Mastery and Servitude;
Part Two ~Peaches~
By Lady AngelFiren

Heero followed Duo closely off the shuttle, fighting the urge to cry and hide in a corner with all of his strength. Duo was acting so different from Master J, Heero never knew what to expect or how to make Duo happy. He had tried, and Duo just seemed aggravated. Presently, Master Duo was leading him through the L2 spaceport. This one was different than L1's, it seemed older, shabbier. But Heero really didn't care what his surroundings were, as long as Duo didn't plan on leaving him here.

Butwhat if Master Duo was planning on leaving him here? He had already been so disobedient and badly behaved, surely Duo wouldn't want to keep him. Heero kept his eyes on Duo's back as he followed him through the crowds, trying his very hardest to stop when Duo stopped and turn when Duo turnedthe port was so crowded, Heero kept lagging behind. He looked up to follow Duo and realized that he was no longer behind his Master.

Heero widened his eyes and looked all around himself for that tail of long brown hair that marked Duo, and he didn't see it anywhere. He was right, Duo had left him hereor maybe it had been a test of some sort, and he had failed, so Duo purposely lost him in the crowd. Or maybe he was just too stupid to follow Master Duo.

Heero looked around again, still not seeing Duo anywhere. He felt a twinge of panic run through him when he realized that he was all alone with no Master in a place he'd never been to before. Heero backed into a wall and jumped in fright. Whirling around and seeing that it was just a wall, he tried to catch his breath as he leaned against the cool metal and continued to search the crowd. Duo was nowhere to be found, and surely he would have noticed that Heero was gone already, unless he'd been trying to lose him. Heero sighed and sank down so that he was curled with his back to the wall and his arms around his knees. He bit his lip and rested his chin on his knees. He felt the fabric of the jeans Master Duo was letting him wear, and it made him sad; he'd taken so much and been so disobedient, and now he was upset when he wasn't wanted? No, that didn't make any sense, Heero knew he had no right to be upset about something that was entirely his own fault.

Unfortunately, Heero couldn't stop the slow creep of tears as they wet his cheeks. He watched the legs of the people that passed him; none of them were Master Duo, none of them even batted an eye at him, and he didn't know what to do. After all, who wanted a disobedient slave who had managed to get left behind in a spaceport? It didn't make sense.

A hand clamping down on Heero's shoulder brought him back to where he was. He turned around to see who was touching him and what they wanted, but, of course, he did not meet their eyes. It was a woman, whoever it was. She was about his height, and he could see a faint smile on her lips.

"Uhm, hi. You look like someone my friend Duo is looking foryou wouldn't happen to be Heero Yuy, would you? I just bumped into Duo a few minutes ago, he's freaking out 'cause he said you got lost. Don't ask me how he thinks a grown man would get lost following him through the spaceport, but come with me, he's looking for you too, we don't want you to get lost againI'm Hilde by the way. You are Heero, aren't you?"

Heero stared at the chipper young womanhe didn't ever remember talking to a woman before. He nodded at her questionwas she a Mistress? Did he serve her because she was Master Duo's friend? He wasn't sure, so he thought that nodding would be an appropriate response. She took his hand and led him more slowly through the crowds, looking back to make sure he was still there every little bit. Mistress Hilde had been excited and cheerful when she had first talked to him, but every time she looked at him, she seemed more disturbed, or upset, or worried.

"DUO!" Hilde shouted suddenly, scaring Heero so much that he dropped to his knees behind her and whimpered unintentionally as he tried not to get stepped on by all the people around him.

~o0O0o0O0o~

Duo swore under his breath when he heard Hilde call his name, she probably wanted to see if he'd found Heero yetwhich he hadn't. Duo had no idea where Heero was, but the idea of someone as incapable and defenseless as his friend, roaming the spaceport alone sent chills up his spine. But, then again, maybe Hilde had found him.

Duo went over to Hilde, and when he saw Heero kneeling at her feet, shaking, he ran through the crowd to the pair.

"Heero? Are you ok? What happened? Its ok to get up Heero, you're going to get stepped on."

Duo watched Heero get up then move to stand behind him. Turning to face the other man, Duo put a hand on his shoulder, growling when Heero winced fearfully away. He leaned close to the shivering creature so his voice could be heard over the din of the crowd.

