~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Duo walked around for several minutes trying to figure out where he was on the map Treize had given him before Heero entered the meeting.

He finally found his destination as he opened the silver door with the push of a button and entered the recreation/games room. Several men and women were in the room playing pool, watching TV, or talking in one of the many booths that were off to the side. Duo decided to seat himself down next to a blonde boy seated at the bar that was making googly eyes to the boy with the strange brown hair next to him. He decided to talk to the blonde man out of boredom. "Hi," he said politely.

The blonde man turned and smiled as his blue-green eyes shone brightly with friendliness. "Hi! You're new here aren't you? My name is Quatre Winner, also known as Agent Sandrock, and this is my friend and partner, Trowa Barton, Agent Heavyarms," he said amazingly in one breath as he extended a hand.

"Duo Maxwell, aka, Agent Deathscythe. It's a pleasure to meet you both," Duo said as he shook Quatre's hand. Trowa nodded to him and mumbled a "hello" as Duo smiled at him.

"Who are you paired up with, or are you working alone?" Quarter asked with mild curiosity as he crossed his legs at his ankles.

Duo made a face before replying. "Agent Wing is my assigned partner," he said informing the blond with an added snort.

Quatre giggled as Trowa sighed. "You have your full pity, Duo. Heero is not an easy person to work with. It would be good for him to get out every once in a while," the blonde said. A bell rang sharply in a high-pitched wail, alarming Duo. Trowa looked at his watch and gently tugged at Quatre's sleeve. "It is time for us to go." Quatre turned and nodded at Trowa as he then turned to look at Duo apologetically. "It was nice meeting you, Duo." Quatre said as he stood up to take his leave. "Good luck with Heero, you're going to need it!" The petite blonde man said before exiting the room, leaving Duo to sit alone at the bar. Duo stood up shortly after Quatre and Trowa left to head back to his room, the map being held in his right hand.

He returned to the small apartment a short time after to find Heero seated on a desk chair, furiously typing away on a laptop. He never took the time to greet Duo upon his arrival home, ignoring him completely. He figured that if he could ignore Duo, he might just go away and Treize might reassign him to another sector. No avail, Duo took his shoes off at the entrance as he sauntered over to where Heero was seated. "Heya Heero! What ya up to?" He said, purposefully accenting Heero's name.

"Hn. None of your business," the stoic man said as he stood up and walked into the kitchenette to get something to eat after he had shut down his laptop.

Duo followed him, not wanting to give up on a conversation so easily. Heero silently cursed Treize and Une again as Duo chattered endlessly asking Heero the most craziest and strangest questions like: what kind of underwear he preferred, silk or cotton. Heero sighed and decided to turn the tables around. "Silk or cotton boxers undergarments on me or a lover?"

Duo's eyes widened as he began to laugh. "On yourself silly!"

"Cotton," Heero deadpanned.

Duo nodded his head as he thought something over. "The type of underwear a person wears tells a lot about a person." Duo then proceeded to explain how his theory was true. By this time, Heero tuned him out as he ate a sandwich he made and mechanically nodded every now and then to look like he paid attention.

Around eleven in the evening, Duo decided that it was time to hit the sack. He bid Heero a good-night, glad that he got Heero to open up a little bit. If he was going to stay here, he was not going to work with a partner who was a good comparison to a brick wall. He smiled to himself before he closed his eyes. It won't be so bad here, besides, not with a cute partner like Heero! He practically grinned as the term 'eye-candy' crossed his mind before he drifted off to sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Heero awoke the next morning to the smell of someone cooking bacon and eggs. He wondered who would be making breakfast at...he looked at his digital clock on his nightstand that read 7am. He turned to his left and saw the unmade bed of someone, that someone he dully noted, who was his newly assigned partner, Duo. Heero was not a morning person by far and groaned as he heard the clanging of pots and pans. He pulled off his covers and slowly got up, knowing he was not going to get anymore sleep with all that racket! He pulled on a pair of sweat pants as he stumbled, sleep-grogged, into the kitchen without bothering to put on a shirt.

When he reached the kitchen, he was greeted by Duo who smiled brightly as he finished cooking some home fries. He wore plaid red flannel PJ's and his hair had been tied loosely into a ponytail but he looked ridiculous wearing the light blue apron and fuzzy brown slippers. "Good morning Heero! Want some breakfast? Coffee?" Duo asked, not bothering to wait as he set a cup of coffee in front of him. Heero put 2 sugars and some milk in the coffee Duo had handed him. He smiled sleepily and gave a contented sigh as he took his first sip of coffee. Duo almost laughed as he watched Heero's strange morning behaviour as he was graced with a topless Heero. He grinned inwardly, licking his lips. This could be fun.

Duo placed a plate of food before Heero as he grabbed a chair and sat across from Heero, watching him for the food in his mouth.

"This is good," Heero said through a mouthful of eggs.

