Author's Notes: Mhm.the third story in my sequel. The title means, that isn't love. Have fun and enjoy! Oh, I dedicate my fanfic to my friend, Josh, because he has the chicken pox and he gave me the idea of this fic. Not directly, but he got me thinking.

Warnings: Relena bashing, shonen-ai, yaoi, and all that other stuff. Maybe some swearing. I don't know, stuff that may offend people.

DISCLAIMER: I am just..borrowing..the g-boys. I swear, I will put them away when I am done. Really!

~Sore wa ai ja nai~

/~*Duo's POV*~/

"Mhm.Heero? What time is it?" I felt Heero wrap his arms around my waist and hug me tighter to him.

"Too early. I think it's about ten o clock." I snuggled against Heero and felt his chest rise and fall. I had given up sleeping alone, I just couldn't fall asleep without someone being there. Me and Heero had been together for two weeks now, and I was enjoying every moment of it. But I had a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I had forgotten something. But the smell of Heero's cologne filled my senses and my mind was drifting off somewhere else. I felt sleep try to claim me when I remembered. Today was Valentine's Day! I had bought Heero all kinds off gifts! Of course, I wasn't expecting anything in return. Hell, he had no idea what the hell Christmas was, let alone Valentine's Day.

"Hee-chan? Happy Valentine's Day. We have to go downstairs to open your presents." He kissed my neck lightly.

"Must we get up?" I nodded and tugged on his hand. He groaned and sat up, rubbing his eyes. I pushed him out of the bed, getting a surprised grunt and a string of Japanese curses from Heero.

"Hurry up!" He tugged on his pants, I already was semi-dressed and he gave me a small, chaste kiss.

"Now can we go?" He nodded and I led him out of the room. We walked down the hallway and down the stairs and I gasped. The whole living room was filled with flowers. He bit my ear gently and led me to a chair.

"Mmm.happy Valentine's Day, koibito." He sat down and pulled me into his lap. I hugged his neck tightly and he presented me with a wrapped square. He smirked and I slowly took off the paper. I stared down at the picture. It was the first picture I had taken with Heero, and I thought he just threw it away. I was pretty upset when he didn't want it, but he took it anyways. The picture was a little crumpled but it showed me and Heero sipping coffee on the couch. Just a normal thing, but I had slung my arm over his shoulder at the last minute. I thought he looked angry when I first saw the photo five years ago, but now as I examined it, Heero was blushing!

"Oh Heero! I can't believe you saved this!" I scrambled out of his waist and I set it on top of the fireplace. It's little black frame, our preferred non-color, matched the rest of the pictures on our mantle. I smiled and jumped back into his lap. I gave him my little gift and he eagerly opened it. It was two gift certificates. One was to the local music store, and one was to the punk clothing store. Both were in walking distance of the house.

"Are you trying to say you hate my wardrobe and my music?" He said in mock anger. I smirked and kissed his cheek.

"Yea, you need to get a whole new set of everything." I then shoved a teddy bear into his arms and he looked confused by it.

"It's a teddy bear, Hee-chan. A stuffed animal. You can uh.sleep with it when you're lonely or beat on it when you're mad, and uh.it can look pretty on a shelf."

"Oh, a stuffed animal. I heard about those. Children like them a lot, too. I think I gave one to Relena once.that was a bad idea." I nodded and he smirked at me. It's so great to see him smirk. It still looks a little lopsided, but it still is wonderful.

"So, you love me, right?" I nodded profusely.

"Of course I love you. I don't think I could ever love another person. And I am hoping you love me the same, right?" He presented me with another small box. I unwrapped it, but he stopped my hand before I opened it.

"Duo, let me ask you this first. Will you marry me?" I stared at him, my jaw probably touching the floor. He just.ask.marry? Me? Heero? I think my life passed across my eyes and I blinked rapidly. He closed my jaw and looked at me curiously. I was trying to answer him, but no sound would come out.

"First, open the box, Second, if you don't want it, just give it back. Third, you look like a fish." I gave him a light glare and I opened the box. It was a silver ring with Japanese symbols carved into it. In the grooves sat tiny diamonds, glittering up at me. It was such a beautiful ring.my eyes must have gotten even larger, if that was possible.

"Hee..ah..wow...uh.chan.." He lifted my chin so he could look right into my eyes.