"Its ok Heero, you're ok. I'm sorry I let you get lost, I'll be more careful now. This is my friend Hilde, she calls me sometimes, but I haven't seen her in awhile. Let's go home, I don't think its good for you to be in the spaceport anymore, there are too many people here. Is that ok?"

" You still want me Master Duo? I was so disobedient, I thought you wanted to leave me here because you were angry. Thank you for finding me Master, I understand if you want to beat me for being stupid, I will try not to do it again."

Duo stared at Heero for a second, then noticed Hilde staring too. He had to fix this, he was not a slave driver! "Heero, I already told you, I'm not your master, and I would never, ever hit you, no matter what you did. You're my friend, I want to help you, ok? We're going back to my place and we'll get you food and clothes and some rest, and I'm not going to let anyone hurt you."

Hilde was staring with her mouth wide open. "Duo? What the hell is going on?"

"Hilde, I know this looks really strange, and I guess it is really strange. I didn't do this to him, it was J. I'm not really sure what he did, but I found him on L1 chained up naked like a dog. Don't even ask why I was there. J's dead, and Heero thinks I'm his 'master' nowI don't really know what to do, so I'm taking him home with me. I wanna try and fix what was done, he doesn't even remember me, or the war, or anything before the last five years. It sucks, but at least I figure I could help him out. I'll call you in a few days and tell you what's going on, I gotta go catch a cab now, bye!"

Duo took Heero's hand and didn't even wait for the stunned woman to reply, he just sped off through the crowd, hailed a taxi and made sure Heero was buckled in safely before sitting beside him and fastening his own seat belt. The cab drove away with them both in it, and Duo leaned his head back against the seat, sighing tiredly. It had been awhile since he'd had any real sleep; the few hours he'd managed on the shuttle did little, because he'd spent most of his time thinking about the man sitting beside him. Heero was so terrified of everything, this was like having a child to take care of. Duo wasn't sure he could do it. A soft voice beside him brought him out of his thoughts.

"Master Duo?"

"Yeah Heero?"

"Thank you for not leaving me at the spaceport, I-I'm grateful."

"S'fine Heero, I wouldn't leave you all alone like that. We're almost there, should be another minute or two."

The cab pulled into the drive and Heero got out first, then went around the car and opened the door for Duo before he even had a chance to undo his seatbelt. Duo paid the driver and stepped out of the car. He led Heero into a tall building and they took the elevator to the nineteenth floor. It was getting late in the day, the colony lights were dimming in synthesized sunset. Heero simply followed Duo and waited for him to give a command.

Duo finally got to his door and unlocked it, then stepped in, Heero following a few steps behind him. He locked the door again and kicked of his shoes. He realized that Heero had no shoes on. How the hell had he gone all through the spaceport and on the shuttle and everywhere else with no shoes? Someone was bound to have noticed thatoh well. Maybe luck was with Duo Maxwell for once in his life. Heero was just standing, looking alert and ready to do something. Duo wanted to sink into the couch and sleep for a year.

"Ok Heero, this is where I live. Its small and messy and I don't have a lot of furniture or anything, but it'll have to do. I am about ready to faint from being tired and stressed, so I think I'd like to sleep. Are you hungry or tired or cold? Do you have to go to the bathroom? Is there anything you need right now?"

"Where is the washroom Master? Would you like me to wear these clothes or undress for you?"

"Undress for me?"

"I can pleasure you any way you want. If you are tired, I could simply give you a relaxing massage, or a foot rub. If you would like me to make you some tea or read something to you, I could do that too. Or if you want sex, I can do that too. Anything you want Master Duo. However I do need to use the washroom quite badly."

Duo stared at Heero for a minute. He couldn't get over what had happened to the strong, quiet guy that used to be his friend and co-pilot. NowDuo didn't know how to talk to Heero without making things sound like orders. Ah well, maybe after a good night's sleep he'd wake up and realize that Heero had been a figment of his twisted imagination after all. For now, best to humour his hallucinated friend.

"How about a tour of the apartment" Duo led Heero through his home pointing out where everything was. Finally, after Heero got to pee and he knew where everything was, they ended up in the bedroom. Duo's whole room was black. Black walls, black comforter on the queen-size bed, black dresser and night-table, black curtains, ceiling, carpetthe only thing that wasn't black were his sheets, they were red. Duo looked at his room and realized he didn't even remember painting it or buying everything that was in it. He looked on his night table and found a lamp, but the light was almost pointless in the dark room. When the hell had he done this?

