Star-Crossed Lover - Part 7
"Goddammit! Ow!" Duo swore as he climbed the back wall into the house. For a master of stealth, he was not being very stealthy...
'I shouldn't be doing this. I'm way too distracted,' he thought, 'What can I do though? I promised to meet Heero so that he could explain and maybe for us to find a way for this to work. How can it work? First of all I'm a Maxwell and he's a Yuy. Then, there's the pink one.' He shuddered.
'Not that there's much we can do about that, and I'm almost positive he's afraid of her... Well, of course. Who wouldn't be? Especially with the way she chased him around... Then, there's me. So, I like guys? When did that happen? Well, all the evidence points to yes, but I've never felt that way with anyone before, guy or girl. I know for a fact that Heero does something for me, as evidenced by the most amazing kiss I've ever gotten or given earlier. He awakens something inside me I've never known, thought, or dreamt about. God! I love him... Wait! I love him! That's what it is...'
"Ooof!"
*****
'Ugh! It took forever to ditch the pink powder puff this time,' Heero thought as he walked along the perimeter wall of the mansion, hoping he would run into Duo. 'She is just relentless, and not to mention insane! How could she ever think I could love her. She's shrill, annoying, clingy, and, shudder, pink! I don't know how anyone could even think about allowing her to rule Sank when her brother passes... God, he better find a wife soon. Relena as the ruler of Sank. God, I couldn't even imagine. Everything would be pink.
'Hmmm, now to more pleasant musings. Duo. Jeez, I'm like some giddy schoolgirl. He's just so… So Duo. That hair, those eyes, him. It's all him. He lights up every room he's in, making everyone envious. The men for attracting all the girls away from them, and the women for his beautiful hair and eyes. I don't know how he's not taken. How did I get so lucky? A couple of hours ago, I was bemoaning my fate of being Relena's homosexual prince,' he snickered. 'And now, I'm in love with my beautiful Shinigami.
'Now, what to do about that... It really shouldn't matter that I'm a Yuy and he's a Maxwell, but it does. Then, there's the fact that everyone expects us to have heirs, and continue fighting this ridiculous feud which makes no sense at all. I love Wufei like a brother, but he needs to get over this ridiculous fighting... If we were married, maybe that would stop the fighting for good, or we would be exiled from our families. Either way, I would be with Duo, and that's all that matters. I hope I can convince him...'
"Ooof!"
*****
Both Heero and Duo were so wrapped up in their own thoughts that they didn't see each other as they collided. "Ooof! Oops sorry!" they said in unison.
"Heero!"
"Duo!"
They both laughed. "Wow," Heero said. "I didn't think you would come so soon. I mean, I had hoped that you would, but I was afraid you wouldn't."
"I was afraid to come, but there was just something about that kiss."
"I know."
"I mean, Heero, I've never felt anything like that before. It was amazing, I felt connected to you. I've never felt that with anyone. I want to know you like I've never wanted to know anyone before. I guess that's the way you feel about me, huh?"
Heero was so happy that Duo felt that way about him, he was ready to burst, but instead of shouting for joy, he pulled Duo close and crushed him into an embrace. Duo looked up at him with love shining in those ever expressive violet eyes, and kissed him. Chastely at first, then seeking entrance to Heero's mouth, tasting him, connecting with Heero the same way they had before. All the love they both felt was pouring into a kiss that was slowly heating up into something more passionate and loving. Realizing they both needed air to live Duo, stopped and took a step back.
"Whoa! So, now what are we going to do?"
"I've been thinking about that Duo. I know I hate all the fighting between our families, and I was hoping that you felt the same way about it..."
"Yah! I know I totally agree. It's pointless and accomplishes nothing. All it begets is more hate and more death; both of which, no one needs."
"So, I was thinking that maybe, if we were married, we would be able to stop this useless fighting by making our families one. I mean, the worst that could happen is that we would be disowned, but we would still be together and we would never have to fight again. That is my fondest wish; to be with the one I love, and to never have to kill again. Duo, I--"
"Heero!!!" J, called out over the garden, interrupting the two.
"Hold on a minute. I'll get rid of him, then we can talk about it."
'Marry Heero, huh?' Duo thought. 'Until a few hours ago, I was ready to throw my heart on a platter in front of Hilde, and now Heero has essentially asked me to marry him. Can I be so fickle? Or is it that I have been waiting all my life for Heero, and just have never noticed him, because the only other times we've met have been on the battlefield. God knows, he would never recognize me on the battlefield...
'I've already come to the conclusion that I love him more than I've ever loved anyone. Can I take the next step, and, in effect, eliminate the fighting in my family with finding the love of my life. It seems almost too good to be true...'
Interrupting his thoughts, Heero spoke. "Duo? Have you thought about it?"
"Yes, love, and I think that you maybe right, but I will have to talk with Father Maxwell about this. He would be the one who would perform the marriage ceremony."
"Really, Duo? You want to marry me?" Heero said in glee, as he ran into Duo's arms, and kissed him quite soundly, until both were out of breath.
"I will go talk to Father Maxwell this morning, and you will send someone you trust to see me in the square this morning. I will send word to you when we will meet to perform the ceremony. Okay?"
"Yes, my love. Tomorrow we will be married, and nothing will be able to stop us from doing things like this," Heero said, rushing into Duo's arms once more, and kissed him again and again, until Duo had enough and took control. Pushing him up against the garden wall, Duo placed kisses all along Heero's neck and collarbone, causing Heero to moan in need.
"You want me that much, love?" Duo whispered into Heero's ear as they ground against each other, both fully aroused. All Heero could do was moan in response to Duo's ministrations, hoping they would never stop. But, Duo would have stop, or he would end up taking Heero right there in the middle of the garden, which was not a good idea quite yet.
"Heero, we have to stop, or I will end up taking you right here. Send me someone you trust tomorrow, and we will be wed soon. Then, nothing on this earth will be able to stop me from making love to you. I love you. 'Til tomorrow, then..."
With that, Duo leapt over the wall, leaving Heero breathing heavily while leaning against the garden wall, and all he could think was, "Damn!"
