Summery 2: a basic 1X2 get together angels and gods fiction. R&R (read and review!)

Heero finds out and Duo's secret is not so safe…..

Duo Maxwell was in the shower washing his long luxurious chestnut brown hair. He had been on a five day mission without a working shower, living out of his Gundam and an abandoned building by an OZ base on L2. Getting his hair clean felt good as it felt like he was washing away all the bad memories he had been forced to relive involuntary. Even the uncaring, unemotional Heero Yuy had told him he looked like he wasn't doing well.

He turned off the shower and stepped out to towel off. Finally getting his hair relatively dry and wrapping the fluffy black towel around his slim muscled waist, he came out of the shower and into the room he and Heero shared. Duo sat on his bed and began to brush out his hair, letting the action sooth his frazzled nerves further. The others had dismissed his unusual attitude for being tired and worn out; when in truth……it was really how he was.

In truth, the 'happy act' he had was a mask, a fake, a façade. He didn't know if he could keep it you after that last mission. Seeing that church again didn't help at all. He got up to pull on a pair of black boxers and wife beater, before sitting back on the bed to braid his hair.

Duo only got half way through braiding his hair when sleep finally claimed him for the first time in five days. As he slept, traitorous tears escaped his eyes.

Heero Yuy walked up the stair at 11 pm that night. He knew Duo must have fallen asleep after he herd the shower turn off at 4:18 that afternoon and the braided baka had not been down after words. He could tell that Duo was exhausted as soon as he saw him come through the door to the safe house they were all staying at. He wanted nothing more to do then run to Duo, carry him up-stairs and make him lay down when he had laid eyes on him and the way he had looked. That braided pilot had a way of making him go soft when he wasn't careful.

Heero opened up the door and turned on a small table light in the room on the little night end table just inside the door. When he did, the room lit with a soft white glow and he could see Duo asleep on his bed curled up into a ball.

Heero walked over to him and saw his friend had his hair only half done. He silently grabbed a black hair tie from the night stand and tied of where Duo had left off, as he had no idea how to braid hair at all in the first place. Heero moved to the other side of the bed to lift Duo's legs onto the bed so he could sleep better. After finally moving the young light boy, Heero looked up to his face and looked on it with concern.

'Tear stains.' he thought as his hand lifted on its own accord to brush the tracks from the sleeping Duo's face. 'Why though?' was his last thought before he left the room to go down into the kitchen with his laptop.

"Okay now," Heero spoke quietly aloud, for he was alone," I need to find something that would make Duo so upset after seeing L2 again……"

Heero typed furiously on his laptop, if it were possible to cause smoke from key strokes, it think Heero would have done it. He had tried looking up for any record of Duo on the L2 system, assuming that the boy had been born there. Finding no trace, he looked through the other colonies data banks. Nothing.

"Where could I find you koi…?" Heero spoke once more. He had become rather fond of the boy since they had first met when he had shot him. Love at first shot, Heero had come to think of it as. It was hard to tell if Duo felt the same way too as he seemed to be very good at guarding how he really felt.

As a last resort, Heero hacked into the Doctor's files to find information on Duo. The only place he was sure to find something. With some sort of luck, as few may call it, Heero found a data page on Duo by G.

Name: Unknown (refuses DNA test to find out)

Given name: Duo Damien Maxwell (AN: I just decided to give him a middle name)

Age: approximately 17 at the time

The usual height, weight, hair color, eye color and such were there as well, but Heero skipped down to the part he really wanted….

Background: Duo was found at about age 12 aboard my ship as a stowaway after penetrating deep into my security systems. I had taken to calling him Maxwell's little demon, but he is all right Shinigami when closely watched and told of his past….

It has come to my understanding that the Maxwell Church and the street gang known famously through L2 as 'Solo's group' or 'Thieving Demons' as few liked to call them, were heavily involved. I have come to an understanding that Duo is also a walking symbol of his past and the devastation on L2 was the main thing that helped to fuel this boy with no family's need to be involved in the war. I placed him on this side…….

Heero had no more need to read the rest as he got a bit of information that he wanted. Now he could conduct more of a search on his secret love.

First, Heero looked up Solo's gang and found close to nothing other then they were a band of orphans that were the best thieves on all of L2.….which said a lot as L2 had some of the best thieves in the while Colony's and Earth. Other then that, nothing had come up on its members or anything, but the Maxwell Church, was yet again, mentioned. Apparently, they had taken in quite a few of the kids from that gang after a plague had gone through the area.

Heero's next and last search item of the night was the Maxwell Church as Duo seemed to have strong connections with it. Sights upon sights popped up in the search engine. So many that Heero had to clear many web sights from the options. Finally getting his options down to only a few he clicked on one sight that said in summary: the reports said no one got out, I say someone did…..

"What's that supposed to mean?" Heero inquired before entering the sight.

Upon opening the page he could only scroll and stair.

The home page was filled with different images he had seen in the news paper Odin Lowe had shone him when he was about five. The horrid images of the famous church massacre on L2. Bodies of young children and church hands, priests and nuns, were all over the wreckage of the church. No words were seen at all until the bottom of the main screen.

MAIN SURVIOR? REPORTS PROOF OF THE CHILD WHO LIVED

Heero clicked on the tab for proof that someone had survived the horrible federation bombing. There was a vid. link and it had subtitle options.

Heero tentatively click on the link.