"Duo, you don't need to give me an answer right now. Think about it for awhile. I know we have only officially been going out for two weeks and all but I truly love you and I don't think I could ever love anyone else." I shook my head no. I saw something falter in his eyes.

"No.uh.yes." He blinked a few times.

"Duo, try to make sense?" I shook my head and touched his soft lips to mine. I nipped at his bottom lip until he gasped and thrusted my tongue into his mouth. I teased his tongue and felt his hand run through my hair, which I had left down just for him. I ended up straddling him and moving my hands up and down his sides. I slowly released him, our lips still only an inch apart.

"Yes, Heero. I will." He smirked and brushed our lips gently together. All of the sudden, our little chime doorbell went off. I looked at Heero with big eyes.

"Who could that be?" Heero shrugged and I got off of his warm lap. I put on the ring, seeing Heero smirk, and bounded over to the door. I quickly put my hair in a pony tail and stuck it in my shirt. I opened it a crack and stuck my head through.

"Yes?" I saw Relena Peacecraft standing there, frowning at me.

"Mhm.I think I might remember you from somewhere.well anyways, is Heero home?" I nodded.

"One sec, I need to see if he is busy." I closed the door and I frantically motioned for Heero to come over to me.

"It's Relena, should I let her in?" He shrugged.

"Damn it.but let her in." I opened the door wide enough so she could pass through and she gave me a dirty look. What is her problem? Maybe it was her time of the month.when I was hanging around Hildi, I always knew around the fifth of the month to escape and let her be. She could kill a man with her bare hands.well.maybe with only one hand. It was very frightening. Heero was still sitting on the couch, sipping a cup of coffee. He handed me and Relena a mug, how did he get these so fast?, and I sat down next to him. Relena sat opposite of us, looking at all the flowers. I grinned.

"Decorating overhaul." I nudged Heero gently and smirked. He remained stone faced and I rolled my eyes.

"Relena, what brings you here?" I could tell Heero was trying to be nice. You just don't purposely be rude to some innocent stalker, you know. But I really couldn't stand her, not then, not now. Although, she seemed to get a little better in the annoying stalker personality. She glanced over at me, like she was frightened or something and looked back at Heero.

"Well, I just came by to wish you a happy Valentine's Day. Oh, and I got you a small card. But open it later." He nodded when she handed him the card. He pocketed it and itched his bare chest. He yawned and shook his head. I could see Relena's eyes follow Heero's every move. It was kinda creepy.

"Oh sorry, I just woke up a few minutes ago." Relena nodded and got up.

"Well, I will see you again. And don't forget to read the card." She nodded at me and quickly left the house as quickly as she came.

"Does she do that often?" He nodded and preceded to itch his chest again. I itched my chest and slapped my hand.

"Stop itching yourself, its making me itchy. I guess I'm your fiancé now, right?" He nodded and laid down on the couch. I jumped on top of him and snuggled into his chest.

"I sure hope so. And no, I'm itchy so I am going to scratch my chest." I sat up and looked at his torso. I started laughing and he looked up at me curiously.

"What? Why are you laughing?" I pointed and he looked down at himself. His eyes widened a little.

"What are those dots?" I wiped my eyes and spread some lotion on his chest. I started to rub it in, having him relax almost instantly. His skin melted at my touch.

"Well, my lovely koi, I think you just may have the chicken pox." His eyes shot open and he stopped my hands from massaging him.

"I can't have anything. I am supposed to be immune to everything." I shook my head.

"Well obviously, you have the chicken pox. I already had a really bad case of it when I was younger, so I wont get it from you." I giggled again when I saw his chest. He groaned and rubbed his face.

"Duo, you're making me even more itchy!" I got of off him before I exploded into peals of laughter.

"It's not that funny." He stalked into the bathroom and I followed him, trying to keep a straight face. He was examining himself in the mirror and it looked like he had a bad case of acne.

"Mhm.Hee-koi, I'm going to run to the store for a few minutes. I wont be long, and I suggest you take a bath. But don't use any soap or your skin will burn like nothing else." He sighed.

"But my hair feels gross." I shrugged and turned on the water.

