Seed to a Tree

I wrote this fic because I am the biggest 1X2 fan and I have way too much time on my hands.

Warnings: Yaoi! If homosexuality makes you more than slightly uncomfortable, than kindly take your business somewhere else. Some strong language. Sexual references and acts (Lemon/Lime) in later chapters, but let's cross that taboo bridge when we come to it. It'll get kinda angsty later . . . maybe.

Disclaimer: As much as I want to I do not own Gundam Wing, but I make them do naughty things anyway.

Heero and Duo both sat on the bed, each not wanting to be the first to speak, both longing for a break in the silence. Every time one moved the other jumped as if startled.
Duo was starting to wonder what he had gotten himself into. This was the longest he had gone without talking in . . . well, ever. He was so nervous he didn't think he could talk if he tried. He knew he had to do something soon.
"So, uh, how long have you and Releena been together?"
"Do you want to hear something interesting?" Heero said with a depressed look on his face. "I hate Releena Peacecraft. I can't stand her. But, I can't get away. I know what I want, I'm just too scared to take it."
Duo was confused beyond all measurements, "What do you want?"

Heero didn't even answer. He wrapped his arms around Duo's neck and pushed is mouth on the other boy's. Duo's eyes went wide with shock at first, then slowly closed. He felt like he should be pulling away, but he didn't want to. Instead he felt his own arms wrapping around Heero's waist, pulling him closer.
Heero's mind was surprisingly clear. His only thoughts were 'he wants me back.' Every other impulse was focused on Duo. When he broke from the kiss he was breathless. Before he could say anything, he heard footsteps outside his doorway. Panicked, he shoved Duo to the other side of the bed and prayed that he would understand.
Releena opened the door and glanced at Duo, "Well, now that my meeting is over, why don't you introduce me to your friend?"
"Actually I was just leaving," Duo said in a pleasant voice.
Heero tried to hide his disappointment as Duo walked out of the dorm room. His hatred for Releena growing with every breath, he stood up and walked into the kitchen. Releena stood watching him. This was very odd, she had never seen Heero act this way before. And since when did he have friends? A small part of her was worried. She felt like she was losing her grip on Heero. Then she smiled; she knew one way to get it back. She slowly walked up behind him and ran her hands up his back.
"What do you want?" asked Heero in an irritated voice.
Releena didn't answer but ran her tongue along the base of his neck. Placing her mouth near his ear, she whispered, "What makes you think you can talk to me like that?"

"What makes you think you could talk to me like that?" Heero angrily jerked out of Releena's grasp.
"I don't know if you're forgetting who I am," hissed Releena. "I own you. You know what I can do to you. If you think I won't hesitate to ruin your life, you're wrong. You had better get your priorities straight."
As much as he didn't want to admit it, he knew she was right. Furious with both her and himself, he glared at her and stormed out of the dorm.

Duo sat in his room crouched against the wall with his head in his hands. What was happening to him? He was so confused. He had had fleeting feelings of what seemed like attraction for Heero Yuy before, but they had always passed. But when Heero had kissed him. . . . Duo had always been alone. His entire town had been killed in an attack when he was still an infant. As an orphan, he had been given the appropriate nickname "Shinigami.' Everyone who ever got close to him ended up dead.
He lifted a hand to his face and was astonished to find it wet. Great, now he was crying. Duo clutched his head in his hands. He was so consumed by his grief that he didn't hear the door open. When he lifted his head, he found himself looking at Heero's face, which was filled with concern.
"Heero, what's happening to me?"
Heero knelt down and gently took Duo in his arms. "I don't know, but whatever it is, I think it's happening to me as well."
Duo's shoulders shook with uncontrollable sobs as he clung to him. Heero held him so tight he was almost afraid Duo's small frame would break in his arms. He was angry; angry with himself, with Releena, with whatever it was that was hurting Duo so much. He wanted to protect him from everything that would torture this beautiful soul.
Heero pressed his forehead against Duo's and stared into his eyes, "I will never let anyone hurt you, Duo. I swear."
Duo smiled and placed his hand on Heero's cheek, tracing a line under his eye with his thumb. Deciding to take the initiative, he pushed his face closer to Heero and kissed him. He felt Heero immediately respond, almost as if he had been expecting it.
"Heero," he whispered into his ear. "I want you."
Heero sat back in astonishment. "Are you sure?"
Duo rose and pulled Heero up with him. As he led him toward his bedroom, he said nothing.
He pushed the door open and calmly spoke, "More sure than I've ever been of anything in my entire life."
Heero walked forward, took Duo's hand and stepped over the threshold.

Whoa, there! I kind of left it hanging didn't I? I'm sorry. I'm working on the next chapter, but it's going pretty slow. In response to the reviews correcting my grammatical mistakes, you're right, I shouldn't start sentences with conjunctions, but I just try to do whatever makes the story flow better. Keep the reviews coming.