//Jesus, I'm losing my mindI know I would remember painting my whole room black, I'm not crazy!//

"Okand this is my room. You can share the bed with me or sleep on the couch, whatever you want. It's a big bed, I don't mind. Where did you sleep before?"

"Before? With Master J, so that I would be there if he wanted or needed anything at any time. I will do the same for you Master Duo, as long as that is what you want."

Duo sat on the bed and gestured for Heero to sit beside him. "Heero, would it be possible for you not to call me master anymore? I am not your master, you don't have one; you're free. You are your own person, and you can do what you want with your life. You don't have to serve people, that is not fair, and its illegal."

Heero looked at Master Duo fearfully. He wasfree? That didn't make any sense at all, it just meant that he hadn't been doing a good enough job. And what could he possibly do with his life but serve people who were better, smarter and more worthy than himself? Heero could not make himself believe that he was anything but a slave, and he desperately needed to be needed by someone, particularly Master Duo. Maybe Duo didn't know that he could be useful. Maybe Duo wasn't accustomed to having someone serve him, or he liked to do things for himself, or maybe it was something else, but Heero was absolutely determined to make Duo need him.

"Yes Duo. I believe you need to sleep, is it ok if I come and sleep with you in a minute? I would like to get prepared"

"That's great Heero, feel free to stay up or whatever, I just need to sleep. Night." Duo crawled under his covers and was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

Heero watched his Master sleep for a few minutes. Duo was obviously exhausted, it wouldn't do to try something now, when Duo would be grumpy and sleepy. Heero peeled off the clothes Duo had given him and folded them neatly. He placed them on the floor beside the black dresser, then carefully crawled onto the foot of the bed, making sure that he didn't disturb Master Duo. Heero told himself to wake up at five AM, surely that would be enough time to make breakfast. He curled into a fetal ball and fell asleep, making sure he would hear Duo's voice if he called for something in the night.

~o0O0o0O0o~

The next morning at exactly five AM, Heero opened his eyes. He had been shivering from being naked and cold, but the warm bed under him took the edge off of his chill. He snuggled into the warmth for a minute, then looked at his sleeping Master and decided it was time to get up.

Heero got off of the bed quietly, the went into the kitchen and looked for something he could make for Duo to eat. There wasn't much food in the apartment, but there was everything he needed to make bacon, eggs, and toast, with home fries on the side. Heero made the food and put it in the oven on low heat so it would stay warm until Duo got up. He found some orange juice and some milk, got a tray, and set everything on dishes so he could bring it to Duo. He also made a pot of coffee and reminded himself to ask Duo how he liked it.

Heero went back into the black bedroom and opened the curtains, letting some early morning light filter inward, illuminating Duo's sleeping form. Heero looked at the other man, wondering what would be the best way to wake him. Pleasure was how Master J had liked to be awoken, but then, Master J was very different from Master Duo. Master J beat him if he made a mistake or forgot something or if he spoke out of turn. Heero had tried not to do these things in front of Duo, but he had slipped up, and Duo had not hit him yet. It confused Heero, but he was determined to make this a most enjoyable day for his master, to prove to him that he was not useless in any area, and that he could do anything Duo asked of him and more.

There was the question of whether or not Duo would want Heero to touch him, however. Master J had liked that, but he never hesitated to inform Heero what a filthy, pathetic creature he was, and that he should be pleased to even be allowed to serve someone. Master Duo was so wonderful, and nice to him, Heero did not want to soil him or disgust him with his touch. Heero opted to bring the breakfast into the room for Duo and set it down on his night-table, then kneel on the floor beside the bed in case Master Duo wanted anything.

~o0O0o0O0o~

Duo groaned and squinted his eyes at the warm, simulated sunlight that spilled over him from the window. A delicious smell floated to him and his stomach rumbled unintentionally. When was the last time he'd eaten? He thought back, and remembered what had happened the day before. Naw, that had to be a dreamwhat the hell was that delicious smell?

Duo sat up, his hair sticking out of its braid and his bangs plastered to one side of his face. He yawned wide and looked around his black room. When in the hell was the last time he'd even slept in this room? Usually it was just crash on the couch at whatever ungodly hour and wake up three days later. He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, what was going on? A soft voice from the floor beside his bed woke Duo up a bit more.