Duo noted this and beamed as he smiled. "Thank you."

"Aren't you going to eat too?"

Duo shook his head. "No, I ate already. I'm usually up at 5:30am so I can go on my morning jog. Makes me feel relaxed y'know?"

Heero nodded as he finished up his breakfast and placed the plate in the dishwasher. "Thank you, Duo." Heero silently wondered what sane person woke up so early in the morning to go jogging.

"Well, if you don't mind, Heero. I'm going to take a shower ok?"

"Sure. I'll clean up." Duo accepted this and walked off towards the washroom leaving Heero behind to clean up. He began to stack the random dishes Duo had used into the dishwasher. Once done, he went to retrieve the paper from the door. He sat down and began to read the newspaper.

Upon reaching the shower, Duo grinned at his silent victory. Maybe, just maybe Lady Luck will be on my side and I can get Heero to be more than an acquaintance or friend! Right, and mountains will move and the sea will split for me too. Duo blew out a puff of air as water streamed down his face from the shower. It was going to be torture having a hot partner who was probably straight, leaving him to be able to do nothing. Well, at lease I can try to befriend the stoic guy. Duo growled in frustration as he washed his hair.

When Duo was out of the shower, he walked back into the kitchen dressed in a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt that read 'Devil' in red gothic style letters and had little horns and a tail around on the 'D.' Heero had been doing a crossword puzzle from the newspaper he had been reading when Duo entered. Duo almost giggled at the cute little frown Heero wore as he tried to figure out the puzzle. Had it not been for the pristine white walls and metallic appliances that screamed 'sterolized,' it would have been a homely sight that a person would envision a young family to be in. Heero nodded once as he stood up ever so silently, from where he had been sitting, and headed off to shower.

After both young men had been cleaned and dressed, they sat on the couch, Duo watching cartoons and giggling every now and then. Heero decided to read a book, flipping through the pages as he read. "Hey Heero?"

Blue eyes peaked up from the book he had been reading and looked over at Duo with a quizzical expression. "Yes?"

Duo brushed a strand of hair behind his ears nervously, his eyes averting Heero's. "Can we do something...fun? I'm kind of bored."

Heero quietly placed the book he had been reading on the coffee table as he crossed his legs at the base of his ankles and looked at Duo. "What do you have in mind?"

Duo shrugged. "I don't know. Something that will let us get to know each other without being boring and be enjoyable at the same time. I was thinking maybe a movie, paintball or coffee at one of the local café's," Duo offered with enthusiasm. "I really hate sitting here not knowing what to talk about. It's driving me crazy."

"Don't talk?" Heero mumbled as he turned off the TV that had some woman screaming out a song.

Duo frowned. "What was that?"

Heero shifted nervously. "I said I'd like to go for coffee?" he barked out, annoyed.

"Oh, cool. Let's get our coats and be on our way." He said as he grabbed a navy blue windbreaker, and somehow dragged Heero out the door before he had second thoughts.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


"So I says to him, your pants are on backwards!" Duo said as he laughed as a hand hit the table.

Heero rolled his eyes and took a mental note NEVER to let Duo have three Ice Cappuccino's, it was a very dangerous thing. The young man got extremely hyper and was more talkative that the norm.

"Say Heero?" Duo's soft tenor questioned, interrupted his thoughts all of a sudden.

"Yes?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Heero looked up from the cup of coffee he had been generously sipping and flatly told Duo "no, I do not," before taking another sip as his fingers clasped around the brown paper cup.

Duo bit his lower lip as he played with his straw. "That's ok, neither do I," Duo replied, speaking softly. Heero raised a brow at Duo's sudden change of moods. "Something the matter, Maxwell?"

Duo smiled weakly. "I just get lonely sometimes. Know what I mean?"

Heero never got the chance to really answer Duo because Quatre and Trowa had spotted them as they began to make their way over towards their table as Quatre greeted them with a cheerful "hello!" Duo's mood instantly changed as he waved. "Heya Quatre! How are you two doing?"

Quatre smiled brightly as Trowa gave both Heero and Duo a nod and a curt, "hello."

"Well, we're here waiting for our assignment to arrive, but we're kind of early so I decided we could get something while we wait." Quatre explained as he waved a cup of coffee.

"Sounds fun, we were just here having some coffee and talking," Duo grinned.

"Is Heero giving you a hard time?" Quatre joked.

Duo shrugged. "We were about to head out, maybe catch a movie or something, right Heero?"

Heero nodded, finishing off his coffee. "Sure."

Quatre waved as Heero and Duo left the café, patiently waiting with Trowa for their assignment to arrive.

What did ya think? Review please! It's nice...feed the Hakumei!

Bet you, you never thought duo to be the morning person and Heero the one to be the sleepy head? I always figure, if Heero's grouchy, maybe it's cause he hates the morning or something? I dunno...review? Please?
