Part 7

"Talking"

Duo's Thoughts

Quatre's Thoughts

Suddenly he felt something against his back and he fell into the river. "Quatre!" Duo yelled as he grabbed Quatre's hand pulling him out of the ice cold river. Quatre shivered and coughed up some water before looking around himself. What happened? Who pushed me? He looked at the worried Duo and frowned. It's not Duo, he would never do such thing. Maybe one of the others? Quatre looked around trying to find the other but noticed they were climbing upwards a huge rock while Relena was no where to be found.

Quatre was confused, this didn't make any sense, and it couldn't be Relena. "Quat, you're okay?" Duo asked, wrapping his arms around Quatre's shivering body. Quatre nodded and unconsciously snuggled closer to Duo's warm body. "How did you manage to fell in?" Duo asked, surprised that the always so careful Quatre fell into a river. Quatre shrugged a little, burying his face in Duo chest. Duo's clothes were getting wet but Duo didn't mind, he had Quatre in his arms after all.

"Come on, Wufei! You're almost there!" Relena cheered, somehow already on top of the rock. "What the? How did you get up there!" Wufei yelled as he reached the top first. Relena giggled but waited till Trowa and Heero were also in the top. Heero looked at Relena with widen eyes. "How the hell did you get here!" He yelled, totally confused. Relena giggled again and pointed to a wooden ladder that stood against the side of the huge rock. The three boys started at her. "Why didn't you told us about that ladder!" Trowa yelled, throwing his hands in the air.

Relena pouted at him and giggled yet again. "Would you quit giggling!" Heero yelled, irritated by her giggles. Wufei nudged him and told him to calm down. "I thought you guys didn't need the ladder, you're all Gundam Pilots after all." Relena said, smiling innocently. "But I'm not so I took the ladder in stead of climbing." She continued. Trowa laughed at her and wrapped one of his arms around her shoulder. "Let's go back down, but this time with the ladder." He said, smiling down at Relena. Relena smiled back at him and nodded.

As the two of them climbed down, Heero and Wufei stayed on the rock. "Trowa and Relena seem to get along very well." Wufei said, moving behind Heero and wrapping his arms around Heero's waist. "Well, at least some one can stand her." Heero said as Wufei pulled him closer. "The only one who can't stand her is you." Wufei said, smiling. "I have my reason to." Heero said and turned around, giving Wufei a quick kiss. "Come, let's go back to the others." He said and grabbed Wufei's hand.

"Ha-tsjoe!" Quatre sniffed as he wiped his nose with his sleeve. "Quatre? Why are you all wet?" Trowa asked as he and Relena walked towards him and Duo. "He fell in the river." Duo explained rubbing Quatre's back when he coughed. "Let's go back to the kingdom before you catch a cold." Relena said, giving Quatre a worried look. Quatre nodded and pulled away from Duo as he walked towards his horse.

On the way he bumped into Heero. "Ow, sorry Heero." He mumbled, walking around him and Wufei. Both boys followed his movements with their eyes. "Why's he wet?" Wufei asked. "River." Duo said, passing them and walking towards Quatre. "We're going back before Quatre gets sick." Trowa said to the two boys. They nodded and got onto their horse.

Quatre grabbed the reins and tried to get onto the horse but failed. Duo laughed at his actions. Quatre turned and glared at him. "Stop laughing and help me up!" Quatre said, getting moody. Duo stopped laughing and gave Quatre an apologizing look before helping him on the horse. Duo got up behind him and took the reins from Quatre. Quatre let Duo control the horse as he laid his head on Duo's shoulder and closed his eyes.

When they got back by the stables Duo woke up Quatre and got down, helping Quatre get down too. Trowa would bring their horse to it's stable and Duo would bring Quatre to their room. "Come on, Quatre." Duo said as he took Quatre's hand and pulled him forward. Quatre stumbled behind Duo, almost with his eyes closed. "Duo.." Quatre whispered, suddenly standing still. Duo turned around and looked at his friend. "What's wrong?" duo asked and yelped as Quatre was about to fall down. Duo quickly grabbed Quatre's waist and pulled him against his chest.

He putted the back of his hand against Quatre's for head and sighed. "You've got a cold…" He mumbled and picked him up, walking to their room. Duo opened the door and laid him upon the bed. Duo sighed again and sat in a chair. How do you get rid of a cold? Should I keep him warm? Duo stood from his chair and decided to get rid of the wet clothes. Duo grinned and blushed. As he putted Quatre's shoes and vest off he blushed deeply red. Maybe I shouldn't be doing this, what if he wakes up and freaks out? Just when he tried to remove Quatre's shirt, Quatre woke up slightly.

"What..What's going on?" Quatre asked mumbleing. Duo froze and looked up at Quatre's sleepy face. "I-I was re-removing your wet clothes, you already got a cold and I don't want it to get worse." Duo stuttered. Quatre's eyes fully opened and he noticed his shoes and vest were gone. He blushed and looked at Duo who was very close. "I-I can undress myself, thank you." He finally said, removing his socks first. "I'll leave you to get undress. Maybe you should take a warm bad." Duo said as he walked to leave the room. "Uhm.. Duo?" Quatre said, making Duo stop and turn around.