"Good morning Master Duo. Did you sleep well?"

"Huh? Heero?" Duo looked to the floor and saw the other man kneeling there, naked so that the bumps of his spine and ribs showed. Duo saw the tray of breakfast, looking steamy and delectable. His mouth began to water, but he pushed the hunger away. Why had Heero made him breakfast? Why was he on the floor? Heero's kneeling involved his whole body; he was on his knees, but his head was down and his hands were out in front of him, palms down on the black carpet.

"Did you sleep well Master Duo?"

"Uhmyes? What's going on?"

"I made you breakfast. Bacon, eggs, toast and home fries. I brought you milk and orange juice, and I made coffee. I will bring you a cup of that as well, if you tell me how you like it. Is there something else you would like to have? I could make a different breakfast if you don't like what I made already. There was not very much food in the kitchen."

"No, no, this is great. Don't make anything else. Butwhy are you on the floor? And why are you naked?"

"Is this wrong? I apologize then, Master Duo. Master J had me get up and make him breakfast, then he liked to be woken up with me in his bed, but I thought I would disgust you if I went into your bed. I'm sorry Master Duo, tell me what you want and I will do as you ask, I did not mean to offend you."

Duo looked at the man kneeling at the side of his bed. //Jesus, I don't think I'm ever going to get used to this, but if I say the wrong thing then he thinks something is his faultgods, how do I fix this?// Duo rubbed his face and pushed his bangs back.

"Ok, Heero, I'm not used to this, no one's ever made me breakfast before, I don't even eat breakfast most of the time. I don't want to see you on the floor like that, its not fair to you. Why don't you come sit on the bed beside me. Have you made yourself anything to eat?"

"Yes Master." Heero got up and walked around the bed, then timidly crawled onto it and slid into the sheets beside Duo. "No Master, I have not eaten. Would you like me to?"

"You can help me with this, I don't think I could eat this much all at once for breakfast no matter who made it."

Heero looked confused. He was sitting a few inches away from Duo on the bed. Duo looked at Heero, thinking over what he'd said before. "Heero, I don't think you're disgusting in any way, ok? You can come near me, I want you to share this awesome breakfast with me. And please stop calling me Master. Is there something wrong with just using 'Duo' ?"

"Master, Duo, I did not want to be disrespectful towards you. Are you positive you want me to eat with you?"

"Heero, you aren't being disrespectful. It bothers me if you call me master, like I own you or something. Please don't do it anymore. You don't want to eat with me? Is there some rule you usually follow where you can't eat in front of people?"

"Master J told me it was disrespectful and disgusting to eat in his presence, I thought you would feel the same way. I am sorry Mast-Duo, I am unaccustomed to your lifestyle. You may want to teach me how I could better serve you. Then you would not be displeased with me so often. I am trying to do what you want, but you never give direct ordersI am sorry I am too stupid to understand what you want."

Duo glared at Heero before he could stop himself. "You are not stupid! Do you understand me Heero? You are a very capable person, J just fucked you up real bad and if I could make him pay I would, but he's dead and good riddance. You are not stupid at all, I want you to believe that. You're not disgusting either. I can't believe you would kneel on the floor by my bed because you thought I'd be disgusted with you if you touched me. You don't disgust me at all, I'm just upset because of who you used to beyou're so different, it really hurts me to see you like this. I don't know what to do with you now, you can't take care of yourself, you don't even eat unless I tell you to. I just need some time to get a strategy for helping you have a life, and I'm sorry I'm making you so upset. Gods Heero"

Duo was by this time almost in tears, and Heero was staring at him, eyes wide with disbelief. He struggled to process everything that Duo had said. He didn't know whether he should leave for a little while so Duo could calm down, or if he should stay and try to calm Duo himself.

Heero decided to stay. He crawled shyly over the bed so that he was right beside Duo, and started to rub his shoulders in a relaxing massage. Duo moved so Heero could sit behind him, his hands working magic as the tension disappeared from Master Duo and he sighed contentedly. Heero was sure to keep the massage strictly relaxing. Master J had taught him many different kinds of touch, and each touch was reserved for a different mood. Now wasn't the time for an erotic massage.

"Is that a bit better Ma-Duo?"

