Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. Operation: Humanize Heero is mine, tho.

I know this chapter is, once again, very short. But at least Duo learns fast!

Thank you to those who reviewed. I really appreciate it!

Part 5: Master Chef

Duo was so unbelievably hungry. There weren't any snacks in the house, and Heero was out with their car, supposedly going to pick up more allergy medicine.
Duo was jealous of Wing, who was currently chowing on a heaping bowl of dog food.

"Buddy, I'm so hungry I could eat some of your dog food. Of course, if I did that, you'd probably kill me. Maybe I shouldn't have named you after Heero's gundam." Duo said. Wing barked and turned back to his food dish. Duo sighed. He was so hungry.

The front door slammed shut.
"I'm home Duo. Where are you?" Heero called out.
"I'm on the kitchen floor, seriously contemplating eating Wing." Duo said. The dog blinked at him, and Heero appeared in the doorway.

"So I guess you're hungry, huh?" Heero asked his braided koi.
"Uh-huh."
"Well, then, you're in luck. I picked up some stuff for omelettes and the grocery. I thought it was about time you learned how to cook something." Heero said as he flitted around the kitchen, putting things away. Duo was indignant.
"I can cook things!" he yelled.
"Melting cheese over chips in the microwave doesn't count."

"I-"Duo started. He had heard something in his koi's voice. Was it adoration? Duo had managed to get rid of most of Heero's monotonous voice, and he was proud of that at least.
"Get up off the floor, baka. I'm gonna teach you how to make omelettes." Heero pulled Duo to his feet and dragged him over to the stove.

"Now you stand here and watch what I do." Heero said. He proceeded to crack eggs open, beat them, and pour them into the pan. Duo watched in amazement as Heero added all the ham, cheese, tomatoes, peppers, and onions that they liked in their omelettes.
Heero dumped the omelettes onto plates and handed one to Duo.

"Eat. I know you don't need to be taught how to do that." Heero said with a grin. Duo nodded vigorously, his mouth to full to speak.

Duo woke up early the next morning, getting out of bed carefully so as not to wake Heero up. He was nervous.
He went over the recipe in his head as he made his way to the kitchen. When he got there, he began to get things out.

Heero woke up. It smelled like someone was making omelettes, but who would... Heero noticed that his koi wasn't with him. He smiled and got up.

Duo's timing was perfect. He had just dumped the omelettes onto plates when Heero walked in, a huge, proud grin on his face. Duo blushed from the silent praise.

"Looks like you're up for breakfast. I hope you like it." He said quietly. Heero took the plate and the two of them moved to the table.
Heero pushed back from the table once he finished. In his opinion, there had never been a better omelette, and he told Duo so.

"So I did good?" duo asked.
"More than good. I'd say you're a master chef!" Heero answered. Duo beamed.

Owari

Tell me what you thought about this one! There will be one more chapter, the epilogue, which will be a little different than the normal chapters. Hopefully, it'll hold up. Until then!
