Page: Thank you for the reviews, they are more appreciated than you know. I hope to get more. I'm thinking, one or two more chapters on this story and I'm done.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The whole ride there I was so uncomfortable and that's not like me. I can usually find comfort in any situation. This situation however, was something I couldn't manipulate enough to get a grasp on. My knee was constantly moving and if I wasn't twiddling my thumbs, I was playing with the bottom of my hair. Normally I'd joke or flirt but it wasn't that easy with Heero… who at the moment was staring at me intently.

I turned to him smiling warily. " Um… Heero."

"Yes." He said quickly.

My smile faltered at his quick response. " Look, is there something I should know? Something I'm not being told."

Heero scooted closer to me and I let my eyes rake down his body. They stayed pasted to his thigh and I suddenly wondered how good he would look pants off, creamy thighs spread apart…

" Nothing you won't find out soon." He said as I forced myself to drag my eyes to meet his.

My thoughts were going in the gutter and somehow I was pretty sure Heero's weren't far from mine. I don't know why all of a sudden this was all happening, but I did know that in the midst of my uncomfort, I was becoming extremely aroused. I found that odd considering it took either a whole lot of porn or some serious physical activity to give my dick full control over my mind. And that was the last thing I needed.

I tried hard to distract him and myself. " So… What - what really made you come with me? I know that Quatre has the whole puppy dog eyes thing going for him but you've never been one to play follow the leader… and not to mention whe…"

" Duo," Heero said, planting his hand firmly around the back of my neck. "Be quiet."

I couldn't stop from blushing and whether it was from me feeling completely dumb or from Heero's hand on me, I didn't know. Really, Heero has never ever placed his hands on me, well unless he was pushing me away. It was always so clear, that to him, I had the damn Ebola virus. He wouldn't touch me with a ten - foot pole and yet here he was drawing my face closer to his then I had ever dared to get close to.

" Heero…um… what are you doing?" I whispered. I couldn't get my voice to get any higher than that.

Why was I even questioning it? I knew that I wanted it. I have for a while, I just never thought that I could get away with it. Oh and my body wanted it… god did it ever. I pulled away quickly at that realization and I crossed my legs, obviously hiding my awakening arousal. I faintly wondered if Heero ever had that problem or worse… if he noticed mine.

Just as I opened my mouth to break the silence, the car stopped abruptly, nearly giving me whiplash in the process. The door opened and a tall man with green eyes and his hair tucked under his cap walked us to the front of the theatre. He kept his head down the entire time and lingered a little when Heero went to pay him.

Heero turned to me and did the most amazing thing I'd ever seen him do. He smiled. A pure genuine smile. From the top of the stairs, I thought I'd just about cried and came in my pants at the same time.

He walked to me, hands deep in his pockets. I was baffled beyond belief as he took my stunned hand in his and tugged me behind him into the theatre.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could hear the quiet talk of the many hundreds in the room and I saw the chandeliers hanging low in the theatre. It was gorgeous. I kept my eyes locked on every fine item that shone brighter than I ever thought possible as we took our seats. I smiled to myself at the way this was all turning out. Quite unbelievable. We had the most amazing red velvet sofa; large enough for me to spread out like a cat on. I was insanely tempted to kick off my shoes and do just that. I half - wondered why it was that we had such a chair. I imagined in places such as these, chairs would be placed where we were and there would be more balconies closer together. As it turns out, there were only two balconies, ours and the one across the way.

I looked to my lap where I had so conveniently placed the binoculars. I wondered if they had a sofa like ours. I picked them up and focused my attention to the balcony across the facility. Nope… they have chairs. Two of em. Well this was…weird.

" The show is actually going to be down there Duo." Heero whispered next to my face.

I looked at him and squinted my eyes. " I know that."

I thought as I laid the binoculars back down in my lap and waited quietly. I vowed to watch Heero and I continued doing so. Through the corner of my eye I could see him getting comfortable, loosening his bow tie and letting his right leg relax against mine. I was swiftly aware of his body next to mine. I could feel the heat radiating off of him and not to mention the smell that accompanied it. It was all Heero. I shut my eyes momentarily willing my tratorious body to calm itself down before my cock ripped a hole through the front of my pants. I opened my eyes after a few failing seconds and resumed watching this imposter that looked but didn't act like the Heero I knew. Then unexpectedly, a sly smile spread across his face and he slowly reached toward my lap.

" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" I screeched.

Heero looked at me, feigning innocence. "I'm wanted to take a look through the binoculars."

Yeah right! I always knew Heero was an ass. He was doing it all on purpose… I was sure. Okay, okay, maybe I was exaggerating. Sue me. Maybe I just wanted what I was too scared to ask for. And I for one was tired of all this skating around the issue. Two could play his little game.

" Oh. Sorry. Go ahead. It's all yours." I said licking my lips.

He looked at me, no expression, but I knew him and I knew that he'd see the challenge in my eyes. He raised an eyebrow and cocked a crooked smile. AHA! Point for Duo!!

The lights dimmed to an almost pitch black. Let the games begin.
