Chiizu: lol. I will try to get this out as fast as I can. For coming back for more and reviewing twice, this chapter is for you and Moonlit eyes. Hope you like steam. ^_~

Talian: Thank you very much. Though this is not a comedy, for me to write something without a little humor would be near impossible. I will put in a few more just for you.

Kari_angle18: My first anonymous review. I myself would like to know what happens. *giggles* I guess we will have to wait and see, but I do know that I have a few more twist to add yet.

silverpen: *gleeful laughter* Your order is served.

Moonlit eyes: Welcome back! Hope you like the steam toward the end. In case you did not read the about note, this chapter is for you and Chiizu. Enjoy.

emily: Rest easy. I have decided that I will not stop this fic until it is finished. How long that is going to be I do not know. *evil grin* If you think Wufei has been bad so far wait till you see what he is going to do later. Come back to find out more.

Dreamweaver: The way this is going it will be a fairly long fic. Once everything is out in the open, you will probably like it more. Of course don't let that stop you from reading it till then.

A big thanks to all of you! Hope to see all of you back here again.

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

*grrrr* His foggy mind registered the sound and that of a snort. *grrrr* He heard it again, but that time he felt it as well. With a moan of displeasure, he awoke fully to feed his growling stomach. When he opened his eyes, he was greeted with a pair of onyx eyes right in front of his face. "Ahhhhh! Damnit Wu! What the hell are you trying to do give me a heart attack?"

Wufei snorted and smirked down at his friend. "I just wanted to make sure you were still alive."

"Well, thanks to you five years have been knocked off my life and if I don't get something to eat soon I will waist away." *sniff* "Is that bacon and eggs I smell?" He started to get up but a hand on his shoulder stopped him. He looked up at his friend questionably.

"I am under orders to not let you leave this couch unless it is to take a piss or to take a shit. I attend to do just that. I will not have a zero mood Winner on my ass because of you Maxwell."

Duo got the strangest mental image of Quatre chasing Wufei around with a wooden spoon. His light chuckle turned into a full-blown belly laugh followed by a heavy coughing fit. Even through the coughs he could not wipe the smile from his face. He felt a comforting hand rubbing soothing circles on his back till the fit had passed.

"Would you like to tell me what you thought was so damn funny?"

This brought out a small chuckle and a panting reply "You don't *giggle* want to know. Speaking of Q, where is he? I thought for sure he would be here when I woke up."

"He and Barton went to acquire us a mode of transportation to relocate to another safe house."

"If Q is with Troman and you and I are here, then that would mean that."

"It means that I am making breakfast." Two young men looked up to see Heero standing at the foot of the couch. His face was void of any inward thoughts.

Duo smiled up at him. "Hey Hee-chan. What's cooking?" The only answer he got was a "Hn" as he went back in the kitchen. His smile fell a little but quickly went right back up. "How are you feeling Maxwell?"

The question pulled his attention back to Wufei. "To tell you the true man, I feel good but uneasy. I still can't remember what happened. If the weather was as bad as you guys said it was, then not even I am dumb enough to just stand in it." Wufei placed his hand on Duo's arm and offered a soft smile to try and comfort his friend as much as possible. They heard a throat being cleared and looked up to see Heero standing there with a tray of food glaring down at Wufei's hand.

Wufei looked up at him with a smirk but did not remove his hand. "Don't tell me that you are getting sick to Yuy. One sick pilot is quite enough, especially if it is Maxwell." His voice held a very smug tone that did not go unnoticed by the cobalt-eyed fighter. His glare increased as he looked from the hand to its owner's face.

"Breakfast is ready in the kitchen. Go eat before it gets cold." The emphasis on the word 'kitchen' made the Chinaman's smirk widen. He removed his hand and went to the kitchen to eat well aware of the death glare at his back.

Once Wufei was out of sight, the glare turned into a blush as he looks at Duo, whom at the moment was looking at him with wide, shocked, violet eyes. They just stared into one another eyes for a few moments when a noise, suspiciously like an amused laugh, from the kitchen pulled them out of their trance.

"Um..Heero, I um I want to thank you for what you did for me yesterday." Duo said with a nervous edge to his voice. Heero could see he had a minor blush to his checks but did not know if it was from his health or something else.