"Yeah, thank you. I'm sorry I yelledI'm just stressed. Lets eat this breakfast before it gets cold." Duo took the tray onto his lap. Heero was still sitting behind him, gently rubbing his shoulders. He tried not to think of the old Heero and leaned back, closing his eyes for a minute and just relaxing against the man he'd been searching obsessively for, for almost five years. He felt the strong hands rub his neck and move forward to rub his chest. Heywhen had he taken his shirt off?

Duo opened his eyes and looked at the food. He saw that there were two sets of cutlery; in case he dropped one, Heero explained. Duo handed one set to Heero and then began to eat. The food was excellent. Heero was a good cook! Duo ate most of the food, Heero being too timid to pick out more than a few bites for himself. Duo finished off the orange juice then sat up, he'd been practically laying in naked Heero's lap, and it made him a bit uncomfortable.

"That was really good, I'm going to go take a shower. I guess you could clean up the dishes if you want, but only because I know you'll feel useful if you do. I don't want you thinking I'm giving you orders. I take awhile in the shower, you've got lots of time."

Duo went to take his shower and Heero cleaned up the dishes from breakfast, then proceeded to go around the entire apartment and collect all the dirty dishes and wash those too. He didn't know where things went, but he found a place for everything. It only took him ten minutes; Duo barely owned any dishes at all.

Heero saw the opportunity to please Duo and stepped into the steamy bathroom without making a sound. He was already naked, so he just pulled back the shower curtain enough to let himself in, and he stepped into the tub. Duo was under the shower's spray with his eyes closed, humming to himself as he worked water through his hair. Heero thought that Duo would have been done that already, but he figured that maybe Duo was doing something else before he started to wash. Heero came up behind Duo and gently pulled his hair out of what remained of the braid, soaking it with warm water. Duo turned around and started at him.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"I wanted to make you happy, I'm washing you. Mas-Duo, please let me, I will be very gentle, I think you will enjoy it."

"Fine, but I've-no one's ever done this for me, you really don't have to"

"I want to."

Heero was surprised at his own boldness. He ran his fingers through Duo's long hair until it was saturated, then he slowly worked shampoo through every inch of hair. He carefully turned Duo to face him and put his arms around Duo's neck to help the warm water wash the shampoo away. He felt something poking him in the thigh.

"You are aroused M-Duo, would you like me to take car of that as well?"

"I"

"Its alright Master Duo, I will be gentle, unless you would like for me to be some other way. Anything you want."

Heero worked conditioner through Duo's hair, then bent down so that he was on his knees but still upright in front of Duo. He flicked his tongue over Duo's erection, running it up the underside, then opened his mouth and took Duo in until he was buried. Duo hissed through his teeth and Heero made swallowing motions with his throat, trying his very hardest to make Master Duo happy.

It wasn't very long before he was swallowing as Duo came, and then, without missing a beat, he was on his feet, steadying Master Duo, rinsing the conditioner out of his long, soft hair. Taking a cloth and soap, Heero proceeded to wash Duo, then he turned off the water and got a fluffy towel off the towel rack to dry his Master off.

Heero wasn't sure what to do from here. Would he be required to dress Duo as well, or should he take a shower so that he would be clean for his Master?

"Master?"

"Yeah Heero?" Duo's voice was a bit shaky, he was still thinking over what had happened in the shower. Heero didn't seem to care at all, like sucking him off was just another part of service. He didn't even notice Heero had called him 'master' again, he was busy wondering what the hell was going on, and how he could get out of this mess.

"Would you like for me to wash now, or dress you?"

"What? Dress me? I think I can dress myself Heero, take a shower, ok? Take as long as you want, I hafta think for a bit."

"Yes Master Duo. Thank you." Heero stepped back into the tub and turned the water on. As soon as Duo heard it, he left the tiny room and shut the door behind him. He went to the pile of laundry on the floor in his living room and pulled out a relatively clean t-shirt and some jeans. He went into his room and got boxers, then put everything on and lay back on his bed, staring at the black ceiling.

In a few minutes, the room was filled with quiet whispers as Duo mused to himself aloud over what was going on, and what he could do about it. He hadn't reached any conclusions when a pale, shivering Heero came into the room and knelt on the floor.

"I am finished, is there anything I could bring you or do for you Master Duo?"

Duo sat up and looked at the shivering creature. "Why are you shivering Heero? No, there isn't anything I want you to do for me, except stop calling me master. And please quit bowing down on the floor like that, come sit on the bed with me or stand or something."

