~~~Punishment~~~

"Stop," Heero said, standing in the doorway of the bathroom. "It was my fault. Duo was just giving me a hug when I pushed him off of me and he hit the vase."((BTW that was a recap, to refresh ya' alls memories.))

"So, you were lying Duo!" Mrs. Yuy said.

"No! I should have known not to hug him; he is just not used to me yet. It was because of me." Duo pleaded, tears coming to his eyes.

"I was my fault; I shouldn't have gotten mean, just because you hugged me." Heero stated, looking at Duo, as if trying to say he was sorry.

"How about I punish both of you and we get over this." Mrs. Yuy said, looking annoyed with the two boys, who kept saying that they were the ones at fault. Both boys just looked at her, Duo's face a mask of fear, Heero's face solemn. Mrs. Yuy took the boys silence for an ok. "Than both of you are grounded to your room until tomorrow." She declared.

Duo just stared at her aghast. Heero watched Duo with a quizzical look on his face. "Uh. Duo, are. are you ok?" Heero asked, while leading Duo to the room that they were now to share. Duo looked over at Heero, who was leading him by the hand, and just blinked a few times, still looking very dazed and confused.

"I-is this all that we get for punishment?" Duo asked when he finally found his voice; still looking to Heero for an answer.

"Yeah. What did you expect, a spanking. or something like that?" He responded, giving Duo a look that said 'you have to be joking'.

"Well, I was thinking that we would not get food at all tomorrow, or we would get beat for being bad." Duo explained, looking sad.

"Duo, parents don't beat there kids. normally, that is." Heero said, giving Duo flat look ((like this -.-)). "Just remember what your family was like before you went to the orphanage."

"Well. you see; I only had Solo before I went to the orphanage, but he told me he was not my real family. He found me when I was really young, and he raised me. until he died that is." What Duo had said made Heero just stand there wide eyed, gawking at him.

"You mean, you have never had a family? That the last person you remember taking care of you was a guy named Solo?" Heero blabbed. He did not mean to, nor did he mean to make Duo feel bad, he just lost control of himself for a minute. "Ne-never mind, I should not have asked, it is not my place."

Duo smiled softly at him, which amazed him quite a bit. "It is alright, I guess I have gotten used to the idea that Solo died." Heero suddenly had the urge to give Duo a huge hug, and not to let him go until all the pain that was showing in Duo's face was gone.

"You boys are supposed to be in your room, now get moving!" Mrs. Yuy commanded when she noticed the two boys standing in the middle of the hall. At her voice the boys scampered off to the room; closing the door quickly behind them.

"Maybe we should just get ready for bed now." Heero suggested, starting to change into his pajamas.

"Ok, but. I don't have any pajamas, these are the only clothes I have, and everything else belonged to the orphanage." Duo explained, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Oh, you can borrow some of my stuff 'til you get new things." Heero said, pulling out a pair of old pajamas that were getting to small for him, hoping that they would fit Duo.

They didn't, they were still too big for him, the shirt slipping off his shoulders, the bottoms trying to fall off as well.

"Err. sorry they are so big." Heero offered, blushing slightly as he though Duo looked even smaller, and cuter in the over sized clothes.

"It's no big deal, these fit better than most of the stuff at the orphanage anyway." Duo said, giving Heero a huge grin. "At the orphanage I would normally only wear a top. because the bottoms would fall right off." Duo finished, blushing a bit himself.

"I guess we have to share the bed too." Heero pointed out.

"I will take the outside." Duo offered, not having any problem with sharing the bed. "Are you sure? You could fall off." Heero said, looking worried.

"Yes, I roll in my sleep, so I would fall off either way, and I wouldn't want to roll over you." Duo said, a completely innocent look on his face.

"Sorry if I kick you, people say I kick in my sleep." Heero said, crawling to the wall-side of the bed.

"It is alright!" Duo exclaimed, a large smile plastered to his face. He snuggled up under the covers. The two of them soon finding that the small bed was never intended to hold two people, even two as small as them, comfortably. As Duo drifted off to sleep, seemingly un-consciously, he reached out and embraced Heero in a soft hug, using his shoulder for a pillow.

"Oyasumi Duo-kun" Heero said, smiling ever so softly. "He's cute." Heero whispered softly into the night, wondering why he was so lose around Duo, and why he felt he could say anything and never have to worry about it.

Soon Heero also drifted off to sleep, finding the warmth of another body beside him comforting.

"Boys it's time to get up" Mrs. Yuy said, peering into the room to find the two boys snuggled up close, looking so very cute. ((Fanart inspiration!!!! Now I have to draw that. err. I should finish the chapter first shouldn't I?))

Heero started to wake from the call his mother had made, but Duo stayed stubbornly asleep. Heero looked down at the smaller boy curled up on his chest, his mouth slightly open as he breathed evenly. Heero felt a soft tickle on the side of his face, looking over he found the end of a now very messy braid was the source. Gently Heero started to sake Duo.

"Hey Duo it's time to get up." Heero said softly, hoping not to scare the boy out of his sleep. All he received for his effort was a soft grunt and a small shift in position from Duo. Heero gave his a small, quizzical look. ((Kinda like this O.o)) Trying again Heero raised his voice a little bit and shook Duo slightly harder. Again he gained very little. On his third try having raised his voice and shaking Duo just a bit harder Heero gained quite a bit; Duo rolled over, and promptly fell off the side of the bed.

"Ow." Duo complained as he rose sleepy eyed. Duo looked over at Heero and gave him a large, sleepy grin that very soon turned into a large yawn. To this Heero could not help but smile. "See, what did I tell you? I fell off the bed."

"Well let's get dressed, it is time for breakfast." Heero said, laughing slightly at Duo. "Oh, Ohayo Duo-kun"

"Hun? What does that mean?" Duo asked.

"It means good morning." Heero explained, pulling out clothes for both of them, Heero handed Duo the clothes for him.

"Oh. well oh-ha-yo. err what ever you said right back at ya'." Duo said, stumbling over the Japanese. Duo took off the pajama top, reviling a back riddled with scars and still fresh wounds.

"Duo, where did you get those?" Heero asked, pointing to his back to signify what he meant. The look on his face was full of worry.

"Oh, these? I got them for being bad; I don't seem to ever get how to be good." Duo said, not giving much regard to the wounds as he pulled the shirt on. Soon Duo and Heero were dressed, but Duo back still seemed to bother Heero.

"Will you let me make sure the open ones are ok?" Heero asked, making sure not to be too forward or pushy about it.

"If that will make you feel better, ok." Duo said. The two of them sitting down at the same table as they had the night before.

They ate in silence for a while, Duo looking uncomfortable, but not wanting to interrupt Heero who seemed to be deep in thought. Finally he gave up and started talking, mostly about the orphanage, because that was what he knew most about. "And the older kids keep the younger ones inline, if the younger ones do something bad both the younger one and the older one in charge of them gets punished." Heero noticed that Duo had been using bad grammar and most of what he had said was just one long, endless sentence.

"Duo, what grade are you in?" Heero asked, wondering if he was just a slow learner or something like that.

"What do you mean? What is a grade?" Duo asked in response.

"You mean you have never been to school?" Heero asked, flabbergasted. Duo nodded in response, a look of confusion on his cute features. "Duo, do you even know what school is?" Heero ventured. This time he received the shake of the head from Duo, but the look on his face said that he knew the answer to that for sure.
