thought for a minute. "Heh. I guess we're both assholes, huh? But it isn't like that all the time when you do things like that."

"Sorry," was all Heero bothered to retort with. As emotionless as it sounded, Duo knew Heero meant it for all it was worth.

"Well, I'm sorry, too," Duo said.

Silence fell between the two young men as Heero pulled onto the interstate. The silence was bothering Duo but he really wanted to sit still and not turn on the radio. It wouldn't be long before he could get out anyway. As if Heero sensed Duo's tension, he began to squeeze Duo's leg again. Duo, as if remembering that Heero did have his hand on him, suddenly put his hand on top of Heero's and their fingers twined around each other's. Duo squeezed Heero's hand, his fingers moving against Heero's palm. Heero lifted their hands to his lips, carefully pressing a kiss onto the back of Duo's hand.

The kiss sent a rush of desire through Duo's body. It had been nearly a week since they had done anything sexual. Maybe that was where the tension between them was coming from. Duo's eyes spotted a sign displaying all the motels that could be reached upon taking the next exit. The idea hit his mind and was out of his mouth before he thought twice. "You see that sign, Heero?"

"What about it?" Heero asked, letting their hands rest in his lap.

"We can wait another night to see Trowa and Quatre, can't we?" Duo was getting all jittery at the thought of what they could do if they did.

"Hnn?" Heero mumbled, not understanding completely. When Duo's plan hit him, he was quick to change lanes to get to the exit.

{Author's Note: Heero's exit led to a lemon. And since my 3x4 lime got flamed by a 12 year old boy after I warned that it was yaoi and rated it NC- 17, I'm not posting Kryptonite 2b on fanfiction.net. I'm sorry, but I don't want people who don't like this situation accidentally stumbling across the lemon and then saying, "Ewww!!" and telling me how sick it made them. Heero and Duo love each other in this fic, there is nothing "Ewww!!" about it. The lemon scene is not mandatory to read Kryptonite 3. If you want this 2b part though, email me at hisoka@bellsouth.net and I will send you a link to it once I get through writing it. You can all thank that 12 year old for this precaution. ~Dani }
