Wu Fei walked into the kitchen and saw Quatre was still placing all the dishes on the table.
"Need some help Quatre?" Wu Fei smiled.
"Yes, thank you Wu Fei." Quatre beamed.
"My pleasure." Wu Fei grabbed the bowl of mashed potatoes and green beans and set them in the center of the dinner table.
Duo walks in cleaned and groomed. "Alright...all my favorite foods are here!" he cheered.
"Since when did you have just one group of favorite foods. I always thought anything you could eat was your favorite." Wu Fei replied.
"I am insulted! I do not like everything, but close to." Duo laughed. "Wu Fei...you know me to well. *smiles* Guess that means I have to change my style. Shinigami must be a mystery to all!"
Quatre laughs. "Well we all know you Duo. You won't be able to change your eating habits!"
Duo sticks out his tongue.
"Please keep that where it belongs!" Wu Fei muttered.
Duo sticks it out at him too.
They all burst out laughing, as Trowa walks into the kitchen.
"Trowa! Buddy! You missed all the fun!" Duo said throwing an arm around Trowa.
"Did I?" Trowa said silently. "That's a shame..." He glanced around the room and noticed Quatre seemed to be trying to ignore him. Duo notices Trowa's pained expression and looked at Quatre.
"Hey don't worry Tro, Quatre's gonna forgive you and you two will live happier ever after!" Duo whispered and Trowa laughed.
Wu Fei glances at the two boys whispering to each other. 'What are they whispering about...'
"Happier ever after is it??" Trowa smiled.
"You bet! Just like in the fairy tales" Duo beamed. "Only difference is you don't get some cool armor and fight off dragons..." Duo pretended to have a sword and was jabbing at something.
Wu Fei stared oddly at Duo, until Duo remembered Quatre and Wu Fei were in the room as well. He turned to look at Wu Fei and laughed off the odd look he was getting. "Hey Wu! Um...just talking about having a little sword duel with Tro here....heh heh."
"If you say so Duo..." Wu Fei sat down.
"Where is Heero?" Quatre asks bringing the lemonade to the table. "I called him as well...was he upstairs with you Duo?"
Duo blushed from thinking of the kiss. "Um...no he was in the living room when I walked in."
"He must be there then. Would you go and bring him to the dinner table Duo?" Quatre asked.
"Sure..." Duo bounced out of the room and into the living room.
The living room was dark, except for an eerie green glow that was coming from Heero's lap top. Duo looked at the lap top, and wondered where Heero was. He wasn't seated in front of it like he normally was and there was no clicking of keys heard in the room.
"Heero you in here?? Where's that darn lamp..." Duo made his way to the coffee table where a small lamp was placed. He clicked it on, shielding his eyes from the bright glow. Duo looked around the living room but saw no one. "Where'd you go? Darn perfect soldier...don't tell me you got some mission..."
Duo walks over to the lap top and starts reading the screen. It was a lot of information on the latest OZ base and the manufacturing of the mobile suits, it didn't appear to be any type of mission. Duo decided to just go back to the kitchen and tell the others that Heero had gone off again.
Duo turned around and immediately jumped and gave a small scream. Heero was standing right behind him, his eyes practically glowing the same green color as his lap top.
"Damn it Heero! Must you always sneak up on me like that! Do you want to get yourself punched in the face for it!" Duo said giving Heero a small glare.
Heero just remained standing and staring at Duo. And Duo started getting uncomfortable.
"Um...well dinner is ready and Quatre wants you at the table so...let's go." Duo moved past Heero.
"Are you and Trowa...together?" Heero said silently.
Duo stopped and turned to look at Heero, who was still facing the other way. "What did you say?"
"I...never mind. It's not important." Heero went back to his lap top and started typing.
Duo stared at the back of Heero's head. "Trowa is my friend Heero I told you that already...he just needs someone to help him with his problem with Quatre. I don't see what makes you think we're together...and even more...why do you care if I was with him...you never seemed to care about me before...why the change all of a sudden?"
Heero stiffened. "I never said I didn't care..." He snapped back.
"Well your attitude sure was telling me you didn't care in the least about anything other than missions and yourself! You always lock yourself up in your own in machine like body! Always off to rescue Relena, threatening to kill me, and not appreciating any thing I'd do for you! What do you want me to do! Sit here and baby you while I...never mind. I think you just want to try and use me, and cause you see me and Trowa as real friends you got all jealous!" Duo looked away.
