Duo awoke at three the next morning because A)he was sick and B)the dog needed to be walked.It was freezing outside considering it was almost winter.Duo was absent minded and only threw on his boots and a coat.The dog simply ran around licking Duo's legs and wrapping its leash around Duo's legs causing him to fall.

"Shini...please do something.Its cold,"Duo shivered standing up and untangling himself from the leash.The dog just looked up at him and licked his legs again and continued to run around.Duo huddled closer into his jacket.Suddenly feeling warm Duo noticed a blanket around his shoulders.Duo turned around confused.

"Its too cold for you to be out here in a coat and your shorts,"Heero said.

"But Shini had to go,"Duo said pointing at the dog.Heero glared at the dog and it peed right where it stood.

"Maybe you should walk the dog,"Duo laughed.

"If it'll get you back inside...I will,"Heero said taking the leash from Duo and walking the shivering boy back inside with dog in tow.Heero took Duo to bed and crawled in beside him warming the shivering beauty up.

"Do you have to work today,"Duo winned.

"I can always call in sick..if you want me to that is,"Heero said wrapping his arms around his love.

"Please,"Duo sighed snuggling into the embrace.

"Any thing you want,"Heero said.

"Wait a minuet before you do though,"Duo yawned.

"Why,"Heero asked.

"Because I'm comfortable,"Duo said closing his eyes.

"Alright,"Heero said following Duo into slumber land.

Duo awoke that morning to an empty bed.

'So much for Heero staying home.'Duo sighed before he got sick and ran to the bathroom.Once Duo finished he went and layed down on the bed.



"Feel like eating something,"Heero asked scaring Duo.

"Hee...Heero?I thought you went to work."Duo said.

"I told you I was staying home today,"Heero chuckled.

"Well I thought you went anyway,"Duo said.

"Well...You never answered me.Do you feel like eating something,"Heero said.

"Actually I am a little hungry,"Duo blushed.

"Then come with me,"Heero said throwing Duo a pair of jeans.Duo just cocked an eyebrow at Heero and slipped into the jeans.Once that was done Heero took Duo's hand and led him down stairs to the kitchen.

"Oh my gosh,"Duo gasped.

"I did it all by myself,"Heero boasted.

"Looks wonderful,"Duo said looking at the small breakfast fest layed out.

"Thank you,"Heero smiled.

"You're very welcome,but lets see if I can keep myself from being sick long enough to enjoy it,"Duo chuckled.

"Enought talk.Eat,"Heero said pushing Duo into a chair.

"Aiight boss,"Duo said before eating.When Heero and Duo finished their breakfast Heero led Duo into the living room.Heero sat down on the over stuffed couch and motioned for Duo to do the same.

"Lay your head in my lap,"Heero said once Duo had sat down.

"Why,"Duo asked.

"So you'll be comfortable for the movie,"Heero said pulling Duo down to lay on his lap.

"A movie in the morning,"Duo asked.

"Yes and you're going to watch it,"Heero laughed as Duo relaxed.Heero pulled the dvd remote off the tabel next to the couch and flipped on the movie.

"This is nice,"Duo sighed.

"Yeah,"Heero said.

"We actually should do it more often,"Duo said as Heero ran his hands through Duo's hair.

"Yes we should...How about tomorrow,"Heero asked.

"Tomorrow...don't you have to work,"Duo asked.

"No...I requested the whole week off and considering I'm their best worker I get what I want,"Heero smiled looking down to a wide eyed Duo.

"Well aren't you Mr.Smarty Pants,"Duo laughed.

"Sometimes I am,"Heero smiled.

"Hmmm well shhh the movie is starting,"Duo said snuggling up in Heero's lap.Heero just laughed and turned his attention to the movie.Once the movie finished Duo realized something.

"Heero,"Duo asked still laying in Heero's lap.

"Yes,"Heero answered streching.

"Where's Shini,"Duo asked.

"I put him in the laundry room so he wouldn't be fussing duirning the movie,"Heero said.

"Would it bother you if I go get Shini,"Duo asked sitting up.

"Of course not koi,"Heero answered.As soon as the words left Heero's mouth Duo was up and heading towards the laundry room.

"AAAHHHH Shini!Don't that tickles!Stop,"Heero heard Duo laugh and couldn't help,but smile to himself.Heero shook his head as the laughter continued.Heero stood and walked over to the laundry room and saw Duo laying on his back with the black puppy licking Duo's face.Heero just rolled his eyes and kneeled down next to Duo's laughing form.

"You want a turn at being bathed in puppy saliva,"Duo asked holding the pup off him while he sat up.

"I'll pass thanks,"Heero said.Duo just stuck his tongue out at Heero.Heero only cocked an eyebrow and laughed.

"Is that an invitation,"Heero asked.

"OHH nooo buster!You're the one who got me into this mess,"Duo said pointing to his stomach.

"I'm sorry love,"Heero replied kissing Duo's lips quickly.

"Well there's nothing either one of us can do...so I'm just going to let it run its course,"Duo shrugged.

"There's always one option left if you don't want the baby,"Heero said with a worried face.

"NO!No more killing.I can't stand the blood on my hands as it is.It's not that bad.At least the docs can fix it once its over,"Duo smiled.

"Ture,"Heero nodded petting the squirming puppy's head.

"Here hold him while I get on a shirt,"Duo said handing the puppy over.Heero held it as far away as he could so it wouldn't lick him all over the face.Duo just laughed and grabbed a shirt out of the dryer.

"You want to come with me to walk him,"Duo asked taking the puppy back from Heero while Heero stood.

"Sure,"Heero smiled wrapping an arm around Duo's slim waist.

"Good,"Duo smiled grabbing the puppy's leash and walking out the back door,connected to the laundry room,with Heero in tow.

"Duo...were are we going,"Heero asked after a few minuets of walking.

"To the park,"Duo laughed watching Shini try to eat a rolling leaf.

"Why,"Heero shivered in the November air.

"Because I'm tired of being cooped up in the house,"Duo sighed.

"Well why didn't you say anything,"Heero asked.

"Because you're usually busy with work and I didn't want to make you mad at me by annoying you,"Duo frowned.

"Duo I wouldn't get mad at you,"Heero said turning to face Duo.

"You use to,"Duo said meeting his eyes.

"That was then Duo...this is now,"Heero said with a soft kiss.Duo sighed as Heero broke away.

"I'll hold you to that next time you threaten me with your I'm going to kill you lines,"Duo smiled being jerked forward by the pup.

"How can something this small be so strong,"Duo laughed as he let himself be dragged.

"Great things come in small packages,"Heero smiled following his love.