"Yes?" Duo asked, frowning a bit. "This may sound stupid but, I'm not feeling very.. strong." Quatre blushed. "And?" Duo said, grinning slightly. "And I was wondering if you, if you would like to help me with uhm.. the batting part." Quatre mumbled, his face getting so red that a tomato would be jealous of his colour. Duo smiled at the blushing Quatre and decided to take the situation serious. "If you want me to help you then I will, just tell me to leave if you feel uncomfortable." Duo said, sounding more serious and grown-up then ever before.

Quatre smiled at him and nodded. Duo helped Quatre to the bath room and prepared a hot bath while Quatre removed his other clothes and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around his waist. Duo turned around to tell the bath was ready but when he opened his mouth no words cam out. Duo never had seen Quatre's bare chest and somehow it was pretty muscled. He saw that Quatre was blushing so he turned around again, focusing his eyes and mind on the water and not on Quatre's body. "It's ready; you can go in if you want." Duo said and moved away from the bath without looking at Quatre.

Quatre walked slowly over to the bathtub, feeling slightly dizzy. He carefully putted one of his fingers into the water, feeling it nice and warm. Quatre looked over his shoulder, seeing that Duo was with his back towards him. He quickly dropped the towel from his waist and got into the bathtub. Why did I ask for Duo's help again? Quatre asked himself but not knowing the answer.

Quatre looked up and saw that Duo had turned around and was staring at him. Quatre moved his hands underneath the water, covering his member. He blushed, hoping Duo was not staring at his member. Okay, this is making me uncomfortable…He said to tell him when I was, but I don't want him to leave.. Quatre looked away from the water and noticed that Duo had moved closer.

Quatre gulped as Duo grabbed some kind of shampoo. "Is the water good? Not too warm?" Duo asked softly. Quatre nodded his head, again looking at the water. "You know I can go if you're not comfortable." Duo reminded Quatre. Quatre nodded again but didn't say anything. Does he want me to go away or not? Duo looked at the blonde and sighed slightly. He looked beautiful.

I wish I was in there with him.. Duo grinned at his thought. I'm glad he can't hear my thoughts, it would really freak him out.. Duo opened the bottle of shampoo and putted some of the thick liquid on his hand. "May I wash your hair?" Duo asked, almost sounding a little angelic. Quatre looked up at him and nodded. He held his breath as he totally went underwater, making his hair wet. When he came back up Duo was already waiting for him, sitting on the edge of the tub.

Quatre sighed and closed his eyes as Duo's fingers moved gently through his hair. Duo smiled at the relaxed face of his friend and continued his movements. After a few minutes Duo stopped and told the blonde one to get underwater again to wash the shampoo out of his hair. Quatre did what Duo said and washed the shampoo out of his hair.

Quatre smiled, looking at Duo's back as he dried himself of. He grabbed a huge towel and wrapped it around his whole body. "You can turn around now." Quatre said and watched Duo turn around and smile. Both boys moved out of the bathroom and into their bed room.

As Duo sat on his bed, Quatre opened his closet and grabbed a pair of boxers and an oversized shirt out of it. Without checking if Duo was watching him, he dropped the towel and putted his boxers and shirt on.

When he was finished getting dressed he turned around, looking at a blushing Duo. So he was watching.. A playfully smile came upon Quatre's face as he neared Duo's bed. Somehow Quatre didn't felt dizzy or sick anymore, was it warm water? Or maybe Duo's wonderful treating? Quatre, still with a playfully smile on his face, sat down in front of Duo. Duo noticed the smile and frowned, trying to suppress his own smile. "Why are you smiling like that?" Duo asked and gasped as he felt Quatre's lips on his.

Duo moaned into the kiss as he deepened it, pulling Quatre down on top of him. Quatre lay on top of Duo on his bed and wrapped his arms around Duo's body before pulling away. Quatre stared at Duo's eyes and remembered Wufei's words. There's nothing wrong with loving someone although it's from the same gender. As long as the person loves you back then there's nothing to worry about Quatre smiled slightly, he knew he loved Duo but did Duo love him too?

"Duo," Quatre said softly, looking at Duo's lips, almost placing his lips on Duo's again. Duo breathed slowly, trying to let some words come out of his throat. "Yes?" He managed to whisper. "Do you, do you love?" Quatre asked, looking at Duo's eyes again. Duo stopped breathing. Do I love him? I care about him.. much.. do I love him? Duo closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. He opened his eyes again and smiled softly at Quatre. "Yes." He whispered placing his lips on Quatre's in a gentle kiss.

Quatre sighed happily into the kiss, a smile placed on his lips. Duo feeling this smiled too, he loved Quatre and he knew Quatre loved him too. Quatre pulled away and smiled brightly at Duo. He gave Duo a quick peck on his lips and contained a giggle. "Thank you, Duo." Quatre said, placing his head on Duo's head. Duo smiled, wrapping his arms around Quatre's body. "You're welcome." Duo said back, giving Quatre's head a soft kiss before falling asleep, happily. My pleasure..

Quatre noticed that Duo was asleep and smiled again. He was happy, he never felt as happy as he was now, in Duo's arms knowing that he loves him. Quatre yawned and closed his eyes. He hoped this happiness wouldn't disappear anytime soon…