"You are welcome." Duo was shocked once again. First he showed signs of jealousy, now he is being civil. 'Could it be? Could I hope? Does he feel for me? Please! Please! Calm down. Don't get your hopes up to much. But he is being so different. Open up to me Heero. Let me love you.' He snapped out of his thoughts when said love moved closer to him to hand give him his food. 'He almost looks nervous. What could he have to be nervous about?'

"Here. It was all we had here at the moment." He could not stop the small waver in his voice as he started to speak. 'Pull yourself together Yuy. So you know now. Do not scare him off now.'

Duo took the tray with a simple thank you. He ate in silence of once. He had expected Heero to go type away at his laptop but he didn't. He just sat down at the foot of the couch and watched him eat. When he was done he handed the empty plate and tray back to Heero. 'Okay I have got to know.' "Heero, where is your computer? I kind of figured that you would be typing away at it by now." He did not answer. He just glared and went back into the kitchen to wash and put away the dishes.

"Barton kidnapped it before he left." Right then Duo heard a loud slam come from the kitchen and Wufei was coming back in the living room. He could also see that it was taking a great deal of control on his part to hold back the laughter that was threatening to erupt from his mouth. Then what he said registered fully in his mind. He did not have the control that Wufei had. He laughed till he was in tears.

"Oh laugh my breath god!! HAHAHA! That is giggle priceless. I wish I could have been awake to see that."

Somewhere during his fit of laughter, Wufei had finally lost his control and was as teary-eyed and breathless as Duo. When he heard Duo's last comment, he sobered up some and got the most evil grin on his face that Duo had ever seen.

"Now I don't know about that Maxwell. We had a very entertaining show while you were asleep. Do you know that you talk in your sleep?"

At this any remaining laughter died away only to be replaced with a deep gut wrenching dread. He did not want to ask but knew he had to. "What did I say?" It came out small and fearful.

Wufei noticed the drastic change in his comrade and could not help but be sympathetic to his friend. 'He probably was never going to tell any one. Can't you see what you mean to others?' "Late yesterday evening, you were still a bit feverish. You were having a nightmare of some kind. By the way you were fighting it must have been bad. You started screaming and saying something about finding your calm." He paused to give him a moment to absorb and prepare for the rest.

"Was that all? What else did I say Fei. I.. I need to know."

"Yuy and I were trying to keep you from hurting yourself or one of us. We had to sleep on the floor you know. We did not feel like getting kicked or stepped on. You started to scream about not letting someone have you. You were calling out Yuy's name. You said you loved him." He had to stop there to rush to Duo's side. He had gone deathly pale. For a moment, he looked like he was going to be violently sick.

'NO NO NO this cannot be happening. He heard. He knows. What am I going to do? What am I going to do? I need to get out of here.' He got up to leave but was held down by Wufei.

"Have you forgotten what I told you earlier. Winner will not be the only one to have my hide if I let you leave." He waited for the shock to wear off and the meaning of his words to sink in. Slowly he could see color return to his face and his breathing slowed back down. Duo grabbed onto his upper arms and looked up at him with hopeful eye.

"Fei, what do you mean by that? Who else or you talking about? Damn you Chang, answer me!"

"He is talking about me Duo."

Duo could feel his heart about to explode in his chest. He slowly turned to sit up and turned to face the voice of his dreams. He saw his love leaning on the doorframe that lead into the kitchen, but what made his breath catch in his throat was the look in his eyes. For the first time in a long time, if ever, emotions could be seen as clear as day. He saw doubt, fear, confusion, and a tenderness that could be found nowhere else.

"Wufei, could you give us some time alone? We need to talk."

He carefully removed himself from Duo's death grip. Before leaving, he faced Heero dead on. "Follow your emotions. That is what you always said right Yuy. Take your own advice and follow them now. He is worth any uneasiness and pain you might feel. He is the best friend I have EVER had. I will NOT let him be hurt, by ANYONE."

"Understood and agreed."

With a nod, he finished with that evil smirk on his face. "If I start to hear anything that resembles the noises that Barton and Winner make, I am coming back in here snapping, and I do not mean my fingers." "Fei!!" He left the room chucking to himself.

Duo was in a trance. He could not think. He did not even feel Wufei leave his side. His attention was focused on those cobalt eyes that were burning into his. He was only half aware of Wufei's comments to Heero but his last one snapped him out of his trance completely. 'Fei!!'

Once again, he was alone with Heero. 'This is a dream. This is a dream. This has got to be a dream. Fuck! He's moving over here. I will not run away from this.' Putting on his sweetest smile, he pulled his feet up to his chest in order to give Heero some room to sit at the foot of the couch.