"I apologize Duo. I will be warm in a few minutes, I'm just cold from the shower." Heero got up and crawled onto the bed beside Duo. He had been taught not to ever raise his voice or his eyes above his master's, so he knelt down, practically pressing his forehead onto the sheets.

Duo reached out and touched Heero's hand. It was cold. He ran his hand over Heero's back. His skin was all cold. "Heero, sit up, and were you showering in cold water?"

"Yes Duo." Heero sat up warily, looking furiously down at the sheets, trying not to wince away from the hand on him. He couldn't help but feel that it was going to lash out and hit him at any minute. Master's hands were dangerous; they could be loving, and they gave food, but they also brought the most painful lashes. Heero was still afraid that Master Duo would hit him for everything he'd been doing so wrongly.

"Why?! You'll get sick! No wonder you're so pale and tired, you don't even get hot water? Well, from now on I want you to make the water any temperature you want. Whatever is comfortable. Andyou can't walk around naked all the time, you should wear clothes. Everything I own is probably too big for you, we'll have to go shopping today. I usually do everything online, but I think I'll take you out to an actual store; it'd be good for us both to get out.

Duo got up and looked at Heero. The Japanese man was sitting on his knees still, looking at the bed sheets as if he were scared or embarrassed or shy. Duo decided not to mention what had happened in the shower just yet, Heero obviously had a lot on his mind for the time being. He went into the kitchen and saw that all the dirty dishes were done. Smiling sadly, Duo took a peach from the counter and washed it off, putting it in a bowl. He had no idea why he had fresh peaches, but he figured he must have bought them sometime, or else they wouldn't be there.

Taking a paring knife, he went back into the bedroom where Heero was still sitting in the same position. He sat down and began to peel the peach.

"I will do that for you Duo. I can feed it to you as well, if you would like."

Duo shook his head and grinned. "Nope, this is for you. You're gonna sit here and watch me peel it, then I'm going to feed it to you. I want you to eat something, and this won't hurt your stomach."

"But Master-"

"No. And I'm Duo, not master."

""

Heero watched, horrified, as his Master did a slave's job, peeling fruit and slicing it. His eyes widened when Duo picked up a sliver of fresh peach and held it over his mouth. If he took the fruitwhat a disgrace for his Master, but if he didn't, he would be being disobedient again. Heero bit his lip then opened his mouth, looking down at the sheets as he swallowed the delicious fruit. He couldn't stop the tears that were threatening, this was too much of a disturbing situation. Sparkly tracks slid down his cheeks as another slice of fruit was urged into his mouth, and he swallowed it over the lump in his throat.

Duo fed Heero the entire peach, despite the tears that were practically gushing down his face. It didn't matter. Heero was going to be upset no matter what, but he needed to eat, and he needed to see that Duo was not some all-powerful Master, but an equal, another human being. However, when he finished feeding Heero and the tears did not stop, Duo wondered exactly what he was doing. He leaned forward and pulled the trembling man into his arms, feeling how thin Heero really was, and how badly he was shaking.

Running a hand through Heero's damp hair, Duo shushed him like he would a child, talking softly and rocking slowly.

"Heero, shhh, don't cry, I'm not mad at you, I'm not trying to hurt you, what's wrong?"

Heero let himself be held, he didn't have the strength to pull away. He was terrified, and he didn't know how to explain his fear to Master Duo. The words just wouldn't come, they were somewhere in the black hole that was his memory.

"..YouMaster Duo youI can't say it so that you'll understand me, I think. You were peeling fruitand-and feeding melike you were less than melike I deserved that treatmentI can't, I don't knowI'm sorry Master, things don't make sense when I try to say them. I mean that you wereme, and I-I'm so sorry" Heero stopped and tried not to cry on Master Duo's chest, but he couldn't help it. He was so filled with self loathing and disgust at the moment that he wanted Duo to beat him, just to prove to himself that he was worth nothing, to prove that Master Duo really was Master.

Heero was falling asleep in Duo's arms. He gently lay the smaller man on the bed and pulled the covers over him, then left the room, keeping the door open a crack in case Heero woke up. He wandered through his apartment, wondering what it was he usually did all day, and realized that he had no idea. Flipping on the TV, duo found some cartoons and settled down to watch brainless entertainment until Heero woke up.
