*~Falling Stars~*

"Heero! Ow! Easy on the braid!"

"Hn."

Duo was being pulled down the Winner's staircase (by the braid) in the wee hours in the morning. He didn't even get a cup of coffee. That was enough for him to yell 'injustice' anyday.

When the duo were outside, the chestnut-haired boy asked, "Where are you taking me?"

A dark purple sky reached forever above them, and was littered with thousands upon thousands of small white dots. They created beautiful patterns and figures in the night sky; a very awe-inspiring thing to see when...

"You'll see," Heero mumbled, still half asleep himself from typing on the cursed laptop for the past four hours.

They walked until they reached a hill, topped with a huge tree that must've been a few hundred years old. Heero sat aagainst one of the pertruding roots and leaned back, enjoying the view.

"Okaaaayyyy..." Duo drawled. "Why are we here?"

Heero smirked. "That's for me to know and you to find out," he said, closing his eyes in the process.

"No fair!" Duo really didn't care if he sounded like a child at this specific moment, he just wanted some coffee and a warm bed. Was that too much to ask? Wait. Why were they not doing anything? Why were they up here sitting next to a tree and staring mindlessly at the ground? "Uh... Heero? What are we supposed to be doing?"

"Look up," came the monotone reply.

Duo did as he was told. //Jeez this guy is harsh...// The thought stilled as he watched hundreds of stars blinking in his eyes. //Wow. It looks so much different here than in space. I never knew... And I never really paid attention before.//

The stoic pilot laid his head on his hands. He started drifing into a peaceful sleep that didn't include 'that baka's' voice. This night air could make a person very tired after a long day...

"Heero! Didja see that?" Duo asked excitedly.

He opened one eye. //God, does he ever _shut up_?// "What?"

"A star!" Duo exclaimed.

"Duo, there are many stars in the sky..."

"No, Heero! It was falling! Like someone hit it and it started hurling in some unknown direction and it had nothing to stop it... and it continued on and on..."

Heero got impatient of the boy's ramblings. "Did you wish on it?"

Duo's eyebrows furrowed.

"You've never wished on a falling star?" Heero asked, somewhat confused. After all, this _was_ Duo... the one person who had done everything...

He shook his head.

"Next one you see," Heero said before yawning, "wish on it."

A few minutes later, the Japanese teen was asleep and Duo was franticly looking for falling stars. Everything was dead quiet, except for the occational croak of a toad or chirp of a cricket.

Heero opened an eye. //What the he--// He opened the other and stared straight into two violet glass orbs.

Obviously, Mr. Perfect Soldier wasn't thinking saftey when with his best friend. "What are you doing, Maxwell?"

"I wished..."

"Good. Don't tell me." Heero closed his eyes again, praying silently for one night of peace and quiet. But when he reached the 'Amen', he felt warm lips upon his, making his spine tingle and his senses awaken. //WHAT is going ON?// He tried opening his eyes, but all he could see was chestnut brown hair.

Duo pulled back from his short kiss, blushing slightly from his bluntness. He was a little out of breath, and quickly hid that by taking deep breaths. He turned around to face his secret lover, and was a little ashamed of what he saw. "I wanted to show you..."

//Obviously.// "What did you just do, Maxwell?" Heero asked, sitting up in a reclined position.

"I-I kissed you," Duo said hesitantly, wanting to act cool at the same moment, but failing miserably.

"Why?"

"B-Because I..." Duo's chest froze and his mind stopped working. His throat choked on the words he wanted to say, then they came out quicker than comprehendable. "Iwantedtotellyoualongtimeago, butitseemedlikeyouwereinterestedinRelenaduringthewar... IloveyouHeeroandIwantedtotellyouforsolong... andIdidn'twantyoutothinkIwassomekindoffreakbeacauseIlikeguys, butyouwerethepersonwhomademethinkthatwayinthefirstplace..." [1]

Heero rubbed his temples. They ached unbelievably at the thought of him and Relena together, plus all the racket that Duo was making... //He's got to know. You have to tell him. Time to stop being the Perfect Soldier and just tell him how you've felt all these years.//

"Do it again?" Heero asked, making sure he chose the right words to say.

The braided teen was in awe. //Did Heero just say 'Do it again'? Does that mean he wants you... he wants you to kiss him again... He liked it...//

But before Duo could answer, let alone function, Heero was inching closer, closer, until they were a little ways apart. They closed their eyes as they both reacted, moving themselves together, coming to form one shadow in the night sky; ultimatly finding love, passion, extacy and many other things in the night.

And Heero found himself getting less sleep than planned, all because of a single, falling star.

A/n: You like? Please review. I'm thinking of making other chapters too, so tell me what you think. IF NO REVIEWS, NO MORE STORY. Got it? Good.

[1] If you couldn't understand that whole thing, it goes as follows:
"I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but it seemed like you were interested in Relena during the war... I love you Heero and I wanted to tell you for so long... and I didn't want you to think I was some kind of freak beacause I like guys, but you were the person who made me think that way in the first place..."