The screen flickered in bad resolution, but you could clearly make out two people were talking.

Man: You told me about what happened before and I was wondering if you would say it on video for proof?

Boy: Why?

Man: It's a fascination that I have. I am trying to compile proof that someone really did make it out alive that day. Could you help me? I will let you disappear as asked if you do. If not I will have to turn you into an orphanage by law.

Boy: Fine you old man. My Name is Duo. That is all. No last or middle name. I was living at the Maxwell Church with Father Maxwell and Sister Helen before the place got bombed. 'the boy began crying and slightly sobbing at this point but went on' The only reason why I am recounting what happened is so that someone will know what really happened that day.

Duo went on to explain about the rebels who were staying at the church and why he had left. He told about how he had found the church in ruins and found the two people he loved most dead or dieing. Heero was shocked that Duo had been the one to live through that. There had always been speculation that a boy had lived, someone had lived. By the end of Duo's little speech however he said something that caught Heero's attention.

"I am the God of Death. I was brought here to cause it, but have killed those I love with power that is out of check. My true name is Shinigami and I will show you what I mean if you don't believe me…….I am Shinigami."

Heero got chills. Duo's 'well kept' secret. Heero knew the truth about Duo more in full now. He had known that Duo was not normal, as none of the Gundam boys were. He himself was an angel, as was Quatre, and Trowa. Wufie was a God of Justice and War in his own right, banished to a mortal life for three reincarnations by the almighty head God. That had left Duo out of the circle. Finding out Duo was Shinigami mad perfect sense to Heero though. The love of mortals, the jokes, the disturbingly dead, haunted and evil look in his eyes during battle, all the chatter…… everything was beginning to add up.

Heero shut down his laptop for the night and went to bed, planning to confront Duo in the morning with not only what he knew but the fact that he loved the braided Shini the moment he knew he existed with all his heart.

Duo stirred quietly in bed, stretching his sore arms and legs out. He slowly sat up and started to wake up a little more registering it was 5 am. Way too early for him but he knew he had slept a long time by the way he felt. A dreamless sleep that he was grateful for. He gently got up and made it out the door with out waking Heero up, only something he or Trowa could do. He made it out of the hallway were all the rooms were and out to his gundam with out being seen.

It was after he had begun to climb up Deathscythe that he realized that his hair was only half braided. Getting up and finally settling on his open cockpit, he undid the tie and secured his hair in a half loop, not wanting to undo the frazzled part only to re-braid it this early.

His poor gundam needed some minor repairs, so Duo set to working on those until he was sure food would be ready that morning.

Duo was working on the inside of one of the panels of his gundam when he herd the unmistakable steeps of Heero come in. he shrugged it off as he stuck one tool in his half braid and pulled out another form it's slightly messy confines.

He herd the oddest thing next, the sound of bid feathery wings coming his way. Duo was puzzled as he had not herd that sound from another for a long time. Thinking it could be one of his many Godly or angelic companions he stuck his head out of the panel, violet eyes scanning towards the ground. Poor Duo, he thought that maybe at least one of his former friends would have come to visit him in this form. He sighed and went back to work on his gundam before he herd Heero land on top and walk towards him.

"Hey Heero." Duo said without looking up.

"Duo we need to talk." Heero said flatly, try for the first time in a very long time to void his voice of the emoting he felt.

"Can it wait until I have this wire hooked up?" Duo replied looking up at Heero before his eyes got the size of saucers. "Holy Heero, you have wings!"

"I know."

"What are you doing with wings!" duo was going to fall over from shock if Heero didn't give him a logical answer.

"I'm an angel."

"Well that makes sense." Duo shrugged, he knew lots of angels. "But the question is why are you telling me?"

"Well I know your Shinigami."

"How did you find that out!" Duo screeched practically.

Heero's eyes actually softened as he explained about the web sight. When he finished, he asked Duo a question that he really wanted an answer to. "What do you look like when you turn into him? I mean this is what I look like, but I don't know what you like…."

'He sounds nervous.' Duo thought. 'I guess I can give him the show…' Duo looked Heero over for a second before responding out loud. "Sure, why not. You might want to stand back a little though." Duo suggested before getting up and out of the small panel he had been in.

Heero stepped slightly back while Duo moved a little bit away as well. Heero watched in anticipation as Duo closed his eyes and began to glow a startlingly close violet color like his eyes. Duo's wife beater had dissolved leaving his bear pale chest with slight, small black markings of his rank, expanded from the tiny tattoo that he had always had in the center of his back. A pitch black open trench coat materialized as black feathered wings sprouted from his back gracefully, with no wince of pain that came with a new godling. His boxers were covered over by black pants that fit nicely to his frame. Bear feet remained and his cross that had been hidden shown with renewed luster and shine. His hair lengthened, fixed itself, and braided down to almost his feet. Finally his scythe materialized and it was quite a sight. It was a silver and onyx scythe with engravings on the ancient angelic writings. Finally his eyes opened to reveal shining violet, literally shining before Duo had to mentally had to dim them.

"Well?" Duo asked hesitantly.

"I knew there was a reason why I loved you more then your babble." Heero was know fully expressional to Duo in his voice and actions.

"W-w-what?" Duo stuttered going over to Heero.

"I said I love you." Heero reached out and hugged Duo.

"I love you too." Duo sealed the love between Shini and an angel with a kiss.

The End
