A/N: All I can say is that you are going to say that I am extraordinarily evil and sadistic. I must say that I agree.
Heero's breath hitched in his throat as his ice blue eyes widened and his face went white. His pants were growing increasingly uncomfortable as the moments passed. Some parts of Heero's body knew what it wanted to do, but Heero himself had no idea.
It turns out that Heero didn't need to have an idea. Duo made the first move. The sopping wet braided boy clambered out of the makeshift tub and smiled at him. "The water is still warm." And with a clap on the shoulder Duo was gone.
Heero walked over to the basin and with one look at the water decided that he would not be bathing in it. The water had been tinged a mix of pink and brown from the dried blood and dirt that Duo had had on his body and it looked thoroughly disgusting. Besides, there was plenty of snow to go around and it wouldn't take long to heat so why bother bathing in dirty water? Heero followed Duo's example and left the room.
When Heero entered the larger room Duo was doing the towel dance with one of his blankets. Duo had his back turned to Heero as he moved the blanket lower and started pulling it at each side so that it gave Heero the impression that he was wiggling his butt. Heero snorted at Duo antics. Duo spun at the noise and his face flushed immediately. "May I ask what you were doing?" Heero asked Duo as he lifted an eyebrow. "I was drying off." Duo replied. "It looked to me to be some sort of a ritual, but continue drying off if you want." Duo blushed harder and wrapped the blanket around him tightly. Duo waddled over to the fire and flopped down to warm himself. Heero followed suit. "How's your head?" He asked Duo who wasn't chattering as he normally did. "It's all right I guess." Duo was looking into the fire intensely. "Let me see." Duo turned at his words and gave him a look that was vaguely suspicious. Heero dropped the hands that had been reaching for Duo's face. "What is it?"
"Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about, Duo."
"Don't lie. You haven't hit me, given me a death glare, delivered a death threat; you haven't given me the silent treatment, I mean for Christ's sake you even made a bath for me! What is up with you?"
"Duo…"
"Don't Duo me, damn it! I want an answer!"
"I was afraid."
Duo was about to continue his rant, but when he heard Heero's words, his voice died. "You were afraid?" Duo repeated in disbelief. Heero nodded with his head pointed towards his lap. Duo didn't know what to say to that. Heero was afraid. The Perfect Soldier had been afraid for him. Fuck, he thought. "Heero…"Duo leaned in closer towards Heero. When their faces were only inches away a loud beeping sounded.
The two boys sprang apart. Well, at least Heero sprang away. Duo was still wrapped in the blanket and he flopped on his side. Heero went over to the bag that seemed to be the source of the beeping and opened it. Duo nearly passed out to see Heero pull his goddamned laptop from the bag. "What the fuck?" Duo gasped. Heero brought the beeping machine over to Duo and sat down beside him, opening the laptop. Heero didn't answer Duo. "Where did you get that?" Duo asked Heero as the Japanese boy's fingers started its mantra across the keyboard. "From the bag Duo, you saw me get it."
"You know what I mean! What were you doing with the laptop in the bag?"
"I always bring my laptop with me."
Duo felt his eye twitch in irritation. "OK you know what? Fine, I don't care." He muttered to himself before looking over Heero's shoulder to see what he was doing on the laptop.
Heero was drawing up an email. "Who's it from?"
"Dr. J."
"What does he want?"
"To deliver information our information."
"Why?"
"Because today was when he was scheduled to do so."
"That explains a lot."
"He wants to know where we are. We obviously aren't at the safe house that we were appointed to so he needs to know where to send our supplies."
"Thank you for elaborating."
"It should be a simple mission. Invade, get the information, destroy base. Not hard." "Not hard at all. When are the Gundams getting here?"
"Tomorrow."
"So we wait until tomorrow."
"It looks like it."
A/N: I'm sorry that this is so short, but it seemed like a good place to cut it off. I know that I had two perfectly good scenes that could have been used for some good we're-all-alone-in-the-wilderness-smut, but I decided that I would tease you. Muah. I must thank all of my reviewers. You all mean so much to me. I can't tell you how happy I get when I see my mailbox full with things that aren't offers for free viewing of underage porn stars. Thank you all.

We write it, people read it, people want more, we don't have more, people get pissed, people eat us, we have to write in people's stomachs… OK well maybe not like that, but you get the point, ne?
