Kryptonite 5
Heero looked at Duo. Never underestimate the power of stupidity, he thought. "You made the message, baka," he said.
Duo half-laughed. "Oh yeah," he said, remembering the message he had made for the answering machine at home, giving the number to Quatre's place if it was an emergency. "Well I don't care. I've got nothing to say to Hilde. Nothing at all." He could still feel the hurt in his heart that she had caused him. He looked up at Heero and actually saw that he looked concerned. He shook his head and kept eating.
Heero kicked Duo gently under the table. He looked upset and Heero didn't like that. Instead of looking up at him, Duo merely ran his boot up Heero's bare leg playfully. Heero shook his head slightly and took a drink of his tea.
"I was just relaying the message. Whether you call her or not is up to you, you know!" Quatre laughed.
"I thought you and her were dating," Trowa commented softly.
"Obviously not!" Duo snapped.
Trowa's eyebrows raised and he stayed quiet.
Duo sighed. "Sorry. Really, I'm sorry. It's a sore subject so let's just talk about something else, shall we?"

Much later that afternoon found Duo and Heero on the beach. A shirtless Heero was sitting up holding Duo that was lying down with his head against Heero's chest. They were watching as the sun slipped down into the ocean waters, the sun's rays causing the clouds to seem pink and lavender against the yellow and blue sky. Each young man was enjoying the vision, content to hold onto one another. Trowa and Quatre had drove into town to buy a rug that Quatre insisted the den needed.
Duo was still feeling bad about snapping at Trowa. Trowa didn't accept his apology or say anything else at dinner and Duo was sure he had taken Quatre into town just to get away from him. He looked at the sky and tried to let go of his hurt. He looked up above him at the sky to see if he could see any stars yet and found Heero was gazing down at him. "What?" he asked, smiling slightly for his lover.
"Why aren't you with Hilde anymore?" Heero asked blatantly. Both young men had been living together in a nice apartment when Heero had been dating Relena and Duo had been dating Hilde. Then one day, Duo had moved in with Hilde. After Relena had dumped him, Duo had quietly moved back in one day, upset over Hilde. They found comfort for their hearts in each other's arms and hadn't really talked about circumstances before. But now that Hilde was trying to get in touch with Duo and Duo seemed upset over the matter, Heero had to know.
Duo huffed. "Because we broke up," he said plainly.
"I mean it. Tell me why," Heero said.
"Why aren't you with Relena? Lil miss queen of the world decide she was too good for you?" Duo asked.
"Yes," Heero answered.
Duo sat shocked, not sure what to say. It had been a joke, not something serious. He sat up out of Heero's arms and turned around to look at him. "You know I didn't mean it like that."
Heero nodded. "Tell me about Hilde."
Duo got quiet and began picking at his braid. He began recalling earlier that morning when Heero had braided it for him rather than think on Hilde. Heero's hands closed over his, pulling them away from his braid and holding them. Duo looked into his deep blue eyes and saw that Heero was concerned. "I don't even know where to start."
"Was it something you did to her?" Heero asked.
Duo nodded and looked down at their hands. "I guess. Her and I would make love sometimes three or four times a day. One morning in a fit of passion I told her I loved her. I really thought I did. And it just seemed like the right thing to say." His voice got quiet as he spoke. "I met you for lunch that day. When I got back, she had my stuff all packed up. Told me she didn't need someone that was gonna love her. She just needed someone for sex and if I was going to fall in love then I needed to go elsewhere."
Heero watched as Duo's eyes closed. If he started crying, he was going to go find Hilde and kill her. "Well, don't worry with it. You have me to love now."
Duo grinned. "Yeah, I know. I'm glad, too. You're much more fun in bed than she was." He looked up at Heero again. "Don't let that get out, okay? About her leaving me for that reason."
Heero was caught off guard by Duo's words. "Am I really more fun?" he had to ask. His heart was pounding, Relena's words in his memory.
"Hell ya! She'd just lay there at times and she sure as hell couldn't give a decent." Duo stopped himself and laughed. "I like being with you, Heero. I'm glad she gave me up. Now what did lil miss queenie do to you, since you're in such a chatty mood all of a sudden?"
"It's complicated."
Duo frowned. "You ain't getting away with that."
"What do you think Hilde wants?"
"Doesn't matter. I ain't got anything for her. Now quit avoiding my question."
"Am I too rough with you sometimes?" Heero asked, as if he were still avoiding it.
Duo sighed, ready to slap Heero. "Nothing I can't handle. I'm not a made of fine china, you know," he said. When Heero stayed silent, realization of what his lover was trying to tell him hit him. Maybe he wasn't made of fine china, but Relena certainly was.
"At times she'd say I was so rough I was hurting her. I never heard her complain until afterwards. Then one night, she asked me to stop right when I was releasing. I left her when she accused me of raping her for not stopping," Heero said, looking Duo in the eyes.
Duo sat for a moment, trying to figure out if it was just a joke or if Heero was serious. "I always thought Relena was a stupid bitch." he said. "Look, love, don't you worry about getting too rough with me. If you ever get too rough for my liking, I'm strong enough to let you know. I'm not saying you can start hitting me."
Heero interrupted him. "I'm not into that! I just."
"You just like your sex as intense as you can get it," Duo said, grinning.
"I don't mean to hurt you if I do. I didn't mean to hurt her," Heero said.
Duo actually thought he heard remorse in Heero's voice. It grabbed at his heart and he couldn't help but reach over and hug him. Heero's lips kissed his neck gently and Duo pressed a few kisses to the side of Heero's face. "We've got each other now, right? I can tell you I love you all I want and you can be as rough as you want with me," he whispered in Heero's ear.
Heero's arms tightened around him and Duo felt needed. "The things she yelled at me haunt me, Duo," he said.
"I know the feeling. What else did she say to you besides the rape thing?"
"She said I couldn't kiss," Heero muttered.
Duo pulled away. He fought a laugh as he realized why Heero hardly ever kissed him on the mouth and why when he did, it was short lived. Duo took Heero's face in his hand and kissed him full on the mouth. He pulled away when he realized Heero wasn't kissing him back. "Don't that that bitch take away your confidence. Kiss me, Heero."
Heero, in a fit of bravery caused by Duo's words, sealed his mouth over Duo's and kissed him as passionately as he could muster. His tongue wouldn't be patient and thrust itself into Duo's mouth. Duo's hands were soon holding his head in place as he pulled away.
Duo grinned. "She may have a point there, hon," he said.
"Relena was my first, Duo. I don't have much experience. I didn't have time to woo girls as I was training to be a soldier." His words sounded sad.
Duo shook his head slightly. "Then just relax. It's not that hard." Duo put his lips back to his. This time, Duo's hands cupped around his jaw, his fingers carefully moving it. Duo pulled away to whisper, "Easy, Heero," onto his lips.
Heero followed Duo's actions as if they were well written instructions. Soon Duo's fingers were on his neck instead of his jaw. "I must be doing it right," Heero thought as Duo's tongue licked Heero's lips. He smiled within the kiss, pulling Duo closer to him and kissing him even deeper. "I fucking love you, Duo," he thought.
