Karta: Howdy! I've come back with chapter number two. This is the beginning of the Heero and Duo flufftacular bonaza. At least I hope it's fluffy. The real romance is in the next chapter, but I'm not gonna give that to you yet.
DW: You're mean.
Karta: Why yes, yes I am. Now I got me some thanking to do. Four very nice people reviewed my little story and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you! Now onward!

Heero Yuy stood on the lawn of Relena's manor home fighting an internal battle, and loosing.
'I hate parties!' Was his main argument, which went right along with 'I never said I would come.' However the other obnoxious, loud voice in the back of his head seemed to have the upper hand.
'But Duo might be there! Duuuuooooo!' It yelled to him in a sing song voice.
'Damn it! Who would have guessed that the little voice in my head would be as bad as Duo. He'd get a kick out of this…' Heero thought bitterly, sort of. It actually didn't take much to imagine the braided boy's reaction.
'Wow! Now I can annoy you no matter where you go! With two of Me I might even pry you away from that laptop!'
"Now I'm schizophrenic! Great Yuy, just GREAT!" He yelled at himself. Some one suddenly cleared their throat alerting the man of few words to another presence.
"Hey buddy. I hope I'm not butting into a private conversation." Duo gave him a goofy grin.
".…"
"Good to see you too Heero." He threw an arm over his fellow pilot's shoulders, "Now let's par-tay!"

Relena glanced up from her conversation with Dorothy and Hilde to survey the room. Noin and Zechs were talking to Wufei and Sally while Quatre and Trowa were trying to find a suitable way to introduce Trowa to the former's sisters. Catherine and the numerous unnamed sisters were giggling over something, probably having to do with the pondering pilots and Lady Une was surprisingly dancing with one of the Magunacs. Lastly was Rashid doing a little story telling with Pagan.
At least Relena thought that was the last of the people, the ones worth mentioning anyway, until she finally laid eyes on a most unusual site. Heero was standing next to Duo who was doing some babbling no doubt, which in itself wasn't the amazing part. What Relena noticed was how happy the stoic pilot was. Oh he certainly still had his indifferent, "I'm doing you a favor by not killing you" face on but his eyes shone with laughter.
'How absolutely adorable!' Relena smiled softly, 'There may be hope for you yet, Heero Yuy.'
An idea struck the vice foreign minister. A brilliant idea, so grand she was going to need help.
"Excuse me ladies. Do you think you could grab Miss Noin and Lady Une and meet me in the garden. I have a plan but I'll need your help." Relena interrupted softly.

Duo continued his talk but even he wasn't listening. He was simply enjoying the view.
'Oh... pretty…' Duo mentally slapped himself for such thoughts, 'It's Heero, HEERO. Bad Duo, eyes off!'
"Duo!" The braided boy jumped to attention at the sound of his name. Heero gave him an annoyed looked but didn't say anything. Duo suddenly realized he was drooling and quickly wiped away the offending saliva.
"Little hungry I guess. I'll be right back." Duo ran off to the buffet table cursing himself.
'Smooth move, Baka!' He mentally yelled. He ate a few bites of some food, not paying attention to which, and walked back to where his comrade stood.
"Mmmm Mmmm Good!" Duo rubbed his stomach with a trademark grin on his face. He was halted from any continued conversation by a cough.
"Hello Duo." Dorothy stood before him with a hand to her lips as if containing laughter, "I just came by to tell you that the view from the Garden is lovely. You two should check it out."
'Eyebrows.'
'Must not stare at eyebrows.'
"Eyebr-" Duo stopped himself from muttering the word, "I brush my hair often, you know that Dorothy?"
Dorothy gave him an annoyed look. She had heard a lot of cover ups for that slip up, and Duo's was the worst.
"Once upon a time there was a boy with two names. Some times he was the infamous Shinigami, a mighty warrior and other times he was the braided baka whose tongue was ripped out by a pissed off girl at a party!" was all Dorothy replied before stomping away. Heero looked ready to burst out into laughter, not that Duo noticed, and quickly decided to get away from the party before he looked at Dorothy and had an uncharacteristic chuckle.
"Let's go." Heero nodded toward the door, "The garden will be the easiest place for you to escape from, should the need arise."
Duo had to run to keep up with the other boy's stride, which seemed unusually fast. This kept him from deciding whether Heero had just made a joke or not.
In the garden Relena's plan begun to unfold.
