The Prince and the Peasant: Part 2

By: RurouniGirl



Duo sighed as he continued to stare out his window. In the past month he had developed a serious case of boredom and depression. He hadn't seen Heero for so long. He missed him. Missed everything about him. The way he kissed, his scent, the way he always made Duo feel giddy and happy. He sighed again. It was only one week until he was supposed to marry Relena. The king had wanted the wedding to take place as soon as possible. Duo didn't care what his father said. He wouldn't marry Relena. He wouldn't. He'd just as soon kill himself, than marry her.

He turned as someone tapped on the door, and then stepped inside. It was Quatre, followed by Trowa. Duo smiled weakly.

Quatre shook his head at the prince's appearance. He was tired and worn out. He had dark circles under his eyes and his hair hung in a shaggy mess around his body.

"Come, my Prince. Let's get you cleaned up. Trowa and I have a surprise for you."

Duo looked a little confused. "A surprise? For me?"

Trowa nodded. "Yes, a surprise for you."

He allowed Quatre to help him put on a clean shirt, then brush and braid his hair. He stood up and put on a clean pair of pants and pulled on his boots. He followed the two servants from the room, wondering where they were taking him. He finally asked.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see," was the reply.

They finally stopped beside the door to Quatre and Trowa's bedroom. Duo looked around in confusion.

"What are we doing here?"

Quatre smiled. "Open the door and you'll see."

Duo did as he was told and nearly fainted at what he saw. Standing in the room, was Heero. Duo ran to him and flung his arms around him, holding him as tight as he could without hurting him.

"Heero," he said, tears streaming down his face.

Heero smiled as he looked down at the prince. "I missed you," he whispered quietly.

Duo buried his face in Heero's shoulder. "I missed you, too."

The two just stood there, holding each other. Finally, Duo managed to stop crying.

"Heero," he started. "You shouldn't be here. If my father finds out about this..."

Heeero silenced him with a kiss. "Don't worry, he won't find out."

Duo smiled. "I've missed you so much," he said, kissing Heero again.

Heero grinned. "How about we do a little catching up?"

Duo merely smiled and pulled Heero in for another kiss.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Duo sighed contentedly as he snuggled closer to Heero. He smiled as he felt Heero's arm wrap around his waist.

"Sleep well?" Heero asked quietly.

Duo nodded and kissed Heero on the cheek. "Extremely well."

They both looked up as someone knocked on the door.

"Come in," Duo called.

Quatre stuck his head in. "I'm sorry," he said. "But..."

"I should be leaving," Heero finished for him.

Quatre smiled. "I'll wait right outside the door. Come out when you're ready."

Heero got up and began to pull on his clothes. He looked over at Duo and smiled.

"I'm glad I got to see you."

Duo got up, wrapping his arms around Heero. "Me too," he said.

Quatre looked up as the two boys come outside. "Trowa will show you out of the castle," he said to Heero.
Heero nodded. He kissed Duo quickly and followed Trowa. When they had disappeared around the corner Duo turned toward Quatre and gave him a big hug.

"Oh, thank you Quatre. That meant so much to me."

Quatre smiled. "I know," he said. "I can see the change in your mood."

Duo grinned. His grin turned to a frown as one of his father's servants came up to him.

"The king wishes your presence immediately."

Duo sighed. 'What could his father want? He hadn't talked to him since placing him under house arrest.'

Slowly, he trudged toward the thrown room. The king looked up as he entered.

Duo walked forward. His father looked angry. He stood in front of his father, remaining silent.

Someone cleared their throat. He turned and saw Trowa. He was surprised to see his hands chained in front of him and two guards stood on either side of him.

"I'm sorry," he mouthed.

Duo looked confused. He turned back toward his father. "Why did you ask to see me?"

The king snapped his fingers and the door to the thrown room burst open. Duo gasped as two guards came in dragging someone between them.

"Heero!" Duo said, hurrying forward. Two guards stepped forward refusing to let him pass. Duo whirled around to face his father.

"Why are you doing this, father?"

The king looked at his son with disdain. "You will marry Relena, son."

Duo was furiously. "No father. I won't marry her. I don't love her." He turned toward Heero, a tear slipped down his cheek. "I love Heero."

The king snorted. "Well, you'll just have to get over it. You will marry Relena. I'll make sure of that."

Duo shook his head. "No father, I won't marry her."

The king shook his head. "That's too bad. Because if you don't marry her, I'll be forced to execute your little peasant boy."