"Wh..What did you want to ttalk about He..Heero?" 'Great! That was pathetic. Now he is going to think your some kind of idiot.'

Heero felt his lips cruel upwards some at the sight of a flustered Duo. 'I cannot believe this. He feels for me. He loves me. ME! You are mine now Duo. No one else can have you.' He was finally able to give into temptation and let his hand caress the other's cheek. He had to bite back a moan when Duo closed his eyes and leaned into his touch. The bruise on his cheek was now all but gone.

"Gomen." Duo's eyes shot open at hearing this. He saw that Heero was eyeing the remainder of the bruise on his cheek. "Its ok Heero."

"I its just. You make me feel so easily things that I am not suppose to feel at all. I I cannot say that love you because I do not know what love is." He saw the hurt and disappointment on the other's face and knew he had to continue or risk permanent damage.

"I do know that I care about you more than I do anything else in this world, even my own life." What he saw fill those beautiful violet eyes made his heart pound and his breath catch in his throat. All the fear, the hopelessness, and the doubt vanished only to be quickly replaced with overwhelming joy, happiness, and love.

"Gods Duo. Do you know how beautiful you are?"

Duo could not say anything yet. He was too moved and too happy to say anything. He felt Heero's hands wipe away the tears that had started to fall unchecked down his face. That simple gesture was what pushed him over the edge. He through himself into Heero's arms and held on to the warm body with all the strength he could muster. 'He feels for me. He cares for me. Heero Yuy has feelings for me. If this is a dream, may I never wake up from it.'

Heero the perfect solider was smiling. Honest to goodness smiling. 'I did not know it would feel so good to have you in my arms. It feels so right. You belong here Duo and I will not let you go.' He had followed his emotions. He found his heart. "Shh. Its ok now Duo. I am not going anywhere." He wanted to sooth his koi.

"I may not know how to love you properly right now, but I am ready and willing to learn how. Will you teach me how? Will you love me Duo?" He held his breath as he waited for his answer.

"Hell yes. Oh Hee-chan. Do you know how long I have waited to hear you say that to me? I have loved you since the first time I meet you Heero Yuy. Yes I will love you till the end of time and the days beyond."

Heero let out the breath he had been holding and crushed the young man to his body. After what felt like eternity, they broke apart to look into each other's eyes. Slowly but steady their faces drew closer to each other till they were breathing the other's breath. Their eyes were roaming all over each other's face trying to take in every detail while every few seconds their lips would lightly brush together. Fingertips stroked necks and cheeks and journeyed up to run through hair. Finally, when they could not tell one from the other, their lips meet in purest kiss possible.

They lost track of time totally. Nothing else in the world mattered but the one in front of them. They were jolted back to reality by loud clapping and catcalls.

When both could focus enough to look for the source, they found it coming from the other three pilots, and Treize? Trowa was holding a crying and clapping Quatre. Treize was also clapping. The catcalls were coming from Wufei, whom had his arm around Treize' waist. The two youths on the couch were too happy to feel embarrassed about being found out.

"Well it's about fuckin time. I was beginning to think that I would have to sky write it so you two would get a clue." They all gasped at the gentle blonde with shock, that is all except Trowa. He knew the other side to his koi well. He just smiled softly and kissed his blonde head lightly.

When the shock wore off, laughter followed. Even Heero was softly chuckling, but never once did he let go the beautiful braided pilot in his arms. When Duo sobered up to finally speak, he asked the question that was on his and Heero's mind.

"Treize, forgive me for being rude but what are you doing here?"

That simple question caused all the cheerfulness to evaporate and complete seriousness take its place. "Duo I am here because you are in great danger. There are things that involve you that you are unaware of. I will explain later. Right now we must move you and the others out of here as fast as possible. He is coming for you."

"Who is coming for me?"

"Zechs Merquise."

WOW! That took me all day off and on to do. Parts of it I am happy with and other part I am not. I cheated. I did not do my usual proofread. Spelling is my worst subject so if I miss-spelled something, please let me know. I must confess something. I have never been kissed before so I do not know how good of a job I did with that part. To answer the question going thru some of your minds, I am 21. Remember suggestions and comments welcomed and encouraged. One more thing, do you think this is still pg-13, or would you say it is R? Thanks for reading.
