Chapter 4: Monkeys[1]
Heero Yuy was dreaming. Not necessarily a random occurence, but this dream involved Duo, and monkeys. In Heero's subconscious, Duo was dancing around in a monkey costume, trying to smack other monkeys in the head with a banana. This carried on for what seemed like hours until Heero woke up to the harsh sound of the snowy-screen on his tv[2].
He moved to get up, but felt some unseen weight against himself. Looking down, he saw that Duo had firmly latched himself onto his chest during his slumber. In what must surely be the eighth sign of the apocolypse, Heero Yuy smiled. Not just a lopsided grin, or a quick "smile for the camera" smile, but an actual wide-mouthed, toothy smile. It was during that precise moment that Duo decided to wake up.
"Holy shit Heero! Don't kill me!" Duo screamed loudly, as he gazed up at the chocolate-haired man's lip-splitting smile.
"Baka. Whatever do you mean?"
"You...you...you're smiling. Not grinning, but fucking smiling. It's huge too. Wait a second, I didn't do anything, erm, promiscuous, while I was asleep did I?"
"No, you didn't. I was just smiling because of how good it felt to have you curled up next to me."
"Oh. Ok. I guess I can allow that then."
"I should hope so. Hey, why exactly were you freaking out back there?"
"Um, well, funny story that is. See, during the war, Quatre and I had this little joke that if you ever smiled, it would be like, the end of the world or something."
"No. Not the end of the world. Just the immediate death of anyone within an arm's reach."
"Eep!" Duo screamed, and hid behind the couch faster than anyone should be able to move. Ever.
"Duo. Duo!," Heero tried to squeeze out between laughs. "I was only joking. I like you too much for that to happen."
Upon hearing that Heero like him, he jumped up and over the back of the couch in a move truly inspired by The Matrix. "Really, Hee-chan?" he asked in a voice that was so sweet it succeeded in causing the other man to shudder, and would have caused cavities in any normal person.
"Ack. Don't ever do that again. I don't feel like vomiting from too much sugar," the blue-eyed man managed to choke out while fighting back the urge to actually up-chuck.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just had to do it. Come here and Nurse Duo will make it better."
"First off, I was joking, and second off, never ever call yourself 'Nurse Duo' again. That is, unless I can be the doctor."
"Wow. Who knew that Heero would have such a wild side? So, you want to see me as a sexy nurse, huh?"
"I doubt you could pull off a sexy nurse," Heero said, waiting for what he said to sink in before finishing his sentence. "Because, you're already sexy. I don't think it's possible for you to be any sexier than you are now."
"Really? If you keep this up, I'm gonna have to take you to your bedroom and show you just how 'sexy' I really am."
"Sounds like a plan. Tell you what, I'll race you there," Heero said, raising his eyebrows after he had finished talking.
"You're joking, aren't you?"
"Of course. I haven't gotten the satin sheets or the candles ready yet."
"He..Heero," Duo forced out between laughs. "You're such a pervert."
"Only for the ones I love," Heero replied.
Without hesitation, he started to move closer to the other man. He placed a light kiss on Duo's lips, not wanting to force himself on the other man. His worries were unfounded, however, as Duo reached up and put his arm around Heero, deepening the kiss as he did so. The two stayed that way for what seemed an eterity to them, but were actually only about a minute. Seperating so that they could get some air, both men looked each other in the eyes and smiled.
A few seconds later, Heero found himself sitting with Duo straddling him on the couch, both men kissing the other for all he was worth. Moving his arms around Duo's waist, and leaning to the right, Heero laid down on the couch with Duo on top of him. They continued this way for a long while, pausing only to breath and move around if necessary. Soon, too soon for Heero's liking, Duo sat up, breaking the kiss.
"You know what Heero?," Duo said, continuing before the other man could continue, "Screw the satin sheets and the candles."
"My thoughts exactly," Heero replied, nearly jumping up off the couch. He moved over to Duo, dipping slightly and picking the man up by his legs and back. "So, love. Shall we repair to the bedroom?"
"Shut up and go. Or I promise to make later on a living hell for you."
"Eep," Heero squeeked, decidedly uncharacteristically, and hurried to his bedroom.
A/N: Ok, this chapter didn't wind up quite as long as I hoped, but I kinda forced myself to stop where I did. I wanted to devote my full attention to the details of teh Heero'n'Duo luvin, and I don't think its possible for me to do at 2:10 in the morning.
1: I couldn't really come up with a title for this chapter, so I decided to use something at random, and incorporate it into the chapter later. Surprisingly enough, monkeys IS the plural for monkey. Myself and several friends thought it was "monkies" but were proven wrong when I decided to go to a dictionary.
2: You know how if you fall asleep watching a video tape or something, and it's on an old VCR, the screen will have that snowy look, and make that hissing noise? Well, that's what this is. I know they were watching a DVD, but give me some leeway here guys, please? makes puppy-dog eyes
Ok, this was by far the most difficult chapter for me to write. The sheer lack of creativity in the title kind bummed me out, but I fixed that by playing a Gackt CD. This ended up being counter-productive, however, as I stopped at several times to listen to His-holiness-and-sexiness Gackt. You guys can probably expect an update by Tuesday. I hate to leave you guys hanging, but I have to work all weekend, and I'm going to be fairly tired during the next few days. Sorry!