"You think I asked to be a "Perfect Soldier"!! I do appreciate...the things you do Duo..."
"Yeah right.." Duo crossed his arms and kept staring at the wall. "You're a cold hearted bastard..."
Heero stared at Duo with pain in his eyes. Seeing Duo didn't care he glared. "I think you're the bastard Duo...you'll always asking for attention and think you're better than everyone just because you call yourself "Shinigami". It's time to wake up Duo...you're not no God!"
Duo started laughing. "Always the cold one...I'll leave you to your only friend Heero Yuy..." Duo turned towards the kitchen.
'Why am I saying all these things to him....I love him yet it hurt to hear him call me those things...so I lashed out at him. What he said about me was true, that must be why I lashed out...is it? Or is that what I truly feel about Duo?' Heero closes his eyes "Duo, I love you!" He blurts out, not intending to have it said out loud.
Duo was still within hearing range, so when he heard those words he stopped. 'What did he say? Am I hearing things?'
Heero opened his eyes when he realized what he blurted out. He sees Duo standing at the door way of the living room. 'Opportunity knocks but one single time...' he thought to himself. "Duo...I mean it. I meant what I just said. I'm sorry I said those things about you...I was just hurt by what you said about me...because everything you said is true. I do always treat you like some unimportant tool in battle...and even then I do treat you much better. Seeing you so close to Trowa made me long for that same opportunity. I'm not good with words, feelings, or being a human, and you seemed to be able to bring that out in Trowa." Heero fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Duo remain where he was.
~~~~~~~~Kitchen~~~~~~~~
"I wonder what's taking them so long..." Quatre said.
Wu Fei blushed thinking of what he saw earlier. "I'm sure they'll be here when they are."
"Did you hear yelling coming from the living room?" Trowa asked looking at the door.
Quatre thought about it and could have sworn he had heard something to that effect not too long ago.
"Well I heard something." Wu Fei said. "But I was too busy talking with you two."
Trowa gets up. "Well I'll go see what's taking so long."
"Good idea. Maybe they got into a fight again." Quatre said.
Trowa leaves the kitchen.
~~~~~~~~~~~Living Room~~~~~~~~~
Duo turns to face Heero. "I'm sorry Heero. I just get a little up tight about things! *laughs* But hey I didn't mean to get so cruel with my use of words..." He gives Heero a big grin. "I've wanted to hear you say that you love me though...I love you as well."
Heero eyes went wide with shock. 'He...loves me too'
"Don't get so surprised, Heero!" Duo laughs at Heero's expression. "I guess I shouldn't have been more confident about your feelings after you kissed me this afternoon but I was still afraid since I didn't hear you speak your feelings out to me. I suppose you felt the same way..."
"Yes...I was sitting here waiting for you to come and say something to me..." Heero stood and walked over to Duo.
"You were!!" Duo slapped his forehead. "I'm sorry! I had some work to do! And then Trowa and I were having a basketball thing going! I saw you in here but I thought you were too busy to talk, and I didn't want to bother you when you're working!" Duo smiled and gave Heero a hug, when he stood close enough.
Heero smiles and returns the hug.
Trowa steps in the door way and see the two boys hugging and decides it's best not to bother those two. He quietly returns to the kitchen.
"Where are Duo and Heero?" Quatre asks.
"They're coming." Trowa says sitting down quietly.
Wu Fei stares at Trowa for any signs that Trowa may have walked in on them kissing but if the boy saw anything he wasn't showing it on his face. Wu Fei sat back and continued eating.
"Come on Heero...we should get ourselves to the dinner table before Wu Fei eats all the food. I'm starving." Duo grabs Heero's hand and drags him out of the living. Heero smirks.
"I doubt Wu Fei has an eating habit like you do Duo..." Heero says yanking Duo into his arms and lightly kissing him.
"Maybe...but he may do something to the food so I won't be able to eat much!" Duo said beaming at Heero.
They walk into the kitchen hand in hand. Quatre is quick to notice this and smiles. Wu Fei is a bit shocked they walked in like that.
'So Heero's not embarrassed to show a little emotions...and they finally seem happy.'
Trowa glances at them, smiles at Duo and continues eating.
"Hey! Great Wu Fei didn't eat all the food!" Duo cheers.
Wu Fei looks up at Duo and glares. " I'm not you DUO!"
Duo and Heero laugh and sit down to eat.
