Chapter 9

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing.  This will probably be my last update for a while, I'm SWAMPED by homework… teachers obviously don't think we have anything better to do! *sigh*

Heero slowly gathered his thoughts; his face flushed, and walked out to see who had been at the door, silently praying it wasn't Relena.

"Let's not tell Heero about this, he needs to recover…" Quatre's voice said reaching Heero's ears.  He stopped startled and pressed against the wall hoping to catch more of the conversation, but to Heero's annoyance the topic quickly changed.

"So… what were you doing before we arrived?" Wufei asked and Heero blushed.

"As I said before… it's none of you business!" Duo shouted back.

"Were you kissing?" Quatre asked.

"How…?" Duo asked nervously.

"Oh… I have my ways…" Quatre said smiling.  Heero frowned and immediately turned on his heels and returned to his room, after a quick sweep of his room he growled in frustration.  Fishing out the small camera from a dresser drawer he cursed angrily at himself at how he hadn't noticed before.  He stormed back out into the living room startling the other pilots who were now sitting on the couch, Quatre and Trowa on the love seat while Duo and Wufei were on opposite ends of the couch, and dropped the camera in Quatre's lap.

"It's nice to see you too Heero!" Quatre said looking up at him with an innocent smile.

"Why did you bug my room?" Heero asked.

"I have no idea why you would think it was me!" Quatre said feigning a hurt look.

"I heard you talking…" Heero said and suddenly Quatre paled.

"How much did you here?" Duo asked a worried look on his face.

"I heard Quatre talking about something you don't want me to know," Heero said his face darkening.

"Oh…" Duo said and fell silent.

"Hn…" Heero grunted before exiting again.

"Should we tell him?" Duo asked quietly.

"Now there's no choice but to tell him…" Trowa said and Quatre sighed leaning against Trowa.

"I'll tell him…" Duo said steeling himself and heading back to Heero's room.

"Do you think we could hide another camera in Heero's room?" Quatre asked as Duo left.

"Now… it's time to set my plan in motion… I can't wait for all of the Gundam pilots to fall neatly into my lap!" a figure murmured outside of Heero and Duo's house.  He moved into the light revealing it was the same man who had captured Heero before.

"Heero?" Duo asked slowly entering Heero's room.

"Hn…" Heero replied and Duo sighed.

"I came here to tell you what we were talking about…" Duo said and Heero turned to face Duo.

"What is it?" Heero asked.

"First, you have to promise me that you won't do anything rash!" Duo said vehemently.  Heero nodded in agreement and Duo continued, "That man who tricked you before… might still be alive…"

"Wh… What?" Heero asked freezing.

"It's only a might!  We can't find his body, that's the only reason we think he's still alive," Duo reasoned and Heero nodded.  "I'm sorry we didn't tell you right then, but we didn't know how you would take it," Duo stated.

"I understand…" Heero said smiling slightly.

"You… You do?" Duo asked surprised.

"Yes… I'm just glad you told me," Heero said (AN: OOC O_o) and pulled Duo down into a kiss.  Duo smiled mentally, glad that he had finally made the move and moved his hands around Heero's waist.  Wufei, who had come to see how the news was going over with Heero, smiled and closed the door to make sure that Quatre couldn't peek.

~ OK… That was a weird chapter but Chemistry is frying my brain so it was the best I could do at the moment.  Gomennasai! _ As soon as I get the next chapter up there is a strong possibility that it will be a LEMON… so be warned!