"Well too bad. I will be back with some stuff. See you later." He tugged on my loose hair and I walked out of the room to hear him grumbling about something. I found a discarded t-shirt in the hallway and put it on over mine. It was black with little white writing on it that said, who are you and why are you reading my shirt? It matched perfectly with my orange shiny sleepy pants. Well, not really, but I didn't care. I slipped on my black converse shoes, cheap and they last forever and a day, put a pimp jacket on and opened the door. It was cold. Very, very cold. I ran down the street, almost slipping on some ice, and burst through the pharmacy door. I wiped my feet and walked down the isles. I grabbed a few bags of candy, a scarf, some more lube, and finally, the chicken pox stuff. Some oatmeal lotion, oatmeal bath crap, and some medication to help ease the fever that Hee-chan probably has. I then noticed that my hair was down. I never, ever had my hair down in public. Only Heero and perhaps Trowa, Quat and Wufei have seen it down. I didn't even let Hildi see it down. It was like a holy moment to see me unbraid my hair. And here I was, standing in some misspelled pharmacy with a bunch of shit in my arms, with my hair down. I breathed in deeply and forced myself to walk towards the counter. I didn't like it when people saw me with my hair down. It.it made people stare and when I talk to them, they can't respond. I set my stuff down on the counter and the check out girl, who was chewing gum, looked me up and down. I stood there, digging around in my pocket for my credit card.

"35.67." I gave her my card and she swiped it. Her eyes got a little big when she saw how much was in my account.

"Wow.you're rich too?"

"Why too? Who else is filthy rich?" She shook her head and gave me the bag.

"No. Your sexy, rich, and I betting you're polite too. Too bad you're taken." She looked at my ring. I shrugged and wrapped the scarf around my neck. I opened the door and stepped out into the frigid air. Snow started to gently fall around me and I breathed in deeply. I coughed and started jogging down the street. I stopped at the coffee shop, got ogled again, and left jogging down the street again, sipping my hot chocolate. I didn't feel like coffee at the moment. I finally reached my sanctuary to hear someone throwing up. Uh oh, I bet Heero washed himself with soap too. I kicked off my shoes and coat and padded down the hallway to the bathroom, bag in hand.

Heero was hunched over the toilet in his boxers, throwing up everything he has eaten for the week. I touched his back lightly as he gave a last heave.

"Oh god, Heero. Are you okay." He nodded shakily and rested his forehead on the toilet seat. I kissed the back of his neck and turned off the bath. I dumped in the oatmeal stuff and slid off Heero's boxers. I slowly put him in the tub and I could see he was tired.

"You've really never gotten sick before, have you?" He nodded weakly as I put a cool cloth on his head. I gave him a sip of my hot chocolate, seeing him shiver. He must really be sick. I sat on the toilet seat, watching Heero struggle to wash his hair. I wouldn't touch him because I knew when you're sick like that, you don't really want to be touched. It makes you feel sicker. He rinsed his hair and closed his eyes again. I unplugged the bath and lifted him out of the water.

"Duo, I can walk. I'm just a little sick, that's all. And half of it is because of the damn card Relena gave me. She asked me to marry her. Ug." I shook my head and I walked upstairs. I set him gently in his room, which had a private bathroom, and put a cool cloth on his forehead. I placed a bucket near the side of the bed and guided his hand towards it.

"You rest, okay? You're really sick, even though you deny it. Stay in bed unless you have to go to the bathroom. Don't itch yourself or I will punch you in the face. Don't think about Relena or the card either. Now stay like a good dog." I smirked when I saw him frown.

"I am not a dog."

"No, you're not a dog, you're my dog." I snickered when I saw him give me the middle finger.

"Already do. If you need me, just call." He grumbled and I saw him try to relax. I patted his hand and left the room. Oh damn, I have to take care of my sick fiancé. Mhm.that sounds good. My fiancé. Wow, I am actually going to get married. I survived the war, I am getting married to the one man I love, and I live in a decent town. All of my dreams came true. Everything I had wished for is true! Nothing can make me sad now. I had found perfect bliss, even if I need to take care of Heero, it still is euphoria. My life is perfect now. Nothing could ever have been better.

~owari~

A/N: I am probably ending my little saga now. I might feel the need to continue it some other time, like include the wedding or something, but I think it is finished. For everyone who wants to know, Heero recovered rather quickly, Relena became insane after she found out the two of them were engaged, and everyone is living happily. Oh, and Trowa and Quatre finally did get married. They had a double wedding with Heero and Duo. Could I ever be any more sappy? Well, hope you liked it. The_Vampiric_Hermit@gundamwing.net
