Heero woke when the fork clattered to the floor into the bowl he had
abandoned there. Upon inspection, the soup within it proved room
temperature - how long had he been -
The longer-haired pilot stirred in his sleep, reaching out for whatever it is you seek while dreaming. His hands curled around Heero's waist and latched together. Heero was dragged by the torso back into the mound of fur, pressed close against Duo.
Worn down, he submitted. Why not? What was so wrong with it, anyway? He was so tired.. To tired to fight. the room hazed over threateningly and he forced himself to concentrate, instead of sleeping.
He barely registered the eyelashes fluttering against his neck, turning only when Duo's long mouth smiled against his bare back.
"Good morning," Was all Duo said, not what was expected -
/why not "what are you doing here?" "why are you in this bed? With me?"/ Heero turned around to face Duo, unsure of what exactly to say.
"Thank you!" Duo's smile widened, and his face bubbled over with charm.
"Hn." Replied Heero
Duo somehow mistook this as a signal - he immediately latched tighter onto Heero, burying his face into the hollow between Heero's neck and collarbone.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Beaming, Duo sat up at last, pulling Heero with him.
"Mmhmm."
"I feel so much better n-" Duo's eyes widened as he was cut off by a cough, deep within his lungs emerging out in a bark. He felt liquid enter his mouth, and he spat it into the cold soup.
"Phlem!" He supplied cheerfully as Heero attempted to back off
"No. blood, then?" Heero asked, peering into the ruined soup - no traces of red.. His stomach recoiled at the sight of what Duo had spat out, instead, and he was forced to turn back to his comrade.
"I'm so happy! You care!" Giggling, Duo launched his uncharacteristically surprised friend back into the bed 'sheets'.
Heero felt the warmth of the boy above him, then, for the first time. The boy was straddled across Heero's midsection, seemingly oblivious to the effect this had.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Duo bent over to nuzzle Heero's face -
-then veered to quickly to allow his mouth to brush Heero's.
If Heero had been surprised before. He was reaching new levels of it now. He tensed beneath Duo's attention.
If Duo noticed Heero's nervousness, he didn't account for it. Pressing down gently upon his savior's mouth, he forced the trembling soldier to yield, relaxing, if not kissing back.
Against Heero's mouth, Duo smiled.
