A Call To Arms
Duo turned and looked at Heero as he heard Heero's incessantly ringing cell phone go off again. Every time that twice, damned thing rang it sent chills up and down his back. The war was over but it seemed to the violet, eyed boy that his own personal war started up again each time that thrice, damned thing sounded.
Heero had chosen to take a field agents position in the preventors. It stressed the American pilot out to no end when Heero got his missions... especially the long ones. From the length of time Heero was on that agent issued cell getting details this was going to be a very long and difficult consignment. Duo sighed. That meant at least three or four sleepless night's worrying about his infatuate. He walked to the doorway and listened to his friend speaking to Lady Une and watched his wild brown hair blowing in the slight breeze from the window.
"So who are you going to kill this time?" The braided boy asked when his companion was finished on the phone. Heero traipsed forwards and wrapped Duo in a comforting and familiar embrace. "It's a protection mission this time. Relena again." He answered. Duo repeated his sigh. Heero spent a lot of missions protecting that unworthy bitch. "Why is she always in need of protection?" He whined. He tried really hard not to discredit Heero for the assignments he got... but sometimes hiding his disappointment proved to be implausible. "Duo... I swear I will be home soon. Damn these tedious missions... I will be back soon... I don't have to go until tomorrow. I'll go pick some stuff up from the store and we'll have a nice dinner ok?" Duo nodded biting down the tears and reminding himself it wasn't Heero's fault. Heero didn't pick his missions after all.
When Heero returned from the store he summoned Duo to the kitchen. This was abnormal behavior as Heero seen his kitchen as a sort of sanctuary where he and he alone cooked. When Duo entered the room of white Heero beckoned him to the chair and beseeched him to take a seat. When Duo was seated Heero got down on one knee and presented to him a red and a white rose twined together. "I swear... I'll be back before the last petal on these two roses falls. And upon my return I will give all I intend to you."
Duo's first thought was that he had been correct. This was going to be a long one. He then looked at Heero. He had obviously gone to a lot of trouble for this. He leaned forward accepting Heero's promise and kissing him deeply. Heero was called in early not long after dinner and Duo placed the roses in the vase Heero had bought for him just after the war.
He knew the two roses twined together meant unity. He didn't know what kind of research Heero must have done to find that out but he knew. "Five days Heero. If you let these roses die prior to your return... I swear to any gods that may be listening... I'm going with them."
