Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing. I do own any characters that I made up.

Duo: Why are you doing the disclaimer? I thought you said you wouldn't do it anymore.

Me: I know.

Duo: Then why is it up there

Me: Because it's a habit.

Duo: Riiiiiiight.

Me: Shut up Duo. It's too cold to argue.

Duo: It's not cold!
Me: Then why are you shivering?

Duo: It's from anticipation

Me: Why are your teeth chattering?
Duo: Shut up. I'm cold already!

Me: Good for you.

Duo: Why'd you say that?
Me: I don't know.

Duo: You're weird.

Me: So are you.

Duo: I know!^_^

Me: ^_^

Battle of the Heart
Chapter Twelve: Comfort

The group had just gotten home from their 'interesting' dinner. Reiko, Kri, Cathrine, Sally, and Noin were trying to calm Lenx down. Duo was off somewhere venting his steam, with Heero and Trowa making sure he didn't try anything stupid and Quatre was making tea and sandwiches, as they could not eat at the restaurant. Wufei had gone to train and Relena wasn't back yet. After Lenx had calmed down, Reiko and Kri walked her to her bedroom.

"Listen Lenx-chan, Sasori will not hurt you with us here. And I doubt Duo would let him lay a hand on you anyways." Kri said and grinned at the blush on Lenx's face.

"And also, I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier." She said as she left the room.

"And I'm sorry for beating you up, Lenx-chan." Reiko said as she, too, left the room. Lenx smiled as she watched her 'sisters' leave her room. I'm glad that I have great friends like them. She thought as she pulled on some pajamas. As she started to get into bed a knock was heard on her door.

"Come in!" She called as leaned against the headboard on her bed. Duo stuck his head in to make sure that Lenx was dressed before going into the room, shutting the door behind him.

"Um, Lenx-chan, I'm sorry that I let Mamushi get away." Duo mumbled as he sat on the bed. Lenx blinked before smiling kindly at him.

"That's okay Duo. Sasori is an excellent fighter and it will be hard to find him let alone kill him or even injure him." She said as she crawled over to Duo and sat next to him.

"Duo, Kri and Reiko were talking to me earlier and, um, they said something, er, that, uh, nevermind." Lenx stuttered as she blushed. Duo grinned.

"I know. I overheard you talking." He said and rubbed his head sheepishly. Lenx gaped at him.

"Duo! You eavesdropper! 'Overheard' my butt!" Lenx said as she threw her pillow at Duo, who caught it and threw it back. Lenx was to slow to stop it and got a face full of feathers. She looked at the remains of her pillow and then glared at Duo.

"Now look what you did! You tore up my only pillow!" She huffed.

"I can be your pillow." Duo said and hugged her. Lenx dropped the pillow and just sat there.

"D-Duo." She stuttered as Duo turned her face to look at him.

"Lenx-chan, I like you. A lot. Can I be yours?" He whispered as he held her chin. Lenx barely nodded before Duo leaned in to kiss her. His soft lips held hers as she put her hands around his neck while Duo put his hands around her waist. Suddenly the two jumped apart when a knock was heard at Lenx's door.

"C-come in." Lenx said as Kri opened the door. She raised an eyebrow at Lenx and Duo's appearances but didn't say anything.

"I just wanted to tell you that school doesn't start until noon tomorrow. You can sleep in." She said and left when Lenx and Duo nodded. After an uncomfortable silence, Duo stood up to leave but Lenx grabbed his hand.

"Is what you said earlier true? Or was it a lie?" She asked quietly. Duo stared at her, shocked before he sat down on the bed and hugged Lenx again.

"It was true. I love you Lenx." He whispered. Lenx sighed contentedly as she leaned against his chest.

"Duo, do you think you can stay in here tonight?" Lenx asked as she lay down on her bed. Duo nodded and smiled as he slipped into the bed with her.

"Oyasumi Nasai, Lenx-chan." He whispered and kissed her head.

"Oyasumi, Duo." Lenx whispered back as the two fell off to sleep.

Sorry for the short chapter. It was filled with lots of fluff though!^_^ And don't ask me about the pillow thing. I have NO idea where that came from. Duo is not here right now because he said he had some matters to attend to.*cough*Lenx-chan*cough* Anyways, please review! Animechick8
