One Last Time

They sat together, content. They weren't together in the sense he would've liked, but they were together, and that was all that mattered.

Duo watched the setting sun, feeling the burn from it like it was right in front of his face. He always felt that way around Heero. He just tried not to show it.

He'd tried so hard to get Heero to notice him, and to recognize that he was more then a joking idiot who couldn't take anything seriously. He sighed, without realizing it. He didn't see the blue eyes that latched onto him.

Duo smiled softly. He'd tired hard, and now it was time to stop. He was falling steadily for Heero, who was clueless to it all. He didn't want to get hurt, so he'd stop it now. If Heero hadn't seen him in all this time, he never was going to.

He slowly stood up, and was about to enter the safehouse when softly spoken words stopped him.

"Duo… At least you could try… one last time…"

Duo spun around, only to find Heero standing too, watching him. He stepped closer, and Heero drew him closer. He looked up at the slightly taller Heero (he'd hit his growth spurt), who looked like an angel with the dying sun making a halo around him.

"Do you mean it?"

"Let me fall into your arms, Duo. It could be alright."

Duo did the opposite; he fell into Heero's arms.

Three pairs of eyes watched from the window. Lively blue eyes turned to exasperated black. "See, I told you listening to 'that kind' of music would work! HIM's the greatest!"

"Oh all right, you win. Here's your money."

Green eyes just shined merrily.
